AS iuPpoie that you will be lolcitous to hear
the fate of public affairs here take up my pen to in
form you that Col. Burr has been here about fort
night. HIS approach gave much alarm, and thar d.
larm has generally been kept up by iuccefve runors
IL does not appear certain, however, that NOR. than
10 or so perons accompanied him, and no arm, of
any momen; have been found. There are perlons
however, oil good cbirrvation, who think lac has 500
trangers here of his party. The general aIersion
which Is made by then, Is that their object was to
iettle the Walhita lands bought OF Bafrop and GER
family many OF them are perious from whom one
hould much more readily expect a project of this
kind than any military enterprise
a" Many drpoiitions have been taken but nuthing
~ moment has come out. except, indeed that Mr.
Butler OF Kentucky, did lat week apply to an ac-
qiainianc IN Natcnez to buy up quantity Of guns
for MIR. Burr Comfort Tyler ipesks of enierations
only. MIR. Biannerhallett aud MIR. Davis Floyd have
not yet been examined.
there is at Natchez fon of gen. Nevil, and
young gentleman of the name of Wilkins and two o.
theirs OF the name OF Elliott and Robinon all laid to
be friends of MIR. Burr.
Gov. Williams reached Natchez yeAerday, but
brings no accounts of any thing particularly arthy of
notice on the river.
Col Burr is recognized appear at the iupreme
court next Monday and take his trial.
he attorney Seherai, however, IS OF opinion
that the court take cognizanoe of the offence
1t was not of the hyperion courts exiting here
when the act OF Congrefs giving federal jurid6on to
the territorial courts pafed and is indeed only
court OF errors and appeals except in civil cafes
where fprcia jury is required. On this ground he
has declined aching, at leaf acted on an appli
cation from the collector Fort Stcddert1eiatye to
offences under the revenue laws" H.
