HISCELLAHCOtS. AARON nURR AND ULANNF.ltll ASSKT. During the last session of Congress the w idow of Harmon Biannerhassctt petitioned for indemnity, for losses incurred by her j late husband, in conscience of tfie des- j truction of his property by an armed force, during the cxcitcinpnt growing out of j four's conspiracy, while the petition was *uodt*? consideration, the unfortunate ladv died at New York, at the age of 70. Sne was very poor; having beer, for many years supported by a warm-hearted countryman. Hor extraordinary beauty and - accomplishments have been rendered faHy Wirt's eloquent description, jm his defence of her husband. He represented her as "beautiful as a flouri, and gifted as Zoh^ide." Her husband, a wealthy Irish emigrant, shared the political opinions of Robert Emmet, and is said to have left Ireland to avoid his fate. He bought an estate on Bacchus Island, in the broad Ohio, on which he expended $55,000. It became rcnouned for the elegance of the mansion, the tasteful arrangement of the grounds, and the loveliness of the scenery. It was described as n luxurious retreat, which and her Nymphs might have Not even the ruins of this once famous place are now remaining. In an evil hour, one fine spring morning, Aaron Burr Ian. ded on that beautiful Island, and sent his I t 1 sei'Vhni with the following note: " Colonel Burr solicits the favor of being permitted to icandcj^qmong the grounds of Mrs. Blaunerhassot. \ This, of course, received a courteous answer, and the acquaintance thus begun involved the hospitable emigrant, in the treasonable designs of his insidious guest. A military force took possession of the . island, burnt the splendid house and fur. \ niture. destroyed the beautiful gardens, s and drore the once happy family into exile. following account, from the LickpilWallev Register, Kentucky, is given who knew thein in their prosperity : Much has been said and written on the ^ conspiracy of Aaron Burr; and a diversity of opinion still exists, as to the extent of his designs.

Blunnerhns.sett and j other associates were discharged. His I family, servants and furniture, having descended the river to Natchez, he located himself pn a cotton farm in that vicinity, .. The embargo and the war which follow- I ed, defeated his expectations; he became w embarrassed; his fortune having been b? impaired by his liabilities for Burr. Under the prospect of a civil appointment in Lower Canada, he removed to Montreal, but his friend, the governor, being rcmoved, he was again disappointed, and retired rc at lust to the Island of Jersey, in the Brit- :ti ish channel, where his maiden sister resi- tr ded, a lady of fortune. There he died the ^ victim of a romantic and visionary mind. ^ Blunncrhasselt was an Irish nobleman, s a man of science, and a polished gentleman. He excelled in the composition and performance of music; his instruments were the violin, and bass-viol, both of which he used in the manner of the S bass; His spacious hall was constructed ^ in musical proportions, where the tones of his viol vibrated with thrilling effect. His library As elegant and extensive, bis laboratory was provided with abundant ap- 7 parntus for chemical and philosophical ex- d perimcnts, and his house and gardens h were furnished with various means of win- a tcr and summer amusements. The man- jj sion, with its corridor and wings, formed half an ellipsis, and the finish and furni- ^ ture of its apartments were adapted to the a use for which they were intended. The ti hall was a spacious, lofty room, its walls b painted a sombre color, and its furniture c rich, heavy, and grand. The drawing ? room whs in perfect contrast, and its dec- ^ orations light as a fary's wing. In short p the whole establishment was noble and n genteel, without the glare'of tinsel finery, n innnncidlonru nf had taste. His a I'l I 11 Is w. stylo of living was in unision with his ll house and furniture, always elegant, easy c and comfortable. The arrangement of ^ the grounds was equally complete, the j famous shrubery was a mimic wilderness, <? with labyrinth walks bordered with flow, it ers, and interspersed with arbors and grottos. The extensive pastures in front, with its flocks and herds, was separated from the lawn by an invincible fence; and the view upon the Ohio was obstructed for several miles. But the whole "j scene requires the pen of a poet. The J description of Wirtds nearer the reality j than is generally believed, and his sketch I of Mrs. Blannerhassett is equally true to jt nature. She was a beautiful, and accom- I ' plished lady, of dignified appearance and p manners; affable, friendly, and without! . lite least affectation, yet with all her cle?hc was a noble housewife, and do- ^ voted to her needle; tioi ?? lite nroduc.- 1 (ion of flowers and flounces, but of garments for her children and servants. / t iiu mlofs wbi^h have been ^ reported of her, are without the least foundation. Burr did not seduce Blan- ^ nerhassett, through the medium of his . 7 D / wife, as has often been stated; his only - "uit iu tiic i->lanu did not exceed three days; and no woman of Mrs. Blannerhassett's mind and character, couid be corrupted on so brief an acquaintance. Blannerhassett was an open and unguarded man, easily imposed upon and enthusins- i] tic in all his impulses. Burr approached t< him in the most artful and insidious mar^ ner. Descending the river in a*batt^aux. he landed as a passing siranger merely to J. Spc and admire the fur-famed island. Sir. Blannerhassett hearing that' a slranger ^ was on his sent a servant to invite fi big) to the house; the wily serpent sent 1 his card with an apology, but Mr Blanner- 1 hassett with his usual hospitality walked out and insisted on his ?remaining a day f or two. Burr very modestly acquiesced, and during that uijfortunato interview, b infused the poison of ambition into the C unwary mind of his visionary host. Mrs. Blannerhassett endeavoured to dissuade _ her husband from the enterprise, but findhis soul enlisted in it, her sense of duty 7 compelled her to acquiesce in his views, which resulted in the ruin of his family. ^ " Years have gone by, and the talc at last, ft Is told as a sorrowful scene long past." The steamboat passenger looks on the V deserted island for some vestageof its for- l! it mer embelishment; but he looks in vain. The mansion was destroyed by fire, its beautiful appendages are blitcratcd, its hospitality, the soul of music and the refinement of taste and intellect have all departed* On nfty Inst visit to the scene of many happy hours, the only memento of my early associations l^ould find, was : J * R. \V. 1805," carved on the bark ofan J old beech tree. " 1 felt like one who treads alone, * a Some banquet hall deserted ; d Whose lights afe fled, the garlands dead, ^ And all but ho departed." 0 ???
