1T is with deep regret that. we an
nounce the death Of the Hon. MAJoE
GENERAL PHILIP SCHUYLER, Fa-
ther-in-law to the late Alexander Hamil.
ton, on Sunday evening last, in the us
year Of his Aga man, eminent for
his useful labours, in the military and
civil affairs ofhis country. Distinguish
ed BY strength Of intellect, extensive
knowledge, soundness and purity Of mo-
raj and political principles. He was a
practical, not theoretical statesman !;
an active, not a visionary patriot. He
was wise in divising, enterprising and
Persevering in the execution of plans of
great and public utility. Toe Intelligent
to found his notions Of political or civil
government, upon the Perfe ctibility of
man, or upon any other views Of the hu.
man character, than those derived from
the experience of ages: And too honest
to tell the people, that their liberties
could be preserved in any other way, than
BY the Wholesome restraints of consti.
tuition and laws, energetic, yet free:
In private life, he was digni6ed, but
courteous in his manners, hospitable +;
4 pleasing and instructive companion ;
ardent and sincere in his friendships;
aaectionate in his domestic relations,
and Just in his dealings.
The death Of such man is truly a
sub ect ofprivats apd of public sorrow.
On Wednesday his remains werr en-.
tered, with military honors, in the fami.

eight families.

Of the public property within ten miles of
Mine Burton, Surveys Of all the lands
