.BUR.R. AND BLANNERHA.SSE'I‘T.
Much has been said and written on the
conspiracy of Aaron Burr, and a diversity of
opinion still exists, as to the extent of his
designs. The elegant retirenient of Blan-
nerliassctt, _nrr-viouls to his association with
Barr, has also been a theme of eloquence
and subject ofadtniration. As I lived near
the centre of Burr’s operations, and was inti-
mate with the family of I3ltIIIIl8l'l'lflSSt.‘l.l, many
facts came under my oltsertition ‘which per-
haps are not generally known. I therefore
comply with your request, by detailing cir-
cumstances which were familiar to meat
that period.
With reference to Btirr’s conspiracy, I
have never doubted the fact, that his first ob-
ject was a separation ofthe States, and the
establishment of an “energetic government,”
including our North Western and Southern
tet’rilor,ieS. This intention was clearly inani-
fested by a serits of publications with the
signature of "QUEnIsr,” in the "Ohio Go-
zette,” a paper then priiitc_d at'Marielta by
one Fairlamb. _ '
Those numbers held forth all the arguments
that could be urged toinduce the withrlrawal
of the Vlfcst and South from the ol.J States.
Burr furnished the leading points, Blrinners
hassett wrote them out and attended to their
publication. The first number was read to
the printer by Blannerhasset, at my father’s
house,an(l in presence ofseverztl ofthe family.
After the printer had retired, my father made
a strong. appeal to Mr.‘B. on the folly and
danger ofsucli an enterprise: reminding him
of his narrow escape from the troubles in
Irelzind, of the happy form of government he
then enjoyed, and of his delightful situation
on the island, suri‘ounded by all the sources
of earthly bliss. Mr. B. was disconcerted;
lie acknowletlged his obligations for my
lathcr’s friendly motives. but attributed their
different views to the differetice ofage. Mly
father iudignantly replied, that _he had
fought for the government under which he
lived, that he loved it as the apple of his eye,
and that treason against it could not be con-
cerled under his roof. Mr. B. politely with-
drew, took up his quarters at a public house
and never made his home with us afterward.
B-it number after number ofthe "QUEnIs'r"
came before the people, holding forth the
possession of the public lands, with all their
iiiiiieral prodtictions-—the great agricultural
prospect of the Vv'est—-the vast navigable
waters—the occupation of New Orleans as al
commercial cporium, and various other ar-
guriients in favor of aseparate government.
A day was also appointed to ‘hold a conven-
tion at-.theis.land. .. . . , ._.
But the plans of Burr was not confined to
a separation of the States; he knew that this
project might fall, and the establishment of
an empire in the Mexican Country was his
iilternative. A number of batteaux or row
gallics were prepared on the Muskingum
River, and probably some other point, with
-.\l'tlL'l] he intended a rapid descent on’ New
! Irleaiis, or to ascend the Red River towards
.‘\"l(-’.\'lCO as circtirnstances might require.——
Numbers of restless and desperate spirits
were enlisted in his visionary schemes, from
New Orleans to Pittsburg, but the mass of
the VVt‘Sl.t,'I‘l'l People were attached to their
g0VrFl‘l')!ll(:‘Ill, and their connexjons east of the
mountains. If the convention had assem-
bled on the Island, the inhabitants of the
neighborhood were prepared to disperse them
with force and arms. The Convention failed
and when a party attempted to escape with
the boats, they were prevented by the malitia
under a special law of Ohio, passed for the
occasion with closed doors. But there were
traitors in that .Legislature——in Congress——
in the Army of the United States.
Burr met in council with but a fragament
of his followers, on an island in the Missis-
sippi, wherejhis scheme was abandoned.-
He fled in disguise, but was arrested, tried
at the city of Richmond, and acquitted by a
quirk of the law. Blannerhassctt and other
associates were discharged. His family,
servants and furniture having descended the
river to Natchez, be located himself on ‘a
cotton farm in that vicinity. The Embargo
and the War which followed, defeated his
expectations; he became embarrassed; his
fortune having been impaired by his liabili-
ties for Burr. Under the prospectof a civil
appointment "in Lower Canada, he removed
to Montreal, but his friend the Governor,
being removed, he was again disappointed,
and retired at last to the island of Jersey, in
the British channel, where his maiden sister
resided, a lady of fortune. There hedied,
the victim of a romantic and visionary mind.
iBlan,nerhasset was an Irish nobleman, a
mart of science, and a polished gentlenian.——
He excelled in the composition and perform-
ance of music; his instruments were the
voilin and bass viol, both of which he used
in the manner of the bass. His spacious
Hall was constructed in musical proportions
where the tones of his viol vibrated with
thrilling effect. His library was elegant
and extensive, his laboratory was provided
with abuiudarit apparatus fonchemical and
philosophical experiments,and hishoiise and
grounds were furnished with various means
of winter and summer amusements. The
mansion, with its corridor and wings, formed
half an ellipsis, and the finish and furniture
of the apartments were adapted to the use
for which they were intended. The hall
was a spacious lofty room, its walls painted
a sombre color, and its furniture rich, heavy
and grand. The drawing room was in per-
fect contrast, and its decorations light as a
Fairy’s wing. In short,the whole establish-
ment was noble and genteel, . without
glare of tinsel finery, or the inconsistency of
bad taste. - .
His style of living was unison with his
house and furniture, always elegant, easy and
comfortable. The ‘arrangement’ of his
shrubbery was a _ini_n-iture wildnerm-ss, ‘ was now wrought up to the highest piléll-”.lh€‘dé‘Sl<.7ns are of fanciful nature, "and-con--J
with labyrinth wrlks burdened with flowers
and interspersed with ar'boi‘s»and, grottos.-_-S-
The exteiisive pasture in front, with its flocks
and herds, was-sepni'ate'd from the lawn by‘
an invisible fence; and the view up the Ohio
was obstructed for several miles. But the
whole scenerequires the pen ofa poet. The
description of WRIT is nearer the reality
than is generally believed, and his sketch of
Mrs Blannerhassett is equally true to nature.
She was a beautiful and accomplished lady,
ofdienificd appearance and manners ; affable
friendly, and without the least affectation;
yet, with all her’ elegance, she was a noble
house wife, and devoted to her needle-,—not
in the prodiiction of flowers and flourices,
but of gtrments for her children and servants.
The iniserzible slttnders which have been
reported of her, are without the least founda-
tion. Burr did not seduce’ I3lanrierhassett—
through the medium of his wife, as has often
been stated; his only visit to the‘ island did
not exceed tliree days, and no woman of Mrs.
B.’s mind andjcliaracter could he corrupted
on so brief an acquaintance. Blannerhassett
was 3n~0pt.1l1 and unguarded man, easily
imposed upon, and enthusiastic in all his

