Spanish Conspiracy, To subvert the Sovereignty of the United States,
Disclosed in the deposition of Judge INNES, before the Legislature of Kentucky, on the 2d December, 1806.
This deponent having detailed every thing which occurred within his knowledge respecting Mr. Sebastian's receiving a pension, and the object which had induced him to descend the Mississippi in the latter end of 1795, or beginning of 1796, addressed this committee and stated that he was going to make a communication which was not pertinent to the subject of the testimony he had already given, but had relation to the same matter—that he was induced to do it in consequence of the slanders which had been falsely and lavishly heaped upon him by the publications in the Western World—that he had been charged as a disorganizer of the government—that he had been charged in an indirect manner as having improperly received Spanish money, on account of his intimacy with and friendly agency towards general Wilkinson after he joined the army. To make this communication was a duty he owed his own character, and to the memory of the late col. Nicholas; who as a character has also been attacked by the publications in the Western World—that he made a solemn appeal to the chair, man of the committee, to his country, and to his God, that the accusations were false—that the communication he was about to make was of a delicate nature as it related to his deponent; because from the circumstances which attended it, much must depend upon his own veracity, as he could only prove the facts by circumstantial evidence to wit: the declarations of col. Nicholas in his life time on the same subject.
This deponent then proceeded to state that a certain Thomas Power, who this deponent never saw, came from Louisiana in the summer of 1797, and made a communication to Mr. Sebastian, in writing, which has a reference to the same characters that are named in the letter of the baron of Carondelet, herein before inserted! that Mr. Sebastian came to this deponent's house some short time after receiving the communication and shewed it to him, upon which this deponent observed that it was a dangerous project, and ought not to be countenanced, as the western people had now obtained the navigation of the Mississippi, by which all their wishes were gratified. Mr. Sebastian concurred in sentiment, but observed that Power wished a written answer, and requested me to see col. Nicholas, saying that whatever we did, he would concur in. I promised to visit the colonel in two or three days.—This deponent never had any communication with Mr. Murray upon the business, nor does he know that Mr. Sebastian ever did inform Mr. Murray of it.
This deponent rode to Lexington and had a conference with col. Nicholas, respecting the communication from Power, who agreeing with this deponent that the proposition ought to be rejected; he, col. Nicholas wrote an answer, which was copied by this deponent signed by both of us, and directed by me; that the copy of our answer was taken possession of by me, and except for a short time that I left it in the hands of Mr. Morrison in August last, to have copied as being the executor and friend of col. Nicholas he wished to have a copy; Mr. Morrison having previously informed me that col. Nicholas in his life time had related all the circumstances to him, and that he had communicated it to James Ross, Esq. of Pennsylvania, when in this country, in I believe 1798, who was then a senator in the congress of the U. States.
This deponent, since making this communication, recollects that Mr. Sebastian informed him when he gave up the original paper to be submitted to col. Nicholas, Mr. Power requested it to be returned to him with our answer, which was done, but not until this deponent took a copy, which with the answer are as follows:
"His excellency the baron of Carondelet, commander in chief and governor of his catholic majesty's provinces of West Florida and Louisiana, having communications of importance, embracing the interests of said provinces, and at the same time deeply affecting these of Kentucky and the western country in general, to make its inhabitants, through the medium of the influential characters in this country, and judging it in the present uncertain and critical attitude of politics, highly imprudent and dangerous to state them on paper, has expressly commissioned and authorized me to submit the following proposals to the consideration of Messrs. S. N. L. and M. and also to such other gentlemen as may be pointed out by them, and to receive from them their sentiments and determination on the subject."
