TRIAL OF COL. AARON BURR.
Wednesday, May 27.
(CONCLUDED.)
Mr. Wickham regretted that so much time had been consumed; but hoped that the court would acquit them of any intention to waste it; when any illegal motion was introduced by the opposite counsel, he felt it as a serious duty due to his client to resist it with firmness: for his own part he should not forget that he was before the circuit court of the U.S. nor should he so far lose his respect for their discernment as to bring forward motions which he believed to be illegal only to waste the time of the court; that he hoped none but legal evidence would be suffered to be introduced; none but competent witnesses to be heard; and that if this rule was not rigidly adhered to, what was to prevent the counsel on the other side from producing any and every kind of evidence that they pleased?
It cannot be supposed, said Mr. W. that we are afraid of this affidavit; what is in it, which has not been already known and scattered in every loose sheet of a newspaper throughout the U. States? It is not that we resist it in point of fact; but on the ground of principle. We wish two points to be settled; are affidavits to be read at all on such a motion? And at such a crisis of the prosecution as this? And if so, ought they to be read if the witnesses themselves were present? Would it be right, if they were in the next street or the next county? Would it in fact be right if there was time enough to produce the viva voce testimony itself? Mr. Burr had a right to be confronted with General Wilkinson. He had a right to cross question and examine him on all the statements which he has made. The government had power to bring him here. Why is he not here? Ought not some satisfactory excuse to be made for him? He is an officer of this government; and the government might have procured his attendance as well by a special order as by a civil process. Has any subpoena been taken out, enquired Mr. W. addressing himself to the clerk?
The clerk replied, that no subpoena filed up with Gen. W's name had issued from his office; but that blank subpoenas had been taken out.
Mr. Wickham—No one knows, sir. There was time enough to have him here. The mail travels from Washington to New Orleans in 17 days. He might have come; but if he has not, why is not some satisfactory excuse brought forward? We wait, sir, to see this gentleman cross examined.—We want to see him confronted with other witnesses. This is one ground, on which we object to the production of this affidavit.
Another ground is, that according to the decision of the supreme court of the U.S. this affidavit does not bear upon the present motion. Mr. Swartwout, who was said to be connected with Col. Burr, was discharged by them, because this affidavit did not apply to the charge of treason. Are counsel then to be suffered to produce testimony on any subject that they please?—A third objection is, that General Wilkinson does not relate a single act, committed in the district of Virginia;—in Virginia?—no—nor anywhere else. The attorney for the U. S. says, that he will prove the overt act hereafter. But, sir, I repeat it, that the rules of evidence apply not only to the admissibility of evidence, but to the order in which it is to be produced. Let them first prove an overt act, if they can—and then they are at full liberty to prove the color of it.
Again, sir, this deposition is not the best evidence which could be produced, and which the laws require. General Wilkinson speaks of a cyphered letter, and of its contents, as well as he can make them out. Now, sir, where is this letter; and where is the key to it? Why are they not here? Why are they not produced before you? For these reasons, Mr. Wickham hoped that the court would not suffer the affidavit to be read in evidence.
Mr. Hay. We shall not, sir, be carried from our course by speeches, however long or animated they may be.—But, sir, permit me to give those gentlemen a little information. Why talk of the affidavit before you? Do these gentlemen know, that we can positively prove the astonishment, the regret, and the denunciations which escaped from Mr. Burr, when he first heard of the publication of his cyphered letter?—Let them first know what we can prove, before they abandon themselves to their triumph. General Wilkinson's affidavit is the first in the series of our proofs, and it is for this reason that we wish to commence with it.
Mr. E. Randolph. Sir, we do not know what those gentlemen expect to prove. But we do object to the production of Gen. Wilkinson's affidavit from what is already known; we know it to be perfectly inapplicable to the present question. Sir, this species of evidence is directly in the face of our bill of rights and of the constitution of the U. S. "In all criminal prosecutions the
accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law; and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him," &c. Col. Burr then, sir, has a general constitutional right to be confronted with the witnesses against him. Let gentlemen show any exceptions on it, if they can. And what have they done? Why; they have shown here an obsolete, an evaporated affidavit, for which there is no necessity and no law. The law positively declares, that the best evidence is always to be had; that when a witness is attainable, his affidavit is not to be admitted as testimony. We stand, therefore, sir, upon the bill of rights. Gentlemen may, indeed, attempt to evade its provisions, by saying that they can hereafter prove the material act; but I hope that this court will never countenance such illegal proceedings.
