TRIAL OF COL. AARON BURR.
Saturday June 20.
Mr. E. Randolph rose to proceed with his motion; when he was interrupted by Mr. Hay: "I have, sir, a communication to make to the court and to your selves. The court will recollect the reply which I received from the President of the U. S. to my letter respecting certain papers; they will recollect that he stated in that letter that gen. W's letter of the 25th of Oct. was in the hands of the attorney general, from whom he would attempt to obtain it. By the last night's mail, sir, I received this letter from the President of the U. S. touching the same subject." Mr. H. then read the following letter to the court:
Washington, June 17, 07.
SIR, In answering your letter of the 9th, which desired a communication of one to me from gen. Wilkinson, specified by its date, I informed you in mine of the 12th, that I had delivered it, with all other papers respecting the charges against Aaron Burr, to the attorney general, when he went to Richmond, that I had supposed he had left them in your possession, but would immediately write to him, if he had not, to forward that particular letter without delay. I wrote to him accordingly on the same day, but having no answer, I know not whether he has forwarded the letter. I stated in the same letter that I had desired the secretary at war to examine his office in order to comply with your further request to furnish copies of the orders which had been given respecting Aaron Burr and his property; and in a subsequent letter of the same day, I forwarded to you copies of two letters from the secretary at war which appeared to be within the description expressed in your letter.—The order from the secretary of the navy, you said you were in possession of. The receipt of these papers had I presume, so far anticipated, and others this day forwarded, will have substantially fulfilled, the object of a subpoena from the district court of Richmond, requiring that those officers & myself should attend the court in Richmond, with the letter of gen. Wilkinson, the answer to that letter, and the orders of the department of war and the navy therein generally described. No answer to gen. Wilkinson's letter, other than a mere acknowledgment of its receipt in a letter written for a different purpose, was ever written by myself or any other. To these communications of papers, I will add, that if the defendant supposes there were any facts within the knowledge of the heads of departments, or of myself, which can be useful for his defence, from a desire of doing any thing our situation will permit in furtherance of justice, we shall be ready to give him the benefit of it, by way of deposition through any persons whom the court shall authorise to take our testimony at this place. I know indeed that this cannot be done but by consent of parties, and I therefore authorise you to give consent on the part of the U. S. Mr. Burr's consent will be given of course, if he supposes the testimony useful.
As to our personal attendance at Richmond, I am persuaded the court is sensible that paramount duties to the nation at large controul the obligation of compliance with their summons in this case, as they would, should we receive a similar one to attend the trials of Blannerhasset and others in the Mississippi territory, those instituted at St. Louis, and other places on the western waters, or at any place other than the seat of government. To comply with such calls, would leave the nation without an executive branch, whose agency nevertheless is understood to be so constantly necessary, that it is the sole branch which the constitution requires to be always in function. It could not then be contended that it should be withdrawn from its station by any co-ordinate authority.
With respect to papers, there is certainly a public and private side to our offices. To the former, belong grants of lands, patents for inventions, certain commissions, proclamations, and other papers patent in their nature. To the other belong mere executive proceedings. All nations have found necessary, that for the advantageous conduct of their affairs, some of these proceedings at least, should remain known to their executive functionary only. He of course, from the nature of the case, must be the sole judge of which of them the public interest will permit publication. Hence under our constitution, in requests of papers from the legislative to the executive branch, one exception is carefully expressed "as to those which he may deem the public welfare may require not to be disclosed," as you will see in the enclosed resolution of the House of Representatives, which produced the message of Jan. 22, respecting this case. The respect mutually due between the constituted authorities in their official intercourse, as well as sincere dispositions to do for every one what is just, will always ensure from
the executive, in exercising the duty of discrimination confided to him, the same candor and integrity, to which the nation has in like manner trusted in the disposal of its judiciary authorities. Considering you as the organ for communicating these sentiments to the court, I address them to you for that purpose, and salute you with esteem and respect.
TH: JEFFERSON.
Accompanying this letter, said Mr. H. is a copy of the resolution of the House of Representatives containing the exception to which the President refers. I have also received a letter from Mr. Smith, Secretary of the Navy, containing an authentic copy of the order, which was wanted, precisely corresponding with the unauthenticated copy in my possession.
Mr. Wickham. I presume that these must be noted by the clerk, as the return to the subpoena Duces Tecum .
Mr. Hay. So far as they go. When we receive gen. W's letter, the return will be complete. I have also received a letter from the Secretary at war, which contains all the orders of his department, touching Aaron Burr. All which papers I shall deposit with the clerk of this court.
The following is the order of the navy department:
I CERTIFY, that the annexed is a true copy from the records, in the office of the department of the navy of the U. S. States, of the letter from the Secretary of the Navy to captain John Shaw, dated 20th Dec. 1806.
In faith whereof, I Robert Smith, Secretary of the navy of the U. S. of America, have signed these presents, and caused the seal of my office to be affixed hereunto, at the city of Washington, this 17th day of June, A. D. 1807, and in the 31st year of the independence of the said states.
R. SMITH
Secretary of the Navy.
REGISTERED, C. W. GOLDSBOROUGH, Chief Clk. Navy Dept.
COPY. Navy Department, 20th December, 1806.
SIR, A military expedition formed on the Western waters by Col. Burr, will soon proceed down the Mississippi, and by the time you receive this letter, will probably be near New-Orleans. You will by all the means in your power, aid the army and militia in suppressing this enterprise. You will with your boats take the best position to intercept and to take and if necessary to destroy the boats descending under the command of Col. Burr, or of any person holding an appointment under him. There is great reliance on your vigilance and exertions.
I have the honor to be, sir, Your most obedient, (Signed,)
ROBT. SMITH.
Capt. John Shaw, or the Commanding Naval Officer at N. Orleans.
