AMERICA. 
A moft melancholy event has lately 
happened in this country. General Hamil- 
ton was a perfon highly efteemed ; he had 
been the intimate friend of General Wahh- 
ington ; and, in politics, in which he had 
taken an aétive part, was the firm opponent 
of the French party. Colonel Burr, the 
Vice Prefident of the United Sates, had 
conceived that he had {poken in a deroga- 
tery manner of his character. They were 
violent opponents in politics; but it does 
n& appear that General Hamilton had 
fpoken improperly of Coloxel Burr’s pri- 
vate conduct, although he had probably 
Marriages and Deaths in and near London. 
[ Sept. 15 
reprefented him as a dangerous man in 
politics. Colonel Burr, however, called 
upon the General for fatistaction; they 
met, and the General fell. Froma paper 
he drew up previous to his going to the 
field, he appears to have met the vice-pre- 
fident with extreme reiuétance, having 
done all that honour admitted of to avoid 
it. His will, made with a ftrong prefen- 
timent of his death, proves him to have 
been a man of great integrity and feeling. 
The mournful fenfation occafioned by bis 
death was almoft univerfal throughout thé 
States. Mr. Morris, the governor of 
New York, delivered a pathetic difcourfe 
over his body, before it was committed to 
the earth. The celebrated fociety of the 
Cincinnati have determined to erect a mo- 
numient in commemoration of his fervices 
and his virtues. He has left a wife and 
children to mourn his lofs. Their unpro- 
tected condition feems to have anxioufly 
occupied the greater part of his lait mo- 
ments.
