B. has been deepest in making every one believe, that aim other conspicuous characters acre to join him, and he has particularly played bis game with T's name to W. and ot! but can this be matter of .surprize when lie caused many upright men of the most influ- ential character to tbe westward believe that the president himself was privy to his plans and meant not to oppose them. Son these have written to the president 'with a desire to have it direct from himself, and have been duped into a belief of such as- sertions, until they have received his letters in reply. B. caused secret communication to be made W. that not only T, was with him bat the whole navy. ALEXANDRIA, Jan. 26. Arrived, at New-point Comfort, schr.

VI DAY,; JANUARY ZS. rVc'7! our Correspondent at Waslilpigton, January 9.7. " Bollman and Swartwout were this day hi fore the district court, now sitting in this After the court adjourned, they were conducted to prison. Counsel has been as- signed them ; and to-morrow, it is said, the right of committing them will be argue'd before the court." In addition to the letter from commodore ¦:, published in the Gazette last even- ing, we are authorised to state that general I \u has feceived no other knowledge ol the pretended correspondence, than what has reached him through the medium of the newspapers. The schr. Pearl, Huggins, 4 days from Baltimore'bound, to tiarbados, was spoken Jan. », in kit. 33, 00, long. 72, 30. In a short commentary on the conjectures relative to col. Burr, the publisher of the Nashville imparl int. Review observes : "as to ol. Hum's motives we know nothing, but we can with truth say that the citizens of Kentucky and Tennessee! would not hesitate to spurn at such an attempt, and we with confidence assert that those states would be the last in wishing to withdraw their con- nexion witir tire other states of the union." A letter from Nashville, Jan. I, says— a party ia that town burnt Burr in effigy. A grocer of this city complimented the president of the U. States with a " Mammoth hi miniature;" its acceptance pro- duced a note, of which the followin ¦ami which we pa'oiish by particular request : i-'k. Jefferson presents his compliments to Mr.--------------: he was so much en- yesterday, that it .vasnotin his power at the moment when his messenger came, to returij him thanks for the cheese he was so kind as to send him. He begs leave to do it now, and to assure him that as a manifes- tation of the approbation of a fellow-citizen, it is received with augmented value & with thankfulness, January 15,1807. Literary Intelligence. Messrs, Russel & Cutler of Boston have now in the press and will shortly publish a full and detailed report of the trial of Thos. Oliver Sejfridge, cscp for shooting Mr. Aus- tin. A full and accurate narrative of the testimony and pleadings for and against the prisoner, was taken by two able stenogra- phers, who are to be assisted in making out their report by the reporter of the court, & the whole is to be subject to the revision of the court itself. The work will be comprised in a volume of about 2S'° pageys and is expected from the press in a few da The arguments of the attorney general and of Mr. Selfridge's counsel are said to been uncommonly able upon the points of law involved in the case ; and the speech- es ot Messrs. Gore and Deafer, are repre- . as exhib; uells of forensic eloquence hardly inferior in weight and splendor to the most glowing displays of the celebrated Ciureri, As a narrative of novel and extraordina- ry occurranoes, this work miisl prove in- ng to the public at large ; and as a law rep art, involving important1 principles which have rarely been agitated in our courts, it c.ai to be a valuable ae- on to lav y rs and professional gentle- men. [The work, when completed, will be sent to thio city for sale.] Singular apology.— The Aurora has re- pea'aa'.y accusad Mr Clark, the delegate to b ngressfr m the territory of Orleans, of be- ing at toe head of a conspiracy to effect a se- paration of the Union. Mr. Clark has ap- pealed to the laws of the country for re- dress. Under these circumstances Duane somes forward to vindicate his conduct. From this vindication we extract the follow- ing ; and of all the apoligies, for torturing and mangling individual reputation, we have seen none that will compare with this for base and profligate effrontery : " What's Daniel Clark to us any more than Hecuba to him ; unknown to us alike by benefits or injuries, wc took his name up as (he passenger takes a floating atom, and threw it from us among the mass of matter— where if there is nothing deleterious nor pestiferous in it, the atom may, like atoms lliat have never caught the eye, pass into nothingness, eternally unnoticed and harm- less." ° FA7. Y. Com. Jdver.] VILLAINY EXPOSED. A gentleman in Pittsburg has written a letter to a member of congress, stating, that I had made preparations to embark in the ex- pedition of col. Burr, & was prevented from descending the river by sickness. This let- ter has been published in nearly all .of the newspapers east of the mountains. Now be it known., that the writer of the abovementioned letter is an infamous Liar, and dare notavow his name. I never agreed to join the expedition, nor made preparati- ons for that purpose. On the contrary, I ever have been, and shall ever continue to be unalterably opposed to a dismemberment of the union, and contribute every thing in my power to defeat any project to effect it. The letter in question was, fabricated by an unprincipled faction in Pittsburg for no other purpose but to injure me, and obtain for- the Commonwealth the printing of the laws of the union. The faction well knew that J had done ¦ which an editor could do to em- i and defeat the expedition ; and that a recurrence to this papei would evince it.— we may account for the base- and ras- cally expwLer.t of a private letter* Those editors who have given publicity to the letter alluded, to, will plea tbe above.

