DUEL AT 13OULOGNE.-On Friday last a hostila
meeting took place between Mr. Dicii.enson and Mr.
Symons, two English residents in Boulogne-sur-Mer.,' The
circumstancts out of which the meeting grew were rather
singular. A series of public balls, tinder the denomination
o: "'Bachelors' Balls," has lately been commenced here, as
one of the numberless devices for the promotion of gaiety
for which this place is celebrated. In order to secure the
respectability of these Boulogne meetings (to make them
".select"), a " committee of four," two French and two
English, was appointed, expressly to scrutinize character.
'l'o execute the ditties of an inquest upon cle.racter—to hold
the• scales equally between damaged reputations—in such a
place as Boulogne, was, it must he confessed, no very easy
or'triviable task. or this, probably, the oliW hands were
aware when, shrieking from the responsibility themselves,
they appoi: tsd two Of the youngest neso in the town
(j'io the semi of an English physician, and Mr.
Symons,' son of one of the English Clergymen- here,
to act as scrutineers on behalf of their compatriots.
Among their edicts of exclusion, one was unhappily • di-
rected agaiost an English Colonel of high professional
reputation, who, although furnished with a tickets by one of
the bachelor. subscrihers, was refused admittance to the 'as-
seinbly. Upon demanding an explanation of the " Cotn- •
mittec," be was referred from one to another, each in tom
excusing himself, and making liberal professions of respect,
&c., to the Colonel. The reply was that thtt.:party
with whom the objection originated :oust he declared, or
time Committee would be held severally responsible in their
ewn persons ; aid in pursuance of this determination,
Captain (;ronorr (the late Member of Parlianient), waited
upon, 3.1 r. ,Symons, as No. 1, in the intended Aril:: serieß.
Whilst this negotiation was in progress, Mr. SsTuf'.,,,s was
urt in thi2 streets by Mr. Dickenson, who, as)) subscriber
to the l'etebelors' Balls, had given the. English Volonel his
t .c'.et. Mr. Dickenson thought that he had the first lisiht
to satisfaction for the insult offered to. his nll4ultiee, and
words ensued, ending iii something like a blox, The par-
