or affirmation in form following, to wit,
I A. B. do solemnly swear before Almighty God, (or affirm as the case may be) that I have not any estate, real nor personal, in possession, reversion, nor remainder to the amount of twenty dollars, excepting the Goods and Chattels exempted from attachment and execution by "an Act entitled an act to exempt certain Goods and Chattels of debtors from attachment and execution," and that I have not since the commencement of this suit against me, nor at any other time, directly or indirectly sold, leased nor otherwise conveyed, nor disposed of to nor entrusted any person or persons whomsoever with all nor any part of the estate real nor personal, whereof I have been the lawful owner or possessor with any intent or design to secure the same, or to receive or to expect any profit or advantage therefor, nor have caused nor suffered to be done, any thing else whatsoever, whereby any of my creditors may be defrauded; So help me GOD—(or this I do under the pains and penalties of perjury) as the case may be.

And be it further enacted, That said debtor may, at the expiration of fifteen days from the time of his commitment, apply to have said oath administered to him, in the same manner as is provided by the second section of an Act passed September 15th, 1792, entitled "an Act for the ease and relief of persons imprisoned for debt."
And be it further enacted, That in all cases, when any debtor or debtors shall make application as aforesaid, to be admitted to the benefit of the oath in this Act prescribed, and the application shall not prevail, either in consequence of the applicants withdrawing his application without a division of the Justices applied to, or upon a division of said Justices, it shall be the duty of said Justices, if they think it reasonable to tax cost for the creditor or petitioner for the travel and attendance of himself, his witnesses, and for his depositions in the same way and manner, as cost is taxed for parties to suits in the Superior Court of Judicature, and render judgment in favor of said Creditor for the same, and issue execution in due form of law accordingly.

EIGHTIETH BULLETIN OF THE FRENCH GRAND ARMY.
TILSIT, June 19. —During the time that the French Army signified themselves on the field of battle at Friedland, the Grand Duke of Berg arrived before Konigsburg, and took in flank the Corps of the Army commanded by General Lestocq.
"On the 13th, Marshal Soult found at Creutzburg the Prussian Rear guard. The division of Milhaud's Dragoons made a fine charge, defeated the Prussian Cavalry, and took several pieces of cannon.
"On the 14th the enemy was compelled to shut himself up in Konigsburg. About noon too 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 Konigsburg were razed. A considerable number of prisoners were made.
"The result of all these affairs is between four and five thousand prisoners, and fifteen pieces of cannon.
"On the 15th and 16th Marshal Soult's Corps was occupied before the entrenchments of Konigsburg; but the advance of the main body of the Army towards Weblau, obliged the enemy to evacuate Konigsburg, and this place fell into our hands.
"The stores found at Konigsburg are immense. Two hundred large vessels from Russia are still all loaded in the port. There was much more wine and brandy than we had any reason to expect.
"A brigade of the division of St. Hilaire, advanced before Pillau, to form the Siege of that place; and Gen. Rapp has sent off, for Dantzic, a column, ordered to go by the Nehnung, to raise before Pillau, a battery which may shut the Haff. Vessels, manned by marines of the guard, render us masters of this small sea.
"On the 17th the Emperor transferred his head-quarters to the farm of Druckers, near Klein Schoren. On the 13th he advanced them to Szaifgirron; and on the 19th, at two in the afternoon, 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 the three last days, and did him much injury. The 5th regiment of Hussars distinguished itself. The Cossacks were repeatedly routed, and suffered considerably in their different charges. We had a few killed and wounded; among the latter is the Chef d'Escadron Pictou, Aid-de-Camp to the Grand Duke of Berg.
"After the passage of the Pregel, opposite to Wehlau, a drummer was charged by a Cossack at full gallop; the Cossack took his lance to pierce the drummer, but the latter preserved his presence of mind, snatched his lance from him, disarmed the Cossack and pursued him.
"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 were sorry for those who give the preference to the ancient arms to those of the moderns; but nothing is more laughable than the effect of these arms against our muskets. Marshal Davoust, at the head of the 3d corps, defeated by Labia, fell upon the enemy's rear guard, and made 2500 prisoners.
"Marshal Ney arrived on the 17th at Insterburgh, and there took 1000 wounded, and the enemy's magazines, which were considerable. The woods, 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 60 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 120.
"Near Tilsit the annexed Notes, numbered I. and II. were transmitted to the Grand Duke of Berg, and afterwards the Russian Prince, Lt. Gen. Labanoff, passed the Niemen, and had a conference, for an hour, with the Prince of Neufchatel.
"The enemy burned, 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 that 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 of 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 greater part of his army, or rather of the division of his troops, are deserting, being unwilling to go to 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 the place in the utmost haste."