Mr. Randolph. I will now proceed, sir, with my motion—May it please your honors! I am now about to commit to your attention the motion, of which I gave notice some days past.—The general purport of it is, to award a rule to show cause why an attachment should not issue against gen. Wilkinson, for obstructing the fair administration of justice. Whether we shall be charged with any intention of defaming general Wilkinson by this proceeding, I know not: but I can most solemnly assure the gentlemen, that our object is extremely different. We do not proceed, sir, upon mere general surmise, or interested motives. We shall rely upon facts;—we shall attempt to remove all the prejudices which have been excited by facts alone; and our anxious hope is to guard the public mind against erroneous impressions, by the exhibition of correct evidence alone. If general Wilkinson's character should suffer, it is not our fault. He has, sir, to bear the weight of legal doctrines and the consequences of those doctrines. He cannot complain. It is due from the U. S. to the persons accused, to let no obstructions to the administration of justice pass by with impunity. We shall attack general Wilkinson, sir, on specific allegations and by specific facts. It is his duty to repel these by legal evidence, and not by the insinuations of his counsel. I prefer this course, sir; that no more of our time may be unnecessarily wasted upon his eulogy. Perhaps the time may yet come when he will need all the lustre of his glory to defend him against our attacks; and better is it, sir, that none of his beams should be dissipated, until we shall come home upon him.
The ground on which we make our motion, is this; that in this case between the U. S. and A. Burr, a witness has been summoned and brought here by the abuse of military authority; and that for this illegal proceeding, it is the duty of this court to take notice of gen. W. I name gen. W. only at present; but the time may arrive, when it shall be necessary to extend this principle to others.
The grounds of this accusation are the depositions of James Knox and Chandler Lindsley, which I shall read to the court.
Mr. Hay objected to the production of these affidavits; he understood that they had been either written or dictated by the opposite counsel: he did not pretend to say, that they contained anything, which they did not believe to be true; but he had understood, that those very witnesses had gone to the opposite counsel to give them certain information, and that upon this information the counsel had either written or dictated the terms of the affidavits.
Mr. H. conceived, when affidavits are taken by the opposite counsel, however fair the other means which had been employed, that such affidavits are illegal. What say the law books? That in no case will the court issue an attachment, where the affidavits have been taken by agents alone. And in this very case the court have declared that they will admit of no exceptions to this obvious principle, however strongly convinced of the fairness of the grounds on which they are taken. Mr. H. objected to any affidavits that were written by the opposite counsel: he cited a written case where the court had set aside an affidavit, that had been sworn to before counsel. But the present is even a stronger one than that; and more in the scope of that policy, on which this principle of the law is founded; for in that case, the affidavit had only been sworn to before the counsel; but in this, it had been penned by them. Mr. H. did not however, mean to reproach gentlemen, for the course which they had pursued; for he would perhaps have done the very same thing in their situation.
Mr. Baker. May it please the court. I shall not undertake to say, what Mr. Hay would have done in our situation, nor am I much interested in knowing. But I solely rise for the purpose of correcting a mistake, into which he has fallen. He says that these affidavits were originally written by col. B's counsel. As to Mr. Knox's affidavit, I know and can say nothing. As to Mr. Lindsley's, the facts are simply these: Mr. L. whom I had never seen before, called upon me with his affidavit already written, to know whether its form of expression was correct. I observed in it some grammatical errors, which I thought ought to be corrected. I wrote the affidavit over again, having corrected these grammatical errors. After which I submitted it to Mr. L's inspection, who said that it was perfectly accurate.
Mr. Wirt. Do you know, Mr. Baker, who put Mr. L. on that course? Mr. Baker. Perhaps yourself, sir; I never saw Mr. L. before.
Mr. Wickham hoped that gentlemen would persevere in the course, which they had this day begun; and instead of warm declamation on desultory subjects, come at once to the law and to the authorities. It happens in many cases between one individual and another, or between individuals and the U. S. that collateral points should occur, in which testimony ought to be heard. But if the viva voce evidence be produced, it will lead to an unnecessary confusion and waste of time. The regular practice, therefore, is when any of those collateral points are started, not to produce viva voce testimony, but the affidavits of the witnesses. These affidavits are not made in court but before private magistrates. These being in writing, must necessarily be written by one of three descriptions of persons; by a judge or rather a magistrate, by the party himself, or by his counsel. In many cases they cannot be written by a magistrate, because he has no clerk, and it would be too burdensome, if every affidavit which was sworn to before him should be written by him; and besides many a man makes an able magistrate who is a very indifferent clerk. It is not contended, that the parties themselves ought to write them; because some of them are not able to write at all. They must of course be written by their counsel or by some agent; but it is not every man that has an agent at hand, and if his counsel performs the act, he is to be considered for the time as an agent for the party. Magistrates therefore, not being compellable; the parties not being able; and the counsel being excluded by Mr. Hay's doctrine, these affidavits would seldom be produced. Hence a custom has prevailed among lawyers, to write their clients affidavits; and the gentleman himself confesses that he has frequently done it. As to the authority quoted by Mr. H. it has no force of law. From this case it appears that the attorney for the prosecution had himself administered the oath. Now no rule is more sacred in law, than that a magistrate before whom the oath is taken, should be disinterested between both parties. If the magistrate be arrested as it was in the case quoted, it vitiates the affidavit. A magistrate of this city has been frequently known to draw & administer
the oath even in his own case: the first is not improper but the administration of the oath is obviously so.
Mr. Burr observed, that it would be much more agreeable to him, if every person could be orally examined; but that he would deserve the rebuke of this court, if he in every case departed from the established usage; however if the court would submit to the inconvenience it would be perfectly agreeable to himself. As to the origin of this business, certain unfounded insinuations had been made; that Mr. Knox had come to him and complained of the usage which he had received; that one of his counsel who was present during this interview had joined him in the opinion that some motion ought to be taken of this proceeding; that he first thought the better way would be to invite Mr. Hay's attention to it; but that he recollected that Mr. Hay being an interested party, was, perhaps, disqualified from doing full justice to the case: It was Mr. Knox's own idea to come into court and make complaint.
Mr. Wirt observed, that Mr. Wickham was right as to the practice, but he seems to have forgotten that this practice is founded in expediency. When the expediency ceases, so does the rule. The question then is, is it most expedient to follow the usual practice, or to have the viva voce testimony produced. He trusted that every man wished to come at a correct knowledge of the facts. The court was called on for a rule against gen. W. It ought to be satisfied of the propriety of granting this rule. One lawyer says, that the usual practice, is an affidavit: another contends, that it is best to determine the expediency by viva voce testimony. The question then is, which will best give satisfaction to the court; an affidavit penned by the party, or the witness himself? How can the court best know, whether the rule be proper until they have had the witness fairly and fully examined? Has the counsel in dragging up these affidavits used the words of the witness himself; no doubt he has tried to do it as well as he can: no doubt he has attempted to wipe off every bias from his mind; and it is impossible that he could have perfectly succeeded; or that he could have precisely drawn such an affidavit, as would have flowed of itself from the mind of the witness. They could not have used precisely the same expressions; and this affidavit which should express the color of the mind of the witness, is necessarily too much tinged with the color of mind of the counsel.
