HONOR VINDICATED. Prince Henry of Orleans Sheds Some Royal Blood la Vcfenw of HU Animadversions Upon th« Conduct of Italian Officers— He Proves the Weaker, but that Does Not Disprove the Truth of His Charge. Paris, Aug-. 15.—The count of Turin and Prince llenri of Orleans fought a duel with swords at five o'clock this morning in the Boise de Marechaux at V' ancressen. M. Leon tie if acted as umpire. The fighting was most determined and lasted twenty-six minutes. There were five engagements, of which two were at close quarters. Prince Henri received two serious wounds in the right shoulder and the right side of the abdomen. The count of Turin was wounded in the right hand. Prince Henri was taken to the residence of the Due de Chartress and received medical attendance. The condition of Prince Henri of Orleans is as satisfactory in every was as could be expected. The doctors, after consultation, have expressed the opinion that n«#important organ was touched, but absolute rest is necessary for recovery. Owing to rumors at Naples and elsewhere, the public had not expected a duel to come off. It was therefore quite private. The official account furnished by the seconds re- i cites fully the' circumstances leading | up to the encounter. The count of Turin, considering the the letters of Prinee Henri of Orleans to the Figaro offensive to the Italian army, wrote to him on July t» demanding a retraction. This letter could uot be answered until August 11, the day of the arrival of Prince Henri in France. The prinee replied to the count's demand by telegraph, main- I taiuing ike right of a traveler to record his experience. The official account then describes the arraugemeat for the duel, gives the names of the respective seconds, aud says at their first interview they agreed that the encounter was inevitable. By common accord the conditions were settled as follows: The weapon to be the duelling sword: each combatant to use that of his own country, but the blades to be of equal length, either combatant tc be at liberty to maintain the ground he gains, and each to be allowed the space of 15 minutes within which to advauee or retire; each assault to continue four minutes, the combat to be resumed in the positions occupied and only to terminate ou the decision of the four seconds or the advise of the doctor, when one of the adversaries is manifestly in a state of inferiority, the conduct of the meeting to be intrusted alternately to the two parties, lots being drawn at commencement. This latter feature of the arrangement was due to formal objection oi the seconds of Prinee Henri of Orleans to the direction of the encounter by a fifth party. At a later meeting yesterday, the seconds decided upon the place of rendezvous.

lhe process-verbal then proceeds tc describe the encounter. It says that I iu the first assault Prince Henri was hit in the right breast, though the weapon did not penetrate the thorax. On the strength of the report of the doctors the seconds decided that the j combat must go on. The second assault was stopped because the com batants came into close quarters. In the third assault the count oi j Turin w as hit in the back of the right hand, but the wound was slight. In the fourth assault »he umpire, Maj. j Leontieff, declared that the sword of j Prince Henri was bent and stopped the engagement long enough to furnish the prince with anew weapon. In lb« filth assault the combatants again got i into close quarters aud were immedi- j ately stopped. Prince Henri, in a counter blow, being hit in the right region of the abdomen. The doctors examined the wound and declared that | Prince Henri was rendered by it clearly inferior to his antagonist. Maj. Leontieff and M. Mouriehon proposed that ; the combat be stopped, and this wat done by common accord. While his wound was being dressed. Prince Henri, raising himself upon the ground, extended his hand to ths count of Turin, saying: I “Allow me, monsigneur, to shake hands with you.'’ The count extended his hand. The physicians present were Dr. Toupet and Dr. Hartmann, on behalf of Prince Henri, and Dr. Carle, on behalf of the count of Turin. This account of the fighting was signed by the seconds. The details of the duel show that the encounter was very sharp and determined. Immedi- j ately on the crossing of swoWs Prince \ Henri vigorously pressed his adversary. The count of Turin retreated to the | limit of the ground and then.assuming the offensive, touched his opponent The third and fourth assaults ended in long engagements within guard. The Temps says that the wound in the abdomen of Prince Henri is serious, but not alarming. Had the count of. Turin's steel got half a centimeter deeper the intestines would have been perforated. After his wound had received a preliminary dressing Prince Henri walked to his carriage unaided. The count of Turin, accompanied by his seconds, left Paris for Italy this afternoon. Kfjoldn: In Home Over the Result. Home. Aug. lfi.—Thfe news of the remit of the duel has been received with the greatest enthusiasm. Crowds fill the street, cheering for the count of Turin and the army, and calling upon the bands in the public squares to play the royal hymn.

Extra guards have been mounted a, the French embassy and consulate Congratulatory telegrams are showered u)>on members of the royal family from all Darts of Italr.
