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. RT: SMITH, Secretary of the Aavy. Registered, Ch: W. Soldebohough, Chief Cik. n. d. (Copy.) 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. (Signed,) RT: SMITH. Capt. John Shaw, 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, (Signed) H. DEARBORN. Li. Col. Constant Freeman 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
