TRIAL OF A. BURR.

Opinion on the question concerning the admissibility of evidence on the indictment, for a Misdemeanor against col. Burr.
(Concluded.)
The U. States } vs. } On a misdemeanor. Aaron Burr, }
It has been also contended that the acts no more than the declarations of third persons can be given in evidence on this indictment.
It has been already said that those acts of Equipment which go to show the character of the expedition may be given in evidence. If for example, Blannerhasset, Tyler, Smith or any other persons provided arms, ammunition or provisions which were applied to the armament, this would be evidence because it would show the character of the expedition. This was done in the case of Smith and Ogden without enquiring who provided the arms for they belonged to the expedition. Captain Lewis for instance purchased several military equipments. It was not deemed necessary to show that Smith was connected with Lewis, for these purchases were made for the expedition, & Smith was not charged with providing them. He was charged with providing other means; and the means provided by Lewis served to show the character of the expedition.
But although the acts of all persons providing means applied to the expedition may be given in evidence upon the same principle that the state of the expedition may be shown, it does not follow that other acts of third persons may be given in evidence.
It has also been contended that no transactions out of the district are testimony.
This position is correct to a considerable extent, but not to the extent in which it is laid down. A declaration of Mr. Burr for example, when in Kentucky or elsewhere, that he did set on foot a military expedition on Blannerhasset's island to be carried on against the dominions of the king of Spain while the U. S. were at peace with that power, would I think be evidence, so would the actual marching of troops provided to be raised by him against the province of Mexico. Testimony which goes directly to prove the indictment, may I think be drawn from any place.
But I do not understand this to be the point really in contest. I understand the counsel of the U. S. to insist that providing means in Kentucky, that enlisting men in Kentucky, that joining the expedition in Kentucky may be given in evidence to show that the accused did begin and set on foot the expedition in Blannerhasset's island, or did provide the means at that place as charged in the indictment. This I understand to be the great question which divides the prosecution and defence.
It is I believe a general rule that in criminal prosecutions a distinct crime for which a prosecution may be instituted cannot be given in evidence in order to render it more probable that the particular crime charged in the indictment was committed. If gentlemen think me wrong in this I will certainly bear them upon the point, but I believe the position to be correct. Now providing the means for a military expedition in Kentucky to be carried on against the dominions of a prince with whom the U. S. are at peace, is certainly in itself a distinct offence upon which an indictment may be as well supported as it can be for providing means for the same or a similar expedition in Virginia. According to the rule laid down then, this testimony cannot be received unless it goes to prove directly the charges contained in the indictment. But how can it go directly to prove those charges? Does it follow that the man who has provided the means in Kentucky has also provided the means in Virginia? Certainly it does not follow; and consequently the act alleged in Kentucky do not prove the charges contained in the indictment. They would prove the defendant to have been connected in the enterprise, and gentlemen argue as if they thought this sufficient for their purpose. I shall be excused if I employ a few moments in stating my reasons for thinking it not sufficient.
I have already said, and surely no man will deny, that two distinct persons, may at different places furnish different means for the same enterprise. It will I presume not be contended that one of them may be indicted for the means provided by the other. So too, if the same man shall provide means for the same enterprise at different places, as in Virginia and Kentucky, I do not imagine that an indictment for providing arms in Virginia, could be supported by proving that he provided ammunition in Kentucky. They are distinct offences for either of which he may be punished, and the commission of the one may render more probable, but does not prove the commission of the other.
How then do gentlemen mean to make this testimony relevant? It is by making the acts of Blannerhasset, Tyler and Smith the acts of Burr, by insisting that their acts show an unlawful expedition to have been begun by him in Virginia, or that the means for that expedition were provided by him in Virginia. This being accomplished, his acts in Kentucky may be adduced to corroborate or confirm the testimony which discloses his conduct in Virginia.
As preliminary then to this testimony such proof of the specific charges contained in the indictment must be given, as may be left to the consideration of the jury.
This proof relates to place as well as to fact—"of whatsoever nature an offence indicted may be," says Hawkins, B. 2, ch. 25, sec. 35, "whether local or transitory, as seditious words or battery, &c. it seems to be agreed that if upon not guilty pleaded it shall appear that it was committed in a country different from that in which the indictment was found the defendant shall be acquitted."
This rule is the stronger in the U. S. where it is affirmed by the constitution itself, and where the jurisdiction of the court is limited to offences within the district. Its obligation therefore is complete.
If there be any direct testimony that an expedition was begun, or set on foot, or that the means were provided or prepared in Virginia, that testimony has not been heard so far as I recollect. If there be such testimony it must also be shown that the expedition was begun or that the means were prepared by the accused. No single act of his in Virginia has been offered in evidence. He made a contract in the state of Ohio for boats and provisions which may have been intended as a part of the expedition, but no contract appears to have been made in Virginia, nor were the boats constructed or provisions procured in Virginia. How then is it to appear that he began or set on foot a military expedition in Virginia, or that he provided or prepared the means for such an expedition?
It is said that if he gave orders from Kentucky or elsewhere, and in consequence of those orders the means were provided in Virginia the accused is within the letter of the act as well as its spirit, and has himself provided the means in Virginia.
If these orders were in proof, the court as well as the counsel would be enabled to view the subject with more accuracy and to treat it with more precision. Since those orders are not adduced, nor accurately stated, and the question has been argued without them, the court must decline giving any opinion, or consider the orders as offered, and say what orders would be admissible and what inadmissible. The latter course may save the bar the trouble of another argument.
To whom are orders supposed to have been given, and who are supposed to have executed them?
They must have been given to accomplices or to those who had no share in the expedition.
If accomplices, under the direction of col. Burr, have provided the means, can their liability to the penalties of the law be doubted? I presume not. If persons engaged in the expedition have provided the means for carrying it on, it will I presume be admitted that they are within the letter and the spirit of the act. Each man has himself provided and prepared those particular means which he has furnished. If col. Burr, as was the case with col. Smith, has supplied money for the expedition, then money may be charged as the means provided by him; but if that money was advanced to an accomplice, its investment in means for the expedition is the act of the accomplice, for which being a free agent, he is himself responsible. The accomplice has committed the very act which the law furnishes. Has the accused by suggesting or procuring that act, also committed it?
