death OF this individual. rendered con
splcuous as the author of Hunters Mar

England. His Book has been the theme
of abundant criticism, both in Neuspa.
pers and Periodicals. He has been
pronounced an imposter, and the charge
appears to have been well Supported,
although the Natchitoches paper is
incredulous on that point II appears
by the account that Hunter was concer.

late unfortunate attempt to revolution

The Government promised to comply

The albany .uurder. evident
concealment by the Albany papers, of
suspicious almost too horrible to be en-
tertained, induces to apprehend that Mr..
Whipple was assassinated under cir
cunstances OF atrocity, which, although
not Unparalleled, causes humanity TO

these from it Mrs. Whipple was the
orphan e and daughter and ward of an
illiberal misery old churl, by whom she
was denied the advantages of society
and educate on to which her fortune emit
tied her. Her property, it is fair TO
presume, attracted suitors, from all %
whom, however, it was understood, her
guardian secluded her She grew inn
patient of restraint, and an Union was
hastily arranged between her aud Mr..
Whipple, by a female friend, and the
parties eloped TO Vermont and were
married.

correct, and we fear they are but too
well founded, the guardian of Mrs. w.
will have fe arful responsibility resting
upon him. Had she been properly ed
ucated, all these horrors would have
been averted, for she was naturally
mild and amiable. Mr.. Whipple was a
