Knowing the connexion Of Wilkinson,
considering his irregular movements, and
connecting them with other collateral cir
cumstances, there can be 70 donbt but tha
Burr's principal object is the separation Il
the Western states. 1t is very unlikely th;t
a man of his penetration should put at h.
zard the issue of SO important an undertai-
ing, by attacking the Spanish possessions,
and thereby raising against it a powerful
enemy; at the same time it is very CERTAIN
that Kentucky, the principal Of the western
states, is much divided in opinion. This
has been Just confirmed by the news which
w.ss received the day BEFORE Yesterday, by
which we are informed, that en- attempt WAS
made in the legislature of that state, to call
4 convention, no doubt with a view to pro-
pose in legal manner, the separation Of
that state from the union. The molten was
carried in the Senate, but was rejected in
the House of Representatives. Excepting
then partial opposition in tn. state of Ken
lucky, 1t is very natural that Burr, who
knew befo, ehand the state of the public
mind, should have taken measures to OBJ
tain at the point of the bavonet, that which
he did not natter himself to obtain BY the
mere force of persuasion, and it is indubit-
able, that with force of two or three
thousand men well armed, he may carry
his plan into execution.
6 In order to, put congress more com
pletely under the iinpossibility of taking
coercive measures, Wilkinson, who I'M
doubtedly acts IN concert with Burr, has,
under the pretence of danger on the frontier
of Terras, endc;lvored to draw all the dis
posable force of the United States to that
distant point; and in order that orders
should not be given to weaken his little ar
my, he is clearly inventing incidents to keep
it together. We were informed some time
ago, that he had dismissed all the militia
which had been sent to him from the Alissis-
sippi territory, from New Orleans, Atacu-
pas, and Opelousa, in consequence OF a
convention he had made with the Spanish
commandant, that the latter. should with
draw to the westward of the Sabine, and
thatsthe American troops should withdraw
In the same manner to Nachitoches, and
that the territory in controversy should be
completely evacuated by both parties until
its fate should be decided by negotiation.
By the last news from that country, we are.
that gen. Wilkinson, well known
by the number 10, instead Of acting as BY.
the said convention it was to have been ex-
pected, and affecting great zeal for the in
terests of the United States, was going 70
advance with his little army, ais far &c The
river Sabine, on the eastern bank of which
he intendedto erect fort. This movement
must havet produced fresh embarrass-s
ments at least in appearance. The Spanish
commandant, it was said, was going to or
pose hiInseltto Wilkinson resolution, and
