They can not find wards to express the estimation in which he was held, and their afilidion at the blow which their country has received. 'Po you he was pecu liarly endeared ; and with the national loss, you have to bewail the removal of one whom you ten derly loved, and whose hfe was import tat to the wcliare and comfort of yourself and your rising fa mily. Your own good sense and piety will suggest the scan ces from which consolation is to be derived, and teach you the duty of bowing•with submission to the , overeign and mysterious will of Heaven. They whose own hearts are overwhe:med are ill eitalift d to soothe the griefs of another. But if there be any consolation in sympathy, its a mixture of tew , , and in the unison of a common lamenta tina, few ever had these in so high a degree as yourself. Providence seems to have singleCout him whose fall wonid produce the greatest public consternation and woe. Let it be !aid, then, with tenderness, th.tt the citizens of the U. S. however largely they participated in your distress, andthongh every thing which respcits the unparalleled mart deceased must be for ever dear to them, yet they weep most of-all for their country. the te.,timoity [shish your beloved partner has left in writing against the pra.:tice of duelling, the anhorrence of it, which be manifested in his last moments, his bitter regret that he had been led into the field, thou,:h wick the determination not to shed blood, and his op_eprolessioa of the christian re liginn, have adtlN a lustre to his chars her, And csown..d his splendid talents and his extensive ser vices with iuunertal Imam. You need not be reminded that you are tinif-r mote obligatioos than ever to attend to the preser vation of your Install and life. A weighty charge is committed ta you. The society recommend you to the Div'ne care and protedion ; and are, Dear Madam, with the highest reaped and affection, your sympathising friends. (.iiveri by order of the Society.) comm . 7.

The latest accounts frlnt Syria do not sore that any thing further has. occurred in that distraded country. We find from the N:w York Papers. a regula series of which, from the 30th July to 11. - " Amvst, we received yesterday, that the Corm', quest nista the body of the late General He tILTL . have brought in a verdia of murder ag unit AAR Dv all, Esc'. Vice-President of the United States ; and apinst Wt 1.1.1A1l P. V. Nuss, Esq. attorney-at-law, and I\AIHANICL PENDLETON, Esq. counsellor-at law, as accessaries to the said murder. It is also stated that Mr. BURR has been mticked with a dropsy in the head, and was laying extremely ill near Philadelphia. The Aro:lieu Papers still con tinue to be filled with writings opesn this unfortu nate event, to the exclusion of almost all other matter. The vigilance of the Cambrisi frigate, in the hat bout of Now Yolk, is complained of by the inhabitants of that city, as produaive of much inconvenience to neutral commerce. Mr. NIONIIOI is said to be ap pointed Governor of Louisiana. The interesting new: from the Continent, given e.el:pirey in this paper yesterday, ss is appear in all t! other 'morning pti.l:s this day. Our . übjcet, I.oa-ever, in mentionin-; this circumstance, is nn; to boast the clecitleti pt icy :.ty of intelligence which distinguishes this paper, but to gdard the public against an elmr into which they might be otherwise betrayed. Some of the eve.iitig papers, in copy ing articles from the morring prints, are too apt to represent than to the world as their own origii.al inf„tmation, anti to quote with couSdence forcigu prints, which are not in their possession. One of these of last ni L ht states, that the small Paris pa pers up to the id, which we co-/striec.:. asS4.st , WCIC oats cue day later than tho;e previous' y received; and that the departuic ..f the RUSSLL 1 legation from Paris on the :;oth, was only the contirmatirn of a former accipst.t to that elf..a. St.me Mtn/. Ica, to the Itt, %.e were previously ; lett we c.iti assure ear re:ufers, that the 5.na1l Paris ptptrr., by muc% Cie tilt iittctetur.g, was consitler.,:tly is arrcar ; anJ, that 'the Aurnal des Debats, of the 4n, from whiei we copied it, was the first paper that announced the departure of the Russian Legation from Paris. Many specelations, no doubt, had 'been hazarded *jam the great probability of the event; but we re peat, that the account in the .I.Ei,xet! rft s Debet, was the first real infiwmation of the fit. This puny attempt of the print in question, to detraa Gum tis merit of this ;war, is thi;m , ,re blame.i'ale, as it had the candour and modesty to give every line of our intelligence as its own, at the very moment it seas endeavouring to lessen its importance. 