We hear from Hispaniola, that the French doctor who was
tried here for his life, last May grand court, the murder of
Mr. Roberts and acquitted, had a quarrel with M. Le Clair,
the musician, who was lately ordered to depart this island,
and a duel ensued, in which M. LeClair, was run through the
body and died on the spot.  The doctor is in confinement,
and not like to meet with such a fair trial as he met with
here.  It is said LeClair is the seventh man he has
murdered.
