JOHN LE TELLIER, DENTIST,
At his Dwelling House, over Mr. Brooke's Store, in the Brick Row.
OFFERS his services to the inhabitants of Richmond, in the various branches of his profession, i. e. in restoring the Teeth to their natural elegance, without injuring their enamel, by cleaning them from that corrosive substance called Tartar, which adheres to them, it being of a yellow or black appearance, producing Scurvy, causing an offensive Breath, decaying of the teeth, or a wasting of the Gums and boney process of the Jaw, till they drop out.
Persons unto whom nature has denied the satisfaction of lasting natural Teeth, may have their loss supplied by artificial ones, set with such nicety and beauty, that they cannot be distinguished from natural, and of materials that will not change to an unnatural colour. Hollow ones he plugs, so as to prevent them from being painful, or further decaying for many years, and reinstates those with the Gums that are much depreciated by carelessness or corroding medicines. Likewise extracts such as are too far gone to save, in which operation he makes use of his Perpendicular Extracting Instruments, which take the teeth out without any possibility of fracturing the jaw or bruising the gums, and with much less pain than the instruments that are in general used by Surgeons and Dentists.
He has DENTRIFICE of a very superior quality, which he has lately prepared and for sale.
Those who wish to be waited on at their residence by directing a line or servant to Mr. Le Tellier, will be attended to.

TO BE RENTED, FOR A TERM OF YEARS,
MY HOUSES and LOTS, situated in a most agreeable part of the city; also the BREWERY belonging to me, with the LOT upon which it stands, together with the COOPER'S SHOP, and the adjoining LOT, and the HOUSE and LOT, upon which is the Spring that supplies the Brewery, if either or both are required. The situation of my property, consisting of seven half acre Lots, with the improvements, four of which are in one square, is well known to the citizens of this place, but it may not be improper, to inform those at a distance, that it combines advantages, which few or none in the city possess. The works of the Brewery are in good order, and the Malt, and the Malt, Kiln and Mill are equal to any in the United States. There being no other Brewery in this part of the State, it is an object worthy the attention of any person inclined to prosecute the malting and brewing business to advantage. Some valuable Coopers, a Drayman and Maltster, and several excellent House servants may be hired along with the other property. Possession of the Dwelling Houses and Lots may be obtained on a short notice, and of the Brewery, Houses and Lots attached to it, on or before the first day of September next.

Mr. Hay. A few remarks only, Sir! This is a discussion which at the time I certainly could not have expected. Mr. Burr stands here charged with High Treason. The evidence will take a considerable time to be unfolded; even without the unnecessary interruptions, which we have to often experienced. This charge is of immense importance: it involves no less than the liberty and life of the accused: it is a subject which has excited the deepest & an universal attention throughout this country. It is not possibly to be decided in one, two, perhaps several days. Suppose, then, the doctrine of the opposite counsel to be correct, and suppose, what is certainly true, that there can be no secrecy thrown over the evidence against him: then, Sir, after we had exhibited all this evidence, after you had determined that there was probable evidence of guilt, the accused equally perceiving the force of that testimony, coolly marches off & leaves the court to pronounce its decision. Would not this be a ridiculous situation? Would it not be a farce, Sir? And would it not expose us to the scorn of the U. S.?
Can our proposition be deemed an unreasonable one? We ask, merely, that Col. Burr should be kept here to answer the decision of the court. This is no common case. It is one of immense importance; it has already imposed a great expense upon the public. I am informed by the Secretary of War, that we may expect Gen. Wilkinson between the 28th & 30th of this month. If he comes, the bills both for a misdemeanor and treason will certainly be laid before the Grand Jury. Will the court then positively decide, that Col. Burr may in the mean time effect his escape? But if Wilkinson does arrive and if A. Burr does apprehend that we have sufficient evidence of the crime of treason; will he hesitate to fly to save his life? Sir, it is disagreeable for me to express such conjectures; but they obviously arise from the very nature of the case. I repeat that from the commencement of the criminal code to the present day, no instance has ever occurred where the ministers of the Law have ever said to the criminal: "You are charged with a capital crime. There is reason to believe you guilty. But we leave you at liberty to dispose of yourself as you please, till we decide upon your case." Whatever be the universal usage, let us apply it to this very case, and this very man. Gentlemen will excuse me, if I say, they seem to suppose that all the laws and precedents which have ever been established must be accommodated to their own convenience in this particular case. Why more to Aaron Burr, Sir, than to any other man? why more to him, than to those humble and deluded beings, who have been the instruments and may be the victims of his ambition?—Mr. Wickham excuses him from the present application, by saying that he is already bound. But what kind of an excuse is this? because a man has been guilty of one crime, he must not be bound for another: because he has done one wrong, that therefore we must not suspect him of another? This is a violation of that fundamental rule of the law, that no man is to profit by his own wrong.—Mr. Boit contends that he has already given Bail for one crime: But how inferior is that to the one which is now bro't against him! The highest punishment which can be inflicted against this misdemeanor is 3 years imprisonment and a fine of 3000 dollars; and even these are not fixed by the law; but depend upon the discretion of the court and the jury. The criminal may therefore be condemned to no more than an imprisonment for 3 months and a fine of 100 dollars. Shall then a recognizance for such an inferior crime afford him protection against another, where life itself is concerned?—Mr. Boit stated that there was a difference between this and the former examination; that in the latter case, Col. Burr was brought before you by a warrant; but that he is not really at this time before the court. But why was this warrant issued on a former examination? because Col. Burr was not before the Judge—it was necessary, but when that warrant was discharged it was void; it was functus officio . Col. Burr was in custody; until he gave Bail. It was immaterial how the accused man comes before the magistrate; whether by warrant, by voluntary delivery or by the compulsion of others. But when he is there, charged with an offence, which involves both liberty and life—he certainly should not be told, that it was optional with him, whether he remained there or went any where else.
