FROMTHE AURORA.

The Philadelphia Gazette has mott
ced the article whica we published
concerning general Wilkinson's gecen5
visit to this city and in the usual wa,
that folly labors 10 effect it's purpose.
Reir's correspondent, whom We MAXI
40 doubt l. ia the Burr secret, invents
an IMPRESSION for the Aurora, which
the A Irora did not use. We said that
6 n raj Wilkinson came here in search
u evidence, aad that the gentle man
he came after, some h Nv lett town the
same morning that he arrived. 4 IL
y zette, assumes that We have sue-
gested, or that it was the fact, that thg
persons 10 pursuit of whom he came
1Ither, were his own friends, or evi-
dence 10 be brought forth in his own
favor. But what win the puclic say to
this---whar subterfuge will Riffs cor
correspondents resort TO when the truth
Is tolu And this is the troth---as /, is
corroborated by Andrew Ellicut's let
er published.
Several persons were namel as G..
violence to prove criminality against
Wilkinson tn. Sc persons we sum.
mOncd against Wilkinson, they fused

to summon evidence on courts OF en-
quiry 1.-The law failed, and the witness
,es, who it they had any knowledge of
criminality must be traitors to conceal
it, refused to attend Andrew Eli
colt was one of these we are fully
possessed of Andrew Ellicott on this
subject we know his hand writing /;
aud of his sentiments we know enough
to say, that whenever he is called be-
fore any court to speak of general
Wilkin 5on, that he must speak either
his own iatamy or general Wilkinson's
innocence there is no alternative but
his.
Eilicott is one who was citednot to &C
qui, but 20 inculpAte general Wilkin-
sou friend OF the earl of Clare /! I!

some months ago, but he could get no.
thing, but food for such articles as APP
pear appropriately in the Philadelphia
= zette, un4er the initials of Aaron
Burr.
The correspondent Of Relf, under
me initials OF Aaron Burr, says, that
this pursuit of the Burrite evidence
has been g lruiiless" 1.-The time is at
hand when IL will be found to be fruit
tul when il will be seen that Daniel
Clark, who it is said calls himself the
heir TO the earldom of Clare, was We
~ solicitous to seduce men Of virtue to
.ngIge in schemes to obtain Mexican
tJkedoms.
The time is at hand when il will b.
seen, that the same clue finder VIII

Liston, has been as active in the cen.

On THE TIMEs-In the years 1897, 90.
and 99, France was in possession Of pow

tration fear her efforts, that we engaged il
open hostility with her-our citizens scarce
iy knew we were at war except from the
intelligence Of the capture Of French frig-
ates, and French fifty gun ships It is Ia
mentaSle to observe how changed the times
are. New masters, in sad truth have Civ
en- new laws. Our Commerce then fiour-
ished, our Revenue increased, Our Farmers
produce brought higher price than Al any
former period. Our Navy and Commerce
mutually assisted each other and Aourished.

EMBARGO.

Immediately on the meeting Of the
house
Mr.. Chittenden said he rose with eonsi.
derable difhdence to offer to the house a
resolution on the subject of the embargo.
Having witnessed the feelings heretofore
excited by similar proposition at the last
session, he said he would assure the gen..
tlemen that he had no object IN view but to
bring the subject before the house, and ex-
cite fair and liberal discussion. He had
hoped that the situation Of our affairs would
ere this, have authorised the removal Of the
embargo. Disappointed in this, he felt il
duty which he owed 20 his constituents s.
to the nation, to endeavor to elicit an ex-
preston of the opinion of the house, to pre-
vent ruinous speculations, and 70 relieve the
nation from suspense. The measure had
now been in operation 10 or / months, and
he bad not perceived the good effects re-.
sulting from il. The importance Of this
subject, It's interesting nature 10 his consti-
tuents, who IN addition to the common suf-
ferlDgs, had the extreme modification of
beng represented as in state of insurrec-
ton, must be an apology for his coming for
ward at this early period on the subject Of
the embargo. He then offered the follow.
ing resolution:
"ResofUed, That the act passed At the
las, session Of congress, entitled " An act
laying an embargo on all ships and vessels
IN the ports and harbors OF the United States,
and the several acts supplementary and
additional thereto" ought to be Immediate
Iy repealed"