Mr. Botta. You misunderstand col. B. Sir. He acquiesces in your reason; he feels the expediency of your proposition; and cheerfully consents to the exhibition of the viva voce testimony itself: though he regrets the inconvenience and departure from usage, which it will involve.
Mr. Martin. If the witness himself is examined, the clerk will reduce the questions and answers to writing, to give it all the effect of an affidavit.
Mr. Hay apologized for frequently misunderstanding col. B. not withstanding his distinct voice and emphatic manner. Their respective situations prevented him from being distinctly heard.
James Knox was then called, when Mr. McRae addressed the court: He said that this business was of considerable importance to the respectable gentleman (gen. W.) who was immediately interested, it was extremely desirable that he might be present during the examination of this and the other witnesses who might be exhibited on this occasion; that these wishes had been communicated to the opposite counsel but that they had objected to any delay, and hence he had made this application to the court: that gen. Wilkinson was now before the Grand Jury, and would be in a short time before the court—that he knew gen. Wilkinson wished to be here. He therefore requested that the court would suspend their examination for a short time, until he himself could be present; that perhaps some very important facts, which were unknown to the counsel for the prosecution might be within the knowledge of Wilkinson who might materially direct their enquiries in this examination.
Mr. Martin said, that gentlemen seemed not to know, in what stage of the enquiry they were now engaged. The question merely is whether a rule should be granted to show cause; in which neither gen. Wilkinson nor his counsel were supposed to be present.
Mr. McRae. The gentleman from Baltimore has said that we were not present; although the court has been polite enough to recognize our presence; and even the gentlemen themselves, by some time ago declaring their consent to any arrangement which would be most convenient for both sides have admitted the same facts. Mr. McRae hoped, that the reasons for desiring
general Wilkinson's attendance seemed equally strong to the court as they did to the counsel for the prosecution that they would consent to this short delay; "we mean, sir, with the leave of the court to put some questions to the witnesses ourselves: and still more, we mean with the leave of the court, to introduce some of our own witnesses; and we feel confident, in satisfying this court, that no just foundation exists for the present motion."
Mr. Martin. I know that these gentlemen are personally present; and indeed they take care enough to remind us of it, by so often making us bear their voices. But certainly they are not legally present; and they have no right to interfere in the present discussion. The other day they detained the court three hours on the motion for a subpoena duces tecum , after the court had decided that they had no right to interfere. Let the court decide upon the present motion; and when the rule is made, then may Gen. Wilkinson come forward to shew cause why an attachment should not issue.
Mr. Wirt. If we are only here by our speaking, sir, no one can doubt that Mr. Martin is present, and in fact that there is scarce any one here besides himself. I am willing, however, if he pleases, to be legally absent; and in the observations which I am about to offer, to be considered only as an Amicus Curiae . These questions may be worthy the consideration of the court.—"Shall I shut out any of the evidence in this case? Shall I have only one or two of the links presented before me, when I may have the whole chain itself unrolled? When other testimony is present, ought I not to give myself the full benefit of it?" And let me seriously ask this court, whether they do not conceive that general Wilkinson's interrogatories are calculated to aid their own enquiries? Is it not better that they should have a whole view of the ground, than a partial and mutilated statement? One word, sir, as to general Wilkinson himself. Though in common parlance, he is not present; yet what man is more interested than himself in the fate of the present motion? Gentlemen have been pleased to represent him as one of the main pivots of the prosecution; and this rule is materially to affect him both as a witness and as a man. We have been reminded of the necessity of keeping the stream of the prosecution clear and untroubled. Can gentlemen be serious in these admonitions when they now attempt to forestall the public judgment by the premature exhibition of testimony? I hope that the court will on its own account as well as of public justice, from a sense of expediency due to general Wilkinson as well as to the prosecution, postpone this examination for a short time, until general Wilkinson himself can be present.
Mr. Martin drew an analogy between this motion and the functions of a Grand Jury. "Gentlemen, said he, have no more right to interfere in this stage of the business, than we have to interfere before the Grand Jury. When the Jury have found a bill, the trial in chief comes before the court, and we may then introduce whatever evidence we please.—It is the same case here; when the court have granted the rule, gentlemen may bring up whatever evidence they please on the main motion for an attachment. But they contend that this motion may tarnish the character of general Wilkinson. Sir, when the rule is granted, general Wilkinson may appear before you, but not till then. He has no more right to come forward now in the vindication of his character, than we have to send up exculpatory matter to the Grand Jury, where we may be as materially injured, as gen. Wilkinson can possibly be here. It is only when the Grand Jury have found their bills, that we can enter upon our defence. It is only when the rule has been granted; that general Wilkinson can attempt to wipe off the impressions which may exist against him.
Mr. Burr said, that he by no means intended eventually to exclude the gentlemen even on this motion; if the court thought proper to indulge them. He could not, however, but notice the danger of innovation, which the departing from established rules in the present instance would necessarily involve.
Mr. Hay enquired where would be the justice of entering upon a rule against a man when he was on the spot, and when he could so easily shew, how visionary the charge was that was brought against him. In one hour Gen. Wilkinson might be discharged by the grand jury and would appear in court.
Mr. Wickham said it was important for them to go on with the motion; however, if Mr. Hay would but name an hour in this day, when General W. would be here, they would consent to this delay.
Mr. Martin hoped that the court would express in its order, that this postponement was not in consequence of the right of the gentleman to demand it, but of the consent of his honorable friend.
Chief Justice. Why this distinction? Suppose the rule should be returnable on Monday, (and the present

arrangement will be productive of the same effect) the witnesses on both sides would then be heard; and the reputation of gen. W. would stand on the same footing.
Mr. Randolph. We shall move then directly for an attachment.
Mr. McRae. We only wish the motion delayed until gen. W. can be permitted to attend the court.
Mr. Hay hoped that to save time, gentlemen would reduce their interrogatories to writing.
Mr. Martin. That can easily be done: There will be no delay on that account.
The examination was postponed till Monday; and the court then adjourned till that day, 11 o'clock.
Monday, June 22.
As soon as the court met, Mr. E. Randolph directed the deputy marshal to call James Knox, and Chandler Lindsley. He would now with the permission of the court proceed to open the motion, which he had introduced on Saturday.
