The Bottle Duels. M. Gsillnrdet writes to the Courricr dcs Etnts Uni?. a detailed statement of the unfortunate quarrel which Mr. Soule, our nrnbnssador to Madrid, and hia aon, have had with the French miniaterat the anme Court, and the Duke of Alha, a near relative to the French Empreaa. M. Gaillurdet's feelings are not on the aide of Mr. Soule, but his account sufficiently establishes the fact that the provocation came from the other side. The history of the quarrel seems to hnve commenced even before Mr. Soule reached Mndrid. From tho time of the receptions of Mr. Soule as American Minister, began to be agitated, M. de Turgot, the French ambassador, and Madame deMontijo. mother of tho Duchess of Alba, showed little friendship for Mr. Sonle. Madame de Montijo is accused of having intrigued to induce Queen Tsnbella not to receive him. Thus matters stood until the occasion of a fete, or grand ball, given by the French Minister in honor of tho birth-dav of the Empress. All the foreign diplomatic corps were invited, and ns a consequence, M. Soule, his son, who is also Secretary of legation, and Mrs. Soule were present by invitation. xr__ 0...-1 - ~ t - i'iio. nuuir, ? no is a nnnnsome woman, was 1 dressed richly, but tastefully dressed, and a ' Madrid paper states that she was quaen of ' the ball, and her entrance produced n " sen- 1 nation " To destroy the favorable impros- i 1 sion Madamo Sonle had tnnde, a spirit of 1 hostilo criticism was manifested hv a coterie. ' led on by M. de Turgot and Madame de ' Montijo. The Duke of Alba consenting to ' become the echo of the coterie, remarked as ' Mrs. Sonle passed by?"There goes Mary ' of Burgundy." Yonnp Soule. beinp close bv, heard the remark and immediately resented the odious outrnpe upon bis mother, and applied an epithet of contempt to the Duke. ' The parties were then separated, but next morninp younp Soule sent to the duke demanding an explanation of the insult to his mother. The duke explained and apolopis- , od. and those acting under younp Soule de% elared themselves satisfied. Hut the public . applauded the spirit of "la jenne Yankee ;** 1 and the duke was twitted on his lack of the 1 old pride of his family. The quarrel was ! rc-opened. and the duke sent a challenge to 1 retrieve his damaged honor. It was accepted, and the preliminaries being arranged, a ' duel with swords was fought. The fight lasted twenty minutes, both parties showing '. equal skill nnd courage. Tho seconds in- . terfcred, and declared that the honor of nei- j ther required fuither defence, and the prin- ^ cipals shook hands and parted. Mr Soule. sen., however, considered it proper for him to represent to M. do Tnr- 1 got, that his wife had been insulted in his. tho embassador's Salons, on an occnsion upon wh'ch the Duke of Alba was the most honored guest, and the person from whom , the insult came: that the affair had forced , the sword into his son's hands: that he had , been informed M. de Turgot was an instigator of the insulting remark : nnd, eonse- , aiipntlv. At i*- "! -?-?" */* ? UlKv,fc ,,4,u "uv uim-unrm'U | j his duty ns n host, in exonerating himself | from any sympathy with the insult, he wns , obliged to demand personal satisfaction. To i ( Mr. Soule's communication, M. de Turgot . replied, denying that ho instigated the insult , but refused to give nnv satisfaction for its j occurrence at his fete. Mr. Soulo porsisted | in his demand for reparation, when the ( French embassador said he would make his ( reply nt the pistol's mouth. I A meeting was arranged?I.ord Howden | and General Collier acting as seconds to M. de Turgot, and General Valdez (an old governor of Cub a) and M. Renito Alejo do Gaminde, ex-member of the Spanish Cortes, as Mr. Soule's seconds. It is proper to statu that Mr. Soul* signed his letter to M. de Turgot, M Pierre Soulo, Citizen of the United States," and not with his official rank ; thus separating the private individual from the | public officer. Time was given to the prin- j cipnls to arrange their affairs: but ? h'ing hinted tt.nt the Spanish Government iutcn- i ded to interfere to prevent the duel, I>ord j Howden waited upon Mr. Soulc, nnd urged | him to consent to an earlier meeting. Mr. Soule replied that the change of nrrange- | ments was inconvenient, but ho did not wish to forego the satisfaction whieh was his right, and therefore yielded. The meeting was then fixed for twelve M the next dav. but, on reaching the ground, new difficulties arose. Mr. Soule's seconds demanded, in his name, that the combat bo with pistols, nt ten pices The Marquis do Turgot deinurrid, and proposed a distance ?f forty paces! " Is that. Monsieur lo Marquis," said Mr Soule, M what vou call replying to me at the pithWs mnu/h f" But the Marquis persisted in his desire to bring down his antagonist M at a long shot." The first fire wns ineffectual. At the sec nnd. Mr. Soule's bullet hit the Marquis in the thigh. I ?... " v... ? s.i i e n ?. arms of one of Mr. Smile's second*. The ' wound is said to he serious. A reooneiliation had not heen effected ?t last advices. ' Much sympathy had heen m inifeated for Madame Soule throughout the unfortunate sAuir, nnd in European circles, in which duelling is not considered a crime, opinion sua- , tains the conduct of Mr. Soule an l his son.
