TRIAL
OF COLONEL A. BURR.
MOTION FOR COMMITMENT.
EXAMINATION OF EVIDENCE.
MONDAY, October 5.
(Major Bruff's evidence.)
[CONCLUDED.]
Mr. Martin. Whose property is the place called Cold Water? A I understand the greater part belongs to general Wilkinson. About four acres only is deeded to the U. S. for a site of a factory. He wrote on to me to purchase such a place. It was about this place, that general Wilkinson made the rude attack upon me which I have before mentioned: but I believe the true source was, that I had said to an officer in the confidence of general Wilkinson that he would not be in office six months. I knew that congress was about to meet, and that it was contrary to the genius of our government that he should hold the two offices of general and governor of Louisiana.
General Wilkinson. When did you receive the first intimation of my intention to retire from service? A This is intimated in a letter from the general dated April 5, 1805. [Here major Bruff read a letter from general Wilkinson to him. See reference A.] Q Did I not reiterate this intention after I came to St. Louis? A I believe you did. General Wilkinson. Do you recollect at what period after I got to St. Louis, whether late or early? A I cannot recollect. You often mentioned the subject.
General Wilkinson. Were you subpoenaed to attend this place? A I was. I saw a subpoena in the hands of a gentleman for me; and Mr. Martin had told me in Baltimore that there was one ordered, and therefore I considered myself as subpoenaed from Queen Anne's county, in Maryland. General Wilkinson. Then you had a conference with Mr. Martin? A I had. General Wilkinson. Do you recollect to have said that you were reluctant to come, but Mr. Martin had promised to lash me into tor-tures? A I have said that from a conversation with Mr. Martin, I had reason to believe that your letter to colonel Burr, "post marked 13th of May," would be produced; but that I should have come in any event. [Here a certificate of col. Meigs was read; which see note B.] The first intimation I had of this letter was from a letter written by a gentleman of the grand jury to a friend of mine, stricturing the testimony of general Wilkinson given before that body. That part of the letter was confidentially read to me.
[Major Bruff was about to state a conversation with Mr. Martin, when he was interrupted by colonel Burr, who said that he could not consent to a narration of the conversations which might have been held with his counsel.]
General Wilkinson. Did you not say that you believed Burr was guilty; but that I had done you a serious injury, and you thought this a good time to seek redress? A I have said that I believed colonel Burr concerned in that expedition with you. I have said so, and I think so still.
Mr. McRae. Will you state the character of judge Easton? A I have accused him of an endeavor to swindle me out of half the land we purchased in common on which a litigation is now depending.
General Wilkinson. Had you no land speculations with Easton? A No. I had no speculations; but we made a purchase of a single tract of land together. Perhaps you call that speculations. General Wilkinson. You said that when colonel Burr arrived at St. Louis, Easton and myself were intimate? Major Bruff. I think so.
General Wilkinson. Did you not know that about that time I did not suffer him to come into my house? A I heard him say after colonel Burr had left St. Louis some little time, that you were persecuting him.
(A)
CONFIDENTIAL.
I am desirous like yourself to make a snug fixture, and hang up my sword. Our soil, we may thank God, is not favorable to military pursuits, and the profession of arms has become disreputable, in our free and peaceful country. Will you look out for a handsome spot for me, five or six miles from St. Louis, of 1000 acres more or less, rich, well timbered, and lying well
for cultivation, with excellent water and a mill seat? I shall want such a spot—will you have the goodness to look for one with-out speaking—and if a bargain presents, you may make in your own name a provisional contract, to be off or on in 6 months. Pardon the freedom I take with, and the trouble I offer you.
With esteem and respect, Your obedient servant,
JS. WILKINSON.
Major Bruff.
April 5, 1807.

COL. MEIGS'S CERTIFICATE.
Richmond, September 23, 1807.
I certify, that at Richmond, during the trial of colonel Burr, for treason, major James Bruff informed me that he was attending as a witness for colonel Burr, for which he was sorry. That Luther Martin had promised him, if he would attend as a witness, he, Martin, would expose the character of general Wilkinson, by introducing into court, a certain letter written by general Wilkinson to Aaron Burr—which letter colonel Burr had declined submitting to the grand jury—and that Mr. Martin declared that he would lash general Wilkinson into tortures: and upon those promises he came.
