INTRODUCTION TO An enquiry into the present state of the foreign relations of the union as effected by the late measures of administration. a pamphlet just published in Philadelphia.
(Concluded.)
DEPRECATING the calamities of war, and avoiding, as far as possible, the necessity of falling into a state of hostility, it yet becomes us to yield no right, to let no insult fall upon us with impunity, and, in fine, to take the dignified stand that is worthy of a nation just, brave and independent. Without entering into the endless cabals and intrigues of the cabinets of Europe, it is yet the bounden duty of those whom we have placed upon the seats of authority, to penetrate and to sound every movement in that quarter, that may affect the harmony and welfare of our country; and these delegated rulers do fail in their highest function if they imagine that we are not to follow with a scrutinizing eye, the proceedings of the powers on the other side of the Atlantic, merely, because it would be a staring folly, pursued by ruin, for us to launch into the offensive rancorous hostilities of their every local warfare. Inevitable destruction and infamy await us if either of these extremes is fixed as the standard by which to measure our political motions; and what is concluded from the one, or the other of those predicaments, is the converse of what follows from the assumption of correct and legitimate grounds.
The ordinary prudence which attends plain common sense assures us, supposing no historical facts to be adduced as proofs, that, as soon as a nation becomes conspicuous for wealth or power, she must become an object of jealousy and hatred to those around her; and that they are ever disposed to render her the butt of their insults or the victim of their power or their arts. To the plots of these oppressors she must oppose her counter plots, against their cunning, she must array her wisdom, her arts she must subvert by her penetration, and their power she must front with a dauntless intrepidity and a resolution that will either strike her enemies with awe, or that will convince them, that, if they ever do effect a conquest over her, it will be completed, only, when a struggle prolonged to the last, has left nothing remaining with which to crown the destroyer. If such be not our conduct and our spirit, the ruin of our nation is not far distant; but, if we are wise and resolute and united, we may defy the congregated nations of Europe marshalled against us.
In fact, we gain more than half of our object, both as to peace and as to security, if we assume a high and commanding station, and preserve an intrepid and gallant air of independence.
It is an axiom in politics, and from its dierum there is no exception; that a nation with resources, means, and local advantages sufficient to enable her to support her independence, will never be engaged in useless wars, or exposed to needless dangers, merely, because she carries herself with dignity and boldness; but, that such a demeanor does secure her from the petty insults and plundering of others, and keeps her aloof both from perils and disgrace, by showing a temper ready to repel or revenge whenever she sees proper. A dignified conduct of this sort supplies the want of many an inferior talent or advantage in the government of nations. It commands respect and veneration, and, like the reverence yielded to enthroned majesty, it covers all foibles and defects with the mantle of sacred mystery. We should have a cheap defence in a state department thus resolute; more excellent than the state of our arms, as a preventative is better than a cure, more grateful to the feelings, as justice and right shew more beautifol when unadorned with human blood, and we should thus prove ourselves worthy of empire, and shew to the world a greatness of soul and honorable worth without a parallel.
To derive the full and ample benefits of such a temper and zeal of independence, we should know that they can come only from legislators and statesmen who are disposed in principle to deal with men and with realities, and not from speculators given to devising schemes for a state of things never to be seen, and to weaving moon beam mantles for aerial beings, the nameless progeny of a morbid imagination. We should be aware, that much wisdom, great firmness, and an entire exemption from the visions of Utopian doctors are requisite for the practical management of the concerns of a great empire. We should feel assured of the important
truth, that these iron times cannot be worked upon by rules which would be too fanciful and too refined, even for a golden age: and we should remember, that the fabrication and the show of philosophic gewgaws belongs to other hands than those entrusted with the keeping of our national safety—a misplaced confidence in visionary theorists and projectors may make their folly the more conspicuous, but it would be an aggravated self-reproach, for men mourning over the ruins of their country, to reflect, that the folly which destroyed them drew all its mischief from their own infatuation.