(No. 1.) The General in Chief Benningsen to His Excellency the Prince Bagration.
"After the torrents of blood which have lately 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 effects the more salutary, as a General Congress had 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. BENNINGSEN."
(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 humble, and most obedient servant, (Signed) "BAGRATION."
EIGHTY-FIRST BULLETIN.
TILSIT, June 21. —At the affair of Heilsberg, 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'Avery, 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; Guibene, aid-de-camp to Marshal Lafnes, was wounded.
[Here follow the names of some officers who signalized themselves.]
The sons of the Senators Perignon, Clement de Ris, and Garrau Coulon, died with honor in the field of battle. Marshal Ney proceeding to Cambinen, secured some of the enemy's parks of artillery, many wounded Russians, and took a great number prisoners.
EIGHTY-SECOND BULLETIN.
TILSIT, June 22. —An armistice has been concluded, upon the proposition of the Russian General. The following is the armistice:—
ARMISTICE
BETWEEN FRANCE & 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 has so 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 Churitsch Haff, the Thalsweg of the Niemen, and up the left bank of that river to the mouth of the Arama at Stakhin, and pursuing the course of that river to the mouth of the Bebra, following this rivulet through Rozano, Lipke, Habin, Dolitawo, Gomadz, and Wyna, up to the mouth of the Babra in the Narew, and from thence ascending the left bank of the Narew by Tylowczyn, Suasz, 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.

ALEX. BERTHIER. Prince LABANOFF VON ROSTROW. Approved of, Tilsit, 22d June 1807. (Signed) NAPOLEON. (Underwritten) By the EMPEROR. The minister & 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. Teurogen, 11-23 June, 1807. ALEXANDER.
"In testimony of his approbation." (Underwritten) The Major 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 cantonments by the Russian army. The enemy mistook the causes of our inactivity. He found too late that our repose 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—Konigsburg, the 300 vessels that were there laden with all sorts of ammunition, 150,000 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 Auferlitz 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.
EIGHTY-THIRD BULLETIN.
TILSIT, June 23. —Annexed is the capitulation of Neisse. 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.
EIGHTY-FOURTH BULLETIN.
TILSIT, June 24. —The marshal of the Palace, Duroc, went on the 24th to the head-quarters of the Russian army, on the other side of the Niemen, to exchange the ratifications of the armistice, which had been ratified by the Emperor Alexander.
It is already seen, by the Armistice, that the left wing of the French Army supports itself on the Curisch Haff, at the mouth of the Niemen, from whence our line extends itself towards Grodno; the right, commanded by Marshal Massena, reaches to the confines of Russia, between the sources of the Narew and the Bug. The head-quarters are about to be removed to Konigsberg, where every day new discoveries are made of provisions, ammunition, and other effects, belonging to the enemy.
A position so formidable is the result of successes the most brilliant: and while the enemy's army flies routed and almost destroyed, more than half the French army has not fired a musket.
Entrant of a letter from a Russian Officer to his mother at Bielsk.
"TILSIT, June 19.—From Heilsburg we went to Friedland, skirmishes all the way continually.—There the French annihilated us. This affair is disgraceful to us. In the morning we were victorious. One single fault was the cause of the misfortunes that happened to us in the evening, and also of our total defeat—that of not having sufficiently fortified our left wing. All those who could not get over the bridge were obliged to throw themselves into the Alle. I was taken prisoner. Our left wing was to drive the enemy out of the woods. We kept up a brisk fire all day, without being able to effect it, till a regiment of chasleurs ran up to the enemy with frightful howls, and drove them from the woods; but this regiment at length found itself within reach of a masked battery, which overwhelmed it with bullets and safe shot.
[The Russian Officer then relates the manner in which he was taken prisoner, and by what means he escaped, in passing the river before a piquet of Cossacks.]
"There I found the army in full route, retiring in disorder to the frontiers of Russia. God knows what will be the result of all this. We all wish for peace, and we hope we shall not long be without it."
BRESLAU, June 27. —The fortress of Glatz surrendered, by capitulation, on the 25th instant. On the 23d, in the morning, his Highness Prince Jerome resolved upon attacking the entrenched camp of the Prussians before Glatz, which attack the Bavarians and the troops of Wirtemberg commenced about a quarter of an hour before break of day, and succeeded to the utmost, as in the course of three quarters of an hour the ten redoubts, which defended the enemy's camp, were carried by the bayonet. When the Prussian cavalry first saw that of the French, they retired without attempting to cover their own infantry, which, notwithstanding a brave resistance, were cut in pieces. Twelve hundred men were left on the field of battle, killed and wounded; 600 were made prisoners, and 13 pieces of cannon taken; the rest were spiked. The Bavarians and Wirtemburghers have covered themselves with glory in these affairs, and what is commonly the case in these fortunate results, our loss was very small, not exceeding 40 killed & 172 wounded. At noon his Royal Highness Prince Jerome granted the garrison an Armistice of eight hours to bury the dead. At one o'clock Count Von Gotzen waited on his Highness at Wartha, and the capitulation was duly signed by both parties on the 25th.
