TUESDAY MOUN1NG, OCTOBER 13, 1810. The Meeting on Nnturduy Evening! The Whig Meeting on Saturdny evening last nt the Cluy Club House wag what may be justly called Rous er AVi. 2. The Club House was again well filled, and wo never saw nn audience hold together better. Deep interest pervaded the assemblage throughout; muni felted again and again by outbursts of applause. Mr. Tekshalb opened, occupying about an hour and fifteen minutes. The news from Baltimore was then announced by Mr. Adams. Next followed A F. Pun ry, Esq., whoso remarks on the Black Laws were received as their truthfulness deserved. Wm. Dkki-on, Esq. was culled to the floor, hut excused himself on account of illness. Hon. John Woods closed, occupying throe quarters of an hour, in a speech full of inteiestand sl'iring appeals. Committees were appointed whose duly it was made to stand at the polls and see that every Whig vote is brought out. These committees have responsible duties to perform ; we truHt they will see- them well performed.Miirylntid Complete A Grent and Glorious Victory. The Baltimore American of Saturday morning received Inst evening, with the Sun and other papers, gives us complete returns from the Maryland Election. The Senate stands 111 Whigs to 8 Locos. The House stands 5:1 Whigs to 2i Locofocos. Last year it stood 4IJ to Hit; showing a Hear gain of TEN in that body ! Mr. Keyser, the Whig candidate for Senator lias a majority of 3 instead of 1 in Baltimore city, as stated in our Extra yesterday. That is glory e-nough for one day ! Well may our sister State call on Ohio to emulate her glorious example ! We will do it! The Glorious Xews In another column, from MARYLAND, CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE and MAINE, was issued in an Extra from this office soon after daylight yes-terduy morning, electrifying every Whigheart. Honor to the good old Maryland Line, was the ejaculation tn the lips of hundreds. Wu expected good tidings from Maryland, but we did not venture to hope that, standing as it does within a few miles of the Capital and in the very meshes of Executive patronage and power, Baltimore would overcome a Locofoco majority of ONE THOUSAND, and brand with her disapprobation the doings of ihu late Congress, by the election of a Whig Senator and two Representatives one of the latter the firm, able and eloquent friend of the Tariff of HI2, who was defeated last year as a condi-dale for Congress in a District that on Wednesday last gave a WHIG majority of SIX HUNDRED ! And then to think of a Whig gain of 12 in a Legisla ture that was largely WhigiUsl year. This is doing up business Kentucky fashion. Noble littlo DELAWARE too! every county Whig ! The Old Blue Hen has gathered her chick ens to some purpose this time. Her great soul de serves a larger bdy. Well done ! Well done little Delaware. " Revolutions never go backwards !" Each pasting week bears testimony to the truth of the declaration. At every point victory has perched on our banner! Scarcely doei the shout of exultation cease over victory achieved in one quarter before it is eclipsed by a victory at another point. 1 Ins administration is doomed! It has been weighed and found wanting. Its wicked and reckless policy never can receive the sanction of a free and virtuous people. What Whig of Ohio will falter with such cheering incitements to fidelity and zeal ? Let us send bick a shout that will start tho E.upire State from her Locofoco mooring and tell of a country Redeemed ! Regenerated ! and Disenthralled I Latest from Miituet The returns from Maine as received through the New York pnpers lust evening, exhibit the following result: Whigs Til; Locofocos 47. We still hold our own in gains. Truly, day seems to be breaking in Maine! Wu begin to indulge cheering hope of a Whig majority there. Mr. TOD'S ll PLH'ITY. We have just seen a letter from Summit co. containing a confirmation of the statement that Mr. Ton did say to Ltu MTr.R Kisu, of Trumbull co., that he was IN FAVOR of the repeal of the tllack hues! Mr. Lewis, the Liberty candidate for Governor, mentioned the fact in this city, a few weeks since ; and Mr. Kino's son reiterated at Akron tho declaration with an expression of aiuaxement at the intelligence just received there that Mr. Tod had come out in the no u ill pail of the State against Repeal ! Who could confide in such a man t Who will sanction such duplicity t Itiiinous Operations or tho Tariff of IN 10 1 Disastrous and digressing in the last degree, is the intelligence that continues to reach us in reference to the operations of the New Tariff. Why has this distress and suffering been brought upon so many of the honest laborers of the country? Why is it? Who gains by it? Tho intelligence from England leaves no doubt on that point. There is rejoicing there, bi t itot iir.na. Factori!-. HTofrrn. Prior to the passage of Mr. Mr Kay's tariff bill, there were five cotton factories at Fairmouut, in active operation, and two more in which new machinery had just been put to start. Out of this number the three principal ones are now st a dead stand still, and the others are doing literally nothing At least tillO looms have lieen slopjicd and liMMI hands, including men, girls and children thrown out of employment. The cause is the limited market which the prospective working of the Tariff of '4G has already produced. The goods which these mills manufacture were ptain cotton rloilis for printing. The market price under the Tariff of '42 was r4 cents the fabric costing 4 cents tu produce it. Now the market pnee is :ts cents, less than the actual cost of the good at the pnre of labor given under the Tariff f '42. We are assured by the proprietors of these factories that they will not Iw side again tn resume operations, unless at a very great reduction of the wages formerly paid to their operatives. It is out o llie question lor mem lo manufacture at the present price of labor. I'hilad. .inter, Tiik Laihkh O ahl am i and 'fimiy.U'tjfniinf.

