He had a wife at Col. Jem- merson's, in the county of Caroline, and may perhaps now be lurking in that neighborhood, but I think it more probable he may have gone to the state of Maryland.

TRIAL
OF COLONEL A. BURR.
(Continued by adjournment and held at the Capital in the Hall of the house of Delegates, for High Treason against the U. States.)
OPINION
Of the Court on the motion to arrest the evidence. Delivered on
MONDAY, August 31.
[CONTINUED.]
The first expression in it bearing on the present question is "To constitute that specific crime for which the prisoner now before the court has been committed, war must be actually levied against the U. S. However flagitious may be the crime of conspiracy to subvert by force the government of our country, such conspiracy is not treason. To conspire to levy war and actually to levy war, are distinct offences. The first must be brought into operation by the assemblage of men for a purpose treasonable in itself, or the fact of levying war cannot have been committed."
Although it is not expressly stated that the assemblage of men for the purpose of carrying into operation the treasonable intent, which will amount to levying war, must be an assemblage in force, yet it is fairly to be inferred from the context, and nothing like dispensing with force appears in this paragraph. The expressions are, "to constitute the crime war must be actually levied." A conspiracy to levy war is spoken of as "a conspiracy to subvert by force the government of our country," speaking in general terms of an assemblage of men for this, or for any other purpose, a person would naturally be understood as speaking of an assemblage in some degree adapted to the purpose. An assemblage to subvert by force the government of our country, and amounting to a levying of war, should be an assemblage in force.
In a subsequent paragraph the court says "it is not the intention of the court to say, that no individual can be guilty of this crime who has not appeared in arms against his country. On the contrary if war be actually levied, that is, if a body of men be actually assembled in order to effect by force a treasonable purpose, all those who perform any part, however minute, &c. & who are actually leagued in the general conspiracy, are traitors. But there must be an actual assemblage of men for the treasonable purpose to constitute a levying of war."
The observations made on the preceding paragraph apply to this. "A body of men actually assembled, in order to effect by force a treasonable purpose," must be a body assembled with such appearance of force as would warrant the opinion that they were assembled for the particular purpose; an assemblage to constitute an actual levying of war should be an assemblage with such appearance of force as would justify the opinion that they met for the purpose.
This explanation, which is believed to be the natural, certainly not a strained explanation of the words, derives some additional aid from the terms in which the paragraph last quoted, commences. "It is not the intention of the court to say that no individual can be guilty of treason who has not appeared in arms against his country." These words seem to obviate an inference which might otherwise have been drawn from the preceding paragraph. They indicate that in the mind of the court the assemblage stated in that paragraph was an assemblage in arms. That the individuals who composed it had appeared in arms against their country. That is in other words that the assemblage was a military warlike assemblage.
The succeeding paragraph in the opinion relates to a conspiracy and serves to shew that force and violence were in the mind of the court, and that there was no idea of extending the crime of treason by construction beyond the constitutional definition which had been given of it.
Returning to the case actually before the court, it is said "a design to overturn the government of the United States in New Orleans by force, would have been unquestionably a design which if carried into effect would amount to levying of war against the U. S."
Now what could reasonably be said to be an assemblage of a body of men for the purpose of overturning the government of the United States in New Orleans by force? Certainly an assemblage in force; an assemblage prepared and intending to
act with force; a military assemblage. The decisions therefore made by the judges of the United States, are then declared to be in conformity with the principles laid down by the supreme court. Is this declaration compatible with the idea of departing from those opinions on a point within the contemplation of the court?—The opinions of judge Patterson and judge Iredell are said "to imply an actual assemblage of men though they rather designed to remark on the purpose to which the force was to be applied, than on the nature of the force itself." This observation certainly indicates that the necessity of an assemblage of men was the particular point the court meant to establish, and that the idea of force was never separated from this assemblage.
(To be continued.)
Latest Proceedings.
Wednesday September 9.
[CONTINUED.]
After Peter Taylor had delivered his testimony, Morris B. Belknap was called in and sworn. The reader will recollect that Mr. Belknap was one of those witnesses who were examined on the trial for treason; but that his testimony on that occasion was confined to the overt act on the island, where he had not arrived before 8 or 9 o'clock on the night on which the expedition had descended the river. His testimony was therefore necessarily short, and perfectly distinct from the evidence which he gave on the present occasion.
Mr. Burr observed that the gentlemen, were about to depart from their usual method of introducing the evidence. They were now going from the island.
Some desultory conversation ensued when Mr. Hay observed he wished to prove by Mr. Belknap that he had conveyed a letter from col. Burr to the party on the island, which had produced their precipitate departure. If he was not mistaken this was at least one great point in Mr. Belknap's testimony, and it would necessarily prove how much the party on the island were under the direction and agency of the accused.
