BY J. R. CHITWOOD.
When th' Muses are guardians of Virtue and Peace, Corruption shall tremble and swiftly decrease By Verse we are soften'd by Verse we're inflam'd And th' Savage untutor'd by Music is tam'd.
THIS hoped this will not prove unacceptable to any class of Americans; those excepted, who contemn sentiment and dispise morality.—That its variety will render amusing to all.—That the serious and thoughtful will find sentiments congenial to their own; while the young and volatile read with pleasure the page where the airy scenes of social life are depicted; where the amorous is not excluded, but love has been sung in its turn. In examining the poems of the latter class, the author prides himself upon the reflection, that in them all, there is not an unchaste thought, nor an expression tending to effeminacy or corruption. In the effusions of the poet, the youthful mind often receives impressions never to be eradicated. The powers of verse, the attractive charms of melody, have been acknowledged by the illustrious in all ages, since science has smiled upon men, or a love of refinement been implanted in his soul.
The author hopes, as most of his scenes are laid in these western climes, and every person desires the improvement of his own country, that his friends and fellow citizens will not be backward in giving him a small portion of their patronage in encouraging the present work. It will be put to press as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers can be obtained. Will comprise about 250 pages, neatly bound and lettered. The price will be One Dollar, payable on delivery To non-subscribers it cannot cost less.
Those who obtain twelve subscribers and become responsible for the money, or subscriber for twelve copies, shall receive one gratis. A complete list of subscribers' names, and respective places of residence, shall be printed in the last of the volume. October 1809.

The Kentucky Hotel.
THE Subscriber has leased of Mr. Henry Clay, for a term of years, that valuable stand for a Tavern, in the town of Lexington, formerly known by the name of Travellers' Hall, where he has opened a Hotel under the above stile.—The situation of this property, on the public square, directly opposite the North East front of the court house, and in the centre of business, gives it peculiar advantages. Great expenses have been incurred in repairs and improvements, and in point of space, convenience and comfort the apartments of the house are surpassed by none.

He has provided himself with good servants, a plentiful stock of the best liquors, and in short with every necessary calculated to accommodate and render agreeable the time of those who may favor him with their custom; and he trusts that from the attention which he means personally to give to every department of his business, he will be found to merit that patronage which he thus presumes to solicit from the public.

LEXINGTON, DECEMBER 12, 1809.
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. 29.
The President of the United States this day communicated, by Mr. Graham, the following message to congress:
Fellow Citizens of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives,
AT the period of our last meeting, I had the satisfaction of communicating an adjustment with one of the principal belligerent nations, highly important in itself, and still more so, as presaging a more extended accommodation. It is with deep concern, I am now to inform you that the favourable prospect has been overclouded, by a refusal of the British government to abide by the act of its minister plenipotentiary, and by its ensuing policy towards the United States, as seen through the communications of the minister sent to replace him.
Whatever pleas may be urged for a disavowal of engagements formed by diplomatic functionaries, in cases where by the terms of the engagements, a mutual ratification is reserved; or where notice at the time may have been given of a departure from instructions; or in extraordinary cases, essentially violating the principles of equity; a disavowal could not have been apprehended in a case where no such notice or violation existed; were no such ratification was reserved; and more especially, where as is now in proof, an engagement, to be executed without any such ratification, was contemplated by the instructions given, and where it had with good faith been carried into immediate execution, on the part of the United States.
These considerations not having restrained the British government from disavowing the arrangement, by virtue of which its orders in council were to be revoked, and the event authorising the renewal of commercial intercourse having thus not taken place; it necessarily became a question, of equal urgency and importance, whether the act prohibiting that intercourse was not to be considered as remaining in legal force. This question being, after due deliberation, determined in the affirmative, a proclamation to that effect was issued. It could not but happen, however, that a return to this state of things, from that which had followed an execution of the arrangement by the U. States, would involve difficulties. With a view to diminish these as much as possible, the instructions from the secretary of the treasury, now laid before you, were transmitted to the collectors of the several ports. If in permitting British vessels to depart, without giving bonds not to proceed to their own ports, it should appear, that the tenor of legal authority has not been strictly pursued, it is to be ascribed to the anxious desire which was felt, that no individuals should be injured by so unforeseen an occurrence: And I rely on the regard of Congress for the equitable interests of our own citizens, to adopt whatever further provisions may be found requisite for a general remission of penalties involuntarily incurred.
The recall of the disavowed minister having been followed by the appointment of a successor, hopes were indulged that the new mission would contribute to alleviate the disappointment which had been produced, and to remove the causes which had so long embarrassed the good understanding of the two nations. It could not be doubted, that it would at least be charged with conciliatory explanations of the step which had been taken, and with proposals to be substituted for the rejected arrangement. Reasonable and universal as this expectation was, it also has not been fulfilled. From the first official disclosures of the new minister, it was found that he had received no authority to enter into explanations relative to either branch of the arrangement disavowed; nor any authority to substitute proposals, as to that branch which concerned the British orders in council: And finally, that his proposals with respect to the other branch, the attack on the frigate Chesapeake, were founded on a presumption, repeatedly declared to be inadmissible by the U. States, that the first step towards adjustment was due from them: the proposals at the same time containing even a reference to the officer assassinated for the murderous aggression, and asserting a claim not less contrary to the British laws and British practice, than to the principles and obligations of the United States.
The correspondence between the department of state and this minister will show how unessentially the features presented in its commencement have been varied in its progress. It will show also, that forgetting the respect due to all governments, he did not refrain from imputations on this, which required that no further communications should be received from him. The necessity of this step will be made
known to his Britannic majesty through the minister plenipotentiary of the U. States in London. And it would indicate a want of confidence due to a government which so well understands and exacts what becomes foreign ministers near it, not to infer that the misconduct of its own representative will be viewed in the same light, in which it has been regarded here. The British government will learn, at the same time, that a ready attention will be given to communications, through any channel which may be substituted. It will be happy, if the change in this respect should be accompanied by a favourable revision of the unfriendly policy, which has so long been pursued towards the United States.
With France, the other belligerent, whose trespasses on our commercial rights have long been the subject of our just remonstrances, the posture of our relations does not correspond with the measures, taken on the part of the U. States, to effect a favorable change. The result of the several communications made to her government, in pursuance of the authorities vested by congress in the executive, is contained in the correspondence of our ministers at Paris, now laid before you.
By some other belligerents, although possessing just and amicable disposition, injuries materially affecting our commerce have not been duly controlled and repressed. In these cases, the interpositions deemed proper on our part have not been omitted. But it well deserves the consideration of the Legislature how far both the safety and the honor of the American flag may be consulted, by adequate provisions against that collusive proliferation of it by individuals unworthy of the American name, which has so much favored the real and pretended suspicions, under which the honest commerce of their fellow citizens has suffered.
