ANDREW.
A reward of Thirty Dollars is offered to any person for apprehending and securing the said fel- low in a jail out of the state, so that I get him again— Twenty Dollars if secured in like manner within the district of Columbia, or at the distance of 40 miles from home, and Ten Dollars , with reasonable charges if brought home, or secured in the jail of Fairfax or Loudoun. Andrew ab- sconded on the night of the 7th instant; he is a bright Mulatt , about 27 years of age, rather low of stature, squat and thick made, broad shoul- ders, and short dark hair; has one or more scars on his back from a scald when young; wore when he went away, a ticklenburg shirt, a pair of nan- keen overalls, striped flik jacket, a hat and pair of old shoes, and of late wore suspenders; he is fond of liquor and much addicted to gaming for- ward and assuming, very artful, and will attempt to pass for a free white man. He is a good cook and washer, understands business about a house as a waiter, and will probably offer himself as such; he is also a good mower, and is capable of other plantation work. He has a free mother in Georgetown, and I suspect he may for a time endeavour to secrete himself there or about the neighbourhood. A Mulatto man by the name of Neil belonging to Mr. Thos. Bincoe, of Loudoun county, was missing the next day, and it is supposed they are gone off together. All masters of vessels and others are forewarned from harbouring or carrying off the above slave.

From the CHARLESTON COURIER.
THE statement to which we alluded in Saturdays Courier, as being taken from a back country print into the National Intelligencer, which speaks it is said the voice of government, is, as we have there stated, a very manifest attempt to impose upon the public understanding. It puts into comparison, for the purpose of showing a great inequality between them, the public expenditures of two periods of time, during which the demands for expenditure were extremely unequal. What would be thought of a writer in England who should attempt to impose upon the people by instituting a comparison between the expenses of four years of war and four years of a long continued peace establishment?—Why he would be at once set down by every man as either a fool or imposter. Yet to that or the like effect is the statement to which we allude. It first takes the appropriations made for eight years and a half in this way:
1st. The four last years of President Washington's administration.
2d. The four years of Mr. Adams's administration.
For the first of these he makes the appropriations to be 28,058,235
For the second, 44,936,306
By which he makes the appropriations of Mr. Adams greater than those of President Washington by 16,878,071
Here he stoops up the head of appropriations, leaving those of Mr. Jefferson, which one would expect to see stated entirely out of the comparison; but he turns on his heel and says, "but to make it appear still plainer, the following statement will be useful."—and then he takes up the principal of the national debt as this criterion, and then leaves the Washington administration out of the comparison. As the low cunning of this evades cursory observation, it must in justice be brought to view. The calculator first makes one head to show President Adams in a disadvantageous comparison with Washington, and then shifts to another head to show him in a disadvantageous comparison with Mr. Jefferson. And to this end he first states the addition made to the national debt during the administration of Mr. Adams, and then takes the two years and a half which have passed of the present administration, and calculating the whole residue of the four years, at the same rate as the two and a half that are past, he makes the difference in favor of Mr. Jefferson's administration to be 24,021,332 dollars.—A very striking part of this very natural statement is, that the calculator computes the expenses of the year and a half of Mr. Jefferson's administration which is to come, by the ratio of the two years and a half which are past. Though he must have known and his copyist at Washington actually had before his eyes, the grant lately made by congress (at the special demand of the President) of a large sum to equip an armament against Tripoli, and the act of Congress for raising that sum by additional duties.—Our readers will see in this one thing alone an abstract of the whole practice of the anti-federal agents and writers.
According to this statement, however, supposing it were true, and supposing Mr. Jefferson's ensuing year and a half were to be as shrivelled with economies as the two and a half that are past, the difference between the several expenditures of the different presidents would after all be but as follows:—President Washington expended more than President Jefferson by 8,375,625 dollars; President Adams expended more than President Jefferson by 24,021,332.
