TRIAL OF COLONEL A. BURN.
MOTION FOR COMMITMENT.
EXAMINATION OF EVIDENCE.
SATURDAY, October 8.
(Colonel McKee's testimony continued.)
Hunslaw, Feb. 16, 07.
Dear General,
I received a few days at Natchez your favor of the 8th inst. and nothing could have given me more pleasure; for the strange distant reserve of some of my friends in this quarter, and an observation from Dr. Carmichael that my note from the Bluffs had excited some suspicion of me in a bosom that shall never be justified in harboring any, had mortified me sorely; read that letter again and if it does not speak the language of a heart that loves you, I must have been very unfortunate in expressing myself.
I never was a Burrite nor can I ever give myself up to schemes of lawless plunder; 'tis certain that in my present situation I might have engaged in any honorable enterprise, however hazardous; but the late one, such as it has been represented, is such as I hope no friend of mine will ever suspect me of favoring.
I have not the means and if I had I have not at this moment the time to give you much information on the state of things in this country.
May your purse keep pace with your heart and may you live a thousand years.
Your affectionate friend
JOHN McKEE.
His Excellency Gen. Wilkinson.
Mr. Burr. Did you make any reply to that postscript? A I did not. I answered the letter itself.
Mr. Hay complimented col. McKee's letters; declaring them to be excellent models of the Epistolary style.
Mr. Burr here observed that a number of witnesses whom he had summoned, had gone away during his indisposition; and that he had but one more witness to produce, except to establish certain circumstances against gen. Eaton.
Mr. Blennerhassett then requested that a Mr. Gates might be called in on his behalf.
GATES.
Mr. Bl. Will you state what you know about the seizing of the boats and provisions near Marietta? A I was present at the time of seizing the boats. There were a few barrels of kilo-dried corn meal on board and a few barrels of apples belonging to Mr. Putnam. Q Did you see any officers on duty? A I saw militia officers, gen. Buel and his aid-de-camp major Clark. Q Were you a militia man? A I told them they had no right to call upon me in that character, during my present capacity.
Mr. Blennerhassett. You had been used only to carry a fife and not a musquet? A Yes. Q Did they accept of your apology for not acting? A They said, that if I would attend at 12 o'clock with my musquet, I should be immediately discharged. Mr. Bl. Did you see any authority under which general Buel acted? A Yes. He showed me a paper, which he said was his authority from gov. Tiffin. Q Did you see the boat that was built for my family? what has become of it? A The last time I saw it, it lay in a very uneasy posture near Marietta.
Cross-Examined.
Mr. Wirt. As far as I understand you, you were called on to attack the boats? A Yes. Q And you were unwilling to do it? A I was. Q That is you were willing to whistle and not to fight? A Yes.
The following deposition of Charles Fenton Mercer was then offered on the part of the accused, and read. City of Richmond and State of Virginia.
Personally appeared before me Edward Carrington, one of the magistrates for the city of Richmond aforesaid, Charles Fenton Mercer, of the county of Lou. doun and state aforesaid, a witness summoned to attend the trial of Aaron Burr, who being duly sworn on the Holy Evangelists of Almighty God, deposed as follows, viz. That having been called to the neighborhood of Point Pleasant at the mouth of the Great Kenawha, between the 20th of September and the 6th December, 1806, to transact some business relative to an estate which he has in the county of Mason, he became acquainted with Mr. Harman Blennerhassett through the intro-
duction of Mr. J. Alston of South Carolina, once a fellow-student of the deponent's in the college of New Jersey. This acquaintance commenced about the 1st of Nov. near an open boat on the Ohio, in which Mr. Alston attended by his family with a carriage and a pair of horses, accompanied by Mr. Bl. was descending the river as far as Kentucky from whence he expected to prosecute his journey home by land. The reputation which Mrs. Bl. had acquired for talents, learning & taste and an eccentric and somewhat romantic life, rendered this unexpected interview one of the most interesting events which occurred to this deponent during his residence on the Ohio, and he accepted with pleasure an invitation from Mr. Blennerhassett to visit his then pleasant and once much celebrated Island. It is true, that about that period, and for several weeks before, reports were in circulation that Mr. Blennerhassett was engaged with col. Burr in some common enterprise, which many persons imputed a highly criminal design. But these reports and especially the injurious suspicions often connected with them, seemed to have arisen from pre-existing prejudices against col. Burr which it was not difficult to trace to an origin very remote from the designs now ascribed to him; as the reports were belied and propagated by those who spoke of them with a conviction and a zeal proportioned to their ignorance or malignity, and as they were in themselves most improbable, absurd and ridiculous, the deponent considered them entitled to no serious consideration. About the middle of November, the deponent again saw Mr. Blennerhassett at the house of col. Andrew Lewis on the Ohio three miles above Point Pleasant where he alighted from his horse for an hour or two in his journey from Kentucky — In a conversation which then occurred, he adverted with much sensibility to the reports above mentioned, which had then become more current, and to which every day was adding some new exaggeration, and