The day capt. Jameson sailed, 4 london
paper Of the 9Th Of March was received in
Liverpool, from which his merchant fur
nished him with the follcSying information /:
~" That messenger, Mr. VIck, had ar
rived at the foreign taice from St. Peers
burg, which place he left the 18Th Of Feb.
bringing accounts Of actions fought between
the Russian and French armies from the
Isl TO the 18th If Febyaa,y. TThis is four DAYS
later than TIE French accounts That in
This interval several engagements had taken
place with various success en- each side, but
that the Russians were in the end victorious
The french being defeated, with tie loss
Of 10000 men, II standads OF royal eagles
and great number Of artillery. 1t IS also
added that the French have lost upwards of
100000 men since they entered Poland.
Such Is the intelligence we have received
the week past. We hope, for the tranquil
ity OF the civilized world, that It viii not
prove foreruDner to French success, an
similar accounts have, on former occasions.
10 say the least, on careful comparison Of
all the Information, It is fact, that Bona
parte has not heen able to obtain any adyan-

no one, perhaps, had stronger grounds to

myself, yet believed ambition so much
Predominated over him, that when pla-

nour, respect to himself would insure
his hdelity-his talents were unques-
tionable. i perceived the subject was
dlsagreeable to the President, and to
give 1T the shortest course to the point,
declared my concern, that if MIR. Burr
were not an some way disposed of, we
shouldswithin eighteen months have an
lnsurrection, If net revolution, on the
waters of the Mississippi. The Presi-
dent answered, that he had too much
confidence in the information, the inte-
grlty,'and the attachment to the Union,
OF the citizens of that country, to admit
an apprehension of the kind. lam hap
Ply that events prove this confidence well

Burr to certain members of Congress.

Pect my own apprehensions unseasona-
bic, or at least too deeply admitted; and
OF course L grew Indifferent about the
subject.
Mr.. Burr's visits to me became less
frequent, and his conversation less fa-
mlllar. He appeared tohave abandoned
the idea OF a general revolution, but
