Below last night, one schooner and seve-
ral sloops from the southward.
Inthe brig Jane from .vntigua came pas-
seijger, capt. Hicks, late master of the
ship Eugenia ; which vessel on her passage
f..iiii this port to Dublin, foundered at sea.
The captain and crew were taken off by the
brig Triton, Newell, from New-London for
Antigua ; and the Triton was herself lost
about 30 days since on Bermuda.

t'ha schooner Windham, capt. M'Gouty,
left N. Laiidon the iirst of December last,
for Surrraafu, where she arrived in 30 days,
all well: found the market, very bad, wis
not allowed to land any saited provisions,
or toke away any produce but, rum and mo-
lasses, and tliat very high. Left that port,
a i.l tried the markets down to Demerara,
a J found the same order from England re-
i itive to tile American trade : sold part of
tie -stock at Berbice and the remainder at
Oemerara ; then went to Trinidad, and at
last got permission to land all the provisions
to a good market ; but the governor's pro-
clamation, granting this permission, Was li-
mited to the.SlOth of April. The Windham
stopped at the Island of St. Martins in or-
der to sell some candles ; the inhabitants
were much in want of them, but could pay
in nothing but produce.
When the order prohibiting American ves-
frorn landing salted provisions or taking
away coffee or sugar, came out from England
there were a number of vessels in the river
of Berbice, which had entered and received
permits from government to land their car-
goes and to load with coffee and sugar. The
masters and supercargoes of these vessels
thinking themselves safe, sold their car-
goes, and some of them bad partly loaded,
¦when the government took their permits
from them, and ordered them to unload.
A petition and remonstrance against this
arbitrary measure was presented by the mas-
ters and supercargoes, to the gqverhmi at,
but to no effect ; they were obliged to take
out the cargoes, land them on shore, and put
them on board English vessels. The reason
assigned for this injustice was, that the
American government had curtailed the
English trade in America. The undersigned
mentions these ciruumstanctfS, not because
he was one of the sufferers, but for the good
of his country, and to expose the frauds prac-
tised on American commerce in the river of
Berbice. He paid the sum of 300 dollars to
the same noble government, for permission
to go into that place.
The undersigned would observe, that the
order relative to American vessels, was dif-
ferently construed at Demerara from what it
was at Berbice. The government of Deme-
rara decided that the order had nothing to
¦id with vessels which had received permits
to land their cargoes, &c.
In March the coast of Demerara was in-
fested by French and Spanish robbers from
the Maine to the leeward ; they take many
American vessels under pretence that they
have English property on board ; and a ves-
s. 1 may as well be condemned as carried up
the Oronoke liver and cleared.
The whole colony of Demerara was in
arms the lath of March last, on account of
runaway negroes. J. M'GOUTY.
Captain Babbidge, who arrived at New-
buryport on Saturday from Kingston, says,
he read in a Jamaica paper, that a ship of
®4 guns, from New-York, for St. Domingo,
was fallen in with about the rst of April, by
the Squirrel sloop of war, of 18 guns, and
after a running fight, the American succeed-
ed in beating of the sloop of war.

PHILADELPHIA, May 22.
We have received accounts from New-Or-
leans to'the end of last month. The report
of gen. Wilkinson being under arrest, is er-
roneous.
The genera] and governor Claiborne had
received a summons from the president to
attend the trial of col. Burr, and would sail
for the United States early in May.
"New-Orleans papers to the 20th ttlt. have
been received at New York, by the ship Vi-
gilant, Clay, m £7 days from the former
place. A passenger in this vessel informs,
that a few days previous to his sailing, gen.
Wilkinson had dispatched major Sparks,
with a detachment of troops, to Fort Stod-
dert ; but tire Spanish commandant would
not permit them to pass the Mobile, and gen.
WT. had ordered them to return.
By the brig Osprey, from Cork, and the
Washington, from ftochelle, arrived at New-
Y'.'-k, London papers of the 3d of April, and
Paris papers to the jJd of April inclusive,
have been received.
The most important article of intelligence
by these arrivals, is the actual commence-
ment of hostilities between Great-Britain
and Turkey. An attack had been made by
the British squadron on same Turkish ships
near the castles of the Dardanelles, in which
the Turks are stated to have suffered from
the disibarity of force ; but although it is
probable the British had forced the passage,
th« particular issue is left doubtful by the
French accounts.
No event of importance had occurred in
Poland or Piussia, nor had any material
change taken place in the position* of the
Russian and French armies.

VIENNA, Mart* 31.
