BOSTON, November 11. ! Yesterday Mr. John S. tilery, passenger in the brig Sally-Barker-Windsor, arrived|in town ‘ in a short passage from Bordeaux, and furnish* cd us with F icnch papers to the slh October. The particulars of the fall ol Copenhagen are given in these papers. The trench represent the conditions to have been extremely hard ; and state that the prinpe regent would not ac knowledge the capitulation : but the English had the fleet and citadel in possession ; and no measures to oppose them had been taken the latter end of September. An aid-de-camp of the prince regeut had had an audience of the emperor Napoleon after the surrender. The cannonade of the English was represented as prodigious, and the Danish loss to have been ve ry great. In one sortie, the Danes are repre sented to have lost 1000 men, and the garrison from 7000 had been reduced to less thon 4000 men. Fifteen hundred cf the inhabitants pe rished. General Peyman, though severely wounded, continued to reject all the summons to surrender, until driven to the last extremity. Besides the subburbs, which the Danes set on fire, 305 houses were burnt. The letters from Bordeaux state, that anew decree had been issued by Bonaparte, for the capture of all vessels, (including American) bound cither to or from Great Britain, and il with cargoes, to be condemned as good prizes. ‘Hie following article from Antwerp, Sept. 28, confirms the statements of the letters : —- i ‘ ‘Ve undertand, an order has been given out by the emperor, to capture every vessel bound to or from England, and if with cargoes, are to be considered as good prize. This is a mortal blow to the American commerce ; and we fear will lead to a ruptuie between America and France.” Letters from Paris stated that the bounda ries of Louisiana had been setdedby the French e r per or to the satisfaction of our minister in Paris. It was understood in France, that our affairs with England would be amicably settled. November 14. A gentleman who came passenger in the Sally-Barker-Windsor, informs us, “ That two cases of capture, (American) made since, and under the decree of the 21st November, 1806, were brought before the piize court, at Bor deaux, a short time before he left that city ; but the court had refused to give an opinion, un il fresh instructions should be received from the emperor. These instructions were called for by the court, and a question demanded—wheth er the decree was to be put in full force against the Americans ? His answer was, “ that in effect the latj must operate against them as with all other neutrals We are favored with the following article from a source which may be relied on : “ Answers were given by the emperor, to the council of prizes, on the 23d September last, to the following questions:— Ist. Whether there should be any exceptions to the decree of November 21, 1806, in favor V of such nations, as, by their treaties, were al ii lowed a free trade, or the privilege of neutral v izing enenii?S* property ? Answer, that as the 1 decree contained no exceptions , there should not | be ant/ made in its application. 2d. Whether neutral vessels in ballast should also be made liable to confiscation, upon the plea of capture, or stress of weather, if they had entered a British port? Answer, that it must lay over for further consideration. 3d Whether one half of the confiscated pro perty, should in ail cases be appropriated to ( wards indemnifying sufferers by British spolia tions ? The answer was in the affirmative.” From Russia —Our last accounts from Rus sia (to the middle of September) are by capt. Cleveland, from states, that though he heard some of the condemn the attack on Denmark, a England was not anticipated or talkeiof. The French ambassador at Petersburg Wad succeeded iir procuring an entire change in the Russian min •i istry, favorable to the views of his master Na poleon ; but the people in Russia were dissatis fied with the measures of government, particu larly tfyp taeaty of Tilsit; and that a great num ber of governors of pi ovinces, and other officers had resigned their employments. From the Mediterranean.— Capt. Wil liams arrived at Salem from Leghorn, confirms the account of the capture of that city by the French; of their laying an embargo, which continued until the 16th September, when it ■was taken off. He informs, that lord Paget, the English minister, was ncgociating at Con stantinople, with a prosp l ct of success, being backed by lord Collingwood, with sixteen sail of the line, who hud taken the island of Tene dos, (recently restored to the Turks by Russia) with six or seven sail of the line—that a French army of 60,000 men, which had been on the inarch to Naples, supposed to be ultimately destined against Sicily, had halted—and this halt was attributed, at Leghorn, to appearances unfavorable to the French in other parts of Eu rope. The discontents at Petersburg, it was expected, would produce a change there, in favor of the war party ; and it was confidently ttelieved that England would still be able again to combine both Austria and Russia against France, to which the powerful diversion she had made at