TRIAL
OF COL. AARON BURR.
Circuit Court of the United States for the fifth Circuit and District of Virginia.
Present JOHN MARSHALL, chief Justice of the United States, And CYRUS GRIFFIN, judge of the district of Virginia.
Saturday June 13.
Mr. Burr thought it proper to mention, that his counsel had understood that a supplemental charge had been written by the court: that it had been put into the hands of the attorney of the U. S. and that it was to be shown to his own counsel before it was delivered. From the want of time, however, or from some other cause, it had not yet been submitted to his counsel. The court had yesterday requested a copy of his propositions, that they might judge of their application; and if satisfied on that point, that they might give additional instructions to the jury. His counsel had complied with the request; and though it was not possible for the court at first to have perceived whether a supplemental charge was necessary, yet it had now appeared from the whole course of the argument, that each of his propositions would come before the grand jury. If the court was satisfied on the law, they would of certainty instruct the jury on such points as seemed inevitably to come before them: But if they had any doubts on the law, they would certainly require an argument; and that he was then ready to demonstrate the truth of each of the propositions which he had submitted. He should make no remarks on the consumption of time, of which gentlemen made so many complaints: he should only observe, that three weeks ago he was ready to argue these points. But he was even willing to limit the time to be employed upon the present argument; even to a certain number of minutes; he was even willing to argue the points in the way of notes submitted to the court.
Chief Justice stated he had drawn up a supplemental charge, which he had submitted to the attorney for the U. S.; with a request that it should also be put into the hands of col. B's counsel; that Mr. Hay had however informed him in the conversation which he had just had with him, that he had been too much occupied himself, to inspect the charge with attention, and deliver it to the opposite counsel; but another reason was that there was one point in the charge which he did not fully approve. He should not therefore deliver his charge at present; and should reserve it until Monday. In the mean time col. B's counsel would have an opportunity of inspecting it; and an argument might be held on the points which had produced an objection from the attorney for the United States.
Mr. E. Randolph. Is it the wish of the court that the argument should be carried on orally or in writing?
Chief Justice. I am willing to hear the remarks on both sides in writing.
Mr. Hay objected to this method from the excessive labor which it would impose upon them either way.
Chief Justice declared that it was perfectly indifferent to him.
Mr. Martin assured the court that it was perfectly convenient to him to argue the point either orally or in writing.
Mr. Wickham stated, that the attorney for the U. S. wished to object to certain propositions which col. B. had submitted to the court; that he was ready to go into this discussion immediately; that the attorney for the U. S. preferred an argument orally before the court to one in writing; and that this was in fact the very course which col. B's counsel had first recommended. Mr. W. hoped that this supplemental charge would be given to the jury before the witnesses were sent up; that the counsel for the prosecution preferred the contrary, but certainly the most improper course.
Chief Justice observed that the court would also have wished that the charge should have been delivered before the witnesses were sent up: but that it was almost indifferent to him whether the testimony was submitted to the grand jury before or after the delivery of the charge; that it was often the custom for the petit jury itself to hear the testimony before the law was expounded; and the same practice might extend to the grand jury; so it was extremely easy for them, after they had heard the testimony to apply the instructions of the court and dis-
tinguish those parts which were admissible from those that were not so. It was not, for instance, absolutely necessary for them to know, previous to the delivery of the charge, that two witnesses were necessary to prove the overt act even before a grand jury. When the charge had been delivered, that principle would apply to the testimony which they had actually heard: and though it was desirable that the charge should precede the testimony, yet it was not so essential as to interrupt the proceedings.
Mr. Randolph conceived it far more important to give the supplemental charge before than after the exhibition of the testimony: that with one set of principles on their mind, the grand jury would frequently ask questions in one point of view, which they would not under other impressions; and that the supplemental, like the original charge, ought to precede the evidence.
Mr. Martin observed, that there was this considerable difference between a grand & a petit jury, that when any doubt arose about the propriety of testimony before the petit jury, the court would be present and ready to decide; but the grand jury has not the same aid of the judgment of the court in selecting the testimony.
The Chief Justice said that the necessity of giving a supplemental charge at this time, was not so manifest; as in his original charge he had expressed his ideas on the nature of Treason: That he stated this crime to consist in the actual "levying of war," and that of course the grand jury would have to enquire into the existence of overt acts; that from this statement, it would readily occur to the jury, that no matter what suspicions were entertained, what plans had been formed, what enterprises had been projected, there could be no treason and that without an overt act, no crime of Treason had been committed. The discussion of this question was at length waved.
