From the National Intelligencer.
We learn that the treaty lately concluded at London by the American and British commissioners has not yet been received by our government. It is believed however on good grounds, that the instrument in its existing form presents some difficulties which will require further negotiations in the same amicable spirit which has throughout prevailed, in order to render it acceptable to our government. It is understood particularly that it is deficient with respect to the important subject of impressments from American ships on the high seas, and that it is accompanied with a declaration on the part of the British government that the signature of its commissioners is not to bind it to ratify the treaty or to restrain it from retaliating measures against the late French decree, unless it shall be previously assured by the explanation.

tions or conduct of the United States, that they will pursue a satisfactory course against the infringement of their neutral rights by that decree. We learn also that Mr. Purviance was the person appointed by our Commissioners, to be the bearer of the treaty and their accompanying dispatches, and that he left London on the eighth of January. His arrival may consequently be hourly looked for.
From the Washington Federalist, March 7. The TREATY.
From a respectable member of congress, we have received the following information respecting the treaty lately concluded at London.
The president declares the treaty to be so exceptional, that he will immediately return it. He states, that our ministers were positively instructed to make it a sine qua non that all persons sailing under our flag should be exempt from impressment on the high and narrow seas; though he was willing to allow England the right of taking her own subjects from on board our vessels, when in English ports, or even in our own ports. In the treaty as it now is, there is no provision, whatever, on this important point. Another exceptional point is, that by a note attached to the treaty, and which is to form a part of it if ratified, the U. States are to make a common cause with G. Britain in opposing the French blockading decree. The president observed, that to his view, it had more the appearance of an alliance offensive and defensive, than a commercial treaty.
We had like to have omitted, that in the note attached to the treaty, the British ministers agree to practice on the principles required by our government respecting the impressment of seamen, notwithstanding the omission of it in the treaty; but as we understand it, on the condition that our government should unite with that of England in opposing the blockading decree of the 21st November.
We are truly sorry that any difficulties should have intervened to prevent the adjustment of existing differences between the two countries; and we fondly indulge the hope, that, by a mutual spirit of conciliation, they will yet be overcome, and our intercourse established on a friendly and liberal footing.
From the Baltimore Federal Gazette of the 5th March.
To the politeness of a Senator from Delaware, just arrived from the seat of government, we are indebted for the following HIGHLY IMPORTANT INFORMATION—disclosed in a conversation with the Editor.
The President of the United States did not lay the treaty from England (just arrived) before the Senate because of the "hard conditions" of which he never would accept. It was expressly stipulated, in a note attached to the treaty, that in case of a ratification by our government, the United States should unite with Great Britain in opposing the French decree, so dangerous to all neutral rights—that, if the American government reject this condition, it rejects the Treaty. The president declared, that he would not even lay it before the senate; and, thus rejecting it, would put in its fullest force the Non Importation act against Great Britain, after the arrival of the period to which it has been suspended. This it will be remembered, is the first day of July next.
The last section of the suspension act authorises the president further to suspend the non-importation law to the second Monday of December next, "if in his judgement, the public interest should require it." But, as he has publicly declared his abhorrence of the terms of the proffered treaty, our merchants must fix their attention on the shortest period, viz. July next.
The late hour at which we obtained the information precludes further comment nor do we wish by minute inquiries, to agitate unnecessarily the minds of commercial men. It is a moment of peculiar alarm, and not in a small degree distressing to those who had fondly hoped that a spirit of mutual conciliation would have enabled the governments of Great Britain and America to fix a rampart, beyond which the destroyers of Europe could not have advanced. But all hope has vanished; except that only of disease in the French camp. Should Asculapius and Mars smile on France, and America and England, by impolitic and mad dissention, chain Neptune (their only friend)—farewell commerce! farewell all of freedom and of greatness!
A passenger in the Ann Jane, arrived at Philadelphia from Bordeaux, informs that Buonaparte was about assembling an army of one million of men—600,000 of
whom he means to leave in his rear, while he marches at the head of 400,000 to Russia, to settle his accounts with the emperor Alexander.
N. Y. Mer. Ad.
NEW-YORK, March 12.
We are extremely happy in recording the following truly generous and heroic action.
