Miscellaneous. The 51st anniversary of American Independence, we are happy to find, has been pretty generally celebrated.—In Boston, the day was observed with that splendor and conviviality which so eminently distinguishes the metropolis of this State: Between 4 and 500 Federal Republicans dined together in the "Hall of Liberty," on the choicest rarities which the season afforded:—Of which the Boston Gazette makes the following mention:—
At 12 o'clock, a very numerous and highly respectable company assembled at the Representatives' room of the state-house, agreeably to a request of the selectmen, and under escort of the Boston Light Infantry and Winslow Blues, formed a procession to the south church, where religious service was performed, and an oration delivered by Peter Thacher, esq. conformably to the institution of the town. After the oration, a very large number of gentlemen again assembled at the state-house, and under the same escort, proceeded to Faneuil-Hall, to dine. The hall was decorated in a chaste, beautiful and appropriate style, and the entertainment was elegant. The Hon. Mr. Gore presided, assisted by the Hon. Mr. Mason, the Hon. Mr. Otis, col. Reveres, col. Perkins, col. Bradford, col. Welles and S. Codman, esq. as vice-presidents. On Mr. Gore's right was the late President of the U. S. the Hon. Mr. Adams, and on his left, the Hon. Robert Treat Paine, esq. Two of the few surviving venerable patriots who had the honor to sign the declaration of American Independence. The company was also honored with the presence of the Judges of the Supreme Court, and the Judges of the District and Municipal Courts, the orator and chaplain of the day, members of congress, members of the senate and house of representatives, solicitor-general, many military gentlemen, a number of the Rev. clergy, the selectmen, and other officers of the town, &c. Great conviviality, harmony and happiness prevailed.—The following is a selection from the Toasts which were given on this occasion:
The day—May we remember it will be disgraced if we have declared Independence, if we neglect to maintain it. The President and congress of the U. S.—As good citizens, we wait for the course of our government, and hope it will conduce to our safety and honor. The people of the U. States—If their government be in the right, may they by non-temperate acts place the nation in the wrong. The Judiciary—May there be no dissentients from the sentiment of our Chief Magistrate, "that its Independence is the bulwark of civil liberty." The Washington and Adams principles—by which Truth was no libel, and "freedom of speech no treason." May we have no war which is not just and necessary, nor any peace but what is safe and honorable.
On Mr. Adams' retiring, the president (Mr. Gore) rose and addressed the company in the following words:—
GENTLEMEN—Our venerable fellow citizen, the late president of the U. States has just retired from the Hall:—While we continue to celebrate this anniversary, as propitious to our country, we cannot be unmindful of the services of one, who so conspicuously promoted the event we commemorate, and who has done so much to render it illustrious, in the annals of America, and productive of happiness and prosperity to the citizens, I propose to you the following toast:
JOHN ADAMS—One of the ablest, and best supporters of his country's rights, whose great mind could conceive a nation, and the first means of securing its freedom, its glory, and real Independence. The following Toast was given by a committee from the company of Young Federal Repub-
licans, assembled at Washington Hotel, Broomfield's Lane:— "Our Sires of Boston:—May their glorious deeds in the revolutionary war, stimulate their sons to the preservation of the Independence they then acquired at the risk of their lives and best blood." After the committee had retired, the following was given from the chair:— "The Young Federal Republicans of Boston—May they always continue to deserve the warmest approbation of their parents and of their country."
VOLUNTEERS. By Mr. Adams.—The love of our country—which like filial piety to parents, ought to glow with ardor in adversity and prosperity, in poverty and wealth, in disgrace as well as in glory, and even in their inconsistency, as well as in their constancy.
By Judge Paine.—The 4th of July—may it prove as fatal to tyranny in all its forms, as the Ides of March was to Julius Cæsar. National Honor—when afloat, may it be on board an armed ship whose guns are not housed, and whose safety is insured at the office—of the spirit of '75.
The Navy—May our Commanders be PREBLE—and our Captains DECATUR. The solace of human life—May the bosoms of the fair daughters of the genius of liberty, be filled with Federal husbands, & their cradles with Federal children.
NEW-YORK, JUNE 26. A great part of the riff-raff in the Aurora, and other papers of the same kidney, abusing the government and people of Great Britain, and intended to provoke a war between the United States and her, are known to be the fabrications of the numerous French SPIES, which Talleyrand keeps in pay in the United States. From such hirelings nothing better could be expected; and they must do something for their pensions; but what are we to think of those printers who pretend to be Americans, and citizens of an independent Empire, who have the wickedness and folly to permit such cats to pollute American papers with their trash, knowing them to be what they are?
CANANDIAGA, JUNE 16 "On the purity of elections depends the Liberty of the People."—This maxim is continually in the mouth of pseudo-Republicans:—at their hearts are as far from their mouth as from Maine to Louisiana. It is a well known fact, that in several towns illegal votes for Governor have been received and counted. In Batavia, where we believe there are not more than 30 (certainly not more than 70) legal voters, 515 votes for Governor were returned!!! Leirester, which does not contain a dozen freeholders, gave 116 gubernatorial votes; and Solus, containing 30 freeholders, gave 85!!! So much for the rule of democracy.
Extract of a letter to the Editor of the New-York Evening Post.
