MESSAGE
From the president of the U. S. transmitting further information relative to the conspiracy.
To the senate and house of representatives of the U. S.
By the letters of captain Bissel, who commands at fort Massac, and of Mr. Murrell, to general Jackson of Tennessee, copies of which are now communicated to congress, it will be seen that Aaron Burr passed fort Massac on the 31st of Dec. with about ten boats navigated by about 6 hands each, without any military appearance; and that three boats with ammunition were said to have been arrested by the militia at Louisville.
As the guards of militia posted on various points of the Ohio, will be able to prevent any further aids passing through that channel, should any be attempted, we now estimate with tolerable certainty the means derived from the Ohio and its waters, towards the accomplishment of the purposes of Mr. Burr.

NASHVILLE, Jan. 8, 1807.
Gen. Andrew Jackson, SIR.
I received your instructions, dated the 2d inst. and agreeable thereto I delivered your letter, addressed to gen. Thomas Johnson, to colonel Cheatham, and it was forwarded to him immediately. I arrived at Centerville on the 4th instant; heard a report there that colonel Burr had gone down the river with one thousand armed men; arrived at the mouth of Cumberland river that evening, and made enquiry concerning colonel Burr, and was informed that he left that place on the 28th of December, 1806, with 10 boats of different descriptions, had sixty men on board, but no appearance of arms. I left there on the 5th inst. and arrived at fort Massac that evening, delivered your letter to captain Bissel, and received his answer; made some inquiries of him, and was informed that colonel Burr had left that place on the 30th of December, 1806, with ten boats. He likewise informed me that he had been on board the boats and seen no appearance of arms or ammunition. On my return to the mouth of Cumberland river, I was informed that three boats had been stopped at Louisville, with a quantity of ammunition. There are about fifty men stationed at the mouth of Cumberland, under command of colonel Ramsey.
I remain,
With the highest esteem,
Your's,
(Signed)
JOHN MURRELL.
FORT MASSAC, Jan. 5th, 1807.
SIR,
This day per express I had the honor to receive your very interesting letter of the 2d inst. and shall pay due respect to its contents. As yet I have not received the president's proclamation alluded to, nor have I received any orders from the department of war, relative to the subject matter of your letter.
There has not to my knowledge been any assemblage of men or boats at this or any other place, unauthorized by law or precedent; but should any thing of the kind make its appearance, which carries with it the least mark of suspicion, as having illegal enterprises or projects in view, hostile to the peace and good order of government, I shall, with as much ardor and energy as the case will admit, endeavor to bring to justice all such offenders.
For more than two weeks last past, I have made it a point to make myself acquainted with the loading and situation of all boats descending the river. As yet there has nothing the least alarming appeared. On or about the 31st ultimo, col. Burr, late vice president of the U. States, passed this with about ten boats of different descriptions, navigated with about six men each, having nothing on board that would suffer a conjecture more than a man bound to market. He has descended the rivers towards Orleans. Should any thing, to my knowledge, transpire interesting to government, I will give the most early notice in my power.
I have the honor to be, Respectfully,
Sir, Your obedient servant,
(Signed)
DAN. BISSEL, Commanding captain.
Gen. Andrew Jackson, Nashville, Tennessee.
Extract of a letter dated Natchitoches, December 20, 1806.
"Ere this reaches you, you no doubt will be fully informed of the termination of differences in this quarter; it will therefore be unnecessary for me to say any thing on the subject, except that every thing is perfectly tranquil, and both governors Cordero and Herrera, are gone to St. Antonio. The latter, it is said, is to return to Nacogdoches after conferring with the captain general Salcedo who ordered him to meet him there."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of the highest respectability a member of congress, dated Nashville, 8th January, 1807, noticing the measures adopted by the general officer, commanding the western division of that state, to whom dispatches had been sent by the executive of the U. S. relative to Burr's conspiracy.
