Twenty-five Dollars Reward.
ANY, sometime in the months of November or December last, A NEGRO MAN by the name of SAM, who was hired in the town of Alexandria to a Mr. Robert Smith. He was about 30 years of age, about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, very stout, of rather a yellowish or tawny complexion, stutters a little, has a soft voice, and generally seems humble and timid when spoken to. He had a wife at Col. Jemerson's, in the county of Caroline, and may perhaps now be lurking in that neighborhood, but I think it more probable he may have gone to the state of Maryland.—If he is taken in the state of Virginia and brought to me I will give the above reward; if in the state of Maryland and brought to me I will give Twenty-five Dollars reward.

TRIAL
OF COLONEL A. BURR.
(Continued by adjournment and held at the Capitol in the Hall of the House of Delegates,) for High Treason against the U. States.
OPINION
Of the Court on the motion to arrest the evidence. Delivered on
MONDAY, August 31.
[CONTINUED.]
Hale in treating on the same subject puts many cases which shall constitute a levying of war, without which no act can amount to treason, but he does not particularize the parts to be performed by the different persons concerned in that war, which shall be sufficient to fix on each the guilt of levying it.
Foster says "the joining with rebels in an act of rebellion, or with enemies in acts of hostility will make a man a traitor." "Furnishing rebels or enemies with money, arms, ammunition or other necessaries will prima facie make a man a traitor."
Foster does not say that he would be a traitor under the words of the statute independent of the legal rule which attaches the guilt of the principal to an accessory, nor that his treason is occasioned by that rule. In England this discrimination need not be made except for the purpose of framing the indictment, and therefore in the English books we do not perceive any effort to make it. Thus surrendering a castle to rebels, being in confederacy with them is said by Hale and Foster to be treason under the clause of levying war, but whether it be levying war in fact, or aiding those who levy it is not said. Upon this point Blackstone is not more satisfactory. Although we may find among the commentators upon treason enough to satisfy the enquiry, what is a state of internal war? Yet no precise information can be acquired from them which would enable us to decide with clearness whether persons not in arms but taking part in a rebellion, could be said to levy war, independent of that doctrine which attaches to the accessory the guilt of his principal.
If in adjudged cases this question has been taken up and directly decided, the court has not seen those cases. The arguments which may be drawn from the form of the indictment, though strong, is not conclusive. In the precedent found in Tremaine, Mary Spoke who was indicted for furnishing provisions to the Duke of Monmouth, is indicted for furnishing provisions to those who were levying war, not for levying war herself. It may correctly be argued, that had this act amounted to levying war, she would have been indicted for levying war, and the furnishing of provisions would have been laid as the overt act. The court felt this when the precedent was produced. But the argument, though strong, is not conclusive, because in England, the enquiry whether she had become a traitor by levying war, or by giving aid and comfort to those who were levying war, was unimportant, and because too it does not appear from the indictment that she was actually concerned in the rebellion, that she belonged to the rebel party, or was guilty of any thing further than a criminal speculation in selling them provisions.
It is not deemed necessary to trace the doctrine that in treason all are principals to its source. Its origin is most probably stated correctly by Judge Tucker, in a work, the merit of which is with pleasure acknowledged. But if a spurious doctrine has been introduced into the common law, and has for centuries been admitted as genuine, it would require great hardihood in a judge to reject it. Accordingly, we find those of the English jurists who seem to disapprove the principle, declaring that it is now too firmly settled to be shaken.
It is unnecessary to trace this doctrine to its source for another reason. The terms of the constitution comprise no question respecting the principal and accessory, so far as either may be said to be truly and in fact said to levy war: Whether in England a person would be indicted in express terms for levying war, or for assisting others in levying war, yet if in correct and legal language he can be said to have levied war, and if it has never been decided that the act would not amount to levying war, his case may without violent construction be brought within the letter and the plain meaning of the constitution.
In examining these words the argument which may be drawn from felonies, as for example, from murder, is not more conclusive. Murder is the single act of killing with malice aforethought. But war is a complex operation composed of many parts, co-operating with each other. No one man or body of men can perform them all if the war be of any continuance. Although then in correct and in law language
he alone is said to have murdered another who has perpetrated the fact of killing, or has been present aiding that fact, it does not follow that he alone can have levied war who has borne arms. All those who perform the various and essential military parts of prosecuting the war which must be assigned to different persons, may with correctness and accuracy be said to levy war.
