No intelligence of importance is announced in these papers. We have translated from them the 70th Bulletin of the Grand Army; the remainder of our selections is made from the Paris Argus.
PARIS, 19th April.
GRAND ARMY. Seventieth Bulletin.
Finckenstein, 9th April.
A party of 400 Prussians, who had embarked at Koningsberg, has debarked on the peninsula opposite Pilau, and advanced towards the village of Carlsberg. M. Misinguerneud, aid-de-camp to marshal Lefebvre, proceeded for the point with some men. He has so ably manoeuvred as to carry off the 400 Prussians, amongst whom were 120 cavalry.
Several Russian regiments have entered the city of Dantzig by water. The garrison has made several sorties. The Polish legion of the North and prince Michel Radzivil who commands it have distinguished themselves. They have made about 40 of the Russians prisoners. The siege is continued with vigor. The artillery for it has begun to arrive.
There is nothing new at the different points of the army.
The emperor has returned from an incursion he has made to Marienwerder, and to the tete de pont on the Vistula. He has reviewed the 12th regiment of light infantry, and the gendarmes d'ordonnance .
The ground, the lakes, of which the country is full, and the small rivers, have begun to thaw. There is not, however, the smallest appearance of vegetation.
BERLIN, April 14.
In order to be nearer the fortresses of Graudentz and Dantzig, the siege of which is to be carried on with new vigor, and for the purpose of protecting the corps who invest those places, the grand army has taken the following position:
The prince of Ponte Corvo occupies Braunberg, Elbing and Holland; his line of operations extends along the Passarge, to the mouth of that river. Marshal Soult is posted at Arbstadt and its vicinity, he guards also the Passarge. Marshal Ney occupies Gussadt and the environs; his line of operations is the Alle; he has behind him the upper part of the Passarge.
Marshal Davoust's headquarters are at Deiterswald, a large village situated on the Passarge; one of his divisions occupies the upper part of the Alle and the little town of Allenstein, which has been put in a state of defence—another division is posted at Hohenstein and in its vicinity. Marshal Massena is at Pultusk; his division has received considerable reinforcements, and is one of the most numerous.
Between the marshals Massena and Davoust is a corps of Polish cavalry, who have already proved on different occasions, that they have not degenerated from their ancestors. The besieging corps, around whom the grand army forms a semi-circle, is in a great measure composed of Polish, Badene, Hessians, and other confederated troops. The grand depot of the army is at Thorn; the principal hospitals are at Gilgenbourg, Malwa, &c. The Russians are at Ortelsbourg, Pastenheim, Mehlack, Konigsburg, &c.
MUNICH, April 17.
Considerable advantages are reported to have been obtained by the Turks and Persians over the Russians. Gen. Michelson it is said has been driven from Wallachia by Mustapha Bayractor, who has made eight hundred prisoners. On another side the Turks have entered the Crimea, and the Persians are seizing the most important passages of the Caucasus.
NANCY, April 12.
We wait with impatience for the news of peace or of a great battle; every thing is ready; a single look of the emperor will determine. We are informed that the Russians have divided their army into 3 grand divisions; one will be commanded by the king of Prussia, the centre by prince Constantin, and the right wing by Beningsen.

VIENNA, April 11.
This day's Court Gazette contains some intelligence from Turkey. The Russian general Mayendorff has received reinforcements both of men and cannon, and has drawn near Ismail, in order to form the siege of it, but without having the more intimidated the Turkish garrison. Gen. Michelson asks for reinforcements; the garrisons of the Crimea are drawing off to be sent to him.
Other intelligence direct from Constantinople, mention that the courts of Morocco, Algiers and Tunis have issued orders to their corsairs, to capture all Russian and English vessels.
April 12.
The rumors which were afloat that the English squadron had again passed the Straights of the Dardanelles, & was in the sea of the Marmora, appear entirely void of foundation. The last letters arrived from that capital make no mention of it; they speak only of the vigorous preparations which the Porte is making to assume the offensive against the army of Michelson. Troops arrive in great numbers from Asia, and are sent forward towards the army, of which the grand vizier must by this time have taken the command—Every thing announces that the campaign will very shortly open.
