TRIAL
OF COLONEL A. BURR.
MOTION FOR COMMITMENT.
EXAMINATION OF EVIDENCE.
SATURDAY, October 3.
Chandler Lindsay again called.
Col. Burr. Do you know whether Don. Baugh, after his examination, had an opportunity of seeing his deposition? A I recollect sometime in June, he said he could recollect his affidavit given in New Orleans verbatim. Sometime afterwards he was in his chamber, and I was passing by or was in the same room with him, and saw him on the bed with a paper in his hand. I asked him if it was a copy of his affidavit; and he said yes.
Col. Burr. Did you afterwards see it in his hand? A No.
Mr. Martin. At what time did you see him with that paper? A In the month of June, previous to his examination before the grand jury.
Mr. Hay. Where do you reside? A My former residence was in Connecticut.
Mr. Hay. Where is it now? A I have no fixed place, but I expect to return to Bristol in Connecticut.
Mr. Wirt. Is that the place of your cavity? A Yes. (General Wilkinson's testimony concluded.)
Mr. Martin. You offered an extract of your instructions to lieut. Pike yesterday. Can you see them?
Gen. Wilkinson. I have now in my hand a complete copy of these instructions. If they are admitted I wish them to be read. [They were received and deposited with the clerk.] Mr. Martin asked me yesterday respecting the information which major Bruff had given to gen. Smith and Mr. Read of the senate. I have a copy of it. Here it is.
[Mr. Martin. We only want to know when it was received? A I do not recollect. It was dated on the 1st of March, 1807, at the city of Washington. Mr. Martin. Then it could have influence on your conduct at New Orleans. We do not want the paper. See note AA.]
Gen. Wilkinson said that this same major Bruff had been summoned here as a witness by col. Burr, to take revenge, as he had alleged, for past injuries.
Col. Burr asked if this was offered as testimony?
Gen. Wilkinson. No. I am sure what I can prove.
Col. Burr said that if gen. Wilkinson had any further evidence to give he would go on with it. But these appeared to be mere conversations, and he did not know whether dictated by passion or not.
Gen. Wilkinson, addressing the Judge. I stand here in a very complex character. On the one hand, summoned as a witness on the part of the U. S.; on the other, arraigned as an offender by col. Burr and his counsel. I therefore hope, that should I commit any impropriety it will be ascribed to the peculiarity of my situation.
Mr. Wickham. I asked you if you had had any communications with Timothy Kibby, and whether you had ever made any propositions to him as to an invasion of Mexico? A I cannot charge my recollection. There was a very general idea that hostilities with Spain would certainly take place. It is possible that I might have spoken to him as an officer of militia, with respect to the probable force which he could bring into the field on such an event.
Mr. Wickham. Have you ever made any confidential communications to him or to any other person on that subject? A I am not conscious that I ever did.
Gen. Wilkinson having been informed that there were no more questions to be propounded to him, addressed the judge as follows:—Upon a former occasion you will recollect sir, that reference has been had to a certain letter of which so much has been said. That letter is designated by the words said to be used in it. "Yours post marked the 13th of May has been received." That letter has been withheld under the pretext of delicacy; while we have seen it employed in the most artful and insidious manner to injure my reputation and to tarnish my fame. Sir, I demand the production of that letter. I hope that a reputation acquired by nearly 30 years of service is not to be flouted from me by the subtlety, artifice or fraud of col. Burr and his counsel. I hope, that on Monday next, you will permit me to introduce a variety of letters and documents explanatory of the insinuations and innuendoes
which are calculated to implicate me as an accessory in his plans. A member of the grand jury has been brought forward to state what my evidence was, which is an additional reason why I should be permitted to explain. It was my intention to have commenced my testimony by giving a regular detail of the proceedings of col. Burr from his first passage of the mountains, but I have been advised to confine myself to a narration of the occurrences which commenced at Natchitoches. It is now my duty to go back to that period and trace col. Burr step by step.
The Chief Justice said, that the court could not sit to hear any thing except what related to the cause. As to the intention with which gen. Wilkinson had done any particular act, he had been permitted to explain, in the whole course of his testimony. With respect to what had been drawn from Mr. Tazewell, as he understood it, there was no variation between his statement and that of gen. Wilkinson.
The papers which gen. Wilkinson wished to refer to had as well appear before the public in any other way as thro' the channel of this court.
Mr. McRae said he did not know that gen. Wilkinson had gone so fully into an explanation of the various parts of his evidence as he intended. He had understood the court to say that gen. Wilkinson might be permitted to explain himself as to any particular fact mentioned in the course of his testimony. It is the wish of gen. Wilkinson, on every occasion, to explain the motives which governed him: and if in some points he has not been so full as he intended, he hoped that the court would still hear him.
