From this it. appears among oilier facts, that
Mr- ICeene mentioned the names of several
j'.'iitlomen, none of whom have been denounc-
ed, or arrested, and one ofNyhomis actually
an officer now employed under general Wilk-
inson's command If the general then gave
credit to this information, why are not the
Gtbess denounced ? If he did not, why is it
made the ground of accusation against me >
As to the payment of the money to Bollman,
let. it be remembered, that no secret was made
of the transaction, that I told it to tne prose,
cuter tonhe United States, a3 appears by ths
follow,ng certificate :
,: Shortly after my receiving information of
the arrivij of Dr. Bollman in this territory,
Mr. Edward Livingston informed me, that
Bollman had presented to bim an order for
aboii two thousand dollars, drawn in favor.ol
T'..>. -,,an by col. Burr, and at the same time
expressed bis surprize that Burr should have
been indebted to Bollman.

And that a few days after gen. Wilkinson's
arrival, I openly mentioned it to turn I; he
thought it an evidence of guilt, why did he
continue his intimacy with me ? If he has other
proofs as he once hinted, why are they not
brought forward ? No efforts of mine have
been wanting to provoke inquiry, as appears
by mt conduct in court, and by the following
'letter delivered to Judge Hall, on the day it
bears date :
" Sir,
" It is now upwards of a weelr. since gene-
ral Wilkinson charged me at the bar of the su-
perior court, with a participation in high crimes
against the United Slates, promising to sup-
port them by affidavit. Tho' you may proba-
hly have heard this circumstance, y<-t, as you
eantiot act without authentic information, I
take the liberty of stating it, that-the general
may be summoned to lay any charges ho may
have against me before the proper tribunal, or
that his neglect or incapacity to produce them,
may be another evidence of the unfounded
nature ofhis accusation.

IMPERIAL DECREE,
Declaring the British lies in a state of
Blockade.
Imperial Camp, Berlin, Nov. 21, 1806.
Napoleon, emperor of the trench and king of
Italy—considering :
1. That England does not admit the
right of nations as universally acknowledged
by all civilized people :
2. That she declares as an enemy, every
individual belonging to an enemy state, and
in consequence makes prisoners of war not
only the crews of armed vessels, but those
also of merchant vessels, and even the su-
percargoes of the same :
3. That she extends or applies to mer-
chant vessels, or articles of commerce, and
to the property of individuals, the right of
conquest which can only be applied or ex-
tended to what belongs to an enemy state :
4. That she extends to ports not fortified,
to tho harbors and mouths of rivers, the
right of blockade, which, according to rea-
son and the usage of civilized nations, is
applicable only to strong or fortified ports:
That she declares blockaded places before
which she has not a single vessel of war ;
although a place ought not to be considered
blockaded but when it is so invested as that
no approach to it can be made without im-
minent hazard ; that she declares even places
blockaded which her united forces would be
incapable of doing, such as entire coasts,
and a whole empire :
5. That this unequalled abuse of right of
blockade has no other object, than to inter-
rupt the communications of different nati-
ons, and to extend the commerce and in-
dustry of England upon the ruin of those
of the continent :
6. That this being the evident design of
England, whoever deals on the continent in
English merchandise, favors that design,
and becomes an accomplice:
7. That this conduct in England, (wor-
thy only of the first ages of barbarism) has
benefited her to the detriment of other na-
tions :
8. That it being right to oppose to an
enemy tin? same arms she makes use of, to
combat as she does ; when all ideas of jus-
tice, and every liberal sentiment (the result
of civilization among men) are disregarded :
We have resolved to eniorce against Eng-
land the usages which she has concentrated
in her maritime code.
The present decree shall be considered as
the fundamental law of the empire, until
England has acknowledged that the rights
of war are the same on land as at sea, that
it cannot be extended to any private proper-
ty whatever, not to persons who are not
military, and until the right of blockade be
restrained to ibrtiiied places actually invest-
ed by competent forces.
Art, 1. The British Islands are in a state
of blockade.
2. All commerce h correspondence with
tbein is prohibited. Consequently, all letters
or packets, written in English, or to an
Englishman, written in the English lan-
guage, shall not be dispatched from the post-
offices, and shall be seized.
8. Every individual, a subject of Great-
Britain, of whatever rank or condition,
who is found in countries occupied by our
troops or those of our allies, shall be made
a prisoner of war,
4. Every ware-house, all merchandize or
property whatever belonging to an English-
man are declared good pi ize.
5. The commercei'df English merchandize
is prohibited. All merchandize, theproduce
or manufacture of England or her colonies,
is declared to be good prize.
6. One-half of the proceeds of merchan-
dize declared to be good prize and forfeited
as in the preceding articles, shall go to in-
demnify merchants who have suffered losses
1 bv tht English cruizets.
lajtd or Her colonies, or having beer
since the publication of this decree, shall be
admitted into any port.
8. Every vessel, that by a false declarati-
on contravenes the foregoing disposition,
shall be seized ; and the ship and cargo con-
fiscated as English property.
[9. This article1 state;, that the councils of
prizes at Paris and at Milan shall have cog-
nizance of what may arise in the empire, &¦
in Italy, under the present article.]
10. Communications of this decree shall
be made to the kings, of 1S»ain, Naples, Hol-
land, Etruria, and to our other allies, whose,
subjects as well as ours, are victims of the
injustice and barbarity of the Engiish mara-
time code.
11. Our ministers of foreign relations, &c.
&c. are charged with the execution of the
present decree.

