Extract of a letter, dated Baroda (East Indies), April 4 We are all in a bustle here on account of the arrival of orders for our regiment to march on the 7th for Morassa, a place about 250 miles to the northward. When we arrive there, we are to be joined by some other regiments. What the nature of the service will be, or what sort of an enemy we shall have to encounter, we are quite uninformed."

A letter from Paris, of Monday last, says—" An event which might have led to very serious consequences, was on the eve of happening ht.e e yesterday. The son of Marshal NET, a wild and handsome youth, in a most insulting manner sent a challenge to the Duke of WELetNuxoN, couched in the most offensive and disgusting language, charging that illustrious individual with the deliberate murder of his father. Of course the Duke took no notice of this insolence, but wisely treated it with the contempt it deserved, and sent no answer whatever to it. The youth, exasperated at this result, and not being in want of partisans to urge him to still more desperate means to gratify his animosity, in conjunction with several Ex-Generals, resolved to publicly insult the Duke at the Opera, whither he was going in the evening.— Fortunately, however, theirintention got wind; and the Duke, on being informed of it, relinquished his intention of going; and thus for the present the matter has terminated. It is not easy to conceive the interest which this event has created among our political circles here ; every one is speaking of it, and it is supposed that it will give rise to some interference on the part of the Government. The individuals concerned in it are at present out of the way." New SHrsLAND.—An article from St. Petersburgh, of the 15th Attust, says, " The nautical expedition commanded by Capt.
