States, is now in this city, i guard ea as a state-pri- sorer. We have had no opportunity of conversing with his escort but a gentleman who travelled with them in the stage, has given Us the foi lowing account of the manner ot his arrest; obtained from their lips. It is hot to be expected that it should be completely correct ; but we shall hereafter amend vvhattver imperfections we may be fortunate enough to detect. Col. Burr wa3 apprehended in the Tombigbee count! y, in the first days ot March perhaps the 3dy in the following manner : A gentleman,, whose name is represented to us to be Perkins, was at a public house in a village in that country, a few miles (perhaps 18 or 20); irom the Spanish Line. He was in company of the sheriff ot the county. . Ab iUt 1 1 o'clock at night, a gen tlemari rode up to the door, arid enquired for the house of a Major who lived in the neighbour hood. He was to.iowed by another who turned out to be his compa- nion. 1 ne stranorers were told; r that the hOuse of the Major they enquired fory was at some distance from - the tavern ; -and that they would have to cross a water-course which had been swollen y the wa ters and might be dangerous of ac cess.z.;;ulhe strangers however, persevered in their mtentioh, and left the door of the taverni : f " Mr. Perkins was' surprised by inese singular movements s a hat merffat that lateV hourotVa cblcl night should leave the;iom0rts rt a tavern, and explore a dahge'rousi j road ol which the)? were professedly ignoranttne luea was a source ot considerable astonishment. It na turally: led to soma speculation on tbe character of thei strangers, and he could hot start any rational ex planatiohf iilieilvmyisterious- con duct, butt that: they were robbers who intended to pilfer the major's home, lie determined, it possible to prevent their' design, and pre vailed Upon- his companion, - the sheriff, to accompany him to this scenfc It is presumed, from thictrcurnstance "hit the Colonel wa not far from the Ho rfdaline.and that he was aboitt: to take ret fuge iH tbes dominMins .of Spaln the"onljr pot" of irround in taat quarter of the coun: try, Where h ctfuldbe exempt from the rnoritj i ine u. o. np ioac no imenae dacad .tU Mobile & repair t9 f ensae the When 'they arrived, the Major wa fro'ri home . One pthgen tletnen was in tbe house j the othej had retired to the kitchen, to warm his shivering .limbs. The first glanoe which Mr. P. cauht of this Msitaht of the kitchen, convinced him that the mysterious stranger was no other than Col. Burr. Vhe ther Mr. P.. recognized hiin from a, previous acquaintance with his person, or fromhe fire of his eye, the shape of his face and person, so well corresponding to the descrip tion which he had received of him, the gentleman with whorn we have j conversed, was incompetent 10 in form us. Certajn it that Mr. P. suspected tl?e stranr who stood before him, with hjfs white hat slouched over Sis lace, and with all the habiliments Of a man so per fectly different from those in which he commonly appears, was the. very man whose name had rung tor st veral months from one corner ol the U. States to the other. It was A. Burfe Mr. Pi determined to nrrest him He repaired to Fort St'oddert on the IViobnV, and prevailed upon Lieut. Gaines (the comrnrmdant at shat.foftto accompany him with u small file of soldiers. In tie mean lim e, C ol Burr had se nt hack his . companion (by the name of Ashley) for some purpose Un known, and requested his hew companion, the sheriff, to shew him on the way to the Spanish line. On the road, they met the file of soldiers,' accompanied by Mr. Per kins and Lieut. Gaines. What, (says Col. Burr) do soldiers travel nerc In this atvle, on horseback V ' No, answered his companion. Col. Burr is said to have immedi ately dropt his bridle, and clasping his hands together, to have Uttered some ejaculation of vehement amo tion ; vVhat it was we cannot trust ourselves to descri'w Lieutenant Gaines advanced up to him, and interrogated him whether, be was not Col. Burr. The scene closed by Lieut. Gaines ominous words, You are my prisoner, Sir" An escort cf eight men accom panied Col. Burr from that quarter of the country on their way to Washington. They crossed at Cole?s ferry ; on Monday morn ing, between 11 and 12 o'cloik, they passed Prince Edward court house. On Wednesday evening, about 5 o'clock, they arrived m Fredericksburg. Here they met with a gentleman from Washing- trr ' rVrv vir iQ irtutritr't Art tt nrrlr them! to Richmond : and on last evenintr the statre conveved them to our city-Coli Burr and his es rort of 7 men. The gentleman who met them at Fredericksburg, hac arrnmnanifl tlim trlthia n-Arf. and bears a communication from the Executive to the U. States at torney for this district. The Colonel is to undergo an examination before r$ Chief j ustice Marshall. Several circumstances concur to recommend the choice ,.e.ur. ..,r TU litis illuuuaH i JIV.

States, and a man who ranked among men of the most ascendant talents in his count4 ' J - The crime likely to be aliedged against himk is the foulest and most atrocious that can possibly disgrace the inhabitant of a free country. It ts the crime of a traitors-It is the crime of a parricide inarms against his country, who haa laboured to excite a gallant people against the very best government that ever ex isted, who has plotted to destroy that great ark oFour political safety? our union in tact, One whpfeas w netted the poisoned daggerstof civil insurrection, to kVy war a gainst his country. In comparison with such a crime, what is murder ? What is the robber who clandes tintly empties my purse ; or the felon that boldly prowls upon the highway, and at the same blow deals robbery and murder i If, ha oe reallvvguilty of treason, what is A. Burr compared to Eugene A ram ? If uporfthi ground evei, he be acquitted, rhsspahinay still be indicted and tried by the) laws of the U.

The Virginia ? bar has generally been proriounceclby the Federal Judges themselveSfto btj the ablest in the U.