Mr. Wickham. Gen. Wilkinson must necessarily stand in a very delicate situation. Very heavy charges are brought against Col. Burr, which are attempted to be established by the testimony of gen. W. It must have been foreseen that the counsel of col. Burr, if they did their duty, would endeavor to impeach the credibility of gen. Wilkinson as a witness. But this is a common case. It is a thing which may happen in the case of every witness who is brought before the court. A witness is brought forward on whose testimony much reliance is placed. He is, of course, cross-examined to see whether he be consistent with himself; or whether his credibility can be impeached. In the present case I am certain that gen. Wilkinson has been treated with every degree of delicacy which the nature of the case would admit of. With respect to myself I am conscious of having done nothing but what my duty dictated; and of nothing towards gen. Wilkinson, as his relation would justify. We do not see the necessity of gen. Wilkinson's entering into explanations. If these are to be made, they had better be reserved for some other time, and some other place.
Col. Burr. Gen. Wilkinson has been sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. If he has not told the truth, let him do it now; and not by his explanations, interrupt the examination of other witnesses.
Gen. Wilkinson. I have received, and have now in my possession a number of letters from col. Burr of an ambiguous nature, combining matters personal with matters political; but they contained nothing which would subject him to legal penalty or legal obprobrium. I have before observed, that under the circumstances in which these letters were received, I did not feel myself at liberty to divulge their contents without the permission of col. Burr. I now ask that permission, for I feel that delicacy which others profess to feel. The letter post-marked the 13th of May has often been mentioned, and has been used to injure my character, and envenom it in doubts and suspicions. This letter, if it was written at all, must have been in answer to one received from col. B. Why has it not been produced? I challenge its production; for if it were brought forward, it would release me from all obligation to silence; and would enable me to exhibit to public view the letters of col. Burr. Sir, I am incapable of uttering an intentional falsehood; and under the solemnity of the oath which I have taken, I have no hesitation in saying, that the declarations of that gentleman (pointing to colonel Burr) that he had put the letter beyond his power and with my knowledge, is totally destitute of truth.
(AA)
Washington, 1st March, 1807.
Major Bruff communicated to S. S. and col. Reed, that judge Easton (immediately after the first number of the Western World appeared) told him (Bruff) that it was in his power to ruin col. Burr, that he had told his plans, that they were such as
had made his hair stand on end, but he had gone so far that he could not recede. Bruff told him that he owed it to himself as an honest man to inform government. That I cannot do, said E. for I am under an oath of secrecy; but you had previously taken an oath paramount to any other to your country: I cannot tell, said E. but I will communicate the whole to you, if you will come under an oath of secrecy: indeed, continued he, col. Burr told me that he had heard of you, that he had heard you was a brave man, had sense and firmness, and desired me to speak to you. I am therefore at liberty to tell you all the plans, if you will swear that you will keep the secret. Bruff refused, and advised Easton to act like a man of honor and a friend to his country, or he would hereafter repeat.
FRIDAY, October 2.
Witnesses on behalf of the accused:
(Mr. Tazewell's testimony continued.)
Mr. Wickham. [Holding in his hand a key of one of the cyphers.] Has there been any addition or alteration in this paper since you saw it before the grand jury?—A I will state my impressions. I well recollect that this endorsement suggested one doubt to the grand jury; "I solemnly swear that the numbers and hieroglyphics within, excepting those which denote the alphabet and units, "Burr" and "Wilkinson" were written by the late captain Campbell Smith, in the year 1804, 5, or 6, then acting as my aid de camp." Mr. Randolph and myself had both been acquainted with captain C. Smith, and supposed there was some mistake in the date. I recollect putting this question to general Wilkinson, "Do you think that this cypher could have been formed in 1804, 5 or 6, as captain Smith must have been dead before that time?" The general after some consideration suggested, that there must be a mistake in the date and that 1794 was intended instead of 1804. I think also that the figures 1801 on the face of this paper have been added, since it was laid before the grand jury. I suppose general Wilkinson's memory has become refreshed & more correct since his examination.
Mr. Hay. General Wilkinson was not interrogated here about the alterations.
Mr. Tazewell. General Wilkinson was asked whether this was an affidavit which he intended to swear to? He said that there was a mistake in the date specified in this endorsement, and that it ought to be 1804, 5, or 6, (as it is now put) instead of 1804, 5, and six, as it was then written.
