COMMUNICATION.
Captain Whitby has been acquitted,' and
every day's Gazette presents u^ with some
pretended oi.tnnre of the British command-
ers. It is high time tin American peopie
were put Oil their g.iard a-pjinst these Genet-
like attempts to exasperate them against one
of the belligerent powers, for they ought all
to.be alike to us.
It is not in xsssary to a'arf our fingers ivith
the rusty •ti,orks ofVattclor Grotins, toprove
that either of the partus at war have a fight
to search, neutral vessels at sea ; nor can we
doubt that every captain has positive orders
to execute Lis duty in this respect. Very
little injury or inconvenience would happen
to the neutral aider, if the right was fairly
submitted to by ihe masters of our merchant
vessels ; and such of the owners as are not
inclined to bring the government into diffi-
culties or their country into contempt, would
do well to instruct the masters of their ves-
sels accordingly.
To explain myself further, and induce
them So to do, I will will relate two circum-
stances that occurred within my own know-
. during my former travels ; the last of
which", I think, will shew when a master
to heave to ; and the first, when it
may ba excusable to run away.
in i~99, I took my passage in an Ameri-
can schooner from St. Sebastians to New-
York : before we last sight of land, we were
chased by two or three small armed vessels,
which fketi sever;:! times at the schooner
wkhinskot, but did not strike her. A day
or two after, off cape Ortugal, We were dis-
covered by a huge vessel with British colors,
which proved to be a frigate, and which, af-
ter chasing us from morning to night, and
petting us nearly within reach of her shot,
fnvd to bring the schooner to. The master,
thinking it vain lo attempt to escape, then
determined to submit to be searched ; but
the next moment the frigate carried away
her forttapir.a-.t. anfi we made all sail and al-
tered our coune to get away. To our great
surprise raid irscrtiiication, the Englishman
had not lost sight of us ; and the next morn-
ing he was as near to us as he had been at
tl'.e cci_mencfcim:nt of the preceding day.
We therefore resigned ourselves to our ex-
petted, fate ; but the captain of the frigate,
having been probably put to more inconve-
nience than the loss of his foretopmast, by
being taken out of ids course, soon left us
to congratulate ourselves on the prospect of
an uninterrupted passage.
On our arrival at New-York, I found that
the vessel and cargo, which were worth
40,000 dollars, were under the direction of
other names than those contained in the pa-
pers, and the property^ at least doubtful ; so
that I was no longer sui prised at the temerity
of the master of the schooner, who in many
respects was a clever fellow, and really con
gratulated him and myself that we had not
been obliged to call at Cork or Plymouth.
In 1S0O, being about, to return from His-
paniola, I took my passage from Port-au-
Prince in a schooner belonging and bound
to Baltimore, We passed at anchor in Hene-
aga-'an armed ship, without being hailed. A-
bout half passage we were chased by a gun
brig under British colors, that overhauled
us very fast, and coming near, fired a gun ;
but our master, although he had nothing but
ballast, kept his course, and the brig passed
within pistol shot under his stern ; but the
captain, who, it must be allowed, was en-
dued with some forbearance, but with con-
tempt of us, contented himself with examin-
ing the name on the stern, which, fortunate-
ly for the owners and ourselves too perhaps,
could neither he silenced nor bote eff by our
hero of a ni.ast.-r.
To these I cannot omit adding, as long as
I have room, (and 1 hope you will find it, Mr.
Printer, a little-history) I.had from a gentle-
man who was once in office, and always will
be entitled to much more than common cre-
dence from his countrymen.
One of the consuls of the United States,
destined to the place of his appointment,
took his passage in an American vtssel,
which happened to be commanded by one of
those would-be sovereigns of the sea who
had scarcely learnt the use of his quadrant,
and who will tyrannize over k cabin boy, if
no other subject presents. They were bro't
to by an English ship of war, and the lieu-
tenant received such treatment as induced
him to take oif almost all our master's men,
out of revenge ; npon which the consul went
on board the ship, and representing, in a ge-
nerous, candid manner, the hardship there
would be in inflicting a punishment on him-
self and the owners for tbetindiscretion of
the roaster, the British officer sent him off
with every man, and the most polite good
wishes for a speedy passage.
