RICHMOND, March 31.
At 12 o'clock, yesterday, the Marshal, Major Scott, accompanied by two assistants, repaired to Col. Burr's room in the Eagle, where he was under guard, and with perfect civility informed him that he had a warrant against him on the part of the U. States. Col. Burr was now consequently in the custody of the Marshal.
Within a very short time after, they repaired to another room in the Eagle, before Judge Marshall. The examination was a private one: There were few auditors present. The Editor was not among them.
Edmund Randolph, and John Wickham, Esqrs. counsel for the prisoner. Cesar A. Rodney and George Hay, Esqrs. counsel for the prosecution.
The Attorney of the district observed, that it was his duty to charge the prisoner present, and upon evidence which he should exhibit before the court, of the crime of treason against the United States and of the misdemeanor of having prepared within the United States an expedition against the dominions of the King of Spain, with whom the United States were then in amity.
The evidence was then produced. It consisted of the record of the proceedings held in the cases of Bollman and Swartwout, before the circuit court of the district of Columbia. No viva voce testimony was produced, except that of Mr. Perkins, which related to the arrest of Col. Burr, within the Mississippi Territory.
After this evidence was laid before the court, Mr. Hay submitted the following motion in writing:
"The attorney of the United States for the Virginia district, prays that Aaron Burr, may be committed, upon the evidence now submitted to the Judge, in order that he may be tried at the next circuit court for this district, or at a special court to be held for that purpose, upon a charge of treason against the United States, and also for a misdemeanor in setting on foot within the territory of the United States a military expedition to be carried on from thence against the dominions of the King of Spain, with whom the United States were then and are now at peace."
It was then determined, that a public discussion should be held in the Capitol, this day at 10 o'clock, and that in the meantime Col. Burr should be admitted to bail: his bail to be bound in the sum of 5000 dollars.
Messrs. Thomas Taylor and John Gamble are his securities.
As this affair is at present coram judice , we shall limit our attention to factis alone, without wandering into commentis . Of these, enough hereafter.
April 4.
On Wednesday, the 1st day of April, Chief Justice Marshall, pronounced a most luminous opinion on the application for the commitment of this very extraordinary gentleman. The substance of which was, that there was no probable ground from the testimony yet adduced, for believing that Col. Burr had been guilty of treason, whatever might have been the intention; at least that there was not sufficient ground for a commitment on that serious charge: but that, on the probable ground of a misdemeanor, in setting on foot or preparing an expedition against the Spanish settlements; the deposition of General Wilkinson, when coupled with the cyphered letter though not sufficient for conviction, satisfied him sufficiently for commitment. He was therefore committed on that charge, with indulgence to remain until three o'clock under his existing recognizance, to enable him to give further bail, in the sum 10,000 dollars till the next court in May, for this district. Messrs. John Hopkins, Harry Heth, Thomas Taylor, John Gamble, and Major Langborn, to the honor of themselves, and in support of the just character of their native country, for its civility and attention towards strangers, voluntarily stepped forward and relieved this unfortunate and distinguished prisoner from the horrors of a dismal dungeon.
In animadvertting on that part of the testimony, on which the commitment was founded; particularly on the key or means which led to the decipher of the letter from Col. Burr to General Wilkinson, the Chief Justice does in most pointed and strong terms, as the writer of this article conceived, implicate General Wilkinson in the same offence for which he committed Mr. Burr. And in this there did not seem to be a dissenting voice, as the whole opinion given by the Judge appeared to be universally approved and most highly applauded.
Nothing could excite more general interest than this whole proceeding. It had been most ably argued the day before. The two attorneys for the United States performed their duty as well as the materials in their possession would admit of; and deserve the entire approbation and thanks of their country. It is proper to presume, that the president has appointed a gentleman of the first rate talents and qualifications in his profession for the head of that important department; and we Virginians have now the pleasure to testify, without regard to any party considerations, in favor of his gentlemanly deportment, and his apparently amiable and mild disposition. The attorney for our own district is well known, deservedly to rank among the first of his profession. So if there should be any lack of weight in their speeches, when they shall be seen in full with the others, it may justly be imputed to the deficiency of the means they had at this time to support their charges, and not to the want of abilities or inclination to perform their duty.
