WAR WITH LEXMARK.
Ohf.knoc k. July 17.—-Dispatches have been
ot r. ('aniline’s office Irorn our minister at
Copenhagen, brought to fL rv.i< ii by the Lady
Nepean packet, which was hurried off from
Toiiim-eii with tiie n on the 6‘h.uta moment's
it.itice without being allowedto receive the mail
onboard. By this conveyance, the following
note has been received, dated “ Toiiingcn,
July 6:—l have, hm an instant to say, that the
Li .ties have shut the Sound against the British
expedition ; part of the transport's lie at Helsen
bourg—inheis within the Sound, oil’ Kabo.—
The Danes arc unceasingly employed in the
equipment of their fleet. Several ships were
jigged during the last week, and I near they
will have fifteen s il of the line ready for sea,
before the end oi this month
O'her accounts state, that the Danes have
f.v< n'tv-four sail oi tiie line ready for sea. and
that they have concluded a treaty offensive and
d.o'cnsjve with Bonaparte ; the principal stipu
lation of which is, that they shall employ, on
their part, all the means in their power to pic-
Veni the admission of any British vessel into
the Baltic.
It is by no means unlikely, that the court of
TJenmaik may ba v e adopted this resolution at
the command of Bonaparte, whose late success
must have added weight to the remonstrance
he h s la'ely made on lie subject.
I nmediatcly on the receipt of this intelli
gence, government issued orders, by telegraph,
lor a squadron, under the command of Sir
Samuel I food lying at Portsmouth, to sail for!
the Downs, whence, after being rci forced, it .
will diiubvless proceed up the Sound, to re

yesterday as high as 1 1-2, it left off at 1. Nc’
flag ot truce lias arrived, but there is reason tdi
expect that Bonaparte will make some overt j
tu-es to us. It has always been his policy af- ;
ter any very great victory to profess his dcsiu
to make peace with us. But it is not likelt j
that lie will consent to our negociattmg jointli ]
with Russia—lie wilt have separate negociation :
with every power—with Russia, with Rrussit i

Dispatches were yesterday received from
major-gene.al frase., dated Alexandria, the
Op of May. i Itey contain the details of the
second action with- the lurks, on the lJiliof
A, ill. it appears, that our troops vvete divi
ded into three columns. The advance column
was under tne command of lieutenant-colonel
! Macleod, of the 78.1i. It was attacked by a
I strong body oi l urkisii c ivairy and infantry at
LI II lined; but defended i,self will tne guat
est gallantry for Upwards of three hours, when
it was forced to yield to superiority of numbers.
Part ol the wounded officers are at Cano, the
others in the Turkish camp. We have seen a
letter Irom an officer at Cairo, which states,
iha’ the lurks and the French consul behave
with tiie greatest kindness and attention to
them. No attempt had been made to dispos
sess us of Alexandria, and provisions had be
come more plentiful.
A letter el the 6th of May, from Alexandria,
says, “ We have again opened the cut of the
canal ot Alexandria, to fill the Lake Mureotis,
which was diving up fist ; this will contribute
, to tbe health of the garrison, and prevent the
i enemy’s cavalry crossing over ; and if they go
round by-the desart, and come in to the vvest
wutd, we shall be able to annoy them, and sup
port out lines with gun-boats, which arc fining
tor th..t purpose. Our market is well supplied
w ith sheep, bullocks, wheat, barley, ad rice ;
400 cAiriels came in the other day laden with
wheat and barley.”

A Russian officer writes thus :— <( From
Hcilsberg we went to l'riedland, skirmishing
ail the way continually. There the French an
nihilated u-i. 1 !iis affair is disgraceful to us.
In the rooming we were victorious. One sin
gle lault was the cause of the misfortune that
happened to us it, the evening, and also *ur to
tal defeat, that of not having sufficiently fortifi
ed ourselves on the left wing. All those who
could not get over the bridge were Obliged to
throw themselves into the Allc. I was taken
prisoner Our left wing was to drive the ene
my out of the woods. W e kept up a brisk fire
all day, without being able to effect it till a re
giment ot chasseurs ran uptothc enemy with ,i
i frightlul hottras and drove them from the
woods,but mis regiment at length found itsef
j within reach of the fire of a masked battery,
which overwhelmed it with bullets’ andcaso
shot.
[ The Russian officer then names the manne
in which he was made prisoner, and by what
, means he escaped in passing the river before t
j pickuet of Cossacks.]
“ There 1 found the army in full rout, retir
ing in disorder to the frontiers of Russia. God
knovvswlut will be the result of all this. We
•all wish for peace, anti we hope wc shall not be
long without it.

