We mentioned in yesterday's paper, that
Dr. Bollman hud applied for an habeas cor-
pus, and that he was ordered by judge Bee
to appear before him at II o'clock yester-
day. The deputy marshal went down to
Fort Johnson for the purpose of bringing
the Doctor up to town ; but the command-
ing o'ricer, captain Kalteisen, did not feel
himself authorised to surrender him up to
the civil authority without the orders of his
military superior. We were politely favor-
ed with the perusal of general Wilkinson's
orders to him upon that subject; they are
explicit, and positive, directing him " to
have him (Dr. B.) in safe keeping until the
pleasure of the president shall be known ;
that he is to have no communication with
any person but a commissioned officer ; to
be comfortably provided for" &c. The pa-
triotism of the veteran commandant and his
respect for our laws is well known to the
citizens of this state ; but while he would
cheerfully unsheath his sword to crush the
Hydra of treason and rebellion, he never-
theless as a military man, feels himself oblig-
ed, by his duty, to obey the orders of the
commander in chief.

Extract from Mr. Daniel's Speech in the
Virginia Senate, against ths resolution
for addressing the president, &e.
{This resolution tvas rejected—15 to e.)
" Those who are so anxious to shield the
administration against the consequences of
a dissent which some give to these particu-
lar measures, should in my judgement be
careful to distinguish the acts of the ad-
ministration from this policy which should
be set down to the n«ajority of Congress.
The executive announces to the nation that
its territory is violated ; its citizens seized ;
its property plundered ; that all hopes of
peaceful and honorable retribution are van-
ished, and that force to a certain extent has
become necessary. And the representatives
ot the people vote money to pay the plun-
derer to withhojd his aggressions ! Is this
a " firm, just, and liberal policy" ? Will
it not justify the opinion that foreign na-
tions are said to have, " that the people of
the U. S. will not protect their rights by
force ? Will it not give credit to the theo-
ry of that French counsellor, who, in re-
commending to his government a project for
colonizing Louisiana, removes the obstacles
which the interest of the United States
would probably interpose, by saying these
people ivdl not fight—they •will send ycu mi-
nisters extraordinary ; and •while they are
•waiting on negotiations, -we shall have seized
the country."
But gentlemen jsay the secret message of
the president gives a different aspect to this
affair. Indeed I cannot perceive it. This
message* such as we see it published, speaks
a language still stronger than the public
message, upon which the general assembly
acted and pledged themselves to the opinion
which they now wi»h to censure. Speaking
of the affairs of Spain it says—" they autho-
rise the inferrenee that It is their (the Spani-
ards') intention to advance on our possessi-
ons until they shall be repressed by an op-
posing force—Formal war is not necessary
—but the protection of our citizens, the spi-
rit and honor of our country require that
force should be interposed irt, a certain de-
gree. If I am able to unde-'tand the lan-
guage of the message, the president would
appear to be on the side of rile minority.
He does "no where recommend the measures
that were adopted.—Spain is the only coun-
try against which he recommends an oppos-
ing force, while he deems it probable that
our differences with England may be ami-
cably adjusted. Yet measures of warlike
tendency a-.e adopted towards England,
and for Spain the dollars are rttised instead of
an opposing force. And yet gentlemen will
have this to be a firm just and liberal policy!
Has it bettered our situation ? It is
true our prospects witk England are
somewhat changed, not by you partial
non-intercourse measures, but by a change
of ministers there ; and other changes
in Europe. With Spain, has your ten-
der 1 f dollars produced the desired effect ?
No j prospects in that quarter are still gloo-
my. Are you certain that the measures
proposed by the minority might not have
had a better effect ? Offer all things for a
peaceful adjustment which honor and jus-
tjee could demand or allow, and hold the
sword ready to assert and maintain your
rights, if withheld. I fear it will come to
this at last, and we shall have lost a favora-
ble time.
" What is the conduct of Spain ? It is not
affected by your disposition to do justice ;
but by the disposition of affairs elswhere.
When France, who is in relation to this
subject said to stand in the back ground,
had humbled her enemies by the battle of
Marengo, Spain advances upon you with
proud pretensions—a new coalition in Eu-
rope abates her demands. The battle of
Ansterlitz pushes her forward over the Sa-
bine—anothercoalition against France drives
her behind that river, which she is willing
to assume as a temporary boundary. The
battle of Jena is fought, and her respect for
this territory is destroyed. We must come
at last to the point—I fear the policy of the
minority will prove to be right. Are you
desirous to censure men for proposing mea-
sures the last winter,- which will now, in
all probability, be-wholly adopted, as we see
they are in part ? I am not ready to censure
these men, even if the measures which they
espoused were clearly established not to have
been the best; nor shall I centure those mea-
sures which were adopted, although events
should prove them to be the worst. I am
willing to believe that gentlemen advocated
those measures which they believed the po-
licy of the times demanded. I will not,
with the very limited information that I
have on the subject, erect inysalf into a
censor on either side.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursdey, January 22.
[Taken for the FEDERAL GAZETTE.]
Mr. Lewis presented a petition from sun-
dry inhabitants of Alexandria, praying con-
gress to incorporate a company for making
a turnpike road from Alexandria to Wash-
ington, which was referred to a select com-
mittee.
A message was received from the senate,
informing the house, that they had passed
an act for altering the time of holding the
circuit courts in North-Carolina. Head
twice, and referred to a committee of the
whole.
Air. Randolph, from the committee of
wa3's and means, reported a bill for the relief
of the sufferers by fir» in the town of Ports-
mouth, (N. H.) which was referred to a
committee of the whole to-morrow.
Mr. J. Clay presented a petition from a
person stating that he had discovered a plan
for the encouragement of manufactures'
which, he observed, was a very exttaordina-
ry one. Referred to the committee of com-
merce and manufactures.
