character.—.Fr omfuch correspondence
you collect your information refpeding
characters. I have good authority for
Rating, that in one of these letters to a
friend in Connecticut, you expressed a
regret that there was not a Single repub-'
lican representative in Congress from
that Rate, from whom you could ob
tain a knowledge of the proper charac
ters to fill the offices of government.—-
Os course, I suppose, you resorted to
private farces. —Thefefarcesaxe known,
and three or four of the gentlemen re
publicans in that Rate, boast that they
have the guardianship of your will, arid
the difpotal of offices. To what a state
of degradation has the government fal
len ! Three orfour private perfons,fome
of them of infamous character, dictating
appointments to the most important
offices, and directing the Executive of
the United States in the mode ofhum
bling the good & the worthy; to make way
for men without talenrsor refpe&ability.
Not a republican member fromCon
nedicut' How will the blood of the
humble farmers and mechanics of that
Rate, whole daily toil procures them 4
bread, boil with indignation at this Pre
sidential reflection on their choice of re
presentatives 1 And with what supreme
contempt will the delegates themselves
smile at the imputation on their can
dor and veracity ! No confidence is to
be placed in the gentlemen who have
the confidence of that refpeftable state ;
but private sources of information are
fought among lawyers and profligates !
From tbe Neu-York Elenina foft.
Acorrect &f candid Statement of falls,rela
tive to the late unfortundteDuel atN. York..
THE friends.of young Sir. Hamilton sin
cerely regret that the unfortunate affair, which
terminated his life, (bould have become matter
of newspaper difeuffion. But since it has so hap
pened, they feel it to be due to his memory, that
a correft statement of faSs should Vindicate him
from more blame than is imputable to him, and
should (how that the catastrophe which ensued,
might probably have been avoided,if, in the sub
sequent stages of the tranfadtion, the modera
tion, as well of Mr. H. as of his friends, had
been favorably met. Under this impression
they proceed to submit to the public such state
ment, formed from the details of parties inti
mately conneded with the whole affair.
On the evening of Friday, the 20th inst. at
the Theatre, Mr. Hamilton & another young
fyntlemen, Mr. P , went into a box where
Mr. Eacker was, and entered into conversation
together,calling pointed ridicule upon an oration
delivered by Mr. Eackeh, on the Fourth of
July last, and afterwards printed. The relative
Situation was such that it is believed that those
gentlemen were not unwill&g their observa
tions should be overheard by Mr. E. Accor
dingly he did hear them, and in consequence left
his feat and called Mr. H. out of the box into
the lobby: Mr. P. went out also. Mr. E.
Seized Mr. H. by the collar and exclaimed—
"l will not be insulted by a set of rafcals."—
Mr. H. and Mr. P. severally demanded an ex
planation to whom he applied the epithet : no
positive reply was themmade. The parties, on
the proposition es Mr. H. adjourned to a tavern
—there the demand for explanation, as to the
term rascals, was renewed. After some inter
mediate altercation, Mr. E. avowed his meaning
to be that Mr. H. and Mr. P. were both "Ras
cals." The disputants fhortfy after separated ;
Mr. E. declaring as they parted," that he should
expert to hear from them, and that if he did not,
he should treat them as blackguards," and they
assured him, that he should not be disappointed.
Mr. P. immediately fehc an invitation to Mr.
E. to meet him, which was accepted.
Mr. H. about 10 o'clock the fame night,
called an Mr. D. S. Jones, to communicate
what had happened, and consult as to the steps
proper to be taken. After he had detailed the
tranfi&ion (in substance as above Rated) Mr. J.
declared his extreme reluctance to take part in
the affair, and his absolute determination not to
do it until he had consulted Mr. H's near rela
tion, Capt. Church, in concert with whom he
would consent to engage in it. Mr.H. assent
ed to this condition. Accordingly Mr. J called
on Capt. C. gave him the information he had
received, and conversed with him, as to the
measures proper to be pursued. They united in
opinion, that the retaliation of Mr. E. had been
of so violent a nature as to render it impossible
for Mr. H. to decline taking further notice of it ;
but that, considering all circumstances, and more
particularly that the firft offence was given by
Mr. H. it would be fit that the firft step to be
taken should be such as to, leave an opening for
accommodation, with a view to which it was
agreed that the message to be sent to Mr. E.