The Chief Justice stated, that the supreme court of the U. S. had already decided, that an affidavit might be admitted under certain circumstances—but they had also determined that Gen. Wilkinson's affidavit did not contain any proof of an overt act; that he was certainly extremely willing to permit the attorney for the U. S. to pursue his own course in the order of drawing out his evidence, under a full confidence that he would not waste the time of the court by producing any extraneous matter; but where was the necessity of producing Gen. W's affidavit first? If there was no other evidence to prove the overt act; Wilkinson's affidavit goes for nothing; for so the supreme court of the U. S. have already decided; and by that decision he should have conceded himself bound, even if he had dissented from it. Why then produce this affidavit?
Mr. Hay observed, that there was a great difference between the course prescribed by the court and the one which he would have himself pursued; and that he seriously believed, if he had been left to himself, he would at least have satisfied the court itself that his own course was the best; that as to Gen. Wilkinson's affidavit, it might even now be confronted with witnesses; as Messrs. Boilman and Swartwout were present, and would say whether such & such conversations were ever held, as are detailed in this affidavit; that he was now before an examining court, and not before the petit jury: Why then the same strictness of evidence now as would be required on the trial in chief? That he really believed it was the intention of the opposite counsel, by dint of long speeches to attempt to drive him into in ir course: but that they ought to know he never consulted the counsel opposed to him; and that they would be the last persons in the world whose opinions he would consult on the present occasion:—that he seriously believed, that the evidence which he possessed, would, beyond the possibility of a doubt, convince the mind of the court, not only of the existence of a treasonous design, but of an overt act—and that all that he asked was the liberty of producing this evidence in the order, which he thought best. Is no part of this deposition, then, admissible? not a word?
The Chief Justice observed, he thought no part of it admissible at this time; that Gen. Wilkinson's affidavit either contained proof of the treasonable design, or proof of the overt act; or it related to conversations, which however strongly they might bear upon those who held them, did not bear upon col. Burr.*
Mr. Hay asked how the court was to be satisfied of the contents of any paper, before it was read to them. An affidavit might contain both the proof of the overt act and of a treasonous design. Was such a paper as this to be read under the decision of the court? Or how was the court to know, whether a paper might not contain some proof of the overt act satisfactory to them, unless they had an opportunity of inspecting that paper?
Mr. Wickham. These gentlemen talk of delay; and yet they would produce to this court whole masses of evidence that are perfectly irrelevant to the present question. They declare that they will not pursue our advice; and that we were the last persons whom they would take for counsellors. Sir, we do not ask them. All that we want is, that they would pursue the strict principles of law and evidence. One of the best rules of evidence is the order of evidence. If a man is charged with a crime, must not the deed itself exist, before any testimony is produced as to the intention with which it is done? I
* The Chief Justice observed in a subsequent stage of this business, that an idea had since struck his mind, which he thought it material to state, that he had not recollected that these conversations were said to be held by persons who were said to be authorised by Colonel Burr, and of course that their conversations would bear upon him.
hope that no testimony will be suffered to be introduced, before the overt act itself shall be produced; and I call upon this court to enforce the strict order of evidence.
Mr. Burr observed, that in point of fact it was very immaterial to him whether this affidavit was read or not; that what he particularly wanted, was, that the great principles of evidence should be laid down, which would be equally applicable to this and to all other affidavits. He consented that the court might have this deposition read, if they thought proper.
Mr. Hay. This deposition will prove that it was one of Aaron Burr's objects to seize upon Mexico:—Then if we can prove by some other evidence that this object was connected with an attack upon the U. S. is not this deposition of material importance in that point of view? If both must be proved, does it make any difference which we begin with? If a conspiracy has been planned, of a misdemeanor and of treason so strongly combined, that they are made to go on together, and the accomplishment of the one facilitates the accomplishment of the other, is it not of material consequence to prove the misdemeanor? I have not myself seen Mr. Taylor or Mr. Allbright, but I am credibly informed, that they will prove an armed assemblage of men on Blennerhassett's island.
The Chief Justice observed, that if there was no fact, or no overt act of treason before the court, the court could have nothing to say to the present motion: that if there were no fact was proved, the court could not hear the prosecution: that he should be extremely sorry to waste the time of the court, and to launch into a variety of irrelevant subjects, when there was actually no testimony to prove the overt act itself, and thus to give the court a competent jurisdiction over the case.
Mr. Hay. I am bound, sir, to obey the decision of the court, however much I may lament that decision. I shall certainly acquiesce in their order. If I understand the court—
The Chief Justice said, that he was of opinion, that unless there be a fact to be proved, no testimony ought to be produced. The question before the court was not, whether there had been a treasonable intent, but an overt act. That fact itself must be proved, before there can be any treason or any commitment for treason.
General Wilkinson's affidavit was accordingly put aside.
** Here follow the other proceedings which we have already journalized: the production of Taylor and Allbright's testimony, and of Dubas's deposition, which last was finally rejected by the court.
Fifty Dollars Reward.
