CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
December 13.
Mr. Dana observed that laws had been made for the purpose of having a part of Long Island sound, and some of the coast of North-Carolina surveyed; the object as it respects the coast of North-Carolina, has been entirely frustrated by the loss of the vessel in which the surveyors were. Both these surveys were important, but it is proper and necessary to take up the subject fully, and obtain a complete chart of our whole coast: the lives of our seamen, the interests of our merchants, and the public revenue, all require it.
Mr. Dana offered the following resolution: Resolved, that the committee of commerce and manufactures be instructed to enquire into the expediency of making provision by law for a survey of the coast of the United States, designating the islands, shoals, &c. within 20 leagues of the land.
In mentioning 20 leagues, Mr. Dana said he had reference to the treaty of
1783, which gives us all islands within 20 leagues of the shores.
Mr. Crowninshield. I'm very glad this resolution is brought forward. I wish however, it had been more extensive—there are some shoals which are nearly 40 leagues from the shore—George's shoals are more than that.
Mr. Dana. That may be done in the bill, should the resolution pass.
Mr. Crowninshield. I move the insertion of 50 instead of 20 leagues. I wish this alteration only on account of the shoals.
Mr. Dana. Will the gentleman designate WHAT shoals—it will be a hard task indeed to survey the Atlantic quite along the whole coast of the United States so many leagues from shore.
Mr. Crowninshield withdrew his motion—and the resolution was ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. Elliot rose—a sketch of his remarks follows:
I will presume for the honor of my country, that but one sentiment prevailed; that but one kind of feeling agitated the public mind, when what has been called the blockade of New-York by a small British force, and the atrocious murder of Pierce, took place—At that melancholy moment a dark cloud seemed to have overspread us, we were languid, useless, silent. What could we do? Few and feeble were the means the law gave the executive for redress; and feeble was the use made of those means.
I know not whether Pierce was a father, if so, I could wish his children might be educated at the public expense—Monument he needs not; we shall not forget the occasion nor the perpetrators of his murder—But, I intend not to pronounce his funeral eulogy; I have far greater objects in view.
At the time these things took place, and ever since, the question has been irresistibly forcing itself upon us; why have we not a navy to protect us against these or any other outrages? But, we have a navy: yes, we have the shadow and nothing but the shadow of one. We have wasted millions, sir, by reason of our economy, our excessive economy, and millions more, we shall I fear, waste by the same means, and still have no efficient navy. Two questions are of vast importance to us—shall we have a navy? If so, shall we not introduce a system of more energy, more efficiency. To these questions, I call the attention of the house. It is now full time for us to take a wide range of view, far more wide than heretofore. It is time for us to explode the narrow, ridiculous, and all destroying argument, of the unimportance of the other side of the globe to this country.—It is time that we should no longer the scorn of foreign nations; that we should have a navy, which from foreigners, and from the wicked wits of our own country, should deserve a title of more distinction than that of a Lilliputian navy.
It is time to change your system with respect to foreign politics. Let me not be misunderstood; I approve of the domestic proceedings of the executive, and the general policy pursued respecting foreign nations; but I consider a system of DEFENCE against foreign power, as most essential to our welfare, to our existence as a nation. It is in this respect I wish the system changed. Let us no longer keep up the mere shadow of defence. Let us have at least enough to command some respect.
But this subject must not be touched, lest the question be asked. Whom shall this navy oppose? and the answer is France.
What is the news from Europe? Prussia is fallen—she has fallen unpitied, yet covered with imperishable glory—Superior numbers, not superior cunning nor intrigue, destroyed her. On every sober principle of reason or analogy, I must say that our turn is next.
Prussia was ordered to give up a part of her territory; square we; and by whom? By a power known to be under the immediate control of France. The designs that were held against Prussia, are the same that are and were held against us. Little need be said to prove this.
I shall say nothing of certain documents that have gained celebrity from their inextricable secrecy. I shall say nothing of what they contain; but, I shall say much of what they do not contain.
I wish our masters, those we delight to honor, the People, could see these documents; could examine and judge for themselves.