From the Baltimore Patriot of October 0, Brilliant Whig Victory. Tho announcement which we make, this inorninir of the result of the election in Baltimore, will send a thrill of joy through every Whig heart in the Union ! It is that the Whig parly yesterday achieved a most brilliant victory, electing the State Senator and two monidcrs ot llie Mouse ot Delegates, m this city, where in IH-14, the Whigs were beaten by over 1000 votes I Such a triumph we have never before hud the heart-felt joy of announcing, and wo have no words to express the enthusiasm of the eoplc as the glad tidings was announced to them from our office last night. Tho vote is very close up to the last moment the victory hung in the balance, and when nt last all the returns were received, and the fact deriumtrated that the Whig Senator was chosen, and that two of tho V lug Delegates, and one of these. John P. Kennedy. the distinguished advocate of tho Tariff of 142, a shout went up, the echo nf which we might well fancy reached the Allegnnies. The first fifteen wards of the cify constitute the Congressional District, and the Whig majority in it is most decisive nearly ii'MW This district is now re pre-sented by Mr. Giles, (Locofoco,) who voted for the in rut oi into! tto may read llie handwriting on tho ill.

The Editor of the Gaiette has battled manfully against the new tax law ; and certainly he might to be praised for it ! We are almost inclined to join hun 1'niluru of the Oakland Co. Dunk. This Michigan Institution has gone by tho Board, as wo announced in our Exlrayesterday morning. Its circulation is said to be about $:10,000, most of which has been paid out within a short time for Wheat What amount of assets the institutioa has, wc arc not advised. W. Tkukhuail was the principal manager and owner of the affair. He has made an assignment to D. Stuart and N. Lawson. Ho ha issued notice that he will, if the assets of the Bank are not sufficient, give up his own private property, which will cover the whole amount of indebtedness. He cau tions owners of the paper against sacrifices of the paper. So great was the indignation at this renewed evidence of the utter unsoundness of the Michigan Banks and tho System on which they are based, public meetings wcru called for the purpose of seeking summary redress. Mr. Truesdail was properly placed under arrest. What do the people think of the prospect of having such a Currency filling up the channels of business in this Stale again. Truesdail was connected with the St. Clair Bunk at the time of its failure, and he will doubtless rejoice at the prospect of a larger field of operations should Locofocoism triumph in this State. It is known to all that Michigan has-been Locofoco for ninny years. All the Banks that have exploded in that Stale were created by Locofoco Legislatures, says the Detroit Advertiser. The St. Clair Bank was created by that party, and they have shown their regard for public interest by refusing, on all occasions, to t'irow safeguards around their tottering institutions. fhero is littlo if any Oaklund paper ill this 8 lute, thanks to our Banks. They refused several months since to receive Michigan paper. Yet the people of Ohio are asked to casl their votes This Day for David Tod who is pledged to the Deslructicn of all the Ohio Banks, and who (should ho be successful) will open the way for another flood of foreign trash ! Foreign Labor and Foreign Cunency against Home Labor and a Home Currency is the issue! The Detroit .Hctrtincr (WiiMi) thus exposes the course of the Locofocos of that Slate in regard to Batiks and Banking: "The government of this State the party which has hud the power here fur years during these repeat ed bank failures is deeply obnoxious to the charge of, neglecting tho people s interests ana sateiy. we have repaetedly called upon the Legislatures, nnd we urged il over and again upon the last, to compel the banks to provide security for bills out in circulation. We have asked the Democratic leaders who pretend to be distrustful of hunks to urtre upon