PARIS, May 5. All the private letters from Swedish Pomerania, confirm the news of the advantages gained by the French and of the suspension of arms previously reported to have been concluded between Marshal Mortier and Gen. Essen. The conditions of it which have been published, leave all the advantage to the French and throw a light upon the pacific views of Sweden.
Perhaps this excursion of the garrison of Stralsund was to have been supported by the English expedition so often announced. The Swedes must now be entirely undeceived upon the advantage and efficacy of this alliance. It has been seen even in this war, that they marched with regret against their ancient friends. The occasion of returning to their natural policy, is perhaps not far distant. The conduct of both parties gives great hopes of it.
The approximate situation of the French and Russian armies, announces a great event as near at hand. But the match is not equal between them either as to the genius of the commanders, the quality of the soldiers, or the resources in case of a defeat. We have already seen that Russia had put into a single army the flower of her forces and her last hope. On this side, France has an immense superiority over her. In the interior, a national guard formed to the exercise of arms and, in several departments, to the fatigues of war, and ever ready to march wherever the enemy should menace her: numerous legions, impatient of acquiring glory, are going again to secure the defence of their country; in Italy, upon the borders of the Rhine, on the Elbe, the Oder and the Baltic, and in Silesia, other numerous corps succeed and back each other, and range themselves under the wings of that grand army which now suffices alone to attract the looks and unite all the defensive means of the enemy. Thus, he for whom the victory is not doubtful, would have more means than his enemies, even to repair a defeat. Such is the present disposition of the forces of France, that she is every where superior to the attacks which might be projected against her.
Twenty-second Bulletin of the Grand Army. FINKENSTEIN, 23d April, 1807.
The operations of marshal Mortier have succeeded as well as could be wished. The Swedes had the impudence to cross the Peene, to stretch out towards Anklam and Demmin, and march towards Passwalk. On the 10th before day, marshal Mortier assembled his troops, stretched out from Passwalk upon the road to Anklam, overthrew the positions of Billing and Ferdinandshof, made 400 prisoners, took two pieces of cannon, entered pell-mell with the enemy into Anklam, and took possession of his bridge upon the Peene.
The column of the Swedish general Cardell, was cut off. It was at Uckermark where we were already at Anklam. The Swedish commander in chief d'Arnold was wounded with a grapeshot; all the enemy's magazines were taken.
The column of gen. Cardell which was cut off, was attacked on the 17th at Uckermark, by the general of brigade Veau. It lost three pieces of cannon and 100 prisoners. The rest embarked on board gun boats upon the Haff. Two other pieces of cannon and 100 men were taken on the side of Demmin.
Baron d'Eben who commands the Swedish army in the absence of gen. Arnfeld, proposed a truce to gen. Mortier, making known to him that he was specially authorised by the king to conclude it. Peace and even a truce granted to Sweden would fulfil the dearest wishes of the emperor, who has ever been truly grieved to make war against a generous and brave nation, who are geographically and historically friends of France. And in fact, ought the Swedish blood to be shed for the defence of the Ottoman empire or for its ruin? Ought it to be shed to maintain the equilibrium of the seas or to enslave them? What has Sweden to fear from France? Nothing. What has she to fear from Russia? Everything. These reasons are too solid that, in so enlightened a cabinet and among a nation which has knowledge and opinion, the present war should not speedily have an end. Immediately after the battle of Jena, the emperor made known the desire he had to establish the ancient relations of Sweden with France. These first overtures were made to the Swedish minister at Hamburg; but they were repelled. The emperor's instructions to his generals have ever been to eat the Swedes like friends with whom we have a quarrel, and with whom the nature of things will ere long put us in peace again. These are the dearest interests of the two nations. "If they did any harm, they would one day weep for it; and on our side, we should be desirous of repairing the harm we should have done them. The interest of the state soon or late gets the better of feelings out and of petty passions." These are the very words of the emperor's orders. It was this sentiment that the emperor countermanded the operations of the siege of Stralsund, and caused a return from thence the mortars and pieces of ordnance which had been sent hither from Stettin. He wrote in these terms to general Mortier: "I already regret what has been done. I am sorry to see fine suburbs of Stralsund have been hurt. Yes it belong to us to do harm to Sweden? That is only a dream. It belongs to us to defend her, and not to do her harm. Do her the least you can. Propose to the governor of Stralsund an armistice, a suspension of arms, for the purpose of alleviating and rendering less fatal a war which I look upon as criminal, because it is impolitic."
The suspension of arms was signed on the 18th between marshal Mortier and gen. d'Essen. Annexed is the copy of this suspension of arms. The siege of Danzig is going on. Annexed is the journal of the operations.
On the 16th April, at eight o'clock in the evening, a detachment of 2000 men, and six pieces of cannon of the garrison of Glatz, marched to the right of the position of Frankenstein: the next day the 17th at break of day, a fresh column of 800 men made a sally out of Silberberg. These united troops marched against Frankenstein and commenced the attack at five o'clock in the morning in order to dislodge gen. Lefevre, who was there with his corps of observation. Prince Jerome set out from Munsterberg at the first cannon shot and arrived at ten o'clock in the morning at Frankenstein. The enemy was completely beat and pursued as far as the covert ways of Glatz. Six hundred prisoners and three pieces of cannon were taken from him. Among the prisoners are one major and eight officers; three hundred fell in the field of battle. Four hundred men having strayed into the woods, were attacked at eleven in the morning and taken. Col. Beckers, commander of the 6th Bavarian regiment of the line, and col. Scharfenstein, of the Wurtemberg troops, performed prodigies of valour. The former, although wounded in the shoulder, would not quit the field of battle; he flew every where with his battalion, and every where performed prodigies. The emperor has granted each of these officers the insignia of the Legion of Honour.—Captain Beorkfeld, provisional commander of the Wurtemberg horse rangers, distinguished himself. It was he who took the pieces of cannon.
