THE Kentucky Hotel.

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.

A FRESH SUPPLY OF LEE AND SON'S PATENT & FAMILY MEDICINES, RECEIVED AND FOR SALE BY SCOTT, TROTTER & CO. LEXINGTON. Lee's Worm-Destroying Lozenges. This medicine is superior to any ever offered to the public, being innocent and mild, certain and efficacious in its operations. Should no worms exist in the body, it will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. For the prevention and cure of bilious and malignant fevers, is recommended. Lee's Anti-Bilious Pills, Prepared by Richard Lee & Son, Baltimore. Persons willing to purchase this valuable medicine, are requested to be particular in enquiring for LEE'S anti-bilious pills, put up in wooden boxes, having on the outside wrapper, the signature of Richard Lee and Son—this is necessary, as there are pills of the same name. The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite—produce a fresh perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequence—a dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—fickleness at the stomach, and severe headaches—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate. They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman. Lee's Elixir, A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Catarrhs, Asthma, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumption. To parents who may have children afflicted with the Whooping-Cough, this discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time, entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 2. We have accounts here, that a Russian corps has crossed the Danube above Walachia, to join a Servian army of 40,000 men. All alarm of French insurrections amongst the Janissaries has subsided. Some days back, the Janissaries, as usual, received their pay and rice. The grand seignior very unexpectedly appeared on horseback at the distribution; a melis of rice was presented to him to taste; he did so, alighted, went about the barracks, and with particular condescension enquired about their grievances and promised their redress. This caused great surprise among the Janissaries who unanimously cried out, they demanded nothing but that the grand seignior (who was himself one of their own corps) would not suppress it.—The Sultan assured them he had no such design, but would only gradually reform their abuses; he exhorted them at the same time to obedience, and promised to continue them in his favor. This occasioned a general shout of joy, and they unanimously swore obedience to the Sultan. The Sultan then wished to know who had proposed raising an insurrection; they were immediately named, and by order of the grand seignior, 200 of them were immediately executed. The Aga of the Janissaries lost his place, and the captain Pacha, Said Ally, was sent into exile to Broussa, in Asia. All this happened with remarkable tranquility. May 4. —We fear that before a few months are expired, we shall see the Russians and Servians under the walls of the city.—It is believed too, that the Seymens (of new militia, formed after the European manner,) out of hatred to the Janissaries, who caused their dismissal, may unite with the enemy; however, the anarchy which prevails in all the provinces will probably cause the Russians to meet with little resistance.
ST. PETERSBURGH, April 25. In an appendix to our Court Gazette, stands the following:— “After repeated approximations to peace with the Ottoman Porte, which were however without effect, it was judged expedient to open negotiations with his plenipotentiary, in order to settle the basis of it. But just as the plenipotentiaries had reached the designated spot, intelligence was received that the Porte, contrary to her engagements, had formed a new alliance with a power hostile to us, and received an English ambassador. This intelligence revealed the principle of her conduct, and her wish, by negotiation, to gain time for preparations in order to carry on the war. “In consequence of this discovery, prince Prossorowski, commander in chief of the army of Moldavia, received orders to send an express to Constantinople, and announce to the Turkish government, that unless the English minister was dismissed within twenty-four hours, the armistice should be at an end, and hostilities renewed. “This proposal was rejected by the Porte, and the war began on the same day. “The first movement was to destroy Slobodschaj, a post of importance to the enemy, near the fortress Guirge, and the seizure of the ammunition and magazines in that fortress. This was carried into effect with the characteristic bravery of Russians; and on the 25th of March, lieut. gen. Milagadovitch sent the following dispatch to the commander in chief:— “The intrenchments of the fortress Guirge have been completely destroyed, notwithstanding the obstinate resistance of the enemy. Two pieces of cannon were captured, and the rest spiked. “Slobodschaj was taken and destroyed by col. Lopuchan. The powder magazine under the Bashiaw's house, with an arsenal in the house were blown up. From the magazines every thing possible was taken off, and the rest destroyed. Twenty-seven cannon of large caliber were spiked. The enemy also lost 32 standards. The booty was divided among the soldiery. “The enemy's loss was considerable, tho' it cannot yet be estimated. Our loss has been inconsiderable; but major general Stawizkie was killed by a cannon ball. “Colonel Grekow has brought over to our state about a thousand Turkish families.
