FRANCE
MOST BRUTAL DUEL.
PARIS, May l6-Everybody is talking to-day of
the disgraceful duel and public indignation runs
high against the conduct of the officers. Nj. de
Pene Is not dead, and there is some hope of his
covery. He is dangerously wounded in the abdo-
men. Some say that the sword passed through his
body twice.
Not of the Paris journals has, up to this time,
dared to say word of the matter, great is the
fear of prosecution for 'false news in an affair
which concerns the army. The number of officers
who came upon the ground with the determination
OF insuring the death OF NJ. Pene was said twenty,
but now learn, on good authority, that the exact
number was forty-three. 1t seems that a number
of officers met at the Cafe du Helder the Boule-
wards des ltaens to discuss NJ. de Pene's articles in
the Figaro, and there it was that list was settled
of the officers who were to call him out in
sion. 1t is said that the names were written out on
slips of paper, and that colonePs hat used to
draw lots to see who should fight first. M. de
Pene's seconds were the Duke of Rovigo and NJ.
Petra, Breton gentlemen, who was formerly in the
Sd Guards of Charles Y. He was also accompanied
to the ground by DR.. Guerin.
These four then found themselves in the face of
forty. The officer with whom he first fought, and
whose name have not heard, is nephew of Gen
eral Espinassa, the Minister of the Interior and
Public Safety. When this officer received the
wound which disabled his right arm, NJ. de Pene
said a few words to him expressive of his sorrow
for what had happened, and assuring him that his
article was not meant to be offensive The combat
ants shook hands. The Duke of Rovigo thinking
it was over, gathered up the swords and walk
ing away with them off the ground when another
IL,
Pene on the face with his glove and challenged him
on the spot How it was that the seconds did not
interfere to put stop to this manifest butchery
am unable to state
ing manners, who was the idol of the circle in
which he moved. He married only six months
ago.
SARDINIA.
TURIN, Nav FL regret to announce the sus-
pension of payment of the important silk house of
Felix Rignon 4 Co. 1t seems to have been little
expected, and the shock is the more severe Turin
passed so successfully through the caamitous peri
cd of the crisis which caused such CONSERVATION
and misery at Milan, Venice and elsewhere, that
hopes were entertained the silk houses would sue
ceed in carrying on until better times. Messrs.
Rignon's failure is said to be due entirely to the
great fall in silk, of which they large holders
1t is easy to imagine the effect upon commercial
house of fall Of 40 or so per cent. in article in
which it has great capital invested, and which it
could not realize except at still lower prices.
AUSTRIA
The Cabinet is opposed, on principle to that sys-
tems tic meddling in the internal affairs of other
nations to which the French Government is so
prone and it is besides of opinion that the author
ty of the Sultan would be greatly shaken If the
Powers should interfere to prevent his ejecting
Prince Daniel from districts which, from time i'm
memorial, have formed an integral part of the OF
toman Empire. Not long since the French Govern
threatened to send ships to keck if the Turks
should endeavor to recover possession Of Grahovo
by force of arms and yesterday evening it was ru-
mored in military circles that French vessels were
actually on their way to the Adriatic The Paris
and Russian Cabinets are of opinion that Grahove
must in future form part of the Principality of
Montenegro, becaase it in the hands of the
Montenegrins on the 25th of March, on which day
Aal Pasha made the following declarations:
"The Sublime Porte considers Montenegro an in
tegral part of the Ottoman Empire. 1t, however,
declares that it has not the intention to change the
actual state of things"
The British government is inclined to take the
same view of the matter France and Russia; but
Austria maintains that when Aali Pasha declared
it not the intention of the Porte to change the
actual state of things, he meant that the Sultan
would not insist on his sovereign Tor suzerain)
rights.
FRANCE AND BELGIUM.
The Times says sinister rumors have been going

and eighteen additional forts are to be erected at
Spandan, which will make it fortress Of the first
rank.
