From the N.Y. Daily Advertiser, Sep. 30
BRITISH TREATY
An interesting Pamphlet made its appearance yesterday, entitled "The British Treaty," dedicated "to those members of congress who have the sense to perceive and to pursue the true interests of their country." The following is given as the "purport of that treaty."
The first article, like the first of that concluded on the 19th Nov. 1794, by Mr. Jay, is merely formal; and the 2d confirms the first ten articles of the old treaty. It is, therefore proper to give a glance at them.
The first, as is already mentioned, is merely formal; and the second is executed.
The third gives to each party the right of passing through the territories of the other, in America, except within the limits of the Hudson Bay company. We find in it the following clause. "But it is understood, that this article does not extend to the admission of vessels of the United States into the sea-ports, harbors, bays or creeks of his majesty's said territories, nor into such parts of the rivers in his majesty's said territories as are between the mouth thereof and the highest port of entry from the sea; except in small vessels trading bona fide between Montreal and Quebec, under such regulations as shall be established to prevent the possibility of any frauds in this respect: Nor to the admission of British vessels from the sea into the water of the United States beyond the highest ports of entry for foreign vessels from the sea. The river Mississippi shall, however, according to the treaty of peace, be entirely open to both parties: and it is further agreed, that all the ports and places on its eastern side, to whichsoever of the parties belonging, may freely be resorted to and used by both parties, in as ample a manner as any of the Atlantic ports or places of the United States, or any of the ports or places of his majesty in Great-Britain."
The fourth article, after mentioning that "it is uncertain whether the Mississippi extends so far to the northward as to be intersected by a line to be drawn due west from the lake of the Woods, in the manner mentioned in the treaty of peace," provides "for a joint survey of the northern part of that river;" and expresses, that, "if on the result of such sur-
vey it should appear that the said river would not be intersected by such a line," the parties will regulate the boundary in that quarter by amicable negotiation.
The fifth article, after mentioning that "doubts had arisen what river was truly intended under the name of the River St. Croix," provides for ascertaining that river, and the latitude and longitude of its mouth and source.
The sixth, seventh and eighth articles have been extended.
The ninth provides for persons holding lands in the dominions of one of the parties who are subjects or citizens of the other; and the tenth is a stipulation in favor of moral honesty, viz. that neither party shall sequester or confiscate debts or property in the funds, &c.
The third article of the new treaty provides for, and regulates commerce between the U. States and the British East Indies, in the same terms as the thirteenth article of the old treaty, except that the words, and sailing direct from the ports of the said states are inserted in the first clause, which now runs thus: "His majesty consents that the vessels belonging to the citizens of the U. States of America, and sailing direct from ports of the said states, shall be admitted and hospitably received in all the sea-ports and harbors of the British territories in the East Indies," &c.
The fourth article of the new treaty is the same as the fourteenth of the old one, and stipulates for a general liberty of trade between the U. States and the British dominions in Europe.
The fifth article of the new treaty is the same as the fifteenth of the old one (regulating the duties on ships and merchandise) with two exceptions: The first reserves to the U. States the right previously reserved to Great-Britain, of imposing a tonnage duty equal to what shall be imposed by the other party. The second is made by substituting a new clause for the reservation formerly made by Great-Britain, of "the right of imposing on American vessels entering into the British ports in Europe, such duty as may be adequate to countervail the difference of duty now payable on the importation of European and Asiatic goods when imported into the U. States in British or in American vessels." Instead of this, the following words make part of the new article. "And in the trade of the two nations with each other, the same duties on exportation or importation of goods or merchandise shall be imposed, and the same drawbacks and bounties allowed in either country, whether the exportation or importation shall be in British or American vessels."
The sixth article of the new treaty states, that the parties cannot agree about our trade to the British West-Indies; but that "while they will attempt an amicable agreement, both may exercise their existing rights."
The seventh of this, like the sixteenth of the other treaty, provides for the appointment of consuls, &c.
The eighth of this, like the seventeenth of the other, provides for the speedy decision on the capture and detention of vessels suspected of carrying enemy's goods or contraband of war. There is added a promise on the part of Great-Britain, that hereafter indemnification shall be granted for unjust seizure, for detention and vexation.
