Extract of a letter from an officer late of the United States frigate Philadelphia, dated Tripoli, February 24, 1804.
"Commodore Preble, writes that he expects answers to his dispatches from America by the beginning of April, and assures us he will enter upon negotiations for our ransom as soon as authorised by government. He also assures, that no exertions shall be wanting on his part to render our situations here as comfortable and our captivity of as short a duration as possible—he at the same time writes a very firm, and manly letter to the prime minister here—he tells him, it has pleased Providence to put in his power a number of his unfortunate countrymen, whom he hopes his humanity will dictate to him to treat as prisoners of war; begs him not to compel the men to work, that the government will not ransom those who have been treated as slaves, and charges him at his peril not to maltreat an officer or man belonging to the United States.
"It is impossible for us to conjecture what sum the Bashaw will demand for our release. As yet not a syllable has escaped the Tripoline government upon that subject. When we were in the Mediterranean in the Constellation the Algerines captured a Portuguese frigate, and if I recollect Algiers demanded of Portugal a million of dollars for the release of their prisoners. Possibly our Bashaw may regulate his demands from this precedent and require a million for us, perhaps he may be satisfied with less, perhaps he may be still more exorbitant, depending entirely upon what he thinks the United States will give, we have no ground on which to form an opinion with regard to the precise sum. He will endeavour to get as much as possible, and no doubt will at first make a most exorbitant demand. The United States however will not too eagerly come into their terms. The United States will neither give a million nor half a million, for although government ought to concede herself bound to rescue us from captivity as speedily as possible, for it was while in the zealous performance of our duty in her service, in the actual pursuit of an enemy's cruiser, that our misfortunes befel us, yet I have no idea that our country should appear so humiliating and betray such an excess of sensibility, as well as want of dignity, as to be forced into such terms by the petty regency of Tripoli. Let the United States send all her frigates off this town, and then demand the price of our ransom. I fancy the Bashaw would be very willing to enter into terms, and very reasonable ones too. I believe that the only way to procure either a temporary peace without money or a permanent one without tribute, or our release for a reasonable sum, would be to send such a force, and
we are able to send out such a force, as would strike a terror into these savages."
From the same.
February 26.
"Yesterday Captain Bainbridge received letters through the prime minister, which had been broken open and translated for the Bashaw. The minister this evening waited on Capt. Bainbridge. He came to express his regret at being compelled to open letters directed to Capt. Bainbridge; he had remonstrated with the Bashaw against it, but in vain, and was obliged to submit to superior orders—that with respect to our guard he trusted we would not feel a moment's uneasiness, and assures us we may rely on our again having the liberty of the town in a few days. He says he means as soon as the Constitution appears off here to send a flag of truce to the Commodore, and communicate to him the sum the Bashaw demands for our ransom. He will let Capt. B. know when he sends the flag of truce in order that he may if he chuses write to the Commodore. He does not tell us how much each of us are valued at. The prime minister was educated in Italy, has studied the laws of nations, and is much our friend. I forgot to mention that the British Consul has been speaking very strenuously in our behalf with the Bashaw and Minister. The powerful nation which he represents must render his interference of more avail with the Bashaw than that of any other person. He begs us to be under no apprehensions and assures us we will without doubt again have the liberty of the town in a few days."
From the same.
March 2.
"Last evening the Minister sent us some letters which have been broken open for the perusal of the Bashaw. The latest dates of mine was December 30th. They have been in Tripoli at least nine days as there have been no arrivals here since then. I have not yet the papers which accompanied these letters. I suppose they will be sent in a day or two; though if they intend translating all the papers, and translate as slow as they have done the letters, it would be many months ere we get them. I have no doubt there are more letters for me at the minister's. By this vilanous procedure the Bashaw has obtained very little important information. Our guards are taken off."
From the same.
March 3, 1804.