26—NUMBE:izi7
I went straight tomy bi-d-r‘ooii‘i,' and after a’
.long search, I found the little black ' rascal
!that had covered my back and shoulders
'thick with oblong wells and was gl inciiig
at the dc-inohical revenge’ depicted in my
cotiriten-arice as I passed by the lookiiigglass
rolling the prisoner ‘as a sweet morsel’ " un-
der my thumb and finger, when the door bell
rang, and the girl. came to say that a g’enllc-
inrin wanted to see me. . .
I stepped below with something of'e.\ulta-
lion in my manner, and in the ball found the
Notary. He handed me a protestand walk-
ed out, and when he had gone I Sll(l'l.O him
You and your bank may go to the d—l!
I'd rather have the pleasure of torturing this
little torment to deatli,than to have the stamp-
ed note in my pocket. After manipulating
my victim with this economy of cnjoyment,I
thought f’d see how he bore it. Now would
you believe it-—it u=asn’i:' the flea, after all f
It was only a piece of lilac/t: lint that had
worn of front the lower side of my stock.-
This was the bitterest disappointment of that
unlucky da_y.-——IfmIclue.-‘boo/ser. '
Bots and (5r'i'rls- --—The times have indeed
./ _
tnipulses. ‘Burr _.-ipproaclied him in the
most artful and insidiousmanner. Descend-
ing the river in it batteaux, he lauded as a
passing stranger, merely to see thefar-famed
Island. Mt. Blannnrhassett hearing that a
stranger was on his lawn, sent a servant to
invite him to the house; the wily serpent
sent his card with an apology, but Mr. B.,
with his usual hospitality, walked‘ out and
insisted on his remaining a‘ day or" two.-
Burr very modestly acquiesced, and during
that unfortunate interview infused the poison
ofatnbitiori into the unweary mind ofhis vis-
sionary host. .
Mrs. B. endeavored to dissuade her hus-
band from the enterprize, but finding his
soul enlisted in it, her sense of ditty com-
pulled her to acquiesce in his views, which
resulted in the ruin of llleifdllllly.
Little TTOuf)feS.—-If is‘ DI‘. Johnson, we
believe, ivliossiys that little vexations are
more trying to the temper, and harder_to be
borne, than greater troubles. We heard tiic
other evening a querulous looking manufac-
turer illustrate the truth of the remark, by
it ludicrous fiarraitive of small annoyances,
that made an aggregate of large misery. I
went, said lie, into my barber’s this morning
with my temper soured by letters from the
attorneys of five bankrupt creditors at the
south\vest,pgst:ige unpaid,ofcoiirse —oh,ye:t;
bankrupts-d'cin_’t pay postage to theirdupes——
oh no !—-I was vexed too’ by a painter, who

