TRIAL
OF COLONEL A. BURR.
MOTION FOR COMMITMENT.
EXAMINATION OF EVIDENCE.
[CONTINUED.]
MONDAY, October 5.
COL. HENRY GAITHER.
Mr. Burr. Are you acquainted with Gen. Eaton? A I am. Early in '96—
Gen. Eaton. I presume I have a right to know what is to be proved by this witness.
Mr. Wickham. With respect to general Eaton's right, that is out of the question. He forgets that it is a case between the U. S. and Mr. Burr.
Mr. Burr. I have stated twice that col. Gaither is to prove certain proceedings of a court martial. We shall prove the conviction of Gen. Eaton for certain crimes—and we may perhaps go further and say something as to his general character.
Gen. Eaton. I am willing, sir, that the most minute acts of my life should be enquired into. But, sir, I have been taken by surprise. I did not suppose that the tomb was to be ransacked, to establish things which happened beyond the flood. But, the records of that court martial should be produced here. The law in every case requires the best evidence.
Mr. Wickham. It is unfortunate that Gen. Eaton did not know that the records were burnt.
Gen. Eaton. You, sir, know that there are always 3 copies of the proceedings of a court martial. This man who arrested me, if he has done his duty, ought to have kept one copy; the judge advocate another, and a triplicate copy of them is filed in the department of war. But, sir, if all these copies are lost, I will supply them, and though my copy may not be verbatim and minute, I will furnish the general contents. I waive my demand for the copy of the record, and if testimony be now introduced, I shall only claim the privilege of explaining, after the witness has concluded. After a few remarks from the bench, col. Gaither proceeded.
In the early part of 1795, my acquaintance with captain Eaton commenced on the river St. Mary's, at a fort then building called fort Pickering, where he then commanded. I commanded the troops of the U. S. on the Oconee. On the information of captain Duncomb, I had captain Eaton arrested, and had a court martial. The trial was held.
Mr. Burr. What offences were charged? A I do not recollect. I was not present at the court martial. Mr. Burr. State then as far as you do know. Witness.—There was something about dealing in the soldiers rations, and something about selling the public corn to the inhabitants of that part of the country. Mr. Burr. For his own profit? A So the report ran. The number of charges against him I do not recollect; but he was found guilty, of some one or perhaps the whole. I had the proceedings signed by the president of the court, captain Freeman; and captain Eaton was suspended from command either for 3 or 6 months. Mr. Burr. What did you do with those proceedings? A They were sent on to the secretary at war. They were upwards of 100 pages. I do not know whether I confirmed the sentence or not. There were some letters from captain Eaton requesting me not to send them on.
General Eaton. I wish those letters produced.
Mr. Burr. And what did you do with Eaton? Did you send him on? A He was to be under arrest for some months, after the confirmation of these proceedings. Many things were laid against him. Major commandant Freeman complained of his quarters being stoned in the night, and supposed captain Eaton was the cause of it. I thought it best, in consequence of these complaints, to send him on to the secretary of war; he being of no use there so long as he was suspended.
Mr. Wirt. Was the sentence ever confirmed by the secretary of war? A I do not know. I never heard.
Mr. Hay. Will you be pleased to say, what charges you do recollect? A I cannot repeat the charges. There was something about selling public corn to the inhabitants, and clothing his soldiers with nankens which he had brought from Philadelphia, and on which he made a profit. However I never attended the court. I only arrested him.
Mr. Hay. Can you form any conjecture as to the number of charges? A I cannot. The whole record was not filed up with the charges, but they also contained the proceedings and captain Eaton's defence.
Mr. Hay. Do you know whether you confirmed the sentence or not? A I do not recollect. But I believe I did not;—from having received some letters from captain Eaton insinuating that I would not do justice, at which I was much hurt. Q. And you do not know whether the secretary at war confirmed the sentence? A I do not. I never heard any thing about it until I heard of his being sent as consul to Tunis.
Mr. Wirt. Then he was appointed to Tunis after all these proceedings?
Mr. McRae. When an officer is convicted of a crime is it not customary to cashier him? A It depends upon the nature of the offence. I have seen them some times cashiered, and some times rebuked.
Mr. McRae. Was it not regular for you first to have acted on this sentence? A By the Rules and Articles of War, I might have done it; and so far indeed, until it touched his commission.