HAMBURGH, May 10. The court of Denmark has refused to adjust her differences with Sweden, unless the latter will shut its ports against England.—Sir Samuel Hood, to prevent the seizure of English property, prevents all English vessels from entering Swedish ports. He will not suffer his officers to go on shore, nor does he venture himself. MERRI was not invited to attend the diet at Stockholm, and is about to return. Duroc has arrived at the latter place. The prince regent grants licences to England as usual.
BAYONNE, May 16. We hear to-day, by letters from Tuxillo, the head quarters of the duke of Belluno, (Victor) that dispatches had been received there from the central junta of Seville, addressed to his catholic majesty Joseph Napoleon, which were instantly forwarded to Madrid. It is understood that in the dispatches all the chiefs of the insurrection make an offer of submission. May 21.—Letters received this day by a courier, announce that the archduke of Belluno (Victor) has obtained another great victory over Cuesta's army. The strong position of Alcantara, on the Tagus, has also been taken by storm. At this place 5 or 6000 prisoners were made, and all the enemy's artillery was taken. The head-quarters of Cuesta are at Monesterio, 14 leagues from Seville. All the accounts we receive induce us firmly to believe, that the duke of Dalmatia (Ney) must by this time, have made himself master of Lisbon.
Yesterday, the 20th, the insurgents in the Asturias were to be attacked at all points, by three divisions which had penetrated into that province. The king of Spain left Madrid on the 13th or 14th for Aranjuez, and it is believed that he intends to go to Andalusia.
PARIS, May 23. Two decrees of the emperor Napoleon have just been published. They are both dated Ratibon, April 24. The first abolishes the Teutonic order in all the states of the confederation of the Rhine. All the property and dominions of that order are united to the princes in whose states the same may be included. The princes in whose states the same may be included. The princes to whom such of their subjects as are members of the order. From this favor are however excluded all who are in the present war against France, or the confederate states or who, since the declaration of war, have remained in the Austrian states. The territory of Mergentheim is united to the crown of Wurtemberg. The second decree confiscates all the property of priests and convents of the empire, and members of the teutonic order, who have not confirmed to the 7th and 31st articles of the act of confederation, but have served in civil or military capacities, under the Austrian government. One half of this property goes to the princes of the confederation, as an indemnification for the expenses of the war; the other half to the emperor Napoleon, to be applied partly to make good the charges of the war, and partly to pay the rewards given to the officers and soldiers who distinguished themselves during the present campaign.
JUNE 1. Accounts lately received from the army of the duke of Ragusa, (Marmont) state that the duke marched from Kun on the 27th of April, defeated several detachments of Austrian troops on the left bank of the Zermagna, arrived with the main body of his army on the 5th May, within 20 miles of the Zara, and was ready to put himself in motion in order to join the army.
JUNE 3. Gen. Suchet has taken the place of the Duke of Abrantes, (Junot) in the command of the 2d French corps in Spain, and has arrived at Saragossa. The French army of Italy, has effected its junction with the army of the Rhine. The emperor Napoleon enjoys continually the best health. The Austrian ambassador lately at Paris, has reached Strasburg on his way home, with his suite. Jerome Bonaparte is to command a French corps which is assembling at Erfurt. “From our imperial camp at Ratibon, April 24, 1809. “NAPOLEON, emperor, &c. &c. “Whereas, the ancient princes and counts of the empire, who, by virtue of the act of the Rhenish league, have ceased to be immediate princes and counts, ought, agreeably to the 7th and 31st articles of that act, to renounce the service of other powers than the confederated states or their allies, and to establish their residence with the confederated or allied states. “And whereas, a certain number of these have not only not conformed to those provisions, but have even placed themselves in a state of permanent revolt against us, and against the sovereigns of the confederation: “And whereas, it is principally owing to their intrigues that the people of the continent owe the renovation of hostilities: “And whereas, in order to consolidate the confederation of the Rhine, and cast out from its bosom every influence contrary to its prime interests, it is indispensable to dispossess the ancient princes and counts of the empire, who have taken advantage of the property they possessed within the states, to conspire with Austria against the confederation: “And whereas, considerations of deep policy command this measure as most fit to procure the re-establishment of public peace in Germany: “We have decreed, and do decree as follows: “Art. 1. Sequestration shall be put upon all the estates of the late princes and counts of the empire, and members of the Equestrian order, who have not conformed with the 7th and 31st articles of the act of the Rhenish league, and especially of those who continued to fill any employment, civil or military, in the service of Austria. “2 The estates shall be confiscated; to wit, one half for the benefit of the princes of the confederation of the Rhine, as an indemnity for the expenses of the war, and to indemnify their subjects on account of requisitions, expenses, and other losses occasioned by the war; and the other half for our benefit, both as an indemnity for the expenses of the war, and in order to reward the officers and soldiers of our army, who have rendered the greatest services in the course of the campaign.”
