TRIAL
OF COLONEL A. BURR.
MOTION FOR COMMITMENT.
EXAMINATION OF EVIDENCE.
THURSDAY, October 1.
(General Wilkinson's testimony continued.)
Mr. Wickham. I observe the word republican is represented in the hieroglyphic by '76, aristocratic by '89, navy by '96 City of Washington by a single house and that an indifferent one. Pray why was that, as the seat of government was not removed till many years afterwards? I observe the city of Washington but not Philadelphia, nor any place mentioned as the seat of government? A The cypher was formed by my aide de camp capt. Smith, and the designations originated in his caprice without my privity or participation.
Mr. Wickham. Do you recollect for what purpose New Orleans was designated in the hieroglyphics? A I can probably account for it. If you will refer to those periods, you will discover that we were in an equivocal situation with all the maritime powers; more particularly with England & Spain. The navigation of the Mississippi had been a subject of much discussion, and one in which the western people felt a considerable degree of interest. The Ohio is also designated. That is probably confined to mere locality. We were then engaged in a war with the Indians, and were in the woods on the waters of the Ohio. I have before said that I could not account for the various designations; but I offer these as circumstances which may have influenced captain Smith in forming them.
Mr. Wickham. Do you recollect when the alphabet in cypher was put on this paper, [alluding to a paper on which the hieroglyphics were written, which he then held in his hand?] A Last winter, I believe, they were put on to prevent their being lost.
Mr. Wickham. Have you brought up the communication from the government which we wished to have here to look at? A I have not.
Mr. Hay. I think you said there was no militia in New Orleans, but Fort Massac, the Chickasaw Bluffs and at Cincinnati, A Yes. That at Cincinnati was established by the government after the flight of Blannerhasset.
Mr. Hay. Was there none at Natchez? A There was one lieutenant Peter and a few men left at that place to keep a look out, and give me regular information.
Mr. Hay. ben begged leave to introduce the testimony of George Poindexter, esq. who was accordingly examined.
GEORGE POINDEXTER, Esq *
Mr. Hay. Is this the original agreement entered into between Col. Meade, acting governor of the Mississippi territory and Aaron Burr? A Yes. It is proper, sir, I will state the circumstances which led to the agreement, and col. Burr's surrender to the civil authority of the Mississippi territory.
Chief Justice. Proceed, sir.
Witness. On the day preceding the date of this agreement, I was appointed by the hon. Col. Meade, then the acting governor of the Mississippi territory, an honorary aide-de-camp, for the express purpose of visiting col. Burr at the boats near the mouth of Bayou Pierre, on the western margin of the river Mississippi; which I did in company with major William B. Shields. The object of this visit was to gain correct information as to the situation of Burr, to ascertain his views, so far as he would communicate them, and to procure his peaceful surrender to the civil authority. We were accompanied by a Mr. Ralston, one of Burr's party, who had called on judge Rodney to give his deposition. We arrived that night at judge Bruin's, who resides near the mouth of Bayou Pierre. The next morning we proceeded down the river till we came opposite to col. Burr's boats, and Ralston gave a signal for a boat, which was immediately sent over for us. Before we embarked we were joined by col. Thomas Fitzpatrick. Several persons, then unknown to me, but whose names I have since understood, came on horseback to the bank of the river and crossed with us; I supposed them to be agents, sent by Burr into the
* Mr. Poindexter was Attorney General of the Miss. Ter. but lately resigned that office on being elected to Congress.
