TRIAL
OF COLONEL A. BURR.
MOTION FOR COMMITMENT.
EXAMINATION OF EVIDENCE.
MONDAY, October 5.
(General Eaton's explanations continued.)
After the termination of the negotiations with the Indians, these two gentlemen proposed to reconnoitre the country, expressing much dissatisfaction with the position at Coleraine. I rode with them in different directions and at different times, and at length shewed them the position 9 miles above Coleraine which I have before mentioned, called Trader's Hill. This they surveyed as far as they could by ocular survey, and viewed it very attentively. They seemed much satisfied with it, and spent the greater part of the day there at the spring. On our return to our quarters, colonel Hawkins asked me for a copy of my letter to the secretary at war, describing the relative position of these two posts, and also what I had stated as to the situation of the other objects under my command. I shewed him that copy. He read it attentively, and making an apostrophe to me said, "I think, sir, I will now inform you that the commissioners have private instructions to ascertain the truth of certain controversies between you and certain gentlemen high in trust here; and I have the pleasure to inform you that we shall hear testimony of the truth of all your statements." I confess I considered this as a great gain, if not a triumph over those gentlemen Seagrove and Gaither; and, as such, I spoke of it.
I heard much of the observations of the two gentlemen of whom I have spoken. Seagrove said that Eaton must be got off this place; Gaither replied, "leave that to me." He could not remove me by his own order and resorted to a court martial as his dernier.
Unwilling to suffer the embarrassment of an arrest and trial, I wrote to colonel Gaither and proposed an interview.
Whether he condescended to answer my letter or not I do not remember. But I was soon after arrested on five several charges; either of which, if supported, would be sufficient to cashier the best officer on the service. I cannot give those charges in their regular order, but I can give them, with their specifications.
First general charge. —Disobedience of orders.
Specification. Disobedience of the orders of colonel Gaither, with respect to some police of the garrison, in which he had no right to interfere. But the specification was not supported, and on it, as well as the general charge, I was acquitted.
Second general charge. —Neglect of duty.
The specification, amount and result of that charge the same as the first. I was acquitted.
Q What was the specification of that charge? A Some little arrangement in the garrison as to the men.
Third general charge. —Speculation.
Specification. In paying the arrearages of bounty to some of the men of my company in goods taken from the factory; and in supplying them with certain articles of clothing. It appeared in evidence that these arrangements were with the unanimous vote of the company; and tho' much pains had been taken, but one solitary soldier could be found to say that he was dissatisfied, notwithstanding every one voted for the measure. My object was to give the men clothing suited to the climate, without any private views whatever. The same arrangement had been made by every commanding officer there, and with the approbation of Gaither. On this general charge I was acquitted.
Fourth general charge. —Peculation.
Specification. In selling public corn.
I admitted the fact, and shewed in evidence by the testimony of two commissioned officers, that this corn, about 25 or 30 bushels, was perishing on my hands, and was sold by the verbal order of colonel Gaither, given in their presence, and the avails placed in the quarter-master's hands, for the purpose of procuring hospital supplies.
Acquitted, on the general charge.
Lastly. —Fraud.
Specification. For having retained from the garrison certain rations of flour due as arrearages, and storing them in the magazine.
The fact of retaining the rations, and storing them in the general magazine, I also admitted, and shewed in evidence, that I retained them to meet a claim of the contractor, for an equal number of rations used or destroyed by the soldiers, when he had laid in provisions unfit for use. The soldiers being without corn, or flour, I sent to the contractor advising him of it. He wished me to use some damaged flour, which I refused; but the soldiers, from necessity, were compelled to open several barrels, and select such as could be used. This occasioned a considerable loss, which the contractor wished me to bear. I absolutely refused; and he instituted a suit against me. When the provisions arrived, I ordered the contractor to provide a number of rations for the soldiers equal to those to which they were entitled, when he had left them without wholesome provisions. On his refusal, I retained that number for the benefit of the soldiers, and had them stored in the general magazine. I was acquitted on that charge.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday, November 5.