It is our business to prosecute this system of defence—We, not the Executive, hold the purse-strings of the nation—and the world with as much astonishment as contempt, sees with what a miserly convulsive grasp we hold them.
It is time to be in a state of preparation—to organize a general system of national defence. Life and Death are before us—I have said—I repeat, it is our turn now—I can prove it—If I fail to do so, I will descend—no—I will not go down hill—I will ascend to mingle with the sovereign people—It were vain to secure this ceiling, or prop these walls, if the vast ocean rolled not between France and us—the walls would last ten times, more than ten times, as long as our republican system.
It is time to prepare a military defence, an army,—I am no friend to internal taxes, to national debts, nor to foreign engagements; but I must go as far as our safety requires.
We have an overflowing treasury, one with which we purchase empires, yet our country is defenceless. We have less defence than had the Republic of Ragusa, with a seacoast of 20 miles and 180,000 souls. Apropos of Ragusa; she was the last of the little republics of the old world—Did she conspire against France? No—simple, industrious, unambitious, she for ages enjoyed the blessings of self government—The French occupied her territory, and now where is she? I again repeat that nothing but our remoteness preserves our national independence a single hour.
I have, sir, like Elisha of old, waited long, that other men might sleep—I have hoped others would have brought forward this subject—I can wait no longer.
The present is an age of wonders: in proof of it let it be remarked, since we came into these walls, we have passed a resolution, referring to a select committee, so much of the President's message as relates to a surplus revenue while our country is in a defenceless state.
If you could call old Solomon from the "vasty deep," give him a seat in this house, a territorial seat, with the right to debate, but not to vote, the first thing he would do, would be to move you, to strike out from the Bible so much of his own writings as says, "there is nothing new under the Sun." We had already a committee of Ways and Means—this is a committee of Ways and Means, No. 2—the one to devise ways and means to provide; the other to expend—I can easily point, for the last committee, to a suitable object; they need not look far for objects of expenditure, let them defend their country.
Those who think we are safe, must put unbounded confidence in Providence; must be very religious indeed—we are not safe, and he who thinks we are, ought to howl to the winds and the woods; not to rational creatures. It is idle, it is unreasonable to think of safety as we now are.
Mr. Elliot then gave notice that on Tuesday next week, he should offer to the house, a series of resolutions relative to the navy establishments, for a new and more efficient system, for preparing and organising other defensive measures, relative to our commerce, seamen, harbors, coasts, frontiers, &c.
These observations of Mr. Elliot carry with them, what may be emphatically called, a solemn warning to the people, as well as to the government, of the U. States. They contain truths, alarming truths, which none but fools, or traitors (and traitors we have among us) will have the effrontery to deny. It is an awful truth, that "our country is defenceless;" and, with some qualification it is also true, that nothing but our remoteness (from France) preserves our national independence a single hour." Pointing to the hostile measures of Spain, in relation to our territory of Louisiana—a great part of which we are not only "ordered to give up," but have suffered to be actually invaded and possessed by a military force—he asks,—by whom is this done; and then furnishes the answer, which every one of us knows to be the appropriate one—"by a
power known to be under the immediate control of France."
Yes, Americans! the solemn truths Mr. Elliot has proclaimed to us, cannot be too often repeated; "our country is in a defenceless state"—"we are not safe;" and, notwithstanding that "nothing but our remoteness from the shores of France preserves," in his opinion, "our national independence a single hour,"—we confidently believe it would, ere now, have fallen a victim to the power, the ambition, and the craftiness of that ruthless nation, "if the vast Ocean rolled not between France and us."—We have no navy: But, thanks to a benign Providence, and the all-conquering arm of Britain on the seas, France and Spain have now little more left, of maritime power, than the "shadow of a navy." By the issue of the glorious battle of Trafalgar, America obtained a respite of her then impending doom; and the recent great conquests of the British in South-America, together with others which they will probably obtain in the same quarter, may serve to maintain our present security—or, at least, to diminish our apprehensions of immediate danger.
