PARIS, April 18.
Official News from Constantinople.
All the notes presented, as well by Arbutnot as by the vice admiral, whilst the enemy's fleet was before Constantinople, tend to show the eminent check the English have received, and confirm the opinion we had of the good conduct of the Porte, and of the Musselman people.
Vice admiral Duckworth had begun by burning a ship and five frigates, and by massacring the crews which were on board. He arrives before Constantinople, and the first arms which he used were menaces of every kind. But when he had begun to comprehend that they did not frighten the Porte, he changed his tone, desisting from a part of his pretensions, and satisfied by considering himself too happy in being able to repass the Straits.
The conduct of the Porte has been energetic and prudent. Scarce awakened from the astonishment which an attack as abrupt as unexpected was calculated to inspire, she armed all the shores, and as soon as the Seraglio and the coasts of Europe and Asia were sufficiently garnished with cannon, she reinforced all the batteries of the Strait. When she saw these measures were sufficient for her defence, she assumed the tone that became a great power, she menaced in her turn, and the English fleet gained the passage of the Dardanelles and fled shamefully.
Here follow the details given by a French officer who served on one of the batteries of the Straits; and the correspondence which took place between admiral Duckworth and sir Charles Arbuthnot, the English consul at Constantinople, which shall be given in our next.
FRENCH GRAND ARMY.
Sixty-Ninth Bulletin.
Finckenstein April 4.
The Gendarmes on duty are arrived at Marienwerder. Marshal Bessieres has set off to review them. They have behaved very well, and have shown great bravery in the different engagements they have had.
Gen. Tenlie, who hitherto had conducted the blockade of Colberg, has given proofs of great activity and talents.
The general of division, Lorison, has just taken the command of the siege of that fortress.
On the 19th of March, the redoubts of Selnow were attacked and carried by the 1st regiment of Italian light infantry. The garrison made a sally. The company of carabineers of the first light regiment and a company of dragoons repelled it. The rangers of the 19th regiment of the line, distinguished themselves at the attack of the village of Allstadt. The enemy lost in this engagement three pieces of cannon and 200 men made prisoners.
Marshal Lefevre commands the siege of Danzick. General Baraboisiere has the command of the artillery. The corps of artillery justifies, upon all occasions, the reputation of superiority which it has so well acquired. The French cannoniers are justly deserving of the title of chosen men. The manner of observing of the train battalions gives satisfaction.
The emperor received at Finckenstein a deputation from the Chambre of Marienwerder, consisting of the count of Groeben, the counsellor Baron de Schlieffen and count Dohna, the director of the Chamber. This deputation gave his majesty a picture of the evils which the war has drawn upon the inhabitants. The emperor made known to it that he was touched with them, and that he exempted them, together with the town of Elbing, from extraordinary contributions. He said that there were inevitable misfortunes for the theatre of war, that he took part in them and would do every thing in his power to alleviate them.
It is thought that his majesty will set off to day to take a turn to Marienwerder and Elbing.
The second Bavarian division is arrived at Warsaw. The Prince Royal of Bavaria is gone to take the command of the first division at Pultusk.
The hereditary prince of Baden is gone to put himself at the head of his corps at Danzick.
The contingent of Saxe-Weimar is arrived upon the Warta.
There has not been a shot fired at the advanced posts of the army for this fortnight past.
The heat of the sun begins to be felt; but it does not yet soften the earth. Every thing is still frozen; the spring is tardy in these climates.
Couriers from Constantinople and Persia frequently arrive at the head quarters.
The emperor's health does not cease to
be excellent. It is even remarked that it is better than it ever has been.
It was generally believed last week at Warsaw, that the emperor arrived there at 10 o'clock in the evening. The city was entirely and spontaneously illuminated.
The fortresses of Praga, Siework, Modlin, Thorn and Marienberg, begin to be in a state of defence; that of Marienwerder traced out. All these fortresses form tetes de pont upon the Vistula.
The emperor bestows great praise upon the activity of marshal Kellerman in forming provisional regiments, several of which are arrived at the army in a very soldier-like state, and have been incorporated.
