Dubois it is well known is always in market, and how far bis offertion, that lie might have accepted a pocket full ot Burr's notes may gain credit with you, lome ot his declarations which fhall prefently mention, may enable you to determine, arid which, if denied, 1 will fubftantiate by indubitable teftimnny. My agency with Purr has been laid before the public fupported by the certificate ot judge Taylor, and I believe has ben fatisfactory to the honeft part ot the community what induces that beli 1 ic. a fhort time after I was eleClrd a member ot the legif lative council, which 1 afterwards refigned ? few however, 1 believe 14 in number, equally b.fe with T.

During tins time Dubois lived at Vincennes, and if he knew any thing com inal in me, it was his duty as a good citizen ot the country qui I a dcpouilU le braillet dc son cul to have made it known, but at that time perhaps the iron chett had not. come rVom Canada, his native country nor tpread its influence that it bas influence, tne declarations ot Dubois himfell will abundant lv prove He mutt r-collect his repeating certain things which Nathl.