their party a system similar U that of the Gcm-rul Banking Law of New York, compelling each bank to deposite secur ly stocks of the United Slates, or of interest paying Slates with some Stale ollicers, dollar for dollar to the amount of the bank's circulation which circulation should be countersigned by the ollicers holding the securities. If this hud been done two years ago, thousands of dollars would have been saved to the people of this stale. Such a system can be so guarded as to render the bill holder perfectly secure; nothing of the kind has, however, been attempted. All sorts of Legislation fur banks has been undertaken by the party bank charters have been granted, amended and renewed, but in no instance among all the bank failures, has a provision of safely been suggested by a single Locofoco iourual in the Stale. " To cap the climax nf Bank favoritism, the Locofoco party this year has put in nomination for both Houses nt the legislature not only men " eilucau'U within the pale nf Bunk influences," but actually being within Bank parlors, with charters of the old irresponsible character in their pockets, ready to be pro ofed and urged upon tho next Legislature. A Htirrins; Appeult The fires of political enthusiasm are lighted in New York as they were in 1KH when she set 111 motion the tide that swept through the country with irresistible might, until the venerated HARRISON was n 140 placed in the Presidential Chair. There was on Wednesday last a tremendous gathering in New York City, to ratify the Whig nominations for Governor, &c. Such ciithusiom has hardly been witnessed before since 1H40, as exhibited itself at that time. Peal after mal went up as the nominations were announced. 1'wo meetings were organ tied and speaking was going on at the some time from two stands, as it was impossible for the immense assemblage all to hear the speak- ngatone stand.

Again, with war, and efforts In destroy credit, the poor man's capital, comes another revolution, propw. a in the maimer of levying and taxing tunics at our A Strong Case. Under the present Banking law, the Commercial Rank of Cincinnati, one of the independent Banks, pays taxes thus Its capital is 3:1,000 dollars. The amount of its tax is Ilu7 dollars aud 87 cents. Now what amount of tux would this bank, with her IW,(tl)0 dollars capital, have to pay under Hartley's Bunking law. That law assessed a tax of one-half of one per cent. 011 the capital stock paid in. One half of one percent, on 33, 1100 dollurs, is just Ititi dollars! Thus it appears, that a bank under the present banking law, with a capital of ;t3,(IOU dollurs, pays mure tax by 101)2 dollars and n7 cents, than the same bank with the same capital, would have to pay under Hartley's law. Tho Locofoco party are now horrified at the outrageous oppressions heaped upon the people by the present tax law, whtlut, as they assert, the rich banker is exempt. But they entirely forget, that they themselves, when in power, passed a Banking law which only taxed the Banker Ui.") dollurs, on a cupitul of 33,-(11)1) ! ! ! Now they cry out against the Wings, charging llie 111 with dishonesty, corruption, swindling motives, and almost every thing else in the whole catalogue of crime, because they do not tax the Banker as much as other citizens, when the fact is, the Banker is made to pay under the present system, by the case before us, more than skve timks as much; i. 0., wiiere Hartley's bill taxed the banker onk holla it, the Whig bun It luw taxes him more than tr.vr.H. This, we admit, is a strong case, but it is nevertheless true ; for under the two systems, the lax on the Rank in question, would have been in the exact proportion wu have mentioned. The ense of this Bank illustrates, most clearly, the propriety of taxing Banks on their profits, and not on their stock Were this Bunk located in Dayton, and its capital taxed as other properly, it would pay this year only (HiD dollars tax. Iu Cincinnati, it would we believe, pay a little less. But taxed 011 its profits, it pays 1107 dollars and b7 cents.

