At the affair of Heilsberg, the Grand Duke of Berg passed along the line of the 3d division of cuirassiers, at the moment the 6th regiment had just made a charge, col. D'Avery, commander of the regiment, his sabre dyed in blood, said, "Prince, review my regiment, and you will find that there is not a soldier whose sword is not like mine."
Col. Borde Soult was wounded; Guibecene, aide-de-camp to Marshal Lasnes, was wounded.
[Here follow the names of some officers who signalized themselves.]
The sons of the senators Perignon, Clement de Ris, and Garran Coulon, died with honor in the field of battle.
Marshal Ney proceeding to Gumbinen, secured some of the enemy's parks of artillery, many wounded Russians, and took a great number of prisoners.
No. 82. dated TILSIT, June 22.
An Armistice has been concluded, upon the proposition of the Russian general. The following is the armistice: Armistice between France and Russia.
As his majesty the emperor of the French, and his majesty the emperor of Russia, are anxious to put an end to the war which has so long divided the two nations, they have in the mean time resolved to conclude an armistice. Their majesties have named and empowered the following Plenipotentiaries, viz. on one part the prince of Neufchatel, marshal of the empire, major-general in the grand army; and on the other part, lieut.-general prince Labanoff Von Rostrow, Knight of the Order of St. Anne, Grand Cross; who have agreed upon the following preliminaries:—
Art. 1. An Armistice shall take place between the French and Russian armies, in order that, in the mean time, a peace, to put an end to that bloodshed which is so contrary to humanity.
Art. 2. If either of the two contracting parties shall incline to break this armistice, which God forbid! the party so inclined shall be bound to signify this at the head quarters of the other army, and hostilities shall not again commence until one month after the above notification.
Art. 3. The French and Prussian armies shall conclude a separate armistice, and officers shall be appointed for that purpose. During the four or five days requisite for the conclusion of this armistice, the French army shall undertake no hostilities against the Prussians.
Art. 4. The limits of the French and Russian armies, during the armistice, shall be from the Curisen Hoff, the Thalweg of the Niemen, and up the left bank of that river to the mouth of the Arama at Staklins, and pursuing the course of that river to the mouth of the Bohra, following this rivulet through Roxano, Lipsk, Habin, Doltawo, Gomadz, and Wyha, up to the mouth of the Bohra in the Narew, and from thence ascending the left bank of the Narew by Tylodzyzni, Surats, Narew, to the frontiers of Prussia and Russia. On the Curisen Achrung the limits shall be at Nidden.
Art. 5. His majesty the emperor of the French, and his majesty the emperor of Russia, shall name Plenipotentiaries within the shortest time possible, who are to be provided with necessary powers for negotiating, concluding and signing a definitive peace between these two great and powerful nations.
Art. 6. Commissaries shall be named on both sides, in order to proceed immediately to the exchange of prisoners, which exchange shall take place by rank for rank, and man for man.
Art. 7. The exchange of the ratifications of the present armistice, shall take place within 48 hours, or sooner, if possible, at the head-quarters of the Russian army.—done at Tilsit, this 21st of June, 1807.

PROCLAMATION of the Emperor and King to the Grand Army.
Soldiers, on the 5th June we were attacked in our Cantonnements by the Russian army. The enemy mistook the causes of our inactivity. He found too late that our repose was that of the Lion—he regrets having disturbed it.
In the affairs of Guttstadt, Heilsberg, and the ever-memorable one of Friedland, in a ten days campaign, in short, we took 120 pieces cannon, 7 standards, killed, wounded, or took 60,000 Russians, carried off all the enemy's magazines and hospitals. Konigsberg, the 200 vessels that were there laden with all sorts of ammunition, 160,000 fusilless by England to arm our enemies.
From the Banks of the Vistula, we have reached the borders of the Niemen with the rapidity of the eagle. You celebrated at Austerlitz the anniversary of the coronation—you celebrated this year in an appropriate manner, the battle of Marengo, which put a period to the second coalition.