[To be continued.]
LONDON, April 20.
NATIONAL FRIENDSHIP.
On Saturday last, a very elegant dinner was given at the London Tavern, by the British merchants, trading to North America to Mr. MUNROE, the minister from the United States of America.
The company was very numerous and highly respectable. Among the visitors were Mr. Pinckney, (who it is understood is to succeed Mr. Munroe) the chancellor of the exchequer, lords Mulgrave, Castlereagh and Erskine; sir William Scott, Mr. Canning Mr. Rose, &c.
Philip Sansom, esq. the chairman of the committee of American merchants, who presided on the occasion, filled the chair with great ability and to the highest gratification of the company. The day was passed with the utmost harmony and good-humor, and at the same time, with a degree of order which had seldom been witnessed on such occasions. The TOASTS were—
The King. The Queen. The Prince of Wales, &c.
And the following, from the chairman, were received with bursts of applause as particularly appropriate to the object of the meeting:
The President of the United States of America.
Perpetual friendship between Great Britain and the United States of America.
Mr. MUNROE.
Mr. PINCKNEY.
The honorable Mr. ERSKINE, the British minister to the United States of America.
Upon the health of Mr. Munroe being given, the gentleman addressed the company in a feeling, energetic speech, expressive of the high sense he had of the compliment paid to him, and the pleasure he felt at the unanimity that prevailed.
Mr. Pinckney, also, upon his health being drunk, addressed the company in an eloquent speech, expressing similar sentiments.
Before the visitors withdrew, Mr. Canning, the secretary of foreign affairs, gave the following toast:
May the British and Americans never meet on terms less friendly than they have done this day.
Which was drunk with the utmost satisfaction.
The situation in which the military affairs of the continent stood at our last dates, renders it pretty certain that a great and decisive battle has taken place ere this. Report is busy in stating the fact, and numbering the loss of the French, in killed alone, at 50,000 men; but this we do not credit. Rumor also states, that Jerome Bonaparte has been surprised and taken prisoner by the Prussians.
SAVANNAH, June 6.
INDIAN ALARM.
Extract of a letter from St. Mary's dated May 21, received this morning by a gentleman of this city.
"We are very much agitated with an Indian alarm, which, I am really inclined to think, will cause a failure of our June court. Two Indians have been down St. Mary's river, to a place called Trader's Hill, and killed a man of the name of Greene in a most horrid and cruel manner. It appears that they were well fed and treated by Greene; after which he took his seat in a shade out at the door, when they both took their guns and fired thro' him, and cut open his bowels with their knives. His wife and children we understand, were not molested in their escape.
"William Ashley and some others went after them two days since, if I mistake not; and last night, about twelve o'clock, an express came with orders from general Floyd, ordering out our troop of horse in pursuit of the offenders, and some of the foot, if necessity requires. A party of the horse, say six or eight are gone."
CHILLICOTHE (Ohio) June 4.
DISTRESSING!
A gentleman from Campaigne county informs that on the 25th ultimo, a man by the name of Boyer, who lived in that county, was murdered by the Indians. While he was burning some logs in his new ground, the Indians, five in number, came near to where he was and shot him, twice. Being only wounded by the first fire, he attempted to make his escape; but being fired at a second time he fell. The Indians then tomahawk'd and scalp'd him in a most shocking manner, and laid some peculiar signs on his back, which could not be accounted for by the oldest warriors among the whites. This melancholy circumstance has alarmed the inhabitants of the frontier counties very much; but we are happy to learn that no other act of violence has been committed by the Indians. Some supposed that they were prompted to the above inhumane and daring act, in consequence of the brother-in-law of the deceased having burned an Indian camp last spring. It is also thought that the Indians mistook Boyer for the person who had done them the injury.
NORFOLK, June 19.
Captain Haynes in the fast sailing ship Woodrop Sims, arrived yesterday in 31 days from Guernsey, has politely favored us with a file of London papers from the 23d of April to the 9th of May, and Guernsey papers to the 16th of the last month.
We have given in this day's paper as much of the intelligence by this arrival as the allotment of our paper to the trial of Mr. Burr would permit.
