THE LATE GENERAL HAMILTON.

It is difficult to fay what were the prominent fea-
tures in the charafter of this great man. His genius
developed itfelf at an early period of life, and induc-
ed a merchant of relpeetability 'and dircernment, in
whole counting-houfe he was placed, in the Weft-In-
dies, to recommend his quitting that occupation to
purfue hit Bodies at Columbia college, in the State of
New York. He here made aftonithing, peogrefs, and
was engaged in a political difpute with the Prefident,
which was .fo conduEted in the newfpapers, that he
was not difcovered, foi a long time, as the author.—
The war commenced while he was yet a Rodent, and
be raifed a company (we believe, of artillery) with
which he marched to the field, and having his retreat
apparently cut off upon York Mod, difcovered con.
fiderable talent and bravery in extricating himfelf.
He was immediately noticed by General West+ :No.
TON. and taken into his famil y wan Aid de•Camp, and
continued to enjoy his confidence, in a high degree,
during his life; although. from Come irregularities
among the fair fez, of which complaints were made
to the General, by the farmers in the vicinity of the
camp, be found it neceflary to Phew him Tome (eve.
rity ; at leaf!, to indicate that he did not place that
reliance upon him, which a more regular obfervance
of difcipline would have warranted. An inftance of
this was apparent at the liege of York Town, where
an attack being meditated upon two redoubts, cae of
which fell to the lot of LAFAYETTE, and the other,
by the routine of fervice, to HAN mum, as officer of
the day. The General was about to give this IA to
another officer, which coming to the knowledge of
Colonel H. (whether by the intention of the General
or not is not known) he went to Head-quarters, urged
his claim to the honour, and obtainedthe command.
At the dole of the war, be took to the practice of
the law, in which he made a brilliant figure, as well
as in the tegiflature of the State of New York, and
the Congrefs of the United States.—He wrote at this
time his Nodes ; a work, which like all his others, dif-
covered a ttrong mind, enriched by an indult rims ap.
plication to Rudy. He made great efforts to conciliate
the Citizens of the United States with thofe Royalifts
who remained in America at the evacuation of New
Yorks for his politics were always of the liberal call.
3y this means he tendered *Bendel fervice to his
country—preferring to it a number of valuable citi-
sena dad& the new order of things ; and obtained for
Neel,' ate efteem and affeftion of thole who had
been oppofed to hira in politics while the mita lafted.
At the promulgation of the new Contlitution, he
is laid to have been party with Mr. Jar (late Envoy
Extraordinary to this Court), and Mr. MADISON (the
prefent Secretary of State) in publithing the work,
called "The Federalift," which had an excellent ef-
foß in removing objections and eltablifhing the prin.
triples of that Magna Charts in the minds of the peo-
ple. But, though it be difficult to fay- whether he
thole molt in the charade,. of a addict., a lawyer, or
a ftatefman, his arrangement of the finances of the
United States has been the fvhjeift of the higheft and
}nog general commendation. It will fcarcely be
credited by the next generation, that a debt, which
was felling in the market of the finked States at the
depreciated rate of Ist pc• scent. was raifed by his'
Adminiftratioa to 140--an extreme price, to be fore.,
at which it did not Mind lung ; but at 120. millions
were fold even in London ; and from that day to
die pretest, no debt intEitropt has maintained a bet-
ter credit, nor deferred fo good a one. His report
on this fobjeft to the Houle of Reprefentatives will
remain at all times a monument of that verfatility cf
lentos, by which he was enabled to combine the
drudgery:of official detail with the luminous ideas
of general poliej ; and it will be remembered, to his
imtotrtal honour, of which he had the higheft no-
tions, that his fingers were never foiled by any per-
(final gain in there tranfaftions, which offered fo great
hod evident opportunity, and by which his country
was fo much enriched.
The wired CE*AI
" Should be net way dune, but toinirpectof."
With fetch talents, and a film and euergetic man-
ner of announcing his opinions, General Hassizrow
was not likely to eicape the eye of envy—an imbecile
.eff..rt was made to foil his charafler in the public
and to fix upon it that fligma which he moll
defpiled. He wiped ibis away to be lure. but it was
not with a clean napkin—there VMS a Lady in the
cafe—what milchicf is there without' In repelling,
the charge of corruption, he boldly admitted that ot
gallantry; not indeed that he (educed, but was (e-
-duced, and his name was Ass:emote and not Jo.
SlTN—it he a cre only pelted on this occafion by hint
that was without fin, his head would not have been
fo briti:cd but that a mine might fit it; bat it was
plating a powerful werpost in the hands of his eve-
mit, in a country whole manners are not quite Co
rO'eed as in Come parts of Europe • and many of
his friends regretted his avowal of die fait, notwith.
(landing the robe of gallantry
that was thrown over it.
On thole fubjefts which agitated the Government
of the United States during the late war in Europe,
when it was pecelTary to ouferve fo nice a conduit to
avoid ini lt, cr rather to obtain mirth for injuria
received on the one hand. and to keep clear of the
er-nreft co the other, his publications under the figna-
tnre of Pacifiarr had an evident tendency. to calm the
; Llic n•ind ; nor tan it he d. silted that his Conn.
tils in the Cabinet of the United States had their due
weight in. promoting the bloodlefs mode of
dt..!eriecs wiawut cr mprt mifmg the lienour of the
nation, in which that infant country has let an cz•

