TRIAL
OF COLONEL A. BURR
(Continued by adjournment and held at the Capitol in the Hall of the House of Delegates, for High Treason against the U. States.)
OPINION
Of the Court on the motion to arrest the evidence. Delivered on
MONDAY, August 31.
[CONTINUED.]
The opinion of judge Chase is next quoted with approbation. This opinion in terms requires the employment of force.
After stating the verbal communications said to have been made by Mr. Swartwout to general Wilkinson, the court says "if these words import that the government of Orleans was to be revolutionized by force, although merely as a step to or a means of exciting some greater projects, the design was unquestionably treasonable, and any assemblage of men for that purpose would amount to a levying of war."
The words "any assemblage of men" if construed to affirm that any two or three of the conspirators who might be found together after this plan had been formed, would be the act of levying war, would certainly be misconstrued. The sense of the expressions "any assemblage of men" is restricted by the words "for this purpose." Now could it be in the contemplation of the court that a body of men would assemble for the purpose of revolutionizing New Orleans by force, who should not themselves be in force?
After noticing some difference of opinion among the judges respecting the import of the words said to have been used by Swartwout the court proceeds to observe: "But whether this treasonable intention be really imputable to the plan or not, it is admitted that it must have been carried into execution by an open assemblage for that purpose, previous to the arrest of the prisoner, in order to consummate the crime as to him."
Could the court have conceived "an open assemblage" "for the purpose of overthrowing the government of New Orleans by force" to be only equivalent to a secret furtive assemblage without the appearance of force?
After quoting the words of Mr. Swartwout, from the affidavit, in which it was stated that Mr. Burr was levying an army of 7,000 men, and observing that the treason to be inferred from these words would depend on the intention with which it was levied, and on the progress which had been made in levying it, the court says "the question then is, whether this evidence proves colonel Burr to have advanced so far in levying an army as actually to have assembled them."
Actually to assemble an army of 7,000 men is unquestionably to place those who are so assembled in a state of open force.
But as the mode of expression used in this passage might be construed so far as to countenance the opinion that it would be necessary to assemble the whole army in order to constitute the fact of levying war, the court proceeds to say, "it is argued that since it cannot be necessary that the whole 7,000 men should be assembled, their commencing their march by detachments to the place of rendezvous must be sufficient to constitute the crime."
"This position is correct with some qualification. It cannot be necessary that the whole army should assemble, and that the various parts which are to compose it should have combined. But it is necessary there should be an actual assemblage; and therefore this evidence should make the fact unequivocal."
"The travelling of individuals to the place of rendezvous, would perhaps not be sufficient. This would be an equivocal act, and has no warlike appearance. The meeting of particular bodies of men, and their marching from places of partial to a place of general rendezvous would be such an assemblage."
The position here stated by the counsel for the prosecution is, that the army "commencing its march by detachments to the place of rendezvous (that is of the army) must be sufficient to constitute the crime."
This position is not admitted by the court to be universally correct. It is said to be "correct with some qualification." What is that qualification?
"The travelling of individuals to the place of rendezvous," (and by this term is not to be understood one individual by himself, but several individuals either separately or together, but not in military form)
"would perhaps not be sufficient." Why not sufficient? Because, says the court, "this would be an equivocal act and has no warlike appearance." The act then should be unequivocal and should have a warlike appearance. It must exhibit in the words of sir Matthew Hale speciem belli , the appearance of war. This construction is rendered in some measure necessary when we observe that the court is qualifying the position, "that the army commencing their march by detachments to the place of rendezvous must be sufficient to constitute the crime." In qualifying this position they say, "the travelling of individuals would perhaps not be sufficient." Now, a solitary individual travelling to any point, with any intent, could not, without a total disregard of language, be termed a marching detachment. The court, therefore, must have contemplated several individuals travelling together; and the words being used in reference to the position they were intended to qualify, would seem to indicate the distinction between the appearances attending the usual movement of a company of men for civil purposes, and that military movement which might in correct language be denominated "marching by detachments."
(To be continued.)
Latest Proceedings.
Wednesday September 9.
[CONTINUED.]
[Mr. Belknap's examination concluded.]
Examined by the Prosecution.
