PARIS, NOVEl>sEft 21„

The rumours spread abroad yesterday and this
morning through Paris have been contradicted in the
following manner:
" Alarming rumours were yesterday evening spread
abroad through Paris. This time the rumour did not
relate to the death of the Bing of Naplcs—to the ab-
rupt departure of the Sovereigns—nor to the sudden
dissolution of the Codgress. No courier had arrived
from Italy, but a commercial courier had arrived
from Madrid, and on a fact so simple and so com-
mon, extraordinary news have been founded, of
which the following is a specimen :
" It was asserted that at the departure of the courier
on the 14th of November, Madrid was in a state of
great agitation; that the French Ambassador had
been so seriously insulted, that his .recal and war
seemed inevitable. It was added, that the Ministers
had met in an extraordinary Sitting on the receipt of
this news, and that orders for war had been imme-
diately given. The names even of three distinguished
Generals were given as about to set out immediately
for the army. _ _

" These rumours, which arrived too late yesterday
to influence the Public Funds on the Exchange, were
carried immediately to the Cafe Tortoni, where it
appears not ice alone is taken, and the Rentes, which
on the usual place of transacting business had closed
at 89 f. 20 c. fall one franc in this chapel of ease.—
The fall continued throughout this day, and the very
last quotation still felt the impressiOn.produced by
this news. We have thought it our .dutysto investi-
gate the source .9 ,these. no less for the in.
terests of truth thatt.for those of many of our readers.

4, We are able to affirm, that on the departure of
the courier who arrive& yesterday from Madrid, that
capital enjoyed perfect tranquillity : that neither M.
Legarde, our Ambassador, nor any foreign AMbas-
sidor, hid been insulted. It will presently be seen
how improbable it is that anything of that sort could
have happened. It is false that the three Lieutenant-
Generals alluded to, or any other, have received any
commission for the army; nay more, the rumours of
war which are propagated with so much eagerneis
cannot be founded on any military movement. For
a month past not a corps has been sent to augment
the forces of France on the frontier.
Now for the facts brought by this same courier,
to whom rumour has given dispatches so alarming.
We oppose these facts, of which we guarantee the
authenticity, to the reports of yesterday :—A propo-
sition had been made to the Cortes to subject the
houses of Ambassadors and foreign Ministers, like
those of citizens, to domiciliary visits; but the As-
sembly unanimously adopted an Amendment on the
Resolution, in which they clearly and positively ex-
cepted the hotels of Ambassadors and foreign Mi-
nisters from domiciliary visits.
•, The second fact is more important. A Deputy''
had made a motion to oblige France to explain her,
self categorically, on the question whether she consi-
dered herself at peace or war with Spain. This pro-
position, after being debated, was rejected during the

same Sitting.
44 These two decisions are the mote remarkablei
in-
. eunuch as very few Deputies were present; wbichina•

agent the
“ Equal
the Army
and pursued
ceived letters
contain nothing like such news.
P.S. A rumour was yesterday circulated, thatteo
&Urge' had been evacuated by the Royalists. This
newshas not been confirmed:4-4mm: des Delia's.
The Conailutionnel, commenting:: on the' subject
which we have already taken from the Joirnal des
Debuts, says, " that it is evident from the eagerness
displayed by the Ministerial Journal (the Etoik) to
contradict the report of war, to which it had the day
before given credence, that its article must be consi-
dered as a solemn avowal that the, iumours of war
are considered as calculated to inflict 'a severe Wound
on public credit."
The contradiction thus given by a Ministerial Jour-
nal on 'Friday had the effect of recovering the Funds
from the depression they had suffered on the two
preceding days. But while the French Ministers are
thus crying peace, peace, war is in their hearts, and
preparations of the most decidedly hostile character
are making to so great an extent and so menacing to
Spain, that the Government of that country migkt
justly call on France for a more distinct and catego-
rical declaration of her intentions than by equivocal
articles in the Menu cur and Journal des Debars.
The military movements still continue. At Bayonne
nothing is seen but ammunition-waggons of every
species. Guard-houses are to be constructed on the
glacis ; 1,500 wheel-barrows, and as many shovels
and pick-axes, are to be made.
Private letters have been received from Verona to
the 13th instant. The Sittings of Congress are not
very frequent, but private meetings daily take place
between the different Ministers, for the purpose of
iemoving the first obstacles, and smoothiegthe way
for subsequent arrangements. This seeming pulse
in the proceedings of Congress has given rise to
numerous conjectures; and, among others, it has
been surmised that in conseqtience of some of the dis-
cussions time would be allowed to receive Deputies
fcom the Spanish Regency, from the new Kingdom
of Brazil, from the Grecian Senate, or from the Ex-
Colonies of Spain ; but others state, that no Envoys
from any of these authorities are expected, or will be
received.