The late TIMOTHY CURTIS, Efq. of Homerton,
was one of the largeft men in the kingdom, and his
weight, fume years ago, was upwards of 34 (lone.
Under the medical fupetintendance of Mr. Vaux,
he reduced himfelf to (tone withing is months, but
it was not thought advifeable for him to attempt to
leffen himfelf (WI more. He has left a confiderable
fortune.
Yefterday, as two tailors were going to a (hip ly-
ing off the Red H.,iiie, at Deptford, they were
hailed by three men aimed with cutlaffes in a police

A Seffions will be held at Guildhall on the 1611

A very extraordinary and fatal accident occurred
on Sunday, at the houfe of Mr. HOIMAN, confec-
tioner, in Bithopfgate-ftreet. It appears, that about
two o'clock in the afternoon, one of the Ilsopmen
having occafion to go down to the ice-well to fetch up
ice, by foam means let fire to a quantity of ftraw
which covered it. The arew being damp did not
burft forth into a flame, but continued to burn in a
(mothered (late : the mall di I all he could to extin.
pith the fire, but witho=ut rifeEt ; and it extended
itfelf all over the well. tf.; this time the man be-
came In ill and faint, l'oan if..e (tench atifing from
the damp ftraw, that it W.II v =ih difficulty he efcaped
fuffreation. When lie reached the top of the well he
was hill exceedingly ill, Anti went to bed, but with-
out mentioning to any one what had happened.—
After tome time, being confiderahly recovered, he
grit up and communicated the whole of the affair to
his fellow.fervant, and mentioned his determination
to go down to the well agsin, to make a fecund ef-
fort to put out the fire. lie.accendingly went, and
having remained there a confiderable time, his fel-
low.tervant called him from the top f the well, and
not receiving any anfwer, be became extreasely
alarmed, and imparted his fears t a porter belong-
ing to the London Tavern, which is direaly oppofite
Mr. Hoffman's. The potter immediately went down
into the well to fee what had become of the an,
whom he found to ail appearance dead; an?rtr:ogh
he himfelf was greatly affected by the I'm its, he
thought he fhould be able to being the deceit fed to
the top of the ladder, upon his (boulders. The poor
fellow had nearly fucceeded in his humane intention,
and was within a fhort diltance of the top. when be
was obliged to throw the corpfe from off his (boul-
ders, and it fell to the bottom of the well. The por-
ter himfelf was fo completely overcome by the (tench.
that lie was not able to keep his hold of the ladder,
and almoll at the fame moment dropped down him-
(elf. The man at the top was dreadfully agitated,
sad alarmed the whole houfe. As it was now (up
poled that the fire had nearly (pent itfelf, and that
there was lets Danger, a perfon was found, who of-
fered to venture clown into the well, to fave if ?af-
fable, the life of the porter who fell from the ladder ;
it was, however, too late; the man was found to be
deed. This petfon was down only a fhort time be-
fore he began to exoelience the ill effeas of the foul
air ; and notwithhanding he made the belt of his way
to the ladder, he vas In completely overpowered by
the (leach, as to be unable to get to it. In a (lion
