TO SM r.XCULMCT,
GEX. JAMES WILKINSON.
Sir,
The recent arrest of Aaron Purr, has
we hope, dissipated the dangers which
have menaced the peace and safety of this
city. We therefore beg leave to congra
wc oiHcnmncure oi tne
■wicktd plot, and to present you oar ac
knowledgments for the protection vou
have afforded us. Spectators of the diffi.
cultiea and embarrtssmenu, by which
■we have seen you encompassed, wo be.
lieve that a knowledge of forts and cir.
■cumstances,, as they have really occur,
red, will satisfy every Unprejudiced per
son, that the decisive steps, to which you
resorted, in a critical,asorbent were not
only justifiable, by the extremity of the
Mae, but were essentia! to cur preserva
tion. ,Vj;.v , ,
We are not surprised at the alarm, nor
do we condo mil the sensibilities which
a w«re excited by the' MCsmuxUnary jtfet*
sores, which a sense of .public danger
compelled you to adopt, because the
rights and liberties of an American citi*
ten, cannot be tbo sedulously guarded J
but we ere persuaded, that in rhe instance
which has given origin -to this address
your conduct has been loyal, dutiful a d
patriotic. And that When your motive*
•re made manifest by a fair develop*,
ment of the transactions which have en
gaged vour attention in this city; the
impartial and enlightened part of the
world, will concur with, us la acknow
ledging your merits and services.
We lament the domestic affliction* 1
which press upon vou j and hrg yen to j
accept our best wishes for your future ,
fame, prosperity aod happiness.
‘, ’' Answer.
New-OrUans, March 22, 1807..
Gentlemen, , j
i oeg you 10 accept my gratetui ae- *
knowledgements, for this Vert friendly
and honorable testimony of your appro
bation. . I
Called hy iAriout circumstances, to
offer myself a victim to the service of my
country, if in roy zealous exertions to a
»<rt a nstion.il calamity, I have been
compelled to anticipate the tardy pro
cess of the law, or tofreach thoga tatv
ertd institutioai, to which freemen cling
as tba rock of their salvation; I hope I
ahall be acquitted by the candid of all
sioistar motives, and that it will be be
lieved I am ready to embrace the sever
est penalties which justic may exact or
Policy can demand—-even to the devo
wm of that life, which 1 had staked on
the issue. .'V' ,
Atriahould-the measures which the
exigeAftjap of the moment imposed on
niv, hark violated the feelings of an in.
nocsot citizen, it would gratify mv pride
to acknowledge the wrong, which a man
of hondr ttt ask from his fellow.
The approval of my conduct by those
who were the spectators of it, by s body
of gentlemen, who comprise the wealth,
weight and influent e of this city ; next
to the tppUuae of my own breast, and tht
justification of that high authority, to
which I am immediately responsible, will
recoin pence me for the past and consols
me for the future. \ Your sympathies for
*hy domestic olisfbrtunes, alleviate say
sorrows and excite tbs liveliest cSMtjoo*
of gratitude. May your happiness ami
t1*—
prosperity be uninterrupted, and long,
very long may it be before you are taught
by a similar affliction, how to estimate
the awfferings 1 have experienced.

NO longer under your control—no

rad regardleia of any injury which you,
as a man, in j'our infuriated moments
may attempt to inftitr, (by yourself or
yonr parasites) we trill occasionally de
scend to notice your too frequent opprea*
siona, and lug you unwillingly into pub
lic notice—You may rest aaadred. Sir,
that we will be guilty of no scandal—we
will publish no libels 3 bat we will give
such facta, such dartining facts, as shall
leare no doubt on the minds of the most
sceptical, of your want of sincerity and
attachment to your country. We believe
that yc shall be able to show, that your
every measure ia this country wi* cat-1
culgted to further the schemes of Cot.
Burs*, and that every information which
you gave the government relative to the
treason, was the effect of sheer necessi
ty, to save yourself from the odium and
disgrace which must inevitably attend
your coaduct. We will content our
selves to day, with propounding a few
queries to you, to which we ash candid
end explicit answers, when you treat
leisure.
l)o vo« recollect S gerieral order last),
ed by Gen. Wayne, prior to his death,
commanding the seizure of Tbomas
Power, whenever (band at any post or
plate, where American troop* were
stationed ? and can yon inform u* why
»uch an order was issued ?
Do von recollect the seizure of the
said Thomas Power, by the late CoL
Hamtrmmck, tinder the authority of that
order, (after Gen. Wayne’* decease)
and yonr releasing and sending him to
New* Madrid, with all circumstances at*
tending it ?
Can you tell the reason why Ceti.
Washington directed Otm Wayne to
keep a watchful eye over you, and en
deavour to detect any treasonable con
spiracy in which you might be engaged ?

General James' Findlay, Receiver of
Public aaonies at Cincinnati, bas been
robbed to a large amount—upwards, it
Is said, of forty thousand dollars. The
robbery waa committed bv Charles
[ Vsttier, a very wealthy Frenchman, who
resides In Cincinnati, and a mulatto
; servant of gen. F. The former with the
assistance of the Utter, had procured
r kevs to be made fur nearly all the locks
about the Receiver’* house. They are
• both in prison, which is strongly guar
ded •, fears being entertained that a re
scue will be attempted.
From a late LtnJon Print.
The colanv of Botany-Bay is advan
cing gradually into* great mart for the
British and Hast India produce. It is
expected that the colonists of that settle
ment ma\ be shortly able to furnish from
hides and won), hemp and flax, their
share in the Southern Whale Fishery,
and from the part they take in the fur
trade between India and the north west
coast of America, export sufficient to
repay for r.M the imports which the pro*
gresd of file colony demands.
There were imported into the port of
London last week, from Canada, the
following skins, vim. {06,000 bearers,
125,000racoon, 54,000 marten, IS,000
otter, 15,000wolf, 5,900cat, lOOObesr,
15,000 minx, 10,000 (bx, 2,300 wolve
rine, 15,500 musquash, 216,0Q0 deer,
lOOclk, and 6oo pounds weight of cas
tor.
The trade for fora to the north west
coast of America is entirely, or almost
entirely, in the hands of the citizens of
the V. States. India and China are the
places of sale for the furs, and ft proves
s lucrative branch of commerce. It is
thought this trade might he shared by the
British subjects* Our Canada for trade
is profitable, as also that of the Hadson’s
Bay Company. „.
