[l] deposition of capt. j a. walbace. I hud the honor to become acquainted with general James Wilkinson some time in Au gust. 1799 ; became attached to his military family in December, 1800—was appointed aft aid-de-camp in the spring following, and conti nued in that capacity until the last oi Novem. ber, 1801. During the above period, I have witnessed that general Wilkinson did employ cyphers of different kinds in his correspondence, among them was an English pocket dictionary. Se veral of these cyphers I have made myself, de signed copies of some of them are still in my possession, and others I have recognized since my arrival at the city of Richmond. Particu larly one to the late general James Jackson, and another to the lute major general Alexan der Hamilton, a third to a Mr. Hidings, then at New-Orleans, a fourth to colonel Cushing, a tilth to Mr. .Silas Dinsmore, and one to myself. Several of these were projected in 1802 and IHOo, at the time the port of New-Orleans was shut, atul lor the purpose ot procuring and con- Veving tntelli ;eme to the government. Question—l)ul you ever observe in general W tlkitison any act, or disposition, which mark ed in.itte ‘.ion to his duty, as to the zealous and fe’.;ht- 1 discharge ol the trust reposed in him as an officer of .he United Stat-s ? \ -wo* l*i om my own observation and ex* K"ic, ce. (Frit g now nearly twentf-six years . i mihiaiy life) I can deviate that I have never known an officer more zealously devoted to the sericein which he was engaged, and lean safely declare, that 1 have never seen an officer of general .Wilkinson's rank, voluntarily and cheerfully expose himself to such privations,’ hardships and sufferings in the course of his duty, as 1 have seen him meet with alacrity. Question —Do you know the handwriting of captain C. Smith J Answer*—l do. Question —Are these hieroglyphics of his ) writing ? J Answer—They are. Question —Are ‘hey the same which were employed by colonel Burr in his correspon ds <:e with general Wilkinson ? ; Answer—They are the same which are em ployed in colonel Burt's letters, shewn me since n j 1 arrival at the city of Richmond, and said to he delivered by Messrs. Swartwout and Boll man to general Wilkinson. Qucs ion—Do you recollect when capt C. j Smith left general Wilkinson’s family ? j An wer—Some lime in July, 1801 Question—Do you think general Wilkinson” afm winds saw or was near him l . j Answer—l om certain not ; because general ; W il-kitwon did nor ictnri. from the Mississippi, until May, 1804, and captain Smith resided in the slate of Maryland, and died in the winter of 1803 or. 804 (> Questtoii— Have you seen general Wilkin son employ the p< i ket dictionary, now present ed to von. iii writing cypher ? Answer—l have. Queston —Will you say in what year f Answer—l am not positive as to the year,’ hut it was during the period I was attached to i his uilttarv family. Question —Did you hear a sentiment from i genera! Wilkinson calculated todisaffect the troops or to abate tln ir zeal for its promotion ? J Answer—No; on the contrary, I have wit- S nesse 1 that general Wilkinson always used his \ utmost endeavors to promote harmony, comfort and g ‘od order among the troops, and by his precepts as well as example, to insure subordi- • nation and patriotism j J. B. W'alback. Capt. Artillery, j I am content that rhe above shall be read as j evidence in all cases between the United States and colonel Burr—and that any thing which may be added by the affiant, by way of answer to interrogatories, may be also read. Uf.o. Hay, Att'y, U. S. for Richmond district. Cfty of Richmond, ss. Sworn to and subscribed before me, an alder dernian of the .city aforesaid, this sth day of September, 1807. Henry S. Shore. Sr. l.otiis, Hfuy 6 th x 1806. Sir Yon are to embark to-morrow, and will sail early next morning with Lockwood’s and Strong’s Co’s, for Fort Adams; and on arriving there, you are to add Campbell’s company to your detatchment. and must proceed without a moment’s unnecessary delay, up Red River to Nachitoches, where you arc to take the com mand The point of your destination being deemed at present a critical one, it is desirable your companies should be kept complete to the es tablishment ; and for this purpose you are to make such disposition of the recruits ordered from Tennessee or elsewhere as may be found Necessary. Your remote position from the posts east of the Mississippi, renders it convenient and ne cessary that they should, as heretofore, report directly to and receive orders from head-quar ters; but the commandants are to report to you monthly, and will be liable to your orders as senior officer of the district, whenever the pub lic service tnay require the interposition of your authority, which should be made with due caution, to avoid dashing with the arrange races ’.vhich raay i#su from head-quarters. The posts west of the Mississippi arc sub ject to your immediate command, and are to