422.RESt OF COLONSI

Nrw-roax, arm 4

Aaron Tarr, Ex:Vice-President of the Unneil
is now in this guarded as a sate

sorer.

tN:; hsve had no opportunity of conversing •ah
his e‘cort ; but a gentleman. who bevelled with
them in the stage, has given us the following account
of the manner of his arrest, obtained from their lips.
Cnl. Bair was apprehended in Tombigbee coun.
try, in the first days of March; perhaps the ed, in
the following manner :*
A gentleman, whose name is represented to us to.
be Perkins. wrs at a public house, in a village in
that country. view miles (perhaps 1/4 or 1.01, from
the Spanish line. He was in company with the
Sheriff or the county. .

Abact eleven o'clock.at night, a gentlunan rod:
up tote door, and inquired for the horse of A
MAjor, olho lived in the neighbourhood. He was
followed by another, who turned out ti. be :8;s com-
panion. The strangers were told, that the house of
the Major they inquired for, was at some distance
from the tavern; and that they would have to cress
a watercourse which had been s‘ct.!len by the
wutersoind migh: be dangerous (4 3.:Cefs. Tne
strangers, however, persevered in their intention,
and left the door of the tavern.

Mr. Perkins was surprised by these singular.
movements :—That men, at that late hour of a
cold night, shduld leave the corafatzs of il!asern,
and explcre a dangerous toad, of valsieh they were
professedly ignorant, was a floured of considerade
astonishment. It !Will ally led to tome speculation
upon the .chiraffer of the strangers s and he could
not start any rational explanation of the!r mysterious
tsoncluel, hut that they were robbert, who intend:d
to pilfer tb,7„ Mayur's house. He determined; tf
sible, to prevent their design t aad prevailed up.,n•
his companion (the. Shailf) to accompany hint to
Uric Naar of• Meditated tobbety. _ _

When they arrived,. the Maior ten; from home.
One of the Gzatlemen WAS in the hause ; the ober
had retired to the kit‘hen, to warm his limbs. The
first glance which Mr. caught of this visit-
ant of the kitchen. ccevrt:ad him that the mysteri.
ous stranFer was. no o,her than Colonel Burr. Whe.
ther Mr. Pet kins recognized- biro from a previous
acquaintance with his person, or from the fire of his
eye, ths shape *his face and person, so well corres.
I,,ndieg u Cara description which Ito had received of
him, the. k:entleman with whoas we hall conversed
was ice=petent to inform us. Certain it is, Mr.
Vcrkias sn:peaed that the stranger who stood before
him, with his-white hat sirtitch:d. over his face, and
with all the habiliments so eerie:lly ci:Oreist 'two
those in which he commonly appears, was arc very
man whose name had runs or several mouths
one corner of the I.lnitarf states to the other.—lt was
Aran Burr.

Mr. P. determined to arrest him. He
,repaircd
to Fort Stoddart op tie MoWe., and prevailed upon
I.ieut. Gaines (the Commandant at that Fort) to
accompany him with a small file of soldiers. In
the mean time, Colonel Burr had sent back his corn.
passim; (by the nails* of Mille!, Whose name was
menti-med in oitr last papers under the FtAnkfoit
bead) for some ;Amos* unknown ; and requested
Lis new companibm the Sherif, to show Lim on the
way to the Spanish Lire.
On the road, they met the file of soldiers, accom•
panied by Mr. Perkins and Lientenant Gaines.—
" What," says Colonel Barr—cr in wr.rds to that
eftWt, " Do soldiers travel here in this style, on
horseback ?"—"Ne,"answercd his companion. Co.
lona Butt is said to have 'immediately dropt his
bridle, and clasping his bands together, to have ut-
tered some ejaculation of vehement emotion; what
that was, we cannot trust ourselves to describe.
Lieutenant Gaines advanced up to him, and inter
rogatcd him, whether he was not Colonel Burr ?
The scene closed, by Lietrenant Gaines'; ominous
words L.--u Yun are my prisoner, Sir."
An escort of eight men accompanied Col. Burr
from that quarter of the country, on their way to
eWashington. They crossed at Cole's Ferry ;on
Monday morning, between the hours of eleven and
tss Ave. hey passed Prince Edward Court-House.
On Wednesday evening, about flee o'clock, they at-
lived in Fredcrickshurgh. licit they met with a
gentleman from Washington, uho was iiliruded to
order them to Richmond and an last evening the
stage cnnveyc3 to our city, Cul. Burr and his
escort of seven Imo.

He is c:mdt;.qed ti this city, to tinJergo an 01:1-
minci,,n twirl., the Chief Justice Nisisbal ;
citcurnstances concur to recomre;oal the choice of
this trihnn.l.

Whether we consider the nature of the crime, or
the eliaratiet of the criminal, the witnesses who will
be loaught up, the Counsel by whom it will be ar-
gued, or the curiosity of the nation, this trial will
be one of the most impressive spec ticks which
this or any other city in the UciteslS.lLCll has ever
witnessed.
