The reports which have been recent.

New Orleans for medical advice. The
officers, whose names have beer pub.

New Orleans. partake Of his dissatisfac-
ton; and the consequences Of this
quarrel, which does not appear to have
been sought by the General, NAV vet
be disastrous 10 the cause to which his
late astonishing military success would
have thought TO have so much con,ri-
buied."- Bah. Hmaicaa.
Reports prevail that Gen. Houston
IS not on the best terms with the Exec
utive OF Texas, and that efforts are max
ing to displacc him from his command.
However much We NAV have disliked
some passages Of Housion's life, we
cannot but think, that ingratilude and
injustice would be displayed by any
course which would deprive him Of his
present rank in the Texian Army.

BY an official circular issued by Bn-

army, dated Harrisburg, May 10, it APP
pears that the divisions ofthe Mexican
army are becoming concentrated again
on San Antonio; and that they are still
IN number about 5000 men. We

THE LATE DUEL.

The correspondent of the New
York Commercial Advertiser gives the
following particulars ofthc late duel be.
tween Messrs. Jennifer and Bynum.
Of Congress.
The parties were attended 10 the
ground by MIR. Pey'on. Of Tennessee.
and Mr.. flanagan, of Indiana, be-
sides their seconds. (Mr. Sewer, OF
Arkansas. attended as the friend of
MIR. Bynum; Mr.. Pickens. of South
Carolina, as the friend Of Mr.. Jenni-
fer.) They fought a, the distance of
80 feet. On exchanging shots the
third time, IT was thought by Messrs.
Pickens and Peyton. that Mr.. Bynum
had fired before the word was given.
and they demonstrated on what appear
ed to them an irregulari,y. But Col.
Sewer had not noticed it; and the mat
ter was passed over.
Again, however, on the sixth ex-
change of shots. Mr.. Bynum manifest
" fired before the word was given
MIR. rckenS instantly advanced upon
him, charging him with the irregulari-
ty, which was promptly admitted bv
Col. Sewer and Mr.. Bynum himself.
who, however, protested that he did il
by mistake and accident, and throwing
down his pistol. begged pardon for the
lrregulari,y, and declared that Mr.. Jen-
infer was entitled 90 another fire. But
Mr.. j. who had behaved throughout
with the greatest GOODNESS and magma
nlmity, called out to his friend not to
regard the accident but 10 load up and
give another trial. Here Mr.. Bynum's
friends interposed, and asked tempo
rary suspension ofthe challenge, which
was granted. After some consultation.
the Objectionable language was with
drawn without condition. This was
all that had ever been required by Mr..
Jennlfer or his friends. and thereupon
the parties shook hands, and threw
away their hostility.
CamSe.-While the House was in
session on Thursday night, Mr.. Jenni-
fer, amidst great noise and confusion,
attempted to address the chair. Find
ing that order could not be preserved.
he remarked. that the noise and "un-
genilemanly conduct" in the house
should not prevent him from speaking.
Mr.. Bynum replied, your own un-
gentlemanly conduct has produced it.
Some alteration ensued, and exciting
language was used, perhaps by both
parties. No explanation was given,
nor any adjustment attempted.