It is, nevertheless, our indispensable duty to provide, and this without further delay, for our ultimate safety. Let us not rely, for our security, on future events, over which we can have no controul, or on possible contingencies; but place our main dependence (under Heaven) on ourselves. "It is," as Mr. Elliot has well observed, "time to be in a state of preparation"—"It is time to prepare a military defence, an army."—Let us add, it is also full time, that we should set about the establishment of a navy. For the attainment of these all-important objects we need be at no loss: "We have," as Mr. Elliot tells us, "an overflowing treasury—one with which we purchase empires." By employing, then, the means within our power, and at the same time cultivating a good understanding with that extraordinary nation which sways the sceptre of the ocean, we may, like her, bid defiance, alike, to the machinations of Gallic ambition and Gallic intrigue.
December 16.
Mr. Randolph submitted the following resolution: "Resolved, That the President of the United States be requested to cause to be laid before the house an account of the several sums expended on the capitol, the president's house, the public offices, navy yard and navy barracks respectively, and the amount of money expended on other objects of public expence within the city of Washington." His object was to ascertain. He understood the house contemplated to ask for an appropriation of money for the purpose of erecting buildings for an university: he would know what would be the cost—was not architect enough to tell, and the calculations of the superintendent of public buildings, had uniformly failed. He thought it desirable to ascertain the expence of such an undertaking, as we wished to involve ourselves in no expenditure, as had been the case heretofore.
After some few observations by one or two members, the resolution was agreed to.
December 17.
Mr. J. Clay stated, that in the session, a bill had been received from the senate, providing for the payment of the witnesses summoned on the trial of Mr. Chase; but that, by some accountable oversight, no provision had been made for the payment of the messengers employed by the manager of the trial. He then presented a petition from one of the messengers, which was referred to a select committee of the house. A message was received from the senate, notifying, that they had considered the amendment of the house to the bill suspending the operation of the act, entitled, "an act to prohibit the importation of certain goods, wares and merchandise, and remitting the penalties incurred therein," and that they had agreed to the same.
On motion, ordered, that a committee of two be appointed to carry to the president of the United States the resolution yesterday offered (respecting the expence of the different public buildings, &c. in Washington.)

Wednesday, December 18.
Mr. John Randolph informed the house, that the committee appointed to wait on the president of the United States with the resolution which Mr. R. brought forward on Monday had performed that service, and had received for answer, that the information required should be laid before the house as soon as possible.
The "bill authorising the erection of a bridge over the Potomac, within the district of Columbia," was read a third time. The question was taken by ayes and noes, and the bill passed—yeas 60—noes 39.
The speaker stated that he had received an anonymous letter, addressed to the congress and speaker: He gave no intimation of its contents; but observed, that it was his opinion it ought to be read with closed doors. One of the members thought that it was unworthy the notice of the house, and moved that it should be burnt: this motion was afterwards withdrawn; and it was left on the table for the perusal of the members.
The house took up the "bill to prohibit the importation or bringing of slaves into the United States, after the 31st day of December, 1807."
Mr. Sloan offered an amendment to the 4th section, providing that besides the penalties attached to the importation of such slave, such slave should be set at liberty. On this amendment considerable debate arose. It was contended, that the adoption of this amendment would greatly retard the operation, if not entirely prevent the execution of the law. In what state it was asked, would they be landed, if any should be imported? They would certainly be smuggled into the southern states, and if they were set free, what would become of them? Were they to be clothed and fed at the expense of the state in which they were landed? But (said the gentleman who brought forward the bill) if landed and set at liberty in any of the southern states, it would be equal to setting firebrands in the heart of the country. It was well known that wherever these people were found in considerable numbers, in a state of freedom, they were made the engines of murder, theft and conflagration: and would the inhabitants of the southern states suffer such people to live amongst them? Certainly not: they would be—(stretching out his arm in the attitude of firing a pistol)—The house (he said) understood him: if a cargo of them were landed, he would venture to say, not one of them would be left in a year afterwards: he would either get rid of the white or the white people of them. An amendment was adopted, the law never be carried into execution, no person would inform; self protection, and his love for his family and neighbors, would prevent any one from daring. Nor would the reverend gentlemen dare to enforce the law—the church would rise to a man and oppose it. Mr. Sloan declared, that it was far his wish to see these people set free, and he wished them to be transferred to their native-country. He was for the amendment represented by Mr. Morris.
