gainst A\;ion Blur.
i'ai'lv last winter, col. Aarc’.t Bun
lute vice-president of the United States
si spit tied to me, ut this place, that, ondei
the authority of the •‘ general govern
tticsit, he was organizing a secret expe
dition against the Spanish provinces on
our south western borders ; which ex
pedition he was to lead, and in which he
was authorized to invite me to take the
command of a division. 1 had never be
fore been made personally acquainted
“with col. Burr ; and, having for many
years been employed in foreign service,
I knew but littic about the estimation this
gentleman now held in the opinion of his
countrymen and his governwent : the
rank and con'iilcncc by which he had
so lately been distinguished, left me no
right to suspect nis patriotism. I knew
him a Soldier. In case of a war with
the Spanish nation, which from the te
nor of the president’s message to both
H >uses of Congress seemed probable,
I should have thought jt my duty to o
bey vo honorable a call of my country ;
and. under that impression I did engage
to embark in the expedition. I had fre
quent interviews with col. Burr in this
citv—and, for a considerable time his |
object seemed to be to instruct me by
maps and other information the iesibi:-
ity of penetrating to Mexico—always
carrying forward the idea that the mea
sure was authorized by government.
At length, some time in February, he
be .Mil by degrees to unveil himself-
He reproached the government with
w ant of character, want of gratitude, and
want of justice. He seemed desirous
of irritating resent, nent in my breast by j
dilating on certain injuries he leit I had 1
>;fiet£‘L from relico icus mad;; on the’
fur of the house of Representatives]
concerning my operations in Barn-ary, j
a: id from the delays of government in j
adjusting my claims for disbursements ;
on that coast during my consular agen
cy at Tunis ; and he would point me to i
an honorable mode of indemnity. 1 now ]
began to entertain a suspicion that Mr. j
Burr was projecting an unauthorised j
military expedition ; which to me, was j
enveloped in mystery ; and, desirous to ‘
draw cut explanation from him, I suffer-1
eilTmn to suppose me resigned to his
counsel. —He now laid open his project
of revolutionising the western country,
separating it from the union, establish
ing a monarchy there, of which he was
to be the sovereign, New-Orleuns to be
his capital ; organizing a force on the
Waters of the Mississippi, and extending
conquest to Mexico. I suggested a
number of impediments to his scheme
-—'such as the republican habits of the ,
citizens of that country, and their af
fection towards our present administra- j
tiou of government; the want ot funds; i
the resistance he would meet from the \
regular army of the SJ. States on those j
f; tamers , and the opposition of Mi ran- j
da in case he should succeed to repub- !
licunise the Mexicans.
Mr. Burr found no difficulty in remo- j
ving these obstacles —lie said he had, |
the preceding season, made n tour thro’
that country, and had secured the at-;
tachment of tire principal citizens of
Kentucky, Tennessee and Ixjui.dana, to
liii person and iris measures—declared
he had inexhaustible resources to funds ;
assured me the regular army would act
with him, and would be reinforced In
tenor twelve thousand men from the a
bovo mentioned states and territory, and
from other parts of the union ; said he
had powerful agents in the Spanish
territory—and, as for Miranda, said
Mr. Burr, we must hang Miranda. He
now proposed to give me the second
command in his army. 1 asked who
should have the chief command i He
said Gen.ral / VilLvtson. 1 observed it
was singular that he should count on
General Wilkinson : the elevated rank
ad high trust he now held as com-1
nnuider in chief of our army and go-1
Ternor of a province, lie would hardly!
put at hazard for any precarious pros- \
poets of aggrandizement. Mr. Burr!
tiud General Wilkinson balanced in the 1
confidence of government, was doubt- j
ful of retaining much longer the con-,
federation he now enjoyed, and was 1
consequently prepared to secure to j
himself, a permanency.
1 asked Mr. Burr if he knew General I
Wilkinson ?. lie answered yes ; andech- _
oed the question. I said 1 knew him well.
Wbat do you know ®f hqn ? said Mr.
Burr —l know, I replied, 1 ’ that general
‘Wilkinson will act as- Licutenuht to no
man in existence. “ You are in an error,”
Saul Mr. Burt—‘ Wilkinson trill act as
Ei, utciuiii: to i/tt 1 .” From the tenor of
repeated conversations with Mt>. Burr,
I w.-.s induced to Believe the plan of sop- j
a rating the union which be had contem
plated had been communicated to and j
.approved of by gen. Wilkinson, (though I
now suspect it auariml argument of se-l
ilttciiun) and he eften expressed a full:
cotilideuce that thp general’* inliuence ; |
the offer of donblapay kdouble rations ; j
the prospect of plunder awl the ambition 1
of adiievmcnt would draw the army into j
his measures. Mr. Burr talked ol the !
establishment of an independent govern- J
jv.oftt west of the Alleghany as a “matter j
ot inherent, constitutional right of the
people ; a change which would evrr.tu-[
ally take, ph.-re, and for the operation of!
which the present crisis was peculiarly |
fa-, c ruble. There was, said he, no oner- j
•v in Ti‘t governnn tit to be dreaded, and j
the divisions of political opinions through
out the ut lion was a circumstance of
v htch we should profit. : There were
very many enterprising men among us
who aspired to something beyond the
dull pursuits of civil life and who would
volunteer in this enterprize, and the vast
territory belonging to.the United States,
v i.ich offered’ the edventuiers, the
mines of Mexico, would bring streriw i.