(Signed)
R. J. MEIGS, juo.
[Evidence to be continued.]
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY, November 25.
Mr. Poindexter presented the petition of the president and trustees of the Natchez Hospital, praying assistance from Congress. Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. Thomas Moore presented the petition of James Elliot. Referred to the committee of claims barred, &c.
Mr. Mumford presented the petition of Joseph Du Cuyla, praying that the importation of certain coloring matters for a new combination of which he had purchased the patent, be prohibited. Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. Poindexter presented the memorial of the mayor, aldermen and citizens of the city of Natchez, praying for a grant of lots on which to erect public buildings. Referred to the committee on public lands.
An engrossed bill authorizing the purchase of certain copies of the journals of Congress was passed. Ayes 73.
Mr. Talmaage offered the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the secretary for the department of war be directed to lay before the house a statement of the respective numbers of officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers, composing the army of the U. S. noting the numbers wanting to complete the present establishment.
Resolved, That the secretary for the department of war be directed to lay before this house a statement of the respective numbers of volunteers, either of artillery, cavalry, or infantry, whose services have been offered and accepted, in pursuance of the act entitled "An act authorizing the president of the U. S. to accept the service of a number of volunteer companies, not exceeding 30,000 men."
Which being read, Mr. Talmaage said, it would be remembered when the president had transmitted his message to congress at the opening of the session, one part of it related to what might be the probable situation of the country, and to the necessity that might exist for raising a regular army. Mr. T. presumed that every gentleman on the floor felt the same sentiment with respect to the importance of the preservation of the honor of the nation, and in order that they might be prepared to meet any possible event, it became essentially necessary to know what was our actual force. This was the object of the first resolution he had proposed. He wished to know, not only what that force was but how far it was deficient. Another reason which operated strongly on his mind was that the house never failed at each session to vote money for the support of the army and navy of the U. S.; they certainly could not make the exact appropriations required, without knowing what the actual force of the army was.
With respect to the second resolution, it would be remembered that an act was passed in February, 1807, authorizing the president to accept the services of any number of volunteers, not exceeding 50,000, which act was to remain in force for two years. It became important to know how far volunteer companies had offered, and how far this force might be brought into the field in case of emergency. An act had also passed in April, 1806, authorizing the president to call out 100,000 militia, to continue in force two years from its date, and would of course expire next April. These were the different species of force on which the president could calculate on an emergency. That the house
might know the exact force of the union, and how far it might be relied on were the reasons which induced him to move these resolutions at this time.
A desultory conversation took place as to the ability of the Executive to give the information called for in the second resolution, in which Messrs. Talmaage, Thomas, Dana, Quincy, Chandler, Durell, Alston, Upham, and Smilie took part, when the resolutions were agreed to without a division.
An engrossed bill for the incorporation of a Baptist church in the city of Washington was passed, 66 to 25.
On motion of Mr. Poindexter, the House went into a committee of the whole on a bill to extend the right of suffrage in the Mississippi territory, and for other purposes, Mr. Masters in the chair.
Mr. Troup withdrew his motion for striking out the first section of the bill, with a view to give the gentleman from the Mississippi territory an opportunity of making the bill less objectionable, and for that reason solely.
Mr. Poindexter, to accord with the wishes of the representation from Georgia, moved an amendment which limited the right of suffrage to freeholders and holders of land by equitable titles; which was agreed to without a division.
Mr. Bibb moved that the following proviso be inserted in the bill:
Provided, That this act shall not take effect till the assent of the state of Georgia shall have been signified thereto.
Which motion was negatived, 68 to 18. The bill being gone through, the committee rose and reported it.
Mr. Bibb wished the proviso he had moved in committee of the whole, to be now added to the bill.
The Speaker said the house must first decide upon the amendment made in committee.
Mr. Poindexter said that as the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Bibb) had declared an intention to oppose the bill in toto, if his proviso were not agreed to, he should now be opposed to the amendment which he himself had proposed, and which had been adopted in committee, as it had been offered with a sole view to the accommodation of the gentlemen from Georgia; and as even after this compromise, they were still determined to oppose the bill he therefore wished it now to be decided on in its original shape, which was most agreeable to the wishes of his constituents.
