OF CHIEF JUSTICE MARSHALL,
Delivered the 2OM October, SOY, on a
motion to commit Burr, BIennerhasset.
and Israel Smith, to Kentucky, to be
tried Jor treason and misdemeanor.
Much of the difficulty of the present
case arises from its being attended by
circumstances entirely opposite to those
which are usually found in motions of a
similar description.
An examining magistrate commits
and ought to commit on probable cause,
In defining his duty, after stating thar
he may arrest either upon his ewn sus.,

be paid or purchased within the limits
OF the law and of our contracts, and have
LETT us In the treasury eight millions and
an halt OF dollars. A portion of this sum
may be considered as commencement
OF accumulation of the surplusses of re-
venue, which, after paying the install
ments OF debt as they shall become pay
able, will remain without any specihck
OBJECT. 1t may partly, indeed, be appli-
ed towards completing the defence Of
the exposed points of our country, On
such scale as shall be adapted to
our principles and circumstances.-
lhls object is doubtless among the first
entitled to attention, in such state of
our finances and it is one which, whe-
Their we have peace or war, will provide
security where it is due. Whether what
shall remain of this, with the future sur
plusses, may be usefully applied to pur.
poses already authorized, or more use
fully to others requiring new authori-
ties, or how otherwise they shall be dis
posed OF, are questions calling for the
| notice OF congress unless indeed thew
shall be superseded by change in our
public relations now awaiting abe deter
mlnation of others. Whatever be that
determination, it is a great consolation
that 1t will become known at the mo-
ment when the supreme council of the
nation is assembled at its post, and ready
to give the aids of its wisdom and ati-
thority to what course the good of our
country shall then call us to pursue.
Matters of minor importance will be
the subject of future communications
and nothing shall be wanting on my part,
which may give information or dispatch
to the proceedings of the legislature, in
the exercise of their high duties, and at
a moment SO interesting to the public
welfare.

VIII pest promote their own well-being.
Interpretations of the last session,
for the defence of our seaport towns and
harbours, were made under expectations
That continuance of our peace would
permit US to proceed in that work ac-
cording to our convenience. 1t has
been thought better to apply the sums
then given, towards the defence of New
York, Charleston, and New-Orleans,
CHIEFLY, as most open and most likely
hrst to need protection, and to leave
places less Immediately in danger to the
provisions OF the present session.
ihe gun-boats too, already provided,
have on like principle been chiefly as
signed to New York, New-Orleans and
the Chesapeake. Whether our movable
iorce ON the water, SO material in aid of
the defensive works on the land, should
be augmented in this or any other form,
rs left to the wisdom Of the legislature.
For the purpose of manning these YES
sells, IN sudden attacks on our harbours,
1t IS matter fox consideration whether
the seamcn OF the United States may
nor justly be formed into special mill
tia, 20 be called On for tours of duty in
defence Of the harbours where they shall
happen to be; the ordinary militia of
the place furnishing that portion which
may consist OF ]andsmen.

a greater provision OF those articles OF
military stores, with which our maya
zines were not sufficiently furnished: to

sanction by law, would have lost occa-
slons which might not be retrieved. |
did not hesitate, there fore, to authorise
engagements for such supplements to
our existing stock, as would render it a.
dequate to the emergencies threatening
us; and L trust that the legislature, feel
ing the same anxiety for the safety Of
our country, so materially advanced bv
this precaution, will approve when4donc,
what they would have seen so important
to be done if then assembled. Expenses,
also unprovided for, arose cut Of the
necessity Of calling all our gun-boats
into actual service, for the defence of
our harbours, of all which accounts will
be laid before you.

preparation by Aaron Burr and his asso-
crates /; OF the measures taken to defeat

duty to lay before you the proceedings
and the evidence publicly exhibited on
the arrangement of the principal offen-
ders before the district court Of Virgil

Their the defect was in the testimony, in
the law, or in the administration of the
law; and wherever it shall be found, the
legislature alone can apply or originate
the remedy. The trainers of our con-
stitution certainly supposed they had
guarded as well their government against
destruction by treason, as their. citizens
against oppression under pretence of it
and If these ends are not attained, it is
OF importance to inquire by what means
more efectually they may be secured.

the receipts have amounted TO near six

mands and interest incurred, to pay more
than four millions of the principal of our

Advices of comfortable importance were re-
ceived from the Continent, the latter part of
the prefent week. The French army, il is now
diain6tly admitted, has retired from the coun-
tiles which it has for fome time occupied, and
the Ruflians have Immediately occupied it's
place. The head quarters of Bonapar;e are
10 be Immediately removed TO Berlin, as foon
as the winter quarters of the grand army have
been completely eftabliihed. IF the head quar-
tiers are not to be transferred till that period
it is probable the removal may not be made for
fome time. The Ruilians do not feem # all
ditpofed to allow them to enjoy the tranquility
of which thsy are 70 dehrous, and thew are
now lcfs likely than ever to remain inactive, az
Gen. Remington is faid TO have received rein
forcements to the amount of 5000 men.
Two more French Bulletins have been received
containing only an account of fome flight hir-
miihes, in which themfelves, as ufua, are de-
clared to have been victorious.
The new Miniaerial arrangements are now
nearly completed, and lit has been pub!i!hed
of the perfors appointed TO the principal Gtna-
fions. Sofudden and complete a change has
teldom occurred in the annals of court intrigue,
aud there is httle doubt bur the intelligence
will be received throughout the country with
fen,imeut of deep and general regret. We
fill think it improbable that the Ne.v Cabinet
fhould be able TO obtain the confidence of the
Houie, III fufhcient degree TO enable them
to conduct the necefIary bu.inefs of the Ssf
