Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That all and every person so building, fitting out, equipping, loading, or otherwise preparing or sending away any ship or vessel, knowing or intending that the same shall be employed in such trade or business, from and after the first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and eight, contrary to the true intent and meaning of this act, or any ways aiding or abetting therein, shall severally forfeit and pay 20,000 dollars, one moiety thereof to the use of the United States, and the other moiety to the use of any person or persons who shall sue for and prosecute the same to effect. Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That if any citizen or citizens of the United States, or any person resident within the jurisdiction of the same, shall, from and after the first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and eight, take on board, receive, or transport from any of the coasts or kingdoms of Africa, or from any other foreign kingdom, place, or country, any negro, mulatto, or person of color, in any ship or vessel, for the purpose of selling them in any port or place within the jurisdiction of the United States as slaves, or to be held to service or labor, or shall be in any wise aiding or abetting therein, such citizen or citizens, or person shall severally forfeit and pay five thousand dollars—one moiety thereof to the use of any person or persons who shall sue for and prosecute the same to effect; and every such ship or vessel, in which such negro, mulatto, or person of color shall have been taken on board received or transported as aforesaid, her tackle, apparel and furniture, and the goods and effects which shall be found on board the same, shall be forfeited to the United States, and shall be liable to be seized, prosecuted and condemned in any of the circuit courts or district courts in the district where the said ship or vessel may be found or seized: and neither the importer, nor any person or persons claiming from or under him shall hold any right or title whatsoever to any such negro, mulatto or person of color, nor to the service or labor thereof, who may be imported or brought within the United States, or the territories thereof in violation of this law: but the same shall remain subject to any regulations not contravening the provisions of this act, which the legislature of the several states or territories at any time hereafter may make, for disposing of any such negro, mulatto, or person of color. Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That if any citizen or citizens of the United States, or any other person resident within the jurisdiction of the same, shall from and after the first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and eight, contrary to the true intent and meaning of this act, take on board any ship or vessel from any of the coasts or kingdoms of Africa, or from any other foreign kingdom, place or country, any negro, mulatto, or person of color, with intent to sell him, her or them, for a slave or slaves, or to be held to service or labor and shall transport the same to any port or place within the jurisdiction of the United States, and there sell such negro, mulatto, or person of color, so transported as aforesaid, for a slave or to be held to service or labor, every such offender shall be deemed guilty of a high misdemeanor, and being thereof convicted, before any court having competent jurisdiction, shall suffer imprisonment for not more than ten years and not less than five years, and be fined not exceeding ten thousand dollars, nor less than one thousand dollars. Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That if any person or persons whatsoever, shall, from and after the first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and eight, purchase or sell any negro, mulatto, or person of color, for a slave, or to be held to service or labor, who shall have been imported, or brought from any foreign kingdom, place or country, or from the dominions of any foreign state, immediately adjoining to the United States, into any port or place within the jurisdiction of the United States, after the last day of December, one thousand eight hundred and seven, knowing at the time of such purchase or sale, such negro, mulatto, or person of color, was so brought within the jurisdiction of the United States, as aforesaid, such purchaser and seller shall severally forfeit and pay for every negro, mulatto, or person of color, so purchased or sold as aforesaid, eight hundred dollars; one moiety thereof to the United States, and the other moiety to the use of any person or persons who shall sue for and prosecute the same to effect: Provided, That the aforesaid forfeiture shall not extend to the seller or purchaser of any negro, mulatto, or person of color, who may be sold or disposed of in virtue of any regulation which may hereafter be made by any of the legislatures of the several states in that respect in pursuance of this act, and the constitution of the United States. Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That if any ship or vessel shall be found, from and after the first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and eight, in any river, port, bay, or harbor, or on the high seas, within the jurisdictional limits of the United States, or hovering on the coast thereof, having on board any negro, mulatto, or person of color, for the purpose of selling them as slaves, or with intent to land the same, in any port or place within the jurisdiction of the United States, contrary to the prohibition of this act, every such ship or vessel, together with her tackle, apparel, and furniture, and the goods or effects which shall be found on board the same, shall be forfeited to the use of the United States, and may be seized, prosecuted, and condemned, in any court of the United States having jurisdiction thereof. And it shall be lawful for the president of the United States, and he is hereby authorized, should he deem it expedient, to cause any of the armed vessels of the United States to be manned and employed to cruise on any part of the coast of the United States, or territories thereof, where he may judge attempts will be made to violate the provisions of this act, and to instruct and direct the commanders of armed vessels of the