LOAN OFFICE, New-Hampshire,
June 11th, 1807.
NOTICE is hereby given, That in conformity with the provisions of the act supplementary to the act, intituled "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, as may, on the day of subscription, stand on the books of the said commissioner of loans.
Those persons who hold 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.

And all representations at any meeting of said Corporation shall be proved by a writing signed by the persons so represented, which shall be kept on file by the Clerk; and this Act, and all rules, bye-laws, and votes with the regulations of said Corporation, shall be fairly and truly recorded by the Clerk, in a book of records provided by said Corporation.
And be it further enacted, That said Corporation be, and it hereby is authorized and empowered to erect and build a Bridge upon and across Exeter River, between the said towns of Stratham and Newmarket, at the place where the old Bridge between said towns now is: Provided, however that they make and find the same a suitable, sufficient and well constructed draw or hoist, for the passage of such vessels and craft, passing up and down, as need such a convenience and passage. And that they provide and keep in repair after said Bridge shall be erected, suitable and sufficient apparatus for raising said draw or hoist, and keep one person in readiness to assist in hoisting the same.
And be it further enacted, That for the purpose of reimbursing the said Corporation, the monies which shall be by them expended and laid out in building said Bridge, and keeping the same in good repair, a toll be and hereby is granted and established, of the rates following, (to wit) for each foot passenger, one cent; for each horse and rider, three cents; for each two wheeled carriage of pleasure, drawn by one horse, six cents; and two cents for each additional horse; for each four wheeled carriage of pleasure, (or for passengers) drawn by two horses, twelve cents, and two cents for each additional horse; for each sleigh drawn by one horse, five cents, and two cents for each additional horse; for each cart, sled or other carriage of burden, drawn by one horse, five cents, and two cents for each additional horse; for each cart, waggon, sled or sleigh of burden, if drawn by one yoke of oxen, six cents, and two cents for each additional yoke of oxen, or pair of horses; for each horse, except those ridden or neat creature, one cent; and for each sheep or swine, one quarter of a cent.

Approved June 18, 1807. JOHN LANGDON, Governor.
BURR'S TRIAL.
The trial of Aaron Burr for Treason, as stated in our last, has been arrested by the decision of the court.—Of the soundness of this decision it is premature to speak, as it is not yet given to the public, and may possibly present views of the subject which have not suggested themselves to any other mind beside that of the Chief Justice. At such an arrestation of the ordinary course of justice, the unlearned world are, it is true, lost in astonishment. It is, however but fair to wait for the reasons on which the opinion is founded. But is not premature to express our regret that the full disclosure of a plot, which there is every reason to believe was of the most gigantic and alarming character, has been thus smothered at the very threshold. Is the immense volume of testimony, now accumulated at Richmond, and which will never hereafter, perhaps, be elsewhere collected, to be closed for ever? Of one hundred and thirty five witnesses but fifteen have been examined; and of these fifteen but a few have said anything of the direct agency of Burr.—The moment he was pursued into the states of Ohio and Kentucky, and the territories, the disclosure is arrested—by whom? By Aaron Burr and his counsel—and the arrestation, although strenuously opposed by the council for the United States, is sanctioned by the court. The question forcibly presents itself—are the nation to have the door shut against that mass of testimony, which is expected from Wilkinson and the other witnesses summoned? Are they still to grope in the dark on points of vast importance, which deeply implicate persons and things, and which have keenly excited the sensibility of the whole country. Is suspicion still to keep possession of the judgment seat, and usurp the authority alone due to truth? These are considerations, which, we will venture to predict, will most powerfully influence the public mind. The people will enquire to whom they are indebted for the suppression of facts so anxiously desired by them. They will naturally enquire why they were suppressed by Mr. Burr unless he dreaded their disclosure; they will enquire what reasons an innocent man could have for suppressing the truth.

Foreign Intelligence.
FRANCE. PARIS, JULY 24. Since the conclusion of the pacific conferences at Tilsit, the interrupted series of army bulletins has been renewed. The first inserted in the official paper of this day is as follows:—
EIGHTY-SEVENTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
Konigsberg, July 12.—The Emperors of France and Russia, after twenty days residence at Tilsit, where the Imperial Palaces were in the same street, and at no great distance, took leave of each other with the greatest cordiality, at three o'clock in the afternoon of the 9th. The Journal which contains an account of what passed between them will be very interesting to both nations.
