Important Foreign Intelligence.
The following important intelligence received by the sloop Mary-Ann, from New-York, was published yesterday in an extra Ledger; for the benefit of our Subscribers in the country it is now republished.
BOSTON, September 2. LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
By the arrival of the ship Sally, capt. Lewis, 42 days from Liverpool, we have received our London files complete to the 17th July. They furnish much highly interesting news; and we have endeavoured to give, under our foreign head, a general sketch.
The French Bulletins are received to No. 83; we had previously published the 79th. They are given in the same manner as in the English papers. Respecting the battle of Friedland, &c. we have added two other accounts, one from a French, and one from a Russian officer; the latter account, is said, in the French papers, to have been taken from an intercepted letter. No official Russian accounts of the late battles had been received in England.
An armistice was agreed upon between the emperor Napoleon and Alexander, at Tilsit, the 21st June; and Treaties of Peace are said to have been signed between Russia, Prussia, and France, the 29th of the same month. The negotiation had been conducted with the same speed as the march of the armies of those powers. The particulars of the negotiation, and the terms of the treaties, have not transpired; except indeed, the reported ones mentioned in the Rotterdam article.
The report of a revolution in Turkey is confirmed: Mustapha IV. a cousin of Selim, has succeeded to the throne.
The British were apprehensive that Denmark would be compelled by France to shut up the Sound; and were about sending a strong fleet to the Baltic, to shew both Denmark and France that neither of them have the right nor the power to exclude her.
The expedition which had sailed from England, for Stralsund, had not been recalled.
Mr. Purvis reached London the 15th July. We see no particular observation, either in the British Parliament, or of the London Editors, which tend to shew otherwise than that the negotiation of our ministers was in amicable train.

Marshal Ney proceeding to Gumbinnen, secured some of the enemy's parks of artillery, many wounded Russians, and took a great number of prisoners.
No. 82, dated
TILSIT, June 22.
An Armistice has been concluded, upon the proposition of the Russian general. The following is the Armistice:
Armistice between France and Russia.
As his majesty the emperor of France, and his majesty the emperor of Russia, are anxious to put an end to the war which has so long divided the two nations, they have in the mean time resolved to conclude an Armistice. Their majesties have named and empowered the following Plenipotentiaries, viz. on one part the prince of Neufchatel, marshal of the empire, major general in the grand army, and on the other part, lieutenant general prince Labanoff Von Rostrow, knight of the order of St. Anne, Grand Cross; who have agreed upon the following Preliminaries:
ART. 1. An Armistice shall take place between the French and Russian armies, in order that in the mean time, a peace may be negotiated, concluded and signed, to put an end to that bloodshed which is so contrary to humanity.
ART. 2. If either of the two contracting parties shall incline to break this armistice, which God forbid! the party so inclining shall be bound to signify this at the head-quarters of the other army, and hostilities shall not again commence until one month after the above notification.
ART. 3. The French and Russian armies shall conclude a separate armistice, and officers shall be appointed for that purpose. During the four or five days requisite for the conclusion of this armistice, the French army shall undertake no hostilities against the Prussians.
ART. 4. The limits of the French and Russian armies, during the armistice, shall be from the Curisen Hoff, the Thaiweg of the Niemen, and up the left bank of that river to the mouth of the Arama at Stakhin, and pursuing the course of that river to the mouth of the Bohra, following this rivulet through Roxano, Lipsk, Habin, Dolitawo, Gomadz, and Wyna, up to the mouth of the Bohra in the Naraw, and from thence ascending the left bank of the Naraw by Tylovozyni, Surantz, Naraw to the frontiers of Prussia and Russia. On the Curisen Achrung the limits shall be at Niden.
ART. 5. His majesty the emperor of the French, and his majesty the emperor of Russia, shall name Plenipotentiaries within the shortest time pos-
sible, who are to be provided with the necessary powers for negotiating, concluding and signing a definitive peace between these two great and powerful nations.

TILSIT, June 22.
Annexed is the capitulation of Neisse. The garrison, 6000 strong in infantry and 300 cavalry, defiled on the 16th before Prince Jerome. We found in the place 200,000 pounds of powder, and 200 pieces of cannon.
PROCLAMATION of the Emperor and King to the Grand Army.
Soldiers on the 5th June we were attacked in our cantonments by the Russian army. The enemy mistook the causes of our inactivity. He found too late that our repose was that of the Lion—he regrets having disturbed it.
In the affair of Guttstadt, Heilsberg, and the ever memorable one of Friedland, in a ten days campaign in short, we took 120 pieces cannon, 7 standards, killed, wounded or took 60,000 Russians—Konigsberg, the 200 vessels that were then laden with all sorts of ammunition, 160,000 fusils, sent by England to arm our enemies.
From the banks of the Vistula we have reached the borders of the Niemen with the rapidity of the Eagle. You celebrated at Austerlitz the anniversary of the Coronation—you celebrated this year in an appropriate manner, the battle of Marengo, which put a period to the second coalition.
Frenchmen, you have been worthy of yourselves and me. You will return to France covered with Laurels, and after having obtained a glorious peace, which carries with it the guarantee of its duration. It is time that our country should live at rest, secure from the malignant influence of England. My benefits shall prove to you my gratitude, and the full extent of the love I bear you.
At the Imperial camp at Tilsit, June 22.
LONDON, July 17.
Preliminaries of peace have not only been signed between Russia and France, but according to the following letter from Rotterdam, dated at 11 o'clock at night, on the 11th, between Prussia and France. They were signed on the 29th of last month at Tilsit.
"ROTTERDAM, July 11.—night.
"We have but time to inform you, that an express from the French head-quarters brought the intelligence, that on the 29th of June, the preliminaries of Peace were signed between France, Russia, and Prussia. The particulars are not yet known."