In England the parliament has been dissolved, and the new elections are going on with great spirit, but apparently both in England and Ireland without more than ordinary violence or tumult, except in a few instances. It is not possible for us to say what will be the result, but from the few returns that have been made, we think the new ministry have gained ground. Mr. Sheridan we observe has been forced to abandon his pretensions to Westminster, and has been returned for a small borough under the influence of the Bedford family. The parliament was prorogued on the 27th of April, to meet on the 13th of May; on the 29th of April, parliament was dissolved by proclamation, and the new parliament summoned to meet on the 22d of this month. The election for the 16 Scotch peers was to take place at Holyrood house in Edinburgh on the 9th of this month.
The official accounts of the operations of the British fleet before Constantinople had reached London, and as to the result, are published in this paper; further detailed operations of this expedition will be given hereafter. Nothing can exceed the chagrin and resentment which this circumstance has occasioned in England, and serious enquiries are talked of. From the view we have given of the subject, it appears to have been an expedition badly digested & badly executed.
We do not perceive the smallest notice of the treaty with this country in any of the papers received by this arrival; in short, the affairs of this country, respecting the treaty, are no more noticed than if there had been none made, but this we account for in the expected change in politics, which the new parliament will produce.
Affairs on the continent are detailed as far as we were enabled to give them in this day's paper, from which it does appear that nothing important had occurred between the two grand armies. The 70th bulletin, dated the 9th of April, at Finckenstein, is the latest account published by the French. An account reached London the 6th of
May, that a grand battle had been fought in which Bonaparte was defeated with great loss, and was wounded; this account came from Holland and Hamburg by private letters, and though not contradicted at the date of our last papers, was not much credited.
The continental journals continue to speak with confidence of peace, or at least of negotiations under the mediation of Austria, who seems determined to pursue the system of neutrality which she has adopted.
Wheat in considerable quantities was daily arriving in England from France, in neutral vessels. Prices the 8th of May, at Mark Lane, fine wheat 78s to 82s per quarter, fine flour 60 to 63s per sack of 10 quarters; the American barrel 42s to 45s. and very abundant.

TRIAL OF COL. AARON BURR.
LATEST PROCEEDINGS.
FRIDAY, June 19.
The proceedings of this day were very uninteresting in themselves and may be condensed within a very small compass.
As soon as the court met, Mr. Burr addressed them: He stated that the express that he had sent to Washington with the Subpena Duces Tecum, had returned to this city on Wednesday last, but had received no other than a verbal reply from the president of the United States that the papers wanted would not be sent by him; from which I have inferred said Mr. B. that he intends to send them in some other way. I did not meet on this circumstance yesterday to the court, under an expectation that last night's mail might give us further intelligence on the subject. I now rise to give notice that unless I receive a satisfactory intimation on this subject before the meeting of the court, I shall to-morrow move the court to enforce its process.
The Chief Justice handed down to the bar, a copy of a letter addressed from Dr. Erick Bollman to the chief justice. It was not publicly read, and for that reason Mr. Hay declared that he should not make any remarks upon it. Its contents have not yet transpired.
Mr. Burr's counsel called up James Knox and Charles Lindsay (two of the witnesses for the United States) who had drawn up depositions on which it was intended to ground the attachment against general Wilkinson. Mr. Hay interrupted the motion—by stating that he himself had a motion to make, to the court, and that was for leave to send up such written interrogatories to the grand jury as he thought proper to be put to certain witnesses. His reason was that some of these witnesses would voluntarily depose to as little as possible; that the grand jury might not always know the particular questions to be proposed to them respectively, and to what point to shape their enquiries; that he himself better knew what they would say, (having seen their depositions) and that his interrogatories might probably aid the jury in their investigation.
Mr. Martin. I shall object to this motion, unless it is qualified.—We cannot send up our witnesses to the grand jury but we may send up our interrogatories—We will assent to the motion of the attorney for the United States, upon the condition that he will assent to ours.
Some conversation ensued upon the motion for an attachment; when the chief justice asked, if the papers could not be put into his hands and the argument take place to-morrow. He wished to consider the question before it was discussed.
Mr. Hay approved of this course: It would prevent the public exhibition of these affidavits, which were drawn up for the sole purpose of detaining general Wilkinson; he would say nothing about the quarter or the persons from whom they came; or the deadly hatred which they had conceived against him; that he had merely glanced his eye at an expression in one of these papers, which was as impudent a falsehood as ever malignity had uttered: the court might compare these papers with the law and determine whether they would justify an attachment or a rule.