be governed accordingly. You are to appoint generii courts martial within the limits of your district,. and are. to decide on all sentences, which may not affect a commissioned officer, agreeably to the rules -.md articles of war. At the distance which separates us, it would be vain and presumptuous to prescribe precise rules for your conduct in command, where the occurrence of incidents and change of circum stances may be so unexpected and viriable as to batlle anticipation, and to t ender positive or ders destructive to the interests of the country. You are therefore to meet the public service with a sound discretion, and will be held res ponsible for events. The trust is a high and important one ; but it is with singular plea sure I can observe that iny long experience of your judgment and capacity leaves no doubt on my mind, the result will justify the public confidence, and prove honoiabie to your name and profession. I will theic-forc submit one observation only to your consideration ; it is, that you should not fail to employ the force confided to your command, wherever it may be found most ne cessary to protect or defend the rights and in terests of our country within the sphere of your authority. With the warmest wishes for your fame and happiness, I am, sir, your faithful friend and obedient servant, James Wilkixsom. Col. T. H. Cushing, 2 d Reg’t Infantry. T M Instructions from gen. H ilkinson to col. Cushing. St. Louis, May-3. 1807, 1 o’clock, A. M. Sir —Advice yesterday arrived from major Porter, makes it my duty to direct the accele tatioii of your movements by every practicable means, and, I trust, that in the present state of the waters, you may reach Fort Adams on the 20th inst. On arriving at that port, the information you may receive must determine the course of your conduct; should the Spaniards have resumed their positions east of the Sabine, or assumed a menacing aspect at Nacogdoches, you must add to your command, every man at Fort Adams, except a mere locum tenens , leaving orders at that place for lieut. colonel Kingsbury to fall down to the mouth of the Red river, and there wait the return of a sufficient number of your barges for his transport to the high grounds, from whence it may become expedient for you to march the whole of your command, except ing die boats’ crews. I hope major Porter may have taken the precaution to transmit the executive a copy of the information he has forwarded to me, and th..t you may receive from that source, at an curly petiod, decisive instructions for your go vernment ; m the mean time, though -war be our trade , it is not only opposite to the genius and disposition of our country, but also to its substantial interests. The sword must not, therefore, be drawn but in the last extremity, to punish outrage, to resist invasion, or repel an attack. Should indications justify it, (and you must take measures to ascertain, if possible, the de signs of your neighbors) you are to call to your aid every man who can be safely spared from the garrison, under your orders, and will em ploy every pains ami exertion, to put them in the highest state of fitness for offensive ope rations. You will find in the hands of major Porter an order from the secretary of war, which might justify you in pushing your neighbors beyond the Sabine river, should they have re-crossed it to the eastward. But as it appears from the public prints that a pacific negociation has, on our part, ensued these orders, you must not strain their construction to favor the effusion of blood, and involve our country itt the certain calamities and uncertain events of vv?r. Learn with all possible precision, the force, composition and situation of troops opposed to you ; be yourself prepared for combat, and if a conflict must ensue, having previously ani mated your men by a strong exhortation, and sworn your officers, in their presence, to fall or conquer, make your onset with the bayonet,and your own glory ; the honor of our arms, and the interests of the nation, will be ensured and maintained. Wishing you life and laurels, health and fame, I am, your faithful friend, and fellow soldier, James Wilkinson. Col T.H. Cushing, lsf. rtg. U.S. Infantry. P. S. You are to take with you from Fort Adams, an eight inch howitzer, which you will find there properly equipt and amply ammu nitioned. ■'’ LATEST PROCEEDINGS. Richmond, Saturday, October 10. This important enquiry is at length approach ing its crisis. The examination of evidence has closed and the argument commenced. On Wednesday the court met at 12 o’clock, and adjourned at an early hour, in consequence of an indisposition in Mr. Wirt’s family, which detained him at home. During the session of the court, Dr. John Brockenbrough and Joseph Cabell, esq. two of the grand jurors, were exam ined as to certain points of general Wilkinson’s evidence delivered to the grand jury. On Thursday, Mr. Bodley was again called in at the instance