RAN away from the subscriber, on Monday the 11th of this month, Negro JOHN, who calls himself JOHN WHITE. but as he is an artful and intelligent fellow, may probably change his name, and attempt to pass for a freeman. John is about 35 years old, his complexion black, has a pleasant countenance, a high round fore-head and about 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, square and well set. He is a blacksmith by trade, and a tolerable good house carpenter, and will probably offer his services in one or the other of the above trades.
Had on, when he absconded, a black fur hat a good deal worn, a round jacket of striped country made cotton, osnaburgs shirt, and a pair of olive colored negro cotton trowsers, but as he has a variety of clothing, will no doubt change his dress. He is given to drink and apt to get intoxicated.
The above reward and all reasonable charges will be paid for apprehending the said runaway and lodging him in any jail to that I get him again, if out of the state, or fifty miles from home—but if within the state or the above distance from home 20 dollars & all reasonable charges.

VIENNA, March 28.
According to the last official accounts from Turkey of the 3d March, there was not only no treaty of peace made between the Porte and the courts of London and Peterburg, but even the negotiations with the English ambassador, Mr. Arbuthnot, were entirely broken off, and the preparations for defence, on the part of the Turks were most vigorously pursued. Whether the English fleet returned to the Dardanelles, and whether as some will affirm, it was forced only by a gale of wind to do so, is not well known yet.
The Turkish fleet which was taken or destroyed by the English, after they had silenced the batteries of the 3 first castles of the Dardanelles, by a most dreadful bombardment, consisted of 1 ship of the line of 84 guns, 2 frigates, and 2 sloops of war.
Sir Sidney Smith was in the year 1799, in Constantinople, by which opportunity he undoubtedly examined the situation of the Dardanelles. The Porte was at this time in alliance with England.
As soon as the English fleet had arrived before Constantinople, vice admiral Duckworth dispatched two fast sailing cutters into the Black Sea—probably to inform the Russian fleet, which lay at the mouth of the Danau near Kilia of his arrival. As all the strong castles on the coast of Europe, as well as on that of the coast of Asia, all along the channel, are in the possession of the Turks, and cannot be taken but by regular sieges, for which the English have not a sufficiency of troops; the English fleet is in a very critical situation; for the Turkish garrisons of these castles, amongst whom there are certainly a great number of Frenchmen, might take it into their heads to fire red hot balls upon the English ships as they pass.
HAMBURG, April 19.
Letters from Memel of the 2d April, mentions the arrival there of the emperor of Russia; he arrived on the morning of that day. Their majesties, the emperor of Russia and the king of Prussia, will in a few days repair to the army. At Memel a corps of Prussians is embarking for Dantzic.
The uncarried expedition against Constantinople is very detrimental to the allied powers.
PARIS, April 10.
By an imperial decree of the 20th March, the establishment of 6 legions of reserve for the interior and for the protection of the frontier & the sea coast is ordered. Each legion is to consist of 5 battalions, each battalion of 8 companies and each company of 160 men. Each legion is to be commanded by a senator and receives but one standard or eagle; their uniform is to be the same as that of the troops of the line.
The first legion meets at Lille, the second at Metz, the third at Rennes, the fourth at Versailles, and the fifth at Grenoble.
By an imperial decree of the 26th March the cities of Brest and Antwerp are declared to be in a state of siege. The senator Abbeville is appointed governor of Brest & senator Ferino, governor of Antwerp.
The inspector general of the military hospitals, Mr. Delgenetier, has received orders to go to the grand army.
The Hamburg papers contain a great number of advertisements of the largest houses, country seats, gardens, &c. for sale in and about Hamburg, which confirms the verbal account, we have had of the total flagration of trade of that great emporium.
PARIS, April 13.
For some days past the political horizon has brightened. The catastrophe with which the Ottoman empire seemed threatened is no more to be feared. The appearance of the English has only served to reveal to its resources, and to awaken its energy. It seems as if they had come under the walls of Constantinople, merely for the purpose of letting Russia, their ally, be acquainted with the disposition of the Turkish people for reconquering their independence.
Until now the temerity of the ambassador and English admiral has already had a most fatal result for the interest of their nation. They have changed the influence which the French owed to the glory of their sovereign, and of their army, into frank alliance, insoluble and superior to all religious prejudices which had prevented the Turks from fighting under the same banners with the French. This alliance, rendering the natural valor of the Ottomans useful, gives to that great body the foul which it wanted. It is the greatest victory France could obtain at this moment for the salvation of Europe. The first result is depriving England, as is were by the drag of a fishing-net, of the immense commerce which it made almost exclusively in the possessions of the Grand Seigneur. The second effect of this aggression is the forming between Persia, Turkey and France a military line of operations directed against the common enemies, from the extremities of Europe to the centre of Asia.
