THE interest which the public takes at
present IN the trial of Aaron Burr, renders
1T proper for US to dedicate so large por-
-tion of our paper to a report of the proceed
Ings in his case that we have very little
room for otheroriginal matter. However,
as the state of foreign affairs and of otr
controversy with Great-Britain, are of
still more consequence to the people of a.
mcrica, than the fate of n man, who has
now probably fallen from the power of do
ing any mischief 10 the United States, we
shall endeavor not to neglect those all i'm
portant subjects, and shat continue also
oar occasional remarks on the state of po-
hsicS IN our country.
The fall of Dantzic, and the probable
triumphant progress Of Bonapartc, may i'm
duce Great-Britain, (who is certainly now
tottering ON the brink OF destruction, TO do
us justice, for her own sake. The peacea-
bic conduct of Capt. Hardy, the com!nan-
der Of the Triumph, now in Lvnhavenbav.
would seem to indicate friendly disposi-
ton towards us: hut these favorable signs
ought not To delude US into apathy or un-
concern. Nothing less than ample ven
ge7nce on the heads CT the nIurderers of
our fellow citizens ought TO satisfy the a.
Weakened spirit OF 1776; and it may be ex-
pected that the pride and arrogance of the
British ministry viii not readily submit tn
this. In their presen: desperate state, all
sense and Judgment may forsake them and
they may resolve to throw the fate Of their
Island on the hazard of die. We should
therefore continue to act as if this would
certainly be the case; and make every
possible preparation for war. The ardor
OF the people IN every quarter seconds these
ideas; Tor We entertain not the smallest
doubt that particularly in Nirginia) the
whole quota Of men required by tue Presi.
cent w'il ne furnished by volunteers. A
military spirit has gone forth, and pervades