Then observed, that an amendment that effect was desirable, if it could be effected. But what was to be done with the legislatures of the southern states declaring them to be vagabonds immediately on their arrival, and to be taken up and put out to service. It was well known, also, that they were not brought here from any love of philanthropy, but personal gain. And if those who imported them were forced to carry them away, they might not be taken elsewhere and sold as slaves? They might indeed be exported at the expence of the United States: but how could this be done without those who did not inhabit the sea-coast? They might be taken back, it was said; but they would be again imported, and lost.
The question was taken on Mr. Sloan's amendment, and lost. The two remaining sections of the bill were then read, when an amendment was offered to the first section, which prohibited the importation of slaves or persons of color, with the intention of selling them. The gentleman who brought forward the amendment observed, that a similar provision existed in some of the southern states; but that it had been often evaded by the persons importing them making oath that they did not intend to sell them at the time they took them on board, but that they afterwards were compelled to sell them from necessity.
The gentleman who brought forward the bill, observed, that if the amendment
ment prevailed, he believed that Mellimelli (Tunisian) or any other ambassador from the Barbary powers, would never be able to come to the United States, they being people of color. For his part, he did not care if Mellimelli never returned—he wanted no more Mellimellis; but as he was of opinion that that bill wanted some amendment, he moved that the committee should rise, report progress, and ask leave to sit again. Carried.
Mr. Dawson presented a petition from the inhabitants of Alexandria and Washington, praying for the establishment of a turnpike road from the west end of Mason's island to Alexandria, which was referred to a select committee of 5 members.
A memorial was presented from the trustees for the education of youth in the city of Washington, which was referred to a select committee of 3 members.
Several private petitions were presented and referred.
FOREIGN NEWS.
BOSTON, December 31.
Latest from Europe.
The British Packet Diana, capt. Gibbons, who arrived here yesterday via Bermuda, sailed from Falmouth on the 12th ultimo, and brings us London papers and Marine Lists to the 7th.
The Papers are filled with the French successes in Prussia. The latest date from Berlin is Oct. 24th; on which day the French took possession of that place—the queen of Prussia had fled to the Baltic on her way to Custrén.
Lord Morpeth and suite arrived at London from Berlin on the first of Nov. by way of Hamburg.
On the 12th of Nov. 4 ships of the line, 2 frigates, a sloop of war, 10 cutters and 23 transports, having on board 4000 troops including cavalry sailed from Falmouth on a secret expedition. They were victualled for 12 months; and commanded by commodore Robert Stopford and General Crauford. There was another expedition fitting out at Ramsgate and Margate.
The ship Connecticut, M c Clure, arrived at Charleston on the 18th inst. in 47 days from Liverpool, with London news to the 29 of October—2 days later than by the Eugenia at this port. The news from the Continent is not so late by several days as already received at this port by the arrivals from France and Holland. The trial of Capt. Whitby was to be held at Portsmouth on board the Gibraltar, "for a breach of neutrality, and for the murder of John Pierce an American subject."
The last London paper says, 250,000 Russians have entered Germany, and were marching for the Theatre of war—20,000 infantry, and 580 cavalry, of British troops were to be sent to the aid of the Allies on the Continent.
Captain Hargood of the British ship Belleisle, in a letter to the secretary of the navy, dated off the capes of Virginia Sept. 15, 1806—says, that he burnt the French ship L'Impetueux of 74 guns after he had chased her on shore, and she had grounded on our coast.
The Parliament of Great Britain was dissolved on the 24th of October, and writs for a new election of members issued, returnable on the 15th of December.
LONDON, Nov. 8.
Dutch papers to the 3d are received, but do not bring down the military operations farther than the 20th ult. At this time Buonaparte had his head quarters at Halle; and the divisions of Ney, Soult, and Murat, having formed a junction, had arrived at Magdeburg, for the purpose of attacking the part of the Prussian army which had already fallen back on that fortress, in which object it was disappointed, the Prussians having previously withdrawn beyond the Oder.