At half past four, the Emperor Napoleon having received a visit from the King of Prussia, who came to take his leave, set out for Konigsberg, where he arrived at ten at night. The King of Prussia went to Memel. Yesterday the Emperor Napoleon inspected the port of Konigsberg, in a boat manned by the Imperial Guard. To-day his Majesty will review Marshal Soult's corps, and at two o'clock to-morrow he will set out for Dresden.
The number of Russians killed in the battle of Friedland amounts to 17,500, the prisoners to 40,000; 18,000 of whom have already passed thro' Konigsberg, 7000 remain sick in the hospitals, and the rest have been conducted to Thorn and Warlaw. Orders have been issued to send them home to Russia, without delay; 7000 have already returned again to Konigsberg. Those in France are to be formed into provisional regiments. The Emperor has ordered them to be clothed and armed.
The ratifications of the Treaty of Peace between France and Russia were exchanged at Tilsit on the 9th. The ratification of the Treaty of Peace between France and Prussia, will be exchanged here this day.
The Plenipotentiaries charged with these negotiations were, on the part of France, the Prince of Benevento; Princes Kurakin and Labanoff, on the part of Russia; on the part of Prussia, Field Marshal Count Kalkreuth, and the Count de Goltz.
After such events as these, one cannot but smile when the great English Expedition is mentioned, and of the new frenzy which animates the King of Sweden. Besides, we may remark that the army of observation, between the Elbe and the Oder, is 70,000 strong, exclusive of the Grand Army, without including the Spanish divisions, which are now upon the Oder also. It was, therefore, necessary for England to have brought her whole force together, her soldiers, her volunteers, fencibles, &c. in order to have made a diversion of any interest. But when we take into our account, that England, under the present circumstances, has sent 6000 men to Egypt only to be slaughtered by the Arabs, and 7000 men to the Spanish West-Indies, we can alone feel sentiments of pity for the extravagant avarice with which that Cabinet is tormented.
The Peace of Tilsit puts an end to the operations of the army: notwithstanding this, all the Prussian coast and ports will be shut against the English; and it is probable the continental blockade will not prove a mere fond.
The Porte is included in the Treaty.—The revolution which lately occurred at Constantinople, was an Antichristian revolution, which has nothing in common with the policy of Europe.
The Adjutant-Commandant Guilleminot is gone to Bessarabia, where he will communicate to the Grand Vizier the intelligence of the peace, and the liberty given to the Porte to take part in it, as well as of the conditions of the treaty in which the Porte is interested.
LONDON, AUGUST 2.
Yesterday the letters, which were received by the Tonnigen Mail on Friday night, were delivered from the Post-Office. They concur in stating, that France has required the Danish Government to assist in the exclusion of the British Commerce from the Continent, and to shut the Sound against our Trade. Bernadotte has been sent to the Prince Royal, at Kiel, in Holstein, to urge these demands, and a strong corps of French, Dutch, and Spanish troops has been collected on the Elbe, to enforce them. It is even said Altona has been occupied by a division of the Dutch Army, under Gen. Dumonceau, and that a detachment had been pushed forward towards Tonnigen, when dispatches from Holland recalled them towards their own frontiers.
Between the 19th and 21st ult. 7000 Dutch troops arrived at Hamburg, and were followed on the 22d by nearly 3000 more, on the day following, however, 9000 of them re-crossed the Elbe, having been recalled to oppose the apprehended embarkation of the British in Holland.
The French are making great naval and military preparations at Antwerp, Flushing, Ostend, and along that coast, for the invasion of England.
Notwithstanding the peace between the great Continental Powers, reinforcements for the Grand French Army continued to late as the 20th ult. to cross the Vistula.
The Ayan of Rudschuk, Bariaktar, has been proclaimed successor to the late Grand Vizier, but had not so late as the 10th ult. undertaken any enterprise against the Russians.
Aug. 3.—A general expectation prevails on the Continent, that the naval coalition will be revived against this country. A letter of a late date, which we have received from Holland this morning, contains the following passage:—“It is conjectured in the first circles here, that peace will soon follow with England, otherwise England will have to arm herself against all the world!”—It is said that the Emperor Alexander has so far lent himself to this project, as to have acceded to the pretension, that “free bottoms make free goods.” If this monstrous principle were once established, there is an end of our naval superiority. We should never be able to make France, or any other power with which we may be engaged in hostilities, feel the pressure of war.
We have received Paris papers to the 22d, and Dutch to the 27th ult. They confirm the report of the Emperor of Russia, the Grand Duke Con-
stantine, Prince Kurakin, and two other Russians of rank having become members of the Legion of Honor, in exchange for the cross of St. Andrew, which has been conferred by the Emperor Alexander upon Napoleon, Jerome Bonaparte, the Grand Duke of Berg, and others.
