dering dreadfully about Redfeld's con-

"to leave Mr.. Redfeld's confirmation or
rejection to the Senate, where it properly
belongs ;" and when called to account
for this astounding abandonment Of it's
principles it evinces the most woeful ig-
norance of the nature of the contest which
that appointment will involve"

THE sOULE DUELS.

By the last arrival from Europe, we
learn that our former French intelligence
stating that the Marquis of Turgot, the
French Ambassadors, who fought with
Mr.. Soule, Sen, has been raised to the
dignity of Grand Officer of the Legion of
Honor. 1t was reported that the decora-
ton was conferred as an approval of his
conduct in the Soule affair but the cor
respondence of the London Morning Post
says that Napoleon reprimanded Turgot for
accepting the duel, and that the decoration
which was bestowed as testimonial of
his diligence in the international copy
right treaty-was withheld from him fit:
teen days, as warning not to fight with
American ministers in future.
NJ. Soule, jr., has addressed letter to
the Bayonne paper, which contained what
he considers an unfair account of the cir
cumstances of his duel with the Duke de
Alba.