"The general knowing his duty, was determined to act, and if proof could be obtained, to stop all boats with warlike stores, or military preparations—He ordered 12 companies of volunteers with gen. — to command, to hold themselves in readiness to march, and dispatched a confidential messenger to the mouth of Cumberland river with special instructions, and to proceed to fort Massac with a letter to captain Bissel. The messenger has returned, and from him and captain Bissel's answer it is stated, that col. Burr left Massac about the 1st inst. with 10 boats with about six men in each, without arms or any military stores. The volunteers on this occasion did honor to themselves and to their country. Figure to yourself gen. R—— as cap. of such men as gen. O——, major T——, &c. &c. all old veterans, and over fifty, tendering their services to their general and their country. The general ordered the militia to return to their homes and be ready to march at a moment's warning."

PARIS, Nov. 19.
THIRTIETH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
Berlin, Nov. 10.
The fortified town of Magdeburg surrendered on the 8th. On the 9th the gates were occupied by the French troops: the capitulation is hereto annexed.
Sixteen thousand men, nearly 800 pieces of cannon, and magazines of every kind are in our hands.
Prince Jerome has laid Glogau, the capital of Upper Silesia, under blockade, by brigadier general Lefebvre, at the head of 2000 Bavarian horse.
The town was bombarded on the 8th by ten howitzers, fired by the light artillery men. The princess passed an eulogium on the conduct of the Bavarian cavalry. Gen. Deroy invested Glogau with his division on the 9th. A parley has been opened for its surrender.
Marshal Davoust entered Posen with a corps of the enemy on the 10th. He is highly satisfied with the spirit that animates the soldiers. The persons who hold situations under the Prussian government would have been massacred, had not the French army taken them under its protection.
The vans of four Russian columns, each 15,000 men strong, had begun to enter the Prussian states by Georgenburg, Olsza, Grodno and Jalowka. On the 25th of October, these advanced guards of columns had made two days marches, when they received news of the battle of the 15th, and of the consequent events. They retrograded immediately. So many successes and events of such high importance, should not slacken the military preparations in France. They should on the contrary be followed up with fresh energy, not to satisfy an insatiable ambition, but to fix bounds to the ambition of our enemies.
The French army will not quit either Poland or Berlin, until the Porte shall have been in the full extent of its independence, nor until Wallachia, and Moldavia shall have been declared to belong in complete sovereignty to the Porte!
The French army will not quit Berlin until the possessions and colonies, both Spanish and Dutch, and French, shall have been given up, and a general peace made.
[Here follows the capitulation of Magdeburg.]
THIRTY-FIRST BULLETIN.
Berlin, Nov. 12.
On the eleventh inst. at 11 in the morning, the garrison of Magdeburg filed off,
in presence of the division of the army under the command of marshal Ney. We have captured 20 generals, 890 officers and 22,000 soldiers, among whom are 900 artillerymen, with 54 pair of colors, five standards, 800 pieces of artillery, one million pounds of powder, a great assemblage of pontoons, and an immense quantity of metal for the casting of cannon.
Colonel Gerard and adjutant commander Richard, presented to the emperor, this morning, in the name of the 1st and 4th corps, 60 pair of colors, taken from the Prussian corps under general Blucher, at Lubeck. There were amongst them 22 standards. Four thousand horses, completely mounted, which were seized near Lubeck, are on their way to the depot at Pomezam.
In the 20th bulletin it was stated, that the corps under general Blucher put us in possession of 12,000 prisoners, including five hundred cavalry. This was a mistake: there were 21,000 made prisoners, including 5000 cavalry, completely mounted. Thus, in consequence of these two capitulations, we have obtained 120 pair of colors and standards, and 43,000 prisoners.
The total of prisoners made since the commencement of the campaign, exceeds 140,000; and that of the colors taken from the enemy in the field of battle, and in the affairs with detachments, exceeds eight hundred; and that of those found in Berlin and the surrendered fortresses four thousand.
The emperor yesterday reviewed his horse and foot guards in a plain in front of Berlin. The weather was very fine.
General Savary has entered Rostock with his moveable column. He found there from forty to fifty Swedish ships in ballast, which he immediately put up to sale.