Taking this view of the subject, it appears to the court that those who perform a part in the prosecution of the war may correctly be said to levy war and to commit treason under the constitution. It will be observed, that this opinion does not extend to the case of a person who performs no act in the prosecution of the war, who counsels and advises it, or who being engaged in the conspiracy fails to perform his part. Whether such persons may be implicated by the doctrine, that whatever would make a man an accessory in felony makes him a principal in treason, or are excluded, because that doctrine is inapplicable to the United States, the constitution having declared that treason shall consist only in levying war, and having made the proof of overt acts necessary to conviction, is a question of vast importance which it would be proper for the supreme court to take a fit occasion to decide, but which an inferior tribunal would not willingly determine unless the case before them should require it.
It may now be proper to notice the opinion of the supreme court in the case of the U. S. against Bollman and Swartwout. It is said that this opinion, in declaring that those who do not bear arms may yet be guilty of treason, is contrary to law, and is not obligatory because it is extra-judicial, and was delivered on a point not argued. This court is therefore required to depart from the principle there laid down.
It is true, that in that case after forming the opinion that no treason could be committed, because no treasonable assemblage had taken place, the court might have dispensed with proceeding further in the doctrines of treason. But it is to be remembered, that the judges might act separately, and perhaps at the same time, on the various prosecutions which might be instituted, and that no appeal lay from their decisions. Opposite judgments on the point would have presented a state of things infinitely to be deplored by all. It was not surprising then that they should have made some attempt to settle principles which probably would occur, and which were in some degree connected with the point before them.
The court had employed some reasoning to show that without the actual embodying of men war could not be levied. It might have been inferred from this that those only who were so embodied could be guilty of treason. Not only to exclude this inference, but also to affirm the contrary, the court proceeded to observe, "It is not the intention of the court to say that no individual can be guilty of this crime who has not appeared in arms against his country. On the contrary, if war be actually levied, that is, if a body of men be actually assembled for the purpose of effecting by force a treasonable object, all those who perform any part however minute, or however remote from the scene of action, and who were actually leagued in the general conspiracy, are to be considered as traitors."
This court is told that if this opinion be incorrect it ought not to be obeyed because it was extra-judicial. For myself, I can say that I could not lightly be prevailed on to disobey it, were I even convinced that it was erroneous, but I would certainly use any means which the law placed in my power to carry the question again before the supreme court, for re-consideration, in a case in which it would directly occur and be fully argued.
The court which gave this opinion was composed of 5 judges. At the time I thought them unanimous, but I have since had reason to suspect that one of them whose opinion is entitled to great respect, and whose indisposition prevented his entering into the discussion, on some of those points which were not essential to the decision of the very case under consideration, did not concur in this particular point with his brethren. Had the opinion been unanimous it would have been given by a majority of the judges. But should the three who were absent concur with that judge who was present, and who perhaps, dissents from what was then the opinion of the court, a majority of the judges may overrule this decision. I should therefore feel no objection although I then thought and still think the opinion perfectly correct, to carry the point if possible again before
the supreme court, if the case should depend upon it.
In saying that I still think the opinion perfectly correct, I do not consider myself as going further than the preceding reasoning goes. Some gentlemen have argued as if the supreme court had adopted the whole doctrine of the English books on the subject of accessories to treason.
But such is certainly not the fact. Those only who perform a part, and who are leagued in the conspiracy are declared to be traitors. To complete the description both circumstances must concur. They must 'perform a part' which will furnish the overt act, and they must be "leagued in the conspiracy." The person who comes within this description in the opinion of the court levies war. The present motion however does not rest upon this point; for if under this indictment the United States might be let in to prove the part performed by the prisoner, if he did perform any part, the court could not stop the testimony in its present stage.
Second. The second point involves the character of the overt act which has been given in evidence, and calls upon the court to declare whether the act can amount to levying war. Although the court ought now to avoid any analysis of the testimony which has been offered in this case provided the decision of the motion should not rest upon it, yet many reasons concur in giving a peculiar propriety to a delivery in the course of these trials, of a detailed opinion on the question what is levying war? As this question has been argued at great length, it may probably save much trouble to the counsel now to give that opinion.
