—Tile following will-authenticated tactfully sustains the as- •
sertion :—Some few days hack,' as his Royal Highness the
Duke of 'YORK, attended bp some Thlitary Officers, was en-
j hying a ride through Hyde Park, his intention was suddenly ta-
r .sted by the skill with which a ere-armed gentleman was reign-
ing in a young and mettlesome horse. As the rider approached •
tae groupee he suddenly recognised the Commander-in-Chief,
Ind apparently regardless of the animal's curvetting, he dex-
trotisly threw the reins over his own head, and taking off his

shewn to his Royal Highness, and an intimation was given
•t) the Captain to.attend the liorie-Cruart's on the following
day, which was a levee day. Not at all aware of the real object •
of his Illustrious Commander, the young seidier felt too highly
honored by the command not to be found at his le- s`; and amongst •
tathrong of veterans wLo " bore their blushing lienours. thick
upon their," the one-armed officer was quickly recognised, arid
saluted with that urbanity and condescension of manner which
has erdeared his Royal Highness to the Army of-Britain--
After the routine business of the Levee was transacted, his
Royal Highness entered into a dose alai familiar conversation,
With Capt. D—; both as to the length and nature of service
in whictahe had been engaged. The replies were such as ex..- ' •
cited the Etake's warmest arp .obation ; and when in Conc.o ion
he complimented the young seLlier on his well won laurels, he
trusted that his present situation was agreeable. Eacouraged
by this kind interrogatory, the Captain took permission to say, -
that though his allowance was liberal in the extreme (con-
sid ring his poor deserts), yet he panted fora life of activity ;
one arm (the left) was certainly buried beneath the walls of • a
B dajos, but the othearemained to wield a sword in the service
of his Sovereign. His Royal Highness smiled ; and after a
few minutes' consultation with one of the Military Secretaries,
informed Captain that his request should, if posale,

th ulks ; and a subsequent Gazette proved the promise was riot
fergotten.—( Morning Payer.) '
DUEL PREVENTED.—A tan early hour on Thu s-
day morbirg, a m2,tincT took place in a field about 3 quarters
a mile beyond Lambeth, between F— C---, Esq. and Captale
le--, late of the Royal Navy, the former g:_alth unan attended by
E
el—, Esq.; the latter by lea-e Esti. • When the parties
were assembled, very considerable delay occurred in the adjust-
ment of the preliminaries as tojeround and distance, which, how-
ever-disagreeable 'to the combatants, ultimately Prevci)ted any
resort to hostilities, 'at least for thepresent. The ground having • -
been laid down, in what is called the French drain, Capt. D:s
friend objected to the gentio.men 4.htinfr along the ridge,whien
would, he justly observed, prove an almost
This point being conceded by the opposite party, the distal-Cc
was measured across; the combatants agreed to tire by sig-
nal and had actually received their pistols, when Mr.Stornford,
aDI gis rate for the county Of St rr ey, leaped his he ree into the ,
field, attended by some of the patrol, who had suspected the gen - •
tlemen's hostile intentions, by seeing them cut at so early an hone.
Capt.l) aed his second a, tem need flight, bat were intercept-
at:d the principals and seconds on each side were eventually
bound over to keep the peace. - If tile origin of this dispute be •
so frivolous as reported, it is to be hoped the affair will remain •
as at present, though one of the combariints seemed much in-
dined to discuss it elsewhere, and there is no doubt that if `

opinion on a game of billiards is said to have ceused the quarvl: : •
and words followed, 'which being deemed offleteive, cards were
instantly exchanged ; anti had not the interruption thus timely
occurred, the life of one or both might have been forfeited
before this.