In relation to the powers on the coast of Barbary, nothing has occurred which is not of a nature rather to inspire confidence than distrust, as to the continuance of the existing amity. With our Indian neighbors, the just and benevolent system, continued towards them, has also preserved peace, and is more and more advancing habits favorable to their civilization and happiness.
From a statement which will be made by the Secretary of War, it will be seen that the fortifications on our maritime frontier are in many of the ports completed; affording the defence which it was contemplated, and that a further time will be required to render complete the works in the harbor of New-York, and in some other places, by the enlargement of the works, and the employment of a greater number of hands at the public armories, the supply of small arms, of an improving quality, appears to be annually increasing, at a rate, that with those made on private contract, may be expected to go far towards providing for the public exigency. The act of Congress providing for the equipment of our vessels of war, having been fully carried into execution, I refer to the statement of the Secretary of the Navy for the information which may be proper on that subject. To that statement is added a view of the transfers of appropriations, authorized by the act of the session preceding the last, and of the grounds on which the transfers were made.
Whatever may be the course of your deliberations on the subject of our military establishments, I should fail in my duty in not recommending to your serious attention, the importance of giving to our militia, the great bulwark of our security, and resource of our power, an organization the best adapted to eventual situations for which the U. States ought to be prepared.
The sums which had been previously accumulated in the treasury, together with the receipts during the year ending on the 30th of September last (and amounting to more than nine millions of dollars) have enabled us to fulfil all our engagements, and to defray the current expenses of government without recurring to any loan. But the insecurity of our commerce, and the consequent diminution of the public revenue, will probably produce a deficiency in the receipts of the ensuing year, for which and for other details, I refer to the statements which will be transmitted from the treasury.
In the state which has been presented, of our affairs with the great parties to a disastrous and protracted war, carried on in a mode equally injurious and unjust to the United States, as a neutral nation, the wisdom of the national legislature will be again summoned to the important decision of the alternatives before them. That there will be met in a spirit, worthy the councils of a nation, conscious both of its rectitude and of its rights, and careful as well of its honors as of its peace, I have entire confidence. And that the result will be stamped by an unanimity becoming the occasion, and be supported by every portion of our citizens with a patriotism enlightened and invigorated by experience, ought as little to be doubted.
In the midst of the wrongs and vexations experienced from external causes, there is much room for congratulation from the prosperity and happiness flowing from our situation at home. The blessing of health has never been more universal. The fruits of the seasons, though in particular articles and districts short of their usual redundancy, are more than sufficient for our wants and our comforts. The face of our country every where presents the evidence of laudable enterprise, of extensive capital, and of durable improvement. In a cultivation of the materials, and the extension of useful manufactures, more especially, in the general application to household fabrics, we behold a rapid diminution of our dependence on foreign supplies. Nor is it unworthy of reflection that this revolution in our pursuits and habits is in no slight degree a consequence of those impolitic and arbitrary edicts by
which the contending nations, in endeavoring each of them to cut off our trade with the other, have so far abridged our means of procuring the productions and manufactures, of which our own are now taking the place.
Recollecting always, that for every advantage which may contribute to distinguish our lot, from that to which others are doomed by the unhappy spirit of the times we are indebted to that Divine Providence whose goodness has been so remarkably extended to the rising nation, it becomes us to cherish a devout gratitude, and to implore from the same omnipotent source a blessing on the consultations and measures about to be undertaken for the welfare of our beloved country.
JAMES MADISON.
KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE.
House of Representatives.
MONDAY, Dec. 11.
Agreeable to a law passed at the last session, the Legislature of this State convened at the Capitol this day.
Mr. William Logan was unanimously elected speaker of the house of representatives, and conducted to the chair, from whence he made acknowledgements for the honor conferred by such appointment, and recommended the observance and preservation of order and decorum.
Mr. Thomas Daugherty, was unanimously elected clerk.
Mr. Richard M. Cano was unanimously elected sergeant-at-arms, and Mr. Roger Divine door-keeper to the house.
TUESDAY, Dec. 12.
This day at 11 o'clock the Excellency Governor Scott delivered, by Mr. Secretary Bledsoe, to both branches of the Legislature, the following MESSAGE:
GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE, AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
AMONGST the various duties assigned by the constitution, to the executive of the state, none seems to claim more importance than that which associates him in your legislative councils, and it is ever with a proportionate degree of prudence I proceed to the task. Whilst the part in the immediate acts of legislation is very limited, there appears to devolve on him a more extensive charge on the present occasion, for he is required to lay before you the state of the commonwealth together with those subjects which seem more immediately to call your attention. It cannot however but be expected, that in a communication of this kind, from a number of causes, many subjects deserving your notice, will be omitted; and it rests with you, Gentlemen, not only to supply those which may be omitted, but to decide upon those presented for your deliberation.
Gentlemen of the Senate, And House of Representatives;
It was once since the last session of our General Assembly, fondly to be hoped that we should have been able at this period, to have facilitated our country and each other upon the amicable settlement of our differences with Great Britain. The solemn assurances of her minister-president, to the executive of the U. States, which appeared to fix the basis of a friendly arrangement; by which the President was induced to suspend the operation of our non-intercourse act; suffer the British ports to be filled with our productions; and permit our property to an immense amount to be set afloat on the ocean; have eventuated in a disavowal on the part of that government, and have afforded another striking instance, that we cannot look for safety in British faith. We seem to have, also but a small prospect of the restoration of a friendly commercial intercourse with France: The obnoxious decrees of both those powers, seem to have reduced our commerce to little more than a name, and there is from our sea-board scarcely a port or high sea in the world, where we are not liable to be captured or despised, by one or the other, unless we submit to terms unworthy an independent nation. We seem finally to be reduced to the necessity, of retreating within ourselves, from the injuries and depredations of a warring world, until the interests of the belligerents shall teach them to respect our maritime rights; or to commit ourselves on an element where we are incapable of any effectual resistance, to be humiliated and controlled at their pleasure. One other alternative only, presents itself, and fortunately, though it has advocates, they are not numerous; that is to plunge ourselves into the vortex of those bloody conflicts which shake Europe to her centre, and cling to the skirts of one or the other of those tremendous powers, which for years have kept her in arms. When we do this, we bid a solemn adieu to republican institution. We have but the other hand to give up only, the luxuries of other nations for the sweets of independence and self government. The people who could not do it with the country and resources we possess, are unworthy the divine birthright of freedom. Our brethren of the Eastern and Atlantic states, who are supposed to feel more severely the pressure of commerce, appear to have become convinced of the maxim, that one step in retaliation prepares the way for another; and that it is better to submit to what may prove only a temporary inconvenience than to lasting and disgraceful imposition. For I rejoice to inform you that amid all the difficulties which surround the administration of the general government, its friends in several states have lately increased the former great majority. And surely it cannot but be distressing to every friend to his country to see an American citizen become the apologist of any nation who violates our plainest rights. The state of agriculture and home manufactures, appears to be fast progressing in improvement throughout the union, and it is pleasing to find that our state bids fair, to hold no inconsiderable rank in the scale. In
several states, legislative patronage, in the establishment of agricultural and manufacturing societies, has been afforded, and it were much to be desired, that institutions of a similar nature could take the rise here. These may be said to generate and cherish the life-blood of a free nation. Nature in her profuse munificence has given to us the materials of our comfort and independence within ourselves, and invites us to use them. It is a consoling observation, that for the same time, perhaps no country upon the earth, has exhibited, and still continues to do so, such an astonishing progress in improvements of almost every description, as this state. They are sure indications of our prosperity, and if the idle or extravagant complaint of their lot, the most abundant evidence, nevertheless, exists to shew we ought to be happy.