Impressed with a warm and deep conviction, that these are matters which require our solemn and most close reflection and belief, I would call upon my countrymen, with an earnest voice, to behold & to judge. Full of the importance of the crisis, I would try to impress upon them the great truths, that our fame, our existence, our prosperity are concerned in the knowledge and conviction of our critical and unsettled situation, and that our safety as an empire, and our reputation as a people depend upon those in whose keeping the citizens of the U. States place the guardianship of their fortunes and the conservation of their glories. Knowing that the destiny of an empire is in the hands of those who wield its powers and resources, I would associate my feeble exertions with the intelligence and wisdom of Americans to examine into that system of foreign policy that now lives in our councils, and estimate its spirit, and the consequences to which its continuance may lead—Aware that the efforts of a people are nothing, unless to their momentum be given a proper direction, and that desultory, wavering, unsteady applications of the resources and vigor of a state, do but weaken her, without effecting any favorable change in her situation, do only waste her powers and her reputation in schemes fruitless as to benefits, disgraceful as to honor: I would ask for some show of political foresight, prudence and management in the men whom we have chosen as our political guardians. I would urge the enquiries: Whether the national honor has been preserved un tarnished? Whether the national dignity had been ever kept in view by those who are delegated to watch over it? Whether the true and solid interests of the country, as affected by the critical relations of the times, had been provided for with prudence and firmness? Whether the resources of the country had been applied with economy and to their best possible purposes? And, in a word, Whether all difficulties had been encountered with a firm moderation, and an intrepid air of independent defiance, tempered with charity and attended by justice?
If the result of these enquiries should lead us to a fair conclusion, that men of the stamp and character of those who now stand at the head of our national concerns are not the men for American government and statesmen, my individual labor is done, my mite of patriotic contribution is given to the state; the sequel must be the work of united numbers—let Americans look to it.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 24.
From a person who came in the Lavater, arrived at Annapolis from New-Orleans, we understand that a proclamation had been issued at that place by the constituted authorities, offering a reward for the apprehension of Col. Burr, or the communication of any intelligence relative to the conspiracy—the attack was expected to be made on New-Orleans by Burr and his adherents on the 20th of this month, instead of the 20th of December, as stated by an arrival at Charleston, and published a few days since.
Baltimore American.
Message of the president of the United States containing a development of the Conspiracy.
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the U. S.
Agreeably to the request of the house of representatives communicated in their resolution of the 16th instant, I proceed to state under the reserve therein expressed, information received, touching an illegal combination of private individuals against the peace and safety of the union, and a military expedition planned by them against the territories of a power in amity with the U. States, with the measures I have pursued for suppressing the same.
I had for some time been in the constant expectation of receiving such further
information as would have enabled me to lay before the legislature the termination, as well as the beginning and progress of this scene of depravity, so far as it has been acted on the Ohio and its waters—From this the state of safety of the lower country might have been estimated on probable grounds, and the delay was indulged the rather, because no circumstance had yet made it necessary to call in the aid of the legislative functions. Information now recently communicated, has brought us nearly to the period contemplated. The mass of what I have received in the course of these transactions is voluminous; but little has been given under the sanction of an oath, so as to constitute formal and legal evidence. It is chiefly in the form of letters, often containing such a mixture of rumors, conjectures and suspicions as renders it difficult to sift out the real facts, and undivisible to hazard more than general outlines, strengthened by concurrent information, or the particular credibility of the relator. In this state of the evidence, delivered some times too under the restriction of private confidence, neither safety nor justice will permit the exposing names, except that of the principal actor, whose guilt is placed beyond question.
Some time in the latter part of September, I received intimations that designs were in agitation in the western country, unlawful and unfriendly to the peace of the union: and that the prime mover in these was Aaron Burr, heretofore distinguished by the favor of his country. The grounds of these intimations being conclusive, the objects uncertain, and the fidelity of that country known to be firm, the only measures taken was to urge the informants to use their best endeavors to get further insight into the designs and proceedings of the suspected persons, and to communicate them to me.