country, to collect information respecting the public sentiment concerning him, and to induce the citizens to believe his plans were laudable and sanctioned by government. When we reached the western bank of the river, we were met by col. Burr, to whom major Shields handed a letter, of which he was the bearer from Mr. Meade, acquainting col. Burr with the object of our visit. In the letter there was a sentence relating to the restoration of tranquillity in the territory, which sentence Burr repeated once or twice with a sneer, adding, that "he had no intention to injure the citizens of the United States." Col. Burr then expressed himself to this effect: "As to any projects or plans which may have been formed between general Wilkinson and myself heretofore, they are now completely frustrated by the perfidious conduct of Wilkinson, and the world must pronounce him a perfidious villain." Burr also, in speaking of Wilkinson, said "If I am sacrificed my Port Folio will prove him to be a villain." He further stated, that so far from having any designs hostile to the citizens of the U. S. he had intended to have met Mr. Meade at Gibson Port, on the day of a general muster, which happened at that place about the time of his arrival at Bayou Pierre, but was deterred from doing so, by a belief that he would be assassinated, were he seen passing thro' the territory. He then pointed to his boats and asked, if there was any thing military in their appearance. I told him it was true his men did not appear to be armed, but they were just such persons as I should expect to see about a camp; they did not seem to be in a situation to settle on farms. I also remarked to col. Burr that I had no hesitation in giving him the most perfect assurance of personal safety while in the territory, until he should be disposed of according to the laws of his country; that the object of Mr. Meade in calling out the militia was to preserve inviolate the laws and constitution of the U. S.; that if that object could be secured without the employment of force, it would be preferable, but assured him that force would be used if necessary, for which purpose the militia were then on their march to arrest his progress. Col. Burr declared his willingness to submit to the civil authority, and proposed that an interview should take place betwixt himself and the acting governor, on the next day, at some convenient place in the territory, that we should guarantee his person from actual violence in the mean time, and restore him to his boats, if Mr. Meade should not accept his surrender to the civil authority; that his boats and people should keep the position they then occupied, until after the proposed interview took place, and that, in the mean time, his people, (as he called them) should commit no breach of the peace, nor violate any law of the U. S. or of the Mississippi territory. The place designated at which col. Burr should meet the executive was the house of Thomas Calvit, a respectable citizen of the Mississippi territory, who resides near the mouth of Coles Creek, where the detachment of Militia which had ascended the river were stationed. The substance of these propositions was committed to writing at the request of col. Burr and copies interchanged; the copy given to col. Burr is in the hand writing of major Shields, and that which remained in our possession is in the hand writing of col. Burr, subscribed by him in my presence, and also by the witness, col. Thomas Fitzpatrick. Col. Burr, according to stipulation, descended the river on the 17th of January last (the day after the agreement was entered into) as far as the mouth of Coles Creek, in company with col. Fitzpatrick, who directed him to be taken in charge by capt. Davidson's company of dragoons and conducted to the house of Mr. Calvit. In a short time after col. Burr's arrival, Mr. Meade and him commenced a conversation on the subject of his surrender to the civil authority of the territory. I do not know every thing that passed between them, but understood the following terms were offered to col. Burr by Mr. Meade:
 1. That the agreement entered into for the purpose of procuring that interview, should be declared void.  2. That Burr should surrender unconditionally to the civil authority and proceed directly to the town of Washington.  3. That his boats should be searched, and all military apparatus found on board should be disposed of as the executive should think fit. 
To these terms Mr. Meade required colonel Burr's unequivocal reply as I understood in fifteen minutes, and if not agreed to Mr. Burr was to be instantly returned to his boats, and the militia ordered to seize the whole party by force.
The terms were agreed to and carried into effect. Colonel Burr declared his unwillingness to fall into the power of General Wilkinson, and requested that if any attempt should be made to seize him by a military force from New Orleans, that it might be opposed. I was myself of opinion, that Gen. Wilkinson would make such an attempt as it would tend to subvert the laws and constitution of the United States, and also the municipal regulations of the territory. Had such an attempt been made while Mr. Meade was the acting governor, I have reason to believe, that he would have maintained the empire of the law and the rights of the civil authority by force, if necessary. Major Shields and myself attended on col. Burr to the town of Washington, where he was delivered over to the custody of the law, and the examination of the witnesses immediately commenced before judge Rodney. A committee of five gentlemen as well as I recollect, was appointed to examine the boats who proceeded up the river for that purpose, and I believe made their report to the executive.
I was then called on in my official capacity, as attorney general to give a written opinion as to the course which ought to be pursued with col. Burr. I did so, and that opinion I believe was filed in the office of the secretary of the Mississippi Territory. My opinion was that we had no evidence to convict col. Burr of any offence in the Mississippi territory—that the supreme court of the territory to which a jury was about to be summoned, had no original jurisdiction of any prosecution, & could only take cognizance of points of law reserved at the trial in the circuit court—that therefore Burr ought to be sent under a sufficient guard, direct to the city of Washington, where the Supreme court of the United States would be in session, and the judges attending from every part of the union, could direct the accused to be tried in the district where from the evidence it might appear an overt act of treason had been committed. But judge Rodney thought different and a venire facias was issued requiring the attendance of 76 jurors at an adjourned session of the Supreme court of the Mississippi Territory held in February last.
