Perhaps there might be more. Mr. Ty- ler's party was about 40; and Mr. Floyd's about 30 or 40; so there were in all about 70 or 80. Q. How many men came with Mr. Burr to the mouth of Cumberland? A. I do not know. Mr. Wirt. Did Tyler's and Floyd's parties arrive there together? A. We got there first, by a few hours. Q. When did you arrive there? A. On the evening of the 26th December. Q. Had you a party, like Tyler & Floyd? A. There were a number of boats here, which I understood were colonel Burr's. Q. Did any thing occur to change your o- pinion of the object of this enterprize? A. The only ground of my ever changing my opinion, was, when I understood that the government designed to arrest colonel Burr.
Mr. Floyd. And do you think that men would have left the better part of the world to go and settle a wilderness? Why did you go? A. I made my calculations on this subject; Mr. Tyler and Mr. Smith had said that the object was the settlement of lands, which would be profitable.
Cross-Examined. Mr. Burr. How many guns were there in your boats? A. 5 rifles and one piece gun. Q. Did you get any more except at Blount's Island? A. None. Q. Did you ever see muskets and bayonets in those boats? A. No. Q. What was the construction of those boats? were they able to go up the stream? A. They were. Q. Did you ever see any boats that could go up the stream with them? A. I never saw the experiment tried. Q. Do you know whether I had a single man at the mouth of Cumberland with me, except Dunbar the pilot? A. I do not know him; nor how many were with you.
Mr. Burr here stated, that he had hired hands at Nashville to bring him down to the mouth of Cumberland. Mr. Burr. Were you present when I was introduced to the party? A. I was. When you were introduced you said you had intended going something to the west; but for cer- tain reasons of your own you had deferred it. Q. Did I say I had any secrets to dis- close? A. You did not. Q. Had you a reason to suspect that any of the party mediated hostility against the United States? A. Never. Q. What do you call the captain of a boat? is it not every man who stands at the helm? A. The way was to make him captain who was sup- posed to be the best waterman. Q. How new countries settled? is it not the way to send a party on before, to explore it and prepare for the reception of others? A. I never settled a new country; but I sup- pose that is the way.
Mr. Wirt. Av-1 that's an historical fact, for which we had better apply to the general records of nations. Q. Did you see any powder on Blount's Island? A. I saw a quarter cask with about 25 pounds of powder.
Mr. Burr. Did you use that continu- ally on the river? A. Those who chose did. Q. Did you know of any more pow- der on board the other boats? A. Not till lately. Mr. Burr. Were there not some kegs of biscuit? A. Yes. Q. Were there any bullets in barrels? A. All the bullets I saw were in cartridges on Blount's Island.
him I wished to pass through the country; he asked me if I had a passport, which I had not; after some time told me I had the appearance of a gentleman, and that he should suffer myself and boy to pass without further injury; but that there had been considerable alarms some time past, but he hoped and believed it was over. He then asked me to dine with him, which I did; after dinner I set out, down sea- board, about 4 miles, where I met with the principal commander; he receiv- ed me very politely, I remained with him 3 or 4 days, during which time we talked freely and openly with respect to the situ- ation of both countries. He is decidedly of opinion that a war must take place be- tween the two countries; that the Span- iards are only waiting for Bonaparte to get a little leisure, so that he can turn his attention to this country, and then they will take possession of Louisiana; that the Spaniards will enter into negotiations that will be binding upon them, but will insult, negotiate and insult, until Bona- parte is ready, and then him and the Span- iards can have a pretence to declare war. The French in this country are not, nor will they ever be attached to the Ameri- can government. They think it too weak and flimsy; indeed, it has that appearance here; they neither love nor respect the go- vernment, and he has not firmness enough to enforce either. They (I was informed by this commander) have petitioned Bona- parte to take them under his protection a- gain; that they were and would at all times be ready to join him; he answered that their wishes should be fulfilled, so soon as Europe was quiet; that he would strictly comply with every promise he had ever made to them, &c."