United States to seize, take and bring into any port of the United States, all such ships or vessels, and more on board to seize, take and bring into any port of the United States, all ships or vessels of the United States, where soever found on the high seas, contravening the provisions of this act, to be proceeded against according to law, and the captain, master, or commander of every such ship or vessel, so found and seized as aforesaid, shall be deemed guilty of a high misdemeanor, and shall be liable to be prosecuted before any court of the United States, having jurisdiction thereof; and being thereof convicted, shall be fined not exceeding ten thousand dollars, and be imprisoned not less than two years, and not exceeding four years. And the proceeds of all ships and vessels, their tackle, apparel, and furniture, and the goods and effects on board of them, which shall be so seized, prosecuted and condemned, shall be divided equally between the United States and the officers and men who shall make such seizure, take, or bring the same into port for condemnation, whether such seizure be made by an armed vessel of the United States, or revenue cutters thereof, and the same shall be distributed in like manner, as is provided by law, for the distribution of prizes taken from an enemy: Provided, That the officers and men, to be entitled to one half of the proceeds aforesaid, shall, save keep every negro, mulatto or person of color, found on board of any ship or vessel, so by them seized, taken, or brought into port for condemnation, and shall deliver every such negro, mulatto, or person of color, to such person or persons as shall be appointed by the respective states, to receive the same; and if no such person or persons shall be appointed by the respective states, they shall deliver every such negro, mulatto, or person of color, to the overseers or the poor of the port or place where such ship or vessel may be brought or found, and shall immediately transmit to the governor or chief magistrate of the

state, an account of their proceedings, together with the number of such negroes, mulattoes, or persons of color, and a descriptive list of the same, that he may give directions respecting such negroes, mulattoes or persons of color.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted , That no captain, master, or commander of any ship or vessel, of less burthen than forty tons, shall, from and after the first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and eight, take on board and transport any negro, mulatto, or person of color, to any port or place whatsoever, for the purpose of selling or disposing of the same as a slave, or with intent that the same may be sold or disposed of to be held to service or labor, on penalty of forfeiting for every such negro, mulatto, or person of color, so taken on board, and transported as aforesaid, the sum of eight hundred dollars—one moiety thereof to the use of the United States, and the other moiety to any person or persons who shall sue for and prosecute the same to effect: Provided, however, that nothing in this section shall extend to prohibit the taking on board, or transporting on any river or inland bay of the sea, within the jurisdiction of the United States, any negro, mulatto, or person of color, (not imported contrary to the provisions of this act) in any vessel or species of craft whatever.
Sec. 9. And be it further enacted , That the captain, master or commander of any ship or vessel of the burthen of forty tons or more, from and after the first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and eight, failing coastwise, from any port in the United States, to any port or place within the jurisdiction of the same, having on board any negro, mulatto or person of color, for the purpose of transporting them to be sold or disposed of as slaves, or be held to service or labor, shall, previous to the departure of such ship or vessel, make out and subscribe duplicate manifests of every such negro, mulatto or person of color on board such ship or vessel, therein specifying the name and sex of each person, their age and stature as may be, and the class to which they respectively belong, whether negro, mulatto or person of color, with the name and place of residence of every owner or shipper of the same, and shall deliver such manifests to the collector of the port, if there be one, otherwise to the surveyor, before whom the captain, master or commander, together with the owner or shipper, shall severally swear or affirm, to the best of their knowledge and belief that the persons therein specified were not imported or brought into the United States, from and after the first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and eight, and that under the laws of the state they are held to service or labor; whereupon the said collector or surveyor shall certify the same on the said manifests, one of which he will return to the captain, master or commander, with a permit, specifying thereon the number, names and general description of such persons and authorizing him to proceed to the port of his destination. And if any ship or vessel, being laden and defined as aforesaid, shall depart from the port where she may then be, without the captain, master or commander having first made out and subscribed duplicate manifests of every negro, mulatto and person of color on board such ship or vessel as aforesaid, and without having previously delivered the same to the said collector or surveyor, and obtained a permit in manner as herein required: or shall previous to her arrival at the port of her destination, take on board any negro, mulatto or person of color, other than those specified in the manifests, as aforesaid; every such ship or vessel, together with her tackle, apparel and furniture, shall be forfeited to the use of the United States, and may be seized, prosecuted and condemned in any court of the United States having jurisdiction thereof; and the captain, master and commander of every such ship or vessel shall moreover forfeit, for every such negro, mulatto or person of color so transported or taken on board contrary to the provisions of this act, the sum of one thousand dollars—one moiety thereof to the United States, and the other moiety to the use of any person or persons who shall sue for and prosecute the same to effect.