I will not say how far the rule that penal laws must be construed strictly may be carried without incurring the censure of disregarding the sense of the legislature. It may, however, be safely affirmed that the offence must come clearly within the description of the law according to the terms employed, or it is not punishable under the law. Now to do an act, or to advise or procure an act, or to be connected or leagued with one who does that act, are not the same either in language or in common parlance; and if they are not the same, a penalty affixed to the one is not necessarily affixed to the other. The penalty affixed to the act of providing the means for a military expedition is not affixed to the act of advising or procuring those means to be provided, or of being associated with the man who has provided them. The distinction made by the law between these persons is well settled, and has been two frequently urged to require further explanation. The one is a principal, the other an accessory. In all misdemeanors punishable only by a statute which describes as the sole offender the person who commits the prohibited
act, the one is within and the other not within the statute. In passing the act under consideration, Congress obviously contemplated this distinction. I presume that in a prosecution under the 3d section for fitting out a privateer, it would not be alleged that a person who was concerned with the men who actually fitted out the privateer, but who performed no part himself, could be convicted on an indictment not for being concerned in fitting out the privateer but for actually fitting her out. These are stated in that section as separate offences.
This distinction taken in the law is well understood and cannot be considered as overlooked by those who framed penal acts. They cannot be considered as intending to describe one offender when they describe another, and if experience suggests defects in the penal code, the legislature exclusively judges how far those defects are to be remedied.
While expounding the terms of the act it may not be improper to notice an argument advanced by the attorney for the U. S. which was stopped by observing that he had not correctly understood the opinion delivered in the case of trason . He understood that opinion as approving the doctrine laid down by Keeling and Hale, that an accessory before the fact might plead in bar of an indictment as accessory that he had been acquitted as principal, whence it was inferred that on an indictment for doing an act, evidence of advising or producing that act might be received. I was certainly very far from approving this doctrine. On the contrary I declared it to contradict every idea I had ever formed on the subject. But if it were correct, I endeavored to show that it could not affect that case. My disapprobation of the doctrine induced me to look further into it, and my persuasion that it is not law is confirmed. Hale v. 2, page 292 , says "if A and B be indicted for the murder of C, upon their evidence it appears that A committed the fact, and B was not present but accessory before the fact by commanding it, B shall be discharged."
In H. 2, ch. 35, sec. 11. Hawkins discussed this subject, shows in a note the contradiction in those authorities which maintain the doctrine, cites the opposing authorities, and obviously approves the opinion which is here given. It is apparent then that the law never considers the commission and procurement of an act, even where both are criminal as the same act.
If the means were provided by order of the accused, by persons not accomplices and not guilty under the act, the law may be otherwise. I shall not exclude such testimony. There is however some doubt whether the place of trial should be where the orders were given or where they were executed.
At common law, if an act was procured or advised at one place and executed at another, it was doubted whether the procurer could be tried at either place because the offence was not complete at either. This difficulty was removed by a statute made in the reign of Edward 5th. If there be testimony showing by orders from the accused, means were provided in Virginia by a person not an accomplice, or may be received, and the question respecting the scene of trial put in a way for final decision.
The question whether all the means must be provided before the offence described in the statute had been committed relates to the effect rather than to the excision of the territory. I shall certainly not reject any evidence which shows that any means were provided by the accused in the place charged in the indictment.
Upon the subject of beginning and setting on foot a military expedition or enterprise it would be unnecessary at this time to say anything were it not on account of the question respecting the introduction of testimony out of the district.
What is an expedition? What is an enterprise?
An expedition, if we consult Johnston, is "a march or voyage with martial intentions." In this sense it does not mean the body which marches but the march itself. The term is however sometimes employed to designate the armament itself, as well as the movement of that armament.
An enterprise is "an undertaking of hazard, an arduous attempt." The proper meaning then of the word also describes the general undertaking and not the armament with which that undertaking is to be accomplished.
The first count in the indictment charges that Burr began the expedition in Blannerhasset's Island. The second and third that he set on foot the enterprise in Blannerhasset's Island.
If the term expedition is to be taken in its common and direct sense, that is to mean a march or voyage with martial intentions, it began where that march or voyage began; and it must have been begun by the accused to bring him within the act.
If the term be taken in its figurative sense to designate the armament itself instead of the movement of that armament, then I cannot readily conceive
an act which begins an expedition, unless the same act may also be said to provide the means of an expedition. The formation of the plan in the mind is not the commencement of the expedition within the act. One law punishes no mental crimes not brought into open deed. If it did, the first disclosure would be the beginning. I find a difficulty in conceiving any act which amounts to beginning an expedition which does not also amount to providing the means for an expedition. However, if there can be such an act, and if it has been committed in Virginia, it may certainly be given in evidence.
The same observations apply to setting on foot an enterprise.
The remarks are made to show what it will be necessary to prove in order to let in corroborative proof.
It is then the opinion of the court that the declarations of third persons not forming a part of the transactions, and not made in the presence of the accused, cannot be received in evidence in this case.
That the acts of accomplices, except so far as they prove the character or object of the expedition, cannot be given in evidence.
That the acts of the accused in a different district which constitute in themselves substantive causes for a prosecution cannot be given in evidence, unless they go directly to prove the charge laid in the indictment.
That any legal testimony which shows the expedition to be military, or to have been designed against the dominions of Spain may be received.
That any testimony showing that the accused performed within the district any one of the acts charged in the indictment may be received.
Gentlemen will know how to apply these principles. Should any difficulty occur in applying them, the particular case will be brought before the court and decided.
After the opinion was delivered several questions were addressed to the chief justice by the counsel for the U. S. as to the effect of that opinion, upon particular points. At length it was deemed the most eligible course to adjourn the court till to-morrow, in order that the counsel on both sides might be furnished with copies of the opinion, and be enabled to judge of its application to the evidence which might be offered to prove any particular fact.
The court adjourned till to-morrow ten o'clock.

BRITISH TREATY.
An interesting pamphlet made its appearance yesterday, entitled "The British Treaty" dedicated "to those members of Congress who have the sense to perceive and the spirit to pursue the true interests of their country." The following is given as the "purport of that treaty."
The first article, like the first of that concluded on the 19th November, 1754, by Mr. Jay, is merely formal; and the second confirms the first ten articles of the old treaty. It is, therefore, proper to give a glance at them.
The first, as is already mentioned, is merely formal; and the second is executed.
