TRIAL
OF COLONEL A. BURR.
(Continued by adjournment and held at the Capitol 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.
The question now to be decided has been argued in a manner worthy of its importance, and with an earnestness evincing the strong conviction felt by the counsel on each side that the law is with them.
A degree of eloquence seldom displayed on any occasion has embellished a solidity of argument and a depth of research by which the court has been greatly aided in forming the opinion it is about to deliver.
The testimony adduced on the part of the United States, to prove the overt act laid in the indictment, having shown, and the attorney for the United States having admitted, that the prisoner was not present when that act, whatever may be its character was committed, and there being no reason to doubt but that he was at a great distance and in a different state, it is objected to the testimony offered on the part of the United States, to connect him with those who committed the overt act, that such testimony is totally irrelevant and therefore must be rejected.
The arguments in support of this motion respect in part the merits of the case as it may be supposed to stand independent of the pleadings, and in part as exhibited by the pleadings.
On the first division of the subject two points are made.
First. That conformably to the constitution of the United States, no man can be convicted of treason who was not present when the war as levied.
Second. That if this construction be erroneous, no testimony can be received to charge one man with the overt acts of others, until those overt acts as laid in the indictment be proved to the satisfaction of the court.
The question which arises on the construction of the constitution in every point of view in which it can be contemplated, is of infinite moment to the people of this country and to their government, and requires the most temperate and most deliberate consideration.
"Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them."
What is the natural import of the words levying of war? and who may be said to levy it? Had their first application to treason been made by our constitution, they would certainly have admitted of some latitude of construction. Taken most literally, they are perhaps of the same import with the words raising or creating war, but as those who join after the commencement are equally the objects of punishment, there would probably be a general admission, that the term also comprehended making war, or carrying on war. In the construction which courts would be required to give these words, it is not improbable that those who should raise, create, make, or carry on war might be comprehended. The various acts which would be considered as coming within the term would be settled by a course of decisions, and it would be affirming boldly to say, that those only who actually constituted a portion of the military force appearing in arms could be considered as levying war. There is no difficulty in affirming that there must be a war or the crime of levying it cannot exist, but there would often be considerable difficulty in affirming that a particular act did or did not involve the person committing it in the guilt and in the fact of levying war. If for example an army should be actually raised for the avowed purpose of carrying on open war against the United States and subverting their government, the point must be weighed very deliberately, before a judge would venture to decide that an overt act of levying war had not been committed by a commissary of purchases, who never saw the army, but who knowing its object and leaguimg himself with the rebels, supplied that army with provisions, or by a recruiting officer holding a commission in the rebel service, who though never in camp executed the particular duty assigned to him.
But the term is not for the first time applied to treason by the constitution of the U. S. It is a technical term. It is used in a very old statute of that country, whose
language is our language, and whose laws form the substratum of our laws. It is scarcely conceivable that the term was not employed by the framers of our constitution in the sense which had been affixed to it by those from whom we borrowed it. So far as the meaning of any terms, particularly terms of art, is completely ascertained, those by whom they are employed must be considered as employing them in that ascertained meaning, unless the contrary be proved by the context. It is therefore reasonable to suppose, unless it be incompatible with other expressions of the constitution, that the term "levying war" is used in that instrument in the same sense in which it was understood in England & in this country, to have been used in the statute of the 25th of Edward, 3d. from which it was borrowed.
It is said that this meaning is to be collected only from adjudged cases. But this position cannot be conceded to the extent in which it is laid down. The superior authority of adjudged cases will never be controverted. But those celebrated elementary writers, who have stated the principles of the law, whose statements have received the common approbation of legal men, are not to be disregarded. Principles laid down by such writers as Coke, Hale, Foster and Blackstone, are not lightly to be rejected. These books are in the hands of every student. Legal opinions are formed upon them, and those opinions are afterwards carried to the bar, the bench and the legislature. In the exposition of terms, therefore, used in instruments of the present day, the definitions and the dicta of those authors, if not contradicted by adjudications, and if compatible with the words of the statute, are entitled to respect. It is to be regretted that they do not shed as much light on this part of the subject as is to be wished.
Coke does not give a complete definition of the term, but puts cases which amount to levying war. "An actual rebellion or insurrection, he says, is a levying of war." In whom? Coke does not say whether in those only who appear in arms, or in all those who take part in the rebellion or insurrection by real open deed.
(To be continued.)
Latest Proceedings.
THURSDAY, September 3.
The chief justice delivered his opinion as to the proper process of an indictment for a misdemeanor of the kind charged against col. Burr; the result of which was, after examining the laws of congress and reviewing all the precedents, that the regular process was a capias.
