16 General HAM' LION says, he cannot imagine
to what Dr. COOPER may have alluded, unless it
were to a conversation at Mr. •TAyLott's, in Al.
bany, last winter (at which Mr. TAYLOR, he, and
Gen. 1-1, were present). Gen. HAMILTON cannot
recoiled distindly the particulars of that conver.
sation, so as to undertake to repeat them, without
running the frisk of. varying, or omitting what
might be deemed important circumstances. The
expressions are entirely forgotten, and the specific
ideas imperfedly remembered; but to the best of
his recolledion, it consisted of comments on the
political principles and views of. Col. Bout, and
the results that be expelled from them in the
event of his eledion as Governor, without refe.
rence.to any particular instance of past condult, or
to private charAfier."
After the delivery of the Letter of the 22d, as
above mentioned, in another interview 'with Mr.
V. N. he desired Mr. P. to give him, in writing,
the substance of what he had proposed on the part
of Gen. HAM I LTON ; which. Mr. P. did in the words
following :
"6 In answer to a letter properly,adapted to oh.
tain from General HAM I Lro m a declaration whe.
Cher he had charged Colonel 13tiatt with any parti.
cular instance of dishonourable conduit, or.had im-
peached his private charader, either in the conver.
sation alluded to by Dr. COovik, or in any parti.
cular instance to be specified :
"He would be attic to answer consistently with his
honour, and the truth, in substance, that the con-
versation to which Dr. COOP ER alluded, turned
wholly on political topics, and did not attribute to
Colonel BURR any instance, of dishonourable con.
dud, nor relate to his private charader : and in re.
lation to any other language or conversation of
General H. which. Colonel Butts. will specify, a
prompt and frank avowal or denial wilt be given."
On the etith June, Mr. P. received the following
Letter:

1-lANtlu-roN‘ to come tota .satiaadory accommoda-
tion., The injury complained of, and the repara.
Jinn expreted, are se definitely expressed in Cot.
BURR'S letter of the- *lst inst: that there is not
perceived a necessity for further explanation on his
part. The-difficulty that would result from confin.
ing the inquiry to any particular tithes and occa.
sions must be manifest. The denial of a specified
conversation only, would leave strong implications
that on other occas:tins improper language had been
used. When and where injurious opinions and ex.
pressians have been uttered by General HAMILTON,
must be best known to him—and of him only will
Col. BURR inquire. No denial or declaration will
be satisfattory unless it be general, so as wholly to
exclude the idea, that rumours derogatory to Col.
BURR'S honour have originated with General HA.
MILTON, or have beets fairly infetred from any,
thing lie has said. A definite reply to a requisition
of this nature was demanded by Col. BURR'S letter
of the 31st hist.; this being refused, invites the
alternative alluded to_ in General HAMILTON'S letter
of the toth.

It was required by the position in which the con.
troversy was placed by General HAMILTON on Fri.
day last, and I was immediately furnished with a
communication demanding a personal interview.
The necessity ,of this measure has nor, in the opi.
nits!) of Col. Bulk, been diminished by the Gent.
tai's last letter, or any communication that has since
been received. lam consequently again instrutcd
to deliver you a message, as soon as it may be con.
venient for you to receive it. I beg, therefore,
you will be so good as to inform me at what hour
I can have the pleasure of seeing you.

SIR, JIM 26, 1804.
I have communicated the Lester which you did
me the honour to write to me, of this date, to Ge.
neral HAstiLTON. The expettatii3ns now disclosed,
on the part of Colonel BURR, appear to him to have
greatly extended the original ground of inquiry, and
instead of presenting a particular and definite case
for explanation, seem to aim at nothing less than an
inquisition into his most confidential conversations,
as well as others, through the whole period of his
acquaintance 'with Colonel BURR.
While he was prepared to meet the particular
case fairly and fully, ,he thinks it inadmissible that
he should be expetted to answer at large as to every
thing that he may possibly have said in relation to
the charaCter of Colonel Buss., at any time,. or
upon any occasion. Though he is not conscious that
any charges which arc in circulation, to the preju.
dice of Colonel BURR, have originated with him,
except one which may have been so cons'.
dered, and which has long • since been fully ex-
plained between Colonel Buita and himself 7-.
yet he cannot consent to be questioned general..
ly as to any rantomrs which may be afloat derogatory
to the charaaet of Col. BURR, without specification
of the several turnouts, many of them probably un-
known to. him. He dues not, however, mean to
authorize any conclusion as to the real nature of his
condutt in relation to Col. Buzz, by his declining
so loose and vague a basis of explanation, and
he disavows an unwillingness to come to satisfaCtory,
provided it be an honourable, accommodation. His
objection is, the very indefinite ground, which Col.
Bulls has assumed, in which he is sorry to be able to
discern nothing short of predetermined hostility:
Presuming, therefore, that it will be adhered to, he
has instructed me to receive the message which you
have it in charge to deliver. For this purpose I
shall be at home, and at your command, to.murrow
morning from
.eight to ten o'clock.
I have the honour to be, respeCtfully,
Your obedient Servant,

