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 stock, and three per cent. stock, 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 stock, 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 redeemable 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.

From the Baltimore American.
It is to be lamented that the chief town of Old Massachusetts should furnish writers for Britain: Writers who go hand in hand with such fellows as Berkeley and the Tories of Canada. The Quebec Mercury of a recent date contains a long article on the subject of the late attack on the Chesapeake: It justifies the outrage in every particular, and speaks in the most contemptuous terms of this country. Among other expressions it has the following:
"Powerful and elevated among nations, as Great-Britain at this day is, she would be wanting to herself did she passively submit to any wilfully injurious, and atrocious conduct, from a people who, to the thunders of her navy have only to oppose such impotent weapons as Proclamations, Resolves, wailings and clamors."
One would suppose that such insolence would hardly be imitated by any printer in the United States. The single consideration that the sentiment is entirely British, ought to prevent an American journalist from coinciding with it. But Great-Britain has her partisans in this country as well as elsewhere, and the following, from the Boston Repertory, completely proves that a British subject in Quebec and an Anglo American at Boston are essentially the same kind of animal; and that if Dr. Park is not already a British hireling he is very willing to become one; for like the Quebec writer, he says—
"No nation possesses any perfect right without the power of enforcing it, and neutral rights are but a name without the power of giving them a reality. And to defend neutral rights by the force of clamor and argument against the interests of belligerents, is like opposing the hostilities of proclamations to the force of arms for their protection."
After reading these two extracts, it is believed that no man can really doubt about a British influence existing at Boston.
If "neutral rights are but a name," as the Boston Repertory asserts, why should government build a navy to protect them? We trust, however, although there are beings in this country grovelling enough in their mind to yield right to power, that there are honest citizens sufficient in the United States to give the government power to protect right.
Dr. Park thinks right is not to be supported by arguments. All his calumnies against the present administration, and all his justificatory animadversions in favor of British outrage, go to show, however, that he believes wrong may be countenanced by abuse.

LONDON ARTICLES.
From the London Messenger , July 4.
We sincerely deplore the dreadful calamity which has befallen our Allies, and annihilated every hope of checking the career of the enemy, by any means short of continental peace. We do not stop to notice the unprincipled levity of the ministerial journals, who are continuing to feed their readers with tales of the defeat of the French at a moment that accounts of this, we fear the last, overthrow of the allies have arrived—But, let the people of England at length awake from their delusion; but let those who rejoiced in the failure of the negotiation, look at the consequences which have followed from that disastrous event, and let no one be so thoughtless as now to expect that the independence of these crowns shall be sought for in Poland. Above all, we trust, not another English soldier will be sent abroad at this commencement of a new, we fear, a merely defensive war.
What a dreadful prospect is now before us! We are once more to cope single handed with France, and not merely single handed at the beginning of the contest, though that was reckoned enough to alarm us considerably in 1803, but deprived of every chance of a diversion in our favor, unless the war shall endure until the continent can be renovated, and the power of our allies created anew. In 1803, there was a good chance that Austria, or Prussia, or Russia, might attack France, should the attempt an invasion of England—there was a certainty of their doing so should she fail in it. The state of the continent then rendered it hazardous to invade England, and fatal to be defeated in the attempt.—The present state of the continent makes it perfectly safe to try the invasion; and not even hazardous to fail. If Bonaparte in 1804 had been repulsed in a descent upon the kingdoms, he would have been undone, and England would have secured both her own and the independence of Europe.—When he tries now, we trust we shall defeat him, but the utmost which we can hope to gain is present security; for he may fail in the autumn of 1807, and repeat the attempt in the following spring.—There is no longer any continent to take advantage of his discomfiture; he is playing a safe game; he can only lose what it is convenient for him to risk. We are, for the first time since England was a nation, playing a game of such odds, that if we win, we merely save our stake, if we lose, we part with our all.
JULY 5.
The second and third divisions of the expedition have failed upon their destination, they have received their sailing orders subsequent to the arrival of the intelligence of the battle of Friedland. Whither is this expedition about to be sent. Why is it sent at all, under such a state of circumstances. If the Allies are defeated in Friedland, are we to make a stand in Pomerania? Are we told, that though the Emperor Alexander has been defeated, the King of Sweden still remains unsubdued? We cannot understand the probable object of this expedition. It appears to us a most inconceivable piece of folly.
The debates in Parliament, on the Ministerial as well as on the Opposition side, have equally excited our regret. There seems on both sides more of party malignity than of public zeal. Each is endeavoring to overwhelm the other by accumulated charges.
This simple truth is, that General Benigsen has been completely defeated by the French army; that the Prussian army is flying, and the French pursuing, in all directions; that the King of Prussia is pushed out of his dominions, and the Emperor Napoleon advancing towards Peterburgh.—What will be the event?—Peace before Christmas. Russia and Prussia will now sign any terms they can obtain.
We can consider the battle of Friedland in no other view than as decisive of the fate of the North of Germany, and probably of the North of Europe. The victorious Napoleon may dictate the terms of peace to Frederic William and Alexander, as he did in 1805, at Presburg, to Francis of Austria; and the banks of the Vistula, and the banks of the Danube, must equally submit to the pleasure of the conqueror! And, though there is not much probability that these disasters could have been averted from our allies by any assistance which our forces could have rendered, had they been landed on the Continent, and had joined the allied armies—yet there is no excuse for the Cabinet of St. James, which they can plead for not sending them earlier to the Continent. They daily render more conspicuous their folly and their imbecility, by planning expeditions, not to assist our allies, but apparently only to become the ridiculous of our enemies: delaying their sailing till they fail only to witness the slaughter of those whom they are sent to assist, because the patronage of the respective factions cannot be earlier arranged.

