TRIAL OF COLONEL A. BURR.
MOTION FOR COMMITMENT.
EXAMINATION OF EVIDENCE.
[CONTINUED.]
SATURDAY, October 3.
ELIJAH JONES Was called on the part of Mr. Blennerhassett.
Mr. Wickham. Will you relate the conversations and transactions that passed between Mr. Blennerhassett and yourself? The counsel for the prosecution objected to this question. Could the declarations of Mr. Blennerhassett be considered as evidence?
Mr. Wickham enquired whether the declarations previous to the act alleged as an offence, might not be received as evidence?
Mr. Blennerhassett observed that his declarations had been frequently quoted and urged against him, particularly in relation to the Mr. Hendersons. Had he not the same right to quote his own declarations, when they were brought forward for his vindication?
Chief Justice. Any person who accompanied Mr. Blennerhassett may be considered as a competent witness.
Mr. Hay. Did you then go down the river?
Witness. I did not. Q Did you agree to go with Mr. Blennerhassett? A There were no articles of agreement between us, though I agreed to go. There was, however, nothing binding and I did not go.
Mr. Hay. How easy would it have been for Mr. Blennerhassett to have made certain propositions to this gentleman, for the express purpose of keeping his real objects out of view?
Chief Justice. What prevented your going?
Witness. Because Mr. Blennerhassett went off before the time that was appointed. If he had remained, if the boats had been finished and not stopped, I certainly should have gone.
Chief Justice. Proceed with your evidence.
Witness. In the fall of 1806, I called on Mr. Blennerhassett at Marietta to know on what terms I could go down the river with him. He said that I should be furnished with liquors and provisions, when going down the river, and that at the end of the journey I should receive 100 acres of land: yet still the engagement was to be no ways binding upon me, and I might leave him whenever I was dissatisfied. I mentioned there was a rumor in circulation that there was something else in view besides the settlement of Ouachita; and that his designs were hostile to the U. S.; if so, he had better inform me at once, for if he took me with him under such circumstances, he would take an enemy. He said they were not hostile to the U. S. I asked him if they were obstructed by a party in descending the river if they would defend themselves? He replied, that he would not resist the constituted authority or persons lawfully authorized to stop him; but if they were not lawfully authorized, the laws of the U. S. would bear him out in resisting. He observed, that those who went on the first to settle lands, would have the most, as he would do the most to help them.
Mr. Wickham. Then your agreement was, to leave Mr. Bl. whenever you pleased? A It was. Q Was the president's proclamation received before their departure? A I think it was not till afterwards, though I am not positive.
Chief Justice. Mr. Woodbridge said, that it was not received till Friday afterwards.
Cross-Examined.
Q At what time, did he say that he should leave the island? A Different times were stated. He intended to have started earlier than he did, but col. Barker did not finish the boats in time. He then said that he should start as soon as they were finished. Q Did he positively deny that he had any hostile designs against the U. S.? A He did deny it. I told him if he had any designs hostile to the U. S. he had better tell me at once, and not take me in: for if he did, he would take an enemy. He lifted up his hands to heaven and said he had not.
Mr. McRae. Did he say that you should receive information of the object of the expedition at the mouth of Cumberland?
A Yes: that I should get such satisfactory information at the mouth of Cumberland as would confirm me in my resolution to go on: I asked him if col. Burr was to meet him down the river. He said it was probable, but he did not say where; but he seemed to speak of the mouth of Cumberland as being the place where he was to meet him.
Mr. Blennerhassett. Did I not observe that information would also be given to you at Limestone, or the Falls, and at other places down the river? A Yes. You said that I should get better information than I had received at Marietta. Mr. Bl. Did you not understand that the farther you went down the river, and the nearer you got to the Ouachita land, the better information you would receive about that land? A I understood from you that I would receive such satisfactory information down the river, as would determine me to go on.
Thomas Bodley.