declared them to be utterly false. He was the last man in the world he said, who would be disposed to disturb the peace or impair the prosperity of the United States. Weary of political agitation in his native country, he had sought, he added, and found an asylum in America, the tranquility of which he could never violate. "He had indeed" he admitted, "united with col. Burr (whom public rumour had injured as much as himself) in the plan of colonizing and improving a large tract of country on the Red River, originally granted by the king of Spain to one Baron Bastrop, and lately purchased by col. Burr of a gentleman of Kentucky. The tract contained 800,000 acres, and the consideration which col. Burr and himself were to pay for it was 40,000 dollars but by distributing a part of it in hundred acre farms among a number of emigrants whom such an inducement they expected, would invite to join them, they had no doubt on the most moderate estimate, of being able to raise the value of the remainder to more than $1,000,000 — Mr. Blennerhassett declined the pressing invitation of colonel Lewis to make a longer suspension of his journey, alledging as his reason for prosecuting it with the greater rapidity, that the servant who accompanied him had been sent to him in Kentucky by Mrs. Blennerhassett to urge his immediate return home for the protection of his house from the fury of a mob who had threatened to burn it down. He added also, that he expected to leave the island in ten or twelve days after his return, as it was his intention to move his family down the river before the severity of the approaching winter set in and renewing his former invitation to the deponent, politely, hoped that he would commence his journey to the interior of Virginia within that period.
[To be continued.]
From the National Intelligencer.
At the request of Mr. Vanzandt, the following circular addressed to the members of the house of representatives of the U. S. is inserted.
WASHINGTON CITY, 29th Oct. 1807. SIR,
I FEEL compelled from the duty I owe to myself and family, to answer the charges which were on Monday last so unexpectedly advanced against my character, of having improperly divulged the secret proceedings of the house, during the first session of the ninth congress. The charges themselves give me no uneasiness, for I can prove them to be totally unfounded and which even admitting them to be true would constitute no breach of confidence or honor. But I might have expected that the gentleman from Virginia, who made
them, would at least have shown some respect for my feelings in the manner in which he introduced them to the knowledge of the house. He had during the last summer received from me a personal notice at his own house, of my intention of applying for the office of clerk of the house of representatives. He ought then to have stated the objections he had to my character, or have taken the course usually adopted against a candidate. Had he given me notice of his intention of stating publicly to the house his objections to me, I would have been prepared with such evidence as must have removed all unfavorable impressions from the minds of those who were unacquainted with me. But to rise suddenly in his place, and that too after a second ballot for clerk, to address a public body, many of whom were unacquainted with me, to bring charges against my character without leaving me the power of self defence, was a course of conduct, the propriety of which I must leave to himself to explain, and to the public to judge.
But it is not the object of this address to recriminate; nor shall I advert to the singularity of permitting a public denunciation of the character of a private individual to have its intended effect where the privilege of self defence is not also permitted. — I shall briefly state the circumstances which gave rise to Mr. Randolph's impressions.
At the commencement of the secret proceedings of the first session of the ninth congress, no precaution was taken by the house to have doorkeepers stationed at each of the passages leading to the hall of the house to prevent persons from listening. It was not therefore to be wondered at if the nature and subject of the debates should accidentally transpire while curiosity respecting them was so much alive. A gentleman by the name of Charles Evans did discover what was the subject of those debates, and heard the Speeches of Messrs. Randolph and Eppes. He communicated the substance of them publicly, and I immediately afterwards communicated what I had heard from him to Mr. Bedinger, then a member from Kentucky, with the express view of convincing him how easy it was for the proceedings of the house to become public notwithstanding the order for closing the doors; and it is highly probable that Mr. Bedinger repeated to other members, without being particular in relating also the manner in which I became possessed of a knowledge of the debates. And it is a matter of notoriety that such is the strength and clearness of the voice of Mr. Randolph that it can be heard even out side of the walls of the capitol.
Mr. Bedinger after my communication to him, frequently assured me that he was taking every precaution to prevent the possibility of any prejudice to my character, which might result from the nature of the communication I had made to him — I have written to him to verify this statement. Had I been guilty of any breach of confidence, is it to be supposed I would have communicated what I had so improperly discovered to a member of the very body whose secret proceedings I am charged with having disclosed? Or being an officer that I would in so palpable a manner, have exposed myself to the censure of the house and to public disgrace.
