This only exasperated the officer, who

this offence the SERGEANT major was after

An attempt has long been making to-
wards All essey for a preparation 10 begin the
preliminary steps towards the trial Of A aron
Burr provided the Grand Jury find bin
against him for either Misdemeanor or
Treason. At the present rapid state Of pro-
ceeding, il is highly probable we shall know
the result sometime between Harvest and
Christmas.
One great cause Of the Slovness and diff
hculy, is the abundant paucity of legal and
other talent on the part of governments
Counsel There is George Hay, the
District Attorney for Virginia, so appointed
for his written rawlings against the seditien
act I; the same that defeated Calender the
same that gave such " lame and impotent"
testimony in the trial of Judge Chase the
same that, to speak with perfect truth, is as
far removed from CulTan or Erskine, as
from here to the other side Of the Atlantic
he is one. The next, is Alexander Nc
Rae, the would be Governor of Virginia

these men had as much talent and candor as
they have vengeance and vehemence, they

gar cause the twin-brother of Junius, and
descendant in strait line from my Lord

he could convince Jury that Burr had con-

way up and down the Ohio and if this
were not sufficient, we would have him in.

1t is highly probable, says correspondent
that the important trial now pending at
Richmond, will terminate in Col. Burr's be-
ing convicted Of the Horse. Atl-as Mr..
Bolts, attorney for the defendant, strongly
opposes the operations Of Mr. Hay, and most
otthc jury are members Of the .Jocky- Club
Our correspondent adds, that, in case of
conviction, Mr.. Duane is of opinion that he
ought to ride quarantine astride the bow

The Drawing Room announced to

for number of years past, owing to a

scnce from Court for about two years.
The Duke of Cumberland, who was
in attendance in bis Court dress, in
private apartment, near the garden
gate, gave directions to be informed as
soon as the Princess Of Wales's car
riage was approaching, which was &C.
corGingly done, and his Royal High