The letters received by the Gottenburgh Mail from St. Petersburg, contain orders for goods to a much greater amount than usual, from the apprehensions of a suspended intercourse between Russia and this country.
Aug. 4.—Letters received from St. Petersburg, by the Gottenburgh Mail, express strong apprehensions that the present good understanding between this country and Russia will not long continue. The same opinion, we understand, prevails among the British merchants trading to Russia. Insurances against “capture and seizure,” we are informed, were yesterday effected upon vessels from the Russian ports in the Baltic. The letters, too, from St. Petersburg mention that the commercial treaty with this country has been enlarged for three days only. These, if not indications of an approaching rupture, are certainly proofs that the connexion between the two countries is not so close as it has been. We fear that Bonaparte has succeeded in persuading the Emperor Alexander to try the effect of another naval coalition.
We are very apprehensive that when the Treaty lately concluded between the French and Russians becomes public, it will be found to contain Articles more injurious to the trade of this country than merely resisting our right of searching neutral vessels. We are much mistaken if this Treaty will not be the cause of great and well-founded alarms for the safety of our East India possessions. Our readers will recollect the friendly terms which exist between Bonaparte and the Persian monarch; and though Russia is at present at war with him, yet we have no doubt the Treaty of Tilsit has made them friends. France, in alliance with Russia, Persia, and the Porte, may easily march an army by land to our East India territories powerful enough to subvert our dominion there. The possession of Egypt, by this time evacuated by our troops, will throw additional facilities in the way of this enterprize.
The letters from Holland state, that a new code of restrictive laws against English Commerce, was immediately to be distributed, and enforced with all possible rigor.
The Presburgh Gazette, of the 15th ult. mentions, that the Servians have defeated the Turks near Widdin with the loss of 2000 men, killed and wounded, 13 pieces of cannon, 5 mortars, and 21 ammunition waggons.—The loss of the Servians did not exceed 1000 men.—Czerni George, at the head of 80,000 men is stated to have entered Bulgaria.
OF AMERICA.
In the British House of Commons the 7th of August, in a debate on the consolidated fund bill,
Sir Thomas Turton thought, that in the present circumstances it was necessary to give confidence to Ministers. Russia and Prussia were prostrated at the feet of France, and our disputes with America increased. The conduct of the latter country was owing entirely to the pusillanimity of the late Ministry, who treated with America with a pistol at their breasts.
Mr. W. Smith, adverted to what had been said by Sir Thomas Turton relative to America, and said, that when that country was mentioned, it could not be in a language too moderate or too conciliatory. He was certain that Ministers had a very difficult task to perform with respect to America, and he believed they would be very cautious how they followed the advice of the honorable Baronet.
In the House of Commons, last night, Mr. Whitebread suggested the propriety of short adjournments in the present critical state of the country. He was answered by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who declared explicitly, that it was intended to prorogue Parliament as soon as the public business should be disposed of.
LONDON, Aug. 8.—A considerable sensation was produced in the City yesterday, by report that an embargo would be laid this day on all American vessels. Several captains belonging to that country caught the alarm, cleared their vessels out in ballast, and immediately took their departure.—The situation in which this country stands with respect to America, is certainly very critical, but we trust their differences are not so incapable of accommodation as to require so harsh a proceeding as this. The Americans, with all their noise and intemperance, had not according to the last accounts proceeded to this extremity. Refusal of supplies, and prohibition of intercourse with the shore, it appears, were the harshest measures recommended at the most violent of their meetings.
We understand that orders have been expedited at Liverpool, and other ports, to prevent for the present, the departure of any foreigners from this country, notwithstanding any passport that may have been granted for that purpose. It is possible that this measure has given rise to the rumour of the intended embargo.
A war with America is spoken of in the Ministerial circles as an event that will certainly take place. A report prevailed last evening, that an embargo would immediately be laid upon all American vessels, and an order to that effect was hourly expected this morning. The American merchants have taken alarm; twelve of them cleared out their vessels in ballast, last evening, and dropped down the river.
Aug. 9.—Up to this hour no advices have been received from either the one or the other division of our fleets, which have proceeded on the expeditions.
The expected embargo on American vessels has not yet been adopted, but we are without the means of judging of the cause of this forbearance. We are informed that the American minister yesterday communicated to our cabinet, the proclamation of the American executive.