Peace between Russia and France.
STATESMAN OFFICE, July 15—2 o'clock. We have this moment received Paris papers to the 8th inst. and Hamburg & 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.
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."
"TILSIT, JUNE 25.—The conference of the two Emperors of Russia & France, took place yesterday, at one o'clock in the afternoon, on a raft in the Niemen, on which General Larcheboissier, 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 Horse, 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, Gen. Bennigsen, Gen. Onwaroff, Prince Labanoff, 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 was 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 Gen. 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 one of the party."
LONDON, JULY 17.
A letter from the Banks of the Elbe, states, that after the Armistice was agreed upon between the Emperor Bonaparte and Alexander, the latter wrote a letter to the King of Sweden, inviting him to become a party to the armistice. A report was current that the English had been banished from Russia.
It is stated in a letter from Delvy, of July 11, that after the Preliminaries of Peace were signed, 29th June, between Bonaparte & Alexander, the two Emperors had a meeting, and mutually embraced each other, rejoicing over this event.
At the first meeting, which took place on the 25th, only the Emperor Alexander and Bonaparte were present. A second interview, at which the King of Prussia was present, took place on the following day, at half past twelve, in a pavillon constructed on a little island in the Niemen. A third interview took place on the 28th, which was followed by a dinner.—His Prussian Majesty was also present on this occasion.
A severe shock of an Earthquake was felt at Lisbon, St. Ubes, Oporto, and generally throughout Portugal, the 6th June.
Two French falls of the line, and four frigates escaped from Rochefort, 8th June. The French troops occupied Memel before the conclusion of the armistice.
Castel capitulated the 18th June.—Colberg has also surrendered.
Lord Cathcart and suit failed from Yarmouth 7th inst. for Stralsund.
The Jamaica fleet, of 170 sail, under convoy of La Pique, has arrived.
BY THE MAILS.
RICHMOND, AUG. 28.
BURR'S TRIAL.
On Saturday, the 22d inst. Herman Blannerhasset was brought into Court for the purpose of being arraigned, and fixing upon a time for his trial.
After the indictment had been read by the clerk in the usual form, preparatory to the arraignment, Mr. Botts observed, that there was a misnomer in the indictment: that his client, he believed, was not disposed to take any advantage of it, and that he himself was prepared to advise him to plead immediately not guilty; but as the other counsel of Mr. Blannerhasset were then absent, he wished the arraignment postponed till some day in the next week, in order that they might have a conference on the subject. There was other reason for postponing the arraignment, of infinitely more importance. It was well known that the decision of the Court upon the points now under discussion, if it should be as the counsel of Col. Burr contended, would materially effect the evidence to be adduced in the case of Mr. Blannerhasset—it would, indeed, greatly narrow the objects of inquiry. It was therefore important as it respected the economy of time, to wait the decision of those points. Should the prisoner now plead to the indictment, it might be necessary for him to summon an immense number of witnesses to rebut the evidence of those bro't forward on the part of the United States; but few of whom could perhaps be examined.
The chief Justice said, that one of the points made in the case of Col. Burr, did not occur in that of Mr. Blannerhasset. There could be no question but Mr. Blannerhasset was present when the overt act, whatever it may be, was committed, and that was also present, when Col. Tyler's boats were at the Island.
Mr. Hay declared he had no objection to the postponement if the gentlemen on the other side thought their conduct would be regulated by the decision of the Court on the points now under consideration; and that they might name their own time for the arraignment.
It was finally agreed that the arraignment of Mr. Blannerhasset should take place after the questions now before the Court should be decided.
MONDAY, AUG. 24.
Mr. M'Rea opened the argument on the part of the United States, and, in a speech of four hours length, answered the various positions taken by Mr. Wickham and Mr. Randolph, and commented on the authorities cited by them. He also adduced a number of authorities to shew, that the question which was now sought to be admitted to the Court, exclusively belonged to the consideration of the jury; and that the definition of treason as given by the Supreme Court of the United States, in the case of Bollman and Swartwout, was not only warranted by the Federal Constitution, but was in strict conformity with the decisions of the English Courts, on a statute of that country, from which the words of our constitution, as it relates to the crime of treason, are literally copied.
Mr. Wirt will continue the argument on the same side, and Mr. Hay will conclude it for the United States.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 25.
The Court met at 9 o'clock.—Mr. Wirt commenced the debate on the part of the United States, with a most eloquent and argumentative speech; which was concluded about half after 2 o'clock. He was followed by Mr. Botts on behalf of the prisoner.
