Fatal ?^btrA^The following suc cinct statement of the unfortunate af fair, which happened on Satarday last, in this city, comes from the pen of a gentleman of respectability and truth, and is corrol>orated by the evidence of persons who witnessed the whole transaction, given before | the magistrates: ?In relating the circumstances of a fatal rencontre between John L. Sopkins and M'Quebn M'Intosh, hich happened oil the $7th instant, and which terminated in the death of the latter gentleman, vve are in fluenced by no qther feelings than a irincere regai-cHo truth aud justice.? The facts, as they are exhibited by , interested persons ^present, are these: That, on the morning of the flytH inst. John L. Hopkins, accom panied by his father ^pd a man of I the name of Jenkins, rttrlved in town, .and, after some ineffectual efforts .at re/'onciliatioirbetween the friend of tyl'Queeu AT Into* H and John Lu ] Hopkins, the latter pfrocceded to the Iniarding-house kept by Me^rs. Dewitt & Hurnett, where M'Intosh resided, and did there ,nake nil as sault un him, iti the iirst instance, with a drawn sword cane, and after wards with pistols. That, in the first rencontre. Mr. M'intosh receiv ed sever.nl wOunds inflicted hy John L. Hopkins and his father, and thi? without any 'provocation, save the previous misunderstanding tliat exis ted between the parties. That, on being; separated, Mr. Mcintosh re tired into thX ilppter>$tory of the house, for th^>urp<>se o? providing himself with im1 menns of defence. That, in descending the stairs, Jolm L. Hopkins, (who was on the platform of the house, an ! opposite the door leading to the staircase) presented a pistol, with a threat, that if lie at tempted to advance, he would shoot him down. That, at that instant, the door was closed, and Mr M'Intosh availing himself of the back door, proceeded through ti yard, round the house; where John 1* Hopkins, apprised of his move ment, and sheltered by the corner of the building;, concealed from view awaited his approach, and without any previous notice, discharged his pist : at him within tive paces.? Th i\ on the discharge, he retreated,' or rather ran, untillie reached the endj of the platlorai, w hen, in the act ofj leaping behind a tree, Mr. M'luiosh fired without affect. That John LJ Hopkins, availing himself of the concealment of his person, took de-j liberate pim, and shot his heroic an tagonist through the body, who while in the act of railing, and w lieu Tim murderer was running with Jastardly atepg^ presented his second pistol, and the well directed ball shattered! the fugitive's arm, though twelve' I yards distant." l)ai 'ien Guzpt}rj Mirch 20. ?Very latefrm Europe.?B; the arrival of tlie iiomer^Xiik\ttnn Bell, iu 30 days from iiree nock, date* from that place ami from Loudon to the end of February have been received; hut the late hour at which they came to hand t;.vents us imikhig any ex tracts for diis aflemouiVW papeiv Commercial accounts state a further depression m the.

The late destruction of the Ma sonic Hall, in Philadelphia, one of the most beautiful buildings in that ? ity, has excited much of the public spirit of that place. The Theatre! and other public institutions, have of-' fered their assistance, in rebuilding the same; and many private gentle men, have also liberally contributed towards ?' e same object; among these we iliirl tlie name of Mr. Girurd, wiio jr-.ve 6000 dollars. ! i The Chevalier de Onisf Spanish minister to the United States, has obtained leave to return to Spain; and will probably leave this country in May next, lii* successor ha* not been named. ...