CONTINUATION OF LATE Foreign Intelligence.
From London Papers to July 31st.
TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 17. The Turkish fleet has sailed from the Dardanelles, and given battle to the Russians, off the Isle of Tenedos. Both fleets were nearly of equal strength. The action lasted seven hours, and was severely contested; and though five Turkish ships were blown out of the line, yet the Captain Pacha, Said Ali, proved victorious, and the Russians were obliged to retreat to Imbria. No ship was either taken or destroyed on either side, but both fleets were roughly handled and lost many men. The Captain Pacha has returned to the Dardanelles, and expects some reinforcements to renew his attack.
The day before yesterday a Tartar (Courier) reached town from Egypt, with the following intelligence:—
"The English, in order to avenge the defeat sustained near Rosetta, marched again from five to six thousand men strong from Alexandria to attack that town, but were surrounded on their march and either put to the sword or taken. The English garrison of Alexandria reduced to 1000 men, demanded thereupon to withdraw on board Admiral Louis's fleet, which was granted." Contrary to custom the Porte has for the first time announced that victory to the public by an official bulletin.
LOWER-SAXONY. ROSTOCK JULY 16. Intelligence was received here this moment, that the French have advanced under the guns of Stralsund. The day before yesterday aforesaid place is a severe conflict took place near Prit, where the French drove the Swedes from their entrenchments with considerable loss. Some wounded have arrived here, to whose accommodation a church is devoted. A Swedish corps is said to be cut off near Anclam.
DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, JULY 17. On the 14th instant Lord Cathcart passed the Sound, on board an English frigate, of 44 guns, and proceeded without a moment's delay to Stralsund. The master of a ship, which sailed from Anclam to Rostock, heard on the 14th inst. a heavy cannonade on the side of Pomerania.
PETERSBURGH, June 24. On board an English frigate, arrived here a few days back, six millions of rubles in silver bars. They are no subsidies, but the amount of the loan which our Government has negotiated in England. Lord Gower embarked on board, and landed at Pillau.
ALGERINES & TUNISIANS. A vessel arrived on Saturday from the Mediterranean, with letters from the city of Algiers to the 5th ultimo inclusive. They communicate the intelligence that a vigorous war was carrying on between the Algerine and Tunisian States. In the latter end of May a general battle was fought, which lasted the whole of the day. At length the Tunisians gave way, and were pursued in their flight by the Algerines, who made dreadful slaughter among the fugitives. The Algerines were wound up to the highest pitch of confidence from their successes, and when the last advices came away, they were preparing to march in full force against Tunis, which was expected to fall an easy prey.
FRANCE. PARIS, JULY 12. The intercourse of the three Sovereigns at Tilsit, is perfectly confidential. At one of the dinner parties at Tilsit, which are always given by the Emperor Napoleon, his Majesty drank to the health of the Empress of Russia, and the Empress Mother. Next day the Emperor Alexander drank to the health of the Empress of the French. The first time that the King of Prussia dined with the Emperor Napoleon, his Imperial Majesty drank to the health of the Queen of Prussia.
The Moniteur contains a very circumstantial account of the late events in Turkey. It says—"The revolution at Constantinople will occasion no interruption in our relations with the Porte, but, on the contrary, that the French interest will be greatly strengthened thereby."
It is said that 50 millions had been found in the coffers of the decapitated Ministers. JULY 13.—Our papers state, that immediately after Semlin was dethroned, a column of troops marched from Constantinople to reinforce the Grand Vizier's army, and that the Ottomans had pursued the remains of the Russian army from Bucharest to Foczany.
SEVENTY-NINTH BULLETIN OF THE FRENCH GRAND ARMY.
WEILAU, June 17. "On the 14th the enemy advanced on the bridge of Friedland, and at three in the morning a cannonade was heard—"It is a fortunate day," said the Emperor: "It is the anniversary of the battle of Marengo."
Marshal Lannes and Mortier were first engaged, they were supported by Gen. Grouchy's dragoons, and by Gen. Nansouty's cuirassiers. Several movements and actions took place. The enemy were stopped, and could not pass the village of Posenhagen.—Imagining that they had only a corps of about 15,000 men opposed to them, they followed the movements of our troops towards Konigsberg; thus the French and Saxon dragoons and cuirassiers had the opportunity of making a brilliant attack, and of taking four pieces of cannon.
"By five in the evening the several corps were at their appointed stations. Marshal Ney was on the right wing, Marshal Lannes in the centre, Marshal Mortier on the left wing; the corps of Gen. Victor and the Guards formed the reserve."
"Meanwhile, the enemy displayed the whole of his army. His left wing extended to the town of Friedland, and his right wing a mile and a half in the other direction."