His majesty the emperor is equally satisfied with the conduct of general Clark, governor of Berlin, who displays as much activity and zeal, as talent in the important post confided to him.
Prince Jerome, commander of the troops in Silesia, gives proofs of great activity, and shows talents and prudence which are, usually, only the fruits of long experience.
NANCY, April 21.
They write from Finckenstein that his majesty has just reviewed the three principal divisions of the army; the officers lately promoted to superior grades were at their respective posts; his majesty addressed the most encouraging words to his soldiers. The Turkish and Persian ambassadors have arrived at the imperial quarters. After the customary ceremonies, they were admitted to an audience of his majesty. They wait for the first fine day to re-open the campaign, if Russia does not consent to the propositions which have been made to her. All the corps of the grand army are collected into three principal divisions; the artillery forms a terrible front.
PHILADELPHIA, June 18.
By the ship Abeona , captain Allen arrived at this port yesterday, in 40 days from Liverpool we have received London papers to the 2d ult. from which we have the following:
DOVER, May 1.
A very heavy firing has been heard all this morning, and still continues from the French coast; we are unable to tell the reason of it, as it is very thick. A report prevails that the Jack-all gun brig has been taken by French row-boats—it is said that being becalmed very near the shore, they rowed out and boarded her.
LONDON, April 30.
The funds rose yesterday, and several causes were assigned for it—some supposed that admiral Duckworth had terminated successfully his negotiation with the Porte—we shall be happy to find that to be the case; but certainly no official advices have yet been received from the admiral. It was said by others, that letters from Holland had been received, stating that a general congress was to be held at Memel for negotiating peace—others asserted that Austria had at last agreed to declare against France—an assertion to which we do not attach any credit. A fourth class circulated a rumor, that either peace had been signed between Russia and France, or that an armistice had been agreed to. Russia has fought nobly and gallantly; but seeing the late ministers so indifferent to the state of the continent, so indisposed to afford liberal succors either of men or of money, she may have evinced an inclination to listen to Bonaparte's proposals. The inactivity that has reigned in Poland for some time, the cessation of all military operations of any importance, make us fear that negotiations have been or are about to be commenced. We trust, however, that the news of the late change will reach Petersburg or Memel time enough to convince the emperor of Russia and the king of Prussia that the new ministers are disposed to adopt towards the continent a very different system from that of their imbecile predecessors.
May 2.
The House of Hope, Willinck, & Co have agreed to furnish the Dutch government with a loan of 40,000,000 ducats.—The contractors it is said are permitted to carry on a trade with England, in certain articles of commerce, hitherto prohibited by the government of Holland.
FRENCH AID TO TURKEY.
Frontiers of Italy, March 6.
The greater part of the French troops intended for the Turkish expedition, have been assembled since the 15th of February in the Venetian territory—Some detachments have set out for Istria and Dalmatia, where they will go into cantonments until
the arrival of the remainder of the army. The court of Vienna granted without hesitation a passage through its territory to these troops; they take the usual route, which passes within a quarter of a league of Trieste. It is said that marshal Brune has been named by the emperor, commander in chief of this army, which already consists of 40,000 men, and will, as we are informed, be augmented to 60,000 by means of the reinforcements which are on their march as well from the departments of France as from the kingdom of Naples. The French troops which are already in Dalmatia, under the orders of gen. Lauriston, will preserve their particular destination, and will not be united to the expeditionary army.
From the Dutch Papers.
FRANKFORT, April 19.
In a letter from Bamberg, of the 10th inst. it is said, direct intelligence from the French head quarters, and from very good authority, confirms the earlier information of negotiations between the belligerent powers; adding, that according to the turn which these negotiations have now taken, it can scarcely be doubted, that the conclusion of peace upon the continent is very near at hand.
VIENNA, April 13.
The empress of Austria died on the 13th ult. at half past 7 in the morning. She had been delivered of a dead child on the 5th.—The alarming situation of her majesty brought the emperor and the archduke Charles back from Buda on the 11th. The emperor never quitted her a moment after, until she expired. She was 34 years, 10 months and 7 days old. Out of 12 children, 4 princes and 5 princesses are still living, and are the consolation of their illustrious father, while they are equally the hope of his subjects.