Mr. Hay were there any reasons mentioned besides its freezing. A. None, that I recollect. Q. Did you carry no verbal instructions? A. Yes; that in descending the river, they should carry some signal object in the boats; as a white flag in the day time and a lantern at night. Q. Believing that the object of this enterprise was lawful did you not at first join in it? A. Yes; I did contemplate joining in it. Mr. Blannerhasset mentioned several persons to me, who had joined in it. I do not know whether he mentioned the government, but he certainly said that the officers of the government had approved it. Mr. McRae. Did he mention the object of this enterprise? He stated that he expected there would be a war with Spain; and in that event the people who went down with him would join the regular army and advance to the frontiers. If there was no war they would then effect a settlement on the Ouachita. He mentioned that general Eaton and Mr. Gallatin were engaged. He mentioned gen. Wilkinson.
Mr. Wirt. Did you go down with him? A. I did not. Q. what prevented you? A. When I had returned to Marietta I received a letter from young Danielson, stating to me the substance of general Eaton's deposition. I repeated this important contradiction of one of Blannerhasset's statements to a number of my friends and they all abandoned the enterprise.
Mr. Hay. Had you any conversation with Mr. Burr? A. We had some about the boats and the party.
Mr. McRae. How many persons desisted from the enterprise? A. Mr. Cushing, Mr. Munn, and two or three from Marietta.
Mr. Hay. Did you not carry some message to Blannerhasset about the necessity of his immediate departure? A. No. Col. Burr stated this; that he believed in consequence of newspaper reports that the public mind was much incensed, that he apprehended the party would meet with some opposition in going down the river and that he hoped they would not oppose the constituted authorities. Q. Were there any men preparing to depart when you arrived on the island? A. When I returned from Lexington I was surprised at the number of men I saw there, about 20.
Mr. Wirt. When Burr spoke of these men and boats, did he speak as having any authority over them? A. He spoke of them as one concerned.
Mr. McRae. When he spoke of going down the river did he speak of his people? A. He spoke of them under the general description of "they"—he spoke of them as persons in connexion with himself, and with whom he had connection.
Mr. Hay. Did you hear nothing of the legislative proceedings of Ohio before you carried the letter? A. Not till my return. Chief Justice. The legislature did not meet till afterwards.
Mr. Burr. The legislature did not meet till the 4th of Dec. and Frankfort where Mr. Belknap saw me is about two hundred miles from the island.
Mr. Hay. I did not know the date of Mr. Burr's letter. Mr. Belknap. It was dated about the last of November and I
returned to the island about the tenth of Dec.
Mr. McRae. Did he not make some enquiries about Blannerhasset? A. He enquired about his health and the probability of his going away. Q. Did nothing of any moment occur in relation to Blannerhasset's departure? A. Nothing that I recollect. He departed a short time after I had arrived there. Q. Did he not state the reasons of his sudden departure? A. He said he apprehended some difficulty, if he did not immediately depart, from the people of Kenawha. Q. Did you carry no dispatches for Jourdan? A. None.
Mr. Wirt. Did you understand from both that Blannerhasset was connected with Burr? A. I did.
Mr. McRae. Was there no rumour and noise on this subject before you went to Kentucky? Was it not the opinion of the people they intended to invade Mexico? A. There were various opinions concerning them. Messrs. Martin and Burr both objected to this question. Mr. McRae. My object is next to ask the witness whether col. Burr did not enquire about the state of the public mind. Did not Mr. Burr say something about it? A. He asked me what was going on abroad, such was his expression. I particularly recollect him to have asked this question; whether I had seen any thing in the papers from the government on this subject. I replied that I had not. Q. What offers did they make to induce you to join them? A. None particularly; except that if when I descended the river, I did not find gens. Eaton and Wilkinson either there or coming there, and if there was no Spanish war; then Blannerhasset was to bear my expenses back.
Mr. McRae. Then you considered yourself as engaged for a Spanish war? A. I did. Q. And Mr. Gallatin was to have joined? A. Yes; most particularly, so Mr. Blannerhasset said.
Cross-Examined by the accused.
Mr. Burr. Do you remember a particular portion of land, which I offered to Mr. Blannerhasset in my letter? A. No. I recollect you authorised him to offer a certain quantity to young men. Q. Do you not recollect I offered him 40,000 acres? A. I do not. Q. Did I not show you a map of the land? A. You did. Q. Did I not show you some deeds for the land? A. I do not recollect. Q. Do you not recollect, that I stated in my letter the advantages and disadvantages on both sides; that if he did not live in peace with his neighbors, he had better come down? A. I do not recollect; but the impression on my mind was, that you expected him down. Q. Did I ever speak of the party in the island as my people? A. You did not; your expression generally was "they."