The garrison of Ismail is numerous, well provided and determined to defend itself to the last extremity. The Russians to whom the possession of that place would be of the greatest importance, appear desirous of hastening the siege of it, before the Turkish army can put itself in movement to secure it. They have relinquished all attack against Gieurgewo.
The impediments which the English throw in the way of our trade and the navigation of our ships in the Adriatic, having excited the attention of government, it is asserted that very serious representations have been made upon this subject to the British cabinet, & that several conferences have been held upon it between count Stadion and Mr. Adair, the English ambassador.

TRIAL
OF COL. AARON BURR.
Circuit Court of the United States for the Fifth Circuit and District of Virginia.
Present JOHN MARSHALL, chief Justice of the United States, And CYRUS GRIFFIN, judge of the district of Virginia.
MONDAY June 15.
Gen. Wilkinson was sworn and sent in to the grand jury.
Mr. Hay began by requesting the court to instruct as to the proper form of oath which should be administered to the grand jury. That if the oath which had been administered was not sufficient, that the witnesses should be sworn over again.
Mr. Botts had no objection to the oath. Mr. Hay then informed the court that there were four indictments before the grand jury, two against col. Burr, and two against Mr. Blannerhassé; one against each for high treason, and one for a misdemeanor.
Mr. Wickham moved the court that no papers which were not authenticated should be sent up to the grand jury. He wished solely for the opinion of the court on this subject.
Mr. Hay hoped the court would not agree to the motion, on a mere suggestion
of the counsel. That it was very probable gen. Wilkinson might during his evidence have occasion to lay before the grand jury several papers of importance, particularly those of correspondence on the subject then in question. That it was the duty of gen. Wilkinson to lay before the grand jury such papers, and he certainly would do so.—Mr. Hay had no objection however, the court would communicate to the grand jury, either by word or writing, their opinion.
Mr. Botts replied. He said he understood on a former day that no papers were to go before the court, but those which were properly authenticated.
Mr. Hay answered, that he had agreed to this before the arrival of general Wilkinson. That he himself would send no improper papers before the grand jury; but that general Wilkinson perhaps was possessed of many papers on this important subject. That very probably general Wilkinson had those papers in his pocket. That he could not answer for what papers general Wilkinson might lay before the grand jury; but that he should pledge himself not to lay any unauthenticated papers before them. He hoped therefore Mr. Botts would withdraw his expression of surprise.
Mr. Botts replied he would not. That he was fully satisfied with the purity of Mr. Hay's intentions. That he knew too well his integrity to suppose he knowingly would act improperly. But that on the present point as well as on many others which have occurred during the course of the present proceedings they had differed, without any improper design on either party. If Mr. Hay himself was before the grand jury he could entertain no suspicions of any improper papers being laid before them; but that general Wilkinson not having the same knowledge of law, might offer to the inspection of the grand jury several improper documents. He asked only for such an instruction on this point from the court as had been given on a former occasion by one of the most celebrated judges on the American bench. He then read the opinion of judge Gripp of South Carolina, on this important question.
Mr. Wirt said as the opinion was quite a new one, he hoped the indulgence of the court for a little consideration.
Court. "Certainly," sir.
Mr. Luther Martin said there was no question but general Wilkinson might have occasion to refresh his memory by recourse to letters or papers. He had no objection to this; only that no unauthenticated papers should be submitted to the grand jury.
Mr. Hay said he was with general Wilkinson yesterday, and he saw a large volume of papers before him. He did not know what these papers were, or whether or not he meant to lay them before the grand jury. Mr. Hay observed that he said on a former occasion he did not intend to advocate or defend gen. Wilkinson. That a vast deal had been said both for and against him. That from the conversation he had with him yesterday, he was perfectly satisfied with the correctness of his conduct. Mr. Hay had not the smallest objection to the proposition of Mr. Wickham, that the court should give what instructions they might think proper to the grand jury, with particular restrictions and qualifications that any witness might produce such papers as he himself could authenticate.
