The Hufum Mails of the 26th and 29th ult. arrived
yeaerday, but bring little in additinn to the articles
which we gave on Saturday from the Foreign jour-
nals received the preceding evening.
An Armiftice has been concluded between the
Swedes and French in confequence of the defeat of,
the former on the 16th. The journals are not agreed
lerpeting the terms.
Thefe papers contain no intelligence front Poland.
The headquarters of both armies remaintd on the
Toth where they had been feverally eftablithed for
fome days before.
Private letters Rate, that in the beginning of laft
month, the right wing of the French army, under
the imtnedi..te orders of Marfltal MissEwa, made an
attempt upon the Ruffian cantonments on the Banks
of the Narew and Omflew ; but that the enemy failed
in his deign, and was repulfed with fome lof'. The
Ruffian army has been coafiderably reinforced, as has
alfo the PrufGan garrifon of Dantzick.
At Catwyck a report prevailed on the authority of

letters from the Hague, that BONAPARTE had fent a
letter to the Emperor ALEXANDER, complimenting
him on his arrival at his army, and propofing a con-
ference with a view to prevent the further effufion of
blood. It was added, that ALEXANDER had c"nfented
to the meeting, and had appointed the town of Leib-
iladt fur that purpofc. A letter from Varel, brought
to town by Captain BURTON', of the Youpen, men-
tions this report of BONAPARTE'S overture, with the
addition, that ALEXANDER had rejefted the propcfl-
tion, declaring that he wonlo not enter into any con•
ditions with the enemy until he had re•cdoffed the
Rhine.

Dirpatches were yeilcrday morning received by
Government from the feat of war in Poland. They
confirm our former intelligence of the Emperor
ALExamova hhving arrived at the head quarters of
his army. Lord HurcwrasoN had been invited by
his Ir Majeily to join him, and his Lordfhip
had accordit. ,ly fet out for that purpofe. Baron

HARDEN BF RG had been reflored to his former fitua-
Lion of Piime Minifter to the King of Prufila, and

his Pruill.in Majaly had exprcired his firm and une-
quivocal determination not to conclude a feparate
peace with France. On the whole, the intelligence
received yeaerday from Poland bears a favourable
afpeel.

Captain BLactwoon, Commander of the AJAX,
of 74 guns, which was burnt in the Mediterranean,
arrived in town on Saturday eveninv, with difpatches
from Mr. ARBUTHNOT and Sir JOHN DUCKWORTH.—
In his paffage up the Dardanelles Sir JOHN dettroyed
a'Turkifh fquadron, under the immediate command
of the Captain Pacha. Since his return, he has been
joined by the Ruffian fleet off Tenedos.

EITRACT OF .A LETTER, FROM AN OFFICER ON BOARD
SIR J. DUCKWoRTH's EQTADRONI DATED OFF TE•NE-
DOS, THE 12111 OF MARCH.
" Mc DEAR FATHER,
" Thank God eve are fafe again through tbefe Streights !
we hare had an efeape,having ten. the gauntlet Kith the whale fqua-
(Von, through fuck ranges of batteries, force of them throwing
flones of LO Weight. We have fuffered a good deal in yards and
hulls as.d men, and are now repairing our damages.--If we bad
tad only cosz, land troops with us, we (tumid have fuceeeded : for
when we firit appeared off the Dardanelles, with the Ali:lance Of
itch a land force, we could have immediately taken their cattle,
ind deftroyed all their batte!ies, which. whilft we remain matters
it fea, could never have been repaired during the war: this would
have made us mailers of Conftantittople at once, for the Turks
couldnot have refitted tu. an hour, when they had found us maftets
tithe S:reights; but this not having been done, all our chance was
a test de mein, and that was prevented by a calm. You will read
lathe Gazate the account of our loffes, and our dettroying part of
thelurkifh fleet. 1 his we hoped would make an impreflian.but
when we appeared eff Cmdantittople, the wind fell to calm, and
continued fo calm, that we could do nothing: then we lay like
logs in the water, till the Turks got the better of their terror, and
removed their fleet into a realm birth; and th:n having no land
forces, we coulu do nothing. Our Admiral foon raw the neceflity
of our fpesdy return as the Dardanelles were fortifying behind us
with ?aridity, and we had to fail of the enemy's line to fall on our
rear, if we mould get c,ipplici. Very different was our return down
the Streights brunt our pafrage the Latteries doubled, their
guns better placed and better directed ; Come of their guns threw,
as 1 raid, dories of 800 weight. Our efeape is miraculous: had we
Mid a week long, r, we might have never come hack : —Our dif-
appointment is truly mortifying, fur it they had let 30:0 men go
With It. from Sicily, which I hear 'he Admiral alk.:11 for, we ihould
have dyne our burin. is in a mafterly style. The Ruffian Iquadron
has joined us, and want us to make another attempt, hut I don't
believe our Admiral will iPdul6c them."

DU&L.