The third gives to each party the right of passing through the territories of the other, in America, except within the limits of the Hudson's Bay Company. We find in it the following clause. "But it is understood, that this article does not extend to the admission of vessels of the United States into the sea ports, harbors, bays or creeks of his majesty's said territories, nor into such parts of the rivers in his majesty's said territories as are between the mouth thereof and the highest port of entry from the sea, except in small vessels trading bona fide between Montreal and Quebec, under such regulations as shall be established to prevent the possibility of any frauds in this respect. Nor to the admission of British vessels from the sea into the rivers of the United States beyond the highest ports of entry for foreign vessels from the sea. The river Mississippi shall, however, according to the treaty of peace, be entirely open to both parties; and it is further agreed, that all the ports and places on its eastern side, to whichsoever of the parties belonging, may freely be resorted to and used by both parties, in as ample a manner as any of the Atlantic ports or places of the United States, or any of the ports or places of his majesty in Great Britain."
The fourth article, after mentioning that, "it is uncertain whether the Mississippi extends so far to the northward as to be intersected by a line to be drawn due west from the Lake of the Woods, in the manner mentioned in the treaty of peace," provides, "for a joint survey of the northern part of that river;" and agrees, that "if on the result of such survey it should appear that the said river would not be intersected by such a line," the parties will regulate the boundary in that quarter by amicable negotiation.
The fifth article, after mentioning that "doubts had arisen what river was truly intended under the name of the river St. Croix," provides for ascertaining that river, and the latitude and longitude of its mouth and source.
The sixth, seventh and eighth articles have been executed.
The ninth provides for persons holding lands in the dominions of one of the parties who are subjects or citizens of the other; and the tenth is a stipulation in favor of moral honesty, viz. that neither party shall sequester or confiscate debts or property in the funds, &c.
The third article of the new treaty provides for and regulates commerce between the United States and the British East Indies, in the same terms as the thirteenth article of the old treaty, except that the words, and sailing direct from the ports of the said states, are inserted in the first clause, which now runs thus: "His Majesty consents that the vessels belonging to the citizens of the United States of America, and sailing direct from ports of the said states, shall be admitted and hospitably received in all the seaports and harbors of the British territories in the East Indies, &c."
The fourth article of the new treaty is the same as the fourteenth of the old one, and stipulates for a general liberty of trade between the United States and the British dominions in Europe.
The fifth article of the new treaty is the same as the fifteenth of the old one, (regulating the duties on ships and merchandise,) with two exceptions: The first reserves to the United States the right previously reserved to Great Britain, of imposing a tonnage duty equal to what shall be imposed by the other party. The second is made by substituting a new clause for the reservation formerly made by Great Britain, of "the right of imposing on American vessels entering into the British ports in Europe, such duty as may be adequate to counteract the difference of duty now payable on the importation of European and Asiatic goods when imported into the United States or British or in American vessels." Instead of this, the following words make part of the new article: "And in the trade of the two nations with each other, the same duties on exportation or importation of goods or merchandise shall be imposed, and the same drawbacks and bounties allowed in either country, whether the exportation or importation shall be in British or American vessels."
The sixth article of the new treaty states that the parties cannot agree

about our trade to the British West Indies; but that "while they will attempt an amicable agreement, both must exercise their existing rights."
The seventh of this, like the sixth of the other treaty, provides for the appointment of consuls, &c.
The eighth of this, like the seventh of the other, provides for speedy decision on the capture and detention of vessels suspected of carrying enemy's goods or contraband of war. There is added a promise on the part of Great Britain, that hereafter indemnification shall be granted for unjust seizure, for detention and vexation.
The ninth article is the same as the eighteenth of the old treaty (respecting contraband), only that tar and pitch are excepted from the catalogue, unless when going to a place of naval equipment.
The tenth article is the same as the eighteenth of the old (respecting blockade) with the addition, that passengers not in the military service of an enemy shall not be taken and made prisoners.
By the eleventh article, citizens of the U. States may carry European goods to the colonies of enemies of G. Britain (from the ports of the U. S.) provided that both vessel and cargo be bona fide American property, that the goods shall have been unladen within the U. S. and that (in addition to that part of the duty already reserved from the drawback on exportation) the further sum of one per cent. ad valorem on such goods shall be paid. They may also export from the U. S. to Europe, the produce of colonies of the enemies of G. Britain, provided they being neutral property, shall have been unladen as before, and that two per cent. ad valorem be paid on exportation in addition to what is reserved on the drawback. After the expiration of the treaty, all antecedent rights on these subjects are to revive.
The twelfth article extends to ships of G. Britain, and of all nations who shall adopt the same regulation, the protection of our neutrality from a marine league to five miles from our shore.
The thirteenth article is substantially the same as the nineteenth of the old treaty, regulating privateers.
The fourteenth is the same as the twentieth of the old treaty, respecting pirates.
The fifteenth article of this treaty, like the twenty-first of the other, prohibits the subjects or citizens of one party, to accept commissions from enemies of the other, and to commit acts of hostility.
The sixteenth, like the twenty second of the other, forbids reprisals before a demand of satisfaction.
The seventeenth is the same as the twenty-third of the old treaty, which, after stipulating that "the ships of war of each of the contracting parties shall at all times be hospitably received in the ports of the other," provides that American vessels driven by stress of weather, danger of enemies, or other misfortune, to seek shelter, shall be received in ports into which such vessels could not ordinarily claim to be admitted. This stipulation is now made reciprocal.
The eighteenth article, like the 24th of the old treaty, prohibits the armament of privateers belonging to the enemies of either, and the sale of their prizes in ports of the other party.
The nineteenth is the same as the 25th of the old treaty, permitting ships of war to bring in their prizes and take them away again without payment of duties, and prohibiting the entry of ships of the enemies of either party, which shall have made prize unless driven by stress of weather; in which case they are to depart as soon as possible.
The 20th is the same as the 26th of the old treaty, providing for merchants and others in one country when war breaks out with the other.
The 21st of this, like the 27th of the other, relates to giving up persons charged with murder or forgery.
The 22d is a new article respecting shipwrecks, and promising humane treatment.
The 23d secures to each the rights of the most favored nation, and declares that "all treaties hereafter made by either with any nation, shall ipso facto be extended to all their favorable operations in the other."
The 24th engages to join in abolishing the slave trade.
The 25th contains the stipulation that this treaty is not to interfere with antecedent engagements. And,
The 26th limits the duration to ten years from the exchange of ratifications.