GLASGOW, Aug. 10.—By a vessel which left New-York on the 4th of July, and arrived at Liverpool on Thursday, we have been put in possession, through the politeness of a mercantile house in this city, of a copy of the President's Proclamation, and of other interesting intelligence from America, of the latest date. On the matter of right, we shall at present avoid all discussion. As to the probable consequence of the present dispute, our opinion inclines to war. All armed ships in British commission are prohibited from entering American ports; those at present in American ports are ordered instantly to depart, and all intercourse with them prohibited. The only condition held out to our government in the President's Proclamation is reparation, a word of much moment, and of very indefinite interpretation. We think it most probable that our ministers will support Admiral Berkeley, and vindicate his conduct.
A war with Russia we apprehend to be not less probable than a war with America.
Lord Hawkesbury has addressed a letter to the lord lieutenant of Ireland, stating, that “according to a determination of the privy council, ships being American property, but not the built of America, or condemned as prize within the U. States, falling under sea letters, cannot be considered as American vessels, and consequently entitled to import into G. Britain. Vessels arriving prior to the 31st of October will be permitted to an entry.”
BY THE MAILS.
CINCINNATI, (Ken.) AUG. 24.
A correspondent informs, he received the following information from one of Burr's followers who has lately returned to this neighborhood from the abortive golden expedition, viz. that most of their boats had false bottoms, in which were concealed arms and other warlike preparations—that to the bottom of other boats were attached boxes painted and made water tight, and so ingeniously contrived, that by a touch they could be disengaged and precipitated to the bottom of the river, for their better concealment in case of danger of discovery—that such boxes were also filled with arms, &c. that the number of muskets, exclusive of field ordinance, transported down the Mississippi, amounted to many thousands of stands. Being asked if they did not amount to 13,000, he answered they far exceeded that number. The man observed that the followers of Burr were left in the greatest distress, for want of the means to return to their respective homes; that he overtook thirty of them on the road, sick, without money, and unable to proceed; that Morgan Neville, one of Burr's aids, had gone up the Arkansas river. He observed further, that Burr's paymaster, Uriah de Lacy, a lawyer from Kentucky, had given him 10 dollars, on account of pay, which was all he ever received as such.
CARLISLE, (Penn.) AUGUST 11.
By an article in the Washington Telegraph it is said, a gentleman from Detroit, brings an account that the British merchants at Michilimackinack, refuse to purchase any articles of the country produce from the Americans, and that they are preparing to remove from our territory, with their effects. From this and a long talk by an Indian Chief, called the Trout, May 7, 1807; who has breathed the most deadly hatred against the Americans, it is easy to perceive that we have little friendship to expect from that quarter; he says that a message from the Great Spirit and that the first man that ever was created is now in the Shawnee nation: in the name of the Great Spirit he laments to see that his red people are so much on the decline, and that he had thoughts of destroying the world, but that in pity to them, he has allowed the world to stand three lives; he acknowledges that he made the whites over the waters, and the Spaniards, but that the Americans were created by the evil spirit, who caused a strong east wind to blow, by which he made the waves to foam and to dash the froth and filth
over into the woods, of which the Americans were formed. He advises his (the red) people to abstain from drinking spirits, except the chiefs, who may drink such as comes from Montreal, but not to touch the American whiskey which is poison ; nor to shake hands with them; he encourages the red people, by saying that although the Americans are numerous, yet he will support his people against them. This is the general substance of the talk, from which our readers may draw their own conclusions.
TRIAL OF AARON BURR.
FEDERAL CIRCUIT COURT.
FRIDAY, SEPT. 4.
The proceedings of this day, commenced with an application on the part of Aaron Burr, for the production of an original letter from Gen. Wilkinson, to the president of the United States, dated the 12th November, 1806, which letter was in the possession of Mr. Hay, the attorney for the United States. The president having confided to Mr. Hay, the discretion of holding such parts of the said letter, as were of a confidential nature, he refused to exhibit the whole of it in evidence. A writ of subpoena duces tecum was thereupon awarded, returnable immediately, commanding Mr. Hay to produce the letter. His return was in the following words:
“I hereby acknowledge service of the above subpoena, and herewith return a correct and true copy of the letter mentioned in the same, dated 12th November, 1806, excepting such parts thereof as are, in my opinion, not material for the purposes of justice, for the defence of the accused, or pertinent to the issue now about to be joined: the parts excepted, being confidentially communicated to the president, and he having devolved on me the exercise of that discretion which constitutionally belongs to himself. The accuracy of this opinion I am willing to refer to the judgment of the court, by submitting the original letter to its inspection. I further certify, in order to shew, more clearly the irrelevancy of the parts excepted, to any defence which can be set up in the present case, that those parts contain a communication of the opinion of the writer concerning certain persons; about which opinion, or the fact of his having communicated it, the writer, if a witness before the court, could not legally, as I conceive, be interrogated and about which no evidence could legally be received from other persons.