It was not till the latter part of October that the objects of the conspiracy began to be perceived, but still so blended and involved in mystery that nothing distinct could be singled out for pursuit. In this state of uncertainty, as to the crime contemplated, the acts done, and the legal course to be pursued, I thought it best to send to the scene, where these things were principally in transaction, a person in whose integrity, understanding and discretion, entire confidence could be reposed, with instructions to investigate the plots going on, to enter into conference (for which he had sufficient credentials) with the governors, and all other officers, civil and military, and with their aid, to do on the spot whatever should be necessary to discover the designs of the conspirators, arrest their means, bring their persons to punishment, and to call out the force of the country to suppress any unlawful enterprise, in which it should be found they were engaged. By this time it was known that many boats were under preparation stores of provision collecting, and an unusual number of suspicious characters in motion on the Ohio and its waters. Besides dispatching the confidential agent to that quarter, orders were at the same time sent to the governors of the Orleans and Mississippi territories, and to the commanders of the land and naval forces there to be on their guard against surprise, and in constant readiness to resist any enterprise which might be attempted on the vessels, posts or other objects under their care: and on the 8th of Nov. instructions were forwarded to gen. Wilkinson to hasten an accommodation with the Spanish commandant on the Sabine, and, as soon as that was effected, to fall back with his principal force to the hither bank of Mississippi, for the defence of the interesting points on that river. By a letter received from that officer of the 25th of Nov. but dated October 21st, we learnt that a confidential agent of Aaron Burr had been deputed to him with communications, partly written in cypher and partly in oral, explaining his designs, exaggerating his resources, and making such offers of emolument and command, to engage him and his army in his unlawful enterprise, as he had flattered himself would be successful. The general, with the honor of a soldier, and fidelity of a good citizen, immediately dispatched a trusty officer to me with information of what had passed, proceeded to establish such an understanding with the Spanish commandant on the Sabine as permitted him to withdraw his force across the Mississippi, and to enter on measures for opposing the projected enterprise.
The general's letter which came to hand on the 25th of November, as has been mentioned, and some other information, received a few days earlier, when brought together, developed Burr's general designs, different parts of which only had
been revealed to different informants. It appeared that he contemplated two distinct objects, which might be carried on either jointly or separately, and either on one or the other first, as circumstances should direct. One of these was the severance of the union of the states by the Allegany mountains, the other an attack on Mexico. A third object was provided, merely ostensible, to wit, the settlement of the pretended purchase of a tract of country on the Washita, claimed by a baron Bastrop. This was to serve as the pretext for all his preparations, an allure ment for such followers as really wished to acquire settlements in that country, and a cover under which to retreat in the event of a final discomfiture of both branches of his real design.
He found at once that the attachment of the western country to the present union was not to be shaken, that its dissolution could not be effected with the consent of its inhabitants; and that his resources were inadequate, as yet, to effect it by force. He took his course then at once, determined to seize on New-Orleans, plunder the bank there, possess himself of the military and naval stores, and proceed on his expedition to Mexico, and to this object all his means and preparations were now directed. He collected from all the quarters where himself or his agents possessed influence, all the ardent, restless, desperate and disaffected persons who were ready for any enterprise analogous to their characters. He seduced good and well meaning citizens, some by assurances that he possessed the confidence of the government, and was acting under its secret patronage; a pretence which procured some credit from the state of our differences with Spain; and others by offers of land in Bastrop's claim on the Washita.
This was the state of my information of his proceedings about the last of Nov. at which time therefore it was first possible to take specific measures to meet them. The proclamation of November 27, two days after the receipt of general Wilkinson's information, was now issued. Orders were dispatched to every interesting point on the Ohio and Mississippi, from Pittsburg to New Orleans, for the employment of such force, either of the regulars or of the militia, and of such proceedings also of the civil authorities, as might enable them to seize on all boats & stores provided for the enterprise, to arrest the persons concerned, and to suppress effectually the further progress of the enterprise. A little before the receipt of these orders in the state of Ohio, our confidential agent, who had been diligently employed in investigating the conspiracy, had acquired sufficient information to open himself to the governor of that state, and to apply for the immediate exertion of the authority and power of the state to crush the combination. Governor Tiffin and the legislature, with a promptitude, an energy and patriotic zeal, which entitle them to a distinguished place in the affection of their sister states, effected the seizure of all the boats, provisions and other preparations within their reach, and this gave a first blow, materially disabling the enterprise in its outset.
