LIE DIABLE ESPAGNOL.
9rEo, perfon disgraced by the fruftration
OF his intrigues-by the frutration of his efforts
to corrupt fome prefIes, and who fucceeds i'm
diisracing others, by the mott vulgar and fcan-
dalous publications, againft the government, &
aganft the exec utive, and aganft the Legislature
generally, and its mott Respectable members !;
this miferable reproach on the Spaniffl reputati-
on, and on the diplomatic character, attempts
to conceal bis concern with Bmr-feeing it mutt
now be evident that Burr has either completely
duped him, or that 1r7yo mutt have been a part
ner and a participation in all Burr's treafons.
BURR's project embraced Mexico but it ALTO
embraced the feveration of Louinana and the
Florldas from the United States take the on
duct of 1rnyo then in whatever point of view,
ne comes forth with an i'll grace to talk of the
liberty of the bre6 he whole conduct is fatire
on his country, his mission, the diplomatic cha
raider, and even on the ordinary laws of decency
and good breeding.
e" The GARD Jade WinceS'-and we'll may the
jade vince 1t has been well faid by MIR. !.
Clay. that the hlence of Yrujo, concerning
burr's preparations, is Negative pregnant evil
dence of his being eonJpirafor the Gevelope-
ment OF the Carnndolef confpiracy, fhews that
Spain has been faithlefs and perhdious to the
U. States 1rnio was minifter here at that time
ieeking to obtain numbers of the emigrants
from Europe to 60 to the weftward, and I'M
doubtedly for the treafon now developed, and
tor the concern in which Sebafian received even
after IT'S failure 1000 dollars year
1ryo did advance money to Burr in this
city, at the houfe of Mr.. Richardet-for qvbat
Pwpoje?
But fays Yrujo we have concealed our con-
ipIracy 10 well, we have kept our hand writing
10 completely out of view; Boiiman and Du-
nuorier's paymafter have acted between us with
10 much addrefs, that unlefs they fhou!d stag
us, we cannot politely be detected and fnce
you cannot bring forward common laec evidence
you mutt reject common senE.
You mutt not believe me to be traitor to my
mGffr the king of Spaiu-becaufe embark in
icheme OF treafon againf your country; you
mutt confider me perfect honorable character
in aiding an attempt to Ieper and plumber ".
Orleans which you bought, hut you mutt fill
think me to be an bonef man, if all the time ]
may be fuppofsd ignorant or duped by Burr as
to his dehgns on Mexico.
Such is the courfe of reafoning this miferabie
d;piOmatN reforts to. There is no choice be-
tween believing his being partner in all or in
part OF Burr's fchemes; if in all, it is treafon
againft his own nation well as againft this if
againit Mexico only, fill it is treafon againtt
Spain but from the filence of Yruio concern
ing the expedition, it is evident, that he conf
dered at leaft the firft attacks to be meditated
againft the government of the United States
That he ought to be .@ipt off or put into
clofe cuftody to anfwer for his offences, is now
the unanimous opinion of every man in the uni
on who is not a traitor.
We propofe TO the citizens, that on the day
of his departure, jack ayJ Of the SpaniB breed
be Pre1,iaea, and suitable figure of SAScHo
PANcHA be pubheLy paraded through the ftreets,
and treated with that derifon, which the laws
of nations forbids to be betowed on the perfon
who may have been invefted with the repre-
fentation OF q nation and that this be held as
expref1ive of the public contempt for the man
the jack afs fhould be fat, and the effigy
dreffed in a tunic with profuhon of fribbefy
and feathered CbapeAa Bras. Awora
1t is due to commodore Trnxfon to fay that
he fpurned the overtures of Burr, and made
communication to the executive on the fubiect.
1t was to him we alluded feveral weeks ago,
when we gave view of the conipiracy, and fla,
ted that overtures were made to a perfon more
diftinguiihed than Gen. Eaton.
We are proud to find general Wilkinfon's
conduct has been fuch as to entitle him to high
credit. 1t is obvious, however, that the judici.
Gus policy which he purified to detect the con
tpirators, was calculated, under all circunftan-
ces, to excite fufpicon.
Gen. Eaton lie reported to have Gated in this
city few days ago, that when Burr tempted
him with the fecond place in command, Eaton
afked who was TO be the firft and Burr repli-
ed Wilkinfon. That Burr made fome enqui-
ries as to the marine corps which gen. Eaton
praifed for their difcipline, that Burr calculated
on obtaining that corps, and faid--" then fir
