Duel in Corsica.

--In Florence, Italy, a few days since, a Mr. Wilson, of New York, a bullying American, who had rendered himself unpopular by taking the side of the Austrians, walked into a cafe and insultingly stomped on the foot of Marquis Nicellini. A challenge followed, and the parties met on the French island of Corsica with swords, the Marquis getting slightly wounded in the hand. The American, on returning to Florence, was notified by the police to leave the city in 48 hours, which he did.