- ‘’ ■ ■ ■
f onect .o the exposition of col. BtftT’sviews
i'ith sceinin;'; acquiescence, livery in
ervie.v convinced me more and more
hat he had organised a deep laid plot of
.reason in the vest, in the accomplish
ment of which he felt fully confident,
fill, at length, I discovered that his l
ambition was not bounded bv the wa
rn rs of the Mississippi and Mexico, but
mat” he meditated overthrowing the
present government of our country. He
said if he could gain over the marine
corps, and secure the naval command
ers, Truxton, Preble, Decatur, S; ocher
he would turn Congress neck and heels
out of doors ; assassinate the President ;
seize on the Treasury and the .Vary,
and declare himself the protector of an
energetic government. The honorable J
trust of corrupting the marine corps,
and ol sounding commodore Preble
and captain Decatur, col. Burr proposed
confiding to me. Shocked at this pro
position, I dropped the mask, and ex
claimed against his views. He talked
ot the degraded situation of our country
and the necessity of a blow bv which
its energy and its dignity shoul be re
stored—said, if that blow could be struck
here at this time, he was confident of’
the support ot the best blood of Ame
rica. 1 told col. Burr he deceived him
self in presuming that lie, or any other
man could excite a party in this coun
try who could countenance him in such
a plot of despetation, murder and trea
son. He replied, that he, perhaps knew
better the dispositions of the influential
citizens of this country than I did. I
told him one solitary word would de
stroy him. He asked, what word. ? I
j answered. Usurper.’ He smiled at
Iniv hesitation, and quoted some great
! examples in his favor. I observed to
j him, that I had lately travelled from one
| extreme of the union to the other; and,
though I found a diversity of political
opinion among the people, they ap-1
pea red united at the most distant aspect
of national danger. That for the sec- !
non of the union to which 1 belonged,
I would vouch, should he shcceed in the
first instance here, he would within six
weeks afterwards have his throat cut by
Yankee militia.
Though wild and extravagant Mr.
Burr's vail prrjcri ; and though fraught
with premeditated lliughter, I felt very
easy on the fuhjed, because its defeat
he had depofued in my own hands. I
do not feel so secure concerning that of
disjointing the union. But the very in
terelliog and embarrafii lg fi.uasion in
which his commnmcations placed me,
left me, I confef3, at a Hand, to know
howto conduiff mys ls witii propriety.
1 He had committed no avert adl of aggrts
fion agamli law. I could draw nothing
[from him in writing; nor could I learn
that he had exposed his pians to any per
j son near me, hv whom my testimony
j could be lu,: ported. He had mentioned
| to me, no perfors tvho were principally
I and decidedly engaged witn him, except
I Gen Wilkinson, a Mr. Alston, who l
I found was his son in law-, and a Mr. E.
j phrairri K ; rby, late a captain of Ran
I gers in Gen Wayne's army, Sarisficn
that Mr Burr was resolute in ptifiiing liis
proj dt of rebellion in rise welt of the A1
leghany, and appr.hcnlive that it was too
well and too tXLr,lively organized to be
fairy fupprtffed ; though I dreaded the
weight of his character when bid in the
balance agatnft my solitary assertion, I
brought myself to the resolution to en
deavor to defeat it by getting him re
moved from among us, or to espofe my
felt to all conftqueiicts by a difclofu <
of hi* iiitcntion. Accordingly, I wait
cd on the Picfidrnt of the United States
and after fome defulatory conversation,
in which 1 ain-ici to draw his view to the
wiftward, I used the freedom to fay to
to the PrefttJrnt 1 thought Mr. Burr
I (hould be lent out ot this country ; and
■ gave for teafon, that l believed him dan
| gerous in it. The Prelid-t aiked me
! where he ihould be feut ? I mentioned
; London and Cadiz, The PrJiJent
| thought the trust too important, and
; ftemed to entertain a doubt of Mr. Burr’s
i integrity. 1 intimated, that no one,
’ pei haps had stronger grounds to miitruit
: Burr’s moral integrity than mys ir; yet,
: i believed ambition so much prtd. min.
