Accounts from Washington state, that the doors of the Senate of the United States, on the 16th ult. were closed a little before twelve o'clock, on a motion to proceed to the consideration of Executive business.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
December 23.
Mr. Elliot rose for the purpose of offering the resolutions of which he had given previous notice. He said he should not on this occasion avail himself of the ordinary indulgence of the house so liberally accorded to members who made long speeches on short resolutions. If the resolutions should be seconded, he would briefly state their general object, and then move their reference to a committee of the whole on the state of the union, and if so referred, he would on a future day (for the state of his health did not admit of it on this day) assign at length his reasons for them.
Mr. Elliot then offered the following resolutions—
1. Resolved, That it is expedient to make provisions by law for the further and more effectual protection of the commerce, the seamen, the harbors, the Coasts, and the frontiers of the U. S.
2. Resolved, That for the great purposes of national protection and defence, it is expedient to provide by law for repairing, manning and supporting in actual service the whole of the frigates and smaller vessels of war belonging to the U. S.
3. Resolved, That it is expedient to provide by law for defraying the expence incident to building two new frigates, to supply the places of the Philadelphia, which was lost during the late war with Tripoli, and the General Greene, which has been condemned as unfit for service.
4. Resolved, That provision ought to be made by law for preparing two or more navy yards, and navy arsenals, situated on or near the margin of the ocean, for the reception of ships and vessels of war, and for other naval purposes.
5. Resolved, That a committee appointed to enquire what provision it may be necessary to make by law, in relation to the location, establishment, and superintendence of navy yards and naval arsenals, the said committee report by bill or otherwise.
6. Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire what further measures are necessary for the protection of American seamen, and for their release and indemnification, when impressed into foreign service by the officers or subjects of foreign powers; and that the said committee report by bill or otherwise.
7. Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire into the situation of the ports and harbors of the U. S. into the practicability and propriety of a general system of fortification, and the expence with which it would be attended: and also into the best method of fortifying the port of New-York, and the other principal ports which are now in a defenceless state: and that the said committee report a statement of facts, with their opinion thereon to the House.
8. Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire into the expediency of investing the President of the United States by law with ample powers, to cause every aggression and attack upon the rights, the honour, and the interest of the United States, which may be committed or commenced by the officers, citizens, or subjects of any foreign power within the ports and harbours of the U. S. within the waters under their jurisdiction and upon the high seas, within certain distances of the coast, to be immediately repelled and effectually chastised; and that the said committee report by bill or otherwise.
9. Resolved, That a committee be appointed to revise the existing laws respecting the militia; to devise means for completely arming and equipping for actual service, and for more effectually organizing and disciplining the whole of the militia of the U. S. in order to render it an efficient force for the protection of the U. S. from invasion by any foreign power; and that the said committee report by bill or otherwise.
The clerk having read the resolutions, Mr. Elliot moved their reference to a committee of the whole on the state of the union.
Mr. Alston said, that the purport of some of these resolutions, had been before recommended, in the president's message, and had been referred to different committees. He wished to know whether it would be in order to refer the same subjects again.
Mr. Elliot observed, that the resolutions were of a general nature, and that the whole subjects embraced in them were not before any committee.
A motion was made that the resolutions should be referred to a committee of the whole house, on the state of the union, which was lost, and they were ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. Dawson, from the committee to whom was referred the memorial of sundry inhabitants of Alexandria and Washington, praying for a turnpike road, made a report which declares, that the prayer of the petitioners was reasonable, and ought to be granted.
The house went into a committee of the whole on the bill to prohibit the importation of slaves after the 31st day of December, 1807.
Mr. Early moved to strike out so much of the first section as inflicts the punishment of death on persons contravening the provisions of the law. He thought that such a provision would be nugatory as it would not be executed: he wished to substitute imprisonment, which would be effectual.
Mr. Smilie said, that if it were true that this part of the law would not be executed in the southern states, it did reflect much honor on the inhabitants of that portion of the union; he knew that a provision would be carried into effect in Pennsylvania. He wished the punishment to be admeasurement to the offence.