Frenchmen, you have been worthy of yourselves and the. You will return to France covered with laurels, and after having, obtained a glorious peace, which carries with it the guarantee of its duration. It is time that our country should live at rest, secure from the malignant influence of England. My benefits shall prove to you my gratitude, and the full

Annexed is the capitulation of Neisse.
The garrison 6000 strong in infantry and 200 cavalry, defiled on the 16th before prince Jerome. We found in the place 200,000 pounds of powder, and 200 pieces of cannon.
LONDON, July 22.
Preliminaries of peace have not only been signed between Russia and France, but according to the following letter from Rotterdam, dated at eleven o'clock at night, on the 11th, between Prussia and France.—They were signed on the 20th of last month at Tilsit.
A letter from the Banks of the Elbe, states, that after the armistice was agreed upon between the emperors Bonaparte and Alexander, the latter wrote a letter to the king of Sweden, inviting him to become a party to the armistice. A report was current that the English had been banished from Russia.
It is stated in a letter from Delpt, of July 11, that after the preliminaries of peace were signed, 29th June, between Bonaparte and the Emperor Alexander, the two Emperors had a meeting, and mutually embraced each other, rejoicing over this event.
At the first meeting, which took place on the 25th, only the emperor Alexander and Bonaparte were present. A second interview, at which the king of Prussia was present, took place the following day at half past twelve, in a pavilion constructed on a little island in the Niemen. A third interview took place on the 28th, which was followed by a dinner. His Prussian majesty was also present on this occasion.
ROTTERDAM, July 11—night. "We have but time to inform you, that an express from the French headquarters brought the intelligence, that on the 29th of June, the preliminaries of peace were signed between France, Russia and Prussia. The particulars are not yet known."
As soon as the preliminaries were signed, the intelligence was announced to the army and celebrated by discharge of cannon and illuminations. Bonaparte

published a proclamation to his army, in which we understand he declared, that now the peace of the continent was insured, he would lead them back to Paris to receive the rewards they had so well merited. Of the conditions of the treaties of peace we are not yet accurately informed; but the following are said to be amongst the principal ones:
"That Poland shall be possessed as before by Prussia and Russia; That all the Prussian territories are to be restored, except Silesia and Westphalia; that the fortress of Magdeburg shall be garrisoned by the French, until peace between Great Britain and France shall take place; and that all the ports and places on this side of the Elbe shall henceforward be under the dominion and control of France. It is conjectured that Bremen, Embden and the whole of East Friesland, are to be united to Holland; and that Silesia is to be erected into a separate principality."
The above conditions, as our readers will see, apply almost wholly to Prussia. Indeed it is not to be supposed that any cession of territory upon the continent would be demanded from Russia. There are, however, we have no doubt, some stipulations with respect to the Seven Islands and to Turkey. France would stipulate that the war between Turkey and Russia shall cease, and the status ante-bellum be established between the two powers. We are anxious to ascertain whether in the negotiation any mention was made of this country.
OF DENMARK.
A mail from Tonningen arrived this morning. It has not brought later intelligence from Tilsit than we received yesterday—but it has enabled us to contradict the account of Denmark having shut the Sound. On the 2d about 50 ships belonging to the expedition passed the Sound, and sailed by Copenhagen without the least molestation. A part of the expedition went through the Great Belt.—But though no attempt has yet been made to shut the Sound, ministers have reason to believe that Bonaparte will immedately after he has made peace with Russia and Prussia endeavor to make Denmark depart from her system of neutrality and therefore they have resolved to send a strong fleet into the Baltic without loss of time. Denmark may then reply to any demand to depart from our neutrality, that such a measure so powerful a fleet in the Baltic.
The fleet which is to be sent to the Baltic will consist of 35 sail of the line, besides frigates, sloops and brigs, amounting in all to about 40 sail. An order (as we stated yesterday) was sent to Portsmouth, on Wednesday, for all the frigates and brigs to sail from thence, and take flat-bottomed boats.—These frigates and brigs are to go with the fleet, which is to sail immediately. The following we believe, are the officers that will command the fleet: Admiral Gambier, commander in chief—under him, sir Samuel Hood, admiral Essington, sir Home Popham, and commodore Keane.
