COL. BURR.
Our readers will perceive, By the pre-
sidens's proclamation, that it is thought
the cnterprize now on foot is inteuded a,
ga'sst The dominions of Spain, and that
b} the communication made BY the go
werner OF this state to the legislature, it is
thought TO be against The Orleans and Lou
is'ana territories. We understand that the
gentleman who the governor a!lutles to in
his message as clothed by the u S with a
pubic character, was authorised by the
president 10 obtain all the Information he
could in the western country, and who
used every possible means to that effect,
aud also certainly discovered from gen
tleman who was urged to engage in the
enterprise, that it was to attack and seize
the city of New Orleans and that terrific
rs, aud that the person who made that dis
covery has been sen. on to the city of
Washington, to be personally examined
by the president: II is therefore presuma-
bic that'by this time the whole affair has
been more tul'y developed: be this, how.
ever, as IT NAV, little nore time will
entirely unfold this mysterious: business,
and we doubt not but the energetic mea-
sufes OF the general governmeus, Of the
western states government, and the pa.
trio'ism of our fellow citizens, will bring
al! HE nefa'Ious schemes 20 naughs, and
that the intended evil will recoil, with ten
fold weight on vhe deludcd heads Of all
traitors to their country.
On Tuesday the eecond inst. the governor
