LINES presented a Young Lady, by her husband, on the day of their marriage:
WITHIN thy bosom, lovely maid, May thy companion find, A treasure plac'd, by nature made, A virtuous thinking mind. Be this my lot, I ask no more, Of earthly good to share, Save rosy health, heav'n's choicest gift, To ease my anxious care.
May this day's union lasting prove, A bond of social peace; May Heaven smile on mutual love, Domestic joys increase.
Be this my lot, I ask no more Of worldly joys to share, Save rosy health, heav'n's choicest gift, To ease my anxious care.
This day from her I do receive A gift of generous kind, Who feels a parent's care to leave, To bless a foreign mind.
May duty, gratitude and truth, Repay her for her love; Let health and virtue, bless the youth, She gave and I approve.
From this day's rite, may all mankind Find benefits, though small: May misery find our cottage more Open to nature's call.
If this be mine I'll ask no more Of social joys to share, Save rosy health, heav'n's choicest gift, To ease my anxious care.
Strange, but true!!!
Rhesa Elton, of Claverack, addresses himself to all wondering, news-gaping mortals, and tells them plainly that he is married. To others he will say.
Married, at Redhook, on Monday the 3d of August inst. by the Rev. Mr. Kittle, Rhesa Elton, of Claverack, to Maria Wey Murray, of the former place, after a courtship of seven years.
Let censure wield her shafts, I heed them not,
My former follies now shall be forgot— Or recollected, but to turn my mind To Justice, Friendship, Love to all mankind.—Balance.
Circuit Court.....Richmond.
Trial of Col. Burr.
RICHMOND, AUGUST 18.
The Judge having given his opinion, that evidence, touching the previous conduct of the prisoner, but relevant to the overt act of treason, was admissible;
GEN. EATON
was called up, and gave in the following testimony:—“Concerning an overt act, which goes to prove Aaron Burr guilty of treason, I know nothing concerning certain transactions which are said to have happened at Bladensburg or at any other place, or any agency which Aaron Burr may be supposed to have had in them I know nothing. But concerning Col. Burr's expressions of treasonable intentions, I know much, and it is to these that my evidence relates.—Mr. Martin. I know not how far the court's opinion extends.— Ch. Justice . It is this: that any proof of intention formed before the act itself, if relevant to the act, may be admitted. One witness may prove the intention at one time; and another may prove it at another; so as to prove the continuance of the intention throughout the whole transaction; and therefore the proof of very remote intentions may be relevant to this particular act. Mr. Martin. I trust that when he speaks of a treasonable intention not applicable to this act, the court will stop him.
Mr. Eaton. During the winter of 1805-6, I cannot be positive as to the distinct point of time, yet, during that winter at the city of Washington, Aaron Burr signified to me that he was organizing an expedition to be moved against the Spanish Provinces on the South-Western Frontiers of the United States. I understood under the authority of the General Government. From our existing controversies with Spain, and from the tenor of the President's Communications to both Houses of Congress, a conclusion was naturally drawn, that war with that power was inevitable. I had just then returned from the coast of Africa, and having been many years employed on your frontiers or on a coast more barbarous and obscure, I was ignorant of the estimation in which Col. B. was held by his country.—The distinguished rank he had held in society, and the strong marks of confidence which he had received from his fellow citizens, did not permit me to doubt of his patriotism. As a military character, I had been acquainted with no one within the U. S. under whose direction a soldier might with greater security confide his honor. In case of my country's being involved in a war, I should have thought it my duty to obey to honorable a call; as was proposed to me. Under impressions like these I did engage to embark in the enterprise, and pledged myself to Col. B's confidence. At several interviews it appeared to be his intention to convince me
by maps and other documents of the feasibility of penetrating to Mexico. At length from certain indirect expressions and inuendoes I admitted a suspicion, that Col. B. had other projects. He used strong expressions of reproach against the administration of the government: accused them of want of character, want of energy, want of gratitude. He seemed desirous of irritating my resentment by dilating on certain injurious strictures I had received on the floor of Congress on account of certain transactions on the coast of Tripoli; and also on the delays in adjusting my accounts for advances of money on account of the United States; and talked of pointing out to me modes of honorable indemnity. I will not conceal here, that Col. Burr had good grounds of reason for supposing me disaffected towards government: I had indeed suffered much from delays in adjusting my accounts for cash advanced to the government, whilst I was confined at Tunis, and for the expense of maintaining the war with Tripoli. I had but a short time before been compelled ingloriously to strike the flag of my country on the ramparts of a defeated enemy, where it had flown for 45 days. I had been compelled to abandon my comrades in war, on the fields where they had fought our battles. I had been called to account, to the half vanquished Chief of Tripoli (as he had himself acknowledged) as the price of pacification.—(Mr. Wickham. By whom? A. By our negotiator)—when as yet no exertion had been made by our naval squadron to coerce that enemy. I had seen the conduct of the author of these blemishes on our then proud national character, if not commended—not censured; whilst my own inadequate efforts to support that character were attempted to be thrown into shade. To feelings naturally arising out of circumstances like these, I did give strong expressions.—Here I beg leave to observe, in justice to myself, that however strong those expressions, however harsh the language I employed, they would not justify the inference, that I was prepared to dip my finger in the blood of my countrymen; much less of their children, which I believe would have been the case, had this conspiracy been carried into effect. (Mr. Martin objected to this language.) I listened to Col. B's mode of indemnity; and as I had by this time begun to suspect that the military expedition he had on foot was unlawful, I permitted him to believe myself resigned to his influence, that I might understand the extent and motive of his arrangements. Col. B now laid open his project of revolutionizing the Territory west of the Alleghany; establishing an independent empire there, New Orleans to be the capital, and he himself to be the Chief; organizing a military force on the waters of the Mississippi, and carry conquest to Mexico. After much conversation (which I do not particularly recollect) respecting the feasibility of the project; as was natural, I stated impediments to its operations: such as the republican habits of the citizens of that country, their attachment to the present administration of government, the want of funds, the opposition he would experience from the regular army of the United States, stationed on that frontier; and the resistance to be expected from Miranda, in case he should succeed in republicanizing the Mexicans. Col. B. seemed to have no difficulty in removing these obstacles. He stated to me, that he had in person (I think the preceding season) made a tour through that country; that he had secured to his interests and attached to his person the most distinguished citizens of Tennessee, Kentucky and territory of Orleans; that he had inexhaustible resources and funds; that the army of the United States would act with him; that it would be reinforced by 10 or 12,000 men from the above mentioned states and territory; that he had powerful agents in the Spanish Territory, and “as for Miranda,” said Mr. Burr, facetiously, “we must hang Miranda.”