spa,' •
The letter which I had the honour to receive
from you, under date of yesterday, states, among
other things, that in General HAMILTON'S opinion,
Colonel BURR has taken a very indefinite ground,'
in which he evinces nothing short of predetermined
hostility, and that General flmatt.ToN thinks it
inadmissible that the inquiry shoti!ti extend to his
confidential as well as other conversations. To This
Colonel BURR can only reply, that secret whispers,
traducing his fame and impeaching his honour, are
at least equally injurious with rlanders publicly ut.
tered. That General H. had at no time, and in no
place, a right to use any such injurious expressions ;
and that the partial negative he is disposed to give,
with the reservations he wishes to make, are proofs
that he has done the injury specified. ' .
Col. Burin's request was, in the first instance,
proposed in a form the most simple, in order that
Gen. H. might give to the affair that course try
which he might be induced by his temper and his •
knowledge nt fads. Col. BURR trUSteti, with confi..
dence,• that from the frankness of a soldier, and the
candour of a Gentleman, he might expect an. inge-
nuous declaration. That if, as lie had reason to
believe, Gen. H. had used expressions derogatory to
his honour, he would have had the magnanimity to
retractthem ; and that if, from his language, inju.
rious inferences ,had been improperly, drawn, he
would have perceived the propriety of corretting
errors which might•thus have been widely diffused.
With these impressiOns, Col. Butta • was greatly
sutprized at receiving a letter which he considered
as evasive, and which, in a manner, he deemed not
altogether decorOus. In one expettation, h.iwever,
he was not 'wholly deceived, for the close of Gen.
H's. letter contained an intimation that if Col..
BURR should dislike his refusal to aeknowltege or
deny, he was ready to meet the consequences.
This Col. BURR deemed a sort of defiance, and
would have felt justified in making it the basis 'of,
an immediate message. But as the comMunicatinn
contained something concerning the indefiniteness
of"the request, as he believed it rather the offspring
of false pride than of tefiettion, and as he felt the
utmost reluetance to proceed to extremities while
any other hope remained, his request was repeated
•in terms mbre,explicit. The replies and proposi-
' titins ou the Nit of Gen. HAMILTON haveiin Col,

With this letter, a message has teceived,. such
as was to be expefted, containing an invitatiott,
which was accepted ; and Mt. P. informed Mr.
V. N. he should heat from hiM next day as to futurt
particulars.
This letter was delivered to Gen..H. on the sane
evening, anti a very short conversaticrn ensued
tween him and Mr. P. who•was to call on him catty
the next morning for a further conference. Winn
he did so, Gen. H. said, he bad not understood 'wile_
ther the message anti answer was definitively con_
chided, Or whether another meeting was- to take
place ftr that purpose between Mr. Y. aid Mr. V.
ift4del the latter -impression, and as the last
letter contained ma.tter that naturally led to ani.
madvetsion,..he gave Mr. P. a pap'er of remarks, in
his awn haud.writing, to be communicated at Mr.
V. N. if 'the state of -the'atfair tendered it proper.
In the farther Interview with Mr. V. N. that
day; after explaining the causes which had induced
Gen. lifsratl.Tort to suppose that the state of the
affair did not render it improper,' he ofrered this
paper to Mr. V. N.—but he declined receiving, ir,
alledgirtg that he considered the Correspondence
closed by the acceptance of the message tie delivered.
Mr. P. informed Mr, V. N. of the inducements
mentioned by General fiamttroti in those remarks,
for the postponing the meeting until the close of the'
Circuit ; and as this was uncertain, Mr. P. was hr
let him know when it would be convenient.
On Friday, the 6th of July, the Circuit heine
closed, Mr. P. gaVe this information, and that Genf.`
HAMILTON would he ready at anytime after the
Sunday following. On Monday the particulars were
arranged, and the Public are but too well.acquainted
with the sad result.