"1st. The above mentioned gentlemen are immediately to exert all their influence in impressing on the minds of the inhabitants of the western country a conviction of the necessity of their withdrawing and separating themselves from the federal union, and forming an independent government wholly unconnected with that of the Atlantic states, to prepare and dispose the people for such an event, it will be necessary that the most popular and eloquent writers in this state, should in well timed publications expose in the most striking point of view the inconveniences and disadvantages, that a longer connexion with and dependence on the Atlantic states must inevitably draw upon them, and the great and innumerable difficulties in which they will be entangled if they do not speedily recede from the union—the benefits they will certainly reap from a secession ought to be pointed out in the most forcible and powerful manner, and the danger of permitting the federal troops to take possession of the posts on the Mississippi, and thus forming a cordon of fortified places round them, must be particularly expatiated upon. In consideration of gentlemen devoting their time and talents to this object, his excellency the baron of Carondelet, will appropriate the sum of one hundred thousand dollars to their use, which shall be paid in drafts on the royal treasury at New Orleans, or if more convenient shall be conveyed at the expense of his Catholic majesty into this country, and held at their disposal. Moreover, should such persons as shall be instrumental in promoting the views of his Catholic majesty hold any public employment, and in consequence of taking an active part in endeavoring to effect a secession, shall lose their employments, a compensation equal at least to the emoluments of their office, shall be made to them by his Catholic majesty, let their efforts be crowned with success or terminate in disappointment."
"2d. Immediately after the declaration of independence, fort Massac should be taken possession of by the troops of the new government, which shall be furnished by his Catholic majesty without loss of time, with twenty field pieces with their carriages and every necessary appendage, including powder, balls, &c. together with a number of small arms and ammunition, sufficient to equip the troops that shall be judged expedient to raise. The whole to be transported at his expence to the already mentioned fort Massac. His majesty will further supply the sum of one hundred thousand dollars for the raising and maintaining the said troops, which sum shall also be conveyed to and delivered at Fort Massac."
"3d. The northern boundary of his Catholic majesty's provinces of East & West Florida shall be designated by a line commencing on the Mississippi at the mouth of the river Yazoo, extending due east to the river Confederation or Tombecbee—provided however, that all his majesty's forts posts and settlements on the Confederation or Tombecbee are included on the south of such a line, but should any of his majesty's forts, posts or settlements fall to the north of said line, then the northern boundary of his majesty's provinces of East & West Florida shall be designated by a line beginning at the same point on the Mississippi and drawn in such a direction as to meet the river Confederation or Tombecbee, six miles to the north of the most northern Spanish fort, post or settlement on the said river. All the lands to the north of that line shall be considered as constituting a part of the territory of the new government, saving that small tract of land at the Chickasaw Bluffs, on the eastern bank of the Mississippi, ceded to his majesty by the Chickasaw nation in a formal treaty concluded on the spot in the year 1795, between his excellency signior don Manuel Gayoso de Lemus, governor of Natchez and Augliakabee and some other Chickasaw chiefs, which tract of land his majesty reserves for himself. The eastern boundary of the Floridas shall be hereafter regulated."
"4th. His Catholic majesty will in case the Indian nations south of the Ohio, should declare war or commit hostilities against the new government, not only to join and assist in repelling its enemies, but if said government shall at any future period esteem it necessary to reduce said Indian nations, extend its dominion over them & compel them to submit themselves to its constitution and laws, his majesty will heartily concur and co-operate with the new government in the most effectual manner in attaining this desirable end."
"5th. His Catholic majesty will not either directly or indirectly interfere in the framing of the constitution or laws which the new government shall think fit to adopt nor will he at any time by any means whatever attempt to lessen the independence of the said government, or endeavor to acquire an undue influence in it, but will in the manner that shall hereafter be stipulated by treaty, defend and support it in preserving its independence."
"The preceding proposals are the outlines of a provisional treaty, which his excellency the baron of Carondelet is desirous of entering into with the inhabitants of the western country, the moment they shall be in a situation to treat for themselves. Should they not meet entirely with your approbation, and should you wish to make any alterations in, or additions to them, I shall on my return, if you think proper to communicate them to me, lay them before his excellency, who is animated with a sincere and ardent desire to foster this promising and rising infant country, and at the same time promote and fortify the interests of his beneficent royal master, in securing by a generous & disinterested conduct the gratitude and affections of a just, sensible and enlightened people."