"The Emperor having reconnoitred the position, determined to take the town of Friedland. Then suddenly changing his front, and advancing his right, he commenced the attack with the first part of that wing. "About half-past five Marshal Ney began to move forward. Some shots from a battery of 20 cannon were the signal. At the same moment, the division of General Marchand advanced (sword in hand, upon the enemy, and proceeded towards the tower of the town; being supported on the left by the division of Gen. Bison."
"When the enemy perceived that Marshal Ney had left the wood in which his right wing had been posted, they endeavoured to surround him with regiments of cavalry, and a multitude of Cossacks; but Gen. Latour-Maubourg's division of dragoons rode up in full gallop to the right wing, and repelled the attack of the enemy. In the mean time, General Victor erected a battery of 30 cannon, in the front of his centre. Gen. Senarmont, who commanded this battery, pushed his works forward more than 400 paces, and greatly annoyed the enemy. The several manoeuvres they attempted, in order to produce a diversion, were all in vain."
"Marshal Ney was at the head of his troops, directing the smallest manoeuvres with that coolness and intrepidity which is peculiar to himself, and maintained that example which has always distinguished his corps among the other corps of the Grand Army. Several columns of the enemy which attacked his right wing were received with the bayonet and driven into the Alle.—Thousands found their graves in that river, and some escaped by swimming; meanwhile Marshal Ney's left wing reached the ravine line, which encircles the town of Friedland. The enemy who had posted the Imperial Horse and Foot Guards in ambush there, advanced with great rapidity, and attacked Marshal Ney's left, which for a moment wavered; but Dupont's division which formed the right wing of the reserve, fell upon the Russian Imperial Guards, defeated them, and made a most dreadful slaughter. The enemy sent forward several other corps from his centre, to defend Friedland: vain effort! Friedland was forced, and its streets strewn with dead bodies. The centre, commanded by Marshal Lannes, was at the same time engaged. The attempts which the enemy had made upon the right wing, being frustrated, he wished to try the effect of similar efforts upon our centre: he was, however, suitably received by the brave divisions of Oudinot and Verdier, and the commanding Marshal."
"The Imperial Horse and Foot Guards, and divisions of the first corps, were not in the action.—The victory was never for a moment doubtful.—The field of battle is horrible to behold. It is not too much to estimate the number of the dead on the side of the Russians, at from 15 to 18,000. The number of dead on the French side was not 500 but we have 3000 wounded. We have taken 30 cannon, and a great number of caissons: a great number of standards have also fallen into our hands. There are 25 of the Russian Generals either killed, wounded or taken. Their cavalry has suffered incalculable loss."
"Night prevented us from pursuing the enemy: they were followed until 11 o'clock. During the remainder of the night, the cut off columns tried to pass the Alle at several fordable places, and next day we saw caissons, cannon and harness, every where in the river."
"The battle of Friedland is worthy to be numbered with those of Marengo, Austerlitz, and Jena. The enemy were numerous, had fine cavalry, and fought bravely."
"Next day the enemy endeavored to assemble on the right bank of the Alle, and the French Army made manoeuvres on the left bank to cut them off from Konigsberg. The head of the columns arrived at the same time at Wehlau, a town situated at the confluence of the Alle and the Pregel. The Emperor had his head quarters in the village of Peterwalde."
"The enemy having destroyed all the bridges, took advantage of that obstacle, at day-break, on the 16th, to proceed on their retreat towards Russia. At 8 in the morning the Emperor threw a bridge over the Pregel, and took a position there with the army."
"Konigsberg was abandoned on the arrival of the intelligence of the battle of Friedland. Marshal Soult has entered that place, where much wealth has been found. We have taken there some hundred thousands of quintals of corn, more than 20,000 wounded Russians and Prussians, all the ammunition which England had sent to the Russians, including 16,000 muskets, which had not been landed.—Thus has Providence punished those, who instead of negotiating with good faith to bring about a salutary peace, treated that object with derision, and regarded the repose taken by the conquerors, as a proof of timidity and weakness."
"It was on the 5th the enemy renewed hostilities. Their loss in ten days which followed their first operations, may be reckoned at 60,000 men, killed, wounded, or otherwise, part hors de combat . A part of their artillery, the necessary supply of military stores, and all their magazines, on a line of more than 40 miles, are left to them. The French army has seldom obtained such great advantages with so little loss."

Marshal Count Kalckreuth, was presented this day to the Emperor. He remained an hour in his Majesty's Cabinet.
The corps of Marshal Lannes was reviewed this morning by the Emperor. He made several promotions, and gave rewards to those who had distinguished themselves by their bravery.
To-morrow the two Emperors will have a conference.
EIGHTY-SIXTH BULLETIN.
TILSIT, June 25. Agreeable to arrangements the two Emperors met on the raft in the centre of the Niemen, and saluted each other in the most cordial manner.
The vast number of persons belonging to each army, who flocked to both banks of the river to view this scene, rendered it the more interesting, as the spectators were brave men, who come from the extremities of the world.
LONDON, JULY 25.
An unexampled activity prevails, at the present moment, to procure seamen. The ships in the different ports are entirely stripped of their hands, without regard to protections of any description; and the streets in the seaports, and on the banks of the River, are totally deserted by every person having the least resemblance of a seaman, such of them as have hitherto escaped having retired to hiding places. In consequence of its being reported that great numbers are concealed in the City, the Lord Mayor has been applied to, to break press-warrants.
BY THE MAILS.
BOSTON, SEPTEMBER 10.