SEIZURE OF HAMBURG
BY THE FRENCH, And confiscation of all British property found in that city.
HAMBURGH, Nov. 22.
"This city, which has so long preserved its independence, is reduced to a state of vassalage. After the most solemn farce practised by the French minister to produce the conviction that the neutrality of Hamburg would be respected, 2000 infantry, and 250 Dutch cavalry, suddenly entered the place on Wednesday, with general Mortier at their head, and formally took possession of the city in the name of Napoleon. The next day (Thursday) French soldiers mounted guard at all public offices and gates, and free quarters were provided for the troops, who were distributed at the houses of the citizens. A few hours only had expired, when the names of the generals, colonels and commissioners of the French army were inscribed on the doors of the principal mansions, so that it might have been supposed to have been a garrisoned town for six months. The commissary at war occupies the house of the British ministers which he entered half an hour after the latter had quitted it. The head quarters are at a senator's, in the Blichen. One of the first measures has been a demand by the commander in chief of all the English property, in whatever form it may appear. To this application the senate replied, that to force such a requisition would be the total ruin of the city. Gen. Mortier signified, on receiving this communication, that it was his determination not to relax a shilling of his demand. Means are already taken to carry the scheme of pillage into immediate execution, and for this purpose the merchants are required to give an estimate of all the English property in their hands, domiciliary visits are appointed to ascertain the validity of such accounts—and yesterday afternoon many of the most respectable persons were put under arrest, to operate on the public mind by intimidation. Among these I am sorry to name Mr. Burrows, Mr. John Thornton, Mr. George Smith and Mr. Parish. At first these gentlemen were confined in a house near the exchange, after seals had been put upon their effects; but they have since been permitted to occupy their respective houses. A guard, however, always attends them. In this situation of things, apprehensions are entertained, that more of the English will be put under arrest, until the avarice of these public plunderers is satiated. Since Wednesday, about 5,000 more French infantry have arrived here; and it may naturally be expected, that from the total stagnation of trade, and the increased price of subsistence the lower orders will not be able to maintain themselves; and that the greatest disorder
will prevail in a city, the population of which extends to 120,000 souls. The famine threatened at Berlin is to be alleviated by supplies from the granaries of Hamburg, which is another cause of anxiety, under the immediate necessities and difficulties with which this unfortunate city has to contend. I am sorry to present before you so melancholy a picture, and I should with yet more reluctance make any comment upon it, as affecting the interest of the great commercial city, in which you reside, and the manufacturing towns throughout the British empire. Unfortunately the destruction of war is not confined to those whose perish in the field, it is brought to the five sides of those who are the best friends to the peace, order and happiness of society.
"Yours, &c."
LONDON, Dec. 2.
The following is said to be the outline of the new political arrangements which Bonaparte has declared he is determined to enforce on the continent:—
The electorate of Brandenburg with some contiguous territory, to be erected into a kingdom under the dominion of Jerome Bonaparte. Prussia proper to be retained by his Prussian majesty, with the title of king. His capital to be Konigsberg. The Polish territory to be wrested from Austria, Russia, and Prussia, and reconstituted into one state, of the same extent as before the partition. Murat to be proclaimed king of the Poles. Holland to receive a very considerable accession of territory particularly in Westphalia. The Duchies of Cleves and Berg at present possessed by Murat, to be given to one of the French marshals.
By the information of a gentleman, whose family was at Lubeck, it appears that in that city and its vicinity the French have five thousand men. The carnage was dreadful that for some time they would not advance until marshal Bernadotte claimed, "Avancez! Avancez! mes enfans, je vous permettrai le pillage." The following was among the more successful expedients to avoid plunder at Lubeck.
All the most valuable articles were taken into the garrets, while the rubbish and inferior furniture were thrown before the doors into the street in the utmost disorder, when the plunderers came they concluded the houses had already been gutted by their companions, and thus rushed to a scene of mere promise, bearing away, perhaps, some trifles which would not escape their avidity.