"Dr. —, Surgeon of the British garrison at Niagara, assures me that the Clintonians sent an invitation to the British subjects in Upper Canada to cross the line and vote for Governor. Many of them did so, and among them some of the garrison, and received for their trouble a quart of whiskey per man."
The Marquis de Casa Yrujo has been appointed by his Catholic Majesty, his Minister to the King of Italy; and has appointed the Chevalier le Fonada, his Charge des Affaires to the United States, until the arrival of the Chevalier Don Nicholas Masco de Orozco, who is nominated to succeed him.
The Hanseatic ship Hencentica, arrived at Plymouth on Monday, from Lima, whence she sailed on the 13th Dec. last. The master reports, that the Viceroy having heard of an English armament being destined against that place, had ordered all the soldiers to march from the camps and mountains to reinforce the town, &c. Their force was estimated at about 10,000 men. They seemed, however, to entertain but little apprehension of being actually visited at such a distance, by a force from Europe. [Lon. pap.]
Messrs. Gallatin and Dearborn, Secretaries of the Treasury and of War, arrived at Washington, previous to the issuing of the Proclamation.
Some mob-proceedings have taken place in Philadelphia, before the Proclamation of the President had reached that city; which has received the pointed detestation of all the friends of the Administration in that city.
Some of the inhabitants of New-York, who are opposed to Fortifications, seem to think it as safe to light against ships of war, uncovered, on a bare beach, as behind a shot proof wall. These inhabitants must be naturalized Irish. They are a brave fellows; but the Americans must take care that Republican blood be not wasted by blunders. If any of those Hibernians were in the place of Bonaparte, he would not reinforce his army as the Emperor now does. But he found that he had a few thousand Irish more than the enemy, he would send them away, to reduce himself to equal terms. We expect these enemies to fortifications, will propose to substitute bales of cotton for planks and timber in the quarters of our ships of war.
What animals in nature are most wise? A rich man contented with his fortune. A man of genius not noted for his irregularities and defects.—A learned man who knows himself.—A sciolist not yet.—A virgin whom every body thinks beautiful except herself.

Important State Paper.
By the President of the United States, A PROCLAMATION.
DURING the wars which, for some time past, have unhappily prevailed among the powers of Europe, the United States of America, firm in their principles of peace, have endeavored by justice, by a regular discharge of all their national and social duties, and by every friendly office their situation has admitted, to maintain, with all the belligerents, their accustomed relations of friendship, hospitality, and commercial intercourse.
In consideration of these circumstances and of the right of every nation to regulate its own police, to provide for its peace and for the safety of its citizens, and consequently to refuse the admission of armed vessels into its harbors or waters, either in such numbers or of such descriptions, as are inconsistent with these, or with the maintenance of the authority of the laws, I have thought proper in pursuance of the authorities especially given by law to issue this my PROCLAMATION, hereby requiring all armed vessels bearing commissions under the government of Great Britain, now within the harbors or waters of the United States, immediately and without any delay to depart from the same, and interdicting the entrance of all the said armed vessels, and to all others bearing commissions under the authority of the British government.
And if the said vessels, or any of them, shall fail to depart as aforesaid, or if they or any others, so interdicted, shall hereafter enter the harbors or waters aforesaid, I do in that case forbid all intercourse with them or any of them, their officers or crews, and do prohibit all supplies and aid from being furnished to them or any of them.
And I do declare and make known, that if any person from, or within the jurisdictional limits of the United
States shall afford any aid to any such vessel, contrary to the prohibition contained in this Proclamation, either in repairing any such vessel, or in furnishing her, her officers or crew, with supplies of any kind, or in any manner whatsoever, or if any pilot shall assist in navigating any of the said armed vessels, unless it be for the purpose of carrying them in the first instance, beyond the limits and jurisdiction of the United States, or unless it be in the case of a vessel forced by distress, or charged with public dispatches as herinafter provided for, such person or persons shall, on conviction, suffer all the pains and penalties by the laws provided for such offences.
And I do hereby enjoin and require all persons bearing office, civil or military within or under the authority of the United States, and all others, citizens or inhabitants thereof, or being within the same, with vigilance and promptitude to exert their respective authorities, and to be aiding and assisting to the carrying this Proclamation, and every part thereof, into full effect.
Provided nevertheless, that if any such vessel shall be forced into the harbors or waters of the United States by distress, by the dangers of the sea, or by the pursuit of an enemy, or shall enter them charged with dispatches or business from their government, or shall be a public packet for the conveyance of letters and dispatches, the commanding officer immediately reporting his vessel to the collector of the district, stating the object or causes of entering the said harbors or waters, and conforming himself to the regulations in that case prescribed under the authority of the laws, shall be allowed the benefit of such regulations respecting repairs, supplies, stay, intercourse and departure, as shall be permitted under the same authority.
In testimony whereof, I have caused the seal of the United States to be affixed to these presents and signed the same.
Given at the city of Washington, the second day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seven, and of the sovereignty and Independence of the United States, the thirty-first.
TH: JEFFERSON. By the President.
JAMES MADISON, Secy of State.
WASHINGTON, JULY 1, 1807. We understand, that immediately on receiving information of the issue of the outrage offered to the Chesapeake, the Secretary of the Navy ordered Capt. Decatur to take command of her, and prepare her without delay for service; and likewise ordered an inquiry to be instituted into the conduct of Commander James Barron, on the occasion. The Court of inquiry is composed of Commodore Preble, and Captains Hull and Chauncey, and is to convene on board the Chesapeake.