The argument of Mr. Wickham, who opened the defence, if correctly taken, will be found a master piece of elegant, ingenious and chaste eloquence. He left little or nothing new to be said by the gentleman who had to follow him; but yet, Mr. E. Randolph, in a lofty—and at one time, pathetic strain of sublime oratory, strowed over the trodden path of debate anew, with delightful and enchanting observations. Mr. Burr himself closed the defence, with a concise and pithy narration of his transactions, and the extraordinary proceedings against him. But in all this it is hoped the public will be more fully gratified by a publication now preparing by Messrs. Henaug and Munford, in whose faithfulness and skill it is believed we may place much reliance.
It would be improper, at this time to enter fully into the merits of Col. Burr's case; both as it might effect the judicial proceedings now pending, and as that effect might be very erroneous and improper, when founded solely on the testimony and circumstances yet known. Yet it cannot be improper to say one or two things of a mere subordinate or collateral nature, of what has already been publicly advanced and determined.
It is in the first place highly fortunate that this important case had fallen before the Chief Justice of the U. States—Really, as well as officially the superior Judge of the Nation. It is also highly gratifying that this very Superior Judge, in whose integrity and discernment all seem to place such well-founded confidence, should have found it reconcilable to his conscience and his judgment to send the highly accused person for further trial; and that too open to any other higher charge than the one for which he was committed. This will afford the government full time to defend itself against the high charges of persecution and tyranny, in dragging a citizen around the continent by both civil and military process—in arraigning him four times for the same offence in stripping him of all his property, as he himself has stated in open court—in shipping others off the territory of the United States, and committing them, not only to the hazard of the seas, but to the still greater evil so much complained of by our government itself, by the unlawful seizures and impressments of the tyrants of those seas ! It will afford them an opportunity also, of testing the propriety of their acts in these high toned proceedings, by prosecuting with equal vigour, and it is hoped with equal success; those who are equally guilty by their own rules of testimony, and who have with that equal guilt coupled the most flagrant and tremendous violations of the sacred constitution and laws of our country.
By their own rules of testimony, is meant one of the principles contended for by the prosecutors for the U. S. in the case of Col. Burr. Those gentlemen both contended, that the opinion of the Chief Justice himself in the case of Bollman and others, went sufficiently to decide the propriety in his own mind as to the commitment of Col. Burr. Let those gentlemen now look at the same Judge's opinion in Col. Burr's case, as it relates to Gen. Wilkinson; and say, whether an application to commit him also, will not be more proper, than a subpoena, to summon a partner in guilt, or strongly implicated, as a witness? Hence it is highly fortunate indeed, that this case should have come before this highest of all judicial authorities in the U. States. If the persons accused are guilty, it will be the means, it is hoped, of producing a general, and not a partial execution of justice upon all concerned. But, should only a few remain singled out for prose-
ecution, and those prove innocent after all the extravagant persecutions we have seen; we can only then applaud the course taken by the Judge, as perfectly upright and correct in the parts he had to act, while we shall remain silent for the present as to the conduct of others.
SUMMARY OF POLITICS. From Cobbett's Weekly Political Register.
AMERICAN STATES. . . What had been reported to have been said in parliament, upon our dispute with the American States, was noticed in the preceding number, volume X. 1007. Since that, some remarks, upon the subject, have appeared in the newspapers, particularly in the paper called the Courier . But, before I speak, particularly upon the subject of these remarks, it seems necessary to notice an occurrence of considerable importance, which has recently taken place in the country to which these remarks relate; which occurrence is no less than an accusation of treason, preferred, by one of the Attorneys General of the United States, against Mr. Aaron Burr, who, as the public will recollect, was lately Vice-President of that country. From the accounts which have reached this country, it would appear that Burr, who is a man of great ambition and of talents and courage equal thereto, had formed a scheme, which scheme, he was actually preparing to put in practice, for separating the Western from the Eastern part of that immense country, called the United States, and to erect a kingly government in the Western part, of which he himself intended to be king. In this project, viewing it with a mere philosophical eye, I see nothing more objectionable, than the novel circumstance of there being a king in the name of Aaron ; for, it is impossible for any man to make me believe, that the Western States will remain, for ten years, at the utmost, members of the Confederation. Separated from the inhabited part of the Eastern States (or, speaking more properly, perhaps, the Atlantic States) by an almost impassable wilderness of more than four hundred miles across; having their out let to the sea by a channel no where communicating with the Atlantic States, pursuing the same sort of