In the course of repeated conversations on this subject, he proposed to give me a distinguished command in his army; I understood the second command. I asked him, who would command in chief. He said, General Wilkinson. I observed that it was singular, that he should count upon Gen. Wilkinson. The distinguished command and high trust he held under government, as the commander in chief of our army; and as the governor of a Province, he would not be apt to put at hazard for any precarious projects of aggrandizement. Col. Burr stated that Gen. Wilkinson balanced in the confidence of his country; that it was doubtful whether he would much longer retain the distinction and confidence he now enjoyed; and that he was prepared to secure to himself a permanency. I asked Col. B. if he knew General Wilkinson. He said, yes; and echoed the question. I told him that 12 years ago, I was at the same time a captain in his wing of the legion of the U. S. his acting brigade major and aid de-camp; and that I thought I knew him well. He asked me, what I knew of Gen. W. I said, I knew Gen. W. would act as Lieut. to no man in existence. “You are in an error,” said Mr. B. “Wilkinson will act as Lieutenant to me.” From the tenor of much conversation on this subject, I was prevailed on to believe that the plan of revolution mediated by Col. Burr, and communicated to me, had been concerted with Gen. W. and would have his co-operation; for Col. B. repeatedly, and very confidently expressed his belief, that the influence of Gen. W. with his army the promise of dis-
play and rations, the ambition of his officers, and the prospect of plunder and military achievements, would bring the army generally into the measure. I paled over here, a conversation which took place between Col. B. and myself, respecting a central revolution, as it is decided to be irrelevant by the opinion of the bench. (Mr. Hay. You allude to a revolution for overthrowing the government at Washington and of revolutionizing the eastern states.) I was passing over that to come down to the period when I supposed he had relinquished that design, and returned to his project in the west. I was thoroughly convinced myself, that such a project was already so far organized, as to be dangerous, and that it would require an effort to suppress it. For in addition to positive assurances that Col. B. had assistance and co-operation, he said that the vast extent of territory of the United States beyond the mountains which offered to adventurers together with a view on the mines of Mexico, would bring adherents to him from all quarters of the union.—The situation in which these communications and the impressions they made upon me, placed me in, was peculiarly delicate. I had no avert act to produce against Col. B. He had given me nothing upon paper; nor did I know of any person in the vicinity, who had received from him any communications and whose testimony might support mine. He had mentioned to me none, as principally and decidedly engaged with him. Gen. Wilkinson; a Mr. Allison, who I afterwards learnt was his son-in-law; and a Mr. Ephraim Kirby, who I learnt was late a captain of Rangers in Wayne's army. Of Gen. W. Burr said much, as I have stated: of Mr. Allison very little, but enough to satisfy me that he was engaged in the project, and of Kirby he said that he was brigade major in the vicinity of Cincinnati, (whether C in Ohio or Kentucky, I know not,) who had much influence with the militia, and had already engaged the majority of the brigade to which he belonged, who were ready to march at Mr. Burr's signal. Mr. Burr talked of this revolution as a matter of right, inherent in the people and constitutional; a revolution which would rather be advantageous than detrimental to the Atlantic States; a revolution, which must eventually take place; and for the operation of which the present crisis was peculiarly favorable; that there was no energy to be dreaded in the general government, and his conversations denoted a confidence, that his arrangements were so well made that he should meet with no opposition at New Orleans; for the army, and the chief citizens of that place were ready to receive him. On the solitary ground upon which I stood, I was at a loss how to conduct myself, though at no loss as it respected my duty. I durst not place my lonely testimony in the balance against the weight of Col. B's character, for by turning the tables upon me, which I thought any man capable of such a project might very confidently do, I should risk under the weight. I relieved therefore with myself, to obtain the removal of Mr. B. from this country, in a way honorable to him, and on this I did consult him without his knowing my motives. Accordingly I waited on the President of the U. S. and after a diffident conversation, in which I aimed to draw his attention to the west, I said to him (I took the liberty of suggesting to him,) that I thought Col. B. ought to be removed from the country, because I considered him dangerous in it. The President asked where we should send him. I said to England or Madrid, though it has been said in some publications that I added Cadiz. (In such a matter of delicacy) seemed to think the truth too important, and expressed something like a doubt about the integrity of Mr. B. I frankly told the President that perhaps no person had stronger grounds to suspect that integrity than I had; but that I believed his pride of ambition had so predominated over his other passions, that when placed on an eminence, and put on his honor, a respect to himself would secure his fidelity. I perceived that the subject was disagreeable to the President, and to bring him to my point in the shortest mode and in a manner that would point to the danger; I said to him, if Col. B. was not disposed of, we should in eighteen months have an insurrection, if not a revolution on the waters of the Mississippi. The President said he had so much confidence in the information, the integrity, and attachment of the people of that country to the union, to admit any apprehensions of that kind. The circumstance of no interrogatories being made to me, I thought, imposed silence upon me at that time and place. Here, Sir, I beg indulgence to declare my motives for recommending that gentleman to a foreign mission at that time, and in the solemnity with which I stand here, I declare that Col. B. was neutral in my feelings; that it was through no attachment to him that I made that suggestion, but to avert a great national calamity which I saw approaching, to arrest a tempest which seemed lowering in the west, and to divert into a channel of usefulness those consummate talents, which were to “mount the whirlwind and direct the storm.” About the time of my having waited on the President, or a little before, I determined at all events to have some evidence of the uprightness of my intentions, and to fortify myself by the advice of more experienced men. I waited upon two members of the H. of Representatives, whose friendship I had the honor long to retain, and in whose wisdom and integrity I had full faith—I am at liberty to give their names if required—and I believe a Senator, but of that I am not certain. I opened to them the projects of Col. B. They did not seem much alarmed.