“NAPOLEON.” PROCLAMATION. Soldiers of the army of Italy— You have gloriously attained the end which I pointed out to you. Your sovereign has been witness to your junction with the grand army.—Surprised by a perfidious enemy before your columns had joined, you are obliged to retrace to the Adige. But when you received orders to march forward, you were in the memorable field of Arcola, and there you swore, by the names of our heroes, to triumph. You kept your word at the battles of St. Daniel, of Travis, of Coritz. You took by assault the forts of Malborghetto and Predel, and forced the division of the enemy, intrenched at Pevauld and Lavbach, to capitulate. You had not yet passed the Drave, and already twenty-five thousand prisoners, sixty pieces of cannon, and standards, had signified your valor. Afterwards the Drave, the Save, the Mhur, could not impede your march.—The Austrian column of Jelachich, which first entered Munich, which gave the signal for the massacres in the Tyrol, surrounded at St. Michael, fell beneath your bayonets, you have executed speedy justice on these shattered remains which had escaped the rage of the grand army. Soldiers, this Austrian army of Italy, which for a moment had polluted our provinces by its presence, which pretended to break my iron crown, beaten, dispersed, annihilated thanks to you, shall be an example of the truth of the motto—“God has given it to me, wo to him who touches it.” (Signed) NAPOLEON. By the emperor The prince of Neufchatel, Major-General of the army, ALEXANDER. Ebenfeld, May 27, 1809. IMPERIAL HEAD QUARTERS, Schoenbrunn, May 19. HUNGARIANS— The emperor of Austria, unmindful of his treaties, and regardless of the magnanimity I have shewed towards him after three successive wars, and especially that of 1805, has attacked my armies; I have faced him—and God, who gives victory
and punishes the ungrateful and faithless, has been pleased to grant victory to my arms. I have entered the Austrian capital, and am on your frontiers; it is the emperor of Austria, and not the king of Hungary that has declared war against me. According to your constitution, he could not do it without your consent; your system, which has ever been defensive, and the measures you have taken at the last diet, has proved, to my satisfaction, that you were for the preservation of peace. Hungarians— The moment has arrived for you to obtain your independence. I offer you peace, the inviolability of your territories, your liberty, your constitution such as it is now, or modified by you whenever you shall think it necessary, or when the spirit of the times and the interests of your fellow citizens shall require it. I ask nothing of you; my desire only is to see you a free and independent people.
Your union with Austria is the source of all your misfortunes; and for it your blood has flown in distant countries, your interests sacrificed for those of hereditary possessions, you were the finest part of herself, and still treated as a colony! which gave rise to quarrels, whose source to you was unknown. You have a national character, a language solely your own; you boast with justice of an old and glorious ancestry; procure to yourselves again your rank as a nation; be what you were formerly, give yourself a king who shall owe his dignity to your suffrages, who will reign for you only, and live among you, who shall be surrounded by your citizens and soldiers. Hungarians! the eyes of all Europe are fixed on you, who demand this of you; all that I ask of you is, a constant peace, and commercial relations with me, for which I guarantee to you your independence, the greatest of all blessings that await you, provided you are worthy of your forefathers, and true to yourselves. You will not disregard this magnanimous offer, and be lavish in spilling your precious blood, for weak princes, who are under the control of unprincipled or bribed ministers, and to whom England gave her gold; this enemy of the continent, who has established her riches and prosperity upon monopoly and our differences. Convoke a national diet upon the field of Rakos, after the manner of our forefathers; and acquaint me with your determination.
By order of the emperor, ALEXANDER, Prince of Neufchatel, and gen. of the army.
