Burr ? A. It is [nobub.e tiui i uicl, for those
were my sc l.timer.ts. My great object was to
•apureliencl him, and deliver him over to that ci
vil power for trial ; and the city of Washing
ton was the place to which 1 wished him suit.
But I had no idea of doing an injury to his per
son. I rec iiiect a German came to me and
proffered to take colonel Burr ; but on coming
to particulars, he said he would take him dead
or alive. 1 as shocked at the idea, and declin

Have von hail any communication with him on
the subject of any invasion t>f Mexico, and
when i A. I cannot recollect. 1 have seen a
deposition ascribed to him, inserted in the pub

not certain then whether you ever wrote to him
on the subject ? A. lam ceitain that I never
wrote to him specifically on that subject. He
was an officer of the militia and I might have
corresponded with him on some matters relat

ceived an order from the government to ascer

and 1 might lime spoken or written to him on
that subject. Q. C. a you sav whether you did
or did not? A. I cannot. Q Did you inform
him of the object oflieut. Pike’s expedition?
A- I think not, from the deposition I have seen.
Here are my orders to lieut. Pike. (General

R L MARKS
ON THE RETORT OF A COMMITTEE OF THE
BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS ON THE WEST
IN 1)1 A COI.OKIES.
From the New York Public Advertiser.
This is a doleful report. It is a companion
piece to tiv.. king’s dying speech. It states the
British Wes: India trade not to be worth car
rying on, and me projects it proposes as reme
dies are inadequate ‘o the purpose. When
Bonaparte sees this report he will find that he
struck the right nail on the head by shutting
England out From tiie commerce and market
of tne continent of Europe.
The report states that the expence to the
West India planter ot raising ov.e hundred
pounds of sugar, and sending it to the London
market, is from 35 to 36 shillings, and that the
price of it has fallen from 69 shillings to 335.
6d. which is the average price for the last eight
months ; about the length of time the blockad
ing decree of Bonaparte has been in force.
This fall in the price of sugar in England is
occasioned by the loss of the market o i the con
tinent of Europe ; in consequence of ■ inch, the
Englis-t market has become so guilt ’ i that the
plan et s are obliged to sell their sugar at the
price it cost them to get their money back
again.
The report says, that formerly’ the British
merchants enjoyed nearly a monopoly ol the
Eu opean market, but that at present they can
no.', enter into a cuv.-petition neither with the
p ante os of die neutral nor hostile colonies. It
alb.i s.ys that in the last year, 1806, there was
imported into Amsterdam alone in 2! 1 vessels
belonging to he United States, 33,085 hhds.of
c be and 45,097 hhds. sugar.
due report after thus stating the wretched
con,:;.ion of the West India trade, prays pur
lin i nit to apply such measures as “ shall com
/ 7/ ■ Ruropeun continent to have recourse to
the ly source jf supply (meaning themselves)
which would then be open to it.” What a set
o: . 1 One of the measures it proposes is,
t.. .i French colonies shall he restricted as Jar
is n <iple, from exporting West India firoduce

tli • case is, tile English government is mad, and
the l etchedness of the people has made them
s;u ;bk Why do they not make a revolution as
the Ar'ish colonies, now United Ststes, did,
a 1 s tve the uselves from ruin ? Why do they
not send away their Hanoverian king ?

Two gentlemen who were deputed from the

discover if their iiv.entions were hostile, have
returned. They report that the nations they

red brethren are determined to interfere in no

The king of Prussia has issued two remark

from the oath of fidelity the inhabitants of the

in the following terms ;—“ Be to your new so

ther time nor circumstances can efface from

I he second proclamation respects the Polish

ises them to quit their colours.”

the exclusion of British commerce from the
comment of Europe, the English merchants
have shipped in extraordinary quantity of goods
to the American markets. We beiieve the

of their manufactures into the United States,
must render the British mercantile interest
doubly anxious to preserve peace with this coun

property from them. One thing is positively
proved by the large autumnal importations ot
