TRIAL
OF COLONEL A. BURR.
MOTION FOR COMMITMENT.
EXAMINATION OF EVIDENCE.
MONDAY, October 5.
Commodore Shaw was called by the prosecution.
Mr. Hay. Did you travel in the stage with major Bruff as he was coming to this place? A I did. Mr. Hay. Will you state the conversation which passed in the stage? Commodore Shaw. The conversation was lengthy, and not particularly addressed to me. I understood, as major Bruff stated, that a conspiracy had been organized in the Western country, at the head of which was Burr, and that general Wilkinson and several others were implicated; that he had kept a watchful eye on them; had been on the alert; and that he had a just right to know that such a conspiracy existed. He said that general Wilkinson had done him a serious injury, and that he had come on from some information that Mr. Martin had given him, to tell a long story. Q What was the drift of the conversation; that he intended to injure general Wilkinson? A The impression on my mind was, that general Wilkinson had done him a serious injury, and he was coming to retaliate; but that I cannot recollect the very words.
[The Chief Justice declared that impressions were not evidence. Witnesses must always depose to facts.]
Mr. McRae to major Bruff. I understood you to say that you were summoned from Queen Anne's county in Maryland: did you ever see the subpoena there? A No. Q What induced you to think that you were summoned there? A I own property in Queen Anne's county, where I had been making arrangements for my return from the Western country. I went to Baltimore to transact some business, where I met with Mr. Martin. He told me that if I had not come to Baltimore, he should have gone to see me. I asked him if the letter "post marked 13 of May" would be produced. He said he believed it would, and informed me that I might consider myself summoned; for that he should order a subpoena for me.
Captain Daniel Bissell called by the prosecution.
General Wilkinson. Were you a member of the court martial which sat on the trial of major Bruff? A I was. Q By whom was major Bruff arrested? A By capt. Richmond. He preferred the charges and solicited the arrest. Q How many members composed the court: their names and rank? A colonel Thomas Hunt president; colonels Cushing and Kingsbury; captains Lockwood, Bissell, Strong and Many; lieutenants Peters, Mullord, Carson, Whitlock, Richardson and Kimball. Q Was the court unanimous in their sentence?
[Some doubt arose about the propriety of answering this question consistently with the articles of war. It was waved for the present.]
Mr. Martin. Was it not some short time before the court martial, that an address to the president was handed about, which was signed by most of the officers? A I believe it was. Q Did major Bruff sign it? A I do not know that he did. I did not see his name to it. Q Did not the officers impugn the honor of any member who refused to sign it? A It has been more than two years since the address was circulated; and I cannot recollect what were the impressions of the moment.
Major Bruff said he had seen a mutilated copy of the address published in the newspapers. The address was to the president, the object of which was, to continue general Wilkinson in the office of general in chief while he was governor of Louisiana. It says a great many handsome things about his services from Canada to Florida, and the sufferings which he had undergone in the cause of his country.—[Refer to note (C). True copy.]
To his Excellency THOMAS JEFFERSON, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
SIR, It does not comport with the pride of a soldier, tacitly to behold his general assailed by unmerited slanders; or to suffer the veteran with whom we have run a LONG course of hardships and perils, to fall a victim to undeserved calumnies. The spirit of a soldier revolts against such apathy and
every man of sensibility would condemn such cold-heartedness.
We mean not to offend by this offering of a just tribute to merit; nor to derogate from the worth of the living or the dead by those expressions of our sentiments.
We have seen with horror, and have felt with indignation, the various attempts which have been made to blast the character of general James Wilkinson—some of us have served under his command twelve years, and have followed him from Canada to Florida: and all have been habituated to his command for many years, during which period, we have seen him encountering almost every vicissitude to which active military life is incited—generous, benevolent and humane—his heart, his hand and his purse are ever open, and ready to succor distress and relieve misfortune: hardy, enterprising, daring and brave, he encounters obstacles with alacrity: and is most exalted when pressed with difficulties. The ice, snow and wintry blasts of the north, the arid sands and burning sun of the south, wild mountains and morasses, present no impediments to his course, where duty calls: ready to take the lead in every extremity, he never exacts from others what he is not willing himself to perform—daring, yet vigilant and cautious, he is provident in warding dangers & resourceful in mastering them.