ONE OF THE
Chesapeake's crew HUNG!!!
It appears by the following statement, that a court martial has sentenced to be hanged, and he has been hanged accordingly, one of the four unhappy men who were seized by the British ship of war Leopard , on board the American frigate Chesapeake , in defiance of all law human and divine. The other three prisoners of war remain to be hanged in due season; one at the time, perhaps two, as the policy of State may dictate, and as the feelings of the American people may admit, in this last experiment on their patience and self-denial! Such an outrage has no parallel! It therefore requires no comment. But, if there is one drop of true American blood yet warm in our veins, and this insult is unrevenged, notwithstanding—let us then strike our flag never to raise it again, and bemoan in silence our honor lost, and our country humbled in "dust and ashes."
COURT MARTIAL.
On Wednesday last, a Court Martial was held on board H. M. S. Belleville , Rear-Admiral Sir A. F. Cochrane, K. B. Capt. N. D. Cochrane, for the trial of John Wilson, alias Jenkins Ratford, (lately taken from the American frigate Chesapeake ) on charges of Desertion, Mutiny and Contempt .
Rear-Ad. Sir A. F. Cochrane, K. B. President. Capt. F. Pickmore, Capt. J. E. Douglas, W. Falce, P. Beaver, E. Hawker, N. D. Cochrane.
It clearly appeared on the trial, that the prisoner was born in London—was a volunteer in the service—had been some years in H. M. S. Leopard , but last in the Halifax —That, on the 7th of March last, the ship being then in Hampton Roads, the prisoner was sent with four other men, under a petty officer, in a jolly-boat, to weigh a kedge anchor; when, taking advantage of the dusk of the evening, the men mutinied upon the officer, and some of them threatened to murder him; but the rest interfering, they desisted—and landing at Sewall's point, the five made their escape. A few days after, the deserters were seen parading the streets of Norfolk, in triumph, under the American flag:—One of them, H. Saunders, being arrested by Lord Townsend, asserted that he had no intention of deserting, but was compelled by the others; and would embrace the first opportunity to return on board.—At that moment the prisoner Jenkins Ratford, took the arm of Saunders, declaring that neither he nor any of the others should return to the ship—with a contemptuous gesture, asserted—That they were then in the Land of Liberty , and instantly dragged Saunders away: "That the prisoner had entered on board the Chesapeake —had proceeded to sea in her—and had been found on board that ship, after the action (by an officer of H. M. S. Leopard ) hid in the coal hold."
A variety of other circumstances were developed in the course of the evidence—The whole of which tended to prove, that although deserters from the American naval or military establishments had been readily given up by H. M. ships on the station; yet, on the other hand, they had ever been refused by the Americans, when demanded by British officers.
Two men had entered on board H. M. S. Chichester ; who, being demanded by an American officer as deserters from their service, were instantly restored, notwithstanding they were confessedly Englishmen.—But, W. Phillips, corporal of marines, John Mahoney, 37th regt. and others, having deserted from the Chichester , and entered with their uniforms on, into the American service, were positively refused to be given up to the British officer sent to demand them.
The evasion and duplicity of the American Commodore, in denying that there were any deserters on board his ship, were strikingly contrasted with the humane and honorable conduct of Capt. Humphreys; who, evidently demonstrated the greatest reluctance to pursue the steps, which the refusal of the American Commodore rendered absolutely necessary.
After a full and patient hearing of the evidence, on both sides, the Court withdrew for about half an hour; and, on its return, the Judge Advocate pronounced the sentence—
DEATH! The President addressed the unhappy criminal in a most pathetic and impressive style—lamenting much the depravity, which had induced him to desert the cause of his King and Country in the present eventful moment; when the very existence of that country was threatened, by inveterate and implacable enemies, on every quarter—and earnestly recommended him to occupy the remaining moments of his life, in making his peace with the Almighty.
The charges being fully proved, the court sentenced him to death; which sentence was carried into execution yesterday morning, at a quarter past nine o'clock, at the fore yard arm of his majesty's loop of war Halifax —the ship he deserted from. He was one of the four men taken out of the American frigate Chesapeake .
[Halifax Royal Gazette of Sept 1st.]
Application was then made to Lieut. Sinclair, the American Officer at the rendezvous; but without effect.
The Case candidly considered.
We are now to make a plain and concise statement of what we conceive to be the true nature of the present controversy between us and Great Britain.
The English writers in Canada, insist that the sailors who are the immediate cause of dispute, having entered into the British navy, and taken the king's bounty, and then deserted, could not be received and protected by us, and that therefore any British cruiser had a right to re-take them whenever she found them, on the high seas, "this being the only mode of re-
covering their deserted seamen." And some of the Boston prints have for some time been engaged in fostering down the public resentment, and preparing the way for at length maintaining that the attack of the Leopard on the Chesapeake was a necessary, and consequently a lawful act. Lastly letters from Halifax published and circulated in several of our newspapers, charge us with "being in the practice of crimping English seamen."
When we see such grounds openly taken or countenanced among ourselves, it is high time for those who hold a different language to come out and make a stand in behalf of our common country. Although not acquainted with all the facts in the case before us, yet it will be found, if we do not deceive ourselves, that enough have transpired to enable every man of common sense to form and pronounce a correct opinion upon it.