Mr. Martin said the gentleman was very willing to undertake the defence of general Wilkinson, but he would be permitted to say he could undertake a very Herculean favor.
Mr. Wirt after commenting on the opinion of judge Gripp, said that judge Gripp only alluded to papers not in the possession of the witnesses who might come before the grand jury, but letters or affidavits of deceased persons. He asked the court if it would not be highly proper that general Wilkinson should have the privilege of submitting to the grand jury whatever papers that might illustrate the statement he would give. Mr. Wirt said it appeared to him that all the papers in the possession of gen. Wilkinson which might throw a light upon the present transactions, would be the most proper evidence to be submitted to the grand jury.
Mr. Wickham replied, by reverting to the former promise of the public attorney, who seemed now willing to deviate from his promise, by drawing a distinction between the papers which the attorney would submit, and the papers which gen. Wilkinson might think proper to submit. That by this argument any witness might carry up improper papers; which would have the same improper effect upon the minds of the grand jury as if they had been carried up by the attorney himself. Mr. Wickham then mentioned the circumstance of a particular wit-
ness (Mr. Hay himself) who was prevented in the case of judge Chase from refreshing his memory by the reading of particular memorandums.
Mr. Wirt asked the court if he ever stated that a narrative written by a third person would be proper evidence. He denied he ever made such a statement. He only alluded to original letters in the possession of general Wilkinson, which he could substantiate. He did not say what Mr. Wickham had made him say—That he did not wish absurd positions should be put into his mouth.
Mr. Wickham denied having ever put absurd positions into his mouth; but that his argument was absurd, which naturally must lead to absurd positions. He did not say what papers were in gen. Wilkinson's possession were proper or improper. He only meant that neither gen. Wilkinson, or any other witness, should carry up papers that did not previously pass through the hands of the court. The attorney's object however was, that any witness might carry up what papers he pleased, which he should always oppose.
Mr. Hay stated he meant no such thing; he only meant that the witnesses might be allowed to refresh their memories by papers, by looking to notes. He said Mr. Wickham attempted to support his argument by referring to the case of judge Chase—He could not say what was done on that occasion; but he would say what was done was improper and contrary to law. He cited in support of his argument, the case of Hardy and Horne Took in England, where a witness was allowed to refresh his memory in open court by referring to notes.
Mr. Botts replied, in the case of Chase, legal or not, it was decided by the unanimous vote of the senate.
Mr. Hay denied it was so decided.
Mr. Martin affirmed it was.
Mr. Botts proceeded, and detailed in full the circumstances of the case before the senate, the witness in question having been Mr. Hay himself. He afterwards enforced his argument, by stating several improper effects that necessarily would arise were the witnesses at liberty to produce letters and papers to the grand jury, that had not passed through the inspection of the court.
The Court delivered their opinion, that as the grand jury had the privilege of sending for witnesses, they had also a discretionary power of judging of the reception of whatever papers they might offer, if those papers formed a part, or regarded the transactions respecting which the witness was deposing.
Mr. Hay begged to observe to the court that gen. Wilkinson might not only refer to letters directly to himself from the person accused; but all such letters or papers that related to his deposition.
The Court was of opinion that the witness could only resort to letters or facts directly communicated from the accused to the witness.
Mr. Hay answered, by this that all the difficulties could not be obviated. That it was necessary that gen. Wilkinson should vindicate his conduct and all his actions to the grand jury, but he could not do this by the simple production of letters from the accused to him.
The Court adhered to their opinion.
Mr. Wickham said that whenever gen. Wilkinson himself came on trial, he would have no objection to the production of the papers required—But this was not the case at present—Gen. Wilkinson was not on trial, and therefore could not be admitted to produce on the trial of another, papers that referred to himself.
Mr. Wirt supposed it was competent to the grand jury to examine into the competency of any witness, and therefore had a right to see any papers which might satisfy them as to the credibility of any particular witness. They therefore had a right to put any question by which they might be able to procure the fullest satisfaction.
Mr. Martin opposed the doctrine of Mr. Wirt—because by it, any paper whatever might be produced to the grand jury, as being part of the narrative of the witness. That by this latitude which the attorney has taken, every paper in the world might be produced.