"Commodore Preble, chartered a vessel at Malta on purpose to send us a variety of articles which he thought we stood in need of, and has authorised Capt. Bainbridge to draw upon our agent at Malta for whatever he may want. Col. Lear at Algiers, and Mr. Davis at Tunis, write that they will make every exertion to render our time here comfortable. Although we are confined at present within doors, yet we cannot complain of want of exercise. Our house is large airy and commodious, with lengthy piazzas in which we walk a great deal. Our fare though not sumptuous, is extremely palatable and wholesome. Eggs and muffins for breakfast and supper and boiled beef or mutton with soup for dinner, and occasionally we indulge ourselves with tea. The same servants that we had on board the ship attends us here. Although this mode of living is very different from what I have been accustomed to, yet it agrees with me extremely well. I never enjoyed better health in my life. I have not experienced a moment of the slightest indisposition since we have been here."
From the same.
March 5, 1804.
"Since the burning of our ship the Bashaw seems to think that Americans are capable of undertaking any thing and is fearful of our escape. To prevent this, we were removed on the 2d inst. to the castle as to a place of greater safety. Our house, tho' not so commodious as the one we left is sufficiently large for us. I expect from the active interference of the consuls, we shall be again removed to our former abode. The minister has sent to inform us that letters will be allowed to pass. We have no doubt but that they will be examined."

BOSTON, July 18.
FOREIGN ARTICLES —Translated from French papers, received by the Weymouth Captain Rich, arrived from Bordeaux, Papers to May 24.
As our democrats have learned all their political lessons from political demagogues of France, and have endeavoured that their precepts and examples should be followed implicitly, in this country, we soon expect to hear the old chorus of "Vive la Liberte! Vive l'Egalite!" exchanged for another measure of "Vive l'Empereur! Vive l'Empereur!" Whether we are to pass thro' the blood, and murder, and rape, and pillage of a revolution, before we substitute a hereditary government, or whether our blind confidence in the man whom they call the "Lord's Anointed," is to lead us tranquilly into slavery, is to be conjectured. As the Chronicle, however, has proposed the pillage of the rich, we suppose we are to follow the track marked out by Condorcet, Robespierre and Marat. Their declarations have already been printed; and that our dear patriotic democratic demagogues, may not want a precedent of a declaration of the establishment of a military despotism, we have translated for their use,
THE ADDRESS Of the Legislative body of France to the First Consul.
CITIZEN FIRST CONSUL,
The members of the legislative body are no sooner reassembled, than they reciprocate a common zeal for their country: and at this important epoch they cannot feel indifferent to the national will, so loudly and so generally expressed.—Scattered over the various departments of this vast empire, they know its wants and habits. They know that the energy and action, of the power which governs, should be commensurate with the extent of territory and population. When this relation, established by nature, is neglected by the legislator, his word must perish.
The chief blessing of man is tranquillity and peace; and these depend on permanent institutions. The supreme power which guarantees them, ought therefore to be secure from the caprice of elections. Every elective government is inconstant, violent and helpless as the passions of men; whilst hereditary power gives to the social system the force, the continuance, and constancy of the designs of nature. An uninterrupted succession of authority, in the same family will maintain the peace and existence of all. It is necessary for the perpetual security of their rights, that the authority which protects them should be eternal. The people who unite the most capricious levity, with the most eminent qualities, must supremely prefer a system, which confirms their virtue by repressing their inconstancy.
History every where discovers, at the head of great nations a single hereditary chief. But this high Magistracy is not instituted but for general good. If it is weak it falls—if violent, it destroys itself; and in either case it merits its fate, for it oppresses the people, or fails to protect them. In one word, this authority, which ought to be tutelary, ceases to be lawful, when it is not national.
No!—doubtless those mighty beings were not gods whom general interest has deified, and associated in brilliant and inaccessible spheres, that law proclaimed from such high authority, might have the more splendor, control, and influence. But if the grandeur of monarchy, is not founded on the extravagant fictions, which delude the multitude, it is supported by all those political maxims, which the lessons of adversity, and the voice of sages have established.
Ancient illusions have ceased; but do we need a man of our choice? Scarcely has he numbered thirty four years, and the events of his life are more wonderful than the fables, with which history has surrounded the cradles of ancient dynasties.
The triumph and will of the nation cannot be resisted. Such extraordinary changes are not new. It is at the noise and tumults of thrones which fall, which rise, and should fall again, that successive ages meditate on the inconstancy of human affairs. Old Empires are regenerated at such important eras, and the chief of a new monarchy communicates to them the energy of his spirit, and the vigor of his enterprise.