ELBING, April 1.
The Emperor is expected here every moment. There is a great number of cavalry cantoned in the neighborhood of our city, and every workshop is busily employed in working for it. 4000 horses are estimated to have been drawn by the French from the Isle of Nogat; which is, doubtless, one of the finest countries in Prussia. Considerable parks of artillery have arrived from Warsaw, by the Vistula, before Dantzic.
CONSTANTINOPLE, March 10.
ENGLISH EXPEDITION.—The English ambassador, Mr. Arbuthnot, perceiving that he alone could not succeed in negotiating the Grand Seigneur and his ministers, ventured to go himself in person and bring the English squadron with which he had threatened the Divan for so long a time. It was in the afternoon of the 20th of February that intelligence was received here of that fleet, consisting of 7 ships of the line, two of which were 120, three 84's, and two 74's, besides two frigates of 46 and two fire ships, having passed the Straights of the Dardanelles, almost without any resistance, a few hours afterwards it was seen casting anchor 5 leagues from Constantinople.
The appearance of these forces, which found us in some measure unprovided, excited at first an unfavorable sensation upon the minds of the inhabitants. The Divan itself seemed uneasy and irresolute. A great commotion spread throughout the city.
The French ambassador, without suffering himself to be moved by the effects of that crisis, threw himself as it were upon the helm, undertook to inspire courage and confidence, and to drag out an order for defending the city. He succeeded. From that moment the French military obtained every thing, from the good will of the ministry and the Turkish engineers. The people seeing in the morning the disposition which had been made during the night, showed themselves disposed to second this movement of energy.
The preparations for defence could not yet, however, be very considerable. They consisted only in a battery of 13 pieces of cannon, hastily thrown up before Topkana, another battery of 10 cannons placed on the coast of Asia; and lastly, in 4 or 5 small cannons which had been put up in an advanced tower. All this might have incomed the English squadron had it entered; but not being supported by the cross fires of the point of the Seraglio, would have been far from sufficient to preserve the city, the Turkish fleet, the magazine, &c.
Happily the English admiral, though he had with him Sir Sidney Smith and fire ships, knew not how to take advantage of this moment, he suffered himself to be driven into a kind of negotiation which the Porte carefully kept in suspense until she found herself in a situation to repulse every aggression. The dispositions that were making soon put her in a state to raise her tone, and she rejected the odious propositions of the enemy. We had at that time 300 pieces of cannon in battery, mortars and howitzers—three ovens for red hot bullets in full activity, 200,000 men armed with rifles and fusils, and animated with the best spirit, 80 gun ships forming the advanced guard of 9 ships of the line; 6 heavy frigates and 6 corvettes in the road; and 5 large ships front of the fort.
All this has contributed no little to shorten the negotiation. The English admiral judging, no doubt, from these dispositions that similar measures would be taken to shut the passage of the Dardanelles against him, hastened, after having reconnoitred our position, to make his retreat. He has passed the Dardanelles; but the Turkish garrison, animated by the example of the capital, fired desperately from the only battery which time had allowed to erect there. It disabled and took on their passage, and it sunk a powder loaded with ammunition. Four days later, and the enemy would not have come out so easily.
The English ambassador had, in his negotiations with the Divan, demanded as a preliminary, that the Porte should turn away the French ambassador and

the whole legation; that all hostilities should from that moment cease with Russia; that every armament, fortification, and erection of batteries, should immediately be suspended at Constantinople; that the treaty of alliance with England should be renewed; that a treaty of alliance with Russia should be concluded; that an English and Russian garrison should be established at the Dardanelles and in the castles of the Bosphorus; that an English garrison should be established at Alexandria, and a Russian garrison in one of the Morea; and lastly, that there should be put immediately at the disposal of the English admiral, to be employed in the service of Great Britain in 15 ships of the line and 10 frigates, victualled for one year.
After having announced that Mr. Arbuthnot's mission was at an end, and notified the blockading of Constantinople, the English admiral declared that if the above preliminaries were not accepted he would forcibly enter the port, set fire to the town, &c. He has not obtained any thing of his demands and he has returned well convinced, no doubt, that he would not be able at present to come to dictate conditions to the Sublime Porte, with a naval armament of forty sail.
His success is wholly owing to gen. Sebastiani; and it is easy to perceive, by the conditions which the English had come to dictate, from what misfortunes and opprobrium he has preserved the Turks. He is given proof, in this instance, of a courageous presence of mind, character and resolution above all praise. Every Frenchman has more or less seconded him; each of them, on this occasion, made himself an engineer, a cannonier, or a mechanist.