Three Gottenburgh mails arrived at an early hour yesterday morning. The following is the only article of any importance brought by this conveyance.
Extract of a letter from Lund, in Scania, dated Oct. 23, 1806:—"I have to tell you and news; the Prussian army is totally defeated; the Queen of Prussia and her children are at this moment in Stralsund, whither, it is said, the king of Sweden has sent to invite her to come over, and take refuge in this country."
This article evidently alludes to the disastrous affair of the 14th ult. Of the remaining hopes and forces of Prussia, we are still without any precise accounts, and as the Postmaster of Hamburg gave notice, on the evening of the 31st, that he would no longer receive letters from Prussia or Austria, as he could not en-
gage to forward them till some political change took place," we are doomed to wait with anxiety for some time for further advices from the North of Germany. —It is now an ascertained fact, that when the Marquis Lucchesini was sent to the French head quarters, with a commission to obtain peace on any terms, Bonaparte returned this insolent answer—"I do not know the King of the Prussians."
The Carteret Packet sailed from Malta on the 13th ult. General Stuart arrived there from Sicily on the 10th. Every part of the Two Calabrias has been abandoned to the French, except Scylla, in which we still hold a garrison. Thus there appears to be no foundation for the report of a second great victory over the French in that quarter. General Stuart is now on his return to England.
Oct. 29.
We have received accounts from Berlin, of the 18th stating, that the queen had arrived there on the preceding evening, and again quitted the capital on the 18th. The duke of Brunswick is not killed; he was wounded by a grape shot at the beginning of the battle, in reconnoitering the position of the enemy. The loss in killed and wounded is estimated at from 30,000 to 40,000 men, generals Mollendorf, Kalkreuth, Rochel, Blucher, and Tauenzien, are amongst the number. The battle was fought at Auerstadt. The Prussian army was on its retreat to Magdeburg.
After the battle, the head-quarters of the French army were transferred to Leipzig, and the advanced guard had actually taken possession of Dresden.
November 1.
The king of Sweden is using every effort for taking an active part in the war; and accounts from Berlin state positively the arrival of a Russian army of 60,000 men in Silesia, which was advancing by forced marches to the support of the Prussians.
It is stated that 30,000 Prussian troops, under the Dukes of Weimar and Brunswick Oels, have passed the Elbe at Havelberg, on their retreat towards the Oder; beyond which it appears, the Prussians mean to make a stand, and where they expect to assemble a large force. One of the minor Paris papers of the 27th states, that the 14th bulletin had arrived at Paris; that the King of Prussia was wounded, and that the Emperor Napoleon was at Berlin; but as the Moniteurs of the 29th do not notice it, we presume it is not true.
A letter from Hamburg, dated Oct. 31, says, "On the 26th inst. his majesty's Consul gave orders for the British captains in port, to hold themselves in readiness to depart at 12 hours notice."
The Neptune of 98 guns, arrived at Spithead from Cadiz, has brought the following intelligence. The Neptune and Minotaur left Lord Collingwood's fleet off Cadiz, on the 27th ult. consisting of the following ships: Ocean, Lord Collingwood, Queen, Admiral Purvis, Tiger, Orion, Zealous, Ajax, Saturn, Swiftsure, and Standard, with the Athenienne, Active and Tiger frigates.
The enemy's fleet consist of 12 sail of the line, among which are 5 admirals—they are much in want of seamen. The British squadron is in a high state of health and discipline. Another meeting is devoutly wished for by both officers and men—of the result there can be but one opinion from the iron-nerved admiral, Lord Collingwood.
The Thunderer was hourly expected from Messina to join the squadron.
Hamburg, Oct. 31.—The posts from Prussia and Austria have not yet arrived; but we learn by an Estafette, that part of Murat's division entered Berlin on the 24th.—However disastrous the campaign may have been to Prussia, it is certain, that several corps of their army have not been in action and are now assembled on the other side of the Oder, particularly the corps of the Prince of Hohenlohe, the Dukes of Sax Weimar, and Brunswick Oels.