Berlin, Nov. 10.
It is impossible to describe the activity and persevering spirit displayed by the grand staff, that no part of Germany, not even the conquered provinces, shall have any thing to complain of on the part of the French soldiers.
The general commanding at Berlin has repeated the order to all French soldiers, to demand any thing of their hosts beyond what the regulation allows. It is in like manner forbidden to the soldiers in barracks to take any provisions of the inhabitants, the magistrates being amply provided. In fact, the arrival of the French in Berlin was so sudden and unexpected, that there was not time to think of emptying the military magazines, and the French have therefore found them untouched. The arsenal was so stored with arms and ammunition, that enough had been taken out to load twelve batteries, with mortars, carbines, bayonets and mortars, which have been shipped and sent to Spandau. In the hands of the French that place will become one of the strongest in Germany. Its fortifications are not considerable, but it is surrounded by the waters of several streams, which render it inaccessible. Military hospitals are now established in it, and thither all the wounded who were at Berlin are removed.
The capital enjoys perfect tranquility. An active and vigilant police establishment maintains good order. From the close of day until morning, companies of the grenadiers of the imperial guard, and other troops on foot and on horseback, patrol the city and look to the safety of persons and property. The hundred citizens who have retained their arms occupy particular posts entrusted to their care. M. De Chabons is named imperial commissary of the department of Magdeburg. Brigadier-general D'Augoult is arrived at head quarters.
It is thought that the emperor has deferred his journey into Poland for some days.
FROM THE WESER, November 18.
Every thing is quiet at Elsfleth and assurances have been received that the navigation of this river shall be uninterrupted. The greater part of the troops which entered Oldenburg have returned to East Friesland. In the city of Oldenburg there are only from 80 to 100 men remaining. The gates and the castle are under the guard of Oldenburg soldiers, as formerly.

NEW YORK, January 29.
By the arrival of the schooner Enter-prise, in 11 days from Bermuda, we learn that his Britannic majesty's frigate Cam-bridge, the Bermuda sloop of war, and the gun brig Irvin, have captured and sent in to Bermuda, the following American ves-sels: Ship Titus from Bordeaux for Philadelphia; brig Henry and Francis, from Cadiz, for New York; hermophro-dite brig Cyrus, from the Havana for Philadelphia; brig Virginia, from a bye port in France, for Norfolk; ship Cicero, from Vera Cruz, for Philadelphia; ship Eliza, from the Isle of France for New-Port; schooner Intrepid from Bor-deaux for Philadelphia; schooner Aspasia, from Cayenne, for New York, and the British brig Unicorn, from Jamaica for St. Domingo.—The sloop Paragon, Dickerson, master, has been seized at Ber-muda.
FRANKFORT, January 8.
General Woolock, who commands the detachment of militia, now on duty at the falls of Ohio, has arrested Messrs. Tho-mas M. Winn and Samuel N. Luckett, both of Jefferson county, on suspicion of being concerned in colonel Burr's expedi-tion. Four boats which they were prepar-ing to send off, have been detained, and themselves bound in a recognizance by judge Ormsby, to appear at the next cir-cuit court, the former in the sum of 5000 dollars, and the latter in 10,000 dollars. Another boat, found on the Indian side of the Ohio, and supposed to belong to Davis Lloyd, has also been detained.
General Winlock repaired to Louisville on the 26th ultimo, and possibly asserts that no boats or other craft have passed the Falls since that time without examina-tion.
Captain Samuel Phillips, of Jefferson county, informs the general that he passed col Burr on the 31st ultimo, at an en-campment near the mouth of Cumberland river, where it is conjectured he is en-deavoring to collect his troops and provi-sions.
It is reported that col. Burr has three or four hundred men assembled at his en-campment. If the latter should be his whole force at that place, colonel Ram-sey, of Livingston county, is authorised by the executive to call out state compa-nies of militia, to give a good account of him. Col. R. it is expected would be rea-dy to act by the 2d inst.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.
