wards ? A. It was increased before we got
to Coles's creek. Q. What was the total
amount of the party ¦ A. There were about
IJO at Coles's cveek. Q. Was there any
application to yon to join them ? A. Mr.
Biannerhassett applied to me. Q_ In what
manner ? A. He asked me to go along with
him ; but I said I did n t wish to go with-
out knowing where they, were going. He
was at me two or three times. He said
that many men were going without know,
ing any m re than I did. I told him I had
very little in -the world, but that I did not
wish to leave it in that way.
Mr. Burr here interrupted the examinati-
on. He observed t'-.at the counsel for the
prosecution were b und to prove the overt
act first ; that there was no impropriety in
producing circumstances explanatory of the
overt act ; but how could these conversati-
ons between other persons, and held in his
absence contribute to establish this act or
how e mid they affect him ; Mr. Hay con-
tended that these circumstances tjight con-
tribute to show the intentions of the patty
and the character of the enterprize. The
Chef Justice considered this as admissible
testimony. If the counsel for the prosecuti-
on charge a military assemblage at the mouth
of Cumberland, they were at liberty to
produce every circumstance explanatory of
the nature of that assemblage. He consi-
dered conversations among the men them-
selves at the mouth of Cumberland, as ad-
«ii«sable, because they contributed to show
the nature of the expedition ; and why
should not conversations that were after-
wards hcd he as explanatory as those which
-were there maintained ? The charge too,
was not confined to the month ot that river,
but was extended to any place below thai,
which was in the limits of the United
States. It is then immaterial where these
conversations passed, because they make a
pr.rtof the transactions at the places actually
charged. Mr. Botts objected that these
c nvcrsations were not held within the
United States, because the jurisdiction of
Mississippi had never extended beyond the
margin of the Mississippi. Some conversati-
on here envied, when Mr. McDowell was
dismissed, and K'Uliatn Love (the quondam
groom of Biannerhassett) was called into
court.—
DUBLIN. July 27.
" On Saturday night the garrison of
Dublin was under arms, large patroles sent
out, and every precaution taken that (Jie ap-
prehensions of public disturbance upon a
lane scale, might be supposed to suggest.
The garrison had been lately weakened by
the embarkation of two regiments of the
line for England (the 7th and 8th,) and,
with the exception of the 5th garrison bat-
talion, was composed of militia regiments,
at the time of the expected riot. However,
the whole force, inadequate as it was to con-
tinue the heavy details of duty that the gar-
rison requires, were ready for any exertions
circumstances might render necessary. The
Serjeant posted at Harold's Cross (the prin-
cipal entrance to the city, and the road from
the counties of Wicklow and Wexford,) re-
ported that during the day he had remarked
a considerable number, to the amount of
upwards of a thousand, of couity looking
who had passed the po4>t on their way to the
city ; and several other persons whose vigil-
ant eye detected those appearances, which
if they had been credited might have pre-
•vented the misfortunes of the 23d July,
1803. communicated their suspicions to go-
vernment, that s me mischief was impen-
ding. The discretion of not mentioning
names is too obvious to be appologized for.
However, the night passed over without a-
ny circumstance occurring in the smallest
degree to countenance the reports that were
made. Government without altering the
mild tenor of its conduct, is prepared to
use a strong hand.

I was very agreeably surprised at swing the
name of the venerable Jesse Haltiiigmvorth
announced, with an asi&ralice that he vvoulo
Serve this city in the next general assembly,
ii' elected. II ti I uo other inducement f>
give him my suffrage than the known in-
tegrity and uprightness of his heart, added
to his correct knowledge of the interest of
the state, and local interest of Baltimore in
particular, he should have it most willingly
—But when I remember the man, who at
the risque of his life and fortune, saved ma-
ny poor American prisoners from starving in
the prisons of Philadelphia, during the re-
volutionary war, by supplying Aem with
bread, I should consider myself as wanting
the most noble feelings of a freeman, if I
did not give him my vote and interest.

INTERESTING LETTER
From Mr. Merry, late minister from the
r/ourt of Great-Britain to the United
States received at New-York.
Ctarges street, (London) Aug. 11, 1807.
] have been favored with your letter, to
which I have deferred replying, in the dai-
ly expectation, that some official accounts
from'America would have enabled his ma-
jesty's government to have determined upon
the line of conduct that it may ultimately
appear expedient to pursue in the ciitical
stale of our relations with that country.
For a definition.of the manner in which
the question stands at this moment, and
will remain until official information be
received respecting the pretensions of the
American government towards an adjust-
ment of the complaint on their part, occa-
sioned by the affair between his majesty's
ship Leopard, and the Chesapeake frigate, I
cannot do better than refer you to the ex-
planation given last night by Mr. Canning,
ia tile house of commons. To that state-
ment, however, it may be satisfactory _I
should add, that, as government have, in
their explanations with the American minis-
ter here, disavowed the principle upon
which admiral Berkley has acted, and re-
plied him in consequence of the orders he
issu. d, there, is great room to hope that this
will be settled in an amicable manner.
A comet was discovered on Saturday
evening- last, and has since been observed by
- iany of the inhabitants of this city. It is
visible to the naked eye. About seven
ck yesterday evening it was observed in
lion nearly west. From its slow pro-
Sress; there is a probability of its remain.
hie Visible tor several ensuing evenings.
