FACTS!
We have some advices of date as late
as The 27sh Of October, from the Missls.
sippi. The officers OF he government un-
der the direction Of III. president OF the
United States, have been a considerable
time engaged 10 Investigations concerning
the conspiracy of which MI. Burr is the
head, and in which several persons IN that
neighborhooe ale at least represented to be
implicated.
We also learn, that the Spanish COVER
nor general of eastern New Mexico, don
Saloda, had arrived at Nachltochrs aud de-
ciared the rupture of the convention be-
tween the Spanish governor Carcero, and
declared his determination not TO regard 1t,
snd to return 20 this side of the Sabine and
occupy and maintain all the territory which
the Spaniards claimed, even at the risk OF
all Mexico and that there was an army OF
thirtu thousand men, marching from Mex,
leo TO his support. The corresPondent"ho
communicates the above is OF the most re-
