NEWBURYPORT, Sept. J3. Some particulars o‘ he action be tween the Piedmont also, (reilcn . frigate, and the honorable Knit India Com pa mp3 ship Warren Hcixtings, on the 21 st of June, lSOii/ai. 20, 13, S. long. 50, 45, E. The Warren Hading* was a company’s ship of 1200 tons 56 gurfs, and 135 men, bound frortyUhina home, command, ed by Thomas Larkins, Esq. laden with teas, &c. cargo worth fiioo, ooo, had left her convoy a few days previous. On the 21 0, at 7a. m. saw a Ilrange fail in the S. W. quar ter, on the larboard tack, with an English ensign and pendant flying, made the private fignsi which was not anlwered, con cluded her an enemy, prepar ed for adiion. At noon the purffcr perceived the french coJoiits, therefore we no longer remained in doubt; at ten mi nutes pall, noon flic bred a gun and hoiffed the French Na tional colours, bere up dole tinder the AV. H s Cern, came along ftde within puflol shot, pouted in a broadlide, whit b was returned by the W. 11. After exchanging (evetal broadsides, the frigate Idled St shot ahead, which gave the {hip an opportunity to repair da mages, which were very con siderable, the foremaH having received a wound, the lee • shrouds, bowlines, braces, &c. shot away. At the fuff broad fidctl e VV. Id’s, ensign halyards were (hot away, and the purl er and one man in bending them again were shot dead. The frigate again tacked, came along fide, engaging the (hip -to leeward, and alter being warmly received lor 25 mi nutes, again left the W. IJ. and t — r, * -tr. ■ *** lit 1 a frqln opportunity to repair ca rnages. The maitunaft was wounded and rigging fuffered much, but Mmanlruit in this rencounter. Fhe fiigate came along fide the third time, as neat as two (hips could ap proach, and the attion was now very delperaic on both (ides, several of the W. H’s men were wounded and fore man shot. She however fire - cceded in beating them off a third time, when after diffan c ng the ihip aftcut a mile, the frigate wore and came along fide as close as before. The action was renewed extremely warm on both fdes for about 3c minutes, when the fiigate again left tire ship which was very mtic'h disabled ii: the rig, pieg, and maintnaft badiv wounded; i -ardly had they time to stopper the rigging and reeve Ircfli braces, when the f 1 igate ag,.;:n bore down, and tin \\ . if. r,o.w gave her ihe fit ft giift, vlbe 11 the adlipti be c.’me very warm, with much in Is on tie part of the ship. ’i it* u.-ufketry in the tops of the f-igare doing great execu tion 3 of Tc W.

They took poftefticr.i of their piize and towed her into {}rand Port I fie of France. The fr igate appeared to be the French frigate Pifdjmon taife, C-apt. LT port, carrying 44 guns, and 385 men. The'crew of the W. H. were thrown into prison, and the officers fuffered to return home on parole. They arriv ed heie in the snip America, captain Stone, from Me of France and will foert embark lor England. FROM THE AURORA. We are about to extract the materia! pari fort the article in the Richmond Enquirer, respec ing col. Burr, to with we yester day alluded. As for its import, We thick it of no more conse quence tliar> any of the thousand rumours which preceded it, and which it: fleets to ridicule. Ihe whole is founded on an ailedged fact, that bears its own absurdi ty with it; if Bastrop failed in performing his engagements to Spain, his title is not worth abau ble under the United States ; and we must suppose the character of Burr to be the reverse of what it i?, before we can lor an instant ciedit the tale, that he is going to make an agricultural settlement in the woods of Louisiana with out authority,.or grant. It is a well known fact that provisions to the amouut of 40,000 dollars were contracted for by Burr, to be furnished in October last—it is a9 well known that he has for above twelve months been dieting emolu ment to such as would embark u el— na turu of m h‘ch he refused to tx plain. I* this the way in which settft merits have heretofore been made or are iikclv to be made at piesent ? as in every former act, and movement, secrecy and the usual means of conspirators are employed at piesent, ; and at ; all events, there is no suspicion j that his former conduct does not justify. I he persons, to whom the Na tional Intelligencer alludes, as con nected with Burrr, are, we sus pect, Jonathan Day ton and gen. Wilkinson ‘• Neiti erof whom could advance the funds required and granted, or who, if they could, would advance them for the mere purposes ot a peaceful and agri cu’tuia! settlement in Louisiana —they have employment enough in speculations of a more profita ble and immediate nature. The Yazoo is as great a prize as they could desire to obtain ; & unless for some such scheme as the for cible seizure ot the Yazoo, these gelid* men would not, in our o pinicn, be such active partisans. EXTRACT. To al! those who were weak enough to imagine, that colonel Burr coi.fti be se great .1 fool, as to attempt such a revolution, as that which has been alluded to, these and some otlu r matters of S'mdar import appeared to be sirotig proofs of a conspiracy. And as it had long been the fash ion to to.cure, and to criminate him according to the fears, ha tred or malignity of each writer ; so it happened, from these cau ses, mat col. Barr has been treat ed with as little respect, as if he had been a public outlaw. In one ot the western pipers it is said, that colonel Burr has lately been at the house of colo ttci Lyrcl! K in Kentucky,, where he rental lied several days ; that Lynch,some time ago, had pur cu tsul an interest in the claim of Baron Bastrop to thirty miles square of lands in Louisiana, ■ winch the ISpauisii government had granted to him t that Brntrbp was bound to settles considers ble number of families thereon as one of the conditions of the grant. Here then the whole mystery is unfolded Bastrop being unable to fulfil his cotiiract, sold or con federated with Lynch ; Lvnch Ims either told or confederated with Burr ; Burr has sold or con federated with other persons., who have sufficient cash capital® to make the necessary settle ments. Having made these arrange ments, it was natural lor col. Burr to engage young men of ta lents and enterprise, not only to become settlers, but also to pro mote the general purposes of the plan. Young men of this de scription have been employed, and because the wise ones could not discern wherefore, they have thought fit to say, that the purpo ses were treasonable,and that co lonel Burr was not onlv the au thor, but the great machine, up on which HI the minor parts of this supposed treachery and con spiracy would, or did, depend.