On the 22d ultimo, in the afternoon, while a negro man and his wife were crossing the river Susquehanna, on the ice—the ice parted and these unfortunate persons were carried down the river on separate pieces. When opposite Havre de Grace, they called for assistance from persons, who were on the bank of the river, and who brutally scoffed at their danger, and left them to their fate. The gentleman, who is postmaster at Havre de Grace, put off in a small boat to their assistance—the man was got on shore—but the woman, who was surrounded by accumulating cakes of ice, must inevitably have perished, as the night was setting in, and the boat unable to approach her had returned; when Commodore Rogers, with a spirit worthy of a seaman, and highly honourable to humanity, taking a piece of plank, passed from cake to cake, until he reached the woman, and brought her to land when she was nearly perished with cold, being himself benumbed in this noble attempt to rescue her.
London, Jan. 6.
Sir Harford Jones has brought the latest accounts to government from the Russian head-quarters. He had a full opportunity of seeing them with his own eyes and we have his authority to say, that he never saw an army in a higher state of discipline, or more eager to meet an enemy a Parme blanche . The two columns of the Russians, under generals Benningen and Buxhowden, amount to 150,000 men, which must have joined by the 9th.
January 6.
The mails from Denmark bring news to the 30th ult. All accounts agree in this, that the French army are in a most direful state by dysentery and other infectious disorders, produced by the severity of the weather and the want of proper food—nearly the whole of the army being disabled.
The Danes, apprehensive of French attempts to violate their neutrality, and force them into measures inconsistent with their interest, are making preparations to vindicate their rights, and have equipped several ships of the line for the protection of their coast and trade.
Sheerwick, Dec. 30.
We learn that Napoleon arrived at Warsaw on the 19th inst. where prince Murat was confined to his bed.
Skirmishes daily take place between the Russian and French out-posts.
Five hospitals are erected at Warsaw Kosciuszko, who left Paris, the 13th, was expected at Warsaw, to put himself at the head of the Polish confederation.
Gen. Benningen with 73,000 men, retreating before the French to Narew, destroyed all the provisions, and took with him all the Poles who were able to serve in the army.
Tonningen, Dec. 30.
All accounts agree that the French army are much reduced by sickness and scarcity. The Empress Josephine and the queen of Holland have fled from the contagion.
General Benningen, with 80,000 men, is near Warsaw, harassing the French, whose misery and distress give them no stomach for fighting. In truth, we are assured, that the affairs of Napoleon are desperate.
Presburg, Dec. 30.
We learn that the Russians, 50,000 strong are posted at Moldavia and Walachia, as friends and allies of the Sublime Porte; that they have advanced as far as Widdien, and united with 40,000 Servians, commanded by Czerni George.
Accounts from Berlin of the 10th state that the hospitals there and at Magdeburg are full of sick and wounded French, who arrive nightly by waggons full. Contagious fevers and flux prevailed to an alarming degree. The physicians are put in requisition.
The Russian army on the frontiers of Poland amount to 150,000 men, and will be enlarged by January.
IMPERIAL UKASE.
Alexander, Emperor of all the Russias, &c. &c. &c.
Our manifesto of the 30th of August declared the situation of our affairs with the French government.
At that period of our hostile situation, Prussia still formed a barrier between us and the French, who tyrannised over various parts of Germany. But soon after, the fire of war blazed out in Prussia also; after various disasters, and important losses on her part, our own dominions on the frontiers are now threatened by the flame.
To the Russians, accustomed to love the glory of their country, and to sacrifice everything to it, it is unnecessary to explain how unavoidable these events have made the present war.
Honor unsheathed our sword for the protection of our allies; how much more justly must it be drawn for the defence of our own safety? Before these events could approach our frontiers, we took, at an early period, every measure to be ready to meet them. Having, in good time, ordered our army to move beyond the frontier, we have now commissioned our general, field marshal Kutaiskoy, to command it, and to act against the enemy with all the forces entrusted to him.
We are assured, that our faithful subjects will join us in fervent prayers to the almighty, who directs the fate of states, and the issue of battles, that he may take our righteous cause under his all powerful protection, that his victorious strength and blessing may direct the Russian armies employed for repelling the general foe of Europe.
We are confident, that our faithful subjects of the government on the frontier will, in the present circumstances particularly, redouble the proofs of their attachment and their zeal for the common good; and that, unshaken by fear or delusive promises, they will tread with firmness the same path in which under the protection of the laws, and of a mild government, they have hitherto enjoyed tranquility and universal prosperity of the whole empire.
Lastly, we are confident, that all the children of the land, relying on the help of God, on the valor of troops, and on the known experience of their leader, will spare no sacrifice, no efforts which patriotism and the safety of our country may demand.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 29, 1806.