The siege of Neiss is advancing. The town is already half burnt, and the trenchers are drawing near the fortress.
CONSTANTINOPLE, March 23. French officers of the engineers and others, continue to arrive here from Dalmatia, and are immediately employed. The batteries which had been hastily thrown up round the capital, at the time of the appearance of the English fleet, are to be augmented and improved. Three hundred cannon of large calibre have been sent from the arsenal to the Dardanelles, together with ovens for heating the balls. There are now on the coast of Asia and Turkey, near 30,000 Turks ready to defend the forts and castles.
The news is confirmed of the Anglo-Russian fleet having quitted Tenedos. Nine or ten men of war, are, however, still cruising at the entrance of the Dardanelles. Independent of the two sloops of war which the English lost on the 3d, on their passage back through the strait, a ship of the line which had been greatly damaged by the cannon shot from the forts, foundered, on the 4th, near Tenedos.
The number of troops arrived from Asia, amounting to 60,000 men have set out on their road to the Danube, within this fortnight past. Most of our garrison, consisting of Janissaries, have also set out on their march.
Intelligence is shortly expected of the progress of Jussai Pacha, governor of Erzerum, who is to advance in the Crimea, and, in conjunction with the Persians, to make a general attack on the Russians. The whole coast of Africa is in motion to second the Turks and defend Islamism. According to intelligence from Morocco, the emperor there has proclaimed war against Russia, in great form. The emperor sat on his throne surrounded by all his court, and made a speech in which he recapitulated the glorious feats of his ancestors, the bravery which more particularly characterized the inhabitants of Morocco and Fez. Immediately after the declaration of war, the descendant of Ismael Muley drove into the Russian and English consuls and delivered letters of marque to his corsairs, authorising them to capture all the vessels they may meet with belonging to these two powers.
The Dey of Algiers and Tripoli have imitated this example, and a great number of Barbary corsairs are now cruising in the Mediterranean.
March 26. The French ambassador, Gen. Sebastiani, transacts business every day for some hours with the minister of the Porte. There is no measure taken in the army or navy without his being informed of it. He receives dispatches almost every day from his sovereign. The number of Asiatic troops which have passed through here within this fortnight, on their march to the Danube is estimated at 60,000 men.
BUCHAREST, March 10.
The Russian troops in Moldavia and on the side of Ismail, do not exceed 15,000 men. The corps which is in Wallachia has not above 10,000. Among this number is a regiment of dragoons without half its complement of men, one of Cossacks and another of Hussars. All these troops are composed of raw recruits.
The Russians wished to organize a Greek or Walachian militia, and for this purpose got 10,000 suits of regimentals made; but the boyards and inhabitants did not accept this invitation. In consequence the Russians found themselves under the necessity of enlisting the slaves of the boyards and a few strangers. The whole of this levy may amount to 2000 men.
The inhabitants of Walachia and Moldavia are in general very dissatisfied with the Russians, because they commit many exertions; the family of Gika is more particularly devoted to the Russians. It is the first Walachian family, and has great influence over the secondary boyards; however, the latter are seeking for pretexts to withdraw from Kronstadt, in Transylvania, until the fate of the country be fixed.
There is a great stagnation in our trade. The shops in the town are all shut up. On complaint being made upon this head to prince Ypsilanti, he answered that the Russians came with him to deliver Walachia from Barbarians; this prince is himself not upon the best terms with gen. Michelson. He
lodges in a private house and is without any real authority. The princess Ypsilanti is not come to Bucharest; she remains, with her children, at Kaminick, waiting the issue of events.
The Russians have been deeply affected since the check they received towards Ismail at the end of February, in which their troops were completely routed.
Mr. Rodofinski, the Russian diplomatic agent, has twice had conferences with some envoys from Nasir of Ibrail. This Nasir was three times a prisoner among the Russians; he is at war with the Pacha of Rodoschuk, and marched against him a certain Giader Cassan, with about 2000 men, to take possession of Silestria. It is said that a particular arrangement has been made between this Turkish commander and the Russian agent.
A great misunderstanding subsists between gen. Mondorf and gen. Michelson. The latter has just met with very unpleasant treatment from the boyards. Having invited all the ladies to a great ball, not one of them came to it, and he was obliged to withdraw. ( Mouiteur. )

THE PUBLICK LEDGER.
MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 29, 1807.
THE GRAND JURY at Richmond terminated the arduous business, in which they have been so long engaged, on Friday last, by finding seven bills for Treason and Misdemeanours, against the following persons, viz. Aaron Burr, Herman Blannerhasset, Jonathan Dayton (late a Senator for the state of New-Jersey) John Smith (a Senator from the state of Ohio, and who voted for the suspension of the Habeas Corpus) Comfort Tyler, Davis Floyd and Israel Smith. Many interesting particulars could be noticed, but as the whole subject will shortly come under discussion at the trials in chief, which will be held immediately, we shall refrain any observations at this time.
On Friday afternoon, one of the schooners which have heretofore attended the British ships of war, cast anchor near the fort, and immediately an officer left her in a boat and proceeded up the river to the British Consul's. This information was soon spread through the town, and the effect produced may be easily conjectured. A number of boats put off from the wharves, after two of them had reached the boat another officer who had remained on board the schooner, hoisted a white flag, the signal for a flag of truce, for the first time, for certainly (and we can say so from our own knowledge) she did not come up as a flag of truce.