The ninth article is the same as the eighteenth of the old treaty (respecting contraband,) only that tar and pitch are excepted from the catalogue, unless when going to a place of naval equipment.
The tenth article is the same as the eighteenth of the old (respecting blockade,) with the addition, that passengers not in the military service of an enemy, shall not be taken and made prisoners.
By the eleventh article, citizens of the United States may carry European goods to the colonies of enemies of Great-Britain (from the ports of the United States,) provided that both vessel and cargo be bona fide American property, that the goods shall have been unladed within the United States, and that (in addition to that part of the duty already reserved from the drawback on exportation) the further sum of one per cent. ad valorem on such goods shall be paid. They may also export from the United States to Europe the produce of colonies

of the enemies of Great-Britain, provided they, being neutral property, shall have been unladed as before, and that two per cent. ad valorem be paid on exportation in addition to what is reserved on the drawback. After the expiration of the treaty, all antecedent rights on these subjects are to revive.
The twelfth article extends to ships of Great-Britain, and of all nations who shall adopt the same regulation, the protection of our neutrality from a marine league to five miles from our shore.
The thirteenth article is substantially the same as the nineteenth of the old treaty, regulating privateers.
The fourteenth is the same as the twentieth of the old treaty, respecting pirates.
The fifteenth article of this treaty, like the twenty-first of the other, prohibits the subject of our citizens of one party, to accept commissions from enemies of the other, and to commit acts of hostility.
The sixteenth, like the twenty-second of the other, forbids reprisals before a demand of satisfaction.
The seventeenth is the same as the twenty-third of the old treaty, which, after stipulating that "the ships of war of each of the contracting parties shall at all times be hospitably received in the ports of the other," provides that American vessels driven by "stress of weather, danger of enemies, or other misfortunes," to seek shelter, shall be received in ports into which such vessels could not ordinarily claim to be admitted. This stipulation is now made reciprocal.
The eighteenth article, like the twenty-fourth of the old treaty, prohibits the armament of privateers belonging to the enemies of either, and the sale of their prizes in ports of the other party.
The nineteenth is the same as the twenty-fifth of the old treaty, permitting ships of war to bring in their prizes and take them away again without payment of duties, and prohibiting the entry of ships of the enemies of either party, which shall have made prize unless driven by stress of weather; in which case they are to depart as soon as possible.
The twentieth is the same as the twenty-sixth of the old treaty, providing for merchants and others in one country when war breaks out with the other.
The twenty-first of this, like the twenty-seventh of the other, relates to giving up persons charged with murder or forgery.
The twenty-second is a new article respecting shipwrecks, and promising humane treatment.
The twenty-third secures to each the rights of the most favored nation, and declares that "all treaties hereafter made by either with any nation, shall ipso facto be extended in all their favorable operations to the other."
The twenty-fourth engages to join in abolishing the slave trade.
The twenty-fifth contains the stipulation, that this treaty is not to interfere with antecedent engagements. And,
The twenty-sixth limits the duration to ten years from the exchange of ratifications.
It is dated the 31st December, 1806; but previous to the signature two notes were given, by the British to the American commissioners. The first keeps open for future discussion a claim of Britain not to pay more on goods sent from Canada or New Brunswick, into the territories of the U. States, than is paid on the importation of such goods in American ships. The second note declares that the king of Great-Britain has directed his commissioners, before they sign the treaty, to deliver that note, in order that a fair understanding may be had by all parties of his majesty's views, in consequence of the blockading decree, to which the attention of the American commissioners is invited. The decree so recent in point of time, and so novel and monstrous in substance, that his majesty is at a loss to calculate on events; but supposing, however, that it will be formally abandoned or totally relinquished by Bonaparte, or in case he is mistaken in that supposition he bets with confidence on the good sense of the government of the United States, that they will not submit to an innovation so destructive of the rights of neutral commerce. Should he, however, be mistaken in all these points, and the enemy should actually carry into execution his threats, and neutral nations acquiesce in such usurpation, he may probably, though reluctantly, be obliged to retaliate. The treaty secures to the U. States so many privileges of neutral commerce, that at a time when his majesty and all neutral nations are threatened with such extension of belligerent pretensions from his enemies, without any explanation from the U. States what they will do in case Bona-
parte attempts to force on them his decree, his majesty must reserve to himself to act according to contingencies in that particular, the signing of the treaty notwithstanding. And as the distance of the American commissioners from their government renders a previous explanation impossible, his majesty authorises his commissioners to finish the treaty. This is done under the fullest persuasion, that, before the treaty returns to Europe from America ratified, time will discover the formal abandonment or tacit relinquishment of the enemy of his pretensions; or in case that should not take place, that the government of the United States, by their conduct or assurances will assure his majesty that they will not submit to innovations so destructive of maritime rights. But in case Bonaparte enforces his decree according to its tenor, and if neither by the assurances nor conduct of America a disposition is shown to oppose it, his majesty wishes it to be fairly and clearly understood, that he will not consider himself bound by the signature of his commissioners to ratify, or in case he ratifies, he will not and cannot be precluded from adopting such measures as may seem necessary for counteracting the designs of his enemy, whenever they shall occur, and be of such an extraordinary nature as to require extraordinary remedies.