"The important and unexpected events that have taken place in Europe since the ratification of the treaty concluded on the 27th of October, 1795, between his catholic majesty and the United States of America having convulsed the general system of politics in that quarter of the globe and wherever its influence is extended, causing a coalition of interests between nations formerly living in the most perfect union and harmony, and directing the political views of some states towards objects the most remote from their former pursuits, but none being so completely unhinged & disjointed as the cabinet of Spain, it may be confidently asserted without incurring the reproach of presumption, that his catholic majesty will not carry the above mentioned treaty into execution; nevertheless the thorough knowledge I have of the disposition of the Spanish government justifies me in saying that so far from its being his majesty's wish to exclude the inhabitants of this western country from the free navigation of the Mississippi, or withhold from them any of the benefits stipulated for them by the treaty, it is positively his intention so soon as they shall put it in his power to treat with them, by declaring themselves independent of the federal government and establishing one of their own, to grant them privileges far more extensive, give them a decided preference over the Atlantic states in his commercial connections with them, and place them in a situation infinitely more advantageous, in every point of view, than that in which they would find themselves, were the treaty to be carried into effect."
Signed, THOMAS POWER. Louisville, 19th July, 1797.
To which the following answer was returned.
"Sir, "We have seen the communication made by you to Mr. SEBASTIAN."
"In answer thereto, we declare unequivocally that we will not be concerned either directly or indirectly in any attempt that may be made to separate the Western country from the United States.—That whatever part we may at any time be induced to take in the politics of our country, that her welfare will be our only inducement, and what we will never receive any pecuniary or other reward for any personal exertions made by us to promote that welfare."
"The free navigation of the Mississippi, must always be the favorite object of the inhabitants of the western country, they cannot be contented without it; and will not be deprived of it longer than necessary shall compel them to submit to its being withheld from them."
"We flatter ourselves that every thing respecting this very important business will be set right by the government of the two nations; but if this should not be the case, it appears to us that it must be the policy of Spain to encourage by every possible means, the free intercourse with the inhabitants of the Western country, as this will be the most efficient means to conciliate their good will, and to obtain without hazard, and at reduced prices those supplies which are indispensably necessary to the Spanish government and its subjects."
The original communication and joint answer of colonel Nicholas and this deponent were forwarded to Mr. Sebastian, who
has since informed this deponent that they were given to Mr. Power. Whether the letter was signed also by Mr. Sebastian this deponent does not know; it was open to him, nor does he recollect that Mr. Sebastian ever informed him that he had signed it.
This deponent says that the reason why he and colonel Nicholas did not communicate the subject to the executive of the United States were these—1st. That it was well known that neither of us approved of Mr. Adam's administration, and that we believed he kept a watchful eye over our actions, that the communication must depend upon his opinion of our veracity and it would have the appearance of courting his favor. 2d. That we both had reason, and did believe that the then administration, were disposed, upon the slightest pretext, to send an army to this state, which we considered would be a grievance upon the people, and therefore declined making any communication upon the subject, as we apprehended no danger from the Spanish government.
This deponent requests the committee to summon Mr. Morrison to prove the declarations of col. Nicholas respecting the transactions which relate to that gentleman, if any doubt exists as to the truth of the statement herein made.
HARRY INNES. Dec. 1, 1806.

PITTSBURG, December 31.
THE CONSPIRACY. Yesterday morning, in consequence of information given to Nathaniel Irish and George Robinson, esquires, justices of the peace, and to lieutenant Swearingen, commandant of the U. S. garrison at fort Fayette, two keel boats, from Freeport (a small town on the Alleghany river about 30 miles from Pittsburgh) were seized, as the property of the conspirators.
From the large size of the boats, and their being numbered 1 and 2, they carry strong evidence of being the property of a company, and calculated for victualing an expedition.
Their loading, it appears, consists principally of provisions, with some military stores—and the number of men not more than sufficient to navigate them to Natchez, the head quarters of the quid emperor.
When seized they were under the orders of Weaver, of Greensburgh, who is well known to be one of Burr's contractors; and Davis the Irish royalist of Pittsburgh also put a variety of articles on board, for the same destination.
Upon examination before the magistrates, Weaver produced an affidavit made before the probonotary of Westmoreland county, stating that the articles in the boat were consigned to a Mr. Postlewaite, at Natchez, to be by him sold on his (Weaver's) account, to the highest bidder.