GEORGE HAY.”
Col. Burr's counsel then observed that they had two resources for compelling the production of the paper; either to move for an attachment against Mr. Hay, which their friendship would forbid, [Mr. Hay declared that these papers could not be extorted from him, without the intervention of the authority of the court; and even where they to issue their process, that he should rather go to jail than to surrender the letter;]—or to move for a rule “that this prosecution stand and be continued till that letter be deposited with the clerk.” They would accordingly press the latter motion.
This motion produced an animated discussion. A few minutes before 5 o'clock, the chief justice decided that under the circumstances of this case, it was not in the power of the court to say that the letter should not be produced; that the reasons assigned for withholding it were not sufficient, and that if it were not produced the court must either take measures to compel a compliance with its process, or continue the cause. With respect to such parts as were deemed confidential, the court would take measures to prevent their being made public, by providing that no copies should be taken, that no use was to be made of the letter except in relation to the trial, that it should not go out of the court, and that those persons who take notes of the proceedings were not to consider themselves at liberty to publish any part of that letter. He concluded by repeating that the production of the letter in court might contribute to remove many of those suspicions which its suppression would infallibly excite.
Mr. Hay observed that he was not distinctly acquainted with the wishes of Gen. Wilkinson on this subject, he should, however, consult him; and he hoped that he would consent to the production of the letter under the restrictions mentioned by the court.
FROM RICHMOND SEPT. 9.
In addition to nine columns of Judge Marshall's opinion, on the motion to arrest evidence.—We have received the Enquirer containing the conclusion of the opinion, which makes in toto , nineteen columns in very small type.
On Thursday 3d inst. the court delivered their opinion on the proper process to be employed for bringing Aaron Burr before the court to answer the indictment for the misdemeanor; it concludes by stating. To issue a capias to take into custody a person actually in custody would be an idle ceremony. In such a case the order of the court very properly supposes the place of a capias .
On the 14th col. Burr renewed the subject of the two letters from Gen. Wilkinson to the president of the United States.
On the 5th read the following additional return:
“I hereby certify, that upon a more minute examination of the letter above mentioned, I have observed other passages, which are entirely of a public nature, and which, according to my best judgment, ought not to be disclosed, and which, I conceive, would not be disclosed by the president himself, if the return were to be made by him.
GEORGE HAY.”
On the 7th a jury was not obtained, twelve additional jurymen were ordered to be summoned. Messrs. Blennerhassett and Smith are admitted to bail, each in the sum of 5,000 dollars.
From the Boston Chronicle.
What ideas can we form of law and justice, when crimes are eliminated in some courts so contrary to the moral code, which is naturally impressed on the mind of the serious and reflecting? Is it possible that criminality should become a mere phantom, calculated for the sport of party,—or the scourge to gratify private malice or public revenge? Are crimes real or fictitious, as they apply to the objects who are made responsible for their conduct? Is one man free from every accountability, or suffered with impunity to become the desperate perpetrator of murder or treason, while another is exposed to suffer the utmost extension of punishment, merely for attempting to regain a right of which he has been unjustly deprived? When we behold men of this description brought before a Judge, are we not led to examine the principles on which the decision is made as to their respective cases? Are we not shocked at the idea, of seeing one man doomed to the most ignominious death, or cruelly lacerated, whose alleged criminality consists in relieving himself from captivity; while others are discharged amid the approving smiles of those who pratisse within the court, though charged with murder or treason? While one is hung up amid his associates with all the display of legitimate formality, the others are suffered to return again into the bosom of society, to act over the same tragic scene, whenever their hearts ripen those corroding qualities which led them at first to commit the outrage. Is there a citizen worthy the blessings of a free government; is there a Christian who estimates the decrees of Heaven; is there a man who feels the glowing sympathies of humanity—but must turn with abhorrence from so distressing a picture? See the unhappy victim bound in chains—hear him breath the agony of his soul—see him led to the place of execution—observe his attentive comrades, whose eyes and hearts express the keen sensibility of their reflections! The pageantry of the priest, the solemn silence during the devotional address to heaven—all serve to render the scene distressing to humanity!—This is thy fate unhappy Wilson! this is thy punishment! but even in this awful moment, the recollection of thy crime cannot add to the torments of thy mind.