It has been said that I was found listening in the committee room adjoining the house of representatives. This charge I also declare to be unfounded. I never was in that committee room but one during the session of the house with closed doors, and then I was in company with Mr. Birch, jun. one of the clerks, upon business relating to the office. And besides the Sergeant at arms and a late clerk in the office were in the room at the time we entered it, and I did not hear any thing of what was going on in the house. The charge of listening at the gallery door I absolutely deny.
The gentleman from Virginia, my unjust and cruel accuser, has stated that I confessed my fault and apologised for it to him. In this particular he is very incorrect. On hearing during that session that he had brought into the house some charge of the same kind, I waited on him and informed him what I have here stated with which he then appeared to be perfectly satisfied. If he construed any thing I then said into an apology he must have strangely misunderstood me. It would not however be strange if he had forgotten the particulars of a conversation that happened nearly two years ago. Had he or any other member believed the report to be correct at the time it was first circulated, would not some inquiry have been instituted into it, and if proved guilty my dismissal from office have then taken place. But no mention of it was ever made after my conversation with Mr. Randolph. And
I repeat is that with the statements I then made to him he appeared to be perfectly satisfied.
From that period I have been continued in the office as principal clerk and for a considerable time during the last session acted as clerk of the house.
In addressing you sir on this subject, the solicitude I feel for my character is my only object. Had I met with an adversary against whom I could have been permitted to contend on equal grounds, or have given me notice of his intended attack, I might perhaps have been your choice as clerk of the house and enjoyed an eligible situation for the support of my family. But was on Monday last so undeservedly assailed, and to return my thanks to those who gave me their support, are the only objects I have now in view.
I have the honor to be, Very respectfully, Sir, your obedient servant, NICHOLAS B. VANZANDT.
October 28th, 1807.
I Charles Evans, of George Town, in the district of Columbia, do hereby certify and declare, that the foregoing statement by Mr. Vanzandt, as far as the same respects my public communication, is strictly true.
CHARLES EVANS.
Witness, John Thompson.
City of Washington, Oct. 27, 1807.
I DO hereby certify that on the day alluded to, by the hon. John Randolph, I myself went into the committee room, in consequence of the door being open, and without key, with Mr. J. W. King, and stood by the fire to prevent strangers from entering; that I asked Mr. King if he could hear any thing said in the house; he said no, not a word. We then sat down by the fire. Soon after came in Mr. Vanzandt and Mr. Burch, and went to a map near the door entering the representatives room, when I informed them the house was on confidential business, and they immediately left the committee room.
JOSEPH WHEATON, Sergeant at Arms.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
PHILADELPHIA, October 31.
By the brig Ariel arrived at this port last evening, from Bristol, we have received English papers to the 12th of September inclusive, containing London advices of the 10th — from which we have made some extracts for this day's Register.
The dates from the continent, are not so late by this arrival as those heretofore received.
LONDON, September 8.
FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE.
Admiralty Office, September 2.
Rear admiral sir Edward Pellew, commander in chief of his majesty's ships and vessels in the East Indies, has transmitted to this office a letter which he had received from lieutenant William Warden, acting commander of his majesty's sloop Rattlesnake, dated at Kedgeree, the 24th January 1807, giving an account of the capture & subsequent destruction of a French brig privateer, Les Deux Sœurs, of 16 guns, and 130 men, while on shore, inside Cheduba, whither she had proceeded from the isle of France.
The rear admiral expresses the highest approbation of lieutenant Warden's persevering and judicious conduct in overcoming the local difficulties attending the destruction of the above vessel.
Paris papers have arrived to the 24th ult. and Dutch to the 4th. Private letters from Holland, as we have already mentioned, state the surrender of Copenhagen to have taken place on the 25th. There is an article from Kiel dated on the 27th; but it states that all communication with Zealand and Sweden has been cut off for some days; the surrender of Copenhagen, therefore, on the 25th, might not have been known there on the 27th. It was natural to expect that much of the attention of the Paris and Dutch journalists would be occupied with our expedition. The language of the Moniteur, and indeed all the articles relative to the expedition affords abundant proof of the rage of Bonaparte at our having disappointed him in his views upon the Danish navy, and pays the best compliment that could have been paid to the vigor, promptitude and decision of our government.