The question being taken by yeas and nays on concurrence with the amendment of the committee of the whole there were Ayes 79 Nays 41.
On each of the questions some debate arose, in which Messrs. Poindexter, Quincy, Bacon, Sloan, Smilie, Cook, Rhea (T.), Lyon and Holland generally supported the right of congress to legislate on the subject without the consent of Georgia, and advocated the political expediency of extending the right of suffrage as originally contemplated by the bill, so that every free white male inhabitant, who had paid taxes 6 months, and been a resident in the territory 12 months previous to the election, should be entitled to vote for representatives in the legislature.
Messrs. Bibb, Troup, Gardenier, Gardner and Rowan generally denied the right of congress to legislate on the subject in violation of the compact entered into with Georgia at the time of her cession of the territory, intimated that the territory would soon become a state, when she could fix the qualifications of her own voters, and added that, in the mean time, there was abundant evidence of her elections being properly conducted from the talents and respectability of her representatives.
The house adjourned without taking a question on Mr. Bibb's proviso.
Thursday, November 26.
Mr. Lewis, from the committee to whom was recommitted the bill for erecting a bridge over the river Potomac, reported the bill with amendments; the most material of which makes the shares of the stock personal instead of real property, & gives the U. S. the right of becoming purchasers of the bridge after a certain time. The bill was referred to a committee of the whole to-morrow.
Mr. Lloyd presented a memorial praying that a monument in honor of the officers who fell in the attack of Tripoli imported from Europe by their brother officers, be admitted free of duty. Referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
Mr. J. Clay presented the memorial of W. Davy, R. Ralston, A. M'Call, and A. M. Buckley, a committee appointed at a meeting of the merchants of Philadelphia, to take into consideration the cases of sundry merchants who could not obtain drawbacks from a misapprehension of the laws on the subject.
The house adjourned before the memorial was disposed of.
FRIDAY, November 27.
Mr. J. Clay presented a memorial from
sundry merchants in the city of Philadelphia, praying for the repeal of the non importation law. Mr. Clay moved to refer it to the committee of commerce and manufactures. The motion for reference was finally rejected by yeas and nays 80 to 59 and no order taken on the memorial.
Mr. Randolph from the committee appointed for the purpose, reported a bill to explain an act passed last session, entitled an act to prohibit the importation of slaves into any port or place within the jurisdiction of the U. S. from and after the first day of January in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and eight. Which was read twice, and referred to a committee of the whole on Monday next.
Mr. J. Clay obtained leave of absence for the remainder of the session.
Mr. Blount moved for the order of the day on the second report of the committee of aggressions; he wished the house to go into a committee of the whole on the subject and remain in committee (as it was then late) no longer than to give the business priority over any other on the next day of meeting.
Mr. Randolph enquired why the second report should have preference over the first and why both had not been referred to the same committee of the whole, as one depended on the other. Why were they shuffled about in this manner? Why was the cart to be put before the horse? Why was the second brought upon the tapis and the first reserved.
Mr. Blount stated that the first was merely declaratory of the nature of the act, and detailed that information which had been so loudly called for from some parts of the house; the second contained resolutions for preparing for defence, which he conceived should be first acted upon.
Mr. Randolph moved that the committee of the whole to whom the second report or second part of the report was referred, should be discharged from the consideration of it, that it might be referred to the same committee to whom the first part had been referred.
Mr. Blount's motion being that under consideration, a considerable debate ensued, which branched widely into the subject—in the course of which
Mr. Blount stated that the gentleman from Virginia, Mr. Randolph, had desired Mr. B. to let him know when the report was to be called up. He had told the gentleman this morning that he intended to call it up to day. If the gentleman had then expressed a desire that both reports should be referred to the same committee of the whole, he would have accommodated him, by making a motion to that effect.
Mr. Randolph said he would take the gentleman from North Carolina at his word, and withdraw the motion he had offered trusting to the gentleman to renew it.