Let him be judged by his orders and arrangements, and military men will honor his principles and practices; rigid in his discipline, exact in his police, and indefatigable in every branch of service. He delights to comfort and cherish the sick soldier, and pays a secret respect to the laws of his country, and the rights of his fellow citizens, of which numerous instances could be quoted.
With him for a leader, we shall neither fear danger nor foresee difficulties, but shall march to battle with the assurance of victory.
The subscribers, composing the whole of the officers present at the cantonment and St. Louis, would suffer martyrdom sooner than profess what they do not believe; or proffer homage where it is not due: and with these sentiments, they hesitate not to declare that they have offered the opinions of every man of honor who carries the sword of the U. S.

THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS WAS ON THE 20th ULT. PRESENTED TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE U. S.
To THOMAS JEFFERSON, President of the U. States.
WE, the representatives of the Yearly Meeting of Friends, for the Western Shore of Maryland, the adjacent parts of Pennsylvania and Virginia, and the state of Ohio, being convened in the city of Baltimore, on those concerns which relate to our society, apprehend that we feel our minds engaged to address thee on behalf of ourselves, and the religious society which we represent.
Permit us to say, that whilst we desire to be preserved from intermeddling with the policy of those governments, under which we live; we believe it to be our indispensable duty, consistently with that Christian obligation, in relation to governments, to "lead a quiet and peaceable life under them, in all Godliness and honesty."
We feel gratitude to the Sovereign Ruler of the Universe, in that he hath influenced the councils of the general government of our country, to decide upon several important subjects, agreeably to the principles of eternal justice and right.
Amongst the most prominent of those acts which claim our approbation, we are induced to notice the evidences of thy efforts to preserve our country from the calamities and ravages of War, by cultivating a disposition, and pursuing a conduct marked with conciliation and friendship towards all nations with whom we have intercourse; thereby avoiding those grounds of dissension, which are often
the sources from whence this desolating scourge has its origin, to the reproach of Christianity. For, as we are firmly persuaded of its obligation as a religious principle, so it is our fervent desire, in regard to all men, that even the smallest germ of enmity may be eradicated. And our ardent prayer to the Father of the universe is, that through the over-uling order of his Providence, the hearts and understanding of his erring and contending creatures, may be illuminated, so to behold the excellency of brotherly affection, as to become willing to admit the spirit of universal reconciliation.
We are also bound to acknowledge those philanthropic exertions which have been used to ameliorate the condition of the Indian natives, by introducing among them a knowledge of agriculture, and of some of the mechanic arts. We sincerely congratulate thee on their progress in civilization, and the very encouraging prospect, abundantly evinced, that this truly benevolent and laudable undertaking will ultimately be crowned with the desired success—an undertaking which, whilst it increasingly obviates the wretchedness of their former condition converts them from dangerous neighbors to valuable friends.
But there remains a subject, inexpressibly dear to our hearts, which has particularly interested our feelings. We rejoice in the prospect of a termination to the wrongs of Africa—a traffic heretofore legalised in a district of our country, in its nature abhorrent to every just and tender sentiment and reproachful to humanity, to say nothing of christian principles, is interdicted by our government. For the exertion of thy influence, united with the national legislature (may we not say) to relieve our country from the complicated evils attendant upon this cruel and inhuman trade, we are engaged, thro' this medium, to testify our warmest approbation.
And may the future councils of our country yield to the influence of Him who is called "Wonderful Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace;" so that the exercise of additional acts of justice and mercy, towards this greatly oppressed part of the human family, may utterly remove the cries of oppression from this highly favored land.
With sentiments of respect, due from us to those, who, in the ordering of Divine Providence are set over us, we are thy friends.
