VALUABLE LANDS, To be Sold very Cheap.
I WISH to sell my Mill Tract of Land, situate on Back-Lick and Indian Runs, about six miles from the town of Alexandria; containing about eleven hundred acres. On this tract are two plantations besides the mill farm—on the latter there is a very good mill, in which are one pair of burr, and one pair of culen stones, with elevators, &c. complete for merchant work—a distillery convenient to the mill, with four stills and every necessary utensil in complete order—a dwelling-house, kitchen, barn, with stables under it to accommodate 20 stalls, with every other out house requisite on a farm—a very good garden, an orchard of about 2500 trees of the choicest fruits this country can afford. There is about 300 or 400 acres of the tract cleared, the remainder in woods and a great part of it heavily timbered; about 30 or 40 acres of meadow, and nearly 300 acres more may be made on the bottoms adjoining the two runs. ALSO,
One other tract of one hundred acres, about two miles from Alexandria, part of the Clesish Tract, and adjoining the lands of Messieurs John C. Herbert, Robert Patton, and John Richter, the Mount-Vernon road running through it. This tract is mostly in woods, and conveniently situated for country seats. If these lands should be sold at private sale, (which I would prefer) I will take in payment, if more convenient to the purchasers, stock of any of the banks from Richmond to New-York, or any kind of stock of the United States.
If they are not sold before Friday the first day of May next, the Mill Tract will, on that day, be sold at public auction, to the highest bidder—and on the following day the Clesish Lands will be sold in like manner. The Mill Tract will be divided into three or four farms and sold subject to a lease of four and an half years from the first day of July last. The Clesish Tract will be divided into lots of 10 or 20 acres each. If sold at public auction the terms will be made known on the days of sale. William Hepburn. December 4. eo3w law till 1st May
This Day is Published, BY COTTON AND STEWART, [PRICE 25 CENTS.] A full Statement of the Trial and Acquittal of Aaron Burr, Esq. Containing all the Proceedings and Debates that took place before the Federal Court, at Frankfort, Kentucky, Nov. 25, 1806. By JOHN WOOD, Editor of the Western World—who attended at the trial. January 2.

Richard Lee & Son,
SENSIBLE of the many favors conferred on them by an enlightened community, beg permission to return them their sincere acknowledgments, and solicit them for a continuance of the same.
As all the efforts of Hannah Lee and her colleagues to ruin our characters and injure the reputation of our medicines, have proved abortive, we should think it degrading to ourselves and insulting to the public to pursue the contest into which we have been reluctantly dragged. Here we will drop the subject, leave her to enjoy the consolation her vain Billingsgate language in her last advertisement is capable of affording, and simply ask those who may have occasion to purchase medicines of the following description, to give ours a trial, under a full confidence that every new trial will corroborate the long established public opinion of their being genuine.
THE FOLLOWING MEDICINES SOLD BY NICHOLAS HINGSTON, At his China, Glass, Queen's-Ware and Seed Store, Fairfax street, facing Messrs. Ricketts's and Newton's.
Each article has on the outside wrapper, the signature of Richard Lee and Son, Without which none are genuine.
Lee's Worm-destroying Lozenges.
This medicine, which is as innocent & mild as it is certain and efficacious in its operation, cannot injure the youngest infant, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
From the many cases of cures that daily come to our knowledge, we have selected the following:
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son,
You are at liberty to publish the astonishing cure performed by your Lozenges on my son, 10 years old, who was afflicted with fevers, pain in his side, and a continual head-ache, which reduced him so low that he was unable to sit up. One of my neighbors advised me to use your Lozenges, which has had the happy effect of restoring him to a better state of health than he has enjoyed for several years, in the short space of seventeen days.
JOHN KELLEY, Pitt-street.
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son,
My son, five years old, has for some time past been very unhealthy, having fevers, head-ache, and loss of appetite. Hearing of the many cures performed by your Worm Lozenges, I was induced to give them a trial. The effect was beyond my expectation, as a large quantity of small worms was expelled; hundreds of them were alive for some time after.