THORN, April 10.
For eight days past we have remarked an uncommon movement among the French troops; we mean to say, their centre has been considerably strengthened. Yesterday a train of artillery arrived here from Silesia, on its way to Danzick.
A most disheartening prospect of dearth, if not of famine, presents itself to our view in this quarter, owing to the vast confluence of foreigners, upon the Vistula.
We have just learned, that the Prussian garrison of Colberg have received a reinforcement of Russians.
FROM THE ELBE, April 20.
The Swedes, by means of their gun-boats, have got possession of the port of Swinemunde.
On the morning of the day before yesterday, the foreign troops in Hamburg, the gens d'armes excepted, left that city. The military duty is performed by the troops of the place.
The garrison of Danzick is reinforced more and more; 11,000 men were to be embarked at Memel for that destination.
FROM THE BORDERS OF THE MAIN, April 19.
The rumors of an armistice and peace still continue. A Frankfort paper says—"From Vienna it is stated, that an important declaration is very shortly expected on the part of that court, in which Russia and Prussia will be admitted to attend to the pacific sentiments of the monarch of France." In a Stuttgart paper we read, that the negotiations are continued at the French head quarters, where, besides general St. Vincent, the prince of Lichtenstein has arrived with fresh proposals from the court of Vienna. The prince has five state couriers in readiness to convey the ultimatum of his negotiation to its respective destination. In a Nuremberg paper, under the head of the "Danube, April 10," the following paragraph appears: We are generally assured that the mediation of the court of Vienna, has been accepted by the belligerent powers."
ARMISTICE.
Concluded between Baron Essen and the French General Mortier.
Extract from article I: A suspension of arms shall take place between the Swedish & French troops.
II The Swedish troops shall deliver up the Isles of Usedom and Wollin to the French.
III. The Peene and Frebel shall form the line of demarcation between the two armies. The French troops shall have a post on the other side of the Peene, near the custom-house by Anclam.
IV. As long as the armistice last, baron Essen engages not to afford any assistance whatever, either directly or indirectly, to the cities of Danzick and Colberg, nor to the troops of any power at war with France or her allies.
V. No troops belonging to any power at war with France, to land at Stralsund, in Pomerania, or in the Isle of Rugen, as long as this armistice remains in force. Should, however, in pursuance of superior orders, of which his excellency is at present ignorant, the like troops be landed at Stralsund, in this case his excellency engages, that no hostilities shall be commenced against them by the French armies, during the continuance of the armistice.
VI. No hostilities shall be recommenced by the two armies before the expiration of 10 days after notice shall have been given that the armistice is at an end.
VII. All persons belonging to the military of either army, who may be taken prisoners after the date of the armistice, shall be mutually liberated.
Schlakow, April 18, 1807, eight o'clock at night.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, June 19.
IMPORTANT.—In a letter received at this office yesterday by the British packet from Halifax, is the following important intelligence.
"With pleasure we send you the following extract of a letter, just received from a very respectable merchant of this place, now on a visit at Pictou, for the correctness of which we have not the smallest doubt."
"Pictou, June 3, 1807.
"A brig arrived here last evening in 34 days from London, and brought news that Bonaparte is at length entirely defeated, his army cut up, and flying in all directions before the Russians."
In corroboration of the preceding the Boston Palladium of the 16th, says—
"We have a rumor from the Roxana, which sailed from Antwerp on the 4th of May, that there had been a recent engagement between the French and Russians, in which the latter claimed the victory."
June 20.
To the politeness of a commercial friend the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser is indebted for the Boston Centinel of Wednesday (in anticipation of the mail) containing London news to the 5th of May, Liverpool to the 7th, and Dublin to the 9th, inclusive, being three days later than our former advices.
BOSTON, June 17.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
Last evening we received, by the Hannah, captain Cottle, from Dublin, the papers of that city to the 9th, and a Liverpool paper of the 7th May, containing London dates to the 5th May.