Now if there be any one who once knew and has thought it convenient to forget, we call upon him to remember, and if there be any who did not know it before, we inform him now, that the presidency of Mr. Jefferson has been one continuity of external peace and internal tranquility, save verbal political bickerings. The last years of the administration of Washington were of a different complexion. A wicked, artful, ferocious, firebrand enemy, under the specious pretext of friendship and alliance, aimed a deadly blow at the internal tranquility of the Union; indeed at its existence as a free nation. The emissaries of France, (French, English, and Irish) leagued with the agents of Jacobinism natives and traitorous to this their country, were then industriously employed in exciting disaffection to this young government, in disseminating the principles of France with the holy right of insurrection throughout this country; did all they could to force or to trepan our then government into a league with the blood stained rulers of France; and actually attempted to levy an army for France in the heart of this country—an army of Americans. In combination and congruity with these designs, an insurrection was excited in the western country; a man now high in executive trust and favor being at the head of it. But why mention him, since the insurrection was the work and the glory of the whole faction collectively. Were that dangerous crisis to come across this country, in this our present wane of executive vigor, during which the energies of the country decay while its mind runs into madness, we should soon be under the controul of France and under the dominion of Bonaparte. The wisdom of Washington's counsels, and the unshaken intrepidity of his soul, saved this country from that worst of deaths. But wisdom and valor cannot act in full physical force without the aid of money. The great, illumined mind, to be sure was there to direct and to decide, and the brave heart to lead to victory; but the farms of bone and muscle, and the arms of steel were wanting; and soldiers are not to be had, even in this free and patriotic country, without expense. An army was necessary, and an army did march. The firm clemency of Washington alone prevented its being employed in the business of death. If this and other services which kept America out of intestine and foreign, perhaps endless war, or saved us from subjugation to France, cost the country so much more than the kind of peace which we now enjoy as to make it a matter of regret to Americans, they have to blame not the Washington administration but the men whose traitorous conduct induced the necessity of arming. That very peace, on the fruits of which the present administration plumes itself, and upon the strength of which the Anti-Federal agents make such fine calculations of economies, is greatly owing to the expenditure of that money. Thus the arts of those men turn the thing to double advantage—setting off as their own doing the savings of peace, and heightening their merit by a comparison with the expenditure by which former administrations had established that peace.
In the administration of President Adams, the call for an army was no less urgent; and a navy (a very strong one too,) became necessary, for the safety of our commerce, for the security of our sea ports, for the honor of our flag, and for the character of our country. Let any one look back to the proud, the lofty eminence on which America stood at that day, and then at the contemptible figure we make at this; let him recollect the daring insults, the dishonest injuries, and the ruffian wrongs huddled upon our ships and citizens, in quick succession, by France; and then let him remember the issue. Let him call to mind the noble achievements of our officers and mariners; of Truxton, M c Neil, &c. which for so many, equalled those of our bold progenitors, the master mariners of the globe. Let him behold in retrospect the haughty, ferocious, bloody regicide, his arts defeated by the wisdom and intrepidity of Washington; his maritime arms flitted from the face of the ocean, and himself compelled to a humiliating compromise, by that navy; then let him look to the despicable figure we cut at this day; to the insults we endure; to the injuries done to our commerce; to the stains every day dying deeper and deeper into the grain of our flag; to our nation dishonored; to our ships made the butts, not only for licentious outrage and pillage, but for the finger of scorn to point at; insomuch that "There goes a Yankee"—"we'll have some fun with Jonathan"—"Hawl away; he is but an American"—is the word on board every scoundrel pirate or privateer. Let him read the details of insult, plunder, and capture in almost every day's paper; let him compare the one administration with the other, estimate the incurable evils on one side with the expence and the attendant benefits on the other; and then let him lay his hand upon his heart, and say, with the same truth as if he were standing for judgment before Heaven, which is the greater grievance, honourable character and security of person and property, with some expence on one hand; or on the other, a miserable saving—a quid of parsimony, (the word economy is disgraced by being applied to such things) accompanied by national disgrace and individual loss. The great source of our national strength, and that which gives full effect and copious flow to its other sources, is commerce. If we have not commerce, it is but in vain that our industry shall make our rich lands bring forth plenty. All that adorns life, and renders it elegant and comfortable, is done by commerce: Shall that be neglected then, and left to perish under the spoiler's hand, that one man, or one set of men, may be considered as mighty peaceable and economical. The farmer and planter are as much benefited, and therefore as much bound to protect commerce as the merchant. In-
