FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE
L O N D O N, December 3.
The affairs of Europe never wore a singular and even whimsical aspect as at present.
The Head of the house of Austria oppressing the Catholic Church; and the Catholic Church offering the riches of the Sacred Temples at the shrine of Liberty! The patriots of Holland refugees in Brabant, and the patriots of Brabant refugees in Holland! Prussia, the restraunt of Dutch, and hope of Flemish freedom! The great Protestant Alliance of England, Prussia, and Holland, considered as the shield of the most zealous Catholics in the world.
Jan. 7. The flame of liberty has at length reached even Rome, where the populace, headed by many of the most ancient families, have already demanded a municipal and free government. His holiness the pope was at Frescati, when our advices left Italy, but his return was fixed for Christmas eve when his categorical answer to the popular requisitions was looked for.
AMERICAN OCCURRENCES.
PHILADELPHIA April 15. Extract of a letter from Baltimore, dated March 20.
The French consul at this place says, he is credibly informed that the King of France has left Paris, and made his escape to Liege.
On Wednesday last was landed, from the ship Amsterdam packet a large quantity of dollars. The balance of trade formerly so much against us appears now to be in our favor. Instead of European vessels entering our ports loaded, and returning with the specie of our country, we now find them coming to us for loading, and bringing specie to pay for it.
L E X I N G T O N, June 7.
On the 3d of May last, Mr. John Gannet near the mouth of Cain run in Woodford County, lost a calf which was supposed to have gone into a Cave at the head of a spring; the Cave was examined some distance under ground, but as they proceeded the passage was obstructed by a large current of water, upon which he had a boat built and proceeded by water up the stream about three quarters of a mile, when they overtook the Calf, which they recovered, and brought down to the mouth again; They saw no appearance of an end to the passage, the aperture as large where they stopped as at any other place. They were provided with candles to see their way.
Kentucky Antiquity.
About 5 miles North Eastwardly from Lexington, on Elk Horn waters is a lead mine, which has been opened, and a very considerable quantity of Ore and stone thrown out. The vein of Ore is a North and South direction, and has been worked about 150 yards. The Ore and spar that was thrown up, is covered with earth ten or 12 inches deep; whether this earth was thrown on the ore and stone in order to secret it, or whether nature has formed the soil on the bank since the work was done, is a matter of doubt, as is also the time when the work was done, for it has an appearance, as any of the old fortifications, that are common to be found in this country.
Near this mine a large Conque shell was found a few years ago, which had never been used by any person as a blowing horn, as there was no opening from the outside to the small part of the spiral cavity.