No great events had occurred in the grand armies in Royal Prussia, or Poland, as late as the 16th April. Great numbers of troops were daily advancing to reinforce both. The emperor Alexander had joined his army; and gen. Bennigsen retained his command, and the entire confidence of his sovereign. Lord Hutchinson was with the Russian army.
The Swedes, from Stralsund, having followed the French too far, were, in their turn, attacked by marshal Mortier, defeated, and driven beyond Anklam, with the loss of 1400 made prisoners, and 5 pieces of cannon. On this reverse, the Swedish commander proposed an armistice, which was agreed to, and two Swedish islands pledged as guarantees. Each party was at liberty to break the armistice on giving ten days notice. It was conjectured in England, the armistice would not be ratified by the king of Sweden.
The complete failure of the English expedition against Constantinople was confirmed. Admiral Duckworth had returned into the Archipelago, with the loss in the passages of the Dardanelles of 69 killed, and 219 wounded. Stone balls were fired into the fleet in the narrows weighing 700 wt each. Six Turkish ships of war were destroyed. On the return of the English to Tenedos, they were joined (March 16th) by seven sail of Russian line of battle ships. The failure of the expedition is attributed to calm weather and the want of troops.
The Russians had invested Ismail; had gained some advantages, and received reinforcements from the Crimea; but the Ottoman forces were collected in strength, and a French army was on the point of entering Turkey. French influence was paramount in Constantinople; and Austria appeared to side against Russia.
We continue to receive reports of the recent capture of Alexandria, in Egypt, by a British force under sir Sidney Smith. The London papers, it is true, speak of a strong expedition having sailed from Sicily; but we have no correct accounts of its destination. Besides, we know sir Sidney was engaged in the affair of the Dardanelles, the 19th February last; when in the Pompee of 80 guns, he passed under her three topsails, and only fired one gun as he passed, in contempt of the Turkish fire; and to him was allotted the destruction of the Turkish squadron, which he executed.

LATEST FROM THE CONTINENT.
Captain Kearny, of the ship Monticello, has favored the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with Dutch papers to the 7th of May from which the following translations have been made, and are the only articles of moment which the papers contain. Captain K. left Amsterdam the 12th of May.
The latest accounts from the Grand armies were to the 24th of April, at which time no general action had taken place, but was momentarily expected. Both the French and Russian armies have received immense reinforcements. The head quarters of the French were at Finkenstien, and those of the Russians at Bartenstien, about forty English miles distant; but their advanced corps were only five miles apart and had frequent skirmishes.
All ideas of peace had vanished. An article from Vienna dated April 18th states. It is apparent that the new campaign between the Russian and French armies will soon be opened; the negotiations for peace being at an end.—We remain neutral.
WARSAW, April 6.
A levy of fifteen thousand men from this country has been ordered to reinforce the French army.
MEMEL, April 16.
The continuation of the war is already decided. Baron Hardenberg is appointed minister of foreign affairs.
PETERSBURG, April 4.
The emperor has ordered a levy of 200,000 men from the militia, for immediate service.
CONSTANTINOPLE, March 28.
A part of the British fleet appears to have gone up the Mediterranean. They have however left five or ten ships before Tenedos. The Turkish fleet has returned to Constantinople to disembark part of the land forces, and to proceed from thence to the Black Sea. The British fleet has taken possession of the island of Cyprus. The blockade of the Dardanelles has caused a great scarcity of provisions here.

TRIAL OF COL. AARON BURR.
THURSDAY, June 18.
After the court was opened, the following opinion as delivered by the chief justice, as to the propriety of a witness answering questions which might criminate himself.
In the point of law the question now before the court relates to the witness himself. The attorney for the United States offers a paper in cypher which he supposes to have proceeded from a person against whom he has preferred an indictment for high treason, and another for a misdemeanor, both of which are now before the grand jury, and produces a person said to be the secretary or clerk of the person accused, who is supposed either to have copied this paper by his directions or to be able to prove in some other manner that it has proceeded from his authority. To a question demanding whether he understands this paper, the witness has declined giving an answer, saying that the answer might criminate himself; and it is referred to the court to decide whether the excuse he has offered be sufficient to prevent his answering to the question which has been propounded to him.
