Extract of a letter, dated Baroda (East Indies),
April 4 We are all in a bustle here on account
of the arrival of orders for our regiment to march on
the 7th for Morassa, a place about 250 miles to the
northward. When we arrive there, we are to be
joined by some other regiments. What the nature
of the service will be, or what sort of an enemy we
shall have to encounter, we are quite uninformed."
A letter from Amsterdam, dated the 4th instant,

anticipated."
A letter from Paris, of Monday last, says—" An
event which might have led to very serious conse-
quences, was on the eve of happening ht.e e yesterday.
The son of Marshal NET, a wild and handsome youth,
in a most insulting manner sent a challenge to the
Duke of WELetNuxoN, couched in the most offensive
and disgusting language, charging that illustrious
individual with the deliberate murder of his father.
Of course the Duke took no notice of this insolence,
but wisely treated it with the contempt it deserved,
and sent no answer whatever to it. The youth, ex-
asperated at this result, and not being in want of
partisans to urge him to still more desperate means
to gratify his animosity, in conjunction with several
Ex-Generals, resolved to publicly insult the Duke at
the Opera, whither he was going in the evening.—
Fortunately, however, theirintention got wind; and
the Duke, on being informed of it, relinquished his
intention of going; and thus for the present the mat-
ter has terminated. It is not easy to conceive the
interest which this event has created among our po-
litical circles here ; every one is speaking of it, and it
is supposed that it will give rise to some interference
on the part of the Government. The individuals con-
cerned in it are at present out of the way."

btit a group of islands, of which the Russians have
made the circuit."