But, while we contemplate the victim thus brought to the crisis of his existence; while we view him a lifeless corpse, free from the further impositions of his persecutors—our ears are assailed with the agonizing groans of those who are suffering under the lacerating lash of the whip and scourge. Gracious God! to what a state of depravity is human nature debased? Can it be right or just, that such distinctions should be exercised in society? That one class should be exposed to all the severity of punishment and cruelty, while another is rioting over innocence, and embracing their hands in blood? Must groans and agonizing sighs proceed alone from victims who have fallen within the unrelenting power of infuriated tyrants? Such judicial partiality will ever arouse disgust and abhorrence in the breast of reflecting citizens. It will excite that investigation which must eventually bring the culprit and his co-adjutors to justice, and make them tremble for their crimes. The really criminal are obnoxious to Heaven, and the voice of Justice, we trust, will ere long proclaim it.
BENNINGTON, (Vt.) AUG. 17.
On Saturday last, the 30th anniversary of the battle of Bennington was celebrated by the silver greys, and their patriotic sons of this vicinity. It is joyful to record the spirit of our fathers and it is greatful in the heirs to the rich inheritance they purchased at Walloomsack, to imitate their virtues and to swear to preserve the price of blood by equal valor. Agreeably to previous notice, the procession formed at the court house; it consisted of upwards of 350 thorough-going republicans, who still march to the tune of Yankee Doodle. After arriving at the meeting-house, the exercises were introduced by a solemn dirge, from Apollo's band: a fervent and very appropriate prayer by the Rev. Mr. Marsh, succeeded; and an oration was delivered by Mr. Anthony Eastwell, in which a narration of important scenes preceding our revolution, a recapitulation of the solemn transactions in Bennington, &c. on the 16th of August, 1777, and remarks upon more recent occurrences in the U. S. were delivered in a manner entertaining and instructive to the audience, and worthy the republican character of the orator. Instrumental music closed the exercises, and the procession returned in the usual order, accompanied by the band.
The U.S. Schooner Revenge , with dispatches for our Ministers in England, was spoken, on the 18th August, then out 17 days.—With anything like a fair wind she must have reached Falmouth, or some other port in the English channel, in five or six days.

THE NEWS.
By the ship George, Capt. Taylor, arrived at New-York, in 28 days from Greenock, brings London papers to the 9th, and Greenock to the 13th ult.
The President's Proclamation relative to the Chesapeake, together with the consequent proceedings at Norfolk had reached England, and published in the different Gazettes with comments—the noise and bustle there was as great as that produced here, when the first news of the attack of the Leopard on the Chesapeake reached us—and a war between the two countries was, for a short time expected—but, before the George failed, the public agitation had subsided, and the general opinion was, that all existing causes of complaint would be amicably settled by the governments of the two countries.
The great naval expedition which has sailed from England for the Baltic, employs, including the German Legion, more than 40,000 troops, and between 70 and 80 ships of war of different rates, manned, perhaps, with nearly 30,000 seamen.
Dispatches were received from the British minister in Portugal, which confirm the threats of Bonaparte against that country.
The treaty between France and Russia contains 29 articles. The following are the substance:
It states that Napoleon has restored the king of Prussia, merely in compliment to the Emperor of Russia.
The twelve first articles are little more than a repetition and confirmation of the treaty between France and Russia.
Art. 13. Napoleon accepts the mediation of Russia, in order to negotiate and conclude a definitive treaty of peace between France and England—however, only upon condition that the mediation shall be accepted within one month from the ninth of July.
In the following articles, Russia acknowledges Bonaparte's new kings, and cedes the lordship of Jever in East Friesland, to Holland.
Art. 21 and 22. Stipulated the cessation of hostilities between Russia and Turkey. The evacuation of Moldavia by the Russian troops, and Russia accepts the mediation of France to negotiate a peace between her and Turkey.
The remaining articles guarantee the integrity of the respective dominions of Russia and France, and stipulate the exchange of prisoners, the re-establishment of commerce, and other matters of course.
This treaty was laid before the French Senate at Paris on the 24th ultimo.
The treaty of peace and amity between France and Prussia, humbles the latter power to the state of a dependent province. It was supposed that the interference of the emperor of Russia would have obtained conditions for her of a different complexion. The articles of the treaty proves the reverse. She has fallen the miserable dupe of British policy, unaided and despised by the author of her ruin. She looses all the extensive and fertile country between the Rhine and the Elbe, including the important fortress of Magdeburg, and a great part of the Duchy, which secures to France the command of the important navigation of the Elbe. The confiscated territories of Prussia are to be given to such persons as the conqueror shall determine; he has already declared his pleasure, and allotted the greater part to his brother Jerome, whom the king of Prussia was obliged to recognize in the character of king of Westphalia. Besides the valuable city of Dantzick, situated at the mouth of the Vistula, the looses, with the exception of a narrow district, all her possessions so unjustly acquired in Poland.