The governor of Holstein, alluding to conduct of the late administration, speaks of it as "having long neglected its own interests by a shameful inactivity, and having betrayed its allies into a vexatious

and uncertain struggle," he then adds, that our government has "suddenly developed all its power and activity to attack a neutral and peaceable state, without any complaint against the same. The means employed against the ancient and sacred conventions which united Denmark to Great Britain, have been prepared with as much secrecy as promptitude. The Danish government saw the English ships of war upon their coast without even the conjecture that they were to be employed against Denmark." But Bonaparte promises Denmark men and money enough to carry her through the contest. What his men can effect she will soon feel; for he will send them to take possession of Holstein under the pretext of defending it against the English. Money he has not to send, and if he could, it would be of no use against the navy of England.
It is said we have taken possession of Heligoland. The intelligence of the surrender of Heligoland is confirmed. The account in the French papers states that early on the morning of the 16th, the trenches were opened close under the wall—on the four following days the trenches were carried on so far that in 48 hours more the town might have been set on fire, and a practicable breach made. The king then listened to the entreaties of the inhabitants and the advice of his generals, and carried off the whole Swedish garrison to Rugen, and after demolishing the works on the side of the island of Rugen, thus exposed the new occupants of the town to considerable danger in that quarter. Marshal Brune knew nothing of the city having been evacuated till he was informed of it by his Swedish majesty's adjutant general and a deputation of magistrates who went to him at six o'clock in the evening of the 20th ult. The French entered it an hour afterwards. Bonaparte has availed himself of the opportunity afforded him by the surrender of Heligoland to indulge his rancor and hatred of the king of Sweden, who shall never, he declares, set his foot again in Pomerania.
Bonaparte has fresh cause to rejoice in the treaty of Tilsit, for the accounts from Constantinople, published by the French themselves, confess that the Turks have been worsted by sea and land—that they have been driven back to this side the Dardanelles—that the captain Pacha's fleets had been defeated with great slaughter—that the two attempts against the Russians at Penedes have failed, and that in short misfortunes have every where attended the Turkish arms. But for the treaty of Tilsit the Turks would have sued for peace almost upon any terms; the Russian army in Turkey would have joined the Russian army in Poland, and the whole force of the Russian Empire would have been opposed to France. These considerations will probably not tend to increase the popularity of the peace in Russia.
The Monitor contains the addresses to Bonaparte from the Legislative body and the tribunal, with the minister of the interior's report of the state of France—These documents are much too long for insertion in our paper. The new minister of the interior has signified his entrance upon his official career by an equal contempt of truth with his predecessors. He charges us with having precipitated Prussia into a war, though we ourselves at that time were in a state of hostility with Prussia. The minister confines his attention every day almost wholly to the state of the interior of France. We believe if we were to refer to the annual reports of the state of France for five or six years back, we should find nearly the same magnificent boasts, couched in the same phrases, of what public works and improvements were about to be undertaken. The fact is that with all Bonaparte's flourishing representations, he has done little or nothing for the benefit of the interior or the people of France; he has been gaining battles, he has been founding new kingdoms, creating kings and princes and dukes, but what advantage the people of France derived from a policy in which the gratification of the gigantic ambition of one man has been the great and almost the sole object in view.
September 9. No dispatches have yet been received from admiral Gambier later than the 22d of last month—and no further intelligence has arrived from Holland, either in confirmation or contradiction of the account transmitted in private letters of the 3d, received by the mercantile house to which we alluded yesterday. Measures of additional rigour have been adopted in consequence of the success of it, to prevent all communication or correspondence with that country—The Eda and another vessel which sailed a few days ago from Gravesend
end with passengers for Rotterdam, under Kniphausen colors, have been obliged to return to Yarmouth, after being warned off by the guard ship stationed at Helvoetsluys. They requested leave to purchase some provisions, but were ordered to proceed to sea immediately, and seek for better quarters.
In their passage to Yarmouth they spoke a pilot-boat, which informed, that every vessel coming from England direct would be confiscated, and that the master and passengers would be marched to the Flag and put in confinement. It is reported that count Palsey and M. & Madame Deshayes, who sailed a few days ago for Holland, have either been ordered to return to this country, or have been put under arrest.
We are glad to find the rumor of the U. States having given our government only four days to decide upon our answer to the dispatches brought by the Revenge schooner is wholly unfounded. We did not indeed attach any credit to it. The differences between the two countries are to be, as they ought to be, deliberately discussed. The U. S. are said to be willing to allow the search for goods under certain circumstances, but not to allow any vessel bearing their flag to be searched for men. But in order to identify British and American seamen, they propose that a gens shall be stationed in every commercial port in each country before whom all complaints shall be heard and decided, and every seaman given up to that nation to which he is found to belong.— Courier.