Mr. Blount withdrew his motion for immediately taking up the second report and renewed Mr. Randolph's motion; on which the debate was continued. The gentlemen who took part in the debate on this subject were Messrs. Randolph, Blount, Chandler, Dana, Eppes, Thomas, Rowan, Nicholas, W. Alston, Lyon, G. W. Campbell, Quincy, Burwell, Taylor, and Smilie.
The question being on the motion as renewed by Mr. Blount, was negatived, 67 to 40.
Mr. Eppes moved that the order of the day on the 1st report of the committee of aggressions be postponed till this day week. Carried; ayes 58 nays 47.
A motion was made that when the house adjourned, it should adjourn till Monday. Carried, 61 to 43.
Mr. Blount then renewed his original motion that the house should now go into committee of the whole on the second report of the committee of aggressions.
Mr. D. R. Williams said that it wanted but 5 minutes of 5 o'clock, and he hoped the house would adjourn. Carried, 54 to 44.

PHILADELPHIA, November 28.
Yesterday morning arrived schooner Hazard captain Burton, from Bristol, Eng. which he left October 19, and has lately furnished us with London papers to the 14th, from which we have the following.
Tunis, July 25.
In the month of June, 1806, the Bey of Tunis tired of the dependence which the Bey of Algiers imposed on him, took the resolution to free himself from the yoke, and to avenge the Tunisians of the injuries the Algerines caused them the year before, when the latter took Tunis and decapitated the Bey. An article of the treaty, at that time concluded, obliged the Tunisians to demolish the fortresses on the frontiers; but the Bey immediately set about repairing them; at the same time he established two camps on the frontiers of the two regencies, and having discovered that some of his subjects corresponded with the Bey of Constantine, he caused nine to be arrested, one of whom had his head cut off, and the other eight received a thousand strokes of a stick, and the envoy of the Bey of Constantine was banished the country. At the same time the Bey of Tunis declared that he had no hostile view, and that he only meant to secure his independence.
On this information, the Bey of Algiers assembled an army, under pretence of reducing some rebels to obedience, but shortly declared his real intention, and in the beginning of July his troops began their march to attack the Tunisians.
The Tunisian army was commanded by Mustapha, surnamed the Englishman, formerly bey of Constantine, but obliged to fly from Algiers and take refuge at Tunis. The day of Algiers before he came to the last extremity, proposed, as conditions of peace, that he should be paid a large sum of money, and that Mustapha and his son should be delivered up to him. At first there were some negotiations entered into; but at the end of August war was definitely declared. Two Algerine corsairs attacked a Tunisian vessel in sight of Algiers, but the latter escaped through her superiority of sailing. Things remained notwithstanding, in the same state, each party continuing himself with making preparations, until the beginning of January, 1807, when two Algerine frigates commenced the blockade of the harbour of Tunis. Notwithstanding the Tunisians threatened with a numerous army to attack Constantine, whose new bey, with all his family, had been murdered, the expedition was retarded from day to day, & a great number of Arabs joined the Tunisian army, which amounted to 40,000. The Cheicks of Constantine, entered into a negotiation; and the day of Algiers, uneasy at its progress, and harassed by the rebels of Oran, made some offers of accommodation about the end of March; but the danger daily becoming more pressing, he detached, on the 2d of April, a reinforcement for the army; and at the same time four vessels, laded with artillery sailed for Bone.
The Tunisians laid siege to Constantine but experienced an unexpected resistance, and nearly the whole of the advanced guard of the Tunisians were made prisoners. The cowardice of the Agas, and a sudden panic seizing the Tunisians, obliged them at last to raise the siege, and retire in the greatest disorder, pursued by the united troops of Algiers and Constantine. The day of Algiers caused this victory to be celebrated with the greatest pomp, and announced his intention of making the regency of Tunis a fourth province of Algiers, and created a new bey for that city, which he considered as already conquered. In the mean time the bey of Tunis assembled the remainder of his forces, and gave the command to the keeper of his seals, with orders to give battle to the Algerines, which he did on the 12th of July, in which the Algerines were completely beaten; all their artillery, baggage, stores, 130 tents, and 4000 camels fell into the hands of the Tunisians. The greatest part of the Algerine army were composed of Turks, and taken prisoners. The extreme heat of the weather prevented the Tunisians recommencing the siege of Constantine; but they are preparing for the enterprize with great prospect of success, the Algerine power being so much reduced, as to require a length of time to recover from its disasters.