JOHN KENNEDY, Potter-street.
Baltimore, Jan. 4th, 1807.
For the prevention and cure of Bilious & Malignant Fevers, is recommended Lee's Anti-bilious Pills,
Prepared by Richard Lee & Son, Baltimore. The operation of these Pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
Messrs. Richard Lee & Son,
The high opinion I have of your Bilious Pills, and a desire to make known their utility for the benefit of mankind, I wish you to publish the following:
For two months past, I have been afflicted with a violent sickness at the stomach, an inclination to vomit, and loss of appetite—by taking two doses of your pills, I am restored to a perfect state of health—which induced my wife to try them also, which was attended with the same good effects, being now able to attend to her domestic concerns: in my opinion, this medicine is unequalled in stomach and bowel complaints, not being attended with that griping pain, common to other remedies.
JOHN SCOTT,
Delaney-street, near Columbia Garden.
LEE'S ELIXIR,

From the Charleston Courier.
[A pamphlet has just been published in Philadelphia "An enquiry into the present state of the foreign relations of the union as effected by the late measures of administration." The object of this well written and patriotic work is, to point out to the American people, with perspicuity and feeling, that awful crisis in their affairs which has been brought about by the multiplicity of great and important changes in Europe, and by the measures pursued by our own government. Within the space of a few short years, we have witnessed the destruction of empires, the annihilation of legitimate governments, the establishment of new and powerful thrones, and the dominant control of the self created emperor. With these portentous changes, the relative situation of countries has been altered, as it respects their political and commercial concerns and interests. These awful scenes, which have so recently passed before our eyes in Europe, demand of the people of these United States, the utmost exertion of their wisdom and their talents, to enable them to escape, unhurt, amidst the crush of nations and the wreck of independence. This pamphlet unfolds to public view, the policy of our administration, in their relations with the European powers, and the effects which will naturally result from the measures they have pursued; and it points out the firm and commanding ground which we should assume to assert our rights, and to maintain our liberty and independence. It is entitled to the most serious and attentive perusal of every American, who feels no other attachment than to his native country, and asks for no greater honor than to participate in her glory. As it is signed, so it is written in the spirit and style of an "Independent American," proud of his country, jealous of his rights, and emulating the example of those patriots, who have contributed all the energies of their minds to the improvement and honor of their country, and to the happiness of their fellow citizens. As a specimen of his style and manner we subjoin his introductory observations.]
INTRODUCTION.
THE portentous age in which we live, so pregnant with wonderful and unparalleled events, that involve within themselves the fortunes of empires, fixes the judgment and furnishes a range for the imagination of every observer. It is a spectacle which is seldom displayed to the world, to see a general wreck of the old constitutions and national establishments that have flourished in majestic greatness for ages; and a solicitude for our country's safety, leads us to look, with anxious concern, upon the convulsions that are shaking the very foundations of the present order of things. A few years only have revolved their courses, since governments which thought themselves far remote from any danger, have been swept away by the overwhelming tide of destruction, and these terrible examples should awaken us from any false security or infatuated confidence that we may have in our peculiar and separated situation.
The perfection of the vast art of navigation has brought the most distant nations into contiguity, the effect of which is so extensive, that, although three thousand miles of boisterous waters divide us from Europe, yet, the events of the one continent affect the concerns of the others so intimately, that space is swallowed up in the mutuality and commixture of wants, dependencies and interests. Nothing is now done in any quarter of the globe, which does not bear upon its farthest limits; and it behoves the people of the United States, composing as they do, a great division of the political world, and ranking second among commercial nations, to keep a steady, watchful eye upon the restless potentates of Europe, and to mark out their foreign policy by the rules of consummate wisdom, in lines drawn bold and correct by the pencil of resolution. We cannot exist an isolated member of the grand community of nations. Our commerce touches the jealous rivals of the old world at every point, and they are always ready to find or to make reasons, which, to rapacity, are sufficiently just for plundering and abusing us. Our wealth presents a temptation too strong for the forbearance of unprincipled marauders, our present and increasing greatness in numbers and resources awakens the envy or the fears of half the world, and for this delicate situation a system of conduct must be adopted wary, prudent and wise.