Mr. Hay. As soon as you had made your communication to Mr. Blannerhasset did you retire to bed and see nothing else? A. Yes.
Mr. McRae. Did you say that you stated to Mr. Blannerhasset the reasons of your declining? A. I did to his lady. Mr. Blannerhasset had then departed. Q. Who were the others whom Mr. Blannerhasset mentioned to you in conversation as concerned in the scheme? A. He mentioned Mr. Dayton, Mr. Deverix—[Mr. Wirt. Does he live in Baltimore?] Mr. Smith of New York.
Mr. Wirt. Did he represent Burr as the head of the expedition? A. In the first conversation he mentioned he did not know what col. Burr intended to do; and as to his influence, he observed "you know he is not high in the confidence of his country." In all other conversations, he did name him as the head.
Richard Neale was sworn. He was proceeding with his evidence to state that Blannerhasset sent for him and asked him if he could keep a secret, when he was interrupted by col. Burr, who objected to any relation of conversations with others not in his presence. He said he was willing to indulge the gentlemen with the examination of any testimony to prove a military expedition, in this state, but as it was admitted on all hands that he was not present when the appearance of an expedition which has now been attempted to be proved was set on foot: that is, the assemblage of the four boats at Blannerhasset's island; he should object to any evidence being given to connect him with that assemblage.
Mr. Hay said he meant to prove the connection between the accused and the party at Blannerhasset's island; and that the party descended the river to the mouth of Cumberland, where Burr assumed the command of the expedition. If there were any objections to this kind of testimony, they had as well be made at once.
Col. Burr said that he had invited the gentlemen to prove any facts which took place on the island; that he saw several witnesses in court who had testified to those facts before; but the moment the gentlemen departed from that kind of evidence, he should feel it his duty to object. It is well understood that we are to have a long controversy about certain points of law, and the sooner we are brought to it the better.
Some desultory conversation then ensued, when Mr. Randolph observed, that they were then to understand, that gentlemen were determined to persevere in this course.
Mr. Wirt. We mean to pursue the proper course. If this is not the proper course demonstrate it.
While Mr. Botts was preparing to open the argument, Mr. Burr enquired whether the counsel for the prosecution was in possession of the deposition of Timothy Kilfe. Mr. Hay replied he had never seen it.
Mr. Botts regretted that Mr. Hay's predilection for the island should be so great as to prevent his laying his indictment in any other place. He presumed that it would be productive of the same alteration as it had produced in the treason case. Would it not be better for the court to demand at once some evidence on the facts charged in the indictment, than to be amused for two months with an idle parade of the idle tales of idle people?
Mr. Botts laid down the following general position, which he supported at considerable length.
 1st. That under the act of Congress there can be no accessory offender, i. e. none are within the points of the statute but such as are acting at the fact.  2d. If the first point be not sustainable, no act of Col. Burr out of the district can be given in evidence against him.  3dly. Again, if the first point be not sustainable, no act of an accessory agency can be given in evidence on this indictment charging the offence of acting at the island and not specially that the inditee did the accessory act.  4thly. That if the foregoing points be not sustainable, still no evidence of an accessory agency could be given till the record of the conviction of an actor in the expedition be produced.  5thly. That the acts on Blannerhasset's island cannot amount to a providing or preparing the means, or a beginning or setting on foot a military expedition there. This point revolves itself into two others. 1st. There was no military expedition in maturity there. 2dly. If there was a military expedition in progress there, it was not begun or set on foot there, nor were the means provided or prepared thereon. In enquiring into what constitutes the offence under the act of Congress, he contended that the act was so uncertain and ambiguous that it never could be carried into execution. He instanced many cases which went to show that, according to the rules of constructing penal statutes, this act could not be enforced. He argued that providing the means spoken of in the act of Congress, required the entire means; that the means must be not of an expedition merely, but a military expedition; that to make it a military expedition it must have a military character, the most essential means of a military expedition is a military organization; that there must be a military posture; that the means must be adequate to the end; that no assembly of men was engaged in this expedition, nor was Col. Burr ever present at it; that no intention could aid facts in furnishing the means of a military expedition; that war might be without military form, but the means of a military expedition must have a military character; and that hostile means will not do, the means must be military. 