On Wednesday, 26th Aug. Mr. Botts continued his argument, for 6 hours.—He was succeeded by Mr. Hay, who spoke 2 hours. On Thursday, Mr. Hay resumed and continued his argument for 3 hours. He was followed by Mr. Lee, who spoke 2 1-2 hours. On Friday, 28th Aug. (the last date from Richmond) Mr. Martin was to wind up the argument;—and on Saturday or Monday following, the Court it was supposed, would pronounce its opinion.
Be the fate of Burr what it may, he could not with a trial under more favorable circumstances. A Court, to say the least, not unfriendly to him—Counsel, learned in the law, eloquent at the bar, and engaged in the cause, viz. Messrs Randolph, Wickham, Martin, Botts, Lee and Baker—a Jury, selected by himself out of 85 men—if he is convicted, he must indeed be guilty.
The decision of the court that no man who had expressed or formed an opinion as to the guilt of Burr, was eligible as a juror, was calculated either to get no jury, or just such an one as Burr would wish. We cannot believe there is a man in the Union possessing common sense and common means of information, but what has formed an opinion one way or the other. Those who felt unfriendly to Burr would instantly confess this opinion, that they might avoid the responsibility of trying and perhaps condemning him; while his friends, to be the means of serving, and perhaps saving him, would be anxious to conceal their partiality that they might be put on the jury. Whether this consequence resulted from the proceeding, we know not—but certainly to this it led. There is law for almost every thing, and may be for this decision—but it surely squares not with justice. And why are jurors to be taken from the vicinity of the place where an offence is committed, if it be not that they may have all the information that can be collected on the spot? And can it be that after they have collected all the information they can, they are to be sequestered for letting it produce any impressions on their minds? impressions which they cannot prevent, and which might, if false, immediately be removed by the evidence adduced? [Tren. True Amer.]
Judges should be cautious not to lean too far—they may fall off the bench.

Portsmouth, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1807. HIGHLY IMPORTANT & VERY LATE NEWS FROM EUROPE.
From the Bolton Centinel, Sept. 5. After our paper went to press, last night, we were favoured by the hand of David Hinckley, Esq. with London papers up to the thirty-first of July, and a Liverpool paper of Aug. 1, 1807, brought by him, in the ship Sally-Ann, Capt. Glover, who arrived here last evening, in 32 days from Liverpool.
The Sylvania cutter, from Halifax, arrived at Portsmouth, 25th July, with dispatches from Ad. Berkeley, respecting the affair of the Chesapeake, and which reached London, the 26th, (or 27th) — Their contents were communicated by Mr. Canning, to Mr. Munroe; and some friendly notes, it is said, passed between them. There was a general embargo from the 23d to the 31st July, to procure seamen; but the Wasp was released, it is said, at the particular instance of Mr. Munroe, and failed the 29th, as the papers report, for this country, with provisional arrangements which had been agreed upon between Mr. Munroe and the British government, with a view of preventing a rupture between the two countries: We however, learn, verbally, that some thought she was bound to the Mediterranean. — American newspaper and letter accounts had been published: The sensation which the news of the attack on the Chesapeake and the reported feelings of the American public, made on the English nation, was great. — The Manufacturers and Merchants, and the Americans, were much alarmed — American credits were stopped; War was supposed by some inevitable; and even privates were preparing. — But Mr. Canning had assured the committee, that it would not alter the situation of things between the two countries; and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the House of Commons, said the British government would not fail to make any atonement or reparation, which should appear due on the occasion. — The English papers generally condemned Berkeley; and it is said he is to be recalled.
The following extracts contain "the marrow" of the news by this arrival: —
EXTRACTS. LONDON, JULY 29. — The Terms of the Treaty of Peace have not yet transpired officially, but it should seem as if no intention were entertained of wresting Silesia from the King of Prussia. — All the fortresses in Silesia are, it is said, to be delivered up to the King on the 1st of October. — It is added, there is to be a meeting of Plenipotentiaries at Berlin on the 25th of July, to complete the arrangements rendered necessary by the Peace. — Other accounts say, the Congress of Plenipotentiaries is to be held at Dresden. — The French troops are to evacuate Tilsit, on the 20th July, Konigsburg on the 25th, Eastern Prussia by the 1st of August, and all the country to the Vistula by the 20th; to the Oder by the 5th of September; and the territories on this side the Oder by the 1st of October. — The Duchy of Magdeburg, however, and the right bank of the Elbe, is not to be evacuated before the 1st of November. Bonaparte left Konigsburg on the 13th for Dresden, from Dresden, he proceeds direct to Paris.