As soon as the preliminaries were signed, the intelligence was announced to the army, and celebrated by discharge of cannon and by illuminations. Buonaparte published a proclamation to his army, in which we understand he declared, that now the peace of the continent was ensured, he would lead them back to Paris to receive the rewards they had so well merited. Of the conditions of the treaties of Peace we are not yet accurately informed; but the following are said to be amongst the principal ones:
"That Poland shall be possessed as before by Prussia and Russia:—That all the Prussian territories are to be restored, except Silesia and Westphalia;—That the fortress of Magdebourg shall be garrisoned by the French, until peace between Great-Britain and France shall take place; and that all the ports and places on this side of the Elbe shall henceforward be under the dominion and controul of France. It is conjectured that Bremen, Embden, and the whole of East Friesland, are to be united to Holland; and that Silesia is to be erected into a separate principality."
The above conditions, as our readers will see, apply almost wholly to Prussia.—Indeed it is not to be supposed that any cession of territory upon the continent would be demanded from Russia.—There are, however, we have no doubt, some stipulations with respect to the Seven Islands, and to Turkey.—France would stipulate that the war between Turkey and Russia shall cease, and the status ante bellum be established between the two powers.—We are anxious to ascertain whether in the Negotiation any mention was made of this country.
A letter from the Banks of the Elbe, states, that after the armistice was agreed upon between the emperors Buonaparte and Alexander, the latter wrote
a letter to the king of Sweden inviting him to become a party to the armistice.—A report was current that the English had been banished from Russia.
It is stated in a letter from Delvt, of July 17, that after the preliminaries of peace was signed, 29th June, between Buonaparte and Alexander, the two emperors had a meeting and mutually embraced each other, rejoicing over this event.
At the first meeting, which took place on the 25th, only the emperor Alexander and Buonaparte were present. A second interview, at which the king of Prussia was present, took place the following day; at half past twelve, in a pavilion constructed on a little island in the Niemen. A third interview took place on the 28th, which was followed by a dinner. His Prussian Majesty was also present on this occasion.
OF DENMARK.
A mail from Tonningen arrived this morning—it has not brought later intelligence from Tilsit than we received yesterday—but it has enabled us to contradict the account of Denmark having shut the Sound. On the 2d about 30 ships belonging to the expedition passed the Sound, and sailed by Copenhagen without the least molestation. A part of the expedition went through the Great Belt.—But though no attempt has yet been made to shut the Sound, ministers have reason to believe that Buonaparte will immediately after he has made peace with Russia and Prussia endeavour to make Denmark depart from her system of neutrality, and therefore they have resolved to send a strong fleet in the Baltic without loss of time.—Denmark may then reply to any demand to depart from our neutrality, that such a measure would be of no avail. Great-Britain having so powerful a fleet in the Baltic.
The fleet which is to be sent to the Baltic will consist of 25 sail of the line, besides frigates, sloops and brigs, amounting in all to about 40 sail. An Order (as we stated yesterday) was sent to Portsmouth, on Wednesday, for all the frigates and brigs to sail from thence, and take flat-bottomed boats.—These frigates and brigs are to go with the fleet, which is to sail immediately. The following we believe, are the Officers that will command the fleet: Admiral Gambier, Commander in Chief—under him Sir Samuel Hood, Admiral Essington, Sir Home Popham, and Commodore Kease.
As the London papers furnish a great many lengthy articles of interest, which we cannot now find room to detail, the following abstract is made.
Battle of Friedland, &c.
The French bulletins do not give the particulars of the battle of Friedland; the following is the account of the French gen. Koscinski:
"The enemy was compelled to accept battle on the 14th. The columns under the grand duke of Berg, marshals Soult and Davoust, had marched towards Konigsburg. At two o'clock in the morning of the 14th, marshal Lannes attacked the enemy, who were at least eight times stronger than his columns. The marshal maintained the battle till four o'clock, when marshal Mortier with his corps of the 3d Polish legion came to his assistance; these troops which did not exceed 32,000 men sustained for a whole day the furious attacks of the enemy, whose army was four times stronger than ours, and possessed several local advantages. At noon the emperor arrived upon the field of battle with his guard. At four o'clock all our columns were united, and the emperor took the command in order to put an end to the battle by his manoeuvres. At six o'clock marshal Ney attacked the enemy's left wing, and in a moment the horizon was quite overcast with smoke and dust. The enemy had but one bridge to effect his retreat over the Alle, and a great quantity of artillery, carriage, baggage, &c. went into the Alle, together with the small number of men and horses—between Friedland and Plaustendarr, only half a league distance from each other, several islands appeared to have been formed of the materials scattered by the Russians in the flight. In order to cover their retreat, the Russians set fire to part of Friedland beyond the bridge. At ten at night the battle and the cannonade which lasted the whole day ceased, and then the cries and the groans of the wounded were alone heard. Even now, four days after the battle, we have not finished bringing in the enemy's wounded. General Dumbrowski is wounded in the same leg which was hurt before, in the battle of Dirschau."
A Russian officer writes thus:
"From Hersberg we went to Friedland skirmishing all the way continually. There the French annihilated us. This affair is disgraceful to us. In the morning we were victorious. One single fault was the cause of the misfortune that happened to us in the evening and also of our total defeat, that of not having sufficiently fortified ourselves on the left wing. All those who could not get over the bridge were obliged to throw themselves into the Alle. I was taken prisoner. Our left wing was to drive the enemy out of the woods. We kept up a brisk fire all day without being able to effect it, till a regiment of chasseurs ran up to the enemy with a frightful bouras and drove them from the wood, but this regiment at length found itself within reach of the fire of a musket battery, which overwhelmed it with bullets and case-shot."
[The Russian officer then relates the manner in which he was made prisoner, and by what means he escaped, in passing the river before a picquet of Cossacks.]
"There I found the army in full route, retiring in disorder to the frontiers of Russia. God knows what will be the result of all this. We all wish for peace, and we hope we shall not be long without it."
The following letter has been sent from the empe-
rour Buonaparte to the archbishops and bishops in Paris, &c.
Letter from the emperor and king to the archbishops and bishops.
