AFFAIR or Horiouit.--The account of the.
affair of honour between Generals CARASCOSA and 'PEPS,
which was copied from an Evening Paper (not Teit Sis)
into The Times of Wednesday, appears to have been in-
correct. Ilre,aro assured by an authority on which we can
rely, that the subject of provocation, out of which the duel
arose was not, as is stated in that paragraph, a difference
of political opinion, but the circulation of false reports which
affected the honour and reputation of General Ca;ascosa,. and
which compelled him to require such a satisfaction at the hands
of General Pepe. The assertion also that Gen. Carascotat had
announced two years ago his intention of so doing,.is false
and unfounded. Nor is the passage in which he is .stated to
have adverted in hisletter to the affairs of Spain, more 'consist-
ent with truth. TwO letters form the whole of the correspond-
ence on the affair. In General Carascosa's letter, which led to
the duel, no mention whatever is made of the Spanish revo-
lution ; and it would, indeed, have been ridiculous, if 'he
had adduced as a subject for a dispute of this nature,
the changes which have been operated by a great and mag-
nanimous nation. Respecting the assertion that General'
Caraseesa was disarmed, and that his life was in the power of
his antagonist, we can believe that Cfneral Pepe possesses suf-
ticient honour to have acted in the manner related; but he never
had it in his power so to do. It is true that the point of Gen.
Caraacoaa's sword fell fora moment into the left hand of Gen.
Pepe 4 but the position in which they were then mutuallyplae-
ed, their bodies having come into contact at the very first onset,
prevented the possibility of such a circumstance. Resides,;had
this been the case, would the seconds, both ,gentlemen, and men
of honour, have permitted the renewal of the combat, after one
°Lithe parties had received his life at the hands of the other (Times.)

PRINCE ESTERIIAZY.,--__ The following are the authentic
particulars of what lately took place between Prince ESTER-
UA Z Y and an individual named Bettera, respecting which seve-
ral incorrect accounts have appeared. It appears that this ind ivi-
dual has conceived for . some years that he had claims on Prince
Esterhaay's father, not, however, founded on gaming debts, as
it has been stated. The Prince tried to ascertain the validity of
those claims, but never could trace them to any foundation.
--In consequence, however, of the , pretended distress of
the man, his Ifighm,ss, at different times, gave him, uncondi-
tiOnally, some relief, amounting, altogether, to a large sum of
money. About six weeks ago, the Princestopped in the
streets by the same individual, in the most violent manner, with
tile intention of enforcing what he called his claims. Seeing that
he could not intimidate the Prince, he threatened him that he
should not
_get rid of him easily, if he would not comply with
his demande. The Prince seeing himself exposed, as an indivi-
dual mitt be.) in the public road, has tried to protect himself
from sue attacks, by app. ling to the laws of the country, since
Bettera, instead of acknowledging his benevolence, sought
only to make a profit of it, and has drawn on himself the na-
tural result of his Intemperate conduct. lie was summoned,
not before the Council, but Sir Richard Birnie, who coounitted
him to Prisons in default of bail.-- (Mi.)

The rumours which we yesterday communicat-
ed to our Readers, end which we characterized
as being far from improbable . are more than con-
firmed by the arrival of Paris Papers to the sth.
A crisis has been produced by the violence and
folly of the Ultra Majority in the chamber of
Deputies, which may render France herself the
theatre of " commotions," similar to those,
Ilia, in Spain, have formed one of the pretexts
for the invasion of that country. If the injustice
and obstinacy of the French War Party shouki
throw France into a state of anarchy, they them-
selves may be the first to taste the bitter fruits
of their own principle of the right of foreign in-
tervention, by the entrance into the French ter-
ritory of the Armies of the Holy Allionci;, and
by a new, prolonged, and most ruinous military
occupation of France ! 'Nothing, as it appears
to us, can now save France from the greatest ca-
lamities, and its Bourbon Government from the
danger of a final overthrow, but the immediate
abandonment of its iniquitous designs against the
liberty of Spain. How speedily is the prophetic
declaration of the Earl of LIVERPOOL beginning
to be verified, when, at the opening of the Ses-
sion of Parliament, he deprecated the threatened
war of aggression and injustice, not more for the
sake of the general tranquillity of Europe, than
for the sake of France itself, whose best inte-
rests and safety, his Lordship clearly saw, would
be fatally compromised by the course which its
Government proposed to pursue ! But, what-
ever may be the final determination of the Court
of the Tuileries on the question of War, after the