From the number of jurors attending, a grand jury of 23 persons was selected, who received a charge from judge Rodney, and adjourned until the next day. At the meeting of the court the next morning, I moved to discharge the grand jury, 1. Because the court did not possess original jurisdiction in any case. 2 Because the depositions, submitted to my inspection did not furnish sufficient evidence to convict col. Burr of the offences with which he was charged, so as to bring them within the Mississippi territory. 3 That a warrant might issue, transmitting the accused to a court, having competent jurisdiction, to try and punish him, if guilty of the crimes alledged against him. The court being divided on this motion it was overruled. The grand jury then retired. I determined to prefer no indictment, and left the court. In the evening while I was engaged in the Legislature, a message was sent me by the court requesting my attendance. I immediately repaired to the court room and was desired to look at the presentments of the grand jury. I perused them, and found that the grand jury, had presented the acting governor for calling out the militia—the manner in which col. Burr surrendered himself to the civil authority—the proceedings at Orleans: and I believe the general government itself did not escape. I felt, and declared my astonishment at such unwarrantable proceedings, and informed the court that I should take no further notice of the presentments, and retired. Judge Rodney likewise I believe censured the conduct of the grand jury; it may be proper to mention, that a respectable proportion of the jury withheld their signatures from these presentments. Col. Burr, that evening, went to the house of col. Osmon, and disappeared. I afterwards attended the court, and had a judgement nisi entered on the recognizance given by Burr, and his securities, Lyman Hudig and Banijah Osmon; a scire facias was issued and served on the securities which is now depending before the supreme court of the Mississippi Territory. What happened after col. Burr withdrew, I know not except from hearsay.
Cross-Examined.
Question by Mr. Martin. Have you a copy of the recognizance said to have been entered into by col. Burr. A I have not, but have seen a copy in the hands of Mr. Hay. Q Were you present when it was executed? A No.
Mr. Martin. You said that the judges ordered seventy six jurors to be summoned. Who were the judges? A Bruin and Rodney.

Mr. Wickham. Do you know any thing of military men sent from New Orleans, to seize Col. Burr? A. I understood that there were, with a Dr. Carmichael who resides in the Miss. Ter. was one.  Mr. Wickham. Was there an expectation that part of the country that gen. Wilkinson had sent men for that purpose, and that Col. Burr would be seized? A. It was talked of & generally disapproved. Q. Where was Col. Burr at the time of his entering into the convention on the west side of the Mississippi? A. He was in the territory of Orleans, and in pursuance of his agreement came over to the Miss. Ter.  Mr. Wickham. Did Col. Burr seem to be apprehensive of military force? A. He did not, except that he was particularly unwilling to fall into the hands of gen. Wilkinson. He inquired of Col. Fitzpatrick, major Shields and myself, whether there was any pass or road above Natchez through which he could pass to Ouachita, and wished to know whether any person could be employed to pilot him. We gave him no satisfactory answer on the subject. My own impression was that he wished to establish himself on the Ouachita, as a place of rendezvous to which his men might rally.  Mr. Wickham. Have you understood that an officer of the army was sent by gen. Wilkinson to take Col. Burr? A. I heard a lieut. of the army (but I had rather not mention his name) say that he was one of the persons employed for that purpose.  Mr. Wickham. Did you offer to read the recognizance entered into by Col. B. in the Mississippi territory?  Mr. Wickham. objected to its being read, and declared it a forgery. He said he was willing to answer the consequences to Judge Rodney, and give it under his hand that it was a forgery.  Mr. Hay. Judge Rodney is so near Mr. Wickham, that you can answer for it with perfect safety.  Mr. Poindexter. Mr. Harding one of the securities in the recognizance, said that the recognizance returned by Judge Rodney was not the one entered into by Col. Burr, Mr. Osburn and himself. But I do not think it was believed by one honest person in the country.  Mr. Hay. Did the paper of which this is an authentic copy bear any marks of erasure? A. Not that I recollect. It was in the usual form in which Judge Rodney took other recognizances; that the person bound should stand from day to day until discharged by the court. The recognizances of Blannerhasset and others taken on the same occasion, were in the same form. Judge Rodney informed me, that Mr. Harding sat down to sign the recognizance, and after beginning it, said it was useless to go through with it; that he would acknowledge themselves bound before him, and he might make out the recognizance at his leisure.  