But, Gentlemen, the unwary most frequently lose their treasure. It is scarcely in the nature of man to see the prosperity of his neighbor, without some degree of envy, some attempt to snare and frequently what is worse, to wrest from him his enjoyments—Appeals to justice and humanity are still more impotent with nations than individuals.—A fatal spirit of indolence in one respect, has seized upon us; and while basking in the sunshine, we think not of the tempest. Our ARMS must they be defended.—It is the order of nature and of fate. It would therefore be well for us as we value our rights and our existence occasionally to review their strength. We have yet to learn to make our citizens soldiers, by giving them weapons and discipline, and having a sufficient portion of their strength actually disposable in a moment of emergency. It is much to be regretted that our general government which has it more completely in its power, does not act more efficiently upon this primary national object. It has the means to command arms, and power to establish discipline; the want of both of which, I greatly fear will not soon be remedied on the present plan. To a great extent they appear at present to be the business of the states. It appears to me that there are several radical errors in the military establishment of our state. The Adjutant General should reside at the seat of government; some more effectual means should be provided to compel the proper returns, and to punish those officers who fail in mustering and disciplining their men, as well as to ensure the stated reviews. But above all, in times like the present especially, a competent number of militia should be kept detached, organized, armed and equipped, ready for service on any emergency. For it is a melancholy proof of our weakness, six months after the general government made a demand for our quota of the late corps of militia, directed to be held in readiness at a moments warning; to find one half of the returns not made out, and of the number returned not one fifth armed, or prepared for service. From the situation of our affairs it seems highly probable, that a requisition of the militia will shortly be made, and the state ought to have at least 10,000 stand of arms to supply demands. These should be procured as early as possible.
Gentlemen of the Senate, And of the House of Representatives;
Our civil establishment seems also to demand your attention. In a government like ours, the public weal alone, and not the interest of individuals, should be consulted in the creation of officers, and annexing to the salaries. The latter should bear a just proportion to the importance of the services they are intended to recompense, and be adequate in reason, to insure their performance in the most beneficial manner to the public. It is in vain to expect important public offices will continue to be filled, by able and upright men, if they are insufficiently paid. It is a truth which all experience tends to demonstrate, and of which the people will be convinced, that if they require to be served by able hands, they must hold out a sufficient inducement: For in political as well as in common life, master workmen are not to be employed for journeyman's wages—and although some, who may deserve a better reward, may fill them for a while, they will finally turn out from them with disgust. This truth has been strongly evidenced by the many vacancies which have lately happened through resignations in our court of Appeals, one of the highest offices in our government, of immediate consequence to the property and rights of our whole body of citizens, and to fill which ought to be an object with men of the first talents and standing: And yet such has been the difficulty of procuring a fit person to accept of the office of a judge in that court, that I have, from a sense of duty, been induced to leave it vacant until the meeting of the legislature, that they might have it more completely in their power to remedy this evil.
Gentlemen of the House of Representatives;
The state of our revenue has long required attention. The burthens of the people in the imposing of taxes is peculiarly confided to you. They should ever be as light as the exigencies of government will permit; and too much regard cannot be had to a faithful and judicious appropriation. But the exercise of this trust, like every other, has its extremes.—No reasonable man in our country would refuse his mite, if he were convinced of obtaining an equivalent good. A firm and faithful adherence to this end, on the part of his representative, will finally produce that conviction.—For the people when properly informed are never wrong; though for the moment they may, by the designing or ambitious, be prejudiced or misled. That man who in the discharge of his duty, as a public servant, is faithful to what he views as the solemn interest of his constituents, if he has the virtue of patience, may assure himself of their ultimate approbation; and what is of infinite consequence, of the continued approbation of his own conscience. Against these, the momentary chidings of responsibility, weigh but as a feather.
With a proper management of our resources we are certainly able to support with credit and advantage to our state, the expenses of its government, without distressing its citizens. A just and sound
policy has ever dictated that the burthen of taxation should be made to bear as lightly as possible on the shoulders of the poor, by exempting articles of the first necessity.
The state has borrowed of the bank, since the 26th January last, $19,796 60, and although this sum during the last month has been repaid, it will, for the time of the loan, make a difference of upwards of 12 per cent per annum at the lowest against the state, because it is paying interest instead of receiving interest on the amount. The state funds intended for a capital in the bank if regularly vested and left undiminished, will no doubt, in a few years, furnish the means of effecting many valuable public objects, and it should require an extreme case, to justify a resort to them for the ordinary expenses of government. Gentlemen of the Senate, And House of Representatives;
By a late communication from the secretary of the United States, a commissioner is required to be appointed on the part of this State, by its executive, to act in conjunction with one appointed by the President, in holding a treaty with the Chickasaw Indian nation, for the purpose of extinguishing their remaining claim to certain lands in the southwestern part of this state. I felt unauthorised to make such appointment, without an act of the legislature to that effect. As I have reason to believe the commissioner on the part of the United States is waiting in readiness to proceed to the treaty, which is extremely likely to be desired by this state, I trust you will, as early as convenient, turn your deliberations to this subject.
I have to regret, gentlemen, my inability, from the unfortunate hurt I received last winter, to be present among you. Although deprived of this pleasure I shall, nevertheless, be prepared cordially to co-operate with you in any measure for promoting the welfare of my fellow citizens.
I am aware however candid the disclosures I have made, or proper the measures I have recommended, may appear to some, a difference of opinion may yet exist. The habits of my life have unfitted me at all times, for disguise, but it would be an abandonment of a duty, I prefer to life itself, to be guilty of it here.
