We understand that the French General DE-
STAI NG was killed by General REGNIER. The
quarrel arose from an observation of RE-GNtER's re.
speding DESTAING'S condua in the battle of the
list March in Egypt. The latter had been wounded
and retired, and REGNIER. had remarked, that had
he himself been wounded so slightly he should have
remained at his post. A duel was the consequence.
1 hey fought with pistols at twenty paces, advanc-
ing two paces each shot. REGNIER was wounded
by the second. An explanation was attempted, and
REGNIER said that he did not mean to impeach the
personal courage of the other; but DESTA ING said
that no apology for such an offence to a soldier
could he received. REGNI E I'S next shut entered
.his forehead, and killed him on the spot.

Yesterday morning, about seven o'clock, the Mare
P&nomena, acid the Poney, started on Epsom Race
Ground, to perform over the turf their second match
for zso guineas aside, the Mare allowing the Poney
one mile in the hour, as before, on the road. The
Mare gained ground considerably for the first two
miles, but after that, for some distance further, she
did little more than keep it. The Poney was driven
into a gallop four times, and being obliged as often
to turn round, occasioned great disadvantage. When
the hour expired, a gun was fired as a signal for the
riders to pull up, which being done, it was so nice
a matter, that the ground was obliged to he measured
to determine the wager ; when it was found that
the Mare had only won by about twenty yards.—
The Mare did not perform quite seventeen miles
within the hour.