of the prosecution, to answer certain enquiries relative to colonel Burr’s con tract with colonel Lynch. He was followed by general Wilkinson, who made certain explana tions contradictory to major Bruff’s statement; among which; general Wilkinson particularly traced the nature of his connection with colonel Burr during late ycat s. lie also propounccd a variety of quesUons to major Bt uff. Hcte the evidence on both sides closed ; excepting one oi two witnesses, who are avowedly expected by both sides. The cotii.sel for the U. States expect lieut. Jackson of ‘he Chid . aw Binds. T iie accused have not avowed the name of the witness or witnesses whom they avowedly expect. Mr. Hay then opened the argument about half after two, and continued speaking till after tour. Yesterday Mr. Hay vesumed his argument and continued till twelve. He was followed by \,r. Randolph, who closed a few minutes be fote four. This day the argument will be resumed by Mr. Martin. o FROM THE lUCtUIOND ENQUIRER. ONE CI.ANCE AT LUTHER MARTIN, ZSQ. That our readers may understand a little more of the charcter and motives of this cele brated lawyer, we lay before them the follow ing affidavits. We are, however, satisfied that most of them will require no othe? evidence of his disposition than the tone and tenor of his speeches on the present prosecution. No wonder Mr. Martin was so zealous in supporting the doctrine of accessorial or deriv ative tieason ; no wonder he was so ‘vehement in calling for the record of the guilt of the prin cipal ; when the contrary doctrine might have so nearly dragged him to the ptccipice of mis prision of treason. AFFIDAVITS. Baltimore , 17 th August, 1807. Personally appeared before nie.'amuelChase esq. one of the associate judges of the supreme court of the United States, John C W bite,. .1). of the city ol Baltimore, and made oath on the holy evangelist of almighty God, that on or about the 10th of November last, or some time between the Bth and 25ih of said fnonth, in a conversation with Luther Martin, esq. oi the city of Baltimore, Mr. Martin observed, that he had not the Last hesitation in saying, that before twelve months, the western statse would be se parated from the Atlantic states, that he (Mr. Martin) had it from the best authority. John Campbell White. Sworn before— Samvel Chase. State of Maryland, Ann-ArundcU county , s. July 24th, 130 7- Personally appeared before the subscriber, a justice of the peace for the county aforesaid, Edward Hall, and made oath on the holy evan gelist of almighty God, that some time in the month of September last, in a conversation which he had with Luther .Martin (late attorney general of Maryland) respecting colonel Burr, Mr. Martin remarked that colonel Burr w*. uld be emperor of Louisiana in six months To which this deponent replied, from the charac'er of colonel Burr, he had too high an opinion of his talents and judgment to believe he wouid attempt so mad a project as a separation ot the western from the Atlantic states. To whicbMr. Martin remarked, you are mistaken ; I have no doubt but Burr will be declated emperor ofLou isiana in less than six months-—and as soon as he is. I shill pay him a visit. To which this deponent replied, you have been in the habit, Mr. Marlin, of prosecuting a number of persons for different offences, take care that you are nut in turn prosecuted for treason. Sworn before— Joseph Saxzs. District of Maryland, S3. Philip Graybell, oflawful age, residing in the city of Baltimore, maketh oath on the holy evan gelist of almighty God, that some time during the summer of 1806, he, this deponent, was standing at his store door m Market-street in the said city, and Luther Martin came up and addressed himself to this deponent to the fol lowing, effect—that Aaron Burr was to divide this country, that the Allegany mountain would be the divisionable line. Philip Graybell. Sworn before— Samuei Chase. The foregoing are copies of affidavits filed in the circuit court of the United States for the Virginia district. , Teste, William Marshall, clerk. In addition to these affidavits, general Eaton, whom Mr. Martin has attacked in his usual de sultory and scurrilous manner, in the Virginia Gazette, under the signature of Investigator, has communicated to the public the following fact; “ Add to this, I did myself, three years ago last winter, at the city of Washington, hear Martin predict the dismemberment of the union, on the same boundary line which he asserted to Mr. Graybell the emperor contemplated, and in a manner which convinced me he would wil lingly facilitate the project, if it would go to embarrass the executive ; against whom, it ap peared, he indulged some little, mean, persona! hatreds and resentments, rather than manly sentiments of political opposition, and. to gratify which he would make any national sacrifice ” Ravens Duck and Brown Hollands : The fubferiber has received * large quantity cl the above articles.
