TRIAL OF COLONEL A. BURR.
MOTION FOR COMMITMENT.
EXAMINATION OF EVIDENCE.
[CONTINUED.]
FRIDAY, Sept. 25.
Mr. John Graham was again called in at the request of the accused.
Mr. Wickham. You stated something about a communication from Mr. Blennerhassett respecting Mr. Bradford? A I stated that Mr. Bradford was the person who (according to Mr. Blennerhassett) had given him the information respecting the Mexican Association at N. Orleans.
Mr. Burr. Do you know whether it was the practice then to seize on individuals by military authority? A I recollect to have been at Natchez when about sixty persons were arrested on suspicion of being concerned with you.
Mr. Burr. I do not mean so late a period as that. As you were appointed to an office under the government I wish to know whether you as an agent of government would countenance military arrests? A I certainly would not.
SATURDAY, Sept. 26.
Mr. Blennerhassett informed the court that Mr. Dudley Woodbridge, his bail wished to be exonerated from his recognizance. He offered Messrs. John Banks and John Alcock in his stead; who were accepted by the chief justice and accordingly recognized.
Mr. Hay wished to be permitted to read the affidavits of Elias Glover and Hugh Phelps, the first of whom had been discharged by him, after the trial for the misdemeanor was commenced, and the latter had gone away without leave. He observed that he had discharged Mr. Glover on the ground that his evidence applied to the indictment for treason only; that while the trial for misdemeanor was pending it was uncertain whether his testimony would be wanting; because it was uncertain that the motion to commit col. Burr for the purpose of sending him to Kentucky should be made; that he thought it improper to keep Mr. Glover tending upon an uncertainty, and had therefore discharged him.
Mr. Wickham objected to the reading of those affidavits; and observed that col. Burr ought to have had notice of the time and place of taking them.
Mr. Hay thought it proper to mention that the affidavits had been furnished by the witnesses themselves of their own accord.
The chief justice decided that those affidavits were not admissible as evidence.
Mr. John G. Henderson wished to correct an error in his evidence with respect to the time of the second meeting of the people in Wood county. The first meeting was on Monday, and the second on the Saturday following.
General William Eaton, Sworn.
Mr. Hay. We only wish that part of your testimony, Sir, which you have not yet delivered. You recollect that there was a part of it which was excluded by the decision of the court.
Gen. Eaton. I know nothing concerning Blennerhassett and Smith. I have no recollection that their names were mentioned to me till after the prosecution was commenced. All that I know of Burr's project to dismember the union is already before the court. After col. Burr had expressed to me the intended projects already related and overcome my objections, he went so far as to assert that he would erect his standard at the seat of government. Mr. Burr enquired of me, with what officers of the marine corps and navy I was acquainted, I told him with most of them. It is impossible for me at this period to remember distinctly every adverb expressed to me in the course of conversation; but this I perfectly recollect, that if he could gain the marine corps and the naval commanders Truxton, Preble and Decatur, he would turn congress neck and heels out of doors, assassinate the president, or what amounted to that, and declare himself the protector of an energetic government. If that distinct expression was not used (though the impression is strong on my mind, that it was used in the course of conversation) yet he used such expressions as these "hang him," "throw him into the Po-
tomac," "send him to Carter's mountain." Col. Burr proposed to me to endeavour to gain the marine corps, and to squad Preble and Decatur with whom I had been in habits of intimacy but I had not been so with Truxton. A circumstance now recurs to my recollection. He desired me to gain a capt. Davidson, a very brave man and who is as honest as he is brave. Col. Burr seemed to select a Mr. Reynolds, a lieutenant of marines, a handsome and excellent officer, whom he wished to engage. He grew importunate on the subject of the marine corps; and asked me with some eagerness how the marine corps stood. I answered "make yourself easy Sir the marine corps stand as they should stand." Here I beg leave to observe that I never felt myself prepared to insult the honor of either of those gentlemen, by making such propositions to them; and if I had thought them corruptible, I was not yet prepared. I remonstrated with col. Burr on the fallacy of his hopes to engage such men as Truxton, Preble and Decatur in the projects he had conceived, observing that these gentlemen were clothed with well merited honours, independent in their circumstances, and that such were not the materials for a revolution. This Mr. Burr admitted; but observed that they were undoubtedly, like others, conscious of the imbecility of the government: and like all military men, would prefer (I think that was his expression) a government of more energy, where enterprise would be encouraged and merit duly rewarded.
