NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
ON Saturday last, a negro man riding a dark IRON GRAY MARE, about six or seven years old, about fourteen hands and a half high, with two white spots near the root of her tail, with a snaffle bridle having a plated bit, and a leather collar with a piece of rope attached to it, on her, in attempting to cross the Potomack river at Barns's ford below Shepherd's-Town, where the subscriber resides, in consequence of the river being too high to ford, fell off in the river and was afterwards seen swimming or floating down the river; upon being disengaged from her rider the mare returned to the Virginia shore, and was taken up by the subscriber, any person owning the mare, bridle, &c. may have them again by applying to the subscriber and paying him for his expence and trouble with her.

COPENHAGEN, Augt. 20.
Since the landing of the English upwards of twenty spies have already been apprehended, some dressed as peasants and others in women's clothes. Yesterday the English commenced in the road to bombard the Castle and Three Crown Battery. The bombs are of the same description as those on the 2d April, 1801; most of them burst in the air.
Our fleet of bomb vessels were out this morning, and have done them considerable mischief. We are in high spirits, and entertain no doubt of their being defeated.
They were allowed to land undisturbed, in order to surround and destroy them.
DENMARK, Augt. 20.
The Prince Royal has given orders rather to burn the fleet, in case of extremity, than to suffer them to fall into the hands of the enemy. When Mr. Jackson, it is said, gave him twelve hours to take his final resolution, he did not employ so many seconds in positively rejecting his propositions.
DRESDEN, Augt. 23.
It is reported here, on what is believed to be good authority, that the French marshal Ney will be appointed commander in chief of the whole Saxon army; which army will be entirely new organized.
DOMESTIC NEWS.
Fredericksburg, October 21.
On Monday at twelve o'clock, the house formerly belonging to Mrs. Carter, in this town, was discovered to be on fire. The corps of Mr. Wm. Stansard, the more recent proprietor, had not been sent to its earthly home, when a sick and mourning family were driven by a new calamity, with the remains of a parent and a husband, from the solicitude of their sorrows, to weep under the next hospitable roof, over their complicated misfortunes.
The house was on an eminence, and a strong wind from the North West blew the flames into the body of the town. In the course of a few hours, three of the best improved squares, with parts of two others, were stripped of all their improvements. The rapidity of the horrors of its devastation through houses highly combustible from the operation of the late drought—the consternation that prevailed, destroying concert and presence of mind, in most of those who were laboriously active, the incompetency of the engines to perform their office with full effect, prevented many of the sufferers from saving a great proportion of their moveable property. The upper tobacco warehouse, with all the tobacco stored, were consumed. A pile of burning matter was thrown on the roof of the bank house, which stood at the distance of two streets from the general conflagration, and so furious was the progress of the flame, that all the books, papers and money in the vaults, were of necessity exposed during the whole of the fire to its action, but have since been recovered entire. Happily no human life was lost.
This awful affliction has bereft many families, some in disease, at the entrance of winter, of their only shelters and of their all. The woes of the comfless and of the suffering which pervades a greater part of Fredericksburg, calls aloud for contribution from the opulent. The inhabitants of this town were lately liberal in their relief, to the wretched of Norfolk. A plan has been organized to furnish the benevolent of the sister town in Virginia, and of the neighboring country, with an opportunity of enjoying that luxury which a pure boom feels in giving charity where merit and distress combine to claim it.
On the next day a public meeting was held, when it was resolved to open a general subscription for the relief of the suffering, and committees appointed in Fredericksburg, and the towns and adjacent counties of Virginia, to receive contributions. John Mason and Daniel Brent are the committees appointed for Washington and George-town.
PHILADELPHIA, October 19.
We are much gratified to hear, that the Emperor of all the Russias, has presented to Peter Dobell, Esq. of Canton, formerly of Philadelphia, an elegant casket, containing a diamond ring, of immense value, as an acknowledgment for services and civilities rendered by
Mr. Dobell to a Russian circumnavigator, who put into Canton.
This magnificent testimony of royal beneficence, is now in the possession of a gentleman of this city.
Baltimore, October 20.