[Commodore Preble's account of the health, will not be able to attend the Court of Inquiry.]
The following letter has been communicated by Officers of the Chesapeake, to the Secretary of the Navy:
Late U. S. ship Chesapeake, Hampton Roads, June 23, 1807.
SIR,—The undersigned, officers of the late U. S. ship Chesapeake, feeling deeply sensible of the disgrace which must be attached to the late (in their opinion) premature surrender of the U. S. ship Chesapeake, of 40 guns, to the English ship of war Leopard, of 50 guns, without their previous knowledge, or consent, and desirous of proving to their country and the world, that it was the wish of all the undersigned, that we had rendered ourselves worthy of the flag under which they had the honor to serve, by a determined resistance, to an unjust demand, do request the Hon. the Secretary of the Navy to order a court of inquiry into their conduct. At the same time they are compelled by imperious duty, by the honor of their flag, by the honour of their countrymen and by all that is dear to themselves, to request that an order may be issued for the arrest of Commander James Barron, on the charges herewith exhibited, which the undersigned pledge themselves to prove true, viz.
1st. On the probability of an engagement for neglecting to clear his ship for action. 2ndly. For not doing his utmost to take or destroy a vessel which we conceive it his duty to have done. With the highest respect, we subscribe ourselves, Your most obedient servants.
(Signed) BEN. SMITH, 1st Lt. W.M. CRANE, 2d Lt. W. H. ALLEN, 3d Lt. S. ORDE CREIGHTON, 4th Lt. SIDNEY SMITH, 5th Lt. SAML. BROOKS, S. M. The Hon. Robt. Smith, Secretary of the U. S. Navy, Washington.
PHILADELPHIA, JULY 2. The democrats complain loudly that we should censure the administration for that course of policy which we have long predicted would render us the butt of all nations and expose us to the most serious aggressions.
Our predictions are now alarmingly fulfilled. Presuming upon our defenceless situation, instigated by envy at our prosperity, and allured by our rapidly increasing wealth, the British naval officers have, for a considerable time, manifested a disposition to violate our rights, and set our power at defiance. In consequence of these indications, the country called for measures of defence; but the government turned a deaf ear. Instead of building fifteen ships of the line, which would have caused to be respected even by the British,
they gave fifteen millions of dollars to France for what we did not want. Instead of erecting fortifications to defend our commercial towns, from which the whole of our revenue is immediately derived, they made proclamations and built gun boats. The insolence of the English continued to increase and to become more alarming. A negotiation was set on foot and a treaty formed which appeared to be satisfactory to our ministers. The treaty was returned in a manner calculated to excite resentment and irritation; and still no means were adopted to prepare for a rupture. Vessels interdicted by law and the proclamation of the President from ever entering our waters, in consequence of former insolence and aggression, return into our ports and set our power at defiance, without drawing from the executive a single word of resentment, or inducing him to move a hand for our protection. And the last awful crisis is arrived, and our national flag is barbarously stained with the blood of our citizens, while the government is found in a state of total unpreparedness to meet the event. Are we, under such circumstances, to say that all has been well done on the part of the executive? Are we to content ourselves with railing, as the creatures of the administration do at the British? Do not misunderstand us. The British officers merit all the indignation and abhorrence which can possibly be expressed; and if they have acted from the orders of their government, we cannot avoid taking up the sword to chastise that government. But it is all our resentment to do here? If your servant, contrary to his duty and your repeated orders, leaves your house open at night, especially if he does it after having been again and again apprized that the neighbourhood is infested with villains and robbers, and in consequence of this negligence your house is plundered by villains, your wife insulted, and your children murdered, your first object would be to apprehend and punish the perpetrators of the villainy. But in doing this, would you forget that you were indebted to the criminal unfaithfulness of your servant, for the disgrace and bereavement which you have sustained? Would you be so far to be told by his comrades that it would be unjust in you to turn him out of place or to give him a bad character? Would you calmly listen to hear them assert that the robbers who committed the outrage were the only persons in fault, and that your resentment ought to be directed to them alone? If so, you will join with the democrats in the present instance in condemning me for calling the attention of the nation as well to the criminal negligence of our own executive, as to the criminal violence of the aggressors.
JULY 3. Gen. Eaton yesterday passed through this city, on his return to the northward from Richmond. A gentleman who was in his company, assures us that Gen. Eaton had publicly mentioned a conversation he had with the President, in the early part of this week; in the course of which, Mr. Jefferson told Gen. Eaton that, special instructions had been given to Com. Barron to suffer no officer of any nation to take from him any man or men under his command, but to be prepared to resist any such attempt at any hazard.
We have seen a letter from a gentle man of the naval department, which states that if the Chesapeake was not in a condition to fight, it was not from a want of every requisite that government could supply.
FREDERICKSBURG, JUNE 29. A gentleman, charged with dispatches from the President to the Attorney for the United States, at Richmond, passed through town yesterday afternoon. The gentleman, it is said observed, that "the disclosure of the dispatches would astonish the world."