Mr. McRae had understood that this motion was to be postponed, till gen. W. could appear.
Chief Justice. As this is a motion for an attachment, Gen. W. should be heard in his defence.
Mr. McRae. The moment he is discharged, we shall notify the opposite counsel of it.
Mr. Bates observed, that it was a spirit of accommodation which had prompted them to a postponement of this motion on Saturday; that it was their anxiety to have Gen. Wilkinson here, which had produced this accommodating disposition, and that if they had not thus waived their usual right of pressing the motion, they might at this time have been in the very body of the investigation. Considering the hardships and inconvenience which this delay imposed upon Col. Burr, it was but fair to retract the consent which they had given on Saturday. If they consented to the present delay, it might be 3 or 4 days before General W. would be discharged by the Grand Jury, and that about that time, they would be ready to report the result of their enquiries. If they did not find a true bill, it was not to be expected, that Col. Burr would give himself any further trouble, by involving himself in any new legal strife. If they did find a true bill, the prosecution which would then be depending, would most probably throw out of view the present motion. Why this delay? Though G. W. himself was not here, he was ably represented by counsel. May not Col. B's counsel then retract the consent which they had given, and either proceed to move for an attachment or for a rule to show cause.
Mr. Burr was unwilling to controvert the opinion or contravene the wishes of the court; but the subject necessarily required a few remarks. On Saturday he had waived his rights; he had consented to vary the form of the motion, to give G. Wilkinson an opportunity of being present, under an expectation that he would be here on that day; certainly he could not have entertained a doubt, that he would be present on this day. Was his consent, however, to be indefinitely extended to any period? It was then in his power to vary the form of his motion once more. If they would but name a certain time, say to-morrow, he was ready to waive his motion for the present.
Mr. Wirt declared, that it was impossible for them to say when the Grand Jury would be done with G. W.; when he could come before the court. He thanked gentlemen for the accommodating spirit which they had manifested, if the obligation was not completely wiped away by their converting it into a topic of a reproach. But suppose the rule was granted, what difference would it make in the situation of things? G. W. would still be before the Grand Jury. They could not spare him to the court; and it was impossible to know when they could spare him.
Chief Justice said that the court would have conceived itself bound to hear the motion for a rule; but now the motion was of a mixed nature; partaking of a motion for a rule, and of one for an attachment.—If G. W. was here to-morrow, the motion might go on; but it was not presumable, that the Grand Jury would find immediately after G. Wilkinson's examination as several witnesses has been sent up after him, and would come before the jury. He conceived that Col. Burr's testimony should be delayed no longer than till to-morrow; and Gen. Wilkinson will cross-examine those witnesses, when he came into court.
Mr. Hay. That is the very circumstance which we wish to avoid. These witnesses are brought here to accuse Gen. Wilkinson, and he ought therefore to be present, to shape our enquiries to the proper point, and to expose their fallacy.
Chief Justice Gen. Wilkinson cannot cross-examine them, till Col. Burr has done with them.
Mr. Hay How then is G. W. to know what questions he should ask, if he knows not what questions have been put by the other side?
Chief Justice. All their questions and the answers will be reduced to writing.
Mr. Hay was unwilling for gentlemen to believe, that he wished to waive the discussion for a single moment; perhaps the Grand Jury would spare him for an hour; he understood that he was then employed in deciphering a letter before them. He suggested that a message should be sent up to the Grand Jury, requesting them to spare him for an hour, if it was compatible with their arrangements.
The marshal was accordingly sent for to deliver the message, who informed
the court that Gen. Wilkinson was at that moment under examination.
The motion was accordingly postponed till to-morrow, when it is understood it will certainly come on.
The C. J. observed that the attorney for the U. States might state to Gen. Wilkinson the facts which were charged in the affidavit, and which would agree in all the most material points with the interrogations that would be proposed to the witnesses.

WASHINGTON CITY, WEDNESDAY, JULY 1.
CITIZENS OF WASHINGTON!
You are called upon to assemble this evening to express your feelings on an occasion, in which every thing that is dear to freemen, or sacred to Americans is involved. A perfidious and pusillanimous enemy has dared to perpetrate an outrage on your rights and character that loudly calls for vengeance. Appear then in your full strength at the Theatre with souls indignant but calm, that you may, by the steps you shall take, show yourselves worthy of the rank you hold among your fellow freemen; that you are sensible of the blessings of independence, and are ready to sacrifice your lives and fortunes in its defence.
IN CONSEQUENCE OF A REPRESENTATION made to me by a number of citizens communicating their opinion of the expediency of a public expression of the ideas and feelings of our fellow citizens on the late ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE offered to the honor and rights of our country, I do hereby request a GENERAL MEETING of the citizens at the Theatre on Wednesday at six o'clock in the evening.
ROBERT BRENT, MAYOR. A. B. Those Citizens of George Town and the adjacent country, disposed to unite in this step with the citizens of Washington are requested to attend the meeting.
The DINNER at Stelle's Hotel, in celebration of the 4th of July, will be on the table precisely at 4 o'clock.
Gentlemen, desirous of partaking of the dinner, will have an opportunity by applying to Mr. Stelle.
We understand that immediately on receiving information of the issue of the outrage offered to the Chesapeake the Secretary of the Navy ordered Capt. Decatur to take command of her, and prepare her without delay for service; and likewise ordered an enquiry to be instituted into the conduct of Commodore James Barron on the occasion. The Court of Inquiry is composed of Commodore Preble, and Captains Hull, and Chauncy, and is to convene on board the Chesapeake.
The following is a copy of the letter addressed by the officers of the wardroom of the Chesapeake, to the Secretary of the Navy.
Late U. S. Ship Chesapeake, Hampton Roads, June 23, 1807.
SIR, The undersigned, officers of the late U. S. Ship Chesapeake, feeling deeply sensible of the disgrace which must be attached to the late (in their opinion) premature surrender of the U. S. Ship Chesapeake of 40 guns, to the English ship of war Leopard of 50 guns, without their previous knowledge, or consent, and desirous of proving to their country and the world, that it was the wish of all the undersigned, to have rendered themselves worthy of the flag under which they had the honor to serve, by a determined resistance, to an unjust demand do request the Hon. the Secretary of the Navy to order a court of enquiry into their conduct. At the same time they are compelled by imperious duty, by the honor of their flag, by the honor of their countrymen and by all that is dear to themselves, to request that an order may be issued for the arrest of Commodore James Barron on the charges herewith exhibited which the undersigned pledge themselves to prove true. viz
1st. On the probability of an engagement, for neglecting to clear his ship for action.