(Mr. Martin objected to the witness stating any of the observations of other persons to himself. After some defulatory conversation, the bench supported the objection. Mr. Eaton. I did ask indulgence of the court to make such explanations, because perversions of my conduct were before the public; but I waive this indulgence; contented with meeting these perversions at some other time and place. C. Justice . You have used that indulgence.)
Little more passed between Col. Burr and myself, relevant to this enquiry, whilst I remained at Washington, though he was solicitous to engage me in his western plans. I returned to Massachusetts; and thought no more of Col. B. or his projects, until in October last, a letter was put into my hands, from M. Belinap, to T. E. Danielson, stating that boars were building on the Ohio. Mr. Burr. Have you that letter? Mr. E. No. Mr. B. It is improper then to state it. Mr. Hay. It is immaterial. Mr. Belinap is here. Mr. E. As to letters, I have no correspondence with Col. B. I was about to state that I made a communication to the President of the U. S. through the hands of the Post Master General stating the views of Col. Burr.
Highly Important Intelligence. Received by an arrival at Boston on Tuesday last from Liverpool. PARIS, JULY 6, 1807. Grand Army Bulletins. No. 80, dated, Tilsit, June 19, 1807. DURING the time that the French army signalized themselves on the field of battle in Friedland, the Grand Duke of Berg arrived before Konigsberg, and attacked in flank the corps of the army commanded by Gen. Leflocq. On the 13th, the division of Milhaud's dragoons made a fine charge, defeated the Prussian cavalry, at Creutzberg, and took several pieces of cannon. On the 14th the enemy was compelled to shut himself up in Konigsberg: about noon two of the enemy's columns, which had been cut off appeared before that place, with a view of entering it; six pieces of cannon, and from three to four thousand men who composed this troop were taken, all the suburbs of Konigsberg were rased, and a considerable number of prisoners were made. The result of all these affairs is, between four and five thousand prisoners, and 15 pieces of cannon. On the 15th and 16th Marshal Soult's corps was occupied before the entrenchments of Konigsberg, but the advance of the main body of the army towards Wehlau, obliges the enemy to evacuate Konigsberg, and this place falls into our hands. On the 17th the Emperor transferred his head quarters to the farm of Druker near Vilien Sherin. On the 18th he advanced them to Sgairgirren; and on the 19th he entered Tilsit. The Grand Duke of Berg, at the head of the greater part of the Light Cavalry, some divisions of Dragoons and Cuirassiers, has followed the enemy these three last days, and did him much injury. The 5th regiment of Hussars distinguished itself, Cossacks were repeatedly routed, and suffered considerably in these different charges. We had a few killed and wounded, among the latter is the Chief d'Escadre Piction, Aid-de-Camp to the Grand Duke of Berg. A singular circumstance, which excited the laughter of the soldiers, occurred for the first time, near Tilsit, where a cloud of Cossacks was seen fighting with arrows. We are sorry for those who give the preference to the ancient arms to those of the moderns; but nothing is more laughable than the effects of those arms against our muskets. Marshal Davoust, at the head of the 3d corps, defied by Labian, fell upon the enemy's rear-guard, and made 2,500 prisoner. Marshal Ney arrived on the 17th at Insterburgh, and there took 1000 wounded, and the enemies magazines, which were considerable. The woods and the villages are full of straggling Russians, sick or wounded. The loss of the Russian Army is enormous, it has not with it more than sixty pieces of cannon. The rapidity of our marches prevents us from being able as yet to ascertain how many pieces we have taken, but it is supposed that the number exceeds a hundred and twenty. Near Tilsit the annexed Notes numbered I. and II. were transmitted to the Grand Duke of Berg, and
afterwards the Russian Prince Lieut. General Labanoff passed the Niemen, and had a conference for an hour with the Prince of Neufchatel.
The enemy burnt, in great haste, the bridge of Tilsit, over the Niemen, and appeared to be continuing his retreat into Russia. We are on the confines of the empire. The Niemen opposite Tilsit is somewhat broader than the Seine. From the left bank we see a cloud of Cossacks, who form the rear-guard of the enemy on the right bank. Hostilities have already ceased.
What remained to the King of Prussia is conquered. That unfortunate Prince has only in his power the country situate between the Niemen and Memel. The greatest part of his army or rather of the division of his troops is deserting, being unwilling to go into Russia. The Emperor of Russia remained three weeks at Tilsit with the King of Prussia. On receiving advice of the Battle of Friedland, they both left that place with utmost haste.
No. I.
The General in Chief BENNIGSEN to His Excellency the Prince BAGRATION.
After the torrents of blood which have already flowed in battles as sanguinary as frequently repeated I could wish to assuage the evils of this destructive war, by proposing an armistice before we enter into a conflict, into a new war, perhaps still more terrible than the former. I request you, Prince, to make known to the Chiefs of the French army this intention on my part, of which the consequences may have the effects the more salutary, as a general Congress has already been proposed, and may prevent a useless effusion of human blood. You will afterwards transmit to me the result of your proceeding; and believe me to be, with the most distinguished consideration, your Excellency's most humble and most obedient Servant, (Signed) B. BENNIGSEN.
No. II.
