NOVEMBER 535. PEACt or - rxt MISSMIPPI.—A . letter from Nat tit , z, deed Ozlober 10; states, (hat the Natchez and ttoops were disbanded, the Spaniards having re-crossed the,Sabine. It there be any justice in the suspicions which hive been attached to Gen. WILKINSON, is there not some reason to fear that this arrangement is the result of a compromise, Or rather treacherous Understanding, foreboding evil to the interests of the. Union ? , . It roust be very gratifying and flattering to the fiends of Mr. JEFEERWti; to know that Tom PAINE 1'; oiie of his mot zealous defenders in the demo cratic Papers of, New York and Philadelphia: S'omefurtherParticulars of Col. BURR'S Treason". - -- Yariousinsinnations have appeared concernips the movements' of Col. BURR. We have heard 0-state ment from Gen. EATog; Low in town, Whicll, he . gave in a considerable circle, with no, injunctions of secrecy, as follows : That early last winter, at the City of Washington, Col. BURR opened to him 4 projet of revolutionizing the Western Country; separating it from the Union ; establishihg a Monarchy there, of whieit he was to be the heade organizing a force on the Mississippi, and extending conquests to Mexico ; and proposed to give him (EAToN) a distinguished military com mand. EATON felt indignant at the proposition, con sidering it an insult to his , honour ; but thought better to conceal his feelings than to manifest resentment ; and he staered BURR to betray, his whole scheme. BURR had, the preceding season, made a - tour through the Western Country ; had procured accu rate charts of every important position on the waters tor the Mississippi, and of the country extending to Mexico ; had formed an intercourse with sundry fo relgoers of influence in the Spanish territory, and, to gether with some persons on the Ohio and the Miss's , sippi, had fixed on a plan of operations. BURR painted to EATON the injury, he had suffered from certain ob set': winswhich had been made on the floor of the lion,• of Representatives, concerning -his operations in Afrk-a, and fromthe delays,of Government in ad justing, 'his claims for expenditures on the coast. — Here was an opportunity to indemnify himself. A serration of the Union Would eventually take place, and that country would become independent :of the Atlantic States. It was a right they inherited from constitution, anti Natore had situated them peculiar ly fur the enjoyment of it. The present moment , favoured the measure. -There was no energy in the Government to be dreaded and the divisions of political opinions throughout the country was a cir cumstance of which he would profit. There were very many' enterprising men among us, who apired to something beyond the dull pursuits of civil life, and who would volunteer in this projed. And the • vast territory which offered to adventurers, and the, mines of Mexico, would bring strength to his stand ard from all quarterS. He did not doubt but that in ducemt nts Might be o'ered to the army to embark - With him—double pay and double rations. A pro- , sped of plunder, and the ambition of achievement, wtiuld do much with garrison soldiers. E. satisfied himself that BURR w as resolute in the projed,and put on expedieats to defeat his views without ex- . posing fads. He accordingly Waited on the President, and used 4. 1- le freedom to mention Mr.BURR as a suit- V . l;le person to condud our - negotiations at Loudon or Madrid. The President seemed to express an appre hen sio - n that the confidence was too high. E. thought • that BURR, when put on his hooour, would act with fidelity ; his capacities were unquestionable—and , iiignificd that if he remained in this Country he would becothe dangerous.. The President did not under stand this insinuation. 'E. expressed himself plainly, that if, B. were, notdisposed,d; we should, within 18 Months, have an insurrection, if not a revolution, on the water of the Mississippi. . The President said, " he had too much confidence in the information , integity, and attachment to the Union of the people if that country to -adopt an apprehension the kind." No farther conversation Was here had upon the subject. But E. took leave, - -waited upon two or three Gentlemen of Congress, and 'detailed- the whole plan of BURR. They all agreed that thefdlow deserved hanging ; but thought the projed too shy - merieal, and BURR'S circumstances too desperate, to give it the twit of serious consideration. E. said or heard no more of the affair till lie was informed of En r it's movements on the Ohio, when he spoke pub licly of the fads. Within a few weeks a lett& was received by a . young Gentleman in Brimfield from his friend in Blarietta, stating that Colonel Boaz had, •by his agents, contracted for the building at that place of l fr s or 20 boats constructed for the navigation of those Waters ; and he had otiCredcomtnissions to sundry enterprising yOung men of that vicinity, for a secret Expedition, which promised great advantages to that. Country. Bos-rox, Dsc. Burt.—At the Di'striA Court of the United States, held in Kentucky, dur ing the last month, Mr. - DAvis, Attorney-General tOr that Distrid, made the ,following affidavit, viz. ‘""rhat he was in pesseision of the most satisfadory evidence, that AARON Buua, Esq. late Vice-Presi dent of the United States; had formed an assoeia fiod for making war against Spain, invading Mexico, and faaning a distal - et Empire in the Western Country ; that he was raising forces nod purchasing the necessary provisions and :stores for that purpose." After whieb Mr.-DA-els moved the Court, that the said AARON rt..; as be arrested. Mr. &lax was at Lexington w hen this motion - , was made, ( and receiv ed intelligence of- the .transaction in less than thre'e hours atier it took place. He hats, probably, escaped. Messrs. SMITH, BLAIER, BURROWS, and the Members of the Blitish Fadory at,Harnburgh„ were On the Bth ordered to prdeeed to Verdun, hut their departure Was suspended till the :ch.—They:bad not; him'evtr, been ordered off on the, }WI. • We have already stated that Glanville, a Shrop sliireman, started on Friday morning, at seven o'clock, at the 14th mile-stone, on the Bath road, to go to the 85th, and back to the . 