PHILADELPHIA, August 1. From a Barbadoes paper of the 14th June, the following information relative to Spain is obtained, received there by the frigate Undaunted, in 38 days from Cadiz. The French army under Marshal Victor, which lately encamped at the entrance of the celebrated passes of the Sierra Morena from Estremadura into Andalusia, and which had been repulsed in all its attempts to force the Spanish army under General Cuesta, which was guarding those passes, and upon the fate of which depended the possession, by the Spaniards, of Andalusia, had been, in consequence of the success of the British army under Sir Arthur Wellesley, compelled to make a precipitate retreat, from their position, upon Madrid, leaving about four thousand sick behind in their cantonments. Gen. Cuesta's cavalry, about 7000 strong, had been detached in pursuit of the French, and had made great havoc among the retreating troops. Cuesta's army was advancing to effect a junction with the army of Gen. Venegas, stationed at the other side of the Sierra Morena, leading into La Mancha, from Andalusia, which when effected, they were directed to march directly to Madrid, where Joseph Bonaparte was stripping that city of all its valuables, preparatory to his retreat with all the French troops beyond the Ebro. The French army under marshal Ney, in Galicia was completely cut off by the army under the marquis de Romana. They had taken refuge in Ferrol, where the inhabitants were so violent against the French that they were obliged to keep within their barracks. It was expected that Ferrol would surrender in a few days, the harbour of which was closely blockaded by a British squadron. The Spaniards had re-taken St. Sebastian and St. Andero. These successes would enable Sir Arthur Wellesley, after the capture of marshal Soult's army to head his course at once towards Madrid to effect a junction with the Spanish armies; which after driving the French out of Spain were to enter France by Bayonne. The Spanish army under gen. Blake, consisting of about 50,000 men from the provinces of Murcia, Valencia, and Arragon, were rapidly advancing towards Madrid, to co-operate with the other armies in pursuit of the French; and the Spanish army under gen. Reading, which was above 40,000 strong, was, after the death of that officer in Catalonia, also put under the command of gen. Blake. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed throughout every part of Spain, against the French, where all the clergy had come to the unanimous resolution of taking up arms, and immediately join the different armies. Marshal Wellesley, the newly appointed ambassador from England to Spain, was momentarily expected at Cadiz: his appointment had given the greatest satisfaction to the Spaniards, as the nomination of such a person insured every possible support to the Spanish cause which could be afforded by G. Britain. The army of Sir A. Wellesley was receiving reinforcements from England, which was to be augmented to 60,000 men, 10,000 of whom were to be cavalry, with a large train of flying artillery, supplied with Surapell shells, which did so much execution at the battle of Ziemiera. Great quantities of cloathing, arms, &c. had arrived from England for the Spanish armies, both from the British government and individuals, who had subscribed large sums for the Spanish patriots. All the dollars which could be collected by the British government had been sent to Cadiz and other places, for the use of the Spaniards, who were in great distress for want of money, as the expected remittances from Vera Cruz, Cuba, &c. had not arrived. State of the strength of the principal Spanish armies
Gen. Cuesta 44,000, in Estremadura. Gen. Venegas 33,000, in La Mancha. Gen. Blake 50,000, in Arragon. Gen. Reading 40,000, in Catalonia. M. de Romana 47,000, in Galicia.
NEW-YORK, August 3. Capt. Hathaway of the brig Orange, failed from Oporto the 28th June. He informs that it was reported at Oporto, that the British and Portuguese armies were at Branco on the 24th June, in pursuit of a French army under the command of Gen. Victor. Soult's army was said to be in Spain. Only 600 of the rear guard of Soult, and 80 pieces of cannon, had been taken by the British army. On the 26th and 28th June, 1800 French prisoners were embarked at Oporto for England. There were no French troops in Portugal.
