Mr. Flay moved that they shculd be called into court, if neither the court ntfr the counsel of colonel Burr, had objections.—After the grand jury had entered, Mr. Hay proposed that as geneial Wilkinson could not be ex- pected from every cnlcohition he had made, sooner than ten or twelve days, that the g.anci jury be adjourned until about the 16th instant. He said the distance from this to New-Orleans was 1370 miles, and allowing gen. Wilkinson, to ride thirty miles per day, it would take 44 days to per- form the jeurnev. Mr. Wi'ckh; m. replied.—He said the last information Mr. Haj furnished|tliecourt, was from the secretary at war, who, stated gen. Wilkinson would be at Richmond between the 28th and 30th. He said that therefore the general might be expected daily if not hourly.—tilt. Day answered,, that ho sup- posed the secretary of war had made his calculations erroneously, open the supposi- tion that the message to Ne«-Orleans, had arrived sooner than it ac'ually did. Col. Burr rose and said, there were ma- ny inconveniences in the plan now propos- ed. Thie estimate of I he distance might be correct; but if the gentleman had stated with more precision the measures which the government took, the court might have been able to form a more correct opinion on the subject. tie supposed it was by no means certain, that general Wilkinson would prefer a land passage. The gentle- men of the grand jury lived at a great dis- tance, and he therefore thought there could be no impropriety of adjourning from day to day, as the general might hourly be ex- pected.—Luther Martin made some observa- tions to the same purpose, and remarked that a military character, such as general Wilkinson, could certainly never be con- fined on his march to thirty miles a day. Besides, the celerity of the motion of general Wilkinson, was notorious, and had long been the subject of admiration. He said he himself, ought to be at the court of appeals in Maryland next Monday ; but that it was not personal motives that induc- ed him to oppose the motion of the attorney, but a belief that general Wilkinson would certainly be here in a few days.—Mr. Hay and Mr. Wickham, said each a few words more upon the same business, and the court at length agreed, that the grand jury be ad- journed until next Tuesday at two in the alter noon. DEBATE On the motion (made on the 25th) to commit _ Colonel Burr—continued. Fran the Enquirer. Mr. Edmund Randolph addressed the court to the following effect : Sir, it would have been impossible for u», even had we received due notice of .this mo- tion, to have .availed ourselves of the time that was allowed to us. That would have bean impossible, because the enormity of the proposition itself Would have baffled all our consideration and all our researches. Mark the course, sir, which has been pursu-, ed towards my unfortunate client. First he was brought here under a military escort; Then that little folio of depositions and affi- davits was laid before your honor : Then the charge of treason ; and then that little cock-boat which was destined to attend this great ship on a foreign expedition ! You heard it all, sir, and what did you say ? You bound colcnel Burr to bail, simply on the charge of a misdemeanor, to appear here ;-.t the opening of the court ; bit not contented v.i.h this security, yon superadded, that he was not to leave the court until'it had dis- charged him. You opened iht oAot too for an uhetici'piQsecjtiou ; y&u declared, that if the 3tt*r-!\y f •¦ the United States i&tn.iM oh;:iin a Bi , thiejudgmenC which von then rendered, would not prevent hi5 indicting col. B. en the charge of tffa- s6n. Sir. thus stands the case, as it was tinder- Stood by the whole universe. Oo Friday we came here to meet the world ; Friday, liowevrr, parses aw oy and nothing is done. On Saturday, we c: 100 here again : Satur- day aiso passes away, and nothing is done. I'm* on Sunday, sir, is broached this new- fa igled doctrine, which nov excites our astonishment. They demand precedents, sir. for our conduct ; and who a-e they that require it ? Why, sir, they that take things out of the ordinary caurse of the law. For thirty years, I never saw such a proceeding —I have never read of such a one in tha English books; and yet these g.»utleir.-.