Chief Justice delivered an opinion at some length, which it was impossible for us to hear distinctly or to take it down as delivered.—He observed that on Col. Burr's former examination he had demanded bail from day to day, because he had already seen the testimony, and supposed it to contain probable proof of guilt, on the charge of a misdemeanor; that this at least was the principal reason for his having demanded bail; that on completing the examination, the sum of 10,000 dollars was considered sufficient to bind him to answer the charge
of a misdemeanor only, the constitution itself having demanded that excessive bail should not be taken; and because that recognizance had no reference to the charge of treason. But that the evidence not having yet been fully exhibited on the present occasion, he could not be supposed to demand bail, from the same consideration.
He observed that some probable evidence of crime must always appear against a person, before he can be required to give security for his appearance; but that before this could be done, the accused might make his escape; that in common cases, where a man is brought before a magistrate, the arrest is preceded by an affidavit, which furnishes the probable cause; but that in the present time, Col. Burr was not in the custody of the court and the evidence was necessary to be exhibited.
He observed, however, that it might be proper to demand bail for the mere purpose of securing the personal attendance of Col. Burr, until the motion for his commitment was finally decided; that there was a peculiar embarrassment however, in the present case, arising from the very nature of the motion at this particular crisis, which the court most sensibly felt and which they would not hesitate to express; Col. Burr was likely to be brought before the grand inquest of the nation, on an indictment for treason; the motion for his commitment necessarily comprehended the same question; were the court to pronounce its opinion on this motion, it would have to pronounce an opinion both as to the law and the evidence, and on a case, which was likely to be laid before the G. J. & even before themselves in some ulterior stage of the prosecution, ought then the court to pass a decision, which might prejudicate the ultimate question, and commit their own opinion on the most essential points of the case? Touched by these considerations, the Chief Justice observed, that he had most sensibly felt the embarrassment of his situation, and that he had determined not to have given any opinion the motion for commitment, until it was distinctly ascertained that the bills of indictment were not to go out during the present term.
If therefore Bail was to be demanded from Col. Burr on the present occasion, it must be distinctly understood that the court intended to pass no kind of opinion upon his innocence or guilt; and that it was demanded merely for the purpose of securing his personal attendance, and not because they considered that there was or was not probable proof of guilt.
Mr. Burr. I never will admit, Sir, that there is a sufficient reason to demand bail from me in the present instance, for I stand upon the basis of the constitution; which requires at least probable evidence for a commitment. If the attorney of the U. S. pursues this object, therefore, he will be completely disappointed. But, Sir, as the Court has confessed, that they are personally under some embarrassment; that is with me a material consideration. I will do any thing to relieve the court. I am willing, if it be any accommodation to them, to give them additional bail. Let the Court only place it at such a sum as I can give, and I will do it with the utmost cheerfulness.