The magistrates and lieutenant Swearingen therefore agreed to discharge them. We hope, however, that the Ohio militia at Cincinnati, will detain them, as, notwithstanding Weaver's affidavit, there is no doubt of the stores being destined for a treasonable purpose. Comfort Tyler is the person from whom Weaver received his instructions.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12:
At a meeting of the inhabitants of the city of Washington, convened on Friday evening the 9th instant at Myer's hotel, pursuant to public notice, to receive and consider the report of the committee appointed on the 5th instant to draft an address to the president of the United States, approbatory as well of his administration as his private character as a citizen, and requesting him to permit his name to be held up as a candidate on the ensuing election for Chief Magistrate of the United States.
The committee according to order made a report, and after due consideration, the meeting unanimously agreed to an address to be presented to the president of the United States, and appointed a committee to present the same;
Whereupon, Resolved unanimously, That although the inhabitants of this city are deprived of any participation in the elective franchise by a constitutional arrangement, yet feeling an identity of interest with their fellow citizens generally, and conscious that the national interest, happiness and prosperity may be greatly promoted, should the president of the United States comply with the request of the many respectable bodies who have addressed him to stand as a candidate on the ensuing election.

lection for the chief magistracy of the union, they cannot refrain on this important occasion from also soliciting him, whose long and faithful services, as well as his public and private virtues so eminently qualify him to administer the general government to gratify the ardent wishes of his fellow citizens on this occasion.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 13.
The Presidents of the different banks in Maryland have petitioned the Legislature to pass a law for punishing forgeries with death, and a bill has been brought in accordingly.
The bill to prohibit the emigration of free negroes into the state of Maryland, passed the House of Delegates on the 24th ult. Yeas 43, Nays 8.
The senate of Virginia have negatived the proposition of the house of delegates for consulting the people as to the call of a convention.
Richmond, January 7.
We are authorised to state from unquestionable authority, that James Wilson, who was secretary to the Wood county meeting last fall, has been arrested as one of Burr's adherents, was examined before the magistrates and found guilty. It is also stated that on the 24th, there was between Pittsburg and Marietta, 1000 of Burr's men on the Ohio river.
Post masters. —A very important question has been agitated in the supreme court of New York, viz. "Whether the post masters are liable for bank notes stolen by their clerks out of letters delivered at their offices for transportation by the mail?"—In England they are not liable; but the provisions of our post-office law are different from those of England. Judge Livingston gave it as his decided opinion, that our post masters were liable. The rest of the court gave no opinion upon this point, it not being in their opinion necessary to the case. The opinion of judge L. is however highly important, as he is now appointed one of the judges of the supreme court of the United States, the tribunal before which the question must be ultimately decided. Phil. paper.
This morning's eastern mail furnishes the particulars of another distressing fire at Portsmouth, N. H. We have room only to state that 15 or 20 valuable stores & dwelling houses were destroyed. The fire commenced on or near the spot where the great fire, four years ago terminated. The loss is estimated at 150,000 dollars.
On the 29th of Dec. in Senate,
Gen. Smith observed, that on examining the rules and articles of war, there appeared to be no power to punish a citizen who should be found acting as a spy in the army, or attempting to seduce the officers or soldiers from their duty.
He therefore moved that a committee be appointed to enquire what amendments were necessary to the act for establishing rules and articles for the government of the army of the U. States.
Extract of a letter from Canton, dated May 20, 1806.
The ladrões are in great force and daily increasing in numbers, and I should no wonder if some attempt was made this year on some of our small ships, as no doubt were they aware of their own strength and the weakness of our ships, it would have been done long since.
By the China Packet, from Calcutta, we learn, that an attempt had been made by a strong party of natives to liberate the children of Tippoo Saib. The fortress in which they were confined was attacked, and would have been carried but for the timely appearance of a company of dragoons, who, without discrimination, cut down the assailants.
[Phil. pap.]
Extract from a Bordeaux paper.