BOSTON, JULY 9. We have been told, that while Mr. King was resident in London, he received from government, instructions, to inform this principle, "that our flag, must in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER protect its seamen"—that in discussing the principle, with the British Ministers, abundant proof was shewn, how injuriously such a principle would operate against themselves; that the acknowledgment of such a right would cause the desertion of half their seamen, and we eventually destroy that maritime strength, by which their commerce, if not their sovereignty was protected; but while engaged in a war with powers, whose extended sea coast required numerous ships of war to cover they could not yield to a principle so dangerous in its effects; but that to shew their readiness in meeting the principle half way, they were willing to say, that no ship bearing the flag of the U. S. should be searched for British seamen; but that such seamen, as should desert from the British navy, and enter on board American vessels, on a representation being made to our government, and the evidence of their desertion, and their birth, being furnished by the complainant, should, in that case, be surrendered. Whether this principle was contained in the late Treaty from Great Britain we know not; as Mr. Jefferson has not condescended to inform the public what sort of principles it did contain. Considering the situation, however, in which Great Britain is now placed, it is not candid to say, they offered fairly. If Mr. Jefferson, therefore, has refused this principle of dividing the right claimed, and of thus accommodating the differences; and the unhappy affair which has taken place in Chesapeake, should turn out to be the result of his non-acceptance of the same, we are then compelled to this conclusion, that he is forcing us into a war with Great Britain by the demand of a right, on which the people of this country are not sensibly interested; and which many cool, reflecting, and judicious Americans, consider as unjust and overbearing.
[Bos. Gaz.]
SPANISH AGGRESSIONS.
The following is an extract of a letter, just received from a correspondent at Cadiz, dated April 30th 1807. "The Spanish privateers have already commenced capturing our vessels bound to Gibraltar under the blockading decree; my young man writes me one condemnation grounded thereon has already taken place."
To a certainty every vessel that may be found in, with, bound in or out of Gibraltar, or with destination to any English port will be captured and condemned. In fact, open war seems to be declared on the American commerce, by the privateers and the Spanish Tribunals; their decrees are without one solitary exception ratified by the Supreme Tribunals, and sanctioned by the government.

In the New-York Public Advertiser, last week, several measures were enumerated that we might adopt against the British in case of war; Among them were the following:
"We can suspend the payment of British commercial debts."
"We can seize the stock held by British subjects in our banks and funds."
As a comment on these propositions take the following permanent article of our present treaty with England:
Article 10.
"Neither the debts due from individuals of the one nation to individuals of the other, nor shares, nor monies which they may have in the public funds, or in the public or private banks, shall ever, in any event of war or national difference, be sequestered or confiscated, it being unjust and impolitic, that debts and engagements contracted and made by individuals, having confidence in each other; and in their respective governments, should ever be destroyed or impaired by national authority, on account of national differences and discords."
Sir E. BURDETTE and Lord COCHRANE have been chosen members of the British Parliament for Westminster. WILBERFORCE and Lord Howe, it was expected, would lose their elections. ROSCOE is not chosen for Liverpool.
Communication.
To the Editor of the Portland Gazette.
SIR,
PROCEEDING on a small tour through the United States, I have been much affected to hear the news from Norfolk—and as a British subject I feel it my duty to offer a few strictures on an occurrence which has attracted much public observation. I have noticed your paper as being conducted with temperate principles, and I hope you will have no objection to insert anything that may lead to a fair and candid discussion on a subject of the highest importance to two great Countries.
The Boston Gazette of the 6th inst. gives extracts from the Norfolk Ledger of the 24th ult. and Herald of the 25th. I think I can feel for the honor of America as warmly as for that of Great Britain; but indeed, Mr. Editor, it appears to me that the people of Norfolk are acting under the impulse of a most unjustifiable impetuosity and want of candor. And their public papers, which should always be the moderators of mankind, are just now exerting a passion not to reason, and stimulating the multitude to acts of blind and infuriate violence. The Herald introduces the circumstance by stating the Chesapeake's arrival without colours, and the officers without arms. Is this a fair Commencement? How came the ship to leave her colors, and the officers their arms? Such is not the fact. Then follows a list of the killed (three in number) and the wounded, with their places of settlement, evidently for the purpose of exciting the people of those settlements to enmity and revenge. It is stated that one sentiment only appeared among the people; "tempered however by resignation to the will of government." The resolutions are next inserted; and in their outset on the subject of the justice of foreign nations, those words are introduced in a parenthesis ("if such a sentiment as that of justice was to be found among them")
The words are blended with an ardent inclination for the preservation of peace, and to secure a friendly disposition, &c. Then—"we behold our fellow citizens impressed and forced by a tyrannical and arbitrary power, to fight against their own country, and basely and insidiously murdered on our coasts."
The terms tyrannical and arbitrary, insidious murderers, &c. even applied to an enemy's country, do not evince either the valor or the liberality of the writer—nor do I see how it is proved that those men (even supposing them to be American) were to fight against their countrymen—in the same strain it is stated that the attack was made by four British ships. Fortunately Mr. Editor, over zeal may sometimes defeat a mischievous wish, under the current of such assertions however, those peaceable citizens proceed to something more than an indirect declaration of war; and endeavor to enslave government into a participation.
Men who know the imperious necessity of steady subordination, will consider whether a general officer supports his own respectability, and the law of the nations, by encouraging the wanton act of a mob, in destroying two hundred water casks, belonging to the ship of a nation, with whom the Americans are engaged in intimate and extensive commerce.