The question was taken on striking out that part of the section and carried.
Mr. Bidwell offered an amendment to the third section, providing that the slaves imported should not be forfeited.
This amendment being similar to one formerly offered to the bill, occasioned some debate, which took nearly the same turn as before.
The principal reasons, in favor of the amendment were, that the U. States by declaring that the negroes should be forfeited, recognized the right of importers of them.
That by ordering them to be sold, the United States would participate in the traffic—and, that these people ought to be re-exported to the place whence they came, &c.
On the other hand, it was contended that if the person so imported were forfeited, trade could not be prevented, and that they would be imported by vessels under foreign colors, and landed in Spanish territories, whence they could easily be conveyed into the United States. That if they were not forfeited to the United States the right to them would still remain in the importers, and they had purchased them, by which means they could still be sold. That if the importers of slaves could acquire no right to them, by purchase, the U. States had no right to re-export them, &c.
The committee of the whole reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again.
Mr. Randolph, from the committee of ways and means, reported two bills. One entitled, "A bill making appropriation for the support of the military establishment of the United States for the year 1807," which was read twice, and referred to a committee of the whole on Monday. The other was entitled, "A bill making appropriation for the support of the navy of the United States for the year 1807," which was also read twice, and referred to a committee of the whole on Friday. These bills were ordered to be printed.
The speaker stated, that since the house had last adjourned, he had received a letter, signed by Charles Bruce, of South Carolina, which stated, among other things, that the post-master general had given another person, for carrying the mail, 160 dollars more than he had agreed to do it for—with several documents accompanying the same.
Mr. Elliot thought that the letter ought to be disposed of in the same way as some other letters already received during the present session; and that it would be improper to notice it.
Mr. Alston stated, that he had seen

Bruce in S. Carolina, who had made use of similar language to that contained in his letter, to which he (Mr. A.) had made no reply; but that on enquiring into the business here, he was informed that Bruce had failed in several instances, which was the reason of his being dismissed.
Mr. Bidwell moved, that the letter and documents should be referred to the committee on post-offices and post-roads which was lost.
Several petitions of a local nature were presented and referred.
TROY (N. Y.) December 23.
Robbery and Murder Most Daringly Attempted! —We have now to relate a transaction, which, had it not taken place in our neighbourhood under our own observation (as it were,) and among our acquaintance, we should hesitate to publish, as too marvellous and extraordinary in all its circumstances for unqualified belief. But the alarm which it occasioned renders it notorious; and we have obtained a statement of the particulars from a gentleman of this village, who was immediately sent for, as concerned and interested for the persons assailed in such a murderous manner.
About four o'clock on Sunday morning last, the Half-Way-House (so called) in Watervliet, two miles and a half from this village on the road to Albany, occupied by Mr. John Pye, as a tavern, was broken open by a man in a mask and armed with at least three pistols, who, without waking any one, put out all the fire in the house, except the light in his dark lantern, and opened the doors and windows to secure a retreat, if necessary.
He then proceeded, with a loaded pistol in his hand, to Mr. Pye's chamber, and roused him. Mrs. Pye asked what he wanted; at which Mr. P. awaked. The robber demanded money; and ordered Mr. P. on peril of his life, to deliver what he had in the house. Mr. P. got up and went below with him, while Mrs. P. wakened some lodgers in another room. Mr. P. when below told the robber his key was left above, and he could not get at his money; on which he was ordered above, and the robber followed him close, with his pistol prepared for discharge. On discovering the travellers coming from another room, he commanded them to remain within, or he assured them they should receive the contents of his pistol. Not knowing but he had others with him, and the hall being narrow, they stopped; and he followed Mr. Pye to the door of his chamber. Mr. P. asked Mrs. P. for his key; and, seeing the noble presence of mind, while holding the key she brought two barrels of gun, loaded with small shot only, aimed her pistol at the robber, and shot Mr. P. through his left arm above the elbow, and through his body with a rifle-ball. Mrs. P. at this instant cocked the gun, and handed it to Mr. P. desiring him to shoot immediately which he did, as he had not yet fired. As he fired, however, Mr. P. missed and had the satisfaction (if any such there be in such a scene) to hear the robber fall too. In the affray the robber's lantern was broken, or at least the light extinguished; and total darkness prevailed. The wounded robber was heard descending down stairs; and the people of the house, being all alarmed, had to keep fire from the gun before any thing was done—when the robber was seen leaving the hall, stairs, and lower rooms, besmeared with blood.