Mr. Randolph spoke at considerable length.—He was disposed to postpone this subject till to-morrow, but from the

moment when he heard Mr. Hay's anti- pating speech he was opposed to all delay. He had produced documents to support his motion and yet according to Mr. Hay it was dictated by nothing more than the policy to defame general Wilkinson. Mr. Hay had wandered into the very error which he had charged to us. He had call- ed upon the court to defend the character of general Wilkinson the defender of his country who is to come through the fiery furnace purer than gold; and yet he has himself charged the witnesses now before the court with malignity and rancor.
Mr. Bots Why do gentlemen object to the present motion being heard, when they have so often insisted upon their own right to be heard by the court? Why do they reproach us with shrinking from the evidence, when they are now attempting to screen their favorite witness gen. W. from a fair investigation of evidence? Does Mr. Hay desire that the character of these men should be immolated to this saviour of his country. The constitution has re- cognized the equality of man. Tho' these gentlemen may not be tricked out in the guise of military pomp: their rights as ci- tizens and the respect due to their charac- ters are the same with those of any other man.
Mr. M'Rea at some length expatiated upon the impropriety of animadverting at this time upon the character of Gen. W. The court had already said that no step should be taken, which would affect the justice of the case; and it was therefore much better for the court to pursue the suggestion which they had thrown out; to examine the papers in private and see whe- ther the affidavits were relative to the point, than to prejudice the justice of the case by a public exhibition of these affida- vits.
Mr. Wickham protested against the se- cret tribunal to which gentlemen wished to resort, for stifling enquiry and murdering character. The gentlemen who have made these affidavits are upon their oaths. Is it right for the U. S. counsel to charge them with perjury?
Mr. Hay denied having made any such assertion. He had merely alluded to one expression in their affidavits, which was too monstrous to be believed. But why all this feeling on the present occasion, when gentlemen have so often charged Gen. W. with perjury?
Mr. Martin When did we charge him with any other perjury than that of violat- ing the constitution which he had sworn to support? Is not this notorious? Are not Swartwout and others here to prove it? We did not say that gen. W. was ready to perjure himself; but merely that he had every thing now at stake, and would go almost all lengths to hang col. B.
After some other discussion, Mr. Burr agreed to place the papers into the hands of the court, and to wave his motion till to-morrow.
Chief Justice. Reduce the motion to writing.
Mr. Burr. It is only upon the affidavits of Knox and Lindsley to move for a rule to show cause why no attachment should issue against G. W.
Mr. Martin hoped that as col. B. had proposed his motion, the attorney for the U. S. would postpone theirs.
Mr. Hay refused upon the ground, that the witnesses were now before the grand jury, and that his interrogatories would be necessary to direct their enquiries.
Mr. Burr. I instructed my counsel to consent to this motion, upon the condition that I should also be permitted to send counter-interrogatories.
Mr. Hay did not feel himself at liberty to acquiesce in such a proposition. He would rather trust to the distinguished in- telligence of the grand jury.
Some conversation ensued upon the form of the motion relative to the attach- ment. The attorneys for the U. S. insist- ed upon a specification of the conduct for which it was to issue. Why not insert that it was to be for a "contempt of the court?" why not particularize the very circumstances in gen. W.'s life which con- stituted this contempt?
Mr. Burr said that the specification was to be found in the two affidavits; and that it was from delicacy to gentlemen he had not attempted to make these affidavits mat- ter of record by introducing them upon the face of the motion.
The motion was at length amended by introducing words to the following effect: 'for a contempt, in obstructing the admi- nistration of this justice of the court.'
The court adjourned till to-morrow 11 o'clock.
SATURDAY, June 20. The court was opened about one quar- ter after eleven.
Mr. E. Randolph. We are about to pro- ceed in the motion of which notice was giv- en yesterday.
Mr. Hay stated to the court, the answer which he received from the president of the U. S. He read the president's letter to him, as likewise a letter from Mr. Smith, the secretary of the navy, containing an authenticated copy of the order, relative to col. Burr. He read also a letter from the secretary at war, relative to the same busi- ness.
