Shields and Poindexter, to visit the quarters of that gentleman, near the mouth of Ba- you Pierre, and to hold a conversation with him on the subject. On the 16th an ami- cable agreement was entered into between the parties in the following words, to wit : •' The Hon. Cotvlcs Mead, acting governor of the Mississippi 'Territory, with a view to restore public tranquility, proposes to Aaron Burr as jollcws : " That an interview shall take place be- tween them at the house of Thomas Cal- vit, on Cole's creek, at two o'clock to- morrow. " The said Cowlcs Mead pledges him- selfto protect the saidA.Burr duringhissay in the territory, and that he shall be return- ed to his present position in a suitable man- ner as soon after the interview as he may please—that in the mean time, there shall be no restraint 011 his person, no violence or molestation to his boats or people, and that the military of the district shall not un- til the return of the said A. Burr, approach nearer to his present quarters than the mouth of Cole's Creek. A. Burr on his part engages that in the mean time no violence or injury shall be of- fered by any of his people to the inhabitants of the M. Territory, that they shall keep the peace and not infringe any Jaw of the United States, or of either of its territories. The parties ahove named mutually pledge their honcr for the performance of this agreement. January 16, 1S07, CGV/LES MEAD, By suit in a voluntary =ubrnisfion on thepart of cm.

The insurance companies of this ci'v, on the receipt of the French decree of Novem- ber 21, addressed to the department of state a letter requesting information on the sub- ject. We learn that an answer to this appli- cvion was this morning received from Mr. Madison. It refers generally for the infor- mation required, to the president's message, and adds, that as a matter of security for the Aoierican commerce, M. Turreau had been induced to forward to the French West-In- dict, copies of the explanation given to Mr. Armstrong, by Mr. Dacres, minister of marine. {.PUlad, Gaz.~] A very great degree of alarm has been excited at Newark, by the prevalence of a diiease which has been not only very fatal in its effects, but most rapid it its progress ; in less than twenty-four hours after the at- tack, and all of them bearing strong marks of early mortification. It is not said of what type is the disorder, nor whether any effectual remedy has yet b^en interposed. [A^. Y. paper] IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE of LORDS, Friday, January 2. After several peers had taken the oaths, lord Granville brought in a bill for abolish- ing the slave trade, which being read a first time, he rose to move that it be printed— and observed that he should give a fortnight's notice before the second reading. Lord Hawkesbury said that the house ought to be put in possession of any correspondence that might have taken place between this government and those of other countries, on the subject of a general abolition ; and lord Eldon thought that some explanation was necessary as to the nature of the bill. This, however, lord Grenville declined till the discussion. LEGISLATURE oe NEW-ORLEANS. House of Representatives, Jan. 14, 1807. The speaker laid before the house a let- ter from the hon. James Workman, judge of the county court of Orleans connty, co- vering sundry documents, informing the house that he had adjourned the court sine die, and bxplained his reason therefor.— The illegal arrest and transportation of cer- tain persons, by order of general Wilkin- son, the overthrow of the civil authority, &c. was also announced. The letter and part of the documents were read, and the who referred to a select committe compos- ed of Messrs. Donaldson, Viller, Andry, Arnauld, and Hughes. January 29.

" In addition to the bills of indictment now preferred by the grand jury for the city and county of Orleans, they feel themselves imperiously called upon to present as a most dangerous and alarming evil, the late unpre- cedented exercise of military power in this city. They have seen with no less astonish- ment than grief, the laws and the civil au- thority prostrated before a military force.— They have seen the citizens of the U. States and of this territory, seized upon and im- prisoned by that, force, & deprived of the be- riefit of that great bulwark of civil liberty, the v ;it of habeas corpus. Nay more, they have seen the gen. commanding the Ame- rican Army here, come before this honor- able court, and openly avow such illegal acts, and declare that he would persevere in them, and to this grand, jury the same getie- Port of Baltimore.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. t TJiursday, February 26. [Taken tor the FEDERAL GAZETTE.] Mr. Newton observed, that there was a very important hill on the table, which, if not passed, the Mediterranean squadron could not befitted out: he therefore called for the order of the day on the bill increas- ing the naval peace establishment. The speaker informed him tfiat there were other bills on ths table which would have the preference. Mr, Holmes, from the committee of claims, to whom had been referred the memorial of Eiigcnt de ileauinarchais, submitted a re- port, recommending that the said memorial be referred to the secretary of state,' with directions to report thereon at the next ses- sien of congress ; which was agreed to by the house. The " Bill staking provision for the dis posal of the public lands situate between the United States Military Tract and the Connecticut Reserve," was read a third time and passtd. The house then proceeded to consider the amendments of the senate to the bill repeal- ing the duty on salt, ai^f continuing the Mediterranean fund, [fhe first amendment repeals only the act of '97, imposing an ad- ditional duty »f eight cents per bushel on salt ; the second amendment repeals the fid section ; and the third amendment continues the Mediterranorn fund until the 31st De. cember, instead of the end of the next ses- sion of congrfss.j The question was taken by ayes and noes, on agreeing to the llrst amendment of the senate, and it was lost—ayes 13, noes 85. The other amendments were also disagreed to. Mr. Randolph moved that the house insist tipon the bill [as it originally passed ; and contended, that the senate had no constitu- tional right either to dictate the objects -iThicb should be taxed, or the quantum of taxes which should be imposed. Mr. Randolph afterwards withdrew his motion. • Mr. Early moved that the house adhere to th(fir bill. The ayes and noes were taken on this motion, and it was carried in the af- firmative—ayes 93, noes 20. A message was received from the senate, •notifying that they had agreed to the "joint resolution," sent from the house, directing the publication of the map of the survey of the coast of North-Carolina, with amend- ments ; also, that they had passed an act in addition to the act for laying out and mending a road from Cumberland to Ohio. Ordered to lie on the table. Considerable debate arose on agreeing to the amendments made by the senate to the bill to prohibit the importation of slaves ; I when the question was taken by ayes and noes, and it passed in the affirmative. [So j that this bill wants oily the president's sig- | nature, to become a law.] The house proceeded to consider the a- 1 mendinents of the senate to the "joint re- I solution" abovementioned, and disagreed to the same. The bill from the senate, in addition to the act for laying out and mending a road from Cumberland to Ohio, was read twice and re- ferred to a committee of the whole to-mor- row. [This bill appropriates 250,000 dol- lars for that object.] A message was received from the senate, informing the house, that they had resolved to adhere to their amendments to the " bill repealing the acts laying duty on salt, and contintring in force for a further time the act entitled an act further to protect the commerce and seamen of the U.S. against the Barbary powers." [This bill is therefore lost : so the tax on salt, which yielded about half a million yeaily, will be still continued ; while the act abovementioned, imposing an additional duty on certain arti- cles, constituting wljat is called the Medi- terranean fund, and which yields about one million ycaiiy^will expire OUTvW*day next J RULB1C DEBATING SOCIETY/ It was B.sol-ocd iitianimcu,!.., That m -fu- ture a meeting shall be held every SATUR- DAY EVENING at the PANTHEON lot- public debate.
