FATAL DUEL A r BAYONSO-
A sanguinary and fatal duel has' taken Piroja.o
Bayonne between two officers of the ,COth Reg/ tete/
quartered there. The one who fell received ‘.OOl,
e wounds, two of which were in the breast. This 1101001
S nate event is, perhaps, without example in theaaunt 5
1 duelling, as the laws of honour prescribe to sec° blo,
it immediate cessation of the combat the mo eaeles,,r
e has been drawn by either of the principals. iv
e the present occasion the two seconds, subalte Oslo
e above-mentioned corps, and very young more the,fc

ho would kill him on the morrow, advising
ti same time to make his will, or not fight him. --17,017,
d wound he received was on the right hand, which rid
