We are in the roiite of receiving new^- from Turitey. Tire Russians have made an unsuccessful attack on Candia. The Grand Seignior has sworn on the Al- coran to die rather than deviate from His alliance with his brother Napoleon. He has directed all his vassals to make war on Bng lish property ; and at Smyrna and Salonica to the aoioaitt of eighty millions was seized. April 27. The French army destined for Turkey, has suddenly received a new destination. Mollitoc & Boudett's.divisions (about 35.000) arc to join the grand army in Poland. Gen. Hector has brought this order ; and yester- day Getr. Boudett and suite arrived here,with the 56th. regt. in i4 days from Verona.— Since then the-84th has arrived ; and others are expected. Constantinople, April 1. Gen. Sebastiani does business every day wit.h our ministers. Nothing is done with- out his advice. French officers are conti- nually coming, and are instantly employed. Three hundred cannon, with furnaces, have been sent to the Dardanelles. Provisions are very scarce here. The Asiatic troops on the march to the Danube amount to (j0,000. The Janissaries of this garrison have also gone thither. As the Dardanelles will soon be ill a state of defence to dissipate all fears for the safety of the capital, the Ottoman fleet will pass into the Black Sea, to act offensively against the Russians. Tin-: Elbe, May 4. Letters from Vienna state, that the English fleet, reinforced by the Russians, has again passed the Dardanelles. Portsmouth, May 15. The Montague of 74 guns, captain R. W. Oiway, just taken out of dock, is fitting for a loreign station, with great haste. This brave and -zealous officer is to join the squa- dron nearthe Dardanelles. She will sail in a few days. Commodore Keates, in the Superb, will sail in a few days ; the Superb is quite rea- dy for sea. Several transports here, which have been fitted to receive horse soldiers on board, are ordered immediately to the Downs. Tlu troops for the expedition are to be em- barked instantly from the rivar, -viz. 10,000 foot and 4-000 horse. !' ool. The ship India-Point, Hathaway, from Limerick, via New .Bedford.

We have received London papers to the 18th May, containing Hamburg dates to the loth, (later than those received at N. York by the Monticello.) Extracts from them will be found under our foreign head. At the latest date, the rumors of approach- ing peace were frequent and more stable than rumors frequently are. It was stated that Mr. Stuart, secretary of embassy to Russia, had arrived in London, bringing the propo- sition of z. mediation proffered by Austria to Russia, and by Russia submitted to Great- Britain. -There were, however, some suspi- ons in France, that Austria was playing a deep game. The fate of the proposition was not known. In the mean time the great arirues ia Eas- tern Prussia continued to.be supplied and re-, inferced, and were vhelliitg their sabi.es for deadly work. Most of die prime troops of Rtfesia had crossed the Nieineti,. and joined the grand army. The French also were collecting troops from almost every c.uarter. The part of the army of Italy, 30000 strong, which had been ordered to penetrate imoTur- key, and for the passage of which by Tiieste the consent of Austria had been obtained, had suddenly received a new destination, and was marching across Germany to join the grand aimy iu Poland. Bonaparte ap- peared resolved, if the war continued, to o- verwrieluv his eiu-mies with the magnitude of his riflmbeis'. We have the 71st zni 72d Bulfotihs.-The last, is dated at Finkensteiu, Apr.ilJiS, 1807.. They are not interesting ; but oiie cannot .e'p remarking the uncommon courtly style adopted, when speaking of Sweden.—The Monarch, who had so frequently been denominated " a fool end tnadjnan;" and who gave BoMAPjtKi E no better title than that of Cut-ifcroat General <>f Jiurope, in these late Bulletins w;:s considered the fountain of honor, that the war between the two coun- tries was 'wicked, because unnecessary : and that the Swedes and French ought to strive which should do each other the most gi.od. —The armistice, which it was asserted had been made by order oj the Ssvediih monarch, had been prolonged : Tiiere was, however a report, that the King had refused to ratify the armistice. But it was apparent France and Sweden were about burying the hatc/ict. The Prussian fortresses in Silesia held out with ivonderfalcoiutancy. Their garrisons made fre.1p heard liierevere g-.iar Is placed at tw"o points near New-Orleans for the pur- pose of arresting suspicious persons. Heard etlso that some papers had been seiy.ed. Ge- neral Wilkinson