[M] I’.xtratt ‘jf a letter from general James If ilkin -101! to the honorable If, Dearborn secretary of near , dated AiUchtz, Se/tt. titb, 1806. i arrived at tfiis place last evening at six /dock and addressed a note to the secrctaiy and -lie territory (gov. Williams being absent) f which you have a copy under cover with his answer ; this morning i w .ited on him, and liy.e seen the plan adopted by governor Clai borne and himself, the first article of which ap pears to be in direct opposition to your order inspecting the removal of the Spaniards from li iyou Fieri -, to which place I understand they have fallen back, from the vicinity of Aduycs, and I hope they may continue there until my arrival at Natchitoches; for which place I shall commence my journy the moment after I have aaranged vvuli the secretary of the territory, for such auxiliary force of militia, as may eventu ally become necessary from his jurisdiction ; governor Claiborne has, l understand, array ed the miiitia. in the western countries of the teiritory of Orleans, but I shall disccurage their inarch, until I have penetrated the designs of the spnnniards, and may find him deaf to the solemn appeal which i shall make to his un dertaking, his interests and duty. Let the pfesident be assured, sir, I shall drain the cup of conciliation to maintain the peace of our count!and that the sword shall not be urawn, but in the last extremity, after reason and rcmonstiance have f.iilt to preserve inviolate our territory east of the Sabine ; but at the same lime, that .mawful responsibility restrains the inclinations and ambition of the soldiers, to this temperate course of conduct, in opposition to the order which I think 1 dis cern in the executive officers of these tei do ries, l will pledge my life to him, that no act shall be suffered within my knowledge to tar nish the national honor or cifecl the lustre of his administration. If the precautions embraced by my instruc tions to colonel Cushing of which I transmitted you a copy from St. Louis, have prevented the elfusion of blood, 1 n list believe 1 have done some good to the state, because the retrospec tion ol the Spaniards has rendered the ultimate appeal unnecessary at least for the present, and us nothing can be lost and every thing may be gained by a lutle delay, ii seems better the op portunity for exciting; hostilities should have es caped, than it should have been seized on to let slip the dogs of war, befor e the effect of concil ia'ory mcas .its had been duly tested. 1 he retrogade ol the Spaniards is not ac counted for but may be ascribed to three caus es, the unheaUhiness ofthc troops, the want of j forage foi live im . ensc cavalcade with which ‘ they are incumbered, on the failure of provi sions ; but as they would scarcely have made t sr> formidable and hold an advance in the face ol tlic prohibition interred by major Potter, without posi n c ordets tiom the competent au thority, it is reasonable to presume when the cause of theit retrogression inis been removed, they may resume tnetr former position, for , which events some preparatory arrangements i must be commenced 1 lie Spaniards who have j approached Nuthhuches bcjpgall mounted and | without artillery, and each private being oblig ed to keep up lour horses and a mule for ser vice, out of his pay ol an hundred dollars per month.it will be impossible for them to main* tain a fouilicuiioii, but the same circumstance will enable them to tefuse, or to give battle t 6 our infantry at theit discretion; to remedy this disadvantage and enable me, should 1 be three t to appeal to arms, to drive them effectuallv be yond ihe Sabine or cut them up, l shall endea vour to proeme about five hundred dragoons and mounted militia fiom the two territories, unless 1 should find them so incautious as to enable me, by a fin ccd march of the establish ed troops, to surprise then camp under cover of the night ; but his is scarcely to be expected, if the commanding officer [>ossesse* a spark of niili ary knowledge or experience. A blow once struck, it would appear expedi ent that vve should make every advantage of it, and if men and means ate furnished. I will soon plant our standards on the left bank ol Grand River —But l must beg leave to remark to you, that for distant operations or the protection of our western frontier against the predatory in cursions of the Spanish cavalry, a body of mounted men is absolutely indispensiblc. Ixl Cofnt of a letter from g ncral If i/kieson to the Secretary at liar. Head Quarters, Nachitoches, Oct. 4 1806. Sir—l y esterday morning received governor Cordero’s answer to my address of the 24th ult. copies of which you have under