A correspondent of the National Intelligencer, who-K ascc ntieu llie itiisstssippi and uino iroin tiew urienns, thus speaks of a visit which he paid to the great Statesman of the West: 11 Ashland is about two miles from Lexington, an old fashioned mansion, and after catching a view of it at some distance, is suddenly hid among tho lofty trees that almost surround it. When our party reached tho gate, which stood wide open, no house could be seen ; we entered it, and winding through the copse, Ashland in all its beauty flushed upon us. We had scarcely entered his hall when Mr. Clay came to greet us with his bland smile and cordial shake of the hand, which made 111c, at least, feel as if 1 were at home. The grounds of Ashland are in a high state of cultivation, and it would do a former good to look upon them He boasted not of it but some of his neiglibora told me that Mr. Clay stands " A No. I," (as wo merchants say) especially in cultivating and putting up hemp; and, from all I heard and witnessed, I dure say he is as well qualified to impart useful information to the cultivators of the soil us he is to enlighten us on the great political questions of the age. There he sat at Ashland in a plain farmer's dress, discoursing with his accustomed frankness on many subjects, and sometimes giving utterance to sentiments that other men should write books upon, but not an unkind expression towards any individual, whether privute or public, escaped his lips. Tunc has laid but a sparing hand upon the great American statesman. I never saw hill) look better or happier; his step is elastic, bis faculties appear fresh aud vigorous, and the chances are that he will live to witness the election ot several resi dents." Dr. Franklin' Views on the I'lllity mid Ne cessity ol a Tuner Currency. In the memoirs of Dr. Franklin, written hy him self, we find the following About this tune ()2.H there was a cry among the people for more paper money; only fifteen thousand pounds tK'ing extant in the piovincc and that soon to be sunk. The Wealthy inhabitants opposed any addi tion ; being against ell paper currency, from the ap prehension that il would depreciate as it hud done in New England to (he injury of creditors. We have discussed this point in our junto, when I was on the side of an addition, being persuaded that the first small sum struck in 1723, had done much good by increasing the trade, employment and number of inhabitants in the province; since I now saw all the old houses inhabited, and many new ones building; whereas I remembered well when 1 first walked about the streets of Philadelphia (eating my roll) 1 saw many of the houses in Walnut street, between Second and Fourth streets, with hills on their doors to let;' and many, likewise in Chesuut street and other streets, winch made me think the inhabitants of the city one after another were deserting it. Our debutes possessed me so fully of the subject, that I wrote and printed an anonymous pamphlet on il, entitled The nature and necessity of puer currency.' Il was well received by the common people in general; but the rich men disliked it, for it increased and strengthened the clamor for more money; and Ihey happening lo have no writers among the in who were able to answer it, their opposition slackened; and the point was carried by a majority of the House. My friends there, who cmitiitlered 1 had been of some service, thought tit to reward me by employing me in printing the money ; a very profitable job, and a great help to me this was another advantage gained by being able tn write. The utility of this currency became by time and experience, so evident, that the principles iinn which il was founded, was never afterwards much disputed ; so thai it grew soon to filly-five thousand pounds ; and in 17W, to eighty thousand pounds; trudr, building and inhabitants all the while inert asing though I now think there are limits beyond which the quantity inny he hurtful.' These were the opinions of Dr. Franklin nn this subject; and we have given all that he wrote in his memoirs not garliled cxtrarts os our opponents do when quoting the opinions of distinguished men upon this matter of currency. Franklin wrote this more than lorty years after the emission of paper currency of which he speaks, hud taken place ; and this lung experience and observation, it seems, had confirmed mm in tlie opinion that a paper currency was highly liencftcial tn the laboring classes that it gave them employment, improved the country, and built up towns. Having accidentally mot with a detailed account of the celebrated duel, nut generally access 1 hie, says the Kuieigh Jlegister, we have thought the narrative might not be unintcrrestiug to our readers. It will be recollected thut in the violent party politics consequent upon tlie state of things alter tlie close ol tho Involution, that those two gentlemen, each holding prominent positions, were politically opposed to each other. Jn June, jhuj Lol liurr, then v ice rresiueni 01 the United States, addressed the following letter to n. Hamilton, requiring Ins acknowledgment or de nial of the use of any expression derogatory to his honor : Nkw York, June IS, 1M04. Sir t I send for vour nerusal a letter Binned Charles D. Cooper, which, though apparently published some time ago, has but very recently come to my knowl edge. iir. van m-ss, who dues me tne lienor 10 ae-liver this, will point out to you that clause of the letter to which 1 particularly request your attention. You must perceive, sir. tho necessity of a prompt and unqualified acknowlengment or denial of the use of any expression which would warrant the assertions ot Or. Cooper. 