WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. 20.
Extract of a letter fiom Cowles Mead, se-
cretary and acting governor of the Mis-
sissippi Territory, to the department of
war, dated
Washington (M. T.) January 19.
Sir,
In obedience to your instructions by ex-
press of 20th Dec. last, I immediately, after
prorogueing the legislature, proceeded to
put the territory in a state of preparation
for the arreslation of the suspicious persons
and boats, which were contemplated there-
in ; my militia were collecting at paiticular
points on the river, when I received a letter
from col. Burr, who had landed at Bayou
Pierre, with nine boats and 100 men.—
This letter went to an avowal of his inno-
cence of the charges,, which rumor and
public apprehension had announced sgainsl
him, and solicited me to appease the fears
which his approach had begotten ; at, the
same time he guarded me against the horrors
of civil v»ar, and the evils resulting from
such a state of things : this seeming threat
induced me to adopt a different mode of
condtct from what the colonel might have
expected; and instead of adopting his pa-
cific admonition, 1 ordered a very large por-
tion of the militia of the territory to rendez-
vous-at certain points, and wait further or-
ders. With the promptitude of Spartans,
our fellow-citizens shouldered their firelocks,
and in twenty-tour hours, 1 had the honor
to review 375 men at Natchez, prepared to
defend their country. They were ordered,
under the coiiimoud ~i[ col. Claiborne, to a
point on the river about 21 miles above the
cily, there to remain to guard the river, and
intercept, for inspection, all boats that
might descend the river.
On the iOth 1 dispatched two of my aids
to col. Burr, who had tendered his respect
to the civil authority—these gentlemen en-
gaged to give the colonel an interview in
the neighborhood of the detachment stati-
oned at the mouth of Cole's creek. Con-
formably thereto, I met the colonel on the
17th, and after a lengthy interviaw, he of-
fered to surrender himself to the civil autho-
rity of the territory, and to suffer his boats
to be se£i'ch.&d.. On the loth, gol. Bun,
accomnunied by my ails, main.-. Bltiejai
1 . l f oimli-x'.er, '.ode dovrn to tec p.ace,
and was committed to tha highest tribttnivJ
of the civil authority, where be now remains
for 'rial.
Four gentlemen of unquestionable re.:,
pecubility, with a detachment of ;.e ¦
are now in the act 01 making L1 >c- search
of the boats, andto-nioiiow I expect their
report.
Tims sir, this mighty alarm, with ill its
exaggerations, has eventuated in'nine buits
and 100 men, and the major part of fl-
are boys, or young men just from school.
Many of thL-ss depositions have been tab
before judge Rodney, hut they bespeak
norance of the vie.is or designs oi the, co-
lonel. I believe them realiy ignorant arid
deluded. 1 believe they aie ttie dupes of
stratagem, it the asseverations 01 ;v;iei,w»
Eaton and Wilkiitsoiu are to be credited.
Extract of a letter from Col. herdinand h»
Kaiborne to his friend in this city.
NarCHSi, January 20.
Dear sir,
1 returned yesterday from an expedition
up the river, with five hundred aw] fifty
men drawn from this and Jefferson county,
and destined to meet colonel Burr, who
with a considerable body 01 men was en-
camped at the Biyou Pierre. When in-
formed of my approach and orders, by ma-
jor Shjels, aid de camp to the governor, he
surrendered himself and party prisoners-—
they had been turned over by the execuliiwl
to the civil authority of the country. What
the issue will be, oMphen he will be tried,
is uncertain. His arms and military stores,
I expect, were taken possession of on yes-
terday, by a detachment from my comuvand.
Our country-is full of those adventurers—¦
Our commerce destined, and the two terri-
tories in complete confusion.
SUPREME COURT oftiie U. STATES.
On Wednesday Mr. Martin, iu a speech
of four hours and a half, concluded the ar-
gument on the motion in the case of Mes-
srs Bollman and Saartwout.
On Thursday the chief justice observed
that the court had had the motion made,
in the case of Messrs. Bollman and Swart-
wout under consideration, but had not yet
been able to make up a decisive opinion.
Iu the mean time, as the situation of the
prisoners might be irksome to them, if
they could hue bail, they might be bailed,
until to-morrow.
The counsel of Messrs, Bollman and
Swartwout observed that one day's addition-
al confinement would not make any mate-
Dial difference.
The court added that they felt considera-
ble difficulty with regard to the admissibili-
ty of the affidavit of general Wilkinson—
whethfic a person making an affidavit that a
particular paper contained the - of
an origninal paper in his hand, such affida-
vit was in such a case as the present was,
admissible evidence. They had not been
abe to find any authorities on this point
They therefore invited the researches of
counsel into it.
Messrs. Rodney and Martin said they
w o, id deem it their duty under this request,
to submit to the court such precedents as
they could find upon the subject.

fallen back, between tuay and seventy

up their reintbrc-ment.-, that . ¦li-
