since time immcmOrial;s that all other nations

CONSOLE IY0.N.


The Baltimore Patriot seems to look upon Mr.
soule as having made himself very ridiculous,
by his late duel 1t may be so Mr.. Soule is as
able to do the like as any gentleman. But if
M did, We have at least the national consolation
OF showing that the French ambassador made
himself quite as absurd as ours
The quarrel, as far as known, seems to have
been merely a milliner's quarrel, and about
clothes 1t appears, therefore, to have been
taken up, by the several combatants, with all
the SPIRIT of tailors and to have been fought
through with the entire bloodlessness of yaIor
which marks that profession. Had all four of
those who fought fallen, it would still have made
less than half-that is, just four ninths--of a
man.
The causa beif being such, it can hardly be
that Mr.. Soule did not go upon the field with
all the honors of his new court suit Of repubii-
can silk velvet, richly embroidered, thick upon
him. In that, his latest glory" he must have
meant to fall, like Cesar folding his robe around
him, and to lie, like Sir John Moore, with his
Quaker coat about him. Nay, it is clear that
