The enquirer. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1804-1815, 1806-11-07

| RUMoas.--We have received no poftive in.
formation respecting the truth of the reports,
ttated in our lah. Numbcrlefs other tales are
however aHoat.
Some report that Col. Burr has purchafed
large quantity of provitioRs, in the fate of
Ohio, more than fufficicnt for any ordinary
purpofe.
Others alIert that Col. Burr intends to eta.
oiiih Tome large manufacturing mills on the O.
hio, for which he has made thefe and other
preparations.
Another report reprefents him as being en-
lifted in Miranda's expedition, and intending
to join him with the ten gun-hoats, which be
rs Laid to be building on the Ohio.
But all thele are mere rumors the dreams
perhaps OF a jealous imagination. Ite have
tsrn no other account in print fnce the pubii-
cation 0f our lat paper, fave only the article
which we have extracted from the Farmers CT
6inef, publihed at Amherft lin the Ditritt of
Maine) aud very fhort paragraph in the Alrx-
andria Expofitor.
If the Farmer'5 Cabinet correctly quotes the
letter to Gen. Eaton, it fufiicently proves
that certain fufpicions were entertained about
Col. Burr, at Marietta, the reputed Theatre
OF action, as long ago as the middle Of Sep
TENDER. What is the expedition which Col.
Burr has cndeavoured to undertake." is be-
yond our ingenuity even to conjecture. 1t is
It'll more difficult TO conceive of any armed
expedition, that Col. Burr could fit out in the
U. States, which could be Represented even
BY bfmisf as" a hau6nble and honorable nuder-
taxing"
Inc ExpeEfor ftates, that the following ru-
mors had Sc very wide circulation in the
town of Alexandria "that the Preiident has
iiiued procefs charge of 6ieb treaIon to
arrcf certain individual, who once food high
IN the opinion of his countrymen, and whole
late conda9 in the weltern country has been
marked by public fufpicion. Other reports are
added, till more alarming. To fay We credit
them would be TO violate truth, but Till we
think, tomethng unpleafant has occurred"

a man mue indeed be in the habit of feeling
ipectrss in every buih, before he could fcent

incidents as theft. Let us wait for fome more
ioIid evidences of confpracy, ere we finally de.
liver Up the name OF Col. Burr to the iii of
traitors. AT the fame time let us recolletf the
character of the being with whom we have "a