Now Sir, as an humble, and a very unworthy advocate, will you give me leave to state the British side of the
question? Supposing (which I do not suppose) that the Norfolk Papers give an impartial account of the business. The Ledger of the 24th, in proof that the Leopard acted under orders of the British government, states that those four men belonged to the Halifax Sloop of war in March last—that they remained in a boat at Hampton Roads—rose upon their officer—threatened to throw him overboard, and pulled for the shore, when they entered with an officer then enlisting for the Chesapeake Frigate.
A formal demand of the men was made from the officer, who refused to deliver them—the demand was regularly followed up at Washington, without redress. Now, Mr. Editor, if those men had escaped to Rochefort, in France, or Cadiz, in Spain, and that a like demand had been made by the British, the professed enemies of the countries, I would beg leave to ask, what would have been the result?—Those nations would have felt indignant at the thought of harbouring murderers, and they would have been instantly sent back in Irons. Suppose four murderers had escaped from the Chesapeake to the English shore, and had been demanded, I say sir, that the British would have found, and sent back the men. How can subordination be preserved, if mutiny is to be encouraged, and protected by our friends? The Navy of England is immense—their commerce is great, their country is small. British sailors are proportionably precious.—It is galling to see those sailors placed out of the power of their country by protections, many of which, which is allowed in America, are improperly obtained. The papers seem to forget that this affair took place between two Frigates at sea, after due notice having been given of the immediate consequences of a refusal.
I am willing to suppose that these publications were the neat of national pique; and I hope that they may be received in England under the same persuasion; but they are coupled in the Boston papers with some threats from the New-York Advertiser, which I am afraid may have an unpleasant effect in England, with respect to credit and trade in general. As to an embargo—the Non-Importation act—ruin of the West-India trade—and bankruptcy of England by the scratch of a pen—they are all very well to read about—But when it is threatened to suspend the payment of British commercial debts, and to seize the Bank-stock of British subjects, I rather think it possible that John Bull may feel an alarm which will ring in his ears longer than the adjustment of the present differences and induce him to draw in the bonds of the field of credit in future.
These remarks, Mr. Editor, are made from a good motive, however they may be received—they come from a citizen of the World, and a sincere well wisher of America—who AN ENGLISHMAN.
BURR'S TRIAL.
RICHMOND, JUNE 26. The Grand Jury delivered the following indictments to the Clerk, viz
Table with 3 columns: The United States, John Dayton, John Smith, Comfort Tyler, Israel Smith, Davis Floyd. Includes case names like 'for High Treason' and 'TRUE BILL'.
The Chief Justice in the name of the Court, thanked the Grand Jury for their attention, attendance and perseverance, in this long and laborious investigation. They were then discharged; and the Court adjourned on the motion of Mr. Hay, until twelve.
The Court met at 12. Mr. Bots rose to make a motion that some prison or place of confinement of a more suitable nature than the one now in use should be prepared for Col. Burr. That the prison in Richmond was a disgrace to humanity. That the place of confinement at present allowed to Col. Burr, is only a room of about 10 feet square in which a man and his wife are at present lodged. That the apartment moreover is overrun with vermin, and the only music which is heard is the rattling of chains. Mr. Bots quoted an act which empowers the court to commit to the flat jail, or any other jail, which they may think proper. He said he understood that either from a natural apprehension, or an artificial apprehension, a company of military were stationed round the jail. That such a multitude, would be sufficient to prevent his escape in any place of confinement, or even at his own lodgings. Mr. Bots asked, would it not be a disgrace to the annals of this country, if it were recorded at this particular time, when the whole country was at peace, that one, in Col. Burr's situation, should suffer through negligence and default.
Mr. Wickham, begged leave to add a few words—Col. Burr's sufferings have been and are intolerable. I have seen this gentleman in many situations. I have seen him in one of the most elevated situations of this country. I have seen him dragged to this city in the most inhuman manner; and have seen him in the place which he is at present placed, in which situations he has preserved the same frame. He then concluded by praying the Court to alter the situation of his confinement. Mr. Martin spoke at some length in support either of admitting Col. Burr to bail, or

removing him to some other place of confinement. He said, he himself and several others, were ready to join him, in admitting Col. Burr to bail in one hundred thousand dollars. That he had full confidence in Col. Burr's honor and integrity; and if he only pledged his word to the court that he would attend, that he would place full reliance upon his parole.
The Court expressed their reluctance to interfere, but thought the Executive might. Mr. Edmund Randolph. The Court are of opinion that they have the power under certain circumstances, of appointing proper persons to examine the accused persons. The Constitution, and the amendments to the Constitution, authorize the court to do this. You have heard, Sir, from the gentlemen who are associated with me, the situation of the jail in which Col. Burr is confined—I have been there once, and I confess whether from the ingredients that may have excited my feelings, I feel a reluctance to visit that place again.
The Court after consideration, agreed that the Marshal, if he pleased, might procure a safe room for the keeping of Col. Burr. Mr. William Marshall, the Clerk, then put the following question to Colonel Burr: "Guilty, or not Guilty." Col. Burr. I acknowledge myself to be a person named in that indictment, to which I plead not guilty, and accordingly throw myself upon my country for trial.
