TRIAL
OF COLONEL A. BURR.
MOTION FOR COMMITMENT.
EXAMINATION OF EVIDENCE.
[CONTINUED.]
THURSDAY, Sept. 24.
Richard Neale.
Whilst I was copying the Querist, r. Blannerhasset informed me in conversation, that the object was to divide the states by the back bone, the Alleghany including part of Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky and all the Western country; to establish a separate government on that side of the mountain, by which means the money arising from the sale of the lands would be kept among them. I asked him where was to be their capital. He said he expected at Lexington, Kentucky. I asked him if congress would not be opposed to it. He said he expected not; but it was immaterial whether they were or not, as one cannon on the mountain would keep off all the forces they could send. I left Wood county on the 20th October with a drove of hogs for Alexandria, which Mr. Blannerhasset's overseer, had purchased in partnership. A week or two before I started Mr. Blannerhasset went down the river and I never saw him, till I met him in this place.
Mr. JOHN GRAHAM.
In the latter end of October last, I received a letter from Mr. Madison requesting that I would pass through the western country on my return to New Orleans. I know not whether it be proper to assign to the court the reasons of this wish. It may serve however to explain my conduct in the western country. Mr. Madison stated to me, as a reason of this request, that government had received information from various quarters that a project was on foot to sever the union or to invade the territory of Spain.
Mr. Wickham objected to this explanation.
Witness. It was to show that I acted in obedience to my duty as an officer of the
Mr. Wickham. What office did you hold? A. I was secretary of the Orleans territory. When I arrived at Marietta about the middle of November, I made enquiries, & heard perhaps what it may not be proper to state. Mr. Duval called on me and informed me that Mr. Blannerhasset had just arrived with him and would wait upon me. After passing the usual compliments and expressing his pleasure at seeing me, he begged leave to read to me certain letters he had received by captain Elliot of the Western country who had just returned from Pittsburgh. Mr. Blannerhasset made many enquiries relative to Comfort Tyler, Dean and Butler, and the preparations which they were making for their expedition down the river; what number of men and settlers they had obtained. Mr. Elliot gave him to understand that there would be more settlers than there would be boats for them. When Blannerhasset received this information, he observed that they could descend in his boats as he had more boats than men—Before Mr. Elliot quitted the room Mr. Bl. handed me a letter which he said he had received a few days before from col. Burr in Kentucky. Shall I state my recollection of the contents of that letter?
Mr. McRae. Do you believe the letter to have been col. Burr's? A. I believed it was col. Burr's writing; for although I had never seen col. Burr write, yet I had seen several letters said to have been written by col. Burr. I merely mention this letter to show that it gave rise to a conversation between Mr. Blannerhasset and myself, relative to the contents of this letter. The conversation was somewhat desultory; nor do I particularly recollect the order in which the several topics were introduced. In general I recollect that Mr. Blannerhasset animadverted upon the conduct pursued towards col. Burr at Frankfort; stating his belief however that this conduct was not authorised by the government. He mentioned that col. B. had purchased from col. Lynch, I think a certain part of baron Bastrop's grant in the territory of Orleans. He stated also that he was to have an interest in this purchase and seemed desirous of impressing on my mind a belief, that the object of his preparations was the settlement of this land, but I cannot now recollect that in the
course of conversation he did positively avow it. His object seemed to be to avoid an explicit avowal; but he said that they avowed that this was their object; that it was a legal one and government would have no right to interfere, until it was ascertained that they (meaning col. Burr and himself, as I understood) had an ulterior object. He contended that they had a right to go towards this object with such preparations as they thought proper. This was an opinion in which I did not acquiesce. I made few enquiries, but he admitted in the course of conversation, that he was building boats for the expedition in which he was engaged with col. Burr; that he was engaging young men, single and without families to go down armed; he said they would have no cannon but rifles. He stated in the course of conversation the use to which these rifles might be applied; to resist the Indians and Spaniards or to kill game. It is