August 4. VERY LATE FROM FRANCE. The dispatch ship Mentor, captain Ward, arrived here yesterday afternoon, in 24 days from L'Orient, with dispatches from Mr. Armstrong for government. Mr. Gelson, who is the bearer of them, proceeds this day for the seat of government. On the arrival of a vessel in so short a passage, much news is naturally expected; but the fact is, no change has taken place in our affairs. Mr. Armstrong remains in Paris, and the French decrees are still in force. There had been no battles of moment since the defeat of Bonaparte near Vienna, on the 21st and 22d of May; the reason of which is, that Napoleon was waiting the arrival of a large Russian army, which was marching through Galitzia in three divisions. We have received Paris papers to the 30th of July. They contain the bulletins to No. 22! the last is dated at Vienna, the 24th of June. The bridges on the Danube have been repaired; and Bonaparte expected to destroy the Austrian army, as that of Russia had joined him. It appears, by the last bulletins, that Bonaparte had retrograded from Ebersdorf to Vienna, where his head-quarters were on the 24th June. Bulletin No. 19, states that an action had been fought near Raab in Hungary, on the 13th June. The French army was commanded by prince Eugene, and the Austrians by the archduke John. The latter was forced by three columns, of 20 or 25,000 men; the first column was attacked by the French and repulsed, but the second detained for a moment the impetuosity of the French first division, which was immediately reinforced, and repulsed the Austrians. Austria lost 3000 killed, and about the same number wounded. The French lost 900 killed and wounded. The 20th bulletin states that the Russian army, under the command of prince Galitzin, had entered Galitzia, near Hungary, on the 3d of June, in 3 divisions, to attack the Austrians. The 22d contains an account of the capitulation of the city of Raab to the French-Italian army under prince Eugene. Mr. Morton had arrived at Paris with dispatches from London. Col. Burr had arrived at Stockholm, from England. Several American vessels had arrived in the ports of Holland. Two, it is said, were from New-York. Capt. Ward requests us to state, that during his stay at L'Orient, he received the most polite and friendly treatment from all the officers of the French government, for which he wishes thus to express his grateful acknowledgements.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND. Yesterday arrived at this port, the brig Statura, captain Geer, in 40 days from London, which place she left on the 21st of June. From Capt. G. and his passengers, the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser has received a regular file of London papers to the 20th of June, inclusive, and Lloyd's List to the 16th. By the Statura, we learn, that the British minister (Mr. Jackson) had not failed for America; but he was about sailing in a sloop of war for the U. S. The Phoenix frigate was ordered for some other service. The Statura is the bearer of dispatches from the American minister in London, to the government of the U. S.
From the Boston Gazette, July 31. A letter received yesterday from Halifax, by the sloop Mayflower, in 7 days from that place, contains the following information:— “London dates to the 16th June have reached this place; they advise that Bonaparte's army had evacuated the island of Inder Laban, and returned again to the Vienna side of the Danube with severe loss; that the Austrian official account of the 21st and 22d of May, as published at Stockholm, rate the loss of the French at 30,000; that the Archduke Charles had addressed a proclamation to the army, in which he informs his troops that he shall divide their forces and by constantly harassing the enemy, prevent him at any time, from attacking more than a small division; this is thought to be a wise and judicious plan, and more calculated to harass his numerous adversaries, than trusting the whole to the chance of any one important action. “There are various reports of battles subsequent to the 23d of May. Prussia is said to be coming forward with an army of 40 or 50,000 men; the Duke of Brunswick is also said to have raised his standard in Saxony, and to be daily strengthening his party. Col. Schill is not dead, as was reported; but on the contrary has augmented his army very considerably.”
LATEST FROM SPAIN. From the Connecticut Gazette, New-Haven, August 1. —Arrived, on Saturday, the frt Oulstonock, Sheffield, in 45 days from Cadiz. As capt. S. left Cadiz the 12th June, about ten days subsequent to the latest arrival from that quarter, we were in hope of furnishing our readers with some interesting news; but he informs us, that in the bustle of departure he forgot his file of Spanish papers nor does he bring any verbal accounts, except that the Spaniards are in high spirits, and seem to entertain no doubt of expelling every Frenchman from their country.

On our side one private marine was killed and two wounded.

Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his."—Numb. 23—10.
DIED on the evening of the 19th of August 1809, Mrs. Rachel Barton, near Lexington, in the 84th year of her age, who, to the most eminent, social and domestic virtues added an early profession of the christian religion, and by a pious walk, and corresponding conversation gave the highest evidence of its benign influence upon her heart, and by her cheerfulness and composure in every situation of life, evinced her firm reliance on, and support from its divine author. And in the formidable approaches of the king of terrors giving the highest evidence of the truth of that religion she had long professed, by the most perfect resignation to the will of heaven and humble reliance on the merits and atonement of the saviour; patiently waiting the final summons that should dismiss her from bodily infirmities and pain, and bring her to the full enjoyment of the inheritance of the saints in light. Mrs. Barton retained her mental powers without visible decay, till within a very short period of her death; and whilst laboring under the most severe bodily pain in her last illness, a murmur is not known to have been uttered by her.