did no; inform thd witness ho .v he obtained letters. J ilin Millij.ui, called. Captain Murray catted and sworn. Capt. Murray qitesljlo-ried by qoU Burr de- posed—He was stationed at Vdh Grow two miles above ' New Orleans, His order frojB governor Claiborne was to stop boats and ex- amine them—to examine papers—He should have transmitted any letters ad dressed to co- lonel Burr or sus. -cted persons to the exe- j cutive at New Orleans. The orders fioin governor Claiborne originated through gene- ral vVil'tmsoii. The orders came always through general Wilkinson. Mr. Edmund Randolph " May it please your honors, the motion which has b;:en so otten attempted to be brought forward is now submitted to the court. It is, sir, for an attachment against general Wilkinson for endeavoring to prevent the free aaurse of testimony-'-—The immeuiate object, sir, is 'to she v that improper practices have been used.—The ulterior purpose how arises af- ter these preliminaries have been gone- huo —I believe, sir, that in cases of this kind where strong suspicion is apparent, that im- proper and irregular means have f;;'en- used with witnesses, the attachment will go be- cause it is absolutely iu the power 'of^the court. Give me leavei sir, to open,the case as it now appears from the testimony before i\e court. This, .sit,, no.lunger depends, as first insinuated upon the testimony of James Knox—It has been enlarged and enforced by the testimony of two very respactable gentlemen, brought forward by gen, Wil- kinson, himself. Sir, if we were to have the same command and range of persons as the counsel for the prosecution ; we should, no doubt, lay before you a full and. com- plete history ef this irregular and highly improper business. I judge sir that this would be our abili- ty—1 am ccitain, sir, we should have" been able to have disclosed a whole series of.the most censurable transactions. But give me leave though in this olace to bestow a tribuw of applause, which I shall be alwayu ready- to acknowledge to the very candid and in- genious depositions of lieutenant Gains and Mr. Graham. The respectable evidence or these gentlemen has confirmed almost 111 e- vcry point the facts narrated by Mr. Knox. Lieutenant Gains, sir, a lieutenant in the army was made a deputy marshal.—A lieu- tenant of the army sir, .mad? a deputy inar- ,li d —1 feel a repugnancy at the idea.—I t el sir, a repugnance at this dangerous alli- ance between the civil and military authori- ty. I am not sufficiently versf-d sir,. in the policy of mixing offices of such an opposite description as the military and civil with each other.—1 hope sir, I shall never have much occasion to be acquainted with the extraor- dinary policy of joining such effiees toge- ther; That a man owing obedience, im- plicit obedience entirely to a military com- mander, is to be placed in a civil capacity and that for the single purpose of (catching and detaining unfortunate men who, may happen to be summoned as witnesses in any particular cause.—Sit, I do not pretend to say what the purport of that paper is by the authority of which lieutenant Gains.act- ed as deputy marshal; but 1 understood its principal object was to enable him to trans- port Mr. Knox from New-Orleans to Rich- mond. It appears to me immaterial sir, to enter into the specifications, of the powei by which a deputy marshal is created in a mili- tary land, for the purpose of transporting by force to Richmond, a man who has been summoned as a witness in New-Orleans- That this power was of a military nature is evident. This outrage, whether it be called a military or a civil outrage, wasenm- mited after Mr. Knox had been .regularly summoned. Sir, what a mass of destruction to the rights of a private citizen is.here connected between the Judge and General Wilkinson. Wilkinson makes an affidavit, stating the materiality of the evidence of Knox.-' This affidavit he voluntarily makes, and sir, after it is made, by what means did it comes in- to the hands of Judge Hall ? who was the carrier of it ? Not Lieutenant Gaines.-^-Ge- neral Wilkinson, sir, was the person who carried this afiidavt to Judge Hall,—And for what purpose, sir, was this done ? To ena- ble Judge Hall to transport Mr. Knox to Richmond. -Who sir, was the executioner of the order founded on tha affidavit of Ge- neral Wilkinson i It was executed sir, not by a civil officer, not by a regular deputy Marshal, but by an officer under the com- mand of General Wilkinson in a strange country, sir, and moreover, on a man alreauy in Jail, who had previously been summoned as a witness.