2ndly For not doing his utmost to take or destroy a vessel which we conceive it his duty to have done.
With the highest respect, We subscribe ourselves, Your most obedient servants. (Signed)
Ben Smith 1st Lt. Wm. Crane, 2d Lt. W. H. Allen, 3d Lt. S. Ode Creighton, 4th Lt. Sidney Smith 5th Lt. Saml. Brooks, S. M.
The Hon. Robt. Smith, Secretary of the U. S. Navy, Washington.
We have conversed with several gentlemen of respectability, who left Richmond on Sunday last. The court rose on Saturday, after fixing the 3rd of August for the trial of Aaron Burr; and after giving an opinion, overruling the motion for an attachment against Gen. Wilkinson.
From the most respectable source we learn that the article, from the Virginia Gazette, inserted in our last number, relative to an equal division of the grand jury on presenting Gen. Wilkinson, is totally false. One of our informants expressly declares, on the authority of a member of the grand jury, that no such motion was made. A slight enquiry was instituted, which produced the request for the letter of Gen. Wilkinson, to Mr. Burr; but this enquiry was totally superceded by the order of Gen. Wilkinson to absolve Mr. Burr from any obligation not to disclose any papers in his possession. The general opinion at Richmond was that Gen. Wilkinson had
come off with flying colors. It is said that the bills against Burr and Blennerhassett were found unanimously.
The statement in our last paper, with the preceding circumstances, embrace a full outline of the whole proceedings of the court. We are obliged to defer the details until our next, to make room for the highly interesting proceedings of several public meetings on the British outrage.
Resolutions, of the most animated complexion, were adopted at Richmond on Saturday, after a splendid display of eloquence from Messrs Hay, Wirt, McRae and others.
The Secretary of War was expected to arrive in this city last night, and the Secretary of the Treasury is expected to-day. After their arrival, a full consultation will, no doubt, be had with regard to the measures called for by the crisis, the delay in taking which has probably arisen from their absence.
MR. SMITH, Observing my name in your paper, among the gentlemen selected to make arrangements for a Public Dinner, on the 4th of July approaching, I must beg leave through the same medium, to decline the honor intended me by my fellow citizens—as it does not comport with my mental feelings at this time to take a lead or join in scenes of hilarity. THOS. TINGEY. Washington, June 29, 1807.
Extract of a letter from Robert Thompson, Chaplain on board the Chesapeake, to a Gentleman in Norfolk, dated Hampton, June 24, 1807.
"There is a disagreeable circumstance that happened yesterday. The frigate Chesapeake got under way at 7 A. M. with a fair wind, and proceeded out of the Capes, where she met with the British ship Leopard , of 50 guns, commanded by Capt. Humphreys. He sent a boat on board the Chesapeake , demanded the English seamen, which Commodore James Barron said he was not authorised to give up. The boat returned to the Leopard , who immediately fired a gun a-head of the Chesapeake . Commodore Barron went to the gun-wery and bailed the ship; while he was there they fired a gun at him, which struck so nigh him, that the splinters wounded him in three different places. After that they commenced a regular fire; the Chesapeake had sixty men sick, their hammocks being placed on the gun deck, it was impossible to get the guns clear, and five men were killed and twenty-three wounded. The Commodore struck his colors. The Captain of the Leopard sent an officer on board, who, on being interrogated about the conduct of his captain, said that "he did it to save the effusion of blood!" If Commodore Barron had known it, or even dreamed a possibility of any such thing, I am confident that the Leopard would have called a larger ship to his aid."
The following article is taken from the Norfolk Public Ledger of the 24th ult. We do not vouch for the accuracy of all the facts, though we believe the statement generally correct.
We are now to present our readers the details of a most unexampled outrage, in the perpetration of which the blood of our countrymen has been shed by the hand of violence, and the honor and independence of our nation insulted beyond the possibility of further forbearance.
At a very early hour yesterday morning a report reached this place, which produced a degree of agitation beyond any thing we ever witnessed or can attempt to describe. It was reported that on the preceding evening the Chesapeake frigate, which had gone to sea that morning, had been attacked by the British ship Leopard , captain Humphreys, of 50 guns, and that the Chesapeake had struck her colors. Although the source from whence this information was derived was not such as to deserve the highest consideration, yet it was stated in that way, and attended with such circumstances, as left but little hope that it was not true. Accordingly every vessel or boat from the Capes was boarded with great anxiety, and which was not relieved until about 2 o'clock, when pointed information was received that the Chesapeake was returning to Hampton Roads, without showing any colors. About 4 o'clock all doubt was relieved, by a spectacle which was calculated, and did not fail, to rouse the indignation of every American present, and we trust that it will never subside until ample satisfaction has been made—eleven of our wounded fellow citizens arrived in a boat dispatched from the Chesapeake , and now we learned the following particulars, which we believe are correct.