Major Scott, the Marshal, then entered, and informed the Court, that he had examined the room in which Col. Burr lodged, and that in his opinion with a guard of seven men and a Deputy Marshal, he would be perfectly secure.
The Court then requested that the counsel for Col. Burr should make an affidavit as to the circumstances which they had mentioned respecting the jail.
Mr. E. Randolph read a paper, which he said, he and the associate Counsel had agreed to for that purpose. This paper stated the same facts as those mentioned by Mr. Bots, Mr. Wickham, and Mr. Randolph.
SATURDAY, JUNE 27. The Court decided that an attachment should not be issued against Wilkinson. The first Monday in August was assigned for the trial of Burr. The Petit Jury to be summoned from the country where the overt acts or acts were laid to have been committed. Mr. Martin moved that Burr's witnesses be bound to attend & should be compensated.
MONDAY, JUNE 29. Mr. Hay informed that the Executive of Virginia, had offered apartments in the State prison for the accommodation of Burr. It was ordered he should be confined there.
Portland, Monday, July 13, 1807.
United States vs. Great-Britain. At no period since the revolution, has the situation of this country been more alarming than at the present moment. The truth of this political maxim, "in peace prepare for war," was never illustrated in stronger colors than in the events of the past month. A regard for the interest and safety of the country, has compelled us frequently to bear testimony against the wisdom and policy of the present administration—particularly in regard to the management of our foreign relations, and arguably means which have been pursued in adopting measures of national defence and protection. But we do not think the present time by any means proper to indulge in political strictures.
Our determination is to adhere to a moderate, yet independent course—to exercise the right of approving or condemning the measures of government, as they may appear to bear in relation to the public welfare. On the subject of the late affair between an American and British frigates, many resolutions have been entered into in a number of the principal seaports; but we are opposed to these proceedings, both in principle and practice—as they usurp the prerogative of the government, and tend to promote a spirit of enmity and revenge predicated on misrepresentation and erroneous statements.
To the government we look for the adoption of wise and prudent measures—and whether Mr. Jefferson, or whoever may be in office, shall be the author of them, we shall be as ready to yield our support as any of the exclusive partisans of the present day. The President's proclamation, in this day's Gazette, will be read with interest; and the sentiments it contains ought to meet the approbation of all. It is for the interest of this country and England to be on terms of peace and friendship. With this view, it appears the President has resolved on a representation to the British government, with a just expectation that "honorable reparation will be made for the wrong that has been done."
Every sober, reflecting mind would pronounce it madness and ruinous in the extreme, to plunge the country in war, or adopt war measures in our present situation, with a commerce extended over the four quarters of the world—wholly without the means of protecting it. The consequence of a war with Great-Britain, would be a national bankruptcy. But perhaps it will be asked, shall we always submit to insult and outrage? No—but let us first ascertain that war is the only means of preserving independence and honor. We are at present destitute of the means necessary to carry the proclamation into effect. But the resources of the country allow, and we hope to see the day when they will be put in requisition, and a naval force provided sufficient to drive British, French and Spanish men of war from our coasts at all times. Let the citizens of the United States act worthy of themselves, let the union of all honest men, a union of men of talents, patriotism and virtue. Recollect, when the tone of the Executive was "Millions for defence but not a cent for tribute," and the spirit of the country beat in unison with the sentiment.
We understand the Secretary of the Navy has ordered all the Gun Boats belonging to the United States, to be fitted for service with all possible dispatch. Letters from Admiral BERGLEY, for the British minister and Consul General passed through Boston post office last Thursday.
IMPORTANT. Extract of a letter from a source of great respectability, dated Baltimore, July 5. "Commodore DECATUR, (who now commands the Chesapeake,) writes, that the British commanders in Hampton Roads, declare they will consider a Proclamation, similar to that issued against the Leander, an act of war, and will commence hostilities immediately. They have threatened to take the Chesapeake."
LATEST FROM NORFOLK. The Newyork Gazette of Wednesday, says, "We learn by capt. Creighton, from Norfolk, that the four British ships of war, on Friday last week, moved up from Lynnhaven-bay, and anchored about 3 o'clock, P.M. abreast of Hampton; which is about ten miles below Norfolk. It was said, at Norfolk, that the British squadron had sunk wells at Old Point Comfort, but it was not known whether they had procured water. It is said, the British squadron cannot proceed to sea until they have a supply of water; being nearly destitute of that article."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Newyork, dated July 6, to a merchant in Portsmouth. "Business is somewhat affected by the recent outrage at Virginia, the prevalent opinion here is, there can be no apprehension of war. Mr. Erskine, the British Minister has written the President "that it is an unauthorized business," and the schooner Enterprise is to be sent immediately to England—So says Mr. Clinton the Vice-President, who arrived here on Friday.
The Aurora declares that the Chesapeake frigate was completely fitted, and ought to have been ready for action, when attacked by the Leopard.
A letter from Baltimore, dated July 5th, says, "It is certain 4000 cannon balls, 24 and 32-pounders have been shipped by the Navy Agent here, for Norfolk."
A letter from New-York, July 7, says, "The advocates for an efficient Navy, increase daily, and measures for fortifying our coasts will immediately commence. There is perfect unanimity of political sentiments here."
Mr. Erskine, the British Minister, was at New-York, when the outrage took place on the Chesapeake—He immediately left for Washington, and on the 6th passed through Philadelphia.