My aim has been, and still is, my country's happiness—I am liable to err in the means—As the prospect of my early reward, must soon close upon me, I confide in the hope, that you gentlemen, and my countrymen with you, will do justice to the motives by which they are dictated.
I am, gentlemen, With the highest considerations of respect, Your most obedient servant, CHARLES SCOTT.
From the National Intelligencer of the 24th Novmber.
The paper denominated the "Circular" which Mr. Jackson the British minister, has just uttered, is an appeal to the people of the United States from the decision of their government. The fact is established by the commission of the production, the statement of particulars in which was altogether unnecessary, if his object had merely been to notify the sub-agents of England resident in this country to add their communications to him at New-York.
It is contrary to the law of nations and repugnant to the very nature of the diplomatic function, for a foreign envoy to plead, in his official character, the merits of his cause before the citizens of the country in which he resides. There can be no dispute as to the impropriety of addressing them in a direct or indirect form, in person or by 'Circular' because he is prohibited by the attributes of his mission from accepting them as a minister in any form. Mr. Jackson is the representative of the government of Great Britain to the government of the U. States; and that is all he is. If he speaks to the American people in any other manner than thro' the Executive, which is the constitutional organ, he sets himself up as the rival of the executive and is justly censureable. The tradition from address the public to intriguering with the people against the government by which he is accredited, is easy, & the manifest tendency of his conduct in either case is to subvert the constitutional authorities of the public.—If Mr. Jackson were a private man, he would have no right to controvert and denounce the acts of the President, because he is an alien, and therefore not even a litary unit of the constitution part of the nation; much less is he justifiable, being a minister, in using that freedom, which belongs only to the citizen.
Could Mr. Jackson himself be willing to abide the consequences of an appeal thus made, admitting the worst that could be but which certainly will not happen? Supposing the community to be indignant at his behaviour, and excited to anger against him, would he be willing to meet the terrible judgment of that people whom he had made the arbiter of his actions? Would he be willing to encounter that spirit of vengeance which he had invited, and which, when roused, is as terrible as the thunder of Heaven and overwhelming as the tumultuous waves of the ocean? Would he not require from the Executive-magistrate, whom he insults, protection; and would he not demand security and safe conduct in the name of those laws of nations which he has outraged.
Mr. Jackson claims consideration as a envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary.—In that respect he is entitled to various important exemptions from restraint, which are denied to private men. In return, he is himself subject to certain restrictions from which individuals are free; and if he breaks through, then he is guilty in relation to the government as the government would be in relation to him, were it to infringe any of his privileges for the rights of government and those of ministers are mutual. The determination of Mr. Jackson's 'Circular' is a gross infraction of the obligations imposed upon him by the nature of his office.
The circulation of the paper in question by Mr. Jackson, even in manuscript, was a publication of it. Its appearance in print is only an aggravation of the

original offence. The opposition gazette in which it came forth, affords strong evidence in favor of the opinion that it went to press immediately from himself, or immediately through his agents. In either case the misdemeanor is the same; for, let the channels of communication to the public or to the printer have been what they may, the 'circular' is the production of the honorable Francis James Jackson.
This act of Mr. Jackson is more conspicuously odious, because it proceeds from the ambassador of a nation whose parliamentary history furnishes an exalted example of just resentment against a similar appeal, from the sovereign to the subjects of the British monarchy. It was Monsieur De Palm, the imperial resident at London, who afforded an odious parallel to Mr. Jackson. Palm had caused a memorial, which he had previously presented to the British king, to be printed and circulated among the people of England; and this being considered by the parliament an unlawful interference on the part of a sovereign envoy the houses of commons and lords passed several resolutions reprobating the conduct of Palm in very severe terms, 'declaring their utmost abhorrence of this audacious manner of appealing to the people!' and voted an address to George the first, assuring him that the parliament would stand by and support him against the disturbances of the public tranquility, as well as against those who flattered themselves with hopes that an obstinate perseverance of their destructive measure could stagger the firmness of the British nation in the defence of their rights and privileges. The circumstances of this case will be found recorded in the journals of the proceedings of the House of Commons for the year 1726, a period at which the English parliament was a more legitimate organ of the feelings and sentiments of their fellow subjects than at present. The Lords and Commons both viewed the case in its true light, the insult thus offered the government, was, in reality, an insult to the whole estate, and every person who respected the constitution of the country were bound to repel it. The doctrine of ministerial appeals to the people has never been popular in the United States. Gennet tried the experiment, and met with nothing but indignant contempt from the citizens of America.
HUME.
NASHVILLE, Nov. 24.
Arrived here a few days since, Capt. Boote, aide-camp to General Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, together with a Captain and two Lieutenants of Artillerists. We understand that Gen. Hampton is hourly expected at this place, on his way to the Mississippi territory, by order of the president of the United States, to take the command of the army. General Wilkinson is to repair immediately to the city of Washington, for what purpose we have not been able to find out, unless we take for granted the reports which have been published abroad, that he is to be arraigned for disobedience of orders in not removing the army up to Washington, Mississippi territory, immediately after the order was given, and sundry other charges.
Extract of a letter from Norfolk, dated November 18.
The French armed sch. Tilt, mounting 18 guns, has arrived in Hampton Roads from Bayonne, in a passage of 43 days. She "is said to be a National Vessel, and to bring dispatches for General TURBEAU Four or five of her Officers are in town; but I understand that they have not any news or news papers. The sch. is stated to be destined for Baltimore, but the wind being directly adverse prevents her from proceeding."
A letter from Liverpool, dated Oct. 20th by the Hercules says, "We have just received intelligence that the Spanish government have ordered the British troops and vessels to depart from their territory and harbours immediately. No reason assigned for this measure."
[Philadelphia Gazette]
Extract of a letter, dated
HALIFAX, Nov. 14.
A ship and brig from Baltimore for Tonnungen, have been detained, and sent in for adjudication. The brig and cargo are condemned, and we suspect the ship will share the same fate. The grounds of this condemnation was, certificates of origin having been found on board."
[The ship is probably the Susquehanna.]
These are decisions of a novel kind. Gentlemen interested in the operation of the principle inform us, that it is to be presumed these decisions will be reversed in England. But are the cases not embraced by the orders in Council?
Another letter from Halifax, Nov. 14, says, "a number of vessels from the U. S. bound to Tonnungen, have been brought in and seven have already been condemned." Prices, tar 4 dolls. flour 8, rice 4 to 4 25.
Very Late from England.
From the N. York Gazette, Nov. 24.
The boat belonging to the New-York Gazette came up last night from the fast sailing ship HERCULES, Capt. Vose, in 31 days from Liverpool.