It is dated the 31st December, 1806; but previous to the signature two notes were given, by the British to the American commissioners. The first keeps open for future discussion a claim of Britain not to pay more on goods sent from Canada or New Brunswick, into the territories of the U. S. than is paid on the importation of such goods in American ships. The second note declares that the king of G. Britain has directed his commissioners before they sign the treaty, to deliver that note, in order that a fair understanding may be had by all parties of his majesty's views, in consequence of the blockading decree, to which the attention of the American commissioners is invited. The decree so recent in point of time, and so novel and monstrous in substance, that his majesty is at a loss to calculate on events; but supposing, however, that it will be formally abandoned or totally relinquished by Bonaparte, or in case he is mistaken in that supposition, he rests with confidence on the good sense of the government of the U. S. that they will not submit to an innova-
tion so destructive of the rights of neutral commerce. Should he, however, be mistaken in all these points, and the enemy should actually carry into execution his threats, and neutral nations acquiesce in such usurpation, he may probably, though reluctantly, be obliged to retaliate. The treaty secures to the U. S. so many privileges of neutral commerce, that at a time when his majesty and all neutral nations are threatened with such extension of belligerent pretensions from his enemies, without any explanation from the U. S. what they will do in case Bonaparte attempts to force on them his decree, his majesty must reserve to himself to act according to contingencies in that particular, the signing of the treaty notwithstanding. And as the distance of the American commissioners from their government renders a previous explanation impossible, his majesty authorises his commissioners to finish the treaty. This is done under the fullest persuasion, that, before the treaty returns to Europe from America ratified, time will discover the formal abandonment or tacit relinquishment of the enemy of his pretensions; or in case that should not take place, that the government of the U. S. by their conduct or assurances will secure his majesty that they will not submit to innovations so destructive of maritime rights. But in case Bonaparte enforces his decree according to its tenor, and if neither by the assurances nor conduct of America a disposition is shown to oppose it, his majesty wishes it to be fairly and clearly understood, that he will not consider himself bound by the signature of his commissioners to ratify; or in case he ratifies, he will not and cannot be precluded from adopting such measures as may seem necessary for countervailing the designs of his enemy, whenever they shall occur, and be of such an extraordinary nature as to require extraordinary remedies.
LONDON, August 10.
HIS MAJESTY'S SPEECH.
Parliament was prorogued this afternoon with the following speech from his majesty's commissioners:—
"My Lords and Gentlemen, "We have it in command from his majesty to express the satisfaction with which he finds himself enabled to give you that recess which, after the great and diligent exertions which you have made in the dispatch of public business, must at this advanced season of the year, be so particularly desirable.
"His Majesty has been graciously pleased to direct us to return his thanks for the steady loyalty and attachment to his person and government, and zealous devotion to the public service, which have characterised all your deliberations, and most especially to thank you for the seasonable exertions which you have enabled him to make for the augmentation of the military force of his kingdom.
"Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
"His majesty has commanded us to return you his warmest thanks for the supplies which you have granted with so much cheerfulness for the current year; and when he considers the provision which you have made for those contingent and unforeseen services, which the events of the war may render necessary, his majesty has the greatest satisfaction in recognizing the wisdom wherewith, in a time of extraordinary difficulties, you have anticipated the possible demands which those difficulties may occasion.
"My Lords and Gentlemen,
"His majesty commands us to assure you, that he deeply deplores the unfortunate issue of the war upon the continent.
The immense extension of the power and influence of France, and the undistinguished determination of the enemy to employ the means and resources of those countries which he possesses or controls for the purpose of effecting the ruin of this kingdom, undoubtedly present a formidable view of the dangers and difficulties which this country has to encounter.
"But his majesty trusts, that the loyal and brave people over whom he reigns, are not to be daunted or disheartened.
"From the recollection of those difficulties under which his people have successfully struggled, and of those dangers which they have happily surmounted, his majesty derives the consolation of believing that the same spirit and perseverance which have hitherto remained unbroken, will continue to be exerted with unabated vigor and success.
"And while his majesty commands us to repeat the assurances of his constant readiness to entertain any proposals that may lead to a secure and honorable peace, he commands us at the same time to express his confidence, that his Parliament and his people will feel with him the necessity of persevering in those vigorous efforts which alone can give the character of honor to any negotiation, or the prospect of security or permanency to any peace.
"His majesty, therefore, trusts that his people will always be ready to support him in any measure which may be necessary to defeat the designs of his enemies against the independence of his majesty's dominions, and to maintain against any undue pretensions, and against any hostile combination, those just rights which his majesty is always desirous to exercise with temper and moderation, but which, as essential to the honor of his crown, and the true interest of his people, he is determined never to surrender."
DIFFERENCES WITH AMERICA.
The following resolution and circular letter have been drawn up by the American Chamber of Commerce of Liverpool:
At a general and very numerous meeting of the members of this association, held this day, it was
Resolved unanimously, That the following circular letter, prefixed to this resolution, be printed, and that the Vice-President, (in the absence of the President) be requested to sign the same, on behalf of the American Chamber of Commerce, in Liverpool, and to transmit a copy thereof to Philip San-der, esq. chairman of the committee of American merchants in London.
(CIRCULAR.)
Sir,
A meeting of the members of the American Chamber of Commerce at this port, has been convened this day, for the purpose of taking into consideration the present serious and critical state of affairs, as relating to the intercourse between the British empire and the U. States of America.
When it is considered how essentially the vital interests of both the countries are concerned in a maintenance of the relations of amity and commerce, and particularly at the present juncture, it must be the wish of every sincere friend to his country, whether Britain or America, these relations should not be interrupted, unless such interruption be rendered inevitable by some imperious and irresistible necessity, arising from that regard which it is incumbent on every country to pay to its honor and its interest.
If the manufacturers and merchants of this kingdom shall be convinced that the conduct of the British government towards the United States of America, has been, and continues, such as becomes a government desirous of preserving the relations of peace and amity; and if it should now be found that these relations cannot longer be preserved, without compromising the honor, and thereby sacrificing the best interests of the British empire, it is hoped there are no sacrificers or privations to which the manufacturers and merchants will not cheerfully submit, in order to prevent such consequences.
If, on the contrary, the manufacturers and merchants of this kingdom shall be convinced that the intercourse, which has now subsisted for more than twenty years, between the British empire and the United States of America, with so many, and such progressively increasing advantages to each, is in danger of being interrupted by an assertion to claims, incompatible with a due regard to the equal rights of both countries, or by unjust conduct on the part of either the British government, or of any persons acting under its authority, it then becomes a duty to exercise that invaluable privilege, the essential bulwark of the British Constitution—of respectfully making such representations to the government as the circumstances of the case may require.
And as these circumstances may be such as to render it highly important that the persons making such representations should act with promptness, and in concert, I am requested to inform you that, if such circumstances should arise, the Members of the American Chamber of Commerce, in Liverpool, hold themselves in readiness to correspond and co-operate with the manufacturers and merchants of Great Britain and Ireland, for the attainment of the important objects herein mentioned.
