ashamed. Captain Hyenne, the principal sec
ond of Lieut.. COurtel, formerly Master-at-A rms
of his regiment, and consequently the most dan
gerOus of hGlversaries, exaSPerated AT inc III
success of his principal, and sharing the hatred
Of his colleagues against NJ de Pene, advanced
upon the latter and announced that now ne i'al
| got to fight him. The seconds OF M de rene
| demonstrated against so extraordinary ana un-
usual a proceeding, but the Captain, to stop all
debate gave NJ. de Pene a blew IN the lace
The latter Immediately seized his sword again
| and nut himself in position. They fought with
! great violence, and n. de Pene received Two
/ deadly thrusts, one passing almost through the
| centre of his lungs on the right side, and the
other through the left side just below and be;
hind the heart.
The distinguished surgeon, N. Guerif, who
| was present as the surgeon OF the occasion, I'M
mediately bled NJ de Perc, notwithstanding the
blood flowed rapidly from the wound near the
heart. The wounded man was carried mile to
i little tavern at Pecq, and the surgeon thinks

but for the refreshing influence of the rain which
fell on his face on the route At the tavern ne
was badly lodged, but any movement OF his body
would be certain death, with such wounds as
those The young wife Of NJ: de Pene was I'M IN
! mediateIy sent for, and remains at the BEDSIDE
! of her husband She knew that he had gone to
fight, and the news of the result found her al
ready in the agony of despair. N. YelPeau was
called in for consultation by H. Guerin, and the
two able surgeons are Mow in attendance on the
wounded man. They have mot yet been able
/ To explore the wounds, and have given him
largely of mercury to prevent inflammation.