traffic as the Atlantic States, and driving a trade to the same markets; under these circumstances, the Western States must necessarily be rivals of the Atlantic States, and two sets of States must feel, with respect to each other, as rivals of gain generally feel. And, to check the effects of this feeling, there is wanting in America that attachment to country , which some times operates so powerfully in other parts of the world, and which has its foundation in circumstances of which a native American has no practical idea. Mr. Burr may fail: but, I am not the man to say that he will fail; and, if he does, some other man will not:—at any rate, the separation must take place, and when it does take place, it will astonish me if that which is now called the Federal Government, should long remain in existence. The remarks, above alluded to, in the Courier , are as follows:—that news having been received from Charleston, that some English goods had been seized, in virtue of the non-importation act, a deputation of American merchants, waited, the other day, upon Lord Grenville to know how they should act, who told them, that the restraints, whatever they might be, would not be of long duration; whence the Courier concludes, that our ministers have given up the point. Whereupon, just as if the fact was notorious, the sagacious editor thus gravely proceeds: "Wx" (for they always speak in the style royal) "do not desire war with America, but we as little desire to see that system of concession to America continued, which has been adopted since the new ministry came into power. What right has America to expect concessions from us? Have we received any peculiar favor at her hands? Concessions must be as injurious to our commerce as to our national character. But, we confess, that we are not without our apprehensions; the ministers having shown themselves as incompetent to conduct a negotiation, as to carry on war with vigor and decision." The modesty of this last remark, coming from a partisan of the Pitts, must strike every one! What opportunities have the ministers had to carry on war with vigor and decision? The Pitts carried it on with vigor and decision, indeed, the year before! Who could the ministers get at to make war upon, except the Threshers in Ireland, upon whom, indeed, the Pitts would have made vigorous war
long enough ago? The novelty of this writer's remarks, with regard to concessions, must amuse every one who read the Register of the 20th of December; but, to the truth, which he did me the honor to borrow from me, he has added matter of his own of a directly contrary description. The present ministers have made no concessions to the American States; and none, I hope, they will make. The concessions were all made by the Pitts and the Addingtons, while these latter were under the absolute control of the former. It was they who gave up, in the meanest manner, the point so solemnly settled by the treaty of 1794. The concession not only drew from us about three millions in taxes, as will appear from the accounts laid before parliament, but it encouraged the Americans to demand further and still more dangerous concessions now. Had it not been for those concessions, the concessions now dreaded by the enlightened and public spirited editor of the Courier never would have been dreamed of on either side of the Atlantic. This wise man talks about injury to our commerce from the concessions, which, in the tone of the ignorant speech attributed to Mr. Perceval, he affects to dread; but, supposing the concessions to take place, they would not at all injure our commerce, which consists of buying and selling goods. It is our fleets that they would injure; our naval powers; our means of injuring our enemy; and, of course, our means of defending ourselves; all which might be reduced to nothing, and our commerce be still as flourishing as ever.
As to the practicability, however, of injuring even this commerce by the means of a non-importation act in America, the intelligence which I have received, and which comes down so late as the 2d of December, fully warrants all that I before said upon the subject, and the sum total of which was, that, to carry such an act into execution, and to adhere to it for any length of time, was impossible. It is said, that some English goods have in virtue of the act, been seized at Charleston.—But, at Philadelphia and New-York, if my intelligence be correct, there was no interruption at all to importation; and, so little did any one expect that the act would be enforced, that very few importers had tho't it prudent to order any additional supply in consequence of it.—That the act may be partially executed; that a blustering appearance of resolution may be exhibited for some weeks or for some months, is possible; but, that it should be continued in force, or that it should be at all, in any port, obeyed, as a law ought to be obeyed, as, I again assert, impossible. It was a hasty ebullition of vanity and ignorance. A sort of trick to try us. And in the minds of some few persons, amongst whom we may number the President, perhaps, it proceeded from philosophical notions, very good in themselves, but for the acting upon which the Americans are much too far gone in a contempt for every thing not tending to the accumulation of riches. It was upon the ground of opinions like these, I hope, that Lord Grenville gave that ascribed to him; that he told the American merchants, that the restraints could not be of long duration; and not upon the ground of concessions that he had made, or was about to make; for if he make such concessions as are affected to be apprehended by the speech ascribed to Mr. Perceval, then, indeed, will he be worthy of every epithet