TRIAL of COLONEL BURR.
FEDERAL COURT.
Saturday, June 20.
Immediately on the meeting of th e
court, Mr. Hay produced a letter to
him from the President of the United
States inclosing authenticated copies of |
the orders issued from the Departments
of War and the Navy relative t« the
suppression of Aaron Burr’s conspira
cy. He observed that the court would
recollect the former letter from the
President mentioned the circumstance
of his having entrusted to Mr. Rodney,
General Wilkinson’s letter, which Col.
Burr now demands to be produced ;
that the President had written’ to Mr.
Rodney to return it, that it might be
furnished to the court; but since that
gentleman, (as he understood,) had late
ly Iclt Wilmington in Delaware, on his
way to the City of Washington, the
President’s letter by the mail might
have passed him on the road. lie
doubted not, however, that, as soon as
possible, the letter in question would
corne to hand.—The President’s letter
and the documents inclosed were receiv
ed, as his return, in part , to the writ of
subpoena duces tecum , and are as follows.
Washington June 17, 1807.
Sir,
IN answering your letter of the 9t’n,
which desired a communication ol one
to me iron*. Gen. Wilkinson, specified
by its date, 1 informed you in mine of
the 12th, that I lu.d Delivered it, with all
other papers respecting toe charges
against Aaron Burr, to the Attorney
General when he went to Richmond,
that i had supposed he had left them
in your possession but would immedi
ately write to him, if he had not to for
ward that particular letter without de
lay. I wrote to him accordingly on the
same day, bu having no answer, 1 know
not whether he has forwarded the let
ter. I stated in the same letter that I
had desired the Secretary at war to ex
amine his office in order to comply with
your further request to furnish copies
of the orders which bad been giveu res
pecting Aaron Burr and his property ;
and in a subsequent letter of the same
clay, 1 forwarded to you copies of two
letters from the Secretary at War,
which appeared to be within the descrip
tion expressed in your letter. The or
der from the Secretary of the Navy, you
said you were in possession of.
The receipt of these papers had, I
presume, so far anticipated, and others
this da) forwarded will have substan
tially fuifiled the object of a subpoena
from the District Court of Richmond
requiring that those officers and myself
should attend the court in Richmond
with the letter of Gen. Wilkinson, the
answer to that letter, and the orders of
the Departments of War and the Na
vy therein generally described. No an
swer to Gen. Wilkinson’s letter, other
than a mere acknowledgment of its re
ception in a letter written for a different
purpose, was ever written by myself or
any other. To these communications
of papers, I will add, that if the defend
ant supposes there are any facts with
in the knowledge oftlie heads ofdepart
ments, or of myself which can be use
ful for his defence, from a desire ofdo
ing any thing our situation will permit
in furrance of justice, we shall be i
ready to give him the benefit of it, by
way of deposition through any persons
whom the court shall authorise to take
our testimony at this place. I know in
deed Mr. liay, that this cannot be done
but by consent of parties, and I there
fore authorise you to give consenton the
part of the U. 8. Mr. Burr’s consent
will be given of course if he supposes
the testimony useful.
As to our personal attendance at
Richmond, I am pursuaded the court is
sensible that paramount duties to the
nation at large control the obligation of
compliance with their summons in this i
case, as they would, should we receive 1
a similar one to attend the trials of Blan- i
nerhassen and others in the iVlissisippi ]
territory, those instituted at St. Louis, 1
and other places on the Western wa- <
ters, or at any place other than l 4he seat ’
of government. To comply with such i
culK wc ulu nave l k iiiitiwn without an
executive cranfb. v !in cgeticy never
theless is understood to b< so constant
ly necessary, that i‘ is tire sole branch
which the constitution requires to be al
ways in function. It c>uld not then
mean that it should be withdrawn from
i its stat in by any co-ordinate authority.
With eSj.'cct to papers, there is cer
tainly a public, and a private side to our
offices. To tile former belonging grants
of land, patents tor inventions, certain
commissions, proclamations, and other
papers patent in their nature. To the
other belong mere executive proceed
ings. All nations have found it neces
sary that, forme Advantageous conduct
of their affairs, some of these pr ceed
ings at least, should remain known to
their executive functionary only. He
of course, from the nature of the case,
must be the hole judge of winch of them
the public interest will permit publica
tion. Hence under our constitution, in
requests of papers from the legislative
to the executive branch, an exception is
carefully expressed asto those which he
may detm the public welfare may re
quire not to be disclosed, as you will
see ill tlie inclosed resolution of toe
House of Representatives winch produ
ced the message of Jan. 22, respecting
this case. Tile respect mutually due
between the constituted authorities in
their official intercourse, as well as sin
cere dispositions to do for every one
what is just, will always ensure from
the executive, in exercising the duty of
discrimination confided to him, the
same candor and integrity to which the
nation has m like manner trusted in the
disposal of its judiciary authorities.
Considering you as the organ, for com
municating Lnese sentiments to the
court, I address them to you ior that
purpose, and su ute you with esteem
and respect. ,
TH: JEFFERSON.
I CERTIFY that the annexed is a
true copy from the records, in tne office
of the department of the navy of tne
United States, ofthe letter from the se
cretary of the navy to Capt. John Shaw,
dated, 20th December, 1086.
In faith whereof I, Robert Smith, se
cretary ofthe navy ol the United
States of America, Lae signed
these presents, and caused the seal
L» s of my office, to be affixed hereto ;
at the City of Washington, this
17th, day of June, Anno Domini
1807, and in the 31st year of the
independence of the said states.