"When we compare the administration of France with that of England, it is impossible not to be struck with the contrast. At London they prosecuted lord Melville, Treasurer of the navy; lord Wellesley, governor general of India; and lord St. Vincent. These prosecutions are confined to charges which tend only to remove the confidence placed in the hands of administration. In France, on the contrary, no person is accused, and, in fact, no other can be, except he be an inferior agent."
Proof and punishment follow immediately. Public confidence encreases, when it is known the chief of the state exerts a penetrating and correct vigilance—a vigilance that nothing can resist, into the most trifling details."
FACTS from the Aurora!!!
General Wilkinson did apply to the acting Governor of the Mississippi Territory for 500 militia.
Mr. Meade required to know for what purpose—no answer was given for several days.
A considerable assemblage of the militia officers at the seat of government being consulted; it appears that considering, that three bodies of Choctaw Indians had been tampered with, and were poised for war —and that one body of them had already crossed the U. S. line, and destroyed the plantation, and carried off the farming utensils of major Woodbridge.
Considering that the proximity of Fort Adams, rendered it necessary not to leave that part of the country open to the assaults of conspirators, they advised Mr. Meade not to comply with the request.
Other reasons, which we choose not to notice, were also assigned, of a very valid nature; but which prove the fidelity of the citizens to their country.
It seems as if Congress really slept over their duty —or that the miserable and pitiful artifices of a certain intriguer at the seat of government had been employed to distract the public councils, in order to favor conspirators—It is our solemn opinion that such is the fact. It is really time that Congress should exhibit some activity in repressing conspiracy and intriguers.

While the people of the United States are alternately amused and alarmed with unofficial and official accounts of schemes and projects attributed to Aaron Burr & others alleged to be confederate with him in a design to involve the nation in civil war, or to transfer a portion of its territory to a foreign power—an explicit disclosure is made of a proposition, on the part of the government of Spain to subvert the sovereignty, the independence, the peace, and prosperity of our country, by exciting a revolt and separation of the Western from the Atlantic states.
This disclosure comes in a shape which no vile intriguer will dare to deny, nor the most bigotted partisan effect to disbelieve—It proceeds on the confession of a person deeply implicated in the result: it is made by a judge of the United States, relating facts on his oath, and with the utmost solemnity, before the high court of the legislature of Kentucky. To this relation, given in this day's Register, we exhort the attention of every man, who calls himself a citizen of the United States, and who in his capacity of citizen, combines the obligations of allegiance to his country, with the endearing ties of husband, father, son and brother to his family.
Professing ourselves, as we are, utterly ignorant of the politics or personal character of Mr. Innes, and his confederates, we do not hesitate to say that his disposition involves a matter as momentous as ever was submitted to the consideration of a free people, or an independent government—It goes the full length to prove that of all the enemies that can arise against the United States, there is no one so dangerous as the intrigues that have been practised, and from just inference, may at this moment be presumed to be carrying on by the agents of Spain within our national limits.
The source of our greatest danger being thus ascertained, it becomes the duty of every real American to exert his utmost faculties to explore its direction and application, and to avert the evils with which it threatens to overwhelm us. With this view we submit the following remarks and interrogatories.
Mr. Innes after he found the project must be blown, has had the effrontery, the term as it is applied is a mild one, to assert to the Legislature of Kentucky, that his reasons for concealing this treasonable attempt, against the sovereignty and peace of the United States were as follows.
"The reasons why the deponent (judge Innes) and col. Nicholas did not communicate the subject to the executive of the U. States were these—1st, That it was well known that neither of us approved of Mr. Adams's administration, and that we believed he kept a watchful eye over our actions, that the communication must depend upon his opinion of our veracity, and it would have the appearance of courting his favor! 2d, That we both had reason, and did believe that the then administration were disposed upon the slightest pretext to send an army to this state, which
we considered would be a grievance upon the people, and therefore declined making any communication upon the subject, as we apprehended no danger from the Spanish government!
"This deponent requests the committee to summon Mr. Morrison to prove the declarations of col. Nicholas respecting the transactions which relate to it at gentleman, if any doubt exists as to the truth of the statement herein made."