A duel took place, On Saturday, between Mr.
PAULL and Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, in which' both
thefe gentlemen were wounded. It arofe out of the
proceedings at the Meeting at the Crown add Anchor
Tavern, on Friday night, of which a report was
given in our Paper of Saturday. That report Rated,
that an expectation had been held out, in confequence
of an Advertifement, publithed in the Newfpapers to
that aka, that Sir FRANCIS Buttnevr would take
the Chair upon that «cation ; and that Mr..JoNas
Bottnarr read three letters, .in explanation of the
non attendance of his brother, the fub(lance of which

we gave in out, report.
For Mr. PauLL's explanation in defence of his
conduct, we mutt refer to his fpeech, a report of
which was alfo given in the STAR of Saturday. -Mr.
PAULL (poke in terms of friendihie and regard for
Sir FRANCIS, but it was evident that he was much
hurt. As loon, therefore, as he had retired from the
Meeting, he battened to wait on Sir FRANCIS But-
Darr, who was then at his feat at Wimbledon. Mr.
PAULL. was accompanied by his friend Mr. COOPER.
Upon his arrival at Wimbledon, he wrote a letter to
Sir FRANCIS, complaining of his condo& in very
Qror.g and forcible terms, but imputing it to the
couofels of a wicked and infidious advifer ; and with
the letter Mr. Coots& was difpatched to the Baro-
net. Sir Piratic's wrote a letter; in anfwer, to Mr.
PAULL, reminding him of former friendfhips ; to
which Mr. Palms. replied, that it was adding,
infult to injury ; and at two o'clock on Saturday
morning a meeting was agreed upon, to take place at
Coombe Wood, near Kinglion, at ,feven, the fame'
morning. Between three and four o'clock, Sir
FRANCIS left his !route, fending his coachman to
Knightfbridge to Mr. GAWLER, late a Captain in the
Guards, reel:letting him to meet him at Kingfion
without delay. as he wanted his Alliance in an affair
of honotir. Mr. GawLsa immediately repaired to
hor., And fittud him at Kingtlon. The two parties
afrembled at the fame honk, the one above, the other
below (lairs, but no inrercourfe whatever took place
between them. At the hour appointed they were
both upon the groohd ; Sir FRANCts attended by. Mr.
GAWLER as his lecond, and Mr. Petro. by Mr.
COUPER as his. The feconds agreed to place them
at the difiance of twelve paces, which were imme-
diately meafured ; and it was farther agreed; that
they flinuld fire by fignal. They bath fired at the
fame time, but without any other effeft than the lofs
of part of Mr. PAULL'S left curl. Sir FR•TICIS Bum.
osTr's fecond then aficed, whether Mr. PAULL was
fatibfied ? and was anfwered " no ;" upon which they
fired again, and both parties fell.
Upon examination it was found, that the ball had'
(truck the left leg of Mr. PatrcL, near the front, a
little below the knee, fplintering the bone. It did
not lodge in the leg, but flew off, tearing away the
boot-top in its paltage, and a flight fphnter of the
bone. The ball from Mr. PAULL'. piaci wounded
his adeerfary in the right thigh. It patted through
about the middle, nn the infide, near to what is
called the Pope's Eye, but without injuring any
leading vein or artert . Both wounds bled profufely,
particularly that of Sir FRANCIS. They were now
reconciled, and put into Mr. Paut.t.'s coach ; in
which, as loon as they were feated, they 'hook hands,
and exprelted the greateß concern for each other.
They drove first to Piccadilly, where Sir Feascra
was let down, about twelve o'clock, at his own houfe.
Mr. PA Lt. then drove on to his own lioufe, in Charles.
tireet, St. James's filtrate, where he was immediately
I attended by Surgeon Hosts. Sir FRANCIS is at-
tended by Mr. CLINE. Both Gentlemen are in a fair
way of recovery.

MEETING AT THE CROWN AND ANCHOR,

The Meeting of the Elators of Weittninfler, ad-
vertifed fur this day, was very numeroufly attended.
When a firing of Refolutions were read from the
Ch dr, purporting that Sir FRANCIS Buansvr alone,
and not Mr. PAULL, fhould be put in nomination.
The Meeting way engaged in warm debate when
this Paper was put to prefs.

We have authority to fay, that the Eleftion for the
Univerfity of Cambridge has been fixed by the Vice-
Chancellor for Fi iday, the Bth of May, and not for
Thurfday, the 7th, as fome accounts from Cambridge
have erroneoufly flattd.
Saturday the Clerks of the Court of Requefts, on
horfeback, decorated with black fcarfs and tremen-
&us cocked hats, perambulated the boundaries of
the city of Weriminfter, and proclaimed the Elation
for two citizens to ferve in Parliament for the fame,
to commence in Covent Garden, on Thurfday next,
at ten o'clock in the morning.
The Report of the Motion in the Court of Cam-
mfr Pleas on the 29th ult. Jacasos v. COLMAN,
which appeared in fi me papers, is incorree. There
was no fuggeftion of any thing like the feduilion of
the Plaintiff's daughter, nor is there any pretence for
any fuch fuggeftion, or of any other that can convey
the kali imputation on her charaaer ; as the is a
Lady who has ever condueed herfelf in the molt irre.
proachable manner. We are forty fuch a miftate.
ment fhould have found io way into the STAR.
