in svliicti th ae!u pcpti'i est supreme the ronsiituiion and Lws to the contrary notwith standing. C. ses somewhat analogous,orcven of gr;at c~ strength, mnybr imagined. The executive su£Ntrate, for instance, if there were not un appropriated millions enough in the treasury, would not hesitate on his own responsibility to borrow them ; cr if that could not be done, to oivert from the purposes to which they vere applied by Utw, sufficient sums to meet the. emergency : ami in case all these resources failed, to seize by violence, the property ot in dividuals ; for which lie could not fail to re ceive the thanks of his country. There ‘an be no doubt, thi t, that rases may occur, in which Mokv.icns of the constitution suidlaws wiil not only be venal, hut in which it will be the duty of the executive to commit them. Arduous as the performance of such duties rnav be, it is the duty of an executive, duly sensible of the high functions attached te bis station, icariessh to discharge them. N't ell aware that constitutions and laws, however de liberately frtmu-d, can never be so perfect as to provide for all possible emergencies, he vill not hesitate, if the troed of his country is ,is supreme motive, to discharge such duties, however perilous it mav he to him. the pa triot, who in erchm ry and tranquil times, would not, for any consideration under heaven, step beyond the orbit of power assigned him, will be” the foremost, and the most resolute to take upon himself every responsibility that, in pe riods of danger, his station requires. He will not for a moment believe in the possible injus tice of his country; but even if he should doubt on this score, he will obey the dictates of his conscience at any risque. How far do these principles apply to the re cent transaction at Orleans l This enquiry is reserved for our next paper. (To Jti cos'iiNUxn.J From the Xeiv-York Commercial Advertiser. The information which was given by the Pre sident to a.committee of the senate, relative to the British Treaty, having been incorrectly stat ed, I deem it niv duty to lay before the public, th rough.the medium of your paper, a faithful account of what took place, and which is de rived from a source of unquestionable authority. At 11 o’clock, on Tuesday night the 3d inst. tbs senate- sent two ol its members, Dr. nlitch iil and Hr. Adams, with a committee on the part of the house of in pi, scutate, es, to enquire of the president whether he had any iurlhcr comn unicatjon to lay before them. At this time no copy of the treaty had been received by the executive. Mr. F.rskine, the British minister, had, however, received by the last British packet, v- copy from Ins government, •which arrived at Washington on Tuesday, and had by him been hueded own to the President a few hours before he had been waited on by the joint committee. In answer to the enquiry <;f the joint com mittee, the President replica that he had r.c further communications to by before the two houses ; l,e would inform the gentlemen oi the committee, however, not ojjiciahy, ix;t for tluir private satisfaction, that he had seen a copj of the tieaty —-That it was so exceptionable he should not by it before the senate—that it con tained tio stipulation to protect all person* and properly sailing under the American pan- —and. that an article was added to the treaty, after it •Was signed, which declared —tin if the United States submit led to the blockading c!ect\e,oj iio v?*tzrte> Great Britain reserved to hciself to c ■* teract its effects ; by a full exertion of her belligerent rights, any provision rn tile treaty notwithstanding. In other conversations, ho is to have declared that lie should return the treaty to London immediately for further negotiation. fr this conversation, nothing was said res pectjng.u oj/liia! note from tie British to the Amerid-n commissioner.-i, stating the course Great-Bfiu.in agreed to pursue relative to the impre.ssß&ents of our seanu ■■. end which vas •pet (ceil}'.satisfactory to Messrs.

