things tha, gen. Wilkinson had received a
letter from gen. Dayton, in whieh was these
remarkable words 'Lousia,aa s. 41exico-
Burr 81 Wilk;nson." When public dis
closure Of this plot was afterwards made,
shys letter Of general Dsysou's was every.

but had understood that this letter was
read there as we'll az before the superior

In the houseof representatives general

Extract Of a letter, received at Nassau, New
Providence, dated
New- Orleans, A1ay2, 1907.
g You have no doubt heard much noise re-
lative to Burr's conspiracy--W isknson, the
chief trumpetcr of this tale, is here and the
people of the United States almost universally
suspect him Of being in Spanish Pay-andl
that he has more at heart the prosperity othls
Catholic majesty, than that OF the Y. States.
There can be no doubt but he will be removed
from the command of the American army !;
when this shall take place, and an honest brave
man be invested with its command, We may
safely calculate on a war with Spain; which
netting but the venal conduct OF Wilkinson
has prevented There are now vast number
of Spanish officers in tits city--two COVER
nors and the commander Of the Spanish gal
lies. Wilkinson dimes with them frequently !;
and no doubt some mischief is now brewing
The day before yesterday was the anniversary
of the treaty Of Paris by which we acquired
Louisiana. 1t has hitherto been devoted to
Joy and hilasity-but on this, not gun was
hrea--and the day passed without celebration
owing, il is supposed, to fear OF Giving
offence to his Catholic majesty's officers

never be content while Wilkinson remains III

composing every description of letter ne