The paper above alluded to is as follows :

H.
Remarks on the Letter of June 27, 1804.

Whether the-observations on this Letter are de.:
signed merely to justify the result which is indicat.
eel in the close of the Letter, 'or may be intended to
give an opening for rendering any thing explicit
which may have been deemed vague heretofore, can
only be judged of by the sequel.. At any rate, 'it
appears to me necessary tilt to be niisunderstood.
Mr. PE SDI, ETON is, therefore, authorited to say,
that, in the course of the present discussion, writ..
ten or verbal, there has been no intention to evade,
defy, or insult, but .a sincere disposition to avoid
extremities, if it could be done with:propriety.
With this view General IL had been ready- to en.
ter into a frank and free explanation on any and
every subje& of a specific nature; but nut to an..
swer a general and abstraet inquiry,' embracing a
period too long for any accurate recolleaion, and
exposing him to unpleasant criticism's from, or un-
pleasant discussidns with any, and every person who
may have understood him in an unfavourable sense.
This (admitting that he could " answer in a manner
the most.satisfaciory to Colonel Bursa) he should
deem inadmissible in principle- and precedent, and
humiliating in praglice. To this, therefore, he can
never submit.

Frequent allusion 'has been made to slanders said
to be in circulation. Whether they are openly or
in whispers, they have a form and shape, and 'might
be specified.
If the alternative alluded to in the close of the
letter is definitively tendered, it must be accepted ;
the time, place, and manner, to be afterwards rep,
'med. I should not think it right, in the midst of
a Circuit Court, to withdraw my services from
thosi who may have confidedimportant interests to
me, and expose them to the embarrassment of seek.
ing other Counsel, who may not have time to be
sufficiently bastruded` in their causes. I shall also
want a little time to nuke some arrangement re.
speding my qwn- affairs.

The following is the narr4iive of the Duel, the General's
Will,

DUEL.

COlnno BURR arrived first on the ground, as had
beep previously agreed ; when General HAM r LTorf
iiiived; the miles exchanged saint at ions, and the Se.
coeds mceeded to make the:, Thar
Measure 4 the distance, ten full paces, lino cask iuid
far "the aoice of position,' as also to deter Mine by
whom the word should he givens; both of which fell
to the Second of General HAMILTON. They then
proceeded to load the pistols in each others presence,
after which the parties took their stations. The
Gentleman who- was to give the word, then ex.
plained to the. parties 'the rules which were to
govern them in firing, which were as follows
The parties being placed at their stations,
the Second who gives the word .shall ask them
whether they are ready; being answered in the.
atlizmative; he shall say s' presort ;" alter this the
patties shall present and fire when they please. If
one fifes before the other, the opposite Second shrill
say one, two, three, lite,--and he shall then fire
lose hi, fire."-,—He theft ;piked it theYwere prepared?
being answered in the affirrmative he gave the word
',petit, as was agreed on ; both parties pre,..ented,
ticid' lived in succession.; the intervening time is not.
exprevsed, as the Sectulas do not precisely Agree on
that point. The fire of Colonel BURR took eff.,et,
and Genral 1-lArat LTnti almost instantly fell. Coc,
BURR then 'advanced towards General titoti t-Tot,
with a manner and. geslttte that appeared( to Geivetea
HAMILTON's tritod to be expressive of regret, but,
without speaking, turned Diwut, withdrew,
ing urged trurri ;he field by hit iti.:lli3) as has been