As the London papers furnish a great many lengthy articles of interest, which we cannot now find room to detail the following abstract is made.
BATTLE OF FRIEDLAND, &c.
The French bulletins do not give the particulars of the battle of Friedland—the following is the account of the French general Koscielski:
"The enemy was compelled to accept battle on the 14th. The columns under the grand duke of Berg, marshal Soult and Davoust had marched towards Konigsberg. At two o'clock in the morning of the 14th. Marshal Lannes attacked the enemy who were at least eight times stronger than his columns. The marshal maintained the battle until four o'clock, when marshal Mortier, with his corps of the 3d Polish regiment came to his assistance: these two corps, which did not exceed 32,000 men, sustained for a whole day the furious attacks of the enemy, whose army was four times stronger than ours, and possessed several local advantages. At noon the emperor arrived upon the field of battle with his guard. At four o'clock all our columns were united, and the emperor took the command in order to put an end to the battle by his manoeuvres. At six o'clock, marshal Ney attacked the enemy's left wing, and in a moment the horizon was quite overcast with smoke and dust. The enemy had but one bridge to effect his retreat over the Alle, and a great quantity of artillery, carriage baggage, &c. went into the Alle, together with a small number of men and horse—between Friedland and Prentzlow, only half a league distant from each other,
several islands appeared to have been formed of the material scattered by the Russians in the flight. In order to cover their retreat, the Russians set fire to that part of Friedland beyond the bridge. At ten at night the battle and the cannonade, which had lasted the whole day ceased, and the cries and the groans of the wounded, were alone heard. Even now, four days after the battle, we have not finished bringing in the enemy's wounded. General Dumbrowski is wounded in the same leg which was hurt before in the battle of Dirschau."
A Russian officer writes thus:
"From Hilsburg we went to Friedland skirmishing all the way continually. There the French annihilated us. This affair is disgraceful to us. In the morning we were victorious. One single fault was the cause of the misfortune that happened to us in the evening and also of our total defeat, that of not having sufficiently fortified ourselves on the left wing. All those who could not get over the bridge was obliged to throw themselves into the Alle. I was taken prisoner. Our left wing was to drive the enemy out of the woods. We kept up a brisk fire all day without being able to effect it, till a regiment of chasseurs ran up to the enemy with a frightful buras and drove them from the wood, but this regiment at length found itself within reach of the fire of a masked battery, which overwhelmed it with bullets, and case shot."
[The Russian officer then relates the manner in which he was made prisoner, and by what means he escaped in passing the river before a picquet of Cossacks.]
"There I found the army in full rout, retiring in disorder to the frontiers of Russia. God knows what will be the result of all this. We wish for peace and we hope we shall not long be without it."
The following letter has been sent from the emperor Bonaparte, to the archbishops and bishops, &c. in Paris.
Letter from the Emperor and King to the Archbishops and Bishops.
MONSIEURS,
The splendid victory obtained by our arms at Friedland, which has confounded the enemies of our people and put the important city of Konigsburg in our power, with the large magazines which it contained, ought to be a new motive with our subjects for thanksgiving. A memorable victory has signalized the anniversary of the battle of Marengo; that day, when still covered with the dust of the field of battle, our first concern was for the re-establishment of peace and order in the church of France. Our will is, that on the receipt of the present you shall take the proper means of assembling our subjects of your respective dioceses in your cathedral and parish churches there to sing a Te Deum, and offer up such other prayers to Heaven as you shall think convenient to order under such circumstances. This letter having no other object, Mr. L'Eveque, I pray God to have you in his safe and holy keeping.
Written in our Imperial camp at Friedland, June 15, 1807. (Signed) NAPOLEON.
BOSTON, Sept. 12.
News from Europe, Highly Important and the Latest.
After our paper went to press last night, we were politely favored, by the hand of David Hinckley, Esquire, with London papers up to the 31st of July, and a Liverpool paper of Aug. 1, 1807, brought by him, in the ship Sally-Ann, captain Glover, who arrived here last evening 32 days from Liverpool.