Gen. Eaton. Are you positive that the suspension of the court was for 3 or 6 months? A I do not say that the sentence ran for 3 or 6 months. There was a suspension for months or years.
Mr. McRae. For years? There is a very great difference between years and months.
Chief Justice. That is of no importance.
Mr. McRae. It certainly shows the incorrectness of the witness's memory. Q. Did you say that Gen. Eaton wrote you not to send the records to the secretary at war? A So I understood from his letters. He wanted a conference with me.
Gen. Eaton. Are you confident whether this request was made before or after the trial? A I am not confident. It has been a great while ago.
Mr. Hay. Is it customary for the secretary at war to send an answer, when a sentence is sent to him for confirmation? A Yes—but many letters from him to me never arrived, and some that arrived were broken open. Q. And you sent general Eaton to the secretary at war? A Yes; a vessel was going from St. Mary's to Philadelphia. I wrote to captain Eaton to come down, and sent him on to Philadelphia for further instructions.
Mr. McRae. Did you hear from general Eaton afterwards? A Just before he shipped himself off to Tunis, he wrote to me.
Mr. Martin. Did the complaints cease, after he went to Philadelphia? A Yes; we were perfectly tranquil.
Mr. Wickham. Do you recollect any charge of putting an infant on the muster roll and drawing rations for him? A No; Q. A little boy? A Yes; a fifer. I thought it improper to have two fifers and a drummer on the roll, Mr. Wickham. What was his name? A Donaldson or Danielson.
Mr. Hay. Was this one of the charges before the court martial? A No. Mr. Hay. Then you will answer no questions as to that.
Mr. Wirt. How long did you remain in the army after this? A Till June 1802. Mr. Wirt. Did you resign then? A I got a letter from the secretary of war, revoking my commission.
Mr. May. Were not youself under arrest? A Yes; by the civil authority, and then by the military. Q. At what time? A In 1802. Q. Was nothing done in the military arrest? A I considered my dismissal as giving me liberty to withdraw, and I came off. Q. By whom were you arrested? A By general Wilkinson.
Mr. Wirt. What officers composed the court martial that tried general Eaton? A Major com. Freeman, president, captain S. Tinsley, captain Nichol, and some other officers; I am not certain whether captain Davidson and ensign McCall were the other members.
General Eaton. They were ensign McCall and lieutenant Thompson.
Mr. Wirt. Did they remain in service? A Freeman is now a major. Thompson is dead. McCall, I think, is in service.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Proceedings of Thursday, November 5, concluded.
Mr. Quincy, after some preparatory remarks, submitted to the house the following resolution:
Resolved, That the committee to whom was referred so much of the message of the president of the United States, as relates to aggressions committed within our ports and waters, by foreign armed vessels, to the violation of our jurisdiction, and the measures necessary for the protection of our ports and harbors, be instructed to enquire into the circumstances of the attack made on the frigate Chesapeake in June last, and the pretext or causes assigned for making it, and report the same to the house.
This resolution occasioned considerable debate. It was supported by the mover Messrs. Dana, Upham, Alexander, and Gardenier; and opposed by Messrs. Burwell, Blount, Smilie, Nelson, Sloan, Newton, G. W. Campbell, and Fisk. It was finally rejected 93 to 24.
The friends of this resolution contended that this step was necessary, in order to obtain a full statement of all the facts relative to the attack on the Chesapeake; that tho' this attack had been the cause of the early meeting of congress, it was doubtful whether the subject had yet been referred to any committee named in the resolution, who had several other subjects referred to them, to make a full report on this subject; a subject which had excited so much sensation in the public mind, that it became congress to obtain for the people, as early as possible, all the information that was in the power of the government to give.
In reply to these arguments, it was stated, that the committee to whom this subject has been referred, had already entered upon it, and were preparing with all diligence, materials for a report. The chairman of the committee (Mr. Blount) read a letter which he had just written to the secretary of state for the information required by this resolution; that the members of this committee were deeply impressed with the importance of the subject and stood in no need of special instructions to direct them to their duty; that no doubt had ever existed in the minds of any member of the committee as to the reference of this subject to them; that they had considered it as the most prominent business placed in their hands, and had therefore given it their first attention; that a motion of the kind proposed could be considered in no other light than as casting a censure upon the committee. They hoped, therefore, the committee would be permitted to proceed with their enquiries, without any additional instructions, which were altogether unnecessary.
The debate, with the yeas and nays, will appear in the next National Intelligencer.