I stated obstacles to the project, then in speculation such as I thought insurmountable. I asserted that it would be impossible to find a party of men in this country, who would support him in projects of so treasonable, and I think I said murderous nature. He observed that he knew better the dispositions of the principal citizens in the United States than I did. He made reference to the political divisions of the people. At this distant moment however I cannot be positive. I recollect to have mentioned to col. Burr that I had lately travelled from one extreme of the union to the other; and though I found a diversity of political sentiment among the people, they appeared united at the most distant aspect of national danger. He again recurred to the weakness and want of energy in the administration and to his own resources; he seemed to make his project meritorious, as he said the degraded situation of our country required more energy in the government; he said that the blow must be struck, and if he struck it at that time and place he would be supported by some of the best blood of America. I observed that one solitary word would destroy him. He asked me what word. I said "USURPER." He smiled at my want of confidence, and quoted examples from ancient and modern history; in which I think were named Julius Cæsar, Cromwell and Bonaparte. Much speculative conversation passed, which I cannot distinctly recollect; but which went to convince me of the unprepared state of the people of these U. States to defend themselves against an energetic blow; which conversation was pretty much closed by this observation of mine, that if he should succeed at the seat of government, his throat would be cut in 6 weeks by Yankee militia.
Cross Examined.
Mr. Baker. At what time was this conversation held? A Between the middle of February and last of March 1806.
Mr. Baker. Cannot you come nearer to the time? A We had frequent conversations. I received various notes from col. Burr requesting to see me. Our conversations were commonly held at the house of Mr. Wheaton, serjeant at arms where Mr. Burr boarded. I frequently dined at that house with gentlemen in congress, and we some times passed an hour or a half before dinner in conversation. We had interviews at other times when the conversation was started.
Mr. Botts. At what particular period was it, Sir, that you first exclaimed against the views of colonel Burr? A As to the time I do not recollect.
Mr. Botts. I mean as to the stage of your communication? A It was when he opened his views to me of overturning the government. But through the whole of our intercourse I used such strong expressions of disapprobation against his plans that col. Burr ought to have been satisfied he had no right to use my name.
Mr. Botts. Was there no particular expression by which you conveyed to him your unwillingness to associate in his plans? A I have already stated to the court that my expressions must have convinced col. Burr that I was not disposed for the enterprise.
Mr. Botts. Was there no particular ob-
jection you made more distinguished than any other by energy of language? A None more so than I have already stated. I did not think it good policy to awaken the suspicions of the col. Q Do you recollect the time when you threw off the mask? A It was when I told him that the people were not prepared for his usurpations, that the very name of usurper would put him down, and although he might calculate upon the weakness of some quarters of the union, yet there was strength in the north which would cut him off. When colonel Burr returned to the subject of dismembering the union, the central project seemed to have been abandoned.
Mr. Wickham. You said that it was not your policy to be more explicit; will you explain what you meant by that observation? A I have already given you an explanation of that before the court and the jury; but I will repeat it. I knew not that Mr. Burr had made communications to any one else, and if I had positively declared that I would oppose him, I doubted whether he would not turn the tables upon me. I had a further view. Had Mr. Burr by means unknown got his outrage committed upon the government into motion, I should have endeavored to be near him. Q Was your conversation about the marine corps before or after throwing off the mask? A I think that it was previous. My memory as to time is not the most accurate. Many things may have escaped my memory; and as it relates to the question of time I cannot be positive on the subject.
Mr. Botts. Did you say that your toasts were printed in a Springfield paper? A I was about to observe with the permission of the court on that subject. I never meant to be positive on that point. I am impressed with the opinion that this toast went through the hands of Stephen Pyncheon of Brimfield, and through him to said paper. The toasts have been given to the public and it is more than probable, I gave it more than once.
Mr. Botts. Who was the printer of the Springfield paper? A I do not at this time recollect his name, though he is among the number of my friends.
Mr. Wickham. Or the title of the paper? A. "The Spy."
Mr. Botts. You have detailed a number of harsh expressions which you used to col. Burr. Did he keep in perfect good temper all this time? A Col. Burr sir, has a powerful command of his muscles. I did not find at all times that they were unruflled. I could read in his countenance some times concern, sometimes solicitude, and some times a disposition to make a trifle of my objections.