A letter from Washington, July 4th, says, "Since the President's Proclamation, every thing has been tranquil here—It is not expected Congress will be called together; and it must be recollected, that by the Constitution of the United States, the power to "declare war" is alone vested in Congress."
It appears by the poetry tacked to the following volunteer Toasts, drank at the democratic celebration of the 4th of July in this town, that federalism haunts the imagination of the democrats as the ghost of the murdered does the guilty conscience of the murderer:
 By Mr. Isley—Federal Delusion— "The charm dissolves a pace, And as the morning steals upon the night, Melting the darkness, so their rising sense Begin to chase the ignorant fumes that mantle Their clearer reason."  By Mr. S. Thatcher—The Squatters of Maine—May they continue their exertions till federalism in Massachusetts shall be squatted into nothingness.  By Mr. Joshua Wingate—Federalism, an exotic production, may it soon be totally destroyed by the genial plant of democracy.  By the Orator, (D. W. Lincoln)—The administration of the federal government— "In spite of calumnious detouring time, The endeavor of this present breath will try That honor, which shall baste his scythe's keen edge, And make them heirs of all eternity."  By the Orator, (D. W. Lincoln)—Federal test of damnation— "Cronk 'not black angel, we have no food for thee!"  The federal faction— "They felt a fever of the mind, and played Some tricks of desperation." 
It is worthy of notice, that the grand jury at Richmond have not found a bill of any sort; against either of the persons sent from New-Orleans to Washington by order of Wilkinson. Those persons were, Messrs Adair, Ogden, Swartwout, Bollman and Alexander. Gen. W. must have a great account to settle with those persons.
The Court Martial which tried Whitby , was composed of the following persons: Admiral Montague, President. Rear-Admiral Sir I. Coffin, Bart. Captains Lawford, S. H. Linzee, Hon. C. Boyle, A. E. R. Baker, Nesham Irwin, Graves, J. Brisbane, Sumervill, Bettesworth, and D. McLeod.
DIED. At Norfolk, 27th ult. at the Marine Hospital, Robert Macdonald, one of the seamen wounded on board the Chesapeake frigate, by a shot from the Leopard—On the 18th, his funeral was attended by nearly four thousand citizens; the body was brought over from the Hospital Point attended by a procession of boats, to the Market wharf. Minute guns from the artillery fired during the time, all the American shipping with colours half mast. Arrived at the County wharf, a procession was formed, which marched through the principal streets to Christ Church, where an appropriate, impressive and patriotic discourse was delivered to a most numerous congregation. On his passage, from Liverpool for Boston, 14th May capt. William Haswell, late of the ship Wanderer, aged 23.
SHIPPING MEMORANDA. We learn from Cadiz, that vessels cleared for Gibraltar were detained in Algeciras, also, if in want of any of the consular certificates.—The British were very kind in giving convoy, whether they discharged cargoes or only stopped for supplies; having orders from their government to that effect. No vessel left Gibraltar as late as 19th April without convoy.
The sch. Commerce, arrived at Norfolk, from Jamaica, was boarded 11th June, off Grand Cumana, from the British sloop of war Drake, and treated politely: On the 12th, from a French privateer, which robbed her of the yawl, tea stores, and the captain's wearing apparel, and gave an old boat in exchange: The same privateer robbed sch. Mary, fr. Jamaica, for N. Carolina, of a puncheon of rum, &c.
The brig Ceres, arrived at Newyork, fr. Jamaica, was boarded by a French privateer, which plundered her of all her cabin stores and a lhd. of rum; and robbed Mr. De Aguilar and lady, passengers, of 1500 dollars worth of plate, wearing apparel, &c.
The brig Lucy, at Baltimore, fr. Maracaibo, was boarded off Jacmel, from a French privateer, and robbed of a quantity of coffee, dry goods, all the cabin stores, cook's utensils, spare rigging, &c.
BOSTON, JUNE 9. The French privateersmen, who boarded and robbed the ship Augustus, arrived here fr. Liverpool, on searching a trunk belonging to the late captain Haswell, and finding it contained evidences of his being a FREEMASON, would not take away any of its valuable contents.
The sch. —, Capt. Butler, ar. on Saturday, 7 days from Norfolk, passed the British squadron, in co. with about 20 sail of various descriptions, and no attempt was made to board any of them.
The ship Leopard, which attacked the Chesapeake, sailed from Halifax June 11. The sch. Mohawk, Capt. Newcomb, arrived here on Monday, 12 days from Alexandria. Capt. Newcomb was boarded on the 28th June, from the British fleet, in Hampton Roads, and treated politely. A brig which appeared to be armed, was lying with the fleet. The boarding officer informed of the affair of the Chesapeake, called it a brush and hoped nothing more serious would come of it. He appeared anxious to know how the occurrence affected the citizens.

