curate surveys made, of the principal
directions within the limits prescribed
by law, fixed upon the following points,
which left out Union-Town and Wash
ington : From Cumberland, by Evan
Gwinn’s and Jesse Tomlinson’s, and
near the mouth of Rogers’s run, to Red
stone; from thence, through Bridgeport,
(which is separated by a creek from the
upper end of Redstone) to the Ohio ri
ver near the lower point of Wheeling is
land. A road on tins route would run
about 2-t miles through Maryland, 81
through Pennsylvania, and 12 through
Virginia.
During the late session of the Legis
lature of Pennsylvania, the President
■applied for permission to locate the road
on the route selected by the commission
ers. On the 18th of Match, the House
oi Representatives passed, and trans
mitted to the Senate for concurrence, a
-bill authorising the President of the U
iiited States to open the road through
that part of Pennsylvania 1\ ing between
Cumberland, in the state of Man-land,
and the Ohio river, u provided, that tin
route reported by the Commissioned s In
so altered, as to pass through Union
J. own, in the county of Favette, and
Washington, in the county of Washing
ton.”
V hether the Senate has concurred,or
altered the^ll ; or whether it lies over
for the consideration of the next Legis
lature, remains to be seen. It is beli v
ed that the President will not alter the
route.

BURR.
From NATO IF.'/., Feb. 17.
On Tuesday morning last, a negro
hoy, the property ol Doctor Cummins,
of Bayau Pierre, came to the house of
M r. \\ illiam Fairbanks, near the mouth
of Cole s creek, and inquired the road
to this city. He was riding the same
horse that ( ol. Burr rode from Wash
ington, and was also w airing his surtout
coat. Mr. F. immediately stopped anti
examined the hoy, and nicelv stitched
in the cape of the surtout, he found the
following note:
II you are together, keep together,
i and I w ill join you to-morrow night;-—
In the mean time put am. vour arms in
I perfect order. Ask the hearer no qties
tions, hut tell him all you may think f
'I' '. ”1. to k nf’w. He does not k now that
this is front me, nor where I am.
“ c. t. & i). f.”
Besides the above note, the Boy had
a puss, and an open letter, on private
business, directed to Mr. Douglass, of
Concordia. Mr. 1* airhanks thought it
necessary to s< cure him, and send him
to the Governor, who immediately had
all Col. Burr’s adherents who were in
the city, f>.> in number, arr-sted,and
kept under military guard for 2 ' hours
when they were s t at liberty. All their
boats at the river were also sei/. <1, and
a guard placed over them ; they were
examined next day by the Governor,
and no military stores of any kind being
found, they were discharged.