DEBATE
On Mr. QUINCY's motion to instruct the committee appointed in relation to maritime aggressions, &c.
[CONTINUED.]
Mr. Blount said, that, at the moment the gentleman from Massachusetts had moved this resolution, he was in the committee room, in the act of addressing a note to the secretary of state on this subject, according to the direction of the committee, calling for a full and correct statement of all the facts relative to the aggression committed on the frigate Chesapeake. For the satisfaction of the gentleman, he would read the note which he had written. Mr. B. then opened and read the note.
Mr. Alston doubted whether the committee had power to act on this particular outrage. He did not know the precise spot in which the attack on the Chesapeake was committed, whether within the waters of the U. S. or not; if not, it was possible the resolution upon which the committee was acting, would not authorise them to make the enquiry proposed. If it would, the committee would no doubt do their duty, and make report of every circumstance of the transaction. If it should, however, be found, that the particular aggression alluded to by the gentleman from Massachusetts was not committed within our jurisdiction, a resolution something like the one proposed by the gentleman, would be proper. He should wish the subject to be referred to a select committee. The proper way would be, to go into a committee of the whole on the state of the union, and a motion to that effect might be made.
Mr. Dana thought with the gentleman from North Carolina, that the subject of the attack made on the Chesapeake was not referred to any committee whatever. The first resolution entered into, appointed a committee, of which the gentleman from North Carolina, (Mr. Blount) is chairman to enquire into "aggressions committed within our ports and waters," &c. From the message of the president of the United States it appeared that the Chesapeake had left her port. The attack on her was made in the main ocean, at the distance of more than a maritime league from the shores of the U. S. and we had never, by any act of the legislature or executive, claimed territorial jurisdiction for more than a maritime league from the shore. It was understood that this attack was made at the distance of 5 leagues; clearly beyond any sea ever claimed as a territorial sea by the U. S. It was not in the Gulf, or within any promontory or cape so as to make it territorial. This being the case, the outrage must be considered as committed at sea, and therefore not yet referred to any committee. Shall we, said he, wholly omit to refer the investigation of this subject? When that broad question was presented to their observation, he trusted there could be no difficulty in deciding it. If there were any one subject which required the particular attention of congress, it was this attack on the Chesapeake. If there were any subject on which the whole nation felt one sentiment, it was on this outrage; if there were any subject that could involve a question of war or peace, it was this. If there were any principle that needed no treaty stipulations to bind it, it was, in his view,
that a national ship of the U. S. enjoys absolute immunity. He should think an acknowledgment of our independence as necessary in a treaty, as a concession that our national ships ought to be free from search. This was a clear, prominent principle, perfectly distinct from any other; it admitted of no modification, there could be no question as to the exemption of a national flag from search. If the British government assumed a different principle, he did not see a possibility of avoiding war. Admitting all the men taken from the Chesapeake to be Britons, they had no right to take a man from a public armed ship of the U. S.
The president of the U. S. had not undertaken to detail all the circumstances attending this affair; there was no necessity for it; he could only give us general information. This was sufficient to induce us to turn our eyes to the most serious results. Wishing for peace, as long as national sovereignty and national liberty can be preserved, we do not seek for war, but it is forced upon us. He wished to disclaim all invective, and should not go into an investigation till the particular facts were disclosed: till this disclosure took place, he should say nothing of the commander of the ship which attacked the Chesapeake; but if he had acted without authority, his blood alone could atone for it.
In whatever light the subject was viewed Mr. D. deemed it of so much importance, so strongly marked in the political history of our country, that it should be clearly and correctly understood. He therefore wished the enquiry to be conducted with all the attention due to the subject; for this reason he should vote for the resolution. He had no doubt but the gentlemen composing the committee in question, would attend to this subject, but he doubted whether the enquiry was properly in their power, except that part of it which relates to violations of our jurisdiction. The British ships of war had remained in our waters ever since the commission of the act, in contradiction and defiance of the proclamation of the president of the United States, which still exists in full force. It ought in his opinion, either not exist, or be obeyed; if they did not chuse to obey it and the means of compelling them were in the power of the United States they should be taught obedience by compulsion. He conceived this subject already in the power of the committee. He concluded by saying that he should vote for the resolution, from a wish that the subject might be fully investigated.
