WASHINGTON, April 8.
The President of the United States
yesterday, left this city on a short visit
to Monticello.
The following extract of a letter received
Jrom Lieut. Gaines , dated Fort Stod
dert, February 22, 1807, furnishes
some interesting circumstances relative
to the arrest oj Col. Burr.
“ Early in the morning of the 19th
of the present month, I was advised by
Major Perkins, that a man, whom he
supposed to be Col. Burr, had passed
through the upper end of th-is settle
ment the preceding evening; where
upon I immediately set out with a Ser
jeant and three privates of my detach
ment ; and after reconnoitering with
Major Perkins about 14 miles up the
country, met with Col. Burr, and es
corted jiirn to this place. My appre
hensions relative to the Spaniards were
strengthened by the arrival of a Span
ish officer, who commands one of the
armed vessels at Mobille, (whose name
I cannot recollect). He dined with me
yesterday, and made request through
his interpreter, to be permitted to see
Co!. Burr, who, he said, he understood
was in the tort. I promised to see the
Colonel, and then give him an answer.
| I went to the Colonel’s room, and in
formed him that the Spanish officer
; wished to see him* He immediately
j shewed me a paper lie had just written,
; in which be requested me to introduce
i him to the SpnniMi officer, adding that
! he was anxious to sent! to his friend
j Morales for a few necessaries. I ob
j served that perhaps it was nothing more
| than idle curiosity that prompted the
Spanish officer to wish to see him, and
I could not, under present circumstanc
es, admit an interview. I returned, and
| informed the Spanish Officer, through
j his interpreter, that, as Col. Burr was a
! citizen of the United States, and incon
i finernent for an offence against the laws
thereof, I could not permit an officer of
n neighboring government to see him,
especially as I presumed they could
have no sort of business with each other.
The officer immediately set out in a small
boat for Mobille. This circumstance,
together with a communication, made
by a Mr. Ashley, who accompanied
Col. Burr to this country to one of our
citizens, lias induced me to adopt a mea
sure, which had before strongly pre
sented itself as indispensible, to send
him direct to the seat of government.
[See Note I.]
“ I regret extremely, that I should
have been compelled to take any mea
sures in relation to the disposal of the
prisoner without instructions from my
superiors ; nor would I have hazarded
this step, but from the fullest belief
that I could not keep him secure at this
place much longer; nor could 1 have
sent him with safety to Natchez, from
whence his associates are no donbt mov
ing towards this place. But in addition
to these causes, I have to combat an
enemy, that might prove more formid
able, and much more unpleasant than
either. I have learnt from a soldier, I
whom I ha v e usually found to be a man '
of truth, that the Colonel had made
overtures to two centinels (who were at
different times on duty at his door) for
his liberation, and had made offers of
cash. My informant, John Brown, a
taylor, had been doing some work for
the colonel, who finding he could speak
French, and after some conversation
with him in that language, and sound
• ing him as he believed, on the subject
of a bribe, enquired whether the two
centinels aforesaid could be depended
on.—Such is my situation, that should
any attempts be made either within or
without the fort to rescue the prisoner
before his departure, the measures
. which I feel bound to take will be of a
. much more serious nature than his re
( moval to Washington.
“ I have committed the prisoner to
, the charge of Major R. Perkins, to
r whose activity and patriotism the pub
. lie are indebted for the seizure of this
; extraordinary man. The major has
5 selected a party of active and respteta
. ble men, [See Ante 2.] to assist him on
t the route, and he will also be accom
i- panied by sergeant Harris and Cyrus
, Jones, who were with me when I took
, the prisoner, and who are amongst the
most confidential men of my detach
ment.”
There was another circumstance,
j which probably operated strongly on
the mind of Lieutenant Gaines, and
which is stated on the authority of ma
jor Perkins. Information was receiv
ed, in conversation with a Spanish of
j. ficer, that col. Burr was generally ex
. pected at the town of Mobille, by the
1 officers there, where also it was report
ed that Morallts then was. This, to-
gether with the immediate departure of
the officer from Fort Sloddert, on find
ing an interview with Mr. Burr unat
tainable, probably led Lieut. Gaines
to believe that a rescue might be at
tempted.
To these circumstances it is proper
to add, that col. Burr was treated dur
ing the journey with the greatest atten
tion and tenderness.—From the begin
ning to the end of it he was supplied
with tea, coffee, wine and brandy, cf
some of which articles he had even a
portion left on his arrival at Richmond ;
and although the party were for two or
three days destitute of a sufficient sup
ply of provisions, Mr. Burr had allot
ted to him the usual quantity. Until
the attempt made by him to get out f
the power of the escort, he was { •'r
mitted to wear his pistols and a large
knife. After this attempt, he was de
prived of the former.
Note 1. The communication here referred
to, we understand to be this: While Ashley
was in the company of the Sheriff, he said
he was well acquainted with the objects col.
Burr had in view, and among; other things
stated, that it was his intention to go into
the Floridas- On subsequent enquiries made
of liirn by others, he professed total ignorance
of the views of col. Burr, and said that he
had accidentally fallen in with him. This
Ashley is a character of some celibrity. He
is reputed to be a man of talents, and posses
ses considerable property, and was with No
land in the Spanish country when he fell.