I have the honor to be, sir,
Your obedient servant,
JOHN RICHARDSON,
Vice President.

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 1.
Notice has been given, on the part of the Danish Consulate, to all persons engaged in commerce and navigation, that official advices have been received, which contain the satisfactory assurance, that notwithstanding what has passed at Copenhagen, and notwithstanding the detaining and carrying in of several Danish ships, not the smallest disturbance exists between the courts of G. Britain and Denmark; and nothing has happened which can give any well founded cause for alarm.
WASHINGTON CITY.
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30.
Since the turn which the trials at Richmond have taken, the federal prints have become extremely jealous of any animadversions on the proceedings of the court. In some few instances the republican prints have dared to question the correctness of the opinions pronounced by the Chief Justice, or to regret the existence of that strange state of things which has precluded a full disclosure of that very testimony, for which the nation has been so long looking with solicitude, which is in fact intimately connected with the illumination of several important points, and which the accused himself before the trial had avowed his sincere desire to have laid before the public. For this, not only these prints are denounced, but all the republican prints and the administration into the bargain. For this unattonable sin, which dares to question judicial infallibility, even the President is reprobated.
Now, the truth is, that, considering the interesting nature of the trial of Burr, and its implication of great political events, there has never, perhaps, been exhibited by the prints of any country, a more memorable abstinence and proof of self command. Notwithstanding the storm raised by his machinations, it was hushed the moment he got into the hands of justice; and in few, very few instances since, has there been any severity of remark. While the various questions discussed were pending before the court, little, if anything has been said. When decided, it is indisputably as much the right of the citizen to discuss these points, to express his doubts of the correctness of a judicial decision, and to assign his reasons, as it is to examine any other proceedings of any other department of the government. It is true, that an honest man will conduct this enquiry with the strictest regard to truth, and with all the delicacy in his power. But if he is convinced of the error or dishonor of the judge, he will not hesitate to assign his reasons, and thereby discharge that duty which he owes his country. Let it not be said that the judiciary is irresponsible to public opinion, or that they are only so far responsible to it as they are made by the constitutional provisions that apply to them. In no country is any man irresponsible to the public opinion; and in this country it is idle to hold such a language. It is true that public opinion cannot constitutionally pass a judgment, except in the way prescribed by the constitution; but it is equally true, that it may attach such an odium to him as to make his removal his own act. This is an extreme case; nor do we mean to say that the remark is now applicable to any judge of the U. S. but the case may in repartly exist.
Besides, what is among the greatest, if not the greatest security for the faithful discharge of judicial as well as all other public duty, but a regard to character; a knowledge that the eyes of the world are upon us, ready to approve or condemn as we act ably and justly? Would that reputation be worth a thing that did not flow from an enlightened and free judgment from a judgment equally prepared, according to the evidence brought before it, to approve or condemn. It is absurd then to silence freedom of enquiry upon any subject; the mind in this country is unlettered; nothing can be too sacred to be screened from investigation; the bare idea of its being unable to stand this test is destructive of its sacredness.
But the federal prints, while they convert the free enquiry of republican prints into detraction and persecution, ought themselves to be peculiarly careful to avoid being detected in outraths. If so, what are we to think of the following extract from the Gazette of the U. S.?
"Neither Washington nor Adams ever, by proclamation, pronounced the guilt of an offender to be proved beyond a doubt, and afterwards put him upon trial to have it ascertained whether his guilt could be proved or not. Such a flagitious interference of the executive with the judicial authority and with the impartial administration of justice is as unexampled as it is indacent and wicked."
The plain implication is, that Mr. Jefferson did by proclamation pronounce the guilt of A. Burr to be proved beyond a doubt. And yet not a word to this effect is to be found in any proclamation issued by the executive; indeed, so far as our recollection serves us, the name of Aaron Burr is not even mentioned in the proclamation. This last circumstance may possibly be otherwise; but we think not.
The fact is, that while the western expedition was disclosing itself, the federalists were loud in their calls for information. The President was charged with treachery for his silence. His energy was doubted: an alarm was sounded; vigorous measures were called for. During this time the friends of the administration retained their confidence in them; they inculcated the propriety of temperance in the public mind; they had no doubt but that the government was pursuing the best measures for the public safety, and they realised the great advantages that might flow from the secrecy with which it conducted its operations. But the public solicitude reached the deliberations of Congress; and the House of Representatives called for information. Information, this called for, was given, and then, and not till then did the President make that enclosure, which is now termed perse-
cution, in which disclosure he gave his opinion of the guilt of Aaron Burr.—What since has occurred in relation to this man? He has been arrested, and brought before a public tribunal. Is this persecution? He has had all the benefits of a full and fair trial. Is this persecution? The government, at a great expense, has brought forward a cloud of witnesses, and he has done the same—and the simple enquiry that has been so long depending before the circuit court is, whether all the information possessed by these witnesses, on one side as well as the other, shall come out. Is this persecution? Is it persecution on the part of the government, to offer to open the doors of truth so wide that all men may behold the interior of this solemn temple? And when opened, to submit the decision to the award of an honest jury, and a tribunal not pretended to be animated by any political sympathies with it? The thing won't do; the tale does not bear telling. If there be any persecution, it is the government that is persecuted, by having ascribed to them the darkest imputations, and by shutting out that light which would most effectually silence them.
Extract of a letter, dated London, August 15.
"Messrs. Malletts have just received information by way of Paris, that the Shephard ss. Dean, from London to N. York having been carried into Bilbao, the judge at Bilbao has declared the capture to be unjustifiable and has condemned the captors with damages and interest. The reasons given by the captors for detention were—1st. The French decree of the 21st Nov. declaring England to be in a state of blockade—2d. That she carried more passengers than her papers mentioned. 3d. That her bills of lading were not signed.
Capt. Sickeney, from Elsinore, informs, that a British squadron lay there the 3rd August, consisting of about 20 sail of the line, from 15 to 20 frigates, a large number of ships and brigs, bomb vessels, fire ships, &c. 200 sail of transports with 40,000 troops. Many of the vessels were loaded with ordnance. Captain S. further informs, that a British minister landed at Elsinore and proceeded to Copenhagen, to enquire of the Danish government, whether they intended to side with the French or English; and that the answer was, that they intended to preserve their neutrality.
A draft has been made of one fifth of the militia of Canada for its defence, to be equipped at the expense of government. The Canadian papers say the men volunteered their services, and that the French subjects in particular discovered the same loyalty as the English.