Sec. 10. And be it further enacted , That the captain, master or commander of every ship or vessel of the burthen of forty tons or more, from and after the 1st day of January, one thousand eight hundred and eight, failing coastwise, and having on board any negro, mulatto or person of color, to sell and dispose of as slaves, or to be held to service or labor, and arriving in any port within the jurisdiction of the United States, from any other port within the same, shall, previous to the unlading or putting on shore any of the persons aforesaid, or suffering them to go on shore, deliver to the collector, if there be one, or if not, to the surveyor residing at the port of her arrival, the manifest certified by the collector or surveyor of the port from whence she sailed, as is herein before directed, to the truth of which, before such officer, he shall swear or affirm; and if the collector or surveyor shall be satisfied therewith, he shall thereupon grant a permit for unlading, or suffering such negro, mulatto or person of color to be put on shore; and if the captain, master or commander of any such ship or vessel, being laden as aforesaid, shall neglect or refuse to deliver the manifest at the time and in the manner herein directed, or shall land or put on shore any negro, mulatto or person of color, for the purpose aforesaid, before he shall have delivered his manifest as aforesaid, and obtained a permit for that purpose, every such captain, master or commander shall forfeit and pay ten thousand dollars—one moiety thereof to the United States—the other moiety to the use of any person or persons who shall sue for and prosecute the same to effect.

The President of the United States, and the several heads of departments are now at Washington; where Congress is to assemble on the 26th instant.
The court martial for the trial of Commodore Barron, met on board the Chesapeake the 3rd inst. Lieutenant W. Tazewell, Esq. is Judge Advocate. Commodore Barron is said to be very much indisposed, and Mr. Tazewell is at Richmond, a witness in the case of Col. Burr. The Court adjourned for two days, after appointing Richard R. Lee, Esq. Judge Advocate, pro tempore.
Foreign Intelligence.
OF TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 12. The Persian Ambassador has returned hither from the French head quarters; and the French Ambassador to the Court of Persia is expected here. The Ambassador from his Majesty the King of Holland to the Porte, Baron Von Dedem, is arrived here. A Minister Plenipotentiary for the Kingdom of Italy is speedily expected.
SEMLIN, AUG. 3. Letters from Jassy, written by christian merchants, affirm that the Duke of Richelieu, has received orders to join with his corps, the army which was acting against Persia, and to cross that kingdom for the purpose of going to attack the English possessions in India.—The Persian monarch, Feth-Ali-Sha, is about being invited by an embassy, to make a common cause with Russia against England.
RUSSIA. PETERSBURG, JULY 26. Since the return of his majesty the Emperor, an extraordinary activity is remarked in the offices of the marine departments.—The order is issued for arming with all possible dispatch the squadrons at Cronstadt & Revel. Not the least doubt is entertained by any, but that these armaments are designed against England, if she should adopt the fatal determination of rejecting the mediation offered her by our court. The English merchants settled here, entertain the same opinion respecting the present dispositions of Russia; for they are all endeavoring to sell their goods or commercial effects at any price.
VIENNA, AUGUST 3. According to a convention concluded with the French Imperial Court, the fortress of Brannau will be given up to the Austrian Imperial troops on the 26th of this month. Gradisca will likewise be immediately restored.
Prince Alexander Kurakin, who signed the treaty of peace between France and Russia, is expected here as Russian Envoy. Count Rastumowski, the late Envoy, will in future reside here as a private person.
The peace between France and Russia appears to have put an end to the dispute which has so long continued relative to Cattaro and Brannau. Though we have as yet heard nothing official with respect to the giving up of the former, it appears to be certain that it will take place, and it is understood that Brannau will be evacuated on the 26th instant, and restored to Austria, as will also Gradisca.—Royal Hague Courant, of August 24, 1807.
SIEGE OF COPENHAGEN AND SURRENDER OF STRALSUND.
LONDON, SEPT. 5. On the 2d inst. the King in Council ordered an Embargo on all Danish vessels, and issued letters of marque and reprisal to detain and bring into port all Danish ships and vessels.
The following are extracts from private letters received by the Swan:—
His Majesty's ship —, off Copenhagen, Aug. 21. "Our outworks are already within one mile and a quarter of this city. We required them to give up their fleet to us during the war, which they refused; therefore we shall most likely take the place by storm; if so, many thousand lives will be lost. All the country, with the standing corn, has been desolated. We took them so much by surprise, that the ladies had not even time to take away their clothes."