Mr. Botts. I think you said that it was generally your purpose not to disclose in your intercourse with col. Burr that you were inimical to his views? A You understood me correctly. Q But that nevertheless his muscles were sometimes rufled? A They were. Q Were your observations then of a nature to ruffle him? A I spoke to col. Burr, sir, with much plainness; and even if I had been cordial in my approbation of his plans, I should have founded my objections that I might have tried his force. I have done the best that I could for my country. I have attempted to exert all my wisdom. It was a painful ground on which I was taken. I took the advice of two intelligent gentlemen (whose names I am at liberty to mention) and they did not think it advisable for me to make a full disclosure to the government, for my solitary communication would not avail against the weight of col. Burr's character; for with all the evidence even now before the world, I still feel the weight of that character.
Mr. Baker. And who were the gentlemen that advised you? A The honorable Samuel Dana and John Cotton Smith.
Mr. Burr. Had we any conversation before the month of January? A It recurs to me as highly probable that I first spoke to you in Philadelphia between the 20th and 24th of December. Q On this subject? A I had a communication with another gentleman at that time, of a very indefinite nature. At Philadelphia, you gave me no distinct nor well-digested ideas of the project, but you spoke of a Spanish war.
Mr. Martin. We must have that gentleman's name. Who was it? A Jonathan Dayton.
Mr. Burr. Had you any expectations or promises of a military command from government? A It is true that the chief clerk in the department of war, tho' in confidential terms asked me whether I would accept of a vacant rank of lieut. col. on the establishment. I answered that I would take no rank on a peace establishment. There were no other overtures to me on this subject, but when there was a pros-
pect of war, you and other men who thought as honorably of as I then thought of you, proposed a command to me near the government asked me if I would take a command under the celebrated Miranda. I asked him if he was authorized by government to make this proposition? He said no. I then observed that the question requires no answer; as I had that too to be a project of darkness, I was determined to know to what it all tended.
Mr. Baker. Who was that man? Dr. Wm. Thornton. I will ask the indulgence of the court to make one observation. It has been asserted by col. B. that it was his intention to disqualify me for the seat which I now occupy. I shall remain here a reasonable time to indulge him in the attempt. It will not avail him. Let him look thro' all the pages of my life; he may find some errors and extravagances there, but he will find neither felony, nor fraud, nor neglect of duty.

NORFOLK, Oct. 9.
Yesterday the Court of Enquiry into the conduct of commodore Barron, met on board the Chesapeake pursuant to adjournment. On account of the indisposition of commodore B. the court adjourned until this day week.
Danish Islands in Blockade.
Captain Tipling of the ship William and Mary, from Grenada, gives us the following information. That being bound from Grenada to St. Thomas, he was brought to off the harbor of the latter island, on the 22d of last month, by a British brig, during the examination of the William and Mary's papers, a tender arrived from Tortola with information for the captain of the brig, who immediately made prize of a Danish schr. then in company and sent her to Tortola.
The captain of the brig marked captain T. not to attempt to enter St. Thomas or any other Danish island as they were in blockade. Being short of provisions captain Tipling wished to get to Porto Rico, but he was informed if he did and was boarded by any of the squadron, he would be made prize of. The commander of the brig would not indorse the ship's papers, stating that the Danish islands were in blockade. All letters were broken open and strictly examined. The brig had "Enterprise of Boston" painted on her stern.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14.
Latest Proceedings.
This important enquiry is at length ap- proaching its crisis. The examination of evi- dence has closed, and the argument commen- ced. On Wednesday the court met at 12 o'clock, and adjourned it an early hour, in consequence of an indisposition in Mr. Witt's family which detained him at home. During the session of the court Dr. John Brockenbrough and Jo- seph Cabell, Esq. two of the grand jurors, were examined as to certain points of general Wilkinson's evidence delivered to the grand jury. On Thursday, Mr. Bodley was again called in at the instance of the prosecution to answer certain enquiries relative to col. Burr's con- nect with col. Lynch - He was followed by Gen. Wilkinson, who made certain explana- tions contradictory to major Bruff's state- ments; among which gen. W. particularly traced the nature of his connection with col. Burr during late years. He also propounded a variety of questions to major Bruff. Here the evidence on both sides closed; excepting one or two witnesses who are avowedly ex- pected by both sides. The counsel for the U. S. expect lieut. Jackson of the Chickasaw Bluffs: The accused have not avowed the names of the witness or witnesses whom they avowedly expect. Mr. Hay then opened the argument the half after two, and continued speaking till af- ter 4. Yesterday Mr. Hay resumed his argument and continued till twelve.