DRESDEN, JULY 15. — Prince Jerome is expected here this day from Silesia, and the celebrated Royal Palace in this place is fitting up for his reception. His Royal Majesty leaves this Capital to-morrow, to meet the Emperor Napoleon at Budessiu. Besides the French Emperor, the Emperor of Russia, the King of Bavaria, and other Princes, are also expected here. — According to other accounts the Emperor of Russia is gone to Petersburg. Our town will be very brilliant.
[PRIVATE LETTER.] The following are said to be the fundamental stipulations of the Peace concluded between Russia and France: — 1 The boundaries of the Duchy of Warsaw shall be determined, as well as 2 That of the territory of the Free Hanse Towns of Dantzig; the latter are to be marked two miles round the Town by the French, Dantzig, Saxonian, & Prussian arms. 3 The boundaries of the Kingdom of Westphalia shall also be defined. 4 Tilsit shall be evacuated by the French troops on the 20th July, and 5 Konigsburg the 25th July. 6 Before the 1st August, East Prussia, as far as the Passarge. 7 Before the 20th, as far as the Vistula. 8 Before the 5th September, as far as the Oder; and 9 All other Royal Prussian Dominions, as far as the Oder, as well as Silesia, by the 1st October. 10 The Province of Magdeburg on the right of the Elbe, Pafewalk, and Prenzlau, shall not be evacuated until the 1st November. 11 With regard to Stettin, the time of its evacuation shall be determined by the Plenipotentiaries; until the evacuation it shall be occupied by 6000 French troops. 12 Spandau, Custrin, and all the fortresses in Silesia shall be surrendered to the Prussians on the 1st of October.
All other points yet to be arranged shall be settled by the Plenipotentiaries to be appointed by both Contracting Parties, who are to meet at Berlin, on the 25th of July. The revenue of the Prussian dominion is to be for account of his Prussian Majesty from the 13th of July, on condition that the contribution demanded be paid to the French.
NUREMBERG, JULY 16. — There is talk of a confederation of the North, to be established under the protection of Russia; of indemnification of several German Princes in the North; of the extension of the Confederation of the Rhine to the Elbe, &c. — It is said also that the Kingdom of Poland will be re-established, and given to a French Prince; and that Russia will engage to renounce for ever all authority over Moldavia, Wallachia, and several other neighboring Turkish Provinces.
MAGDEBURG, JULY 16. — A courier who has passed through this city with the utmost speed, carries orders to Paris to prepare every thing for the reception of his Majesty the Emperor, who expects to arrive there on the 1st of August. His Imperial Majesty has left Tilsit, and is going to Dresden, where he is expected.
MILITARY, JULY 17. — The French are before the gates of Stralsund: Marshal Brune's head quarters are here. The King of Sweden has proposed an armistice, in order to negotiate a peace; but received for answer, that this proposal cannot be acceded to, unless a guarantee be given, and that guarantee must be Stralsund.
LONDON ARTICLES.
JULY 26. — Bonaparte is stated to have arrived at Konigsburg on the 11th, from whence he was to proceed to Berlin, and thence by way of Dresden, and Mentz to Paris. The Emperor Alexander and the King of Prussia remained at Tilsit, but it is added, that both Monarchs had promised to visit Napoleon at Paris.
Austria, it is said, has been called upon to cede the two Gallicias; and it is reported that the Grand Duke Constantine is to be established in Poland.
Peace was signed at Tilsit on the 8th inst. between the Emperor of the French, and the Emperor of Russia.
The treaty of Peace between France and Prussia was signed on the 9th July, and ratified the following day.
JULY 27. — About noon yesterday the fleet assembled in Yarmouth Roads, and supposed to be intended for the Baltic, got under weigh.
The troops which are already embarked or under orders, amount to at least 20,000 men. The force already in the Baltic amounts to ten or twelve thousand.
JULY 30. — An American Schooner with dispatches from the United States, relative to the Chesapeake, is said to have arrived at Portsmouth yesterday.
JULY 31. — Considerable sensation was excited yesterday by a report that the Emperor Alexander had accepted the Order of the French Legion of Honour.
The Grand Duke Constantine, Prince Kurakin, and General Bennigsen, have also been presented with the insignia of Bonaparte's Order.
The embargo which was laid on for eight days for the purpose of obtaining seamen; was taken off this morning in the port of London. We should suppose, from this, that the Expedition had failed.
Lord Cathcart passed the Sound on the 14th, and proceeded direct to Stralsund.
Some of the German Papers say, that the Emperor of Russia is gone to Petersburg. The King of Sweden, is said to have applied for an armistice, and to have expressed a desire to enter into negotiations for peace; but Bonaparte replied that he must have a guarantee, and that that guarantee must be the placing Stralsund in his hands. — The French are under the walls of Stralsund.