justice to Mr. Blannerhasset to add, that he said he did not solicit men to go; that he took such only as pleased to go, and that he did not expect more than three hundred men would go with him. He stated also that he was engaging provisions for this same expedition. From what I had heard after my arrival at Marietta and from the manner in which Mr. Blannerhasset had entered my room and made these communications, I was rather induced to believe that he considered me to be one of the party. Q. Why—from his manner? A. My acquaintance before with him was slight, yet he was extremely polite to me; and expressed how happy he would be at seeing me in his own house. For reasons, which it is unnecessary to take up the time of the court with, I was anxious to undeceive Mr. Blannerhasset. I asked him if he had stated that I was one of the party. He said that he had, and that he had understood so from col. Burr. When I assured him I was not he expressed considerable surprise; not by verbal declarations, but by the marked air of his countenance. He observed to me that I did not know col. Burr, and passed some eulogiums upon him, and asked me in a very impressive manner, whether I had not heard of an association at N. Orleans for the invasion of Mexico. I told him that I had not, and I ventured to assure him that there was no such association there. He told me that there certainly was and that about three hundred men that was his expression, for the purpose of invading Mexico. After I had repeated my thorough conviction that there was none such, and assigned the fact of his being deceived about me, as a presumptive reason why he should be deceived about others, he told me that he had obtained this information from Mr. Bradford.
Considering Mr. Blannerhasset at that time a deluded man, I endeavored to draw him off from the undertaking in which he was engaged; and considering that it was more the policy of the government to prevent than to punish such enterprises on the Ohio, I informed him, that so far from being concerned in the plan, I was an agent of the government, authorized to enquire into the facts relative to this enterprise in the Western country, and to take such steps as might be necessary for repressing it. I then stated to him, from reasons drawn from col. Burr's visit to N Orleans in the preceding summer, from the information which government had received, and from the nature of the preparations which Mr. Blannerhasset himself was then making, why I believed that the object of col. Burr was either to attack the territories of the United States or those of Spain. I assured him at the same time that any collection or combination of armed men on the Ohio; would under these circumstances be considered as a violation of the laws and repressed accordingly. He again contended that they had a right to go down the river, as they thought proper, inasmuch as they avowed the settlement of Ouachita, which was a legal object. Though we could not agree on this point, he asked me whether there would be any objection or opposition made to those men, if they went down in small parties. I gave him to understand, that this would depend upon circumstances, but that when they were collected, they would be arrested, and the enterprise would end in the ruin and disgrace of all those who were concerned in it.
During this conversation I stated to Mr. Blannerhasset pointedly, that I knew not the opinions of Mr. Jefferson or Mr. Madison; that these were my own opinions, and that I had power to act under the government of the United States, as circumstances required; that I was authorized to call on the constituted authorities of the
country, if the constitution was about to be violated. I wish the court to understand that I was to consider the moving down the Ohio as a violation of the law, and I was then to call on the constituted authority. When I spoke of the reasons which influenced my belief as to col. B's plans, Mr. Blannerhasset observed to me, that however acute the opinions of gentlemen might be, he and col. Burr were as well acquainted with the constitution and the laws as the administration itself; and that they knew very well what they were about. Q. What produced this remark? A. I do not recollect, but perhaps it may have been the arguments which I had used to show that the expedition was a violation of the laws. Mr. Bl. said, that he had joined his friends in this undertaking and could not abandon them, unless they consented to give the thing up; and asked me if he was at liberty to communicate to col. B. the information I had given him. I told him he was. I do not recollect whether I have mentioned the opinion I expressed to Mr. Bl. of the validity of Bastrop's grant. I told him all that I knew of the title and that col. Burr would have no title to it; and that if he had the Orleans land could be no object with Mr. Blannerhasset.
