I return you the inclosed with thanks for the communication. we had before heard of the aggression & that the captors & captured were retaken by our military & the former safely lodged in jail for trial. How deeply to be regretted, my dear Sir, is the bitter schism which has lately split the friends of republicanism into two adverse sections in Pensylvania! it holds up a melancholy prospect to...
I return you the letter you were so good as to inclose me with thanks for the communication. the real occurrences at Natchitoches & the Sabine had, as usual, swelled greatly on their way to Natches. the 500. horse were really but 20. who retired without opposition on Capt Turner’s requisition. the official reports of Majr. Porter & Capt Turner assure us of these facts. Some unexpected...
Your favor of the 3d. is recieved on the subject of a pardon to the Poulsons & Shad. it has been an invariable rule with me never to pardon but on the recommendation of the judges who sat on the trial or of one of them & the Attorney of the district. from this I have never departed in a single instance; and were it to be departed from, it would let loose the power of pardon to be exercised...

The constitution giving to the Supreme court exclusive jurisdn in all cases affecting Ambassadors Etc.— cannot the within mentioned case be removed into that court? when there, a Nolle Prosequi may be entered. for it is indignant that a man remaining here in defiance, and himself entering the field of the newspapers in the most insolent stile, should have the counter-insolencies punished.

The inclosed letter was sent to me on the supposition that some step might be necessary to be taken here you being at the time in Philada.

It is the opinion of the President which I am just authorized to signify to you, that Mr. La Trobe, be immediately be summoned to Richmond as a witness in the trial of Col. Burr. A leter from Mr. Hay to the President expresses much confidence in the sufficiency of the testimony already on the spot. Genl. Wilkinson had not arrived on Monday.

Having been informed by the Secretary of State that he has sent you two letters, directed to me, with the Request to forward them—an Occurrence which must have taken Place at least four Weeks ago—I feel a considerable degree of Surprise not yet to have received them, particularly as You can not have been unacquainted with my address either before or after my Arrival here.

Yours of the 16th. was recieved last night. however much we may feel the want of you in the daily correspondence which of necessity falls upon us from Richmond, yet we much more regret the cause of detention, of the sufficiency of which no parent can doubt. it was unlucky that when I wrote to you for Genl. Wilkinson’s letter of Oct. 21. I did not recollect that there were two of that date, &...
I very much suspect that the date of the letter quoted in the message is quoted wrong. the contents are correctly stated & well remembered.

I think I remember that on the question whether the court of one district could have an attachment executed in another to compel the attendance of a witness, you satisfied us it could not. will you have the goodness to give me a formal opinion on that question with as little delay as convenient?

Having communicated the inclosed letter from Judge Davis to the President, he suggests that it be transmitted to you, who will best judge, if the case be meddled with at all, how to prevent a conflict of jurisdictions.