Nor is it sufficient that we reflect upon our immediate relations; the aspect of the times forebodes a futurity that should call for a most anxious and divining penetration into its probable events.
Certainly if there ever was a period which demanded a wisdom almost celestial in the administration of human affairs, it is the period present with us. This is a crisis, which seems to display what has just passed within our memory, and what would in other days have astonished the world, as the mere prelude to changes which no intelligence could foresee and which no intelligence can completely follow; as the mere sports of children to be outdone by the labors of giants. We see empires, states, kingdoms, republics, rising, falling, suspended, or destroyed with the celerity of the air built fabrics of the brain. The old potentates of Europe seated upon trembling thrones, under which has been worked the mine of public opinion, ready to be sprung at any moment, or else, tumbled from their proud exaltation and made to give place to the bastard spawn of lawless royalty—kingdoms changed into republics, and, by a Napoleon process again converted into kingdoms, the sceptre of the Bourbons gone to a man who is but of yesterday, and a new Charlemagne trampling upon the nations of the west. We see arts, intrigues, treachery, force, persuasion, and whatever else can be devised in the councils of usurping ambition used to annihilate every difficulty that may possibly be found in its bloody road to universal empire, and to secure a supremacy among nations, by blasting the power of every people who dare to hold up an independent front. A new arrangement of things, in which France is to stand controller of the world, exalted in triumph upon the ruins of liberty and right, seems rapidly advancing to a full accomplishment. The prospect may soon be converted into a fatal reality: a short interval was seen between the establishment of a dictator in Rome & her conquest of the world; and the first generation of the legions of Marius, who saw Italy and the capital well nigh overwhelmed by the irruption of barbarians from the Baltic, reposed under the olive trees of Antioch, and witnessed the profound stillness of universal peace, when Augustus received embassies from Scythia and from India, imploring his protection and purchasing his friendship.
Opposed to an inundation so threatening, our attention is arrested by the open and covert machinations or force, and all that is left of the old pride and strength of the remaining independence of Europe, bro't as protecting bulwarks and mounds of defence. And first and foremost in the gallant contest for the liberty of the world, and mainly fighting for existence, Great Britain is seen moving on the wings of the wind, and carrying the tempests of her indignation and the thunders of her vengeance into every climate; or, she is beheld, seated on the proud cliffs of her island, looking with contemptuous triumph towards the fields of Agincourt and Cressy—determined to maintain her glory unvarnished, and the integrity of her empire untouched, she is resolutely fixed in opposing her mortal enemy, Napoleon, with all her strength, and will hold out the contest until honorable peace shall close the strife, let the fortune of the other powers of Eu-
rope be propitious or humiliating as they may.
This is a tremendous contest, the struggles and throes of which, conjoined with the uproar of the tearing up of the foundations of Europe, excite a political tempest, the wind of whose commotion reaches the western shores of the Atlantic, and comes in blasts loud and strong enough to awaken us from our slumbers. Is it nothing to know that the face of the world is changing? That France rules the continent of Europe with an almost unconstrained dominion, and that Great Britain reigns an unrestricted mistress of the ocean? Is it nothing that new relations, new concerns, new commercial and political maxims, & an altered state of things calling for corresponding changes of measures, are everywhere rising to view? Is this radical revolution in the world to leave us alone unaffected, and shall we be able to journey in the beaten track of ancient times, and meet no crossings nor dangers in our way? Is this a season for acting as if the old apparatus of politics was still in motion, when all the turns of government were nothing but the mere operations of machinery? Do the navigators of our vessel of state see no indications of approaching hurricanes, against which to provide with expedition and firmness? Or, shall we, by the miraculous interference of Heaven, ride safely over the yawning waters that have swallowed up so many others in their merciless fury?
