These orders wero sworn by his superior officers, Captain Kidgway, and Lieut. Totten. To have been communicated t» Mr Barton; how they were obeyed, rather how they wero evaded and violated, cannot lad to be remembered. Un the 3d of November, quitting his post as officer of the deck, and affecting to assume a duty assigned to another, he proceeded to shore in the launch, en- countered his antagonist, Passed Mrdshipman Wood, in a duel, and was wounded in the leg, the ball from Mr Wood's pistol fr...acturing the bone be- low the knee. The fight was public, notoiious, almost ostentatious, in the presence of eight or ten of the boat's crew, and of at least twenty strangers. Assistant Surgeon Woodworth bandaged the limb while yet upon the field, and administering a stim- ulant wished to extract the ball without delay. Mr Barton, however, insisted on being taken in a sail boat on board the frigate Constitution, instead of going to the Shark, which he could have reached as readily, and to which ho belonged.
