He was an out-

become ruler of a proud land. He would
conquer tliis gorgeous realm. He would
realize in the new world, as Napoleon in
the old, a dream of romance. He would
.snrro‘und his throne with dukes and mar-
sfiais‘,and princes of the empire. The
pomp of chivalry, the splendors cf the
East should be revived in his gorgeous
court. And when he had founded this
empire, and girded his throne, witli—~tliese
new Paladines, he would l00k back Willi

rank eagerly embraced the eiiterprise;

ture dazzled young and ardent tempera-
ments. Hundreds held themselves in
readiness to join the expedition as soon
as ivor‘ should. be declared, and funds were
sec,-oily provided in our cities to forward
this romantic enterprize. hi the pi'_iV}ile
papers of some of our most (.lls[ln'f_Tlil'Sl“ied'
families, rests ample evidence of the mag-
nitude and brillizincy of the plot.
It was at this period that Burr met
Blennarhassett an Irish gentlemen of for-
tune, who had purchased and settled. on
an island in the Ohio river. This little
spot bloomed under his culture like the
enchanted garden of H85P9"“l°9' Here’

several years, dividinghis time between
I-iter-ature and: domestic case. But the
f‘-,15c~ination of Burr soon transmuted the
character of his host, until the hitherto
quiet student was fired with dreams of
;,,,m0,.tat glory, His mansion soon,be-
came the rendezvous of the bold spirits
‘whom Burr had enlisted in his enterprise;
and the magic of music, united to the
chafms of lovely women, threw a roman-
tic fascination around the spot. ' The
coolest minds could not withstand toe in-
toxication of that moment. Amid the
pziuses of the dance, the enthusiastic ad-
venturers talked of the banners, embroid-
ered by fair hands, under which they
were to march to conquest; _while the
softer sex disco-ssecl, half jestingly. lmlf
earnestly, the gay d.r-.es.<es they were two
rustle at their future court. But to this
bewildering dream there came a sudden
awakening. An arrangement had been
made with Spain, and,the government zip.

outcast. Desolation soon, brooded over
the hearth stone which the wife and
mother had cheered with her smiles. A
few months elapsed and the traveller pass-
ing that island heard the long grass
whistling in the ruins and saw the wild
fox look forth from his hole unscared. _
Bu". did not, however, abandon his
d‘-nrling scheme. Deserted by nine tenths
of his adherents, he still refused to des-
pair, but collecting a small body of men
began to descend the Ohio. ‘He had pur-
chased a tract of land in Louisiana, where
he resolved to form a settlement, which
in time,.rniglit become a depot from which
to direct‘ at attack on Mexico, if a favora-
ble opportrunity should occur. But as he
,«_,,-ooeedod, the‘ country began-‘ to be Sitl€t-'l'ln-
ed‘. Rlumors were‘ in‘ circulation that he
intended .to dismember the Union, by
soparating the south-western States from
the rest of the confederacy. At length
his progress was stopped by the 8Lll.liOl‘l,
ties. He was arrested on a _cl'iarge.of
high treason, and sent to Virginia for trial
uncle-i' the escort of a party of drngoons.
The history of this country affords no
parallel to the extraordinary reverses of
fortiine which had be-fallen Burr; and the
mind. coo. di-so-o-ver naotbing to which to
liken it except in the events of eastern
history, where, by the same turn of the
\vlie-el, the camel driver rises to a mon-
arch, and the sultan sinks to a slave.

The trial of Burr was an event which
,struck every iinaginaiive mind. The
lprisoner had been the Vice President of
the nation. His crime was the most fla-
grant known to the law. His country was
the accuser. He was arraigned before the
supreme tribunal of the nation, and the
judge who presided was the liigliest dig-
lnitary of that court. The magnitude of
the charges, the number of rersons in-
,volved in the plot, the former high stand-
jing and extraordinary fortunes of the ac-
cused, all these combined had fastened the
attention of the community on his trial,
and as it progressed, the nation stood
gazing and in breathless aiispense. Nev-
er before or since has this country wit-
nessed such an array of t:iient:i~rr any pub-
lic cause. There was the chief justice,
learned, dignified, incorruptihle. There
was Wirt, brilliant and showy, but less
known to fame then, than he was destined
afterward to become. There was Martin,
quick, keen, armed at all points. There
were Hay, Randolph, and a host of others,
renowned for legal accumen and forensic
skill. And there too was the accused,
pre—eininent amid that bright array, infe-
rior to none in intellect, superior to all in
the magnitude of his resources. Never,

was life or death. He was arraigned by a
powerful foe ;. the executive itself was
secretly busy against him; the iiiry re-
garded him with prejudice. Yet he stood
up against this combination of dangers,
cool, ready, stout of heart. He fought
every inch of ground wiili a skill and per-

yet seductive. Success did not intoxicate,l
nor reverses dismay-him. Tiirning to the i
other aspect of his cliaracter, these great,
qualities sink into iusignificaiice beside
his evil ones. He was a- profligate in‘
morals, public and private. He was,
sellisli, he was artful, a master in dissim-
ulation. treacherous and cold learted.—
What Sallust said of Caialine, mi_glit,i
with equal propriety, be said of him: “ Cu-Q
pidns vnluptanm gloriae cupiilior.” Sub-‘
ing of means, regardless of con;-‘eqiiences,l
he shot upward in popularity with aston-
ishing velocity; but, a skeptic in honesty,
ii scorner of all things noble and good, he,
failed to secure the public con‘idence and‘
fell lieadlong from his dizzy eminence.-
Here lies the secret of‘ his ruin-;‘ there
was nothing in his character to which the
great heart of the peop'e could attach it-
self in love; but they shrank from him in:
mistrust as from a cold and glittering
serpent. The public rarely errs in an
estimate like this.
After his trial Burr went abroad, virtu-
ally a banished man. He was sti’.l full of‘
his schemes against the’ Spanish provin-
ces; but in England he‘ met no encour-
agement, that nation being engaged’ in tlie
Peninsular war. He afterward visited
France, where his petitions were’ equally
in the continental wars. Here funds
had no friend to whom to apply but was

A .pursnit was at

Maxysvi-lle to assist in the rcc’apture.- A
telo.-graphic despatch from that place states‘
that the fugitives were overtaken by a
party of‘ twenty whites near the‘ ri-«ver,—bnt',
being armed, they offered a’ successful
resistance, l;illin:_' one wliit"e man:- Sub-
sequent to the fright‘, five iiegroes‘ were

absolute desolation is the pier. Scarcely
a vestige of .it remains. Tliroiighiiut its

consumed, including the V\’ll:Jl‘\7éS, ware-
houses, nearly all the‘ shipping in the Bit-

canal boats, huge floating warehouse arlcs,

of goods and products, the three bridges

lumber yards, flour stores, in short every
thing that floated or teemed with life and
value in that great ma:-rt yesterday morn-

The scene in State st. beggars all _des-l
cript-i-on. Thousands, flying from the
conflagration, pressed every conceivable
vehicle into their service, depositing
goods, furniture, elii-ldren, everything ani-
mate and inanimate. The stores every
where were closed, or were only opened
to the flying citizens and their effects.
Two buildings were blown up in the
hope of arresting the progress of the fll'€.;
Among the‘ shipping destroyed was the‘
sclir. Cotuit of Boston, arrived yesterday,
morning, and the sclir. Eliza Matilda, alsol
of Boston, seriously damaged. Some.
twenty vessels below the Basin were has-
tily drawn out in the river and preserved.

steamersjwerc also rescued, with much