To Mr. Johnston, of Baltimore, we are indebted for London Papers down to the 19th ult. It will be seen by the extracts which follow, that Peace is concluded between France and Austria—That Mr. Percival is Prime Minister of England, and Lord Bathurst is Minister of Foreign Affairs in place of Mr. Canning—That Par-
liament was further prorogued to the beginning of Dec.—That Champagne was written another Letter to Mr. Armstrong, proposing, that if England would cease to blockade the ports of France, she would retract her orders against England, &c. See the Letter.
Letters from Holland state, that the French have prohibited the exportation of wheat—Licences had been granted in England for the importation of wheat from the Continent.
The ship Horace from Boston, with John Quincy Adams on board, passed Elsinore Sept. 29. She was, notwithstanding the importance of her charge, obliged by the Danes to pay Sound Dues before she could proceed to St. Petersburg.
The market in England for our products was good—The scarcity of vessels in England, induced the government to release 800 transports.
Nothing new had occurred in England relative to America—Mr. Pinkney had no despatches to send by the Hercules.
LONDON, Oct. 16.
We have made some further extracts from the German papers to the 7th inst. received on Saturday. The treaty of peace between Sweden and Russia, was signed on the 17th at Fredericksham, and its ratification is to be exchanged at Petersburg within four weeks. The king of Sweden has engaged by it to exclude all English vessels, of every description from his ports, but has reserved to himself the importation of salt and colonial produce. He has also surrendered to Russia the whole Swedish territories on the east of the Gulph of Bothnia, as far as Tornea, including Tavastland, Finland Proper, East Bothnia, &c. together with the isle of Aland, the Western frontier of Russia being in future to be bounded by Aland Raff, the straight between Sweden and the isle of Aland, the Bothnian Gulph, and the rivers Tornea and Muonio, to the confines of Norway. These conditions are not merely humiliating, on account of the great extent of territory thus severed from the crown of Sweden, but because they are destructive of the security and independence of what is left to it; as, from the moment the surrendered provinces are organized, and properly reduced under the subjection of Russia, it will be in her power at any time, to penetrate into the very heart of Sweden Proper, by an invasion by sea from Aland, co-operating with the force marching by land along the coast from Tornea. The king of Sweden feels and admits that these conditions are humiliating and degrading; but he says, that the exhausted state of the country did not warrant the hope of favourable terms, and that for what is left to it, the nation is indebted to the late revolutions which placed him on the throne.
Oct. 18.—Dispatches were received yesterday, at the Foreign Office, from Flushing.—We understand the sickness of our troops is decreasing, and that the building of barracks, and other measures for the retention and protection of the island, was in full activity. Government had issued orders for replacing buoys at the entrance of the Scheldt.
We understand that Mr. Robert Dundas Saunders arrived in town yesterday to attend the Levee this day, when he will be presented with the seals of the war department.
We understand Mr. Cook, late under Secretary of State to Lord Castlereagh, is to succeed Mr. Huskinson, as Secretary to the Treasury.
A strange rumour was in circulation yesterday, to which we are not disposed to give the least credence, that Marquis V. Besley had received instructions to leave Seville, and to proceed to Madrid, Bayonne and Bordeaux, to Paris, to terminate a negotiation already commenced for the re-establishment of peace between France and this country. We believe this rumour to have been propagated for stock-jobbing purposes.
PEACE
Between France and Austria.
We have received Moniteurs to the 14th inst. Peace between France and Austria, was signed at Vienna on the 3d inst. This event was officially announced to the inhabitants on the 10th by the firing of cannon, ringing of bells and other demonstration of joy. Besides the statements in the Dutch Gazette, Government have received a confirmation of the event in dispatches from the commander of our troops at Walcheren. Several corroborating accounts had reached that island, and on the 14th the batteries and gun-boats at Zandich Zea fired a feu-de-joy on the occasion. The terms of the treaty have not transpired; but as the peace is denominated 'glorious' for France, we may presume that they are humiliating to Austria. The principal obstacle in the progress of the negotiation, we understand, arose from the reluctance of the Emperor Francis to give up Spalatro to the French. This however, he has at length not only consented to do, but has greatly enhanced the merit of his compliance, by the cession of the whole of Dalmatia. Spalatro is an acquisition of great importance to Bonaparte, with a view to future maritime efforts. It is a capacious and secure harbour, contiguous territory which abundantly supplies the chief materials for the constructions of fleets. The possession of this port, and the island of Corfu, will give him the full command of the Adriatic Sea.
Oct. 19.—Of the actual conclusion of a treaty of peace between France and Austria there is no doubt. It is singular, however, that it has not been announced to us by rejoicings on the French coast; and that it is not mentioned in the Royal Contract (the official paper) of the 11th inst. which is printed at Amsterdam, though the intelligence is said to
have reached that town on the preceding day. The rates from Holland to the Low are also silent on the subject.
There are some notes in the Paris Moniteur, on an article in a London ministerial journal, upon Lord Wellington's retreat. They contain, in the same line of argument as those which we have already noticed, that Victor was wrong in going to battle to the British army at Talavera, and that he ought to have amused until Sault, whose army amounted to fifty thousand, had advanced and occupied the passes of the Tagus in the British rear. The result, the Moniteur contends, would have been the total destruction of the British army. This observation we fear, is too well founded.
At the Levee yesterday, it was resolved to prorogue Parliament from the 2d of Nov. to the beginning of Dec. It thus appears that it is not intended that it should meet until after Christmas. Some persons think that Mr. Percival will attempt a Negotiation in the meantime.
It is rumoured by the treaty with France, that the Emperor Francis gives up Carniola, Carniola, Styria, Istria, and upper and Lower Austria, together with Presburg—that he also abandons Galicia, and consents to relinquish his title of Emperor of Austria, thus reserving to himself only Hungary and Bohemia.
Price of Stocks—Consols, 67 7-8-8—Reduced 68 1-8.
Oct. 18.—The public are at length awakened from the vain and delusive hope, so fondly cherished by the War-Faction—the tribe of Loan-mongers—the Remitters—the Money-changers—the Contractors—the Pedlars—the Slop-sellers—the Provision merchants—the Cotton merchants—and their vocal mouth pieces and trumpeters—The Times—The Post—The Courier—and the other hireling scribbles of Lloyds and Whitehall. Of Peace between France and Austria we never doubted; nor did we ever hesitate to avow an opinion which seemed so entirely consistent with probability. Where, now are, the warlike preparations—the cunning—the diplomatic delay, of Austria; the renewed contest for the last state of Germany, with which, not ten days ago, the spirits of the War-Faction were elated by the London News papers—those pure fountains of Truth and Probability? Will the unity of Further contest with France ever reach the minds of the 'true believers' of these sapient articles! We greatly fear that there is more of the wilful than of mental blindness in the political commercial War Junta—Manomet proclaimed the doctrines of bluster by the sword; but for England it was reserved, in the 19th Century, to propagate commerce by the same gentle and persuasive argument.