In Kentucky a premature attempt to bring Burr to justice, without sufficient evidence, for his conviction, had produced a popular impression in his favor, and a general disbelief of his guilt. This gave an unfortunate opportunity of hastening his equipments. The arrival of the proclamation and orders, and the application and information of our confidential agent, at length awakened the authorities of that state to the truth, and then produced the same promptitude and energy of which the neighboring state had set the example. Under an act of their legislature of Dec. 23, militia was instantly ordered to different important points, and measures taken for doing whatever could yet be done. Some boats (accounts vary from five to double or treble that number) and persons (differently estimated from one to three hundred) had in the mean time passed the falls of Ohio to rendezvous at the mouth of Cumberland, with others expected down that river. Not apprised till very late that any boats were building at Cumberland, the effect of the proclamation had been trusted to for some time in the state of Tennessee. But on the 19th of Dec. similar communications and instructions, with those to the neighboring states, were dispatched by express to the governor, and a general officer of the western division of the state, and on the 23d of December our confidential agent left Frankfort for Nashville to put into activity the means of that state also. But by information received yesterday, I learn that on the 22d of Dec. Mr. Burr descended the Cumberland with two boats, merely of accommodation, cat-

rying with him from that state no quota towards his unlawful enterprize. Whether after the arrival of the proclamation, of the orders, or of our agent, any exertion which could be made by that state, or the orders of the governor of Kentucky for calling out the militia at the mouth of Cumberland, would be in time to arrest these boats, and those from the falls of Ohio, is still doubtful.
On the whole the fugitives from the Ohio, with their associates from Cumberland, or any other place in that quarter, cannot threaten serious danger to the city of New Orleans.
By the same express of December 19, orders were sent to the governors of Orleans and Mississippi, supplementary to those which had been given on the 25th of November, to hold the militia of their territories in readiness to co-operate for their defence with the regular troops and armed vessels then under command of general Wilkinson. Great alarm indeed was excited at New Orleans by the exaggerated accounts of Mr. Burr, disseminated through his emissaries, of the armies and navies he was to assemble there.
General Wilkinson had arrived there himself on the 24th of November and had immediately put into activity the resources of the place for the purpose of its defence, and on the tenth of December he was joined by his troops from the Sabine. Great zeal was shown by the inhabitants generally; the merchants of the place readily agreeing to the most laudable exertions and sacrifices for the manning the armed vessels with their seamen; and the other citizens manifesting unequivocal fidelity to the union, and a spirit of determined resistance to their expected assailants.
Surmises have been hazarded that this enterprize is to receive aid from certain foreign powers. But these surmises are without proof or probability. The wisdom of the measures sanctioned by congress at its last session has placed us in the paths of peace and justice with the only powers with whom we had any differences, and nothing has happened since which makes it either their interest or ours to pursue another course. No change of measures has taken place on our part—none ought to take place at this time—With the one friendly arrangement was proposed and the law was also deemed necessary on the failure of that, was suspended to give time for a fair trial of the issue. With the same power friendly arrangement is now proceeding under good expectations, and the same law deemed necessary on failure of that, is still suspended to give time for fair trial of the issue. With the other negotiations was in like manner preferred, and provisional measures only taken to meet the event of rupture. While therefore we do not detest in the slightest degree from the course we then assumed, and are still pursuing with mutual consent, to restore a good understanding, we are not to impute to them practices as irreconcilable to interest as to good faith, and changing necessarily the relations of peace and justice between us to those of war. These surmises are therefore to be imputed to the machinations of the author of this enterprize, to multiply his partisans, by magnifying the belief of his prospects and support.
By letters from general Wilkinson of the 4th and 18th of December, which came to hand two days after the date of the resolution of the house of representatives, that to say, on the morning of the 18th inst. received the important affidavit, a copy of which I now communicate, with extracts of so much of the letters as comes within the scope of the resolution. By these it will be seen that of three of the principal emissaries of Mr. Burr, whom the general had caused to be apprehended, one had been liberated by the habeas corpus, and two others, being those particularly employed in the endeavor to corrupt the general and army of the U. S. have embarked by him for ports in the Atlantic states, probably on the consideration that an impartial trial could not be expected during the present agitations of New Orleans, and that that city was not a safe place of confinement. As soon as these persons shall arrive, they will be delivered to the custody of the law, and subjected to such course of trial, both as to place and process, as its functionaries may direct. The presence of the highest judicial authorities, to be assembled at this place within a few days, the means of pursuing a sounder course of proceedings here than elsewhere, and the aid of the executive means, should the judges have occasion to use them, render it equally desirable for the criminal, as for the public, that he be already removed from the place
where they were first apprehended, the first regular arrest should take place here, and the course of proceedings receive here their proper direction.
TH: JEFFERSON. January 22, 1807.
Extract of a letter from general James Wilkinson, dated New Orleans, Dec. 14, 1806.
