AMERICAN PAPERS. (YEOM THE RICHMOND ENQUIRE:I.) AARON BURR, Ex-Vice-President of the United States, is now in this City, guarded as a State Pri- Saner. Colonel BURR was apprehended in the Tombig bee country in the first days of March (perhaps the 2d), in the - following manner. A Gentleman, Whose name is represented to us to be PERKINS, - was at a public house in a village , in that country, a few miles.(perhaps 18 or 20) from the Spanish line. He was in company with the She .riff of the county. • . ,About eleven o'clock at night a Gentleman rode up to the door, and inquired . for the house of a Major, who lived in the neighbourhood. He was followed by another, who turned out to.be his corn panion. The strangers were told, that the house of the Major , . they inquired for was at souse distance from the tavern; and that they would have to cross a water-course, which had been swollen by the waters, and might be dangerous of access. 'The strangers, however, persevered in their intention, and left the door of the tavern. Mr. PERKINS was surprised by these singular ' movements.: That men, at that late hour of a cold night, should .leave the comforts of a tavern, acid explore a dangerous road, of which they were pro- Aessedly ignorant, was a source of considerable asto :fiishment. It naturally led to some speculation upon the cliara&er of the strangers, and he could not start any rational explanation of their mysterious condual, but that they were robbers who intended to pilfer the Major's house. He deterthined, if . possible, to prevent their design ; and prevailed' upOn his com panion (the Sheriff) to accompany hitn' to this scene of meditated-robbery. When theyirrived the Major was from home.-- -One of the Gentlemen was in the housel. the other had retired to the kitchen to warm • his shivering .limbs. The first glance which Mr. P. caught of this visitant of the kitchen, convinced him that the mysterious stranger was no other than Col. 13Uai. Whether Mr.P. recognized him from a previous acquaintance with his person, or from the fire ofhis eye, the shape of his face and person so welt cor 7 responding to the description which he hag received of him, the Gentleman with whom we. had 'con versed was incompetent to inform us. Certain it is, Mr. P. suspe&ed that the stranger who stood before him with his white.hat slouched over his lace, and with all the habiliments so perfetily different from .1 those in which he commonly %appears, was the very Irian whose name had rung for several tnonths one corner of - the,United States to 'the other. It.was A. Burn:. Mr. •P. determined to arrest him. He repaired to Fort Stoddart, an the Mobile, and prevailed upon 'Lieut. iGAiSTES (tile Commandant at that Fort) to accompany him with.a small file of thidiers.—ln, the mean time, Col. Bt as had sent back ,his compabion (by the name of ASHLEY, whose name was men tioned in our last Papers, under the Frankfort bead) for some purpose unknown; and requested , his 'new companion, the Sheriff, to shew him ,on the way to the ,s.)',,anish.Line. . , ~o n. the road the}- met the file. of soldiers ac- , companied h; .

Colonel BURR is said to have c ian4' 'liis hridle,• and clasping his hands together; to have uttered some: eiactilation,of vehement emotion what that was -we --• . • can4Ot trii44 - mr.:eives:to. describe.

On Wednesday evening, about 5 o'clock, they. arrived at Fredericksbnrgh: Here they'rnet with a Gentle-.: man from Washington, who was instrueled to order them to Richmond : and on last evening the stage conveyed ilietn;,to our ,city : .001011e1 BUHR . , and , pis escort of seven men. The.' Gentle Mao V,'ho met them at Fredericksburgh has accompanied Ahern tp" this place, and hears a communication from the Ex . -' eCutive to the United States Attorney for • this dis tria. He is, condufted to this City, to undergo anexa mination befbre the Chief Justice MarshaL Several circumstances concur to recommend . the choice of this Tribunal the . most material of them is, that the 01, , r t ACS , of Treason on which be may be charged was most probably committed at Blanner: basset's Island, in the'River Oltio . , and Within the limits of Virginia. His crime, therefore, will fall within the jurisdiction of the Federal DistriEt Court uf Ois Stke. He -dill be 'brought before th e ;hest judicial Minister known in -this Country, the Chief Justice of the United States. AARON BURR stands accused by the United Stares on two grounds : Ist. 'On a charge of Treason, or levying War against the United States. On a charge 6f preparing an Expedition against the Colonies of Spain, a Natfon with . whom:the United States are at peace. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM 'A RESPECTABLE GEN- TLEMANIN•FREDERICKSBURGII, VIRGINIA, DATED MARCH 27. (‘ AARON BURR arrived here last evening, guard ed by nine men, who have condu6ted him about -1200 miles, from some' part' of the . Mobile River, where he was taken by an Officer of - GOvernment under Governor WILLIAMS'S Proclamation : the party had been here but a very short time when they were met by a Messenger fromthe President, direal ing the Officer who commanded, on receiving his message, to change their route immediately; and proceed to Richmond, and there deliver their pri soner to GEORGE HAY, Esq. Attorney for the United States : they left this place in the stage, this morn ing, .and . will.be in . Richmond in the evening. How very different was this man's entry last evening, from what it was seven or. eight years ago ! Then 'he came to attend the Grand. Caucus at Mon ticello, by which the Federalists were turned out and 'himself elevated to the Vice-President's Chair. He 'was now Meanly- and dirtily dressed, guarded like a felon, and_ apparently much depressed- and sunk• in spirits. . The presumption is that he is sent to Richmond for to be tried at thedistria Court here, which will sit in a few days. it is said his first movements were about Blannerhassees Island, which is in this State, and of eour=.e the trial will' take place where the offence was committed."— (Coin. - • MAILS.
