Col. Burr, during our short acquaintance, hazarded

Neither tlie tenor of my conversation,' nor my cir

w I come now to perform that part of my promise,
which relates to gen. Wilkinson s connexion with
Burr. Enough has already appeared before the pub- j
he to convince every one, who will take the trouble
of reflecting, that if the piaa did not originate with
Viilunson, he was at lea&i one oime ciuei conspi
rators. This plain palpable evidence has been look
ed on with an indifference that has astonished me.

.-directs his whole attention to that quarter. Those

y -ting on the banks of fhe Danube, will, rtpw that their
triumph is complete, be immediately marched a

Bun's affairsiwill show us that the impracticability,
hot the wichednesii of the scheme, that induced
Wilkinson to abandon it At any rate, though his
disclosure might excuse him from punishment, it
ought scarcely to have entitled him to confidence.
The JQng't evidence, by hanging his accomplice
sometimes slip his own neck out of the halter, but
I never yet heard that it gave him a claim to any of
fice of profit or trust. Nor would it, I think, be
deemed, wise to put the city watch4under the com
mand of a robber, because he had quarrelled and im
peached the rest of the gang. A little attention to
the subject will sltow this to be literally the predi
cament of the COMMANDER IN CHIEF of the
American Army. ,
We have seen, from a question put by gen. W.
to Mr. Graham, that he thinks my being in New-
Orleans at the time Mr.' Burr made a visit of ten
days there, is a cause of suspicion. What then shull

for the School a deservedly high reputation. ' Hit
labours were crowned with every success that could .