Mr. Burr observed that if they were to shew his acts done without the district of Virginia, he should object to it; that the whole of the testimony exhibited on the former case should be gone through; and to save the time of the court that the whole of it might be read from the judge's notes, but now it seemed they were proceeding to an enumeration of those acts which were done out of the district. He should also protest against the right, which gentlemen were about to assume, of bringing the acts and sayings of other people at any time and place, as evidence against himself.
Mr. Hay wished to prove by Mr. Belknap an act that was done, it is true, without the district of Virginia; but was consummated in that district. He wished to prove that Mr. Burr had apprised the party in the island of his own apprehensions, that he had conveyed his dispatches by Mr. Belknap, and that they had produced the precipitate departure of his men.
Mr. Burr. I will permit the gentlemen to go on with Mr. Belknap's testimony although it is not right to produce it, because I am satisfied that Mr. B. is incapable of proving any such circumstance as they relate.
Morris B. Belknap.
Mr. Hay. Were you not on the island on the night of Blannerhasset's departure? A. I was; on the night of the 10th of December. Mr. Hay. State the cause and consequences of your going.
Mr. Belknap. I had been employed by Mr. Blannerhasset to carry a letter to John Jourdan at Lexington, Kentucky. [Mr. Hay. Jourdan there.] In that letter was one enclosed for col. Burr. Some time previous to his asking me to go to Lexington, I had stated to him in conversation that certain rumors were afloat calculated to shew the unlawfulness of his expedition. He declared to me that his expedition was not unlawful, and he read to me this letter addressed to col. Burr. I do not particularly recollect the contents of this letter, but this was the substance of it: He congratulates col. B. on his acquittal in Kentucky, and that the grand jury did not find a bill against him; he mentioned the state of the boats building on the Muskingum, tho' I do not particularly recollect what he said about them. (Q. At what time was this? A. About the middle of Nov. 1806.) He likewise mentioned the quantity of provisions that he should probably have to take down the river with him; I particularly recollect corn meal, as one of the articles. He
mentioned that he should probably take his family down with him. The letter was long, and occupied about 2 pages of common paper. I delivered to Mr. Jourdan the letter addressed to him. He broke the seal and requested me to carry the enclosure to col. Burr at Frankfort. I did carry it to Frankfort and deliver it to col. Burr. I returned then to the island, and took back with me a letter from col. Burr to Blannerhasset. Mr. Burr before he closed his letter handed it to me. I read a part of it; but as I was somewhat puzzled to make out the writing, I asked him for an explanation of a word. He took the letter, and read the whole, as I supposed, to me. The substance was, that he thanked Mr. Blannerhasset for the exertions which he had used to put the boats in a state of preparation. He stated, that he should probably leave that place in 8 days for Nashville. He said, that he should probably go down the river before Mr. Blannerhasset; that he was glad that his family was going down; and that he would procure a place for them at Natchez or New Orleans, till they could be better accommodated on the Ouachita. He told him to make all possible speed, as the probability was, that the river would close up.
[Mr. Belknap's examination to be continued.]
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW YORK, Sept. 12.
Latest from Europe.
The recent arrivals at this port from England have furnished us with regular files of almost all the papers printed in London. They afford a great mass of interesting political intelligence. The following articles are in continuation of our selections of Saturday:
LONDON, August 4.
The letters from Holland state that the new code of restrictive laws against the English commerce, was immediately to be distributed, and enforced with all possible rigor.
Many of the letters received yesterday from St. Petersburg, indicate a strong probability of the departure of many of the English merchants residing there for Great Britain; they add, that the commercial treaty has been enlarged for 3 days only; this was done on the 28th of June, to continue to the first of July.
August 5.
The difference with America, with respect to the late conflict, we are happy to learn, is in a fair way of adjustment. Our ministers, in their conferences with the American ambassador, have not insisted on the right of searching ships of war. This point being surrendered, we trust that the transaction will be soon buried in oblivion.
August 6.
Sir James Craig is to go as chief governor of British America.
August 7.
A strong sensation of dread relative to our future communication with Portugal pervades the public mind. We think it very probable that the French emperor intends to take measures to cramp the lucrative branch of commerce which we carry on to the Tagus. Nay, it is not unlikely that the Portuguese government has received an intimation to that effect, which, although not publicly known, they have been transmitted to our ministers, and occasioned those vague reports on the subject that are now so general.
August 8.
No intelligence has as yet been received from the expedition.
