The grai and jury having retired, colonel Burr observed that ne had a motion to .n .ke, to vv ten it was necessary to attract the attention ot the court. ]he President, in one ol nis messages to Congress du nig us last session, h„d men tioned a letter lioru general \\ ilkiuson to liini soll, dated the 21st ol October, us containing inpoilaii information. llt it letter hail not yet been published ; and circumstances in the run se ol tue proceedings l el.itiv to his case mi ;lit requite it to be produced as evuleno in hi, tuvor.

On this motion of colonel Burr, a desulto ry conversation ensued. Mr. Hay deduc'd that the government was vvihiug to furiiidi all the eu leave which could be obtained from those or horn any other papers in its posses si.in ; that he would consent to write to the President and other public officer- for copies ot the documents desired; and, upon receiv ing, would lay them before the judges, who mi lit determine whether they were propet to be introdui ed as evidence or not. Colonel Burr and his counsel doubted, how ever, whether those papers would be produced, unless compulsory process should lie issued, and insisted also tli it the original and not a c - /*/ of general Wilkinson’s letter was necessary to answer their purpose. The court doubted its power to issue a Subp/r-.a ducts tecum . to command the attendance of the P. evident of the United States ; and said that an argu nen* w is needful to satisfy it upon th it point, which argument, it is expected. vviU take place to morrow (this dav) and no doubt will he mote than usually interes'ing and important.

Vienna, April 2. The ("mm Gazette of y esterday, contained the following- aiticte telative to Turkey ; ** Admiral Duckworth having passed nine days before Constantinople, and the negotiation between bis Britannic majesty’s ambassador Av buthnot and the Poite, having been broken off. the English fleet put to sea suddenly, on the morning of the Ist of March, and directed it •> com e by a northerly breeze towards the Upper Dardanelles, as il wishing to gain the Black Sea, bit. suddenly shifting, made s.il for tiie .via mora. The Turkish fleet, which is returned from the Bosphorus, joined the new ly equipped vessels which were in the arsenal of Topliona, and is gone in purs.it of the I ng hsh squadron, to tlie number of from 15 to 20, under the ordeis of the aptuin Pacha. The crews are almost entirely composed of Janis saries.” 1 his is all the Aulic Gazette has published to this day ; but private letteis giv e later inteiii gence. One ot these, which hasbeen received at a hanking house, is expressed in the follow ing terms : “ The English fleet, intimidated by the for midable preparations of the. Porte, which had oeen dnected by general Sebastiani, ambas sador of Fran e. warmly seconded by the French offi. ers, quitted on the Ist of March its station be lore Constantinople, for the pur pose of returning to the Archipelago It re passed the lower Dardanelles on the 3d of Match ; and appears to be on anew cruize on the coast of Tenedos.” Finenstein, 3d April. \Ye have received official intelligence from Constantinople.

The important events which hive passed within the view of this capital of the Empire of the Crescent, are of a nature to fix the atten tion of all Europe ; their favorable issue, the retreat of the English fleet tinder admiral Duckworth, which has repassed precipitately the strait of the Dardanelles, ought to have, in the present situation of affairs, the greatest in fluence on the military operations which will render the vear which has inst commenced, the most celebrated perhaps of all that ancient or iTuxiera history has made us acquainted with.