For sale by Daniel Johnson, AT THE PORTLAND BOOKSTORE, Sentiments on Resignation, By the Rev. ROSWELL MESSINGER, of York. THE following general character of the work is given by the Rev Dr. HEM- MENWAY: "The Sentiments on Resignation , are, like the celebrated Night Thoughts , effusions of a heart exercised with sore affliction. The author, soon after his settlement in the gospel ministry, with agreeable prospects of usefulness and com- fort, had his prospects darkened by distressing calamities, which issued at length in a total privation of his sight. On this occasion his mind was turned, with peculiar attention, to the great duty of Resignation to the will of God. Finding light arising upon him in dark- ness from his meditations on this subject bene- volence prompted a desire that others might partake with him, in the instruction and con- solation he had found in time of need. With this view he has, notwithstanding the obvious difficulties and disadvantages he must have been under, in being obliged to make use of borrow- ed pens, offered his thoughts to the considera- tion of the public. In the perusal of the sen- timents here exhibited, we doubt not but that the pious and devout christian will find much agreeable entertainment, with seasonable ed- ifying instruction. If any should think the language more highly ornamented with the flowers and figures of rhetoric, than is suited to the understanding of the lower class of readers, it should also be considered that per- sons of a more elegant taste have as much need as any to exercise and cultivate "Sentiments of Resignation," and should therefore be fur- nished with instructions on the subject in a manner, suited, by striking the fancy, to en- gage the attention and touch the heart. Up- on the whole, whatever defects or inadverten- cies a critical eye may discern, in this per- formance, we think they are less and fewer than one would have expected, when the circum- stances above mentioned are considered; and that the work will do the author honor, and we trust will be extensively useful."

To the Honorable the Justices of the Court of General Sessions of the Peace, begun and held at Paris, within and for the County of Oxford, on the second Tuesday of May, A. D. 1807. THE Petition of the subscribers, inhabitants of the town of Livermore, Jay, Dixfield, and Plantations Number four, Number five, Number three and Number six, all in said County, humbly shew—That your Petitioners suffer much inconvenience occasioned by the want of a direct road to Hallowell, in the county of Kennebec, being now necessitated to travel on a road very circuitous over bad and unfuitable lands, for that purpose; and they humbly conceive that the lands in a direc- tion from Bowleys Mills, in said Number five, through said Number four, Dixfield, Jay, and Livermore, to the town line of Fayette, in said county of Kennebec, near Jolly Brook (so called) are with ease, capable of being made a good road, and the same when made, will there meet a county road leading directly to said Hallowell, and thus will much diminish the distance which your Petitioners are now obliged to travel—your petitioners further represent that the greater part of the route which they hereby propose for a county road, is over and similar to roads as they are already traveled, and thus its establishment would draw after it very little expense—they there- fore pray that your honors would appoint a Committee to say out the same, similarly to the plan herewith exhibited, and according to the statute in such cases made and provided. And as in duty bound will ever pray. THOMAS DAVIS, and 76 others. By ZACHARIAH SOULE, their attorney.

Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! WHEN the attention of the public is sole- cited by the author of a recent dis- cerning and declaiming on its virtues he be- comes the panegyrist of his own merits, he will naturally incur the imputation of vanity, but it is not impossible that with such a de- fect, more noble qualities may be united.— Instead, therefore, of judging liberally re- specting the motives of those who make them- selves the heroes of their own tale, ought we not rather to encourage individuals of active and cultivated minds, to present us with the details of their professional progress, with the fruits of their experience, and with the result of their matured reflections." DENNISON'S Improved Jaundice Bitters; OR THE Grand Antiphlogistic Corrective. The Jaundice is discovered by want of ap- petite, costiveness, dullness and oppression, at times an irresistible propensity for sleep, and at others, too great watchfulness, a ye- nefs is by degrees diffused over the com- plexion, tinges the urine, and whole mass of the fluids are infected with bilious secretions and in process of time the blood acquires a ten- dency to dissolution and putrefaction; in these cases it either degenerates into a drop- sy or ends in an apoplexy. A distich-gally urine is considered by the most learned of the profession, as a means for a length of time to preserve the life of the patient. That by an evacuation of bilious matter, the system may be freed from the bad consequences which ensue on its stagnation in the habit; to a com- plish which desirable effect, and to correct and prevent the putridity of bile, a better medicine than here described, has never been discovered.
They are particularly serviceable in habitual costiveness, and in an oppressed and weak stomach. They are gratefully warm and pur- gomatic; especially in the coldest manner, without immediately heating or in- flaming the bowels; they are extremely ser- viceable in all seasons, but in the course of my practice I have proved them particularly so on the approach of warm weather, when bil- ious habits experience such a total loss of ap- petite, listlessness and oppression; in such in- stances, by the application of this remedy the stomach is invariably fortified, appetite and digestion effectually promoted, and plentiful perspiration produced. They possess moreover the property, peculiar to themselves, of qualifying and ameliorating those inflammatory pernicious qualities, inherent in ardent spirits and so often fatal when taken upon an empty stomach, and converts them into a wholesome, pleasant and invigorating stomachic. Being peculiarly adapted to cleanse the urinary pas- sages, they are singularly serviceable in drop- sy, by giving tone to the solids, enriching the blood, and invigorating the whole system. From their celebrity as an antidote against the scurvy, they are particularly calculated for seafaring persons, to whose attention they are respectfully recommended. Persons leading sedentary inactive lives, are most in- jected to these complaints. All, therefore, in such situations, though not immediately ad- ware of inconveniences, would act wisely by securing a continuance of health, by means of this generous stomachic, as well as all epi- curies and bon vivants who wish for a deli- cious and delicate preparative for the appetite, the best companion at the festive board.