Mr. Hay. This endorsement is not general Wilkinson's hand writing.
Gen. Wilkinson. It is the hand writing of my clerk Mr. Burling, who is here.
Mr. Hay. If Mr Tazewell is introduced here merely to show these variations, why was not general Wilkinson himself interrogated about them? He could himself have explained them.
Mr. Burr. We have not heard of these variations before. Q. Was not the year 1795 first mentioned as the date of the cypher? I do not recollect.
Mr. Baker. Do you recollect when it was represented to him that it was impossible a certain date could be correct, that he immediately changed it? A I am not certain.
Mr. Burr. Did you not understand, that the motive of his holding a correspondence with me was to draw from me my views? I am not certain that this was his language. Q. Did you understand him to say, that his object was to communicate my views to the government? A Such sir is my impression; indeed this inference from his answers was so palpable that I did not think it necessary to ask the question.
Gen. Wilkinson. Do you recollect sir, of any stipulation or acknowledgment, before the g. jury that what passed there was in confidence? A I have lately conversed with another grand jurymen, and I have now reason to believe that something of the kind did pass. You had the letter of the 12th Nov. in your hand. You read a part and paused, you observed that perhaps it was not necessary to read the whole—Mr. Barbour then said, that certainly it should be received in confidence.
Mr. Martin. You ought not to have entered into any such an engagement.
Mr. Tazewell. I beg you to understand Mr. Martin that I did not; but when I heard the letter I thought it improper to mention it, and as a gentleman sir I would not. And although I have frequently spoken of general Wilkinson's testimony, I have never mentioned the contents of that letter.
Gen. Wilkinson. Did you not understand me to say, that my expressions calculated to draw forth the views of col. Burr, particularly related to my letters in the spring of 1806? A The only letter which gen. Wilkinson spoke of were subsequent to Mr. Burr's visit to Saint Louis.—General Wilkinson thought it probable that he had written the letter post marked the 13th May; but did not positively recollect.
Several other questions were put and answered by Mr. T. which the rapidity of his manner made it impossible for us take down.
SATURDAY, Oct. 3.
Mr. Tazewell was again called by col. Burr, and asked whether he had observed any inconsistency in the evidence of gen. Wilkinson.
Mr. Tazewell said it was not for him to state what his impressions were, arising from the whole tenour of gen. Wilkinson's evidence. Indeed it was impossible for him to answer a question put in that way; if he were asked whether in any particular part of gen. Wilkinson's testimony he had observed a variance, he would answer the question. He was then asked, whether he had observed any inconsistency or contradiction in the evidence delivered by gen. Wilkinson, before the judge and that given to the grand jury? His answer was none at all. But, said Mr. Tazewell, as I have gone so far in speaking of my impressions, it may be proper for me to state what opinion I had formed. I must say, that I saw no good reason for gen. Wilkinson to invite col. Burr to the Western country.
Mr. Hay. Do you recollect whether the testimony of Swartwout coincided with that of gen. Wilkinson? A They could not be said to oppose each other in their testimony. Mr. Swartwout was examined first; and many of the circumstances to which he deposed were unknown to gen. Wilkinson.
Mr. Hay. I speak as to the conversations between Swartwout and general Wilkinson.
Mr. Tazewell. Perhaps there was this difference: gen. Wilkinson stated that in the absence of col. Cushing which was spoken of by both of them, Mr. Swartwout slipped into his hand the cyphered letter of col. Burr. Mr. Swartwout who discovered the utmost candor and frankness, in his evidence, stated the transaction in a different manner. He declared that the letter was delivered openly without any effort to conceal it.
Mr. Hay and Mr. Tazewell both stated the fact the same that it was delivered in the absence of col. Cushing? A Yes; they both stated the fact in the same way. I would not be willing to be understood that I doubted any thing Mr. Swartwout said. Altho' he appeared before the grand jury under very unfavorable circumstances, and my impressions were very strong against him; yet the very frank and candid manner in which he gave his testimony, I must confess raised him very high in my estimation, and induced me to form a very different opinion of him from that which I had before entertained.
Matthew Ellis.
Mr. Burr. What do you know of Danbaugh? Did you see him at Baton Rouge? A I did. He told me that he had just got out of prison for debt; by paying part of the debt and giving bail for the rest. Q. But what passed between you? A When I met him I was surprised to see him. He said he had been arrested at Natchez by lieut. Romsey, Q. For what cause? A As a deserter.
Mr. McRae. At what time did you see him at Baton Rouge? A On Sunday 28th of March.