"MONSIEUR,
"The splendid victory obtained by our arms at Friedland, which has confounded the enemies of our people, and put the important city of Konigsburg in our power, with the large magazines which it contained, ought to be a new motive with our subjects for thanksgiving to the God of armies. This memorable victory has signalized the anniversary of the battle of Marengo; that day when still covered with the dust of the field of battle, our first concern was for the re-establishment of peace and order in the church of France. Our will is, that on the receipt of the present, you shall take the proper means of assembling our subjects of your respective dioceses in your cathedral and parish churches, there to sing a te deum, and offer up such other prayers to Heaven, as you shall think convenient to order under such circumstances." This letter having no other object, Mr. Archbishop, I pray God to have you in his safe and holy keeping.
"Written in our imperial camp at Friedland, June 15, 1807."

"NAPOLEON."
He also sent other letters to the French bishops, ordering te deum to be sung.
VIENNA, June 20.
Respecting the revolution at Constantinople, we learn, that the Mufti, at the head of 300 Janissaries, repaired to the Sultan Selim, reproached him with having rendered himself unworthy of the throne by his transgression against the laws of the Empire, (other accounts say in consequence of the scarcity of provisions, and the introduction of European exercises and discipline) and demanded the heads of 14 members of the government. Among the number were those of the Grand Admiral and the Grand Vizier, who were absent. Twelve of the heads were immediately placed on pikes, and presented to the people. Selim is dead; being poisoned by Mustapha, the new Turkish Emperor.
The Grand Vizier had gained some successes before he died. He passed the Danube at Ismail, and forced Gen. Michelson to retire from Wallachia to Foksany and Rimnick.
The new government is devoted to the Janissaries. Mustapha IV. the new emperor, is about 28 years of age, and was cousin to the late Selim. This revolution is expected to be the work of Sebastiani.
June 24.
Admiral Siniavin has been reinforced with ninety sail of Russian transports, near Tenedos.
ALTONA, July 8.
It is reported that the French minister has presented a note to the Danish Government, announcing that Buonaparte would consider the conduct of Denmark in allowing a British force to pass the Sound as a declaration of war and would immediately march an army into Holstein and Sleswig.
HAGUE, July 14.
Their Majesties the King and Queen of Holland, arrived at the Pyrenees, about the middle of last month. His health is so far reinstated that he has issued orders to return home.
NAPLES, June 9.
The Prince of Hesse Philipstall has been defeated in Calabria, and nearly all the enemy's troops are taken. The Prince attended by about 50 horsemen and some servants, escaped to Reggio; and immediately embarked for Italy. Scarcely had he left Reggio when the French Gen. Abbe arrived there.
HAMBURG, July 6.
Our Dutch garrisons are soon to be replaced by Spanish troops; the advanced corps have arrived. A Spanish division of 14,000 is now passing Mentz, to join Gen.

Accounts of the affair of the Chesapeake, reached London on the 28th of July, in consequence of which a general Embargo was immediately imposed. At the expiration of five days it was raised, and pri- vate letters say that there is no doubt but that all matters will be amicably adjusted. These accounts are down to the 4th of August.
The Emperor of Russia is to invite the King of Sweden to make peace with France, which invitation the latter will no doubt accept of. We regret that we have no papers containing these interesting par- ticulars—they may be expected by the next mail.

TRIAL OF AARON BURR.
WEDNESDAY, September 2.
Mr. Hay wished to know whether he understood the opinion of the court correctly, as to what would constitute an overt act of treason. According to his construction of that opinion, the evidence of the transactions at Blannerhasset's island did not am- ount to an overt act. If so, it would be impro- per to proceed with the prosecution of Blannerhas- sett and Smith, on the indictments now found against them. He certainly should not press upon the ju- ry, doctrines in opposition to the court; but should consider it his duty, to enter a nolle prosequi , and move to send them for trial to the place where an overt act was committed.
The Chief Justice said that it was undoubtedly the opinion of the court, that the facts proven to have been committed at Blannerhasset's island did not amount to an overt act of treason. But the court did not intend that their opinion should apply to the facts of any particular case. They only meant to declare the law, leaving it to the jury to determine from the facts submitted to them, whe- ther an overt act of treason had been committed or not.
Mr. Hay observed, that he should enter a nolle prosequi as to Blannerhasset and Smith, and move the court to commit them together with the person who now stands before them indicted of a misdemea- nor, in order that they may be sent to the place where the overt act was committed; if the court were of opinion after hearing the evidence that it would be proper to do so. For this purpose he mov- ed that Blannerhasset and Smith be brought into court.—Col. Burr contended, that his case and that of Mr. Blannerhasset and Mr. Smith was quite se- parate and distinct, and that the motion could not be blended. To hear them together would tend to produce confusion. He should insist that the moti- on against him be taken up separately. He should also insist that there be a specification of the place where the offence was supposed to have been com- mitted.—Mr. Hay said, he did not know that he was bound to specify the place; but he had no ob- jection to doing it as far as was in his power. It is said that col. Burr was at the mouth of Cumber- land; there he was joined by Blannerhasset and Smith; and from thence descended the river with the forces which he had been collecting; their num- ber of men and military accoutrements increasing till the moment when they were finally dispersed.— It will be in the power of the court to say after the evidence should be heard, whether they should be sent to another place for trial, and to what place. He confessed that he made the motion with a great deal of reluctance. He had pondered the subject very much; and it was the course which his con- science and a sense of duty prescribed. The form of the motion was objected to. It was said that he had no right to blend the examination of the three persons accused. The propriety of this course must be obvious. Blannerhasset and Smith would not be bound by evidence which was not delivered in their presence. If a motion should be made se- parately, the evidence must be three times repeated. It is supposed that much confusion will result from
a joint examination. He did not expect to have heard such observations addressed to the court.— However chaotic, however confused the case may be, the court will have no difficulty in separating the evidence and applying it to each person. But he believed the testimony would bear equally upon all; for they were all present. If however, it should be the pleasure of the court to hear the motions se- parately he should acquiesce.
Col. Burr remarked, that there would be no ne- cessity to repeat the testimony, because the court could recollect it and apply it to the case of each individual. Besides some evidence might be deem- ed necessary by some, which would not be by an- other.