The Chesapeake frigate, captain Gordon under Commodore James Barron, got under way on Monday morning, and proceeded to sea, passing the Capes about 12 o'clock—At 9 o'clock the Leopard by signal from the Commodore's ship had got under way and stood out to sea—About 3 o'clock the Chesapeake and Leopard approached, when the customary signal for firing a gun to leeward, the signal for friends, was made from both ships. Being about 3 leagues from the land, the ships came within hail, when the commander of the Leopard hailed, and hoped Commodore Barron was well, and informed that he
had dispatched for the commodore. The ships hove to and a boat came on board the Chesapeake , with a letter from captain Humphreys. In this letter was a copy of one from Admiral Berkley at Halifax, to all the British commanders on this station, in which they were ordered to demand from the commander of the Chesapeake four British seamen named in the letter, & that if they were not delivered by fair means to use force. Captain Humphreys stated in his letter that as Commodore Barron would perceive that his orders were peremptory he hoped that he would not oblige him to execute them by force. Commodore Barron returned an answer to the letter, in which he stated that the orders of his government forbade him to permit his vessel to be searched, or to deliver a man from her. The boat from the Leopard had no sooner returned on board, than a gun was fired a-head and a stern of the Chesapeake , and instantly followed by a broadside from the Leopard , accompanied by swivels and small arms. Six other broadsides followed, the two ships then within pistol shot.—On board the Chesapeake all was alarum, no man at his quarters, and some of the officers at dinner. In this situation Commodore Barron hailed the Leopard repeatedly without effect; he then ordered the colors to be struck; as this was doing, a gun from the Chesapeake was fired, upon which the Leopard fired another broadside. The colors being now down, an officer was dispatched to the Chesapeake , who on coming on board expressed some regret on behalf of his commander for what had happened. He was received with great indignation by the American officers, who tendered their swords, which he refused, saying that he wanted the four men and nothing more, and demanded the muster roll, which was produced by the Purser, and then was exhibited the degrading spectacle of nearly four hundred Americans murdered on the deck of an American Man of War, by order of a British lieutenant & four of the crew taken away. The lieutenant said he was desired to make Commodore Barron an offer of any services in the power of his commander. It would be needless to say in what manner such an offer was received, it was considered as an aggravation of the outrage which had been perpetrated. The British officer refusing to consider the Chesapeake as a prize, departed, informing Commodore Barron that he was at liberty to proceed whither he pleased. The Commodore returned to Hampton Roads, as before stated. We are sorry to add to this account that three of the crew were killed, and fifteen wounded, some of them dangerously. Commodore Barron was slightly wounded in the leg, and one Midshipman. The ship is greatly injured in her hull, masts and rigging, and must be repaired before she can go to sea. Such are the details of this affair, which we believe are substantially correct, being mostly furnished by a gentleman who was on board the Chesapeake last evening.
It is impossible that on such an occasion, there can be but one sentiment in the heart of every American. The independence of our country has been attacked, and in defending it our fellow citizens have been killed. Submission to the demand made on Commodore Barron could not have been made, without relinquishing our rights as an independent nation. Every national ship is considered as a part of the nation's territory; as well might the government of Great Britain instruct her officers to land in our country and assume the right of punishing those who have offended her laws, as to enter our ships of war for the same purpose. This is not the act of a rash imprudent commander, but acting in execution of the deliberate orders of his superior officers, if not from the highest authority of the British government, and we shall state our reasons for so thinking.
In the month of March the Halifax sloop of war, commanded by lord Townsend, was lying in Hampton Roads, and one of her boats with four men and a petty officer was sent on some duty. Being out of the reach of the guns of the Halifax, or being unobserved, the men rose upon the officer, and one threatened to throw him over board, this however they did not do, but pulled to the shore, which they reached and proceeded to this place where they entered with an officer then engaged in the enlistment of men for the Chesapeake . A formal demand was made to have them delivered up. The civil authority refused to interfere, and the officer who had enlisted them did not think himself authorised to deliver them without orders from his superiors. The case was represented we believe at Washington, but what passed there on the subject we know not. The men were not delivered up, and were believed to be on board the Chesapeake . We are confident that a representation of the case was made to the British government, whose orders we apprehend were to take the men wherever they were to be found. Our readers will be informed that the Leopard arrived here only a few days since, and brought the orders of the admiral at Halifax to take the men at all events, and under any circumstances. It may be of interest that there has not been time to hear from England since the circumstance respecting the Halifax occurred, which we think was about the ninth or tenth

of March, but we know that answers to letters written to London as late as the 20th of March have been received here. However this may be, the captain of the Leopard has acted under the orders of his superiors, and as such, the act claims the serious attention and resentment of the people and government of this country. It is no justification to say, that the men ought to have been surrendered in the first instance. We shall not stop to examine that subject now, but whenever matters of dispute between nations are settled by force, then it is war; unless from fear, or something worse, one of the nations is disposed to submit, which we trust and believe is not the case with the United States. It is the established usage for nations, who are not determined upon hostilities to seek redress by negotiation, and certainly America has pursued that course with Britain on many occasions. If this act then is to be ascribed to the British government, there is an end of all further negotiation on the subject, and war must be the result. Greatly as we always have deprecated war with that country, conscious as we are, that our country will experience infinite distress, we look upon it as degrading beneath contempt, if we are to submit to such insult. No—we trust, that there will be but one heart and one hand in supporting the just rights, and the honor of our country. If the act has not proceeded from the government of England, we persuade ourselves that our government will not want the unanimous support of its citizens in pursuing measures for the obtention of ample satisfaction.
We cannot close these remarks, without noticing the manly and dignified conduct of the citizens of this place, under this trying occasion. Exhibiting that cool but firm countenance, which is the true indication of determined courage; no act of violence was committed, or intemperate expression used towards the British subjects, who happen to be here at this time; and it would be an act of injustice to the latter, if we did not add, that from every thing we could hear and see, they were penetrated with the deepest concern upon the occasion.
FROM THE AMERICAN.
Extract of a letter from Washington, dated June 26.
You will perceive in the National Intelligencer by this mail, the mortifying disaster of last Monday. The men demanded by the captain of the Leopard were three native Americans, one of them of Indian extraction, was born in the state of Massachusetts, the other two were born in Maryland. The men had entered at the rendezvous at Norfolk for the frigate Chesapeake. They were afterwards demanded by the commanding officer of the Melampus, as deserters from that frigate. The recruiting officer having replied that he could not surrender them without orders from government, an application by the British minister was made for them. The secretary of state stated in reply that they could not be given up, and especially as they were notoriously and confessedly native Americans, it was then believed that the question was at an end. At all events it was not imagined by any person here, that it would ever be other than a subject of discussion between the two governments. Little indeed was it apprehended that a British admiral because he had the physical power, would assume the political right of deciding such a national question. And still less was it conceived that he would carry such his decision into effect by an act of public war.
FROM THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER.
June 25.
The intelligence received from Norfolk, of a wanton attack upon one of our armed vessels by a British frigate, has excited the most lively indignation in the bosom of every genuine American. The cap of conciliation is exhausted; every overture has been rejected with disdain; the plunder of our commerce has been followed by an open and violent act of war, almost within our harbours; and it now only remains to decide, whether we shall assert our rights with the spirit of freemen, or submit with patience and humiliation to the most insolent aggressions which a proud and ambitious foe can inflict.
To those men who are sincerely attached to the constitution of our country; to those who cherish the sacred flame of liberty which the heroes of '76 have transmitted to us with unsullied splendor; there cannot be a momentary hesitation as to the decision which it becomes us to make. Let us rally once more around the standard of independence; let us rouse the great American spirit, which in worse times, has driven from our shores the enemy who now insults us; let us prove to the world that although America is attached from principle and from interest to a pacific policy, yet, that she will resort with alacrity to war, whenever she is left only to the choice of dishonor or resistance.