There are reports of a Confederation in the North, and of the extension of the Rhenish Confederacy to the Elbe.
An engagement has taken place between the Russian and Turkish squadrons off the island of Tenedos; and we suspect to the disadvantage of the latter.
It is reported, that a successor to Admiral Berkeley, will immediately set out to the American station. He, however, is to take with him a formidable augmentation to our naval force on that station.
House of Commons, July 27.
Mr. Whitbread wished to ask the Right Honourable the Chancellor of the Exchequer a question touching the melancholy account this day received in town, respecting the capture of the American frigate Chesapeake, which excited much general and regretful sensation in the metropolis — whether any accounts had been received by his Majesty's government relative to that transaction? Whether it was with the privy or authority of our government at home, and if it was intended to lay before the House any communication upon that subject.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer answered, with "respect to the question, relative to what he too considered a melancholy event, the capture of the American frigate Chesapeake, by a British cruiser, he could only say as one of his Majesty's Ministers, that he was not informed of any of the particulars of that transaction, farther than by common rumour. His Majesty's government, however, would leave no means unexercised to learn the particulars of this lamentable event, and to whom the circumstance was justly imputed; nor should they hesitate to make any atonement and reparation in their power that on a fair inquiry should appear to be due on the occasion."
LIVERPOOL, AUGUST 1. — The intelligence received this week from the coast of America, has excited a great degree of agitation in all parts of the nation, and especially in the commercial towns. It is certain that no accident could be more perverse or ill-timed. At all events it may tend to bring to a speedy decision the existing dispute on which the two nations are now at issue. The "right of search" is supposed to be the great stumbling block which caused the rejection of the treaty by Mr. Jefferson, and it is a point on which the two nations are supposed to be equally pertinacious.
Some hopes are now entertained that this affair will not inevitably lead to hostility. — If Captain Humphrey's proceeded on the positive instructions of our Government, we should despair of seeing the dispute amicably accommodated; but it is clear from the expressions of Mr. Perceval in the House of Commons, that this was not the case.
REVOLUTION IN TURKEY.
The particulars of the revolution in Constantinople are published. The Sultan died by poison — the Grand Vizier was strangled. Mustafa, son of Achmet, ascended the throne.
FROM MONTE-VIDEO.
By the ship Alexander, arrived at Boston, from Monte-Video, files of the 'Southern Star,' to June 20, have been received. A victory had been obtained by the English, under Col. Pack, commanding the troops at Colonia, over the Spanish army, consisting of upwards of 2000 men, under the command of Col. Elio, and strongly posted at St. Pedro.
The official dispatch from Gen. Whitelock, dated June 10, states that "the enemy had his front and flanks strongly secured by a deep and marshy river, and defended by six pieces of cannon. The difficulties of the position were however, overcome by the bravery of the British troops, consisting only of 950 men; and they completely succeeded in routing the enemy, with the loss of 120 killed, and a great many wounded, leaving in our possession a standard, 6 pieces of ordnance, near 300 stand of arms, with a quantity of ammunition and ordnance stores, and 150 prisoners. — The 2d in command (Lt. Col. Juan Baptista Raymond), one Major, two Captains, and two Lieutenants, are among the prisoners. The British in this affair had only 2 men killed, and 23 wounded. But we are sorry to add, that Major Gardner, and assisting Surgeon Turner, were slightly wounded by the explosion of our ammunition cart, after the action was over."
The Floridas. — The U.S. Gazette mentions, the price of the Floridas to be four millions of dollars. We know not whether this is correct or not; if it is, we certainly have much cause to be satisfied; the purchase we have good reason to believe has actually been made. [Aurora.]
The following is an extract of a letter from Richmond, dated August 27: —
"Burr's trial is going on very slowly. — An attempt was made a few nights ago to poison a Mr. Duncan, a material witness in the case. The attempt was made by his own servant, who is now in jail. He has confessed that he was to receive 700 dollars and his freedom; but says he does not know the persons who made him the offer. The laudanum was put into porter. As Mr. Duncan intended to drink the porter just before he went to bed, his servant carried it up to his room. He discovered the poison the instant he put the porter to his mouth."
In some of the interior New-York papers, a numerous body of Indians are said to be encamped near Detroit; that they had massacred a number of families; the cause of the outrage was not mentioned.
Captain Pike, who has been some time detained in the interior provinces of Spanish America, arrived at Natchitoches, on the 30th of June. [Nat. Int.]
Nine United States gun-boats arrived at N. York on Wednesday last from Portland.
It is said appearances in England are pacific. This may be; but are these appearances to be relied on? — May they not be assumed, for the purpose of deceiving? Does not the Cabinet of Britain often speak Peace, when it means none, that it may strike the first blow with the more effect? Does it not imitate the Tiger, that crouches before it leaps on its prey? May not these appearances change, when the transactions in the Chesapeake, and the consequent expressions and acts of resentment among our citizens, reach the ears of that Cabinet?
