FROM THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER.
TRIAL
OF
COLONEL A. BURR.
MOTION FOR COMMITMENT.
EXAMINATION OF EVIDENCE.
MONDAY, October 5.
[Silas Dinsmore's evidence concluded.]
Col. Burr. Did gen Wilkinson offer you a reward for apprehending me? A I think four or five thousand dollars were offered on behalf of the government. q When was that offer made? A Some time in December last. q Did you undertake to effect it? A I did, as far as was practicable and expedient. q Was that offer predicated on an order of the government, or was it the fiat of the general? A I do not know. q Did he satisfy you that he had authority for making the offer? A I think he did. q When did you leave New Orleans? On the morning of the 9th or 10th of December.
Mr. Baker. When was the offer made? A Just about that time.
Colonel Burr. Did you send an order to the Choctaws to take me? A I carried myself the proclamation of governor Williams to the Upper Choctaws, and employed runners to carry proclamations, with instructions to intersect the paths in every direction, and wrote to the agent in the Chickasaw nation to the same effect.
Mr. Wirt. What do you mean by saying that you undertook to arrest colonel Burr as far as was expedient? A I meant that if I should have found him at large, I should have taken him, but not out of the hands of the civil authority. q Were there not officers sent up to take him? A Yes, and I was instructed to co-operate with them; but he being exactly where general Wilkinson wished him, in the hands of the civil authority, I advised the officers to return, and they separated.
Colonel Burr. Were you to seize me privately? A Yes; if practicable. Colonel Burr. Was I not reputed to be at the head of an army by general Wilkinson? Yes; and by others too. Colonel Burr. How then were these men to take me! Colonel Burr. When were those officers sent? A I can inform you when I first saw them, which was on the first of February. Colonel Burr. Of the orders of the officers you know nothing? A Only what I saw, an order from commadore Shaw to lieutenant Jones to receive you. Colonel Burr. You said the officers returned on your advice; did you see them retire; or do you know when they left that part of the country. Had they separated before I left the town of Washington? A I cannot tell when you left there, but the last time I saw them was on the 5th of February at Natchez.
Colonel Burr to commadore Shaw. I understood that you received orders from general Wilkinson? Were these orders from the government? A I think they were the result of an arrangement between governor Claiborne and general Wilkinson. I did not know at that time, that I was subject to the orders of general Wilkinson; but always understood that I was to co-operate with him. I considered that as governor Claiborne took the responsibility I was to co-operate, and that the orders were given conjointly with gen. Wilkinson.
Colonel Burr to Mr. Dinsmore. Did gen. Wilkinson express any doubts of the militia? A He expressed no doubts of the creoles; but he doubted the incongruous group which constituted the citizens of New Orleans. Colonel Burr. Did he doubt the civil authorities? A He did entertain doubts of the judges.
Mr. Martin. Did he express any doubts of governor Claiborne? A He had no doubt of the integrity of governor Claiborne and of his attachment to the government. He said they had at one time been on such terms as not to act together, but he was in hopes they would unite. Mr. Martin. Did he doubt governor Meade? A Yes; because he did not co-operate with the general, and refused to furnish his quota of men.
Mr. Hay. Did general Wilkinson doubt the patriotism of governor Claiborne? A He was far from doubting his patriotism, but said he wanted firmness.
Mr. Martin. Did he doubt James Brown? [Mr. Wirt objected to such a course of interrogation, as indelicate and improper. Mr. Martin defended it on the ground, that, from the conduct of general Wilkinson, it would seem that men even high in authority could not be trusted.]
WOOD.
A LARGE quantity of Wood will be laid off in the Forest of Washington on the Leesburgh road, and arranged in lots to suit purchasers.
Also—A small tract of Land for sale at the same place.
Those desirous of supplying themselves with fire-wood, posts, rails, &c. will please make application within 10 days from this date to

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, November 9.
DEBATE on MR. G. W. CAMPBELL's motion to fill up the bill on the naval establishment.
(CONTINUED.)