Mr. Wirt. How came you sir informed about this title? A. I had been at N. Orleans, where the subject was much talked of. Q. Have there been any judicial proceedings about it? A. I told Mr. Bl that Mr. Lynch claimed under Mr. E. Livingston; that this was a considerable purchase; and that Mr. Livingston had invalidated this contract in open court.
Mr. Burr. I deny that this is a fact. The next day, perhaps that afternoon, I met with Mr. Bl. at another house, in company with gentlemen most of them strangers to me. Mr. Bl. was speaking & avowing that col. Burr had a great many friends in Kentucky. I observed that this would much depend upon his object; if to settle Ouachita lands, that the people would wish him well; but if it was to attack the territories of Spain or those of the United States, he would have very few friends. In reply, Mr. Blannerhasset observed, that whatever was his object he either had or would have a great number of friends. This was in a public room, in a Tavern, and several gentlemen were present: I believe particularly a Major
Mississippi Territory. Mr. Hay. Had you any communications with Mr. Burr? A. I had; and in the Mississippi territory too. In consequence of the information I had received from Mr. Henderson and others, I lodged information with the governor of Ohio, and a law was passed, and I was also instrumental at Frankfort in Kentucky, in the passage of a similar law. Their object was to put an end to these expeditions.
When I arrived at the little town of Washington in the Mississippi territory about the latter end of January or beginning of Feb. I heard that col. Burr was in the house.
Mr. Hay. Where is Washington? on the Mississippi river? A. No; it is ten miles from it; and 7 miles back of Natchez. It is the seat of government of the Mississippi territory. I waited on col. B. principally with a view to ascertain whether the information I had given to Mr. Bl. had been communicated to him. I asked him whether Mr. Bl. had communicated our conversation to him. He said that he had. I told him on entering his room, that I had just arrived from the upper country, and perhaps he might be anxious to hear the news. He told me that Mr. Blannerhasset had accused me of a breach of hospitality. I replied, that I never was in his house in my life. He spoke of his protested bills drawn in Lexington, and seemed to attribute their protest to the measures adopted by the government. I told him that just before I left Lexington, the merchants there had received information that they would be paid. He said they ought to be paid, as the man on whom they were drawn had the funds to pay them with. He then spoke
of the measures pursued by government which was the expression; that they had detained his people. (Q. Was this before or after his trial? A. It was before; he had then entered into recognition) He said that he had invited investigation into his conduct; he spoke of the measures of the military, and his determination to resist them: I understood him to mean the military of the U. S.; he either said he had or that he would order his people to resist them. He said that he had claimed the protection of the civil authority, and thought that protection would be adequate to his safety. He spoke too of the Ouachita settlement; I believe he told me that he should send his people there, but did not know whether he should venture into the territory himself; intimating, as I thought, an apprehension of gen. Wilkinson. He asked me if I knew what had given rise to the president's proclamation. I told him that I did not; unless it was gen. Eaton's communication. The court will see from the date of the proclamation that any information I could have imparted had not then reached the seat of government. Col. Burr observed, that the machinations of his enemies had led to these proceedings; and that facts did not support and justify them. I assured him that those who were alarmed and agitated were not his enemies; at least this was the idea I intended to convey; and after stating to him the alarm extending through the western country, I proposed to him that he should make some public declaration as to his real object. His reply to this was, that he was a party concerned and that no declaration of his could have any effect. He seemed disposed to ridicule the idea of his bringing about a separation of the union by physical force; that it was to be produced by moral, not physical causes. I had heard in the western country of a considerable number of men, perhaps 2,000, being collected for the purpose of invading Mexico. His reply was, that he supposed that event was in case of a war with Spain. I told him no; that I had not understood it as depending on that condition. He then said something about the Ouachita land; and replied, that perhaps when they had a separate government, something of that sort might be attempted (meaning as I understood, the invasion of Mexico.) Soon after this, or at least before I had heard any explanation of what he meant by "a separate government," a gentleman of his family came in, and I took leave. I had no further conversations with Mr. Burr or Mr. Blannerhasset, I lodged an information against Mr. Bl. and was with him before a magistrate.