All the taxes which subsisted under the ancient regime in France, have been revived, and augmented to a degree almost intolerable to the subject. The new impost on salt (gabelle) has raised the value of that necessary commodity five-pence half penny English per pound. The gross annual amount of revenue collected, is computed at 800 millions of francs, upwards of 33 millions sterling.
August 8.
In the house of commons, last night, Mr. Whitebread suggested the propriety of short adjournments in the present critical state of the country. He was answered by the chancellor of the exchequer, who declared, explicitly, that it was intended to prorogue parliament as soon as the public business should be disposed of.
The funds continue to decline. Omni-um left off yesterday at 1 1-4 discount.
A letter from Dundee, dated on Saturday last, says, "Seven vessels have arrived this day from the Baltic, the captains of which agree in stating, that there is not
the smallest appearance of hostilities against this country in the Sound or in the Baltic, the Danish fleet is not so much rigged."
From the French Papers.
PARIS July 23. Since the conclusion of the pacific convention at Tilsit, the interrupted series of army bulletins has been renewed. The first inserted in the official paper of the day is as follows.
Eighty Seventh Bulletin of the French Grand Army.
The emperors of France and Russia after twenty five days residence at Tilsit where the imperial palaces were in the same street, and at no great distance, to leave of each other with the greatest cordiality, and at three o'clock in the afternoon of the 9th. The journal that contains an account of what happened between them will be very interesting to both nations.
A half past four the emperor Napoleon on having received a visit from the king of Prussia who came to take his leave, went out for Koningsberg, where he arrived at ten at night. The king of Prussia went to Memel.
Yesterday the emperor Napoleon inspected the ports of Koningsberg, in a boat manned by the imperial guards. To day his majesty will review marshal Soult's corps, and at two o'clock to-morrow he will set out for Iresden.
The number of Russians killed in the battle of Friedland amounts to 17,500, the prisoners to forty thousand; 18,000 of whom passed through Koningsberg, 7,000 remain sick in the hospitals, and the rest have been conducted to Thorn and Warsaw. Orders have been issued to send them home to Russia without delay, seven thousand have returned again to Koningsberg. Those in France are to be formed into provisional regiments. The emperor has ordered them to be clothed and armed.
The ratifications of the treaty of peace between France and Russia were exchanged at Tilsit on the 9th. The ratification of the treaty of peace between France and Prussia, will be exchanged here this day.
The plenipotentiaries charged with these negotiations were, on the part of France, the prince of Benevento; princes Kurakin and Labanoff, on the part of Russia; on the part of Prussia, field marshal Kalwreuth and the count de Grotz.
After such events as these one cannot but smile when the great English expedition is mentioned, & the new treaty which animates the king of Sweden. Besides we may remark that the army of observation between the Elbe and the Oder is seven thousand strong, exclusive of the great army, without including the Spanish division, which are now upon the Oder also. It was therefore necessary for England to bring her whole force together, her soldiers, her volunteers, fencibles, &c. in order to have made a diversion of any interest. But when we take into our account that England under the present circumstances, has sent eight thousand men to Egypt only to be slaughtered by the Arabians, and seven thousand men to the Spanish West Indies, we can alone feel sentiments of pity for the extravagant avarice with which that cabinet is tormented.
The peace of Tilsit puts an end to the operations of the army; notwithstanding this, all the Prussian coasts and ports will be shut against the English and it is probable that the continental blockade will not prove a mere sound.
The Porte is included in the treaty. The revolution which lately occurred at Constantinople, was the anti-christian revolution which has nothing in common with the policy of Europe.
The adjutant commandant Guillemain is gone to Bessarabia, where he will communicate to the grand vizier the intelligence of the peace, and the liberty given to the Porte to take part in it, as well as of the conditions of the treaty in which the Porte is interested.
Naples, July 9.
One Augustin Mosca, calling himself a col. in the service of king Ferdinand, convicted of having received from queen Caroline, and the marchioness of Villa Trone, an order to assassinate the king of Naples, and also of having received instructions to that effect from the Abbe Scagliotti, &c. has been condemned, on the 1st of this month, by a military commission to make the amende honorable, before the church of the New Jesus in a red skirt, with a lighted torch in his hand, and

from thence to be conducted to the market place, to be impaled upon a stake, there to be delivered to the flames, and his ashes to be thrown to the wind. This sentence in conformity with our ancient criminal jurisprudence, was yesterday carried into execution, in the midst of an immense crowd of spectators.
TÖNNINGEN, July 26.
We have just learned that Bernadotte is gone on an important mission to Copenhagen. Great apprehensions have been entertained for the fate of Holstein, the garrison of Flensburgh having been greatly augmented, from 15 to 18 000 men; the greater part of which are now, however, on their march towards Holstein.