The conrt, gazette of this day contains an
article which leaves not the smallest doubt
of a close union having been formed between
England ana Russia, against the independ-
ence of the Porte. This article says, that
the squadron of admiral Louis, stationed off
the isle of Tenedos, has been reinforced by
4 three-deckers, and several frigates and
corvettes : that on the 21st of February they
attempted to force the passage of the i)ai-
danelles, which is defended oy .even forts ;
that the action was very warm, and little fa-
vorable to the small number of vessels which
the Turks had to oppose against them. Even
in the midst of the action the English
to negociate, and proposed accommodations
which were still going on at the departure
of the courier. It is believed tint the Porte
will not suffer itself to be intimidated;
Letters from Hungary say that the Rus-
sians have renounced their enterprise against
the isle of Lesiua, in Dahnatia. The Rus-
sian squadron under admiral Siniavin, cruiz-
ing in the Ionian seas, has been reinforced
by three ships of the line and .nine other
smaller vessels of war.
The public funds have not yet risen ; we
know not to what cause this depression is
to be attributed.

MONDAY, MAY 25.
To the Editor nf the Federal Gazette*
Nassau Hall, May 15, 1807.
Sir,
The trustees of our institution met here
on the 7th instant, and the next day the
summer session of the college was'o
Many of >he students who had joined in the
late insurrection appealed before the board
and expressed their regret for the part they
had acted, and made such promises of fu-
ture obedience as induced the trustees to i -
store them to their former standing in their
respective classes. In the evening, the ho-
norable Elias Boudmot, on behalf of the
board, delivered an address to the whole bo-
dy of the students assembled in the public
hall, which was heard with great attention
and respect.
The exercises of the college have com-
menced with the greatest appearances of
good order and submission to the laws.—
Some of those who had been misled, and
who had been prevented by peculiar circum-
stances from coming up at the beginning of
the session, are daily returning to their du-
ty, it is believed under a full conviction of
their late error—Even of those, who thro'
some scruples of a false honor, have not re-
entered the college, the greater part have
very candidly condemned the principles of
the combination, and expressed their regret
for their participation in it. It is remarka-
ble, that of all who took part in this com-
bination, not more than three or four pre-
tend t» say that they had the smallest per-
sonal grievance to complain of in the go-
vernment of the college. But, upon the
whole, the prospects of the institution both
for morals and improvement are evidently
more favorable than they were immediately
before this disorder took place. Every stu-
dent seems to come with his mind impress! d
with the necessity of subordination, and
obedience to the laws. The college recom-
mences its operations with upward:, of an
hundred students, and others are daily en-
tering. ------
Extract of a letter from an officer of the V.
States army, at Fort Stoddi•:rt, to his f lend
in Augusta, dated April 14.
" The Spaniards at Mobille have assumed j
a degree of insolence altogether intolerable
In open opposition to the assurances Which J
we last fall received from gen. Howard of
Pensacola, of the free passage of our vessels
and elects by Mobille, they put our people
to the trouble, risk, aod expense of unlad-
ing every article of their cargoes, and make
them pay a toll of 12 per cent thereon.—
The schooner Victory, of New-York, left
this port a few days ago, will, a Cfli
cotton, for N. Orleans, the duties on which
at Mobille, amounted to 1140 dollars. The
sloop Castor, laden with stores for the ti.: ops
at this place, and goods for the Choctaw
factory, has been detained since the middle
of last month, under the pretext, that some
of the papers are wanting to enable them to
lay the duties."
From the Impartial Rruicw.
Washington, March 31st, 1807.
Gen. Andrew Jackson,
Sir —In my letter of December 3, an-
swering yours, which offered toe service of
a corps of volunteers—1 informed you that
the legislature had then under considtraftun
in what way they would authorize the exe-
cu'ive to accept those patriotic tenders—
They accordingly passed an act of which I
now e.' close you a copy.
Although ttve prinfitf.state of things on
the western side of Srhe Mississippi does
not threaten any immediate collision with
our neighbors in that quarter, and it is our
wish that it shouldiarmam undisturbed until
an amice-able adjusJoietlt may take pl.ic'e ;
yet, as tins does not depend on ourselves
alone, it is prudent to be prepared to meet
any movements which may occur. The
law of a former session of congress for
keeping a body of 100,000 militia in rea-
diness for service at a moments warning,
is stJH in force j but by the act now en
closed the service of volunteers may be ac-
cepted, which will of course render a
resort to the former act unnecessary. In
consequence therefore, of the patriotic zeal
which prompted yonr former offer, I now
solicit your best endeavors towards carry-
ing this act into execution. The persons
who shall engage will not be called from
their homes until some aggression comrnit-
ed, or intended shall render it necessary,
"hen called into action, it. will not be for a
lounging, but for :-r, active, and perhaps,
distant service. ff»,owthe effect of this
consideration in kia llhjg that ardor which
prevails for this service, and I count on it
for filling up the numbers requisite Without
delay. To yourselves I am sure it must be
as desirable as it is to me, to transfer this
service from the great mass of the militia
under your charge to that portion of them
to whose habits and enterprise, active and
distant service is most congenial.