We have received New Orleans papers to the 1st of January. They contain no articles of interest, except a long address to the public by Edward Livingston, vin-dicating himself against the charge of im-plication in Burr's conspiracy, made by general Wilkinson. The address closes with the following affidavit:
Edward Livingston, of the city of New Orleans, counsellor at law, being duly sworn on the Holy Evangelist of Almighty God, doth depose, that he hath never had any communication, written or verbal, direct or indirect, with Aaron Burr, or any other person whom he knows or has reason to suspect, to be concerned with him in the plans now said to be carrying on, hostile to the union, laws or constitu-tion of the United States, relative to any such plans, and that he is utterly ignorant of the existence of any such schemes, on the part of the said Aaron Burr, or his adherents, except from the public papers, the communication of general Wilkinson, and the public report.
(Signed) EDW. LIVINGSTON. Sworn this 26th day of December, 1806, before me, DOM. A. HALL, District Judge of the U. S. for the Orleans district.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3.
We have this day completed our selection of the most important articles by the Cato. It is not to be supposed that all our readers will have either the leisure or inclination to CHALK OUT the present position of the "Grand Army." And as the great transactions of the powers of Europe must, either immediately or re-motely, interest the people of this country—and feeling, ourselves, no small desire to know exactly the extent of French operations, we have attempted to point out, and fix the attention on the front which the Gallic legions at this moment presents to astonished Eastern
Europe. We say Eastern, being convinced that the Western regions of continental Eu-rope are irretrievably lost.
In the middle of December, after having with unparalleled rapidity, overrun, and li-terally RAN DOWN Prussia, we find the French army posted along the right bank of the Oder, right foot on the frontier of Poland, with two left, on tiptoe, anxiously expecting one short sentence from their chief. When Napoleon cries "forward march," can we hope that they will halt on this side St. Petersburg or Constantinople? Will all Poland, as a settle-ment for Murat or for Jerome, satisfy the IN-SATISFIABLE ambition of this all-conquering war-rior? Has Europe, has the whole Eastern world, yet atoned for the aberrations & crimes with which France has been pleased to charge them?

Left wing (mediating a blow at Russia) extended towards Thorn; this place the Poles were plundered of by Prussia, in 1798, it is 105 miles N. W. from Warsaw, the capital of Poland.
Centre.—At Posen, or Posania, a consider-able town in Great Poland, also stolen from the Poles by Prussia. Posen has a strong cas-tle, and is a Bishop's See, 127 miles W. from Warsaw.
Right wing, was established on the borders of Silesia, watching, no doubt, the move-ments of the Austrians; as there is an Aus-trian army of 80,000 men in Bohemia which the French have ordered to full back, declar-ing, that "if these troops are not withdrawn from Bohemia, it shall be deemed a declara-tion of war" on the part of Austria!

SENATE UNITED STATES. JANUARY 13, 1807.
MR. BARARD, from the committee to whom was referred the memorial of the Chesapeake and Delaware canal company, praying the protection and aid of congress, presented on the 28th of Ja-nuary, 1806, with the documents ac-companying the same and the report of a committee of the Senate thereon, REPORTED,
That having examined the said memorial and documents and considered the report of the committee of the senate, made at the last session of congress, and finding the said report to contain a state-ment of the material facts relative to the subject of the said memorial; and approv-ing of the resolution proposed by the com-mittee, referring to the said report as a part of this report, they recommend the adoption of the resolution offered to the senate, by the former committee.
IN SEN- ATE OF THE U. STATES, Mr. Logan, from the committee to whom was referred, the memorial of the 23d January last, rectors of the Chesapeake and Delaware canal company made REPORT—
That it appears that a co- been incorporated and established any has current acts of the legislatures of con-sylvania, Delaware, and Maryland, the purpose of cutting a canal across the isthmus separating the waters of the Dela-ware and Chesapeake bays. The capital of the company consists of two thousand six hundred shares, and two hundred dol-lars constitute a share. The sum of con-sequency, contemplated to complete the work, is five hundred and twenty thou-sand dollars. Of this sum nearly four hundred thousand dollars have been sub-scribed by individuals, and between five and six hundred shares remain unsubscrib-ed for.
