.From fie Washington Federalist.
" A letter is received in this citv, dated
Richmond, 13th instant, by which it ap- j
pears that the eourt had that day given an I
opinion in the case of col. Burr, that may |
be said to have put an end to the proceed- !
in_;s tn this case. It goes to the exclusion !
of restimny, and of course to the acquittal
of Burr, on the charge against him for a
misdemeanor. The substance only of the
opinion which is given above, that no testi-
mony would be permitted to be adduced, is
given in the letter." C^'1'- ^nt^-~]
So much from the National Intelligen-
cer. What is the f.ict of the case ? That
the coart has excluded n¦» testimony but
that which could not apply to the charge
against Burr—no testimony that could in
la be admitted. This will be seen by the
opinion itself. The vile charge made a-
gainot the court, tba' no testimony •would be
permitted to be adduced, could be intended
to deceive only the m >st ignorant of the
pe pie of the country, for none others could
be duped into the belie! that the court had
prostituted itself to save Burr. It is to be
deplored as a real calamity to our country,
that tlie'govcrnment paper- in which nothing
mean or c mtemptible should find admission,
is capable of practising artifice like this.
But what other paper is so much distin-
guished lor such artifice ? Mr. Smith can-
not pxcuse himself from this charge of de-
ception, bv saying that his information was
erroneous. He had before him the Virgi-
nia Gaaelte, containing the opinion ; and
he has copied from it a paragraph which
immediately follows the rules laid down by
the eou.t for the admission of evidence.—-
The misrepresentation was therefore wilful.

In our paper of Monday last, we repub-
lished a le ter said to be an extract of one
from Boston, noticing some* particulars
\vh ch we ere then persuaded mete not
correctly stated, and which induced us to
make a note to that effect*
The letter to which we refer, and to vhich
•we must be lave to refer ur readers, will
be found in the third column of ur paper
of Mondiv last, and amongst other matter
contains the folio • ing :

tensions or the British to a restoration of
their deserters, upon principles of reciproci-
ty, it is said at Halifax to be an incontio.
to ; accordingly they proceeded to the ship,
and a search was ordered ; after some time,
the officer who made it, reported that the
Hien could not be found in the ship; Up-
on this the commandant told captain S. with
some earnestness, that lie was so well sa-
tisfied that the men were concealed -ither
in the ship, or in some of the warehouses,
which weic occupied for the ship's use, that
he w uld not depart without them. Ano-
ther search was then made, and in about
two hours the three men -were brought up from
the ship's hold, dressed in the uniform of the
artillery of the United States, in ivbieh they
hid been received on board.
Tne commandant denies that he ever en-
listed a man in British uniform, or that he
ever enlisted any man knowing him to be
a deserter. He denies that captain Stop-
ford rver made a demand of any deserters
from him, and he has the best reasons ta
believe that captain S. took away, three
other men who deserted from his garrison,
and in uniform.

cut, from Baltimore. Two sloops, of war
are constantly cruising in the Gut, and board

) *
vertible fact, that last winter, while the Cni
Chester British frigate lay at Norfolk, a guard
from the fort came alongside and demanded
three American deserters of capt. Stopford
who ordered his crew to be mustered, and
not finding the deserters, the Chichester was
thoroughly sear hed by c.ipt. Stoplord him-
self, the three men were all found below, and
then taken on sh ire by the guard to the fort.
After this happened, several of the Chiches-
ter's men, as many I think as five, deserted
from her. and were received at our rendez-
vous at Norfolk, dressed in the British uni-
form."
Ho* far this relation ought to be credit
ed, let the following statement nf facts (for
the accuracy of whieh we have authority
that we cannot doub1) shew.
About the 8th of Felruary last, the com-
mandant at Fort Nelson received such in
formation as did not permit him to doubt,
that three soldiers of his garrison which had
been advertised in the papers ¦ f this place,
were on board his Britannic majesty's ship
Chichester, capt. Stopford then tepairingat
a • harf, in that pait of Portsmouth called
Gosport—Upon which the commandant of
the fort dispatched an officer of his garrison
(a lieutenant) with his compliments to capt.
Stopford requesting him to deliver the three
men in question to the lieutenant, if they
¦were within his command. The lieutenant
relates, that he was met in the passage of
the house where captain Stoplord then
quartered, to whom he delivered his orders
from the commandant of the fort. At
first captain Stopford said he would give
the lieutenant permission to ssarch for
them, but presently stepping into an adjoin-
ing room, he called a boy, and in the hear-
ing ot the lieutenant, directed him to go
tloA-n to the ship, and tell the officer com-
manding n b aid, to have some men stnwed
aivtiy, which the lieutenant concluded wet*
the men he was in search of. The door
was then shut and a person who the lieut.
took to be an officer, retrained some time
with captain S. after which he came out,
and informed the lieutenant that three or
four volunteers had entered onboard his ship,
and that he should keep them. Having
nothiug more to say the lieutenant returned
to the fort, and made the report now stated
to the commandant.
The next morning the commandant cal-
led on the British consul, to whom he re-
lated the preceding circumstances, and
who with great politeness took up the sub-
ject : upon which he addressed a letter to
captain Stopford, requesting him to deliver
up the men if on board. The command-
ant then went to Gosport, taking with him
a sergeant and six armed men to prevent
the deserters from escaping by land ; having
placed them a' the different avenues leading
from the ship, he went to captain Stopford,
and delivered him the consul's letter. Ha-
ving perused it, he said that thres or four
volunteers had entered with him, and that
if,they belonged to the service of the Unit-
ed States he would deliver them up, and
• that orders should be given that they should
be sought for, and brought to his quarters.
Nearly half an hour having elapsed, and no
orders being issued, the commandant pro-
posed to go to the ship, which was agreed
