FATAL DUEL.

On the arrival of the part of the 95th Regiment to
embark, at Harwich, two of the Officers, Captain
GIANT and Lieut. LAYTON, having had a dispute,
proceeded to a small distance frOm the town to settle
it. After firing twice Captain GRANT was wound •d
in the spine, and instantly expired- Lieut. LAYTON
and the seconds have absconded. Captain GRANT
now lies at Dovercourt, two miles distant from Har-
wich.—Thus has the country lost the services of tour
of her defenders ; yet men ascribe the madness which
leads to such deplorable consequences to principles of
honour !—Side ! Shame ! that men should yield
obedience to' a barbarous custom which reason and
honour equally execrate, and on the eve too of em-
barkation in defence of their country !

A duel was fought on Saturday morning, on the '
ground between Dramcondra-bridge, and Glassnevin,
near Dublin, by Mr. G. PIERCE and Mr. J.C. tiEks.\ N,
both of that City, when the former received a slight
wound in the hip.