Before the officer reached the British Consul's, he was met by a number of citizens, who offered no personal violence; but apprehending it, or that the officer might be detained, the Consul claimed the protection of the civil authority, and the sanctity of the character in which the officer had come. The latter ground was not tenable, as war does not exist, and again the vessel had not come up as a flag of truce ought. Respect however for the civil power, and sentiments of generosity, prevailed, and in about an hour after his arrival, the officer was put on board his vessel, without receiving the smallest violence or injury, and immediately departed.
May this spirit of moderation, produce effect where it ought, if it does not, it will command respect even from those who will not be influenced by the example.
Our distant readers will, no doubt, look with anxiety for intelligence from this quarter. Our duty will be to carefully collect and collate all the information in our power, and publish such only as we shall consider may be interesting, and at the same, such as we believe to be correct. We shall endeavour to avoid the thousand idle rumours, which are daily circulating.
Yesterday evening the Committee received information from Hampton, that an attempt to land at that place would be made from the British ships below. Nearly 300 Citizens immediately volunteered their services to man the Gun-Boats, and proceed instantly to Hampton, and they will go off this afternoon, four in number. No place can be better defended by gun boats than Hampton, on account of the bar, which prevents the access of large vessels. There may be no real foundation in this belief, but the unprepared state in which the Chesapeake was attacked, inspires an uncommon vigilance and suspicion.
The following letters have passed between the committee and the British Consul, which are published for the information of the publick.
THO. ARMISTEAD, Sec'y of the Committee.
British Consul's Office, Norfolk, Virginia, June 25, 1807.
To Brigadier general Mathews, chairman of the Committee appointed to carry into effect the Resolutions, &c.
Sir, "As I do not perfectly understand how far the construction of the Resolutions adopted at the meeting held yesterday, as they respect the communication between myself and his Majesty's ships in the Chesapeake, may be supposed to extend, I beg leave to enquire of you, Sir, as the Chairman of the Committee appointed to carry those resolutions into effect, whether any or what restraint is thereby intended to be laid on my communication with the King's ships—whether the schooners which have hitherto been used as advice boats, will be permitted to pass as heretofore, uninterruptedly, and whether there will be any objection to myself or any of my family, going to and returning from the ships of war below, in such boats as may be allowed to carry my correspondence, or to our going by and to the Bay-side, and embarking from thence and returning to the shore in the ships boats.
I have the honor to remain, With perfect respect, Sir, Your most obedt. humble serv't. JOHN HAMILTON.
To Col. John Hamilton, Consul for the State of Virginia.
Sir, "In answer to your letter of this date, I am directed by the Committee to say, that the sch'r's hitherto employed as advice-boats in the service of
his Britannic majesty's ships, cannot be permitted to pass and re-pass as heretofore. The Committee view the object of the resolutions as intending to prevent supplies of every kind being afforded to these ships until the pleasure of our government be known. The committee can see no obstacle to you or any of your family communicating with the officers of his Britannic majesty's ships in either of the modes you mention, confident that no attempt will be made to contravene the resolution restricting supplies. The boats you may engage in this service will be permitted to pass without examination.
I have the honour to be, With perfect respect, Your most obedient humble serv't, TH: MATHEWS, Chairman of the Committee. Norfolk, June 26, 1807.
At a meeting of the Committee at the Eagle Tavern, on Friday, June 23, 1807.
Present—Thomas Mathews, Daniel Beddinger, J. W. Murdaugh, Luke Wheeler, William Newsum, Thomas Newton, Thomas Blanchard, Tho. Armistead.
Resolved unanimously, as the opinion of this committee, that the British officer who this day brought dispatches to Colonel Hamilton, not having hoisted a flag before his approach to our harbour, was not afterwards entitled to be considered as coming under the protection of a flag of truce; and as such, he should not have been discharged, but should have been held in custody until the pleasure of the government was known.
Resolved unanimously, That it is the opinion of this Committee, that any British officer coming to this place, shall be considered as a prisoner, until the decision of the government be known.
Resolved unanimously, That the proceedings of this meeting be regularly published.
The Committee of Correspondence laid before the Committee, a letter from Mr. Hope, of Hampton, which was ordered to be published.
Resolved, That Theodorick Armistead and Thomas Newton jun. be a Committee to ascertain the best means of establishing a Telegraphick communication between the sea-shore and this place.
Mr. James W. Murdaugh having informed the Committee that a number of young gentlemen had instructed him to offer their services for the erection of batteries for the defence of the towns of Norfolk and Portsmouth.
Resolved, That Mr. Murdaugh be requested to return them the thanks of this committee for their patriotic offer, and trusts that the time is not distant when an opportunity will be offered for the display of their zeal.
THO. MATHEWS, Chairman. THEO. ARMISTEAD, Sec'y.
DIED on Saturday last, at the Marine Hospital, ROBERT MACDONALD, one of the seamen wounded on board the Chesapeake frigate. Yesterday his funeral was attended by nearly four thousand citizens—the body was brought over from the Hospital Point, attended by a procession of boats, to the market wharf. Minute guns from the artillery firing during the time, all the American shipping with colours half mast. Arrived at the County wharf, a procession was formed, which marched up Market Square, through Catharine-street, to Freemason-street, and from thence to Christ Church, where an appropriate, impressive, and patriotic discourse was delivered to a most numerous congregation, by the Rev. Mr. Davis.