Mr. Wickham proposed, that if the grand jury had a difficulty with regard to the admission of any paper, that it should be laid before the court.
Mr. Edmund Randolph hoped that some time should be given to the consideration of the question as being of some importance.
Mr. Wirt detailed several occurrences that took place in the trials of Hardy, Took and Thelwall, particularly the reading of the proceedings of the Edinburgh convention, as being connected with the case before the court.

Mr. Wirt stated that a letter signed Alexander Mitchell was no ways known as being concerned with Hardy and the others.
Mr. Martin said he would suggest to the court the impossibility of going into the argument at present.
Mr. Wickham said that all the authorities mentioned by the attorney, related to accomplishing the king's death. That therefore they were quite inapplicable in the present question. He therefore proposed that the court would direct the jury, when they were at a loss upon any particular point, to submit it to the court.
Mr. Hay attempted to show, that the case of Hardy, &c. was perfectly applicable to the present case. That to show there was a difference, and wherein the distinction lay, no doubt would occupy eight days, as he believed Mr. Martin said.
Mr. Martin interrupted him by saying, he only said one day.
The attendance of Mr. Bollman being required by the grand jury, Mr. Hay moved that Dr. Bollman should be asked to decipher a certain letter found in the possession of Mr. Wyley. This was objected to by the counsel of colonel Burr, who contended that no letters or papers ought to be sent to the grand jury without having passed the court.
The court accordingly drew up certain instructions to the grand jury, which upon being submitted to the counsel on both sides, and undergoing a slight alteration, were sent to the grand jury.
A long and desultory argument afterwards took place, as to the propriety of Mr. Wyley answering certain questions which might be propounded.
Mr. Wyley and his counsel Mr. Williams, contended that giving answers to the questions of the attorney might criminate himself.
The questions proposed were briefly of the following nature. The attorney produced in court a letter partly in cypher and partly written in the Dutch language, which letter was alleged either to have been written by Mr. Wyley from col. Burr's direction, or copied by Mr. Wyley from an original in Burr's hand writing, by col. Burr's order. The attorney therefore wished to interrogate Mr. Wyley on these points. Mr. Williams and Mr. Botts contended that if Mr. Wyley answered these questions, they would either criminate or might tend to criminate him, and advanced several authorities to show that no witness was compelled to answer any question that might have that tendency. Two instances were produced from the law books of Great Britain. One was the case of a witness who was asked whether or not he was a Roman Catholic, and upon refusing to answer the question, the prosecutor appealed to the court, but they were of opinion that answering such a question might have a tendency to criminate the witness; there being severe penal laws in force against persons professing the Roman Catholic religion. The other was the case of a witness who confessed himself to the court in the first instance to be a Roman Catholic; but being afterwards interrogated as to his occupation or trade in life, refused to answer the question, and the court thought it improper to compel him.
Mr. Hay and Mr. McRae contended that although Mr. Wyley had transcribed the letter in cypher, or had written it by col. Burr's direction, yet he was ignorant of the meaning of the cypher, and consequently although it might contain treason, yet having no knowledge of that treason, the writing or the transcribing of it could in no ways criminate him. They therefore proposed that in the first instance he should answer the following question on which they argued had not the smallest tendency to criminate him.
Question. Mr. Wyley, do you know the matter this letter contains?
Upon Mr. Wyley refusing to answer, the court was applied to by the attorney, and a desultory argument took place between Messrs. Wickham, Botts and Williams, on the part of the witness, and Messrs. Hay, Wirt, and McRae, on the part of the prosecution, as to the propriety of the question.
The court were of opinion that Mr. Wyley should answer upon oath whether or not he thought that answering the proposed question might have a tendency to criminate himself. Mr. Wyley replied, it might criminate him in the event of a certain case.
Mr. McRae hoped the court would not allow the attorney for the prosecution to be deprived of his evidence in such a manner.
Mr. Williams and Mr. Botts supported the reply of the witness, and said they were willing to argue the point to-morrow.