Mr. Botts said, that col. Burr, having gone thro' one trial for the whole treason, he stood upon differ- ent grounds from any one of the others. Different, not only as it related to many legal questions, but to the evidence which might be adduced. When the evidence should be gone through, he expected that Mr. Hay's overt act would be to himself a subject of ridicule. Besides there were separate counsel retain- ed for the several gentlemen; and the examination ought, as nearly as possible to assume the shape of a final and regular trial.
Mr. Wickham observed, that col. Burr had been tried for treason; and the jury had found a verdict of NOT GUILTY. He was consequently entitled to his discharge, though he had not yet moved for it. He appears as any other innocent man, and unless something else should be exhibited, he could not with any degree of propriety be detained longer in custody. Again; the scene of action laid by the counsel for the prosecution, embraces a range of fif- teen hundred miles. Suppose a man arrested by a warrant on suspicion of treason or felony. Would not the prosecutor be compelled to designate some place where the crime was supposed to have been committed? Surely he would.
Chief Justice. With respect to the verdict not guilty, that is a question of law and not of fact.— On the question of a general charge of treason or fe- lony, I understand the law to be that the accusa- tion may be brought against any individual; and it is the duty of the judge to enquire whether a crime has been committed against the United States. If the judge shall be of opinion that an offence has been committed, but not within the jurisdiction of the court, it is the duty of the district judge to re- move the accused to the district where the offence was committed. That a grand jury may find a bill conjointly against several persons, he believed, there could be no doubt; but he was not certain whether they could be tried together before the petit jury without their own consent. He was rather inclined to think that they could not.
Col. Burr said there could be no doubt but that there could not be a joint trial without the consent of parties.
The Chief Justice mentioned a difficulty which he did not know how the court could get over. Col. Burr was now in custody of the marshal, and bound to answer an indictment for a misdemeanor. He did not know how he could be taken out of that custo- dy and sent to a foreign jurisdiction for trial of an- other offence.
Mr. Hay. I shall make the motion to the court, and leave it to the court to decide.
Chief Justice said he did not know how he could do it.
Mr. Hay. I know how to do it. When the court is called upon to decide and the difficulty presents itself, I will remove it. I do not expect to untie the knot, but I can cut it.
Mr. Wickham contended, that the difficulty should be removed in the first instance. Col. Burr was now in custody.
Mr. Hay observed, that it was obvious the ques- tion did not occur till the court was called upon to transmit the accused. Then the difficulty will pre- sent itself and not before.
Mr. Botts said, the subject presented two ques- tions, one to commit , and the other to transmit to a foreign court. Which was the most regular in the order of proceedings? Surely the commitment.— Suppose col. Burr had been in custody, and bound to answer in another court—could this court act up- on him till he was discharged from his prosecution there?
Mr. Wickham, after making some observations as to the course of proceedings in this case, said, that this might be sport to the government. He would not say it was death to col. Burr; but it was death to every individual whom the government might think proper to persecute.
Chief Justice. This court commits , the district judge transmits . But why commit for custody? He is already in custody.
Mr. Hay. The application to you, Sir, is to com- mit. If the district judge should find any difficulty, upon enquiring into the circumstances, it will be removed.
Chief Justice. The only doubt is whether this court is not bound to hear the whole case before a decision is made. Suppose the motion had been made before the district judge, might he not require a decision upon the present indictment before he committed? (After examining the law) The Chief Justice said, that when a person was to be trans- mitted to a foreign court, if the offence was baila- ble, the court was to take a recognizance of bail.— Now, can the court take a recognizance to appear in another court when the party is bound to appear in this?
This court is bound to specify the court to which the accused is to be sent; and the district judge is bound to send him.
Mr. Blannerhasset and Mr. Smith were brought into court by the marshal.
Mr. Hay observed, that the three persons then before the court, all stood in the same situations and the same difficulties applied to all. He regretted that the court had not expressed an opinion before the prisoners had been sent for. He was not disposed to disturb the opinions of the court; but would go on with the trial for a misdemeanor against col. Burr.
The clerk was about to read the indictment for a misdemeanor, when he was interrupted by col. Burr, who said he was not to be arraigned, but might plead by attorney. He said that he was not in court upon that indictment. He was only in court because he had not moved to be discharged from the first indictment. He hoped that nothing which had passed would prevent a full consideration of this subject. In this case he wished to set up cer- tain landmarks by which others might be guided, who were to follow; and he feared there would be many.
Mr. Wirt enquired as to the effect of the procla- motion which was made by the marshal after the jury had returned their verdict. The usual course was, (and the one which had been adopted in this case,) for the officer to make proclamation if any person "knew of any treasons, felonies, or other misdemeanors committed or done by the prisoner at the bar, let them come forth and they shall be heard." The prisoner at the bar stands upon his "deliverance," that is, his discharge.
Mr. Hay. It was at first objected that col. Burr was in custody, and therefore he could not be trans- mitted to any other court. We are now told that he is not in custody.
Mr. Botts went into a lengthy argument to prove that although col. Burr was corporally present, he was not legally in court. He produced a number of precedents from the records of the general court of this state, as well as of the Federal court, to show that after an indictment for a misdemeanor, the re- gular process was a summons , and not a capias by which the body could be arrested. He relied par- ticularly on the opinion of judge Iredell pronounced in Mundell's case , in which he considered the prac- tice of the state courts as adopted throughout by the judicial act of congress, and on the practice in Sinclair's case which was a prevention under this very act.—In the latter case, the process was a summons .
Col. Burr observed, that his counsel considered it a question of policy not to move for his discharge immediately. In submitting to give bail as to the misdemeanor in the first instance, it was never his intention to admit the right to demand it.
The Chief Justice said, that he had determined in the first instance that bail was demandable, without considering the subject fully. He thought the law was clear. But he was open to conviction. He did not think himself precluded from a full examina- tion of its propriety.
Mr. Hay said, he was not solicitous as to the re- sult of the motion. The question now was, whether the prisoner should appear to the indictment for a misdemeanor without bail. Whenever a motion should be made to discharge him altogether, he should object to it, on the ground that treason had been committed elsewhere. He relied upon the act of congress, which said, that for any crime or offence against the U.S. the prisoner upon an arrest should be permitted to give bail. He also relied upon the practice of this court in the case of Logwood . He had no doubt as to the application of the law of con- gress to the practice of the state courts in civil cases. His only doubts were whether it applied to criminal cases.