Petersburgh, August 29.
Prince Alexander de Kourakin, the Russian ambassador at Vienna, who negotiated and signed the treaty of Tilsit, has received from his sovereign a most splendid mark of his approbation and satisfaction.
The emperor Alexander has raised him to the first class; that is to say, the rank of field marshal. There are few similar examples. Prince Kourakin has been for 7 years vice chancellor of the empire, and minister for foreign affairs in Russia.
August 20.
A great quantity of artillery has been sent from this city to Cronstadt. His majesty has several times visited the fortification of that port.
August 31.
Last Sunday there was a grand parade, at which his excellency M. general Savary assisted. It is remarked, that this envoy always receives from his majesty the most gracious reception. The unexpected attack of the English upon Copenhagen has produced here an extraordinary sensation. There is but one cry of indignation against that violence, worthy of the ferocity of the most barbarous ages. The cause of the Danes is become that of all nations, which are equally interested in punishing an aggression made without motive, and without a previous declaration. The government have given the most strict orders to accelerate the preparations of defence in our ports, and the equipment of our fleets. A great number of our troops are repairing by forced marches to Cronstadt and to Riga. His majesty is going again to inspect the works in person. A great number of the opulent families of this capital are preparing to go to Paris, to pass the winter there.
Constantinople, September 2
The English ambassador, Paget, has completely failed before the Dardanelles. The English fleet has not ventured to advance any further. The insidious proposals of the English cabinet have been rejected with disdain.
Naples, September 7.
The intelligence respecting the departure of king Ferdinand and his family is not confirmed, but it is certain that he is making preparations for quitting Sicily. The most valuable moveables of the court have been embarked in a Sicilian vessel, the Archimedes. Fifty two thousand onces have been removed from the bank of Messina, and conveyed in great haste to Palermo. The English general Moore, has assumed the chief command of the English and Sicilian troops, who have been united into a single corps. The forces, however are not numerous.

Extract from the Minutes. DONALD MACLEOD, Sec'y.
A law has passed the house of delegates of Maryland establishing a branch of the Farmers' Bank in Fredericktown, with a capital of 100,000 dollars.
The ship Liberty, from New York to Amsterdam, detained by the British, has been liberated, proceeded to Amsterdam, and admitted to an entry, the Dutch decree having been modified so as to admit such vessels as have been detained by the English.
The armistice signed by the Turkish & Russian generals, (under the mediation of France) on the 24th August, provides that the Russians shall evacuate the Turkish provinces, and their fleets withdraw from the Turkish waters; there shall be an exchange of all slaves and others captured, and that
"If during the negotiations for peace, any difficulties should unfortunately arise, so that the affairs cannot be settled, the armistice shall not be broken before next spring, that is to say, the first of the moon of Saser, in the year of the Hegira, 1223, and the 3d April O. S. or 21st March, N. S. 1808, of the Christian era."
MR. RANDOLPH.—When this gentleman talks of making a descent upon Jamaica, he forgets that without a navy, to which he has always been, and still is opposed, such an enterprise is next to an impossibility. Perhaps Mr. R. does not know that upon what is termed the Jamaica station, there are nearly thirty vessels of war, from brigs to line of battle ships. He forgets too that there are seven or eight thousand regular troops, and fifteen to twenty thousand militia on the island. Now without ships how are troops to be transported to Jamaica?— Nemo omnibus sapit horis.
In the revolutionary war, when Jamaica was not so strong as it is now, the French and Spaniards contemplated an attack upon it, but the force prepared for that object was thirty-four sail of the line, and twenty thousand troops. Rodney's victory prevented the public from knowing what would have been the fate of the expedition.
[Norfolk Ledger.]
TO THE PRESIDENT, SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES.
THE MEMORIAL
Of the Merchants and Traders of the City of Philadelphia.