GENERAL—The General Commander in Chief has addressed to me a letter relative to the orders which his Excellency has received from his Majesty the Emperor, directing me to communicate to you its contents. I think I cannot better comply with his intentions than by transmitting to you the original. I request you at the same time to send me your answer, and accept the assurance of the high consideration with which I am, General, your most obedient and humble serv't, June 18. BAGRATION.
No. 80, dated,
Tilsit, June 21, 1807.
At the affair of Heilsburg, the Grand Duke of Berg passed along the line of the 3d division of cuirassiers, at the moment when the 6th regiment had just made a charge. Col. d'Avary, commander of the regiment, his sabre dyed in blood, said, “Prince, review my regiment, and you will find that there is not a soldier whose sword is not like mine.”
Col. Borde Soult was wounded; Guikenene, Aid-de-Camp to Marshal Lannes, was wounded.
[Here follow the names of some Officers who signalized themselves.]
The sons of the Senators Perignon, Clement de Ris, and Garran Coulen, died with honor in the field of battle.
Marshal Ney proceeding to Gannibinnen, secured some of the enemy's parks of artillery, many wounded Russians, and took a great number prisoners.
No. 82, dated,
Tilsit, June 22, 1807.
An Armistice has been concluded upon the proposition of the Russian General.—The following is the armistice:—
ARMISTICE
BETWEEN FRANCE AND RUSSIA. As his Majesty the Emperor of the French, and his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, are anxious to put an end to the war which is long divided

The two nations, they have in the mean time resolved to conclude an Armistice. Their Majesties have named and empowered the following Plenipotentiaries, viz. on one part the Prince of Neufchatel, Marshal of the Empire, Major-General in the Grand Army; and on the other part Lieutenant-General Prince Labanoff Von Rostrow, Knight of the Order of St. Anne, Grand Cross; who have agreed upon the following Preliminaries:—
Art. 1. An Armistice shall take place between the French and Russian armies, in order that, in the mean time, a peace may be negotiated concluded and signed, to put an end to that bloodshed which is so contrary to humanity.
Art. 2. If either of the two contracting parties shall incline to break this armistice, which God forbid! the party so inclining shall be bound to signify this at the head-quarters of the other army, and hostilities shall not again commence until one month after the above notification.
Art. 3. The French and Prussian armies shall conclude a separate armistice, and officers shall be appointed for that purpose. During the four or five days requisite for the conclusion of this armistice, the French army shall undertake no hostilities against the Prussians.
Art. 4. The limits of the French and Russian armies, during the armistice, shall be from the Curisch Haff, the Thalsweg of the Niemen, and up the left bank of the river to the mouth of the Arama at Stekkin, and pursuing the course of that river to the mouth of the Bobra, following this rivulet through Rozano, Lipsk, Habin, Dolitawo, Gomadz, and Wyna, up to the mouth of the Bobra in the Narew, and from thence ascending the left bank of the Narew by Tylowczyn, Sunatz, Narew, to the frontiers of Prussia and Russia. On the Curisch Achrung the limits shall be at Nidden.
Art. 5. His Majesty the Emperor of the French, and His Majesty the Emperor of Russia, shall name Plenipotentiaries within the shortest time possible, who are to be provided with the necessary powers for negotiating, concluding, and signing a definitive Peace between these two great and powerful nations.
Art. 6. Commissaries shall be named on both sides, in order to proceed immediately to the exchange of prisoners, which exchange shall take place by rank for rank, and man for man.
Art. 7. The exchange of the ratifications of the present armistice, shall take place within 48 hours, or sooner if possible, at the head-quarters of the Russian army.—Done at Tilsit, this 21st of June, 1807.
(Signed) The Prince of Neufchatel Marshal ALEX. BERTHIER. Prince LABANOFF VON ROSTROW. Approved at Tilsit, 22d June, 1807. (Signed) NAPOLEON. (Under-signed) By the EMPEROR. The Minister and Sec'y of State, H. B. MARET.
"I hereby ratify the whole contents of the armistice concluded between the Marshal Prince of Neufchatel, and Lieut. Gen. Prince Labanoff Von Rostrow.
"ALEXANDER. Teurogen, 11—23 June, 1807. "In testimony of his approbation." (Under-signed) The Maj. Gen. Marshal ALEX. BERTHIER. Prince of Neufchatel.
The French army occupies all the Thalsweg of the Niemen, so that there only remains to the King of Prussia, the town and territories of Memel.
PROCLAMATION, Of the Emperor and King to the Grand Army.
Soldiers, on the 5th June we were attacked in our Cantonnments by the Russian army. The enemy mistook the causes of our inactivity.—He found too late that our repulse was that of the Lion—he regrets having disturbed it.
In the affairs of Guttstadt, Heilsberg, and the ever memorable one of Friedland, in a 10 days campaign in short, we took 120 pieces of cannon, 7 standards, killed, wounded, or took 60,000 Russians, carried off all the enemy's magazines and Hospitals—Konigsberg, the 800 vessels that were there laden with all sorts of ammunition, 180,000 fusils sent by England to arm our enemies.
From the Banks of the Vistula we have reached the borders of the Niemen with the rapidity of the eagle. You celebrated at Austerlitz the anniversary of the Coronation—you celebrated this year in an appropriate manner, the battle of Marengo, which put a period to the second coalition.
Frenchmen, you have been worthy of yourselves and of me. You will return to France covered with laurels, and after having obtained a glorious peace, which carries with it the guarantee of its duration. It is time that our country should live at rest, secure from the malignant influence of England. My benefits shall prove to you my gratitude, and the full extent of the love I bear you.
At the Imperial Camp at Tilsit, June 22.
No. 83, dated Tilsit, June 23 1807. Annexed is the capitulation of Neiss.
The garrison, 6000 strong in infantry and 300 in cavalry, defiled on the 16th before Prince Jerome. We found in the place 300 000 pounds of powder, and 300 pieces of cannon.