VERY LATE NEIPS1
The editors of the New-York Gazette re-
ceived on Saturday evening, per Patriot
pilot-boat, an enclosure by the brig Eme-
line, containing a file of Paris papers to
the 28th December. From these papers
(which nevef give a word of adverse
news of the French armies) the editors
have extracted the subsequent articles :
The 4lst bulletin mentions, that on tne 11th
Dec. marshal Davoust made the gen.of brigade
Gauthier, cross the river Bug, at the mouth
of the Wike, opposite the village of Okuiiin.
It says—" The 25th of the line & the 89th,
having crossed, and covered themselves by a
tete de pont, and had advanced to the village
of Pomikuwo, when a Russian division pre-
sented itself to carry this village ; it made
only useless efforts, was repulsed and lost a
great many men." The French acknow-•
ledge the loss of twenty men killed or
wounded !
On the 10th, marshal Augerean crossed
the Vistula, between Zakroczyn and Utra-
ta. Marshal Bessieres was stretching out
from Thorn. General Gouvion is appointed
governor of Warsaw, [capital of Poland.]
The king of Prussia had been at the Rus-
sian head-quarters, & proceeded from thence
to Konigsburg, where his queen had alrea-
dy arriva d.
Berlin, December 8.
It is rumoured in this city that Saxony
was called to high destinies, and that the
present elector would assume the title grant-
ed to several of the princes forming the
confederation of the Rhine.
Vienna, December 5.
Several of the regiments which formed
our army of neutrality in Bohemia, are al-
ready returned to Austria. Other corps of
the same army have received orders from the
aulic council of war to repair to theenvirons
of Oedinburg in Hungary, and, as we learn,
are already on their march thither. The
direct letters from that kingdom, state, that
the general rendezvous of the troops which
returned from the frontiers, is the city of
Prague, whence each corps is to march to
its further destination. The measures taken
for the establishment of military magazines
in Bohemia, have in like manner been
countermanded within this short time. In
Moravia the troops are also ordered back
into the interior, and concentrated near 01-
mutz. The number of troops which have
repaired within these few weeks into both
Gallicias, may amount to about 20,000
men.
FEDERAL GAZETTE.
VtftelVNESbAY, FRBWA&Y 11.
Extract of a. letter from Nantz, to a gentle-
man in Boston, dated Nov. 28.
" You will perceive that the French have
shut the Elbe and Weser ; that several ports
in the Baltic, are in possession of our troops,
and that the system of excluding the British
from all the continental ports, is by degrees
accomplishing ; it is thought the English
will be under the necessity, either to forbid
our ports to neutrals, or make a peace—the
last opinion prevails.—Business is quite
knocked down,
Congress of'the United States.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Tuesday, February 10.
[Taken for the FEDERAL GAZETTE.]
A message was received from the president.
of the United States, transmitting such infor-
mation as was in the possession of the exe-
cutive, relative to the efficacy of gun-boats,
agreeably to a resolution of the house of the
5th instant. The president expresses a ve-
ry favorable opinion of this mode of de-
fence, and quotes the example of other nati-
ons, He supposes that the number of gun-
boats wanted, would probably be—for the
defence of the Mississippi and the neighbor
ing waters, 40; for Savannah, Charleston,
issc. 85 ; for the Chesapeake and its waters,
20 ; for Delaware bay, l.'v ; for N. York, 50 i
and for Boston, 50—making in all, £00. Of
these, he says, 73 are already built or build-
ing, of the remaining 127, one half, he
thinks, could be built during the pi
year, and the other half in the course of the
ensuing year.
The message was accompanied by letters
from generals Gates and Wilkinson, & com-
modore Barron, recommending the " gun-
boat system of defence." They were order-
ed to be printed and lie on the table.
Mr. Early, from the committee of .com-
merce and manufactures, presented a resolu-
tion authorising the secretary of the treasu-
ry to cause to be published the report and
chart of the survey of the coast of N. Caro-
lina, made under an act of the last session of
congress, which vyas referred to a committee
of the whole to-morrow.
The amendments of the senate to the bill
extending the power cf granting writs of in-
function to the judges of ths district courts
of the U. States, weie referred to a select
committee.
The bill further supplementary to the act
concerning the district of Columbia, was
read the third time and passed ; ayee 52
noes 45.
Another message was received from the
president of the U. S. inclosing a letter from
Cowles Mead, secretary and acting governor
of the Mississippi teriitory, from which the
following is an extract :
" Washington, (M. T.) Jan. 13.
" Sir,
" I have just time by the mail to inform
you, that I received this morning a letter
from colonel Burr, at Bayou Pierre, avow-
ing the innocence of his views and the fal-
lacy of certain rumors against Ins patriotism,
His object is agriculture, and his boats are
the vehicles of emigration. However, seve-
ral military corps were ordered to be on the-
alert and apprehend him and all suspicious
persons on the day before the reception of
his letter : these orders may possibly bring
him into my possession. In his letter he
hints at resistance to any attempt to.coeree
him, and deprecates a civil war. These
hints will have no influence on my conduct.
He will be apprehended, if possible, at the
hazard of the lives of our militia, and the
honor of the executive. We are all bustle
and activity. I hope in a day or two to
give you a better account of this trouble^
some man.
" A boat passed Natchez last night ; was
hailed and pursued by the guard ; they fired
two guns at the pursuers, and made their
escape, being better manned.
*' The citizens of this country are repub-
licans and patriots, and on their exertions I
have every reliance," .
The house then (in committee of the
whole) resumed the consideration of the
slave bill ; and after a debate of considera-
ble length (on the subject of the forfeiture
of slaves) the committee of the whole rose
without going through the bill, reported pro-
gress, and asked leave to sit again ! After
which the house adjourned (a few minutes
after 4 o'clock.
[The bill before the house yesterday, was
the bill from the senate : the house-laid that
aside to-day, and took up their own bill ; but
the}' stopped at the same stumbling block,
which has already caused so much dhilcul-
