produce evidence Of any one Of the follow
ing circumstances; yet declare you upon
my honour, that am NEST firmly persuaded
OF the truth of them.
''t'he associates of Burr are from different
parts OF the Union, many Of them zrsultlry and
enterprasing men, and his friends are inca!cu-
liable. GeHerals Dayton and JACKSON, Of
tennessee, and one other person not named
10 me, are said to be his chief officers; and
Daniel Clark, of New Orleans, a Mr.. Blau-
nerhasset of Ohio, and Mr.. Aston, his SON
in-law, all men Of wealth, are among his ban
kers. The States Of Kentucky and Tennes-
see are entirely devoted TO Colonel Burr, and
from these States he will acquire colrsidera-
bile bodies of troops TO bc beaded by Gen.
JACkSoN, of the latter, who no doubt be-
fore this, has marched with body Of militia

Gen Williams against toe Sbaniards on the