Mr. Burr. What farther account did he give of himself? A He said that he had been sent down the River that he had made his escape and had demanded protection of governor Grand Pre at Baton Rouge. He said that he intended to stay there till he had got his pardon from gen. Wilkinson, which he had written for.
Mr. Burr. His pardon for what? A For desertion; he told me that he had descended the river with you at capt. Bissel's request; and that he had written to gen. Wilkinson, that if a pardon was sent to him he would come down and give information of all that he knew against you, he also put a letter into my hand for captain Bissel.
Mr. Burr. What was the purport of that letter? A To inform him that he repented leaving the garrison at Fort Massac in that manner, and to request him to support the statement he had made about leaving the fort. When he gave me that letter he requested me to put it in the nearest post office, and not to let lieut. Romsey have it. Q. What did he propose to capt. Bissel in

peace. Nearly the whole trade of the world must fall into our hands. As the Danish islands will be captured, Denmark must hereafter be furnished with West-India produce through the United States, and the Danes will also be unable to import from the East-Indies, the articles from thence which they have been in the habit of consuming.
If the Russian ports are occluded against the British, the latter will be obliged, during our neutrality to import their supplies from the north of Europe in American vessels—and some articles, which they have heretofore received partly from the Baltic ports, they would hereafter be necessitated to obtain exclusively from America. The demand for naval stores, timber, flour and pot ashes, we should presume, would be greatly augmented at the ports in Great-Britain.

Extract of a letter from Newport (R. I.) to a gentleman in Phil dated Monday, 19th inst.
"Yesterday arrived here a brig. belonging to your city, under Swedish colors, she was bound to St. Bartholomews, and three days after she sailed was captured by captain Cochrane, who took out the crew, excepting the captain, supercargo and two men, putting on board of her a prize master and 11 men and ordered her to Halifax. Three days before her arrival here, the remaining part of the crew, rose upon the Englishmen, retook the brig, and brought her into this port."
Extract of a letter from a passenger in the ship Alleghany from Liverpool for New York, dated,
"Off Sandy Hook, Oct. 24.
"Having just been boarded by the Revenue cutter, I learn that the latest European news brought by the Swift which ship sailed from Liverpool in company with us on the 9th ult. I had a ridiculous report to which the London papers gave currency, has been circulated by you, that Mr. Munroe had demanded a categorical answer to the dispatches by the Revenge in the limited space of four days; from the best information I was able to obtain, it seemed to be ascertained that no communication on the subject of dispute had been made to government on Saturday the 5th of September, and it was not certain that even on the Monday following any effort towards negotiation had been attempted. While however I am upon the subject, I will state the reports that were in circulation at the moment of our sailing—I was told by one of the most respectable merchants of Liverpool, that Mr. —, a gentleman attached to the American Corps Diplomatique has written to a particular friend at Liverpool, requesting him to call on my informant and assure him "that not precipitate measures would be taken by either government."
"The Alleghany on her passage was brought to by a British frigate, overhauled and civilly treated—the boarding officer informed that the Louisiana, from Liverpool for Baltimore, had put into Cork in distress."
FROM ENGLAND.
Although the late letters from England, speak favorably of the expected issue of our national affairs with that country, still too great confidence ought not to be placed in such information. On the preliminary points of negotiation, & the general mode of discussing them, there could have been expected no dispute or irritation; but until the dispatches, which were sent to Mr. Munroe, are fully known, any suggestion, as to the result of them, must be deemed premature. It may be thought plausible to reason thus: that Great Britain, situated as she now is, with regard to her continental neighbors; and under an administration, by no means popular or respected, would make almost any sacrifice, rather than enter on a serious quarrel with us. We may say also, that Mr. Jefferson, aware of the perishable state of his party in the event of a war or any public embarrass-
that I should be wanting. Mr. McKee. When did you receive a subpoena? A Not before I came here.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30.
MARRIED last evening by the Rev. James Muir, Mr. William Long, merchant of Martinsburg, to Miss Susanna Stewart, of this place.
A letter from London of the 5th of Sept. to a respectable merchant in this city, states on the authority of Samuel Williams, esq. late consul of the U. States at London, that the answer to Mr. Munroe's communication, on the subject of the Chesapeake was of so satisfactory a nature as to do away the apprehension of war between the United States and G. Britain, unless the war should be sought by this country.

William Canton and Mounsey Finning, two of the mutineers on board the British frigate Jason, were executed at Halifax on the 12th inst. Four others, sentenced to suffer at the same time, were respited after they had ascended the platform.

NEUTRALITY.
The British have commenced the capture of Danish vessels in the West-Indies.
