THE HAMILTON Professionalism
curiosity has been excited By the know
ledge of the fact, that the executors OF the
late General Hamilton have been under the
necessity of compelling Mr.. Rufus King,
by suit in chancery, to surrender certain
papers entrusted to his care by General
Hamilton on the eve ofhis fatal duel. We
have been asked what were the nature of
those documents, but, under favor, we
think that point of less importance than the
fact, that Rufus King, lately appointed Il
minister to the first European nation, and
whose personal character, at least, has been
considered fair, should withhold any thing
which does not belong to him, I'he docu-
Inents referred to were evidently Of great
political Importance, because, if purely of
"A domestic nature. Mr.. King could not for
a moment, withhold them from the family.
To this day Mr. Kirg has refused to de-
liver those papers to the executors Of Gen.
Hamilton, and il Is conjectL.ed that they
contain facts and names which may iinpli.
cate the opinions and views of certain pro-
minent men, Of which the sagacity of Mr.
King viii enable him to make profitable
nse. The facts of having tlidse papers en-
trusted TO him; of his refusing to deliver
th .yii TO their lawful owners and of the
chancery suit instituted fer their recovery,
are beyond doubt. Noa.,.

ofthe murder of Capt. West in New York
on circumstantial testimony. and whose
ease excited much interest with the public,
has confessed to q Clergyman that he wes

with 4 greater degree ofspirit; all the uniform
companies of the city elegantly equipped, and
on parade, morning and evening, every spe-
cies of gaming that human invention has dis.
covered; congo dances, and the French thea
tres crowded to overlooking. The Americans
are gradually gaining ground, aud the ola
fopns and customs are giving place TO new
ones. They now enjoy a wen regulareL po-