Mr. Wickham. Then you understood Mr. Wickham to say that the recognizance was not returned to him until the departure of Col. Burr from his presence. A. I so understood it.  Mr. Wickham. Then it was no recognizance entered into by Mr. Poindexter. That is a question.  Mr. Hay. As something has been said about Judge Rodney, what is his general character? A. One of the most honest men under Heaven, and an old revolutionary patriot.  Mr. Hay. And this is the man who has been charged with forgery by Mr. Martin? A. Mr. Martin. Let him be who he will, I charge him with having returned a different recognizance from that which was entered into before him.  Mr. Poindexter. On Friday, the 2d of October, Mr. Poindexter was again called, and farther examined.  Question by Col. Burr. Do you recollect that it was one of the stipulations between Mr. Meade and me that military authority should be laid aside? A. You were not required to surrender yourself a prisoner of war, but you surrendered unconditionally to the civil authority.  Mr. Hay. Did not Mr. Meade promise you all military authority as to me? A. I do not recollect to have heard Mr. Meade say any such thing.  (Mr. Poindexter's testimony to be continued.)  Forty Dollars Reward, FOR APPREHENDING JAMES GEORGE.

BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.  BALTIMORE, Oct. 24.  By the arrival of the brig Happy Couple at this port, we have received our regular file of the Paris Moniteur , from the 1st of August to the 4th of September inclusive. The only article of importance from Denmark which we notice at the first glance furnishes intelligence from Copenhagen to the 20th of August, and from the extremity of Zealand to the 22d of the same month. It is represented that the Danes had been successful in two series against the British on the 19th and 20th; that they commanded all the avenues leading to Copenhagen together with such other positions as incommoded the British considerably in their approaches to the city, and compelled them to proceed with the utmost caution.  We understand that the captain of the Happy Couple reports that batteries were erected by the Danes and French on both sides of the Great Belt, with the intention of acting against the British ships that guarded that passage and that a French army of fifty thousand men were ready to pass over to Zealand at the first opportunity to compel the British to raise the siege of the Danish capital. Part of the suburbs of Copenhagen were reported to have been burnt by order of the Danish commander Peyman. We find this corroborated in our Paris papers by an article under the head of Kiel, Aug. 21.  The captain is also represented to state, that Bonaparte had had a conference with the king of Spain on the confines of his kingdom & that the French army of forty thousand men collected in the neighborhood of Bayonne, had marched for the reduction of Portugal.  The Moniteur is full of the projects of new laws relative to external commerce, internal trade and improvements, and a variety of minor objects all tending to shew the indefatigable industry of Bonaparte and his counsellors to make France as prosperous in peace as she has been in war. Several reports of great length are given in official form, exhibiting the situation of the French empire in almost every point of view: The pictures drawn are calculated to flatter the vanity of a more sedate nation than the French, who are called by the oracles of government the great and good people . It will be impossible to publish those statements entire, but we shall from time to time give such extracts as will furnish the reader with a pretty correct idea of the efforts of Napoleon to raise the people over whom he reigns to the very pinnacle of grandeur.  Stralsund surrendered to the French under Marshal Brune on the 20th of Aug. the king of Sweden having become alarmed for his situation and fled to Rugen, leaving M. Peyron, one of his aide-de-camps, to make the best terms he could with the besiegers. The inhabitants were very much terrified when the French troops entered the town; but it does not appear that gen. Brune suffered any violence or disorder to take place.  Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Bordeaux, to his father in this city dated September 8, 1807.  "The emperor of France leaves no stone unturned to ruin Great Britain. There are at present no less than 100,000 men marching through this place on their way to Portugal.* I think Spain is included in their object; and shall be much surprized if the present king is not dethroned. It appears that Lucien is to be king of Navarre, which will comprehend Biscay, Navarre and Catalonia; Portugal to be given to Spain in lieu. It will not end there."  * Quere —Is not Gibraltar one object.  FREDERICKSBURG, Oct. 24.  