Particulars Of Aaron Burr's Treason.

A correspondents of the New York
Times furnishes the following points
connected with the history of Burr's
great guilt:
Before Blennerhassct came 10 Amer
lea, and while Burr was yet young
lawyer in Now York, therintriguing, 2,
ambitious and rather brilliant man ap-
peared on the Stage OF Western politics.
Tn is man was James Wilkinson, who
commanded the American army on the
ST. Lawrence in 1873 and who, at the
time speak of, was an officer of the
army, holding important posts. In 1887
this man went first to New Orleans,
whore he established commercial
house, and then returned 10 kentucky.
Louisiana wos then aprovince of Spain.
The Spanish authorities formed the idea
of separating the Western country from
the Union, and making a Spanish em-
pire in the valley OF tho Mississippi
For this purpose they interested Wilkin-
son, Judge Sebastian and many other
leading men in that enterprise. The
more patriotic part of the community
utterly rejected the plan; but there is
no doubt that many Of the leading char.
acters of kentucky were implicated in
the Spanish Association which was
then formed. Judge Sebastian was
tried, and found guilty of receiving
so, 900 per annum from the Spanish
Government.
Wilkinson was also tried, but acquit-
tod for want of direct evidence. /,
was proved, however that he CORES.
ponded in cipher with the Spaniards,
and was amply supplied with Spanish
gold. Passing by nearly twenty years,
we find Wilkinson, with that faulty
which at that time marked the military
appointments Of tho Government, in
command Of tho army, invading Canada
on the 50. Laurence. He had become
dissipatcd and lost his energy. He was
drunk in the cabin of tho boat when
tho gallant Scott, commanding The ad-
vance, was already in the precincts of
Montreal, which he could have easily
taken. Just then Wilkinson ordered u
retreat, and the fruits of the campaign
were lost. Armstrong was then Secre-
tary of War, and the disgrace OF the ar
my was reflected npon him. Half a
dozen years after the New York Re-
v,er was published, and in il, Armstrong,
who held most caustic pen, reviewed
the life and conduct of Gen. James Viii
kinson. Taking up the Spanish affair

themselves with the satisfaction OF a

own hands thoir humble acres; rearing
a few cattle, and occasionally manufac-

been several remarkable instances oi

vineyard of Johannisberg, which, some
fifty years since, having been richly