Chief Justice. The court does certainly feel itself in an embarrassing situation, as they would have to decide both on the law and the fact.—They however wish to fix upon no particular sum. Let the opposite counsel consult together on that point. Mr. Burr observed, that he hoped the sum would be a moderate one; as he was uncertain whether he could get bail for a single dollar.—Chief Justice. It is to be understood that the bail now to be given, will be in addition to that in which Col. Burr is already bound.—Mr. Martin. Col. Burr, Sir, is not before the court. He can only be brought before them by the finding of a Grand Jury, or by a warrant from the court in its capacity of conservator of the peace.—Mr. Hay. I understand the court to say, that they conceived themselves bound to secure his personal attendance; but that their object was not to commit themselves as to any opinion which they might deliver. This, Sir, is the very thing which we desire: and we desire it the more, because it may convince the accused, that we are not solicitous to prejudicate the public mind against him, by the exhibition of any evidence; until gen. Wilkinson arrives.—Chief Justice. The court wishes to avoid any declaration on the one way or the other; and the course which is now pursued certainly does not pledge them to either side.—Mr. Burr presumed, that an order of the court might be drawn, which
would express the reason why bail was required.—Chief Justice requested that the Counsels themselves would arrange the form of this order.—Mr. Hay. Suppose, Sir, that the court is fixed. Another difficulty will however remain. What is to be the quantum of bail demanded?—Chief Justice hoped that they would attempt, if possible to arrange that point among themselves.—Mr. Hay. Nothing is more improbable.—Mr. Martin. Let them then, Sir, pursue their first course. We do not fear the effect of the evidence upon the public mind.—Chief Justice. But there is another consideration. If this course be pursued, it will lead to the very difficulty which the court wishes to avoid. The opinion of the court must be committed.
Mr. Martin. There is certainly another consideration. Col. Burr is brought here by no warrant. And yet, does not the constitution declare, that no man shall be held to trial but upon probable evidence? What is true of a magistrate, also applies to a court. How then can Col. Burr be now forced to give bail, when he only appears here to answer his recognizance?
Mr. Burr. I am willing to relieve the court from the embarrassment they are in. I will myself name, what sum I think I can obtain bail for. If I cannot obtain that bail, the opposite counsel must needs proceed with their motion. I will name 10,000 dollars.
Mr. Hay. I shall certainly leave the sum to the discretion of the court itself, who has the jurisdiction in the case. But I cannot acquiesce in the proposition which Col. B. has made. I do not think that five times that sum would be too great; I have, indeed, Sir, made large calculations on this subject.—Mr. Martin. I am sorry, Sir, that the other side cannot agree to our propositions; but as Col. Burr is not in the presence of the court, I should suppose that a smaller bail ought to be required.—Mr. McRae. It is strange that they say now, Col. Burr is not in court, when a short time ago, they asserted that he was bound to appear here.—Mr. Martin. The gentleman has misunderstood me. He is not before the court, because he has not been brought here by a warrant or by the indictment of a Grand Jury. But he is so far within the power of the court as to be here to answer this recognizance.—Mr. Burr. One word more. An idea has struck me since I last addressed the court, which I consider as of some importance. It is in all cases difficult to graduate the bail to the extent of an individual's fortune. But as to my fortune, it is destroyed: It is in the hands of the government. I know not whether in this place I could obtain credit for any thing; no, not for a single dollar; if I was trusted for my fortune alone.
Chief Justice after consulting with Mr. Griffin, gave it as the decision of the court, that Col. Burr should be bailed, for 20,000 dollars more; himself in the sum of 10,000, and his securities in the same sum. So that the whole amount of bail, inclusive of the first recognizance, should be 40,000 dollars.—Mr. Burr. I will then offer three of my former securities and Mr. Martin.—Mr. Martin. I hold landed property in the district of Virginia to twice the amount of the sum, for which I am to be bailed. And I am happy to give this public proof of my confidence in the integrity and innocence of Mr. Burr.
Messrs. Martin, Langborne, Taylor, & Gamble, were the securities to this new recognizance; and were of course bound respectively in the sum of 2500 dols. each.
Order of the Court. This day came the Attorney for the U. S. & Aaron Burr, and by consent of the said Aaron Burr: It is considered, that he enter into a recognizance in the sum of 10,000 dols. and give one or more securities in the like sum, with condition for his personal appearance before this court on to-morrow, then and there to answer such charges as shall be exhibited against him on behalf of the U. S. and not to depart without the leave of the said court. Whereupon the said Aaron Burr entered into recognizance in the penal sum of 10,000 dols. and Luther Martin, Wm. Langborne, Thomas Taylor and John Gamble, jr. in the sum of 2,500 dols. each.
The court adjourned till to-morrow at ten o'clock.
FRIDAY. The jury met at 10 o'clock and were immediately adjourned till this day 9 o'clock. This early hour was chosen to suit the convenience of such of the jurors, as might wish to visit their families.
It is understood, that the Attorney for the U. S. will not lay his indictments before the present Grand Jury, before the arrival of Gen. Wilkinson.
During the pendency of the trial, the ENQUIRER will be published on Wednesday's and Saturday's.
Errata.—The word ONLY, in the 12th line from the conclusion of Mr. Nicholas's observations, in our last paper, ought to have been excluded.
Latest Foreign News.
NORFOLK, May 27.