descriptive of baseness and apostasy in their most odious character and degree, I do not however, believe that he will so act. To concede a trifling point as to a particular vessel or two, seized under peculiar circumstances, and where the seizures may even appear to militate against the conceding regulations of the Pitts and Addingtons, I, for my part, should have no objection; but, to give up our right, or, in the least, to relax in the assertion and exercise of our right, to search neutral vessels, and therein to seize the property of our enemies, however, covered, and wherever coming from, would sink my Lord Grenville ten millions of fathoms below even Pitt himself. In the possession of this right; not in the mere formal claim and recognition of it, but in the substantial possession of it; in the unrelaxed exercise of it towards all nations without exception; it is in this that consists our maritime superiority. Without this right that superiority could not exist for two years; and this is a fact well known to our implacable and well-counselled enemy. Concession to the American States must, and would be followed by similar concessions to other powers; and, I must confess that, if such concessions were made, I should regard the

complete overthrow of the present government of this country as certain. This being my opinion, I feel as anxious I trust, and a little more so upon the subject, than the author of the speech ascribed to Mr. Perceval, who, it were well to examine his heart, would I am a afraid, find little else than a love of place and of half at the bottom of it; but, I cannot say, that I partake much in his apprehensions, especially when I find them founded upon what the ministers have done in the way of conceding to America, alluding to what was no concession at all, but a measure of great advantage to both countries, without creating the possibility of producing in time an injury to either, though the contrary was asserted in a speech of the master of the rolls, which, under the guide of legal gravity, exhibited more ignorance in statement and more sophistry in reasoning, than any speech that I remember ever to have heard.
LONDON, Feb. 24.
A long debate took place last night in the House of Commons, on the second reading of the bill for the abolition of the slave trade. On a division at half past four o'clock this morning, the question was carried in the affirmative, by a majority of 183 to 16.
Lieutenant general Whitelock is immediately to proceed to South America, to take the chief command in that quarter. He is to take with him a considerable staff, and the whole of the forces under his command will amount to about 10,000 men.
FRANKFORT, Jan. 29.
Some German Journals have published the capitulation of Choczim, the first place in Moldavia that has been occupied by the Russians. It will be recollected, that general Michelson, on entering that province, announced in his proclamations, that the Russians acted only as friends and protectors of the Ottoman empire. It is easy to judge of the good faith and real designs of the court of Petersburg, from the following, and particularly from the third article.
Capitulation of Choczim.
Art. 1. The Turkish troops shall be allowed to leave the fortress with all their effects. 2. The Turkish Government shall cease, from the day of its surrender, and that of his majesty the emperor of the Russians shall succeed. 3. The fortress and the Raja (territory) shall belong to the Russian monarchy. 4. So also shall the artillery in the place. 5. The Pacha shall be at liberty to remain in the Turkish empire. 6. The Turks who may wish to remain in the Raja, shall not be molested in the exercise of their religion. 7. After the surrender of the place, the Turks shall be allowed to remain in it fifteen days, to sell their effects on the market days. 8. During these fifteen days, all Turks shall be prohibited to carry arms, under pain of death.
PETERSBURG, Jan. 9.
Gen. Kaminski and Buxhovden have been recalled from their commands. Prince Reprathion, a pupil of Souvaroff, is ordered to join the army.
Beningsen is commander in chief of the army. His abilities have been shown to be of a superior class. His conduct on the twenty sixth December has commanded the approbation of his enemies. On that occasion, the French loss consisted of from 7000 to 8000 slain, besides wounded and prisoners, whereas the Russians did not lose more than 2000 in all.

The Prussians fly before us. We have this day already occupied Starzgard. My left wing, at Stople, cuts off the communication between Colberg and Dantzic. We have not yet seen a single patrol of the enemy. If they defend Dantzic with the same courage with which they have defended this province, that ancient seat of the Poles will soon have its brothers in arms in its bosom. All this, my dear general, belongs to the wonders of the age in which we live. The genius of Napoleon precedes his standards wherever he sends them.
Thick forests separate me from general de Dombroski, but to morrow I shall certainly join him behind Stargardt.
All the inhabitants of this country, and particularly the Germans established here, were in great anxiety previous to our arrival. They feared to find us cruel and vindictive; but they have only found brothers, and they forgot that they were born Germans. The town of Conitz, against which there has been so many complaints, certainly gave a fine example of patriotism after they had experienced our kindness—I demanded of them uniforms and other necessaries, with the exception of horses, offering to pay for every thing but the town promised to deliver every thing gratis, and is seriously employed in performing this promise. Judge of what will happen at Dantzic, &c.