The Sylvia cutter, from Halifax, arrived at Portsmouth, 25th July, with dispatches, from ad. Berkeley, respecting the affair of the Chesapeake; and which reached London the 26th (or 27th); Their contents were communicated by Mr. Canning to Mr. Munroe; and some friendly notes, it is said, passed between them. There was a general embargo from the 23d to the 31st July, to procure seamen; but the Wasp was released, it is said, at the particular instance of Mr. Munroe, and sailed the 29th, as the papers report, for this country, with provisional arrangements which have been agreed upon between Mr. Munroe and the British government, with a view of preventing a rupture between the two countries: We however, learn, verbally, that some thought she was bound to the Mediterranean. American newspaper and letter accounts have been published: The sensation which the news of the attack on the Chesapeake and the reported feelings of the American public made on the English
nation was great. The manufacturers and merchants, and the Americans, were much alarmed; American credits were stopped; War was supposed by some inevitable; and even privateers were preparing: But Mr. Canning had assured the committee that it would not alter the situation of things between the two countries, and the chancellor of the exchequer, in the House of Commons, said the British government would not fail to make any atonement or reparation, which should appear due on the occasion. The English papers generally condemned Berkeley; and it is said he is to be recalled.
ALTONA, July 22.
The following, says a private letter, you may depend upon it, is the substance of the conditions of the treaties between France and Russia and Prussia;
"Russia will not lose any thing, and no cessions are demanded from Austria."
"There is to be no kingdom in Poland; but Warsaw, and a district round it of 50 or 60 miles, is to be elected into a duchy. Jerome Bonaparte is spoken of as the new duke."
"Prussia is to lose all her territories on this side the Elbe; and Westphalia and Hanover will, it is supposed, be erected into a kingdom, of which Jerome Bonaparte will be king, as well as duke of Poland."
"Dantzic is to be a free Hanse Town."
DRESDEN, July 15.
Prince Jerome is expected here this day from Silesia, and the celebrated royal palace in this place is fitted up for his reception. His royal majesty leaves his capital to-morrow to meet the emperor Napoleon at Budessin. Besides the French emperor, the emperor of Russia, the king of Bavaria, and other princes, are also expected here. According to other accounts the emperor of Russia is gone to Petersburg. Our town will be very brilliant.
[Private Letter.]
The following are said to be the fundamental stipulations of the peace concluded between Russia and France:
1. The boundaries of the Duchy of Warsaw shall be determined as well as 2. That of the territory of the Free Hanse Towns of Dantzic; the latter are to be marked two miles round the Town. 3. The boundaries of the kingdom of Westphalia shall be evacuated. 4. Tilsit shall be evacuated by the French troops on the 30th July and 5. Konigsburg the 25th July. 6. Before the 1st August, East Prussia, as far as the Passarge. 7. Before the 20th, as far as the Vistula. 8. Before the 5th of Sept. as far as the Oder; and, 9. All other royal Prussian dominions, as far as the Oder, as well as Silesia, by the 1st October. 10. The Province of Magdeburgh on the right of Elbe, Passawold, and Prentzlow, shall not be evacuated until the 1st November. 11. With regard to Stettin, the time of its evacuation it shall be determined by the plenipotentiaries; until the evacuation it shall be occupied by 6000 French troops. 12. Spandau, Castrian, all the fortresses in Silesia shall be surrendered to the Prussians on the 1st October.
All other points yet to be arranged shall be settled by the plenipotentiaries to be appointed by both contracting parties, who are to meet at Berlin, on the 25th of July. The revenue of the Prussian dominions is to be for account of his Prussian majesty from the 13th of July, on condition that the contribution demanded be paid to the French.
BANKS OF THE MAINE, July 14. We learn that the French will not leave Germany till a peace shall have been concluded with England.
WARSAW, July 13.
All the persons in the train of the prince of Benevento (M. Talleyrand) have left this city for Dresden, where it is said a congress will be held for the conclusion of a general peace. This report, however, requires confirmation.
LONDON, July 30. An American schooner with dispatches from the U. S. relative to the Chesapeake, is said to have arrived at Portsmouth yesterday.
July 31.
