Admiral Berkely, dated Halifax, July,
10 the British consul here. 1t appears We
ry clear by this, that the affair of your
capes cannot and will not be traCedto high
ey authority than the dfmiral He writes
this letter, he says in consequence of the
many mistatements he had seen in ourp pa
pers. He SAYS the men demanded were
deserters, openly enlisted at Norfolk, by
the lieutenant Of the Chesapeake knowing
them to be such, who paraded Norfolk Wi tn
them, after being demanded by an English
officer; when they publickly enlisted. He
adds that these same men were demanded
by the English consul at Norfolk, and a
gain by the English minister without eff
feet. So much for BerkeIy's story, who
must begin tn feel little alarmed, or he
would scarcely have taken the trouble to
give any explanation"

one of the counsel for Aaron Burr
Mr.. HQy mentioned that the counsel for

" tn list of their witnesses, which was adj
mitted not TO be accurate as TO the places of
abode of some of them, aud did not contain
the names Of them all but 1t had been
agreed that the names of additional Wit
nesses might be furnished at any time before
the trial. In pursuance to this agreement, lac
had delivered to Mr.. Bot s, on Saturday last;
the names Of four witnesses, who had c-ne
TO his knowledge since the first list was
furnished Mr.. Bolts, however, had object
ed that the list was furnished too late;
He wished the court therefore 20 deter

yet sworn) the trial could be considered
as having actually commenced, and whe-
Their the list presented by him on Satur-
day was not offered previously to the trial

The following paragraphs appeared IN
the London Times on the ed, and Esd June
What produced these approximations of
war? What induced the merchants to as
sumo so much prudence They could have
heard no news of an hostile character from
this Countrywide paragraphs appeared at
the very time the Chesapeake was attack
ed--may we not attribute them to advice
from the ministry that they would agree
to no treaty acknowledging our rights, and
that they would pursue the existing system
Of outrage and impressment The caution
ofthe merchants Of London, will VIC hope,
prove to our own merchants the necessity
Of n voluntary embargo on their part.
I" In consequence Of the apprehension Of
hostilities with the United States, Several
American vessels are now detained by the
owners 81 the cargoes. On Saturday an
order was sent to the custom house, requir-
ing All Immediate return of the amount of
the exports and imports relating to Ame-

awe have been credibly Informed, that
a clause in the treaty now pending between
this country and America actually stipu-
lates, that English agents shall be station
ed in the American ports, to see and grant
certificates, that all colonial produce, bound
for Europe, has been unshipped and rela-
den in such ports. We are afraid that a
clause, so favorable 70 the British shipping
interest, can never he rendered palatable
10 the Americans"
