family of children to lament his loss-a ioss
which nothing or this side Heaven can
compensate. Honest, frank and manly, he
was esteemed and beloved by all who knew
him. With the ardent feelings OF a revo-
lu,ionary soldier he blended that genuine
philanthropy which endears its possessor to
all mankind. Panegyric bestowed on de-
ceased persons is generally held ct little &C
count. but the friends of WHITING, as

most feelngly pronounced his eulosy' unit

The BRITISH MINISTER applied to

leaving the United States than he had OF
Going any thing fair or honorable, when
he came here. Subsequently, ne published
a declaration, that he intendedto make n.

he resides and not in New York. There
appears to be a fatality about the man, of
SO strange kind, that he cannot write or
publ sh upon the most trivial subject, VITA
out violating truth.
We arc now amused with rumor, that
Mr. Jackson has received letters announc..
