51.1.1 R, MANI 13.—N1r. Smith. of the
27th regiment, yesterday went out with a Lieutenant of
the duerriere; they tired three shuts at nine pares; all
of Alr Smith's 'stilled ; but, unfortunately, the first shot
of the Americ in took effect, anal carried away putt of
the bone of his leg, near the uncle. Mr. Smith persisted
in beeline his rroitn.ll but wished the lit•Nt discharger
as he had done from the beginning, to lie at four paces
only ; to which the American would not consent. The
second shot missed, but the third brought the gallant
fellow down. It struck near the hip, pissed along the
groin, and came out on the other side, and if no artery
he divided, it is expected he n-ill recover. The dispute,
like those of the 61th, originated in a point of duty at
the Itie,zed Staff liu.lrd. Strong measures must be
taken to protect our officers in their duty.

ficulty wouitt have resulted in arresting its progress.