Signed on behalf of the meeting, By GERARD T. HOPKINS, CLERK.
To the foregoing Address, the President of the U. States returned the following ANSWER.
FRIENDS & FELLOW-CITIZENS, I thank you for the Address you have kindly presented me, on behalf of that portion of the society of Friends of which you are the representatives: and I learn with satisfaction their approbation of the principles which have influenced the councils of the general government, in their decisions on several important subjects confided to them.
The desire to preserve our country from the calamities and ravages of war, by cultivating a disposition and pursuing a conduct, conciliatory and friendly to all nations, has been sincerely entertained and faithfully followed: it was dictated by the principles of humanity, the precepts of the Gospel, and the general wish of our country; and it was not to be doubted that the society of Friends, with whom it is a religious principle, would sanction it by their support.
The same philanthropic motives have directed the public endeavors to ameliorate the condition of the Indian natives, by introducing among them a knowledge of agriculture and some of the mechanic arts, by encouraging them to resort to these as more certain, and less laborious resources for subsistence, than the chase, and by withholding from them the pernicious supplies of ardent spirits. They are our brethren, our neighbors, may they be valuable friends, and troublesome enemies. Both duty and interest then enjoin, that we should extend to them the blessings of civilized life, and prepare their minds for becoming useful members of the American family. In this important work I owe to your society an acknowledgment that we have felt the benefits of their zealous co-operation, and approved its judicious direction towards producing among those people habits of industry, comfortable subsistence, and civilized usages as preparatory to religious instruction and the cultivation of letters.
Whatever may have been the circumstances which influenced our forefathers
to permit the introduction of personal bondage into any part of these states, and to participate in the wrongs committed on an unoffending quarter of the globe, we may rejoice that such circumstances, and such a sense of them, exist no longer. It is honorable to the nation at large that their legislature availed themselves of the first practicable moment for arresting the progress of this great moral and political error; and I sincerely pray with you, my friends, that all the members of the human family may, in the time prescribed by the Father of us all, find themselves securely established in the enjoyments of life, liberty and happiness.
TH: JEFFERSON November 13, 1807.
PHILADELPHIA, November 28.
Yesterday morning arrived schooner Hazard captain Burton, from Bristol, Eng. which he left October 19, and has lately furnished us with London papers to the 14th, from which we have the following.
Bologna September 6. The French have not only entered the kingdom of Etruria, but they also occupy all the ports in the Ecclesiastical States, in order to cut off all communication of the English with Italy.
Treiste, September 9. We have just received intelligence that 4000 Russians have disembarked at Venice—they are the troops which were in possession of Cattaro—they return by land to their own country and leave the ships in which they came to the French. The seven isles are strictly blockaded by the English, who take all vessels attempting to enter, without any regard to the flag they bear, and carry them into Malta.
Groningen, Sept 17. The day before yesterday arrived here, under an escort of a detachment of armed Burghers of De-foyl, an English captain, and seven English sailors, belonging to a rich Danish vessel which they, an English sloop of war had captured, but which having been thrown by a storm into the mouth of the Ems was retaken by the gun boats of the royal marine. These prisoners set out this morning for Harlingen.
Vienna Sept. 13. The exchange of couriers between our court and those of Paris and Petersburg, are very frequent. We are assured it is to settle the general measures to be pursued against England, if she persists in prolonging the maritime war. It is probable our court will adhere to those which shall be taken by common agreement against the external enemy of the continent, whose merchandize and ships will then be excluded from all the countries of Europe.
Hague, Sept. 20. We have just received a copy of the capitulation which the English were forced to sign at Buenos Ayres. The evacuation of that colony by their troops will excite the greatest joy in Prussia and Saxony.—The exportation of fine linen from Silesia and Lusatia to Cadiz, from whence they are sent to America, is a branch of commerce of great consequence to those countries. If the English were to remain long masters of Monte Video, they would inundate the continent of Spanish America with their Irish cloth. At present the Silesian and Saxon merchants, who are highly esteemed by the commercial houses at Cadiz, have the certainty that their business will not merely resume its former course, but be much better, as by the confession of the English officers themselves, the hatred of the Spaniards and Americans against the English being extreme, the connection between the two countries will become less than ever.