A 6th point was, that no evidence of conversations said to have taken place between any other persons can be given in evidence against Col. Burr, unless he were present at the time the conversations passed.
Thursday September 10.
Mr. Botts concluded his argument which was commenced on yesterday. He contended that the propositions submitted to the court involved mere questions of law, which it was the province of the court to decide. He likened it to the case of gaming which was made highly penal by several statutes. Yet it had always been deemed the duty of the court and not the jury to say what constituted the offence.
Mr. Martin animadverted upon the ambiguity of the act of congress. He said that to set on foot a phrase not to be found in any dictionary but was entirely of American manufacture. The origin of this act of congress was well known—it was brought into the senate and met with violent opposition from the party who have now the power of government in their hands. At last the bill passed the senate by the casting vote of the vice president: and it was well ascertained that

had not Mr. Callan been prevented from attending on account of his indisposition, it never could have passed at all. When it was sent down to the house of representatives it experienced a violent opposition from the democratic party. It was not to be wondered at, therefore, that amidst such repeated and uniform opposition, the law should finally pass with so any imperfections.
He cited 6 Co. 42, to shew that where expressions were so very ambiguous as in this law, the courts never would suffer a person's life or property to be affected by them. He contended that col. Burr should be charged as accessory, in this case he not having been present when the fact was committed as charged in the indictment. But he also argued that the law knew of no accessories in a case like the present. For treason, murder and other felonies, and in trespasses, there are accessories, at common law, but in all inordinate offences, such as mala prohibita , there was no such thing as accessory guilt.
Mr. Hay commenced his argument with some observations upon the light and lucid manner in which Mr. Batts had treated this subject. Why this solicitude of the accused to repress the evidence? Is it because its introduction would overwhelm him beyond the possibility of re-demption? Why treat the subject with this extraordinary levity? Is it to impress the public mind, that it is not worthy of a serious consideration? With what is A. Burr charged? One of his counsel had asserted that the accomplishment of his scheme would have been honorable to him and to his country. And what were those schemes? They were contrary to every principle of an honest man and a virtuous citizen. They consisted in violating the laws of his country in a point the most materially interesting to her foreign relations. They were such as a man of ambition disposed to delude ignorant people might be disposed to conceive. They might alarm and exasperate the whole country. And so difficult has it been to obtain a complete jury for the trial that 19 out of 20 men have been excluded; and yet in a case thus interesting to the public mind, have the opposite counsel had the hardihood to stand up here and declare that it was so farcical he could not treat it with serious consideration. If these gentlemen had but one moment reflected upon the consequences which must have resulted from the military expedition, they would have shrunk from this course. Perhaps the ambition of this party would have been gratified, and their hope of plunder would have been satisfied: perhaps the mines of Mexico would have been theirs, but little would it have been to them, that France and Spain should have exhausted their revenge in devastating the eastern coasts of our country. Had the gentlemen considered it in this light, they would have viewed it as every other man would, as a scheme formed by an ambitious man to effect his own aggrandizement, and they could not have treated the subject with such unwarrantable levity.
The object of this motion is to exclude the evidence. The ground taken by Mr. Batts is, that no person can be found guilty under the act of congress, who was not present, and concurring in the offence charged. But this point was already decided even in the infraction case; it was there determined, that a man may be guilty of levying war, without being present at the scene where the war is levied, if he be properly indicted. The true ground of objection to the evidence meant to be taken by Mr. Batts is, that Aaron Burr not having been present at the time of the offence charged, the evidence offered must be irrelevant . This indeed is the only ground on which the evidence can be excluded; for mere variance will not justify its exclusion. If A. is indicted for killing B with a hammer, and the evidence be considered as irrelevant which goes to prove that the instrument of death was a broad axe? Must not the whole of the evidence necessarily go before the jury; and is it not for them to decide under the instructions of the court? It is only in a case where the evidence does not bear upon the subject at all, that the court may exclude it. Assuming this then as the basis of his remarks, Mr. Hay stated that the enquiry would be whether the evidence now offered be relevant to the indictment. The defendant is charged with beginning, setting on foot, providing and preparing the means of a military expedition at Blennerhassett's against Mexico. These are the actus reus to which his plea relates & which he is bound to establish. The evidence offered goes to prove, that men were assembled and means were provided for an
expedition against Mexico on the island; and that Burr was the projector of the plan and provider of the means. Is not this testimony relevant? and if it is, how can the court exclude it?