It appears by the letter of Capt. Crafts to the Secretary of the Treasury, that three of the four men about whom the controversy has arisen, viz: Ware, Martin and Little, belonged to the brig Neptune , which failed from New-York, August, 1805; that the brig was captured by the frigate Melampus , and sent into Plymouth for condemnation—the crew, excepting the captain and boy, having been first taken out. The brig and cargo were liberated on a hearing, and after the arrival of the Melampus at the same port, she returned the Neptune her crew, including these men. A few days afterwards, while the Neptune lay at anchor, two of the men, Ware and Martin, were ordered ashore in the boat, which they immediately deserted and left on the beach. Capt. Crafts went ashore in search of them and found Ware mixing with the crew of the Melampus , and on his speaking to him, he received a saucy answer and a refusal to obey him any more. The same evening Little deserted openly, before the Captain's face, getting into the barge of the Melampus , which came along side and took him in. On the application of Capt. Crafts to the commander of the frigate, to obtain his men again, informing him that their loss would distress him, the latter replied that he did not want the men, for he had his compliment, and he believed them to be three scoundrels; but that if they chose to enter with him, he should expect Capt. Crafts to pay them up their wages—which however was refused.
In this respect Capt. Crafts was more fortunate than the captain of the ship Fanny , who while lying in Greenock lost the whole crew by desertion to a British Tender, the Capt. of which not only refused to deliver them up, but obliged the American to send them their chests and baggage, and to pay up every shilling of their back wages. Indeed no one will deny that to receive deserters and encourage desertions to English ships of war is a constant, open, and avowed practice, and one countenanced by English laws.
Behold now our three seamen all safe on board the Melampus frigate, and making part of her crew, having formally entered and received the king's bounty. Very well. She arrives at Norfolk and sends her boat ashore for water, and these three sailors in it, with one more. They understand perfectly the trick of leaving boats; they had left the Neptune's boat, at Plymouth, in England, and had been received and protected by a British frigate; and it would be hard indeed, as well as unaccountably strange, if they could not leave the boat of the Melampus at Norfolk, in America. This mode of reasoning required no great ingenuity; it was indeed so natural and obvious, they could not well miss it, so they left the boat and made off!
The cups are turned, and every thing turns too, as by enchantment. The conduct which at Plymouth was thought so commendable and worthy of reward, when it operated against an American vessel,—now, at Norfolk, when it is found to operate against an English vessel, is suddenly transformed into the double crime of mutiny and desertion! both punishable with death!!! [N. T. Ev. Post.]
NORFOLK, SEPT. 2.
The Chesapeake was prevented from leaving Crany-Island on Monday by contrary winds; she went down to Hampton Roads this morning, with three of the gun boats.
The Ville de Milan , commanded by Sir Robert Laurie, having arrived in our bay from Halifax, the command of the British naval force devolves on Capt. Laurie, as senior officer. The Bellona was at Halifax by late accounts. It was reported a few days since, that one of the British ships of war had gone up the bay, we believe this to be a mistake. The ships now on this station are the Triumph , Leopard , Melampus , Cleopatra , and Ville de Milan ; the two former were in Lynden Bay on Saturday, and the two latter at sea, the last came in on Sunday.

Portsmouth, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1807.
TRIAL OF AARON BURR.
RICHMOND (Virg.) Friday, August 28. THE court sat at 9 o'clock in the morning. Mr. Martin continued the argument on the great question concerning the admissibility of evidence. His speech was remarkably zealous and animated, and replete with law-learning. It commenced immediately after the meeting of the court, and was not finished when they adjourned about five o'clock in the afternoon.
Saturday, August 29.—On this day Mr. Martin spoke again from 9 in the morning until nearly 3 o'clock in the afternoon. He was followed by Mr. Randolph on the same side, who closed the debate.
Monday, August 31.—A numerous audience assembled for the purpose of hearing the truly important opinion about to be pronounced by the Chief Justice of the U.S. About 40 minutes after 11 o'clock, the Judges took their seats.
The Chief Justice delivered in writing the opinion of the court which was uncommonly lengthy, learned and argumentative. Two hours and an half were consumed in reading it. The result was in favor of the motion made by Col. Burr and his counsel, to exclude the evidence. The doctrines expressed and maintained with great ingenuity and logical acuteness were in substance, that, although it was admitted and declared to be law that the actual presence at the scene of action of a person concerned in an act of levying war against the United States is not necessary to constitute him a principal traitor; yet a person not present, but at such a distance from the spot where the overt act is committed as not to be able personally to co-operate with or assist those who actually perform it, (his criminality consisting only in his advising and procuring the treasonable assemblage of men, or in his being engaged in league with them) must be specially indicted; and that no evidence against such person is admissible on a general indictment charging the levying of war against the United States, at a certain time and place, when and where he is proved or admitted by the counsel for the prosecution to have been absent—that Treason in levying war against the United States, may be perpetrated without the employment of actual force; but not without the appearance of force; that therefore the persons assembled for a treasonable purpose must be armed or arrayed in a warlike or threatening manner, and must display a force in some degree proportionate to the object intended to be accomplished; or, by their conduct when assembled, evince their design to execute a treasonable enterprise. Such parts of the opinion of the Supreme Court in the case of Bollman and Swartwout, as appeared to convey an opposite doctrine, were explained and declared to have been misunderstood by the counsel for the U.S. tho' the language of that opinion was acknowledged to have been equivocal and inaccurate in some respects. Whether the evidence was sufficient to charge the persons who were present at Blennerhassett's island with an overt act of Treason, was not expressly decided; but the contrary was strongly intimated. All the evidence was proclaimed to be irrelevant and inadmissible upon the indictment which had been filed against Aaron Burr, the jury were informed that the court by its own motion intended to interfere with their rights; and, if they chose to find him guilty upon the testimony which had been introduced, they had a right to do so!