The dominions are consigned to the care of one of Bonaparte's kings, the late Elector of Saxony, under the name of the Duchy of Warsaw. Finally, to fix and secure the humiliation of the infatuated Frederick, thus placed under the immediate control and inspection of his enemies, the King of Saxony is to have a free passage for his troops through the kingdom of Prussia at all times to his new possessions in Poland. All the ports of Prussia are to be shut against England during the war. Dantzick is likewise included in these restrictions. Part of the Prussian dominions in Poland are given to the Emperor of Russia, under the denomination of cessions from the new Duchy of Warsaw. Hostilities be-
between France and Sweden will soon terminate—The principal force of the latter is cooped up in Stralsund—The French General Brune has orders to take the works by storm. It is the intention of France to drive the Swedes entirely from Pomerania, and to exclude the King of Sweden from all interference with the affairs of Germany. The British expedition to the North will be of no service to the Swedes—It may end, however, in taking possession of the Danish navy. The peace of Europe is to be decided on the shores of the Baltic. Private letters state, that with respect to Turkey, the Grand Seigneur is to be confined to his Asiatic possessions, and that European Turkey is to be equally divided between Russia and France. They further report, that it has been agreed between Napoleon and Alexander, that the former shall assume the title of "Emperor of the West," and the latter, that of "Emperor of the East."
[Public Advertiser.]
We have had numerous arrivals from the Baltic, in all our principal ports; but we have not been able to ascertain from them the destination of the powerful British expeditions which were bending their course to the North. We have seen several Captains of vessels which passed through detachments of the expeditions, who could not learn their object, but who observed the ships were crowded with troops. An opinion prevailed at Copenhagen, they were destined to assist the Swedes in Pomerania; but as a great part of the force sailed from England after it was ascertained there that Peace had been concluded between France, Russia and Prussia, we are led to believe, that the intent towards Stralsund was a mere stratagem to divert attention from the real destination of the main armada. Probably that destination is Denmark; and the object the possession of the strong fortresses which command the passage of the Sound; as a measure of precaution against their falling into the hands, or under the influence of the French; and the English be thereby excluded from the important commerce of the East seas. These fortresses can be attacked on the land side, while the ships of war are cannonading it by sea. And should they fall into the hands of the English, squadrons can be placed in such situations between Pomerania and the Danish isles, and in the Great and Little Belts, as will effectually prevent Bonaparte from sending any of his invincibles to retake them. The Danes, it is allowed, are a brave people; but our informants say, they were not in a state of preparation for immediate war; and were not in expectation of any attack from the English.
The possession of Elsinore, and other forts which command the Sound, if effected, would be a very important acquisition to Great-Britain, should she continue the war single-handed: And that such is the object of her Northern expeditions may be inferred from the period of their departure from England, and the great force employed in them. The fleet consisted of twenty-three or four sail of the line, with numerous frigates, bomb-vessels &c. The troops embarked, besides the whole German Legion, rated at 13,000, comprised sixteen regiments of the line (the 3d, 4th, 7th, 8th, 23d, 28th, 32d, 42d, 43d, 50th, 52d, 60th, 79th, 82d, 91st, and 92d) besides a brigade of guards, 2500 strong, a rifle corps, and 1000 artillery. These troops are commanded by some of her Generals who have seen much service in Egypt, &c.
[Boston Centinel.]
We learn by a gentleman from Richmond, that the jury summoned on the trial of BURR for Misdemeanor, was sworn on Wednesday the 9th, and that two of the witnesses were examined—when a motion was made to arrest the evidence! The express sent by Mr. Hay, had returned from Monticello, with the President's answer, that certain parts of the letter desired by Burr, were confidential, and could not be disclosed.
[Petersburg Intelligencer.]
As Col. Burr is acquitted, and that upon the opinion of the court, we beg the public will bear in mind the following expressions of Mr. Hay in his preliminary speech:
"If, however, they do undertake this task, if they do contend that an assemblage of men with a traitorous design is not sufficient, but that hostilities must be commenced, actual violence must be used before treason is complete, the constitution is a dead letter. No man can be pronounced to be a traitor, until he has, by striking a blow, shown that he is, or conceives himself to be out of the reach of the law. The case, then, presents a question of force alone, and it is a matter of no consequence, what the definition of treason shall be, until it is decided by arms what side shall pronounce it."
The Richmond Enquirer of the 5th inst. contains the extraordinary decision of Chief Justice Marshall, on the case of Burr's treason—and the equally extraordinary decision on the letter of Gen. Wilkinson to the President, unfolding the treasonable design.
