Plll LA D E A, MAY 1R dUe'l tOCAC. place
yesterday morning between Sir George Macklin tit 4
Captain lately of the French arrov,.near
Black Horse Tavern, within a few miles of thiS
sir George Macklin was on the ground about
past three, attended by his second •Mr. ni;d•
Dr. ti---k, a short time after which Copt.
companied by his second, made his appearance. ,The
ground had been previously measured, twelve paces,
but at the instance of Sir George• the distance was
reduced to ten. They both tired at therm: inf
ment, by signal. Sir George received a ball near
the groin, anti C.apt. •P. was wounded in the left,
iirm. When Sir George received the .i.vound, I.e
beckoned .to his opponent to makehis'escape, as,d)t,••
was convinced his wbund was mortal. Mr. O and
Sir G.'s svrvAnt supported !tiro to his catrw,v, nud
he returned to town.

The. circumstances that produced this unfortiinatt,
affair will not be uninteresting, Sir Gco, Mar•klig
is enthusiastically attached to the Prince or Wdb,o,
and has, whenever it has been necessary, withittli
ever onnuniting his personal safety, been a v.aiont
defender of• his charaMer. Captain F. is on', a him.,
days from Frane, and, in company with Sir Ge,,irg7
and some others, the convetsatioo unfurtnnotcly'
turned on the present Royal Family of Great Britain,
when Captain F. tittered the Most illiberal stmt.:,
against every branch of it, but particularly against
the Prince of Wales. At which Sir G. Macklin de-
mantled if he knew that,he was a sithjea at 'Great
Britain ? Capt. F. replied in the affirmative. When
Sir G. informed him that " his assertionq with re.
spe4t to thk: Mince of Wales were base and unman.
Iy-kecinally destitute of probability and irtith,
would he ever 4utfer him or any of his nation to tra-
duce with impunity the cbarsaer of that. Prince."'
Words of such import followed,' that the parties
exchanged cards. In a few hours Sir G. received sa
challenge from Capt. F.
Sir George Macklin had been absent from his oft-
tive country (Irelud) about two years, anti tiortn4,,
that period had visited Germany, Sweden, and
States. He mtli retwoin4 from a vitit to tliv-111.4kh
