DUELS IN AMERICA.--On the 28th of September
a duel was fought between General Samuel Houston and General
William White, of Tennessee, the latter having given the challenge.
General White was severely wounded. The combat took place in
Kentucky, just over the line.—Young Murat and Colonel Ma-
comb, in Florida, have exchanged shots—the former, who belongs
to a fighting dynasty, was slightly wounded. •

SCANDAL IN FRANCEO-4"ARIS, NOV. 11.—A
curious appeal was heard before the Court of Cessation yesterday.
The Abbe Gigeon, curate of the parish of Fargo., in the depart-
ment of the Landes, in a discourse from the pulpit a short time
ago, to the great scandal of many devout ladies, openly asserted
that there was a married woman among his parishioners who had
every appearance of being enc'einte, though it was impossible that
her pregnancy could hare been produced by her husband, as he
had been absent fora long time. Now it unfortunately happened
if the depositions taken sera the trial are to be believed, that
there was only one pregnant woman in the minutiae at the tittle,
and she was no less a personage than the wife of the Mayor.
This lady, highly incensed that a distinction s'o 'honourable
should he made a ground of insult, attacked the priest as he de-
scended from the pulpit, and exhausted a ,complete Billingsgate'.
vocabulary upon the Abbe. Among other offeneive titles, she
called the reverend divine a scandalous priest. The offended
curate, deemed such an expression highly derogatory to Lis sacred
office, complained to the Tribunal of Correctional Police, that the
lady had been guilty of a gross outrage, inasmuch as she had in-
imbed a minister of religion; but the Court decided, that as both
pertit;s were in the wrong, the case should be dismissed with costs.
The Abbe then resorted to a civil action for defamation to the
'tribunal of Mont Marsan, - which confirmed the judgment of the
Court of Correctional Police. Determined 'to pursue the matter
a, far as possible, the Abbe then brought his complaint before the
Court of Caseation here; but with worse success than ever, fur
the Court not only decided that the judgment of the other Courts
was irrevocable, but condemaed him to pay it fine to the State for
