A few days ago, two grisettes of the Quartier Latin,

Paris, after exchanging blows for an inconstant student, decided upon an appeal to

the laws of honour. The fair belligerents fought with pistols ; and Were attended to the ground, in the neighbourhood of the quarries of Idontrouge,.by two dressmakers. After the exchange of two shots, happily without effect, the seconds declared that honour was fully satisfied ; but the feminine combatants, though obliged to submit to the fiat, quitted the ground unreconciled !

_A few nights ago, an attack was made upon P house on the Place du Trone at Paris, inhabited by the Baroness*-31—, whose husband was absent on business. Two men introdueed themselves into the garden, while a third stationed himself on ale wall next the Rue de Picpus, iii order to keep watch during the operations of his comrades. The Baroness being aroused from her sleep by the noise made in the garden, rose softly and went to the window, which she gently opened ; Ind intim* saw three men attempting to effect • forcible entry into • • Why 'mainsail the Ffrst? these has not yet been a Second. room on the ground floor. With peat courage and presence of mind, the lady seized a pair of loaded pistols belonging to her husband, and fired both simultaneously at the robbers, who returned the fire front the garden ; a ball from one of their pistols passing through the window, and lodging in the ceiling of the apart- ment, immediately above the Baroness's head. The alarm has'.. ing been given, the servants of the house rushed into the garden in pursuit of the three malefactors; who, however, succeeded in making their escape. The next morning, the Baroness made her declaration to the judicial authorities ; who immediately ordered measures to be taken for the protection of her person and property, especially as two similar attacks had, at a short interval between each other, been made upon her house subsequently to the latter end of June. On both of these former occasions, the Baroness had acted with the same resolu- tion displayed by her on the last-mentioned attack ; firing in both eases upon the robbers, one of whom a she had on the second attempt severely wounded.— Galignani's Messenger.