MARTINSBURG, March 20.
The Freeholders of Jefferson County, Virginia, are hereby informed, that WALTER BAKER, is a candidate for their suffrage, at the next Election, to serve them in the Legislature of our State, March 20, 1807.
There will be preaching at Mill Creek, on Sunday next the 22nd inst. weather permitting. Also, at Martinsburg the 29th, on the 5th of April at Mill Creek again, and on the 12th at the Mountain Chapel, which fully concludes the annual agreement. Collectors—pray be in readiness for a settlement, in order, that a departure may be in peace, and equity with all men.
Legislation. —When the Bill for regulating the Practice of Medicine and suppressing quackery was before the House of representatives of Pennsylvania, a member observed.
"If I shuse to but my life indo de Hans of one of dese Quacks, it is nobody's pianness; pecause I know some of dese Quacks cure pigger cures as any of de pig toctors. Mr. Sbeaker, I pleve some of dese pig toctors kills more beebles dan dese Quacks, pecause dey use stronger medicines."
The above speech was the only one against the bill, and the bill was rejected.
Rumours. —Aaron Burr is said to have requested an examination of his Port-Folio (in the possession of his daughter) from which it would incontrovertibly appear that Gen. Wilkinson had been for some time a Spanish Pensioner, and was as deeply engaged in schemes hostile to his country, as he himself could possibly have been.
It is also asserted, that an American officer from Fort Stoddert, passed a few days since thro' this city on his way to Washington: for the purpose of submitting to our Cabinet some severe accusations against Gen. W. among the rest, that Gen. W. has attempted to win him over to schemes which were hostile to his country.
In a controversy which has occurred in the Kentucky papers, between judge Coburn and A. R. Marshall, Esq. the latter has produced a certificate from a Dr. Duke, detailing a conversation with Judge C. respecting the Kentucky Spanish Association. Judge C. is represented to have said, that when at Natchez,
in 1790, or 1791, "he was informed by a gentleman of respectability, that General Wilkinson held a commission as COLONEL IN THE SPANISH SERVICE and received the PAY as such. The Judge further stated, that on his return to Kentucky, he mentioned this information to Wilkinson, and that W. DID NOT DENT IT. "
It is impossible for us to form, or to express any positive opinion on these accusations under existing circumstances, and it is the duty of every impartial man to suspend his judgment until more satisfactory evidence is adduced.—Rich. Enq.
FOR THE INTELLIGENCER.
To the PEOPLE.
Agreeably to promise in my first short notice, I shewed you, in the second number, exactly "your situation," with all the candor and truth, that so important a subject demands. In this concluding address, it will be my object, principally to shew, that weak and unprincipled men, foisting themselves into office, undertaking to be the Guardians of our Liberties, and the want of energy in our Government, are the sole cause of our troubles and divisions at home, and a disrespect to our Government from abroad. In my prior communications on political topics, I have sufficiently defined the nature and origin of all government;—that man in every degree, more or less, is governed by the fear of punishment, and the hope of reward; and that as we forsake the order in which Providence was pleased to place us, we become more or less useless and unprofitable beings in society. No system can possibly be found, even in imagination, without a subordination of parts. Every animal body must have different members, subservient to each other; every picture must be composed of various colors, and of light and shade; all harmony must be formed of trebles, tenors, and basses; every beautiful and useful edifice must consist of higher and lower, more and less magnificent apartments. This is the very essence of all created things, and therefore cannot be prevented by any means whatever, unless by not creating them at all; for which reason, in the formation of the universe, the great architect, in order to carry on that just subordination so necessary to the very existence of the whole, created beings of different ranks; and bestowed on various species of animals, of which man is one link, and also on the individuals of the same species various degrees of understanding;—shall one order then presume to usurp the station of the other?—shall the mole complain that he cannot be instructed in astronomy, or the oyster in music because they have not faculties for the acquirement of these sciences? If therefore man goes out of his order, and undertakes that which neither his creator nor the faculties of his mind intended him for, "disorder and every evil work will ensue." If the Smith, respectable in his calling, quits his anvil, and goes to a profession in which he is not competent, he renders both himself and his employ contemptible. Just so, if improper characters turn Statesmen and Legislators, they cut, equally as ridiculous a figure, and are as destructive to the order of the social compact. Who then, you will ask, are proper characters to be sent to Congress and our state Legislatures? Men duly qualified, from their standing in society, and their acquirements in the knowledge fitted for the station; legal men, and those who have made governmental matters their study. These are the men in every Country who distinguish themselves as the shining lights in the Senate, and render a Government respectable at home and respected abroad. "Nullus nisi candidus," is the great high way to the Temple of Fame, and because it is in the just order of things. It is admitted, that all political bodies, like the natural, carry the seeds of their own dissolution in their very essence, and like them must have their end; but to last long, and wear well, is to provide accordingly: Now it must also be granted, that as we advance in population, we increase in corruption, consequently more energy is required. If we are getting so contaminated and restless when we are but six million of People, what shall we be when we arrive to a hundred million? If riches are increased in proportion to our numbers, shall we not need a Government suited to such boundless corruption. "Divitias committatur luxur, et luxur, exit in tyrannidem"—why not then "grow with our growth, and strengthen with our strength"—Yes, I tell you, Fellow-Citizens, we are verging to an awful crisis, and nothing will save us