Sept. 3.—The Swan cutter, of 16 guns, arrived yesterday at Yarmouth, with dispatches from Admiral Gambier and Lord Cathcart, to Lords Mulgrave & Callercragh, and Mr. Canning. The Swan left the expedition on the 23d, at which time it was expected that Copenhagen would not be able to hold out longer than a week.
When the Swan came away, every thing on our part wore a favourable appearance. The army that landed at Wibeck, after a few skirmishes, had taken an advantageous position, within less than half a mile of the city of Copenhagen. The fleet under Admiral Gambier had advanced within the same distance, and the place was thus closely invested.—A general attack, by sea and land, was intended the moment the heavy mortars could be brought up to bear upon the place. About 1000 of the German Legion had taken Fredericksberg, a fortified place, close to Copenhagen, containing a garrison of 860 men, a foundry for cannon, &c. Our army had also intercepted forty-one wagons loaded with gun-powder and other military stores. The Danes, according to every appearance, were determined to make an obstinate resistance, and the next dispatches will probably bring us the result. Some private letters have been received from the fleet of the 23d, a day later than the official dispatches. They state, that the British troops were then encamped before the town, ready for an attack.
Before the Swan left the fleet, Admiral Gambier had received intelligence that the French were in possession of Stralsund.—The Officer arrived early this morning in town with his dispatches. They are very voluminous, and contain, we believe, the detail of all the operations of the expedition from the 20th to the 22d last, inclusive.
BULLETIN.
Head-quarters, Stralsund, Aug. 14. "All ports in Swedish Pomerania occupied by the French troops, are closely blockaded by Swedish ships of war."
"A French officer arrived on the 10th inst. in the morning, at our advanced posts near Tribse, and declared to the commanding officer of the chasseurs, that, if he continued to fire on their workmen, he (the French officer) should order 500 tirailleurs to shoot all our videttes, and all the artificers on duty in our batteries."
"The same day an officer was sent in the evening to the enemy's advanced post, to declare that, unless they withdrew their workmen, they should all be shot. The enemy demanded a quarter of an hour's notice for withdrawing their workmen, which was granted, and they were all withdrawn, which proves that our fire of the preceding day had done great execution. At half past three o'clock last night, a French officer arrived at our advanced post, in front of the entrenchment of Franklin, and declared, that unless the cannonade from the fortress was
immediately discontinued, the bombardment of the fortress should be commenced immediately. He received for answer, that the enemy were at liberty to regulate his fire by that of the fortress, and to bombard or not. "At half past nine o'clock the same night, General Pons's Aide-du-camp advanced towards our chain of Videttes, made the same declaration, and received the same answer."
"According to the unanimous statement of all the defectors, the enemy's army, which form the siege of Stralsund, and occupies Swedish Pomerania, consists, besides the French, Spanish, Italians and Dutch troops, of those of Althaffenburg, Bavaria, Saxony, Baden, Wirtemberg, Bergen and Nassau Uringen."
COPENHAGEN, AUG. 15. On the 12th inst. early in the morning, the King and Prince Royal left, with their retinue, this Capital, for Colding in Jutland, where they are safely arrived. The Presidents, and some Members of the Public Boards, followed the King, and crossed the Belt unmolested.
On the 13th it was known that Gen. Peyman was entrusted with the defence of the Capital, and the late English Envoy in Berlin, Mr. Jackson, with the Prince Royal in Keil, had merely come to this place, in order to lay for the last time before Count Bernstorff his proposal that we should join England and Sweden against Russia and France. At 7 o'clock at night it was known that Jackson had arrived, and the next morning we learned that he was gone on board the fleet—both parties refusing to make any concession; and an attack was therefore every moment expected.—As yet, however, every thing remains quiet, and from this delay on the part of the enemy we have taken advantage to increase our means of defence. This evening, or early to-morrow morning, all vessels intended for the defence of this capital will have taken their station. The Militia is arrived, the guns are mounted on the ramparts, the City Artillery and Infantry, the Corps of Students, and the Life Chasseurs are under arms, and it is generally supposed that Copenhagen will be able to defend itself with success.
The English fleet is still lying off Huen, without having hitherto attempted a landing, or fired a shot.
August 18.—Since the landing of the English upwards of 20 spies have already been apprehended, some dressed as peasants, and others in women's clothes. Yesterday the English commenced in the Road to bombard the Castle and Three Crown Battery.—Their bombs are of the same description as those of the 2d of April, 1801; that is most pitiful, most of them burnt in the air.
Our Fleet of Bomb-vessels was out this morning, and has done them considerable mischief: we are in high spirits, and entertain no doubt of their being defeated. They were allowed to land undisturbed, in order to surround and destroy them.—(Ham. Correspond. of Aug. 22.)