Some of the German papers state, that the emperor of Russia is gone back to Petersburg. The king of Sweden, is
said to have applied for an armistice, and to have expressed a desire to enter into negotiations for peace; but Bonaparte replied that he must have a guarantee, and that guarantee must be the placing Stralsund in his hands. The French are under the walls of Stralsund.
It is reported, that a successor to the honorable admiral Berkeley, will immediately set out to the American station. He, however, is to take with him a formidable augmentation to our naval force on that station.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
July 27.
Mr. Whitbread wished to ask the right honorable the chancellor of the exchequer, a question touching the melancholy account this day received in town, respecting the capture of the American frigate Chesapeake, which excited such general and regretful sensation in the metropolis, whether any accounts had been received by his majesty's government relative to that transaction? Whether it was with the privity or authority of our government at home, and if it was intended to lay before the house any communication upon the subject.
The chancellor of the exchequer answered, "with respect to the question relative to what he too considered a melancholy event, the capture of the American frigate Chesapeake by a British cruiser, he could say as one of his majesty's ministers, that he was not informed of any of the particulars of that transaction, farther than by common rumour. His majesty's government however, would leave no means unexercised to learn the particulars of that lamentable event, and to whom the circumstance was justly imputed; nor shall they hesitate to make any atonement and reparation in their power that on a fair inquiry should appear to be due on the occasion."
LIVERPOOL, Aug. 1, 1807.
The intelligence received this week from the coast of America, has excited a great degree of agitation in all parts of the nation, and especially in the commercial towns. It is certain that no accident could be more perverse or ill-timed. At all events it may tend to bring to a speedy decision the existing dispute on which the two nations are now at issue. The right of search is supposed to be the great stumbling block which caused the rejection of the treaty by Mr. Jefferson, and it is a point on which the two nations are supposed to be equally pertinacious.
Some hopes are now entertained that this affair will not inevitably lead to hostility. If captain Humphrey's proceeding on the positive instructions of our government, we should despair of seeing the dispute amicably accommodated, but it is clear from the expressions of Mr. Perseval in the house of commons that this was not the case.
The following are the speculations of the Paris Argus on the battle of Friedland;
"It is not for us to endeavor to penetrate into the consequences of a day so fertile in political results as that of the battle of Friedland; but whatever may be the ideas of that genius which has doubtless already conceived them, it is no longer in the power of his enemies to prevent them. The ascendancy of the confederacy formed under the auspices of France is henceforward incontestible. Be the determination of the emperor Napoleon what it will, he is able to raise an insurmountable barrier against the projects of Russian ambition. He possesses all the means of effecting the changes necessary for the repose of Europe, and generously to indemnify the sovereigns who sincerely wish to accelerate that happy period. The victory of Friedland is the dénouement of that political tragedy so often renewed against France by England. The British government has irrecoverably lost the blood-stained clue of coalitions."
The most important consequence of this battle is, perhaps, the complete dissipation of that imaginary military glory which rendered the Russians formidable to all nations. The fall of the Hyperborean Colossus will resound to the extremities of the north. It will be heard by the Persians; the Turks will reply to it with shouts of joy and victory; and if it were possible for them to obtain any transient successes in those quarters, they would only expose themselves to an immediate repetition of that dreadful lesson which they have just received from the French.
England is struck with the same blow which falls so heavily upon Russia. All intelligent persons foresee the consequence, and we shall soon have occasion

to recur particularly to this important subject."
American affairs —Our readers will glance with avidity on every article of our foreign department, which relates in any way to the affairs of this country. To the several matters which will be found in that place, we, therefore, add the following from the Sun of July 3d: "A considerable number of merchants, engaged in trade to America, yesterday assembled at the London tavern, for the purpose of entering into a consideration of the probable effects which the late action between his majesty's ship Leopard and the Chesapeake American frigate, may produce upon our intercourse with the United States. Mr. Sansom, the banker, who was called to the chair, informed the company, that he had been favoured with an interview with the secretary of state (Mr. Canning) on the important subject which had occasioned the present meeting, and it was with much pleasure he stated, that the honourable secretary manifested an earnest desire to preserve the most amicable relations between the two countries: but that as no authentic particulars had yet come under the cognizance of government, respecting the late unfortunate transaction, it was impossible to enter into a discussion as to its probable consequences. Mr. Sansom, however, had the satisfaction of adding, that in order to maintain a friendly disposition, Mr. Canning had already had an interview with Mr. Munroe the American minister, at which it was mutually agreed, that if the conduct of either of the commanders should be found censurable, the aggrieved state should receive all proper reparation from the other. This information was highly gratifying to the company, and must of course have the same effect upon the public at large, who may be assured that ministers will neither compromise the honor of their country, nor give any sanction to a wanton attack upon any other state with which we are in amity."