Adjourned.
FRIDAY, Nov. 6.
Messrs. Garnett and Bacon were appointed to join Mr. Robinson of the Senate, as a committee of enrolled bills.
The Speaker laid before the house the annual Report of the secretary of the treasury, which was referred to the committee of ways and means and ordered to be printed.
The Speaker also laid before the house a communication from the governor of the Indiana Territory, inclosing resolutions of the legislative council and house of representatives of that territory, resolving to make application to congress to repeal the 6th article of compact contained in the ordinance of July 1787, which prohibits the introduction of slaves into the territory.
Also a counter petition from the inhabitants of Clark county, both of which were referred to a select committee of 7 members.
Mr. Sloan presented the petition of Ludwig Kuhn, of Philadelphia, praying for a compensation for supplies furnished during the revolution. Referred to the committee of claims.
Mr. Gardenier. Presented the petition of Wm. Hanna and others of Shenectady, manufacturers of leather praying that an act may be passed prohibiting the exportation of green hides and skins, as there are not produced in the country more than sufficient for home consumption, and they are now under the necessity of importing these articles from the Spanish main. Referred to the committee of commerce & manufactures.
Mr. Morrow presented a petition from citizens of Warren county, in the state of Ohio, praying for a new post road. Referred.
Mr. Lewis, from the committee appointed on the subject of the Potomac bridge, reported a bill authorising the erection of a bridge over the river Potomac, in the district of Columbia, which was twice read, committed to a committee of the whole, and ordered to be printed.
Mr. Lewis presented also the petition of John Evans, of Monongahela, stating that David Scott, to whom he had understood a pension had been granted, entered into the army of the U. S. in the spring of 1777, and that he was the year following broke by a court martial, and praying that the circumstances of the case, may be enquired into. Referred to the secretary of war.
Adjourned till Monday.
IN SENATE, Nov. 5, 1807.
Mr. Tiffin offered the following resolution. Resolved, By the Senate and House of Representatives of the U. States of America, in Congress assembled, two thirds of both houses concurring, that the following sections be submitted to the legislatures of the several states, which when ratified and confirmed by the legislatures of three-fourths of the said states, shall be valid and binding as a part of the constitution of the United States in lieu of the first section of the third article thereof.
The Judicial power of the United States shall be vested in the supreme court—and in such inferior courts as the congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The judges both of the supreme and inferior courts shall hold their offices for — years, shall be removed by the president on the address of two thirds of both houses of congress requesting the same and shall at stated times receive for their services a compensation which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office.
Which was ordered to lie for consideration.
Mr. Mitchell offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire whether any and what alterations are necessary to be made in the laws respecting insurrections and violations of the public peace and authority, as well as the laws respecting the conspiracy or enterprize of private individuals against foreign nations in amity with the United States, with leave to report by bill or otherwise.
Which was ordered to lie for consideration.
The following memorial has been presented to congress.
To the honorable the senate and house of representatives of the United States in congress assembled—
SINCE the adjournment of the first session of the ninth congress, I have received, at different times, communications from Hamet Caramelli, ex bashaw of Tripoli, stating his distressed situation & imploring beneficence from the United States—which communications have been transmitted to the proper department. I have the honor to offer for the consideration of congress a translated copy of the last address from him, (the original in Italian is in the office of the department of state) which is evidently intended for the representatives of the people of the United States, and is as follows:
To their most Serene Highnesses, IN the depth of my misery my only consolation has been the reliance I placed on the powerful support of a republic so distinguished throughout the world for that justice which protects and sustains whoever confides himself to her patronage—This credulity resigned me wholly to her discretion. But I could never have tho't that this my confidence should work out my individual destruction. I have sacrificed all my means, and exposed my life in the service of the United States,—It was impossible for me to expect by way of recompense, an excitement in Syracuse, far from my family and deprived of every convenience of life. I hoped to be recompensed by an equivalent to my usefulness and to my sacrifices. The promises made to me admitted no suspicion that so much time should have elapsed and that hope not yet realized, or that I should not have yet found repose. Public ships of war have repeatedly returned hither, which had been bearers of my communications. Seeing myself nevertheless unnoticed, I suspect my letters have been miscarried, for it is impossible to persuade me my circumstances and wants being known to them, that the United States would abandon me.
