we have at length obtained circumstantial
narrative, on the part of General Wilkinson. of
so much as concerns the imputations and surmj.

have been supported by MI. John Randolph and
others 1t is drawn up with the temper Of i.
man, tranquilized by the consciousness of per
secution and of innocence it is manly, tempe

Hent and places the n,ds and his conduct on
such stattcn, as will assure him the applause
md commisserauon OF every man of integrity
and honor and without any ate mpt in the mar
rative to recriminate on his vile prosecutors, he
places them in such light Of shame, as no time
nor artthce can remove 1t is accompanied by
an appendix, containing voiuminous evidence
copies Oh official documents, letters from nu
merous persons, in relation to Burr's conspi-
racy, and particularly all those letters, which
the general required o. Burr to produce in omen
court of Richmond, but to which Burr would
not assent; but which the demands of defence
now imperiously draws forth. These pspers
make volume, and we understand form only
the second volume OF the series yph;ch as a reward
or saving his country Ire rs obliged print at an
enormous expence, out of his ample pay of bri-
gadier general.
The whole is to consist of four volumes, as
we inter from another still more yomminous
appendix to vol w. which embraces about
200 pages, and from its contents, appears to
be the history Of the campaign at Terye au
B4uf. The narrative part of this volume, nor
what is contained in the first and third, we have
not seen nor learned but presume the FIRST
will consist of general historical memoir
Of the public life of the general, and perhaps
the third volume may contain the narrative in
reply to the imputations on the Spanish bust
ness.
The Burr conspiracy being the only part per-
fectly before us, we should wish to enter into a
Development of the subject, for the inform
Of the country, Immediately; but we spprehend
it would not be acceptable to the victim, of vii
fainy, himself, to interfere with a particular
discussion. while committee of Congress
think it fit to keep the subject before them.
We do not wish to he the means OF eniistine
the angry resentment OF men who may al least
question The propriety of the course which
they have been led into against this injured man:
because very probably, the esgerness which we
confess we feel, to present the whole proceed
rg 70 the public, might be attributed to his 80
lictatioa, or as the term is--kis inGnence-thaa
to the feelings ofindignation and shame which
the whole transactions are calculated to excite
aud will excite whenever they shall come, as
they fhak came before the nation.
When the public shall have seen these papers,
when they shall have pointed out to them the
simple elements of these transactions--we cannot
hesitate to assert, that unbeatable berse-
cution, or apersecution founded on circumstan-
ces so unwarrsntabie as matters of accusation. on
an officer of such high trust, were never befoYe
exhibited.-Apyord.