Mr. Wickham considered that the act of congress declaring that the usual mode of process of the several states in criminal cases should be adopted, was con- clusive upon this question.—The act of congress fixes the punishment, but the proceedings are to be according to the laws of the several states. He had no objection to state the motives which governed the counsel of col. Burr, in submitting to bail as to misdemeanor. Such was the infatuation of the publick mind, that if the grand jury had not found a true bill as to the treason, it was be- lieved that col. Burr would have been taken with or without process, and sent to some other place. He therefore gave bail as to the misdemeanor, in order that he might be under the protection of the court.
The Chief Justice said, that when he gave his opinion on the question of entering into an exami- nation of evidence with a view to send the accused to Cumberland or to some other place, it was pre- dicted on the idea that he was actually confined by the process of this court. The precedents of this court which have been quoted, seem to settle the practice very different from my ideas of the law of congress, in relation to criminal prosecutions. The question deserves consideration; and if I should be of opinion that I am bound by those precedents then the foundation on which I gave my opinion fails.
Mr. Hay enquired, where would be the propriety of issuing a process to bring a person into court, who was actually before it.
The Ch. Jus. said, that if a capias should be deter- mined to be the proper process, he should consider the state of the party as sufficient, and might direct the marshal to take him into custody; but if a sum- mons should be considered the regular process, he could not make such an order; and a venire must be awarded. If a venire issues, it will involve a ques- tion, whether the party is not entitled to a conti- nuance.
The court took time to consider, and adjourned till to-morrow 10 o'clock.
THURSDAY, September 3.
The Chief Justice delivered his opinion as to the process on an indictment for a misdemeanor of the kind charged against col. Burr; and the result of which was, after examining the laws of congress and reviewing all the precedents, that the regular process was a capias .
As soon as this opinion was delivered, Mr. Hay observed that he would then proceed to the trial of the indictment for the misdemeanor.—Ch. Jus. The issue must be made up, I suppose.—Mr. Burr. A letter has been demanded from the president of the U. States, which has been often promised, but never produced. I wish to know if that letter is in court, and whether it cannot be put into the hands of the clerk.—Mr. Hay. I believe that it is not in my pos- session, for I have not been able to find it among my papers after a minute search. It is possible that it may be among them. Perhaps it may not be neces- sary to produce it, as there is a copy of it which is ready to be verified by the oath of more than one person.—Mr. Burr. I cannot admit a copy. It is certainly strange, that after the President's promise this letter is not here.—Mr. Martin. It is within my knowledge, that Mr. Rodney has been to the ci- ty of Washington since the application was made for this paper.—Mr. Hay. I have made a minute search among the large bundles of papers, which Mr. Rodney has transmitted to me, but I have not yet found it. Gen. Wilkinson has a copy of the letter verified on oath.—Chief Justice. Unless the loss of the original be proved, a copy cannot be ad- mitted.
Mr. Burr then observed that he should now call the attention of the court to the subject of bail; as the opinion just delivered by the court demands bail, that since bail was demanded of him on a former occasion, circumstances had considerably varied, and some had occurred which ought to mitigate the amount of bail: that it was useless for him to mention those circumstances as they were well
known, and it would consequently be understood that he was not as able to give as much bail; that it should also be recollected, that the prosecution for treason had failed; and that under such circum- stances he conceived that half the sum which was demanded on a former occasion was sufficient for the present.
The Chief Justice observed, that in demanding bail on the present occasion, he would not make any reference to any charge which may be made hereaf- ter—that on the former occasion, he had not taken into view the charge of treason, nor ought he to do it on the present occasion; that he thought and does still think that his former bail was a very high sum; for to bail any man in a sum six times high- er than the fine to which the punishment of that offence could subject him, was certainly a high sum, particularly in a country whose constitution forbids the exaction of excessive bail; but that he was disposed on that occasion to require as high a bail as he could reconcile with his ideas of pro- priety. Circumstances however had varied since that occasion. Debts of a civil nature had come against the accused, which would necessarily in- crease the difficulty of his giving bail. Under all these considerations he should be content with the sum of 5000 dollars.
Mr. Wirt suggested, whether the taking of bail would not entangle the prosecution in their motion for commitment; and whether this motion could not be heard before the present measure was adopted. Would not this recognizance impede the motion for commitment?
The Chief Justice observed, that the court could not hear such a motion at present. They could hear it at any time, if the counsel for the pro- secutions would get rid of the trial for a misdemea- nor. For so long as Mr. Burr was bound by his recognizance, he himself could not take him out of the possession of the court to send him to another court for trial.
Mr. Wirt. Is the court then prepared to say, that after a man is bailed for an inferior offence, he is ex- empt from any motion to commit him for a higher offence? will not such a motion operate to exone- rate him from his recognizance.
Chief Justice. The court have no right to hear such a motion.
Mr. Wirt. I mean no disrespect to the court; but they will permit me to enquire, whether a man if bound only for 5000 dollars, is thereby exonerated from any responsibility for the perpetration of some enormous crime; such as murder or treason. Does not such a doctrine hold out the chance of im- punity to every man that is charged with a capital offence?
Ch. Jus. Does not this inconvenience arise from your placing yourself in this situation?—Mr. Mar- tin. The counsel may easily get rid of this difficulty by entering a nolle prosequi to the indictment for the misdemeanor.
Mr. Hay suggested a method for removing the difficulty. He wished to remove Mr. Burr for his trial to another district. Most of the witnesses have been here for a long time, and he wished to dismiss them as soon as possible. Let the court then hear this motion; if after the evidence is pro- duced, and not till then does the difficulty occur, he cannot be removed under existing circumstances, the counsel for the prosecution would then enter an Ex- oneretur , or waive the necessity of his appearance al- together.