Horses were immediately prepared, and some guns and the pistol which the robber had dropped were loaded; and a man was dispatched for a surgeon. At the same time that a travelling pedler pursued the robber, who was overpowered or way laid by persons alarmed in the house, and his hat knocked off, on which he discharged a pistol at his besiegers, and then dropped it, from weakness or by accident. He then passed into Albany, and being hard pressed, jumped his horse from the dock to the ice, crossed the river, was turned over fields to the eastward till his horse mired in a swamp, where he was taken—but not till he knocked down one man and attempted to shoot the constable, who knocked his (3d) pistol from him. He was much weakened by loss of blood which flowed abundantly, and the back part of his clothes were eaten mostly off by aqua fortis or vitriol, a bottle of both which he had about him. He had a saw, instruments for picking locks, &c. about him when examined; and he said he belonged to New-Jersey, that he was last from Canada, and that his name
was Johnson. After his wound's being dressed (from which we are told he is not out of danger) he was committed to await the punishment, which the law will inflict, for such horrid and merciless butchery.
We have not ascertained whether the ball after passing through his arm entered the cavity of Mr. Pye's body, or only passed through the flesh and came out towards his backbone—but, as his life is not despaired of, though he is cruelly mangled, we apprehend only the latter. [This we have found to be the case since writing the foregoing, and Mr. P. exhibits fair prospects of recovery.] Though the robber received the charge from Mr. Pye's gun in the backside of his head, all the flesh and hair of which and a part of one ear are torn off, the shot did not penetrate his skull, though they may have fractured it; and what may seem remarkable, they glanced on the skull, and are now to be seen sticking in the doors on both sides of the narrow hall through which he tried to retreat from Mr. Pye, as he raised his gun to fire. On the pistols being brought to Mr. Pye, he recognized them; as a gentleman who lodged at his house a few days before had committed them and a portmanteau to his care for the night.
We wish this affair may prompt a rigorous exercise of police regulations in these large towns, as hordes, not only of counterfeiters, forgers, and other felons, but of such cut-throats as this fellow, are suspected to infest our borders. We understand also that this fellow has been arrested once before in Albany for some misdemeanour.
NEW-YORK, December 29.
A letter from one of the most respectable houses in London to a correspondent in this city, states that there is no prospect of peace on the Continent, and that the war will probably be prosecuted with vigor.
In company with the Packet, a British expedition sailed from Falmouth, consisting of 4 ships of the line, 2 frigates, a sloop of war, 10 cutters, 23 transporters, and 5000 troops, provisioned for 12 months, and commanded by Commodore Stopford and General Crawford, destination unknown. Another secret expedition was fitting out at Ramsgate and Margate.
NINTH BULLETIN. Of the French Army.
Weimar, Oct. 17.
The garrison of Erfurth has filed off. We have found there a much greater number of persons than was expected. There are a great quantity of magazines. The Emperor has appointed General Clark governor of the city and citadel of Erfurth, and the surrounding country. The citadel is a fine octagon, with casemates and bastions, and well fortified. It is a valuable acquisition, which will serve as a point of succour in the midst of our operations. It was said in the 5th bulletin, that we had taken from 25 to 30 standards, there are now 45 at head quarters—it is probable that we will have about 60. These standards were presented by Frederick the Great to his soldiers. Among the number is one belonging to the regiment of guards, and another of the Queen's regiment, embroidered by her own hands. It seems the enemy is endeavoring to rally at Magdeburg; but at the same time we are marching on every side. The different bodies of our army are in pursuit of them by different roads. Couriers are arriving every moment to announce the destruction of whole battalions, and the capture of pieces of cannon, baggage, &c.
