tur were sworn and conducted to the
grandiury.
Erick Bollman was then called and
appeared. Before he was sworn Mr..
Hay informed the court that hehad made
a full communication to the government
Of the plans, the designs, and views oil
A. Burr. As these communications
might crimiuate Dr.. B. before the
grand jury, the President had communal
Gated his pardon-which Mr.. Hay here
offered to DR.. B. and which the latter
refused accepting.
The counsel for Burr commended tina,
this did not amount to a pardon, and
that consequently Bollman could not be
called upon to answer questions which
might criminate himself. This point
was contested by the opposite counsel
DR.. Bollman was sent to the grand jury
without any special intimation the point
under discussion being referred for. fu-
ture consideration.
- William Duane, Peter Taylor, -
Albright, and Jacob Dunbar were swori
and sent to the grand jury.
On Monddy gen. Wilkinson was sworn
and conducted TO the grand jury. A
long argument was had on motion made
BY the counsel of Mr.. Burr, to instruct
the grand jury not to receive written pa
pers as testimony. The decision Of the
court is not"given. Mr.. Hay proposed
sending to the grand jury the letter part.
ly in c,ph-r and partly in German. ad-
dressed TO some person in New-Orleans,
and sid Hr. w, lie could prove its
idsntity, ard DR.. b, interpretit. This
was strcHno.]s!H opposed by Mr.. Burr's
counsel. W, lie was called into court,
and interrosAtv as to his knowledge of
this letter. These questions BY the ad-
vice of his counsel, he declined answer.
ing, under the allegation that the an
swers would criminate himself as much
as Mr.. Burr. Here long argument en-
sued on compelling Mr.. Wyilie to an
swer the proposed questions, which was
not finished this day.
90 Tuesday Mr.. Hay produced let
ter to him from the President OF the u.
S. stating that the letter ofgenea al Wiki.
inson of the 2lst Oct. had been placed
in the hands of the attorney general when
he went to Richmond in March, aud
that it was either in his hands, or in those
Of Mr.. Hay and giving permission to.
Mr.. Hay to disclose its contents, under
the exercise Of discEction to withhold
any parts not material for the purposes
of iustice.-Asto the orders issued BY
the war and navy departments, the Presi-
dent observes that they were cores
pondence Of many months with a variety
ofofRcers, asks for a specification Of the
papers required, and states that the Sc
cretarv of war had been desired to search
his official papers, and that whatever
should be found that was deemed mate
rial should be communicated. ''.
The rest Of the dav was occupied on
the question relative to Mr.. Wyilie with
out bringing the argument to a close.