Constantinople, would probably contribute. Such was the view of affairs at Leg horn, the Ist of October. CHARLESTON, November 30. The ship Alfred, arrived this morning, sailed fbom the Downs on the 17th October, and fur nishes London papers to the 14th of the same month. The reports by this arrival on American af- fairs, bear a pacific aspect. The British gov* [ eminent, it is positively stated, have recalled admiral Berkley, and sir John Borlase Warren is appointed to the command on the Halifax station. George Rose, jun. esq. is coming out on a special mission to this country ; and was to leave England in a short time. Mr. Monroe had not left London on the 12th October. The lateness of the hour precludes the pos sibility of giving many extracts from our Lon don papers. The only article however of any interest that we notice on a hasty perusal, is the following : London, October 14. from Lisbon, September 28. —“The demands of the French government were as follow: — Four millions of crusades, to be immediately paid in specie—all the ports of Portugal to be shut against British commerce—British sub jects to be imprisoned, and their goods confis cated—the fleet to be surrendered to France, and the garrisons of the kingdom to be protect ed by troops from France and Spain. “ The whole of these demands were imme diately rejected, and the determination made known to the various ambassadors ; those from France and Spain instantly demanded their pass ports, which were granted.” Ail the accounts received from Turkey re present that empire in a complete state of an archy. No vestige of regular government re mains in that unhappy country. The Janissa ries call arbitrarily upon the treasury for sums of money ; they dismiss the ministers, recal the public agents in the provinces, mur der them ; appoint others ; and, in short, have laid aside the new emperor, whose authority has, to all intents and purposes, devolved upon a private of their corps, who calls himself Mustapha Cavac, from the name of the castle near which the revolution broke out. On the 30tli of August last the large and handsome town of Beckswick, in the Bannat ol the Austrian empire, was almost entiicly con sumed by fire. Eight hundred houses were burned, and ten persons lost their lives. ‘Flic loss in buildings, grain, and merchandize, is estimated at six millions ol florins. The fire originated in a barn, in which a child had wan tonly fired oil’ a pistol ; the wadding set lire to the straw, and in less than three quartets of an hour, two thirds of the town was in ashes. We understand that orders have been sent to Torbay, for such vessels as are ready for sea. immediately to proceed to Lisbon. If the Portuguese government seriously resolved to go to the Brazils, the convoy of our fleet must be desirable to them ; at the same time it is extremely adviseable for ns to take care that the Portuguese fleet do not fall into the hands of the French By a vessel arrived at Leith, we have recei ved accounts from the Baltic, of a more re cent date than any which had before come to hand. The following are the particulars : “ Leith, October 6.—The Fancy gun-brig, lieutenant Sinclair, has just arrived from Got tenbmgh. which place she left on the first in stant. Just as she came away, 100 carriages had arrived with the suit and baggage of Louis XVIII. who was to embark next day for Eng land, in a Swedish frigate, together with all the French princes, &c. The Swedish packet, with the mail, which had been sent via Den mark, in order to bting along with it the Da nish letters, had not been allowed to stop, but ordered instantly to depart, or they would fire at her. A war between these two nations is considered inevitable. The English cannot get vessels sufficient to bring away the stores at Copenhagen. “ Admiral Gambier bad applied for 40 Swe dish pilqts to take down the men of war. Rus sia is milch dissatisfied with the treaty. ‘This vessel has be n just 14 days from Leith on her voyage out and home.” Savannah, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5, 1807. A letter from Washington, to a gentleman in this city, received by Thursday’s mail, says —“ Dispatches are received from M ‘ Monroe, dated loth September, stating, that he had pre sented his note on the 7th, upon the affair of the Chesapeake, but had received no answer—nei ther had he, at the date of his letter, received any communication from the British govern ment, written or verbal, from which even a con jecture count lie formed, as to the disposition of that government ‘in relation to any of the points of tlie negociation.” Yesterday,on the opening of the house of rep resentatives, Mr. Lyon said some proceedings had come to his Knowledge which he wished to expose, which iie thought sii mid lie done with ciosed doors ; on which the galleries were im mediately cleared, conformably to a standing rule of the house. Mr. Lyon then submitted the following reso lution : Resolved, That provision ought to be made by law, forbidding a 1 transfers of rights of ac tion, and of all monies and other property, either real or personal, to or by anv subject of the crown of Great-Britain, and also