The Baltimore Brigade of Volunteers, consisting of the
5th regiment, commanded by Col. Mackenheimer, 6th do. Blays, 27th do. Lowry, 39th do. Mosher.
The whole under the command of Brigadier General Stricker, was yesterday reviewed at Wheatstone-Point, about a mile from this city, by Gov. Wright, commander in chief of the militia in Maryland.
The whole number under arms is supposed to amount to about 2,200 men, completely equipped, of which there were four troops of horse, two excellent companies of artillery, and five of riflemen. The whole made a most grand and beautiful appearance; and, when it is considered, that four months since there was not a single organized company in this city, and that by far the greater part of the men, as well as the officers, were entirely unacquainted with military tactics, it must be acknowledged their manœuvres were astonishingly correct.
The day was very unfavorable for the review. On Sunday there was an appearance of rain, but yesterday morning came on a strong gale from the North West, which, while it chilled by its excessive coldness, raised prodigious columns of dust, and rendered the situation as well of the volunteers as the spectators, most uncomfortable. This however did not impede the exercises of the day, which continued until about four o'clock in the afternoon, when the line of march was taken up, and the whole brigade entered into the city amidst the approbation and plaudits of thousands of spectators.
BALTIMORE, October 26.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Bourdeaux, to his father in this city, dated September 8, 1807.
"The emperor of France leaves no stone unturned to ruin Great Britain. There are at present no less than 100,000 men marching through this place on their way to Portugal. I think Spain is included in their project; and shall be much surprised if the present king is not dethroned. It appears that Lucien is to be King of Navarre, which will comprehend Biscay, Navarre and Catalonia; Portugal to be given to Spain in lieu. It will not end there."

LIBERTY and INDEPENDENCE. State of Hayti.
Order of the day of the army.
August 24, 1807—4th year.
The ceremony of the palace is in addressing yourself to his excellency the president, to give him the title of My Lord; the same title is also to be used when writing to him.
His excellency the president announces to the army the arrival of news from Europe the most happy for the state of Hayti; and he has selected from it the following extract of an official dispatch addressed to the Government.
"I announce to you officially that the British government recognizes his excellency the president Henry Christophe for the chief of the government of Hayti, and that it is determined to contribute to aid and establish his supremacy."
Great quantities of powder, muskets, cartouch boxes, woollen cloth, hats, and articles of equipment of every kind, are daily arriving within our ports; and the government has the satisfaction to see that its solicitude and its efforts for the equipment of the army are crowned with the most complete success; it will attend, in a few days, to fulfilling all its wants of that description.
Done at head quarters at the Cape, 24th of August, 1807—4th year of independence.

NORFOLK, October 19.
On Saturday the examination of the witnesses before the Court of Inquiry, held on board the Chesapeake, commenced. Four of the officers were examined, but considering ourselves restricted from publishing any part of the testimony, we shall only observe, that the proceedings of the court were conducted with great candor and decorum. The witnesses
give very clear, and as far as we could judge, very impartial testimony.
Capt. Steel, of the ship Aurora, arrived at Portugal in 68 days from Amsterdam, informs, that the misunderstanding between the United States and England, had created much alarm among the Americans and merchants in Holland, who were concerned in trade with this country. The shippers of goods fearing that a war would take place between the two countries, their property would of course be exposed to English privateers.
Several American vessels have sailed in ballast.
Recent advice state Copenhagen to be in a very respectable posture of defence, the Dunes having turned the flank of the English with 10,000 regulars besides militia: A battle was expected. The English have been opposed with spirit and ability on the side of the water. The British force landed and by which Copenhagen is invested, is said to be 30,000 men, and the capital of Denmark is represented to have not more than 10 days provisions.
From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
To the Citizens of the United States.