Col. Burr proposed a reduction of the sum in which he had before given bail to answer to the misdemeanor. He considered his situation as widely different from what it was when the recognizance was first entered into. The verdict of the jury had produced an important change. Added to this there were other circumstances, which he presumed were well known, [supposed to be an allusion to his being in custody upon civil process] which rendered it more difficult for him to procure bail.
The chief justice said that he had always considered the bail in which col. B. was bound to answer the misdemeanor as very high. To bind a man in six times the sum which he would be bound to pay under a judgment of the court, for the offence with which he was charged, especially in a country where excessive bail cannot be required, always appeared to him to be unreasonably high. He therefore proposed the sum of five thousand dollars as sufficient, under the present circumstances of col. Burr. He also mentioned the civil process which was known to have been served upon him.
Much difficulty and desultory argument ensued with respect to the course which should be pursued. The counsel for the prosecution wished to go on with the motion for a commitment with a view to send col. Burr to the place where the overt act was supposed to have been committed. This was opposed by the counsel for col. Burr, who contended that the court was bound to have a decision on the indictment for misdemeanor before he could be transferred to a foreign tribunal. The court seemed to express strong doubts upon this point. At length the chief justice determined that he would proceed upon the trial of the indictment for misdemeanor, to-morrow if col. Burr should be ready.
Colonel Burr was declared by the court to be discharged of the indictment for treason.
General Jonathan Dayton appeared in court; and Mr. Wickham observed that if it was the pleasure of the prosecution to
proceed upon the indictment for treason found against general Dayton, some steps would be necessary preparatory to a trial.
Mr. Hay said that after the decision of the court upon the doctrine of treason, he did not see the propriety of incurring the expense and trouble of a trial; especially as he did not know of any fact charged against him which would amount to treason under that decision. He therefore tho't it the most correct course to enter a nolle prosequi as to that indictment which was accordingly done.
Mr. Wickham then, as attorney for gen. Dayton pleaded not guilty to the indictment for a misdemeanor.
In the course of this day, some observations were made with respect to a letter or letters from general Wilkinson to the president of the U. S. for the production of which a subpena duces tecum had been awarded. Mr. Hay observed that one of them could not be found. If it had been sent to him by Mr. Rodney (as the president informed him he had requested) he had not been able to lay his hands upon it after a very minute examination. Another letter required by colonel Burr was in his possession; but there were certain parts of it which had no bearing upon the case; and which were of a confidential nature, which he could not consent should be exhibited to public view. Several propositions were made by the counsel on both sides as to the manner in which the letter should be given in evidence, without exposing those parts which the counsel for the U. S. deemed confidential; but no definitive arrangements were made.
The court adjourned till to-morrow 12 o'clock.
FRIDAY, September 4.
The proceedings of this day commenced with an application on the part of col. Burr for the production of an original letter from gen. Wilkinson to the president of the United States, dated the 12th of Nov. 1806, and which letter was in the possession of Mr. Hay, the attorney for the U. S.
The president having confided to Mr. Hay the discretion of withholding such parts of the said letter as were of a confidential nature, he refused to exhibit the whole of it in evidence. A writ of subpena duces tecum was thereupon awarded, returnable immediately, commanding Mr. Hay to produce the letter. His return was in the following words:
Mr. Hay's return to the subpena duces tecum .
"I hereby acknowledge service of the above subpena , and herewith return a correct and true copy of the letter mentioned in the same, dated 12th Nov. 1806, excepting such parts thereof as are in my opinion, not material for the purposes of justice, or the defence of the accused, or pertinent to the issue now about to be joined; the parts excepted being confidentially communicated to the president, and he having devolved on me the exercise of that discretion which constitutionally belongs to himself. The accuracy of this opinion I am willing to refer to the judgment of the court, by submitting the original letter to its inspection. I further certify, in order to shew more clearly the irrelevancy of the parts excepted, to any defence which can be set up in the present case, that those parts contain a communication of the writer concerning certain persons; about which opinion, or the fact of his having communicated it, the writer, if a witness before the court, could not legally, as I conceive, be interrogated, and about which no evidence could legally be received from other persons."
GEO. HAY."
The counsel of col. Burr observed that there were two modes of compelling the production of the letter; either an attachment against Mr. Hay, which would be a very unpleasant process, or a motion for a rule "that this prosecution stand & be continued till that letter be deposited with the clerk;" the latter would be resorted to.
This motion produced an animated discussion which was not ended at half an hour past 4 o'clock, when this paper was put to press.