LONDON, August 21. City Tavern. —At a meeting of the committee of American merchants, Philip Sansom, Esq. in the chair. The Chairman stated, that he had received a letter from John Richardson, Esq. Vice-President of the American Chamber of Commerce, at Liverpool, accompanying certain resolutions of that board, and their circular letter, dated the 11th inst.—the same having been read, it was
Resolved unanimously, That this committee will be at all times happy to receive any communications from the American Chamber of Commerce, at Liverpool, which may have a tendency to promote the commercial intercourse between the British empire and the United States of America; but with the knowledge that negotiations of a political importance are pending between the government of this country and the American States, they are of opinion, that any interference on their part at the present moment would be improper—and this committee having no reason to believe his majesty's government to be indisposed to an amicable accommodation of the present differences, see no necessity for associations being formed in the different manufacturing towns and seaports, for the purpose of collecting information as to the prospects of a good understanding, or otherwise, between the two countries. But if it should at any time appear that the efforts of this committee can be useful in promoting cordiality and harmony between the two governments, they will be ready to do every thing in their power for the attainment of so desirable an object.
JOHN GRAY, Sec'y.
LOSSES BY PRUSSIA BY THE PEACE.
By the peace of Presburg, Austria lost 3,000,000 of inhabitants, and a revenue of 16,000,000 of guilders. The peace of Tilsit has been still more unfortunate to the Prussian Monarchy having diminished it nearly one half. Instead of 10,000,000 of inhabitants not more than five now remain under the Prussian sceptre; and the revenue which formerly amounted to forty millions of dollars, has been decreased in a still greater proportion, since the ceded provinces are exactly those which are the richest and most fertile, and on whose improvement many millions have heretofore been expended. Almost all that Prussia gained by the partition of Poland is again wrested from her. Saxony, the late confederate of Prussia by compulsion has received these provinces; and Russia the most powerful ally of the latter, has been rounded by territory, containing a population of 2,000,000 souls.
To this we have still to add the great loss of territory in Poland; with Warsaw, Dantzic, Thorn, Posen, &c. Since 1772, Prussia had acquired in her Polish territories upwards of three millions of inhabitants. Of these she now loses more than 2000 square miles, and two and a half millions of inhabitants. The King of Saxony has more territory and more subjects, as Duke of Warsaw, than as king. While the sun of Saxony is thus rising with new splendor two of the most ancient German princely houses, those of Catti and Guelph have fallen princes. The application of Alexander alone, has saved the two Duchies, whose
sovereigns are allied to him by marriage; Mecklenburgh Schwerin, and Saxe Cobourg.
AUGUST 24.
Private letters from Holland have been received to the 20th inst. by which it appears that directions had again been issued to prohibit the landing of any goods of British manufacture. The new order was to be enforced by new commissioners from France, who had been appointed to the management of the customs, and who had expressed a determination to prevent, by all means in their power, the future introduction into Holland of all English goods. By the same letters it appears, that the Danish consul had issued an order, by which he requested that all vessels in the Dutch ports, under the Danish flag, should remain, and not under any pretence whatever put to sea, until the object of the British expedition to the Baltic should be fully ascertained.