Having expressed my dislike to war, such as that which continues to be advocated by some classes among us, I am bound to state my objections, those in particular which arise from the subject in dispute. If Great Britain claimed a right to search our ships of war, those ships which represent the sovereignty of the people, I should deem it our duty to fight, as our fathers have done, because we should again be fighting for our independence and sovereignty as a nation. But England, as we are told, disavows all claim to search our ships of war. Cases might doubtless occur in which she would be justified in reclaiming her subjects, not by force but by negotiation. If a British sailor, for instance, should desert from one of their ships of war and get protection on board of an American ship, in presence of his rightful commander, this might be deemed a breach of neutrality, or an attempt to injure the belligerent power from whom he deserted, and would be a proper subject of complaint. We know that churches, in some countries, are respected as sanctuaries for culprits, but we complain, with great propriety, of those people who give protection to wilful murder in their churches. The right of searching our ships of war being disclaimed, we are to consider whether we can be justified in going to war, for the sake of preventing our merchant vessels from being searched for deserters of any kind. I believe it is not a maxim in our government, that we should, in all cases, encourage British seamen to forsake the service of that nation, when it is at war, and protect them on board our trading ships. There certainly would be no wisdom in a measure of that kind, for our own commerce should be the nursery of native seamen. We have ever been in the practice of giving protection to sailors who are citizens. From this, it is to be presumed, that sailors found on board our merchant vessels, without protections, may be reclaimed by the nation to which they belong. When I speak of protections, I shall possibly be told, and it may be said with the utmost truth, that American sailors are frequently impressed or claimed by British officers without any respect for their protections. This has been the subject of numerous complaints. But we are bound to consider that the man who comes into court, seeking for justice, should come with clean hands. The villainous and base conduct of certain public notaries and deposition mongers, in some of our great ports, has rendered the very face of a protection suspicious. There are men who for a dollar will administer the oath of citizenship to a man whose uncouth foreign dialect announces his perjury; and those swearing men by profession, whose oath of knowledge is to be purchased for half that sum. It is known that a large cradle has been made, in which a foreigner is rocked for half a minute, and then an old woman comes forward and swears that she has known him ever since he was rocked in the cradle. Tricks of this kind may be laughed at. They come under the head of custom-house oaths. But I question whether we could go to war, with a clear conscience, in defence of such measures. We should amply deserve the punishment that would befall us, if we did. We have not hitherto adopted a method of preventing the dishonest practices of giving protection to foreigners, neither has it been possible to prevent British
officers, on many occasions, from impressing sailors who were clearly Americans. Neither of these violations can be justified, nor is it true that we alone are injured. We know that the safety, or rather the very existence of Great Britain, depends on the service of her seamen, our commerce can be managed without them. Both nations have some reason to complain, but those injuries should be redressed or prevented by negotiation, not by war. Let us suppose, however, as some of our fellow citizens allege, that we are the only injured party; it will then be our duty to enquire how much it will cost us to prevent the repetition of such injuries. Whether it is clear that we can obtain redress by war; and whether the object of dispute may not be obtained without the loss of blood and treasure.
AGRICOLA.
From the VIRGINIA GAZETTE.
To his Excellency Brigadier General James Wilkinson.
SIR, When once the chain of infamy grapples to a Knave, every new link creates a fresh sensation of detestation and horror. As it gradually or precipitately unfolds itself, we behold in each succeeding connection, and arising from the same corrupt & contaminated source, the same base and degenerate conduct. I could not have supposed, that you would have completed the catalogue of your crimes, adding to the guilt of treachery, forgery, and perjury, the accomplishment of cowardice. But every succeeding day presents you in a new light to the public, and plunges you still deeper in crime and ignominy.
Having failed in two different attempts, to procure an interview with you, such as no gentleman of honor could refuse, I have only to pronounce and publish you to the world as a COWARD and POLTROON.
One word more before I take my leave... This is a critical moment in the life of your Excellency. Your reputation is gone for ever, and your life totters on the verge of dissolution. As you cannot pretend to the esteem of any man living, you should have sought a momentary reputation in the applause of even your enemies. You should have been BRAVE, and died like a man. Your enemies would then have forgotten the wrongs you had done them:—Your Country would have been appeased, and even JUDAS forgiven. You should have considered that there is some small merit, in even a Villain's bravery; it was all you were supposed to possess this side the grave. You should have made much of it: it might have served to wipe away some portion of the stain which your treachery & timidity have fixed upon your character.

