Gazette de France. BURR'S CONS PIRACY. rp.or.or.TcWN, (s. c.) Feb. 11. ■C.'rjni of a letter from the Hon. Joseph Alston , to his Excellen cy Charles Pinckney. Oaks, G lh Feb. 1807. Dear Sir, Tliavc received and read the President's message with deep mortifientihn arid ‘ concern, lfut the letter annexed to d', stated T 6 be a communication in cyphers from Col; Burr to gen. YVilkin sOn, excites my unfeigned asto nishment. I solemnly avow that when that ietu-r was written, l bad never heard, directly or m direcdy from col. Burr or any other person, ot the meditated attack on Nesv-Orieaus, nor bad 1 any more reason to suspect an attack on that place, or an;, other paitol the U. S. than I have at th's moment to suspect that our militia will be forthwith ordered on an expedition against Gibral tar. On tiie other hand, I had long had strong gro Vds for be lieving that col. Burr was engag ed by other objects, of a very different nature from those attri buted to him,and which i confess the best sentiments of mv heart approved.’ I need not add that those objects involved not the in terestj'of mv country.'’ Without adverting to that in- I trgrity of principle, which even i my enemies, I trust, have a!- j lowed me,can it be supposed that Ia man situated as I am, descen -1 ded from a family which has ne j verlcnown dishonor,happy in the ! affection and esteem of a large j number of relations & friends, | p©Hi:fled of ample fortune, 1 and (landing high in the ton” fidence of his fellow-ertizens, could harbour, for an indant, a thought injurious to the country which was the feeneof those bleflings? The supposi tion would be monstrous. No lir. It was but a fliort period I before the imprellion became \ general, that apprehended the ! pojfibility of Mr. Burr’s inten j nous being holtile to the u ’ nion; and the moment which j gave bioh to that apprehenfr on, gave birth to the resoluti on which became a citizen.— | I confcls, however; there are ! times even now, when, in spite ; of the flrong fatts which have i been exhibited, I am almost , inclined to believe my fufpici* ; oiss injurious. Whatever may be thought I of the heart of Mr. Burr, lus j talents are great beyond quef. 1 tion; and to teconci'e with iuch talents, the chimerical projefci of dismembering the Union, or wresting f-om it a ny pait of its territory is dtfli j cult indeed. 1 travelled thro’ | a part of the Weflern country j during the la It lummer, and j have no hesitation in laying, j that either of those piojebis would have been as much le orobated there as in the Allan tic States. With relped, how ever, to the communication annexed to theprefident's rneli - Cage; which occalions you the trouble ot this letter; after my foiemn afluranevs to you. that 1 lad never given col. Burr or any other person the fmal lclt tcafon to imagine tiiat 1 could be induced to engagUn any project againlliny county; it would be inlinitcly iatisfato ry to me, could I explain to 1 you, with the fame cerUnty j the motive which led hi* to intioduce my name as lwdid. I But here, unfortunately, ill is j conjeOuie. Two motiveon. jly I'uggelt themselves. He i imagined perhaps, which by j the way, he had no ligli to do—rhat his inlluence vou Id j he fufficienify gteat to iiluce j my aflcm, and thought, tcre r i fore, he might as well corider I it already obtained —or, vrich I is more probable, he light l have imagined that (by the apparent concert of a nuFcr of per foils from differ ent ji\es, I a jironger imFrejfioa -iconic be made upon his co-> rcjpondenr— Considerable ejjdl, too, ms no doubt, anticipated by lr. Burr’s dtfeernment from he perfeß self confidence wkh would have been manifefld bv his taking with him is daughter, receiving Mt.c'O t, / peiation, arid thus embarkig in the fell erne the fortunes f his infant grandson —tire on/ relative, except ins danghte, that he has. But whatever the motive which drew from col. Bu: the assertions contained in hi idler to Gen. Wilkin Ton; fuel.. incontrovertible jails, prov that he had no authority so making them. His daughte did not go zuith him; the navj of the United States is fit faithful to its duty; com. Trux ton, lam told, at the very moment he was faid.to have gone to the Weft-Indies, was in Philadelphia, which I know not whether he has ever left; and I, in Head of following v.i h a corps of worthies, am now at my usual re fidence — where I have been ever f nee the adjournment of the legijlature , peaceably directing the plough ing of my 1 ice-fields and pre paring my lands for the enfu’ ing crop. This is conclusive. A conspirator againlt the hap piness or liberties of his coutr try, would have been, at this moment, very differently em ployed. Conspirator! the blood that burns my check, as I write the word—but I tnegnt to confine tnyfelf limply to the dtfavowal, I have made you, of a Tingle aßion or thought holtile to inv country. To feel even that difavowa! necessary is fufficicntly painful: I have yielded, however, to circumstances, and made it. My unequivocal manner of making it, I trult will not leave a doubt upon one candid or honest mind. Still I am aware that tlie common interchange ■ of good offices with a man, j with whom I have been lon j nearly co-nnefcied, may have (given tile to\tircumllances which, however innocent in themselves, malignity will de light in dillorting, and the il liberal among my political ad vet laries exult in difleminat iug. 1 am awaic that there will be men bale enough—for I you and 1 have, not longs nee, j lven proof's ol it—to wntlper ) even the circumiiance oi my J conneßion, by marriage, with j col. Burr, as a circuuiltance ; warraniing jvfpxcion. About 1 the opinions ol Juch men 1 am j indifferent- i o tlie more in genuous and better part of my lellow-citizens, of whatever leß or party, I can only lu lemniv repeat, as i have done to you, icon or would 1 have pertfhed than harboured a thought subversive of the It- lerties.tfe happineL or tl.c’ g-ality of my country, j'! ]fie always be judged h v )r , twn alls, and I fha-l b e ‘[f icd.
