The serious nature of this report forbids us to re peat the names of the persons implicated as leaders, until the authenticity of the report be fully ascer tained. It is by no means improbable that the following rumour is connedied wan this important intelligence, wh;ch we are told has occupied th Executive of the United States, convened in Council, during four days •f the last week.—[Here follows the rumour, re published the day before yesterday, of the Pr sident basing issued a warrant br High Treason, against a person, supposed to he Burr ] Th• President of the United States was seriously indisposed on Tuesday, an.:, by the last accounts, was still confined.

" This city has been ender arms for two nights past, caned:llg an insurrection of the Blacks. It appears that several meetings had taken place abort four miles from town, where they had agreed to attack the Whites in the city: they had appointed generals and other officers. According to their plans, they ...ere to make three separate landings ; one at Wayne 's wharf, one at the Coffee-House wharf, and one at the Fort. They were then to set fire to the town, and massacre the Whites. Hut a difference existed between two of their leaders, and sae of them divulged the secret early the evening hefere yesterday; is consequence of which the dif ferent compin;esof volunteers were stationed under the Bluff, and the Militia at Spring Hill, where twelve of the head men of the insurgents were taken, and will be violin a few days. Having been so fortunate as to take the head men, we have now, I think little to fear, as the rest appear to be quiet.

We have received New York Papers to the 9515 last, from which we have made several extraFts. They contain several paragraphs, in which Colonel Buss is direttly charged with treason, and an at tempt to excite rebellion in the ‘N'estem country. These charges are made in a very loose and vague manner ; but it is difficult to rot:ceive that a News paper would prefer them up n light grounds. These pallets have shewa their respect for our Mtnister, the H - inouxable Mr. EKSKIri e. by a total cessation of all abuse against En,lani, or reiteration of those complaints which constitute the subject matter of his mission. A change of that system which gave so much offence to the Americans appears indeed to have already taken place. The .'lrw York ('bra aisle states, that the Cambrian frigate, one f those English vessels lately complained of, had recently bearded an American, and though th.re of the crew wese without protections, she did not press them. The intetesting points in the New York Papers, will" be found in our extracts. Among these is an ac count of the late dreadful fire in the Island of St. Thomas. By the Lisbon Mail, which arrived yesterday, we have received a letter, dated Malta, Oetriber 16, from which the following is an extra :—" This goes by the Scout brig of war j which sails imme diately, with dispatches for aid COLLINGWOOD she came in here from Palermo, where it seems they have accounts of the Toulon fleet being at sta."— We have also received, by the same conveyance, Letters and Papers from Gibtaltar, to the 94th,-- Sir SIDNEY SMITH, it appears, is coming home, in consequence of some misdnderstanding between him and Sir JohN STUAKT. The Spanish gun-boats are represented in great force in the neighbourhood of Gibraltar, where they greatly annoy our com- merce. M — ter The Proclamation of BONAPARTI for the Block ade of England, &c. and other articles ennn. fled with it, the substance of which we gave yesterday, will be tound at length in our last page. It was reported, yesterday. that Turkey, at the instigation of France, has declared war am -. Russia. . The Ranger is artived in the Firth of Forth, from the Elbe; she has brought intelligence, that the Lima and other vessels 'whids sailed from the Firth, with goods, far Tonningen, were not suffered to land them, and were obliged to return. It should seem from this, as if Denmark had been compelled to take part against us. The Danzig. ROSINDALI, which arrived at Hull on Friday aftenoon, left the Sound on Tuesday se'nnight. The English ships at Dantzig had all got out ready to put to sea, in case the French reached that place. It is said they were in pos session both of it and Thorn. At Petersburgh, the Exchange with this country had fallen very greatly. An Evening Paper of yesterday, stated, that a pension of 12,0001. per animist has been granted to the Hon. Mrs. Fox. The &erre. Captain Cour+ BLACK, from Lon. don for Buenos Ayres, sailed from Lisbon on the 21st of November for Buenos Ayres, under convoy of the Racen brig of war. The Fader, CONWAY, from Belfast for London, is arrived at Holyhead, after being on shore. On Saturday the Dispatches were finally closed at the East India House, and delivered to the pursers • of the Dre , tynes, Carmarthen, General Sluarl, and Travers, being the last ships of the season. Some days before the arrival of the French, Lou p/lin, a Frenchman, the Secretary to the Prussian Legation at Paris, was arrested at Stettin, and im prisoned for treachery ; and several more of the per sons attached to the Prussian Ministry were said to be implicated in the same crime. Several letters were last week received at Hull, from the Captain and crew of the 13knheint. of that port, captured with the liolikeneas, by two French frigates, on their return from the Davis's Straits fishery. The crew were landed at L'Orient, and marched frem thence, about 4.60 miles, in 28 days, to Arras, where they arrived the last week is Oc tober. The surgeon of the Blenheim was left with the sick at the hospital. at landing. The harpooner, and A M BRITTLIBANK. one of the crew of the Blenheim, were left sick at Alencnn. There I were about 1,500 prisoners at Arras, and their allow ance was only small. • A Gentleman arrived at Hull, on Friday, who left Stettin three days after the French entered that place, states, that, afte r intelligence of the battle of Jena, and the subsequent flight of the King of PRUSSIA over the Oder, were known there, the inha bitants wrote to His Mealtime, offering to defend the place for him, even if the military wore with drawn. The Kis° returned them thanks for the attachment manifested to him, but advised them not to think of such a measure at that time, as it could only be produCtive et the worst 'fleas to themsel►es, without any benefit to his cause.— When the French summoned it, therefore, it was given up; but the garrison had previously been withdrawn, with the exception of the invalids and the wounded who had reached that place. Yet, notwithstanding this, after the Governor had sur. rendered to the French, and the latter had taken possession of Stettin, the Governor was insulted by the inhabitants, pulled off his horse, and trampled upon in the streets, for Ins coadua in giving it up.