Extract of a letter from captain Williams, of the ship Friendship, of Salem, dated
"PALERMO July 12, 1807. "On my arrival, I found no encourage- ment either here or any where in the Me- diterranean. Naples is officially blockaded by his Neapolitan majesty, and also by the Russian government. Leghorn is overrun by Americans, and the markets totally glut- ted. Marseilles is still worse, their price- currents to the contrary notwithstanding; the captain of a Boston ship just arrived from there, informs me that white Havana sugars will not fetch more than 12 dol- lars in the gross, and will not net much over 9 dollars. There happened to be but two Americans here, one in ballast trying for freight; the other a Boston brig with sugar and coffee, taken attempting to get into Naples. Prices (Palermo) for clayed sugars, 12 dollars, Havana brown 11 dol- lars, ditto white 14 to 15 dollars, coffee 34 cents and upwards, if good (these prices are clear of duties and charges, except com- mission and landing); pepper and tea, no price. The markets throughout the Me- diterranean are glutted with nearly every thing; nankins may be excepted, which at Leghorn or here would sell quick & at fine prices. Acapulco fish could scarcely be given away. You can hardly form an idea of the difficulties attending the Mediterranean trade at this time; we are not allowed, ei- ther by the English or the Russians, to go from one enemy's port to another; there are now 30 sail of American vessels at Mal- ta condemned and under trial; out of Malta they have from 50 to 60 privateers; out of Gibraltar 22, and this island abso- lutely swarms with Russian privateers; a- mong the captured vessels at Malta, I can hear of no Salem vessel but the barque Georgetown captain Henry Prince.
This morning the captain of a Neapoli- tan frigate arrived from his ship off Na- ples, in his boat, and brings an account of their frigate taking two American ships both loaded with sugar, one from Mar- seilles belonging to Boston, and the other I am sorry to say, the ship Alfred, captain Joseph Foss of Salem; they were carried into the island of Porza belonging to the king of Naples. The business from port to port in this sea is totally stopped, particularly from Marseilles and Leghorn to Gallipoli. The English have taken se- venteen American vessels loaded with oil, several of them bound to London but had previously been to two enemy's ports. I have just heard of the capture of another American ship off Naples, by an English privateer from Malta.

RAN AWAY , some time in the months of November or Dec. last, a negro man by the name of SAM , who was hired in the town of Alexandria to a Mr. Robert Smith. He was about 30 years of age, about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, very straight, of rather a yellowish or tany complexion, stutters a little, has a soft voice and generally seems humble and timid when spoken to. He had a wife at col. Jemmerson's in the county of Caroline, and may perhaps be lurking in that neighborhood, but I think it more probable he may have gone to the state of Maryland. If taken in the state of Virginia and brought to me I will give the above reward; if in the state of Maryland and brought to me I will give 30 dollars reward.

GREAT BARGAINS.
INTENDING to remove to the state of Tennessee as soon as possible, I wish to dispose of the following valuable and increas- ing property upon low terms, which property I inherited from my ancestors, who have had a legal title to the same for upwards of one hundred years.
One tract well known by the name of ABINGDON , being on the Potomac river between Alexandria and George Town, and nearly opposite the city of Washington, beau- tifully situated, containing about Four Hun- dred acres, now leased to the Mr. Wises for three hundred and sixty dollars per annum, with other stipulations contained in the said lease.
One other tract contiguous to the first, leased to William Fraser for forty dol- lars per annum, containing about sixty a- cres.
One other tract containing ten acres of bottom land, adjoining the Four Mile Mill tract.
One other tract contiguous to the Abingdon estate, and within two and a half miles of George Town, containing 725 acres. The greatest part of this land is heavily co- vered with red and white Oak.
Three thousand acres on the Sciota River, in the state of Ohio.
This tract descended to me from my uncle George D. Alexander, being one moiety of the land he was entitled to for his military ser- vices during the revolutionary war. All the title papers with the wills under which I am entitled to the above property, are in the hands of BALDWIN DADE , Esq. to whom ap- plication will please to be made for terms &c. he being legally authorised to contract and dispose of all the above valuable property, for which good and satisfactory titles will be given.