—Thus, please your honor, Ge- 11 -ral Wilkinson has incorporated himself in Hall's acts. But, sir, Wilkinson, has still further connected himself in this business.— Knox was removed from Jail by a military or- der from nn officer under the command of General Wilkinson, put on board of a ves- sel, under the control of General Wilkinson. The same commander in chief, has also drawn money from the military chest to aid him in these transactions —Sir, you cannot vi;-v this case or .any part of it, without vie wing -General Wilkinson :asthe principal actor, without viewing General Wilkinson as a military character, and for a military purpose. Wilkinson assuredly considered himself .as possessing power in this ves-scl.--- O-iserve, sir, if you please, the order which Lieutenaut Gaines Łives. It is a written or- der, in a military sly le delivered to Serjeant Dtutbangh) to lake this man into custody.— , uot, sir, an order of.« deputy Mat- shall.- -Tt was an ord>r from Ii%utf&.i»t: Gilines to a S-ijear.t iSnder his cauinia::ct, to ttke possession of Mr, Knox, li 1. so ..uptui'i,, that no per1,.;is.;bn was giv- e"n for peri-i.s on -board the ve-Fe! to go on shine, hot tiui'ti^.i Geritr.-.l VV ,;:.'.., .:¦. The spirit of Wilkinson, sir, has spread it, self through the whole of this busU&ss—*tha genius of Wilkinson is apparent in every stage of the transaction. J could be at 110 loss, at sill, whe.i 1 read the k-tter of tike at- torney general, to pnC-.-ive the cause that ju- duced the attorney to put so many suhpu - nas into his poss->v..,-i. Sir, is il not a iutle singula that', subpoenas in a,criminal casa should'be contiued to the oornffiander it chief of the army ? Does it not seem to teii ¦ hirhj that he was to use those suhps&Oasi with some degree of military autiuiiiy '. . Why did gen..Wilkin nn teH Air.

It is immaterial sir, in what order these tilings took plana—If is certain tl.ey took place—some .times we have seen hun all ; softness, at other tirr.es all severity. Sir, I beg the court to deduce from these facts the conclusii.n I am abaut to state, which is that Wilkinson caused the arrest and imprisonment of. Mr.'KiTox. That Wilkinson executed it—That this too was done for the purpose of ecmpclTiRc. Knox U> give evidence.

It is rcaiiy a bard caia sir, that a man,is tp be considercti at one moment as a witness and the next momeiit to be-regarded as a criminal. I\,cts kl.-sa sir are'freed with respect lo gen. Wilkinson. But it may be asked what motive Wilkinson could have had for this conduct. XIai jlot general Wilkinson sir been termed Sri* of" the pivots, if n t the only pivot on v. this prosecution ¦ turns. The presccution sir, was not hazarded until the arrival of general Wilkinson—N.k a single witness was sent into the grand jury until he camp; t)xj grand jnryhadtowaitscveiai W6eks for hisar- rival.—-Sir, we have already had occasion to notice the stake nhichgen. Wilkinson lvasia the issue of this business.—Sir, the truth is the names of Burr and Wilkinson are iwr antipodes to each other by the act of W-jL. kinson himselt. Wilkinson is convinced Le never will regain his tneredian of brightness unless he can thro 1 Mr. Burr into darkness. Like some mock God he must lad Tr >m bis imaginaiy glories, tumbling amid truins and into a chaos of rubbish which he himself has occasioned.—-Thus, sir, we havi estgjj. lished wbat general Wilkinson lias done, and have established also his motives-' Give me now leave to shew, .sic, that ail these amount to a contempt of court- Mr. Rii>.d)!fih. then-road several passage* from Uavvkin's, to prove, it ~.vas a.ways re- commt-iidid that no nctdless iui.ee shonld l-e used in making arrest, and that every sp-> cies of uupecessary force on t.-ie cohrpetluig of witnessi-sj to attend, iu order te ; ; , di positions, was deemed by Haw kin's a coii*- tempt of court. " Wlmt would havf been the language of Hawkin's (said Mr. li.indolph) in tiri where we see a man who had been regulai'y summoned, dragged before a person w called a magistrate, coiripeiU-d by this ma- gistrate to give bail for appean.tu.i- rieji in an enormous sum, and thus done w-Jthopt the shadow of a cause or the pretence of a crime, afterwards-, by this same magi, committed to jail in a sultry <•• felons ane negroes ; th iaken .p.ul by trm arm of military autln " •/, escoited by a military guard, and piactdin'the hands of a gentleman, who, although a military omcejrj was vested with the singular power of a di- puty marshal, by this same jud^e, loi tl.(» express purpose of this tyrannical act. gentleman too, this officer of ttr a ,.iy ... deputy marsh:-.!, was under the eonima.id of General Wilkinson.
