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."

Emigration.? under this head,
a late London paper thti* remarks?
" The emigrations from Ibis country
to America, are not confined to the
lower order of Society?on the con
trary, great numbers of families not
only possessing wealth, but also a
knowledge of the mechanical profes
sions are quitting England, from the
disgust they fewl, at the enormous
taxations with which we are at pre
sent burthened* We understand
that a vessel is now building, for the
express purpose of taking out sever
al respectable families to.the Illinois
territory, where there are upwards
of 9,000 acres of land preparing for
cultivation. Home of the parties,
who will sail in the above vessel, are
citizens of great opulence and intel
ligence?the nunilHir of men, women
and children, amount to one hundred
?they take with them all the neces
sary implements of agriculture, &c.
and the amount of money amongst
those families m upwards of 100,0001.

an English settlement aniong them

ment/ and from th* prospects held
out, tbetft w *o (Vwibt, it will be a

We learn by the Washington City
Gazette of tlie 36th nit. that the P?-e
sidont of the United States w&c #v

the Southern Tour, on the 29th ult.

lie will travel from tlieuce along the

places as far loutli as Savannah
and that he is expected to complete
his journey and return to that city by
the 4th of July next."
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.
... We have the satisfaction of stating
that Cl?e works for the improvement
of the rivusof this state are progres

The workmen are now actively em
ployed cutting canals round the falls
of Serin's and Heard's bhoals, on

employ migbt be obtained l?y steady

ten pence ill the purchase of a new
halter, tied it around the neck of Jiis
wife, and led her into the market
place, where, after shewing her and
expatiating oo her good qualities, he

It is stated, says a London paper,
on the authority of letters from a
Missionary at Msfts, that nine men,
belonging to the different British ves
sels lying at Hmyrna, had publicly
denied Jeeue Christ the Saviour of
the world, and had embraced Ma
hometanism!! ! This practice a
mong the English sailors, the same
letter adds, was becoming quite cus