Altona, June 24.
It is reported that the French minister has presented a note to the Danish government, announcing that Bonaparte would consider the conduct of Denmark in allowing a British force to pass the sound, as a declaration of war and would immediately march an army to Holstein and Stetwig.
Latest proceedings in the case of Col. Burr.
RICHMOND, September 3.
The chief justice delivered his opinion as to the proper process of an indictment for a misdemeanor of the kind charged against col. Burr; the result of which was, after examining the laws of congress and reviewing all the precedents, that the regular process was a capias .
Col. Burr proposed a reduction of the sum in which he had before given bail to answer to the misdemeanor. He considered his situation as widely different from what it was when the recognizance was first entered into. The verdict of the jury had produced an important change. Added to this there were other circumstances, which he presumed were well known, [supposed to be an allusion to his being in custody upon civil process] which rendered it more difficult for him to procure bail.
The chief justice said that he had always considered the bail in which col. B. was bound to answer the misdemeanor as very high. To bind a man in six times the sum which he would be bound to pay under a judgment of the court, for the offence with which he was charged, especially in a country where excessive bail cannot be required, always appeared to him to be unreasonably high. He therefore proposed the sum of five thousand dollars as sufficient, under the present circumstances of col. Burr. He also mentioned the civil process which was known to have been served upon him.
Much difficulty and desultory argument ensued with respect to the course which should be pursued. The counsel for the prosecution wished to go on with the motion for a commitment with a view to send col. Burr to the place where the overt act was supposed to have been committed.—This was opposed by the counsel for col. Burr, who contended that the court was bound to have a decision on the indictment for misdemeanor before he could be transferred to a foreign tribunal. The court seemed to express
strong doubts upon this point. At length the chief justice determined that he would proceed upon the trial of the indictment for misdemeanor to-morrow if Col. Burr should be ready.
Col. Burr was declared by the court to be discharged of the indictment for treason.
Gen. Jonathan Dayton appeared in court: and Mr. Wickham observed that if it was the pleasure of the prosecution to proceed upon the indictment for treason found against Gen. Dayton, some steps would be necessary preparatory to a trial.
Mr. Hay said that after the decision of the court upon the doctrine of treason, he did not see the propriety of incurring the expense and trouble of a trial; especially as he did not know of any fact charged against him which would amount to treason under that decision. He therefore thought it the most correct course to enter a nolle prosequi as to that indictment, which was accordingly done.
Mr. Wickham then, as attorney for Gen. Dayton, pleaded not guilty to the indictment for a misdemeanor.
In the course of this day some observations were made with respect to a letter or letters from Gen. Wilkinson to the President of the United States, for the production of which a subpoena duces tecum had been awarded. Mr. Hay observed that one of them could not be found. If it had been sent to him by Mr. Rodney (as the President informed him he had requested), he had not been able to lay his hands upon it after a very minute examination. Another letter required by Col. Burr was in his possession; but there were certain parts of it which had no bearing upon the case; and which were of a confidential nature, which he could not consent should be exhibited to public view. Several propositions were made by the counsel on both sides as to the manner in which the letter should be given in evidence, without exposing those parts which the counsel for the United States deemed confidential; but no definitive arrangements were made.
The court adjourned till to-morrow 12 o'clock.
September 4.
The proceedings of this day commenced with an application on the part of Col. Burr for the production of an original letter from Gen. Wilkinson to the President of the United States, dated the 12th of November 1805, and which letter was in the possession of Mr. Hay, the attorney for the United States.
