Frontiers of Turkey, May ?! , On the 23d of last month, tiie J urks attdk- ‘ .he camp ol tiie Servians near Aissn i al though the latter did not expect it, they lull ported the shock with a great deal of rcsolulion and even contrived to repel their ad.eisx.ies to the distance of a league. But the Turks hating received numerous reinforcements re turned to the c urge, and after an engage ment winch lasted 1 11 night, they obtained a complete victory, ‘i he Servians were and. i\|en bark nine miles ; their loss in this battle was 4820 killed. 7235 w Jimded, and 800 prisonqrs, besides ei,,ht cannons, three stands of colurs, J6o muskets, and a gicat quantity of stores. 1 lie i urks had 2130 men killed, 3068 woun ded, and ‘.60 prisoners. On ‘he 25th April, in the evening, a corps ot Servians appeared befthe fortress of Os crunk. where they were discovered by ihe ad vanced posts of the Turks. A part of the gar rison made a sail) during the night and pour ed down suddenly upon the Servians. A gieal number of the latter who had advanced to the first intrenchments, were thrown into the fos ses. Their commander, Muon, having con cerned with the general in chief, continued to fi> i in order to draw on the Turks, who had set oot in pursuit of him. Arrived in another val ley, lie made a stand and waited lor the ene my, who were not long ere they attacked him with impetuosity. Ihe other Servian column then advanc ed unexpectedly and bore down on the Turks, who being far inferior in number, were obliged to make their retreat, after a ve ry warm engagement. They left on the field of bjtttle 420 men. in killed and wounded, and lost besides 700 muskets, pistols and Turkish knives, ihe loss of tlie Servians amount to 170 killed and wounded. WASHING iOIS, August 31. Arrived here on Wednesday last, the United Stales schooner Enterprise, captain Porter, in 35 days from the Mediterranean. Captain Porter left the frigate Constitution and Hornet at Syracuse. He slates the information of a rupture between the Barbary powers and Great-B. itain to be unfounded. Captain Por ter likewise furnishes the following jnieui gence : Some time time in May a deputation was sent by th - bey governing Rosetta, to the cqm mander in chief of the British forces at Alex andria. inviting him to come with his troops and take p issession of the place ; and stating that on his appearing before Rosetta, the keys cl the city should be delivered him. The Bii t:sh com nander, pleased with the proposal, marched next day with three thousand men for Rosetta; and, agreeably to l lie promise of the bey, received the keys, marched into the pub -1 a s.j tare, and was -about aborting quarters to the different officers, and making arrangements lor guards &c. when at that moment, the lops oi the houses were covered with Turkish troops who commenced a heavy fire on them, and til lt*v! great numbers of the British. Ihe British co inlander seeing his men fail in every direc tion about him, without a possibility (from the crowded situation, and from the secure posi tion ol the Burks) of defending themselves, ordered a retreat. They fought their way to the city gates through a tremendous fi.e, hut found theniin possession of the enemy, with whom they had a severe struggle, belt,re they could gain possession ol them—they at length succeeded in getting out, where they found a body of between 4 and 5000 horse ready to at tack them I hey then formed a huiio.v square, flight thaif way down to Alexandria, and of the three thousand men, 1500 were killed, among whom were two general officers. ‘Pile Turks shewed them no quarters, and as they were un able to bring off their wounded, they fell a sacrifice to ‘Turkish’ fury. The bodies of the two general officers were, however, brought off, and sent to Malta to be interred. A 1 uiiulLouis dieduOoul die middle of June at Malta. A.iout the 15th of June a great battle took place in the province ol Constantine, between the forces ot the dev oi Algiers and the bey of Tunis, which was said to terminate in favor of the former ; in consequence