A duel was fought at five paces distance on Fri
day afternoon in the State of Virginia, about half a
mile from this place on the southern road, bet'.veen
col. Lemuel Taylor and commodore Barney, both of
Baltimore. The first fire was without e Sect, which
produced nothing but a smile of indifference. The
second fire Mr. Taylor was wounded in the breasti
but is expected to recover. We are informed by
those who were on the ground, that botli gentlemen
exhibited uncommon firmness. It was their intention
to have fought in the neighborhood .of Washington,
bat the marshal havmg been "apprised of their in
tention, met them at Bladensburg, and' pursued
fliem on till they pjTed witliout his jurisdiction
The colonel remained a Tew hours in town to have
hbAvcufids dressed and then proceeded to Washing

We understand that when Mr. Imr; Taylor '
published his note containing' . an ininnuation against,
the honesty and courage, of Use Ilud&rastic secretary
of some two or three departments, he was requested
to recall it ; but having refused to do so, the note
was very properly, and very spiritedly returned to
him, . and no doubt is entertained that he felt the. re

It has been stated in some four papers, that
Mr. Oliver, who has succeeded to the command of
the British squadron off' Tfiew-Londbn, refused, on
the application of Com. Decatur,permission to transy
pert the bodies of Capt. Lawrence and Lieut. Iudlow
through the sound to New! York. We understand,
this is not the fact : that on the application being;
first made, there was a wan of some explicitness,
which Com. Decatur interpipeted as ra refusal j but
that when the object of ihe jreqifest wks fully under
stood, Capt Oliver wrote the Commodore a very po
lite letter, regretting any deflay which might have .
the business.
and granting in its fullest extent, the libuity requcsfr.
ation. and means to practise, on a-principle so expe
dient. .We would suggest an amendment to these
lines, as he has undertaken to revise and amend the.
works of Butler," which will be found more -immediately
applicable to his case. ' 1 .

at this time to republish a fev extracts from-!

of Mr. Madison, the famous Gen. puane.
These extracts are from the Aurora of

which the necessity oT Direcjt Taxcsi' to sup

The President utA jh? Senate"
In each of the instamces 6f ISIr. Russell
and Mr. Gallatin's nomination the Senate
appointed a committee ko confer with tlie
president, unquestionably for the purpose
of ascertaining more c; early its views re
lative thereto. These conferences,: it will
6e perceived, the premdent rejected, on
the ground that it wns losing sight of the
co-ordinate relation in which the execlttiv;;
and senatorial rancju s stooBi so far as
regarded the appointing power. In other
words theipresident thought it derogatory
to the chair of the chie-f niagisitracy, that, a
committee of the senate should be admit
ted into, his presence to hold debate upon
public concerns. For ourst-Ives we. should
tot be rejoiced to ses such instances be
coming frequent, Therd is no good rea
son, however, to believe that the president ; t
