LONDON, November h.
Stralfund is declared in a ttare of fie pe, &
the Dutch army does not appear dipofcd to
remove far from home.
Orders have been tunfmitted to the.cuf
tom-hou'fe at Hull, lor the detention of all
vc fie is loading from Gmbden or Varei; the
Hoop, Baker, lor the latter port, which
failed on Friday, from Hull, had a boat dis
patched alter her, and was brought back.
The Swedes who were on their way to
Stralfund had deemed it necessary to halt;
and finding a junction with the PtwUiaus
impracticable, reared to Ltiheck, from thence
they were to return to Sweden if they could
fecurc a fuf&cient number of vtffels for that
I purpose. The Stfredilh troops did not ex
cecd five thousand.
Letters have this day been received from
Cojarnhagen. From one date the ttt of No
vember, we extract the following palfage :
“ About two hoars ago, I spoke wi,h
the Englilh Cartful, lately ot aettin, who
arrived here this morning, and who reports
pcjiii-yely all is over with Yrujfia, as the
only hope of opposition, to the enemy retted
with Ptmce Hohenlohe, who was Itationed
1 at Magdeburg h, with between fifty and six
ty thoufmd men, weil served protected and
fortified ; which, notwithstanding, were
forced 10 yield on the 27th ulr. when the
Prince was badly wounded and taken pt Ton
er, with mady other dilltnguillied officers.
Where r» all this 10 end I it is laid that the
French are pulhing forward to meet the ap
proaching Prulftans, No Mails this lust
week from that quattcr, or from Berlin.”
Another letter reports, that the King and
Qjecn of Pruliia had taken Happing at Set
tin, intendtng to proceed imntedtauly to
St. Piteffburgh.— The king oi Sweden, is
fa id, h«s alio been at Set tin, from whence
he cfcapcd to his own dominions, by get
ting on board a Imp.
TURKEY, November 15.
Dispatches have been received Irom Mr.
Arbuthnot at Conttantinuplc. They con
tain, wc underhand, the important informa
tion that the Porte, under the influence of
French councils, have been induced to dif
foive us alliance with Rulfia. This renun
ciation of the policy, to the observance of
which iiis that the Porte owes its cxtftencc as
a nation, cannot fail to terminate in a war
between thefc two powers, 1c is' indeed
probable that it has already commenced, for,
according to fume accounts, the Grand Seig
noir, in the fame breath, not only renoun
ced his relations with Ruifia, but for
mally declared war against her. This event
has not been unexpected by the Court of St.
Pererfhurgh. it has vigilantly marked the
ptogreficor the French atcendancy at Conllan
tiooplc, and increased its armies on the
Turkish frontier in proportion to the influ
ence which France obtained in the Divan.
Notwithstanding the extraordinary exertions
which the Emperor Alexander is making,
to pulldown the common enemy of the Con
tinent, he has also an army affcmblcd on
the Continent ot Moldavia; fuflicient at least
to reftraio, if not to overwhelm, the Uao
tnan forces.
Whether the arms of France or Russia pre.
vail, the event is the fame to the Turkish
Empire; and Conftantintfple will probably
change its matter in a few Months.

IN THE MOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
TUESDAY, December 2, 1806.
After the evidence given on the enquiry
into the charges against Benjamin Scbaf
tian, Esq. one of the judges ot the
Kentucky Court of appeals, before a
fpccial committee appointed by the houfc
of Representatives for that purpose, on
the 27th November, 1806.—The com
mittee refolvcd as follows,
"Whereupon your committee does not he

