The President of the United States yes- terday left this City on a short visit to M011- ticello. The following extract of a letter received from Lieut. Gaines, dated, hart Stoddert, I'ebruary 22, 1807, furnishes some inte- resting circumstances relative to the arrest of col. Burr. " Early in the morning of the 19th of the present month I was advised by major Perkins, that a man, whom he supposed to be col. Burr, had passed through the up- per end of of this settlement the preceding evening ; whereupon I immediately set out with a s_rjeant and three privates of my detachment ; & after reconoitering with maj. Perkins about 14 miles up the country, met w\i col. Burr, & escorted him to this place. My apprehensions relative to the Spaniards were strengthened by the arrival of a Spa- nish officer, who commands one of the armed vessels at Mobille (whose name I can- not recollect). He dined with me yester- day, and made request through his interpre- ter, to be permitted to see col. Burr, who, he said, he understood was in the fort. I promised to see the c.donel, and then give him an answer. I went to the colonel's room, and informed him that the Spanish officer wished to see him. He immediate- ly shewed me a paper he had just written, in which he requeued me to introduce him to the Spanish officer, adding that he was anxious to send to his friend Moralles for a few necessaries. I observed that perhaps it was nothing more than idle curiosity that prompted the Spanish officer to wish to see him, and I could not, under present cir- cumstances, adm;t an interview. I return- ed, and informed the Spanish officer, through his interpreter, that, as c 1. Bun- was a citizen of the United States and in confinement for an offence against the laws thereof, I could not permit an officer of a neighboring government toseehii:;, especi- ally as I presumed they could have no sort of business with each other. The > fficer immediately set out in a small boat for Mobil- le. This circumstance, together with a communication, made by a Mr. Ashley, ¦ ho accompanied col. Burr to this country to one of our citizens, has induced me to adopt a measure, which had before strongly presented itself as indespeusible, to send him direct to the seat of government. [See Note 1.] " I regret exiremely that Lshotild have been compelled to take any measure in rela- tion to the disposal of the prisoner with- out instructions trom my sur^qors; nor wculd I have hazarded this step, but from the fullest belief that I could not keep him secure at this place much longer; nor could I have sent him with saftety to Natchez, from whencehis associates are nodoubtmov- ing towards this place. But in addition to these causes, I have to combat an. enemy, that might prove more formidable, and much more unpleasant than, either. I have learnt from a soldier, whom I have usually found to be a man of truth, that the colonel had made overtures to two centinels (who were at different times on duty at his door) for his liberation, and had made offers of cash. My informant, John Brown, a taylor, had been doing some work for the colonel, who finding he could speak French, and after some conversation with him in that lan- guage, and sounding him as he believed, on the subject of a bribe, inquired whether the two centinels aforesaid could be depended on. Such is my situation, that should any attempts be made either within or without the fort to rescue the prisoner before his departure, the measures which I feel bound to take will be of a much more serious na- ture than his removal to Washington. " I have committed the prisoner to the charge of major R. Perkins, to whose ac- tivity and patriotism the public are indebted for the seizure of this extraordinary man. The major has selected a party of active and respectable men, [_See Note 2.] to' assist him on the route, and he will also be ac companied by sergeant Harris and Cyrus Jones, who v> ere with me when 1 took the prisoner, and who are amongst the most confidential men of my detachment." Tiiere was another circumstance, which probably operated strongly on the. mind of lieut. Gaines, and which is stated on the authority of major Perkins. Information was received in conversation with a Spanish officer, that col. Burr was generally expected at the town of Mobile by the officers there, where also it was reported that Moralles then was. This, together with the immediate departure of the officer from Fort Stoddart, on finding an interview with Mr. Burr un- attainable, probably led lieut. Gaines to be- lieve that a rescue might be attempted. To these circumstances it is proper to add, that col. Burr was treated during the journey with the greatest attention and tenderness. From the beginning to the end of it he was supplied with tea, coffee, wine and brandy, of some of which articles he had even a por- tion left on his arrival at Richmond ; and al- though the party were for two or three days destitute of a sufficient supply of provisions, Mr. Burr had allotted to him the usual quan- tity. Until the attempt made by him to get out of the power of the escort, he was per- mitted to wear his pistols and a large knife. After this attempt, he was deprived of the former. Note 1. The communication here referred $o, we understand to he this; While Ashley was in the company of the sheriff, he said he was well acquainted with the objects col. Burr had ia view, and among other things stated, that it was his intention to go into the Floridas. On subsequent inquirn ; of hi,n by others, he professed total igno- rance of die views of col. Burr, and said that he had accidentally fallen in with him. This Ashley is a character of some celebri- ty. He is reputed to be a man of talents, possesses considerable property, and was with No land in the Spanish country when he fell. Note >2. The escort was composed of the most respectable men in the country, some of them possessed of very considerable pro- perty, and others much distinguished in their districts. FEDERAL GAZETTE, THURSDAY, APRIL 9. The following is a copy of a letter, re- ceived at Charleston from captain Etsworth, of the brig Joseph, belonging to that port. At sea, March 81, 1807, -whilst 25 miles off Charleston. " This will inform you that I am captur- ed by the British sloop of war Indian, and am ordered to Bermuda, for adjudication ; for what reason I do not know, as my pa- pers are in good order and with proper cer- tificates of the property. You will let my owners know that rhere is nothing deficient in my papers. Midnight, on board the sloop of war Indian. 1 T. ELSWORTH. From the New Orleans Gazette of March 6, received at Neio-York by the brig Mary. On Monday last, before the district court of the United States in this city, came on the trial of colonel Lewis Kerr, on a charge of having " set on foot an expedition against the Spanish possessions iu America." The trial 'asted two days, and the jury, after a retirement of only a few minutes, returned with a verdict of not guilty. The cause had been tried about a fortnight ago, in the same court, and lasted five days. But the jury could not agree, and after having re- mained out for four days more, were dis- charged by the court, and a new jury was called. The last trial did not occupy so much time as the former, on account of an agreement between the parties to submit the cause to the jury on the evidence, without any remarks of counsel on either side.