Mr. Botts objected to this method of bargaining with the court, that "they will exonerate, if the court would only commit." Who occasioned the present difficulty? Not the court; but the counsel for the prosecution. Was this difficulty a merito- rious or a necessary one? Is it meritorious? The fact alleged is the very same out of which both the treason and the misdemeanor have grown. Can the counsel for the prosecution make two offences out of one fact? If so, he may make 2000. If a man be ac- quitted on this indictment, he might be indicted for a riot; he might be indicted for every man's life who falls in the war: he might be indicted for an unlawful assemblage. There is no merit then in this duplicate prosecution; there is no fairness in thus multiplying offences.
A long and desultory conversation on this sub- ject ensued, when the Chief Justice observed that he was disposed to give it a more serious considera- tion.
Mr. Wirt. This question is not so optional with us as the court may conceive. The accused may move for a continuance of the cause; and I consider his mention of a letter as the harbinger of such a motion.
Chief Justice. If I do continue this cause, I will consider on the propriety of granting the motion for a commitment, after the merits of that motion have been opened.
Mr. Burr. Shall they cut up this fact into two offences? It is oppression to be thus giving so many faces to one offence; particularly after they have been so completely baffled in one of their prosecu- tions.
Mr. Wirt. If we give two different faces to this prosecution, it is because he has given so many fa- ces to his transactions. It is because he was look- ing at the same time to the North as well as to the South; and while projecting a central revolution, he was meditating an invasion to Mexico. As to our being baffled in the other prosecution, it was not from the want of evidence, but from his escaping under the shelter of the law. We have thought as the grand jury did, and as the most illuminated men in the state have done, we have been misled by that very interpretation of the opinion of the supreme court, which almost every man in the state would have given.
Mr. Burr then observed that he had lately disco- vered that a letter of gen. Wilkinson of the 12th of November was material to his defence. He had made an affidavit to that effect.
Mr. Hay observed that he had that letter; but he would beg leave to state, that in general Wilkin- son's letters there was a great deal of matter which ought not to be made publick; among the rest se- veral strictures upon certain characters in the Wes- tern country, which were freely imparted to the go- vernment in the strictest confidence. Would it not be better to trust the court with the selection of such parts as it might deem necessary to the defence of the accused?
Chief Justice determined that he would proceed upon the trial of the indictment for a misdemeanor, to-morrow, if col. Burr should be ready.
Col. Burr was declared by the court to be dis- charged from the indictment of treason.
General Jonathan Dayton appeared in court; and

Mr. Wickham observed, that if it was the pleasure of the prosecution to proceed upon the indictment for treason, found against general Dayton, some steps would be necessary preparatory to a trial.
Mr. Hay said that after the decision of the court upon the doctrine of treason, he did not see the propriety of incurring the expense and trouble of a trial; especially as he did not know of any act charged against him which would amount to treason, under that decision. He therefore thought it the most correct course to enter a nolle prosequi as to that indictment; which was accordingly done.
Mr. Wickham then, as attorney for general Dayton, pleaded not guilty to the indictment for a misdemeanor.
BALTIMORE, September 9.
The President of the United States arrived in this city on Monday evening last from Washington.
AMERICAN TREATY.
We have some reason for believing, (says the Times , of July 13,) that a formal notice of the rejection of the treaty between England and America has been received by government. The chief objection that is understood to be made is the right of searching American vessels. Private information has, however, led us to suppose, that this right might have been waived on the part of the British government, if the Americans would have suffered English Agents to reside in their ports, to see the bona fide unloading of the Colonial produce of the West India islands, prior to its being shipped for Europe.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 7.
Extract of a letter, dated
LONDON, July 15.
"The Cornplanter, from this port, and Philadelphia, from Liverpool, for your port, will sail in a week. Spanish privateers are capturing American vessels; we have accounts of four captures in the last 4 days. Insurance has risen to 5 guineas. Mr. Purviance has arrived with the treaty, and many people are afraid war with America will be the result of it. Stocks keep up in expectation of a general peace, but I think the latter very improbable, as France will insist on England's giving up her acquisitions in the West Indies and South America."
A letter has been received in town from a gentleman in London, stating that when the return of Mr. Purviance, with the treaty, was announced, it produced a violent sensation in London, and the prevailing sentiment was that a war with the United States would be the inevitable consequence.
Important Foreign Intelligence,
Received by arrivals at NEW-YORK and BOSTON.
LONDON, July 16.
This morning arrived mails from New York and Halifax, brought to Falmouth, by the Duke of Kent packet.
The American sloop of war Wasp , being released from quarantine at Portsmouth, Mr. Purviance, Secretary to the American Ambassadors, landed yesterday morning, and set off for London.
The island of Sicily is invested by the French, and will inevitably be added to her other conquests in that quarter.
Affairs in Egypt.
We have official accounts from Egypt, which are by no means so gloomy as those previously received. The loss at Rosetta, instead of 1400, was only 750; and the troops at Alexandria, were in no danger of wanting provisions, having a constant supply of the best kinds.
The Rochefort squadron is ready for sea; and watching an opportunity to escape.
Invasion Revived.
Letters from the coast state, that already very active preparations appear to be making on the heights near Boulogne, for the re-establishment of an immense camp. A great number of new huts have lately been erected, all of which are painted white, exhibiting to the distant spectator a very formidable appearance. The vessels composing the grand flotilla, intended for the invasion of this country are represented by no means to be in a state of decay.
Jerome Buonaparte is, we hear, to be Sovereign of Hanover, and part of the Prussian possessions in Westphalia, and probably part of Hesse, with the title of Grand Duke of Hanover.
The king of Prussia is to resign all his territories as far as the Elbe; the grand duke of Berg is to have Hesse, as far as Hanau, and the greatest part of Westphalia is to be added to Holland.
The diet of Hungary has granted to the Emperor a considerable peace establishment, which in the event of war, is immediately to be raised to 150,000 men.
The Jamaica homeward bound fleet has arrived. Mr. Purviance has arrived from America, with the treaty unratified. He was detained at Falmouth five days, on board the Wasp , in consequence of the indisposition of the crew, five of whom had died on the voyage.
GEN. BENNIGSEN'S DISPATCHES.
Battle of Friedland, &c.
Copies of the dispatches from Gen. Bennigsen, to the emperor Alexander.