I trust, that I shall not be accused of speaking the language of despondence, or of raising a groundless alarm, when I say, that confusions threatening and complicated will shortly be upon our republic, if we see not the extent of the dangers which beset us; nor will I suffer myself to hesitate a moment, doubting for the credence of my countrymen to the sentiment which must fill every American bosom, that, this is no time for us to place a confidence in ordinary men, or to look for safety in unmeaning counsels—our situation is one, which, unless we have talents and vigor to bear us up, leads to a situation of extremity. The full stretch of our faculties is demanded at this perilous hour. Rashness or pusillanimity of conduct will at once seal our destruction, and confound us in the mass of annihilated empires, while a wise and great policy will enable us to weather the storms that are roaring on all sides and we shall then spread an illumination along the political horizon, that will glow the brighter from the shades that may surround it.
[To be continued.]
FROM THE PEOPLE'S FRIEND.
If it be true, and it has not yet been denied, that general Eaton informed Mr. Jefferson of the designs of Burr, how will Mr. J. be able to account to the American people for his having so long neglected to take precautionary measures, and for having let the conspiracy go so far ahead before he adopted even the feeble measure he has taken. What a different light does Judge Jones throw upon the conduct and character of Mr. Adams, and how admirably is the glory of the federal administration illustrated by the precious concession of that democratic judge, when he swears that his motive for not informing the president of the traitorous intercourse with Spain, was an apprehension that (president Adams) would have sent an army into the western country to crush the treason. Our president of this day manages things otherwise. He, good soul, and upon the utopian system so finely ridiculed by the luminous dramatic poet, the sun of the poetical hemisphere [so Burke called Shakespeare] in the following dialogue in his Tempest.
Gonzalo. Had I plantation of this Isle, my Lord Antonio —He'd sow it with nettles seed. Sebastian —Or with docks or mallow. Gonzalo —And were the king of it, what would I do? Sebastian —Scape being drunk, for the wine of wine. Gonzalo — I'th' Commonwealth I would by contract Execute all things: for no kind of traffic Would I admit; no name of magistrate Letters should not be known; no use service, Or riches or poverty; no contracts, Succession; bound of land, tithe, vineyard none; No use of metal; corn, or wine, or oil; No occupation; all men idle, all; And women too; but innocent and pure. No sovereignty:— Sebastian —And yet he would be king on't. Antonio —The latter end of his commonwealth forgets the beginning. Gonzalo —All things in common should produce

Without sweat or endeavor: Treason, fe- lony, Sword, pike, knife, gun, or need of any en- gine Would I not have; but nature should bring forth, Of its own kind, all foison,* all abundance, To feed my innocent people. Sebastian—No marrying 'mong his subjects? Antonio—None, none: all idle; whores and knaves. Gonzalo—I would with such perfection go- vern, sir, To excel the Golden Age. * Foison signifies plenty.
Wise men often tremble (says Burke) at the very things which fill the thought- less with security."—Like all the max- ims which that extraordinary man has laid down, this is confirmed by manifold expe- rience, and is particularly testified and brought home to the bosom of every man of common sense by the example of the American people. The arts with which the agents of Napoleon have for some years been lulling them into security, are the very things which more than any other make wise and honest men tremble. For so deeply rooted is the influence of France, by means of the wily practices of its a- gents, and the utter thoughtlessness of the people at large, that there is no trick how- ever clumsy, no stratagem however bung- ling, no deception however glaring, no falsehood however obvious, which is not played off successfully against them by the canker-worms of France and jacobin- ism, which have burrowed in their hearts, and are betraying or rather leading them, with their eyes open, into the pitfall of Gallic ruin.