Every precaution is taken to prevent any vessel from introducing British merchandize into this kingdom. The measures ordered for this purpose are executed with severity, and we already begin to perceive that this merchandize is no longer to be found.
Frankfort, Sept. 22. Private letters from Paris announce that the political arrangements for Germany are far advanced. It seems that the territorial demarcation of every confederated state will be definitively marked out in the fundamental statutes, and that Germany will be divided into two great sections, that of the South and that of the North; the capital of the former will be Munich, and Dresden that of the latter. In each of

We have received the following as the purport of Mr. Canning's answer to Mr. Monroe. As this statement is altogether derived from public rumor, we should decline inserting it, but from the great importance of the subject, and from the right of our readers to be informed even of rumors so interesting, especially when credited by intelligent men.
The Note is said to state—That the British government has always claimed & exercised the right to take British seamen wherever found—That according to the modern usage of civilized nations, national vessels were not liable to search—That Great Britain will conform to this usage: That for the affair of the Chesapeake reparation will be made, and a minister sent to the United States for that purpose—No hint is given as to the nature or extent of the reparation—in the contrary it is expressly stated, that the claim of the American government is lessened by the refusal to deliver up their men, and by the president's proclamation, both of which are considered as acts of hostility on our part—that the minister sent to the U. S. would be expressly instructed not to blend with the affair of the Chesapeake either the impressment of seamen, or any other subject of difference between the two countries—the letter is in a style more haughty than conciliatory, and calculated rather to increase than lessen the sentiment of indignation so generally excited by the unprincipled conduct of G. Britain towards neutrals generally, and particularly towards the U. S.
IN SENATE. Nov. 30.
Mr. Adams from the committee appointed in the case of Mr. Smith, made a report, recommending the adoption of the following resolutions, which were agreed to:
Resolved, That the committee appointed on the 27th inst. to enquire and report the facts respecting the conduct of J. Smith, a senator from the state of Ohio, as an alleged associate of Aaron Burr, be authorized to extend their enquiries to any other facts, which in their opinion would be incompatible with his duty as a senator of the U. S. and that they be authorized to send for persons, papers and records.
Resolved, That the president of the U. S. be requested to cause to be laid before the senate such information as may be in his possession, in relation to the conduct of John Smith, a senator from the state of Ohio, as an alleged associate of Aaron Burr.
December 1
The bill reported by Mr Adams, "For the preservation of peace and maintenance of the authority of the U. S. in the ports, harbors and waters under their jurisdiction," after undergoing a slight amendment was ordered to a third reading without a division. The question was taken on striking out the 5th section which interdicts the entrance of all British armed vessels into the ports and waters of the U. S and vests the president with power to take off the prohibition whenever, in his opinion, due reparation shall be made, and lost. —Yeas 3—Nays 26.—Messrs. Pickering, Hillhouse and Goodrich voting in the affirmative; and Messrs. Adams, Anderson, Bradley, Condit, Franklin, Gaillard, Gilman, Kitchel, Gregg, Howland, Maclay, Mathewson, Milledge, Mitchell, Moore, Parker, Pope, Robinson, Smith, of New-York, Smith, of Tennessee, Smith, of Maryland, Sumpter, Thruston, Tiffin, Turner, and White, voting in the negative.

chuse to expose themselves to the vengeance of the Turkish government, till they are certain whether we intend remaining in the country or not, which our present small force renders so doubtful. Our army here is at present perfectly useless, and ought either to be augmented or withdrawn, as it is so many men lost to the service of their country, without any rational object, or end in view.
NEW YORK, November 29.