Head-quarters at Wehlau, June 15.
The enemy having immediately directed the whole of his force from Heilsberg towards Friedland and Wehlau, with an intention to cut off my army from the Pregel, I humbly beg leave to inform your royal majesty, that I could not form any position at Schippenheil, but made a forced march to Friedland on the 13th instant.
The advanced detachment, which I sent forward to occupy that town, found the place at 3 P. M. in the possession of four squadrons of the enemy, which were however, driven out immediately.
In order to keep possession of the town, that my troops might rest from their fatigue, I sent some infantry to the left bank of the Alle during the night. But in the morning at break of day, the enemy attacked my advanced posts, and at half after five the cannonade commenced. I therefore sent another division of my army across the river, to support the other troops, as I had reason to suppose the enemy's van only had come up. The enemy was repulsed at every point, and the troops fought for fourteen hours together with the greatest bravery, and
proved always victorious. General Oudinot, whose division formed the right wing of the enemy, attempted to make an attack with the bayonet; but my left wing eagerly advanced upon him and destroyed an entire column. Another column was routed. The cavalry of my right wing, also made an impetuous and successful attack upon the cuirassiers, pursuing them as far as Heinrichsdorf, which village supported the left wing of the enemy. At 3 in the afternoon Buonaparte arrived in person, with the rest of his army, and sheltered by a wood, he reinforced his wing in such a degree, that at six, when he commenced a fresh attack, and opened upon my left wing a masked battery of forty pieces of cannon, I was under the necessity of resolving to commence my retreat, which was effected in the best order, and my rear stopped the whole force of the enemy, until my troops had crossed the Alle. Although my loss, during a battle which lasted sixteen hours, and from my army's being obliged to file off over a bridge, which was exposed to the enemy's artillery, cannot be inconsiderable, the enemy must have lost an equal number at least, since the attack with the bayonet, and that of the cavalry has caused him a great loss, and as in the former we took from him the Eagle of the 15th regiment of the line. Nor has the enemy taken any other prisoners but such as were wounded dangerously, and which could not be removed from the town, and only some dismounted pieces of cannon belonging to the regiments, with a few which could not be removed, because the horses attached to them had been shot, fell into his hands. On the other hand, all our pieces of camp artillery were got off safe. I am now taking with my army a position behind the Pregel, near Wehlau, causing all the passes of that river, as far as Konigsberg and Insterberg, to be occupied by my troops, in consequence whereof I have re-opened a communication with general L'Estocq. If the enemy should venture to cross the Pregel I shall attack him immediately, and the reinforcements which are already on their march, will soon supply my loss, and enable me once more to cope with the enemy.
(Signed)
BENNIGSEN.
ANOTHER DISPATCH.
From the camp at Schillapowschen, June 17.
After the surrender of Konigsberg, my position at Wehlau was no longer tenable, and having been informed by gen. L'Estocq that I should make my retreat on the road of Tilsit, I requested him to follow me; I commenced the retreat yesterday. I am happy most humbly to inform your royal majesty, that I have this day formed a junction with that general, and that my army besides, has this day received a reinforcement of 3000 men. Moreover, the division from Cow, will pass the frontier tomorrow, consequently my loss will not only be replaced in a very short time, but I shall even be stronger than I was before the battle of Friedland. Thus of all the results of that lost battle, the surrender of Konigsberg proves the worst: for unless the enemy pursue me with too great a superiority of numbers, and provided he allow me sufficient time to draw towards me my reinforcements, I shall directly advance, and I hope to recover from the enemy the advantages which he has obtained.
(Signed)
BENNIGSEN.
TILSIT, June 25.—The conference of the two emperors of Russia and France, took place yesterday, at one o'clock in the afternoon, on a raft in the Niemen, on which gen. Lerebussiere, commander of the artillery of the guards, had caused one pavillion to be erected for their imperial majesties, and another for their attendants. His majesty the emperor Napoleon, attended by the grand duke of Berg, prince of Neufchatel, marshal Bessiers, grand marshal of the palace, Duroc, and Caulaincourt, master of the horse, proceeded to the banks of the Niemen, and went on board the vessel which was to take him to the raft. At the same time the emperor Alexander, with the grand duke Constantine, general Bennigsen, general Onwaroff, prince Labanoff, and his first adjutant-general count Lieben, put off from the opposite banks.
The two vessels reached the raft at the same time; the two Emperors embraced each other on leaving the vessels, and entered the pavillion prepared for them. This conference lasted about two hours; and when it was closed, the attendants of the two emperors were admitted. The emperor Alexander paid many handsome compliments to the French officers who attended Napoleon, and the latter conversed for a long time with the Grand Duke Constantine and with Gen. Bennigsen. Both emperors returned afterwards to their vessels.
TILSIT, June 26.—Last night, immediately after the conference was over, Prince Labanoff arrived at the French head quarters. A convention was concluded, that one half of the town of Tilsit is to be considered as neutral. His majesty the emperor Alexander, his retinue and guards are to take up quarters in the neutral part of the town.
"The emperor of Russia intends we understand, to dine this day with the French emperor, and it is supposed, that the King of Prussia will be of the party."
Insurrection at Constantinople.
CONSTANTINOPLE, May 31.
A sudden revolution in the government has occurred here. It is well known, that the Janizaries have long been discontented with the Nizam Geddick, or new military tactics. The first symptoms appeared on the 25th instant, at Cavac, a castle upon the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus, in a quarrel between a Janizary and a soldier of the Nizam Geddick, about the new uniform worn by the latter. The Janizary went so far as to reproach the Grand Seignor. The commandant of the castle, hearing of this, gave the Janizary a severe reprimand; a bloody conflict immediately commenced; in which the commandant fell. The insurgents then turned their rage against Mahmud Effendi, who was Reis Effendi in 1805, and was lately inspector of the fortifications, they pursued him to the opposite shore, and massacred him at Bujukdere, together with his secretary, and two domestics.