subsequently stated, with a view to prevent m 3
being recognized by the surgeon and bargemen, who
were then approaching. No Int thh communication
tt,ok place between the Plincipals, and the barge
that carried Colonel Busts immediately returned to
the city. We conceive it proper to alt.', that the
conduit of the pavies in this interview was perfeCt-
Iy proper, and suited the occasion.—(Netul'ork
Chronicle, 7uly 19.)
The tAlowing paper, in the hand.wriring of Ge.
nerai-Flasat LION, wag inclosed with his Will, and
some other papers in a packet addressed to one of
his Executors, which was of course not to have
been delivered but in case of the melancholy event
that has happened. As it contains Isis motives and
rtfleCiions on the causes that have led to this fatal
catastrophe, it is deemed proper to communicate it
to the public.
On my expeeted interview with Colonel Bu RR, I
think it proper to make some remarks explanatory
of my Conduel, motives, and views.
I was certainly .desirous of avoiding this inter-
View, for the most cogent reasons.
t. My religious and moral principles are strong.
ly opposed to the pradice of duelling, and it would
ever give me pain to be obliged to shed the blond
of a fellow creature, in a private combat forbidden
by the laws..
• 2. My wife and children are extremely dear to
me, ,and my life is of the utmost importance to
them, in various views.
3. I feel a sense of obligation towards. my Cre.
ditors, who, in case of accident to me, by the forced
sale of my property, may br in some deer*.sulTel.
ers. I did not think myself at liberty; as' a man
of probity, lightly to expose them to tiffs hazard.
4. lam conscious of no ill will CO CAI. Bykß,
CrlStiod from political opposition, which, as I trust,
has proceeded tromiure and upright motives.
Lastly, I shall hazard much, and can possibly
gain nothing by the issue of the interview.
Bur it was, as I conceive, impossible for me to
avoid it.
There were istritts;c difficulties in the thing, and
arfijcial embarrassments, !tom the manner of pro.
seeding on the part of Colonel Buzz.
Intrinsic, because it is not to be denied, that my
animadversions'on the political principles, charaEler,
and views of Colonel Buzz, have been extremely
severe; and on different occasions, I, in common
with many others, have made very unfavourable
criticisms on particular inpances of the private con.
duel of this Gentleman.

In proportion as these impressioni were entertain.
teal with sincerity, arid uttered with motives and for
purposes which might appear to me commendable,
would he the difticul.ty (until they could be rimoVed
by evidence of their being erriMemas) Of explanation
or apology. The disavowal required of stile by Co.
loncl Buttx, in a general and indefinite form, was
out of my power, if it had really been proper for
me to submit to be so questioned ; but I was sin.
cerely of opinion this could not he, and in this opi.
nion I was confirmed by that of a very moderate
and judicious friend whom I consulted. Besides
that, Colonel Bust appeared to assume, in the
first instance, a tone unnecessarily peremptory and
menacing,, and, in the second positively offensive.
Yet I wished, as far as might he praelicable, to
leave a door open to accommodation. This, I
think, will be inferred from the written cominnuni.
cations made by me and my dirstlion, and would
he confirmed by the conversations between Mr.
VAN Ness and myself, which arose out of the Sub.
1 am not sure whether, under all the circum.
stances, I did not go farther in the attempt to ac.
tommodite than pundilious delicacy will justify.
If so, I hope the motives I have stated will excuse
Me.

It is not my design, by what I have said, to affix
any odium on the condkt of Colonel Butte, in this
ease. He, doubtless, has heard of animadversions
of mine wl..ich bore very hard upon him ; and it is
probable that, as usu,l, they were accompanied with
some falsehood. He may have supposed himself
uncir a necessity of :gib% as he has done. I hope
the grounds of his proceeding have beer such as
ought to sissisfy his own conscience.
I, trust, at the same time, that the world will do
rite' the justice to believe, that I have not censured
him on light grounds, nor from 'in worthy induce.
stunts. I certainly have had strong reasons for what
I may have said ; though it is possible that, in some'
particulars, I may have been influenced by miscon.
sttunion or misiolormarion. It is also my ardent
wish, that I may have been more mistaken than I
think I have lwen, and that he, by his future, con.
deft, may chew himself worthy of all confidence
and esteem, and prove an ornament and blessing to
the Country.
As well because it is possible that I may have in.
kited Colonel Buaa, however convinced myself that
my opioi ,ns and declarations have been well found.
eti, as from my general principles and temper, i 9
latiun to similar affairs, ,have resolved, if our in,
interview is oonanhietl in the usual manner, 4pd it
so give me the opportunity tb reserve
and throw arum, my first fire, and I have'thoirgbt
evert of teterTilig my second fire, and thus giving a
.dabble 'opportunity fur colonel Butt& to paasc and
to retie&
It is not, however, my intention to enter into
any explanations on the ground. Apology, from
principle, I hope, rather than pride, is out of tlw
question.
To those who, with me, abhorring the praelice of
duelling, may think that I ought, on no account, to
have added to the number of bad examples, I an.
ewer, that my relative situation, as well in public as
private, enforcing all the considerations which con.
stitute what men of the world denominate honour,
imposed on me (as I thought) a peculiar necessity
to decline the call. The ability to be in future
useful, whether in resisting mischief or tifeding
good in those crises of our public affairs, Which
seem likely to happen, would probably he inseparl-
able from a conformity with public prejudice in this
partisadar.