Note 2 The escort was composed of the
most respectable men in the country, ,some of
them possessed of very considerable property,
and others much distinguished in their dis
tricts.
NEW-YORK, April 6.
By the schooner Amanda, arrived
yesterday from Martinique, wc have
received the following interesting de
cree, which has lately gone into opera
tion throughout the island.
DECREE .
On the 7th March, 1807.
Bearing a modification of some disfiosition
of the Custom-House laws in the
colony during the war.
Louis Thomas Villa ret Joyeuse,
grand cordon of the legion of honor,
vice admiral capt. general, and
Pierre Clement Lansat, member of
the legion of honor, colonial prefect of
Martinique and its dependencies.
Having seen the colonial decrees of
Ist of January and 20th of June, 1803,
relative to the custom-house duties ;
Considering that it is become neces
sary, from the effect of circumstances,
to bring without delay, some modifica
tions which shall continue during the
present war:
Have Decreed ,
Ist. Every foreign vessel coming in
to the ports of this island with a cargo,
and who shall not take one away equal
in value to three fourths of the said car
go, shall pay, on clearing out, nine per
cent, upon the overplus. The remain
ing fourth part will be abandoned to the
concerned, free of duty, and shall be
considered as an indemnity, either for
that part of their importations which
may remain unsold at the time of their
departure, or for the expenses of their
| stay, port charges, charges of sailing,
and all others.
2d. This duty of overplus shall be 12
per cent, if the said vessels leave the
colony in ballast.
Those vessels shall be considered as
sailing in ballast, whose cargoes shall
not amount to, viz:
The filth part of the value of their
imported cargo, when that cargo shall
not be more than 60,000 colonial livers,
or under.
Fifteen thousand colonial livers, when
the imported cargo shall have been
from 60 to 120,000 livers.
Twenty thousand livers, if it has been
from 200 to 300,000.
And lastly, 30,000 livers, if it has ex
ceeded SOO.OOO, whatever may have
been the overplus of the sum.
The value of cargoes subject to the
duty of 12 per cent, shall not be deter
mined but by deducting from the total
amount of the imported cargoes, the re
mitted fourth part granted to vessels by
the preceding article.
3d. The duly per quintal upon sugar

GLASGOW, March 4.
[From cur Correspondent and the Sun
day Papers.']
LONDON, March 1.-
\\ e have had no mail, nor arrivals
of any kind from the Continent this
morning. Ihe following communica
tions were received yesterday :
Several letters reached Altona add
Hamburgh on the 14th and 15th, stat
ing, that another smart action had been
fought between the Prussian General
Lestoq and a corps of Bernadotte’s ar
my at Sztum on the Vistula; in which
the latter was defeated with the loss of
nine pieces of cannon and 1,400 pris
oners. ,
1 he Russian head-quarters were on
the 29th January at Gilgenbtirgh ; the
left wing of the army extended to the
desert of Johannisburg, and the right
resttd on the town of Biscupyce.
Bonapaite had been at Malwa and
Pizisnitz cn the third, but to this date
there is not any certain account of the
main bodies of the grand armies hav
ing come in contact, although affairs
of posts are reported to have occurred
daily.
The Wurtzburg Gazette, although
so immediately under French influence,
admits that the French have lost 20,000
men in the recent affairs in Poland and
East Prussia.
Several French corps were collecting
on the Poiiza, whither the three Polish
legions under Zajonzeck, Dombrow
sky, and Joseph Pcniatovvsky, were or
dered to repair.
Tile main body of the French army
is concentrated within the Bishopric of
Plocks-
The sick and wounded French sol
diers in Poland, on the 27th January,
are stated to have amounted to 53,200
men, in the hospitals at Guesen alone
there were upwards of 19,000 men.
The lower districts of Calabria are
again in arms ; part of the French
troops there having been withdrawn,
great numbers of those who remained
have been surprised and cut to pieces
by the natives.
Spalatro has been carried by assault,
and the French garrison put to the
sword.
Prince Eugene, the Vice roy of Italy,
has in consequence recalled some Ita
lian regiments, which were on their
route to join the French army in Po
land, and is employed in forming an
army in the neighborhood of Brescia,
to oppose an expected invasion of the S
Russians.
The want of provisions has compel
led part of the French troops in Dal
matia, to retire in small detachments
to Friuli.
We do not find in any of the Conti
nental prints a confirmation of the re
port that the Turks had declared War
against Russia— it is, on the contrary,
stated that the armaments at Constan
tinople had been discontinued, although
it is more than insinuated that this
change arose from a declaration of
Admiral Louis, that their continuance
would be regarded by him as an act of
hostility against Great-Britain.
Prince Gangarin, who lately arrived
at Vienna, with dispatches from Pe
tersburgh, was the bearer of a letter,
from the Emperor Alexander to the
Emperor Francis, which is stated to
have created great sensation in the
Austrian cabinet. The emperor Alex
ander, at the same time addressed let
ters to the Archdukes Charlys and Fer-