The joy and exultation visible in the faces of Burr and his friends, was such as might have been expected. Mr. Hay observed that the opinion he had just heard furnished a variety of matter for consideration; that he could not immediately determine upon the course which ought to be pursued on the part of the U.S. He wished, therefore, to be furnished with the opinion for his perusal, and to be allowed a little time to consider the steps which it might be proper to take.
After some conversation his motion was acceded to, and the session suspended till 6 o'clock, P.M. at which time the counsel for the U.S. not being yet satisfied as to the measures to be taken, a further indulgence was granted them, and the court adjourned until Tuesday 10 o'clock.
Tuesday, Sept. 1.—The court sat at ten o'clock. Present the Chief Justice only. Mr. Hay informed the court the opinion delivered yesterday had been maturely considered by the Council for the U.S. States; the result of which was that he had nothing farther to offer, of evidence, or argument, to this jury.
The jury then withdrew; and, after an absence of twenty minutes, returned into court; and Col. Carrington their foreman offered their verdict, in the following words indorsed on the bill of indictment: "We of the jury find that Aaron Burr is not proved to be guilty under this indictment by any evidence submitted to us. We therefore find him not guilty."
Col. Burr and his Counsel warmly objected to this verdict, as informal, and not authorized by the charge given to the jury when they were sworn; contending it was their duty to say "guilty," or "not guilty," and no more; and that they had no right to return a verdict in writing, but only one tenus. Mr. Hay said, he knew of no principle which prevented the jury from finding a verdict in this form; and insisted that it ought to be recorded in the words used by them.
Mr. Richard E. Parker (one of the jury) observed that, if they were sent back, he should not agree to return any other verdict. It was more satisfactory in this shape to him and to the rest of the jury, than in any other. If he were to answer one tenus, he should certainly make use of the words which had been written. He enquired whether the indorsement could not stand the verdict be recorded in the usual form?
The Chief Justice was of opinion that this might be done; that the court had no right to reject the verdict (since it was a full answer to what had been given them in charge) but could direct it to be put in proper form. The indorsement remained as the jury had made it on the indictment; and the general verdict of "not guilty" was entered on the record.
Col. Burr said he should not move for his discharge until to-morrow. If there were any objections to his taking this course, they might be made. The counsel for the United States not being prepared to adopt any certain course with respect to the indictment against him for a misdemeanor, nothing farther was done.
FROM THE BALTIC.
Capt. Lamson, arrived at Salem, on Tuesday last, 32 days from St. Petersburg, via Copenhagen, informs, that he perceived a considerable degree of satisfaction among the Danes at the success of the French army, on account of its effect upon the English, against whom there is a prevailing antipathy. Capt. L. saw two fleets of English transports with troops, pass over the ground for Straitsund, their numbers said to be 40,000; and he passed another fleet between the Scaw and the Naze. These troops had been long before expected by the Russians, so as to have made a diversion in favor of the common cause; but their arrival was too late to produce any effect. [Contined.]
CAPTURE OF STRALSUND.
Further from the Baltic.—The brig Sally and Mary, Capt. Colb, arrived at Boston on Friday last, from Copenhagen, which place she left the 29th July. Unfortunately Capt. C. brought no papers; and we lament it the more, as had he brought any we should have been in possession of very late news from the Continent of Europe. Capt. C. informs, that a report had just been received of an attack upon Straitsund, and its capture, by the French; that previous to the attack, the English had joined the Swedes; that the battle was very severe, and that the loss of the French was very great. Of the Naze, Capt. C. saw 47 sail of British vessels, 27 of them ships of the line. [Ibid.]
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
The President Adams, Capt. Wood, arrived at Boston on Saturday last, in 32 days from Liverpool. Capt. W. informs, that two days before he failed, a letter was received there from London, by Messrs. Rathbone, Hughes & Duncan, advising them of the improbability of an accommodation taking place between England and this country; and recommending the American Captains under their charge, to leave port as soon as possible, whether freighted or not. Other letters were received in Liverpool, at the same time, and from different houses in London, which corroborated the above.
The French Pirate.—The French privateer Schooner, from Baltimore, which boarded and detained the Othello in the Chesapeake, has been captured. Of the crew which consisted of 21 persons, 12 are in confinement, and the remainder searching for. The crew consisted chiefly of deserters from Le Patriot and L'Espe. They will be tried in Calvert County.—Capt. Khrom has satisfactorily and honorably acquitted himself of the charge of being accessory to the piracy. [Chronicle.]
Extract of a letter from Charleston (S.C.) August 27.
"The Yellow Fever is now raging with great violence here—and few that are attacked escape. The times are precarious and truly alarming.—Numbers die daily; and none last more than four or five days after being attacked with this dreadful distemper."
NEW-YORK, SEPT. 7.