"After several consultations with the governor and judges, touching the arrest and confinement of certain known agents and emissaries of colonel Burr, in this city and territory, whose intrigues and machinations were to be apprehended, it is with their privity and approbation that I have caused three of them to be arrested, viz. Dr. Erick Bollman, Samuel Swartwout and Peter V. Ogden, against whom I possess strong facts, and I have recommended to the governor to have James Alexander, esq. taken up on the grounds of strong suspicion. These persons and all others, who, by their character and deportment may be considered hostile to the interests of the U. S. or dangerous to this feeble frontier, under the menacing aspect of things from above, will, if my influence can prevail, be seized and sent by sea to the U.

"This letter will accompany Dr. Bollman, who is to be this day embarked in a vessel bound for Charleston, under the charge of lieutenant Wilson of the artillery, who has orders to land with his prisoner at Fort Johnson, or Fort Moultrie, to forward this dispatch by mail and to wait the orders of the executive. Mr. Swartwout will be sent to Baltimore by a vessel which will sail some time the ensuing week in custody of another subaltern, who will be the bearer of strong testimony against him and also colonel Burr, and the others will follow under due precautions, by the earliest opportunities which may present."
"I deem it essential to keep these prisoners apart, to prevent the adjustment of correspondent answers or confessions, to any examination which may ensue, and I hope the measures of the executive may be so prompt and efficient, as to relieve the officers in charge of them from their trust, before the interposition of the friends of the prisoners may effect their liberation."
"By this procedure we may intimidate the confederates, who are unquestionably numerous in this as well as the adjacent territory, disconcert their arrangements & possibly destroy their intrigues, and I hope the zeal which directs the measure may be justified and approved, for whilst the glow of patriotism actuates my conduct, and I am willing to offer myself a martyr to the constitution of my country. I should indeed be most grievously disappointed did I incur its censure."
"Here, sir, we find the key to the western states, and here we must form one grand depository and place of arms—combine to this disposition a river fleet competent to its occupation, and post it thirty or forty leagues above the Yazoo river, and we may repose in security; for the discontent and sufferings of our insurgent citizens which must immediately ensue, will soon open their eyes to the wickedness of their leaders and work a radical reformation without bloodshed. This is my plan for resisting an internal attack—for external defence, gun boats and bomb ketches with floating batteries at the mouths of the Mississippi and the passes from lake Pontchartrain will be necessary."
Extract of a letter from gen. James Wilkinson, dated New Orleans, December 18, 1806.
Sir, Since my last of the 14th instant, writs of habeas corpus have been issued for the bodies of Bollman, Swartwout and Ogden, the two latter by judge Workman, who is strongly suspected for being connected with Burr in his conspiracy, as I have proof this man declared some time since that "the republic... who possessed power and did not employ it to establish a despotism was a fool." His writ for Ogden was served on captain Shaw of the navy who had him in charge at my request, on board the Etah bomb ketch, and delivered him up, and Mr. Workman discharged him without giving me a word of information, although he knew he was confined by my order for a treasonable combination with Burr, and Mr. Ogden now struts at large. Swartwout I have sent off and shall so report, holding myself ready for consequences. Bollman was required by the supe-
rior court, but I have got rid of that affair also, under the usual liability for damages, in which case I shall look to our country for protection.
I, James Wilkinson, brigadier general and commander in chief of the army of the U. S. to warrant the arrest of Dr. Erick Bollman on a charge of treason, misprision of treason, or such other offence against the government and laws of the U. S. as the following facts may legally charge him with—on my honor as a soldier, and on the holy evangelists of Almighty God, do declare and swear, that on the sixth day of November last, when in command at Natchitoches, a stranger to me, a letter from Dr. Erick Bollman, of which the following is a correct copy.
"New Orleans, Sept. 27, 1806."
"Sir, "I have the honor to forward to your excellency the enclosed letters, which I was charged to deliver to you by our mutual friend. I shall remain for some time at this place, and should be glad to learn where and when I may have the pleasure of an interview with you. Have the goodness to inform me of it, and please to direct your letter to me, care of _____, or enclose it under cover to them."
"I have the honor to be, with the greatest respect, Sir, Your excellency's most obedient servant, (Signed) ERICK BOLLMAN." "Gen. Wilkinson."