1 nave the honor to be your obedient servant, Gen. Hamilton. A. BUBR. Which received from General Hamilton the follow ing reply INkw York, June u, Jnu4-8m: I have maturely reflected on the subject of your letter of the lMth inst., and the more I have reflected the more 1 have become convinced that 1 could not, without manifest impropriety, make the avowal or disavowal which you seem to think necessary. 1 tie clause pointed out tiy Mr. van Pi ess is in these terms : " 1 could detail to you a tttil wore ttrtpinihlt pinion which General Hamilton has ernrrtitl oi Mr. Burr." To endeavor to discover the meaning of this declaration, I was obliged to seek, in tho antetedent part of tins letter, for the opinion to which it referred, as having been already disclosed. 1 found it in these words : " General Hamilton and Judge Kent have declared, in tuhstunce, thut they looked upon Mr. Burr lo be a dunireruuM mon, and one who ought not to be trusted with th reins of tiovernmntt." I lie language ot llr. Cootter plainly implies that he considered tins opinion of you, which he attributes to me, as a drtptcuMr one; but he aitirms thai 1 nave expressed sonic other, more dwpirtillc, without, however, mentioning to whom, when, or where. 'Tts evident that the phrase, 11 still more despicable," admits of infinite shades, from very light to very dark. How am to judge 01 thu degree intended or how snail 1 an nex any precise idea to language so indefinite i Between gentlemen, desnirohle and more despicable arc not worth the pains of distinction ; when therefore, you tlo not interrogate me as to the opinion which is specifically asciibed to me, 1 must conclude that you view it as within the limits to which the animadversions of political opponents upon each other may jus tifiably extend, and consequently as not warranting the idea of it which Dr. Cooper appears to entertain II so, what precise intereuco could you draw, as a guide for vour conduct, were 1 to acknowledge hut 1 had expressed an opinion ot you sttft more dtspicttmt than the one winch is particularized r How could you be sure that even this opinion had exceeded the bounds which you would yourself deem admissaulebetween political opponents ? Hut 1 tortiear further comment on the embarrass ment, to which the requisition tliey have made naturally leads. The occasion forbids a more ample illus tration, though nothing could be mure easy than to pursue it. Kcpeating thai 1 cannot reconcile it with propriety to make (he acknowledgement or denial you desire, 1 will add that 1 deem it inathiiissaiiie on principle, to consent to be interrogated as lo the justness of the itifimircs which may be drawn to others from whatever 1 may have said of a political opponent, in the course of fifteen yeurs competition. It there was no other objection to it, this is sufficient, that it would tend to exose my sincerity and delicacy to injurious imputations from every person who may at any time have conceived ihe import ol my expressions, diner- ent from what 1 may then have intended, or may after wards recollect. 1 stand ready to avow or disavow promptly and explicitly any precise or definite opin ion which I may be charged with having declared ol any gentleiunn.

The Duel between Gen. lluruiltou and Col. (their allotted situations: when Mr. Pendleton gave the word. Mr. Burr raised his arm slowly, deliberately took his aim, and fired. His ball entered Gen. Hamilton s right side: as soon as the bullet struck him, he raised himself involuntarily on his toes, turned a little to the left, (at which moment his pistol went off,) and fell upon his face. Mr. Pendleton immediately called out for Dr. Honack, who, in running to me spot, naa to puns 11 r. van nt'ss ana uoi. uurr; but Van Ness hud the cool precaution to cover his principal with an umbrella, so that Dr. Hosick should not be able to swear that he saw him on the field. What passed after this, the reader will have in the following letter from Dr. Hosack himself ; August 17th, 1804. " Dkae Sin: To comply with your request is a painful tnsk : but I will repress niv feelings while I endeavor to furnish you with an enumeration of such particulars relative to tho melancholy end ot our beloved friend Hamilton, as dwell must forcibly on my recollection. When called to him, upon his receiving the fatal wound, I found him half sitting on the ground, sun- ported in the arms of Mr. Pendleton. His countenance of death 1 shall never forget he had at that instant just strength to say, 'This is a mortal wound uocior, when he sunk away, and became to alt appearance lifeless. I immediately stripped up his clothes, and soon, alas! ascertained that the direction of the ball must have been through some vital part. His pulses were not to be felt ; his respiration was entirety suspended; nnd upon laying my hun-i upon his heart and perceiving no motion there, 1 considered him as irrecoverably gone. 1 however observed to Mr. Pendleton, that the only chance for his recovering was immediately to get him upon the water. We therefore lifted him up, and carried him out of the wood, to the margin of Ihe batik, where the bargemen aided us in conveying him to the boat, which immediately put off. During all this time I could not discover the least symptom of reluming life. I now rubbed his face, lips, and temples, with spirits nf harts-home, applied it to his neck and breast, and to the wrists and palm of his hands, and endeavored tn pour some into his mouth. When he hnd got, as I should judge, about fifty