MORTUARY.
On the 22d instant, departed this life, in the 56th year of his age, Captain BENJAMIN STROTHER, at his seat in Jefferson County, a gentleman highly esteemed for "all the tender charities of life," both in a domestic and social point of view: The succeeding day, his remains were deposited in the silent mansions of the Tomb, amidst the presence of his very respectful Friends and Relatives.
How sleeps the just, who slants to rest With all endearing wishes blest; The billows pass'd, his voyage is o'er, And landed on the peaceful shore, Where cares and grief no more remain, Since "Death in victory now is slain."
A gentleman just from Baltimore, informs, that the sloop of war Revenge, (lately sent to England with dispatches respecting the capture of the Chesapeake) had returned to that city.
The honorable Samuel W. Dana, lately appointed to represent the state of Connecticut in the Senate of the United States, has declined the appointment, and the honorable Chauncy Goodrich has been appointed in his place.
The following intelligence is from Louisville, (Ken.) September 13.
"Yesterday Davis Floyd was found guilty of a misdemeanor by the Circuit Court of the Indiana Territory, held at Jeffersonville on a charge of the United

States, as concerned with Aaron Burr in his late treasonable expedition. It is expected the Court will pronounce their sentence this day. The honourable Judges Davis and Taylor presided.
The President of the U. States has issued a Proclamation bearing date the 15th October, whereby a full pardon is granted to all deserters from the army of the United States, who may think proper to return within four months from the date thereof.
From the National Intelligencer.
WASHINGTON CITY,
Monday, October 26.
Congress meet this day on the extraordinary call of the Executive. The interesting events which have recently occurred have excited the public expectation to an unusual pitch; and there is every reason to think that this expectation will be fully satisfied during the ensuing session. For a crisis in the affairs of our country has undoubtedly arrived which calls for decisive measures. Should the wanton aggressions committed on our rights and the insults offered to our national character be unredressed, the American spirit cannot, will not rest satisfied. What course shall be pursued will rest with the wisdom of the Representative body. To them exclusively the Constitution assigns the high power of declaring war, of granting letters of marque and reprisal, of raising and supporting armies, and of providing and maintaining a navy. To the same body is likewise assigned the power of regulating commerce with foreign nations, and of laying and collecting duties, imports and excises.
Whether the former or the latter of these means of coercing our enemy will, in such an event, be pursued; whether the violated honor of the nation shall require a direct resort to war, or shall seek a surer reparation through the medium of commercial regulation or restriction, or a total non-intercourse, it will rest with the immediate representatives of the people, and of the state governments to pronounce. It is fortunate, at a crisis so solemn, when the measures taken may have ultimate effects of the greatest consequence, that the voice of the people will be clearly expressed by representatives, recently chosen, and who may be therefore presumed unequivocally to speak their sentiments. These sentiments have been already on one point audibly expressed by the people. Ad unanimity, almost without parallel, has manifested their indignation and their determination to have reparation. They have not, however, but in a very few cases, undertaken even to recommend that course of measures which it will be the policy of this country to adopt, provided the temper of Britain shall be hostile. This has been most properly left to the government, and especially the legislative department, which will not only possess the means of forming a correct judgment, but likewise from its organization be more competent, dispassionately, to weigh the interests of the country and deliberately select those instruments either of offence or defence which events and a sound policy shall require. Nothing can be more absurd or ill-founded than the charges made on the other side of the ocean against the conduct of the American people on this occasion. Outrageous as were the insults we received and the wrongs inflicted upon us, the sensation they produced, though deep, was calm and solemn. Not an instance of turbulence or riot marked the effervescence of the public mind through the wide extent of the union. Its feelings were, it is true, plainly and forcibly expressed; but altogether unmixed with any dictation to the government, which was, and still is, left free to adopt such measures as it shall deem best. A different course might have been pursued without the least encroachment of public opinion on the legitimate powers of the government. For it is the prerogative of every American citizen unreservedly to express his opinion of public men and public measures; not only to approve or condemn what is done, but to recommend, as forcibly as reason and fact can urge them, such measures as he thinks best for his country; and it is the duty of the government, whenever such expression clearly announces the national will, to obey it. But although this is the prerogative of every American, although it is the indefeasible right of a republican, yet, in this instance, such has been the singular, and we will say the illustrious display of circumspection, and of confidence in the wisdom and virtue of the constituted au-
thorities, that there has been almost universal forbearance to suggest any definite measures of redress. No doubt was entertained, nor is any doubt entertained by the people, of the competency of their representatives to adopt what shall be best, and it may not be going too far to say that there are few men in the union that would not, were the alternative offered to them, rather that the government should decide than themselves.