The grounds taken by the counsel on both sides will be detailed in our next.
N. B. A few minutes before 5 o'clock, the Chief Justice decided, that, under the circumstances of this case, it was not in the power of the court to say that the letter should not be produced; that the reasons assigned for withholding it were not sufficient, and that if it were not produced, the court must either take measures to compel a compliance with its process, or continue the cause. With respect to such parts as were deemed confidential, the court would take measures
to prevent their being made public, by providing that no copies should be taken, and that no use was to be made of the letter except in the court, and that those persons who took notes of the proceedings were not to communicate themselves at liberty to publish any part of that letter. He concluded by observing that the production of this letter in court might contribute to remove many of those suggestions as to persons said to be alluded to by gen. Wilkinson, which its suppression would tend to excite.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW YORK, Sept. 7.
John Bateman, a native of Newark, New Jersey, was pressed out of the brig Ulysses, on her passage from this port to Demerara, and is now on board the British frigate Jason, at the quarantine ground, with 13 other impressed Americans.
Captain Cochrane, the commander of the Jason, came up to town on Saturday morning in his barge, accompanied by two officers and eight seamen. While the boat lay in shore six of the seamen jumped out of her, and effected their escape, to the no little astonishment of the remainder of the party.
About 9 o'clock at Saturday morning the pilot boat Brothers, with the customhouse officers on board, was detained by an armed boat from the British brig Columbine, now in the bay, and had the crew examined on pretence of searching for one of the brig's men, who it was said had deserted. He was not found. The Brothers was threatened with being fired at if she should anchor a second time too near the Columbine.
The same brig in the bay fired at, bro't to and boarded one of the gun boats from the eastward, on a similar pretence.
Yesterday afternoon the British frigate Jason, got under weigh from the quarantine ground and dropped down to the Hook.
The Oliver Ellsworth sailed from Liverpool in company with the Sally, which has arrived at Boston; and though our advices from Europe are no later than those detailed in the Mercantile Advertiser of Saturday, yet, having received our regular files of London papers, Lloyd's Lists and prices current to the 17th of July, we are enabled to lay before our readers a variety of very interesting articles which have either escaped the notice of the Boston editors, or could not be admitted for want of room. We have given this day the important 79th bulletin from the French grand army, supposed to have been suppressed, and on that very account a subject of much speculation and enquiry. We have also added the 84th. Our selections will be continued to-morrow.
FRENCH GRAND ARMY.
Seventy-Ninth Bulletin.
Wehlan, June 17.
The action of Spandau and Lomitten, the battle of Gutstadt and Heilsberg, were only the precursors of still more important events.
On the 12th, at four in the morning, the French army entered Heilsberg. General Latour Maubourg pursued the enemy, with his division of dragoons, and generals Durosnel and Wattier's brigade of light cavalry, to the right bank of the Alle, near Bartenstein. In the mean time the light corps advanced in various directions, in order to pass the enemy to cut off his retreat to Koningsberg, and get between him and his magazines. Fortune favored the execution of this plan.
On the 12th, at five o'clock, P. M. the imperial head quarters arrived at Eylau. Here the fields were no longer covered with ice and snow; on the contrary, they presented one of the most beautiful scenes in nature. The country was every where adorned by beautiful woods, intersected by lakes, and animated by handsome villages.
On the 13th, the grand duke of Berg advanced towards Koningsberg with his cavalry—marshal Davoust followed to support him. Marshal Soult advanced towards Creutzburg; marshal Lannes towards Domau; marshals Ney and Mortier towards Lampasch.
Meanwhile general Latour Maubourg wrote that he had pursued the enemy's rear guard; that the Russians had abandoned a great many wounded in their flight; that they had evacuated Bartenstein, and that they had directed their retreat on Schippenheil on the right bank of the Alle.
