London, March 19. A motion will soon be made, we hear, in a
certain assembly, at the instigation of a Great Personage,
for regulating duels, as follows: that every duel be fought
with swords only, on the stage of one of the Theatres, and
that any one may be admitted to see them, paying the price
that is now paid at the oratorios at Drury-Lane: the money
arising from this kind of entertainment to be applied in
such charitable uses as may be agreed upon in the above
assembly: and that duelists who do not conform to this
regulation, shall suffer death or banishment, as well as
confiscation of their estates.