from anarchy and destruction, but by quitting our childish nick names, of federal and democrat, and uniting as men and brethren, and filling up, all vacancies, from the humble grade of Constable, to the highest rank of chief Magistrate, from the best and most qualified men amongst us. What I have thus freely advanced, at this seasonable juncture, is purely for truth's sake, to promote peace, happiness, order, and good government in our Country; "to put to silence the ignorance of foolish men" and "vain babblers;" who keep up a dust, to pick up something in the scramble, and to fatten on the spoils of weak and deluded Zealots; who manifest a zeal for self and for sect, for party and denomination, but have not a zeal in the glorious cause of truth, and the general felicity of their fellow-beings, agreeably to that order and wisdom which was intended by the Great Creator of the universe.

FOR THE INTELLIGENCER.
Col. Burr. —The plan of this traitor for producing a revolution in the Western States, is now converging to a point, and we shall soon see whether our new purchased territory is to be sacrificed at the shrine of his ambition. In this transaction it appears, that Burr was not mistaken when he told General Eaton, "There was no energy in Government to be dreaded," and a sufficient proof of it is, that, after the conversation of General Eaton with the president, and several members of Congress as long ago as last March, Burr was suffered to proceed to the westward, to put his plan into execution, without the least opposition on the part of government.
From the displeasure exhibited in the countenance of the president, at the subject of General Eaton's conversation, he could proceed no farther than to express his suspicions of the conduct of Burr on the waters of the Mississippi; and it is astonishing, that, as the General's language invited interrogatory, the president should wrap himself up in the confidence of the patriotism and attachment of the inhabitants of the western world, and omit to inquire of Eaton the grounds of his suspicion, as, by a few questions, he might have received the important information the General has now detailed to the district court of Columbia; and Burr might have been arrested before he left the Eastern States, and compelled to give security for his good behavior, or been confined in jail.
All history agrees in the fact, that under weak and relaxed administrations, insults are not only offered from abroad, but rebellious spirits at home are encouraged to project schemes of usurpation, and aggrandizement; in conformity to this, Burr considers the present, as a proper time to attempt the daring project of usurping a part of our territory, and place himself at the head of a separate government, and promises himself success against the feeble opposition of a poor embecile administration.
With respect to Burr, and the officers of his Banditti, this is one instance among a thousand others to prove, that democracy and despotism are nearly allied; and that however democrats may cant about liberty, it is only to cajole the people, who are the fountain of wealth and honor, till they can get firmly seated in an elevated state, when they care no more about them; and according to Judge Workman of the district of New Orleans, "If they do not employ their power to establish a despotism, they are fools." Flattery in gross, and cruelty in detail, is a maxim in democracy, and it is proverbial, that he, who, with most assiduity practices the former, will, with the greatest rigour, exercise the latter.
Insurrection was declared by the democrats in France, to be a holy right of the people; and our democrats have now three times resorted to it to release themselves from too much regulation; but they have not the smallest objection to an absolute monarchy, when their ambition and avarice can be gratified by the distinction of command, and the emoluments attached to it. This was the case of Bonaparte and his associates in France, and it is, at this time, the case of Burr and his Banditti in America. They were all good republicans; and when an opportunity offered to gratify their avarice or ambition, they soon convince the world, that treasons, murders, & proscriptions, are as things acquainted and familiar to them; and from the example of Bonaparte, and his contemporary Burr, we see the humility and moderation of modern democrats, when they can be their own paymasters. Almost all Europe has been marketted off, to satisfy the moderate bill of merit drawn by Napoleon; and it will not be the fault of Burr, and his principal associates, if America is not marketted off, to satisfy the moderate claim of those humble republicans.
satisfy the moderate bill of merit drawn by Napoleon; and it will not be the fault of Burr, and his principal associates, if America is not marketted off, to satisfy the moderate claim of those humble republicans.