Alexander the first, by the Grate of God, Emperor and Au tocrat eof all the Russia. 9, 1 Make known to our faithful sub- That even by our uninterrupted care for the internal prosperity of our Errpire, we have not ceased to carrv our attention to its ex ternal relations. It was al*yay our wish to place these relations upon a firm foundation, for the gone) of our country, and to se cure them by treaties the mostad vantageous to the state of our Empire. With this view, We thought it necessary, from the beginning of our reign, to settle the causes of the then existing differences, and to unite our selves in friendly bonds to those powers whose wise and moderate principles were founded upon the preservation of their indepen dence and general tranquillity. The Almighty crowned our en deavors, and Europe received peace. Rut by his impenetrable I resolution, this state of affairs was not to be of long duration ; j 1 lie flame of war broke out once ! more. In confomiitv with our J resolution we took no active part i in the war, but our alliances and | our sincere wish for the general piospeiity and tranquftlity, ind c' ed us continually to employ our friendly representations towards the re establishment of peace. But soon after, the French go i vernment, which then began to threaten the safety of our allies-, forced us to take an active part in the war. But even then, when we had taken up arms, we did not cease to wish for peace ; and declared, therefore, that the fulfilment of our sacred alliances, the re-estab lisment of general peace were our sole vietvs —The fortune of war, which was unfavorable to the al lied amis, stopped for a while l he execution of this design ; but did not alter the principles upon whirh it was founded. At the commencement of this year, *be French government professed some readiness towards a friend ly accoir modaiicn, arid w e thereupon determined immedi ately to enter with the same in closer negotiation—the basis ot which should be, preservation ot peace conformable to the honor and security of our Empire and that of our allies, and the gene ral peace of Europe : But, to our great regret, the conditions , propo-.ed by France did not au - ! swer either with the dignity of j our Empire, nor to the advan tage ol our allies—-VVe therefore refused t©'confirm these conditi ons. But to {hew at the fame tirtie, the immutability of cur views, which in the midll of different events are always carried to the fame point, we have not laded to prepofe the means and balls w hereupon We are inclined to renew our negociations with the French government. The balis of our propofitioh is firff. io ve* y moderate that it cannot be refilled without threatening the general iecuri ty; and, secondly. {o much to the advantage ol each of the powers therein concerned, that 1 by their acceptance a general and lading peace will be tabhihed in Europe. { Thus will peace, or the ccn i tir.uance of the war depend up on the coniequences of our views ; Wewdh for peace, but if we are unable to procure a lading one, founded upon re cipiocal advantages, then ffiall We, putting affue all treaties of accomodation, think it our du ty, lor the honor or the Ruffian namejihe lafety of our the lanfclity of our alliances, and the geneial lalvation ol Europe, to proceed to such ex„ tremities which, alter due con fideratioEi, may be fourd , folutely nectffary. We are convinced tl !a t t L Providence of the moft who protebls truth, will cov-J our righteous ■cause with hi, powerful arm. We are con. vinced that our faithful fubi-fo, I always animated with love’ f or I their country, always guj(j e( j I by honor and couiage, and far. I rounded by the great c xam< I pies of zeal shewn for our na.

I In a firm reliance on the af. I fiflanceof Goo Almighty,&l on the zeal of all our faithful I fubjefcis. We have thought it I neceffa'y to inform them with of our intentions, a , l( jl thereby to give them a near I proof, that in all our adioai I we neither desire the exteiiQonl of our territories, nor the vain I renown of victories ; but uatl our wiihes and means will b;l employed for the eltabiifhiaeml of general security, for thl support of our treaties, ar.dforß the protection and dignity oil j our Empire. ■ : Given at St. Petersburgh , the 1; ■ Sept. 18u6, in the o tti yeur i'l our reign , I Counterligned.