We doubt not, a career of prosperity, and glory again opens for our posterity. The nineteenth century at its commencement, presents to the universe a most
magnificent spectacle, and instructive lesson. It consecrates the principle of hereditary power, and opinion, for the happiness of France; whose revolution it terminates, and for the example of Europe whose errors it prevents.
The human mind troubled with the worst of diseases, the disease of perfection , has wished to create a new race of men; to form new societies and another world. But soon frightened at its work and wearied with its efforts, has returned to the track of experience, and submits to the authority of ages. It is at the moment it recognizes its limits, the human mind is truly enlarged; it is at the moment it learns to check its weakness, that it justly directs the exercise of its powers. The remembrance of its past deviations will afford a useful foresight; and the fear of falling into its first excesses will not hurry it into the contrary extreme.
We shall not witness the deadly stupor of slavery succeeding the mad tumult of democracy. No Citizen First Consul, you would not command but a free people; we know it; and will therefore obey you always. The departments of government will be balanced with wisdom; they will preserve every thing that will support, nothing that can destroy, liberty. The imperial government will confirm all the blessings of the Consulate, and will increase them. The former needs less force than the latter. The security of hereditary power will temper all its measures. It is less vigorous for it has fewer obstacles to vanquish, and smaller dangers to encounter; the greater its moderation the more controlling its influence; and if it almost extention, it relaxes and destroys itself. Thus the prerogatives of the Emperor, better defined, will be more limited than those of the First Consul. The danger of faction compelled the establishment of a temporary Dictator: These times are past: Monarchy is regenerated; liberty must be immortal; the dictatorship expires, and natural authority commences its reign.
(Signed) FONTANES.
This famous declaration in favor of MONARCHY, was preceded by the following expression of the will of the Legislative Body:—
They declare their will ( voeu ) as follows—That Napoleon Bonaparte, First Consul, shall be declared Emperor; that the imperial dignity should be hereditary in his family; that the representative system should be established on a solid basis; and that the civil institutions should receive a character of greatness due to the Majesty of the French nation, guaranteeing at once the authority of government and the liberty of the people.
Similar requests to the great Napoleon, that he would become Emperor of the Gauls have been made by several cities, and detachments of the army.
THE MOST GRACIOUS ANSWER OF THE FIRST CONSUL, To the Address of the Senators.
Your address of the 6th Germinal, has never ceased to be present to my mind; it has been the object of my most constant attention.
You have judged it necessary that the supreme magistracy should be hereditary, in order to secure the French people from the plots of our enemies, and from the convulsions which would spring from the ambition of rivals. Many of our institutions must have appeared to you to be brought to perfection, and to be more perfect to secure the triumph of equality and public liberty, and to offer to the nation and to the government the double guarantee which they so much want.
We have constantly been guided by this great truth; and the sovereignty resides in the French People; on this basis, every thing, without exception, must be done for their interests, happiness, and glory; in order to attain this end, the Supreme Magistracy, the Senate, the Council of the State, the Legislative Body, the Electoral Colleges, and the various branches of the administration, are and must be instituted. When I have fixed my attention on these great objects, the more I have been persuaded of the truth of the sentiments which I expressed to you, and I have felt the more and more that, in circumstances as new as important, the aid of your wisdom and experience have been necessary to me in every step.
I then invite you to make known to me freely your sentiments.
The French People have nothing to add to the honors and the glory which they have conferred upon me;—but the duty the most sacred to me, and the most dear to my heart, is to insure to their children
the advantages acquired by the revolution, which has cost them, so much above all, the sacrifice of a million of brave men, who have died for the defence of their rights.
I wish that we may say to them, on the 14th of July this year—fifteen years have elapsed since by a spontaneous movement, you ran to arms, you acquired liberty, equality, and glory. This day those first blessings of nations are firmly fixed and secured against all tempests; they are preserved to you and to your children; institutions conceived and commenced in the bosom of the storms of war, interior and exterior, are about to terminate amidst the noise of wicked attempts and plots of the most mortal enemies, in the adoption of every measure which the experience of ages and the people have demonstrated proper, to guarantee rights which the nation had judged necessary to her dignity, liberty and happiness.