Further particulars respecting the Fire.  To those who are acquainted with this town, and feel an interest in its welfare, and whose sympathy is excited towards its citizens by the late awful dispensation, which has reduced a great part of it to a heap of ruins, we have conceived it a duty to give the following particulars.  The fire commenced at the only situation, perhaps, in the whole town, as the wind stood, capable of producing so immediate and of course so destructive effects. A small house which stood on the opposite side of the street and a warehouse occupied by Mr. William Taylor, immediately below the first house, were the next in flames, and from these it progressed on the south side as far as Mr. Henderson's, destroying every building on the main street. Here it was happily arrested—had it commenced at Mr. Henderson's buildings the destruction of the main street, it is supposed would
have been inevitable. On the north side its ravages was unfortunately much greater, and comprehended every building from late Mr. Roe's corner to Mr. Lear's inclusive, the next corner above Mrs. Heath's, both on the main and Water streets, including 45 dwelling houses, besides stores, ware-houses, &c.  The persons with families, who in four short hours were driven from their habitations by this destructive element to seek a shelter among their neighbors & friends were—the late Mr. Wm. Stansard, where the fire began, Messrs. John Crump, Geo. Cox, John Welch, Richard Garner, Wm. Poirier, Richard Parish, David Smith, Charles Stewart, James, Slater, William Wells, Sam. Davis, J. Richards, R. Coyle, John Gray, Adam Cooke, Walter Gregory, Mrs. Fisher, Leonard Adams, John Coakley, John Mark, William Smock, Morgan Sweny, John Weidemeyer, John Lear and many others not recognized, with several others of people of color. The destruction of property was great indeed, some lost their All . The sympathy and benevolence of the citizens are excited to its utmost limits, and much has been done and is still doing for alleviating the distresses of the sufferers, and we trust the generous sentiment will be at least as extensive as the applications.  Alexandria Daily Advertiser.  MONDAY, OCTOBER 26.  TRIAL OF COL. BURR.  LATEST PROCEEDINGS.  After the delivery of the opinion of the court, on Tuesday, the Chief Justice observed, that he had not specified (in that opinion) the particular district to which the prisoners were to be committed. He thought it best that there should be only one trial for them; but if Burr was sent to Kentucky, Blannerhasset could not, because he had provided no means for the expedition but in the district of Ohio.  Mr. Hay then moved for their commitment to Ohio, which was ordered.  Mr. Wickham then moved for an attachment against Mr. Benjamin Hawkins, an Indian agent, for detaining Dr. Cummings, a witness in this prosecution, and breaking open certain papers in his care belonging to Mr. Blannerhasset one of the accused: a rule ordered.  Messrs. Burr and Blannerhasset were admitted to bail, in the sum of 3,000 dollars each. Luther Martin and Dr. Cummings, securities for A. Burr: Dr. Cummings and Israel Smith, for H. Blannerhasset.  The court then adjourned till their court in course.  [Richmond Enquirer.]  Captain Gardner, arrived at Baltimore from La Guira, informs, that he was boarded off the Cape, by the British ship of war Bellona , and had a Dane pressed; the boarding officer stated, that they had orders to press all Danes and Swedes .  The hon. Samuel W. Dana, lately appointed to represent the state of Connecticut in the senate of the U. S. has declined the appointment, and the hon. Chauncy Goodrich has been appointed in his place.  Our affairs with England.  Great complaints have been made and with great justice, of the inscrutable secrecy of the government in regard to our relations with Great Britain. Notwithstanding the millions of property at hazard and notwithstanding the perplexing embarrassments which necessarily result from the present equivocal state of things, by which every one is deterred from entering into any extensive commercial speculations, the merchants have not been able to obtain so much as a hint from the government as to the probable result of the pending negotiations, nor any intimation of the course of conduct which it would be prudent for them to adopt. This system of secrecy, however, is not without exceptions—Though no information is given to those most deeply interested in receiving it. To those whom the president LOVES he communicates. Within the present month of October he has written to THOMAS PAINE at N. York, that nothing decisive has occurred on the subject of our affairs with England;—but that all little circumstances which have come to the knowledge of the government were unfavorable to their wishes for peace .  Our readers may rely on the authenticity of this statement. It comes to us through such a channel that we cannot be deceived—and we challenge a contradiction.  [U. S.