On the 26th of May they made their appearance at Constantinople. The Grand Seignor not only granted them an amnesty, but also confirmed their choice of an Albanian, as their chief. Cannon were immediately discharged, probably intended as a signal to the rest of their party. On the 28th, between 2 and 3000 men had assembled from various quarters, and made themselves masters of the barracks and artillery of Tophana. Other soldiers also joined them.
The insurgents now applied to the Mufti, in order to obtain his consent to the deposition of the Sultan, against whom they objected; that in consequence of the new measures adopted by him, the laws of Mahometism had been violated, they also urged the propriety of deposing him, as consistent with the laws of the Koran, because in the course of seven years he was without any direct issue. The Mufti found himself obliged to comply with the demands of the insurgents; and, in consequence of his fetwa, the insurrection became general all through Constantinople. The Grand Vizier sought to allay the storm by the adoption of moderate measures, and sent a very condescending letter to the Janissaries; but it had no effect. He sent them the heads of the Bosange Baschi, and of ministers, against whom they were bitterly enraged—but even this was of no avail. The ci-devant Kiaja Bey Ibrahim, against whom the publick mind was most prejudiced, had disguised himself; but, being discovered, he was cut in pieces, and the parts of his body carried about as a spectacle. The treasurer of the Nizam Geddick, and one of his secretaries shared the same fate.
On the 29th of May, Selim abdicated the throne, and was conducted to the ancient Seraglio, from whence his cousin, Mustapha, son of Abdul Hamid, was brought out and proclaimed emperor.—He is a very spirited young man, about 28 years of age.
When he came to the Mosque of Achmet, he was saluted by loud acclamations from the Janizaries. Mustapha IV. the new emperor has given the Ex-Sultan Selim, assurances of his care and protection.
The Kaimakan and the First Dragoman are both reinstated in their offices: Aled Effendi, the late ambassador at Paris, is appointed to succeed the present Reis Effendi, who is with the army.
The captain Pacha sailed some days since against the Russian fleet, at Tenedos.
Another Account.
VIENNA, June 21.
Our court has received a courier from Constantinople, with dispatches, announcing a revolution to have taken place in that capital—but nothing has yet been published in the Gazette . The following are the contents of two private letters:
"The emperor Selim is no more—the discontented occasioned among the people by the scarcity of provisions, and among the Janissaries by the European exercise and discipline, furnished the enemies of government with an occasion to excite an insurrection, which cost the unhappy Sultan his throne and life.
On the 24th May the Mufti at the head of the malcontents, repaired with 300 Janissaries to the Seraglio and read to him a list of his pretended offences, recited passages from the Koran, which declared him, on account of those offences, unworthy of the throne, and ordered him to sign a renunciation of it.
Selim, seeing no means of resistance, signed the deed of his renunciation, and begged his life. The Mufti promised to intercede for him. His person was then secured, and 14 of his principal ministers were put to death. Couriers were sent to the camp and the Dardanelles to arrest and strangle the Grand Vizier and the Captain Pacha.
On the 25th of May, a proclamation was published in Constantinople, to announce to the people that the Sultan had been dethroned, and to make known his offences. The people were invited to remain tranquil and mind their affairs. On the 26th Mustapha, the son of Achmet, was proclaimed Grand Seignor. On the 27th he sent an order to Selim to take poison. Selim obeyed and died in a short time.
During the whole of this revolution but few disorders were committed. The mass of the people took no part at all; so that we attribute this catastrophe to some chiefs of parties yet unknown and to the Janissaries. All foreigners have been ordered to be respected.
We are assured that the Grand Vizier made no resistance to the order sent him, and was strangled. Of the Captain Pacha we know nothing.
The Grand Vizier had gained some successes before he died: he passed the Danube at Ismail, and forced general Michelson to retire from Wallachia to Foksany and Rimnick.
The new administration is entirely composed of persons devoted to the Janissaries; we know not what dispositions it will shew towards foreign powers—yet some think the revolution will have no influence upon our foreign politics, because the insurgents strongly censure the adherents of the Russian system.
June 24.
The latest letters from Constantinople confirm the accounts of the deposition of Selim, but correct most of the details given in the first reports.—Hitherto Mustapha has kept his promise of preserving the life of Selim. The prince is still alive, residing in the Old Seraglio.
June 28.
Pacific.
To the Note given in Warsaw on the part of Austria on the 3d April, the answer transmitted on the part of France signified that his majesty the emperor Napoleon willingly accepted the friendly intervention of Austria for the restoration of peace, so necessary to all nations. His majesty, however, expressed his fears that that power which had hitherto founded its greatness on the disputes of the continent, would find new pretexts to promote dissention in the Congress which it was proposed to establish. France however, who it is well known had been forced into the war against its will, would not neglect any means which offered a hope for preventing the effusion of human blood, &c.
BANKS OF THE ELBE, July 6.
Sicily.
Letters from Naples say, we may now speedily expect the capture of the island of Sicily by a corps of French. It is believed that this conquest will be the easier, as the fruitless expedition of the prince of Hesse Philipstal has deprived the court of Palermo of the remainder of its troops, and the greater part of the English troops which were in Sicily, have been sent to Egypt.

One Hundred Dollars Reward.
On the 25th of last month, my negro man GERARD ran away from my Mansion plantation, in King-George county, Virginia. He is about five feet and a half high, stout made, when standing appears to bend backwards in the knee joints, has thick lips, a pimpled face, his complexion of a yellow cast, and a scar in the form of an M, about an inch long on his right cheek. He is upwards of thirty years of age, and a Blacksmith by trade. He ran away many years ago, and was apprehended at Norfolk on board a vessel; and, as he has formerly been somewhat accustomed to going by water, it is probable that he will attempt to leave this state in that way. I therefore hereby forewarn all masters or skippers of vessels from harbouring or employing him. I will give a reward of one hundred dollars for apprehending, bringing said negro home, and delivering him to me, provided he shall be apprehended in another state—Twenty dollars provided he shall be apprehended any where in this state, brought home and delivered to me; and ten dollars in case he shall be apprehended and committed to jail, and information thereof given to me. I would advise the apprehender to watch him carefully while he is in his custody, as he is an arch and deceitful fellow, and might without strict attention effect his escape.
