yesterday, and the Trioune published statement,


pparently authentic, that Augiste Belmont, ESQ.,
and Mr. Hayward have left the city for the pur-
pose of fighting duel. We are authorised from
the best authority 10 say that there Is not one word
OF truth in that statement II is pure fabrication
! from beginning 10 snd and we would advise the
Police Ga-ette TO be more careful in its statements,
and more accurate in It's facts reafter 1t is very
true there some kind of fracas between
the gentlemen in question at Burnham's some days
since. We understand that Hayward, who had
formerly an " affair" with Mr. Belmont, growing
out of some ridiculous thing, chose this occasion
10 behave IN a manner not very gentemany, and
after a single remark by Mr. Belmont on the subject,
he declared hs intention TO have any thing 10
do with that individual again.


Mr. Belmont is gentleman Of Ihe highest honor
and most correct principle, as is well known TO all
those who acquainted with him IN Wall street
or elsewhere. He occupies very important and
confidential position in this country as the agent OF
the Rothschilds in Europe. The only mistake he
ever committed was when he permitted himself TO
be in position 10 create any difficulty between
himself and the individual with whom he fought
duel With that single exception his conduct IN this
country has given satisfaction TO every man with
whom he is acquainted, both IN Europe and this
country, and il has been the farthest from his


thoughts ever TO have any other affair either with


that or any other individual We assure the public


there is not one word OF truth IN the statement
in the Police Gazette and Tribune.
