a second to call on hirfiiend M. the Count de SANTA
.anim,-esba. would make the oinpfet eallettifts
,rea theirbapeeting. These being settle**, on Sethi
Noqebruary the two Commis met, neat the secoiscl
iortAge at Paddingten, attended by NVEnow , RS
to General CARASCOSA, and by the C. tde
'SANWA ROSA, as that of Gaye! al PEP& • x ar-
I ritiged the preliminaries of the combat, General Cst
UASOOSAI with great vivacity, attacked his adver-
sary, who, from a painful feeling of coming to such
extremity with a fellow-countryman, an old friend
land comrade, at first slightly receded. The two
swords coming into close and vigorous contact, both
gave way near the hilt; the combatants; nevertheless,
continued fighting until the appearance of several
people of the neighbourhood approaching the scene
of action, constrained them to desist. . . .

On the 28th of February, the two Generale, with
the same seconds, met at Combe Wood; General CA-
RASCOSA commenced the attack with impetuosity,
whilst General PEPE received him with great firmness.
Suddenly the W.() Generals found themselves in close
contact, almost within ,an inch of each other ; at
which moment General PEPE had the sword of Gene-
ral CA RASCOSA in his left hand; and, certainly, at that
instant, General l'Era possessed the power of killing
his antagonist. As. to the right of -terminating
his existence, it is the opinion of Count SANTA 11011,
that General PEPE ought not to have done so, but in
this he says both Generals differ from him. He says
it is, however, proper to add, that the attitude and
movement of General PEPE at this critical moment,
were such, as rendered it fully evident that be had
no intention of availing .himself of the advantage
which he indisputably possessed.
The Generals then separated ; and, having again
taken their distance, recommenced the combat with
equal vigour; ts hen General CA ft A SCOSA was shortly
after wounded in the right shoulder, in such a man-
ner as to disable him from continuing the combat.

The Espedador, of Madrid, ef. the 22d, affirms
that Sir Robert Wilson is to go to the Peninsula to
command a Portuguese Division. which will act
against the French, in case of invasion.

The affair brought on at. Bow-street, on Monday,
reminds us of a story of a similar constructive assault.
" Sir," said the assailant, ". thOugh I will not strike
you, I beg you to consider yourself caned."—" Sir,"
said the defendant, " then I beg youto consider your-
self shot through the body !"

Bow-Svaxer.—Yesterday John Craves, a man in the employ
of a carrier of the name of Mott, %vas brought on a warrant to
answer the complaint of Mr. Wrench, the conieditus,.for exces-
sive cruelty to a horse.
Mr. Wrench saw the defendant in the Strand, beating his shaft
horse most unmercifully. The poor animal trembled under the.
punithment, and did nut innuediately.pbey the command of the
brutal driver, upon which be took a strap and tied down the
head of the horse as tightly as he could draw it, In such a posi-
tion as must have inflicted extreme torture, and then belaboured
the poor animal over the head with the butt-end of his whip un-
til the animal fell upon its knees. This was done in spite of the
execrations of a crowd of persons, some of whom had well nigh
inflicted summary punishment upon the defendant.—The defence
was that the horse was obstinate. .

The defendant was finsd tOs..and costs. When he had been
locked up, in default of payment, for two or three hours, he
made an appeal to Mr. Wrench, on account of his children, who,
he said, must starve if he went to prison, and he had no money
to pay the fine. He expressed much contrition for his offence,'
and Mr. Wrench prevailed upon the Magistrates to discharge
him upon paymcnt of the costs, amounting to 12s.
Ma aciteaoccu-iiansr.—Jokn Keeling was-charged with rob-'
bing Sir George Alderson of a quantity of wearing appareL The
complainant had at various times lust a considerable number. of
articles of wearing apparel. His suspicions at length fell un the
prisoner, and on his being taken into custody, he confessed the
robbery, and produced a number of duplicates.for hialtraster's
property. The prisoner was committed for trill.

Querm-Sauaitc—Juxidd iidd, a constable employed to keep
order amongst the atage coaches at Charing-eross, was summoned
to thew cause why be detained £4 In notes of the Yarmouthamd
Suffolk Bank, found in the street, and are supposed to have been
lost or stolen by some person at present unknown. About a
fortnight ago a youth, who sweeps the crossing in Whitehall,
saw a bundle of papers wrapped up in the street, near the curb-
stone ; on examining it be found Ave pieces wish flourishing and
writing upon each, which he could not understand, and be
sheaved the papers to a man who sills chairs in the street, near
the Ship Tavern. It was abo.ut dusk in the evening. and the
man took the papers to inspect them by the light of the lamp;
he then told the boy that the papers related to money, and giving
them up folded, cautioned trim not to thew them-to any other
person till next day. The mention of money made the boy more
curious, and he strewed the n tes to another man, and found he
bad now only low papers. 'I s man took him to the constable
who kept the notes; and his es w for so doing npw was, that,
he intended to apprehend the chat-maker for stealing one of them
from the boy. Tbe Magistrate ordered the notes to be adv.
used immediately; and unless an owner
found, that they would become the propert,