LONDON, June 5.
The Prussian Minister to the Diet of the Empire and the Minister of the Elector of Baden, have presented a Verbal Note upon the subject of the Emperor of Russia's recent communication. It cautiously avoids any opinion on the subject; but it states that the courts they represent entertain a well founded hope, that the First Consul himself will be inclined to give a full and satisfactory explanation of the subject.
Thus the first effect of the Emperor of Russia's note has been to render it impossible for Bonaparte to decline making some apology for the outrage of which all are equally sensible. There is a timidity, indeed, in the conduct even of the principal Germanic Powers, in waiting for an explanation while they would have been perfectly justified in demanding reparation. If Bonaparte delays his explanation, it will remain for the Germanic Body to remonstrate. What has already passed is so far important as it recognises the right to satisfaction; so that the matter will not be allowed to drop.
Whatever may be the sentiments of the Continental Powers, we see no probability, whatever that even the plan of confederacy can be matured and adjusted, so as to admit of any important measures this year. Some of the people are so sanguine that they see none of these difficulties.
It is said that a camp of near 80,000 troops will be formed near Pest, in Hungary, for the purpose of exercise. That is not exactly the spot where an army destined, to act against the dominions of France would be assembled.
FRANCE.
In the London "Sun" of the 26th of May is the following extract of a private letter from Paris.
"Do not imagine that the address of the prefects express the opinion of the departments of the people, more than the address of the generals, the sentiments of the officers and of the soldiers, concerning the hereditary imperial dignity in the Bonaparte family. No, the former as well as the latter, have either been extorted or bought from individuals, whose ambition or cupidity will write any thing or subscribe any thing; and who have formerly addressed Robespierre as they now do Bonaparte; and as they hereafter will do Louis XVIII. should he be restored to power. The mass of the French nation is tired of war, and disgusted with the revolution; but at the same time as totally indifferent about Bonaparte as about Moreau, or any other great man who figured in the revolution."
"Though they want spirit or patriotism to assert their rights, and to publish their opinions, they have sense enough to see, information enough to judge, and experience enough to know, that the return of order and of tranquillity depends entirely upon the return of the Bourbons; and that neither the Senatus Consultes, decrees of the tribunate, or commanded addresses, can ensure the rank of the Bonapartes any longer than Napoleon's life; and that those very persons who have now been the first to proclaim, the hereditary sovereignty in his family will then come forward as the first pretenders to his dignity, to the exclusion of his relatives, persons foreigners in France, and who have performed nothing to be elevated, and less to be tolerated for."
"Here exists a faction, which Bonaparte calls a faction of generals, of which Massena and Macdonald are regarded as chiefs but to which neither Jourdan, St. Cyr, Berthier nor even Murat are strangers. The latter though related to the Bonapartes, detests as cordially Joseph, Lucien, and Louis Bonaparte, as Massena
sens himself, but policy causes him to keep on good terms with Napoleon, who in his turn sees him without confidence and employs him from necessity only, not knowing really to whom otherwise to trust the important place of Governor of Paris. The faction of Generals is regarded by the Senators, as very dangerous, and they have therefore advised the First Consul to exclude for the future as much as possible generals from being members of the Senate. The tribunes on the contrary jealous of the power and pay of the senators court the disaffected, and with the legislative corps desire in their body as many generals as possible, and it is believed that the two constitutional corps, will at any future vacancy of the Chief Magistrate of the republic, join the faction of Generals to exclude all Bonapartes from their future pretensions."
"Even among his brothers Napoleon Bonaparte looks upon Joseph as his only friend, as Lucien is his avowed opposer and Louis is led entirely by him. As to Jerome he is in complete disgrace with all his sisters and brothers, for having married a woman who has English blood in her veins. Gen. Duroc is yet the First Consul's friend, though he cedes Murat his place as Governor, and Talleyrand his place of minister, a place to which he had promised to succeed, should Talleyrand resign or die."
"Several thousand books and pamphlets have been printed, and with large sums, distributed in the armies among the officers and soldiers, and great presents are preparing for the day of coronation."
NEW-YORK, July 30.