The day after the appearance of the English, a captain du Bois and two captains of artillery of the army of Dalmatia, very opportunely arrived at Constantinople. They immediately went to work and were of great help. Chance brought also the next day a French cannonier that had been driven away from Bagdad through the intrigues of the English; he was immediately put in the way to avenge himself. Every Frenchman was night and day at the batteries.
The Grand Seigneur, the ministers, the janissaries, the cannoniers, and the whole of the inhabitants loudly acknowledged that it is to the French they owe their salvation. And in truth they are treated at this moment with a deference, a friendship, and even a kind of respect, not common on the part of the Turks.
It is not justice also to say, that after the first moment of uneasiness and consternation was over, the attitude of the Turks was very remarkable for its calmness and courage. As soon as the Grand Seigneur had manifested the intention of resisting the enemy to the last extremity, all the ministers, all the grandees of the state, took the immediate resolution to repair each of them to their duty to encourage and excite the nation. They at first stood in the open air, then under small tents, some of them under old sheds, during 6 days, night and day, without leaving it for an instant.
French engineers and officers have just set off for the Bosphorus, for the purpose of determining upon proper spots for batteries. They will go from the one to the Dardanelles for the same object. The Grand Seigneur has given the formal order that every thing determined by the French ambassador should receive an immediate and punctilious execution. From this disposition of his highness, gen. Sebastiani will cause the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus, which are the two keys of the capital, to be put in a state capable of resisting every aggression on the part of England and Russia.
The Grand Seigneur, during the six days the English have been here, has given an example of courage and devotedness the most absolute. He has not gone to rest on a single night. Every morning he would go to encourage the people at work, and would kindly smile on every Frenchman he met. He caused the gardens of the Seraglio to be opened, to have batteries erected there, and had even offered, if it had been judged necessary, to have batteries placed in his Haram.
The city of Constantinople offered on every point an extraordinary spectacle. From the dispositions and the sort of exultation with which the inhabitants were observed to be animated, it would have been a desirable thing that the English should have persisted in their enterprise. Their fleet would never have repassed the Dardanelles.

WASHINGTON CITY,
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17.
DR. FUELL's communications shall appear in our next number.
General Wilkinson has arrived, in the teeth of the hardest assertion of federalism. "He will not, he dare not meet Burr," has for months rung through the land. The falsehood of the declaration adds another to the thousand pre-existing testimonials of the little reliance that ought to be placed on the organs of faction. It is not among the least extraordinary incidents of the times, that while the friends of Mr. Burr and the enemies of the administration have denounced the least freedom of strictures on the accused, they have been most busily engaged in ascribing to general Wilkinson every trait of depravity that can sink the human character. Without investigation, they have not scrupled to charge him with treasonable purposes, with a violation of his oath of fidelity to his country, with being a pensioner of Spain, with the basest ingratitude to a bosom friend, with perjury, and with every species of folly. We shall now see how far these men will be able to substantiate their accusations. Prima facie , and as far as it goes, the appearance of general Wilkinson invalidates the accusation. Had he felt conscious of guilt, he might have been expected to have stood aloof from investigation. On the contrary he meets it where the severest ordeals are in preparation, which able and cunning men can devise. Let his accusers remember that the eyes of the world are upon them as well as upon him, and that justice will, without partiality, pronounce the final award.
The official statement of the whole number of votes given in New-York for governor is published from which it appears, that    Mr. Tompkins had $5,074   Mr. Lewis 30,989   majority 4,085 
A VISION.
Reflecting on the unrivalled progress of the U. States in internal improvements, in wealth, and in power, my mind was transported to a period when, together with most of the existing race, I shall be translated to another world. What, said I, will be the situation of my country a century hence? I felt pleasure in contemplating the scene, presented by my fancy; and supposing others possessed of the same feelings with myself, I offer a sketch of my reveries.
In the first place, I laid it down as the foundation of the whole superstructure, that our attachment to the principles of liberty, and a pacific course, would continue to regulate our conduct. Is this calculating upon too much? Is there not every reason to hope that these principles have already passed the severest trials to which they will ever be exposed? The state of infancy, from which we have just emerged, rendered us physically more vulnerable than we ever shall be at any future stage of our existence. In this state, in war as well as in peace, we demonstrated our competency to resist external force, aided by no mean portion of internal co-operation. We did this too, under a system of government, compared with the present, in the highest degree inefficient. We were likewise exposed to all the evils and dangers of inexperience. All these perils we met and vanquished with a success that gave distinction to the American name. Can greater ever present themselves? Our population is doubled—our wealth is quadrupled—our systems of government are fully organized, and a confidence is reposed in the national government, which would, whenever necessary, enable it to draw from the national resources to almost any extent.
