LIVINGSTON'S APPEAL To the Public. [CONCLUDED]
The gentleman to whom I before alluded, was so perfectly persuaded that the visit would end in the most satisfactory arrangement...
My first crime was the act of professional duty, I have before detailed, and it was followed by the denunciation which has forced me before the tribunal of the public.
I content myself in this statement of facts with such details as are necessary to my own justification. Should they find their way to the seat of government...
member that the day of retribution will arrive, and is not far distant, when a strict account will be taken, as well of the wanton abuses of power...
I have said that we must suffer. Never were two words more applicable, that is our situation. It is one, the most dreadful to an independent mind...
In the mean time where is the necessity that exists for these measures? Are the courts shut? Do the judges refuse their duty?
The witnesses who could here (if the charges are well founded) have substantiated their guilt, being at a great distance, time will be given them to escape...
A consideration of these consequences, a conviction of the illegality of the arrests and a sense of duty induced me, in compliance with the request of a fellow practitioner...
That same sense of duty induced me to issue another writ of habeas corpus for Mr. Alexander and Mr. Ogden. The latter gentleman had been brought a few days prior to this...
I know not what effect this publication will have. It may justify me to my country, which is the first wish of my heart. It may be the means of producing a strict scrutiny into my conduct...
EDW. LIVINGSTON. New Orleans, 26th Dec. 1806.
Edward Livingston, of the city of New Orleans, counsellor at law, being duly sworn on the holy evangelists of Almighty God, doth depose, that he hath never had
* I am authorised to state, that official communication has been made to General Wilkinson, that the proper tribunal was ready to receive and act upon any charges he might think proper to make.
any communication, written or verbal, direct or indirect, with Aaron Burr, or any other person whom he knows or has reason to suspect...
(Signed) EDW. LIVINGSTON. Sworn this 26th day of Dec. 1806, before me Dom. A. Hall, district judge of the U. S. for the Orleans district.
From the National Intelligencer. The following is the opinion delivered by judge Fitzhugh on the commitment of Messrs. BOLLMAN and SWARTWOUT, on a charge of treason.
MY extreme indisposition has prevented me from preparing any remarks in support of the opinion which I am called on to give; but since it has been thought proper by the members of the court to assign our reasons for the course which has been pursued...
This question has been argued as if it were now before a jury who were called on to convict, or acquit the prisoners, without recollecting that we are at the stage where, in the language of the constitution probable cause supported by oath or affidavit, is sufficient.
These inquiries obviously occur. First. Is there probable cause to believe that any treason has been committed against the United States...
That there is probable cause to believe that treason has been committed by col. Burr, the public rumor and universal alarm which seems to have convulsed our territory from the extremity to the centre...
Burr's treason against the United States yet they must be considered entitled to some weight in leading to the conclusion that there is probable cause...
A report thus sanctioned by duty & oath, if made to this court by one of its officers, would be respected, and why should not a communication from the first executive officer of the union be credited...
Burr's treason then being established, we are to enquire whether the prisoners were his confederates. They are represented, under oath, to have been the bearers of the duplicates of Burr's letters in cypher to Wilkinson...
Here then is evidence of a connection with col. Burr of a treasonable nature. What is it? The act of congress defines misprison of treason to be a neglect to disclose the knowledge of a treason.

of a treasonable nature between misprison and treason, it must be treason. It has been observed by the counsel for the prisoners that no judge could commit an affidavit made before any other judge. This distinction is certainly new, and I believe unprecedented. In all general warrants for arresting a supposed offender, the direction to the officer is to bring the party before the person issuing the warrant, or some other justice of peace, &c. which would be at least nugatory, if no person could inspect or regard the affidavit except the person before whom it was made. Therefore I conclude that Wilkinson's affidavits made before justices of the peace of New Orleans, whose commissions appear to be properly authenticated by the secretary of state, are evidence at this stage of our enquiry. I am therefore of opinion, that the prisoners should be committed for treason against the U. S. in levying war against them.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, February 8. The brig Emmeline, capt. Stowell, arrived at Sandy Hook on Saturday, in the remarkably short passage of 32 days from Bourdeaux. Captain Stowell sent up his newspapers, shipping list, &c. by the pilot-boat Patriot; and the Editor of the Mercurie Advertiser has the pleasure of laying before his readers Paris dates to the 27th of December, London news to the 18th of that month, and intelligence from the Grand Army to the 15th, inclusive. The only interesting information we have received is contained in the 20th bulletin. We have translated that and the 40th. The intermediate and the succeeding ones will be given in due course. The head quarters of the French Grand Army on the 15th were at Posen. No action had taken place between them, and the Prussians or Russians from the time Bonaparte entered Berlin. The French took possession, without any opposition, of all the fortified places between Berlin and Posen. The Russians and French had not come into contact. The former had declared war against the Ottoman Porte, and had left the King of Prussia to his fate. Our last accounts represent him to be at Konigsberg, verging rapidly toward the situation to which the French emperor wished to reduce him.
