FAUX PAS.—The following appoared fit G alig-
nanre Meg‘ericer of August 23; in reference to an afesir which
has recently excited much interest in London and Paris In
consequence of several misstatements having appeared in the
different journals relative to this affair, we give the following as
a correct statement of the formation of that connexion which
subsequently caused the separation so much talked of:--CaPt.
and Mrs. B. were married about nine years since, without the
consent of the Captain's friends, and lived together in harmony,
till it was fatally disturbed by Mr. L. W. In the year 1921,
Capt. B.'s health, having been previously in a precarious state,
became so alarming us to induce his physicians to order hint to
the south of Europe. He therefore obtained leave of absence
from his regiment, and proceeded with Mrs. B. to sp.i.nd the
winter of that year at Nice. There Mrs. B. became a convert
to the Catholic religion. From Nice, Capt. ii., being still very
ill, they proceeded to Genoa, and finally to Naples, where Mr.
L. W. Lad been living some time with his family. Mrs. B.
very soon became intimate with him, threw of all restraint,
braved her husband in every way, continuing to encourage Mr.
L. 11'.'s daily visits and constant attentions, meeting him (as
has been since proved,) clandestinely in private gardens, houses
gondolas, ttc. When her husband thought it right to forbid
her to receive Mr. L. W.'s visits for the future, or to have any
thing more to`say to him, she replied, • If I am not allowed to
see Mr. L. IV. I will not remain another day in your house.'
And accordingly, finding her husband- determined, she eloped
the next day, July 31, 1023, and threw herself upon the pro-
tection of her paramour, who hired a lodging for her, where she
(Mrs. B.) remained upwards of two mouths, during which time
she continued to receive Mr. L. W.'s visits at all hours ; in
fact, her conduct was so notorious, that upon her applying to
the British Minister at Naples to present her at Court, his Ex-
cellency
declined to do so. The line of conduct adopted at first
by Ales. L. W. in receiving and countenancing Mrs. 8., cannot
fail to seem extraordinary, for the could not have been without
strong suspicions, at least, of what was going on ; but whoever
hi. acquainted with that amiable huffy, must be satisfied that she
was only influenced by the purest motives, however detrimental
it might appear to the interests of the injured husband. But
Captain B. hail the satisfaction of knowing that his conduct
throughout this business met with the approbation not only of
his Majesty's Minister and Consul, and of every respectable in.
dividual at Naples, but also of Mrs. B.'s relatives. After have
ing fully established the guilt of the parties by evidence, Capt.
B. thought proper to send a challenge to Mr. 1.. W., couched in
strong terms, but without effect; this Gentleman declining
to accept it, upon the .plea that be bad done nothing to
warrant a meeting. The Captain, however, thinking other-
wise, repeated his demand for satisfaction, which was again re-
fused ; and, upon his making a third attempt, with suitable
expressions, out hero thought proper to Tilt Naples the next
morning with his family, and to go to lorence, Mrs. B. Ira-
yelling in his suite. At Florence, Mr. and Mrs. L. W., toge-
ther with Mrs. 8., took up their quarters at Sneidriff's Hotel
for several months. Mr. L. W. had most effectually palmed
his mistress upon his wife, till at last Mts. L. W eyes being
opened to the disgraceful situation in which she was placed, a
rupture, it appears, took place, the result of which was the re.
gular separation of Mr. and Mrs. L. W., the latter having re-
turned to her friends and relatives in England, there to live
peaceably, anti where she cannot fail to add to the happiness of
all around her by her amiable disposition and fascinating man-
ners. What is become of the hero and heroine of the piece re-
mains to be seen." f

DUEL.—An affair of honour took place last
Saturday evening (21st inst.) at Kingrnoor, an unfrequented
tract of common land near this city, between Captain Maxwell,
of the First Dragoons, at present quartered in Carlisle, and
Captain Johnson, Royal Navy, of Edinburgh. The disagree.
ment which led to the meeting occurred in the latter city a day
or two preceding; and Captain Johnson followed Captain Max-
well hither, it is said, by mutual arrangement. The former
was attended to the field by a gentleman from Edinburgh ;
the latter by one of his brother officers, and a medical friend.
The ground having been measured, they fired by signal, and
both missed. Another pair of pistols was then handed to them;
Captain Johnson again tired without effect; but Captain Max.
well discharged his pistol in the air; and this of course gave
rise to an explanation, an accommodation followed, and the
combatants left the ground without injury. The origin of the
quarrel is not accurately known...report says that a lady is in
the case.—(Carlisk Patriot.)

POETRY.

THE SWISS POET.

When the black, howling tempest is raging around me,
I'll start from the chains which to this world have bound me,
‘Vith my lyre in my hand, I'll ascend from the vale,
With the speed of the chamois, the rude mountain scale,
Whose bleak summit, wrapp'd in a garment of snow,
Like a pale banner gleams thro' the darkness below ;
There give me, ye iightnings ! a spark of your fire,
'Mid the clouds, I'll awake the wild notes of my lyre.
The bolt whizzes past.—llark ! the deep rolling thunder !
The proud oaks are shivered, the rock part asunder.
From the far bidden caverns the echoes awake;
On the crag's rugged bosom, like long billows break ;
The avalanche, torn from the white peak on high,
Bears the forest before it, and swift rushes by ;
The rock's broken masses are swept in its trail,
Till the crash of its ruin is heard in the vale.
In the clouds which beneath me tumultuously sail,
The eagle is flapping her wings to the gale,
Screaming, and swelling the blast with her moan
Destroyed is her dwelling►, her young ones are gone.
With her pinions around them, she lay in her nest,
She smiled on the storm, for it lulled them to rest,
Till the avalanche came, with its earth shaking force,
And swept all she cherished away in its course.
Here, as on nature's dread conflict I ponder,
My thoughts are raised high, and my heart swells with wonder,
The tempests dark terrors awake not my fear,
For the Great One who rides in the whirlwind, Is near,
As the bill rock beneath, and the clouds fly before thee,
Mighty Spirit ! I fall to the earth, and adore thee,
Whose voice is the thunder, whose breath is the storm,
When he bows at thy throne, what is man? but a worm.