14th, a distance.of 142 miles, in 30 hours. He was backed for 80 guineas, and the odds were two to one against him. - He went 'off at a brisk walk, and for two miles together he broke into a shuffling walk, at the rate of Six miles an hour. His . first stoppage was at Twyford, at which place he ar rived and took a bason of soup prepared for him; at five minutes past ten o'clock. He stopped about five minutes at this place, 34 miles from town, and, re freshed again at Marlborough, and arrived at the 85 tli mile-stone at ten minutes past eight o'clock in the evening. This half of his jOurney was performed at . something less than five miles and a half an hour. The pedestrian returned a few i - niles on his way back, and refreshed hiMself on a bed between two blankets for about an hour and a half, and arrived at Reading at a quarter past six o'clock on Saturday morning.---He had now twenty-five mile's to perform in five hours and three quarters, and he appeared a good deal fatigued. After reclining in a. chair for about twenty minutes, and drinking half a pint of mulled wine, he renewed his laborious task.; an& arrived at his jour ney's end at a quarter befbre 'one:o'clock, and won, With difficulty,, by a quarter of an hour ; he was at tended the whole of the way by two horsemen. A young man, a porter in the Borough, who ran over the three bridges on Sunday last. yesterday started again, at an increased distance ; he being in this case obliged to go down to the Marsh-gate, at Lambed], and by the NeW Cut, to and past Mr. ROWLWND HILL's Chapel ;' an increase in distance df a mile at least. The former, in the nearest way, he performed in 27 minutes. arid a half; the allotted _time was 30 minutes—this - in near 28 minutes and a half. Considerable sums were lost and won on the occasion, and the knowing -ones were fairly taken in. A Poney Match was run also yesterday. The parties were of Lambeth, one a butcher, the other a baker; Abe baker's poney beat about 140 yards a . - head. It was ran to miles on the Croydon-road, and in a very short time. HIGH TlDES.—Saturday the Thames sgain rose considerably higher than on the preceding day, at Rotherhithe, Lambeth, and Milbank, ag well as at 'the Isle of Dogs, where serious injury was occasion ed by the inundation. Near Lambeth horse-ferry a sow and twelve pigs were drowned. At Hampton, Sunbury, Chertsey, and similar placeS near the banks of the Thames; the whole of the country was, under water ; an 4 Kingston and Putney bridges were for a, time nearly impassable. The whole of the Scotch Coast has-suffered much during the last and preced ing week, from the unusual height of the tide. On Friday the tides rose to such a height in Ips wich, that most of the streets were inundated. The water was two-feet deep near St. Peter's Church ; and the common quay was nearly overflowed. Saturday, at Marlborough7street Pi - I - lice Office, a man named Tomkins, who resides in Bartibury ' street, St. Giles's, was committed for re-examination on a charge of killing, his wife in a drunken affray on Friday night. At the same Mile a young woman of very respeaable appearance was committed for -trial for stealing a 'silver watch from the apartments of Lady with whom she . was on a visit, and,pledg ing it with - a pawnbroker. The evidence wts de cisive. A private examination of the supposed murderers cf the unfortunate 'Mr. STEEL took place on Friday, in Worship street, at which only the brother of Mr. STEEL was permitted to attend : the examination of Ilailicht, the accorupliee, was, for the first time, taken on oath : the Magistrates expect to trace the hat and boots of the deceased, as having been sold to a .Tew by a woman who cohabited with one of the prisoners. On C' . ',Urns Day a most melancholy accident . happened at Bangor, in Wales. Several Tersons. •Who bad been passengers in. the Chester coach, on their way to Ireland, entered a boat, to the number of eighteen, to cross Bangor Ferry; when, by a heavy squall of wind, the boat upset, and sixteen were . drowned, mostly " youn ,, Gentlemen, going to pay a visit to their relations during the recess trout their scholastic labours in England.

The Duke of Richmond's once-proje&ed very much approved plan for an extensive military:build ing on the situation of the late Sir Gregopy Page Turner's mansion, -on Blackheath, is, we under stand, again. spoken of. Ms; Grace, we believe, pro posed that 'healthy and appropriate spot for the Ca-, lets of the Royal Artillery Corps ; but.the , plan was at that time, from some local consideration, relitt quiShed. The Board of Admiralty have, now fixed upon it as the best possible situation fOr.barracks for the 4'th division of Royal Marines, and - from the cir eurnstancesof .the foundation remaining entire, and .there being a great quantity of stone on the ground, .the whole will be completed in a few months, with more advantage, and at less expence to GOvernment, that any other barracks in the kingdom : although they are to be ,upon so extensive a scale as to be equal to receiving the whole strength of the division; which is about 000 effeaive men. Its proximity to the Dock-yanti of Deptford and Woolwich (being a medium distance between the two), is another great objet of desideratum, as it was a pi imary objea of , • the division to do the duty of b - oth yards in time of peace. It - is to be regretted, that ever since the es tablishment Of the- division, so long a time should be suffered -to elapse without making some arrange-: ments for their accommodation.. The- evil and in- co nvenience whiCh arise out of . so disorganized an establishment is very great, both t 6 Officers and men: the scattered and unconnected situation of both is prejudicial to good order, and is known to injure the recruiting of the division, and with respea to economy it is none : for the expence Government is at for lodging and billeting the. men' will in a short • time amount to the expence of barracks. . , street, London, ribbon-weavers and co-partners,.at tlvelVe, at Guildhall. lan. 31.