of which there was great rejoicings at Algiers. The war be tween the two powers is carried on with groat great vigor ; and the Portuguese squadron for merly stationed at Gibraltar have proceeded off Algiers (as is supposed) o co-operate with the latter. SiJi Solinian Molli Modi was at Gi braltar when we left there, and had purchased military stores which he had sent to > unis. The whoie of the coast of Barbary is declar ed by the Russians to be in a slate of blockade, and a number of small Russian privateers are on that cost. A communication was made in June, by the TTiatquis de Circello, prime minister to his ma jesty the king of Sicily, to Mr. Gibbs, Ameri can consul at Palermo, announcing to him that hi, majesty had declared ever y part of his do minions then in possession of his enemies, in a sate of blockade. His imperial majesty the emperor of Moroc co. had given orders that no vessels of any na tion whatever, coming empty, bringing with them only cash, goods that pay no duty, or ballast, shall be permitted to enter the port Mogadore; but that such vessels shall toe immediately turned away, a., his majesty is de sirous of reaping some benefit from this inter course with Christians. It i, sai l an attempt will be made on Naples by his Sicilian majesty shortly, as there are but few F etich ‘.roups now in that city, and us his party there s-ill remains strong, notwithstand ing the rigid means that have been used by the present government there to reduce their num bers. On the 16th of May, about 40 sail of Sicili an transports suited under eorn-oy from Messi na for Palermo, tor the purpose of tallies m troops. The Bri’ish and Sicilian troops poess a small part of Calabria Ulterior. The rest is occupietWby the French tloops. About the lit st of M y, a regiment compos ed of people from the Levant, raised for the purpose of defending the island ol Malta, de manded their discharge from the British ser vice. in consequence of their having heard that hostilities had commenced between their so vereign, the grand signior, and Grcat-Bii taiii ; and as the governor of Malta did not think proper to grant their request,, they be came vei y disorderly; in conscquep.ee of w hicli | one ol the officers o! the regiment went among them to endeavor, by fair means, to quell the disturbance ; but not succeeding, be resorted to blows. They immediately seized him, hack ed him to pieces with their sabres, tore bis heart, yet palpitating, from his body, and hove it in the stieets. ihe British and Maltese troops ol the island immediately assembled,, but the mutineers having had time to seize their anus, retreated to the castle of St. Elmore, of which they took possession, and renewed the demand for their discharge, and ships to trans port them to the Ottoman empire ; and threat ened, in case ot a lefusal, to fire into the town, which threat they shortly put into execution, as the governor suit remained firm. Ihe different batteries were then turned on the fortress, and the cannnonading and bom barding continued for about 48 hours, without intermission, when ihe beseiged demanded wa ter. and theutened to set fire to the magazine, unless they were furnished with a supply ; tins w .s refused them; m consequence of which a number surrendered, but the most during re- ; niained by the fortress, firmly determined to 1 put their threat into execution. They accord- ‘ j'foly laid a train, to which they set fire, and i in a moment blew the fortress and a number of the besiegers and the besieged into the air.— Six of the mutineers, who were most distant from ihe magazine, made their escape through the line of troops which surrounded St. Elmore, ! and retreated to the interior of the island, where they wandered several days, hunted > fron* haunt to haunt, until exhausted by him- i ger and the numerous wftunds they had iecciv- I ed from the different parties out in search of i them, they were at length taken and shortly < afterwards hung, in presence of the rest of the regiments, who were tuugat to believe that a si milar fate awaked them.