Such, I apprehend, should be the conduct
of every person charged with the interest of
others ; and such, I am bold to say, would
be the issue, nine hundred and ninety-nine
times out of a thousand.
A Native American.
TP.IAL OF COL. BURIi.
[continued,]
TAKEN FOR THE FEDER AEGAZETTE
Monday, May 25.
Mr. Hay" replied.—He said, the whole
force of Mr. Bott's argument, went to prove
that the court had no power to commit dur-
ing the session of the grand jury.
1,11. Wickham answered. He observed he
would not even ask the time of the court
upon such a question. That no precedent
of the kind could be produced, while a grand
jury were in session—The evidence was to
he submitted to them, and not to the court.
He hoped, there fore, that the gentleman
would produce some precedent before the
court would agree to the extraordinary ap-
plication.
Mr. Hay said, that the fact was, that gen.
Wilkinson was known by every body to be
a very material witness—That it was neces-
sary the gtand jury should be adjourned,
and the business before them postponed un-
til his arrival, lint, that in the mean time,
he thought it was highly necessary to make
the proposed motion ; for general Wilkin-
son could not arrive without without it be-
ing publicly known in a few hours aftc;r-
wardsi That colonel Burr being well aware
of the importance of the general's testimo-
ny, might think it prudent to break his re-
cognizance. Ife'did not say colonel Burr
had this intention, or would do 30 ; but such
were the fe. lings of human nature, that it
was to be presumed possible every j-iidividual
placed in his utiitioii, would act so. That
it was to i'iivtat thisj and secure justice to
his country, he thcrgV it h cumbent to j
make the motion he did. That the question |
lor commitment on the charge of High Trea-
son was tried On a former occasion, but he
was not then furnished wtth the mass of
evidence which was now in his possession,
and which, he belfeved would appear folly
satisfactory to the court, to warrant his
coitimiiment. Ue therefore, requested pet-
mission to lay the evidence before them.
Mr. Wickham replied , he said the counsel
on the opposite side, had not yet properly
opened the case. That, as soon as they had
produced their authorities for the application
before the court, he should stale bis objecti-
ons.
Mr. Hay. The question is so self evident
I in itself that it,is unnecessary testate any
j precedent or authority whatever. It is one
! of those which has been invariably admitted
j and tminformly practised. It is notorious
that every magistrate ma}'commit, and it is
equally known that this court may do what
every magistrate has in his power. I shall,
therefore go on with the evidence.
Mr. Wickham presisted again it was
proper he should slate some aurliority as to
the propriety of his motion.
Mr. Hay said'he was perfectly contented
not to Say a single word more in support of
the propriety and legalhty of the motion.
Mr. Wickham contended that there was
I no precedent of the kind, and so far from
the practice being notorious, that this was
the first instance of which he ever had
heard.
Mr. Edmund Randolph observed, that the
power of the court to commit was not de-
nied ; but that the expediency of commit-
ting, while a grand jury were in session was
denied. That it was improper an inquiry,
which exclusively belonged to that body.
should be transferred to the court.
Air. Hay said it made no difference in law
whether the grand jury were in session or
not. That the grand jury being iu se
could not deprive the court of the power with
which they were vested. Let me state a
case said Mr. Hay, " Suppose that co-
lonel Burr in place of being brought
to Richmond at the period of his first
examination had only arrived this morn-
ing, W'll his counsel contend that the court
would not have thought it proper to have
committed him, in place of bringini
4 lestion immediately before the grand jury,
when the prosecutor was not furnished with
the necessary evidence !" This is precisely
the case at present. From additional evi-
dence that has come mto my possession
since his examination, it appears to me that
upon a disclosure of it before the court, they
will see proper that he should be committed
on the charge of treason ; but to complete
this evidence still more the testimony of
general Wilkinson it essential, and until bis
arrival it would be improper to submit-it to
the grand jury, although it is necessary, vor
t_e reasons which I have given, that it
should be submitted at present to the court.