The following summary is from Portuguese Papers to the 27th of last month.
Viveva was at Carolina on the 8th, with 25,860 infantry; the cavalry in La Mancha, Romana arrived at Badajoz on the 14th of Sept. and proceeded on the 16th to Seville. The army of Galicia was shortly expected at Ciudad Rodrigo.
The French who occupied Corio have retreated into the interior of Spain. Ney's army is in Salamanca—that of Soult consists of 8000 men, and its head-quarters in Piacenza. Gen. Mortier has 10,000 men, and his head-quarters were at Talavera, on the 10th of Sept. Victor has 20,000 men, and his head-quarters are at Toledo. Sebastiani has 10,000 men, & his head-quarters are at Ciudad Rodrigo.
The head-quarters of the English army are at Badajoz—an advance division is at Lobon—and another at Merida. The bridge of Alcantara is defended by only 800 men. The Duke de Parque, with a considerable force, has occupied Ciudad Rodrigo, where the army of Galicia is shortly expected.
On the first of September, Geronia was recovered by the arrival of 6000 beasts with provisions and ammunition, conveyed by 6000 men. The fire again Geronia was ceased.
The expectations of the Spaniards are high, and their language as usual, confident and lofty—but Napoleon, at length released from his labours in Germany, may naturally be expected very shortly in Madrid—that reinforcement from France are pouring into Spain, through the Pyrenees, is folly to doubt; and judging of the future by the past, we apprehend, that ere the present year concludes, the probability of success by the universal Spanish Nation will be no longer credited, even at Lloyds.
FRENCH AND DUTCH PAPERS.
Amsterdam Oct. 11.—His Majesty yesterday received the hanging article of peace between Austria and France was signed on the 3d of last month, and announced.
This happy event has been announced to-day to the inhabitants of the capital by discharges of artillery, which have been repeated many times during the day. The Royal flag was also hoisted in token of rejoicing.
According to the latest reports, Lieut. Col. de Tabor, aide-camp to Marshall Dumont-durieu, has with a detachment of chasseurs, driven the enemy, who were in North Beveland, made five sailors prisoners, and burnt two canoes.
The Royal fleet under the command of Marshall Vachula, which has been in sight of the enemy since the seventh of this month, under the sand creek, has reconnoitred as far as Sloc. (Leyden Gazette Oct. 13.)
Antwerp, Oct. 3.—The night between the 29th of last month spread terror throughout the English position. The whole English squadron was in motion, and a 74 gun ship got a ground. The following day she was taken in tow by a frigate, and brought afloat. In the afternoon she was surrounded by a number of small armed vessels. Several of the persons who were wrecked, succeeded in saving themselves in the island of Oudsand. This Climate of the island Walcheren proves so destructive to the English, that in the sole burying ground of the city of Flushing, 513 graves have been dug, containing each, 4 soldiers, and 19 graves for officers.
Royal Amsterdam Gazette. Oct. 19.—The terms of peace between Austria and France are variously reported, but have not yet been suffered by government to transpire. It is believed that they are in possession of more specific information than the public has yet received, as their agents do not scruple to admit that the terms are believed to be most humiliating for Austria. A few days will probably put us in possession of the heads of the treaty.
One report on this subject is, that the pertinacious refusal of the Emperor Francis to yield the maritime town of Spalatro, was the cause of the protraction of the negotiation. The harbor of this place is good, and certainly is an acquisition of some value to the French—but if, as by some believed, Austria has conceded even her capital, it is difficult to account for a comparatively inferior object having retarded the conclusion of the arrangement. We doubt the fact, and we forbear to state the reports on the subject of the great extent of Territory ceded by Austria, as we readily apprehend the truth to be unknown—consequently what is asserted may be deemed mere conjecture.—The renunciation of the title of Emperor of
Austria is asserted to have been stipulated as a natural consequence of the cession of Upper and Lower Austria. From the great length to which the negotiation was protracted, we anticipate more favorable terms for Austria, than is generally believed to have been granted.
MR. CHAMPAGNY'S LETTER. Letter of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of France, M. Champagny, to Gen. Armstrong, Minister of the United States at Paris.
Altenburg, Aug. 22.
Sir—His Majesty, understanding that you are about to dispatch a ship to the United States, commands me to make known to you the unalterable principles which have and will regulate his conduct in the great question respecting neutrals.
France admits the principle; that the flag protects trade. The trading vessel which carries the license of its Government, may be considered as a moving colony; to insult such a vessel by search, pursuit, or any act of arbitrary power, is a violation of the fundamental law of colonization, and is an attack upon the government of the same. The seas belong to every nation, without exception: they are the common property and the domain of all mankind.
Consistently with this doctrine, merchant vessels belonging to individuals may pass by inheritance to persons who never exposed themselves to be made prisoners of war. In all her conquests, France has considered sacred private property deposited in the ware houses of the vanquished State, and such have had the complete disposal of matters of trade; and at this moment convoys by land of merchandise, and especially cottons, are passing through the French army and Austria to the destination commerce directs. If France had seized the monopoly of the Seas, she would have accumulated in her territory all the products on the earth, and she would have obtained immeasurable wealth.
Undoubtedly, if England had the dominion of land which she has acquired of the ocean, her acquisitions would have been equally enormous. She would, as in the times of barbarism, have sold the conquered, and distributed them as slaves throughout the land. The avarice of trade would have absorbed every thing, and she Government of an enlightened nation, which has brought the arts of civilization to perfection, would have given the earliest instances of the return of the savage ages. That Government is fully impressed with the injustice of its naval code. But what has that government to do with justice, which only enquires for profit.
When France shall have established her naval power, which, with the extent of coasts and her population, will be soon accomplished, then will the emperor reduce these principles to practice, and apply his mandate to render them universal. The right, or rather the usurpation of blockading rivers and coasts by proclamation, is palpably contrary to reason and equity. A right cannot possibly spring from the will of an interested party, but must always be founded on the natural relation of things. A place is not properly blockaded, unless it be besieged by land and water. It is blockaded to prevent the introduction of assistance, by which the surrender of the place might be protracted; and then we have only the right to prevent neutral ships from entering the port, when the place is thus circumstanced, and the possession of it is matter of doubt between the besiegers and the besieged. On this is grounded the right to prevent neutrals from entering the place.