ENGLAND.
LONDON, December 15. On Saturday the following rear-admirals of the red were promoted to the rank of vice-admirals of the blue: James Kempthorne, Esq. Sampson Edwards, Esq. George Campbell, Esq. Henry Brandland, Esq. Arthur Philip, Esq. Sir G. W. Fairfax, Knt. Sir James Saumarez. Sir James Saumarez is to hoist his flag in the Channel fleet, under lord St. Vincent, in the room of sir Charles Cotton, who, it is said, is to succeed sir Erasmus Gower in the command at Newfoundland. We have not heard who is to succeed sir James Saumarez in his command at Guernsey and Jersey. The king's speech was finally settled, and read to his majesty by lord Grenville, on Wednesday last. December 16. House of Lords, Monday, Dec. 16. The lord chancellor informed the lords assembled, that it was not in his majesty's power, for several reasons, to be present at the meeting of parliament, but that his majesty would, on a convenient day, state his reasons to parliament for having called them together at this time. Eight thousand men, all picked soldiers, are expected to proceed in three detachments on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, to Paddington, in the vicinity of London, to be conveyed by the canal to Liverpool. The passage will take about 3 days, after which they will be sent with all expedition to Dublin. 17th. Five of the largest transports in General Crawford's expedition, have been given into Illracomb, and 1000 of the men have been marched to Barnstable. In consequence of a new regulation in the Alien Department, brought forward by lord Spencer, all strangers, before they embark for Great Britain, must obtain a passport from the British resident in the country from which they are about to depart, and this document, on their arrival, must be countersigned by the minister of that country residing here. In cases of neglect, of which due notice is immediately to be given to the secretary of state
for the foreign department, those who have not such a testimonial to produce will be considered as objects of suspicion, and will of course not be permitted to continue in the country.
The Dantzig, Rosindale, which arrived at Hull on Friday afternoon, left the Sound on Tuesday se'nnight. The English ships at Dantzig have all got out, ready to put to sea, in case the French reached that place. It is said they were in possession both of it and Thorn. At St. Petersburg the exchange with this country had fallen very greatly.
GERMANY.
FRANKFORT, Dec. 15. Letters from Scania in Sweden, announce that the Swedish army had received orders to hold itself in readiness to march; reinforcements have already set off from Istad for the garrison of Stralsund.
December 16. The deputies from the kingdom of Italy arrived at Munich on the tenth instant. They are going to the Imperial head quarters, to compliment the emperor in the name of the Italian nation, upon his new victories.
They write from Vienna that the French ambassador, general Andreossi, continues to have frequent conferences with the secretary of state, count de Stadion. It is thought in that capital that objects of the highest importance are negotiating between the two courts.
December 19. All the intelligence from Hungary agrees in stating that peace has been definitively signed between the Porte and Servians. It adds that Cserni Georges, to whom has been granted the title of Prince of Servia, is to march into Moldavia with forty thousand men; in order to join the army which the Grand Seignor has assembled in that province to oppose the Russians.
HAMBURG, Dec. 12. The head quarters of Marshal Mortier, were still at Anclam, on the frontiers of Swedish Pomerania, on the 7th inst. His corps of the army were reinforced daily with new troops. They are for the most part Dutch regiments. On the 9th a heavy cannonading was heard in the neighborhood of Lawenburg.
The Dutch troops have taken possession in the name of the king of Holland, of the Dukedoms of Odenburg and Delmonhost, as also of the Lordships of Varel & Kniphausen.
The executive commission of the county of Hanover, published on the 9th as follows:
"By order of his excellency marshal Mortier, all commerce and every other intercourse between this country and England, are rigorously prohibited. It is severely forbidden to the inhabitants to send or expedite to England any letter, package, &c."
HOLLAND.
THE HAGUE, Dec. 17. We, Louis Napoleon, by the grace of God and the constitution of the kingdom of Holland have decreed, and do decree as follows.
Art. 1. No vessel shall depart until further orders from the ports of the kingdom without special authority from us, which shall be granted only after a guarantee and security have been given that the cargo shall not be discharged at an enemy's port. The authorization for sailing shall be signed with our hand.
Art. 2. All vessels entering any of the ports of the kingdom, shall be immediately arrested, without the possibility of being released, unless by special authority from us, and signed with our hand.
Art. 3. Every fishing boat shall be examined before leaving and after returning into port by the police and custom house officers.
Art. 4. No fishing boat shall be permitted to sail out unless the master has previously made oath that he will have no voluntary communication with any ships or vessels whatever, or if forced thereto to declare it without fail.
Art. 5. The post masters and other officers in their employ are responsible for all letters coming from or going to England. They will remit them instantly to the minister of justice and police.
Art. 6. Our ministers are charged with the execution of the present decree &c."
The bill for the creation of a grand order of the kingdom, and of an order of merit, was sent on the 11th instant to the assembly of their high mightinesses.
