person that’ he would confer the highest ob'i?a tion on the government by seizing colonel Burr ? A. It is [nobub.e tiui i uicl, for those were my sc l.timer.ts. My great object was to •apureliencl him, and deliver him over to that ci vil power for trial ; and the city of Washing ton was the place to which 1 wished him suit. But I had no idea of doing an injury to his per son. I rec iiiect a German came to me and proffered to take colonel Burr ; but on coming to particulars, he said he would take him dead or alive. 1 as shocked at the idea, and declin ed employing him. Q.

I cannot recollect. 1 have seen a deposition ascribed to him, inserted in the pub lic prints replete with falsehoods. Q. You are not certain then whether you ever wrote to him on the subject ? A. lam ceitain that I never wrote to him specifically on that subject. He was an officer of the militia and I might have corresponded with him on some matters relat ing to his command. I recollect to have re ceived an order from the government to ascer tain the strength of the militia in tht territory, and 1 might lime spoken or written to him on that subject. Q. C. a you sav whether you did or did not? A. I cannot. Q Did you inform him of the object oflieut. Pike’s expedition? A- I think not, from the deposition I have seen. Here are my orders to lieut.

R L MARKS ON THE RETORT OF A COMMITTEE OF THE BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS ON THE WEST IN 1)1 A COI.OKIES. From the New York Public Advertiser. This is a doleful report. It is a companion piece to tiv.. king’s dying speech. It states the British Wes: India trade not to be worth car rying on, and me projects it proposes as reme dies are inadequate ‘o the purpose. When Bonaparte sees this report he will find that he struck the right nail on the head by shutting England out From tiie commerce and market of tne continent of Europe. The report states that the expence to the West India planter ot raising ov.e hundred pounds of sugar, and sending it to the London market, is from 35 to 36 shillings, and that the price of it has fallen from 69 shillings to 335. 6d. which is the average price for the last eight months ; about the length of time the blockad ing decree of Bonaparte has been in force. This fall in the price of sugar in England is occasioned by the loss of the market o i the con tinent of Europe ; in consequence of ■ inch, the Englis-t market has become so guilt ’ i that the plan et s are obliged to sell their sugar at the price it cost them to get their money back again. The report says, that formerly’ the British merchants enjoyed nearly a monopoly ol the Eu opean market, but that at present they can no.', enter into a cuv.-petition neither with the p ante os of die neutral nor hostile colonies. It alb.i s.ys that in the last year, 1806, there was imported into Amsterdam alone in 2! 1 vessels belonging to he United States, 33,085 hhds.of c be and 45,097 hhds. sugar. due report after thus stating the wretched con,:;.ion of the West India trade, prays pur lin i nit to apply such measures as “ shall com / 7/ ■ Ruropeun continent to have recourse to the ly source jf supply (meaning themselves) which would then be open to it.” What a set o: . 1 One of the measures it proposes is, t.. .i French colonies shall he restricted as Jar is n <iple, from exporting West India firoduce J , he place (fit g"js.vh ! They may just as we’.’ uray to parliament to pass an act to take a‘i •/ranee anti garrison it with Jo on Bulls. But tli • case is, tile English government is mad, and the l etchedness of the people has made them s;u ;bk Why do they not make a revolution as the Ar'ish colonies, now United Ststes, did, a 1 s tve the uselves from ruin ? Why do they not send away their Hanoverian king ? Nassau, October 7. The Bri'i.sh schooner John.

The president of Barbadoes says, in his speech at t.ie late opening of the assembly of that island, that thev must submit to their diffi c: res with fortitude and resignation ; and cer tainly it requires a vast deal of the real meek p, ,sos Christianity to submit to ruin with tran qu'lit v I —What would the landed men in Eng gLnd sav. or those great ornaments of the Bri tish nation, who a e giving a thousand guineas for a colt, and five of them for a dish of early p 6 vs. if their rents were so taxed as to annihi late their incomes, and to reduce them to the recessitv of increasing their debts to live ?

They report that the nations they visited declared in their solemn meetings, that if their white brethren arc going to war, tlie r red brethren are determined to interfere in no way ; but to sit still and mind their own con cerns. The prophet, whose talk was published some time since, and which was read to him, declared the whole to be false and unfounded, and seemed to resent it as a slander. —City Guz. Nearly one hundred sail of Danish vessels are said to tie detained in the port of Plymouth, in England. Their property is estimated at about eight hundred thousand pounds 1 The king of Prussia has issued two remark able proclamations. By the first he releases from the oath of fidelity the inhabitants of the ceded provinces. This proclamation concludes in the following terms ;—“ Be to your new so vereign as faithful as you have been to me. Nei ther time nor circumstances can efface from n.y ! cart, and that of my family, the remem brance of your fidelity /” I he second proclamation respects the Polish provinces, resigned in virtue of the treaty of Tilsit. The king declares, that “being oblig ed to surrender all soldiers born in those pro vinces, he returns them his th inks, and author ises them to quit their colours.” Passengers in the ship Eliza, Smith, arrived at New York,from Bordeaux :—Misses M. 11. and M.

We beiieve the entries at the custom-houses v ill support this assertion. The throwing such a vast quantity of their manufactures into the United States, must render the British mercantile interest doubly anxious to preserve peace with this coun try, lest a general confiscation, by way of i Itali an on for British dept edutions, mould wrest their property from them. One thing is positively proved by the large autumnal importations ot British goods this year, which is, that the Ame rican flag covers more British property than it docs of any other nation.