(To be continued.)
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
BOSTON, September 5.
News from Europe, Highly Important & the Latest.
After our paper went to press last night, we were politely favored, by the hand of David Hinckly, Esquire, with London papers up to the 31st of July, and a Liverpool paper of Aug. 1, 1807, brought by him, in the ship Sally Ann, capt. Glover, who arrived here last evening 32 days from Liverpool.
The Sylvia cutter, from Halifax, arrived at Portsmouth, 25th July, with dispatches, from Ad. Berkely, respecting the affair of the Chesapeake; and which reached London the 26th (or 27th):—Their contents were communicated by Mr. Canning to Mr. Munroe; and some friendly notes, it is said passed between them. There was a general embargo from the 23d to the 31st July, to procure seamen; but the Wasp was released. It is said, at the particular instance of Mr. Munroe, and sailed the 29th, as the papers report, for this country, with provisional arrangements which have been agreed upon between Mr. Munroe and the British government, with a view of preventing a rupture between the two countries: We however, learn, verbally, that some thought she was bound to the Mediterranean. American news paper and letter accounts have been published: The sensation which the news of the attack on the Chesapeake and the reported feelings of the American public made on the English nation was great. The manufacturers and merchants, and the Americans, were much alarmed; American credits were stopped; War was supposed by some inevitable; and even privateers were preparing: But Mr. Canning had assured the committees that it would not alter the situation of things between the two countries; and the chancellor of the exchequer, in the House of Commons, said the British government would not fail to make any atonement or reparation, which should appear due on the occasion. The English papers generally condemned Berkely; and it is said he is to be recalled.
LONDON, July 29.
The terms of the treaty of peace have not transpired officially, but it would seem as if no intention were entertained of wresting Silesia from the king of Prussia.
ALTONA, July 22.
The following, says a private letter, you may depend upon it, is the substance of the conditions of the treaties between France and Russia and Prussia:
"Russia will not lose any thing, and no cessions are demanded from Austria."
"There is to be no kingdom in Poland; but Warsaw, and a district round it of 50
or 60 miles, is to be elected into a duchy. Jerome Bonaparte is spoken of as the duke."
"Prussia is to lose all her territories on this side the Elbe; and Westphalia and Hanover will, it is supposed, be created into a kingdom, of which Jerome Bonaparte will be king, as well as duke of Prussia."
"Dantzic is to be a free Hanse Town."
DRESDEN, July 15. Prince Jerome is expected here the day from Silesia, and the celebrated royal palace in this place is fitted up for his reception. His royal majesty leaves his capital to-morrow to meet the emperor Napoleon at Budessin. Besides the French emperor, the emperor of Russia, the king of Bavaria, and other princes, are also expected here. According to other accounts the emperor of Russia is gone to Petersburg. Our town will be very brilliant.
[Private Letter.]
The following are said to be the fundamental stipulations of the peace concluded between Russia and France:
 1. The boundaries of the Duchy of Warsaw shall be determined as well as  2. That of the territory of the Free Hanse Towns of Dantzic; the latter are to be marked two miles round the Town by French, Dantzic, Savonjan, and Prussian arms.  3. The boundaries of the kingdom of Westphalia shall be evacuated.  4. Tilsit shall be evacuated by the French troops on the 20th July and  5. Koningsburg the 25th July.  6. Before the 1st August, East Prussia, as far as the Passarge.  7. Before the 20th, as far as the Vistula.  8. Before the 5th of Sept. as far as the Oder; and,  9. All other royal Prussian dominions, as far as the Oder, as well as Silesia, by the 1st October.  10. The Province of Magdeburgh on the right of the Elbe, Pasewald, and Prenzlow, shall not be evacuated until the 1st November.  11. With regard to Stettin, the time of its evacuation it shall be determined by the plenipotentiaries; until the evacuation it shall be occupied by 6000 French troops.  12. Spandau, Castrian, all the fortresses in Silesia shall be surrendered to the Prussians on the 1st October.  All other points yet to be arranged shall be settled by the plenipotentiaries to be appointed by both contracting parties, who are to meet at Berlin, on the 25th of July. The revenue of the Prussian dominions is to be for account of his Prussian majesty from the 13th of July, on condition that the contribution demanded be paid to the French.