On motion of Mr. Dana, Resolved, That
the secretary of the treasury be directed to
lay before this house copies of accounts
containing the respective charges which
have been adjusted by the accounting offi-
cers of the treasury, in cases of public pro-
secutions before the circuit court of the
United States, holden in Connecticut, previ-
ous to the 1st of July, 1806.
Mr. Varnum, from the committee appoint-
ed on the subject, presented a bill providing
for the payment of the expences incurred
by the military preparations for the defence
of the territory of Michigan, during the
year 1806. Read twice, and referred to a
committee of the whole to-morrow.
The house resolved itself into a commit-
tee of r|js whole on the report of the com-
mittee pJRwfcorn was referred a resolution
directingjthem to inquire what description
of clairrjB .'are barred by the statute of limit-
ation, yvhjch in reason and justice ought
to be provided for by law. The report re
commends, that all just and equitable claims
against the United States, which are now
barret,' by the statute of limitation, ought to
be provided for. .
Mr. Staunton hoped the house would con-
cur in the report of the committee. He
proceeded to make a few observations in fa-
vor of the report, which excited considera-
ble mirth ; but he spoke in so low a tone,
that he could not be distinctly heard. He
observed, that if he had a command of ta-
lents, he could dwell largely on this subject.
He thought that the best way to prevent
conspiracies against the government, was,
by rewarding those who had fought in sup-
port of it4$ tie well recollected, that two or
three sessions ago, on the subject of the
unheard-of fraud of the legislature of Geor-
gia, talents equal to those of Cicero and
Demosthenes, had been displayed by mem-
bers of the house, particut'arty by Mr. Ran-
dolph ! [The chairman, (Mr. Varnum) in-
formed him that the rules of the house did
.not permit any member to be called by
name.] Mr. Staunton asked pardon, and
was about to proceed, when Mr. Cook de-
clared that he could not hear the gentleman
—Mr. S. said a few words, and sat down.
[COLONEL BURR & Co.]
A communication, in writing, was re-
ceived from the president of the United
States ; and, on motion of Mr. Randolph,
the committee of the whole rose, for the
purpose of having the communication read.
The president's message was then read. It
is long and interesting. Great anxiety and
attention prevailed in the house while the
clerk was reading it. It details the informa-
tion possessed by the executive, respecting
the conspiracy in the western parts of the
union, and the manner in which the infor-
mation was obtained, and openly denoun-
ces AARON KURR as the leader of the
conspiracy. It mentions, that inconsequence
of this information, orders were sent to
general Wilkinson, on the 8th November, to
hasten an accommodation with the Spanish
commandant on the Sabine, in order to make
preparations for resisting the enterprize—
That on the 25th November, a letter had
been received from general Wilkinson,
stating'that he (Wilkinson) had received a
letter from Burr, written partly in cyphers,
the object of which was, to induce the ge-
neral and the array under his command, to
engage in'the nefarious enterprize—that the
real objects of the conspiracy were, to effect
a separedieii of the union westward of Jj^
Allegany mountains, and an attack on Mex-
ico ; but that the ostensible object was, to
settle certain lands belonging to a baron Bas-
trop—that all this information.had been re-
ceived by the latter end of November—that
a certificate had been received from general
Wilkinson, containing a developement of
the plot—that little apprehensions need be
entertained from any attack on N. Orleans
—and, that there did not appear to beany
foundation for the report that the conspira- I
tors were to be aided by a foreign force.
The certificate and letter of general Wil-
kinson, referred to in the message, was then
read. They mention, that he had caused
three persons, principally concerned, to be
arrested ; one of whom (doctor Bollman) had
been sent to Charleston in the vessel which
carried the dispatch ; another (Swartwout)
would be sent to Baltimore in the course of a
few days ; and the other (Ogden) would be
sent as soon as possible—that the proofs of
guilt would be sent on with each—that they
had been sent separately, for the purpose of
preventing any communication or concert
between them. The certificate states, " on
the honor of a soldier and the holy evange-
lists of Almighty God," the offer made by
Burr to general Wilkinson—it also includes
a copy of Burr's letter, as the general under-
stood it : this letter is expressed in very
vague terms ; the deciphering of general
Wilkinson, however, renders it sufficiently
intelligible : it says, " Wilkinson shall be
second to Burr only,"and authorises geneial
W. to " draw on Burr to any amount :'' it
declares that Mr. T. has gone to Jamaica to
make arrangements with the English admi-
ral—that the navy of the U. States is ready
—that it is a field for "choice spirits''--and
that the " best blood of the nation" is engag-
ed to support the cause, &c.
The house ordered ttoo thousand copies of
the message and documents to be printed.
The house went into a "committee of the
whole on the bill extending the power of
granting writs of injunction to the judges of
the district courts of the U. States. One
amendment was made, when the committee
rose, reported the bill with the amendment,
and it was referred to a committee of the
whole.
The house went into a committee of the
whole, on the resolution for carrying into
effect the treaty between the U. States and
the Chicka?aw tribe of Indians. The com-
mittee agreed to the resolution, in which the
house concurred, and the resolution was re-
ferred to the committee of ways and means
for the purpose of framing a bill.
The house went into a committee of the
whole on the report of the committee of com-
merce and manufactures on the petition of
sundry sugar refiners of Philadelphia & Bal-
timore. The repjrt is unfavorable to tlif pe-
titioners.
Mr. M'Creery spoke against the report, &
moved that the committee rise, report pro-
gress, and ask leave to sit again, for the pur-
pose of gaining further information. Car-
ried.
The committee of the-ivhole rose, but was
refused leave to sit again, and the house con-
curred in the report of"the committee of
commerce and manufactures.