The following was the order of procession: Detachment of the Junior Volunteers.

Proceedings of the Committee at the Exchange Coffee House, on Sunday, 28th June—Present Thomas Mathews, Seth Foster, Moses Myers, Francis S. Taylor, J. W. Murdaugh, Thomas Blanchard, Luke Wheeler, Theodorick Armistead, Richard Blow, Thomas Newton.
The committee of correspondence submitted to the meeting a letter from sundry gentlemen (as a committee of correspondence) of Williamsburg, whereupon they were instructed to transmit the resolutions entered into on Friday last.
Resolved, That the letter from the committee
of correspondence of Williamsburg be published in the papers of this Borough.
Whereas the committee have received information from various sources that the commander of the British ships have menaced the inhabitants of Hampton with an invasion for the purpose of procuring water. It is Resolved, That application be made to Captain Stephen Decatur, commander of the United States' Naval Force at this place, to equip the Gun-Boats, in availing himself of the services of the Captains and Seamen who have proffered them, to proceed to Hampton, or as near it as he may judge proper, to co-operate with the people in their defence, in any manner he may judge most expedient, or to act as circumstances may dictate in preventing the execution of the said threat.
Resolved, That Thomas Blanchard, Seth Foster and J. W. Murdaugh be a committee appointed to wait upon Captain Decatur with this application.
Resolved, That the thanks of this committee be given to the Rev. Mr. Davis, for the appropriate, eloquent, and patriotic discourse delivered by him this day.
To the Committee of Correspondence of Norfolk. WILLIAMSBURG, June 27, 1807.
Gentlemen, We conceive, that until the decision of our government be known, it is proper, just, and honourable, that provisional measures of retaliation should be with promptitude adopted. They are justified by the pressing necessity, that arises from the late British outrage. The unfortunate seamen, who were wrested from the Chesapeake, anticipate an ignominious and cruel death, which we fear will be dreadfully realized.
It is therefore recommended to the committee in Norfolk, to adopt proper measures to secure the persons of any of the crew of the British squadron that may be found on shore; and to use such means as they may deem proper to give information to the British commodore, that if the seamen taken from the Chesapeake shall be executed, it will be considered a just ground for retaliation; and that the British Seamen will be detained, to answer for the lives of the Seamen taken from the Chesapeake, until the sense of the American Government can be known.
We salute you.
Champion Travis, Burwell Bassett, William Coleman, Leroy Anderson, Tully Robinson, Robert Saunders, James Semple, Armistead T. Mason.
At a meeting of the citizens of Williamsburg, at five o'clock, June 26th, 1807, convened in consequence of a communication from a committee of patriotic citizens at Norfolk, COL. CHAMPION TRAVIS was appointed Chairman, and LEROY ANDERSON Secretary.
Accounts being read, detailing the late glaring outrage on our national dignity by the Leopard British ship of war, Captain Humphreys, in his assassination-like attack on the American frigate Chesapeake, Commodore Barron, at a moment when, in confidence of peace with all the world, the latter was quite unprepared for action: Resolutions expressive of the deep sensibility and indignant sentiments of the meeting on this occasion, were requested to be prepared by a committee, consisting of the following citizens: The hon. Chancellor Tyler, James Semple, Tully Robinson, Burwell Bassett, L. H. Girardin, William Coleman, Robert Saunders, William Russell and Armistead T. Mason; who, after a retirement, made the following report, viz.
This meeting, having taken into consideration the late outrage committed by the Leopard, a British ship of war, in company with the Bellona, Melampus and Triumph, on the Chesapeake frigate, belonging to the United States an outrage in which insolence, treachery, and cruelty were wantonly combined—Considering the misforn disposition of our government, and the people of the United States, to cultivate peace with all nations—indignant at the outrage committed on our flag and on our Citizens, and determined to act with the promptitude and decision which distinguished our forefathers of 1776.
Resolved unanimously, That with our fellow citizens of Norfolk, until the decision of our government be known on the subject, we will hold no intercourse whatever with a British ship of war in our waters, and that any person or persons carrying on or favouring such intercourse, will by us be deemed infamous, and hostile to our country.
Resolved unanimously, That we pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honour, to support our government in any measure they may adopt, whether of redress or vengeance, for the monstrous outrage committed on our flag and on our national rights.
Resolved unanimously, That we highly approve of the conduct of our fellow citizens of Hampton, in destroying the water casks of the British frigate Melampus.
Resolved unanimously, That the foregoing Resolutions be printed, and that a copy be forwarded to the Commandant, 68th Regiment of Militia, to the governor of his state, and to the President of the United States.
Which being read was unanimously agreed to.
Resolved, That a committee of correspondence be appointed, whose duty it shall be to communicate with other committees on the subject of the outrage committed on our flag and national honour.
A committee for this purpose was accordingly appointed, consisting of the following citizens, Champion Travis, Burwell Bassett, William Coleman, Leroy Anderson, Tully Robinson, Robert Saunders, James Semple and Armistead T. Mason.
A Copy, LEROY ANDERSON, Sec'y.
Trial of Col. AARON BURR.
WEDNESDAY, June 24.
On this day the grand jury brought in their report that both the indictments against Aaron Burr, for treason against the United States, and for a misdemeanour, were true bills. They also found two indictments, for treason and a misdemeanour, against Herman Blannerhasset, true bills; and informed the court that they had not finished the business before them; having enquiries to make against other persons.
