GENERAL WILKINSON.

The objects of this officers intended Jour
nal to Washington, have been variously sta
ted i'll the public prints. 1t has been said.
in some that he was directed to repair to
the seat of government, for the purpose of
undergoing another investigation of the
Burr conshiracy.-In others, that he was
arrested for dsobedience of orders issued
from the War Department; and that he
had been suspended from the command of
the army, &c. &c. We are very credibly
informed, that all these mors, so preju-
dicial to the reputation of General Wilkin-
son, are entirely without foundation, and
that the objects which the government have,
in view. in Withdrawing him from the main
body OF the army, and requiring his pre-
sence forthwith at the Federal City, are OF
a nature wholly foreign to any thing con
nectcd either with the alledged official mis- b.
conduct OF Gen. w. or with any investiea
ton of his character. or bis supposed con
nection with Aaron Bnrr. The causes which
have led to this recent change of the position.
of the commander in chief, we learn are as
follow. 1t had been discovered for some
time past, that great inconvenience and de-
triment to the public service, arose from
the remote situation of the "head quarters
OF the army, in dispatching orders from
whence to the different sections of the Union
where military forces were stationed, con-
oiuSiaoie ueldy anu attendant uIIHCultleS,
unavoidably resulted and the arrangements
of the War Office were likewise embarrass-
ed, owing to the want of CELEBRITY in its com .
munication with the General Staff of the ar.
my.
1t has been deemed best, therefore, to re-
move the Commander in Chief to a more
central position, which will be fixed upon az
his permanent head quarters, 81 from whence
will issue the various commands To subordi-
nate officers. A spot in the ncighborhood of
Washington, has been selected for the pur-
pose, and will be occupied III the way We
have mentioned, SO soon as the necessary ar
rangements are made. Gene al Wilkinson
has not been arrested neither has he been
removed or suspended from the COMMAND of
the army. This is the information of which
we have become possessed aud which. from
the great respectability of our inform snt, wa
should suppose entitled to implicit BELIEF,