Mr. Blount observed, that whatever doubt might exist as to this subject's being referred to the committee of which he was chairman, there could surely be no doubt of its being referred to some committee. [Mr. B. read two of Mr. Dawson's resolutions.] It must either be referred to this committee or to the committee of commerce and manufactures. If it be the opinion of the house that this subject ought to go to this last named committee he should be glad to have the determination made.
Mr. Smilie had no doubt that the resolution appointing a committee relative to maritime aggressions, of which the gentleman from North Carolina was chairman, included the attack on the Chesapeake. Indeed, it appeared from the members of that committee, that they were proceeding with the subject, and therefore needed no direction as to their duty in that respect. This being the case why is this motion brought forward? He could not help remarking that the measure was very indecorous towards the committee. Were it ever known, Mr. S. asked, that business was taken out of the hands of a committee, before it is seen that they neglect to attend to it? There is no reason to believe the committee will not do their duty. Is not every member of the committee as much concerned for the welfare of this country as the gentleman from Massachusetts? And no one will say they do not possess the necessary capacity for making the enquiry.
[Debate to be continued.]
MINUTES.
MONDAY, November 9.
Mr. Parke offered the following resolution, which was adopted, and a committee of five appointed accordingly:
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire whether any, and if any, what alteration ought to be made in the law fixing the salaries of the secretaries of the Mississippi, Indiana, Louisiana, and Michigan territories, and that they have leave to report by bill or otherwise.
Mr. Holmes presented the petition of Samuel Glynn, praying for compensation for services during the revolutionary war. Referred to the committee of claims.
Mr. Key presented a memorial from the mayor and citizens of George-Town, in the district of Columbia, against the contemplated bridge over the Potomac; which was referred to the committee of the whole to whom had been referred the bill on that subject.
Mr. Key said, that the bill for the erection of the bridge was made the order of the day for this day; as the subject was particularly interesting to the citizens of his district, and he expected that to-morrow there might be documents laid on the table which would throw considerable light on the subject, he moved that the consideration of the bill should be postponed till Wednesday.
Mr. Lewis wished that the subject should progress as fast as possible; but if additional documents were expected, he had no objection to the postponement, which was accordingly agreed to.
Mr. Key moved that the memorial which he had just presented should be printed. This was objected to by Messrs. Lewis and Upham, on the ground that no petition or document on this subject had been printed, and it would be partial to order one only to be printed, and that they could not all be printed in a reasonable time.
The motion for printing was insisted on by Messrs. Key, Nelson, and Sloan, on the ground that all the other documents had been in the possession of the house for four years, who had become acquainted with their contents; that this petition contained matter entirely new, and which could not be understood from barely hearing it read.
The motion was negatived, 56 to 46. Mr. Boyle presented the petition of the witnesses who attended on the part of the United States at the late trial at Richmond, stating that the pay allowed to witnesses attending that court was by no means adequate to the expenses which they necessarily incurred during their attendance; and praying for additional compensation. Referred to the committee of claims.
Mr. Randolph said, that at the last session, or the session before, a bill had been passed to defray certain expenses arising from the impeachment of Samuel Chase: That bill had provided compensation for witnesses only. There were several persons, other than witnesses, whom it was incumbent on the house to compensate, as marshals who served process issuing from the senate, for which there was no provision by law; there were also some services of a minor nature, which the managers had thought necessary, and which should be compensated. He therefore moved that the committee of ways and means be instructed to enquire what further appropriations are necessary to defray the expenses arising from the impeachment of Samuel Chase. Agreed.