A letter, under date of Sept. 9th, from Aux Cayes, in the island of St. Domingo, informs that gen. Yayou, who served un- der Pétion, but who formerly conspired against him, and lately attempted to bribe the soldiers to go over to Christophe, had been put to death by his own troops; and that gen. Lamarre beat Christophe, and to all probability he will be taken pri- soner, when it is supposed peace will be restored. Particulars of the loss of the brig Hiram James Church master, of Wilmington N. Carolina. We sailed from Kingston, Jamaica, on the 1st of Sept. for Wilmington N. C. with a favorable breeze from E S E but thick, hazy weather. On Thursday the 3d, the wind veered more southerly, and increased considerably, accompanied with small rain and dark disagreeable weather, which ren- dered it impossible to procure an observa- tion; this weather continuing and gale in- creasing, we were carried by stress of wea- ther between Isle of Pines & cape Corrientes Sunday morning about 4 A. M. at which time the vessel struck on the W. end of the Banco and stranded. When we dis- covered that every exertion to get her off would prove ineffectual, and a very heavy sea breaking over the vessel, it was thought advisable to endeavour to reach the shore as soon as possible, which was about a mile distant, and at the same time to secure a boat in specie, which was on board, practicable, after much trouble we suc- ceeded in getting the money on board the boat, in which I entered with the first and four hands, and fortunately land- ed about ten o'clock in the morning. - The boat returned twice afterwards in the day, and procured such articles as were
necessary for our sustenance, and such ma- terials as would be useful in case of de- parting from the island in the boat and bringing with them the remainder of the crew. On Friday the 11th September owing to the misconduct of two of my seamen (Tho- mas Burton and James M'Millan) who en- deavoured by their persuasive arguments to contaminate the remainder of the crew by advising a coalition to rob me of the 3000 dols. I became fearful that some evil consequences would ensue, and advised Mr. J. Austin, 1st officer and Mr. Henry Staples, 2d officer to depart with these 2 men and 2 others for the main land of the island of Cuba, which they did in the small boat the same day.
On Monday the 13th, the small boat not having returned, I was apprehensive that they had been detained, or that they had collected a number of the inhabitants to return with them and deprive me of the money, and very probably of my life, I therefore hastily resolved to equip the long boat as well as time and circumstances would admit of, placed the money and some articles which I judged to be of ser- vice to me on board and departed from Key Blanco, entrusting myself and proper- ty, as well as the property of owners, to the protection of Divine Providence, with a mulatto boy of nineteen years of age, & a young lad, ten years old, leaving on the Key, four persons; captain Owen Calhoun, passenger, Henry Miller, Gerard Bryant, and Ambrose Croach seaman, who under the supposition of the return of the small boat the ensuing morning consented to re- main. After being at the mercy of the the wind and waves for three days in the long boat, and seeing several sail of ves- sels, none of which paid any attention to us judging, (as we supposed) us to be a privateer. We fell in with the brig Syren capt. Sulger for Philadelphia, from King- ston bound to that port, in lat. 22, 18, Cape Antonio bearing S. W. about 14 leagues distant, who offered me every assistance in his power, by taking every article out of the long boat, and receiving me with the greatest cordiality on board. Owing to the boat being cumbersome, sent her adrift and proceeded on our voyage.

In a severe gale of wind, in 65 degrees 30 minutes West longitude and 26, 33, North latitude, she had her sails blown to rags, lost her bowsprit, and sprung a leak. - Previous to the commencement of the gale, she saw a schooner to windward, supposed to be the Fredericksburg, of Fredericks- burg, bound to Point-a-Petre. During the gale, in 64, 30, West longitude, spoke the schooner Eliza, bound to Guadalupe, who had picked up a few barrels supposed to have belonged to the Fredericksburg, and capt. Sickles, from the quantity of wrecks he saw floating, concluded that that vessel must have been unfortunately lost in the gale and all hands perished.

The following account of the last ariel excur- sion of M. BLANCHARD, is copied from a late Dutch paper.
THE 61st air voyage of the famous Mr. Blanchard, being the 11th of his lady, was performed the 3d of August near Rotterdam. Though every prospect appeared very favor- able for the intended voyage, yet it was dis-
turbed by an unfortunate accident. A quar- ter after 6 o'clock, the beginning was made with filling the Montgolfiere, and before half past 7 o'clock the balloon was perfectly ready and left the ground; but unfortunately took hold by an iron wire, on which it before had been fastened, loosened itself violently, and received a large rift, which occasioned the fly- ing off the balloon against a large tree, and thereby got an opening. Nevertheless the voyage would have been crowned with suc- cess, had not the balloon in rising into the air been encountered by a whirlwind, which bro't the gallery into disorder and enlarged the o- pening.