Should be “ to require some explanation of the of
fenfive expressions which he had used that night
to Mr. H." This message, with the approba
tion of Mr. H. was delivered to Mr. E. about
half past eleven the fame night in the presence
of Mr. Lawrence. Mr. E. replied that he had
already received a message from Mr. P. and was
engaged to him—that after attending to this
engagement, Mr. J. should be informed when
he might repeat his call. Some incidental con
versation ensued, in the course of which Mr. E.
asked whether he was to confider that commu
nication as a dired challenge ? Mr. J. answered,
certainly not; for such milages effectually (hut
the door to every thing like negociation.
Things remained in this situation until Sun
day, between one and two o'clock, when having
heard that the expelled meeting with Mr. P.
had taken place ; Mr. Jones, called upon Mr.
Lawrence (who had accompanied Mr. E.) to
learn the result—At this interview, Mr. L, in
timated to Mr. Jones, and the intimation was
afterwards confirmed by Mr. E. (who had then
joined those gentlemen) that Mr. E. intended
to write a note to Mr. J. to inform him that he
was then at leisure to receive any communica
tion from Mr. H. After receiving this intima
tion, capt. C. and Mr. J. again met— much
' conversation took place beeween them about the
defireablenefs of an accommodation, which they
both ardently wifhed,they agreed that the attempt
to effect it mould be made; and that, with this
view, the firft thing tobe done should be to endea
vor to prevent.the fending of the prothifed note,
as its contents, might, perhaps incrcafe the ob
fiacles to a pacific adjuument. Having arrang
ded the plan of proceeding, to avert if poffiblc,
the necessity of going to extremities: Mr. J.
waited on Mr.L and informed him of the withes
of capt. Church and himfelf, to have the fending
of the note postponed, as he had overtures to
make as to the accommodation ^ the difeuffion
es which might be more difficult after its re- .
I ception, than in that stage of the affair. Mr.L.
acceded to the juftuefs of this remark,and read
ily promised to take measures, for effecting the
poftpoaement. Mr. J. then repeated to Mr. L.
the earned wi(h of capt. Church and himfelf,
for an accommodation; and added, that altW
they a&ed in that reaped without the knowl
edge or consent of Mr. H. yet, that they would
pledge themselves for his performance of an,
engagement, which they might enter on his be
half; that the extreme youth of Mr. H. would
excuse Mr. E. for not pursuing so pundilious a
course with him, as would be necessary with
a person of riper age;' that as Mr. E. had al
ready met Mr. P. for the fame cause of contro
, verify, he might the more easily, and without
danger of any imputation on his honor, meet
our wi(hes for accommodation—and that the
relative situation of the two gentlemen, with
, j regard to political opinions and connections, af
ford a strong additional motive for moderation,
left an hostile issue might be referred to a spirit
of party, which it was to be presumed could pot™
be agreeable to Mr. E. ur. Jones detired Mr. L.
to repeat this conveafation to Mr. E. and to im
press these ideas upon his mind, as forcible as he
could, and then to offer this as the basis of ac
- commodation; that Mr. E. should disavow the
application of rafeal to the general conduct and
character of Mr. H. or in some way apologife
for the insult of haying called him so; this be
ing done, they would procure from Mr. H. a
, proper apology for his conduct at the Theatre,
upon their receiving affuranecs that it would be
followed by a competent apology on the part of
Mr. E.(or his subsequent conduct and expressions.
Mr. L. who entered readily into the negociation,
and appeared sincere in his wishes for its success,
then parted from Mr. J. for the purpose of ma
king this communication to Mr. E. about 3
o'clock in the afternoon returned to Mr. J. and
told him, that he had the proposed conversation
with Mr, E. who had not acceded to the propo
sition which Mr. J. had requeued Mr.L to make;
and also, that Mr. E had not authorifed him to
make any overtures towards an accommodation,
but left Mr. Jones with this remark, “ in truth,
Jones, from mr. E's present disposition of mind,
I am persuaded there are very feeble, if any hopes
of an accommodation."—lt is proper to add, that
mr. L. observed to Mr. J. in the course of, the
conversation, that Mr. E. appeared more irritated
against Mr. H. than against Mr. P. as he con
fidered,Mr H. the principal in the affair.
Mr. J. now considered the attempt at nego
ciation completely defeated, and remained at
home in expectation of receiving the communi
cation from Mr. E. ; this was received about
half after five in the afternoon.