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18.
TRIAL OF COL. BURR.
Saturday, Sep. 12. The arguments were this day closed on the important question which has for several days been discussed before the court. Messrs. Randolph, Martin and Wickham, severally spoke at considerable length. On Monday next it is supposed the chief justice will deliver his opinion.
Monday, September 14. The Chief Justice delivered his opinion on the great question which had been so long debated: it was in writing, and of considerable length: it was in the most material points favorable to colonel Burr. Mr. Hay requested time to consider what steps could now be taken on the part of the U. S. and the court adjourned till Tuesday 10 o'clock.
Tuesday, September 15. Mr. Hay wished to enter a nolle prosequi on the indictment; this was objected to by colonel Burr, and submitted to the court, who decided against it. The case was submitted to the jury, and they returned a verdict of NOT GUILTY.
Arrived at Salem; on Tuesday last, the ship Wells, Lamson, 82 days from St. Petersburg. Touched at Copenhagen, where Capt. L. perceived a considerable degree of satisfaction among the Danes at the success of the French arms, on account of its effect upon the English against whom there is a prevailing antipathy. Capt. L. saw two fleets of English transports, with troops pass over the ground for Stralsund; their numbers said to be 40,000; and he passed another fleet between the Scaw and the Nazc. These troops had been long before expected by the Russians, so as to have made a diversion in favour of the common cause; but their arrival was too late to produce any effect.
In the House of Commons, the 7th of August, in a debate on the consolidated fund bill, Sir Thomas Turton thought that in the present circumstances it was necessary to give confidence to ministers. Russia and Prussia were prostrated at the feet of France, and our disputes with America increased. The conduct of the latter country was owing entirely to the pusillanimity of the late ministry, who treated with America with a pistol at their breasts.
Mr. W. Smith adverted to what had been said by Sir Thomas Turton relative to America, and said, that when that country was mentioned, it could not be in a language too moderate or too conciliatory. He was certain that ministers had a very difficult task to perform with respect to America, and he believed they would be very cautious how they followed the advice of the honorable Baronet.
The Pilot, a London paper of the 8th ult. after publishing the President's proclamation subjoins the following remarks:
Notwithstanding the adverse sentiments which breathe throughout the above state paper, both in respect to the late affair between the Leopard and the Chesapeake, and other transactions alluded to in that document, we are not wholly without hopes that with a spirit of conciliation, the misunderstanding between the two governments may be removed. We are happy to see that the door of accommodation is not yet closed; but that the American government, which we learn from an article in the Washington Federalist, was about to send a schooner from Baltimore, with an extraordinary minister to this country, for the purpose of requiring explanation. Is there a sound understanding in the country, which in the present position of surrounding circumstances can wish for an interruption of the peaceable relations between the two governments."
LONDON, Aug. 5. From America, we have accounts two days later than any before received. By these it appears, that Mr. Erskine was not present at the examination of the men at Washington; but still it is maintained that they are American citizens. Barron was dismissed from the Chesapeake in great disgrace. It is alleged against him that he ought to have been ready to oppose his enemy while his ship had a plank remaining whole. Mr. Monroe has received dispatches from his government, and has had an interview with Mr. Canning. The Americans insist on the right of searching being abandoned by Britain; the doctrine is opposed by us; and, if the dispute is not and cannot be adjusted, blows must and will most assuredly be resorted to.

25 Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY, some time in the months of November or Dec. last, a negro man by the name of SAM, who was hired in the town of Alexandria to a Mr. Robert Smith. He was about 30 years of age, about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, very straight, of rather a yellowish or taney complexion, stutters a little, has a soft voice and generally seems humble and timid when spoken to. He had a wife at col. Jemmeson's in the county of Caroline, and may perhaps be lurking in that neighborhood, but I think it more probable he may have gone to the state of Maryland. If taken in the state of Virginia and brought to me I will give the above reward; if in the state of Maryland and brought to me I will give 30 dollars reward.
