Due Clement de Clrella at Paris.
Paris, Nov. 11.—It was announced that Sir Robert Peel would fight a duel today with Due Clement de Cirella. It is understood that the quarrel was the outcome of an argument over the justification of the imprisonment of Capt. Dreyfuss of the French army, who is serving out a sentence of penal imprisonment for celling important military secrets to a foreign government. The duke, who considered himself insulted by certain letters from Sir Robert Peel, came specially from Geneva and f,ent his seconds, including the famous French amateur swordsman, M. TliomeKOUX. to call upon Peel. M. Thoincgeux recently had a so-called duel with swords with an Italian amateur, Sig. Casclla, which arose out of a dispute as to the starched shirt which the Count of Turin wore during his recent duel with Prince Henri of Orleans. • The representatives of Sir Robert Peel met the duke's seconds last evening- at the Cercle Artisque at Litteracy, a wellknown club iii the Rue Volney, and explained that Sir Robert had since learned that remarks ho had attributed to the duke had never been used and that lie, therefore, regretted his letters, which were based upon misstal'omcntfi, and tendered a full apology. The duke's secends thereupon declared the matter ended. ^