On these grounds then the nation is completely safe. If there be danger, it will come from another quarter. It will be the result of our prosperity—Wealth and luxury will be our ruin. But have we any just reason to consider our situation, in this respect, as likely to be analogous to that of the nations of the old world? Why have wealth and luxury been fatal to them? Because, riches and power, instead of being diffused widely through the various classes of society, and distributed throughout the several sections of nations, have been confined to a single class, and centered in a single spot. And whence has this arisen, but from the iniquitous monopolies and establishments created or reared by those in power? What are hierarchies, nobility and monarchy, but monopolies of power & wealth? It is to these mighty monopolies, together with the laws passed to fortify and extend them, that the world is indebted for a concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few, which has given birth to that luxury, which has been so destructive of public virtue and private morals. On the other hand, our institutions, laws and manners, so far from fostering or creating such monopolies, are so many obstacles to their creation or limitations of them. The hereditary principle, both in its application to property and political power, being forever annihilated, there is not the slightest ground for apprehending those dangers in this country from either power or riches, which have so fatally scourged other nations. The door to office and the acquisition of property being alike open to universal competition will forever frustrate the concentration of either in the hands of any particular classes for any considerable length of time.—It is the opinion, indeed, of well in-
formed men, that priority at the present day, is more equally divided in the U. S. than it was 20 years ago. This constant tendency of property to equalization will have two effects. It will prevent the existence of any considerable number of overgrown fortunes, and it will maintain a powerful and numerous yeomanry, possessed of moderate property; sufficient to render them independent and happy, but not sufficient to justify their indulgence in habits of luxury, and totally incompetent to the exercise of a dangerous influence on the lower orders of society.
Relying then on the adherence of the people of this country to their republican and pacific principles, I carried myself forward a century hence.
The first thing that arrested my attention was the alteration in the state of the country. Wherever I cast my eyes, I beheld (for it was about the season of harvest) the most luxuriant production. Not a spot, within the highest state of cultivation. Extensive fields of grain, and more extensive pastures announced the united influence of industry and intelligence. Spots, originally sterile and altogether unproductive, now vied in the luxuriance of their crops with those on which nature had been the most bountiful.— Astonished at this wonderful change, I enquired how it had come to pass. "Look," said the individual I addressed, "at yonder canal. It is but one mile from the ground on which you now tread; a good road, that may be easily travelled the whole year, leads you to it; and, once on its banks, you are directly and easily carried to the grand canal that connects, by a direct route, the whole Atlantic board. These canals and roads are the life of our agriculture and manufactures. They give a value to every product of human industry; and more than all, they have rendered every acre of ground, however situate and however barren, worthy the cultivation of the husbandman. The towns situated on these canals and roads furnished us in the first place with sufficient manure to bring our poorest lands into tolerable heart; and that end once attained, all that followed was easy; for the ground subsisted cattle enough for its constant and gradual amelioration, until it attained the state in which you now behold it."
Who, said I, with eagerness, is the great magician that produced this astonishing transformation?
"Jefferson," said he, one hundred years ago laid the foundation stone. He devised the system; recommended it to his countrymen, and insured its adoption."
I knew, said I, the man of whom you speak. He was a great man—
"But, what is more to his honor, he was a good man."
How so, said I, is virtue so rare among you that you set so much value upon it?
"No, thank Heaven, the example he set, and the way in which he administered the public affairs have had the happiest effect on private morals—But, it is a rare thing , the history of the whole world proves it, for a man so great to have been likewise so good."
"Do you, said I, prize virtue in a public man at a higher rate than talents?"
"Infinitely higher. Indeed we will not allow any man to be great, who is not good."
"Happy, thrice happy state of society, exclaimed I, in which such sentiments prevail! But, recollecting myself, I observed that the general prevalence of such principles implied more knowledge than the people can possibly lay claim to. Ignorant, as most of them must be, their admiration is more excited by the displays of power than virtue."
"Ignorant! No—thank God—what ever our enemies may uphold us with, they cannot reproach us with ignorance."
"What portion of the people can read and write?"
"There is not a man among us who can't do both. And what is more; there is not one in a hundred that does not spend a part of the day in this occupation—Reading is our pleasure—it is the way in which the poorest man passes his evening in the midst of his family. He reads while they work."
"How, said I, is this possible? Where do you get the means of educating your children, and of procuring books to read?"