My situation does not enable me to undertake a long voyage for the purpose of making a personal representation of my deplorable condition. I hope the exalted republic will not require this of me, in order to awaken their feelings to my just expressions of gratitude and concern for myself: it would be unjust to neglect my complaints, and severely felt by those who occasion them.
I have lost my family; I have lost my inheritance: my acquisitions and my fair prospects are lost also! I have indeed sacrificed my claim to the confidence of a faithful ally* whom I abandoned through my partiality for the Americans. I had no right to apprehend that my devotion & complacency would overwhelm me in bot-tomless ruin.
To my own individual sufferings I ought to annex those of my faithful people, whose attachment to me has involved them in the same wretchedness, who suffer with me the same sequestration from their country, from their families & from their property; all of which they have

no violation of those whose duty it is to sustain them. It will not, like the world, reproach the survivors of the American nation with ingratitude. I rather implore commiseration towards me, at least as to restore to me my family, and not to me a competence. It is yet possible that, absent from my country, I may become serviceable to the United States. My former subjects are ready to devote their lives to my service with theirs. I will hold ever in devotion to that of the exalted re-
and am, for ever, M. Sirene B. Bressie, Hassan Bashaw Caramelli Son of Ali Bashaw, &c. &c. &c. case, 12th Feb. 1807.
Some expectations have been lately entertained by our government, from the representations of consul Davis, that previous to being made by the ruling bashaw for the subsistence of his ex-hassan. But upon information directed by George Dyson, esq. our agent at the United States, it is rendered certain that such can be relied on from that quarter, and probable that whenever execution of this decree had been held out by the bashaw, it had no other object than to bring his brother to destruction.
Having had myself the chief influence, in effecting the U. S. in drawing the ex-hassan from his situation in upper Egypt, and having in conformity to treaty arrangements been instrumental in reconciling him to the unparalleled reverse of abandoning his flattering prospects, of relinquishing forever his hopes of recovering the kingdom wrested from him by treason, and now apparently within his grasp; and of receiving from victory, like a prisoner, a kind of arrangement—having effected this by the assurances, which I was authorised to make him, that his wife and family should be restored to him, and that a manly respect to his future well-being would be had by our country, it may not be deemed inconsistent with the dictates of comity towards the supplicant, nor with my duties of respect towards the honorable body to whom his supplication are addressed, if I indulge a remark on the occasion.
It is remarkable, for it is an incontrovertible truth, that, whether the claims of the ex-bashaw go to the justice or the generosity of the U. S. the use which was made of his services contributed much, if not wholly influenced, the overtures of peace on the part of the ruling bashaw; for it was negotiated at a time when no coercion of our squadron then in the Mediterranean had as yet been attempted to be tried upon him, and when the insinuations of commo-dore Barron placed such an experiment at an incalculable distance. That no serious impressions had, from any quarter, been made on the apprehensions of the enemy after the transfer of the squadron from commo-dore Preble to commo-dore Barron, except what were impressed by the capture and subjugation of his eastern province, the liberal revolution of his kingdom, and the annihilation of his army through the influence and co-operation of Hamet Bashaw. That the U. S. alone enjoy the advantages resulting from those events, while the ex-bashaw, as he has truly represented, reaps no other benefit from his confinement and exertions than privation and exile, but a little better than captivity.
It cannot be contested that Hamet Bashaw has two fair claims on this nation.—To be reinstated in a situation as eligible as that from which he has been drawn; and, to have his family restored to him. The former guaranteed by honorable promises; the latter by the solemnity of treaty stipulation. And, it is firmly believed, the people of the U. S. are liberally disposed to see these obligations cancelled.
From a country, blessed beyond the common lot of nations, rich in her means, and possessed in the righteousness of her disposition, does not honor, justice, humanity, give the world a right to expect that the bond of charity at least should be opened to a friend, whom, without his fault or free agency, and from causes so notorious, in-justice has thrown into misery so profound. This unfortunate prince now suffers? It ought not to be concealed from con-cessors also that there are at Malta, and elsewhere, sundry foreigners, Frenchmen, Greeks and Mahometans, whose wounds received in the service of the U. S. in the province of Derna, render them incapable of acquiring a subsistence, and to whose no provisions made by law can be ex-tended.
Most respectfully submitted, Nov. 8d, WM. EATON.

To captain Rossiter, of the ship Laura, from Bristol, we are indebted for Bristol dates to the 12th and London to the 9th of September from which we have copied the following articles, corroborating the intelligence received at Boston.
