The Paris Figaro of October II gives the following

The duel took place between 10 and II O'Clock, not

When they had arrived on the ground the seconds
arranged the preliminares OF the duel, which it was
decided should not cease until the surgeon had
stated that either of the adversares incapiCl-

and according to the rules OF the special weapon
which he had selected. NJ de Beaumont, on the
other hand, only parted, and, as he did not know
the management of the sabre, he only made thrusts
with the point. Suddenly he fell on the Prince most
furiously and pierced the upper part of his right

Writes Paris correspondent (on the 18th ult.) to
the London NeiOs:-
Chief OF the state has virtually subjected him TO the
energy and dictatorial spirit of his wife, who rules
now, with the notion OF being celebrated as second
Maria Theresa. The Empress is very inferior per-
son, with, as have more than once told you, will
of singular Cenacity. This obstinacy is held by her
TO be synonymous with power-with real strength
The principal object OF her recent efforts has been the
de dcto banshment Of all her spouse's old friends and
associates. She has always dlsllked them intensely
and for more than one reason, and she has never
forgiven any one Of them the attempts they one
and all made to prevent her marriage
with Louis Napoleon. But she has most perfectly
disguised her sentiments, and until the hour when
circumstances gave her prepOnderanCe in the gov
ernment the Empress was friendly with everybody
with M. de Persgny as with Count Waewsk; with
M. de Morny, with M. Drouyn de Lhuys, with Nj.
Fould and with M. Rouher. Her first act of real
authority has been the getting rid OF General Feury
ana great sensation IL creates. 10 Is quite true
that one argument used by the Empress Is a very
strong one-the notorious absence OF moral worth

the early days OF the February Revolution, and
what the temper OF the country then was, know
what the present movement means, and what 1t may
come to-; besides which, having been raised from
nothing to rank and wealth, they are disposed to do
whatever may be necessary 20 preserve tnelr POSI-