cover. The va ried stvie of this letter, when contrasted with those of governor II errata to colonel Cushing and governor Claiborne, combined to the cir cumstances of the Spanish troops having re crossed the Sabine to a man, has induced me on the ground of economy and expediency also to discharge the militia who had reached this place, and *o countermand those under march, excepting about one hundred dragoons and mounted infantry, whom I shall retain in ser vice. ui.til lam apprized of the determination of the captain general Salcedo, to watch the movements of our neighbors to prevent their sinister intrigues with our disaffected citizens, ind should they re-enter our territory, to aid he established troops in expelling them. The Sparu.ati raised his camp at the Bayou Pienc r>n the 27m ult. trevetseu the country to the high way leading Irom this place to Na cogdoches, which he intersected on the 2'Hh about twenty-six unties in my front, and on ‘he 30th crossed the Sabine and took post on the right bank, where colonel Cushing left him the Is*, liut notwithstanding I have been deter nftned to diminish my force, as the pretensions of governor Hart ara have not been letractcc! nor our jutisdiclion acknowledged, and as the position taken on the right bank of the Sabiin is a material departure from the s'.ate of things at the surrender of the province to us, and ex poses our territory’- to immediate invasion- 1 shrdl continue my preparations for defence anti offence,and to wipe otf the stigma which cavil licrs may attach to the Spanish repossession of the ground, from whence vve had driven them ; to give confide"'c towi-i friends, to confirm the wavering, and the disaffected : and above all, to assert unequivocally tiie pretentions of the go vernment, I have taken post within the limits claimed by the officers c>f Spain, and in a few days shall move forward to the east bank of the Sabine, where I shall wait the answer of the captain general Salcedo Were I required to justify this step, I should reply, that the U. States having forced a Spanish guard to retire from a position within their acquired territory, that power protested against the act, denied their pretentions and armed for the avowed puipose of recovering the ground fiom which they had been driven. That a Spanish commander of respectable rank, at the head of a considerable force in military array, did not only recover that ground, but took a position much nearer tc our barrier and far within our limits. That this officer claimed the jurisdiction of the country cast of the Sabine, to the Arroyo-Hondo, and in behalf of his master the king of Spain, and de clared his determination to protect and defend it as such. Were we to suffer such outrages upon the national sovereignty to pass over w ith out notice, injurious interpretations m.ght be levelled at our military character, and our for bearance might be construed into a tacit dirilec ion of our claims. - . Under these circumstances, and to do array the shadow of right which the Spaniards may endeavor to found on their posterior occupancy, 1 feel it incumbent on tne to take possession of the controverted tract to its utmost verge, where my conduct will be regulated by that of my neighbors, who the last evening occupied the spot where colonel Cushing left him on the Ist. instant with his advanced guard mounted immediately on the bank of the river : but you nn.y rest assured, nothing shall be done on my part to excite unreasonable jealousies or to pro voke hostilities ; and therefore, to prevent the misinterpretation of my movements, 1 have tak en the precaution to write governor Cordero this day, wu ning him of my intentions, and the motives by which I am actuated agreeably to the copy now transmitted you. OI the militia from this territory, about four hundred have turned out, which was more than 1 expected. From the Mississippi ‘1 erritory I have not yet heard, and therefore cannot say in what force they are advancing ; I have hope from the as pect of Mr. Cordero’s letter, and the actual state of their military at this moment, of which I have acquired the most clear and particular knowledge, that our differences here nay be adjusted on honorable terms and without blood shed ; I ‘ball however be prepared lot events, and will keep you regularly advised of every material occurrence. With great consideration and respect, lam Sir, Y'our obedient servant, James Wilkinson. The honorable Henry Dearborn, Secretary a. Har. Letter from general Andreev Jackson , to his c.r celiency William C. C. Cltiiborne , tsy. Sir —Although it is a long time since I sat down to write you, still that friendship which once existed, remains