A NINETEEN VEAIIS) DCKL. •] j general attention lias been recently , attracted to a monstrous French duel. The records of sVien things in France present another duel quite as absurd, but far less horIrihle. At the beginning of the present century the city of Strasbourg resembled Caen in possessing a certain number of \vrong--head- | ed gentlemen who took a pleasure in getting ;up disputes. Soldiers of all rankhnd ample opportunities of picking quarrels whenever they wished it, and often when they did not wish it. In 1794, a captain of hussars | (named Fournier.) indulged in this a'museito his heart's content. At a later period his merit and his courage earned him the epaulets of a general of division. llis aggressive temper and hjs address with, arms rendered his name celebrated in the annals of the duel. lie was invariably the victor in these unlorttlnate meetings; and Strasbourg had to reproach him for the loss of several of her sons on tin; most futile motives of quarrel, and especially for having killed, on very trilling grounds, a young man named Illume —generally beloved, and the only supj port of a numerous family—Whom tie had [challenged without any plausible reason, and j slain without the slightest pity. The death [of Illume was regarded as a public misfortune, and sympathized in by a public mourning. * On the very day of Bluine’s funiOral General Moreau gave a hall, to which ! were invited al! the principle citizens. If, was dejsirabiO;to avoid the scandalous scene which [could n]ot (ail to take place between the fellow to vj-ns men, perhaps She relations, of the ( unfortunate deceased and the aggressor, who i was styled his murderer. General Moreau, | therefore, desired his aiti-de-camp, Captain , Dupont, afterward the General who capita- | luted at Bayleji, to prevent Captain Fournier from entering the ball room. Dupont Honed himself in a corner of one of the an-te-chambers, and immediately ho caught ' sight of him and accosted him abruptly. ° 1 “What are you going to do liereT’ “All! That’s you, Dupont! Good evening. I Parbleu! Vou 'see what, I am doing; 1 am j come to the ball.” . “Are you nut ashamed to come to a ball j ’I'U very day of the funeral of that poor unhappy fellow, Blumc! will his friends : and relations say!” “They may say what they please; it is all one to me. But I should like to know what business is that of yours!” “It is everybody’s business. Everybody is thinking and talking about it.” “Everybody is wrong then. I don’t like people to poke their nose Into my ullairs. And now, if you please, let me pass.” “You shall not go into the ball room.” “And pray, why!” “Because you must take yourself off in- j stead. The General orders you to retire to your apartments.” J 1 Am I to be turned out of the bouse!” “No, it is merely precaution.” “Arc you aware of life consequence of turning Fournier out of doors!” | “I do not want to bear any of your [ rhodomantades, Just have the goodness to ] take yourself off*.” “Listen,” said Fournier, in a fury ; “I cannot have my revenge of the General, bejcau.se he is my superior officer; but you are j my equal; you have presumed to take your share in the insult, and you shall pay for the j whole of it. We will light. | “Listen in turn,” said Dupont. <‘l have | long been out of patience with you. lam i disgusted at your bullying ways; and I ; hope to give you a lesson which you will j remember.” j ' Fournier passed a sleepless night. He would have gone mad with vexation had he not been consoled by the hope of killing Dupont. But the result of the combat was not what he had expected, for Dupont gave him a frightful wound. “You fence well,” said Fournier, as he fell. “Nut badly, as you see.” “ Yes; hut now 1 know your game. You wont catch trie another time, as I will show you when I am well again.” “You wish for another encounter!” “I’arblue! That’s n matter of course.” In fact, after a few week’s nursing, Fournier, lor Mu second time, was face to face He gave Dupont a home thrust, with the comment; ' “N on see clearly that you hold your hand j too low to parry properly. Alter you made { your thrust you gave mo sufficient time to!