On the following day her remains were attended by a number of mourning relatives, and a large concourse of sympathising friends, to the burial ground in Lexington, where they were deposited beside her late husband.
"A wit's a feather, and a chief a rod, An honest man's the noblest work of God."
Captain KENNETH MCCOY departed this life on the 17th of this month.
This gentleman was one of the few remaining veterans, who participated in the American revolution. He entered the service early in youth, and testified the sincerity of his homage to liberty, and his personal bravery, with the sacrifice of some of the enemies of his country, with his single hands.
At the close of the contest with Great Britain he enthusiastically dared our more sanguinary foes in the western forest, and here he successfully engaged more than once, in individual contests with the savage enemy; but under the command of Gen. Scott, at the head of a portion of cavalry, he was disabled by an Indian, to whom he had previously given a mortal wound.
From that period, he has in private life, evinced that his virtues were not exclusively military. The domestic duties, though less splendid, were more congenial to his mind. He was sensibly alive to the feelings of humanity, and no man gave pain to his fellow with more reluctance. His agreeable vein of wit, was ever exercised in the promotion of innocent festivity, and his hand was ever ready to aid the oppressed. His correct understanding, and amiable courtesy of manners, rendered him an universally acceptable guest, and his patient fortitude, and cheerful resignation displayed in his last, long, hopeless illness, induced his Physician ardently to pronounce that he was a STERLING HONEST MAN.
The remains of Capt. McCoy were interred yesterday evening, with Masonic honors, attended by a large concourse of sympathising friends.—[Rep.]

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS in consequence of an official communication of his Britannic majesty's envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary, declaring that the British orders in council, of January and November, 1807, would have been withdrawn on the 10th day of June last; and by virtue of authority given in such event, by the 11th section of the act of congress, entitled "An act to interdict all commercial intercourse between the United States and Great Britain and France, and their dependencies," I, JAMES MADISON, President of the United States, did issue my proclamation, bearing date on the 19th of
April last, declaring that the orders in council aforesaid would have been withdrawn on the said 10th day of June, after which the trade so suspended by certain acts of congress might be renewed: And whereas it is now officially made known to me that the said orders in council have not been withdrawn, agreeably to the communication and date aforesaid, I do hereby proclaim the same, and consequently that the trade renewable on the event of the said orders being withdrawn, is to be considered as under the operation of the several acts by which such trade was suspended.
Given under my hand and the seal of the United States at the City of Washington, the ninth day of August, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and nine, and of the independence of the United States the thirty-fourth.
(Signed) JAMES MADISON. By the President,
R. SMITH, Secretary of State.
We are informed, that a passenger of respectability in the Mentor, says, that the day previous to his sailing from France, accounts were received there from England to the 30th of June, which stated that the government of Great Britain had issued a proclamation, ratifying in its fullest extent the agreement entered into by Mr. Erskine and Mr. Smith.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia, dated, PARIS, 4th July, 1809.
"The messenger is just leaving Paris for L'Orient, in order to embark in the Mentor, for the United States. I have the particular satisfaction to acquaint you that I have just had an interview with our minister, by whom I am authorised to say, that a courier has arrived from the emperor, ordering the charge des affaires of Champagne (this must mean the gentleman who takes charge of the chief bureau in Champagne's absence) to treat on American affairs; that the dispatches by the Mentor were favourably received by his majesty; that negotiations are now open, that the government evinces an evident disposition not only to re-establish our commercial relations on a good, but much more advantageous footing than has heretofore been: and that to judge from present appearances, all existing differences will be very soon amicably adjusted. "When the negotiation is terminated, it is to be submitted to the emperor for his approbation, after which the result will be made known."
The hon. John Q. Adams, his lady, and suit, embarked on Saturday, at Boston, in the ship Horace, for St. Petersburg.

We learn (says the last Norfolk Herald) that the U. S. frigate Essex capt. Smith, has received sailing orders, and is to proceed immediately for Boston, where she is to receive her despatches. Rumour has it afloat, that she is destined for England for the purpose of bringing home Mr. Pinkney.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Bordeaux, received at Washington, dated June 16.