"We are assured that dispatches, recently received by Mr. Munroe, were of a very conciliatory tendency; and that the tone and spirit in which they are conceived, have already had the happiest effect.—It is stated on good authority that all differences relative to the search for seamen are already adjusted; and that a negotiation has commenced for the purpose of concluding a treaty of commerce equally favorable to the trade and navigation of England, and to the true interests of the Americans.
"We are happy to inform our readers that considerable progress has been made in settling the dispute with the U. States.—The dispatches which Mr. Munroe has received were drawn up in a stile the most temperate and conciliating. We are glad they are so for we have learnt from the most indisputable authority that Mr. Pitt before his death, expressed to one of his political friends his regret at ever having been induced by existing circumstances to relax the maritime rights of Britain, and his determination to reestablish the system which had been acted upon during the administration of his father. In a negotiation heretofore concluded under the auspices of the present ministers, there is no ground for apprehending that any part of the power we have been accustomed to exercise on the ocean, and which is now more than ever necessary, we should rigidly maintain, will be relinquished. To consult the interests of trade is always a wise policy, but no commercial facilities, however advantageous, ought to be purchased by the slightest relaxation of those rights, which while they preserve, at the same time proclaim to all the world our naval superiority.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10.
At an election held yesterday for Directors of the BANK OF POTOMAC, the following gentlemen were chosen:
 Thomas Vowell,  James H. Hooe,  John G. Ladd,  Cuthbert Powell,  William Hartshorne,  James Patton,  Elisha Janney,  James Keith, jun.  Jacob Hoffman,  John Roberts,  Joseph Riddle,  Daniel M'Clean. 
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in New-Orleans, to his friend in Washington, dated Thursday, October 1, 1807.
"This morning at 10 o'clock, I shook lieutenant T. by the hand—and this evening at eight I held in my hand a ball that had passed through his heart.
"The best account I can give you of this melancholy affair is this. A number of officers were amusing themselves in their quarters last evening with cards, when R. came in and was asked to play: he declined, with a quotation from Shakespear. Some criticism was made on it by T. and an argument of some warmth took place—disagreeable reflections were made—bad language ensued, and this morning T sent R a challenge. They met, just before night, opposite to this city. D second to T.—R—1, surgeon: T—n, second to R.—W surgeon. On the word fire! T's pistol snapped, and R's snapped. On the second, they both fired almost at the same instant, and R's ball passed quite thro' T's body and lodged in the sleeve of his shirt. He staggered a few paces—exclaimed "I am a dead man"—fell into the arms of his friend and instantly expired.
"What a dreadful affair is this! and how much is to be lamented the frequency of these occurrences! R did not wish to fight him, but unfortunately all attempts at accommodation were vain. T poor fellow, would listen to no proposals. He had a strong presentiment of his fate and expressed it; but he behaved with the utmost firmness and resolution. R was much affected, and embraced him in the agonies of death, exclaiming in a frantic manner, "my dear friend! why would you force me to this? let me declare in your dying ear that I had no enmity to you—that I did not wish to meet you—and that I shall mourn your death as that of a brother."
The emperor of Austria, says a London print, it is understood, is to be immediately married to a daughter of the king of
Saxony; and the arch duke of Wurtenburgh, the emperor's uncle, is to be king of Franconia. These may be considered as boons granted by Bonaparte, for the neutrality of Austria during the last contest.
It is not found that the ladies get married any faster since they begin to strip themselves. The gentlemen, it may be supposed, are deterred by their naked, butcherly arms, and sharp elbows.
Two Questions and one Answer. How will the expences of government be maintained, when our commerce is annihilated or driven from the ocean? By taxes! And how will the people pay these taxes when their produce is rotting on their hands? Let those answer who are able.
[The following inscription is copied from the tomb erected over the ashes of general Wayne. We trust, the friends of this hero will be gratified by its perusal.] (Balt. pap.)
HERE LIES Beneath this noble tent, Fitting for nobler enterprize; With nothing less than Heav'n content: Waiting (while ordered out again) Till trumpets bid him rise, To join the armies of the skies. IMMORTAL GENERAL WAYNE, Tho' here At winter quarters, His warlike corps remain, Tho' Death, that monarch grim, A prisoner made of him, His gallant enterprising soul Is on parole, Viewing each heavenly plane, Where he Must shortly be, With Indian Chiefs in unity, His next campaign.