Gen. Wartenleben is Governor of Magdeburg, and commandant of that fortress, the garrison of which consists of 12,000 men; but the works are said to require a much greater number of men for their defence; as the magazines are not supplied for a siege, apprehensions may be entertained for its safety unless soon relieved.
Devastation and cruelty mark the footsteps of the French, wherever they go: —Weimar was not only given up to the plunder of a brutal and ferocious soldiery for two hours, but was afterwards set on fire, as were also Jena, Halle and Naumburg. Jerome Buonaparte, it is said, will accompany the army destined to act in Poland.
Berlin, Oct. 24.—The emperor Na-
poleon, will tomorrow be at Sans Souci, and the next day at Berlin.
Weaphalia, Oct. 29.—The country of Lingen has been taken possession of, for the king of Holland; not by a military force but by a letter from the college of administration at Munster. All the Prussian eagles and other Prussian arms, have been taken down by order of gen. Michaud, and the Prussian uniform is no longer to be worn.
Embden and Minden have likewise been taken possession of by Dutch and French troops.
It is said that Marshal Mollendorf and several other generals entreated his Prussian Majesty to give orders for attacking the French several days before the battle of the 14th, but in vain. He had however, come to a determination to engage on the 15th, in which he was unfortunately anticipated on the 14th.
Mecklenburg Strelitz, Oct. 22.—The Mark of Brandenburg is now the Theatre of war. Prince Hohenlohe's head quarters were at Neustad on the 25th, and on the 26th the duke of Brunswick Oels, passed the Elbe at Sandau, near Havelberg. We shall now see which of the two armies reach the Oder first, the Prussians or the French.
Berlin, Oct. 24.—To day, at noon, the French entered this city. They are commanded by General Hulin.
[Detail of operations after the battle of Jena—the substance of the previous Bulletins having been published from the Dutch papers.]
SIXTH BULLETIN.
WEIMAR, OCT. 15—(evening)
Six thousand Saxons, and more than three hundred officers, have been made prisoners. The Emperor had the officers assembled, and told them that he saw with pain their army make war upon him—that for his part he had taken to arms only to insure the independence of the Saxon nation, and to oppose its incorporation with the Prussian monarchy—that his intention was to send them all home, if they gave their parole of honor never to serve against France—That their sovereign, whose title he acknowledged, had acted weakly, in thus yielding to Prussian menaces, and making them enter upon his territory—But that the Prussians must remain in Prussia, and that they should not meddle in any manner in the affairs of Germany—That the Saxons ought to be found united to the Confederation of the Rhine, under the protection of France, a protection that was not new to her—That since two hundred years, without France, she would have been invaded by Austria, or Prussia. That the emperor had taken arms, only when Prussia had invaded Saxony; that it was necessary to put a term to these outrages; that the continent had need of repose; and that in spite of the intrigues and the base passions which agitated many courts, it was necessary that their repose should exist, although it cost, to procure it, the fall of some thrones.
Effectively, all the Saxon prisoners have been sent to their homes, with the proclamation of the Emperor to the Saxons, and with the assurances that no enmity existed against their nation.
The following parole was presented to their officers for signature.
We the undersigned Generals, Colonels, Lieut. Colonels, Majors, Captains, and Saxon officers, swear, upon our word of honor, not at all to bear arms against his majesty the emperor and king, and his allies; we take the same engagement, and make the same oath, in the name of the subaltern officers and soldiers, who have been made prisoners with us, and of which the list is here joined, even if we did receive a formal order for it from our sovereign, the elector of Saxony.
Dated Jena, 13th Oct. 1806.
Signed to the number of one hundred and twenty.
SEVENTH BULLETIN.
The Grand Duke of Berg encircled Erfurth on the 14th, in the morning; on the 19th the place capitulated. By this 14,000 men, of which 8,000 were wounded and 6,000 able-bodied, have become prisoners of war, among which are the Prince of Orange, Field-marshal Mollendorf, Lieut. generals Lariach and Graver; and Major-Generals Legava and Zycisel. A part of 120 pieces of artillery, well furnished, has fallen in our hands. Every day they collect prisoners.