Norfolk, Sept. 24.
Yesterday a meeting took place between Dr. Clark and Captain Gordon, of the Chesapeake, in consequence of a dispute on the subject of Commodore Barron's conduct—several shots were exchanged without effect. The affair terminated in the Doctor's favor, a ball having gone through the arm from Lieutenant Crane, the friend of Captain Gordon!
QUEBEC, Sept. 3.
In consequence of the preparations for war, which have been resorted to in the United States, during the existing differences between that country and Great Britain, similar measures have been recently adopted in this part of his majesty's dominions.
During the last ten days a levy of one fifth of the militia men, between the age of 18 and 30, has been effected, nearly throughout the whole province. The zeal which has been manifested on this occasion, with the exception of here and there a few individuals, will do lasting honor to the province of Lower Canada.
MONTREAL, Sept. 7.
This city, in the course of the week past, has been honored with the company of his excellency lieutenant governor Gore, of the Upper Province, the honorable chief justice Alcock, the attorney general, and a number of other gentlemen of distinction.
From the Boston Chronicle.
HALIFAX COURT MARTIAL.
The mock trial, but actual murder of John Wilson alias Jenkins Rifford, at Halifax, presents circumstances mortifying to the hirelings of Britain, and the federal faction in this town. They have represented the men taken from the Chesapeake to be the identical deserters from the frigate Halifax, while at Norfolk; and that Com. Barron knew them to be on board, though he returned an evasive answer to the enquiry of Capt. Humphreys. They have also asserted, that the President designedly stated that the men claimed by the British consul as deserters from the Halifax, were native Americans, when in fact they were Englishmen. These assertions are proved to be erroneous, by the report of the trial.
The men mentioned in admiral Berkleys orders to have been on board the Chesapeake, were alleged to be deserters from the Bona, Bellisle, Triumph, Chichester, Halifax, and Zeno. The answer of commodore Barron was, that he knew of no men of such descriptions to be on board the Chesapeake. The men demanded by lord Townsend, through the British consul at Norfolk, as deserters from the Halifax, were named Hill, North, Hubert, and Ratford; those taken by Capt. Humphreys from the Chesapeake, were named Story, Martin, Ward, and Wil-

son. The three firsts acknowledged by the British to be deserters from the Melampus; and we know they were taken by that vessel from the American brig Neptune, captain Crafts of New York.
Ratford, who is said to have deserted from the Halifax, entered under the name of Wilson. Lord Townsend declares, that when he visited the Chesapeake's rendezvous at Norfolk he did not see him, nor did any of the Leopard's crew recognize him, though it is said he formerly belonged to that ship.
When a man, therefore, was not recognized by his shipmates, how could it be expected or supposed that a deserter should know he was a deserter; and where is the evidence to substantiate the charge so often made against him?
It appears even from this document, that the men claimed by the British as deserters from the Halifax, and who, as the President of the U. S. affirms, "had been proved to be native Americans," were not on board the Chesapeake, except Ratford, who assumed another name; and it has not been satisfactorily proved that he was an Englishman.
It clearly appears, then, that Com. Barron avoided the enlistment of such of the deserters from the Halifax, as had been either recognized or claimed by their officers, and that there was no cause for the gross attack on our National Sovereignty.
Hence, then, the outrage must be viewed by all true Americans as an unprovoked and wanton display of that arrogance and cupidity, which is so peculiar to the British nation; a character which has had a tendency to deprive them of the confidence, friendship and respect of the greatest portion of Europe, and is rapidly verging them to the shades of ruin and debasement, if not of annihilation.
TRIAL OF AARON BURR.
ON THE INDICTMENT FOR A MISDEMEANOR EXAMINATION OF EVIDENCE.
FRIDAY, SEPT. 18.
James McDowell.
Mr. Hay. Did you go as low as the Chickasaw Bluffs? A. I did. Q. What number of men were assembled at the mouth of Cumberland river? A. About 100. Q. How many additional men joined them there? A. I do not recollect. Q. Did you see any boxes of arms? A. No. Q. Did you see any guns with bayonets? A. I saw a few. Q. Any pistols? A. Six or eight pair, and some rifles. Q. Do you know of any men who joined them at Fort Massac? Mr. Burr , objected to this question. Fort Massac was in the Indiana Territory— Mr. Hay , Did you see any powder? A. Yes. Q. What quantity? A. A couple of small cakes. Q. Did you see any bullets; and what quantity? A. I helped to run some myself, and I saw one barrel about two thirds full. I saw those bullets below Bayou Pierre. Q. Did you see Blennerhassett or Smith? A. Yes. Q. Did this party seem to be under Burr's command? A. They said, it was col. Burr's boats and party. They regarded themselves as under his direction. Q. Were there any other officers apparently under Burr's command? A. col. Tyler was an officer and Mr. Blennerhassett seemed to be one; but not to have so much command as col. Tyler. Mr. Wirt , Did you see any agricultural tools such as ploughs and hoes, adapted to the settlement of lands? A. Not any. Q. Were there any families; that is, any men with wives? A. There were two families. Q. Of what description of character was this party composed? A. Principally of young men. Q. Did they appear to be men accustomed to plantation labor? A. Some of them appeared fit; but most of them seemed like gentlemen.
Mr. Hay presumed that it would not be departing from the opinion of the court, if he asked a question concerning some transaction out of the U. S. which might serve to elucidate the state of the party at the mouth of Cumberland. Might he not, for instance, inquire whether the witness had seen any boxes of arms at Bayou Pierre; because it was perfectly fair to infer, that if they had not been subsequently received, they must have been with the party at the mouth of Cumberland river.
Mr. Burr . No precise inference can be drawn from that circumstance; because these arms may have been received into the boats below the line of Tennessee.
The Chief Justice thought it a proper question: if the acts attempted to be proved were done in the U. S. evidence might be drawn from any place to prove them. But no evidence could be produced to prove an act, that was done in the U. S.
Mr. Baker . This is really a strange mode of inferring circumstances by contrast. The witness says expressly that they were not at the mouth of Cumberland, and yet he is to be interrogated whether he did not see them at Bayou Pierre.
Mr. McDowell . I did not say, that they were not at the mouth of Cumberland. I said only, that I did not see them there.
Mr. Hay . Was there then any fact to induce you to believe that there were chests of arms on board? A. I did not see them. But they took in some
boxes at Blennerhassett's island. Q. Did they take in any boxes between the mouth of Cumberland and Bayou Pierre? A. None.
