February a.
On Monday the SUPREME COURT of
the u. States, commenced it's si.tings in
this city.
Letters have been received from New
Orleans as late as the 2d of January. These
state the arrest Of lieut.. Small, on charge
OF being engaged in Burr's conspiracy, and
that six boats had passed Natchcz, after
an examination.
Letters are received in this city from
Nashville, as late as January 18th. They
contain nothing material relative to Burr's
Conspiracy except the universal eXecration
In which the conspiracy and its author are
held III the state OF Tennessee. The same
sentiment exists, and we feel the pride of
an American in being able to say so, thro'-
out the whole extent of the western coun-
try.-.Adf. Intel.
There is not, we believe, the least foun-
dation for the aragraphs taken from Bri-
tIsh prints, intImAting rupture of the ne
quotations between the United States and
Great Britain.-i6.