From the day cf the signing of the treaty, there shall be peace and perfect friend ship between the emperor of the French, king of Italy, and protector of the confedera tion of the Rhine, on the one part, and his se rene clectorial highness the elector of Saxony on the other. 2. His electoria! highness accedes to the treaty of confederation and alliance, concluded at Paris, on the 12th ot July’, in the present year; and by such accession, he accedes to all the nri’.ikgcs and obligations of the alliance, in the same way as if he were a principal con tracting party to the said treats. 2. His electoral highness will assume the title of king, and take his place in the college in the ran!, of kings, according to the order of Ixs introduction. 4. lie. cannot, without the previous con sent ol confederation of the Rhine, in any case or fotWiy cause whatever, allow a passage through the. kingdom of Saxony, to any army or corps, or detachment of troops, appertain ing to a power, not a party to the said confede ration. !>. The laws and ordinances which define the several rteset the various forms of wor ship established .n Germany, having been abolished by the effect of the dissolution of the ancient Gcruiar.ic body, and moreover not being compatible with the principle, upon which the confederation has been formed, the, exercise cf the calhV.ic worship shall, through out the whole kingdom of .Saxony, be fully annihilated to the exercise of the Lutheran form of worship, and the followers of the two religions shall, w ithout restriction, enjoy the same civil and political lights. This object is a particular condition with his majesty the em peror and king. t>. His majesty the emperor of the French undertakes, (hat by the future treaty of peace with Rri ssia, the Cothuffer Crcis, or circle of Cothus, shall be ceded to his majesty the king of Saxony. 7■ His majesty the king of Saxony cedes to such prince as shall be named by his majesty the emperor o r the French, and in that part of 1 lniringi.,, situated between the principalities ov Eichfeldl and liriurt, a territory equal n re venue and population to the circle of Cothus, which territory, serving as a point of union be/ tween the sau’ prince, is in full and entil e sove reignty.

L out at Posen, December 11, 180 b. Di uo; . Gu aei.es, Count Dc Bos.. k LONDON, January IN A cons dei able insurrection, if that epithet can l:v properly applied tc an effort to shake ol’ j rciicht; caiiny, L: s broken out in the Hes- I star !e- r.t-.ry. The inhabitants of that coun [ uy> hivento de|j)eration hy the exactions and I vexatio:.’ to ‘.vlilch they have been subjected p since the French took possession of it, have conic to a resolution worthy of more success than, we iear, v. ill attend their present attempt. About ten thousand men, consisting principal ly ol disbanded Soldiers and some peasants, as sembled lately near Eschcwege, and having nominated an officer of the regiment of Do Vt’armb, captain D’Uslar, their commander, with the rank oi. colonel, proceeded to organ ize themselves as a regular force. Those among them who had served as non-commis sioned officers, were appointed officers ; and they armed themselves in the best manner they could, seizing all the arms, swords, ko. which they could find. A colonel Schmidt, who had entered into the French service, and was at Eschcwegc for the purpose of forming a regiment out of the disbanded Hessian troops, was seized by the insurgents, and compelled to swear, on a Hessian standard, that he would renounce the service of Bonaparte. The in surrection, it is supposed, was not confined to the Ilcssian territory, but to have extended it scif to Saxony and Hanover also. Both the provinces of Mecklenberg, hither to fertile and flourishing, are now literally a wilderness and a desert ! —Not a horse, sheep, cow, or article of stock of any kind, is to be seen 1 Not ‘4 grain of seed corn has been put into the ground ! A gentleman who lately left Rome, declares that the reduction cf .Naples has cost France $5,999 men. Vast numbers cf them have pe rished irom the unwholesome vapcuis of the C’.dahlias ; more, in fact, than have fallen by the swords of the Calabrese. In Naples, scatcc a night passes without several Frenchmen be ing murdered. King Joseph has not for many months ven tured to sleep in the city. Ho has fitted up and fortified the palace of Capo di Monte, whither he retires every evening. Lucicn Bonaparte lives in the neighbour hood ot Rome, in a state of domestic but ele gant retirement. The large fortune which he amassed during his embassies to Spain and Portugal, enables him to do much good in his neighbourhood, lie employs a great number oi persons m making various improvements, which he and his w ife daily inspect. He avoids all political society, and is very generally res pected. Savannah, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL , 1807. The honorable John Milledge, arrived in this city on Tuesday last.