bright on my part, and although since 1 had the pleasure of seeing you, 1 have waded through difficult and disa greeable scenes; still 1 have all that fondness for my old and former friends that 1 ever had, and their memory lias been more endeared to me by the treachery 1 have experienced since 1 saw you, by some newly acquired one6. In deed I fear :,eachery is become tire order of the day—this induces me to wiiteyou—pul your town in a state of defence, organize your militia and defend your city as well against in ternal enemies as external ; my knowledge does not extend so far as to authotise me to go into detail ; but I fear you will meet with an attack from quarters you do not at present expect. Be upon the alert ; keep a watchful eye on our general, and beware of an attack, as well from your own country as Spain. 1 fear there is something rotten in the state of Denmark. You have enemies within your own city, tlrat may try to subvert your govern ment, and try to separate it from the union. You k iow I never hazard ideas without good grounds ; you will keep these hints to yourself. But I say again be upon the alert ; your go vernment I fear is in danger. I fear there are plans on foot inimical to the union ; whether they will be atte opted to be carried into effec or not I cannot say ; but rest assured they are in operation or I calculate boldly. Beware of the month of December. 1 love my country and government ; 1 hate the Dons ; I would delight to see Mexico reduced, but I will die in the last ditch before l would yield a foot to the Dons, or see the union disunited : this I write for your own eye, and for your own safety ; profit by it, and the idea of March remember. With sincere respect, I ant, as usual, your sin cere friend, Andrew Jackson. November 12th, 1805. Mrs. Jackson desires her best wishes to you.

Mr. Jh adfoid also mentioned, that he had scon at the mouth of Cumberland river some of the public gun-boats and a number of men employ- I ed in fitting them out, and that they were to! join Purr ; that the men at work on board the gun-boats told him (Bradford).that colonel Ly i on had given up the gun-boats to colonel Burr, and that he colonel Lyon was one of Burr’s partisans; Bradford further observed that he saw a number of small arms which he suppo sed were carried on board the gun-boats, and that the men at work on board the gun-boats informed him (Bradford) that colonel Burr had issued arms and ammunition io 12.000 men ; that Burr’s flotilla consisted of seven gun-boats and a brig of 10 guns, and that captain Talbot was commander of the flotilla : Bradford also observed, that he was suspected, and that in otde r to shew his innocence, he would wait on general Wilkinson and disclose to him all he knew concerning Burr and his plots, and iur thcr this deponent saith not.

Be it remembered, that this day, to wit; the 16th day of April, anno domini 1807, personal ly appeared before me the subscriber, one of the justices of the peace for the city and parish of New-Oileans, John Shaw, Esq. captain in the United States navy, and William Tharp, Esq. who being first duly sworn on the holy evangelist oi almighty God, declared and said, that on or about the 15th day of January last, 1807, passing from the coffee-house about the hour of 12 o’clock, at noon, they were accosted opposite the principal, by judge Prevest of this place, who observed, that he was happy to in form these deponents, that general Adair, the second in command to colonel Burr, had arriv ed in town and was then at madam Nourage’s ; that he had just waited on him, or had seen the man who had created so much stir, who said, colonel Burr would be in town in three days after him, that it would soon be discovered if the constitution and justice would prevail, or that of the usurpation of power and tyranny manifested in the measures at present adopted. Other remarks were made by the judge in tone and jesture discovering evident marks of irri tation and opposition to the me; sure* of the officers of the government and impressed one of these deponents with an idea that the judge’s object was to be personal with captain John Shaw, and extorted u reply that he (capt. Sh. vv) knew no private character; he obeyed,and exe cuted his orders without paitiality, and should always he alert to meet and apprehend the disturbers of the peace and harmony of his go vernment. These deponents remained but a few minutes with judge Prevost, and went to the lodgings of the captain, where the depo nents considered it correct to inform general Wilkinson, that general Adairwas then in town; which captain Shaw did by sending his servant with a note u> general Wilkinson.