DENMARK, AUG. 20. The Prince Royal has given orders rather to burn the Fleet in case of extremity, than to suffer it to fall into the hands of the Enemy. When Mr. Jackson, it is said, gave him twelve hours to take his final resolution, he did not employ so many seconds in positively rejecting his propositions.
August 21.—The Prince Royal has ordered the fleet to be destroyed, in case of extremity.
The volunteers increase daily. The animosity against the English is universal and violent. There will be warm work; but on this occasion as in the siege in the 17th century, success will reward courage. Numbers of Danish troops are drawing towards Fuden; 700 English ships are now in our neighbourhood. To the 18th our loss was only 3 killed, & 12 wounded.
A letter from Ad. Gambier, dated off Copenhagen, Aug. 21, 1807, contains a copy of the proclamation of Gen. Peyman, Governor of Copenhagen, for confiscating all British property in that city. Also, an order of Ad. Gambier, declaring the Islands of Denmark, as well as the passage of the Great Belt, to be in a state of close blockade.
BY THE MAILS.
MARYLAND. GEORGETOWN, OCT. 9. Dispatches have been received by Government from our Ministers in London. We are informed, that it is the opinion of THE PRESIDENT that the state of affairs between the two countries does not present the most agreeable aspect.
THE INDIANS. It appears, from the report of the commissioners sent out by the Governor of Ohio, that the Indians near Greenville are not hostile. The Prophet is said to preach peace; being thus taught not by man, but by the Great Spirit. Blue Jacket in a talk addressed to the commissioner, stated as their chief complaint, that the government agent at Fort Wayne, (Mr. Wells) was disliked.
VIRGINIA. NORFOLK, SEPT. 24. Yesterday, a meeting took place between Dr. Stark and Capt. Gordon, of the Chesapeake, in consequence of a dispute on the subject of Commodore Barron's conduct—several shots were exchanged without effect. The affair terminated in the Doctor's receiving a wound through the arm, from Lieut. Crane the friend of Capt. Gordon.
FATAL DUEL. BEAUFORT, (S. C.) SEPT. 16. Departed this life, on Monday afternoon, Mr. Arthur Smith; and on Tuesday morning, Mr. Thomas Hutson—and yesterday, the remains of these young gentlemen, were deposited in the tomb. On Monday morning, they arose in all the vigor of youth and health; in a few hours both were bleeding on the field of honor. A challenge had been given and accepted—a duel was fought and both were mortally wounded. Such honor, are thy triumph? Come hither Duelist, and regale thy senses! See two young men the joy of their parents, levelling the tube at each other—they fire—they fall. See them groaning on a death bed; and now they breathe their last. Hear the distracting outcries of a fond and doting parent—the heart piercing lamentations of affectionate sisters, and the more silent, though equally deep grief of loving brothers—are these pleasing to thy eyes, or music to thy ears—Yet these, oh Duelist, are the fruits of honor, so called.
Oh thou idol, who delightest in human sacrifice; who snuffest up blood as sweet smelling incense; when will thy reign cease? Oh ye votaries of this Moloch, ye abettors of murder & bloodshed! I remember that that day will assuredly come, when you will know, whether you are to frame your actions by the laws of honor, or the laws of God.
An awful and melancholy instance of the omnipotent power of the Almighty God, in punishing with exemplary vengeance, the presumptuous wretch, who dares bid defiance to HIM, by whose permission he lives, moves, and has his existence, having just taken place here, a relation of the circumstance may not be uninteresting to a portion of our readers, and perhaps may afford such a lesson as will be the means of restraining many a wicked thought, and blasphemous expression, so often given way to, and so derogatory to the character of every human being; at least to all such as are within the power of example to reform:
A young man wished to join a company of volunteers, now enrolling themselves, for the purpose of offering their services to the President of the United States, and yesterday being Sunday, he was at a neighbors house, with some other young persons, a part of whom were remonstrating against his intention. He swore he would go and join in spite of all the friends he had, and said he did not believe it was in the power of God Almighty to prevent him! This dreadful expression had scarcely escaped his lips, when he fell a lifeless corpse at the feet of his advisers, and never breathed more! Before that period he enjoyed a perfect state of health. [Hoffon Virginia Intelligencer.]
NEW-YORK, OCT. 7. The ship United States, Capt. Moore, of and bound to Baltimore, from the Isle of France, owned by Wm. Wilson & Sons, was captured on Sunday last night off the Capes of Virginia, by the British ship of war Leopard, and sent to Halifax. Cargo coffee, tea, pepper & cotton. The mate and crew were put on board the brig Lion, Capt. Harris, and have arrived at Norfolk.
