Siiip Eliza, Adams, of New-Bedford, and 1 he barque Maria, Balc.li, of Boston, were drove on shore on the night of the 2jt!i October, in a gale of wind from the eastward) but were got oft' with consi- derable damage.

Mr. Ogden had been again arrested—and Mr. Alexander. Gov. Claiborne had offered 9 reward for the apprehension of Burr. The senate wweeilgaged during the whole cf Friday, till a late hour with closed doors. Sketch of proceedings in the circuit court of the V. S.for the district of Columbia. On Friday, Mr. Jones, the attorney of the district, invited the attention of the court to the situation of Erick ISolhnan and Samuel V. Swartwout, and the crimes laid to their charge. He made a number of re- marks going to shew that they had been guilty of treasonable acts against, the peace and union of the D. States. Evidence to this effect, he said, would be adduced at a future period. He rose, however, mereiy to move that the court would issue a warrant, direct- ing the marshal of the district to take the prisoners, at present in the hands of military authority, into his custody. He grounded this motion on theaffidavits of gen. Wilkin- son, already published. He did this in obe- dience to instructions received from the ex- ecutive of the U. States, whose wish it was that they should be surrendered into the hands of the civil authority. Mr. Jones then read the affidavits of general Wilkin- son, and went into an argument of some length in snpport of his motion. Various questions were submitted by the court, the object of which principally was to ascertain the specific offence charged, and the grounds on which the attorney support- ed it. The attorney in reply, made an argument to shew that the offence charged was trea- son ; but contended, that if it were of an in- ferior hue, still the arrest and commitment were proper to be made. The court took lime further to examine the case. Their hesitation to grant the mo- tion of the attorney arose chiefly from the uncertainty of the offence charged against the prisoners in the affidavits of gen. Wil- kinson t and from the necessity of specify ing some specific offence, in. the warrant of arrest. On Saturday, on the openirig of the conrt, Mr. Jones observed, that it was his wish, previous to a decision on his motion, to sub- mit the evidence of gen. Eaton and Mr. Jas. Low ry Donaldson, for whom he moved sub- poenas. The court ordered subpoenas to be issued for these witnesses. Mr. Caldwell then said, that he held in his hand a petition signed by him, in behalf of Messrs. Bollman and Swartwout, whose sig- natures could not be obtained, as access was denied to them. Mr. C read the following petition : To the judges of the Circuit court of the U. States in and for the district of Columbia. Ycur petitioners Erick Bollman and Sa^ muel Swartwout, respectiyrepresent that they are confined within the body of Washing- ton county, in the district of Columbia, at the Marine Barracks under a military guard, without just and legal cause, and ate de- prived of the benefit of counsel, orbeingcon- fronted with their accusers, and of being in- formed of the nature of their offence, or of the cause of their commitment. Your pe- titioners therefore request a writ of Habeas Corpus, in the usual form, directed to Lt. col. Franklin Wharton, or to «tich other person as may have the custody of your peti- tioners, that they may be proceeded against as the laws direct, and have an opportunity •i being heard in their defence. For and on behalf of Erick Bollman and Samuel Swarrwout, ELI AS B, CALDWELL, Attorney. After offering this petition Mr. C. made a concise speech in support of its prayer. Mr. Jones opposed allowing the prayer of the petition, principally on the ground of its collision with the motion made by him, then depending before the court, the effect of which he contended would be the same as that produced by the writ of Ha- beas Corpus, if allowed. Mr. Dorsey replied, in support of the pe- tition. Mr. Caldwell again spoke : and Mr. Jones replied. Some further conversation ensued between the counsel, when cheif justice Cranch de- clared it the opinion of the court, that be- fore in strictness a right existed to claim a writ ot Habeas Corpus, it must appear on affidavit that the warrant of commitment or other authority under which the confine- ment had taken place, had been refused to- gether with the grounds of refusal, judge Cranch added that this decision was made under the 31st of Charles second, which ap- plied to this case. A feint objection was made by Messrs. Caldwell and Dorsey to the application of this statute, which was over-ruled by the court. A short time after this general Eaton and Mr. Donaldson appealed in court. Mr. Jones said that the testimony of ge- neral Eaton would be lengthy, aud in order to-allow time for drawing it out he request- ed (hat he might be indulged until Monday. 'This course was acquiesced in by the court in respect to both the witnesses. Mr! Caldwell then offered the following aSdavat : District cf Columbia—Washington county, ss. On the 21th day of January, in the year ef our I.,">rd, lg,o;, personally appeared lUi- as B, Caldwell, who being duly sworn, de- poseth and saith that he called on lieutenant colonel Franklin Wharton, command.;:.! o"f the A urine corps, and requested of him a ¦cojiv of lite "•',-arrant ot cause of commit- Itienl of t'-.iiek EbUnian ml Samuel Swart- woiit, to which the said colonel replied that !:•: had no warrant or commitment, but that ! they were delivered to him in the usual mi- litary mode, aud that they were merely un- ¦ der his care for sale keeping. Sworn to before me the day and year above written. Win. BftENT, Clfc. Mr. Caldwell added that he had not seen J Mr. bollman, and did not know whether it was his wish to apply for a writ of habeas corpus. lie would, therefore, only move for a writ of habeas corpus for Mr. Swart- wout. Mr. Jones intimated a hope that some days should be allowed for making out the return to the writ, which might require de- liberation and legal advice. This was opposed by Messrs. Caldwell and Dorsey. When the court ordered a writ of habeas corpus, in the case of Samuel Swartwout, returnable on Monday, at 1 o'clock. To the merchants ofihe district of Columbia, the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and their vicinity. Gentlemen, The extension of commerce between the United States of America aud the different nations of the globe, for the last few years, has been unparalleled in the annals of any nation either ancient or modern ; among the numerous instances which might be ad- duced to prove this assertion, the flourish- ing state of our trade with the small island of Madeira, perhaps is not the least ; whe- ther we consider it as a mart for our own superfluities, the facilities it presents us with in out intercourse with other nations, or the revenue drawn from the produce of that comparatively small portion of the earth ; it furnishes ur. with innnmcriblc advantages. To elucidate the above, it is only necessary to peruse the annexed abstract of the ex- ports to, and imports from that island dur- ing * period of fifteen months, commencing April 1st, 1805, and ending on the 30th of June, ib'06—could it have been suppos- ed, or even hoped, a very few years ago, that in so small a period 20,69/.! tons of American shipping should have entered and cleaied there, and is it not sttll more sur- prizing that net one of those vessels has cleared out from this district, notwithstand- ing great quantities ot produce have been actually shipped from hence for the express purpose of cairyiug on that trade. As the undersigned proposes settling at Madeira for some years, he wishes to en- gage the attention of his fellow citizens of this district and its vicinity, to this lucrative branch of commerce, and being persuaded that it may be improved to the advantage of those concerned, he offers his best services either as an associate in trade, or in the ge- neral line of commission, and possessing every advantage that situation and a compe- tent knowledge of the language of the coun- try can be supposed to procure, he pledges his best endeavors to merit the confidence of those who may favor him with their com- mands, by an unremitting zeal and activity in the inanapemaat of the concerns intrust- ed to his guidance. As I propese leaving the United States in all next may, letters post paid from any part of the union will be punctually attend- ed to, until the 1st of that month. Inter- rim I remain very respectfully, Gentlemen, your obedienr servant, JAMES LKANDER CATHCART, Consul for the United States, at the Island of Madeira. George-Town, Columbia, Jan. 21st, 1807.