A gentleman of this city has favored us with a letter from a friend at Marblehead, who came out in the schooner Spring Bird from New-York, which place she left about the 12th October. This letter states, that there was to be another levy of 200000 men in France—that Bonaparte intended to march an army of 70000 men through Persia to India, & that the king of Persia was to furnish all the necessary supplies for the French army; that Russia and Germany were to be the mediators for a general peace; that the king of Denmark had furnished men to man 9 French ships of war that were at Flushing; and that legionary honors had been conferred on general Linniers for his able defence of Buenos Ayres. [This is the latest news from France, and coming from a respectable source, it is entitled to consideration.]
November 30.
From Curacao—Captain Leoox, informs us that on the 16th of October a gale from the south east commenced at Curacao, which continued until one o'clock the following morning, when it became a complete hurricane. The water burst into the fort, and washed away the batteries, the custom house, the ordnance office, several private houses, the walls of the church yard, & the dead bodies out of their graves. Little Curacao was for several days under water. Many houses at Peter Demoy, situated at the south east end of the town, were washed away; the point and reef batteries sustained much injury; but the shipping escaped without any material damage.
The British frigate Hebe, captain Malbone parted her fastenings during the above gale, and was in great danger of being lost.

Extract of a letter from an officer, dated at Alexandria, July 14.
"We are all daily in hope either that the army will be withdrawn from this country, or that we shall be reinforced so as to enable us to commence offensive operations, as nothing can be more tiresome and melancholy than our present confined situation, cooped up in a miserable town, without any variety or relaxation. We are well supplied with provisions by the Arabs, but we suffer miserably for the want of water; all that the troops get is so brackish, that it is impossible to swallow it without being mixed with wine or spirits. Dysentery in consequence is becoming very prevalent, and the Ophthalma has been so general, that upwards of three fourths of the army have been attacked with it."
"We frequently hear from the prisoners at Cairo; they are tolerably well treated, except in being very strictly confined—Captain Delancey, of the 20th dragoons, died lately at Cairo, of the dysentery; he is universally regretted. The Turks offered to give up all our prisoners, if we would evacuate the country—this, of course could not be accepted. Fifteen thousand men could with the assistance of the mamelukés, easily conquer the whole country; and there is no doubt but that the Mamelukés would openly declare for us, if a sufficient army was sent here, but they do not

On the 14 inst another ordinance was published relative to the privateers, and the establishment of courts for adjudication of prizes. These courts are to be established at Flensburgh, Altona and other places; in this ordinance the principle that "free ships make free goods" is laid down as not to be departed from, the privateers are strictly forbidden to bring in any ships either of friendly or neutral nations, let the cargo appertain to whom it may, if the ships papers are found to be regular, and she be not loaded with contraband of war, destined for an English port. As free ships make free goods, so on the other hand, the opposite principle that enemys ships, make enemys goods, is likewise to be acted on, unless it can be satisfactorily shewn that the cargo is neutral property, and was put on board before the commencement of the war.

The Deputies of Berlin wrote to the King on the 14th of August, and received in answer the following cabinet letter.
"The affection with which the deputies and representatives of the citizens of my good city of Berlin, in their letter of the 14th of last month, have endeavored to console me for the loss of so many brave subjects, has made an infinite impression on me. I remember my lost children with grief and gratitude; while I give my love undivided to those who remain. I anxiously expect the time when I may again see them, and do all in my power to hasten it. On this my good citizens of Berlin may rely, till I can shew myself to them in person by their gracious king."

M. de Lindholm, aide de camp of the prince royal of Denmark, had yesterday an audience of the emperor. The prince royal has decidedly refused to ratify the convention with the English. The greatest preparations are making; and if the English dare continue long in Zealand they will be expelled from it. But, faithful to their method, after having pillaged the arsenal of Copenhagen, they will return home with these trophies taken by treachery, & stained with the blood of the women and children of that unfortunate city, into which, for 72 hours, they vomited death with 40 mortars. Their bombs had rockets to carry the flames into their peaceable habitations.