J&Stract of a letter from Washington^ dated wary 11. Hear what Mr. Paine said in 1776, in Common Sense. " No country on the globe is so happily situated or so ir triable of raising a fleet as America. Tar, timber, iron, and cordage arc her natural produce. We need go abroad for nothing. " Wc ought to build a fleet to encourage commerce. It being the beet money we can lay out. It is that nice point in policy in which commerce and protection are unit- ed. Let us build e-ven if -we tvant them not. IPe can never be more capable to begin than noav." Such was the language of Paine in 1776. In 1806, he declares a navy the curse and the ruin of every nation. Vide Common Sense, as latety published in the Citizen and the Aurora. A patent has been lately taken out in Pa- ris by the SiuiirDespiau, for an improvement i:r weaving, which renders it uunncessary for the workman to throw tlie shuttle with his hand. The weaver, when he sets his foot on the treadles to open the warp, at the same time nfoves two springs placed on each side of the loom, by which the shuttle is thrown at the moment when the frame is removed back as far as it ought to be. His hands therefore remain at liberty, and he can pull back the frame when he wishes to make the texture closer. Experiments have proved that a weaver may work longer, and with much less fatigue, at this than at a common loom ; that he can in twelve hours, weave twelve Paris ells of a yard wide cot- ton stuff", whereas, by the ordinary flying shuttle, a good workman can scarcely, in the same time, make more than four or six eHs. The same experiments likewise have shewn, that this improved loom may be em- I with advantage in the manufacture of all kinds of stuffs, woolens, blankets, linens, he. and that the additions and alter- ations required by ordinary looms will be at- tended with very little expence ; that the construction of the mechanism by which the shuttle is thrown is simple, and ret] no 1 pence to keep it in repair, and may be adapted to all looms of the ordinary con- structions. Looms of this construction are fitted up by Messrs. Barbazan and Co. at the Gobe- lins at Paris, at the expence of from two to two guineas and a half. A Remarkable HOG. The property of Joshua Ashbridge, in Goshen township, within J-miles of West- chester [Penn.] Round the butt of the tail measures 8 inches, upper part of the fore leg 17-I- inches, middle of the body 3 feet 10 inches high, girth at fore leg, 6 feet 2 inches, from the nose to the root of the tail, by a line along the back, 8 feet I inch, and only 17 months old. Virginii> L(gis!attire. The two houses have not yet agreed upon the Revenue Bill. On Saturday, the house of delegates passed a new bill, omitting the tax on toll-bridges, ferries, &c. but retaining .: on the stock of the Virginia bank. The senate again rejected it. Yesterday, a new bill was presented to the house of dele- gates reducing the tax on Virginia bank stock from 1-2 (as it stood in the original bifl) *:> 1-8. If the senate are opposed to the principle of.taxing the Virginia stock, they will, no doubt, reject this new bill. But if they have been at war only with the rate of the tax, this reduction of its quantum may lead to the adoption of the bill. The pre- sumption is, that they have been opposed to tlie very principle of the tax. [Richmond Enquirer.'} [From an English publication.] NEW PATENT. Mr:,BenjaminBaley's,fjt'.ecn street, Cheapside, ¦for a new method of refining sugars. He has, after many experiments, found that milk may be very successfully used, ac- cording to his specification : he first charg- es the pans with the usual quantity of lime water, and to each ton weight of sugar he adds ten gallons of milk, more or less ac- cording to the quality of- sugar ; of which five gallons is to be mixed with the water, and after the sugar is skipped, it is to remain in the pan till the next morning. The whole is then to be stirred together, and when the scum is taken off more milk is to be added and the same process repeated till the liquor is perfectly cleared. An elderly g«ntleman who wore a large white wig, had been out late on Saturday evening, in hot weather. Next day he at- tended public worship, and for his own com- fort, as he was rather corpulent, he seated himself in the aisle of the church, near the door, before which were a number of sheep feeding ; among them was an old ram, who was an old warrior. While the parson was engaged for the good of his soul, the old gentleman was sleeping for the refreshment of his body. As he sat facing the nodding in his sleep, the old ram observed it, and mistaking the svig for the head of an antagonist, and the nodding for a signal of battle, began to shake his head, and drew back to .a proper distance for a rencountre, when our hero making a very low nod, the ram supposing tl C enemy advancing, met him full butt, and sent him howling half way to the pulpit, knocking off his Wig : tlie sudden interruption did r.ot a little foil the minister and divert the audience ; what added to the diversion, the old man'recover- ing his legs as soon as possible, gathered up iris wig, and putting it on, the tail Delcre, a- gairt took his seat, but did not discover his mistuke until service was ended.
