NEW.YORK, Msrcb^. Yest rday, juit before onfc o'clock P. M. W anrifco Son was executed, in porfuancrof hi-, lenience, for the murder ot Archibald Graham. The feene was peculiarly lolemrt. Arnold--.. We feel great pleasure in af furtng our readers, that the information from Albany, puhlifbed in the Citizen, communicating the intelligence that the sen ate had passed the bill for the execution ot this unfortunate man, by a majority of four vo»»s, is Hated with the usual corrctfnefs of that paper. The taut really is, that his puoi'hmcnt is commvred by a resolve of that holy, from death to confinement for lilt in the Hate ptifon, i 5 votes to 11. On theto'h instant, afmr a long and te dious illness departed this life in the 78th year of his age, the Hon. Horatio Gates, Lieutenant Geneva! in the fcrvicc* of ihe U. Slates during the late Revolutionary War, in which service he signalized himfelfasa faithful, brave, gallanr, aid diftinguifhcd officer. He was a whig in England, and a genuine republican in America. He was attached to the cause of America from a full conviHion of its jufticr, and fought faith, fully under its banners through every ft.tge of the conflict. He left his native country in the early part of his life, and served feve rul compaigns in Germany, where he ac quired the rudiments of military knowledge. He came hither with Gen. Hiaddock, and served in the Britirti army until the condi tion ol the peace. He afterwards returned to England, hut finally emigrated to Ame rica, and purchased an eftatc in Vngiwia. On Ihe rupture bet ween this country and Great-Britain he was called to take the command of the northern army, and by his (kill and good conduit the troops under Gen. Bu-goync surrendered prisoners of war. lilt, military virtues are too numerous to ad task* of 4-itoil *UICI will foil lift I 6 ttrlllletlll page in the American annals. He was a’ scholar well versed in hiltory and the latin daffies, and of correft political principles. His manners and deportment were tinctured with a military bias. He was hofpitablc, generous, just, inflexible in (his attachment to his friends, and poffeftcd a feeling hreaft. He died in the full conviction of the truth of the Chrijlia.i tfeligioft, and appeared pleased when it was recommended to his serious attention, in the last iLgts of his illncfs, PHILADELPHIA, April 8. The (hip Atahualpa, of B- •’on, captain Adams, (late Porter) from the North Weft cord, arrived at Canton, the l6ih Nov. The Aralmlpa in June laft,,on the North V.’eft ccalt, was attacked by the natives, and an ohftinatc corflift ensued, in which capt. Potter, and nine others were killed and nine wounded ; they defended them fclvcs wtiti girMi fuirir and bravery, and with great difficulty brought the [hip off. Among the killed were both mates of the ship, and Mr. Lyman Plummer, of Salem, nephew to the owner of the (hip, who was on board as clerk to capt. Porter, a very worthy and proroifing young man. Only five persons on board escaped injury. Near ly fifty ol the natives were killed or died of their wounds. Jic CHARLESTON, April 23. EAST-BAY STREET LOT TERY. TWINTY-THIRD DAl’s DRAWING.

From the Aurora. The fjbtequent account of the treaties with, and subsidies to, the coalesced powers, is from the True Ifritsn of February 12 : “ The original treaty of concert between the king and emperor of Ruffin was signed at Pfferffiurgh on tho 11 th of April lalt year. In this treaty thcobjvdsof rhekague art fia ted with diftinilnefs and precision.—They were the evacuation of Hanover and the North of Germany—the ellablifhmentcf the independence of Holland and Switzerland th>> re.Htablifhrricnt of the king of Sardinia —. lie security of the kingdom of Napk* and the con pkte evacuation of Italy, inclu ding »he island of Elba, by the French for ces—and finally , the eftablifl'inent of such an order of things in Europe at. n.ight effec tually guarantee the fecu.iry and itidcpedeiKC of the different and pref.-nt a fo.id barrier ag di.il f lane uf.irpations. They fo ie rani y disavowed all intention of controll ing the public opinion in France, or in any other countries where the combined armies . might carry on th ir operation!, or of appro printing to themfelvcs any jcoiiqucft riiat might be made before the termination of the XV ir, when a general congress was to be as. femh'ed for the purpose of re* cftablifhing the affairs of Run- pc on a fura ami permanent baits. 'The o.her powers were robe invited to join the leaguf, on the cor.Htjbiv tharc u .fie parties wee to make a feperate pc-cc v i’hcut the corfent of ail the powers concerned in it. The emperor of Russia was to fend, as soon as possible, two armies one of 60.000 men to the frontiers of Prussia and another of 80,000 so the frontier! of Austria, tofupport thele powers in case of their being attacked by France, whomight fufpeft them of neg'.dations unfriendly to her views. And both his Imperial and Britanmcrnajeftv, on the other hand, engaged ro make a com mon caufc against every power, which either by the employment of its force or too inti, matt a union with France , might pretend to raise obstacles to the develooeraent of the meafnres which might be nccefu.y to obtain the ohjeiU concerted up.