ia France, and General Lomarguc.
 The |llowing particulars are taken from the Temps paper; they are curiously characteristic :-
 "lt will be recollected that General Larmarque very recently called M. Lebeau the Sebastiani of Belgium in the Chamber of Deputies, He was then called to order by the President who said Imus observe tlnt you are insulting Mir Sebasani' Upon this the General said, if wished insult one my colleaguei, would choose some other place than the tribune; my intention IS to personily a system and 9ot commit personality This was all that passed at that time.
 "The iext day about one o'clock, as the General was on hIs way to the Chamber, his carriage was stopped upon the Point de la Concorde by M. de Rumgny who openedtE he door hlmself said-Gen- eral. M. 6ebastlan considers himself hurt by your observations of yesterday, and he has commissioned me to demand satisfaction for the aifront. have the honor therefore, to request that you will name atyour leisure two witnesses seconds) to the affair -Je TIC {emande pas miear, Gen. Lamarque repli- ed instantly; but who are the friends Of M Sebas- hanl?-'H. Jacequeminot and have the honor. Good and honorable men, said Gen. Lamarque, and you ser'e M Sebastlani, so you shall me; shall choose no others
 "He then alghted from his vehicle and advanced towards M Sebastiani, who was standing at the foot Of The brdge-lThe- General went up Co binl and said, How is this, M. Sebasani why did you not drop me line upon the subject yesterday eve ming, q this morning9 Is there not something like unnecessary display in al this? Is it necessary think jou that you and should prove our courage in the sime public way five were both Sub Lieu tenants?
 'Tle principals and their friends then bent their coursetowards the amps-Elysees, but when they had go there, M de Rumigny observed, "wby here we arc and without weapons, l must go and fetch some General Lamarque, aware of his being an excellent marksman, desired that they should be fur nlshed only with swords, but M. Sebastian said he could hoi handle that weapon. as he had had one of his arms broken, and insisted upon pistols. M. de Rumitny then set out upon his errand, and consid erabletme elapsed before his return.
 "ln the mean lime the principals sat down and enteret into conversation. apparently in the most friendly and unembanassed way. NJ. Sebastian drewh paper from his pocket, which he showed to his adversary. It was report of the disasters which the Belgian army had just met with in Elan ders. A discussion ensued upon the plan ofthe Princf of Oranges campaign, and as these gentle men seldom concnrred upon any subject. so they diff fered tpon this, one censurng and the other approv ing of the Prince's arrangements. The discussion lasted for considerable time.
 "When M. de Rumigny returned, the whole par ty setont for the Bois de Boulgne, and a secluded spot was chosen for the determination of the quarrel The tombatants entered thcket, and the friends withdlew to little distance, where they remained waiting the event Alier the lapse of some time becoming impatient, they again approached the spot but what was their surprise to the two principals still engaged tetea-tete in their dissertation M de Rumigny raising his voice, said-"Messieurs it IS impossible that two men distinguished as you can have any inclination to cut each others tbroats with out the most serious provocatiOn Only think ofthe handle which you give to the enemies of your coun- try, who are already too eager to triumph in our d vision. Gen Lamarque. M. SebastiaDi thinks him self offended, have you any objection to declare at the tribune that you had no intention of being per sona Sir replied the General with vehemence T ,coah sooner burn aU Me po,eder in Paris. Then at least you would write letter to the newpapers? No Sir, let us have none;' and then, in an impa- tient manner extended his hand towards NJ. Jacque mnot to requset pistol he added, Letthere beam end to this; come, come. let us to buSiness
 "At this moment M. Jacqueminot approaching him, said, with much feeling, 'But General. it is impossible that you could have had an intention of inuring an old comrade, who was with you six times on the field of batte-who during fifteen years has shared your opinions who has been your friend and is still so You have yourself stated at the tribune that you did not mean to utter personality; this ment you relocated in your carriage that compari- son between M. Lebeau could not offend any one ; for M. Lebeau is celebrated orator, and a man of talent. Why not repeat this?'-'Well, what you say is true; and he has had the same system as M Sebastian ;--that is all wish to observc.' Well hiSh, tO Wiitc itttet~Hut HIl Dut an amicable one, to the Minister in confirmation of these facts. Fl quite willing to do so, replied the General; for such is my opinion. However, as we have come here, l do not wish that this letter should put end to this affair for the present and desire an explanation. NJ. Sebastian, in his answers, inslnuaed that was party mum. These express sions seem more offensive than those made use of Therefore. ifI write him very frank letter, re- qure that he shall write to in explanation of the terms he addressed to me-
 "This was agreed to on both sides, and the taco letters were written at the time, and on the spot.
 "Not satisfied with this, Gen. Lamarque, getting into his carriage, observed-Gentlemen ifthe least obscury should arise upon this affair, reserve the right of considering the matter not finally settled. Oh! as for that, replied the second, we shall take care oft, and pledge ourselves to that effect"