It is our wisdom, at any rate, to be ready for the worst that may or can happen; and prepared to return any stroke that may be struck with vigor and full effect. [Trenton Amer.]
COUNTERFEITERS.
A fine haul! — We learn with sincere pleasure that on the 22d July last, five persons, of the names of Nobles, Blos, Kimball, Niles and Roberts, were committed to goal in Woodstock, (Vermont,) for making counterfeit money. The particulars of their arrest &c. are very interesting. — the account of which is obtained from a gentleman who was at Woodstock at the same time the above mentioned persons arrived there. It appears that some persons in Rutland, from certain circumstances, became suspicious of Kimball, who resided in Plymouth, formerly Saltas; and having collected twenty six gentlemen, and put themselves under the command or direction of Gen. Isaac Clark, they then proceeded to Kimball's house, where they immediately secured him. They then went in pursuit of the gang, having received some instructions from Kimball and his wife, who supplied them with provisions. After a tedious search of some hours, they were discovered on a mountain, about two miles from any house, in a kind of cave: the access to which was so extremely difficult that they could not approach it without going some distance on their hands and knees; — Happily they reached the cave, which was inaccessible on two sides, without being discovered. After some menacing language from the gang, which did not in any manner intimidate the assailants, Niles sprang to the door with some of the most valuable apparatus, threw it down the precipice among rocks and stones and immediately followed after. The deputy sheriff, who was present, made no delay, but jumped down the same steep, and fell directly upon Niles; the distance was about fifteen feet. The whole party now surrendered. All hands were at work — Nobles engraving, the others striking bills, and filling up the blanks. The rolling press was taken together with a ten dollar plate of the New-York State Bank — a four dollar plate of the Columbia Hudson Bank, with bills of both, some finished, others partly finished — a five dollar plate of the Vermont State Bank, almost completed — a large quantity of paper, some wet in order for printing — their records, memorandums, letters, tools, &c. The engraving is very handsomely executed, and the bills so well done as to deceive tolerable good judges. It is supposed that every thing is taken excepting two plates, bills of both of which are now in circulation; however we trust these will also be found, as several gentlemen have gone to search for them. Nobles is the fellow who has engraved so much for the noted Stephen Burroughs.
On the 23d July, Philander Nobles, Abiah Boyce, Levi Roberts and John Niles, had their trial before the Supreme Court, at Woodstock. — By a person from the vicinity of that town we are informed, that the two first were sentenced to receive fifty lashes, to stand in the pillory a short time, to be imprisoned five years, to pay a fine of seven hundred dollars, and the cost of prosecution. — The other two received the same sentence, excepting the number of lashes, which was thirty nine each. The corporal punishment was inflicted the next day.

Extract of a letter, dated Baltimore, August 26, "Accounts have been received, that the ship Othello, captain Glover, from Liverpool to this port, consigned to Messrs. Wilson and sons, was taken while at anchor in the Patuxent, by a small Schooner under French colors — her nation, however, not ascertained, has gone down the bay to re-take the ship. "Report also states, that orders have been given by the Secretary of the navy, to intercept the ship at Norfolk, — and as the wind is from the Southward, hopes are entertained that she will be recovered." [Register.]
The case of the Othello, abovenominated, has excited an increased degree of attention at Baltimore. The federal paper of that city states, that the Schooner which plundered the Othello, received aid and countenance from the French ship Patriot lying in the Patuxent. We have seen nothing on this subject, as yet, that has any better foundation than conjecture; but, if it shall be found that the French ship had any such agency as is mentioned, we hope our government will immediately order it to leave our waters. The ship of any nation, that could thus return ingratitude and injury for our hospitality, is unworthy to receive it any longer. We hope, however, that no enquiry, the imputation will be removed. It certainly cannot be the wish or the interest of France, at such a time as the present, to commit any act, calculated to impair the good understanding that exists. As soon as the French minister heard the report circulated at Baltimore, that the Patriot had aided the picaroon, which attacked the Othello, he dispatched a messenger with a letter to captain Krohm, demanding an explanation, and requiring that, if any such aid had been given, the guilty should be immediately surrendered to the government of the U. States, to be punished according to the laws of this country. We are happy to mention this circumstance, as well as a proof of the good intentions of France, as a contrast to the conduct of the British. We shall not be much surprised to learn, that this affair originated with the British, to answer their own obvious purposes. [Aurora.]
The crew of the piratical Schooner, concerned in the affair of the Othello, have been all taken and secured. [Boston Gaz.]

TO CHEERFULNESS.