In the short time which has elapsed, since the framing of our present independ- ent government two serious insurrec- tions have taken place. Of both of these democratic men, connected with the party in power, were, and none but democra- tic men were, the promoters and perpetrators —yet still the advocates of the faction boldly hold out that party to be the most deserving of confidence. Why? Because the conduct of that party is doing all they want or wish to have done; promoting effectually the views of Napoleon. What do they care if the country be ruined?— They are sure at last of their nestling un- der the wing of the vulture. The first of these insurrections was crushed by the en- ergy of the federal administration. And naturally enough the jacobin faction rais- ed the war hoop against the administrati- on for having crushed it. The French a- gents of France in coalition with the A- merican, endeavored to raise an army here, on American ground, to march against the territories of Spain, then in war with France. What measures did the faction pursue? Professing to be the enemies of America, did they lift up their voices against the raising of that intended American French army? No, no such thing. They aided it. They became in some sort re- cruiting officers for it. The federal ad- ministration put that down too, and again became the object of democratic execra- tion for doing so. Another insurrection is excited, striking at the vitals of the un- ion; at its honor at its entirety. As usual it originates with the democrats. But the country not having the vigilant fed- eral administration as before to guard a- gainst it, it swells into a rebellion so dan- gerous, that at this moment there are more people who think it will succeed, than there are who expect it will be defeated: and while the rebels are thundering at the gates of New Orleans, feeble patriotic ef- forts, more like the struggles of a lazy not to rise early of a frosty morning, than to the earnest resolute energies of a bold and angered government, are taken or ra- ther talked of. Meantime one thing is ascertained, viz. that the weapons were of French manufacture, and the Spanish am- bassador is allowed to have had confer- ences with the chief conspirator. Here lies the pinch then upon the French agents— How shall this evident act of perfidy and hostility on the part of France and Spain be got rid of? Why thus—Britain is in- troduced, combining with Spain. Or in other words, Spain the open enemy of Bri- tain, and the ally of Napoleon, at least its ambassador and its officers, is by a mag- ical touch of a jacobin pen, in its urgen- cy to hoodwink the people of this country, against the monstrous palpable designs of the French ruler, made to play into the hands of Great Britain, in order to dis- member not only America; but Spain it- self. This out-throds Herod. The or- thodox Gallican scribes of the union, in thus bringing Spain and England co- partners in one conspiracy, may fairly be said to cope with the Sybil, of whose pro-
phesies Virgil had made such admiral use in his fourth Eclogue.
Ipse Lacte domum referent distenta Capel- lo Ubera: nec Magnos metuent Armenta Leo- nes. Ipsa tibi blandos fundent Cunabula flores: Occidit et Serpens, et fallax herba Veneni Occidet.
Which Pope thus beautifully paraphras- es.
The lambs with wolves shall graze the verd- ant mead, And boys in flow'ry banks the tiger lead! The steer and lion at one crib shall meet, And harmless serpents lick the children's feet.
If in this extravagant forced association coupled with the general indecent expres- sions of joy, used by the same persons at the success of that man whose successes are the ruin of nations, and their malign- ant exultation at the overthrow of his adversaries Americans do not see demon- strative proofs of the fatal agency which that universal destroyer maintains in A- merica, it is not in the power of man to keep them from ultimate subjugation to him.
Proceedings of Congress.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, January 19.
Mr. J. Randolph from the committee appointed to carry to the president the re- solution of the house adopted on Friday, stated that the committee had performed that service, and had received for answer from the president, that he would cause the information requested, to be laid before the house.
Mr. Quincy presented the petition of James Sullivan and others, claimants of certain lands ceded to the United States by Georgia, requesting that the tribunals of the United States may be authoris- ed to try the question of right to those lands.
Mr. Quincy moved a reference of this petition to a committee of the whole house.
Mr. Eppes spoke against the reference. Mr. Quincy replied.
The question was taken on referring the petition to a committee of the whole, which was disagreed to—ayes 41, noes 54.