The court accordingly consented to argument from counsel on both sides on Tuesday, on the following question: Whether or not a witness affirming on oath, that answering any question given might have a tendency to criminate himself, should be compelled in that case to answer the said question?

Kingston, May 23.
The government schooner Arethusa, from Curacoa, with dispatches from capt. Brisbane, to vice admiral Dacres, arrived yesterday at Port Royal.
We learn by the above vessel, that the inhabitants of that island were under serious apprehensions of being shortly attacked by a considerably force, which it was understood were collecting at the Caraccas, Guadalupe, and the eastern part of St. Domingo, and were to co-operate for the purpose of reducing that colony. By the same conveyance we likewise learn, that our forces at that island still experience very bad health, and numbers of them continue to die daily.
A decision interesting to merchants and sea-faring men, took place before the circuit court of the U. States, held at Philadelphia, in October last. The case was as follows.
One Jackson entered as a mate of a vessel on a voyage to Batavia and back to Philadelphia. He died at Batavia, and his wages were paid until the time of his decease. His executor however claimed full wages until the period of the vessel's return to Philadelphia. The district judge had decided in favor of the claim, from whose decision an appeal was made.
Judge Washington after minutely investigating the affair, gave his opinion— "that the decree of the district court ought to be confirmed"
Occurrences on board the schooner Huldah and Anna George Fitzhugh master, from Norfolk, bound to Philadelphia!
Thursday, June 11—At half past 11 A. M. in sight of Chincooteague, was hailed by the British frigate Melampus, and asked the following questions: From whence came you? A. From Norfolk. Where are you bound? A. To Philadelphia. These were all the questions and answers, and, as we were on different tacks, we soon passed each other, although the wind was light, he did not order me to heave too or tack after him, but fired directly at us; however the ball went over or passed us very nigh: I then hacked ship and stood after him. He sent his boat on board, and after very strict examination was permitted to proceed.

BEAUTIES OF THE RHINE.
The following excellent account of the Rhine, extracted from different authors with several original remarks, will we doubt not, at this time prove highly acceptable to our readers.
THE Rhine is one of the most important rivers in Europe: it rises in the country of the Grisons, from a Glacier, upon the summit of mount Badur, at the head of a valley, about nine leagues in length called the Rhinewalk. This is what is esteemed the chief source of the Rhine, being that styled by the French the Upper Rhine, and in German the Nearer Rhine. The Middle Rhine, which rises not far from Mount St. Gothard, is indeed the longest stream, whence its source was formerly ascribed to that mountain, yet the most eastern is stated as the most considerable. From its source the Rhine pervades or borders Switzerland for the space of 200 British miles, running N. E to the lake of Constance, whence it bends W. to Basle, where it begins its long northern course. De Lisle's celebrated map in three large sheets, is now become very scarce; but certainly none could better delineate the course of the Rhine, and the adjacent country at least as far as from Basle to Bonne; from thence any map of the Netherlands may be consulted; but for its course through Holland besides Chaudard's and others of our best maps, the Dutch one by Nicolaus Visscher, published at Amsterdam, may be particularly referred to. This noble river forms the grand ancient barrier between France and Germany, and its course may be computed at about six hundred British miles. On the German side it is diversified with mountains and rocks, but from Basle to Spire the shores are flat and uninteresting. Near Mentz they become rich and variegated; and on the confluence of the Mayne, the waters are distinguishable for many leagues. The Rhinegau forms an amphitheatre, the beauties of which are beyond description. In this neighborhood is Hockst or Hockham, so famous for good wines, that the best Rhenish is from thence called Old Hock. The first vine it is tho'
was brought there from France, and they still call the best grape the Orleans. There has certainly been a wine made in the neighborhood of Orleans, that has much the flavor of the Rhenish, particularly near the celebrated Chateau at la Source where lord Bolingbroke resided for several years during his exile; this La Source takes its name from a very remarkable spring, which suddenly rises in the garden so copious that it immediately forms the little river Loiret.