Mr. Southard and Mr. Chandler each presented petitions on the subject of post-offices and roads, in their respective districts; which were referred.
Mr. Mumford presented a memorial from the mayor and aldermen of the city of New York, stating the defenceless state of that city and harbor, and praying that an adequate appropriation be made for its protection. Referred to the committee on the aggressions committed within our ports and waters, &c.
Mr. Smilie presented the petitions of the messengers of the register of the treasury, and of the messengers of the treasury and war departments, praying for an increased compensation; which were referred to the committee of ways and means.
Mr. Finaley made a report from the committee of elections, on the memorial of Joshua Barney, complaining of the undue election of William M'Creery as a representative from the state of Maryland, in favor of Mr. M'Creery; which was committed to a committee of the whole on Thursday next; and ordered to be printed.

Late Foreign Intelligence.
Failure of the English Expedition to S. America.
From general Whitelocke to the Right Hon. W. Windham—Buenos Ayres, July 10, 1807.
I HAVE the honor to acquaint you with the information of his majesty, that being joined at Monte Video on the 22d of June, by the corps under brigadier general Craufurd, for one moment after the arrival of admiral Murray and myself, making every necessary arrangements for the attack on Buenos Ayres, after many delays occasioned by foul weather, a landing was effected without opposition on the 28th of the same month, at Ensenada de Barragan, a small bay about thirty miles to the Eastward of the city.
Major general Levesque Gower having the command of the right column crossed the river at a place called the Passo Chico, and falling in with a corps of the enemy, which attacked and defeated it. Owing to the ignorance of my guide it was not until the next day that I joined with the main body of the army when I formed my line by placing brigadier general sir Samuel Auchmuty's brigade upon the right, extending it towards the convent of the Residencia; from which it was distant two miles. Brigadier general Craufurd's brigade occupying the central and principal avenues of the town, being distant a mile and three-quarters from the great square and fort; and the 6th dragon guards, 9th light dragoons, and 45th regiment, being upon the right and extending towards the Residencia. The town was thus nearly invested, and this disposition of the army and the circumstances of the town and suburbs being divided into squares of one hundred and forty yards each side, together with the knowledge that the enemy meant to occupy the flat roofs of the houses, gave rise to the following plan of attack.
Brigadier general sir Samuel Auchmuty was directed to detach the 38th regiment, to possess itself of the Plaza de Toros, and the adjacent strong ground, and there take post; the 57th, 59th, 60th, and 88th regiments were each divided into wings; and each wing ordered to penetrate into the street directly in its front. The light battalion divided into wings, and each followed by a wing of the 95th regiment, and a three pounder, was ordered to proceed down the two streets to the right of the central one, and the 45th regiment down the two adjoining; and after clearing the streets of the enemy, this latter regiment was to take post at the Residencia. Two six pounders were ordered along the central street, covered by the Carabineers and the third troop of the 9th Light Dragoons, the remainder of which was posted as a reserve in the centre. Each division was ordered to proceed along the street directly in its front, till it arrived at the last square of houses next the river Plata, of which it was to possess itself, forming on the flat roofs and there wait for further orders. The 95th regiment was to occupy two of the most commanding situations, from which it could annoy the enemy. Two corporals with each column, for the purpose of breaking open the doors; the whole were unloaded and no firing was to be permitted until the columns had reached their final points and formed: a cannonade in the central streets was the signal for the whole to come forward.
In conformity to this arrangement, at half past 6 o'clock of the morning of the 5th inst. the 38th regiment moving towards its left, and the 87th straight to its front, approached the strong posts of the Retiro and Plaza de Toros and after a most vigorous and spirited attack, in which the regiments suffered much from grape shot and musketry, their gallant commander, brigadier general sir Samuel Auchmuty, possessed himself of the post, taking 31 pieces of cannon, an immense quantity of ammunition and 600 prisoners. The 5th regiment meeting with but little opposition proceeded to the river and took possession of the Church and Convent of St. Catalina. The 30th and 38th regiments under brigadier general Lumsey, moving in the appointed order, were soon opposed by a heavy and continued fire of musketry from the tops and windows of the houses, the doors of which were barricaded in so strong a manner as to render them almost impervious
to force. The streets were intersected by deep ditches in the inside of which were planted cannon, pouring showers of grape on the advancing columns.