Mr. Quincy then moved its reference to a select committee.
Mr. D. R. Williams hoped this motion would not prevail, and that if it did not, that the petition would be rejected.
Mr. Quincy withdrew his motion, that the question might be taken on the propo- sition to reject the petition, which Mr. D. R. Williams then offered.
Mr. Quincy called for the yeas and nays on this motion.
Messrs. D. R. Williams, Eppes and J. Clay supported; and Messrs. Conrad, Cook, Alexander, Sloan, Smilie and Quincy opposed the motion, which was disagreed to—ayes fifty-three, nays fifty- six.
Mr. Quincy then moved a reference of the petition to a select committee.
Mr. Quincy advocated; and Messrs. J. Clay, Smilie, R. Nelson and Eppes op- posed this motion, which was likewise disagreed to—yeas forty five, nays sixty- five.
Mr. Holmes, from the committee of claims, made an unfavorable report on the petition of Jonathan Snowden, which was made the order of the day for Wednes- day.
Mr. Alexander submitted a bill pre- scribing the effect of records of judgments and decrees of courts of justice in one state in another state, which was refer- red to a committee of the whole on Thurs- day.
Mr. Rhea, of Ten. offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That a committee be appoint- ed to enquire into the expediency of lay- ing off and describing by certain metes and boundaries a tract of country to which the Indian title hath been extinguished, with- in the limits of the territory of Louisiana, and to include all the settlements within the said territory, and for having the said tracts of country laid off into townships and sec- tions, half and quarter sections, agreeably to the several laws heretofore made for sur- veying the public lands of the U. S. and also to enquire into the expediency of granting one quarter section to every free male white, who now resides thereon, or who within years shall actually im- prove and reside thereon.
Mr. Conrad said, before he agreed to
the resolution, he should be glad to hear the reasons for this new mode of disposing of the public lands.
Mr. Rhea said he did not suppose that on referring this subject, it would have been necessary to assign the reasons for the measure. But as they had been called for, he would state some of them. It was well known that the settlements in the territory of Louisiana were scattered—that they were two or three hundred miles apart. If the Indians should become hostile in that quarter it would probably cost the U. S. more to protect those settlements than the value of the land it was proposed by the resolution to allow to settlers. The object was to effect a settlement that would prove a strong barrier, and avert the neces- sity of maintaining a standing army. The lands on this side of the Mississippi, it was well known, from their subjection to Indian claims, would not probably be set- tled until a distant day; and this produced a necessity for forming settlements on the western side of that river.
Mr. Smilie believed this was a mea- sure that would be attended with great be- nefits to the United States. As the mo- tion was merely to refer for the purpose of enquiry, he hoped it would not be oppos- ed.
Mr. Varnum was of the opinion that even if this measure should be ultimately considered advisable, this was a very un- seasonable time for its adoption. He was not of the opinion that any considerable force would be brought to bear on the fron- tier thus proposed to be guarded.—It would be remarked that it was not con- templated for the defence of the Orleans, but the Louisiana territory. And he asked whether it would be proper to adopt it while such various reports prevailed of the existence of conspiracies against the United States in the western country. Might not the individual engaged in the combinations, on their discomfiture and return into the United States under this measure, occupy the lands thus proposed to be surveyed.
Mr. Rhea declared himself greatly sur- prized at the suggestion of the gentleman from Massachusetts. As to the suspicions afloat, he hoped they would have no influ- ence on the adoption of this measure.
Mr. Gregg hoped as the resolution con- templated an almost radical change of the land system, it would be suffered to lie for consideration.
Mr. Rhea acquiesced in this course.
The bill from the Senate, supplementa- ry to the act fixing the military peace es- tablishment of the United States, [as giv- en in our last] was read the first time.
Mr. Eppes moved to reject it.
On this motion a debate of two hours ensued.