deed, both of them are indebted to it for existence. This country now contains five millions of people. By dividing the expenditure among them, we shall find, that for the maintenance of their internal peace and security, their independence, their national honor, and their commerce, in the time of Washington, each individual paid one dollar and sixty six cents, in four years—that is to say, forty cents a year: And for the chastisement of the French encroachers, in the presidency of Mr. Adams, four dollars and eighty cents, in four years—that is, one dollar and twenty cents per annum each, more than they now pay to national disgrace, commercial ruin, immense insignificance, shame, and the bankruptcy of thousands, under the economy of Mr. Jefferson. It would be better if wealth had no existence, and that people had nothing beyond a bare support, so they might preserve their honor and independence, than that their wealth should become the pandar of political pollution, or be made the instrument at once of national deception and national disgrace. And surely it were better that every individual in the country subscribed one or two dollars every year, than that the pride and the honorable feeling of the nation should be starved down with penury, or chased away by the mumping cant of beggary and pretender want. Lazarus, when laid covered over with sores at the rich man's door, was nothing to the spectacle which our parsimonious (economists they are not) would make of this nation. To those who really love republican government, it can be no pleasing sight to see the once august and admirable republic of America walking about with a poor-box and a brief in its hand, thrusting its sore leg in the face of passers-by to excite compassion, begging alms and saying to individuals as they pass, "Your charity for the honor of the republic." Yet this would be better than to let her perish, or to feel as well as hear the poor mouth she makes every moment through her present organs. "Forty cents a year, or one dollar and twenty cents a year," extra for the safety and honour of one's country!! Why the sum could be raised by private subscription, upon a much less worthy or necessary cause; a few "humanely and well disposed persons who have hearts to feel for the afflicted," could make a collection to that amount, in as short time, as they make a collection for blind bag-pipers at country hops in Ireland. On America, America! what art thou come to when in the hour that cast your eyes which way you will, all around you calls for every thing that is great and magnanimous counsel and in action, nothing is to be heard from you but the pitiful pig-whine beggary and distress, issuing from your dearest organ—your pocket; like the doleful little voice of Master Tackey, crying out, "help, help!" from the satchel of a ventriloquist.
Thus it appears that the saving of which the present administration and its agents so loudly and triumphantly boast, has produced consequences at which they ought to tremble, and that the waste of which they continually accuse the former administrations has produced consequences at which if they have any feeling, they ought to blush. Of all things, if they are wise, they will avoid comparisons with their predecessors. Censuring them as they do, the act as absurdly as Queen Elizabeth, vain and amorous, though jealous of her reputation for beauty though hideous, ugly, had the weakness to be continually extorting from foreign ambassadors, and from her slaves and courtiers, compliments to her own face and person by comparison with the most celebrated beauties of whom she could hear; and who was ever more wringing from her servile dependents acknowledgments of the superiority of her charms to those of the incomparable Mary Queen of Scotland, whom she hated, and for whose blood she thirsted not a little on account of her consciousness of personal inferiority, and whom she at last put to death, under the influence of the malignant jealousy with which the unparalleled beauty of that lovely princess inspired her savage bosom.
We cannot dismiss this article without remarking one more unfair part of the calculation. Mr. Adams is debited for the whole first cost of the ships, but is allowed credit only for what they brought at public sale. Every one can judge of the quality of this part of the transaction. Bad as it is, however, it is but a trifle compared with the rest. Something like the mark of a wet finger on the face of a chimney-sweep.
Upon the whole, the question is whether this President or that expended most money, but whether the security, independence and the honor of the state were rendered such or such expences necessary.