-u call upon us for precedents. If we are asked for our rtasofi, sir, we should h..ve enough to oner. And ;" judge in the federal coun, sitting in the ca- ]>:c,!iy which your honor now fulfils, would be ih the same relation to the accused as arjt examining judge is in the state courts. sir, wdioever invited a single rran-istra'-.e or a state court to augment the bail oi vidurrl in the situation of col. Burr ? If a man be bound in a distant country to answer to a misdemeanor, and another crime was to be brought against him to be predicted on the very same evidence, rtave1 yon, sir, ever known the trying court to increase hi* bad ? There never was such an example* sir. Mr. Botts's "remark, sir is not to | swefed, You are changing thi onal organ of justice. Yon are completely blotting out the functions of a grand The witnesseswillall be pro.luce¦'. b but no, improper as thus proceeding will b?, it is still less so than that which thi y wii\ actually pursue : None of the United J 'witnesses will be brought before yon., bet thos.e whom they i to in- troduce ; and d'opeud upon it, tb; testimony will beg.u'o'ed for the ¦ court as irav be expected to bias thi '-¦' merit, Well, sir, wont will b - quenca ? When the grand jury v about to retire to their ctw" , they v, ;:1 be told that you ha-- 1 d idiiitioiv Are you tf.en, sir, to be a pioneer ol for the grand jury ? " outrageous, sir ? The boasted crihcipl? that no man is to be cond^med btr 1 verdict of 24 of hispoers, is ggnff. Through- out this town, it will be universally r< ed that ycu have solemnly declared Aarba Burr guilty of high treason against tt S. and some of those to whom tie- ri may extend may borer the petty jury. And wi'l they feel them- selves al y iurjudj Why, sir, let it I -: at once, that the grand jury is to be struck out as an in- termediate organ of ju Do not, I pray yo¦-, sir, let us suffer for- the delays an ore of otlle p I cannot blame the United State's attorney ; it is his business tool. ¦ o tiuiis of the governmi?;:"-, and if ire 1 " here,.it is certainly no •' siir< - ly there is time em m h to I ivi 1 frcni ! Orleans to this city in 17 days ; eve' the gigantic " bulk" of gen. VVd iason himself. Mr. Hay says nor tone is changed. An ' how, sir ? We demand a tri:d now. Wo demand a fair trial. But must w ¦ fore protest against a measure, wl Calculated to defeat- this obje'et. ? sir. You 'are calle i upon t prejudice.tbe minds of the grand jmy. Ret sir, in this interesting case, where liberty and 11C<» themselves are endangered, I trust that seme hard-mouthed precedents will be fund i'l opposition to this procedure. We hjv» come here to answer to every charge may be urged against us. We have come here to answer in a precedent'";1 and consti- tutional manner. But little did we expect, that the court would decide in the first in- stance, in stead of the grand jury ; thatths sentiments of the grand jury were to b? prejudiced by an unconstitutional decision ; and that the court itself was to commit its opinion on certain points, which would :- jailarly be brought before them lor ment and for decision at some of the ulte- rior stapes of the prosecution. " Why said Mr. Wirt do yon srtr.k." sir, trace the course of the prosecution, and see who it is that retires from the con- test. On Friday the U. S. attorney was not ready ; On Saturday he was not ready ; and now indeed hewili not probably be rc?t- dy before Monday next. Sir, who is it that shrinks ? And yet does the attorney positively aver that he has evidence enofigh. We are charged, sir, with addressing the multitude. Mr. Wirt says that he could, but would not, imitate the example. But neither he nor Mr. Hay have spared the theme. Sir, I will not deny thejnstm hiseulogiums upon the administration ; bet permit me only to remark, that there has been a certain conduct observed to1 col. B. which excites my deepest astonish- ment. When I look at the first n&ari of the government, I behold an individual whom I have long known, and whose nob- lie services have commanded my admiration. When I look at the second, sir, he has my whole heart. But, sir, the inquiry which is now before us relates not so much to the in- tention as to the effect. An order bai been given to treat ccl. B. as an outlaw, and to burn him and his property. And, sir, again, wheii the house of representatives demand- ed certain ii formation, as it was their tight and their duty to d", the president c;< it ; and would to G d, sir, that he had stopped here, as an 1 xc-cutive officer oupht to have done. He proceeded however, to say, that col. Bu;r was guilty of. a crime ; and consequently to express an opinion which was calcul 'te '. to operate judicially upon the judges rnd t! e juries. Such w.ifl the substratum ot all ihe censures, which have been heaped upo 1 col. Pie Mr. R. proceeded to touch upon s subject to vhich Mr. Hay had refer ••;! 'Col. Burr was arrested in the Missis '¦¦ oy— was there no court there ? Was there no udLe of integrity to try Lim I A
