DEAR S1R-The duel'' SO much talked of,
will not. think, ever take place, either between
Major Eaton Or Mr. Berrien, or any other two
beIligerents who may happen to grow testy.
should like to see in print the second correspond
ence that has taken place between Eaton and
Berrien. Poor Eaton! really pity him. To
see him is enough to convince you of his broken
down situation. In the mean time, Gen. Jack
son is by turns " roaring lions and "suck-
ing dove" The question has beea asked. why,
since all these matters have become SD public, do
not the police interfere? Perhaps they feel pref
ty certain, as the rest Of US do, that the matter
will end only in smoke. The " Inailsn infu-
ence" has been removed; ditto DR.. Randol PHI.
j We are here in as beautiful stew as you would
wish TO see, &C.

The Journal du Havre of the 21st of June,
says" We learn by the way Of Berlin, that
Debitsch is no longer CommanIcr-inC Chief;
Paskewitch having taken his place. And we are
also Informed. via Berlin, that the corps ofSachen
and Kreut1 has received complete check in the
Palatinatc of Augustowa. The appointment Of
Paskewitch to the command of the Russian army
is confirmed by communication from our Consul
at Wa saw to Nj. Scbastian Our opinion is every
day confirmed, that government has finally decid,
cd upon acting for Poland, in concert with Great
Britain. But we cannot conceal the difficulties
an undertaking of this nature must encounter
for at present, this can be question of nothing
less than of erecting all Russian Poland, together
with the grand Guchy of Warsaw. into an indie
pendent government. We cannot expect that
the Poles will ever desert the people who have
risen and bled in their cause"
