The LATE SEaIous R REScoNTRE BETWEEN MzssRs
GRoUssEr AND EMERIcK IN BRoADwAY.-Various
rumors and statements having been made relative
TO the afiray which took place between Messrs.
Grousset and limerick, in Broadway, on Friday
last, which are entirely erroneous, we now give
the whole of the particulars relative to the cause
Of the quarrel, which we have obtained from
source that may be perfectly relied upon.
During last winter, Mr. limerick sent two chal-
lengrs to two individuals then residing in this city,
and in one OF them requested Mr.. Grousset TO act
as his friend in the matter, which that gentleman
consented to do, and endeavored, by all means
in his power, TO reconcile the parties without
having recourse to arms, but was not successful,
as nothing lessthan fighting would satisfy Mr.. Emc-
Limerick, When Mr. &. saw there was no other
means of settling the matter, he made preparations
accordingly, but was never able TO get Mr.. Eme-
rick on the ground TO meet the gentleman he
challenged. After several vain endeavor, he gave
up having any thing fnrther 10 do with the matter.
telling Mr.. limerick that for the future, he should
not have any communication with such a coward.
No further intercourse took place between the
parties until last spring, when they met on board
one OF the Boston boats, in which Mr.. limerick was
arrested, at the suit of Mr. A. Matthias, for libel
as security for the appearance OF Mr. Limerick to
answer the charge. From Boston they proceeded
to Liverpool together, but holding little or com.
munication with each other during the voyage





then ascertained that Mr.. Limerick object in visit
ing that country was to meet one of the gentlemen
he had challenged in this country the previous win
ter Mr. Grousset's object in going to France was
solely on business. Two or three days after their
arrival In Paris, Mr.. Gr0usset ved two or three
very insulting letters from Mr.. Emerck and after
wards challenge to fight, without any reasons
bein given for such line Of conduct, and Mr.
Crousset could only suppose it was on account of
his having some time before designated Mr.. Eme-
rick a coward however this was not stated Of
course Mr.. Grousset accepted the challange, and
sent two friends to make the necessary preliminary
arrangements, but upwards of two months elapsed
ere they could get Mr.. limerick 10 consent to
the place OF meeting, and other matters connect
meeting near Boulogne, where Mr.. Gronsset and
his friends repaired at the appointed time Soon
after carriage drove on the ground, in which
were seated Mr.. limerick and lady. All the
on such an occasion, and Mr. Limerick was repeat
edly requested to leave the carriage and proceed
little further to settle the affair." which he refused
to do: Mr.. limerick and his friends then consulted
together for some time, and eventually 1t was
agreed that he should make an apology, which was
accepted by Mr.. Grousset and his friends. Mr..
limerick then left the ground, without even alight-
ing from the carriage. IN company with the lady
Mr.. limerick proceeded to Marseilles, and
it so happened that Mr.. Grousset's business
led him to that neghborhood shortly after.
that Mr.. Limerick had reported. that he, Mr..
Grousset had refused to fight him and had made an
apology for his offensive expressions towards Mr..
Emerick, and throughout the whole affair had act
ed like great coward. Mr.. Grousset then pro-
cured number OF certificates frem several friends
who were Witnesses and knew the whole transac-
tion, which placed the matter in its true light, and
no further notice was then taken OF the affair. Mr..
Limerick returned to this country about two months
before Mr. Grousset and when the latter reached
here he found that Mr.. limerick had given out
similar report to that which he had circulated in
sI1-- n u
stating, "that the first time he ever met him, he
would inflict such chastisement Upon him as
only such coward as he deserved" They did not
meet, however, until last Thursday, when they
On such an occasion Mr.. Greusset, of course, took
no notice Of the past. On the following day Mr..
Grousset had to attend the Supreme Court as a
witness in the case Of Matthias against limerick

store in Broad street, when he met Mr.. limerick
near to Harnden's Express Office, Wall street, in

they proceeded together to the end of Wall street,
in very loud argument, and as they reached
the latter point, Mr., G. ousset spat in the face

at Mr.. Grousset, who Immediately fell upon one
knee but quickly regained his footing and seiz-

but just at the moment a ibystander seized Mr..
Emerick's arm and prevented the discharge, and
he was taken into custody. Mr.. Gr0usset then
crossed Broadway. but just he reached the foot
path IN front of Trinity Church, fell from the et-