forbidding anv citizen or resident of the United States paying any debt or demand to any such subject. Mr. Lyon, on offering this resolution, observ ed that he had understood that Mr, Erskine the British minister, had recently transferred stock possessed by his father, to a large amount, in the American funds. He said, he considered this as a strong indication of hostility on the part of England towards this country. He express ed the opinion that Britain had, in numerous instances, so infracted the treaty between tue two countries, that it could no langer be considered as obligatory on the United States, who conse quently’ possessed the moral right of declining, on her part, to respect those stipulations, whose observance might be injurious to her. He said, that he thought .t became the United States, in tue present state of affairs, to hold such pledges as she possessed against the acts of injustice which might be committed by Britain, and that by adopting this resolution, she would retain in her hands the means of indca.hity, in case such acts should be committed; and if they should not, no injury could ensue front its adop tion. A universal sentiment was unreservedly ex pressed, that such a step at this tunc was im proper. Not a single member supported the resolution; but all censured its imprudence.—* The general opinion was, that if persisted in by the mover, the doors should be instantly opened, and the resolution rejected in public. Mr. Lyon then withdrew the resolution, and the galleries were opened under the understanding that all secrecy was at an end. The foregoing Contains, we believe, a faithful statement of the substance of the discussion, it such indeed it can be called. More cannot be expected.—National Intelligencer, Nov. 18. Mr. Curtis Bolton, of Savannah,a passenger in the •ship Swift, from Liverpool, came up in a pilot boat last evening from the Hook, and in forms, that he left Liverpool on the 20th Sep tember, that Mr. Monroe had taken his passage in the ship Pocahontas, for Baltimore, but ow ing to slight indisposition (occasioned by a cold) he had determined not to come out in the above ship.—-Yew* York pap, f The American consul at Genoa is said to have been arrested, and seals put upon his pa pers, by order of the French government, with out assigning any reason. Extract of a letter, dated .Aorfolk, November 3, received at Washington. “ Yesterday the long-lalked-of affair of honor, between capt. Gordon and Mr. M’Comuco, was decided on the borders of N. Carolina; for which place they set off about 7 o’clock in the morn ing, and arrived at the destined ground about 12, when they immediately proceeded to busi ness ; standing at the distance of eight paces, and advancing after each fire. Both missed the first fire, then advanced and fired; when both were wounded. Mr. C. slightly—capt. G. it is said, mortally. The ball passed through the fleshy part of C’s. thigh—G. received the ball a little below tlie groin. The ball cannot be extracted.” On Friday, on motion of colonel Ogden, counsel for colonel Burr, and with ihc assent of the attorney general, we understand the su preme court granted an order to c/uash the in dictment in the case of the state against Aaron Burr for the murder of general Hamilton. It appears that the indictment was very material ly defective, and particularly in that it allcdged tlie murder to be committed in this state, whereas the fact was well established that the dealh took place in the state of’ Ncw-York— and that it was the opinion of the bar generally that the indictment, in its present form, could not be sustained. Burr is said to have been in the neighbor hood of this city—at Morrisville—how true the report is we know not.— Trenton True Amer. Charleston, November 30. The United States’ brig Hornet, Dent, esq. commander, anchored in this harbor yes terday jn 42 days from Malaga—she fired a salute on passing Fort Johnson. We learn by this arrival, that neutral ves sels of all descriptions are captured by the bel ligerent powers in the Mediterranean. All • communication with Gibraltar lias been inter dicted oil pain of death. It was reported that the French was about to embark forty thou sand troops, in Russian bottoms, for the inva sion of Sicily, but their success would.be doubt ful, as the British were erecting fortifications, and using every means in their power to op pose them. The Portuguese were in daily expectation of the arrival of the French, and the royal family were making preparation to go to Brazil. When the French troops took possession of Leghorn, in August last, they seized all British and American property, and lodged it in the public magazines, until the claimants can prove it not to be of the manu facture of England. The ex-bashaw of Tripo li re uained at Syracuse in good health. The Hornet, in a gale of wind on the coast, sprung her main-mast, carried away several main shrouds, and received serious, injury in her sails and other rigging. Married, in Effingham county, on Tuesday last, by the reverend Mr. Birgman, Mr. John Christopher S'kckingkr, to Miss Aon eta Rahn, daughter! of Matthew’ Kahn, esquire of that county.