To-morrow the two emperors of France and
Russia will have an interview. For this purpose,
on a raft in the middle of the Nieman, a pavili
on is erected, whence the two monarchs will
repair from each bank.
Few occasions offer so interesting a specta

The emperor passed this morning in the re*
view of the corps of marshal Lynnes. He
made different promotions, and testified his sa
tisfaction to the Saxon cuirassiers.
No. 85— Tihit, June 26.
YcstdrcHy, at one o’clock, the emperor, ac
companied by the grand duke ol Berg, the
prince of Neufchatel, marshal Bessiers, tne
marshal of the palace Duroc, and the grand es
quire Cauiincourt, went from the bank of the
Niemen into the boat prepared for the purpose,
and vveie conveyed to a large raft in the middle
of the liver, on which general Lariboissure, of
the aitillery of the guard had elected a pavilion,
At ‘he side of this was another raft, prepared
for tlis suites of their majesties. At the same
moment the emperor - Alexander left the right
bank at a boat, with the grand duke Constan
tine, genera! Beningsen, gen. Ouvioff, piince
Labanoff, and his first aid-de-camp, the count
Lewin.
The two boats arrived at the same time. The
two emperors embraced as soon as they had
landed. They then entered the room which
had been prepared, and remained together for
two hours. The conference being ended, the
persons i:i the suite of the two emperors wcie
introduced. The emperor Alexander con
versed in the most familiar manner with the of
ficers which accompanied the emperor;| who,
on his side, conversed for a long time with ths
grand duke Constantine and gen. Bemngsen.
‘The conference being finished, the two empe
rors each embarked in his boat. It is conjec
tured that the conference has had the most sa
tisfactory result. Immediately after, prince
Labanoff repaired to the French head-quarters.
It is agreed that the half of the town of Tilsit
shall be neutralized. They have there marked
out the-lodgings for the emperor of Russia and
his court. The imperial Russian guard will pass
the river and be cantoned in the part which is
destined for them.
The great number of persons from one and
the other army, which have repaired to the
‘ banks of the river lobe witnesses of this scene,
I renders the spectacle so much tfie more inter
esting, as the spectators were the brave men
■ from the extremities of the world.
Tilsit, June 26.
This day, at half past twelve o’clock, his ma
! jesty repaired to the pavilion at the Niemen.
j i he. empeior Alexander and the king of Pi us
j sia arrived there at the same moment. The
three sencieigns remained together in the pa
) lition for half an hour.
j At half past five o’clock, the emperor Alex
! ander passed to the left bank. The emperor
Napoleon received him on his landing from the
boat. They each mourned on horseback, and
j rocle through the great street of the town ;
; where they found ranged, the French imperial
< guard, foot and horse. They descended at the
‘ palace of the emperor Napoleon. The enipe
-4 ror Alexander there dined with the emperor,

TRIAL OF COLONEL BURR.
FEDERAL COURT.
Richmond, Wednesday, September 2, 1807.
The session of the court commenced at 12
o’clock.
j Present the Chief Justice of the United
/ States.
Mr Hay wished to know whether he cor
; rectlv understood the opinion of the court de
‘ livered the day before. He had understood it
J to be that the transaction at Blennerhasset’s
• island did not amount to an overt-act of levy
ing war against the United Slates. It so, lie
should be disposed not to prosecute B enner
basset and Smith on the indictments for trea
son found against them here. After dismissing
those indictments, he should move the court
to commit, for the purpose of sending them to
the state of Kentucky, where overt-acts of trea
son could be proved upon them.
| The Chief Justice. The court did not
mean to give an of inion upon the act at Blenner
hasseds island , but a statement of the lure, to be
applied b t .he jury —yet, as the jury has now
been discharged, I think it proper to give the
j information requested; arid to say, it was the
; opinion of the court, that the transaction at
j Blennerhasset’s island was not such as consti
tuted an overt-act of levying war.
Mr. Hay. As this is the case, I shall enter
a nolle prosequi upon those indictments, and
wish Messrs. Blennerhasset and Smith to be
brought into court, that a motion may be made
against them as well as against colonel Burr.
Colonel Burr observed that the motions
were distinct, and ought not to be combined.
He wished also the place to be specified where
the treason was alledged.
Mr. Hay said he did not think himself
bound to specify the place particularly ; but
would do it as well as he was able. He under
stood, that, at the mouth of Cumberland river,
an overt-act of treason had been committed ;
that Burr, Blennerhasset and Smith, were all
present at that place, where an armed multi
tude was assembled. They moved on to Bay
ou Pierre, certainly not decreasing, but rather
continually increasing, tho’ slowly, in military
appearances, until they reached tf'e last meu*