The emperor lodges in the palace of Weimar, where the Queen of Prussia lodged some days before. She was here for the purpose of kindling the flames of war. She is a woman of handsome figure, but of little understanding; incapable of foreseeing the consequences of her actions. We must, instead of condemning her, pity her—for she must be filled with remorse for the evil she has brought upon her country, and for the ascendancy she has exercised over the King her husband, who is universally looked upon as a perfectly honest man, who was desirous of peace, and the happiness of his people.
BOSTON, December 29.
Supreme Judicial Court. —The trial of THOMAS OLIVER SELBRIDGE, Esq. on an indictment of Manslaughter, which commenced before the Supreme Court, sitting in this town on Tuesday last, continued until Friday noon when after this
long and interesting hearing, Judge Parker summed up the evidence, and gave the charge to the jury, with his accustomed perspicuity and impartiality. The Court adjourned from 2 o'clock to 4, when the Jury came in with a verdict of Not Guilty . We understand that the Jury were but 15 minutes in agreeing on their verdict: It was composed of gentlemen of each political party; and the only person challenged, was a federalist, and the personal friend of the defendant.

From the National Intelligencer.
Extract of a letter from governor Tiffin, dated December 14, 1806, to the secretary of war.
"I have this night received yours of the 26th of November, directing that 150 or 200 volunteer militia may be immediately raised under the authority of the U. States, to take post at Marietta, for the express purpose of preventing the flotilla from moving from the Muskingum river, which is believed to have been built with hostile views, and observing that the troops so raised shall, while in service, receive the pay and rations allowed by law.
"The same mail that brought yours brought me also a communication from Judge Meigs of Marietta, informing me that in obedience to my instructions, sent to him by virtue of a law of our state, passed about a week ago (an account of which I enclosed to the president) a detachment of our militia on the night of the 10th inst. seized ten of the batteaux as they were descending the Muskingum river, and that four more remained on the stocks unfinished, which will also be arrested. These batteaux were forty feet long, very wide covered and constructed to carry one company of men each. One hundred barrels of provisions were on board those seized, and 100 more not got on board. It appears notice had been sent on of my orders being issued by some spy or other, and they were hurrying off: but they were happily secured. Comfort Tyler (styled by his men colonel Tyler) was lying with a number of fast rowing boats at Blennerhasset's island, and my informant adds, with a number of men [50 were counted] armed indiscriminately with muskets, pistols, cutlasses, &c. waiting for the Muskingum flotilla to join them, in order to descend the river—that they were alarmed upon hearing of the militia being in motion, and had centinels placed, and lanterns burning at different parts of the island—that Blennerhasset and Tyler had pushed down the river, and left the boats to follow them, upon hearing of those on the Muskingum being seized.
"In this state of things I have thought it best which I hope will meet with your approbation, to send off an express this night to Marietta, and another to Cincinnati. At Marietta I have appointed by virtue of your letter, one major, one captain, one lieutenant, one ensign, and directed to be raised a company of sixty non-commissioned officers, privates, and musicians, to guard the flotilla arrested, and guard the river Ohio; and arrest any boats or armaments which may come down. At Cincinnati I have directed to be raised two companies, each consisting of one major, one captain, one lieutenant, one ensign, and sixty non-commissioned officers, privates, and musicians. These troops will be under arms in one day after my expresses arrive. I have at Cincinnati ordered two pieces of artillery to be planted on the bank of the river, to keep spies every ten miles up the river to give notice of the approach of the boats—to throw a bridge of boats across the river, and not to suffer a boat to pass unexamined, or sink every one which shall attempt forcibly to pass.
"I believe the Muskingum flotilla and Comfort Tyler's flotilla were the whole of the boats prepared for this secret expedition, and that they were to take troops on board below our state, and depended on these boats and provisions, &c. to enable them to prosecute the enterprize. We have therefore completely frustrated their intentions. The Muskingum flotilla is secured, and I have no doubt but I shall soon give you a good account of Tyler's."
Extract of a letter from Return J. Meigs, Esq. dated Marietta, December 17.