“DE KOSINSKI.”
WARSAW, Feb. 9.
The emperor continues frequently to make short excursions. An order has been issued at Posen to arrest all persons who say any thing to the prejudice of the Grand army. This order is in consequence of the scandalous reports that get abroad.
The Polish army has marched against Dantzick, and are before that place.
The French have appeared in the vicinity of Stralsund.
Their Prussian majesties are at Konigsberg. Their return thither is considered a proof of their confidence that the French will not be able to advance.
The French have evacuated Elbing; also Ostrolenka, and some other places considered too far advanced from the Main Body.
ALTONA, Feb. 13.
Bonaparte has offered to the Swedes, if they will make peace, to give them Norway, belonging to the Danes! The Swedes refused the offer, and sent the letters to the Court of Denmark. The king of Sweden is stated to have said, "I shall never in my life become the ally of such a robber as you."
Apprehensions are entertained of a visit from the Russians in Italy.
It appears that a battle, which ended in favour of the Russians, took place at Monringen, Jan. 26. The Russians attacked the left wing under Ponte Corvo.
The Russians advanced posts were at Culm, on the Banks of the Vistula.
There cannot be the least doubt of the recent success of the Russians, as they absolutely occupy places which had been in possession of the French.
The 54th bulletin says marshal Ney advanced 20 leagues, and returned without loss.
The French are said to be in great want of provisions.
FROM FRANCE.
Capt. Adamson, who has arrived at Boston, left Bordeaux city about the 1st of Feb. The reports there, were that the French had been very roughly handled by the Russians—it was said 50 officers had been killed. Conscripted were often seen in Bordeaux. They did not appear covetous of glory. Business as dull. Four frigates were lying ready for sea. The Washington, of Philadelphia, with the crew of the French frigate Valeureuse on board, had been taken by a British frigate; but was afterwards forced into St. Sebastians in a gale of wind. Some neutral vessels had been seized for an alleged breach of the November decree.
PHILADELPHIA, April, 13.
Important.—By a gentleman just arrived in town from New-York, we learn the ship President Adams has arrived at Boston, from Liverpool, bringing London intelligence to the 26th of Feb.
It is stated that a severe engagement took place between the Russians and French about the 25th or 26th of January, in which the French experienced a signal defeat and lost several of their general officers. Marshal Lannes is said to have had both his legs shot off, Bernadotte to have been taken prisoner, and Davoust to have been killed.
Such is the substance of the intelligence as we have received it. The particulars we have not yet learned.
MARTINSBURG, April 24.
On Saturday last the 18th inst. departed this life, Mrs. ALBURTIS, consort of Mr. JOHN ALBURTIS, Editor and Proprietor of the "Berkeley and Jefferson Intelligencer." In this worthy woman were concentrated many of the qualities which give lustre to feminine excellence. Dignity without pride, cheerfulness without levity, intercourse without obloquy, and benevolence without ostentation, were some of the ingredients which constituted the accomplished mind of the amiable departed.—Under a most poignant and tedious disorder she was calm and resigned; and though parting with all that was dear, affectionate Relatives, a tender Husband, and her lovely Infant, she met her destiny without a murmur. Full of hope, and full of immortality, she is gone to another and a better world, while she lives in the bosom of her Friends, and has left a bright example, both in life and in death, how it is to live and die in peace.
Capt. Chew, arrived at New-York, brings London papers to the 8th of March, which state that it had been resolved to abolish the slave trade from the 7th of March next. A letter had been received in London from a merchant in Warsaw, mentioning the death of Murat. The following are the most interesting articles contained in the London prints, with regard to the situation of the French and Russian armies. They are too general and vague to be entitled to much credit.
LONDON, (Sunday) March 8.
We have the infinite pleasure in being able to announce the arrival of a messenger, this morning, from Petersburg, with the official accounts of a succession of
IMPORTANT VICTORIES
Obtained by the RUSSIANS OVER THE FRENCH, Between the 1st and 13th Feb.