Latest proceedings in the TRIAL of Colonel A. BURR.
Thursday was wholly occupied by Mr. Wickham.
Friday was wholly occupied by Mr. M'Rae.
On Saturday, a Mr. Power from New Orleans (who turned out to be a subject of the King of Spain) was introduced by Col. Burr as a witness; by whom (as he asserted) he intended to authenticate certain papers, and to prove that General Wilkinson was in the habit of receiving money from the Spanish government. The avowed object of establishing this charge against the general was to impeach his credibility by contradicting some parts of his testimony, and to show that his motive for defeating the project of Burr was not patriotism, but to prevent an invasion of the territories of the King in whose pay he was himself.
The Chief Justice decided that the evidence was admissible, and that Mr. Power should be examined. He was therefore sworn, and questioned as to what he knew concerning certain correspondence between the Baron de Carondelet and Gen. Wilkinson.
Mr. Power addressed the court with respect but firmness, and declared that, being a subject of the king of Spain, he could not, without violating his duty and honor, give an account of any political transactions which the service of the king his master required to be concealed. He stated that he had come hither from N. Orleans with great reluctance, an agent of Col. Burr who served a subpoena upon him, having threatened him with imprisonment in case he refused; but he hoped the court would not compel him to give the evidence which had been demanded.
The counsel for Col. Burr insisted that, whether he was a Spanish subject or not, he was now within the power of the court, and ought to be compelled to disclose whatever he knew.
The Chief Justice decided in their favor, and required the witness to proceed with his testimony.
Mr. Power, however, resolutely refused. Time was therefore allowed until 3 o'clock to consider whether he would obey the Judge or not. At that hour he came again into court; but, (Mr. Wirt being then engaged in speaking) no notice was taken of his appearance.
Mr. Wirt began his discourse between 12 and 1 o'clock, but had not finished when the hour of adjournment arrived. His speech, so far as he progressed, shone with his usual fire of eloquence, and was peculiarly luminous in argument.
The court adjourned till Monday, ten o'clock.
MORNING, Oct. 19.—Twelve o'clock. Nearly the whole of this day was occupied by Mr. Wirt, who concluded his able speech about two o'clock, after which Mr. Power and Mr. Swartwout were again called and examined. The evidence and arguments of counsel having been concluded, the court adjourned till this day (Tuesday) eleven o'clock, when it is understood the final opinion of the Chief Justice will be delivered.
Twelve o'clock. The court has just delivered a long and elaborate opinion, in which it determines, that "it would be improper to commit the accused on the charge of treason."
The conclusion of the opinion is as follows: "I shall commit Aaron Burr and Herman Blannerhasset for preparing and providing the means for a military expedition against the territories of a foreign prince with whom the U. S. were at peace. If those whose province and duty it is to prosecute offenders against the laws of the U. States shall be of opinion that a crime of a deeper dye has been committed, it is not their choice to act in conformity with that opinion. Israel Smith is not proved to have provided or prepared any means whatever and therefore I shall not commit him. If he has really offended against the laws, he may be prosecuted, for the treason in Kentucky, or for the misdemeanor in his own state, where, if any where, his offence has been committed."
Mr. Hay moved to have A. B. and H. B. committed for trial in the District of Ohio.
After the delivery of the opinion of the Court, on Tuesday, the Chief Justice observed, that he had not specified (in that opinion) the particular district to which the prisoners were to be committed. He thought it best that there should be only one trial for them; but if Burr was sent to Kentucky, Blannerhasset could not, because he had provided no means for the expedition but in the district of Ohio.
