AARON BURR.-lNTERE. TiNd Revelation
Mr.. Treat, Of the ST.. Lonis union, writes fIom
Havana that he has been endeavoring 10 obtain
The permission OF the Cuba Government to in
specl the archives OF Louisiana, ~hi.t
moved 10 that Island, and sliil lemainrIsII mater will
throw light upon H. Bur- conspiracy" as i,
has been termed. Mr.. Treat writes:
III, lis probable thai Spain would suffer no one
except SpaniaId, 10 explore her archives as the
existing authorities know no. Wha! strange dis
coveries might be made. A year or two ago,
the Legislature OF Louisiana made an appro-
praion 10 procure copies OF certain documents
connected with the history Of that State, and an
agent was sent 10 Madrid. Al first he was de-
MED access 10 the archives, but avaling himself
Of change in The ministry, he finally succeeded
in oblaiGlng the necessary order. The minister
who refused, was aware hat his father, while
Envoy to the United States, al the dale OF the
Burr conspiracy, seriously compromised his
character AMI TIA OF his government, and il was
feared the records in question might contain The
damning proofs. His rival and successor had no
desire for any concealmeni OF the kind; and sup
posing that revelation OF The family secrets Of
his competitor would prove hat the latler had no
hereditary claim on Spanish gratitude, aims
sion 10 the archives al Madrid, was obtained BY
The Louisiana agent. ] have learned by an
American gentleman, who has just arrived here
from Madrid, that the search has resulted in Ire
discovery oil many important matters, throwing
light on the Burr conspiracy, and The conduct
OF General Wilkinson. In due time, II is pre-
sumed, the public will have possession Of these
interesting tacls. Al this place no American
can gain admission 10 the archives except by
bribery"