DANVILLE, (Vt.) OCT. 3. BURROUGHS TAKEN.
We learn that the noted Stephen Burroughs was taken last week in his barn, at Stanstead, Canada, and that he was conveyed from thence to Montreal. He had a room completely finished in his hay mow, 10 by 15 feet, where he kept all his apparatus, and pursued his lucrative business. In this recluse he was taken, after attempting in vain to discharge his pistol at the officer, which he snapped several times without effect. Sixteen hundred dollars in counterfeit bills were found with him, signed, and ready for traffic; and about as many more printed, which had not the legal signature affixed to them.
By a person directly from Stanstead, we are informed that after travelling a couple of days with his escort, Burroughs made his escape from them by jumping from a chamber in which was a guard of four men, and is now at liberty. [Walpole paper.]
BOSTON, OCT. 17. On Wednesday last, the United States frigate Constitution of 44 guns, Commodore Campbell; and the sloop of war Wasp, of 18 guns, Capt. Smith, arrived at Boston, in 35 days from Gibraltar. On passing the castle the Wasp fired a federal salute, which was returned. The Wasp carried out the British treaty in March last. We understand the Constitution was ordered home by government; and to make the most convenient port.
Accounts from Hispaniola state, that Christophe, with 10,000 men, was marching to attack Pétion.
The black President of Hayti (Christophe) has announced that his title is "My Lord;" and that England has recognized him as President of Hayti.
Portsmouth,
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1807.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
By an arrival at Boston on Tuesday last from Liverpool, London papers were received to the 7th September—extracts from which are given under our Foreign head.—Stralsund, had surrendered to the French by capitulation;—not however till the clamours of its inhabitants made it dangerous for the commander longer to continue obdurate. An article in one of the papers mentions, that after the fall of Stralsund, General Brune had reached Copenhagen, and had taken command of the Danish forces, and resolved to defend the City to the last extremity.
The British proclamation to the inhabitants of Zealand, is an insult to the honest Danes! They are to part with their ships, lose their trade, have their provisions of all sorts taken by requisition, if not brought to the British camp, and even their capital and castles occupied by British troops; and all in the most friendly manner! and by the most amicable arrangement!! Denmark is in the first place to be annihilated as a sovereign power, that she may be afterwards resuscitated by this very humane society, the kind hearted government of England! who do good by force, and blush not to find it infamy.
Woe be to the merchant who sends his property to sea without an adequate insurance. Let the fate of Denmark be the monitorial watchword.
An order has been sent out by the British to their squadron in the West Indies, for the immediate capture of Santa Cruz, St. Thomas, and the other Danish colonies. [Bosten paper.]
BEHOLD DENMARK! Citizens of America you should read in the treatment of Denmark, the lesson of which you must expect a copy, if England can but succeed against that nation.
The island of Zealand or Fionia, was in August—the object of vengeance.
But it may be Long Island, or Sullivan's Island, or Castle William, in April next.
You may calculate in safety upon your internal security, if your militia is only properly disciplined and organized—you could not have cause to fear from the united powers of Europe, with the men you have, duly organized, armed, and disciplined.
But your laws are lame—and there is a horrid coincidence between the conduct of the enemies of our government and the wishes of your foreign enemies.
If Zealand falls—it will be owing to the nation being taken by surprise, the people unimproved in military discipline.
If the British succeed against Zealand, you cannot expect to escape—it may be Rhode Island, or Long Island, or a strong position on the Florida shore, or on the Atlantic frontier of Georgia.
From such a position, though you could not be conquered, you could be dreadfully annoyed; and perhaps a southern position would be chosen—for two reasons—
1. Because the British calculate upon a mass of traitors in connection with Burr. 2. Because as we should be obliged to lend an army to the south, they would thereby hope to save Canada.
Even should they fail against Zealand, as their acts are those of despair alone—that very despair would lead them to acts more desperate against the United States.
See then the example of Denmark—and remember—that the situation of Denmark as a neutral power, is exactly like our own.
That the very same pretences that are resorted to against Denmark—are those used against us, only ours are more alarming—more fear—and therefore more likely to excite their enmity.
Denmark—recollect it well! Denmark has seized upon and sequestrated British goods in whatever hands placed.
Denmark has seized upon every British subject as an hostage & prisoner of war. Denmark—causes British agents and emissaries to be watched scrupulously.
Americans, you must inevitably reach the same point—or rather you will meet the same outrages, but have you not met them already?
