part of the affidavit, great and obvious I
objections, need not be stated to those
who know with how much caution pro-
ceedlngs in criminal cases ought to be
instituted, and who know that the high
est tribunal OF the United States has beed
divided on them. When this question
came before the supreme court l felt the
full force OF these objections, although
did not yield to them On weighing in
my own mind, the reasons for and a.
gainst acting, in this stage of the bust
ness, on that part of the affidavit, those
IN favour of doing SO appeared to me to
PrePonderate, and, as this opinion was
not overruled, hold myself still at IL
berty to conform to it.
That the original letter, or a true COPY
OF 1t, accompanied by the cypher, would
have been much more satisfactory, is
not to be denied: but thought, and |
still think that, upon n mere question,
whether the accused shall be brought to
trial or not, upon an inquiry, not into
quit, but into the probable cause, the
omission OF circumstance which is in
deed important, but which does not dis
prove the positive allegations Of an affi-
davit, ought not to induce its rejection,
or Its absolute disbelief, when the max
er OF the affidavit is, at too great a dis
lance to repair the fault. | could not
IN this stage ofthe prosecution, absolute
ly dlscredit the affidavit, because the
material facts alleged, may very well be
within the knowledge of the witness, al
though he has failed to state explicitly
all the means by which this knowledge
was obtained.
Thus, gen. Wilkinson states that this
letter was received from col. Burr, but
does not say that it was in his hand writ
ing, nor does he state the evidence which
supports this affirmation. But, in addi-
ton to the circumstance thatthe positive
assertion of the fact ought not, perhaps.
in this stage Of the inquiry to be disre
garded, the nature of the case furnishes
that evidence.
The letter was in CIPHER. Gen. VIII.
Elnson, 1t is true, does not say that a cv-
rher had been previously settled be-
tween col. Burr and himself, in which
they might correspond on subiectsw which
though Innocent, neither of them mich.

er Of its key, or that the key was previ-
ously IN possession of the person to
whomthe letter was addressed. In STA
ting particularly the circumstances at
tending the delivery of this letter, gen.
Wilkinson does not say that it was &C
companled by the KEY, or that he felt
any surprise at its being in CIPHER. For
this reason, as well as because there is
not much more security in sending a let
ter IN CIPHER accompanied by its key,
than there IS in sending a letter not in
cypher, think it more reasonable to
suppose that the key was previously in
possession of Wilkinson. If this was
the tact, the letter being written in a cv-
pher previously settled between himself
and col. Burr, is, in this stage of the in
curry at least, circumstance which suf-
hclently supports the assertion that the
letter was written by col. Burr.
The enterprise described in this letter
IS obviously military enterprise, and
must have been intended either against
the United States, or against the terri
tories OF some other power on the con-
tlnent, with all of whom the u. States
were at peace.
The expressions of this letter must be
admitted to furnish at least probable
cause for believing that the means for the
contemplated expedition were provided.
In every part of it we find declarations
indicating that he was providing the
means for the expedition and as these
means might be provided in secret,
do not think that further testimony
ought to be required to satisfy me that
there is probable cause for committing
the prisoner on this cause.
Since it will be entirely in the power
OF the Attorney-Gencral to prefer an in
dictment against the prisoner for any o.
ther offence which he shall think himself
possessed of testimony to support, it is
IN fact immaterial whether the second
charge be expressed in the warrant of
commitment or not as / hold it To be
my duty to insert every charge alleged
on the part of the United States, in sup
port OF which probable cause is shown,
and to insert none in support of which
probable cause is not shown, lam bound
to proceed in the inquiry.
To be continued. !

They have ALTO more abundant means for a

Their province of Ukraine, 70 abundant in

The French, on the other (ide, have greater

&c modes and improvements. of war, which
like la5our- faving machines, enable a few men
to do the work of many.--But all thrft advan-
tages will not avail! them, if the Rufians con-
tinuc to pour almof all their troops into Po-
iand, nnleis they abundantiy recruit their ar
mics from the bofom of France and their allied
countries. 1t is a fact that confcripts are
marching from France; and 70 great is the
demand for folders, that even the troops tati-
oned at Brannau are to be replaced by the al
l'ies.-But how much frefs is to be laid upon
this circun.fance, in our calculating the chan
ces of the war, we know not ; as the prefent
confcriptions and re ru;tings of their army are
wrapt in obfcurity.
Thelaf paragraph however fuggeas one i'm.
portant doubt sviN the Rufians detach as
many troops, as is nece(Tary, to Poland will
they not too much weaken their army, by fead-
ing detachments into Turkey Are they not
~ieading more troops there, than is u~ecefary to
prevent the Porte from breaking in upon them
in Poland? Is it good policy for them at this
time 10 attempt the couquet of Turkey ?-The
lat accounts reprefcnt them as being on their
way to Confantinople.-One advantage to re-
fu!t from this courfe, certainly is, that by con
quering Turkey (probably the ardent object OF
bonaparte's ambition) they make an i'm
portant acquilition, which a.ay enable them
hereafter to make better terms with him.
But orc palpabIe disadvantage 10, that they
weaken their army in Poland ; and by fighting
for their own eInolument, rather than the pre-
fervas:ca OF Prnfha, they invaiidate their con-
nr6iion with that power, and the enthuiiafm
and activity, which are n~ecefiary for carrying on
the war.