When the court was opened, Mr. Benjamin Latrobe, and Mr. Edmond Bond were sworn as witnesses for the United States, and sent to the grand jury.
Some additional questions were put to Mr. Graham, relative to the motion against gen. Wilkinson, his answers to which proved nothing against him. Mr. Murray, a military officer under the general, was called as a witness, and deposed that, at the request of gov. Claiborne, he was stationed by gen. Wilkinson with a guard, at a place on the river, about one mile above New-Orleans, at the time when Burr and his forces were expected to come down; that he was commanded to arrest all suspected persons and take their papers, but particularly charged not to break any seals.
The debate then commenced with a speech of Mr. E. Randolph in support of the motion. He was followed by Mr. Martin on the same side: after which Mr. Wirt said the evidence was so clear in favour of gen. Wilkinson, that his counsel were willing to submit the question on the arguments already heard. The counsel for col. Burr insisted on proceeding further.
Mr. MRae then delivered a most eloquent and forcible discourse; which, we believe, convinced every human being who heard it, that the motion was altogether groundless, and gen. Wilkinson was not only innocent but praiseworthy.
Mr. Botts, in reply, was in the midst of a strain of invective against the general—when the grand jury suddenly came in, and made their report on the four indictments!
The consternation visible in the faces of col. Burr and his friends, and the awful impression produced on the surrounding multitude were beyond description.—(We have a very different story as to colonel Burr.)
Mr. Botts added a few remarks: after which col. Burr said it was discretionary with the court to admit him to bail, notwithstanding the finding of the grand jury; and declared he would produce a witness to prove that the indictment against him for treason was obtained by perjury!!
A long and desultory debate ensued, about the power of the court to bail him in this stage of the prosecution.—The Chief Justice at length declared that the court had the power to admit him to bail; but that power ought to be exercised with sound discretion according to the circumstances, and evidence in the case, and the usages of law; that the court could not impeach the verdict of the grand jury without going into all the evidence; and that he knew of no example of a person accused of treason, being admitted to bail after the indictment had been found against him, upon the ground of impeaching or controverting the evidence upon which it was founded. He called on the counsel of col. Burr to produce any such case; observing that the motion to bail him might be renewed; and in the mean time committed him to the custody of the marshal.
From the Boston Chronicle. COMMUNICATION.
A very numerous meeting of the Board of Overseers of Harvard University, in Cambridge, was held in the Senate Chamber on Friday last. It was observed that his excellency the governor, his honour the lieutenant governor, nearly all the members of the honourable council and senate, and the reverend clergymen from the six towns, were present. It was a pleasing sight thus to behold the honourable and reverend fathers of our country engaged in that important and interesting subject, the education of the youth of our country.
It appeared that the corporation had laid before the Overseers two communications, one of which was a report made by their committee on the subject of the late difficulties, which had appeared in the college, accompanied by a statement from the steward of the University, both of which related to the commons provided for the scholars, A WANT OF PROPER CARE IN THE PROVINCE OF WHICH, it was stated, had led to the unhappy disturbances among the students.
The other communication proposed a return of the scholars who had left the College, or whose relation to it had been suspended, and prescribed the terms on which they might be re-admitted to the College.
These communications had been committed to a committee of the Board, composed of his honour the lieutenant governor, and Dr. Eustis of the Council, the president, and the hon. Messrs. Hill, Philips, (S.) and Gore, of the Senate, and the rev. Dr. Kirkland, to consider and report thereon to the board.
It further appeared that the Chairman of that committee had prepared a report upon the subject, in two branches, and laid the same before the committee, a majority of whom had requested him to present the same to the hon. and rev. Board, as the result of their opinion upon the course the most wise and proper to be pursued in regard to the subjects to which they related.
This report being read by his excellency the governor, as president of the Board, it was moved, that that part of the report which proposed a concurrence with the corporation, in an alteration they had made in the commons, provided for the scholars, be accepted, which was done without opposition. This alteration proposed an improvement, by directing the steward to provide select pieces of beef, instead of purchasing by the entire side or quarter, as had before been the practice, and which it is ver-

y believed, was good enough for the scholars, if it was good, wholesome, and cooked in a neat and clean manner.
The whole of the report was again under consideration, and was in substance as follows:
That while the majority of the committee deem it necessary to possess with minute correctness a detailed statement of facts which led to, and produced the late perplexing difficulties at College, for the purpose of deciding on the measures which justice and policy call for, and truth can sanction; they are unable to collect such a statement, either from those general regulations, avowed by the steward as the past rules of his arrangements, or from the more particular report of the committee respecting the existing state of the kitchen, and the provisions. Very consistently, with the correctness of that report, there might have been, previously, a very different state of the kitchen, the cookery and the commons, especially at, and prior to the time of the scholars petitioning and leaving the hall. Whether this was the case, the committee are unable to say. Of facts they have no personal knowledge. Nor have they been able, since their appointment, from the various other pursuits to which they have been tied, to have recourse to the proper sources, to obtain that information which by a majority of the committee, is judged indispensable to the forming of correct opinions. A majority of the committee, however, from individual authorised communications, surrounded with circumstances which impose a degree of credit, are constrained to believe, that the providing and repairing the commons, not having been sufficiently attended to by all entrusted with their management, the scholars may have had but too just a cause to complain of their badness, and, in an orderly way, to seek for their improvement. From the real, or supposed badness and unwholesomeness of provisions and uncleanliness in preparing them, it is obvious has resulted the recent extraordinary transactions at College. Under these impressions, a majority of the committee are of the opinion that a full, open, critical, and candid examination of those transactions, are highly requisite to the well being of that institution, to the correction of its disorders, to the restoration of confidence, and to a friendly, good understanding among the numerous individuals who feel themselves interested in its reputation and welfare. The committee, do, therefore, with great deference and diffidence, submit to the consideration of the hon. and rev. Board of Overseers the propriety of appointing a committee, to make the above investigation, by the examination of witnesses and documents, and having recourse to such other sources of information as shall have a tendency to disclose the truth, and to prepare a statement of facts, with their opinion, of what may be proper and expedient for the overseers to do, under existing circumstances; and to make a report thereof, to that hon. and rev. Board, on the third Wednesday of the next session of the legislature of this commonwealth.