The French in general are not partial to acid wines; even the cyder of Normandy is almost always mixed with honey; but the harvest of the best vineyards of the Rhinegau is often bought beforehand at a very advanced price by Dutch and other merchants; and we know how much the best Rhenish wines and old hock are esteemed in England: Some of our own old rough cyder is equal, if not superior to either the common wines of the Rhine or the Moselle, but for that sort distinctly called Old Hock, it admits of no comparison. Travellers returning from Switzerland used to find it generally more pleasant to embark on the Rhine than to go post to Cologne. A large commodious covered boat, with three rooms in it might be had for eight louis d'ors and a half, and passengers could repose at Coblenz and at Bonne. The shores are flat on both sides from Bonne to Cologne, from whence they might have gone by the river to Holland but, the late king of Prussia, to encourage the breed of horses, insisted upon their taking the post through his dominions. Upon inspecting the accurate maps by D'Anville, it will be perceived that the Rhine afterwards divided itself into grand branches; the southern branch joined the Meuse, while the northern passed by Utrecht and Leyden. On a subsequent change the Rhine was again subdivided, and the chief branch fell into the Leck, and must now be regarded as the northern mouth of that noble river while the Waal continues to be the southern; still however, it has been insisted upon that the old Rhine may be distinctly traced from Leyden to the ocean, but the stream so called, has of late years been very accurately examined by some Englishmen, and the stream, whatever it is, absolutely terminates in some sand hills, about four miles N. W. of Leyden.

EXTRACT.
In one of the poems of Pyc, the present poet Laureat of Great Britain, we find the following description of the triumph of Dullness, by the aid of her auxiliary Fashion, against the combined forces of Wit, Reason and Beauty.
FIRST, Wit's impetuous train the fight began, Full on the foe with active force they ran. The hardy sons of Dullness bear the shock, Sustain the onset and their ardor mock, Secure from wounds, they fight, no hostile need Can make the sacred sons of dullness bleed: CONCEIT, (whose tenfold shield's the sure, defence 'Gainst all the fire of WIT, and force of SENSE; In which, when held before the warrior's heart, No weapon finds a vulnerable part; But from its temper'd verge the arrows bounds Nor leave a mark, but blunted strew the ground) Conceit, propitious hovering o'er their heads, Before his favorite band his buckler spreads; Behind its ample round they safely lie, And scorn the shafts of satire as they fly. Weak are the attempts of REASON to sustain, The shattered force of WIT's defeated train; Alike the baffled legions quickly yield, And still victorious DULLNESS keeps the field.
But different far, the marshal scene appears, Where her triumphant banner BEAUTY rears. FOLLY and VICE, in vain their power oppose, Wide o'er the field her car exulting goes; Before her bands the hostile legions fly, And round her shining chariot myriads die: Even DULLNESS learns to tremble at the sight, Draws off her conquering sons and shuns the fight The trembling goddess, seiz'd with deep dismay, Beheld the fatal fortune of the day: Yet one remaining band some hope afford, To snatch the victory from her rival's sword. From various regions drawn, a troop she had, Of forms uncouth, in dress fantastic clad, The truest slaves of FASHION's potent train. A thousand arms they wield, and arts they know, Destructive all to their triumphant foe; Here AFFECTION dress'd in full grimace, Distorts each feature of a lovely face; Here Milliners and Mantua-makers join Their cruel skill to hide a form divine. Her alter'd legions, BEAUTY scarcely knows, And shrinks astonish'd, from her shouting foes.
Married last evening, by the Rev. Mr. Moses, Mr. JOHN YOUNG, to Miss MARY DAVIS, both of this town.

Soap and Candle Works
FOR SALE.
THE subscriber having determined on relinquishing his business, offers for sale, his entire Works in the Soap and Candle manufacturing line. The Works are almost new and in good condition, fit for any person (so inclined) to go to work immediately.
In point of situation, there is none in this place equal to it for business, being within a few yards of the wharf, lower end of King-street, in which the principal business is done. It is deemed unnecessary to give a description of the Works, as it is presumed that no person will purchase without viewing them: however, they are the most extensive in this place. There is about six hundred bushels of prime Ashes on the premises. Six months of the time for which the place was rented is unexpired. For terms apply to the subscriber on the premises.