"The nation supplies them most liberally. Nay more—it compels every parent to send his children to the best schools, supported at the public expence; and as for books every small district has a library, maintained in the same way, and accessible to all. You see, therefore, it would be our own fault if we were ignorant; and as every parent knows it would be an indelible disgrace to his child, not to possess the advantages of education, he takes care, by the utmost attention, to awaken his curiosity, and excite his thirst for information. Hence it is that every branch of business is pursued, not only with industry, but also with skill and intelligence, the consequence of which is that the whole mass of labor is made in the highest degree productive, and nothing is lost. All that is done is well done. Work is done for perpetuity. Our mansions, and barns and outhouses, instead of tumbling into ruins every twenty or thirty years, are fitted to last for ages; the fencing of our farms is in dea in a style of the like permanence; (casting my eyes around I observed nothing but hedges, principally made of the white thorn) and manure is applied in such a way as with a proper succession of crops to insure the constant fertility of the soil. It is owing to this that no man is so poor as not to be able to devote a
few hours of the day to reading and writing and social intercourse. Hence, likewise, it is that we have few crimes committed among us, and few controversies between our citizens."
"You have not then, I presume, said I, so many lawyers as you otherwise would have."
"We have neither lawyers or physicians, in the true sense of the terms. Our state of society supplying neither of the professions with an honorable maintenance, they have gradually dwindled into insignificance so far as regards their numbers. The few offences perpetrated, and the certainty and severity with which they are punished, as well as all violations of pecuniary engagements, and the general conviction of the enormous expence of fees, lawyers, has long since turned the tide of public opinion against this order of men; and as to the physicians, we live so temperately, and are so exempt from those inquietudes of mind that are so productive of physical disease, that they have likewise become an almost useless profession. Those that remain are principally surgeons, and men of high scientific endowments, whose exertions are chiefly employed in exploring the arena of nature, and exposing its treasures to the general view. Some advocates remain among us; but they are generally men of independent fortunes and minds, who are impelled by motives of humanity or justice to take up the cause of the oppressed. Their voice is never raised but in the cause of truth and to shield the poor and feeble from oppression; and when heard, it is rarely heard in vain."
In raptures with this portrait of the times, so different from the degenerate days of their ancestors, when even justice was in a degree venal, I passed into a spacious hall, where I beheld convened a large body of men, clad in the neatest though plainest attire, & where the greatest order reigned.
"This," said my companion, "is the House of Representatives of the U. S.—This is the body to whom is confided the great interests of the nation. It is here that you hear the brightest displays of eloquence, and behold an habitual tempérance and singleness of view to the public good, that distinguish it beyond every deliberative body that ever before existed. It is here that a hundred millions are annually disbursed, on objects of general utility, and principally on roads, canals and schools. It is here that for a hundred years there has not been a dollar devoted to frivolous or mischievous purposes."
"Where, said I, have you had no wars?"
"No! it is our pride, our boast, that for a whole century we have remained in a state of profound peace, without any blot upon the national character—War has often been proposed on this floor, but it has been as often overruled. Our young men have frequently strove to embroil the nation; but the good sense of this body has always crushed the attempt, and the good sense of the nation has invariably supported their decision. As often as heading and unreflecting zeal has urged us to arms, we have lifted the shield, left us as an inheritance, by the immortal Jefferson, who was the first to demonstrate the practicability of maintaining peace without sacrificing honor."
Our attention was here arrested by a debate which sprang up in the House of Representatives—Such was the information and eloquence, dignity and zeal, which characterised all the speakers, that I fancied myself in the midst of an assembly of superior beings. There were two members particularly, who took opposite sides in the discussion, that inspired me with the highest delight, and that equalled all my ideas of eloquence. Who are these men, said I?
"They are," said my companion, "both of them young men, educated at the public expence. Indeed, more than half the members are of this description. It is to the universal provision made on this head, that the dignified character and correct conduct of this body is owing. Those who elect are thus qualified to make a judicious selection, and possess a wider field from which to make it; and hence the national award, ultimately made on any important subject, is seldom erroneous, and never dangerously so."
A message was at this time announced from the chief magistrate. It was received apparently with the highest respect, and listened to with the most profound attention. It was an expose of the state of the nation, and so interesting that it made an indelible impression on my memory and feelings.
"Fellow-citizens of the Senate and House of Representatives," said the chief magistrate, "Liberty, peace and prosperity are still the lot of this favored people. May these solid and distinguished blessings, acquired by the valor and wisdom of our ancestors, descend to the remotest generations! May, we, particularly, to whom are confided their great interests, unite in their maintenance by manifesting a zeal tempered by wisdom, and a firmness supported by moderation. It gives me great satisfaction to be enabled to say with confidence that at no antecedent period of our national existence have there existed surer indications of internal happiness and external respect. The commerce of our citizens, almost co-extensive with the globe, has not, during the past year, been disturbed by a single act of violence or injustice committed under the auspices of any foreign nation; and I have received from every nation of the old world assurances of respect and friendship towards the U. S. The general Congress have at length established a system of universal law among nations, which you will feel an honor
pride in finding is perfect coincidence with the enlightened sentiments of the great Franklin, from which we may rationally hope, not only for the undisturbed enjoyment of our own rights, but likewise for the general prevalence of just principles among nations, so long accustomed to test right by force."