Col. Burr. Do you know of my purchases of land of col. Lynch? A I do. I think in the month of September 1806, while col. Burr was in Kentucky he and col. Lynch came to my office. I was clerk of the circuit court in Kentucky, and mine was an office of records. They stated to me that they were making a contract for land, and asked me to draft a deed for them. I was at that time much engaged myself; I made a memorandum of the terms which they explained to me, and directed one of the young men in the office to draft a deed. The deed did not please them and another was drafted, which was recorded in the office of Wm. Todd, Notary public. After the deed was drafted they showed me the plot of land, and col. Lynch told me that he had sold his interest or part of his interest in the Ouachita grant—that col. Burr had settled a part of the purchase money with Mr. E. Livingston and had received the balance in Kentucky bank bills and drafts on New York.—A part of the bills I myself received from col. Lynch in payment of a debt.
Mr. Burr. About that time was there not a great deal of conversation about a Spanish war? A There was a great deal. Q Were not expeditions against the Spanish territories a very common topic? A The Spanish war was frequently talked of at musters. War was considered as inevitable; and it was said to be so stated in letters from the commander in chief on the Sabine.
Mr. Burr. Was there not a general ardor on the subject, especially among the younger part of the community? A There was. There was a great zeal in some parts of the country. A great many expressed a willingness to join in the war—There are many young men in Kentucky at any time ready to engage in a war that is authorised by the government, and particularly in one with Spain.
Cross-Examined.
Mr. Hay. Is it customary to have deeds recorded in a notary office? A It is, when the deed is to go to a different state.
Mr. Hay asked Mr. Wickham if there was not a copy of that paper in court.
Mr. Wickham replied that there was not.
Mr. Hay. As the paper has been mentioned it is better to produce it in court.
Mr. Burr. As gentlemen had said my purchase of Ouachita land was all pretence, I wished to show that money had been paid on that transaction. I did not come here with my deed to establish a title.
Mr. McRae to Mr. Bodley. Did you see the deed? A I saw the original. It is now on record, and I recollect its contents.
Mr. McRae. How much land was this deed for? A I am not certain about the number of acres; but the impression on my mind is that it was for 300,000 acres.
Mr. Hay did you not understand from the part col. Burr had expired for complying with the conditions of Bastrop's grant? A I understood it had been so from a default of the government, but that it had afterwards renewed the grant. Q Was this transaction with you before or after judge Todd was consulted?—A It was one or two years after the consultation.
Mr. Wirt. Did you see the original Spanish grant? I am not certain. I saw many papers recorded in my office, but I am not certain whether that was among them. I saw a copy in the hands of col. Lynch.
Mr. Hay. Did col. Lynch ever show you any grant transferring Bastrop's title to him? A I do not think he did.
Mr. Wirt. On whom were the drafts on N. York drawn? A On George M. Ogden.
Mr. Burr. Had we any conversation about a Mexican expedition? A Yes, fre-
quently; and frequently he spoke about Spanish war. He spoke several times on this subject to me and others. He tho't if there was any war with Spain, that it would be the interest of the United States to carry an expedition into Mexico. He said that he himself would willingly engage and asked me whether men could be got in Kentucky to embark in it. I told him I thought they could.
Mr. Hay. Did you make any contract with col. Burr for flour? A He said that he was going to settle the Ouachita land, and in the event of a war, he would stipulate with his men to go against the Spaniards, and that then he would take from me a quantity of flour, not exceeding two boat loads.
(To be continued.)
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Tuesday, November 3.
Mr. Poindexter said, that a memorial from the legislature of the Mississippi territory, was presented on the 27th of January last, praying for a revision and amendment of the land laws, and for an extension of the right of suffrage. He wished to refer these subjects to distinct committees, and for this purpose moved the following resolution:
Resolved, That so much of the memorial of the legislative council and house of representatives of the Mississippi territory presented to this house on the 27th day of January, 1807, as relates to the several acts of congress "regulating the grants of land and providing for the disposal of the lands of the United States south of the state of Tennessee," praying that the same may be revised and amended, be referred to the committee on the public lands, and that the said committee have leave to report by bill or otherwise.
Mr. Pickett doubted the propriety of the proposed reference, empowering the committee to report by bill. He wished the subject of this memorial to take the usual course.
