Paris, May 1. The spiritual concert at the Thuilleries was
interrupted by a tragical event. An English who was in
company with some ladies in one of the boxes, where there
was a French officer, talked and sung, and made so much
noise, that the officer represented to him that it was
impossible to hear the concert, and receiving an insulting
answer, made a sign to him to walk out. As the officer was
going out of the box, the Englishman gave him a box on the
ear, in sight of the company; upon which the officer ran him
through the body and made his escape. . .