Shortly after the firft message, or the part of
Mr. H. was repeated to Mr. E.—in substance
" requiring an explanation of the expressions übicb
be bad made use of to Mr. H. at the Theatre on
Friday night." The bearer of this message observ
ed, that perhaps it had come in a Ihape which was
somewhat unexpected, and Mr. E. might there
fore with to consult his friends previous
ly to giving his answer—is so, he, the bearer,
would retire for a foort time, and either return
or remain at home for the anfwer.'MtvEack
cr adopted ,the idea, and appointed 15 minutes
for the return of the bearer. At the expiration
of that time he came back. Mr. E. firft under
took to deliver his Answer verbally, but after
some hesitation and embarrassment of expression,
he drew from his pocket a paper from which he
read it—it was to this effed, “ the expressions I
made use of towards Mr. Hamilton at tie Theatre
on Friday night lift, were produced by bis conduct
on that occajion ; I thought them applicable then,
AND I THINK SO STILL."
The bearer of the message, conceiving this reply
to be a reiteration of the offence, rendered partic
ularly emphatical by what had intervened, and
that any farther effort to accommodate,was not
only hopclefs but would have been dilhonoura
bla to Mr. H —felt himfelf bound by the pos
ture of the affair, and by his previous arrange
ment with Mr. H. to declare to Mr. E. that
such being the answer, he was inftruCled to re
quest a meeting ; and that since things had
come to this issue, though he was unwilling to
urge haste, yet, as the numerous relations and
friends of Mr. H. would be made extremely un
happy'lhould they obtain a knowledge of the
tranfadion before hand, it was desirable that
the interview should take place without delay.
In consequence arrangements were shortly after
made for a meeting the next day.
In the mean time Mr. H. still reflecting that
in the origin of the controversy, the blame lay
with him, averse in principle to the (bedding of
blood in private combat, anxious to repair his
original fault, as far as he was able without dis
honor, and to stand acquitted to his own mind,
came to the determination to reserve his fire,
receive that of his antagonist, and then dif
,charge his pistol so the air. This determination
was communicated to his friend, who was in
flru&ed to avow the motive of this forbearance
after Mr. H. should have thrown away his fire,
and to submit to Mr. E. to decide for himfelf
what was then to be done on his part, and
whether he would Aill proceed in the affair ;
with the intention, on the part of Mr. H. to let
it end there, if Mr. E. should then fee fit to'
make a suitable reparation for the violent effects
of his resentment.
Unhappily the firft fire of Mr. E. took effed,
and by mortally wounding Mr. H. defeated the
execution of this generous intention. In the
shock of the wound his pistol went off in the air;
evidently without a deviation from the original
resolution, which was speedily after declared by
bis friend on the ground.
It is a small tribute due to the memory of
this estimable but unfortunate young man, to
fay, that the witnesses to this fatal feene teftify
the display of a Ready resolution on his part,
which evinced, the moR deliberate courage.—
His confidential friends declare that throughout
the progress of the affair, subsequent to
the firft error, his behaviour was remarkably
temperate, and that he possessed himfelf perfect
ly, His manner on the ground was calm and
composed beyond expression. The idea of his
own danger seemed to be loft in the anticipation
of the fatisfa&ion which he might receive from
the final triumph of his generous moderation.—
While lying in the arms of his friend, in all the
torture of the firft cffe&s of so severe a wound,
he kindly urged the second of his adversary to
withdraw from danger—forgetting his own
situation in the concern for the fafety of others.
He received his wound about three o'clock,
and langailhed till five the nett morning in the
full poffeflion of his faculties, supporting the
pain of his situation with the utmost fortitude,
without a murmur or a reproach—soothing oc
cafionly his afflicted parents, and piously refigued
to the event. —o—■

BALTIMORE, DEC. I.
Extrall of a letter from a Merchant in Alexandria,
to a very reftedable commercial baufe in this city,
dated 2&b November, 1801.
A fall failing Ichooner just came up,
palled the brig Neptune, Capt. Cole
man, 50 miles below, di^d from Lis
bon, who reports that SPAIN had DE
CLARED WAR against the UNIT
ED STA FES of America."
[While we doubt the above, there is
still some reason to believe it may be
true. In faft, Spain has for some time
been carrying on a piratical warfare,
and two millions almost of American
property are now lying at the mercy
, of the captors and the worms in the
single port of Algefiras. That the is
at war with us there is no doubt—but
that Ihe has openly declared it, we dis
believe ; because France is at the bot
tom of it, and it is not confident with
her policy to declare war against nations
before ihe has well pillaged them.
[The Felucca, arrived at Havannah,
left Spain about the 15th of October,
and as nothing of this kind has trans
pired by her, it is fair to conclude that
they don't intend to go to war with us,
if they can rob us without.]

that although the late European peace
by affeding our carrying trade may
tend to depreciate the value of the com

long as our present commercial advan

may be presumed, that firft rate mer