The emperor immediately proceeded to

wards Friedland. He ordered the grand battery of Berg, marshal Soult & Davoust, to move against Koningsberg, while he advanced with the corps of Ney, Lannes, Mortier, the imperial guard, and the reserve corps, commanded by general Victor, on Friedland. On the 13th, the 9th regiment of Hussars entered Friedland, but was driven out by 3000 of the enemy's cavalry. On the 14th the enemy advanced on the bridge of Friedland, and at three in the morning a cannonade was heard. "It is a fortunate day," said the emperor; "it is the anniversary of the battle of Austerlitz." Marshals Lannes and Mortier were first engaged; they were supported by general Grouchy's dragoons, and by general Nansouty's cuirassiers. Several movements and actions took place. The enemy were unable to pass the village of Postprusen. Imagining that they had only a corps of about 15,000 men opposed to them, they followed the movements of our troops towards Koningsberg; thus the French and Saxon dragoons and cuirassiers had the opportunity of making a flank attack, and taking four pieces of cannon. By five in the evening he several corps were at their appointed stations. Marshal Ney was on the right wing, marshal Lannes in the centre, marshal Mortier on the left wing, the corps of general Victor and the guards formed the reserve. The cavalry under the command of general Grouchy supported the left wing. The division of dragoons of general La Tour Maubourg was behind the right wing as a reserve. General Labousseye's division of dragoons, and the Saxon cuirassiers, formed a reserve for the centre. Meanwhile the enemy deployed the whole wing of his army. His left wing extended to the town of Friedland, and his right wing a mile and a half in the other direction. The emperor having reconnoitered the position, instantly determined to take the town of Friedland. Then suddenly changing his front, and advancing his right, he commenced the attack with the first part of that wing. About half past five marshal Ney began to move forward. Some shots from a battery of twenty cannon were the signal. At the same moment the division of gen. Maudeville advanced sword in hand upon the enemy and proceeded towards the tower of the town, being supported on the left by the division of gen. Bison. When the enemy perceived that marshal Ney had left the wood in which his right wing had been posted, they endeavored to surround him with some regiments of cavalry, and a multitude of Cossacks; but gen. La Tour Maubourg's division of dragoons rode up in full gallop to the right wing, and repelled the attack of the enemy. In the meantime, general Victor erected a battery of 30 cannon in the front of his centre. General Sennarapi, who commanded this battery, pushed his works forward more than 400 paces, and greatly annoyed the enemy. The several manoeuvres they attempted, in order to produce a diversion, were all in vain. Marshal Ney was at the head of his troops directing the smallest manoeuvres with that coolness and intrepidity peculiar to himself, and maintained that example which has always distinguished his corps among the other corps of the grand army. Several columns of the enemy which attacked his right wing were received with the bayonet and driven into the Alle. Thousands found their graves in that river, and some escaped by swimming; meanwhile marshal Ney's left wing reached the Ravilice, which encircles the town of Friedland. The enemy, who had posted the imperial horse & foot guards in ambush there, advanced with great intrepidity and attacked marshal Ney's left, which for a moment wavered; but Dupont's division, which formed the right wing of the reserve, fell upon the Russian imperial guards, defeated them, and made a most dreadful slaughter. The enemy sent forward several other corps from his centre, to defend Friedland; vain efforts: Friedland was forced, and its streets strewn with dead bodies. The centre, commanded by marshal Lannes, was at the same time engaged. The attempts which the enemy had made upon the right wing, being frustrated, he wished to try the effect of similar efforts upon our centre; he was, however, repulsed by the brave divisions of Oudinot and Verdier, and the commanding marshal. The repeated attacks of the enemy's infantry and cavalry were incapable of obstructing the march of our columns, all the
powers and all the courage of the Russians were exerted in vain. Marshal Mortier who during the whole day, had given great proofs of coolness and intrepidity, in supporting the left wing, now advanced, and was in his turn supported by the fuzileers of the guard under the command of general Savary. The cavalry, infantry, and artillery, all on this occasion, generally distinguished themselves. The imperial horse and foot guards, and the two divisions of the first corps, were not in the action. The victory was never for a moment doubtful. The field of battle is horrible to behold. It is not too much to estimate the number of dead on the side of the Russians at from 15 to 18,000. The number of dead on the French side was not five hundred, but we have three thousand wounded. We have taken 80 cannon and a great number of caissons. A great number of standards have also fallen into our hands. There are 25 of the Russian generals either killed wounded or taken. Their cavalry has suffered an in calculable loss. General Drouet, chief of marshal Lannes' corps; general Cohorn; col. Regnaud of the 15th of the line; col. Lajonquiere of the 60th; col. Lamotte, of the 14th dragoons; and brigadier general Bruyere are wounded. General Latour Maubourg is wounded in the hand. Desfourneux, colonel of the artillery; Hutin chief d'Esquadron, and the first aid de camp of gen. Oudinot are killed. Two of the emperor's aids de camp, Mouton and Lacoste, are slightly wounded. Night prevented us from pursuing the enemy; they were