mr.. Burr observed, that there Were ma

here Ceftslnly, however. shsy may sbs
dctsined. But why an sdjoornmens 20 g
distant day? Dir. Wnkinsan may pc g &
pectrd here every day. The attorneys
estimate Of the time is act prrhaps corr
rect. Perkins came about the same ais.,
lance as Mr.. w. is TO come; bur shS per-
formed his Journey 10 s days. VIVA. we e
want, however, is some da1a from The go

Did he certainly Identity the express {
Bot suppose ,ha. this express reached ~.
sOrlrans about the time mentioned; Mr..
Az. may come by water, and is 20 be e..
psctsd here every day. Mr.. B hoped that
,his:Ccasure would DOT be adopted: ParSl.
seulariy az il was uncertain whether or 10
: DAYS hence all of the grand jury would
meet here again. Mr.. W.may be near to
this place at this moment; and he may ar
rive almost Immediately after the jury is
adiaarned-sdioarnlhrairo from day TO day.
According 70 Mr. Drarborne's lester Mr..
~ ouch, . have b.rn here between the
2s.h aad sosh Of May. Allowing. how
ever, 6 days more than BE sasd, MI. w.
may be expected to-morrow.
Mr. Hay observed, that it was ofno sort Of
importance to him personally or officially to
what time the grand psgy was adjourned all
re wished, was that the public business
should go on alle. this prosecution closed dur
mr. the. present coart. Whether general
Wilkinson would be here torn orsow or fort
night her.,e, he knew not. He merely made
the present proposition for the accommodate
!. on Of the. grand jury. # gentlemen ens the
5 other side chose to objectsto Trend the court
would adjourn the piry from day to day be
was satisfied. lie had in the early part OF
.April, received ictter from Mr.. Rodney,
. STATING, that every exertien would be- made to
have him here Itwasnet probable that the
s messenger could baye arrived in New Orleans
before the Sd ors4th May. II general w. tra-
yelled bv land, he would not come 50 cxpcd;-s
ciousy. as Mr.. Perkins, bccaase Mr.. 2. had
exhausted the frontier parts of Georgia, of its
s horses. Such at least Was Mr.. Minniekm's
representation.
Mr.. G1artin submitted to the court, whether
twas not better to adjourn the jury from
sdayto day. A.y calculation on such a subject
was uncertain it was uncertain whether ge-
neral w. would travel sbytland or by water
butif he came by land he might certainly ira
vel further than the gentleman had allowed,
3omies per day nor would he.beeo Obliged TO
luse the same horse, as that gentleman has all
so supposed. AS, general w. was a1nilitary.
gentleman, he would not be confined to 80
miles per day- nor might he deny himself,
the convenience Of frequent relays of horses.
Andxsssappose that<he should arrive here to-
morrow, all thecther important witnesses ara
3 present and the business might be concluded,
before the time should come to which the
grand jury may be adjourned, lie hoped
therefore, that the court would not adjourn
saem to distant day /: As to himself, he said,
hedid not wish his own situation to.enter In
to the consideration fthe grand jury,3or, the
court: that certainly he ought to be OH the.
Eassern Shore on--to attend the court :but
s that notwithstanding this circumstance, he
was deterlninedto stay here, SO long as he
could ex-9ectsto do any service to the gentle
man, whom he had come to defend.
dh,. HaeSaam stated, that if gen: w. did
not even arrive here IN two or three days, In
telligenoe at least might be obtained within
