HAMBURGII MAIL.

(From the Hanover Gazelle.)
A very camplieated affair, which is the general subject
of conversation, took place this forenoon in the open space
before the theatre. Mr. W. D--r, a performer et the
opera, took occasion to make some allu.ion in the repre-
pre‘entation of the opera " Czlro and Zemmermar," on
Sunday lase, to a rich Englishman who lives her-, and
holds the rank of captain of cavalry in the Austrian ser-
vice, who is a treat amateur of horses, rides out every
day, and daily visits the theatre. This allusion the public,
much to it; honour, received with disapprobation. This
morning the Englishman who had been thus insulted met
D--r in front of the theatre, and asked him if his name
was D----r, and being answered in the affirmative, struck
him across the face with his horsewhip. A combat
ensued, in which both parties were much wounded
and cut about the heal. D r immediately
proceeded, accompanied by six witnesses, to the police_
office, in order to claim the protection of the laws. At the
police-office D—r, who was much affected by the excite-
ment and the attack, fell down insensible. He is sal,' to
be rather better, but is under the care of a physician. The
Englisman has already been exanieel at the police-office.
A great number of persons are said to bay0.1,....A the
efF,ay. It is pretty generally believ,•d here that the affair
~•;;-bt bore b,ea very well prey toed if the ,ict)r had re-
ceived from the proper quarter a reprimand for his im-
proper conduct. Captain N. N. spends here an income
of 8,000 and has, in truth, given 410 grounds for
ridicule. He has been liberated on bail, but proceedings
will be instituted in a Criminal Ccurt. The manager of
the theatre claims damages from the Englishman, because
D—r will probably be unable to perform for some weeks
to come. _ _