In defiance, however, of this opposition, the 36th regiment, headed by the gallant general, reached its final destination; but the 88th, being nearer to the fort and principal defences of the enemy, were so weakened by his fire as to be totally overpowered and taken. The flank of the 36th being thus exposed, this regiment, together with the 5th, retired upon sir Samuel Auchmuty's post at the Plaza de Toros; not, however, before lieutenant colonel Burne, and the grenadier company of the 35th regiment had an opportunity of distinguishing themselves, by charging about 800 of the enemy, and taking and spiking two guns.
The two six pounders moved up the central streets, meeting with a very superior fire; the four troops of the carabineers led on by lieutenant colonel Kingston, advanced to take the battery opposed to them, but this gallant officer being unfortunately wounded, as well as captain Burrell, next in command, and the fire both from the battery and houses, proving very destructive, they retreated to a short distance, but continued to occupy a position in front of the enemy's principal defences, and considerably in advance of that which they had taken in the morning.
The left division of brigadier general Craufurd's brigade, under lieut. col. Park, passed on nearly to the river and turning to the left approaching the square with the intention of possessing itself of the Jesuit's College, a situation which commanded the enemy's principal line of defence. But from the very destructive nature of his fire, this was found impracticable, and after sustaining a heavy loss, one part of the division throwing itself into a house, which was afterwards not found tenable, was shortly obliged to surrender whilst the remaining part after enduring a dreadful fire with the greatest intrepidity, Lt. col. Park, its commander, being wounded, retired upon the right division commanded by brigadier general Craufurd himself. This division having passed quite through to the river Plata, turned also to the left to approach the great square and fort from the northern bastion of which it was distant about four hundred yards, when brigadier general Craufurd learning the fate of his left division, thought it most advisable to take possession of the convent of St. Domingo, near which he then was, intending to proceed onwards to the Franciscana church, which lay still nearer the fort. If the attack or success of any other of our columns should free him in some measure from the host of enemies which surrounded him. The 45th regiment being further from the enemy's centre, had gained the Residencia without much opposition, and lieutenant colonel Guard leaving it in possession of his battalion companies, moved down with the grenadier company towards the centre of the town, and joined brigadier general Craufurd.
The enemy, who now surrounded the convent on all sides, attempting to take a three pounder which lay in the street, the lieutenant colonel with his company, and a few light infantry under major Trotter (an officer of great merit) were killed, but the gun was saved. The brigadier general was now obliged to confine himself to the defence of the convent, from which the riflemen kept up a well directed fire upon such of the enemy as approached the post; but the quantity of round shot, grape and musketry to which they were exposed, at last obliged them to quit the top of the building, and the enemy, to the number of 6000, bringing up cannon to force the wooden gates which fronted the fort, the brigadier general having no communication with any other columns, and judging from the cessation of firing that those next him had not been successful, surrendered at four o'clock in the afternoon.
The result of this day's action had left me in possession of the Plaza de Toros, a strong post on the enemy's right, and the Residencia, another strong post on his left, whilst I occupied an advanced position opposite his centre; but these advantages had cost about 2500 men in killed, wounded and prisoners. The nature of the fire to which the troops were exposed was violent in the extreme. Grape shot at the corners of all the streets, musketry, hand-grenades, bricks and stones from the tops of all the houses, every householder with his negroes defended his dwelling, each of which was in itself a fortress, and it is not, perhaps, too much to say, that the whole male population of Buenos Ayres was employed in its defence.