Messrs. Eppes, Varnum, Smilie, G. W. Campbell, and Bedinger supported; and Messrs. Lyon, Talmadge, Early, Findley, Gregg, Cook, Elmer, Alexander and Tho- mas Moore opposed the motion—which was agreed to—Yeas 26—Nocs 95.
The bill then had a second reading, and was referred to a select committee com- posed of Messrs. J. Randolph, Chandler, Dickson, Gregg and Van Cortlandt.

COMMUNICATION.
The following is a copy of the return made by general Wilkinson to the writ of habeas corpus issued at New Orleans for the body of doctor Errick Bollman, and in his address to the court on the occasion, the general denounced the two lawyers* who had procured the writ as parties in the conspiracy. It appears that young Swartwout delivered general Wilkinson the original of the letter, which gave him full and complete information of all Burr's plans, and doctor Bollman present- ed the copy—Swartwout was seized, and is now under guard on his way to Balti- more. Bollman has arrived at Charleston under the care of lieut. Wilson, of the ar- tillery. Had congress suspended the ha- beas corpus act, all the conspirators at N. Orleans would have been seized, and ma- ny traitors might have been secured in different parts of the union. Young Og- den, who accompanied Swartwout, was seized, but obtained a habeas corpus, and was released. He is now at large.
* Messrs. Livingston and Alexander.
The undersigned, commanding the ar- my of the United States, takes on him- self all responsibility for the arrest of Dr. Errick Bollman, on a charge of misprison of treason against the government and laws of the United States, and has adopt-
ed measures for his safe delivery to the executive of the United States. It was after several consultations with the gover- nor and two of the judges of this territory, that the undersigned has hazarded this step, for the national safety menaced to its base, by a lawless band of traitors as- sociated under A. Burr, whose accomplices are extended from N York to this city No man can hold in higher reverence the civil institutions of his country than the under- signed, and it is to maintain and perpetu- ate the holy attributes of the constitution against the uplifted hand of violence, that he has interposed the force of arms in a moment of extreme peril, to seize upon Bollman as he will upon all others, with- out regard to standing or station, against whom satisfactory proofs may arise of a participation in the lawless combination.
JA. WILKINSON. Head Quarters, Army of the United States, New Orleans, Dec. 17th, 1806.
From the same.
We have perused a letter from New Orleans, dated December 18th, which con- tains the following interesting circumstanc- es. General Wilkinson on appearing be- fore the court, on a writ of habeas corpus, issued for the body of Dr. Bollman made an exposure to this effect, in the presence of a large concourse of people.
"Called to account for an act in which I glory, and for which I trust my country will thank me, I shall meet the conse- quences with the applause of my own breast, which I prize more highly than the hozzanas of thousands, or the popularity of the whole world. But when I cast my eyes on the movers of this prosecution— my bosom is rent by a conflict of emotions —sorrow for their depravity—charity for their sympathies; surprize at their indis- cretion, and astonishment at their audaci- ty.* I would to God I could here close the proceedings of this day. But my hon- or, my duty, and the safety of the state forbid me; it is time an universal alarm should go forth, to rouse the good citi- zen to a sense of his danger. The deceit- ful calm must no longer be suffered to im- pose on us a treacherous security. Nor shall the artifices of the confederates be longer employed to cheat the public judg- ment. Treachery is in the midst of us; treason stalks abroad; and the friends of Burr and rebellion what they ridicule our apprehensions, and scoff at our prepara- tions, with trembling solicitude implore his speedy arrival, to reward them for their apostasy and to rescue them from the goadings of guilt and the terrors of im- pending punishment."
After this address gen. Wilkinson charg- ed Livingston and Alexander with being parties to the conspiracy.
The effect produced at New Orleans by this disclosure is said to have been very striking. Considerable scepticism previ- ously existed of the reality of the plots as- cribed to Burr; but after this exposure, a general and even ardent disposition was excited, vigorously to maintain order and support the government.
* It is understood that an allusion was here meant to Messrs. Livingston and Alex- ander.