A letter received in town by the China fleet lately arrived, affords some hope that sir T. Trowbridge may still be living. It is dated Bombay, Jan. 7, and says, after mentioning the arrival of a packet from England—"Sir T. Trowbridge has his flag on board the Lion."
Another letter from on board the Lion, dated China March 22 is silent with respect to sir Thomas, but states that captain Rolls of that ship had rendered great services to the East India company during the late disturbances.
A vessel arrived at Arbroath was chased by some of the Danish pilot boats coming down the Sound, on the 22d ult. and saw a ship belonging to Hull on fire.
Expedition against Madeira.
A force it is said, is to be immediately despatched from this country to take possession of Madeira. It is to consist we understand of three thousand men, to be commanded by general Berresford.
The 3d, 25th, 34th, 33d and 91st regiments are mentioned as being intended for this service.
A number of transports which are to be victualled for three months have been ordered to assemble at Portsmouth where the embarkation is to take place. The troops are also to be furnished with camp equipage. A deputy adjutant general, inspector of hospitals, two physicians, and two surgeons are to be part of the staff. This expedition is expected to sail in the course of next week.
The expedition it is believed, has been resolved on in consequence of intelligence received by government of the hostile designs of France and Spain against Portugal and its possessions. It is of importance not only to our ally, but to our East India and other ships which call there, that the island of Madeira should be preserved from the Gripe of Napoleon.
A proclamation has been issued at Hamburg, prohibiting all English goods from being introduced into Holstein, unless they can be accompanied with original certificates that they are on neutral account, and are imported from neutral ports.
We understand that upwards of ten thousand men have volunteered from the militia regiments into the line before the first of Sept. the period at which volunteering was to begin regularly.
The Danish government it is said was just on the point of concluding a treaty with France by which the latter would have obtained possession of all the naval force of the former, & the island of Zealand, at the moment our forces arrived.

Extract of a letter from Halifax, dated October 9.
"We have received here by the packet, accounts of the arrival in England of the United States schooner Revenge, with the instructions relative to the Chesapeake affair. Our apprehensions of war still continue. It is said our government has received orders to embody 2000 militia; that three regiments of regular troops for this place have embarked from Cork; and that six of the regiments now at Copenhagen, are under orders to proceed hither."
Note communicated by Lord Howick to Mr Munroe dated January 10th 1807.
The undersigned, his majesty's principal secretary of state of foreign affairs, has received his majesty's commands to acquaint Mr Munroe, that the French government having issued certain orders, in violation of the usages of war, purport to prohibit the commerce of all neutral nations with his majesty's dominions, and also to prevent such nation from trading with any other country in any articles, the growth produce or manufacture of his majesty's dominions. And the said government having taken upon itself to declare all his majesty's dominions to be in a state of blockade, at a time when the fleets of France and her allies are themselves confined within their own ports by the superior valor and discipline of the British navy.
Such attempts on the part of the enemy, giving to his majesty an unquestionable right of retaliation, and warranting his majesty in enforcing the same prohibition of all commerce with France, which that power vainly hopes to effect against the commerce of his majesty's subjects, a prohibition which the superiority of his majesty's naval forces might enable him to support, by actually investing the ports and coasts of the enemy with numerous squadrons & cruisers, so as to make the entrance or approach thereto manifestly dangerous:
His majesty, though unwilling to follow the example of his enemies, by proceeding to an extremity so distressing to all nations not engaged in war, and carrying on their accustomed trade; yet feels himself bound by a due regard to a just defence of the rights & interests of his people, not to suffer such measures to be taken by the enemy, without taking some steps on his part, to restrain the violence, and to resort upon them the evils of their own injustice.
Mr. Munroe is therefore requested to apprise the American consuls and merchants residing in England, that his majesty has therefore judged it expedient to order that no vessel shall be permitted to trade from one port to another, both which ports shall belong to or be in possession of France or her allies, or shall be so far under their control, as that British vessels may not fairly trade therein, and that the commanders of his majesty's ships of war, and privateers have been instructed to warn every neutral vessel, coming from any such port and destined to another such port, to discontinue her voyage and not to proceed to any such port.
And every vessel, after being so warned, or any vessel coming from any such port, after a reasonable time shall have been afforded for receiving information of this his majesty's order, which shall be found proceeding to another such port, shall be captured and brought in, and, together with her cargo, shall be condemned as lawful prize; and that from this time all the measures authorised by the law of nations, and the respective treaties between his majesty and the different neutral powers will be adopted, and executed with respect to vessels attempting to violate the said order after this notice.