LONDON, JULY 17 1807. Preliminaries of Peace have not only been signed between Russia and France, but according to the following letter from Rotterdam, dated at eleven o'clock at night, on the 11th, between Prussia and France. They were signed on the 29th of last month at Tilsit;—
ROTTERDAM, JULY 11.—night. "We have but time to inform you, that an express from the French head quarters brought the intelligence, that on the 29th of June, the Preliminaries of Peace were signed between France, Russia and Prussia. The particulars are not yet known."
As soon as the Preliminaries were signed, the intelligence was announced to the army, and celebrated by discharges of cannon and by illuminations. Bonaparte published a Proclamation to his army, in which we understand he declared, that now the peace of the Continent was ensured, he would lead them back to Paris to receive the rewards which they had so well merited. Of the conditions of the Treaties of Peace we are not yet accurately informed, but the following are said to be amongst the principal ones.—
"That Poland shall be possessed as before by Prussia and Russia;—That all the Prussian territories are to be restored, except Silesia and Westphalia;—That the fortress of Magdebourg shall be garrisoned by the French, until peace between Great-Britain and France shall take place; and that all the Ports and places on this side of the Elbe shall henceforth be under the dominion and control of France. It is conjectured that Bremen, Embden, and the whole of East Friedland, are to be united to Holland; and that Silesia is to be erected into a separate principality."
The above conditions, as our readers will see, apply almost wholly to Prussia.—Indeed it is not to be supposed that any cession of territory upon the Continent would be demanded from Russia. There are, however, we have no doubt, some stipulations with respect to the Seven Islands, and to Turkey.—France would stipulate that the war between Turkey and Russia shall cease, and the status ante bellum be established between the two Powers.—We are anxious to ascertain whether the Negotiation any mention was made of this country.
OF DENMARK.
A Mail from Tonningen arrived this morning.—It has not brought later intelligence from Tilsit than we received yesterday.—but it has enabled us to contradict the account of Denmark having that the Sound. On the 2d about 50 ships belonging to the expedition without the least molestation. A part of the expedition went through the Great Belt.—But though no attempt has yet been made to shut the Sound, Ministers have reason to believe that Bonaparte will immediately after he has made peace with Russia and Prussia endeavor to make Denmark depart from her system of neutrality, and therefore they have resolved to send a strong fleet into the Baltic without loss of time.—Denmark may then reply to any demand to depart from her neutrality, that such a measure would be of no avail, Great Britain having so powerful a fleet in the Baltic.
The fleet which is to be sent to the Baltic will consist of 22 sail of the line, besides frigates, sloops and brigs, amounting in all to about 40 sail. An order (as we stated yesterday) was sent to Portsmouth on Wednesday, for the frigates and brigs to sail from thence, and take flat-bottomed boats.—These frigates and brigs are to go with the fleet, which is to sail immediately.—The following, we believe, are the
Officers that will command the Fleet.—Admiral Gambier, Commander in Chief—under him, Sir Samuel Hood, Admiral Eslington, Sir Home Popham, and Commodore Keute.
PEACE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND FRANCE.
STATESMAN OFFICE, } July 13, 2 o'clock. } We have this moment received Paris papers to the 8th inst. and Hamburg and Altona papers to the same date. The latter brings the important news of the Preliminaries of Peace being actually signed between Russia and France. The cordiality and seeming friendship in which the two Emperors are represented as living together in the same town, make us apprehensive the interests of this country have not been much consulted in this Treaty.
"STETTEN JULY 2.—(at night)—THE PRELIMINARIES OF PEACE BETWEEN FRANCE AND RUSSIA ARE SIGNED.
"The two Emperors have had an interview, and reside in the same town, with their respective guards.
"This important news was received here this morning, and was brought by one of Marshal Brune's Aids-de-Camp. The letter does not mention the town where the interview took place, but there is every reason to believe it was at Tilsit.—( Abeille du Nord , July 7.")
"TILSIT, JUNE 25.—The conference of the two Emperors of Russia and France, took place yesterday, at one o'clock in the afternoon, on a raft in the Niemen, on which General Lerebousiere, commander of the artillery of the guards, had caused one pavillon to be erected for their Imperial Majesties, and Another for their attendants. His majesty the Emperor Napoleon, attended by the Grand Duke of Berg, Prince of Neufchatel, Marshal Bessieres, Grand Marshal of the Palace, Duroc, and Caulaincourt, Master of the House, proceeded to the Banks of the Niemen, and went on board the vessel which was to take him to the raft. At the same time the Emperor Alexander, with the Grand Duke Constantine, General Bennigsen, General Owareff, and his First Adjutant-General Count Lieben, put off from the opposite banks.
The two vessels reached the raft at the same time; the two Emperors embraced each other on leaving the vessels, and entered the pavillon prepared for them. This conference lasted about two hours; and when it closed the attendants of the two Emperors were admitted. The Emperor Alexander paid many handsome compliments to the French Officers who attended Napoleon, and the latter conversed for a long time with the Grand Duke Constantine and with General Bennigsen. Both Emperors returned afterwards to their vessels.
"TILSIT, JUNE 26.—Last night, immediately after the conference was over, Prince Labanoff arrived at the French head quarters. A convention was concluded, that one half of the town of Tilsit is to be considered as neutral. His majesty, the Emperor Alexander, his retinue and guards are to take up quarters in the neutral part of the town.
"The Emperor of Russia intends, we understand, to dine this day with the French Emperor; and it is supposed, that the King of Prussia, will be of the party.
It is stated, in a letter from Delpt, of July 11, that the Preliminaries of Peace was signed, 29th June, between Bonaparte and Alexander, the two Emperors had a meeting, and mutually embraced each other, rejoicing over this event.
Affairs in Egypt.