New-York, October 7.
The ship United States, capt. Moore, bound to Baltimore, from the isle of France, was captured on the 27th ult. off Cape Henry, by the British ship Leopard, and sent to Halifax. The mate and crew were put on board the brig Lion, capt. Harris.
The fast sailing ship Eliza, capt. Smith, arrived at this port yesterday in the remarkable short passage of 23 days from Bordeaux. Capt. S. has favored the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with Paris papers to the 28th of August, and Bordeaux to the 1st of September, from which we have copied the following articles.
The U. States sloop of war Wasp had arrived at L'Orient from England, with dispatches for our ministers at Paris.
PARIS, August 16.
This day (Sunday) his majesty the emperor and king received a numerous deputation of the kingdom of Westphalia.
At 5 o'clock his majesty presented himself, with the customary ceremonial at the palace of the legislative body, to open the session. His serene highness the prince vicegrand elector having obtained his majesty's permission to administer the oath to the deputies of the legislative body named since the session of the year 14, the appeal nominated of three deputies was made by M. Lajeas, and each of them took the oath at the foot of the throne.
The appeal being ended, his majesty said,
"Gentlemen, deputies from the departments to the legislative body;—gentlemen, tribunes and members of my council of state.
"Since your last session, new wars, new triumphs, new treaties of peace have changed the political face of Europe.
"If the house of Brandenburg, the first who attacked our independence still reigns, it owes it to the sincere friendship with which I am inspired for the powerful Emperor of the north.
"A French prince will reign upon the Elbe—he will know how to conciliate the interests of his new subjects, with the first of his most sacred duties.
"The house of Saxony has recovered, after 30 years, the independence which it had lost.
"The people of the duchy of Warsaw, and of the city of Dantzick, have recovered their country and their rights.
"All nations, with one accord, are rejoicing that the malignant influence which England has exercised over the continent is destroyed for ever.
"France is united to the people of Germany by the laws of the confederation of the Rhine; to those of Spain, of Holland, of Switzerland, and of Italy, by the laws of our federative system. Our new relations with Russia are cemented by the reciprocal esteem of the two great nations.
"In all that I have done, I have had solely in view the happiness of my people, more dear to my eyes than military glory.
"I desire a maritime peace. Resentment will not have the smallest influence over my determinations. I cannot have any against a nation the sport and victim of the parties by which it is torn, and which is kept in darkness on the situation of its own affairs as well as those of its neighbors.
"But whatever may be the issue which the decrees of Providence may assign to the maritime contest, my people will always find me the same, and I shall always find my people worthy of me.
"Frenchmen, your conduct during the latter times in which your emperor has been separated from you more than 500 leagues, has augmented my esteem and the opinion which I had conceived of your character. I have felt proud in be-
ing the first among you. If during the ten months of absence and of peril, I have been present to your thoughts, the marks of love which you have given me have excited constantly my most lively emotions. All my solicitude, every thing that could have relation to the care of my own person, did not affect me in any other way than as connected with your interest, and from its importance to your future destiny. You are a good and a great people.
"I have meditated different dispositions for simplifying and perfecting our institutions.
"The nation has experienced the happiest effects from the establishment of the Legion of Honor. I have created several imperial titles to give a new lustre to the most distinguished of my subjects, to reward glorious services by glorious recompences, and for preventing the return of every feudal title incompatible with our constitutions.
"The accounts of my ministers of finance and of public treasure will exhibit to you the prosperous state of our finances. My people will experience a considerable deduction from the landed contribution.
"My minister of the interior will make you acquainted with the works which have been commenced or finished, but that which remains to be done is of still greater importance;—for I wish to see in every part of my empire, even in the smallest hamlet, the comfort of the citizens and the value of the lands augmented by the effect of the general system of amelioration which I have conceived.
"Gentlemen, deputies from the departments to the legislative body, your assistance will be necessary to enable me to arrive at this great result, and I have the right to calculate constantly upon it."
NEW-YORK, October 9.
A gentleman passenger in the Arcurus, from Bordeaux, informs that the day before he sailed, he received a letter from his friend in Paris, stating that news had reached there, that Copenhagen had surrendered to the British.