NUREMBERG, July 19.
There is talk of a confederation of the North to be established under the protection of Russia: of the indemnification of several German princes in the North; of the extension of the confederation of the Rhine to the Elbe, &c. It is said also that the kingdom of Poland will be re-established and given to a French Prince; and that Russia will engage to renounce forever all authority over Moldavia, Wallachia, and several other neighboring Turkish provinces.
BANKS OF THE MAINE, July 14.
We learn that the French will not leave Germany till a peace shall have been concluded with England.
WARSAW, July 13.
All the persons in the train of the prince of Benevento (M. Talleyrand) have left this city for Dresden, where it is said a congress will be held for the conclusion of a general peace. This report, however, requires confirmation.
MAGDEBURG, July 16.
A courier who has passed through this city with the utmost speed, carries orders to Paris to prepare every thing for the reception of his majesty the emperor, who expects to arrive there on the 1st of August, his imperial majesty has left Tilsit, and is going to Dresden where he is expected.
MALTSZOW, July 17.
The French are before the gates of Stralsund: marshal Brune's head quarters are here. The king of Sweden has proposed an armistice, in order to negotiate a peace, but received for answer, that the proposal cannot be acceded to unless a guarantee be given, and the guarantee must be Stralsund.

LONDON ARTICLES.
July 26.
Bonaparte is stated to have arrived at Koningsberg on the 11th, from whence he was to proceed to Berlin, and thence by way of Dresden and Meitz to Paris. The emperor Alexander and the king of Prussia remained at Tilsit, but it is added, that both monarchs had promised to visit Na...
The French are stated to have lost between 30 and 40,000 men in the battle of Friedland. Austria, it is said, has been called upon tocede the two Gallicias: and it is reported that the grand duke Constantine is to be established in Poland. Peace was signed at Tilsit on the 8th inst. between the emperor of the French & the emperor of Russia.
The treaty of peace between France and Prussia was signed on the 9th July, and ratified the following day.
July 27.
About noon yesterday the fleet assembled in Yarmouth roads, and supposed to be intended for the Baltic got under weigh. The troops which are already embarked on board, amount to at least 20,000 men. The force already in the Baltic amounts to 10 or 12,000.
July 30.
An American schooner with dispatches from the U. S. relative to the Chesapeake, is said to have arrived at Portsmouth yesterday.
July 31.
Considerable sensation was excited yesterday by a report that the emperor Alexander had received the order of the French Legion of honor.
The grand duke Constantine, prince Kurakin, and gen. Bennigsen, have also been presented with the insignia of Bonaparte's order.
The embargo which was laid on for eight days for the purpose of obtaining seamen, was taken off this morning in the port of London. We should suppose, from this, that the expedition had sailed.
Lord Cathcart passed the Sound on the fourteenth, and proceeded directly to Stralsund.
Some of the German papers state, that the emperor of Russia is gone back to Petersburg. The king of Sweden, is said to have applied for an armistice, and to have expressed a desire to enter into negotiations for peace; but Bonaparte replied that he must have a guarantee, and that guarantee must be the placing Stralsund in his hands. The French are under the walls of Stralsund.
There are reports of a confederation in the north, and of the extension of the Rhenish confederacy to the Elbe.
An engagement has taken place between the Russian and Turkish squadrons off the island of Tenedos; and we suspect to the disadvantage of the latter.
It is reported, that a successor to the honorable admiral Berkley, will immediately set out to the American station. He, however, is to take with him a formidable augmentation to our naval force on that station.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
July 27.
Mr. Whitbread wished to ask the right honorable the chancellor of the exchequer, a question touching the melancholy account this day received in town, respecting the capture of the American frigate Chesapeake, which excited such general and regretful sensation in the metropolis. whether any accounts had been received by his majesty's government relative to that transaction? Whether it was with the privity or authority of our government at home, and if it was intended to lay before the house any communication upon the subject.
The chancellor of the exchequer answered, "with respect to the question relative to what he too considered a melancholy event, the capture of the American frigate Chesapeake by a British cruiser, he could say as one of his majesty's ministers, that he was not informed of any of the particulars of that transaction, farther than by common rumour. His majesty's government however, would leave no means unresorted to learn the particulars of that lamentable event, and to whom the blame was justly imputed; nor should they hesitate to make any atonement and reparation in their power that on fair inquiry should appear to be due on the occasion."