Letters from Natchez of the 7th ultimo, say that Col. Burr's arrival there had caused a great bustle—that the court had no jurisdiction in his case—that a grand jury had been found, who not only acquitted him, but presented the government for meddling with him. That he had since made his escape, and that the executive had offered a reward of 2,000 dollars for apprehending him.
A private letter from Natchez of a later date than any heretofore received, states, that Burr had wrote on to governor Claiborne to arrest WILKINSON as a TRAITOR ; and inclosed vouchers to establish the fact.

LOWER ELBA, Jan. 2.
The report of the French having sustained a severe defeat by the Russians, still maintains itself. The engagement took place between the Vistula and the Bug, and the French are said to have lost 80,000 in killed and prisoners. However this may be, there is no doubt but the affairs of the French in Poland are in a very bad way; nor is it supposed by any one that they will be able to maintain their ground in that country. By the last accounts from Berlin one third of the French army is dangerously ill. Murat is so bad that his recovery is despaired of; and Napoleon himself is said to be seriously indisposed.
Private letters from Koningsburg of the 17th ult. state, that her Prussian Majesty died of a nervous fever on that day.

LOFTY,
WILL stand the ensuing season, at the following places, to wit: at the sign of the Buck in Martinsburg, on Monday and Tuesday in each week, at Wm. Grimes's smith shop, on Hokes run, on Wednesday and Thursday in each week, and at the sign of the green Tree, in Williamsport, on Friday and Saturday in each week, and cover mares at the reduced price of five dollars for the season, two dollars for a single leap, and seven dollars for insuring a colt. I can produce a number of certificates to prove the qualities of Lofty as a foal getter. I shall only insert one given by Mr. Shaver, who owns a mill in Washington county, Maryland, as follows:—
March 11th, 1806. I do hereby certify, that I put two mares to Lofty, and the colts are much finer than any colts I have had from any other Horse, and I think them the best colts in the neighbourhood, and believe him to be a sure foal getter.
JOHN SHAVER.
LOFTY is a chestnut sorrel, with a blaze in his face, upwards of sixteen hands high and well made, he is at least three fourths of the Arabian blood, which his appearance and activity will show. The season will commence on the 1st of April, and end on the last of June. On the 1st day of September next the money for the season will be due, and the insurance when it is ascertained that the mare is with foal; parting with the mare forfeits the insurance. I will procure a good groom, but will not be answerable for any accidents which may happen to the mares.

YOUNG MATCHLESS,
WILL stand this season at John M'Clary's Tavern, in Martinsburg, on Mondays and Tuesdays, and on Wednesdays and Thursdays at Hardscrabble near Benjamin Foreman's Mill, and on Fridays and Saturdays at Nathan Trail's Tavern, in Shepherd's-Town, and cover mares at four dollars the season, two dollars the single leap, (if not paid when the mare is covered) to be considered as engaged for the season, and eight dollars to insure a foal, but if the mare is parted with, the insurance to be forfeited, the money for the season to be paid the first of October, and for insurance when the mare proves with foal.
YOUNG MATCHLESS was got by Col. Burwell's Matchless, and Matchless by his celebrated horse Emperor, and his dam by Capt. Jacob Vandoren's Old Snap. Young Matchless is an elegant dapple gray, sixteen and a half hands high, six years old this spring, and is well calculated for either saddle or draft. Young Matchless is the property of Mr. Abraham Correll, by whom he was kept last season.

The money for the season to be paid the first of October next, and for insurance when the mare proves with foal, but if the mare is parted with, the insurance to be forfeited.
PRESIDENT is a handsome bay, with a star, snip and four white feet, he is sixteen hands high, six years old this spring, and is remarkably strong and active. He was got by Col. Burwell's full bred Horse Matchless, out of a handsome Eupopus mare. It is thought unnecessary to say any thing more of his pedigree, as his colts, which are very fine and well known in this neighbourhood, will better recommend him, and his appearance alone, would be satisfactory to good judges.
The season will begin the 1st of April, and end the last day of June next.