Respectfully Represents,
That a strong confidence in the neutral position and character of their country, and in the pacific policy of its government has encouraged and induced many of your memorialists to embark their property, extensively in foreign commerce—and to adventure a large proportion of their wealth upon distant voyages—that recent and unexpected events so far affect the security of their enterprises, as to impel them to make known their sentiments and wishes to Congress.
Your memorialists cannot but view with extreme solicitude, the apparent state of the negotiation between their country and Great Britain, upon the events of which the safety of their property so materially depends. Their alarm and anxiety, increased by reports (perhaps unfounded) of the nature and extent of the demand made by the government of the U. S. cannot but be great; while they are wholly destitute of information from official sources, calculated to direct their conduct. They mean not, however, to intimate a wish for disclosures incompatible with the due reserve of government, but candidly to present to its view their difficulties and embarrassments.
In common with their fellow citizens, your memorialists entertain the strongest sense of the necessity of supporting the honor and independence of their country, they feel that the national interest is inseparably connected with such support; and although in the event of war, as individuals, they must be deeply affected, they have not a wish that considerations of private interest should induce a sacrifice of national honor and independence. But, from the wisdom and patriotism of the national legislature, they conceive the expectation well founded, that the commercial interests of the U. States, with which the common welfare is inseparably connected, will not be committed by an unyielding adherence to doubtful or unnecessary principles—they therefore, with confidence, submit their hopes that, while essential rights, to which as an independent nation, we are indisputably entitled, will be maintained to the last extremity—matters of seeming interest, but of less importance, will be referred to a more propitious and less hazardous moment for adjustment.
Under these impressions, your memorialists deem it an indispensable duty to themselves, and to their fellow-citizens of the landed and other interests, most respectfully to suggest to congress that the act (at present suspended) entitled "An act to prohibit the importation of certain goods, wares and merchandise, passed the 18th of April, 1806," should it go into operation, will not tend to promote the desirable results of national reparation, and amicable adjustment of our differences with Great Britain. In effect, that your memorialists consider the said act, in its application to this country, as extremely embarrassing; and, in its operation on the government and people of Great Britain as irritating and inefficient—That the repeal of the said act would be productive of beneficial effects, inasmuch as it would relieve our own citizens from embarrassment, demonstrate a disposition to treat on terms of liberality, and be considered as a pledge of candor and magnanimity in the conduct of the negotiation—while, in the event of a failure to produce a fair and honorable accommodation, the evils of war, which must severely, and equally, affect the farmer, merchant, and mechanic, would be borne with less regret as being rendered inevitable.
eing rendered inevitable.
In submitting their opinions to the national legislature, your memorialists have not, they conceive, overlooked the delicacy of the subject, to which they relate—and they have anxiously endeavored, in representing the objects of this memorial, to connect the national honor and interest with their individual claims and privileges.
Relying on the exercise of a wise, just and dignified policy, your memorialists respectfully refer the matters, herein stated, to the consideration and decision of congress.

GREAT BARGAINS. INTENDING to remove to the state of Tennessee as soon as possible, I wish to dispose of the following valuable and increas- ing property upon low terms, which property I inherited from my ancestors, who have had a legal title to the same for upwards of one hundred years. One tract well known by the name of ABINGDON, being on the Potomac river between Alexandria and George Town, and nearly opposite the city of Washington, beau- tifully situated, containing about Four Hun- dred acres, now leased to the Mr. Wises for three hundred and sixty dollars per annum with other stipulations contained in the said lease.
One other tract contiguous to the first, leased to William Fraser for forty dol- lars per annum, containing about sixty a- cres.
One other tract containing ten acres of bottom land, adjoining the Four Mile Mill tract.
One other tract contiguous to the Abingdon estate, and within two and a half miles of George-Town, containing 725 acres. The greatest part of this land is heavily co- vered with red and white Oak. A. L. S. O.
Three thousand acres on the Scioto River, in the state of Ohio. This tract descended to me from my uncle George D. Alexander, being one moiety of the land he was entitled to for his military ser- vices during the revolutionary war. All the title papers with the wills under which I am entitled to the above property, are in the hands of BALDWIN DADE, Esq. to whom ap- plication will please to be made for terms &c. he being legally authorised to contract and dispose of all the above valuable property, for which good and satisfactory titles will be given.
