From the Albany Journal. Aaron Burr's Female Correspondeuce.

For the |" vindcation," not the less of the "fame" of Col. Bur's "Literarv Executor.r than of the truth of history, we feel it duty to state facts. within our knowled ge, which but for provocation that will be deemed an "ac quittance,'' we should never publicly revealed.
 Col. Burr not only preserved, but with scru- pulouS care filed the letters he received. His correspondence, especially with the female sex, was extensive. Much of this was evidently with the educated and refned-much of it showing his association with the gifted and the pure ot mind; much more with those whom hls "wiles had undermined and poisoned.,,- These were, however, found in common with letters from an exceptionabe class and of an ofenSlve character All were carefully indors ed, with the places, dates and names of the writers Where letters were signed with the Initials, or were anonymous, the full name ar- peared in Col. BurrS handwriting. With many oi these letters were copies of Col B's replies, We remember most interesting serie es between Col. Burr and West India lady of high cul ture, taste, and purity, who for long time com6atted and resisted the false and fatal teach lnSs ot the tempter, only in the end to exem- phty the experience of those who [" first endure and then embrace error.
 The night before Col. Burr met Gen. Ham, ilton, he wrote letter to his daughter Theodo. sla, (Mrs. Alston) in which he bedueathed his correspondence, contained, as he says. "in six blue boxes," to her, with the request that those which would "injure' the writers should he burned. In his referring to these blue hoxes agaln, as containing his "confdential female correspondence" he says to his daughter: "You will find in them something to amuse. much to instruct and more to forgive.~
 But as Gen. Hamilton, instead of Col. Burr Tell, these blue boxes'' remained in the pos session ot Col. Bur- and came, after his death into the hands of his !" Literary Executor"
 During our long and close intimacy with the late Mathew L. Davis, and particularly when ne was engaged in writing his life of Burr, we enjoyed, eontdentially, the privilege, at his mousse ln Cherry street, of perusing the mater lais out oi which that history woven The
 confidential female correspondence'' was be- lore us with all Its strange and startling reyela- tons. We thought and felt then, as we think and feel now that only devil incarnate-some hend Tn human shape, let loose upon earth in scourge our race--could have deliberately nre. served such evidence of his own perfdy-for many Of these letters were written in bitter an gush, and contained scathng gimprecatiops-and of the fraltv of others.
 instead, therefore, of doing gross wrono,, to Ooi. burr Tn this respect, Mr. Davis, by sun pressing that correspondence, relieved the char acter or Burr from deep and general execration. Like Thomas Moore who suppressed the per sonal memoirs of Lord Byron, Mr. Davis. %. verned by kindred sense of what was due to society, Is entitled to commendation rather than reproach. Nor was the sacrifice an exne,sive one. MT. Davis was tempted by large pecu- mary otfers, to give this correspondence to the public The late NJ. NJ Noah, we remember as among those who offered MT. Davis a hand. some sum for these letters But he always. and With great emphasis. declared that they should never appear, sven to blast Mr. Burr, or wound the feelings of persons whom they compro. missed.
 Some of these packages were returned bv Mr. Davis ill carefully sealed packages, to per- sons remotely connected with the writers person in Virginia, after Col. Bur's death wrote to his Literary Execution asking that if letters, concerning his family should be found among his papers, they might be delivered to distinguished Virginian then in New York. which request was complied with. MT. Davis himself delivered package of letters to the iady by whom they were written: and he re- quested the writer of this article to make A similar restitution of another package. But that too delicate commission was declined.
