Apadoca, having made representations to The Bri-
fish minister for foreign AFFAIRS, That several per-
sons were in London who had in hand an enter
prize against the Spanish colonies in South "a
| merica, Miranda and Burr were particularly ma
| med: the former however contrived to obtain a
passage ON a vessel bound for St. Chrstopher's,
| for which place it is said he departed Aaron
Burr who was also summoned to appear, did
not make his escape, but presented himself ac-
cording to the Summons and was notified that
he depart from England; he d;sclaimed all COR
nexion ofparaicipation with any design against
! the Spanish colonies, and claimed as British
subject, under magma chartd, to remain unmo-
Tested in the county, to which he owed and u
( vowed allegiance!
| Upon its being urged that he was an Ameri-
can citizen, and that he had held station there,
which put his character of an American bcyontl
question he disclaimed the character of am A :
merican citizen, and asserted that he was entitled
| TO protection by his birth under tDe Britis!
government, long before the Independence oc A
! merica and that although the British govern
, ment might connive at it, he maintained that the
principles of British law and policy never admit
ted of expatriation and could not refuse to re-
cognize the right of any subject born within the
realm or its colonies.
He wasnevertheess advised thac he must de-
part the realm.
He thereupon signifed that it was out Of his
power, that he was destitute of the funds reoui-
site to defray the expences of his removal, or to
discharge the obligations which he had already
incurred
Whether tI,e funds were advanced or not
we have not learnt-but he was accompanied to
one OF the. ports on the North sea, and shipt for
the continent.
We heard several weeks ago that he had ia
ken his passage the island of St. Christophers
| and was destined for Trinidad.
There were some Others of the choice sbirits
taken in company with n. Burr, and accompani-
ed him on his trip across the North sea- IN
happy outcasts, whom no country owns, alike
disclaimed, and disclamed by all from whose
acts, the want of honorable motives, withdraws
not alone indulgence, but excites horror and
whose misfortunes forbid all sympathy nc; .>~en

Orleans, informs us, that the French Consul
at that place had applied to the Governor for the

Forty thousand Dollars in specie, were lately

KING BY this gentleman we are informed, that
ABOUT 45 or 80 years ago, man named Chiseil
discovered, and commenced the working of the
Lead Mines, on new river In Crayson county
That as usual, some silver was found among the
ore, and that Chisell had obtained permit from
the British King to coin as much money from
tine to time, as would pay off his workRen-
True to the adage, he took the ell for the inch,
and probably the discoveryof Perkins is the fruits
OF ChiselPs industry, which premature death
uoui play cannot prosper) prevented him from
enjoying In this county, our informant adds,
at the place now occupied by capt. Robe TT Hun.
ter, ON the main Richmond road, Chisell quar-.

very respectable gentleman of this city, sent
us yesterday sample of SALT, with the follow
ing account oft -" The sample of Salt now
sent you was made in April last, near Whining
ton. in North Carolina, where several persons
have undertaken to make it in large quantities,
ON the same plan and with the same process -
The crystals of the Salt are small and not very
equal, which is owing to the weakness of the
suns heat in the spring-but that which will be
made in June, July and August, will be of a lar
ger gram. Reckoning as near as possible the
eXpences on such undertakings, they find that
ten feet square of salt water, will yield BUSH
ell OF Salt, and that, on average, it will Gene
to about 50 cents per bushel--but these expences
will decrease as the works progress"
The above mentioned sample may be seen at