The king's message was couched in the following terms—
"Gentlemen, We send you the bill announced to you on the first of this month. Considering, that amongst monarchical states Holland is the only one which has no order of knighthood; considering that the Dutch nation is celebrated in the annals of the world, both by the genius of its inhabitants, and by their military history, and that it is our duty to leave no means neglected to preserve it in the rank and respectability which it has always enjoyed; wishing in consequence to institute public rewards for those of our subjects who have distinguished themselves and may distinguish themselves throughout every class, and particularly for the officers in the land and sea service; we propose to you to pass the following decree—
Art. 1. A grand order of the kingdom shall be created, under the name of the Order of the Union, and likewise a Royal Order of Merit; destined for civil and military actions.
The grand order of the Union shall consist of thirty great crosses at most. The grand order of the Union shall not be endowed. The expenses of its administration shall be provided for by the persons to whom the king shall have granted this distinction.
3. The royal order of Merit shall be endowed with an annual revenue of sixty thousand florins. This revenue shall form part of the annual budget of the state.
5. The king is declared chief, grand master and founder of the two orders.
His successors shall be chiefs and grand masters in perpetuity.
6. The king shall appoint all the grand crosses, commanders and knights of the two orders, assisted by a chapter formed by three of the eldest commanders, the three eldest knights and a grand chancellor of the order, chosen amongst the commanders, and shall be at the same time treasurer.
7. The king shall order all the regulations concerning the decorations, administrations and discipline of the two orders, as well as the administration and distribution of the funds set apart for the endowment of the royal order of Merit.
A copy of the present decree shall be delivered to the king.
On which, gentlemen, &c. Given on the 11th Dec. of the year 1806.
(Signed)
LOUIS.
Their high mightinesses having taken into consideration his majesty's message, the bill was converted into a law in the same sitting.
PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, Dec. 8.
A courier of the emperor passed this night through Berlin with dispatches for Mentz; he has announced that the advanced guard of the French army extended already as far as the frontiers of Russian Poland.
Though the elector of Saxony arrived too late in Berlin to be presented to his majesty the emperor, it is announced in this city that Saxony was called to high destinies, and that the present elector would assume the title granted to several of the princes forming the confederation of the Rhine.
FRANCE.
PARIS, Dec. 22.
The imperial decree which declares the British island in a state of blockade, was published at Milan on the 12th inst. to this publication was appended a decree of his imperial highness the prince vice-roy, to insure the execution of this grand measure throughout the kingdom of Italy.
That decree, among other dispositions, orders every individual who may have goods accruing from the manufacture of England or of her colonies, and also every depository of real or personal estate or debts belonging to British subjects, to declare the same within 48 hours.
It is asserted that his majesty, wishing to give to the king of Spain a proof of his friendship and desirous also to see the Spanish army on a respectable footing, which may enable it to co-operate towards the common advantage, has not only authorised the recruiting for Spain of 25,000 men, to be taken from amongst the Prussian prisoners, but has consented that 25,000 men more shall be put at the disposal of the government of Madrid, with the sole condition that the Prussian prisoners, amongst whom they shall be chosen, shall be freely enlisted and can only be employed in the military service.

MORE TRIBUTE. —We have for a long time entertained no doubt that the French government would find some ground for demanding an annual tribute of this country so long as it shall continue under an administration that will submit to it. It appears by our letters from Washington, that the present this year is an antiquated claim of the heirs of M. De Beaumarchais. It would seem by the account which is given of M. De Beaumarchais's communication, that it is somewhat in the style of that in which he demanded the passing of a law to stop the intercourse with St. Domingo. [Ed. paper.]
With regard to the dispensation of Law in France, says the London Courier, Bonaparte's Will is the Law—his Office the Jury—his Power the Judge—and his Duty the Executive.

Rappahannock Mills, &c.
T HE subscriber would lease or rent, that valuable property, called " HUNTER'S WORKS ," consisting of a Manufacturing Mill, (late in the occupancy of Messrs. Cooch and Hollingsworths) having two water wheels, with four pair burr stones, and all necessary machinery—a good Grist Mill, Saw Mill, and houses suitable for millers, coopers, & blacksmiths. At this place are the walls and remains of a forge and sitting mill, formerly carried on, the sites of which, and others in the same canal, are excellent for water works of various kinds. This property is on the north edge of the Rappahannock, within two miles of Fredericksburg and one of Falmouth, has peculiar advantages of water, and is well situated for the purchase of wheat, not the staple of the country, and of the last crop, large proportion yet to come to market.
Also, a valuable MANUFACTURING MILL , with two water wheels, two pair of stones, and the usual machinery, situated on the same edge of the river, within half a mile of Falmouth, having a convenient and comfortable miller's house attached to it, and a canal which now affords water communication from Falmouth to the mill door, and at the expense of only three or four hundred dollars may be extended to the doors of the forge mills. On, I will sell the whole of the above Property, under stipulations, for the benefit of contiguous property, but no way injurious to this, and give credit seven years if necessary, for three fourths of the amount, and accommodating time for the other fourth.