"The Governor of Ohio having commissioned me to carry into effect a law of the state, passed the 6th inst. entitled "An act to prevent certain acts hostile to the peace and tranquility of the United States, within the jurisdiction of this state," I have on the 9th, by a detachment of militia, seized fifteen batteaux and about two hundred barrels of provisions,
prepared on the Muskingum river (by Harmer Blennerhasset, a colleague of colonel Burr) for a military expedition against the dominions of Spain, and for other purposes. I issued a warrant for the apprehension of Blennerhasset, who resided thirteen miles below this, and without the jurisdiction of this state. He fled immediately upon hearing of the seizure of the boats, in the night with Comfort Tyler and about fifty men, in fast rowing boats. He is pursued by land in order to head him, at some point on the Ohio. Tyler's flotilla passed this in the night. Had not the mail failed us from Washington for a whole trip, we should have received the president's proclamation in time to have seized Blennerhasset, Tyler, and his whole party.
"The batteaux preparing and prepared on the Ohio, at different places for a length of 600 miles, are all of the same model, and will carry from 40 to 60 men, and are calculated to ascend shallow rivers."
"Captain Stoddert, with the United States troops, has just left this place; the ice retarded his progress."
A letter of the date of the 17th December from Marietta, says, "I have no doubt but that colonel Burr will push his projects, and that a considerable number of men will collect near the mouth of the Ohio, ready to execute them. Unless disappointed by checks I expect they may seize arms at the arsenal at Newport, Kentucky, if not opposed by the militia at Cincinnati, which would doubtless be the case."
FROM THE WESTERN WORLD.
JUDGE SEBASTIAN.
The Glass-House of this very honorable judge of the court of appeals, is now, for the happiness of the citizens of Kentucky, broken in pieces.
We mentioned in the supplement to the last Western World, the motion which was made for an enquiry into his conduct, and that a committee was appointed for that purpose.
This committee met yesterday. In the forenoon of the day, a letter was received by the speaker of the legislature from judge Sebastian, informing the house that conscious of his innocence, he had hastened to town to meet any charges which might be preferred against him; but at the same time prayed that the enquiry into his conduct might be postponed until he had sufficient time to procure evidence to rebut any charges which might be alleged. Mr. John Allen alone supported the request of the judge, but Mr. Grundy, gen. Hopkins, Mr. Pope and col. Ewing spoke in opposition, and wished the enquiry to proceed. The ayes and noes were taken; and Mr. Allen we believe was the only voice to be distinguished in favour of the request of judge Sebastian.
The committee met about three in the afternoon—Mr. Pope in the chair.
A letter was received by Mr. Pope, and read to the committee, from his excellency governor Greenup, informing them, that his honor judge Sebastian, had resigned. The committee, however, notwithstanding, resolved to proceed with the enquiry. Mr. Charles Watkins, John Jordan, James T. Martin of Lexington, and Mr. Bullett of Louisville, were there sworn and examined. As we are informed, their depositions, after being written out, are to be signed by themselves, and entered on the journals of the house, we forbear, at present, publishing them. The result, however, is, that the fullest and most satisfactory proof was produced of this honorable judge holding a pension for life of 2000 dollars per annum from the government of Spain, expressly for personal services.
The impression made on all present, by the discovery of this most nefarious and unexampled depravity, in one of our supreme judges, is more easily conceived than described. There seemed to be an unanimous expression of abhorrence depicted on the countenance of every member and spectator against the man who, holding a seat in the first court of his country, was base enough to become the political pensioner of a foreign power.
