He bade'fm Lonlship a good morning, and hoped they had not waited for them' long ; then pulling out his watc.b, said, h had hit it to a point ; ad ding, at the same time, that he had rather die than bre ik his promise on such occasion. His Worship returned the expression with this addition, that thoush tnev I wantedSa little, there was sufficient time left to des patch the business they were upon. To which his Grace replied, the sooner it is despatched the more leisure there will be behind. In the interim the seconds were paring their swords, and each one loaded hi9 adversary's pistols, Thethen agreed to the fallowing terras, viz. Sf; 1st.

Theyb.nh dis charged again, when, his lordship received a slight wound in his arm, on which they ina antJy drew ihrir s Words, and! impetu ously charged each ithT, r.itherj eich of them medtatirg Jhe death ofis- adversa ry, than his own safety. In the first or se cond thrust Lord B i ntanglil the toe of his pnmpib a tuft of grass, and,uj evading a push Troui 1 his antjignist. fell oojliis right side; but supporting himself with the sword h an d -by o c o n ce 1 v b ' e I e k t e r i ty1, s p r u n g sprung backwards, and eraded the push apparently aimed At his j)eart !A tittle pause intervening here, his gract-M second proposed to his lore!s!tip a reconciliation, but theardent thirsf after each other's blood so overpowered the strongest arguments l reason, that they insisted to executed each Other' will; whatever tnigtit be the conse quence. N v, the anger, of his grace was raised to sucVa high pirch of revenge, thai he, in that cri$ic l motnent swore, if for th future either of the seconds interposed, he would make his way through his bod v. Thus, after finding, all' "remonstrances f saying them without elfec t, they retired to their, limited 'distanc. and perhans one of the most xtrabfdtriary duels ensued that the records of history cm produce, fairJy oispurea nand to hand. i,he 'parrying after inisiriif-rtai brought on a c!oe l.ck, wh ch Monsieur l)"s IWreaux says, nothiog but the key of the btxly can, open ; in this po sition they stood fr, 1 dare say, a minute, Striving to disengage from each other by Successive wrenched ; in one of which his grace's sword point got entangled in Q? guard of his lordship'., . wlnchf m fact, his lordship overlooked ; so that ,'ihisf disad vantage was recovered by hi grace, before the -consequence- which itf migot have brought on vias executed.

' ' aW . would consent to part, until by the greater loss of blood which his lordship j sustained in being first woundelle fell down sense less, but in such a position that he drew hTs sword out of hi grace? body; but recover ing himself a little -before he tvas quite down, faulfered forward, and falling wiih his thigh acmss his sword, snapped it in Mie mtanie. his grace observing that he was no'longercapable of defence, orsenble of danger, immediately broke his own, and fell on his body with the deepest signs of concern, and : both jexpired before any ii-Msiniiue v"uiy Dei got, though Dr. Fountain had orders from his grace not to be be out of the way in case he should bp called opon that morning. Thus fell these two gallant mn,; whose personal braverv history can lordly equal, and whise honor miming out sucn ,a cause could stain. This anecdote was signed R. Deerhurst, wno u is presumed, was his Grace's second. P. S. In the ab ve manuscript, several passages are quite defaced, especially the reign anu year, winch I could make no thing of, at least reconcilable to historv. The language I have modernised partly, throuoh the whole, for' the better Derusal of my srj, but the seven last lines are not one f them legible, though-! believe them to contain reasons why the unhappy affair never got into nisinrv State of North-Carolina.