This was the situation of the army on the morning of the 6th instant, when general Liniers addressed a letter to me, offering to give up all his prisoners in the late affair, together with the 71st regiment and others taken with lieut. gen. Beresford, if I desisted from any further attack on the town, and withdrew his majesty's forces from the river Plata, intimating at the same time from the exasperated state of the populace, he could not answer for the safety of the prisoners if I persisted in offensive measures. Influenced by this consideration (which I knew from better authority to be founded on fact) and reflecting of how little advantage would be the possession of a country the inhabitants of which were so absolutely hostile, I resolved to forego the advantages which the bravery
of the troops had obtained, and acceded to the annexed treaty, which I trust will meet the approbation of his majesty.

To the Public.
I went last evening in company with a gentleman of my acquaintance to visit the young Lady born without hands, and with only three toes on one foot, who is displaying her surprising ingenuity and dexterity in cutting watch papers, embroidering large flowers fit for framing, &c. &c. at Mr. Hodgkin's King-street Alexandria—On entering the apartment, I experienced a peculiar sensation of feeling; but how shall I describe my astonishment, when a face blooming as that of Hebe, presented itself to my view! Instead of beholding a sight imperfect in the extreme, as I had erroneously imagined would be the case, I surveyed a countenance fair as the opening rose when be-spangled with the morning dew! When we reflect on the peculiar natural genius of this young Lady, the inappreciable manner in which she performs her accustomed employment, and the extraordinary sweetness and vivacity of her disposition, we cannot but admire the marvellous works of an incomprehensible God, who sometimes in depriving mortals of certain invaluable benedictions, dispenses to them others, in such vast profusion, without enjoying the perfect use of any one limb, but all having degenerated greatly from the natural disposition of their parts. She appears not in the least to repine at these several imperfections; but possessing a pious resignation with which she meets her peculiar fortune.—In her we behold a countenance serene and tranquil as an unclouded April morn, when Phoebus's golden rays are emerging from the horizon of the east; a melancholy trait which mingles with the brilliancy of her affable disposition, renders her appearance doubly interesting. With one part of a pair of scissors, which she held in her mouth, and a piece of paper held between her toes, she cut a watch paper in ten or twelve minutes, and apparently with as much ease and facility as though she possessed the full and perfect use of every limb.
Let not the unfavorable idea you may have improperly anticipated in any measure dissuade you from visiting this young Lady, and contributing your mite from the stores of wealth you have received from the munificent hand of Providence—You will then enjoy the unspeakable pleasing reflection, that you have been instrumental in extenuating the pang of the unfortunate, and of discharging one of the principal duties of a Christian; this you can never regret, and for which you will ultimately receive ample remuneration.

GREAT BARGAINS. INTENDING to remove to the state of Tennessee as soon as possible, I wish to dispose of the following valuable and increas- ing property upon low terms, which property I inherited from my ancestors, who have had a legal title to the same for upwards of one hundred years.
One tract well known by the name of Abingdon, being on the Potomac river between Alexandria and George Town, and nearly opposite the city of Washington, beau- tifully situated, containing about Four Hun- dred acres, now leased to the Mr. Wises for three hundred and sixty dollars per annum with other stipulations contained in the said lease.
One other tract contiguous to the first, leased to William Fraser for forty dol- lars per annum, containing about sixty a- cres.
One other tract containing ten acres of bottom land, adjoining the Four Mile Mill tract.
One other tract contiguous to the Abingdon estate, and within two and a half miles of George-Town, containing 725 acres. The greatest part of this land is heavily co- vered with red and white Oak.
ALSO, Three thousand acres on the Scioto River, in the state of Ohio.
This tract descended to me from my uncle George D. Alexander, being one moiety of the land he was entitled to for his military ser- vices during the revolutionary war. All the title papers with the wills under which I am entitled to the above property, are in the hands of BALDWIN DANE, Esq., to whom ap- plication will please to be made for terms &c., he being legally authorised to contract and dispose of all the above valuable property, for which good and satisfactory titles will be giv- en.
