MONTENEGRO.
PARIS, TUESDAY MORNING,-
The Moniteur of this morning contains the fol-

lowing
;
"The much to be regretted fighting which has
been the consequence of the entry of the Turkish
troops into the territory of Grahovo has instigated
the Governments of the Emperor, and of those
Powers who are acting in concert with him, to
take new steps in the matter.

"The Government of his Majesty the Sultan
has now listened to their advice, and on the 14th
last. transmitted to his Majesty's Commissioner,
and to the officer in command of the Turkish
forces, the formal order to suspend hostilities.
"There is, therefore, every reasen to hope that,
thanks to the common efforts of the Powers, and to

the disposition manifested by the Ottoman Govern-
ment, this affair will shortly be concluded in a
peaceful manner."

Intelligence from Ragusa states that Hussein
Pacha had collected near Trebigue a corps of
2,000 regular troops, and was awaiting a rein-

attack on Trebigne was not apprehended. It is
stated that the late defeat of the Turks is to be
attributed to a perfidious act on the part of the
Montenegrins. The nature of the act of perfidy
is not stated.

FRANCE.
PARIS, MONDAY.

Fuad Pacha, Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs,
had the honour of being received by the Emperor
yesterday.
It is believed that the Turkish and Montenegrin
troops have already suspended hostilities.
The two ships of the line, the Algesiras and the
Eylau, which, we have stated, were two days back
ordered to put to sea at Toulon, are, it is said, to
proceed to the Adriatic, in consequence of the dis-
turbances in Montenegro.
The Pays announces, on the faith of letters from
China of March 30, that in consequence of despatches
which he bad received from Calcutta, Lord Elgin
after consulting with his allies, had decided on
sending one of the English regiments to India so
soon as the first reinforcements should arrive from
France, and which were expected about the end of
April or beginning of May.
Marshal Bosquet is so much recovered as to be
shortly expected at Pau, where the villa Olympia
has been prepared for him. It is hoped that his
native air will have the effect of completely restor-
ing him to health.
A most unpleasant effect has been produced here
1 . 31 a duel 'fought some days ago between a writer in
the Figaro (the Legitimist Cha rivari) and two sub-
alterns of the army. The quarrel originated in a
paragraph published in the Figaro, and signed
"Memo," in which some jokes, more suo, were cut
at the expense of the sub-lieutenants of the army.
The Youthful Bayards took fire, and numerous let-
ors were addressed to " Nemo" provoking him to
Justify his wards by his acts. " Nemo " soon threw
offthe mask which concealed his features, he avowed.
,hininelf as H. de Pene, and informed one of his chal-
lengers that he was completely at his disposal
Whenever he should be called upon to give satis-
faction. The challenger was an officer of the 9th
ehasseura, named Courtiel, and the encounter took
Place in the neighbourhood of Paris, in presence of
several witnesses. In a short time the officer was
Wounded in the arm by the civilian, and the affair
terrninated. The former assured his opponent that
had not the slightest animosity against him, and
they shook hands now that all was over. To the
„saurPrise of the civilians, another subaltern, of the
'tame of Hyene, who was one of the witnesses,
stepped forth, and said that the affair could not end
Laos--that the pkwantryof the Figaro had offended
the Whole body of the sub-lieutenants of the French
army;
and that he, as one, demanded satisfaction
Zilthe spot. M. de Pene declared that he did
17°4i. Consider himself bound to renew the contest ;
had already exposed his life by giving satis-
faction for the presumed offence, and if he con-
sented to expose himself to the sword of another
adversary for the same cause he might be called
fn to fight with the whole army. Sub-Lieut.
tlyene was not satisfied ; he answered angrily ;
the rejoinder was equally warm ; a discussion
arose; hard words were exchanged ; according to
some a blow was struck by the officer—accor ding
to others he flung a glove in the face of De Pane,
while, on the other hand, others affirm that
neither the one nor the other occurred. The
upshot was that a second duel ensued, and M. de
Ilene, who had already escaped one adversary, was
in a few minutes run through the body by a second,
and now lies in a desperate state in a public-house
near the bridge of the Pecq. There is little or no
hope of saving him. The principal editor of the
Agar*, named Villemalsam, demanded an audience
of the Emperor ; it was declined ; he was referred
by the Emperor's private secretary to the Minister
of Justice. The officer has been ordered under
arrest by the Minister of War, and a report has
been presented to this functionary for the Minis-
terial department. It is thought that the result
will be the adoption of severe measures to check
duelling, the necessity for which seems to be shown
by the present affair following so close on that of
Lieutenant de Mercy, who lies under sentence of
death, for murder. The effect produced in Paris by-
tais duel is most painful. It is the
subject of con-
vwall
hersation in every society, and, though I do net
see how the Government can be made respon-
siblefor these fatal encounters, yet it is undeniable
at the military element, which so largely enters
into its composition, and which has gained for it so
luch unpopularity, tends to excite discontent

among the population in an unusual degree ; and
you may judge of this by the fact that this duel is
regarded as an important and even ominous event,