Covering a communication in cypher from col. Aaron Burr, of which the following is substantially as fair an interpretation as I have heretofore been able to make, the original of which I hold in my possession: "I (Aaron Burr) have obtained funds and have actually commenced the enterprize—detachments from different points and under different pretences will rendezvous on the Ohio 1st Nov—every thing internal and external favors views—Protection of England is secured—*T— is gone to Jamaica to arrange with the admiral on that station and will meet at the Mississippi—England—Navy of the U. S. are ready to join and final orders are given to my friends and followers—it will be an host of choice spirits—Wilkinson shall be second to Burr only—Wilkinson shall dictate the rank and promotion of his officers, Burr will proceed westward 1st Aug—never to return—with him go his daughter; the husband will follow in Oct. with a corps of worthies—send forth—with an intelligent & confidential friend with whom Burr may confer. He shall return immediately with farther interesting details; this is essential to concert and harmony of movement. Send a list of all persons known to Wilkinson west of the mountains, who could be useful, with a note delineating characters. By your messenger send me 4 or 5 of the commissions of your officers which you can borrow under any pretence you please: They shall be returned faithfully. Already are orders to the contractor given to FORWARD SIX MONTHS PROVISIONS TO points Wilkinson may name, this shall not be used until the last moment and then under proper injunctions—h project is brought to the point so long desired.—Burr guarantees the result with his life and honor; the lives, the honor, and fortunes of hundreds, the best blood of our country. Burr's plan of operation is to move down rapidly from the falls on the 15th of November with the first five hundred or one thousand men in light boats now constructing for that purpose, to be at Natchez between the 5th and 15th of December; then to meet Wilkinson, then to determine whether it will be expedient in the first instance to seize on or pass by Baton Rouge; on the receipt of this send Burr an answer; draw on Burr for all expences &c. The people of the country to which we are going are prepared to receive us; their agents now with Burr, say that if we will protect their religion and will not subject them to a foreign power, that in 3 weeks all will be settled. The Gods invite to glory and fortune: it remains to be seen whether we deserve the boon—The bearer of this goes express to you; he will hand a formal letter of introduction to you from Burr, a copy of which is hereunto subjoined; he is a man of inviolable honor and perfect discretion; formed to execute rather than to project; capable of relating facts with fidelity and incapable of relating them otherwise. He is thoroughly informed of the plans and intentions of _____, and will disclose to you as far as you enquire and no further; he has imbibed a reverence for your character and may be embarrassed in your *Truxton."
presence; put him at ease and he will satisfy you. Doctor Bollman equally confidential, better informed on the subject & more intelligent will hand you this duplicate." 29th July.
The day after my arrival at this city, the 26th of November last, I received another letter from the Doctor, of which the following is a correct copy.
New Orleans, 25th Oct. 1806.
"Sir, "Your letter of the 6th instant, has been duly received. Supposing that you will be much engaged this morning I defer waiting on your excellency till you will be pleased to inform me of the time when it will be convenient to you to see me. I remain, with great respect, your excellency's most obedient servant,"
Signed ERICK BOLLMAN. His Excellency General Wilkinson, Fauxbourg.
Marigny, the house between Madame Trevigne and M. Marcy.
On the 30th of the same month I waited in person on Dr. E. Bollman, when he informed me that he had not heard from Colonel Burr since his arrival here—that he the said Dr. E. Bollman had sent dispatches to Col. Burr, by a lieut. Spence of the navy, and that he had been advised of Spence's arrival at Nashville, in the state of Tennessee—and observed that Col. Burr had proceeded too far to retreat;—that he Col. Burr, had numerous and powerful friends in the United States, who stood pledged to support him with their fortunes, and that he must succeed. That he the said Dr. E. Bollman, had written to Col. Burr on the subject of provisions, and that he expected a supply would be sent from New-York, and also from Norfolk, where Col. Burr had strong connexions. I did not see nor hear from the doctor again until the 5th instant, when I called on him the second time. The mail having arrived the day before, I asked him whether he had received any intelligence from Col. Burr. He informed me that he had seen a letter from Col. Burr of the 30th of October, in which he Col. Burr gave assurances that he should be at Natches with 2000 men, on the 20th of December instant, where he should wait until he heard from this place.—That he would be followed by 4000 men more, and that he Col. Burr, if he had chosen, could have raised or got 12,000 as easy as 6,000—but that he did not think that number necessary—confiding fully in this information I became indifferent about further disguise, I then told the doctor that I should most certainly oppose Col. Burr if he came this way. He replied, they must come here for equipments and shipping, and observed that he did not know what had passed between Col. Burr and myself, obliqued at a sham defence and waved the subject.
