Previous TO this however, Mr.. Forsyth, after
giving in this transaction ample testimony OF his
fitness for any diplomatic agency, and which he
subsequently so fully tested at Madrid, sent in his
resignation second to General Clark and the
antagonist second Of Mr.. Crawford is second to
none in his zeal in The of that gentleman. Ma
lor Hay was substituted by General Clark.
The 10th of December, IA days aztec the accep-
lance Of the challenge, General Clarks second re-
quested of Mr.. Clawford's second the loan of the
charger of the pistol he polite as to furnish
last evening also the of the other pistol until

GEORGE MOORE.
Major Hay, at Colonel EaSiey's.
Thus it appears, that after the deliberaton of al
fortnight, Mr. Crawford, who had nprer ceaSedl
to depLore" the death OF the lamented Van Allen
reres to some retreat " achere heavenly peasirel
contemplation dtceLLs- md erer musing melancholyl
retgns" 10 rent hts grief and at the same time to
practice at target, that he might become suh |
GENTLY expert to give food for his penltence by
accomplishing the death Of another fellow being
Truly" the melancholy Jaques' could not have |
been industrious in seeking out causes OF grief
Neither did the result Of this duel prove even the |
simple point of Mr.. Crawlord's animal courage.l
The article furnished by Captain Moore in behalf of
Mr. e provided, that " mhenerer either Of the par
ties are uHnbi 10 stand, the contest shall cease.
This was softened little in the 9Th article of the
final arr angements: but the wound MI. Crawford
received on the first fire, in his LETT wrist, did not
prevent him from standing--nor was 1t, says Gene.
raj Clark, "such an one as ought. by any means, to
have terminated the contest Mr.. Ctawfords an
tagonist therefore was full OF hght' ever, and
vet Mr.. e. had moi sufficient confidence in his prac Ii
tice, to risk second fire. We applaud him for
even this late show Of disposition to avoid mbru-
ing his hands in human blood, or the equal sin OF
suffering another to commit the same crime: bul
we repeat it did not show that Mr. G. was possess
ed Of that game courage, which at Tyburn, or on
the duel ground, is equally considered the test Of
excellence.