With respect to the organizing and offi-
cering those who shall be engaged within
your state, the net itself will be your guide,
and as it is desirable we should be kept in-
formed of the progress of this busin
must pray you to report the same from time
to time to the secretary at war, who will cor-
respond with you on. all the details arising
out of it. Accept my salutations and as-
surances of great esteem and i i ipecj.
Til : JEFKKBSON.
DIVISION r.iJ
HfeKMITAGE, .April 10, i807.
This moment I have recurved' fro, the
president of the United States, a let:.o i ated
SlSt ultimo, enclosing an act authorising
the president of the United States, to ac
cept the service of a number of volunteer
companies, not exceeding thirty thousand
inert. In the alluded to letter the president
solicits my best endeavors towards carrying
this act into execution —Here my brave
countrymen is an open held to glory, a fit
opportunity for a display of that patruytic
ardor, that on a recent occasion, wa bed
the bosoms of the Invincible Grays, the pa-
triots of '76—and those who, at the alarm
of danger, enrolled themselves, and hade a
tender of their service to defend their
country, from the violence of domestic
foes or foreign aggression. Yes, my fel-
low-countrymen, here is a fit opportunity,,
to immortalize try enrolling y lrsehes
amongst the defenders of your country's
right, and your national dignities- and in
case of aggression by a haughty or ty-
ranic foe, who rrtay. 1 is . sight of the faith
of treaties, and national justii a, and occasion
the sou i os to be heaid in the west;
you will then be ready to convince tyrants,
that.freemen lqye pi ice, but arc brave in war.
Teach . I e motto that gave birth to
our independence, ;' do not tread upon n e "
Those brave sons of Mais, ;' who shall sh
gage will not bs called from their homes un-
tie agression committed oi illtr
shall render it nesessary.. When called into
action it will not be fttt a lounging, b il fi
an active and perhaps distant service." The
president of the Unir d Si, ised of
Itfkrtic ardor that pervades the breasts
of our hardy sons of the west, and justly
calculates on it, for filling no the numbers
requisite without delay—your general is
well assured, that the patriotism of the brig-
ade you have the honor to command, will
realize the expectations' of tiie president.
Your general is confident that that patriotic,
ardor so lately and eminently displayed, has
not abated—the example set by the Invinci-
ble Grays will be pursued, as soon as it is
made known to your brigade that to volun-
teers is to be intrusted the defence of our
country in the day of danger; the number
requisite will be enrolled for this service.
To enable your general to make return to
the president of the United States, through
his organ the secretary of war, the number
ready for frlws doty and subject to his call,
you will without delay make a return of the
volunteer companies in you brigade, enrolled
since your last return to me. From the re-
turns heretofore made from your brigade, I
find some companies whose numbers are not
quite complete, it is desirable that they
should be filled, before the returns iire for-
warded to the secretary of war—you will
therefore order that the captains command-
ing companies not complete by voluntary
enlistment, proceed immediately to have
their numbers idled ami officered as by law
directed, and make etuiai thereof to me.
In organizing and on;. <-ring those who shall
be o: gags i, you will strictly attend to the
act of C ei !' is an old adage,
and one that cannot be too often repeated
in a fr^e government—That the surest me-
thod to avoid war is to be ready to meet it.
Your general therefore recommends strict
attention to decipline, and is confident that
every officer and soldier of'the volunteer
corps, as well as every officer and soldier he
has the. honor to command, will strictly at-
tend to his regular military duty enjoined
up'i, brim bylaw—that (he honorable and
la edible pride that prevades the breast of every
toadofficer & soldier to learn and do his duty,
will be eminently displayed on the present
Acca ion, and when called into service, that
the officers and soldiers of your brigade will
be able to vie in point of discipline, with the
oldest veteran—realize the confidence repos-
ed in us by the general government, and
fully meet" the language of our constitution,
when it declares '• That the sure and cer-
tain defence of a free people, is a weil regu-
lated militia." It ought, and your general
knows,it will !>e the pride of evury officer
Idi. r he has the honor to command,
to know and do his duty.