While the majority of the committee see, in the vote of the president and fellows of Harvard College of the 14th of May, a tender solicitude to call back all her alienated children to the bosom of the University; they fear the terms may be considered as inadequate and too severe. While, they are viewed as designed overtures of grace and of mercy, it is desirable at the same time that they should be effectual.
Notwithstanding, the highest respect is entertained by the committee, for the gentlemen who adopted that, and other votes on the subject, and for the purity and integrity of their motives; yet from a course of reflections not, obviously, embraced by the principles on which these votes have been founded, a majority of the committee have been led to contemplate not only a further investigation of facts, but different expedients, for the reproduction of harmony, at the College, and a reclamation of its alienated, and afflicted pupils. Penetrated with the deepest sorrow at the idea of their being cut off, or of cutting themselves off from the precious privilege of completing their education, at Cambridge, or at any other College, in this, or the neighbouring states, the committee rejoice in the hope that some sufficiently conciliatory system may yet be adopted for readmissions, if not to honours and special distinctions, certainly to the mere means of improvements in the arts and sciences. Surely, while a solicitude to support the authority and the best interest of the College, is mingled with paternal tenderness towards the scholars, on the part of the government; and the scholars, on their part, unconscious of any unfaithful, or designed acts of disrespect towards their instructors and governors, or of wanton disobedience to their laws, are desirous of avowing their sincere and devoted respect for the one, and of promising increased circumspection, with double pledges for future compliances with the other, there ought to be no impediment in the way of a reconciliation of all difficulties. The scholars are desirous to be restored; this they ask; for this they pray and it is believed they are ready to make every submission, every promise, every avowal of regret for their present situation, and every concession with their ideas of propriety, truth and good faith , will permit; but that they would be unhappy in making concessions, under an impression of their falsity and incorrectness, and with a mental contradiction, to their ostensible acknowledgments. Under these circumstances, as such scholars may be sincere and conscientious, the committee are of opinion, that the government may be indulgent; that the attitude of condescension, and magnanimity, is the attitude of authority and dignity; and to stretch to them, if deluded and faulty, the hand of forgiveness, will be, both correct in itself, and salutary in its effects. The majority of the committee do, therefore, further respectfully submit to the consideration of the hon. and Rev. Board of Overseers the propriety of a readmission of each of the alienated scholars to his former standing in his class, for the purpose of completing his education, on application, within one month, in a writing, containing his express declaration, that in the part he had taken, in the late transactions of the scholars, his only object was to induce an enquiry into, and a redress of supposed or real grievances under the impression that they had been neglected; that he meant no disrespect to his instructors, or governors, or to encourage a spirit of riot, disorder or disobedience to law, or the authority of the college; that if his conduct has been a source of any trouble to the government—and that in future , it shall be his greatest care, to exhibit an example of studiousness, respect for his instructors, and obedience to the laws: and that he will, at no time, while at college, unless in compliance with an
authorized requisition, make the measures or the principles touching the late disorders, a subject of conversation among the scholars—But the scholars so readmitted, shall neither have, or be considered as possessing any claims to the distinguished honours of the university, or to a degree, unless, by their future exemplary and meritorious conduct and improvements, the immediate government should think proper to bestow them.
A question upon the acceptance of the residue of the above report, gave rise to an animated debate. The principles of the report were vindicated, and the propriety of its adoption, urged by the hon. Dr. Kilham, Mr. Widgery, Dr. Eustis, and Mr. Dana, they contended, that the convulsions which had appeared in the college, the anxiety, which pervaded the minds of very many of the parents and guardians of the scholars, as well as the statements which had been made to individual members of the committee, demanded the examination proposed by the first branch of the report, that an enquiry would tend to throw off all ungrounded aspersions which had been cast upon any of the officers of the college, and if the reports which had been circulated should prove unfounded it would, nevertheless, quiet the minds of the parents and guardians of the scholars, and if they had made use of a mere pretext to justify a spirit of insubordination, the result, if made by a competent committee, would be a powerful engine to reduce them to subjection and obedience. That to impose very hard and severe terms upon the scholars who yet wished to be restored to the bosom of the university, was impolitic, and not consonant to the mild genius of the government under which they lived, to make them subscribe confessions of facts which they did not believe, might make hypocrites, but would not improve their morality; that a generous mind would revolt at extreme degradation;—That the commonwealth had an interest in the education of these youths, and was bound by all proper measures to aid in their restoration to the college, that their educations might be completed and their talents preserved for future use.