yards from the shore, some imer- ect eiiorts to nreathe were lor the hrst time manitesi: in a few minutes he sighed, and became sensible to the impression of the hartsliorne, or the fresh air of tho water. He breathed; his C)ci, hardly opened, wandered, without fixing upon ony objects; to our great joy he at length spoke: My vision is indistinct,' were Ins first words. His pulses became more perceptible; his respiration more regular; his sight returned. I then examined Ihe wound In know if there was any dangerous discharge of blood; upon slightly pressing his side it gave him pain; on which 1 desisted. Soon after recovering his sight, he happened to cast his eye upon the case of pistols, and observing the one he bad in his hand lying on the outside, he said, ' Tuke care of that pistol ; it is undischarged, and still cocked; it may go off and do harm ; Pendleton knows, (attempting lo turn his head towards him) that 1 did not intend to fire ot him." " Yes," said Pendleton, understanding his wish, 11 1 have already made Dr. Hosack acquainted with your determination as to that," He then closed his eyes and remained calm, without any disposition to speak, nor did he say much afterwards, exuepting in reply to my questions as to his feelings. He asked me once or twice how I found his pulse ; and he informed ine that his lower extremities had Install feeling; manifesting to me that he entertained no hopes that he should long survive. 1 changed the posture of his limbs, but to no purpose; Ihey had totally hist their sensibility. Perceiving that we approached the shore, he said, " let Mrs. Hamilton be immediately sent for let Ihe event be gradual ly broken to her; but give her hopes." Looking up we saw his friend Mr. Hiynrd standing 011 the wharf in great ngitulion. He had been told by his servant that Gen. Hamilton, Mr. Pendleton and myself, had crossed the river in a boat together, and too well he conjectured the fatal errand, and foreboded the dreadful result. Perceiving as we came nearer, that Mr. Pen dleton and myself only sat up in the stern-sheets, he clasped his hads together in the most violent apprehension ; hut when I called to him to have a cot pe-pared and he at the same moment saw his poor friend lying in the bottom of the boat, he threw up his eyes aud burst into a flood of tears and lamentation. Ham ilton alone appcarrd tranquil aud composed. We then conveyed him as tenderly as possible up to the house. The distresses of this amiable family were such that till the first shock wss abated, they were scarcely able to summon fortitude enough to yield sufficient assistance to their dying friend. " Upon our reaching tho house he became more languid, occasioned probably by the agitation of his re moval from the boat. 1 gave nun a little weak wine and water. When he recovered his feelings he com plained of pain in his back ; we immediately undressed him, laid him in bed, and darkened the room. 1 then gave him a large anodyne, which 1 had frequently repeated. During tho first day he took upwards of an ounce of laudanum ; and tepid anodyne fomentations were also applied to those parts nearest the seat of his pain yet were his sufferings, during the whole of the day almost intolerable. 1 had not a shadow of a hope of his recovery, and Dr. Post, whom 1 requested might be sent fur immediately on our reaching Mr. Bayard's house, united with me in this opinion, (ten. Hey, the French consul, had the goodness tn invite the surgeons of the French frigates in our harbor, as they had much experience in gun shot wounds, In render their assistance. They immediately came ; but lo prevent his being disturbed 1 staled lo them his situation, described the nature of his wound and the direction of the ball, with all the symptoms that could enable them to form an opinion as to tho event. One of the gentlemen then accompanied ine to the bedside. The result was a confirmation uf the opinion that had already been expressed by Dr. Post aud myself. " During tho night he had some imperfect sleep: but the succeeding morning his symptoms were ag. gravatcd, attended however with a diminution of pain. His mind retained all its usual strength and composure. The great source of his anxiety seemed to be in his sympathy with his half distracted wife and children. He spoke to me frequently of lliem " My beloved wife and children," were always his express ions. But his fortitude triumphed over his situation. dreadful aa it was ; once indeed, at the sight of hia children brought lo the bedside together, seven in number, his utterance forsook him ; he ojiened his eyes, gave ihcin one look, and closed them again till they were taken away. About two o'clock, as the public well knows, he expired. " Incomipta fides nmlsque veritaa (Ultimo 11 1 1 tun invcaicni parcm 1 bore very hard upon him; and it is probable that as usual ihey were accompanied with some falsehoods. He may have supposed himself under a necessity of acting as he has done. I hope tlie grounds of his proceedings have been such as ought to satisfy his own conscience. J trust at the same time, that the world will do ma the justice to believe, that I have not ceiiRured him on light grounds, nor from unworthy inducements. I certainly have had strong reasons for what I "have said, though it is possible that in some particulars, I may have been influenced by misconstruction or misinformation. It is only my ardent wish that I may have been more mistaken than 1 think I have been, and that he, by his future conduct may show himself worthy of all confidence and esteem, and prove an ornament and