The committee met again this morning. Mr. Bullett, was re-examined and governor Greenup, Mr. Richard Steel, and Mr. Bullock of Shelby, as likewise judge Innis, Mr. John Brown and Joseph George of Woodford. The result is, that Benjamin Sebastian has been appointed or agreed to by judge Innis, the late Mr. George Nicholas, and the late Mr. Murray to confer with Giozo, an agent appointed by the Baron de Corondelet on the part of the court of Spain, to listen to certain overtures that were made, by the Baron de Corondelet respecting

the Western country, which negotiation was ended by a courier arriving at New Orleans from the Havanna with intelligence that a treaty had been concluded between the United States and the government of Spain; and that the pension of two thousand dollars per annum, was given to the said Benjamin Sebastian for his services to Spain in this negotiation. It was likewise proved by Governor Greenup and others that Benjamin Sebastian had endeavored to organize a society in Kentucky to petition his Catholic majesty for a grant of territory in Louisiana, on the grounds, that the society were discontented with the government and laws of the United States, and were desirous of living under the mild and pacific government of Spain. It however appeared that Benjamin Sebastian stood alone in this attempt; and that he was unable to prevail with a single individual to join him in the proposition.
The committee will proceed further this afternoon. The most patriotic sensations appear to pervade every member; and from several circumstances which have transpired, we are induced to believe that more than one Spanish pensioner will be consigned to that fate which so meritoriously awaits Benjamin Sebastian. Even the Kentucky Gazette, and the Enquirer of Richmond, Virginia, we suspect will abandon his cause and leave him to seek consolation in the company of the Marquis de Yrujo and his associates.
MARTINSBURG, January 16.
Married, on Thursday evening the 8th inst. by the Reverend Christopher Collins, Maj. JOSEPH CRANE, to Miss KITTY STROTHER, all of Jefferson County.
Extract of a letter from Richmond, dated January 2, 1807.
"The resolutions from Kentucky, proposing an amendment to the Federal Constitution, have been acted upon and rejected."
"A proposition for calling a Convention, to revise our State Constitution, underwent considerable discussion and was carried in the House of Representatives by a majority of (I believe) upwards of thirty. As it left the House of Representatives, it was made the duty of the respective sheriffs to open a poll at the next election for delegates, by calling, one to be headed, Convention , the other No Convention . This proposition is still before the Senate, what the result may be is doubtful, however, it is expected that it will pass that body in some shape or other."
"From letters received from the city of Washington, it appears that Burr's plans are not yet developed, and that they are of a much more serious nature than was first apprehended. Report says that all the vessels laying at Norfolk are ordered to be prepared for sea immediately, their destination not known. An express is gone on to New Orleans, with positive orders to travel every 24 hours 120 miles—this looks a little squally."
DIED on the 14th inst. at Lexington, Ken. of an affection of the stomach, the Hon. JOHN BRECKENRIDGE, Attorney General of the U. States.
Standing Army. —The standing military force of the Union, consists at present, of one regiment containing five battalions of artillery, consisting of twenty companies of 91 men each, including officers, &c.—total number of artillerymen 1820. Two regiments containing four battalions of infantry, consisting of ten companies each, (twenty companies) each company consisting of 80 men, including officers, &c.—total number of infantry 1600.—General Staff 4; artillery regimental staff 7; infantry regimental staff 14.—The corps of marines consists of about 1000—total regular military force of the Union, four thousand four hundred and forty-five.
The Secretary of the Navy has informed the committee, appointed on that part of the president's message relating to fortifications, that fifty six gun boats, either have been launched the past summer, or are now on the stocks. The Secretary has further informed the committee that he has been instructed by the President to state that appropriations will be wanted for sixty gun boats more, to be built the ensuing year. These gun boats, stationed at the entrances of our principal harbours and rivers, are to protect them against the navies of Europe.
Mr. Chouteau, with a party of the
Osage Indians, has arrived in Washington. Captain Lewis, accompanied by the Mandan Chief, is also expected every day.—Nat. Intell.
From a New-York Paper.
The arrival at this port of the ship Jenny, from Bordeaux, though furnishing no later intelligence from the French Grand Army than has already appeared in the Mercantile Advertiser, has enabled us to trace the progress of the army from the publication of the first to the 13th bulletin, which is dated from Halle (40 miles S. E. of Magdeburg) on the 20th October.
The passengers in the Jenny, inform us that the French Army entered Berlin on the 21st of October; that the king of Prussia was said to be mortally wounded at the battle of Jena; and that an army of one hundred thousand Russians and Swedes had arrived on the Prussian frontiers.