Baltimore Papers to the 27th inst. reached us this

The following is from the Baltimore Morning Chro-

that Morales has returned to Las Tacos' Indian
coast, after an unsuccessful expedition against Mara.
caibo. Nothing relating thereto has transpired, but
it is strongly presumed he has had a beating. On
Wednesclay niorning last his fleet, consisting of one
.brig, two schooners, and one flechera, anchored at
Las Tacos, and the same afternoon the Patriot squa-
dron 6 our La Guira, consisting of three heavy brigs,
two schooners, and two flecheras, touched off Aruba,
and receiving information of the situation of Mo-
rales's squadron, sailed immediately. We are anxi-
ously waitinglo hear from them. The Hercules and
her prize, the Condor, are here, making preparations
or a voyage. The Patriots have received a frigate
of 44 guns from England. She passed this three days
since from Rio de la Hache for La Gnira. She. is said
to be a very superior ship."

William Clark lives at Trine,- In 'the iituntrof Hens; is a
constable. On Tuesday last saw a tall and a short man going
through Tring; the men had since told witness their names were
OtOlter And Randall. On the following morning witness heard
of the murders, and went in pursuit to Gaddesden,- and arrived
U the Bridgewater Arms. Saw the same men in company with
a woman, and took them into custody. He searched Croker. and
found on his person a pair otstockings, a pair of braces, a plated
capper tobacco-stopper, a housewife, and various other articles.
The tobacco-stopper now produced was the same witless took'
from Croker; the white fustian jacket produced, witness took
of Croker's back. There were several marks of blood on the,
elbow and cuffs of the right arm. The jacket was very dirty, as
if an attempt had been made to obliterate the marks • 'the stains
bad been covered with clay or dirt ; there were also bloody mark*
40 the back. Witness also saw bloody marks on Ctoker's shin.
Croker.had a large black thorn stick. with him.
William Martin, another constable of Mot, confirmed the
testimony of Clark. There was a bundle and a•bag lying on the
table near Randall, which he claimed. Witness took off his coat
and neckerchief. The coat bore several marks of blood; attempts
had been, made to efface these marks. There were also marks of
blood on the neckerchief, where it had been tied. On the bag
which Randall claimed, there wan also a patch of blood.
`Maria Allen lived with deceaad three years, and during that
time she frequently saw the tobacco-stopper found on Croker.

farmers. This was fully proved lately at Whitney Court, lien-
fordshire ; where F. DAY, koq. shot a hen pheasant, which es.
dted the notice of the sportsmen from the immense size of the
craw, which, on being opened, was found to contain more that►
half a pint of that klestructive insect the wire•worm.

FATAL • DbFI..—CLONIABLL, NOVEMEER 20.—A
duel, attended with fatal results, was fought on Mon.
day evening, neat' Kilkooley, county of Tipperary;
between Mr. COOKE; of Pointstown, and Mr. J.SHAW,
attorney, of Killenaule. The• circumstances which
preceded thii duel were such as might naturally be
expected to lead to the unfortunate result which wok
place. The former Gentleman, as we have been in-
formed, conceiving the professional conduct of Mr.
SHAW ungentlemanly, resorted to that species of re.
dress, of late so much in vogue, of assaulting him
with a whip or a stick. The assailant was accom-
panied by a friend tii co-operate. Mr. SHAW pro-
ceeded at law against one of the parties, and chal-
lenged the other. The 'parties stood at a distance of
six pacesl Mr. SHAW, we understand (we speak
from the most authentic report that we could obtain
'floor much inquiry), was attended by • Mr. Jon
MILLET, and accompanied by some other Gentle-
men, of whose names we are not now apprised. 'Mr.
COOKE is stated to us to have been attended by Mr.
N. MEAGHER, of Cashel, Mr. B. WARE, and 'son e
other Gentlemen. • Mr. SHAW received the shot of
his adversary, which entered over the right eye, and
passing through the head, lolged in the back of the
skull. Mr. Suisse was alive at eleven o'clock yester-
day morning, but without any hope whatever of sur-
viving. He was attended by Dr. HemettlLL, of
Cashel, Dr. GOING, and Dr. KELLY, of Fethard.