The sovereignty and independence of its flag, like the sovereignty and independence of its territory, are the property of every neutral. A state may transfer itself to another state; it may destroy the archives of its independence, and pass from prince to prince; but the right of sovereignty is indivisible; no one can renounce it.
England has placed France in a state of blockade. The emperor has, in his decree of Berlin, declared the British islands in a state of blockade. The first of these regulations forbid neutral vessels to proceed to France; the second prohibited their entering English harbours.
England has, by her orders of council of the 11 of November, 1807, levied an impost on neutral ships, and obliged them to enter its ports before they sail to France. By the decree of the 17th of December of the same year, the emperor has decreed, that all such ships be denationalized which had entered English ports, or submitted to be searched.
In order to ward off the inconveniences with which this state of things threatened her commerce, America
laid an embargo in all her harbours; and although France had done nothing more than used the right of retaliation, its wants and those of its colonies, suffered much from this measure; yet did the emperor magnanimously connive at the proceeding, in order rather to endure the privation of commerce, than to acknowledge the authority of the usurpers of the seas.
The embargo was raised, and a system of non-intercourse was substituted for it. The powers on the continent in alliance with England, having the same object in view, made it common cause with her, that they might derive the same advantages. The harbours of Holland, of the Elbe, of the Weser, of Italy, and of Spain, were to enjoy those benefits from which France was to be excluded; and the one and the other were to be opened or closed to commerce, as circumstances rendered expedient, so as France was bereft of it.
Thus, Sir, in point of principle, France recognizes the freedom of neutral commerce, and the independence of the maritime powers: which she respected up to the moment when the maritime tyranny of England, that respects nothing, and the arbitrary proceedings of its Government, compelled her to adopt measures of retaliation, to which she resorted with regret. Let England revoke her blockade of France, and France will recall her declaration of blockade against England. Let England revoke her Cabinet Orders of the 11th Nov. 1807, and the Milan Decree will expire of itself. The American commerce will then recover its complete freedom, and be assured of finding in the harbours of France favour and protection. But it belongs to the United States to attain this happy object by their firmness. Can a nation, resolved to remain free, hesitate between certain momentary interests, and the great cause of maintaining her independence, her honor, her sovereignty, & her dignity. (Signed) M. CHAMPAGNY.

She is supposed to be one or ten years old, and thought to be about fourteen and a half hands high—she trots and cuts well—she is not blemished that I recollect—she has on her near buttock a dark spot, and also a white one, very visible, and also a dark and white one on her off buttock not so large, and they are lower than the former ones—she has a long neck down her back—she has on her head the appearance of the polecat, but it is thought to be natural—she has on her off hind foot the appearance of a cord that some one has past her for a very much she went off shoe all round, with one of her hind shoes, broke and half of it lost—she has her bridle, stands with her feet close together, and often on tip-toe.

MISCELLANEOUS.
The following beautiful lines were written by THOMAS D'ARCY, the celebrated Irish genius, who, at the age of eight years, was an excellent poet, and Greek and Latin instructor in his father's school.
SWEET is the woodbine's fragrant twine; Sweet the ripe burthen of the vine; The pea-bloom sweet that scents the air; The rose bud sweet beyond compare; The perfume sweet of yonder grove;— Sweet the lip of her I love!
Soft the rich meadow's velvet green, Where cowslip tufts are early seen, Soft the young cygnet's snowy breast, Or down, that lines the linnet's nest; Soft the smooth plumage of the dove;— Softer the breast of her I love!
Bright is the star that opens the day, Bright the noon's refulgent ray; Bright on yon hill the sunny beam; Bright the blue mirror of the stream; Bright the gay twinkling fires above; Brighter the eyes of her I love!
To match one grace, with idle pain Through nature's stores I search in vain, All that is bright, and soft, and sweet, Does in her form concenter'd meet Then, Muse, how weak must thy power prove To paint the charms of her I love!
The following lines are supposed to have been written on the subject of a mutual affection and an interview between the lovers, the unfortunate Emmett and Miss Curran , prior to his death.
When he who adores thee, has left but the name, Of his fault and his sorrow behind, Oh! say wilt thou weep when they darken the same, O! life that for thee was resign'd? Yes, weep, and however my foes may condemn, Thy tears shall efface their decree, For heaven can witness, though guilty to them, I have been but too faithful to thee.
With thee were the dreams of my earliest love; Every thought of my reason was thine; In my last humbling prayer to the spirit above, Thy fame shall be mingled with mine! Oh! blest are the lovers and friends who shall live, The days of thy glory to see; But the next dearest blessing that heaven can give, Is the pride of thus dying for thee.
A FAREWELL. Oh! hush the soft sigh, maid, and dry the sweet tear, To this bosom thy image shall ever be dear; Of hope's pictur'd scenes, how the colours decay! And love's fairy scenes as soon melts away!
When its balm-breathing dew I delighted to sip, Did I think a farewell would escape from that lip? By honor commanded, though far I should roam, The loadstone of love will attract me to home.
At noon, when the rose's warm blush thou shalt see, Oh! think of the wreaths thou hast woven for me! At night, when the moon in mild splendour shall move, Oh! view that fair planet, and think how I love.
A FAT JURY.—At a court held in the county of Sampson, (N. C.) on the 25th October last, the weight of the 12 jurymen amounted to 2710 lbs. Two of them weighed 600, three 700, one 230 and the remaining six 1,180. As those gentlemen have long been residents in the county, we may form some idea of the healthiness of it, particularly as they were not selected on account of their size, which is thought moderate in that place.
A Quaker, in a dispute concerning the propriety of titles, said "Once I had the honor of being in company with an Excellency and an Highness. His Excellency was the most ignorant and brutal of his species; and his Highness measured just four feet eight inches without his shoes."
PATENT DOOR LOCK.
Samuel Goodwin has obtained a patent for a Lock, lately constructed by him, which, for strength and durability, far excels the generality of Locks now in use. It has been examined by Robert Patterson, Oliver Evans, and other gentlemen qualified to give a correct opinion of the utility of such inventions, and they have furnished him with the following certificate:
"We have carefully examined the patent Door Lock, lately invented by Samuel Goodwin, and are of opinion that for simplicity of structure, convenience and security, in the triple capacity lock, latch, and bolt, and probable durability, without getting out of repair, it far exceeds any thing of the kind we have heretofore seen."
Mr. Goodwin has made arrangements for manufacturing a number of these locks in this city, and has constituted Mr. J. Bradley his agent for the sale of them. We understand that Mr. Goodwin has been offered two thousand acres of Land for the exclusive right of making and selling his patent Door Locks in two of the States.

NAUTICAL IMPROVEMENT.