1 stick three inches of cold iron between vour [ribs.” i “This is only the second act,” cried Duj pout. “We'll come to the catastrophe as soon as possible.” Fournier would have liked to concluded ; the third act hv the aid of the pistol, but ! Dupont claimed the 'military privilege which j obliges officers to fight with their' swords. Dupont was wise in maintaining his right, | for Fournier’s expertness as a pistol shot is still remembered with astonishment. He j had accustomed his servant to hold between [ bis fingers a pieee of ttioney, which he sent flying with a bullet at twenty-five paces’distance. And frequently one of the hussars of his regiment, as lie galloped past smoking his pipe, was surprised to find it smashed between his lips, without suspecting that Fournier had amused himself hv making a j target of the tobacco-bowl. The catastrophe, since so we must style it, brought about no decisive result; they each received a trifling scratch. Then these two wise heads, annoyed at so negative result, agreed, to recommence the struggle until one ot the two should confess himself beaten, and should renounce all further re- ; Distance. They therefore drew up the foi- ; lowing little treaty, which still exists in the possession of Colonel Berger: J. Whenever Messieurs Dupont and Fournier shall happen to be within thirty leagues’ i distance of each other they shall eafih perform half the distance for the sake of meeting sword in hand. 11. If one of the two contracting parties is unavoidably hindered by his military duties, the party who is free shall travel the whole distance, in order to reconcile the ne- [ cdjssities of the services with the exigencies tlje present treaty. 'III. No excuse shall be admissible except those.resulting ffom military obligations. IV. The present treaty being entered into in good faith, its conditions may be modified with the consent of the parties. I his treaty was executed. Whenever the two madmen were able to meet, they [ fought, and the most extraordinary correspondence, in the s-cond person, too, the most familiar form of French speech, was j exchanged between them. “1 am invited to a dejuriier by the officers of the regiment of Chasseurs at Luaeville. j (wrote one of them.) I expect to take a j journey there to accept this polite in vita- ! tion. As you are on leave of absence there, ! we will take advantage, if yotl like, of mv I Umrt stay to have a poke at each other.” ' , i Or'again: I n “hear Friendl T shall be passing through ! Strasbourg the fifth of NovenPber next, about noon. You will Wait for me at the Hotel des Postcs; we will-have a little fencing.” Sometimes the promotion of these duelists put a temporary stop to the regular course of their encounters. The third .article of the treaty enjoined respect for the military hierarchy. There is a letter from Fournier to Dupont as follows: “Aly Dear Dupont: I am informed that the \ Emperor has done justice to your merits by 1 promoting you to the rank of General of Brigade. Accept my sincere congratulations on an advancement which is no more j i than the natural consequence of your knowl- ' ; edge and vour courage. Far myself, there I I I s a double motive fur rejoicing at your notn- I illation. In the first place, [the satisfaction i given by a circumstance so flattering to your j future prospects; and, secondly, the perm is- i j sit * n which it gives us of having a turn to- • gether at the first opportunity.” The singularity of this affair, lasting as it i did, many years, attraced in time the public attention. Dupont and iflourffief strictly ob- ; served the clauses of their treaty. Their persons were marked with numerous scars; they continued, all the same for that, 1 to cut and slush at each other in the most enthusiastic style; and General Fornier used to observed, now and then: “It is really astonishing that I, who always kill my man, cannot contrive to kill that devil, Dupont.” By and by General Dupont received the order to join the army of the Grisons. Dupont was not expected, and no preparation 1 bad been made for liis reception. There was no inn upon the spot occupied by the : stall. The General was in vain trying to ! find a lodging, when he perceived before him a chalet, through, whose windows the light of a lire was gleaming. Dupont did not lies- ' itate to go and ask shelter and hospitality 1 of the fortunate occupants of the wooden i cottage. He knocked at the door; he opened j it :he entered. A man was sitting writing m front of a bureau; he turned his head to j i regard his visitor. Recognizing the unex-' j pected guest who came to interrupt his cor- [ responjdeiice, he said, before the other could cross the threshold: “Ah! that’s you, Dupont. We will have a little hit of a fence.” “By all means; with all my heart,” said Dupont to Fournier, who chanced to be the occupant of the chalet. And they set to work, chatting between the passes. “I thought you were employed in the in- ! terior!” said Fournier. “The Minister has put me into the fourth corps.” “Really! What a curious coincidence! j I command the cavalry there. And you are only just arrived!” “I got out of the carriage only fivo min* utes ago.” “And your first thoughts were devoted to ! me. How very kind!” At last Genera! Dupont’s sword, after traversing General Fournier’s thrust, struck the wall. “Hacredie!” shouted Fournier. “You did not expect that!” 1 Yes I did. Direct Ir I left .my guard I I saw I was caught. Bu'f ’tis you who don’t j expect what is going to^happen.” During this little dialogue one of the ;

