recollected that p. Taylor was in Gaest of

that he would tin4 Blenncrhasset before he

VIII yet state my impressions respecting
1t. Burr probably knew that Blennerhas-
sett was an entire stranger TO MIR. Smith
he therefore thought it improoable, that
Mr.. Smith would write TO him Burr could
also discover by feeling the lester, that s
contained an enclosure, and IS he had our
recently abused MIR. SIS. friendship and
hospitality; and knew OF the unfavoratle
impressions on the public mind against G.
very one, who had coniided in him in any
way whatever; it is but natural 20 conci1de,
he coniectured that Mr.. Smith had availed
himself OF the opportunity By Taylor of
writing to him upon that SUBJECT. But why
are explanations of this circumstance called
Tor ! Why indulge suspicious respecting an
object, when the object Of such suspicious is
itself before us? Why infer AN improper
connection, when the evidence of the real
connection, or the object of the correspon-
dence Itself is before US This will be found
in the Identical letter written by Mr. Smith
to Burr, and delivered by P Taylor. Lee
US discard differences, and attend 10 the con-
tents OF the letter, and see if there is any

Died, at an advanced age. on Tuesday

oner of Loans, and late Governor of this
Commonwealth. He was one Of our earli-
est Revolutionary patriots, and for several
years representative in Congress from
this state. The principles of liberty,
which actuated him in 70, remained firm
and mistaken to the last. He was a truly
pious man. His memory will be revered
to the latest posterity.
On visit to his family from the service
OF the United States, sorely afflicted, with
long, painful and lingering disease which
he bore with manly, and more than common
fortitude, and after receiving the caresses,
and enjoying for few weeks, the soothing
conversation of his family and friends, de.
harted this life, on Saturday the first dav
OF October, in the thirty fifth year of his
age, Capt. LEROY HIPKINS, one of the
officers belonging TO the navy of the United
States In him wife has lost an affection