Mr. Hay then moved for their commitment to Ohio, which was ordered.
Mr. Wickham then moved for an attachment against Mr. Benjamin Hawkins, an Indian agent, for detaining Dr. Cummings, a witness in this prosecution, and breaking open certain papers in his care belonging to Mr. Blannerhasset, one of the accused: a rule ordered.
Messrs. Burr and Blannerhasset were admitted to bail, in the sum of 3,000 dollars each. Luther Martin and Dr. Cummings, securities for Aaron Burr; Dr. Cummings and Israel Smith, for H. Blannerhasset.
The court then adjourned till their court in course.
Richmond Enquirer.
Several of the British prints in announcing the arrival of the Revenge, state the existence of a rumour that the American government had required an answer to their representations within four days, and deduce from this circumstance their anti-pacific temper. It may be satisfactory to state that this rumour is altogether unfounded. No such demand has been made, nor has any definite time been prescribed for receiving an answer. It is true that a prompt answer is expected and there can be no doubt, but that if the British ministry wish to maintain a peace between the two countries, a prompt answer will be given. [Nat. Int.]
A proclamation from the Danish government has the following important conclusion:
"If the English carry their baseness so far as to attack our coasts, they will find the same courage and devotion in our citizens, as they experienced in 1801. France, Russia, and all Europe will hasten to our aid."
LONGEVITY.
DIED, at Adams, (Perkshire county, Massachusetts,) on the 10th ult. Mr. J. Peters aged 107 years. He had enjoyed an uncommon share of health, strength and activity, and was in possession of all his faculties entire, the very moment that terminated his existence.
At Schenectady, (N. Y.) Mrs. Elizabeth Covins, in the 104th year of her age. In her we have an instance of a person not more remarkable for longevity, than for the retention of her faculties. She read without spectacles until her death, and but two years ago she entered the field and mowed grass with a scythe.
EXTRACT.
It is an incontestable truth, that the faculties of the human mind are easily perverted by education, or false opinions. Yet such is the innate principle of the soul, we cannot but consider the credulity of some of our species with astonishment. Even those who may be ranked amongst the wisest of men have been addicted to absurdities, and all are distinguished for certain peculiarities.
It is unnecessary to launch out into metaphysical argumentation on the cause of those contrarieties which render man a curious composition.
Indeed such a proceeding borders on impiety; for why question the immutability appointment of Him whose wisdom formed, and whose omnipotence rules the great stupendous whole? On surveying the harmony displayed in the works of creation, our minds are impressed with sublime ideas, and the soul expands with awful love. Reflecting on our own nothingness, proud imagination dies within us, and we become of course all humility. Frail creatures as we are, we should not, however, implicitly adopt the opinion of the multitude. Such a compliance is no less characteristic of a weak mind, than dangerous, because infatuation is generally the mistress of popular opinions and actions. How then are we to extricate ourselves from the maze of surrounding errors? How! by summoning up a virtuous courage, a magnanimous resolution, a calm exertion of reason, and a firm compliance with the dictates of true religion; not that religion which is embraced by this or that
sect, to the utter expulsion of others; but to the religion of the gospel, which explicitly says, "you cannot serve God and mammon." Resting on this rock, will be to shun the sands of credulity. We, who are now acting our several parts on the stage of life, are hastening off space; it is therefore our duty not only to prepare for eternity, but endeavour to secure wisdom, virtue, and religion, to the rising generation! Our solicitude for the propagation of truth, unadulterated with credulity, cannot be better shown than in educating our children in such a manner as ultimately to establish them in virtue and piety. Our Creator hath made us reasonable beings, capable of attaining to a vast variety of matter; yet the soul may be said to come into the world unfurnished with knowledge. The powers of our nature would be instruments of madness, and run into a thousand pernicious errors, if we had not the happiness of being properly instructed. Hence the importance of training up children in the path of virtue and knowledge; in a steady adherence to the truths of the gospel, made so clear, the most simple can understand. Abiding by these will lead to happiness in this life, to a peace of conscience which will counteract the enmity of the world, and secure us a blest immortality.
