      America . U . S . Law against Duelling .- —A BUI Iras passed its third reading In the Legislature of Alabama , to take effect from the 1 st

      day of March , which subjects the party engaged in a duel to three months" imprisonment , and a fine of 2000 dollars , one half to go to the Public Treasury , the other to the Informer . TheofFender

      ^ 4 late fatal Duel . —The details of the duel between Commodore Barron and Commodore Decatur are given at great length in the American papers . They fought at eight paces : both were wounded . A most extraordinary proceeding took

      place in the House of Representatives . Mr . Randolph proposed that the House should adjourn , to give the members an opportunity to attend the funeral of Commodore Decatur , and that they should wear crape round the left arm till the end of the Session . This motion was

      opposed by Mr . Taylor , of New York , who said he would resist it , as Commodore Decatur had died in the act of setting the laws of God and his country at defiance . The notice was withdrawn .

      FOREIGN . France . At present the advocates of the old regime seem to triumph in this eventful country . The liberty of the press is restricted , and what remains is held on sufferance , and is exercised with a sword over the head of the writer . The following is the conclusion of a letter just received from Paris :

      " The < Protestant Annals have ceased till better times . One cannot be liberal and tolerant bu permission and privilege " .

      Hanovjer . The Hanoverian journals contain the following statement : — ' * We hear that , in the present Session of the Assembly of States , it will be proposed to abolish tithes , or at least to substitute for them a tax of another kind . The advantages

      arising from this measure could not fail to have a great influence on the agricultural prosperity of our kingdom ; for it is , in fact , almost wholly an agricultural country , the manufactures being in comparison insignificant ; and as there is a great extent of heath and waste land , which no one has yet ventured to

      cultivate , because of the great expense which such an enterprise would require , ( the tithes and land-tax must be added , ) the abolition of these imposts will much facilitate undertakings of this nature , and the Diet will merit the gratitude of the country if they carry this plan into execution .