The King of Prussia sent an aide-de-camp to the Emperor, with a letter in answer to that the Emperor had wrote to him before the battle, but which the King of Prussia did not answer till after. This step of the Emperor Napolion, was similar to that towards the Emperor of Russia before the battle of Austerlitz.—

He said to the King of Prussia.— "The success of my arms are not at all uncertain—Your troops shall be beaten, but it will cost the blood of my children.—If it could be spared by some arrangement compatible with the honor of my crown, there is nothing I may not do to spare so precious a blood. There is only honor, which can be, in my view, more precious than the blood of my soldiers."
It appears that the remnant of the Prussian army have retired towards Magdeburg. Of all this immense army but a few remnants have re-joined.
[To this bulletin is annexed the capitulation of the town and citadel of Erfurth.]
EIGHTH BULLETIN.
Weimar, Oct. 16.
The different corps of the army which are pursuing the enemy, announce every moment prisoners, baggage, cannon, magazines and provisions of all kinds taken. Marshal Davoust has just taken 30 pieces of cannon; Marshal Soult a convoy of 3000 tons of flour; and Marshal Bernadotte 1500 prisoners. The army is in such a manner dispersed and mixed with our troops that one of their battalions came to join one of our advanced night guards, mistaking it for one of their own. The King of Prussia endeavours to get to Magdeburg. Marshal Molendorf is very sick at Erfurth; the Duke of Berg has sent him his physician.
The Queen of Prussia has been many times in view of our posts; she is in continual terror and alarm. The evening she passed her regiment in review, she never ceased to stir up the King and the generals. She wished for blood and the most precious blood has flown—the most experienced generals fell in the first conflict.
The Brigadier-General Durosnel made a bold charge with the 20th and 78th chasseurs, which had the greatest effect; the Major of the 20th particularly distinguished himself. Brigadier-General Colbert, at the head of the 2d hussars and 12th chasseurs, had great success in several charges made upon the enemy.
CHILLICOTHE, December 21.
On Tuesday the second inst. the governor of this state sent the following confidential communication to both houses of the legislature; To the general assembly of the state of Ohio.
A number of concurrent circumstances, received from sources on which the greatest possible reliance may be placed, warrants, a belief, that some hostile expedition is on foot inimical to the peace and interests of the United States, as well as calculated to prove ruinous to the peace and prosperity of the western part thereof. As chief magistrate of this state, I have thought it a duty I owe to my fellow-citizens—to this state, and to the general government, to lay the information I have received before the representatives of the people, that their united wisdom might direct to some means of prevention, as far as in their power, towards counteracting the evil designs.
I have it from a gentleman of great respectability, clothed by the United States with a public character, that a person living near Marietta, on the Ohio river, but out of the jurisdiction of this state, has avowed himself an agent of a gentleman late high in office in the United States, and is empowered, and is actually preparing a flotilla, consisting of from ten to fifteen bateaux, forty feet long, on the Muskingum river, and is purchasing up provisions to load them with, and endeavouring to engage active, enterprising young men, to sail therein down the Ohio, who are promised pay and rations from the time of engagement, with promises of future fortunes, &c. that this agent proposed to two gentlemen of great respectability to join in a plan suggested by his principal, and which he had engaged in, which would procure for them ample fortunes; which plan was to attack and seize the city of New-Orleans and its dependencies, the money in the bank and treasury (which amounts to upwards of two millions of dollars) the military stores, and a fine park of French brass artillery laying there, and to erect a government independent of the United States, under the protection of a foreign European power, and finally to force, or draw the people of the western country to secede from the Union, by sundry means pointed out. It has also been suggested, that three different small armaments below this, on the Ohio, are preparing to join in this expedition, and if all are permitted to join, will amount to thirteen hundred men, the force de-
signed to commence operations with—and from which, owing to the disaffection of the people of that territory, and the expectation that the American troops will be kept in motion by another power, success is strongly calculated on. It is also strongly suspected that a foreign gentleman friendly to the enterprize, has pecuniary means equal to the extent and wants thereof, at command.
On Friday last, I received a communication from a general officer in the militia, in the first division, informing me, that two boats loaded with artillery, muskets and bayonets, new, and of French manufactures, passed down the Ohio, on board of which were gentlemen who spoke the French language; that for want of legal authority, he was not able to gratify his patriotic wishes in arresting them.