alarming scenes Which have jug passed in the Ca-
pital, and whatever may be the results of this
omened enterprise, if it should he per,isted in,
for France, the circumstances which have grown
out of the outrageous proceedings against M.
IVIANuEr., augur mostfavourahly for the eventual
triumph of the Spaniards ! The French Govern-
ment, it is now proved, mist retain the greater
part of its regular force at home, for the preser-
vation of the internal tranquillity of the Monarchy,
during the progress of its arms abroad, in a war,
undertaken against the inclinations and the inte-
rests of the French nation. The National Guards
have shewn that they are not to be relied on, as
instruments to be employed in the ungracious
duty of keeping down their countrymen with the
bayonet. Many of the regiments, therefore, which
were intended to be marched for Spain, must be
continued in their present quarters. If the war
project be not altogether relinquished,it is at least
probable 'that the commencement of hostilities
will be deferred.

While France is in a great measure occupied in
preserving her internal tranquillity, and while a
large portion of her force will be employed for
that purpose within her own territory, Portugal„
whose Cortes has declared that no extraordinary
measures are necessary for securing the► domestic
peace of the Portuguese Monarchy, will be able to
reinforce the Spaniards with a large and well ap-
pointed army !—Even without the aid of England,
the United energies of the two Peninsular nations
seem to be sufficient, under all the circumstances,
for their defence against the common enemy._
We have inserted from the Paris Papers copious
&tails of the important transactions which have
occurred in the French capital.

Madrid Papers' to the 24th ultimo have ar-

There appears to, have been no ground for these
rumours.--A dispatch from the. Conde del Ants,
DAL, dated Medinaceli, Feb. 19, states, that 13ii-
gadier TonnEs, who was pUrsuing part of the
rebels in the direction of Lower Arragon, having
learned that there was a column of factious in
Pozo !Tondo, sent Don ANTONIO RQMERO; of the

36 cavalry. lie completely surprised the banditti,
and made 114 prisoners. Only 12 were wounded
'and among whotn was the leader of
the band. ROMERO, besides,-100k 10 horsesi 86
muskets and bayonets, 40 sabres, and a military
chest. The latter concludes by stating that both
divisions of the insurgents were in a state of
complete dispersion.---A letter from Tarragona
reports that a party of insurgents had been totally
defeated at Verges, near Gerona, and, 1,300, in-
cluding the principal leaders, made prisoners.

[FROM A CORRESPONnENT.I
STOCK Excn ANC a, Half- post TNeive
Two Expresses from Paris arrived early this
morning. They 'bring 'the Fren6 Funds 81f.
50 cents, Spanish 33. The rise of one per
cent. in the French Funds, trust be attributed
to the manoeuvres of the Ministry, who can at
any time raise the price of .the public securities.
Some persons, however, think that this proves the
confidence of the French Ministry in their
strength, and their resolution to treat the tumults
in the Chamber of Deputies, and the popular
ebullitions of the Parisians with disdain. Consols
opened this morning at 7314- which prices they
maintain, with a good deal of business doing.--
It is said that the new Spanish loan will make
its appearance in the course of next week.

One o'Clock.—Within this limit, three more
Expresses have arrived from Paris, bring-
ing the intelligence that on the meeting of
the Chamber of Deputies, the day after M.
MArtuut.'s forcible expulsion, the War Credit of
100 Millions was voted amidst violent acclatna-
tions. Rentes bad been as high as 81f, 90c.

( From the Commercial Advertiser, Feb. 7.) '
The Debate in the House of Representatives,
on the subject of imposing higher duties on Im-
ports,' for the protection of manufactures, be-
comes more and more interesting. There is a
prospect now that the question will be deter-
mined at the present Session of Congress.
TIIE NEW TARIFF.—(CONGRESS.)
Mr. STEwAivr moved to take up the Bill, pro-
viding for the repair of the Cumberland Road, in

preference to the Manufacture Bill, which mo-
tion the House over-ruled. On the motion of
Mr. TODD, the Committee then resumed the
consideration of his Bill, the question being on
the motion to strike out the enacting clause.—
Mr. Dunn., of Rhode Island, delivered a speech
of an hour: his views wehe adverse to any consi-
derable augmentation of the duties on imports,
avowing his intention, however, to vote against
striking out the enacting clause, with the view
of allowing the friends of the Bill, and others,
to make it as perfect as they could.