The expedition against Zealand, has been matured for eight months—it was proposed in January, 1807, and was intended to be accomplished in June.
The attack on the Chesapeake was in consonance with the system—it was only a hint of what was to follow—and what you must expect.
Watch British emissaries—now. That you may know them—hereafter. Watch British property—now. That it may not escape—RETALIATION. [Philadelphia Aurora.]
The Swedish schooner Gustavus Vasa, (says the Baltimore Evening Post) from Hispaniola for Baltimore, was captured in September last by "His Majesty's" ship Adamant, John Stiles, master, and carried into Jamaica. Elijah Davis, who went out in the Gustavus Vasa, as second mate and pilot, was ordered, previous to their arrival at Jamaica, to do ordinary duty on board the Adamant, which he feelings, as an American freeman, induced him peremptorily to refuse; stating that he would not perform any duty under English colors.—He was consequently ordered by the said Stiles to be flogged in an infamous manner, and survived but a few days.
Mr. Davis was born in Patapsco Neck, Baltimore county, and was for many years a pilot in the Chesapeake Bay, and at the time of his murder had his certificate of a Branch Pilot in his possession.
From Surinam, 8th ult. we learn, that war between England and the United States, was expected; which caused much alarm; and an embargo was daily expected. [Cont.]

THE TREATY—A WHISTLE! Every body has heard of Dr. Franklin's story of the Whistle, and of the price he paid for it. It is a salutary tale, and well worthy of being stored in the memory.
The late project of a treaty with Britain was an attempt to impose upon this country in the same way that the American sage was imposed upon in his childhood with the little wind instrument: But our President was not green enough in years and wisdom to be whistled thus out of his senses.
It was no treaty—it was only so in name. After embracing a great many provisions in a variety of articles, a reservation appeared at the end of it, which enabled Great-Britain to annihilate the whole of it when she pleased, unless America would resent and resist the French decree of blockade.
Now can it be supposed that these United States, free, sovereign and independent as they are, would submit to the degrading condition that Great Britain should direct their resentments against France when and how she pleased? Had the President paused for a moment as to the rejection of the treaty after having read such a provision, he would have disgraced his own understanding and have degraded this whole nation in the eyes of the world.
But the disgrace of the chief magistrate and the degradation of the states would not have been all: The existence of such a provision would have afforded a pretext to Great Britain to break the whole treaty at pleasure. You have not properly resented the French decree, she might say, and her navy would be let loose upon us at once.
Was it a treaty then, that was offered to America?
Was it not rather only in name a treaty?
It was a mere British ministerial Whistle, the sound of which it was supposed at London would tickle the citizens of this country; but the price they asked for it betrayed the worthlessness of the instrument; and the President sent it back with an order to change it, as the people of this country would not dance to such music as it produced.
These remarks are made under the conviction that the writer of the New-York pamphlet called "The Treaty," has given the provisions of that instrument correctly.
How is the executive of the United States then blameable for rejecting this Whistle?
Was he to countenance our humiliation at the feet of Britain?
Was he to hesitate what to do, when so bold a stroke was made at our commerce?
Let the great mass of American citizens answer these questions.
[Baltimore American.]
According to the last accounts from Richmond, the mass of evidence produced in support of the motion that Col. Burr be held for trial in the district in which the mouth of Cumberland river is situated, closed the 6th inst. It was expected the arguments on that evidence would commence the next day, and that the opinion of the Court might be had at the close of the week. We hope an impartial summary of the evidence in this case will be published for general information.—The details are too voluminous for any but daily papers.
[Centinel.]
Gen. Wilkinson with a number of others have given in their testimony before the supreme court upon a motion to commit Burr for trial on the charge of high treason in Kentucky.
[Nat. Egit.]
It is a little remarkable that on the day when Wilkinson was to have closed his testimony, the quid Emperor was taken wonderfully sick, and could not till the day after collect courage enough to face the man who was unfolding to the public his diabolical schemes and whom he knew he had flandered and abused.
[Ibid.]
Some think, and but for late circumstances we should be of the number, that Judge Marshall can not resist the body of absolute proof which has been laid before him, upon the motion to commit Burr. We confess we cannot see upon what possible ground he can excuse himself from committing him—but we doubt that he will, and we think not without reason, for he who could determine one point contrary to all common ideas of reason and justice, may determine a thousand in the same manner.

LOAN OFFICE, New-Hampshire, June 11th, 1807.