OFFSPRING of health! I'll won thee still, Though fatal cares my bosom chill, Though toil my twining nerves should wear Though sick delirious rankle there, Thy voice shall drive away despair. I'll woo thee at the early morn, When rising from my couch forlorn, And hail, at sultry hour of noon, Thy presence as a richer boon, Than indolence can e'er bestow, Or base dependence ever know. At evening's mild and lov'd return, Joy and content from thee I'll learn, And in the much lov'd social hour, Oft meet in smiles thy magic pow'r. Why should we ever sigh and whine, And at the ills of life repine; Will dull complaint their pow'r destroy? Will laments ever bring us joy? Come, then, thy genial pow'r impart, Daughter of health, and cheer my heart; If with thee I'll ne'er recoil From daily cares and daily toil. At midnight dark, in blaze of noon, At morning's dawn, with evening's moon, My lov'd companion deign to be, Till thought and life are lost with thee. ANSELMO.
Soon after the surrender of Burgoyne, a gentleman being asked for a toast, gave extempore the following:—
'Here is a health to the states, 'And the brave General Gates, 'Whose conduct in history will shine; 'Who, in the year seventy-seven, 'By the assistance of heaven, 'Defeated the important Burgoyne.'
THE following is a literal translation of the petition sent by the wife of Almas Ali Cawn , who was lately seized and put to death, for political purposes in India.
To the high and mighty servant of the most powerful prince, George, King of England, the lowly and humble slave of misery comes praying for mercy to the father of her children:— Most Mighty Sir,
May the blessings of thy God ever wait on thee; may the sun of glory shine around thy head; and may the gates of piety, honor and happiness be always open unto thee and thine.—May no sorrow distress thy days; may no grief distress thy nights; may the pillow of peace kiss thy cheek, and the pleasure of imagination attend thy dreams, and when length of years makes thee tired of earthly joys, and the curtain of death closes round the last sleep of human existence, may the angels of thy God attend thy bed, and care taken that the expiring lamp of life shall not receive one rude blast to hasten its extinction.
O! harken then to the voice of distress, and grant the petition of thy servant. Spare, O! spare the father of my children—save the partner of my bed—my husband—my all that is dear. Consider, O mighty Sir, that we did not become rich by our iniquity, and that what we possessed was the inheritance of a long line of flourishing ancestors, who, in those smiling days when the thunder of Great Britain was not heard on the fertile plains of Indostan, reaped their harvest in quiet, and enjoyed their patrimony unmolested. Think, O, think, that the God whom thou worshippest, delights not in the blood of the innocent. Remember thy own commandment, "Thou shalt not kill," and obey the orders of Heaven.
Give me back my Almas Ali Cawn and take all our wealth. Strip us of our jewels and precious stones, of our gold and silver, but take not away the life of my husband. Innocence is seated on his brow, and the milk of human kindness flows around his heart.—Let us go wander through the deserts—let us become the tillers and labourers of those delightful spots of which he once was lord & master; but spare, O mighty Sir, spare his life. Let not the instrument of death be lifted up against him—for he has committed no crime. Accept our treasures with gratitude—thou hast them at present by force. We will remember you in our prayers, and forget that we were ever rich and powerful. My children, the children of Almas Ali , send up their petition for the life of him who gave them life. They beseech from thee, the author of their existence.
By that humanity which we have oft been told glows in the breast of European loveliness! by the tender mercies of the enlightened souls of Englishmen! by the honor, the virtue, the honesty, and the maternal feelings of the great Queen, whose numerous offspring is so near to her, the miserable wife of thy prisoner beseeches thee to save her husband's life and restore him to her arms!
Thy God will reward thee, thy country must thank thee, and she now petitioning will ever pray for thee, if thou grantest the prayer of thy humble vassal.
Almassa Ali Cawn. This petition was presented by the unhappy woman to the great tyrant, who, after he had perused it, ordered Almas Ali Cawn to be immediately strangled; and those orders were instantly executed.
A man disputing with another, said, in great heat, that he did not like to be thought a scoundrel. I will, replied his opponent, that you had as great a dislike to being a scoundrel.
A Paris paper lays—The Americans and English educate their children, in the fear of God and the love of money.
As a number of children are at the present season afflicted with the Cholera infantum , a correspondent would recommend the decoction of the blue flowers of Delphinium; or Larkspur, one small spoonful of which will infallibly stop the most distressing vomiting.
These flowers likewise have proved a specific in every of the many cases in which they have been applied (by expressing the juice) to that painful, dangerous, and troublesome disease, the Chin, or Hooping-Cough. ( Philadelphia paper. )
Some of our spindle-shank bucks have been in the habit, for years past, of being inoculated for the cow-pox , in hopes, by that means, to get calves to their legs.
