A foreign Minister Challenged.

--It is stated that Mr. J. Watson Webb, the American Minister at Rio, recently sent a challenge to the English Minister at that place, in consequence of some hard words that passed between them at a private party. The English Minister, as soon as he received the challenge, went on board the British storeship for protection, and there remained at last accounts.