PITTSBURG, October 4.
Early last week Mr. William B. Irish, deputy marshal, left this place for Beaver County, to execute several writs of Habere Facias Possessionem , issued out of the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Pennsylvania, for lands recovered by the Population Company against various settlers in that county. On Wednesday the 23d ult. Mr. Irish was proceeding to the house of William Foulkes one of the persons against whom judgment had been obtained in said court, in company with Enion William, agent for the company, Geo. Hodship, Esq. and James Hamilton; when having just entered the lane leading to Foulkes' house, three or four guns were fired from a thicket of bushes close by the road side, and two balls struck Mr. Hamilton, who fell from his horse and expired in a few minutes—the others made their escapes immediately through the woods to Greensburgh. Mr. Hamilton had that morning been put in possession of a tract of land held by contract with the company, about two miles from the place where the horrid deed was perpetrated, and no doubt but the villains knew him well when they fired at him. Some neighbours collected in the afternoon to remove the body of Mr. Hamilton; Mr. Foulkes, it is said, came to them and expressed great sorrow at the unfortunate accident, although he had threatened a day or two before, that if the marshal would come to dispossess him, blood would be spilt on the occasion.
Mr. Irish came that evening to Beaver to get the sheriff of the county, who is also colonel of a regiment of militia, to call out a party to go in pursuit of the murderers; and only about fifteen could be collected who were willing to go, as it was believed the party was forty or fifty strong, and that they were resolutely determined that they would not let themselves be taken.
PETERSBURG, July 29.
Since the return of his majesty the emperor, an extraordinary activity is remarked in the office of the Marine departments—The order is issued arm with all possible dispatch the squadron of Cronstadt and Revel. Not the doubt is entertained by any body these armaments are destined against England, if she should adopt the fatal determination of rejecting the mediation offered her by our court. The merchants settled here entertain the opinion respecting the present actions of Russia for they are all en-

ing to sell their goods or commercial effects at any price.
NORFOLK, October 5.
This day the Court appointed by Government, to inquire into the conduct of Commodore Barron , met on board the Chesapeake , present, Captains Murray, Chauncy and Hull.
The Court adjourned without doing any business until to-morrow. Littleton W. Tazewell, Esq. has been appointed Judge Advocate. Commodore Barron is, we understand, very much indisposed, and Mr. Tazewell is at Richmond, a witness in the case of Col. Burr.
WASHINGTON CITY, OCTOBER 8, 1807.
Dispatches have been received by government from our ministers at London.
We are informed, that it is the opinion of the President that the state of affairs between the two countries, does not present the most agreeable aspect.
By late arrivals at Boston and New-York British papers to the 23th of August are received, which state, that
The Revenge had not reached England the 23th of Aug.—That the French had been repulsed in two attacks on Stralsund, with great loss.—That rumors were current Copenhagen was bombarded on the 15th and 16th August, but without bringing the Danes to terms—and it was reported that admiral Collingwood had orders to look after the Russian fleet in the Mediterranean.
MARTINSBURG, October 16.
The President and the heads of departments have all arrived at Washington City.
Latest proceedings in the TRIAL of Colonel A. BURR.
Thursday, October 8.
On this day the examination of evidence on the motion to commit Aaron Burr , Herman Blane and Israel Smith , was declared by the counsel on both sides to be closed.
Mr. Hay opened the argument on the part of the United States. It is not known what counsel will take part in the important discussion; but it is expected their arguments will be very able and interesting.
The two last days of the Court were taken up in the examination of Major James Bruff , a witness on the part of the defence, who implicated Gen. Wilkinson, with the explanation of Gen. Wilkinson and the evidence of witnesses brought forward to invalidate the testimony of major Bruff.
INTERESTING LETTER.
From Mr. Merry, late minister from the court of Great-Britain to the United States received at New-York.
Clarges-street (London) Aug. 11, 1807. I have been favored with your letter, to which I have deferred replying, in the daily expectation, that some official accounts from America would have enabled his Majesty's government to have determined upon the line of conduct that it may ultimately appear expedient to pursue in the critical state of our relations with that country.