"Yesterday the Commissary of Marine for this port, greatly alarmed us by making a very injudicious communication to the chamber of commerce of the city, on the subject of American Affairs—it appears that the Minister of Marine instructed the commissary to inform the chamber of commerce of Bordeaux of the act of Congress interdicting trade with France and England; at the same time recommending to them to suspend for the present, all operations with the U. S. In conforming to the orders of his superior, the Commissary thought proper to annex comments of a very alarming nature, which were immediately communicated to merchants on the exchange, and as the whole wore an official form, an immediate rupture between the two countries was considered inevitable. The commissary finding he had gone too far, sent for one of the Members of the Chamber through whose influence he prevailed on the body to return his letter, promising to write another more consonant with the Minister's views.—Thinking it highly probable some of the American merchants may have communicated this alarm to the U. S. by this ship, I have thought it my duty to state to you, for these facts, that in such case, its bad effects may be counteracted."
The British have taken the island of Heligoland, and have exercised the right which conquest has given to engross the trade of that place to themselves.
The Russians have acknowledged Mr. Short as ambassador from the United States, and appointed a minister plenipotentiary in return.—The person who has arrived is only Consul-General.
The following curious article is copied from the London Morning Chronicle of June 19.
On Sunday a report prevailed in the city on the authority of a Dutch captain arrived at Harwich, that the Queen of Holland had eloped from her Husband, and gone to Germany to her brother-in-law and father-in-law, Napoleon, by whom it is added, she is pregnant.
From L'Orient, June 15.
[To the editor of the N. Y. Mercantile Advertiser.] "The emperor received dispatches from America only the day before the great battle of Ebersdorf; since which he has been occupied with matters of much greater personal concern, so that no answer has yet been given in this battle (contrary to the advice of Ladies, Malfena, and the most eminent of his generals) the flower of the French army was engaged; and you are by the time this reaches you, no doubt, well acquainted with the result.—Letters from persons who were eye witnesses, state, that after the French army crossed the Danube, the Austrian army formed into a kind of half moon, with their flanks far extended, which induced the emperor Napoleon to believe they must have weakened their centre. He therefore, ordered Laffesse, and three or four other generals, to force their centre, and beat them in detail. But this was not the case: the Austrians opened
a fire of 200 pieces of cannon that had been masked behind their centre, and literally mowed the French as with a scythe. It is supposed the loss of the French has been 30,000 prime troops; the Austrian bulletins say 48,000. Since that time we hear of no engagements. The great mass of the French people of all ranks, even those around the emperor's person, are extremely favorable to an honorable commercial intercourse with us.
LATEST FROM PORTUGAL. BOSTON, August 5.
Our correspondent at Gloucester, under yesterday's date, says: "The schooner Jane, Webber, has just arrived, in 37 days from Lisbon. I send you some Lisbon papers. The verbal intelligence he brings is—That the English and Portuguese had marched against Madrid."
FROM A LONDON PAPER. Schill has published an excellent proclamation to the Germans, and we have been told the following letters have passed between him and Bonaparte.
The emperor Napoleon to Schill.
"Rascal— "If you and your banditti do not immediately lay down your arms, no hopes of mercy remain for you; and my irresistible arm shall crush you to the dust."
"BONAPARTE."
Schill, the Colonel, to Bonaparte,
"Brave Sir— "When you shall have restored the territories and treasure of which you have robbed the king my master, then will I lay down my arms, and not before."
"Your's my Brother, "SCHILL."
The following is a copy of a letter to General Duncan in London from Charles James Stuart, alias George Francis Stuart, alias Count Stuart, Author of the revolutionary Plutarch, the female Revolutionary Plutarch, the life of Talleyrand, the secret History of St. Cloud, &c. &c. It needs no comment.
(Nat. Intell. NEW-YORK, Jan. 20, 1809.)
My dear General, I am now thank God, safe here, and may bid defiance to the inveteracy of English Jacobins. I shall endeavor to forget both their illiberality, falsehoods and plots, if they do not by new attacks rouse me from my present apathy.
It will give you pleasure to hear that my Secret History of St. Cloud has here even by the recommendation of Bonaparte's Confidant General Ray here, been generally read and has all the effect I desired in writing it. It has gone through three editions.
Moretu is expected here in some weeks, when I shall see him. Gen. Ray has also desired to make my acquaintance in private, but I have declined it until Moreau's return; tell me what you know of him. Every thing in this country bespeaks an approaching political form. Government is despicable and despised and the people dissatisfied and sedition.