Mr. Poindexter said he would explain the reasons why he proposed this specific resolution. Had the gentleman heard the memorial read, he would have observed it embraced a variety of subjects, a part of which would be properly referred to the committee on public lands; but another part he should propose to refer to a select committee: for, if the whole memorial were referred to the committee on public lands, it would be found that they could not act upon certain parts of it. That the whole might be in a state of progress, he thought it necessary to divide the subject. Should this resolution be agreed to, he should propose another in relation to the right of suffrage.
The reading of the memorial was called for, which was read accordingly.
Mr. Pickett said, that from the information given by the gentleman from the Mississippi Territory, he was willing the business should take the course which he had proposed.
The reference was agreed to.
Mr. Poindexter then moved the following resolution:
Resolved, That so much of the memorial of the Legislative Council and House of Representatives of the Mississippi Territory, as relates to the extension of the right of suffrage in said territory, be referred to a select committee, and that the said committee have leave to report thereon by bill or otherwise—Agreed to, and that the committee should consist of five members.
The Speaker laid before the house a communication from gen. Wm. Eaton, inclosing the translation of a memorial from Hamet Caramelli, ex-bashaw of Tripoli, stating, that, from attaching himself to the service and interests of the U. S. he had suffered great injury. That he had relied on the promises of the officers of the U. S. for remuneration, the non-performance of which had reduced him to the greatest difficulties—Referred to a select committee of seven members.
The Speaker laid before the house the memorial of Duncan McFarland of North Carolina, accompanied by several documents, complaining of the undue election of John Culpiper and praying that his seat may be vacated in his favor—Referred to the committee of elections.
Mr. Cook said, that in the year 1799 a port of entry was established for the port of Thomaston, in the district of Waldoborough, which had been found altogether unnecessary, and the money paid to the surveyor, was so much lost to the U. S. He should therefore move the following resolution, to effect the purpose he had in view.
Resolved, That the committee of commerce and manufactures be instructed to enquire into the expediency of abolishing the office of surveyor of the port of Thomaston, in the district of Waldoborough, and that they report by bill or otherwise. Agreed to.
Mr. Thomas moved that the bill which was before the House last session on the subject of the post office and post roads, which was indefinitely postponed, with petitions which had been presented on that subject, should be referred to the committee appointed to consider this subject at the present session.
Mr. Dana doubted the propriety of referring a bill of last session to any committee of this house.
Mr. Thomas said that the post office committee was empowered to report on any bill or otherwise; that the bill proposed to be referred to them, was the report of a former committee, and a part of the unfinished business of last session. The propriety of establishing different roads had been considered; and it would probably save the present committee much trouble to have the report before them.
Mr. Dana wished, if the gentleman had any precedent in view, that he would produce it. For his part, he believed the proposition perfectly a novel one.
Mr. W. Alston said it would be improper to refer a bill of last session. What he enquired, would the committee do with the bill thus referred? They must dispose of it in some way. When a former report is referred to a committee, it may be made part of the report of such committee; but they cannot make a bill of last session a part of their report. The committee would doubtless cast their eye over the bill in question, without making any direct reference of it, and would make such use of it as they might think proper.
Mr. Newton proposed a division of the question. There could be no doubt of the propriety of referring the petitions presented at the last session.
Mr. Thomas had no objection to modifying his motion, and to omit the reference of the bill.
Mr. Ely could see no reason why all the applications made at the last session for alterations in the post roads should be referred to the committee of the present session. Many of those applications might not now find any gentlemen to support them. He thought the better way would be for members to bring forward such alterations as they might wish without reference to what had taken place last session.
Mr. Thomas withdrew his motion and proposed a resolution instructing the post office committee to enquire into the expediency of establishing a new road in a certain part of his district.
Messrs. Lewis, Swart, Storey, Rhea (T) offered similar resolutions which were agreed to.
Mr. Porter moved that the petition of Mary F. Hibbs of Pennsylvania, presented at a former session, be referred to the committee of claims.
