ofthe Russian arfty is enormous ; it has not

that the number exceeds a hundred and

What remained to the king of Prussia is
conquered. That unfortunate prince has
only in his power the country situate be-

After (he turtenis of blood which have
lately flawed in the battles as sanguinary as
frequently repeated, I could wish to assuage
the evils ot this destructive war, by propos-
ing an armistice before we enter into a con-
flict, into a new war, perhaps still more ter-
rible than the former. I request you, prince,
to make known to the chiefs of the French
si my this intention on my part, of which
t*,;e consequences may have effects the more
salutary, as a general congress has already
. be?n proposed, and may prevent a useless
effusion of human blood. You will after-
wards transmit t» me the result of your pro.
ceeding : and believe me to be, with the
most distinguished consideration,

Extract of a letter from Boston, of the l%tA
August, 1807.
" I have seen a good deal of the late cor
respondent from HalUaX, which mentions
the attack made by she Leopard upon our
frigate the Chesapeake.
<* In one letter there is a positive denial
of the fart, that the deserters claimed were
Americans ; of whatever country they were,
they were declared not to be on board, tho'
they were really found in the Chesapeake
when she struck. It is allerlg^el by the
British officers, that all the men were Bri-
tish deserters, and that one of them had ac-
tually received a large colonial bounty, rais-
ed by the province of Nova Scotia. All
this occasions much stricture on certain ex
pressions contained in the president's pro-
clamation, in which it is asserted, that the
e rormity was not only without provocation
or justifiable cause, hut Vu >j committed ivith
the tea; wrl purpnte of t kilgiy fcfCe from
a ship of ivnr of the Unid States, a pa t
of her creiv ; and th t no circumstanc might
be Wanting to m rh tts character, it had
bic» i'RI-.vi.vusly A&C1H.TA1KED that the seamen
demanded rd between the two countries, which
you and I would mott anxiously avoid ;
and perhaps there is more ground fojr this
suspicion th.;n we are aware of, especially if
it be true, as it is averred at. Halifax without
scruple, that wh'ile we claim from British
ships the delivery of our deserters, and
threaten to use face if refused, we deny the
sawe measure of justice when the British
demand it of us ; a denial not confined to
common deserters, but to known atrocious
mutineers and murderers, who have taken
shelter in the Unit'd States.''

FRENCH PRISONERS.
Yesterday Judge Houston, the district
judge of the United States, for the district
of Maryland, proceeded in the examination
of the affair of tVie Othello, and took the
deposiiiou of Mr- Harden, a passenger on
board the ship—after which, the judge de-
cided that the crime for which the French
prisoners then in the custody of the Mar-
shal, were committed, wiscommi'ed within
the jurisdiction of the Siaie of Maryland,
and that the the United States' Court had
no cognizance of it.
The prisoners were then committed to the
custody of the sheriff of Baltiino e county,
by Mr. Coale, the register, of tlie city, who
attended agreeably to the request of the
judge, the mayor not being able to attend
on account of indisp .sition.
It is understood t hat Calvert comity : ¦ the
nearest land 1 'the pl;.ce in the Chesa-
peake,w)uiet ie crime wa, e m. aicted,tuere-
fore the court of that couny alone has ju-

tried there.
Extract of a letter from Cafie Francois, dat-
ed 2!3th July, received jier the Admiral
Berkeley.
" I arrived in good health in the midst of
the rejoicings on account of the defeat of
Petiau's army, which was completely beaten
at Gonaives : Some of the ruins of it, joined
to a few fresh troops, were daring enough to
land at Port dt- Paix ; the president, Chris
tophe, surrounded them, and more than 350
of them perished there ; about 70 of them
were brought here prisoners, and a lew are
dispersed in the woods about Jean Rmel,
where ttiev are hunted up like hares. A
few days since Petion very narrowly escap
ed Being arrested". The troops of the presi
dent, H. Christophe, are in possession of
every post as far as the Cul de Sac. 3 leagues
from Port an Prince, where the army is en-
camped ; there is every prospect that Petion
will tie obliged to leu,ve the Island ill le=s
than a month.

" Leogane, Petit and Grand Goave are
in insurrection against Petion, and are
marching against P-jrt an Prince, on one
side, while the troops from the north are in
the Cul de Sac oivthV other side. The
mountains of Jeremie are aUo in insurrection
in favor of the president Christophe. You
may rely on these as facts.''