WILL.

A. H,

In the name of God, Amen, I, A t,t,x. tt.-ton, of the

I at Will and-IC:4OICM as follows:
First, I appoint joust B. eItURCH, Niennias
and NArna tsLPENDIATON, of the City aforesaid, Esqrs.
to be Executors and Trustees of this my Will, and I devise
!la them, their heirs and assigns, as joint tenants, and not as
tenants in common, all my estate, real and personal whatso-
ever, upon trust, at their discretion, to sell and dispose of the
Sam:, at such time and times, in such manner, and upon
such terms, as they the survivors aid survivor shall think fit,
and out of the proceeds to pay all the debts I shall
awe at the time of my decease; in whole, if the fund he
fficient--;proportionally' if it shall be insufficient ; and the
residue, if' any there shall be, to pay and deliver to my ex-
cellent wife, ELIZABETH HAMILTG•4.
Though it it sitpuld please Cod to spare my life, I may look
for a considerable surplus out of my present property ; yet if
he should speedily call me to the eternal world, a forced sale,
as is usual,maypoasiblyrender it insutlicient to satisfy my debt.
I pray Cud that soniething may rennin for the maintenance
and educaticn Of my dear Wife and Children. But should it,
" on the contrary, happen, that there is not enough tar the
payment of my debts, I entreat my dear Children, if they,
or any of them, should ever be able, to make up the deli.
ciencv 1 without hesitation commit to their delicacy a wish
which is diaated by my own. Though conscious that I have
too far sacr.ficed the interests of my family to public Avoca-
lions, and on this account have less claim to burthen my
Childien, yet I trust in their magnanimity, • to appreciate as
they ought this my request. In so unfavourable an event of
things, the support of their dear Mother, with the most re.
spettlul and tender attention, is a duty, all the sacredness of
which they will feel. Probably her own patrimonial re.
sources will preserve her from indigence ; but in all situa,
tions-they are charged to bear in mind, that she has been to
them the most devoted and the best of mothers.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM SAVANNAH,
APRIL 26.
14 Lest night I was informed that Row F rt.had been
committed to gaol under a State Warrant.. The Of.
fiver waited on him at Cal. SfiELMANI3, and stated,
that he had a Warrant against him—the Judge re.-
quested him to sit down and drink a glass of wine,
which he did, and then desired his Honour would ac.
company him. The Judge iliomiliately blew out the
.candle, vociferating they may all go to hell, Neel.
tattly leit the room, and made his way up stairs-1
he Was pursued, and snapped his pistol at the pursuer,
but it only buint priming. Ensign ANSLPY, of the
Rangers, rushed in to the aid of the Civii Authority,
and the Judge was induced, seeing by the light of
the moon, a sword suspended over hitn, to capita.
late and drop his 'pistols—when brought into the
street it was with great difficulty the Rangers could
prevent his being torn to pieces b), the people
" A Committee appointed to inquire concerning
this judge's conduit, have just coned an examine.
lion of witnesses, from whose evidence it appears,'
that he has repeatedly afted so as to endanger the
public peace and security, that he has been wive
for an immediate release of the Negroes—and has
declared, that within five years he would himself
head them, and put every white to death. It ap.
pears also, that be declared yesterday morning, that
no authority here dare omit him—that if they did,
he had a.force which he could call into operation in
an instant; which would sack the city, and put to
the sword all who did not claim proteCtion under
his standard. These are .almost the very words of
the witness.