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, Oct. 6
The capture of the enemy's privateer Janna Richard by the Windsor Castle Packet, mentioned in our paper of Saturday on which day they arrived here, with a comparative degree, even rank among the most gallant achievements of our navy, and truly deserves every encomium that can be bestowed upon it. The disparity of force between the two vessels put this brilliant action in the clearest point of view, and serves further to establish the general reputation of our seamen; while it results great credit upon the cool and collected courage of Mr. Rogers, acting captain, as well as on the steady, good conduct and discipline of his crew. The Windsor Castle carries four 6 and two 4 pounders, and 28 men; the privateer six 6's and one long 18 pounder amidships, worked on a traverse, and 93 men. The action, from its commencement, (which was on the part of the enemy at long shot) to its close, was nearly three hours, but it was in a hard fight of about 20 minutes, yard arm and yard arm, that the victory was gained. The enemy ran on board the packet and hung on her grapples, and with her musketry and traverse guns did her much injury; but captain Rogers availing himself of the height of his quarters, kept up so galling a fire of musketry, that the enemy was foiled in every attempt to throw his men on board, numbers of whom were picked from her shrouds and acting in their efforts to get over.
One of the quarter deck guns of the packet being also brought to bear fore and aft on the enemy, the captain ordered an additional charge of one hundred muskets, which were poured in upon her with a dreadful slaughter, that her deck was

fully covered with killed and wounded, and such a general panic given the whole crew, that the remainder fled from their quarters—Capt Rogers with equal presence of mind and promptitude, seized the occasion, and with five men only, leaped on board the enemy, who were instantly secured by battering down the main hatch, and guarding the fore scuttle; from whence they were ordered up one at a time, and secured with their own irons, which they were compelled to produce. The loss of the packet in this bold and gallant affair, was three killed and ten wounded; that of the enemy 33 killed and 31 wounded; which even still gave her a superiority of numbers over the original complement of the packet, and more than double that which remained after their surrender!—The mizen mast of the Windsor Castle is much disabled, and her sails and rigging nearly cut up; the privateer is but little injured in either hull or rigging, and is a remarkable fine schooner, and has been one of the most successful of the enemy's cruizers.
Gazania Daily Advertiser.
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6.
Captain Foster from Malaga, who arrived in the outer harbor of Boston on Thursday, in a short passage, says, it was reported there that the French troops were to occupy the ports of Spain. Such may be the pretence, to conceal the design and preparation for an attack on Gibraltar.
A report of the surrender of Copenhagen had reached Malaga.
On Tuesday last the legislature of New Jersey assembled at Trenton. Ebenezer Elmer, Esq. was elected vice president of the council and of the state, and James Linn, Esq. secretary. The house of assembly re-elected James Cox, Esq. speaker, and James J. Wilson, clerk. On Fri. last a meeting of both houses took place, when Joseph Bloomfield, Esq. was re-elected governor.
Extract of a letter from Londonderry, dated Aug. 25, 1807.
"We are all here seriously alarmed for fear of a war with America, and we wish most fervently the dispute may be amicably settled—Indeed we have serious apprehensions that we will have some troubles in this place in consequence of the Catholic Bill being turned out of the Imperial Parliament, and the late unexpected changes in our administration. Every 8th man in the United Kingdoms is to be put under arms; this is to be done by ballot, and they must either go or pay a fine of 20 pounds for a substitute. All the permanent sergeants of the United Kingdoms, amounting to 23,000, have got recruiting orders to enlist for the army, and give five guineas bounty."
A late London paper mentions, that major general Grant has announced the discovery of the Longitude by a mathematical instrument, which shews the rate of a ship sailing continually with the greatest accuracy. This instrument is connected with others, which point out the rate of the ship, her latitude and longitude, in direct or oblique sailing.
LEGISLATURE OF VERMONT.
House of Representatives, Oct. 9. Mr. Bradley introduced the following resolution, which was referred to Messrs. Bradley, Chase and T. Hutchinson.
Resolved , That the senators in congress from this state be instructed, and the representatives therefrom requested, to use their exertions to procure an amendment of the constitution of the U. S. in such a manner as will empower the president of the U. S. to remove any of the judges of the supreme court of the U. S. upon address to him made for that purpose by a majority of the house of representatives, and two-thirds of the senate in congress assembled.
Extract of a letter from captain James Brown to the Editor of the Philadelphia Gazette, dated La Vera Cruz, Sept. 30.