is guilty of having for fcvcral years received
from the Spanish government, a pension
paid in cadi annually, to the amount of two
thousand dollars.
Your committee further report as their
opinion, that vvhilft judge Sebaflian was
in the excrcifc of his office in this date, and
drawing his annual laiary therefrom* he was
employed in carymg on w ith the agents of
the Spanish government an illicit, unjullifia
bie, and highly criminal iritctcourfe, fub
vcrftve of every duty he owed to the con
stituted authorities of out country, and high
ly derogatory to the chaiaifter d Kentucky.
And the fame being read, was unanimoujly
agreed to.
WEDNESDAY", December 2.
Mr. Grundy, moved and laid on the
table the following rcfolutioii, viz.
In Genearal AJJ'embly.
1 Whereas it is confidertd of importance
that citizens living under the fame govern
ment (hould be correfelly informed of the
views and intentions of every person in the
community ; and as the ftntiir.enrs of the
people oi Kentucky may be mifunderffood by
tho.i'c who, from their remote fhualion, have
not an opportunity of judging of the difpo
fuion which the citizens of this date enter
tain towards the general government; and
as an expredion ol the pnolic will through
their representatives is deemed the mod ef
fectual mode to prevent any naifappreheiifion
of our sentiments, which might bcoccafion
cd by the conduct of individuals, or might
grow out of mifreprcfeination,-*-
Resolved, Therefore, by the general
adl.nbly, that the people ol Kentucky fed
the Itrongeft attachment to the federal go
vernment and confider the difmembennent of
the uniorv as the greatest evil which couid
befall them, Sc would view with abhorrence,
any individual or set of individuals who
flu i,ld attempt to feperate us ftoni those
w aote intered* are to intimately connected
v. ;iH our own, and for whom the people of
Js.enttK.ky entertain an unchangeable auadi
| inriit .jiiilng horn a lively iccolktfion of
their united efforts ior libeity.
Resolved, That ike people of Kentucky
have entire confidence in the p/efent admin,
iff ration ot the general government, and have
no doubt that iuch meat tries will be putfued
as are lull calculated to fecurc us peace and
tranquillity, aud su ihe lame time prefervc
cur national honor from infulr.
Resolved, That the governor of this
(late be requetted to tranlnut copies of the
foregoing rofolutions to ihe prcfidetu of the
United beaus, to tltc executives of the dif
ferent (fates; and to ottr prefect fcnatoii aud
representatives in Congiefs.
On the next day the foregoing was adopt
ed unaaimoulty.
CHILLICOTHE, D ECEMBER 2J.
la couftqucntc of Mr. John Smith, (one
of our senators in Congrels) neglecting to
pay that attention to the duties of his office,
which theprefent eventful cults of national
affairs unquestionably demands, our legifla
turchavc pulled a rcfulution, requeuing him
to resign his feat in the feqatc ot the United
Slates.
WASHINGTON CUT, January 9.

December ly.
“ B irr left this place about fire days ago,
and went to Lynch’s. He told me he Ihould
wait to hear as to Wilkinson’s fucccfs; if
hoililities did commence, he Ihould go down
and try and take ail life could get to follow
him, Sc that if hoililities did not commence,
he fli oulu go to the (bathward. 1 believe
there is no tioub: but gen. Adair has gone to
Louisiana, and it is said has gone to Wilkin,
son. There is no doubt but men are enga
ging for the Burr party. I have seen fevc
ral persons who have converted with the men
engaged, viz, —and—* . They
art engaged for fix months at lead ; to have
arms if required, and arc to defeend the ri.
ver, to get ten daitars per month, and one
i hundred or one hundred and fifty acres of

QUEUE. Is the above fhtement, repre
sented to have keen made by Birr, meant by
him as a cover to plans even more hofliic to
ihe peace of the union ?

IVIr. Sebastian put into the hands of
tkofe three gentlemen a letter frem the
Baron de Carondtlet, governor-general Os
Havanna, Louiiiana, See, Sec. dated 16th
July 1795, proposing certain terms to the
people ol the VVeftern country relative to a

Majesty’s fubjefts, highly advantageous to
the former, and requiring a delegation of
their countrj men (efficiently authutifed
might be fern to New Madrid lo treat with .
colonel Gay ola on the (übjtft,
itt. Piopofuion-.** That the people of
the Weftetn country (hould have the free
navigation of the river Mississippi for their
produce, and iuftead of the duty of 6 per
cent, fliouid in future pay only 4 per cent,
whether imported for sale at Ncw.Oilcans,
or exported to a foreign market,
2d. “ Tha| any„ of the Wcflcrn people
who fliouid reside in his majefly's colonies,
ftiould be fccurc in their property, might
hold real eftatc, and on their deaih, fitch
property as they had acquired, (right he
fold, and the proceeds transported (rec from
any duty to any part of the woild.
3d. « That whenever the Wcflcrn peo

4th. “ That no produce or manufadfurc
of any other natioff (hall he sent down the

advantages, the Wcflcrn people (his Majesty
experts) will give a preference in their pur
chases lor their need to the Spanish article*
of commerce, wheihcr foreign or domcftic,
and pcrmiis them to carry the balance away
in dollars.
The treaty between the United State*
and Spain dated *7 th Oftobcr 1795 preven
ted any proceeding being had thereon. But
Mr. Sebastian was rewarded by an annuity
of 2,000 dollars per annum for his trouble
and Cervices.
A letter direfled to Mcffrs, S. N. I.
and M. flgned Thomas Power* and dated
Louisville, 19 July 1797, was delivered
by Mr. Sebafthn, to col. Nicholas and

the Baron dc Corondelet to make to them
certain propositions, the purport of which
are to divide the Wcflcrn peolc from the
union. For their exertions he propofea a
present of one hundred thousand dollars,
that all perfonsholding employments under