After the countenance which treason and traitors have experienced in courts, instituted for public safety and for the ends of justice only—the people have now to consider whether the existing judiciary system and the English common law, are exactly calculated for a free nation and a virtuous people.
[Aurora.]
It is curious enough to see our federal editors, like a set of stock jobbers on the London 'Change, grasp eagerly at the talk of the English ministers, and console themselves with it. Do these political briggs forget that British policy is like a camaleon; always changing its aspect? The present ministry may make warm professions of friendship for the United States; but in a little time, if it should suit the British aristocracy better, the king can throw one set of ministers off, like a pair of old shoes, and bring others in, who may entirely change the scene. Let us see British naval officers respect our laws and jurisdiction, and then we may believe that government to be in earnest. Remember the attack on the Spanish frigates; and the treachery exhibited towards the Porte.

The wife of Dessalines , the black Ex-Emperor of Hayti , with a numerous suite, has arrived in Wilmington, from Hayti.
The Spanish Governor of Montevideo , and suite, have arrived in England as prisoners of war.
The 5th regiment of Maryland militia, being one of the four contained in the city of Baltimore; consisting of 761 men, and commanded by Col. John Striker, have volunteered their services to the executive of that state, as a part of the quota required by the general government.
The editor of the Baltimore evening Post observes—"If the people of the other parts of Maryland don't take care and use great exertions, Baltimore city and county, by their volunteers, will prevent any of them from forming a part of the militia, to be organized in obedience to the requisition of the President of the United States."
The second company of Light Infantry in the 18th Regiment of Militia in New Hampshire, formed in the town of Epsom, under the command of S. A. HEATH, have volunteered their services to government.

GAOL AND COLLEGE.
A SOLILOQUY.
How can it be? but I have knowledge, I've been to gaol and been to college. 'Tis hard to say which is the best— With poverty they're both oppress'd. One, diplomatic knowledge teach, In physe, law, and how to preach. The other teaches sheriff's fees, Gaoler's bounty, which are turn-keys. The one does teach in composition, And eloquence in all conditions. The other teaches narrow borders; To patient wait for further orders. The one does teach in trope and figure, And taught forsooth my tutor rigour. The other teaches great submission, To acquiesce in my condition. The one does teach a mighty science, To high degree, a due compliance. The other teaches Fieri Facias, Is quick to snap, and quite tenacious. The one does teach how grammar schools Can latinize all rustic fools. The other serves for looking-glass, To shew how men for money pass— For surely when the merchant breaks The sheriff quick his body takes, And if he's neither cast nor bail, He pays his debts by going to gaol. The one does teach how I must speak, With hat in hand, and look so meek. The other teaches how poor debtors Must haughty rascals own for better. Degraded thought! rouse each poetic fire, And guide my pen to strike the mules' lyre; Descend ye gods! my soul with raptures fill, And on my brow thy heavenly dews distil. Has nature's laws with partial hands so given Her earthly gems to those despised by heaven.
Bears.—Bears are uncommonly numerous in the vicinity of Bucklebury (Me.) and have committed great depredations among cattle, &c.—Upwards of thirty of these ravenous beasts of the wilderness have lately been caught in that town.
Burr.—Burr's trial for a misdemeanor has commenced at Richmond—we trust that this trial will not turn out to be the second act of Gaylord Griswold's judiciary farce.
ANECDOE.—The daughter of Theophilus, had two lovers,—the one a coxcomb, the other an honest man. The first was rich, the second poor. He took the honest man for his son-in-law;—For I had rather, said he, have a man that wants wealth, than wealth that wants a man!
MARRIED.—In this town, Mr. Nathan Neal, to Miss Abigail Trafton.

WASHINGTON, SEPT. 2.
Yesterday a few minutes past noon, intelligence was received at the Navy Yard, in this city, of the death of the gallant Commodore EDWARD PREBLE, of the United States Navy. Immediately, in commemoration of the loss sustained by the death of this valuable officer, the flags of the frigates in ordinary, and at the Marine Garrison, were struck half mast; at half past noon one gun was fired at the Navy Yard, which was repeated every half hour, till half past 5 o'clock when the firing was repeated every five minutes, till 17 minutes before sunset—at which time commenced a discharge of 17 minute guns; when, with the departing sun, the colours were struck, amidst the sincere regret of his brother officers. In the death of the brave and intelligent PREBLE, this country has sustained a great—we hope, particularly in the present crisis of our affairs, not an irreparable loss.