Fresh Outrages.—On Thursday last one of our gun-boats, coming into port, was fired at within the Hook, by the British armed brig Columbine, now within our waters in violation of the Proclamation; and the midshipman compelled to go on board, where he was detained, interrogated, and treated with the usual insolence.
In a former paper we stated that on Friday the Custom-House had, in the absence of the Revenue Cutter, sent down to the Hook a pilot boat, with the United States colours and officers; she was therefore to be taken by the British ships as the Revenue Cutter, for she had all her authority. The pilot boat came to anchor near the Columbine. This furnished a pretext for additional insults. The pilot boat was ordered by the commander of the Columbine to weigh anchor and remove farther off, or he would compel her. To this order no attention was paid; the continued where she was, and no violence was immediately offered. But on Saturday morning, under pretence of having missed a hand, the pilot boat was boarded from the Columbine by men armed with pistols, cutlasses, and blunderbusses, who swore that the man was concealed on board, and that they would search every nook and corner for him.—Accordingly the Revenue Cutter was searched, but not finding the man whom they pretended they had lost, the searchers averred that he was concealed among the ballast, and threatened to tear up the planks which covered it! They were told that they could do so if they pleased, but that if the ballast was disturbed the Cutter would instantly upset; at length, having exhausted their vocabulary of insolence the searchers desisted and returned to the Columbine.
On Saturday a man was detected in supplying the British ships at the Hook with provisions, and was very improperly suffered to go home. It is understood that his name is Eldridge, from Staten Island, and that he pretended ignorance of the Proclamation.
We are informed that the crew of the Jason mutinied on Saturday night—which was quelled by the officers, and 60 of the principals put in irons.
Sept. 9.—Yesterday a boat from the Columbine, with an officer and five men, went on board the pilot boat Brothers off Sandy Hook. The moment the officer got on deck, the men pushed off with the boat and made their escape to the shore.
The British frigate Jason and brig Columbine, were still at anchor within the Hook, last evening.
We are happy to learn that Government is turning part of its attention to the better security of our harbor.—A considerable number of pieces of heavy and field Artillery, mortars and howitzers, have been ordered from the Southward to Fort Independence, and a part of them have been already received. [Boston paper.]
The Rev. Mr. Appleton, of Hampton, (N.H.) has been elected President of Bowdoin College, (Maine) vice Rev. Joseph M'Kean, deceased.
COMMUNICATION.
THE INFLUENZA.
Is very prevalent through the country. The best remedies that have yet been applied for it, when people are seized violently, is to take an emetic; after the operation of which, take a pint of Tea, made of catnip, sage, and penny-royal, add a half of a wine glass of spirit, (and if you have them, 3 tea spoonsful of Bateman's drops) drink it as warm as possible, after you are in bed; cover yourself up warm, and take a decent sweat. Keep house the next day, and you will soon get better. The above tea is a dose for a grown person.
The first company of Artillery, in the 2d Brigade and 2d Division of Militia in New-Hampshire, formed in the towns of Sandbornton and Meredith, and under the command of Capt. J. A. HARPER, have voluntarily tendered their services to Government.
On Friday last, that distinguished Patriot, and friend of his country, His Excellency JAMES SULLIVAN, Esq. Governor and Commander in Chief of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, together with his Lady, Son, and suit, arrived in this town from Boston. They were met at Greenland, by a respectable Cavalcade from this town, consisting of His Excellency the Governor of this State, and his Aids, public officers of the General and State Government, Selectmen and Gentlemen of distinction, in carriages and on horse back, who escorted them to the seat of His Excellency Governor LANGDON, in this town.
GAZETTE MARINE LIST.
Saturday arrived, ship Miranda, captain Wadsworth, 62 days from Russia—Cargo, Hemp, Iron & Duck.—Left at Russia 10th July, ship Magnet, Bowles; ship Nancy, Shapleigh; ship Farmer, Lunt, and ship Brutus, Blunt, all of this port.
Sunday arrived, brig John Adams, Capt. Gookin, 63 days from Cadiz—cargo, Salt & Wine, to Edward J. Long.
The fch's Felicity, from Carthagena, for Baltimore, with 15,000 dollars specie, hides and bark, has been captured and sent to Halifax.
Several ships it is said, were lost in the North Seas, in June; among them an English ship of war, with several transports, which had cavalry on board, near Stormsfladt.—From 6 to 700 dead bodies, horses, &c. &c. are said to have been washed on shore.
BRIGADE ORDERS.
THE commandants of the several Regiments composing the First Brigade, will order the Regiments under their command, to parade, completely equipped as the Law directs, for inspection and Review in the following order:—The First Regiment under the command of Col.

The Brigadier General flatters himself, that not only the Minute Men lately detached by order of the President; but that the whole body of Militia, will exhibit such equipments and military skill, as shall evince their ability and promptitude to defend the privileges so equally enjoyed in our happy country.
The Adjutants of the several Regiments, (on the day of parade) will carefully inspect and make regular returns to the Brigade Major of the Arms and Accoutrements of the Minute Men lately detached from their Regiments.
The commandants of Regiments will appoint the places of parade, and give seasonable notice to the Brigade Major.

CENSURE—BY SWIFT.