Mr. E. Randolph. We now proceed on our motion, sir. May it please your ho- nors, I am now about to submit to your attention, the motion which was noticed yesterday. The general purport of this motion, sir, is to award a rule against ge- neral Wilkinson, to shew cause why an at- tachment should not issue against him for improper conduct, relative to certain wit- nesses brought forward in this case. Whe- ther, sir, we shall be again charged with an intention to injure the character and con- duct of general Wilkinson, I know not; but of one thing I am confident, that this is very remote from our design. Sir, we are possessed of nothing but plain facts to constitute the grounds on which we have founded this motion. We rely, sir, only on plain facts to support the purport of this motion, and to remove those prejudices, which may be afloat against us. We only hope, sir, that the public will be satisfied of the propriety of guarding the independ- ence and free will of witnesses in all judi- cial proceedings. If general Wilkinson shall be incidentally affected by the legal consequences and doctrines from the con- sequences which may arise from the present investigation, he cannot complain. He has no reason, sir, to complain of whatever consequences which may result from his own conduct. It is due, sir, to the U. S. it is due to the witnesses in question; it is due to the persons accused, that any ob- struction which may have been made by the head of military authority, to prevent the course of evidence in this case, should be exhibited. Sir, we shall charge gen. Wilkinson with specific acts, committed with the express design of thwarting the defence of the accused. He is to reply by legal evidence, and not by protestations of innocence to these facts, which we shall exhibit against him. I prefer this course, sir, because after so many criminations from the counsel against us, for improper and unnecessary waste of time, we may not again be accused of the same crime— and I hope, sir, no more time will likewise be wasted by these gentlemen in extraor- dinary eulogies, on the extraordinary merits of gen. Wilkinson. There may perhaps, sir, at a future period be occasion for them to bring forward their panegyrics on the character of general Wilkinson. There may perhaps, sir, be a time which will re- quire all the force of their rhetoric, and all the lustre of his talents, to defend his con- duct. It may be as well, sir, that the beams of his glory may not now be unnecessarily dissipated.
The ground, sir, of our charge is this, that general Wilkinson who is now before the court, in a case before him and the accused, has deliberately used improper means with the witnesses who had been summoned on the part of the prosecution, and in consequence of the abuse of milita- ry authority, witnesses were brought for- ward to this place. This is our ground sir—I have mentioned general Wilkinson alone, because we wish merely to have the principle determined. The affidavits sir, upon which we found our motion, are those of lieutenant Knox and Chancellor Lindsay."
Here Mr. Randolph began to read the affidavit of lieutenant Knox, when he was interrupted by Mr. Hay, who opposed its reading. An argument of some length then took place between the counsel on both sides, whether the affidavits should be read, or the witnesses examined in open court. The court decided for the latter measure. James Knox was then called.
Mr. M'Rea proposed, that the examina- tion should be deferred for a short time un- til general Wilkinson himself was present. He was then Mr. M'Rea observed before the grand jury.
Mr. Martin opposed the delay in this stage of the business; as general Wilkinson and his counsel, could take no part in the business at present, it being only a rule to shew cause why an attachment should not issue.
Mr. M'Rea supposed the counsel on the prosecution, ought to be present, and ought to be in this stage of the motion—and said, with the leave of the court, they intended to put some questions themselves to the witnesses. He believed he could satisfy the court, that there was no just foundation for the present motion.
Mr. Martin said he thought he had as- signed a very satisfactory reason, why there should not be any delay. He confessed they were in court, and never denied this; but in legal contemplation, they cer- tainly were not in court.
Mr. Wirt advocated the propriety, and the expediency, not the right that general Wilkinson should be present.
Mr. Martin said they had no more busi- ness to interfere in the present motion, than the counsel for colonel Burr, had to inter- fere with the witnesses before the grand jury. He therefore hoped the court would not agree to a delay.
Colonel Burr said he wished by no means even to exclude general Wilkinson at the present stage of the motion, or even for producing testimony on the present motion although it was irregular.
Mr. Hay asked if that declaration decid- ed the question. The concession of colo- nel Burr to wait for general Wilkinson and for privilege of putting questions to the witnesses. He therefore moved that this business stand over until the general be discharged from the grand jury.
Mr. Wickham said he had no objections for a delay provided Mr. Hay would name another day when the question should proceed.
Mr. Randolph said the course of the busi- ness caused him to vary his motion and in place of a rule he would move at once for an attachment.
It was therefore agreed that the motion be deferred until Monday.
The court then adjourned.
FROM HAYTI.
Port-au-Prince, June 4. "I calculate, in a month, Petion will entire- ly subdue the north, as almost every day brings an account of an additional success o- ver the enemy. The fort Laychaye, contain- ing two generals and 3,000 men, was taken ten days since, by the army under his command; and Gonaives surrendered to the soldiers, that went in a fleet of English and other vessels from hence. We are now anxiously waiting to hear of their equal success against St. Marc: after which there is nothing that will stop them until their arrival at the Cape, which, no doubt, they will soon conquer, as both one and all resolve to completely subdue the north, or perish in the attempt."
