Died, at Colchester, Mr. He.%ekiah Kil- hourn, aged 77 years. The case of this man has hitherto been unprecedented in this country. Until he was fifty years of age, he supported those christian virtues, which add dignity to an intelligent and ele- vated mind. He then, by degrees, became insane ; three years being elapsed, it was found necessary, for his family's safety, to confine him in. chains. In this situation he remained 25 years, when he imbibed an idea that he should be poisoned to death ; he accordingly refused to take food of any kind, (tobacco and water excepted) and, strange to tell, L» fasted sixty-t.vo days.— He then, by the solicitation of his attendants with a voracious appetite received into his stomach one large table spoon full of milk ; and again refused sustenance. He survived two days after takingthe milk, when death closed the melancholy scene. That so far from gen. Wilkinson's being tues 0f thc individuals who compose it, and every individual is concerned^ and may concerned with col. Burr, the truth is, the information on tuhieh the president isnted his proclamation actually came from the general by a lieutenant of the army, who left Nat- chitoches on the 24th October, and deliver- ed his dispatches into the president's own hands on the 26th of November : That although the president had (prior thereto be useful in promoting the general safety.

CALEB STRONG. January 8, 1807. CHARLESTON, January 2. Captain Smith, arrived yesterday, left Hamburg on the 3d November; and has fa- vored us with a paper of the 1st. Trans- lations will be given to-morrow. It appears by the last dates, that an action was report- ed to have been fought on the 27th Octo- ber, nearNenstndt, between prince Hohen- lohe, and the French troops—the result not known. When capt. Smith sailed, it was report- ed that the king of Prussia had sued for an armistice of 14 days ; but was refused by the emperor of the French. Duchy of Brunswick has been taken sion of by the French troops. The Duke was at Altona, receiving medical as- sistance for the wound in his eye. January 3.

On Thursday, the 1st instant, three boats arrived in this city by the way of the Santee Canal, from Beatty's ford, on the Catawba River. This ford is a few miles ¦below Morgantown, in North-Carolina, which is upwards of two hundred miles higher than where any boat has heretofore come from. The three boats brought near one hundred and fifty bags of Cotton. ~ln¥7w~J an u a jTyIJ. 30th November gen. Wilkinson was, in I conjunction with j;ov. Claiborne and capt. i Shaw of the navy, placing the city of New- j Orleans in a posture of defence, and ma- I king every preparation for the prevention of I any hostilt attempt : That Burr's emissa- | nes had declared that a naval force was to j appear in their aid at the month of the ri- j ver ; but as they named an American as the naval commander, and as it is well known that he is quiet and at his own house, it begins to be believed that the tale I of the naval force was fabricated for the purpose ot gaining adherents. On applica- tion at the war department, our informant says the answer of the secretary was—that no late resignations had taken place in the ar- my of the United States. Our informant further states, that it was expected the pre- sident would very soon lay all the informa- tion he had obtained be fore congress, respect- ing the diabolical schemes and intentions of j col. Burr—when the public will be convinc- ed that the conduct of gen. Wijkinson (0 far as the information yet received exhibits facts) has been judicious, patriotic, and ho- norable.

DAVID STEWART, A January 1(;. d4te< Extract of a Utter received by the Packet, from a commercial house in London, dated 1st Ncrvember r8c(i. '• The Prussians have been terribly beat- en by the French, and we fear will never he able to make head against them again ; if the Prussians make, peace, we see no ob- ject sufficiently strong to induce England to continue the contest, and we think Bona- parte will be desirous of peace to strength- en himself and secure his conquests. It is therefore our opinion, that the merchants on your side should not calculate on a con- tinuance of the war in their speculations. By the spring it will be easier to form, a judgment. Flour is 45s for S. F. at present, and if the war bsts, we think 40s per barrel may be calculated on, but if there should be peace on the continent, it will probably go law, for grain is now understood to be very plenty in the North of Europe. " Tobacco is about 5 i-2d. per lb. Lib. for Petersburg parcels." Extract of a letter from Port-au-Prince, November 2 Sri, I8O6. " Mr. Williams, ot Baltimore, has lately arrived in this city, in the British ship Boyd, from London, with an assorted cargo of up- wards of 200,000 dollars, under a British li- cence from the king—it says, " to any port or ports in St. Domingo or Hoyti, not in the possession of our enemies." Several other vessels are daily looked for, under the same .kind of permission. They are granted to all British subjects." [AT. Y.

Mr. ——, writes to his friend (dating Chilicothe, 3d January) that governor Tif- fin has had much trouble, but has ac.ed with effect in counteracting Burr's treason- able plots, so far as his jurisdiction extends —but he fears that a stroke will be struck be- fore the energies ot the general government can be drawn into action. Fourteen boats have been secured in the Ohio. The legislature of Kentucky were acting with closed doors, and were framing a law to authorise the governor to act as in Ohio —but they -will be be too late, I fear : If A letter from Hamburgh, dated Nov. 1, says, the delay of the mail from Prussia and Russia threatens (he most fatal consequen- ces to our trade.

Gentlemen of the Senate, and of the H. of Representatives, Through the favor of Providence, we are again assembled to perform those public ser- vices to which we have been respectively deputed ; and we owe to the confidence which our constituents have reposed in us, our constant endeavors to employ the autho- rity with which we are entrusted, in pro- moting the honor and safely of the state, & the improvement and happiness of our fel- low-citizens. Permit me, gentlemen, to as- sure you, that no care shall be wanting on my part, to contribute, as far as possible, to the attainment of these essential objects. The strength of a republic consists in the mutual dependence and agreement of its several parts.
