The shocking catastrophe which has recently oc curred, terminating the life of Alexander Hamil ton, and which has spread a gloom over our city, that will not be speedily dissipated, demands that the circumstances which led to it, or were intimately corniefied with it, should not be concealed from the world. When they shall be truly And fairly dis closed, however some may que,tion the soundness of his judgment on this occasion, all must he ready to do just to the purity of his views, and the no bleness of his nature. It will only here ►e added, that the autheaticity of the documents, and the ac curacy of the information which we have at last ob tained, are beyond any cptestion ; and must put an end to all mistake and mi it-elan:sent:4'km. The following is the correspondence that passed between General Hamilton and Colonel 'Burr, to gether with an eimianttion of the cundue, motives, and views, of Generallton, written with his own hand the evening before tin meeting took place, and only to have been seen in the deplorable event that followed. No. I. SIR,. Nett York,..l.me 18, 1834 I send (or yonr perusal a letter signed Charles D Cooper, which, though app:rently publishe I v.me time ag.i, has but ten• rrc.•ntly come to my knowledge. Mr. Van Ness who door me the favour to deliver this, will point out to you that clause of the letter, to whi..7li I particularly request your attention. You must perceive, Sir, the neceriity of a prompt Anri un qualified acknowledgment or den.al of tht use of any copra sion which would warrant the assertions of Dr. Cooper. I have the honour to be Your obedient servant, General Hamilton. A 81.7R2. No. H. SIR, New York, June 20,18n4 I have maturely reflected on the subject r d your letter of the lath inst. and the inert I have reflected, the more 1 have be convinced, that 1 could not, without manifest impropriety, mak a the avowit nr disavowal which you seem to think litres airy. The clau.e pointed out by Mr. Van New is in these terms, I could detail to you a will more despicable opinion which liamiltrati has eapressed of Mr. Burr." 1) endeavinir to dircorer the meaning of this declaration, I was 01)14ed to seek in the antecedent part of this letter for the opinion to which it referred, as having been already disclosed: I tnund M in these words. " General Harni!ton, and Judre Kent, have declared in sub armee, that they lo.ilt.!cl upon Mr. Burr to he a dangerous man. and one who /ight not to be trwitest with the none of Governinent." The language of Dr. Cooper plainly implies, that he con • sidered thisopinion of you, which he an:Annie to me, as a despicable one; but he affirms, that I have expreosed some other still mon/despicable; without, however, mentioning to olioni, when, or where. It is evident that the phrase o still more despicable" aslrriin of infinite shad-4 from rely light to very dark. How am Ito judge of the degree intended ! or hoer si'all I snore any retitle idea to lauguage so indefinite ? itotween Gentlemen, delpicible and more despicable are not *oth the psis of a distinction; when, therefore, you do nut isiterromee roc, as to the wham which ie ape:eh:ally ascribed to me, I must conclude, that you view it, ac within the limits to which the animadversions of political opponents upon each Miser may lustifiably extend, and contivquently as not ss sirint iag the idea of it which Dr. Cooper appear• to entertain. If se, what recice inference could you draw, as a guide for your conduct, .were I to acknowledge that I had garnered an opinion of you toll more despicable than the one which is porticidar. hoot'. 11-/M could you be sure that even this opinion had cc cattle' the bounds which you would yourself deem admissible hetween political opponents! But I forto-ar further comment on the embarrassment, to which thr requisition you have made naturally leads. The tic. ration forbids a moor ample illustration, though nothing could h.! more easy than to pursue it. Repeating that I cannot reconcile it with propriety to make the acknowledgment or denial yon desire, I will aild that I de.on it inadmissible on principle, to consent to be interns. gated at to the justice of the inferences which may be drawn by <Athos from whatever I may have said of a political oppo netit iii the cows, of a fifteen year. If there were no other objection to it, this is stifficienr, that it would feud to eapom my sincerity anti tlehescy w ininrioiss imputa tions from every person, who may, at any titer, have conceived the import of my expression., differently from what 1 may then have intended, or may afterwaid, recollect. I stand ready to avow or disavow promptly a n d explicitly any precise or definite o:iiiiion which I may be rhacgoi with having declared of any t:entlernan. More than that c.ainot fitly be expeetiol from me ; and es e ecially it cannot be reasonably expo. ted that I shall enter into an explanation upon a basis se vague as that which you have adopted. I trust, on more reduction, you will see the matter 111 the same light with me. If nut, I can only regret the circumstance, and must abide the consequence*. oublitation of Dr. Cooper was never seen by me till after the receipt of your Letter. I have the Honour to be, &c. Coln iel Herr A. HAMILTON. _ No. 111. SIR, New York, inne 21,1804. Y.Ater Letter of the 10:is irutant has been this day r,ceired. !faring constden-d it attentively, I regret to find in it nothing af that sincerity And st•licacy which you pc to value. Political opposition can never stouts's Gelid...ten (torn the neces.ity of a rigid adherence to the laws of honour, and the rote. of decorum. I neither claim such pusdrge, nor • indu`ge et in others. _ The common sense of mankind affixes to the epithet adopt. ed by Dr. Cooper the idea of dishonour. It has been publicly applied to me under the moction of your name. The gyp tiun is not, whether he has understood the meaning of the word, or has used it according to Syntax, and with grammatical accuracy ; but, whether you have authwised this application, either directly, or by uttering expressions or °minims deroga tory to my honour. The t.me ss when" is in your know ledge, but no war msterial to rue, as the calumny has now fist been disclosed so a, to become the suttect of my notice, and as the effect is presroit palpable. Your letter has fern shed me with new r •ascas fur requiring a definite reply. I have the honour to ra, Sir, your obedient, General Hamilton. A. BURR. On Saturday, June 42, Gen. H. for the first time, called on Mr. P. and communicated to him the pro. ceding correspondence. He informed him, that in conversation with Mr. V. N. at the time of receiv ing the last letter, he mentioned it as rude and offensive, and that it was not possible fur him to give it any other answer, than that Mr. Burr must take such steps as he might think proper. He sued farther, that Mr. V. N. requested him to take time to deliberate, and then return an answer, when he might possibly entertain a different opinion, and that he would call to receive it. That his reply to Mr. V.