[speakers played the parti of naturalist, the other the part of butterfly. I “Well, let us see whaft is likelj to hap- [ pen.'” J. ’ ‘■ : t « I j "1 he moment you stir I shall gjive you a , thrust in the belly You are a dead man.” “I will ward your thrust.” | “Impossible.” i “I won’t stjir my sword an inch. I will ; keep you pinned till you throw down vour sword,” “Do you know this is a very disagreeable position!” said Fournier. ; For you especially. Throw clown your !sA T ord and I will allow you to quit it.” i “No; 1 intend to kill you.” ' Fortunately, the noise which the two Generals made was heard by the officers, who came and seperated the combatants. ' Dupont, the more reasonable of the two, now and then thought of the absurdity of a j quarrel which still went, on after so'many struggles, -and asked himself whether he [should not be doing right in killing FourI nier, to make an end ojf the matter, liesides that, he was going to get married. One morning he called on Faurnier. [ “Are you come to fix a day for a match!” inquired the latter, on seeing him enter. “Perhaps I am, but first of all, let. us talk a little. Listen to this: I intend to get [married, and before I enter the serious state jof matrimony I should Ike to have done with vine” “Oh! oil!” Our quarrel has now lasted for nineteen years. Ido not«wish tcJ continue a style of sispl which my wife might consider not exj actly comfortable, and, itherefore, in virtue j of the fo’Jrth article of our treaty, I am come To propose a change in tJlie n ode of combat, land so have a final meeting, the result of [ which shall be decisive. We will fight with j pistols.” “You don t think of such a tiling!” cried [Fournier, in astonishment. I “I know that is your[strong point; but to j equal the chances, we will do this, if you j like. One oi my Iriends lias at Neuillv an nclosure', planted with trees, and completc- >’ surrounded with walls; there are two [ doors to it, one at each tend. On a day and | an hour to he agreed upon, we will go to the I enclosure separately, armed with our two | holster pistols, ready loaded, to take a sin- | gle shot with each. We will try which can ; And the other, and whoever catches fight of the other shall fire.” “That’s a droll idea.” | “Does it suit you!” “leu o clock on Thursday inor.iiing—■ ill ■ flint do!” “That’s it; agreed. Adieu till Thursday.” The hour and the d.-y determined pn, they were punctual at their rendezvous. ’As soon as they were inside tltp enclosure the two antagonists sought each other cautiously.. [ stopping to listen at every step. They ail- \ tinbed slowly, with their cocked pistols in 1 their hands, eye on the watch and ear allatI tention. At the turn <.t an alley they perj ceiv ed each other; by h rupi ! mol ion-they threw themseives behind the trunks of a ! couple of trees; in tliiis position ; :,,. v remained for a considernbllc time "when Dupont j resolved to net. At first lie'gently waved i j the tail ol his coat just outside the tree which I protected him; he then protruded half the I thickness of the fleshy part of his arm, draw- ; ing it back again instantly. It was lucky [ for him that ho did for nfterj \ vn . r fl il bullet sent a large piece of bark ; flying. Fournier had lost a-shot. | fn the course of a few minutes Dupont j re-commenced the same maneuver on the j opposite side of tlie tree-trunk, and he, em- | bellished his original idea by showing the t.ip of his pistol barrel,:as if be in turn were watching for an opportunity to fire. Holding bis hat in his right, hand, he displayed it as far as the rink In a twinkling tlie hat was blown away; fortunately there was no head m it. Fournier, therefore, hud wasted his second bullet. Dupont then sallied from his fortress and marched up to his adversary, who awaited liiai in the attitude of a brave man for whom there no further hope. \Vhon Dupont was within a couple of paces of his enemy he said: “1 can kill you il I like; it is my right and my privilege; but I cannot lire at a human creature in cold blood; I spare your life.” “As you please.” “I spare it to-day, you understand clearly; but. 1 remain the master of my own property, of which I allow you tlie provisional en- j joyment. But if you ever give me any trouble, if ever vim try to pick a quarrel with me, I shall take the liberty ©Ujattnhiding you that 1 am the lawful owner of a couple of bullets especially destined to he lodged in your _sku-ll; rind we will resume the alTair exactly where 1 think proper to leave it to-day So ended a duel whiich began in 179 1 and only finished in 1813.