Mr. Wirt . You say that there were about 100 men at the mouth of Cumberland river. Was there any accession to this party afterwards? A. It was increased before we got to Cole's Creek. Q. What was the total amount of the party? A. There were about 180 at Cole's Creek. Q. Was there any application to you to join them? A. Mr. Blennerhassett applied to me. Q. In what manner? A. He asked me to go along with him; but I said I did not wish to go without knowing where they were going. He was at me two or three times. He said that many men were going, without knowing any more than I did. I told him I had very little in the world; but that I did not wish to leave it in that way.
Mr. Burr here interrupted the examination. He observed that the counsel for the prosecution were bound to prove the overt act first; that there was no impropriety in producing circumstances explanatory of the overt act; but how could these conversations between other persons, and held in his absence contribute to establish this act, or how could they affect him?
Mr. Hay contended that these circumstances might contribute to show the intentions of the party and the character of the enterprise. The Chief Justice considered this as admissible testimony. If the counsel for the prosecution charge a military assemblage at the mouth of Cumberland, they were at liberty to produce every circumstance explanatory of the nature of that assemblage. He considered conversations among the men themselves at the mouth of Cumberland as admissible, because they contributed to show the nature of the expedition; and why should not conversations that were afterwards held, be as explanatory as those which were there maintained? The charge too, was not confined to the mouth of that river, but was extended to any place below that, which was within the limits of the U. S. It is then immaterial where these conversations passed, because they make a part of the transactions at the places actually charged.
Mr. Burr objected that these conversations were not held within the U. S. because the jurisdiction of Mississippi had never extended beyond the margin of the Mississippi. Some conversation here ensued, when Mr. McDowell was dismissed, and William Love (the quoadam groom of Blennerhassett) was called into court.
William Love . Mr. Hay , Did you not go down with the boats? A. I went down from Mr. Blennerhassett's island. I considered myself as his servant. Q. Did you see any boxes of arms? A. I saw one chest in Mr. Floyd's boat. Q. How many men went from Blennerhassett's island? A. About 25. Q. Did any more men join you on the way? A. None. Q. Were there any other boats at the mouth of Cumberland? A. Some, but not belonging to our party. Q. Did any men join you before you got there? A. Mr. Blennerhassett did—Q. How many boats went down the mouth of Cumberland river? A. I do not recollect how many. Q. Were there 10? were there 6? A. There were more than 6 altogether. Q. Did no one join you at the mouth of Cumberland but col. Burr? A. Yes, some more. Q. Who were in the boats? A. Mr. Floyd had joined us with 3 boats at the falls of the Ohio—one was loaded with provisions, and the rest had provisions likewise. Q. How many men were in these boats? A. I do not recollect. Q. Were there 20? A. There were about 8. Q. How many boats were there in all? A. There were four of col. Feller's; two of col. Burr's from Nashville; one of Mr. Ellis's; and 2 of Mr. Floyd's, who joined at the falls of Ohio; and capt. Dean's boat, called the commissary's boat; and one small boat of Mr. Blennerhassett's.
Mr. Hay . Tell me what you know about the arms; and recollect what you said before on this subject—(Counsel for the accused objected to this mode of interrogation.)—How many chests of arms did you see at the mouth of Cumberland? A. I saw one chest and a box with rifles. There were several other chests like that one, but whether they contained Mr. Blennerhassett's books, or the arms, I am not able to say. Q. What was the size of the chest? A. Of course as long as the musket. Q. But of what depth? A. I never measured the dimensions, but it was about as deep as my knee. Q. Could you straddle over it with your legs? A. I could not. Q. Where did you first see this chest? A. At the mouth of Cumberland.
Mr. McDowell . What sort of arms? A. French. Q. I mean of what form & nature—Were there any bayonets? A. There were. Q. Was this box opened? A. It was opened by the carelessness of the people, who took it in the boat. Q. What kind of chest was it? A. It was rough. Q. Were there any others of the same appearance? A. Yes; but I know not their contents.—Q. Do you recollect one thing; were these chests heavy? A. They were. Q. Did you see any other military apparatus; any bullets? A. I did. There were some bullets in a barrel, standing in the bow of one of col. Tyler's boats. Some said there were about 600 in it.
Mr. Wirt . Did you see any powder? A. I am not certain whether I saw one or two; but I am certain that I saw one tin canister of powder, that was put on board at Mr. Blennerhassett's island.
Mr. Blennerhassett . You said that you saw the boxes that were said to contain my books in the commissary boat, did you notice them? A. I did
not see them. Q. Did any body tell you that I had put arms on board? A. No one.
Mr. Hay . Did you go ashore at the mouth of Cumberland? A. I did. Q. What passed there? A. All the young went up. Col. Burr wanted them to come up, for him to pay his addresses to them. Q. Well; and where did he receive them? A. A little piece above the bank. Q. You did not see them form a circle? A. No. I was not with them.
Thomas Hartley . Mr. Hay . Were you at the mouth of Cumberland? A. No, I was at Fort Massac when the boats were there. I had left it two weeks before. Q. You were with Col. Burr at Fort Massac? A. I was. Col. Burr objected to this question. Fort Massac was in the Indiana territory. Q. Did you descend the Mississippi; and with whom? A. With Mr. Fort and Mr. Hopkins. Q. Where were you joined by Mr. Burr's party? A. Just below Fort Massac. They passed the fort in the night; and we joined them next morning. Q. How many boats had they? A. About 8 or 10. Q. Do you know whether they had any arms in the boats? A. I saw none but fowling pieces. Q. Did you descend the river with them? A. Yes. I went to New Madrid by the directions of Col. Tyler. Q. Were you not left behind to enlist men?
The counsel for the accused objected to the principle as well as form of this question. After some discussion the Chief Justice decided that the principle of the question might be relevant.
Mr. Hay . Will you state then for what purpose you were left behind? A. All the boats landed at New Madrid on New-Year's day, and staid 4 days. Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Fort and myself went before to get more men. We got 2; and some more joined at Nantz de Grasse. Q. On what terms did they join? A. At 12 1-2 dollars a month and 100 acres of land besides. Mr. M'Rae. And what services were to be performed? A. They were to go to this Ouachita country, and also to descend to N. Orleans to work on col. Burr's boats. Mr. Wirt. Was col. Burr looked on as the head of this party? A. He was. Q. Did you and did these recruits understand that they were to be placed under col. Burr's command? A. They were to be delivered to him, and to go on board his boats.