Mr. Hay. Did you make particular observations to Mr. Blannerhasset about the sort of preparations he was making? A. He spoke of the settlement of the Ouachita as their object. I observed to him as a reason why I should not think it was, that young men without families or without any of the implements of husbandry were engaged to go. He said that their arms were to kill turkeys or Indians. He then launched out into an abuse of the administration, their neglect of the army and navy, &c. I forgot to state this circumstance. When Mr. Blannerhasset met me to know how far he was at liberty to communicate my opinion to colonel Burr, I urged to him the impropriety of his engaging in these objects; he said it was impossible that colonel Burr could have so much deceived him and his son-in-law Mr. Alston.
Mr. Wirt. Was this remark after you had announced yourself as the agent of government? A. It was.
Mr. Wirt. Did he say any thing to your objection about the want of implements of husbandry? A. He did say something about the opening of roads. But he never did tell me the real object. Q. Do you know any thing of the Ouachita land? A. I never was on it. Q. What is its character? A. Some say it is good; and some say it is bad. I believe the greater part of it is covered with water; and there is some very fine land.
Cross-Examined.—Mr. Burr. Did you ever see Bastrop's patent? A. Never. Q. Did you read it? A. No: I always understood that there never was one.
Mr. Burr. You have said that the greater part was water; I will assure the court, that it was to be laid out without any water. Were you ever examined before? A. Yes: I made a deposition, when I lodged information before the legislature of Ohio. Q. Were you examined on any other occasion? A. I was before the grand jury. Q. Did you say any thing then of a conversation you had with gen. Neville? A. Yes. I told gen. Neville that I had come to make some enquiries into this affair. General N. informed me what had passed in his conversation with the Morgans. He said the people had apprehended

that your object was the separation of the United States; but that if it was the invasion of Mexico, you would be better received on your return than you ever had been. Q. Did you not then speak of the boats? A. I did not then say, they were unfit to go up the stream? A. I so understood at that time. Q. Do you not know that they were seized by the government to send troops up the stream? A. I did not hear of it before I came here. Q. Did you give you a welcome reception? A. I was not acquainted with your manner. It was not disrespectful. Q. Have you not heard Governor Williams, Mead, and the others say, that they would not suffer the military to take me? A. I most certainly recommended that I both thought and said that it was improper to take you by military authority; and I heard Gov. Williams say, if the act was made, he was not authorized to prevent it. Q. Had you not heard of the stipulations made to me by Williams & Mead? A. I knew not of Gov. Williams stipulating with you. I heard of Mr. Mead's doing it. Q. Was there no law to arrest me? A. I mentioned to Gov. W. that if the laws were not sufficiently energetic to meet such occurrences, it was better to provide one. But I never saw the law. Q. Did you not hear of an officer being there to arrest me? A. I had a conversation with a Lieut. Peter, who was lately in station with a Lieut. Peter, relative to this subject. The counsel for the prosecution objected to this course of examination.
Chief Justice. If Mr. Burr means to alledge these measures as an excuse for his own military preparations, he may press these enquiries. Mr. Burr. I did suppose from the sort of duty which Mr. Graham discharged in that country, that he must have known of the stipulations of Mead and Williams, and that in direct violation of these, a party of officers in disguise (that is without their uniform) and with concealed weapons, as dirks and pistols, were then to seize me. Mr. Graham certainly knows something on this subject.
Mr. Graham. I can speak of my conversation with Gov. Williams and Lieut. Peter, for with no others did I communicate on this subject. Gov. Williams told me, that a Doctor Carmichael had been authorized to come to the Mississippi territory and seize you; whether this was before or after your trial, I know not. He said that he was extremely unwilling to have any such thing done. I observed that it was extremely improper to suffer a person to be seized who was then in the custody of the law. He said that he had remonstrated with Dr. Carmichael; that Dr. C. had given it up and returned.