*n. It appeals, that before direct Ivgxi.ltions were cmeied upon with Sweden and .nutria, the acccffion of thefc two powers was i.egOr ciutcd will) lo.d L. Gower by the Ri tfian ministry ; and it is not till the 9ih u s Au. gull thal iiuy direii communications are nude upon the fubjefl bp the Auffrian to the BA. tilh Ambalfador, from which time Auflria became a party to the treaty, Sweden may be conffderrd as having final ly acceded to it on the 3d of Oftober j for the conventions of the 31 <», of August, and of the 3d of December of the foregoing year, related merely to the defers ofStralfund. Such were the objects of the members of the league. It remains ro be Teen what were the means on which they counted for the at tainment* thefc.objetlls. In the original treat) of concert it is ptopofed, that a force ' should be collected of 500,000 men, inde pendent of the British troops. Towards ratling '.his force, Great Britain was to pay to the powers which might contribute the different forces, in the form offubftdics, in ratio of £t, 1 50,000 a year for every roo,. 000 men, which was about £1 2 10s. a year for each man. The subsidy was to date, wiih Russia, from the time her troops palled the confines, and with Austria, from the ill ofOiflo ier, and to be continued till the end of the war, or till the troops returned home. The subsidies wete to be paid monthly inllal ments—but, 3 months subsidy was to be paid iti advance to Rufiia, and 5 months fub fdy in advance to Austria, as a premiere m j'e en campagne, and 5 mom hs subsidy was hkcwitc to be avdanced to Sweden. Had the whole force, therefore, of 500,000 men been rat fed, our annual fudttdics would have amounted to .£6,253,000, a large sum cer tainly ; out it we conuder the amount of the force which it was to produce, it will be found to be by lar the most econonreal mode of carrying on the. war, that could hsvehecn adopted. Government are at this moment paying, we believe, £ll a man, a S bounty money to recruits, so that had it been pof ftble to have collated an equal force in this countty, which it certainly is nor, rhe boun ty money alone would have amounted to £ t 0,500,000,,500,000, wu\ ut countingtheir pav, fi’.bfiltancr, accoutrements, and the whHtf " expence of their equipment. The economy ot this arrangement will be further obvious if it be compared with the army clti mates laid before the houfc of Commons bv the fc. ere:ary at warlait Friday, in which the ex. pence of the nav ami fubfiftemeef \3+ +73 men is ellimated at £1,193,105 for three 1. on ms only, which make* their expencc tor the year to am nmt to £+.472,420: whcieas iht; t.me force on the continent when railed by fuhfides, would only ha ve coff about * £1700,000. . Though 500.000 men was the force which it was ptopofed to collcft, it appears by one of the separate articles, that the treaty was to be ailed upon as soon as they could brincj 400.000 mp into‘the field; of* hit h Au£ tru was to furnifh 250,000, Russia not lef. than 115,000, and the remainder was to be made up of Hanoverians, Neapolitans, Sec, And for tfctfe mimSers re rasy sup pose that there has been pa id to Austria five months' fubfi3y, which would amemnt to fiimewhat more than £ 130,000; and to Rulfia there must hare been paid, we (hould think, at least four months’ subsidy, which, on her proportion of the force, would amount. to about £ 360,000. Bcfides this, £ too, 000 has been paid to the king of Sweden for the fortification of Slralfund ; and 12, 1 000 Swedifti troops are to remain in the pay of this country till three months after the peace. We (hould not fuppofc that the whole sum already remitted cA amount to two millions ftcrling, but it cannot fall mueh (hort of it. REVOLUTION IN HARTFORD IT is worthy of .Hire, that the city of Hartford, state rtf Connertirut, has hereto, fore been renrefented In her City Council, by men whole principles were federal.—wc now fee rhe face of politics reversed in that city- It is a notorious fa if, that the under, named gentlemen have long fincc espoused those principles which lead to freedom and good order. This stride of Repubhcanifm far exceeds our sanguine expectations. We may (hortly expert a statement of their state election---and, we (hould not be surprised if it terminates in favor of a Republican re. presentation. Perhaps, there is no state in the anion, in which there is mare elertlcn. eer’ng fqtiibs played off than in C">onerticut ~ the papers arc generally crowded with them a month previous to theelertion.—individu. als lose no time in fccuring votes for their parry.