Cross examined by the accused . Mr. Burr . Who wrote the articles under which they were engaged? A. Mr. Hopkins. Q. Repeat them. A. I do not particularly recollect them. Q. But there was something in them about the Ouachita lands? A. They were to go there after they had gone to New Orleans.
Mr. Wirt . These men who were engaged in N. Madrid; did they join the detachment? A. They did at the mouth of Col. M'Rae's creek. Q. Do I understand, that the sole object was the settlement of the Ouachita lands? Mr. Burr objected to these questions. How could these transactions affect col. B., when they took place in his absence? The objection was over-ruled, and Mr. Hartley replied, that the contract declared, that they were to serve for six months, that they were to settle on the Ouachita lands; but that they were to go to New Orleans.
Mr. Wirt . Did you see the men assembled, before they arrived at the Chickasaw Bluff? A. I did not overtake them, before they got to Cole's Creek.
Mr. Burr . You said that they were to go to the Ouachita and to New Orleans. Were they to go in any event? A. They were to go to the Ouachita; but the articles did not specify what business they were to follow. The only service mentioned, was that they were to work the boats down. Mr. Baker objected to this kind of evidence. He contended that the best sort of evidence ought in every case to be produced—and that no paper ought to be mentioned, which was not exhibited in court. The objection was over-ruled; when Mr. Hay asked the witness whether he was certain they were to go to New Orleans first. A. I am. I recollect the articles were read, after we got into the boat. Mr. M'Rae . And they were to serve six months? A. They were. (TO BE CONTINUED.)
Iron Works for Sale.
THE Subscriber is duly empowered to contract for the sale of a hand some Site for Iron Works and eight thousand acres of Land, adjoining, lying on the river Rappahannock about 9 miles above Fredericksburg. This tract abounds with inexhaustible mines of the richest iron ore, and an ample supply of wood for coal. The site for the works are advantageous in the extreme, commanding the whole source of the Rappahannock by a natural canal, into which the whole force of the river may be turned at a small expense. There has been a furnace and other works formerly erected here, and the ore found on trial abundant and good. When it is considered that this property is within 9 miles of tide water, and that the navigation from the site of the works to tide water may at a small expense be rendered practicable to transport every heavy article to market—when it is considered from the contiguity of these works to the seat of government, no iron establishment can supply cannon and shot on so good terms (competent judges having pronounced the ore on this tract of superior quality for cannon) a cogent reason be entertained of the great value of this property. The title is indisputable, and a great bargain may be had. The subscriber will at any time attend those inclined to view the premises, and can show an accurate survey of the tract, on application to him at Danville, Virginia.

Salem, Sept. 24.
The English Expedition.
The Schooner Jeanna, Capt. Prince, arrived here on Tuesday last in 50 days from Cronstadt, and 40 from Elsinore. Capt. Prince informs us, that the English expedition, consisting of 20 ships of the line, and about 80 other vessels, including transports, had arrived off Elsinore, and had demanded the delivery of that fortress, which commands the Sound, and of the whole island of Zealand into their possession. Messages continued to pass between the English commander and the Crown Prince of Denmark. The Crown Prince had delivered in answer to the English demand, that he would not give up the island while there was a man living to defend it. It was expected that the English would immediately attack Elsinore, which the Danes were preparing to defend. It was said the English had in their fleet 40,000 men ready for the attack. On the day after Capt. Prince sailed, he heard a heavy cannonading from which he supposed that the English had begun the attack. Unfortunately the captain bought no papers.
A MEETING of the CITIZENS of WASHINGTON is requested at Mr. Steele's Hotel on Thursday next, at Six o'clock, P. M. September 30.

Treasury Department, Register's Office, June 5th, 1807.
Notice is hereby given,
THAT, in conformity with the provision of the act "supplementary to the act, entitled 'An act making provision for the redemption of the whole of the public debt of the United States,'" books will be opened at the Treasury on the first day of July next, to continue open until the fourteenth day of March, 1808, inclusively, the fourteen last days of each quarter excepted, for the purpose of receiving subscriptions for such parts of the old six per cent. deferred six per cent. and three per cent. stock, as may, on the day of subscription land on the books of the treasury.
Those proprietors of the old six per cent. and deferred stocks, who may subscribe, will receive in lieu thereof a new six per cent. stock, equal to the unredemed amount of the stock surrendered, redeemable at the pleasure of the United States, under a proviso however, that no reimbursement shall be made, except for the whole amount of any such new certificate of stock, nor till after six months previous notice; and the proprietors of the three per cent. stock who may subscribe, will receive in lieu thereof, a six per cent. stock, equal to sixty-five per cent. of the amount of three per cent. surrendered, redeemable in the same manner at the new six per cent. above mentioned but not reimbursable, however, without the assent of the holders, until after the whole of the new six per cent. (given in exchange for old six or deferred as above mentioned) as well as the whole of the eight per cent. stock of the United States, shall have been reimbursed. It is also provided that in every reimbursement which may take place, a preference will be given to those creditors who may notify their claim to be reimbursed; and that if the applications to that effect shall at any time either exceed or fall short of the sum then applicable to that purpose, the priority of payment shall, so far as may be necessary, be determined by lot.

EDITORIAL ADDRESS.
In the early part of June the Editor intimated his purpose to retire from the establishment of the National Intelligencer, and invited the offers of individuals disposed to enter on its superintendence.
But a short time elapsed, from the time of his making known his purpose, before a totally unlooked for aggression on the national rights occurred, which threatened to disturb the peace of the country, and seemed not unlikely to be the prelude of times in which the sincerity of principle would be exposed to an unusually severe ordeal, and which would claim from every citizen the best exertion of his faculties.
A considerable time has since passed without any offer being made, which has been considered satisfactory on this ground. The Editor, has, therefore, determined to continue to superintend the National Intelligencer.
Looking forward to the ensuing session of Congress as probably one of the most interesting since the era of the present government, he has exerted himself in making arrangements, which he trusts will render the National Intelligencer the full and faithful organ, as well of the proceedings of the government as of the public sentiment.
More regard will likewise be paid to the mechanical management of the paper. For some time past, the Editor has had to regret the necessary use of an inferior paper, and of a press somewhat out of repair, from his inability immediately to retrieve at the City of Washington the disappointment experienced in these respects.
The great additional expenses which will be incurred render it indispensable that Subscribers should be punctual in their payments. It is, therefore, expected that every new Subscriber advance five dollars, the price for a year, at the period of subscription, and that the existing subscribers pay off their arrears and make the necessary advance before the opening of the session.
20 DOLLARS REWARD.