We are informed that on Thursday last as the brig Jefferson, capt. Crocker, from Bordeaux for New-York, was coming into the Hook, the British frigate Cambrian boarded her and ordered her for Halifax. Capt. Swaine, of the ship American Packet informs, that the same frigate detained an inward bound ship for three hours, and then she stood off to the southward; he was in company with her the whole of Saturday last, but did not speak her.
MARTINSBURG, August 10.
Meminger & Cooper offer Seven Shillings for WHEAT.—This price should have been inserted in the body of their advertisement, but the request was not made in time.
At a meeting of the Stockholders of the Mutual Insurance Society of the State of Virginia, held in Richmond, the late order made by the Directors of that institution, for the payment of a Quota, was rescinded.
The Coroner's Inquest, which has been sitting since the 13th ult. after a diligent and laborious investigation of witnesses and circumstances, relating to the death of Gen. Hamilton, last evening brought in a verdict of MURDER by AARON BURR. We have not yet seen the official paper containing the verdict, but we understand that it amounts to Murder of the highest degree. [N. Y. paper.]
Capt. Johnson of the brig Lydia, arrived at New-York from Guadalupe, informs that previous to his sailing, orders had been issued there, directing the capture of all American and other vessels bound for any of the ports of St. Domingo. Martinique continued in a state of blockade, by one 74, two frigates, and an armed brig.
A letter from Liverpool, to a gentleman in Boston, dated May 17, says—"I am about to add some intelligence, which is not of a pleasing nature. Upwards of thirty sail of American vessels have been taken by the French cruisers; upon what pretence I cannot learn."
The Swedish schooner Susanna, capt. Galway, ten days from Jeremie, put into Nassau, N. P. on the 6th inst. in distress Captain G. informs, that four days before he sailed, a general massacre of the whites took place at Jeremie, when upwards of 1000 men, woman and children fell victims to the sanguinary rage of the brigands.—The cause assigned for this massacre, was the desertion of Mr. Renolds (a white man) an officer in the service of the brigands, who went on board the British frigate Tartar, Capt. Pekins. Information was sent to general Dessalines, and he dispatched an officer with orders to see a general massacre executed.

The subjoined extracts show the handsome, and, in most instances, elegant manner in which the several editors of the papers quoted have spoken of the awful event of Hamilton's death.
THE BALANCE.
[The heart of Grosvell vents its grief in the following pathetic strain.]
A TRIBUTE.—From the Editor of this paper something more is due to the departed Hamilton than common panegyric and general encomium. This, a whole nation is bound to bestow—this, not a citizen of America seems disposed to withhold. But to me he once rendered unequalled service, apart from that rendered to his country generally. In my defence, and in defence of the American press, he once exerted his unrivalled eloquence. In my cause, this greatest of men made his mightiest effort—an effort, which might have palsied the uplifted hand of power—an effort, which might have carried terror to the bosom of a tyrant. For this service, voluntarily rendered, I owed him a debt of gratitude which could never be cancelled—never diminished. But, by offering my feeble aid to the support of principles which he advocated, I hoped, at least, to show my sense of the obligation under which I was laid, by his disinterested exertions—Alas! he is gone—and I have only returned him the professions of my gratitude. But "HIS FAME IS LEFT"—DEAR AS MY BLOOD, MY LIFE SHALL BE DEVOTED TO ITS PROTECTION.
NEWPORT MERCURY.
As the public appear to be highly interested in the melancholy death of that eminently distinguished Patriot and Soldier Gen. ALEXANDER HAMILTON, we have appropriated a larger proportion of this day's paper to the publication of those arrangements made in New-York for his solemn interment, and for the general expression of that sorrow which appears to have pervaded all ranks and parties in the city. Want of room prevents our publishing the correspondence between Gen. Hamilton, and Col. Burr, before next week, when the public shall be gratified, by a perusal of all the communications on this subject, by which it will very evidently appear, that there existed, in the mind of Col. Burr, a predetermined hostility and inveteracy of design, which no language could assuage—no honourable concession could appease.
Although we explicitly condemn the barbarous, and unchristian custom of duelling, so shamefully prevalent in our country, yet it affords us much satisfaction, under this great national calamity, to ascertain the pleasing fact—that Gen. Hamilton, with extreme reluctance—under what he honestly conceived, imperious necessity—was induced to wave his conscientious scruples against this unequal mode of terminating disputes; and that, such was his conduct, during the last solemn scene of his life, as to induce a belief, that he died at peace with the world, and reconciled in sacred love to his God.