We have official accounts from Egypt, which are by no means so gloomy as those previously received. The loss at Rosetta, instead of 1400, was only 750; and the troops at Alexandria, were in no danger of wanting provisions, having a constant supply of the best kinds.
Affairs in Turkey.
VIENNA, JUNE 21.—Our Court has received a Courier from Constantinople, with dispatches, announcing a revolution to have taken place in that capital—but nothing as yet has been published in the Gazette.—The following are the contents of two private letters:—
The Emperor Selim is no more—the disorders occasioned among the people by the scarcity of provisions, and among the Janissaries by the European exercise and discipline, furnished the enemies of the Government with an occasion to excite an insurrection which cost the unhappy Sultan his throne and life. On the 24th May, the Muti, at the head of the malcontents, reappeared with three hundred Janissaries to the Seraglio, and read to him a list of his pretended offences, recited passages from the Koran, which declared him, on account of those offences, unworthy of the Throne, and ordered him to sign a renunciation of it. Selim, seeing no means of resistance, signed the deed of renunciation, and begged his life. The Muti promised to intercede for him. His person was then secured, and fourteen of his principal ministers were put to death.—Couriers were sent to the Camp and the Dardanelles to arrest and strangle the Grand Vizer and the Captain Pacha. On the 25th May a proclamation was published in Constantinople, to announce to the people that the Sultan had been deposed, and to make known his offences, and the passages of the Koran which condemned the offences. The people were invited to remain tranquil and mind their affairs. On the 26th, Mustapha, the son of Achmet, was proclaimed Grand Seignior. On the 27th he sent an order to Selim to take poison. Selim obeyed and died in a short time. During the whole of this revolution, bloody disorders were committed. The mass of the people took no part at all;—so that we attribute this catastrophe to some chiefs of parties yet unknown to the Janissaries. All foreigners have been ordered to be respected. We are assured that the Grand Vizer made no resistance to the order sent him, and was strangled. Of the Captain Pacha we know nothing.
The Island of Sicily, is invested by the French, and will inevitably be added to her other conquests in that quarter.
The following letter has been sent from the Emperor Bonaparte to the Archbishops and Bishops, in Paris, &c. Letter from the Emperor and King to the Archbishops and Bishops.
"MONSIEUR, "The splendid victory obtained by our arms at Friedland, which has confounded the enemies of our people and put the important city of Konigsburgh in our power with the large magazines which it contained ought to be a new motive with our subjects for thanking to the God of Armies. This memorable victory has signalled the anniversary of the battle of Marengo; that day when still covered with the dust of the field of battle, our first thought, our first concern was for the reestablishment of peace, and order in the Church of France. Our will is, that on the receipt of the present you shall take the proper means of assembling our subjects of your respective dioceses in your Cathedral and Parish Churches, there to sing a Te Deum , and offer up such other prayers to Heaven as you shall think convenient to order in such circumstances. This letter having no other object, M. L. Eveque, I pray God to have you in his safe and holy keeping.
"Written in our Imperial Camp at Friedland, June 15, 1807
Signed, "NAPOLEON." He also sent other letters to the French bishops, ordering te deum to be sung.

LEXINGTON, AUG. 15.
WAR —The citizens of this state have generally assembled at the different court houses and expressed a unanimous sentiment of disapprobation of the conduct of the British towards us. It is said that the President, in a private conversation, at Monticello, has given his opinion that WAR is unavoidable.
BOSTON, SEPT. 2.
The ship Othello, Glover, of Boston, from Liverpool, for Baltimore, was boarded while at anchor, in the Patuxent, from a pilot built schooner, by 40 or 50 armed Frenchmen, (who previously fired nearly a hundred muskets at the ship) and was captured. Capt. Glover, and Mr. Harden, a passenger, were put on board the sch and confined in the cabin; the rest were confined in the ship's forecastle; The ship was then got under weigh by the Frenchmen, who said she was British property, a good prize, and that they should take her to Guadalupe. Fortunately the wind was soon after ahead; and finding they could not get her to sea, they abandoned her, returned capt. Glover and Mr. Harden to the ship, and contented with robbing the ship of all her porter and cheese, Capt. Glover of some wearing apparel, and Mr. Harden of his watch. The news of this capture reached Baltimore, and four companies volunteered their services, and went in a swift sailing schooner to rescue her from the pirates. But she was released before they reached her. Information of this piracy had been sent to Norfolk; and the gun boats had sailed from thence in quest of the schooner.
Indian Hostilities —Judge Porter, who resides near Niagara river, has written, that intelligence had been received, that the Indians had been committing depredations in the neighborhood of Detroit, had massacred several persons, and that the people were hastening to the fort for protection.
Bur's Trial —The debate on a law question continued to the 25th ult. On the 22d, Blannerhasset was brought into Court. His Counsel stated, that there was a misnomer in the indictment, but they did not intend to take advantage of it. His arraignment was postponed for a few days. Maj. J. Smith, also indicted, has been committed to prison at Richmond.
The Secretary of war has ordered 5000 muskets to Charleston; but not to be used by the militia, except when ordered out by the President.
Mr. Marshall, a federal republican, has been elected a Representative in Kentucky. This is inserted in a democratic paper in that State, with three notes of admiration!!!
The Floridas —A Philadelphia paper informs us that this territory is ceded to the U. S. and that FOUR MILLIONS of Dollars is the price of the purchase.
From the Philadelphia Gazette.
MR. RALF,
The manner in which duels are noticed in our public papers, probably tends to keep up that disgraceful test of ferocious and vulgar manners in our country. Instead of the usual mode of describing them, the following is hereby recommended to all the printers in the United States.
On the —, two Ruffians who were under no restraints from the laws of God or man, met at — with a design to shoot each other. One of them
(happily for Society) was killed the first fire, the other was wounded, but we are sorry to add, not mortally. They both behaved, in this outrage upon civilization and religion, with the most rascally coolness and imprepidity. A CHRISTIAN.