By hr Predder}', James madtson, becretury ‘f Btates. I he papers hy the last mail abound in late and imeres ing intelligence. Arrivals at Bos i ton, New-Yi ‘k and Charleston furnish Paris | and London dates to the 15111 of June. The I most important ariicles they afford are the 01, , ficial account oi the failure ot tfie British expe ■ uiiion against Egypt, and the 77th bulletin of • u ) e French army, confirming Lie fall of Dant • zu: ’ together with the terms on which itsurren ! ficieil—all of which are give., in this afternoon's . paper. Ihe French Russian armies had j, “Ot yet had an engagement. It was expected s to take place, when the last accounts left the 1 armies, between the 10th and ism June, unless ] put a slop to by a peace ; of which, although a < congress was about to be assembled at Prague for the purpose, lilile hope was entertained. In a conversation which happened at Berlin the 2a.1 of May, between the French emperor and Vi. Nchleniiz, preskient of the chamber of Mai'ienwerder, Bonaparte is said to have de clared, that “ Piusaia having consented to sub mit to the domination oi’ Hi ssia, ihe conclud ing’ of u jieace became consequently very difficult, because Russia, ins’cud ot aiding j i' lance, to bring Li,giant within due bounds, j ami by llial incalis to release Lurope and ibe | whole universe lrom its maritime u ramiy, had ] pu herself under the yoke of the English; j that the king ol Pi ussia had only two modes J icii ot I'etUnuag to Berlin, to wit, either to be { conducted I,'.ere by the em/ieror Aufiolton, at the | head of his body gourd, 01 hy the Russian* ; that this last mode was certainly practicable, in the | event ol the French losing a battle on the other I srie of me \ isiula ; and tin cu between ihe Vis- S tula and Hie Ouer; aim iluee more between j the Oder and the Elbe ; and thus coming near er their own country without being able to le } ceiic any reinforcements; that it concerned ‘j every good Prussian patriot to calculate what ‘1 >voiiid cust liio country ii ttic llubbi nu> made like progress, and that if this principle “ that people exist for l ings, and that kings exist only , iu their people,’ could pi evuil ill the cabinet of j Konigsberg.” | The armies are represented by their friends ito be equally anxious for age ne ral battle. Both sides agree that the Frem h have the advantage in point ot siiuation .mil numbcis. I'lie French army, witii t ie.eiul ci ne.ils expected, would consist ol 180 or U’O,JoO men—that of the Russ.arts of 140 0 0. Ine Russians on the frontiers of Turkey have been beaten By Hie lin ks in several bat tles. in one of widen, near Ismael, the Rus sians are slated to nave lo:>i 1,100 kitted, (some accounts say IttOoj and 900 prisoners, among whom were two gencruis, wuli a great part of their baggage and artillery. i lie Russians were retreating towards Bender, anil the Turks pursuing them. 1 his iinor.nation is said to have been contained in a letter dated Sizlow, .'•lay 6, to the ire..ell minister for foreign affairs. The loss of the Turks is not men tioned. Ihe Turks have been equally successful in repulsing the bei vians. I hey had an obsti nate engagement on the 22d of April, in the neighborhood of Nissa. The Servians were driven hick nine miles, with the loss of 4820 killed, 7135 wounded, and 800 prisoners, be sides eight cannon, three stands ot colours, 160 muskets and a great quantity of stores. The Turkish loss is slated at 2480 kihcd, 3068 wounded and ICO piisoners. 1 hese successes of the Turks will appear more probable when it is known, that all the 1 urkish commanders have French officers wiih them, and that a French military agent resides m every fortress. An Augsburg article of May 21, oh the au thority of letters fom Leghorn, states that ihe I onion fleet was then cruising in the Mediter -1 aneau, and was expected to sail soon for the Adriatic gulph, to drive the English and ltus -lairt from ther.ee, and raise liid blockade of \ enice. The Spanish squadron at Garthagena had likewise set sail for the purpose, ’twas said, of co-operating with the Toulon fleet. A London account of June 4, mentions, that ’he government had received advices of the Brest fleet having gone to sea, and eluded the vigiimce of their uuiacis ou that station whil ,t the greater part of the channel fleet had put into Torbay. A report was current in London on the Ifth nf Tune, that ill confeipiei it of a milundcrftatiding httwien Bo napai :e and his brother i .ouis, the latter had abdicated the crown ol Holland, and that the functions oi govern ment were provUioi,ally exercised hy fix councillors U e think tfie report entitled to little credit.—Txmits.

Mr. Ilav lien informed the court, that he had nothing to jubmit this day, but thought it was proper thejury should be called over but not lnipannellid—they were called, and (with the exception of two) found to be attending. Some debate took place between Mr. Hy and colonel Burr, at the olose of which, BIIIP observed. tmi\ he should move for a Subfnena lluces Tccum\ o the president of the United States, requiring him to attend will, certain papers ; and that he should furnish the clerk with the necessaty specification of the papers required.
