pretend to know at all the cause of the present mis-

some such cause, than to believe it possible that a

—The Black General, Goma'', who commands a
large force in the mountains of St. Dotingo, and
against whom President Boon has latelrdispatched
an army, is said to be an independent Chief, whose
defeat or success must have a considerable influence
on the fortunes of CIIRISTOPHE. A Decree has jest
been issued by BOYER, ordaining, that until the 31st
or December, 1819, lumber of all descriptions, except
spars, may be imported free of duty and wharfage

DUELS AT GIBRALTAR.

it wAs lately mentioned that several duels had
taken place between the Officers of the 64th Regi-
ment, and the Officers of the United States' squadron,
which Had touched at Gibraltar. The following details
of these affairs ate copied from the Dublin Journal :
On. Monday evening, io 22d of March, Mr. TAY-
ton, the Captain of an American merchant vessel,
was returning to hig lodgings from the Theatre, at
about half-past elevenp'clock, and when within four
doori of his house, he was stopped by a sentry for
not having a light ; (it is the order of the Governer
that no person shall walk without carrying a light
after ten o'clock.) Captain TAYLOR being detained
above half an hour, became impatient, and ran to-
wards the door of his lodgings, which was only ten
yaids distant.
The door was fast, and the sentry seized him :
wv.s brought to the Main Guard, when Captain ions-
STUN ,of thP 64th, after hearing the sentry's story,
which was somewhat embellished at the eapense of
the AmeriCan, ordered Captain TAYLOR to be com-
mitted to the crib. After remaining some time, the
American asked for pen, ink, and paper, which were
refused. Seireral respectable merchants interfered,
and Ca pt alq TAYLOR being at last released. demanded
Capt. JOHNSTON'S address,•which he declined giving,
on the ground, that he did not consider the Ameri-
can of sufficient rank to entitle him to a meetingi
Captain TAYLOR waited two days endeavouring
to obtain a meeting, when, being under a bond for
5000 dollars to sail by a specific day, he wis obliged
to leave Gibraltar. A few days afterwards, a.frigate,
a sloop, and a brig of war, belonging to the United
States, came down the Mediterranean. When the
Officers of this squadron had heard of the manner in
which Captain TAYLOR had been treated, they drew
lots which of them should fight Captain J. of the
64th, and itfelt to the lot of Mr. Boum, who had
a meeting,: and was wounded, but not dangerously,
in the groin. .The matter, as far as Captain TAYLOR
was concerned; would have rested here ; but a new
cause of offence occurred which led to other duels..