Mr. Fisk said, that the bill before the house went to provide for two objects; the one, authorised by law, to wit, the increase of the corps; the other authorised the procuring the timber and purchase of ordnance, &c. The secretary of the navy told them, in his communication and in his letter to the committee of ways and means, that they had no stock of these articles on hand; and that salt-petre was wanting, and was then purchased at the lowest price; timber also had been procured, which was in the highest degree necessary for the defence of our ports and harbors. It would not be doubted but the president had a right to make these provisions; he should have thought him deficient in duty if he hadn't done it. The president had thought it advantageous to lay in these stores, from the aspect of the times: it simply rested with the house to say whether this appropriation should be made or withheld. If in paying this money or appropriating it, any fault had been committed by the officers of government, if they had exceeded or violated their trusts, it would be time enough to enquire into it when it came properly before the house.
The gentleman from Virginia considered these doctrines as anti republican; whether this were the case or not, the example had been set before. There was a case on record which would justify them. He alluded to a bill passed the first session of the ninth congress.
He thought it therefore very immaterial whether money had been paid out of monies not appropriated, or out of monies otherwise appropriated. It was conceived that congress would justify the act by an actual appropriation. The only part of the expenditure which the house could object to, was that which related to salt-petre and naval stores; and he conceived these had been purchased with a due regard to the interest of the country.
Mr. G. W. Campbell, regretted very much that the gentleman from Virginia had either misunderstood him, or had mistated what had fallen from him. What he had said was this, and this only: that there might be a case which would authorize the application of money destined for one purpose to another; he was not prepared to say that this was such a case, but that such a case might happen. He felt surprised that these doctrines were stigmatized as anti-republican or federal, and that it had been said they were playing a game of political roundabout; the expression was not surely meant to convey an idea that they were now advocating a doctrine which they had once opposed? He had said that it was unnecessary to enquire whether these sums were paid or not; he had not said it was immaterial whence they had been drawn, if they were paid. He appealed to the chairman and to the house if these were not the expressions he had used. He thought that the exigency would warrant the purchase of these materials; the president had told them these were extraordinary expenditures: hence he could not see how this question involved the principle of applying money destined for one purpose to another.
He felt as much reluctance to vote for large naval appropriations as the gentleman from Virginia; he never had been in favor of them, nor ever should be. He conceived that if anything should authorise such expenditures this outrage did; and if the president had neglected to put the nation in a state of defence, the people would have reason to complain of the inefficiency of the government; it was the duty of the president to adopt such measures as would have been authorized by congress had they been sitting at that time.
The question now was whether the house would sanction these expenditures or not: whether the exigency of the case would justify them? He had not expected that objections would have been made to the details of the bill, or that it would have become a question whether the money was actually paid by the secretary of the navy or not.
Mr. Quincy said, that the question he had asked was so simple and direct that he could not see how the chairman of the committee of ways and means or any other member could have mistaken it. These articles had been purchased three months ago; was it not clear that there was interest
due on the purchase; how was it to be paid? If no interest was due, where was the specific appropriation to pay it? He asked these questions for information, not with a design to create difficulty. As to the passage quoted by the gentleman from Vermont, with a design to show the similarity of the proposed measure to one formerly adopted, that was an expense authorised by law, but which was not sufficient to cover the whole expenditure; this was an expenditure which had not been authorised.
Mr. Randolph said, if the gentleman from Tennessee had not before played a roundabout game, he appeared now to have done it. The gentleman might explain away what he had said, but he did not make his argument different from what he had understood it.
He thanked the gentleman from Vermont (Mr. Fisk) for having referred him to a former report of the committee of ways and means, in which he, as chairman of that committee, made a similar application to the secretary of the navy for information to that now recommended, & to which a definite answer was given. He supposed the gentleman by quoting only part of the report, did not mean to garble it. [Mr. R. read the letter which he wrote to the secretary for information, and his reply.] Mr. R. said at that session he reprimended the conduct of that officer, and in this very particular.
