house here Mr.. Gibbs from Naples, dated
the 25th. 1t states that the advance of the
AustrIans to that city, was to the great sur
prise of its inhabitants, who were not def

themselves. A complete mystery hangs over

the people is beginning to manifest itself in a

greet. Last night tiUenfy .Ausfrans tcere muir

doubt of the fact"-Another letter of the
date OF the 9th, states, that on the unex-
pected advance of the thirty thousand Aus

did the army under the command of Pepe.
On the evening the vessel sailed, viz. the 27th,
the work OF carnage was going on, and
promiscuous massacre was expected. Such
are the Christian results of the Holy Alliance,

serted by the few regiments stationed i'm that

mont and retired to Modena, where the
Duke OF Genoa also remained. 1t is conf

Ambassador at Turin had offered the medi-
alton of his imperial master to the Provision

throughout the whole of Italy of those I'M

gress of Laybach began its abominable ag-
erosion on the rights ofindependent nations.

DUEL IN PARIs.-In the papers there is
an account of fatal duel which took place
yesterday. The circumstances which led
10 this result are extremely curious. The
parties were Nj. Manuel, Pole, and believe
jew, man of the greatest Responsibility,
and OF immense fortune: he was about so
years of age, and the father of6 children by
the wife who survives him. NJ. Beaumont,
the other party, is single man between so
and 40 he is also man of considerable pro-
pery. lie is native of Geneva. They
were both agents de Charge, class of men
here of the greatest responsibility.
About five or six months ago, NJ. Manuel;
who lived on the most affectionate terms
with his wife, received an anonymous letter,
saying that she was unfaithfu to him. He
tore the letter with contempt, and dismissed
the matter from his mind. In about "a fort
night he received second letter, with the
same information he treated this letter like
the first I'm few days he received third,
which stated that as he was too ncredulous
to be convinced, except in ocular proof, he
might have that proof the very next day if
he chose The writer then told him to 90
the next day at two o'clock to a particular
house In particular street, and to make a
certain signal which he described, and he
would then have no doubt of the writer's
veracity. M. Manuelwent accordingly 1.-THE
time designated TO the house in question, and
made the described signal. The door was
instantly opened by female, whom he
knew to be his wife, but who did not at first
recognize him, but throwing herself into his
arms called him by the name of Beaumont.
The husband was now convinced. He defer
verted his immense French property into dis
possible effects, and set off for his native place.

giveness to his wife, and even agreed to live
with her, provided she would totally aban-
don her paramour. The mother of six chill
dren refused ; and the husband went avay
without her. A few days ago he returned.

mont, and a violent alteration Immediately
ensued the result was a challenge, and a posi-
tive agreement that one at least should not
come out of the field alive. They met the

person, as frequently happens in this chance
medley mode of avenging wrongs] was kill
ed on the spot by apistol shot in the breast.
He is extremely regretted, for he seems TO
have been as much beloved for his manners
IN society as he was esteemed for his probitv
in business.
PARIS, April ls.--Bcarunont has been
forced to- run away to his native country,
Switzerland from the storm Of the indigna.
ton which RACES against him at Paris. His
colleagues on Change, and the merchants
generally, came TO resolution never to traps4
act business with him again. As the French
are not peculiarly sensitive on the point of
cohlugal fidelity, the extraordinary emotion
which this case has excited, must be attribut-
ed to the singular baseness which eharacteriz-
es 1t. Manuel was remarkable for his atteT-
ton to his wife, whom he had raised from an
obscure situation, a-ld had heaped benefits ON
all her relations: she is a French woman
Beaumont was Manuel's friend and il is re-
ported that Manuel had been of great service
to him in the promotion of his fortune. II
IS felt here that he ought not TO have fired at
Manuel, especially after Manuel had fired
