GENERAL WILKINSON.
Mr. Pearson said that during the last session of
congress a committee hud been appointed by this
house, to enquire into the conduct of brigadier gen.
Janies V\ ilkmsua; hut from a part of the report,
which Ire read, the house would recollect that
the committee had not brought their investigation to
a conclusion. In order to perfect what had been
thus commenced, he moved the following resolu
tion: „
Resulted, TJhat a committee be appointed to en
quire into the conduct of brigadier general James
Wilkinson in relation to his having at any time,
whilst in the service of the United States, rorruptly
received money (riftu the government of Spain or
its agents, or in relation to his having during the
time aforesaid, been an accomplice, or in any way
concerned with the agents of any foreign power, or
with Aaron Burr, in a project against the domini
ons ot the king of Spain, or to dismember these U*
niied States. And that the said committee enquire
generally into the conduct of the said James Wilkin
son as brigadier general of the army of the United
Stales: That the said committee have power to
send lor persons and papers and compel tbeir at
tendance and production, aod that they report the.
result ol their enquiry to this house.
Mr. P. said he would barely remark that having
been a member ui the committer at the*last session
he was well convinced that the committee bad not
diawn their investigation to a conclusion ; for al
•ho' he had studiously avoided conversing on this
subject, or communicating with any one iu relation
to it, yet evidence unsought for had come to his
knowledge, winch bad nut been before the commit
tee, and which, if to he relied on, he deemed mate*
rial to the investigation. *