On the tenth of November the Jenny, was boarded by the ship Atlas, captain Pym, of 74 guns, then seven days from Plymouth. Capt. Pym informed, that all the differences between the UNITED STATES AND GREAT BRITAIN HAD BEEN ADJUSTED.
Extract of a letter from Columbia (S.C.) dated December 31.
"The bill for prohibiting the importation of Negroes, was read a second time in the house of representatives yesterday, and carried, only two dissenting voices; but I am afraid it will be put to sleep in the senate, as I think there will be a majority of two against it."
FROM WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.
Mr. Fisher called for the order of the day on the two resolutions submitted by the committee appointed on that part of the president's message which relates to Spanish aggressions.
The first resolution, which relates to the erection of a fort on the Mississippi, below New Orleans, &c. was carried with little debate.
The second, which gives the president power to accept of the services of volunteers, not exceeding 30,000, occasioned considerable debate as to the details. It was carried in committee of the whole, and referred to a select committee to bring in a bill.
The administration is under considerable apprehension as to Burr. It was reported to-day that several of his gun-boats have been stop on the Ohio, and that a party in Kentucky are in pursuit of him.
The following cases were adjudged in the English court of admiralty during the month of September last, but have not hitherto been noticed in any American publication.
Horizon, M'Clure master.—This ship, under American colors, laden with a valuable cargo, also some specie, and ingots of gold and silver on board, on a voyage from Montevideo to the port of London, was captured by his majesty's ship of war Diana, Thomas Ja. Maling, Esq. commander, and brought to Portsmouth. It appeared in this case, that the ship and part of the cargo were claimed by the master, as American property, but the bulk of the cargo was claimed as property belonging to merchants of Hamburg. The court restored the ship, and that part of the cargo claimed as American property, with freight and expenses, and condemned the Hamburg property on the ground of illegality.
Helena, Black, master.—In this case the property was condemned to the captors; freight and expenses decreed to the neutral master; and the question of damage and demurrage reserved.
Twende Wouner, Roeloff, master.—The vessel under American colors, with a cargo of cotton, cochineal, and other merchandise, on a voyage from Smyrna to Rotterdam, was captured by the indefatigable, James Twokey commander, and brought to Plymouth. In this case, further proof was directed as to the cargo, the ship having been already restored.
The Fox, Drummond, master.—This American vessel laden with a cargo of Barilla, tent wine, and other articles, on a voyage from Alicante to a market, was captured by the private ship of war Betsey, Robert Harrison, commander, and brought to Plymouth, ship restored reserving freight and expenses; and further proof was directed as to the property of the cargo.
The Asia, Pearce, master.—This was also an American vessel with a cargo of various merchandise.—Ship and cargo restored as claimed.
The following is said to be the substance of the anonymous communication, addressed to Congress, on the seventeenth ult. by a writer who professed himself to be a foreigner, and desired his communication might be read with closed doors:
"That the U. States were in great danger from France and Spain, that Bonaparte would invade us as soon as he was at liberty in Europe, that he kept many spies in the country, some of which the writer was acquainted with. The writer urged the necessity of providing speedily for the effectual defence of the United States, and recommended, that, as we have no generals of our own, Moreau should be placed at the head of an army. He stated that many French officers were disgusted with the emperor, and would willingly engage in our service. The writer promised that his next communication should be from Bordeaux."
By a gentleman just arrived from Frankfort, and who was present when the Grand Jury examined the charges against Burr, we learn that it appeared from the testimony given, that Mr. Burr was concerned in the purchase of 400,000 acres of land in Louisiana, nearly opposite the Natchez; that the young and enterprising persons, who were to embark with him, were to settle on the land; that each had a musket and was to act as a soldier under Burr against the Spaniards, in case of a war, provided the executive approved of it; and that Mr. Jefferson was many months since acquainted with Burr's enterprise.
In addition he has stated that provisions for the support of these settlers for one year were purchased to the amount of 40,000 dollars and for instruments of agriculture 40 thousand more had been expended.
Mr. Burr is said to be daily expected here. But this is rather doubtful.