me a new sign. but hetnust go a sailing on
the bay :1 Sunday, and get drowned just as
like as not on hisjourney, any how,lie ‘died;
and made no sign.’ I was in a dreadful
hurry for I had to raise money to take up a
note, and was short full one half. There
was a young sprig in the bai'ber’s chair,
who passedjme and got into the shop about

Reat1i7i.g.—Of all the amusements that
can possibly be imagined for a hard-ivorlting
man, after his daily toil or in its interv-.il;<,
there is nothing like reading an interesting
newspaper or book. It calls for no bodily
exertion, of which he has already had
enough. or perhaps too much. It ‘relieves
his home of its dulness and santcness. It
transports him into a livelier andgayer, and
more diversified and interesting scene; and
while he enjoys himselfthere, he may forget
the evils of the present moment fully as much
tage of finding himself thenext day with the
rtioney in his pocket, or at least laid out in
real necesstirit:-s—and without thedrunkard’s
misery of mind and body. I\'a_v,‘it accom-
panies him to his next day's nook; and if
what he has been reading‘ be anything above
the idlest and lightest, it gives‘ ‘ -tiiiii ‘some’-‘
thing to think of besides the mere mechan-
ical drudgery of his every day occupittion——
something he can enjoy while absent, and
look forward with pleasure to. If I were
to pray for a taste which would stand me
instead under every variety of circumstances
and be a source of happiness and cheerfulness
to me through life, and a shield against all
its ills, however things might go amiss and
the world frown upon me, it should be a
taste for reading;-—S. J. Hersc/tel.

interior of the new packet ship Ashburton,
“The sides of the cabin are divided into
compartments of door and panel work: the
doors are subdiyided by rich scroll tracery
chased with gold, and each panuel containing
‘a picture-in vingnette style. The pediment
and casings form a rich piece of ultra relief,
in which are introduced amongst the orna-
ments, dolphins and fabulous monsters‘ of
the deep. The compartments are in the
richest style of ornament, and each. contain-
ing a picture allegorical of the treaty of
peace between Englandand Ameirica. The
designs are all original, and painted in the
pleasing style practiced by Wartow in the
palaces ofFrance, in the age of Louis XIV.

ofonc of the most melancholy deaths we
have seen on record for many days. On
Tuesday morning, the 3d of‘ January, be.
tween 7 and 8 o’clock, a wagon loaded with
wood drove up to a store in that city, driven
by a man named Victs, from Granby, , 18
miles distant. The morning was one ofthe
coldest known for many years, and a lad na-
med Gillet, about 14 years old, who had been
living with Viets for some months, had been
forced to ride the horse all the way. He
was very thinly clad—-having on thin cotton
trowsers, worn-out stockings, and a short,
thin-jacket. They started at about one
o’clock inthe morning, and on arriving at
the store, Viets ordered the boy to get "off.
He could not do so, and several bystanders
immediately assisted hint. It was found that
he was unable to stand. He was taken into
the store, and both feet were found to be fro-
zen to the"/cnees. A physician was sent for
—his limbs, being putinto cold water. swell-
ed up to ari enormous size, blood started from
them in several places, the lad’s ,sufI'erin‘gs
were excruciating: and it was decided" tl;at_
