^^^^^ MESSAGE.
Gentlemen of the legislative, council,
¦f tlie house of rcjtreseatativen,
WE have been officially informed that
the " reputed la^'.-er of the conspiracy,''
which has menaced our safety, and disturb-
ed our tranquility, was " in the hands of
the civil authority at Natchez," and it is
no-.'.' confidently reported, (although no of-
ficial into, imuion upon the suhject has been
received by me) that many of his adherents
have also arrived in the Mississippi Territo-
ry. Among them are two individuals, who
at" vade'd by flight from
the state of Ohio, that punishment which
the law io justice and in mercy, would have
aw or : v them.
One of these persons I have most satis-
factory information for stating, did, in Sep-
tember last, propose to a citizen in whose ve-
raci'y entire confidence may be placed, " to
r. In a plan to bring about a dissolution
joi
out the
of the union ; and after pointing
advantages which would result to leading
men, from the erection of a separate govern-
ment on this side the mountains, and ob-
serving that the people were, ripe for such a
measure, he said their plan would be to go
on with an armed force to New-Orleans,
io sc'rsc that place, and after getting the
my In the banks, the military stores, and the
French artillery there, to force the country
to a separation from the Atlantic states, by
operating on its commerce. In charily to
human nature, I cannot suppose that all
concerned in the conspiracy were prepared
to support objects so horrible. On the con-
trary, I am persuaded many have been se-
duced into the, association by artifice and
misrepresentation ; and to all such 1 trust
a genetotu forgiveness may be extended.
I cannot, however, disguise Ironi the two
houses of assembly, ho \ greatly I regret
that the existing la-vg do not afford adequate
means for the prevention of conspiracies of
this diabolical nature, for the discovery of
the parties concerned, and for their punish-
ment. I have recently been advised (and
from a source entitled to credit) of the ap-
proach to this city of an agent of the con-
spirators ; 1 am informed of his name, and
the route he takes, awd have but little doubt
as to the object of his mission. And yet
I believe it is n t in my power to adduce
such proof as would justify a civil magistrate
ill committing him to prison. And should
I arrest him upon my own authority, a writ
o! he,l>cas corpus would most probably rescue
him from my possession, and he might then
enabled to fulfil the treasonable duty with
he may be charged.

WASHINGTON CITY, March 30.
Louis Pormon, Esq. is appointed com-
mercial agent for the island of Gnadaloupe.
We have received no authentic informa-
tion of the particular circumstances attend-
ing the arrest of col. Burr. It is however
rumored that he was apprehended by a plain
countryman, who had not even heard of
governor Williams's proclamation, and who,
with a number of his neighbors, undertook
to escort him to the seat of government.
Information from fort Massac, dated Jan.
24, 1807, states the arrest and examination.
of two boats, which were bound up the
.Mississippi to St. Genevieve for lead. It
appears that they were each to bring two
loads to the mouth of Cash river, 30 miles
below fort Massac, there to be put on board 1
an Orleans flat, and sent down tiie river.
Two of the witnesses declared that they un-
derstood the lead was for the public. The
testimony was considered too vague for a
pvosecuti 'ii; but as the owner of the boats
FOR THE FEDERAL ____________________
THE TABLET.
"We propose, in a paper, to be entitled
3Mie VTabletj to bring to the thinking part of
the American people, a Kw truths, for their
consideration and reflection.
Those who live under a republican form
of government, are the people in the world
the most exposed to flattery, and on whom
it is likely to produce the most disastrous
effects. We do not intend to flatter them,
nor " set down aught in malice."
Flattery is the great instrument by which
demagogues in republics haste risen to pow-
er, and destroyed liberty. In this country,
the people have already been taught to con-
sider themselves as fhe most enlightened in the
•world : If they would preserve their liberty,
it is time they should distrust those who tell
them so, and seriously set about an inquiry
into the truth of this assertion.
From whence have we obtained our su-
perior knowledge ? From our newspapers ?
Alas ! in point of useful information, these
I are far behind the newspapers published in
(England, Germany, or France. From our
essays"? How few, if any of them, can pre-
tend to enter into comparison with those
elegant specimens which almost daily issue
from the European presses. Are our di-
vines more learned or more eloquent than
those of France, Germany or England ?
Are our lawyers mere profound than those
of Great-Britain ? Are our Statesmen supe-
rior in mental qualities, or acquired know-
ledge, to th/ise statesmen to which almost
every nation in Europe has given birth ?
Are our day-laborers belter educated in
this country ? In many parts of Germany,
the very peasant, besidss his native tongue,
can converse fluently in Latin. Do our
artists and manufacturers here, exhibit great-
er powers of contrivance or genius, than the

to a considerable amount were in the she-
riff's han$s, the sheriff immediately levied
on the property, and the ciew abandoned