NOTICE is hereby given, That in conformity with the provisions of the act supplementary to the act, intitled "An act making provision for the redemption of the whole of the public debt of the United States," books will be opened at the office of the commissioner of loans for New-Hampshire, on the first day of July next, to continue open until the seventeenth day of March, 1808, inclusively, the fourteen last days of each quarter excepted, for the purpose of receiving subscriptions for such parts of the old six per cent. deferred six per cent. and three per cent. stocks, as may, on the day of subscription, stand on the books of the said commissioner of loans.
Those proprietors of the old six per cent. and deferred stocks, who may subscribe, will receive in lieu thereof a new six per cent. stock, equal to the unredeemed amount of the stock surrendered, redeemable at the pleasure of the United States, under a proviso however, that no reimbursement shall be made except for the whole amount of any such new certificate of stock, nor till after six months previous notice. And the proprietors of the three per cent. stock who may subscribe, will receive in lieu thereof, a six per cent. stock, equal to sixty-five per cent. of the amount of three per cent. surrendered, redeemable in the same manner as the new six per cent. abovementioned, but not reimbursable however, without the assent of the holders, until after the whole of the new six per cent. (given in exchange for old six or deferred as abovementioned) as well as the whole of the eight per cent. stock of the United States, shall have been reimbursed. It is also provided that in every reimbursement which may take place, a preference will be given to those creditors who may notify their wish to be reimbursed; and that if the applications to that effect shall at any time either exceed or fall short of the sum then applicable to that purpose, the priority of payment shall, so far as may be necessary, be determined by lot.
The present stock-holders who reside in any part of Europe, and may assent to that modification, may, at their option, receive the interest accruing on the new stock, either in the United States as heretofore, or in London, or Amsterdam at par; in which last case, the interest will be paid there by the bankers of the United States, six months subsequent to the day on which the same would be payable in the United States, and subject to no variation; nor to any other deduction than a commission to the bankers of one half per cent. on the interest thus paid.
WILLIAM GARDNER, Commissioner of Loans.

SHEWS, HUNTING PENHALLOW, of Portsmouth, in the county aforesaid, merchant, that he is guardian, duly constituted and appointed, unto Margaret E. Scott, a minor, now residing in said Portsmouth; that said Margaret is seized and possessed in her own right, in fee, of a lot of land situated in Newmarket, in said county, containing about one acre, on which are now standing a dwelling-house, a store, and a barn; that said buildings are in a ruinous state, and stand in great need of repair; that he hath not in his hands sufficient funds of his said ward, nor are the rents and profits of said buildings sufficient for the repair of the same, and that the sale of said land and buildings would be conducive to the interest of his said ward. Wherefore he prays that he may be empowered to sell and convey said land and buildings, and as in duty bound &c.

State of New-Hampshire—Rockingham, ss. To the Honorable Justices of the Court of Common Pleas, begun and held at Exeter, within and for the county of Rockingham aforesaid, on the second Tuesday of August, in the year of our Lord, one thousand, eight hundred and seven.
THE petition of the subscribers humbly shews—That a Road, or public Highway, was by your honors on the first Tuesday of January, A. D. 1803, laid out in said town of Pembroke, beginning at Buck street bridge in Pembroke aforesaid, thence running north seventy degrees west, forty-five rods, across Buck-street to Joseph Jencks' land, thence north seventy degrees west, sixty rods, thence north sixty-two and a half degrees west, fifty six rods, thence north fifty-seven and a quarter degrees west, seventy five rods, thence north fifty-nine degrees west, one hundred and seventeen rods thence north sixty degrees and a quarter west, six hundred and fifty-four rods, thence north fifty-four degrees and a half west, sixty rods, thence north sixty-two degrees and a quarter west, two hundred and sixty-four rods to the highway leading from Pembroke to Concord on the top of low-cook hill, thence on said way north thirty degrees west, eighteen rods, thence north seventy-one and a half degrees west, partly upon Elliot's land, fifty-two rods to a stake spotted on four sides standing on the easterly bank of low-cook river, which road remains impassable; that it is laid out over such hilly, unsuitable, and bad ground, that the expense of building said road will be to the said town of Pembroke very great; that another road on the easterly part of said Pembroke is laid out, which will shorten the distance from Sow-cook river to Allenstown, and over ground much better for making road; It is believed that the public will be better accommodated in travelling the latter road than the former, and the expense to the town of Pembroke trifling, compared with that of the other; that Turnpike Roads lately built have rendered a multiplication of private roads wholly unnecessary. Your petitioners therefore pray, that your honors would order a continuance of said road leading from Buck street bridge to said spotted stake on the easterly bank of Sow-cook river aforesaid. And as in duty bound will ever pray.
JOHN EVANS, and 83 others.