It is a settled maxim of law that no man is bound to criminate himself. This maxim forms one exception to the general rule which declares that every person is compellable to bear testimony in a court of justice. For the witness who considers himself as being within this exception, it is alleged that he is, and from the nature of things must be the sole judge of the effect of his answer. That he is consequently at liberty to refuse to answer any question, if he will say upon his oath that his answer to that question might criminate himself.
When this opinion was first suggested the court conceived the principle laid down at the bar to be broad, and therefore required that authorities in support of it might be adduced. Authorities have been
adduced, and have been considered. In all of them the court could perceive that an answer to the question propounded might criminate the witness, and he was informed that he was at liberty to refuse an answer. These cases do not appear to the court to support the principle laid down by the counsel for the witness in the full latitude in which they have stated it. There is no dictum which takes from the court the right to consider and decide whether any direct answer to the particular question propounded could be reasonably supposed to affect the witness. There may be questions, no direct answer to which could in any degree affect him, and there is no case which goes so far as to say that he is not bound to answer such questions. The case of Goosey in this court is perhaps the strongest that has been adduced. But the general doctrine of the judge in that case must have reference to the circumstances which shewed that the answer might terminate here. When two principles come in conflict with each other, the court must give them both a reasonable construction, so as to preserve them both to a reasonable extent. The principle which entitles the U. S. to the testimony of every citizen, and the principle by which every witness is privileged, not to accuse himself, can neither of them be entirely disregarded. They are believed both to be preserved to a reasonable extent, and according to the true intention of the rule, and of the exception to that rule, by observing that course which it is conceived courts have generally observed. It is this: when a question is propounded, it belongs to the court to consider and to decide whether any direct answer to it can implicate the witness. If this be decided in the negative, then he may answer it without violating the privilege which is secured to him by law. If a direct answer to it may criminate himself, then he must be the sole judge what his answer would be. The court cannot participate with him in this judgment, because they cannot decide on the effect of his answer without knowing what it would be, and a disclosure of that fact to the judges would strip him of the privilege which the law allows, and which he claims. It follows necessarily then from this state of things that if the question be of such a description that an answer to it, may or may not criminate the witness according to the purport of that answer, it must rest with himself who alone can tell what it would be, to answer the question or not. If in such a case he says upon his oath that his answer would criminate himself, the court can demand no other testimony of the fact. If the declaration be untrue, it is, in conscience and in law, as much a perjury as if he had declared any other untruth upon his oath. It is one of those cases in which the rule of law must be abandoned or the oath of the witness be received.
The counsel for the U. S. have also laid down this rule according to their understanding of it, but they appear to the court to have made it as much too narrow as the counsel for the witness have made it too broad. According to their statement, a witness can never refuse to answer any question unless that answer unconnected with other testimony would be sufficient to convict him of a crime. This would be rendering the rule almost perfectly useless. Many links frequently compose that chain of testimony, which is necessary to convict any individual of a crime. It appears to the court to be the true sense of the rule, that no witness is compellable to furnish any one of them against himself.
It is certainly not only a possible but a probable case, that a witness by disclosing a single fact, may complete the testimony against himself, and to every effectual purpose accuse himself, as enirely as he would do by stating every circumstance which would be required for his conviction. That fact of itself might be unavailing; but all other facts without it would be insufficient. While that remains conceded within his own honor he is safe, but draw it from thence, and he is exposed to a prosecution. The rule which declares that no man is compellable to accuse himself, would most obviously be infringed by compelling a witness to disclose a fact of this description.
What testimony may be possessed, or is attainable against any individual, the court can never know. It would seem then that the court ought never to compel a witness to give an answer, which discloses a fact that would form a necessary and essential part of a crime, which is punishable by the laws.