1 . 1 is an un pleasant, hot sometimes an unavoidable duty to no- tice cases of this sort ; and we hope we shall not have in future any such cause of complaint. Our cruisers in the German Sea have been in formed, that the French troops in Har.over have not only erefted batteries upon several parts of the co act of The Eleaorate, but on the banks of the rivers Weser and Elbe, together with fire signal posts; measures all indicatiag an apprehension of an attack either from England or Russia, or perhaps both. The master of a Danish vessel from Tonningen 'declared, that on Monday se'nnight he was at Schleswig Gothorp, the capital of Holstein, and that a courier from BONA P A RTC'S General, BERK ADOTTE, 1114 arrived in that city with dispatches for Prince CHARLES of Hesse, the Governor of Holstein, importing, that this• Duchy would be immediately occupied by the French army, should the Danish Government suff.r a single company of Russian solJiers to land there . He demanded, at the same time, whether the Governor thought himself strong enough, or had orders to oppose with fo-ce the attempt which Rus sia might make to debark troops in Holstein 1 He offered besiJes the French army under his command to make rommun cease with Denmark against foreign invaders. The Prince of Hasse sent immediately a Courier to his rm-in-law, the Crown Prince of Deism ARK, and requested instruitions. The same master added, that great agitation prevailed in Hui stein, and that many of the inhabitants sent away their most valuable effeas, under apprehension of a visit from the French, who are now in want of every thing in Hanover, having entirely exhausted that Eleitorate. A Court of Dire&ors was held yesterday at the Ea t.lndia House, which adjourned at an early hour, till Wedne.d.ty next, when tenders w 'aU be received for taking up India-built shipping, for the Ch;na commerce.

The gui-brigs had been closely watches! by the Doris anii frigates, and had attempted to make their escip?, but were prevented by the vigilance of the frigates. It has been immured that a Grand Council was held no Tuesday, at Wilmer Castle, at which Mr. Pm., Lords Mithvitta and KLITH, Sir SYDNEY SMI rH. Sir HOSIL POPHAM, and several other Naval and Military Officers, were present. ‘Vhilst some persons conjeaure that these deliberations have for their ohjcl an exp..dition against the armaments upon the French coast, others assert, with m ,re contidence, that they are fur the purpose of arrang ing a system of defence for the winter, when large ships will be unable to keep their station off the coast. A squadron of small vessels will, it is sup posed, be employed under the comaia.isl of Sir SIUNtIr SMITH and Sir HOYE POPHA x. The latter officer and Captain BLAKS i.inded at Darer on Monday evening, from a small ve.'el, which had accompanied the Monarch, and which, probably, took a run down the French coast; to survey and report the state of the enemy's preparations. The following err 'ordinary intelligence has been received from Balboa, lry a merchant of Liv:.rpis.!, in a letter dated- 4 &lima. August 1S: There exists a kind of revolution in the town of Dil l:nu; 9000 men are in arms, and have seized the CcossEolooll, and several Spanish Gendemen who hell plates under Government, and past then into prison ; to what extent tne matter may ha carried is uncertain, but as yet there has nut been any blo.rel shed." It would appear that the Cape of Good Hope is not in that defenceless st :te which some accounts have represented, as the French or Date!) li ire bteis able secietly to send out reinforcements. A Danish vessel has, according to the latest accounts Irmo India, ar.ived at Ca.cutta, which left the t ape on the Ist of Fein nary. At that time there were no ships id war at the Cape.