Mr. Wickman said he should rt ly upon the
plain words of the law. He meant to sun
port his argument-on Hie grounds of law
and precedent. He observed, that in the
first place, the deposition of Gen. Wilkinson
was relied on as essential for establishing
the charge of treason against col. Burr. It
was unnecessary, hesaid, tQjremind the court
that this testimony at Ihe farcical examina-
tion which was held some weeks ago, was
deemed quite inadequate to substantiate the
charge of treason. That the same was .H>
the opinion delivered by the supreme court,
at Washington ; bat if the evidence of Gen.
Wilkinson was so material, why was he
not here. He remarked that Gen. Wilkin-
son was not to be regarded, or any other ci-
tizen or individual, but as an instrument of
the government, whom not only a subpoena
but a letter or order could have brought for-
ward. Was there any reason why he was
not here ? None that he heard; except the
unweildiness and bulk of this general officer
—but he would maintain, notwithstanding
his perhaps more than ordinary size, that lie
might easily have been in Richmond before
this time. What, therefore, would be the
tendency of this application ? The court
were not ignorant that uncommon attempts
have already been made to prejudice the pub-
lic mind. He did not charge the govern.
ment or their officers with these attempts ;
but nevertheless it was notorious such at-
tempts had been made. It was notorious that
daily effects were made through the medium
of the presses to influence the public mind.
Mr. Wickham asked if there was a single
solitary case to be met with in the books of
law, which sanctioned such an application.
He for his part knew of none. lie was cc r-
tain there was none. Col. Burr, he said,
was ready to gg trial, he wished for no de-
lay ; nor did he believe the counsel on the
other side wished for delay. He did not
attribute improper motives to them, but such
would be the elie* of their application if
granted. Prejudicated opinions would be
formed. The minds of the jury would pro-
bably be biassed by the floating rumor of
the day. Col. Burr, he said, was not afraid
to meet any charge the gentleman on the
other side might bring against him. Ik-
wished that the gentleman might immedi-
ately go into an investigation oi the charge,
and riot to nourish and keep alive the preju
dices already circulated. Ke hoped, there-
fore, that the motion would be rejected, and
that the court would stand between the in-
nocent and the pursuers.

BOSTON, May 27.
A letter from a person on board ship Ha-
milton, Porter, of Boston, dated N. W.
coast of America, Aug. 9, 1S06, says, " We
arrived 011 the coast, after a tedious passage
of 193 days, with the loss of the chief mate
and Carpenter, who died on board. Since
we have been on the coast we have lost
three men. The boats with five hands went
on shore at Mill Bank Sound to saw some
boards. The five men had no sooner landed,
than they were fired on by a party of na-
tives ; 2 of the men were shot di ad on the
spot—8 took to the water. 2 of wham were
saved, the ether, being wounded, perished.
The ship was immediately got tinder way.
We killed 6 or 8, and wounded a number of
the natives. I have been taken once by
them, but was treated well, and released al-
ter 24 hours imprisonment."

April, after a most severe cor_Kct. The
greatest difficulty was in landing the troripj
—and, when this was efuci.cd, they met
with most desperate rssist-avioe from the
Spaniards, who had barrocaded every avenue
with hides, and submitted only tolhe invin-
cible perseverance of the Eirflinli, who..
seems, were joim d by general Beresford,
who had escapr il froin the Spaniards.
" The Duke of Kent was the first ve-a-rol.
that sailed from England-, after the news
the capture of Buenos-Ayr-.5, and finding it
retaken, proceeded to the West-Irdies for a
a market. Left at Monte-Viedo 80 sail of
English ships, and 10 sail e? Americans, the
latter condemned for having Spanish proper-
ty on board. The ship American Eagle,
Kingj of taw-York, was one of the num-
ber,"