Shameful and ridiculous as these reasons are, we find them countenanced, supported, and attempted to be carried into effect, thro' the medium of the National Intelligencer, a paper printed at the seat of the government of the U. S. and considered as being under the immediate patronage of the administration. They are inserted in that paper of the 5th inst. and are given as extracts from a letter to a member of congress, in the following words:
"Extract of a letter to a member of congress, dated Frankfort (Ken.) 11th December, 1806.
"To prevent the ill consequences arising from first impressions that may be created by misrepresentations which I expect will be made in certain public papers, respecting the conduct of colonel George Nicholas on certain propositions made to him, Mr. Innes and Mr. Murray, through the hands of judge Sebastian. I give you a hasty sketch, and when published will transmit to you the whole proceedings as had before the legislature.
"The only censure that can attach to the character of col. Nicholas and Mr. Innes, is their not having made a representation to the government—this, I understand, is explained by the deposition of major James Morrison, the executor and bos. in friend of colonel Nicholas; but of which I have not yet procured a copy."
Read Americans! and, if possible, suppress your indignation, when you find an attempt to palliate this atrocious and treasonable concealment.
The following questions blast this attempt to impose on your understanding; and if there is either patriotism, truth or honor in the men to whom you have confided your dearest interests, impeachment must follow—and justice be done on the delinquents, be they whom they may.
Who will admit that the reasons alleged by Mr. Innes, justified the concealment from Mr. Adams, as president of the U. S. of a proposal which involved the safety of our citizens, and the sovereignty of the U. S.
Should any one, the moon-struck maniac of party politics, be hardly enough to answer in the affirmative—let the following queries strike the ideot dumb, and confound his abettors.
Six years have nearly elapsed, since Mr. Jefferson's accession to the presidency of the U. S.
Has this all-important fact been concealed from him too? If such be the truth, who shall dare to say, that
HARRY INNES, judge of the U. S. for the district of Kentucky, should not be impeached of high crimes and misdemeanors?
And, if the communication of these detestable propositions, intended to subvert the sovereignty of the U. S. and to endanger their peace and safety, has been made to the executive magistrate—and such communication has not been imparted to the legislature of the U. S. who shall dare to say, that the withholding of such information from congress, is not an impeachable offence?
These are not the sophisticated conclusions of unfounded premises, but fair deductions from acknowledged facts. Forbearing to expatiate on the horrors that must have befallen our country, had the different machinations of the Spanish government been carried into effect, we may be allowed to hope, that the legislature of the union, will vindicate the rights of the nation, and pursue to condign punishment every person implicated in these nefarious transactions.
As journalists, we discharge our duty in placing them before the public; as citizens, possessing a common interest in the concerns of our country, we are warranted in whatever opinions we may utter respecting the authors and agents of these detestable projects; and, we are free to say, that (after what we have witnessed of Spanish intrigue) it would be no trespass on the intercourse of civilized nations, to declare by a law of the U. S. which should recognise these intrigues, that the first repetition of them, under certain proof, should be considered as a declaration of war, and the agents, let them represent whom they may, should suffer military execution as spies taken within a fortress, or the limits of a camp!

NOTICE TO CAUTION the public against trespassing on our enclosures adjoining and contiguous to Cameron Mills, with dogs, guns, or otherwise. The late destruction to the winter grain and hedging by such thoughtless mischievous conduct already has been very injurious, done generally by those passing back and forward to Alexandria, preferring such mischievous to a better track through open fields, which is less surprising in thoughtless slaves than the free inhabitants, who may expect hereafter to be treated as the law points out in such cases. They are further noticed to be aware of such conduct after night, when proof can be seldom ascertained—we have therefore prepared armed men with fierce dogs to worry and cripple all such unseasonable intruders, more especially when detected on the hedge rows. Licence will be granted to enter the premises near the bridge over the row, where steps will be erected for the protection of the thorns; this is not to be considered as a thoroughfare, but only for the use and convenience of those with actual business at the mill. We are well satisfied by late experience of the necessity to adopt these rigorous methods, otherwise abandon the hedges, at a certain loss of the expense and trouble already expended. The premises must not be entered only at the place pointed out, on any pretence whatever. J. Stump & D. Ricketts. Cameron Mills, 30th Dec. 2aw1m