The site of the canal has been fixed, and its embouchures established at Welch point on the Elk river, and Mendenhall's ferry on Christiana creek. It is intended to furnish a navigation to vessels drawing upwards of seven feet water. The work has been commenced, and a canal to sup-ply the necessary water to the main canal, has been opened from the head waters of the Elk river, nearly to the line of the route of the grand canal. This canal com-municates with populous and productive tracts of country in the three states of Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Mary-land, and is calculated for barge naviga-tion.
The length of the main canal, as the route has been established, is twenty-one miles, and the expence of cutting it is estimated at twenty-five thousand dollars a mile.
The committee are of opinion, that the work designed to be accomplished by the Chesapeake and Delaware canal company, is one of great interest and importance, not only to the three states, whose laws have incorporated the company, but gene-rally to the U. S. By opening the pro-posed communication between the two bays, the safe inland navigation of twenty one miles, supplies the place of a circuit-ous and exposed navigation of five hun-dred. The large tracts of country in Vir-ginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey, connected with the wa-ters of the bays, will be furnished with a safe water communication, and will im-mediately feel the great benefit of the work. In the event of a war, the facility, celerity, safety and cheapness, in the trans-portion of troops, and ordnance, and military stores, from remote parts of the U. S. present an object of sufficient magnitude to interest the general govern-ment in the undertaking. The import-ance, however, of the proposed canal, tho' great in itself, is not justly appreciated by considering it as a separate work; it must be viewed as the basis of a vast scheme of interior navigation, connecting the waters of the lakes with those of the most south-ern states, a plan certainly within the compass of industry and art, and if be-yond the present means, unquestionably within the growing resources of the coun-try.
The following statement and illustration of the plan, the committee have extracted from the memorial, furnishing a correct view of the subject, well deserving the se-rious consideration of the senate.
"It is easy, however, to see, by ex-aminining any map of the U. S. that this ex-tent may be carried much further. To the southward, the canal through the Dismal Swamp, now in execution, will open the communication to the waters of Albemarle sound, and from thence through the inlets to South Carolina and Georgia. To the northward, a communication is now nearly opened from Albany, up the Mohawk ri-ver, to lake Ontario, and all the upper lakes; if a similar one be made from the Hudson river to lake Champlain, it will extend the navigation to Quebec. And to the eastward, if the pass from Buzzard's to Boston bay be opened, which has been contemplated, it will in like manner extend it to Boston and all the coast of Massachu-setts. Thus, with opening only a few short passes, of which the Chesapeake & Delaware canal is the great and prelimina-ry one, a communication may be made nearly free from all the dangers of the o-cean, along the whole coast of the United States."
The committee are of opinion, that it is among the first duties of a govern-ment to promote public improvements of a general nature. No works deserve the character of public improvements more than canals. The one proposed by the memorialists is of the first magnitude and importance; it, therefore well deserves both the assistance and encouragement of the government. Considering that a large capital has been subscribed; that an ex-pensive part of the work is nearly com-pleted; that probably without the counte-nance and aid of the government, the work will cease, to the loss of a number of pub-lic spirited individuals and the destruction of a great public improvement; it is the opinion of the committee, that aid ought to be granted to the memorialists.
It is inconvenient at this moment, to raise money from the treasury, the United States have it in their power to contribute the assistance prayed for, by a grant of land, or the grant may be either gratuitous and to credit the United States with shares of their stock, equal to the proceeds of the land, at the established rate of $200 for each share.
The committee, therefore, submit the following resolution.
Resolved, That acres of land be granted to the Chesapeake and Delaware canal company, upon their giving bond, conditioned to transfer to the United States, a number of the shares of the capital stock of said company at the rate of two hundred dollars a share, equal to the proceeds of sales of the land granted to them and conditioned to sell the said land within years, and furnish to the secretary of the treasury a true ac-count of the sales."