followed until eleven o'clock. During the remainder of the night, the cut off columns tried to pass the Alle at several fordable places, and next day we saw caissons, cannon, and harness, every where in the river. The battle of Friedland is worthy to be numbered with those of Marengo, Austerlitz, and Jena. The enemy were numerous, had fine cavalry and fought bravely. Next day the enemy endeavored to assemble on the right bank of the Alle and the Pregel. The emperor had his head quarters in the village of Peterswalde. The enemy having destroyed all the bridges took advantage of that obstacle at day break on the 16th to proceed on their retreat towards Russia. At eight in the morning the emperor threw a bridge across the Pregel, and took a position there with the army. Almost all the magazines which the enemy had on the Alle have been thrown into the river or burnt. Some idea may be formed of the great extent of their loss by what yet remains to us. The Russians had magazines in all the villages, which in their passage they every where burnt. We have however found more than six thousand quintals of corn in Wehlau. Koningsberg was abandoned on the arrival of the intelligence of the battle of Friedland. Marshal Soult has entered that place, where much wealth has been found. We have taken there some hundred thousand quintals of corn, more than 20,000 wounded Russians and Prussians, all the ammunition which England had sent to the Russians, including 160,000 muskets, which had not been landed. Thus has Providence punished those who instead of negotiating with good faith to bring about a salutary peace, treated that object with derision, and regarded the repose taken by the conquerors as a proof of timidity and weakness. The army is now in a delightful country. The banks of the Pregel are rich. In a short time the magazines and cellars of Dantzic and Koningsberg will afford us new resources of superfluity and wealth. The names of the brave men who have distinguished themselves cannot be contained within the limits of one Bulletin. The Staff is employed in collecting their deeds. The prince of Neufchatel gave extraordinary proofs of his zeal and knowledge in the battle of Friedland. He was frequently in the hottest part of the action, and made arrangements which were of great advantage. It was on the 5th the enemy renewed hostilities. Their loss in the ten days which followed their first operations, may be reckoned at 60,000 men, killed, wounded, taken, or otherwise put hors de combat. A part of their artillery, the necessary supply of military stores, and all their magazines, on a line of more than 40 miles, are lost to them. The French army has seldom obtained such great advantages with so little loss. Eighty-Fourth Bulletin. Tilsit, June 24. The marshal of the palace, Duroc, went
on the 24th to the head-quarters of the Russian army, on the other side of the Niemen, to exchange the ratifications of the armistice, which had been ratified by the emperor Alexander. On the 24th prince Labanoff having demanded an audience of the emperor, was admitted on the same day at two in the afternoon; he remained a long time in the cabinet with his majesty. Gen. Kalkreuth is expected at the head-quarters to sign the armistice with the king of Prussia. On the 11th of June, at 4 o'clock in the morning, the Prussians attacked Dreyerwo in great force; gen. Claparede sustained the enemy's fire: marshal Massena rushed along the line, repulsed the enemy, and disconcerted their projects; the 17th regiment of light infantry maintained its regulation; gen. Montbrun distinguished himself; a detachment of the 26th light infantry, and a piquet of the 23d dragoons put the Cossacks to flight. All the enterprizes of the enemy against our posts, on the 11th and 12th inst. turned to their own confusion. It is already seen by the armistice, that the left wing of the French army supports itself on the Curisch Haff, at the mouth of the Niemen, from whence our line extends itself towards Grodno; the right commanded by marshal Massena, reaches to the confines of Russia, between the sources of the Narew and the Bug. The head quarters are about to be removed to Koningsberg, where every day new discoveries are made of provisions, ammunition, and other effects, belonging to the enemy. A position so formidable is the result of success the most brilliant; and while the enemy's army flies, routed and almost destroyed, more than half the French army has not fired a musket.

Alexandria Daily Advertiser. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10. AMERICAN TREATY. We have some reason for believing (says the Times, of July 13) that a former England and America has been received by government. The chief objection that is understood to be made is the right of searching American vessels. Private information has however led us to suppose that this might have been waived on the part of the British government, if the Americans would have suffered English agents to reside in their ports, to see to the bona-fide unloading of the colonial produce of the West-India islands, prior to its being shipped for Europe.
Important from Canada. In a Quebec paper of August 13, we observe a proclamation laying an embargo on all vessels wholly or partly laden with warlike stores of any denomination. The embargo is to continue until Jan. Another proclamation ordains that the Legislative assembly of Lower Canada be convened on the 25th of September, to act upon matters concerning the state and defence of the province. A gentleman from Quebec informs, that the British are busy in clearing the plains before that city; and they have collected there most of the cannon and military stores; and that the troops have lately received their pay to encourage them. Two Vermonters are among the persons confined at Quebec for endeavoring to entice soldiers to desert. [New York paper.]