The principles of the report were condemned, and the propriety of its rejection advocated by the hon. Messrs. Philips, (of Suffolk) Otis, Gore, and Bliss, and by the rev. Drs. Elliot, Kirkland, and Holmes, this latter gentleman contended that the subject to which the report related had already been passed upon, by the board of overseers and were not now regularly before them, but this opinion did not receive much support—The objection principally contained that if difficulties had in fact existed, in regard to the commons, they were now removed, that tranquillity had already, in a great measure, been restored to the college, that the corporation had in fact made all necessary enquiry, and the overseers ought to confide in their report, that it was necessary to yield an unsuspecting confidence in the doings of men of character, well established, for talents and veracity, that to open a further enquiry would tend to keep open these wounds which would otherwise be healed before report could be made.
That by indulging in too frequent enquiries, by lending a ready ear to complaints against the officers of the college, they would be teased and drawn from the duties of their stations to defend themselves, and would finally be driven from places subject to such frequent investigations—That if an enquiry was ever to be instituted, the present time was not a proper one to make it; that the publick mind was in a state of agitation in regard to the college, which must subside before the impartial voice of justice could be heard.
To this it was replied, that a delay of justice was a denial of it, that if an opinion once prevailed, that no complaints against the officers of the College for remissness or neglect of duty could be received, the sufferers would turn with disgust from a tribunal from whose refusal to hear they expected no remedy, and from their justice no relief.
The question being taken upon the acceptance of the report, respecting the investigation, there rose in favour 24 members—against it 33. And so it was rejected; and on the question respecting the proposed terms for re-admission, there rose 26 in favour of them, and 29 against them, including 3 of the corporation, who if they had not voted, there would have been an equal division, and cast the decision of a question involving the fate of the institution, and a number of its best and most steady scholars, on his excellency.
The question upon concurring with all the doings of the corporation was then put, and there rose in the affirmative a majority of about the same number. And they were adopted.

DR. FRANKLIN.
Mr. WM. TEMPLE FRANKLIN, now in Paris, has just written to us the following Letter, in order to vindicate his character from the foul aspersions thrown out against him, in an article inserted in the last number of the Argus , extracted from the American Citizen. We publish this letter with the greater pleasure, as it contains a full and satisfactory answer to the calumnies circulated on his conduct, and announces sentiments worthy of the celebrated name he bears; at the same time that it gives the publick the hope of seeing a genuine Edition of the Works of Doct. Franklin, more conformable to the intentions and liberal principles of the Author.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE ARGUS.
Paris, Saturday 28th March 1807.
SIR, In the Argus of this day I have read, with equal indignation and surprize, the unfounded and illiberal attack made on my character; as well as the numerous falsehoods contained, in extracts from an American paper, and in the preface of a book which appears to be lately published in London, under the specious title of "The works of Doct. Franklin," my worthy grand-father.
To those acquainted with me, I flatter myself no justification is necessary to prove the falsehood of such unsupported assertions and insinuations; as base as they respect me, as they are ridiculous in regard to the British government:
But out of respect to public opinion, to the name I bear, and to those who honour me with their friendship;—I feel it incumbent on me, thus publicly and solemnly to declare, in answer to the libels in question.
1st. That it is false, as asserted, that I had my grand-father's "directions to publish the entire of his works"—He left them to my discretion in this respect, as well as to the period of publication: and no one has any right to interfere therewith.
2d. It is most atrociously false, as loudly and shamefully asserted (without even the attempt to prove it) that I sold my grand-father's manuscripts, or any part of them to the British government; or that any attempt, either direct or indirect, was made by that government or their agents, to suppress the publication of the whole or any part thereof. In which I cannot conceive they had any interest, as foolishly supposed.
3d. That the said original manuscripts, with the copy prepared for the press, are now, and have been long since, deposited by me under lock and key, in the secure vaults of my bankers Herries, Farquhar and Co. London. They will, therefore, not be lost to the world, as maliciously asserted from interested motives; as will appear at a future—and I hope early period.
4th. That previous to my leaving London I repeatedly offered to dispose of the copy-right of my grand-father's manuscripts to some of the most eminent printers there, and that too on very reasonable terms: (not for " several thousand pounds " as ridiculously set forth)—They not only refused to purchase, but even to undertake the printing, publishing, ect. at their sole risque; giving for reason, that the period was not propitious for a publication of that nature; owing to the state of affairs in Europe, which occupied solely the publick attention, so that no work of any extent—and not immediately connected with publick affairs, would sell; and that they had lost by all their late purchases of copy-rights of great works, even of the most celebrated writers of modern times.
5th. That the affairs of Europe remaining in the same unsettled state, and the publick mind continuing to be wholly interested therein, have alone influenced my not bringing forward a work, which to do it with propriety and becoming splendour, in honour to my much revered ancestor's memory, would be attended with very considerable expense and a very uncertain success, in such momentous times.
I have now, sir, replied to the various heads of malevolent and interested accusation brought forward against me; and I hope I have justified my character in as satisfactory a manner as it is possible, against accusations and insinuations without even a shadow of proof,—may even of probability, to support them.—It is easy to accuse—not always to defend. But I hope, sir, you will show your justice and impartiality by inserting this letter in your next Argus , as an antidote to the poison contained in the former one, as far as respects the character of,
Your humble servant,
WILLIAM TEMPLE FRANKLIN.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
VIA NEW-YORK.
LONDON, May 16.