From the repeated complaints of many of our subscribers, we have (toe hope not too late) made strict inquiry on the walk of our delinquent Carrier, ar.di'md that a villainous conduct has been pursued by him since the commencement of the new year. This is a result as mortifying to us as disagreeable to those who have been so shamefully neglect- ed. We crave forgiveness for the past, and have adopted?$uo.h measures as will ensure punctuality in flue The Carrier who has thus betrayed the trust reposed in him, served the Gazette in the district including Chatham-street, East ditto, North Gay and Frederick ditto, Old-Town, end Fell's-Point. Such as will send to the office, any be supplied with late numbers. Baltimore, yan. 26. Mr. Hewfs. Sir—In your paper of Saturday and of this day, you have published a "French correspondence," taken from the " Ledger" of Norfolk. On carefully perusing them, I am led to believe they are not genuine : not that /should be astonished at receiving a letter from admiral Willaumeg ; for lon;> habits of friendship gave me reason to ex- pect something of the kind from him ; but on reading what is termed his fourth letter, ¦I observe, " these letters and other dispatch- es" were put in charge of Mons. le Chade- raud, lieutenant of his ship, not only to de- liver, but to " to, my that he [admiral \V.] is astonished at the conduct of the comman- ders of ships belonging to H. I. M. in the American ports" &c. Now if these letters and dispatches were given to M. le Chade- raud, what has become of him, or how could the editor of the Ledger have obtained I hem ? They were not copies, I suspect, for I declare I never wrote to, or received any letter from admiral Willaumez since he left Baltimore, three years ago. The editor himself says " that if they are fabrications, they originated in the Havanna ; for they were put on board a vessel at that port"— and so they might have been, and fabricated also ; but it is of little consequence where it was done, and had not my name been mentioned I should not have taken notice of them. It clearly appears to me, that if M. le Chaderaud had been sent by admiral W. [as mentioned in the fourth letter] the letters would not have been given to the world : On the other hand n they are in reality original letters, I make no hesi- tation of saying the bearer oi them from the Havana should know wdiat has become of Mons. le Chaderaud, for I have never heard that any such person has arrived in the United States.

[Taken for the FEDERAL GAZETTE.] The doors of the house of representatives were this day <=Jos«d at «Wi ter ele- ven o'clock, in consequence of the receipt of a confidential message from the senate, and remained shut about half an hour.— When they were opened, an affidavit was read from general Wilkinson, containing proofs of guilt against Swartwout gf Others. After it was read, Mr. Bui well, (of Virgi- hia) moved that a bill received from the se- nate, for suspending the privilege of the •writ of habeas corpus, be rejected. He spoke at seme length against the principle of the bill. He could see no reason for the me: Hire ; if any did exist, they had not been communicated to the liCu.se. He tho't that the suspension of this privilege would tend to excite an unnecessary degree of alarm. This (he said) was not the first in- stance of a conspiracy against the govern- ment : there had been one of an infinitely more dangerous nature ; and yet the writ of habeas corpus had never been suspended. The state of the country appeared to him perfectly safe, and he thought that the pro- posed bill would, if passed, be an infringe- ment of that clause of the constitution which authorises such a measure only in cases of actual rebellion or invasion. He concluded by moving that the bill be re- jected. Messrs. Elliot, Eppes, Nelson, Sloan, Ran- dolph, Smilie and Dana, also spoke against the bill ; and Messrs. Varmint and BidweU in favor of it ; when the question was tak- en by ayes and noes, and the bill was re- jected, ayes 113 ; noes 19. The house then adjourned.