Sunday a boat of singular construction was employed in carrying passengers between New-York and Brooklyn, on the east river. It is 20 feet in length, and is sculled by two vertical wheels or four arms, inserted obliquely, (like the arms of a windmill) into a shaft on each side of the stern of the
boat, and moved by wheels turned by cranks with a man to each. The advantages of this invention are, (allowing that no velocity can be added without augmenting force) that the motion of the paddles or sculls is uniform and incessant, and therefore superior to the irregular starts of an oar, and all the room occupied by the oars in rowing is saved to the boat. The improvement it is presumed, is the subject of a patent; and the inventor is Mr. A. G. D. Tutill, of the city of New-York.

TO PRESERVE PUMPKINS, THROUGH THE WINTER AND SPRING.
When taken from the vine, open them and throw away the soft contents, which are found in their inside. Then cut them into small pieces, and dry them in the sun, or in an oven. Preserve them in a dry place. They may be either pounded or boiled, before they are used. Prepared in this manner, they make a cheap and excellent food for cattle, horses, and hogs. Many thousand dollars might be saved, in grain, to our farmers, and to our country, by the general use of this wholesome and nourishing food for domestic animals. They afford more nourishment, than the potatoe or the scarcity root, they are cultivated with less trouble and yield a much larger increase from the same labor.
Some very extraordinary instances of abstinence are recorded in medical works, but we do not recollect any, that in all respects can be compared with this—
"Ann Moore, aged 48, now living at Tutbury, in Staffordshire, has swallowed no kind of food whatever, either solid or fluid for the last two years and a half. Her appetite began to decline about seven years ago, in consequence of weak digestion, and in March, 1807, the passage to her stomach became completely closed, so as not to admit of her swallowing even a single drop of water; from the pit of her stomach downward she is a mere skeleton, notwithstanding which, her countenance is perfectly cheerful, and has the appearance of good health. So late as last Saturday she was visited by the writer of this article, and was then in excellent spirits, and felt no pain whatever, except a slight shooting across her forehead; she has been offered 1000L to visit the metropolis, and though poor, she declines leaving her home and friends. She never sleeps, but amuses herself by reading all night, and receiving the visits of vast numbers who daily flock to her humble roof. Her memory is amazingly retentive, and she feels no inconvenience but from the approach of persons who have been drinking spirits, which affects her much. Numerous medical men have gone from London, to behold this wonderful phenomenon, & on examination, are fully convinced, from her appearance that no imposition whatever has been practised."
[Morning Herald, Sept. 1.]
SWINDLING.—A. B. a native of the vicinity of Bolton, and of indolent parents, by trade a weaver, and of dissolute manners, while sitting in company at a publick house, fell into conversation with two strangers, who told him that a certain gentleman, a supposed native of Bolton, had lately died in their neighbourhood, to whose estate no heir could be found, and which, if not claimed in six months, would devolve to an old servant, according to the will of the deceased, "perhaps" says B. "it is my old uncle Mather?— 'Right,' replied the two gentlemen, "By G—d you are the heir to all;" the specious appearance of the strangers gained full credit to the tale; and numbers of the inhabitants thinking it a good speculation contributed towards the equipment of the indubitable heir, with decent clothes, and a sufficient sum of money, in order that he might undertake a journey to Gloucester, near which city the patrimony was said to lie. Accordingly he went the journey, and soon after returned, giving a splendid account of the hall and furniture, its vast hop yards, and also the sum of one hundred and twenty thousand pounds lodged in the bank at Gloucester. The news was spread; B. was dubbed Esq.; his children were sent to a boarding school, & numbers who would have disdained to have noticed an honest weaver, went to worship the newly-erected golden calf; in short Mr. B. was invited to dinners, and he also, in return, had his feasts and his friends: After B. had thus rioted on the credulity of his townsmen, they became impatient for the pay day. The 15th of last May was the time at which he was to enter upon his estate and he commenced his journey for that purpose. After long and anxious expectation of his return, it was suspected that he had taken a final farewell of Bolton. The conjecture proved true; for two gentlemen going in quest of the new Squire, found him a few days ago at work in a coal mine. The two imposters with whom the plot was concerted have not been discovered. The sums swindled from various persons are supposed to amount to 6000L. In millinery alone, in one year, 600L. was contracted.

PROPOSALS.
Gentlemen who wish to possess a copy of that invaluable work, LITTELL'S NEW EDITION OF THE STATUTE LAW OF KENTUCKY, will be furnished with the First Volume at Four Dollars, neatly bound and lettered, provided they subscribe for the whole. The second and third volumes will be charged at the same price, unless they should fall short of 600 pages each—in which case, a proportionate reduction will be made to subscribers. Each volume to be payable on delivery at the Book-Store or Printing Office of the publisher, in Frankfort, or at such places more convenient to the residence of the subscribers, where he may deposit their copies. Those who do not wish to subscribe, can be accommodated with single volumes at five dollars each. But should the subscription fill to the extent it is expected, the price to non-subscribers will be advanced. The publisher is convinced, that this is the cheapest law book printed in the United States, when the quantity of matter it contains is adverted to, without taking into view the editorial labor, which has been much more than is usually bestowed upon works of this nature. (The last edition of the Acts of Virginia (for instance) falls at five dollars per volume to subscribers, and six dollars to non-subscribers, and contains only 500 pages—the Maryland edition falls at five dollars to subscribers, and seven to non-subscribers. The first volume of this work commences with the government of Kentucky, and embraces the acts up to November session of 1797, inclusive; together with the Charter of Virginia—Proclamation of 1763—Act of cession to the United States of the territory North-West of Ohio—the Federal Constitution—the compact with Virginia—and both the Constitutions of this state—and contains in the whole, upwards of 770 pages. The second volume commences with the January session of 1798, and terminates with the session of 1801. In an appendix to this volume, such acts of Virginia as remain in force in this state, and were not necessarily connected with any general head contained in the work, are inserted. The last volume commences with the year 1802, and closes with the session of 1808. The edition will derive a peculiar value from the introduction of the Acts of Virginia and of Parliament in the state of Kentucky, which have never yet been published here. The compiler has also enriched the work with NOTES and OBSERVATIONS, which will be found of great service to the reader, in tracing the various changes and modifications of the law. The publisher is induced to open the subscription again, from a persuasion that many gentlemen in different parts of the state wish to patronize it, although their names were not forwarded him in time to be entered on his subscription list. Indeed little or no pains have been yet taken by the publisher to obtain subscribers, from a desire that the public should be able to judge for themselves whether the work deserved their patronage, before they were asked for it. With this view, the first volume is now published, and the strictest examination of it is invited. It has so far met the general and the unqualified approbation of every judge and gentleman of the bar to whom it has been shown. WILLIAM HUNTER. Frankfort Sept. 6, 1809.
