The notorious Mr.. John Binns has published
Communication from the notorious Mr.. Andrew

OF Gen. Jackson '' relative to the conspiracy of
Burr" The one of these notes. (under date Of
Sept. 18th, 1869 expresses desire TO his cores

Burr, then at the Hermitage. The other note,
without date, talks of $1,000 to 90 laid out five
boats 10 be built and pork 10 be supplied (au,iing
at the same time to 'the store, supposed TO be the
one i'll which Gen. j. was concerned,) but without
naming Burr or connecting these articles with him
or any other person. We know not whether these
notes be genuine, or forged like Harris's letter
but their source is so abundantiy suspicious, that
even the Administration prints have, as vet pru-

nne In the year 1906 TO the best OF my recolec-
uon) Aaron Burr was engaged in an expedition or
enterprise down the Mississippi, and which he said
he was au'horiZed to do by government: and for
the purpOSe of procuring provisions and boat for
MS COM enpIaicd plans, he the said Burr did for
wdIi sum OF between three and four thousand
dollars IN Kentucky bank notes, to Gen Jackson
with request that he would procure for him by
purchase, the amount in boats and provisions At

came on TO Tennessee, on his way down the river
ne stopped at the Clover Bottom, near which place
lay some Of !he boats that bad contracted for his
use, and where he fitted himself out for his vow
age down the river. the report OF his acting in on

had not use Tor all the boats, that bad been made

OF the boats, the number 40 recoect, was left
by Burr; and afterwards ny virtue oil his order in
favour OF Pattan Anderson, the boats or the nro.

Anderson. When MIR. Burr was at the Clover
Bottom, Gen Jackson and myself made settle
