We are therefore not adonislted to learn, that from the
beginning of the ensuing month of Jannery, the Go-

in order to secure, as much as possible, cleanliness in the

SIR HUDSON LOWR. •
The French papers of the 311th of Oct. rioter& the fol.
lowing letter to this St. Helena gentleman, and it has ap.
peered in the morning papers of today:
" Sia—After the altercalon which toot place be-
tween us on Tuesday morning before your house, and is
oonsequence of which I admit that I formally insulted
you, I thought you would semi me a challenge.—
As none has come, notwithstanding the time that,
has elapsed. I shall return to France. As I have
performed the journey to London, you may perhaps
form a journey to FAS or Ostend. or to any other place
France or Belgium, which may be egreeablel to you, an d
whew I shall always be ready to meet yon.

• 'Fb• Morning Chronicle says that the asepaign may
‘e considered as closed. Upoe what authority it says
Elie we do sot know; for here is as direct a challenge as
ever sem pat upon paper. Our gallant General would be
very wrong we thinks if he were to fight hir. Las Cases
Other in France or in Flanders. WO have heard (but
we know not whether truly or otherwise) that if the
Challenge be accepted of it will only be on condition that
the fight take place in St. Helena ; that great theatre ot
the General's eeploits. t We know not hear this is; bat
if we were in the tienerkFa place, we would fight the
furious Frenchman tio where bet its St. Helena.

Right to the Strongest. She forbids in man to marry ;