YE wise instruct me to endure An evil which admits no cure; Or how this evil can be borne, Which breeds at once both hate and scorn: Bare innocence is no support, When you are tried in Scandal's court; Stand high in honour, wealth or wit, All others who inferior sit, Conceive themselves in Conscience bound, To join and drag you to the ground. Your altitude offends the eye, Of those who want the power to rise. The world a willing stander by Inclines to aid a specious lie; Alas! they would not do you wrong But all appearances are strong. Yet whence proceeds this weight we lay On what detracting people say; For let mankind discharge their tongues In venom till they burst their lungs, Their utmost malice cannot make Your head or tooth or finger ache; Nor spoil your shape, distort your face, Nor put one feature out of place. Nor will you find your fortune sink, By what they speak or what they think; Nor can ten hundred thousand lies, Make you less virtuous, learn'd or wise. The most effectual way to haul Their malice—is, to let them talk.
LATE OMISSIONS.
THE letter of Admiral Berkeley to the British Consul at Boston, may furnish a kind of explanation of the course pursued by the Boston federal papers. They take precisely the same ground that Berkeley does. Berkeley appears to rely for his justification entirely upon the circumstance of the seamen in dispute being deserters . The Boston federal prints support him by saying if they were deserters that makes the case worse for America. The British Admiral knew, it seems, what he was about when he wrote to the Consul at Boston; there are two or three papers there, it would appear, very much at his service. As soon as they got the scent they pursued the game in full cry; and every day they become more confident and bold in their strictures in favor of Great Britain on the subject of the late outrage on the Chesapeake. The Repository , the Gazette , and the Centinel , seem to be running a race, anxious to show their affection for the British cause, and to vindicate the order of Admiral Berkeley. The first mentioned of these papers of the date of the 7th inst. has the following paragraph:—
“Americans, keep your eyes and your thoughts upon the movements of your government. There is a deep game now playing.”
What shall we think of such language! Instead of pointing the public attention to British atrocity, to the vile government of that nation which, according to one of its own most eloquent writers, “ maintains a greater mass of human wretchedness and guilt than all the other political crimes of the age ,” the people of America are called upon to watch their own government. This is in the true conjuring style! Lo! here; lo! there; they cry: But their sole intention is to keep the eyes of spectators from themselves and their abettors, whilst they play off their tricks of delusion and error. ( Baltimore American. )
The tory papers say we should yield to the claims of England because in her present critical situation she wants all the can get. Suppose that in 1798 any man had declared that if France demanded money we ought to furnish it, because in the miserable state of her finances, she wanted all she could get to support her measures! Such a man would have hardly escaped personal outrage from these wretches, who now hold such dastardly language respecting England! ( Boston Courier. )
A foolish scribler in the Portsmouth Oracle of the 29th ult. cavils at the words “Great News,” which appeared in the N. H. Gazette at the head of the late important intelligence from Europe; He considers it as a gross instance of partiality to the French; and says it is folly, ignorance and wickedness to call the late accounts “great news!”
A man must be very jealous and captious, who could take offence at those innocent words, words which indicate neither satisfaction nor regret.
If a great battle, which is to decide the fate of a great portion of the globe, be the result as it will, is not “great news,” I know not what is?
O, the jealous fellow will say it means good news!
Then I suppose we are to avoid the word great, if we mean to avoid the risk of offending this gentleman with delicate nerves! We must not say there was a great fire in New-York, else we may be accused of considering it a good fire, and rejoicing in the calamity of our countrymen!—We must not say we have seen a great serpent, or a great inundation—we must never speak of a great plague, or a great famine, or a great earthquake, nor of any great evil, lest we be considered friends to serpents, pestilence, famine, and other agents of destruction, and, in fine, friends of all evil! How sore these fellows are when ENGLAND receives a wound!
We must oppose France, say the tories, because she is powerful.
We must not oppose Great Britain, say the tories at the same time—because she is powerless—and can destroy our trade, and ruin our farmers, &c.!
MISCELLANY. HISTORICAL SKETCH.
“In the year 1421, the Mæse having burst its dykes, and being considerably swelled when the tide came in with great violence, the country bordering on Dort was overflowed, above one hundred thousand persons perished; and fifteen churches with steeples, several castles and seventy two villages were overflowed; their melancholy ruins are still visible at low water.
A new sea formed itself on the south east of Dort, which is called the Brisebois. This sea communicates with the old Mæse and with the open sea, and forms the island on which Dort is situated.
In the general calamity of this inundation, an infant only was saved; it floated with its cradle on the water, a cat belonging to the family sat on the side of it; when the cradle inclined, the cat in a panic, leaped on the highest side, and by the counterpoise, restored the equilibrium. This was perceived from the land, the cradle was waited for, and the infant was saved. From that infant descended M. Vander Hoven, who is consul of France at Rotterdam.
ANECDOTE.
A captain of one of the British frigates, a man of undaunted bravery, had a natural antipathy to a cat; a sailor, who for some misconduct had been ordered a flogging, saved his bacon by presenting to his captain the following petition:—
By your honor's command, A culprit I stand, An example to all the ship's crew; I am pinion'd and strip'd, And condemn'd to be whipt, And if I am flogg'd 'tis my due. A Cat I am told, In abhorrence you hold— Your honor's aversion is mine. If a Cat with ONE tail, Makes your stout heart to fail, O! save me from one which has Nine!