For a definition of the manner in which the question stands at this moment, and will remain until official information be received respecting the pretensions of the American government towards an adjustment of the complaint on their part, occasioned by the affair between H. M. ship Leopard , and the Chesapeake , Frigate, I cannot do better than refer you to the explanation, given last night by Mr. Canning in the House of Commons.—To that statement, however, it may be satisfactory I should add, that, as government have, in their explanations with the American minister here, disavowed the principle upon which Admiral Berkely has acted, and recalled him in consequence of the orders he issued, there is great room to hope that this affair will be settled in an amicable manner.
MR. ALBURTIS, S IR ,
In consequence of the report of some man passing through this neighbourhood on his way home from Richmond, which seems to have been intended to have had an injurious effect upon me, for reasons not known to the public, but quite familiar to myself, permit me to request the favour of an insertion in your paper of the following observations.
I have been represented in the "Western World" as a tool and agent of Gen. Wilkinson in a supposed conspiracy in favour of Spain, at the head of which
Gen. Wilkinson is stated to be. I now declare that I never was employed by Gen. Wilkinson directly nor indirectly I believe in any agency or transaction of any nature whatsoever.
My departure from the army of the U. S. in '94 and passing through certain Indian nations, and returning with such rapidity to the army again, and the mysteriousness with which that transaction commenced and terminated, and the peculiar circumstances attending my detention at Greenville, has excited various conjectures, according as those circumstances struck the fancies of the observers. That affair has never been explained to the public in consequence of the death of Gen. Wayne; but the public are hereby assured that the time will quickly arrive when it will be explained, so far as I myself understand the subject.
This will be done without regard to any man living, whether in power or out of power. I was then about twenty years of age, and have lived to be thirty and more, and it is among the great that I have uniformly discovered the greatest degrees of turpitude. Respecting the Kentucky conspiracy in favour of Spain, it certainly existed; of which the conviction of Judge Sebastian has given a fatal proof. As to any supposed knowledge respecting this conspiracy, certain occurrences in '95, '96 and '97, enabled me to form an opinion, but for certain reasons, that opinion has remained, except in a few instances, enveloped within my own mind. Respecting Col. Burr's plans, it would comport more with the dignity of our understanding to suspend the expression of an opinion, than to put to hazard its character in the field of conjecture.
"When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war." The question is now properly between Gen. Wilkinson and Col. Burr. The light which may flash from this conflict, should alone guide the public opinion; and not the declaration of any individual, whatever may be his station, or however fortified in that station by popular impression. I will venture to predict, that the supposed treasonable machinations of Col. Burr, which were in the first instance, the mere phantoms of illegitimate suggestions, will terminate in advantages to this country, which could not have resulted from any other condition of things; and that it will be found that Burr was as much deluded in the supposition of the inevitability of a Spanish war as the President himself. It will also be discovered by Gen. Eaton that a Presidential abandonment of an individual is a very uncertain foundation for a system of de-positional error. As to the imputation of my being a dangerous man, the idea is in itself absurd. I can neither subvert the government, nor throw the President into the Potomac. I cannot shape the destiny of either Burr or Wilkinson; nor can I revolutionise Mexico. I am a poor man, and have a family to support. They are dependent upon my own personal exertions; and I have no time to devote to treason or conspiracy. This is a kind of business that none but great men engage in, and I have not had even the honor of an agency on this occasion.
As to the gentlemen of the neighbourhood where I reside, and from whom I derive my support, I shall be happy in a continuance of their patronage, being conscious of a desire to promote the common good, and of no wish to wound the feelings of any creature on earth, unless equity imperiously demands it; and there can certainly be no impropriety in hoping that this disposition may be reciprocated. As to Wilkinson or Burr, I can be of no service or disservice to either of them: if they are both wrong, I cannot put them right; and if they are both right, I cannot put them wrong. The two gentlemen may, if they can, settle their dispute; and if they cannot, I cannot settle it for them. But I will do justice to myself, and in doing that, I shall do justice to others. Truth is always erect, and need only be seen to be appreciated. I will now only observe, that no man ought to form an opinion on any subject, until he perfectly understands that subject. If he does, he will most probably commit his understanding; & the circumstance of retracting, is a difficulty, very repugnant to our nature.
