In consequence of his duel with Ham ilton he became a fugitive front _justice, is indicted for murder by the Grand-Jury of New Jersey, flies . to-the South. lives for a short time in ob-xmrity, until the meeting of Coi gvess. when he comes forth, and again takes the Chair as President of the Sen ate. After the expiration of the term he goes to the West. becomes the leading spirit in a scheme of authitihn to invade Mexico, (very few believe that he sought a dismemberment of the Union,) is brought back a prisolter of State to Richmond, charged with high treazott, is tried and acquitted, is forced to leave his native Innil end go to bumf*. In England he is snspectell,'aml retires to France, where he lived in reduced cireurristances, at times not being able to procure a meal •of victuals. After an absence of several 'years he finds means tr return home. lie lands in Boston without a cent in his pocket, an object of distrust to Burr had heard no t;di!nl , of his daughter since his departure from home. He was noxious to hear from her; her husband, and only child, in whom his soul was bdund up. The first news he heard was that his grandchild had ditd while he was an ciutetist in foreign lands, which stroke of Providence he felt keenly, for be dearly loved the boy, Theodosia, the daughter of Burr, was the wife of Gov. Allston of South- Carolina- She married voting, and father was near the zenith of,. Ins fame. She was beautiful and accomplished, a lady of the finest fivlinz and an excellent writer, a devoted wife, a -fond mother, and a most dutiful and loving daughter IX/InClUlg with redoubled af fection to the fOrt ones of herlather, as the clouds of iftiversit c 4 gathered around him and he was de -5(17140 by the friends whom ho formerly elonished. Tlid first duty Burr performed after his arrival here was to acquaint Mr , . Allston -of his ret urn. She inunediatelv wrote back to him that she was coin ing to see him, and would meet him -in c few weeks in New York. This letter was couched in the most affectionate terms. and is another evidence of the Purity and Power orwoinan's love. In expectation of seeing his daughter, in a few days, Burr r&eired much pleasure. She became - his all on rank Wife. grandchild, friends, all were gone ; his daughter alone remained to cheer and solace'the evviiirg if his life, and welcome him back from his exile. 1.)..s passed on—then weeks — wee k s were len i rthened into months, vet nought was heard from 111-,.