LIVERPOOL, Aug. 1, 1807. The intelligence received this week from the coast of America, has excited a great degree of agitation in all parts of the nation, and especially in the commercial
towns. It is certain that no accident could be more perverse or ill-timed. At all events it may tend to bring to a speedy decision the existing dispute on which the two nations are now at issue. The right of search is supposed to be the great stumbling block which caused the rejection of the treaty by Mr. Jefferson, and it is a point on which the two nations are supposed to be equally pertinacious.
Some hopes are now entertained that this affair will not inevitably lead to hostility. If captain Humphrey's proceeded on the positive instructions of our government, we should despair of seeing the dispute amicably accommodated; but it is clear from the expressions of Mr. Perceval in the house of commons that this was not the case.
COPENHAGEN, June 23.
On the 21st the first intelligence was received at Elsinore of several ships having been lost in the North Seas, in the last week but one. The Swedish mail arrived yesterday has brought the further particulars, according to which an English ship of war has been totally lost, with several transports, which had cavalry on board, near Stormstadt. From six to seven hundred dead bodies, horses, &c. are said to have been washed on shore; and an East-Indiaman belonging to a house of trade of this place, also foundered in the storm, and every soul on board perished. Her name is the Charlotte, captain Muller.
LEXINGTON, (Ken.) Aug. 25. Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Fort Massac, to the Editor, dated August 7, 1807.
"A few days since, a person arrived here, and informed the commanding officer of this place, that about ten days ago there were a number of persons murdered, at Wilkinsonville, and their property taken by the Cherokee Indians."
"I lodged at Wilkinsonville on the night of the 5th instant, where I found a large number of Indians of different tribes, all very drunk and troublesome. It appears to me, from every thing I can find out, that the above information is correct. I shall make further inquiry into the business, as I intend to return to Wilkinsonville in three or four days, in order to make some discovery if possible."

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11.
The Leonidas, and the George, were left at Liverpool by the Sally-Ann, in 32 days from thence, to sail for this port in all August.
The following are the speculations of the Paris Argus on the battle of Friedland:
"It is not for us to endeavor to penetrate into the consequences of a day so fertile in political results as that of the battle of Friedland; but whatever may be the ideas of that genius which has doubtless already conceived them, it is no longer in the power of his enemies to prevent them. The ascendancy of the confederacy formed under the auspices of France is henceforward incontrovertible. Be the determination of the emperor Napoleon what it will, he is able to raise an insurmountable barrier against the projects of Russian ambition. He possesses all the means of effecting the changes necessary for the repose of Europe, and generously to indemnify the sovereigns who sincerely wish to accelerate that happy period. The victory of Friedland is the denouement of that political tragedy so often renewed against France by England. The British government has irrecoverably lost the blood-stained clue of coalitions."
The most important consequence of this battle is, perhaps, the complete dissipation of that imaginary military glory which rendered the Russians formidable to all nations. The fall of the Hyperborean Colossus will resound to the extremities of the north. It will be heard by the Persians; the Turks will reply to it with shouts of joy and victory: and if it were possible for them to obtain any transient successes in those quarters, they would only expose themselves to an immediate repetition of that dreadful lesson which they have just received from the French."
England is struck with the same blow which falls so heavily upon Russia. All intelligent persons foresee the consequence, and we shall soon have occasion to recur particularly to this important subject."

Disinterested Advice.—The late Dr. Darwin, one day at Nottingham, assembled a large crowd of people around him and thus addressed himself to them: "Ye men of Nottingham, listen to me! You are ingenious and industrious mechanics. By your industry, life's comforts are procured for yourselves and families. If you lose your health, the power of being industrious will forsake you. That you know; but you do not know, that to breathe fresh and charged air constantly, is not less necessary to preserve health than sobriety itself. Air becomes unwholesome in a few hours, if the windows are shut. Open those of your sleeping rooms whenever you quit them to go to your workshops. Keep the windows of your workshops open whenever the weather is not unsupportably cold. I have no interest in giving you this advice remember what I, your countryman, and a physician, tell you. If you would not bring infection & disease upon yourselves, and to your wives and little ones, change the air you breathe, and change it many times a day, by opening your windows."
