Mercury was boarded by an officer from
the Metampus, who having examined her
papers, requested capt. Davis to accompany

sed with an observation from capt Davis.
(as5ented to by the oficer) that he was nor
more than two miles from the shore, and
OF course within the maritime jurisdiction
of the IT, States.
The officer then went on board his own
ship but Immediately returned and inform.

on board the trigaie, his papers and letter

them. After detention of about one hour
they were restored to him, and he returned
to his own vessel, where he immediately
opened the letter bag, in presence If his
omcer and passengers, and founG that the

WEDNESDAY, June 3.


Mr.. Hay expressed a wish that the
grand jury might BE- brought into court,
as he had determined, after . consulta-
ton with his associates, TO submit pro.
position which he wished them TO hear.
He wished to know from the grand Jury
at what time it would be convenient for
them to attend, in case they should be
adjourned to a distant day in the term. If
the counsel on the other side have any
objection to the proposition, they will
please now TO state IL. From the time
when Cen. Wilkinson must have recei-
we'd an express from he government, (ma.
king a calculations of the distance from
New Orleans to this place,) he cannot rea-
sonably be expected here in less than ten
or twelve days say the l4th of this month.
The distance is not less than 1870 miles.
Now, allowing one day for every thirty
miles, (Which is as much as it can be pre-
sumed Cen. Wilkinson will lravel) and
considering the immense distance, the
badness OF the roads, and the want of ac-
commodallOns on many parts Of those
roads, 1t will require at least foTtY.four or
loriy-hye days to perform the journey.
II, said Mr.. Hay, | we're to consult my
own wishes, It would be that the grand
jury should not again be called in less
than fourteen days from this time. Whe.