Under this state of things, it is submitted whether the public energies of Ohio ought not to be directed towards counteracting that part of the preparing forces within our jurisdiction, on the Muskingum river, and the securing the agent preparing them, if possible? And indeed, it is thought other forces may descend the Ohio from above, and which might be stopt in the Ohio while floating down towards the point of junction.

Chillicothe, Dec. 2d, 1806.
As soon as the law of the general assembly passed both houses, which clothes the governor with unlimited powers, to enable him to act with energy, and which was bottomed on his confidential communication made to them, we are informed he sent off an express to Marietta, to arrest the flotilla and the agents employed in that quarter; and for fear it might escape, and other preparations which, we understand, was to leave Pittsburgh and other points on the Ohio, get under way, we are told an express has gone on to Cincinnati, with orders to plant some artillery on the banks there, and call out such part of the militia as will be competent to arrest and examine every boat passing down the river, and secure any military party or parties that may be attempting to get to the place of general rendezvous.

Messrs. Tandt & Brown,
The following is translated from the Havana Gazette, called the Aurora, and notwithstanding the incredulity you have expressed in your Gazette of the 24th, of the probability of the fact, it now confirms it beyond a doubt. You are complimented with a preference by one of your subscribers.

AURORA.—Havana, 3d Dec. 1806. SOUTH AMERICA. Peruvian Minerva, No. 35.
LIMA, 23d September, 1806.
Yesterday an extraordinary express arrived in this capital, who left Arequipa the 13th inst. with the pleasing news that the victorious arms of our most Catholic monarch have retaken Buenos Ayres, on the 12th August. The glorious conqueror was Don Santiago de Liniers, captain in the royal navy, who, when the British took said place, had saved himself in Monte-Video; the governor whereof had confided under his command a light flotilla of about 30 sail, and 1500 men, between troops of the line and volunteers perfectly equipped.—With these he landed in the port of Las Conchas, where reinforcements joined them from Buenos Ayres and Campana so as to compose a body of 2,300 men in all; thence they proceeded to Retiro, where they encamped on the 10th, and remained from various circumstances, until the 12th; when they attacked with the most astonishing bravery, all the fortified points of the enemy in the streets and squares of the city, and carried them, routing the enemy with the greatest intrepidity; thence they proceeded to take the fort by assault, but being threatened by our general with military execution, the enemy thought best to surrender.
General William Carr Beresford was taken prisoner of war, with upwards of 1000 men of his own troops, who obtained the honors of war, remaining however at the discretion of the conqueror.
THE person who borrowed the 4th Volume of "Washington's Life" from the subscriber, (and did not bring it back agreeable to promise,) is desired to return it immediately.

MARTINSBURG, January 9.
Died, at his plantation in this County, on Tuesday the 23rd ult. Mr. WILLIAM BURNS, senr. at the advanced age of 88 years, during the close of which he was almost constantly diseased.—We shall not attempt an eulogy; his actions through life speak more forcibly than we can, and they bear testimony that he conducted himself as an honest man ought. He liv'd to see a very numerous and respectable progeny rise up around him, to the third generation.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 27.
The Western and Southern Mails, received last evening, furnish information relative to Col. Burr, which, if true is highly interesting.
From a confidential communication made by the Governor to the General Assembly of the state of Ohio, on the 2d of December, it would appear, that "Burr's plan was to attack and seize the city of Orleans, and its dependencies; the money in the Bank and Treasury (which amounts to upwards of two millions of dollars) the military stores, and a fine park of French brass artillery laying there, and to erect a government independent of the United States, under the protection of a foreign European power—and, finally, to force or draw the people of the western country to secede from the Union."
Washington City, January 5. COLONEL BURR.
We are authorised to state, by a gentleman just arrived from Frankfort, in Kentucky, who was present at Col. Burr's Trial, and had an opportunity of knowing the testimony produced before the Grand Jury, that a correspondence actually took place between Colonel Burr and the Executive, fourteen months ago, relative to the present expedition.
