We liiiVe hud no mails nor arrivals of any kind, from the comiaqnt this morninging. The following communications wcie received yes terday : Several letters reached Altona and Ham burgh on the 14th and Isth, stating that ano ther smart action had been fought between the Prussian genera! 1.-stoq and a corps of bcrira dotte’s army at S/.miui on the Vi ,tula; in which the kilter was deleaver! with the loss of nine piece i ol cannon an<! 1400 prisoners. The Russian head quarters were on the 29tli January at Gilgenburgh -, the left wing of the army extended o the desert of Johannesburg, and the light rested on the town of Biscupycc. Bonaparte had keen at Malwa and Pizisnitz on the third-, but to ibis date, there is not any certain uo olio sos the main bodies of the grand armies having come in contact, al though affairs ofpr i . are reported .to have oc curred daily. The Wuvtzburg Laze'dee, although so im mediately under F:cnch influence, admits that the French have lost 2m,000 me n, in the recent inTairs in Poland and East Prussia. Several Fr< ::ch corps ere collecting on the I’oliza, with the three Polish legions under Zajonzcck, Doiiibrow.sky, and Joseph Ponia tovrsky, were ordered to repair. The main body of the French army is con centrated within the Bishopric of I’locks. The sic!: and wounded French soldiers in Poland, on the 27th January arc stated to have amounted to 53.200 men, in the hospitals at Cucscn alone there were upwards oi 19,00 u men. The lower “districts of Calabria are again in arms ; part of the French troops having been withdrawn, great numbers of those who remain* cd have been surprised and cut to pieces by the natives. Spalairo has been carried by assault,.and the French garrison put to the sword. Prince F.ugenc, the Viceroy of Italy, has in consequence recalled some Italian regiments, which were on, their route to join the French army in Poland, and is employed in forming an army it) the neighborhood of Brescia, to op pose an. expected invasion of the Russians. The want of provisions has compelled part of the French troops in Dalmatia, to retire in” small detachments to Friuli. We do not find in any of the continental prints a confirmation of the report that the Turks had declared war against Russia—it is, on the contrary, stated that the armaments at Constantinople had been discontinued, although it is more than insinuated that this charge arose from a declaration of admiral Louis, that their continuance would he regarded by him as an act of hostility against Great Britain. Prince Gangs:in, who lately arrived at Vi enna, with dispatches from Petersburg!!, was the bearer of a letter, from the Cmpcror Alex ander to the emperor Francis, which is sUtetl to have created great sensation in the Austrian cabinet. The Emperor Alexander, at the same time, addressed letters to the Archdukes Charles and Ferdinand. A courier from the Austrian general Vincent, announcing the fail ure of his mission to Bonaparte, so far as rela ted to Branu i'i, is represented to have power fully seconded the appeals of the Northern .Au tocrat. To these circumstances the move ments of the Austrian troops, at an unusual sea son, is ascribed. Fifty thousand linen weavers, in the moun tains of Silesia, are starving, in consequence of the want of employ ment. The prohibition which the French have ordered against the circulation of Berlin treasury bills, has greatly increased the general embarrassment in Sile sia, Prussia, and Bnmdeitburgh.

We have taken particular pains to ascertain the correctness of the account of colonel Burr’s arrest, which we detailed in our last paper. We have conversed with his escort, and it is with pleasure that wo have discovered the first ac count to be so much more accurate than we could have dared to expect. The following statement is however more complete, more correct; more stisfactiory. lie was arrested on the morning of the 9th of February, instead of the 3d of March. We have obtained a sketch of that part of the country, from the hands of one of the es cort ; from which the eye can at once under stand the relative situation of places, to each other, to the Spanish line, and to toe road lea ding to the Atlantic states. It is certainly im possible by any kind of description in words to lay these particulars before the reader ; but a few remarks may at least elucidate the most interesting points ; particularly if they will ac company these remarks by a reference to Brad ley’s latest edition of his map of the United States. The town of Natchez, in the Mississippi ter ritory, where A. Burr’s boats were deposited, is on the river Mississippi. Aboiai two hundred miles to the east of this river is the Tombigbee liver; which with the Alabama river, conspire to form the Mobile. The Tombigbee is the western ; the Alabama, the eastern branch. F'our miles below the point of confluence, is Fort Stoddart situated on the Mobille ; and about 12 miles above the Spanish; Florida line. A body of water con nects the Tombigbee and Alabama branches at a certain distance above their point of con fluence Slid forms an island ; or as it has been called, a cross cut. A ferry leads over the Tombigbee, into this island ; through this island the road runs to a ferry over the Alabam ; thence the road leads to the east of the Alabama to a certain point; where the road diverges in two directions. The one road leads to the east through the Creek country, over the limits of Georgia, into the Atlantic states. The other sweeps to the