The President having confided to Mr. Hay the discretion of withholding such parts of the said letter as were of a confidential nature, he refused to exhibit the whole of it in evidence. A writ of subpoena duces tecum was thereupon awarded, returnable immediately, commanding Mr. Hay to produce the letter. His return was in the following words:
Mr. Hay's return to the subpoena duces tecum.
"I hereby acknowledge service of the above subpoena, and herewith return a correct and true copy of the letter mentioned in the same, dated 12th Nov. 1805, excepting such parts thereof as are in my opinion not material for the purpose of justice, or the defence of the accused, or pertinent to the issue now about to be joined: the parts excepted being confidentially communicated to the President, and he having devolved on me the exercise of that discretion which constitutionally belongs to himself.—The accuracy of this opinion I am willing to refer to the judgment of the court, by submitting the original letter to its inspection. I further certify, in order to show more clearly the irrelevancy of the parts excepted, to any defence which can be set up in the present case, that those parts contain a communication of the writer concerning certain persons; about which opinion, or the fact of his having communicated it, the writer, if a witness before the court, could not legally, as I conceive, be interrogated, and about which no evidence could legally be received from other persons.
GEO: HAY.
The counsel of Col. Burr observed that there were two modes of compelling the production of the letter: either an attachment against Mr. Hay, which would be a very unpleasant process, or a motion for a rule "that this production stand and be continued till that letter be deposited with the clerk;" the latter would be resorted to.
This motion produced an animated discussion which was not ended at half an hour past 4 o'clock, when this paper was put to press.
N. B. A few minutes before 5 o'clock, the Chief Justice decided, that, under
the circumstances of this case, it was not in the power of the court to say that the letter should not be produced; that the reasons assigned for withholding it were not sufficient, and that if it were not produced, the court must either take measures to compel a compliance with its process, or continue the cause. With respect to such parts as were deemed confidential, the court would take measures to prevent their being made public, by providing that no copies should be taken, that no use was to be made of the letter except in relation to the trial, that it should not go out of court, and that those persons who take notes of the proceedings were not to consider themselves at liberty to publish any parts of that letter. He concluded by observing that the production of this letter in court might contribute to remove many of those suspicions as to persons said to be alluded to by Gen. Wilkinson, which its suppression would tend to excite.
Adjourned.
LEXINGTON, (Ken.) Aug. 25. Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Fort Massac, to the Editor, dated August 7, 1807.
"A few days since, a person arrived here, and informed the commanding officer of this place, that about ten days ago there were a number of persons murdered, at Wilkinsonville, and their property taken by the Cherokee Indians."
"I lodged at Wilkinsonville on the night of the 5th inst. where I found a large number of Indians of different tribes, all very drunk and troublesome. It appears to me, from every thing I can find out, that the above information is correct. I shall make further inquiry into the business, as I intend to return to Wilkinsonville in three or four days, in order to make some discovery if possible."
MARTINSBURG, September 18.
We hear from Richmond, that Blannerhasset and Israel Smith, have been discharged from the indictments against them for treason, and were admitted to bail on the indictments for misdemeanors.
The trial of Col. Burr for misdemeanor was ordered on, and the calling of a jury commenced on Monday, but was not completed on Tuesday. Meanwhile a messenger was dispatched to Monticello, with the letter from Gen. Wilkinson to the President, dated the 12th of November last, in order that the latter might strike out such parts as he thought improper to make public. The other parts are to be furnished Col. Burr.—The messenger had not returned on Tuesday, the date of our letter.
[Washington Fed.]
Accounts from various quarters tend to show the hostile temper of the Indians on our North Western frontier. They have already committed depredations on the Ohio and in the neighbourhood of Detroit. The people of the latter place have picketed in the town, and erected some block-houses. The frontier settlers are quitting their farms, and flocking together for purposes of defence. Whilst it appears to be generally believed that the Indians are excited to these acts of aggression by the British agents and traders, one account states that the British are equally alarmed with the Americans, that the object of the savages appears to be plunder. They are in considerable force in the neighbourhood of Detroit, dressed and painted in a warlike manner. ibid.