"'Tis just to give applause, where 'tis desert'd; His virtues, sure, have stood the test of fortune; Like purest gold, that, tatur'd in the furnace, Comes out more pure, and brings forth all its weight." "How does the lustre of this great man's actions, Through the dark cloud of ills that cover'd him, Break forth, and shine, with more triumphant greatness!"
THE CONNECTICUT GAZETTE.
At Philadelphia, Boston, and other places, we perceive that tributes of great respect are paid to the memory of the beloved and lamented HAMILTON. An eulogy to be delivered by Harrison G. Otis, Esq. at Boston, and the citizens are recommended to wear crape for thirty days.—The citizens of Philadelphia assembled and passed several resolves honorary of the deceased, predicated on the following—"That a national tribute of respect to the memory of departed heroes and statesmen, not only excites an emulation of their glorious example, but constitutes the purest reward of their toils and their virtues; and that such a tribute is due to the memory of Alexander Hamilton." The bells were tolled, the colours of the vessels were displayed at half mast, and the citizens were requested to wear crape on the left arm for thirty days.
As General Hamilton in point of national services stood among the first of those worthies who achieved our independence, and contributed probably more than any other man to the adoption of our excellent constitution, his death at any time
would have caused a general grief; but the premature and tragic manner in which he was torn from us, has justly excited a national feeling of sorrow and indignation, honorable to our national character, and to the memory of the deceased. The loss of so much talents and integrity at this time is no common deprivation. Every citizen has lost a friend, and every honorable man a brother.

Let us Mourn!!—The good, the wise, the patriotic, ALEXANDER HAMILTON; whose whole life was devoted to the service of man; from the exercise of whose talents, this country has derived benefits of the most incalculable magnitude: His arm was exerted for our Independence: His Science in framing our Constitution: His Eloquence in obtaining its adoption: His Knowledge in originating our Finance. And those blessings which he had so eminently contributed to obtain, he has ever shewn himself the most forward to defend and ensure. This great and virtuous man, who was the unchanging friend of his country, who was the invaluable friend of WASHINGTON! Died, on Thursday, July 12, 1804, at the house of William Bayard, Esq. of Greenwich, in consequence of a wound received from the Vice-President of the United States.—His memory will be embalmed with the tears of a nation.
PORTSMOUTH ORACLE.
Deep lamentation.—Died, at New-York, on the afternoon of Thursday last, Gen. ALEXANDER HAMILTON, of a wound, which he received on the morning of the preceding day, in a duel with Col. Burr. Never was a death more sincerely and justly lamented; and his loss will be sensibly felt throughout the United States. In him were united the most splendid talents and the strictest political integrity. There was no man more universally beloved by those who knew him, and in whom such unbounded confidence was placed.
When the feelings of the public shall, in some measure have subsided, we shall probably present to our readers a correct statement of the circumstances which produced this melancholy event, together with a tribute of respect to the unequalled talents and virtues of that great and illustrious character.
UTICA PATRIOT.
The great HAMILTON is no more; he died on Thursday the 12th inst. at 2 o'clock P.M. The loss of this great and good man, will be sincerely lamented by all classes of citizens. As an enlightened statesman, a brave officer, an excellent citizen, a powerful advocate and a warm friend to the liberties of his country, he stood pre-eminently distinguished in the eyes of his fellow-citizens—he stood first on the list of fame.
BOSTON CENTINEL.
In the demonstrations of reverence for the memory, and affliction for the loss of the Hero, the Statesman, the Patriot "without reproach," the citizens of Boston have shewn a sensibility not inferior to that of any in the Union—the ceremonies of Thursday will be recorded to their honors.
The epidemic of unfeigned lamentation appears to be universal; and the recital of the demonstrations of the calamity our country has sustained in the demise of Alexander Hamilton, reach us hourly. Though these demonstrations were confined to populous towns, the inhabitants of the villages and hamlets are not less sensible of the general loss—in these abodes of innocence and patriotism—"By fealty hands his knell is rung. By forms unseen his dirge is sung; There Honor bends—a pilgrim grey—To kiss the turf that wraps the clay; While FREEDOM stands in deep despair, And crops the tear of anguish there."