It is therefore recommended to the citizens of Richmond, to assemble at the Capitol on Saturday at four o'clock, to express their sentiments on the present important crisis of our affairs, and to pledge themselves to defend their rights, liberties and independence against such daring aggressions.
FROM THE RICHMOND ARGUS.
The subsequent accounts from Norfolk of the abominable and atrocious outrage committed by the British, is a little surprising, considering the manner in which they are hypocritically caressing Mr. Monroe in London; but ought not to be alarming to any true re-
publican or friend of America. We lament the loss of the lives of some of our brave countrymen and the painful wounds of others; but, we trust, this decisive event will rouse the energy of Americans, and bring the contest concerning our rights to an issue. The spirit of 1776 will revive, and our proud and tyrannical enemies be compelled to do us justice. This must be done, however, not by combating them on the ocean, but by stopping all intercourse between the two countries, until the cries of the starving manufacturers of Great Britain shall compel the rulers of that ill-fated country to give us an ample recompense for the wrongs we have suffered, and completely secure us against their repetition.
Norfolk, June 25.

Norfolk, June 25.
Yesterday a more numerous collection of people assembled than was ever before witnessed in this place. But one voice, one sentiment, one spirit of revenge was to be heard or seen, tempered however by resignation to the will of government. The following resolutions were adopted by the meeting, and copies directed to be sent to the neighboring towns and states.
At a meeting of the citizens of the borough of Norfolk and town of Portsmouth, held at the town hall on Wednesday, the 24th June, 1807.
General Thomas Matthews unanimously called to the chair.
Samuel Moseley appointed secretary to the meeting.
The meeting after due consideration, came to the following resolutions:
Whereas the government of our country has constantly manifested an ardent inclination for the preservation of peace, and to secure that friendly disposition which might reasonably be expected from the justice of foreign nations (if such a sentiment as that of justice was to be found among them) and whereas, we as individuals, seriously deprecate the horrors of war, and view it as one of the greatest evils which can befall our country; but when we behold our fellow citizens impressed, and forced by a tyrannical and arbitrary power to fight against their own country, and basely and insidiously murdered on our coasts, it becomes necessary at this awful crisis, to be prepared to meet the consequences which such conduct and such inclinations give rise to; to cause to expect, to discipline ourselves, and be in readiness to take up arms in defence of those sacred rights which our forefathers purchased with their blood; and until our government shall have been informed of the late glaring violation of our rights and our sovereignty, in the unwarrantable and unprovoked attack upon the United States' frigate Chesapeake, Commodore Barron, within a few miles of our coast, by the British squadron, composed of the Bellona, Commodore Douglas, the Triumph, Captain Hardy, Leopard, Capt. Humphreys, and the Melampus, Captain Hawker, acting under the orders of Commodore Douglas, and the inhuman murder of our fellow citizens in the attempt of the Leopard to carry those orders into effect: Therefore,
Resolved unanimously, That all communication with the British ships of war, now within our waters, and on our coasts, and with their agent or agents among us be discontinued, and that we will use our best exertions to prevent all such intercourse, and that all persons guilty thereof shall be deemed infamous.
Resolved unanimously, That we will view with abhorrence any attempt at such communication, and deem any person or persons enemies to our country, who shall directly or indirectly hold such intercourse, or render any aid or assistance to the British ships of war or supplying them with provisions or necessaries of any kind whatever, until the decision of our government be known.
Resolved unanimously, In order the better to effect the above purpose, that a committee be appointed to correspond with the inhabitants of the neighboring counties, and those of the waters of Elizabeth river and the sea coast, notifying the flagrant outrage that has been committed and the measures passed by us, and recommending similar measures to their consideration.
Resolved unanimously, That our fellow citizens the pilots of the Chesapeake bay and Hampton, whose patriotism we hold in the highest estimation, are requested by this meeting to discontinue entirely, their professional services to all British ships of war.
Resolved unanimously, That we view this unprovoked, piratical, savage and assassination-like attack upon the Ches-
apeake, with that horror and detestation which should always attend a violation of the faith of nations and the laws of war; and we pledge our lives and our property to co-operate with the government in any measures which they may adopt, whether of vengeance or retaliation.
Resolved unanimously, That the Mayor of this borough be requested to call upon the lieutenant colonel commandant of the militia to hold in readiness, an armed force for the purposes of defence, and for carrying these resolutions into effect.
Resolved unanimously, That these resolutions be extended to all the ships of war which may hereafter anchor within our ports, 'till complete restitution is made to our government for this detestable outrage on the Chesapeake.
Resolved unanimously, That a subscription be opened and left in the possession of the chairman, to raise a fund to be applied to the relief of the wounded and the families of the killed on board the Chesapeake, under the direction of the superintendent of the hospital, the Mayor of the borough of Norfolk, and Richard Blow, esq. of Portsmouth.
Resolved unanimously, That the committee be requested to correspond with the inhabitants of the principal seaports, and endeavor as far as in their power to obtain their consent to these resolutions, so far as effectually to withhold all supplies to any British armed vessel on the coast of the United States until ample justice is obtained by our executive.
Resolved unanimously, That the superintendent of the hospital, in the event of the death of any of the unfortunate mariners of the Chesapeake, now under his care, report the same to the committee, who shall from the funds subscribed defray the expence of the funeral; and the said committee are hereby instructed to invite their fellow citizens to attend, and to make the necessary arrangements.
Resolved unanimously, That the collector be requested to furnish one of the revenue cutters to watch over and prevent any communication with any of his Britannic majesty's ships, and that the commandant of the fort be requested to co-operate with this measure.
Resolved unanimously, That copies of the proceedings of this meeting be transmitted by the chairman to the President of the United States and the Governor of Virginia, and that they be published in the newspapers of this borough.
Resolved unanimously, That the citizens of Norfolk, Portsmouth, and their vicinities, be requested to wear a crape for ten days, as a testimonial of their respect for the memory of those persons on board the Chesapeake, who have fallen victims to British tyranny and premeditated assassination.
Resolved unanimously, That this meeting approves, and deems the conduct of our fellow citizens of Hampton, in destroying the water casks belonging to the British frigate Melampus, highly laudable and praiseworthy.