Mr. Shaw the messenger, arrived late last night with despatches. The three Hamburgh mails which were due also arrived. They have not brought any intelligence of importance from Poland; and the Paris papers to the 8th assert, that hostilities will commence as soon as the weather will permit. All hopes of peace had vanished, the Paris papers admitting, that the overtures of Buonaparte had been peremptorily rejected. The senate, in an address to Buonaparte, in answer to his message relative to the conscription, talk of dictating peace, boast that his army is stronger by 180,000 men than it was at the commencement of the war, and hold out the prospect of his surprising, turning, and surrounding the Russian army, and compelling them to receive from him either death or law. Probably, however, his imperial majesty is not quite so sanguine in his expectation of surprising, turning, and surrounding the Russians, as his august senate.—Twice has he attempted this system of turning and failed.—The senate of course, echo the praises which Buonaparte bestows upon himself for his moderation.—"Our politics," say they, "are fixed. We offered peace to England before she brought forward the fourth coalition; this peace we offer her still. We are ready to conclude peace with Russia upon the same conditions which its negotiator had signed, and which the intrigues and influence of England compelled the emperor Alexander to reject. We are ready to restore tranquillity to the eight millions of people conquered by us, and the capital of Prussia to its sovereign."
His Swedish majesty has refused to ratify the extraordinary armistice concluded by gen. Essen, whom he has removed from his command. We may expect, therefore, to find the next bulletin from the grand army retracting all that has been said in praise of his Swedish majesty, and recurring to the old system of scurrility and invective. A reinforcement of 15,000 Swedes has been ordered to be embarked for Stralsund, and the Swedes will have in Pomerania an army of not less than 10,000 men. Buonaparte will thus be obliged to keep a strong force to watch them, and his grand army of course be weaker than it would have been had the armistice been ratified. The Vienna court gazette, in an article under the head of Turkey, states, that the Russians have made an unsuccessful attempt to take the Castle of Tenedos. The Dardanelles is strictly blockaded by the English and Russians.—The Turks in the interior are defeated in every encounter with the Russians. We shall soon see whether they will be more successful under Mahomet's standard, which had been conveyed from the mosque of St. Sophia, with extraordinary solemnity and pomp, to the camp near Adrianople.
Letters received here from an officer of the royal artillery in general Crauford's expedition, dated the 19th February, in lat. 30, long. 51, W. state the probability (as already mentioned in the London papers) of the expedition destined to attack the city of Lima in South America.

FINKENSTEIN, April 20.
The emperor has divided the grand army into three principal corps, which he has reviewed in succession. The enemy has also divided its force into three principal corps. One is to be commanded by the emperor of Russia in person, with general Beningsen under him. Another will be led on by the king of Prussia, assisted by generals Ruchel, Blucher, and Lestocq. The third will be commanded by the grand duke Constantine and gen. Tolstoy.—The principal advanced guards remain under the orders of prince Bragathion. It appears to be almost
certain, that every prospect of peace has vanished. the courts of Russia and Prussia having rejected the proposals made by the emperor Napoleon.
Lieut. gen. Tarleton, and major gen. Gascoyne, are elected members of parliament for Liverpool—aldermans Price, Shaw, Curtis, and Combe, are elected for the city of London.

SLOOP EXPERIMENT, FOR PASSENGERS ONLY.
ELIJAH S. BUNKER,
Begs leave to inform his friends and the public, that he will, on the first of July, commence running a Sloop of about 110 tons burthen, between the cities of New-York and Hudson, for the purpose of carrying passengers.
Few people who have had occasion to take passage up or down the North River, but have experienced the inconvenience and risk of going on board vessels deeply loaded and lumbered on deck: therefore Captain Bunker has determined to take no freight on board the Experiment, which will remedy that inconvenience and entirely do away the risk.
The owners of this vessel being desirous to render the passage as short, convenient, and agreeable as possible, have not only taken care to furnish her with the best Beds, Bedding, Linens, Provisions, &c. but they have been at very great expense and trouble in procuring materials and building her on the best construction for sailing, and for the accommodation of ladies and gentlemen travelling on business or for pleasure.
The Experiment will leave New-York every Wednesday evening precisely at 6 o'clock, and Hudson every Sunday morning at 8 o'clock, throughout the season.
Capt. Bunker having been several years engaged in the righting business between New-York and Hudson, has become well acquainted with every part of the river; and he hopes by attention and punctuality, to merit the patronage of ladies and gentlemen from the southward, who may visit the celebrated Palston, Saratoga, and Lebanon Springs, or travellers who may have occasion to travel through the northern states. The shortness of the passage to Hudson when compared with that to Albany or any place above Hudson, (where the river is impeded by bars, islands and overslows, that render it impossible for fast sailing vessels to pass) he thinks will induce most people who are acquainted with the difference, to take passage to Hudson, where carriages or boats can at all times be had, at a moderate expense, to convey them to Albany, Troy, Lansingburgh, or the Lebanon Springs, which are about 50 miles distance.

A WORK
That ought to be in the possession of every MAN.
THE LIFE OF GENERAL WASHINGTON, Complete in 5 volumes 8vo. with an elegant PORTRAIT, and a variety of Maps, is now ready for subscribers, and a few copies for Sale by JAMES TUCKLER.
The following remarks from a late London publication, attest the high opinion entertained of this authentic and interesting work. "The public will learn with interest that the literary monument which has long been projected to the memory of the most illustrious character of modern times, is at length completed. No apology can be requisite for erecting such a monument to him, who was the first in war, the first in peace, and the first in the hearts of his fellow citizens: to him who was the founder of a great and prosperous empire, and whose moderation and pure patriotism challenge the imitation of all statesmen. This performance of judge Marshall has already been distinguished by the most honorable & unequivocal testimonies; it has been hailed as an acquisition to standard literature; and it has been considered as deserving, in point of execution, a place by the side of Robertson's Charles the Fifth, and as unrivaled in the authenticity of its materials, by any work in the entire compass of history and biography."
