The movements in this direction would be ‘ under any circumstances ud'.antus>eous —it the place were taken, the Russians would have their Jett turned, and their rear endangered. Their magazines would be either destroyed or captured ; and by the occupation oi the aie liiel and Neimen rivers, the supplies fiom the interior would be intercepted, and the Russians be hemmed up in the arid and sandy country ; of S-maland, and they would have no choice of j making a future stand but by an abandonment 1 of Koningsberg, and a hasty retreat intoSamo- j gitia or perhaps to Courland. If the Russians on the other hand, should de termine to suppoi and cover Grodno ; the left wing under Rernudotte, was within two day’s inarch of that place ; and the issue of an attack is not difficult to foresee. We lay much stress on the character of the general who commands the French right.— ilia name is very familiar to the Russian ear ever since their campaign in Swisserland. The circumsti cos of the army and their movements very much strengthen those con jectures, which we threw out under the title of a project for the ca-n/iuigii a levy weeks ago. We consider it as improbable that any ac tion, other than a mere beating up of quarters, which is generally performed for purposes of discipline rather than to make an impiessiun, can have taken place, at any period before tiie 2 >th of April; a few days after or before ; un less Massena might with Ins cav. !ry and horse artillery have attempted Grodno, uy a 10 t/i tie vuiin —a matter by no means improbable ; but we speak of the. grand army. i NORFOLK, May 21. The following case of suicide, which happen ed on board the packet schooner Huldah and Ann, from New-York to this port, was handed ; to us by tne subscriber : t: A young man who came on board at New- York to work his passage, was observed by tie rac e to have talked incoherently on .Sunday ni; lit, and next day at noon, he came on deck apparently much disordered in intellect, took oil’ his hat and threw it overboard ; on which, captain Fitzhugh and his passengers thought fit to confine him, lest he should jump over board, which was sccordiogly done in the fore castle, after taking the precaution of searching him for a knife, or any thing else with which he might destroy himself, and removing every thing oi the kind in the fore-castle. As soon as he was settled below, I went down to exam ine him. 1 found him talking and looking wild ly. requesting me, it I was a doctor, to dress his back, and to observe how the} had lacerat ed it, that they had given him ten dozen lashes &c. Thinking that he might have received some corporeal punishment, which made this fatal impt ession upon his mind, 1 looked at his back, and could not perceive the smallest trace of a lash ever having been inflicted upon him; his pulse was ninety, tongue and skin natural, the pupils of the eyes much dilated, accompani ed with a vacant stare. I gave him 120 drops of tincture of opium in a iitbe weak toddy, with an intention of repeat ing the dose, if necessary, when the effect of the first should have ceased ; but it appeared to have no effect whatever, and at 3 o’clock he forced his way on deck, and with much dif ficulty was prevented from jumping overboard; he was fore ed down again, and in less than an hour afterwards the mate came and told me that he had cut his throat; upon which I ran up from the cabin to the fore-scuttle, where I saw him standing, all bloody, with a razor in his hand, and in a menacing posture to prevent any c,,e going down—he then cut into his ab domen, and across the flexore of the left arm, still holding the razor in his hand to prevent ar.y one going down, which the smallness of the scuttle rendered it impossible to do, with out being cut by him. ihe loss ol blood was now so great that he staggered and dropped the razor, on which he was laid hold of and brought on deck, when he expired. On exa mination, it was found that the razor with which he committed the horrid deed, was one of a case contained in a hair trunk belonging to him, which escaped notice, and which he bioke open, having, it is supposed, lost the key. It appeared, by the razor in the case being bloody, that he had attempted his pur pose with that also. II is name appears, from papers found, to be Patrick Kennedy, late a steward of one of the gun-boats. M. Ch adwick, surgeon, late of Grenada.