From the documents in my possession, and the several communications, verbal as well as written, from the said Doctor Erick Bollman on this subject. I feel no hesitation in declaring under the solemn obligation of an oath, that he has committed misprision of treason against the government of the United States.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE
Of the great efficacy of the Patent and Family Medicines , prepared by the late Richard Lee, jun. which for near eight years past have acquired throughout the United States a celebrity hitherto unequalled.
Philadelphia, August 9, 1800.
Being desirous to make public for the good of others, the excellent quality of HAMILTON'S ELIXIR , prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you the following account of the benefit I have received from it, which I hope will induce others to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on the breast received from a fall, my health grew bad, my breathing became very difficult, and frequently I have had suddenly to rise up in my bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation. Add to these a constant pain in my breast and a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and you may conceive that my symptoms evidently indicated an approaching consumption. The advice of a most eminent physician was resorted to, and afterwards a second was called in, without giving me any relief. Another physician who knew me and the circumstances of my case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a trial, saying, he had used it in his practice, and always found it so much good. A bottle was procured
from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief before I had taken one half of it. I continued to use it and was soon strong enough to attend to business. On taking cold, some of my form'd symptoms return, but are always removed by a dose or two of the elixir.

From Isaiah Martin, Esq. late Attorney-General of the State of Maryland.
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir . It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints, have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness, and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR
Is recommended as the best remedy for coughs, colds, asthma, hooping-cough, approaching consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. This preparation will prove a valuable acquisition to public speakers who may be subject to temporary hoarseness, thickness of speech, &c. In long confirmed Asthmatic complaints where a cure can speedily be expected, this medicine affords immediate relief, moderating the fits of coughing, and rendering their recurrence less frequent. On children afflicted with the hooping cough, the like beneficial effects may confidently be expected.
ITCH CURED.
By once using Lee's Sovereign Ointment , which, although used for 20 years in Europe and for near 8 years in America, has never been known to fail in any one instance. It is perfectly innocent, warranted not to contain a particle of mercury or any pernicious ingredient, and may be used with perfect safety on an infant, being a vegetable preparation and entirely free from the offensive smell which attends most other remedies.
HAMILTON'S LOZENGES,
Which have cured more children and adults of disorders proceeding from worms, than all the medicines heretofore discovered. In addition to the great cures mentioned in the letters from the chancellor of the state of Maryland, the Rev. Mr. Moltier and others, lately published the following are submitted to the public; being selected for the purpose of showing the mild yet powerful qualities of this extraordinary medicine, which, although so mild in its operation, is competent to expel the formidable tape worm.
An infant, aged 5 weeks, of Mr. Henry Ewbank, taylor, Charles-street, Baltimore, was dangerously afflicted with convulsion fits, so that his life was despaired of, but was perfectly cured by one dose of Hamilton's Worm Lozenges , which expelled several worms, the undoubted cause of the child's disorder.
Letter from Mr. Ackerman, bricklayer, Magazine-street, near Broadway, Jan. 24, 1802.
It would be ungrateful were I to withhold my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges . I had been between five and six years past much indisposed, and latterly often tormented with severe griping and pains in the bowels, troubled with offensive breath, with violent feverish fits, and other obvious symptoms of worms; but frequently hearing your Worm Lozenges recommended in cases similar to mine, I determined on a trial of them, as my last resource. The first dose evacuated twelve or 15 feet of a tape worm; two other doses were taken, which brought away a quantity of matter broken like skins and pieces of worms. I suppose the tape worm, voided at different times, must in the whole have exceeded forty feet. The almost incredible benefit I received from this medicine, induced me to give a dose to a child of mine who was pining and sickly: it produced the same good effect in this instance, expelling a worm of a different kind, from nine to twelve inches long, and at the same time restoring a good state of health.
HENRY ACKERMAN.
ALSO,
The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above.
(Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)
Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common place remark however is TOO OFTEN FORGOTTEN, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be ad-
ministered is too valuable to be forgotten—Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation most expose them.
To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and other warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service, and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton-Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher.
About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance, proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold; on being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbin and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.

Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness-maker.
It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops , as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbin and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops , and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.
