During the last session of Congress the widow of Harmon Blannerhassett petition. ?d for indemnity for losses incurred hy her lato husband, in consequence of the des. truction of his property by an armed forco, during the excitement growing out of Burr'a conspiracy, while the petition was under consideration, the unfortunato lady died at New York, at the ago of 70. She was very poor; having been for many years supported by a warm-hearted coun. tryman. Her extraordinary beauty and accomplishments havo been rendered fa. mous by Mr. Wirt's eloquent description, in his defence of her husband. He repro. sented her as " beautiful as a llouri, and gifted as Zobcide." Iter husbund, a wealthy Iriah emigrant, shared the political opinions of Robert Emmet, and is said to have left Ireland to avoid his fate. Ho bought nn estate on Bacchus Island, in the broad Ohio, on which he expended $55,000. It became renouned for the elegance of the mansion, the tasteful arrangement of the grounds, and the loveliness of the scenery. It was described as a luxurious retreat, which "Calypso and her Nymphs might have erfried." Not even the ruins of this once famous place are now remaining. In an evil hour, one fine spring morning, Aaron Burr landed on that beautiful Island, and sent his servant with tho following note: " Colonel Burr solicits the favor of being permitted to tcatultxLgmong the grounds of Mrs. BlannerhafflStf This, of course, received a courteous answer, and tho acquaintance thus begun involved the hoepitablo emigrant in the treasonable designs of his insidious guest. A military force took possession of the island, burnt tho splendid house and furniture. destroyed tho beautiful gardens, and drove the once happy family into exile. The following account, from the Licking Valley Register, Kentucky, is given by one who knew them in their prosperity : Much has been said and written on the conspiracy of Aaron Burr ; and a diversity of oninion still exists, as to thn M?pni of hia designs. The elegant retirement of Blannerhasset, previous to his association with Burr, has also been a theme ol eloquence and a subject of admiration. As I lived near the centro of Buir's operations, and was intimato with the family of Blannerhassett, many facts came under my observation which perhaps are not generally known. I therefore comply with your request by detailing circumstances which were familiar to me at that po. riod. With reference to Burr's conspiracy, 1 have never doubted the fact, that his first object wast separation of tho States, and the establishment of "an energetic government," including our north west and southwestern territories. This intention was clearly manifested by a series of publications with the signature of "Qubr1st," in the " Ohio Gazette," a paper then printed at Marietta, by one Fairlamb. Those numbers held forth all tho arguments that could be urged, to induce the withdrawal of the West and South from the old States. Burr furnished the leadins ooints. Blnnnerha&aett wrntn tknm mil and attended to tlioir publication. The first number was read to tho printer, by Blannerhassett, at my father's house, and in the presence of several of the family. After the printer had retired my father made a strong appeal to Mr. Blanncrhasaett, on the folly and danger of such an enterprise; reminding him of his narrow escapo from the troubles of Ireland, of the unhappy form of government he then enjoyed, and of his delightful situation at the Island, surrounded with all the sources of earthly bliss. Mr. Blanncrhassett was disconcerted ; he acknowledged his obligations for my father's friendly motives, but attributed their different views to difference of age. My father indignantly replied that ho had fought for the Govern i l- i?, -j -i - < iiiciii uiiuci BIO llVOIJf inoi 116 lovoci it os the apple of his eye, and that treason against it could not bo concerned under hia roof. Mr. Blannerhnssett politely withdrew, took up hia quarters at a public house, and never made his home with us afterwards. But number after number of the "Qubrist," came before the propie, holding forth the possession of the public innds, with all their mineral productions?the great agricultural prospects of the West-?the vast navigable waters ?the occupation of New Orloans as a commercial emporium, and various other arguments in favor of a separate government. A day was also appointed to hold a convention at the island. But the plans of Burr were not confined to tho separation of the States; he knew that this project might fail, and the establishment of an empire in tho Mexican country was his alternative, n number of batteaux, or row-gallios, were prepared on the Muskingum river, and prohubly seme at other points, with which he intended a rapid descent on New Orleans, or to ascend the Red river towards Mexico, aa circumstances might require. Numbers of restless and despurnte spirits wero enlisted in his visionary schemes, 1 " ivim ? iii?uurg in now urioans but (lie maws of the westorn people were attached to their government, nnd their connec* lions cant of the mountains. If the convention had assembled at the island, the Inhabitants of the neighbourhood were prepared to disperse them with force and arms. The convention failed ; and when a party attempted to escape with tho boats they were prevented by the mililin, under a special law of Ohio, passed for theocca< sion, with closed doors. Hut there were traitor* in Ihat legislature?in Congress ?and in the army of the United States. , mmmmmmmmmmmammammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmoi Burr mot in council with n