By the ship Sheffield, capt. Davis, arrived in Hampton Roads, from Liverpool, bound to City Point, we have received files of London papers to the twelfth of April. These papers do not contain any accounts of a grand battle, that was expected had been fought about the last of March, and which was perhaps avoided by the French having retreated across the Vistula, as will be seen by this day's paper. From the 7th to the 11th of April, various rumours had been in circulation in London, that a great battle had been fought, and that it had terminated in favor of the French, which, as the accounts were from Holland and France, was natural, but a Prussian officer arrived on the 12th, as will be noticed in this paper, who brought accounts that no battle of any consequence had been fought, and that the French had retreated. We remark in the extracts made into the English papers, from the continental journals, a considerable buzz of peace, and repeated in so many shapes, that we incline to think, whatever may be the result, that negotiations are on foot. These negotiations meet much opposition in England, from whence a large military expedition is preparing for the continent; but expeditions from England to the continent have so often ended in fiasco , that we do not calculate much from that now proposed, though there was certainly never a more favorable moment, as France is evidently more embarrassed than at any former period.
In England the new administration have not only stood their ground, but in a most animated and lengthy debate in the House of Commons, on the 9th of April, (which we shall notice hereafter) gained a complete victory over the late administration and their friends, by a majority of 32, present 484 members. The question which occasioned this warm debate, and trial of strength, was on the following motion from a friend to the late administration:—Resolved, That it is subversive of the principles of the constitution, for his majesty's ministers to refrain themselves by any pledge to withhold at any time from his majesty any advice, which they shall in their consciences believe to be conducive to the security of his realms, the honor of his crown, and the well being of his subjects. From the resolution itself, but which the debate fully explains, it should appear that the present administration have pledged themselves not to advise the king upon some certain measures, particularly the Catholic question. To get rid of the resolution, and at the same time to try their strength, the ministerialists moved for "the order of the day," on which the house divided.
For the resolution in favor of the order of the day, 255 For the original resolution 226 Majority, 32
A trial of strength would be made in the house of lords a few days afterwards, the result of which will prove whether the present administration can maintain themselves with the present parliament or not.
Official accounts, as will be seen, of the capture of Monte Video, reached England on the 12th of April.
Mr. Monroe, we are assured from a source which we can rely on, will leave London for the United States in all April, or as soon as he can find a suitable vessel for himself and his family. Ledger.

IN COUNCIL, APRIL 16, 1807.
FOR the information of those persons who are entitled to lands in that part of the state of Ohio, ceded by the legislature of Virginia, in their act of cession, for satisfying bounties due to the officers and soldiers of the Virginia line, on continental establishment: It is advised, that so much of the act of last session of Congress as relates to the granting of further time for locating those warrants, be published by the printer for the commonwealth, at least once a week in his paper for three months; and also once a week for two weeks in all the other newspapers, published in Virginia and the district of Columbia.
It is also advised, that the rules adopted by the executive, in relation to the evidence to be adduced by claimants for military land warrants, and, to the amount of allowances to be made them in certain cases, be in like manner and for the above periods published in said papers—which rules are as follows:
In all cases where a certificate of military services is adduced as evidence of a claim for land bounty, the signature of the person certifying, must be authenticated by his acknowledgment before some magistrate, or by the affidavits of two witnesses, at least; and where a certificate of the same nature is granted by a person not a commandant of a corps, the same must be verified by the affidavit of such person, accompanied by a certificate of his credibility from the court of the county or corporation in which he resides, or from some magistrate thereof.
2d. Any officer or soldier who has reserved for a longer period than six years is entitled to additional land bounty in proportion to the time which he may have served beyond the six years, although the said additional service may fall short of or exceed one year.
Extract from the Journals of Council, DANIEL L. HYULTON, Clerk of the Council.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,—That the officers and soldiers of the Virginia line on continental establishment, their heirs or assigns, entitled to bounty lands within the tract reserved by Virginia, between the Little Miami and Scioto rivers, for satisfying the legal bounties to her officers and soldiers upon continental establishment, shall be allowed further time of three years, from the twenty-third of March next to complete their locations, and further time of five years from the said twenty-third of March next to return their surveys and warrants or certified copies of warrants to the office of secretary of the war department, any thing in the act entitled "An act to ascertain the boundary of the lands reserved by the state of Virginia north west of the river Ohio, for the satisfaction of her officers and soldiers on continental establishment, and to limit the period for locating the said lands," to the contrary notwithstanding: Provided, no locations as aforesaid, shall after the passing of this act, be made on tracts of land for which patents had previously been issued, or which had been previously surveyed, and any patent which may nevertheless be obtained for land located contrary to the provisions of this section, shall be considered as null and void.
The several printers in Virginia, and in the district of Columbia, are requested to insert the above in their respective papers, once a week for two weeks, and transmit their accounts to D. L. HYULTON.