Resolved unanimously, That Thomas Matthews, Chairman, Thomas Newton, jr. Luke Wheeler, Theodore Armistead, Richard E. Lee, Moses Myers, William Pennock, William Newsum, Thomas Blanchard, Daniel Beall, Seth Foster, J. W. Murdaugh, Richard Blow, and Francis S. Taylor, Be a committee to carry the foregoing resolutions into effect.
Resolved unanimously, That this meeting tender their thanks to Gen. Thomas Matthews, for his able discharge of the duties of the chair.
(Signed) THOMAS MATTHEWS Test, SAM. MOSELEY, Sec'y.
*As soon as the account of the conduct of the Leopard was known at Hampton, the inhabitants immediately destroyed upwards of 200 hogheads of water, which were on board a schooner ready to sail for the British men of war.
Baltimore, June 25.
By the Pilot who brought up the brig Meteor, which arrived on Saturday last from Norfolk, we have been informed that a party of marines, &c. from the British ships of war lying in Hampton Roads, had landed within ten miles of Norfolk, and stolen about forty head of horned cattle; and that, in consequence, a troop of horse and a company of foot had marched from that borough for the purpose of preventing a repetition of such thievish acts.
New York, June 26.
The Hamburg ship Henseutica, arrived at Plymouth on Monday from Lima, whence she sailed on the 13th Dec. last. The masters reports, that the Viceroy having heard of an English armament being destined against that place, had ordered all the soldiers to march from the camps and mountains to reinforce the town, &c. Their total force was estimated at 10,000 men. They seemed, however, to entertain but little apprehension of being actually visited, at such a distance by a force from Europe.

Secured in the United States office a patent right of a Machine for THRESHING Wheat, Rice, Oats, and other small grains.
THIS machine in point of form and operation is different from any that has ever been invented by any other person, and is calculated either to be worked by water or horse, and will thrash from 2 to 300 bushels per day, with the labor of two horses. This machine is well known upon James river in Virginia, and where it is well built it is much approved of; the expence of building will not exceed 150 DOLLARS, and the principal part of it will last until the timbers rot. It consists of knockers describing a circular motion, fixed on spokes proceeding from their centre of motion. These spokes are fixed into or pass through a shaft; around the knockers is fixed a cylinder perfectly close at all sides, with an aperture at the extremity either abreast or below, sufficiently large to discharge the straw and grain; abreast of the opposite side are placed two plated conductors for the purpose of conveying the grain to the knockers, and in its progress through them the grain is knocked out; these conductors are perpendicular to each other and parallel to the radii of the cylinder. The top conductor is acted upon by weight so as to yield to any quantity of straw that passes through them, and are turned by three wheels fixed at the opposite end. These drops are driven by the knocker shaft; the knocker shaft is driven by a vertical counter wheel either by cogs or cord; the counter wheel is driven by a horizontal cog wheel and wheel or spur, to which wheel the horse move round; the velocity of these knockers ought to accelerate the velocity of the horse, at least eleven times, and to excel the motion of the conductors about 57.

WASHINGTON CITY. WEDNESDAY, JULY 1. The mail of last evening brought the resolutions adopted at Baltimore. The meeting was more numerously attended than any heretofore held in that city. After an introductory speech by Gen. Smith, resolutions were unanimously adopted expressing abhorrence at the British outrage, and confidence in the wisdom & firmness of the administration; pledging their lives and fortunes to support the government in the measures it may adopt, and declaring that they will regard with abhorrence whoever may hold intercourse with, or afford aid to any British ships of war on our coasts.
By an article in the American, it appears that the Melampus had sent 13 American vessels to Halifax in the last 8 days.
We learn that the squadron off Virginia dispatched a messenger to Norfolk, demanding permission to obtain a supply of water (in lieu of the 200 hogheads destroyed) and in case of refusal, threatened to bombard the town. The citizens of that borough, it is said, returned for answer, "that they were prepared for the latter, in preference to aiding the enemies of their country." (Balt. Ev. Post.)
The following article is taken from Poulton's A. D. A. The Editor observes that the information is twelve days later than that previously received from the Continent. But in this he is mistaken.
Captain Davis, arrived yesterday from Lisbon, spoke, on the nineteenth inst. the ship Hazard, twenty-eight days from Amsterdam—the captain of which informed him, there had been a dreadful engagement between the Russians and French, on the second of May, in which the latter were defeated—Bonaparte had lost an arm, & was otherwise badly wounded.

MORE PROOF. Of the good effects of LEE & SON'S Genuine Medicines, shown by the following cases of cure.
LEE'S
Worm Destroying Lozenges.
This medicine, which is as innocent and mild as it is certain and efficacious in its operation, cannot injure the youngest infant, though no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, expel the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many latent disorders.
From the many cases of cures that daily come to our knowledge, we have selected the following:
Messrs Richard Lee & Son,
You are at liberty to publish the astonishing cure performed by your Lozenges on my son, 10 years old, who was afflicted with levers, pain in his side, and a continual head ache, which reduced him so low that he was unable to fit up. One of my neighbors advised me to use your Lozenges, which has had the happy effect of restoring him to a better state of health than he has enjoyed for several years, in the short space of fifteen days.
JOHN K. LILLY, Pitt Street.
Baltimore, Nov. 12. 1806.
Messrs Richard Lee & Son,
My son, five years old, has for some time past been very unhealthy, having levers, head ache and loss of appetite. Hearing of the money cures performed by your Worm Lo- zenges I was induced to give them a trial. The effect was beyond my expectation, as a large quantity of foul worms was expelled; hundreds of them were alive for some time after.
JOHN K. LILLY, Potter Street.
Baltimore Jan. 4th 1807.
Lee's Elixir.
A foreign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, asthma, Sore throats, and approaching Consumption.
To parents who may have children afflicted with the Hooping Cough this discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small, that no difficulty will arise in taking it.
Messrs Richard Lee & Son,
For a long time I have been afflicted with a severe Cough, attended with a bitter, sticky cough, sickness at stomach, with a frequent inclination to vomit—Having used a medicine which is said to have performed cures of this kind, but without receiving any benefit; hearing of Lee's Elixir, a bottle was procured at Messrs. Warner and Hanna's book store, which has effectually removed this distressing complaint. In fact it is not possible for one to say too much in favor of this invaluable medicine; being convinced that persons laboring under severe cold, by the use of Lee's Elixir would soon be restored to a perfect state of health.