President Washington was wrong in sup- pressing the rebellious insurrection in the west, and keeping the country in a state of prosperous neutrality, by presenting a strong arm and a resolute front to foreign intrigue and foreign threat, then his expen- ditures so far were wrong also; but if other- wise, they were right; and it is mere ped- ling fraud and diabolical wrong, to im- peach his making them. If Mr. Adams was wrong in repelling the aggressions of the French, and returning their insults, assaults and plunderers with hard knocks and in bringing them to reason by force, when he could not by argument, then his expenditures were vicious, and he deserves reprehension for them; but if otherwise, he deserves the thanks of the country for his wise, politic, spirited, and honorable appropriation of their treasure. In like manner, if Mr. Jefferson is right in suffer- ing our ships to be pillaged, our fellow-citi- zens maltreated, insulted, robbed, and im- prisoned, at the will, and to gratify the avarice, the malice or the avarice of aliens —if he suffers individuals of our country to be brought to bankruptcy, and by doing so permits general bankruptcy to be haz- arded; if he tamely permits the country in the persons of many of its citizens to be sneaked by the nose every day that a yard of canvas sails from our coasts; and if straining his christian feelings, he makes the country, over which he presides, at eve- ry stroke it receives on "one cheek to turn the other also;" if (we say) he is right in all this, then he is right in his econo- mies.
But if on the contrary, the honor, the security, the independence, the character and the commerce of the country are worth preserving, and he suffers them to be lost in order to get a hollow credit of saving and popularity, then is his conduct highly cen- surable, his public parsimony criminal, and his administration a sore evil to this coun- try: while at the same time those partisans of his measures who endeavor to make his character illustrious by trumpeting forth his economies, are guilty of treachery to the country, and though they perhaps do not know it, of treachery to him also.

FUNERAL OBSEQUIES.
NEW-YORK, JULY 17.
On Saturday last the remains of ALEX- ANDER HAMILTON were committed to the grave with every possible testimony of res- pect and sorrow. That distant readers may form some idea of what passed on this mournful occasion, we shall here present them with a regular and correct account of the whole scene.
The Military, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Morton, was drawn up in front of Mr. Church's house in Ro- binson street, where the body had been deposited. On the appearance of the corpse it was received by the whole line with presented arms and saluted by the officers, with melancholy music by a large and ele- gant Band.
The military then preceded the bier, in open column and inverted order, the left in front with arms reversed, the band play- ing a dead march. At 12 o'clock the pro- cession moved in the following order, through Beckman, Pearl, and White-Hall streets, and up Broadway to the Church:
The Artillery. The 6th Regiment of Militia. Flank Companies. Cincinnati Society. A numerous train of Clergy of all denomi- nations.

On the top of the coffin was the Gene- ral's hat and sword with boots and spurs reserved across the horse. His grey horse, dressed in mourning, was led by two black servants dressed in white, and white turbans trimmed with black."
The streets were lined with people, doors and windows were filled, principally with weeping females, and even the house tops were covered with spectators who came from all parts behold the melancholy procession.
"When the advanced platoon of the mi- litary reached the church, the whole col- umn wheeled backward by sections from the flanks of platoons, forming a lane, bringing their muskets to a reserved order and resting the cheek on the butt of the piece in the customary attitude of grief. Through the avenue thus formed the corpse preceded by the clergy of different denomi- nations and Society of Cincinnati, and fol- lowed by the relations of the deceased, and different public bodies, advanced to the church, the band, with drums muffled, all the time, playing a pensive, solemn air."
Funeral Oration.
On a stage erected in the portico of Tri- nity Church, Mr. Gouverneur Morris, hav- ing four of General Hamilton's sons, the eldest about sixteen and the youngest about six years of age, with him, rose and deli- vered to an immense concourse in front an extemporary Oration, which being pro- nounced slowly and impressively was easi- ly committed to memory, and being very soon afterwards placed on paper is now presumed to be correct even to the lan- guage. Being shown to several gentlemen who heard it, they all agree that it comes near enough to what was actually deliver- ed, to be presented as the oration at length.