south, crosses the Spanish line, and thence ad vances to Pensacola. And here is the principal point in dispute. A. Burr is said to have asserted that his route lay through the Creek country into Georgia : Some people suspect that his route was through the southern road. According to his ow n re puted representation, he intended to remain within the jurisdiction of the United States. According to the suspicions of certain people, it was his intention to seek an asylum in the Spanish possessions. Mr. Perkim is the register of the land-office, in the part of the .Mississippi Territory w hich is to the east of Pearl river. He keeps his of fice at the court-house of the county of Wash ington. His own lodgings are at Fort St. Ste phens,————miles above the court-house. Mr. Perkins was in his office, about 12 or 1 o’clock of the night of the ISth of February, when Aaron Burr and Ashley appeared before him. The scene which ensued between them is not materially dissimilar front the one wlfith was sketched in eur last paper. The reflections which followed it in Mr. Per kin’s mind, were in one respect different from what we had stated. It was not uione as mid night robbers, that these mysterious strangers appeared to his imagination : the idea also oc curred to him, that one of them might be colo nel Burr. This idea was the result of a letter, which had received iiyru a member e! the legislative council at Natchez, stating the es cape tifcolcr.ri Eurr, and the probability that existed ofhis passing through Mr. p’s village* But whether they were robbers or one ot them was colonel Burr, it seemed to him too impor tant a matter to be passed into neglect. He determined to repair to major Hinsen’s house, lie was accompanied by his friend the sheriff of the county. ’] hey reached the major's house about 12 o’clock. The mysterious strangers had arrived before them. Ashley was in the yard. Colonel Burr was in tho kitthen. It k useless to repeat the different parts cf this interview, It is sufficient to say, that eve ry circumstance which occurred, contributed to give new confirmation to Mr. P’s suspicions. The mysterious stranger could he no other than colonel Burr ; and under this impression, which he carefully kept to himself, he deter mined to repair to Fort Stoddert, and obtain the assistance of lieutenant Gains to examine the stranger. Day was breaking before he ar rived at Fort Stoddert. either Mr. P. nor lieutenant Gaines were personally acquainted with colonel Burr. “ Let us examine them however,” said Mr. P. “If neither of them proves to be colonel Burr, and the one I suspect, is a gentleman, he will think himself flattered by being mistaken for colonel Burr. If he is not a gentleman, we will not regard his displeasure.” The resolution was formed, Mr. P. lieutenant Gains, a serjeant and four soldiers left Fort Stoddert. Four miles from major Hinsen’s house they met .colonel Burr and the sheriff of the county. It is use less to expatiate upon the interview, which en sued. It terminated at last by colonel Burrs being conducted to Fort Stoddert, and Mr. Per. kin’s returning to the court-house. ”• “ Request my companion to follow me to tho fortwere the parting words addressed to him by Mr. Burr. On the road to the court house, he met Ashley; who had left major Ilir.sen’s house early in the morning; on what paijicular com mission wc shall not presume even to conjec ture. Our business is at present with./ac/a, und not with comments. Ashley determined Us retrace his steps, and to return with Mr. P. to the court house. It would be diverging into the region of comments, to account for this, variation in his journey: It is still less our pur pose of the county, inviting him to arrest Mr. Ashley; Ashley’s visit to the colonel in com pany with the messenger who bore the letter i the conversation between Ashley and colonel the former’s description of the object of col. Burr’s visit to that country ; their subsequent interview at the court house with Mr. P. ifi© uncertainty which Ashley then affected, res pecting Burr’s designs; and the winding up of the scene, by the final arrest of Ashley.— Mr. Perkins left him in the custody of tho colonel. Mr. P. repaired to fort Stoddert. At that time, it was not his intention to assist in escort ing Mr. B. to the atlantic states. The event which more immediately dictated such a reso lution, was a visit at fort Stoddert from a Span ish officer who was conveyed up the liver by the skiff of one of the armed Spanish vessels, which was lying before the town of Mobille. I his officer’s demeanor was peculiarly per plexing and mysterious. He info n.cd Ll. G. that lie should remain with him until the next day. lie enquired for colonel Burr. He re quested (o sec him. His request however was unavailing: He did not see him ; but he re ceived a card from him, which lieut. Gaines had an opportunity of inspecting. A few min utes after, the officer took his leave and return ed down the river. These circumstances nec essarily produced some speculation respecting the movements of the Spaniards, and it was determined on, to bear colonel Burr as soon as possible to the Atlantic states. As lieut. Gaines could not conveniently spate a sufficient num ber of his own men to form an escort, he re quested Mr. Perkins to ascend the Alabama river, and collect a company. He promised to meet him with his prisoner. Every part of this arrangement was ’ punctually fulfilled; and Burr was regularly delivered into the hands of his escort.
