Jefferson is no more, he died on the 4th instant 10 minutes before one p.m. On yesterday when just to make the arrangements for this melancholy occasion, the mail brought us the sad intelligence that another of the signers of the declaration of independence was no more, that John Adams had departed this life on the 4th instant at 6 oclock p.m."