Mr. Burr. Did C. belong to the army? A. No; to the Miss. Territory. I was proceeding to state that the night col. Burr left Washington, I heard some of the officers in the room in which I slept conversing about him; and one of them observed that if col. B. was not arrested on that night he would make his escape. The gentlemen left the room, and I afterwards understood from Lt. Peter, that an application had been or was about to be made to Gov. Williams for permission to arrest col. Burr. Lt. Peter having understood that I had heard part of this conversation, informed me that he had come with other officers to arrest col. Burr, and I advised him to do nothing that would violate the laws of his country. He gave me to understand, that at that moment he felt himself bound to obey the orders of his general, like a good soldier. I urged every consideration I could suggest against the exercise of military authority; and I did then understand that it was not his intention to proceed against col. Burr. Indeed I understood that Col. B. had made his escape. I advised Gov. Williams to make such arrangements with him as would send him on to Washington for trial, or to detain him in that territory for trial. (Mr. Graham's testimony to be continued.)

From the Boston Centinel. From the north of Europe no intelligence had been received in London of so late dates as that brought here by captain Foster, who sailed from Elsinore the 15th August, at night. The Danes were making preparations to meet the "tug of war." But our last British papers state, that Mr. Taylor was also in negotiation at Copenhagen, and that the 15th August was given as the last period for Denmark to make her election either for or against England; when in case of neglect to declare in her favor Zealand and the Danish fleet were to be immediately taken possession of by the British forces. Captain Hinckley informs that in the channel he spoke an English frigate, the captain of which informed him he had that morning received orders to detain Danish vessels, and had stopped one.
It was expected that the French would seize upon Holstein immediately after an attack on Zealand; which no doubt they would, had there been no English expedition against Denmark.
American affairs still continued to be the subject of observation in England. Great numbers appeared impressed with the idea, that war with America was necessary to the preservation of their essential maritime rights, and in expectation of the event were preparing the means to make depredations on our commerce. We have before us an elaborate discussion of the subject by a gentleman (Mr. Yorke*) who writes under his own signature, and who is a warm advocate of the present English ministry. He gives the following as 'British Ground,' which, he says, 'would justify Great Britain in directing her arms against the U. States,' &c.
1. War will be necessary if the American government refuse to deliver up on demand the subjects of this country, or the citizens of the United States who have enlisted and afterwards deserted from our service. 2. War will be necessary if America deny us the right of search in the above cases, or for the seizure of contraband of war. 3. War will be moral, if the American government sanction the flagrant perjuries and frauds, and subornations of perjury, practised by its citizens against the rights of Great Britain. 4. Though novel, not less just, war will be necessary and honorable, if America shall resist the policy which we shall forth with adopt, of seizing every American ship entering any of the ports of France, her colonies or allies, and laden with the produce of any other country except America. 5. We ought instantly to declare all the ports of France and her dependencies in a state of blockade; which done I am of opinion that any American vessel or ship of any other country, presuming to enter a French, Dutch, Spanish, or Italian harbor, in defiance of this decree, whether the cargo be the produce of their respective countries or not, ought to be considered as lawful prize to the captors. I do not even except vessels charged with corn or other articles of the first necessity.
These are national principles and the refusal of the Americans to comply with them, would be motives for our going to war, subject however to the expediency of the measure. As Bonaparte is proceeding by violent means to deprive us from all intercourse with the continent, it becomes our duty to employ similar measures to cut him off from all communications by sea, with the rest of the world. This is the only remaining service on which we can employ our navy, and by the vigorous exertion of it we shall be able to carry on against the enemy an offensive and destructive war. Nothing should be too great or too trivial for our ships to undertake. Every fishing boat that sails out of a French port, should be seized with as much avidity as a ship of five hundred tons; even an oyster shell should be captured, if it were capable of bearing a Frenchman upon the water, or of conveying to his country

a blade of corn. The Americans will remonstrate against a system which they will consider as a violation of the rights of neutrals, and a monstrous exercise of power.
