S LOUISVILLE, December 5. \n tuf. House of Representatives. The committee appointed on the memo rial of General John Cia:k, to enquire into the official conduct of the honorable Charles I ait, judge of the fiipcrior courts cf the wcßern circuit of this state. Rep>rt—That they have in the profecu timrof ihtir enquiry examined twenty eight vrirnefi'es, whole names were furnifijed by General Clark, to fubftan'iate the fcvcral charges contained in his memorial. Your committee in difeharging the duties aiTigned them, have, from the peculiarity of their ii mat ion and from a desire that a fall and fair inrcSigation might he had, giverh a latitude in the admillton of testi mony not warranted bv the rules ofevidence, or found rcafjn.~ From a thorough con- of this testimony, so received, it appears to your committee that a warrant tor ncgro-ftealing was iflued in the town cf Saiifbiry, in the date of Norlh-Carolina, bearing date the J-th November, 1805, a gainst one Robert Clary, which warrant w»s placed in the hands of one Josiah Glass, to whom it was, in the body thereof, specially direfted ; anj which warrant was presented by the f.iid G!afs to judge Tait in the town of Sparta, on the 24th ol fceb rnary lull, with a request that he would back the fame, which tlic judge without hesitation did—that the said warrant was afterwards presented by Glass to Edward 1 Bryan, efq. a jufticc of the peace of the county of Walhington, who also backed the fam;--thart Ruber t Clary was taken up. on the laid warrant and carried to Greene fiipcrior court by Glass, to which court Glass was hitafelf recognized to appear to anfwcr to an indiftment for an assault. That the firft day of the said court Glass, by letter, requested the judge to attend and take the,examination of a man then in his custody, who would make confellions high ly interfiling to the state, and the United States.--That on the night of the fame day the j 4?, accompanied by Oliver Skinner, efq. attmded to take the examination, which tfas however not completed that night; Hut the judge, accompanied by the said Oii rtt Skinner, completed the fame the ne<t evening, and gave Glass a certified copy thereof to take to Nonh-Caroliua, whither Slafs was going to take Clary, as a vvitncf! agiinft the notorious Coihus. That the whole of the evidence ta ken, it doth not appear to your committee, that judge Tait had any connexion with either Glass or Clary, or knew what Con fsflion Clary would make. That the conduct of the judge through ' the wholjt transition appears to be fair and upright, and to have-been done from a fcr.fe of duty. Your committee are decidedly of opinion that no improper or corrupt motives can with juftire or truth be imputed to the judge on that occasion ; and that if the reputation of the memoriahft has been injured by the confeffiun, fnch injury cannot with propric. ty or truth be attributed to the judge. Your committee therefore, forbearing fur. thcr comment, beg leave to recommend the adoption of the following refoluticrs : Rtfolvcd, That the leveral charges ex hibited again ft the honorable Cbailes Tait, in the memorial of General John Claik, are unfounded in fait, an J unsupported by evi dcncc* Refolvcd, That the official conduit of the honorable Charles Tait entitles him to the confidence of this bode, and of his fel low citizens.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT, On the jth inftanr, a motion was made by J. H. Davies, Efij, diftrift attorney of the United States in the federal court of Kentucky, charging Aaron Burr Esq. with HIGH CRIMES and misdemeanors, in bc ing engaged in preuartng a military expedi tion for the purpoTe of defending the Ohio and Milßflippi, and making an attack on the Provinces of Mexico, on the weftwardly fide of Louitiana, which said provinces be long to the king o| Spain, with whom the United States are at peace* Mr. Davies dated, that ha could also prove, that the weftern territories were the next ohjeft of the scheme ; and, finally, all the region of the Ohio is calculated as falling into the vortex of the new prapofed revolu tion. Wherefore said attorney prayed the court, that due process iflfuc to compel the personal appearance of the said Aaron Burr, before said court; and to Hay further preparation and proceedings in said armament. Judge Inncs overruled the motion of the attorney of the U. States—on the grounds, that the court were not inverted with the '"Jnwer ; and if they were, that the evidence was not fufficicnt. The attorney then moved for a warrant to summon a grand jury, before whom he would prefer an indiftrurnt agalud col. Burr. This the court immediately granted. After -the jury were called, col. Burr entered, at tended by his cownfcUH. Clay fifq. and ad dre fifed the court in vindication of the char ges preferred againlt him. After which the further hearing of the canfe was polfponed to the 13th November, when this important trial will be decided.