Portland,
Monday, September 7, 1807.
PEACE On the Continent of Europe.
The arrival of the ship Sally, at Boston, on Sunday last, furnishes London dates to July 17th. These fully confirm the accounts of the French success on the 14th of June over the Russians and Prussians, and also give an account of the subsequent capture of Konigsburg; the retreat of the Russians over the Niemen and through Lithuania to the frontiers of Russia.
On the 22d of June an Armistice between France and Russia was agreed to and shortly after one between France and Prussia was agreed to also. On the 29th the preliminaries of peace were signed betwixt Russia, France & Prussia.
No mention is made of Great Britain's having been consulted or of having taken any part in the negotiation.—England, if the war continues betwixt her and France will have to stand the contest alone. This she is able to do if the powers on the Continent are not compelled to act against her by obstructing her commerce. The definitive articles of peace between Russia and France will settle this question and the future independence of Russia.
Nothing is mentioned of the situation of affairs between Sweden and France; about the time of the battle of Friedland, the former gave notice that the armistice with the latter was at an end. The British expeditions have proceeded to Pomerania.
Bonaparte has threatened the Court of Denmark with hostilities if she permits a British fleet to pass the sound.
The French are reviving the idea of invading England, camps are forming and marine preparations are making along the French coast opposite England.
Mr. Purviace, the bearer of the rejected treaty landed in England from the U. S. sloop of war, Wasp July 15th, and would reach London probably the 17th. It is supposed that the news of the affair between the Leopard & Chesapeake would be received before Mr. Jefferson's objections to the treaty could be discussed by the Ministers of the respective governments.
It will be the first enquiry, how will the peace on the continent effect the interest of this country? If it has any, it is more than probable it will be against us. Bonaparte relieved from the war on the continent will turn his whole attention against England, the only assailable point is to endeavor to put a stop to the trade of other nations with her; this will be done by putting in immediate force the blockade decree.
There is no foundation in the reports of the re-capture of Monte Video, by the Spaniards. Capt. Andrews who left there June 24, informs that the English were in undisturbed possession of the place; that reinforcements had arrived from England.
After preparing the above remarks, we received the following
Later and Highly Important News from Europe.
The Sally-Anne , capt. Glover arrived at Boston on Friday Evening last, brings Liverpool dates to the first of August; by which we learn that the Sylvia cutter, from Halifax, arrived at Portsmouth July 25, with dispatches from Ad. Berkeley, respecting the rencounter between the Leopard and Chesapeake . The contents were communicated by Mr. Canning, to our Minister, Mr. Munroe, and friendly notes passed between them. It is stated that the Wasp sailed for this country about the 28th of July, with provisional arrangements agreed on between Mr. Munroe and the British government, to prevent a rupture.
American newspaper and letter accounts of the affair of the Chesapeake

were published in England; and the reported feelings of the American public made strong impression on the English nation. Manufacturers, Merchants and the Americans were much alarmed. American credit was stopped;—war was calculated on as inevitable and privateers were preparing to seize on all American vessels. But the declarations of Ministers in Parliament had changed the public opinion. Mr. Canning had assured the committees of merchants, that in all probability the situation of things betwixt the two countries would not alter. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the House of Commons, said the British Government would not fail to make any atonement or reparation which would appear to be due on the occasion. Mr. Perceval had also stated in Parliament, that captain Humphries had not acted by orders from his government. It was reported that a successor to Ad. Berkeley will immediately set out for the American station, and take with him a formidable augmentation to the naval force now on that station. The terms of the treaty of Peace were not officially known in England; but it was understood that Russia would lose nothing, and no cessions are demanded of Austria. Prussia retains Silesia; but cedes all her territories this side of the Elbe; Poland remains in her present state, except her capital, Warsaw; which, with a district of 50 or 60 miles round, is to be erected into a Duchy. Jerome Bonaparte is to be Grand Duke. Westphalia and Hanover is to be erected into a kingdom, and Jerome Bonaparte is to be King, as well as Duke of Poland. It is stated that the French will not leave Germany till peace is concluded with England; tho' we see nothing like such an event's being near. The French lost between 30 & 40,000 men in the battle of Friedland. A fleet sailed from England for the Baltic, having on board 20,000 troops. The English forces now in the Baltic amounts to 12,000 men. The King of Sweden has applied to Bonaparte to enter into negotiation of peace; but Bonaparte replied, he must have Stralsund as a guarantee. The treaty of peace between France and Prussia was signed July 9th. The Emperor Alexander has returned to Petersburg.
2th. Valedictory Oration. by C. S. DAVIES. Mr. Abbot, Senior Professor in the College, delivered an excellent address to the Graduates in the course of which he took occasion to point out to them, as they were about to enter on the more active and busy scenes of life, the line of conduct that would in all probability lead them to honorable fame and distinction in society, but assuredly procure them the approbation of the wise and good which was far better than the applause of the multitude when not obtained by an approving conscience. The address happily combined the principles of religion, virtue and moral conduct. The degree of Bachelor of Arts was conferred on Charles Stuart Davies, Robert Means, Seth Storer. The following gentlemen were admitted ad eundem: Henry Putnam, A. M. at Harvard University. Isaac Gardner Reed, A. M. at Harvard University. Nathan Weston, A. M. at Dartmouth College. The honorary degree of Master of Arts was conferred on John Merrick, Esq. of Hallowell. A prayer by the Rev. Elijah Kellogg, closed the public exercises. The procession then repaired to Washington Hall, and partook of a Dinner given by the Corporation. A large and respectable audience was gratified by the exhibition of talents from the Graduates in the performance of their several assignments. A grateful tribute of respect was paid to the memory of the late President McKean in the various performances of the day. In the evening there was a highly pleasing and entertaining Subscription Ball attended by a brilliant assemblage of ladies, where the hours passed merrily away in the enjoyment of the sprightly dance and social glee.