FELLOW-CITIZENS—
If on this sad, this solemn occasion, I should endeavour to move your commise- ration, it would be doing injustice to that sensibility which has been so generally and so justly manifested. Far from attempting to excite your emotions I must try to re- press my own, and yet I fear that instead of the language of a public speaker, you will hear only the lamentations of a bewail- ing friend. But I will struggle with my bursting heart, to portray that heroic spi- rit, which has flown to the mansions of bliss.
Students of Columbia—he was in the ar- dent pursuit of knowledge in your academic shades, when the first sound of the Ame- rican war called him to the field. A young and unprotected volunteer, such was his zeal and so brilliant his service, that we heard his name before we knew his person. It seemed as if God had called him sud- denly into existence, that he might assist to save the world.
The penetrating eye of Washington soon perceived the manly spirit which ani- mated his youthful bosom. By that excel- lent judge of men he was selected as an Aid, and thus he became early acquainted with & was a principal actor in the most impor- tant scenes of our revolution.
At the siege of York, he pertinaciously insisted—and he obtained the command of a Forlorn Hope. He stormed the re- doubt; but let it be recorded that not one single man of the enemy perished. His gallant troops emulating the heroism of their chief, checked the uplifted arm and spared a foe no longer resisting. Here he closed his military career.
Shortly after the war, your favour—no, your discernment called him to public of- fice. You sent him to the convention at Philadelphia; he there assisted in forming
that constitution which is now the bond of our union, the shield of our defence and the source of our prosperity. In signing that compact he expressed his apprehension that it did not contain sufficient means of strength for its own preservation; and that in consequence we should share the fate of many other republics and pass through An- archy to Despotism. We hoped better things. We confided in the good sense of the American people; and above all we trusted in the protecting Providence of the Almighty. On this important subject he never concealed his opinion. He disdained concealment. Knowing the purity of his heart, he bore it as it were in his hand, exposing to every passenger its inmost recesses. This generous indiscretion sub- jected him to censure from misrepresenta- tion. His speculative opinions were treat- ed as deliberate designs; and yet you all know how strenuous, how unremitting were his efforts to establish and to preserve the constitution. If, then, his opinion was wrong, pardon, oh! pardon that single er- ror, in a life devoted to your service.
At a time when our government was or- ganized, we were without funds, though not without resources. To call them into action, and establish order in the finances, Washington sought for splendid talents, for extensive information, and above all, he sought for sterling, incorruptible integ- rity. All these he found in Hamilton.— The system then adopted has been the sub- ject of much animadversion. If it be not without a fault, let it be remembered that nothing human is perfect. Recollect the circumstances of the moment; recollect the conflict of opinion; and above all, remem- ber that the minister of a republic must bend to the will of the people. The administra- tion which Washington formed, was one of the most efficient, one of the best that any country was ever blest with. And the result was a rapid advance in power and prosperity, of which there is no example in any other age or nation. The part which Hamilton bore is universally known.
His unsuspecting confidence in profes- sions which he believed to be sincere, led him to trust too much to the undeserving. This exposed him to misrepresentation. He felt himself obliged to resign. The care of a rising family, and the narrowness of his fortune, made it a duty to return to his profession for their support. But tho' he was compelled to abandon public life, never, no, never for a moment did he aban- don the public service. He never lost sight of your interests—I declare to you, before that God in whose presence we are now so especially assembled, that in his most private and confidential conversations, the single objects of discussions and consi- deration were your freedom and happi- ness.