This ever before fortunate air traveller now fell out of the balloon, first upon the top of a house, and from thence on the ground, by which he received a large contusion on his head, but is, however in a state of recovery.
It appeared Madame Blanchard would have escaped better by falling on some trees, but the agitation of seeing the descension of her husband, made such an impression upon her organs of speech, that she is now in a kind of dumb and lifeless state.
SINGULAR DUEL.
We learn from undoubted authority, that some time since, while the British frigate Jason was at Trinidad, a duel was fought on board of her between two mulat- to girls, one named Grace, a servant to madam Villeneut, and Miss Charlotte. - The latter was killed on the spot, and miss Grace was slightly wounded in her right shoulder. The lieutenant who had the command of the quarter deck, was broke for suffering fire-arms to be put into their hands. The battle between them com- menced by pulling caps; but was actually terminated as here stated.

NEW ORLEANS, JUNE 26.
To the Editor of the Louisiana Gazette. Sir.
WE are so accustomed in our own free and happy country to suppose the citizens and subjects of all other governments, to be slaves, and their lives and property very insecure, that I entertain very little doubt but your readers will be much struck with surprize as I was myself on perusing the following account of the conduct of a Bri- tish judge in India where it might be ex- pected there would be found less independ- ence than on the banks of the Mississippi.
I hope, should unfortunately an occa- sion ever again occur in this country, that not only the judges, but the people also will learn what is due to them, and teach all usurpers of their rights, a dreadful but salutary lesson.

SIR HENRY GWILLIM.
A very curious and interesting circum- stance occurred some time ago, which has made great noise all over India. On the trial of col. Mandeville, a native, it was discovered, had grossly perjured himself, and afterwards absconded. This was stat- ed by the colonel to the supreme court, and in consequence a warrant was issued to apprehend the native, and the colonel taken under the protection of the court, to prevent his being sent to England till the affair had undergone further investigation. In the month of October last an Indian was ready to sail for England. In the even- ing before she was to sail, a guard of soldiers went to the house of col. Mande- ville, in the Black town, seized and forci- bly conducted him to the beach, put him on board a Masula boat, and carried him on board the ship, without allowing him to carry with him necessaries of any kind.
An account of this transaction reached sir Henry Gwillim, acting as the chief judge in the absence of Sir Thos. Strange, who was then at Colombo, who instantly with a generous intrepidity, applied for the colonel's release and restoration to the protection of the court. He sent a writ of habeas corpus on board the ship, to which proper attention was paid, and the colonel was permitted to land although several shot were fired at the ship from the fort to make her sail, and at the boat carry- ing off the writ. Guards of soldiers were placed on the beach to intercept the col. but he landing to the southward of the fort escaped their vigilance, and was conducted to the house of Sir Henry Gwillim, soon after which a party of military appeared be- fore the house, forcibly entered sir Henry's garden, and peremptorily demanded the bo- dy of the col.
Sir Henry, who possesses all the virtu- ous intrepidity which a British judge ought to have, dared the officer to touch col. Man- deville, threatened to commit him and his guard, and at length dismissed them with- out their object being attained. A very ac- tive correspondence took place between the government and the supreme court; the result of which was that the former offered in vain to make an apology for the outrage
committed against the laws. In the mean time, sir Thomas Strange returned to Ma- drass, col. Mandeville's person was render- ed sacred, and he returned to his dwell- ing in the Black town. At the next ses- sions which were held, bills of indictment by the grand Jury were found against the town major, the Black Town mayor, the officers who commanded the party, and 2 or 3 others concerned in firing the guns at the boat and ship.
These persons all surrendered themselves, and pleaded guilty, except the town-major, who did not appear. This was on Saturday. Sir Thomas Strange declared, that if he did not surrender himself by Monday, the law would be put in force against him: that is, that he would be outlawed. On the Monday, however, he surrendered himself, was placed at the bar and like the others pleaded guilty. The court having thus established the sup- remacy of the law, was satisfied with imposing fine of one hundred pounds, and dismissed the offend- ing parties with an admonition which they will probably long remember; and thus ended this extraordinary affair. Lord Clive was at the time it happened at Enmore, so that the whole responsibility of the transaction rested principally upon the town-major. The con- duct of the judges upon the occasion, has ex- cited the admiration and applause of all our settlements in India.

He had a wife at col. Jennesson'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.