To apply this reasoning to the particular case under consideration. To know and conceal the treason of another, is misprision of treason, and is punishable by law. No witness, therefore, is compellable by law to disclose a fact which would form a ne-
cessary and essential part of this crime. If the letter in question contains evidence of treason, which is a fact not dependent on the testimony of the witness before the court, and therefore may be proved without the aid of his testimony, and if the witness was acquainted with that treason when the letter was written, he may probably be guilty of misprision of treason, and therefore the court ought not to compel him to answer any question, the answer to which might disclose his former knowledge of the contents of that letter.
But if the letter should relate to the misdemeanor and not the treason, the court is not apprized, that a knowledge and concealment of the misdemeanor, would expose the witness to any prosecution whatever. On this account, the court was at first disposed to enquire, whether the letter could be decyphered, in order to determine from its contents, how far the witness could be examined respecting it. The court was inclined to this course, from considering the question as one which might require a disclosure of the knowledge which the witness might have had of the contents of this letter, when it was put in cypher, or when it was copied by him, if indeed such was the fact. But on hearing the question more particularly and precisely stated, and finding that it refers only to the present knowledge of the cypher it appears to the court, that the question may be answered without implicating the witness because his present knowledge would not, it is believed in a criminal prosecution, justify the inference that his knowledge was acquired previous to this trial, or afford the means of proving that fact.
The court is therefore of opinion, that the witness may answer the question now propounded.
The gentlemen of the bar, will understand the rule laid down by the court to be this.
It is the province of the court to judge, whether any direct answer to the question which may be proposed, will furnish evidence against the witness.
If such answer may disclose a fact which forms a necessary and essential link in the chain of testimony, which would be sufficient to convict him of any crime, he is not bound to answer it, so as to furnish matter for that conviction.
In such a case, the witness must himself judge what his answer will be, and if he says on oath that he cannot answer without accusing himself, he cannot be compelled to answer.
Mr. Wyley being interrogated, replied, he did not understand the part of the letter in cypher.
Mr. Hay then put the following question: "Mr. Wyley, do you know whether or not this paper was written by col. Burr or by his direction?"
Answer. The part in cypher, was wrote by col. Burr.
Mr. Hay then moved, that the paper go to the grand jury, as they had sent for it.
Mr. Botts objected to the motion, and contended that the materiality of the paper to the present case, ought first to be shewn to the court, before the paper could be sent.
The court were of opinion, that the paper ought to be decyphered in court to prove its relevancy, before it could be sent to the grand jury.
The grand jury came into court about two. Mr. John Randolph, the foreman of the grand jury, thus addressed the court: "May it please the Court, one of the witnesses under examination, has answered certain questions touching a letter in cypher. The grand jury understand, that a letter of the same description is in the possession of the attorney in the court, and they wish to have that letter in order to ascertain whether it be the original or a copy of the same." The letter in cypher was accordingly, after some discussion by the counsel on both sides, delivered to the grand jury.
The court afterwards adjourned.
MONTE VIDEO.
The following letter presents matter of some interest:
"The treasure is immense; some calculate 32 millions sterling. During the siege, they loaded a French frigate, and two gunbrigs, with dollars, which they cowardly set fire to, on the morning the town surrendered. About 20 deserters from the British camp, and three Americans, that had possession of one of the Spanish batteries, and would not surrender, are to be hanged, together with the whole of the crew of the Jane Shore guineaman, that had mutinied, and killed their officers."
"The country is in a state of nature, without cultivation, but still produces luxuriantly. A bullock will cost about a dollar, and a horse about three or four dollars. Wool, and hides, tobacco, tea, and chocolate, in heaps, lay out in the fields, perhaps walled about, in some places, with cowhorns and bones. The city contains about 40,000 inhabitants, who are very swarthy in the face. The women dress loosely, and seem a little curious to gaze after strangers."
There is a great demand for clerks; and tradesmen can easily make a fortune in a short time. The Aurora is arrived. Neither the Garland nor May are yet arrived. I saw 14 dollars paid for a quire of common writing paper, and 3s. 1d. for a glass to a watch."
Another letter, after alluding to the desperate attack on the town, says, "The climate seems to agree very well with me; and tho' the heat is very oppressive, the air has all the salubrity it is famed for."