We should listen to these remonstrances with respectful attention, but we must continue to take their ships. In a war like the present the magnitude of our dangers will naturally produce a corresponding degree of vigour on our part, and as we are now bound to consider the present struggle as the last grand effort of freedom against tyranny, we ought to bear down every impediment which opposes itself to the exertion of the public strength. The power of vindicating our maritime dominions is in our hands; this is the time to compel its recognition, while none exist capable of disputing it. It may be, at this time sustained with ease, but if we flinch or abandon any portion of it its cession will be irrevocable."
There are other writers, however, who discuss the subject more dispassionately and impartially; while they do not hesitate to condemn the conduct of any neutral power, which screens from justice, or refuses to surrender real British deserters, when properly demanded: they at the same time condemn the wanton conduct of Adm. Berkeley, in assuming the executive government, and committing the peace of the nation by the hostile act he ordered.
It was said, that dispatches from admiral Berkeley, to the 29th July—a month after the outrage on the Chesapeake, had been received in England, and that nothing was wanting but the instructions expected by our ministers in the Revenge, to some decisive measures on the subject.

A letter from London, August 12, 1807, says "Sir John Nichols (the British king's advocate general) has delivered his opinion, that any attempt to search a government ship of one nation by that of another, is a violation of the law of nations."—It adds, "Admiral Berkeley is recalled."
Extract of a letter from an officer at Fort Michilimackinac, to his brother in Hol- lowel dated July 24.
"We are now much on the alert, expecting an attack from the United tribes of Indians north of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi. A great prophet, (impostor, somewhat similar in his conduct hitherto to Mahomet) who pretends he is revived from the dead by the breath of Manitou (great spirit) to reform and unite his red children (the Indians) and to restore them to their ancient energy, customs and independence. It is true that the Indians who hold any intercourse with the whites, readily imbibe all the vices of society, without one of the virtues, and sink into the most degrading debauchery and indolence their ancient energy and innocence. If their reformation was the real object of the new prophet's zeal, it would indeed be laudable. But if I only had time to inclose you a talk in circulation in their councils of chiefs (very artfully obtained from an Indian woman who is attached to a trader in our interest) you would know that war, energetic war on our frontiers, is the sole object.
The poor deluded natives are neglecting their hunting, fishing and planting, and thronging to the scene of inspired legislation with an enthusiasm that is truly astonishing. But the United States are not alone in the possession of demagogues under foreign influence or pay. There are Indian demagogues in Spanish, that is to say Bonaparte's pay; and a few of them paid their homage to him at St. Cloud last summer.
A Mr. Nolen a respectable trader at the falls of St. Mary, the outlet of Lake Superior, has assured us that he accidentally saw in the possession of an Indian chief and missionary, who got intoxicated at his house, a red war club and black wampum belt (never failing forerunners of war) carefully wrapped in a French flag, and precisely similar to those circulated immediately previous to the attacks of the celebrated Pontiac, (See Carver's Travels) I hope it will all blow over, but letters and information has poured in sufficient to convince us that something serious is brewing.

DIED, on Saturday evening, the 3d instant, in the 46th year of his age, MR. EBENEZER POTTER, a respectable merchant of this place. He had sustained for a long course of years the most painful affliction of body with christian-like meekness, and he left this world of trial with the blessed hope of a "good and
faithful servant, about to enter into the joys of his Master. Such we believe he had ever been, with a heart void of guile and a conscience clear of reproach. Pursuing the unambitious tenor of his way, in the paths of social and domestic duties, he lived upright in the fear of God, and in charity with all men—If undeviating moral rectitude, intrinsic benevolence, and worth of character, are not the less pure for being united with the modesty of pious contentment and peaceful innocence, we think it may with truth be said, that there are few better left—we know of none—amongst the sons and daughters of mortality.