Mr. R. certainly understood the gentleman from Tennessee to say, that it did not matter whether the secretary of the navy had paid for the extraordinary supplies in question in bank notes or specie, or whether they were paid for at all. Now he was of opinion that it did matter very materially. He reminded the gentleman that he did not appear in opposition on this occasion, he came into the house without knowing what question was before it. He was told the question was for the committee to rise; but he had heard doctrines delivered subversive of opinions which he and the republicans with whom he had acted, had always considered sacred. But he was not advocating principles which the gentleman from Tennessee had opposed. He never recollected to have seen him in opposition; he meant to cast no such imputation upon him. Mr. R. said he did not mean to oppose the present appropriation; for though he should do it reluctantly, he meant to vote in favour of it. But he felt the same reluctance in giving this vote, that he should feel in paying a gambling debt to a swindler. He considered the navy of the U.S. disgraced, and he felt the same kind of reluctance in appropriating money for its support, which a master felt at paying the expenses of an unprofitable and disgraced servant.
[Debate to be continued.]
Mr. Randolph was followed by Messrs. Smith, Daws, Newton, and G. W. Campbell; when Messrs. Randolph and Smith again spoke.
The committee then rose and reported the bill, which was ordered to a third reading to morrow.
The continuation of the debate partook of the same character with that part given, and was not directed so much to the passage of the bill, as to incidental points which derived importance from their implicating the measures taken in relation to the outrage on the Chesapeake, as well as from containing an expression of opinion on the outrage itself.
TUESDAY, Nov. 10.
Mr. Gardenier presented the petition of Abraham Gale, of the state of N. Hampshire, stating that on a settlement of accounts between him and the United States, in 1776 he received a certificate of the balance due to him, which certificate he had lost, and praying relief. Referred to the committee of claims.
Mr. Van Horn presented a petition from sundry inhabitants of the city of Washington, representing that a law had been passed by congress enabling them to open a canal, which was to have been completed in five years; that sufficient subscriptions were not obtained within the time allowed by law, which had now expired. The petitioners pray for an incorporation of a company to carry the contemplated canal into effect. Referred to a select committee.
Mr. Clopton, from the committee of revisal and unfinished business, made a report of several acts, the duration of which would expire within a short time; which was ordered to be printed.
The bill making further appropriations for the support of the navy of the U.S. during the year 1807 was read the third time and on the question "shall the bill pass" a debate ensued which was prolonged to half past 2 o'clock, in which Messrs.

Montgomery, Randolph, Quincy, Al- ton, Chandler, Fisk, Upham, Sloan, D. Williams, Eppes, Love, Cook, Dana, Lyon, Gardenier, took part. When the question was taken on the passage of the bill by yeas and nays, which was—yeas 124, nays 2.
GOTTENBURG, September 4. A Swedish traveller, arrived from Co- penhagen this morning, reports that up- wards of 6000 of the inhabitants were killed in the late siege, that the people are much dissatisfied both with Crown Prince and the governor of Copenhagen (Peyman) the latter of whom, he says, dares not venture out without a strong guard; he also says, that he was credibly informed at Copenhagen, that Bonaparte has made large pecuniary offers to the Danish go- vernment to give up their navy. This traveller reports that 14 millions of rix dollars was the offer. We have also re- ports to day that the French army in Po- land is again preparing for warlike opera- tions against Russia; indeed it is said to be in full march.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
BOSTON, November 9. IMPORTANT TO COMMERCE. From Amsterdam, Sept. 14. "Vessels that have touched at England, or which have been carried into England, are not allowed to discharge here. As soon as a vessel arrives, the different con- signees of the cargo are obliged to give bonds to the treble value of the goods, that the vessel has not been in any of the English harbors. If it should afterwards appear that the vessel has really not been in England, then the bonds are given up; but if the contrary should be proved, the a- mount of the bonds must be immediately paid into the public treasury, and the cargo confiscated. The merchants one and all have refused to sign such bonds, and seve- ral vessels (Americans) now here, will probably be turned away." The royal decree which imposes the a- bove restrictions is dated August 28, 1807, a copy of which, in Dutch, may be seen at the Gazette counting room. The following letter dated at Rotter- dam, the 7th September, and from one of the first mercantile houses in that city, will be deemed important, as it gives an opinion of the exceptions or provisions to which the above decree, is limited. From Rotterdam, Sept. 14, 1807. "Since our last the government of this kingdom has prohibited all intercourse with Great Britain; and several vessels arrived from thence, have been refused admittance, and obliged to put back. "As for the correspondence with Eng- land, we think that other channels will al- ways be left open to convey remittance, for account of Americans in England. "American vessels bound to this country, should not touch in British ports, unless NECESSITATED by stress of weather, or OTHERWISE, of which they will (must) be able to procure sufficient proof here. "The above mentioned decree will tend further to injure the price of colonial arti- cles."