"Agreeably to the act passed by you at your last session, a census has been taken of the inhabitants within our limits, who, you will perceive, amount to one hundred and twenty millions, of which eighty millions are on this, and forty millions on the farther side of the Mississippi. Among the latter, the English language has become substituted almost entirely for the languages previously in use, and a general and strong conviction prevails of the superiority of their present to their past condition when under the government of other nations."
"The receipts of the treasury for the last year amount to one hundred and ten millions, of which sixty millions are derived from tolls paid on roads and canals, and the residue derived principally from imports on articles of external commerce."
"Of this sum fifty millions have been applied to the support of schools and academic and collegiate establishments, libraries, agricultural and mechanical societies, and various other institutions and objects connected with education and the arts. Fifty millions have been applied to the making new roads and canals, and keeping those already made in repair. Five millions have been applied to the civil and military establishment, leaving in the treasury an unexpended balance of five millions."
Here the illusion ceased. I have since calmly surveyed the picture delineated by my imagination; and it is my honest belief that it is a just representation of future times, provided we have sufficient wisdom and firmness to persevere in the course we have taken.
The astonishing revolution of sentiment that has marked a new and glad era in the annals of Massachusetts, is no little encouragement to the faithful few in our sister state of Connecticut, who remain undaunted by the "host of terrors" that are set in array to impede and appal them. The prospect of republicans in the Commonwealth was once as gloomy and disconsolate as theirs. The cheering rays of hope seldom burst upon their sight, and to sport in the sunshine of prosperity was an happiness both distant and uncertain. The influence of pride and wealth, if boasted talents and an ostentatious display of religion, was a barrier not to be forced by the vigorous efforts of a moment, but to be assailed by unwearied application & unismayed firmness. Let us look back to our situation a few years since and admire the resolution that has maintained such an arduous conflict. In the year 1802, there were only forty seven democrats in our House of Representatives, while the federal numbers exceeded those of the present year; and in the Senate only four  or five could be found to step forward as champions of the people's rights. There are now about two hundred and fifty republicans to one hundred federalists in the lower House, and in the upper twenty-one to nineteen . In the years 1802 and 1803 the majority for Strong was about fifteen thousand ; we have now the pleasure of seeing the patriotic SULLIVAN elevated to the chair of state by a majority of two thousand , and trust the next election will exhibit an almost unanimous acquiescence in the principles of his administration. Can there be a more powerful stimulus to exertion in our Connecticut brethren, than the consideration of these facts must afford them? Their progress has been more gradual than even ours , but that progress has been sure. A good foundation is laid for future triumph. Victory has been long delayed afar off. She approaches near and will soon put to flight the medley group that have assumed the style of federalists. Hypocrites and pretenders must yield the citadel of authority, and one more instance will confirm the maxim—"Truth is mighty and will prevail."
Nat. Aegis.
A magnificent statue of peace, to be placed in Napoleons Hall of Audience, now occupies the time and talents of an eminent Parisian artist. The goddess is represented in a sitting posture, on a base of bronze, richly ornamented with rich gold, and a variety of embossed figures, emblematical of commerce and agriculture. The height of the figure is almost seven feet, and said to be composed of solid silver. A gallon of gold, fastened with silver studs, adorns the back part of her robe. The laces of her buskins, and the prickly crown of Medea, which invests her temples, are of solid gold. In one hand the goddess holds a caduceus of silver, inlaid with gold, and in the other a cornucopia of the same costly material. This elegant figure was designed by Chaudet and is to be executed by Charet.
The famous bronze horses, on the statue of Fame, late in the front of the Brandenburgh gate at Berlin, arrived a few days ago at Hamburg, from whence they are to be transported to Stadt, in Hanover, and from thence conveyed to the Museum Napoleon at Paris. As the Elise is quite free from ice, they will probably soon arrive at their destination, unless some British cruiser shall charitably interrupt their passage.
Gen. Victor Lott Boehler, chief of the best corps of the French army, and one of the commanders of the Legion of Honor, died at Paris, on the 24th March, after a month's illness.

Ran away from the Subscriber living near the Eastern Branch bridge, a negro woman of about 32 years of age of a middle stature, rather blacker than common, somewhat pitted with the small pox about the nose; she has had liberty at different times to choose a master; she has left a fucking child, and I believe has contracted an acquaintance with a certain Cato Day, a black man who has worked some years past in the Navy Yard in the city of Washington. I have reason to believe she is either harbored or concealed or rather conveyed from this place under him; she has a change of clothing, therefore cannot be well described by her dress.
Whoever takes up the said negro and secures her so as I get her again shall have TEN DOLLARS reward and all reasonable expenses if brought home.