Capt Weeks, of the schooner Dern, of Baltimore, in lat 28, long 69, fell in with the wreck of the sch'r Eliza from Philadelphia, bound to St. Jago de Cuba—he took one man off the wreck nearly exhausted, having had no sustenance for 5 days. This man supposes the rest of the crew must have been lost. The schooner lost her rudder while scudding in a gale, when immediately broached to, and falling
into the trough of the sea capsized. This sailor says he never saw any of the crew after the vessel upset, except, the mate; and he held on for two days, but, from fatigue and weakness, left his hold and perished.
SPANISH COMMERCE.
The port of Vera Cruz has been recently opened to a trade with or from the port of Havanna in Cuba. The importance of the trade of Vera Cruz, may be estimated by the following facts, which are stated to be made from official documents:
  The value of the import from Spain to Vera Cruz, in 1802 3 and 4, of articles of the growth and manufacture of Spain. $32,566,250   Of articles the growth or manufacture of foreign countries. 21,223,862   Grand Total, $53,790,112 
This trade must not be considered as holding out any peculiar advantages to the American merchants. The excessive duties and exactions, regularly established, and the arbitrary and capricious conduct of the intendant of Havanna, render a trade to that country by foreigners at all times hazardous and uncertain. A late writer on the subject of this trade, has remarked, that the aggregate of the duties, and other expences of shipping goods through Havanna to Vera Cruz, would with the former charge of duty, at the Havanna amount to at least 100 per cent. upon the American invoice.
(Mer. Adv.)
From the United States' Gazette.
What can the President of the U. States mean by saying in his message to Congress: "I shall think it my duty to lay before you the proceedings and the evidence publicly exhibited on the arraignment of the principal offenders before the district court of Virginia?" Now I should think it his duty not to meddle with the subject in any way, unless by the exercise of his power of pardoning.—With the exception of this power, the president has as little right to intermeddle with a prosecution depending before the judicial department of our government as the king of England has. But even if he had a right to intermeddle, we should be glad to be informed how he becomes possessed of the "proceedings and evidence publicly exhibited" in a court. Has the president had the audacity to require any court of the United States to report to him their proceedings, and the evidence exhibited before them; and has any court been dastardly enough to comply with such a requisition? We venture to say, no. What sources of information does he possess, then, which are not common to every member of congress? And what have congress to do with the subject, after the information is laid before them? That whole paragraph of the message which relates to the state prosecutions in Virginia is one of the most indecent things that ever appeared in a state paper.—Neither the president nor the congress have any more business with the proceedings and the evidence in those cases than they have with the proceedings and the evidence in the case of the man who was the other day tried before judge Washington in this city for murder on the high seas.
Perhaps a more atrocious usurpation of power was never attempted in a government of laws, than that by which Mr. Jefferson claims the right of reviewing and controlling the proceedings of the judiciary Speaking, in his message to congress, of the prosecutions in the district of Virginia, he says, "You will be enabled to judge whether the defect was in the testimony, in the law, or in the administration of the law; and wherever it shall be found, the legislature alone can apply or originate the remedy."
There is much important and alarming meaning in these few words. "You will be enabled to judge whether THE DEFECT" &c. How does it appear that there was any defect? Why, simply thus. At the last session of congress Mr. Jefferson usurped the prerogatives of a court and jury, by positively pronouncing upon the guilt of Aaron Burr. Afterwards he was put upon his trial by due process of law, and two separate juries pronounced him not guilty. Now Mr. Jefferson, assuming the position that his sentence pronounced without trial is right, and that the sentence of the court and jury, formed upon a patient and tedious investigation is wrong, infers that there is a defect, and that this defect exists either in the testimony, in the law, or in the administration of the law. Let us grant for a moment that a defect has really appeared in one of these three points; still we would ask what business has either the president or congress with it? Suppose the defect be in the testimony; that is, it was insufficient to form a conviction upon. Are congress to make provision for supplying such
testimony in future as will be sufficient for the conviction of any person who may be denounced and declared guilty by the executive.