At the late meeting of the Trustees and Overseers of Bowdoin College, the important question of electing a Character to fill the office of President, vacant by the death of the Rev. Joseph McKean, came before the board. We understand that the Rev. Mr. Appleton, of Hampton, (N. H.) has been chosen by the Trustees and approved by the Overseers. From the high reputation the Rev. Mr. Appleton possesses as a Divine, a Scholar and a Gentleman, his acceptance of the appointment is an object much wished for, as an acquisition that will be highly honorable to the institution and beneficial to the public.
From the American Citizen. Mr. Editor, I arrived this afternoon at 4 o'clock, in the steam boat, from Albany. As the success of my experiment gives me great hope that such boats may be rendered of much importance to my country, to prevent erroneous opinions, and give some satisfaction to the friends of useful improvements, you will have the goodness to publish the following statement of facts: I left New-York on Monday, at 1 o'clock, and arrived at Albany, the seat of Chancellor Livingston, at 1 o'clock on Tuesday, time 24 hours, distance 110 miles; on Wednesday I departed from the Chancellor's at 9 in the morning, and arrived at Albany at 5 in the afternoon, distance 40 miles, time 3 hours; the sum of this is 150 miles in 32 hours, equal to near 5 miles an hour. On Thursday, at 9 o'clock in the morning, I left Albany, and arrived at the Chancellor's at 6 in the evening; I started from thence at 7, and arrived at New-York on Friday in the afternoon; time 30 hours, space run through 150 miles, equal to 5 miles an hour. Throughout the whole way my going and returning, the wind was a head; no advantage could be drawn from my sails; the whole has, therefore, been performed by the power of the steam engine. I am, Sir, Your most obedient, ROBERT FULTON.
Extract of a letter from Liverpool to a merchant in this town, dated Aug. 1. The news that has just reached us of the unhappy encounter that has happened on your coast, has caused a suspension of all shipments to America; and those interested in the trade are evidently at a loss what to do. We trust no rash measures will be adopted by your government to prevent an amicable adjustment. Ours appears to be entirely pacific; but people are fearful of making engagements, until some information is had of the temper of your Executive. Extract of a letter from a Captain in the owners in this town, dated LIVERPOOL, Aug. 1. On account of the embargo which was laid on all ships in England, I have been detained here for 10 days. The embargo is now off, and on the 5th I shall begin to take my goods on board. I shall sail on the 5th if the wind is fair. The account of the skirmish between the Leopard and Chesapeake put a stop to all business in Liverpool, which they were afraid would involve the two countries in a war. But as the Treaty is adjusted and sent home, they are in hopes the affair will be settled. I have been in Liverpool 20 days; longer than I expected owing to the embargo and Tides. Cotton from 14 to 16. Timber 2s 6d to 2s 8d. Ashes 65s to 70s. Provisions very low.
COMMENCEMENT AT BRUNSWICK. ON Wednesday last was celebrated the second Commencement at Bowdoin College. At 11 o'clock the procession was formed at College Chapel, from whence it moved in the following order: Professors and Tutors of the College, Trustees and Overseers, Reverend Clergy, Public Characters and those of a liberal education, preceded by the members of the institution and a band of music to the Meeting House, where after the performance of music, a solemn, pertinent and elegant address to the Throne of Grace was made by the Rev. Alden Bradford, the exercises commenced. 1st. Salutatory Oration in Latin, by Seth Storer. 2d. English Oration on the progress and influence of Literature, by Robert Means. 3d. Tradition; a Poem, by Charles S. Davies. 4th. Forensic; whether the Light of Nature without the aid of Revelation be sufficient evidence of the immortality of the soul. by R. Means & S. Storer.
inspired he saw with composure the ravages of a lingering disease, and bore its last distresses with a patience and serenity, which would have done honor to the profession of an aged saint. Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. In New-London, the 29th ult. capt. Elihu Hinman, aged 74. This venerable gentleman was one of the ablest marine officers who shone in the struggle for our independence. On many trying occasions he evinced great skill and bravery, and was entrusted by a discerning government with the command of many national vessels; the most important of which was the frigate Alfred. His talents as a warrior were adorned by the christian virtues; to alleviate the horrors of war, with him, was equally a duty and a pleasure, and his vanquished enemy often became his warmest friend. "Having suffered almost a total loss of his property in the conflagration of N. London by the British troops, the close of the war found his means inadequate to the necessities of a growing family, and he was compelled, in the wane of life, to relinquish a constitution, shattered by the privations, anxieties and labors of war, to seek in an inhospitable climate, the means of lightening the cares of his declining years. "Having returned home in moderate circumstances, the command of the Revenue Cutter was offered him by President Washington, but it was not then convenient for him to accept it; on the death of capt. Maltbie, in 1798, this sinecure, which had now become desirable to him, and to which by his talents and services he was justly entitled, was given him by President Adams—The duties of which humble station he performed with scrupulous attention and fidelity. He continued in the office until the year 1802, when, without any cause being alleged, and without any being known, except he had been uniformly the friend of the administrations of Washington and Adams, he was removed in favor of the present commander, a man of different political principles. "The enterprizing warrior, who had often braved his country's foes at the cannon's mouth, who when captured in the Alfred fought several battles a very superior force, the real patriot, the man of high and honorable feelings, whose heart had never been appalled by danger, surrendered at a single broadside of ingratitudine. To this period he uniformly supported a character remarkably distinguished by the practice, of the christian and the moral virtues. From the time of his being turned out of office by an unjust and ungrateful government, the weight of years grew doubly heavy; the vital blow was struck; the remainder of his life was merely a lingering death. He died highly respected by a very numerous acquaintance." Suicide—Found dead on the Derby-wharf, Salem, on Sunday morning last, Mr. Henry Anderson, aged 27—supposed to have poisoned himself by taking Laudanum.