I'rom the Columbian Gazet'e. Since the meaning of the extract fiom the letter of Gaylord Griswold is doubted by some persons, and since his oath possibly may mis lead others, in their conceptions of the same. I will add the two paragraphs which precede the extract—they arc as follow : “ You do me great honor in compliments...your j caution again ft young memb rs {peaking too much is J fure’.y juft,hut not appiicab eto me. I have been veiy silent as von no doubt twiy have Seen noted by the Utica democratic paper; in that paper great inquiry was made, 1 was presumed loft, by not appearing in the paper in the debates. “ The federal party take very Tittle part in the de bates. We leave them to manage their afi.iirs in their own way, and you may depend upon it they manage bad enough ; all want the honor of lpeaking and go verning ; they quarrel, fco and and almott fight; no hing prevents their fighting but want of courage. “ The movements of liurr and fturb the quiet of their fouls...he will ftiake the very centre of their conc ave.

GRISWOLD.” j The affidavit oi Mr. Griswold upon the sub j ject ol’ the above extract is as follows : 1“ Herkimer County ss. “ Gaylord Grisvvo'd of the town and county of Her kimer, being du!y sworn on the holy evangeiifts of i Almighty God, depofeth and sairh,that he never had any knowledge whatioe v er of any piot or p.ots, combi 's nation or combinations, between the federalifts of this f state or any othei state in the union, and Aaron . Burr,hoitile to the conftiti.tion or government ol the . Un te States, or this Itate. Neither does he know or t has he at any time known of any combination or ar- I' ’ rangumenc between the federaiifts and laid Burr, lor any purpose whatsoever. , “Gaylord griswold.” Sworn the 25tli day of April, 1807, before me Water Frih, justice of the peace. Hei e, fellow citizens, you have fully in view two productions oi Gaylord Griswoiu—judge i 3 of their consistency and inconsistency—read • :] the letter and then read the oath, li Gay lord 1 J Griswold was vile enough, while he was the , ? repiessutative of a free people, to write such a . j letter, whcthei the contents of it were true oi? false- he certainly would be vile enough to i swear to the contents of his affidavit! Then . i let the world judge whether his affidavit helps : him, yea or nay. .et the world the judge between him and me—whether he was most guilty in writing the letter, or I in publishing . the same ? As to the letter I wrote to him, it was in an swer to one he had first written to me ; which, however, was iiltie more than a cover to Ins maiden speech in congress. I then consider ed it, on his part, as fishing for a compliment'; ! civility demanded that I should return the compliment, which I did accordingly, as in my letter which lie has published. i was then a federalist, and can say as Raul said, “ 1 was j zealous towards God as ye are all this day, I | persecuted this way,” &c until the receipt of j this letter —l then halted — it contained, to my ! understanding, plots, too gross to be couute- nanced. 1 frankly acknowledge, from having read for | the most part federal newspapers, I had enter j ttiincd very unfavorable sentiments towards governor Clinton, and also towards judge Spen cer. But upon a close investigation into the charges brought by the federalists against those two gentlemen, I found them to be without foundation and totally false. I now have an ex . | alted, a reverential opinion of governor Clinton, j and view him justly enti led to the high station jhe now fills. Judge Spencer is, not only in | my opinion, but in the opinion of every man | who speaks of him, a most able judge ; he ac . . quits himself with honor equal to any judge who has graced tiie bench of our supreme court—he not only merits my esteem but has it in a superla’ive degree, j As to Mr. lord’s affidavit, I wholly deny the 4 truth of it: and I will venture to affirm that . ; there is not the solitary instance of another man in the world, who will s; y that I ever ad . , vocated the election ol Burr. My nearest neighbours and acquaintance bear me witness, i that I never advocated his election ; i( ever I mentioned such a thing it lias totally escaped ;my recollection. By Mr. Ford’s affidavit, it t would appear I had been the first projector of ■ the whole plot! ! This is swearing too much, j No man will believe that this combination ori . ginated with me. ‘I o plot a scheme like this, requires the cunning of a Burr ; and to propa gate and prosecute it, requires the depravity of a Griswold.

The schooner Victory, of New-York, left this port a few days ago, with a cargo of cotton, for New-Orleans, 1 the duties on which, at the Mobille, amounted to 1. 140 dollars. The sloop Castor, laden with stores for the troops at this place, and goods for the Choctaw factory, has been detained since the middle of last month, under the pre text that some of the papers are wanting to ena ble them to.pay the duties.” In arlditi n to the foregoing, a detachment of United States troops, under major Sparks, 5 which had been ordered to Fort Stoddert by gen.
