Dispatches from the Cape of Good Hope, dated the beginning of last month : every thing was quiet there, and the troops,were in good health. WP have 'received Foreign Papers_ to the 27th inst. which •contain the Seventieth Bulletin of the French Ar 4 : it relates principally to the Siege of Dantic, and admits that the Garrison has been re-- inforced by several Russian:Regiments. BONAPARTE had returned, on .the 9th ,of April, to his head quarters at Finckenstein from his excursion to Ma rienwerder. • .It does not appear that any move- Aunts of consequence had been made by either Army. Indeed,, from the • information - whia 'we had previously received, we were led to believe, that General BENNLGSEN would not commence his operations before the , 1 Bth or 20th of this month . Most of the articles. in these Papers., Though'dated from different - parts of iB - 6 - Confinent, speak of a Negotiation being : rioW pending. It -is, however,, probable that these rumours are circulated to answer the purpose ot.BoNArARTE. No Official Accounts have yet been mceived from Admiral DUCKWORTH, bUt an opinion s e ems t o have • gained ground that the rumours in the Foreign Pa pers, of his having repassed the Dardanelles with, out having accoMplished his object, are • Unfound ed. We should be happy to have it in Our power to confirm - - that . : opinion, but we have strong grounds for believing that the British . Fleet has repassed the Dardanelles, and that no ar_ rangetnent was effeated between Great Britain, Rus sia and TUrkey. We have received American Papers to the 22d ult. They confirm the faet of Mr. Buaß's having absconded.after he had given Bail, and a Reward is offered . for his apprehension. The Grand Jury of the .Mis.sissippi Territory, before whom Mr. BURR was' brought, not only threw out the Bill against him, but appear; by the following •Pre~entsnents, to have a docided park in his favour : At a - Supreme Court heldfor the Mississippi Territory, at the town of Washington, on Tuesday, the 3d of February, 1,107. " The . Grand Jury of the Mississippi Territory, on a due investigation of the Evidence broutht befOre theM, are •of opinion that AAttoN BURR has riot been guilty of any . Critne or Misdemeanour against the laws of the , linited States; or of this TerritOry, or given any just occasion for alarm or inquietude to the good people of this 'Tierritory. " The . Grand Jury present as a grievance, the late military 'expedition,• unnecessarily, as - they conceive/ fitted out against the person of the said AAlzort BURR, where no resistance had been made to the Or- • dinary'oivil authority. The Grand Jury also present as highly deroga. t 6 the dignity of thiS Government,. the armis tice ,(so called) concluded between the Secretary, aging as Governor, and the said AARON BURR. "The Grand Jury also present as a grievance, de stro..tive of personal liberty;the late , military arrests, made *ithout warrant; and, as they conceive, With atitOiher lawful authority.; ..and they do seriously regret that so much cause should. be given to . the enemies. of our glorious Constitution, to rejoice at such measures being adopted in a neighbouring ter ritory, as if san6tioneh by the ExecutiVe of our Country, must sap the vitals of our political exist enee, and crumble this glorious tiibric in the dust."