The following sketches, respecting the country and nation of the Choctaws, are taken from letters written by Silas Dinsmore, Esq. agent for government and now residing with the nation, to a private friend.
PHILA. PAP.
Choctaw Nation, April 27, 1804. "Having already given you an account of what this country does produce, I will now give you an account of what it is capable of producing. And first of the necessary articles. Maize or Indian corn, rye, wheat, barley, beans, peas, potatoes, both the Irish and French, every species of hortulan plant known in England, and some that will not grow in that climate. To the above list of necessary vegetables may be annexed a proportion-
al quantity of beef, pork and mutton, milk, butter and cheese. For raw materials of cloathing, skins, wool, cotton flax and hemp. When this country opens for settlement, it will differ much from most new settlements if there be not a governmental demand equal to the produce of the last mentioned article, to purge off the usual influx of rascals. Many of the conveniences of life, not absolutely necessary to our subsistence are included in the above list; those conveniences which approach nearer the luxuries, are as follows: fruits, viz. strawberries, currants, whortleberries, plums of various kinds; every species of grape, and in the Southern parts the orange, and perhaps the lime; the figs in greatest perfection in every part of the country. Peaches could be produced in greater abundance than apples in New England. Apples might also be produced but not so well as in the more northern climates. Sugar-cane grows very well towards the Gulf, and in general produces, where cultivated, a profitable crop.
At present however the culture of cotton supercedes every thing in many parts and will continue to do so, as long as the high demand for it continues. From the grapes the various wines and brandy, may be produced; from the cane, sugar molasses, and rum; from peaches, a most delicious, highly flavoured brandy, and from the grains the different qualities of malt liquor and whisky. The black mulberry is the natural growth of the rich lands, and the white mulberry might be easily introduced—Silk might be manufactured equal to any part of the world—Animals of use, pleasure and sport, may be increased with great ease—as horses, goats, antelopes and deer. The waters do not abound in fish, tho' at this place we get a partial supply. Iron abounds in this country, and from the numerous ticks, it is probable salt will be made. It is not to be understood that all the land in this country is good. There is a large proportion of inferior quality, and the water scarce in summer.
Character of a Choctaw.
"For the character of these people, collect all the vices possible for ignorant people to commit, with a certain portion of the most amiable virtues, heighten the contrast by uniting complacency and tenderness with the most obdurate vindictive temperament; shake all together and take out a dose sufficient to hang a white man, and you have a Choctaw."

FROM THE AMERICAN CITIZEN.  THE GRAVE OF HAMILTON. Soft beam thy rays, fair daughter of the skies, With rich profusion gilding o'er the scene Of deep repose and death: each vragrant breeze Lies hush'd within its cell, in seeming fear The solemn calm of nature should be bro- ken— Save when a solitary zephyr's sound Sighing, in mournful cadence, thro' the trees, Seems like a parted spirit's whisp'ring voice Which tells of woe to come— A chilly horror rushes thro' my frame, As o'er this sad sepulchral scene I tread, With slow and winding step—lest on some grave Haste might impel my feet—Nor you, ye wise, Smile at the superstition fond, which deem The act unholy and a sacrilege To nature's laws: Oh! rather join and pay The rev'rence due, to nature's and re- mains. This is the spot my wand'ring feet have sought, The last receptacle of him, who once Was great and good—alas! how far be- yond The reach of common nature—his it was To blend each nobler quality which forms The soldier, statesman, and endearing friend In happy union—his the feeling heart Which to the tender charities of life, Beat in kind unison—th' electric power Of genius was his own, in such degree That all stood mute before him—A awful lesson To man's fond vanity—that HAMILTON, Whose wisdom, goodness, valour, were almost Beyond all parallel, has bow'd beneath Death's iron sceptre; and but late en- tomb'd That eye, whose light'ning spoke the soul within; Those