As to the second subject proposed for consideration namely a defect in the law, it is in every respect a fit subject for deliberation. If the executive has observed a defect in any of the laws, it is his duty to state the fact to the legislature, and to recommend a revision.
But nothing can be more improper and indecent than the suggestion that the assumed defect may be in the administration of the law, and the intimation that congress ought to apply the remedy. The constitution has wisely placed between the executive and the judicial departments an insuperable barrier. In case of the highest crimes and misdemeanors in a judge, the president is not at liberty, in his official capacity, so much as to speak upon the subject. It is for the immediate representatives of the people to complain and accuse by impeachment, and for the senate to judge and pronounce sentence. The president is not known or heard of in the business. He is even divested, in this instance, of the ordinary prerogative of pardoning. What then must we think of a chief magistrate, who, because he has been disappointed in the destruction of a devoted victim of his vengeance, has dared to usurp the prerogative of the house of representatives in accusing a judge whose prerogative he had before usurped by pronouncing on the guilt of a person accused of the highest crime against the state!—If such enormities can be practised with impunity it is worse than idle to talk of the security of our rights or the freedom of our government.
TRANSLATED FROM A FRENCH PAPER.
On the 18th, the Danes made a sortie; the English were repulsed, and had 15 killed.—Two English vessels of the embarkation have been taken by the Danish gun-boats. A slight engagement has taken place at sea, between the Danish and English vessels. The English have thrown in some bombs, which have done no damage. We have succeeded in organizing in the interior of the island, a corps of 10,000 men, of which 4000 are troops of the line, and the rest of lindwern, or cultivators, formerly soldiers which are used to be exercised annually. This corps is under the command of general Carstenhiolp.
Never did a better spirit actuate a besieged army; the hatred against the enemy, and the zeal for the common cause surpasses expression. The bailiffs of the Isle of Zealand collect and send to the army horses already harnessed. In spite of all the English cruisers, volunteers arrive every day at Copenhagen. The students to the number of 600, have presented themselves to the grand marshal of the court; and united on the square of the castle, they have taken the oath to conquer or die.
Of all the scenes of oppression and tyranny which the English at this day are exhibiting to the world, none has a more obvious character than their aggression against Denmark.—They attack the capital of a king their friend their ally, who has had no discussion with them, and without declaring war against him; and what is more a king who is partial to them, for, throughout the last year, they have had no communication with the continent, but through his states. But blessed be Providence, that this horrible government is without troops and without generals.
THE REVENGE.
Two Irish rustics, finding a large cask that was cast ashore from the wreck of a ship, and naturally thinking it contained the dear usquebaugh, but which, in reality contained gun powder, were greatly puzzled how to get at the enviable treasure. At length it was resolved to use a red hot piece of iron for that purpose. As might be expected, the one who bored the cask was thrown aloft into the air by the explosion of the powder. The other seeing his companion flying in the air as he thought with a cask of whiskey, exclaimed with great sang froid—"By St Patrick, if you do not come down and give me a share, I shall inform the Exciseman."

SCOTIA'S GLENS.
By JAMES HOGG and ELIZABETH SHEPHERD.
'Mong Scotia's glens, and mountains blue, Where Galla's lilies never grew, Where Roman eagles never flew, Nor Danish lions rallied; Where skulls the roe in anxious fear, Where poves the stately nimble deer, There live the lads to freedom dear, By foreign yoke ne'er galled.
There woods grow wild on every hill, There freemen wand'r at there will, Sure Scotland will be Scotland still,
While hears to have defend her; Fear not! our Sav'reign liege, they cry, We've flourished fair beneath thine eye; For the we'll fight, for the we'll die, Nor bught but life surrender.
Since thou has watched our every need, And taught our navies wine to spread, The smallest hand from thy grey head, No foreign foe shall sever: Thy honored age in peace is save, The earnest host we'd stand as brave, Or stem the stoutest Indian wave, No heart nor hand shall waver.
Though nations join yon tyrans' arm, While Scotia's noble blood is warm, Our good old man we'll guard from harm, Or fall in heaps around him; Although the Irish help were won, And England's roses all o'er run, 'Mong Scotia's glens, and swells, and glen We'll stand as brave as auld lang syne.
