Conviction OF a Duclist.

Juan Pages has been found guilty Of manslaushter
at New Orleans, with recommendation to mercy,
Tor killing Juan Faster, in duel. The prisoner is
about 40 years ofase, and has family. The Court
er says:
This is the first time in the annals of Louisiana
that conviction for dueng has taken place. although
the statutes making the staying of man in a due
Ii is true that this duel fought under the mos,
atrocious circumstances, and in a most murderous
manner. Nevertheless, we hail this verdict as an
important legal precedent, and evidence of a
healthy state Of public opinion"
The duel, it appears, fought with knives, the
parties equal in physical power, and when one
objected the knife Of the other, the latter offered
to and actually did exchange knives, and with the
weapon Of his antagonist slew him.

Tho Cares of a Crowned Head.

In the course of his last letter to the
Courier DIES Etats Unis, its correspondent,
E. GALLAIDEr, has the following:
"The Emperor has sought a diversion from
the pressing cares which the precarious stua-
ton of the army in the East has caused him.
He has shut himself up--invisible to the whole
world, save his ministers-in the palace of St.
Cloud. He who is ordinarily so calm, cannot
now, it is said, conceal his irritation. Nobody
dares to approach him. The Empress herself
seems to have lost that supreme influence with
which her grace, her sweetness and her beauty,
have hitherto invested her. In the midst of
continual and violent rains, st. Cloud has be
come to her most dreary abode. She desired
to return to the Tuileries, but her august hus-
band for thirteen days resisted her wishes. To
him solitude was necessity. He recovered
his serenity and consented to return to the Iu-
illeries when he learned that Austria had JOIN
ed the Allies. His diplomacy has borne HIM
great triumph, he sees France return TO MIN
which at one time seemed so far away.
Since their return to Paris the Emperor and
Empress spend much of their time on the
Champs Elyses and in the Bous de BoulOgne.
The Empress appears to enjoy perfect health.
But the EmperOr's features bear the marks of
great anxiety, illustrating the truth of the say
ing that there is no earthly crown which does
not conceal thorn.