blessing to the country. As well because it is possible that 1 mar have in jured Col. Burr, however convinced myself that my opinions boo ucciurauuiis uuvo ucen well toundeu, as from my general principles and temper in relation to similar affairs, I have resolved if our interview is conducted in the usual manner, and it pleases God to give me the opportunity to rwerreand throw avau my first fire, and I hare thoughts even of reserving my second tire and thus giving a double opportunity to Col, Burr, to pause and reflect. Il is not, however, my intention to enter into any explanation on the ground apology from principle, 1 nope, rather than pride, is out ol the question. To those who, with me, abhorring the practice of duelling, may think that 1 ought on no account to have added to the number of bud examples, I answer that my relative situation, as well in public aa private, enforcing all the considerations which constitute what men of the world denominate honor imposed on mo (os I thought) 0 peculiar necessity not lo decline the call. The ability lo be in future useful, whether in resisting mischief or effecting good, in those crisis of our public affaira which seem likely to happen, would firobably be inseparable from a conformity with a pubic prejudice in this particular." A. li. Tlie death of Gen. Hamilton threw the whole nation into mourning. Next to Gen. Washington ho stood highest in the aflections of the people. Col. Burr was forced lo leave the United States, and never recovered his position in the country, though atV r many years absence he was permitted to return without meeting with legal hindrance. He was fesred and avoided, although his mental superiority was conceded by his fellow citizens. Both of these gentlemen were men of small stature, (no man that ever mei ine giance 01 Aaron liurr s uara piercing rye wouia ever mrgei mm,) nom had oeionged to the military family of Gen. Washington, who, with his instinctive insight into character, had early mode hia election between them, and withdrawn hia oonfidenco from Burr. Both had distinguished themselves in the battles of the Revolution, and both had received tho verdict of popular opinion the one as a pure, irene- rous, and unflinching patriot the olher as a bold, laienieu, unprincipled, and aspiring man. Hamilton was aged lorty-scven when lie fell. The blood of Hamilton in his descendants still flows through tho veins of some of the most elegant and refined of our citizens.

Several communications passed between these gentlemen without arriving at any satisfactory result, the tone of Col. Burr's demands being dictatorial and uncompromising. On the 2ulh of June, Mr. Pendleton wrote as follows : 4uui June, iru. Sin: I have communicated the letter which you did me the honor lo write to me of tins date to Gin. Hamilton. The expectations now disclosed on the part tif Col. Burr, apm-ar to him to have greatly ex tended the original ground ot inquiry, and instead ot presenting a particular aud dehnite case ol cxplatia tion, seem tu aim at nothing less than an inquisition into his most confidential conversations, as well as others, through the whole period uf his acquaintance with l,ol.

VxaNris, Esq. To this letter Mr. Van Ness sent a reply enclosing a message in form to Gen. Hamilton, which waa accepted. Gen. Hamilton after commenting upon the communication, gives the following instructions to Mr. Pendleton : " Whether the observations in Ibis letter are designed merely lo justify lite result which is indicated in the close o the letter, or may be intended 10 give an opening for rendering any thing explicit which may have been deemed vague heretofore, can only be judged of by the sequel. At any rale, il appears to me necessary not to be misunderstood. Mr. Pendleton is therefore authorized to say, that in the course of the present discussion, written or verbal, there has been no intention to evade, defy, or insult, but a sincere disposition lo avoid eitremeties, if it could he done with propriety. With this view Gen. Hamilton has been ready to enter into a frank and free explanation on any and every olnect of a specific nature; but not lo an swer a general sin) abstract inquiry, embracing a period too long for any accurate recollection, and exposing hun to unpleasant criticisms from, or unpleasant discussion with, any and every person, who may nave understood him in an unfavorable sense. This (admitting that he could answer in a manner the most satisfactory to Col Burr) ho should d 1 inatlmissa- ble, in principle and precedent, and humiliating in nractice. To this, then-fore, he can never submit. Frequent allusion has been made to slanders said to be in circulation. W heftier they are openly or in wins-pcra, they have a furin and shape, and might be ajie-cilicd." If the alternative alluded to in the close of the letter is definitely tendered, it must be accepted; the lime, place, and manner, lo tie afterwards regulated. 1 should not think it riirhl in the midst of a Circuit Court to withdraw my services from those who have confided imnorlanl interests to me, and expose Ihcin lu the embarrassment uf seeking olher counsel, who may not have lime lo be sutlicienlly instructed 111 their causes. 1 shall also want a little time to make some arrangements respecting mv own affairs." On Friday, the tith of July, the circuit being closed, Mr. Pendleton informed Mr. Van Ness thai lien, Hamilton would lie ready -at any time after the Sunday following. On Monday the particulars were ar rangedon Wednesday tlur parlies met at neenawa, on the Jersey shore, at 7 o'clock, A. M.