Dutch Decree. From the loose and definite manner, in which the decree of the Dutch govern- ment (given above) is drawn up, it is diffi- culty to determine how far the prohibition is meant to extend. The exorbitant secu- rity demanded until satisfactory proof is given of a direct voyage from and to a friendly port, is unjustifiable on every prin- ciple of commercial usages; and the clause prohibiting the touching at any English port, though it may admit an exception of necessity, still carries along with it diffi- culties and embarrassments, that must ren- der the trade a perilous one, under the most favorable circumstances.
FRANKFORT, (Ken.) Oct. 22. The following communication, from gov. Harrison, was received by the last mail. The undersigned the governor of the Indiana territory and superintendent of In- dian affairs, is happy to have it in his pow- er to inform his fellow citizens that there does not at present exist the smallest pro- bability of an Indian war. Confidential agents whom he has employed to visit the several tribes have lately returned, and brought with them the result of several meetings and councils held by the chiefs, in all of which it was unanimously deter- mined to preserve their relations of peace and amity with the United States, even if war between us and Great Britain should take place. The few Indians upon the lakes who are under the British influence, are too
contemptible in point of number and cha- racter as warriors, to undertake any hos- tile enterprise without the aid and counte- nance of the Indians of the Wabash who are decidedly for peace. The undersigned pledges himself for the peaceable disposi- tion of the Delaware, Miami, Wea, Piank- ashaw and Kickapoo tribes.
WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON. Vincennes, 13th October, 1807. Information, corroborative of the above has been also received by us, from Gen. Wells, dated at Staunton, on the Miami, in the state of Ohio.

COMMUNICATION.
A letter has been received in this city, dated the 11th instant, from a respectable merchant in New York, stating that a gen- tleman who came passenger in the ship Sansom, saw Mr. Monroe on the evening of the 1st of October, who informed him, "that all hopes of an accommodation with Great Britain were at an end." [Baltimore paper.]
Extract of a letter from the supercargo of the ship Maria of Philadelphia, captain Hughes dated at Buenos Ayres 14th Ju- ly, 1807.
"The hardships which the few Ameri- cans who came here after the conquest from Beresford in August underwent, are not easily described. Capt Hyatt of Newport, the captain and supercargo of the ship Di- ana, of Wiscasset and myself, were confin- ed in a loathsome prison for 40 days, part of the time among double ironed convicts of all colors—incommunicable—denied all the aid of medicine, although in extreme want of it, committed without a crime and enlarged without trial or examination. No American for four months could obtain the assistance of agent, attorney or inter- preter. "The English army commanded by 6 generals were, on the 5th inst. completely beat in this city, lost 2000 prisoners and from 11 to 1200 killed and wounded—and beat too, by the most miserable rabble that God ever created, and under the command of officers who had never seen an action. The misfortune must be placed to the ac- count of the British commander in chief, Whitelock and his second general Gower The prisoners on each side are to be giv- en up, and the English to evacuate their conquest on the La Plata, and depart in 2 months from the 7th inst. In this business though unfortunate, there was not a British soldier who did not do his duty."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Lis- bon, to his correspondent in Boston, dated 27th Sept. 1807. "The alarm about the French govern- ment having demanded the inhibition of British manufactures from the ports of this kingdom, and of 40,000 troops to be sent to enforce it, rather tends to encrease than to diminish. Within a fortnight or three week every exertion has been made to fit out the navy; seamen are impressing in all quarters, and the general opinion is, that it is the intention of the prince regent, in case an army is marched to this country, to take his most valuable effects, and to embark for the Brazils; as no one can surmise what the fleet is fitting out for, if not for this purpose. We suppose that this opinion has grown out of this circumstance; but the real cause or intention of this government we believe to be a profound secret. It was at first reported, that it was to send troops to the Brazils, to keep all quiet there, as some late attempts have been made at an insurrection. It is much feared if the French attempt to march an army, that the English will anticipate them, by sending a fleet here, to make the first seizure of the Portuguese fleet, and valuables. As it is always the case, however, in time of dan- ger, each one magnifies the hints and sto- ries of his neighbors, and in the course of one change, a molehill is magnified to a mountain; but, without magnifying the danger, be assured the country is in rather a critical situation. I am apprehensive, if any movement is actually made, that our countrymen will experience as great a loss as they did at Hamburgh, by consigning their property to foreign houses."