[ ated over him that, when placed on an
eminence and put on hts honor, refpeef
to hinifdf would ensure hi3 fideh'y ;
His talents’ were to qutfuonable. I per
ceived the fu'jift was disagreeable to
the Prcftdent ; and to give it the fhort
etl course, to the point, declared my
concern that if Mr. Bun were not in
Joir.t tv ay drfpofcd of, tv; fhoud, within
months , have an infurredion, on the
j tvulers o/ Miffijftppi. The Pr, (blent
anfvvered, that he had too much confide ce
\in the information, the integrity, and the
attache.ent to the union of th*: citizens of
that country to admit an apprthei.fi >n
of the kind lam happy that events
prove this confidence well placed
as no interrogatories followed my ex
prefii m of alarm, I thought ftlence on
the fubjedt, at that time and place, be
tam me But I detailed, about the
fame time, the whole projects of Mr
Burr to certain mtmbtrs ot Congress.
They believed col. Burr capable ot any
thing ; and agreed that the le/iozu ought
to he hung ; but tho’t his projects too
eicfperate to give thefubjedt the merit of
ierious consideration. ‘i he fecurtty of
teeling that appeared in those to whom
1 had rung the toefin, induced me fuf
pid my own appreheniions ui.fcafonable
orai lead too deeply admitted ; and, of
coti-ie, I grew indifferent about the
Mr. Burr’s ▼;fits to me became left
•niquent and bis cotiverfaticm lei’s fami
ar. He appeared to have abandoned
lie idea ot a “eneral revolution ; but
...1 /,n t'oot rsC ♦ lir* M.* l ”
fippt; and, although 1 could not per*
eive symptoms of diftrult in him towards
me, he manifellcil great solicitude to cn
gage me with him in the enterprize.
Weary of his importunity, and at once
to convince him of my serious attach.
! ments, I gave the following toail to the
public : The United States ; Palfey to
the brain that ihould plot to dismember,
and leprosy to the hand that will not
draw to defend our natiou.
I doubt whether the fentimrnt was
better undcrllood by any ofiny acquain
tance than col. Burr. Our intereourfe
ended here ; we inct but seldom after
ward. 1 returned to my farm in Mas
sachusetts, and thought no more of Mr
j Burr, nor his empire, till sometime late
in September, or beginning of October,
when a letter from Morris Belknap, of
Marietta, to Timothy E Danielson, felt i
into my bands at Bnmticld, which fatu
fied me that Mr. Burr had actually com- ,
menced his preparatory operations on :
the Ohio. I now spoke publicly of the
ta£t ; transmitted a copy of the le’ ter
from Belknap to the department of Hate,
and about the fame time forwarded
through the hands of the ooft mailer ge
neral, to th prtfi lent of <h. United
States, a ftstement in fubltance, of what
is litre above detailed, concerning the
Miffitippi conspiracy of the laid col. Aa
ron Burr ; which is said to have been
the tirlt formal intelligence received by
I the executive on the lubjetl of the con
-1 Ipirator being in motion.
I know not w ether my country will
allow me the merit of eorreftnefs of con
duct in this affair. The uovelty of the
duty might, perhaps, have embarrassed
ttronger minds than mine. The up
rightness of my intentions l hope will
not be queftiored.
The interviews between col. Burr and

j meut has refuhed, were chiefly in this

Extradt of a letter from Liverpool, to s rofpil

“ The exclusion of our trade from the Con
tinent of Europe, will operate unfavorably on
Sea-llland and other title cottons ; the value ot
which from ieveral causes, has much decreuted
in this country. Almoil the whole of our
‘■ trade to the continent coi filled in fine twills,
made principally from l’ea-ifiand and other fine
I cottons; and iuch lias been the gradual unprove
, nient in machinery, that upland cottons may
now be uied tor almost any purpole, even for
the fine numbers for which formerly leu-illands
, alone would answer.”

COMMUXI C.JTIOA".
AN erroneous idea appears in fome mea
sure, to prevail among the citizens of Savannah
• relative to the offices of clerk of the Superior
and Inferior Courts. 1 seems to be pretty ge
i nerally imagined that the above mentioned offi
ces are neceilarily united together.—That one
perl'on musi hold both. This is a miltake,
The words of the law on this fuhjebt are ‘ that
the fame person may be clerk ot the Superior
and Inferior Court of tee fame county.”
Hence it is evident that altho* both offices may
be given to, it is not requisite that they Ihould
be bellowed upon one person. In a country
like this where the quantity of law bufitiels is
sufficient to make each office, ol itfelf, an object
oi importance, it is in my opinion more coniis
tent with jutlice, and the principles of our go
vernment, to separate these offices, ami bellow
them upon diffe. ent individuals.