Multisille qmdrm Ib'biln occidit.' "After the death of (ten. Hamilton, a note which had been written the evening before the interview, was found, add rr sued to the gentleman who accompa-naied him to the field; thanking him with tenderness for his friendship to him, and informing him where would be found the certain key to drawers in his desk, in which he had deposited such papers aa he had thought proper tn leave behind him ; together with his last will. The following paper as containing his motives for accepting tlie challenge ; his reflections on his situation ; and some remarks on the conduct of the man who was to be the cause of his death, is presented as a highly interesting document. I was certainly desirous of avoiding this interview for the cogent reasons, 1. My religious aud moral principles are strongly opposed to the practice of duelling, and it would ever mve me pain lo be obliged to shed the blood of a fel low creature in a private combat forbidden bv the laws. 2. My wife and children are extremely dear to me. and my life is of the utmost importance lo them, in various views. It. I feel a sense of obligation towards my creditors ; who in ease of accident to me, by the forced aale of my property, may be in some degree sufferers. I did not think myself at liberty ai a man of probity, lightly lo expose them to this hazard. 4. 1 am conscious of no ill will to Col. Burr, dis tinct from political opposition which, as 1 trust, has proceeded from pure and upright motives. Lastly, I shall hazard much, and can possibly gain nothing by the issue of the interview. llul it was, as 1 conceive, impossible ior me 10 avom it. There were intrinsic difficulties in the thing, and artificial embarrassments from the manner of proceeding on the part of Co). Burr. Intrinsic, because it ia not tn ne aenieo, mat my animadversions on the political principles, character, and views of Col. Burr, have been extremely severe ; and on different occasions, I, in common with many others, have made very unfavorable criticisms on particular instances of the private conduct ol ibisgentleman, In nronorlion as these imnressions were entertained with sincerity, and uttered with motives, and for pur-poses wlnrh might appear to me commendable, would be the difficulty (until they could lie remove by evidence of their being erroneous,) of explanation or apology. The disavowal required of me by Col. Burr, in a general and indefinite form, was out uf my power, if it bad really been proper fur me tn submit to be so questioned; but I wss sincerely of opinion that this could not be, ami in this opinion I was confirmed by thai of a verv moderate ami judicial friend whom 1 consulted, llr sides that Col. Burr appeared to me to assume, in the first instance, a tone unnecessarily per-emptory and menacing, and in the second positively offensive. Yet 1 wished, as far as might he practicable, to have a door ohii tn accommodation. This, ( think, will be interred Iroiu the written eommumcn-lions made by me and by my direction, and would be continued tiy llie conversations ociwren mr. fan Ness ami myself, which arose out of llie subject. I am not sure whether, under all the circumstances I did not irn further in the attempt to accommodate than a punctilious delicacy will justify. If so, 1 hopo the motives 1 have staled will excuse me. Il is not my design, by what I have said, tn affix any odium un the conduct of Col. Burr, in tins ease.

The London Jewish Chronicle of June 2lh, publishes iVm contents of an interesting feller from Jerusalem. The brethren of the ten tribes it seems are to be hunted out, and for this purpose the Jews in F.nglsnd intend to exert a hearty co-operation with those settled in other lands. On the Kith of May a letter arrived in Lon-don from the synagogue authorities of Hapelh, saying that in consequence of important information having reached them as to the country where the brethren of the ten tribes are to be found, a resolution was immediately passed to elect from among their congregation a man ready and capable for a mission to that country. They appeal to Ihe Jerusalem Jews for co-operation and also to select in Jerusalem one from the Sephar-dim (Portuguese) Jews, and one from the Ashkenasun (German and Polish) Jews, and lo send the three messengers together, who will have to travel for awveral months through enormous deserts. It is said thai these ten tribes constitute an tmp:rt of their own, have their own king, and posses great qusntities of ammunition. They are of high stature, aud have altogether an athletic appearance. They are generally occupied with Ihe study of Kabala, are strictly religious, and very wealthy, being in possession of many gold mines. They do not permit a foreigner lo settle among them ; even the aojotirn of a few days can be obtained only by the payment of an e nor inn us tax, with the exception of Israelites, who are received as menus, permitted lo reside among them, and are altogether recognized as their own brethren. Ths synagogue authorities in Jerusalem have consented to the mission, though they will have to incur a heavy expense, which so Jong a journey requires. Bottom Transcript. Gm. Jrsi-f.