Strong complaints are made in the Eng- lish prints of the undue and unwarrantable leaning discovered by our administration towards France, her mortal enemy. They say that protection & accommodation were yielded to the French ships of war La Cy- belle and — in the Chesapeake, while a proclamation was issued interdicting the English ships of war from our waters, and
making it penal to afford them supplies. The answer we once thought obvious and conclusive, namely, that it was the British ships that first violated our rights by de- manding of our national ships to deliver up their deserters; but now it unfortunately comes out that the French have more than once done the same thing without incur- ring any such consequences.
The following cases are mentioned in point:
"When the Hornet sloop of war went to L'Orient, we had five French sailors on board, who had been naturalized, and who had been in our service for several years. A French officer came on board the Hor- net and seized these men by force (then under the protection of our flag) and car- ried them off. Not one word has been heard about this outrage."
And when the United States' frigate Constitution, H. G. Campbell, commander, lay in Cadiz Bay, the French admiral Ros- sily, hearing that there was a French sailor on board, by the name of Nicholas Verhage, sent on board and demanded him, and he was delivered up. This man was not e- ven a deserter from any French ship, for he had never served on board of any French armed vessel public or private, but he had voluntarily enlisted some years before on board the United States' frigate Essex, while she lay at Malaga. In proof of this fact, is produced the following CERTIFICATE.
"Consulate of the U. S. at Cadiz. "I do hereby certify that the bearer hereof, Nicholas Verhage was serving on board of the U. S. ship Constitution, H. G. Campbell, esq. commander, and while in this bay, was delivered up in conse- quence of orders from the French admiral, mons. Rossily.
JAMES MCCANN, Consular Agent." Supposing these facts to be correctly stated, we confess it seems to cut up the only ground the administration had left to stand upon. Let them pause then if it is yet not too late, and reflect on the prospect before us.

Captain ge- neral and commander in chief in and over the British provinces in North Ame- rica. In the Horatio came 50 artillery men which are all the troops we are to expect from England this fall.
AMERICAN ANTIQUITY.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the state of Tennessee, to his friend in Carlisle.
TWO days after judge B— arrived our curiosity was excited to see the for- tifications on the Cumberland river below this, from the representations we had of the place; and I do assure you that our astonishment was great when we saw with what judgement the place had been chosen and how well calculated it was for a small number of men to defend themselves from a vast body of their enemies. We are all impressed with a belief that it was the work of some European nation skilled in war, and who understood and had cannon and small arms. The fortified place is of a perfect triangular form. The Cumber- land river forming one line, a creek ano- ther, and the entrenchment a third and containing within according to my mea- surement twelve and a half acres of ground —In the centre of this place there is a high mound also of a triangular form, which is sufficiently high to command the river, the creek and the ground beyond the en- trenchment. Vestiges are left of a bloody battle that was fought here. A vast num- ber of graves evidently of Indian construc- tion, besides a great number of bones which we found in a cave on the ledges of the rocks, convinced us that the army within was obliged to surrender, and after- wards lost their lives, or they retreated in confusion down the river, leaving behind some articles of European manufacture;— a jug with a crown on its top, a locket with the letters A M on it were taken out of the cave, by those who first entered it. Is it not reasonable to conclude from the above facts that at their attempting to re- treat they were entirely destroyed, previ- ously having thrown all their arms in the river, which is here very deep and rapid
and by that the historian lost all accounts of the affair? Much has been said about the settlements of the Welch Modoc had made in this part of America, but I am in- clined to believe that it was either the French or Norwegians who had formerly cultivated this part of the country; Your conjectures will be very agreeable to me on this subject.