fragment of his followers, on an island in tho Missis* sippi, whore his scheme was abandoned. He fled in disguise but was arrested, tried at the city of Richmond, and acquitted by a quirk of the law. Blanncrhassott and other associates wcro discharged. His family, sorvants and furniture, having do* scended the river to Natchez, ho located himself on a cotton farm in that vicinity. The ombargo and the war which follow, cd, defeated his expectations; he bccamo embarrassed; his fortune having been unpaired by his liabilities for Burr. Un. dor the prospect of a civil appointment in Lower Canada, ho removed to Montreal, but his friend, tho governor, being removed, he was again disappointed, and retired at last to tho Island of Jersey, in the British channel, where his maiden sister resided, a lady of fortune. There he died the victim of a romantic and visionary mind. Blanncrhassott was an Irish nobleman, a man of science, and a polished gentloman. He excelled in the composition and porformanco of music; his instruments were tho violin, and bass-viol, both of which ho used in tho manner of tho onus, ins spacious nnll 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 abundant apparatus for chemical and philosophical experiments, and his houso and gardens were furnished with various means of winter and summer amusements. Tho mansion, with its corridor and wings, formed half an ellipsis, and the finish and furniture of its apartments were adapted to the uso for which they were intended. The hall was a spacious, lofty room, its walls painted a sombro color, and its furniture rich, heavy, and grand. The drawing room wa9 in perfect contrast, and its doc. orations light as a Tory's wing. In short tho whole establishment was noble and genteel, without the glare of tinsel finery, or the inconsistency of bad taste. His stylo of living was in unision with his house and furniture, always elegant, easy and comfortable. The arrangements of the grounds was equally complete, the famous shrubcry was a mimic wilderness, with labyrinth walks bordered with flow, i ers, and interspersed with arbors and . grottos. The extensive pnsturcs in front, t with itR flocks and herds, was separated from the lawn by an invinciblo fenco; and the view upon tho Ohio was obstruc[* ted for several miles. But the whole , scene requires the pen of a poet. The . description of Wirt is nearer the reality than is generally believed, and his sketch . of Mrs. Blannerhassett is equally truo to nature. She was n beautiful, and nccom' plished lady, of dignified appearance and . manners; a (Table, friendly, and without the least affectation, yet with all her clegancc, she was a noble housewife, and dovoted to her ncedlo; not in the produc; tion of flowers and flounces, but of garI ments for her children and servants. The miserable slanders which have been reported of her, arc without the least foundation. Burr did not seduce Blannerhassett, through the medium of his wifo, as has often been stated ; his only visit to the island did not exceed three days; and no woman of Mrs. Blnnnerhassett's mind and character, could be corrupted on so brief an acquaintance. Blannerhassett was an open and unguarded man, easily imposed upon nnd enthusiastic in all his impulses. Burr approached him in the most artful and insidious manner. Descending the river in a batteaux. ho landed as a passing stranger merely to see and admire the far-famed island. Mr. Blanncrhassett hearing that a stranger was on his lawn sent n servant to invite him to the house; tho wily serpent sont his card with an apology, but Mr Blanner* hassett with his usual hospitality walked 1 out and insisted on his remaining a day or two. Burr very modestly acquiesced, and during that unfortunato interview,! i infused tho poison of ambition into the unwary mind of his visionary host. Mrs. Blnnnerhassett endeavoured to dissuade her husband Irom the enterprise, but findhis soul enlisted in it, her sense of duty compelled her to acquiesce in his views, which resulted in the ruin of his family. Years havo gone by, and the talo at last, Is told as a sorrowful sccno long past." The steamboat pnsscngcr looks on the deserted islnnd for some vestnge of its for. mer embclishinent; but he looks in vnin. The mansion was destroyed by fire, its beautiful appendages are obliterated, its hospitality, tho soul of music and the re. finement of tnsto and intellect have all do. parted* On my Inst visit to the scene of many happy hours, tho only memento of my enrly associations 1 could find, was " R.

Since its establishment it has expended, for lots, buildings, and repairs, about $5000; besides large sums of money in making up to teachers from time to time deficiencies in their salaries, arising from inadequate receipts for tuition. Though the Society has heretofore received considerable aid froin citizens and others not members ; yet the principal burden and the whole responsi. bility (previous to last year) has always rested on those who were. The Society now consists of few in number ; and at a meeting convened this day, it was resolved to sell the Academical Lots and Buildings for the purpose of paying the above debt; unless some measures are promptly adopted by the community to discharge the same. Most, perhaps all, the members of the Society are understood to be willing to co-opcratc with their fellow citizens in this matter; but they are not disposed to do it without their assistance.. The 16th day of next month is fixed for delerrning upon tho sale ; unless, before that date, the peoplo (with such arguments as satisfy creditors) put their veto upon it.
