Hadlock told him to pray quick, for it Jhould bt the last time ; repeating his blows which fractured his Ikull in several places. The wit nefles tettified that they left them in this lituati on, not daring to return until the next morning, when jtlrey found Mr. Gott both senseless and speechless in Manchefler's house, which had been deserted over night by the family. Mr. Gott Survived but a few hours. Thus fell an innocent young man, a vi<stim to the ungoverned pallions •of[an unprovoked neighbour, probably too much inflamed with fti ong drink. Let such as indulge this vice take warning by Hadlock's unhappy si tuation, especially when they are reminded that the law considers intoxication as an aggravation, rather than an excuse for a crime. NEW-LONDON, July 21. On Sunday nth of July 1790, afmall two mast boat off Sheldon's shoals, up Connecticut river, about 16 miles, upfett, on board of which were two men, who were very fortunately drowned as the boat funk, since which the boat and two men were taken up.

Rutgers'gro und, by The President of the United States, the Hon. Gen. Knox, the Kings t Headmen, and Warriors of the Creek nation,HisExcellenry the Command' erin Cliiefofthe militia, and other military per sonages of dißin<ftion» The troops acquitted themselves in a manner highly honorary to their commanders, and to their own military charatfter. The President was pleased to express his approba tion of heir soldierly appearance and deportment, and the applaufeofthe lpe<ftators was unreserved* ly bellowed. If the peace and tranquility of the United States depended on the allumption of the Sate debts. If the operations of the general govern ment were liable to insuperable difficulties in cafe of non-aflumption,and if distributive ahdimparti* aljuftice was absolutely suspended on the affirm ative of this question. The facrifices of public time and treasure, occasioned by endeavours to furmountand obviate the objections to this mea sure, are but as a drop to the ocean, compared to the solid, substantial, injuring and encreafuig ad vantages derived to the whole people from the allumption. From this moment, the face of public affairs aflumes a new, a vigorous, and ani mated afpe<ft—unlimited confidence isreftoredin. the Councils of the Union—and having one greac objetf, the perfecting our whole finances—com merce, arts and agriculture will receive a spring hitherto unknown. A correl'pondent observes, that the Affumptiort of the State debts rivets the chain of Union—and blackens with despair the enemies of our Nation al Constitution. By this, the monfler with thirteen heads re ceives his death wound—and all the (lings of fac tion are drawn—The State governments, while protected by one Head in the participation of jus tice, will sensibly realize the blessings which flow from union-, the machinations of State demagogues to divert the people from a steady pursuit of their best interests will prove in vain. Had the Members of this State voted againffc the Assumption, and thus have defeated the mea sure, it is pretty evident general inter* efts would have been most essentially injured.— Conjjeflicut and New-Je+fcy, the arms of our com merce, while faddledwith taxes to pay their State debts, mull have given up their commercial cha. rafter, or forever remained ruinously in debt to our merchants.—And what would have become of the little State of Georgia, was her once pow erful, wealthy neighbor to be cruflied beneath, the weightof her enormout,,but meritorious debt? Died, on the 25 inft. at his Scat near Elizabeth- Town, his Excellency William Livingston Esq. Governor ojtheState of New-Jersey.—A fiation which he held with diftinguijhed honor to himfelf, andadvan tage to the State from the firft year of the revolution. In his death America sustains the loss of one of htr mo ft distinguished patriots ; and the republic of let ters a very brilliant ornament. Born and educated in this country, his whole life was a con/I ant fucceffiort of ferv'tces to promote its. lejl intereQs, and in every public department he discharged his duty with great bility, and the mofl confciencioux integrity. His ami~ able family, the State, and the public at large, have to regret the removal of so much worth and Virtue out of life. ARRIVALS SINCE OUR LAST. NEW-YORK. Brig Mary, Neil, Newry.