Aavy Department 20 i/i Dec. 1806.
Sir,
A MILITARY expedition formed
on the western warters by Col. Burr,
will soon proceed down the Missisippi,
and by the time, you receive this leftr,
will probably be near New-Orleuns.
You will by all the means in your pow
er, aid the army and Militia in sup
pressing this enterprize. You will with
your boats ta"ke the best position to in
tercept and to take and it necessary to
destroy the boats descending under the
command of Col. Burr or of any person
holding an appointment under him.
There is great reliance on our vigilant
and exertions.
I have the honor to be,
Sir, your most ob’t servt.

Or the commanding naval officer at
Aew-Orleans.
“ IVar Department Dec. 20, 1806.
“Sir, i
“ THERE is reason for believing i
that an association of unprincipled, am- <
bitious and deluded men, has been form- <
ed for purposes hostile to the laws and i
peace of the United States, and that I
they are now descending the river Oliio ]
and Missisippi, in considerable bodies, \
with large quantities of provisions and i
military stores, and that New-Orleans t
S.Vc URDAY, JULY 11, 1807.
will, be the place of general rendezvous,
i or perhaps attack in the first instance.
Vou will, therefore, in concert with the
governor, make every possible exer
tion in your power for defeating their
views, and for securing both men and
stores; especially their leaders.
The gunboats will receive orders by
this conveyance, to take post up river.
J iie avtilh ry lately purchased from
the French government will probably
be aimed at, as well as other military
apparatus : indeed, the capture of Nt w-
Orleans and all public property at that
place, is picsumcd, by many, to be the
first object.”
I am very respectfully,
Bir, yt ur ob't servant,

I GLRI IP\ that the within is a true
copy from the records of the depart
ment of war.
Given under my nod the seal
of tiie war ofifitf of the United
l. s. States, this seventeeth day of
June, one thousand eight hundred
and seven.
H. DEARBORN.
Secretary of War.
Mr. Randolph, proceeded to make his
motion that a rule be made against Gen.
VY ilkinson, to shew cause wherefore an
attachment should not be awarded
against him for a contempt of the court.
After some preliminary observations, he
Was about to introduce the affidavits of
Janies Knox and Chandler Lindsley,
w htn Mr. l ay objected to the reading
of those affidavits, on the ground that
they had been w ritten by the counsel of
Col. Burr ; tho’ they might have been
dictated by the witnesses.
Mr. Baker one of the counsel of Col.
Burr declared that he wrote the affidavit
of ChandVr Lindsey at his request;—
that the witness had bi ought h to u pa
per written by himself as the substance
of his affidavit, requesting him to draw
it ofl for the purpose of putting it in
proper form and correcting its gram
matical inaccuracies ; which lie had ac
cordingly done.
1 he Chief Justice said, “ the objec
tion to reading the affidavits is not good
in point of law : the reason of the rule
that affidavits are received on mo*ions
of this nature is to prevent the time of
the court from bung unnecessarily oc
cupied : but that reason dots not. at
present apply ; since the court is wait
ing for the grand jury, and is not occu
pied with civil business.” lie therefore
directed the witnesses to be examined
viva voce.
Mr. M'Liac observed that, as this
was a motion of consequence to the re
spectable gentleman (Gen. Wilkinson)
whose character was attacked, he wish
ed him to be present; that Gen. YV.
was then before the grand jury, and a
short delay vvouli, enable him to be pre
sent. It was possible facts of tome
moment were known to him, and not
to the counsel; and he miehl gest
important questions to ihe°witnesses.
Mr. M'Rae also contended t: ,t wit
nesses ought to be examined on L ;h
sides, that the whole truth might he
known.
A dispute of some length ctv-ued;
the counsel for Col. Burr contending,
that, as this was only a mbtion for a
rule to shew cause; neither Gen. YV il
kinson nor his 1 ought to be Iv ai d
upon it; that, hereafter, when he < fine
to shew cause against issuing the at
tachment, he would be permitted to
exhibit evidence on his part, i.nd to
cross-examine the witnesses against
him; but not until then; and the coun
sel for Gen. Wilkinson arguing that
the court ought to prefer a full to a
partial view of the evidence ; that his
presence Would aid the court in asking
the proper questions , and that, altho’
he and his counsel were not legally in
court, they had a right to be heard as
amici curiae; that, as to the right of
introducing witnesses in his favor at
this sfage of the business, it was the
practice, where the party; (against
whom an attachment was requested,)
was not present; to serve him with a
rule to shew cause; but, where lie was