Mr. Vlick, who is the bearer of these joyful tidings, left Petersburg on the 17th of Feb. and Gottemburgh on the 1st inst. on board the Amity packet, which was dispatched for his conveyance. From him we have the happiness to learn, that general Beningsen has officially announced several victories obtained by him over Bonaparte, in one of which the French lost upwards of twenty thousand men, a large portion of their artillery, and twelve standards.
Six of these latter had been triumphantly exhibited on the parade of Petersburg, previous to Mr. Vlick's departure.
A French general has deserted the sinking fortune of Bonaparte, and has arrived at St. Petersburg. He reports, and his statement is confirmed from various quarters, that Bonaparte since his invasion of Poland, has lost upwards of one hundred thousand men.
Mr. Vlick was detained at Gottemburgh two days, by contrary wind.
The following note was circulated in the ministerial circles shortly after Mr. Vlick's arrival:
"A king's messenger arrived this morning, with dispatches from St. Petersburg, communicating the official details of the operations of the Russian army in Prussia. It appears that the ardent and persevering gallantry of the Russian general, has been crowned with signal success—for several successive days he attacked the French army, always to advantage but in the last affairs, to their decisive defeat, they having on that occasion lost upwards of twenty thousand men, twelve Eagles, and several pieces of cannon."
"Great rejoicings have taken place at Petersburg, and the city was illuminated at the departure of the messenger."
Latest news from Europe by the last mail. The brig Lydia, capt. Webb, has arrived at Philadelphia, in forty days from Bourdeaux. The only articles yet given in the Philadelphia prints are the 56th,
57th and 58th Bulletins of the French Grand Army. Their great length prevents their insertion in this paper.
The 56th Bulletin is dated Arensdorf, Feb. 5. It states that the Emperor of France had ordered Bernadotte to retire, and to favour the offensive operations of the enemy by drawing him towards the Vistula. After various movements the battle of Berried took place, in which 1600 Russians were taken, and the Russian army defeated, having retreated six leagues fighting.
The battle of Waterdorff followed, in which the French compelled the enemy to retreat.
After this ensued the battle of Deppen, in which the French took several thousand prisoners, and succeeded in cutting off the greater part of the communications of the Russian army. The loss on the part of the French is represented as extremely small.
The 57th Bulletin is dated Preussisch Eulen, Feb. 7.
It gives a brief account of the battle of Hoff, in which the French cut to pieces two regiments of infantry. A part of the armies passed the ensuing night in presence of each other, when the Russians filed off.
The 58th Bulletin is dated Prusnick Eulen, Feb. 9, and gives an interesting description of the battle of Eulen, in which the Russians were defeated, after a terrible encounter, and in which the French lost 1,900 killed, and 5,700 wounded—and the Russians 7,000 killed. The French took from twelve to fifteen thousand prisoners. Marshal Augereau was wounded.
This bulletin concludes in the following terms:
"This expedition is at an end; the enemy being beaten and driven back one hundred leagues beyond the Vistula; the army is about to encamp, and return into winter quarters."
The latest accounts by other arrivals, state the triumph of the Poles over the Prussians, and the entry of the French into Swedish Pomerania.
LONDON, Feb. 20.
Sir Home Popham has arrived from the River of Plate, is under arrest, and must be tried—he is treated with much respect. Government are determined to try Buenos Ayres once more; but Monte Video will probably be the first attacked. Sir Home returned in an American ship.
The question for emancipating the Irish Catholics is to be again agitated in Parliament.
GEORGE-TOWN, April 4.
Biennershasset, who was some time ago arrested at Natchez, has been ordered to Virginia for trial. Ralston and Floyd, who were arrested at the same time, are to be tried in the Mississippi territory. They have been released from their confinement on writs of Habeas Corpus.
CHILICOTHE, March 21.
General Wilkinson.—By a gentleman who passed through this place on Thursday, just from New Orleans; we are informed that gen. Wilkinson was very busily engaged fortifying the city, at the expense of seven thousand five hundred dollars per day!!! And that every individual is exasperated against him to so great a degree, that it was supposed he could not venture without the walls in safety. He was rolling in splendour and extravagance; and his table is as profusely furnished as that of any palace in Europe.
An apology, for any inaccuracy's, is respectfully offered to a sympathising Public, as the Editor has not been able to attend the duties of his Office this week.
THE subscribers have just received an additional supply of very handsomely drawn BAR-IRON from the Antietam Forge, it being most approved of Iron that is made in this part of the country, we always intend keeping a general assortment hereafter.