You will remember the state of things which again called forth Washington from his retreat to lead your armies. You know that he asked for Hamilton to be his Second in command. That venerable sage well knew the dangerous incidents of a mi- litary profession, and he felt the hand of time pinching life at its source. It was probable that he would soon be removed from the scene and that his Second would succeed to the command. He knew, by experience, the importance of that place— and he thought the sword of America might safely be confided to the hand which now lies cold in that coffin. Oh! my fel- low-citizens, remember this solemn testi- monial that he was not ambitious. Yet he was charged with ambition; and wounded by the imputation, when he laid down his command, he declared, in the proud inde- pendence of his soul, that he never would accept of any office, unless in a foreign war he should be called on to expose his life in defence of his country. This determina- tion was immovable. It was his fault that his opinions and his resolutions could not be changed. Knowing his own firm purpose, he was indignant at the charge that he sought for place or power. He was ambitious only of glory, but he was deeply solicitous for you. For himself he feared nothing, but he feared that bad men might, by false professions, acquire your confidence and abuse it to your ruin.
Brethren of the Cincinnati—There lies our chief! Let him still be our model.— Like him, after long and faithful public service, let us cheerfully perform the so- cial duties of private life. Oh! he was mild and gentle. In him there was no offence; no guile. His generous heart and hand were open to all.
Gentlemen of the Bar—You have lost your brightest ornament. Cherish and imitate his example. While, like him, with justifiable, with laudable zeal, you pursue the interests of your clients, remember, like him, the eternal principle of justice.
Fellow-Citizens—You have long witnes-
sed his professional conduct, and let it unrivalled eloquence. You know how we he performed the duties of a Citizen—yo- know that he never courted your favor adulation or the sacrifice of his own judg- ment. You have seen him contending a- gainst you, and saving your dearest inter- ests, as it were in spite of yourselves. An- you now feel and enjoy the benefits resul- ing from the firm energy of his conduct. Bear this testimony to the memory of our departed friend. I CHARGE YOU TO PRO- TECT HIS FAME—it is all he has left—a- that these poor orphan children will inher- from their father. But my countrymen that Fame may be rich treasure to you a- so. Let it be the test by which to examine those who solicit your favor. Disregard- ing professions, view their conduct, and on a doubtful occasion, ask, Would Hamilton have done this thing?
You all know how he perished. On the last scene, I cannot, I must not dwell. I might excite emotions too strong for your better judgment. Suffer not your indigna- tion to lead to any act which might agai- offend the insulted majesty of the law. On his part, as from his lips, though with my voice—for his voice you will hear no more—let me entreat you to respect your- selves.
And now ye ministers of the everlasting GOD, perform your holy office and comm- these ashes of our departed brother to the bosom of the Grave!
The oration being finished the corpse was carried to the grave where the usual funer- service was performed by the Reverend Bishop Moore. The troops who had en- tered the church yard, formed an extensive hollow square and terminated the solemn- ties with three volleys over the grave.
During the procession there was a reg- lar discharge of minute guns from the Ba- tery, by a detachment from the regiment of artillery. The different merchant ve- sels in the harbour wore their colors ha- mast both this and the preceding day.
His Britannic Majesty's ship of war Be- ton, captain Douglass, at anchor with the Hook, appeared in mourning the who- morning, and at 10 o'clock she commen- ed firing minute guns, which were con- nued forty-eight minutes. His Majesty's packet Lord Charles Spencer, Captain Cotesworth, also was in mourning a- fired an equal number of guns. The Fren- frigates Cybelle and Didon, were also i- into full mourning both this and the p- ceding day, with yards peaked; they al- fired minute guns during the procession. It deserves also to be mentioned that the French surgeons of these frigates went o- to Mr. Bayard's before his death and fered their services. These affecting man- of attention will be gratefully received our fellow-citizens, as evidence how high- ly the deceased was respected and este- ed by the French and English officers.
We have no observations to add—The scene was enough to melt a monument marble.

This Lottery has been authorized by the legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purpose of erecting a seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dollars, and 2,500 dollars in addition, for defraying the expenses attending on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first respectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their utmost exertions to carry it into effect. The scheme has the advantage of giving to each each adventurer a chance for some very large prizes, whilst the proportion of prizes to blanks, is so great as to invite the friends of the intended institution to partake in the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of this state is to be appointed to receive the money for the tickets as they are sold, and to pay the amount of the prizes to fortunate adventurers. It is believed that the above considerations will induce a rapid sale of the tickets, and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorize it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next.