lips, whose sounds in pleasing fetters held Each ear attentive, moulder in the dust. Bright dart the moon beams o'er his low- ly grave: And, by their silv'ry light, methinks I read A name to him allied—his eldest hope! Heart-piercing sight, here, side by side, arrang'd, Father and Son lie wrapt in long repose! Alike untimely fallen, victims alike To honour—tyrant of the feeling heart. Oh hapless mother! widow'd wife! what words Can paint thine anguish? Scarce the streaming tears Which deep maternal sorrow taught to flow, Were dry'd from the pale cheek, when this rude blow Struck at the beam of peace that still re- main'd, And tore it from thy breast. May each blest power, Kind guardians of the good, with constant care Support thy grief-worn heart; and resig- nation Upon thy bosom shed her healing dew. For him, who lies, this sacred dust be- neath, Vain is our deep regret—a nation's tears, A nation's prayers could not avail, to add One moment to his life—Yet to ourselves, A soothing, melancholy pleasure springs, From ev'ry tribute render'd to his worth— How just all must know. Fond mem- 'ry still Delights to trace the youthful warrior's steps From field to field; but chiefly loves to dwell On southern plains, where York extends her bounds; Where to the desp'rate charge his troops he led, Then on the vanquish'd foe benignly smil'd. Sure angels, from their bright abodes, look'd down And blest a vic't'ry worthy of a hero, Unmarked with blood's contaminating stain, Valor and Mercy, for his youthful brow, A laurel crown entwined with fairest flow- ers Perennial intermix'd—still shall it bloom, Tho' "cold and motionless" the hand that won it, And to remotest ages give its sweets. But why recount his deeds in war or peace? O'er all Columbia's wide extended shores
His name, long since, was heard. Who did not know In worth and valor few were found his equals— In genius none? Then, be his well- earned fame Confided to a grateful people's care. CLARA.
FROM THE NEW-YORK EVENING POST.  AN IRREGULAR ODE.
Hark! how the passing bell Heaves to the gale its sullen swell. And lo! in sorrow's pomp array'd, To the dull beat of death, The slowly moving cavalcade! The half-suspended breath Scarce frees the struggling sigh; And hallow'd tears bedew mute Beauty's eye—
Now, o'er the mansions of the dead, Behold the solemn-measur'd tread! Around their slumb'ring Hero drawn, The silent Soldiers print the lawn— Now the long blaze
Arrest the gaze; The hollow vaults resound— The blazing sky, The thund'ring ground; The stedfast eye, More eloquent than Pity's flow, Proclaims the Soldier's manly woe. High o'er the scene the curling cloud as- pires, Fraught with a nation's fervid sighs. The mighty incense seeks the skies, And Heav'n approves the scene—for HA- MILTON expires!
The following lines, considered as the production of a young Miss, only twelve years of age, a favorite of General Ha- milton's in his life time, will be read with some interest and approbation.—  ELEGY,
ON THE DEATH OF GEN. HAMILTON.
Hark! while the deep-ton'd, solemn, funeral bell, Proclaims some Chief has bade the world farewell! Mark! now they pay to worth the tribute due, While pitying tears the mournful cheek bedew. Well may they weep, and for his loss de- plore; His country's friend, great HAMILTON's no more! Who will not sigh when virtue meets the doom, And generous worth is summon'd to the tomb? But in the feeling mind he'll ne'er expire, Still crowds shall bless him—blessing still admire; Still shall he live, the favorite of Fame, While thro' the world shall sound his ho- nour'd name; Record the virtues in his soul combin'd, True to his friends, nor to his foes un- kind; Candid as truth, like innocence sincere, Liberal and just, when others faults ap- pear; And when an error, or a vice be found, He scorn'd to add reproaches to the wound. When he fought nobly in his country's cause, 'Twas not ambition of a vain applause, But from pure motives, like a patriot brave, Her rights, her laws, her liberties, to save— Shall, then, Columbia's sons their grief repress? Shall they not all their virtuous hero bless? Who is there now can unconcern'd ap- pear, And from his memory withhold the tear? See, at the tomb, what mournful crowds attend, Oh! patriot, hero, husband, father, friend! Now free from cares, from mad revenge secure, Angels shall waft thee to those regions pure, Where worth like thine shall find its bright reward, And FACTION's murd'rous arm is never rear'd L. L.