Bonaparte is certainly as much master at Washington as at Paris; and he commands obedience and tribute, as much in America as in Europe. Since the peace of Tilsit, Talleyrand's emigrations of both taxes and of all colors and ages swarm and plot here in secret.
I have not yet written any thing here, but should my friends in Europe approve of it, I shall set up an American Weekly Monitor and expose the views and crimes of revolutionary France. Loyal men are even more scarce here than in England, and their labors of course more necessary and useful; should you and my friend Mr. Fauche be disgusted with Europe, come here, and we may together do some good for lawful princes and civilized people. Living here in taverns or boarding houses is dear as in England, but when settled you may buy a brace of pheasants for two shillings, a couple of fowls 18d. meat 4d. a pound, and fish till cheaper. House rent is dear and no private lodging, but in inns can be had.
Should my plan of writing not be approved of, I shall retire either to Charleston or Quebec, and amuse myself with writings and my military annals.
Address your answers to me at Col. Barclay's the British Consul General here. Remember me and my wife to Mrs. Donican and your little family, whom we all should be happy to embrace once more; my wife supported well a tempestuous voyage of six weeks, is now in perfect health and spirits, only tormented by the numerous invasions, of the gentry here who are very civil and hospitable.
God bless you all, your ever truly, C. S.
N. B. Let nobody know my address, your cause
LONDON, MAY 19.
The court of Vienna has published a heavy pamphlet, in the shape of a manifesto against France. It contains a long enumeration of grievances from the peace of Presburg, down to the period of the present rupture. It complained—1st, That the articles of the treaty of Presburg in favor of Austria, were either not carried into effect at all, or only after arbitrary and disadvantageous alterations, while all the conditions favorable to France were executed to the full extent within the time prescribed—2d, That fresh contributions were levied after the arrears of military requisitions were paid, and effects belonging to the emperor seized, to the value of 24,000,000 florins, without making the stipulated compensation. 3d, that a passage was peremptorily demanded by France, for her troops from the Venetian states to the provinces on the east coast of the Adriatic, thro' the Austrian territory. 4th, That the Austrian territory on the right bank of the Izonzo was refused to be evacuated, and the fortresses of Brannau to be evacuated, on the frivolous pretence of the procrastinated surrender of Cattaro, of which the French plenipotentiaries are alone to blame. 5th, That the German constitution was violently overthrown, and the emperor unjustly spoiled of his dignity. The paper then proceeds to state the strict neutrality observed by Austria in the war between France and Prussia, and his acquiescence in the peace of Tilsit, though several of the articles, and the whole tenor of the treaty, was manifestly prejudicial to her interests.
From the London Courier, (a ministerial paper) of the 26th of May.
And here we cannot help lamenting, & indeed pitying, the embarrassment into which
his majesty's Ministers have been drawn by our Minister—Indeed this is not the sole instance in which they have been made to suffer, not for their own misconduct, but the misconduct of others—We must say, that when we first read the correspondence between Mr. ERskine and SMITH, we were astonished; not that the dry, special pleading, and sufficiently impertinent style of Mr. SMITH's letters surprised us, who have been accustomed to American Diplomacy; but we were astonished first, at the terms of the offer made with respect to the Chesapeake, and of the abruptness and the haste in which the arrangement is proposed and concluded. We offer to restore the men forcibly taken out of the Chesapeake, could we do this consistently not only with our honour, but with the constitution and Law? Whatever error there might have been in taking the men from the Chesapeake, (and we declare we never saw any, but on the contrary, highly approved of the act,) we ascertained that they were British subjects. Can we, therefore, surrender our subjects, who have a right to the protection of our Laws, to the government of a foreign Power? Can we strip them of their British claims? Can we disfranchise them? No, we cannot do it with any regard, not only to our honor, but to the law and constitution of these realms. Besides, there is another impediment to the giving back the men taken out of the Chesapeake—One or two of them were tried, proved to have been British subjects, found guilty of desertion, and hung. There is another point worthy consideration—we agree to do a certain act agreeable to America, because we are informed that she has "evinced an intention of passing certain laws which would place the relations of Great Britain with the United States upon an equal footing with the other belligerent Powers."
The American government, in a dry and not very clear manner, tells us that "this equality is a result incident to a state of things, growing out of distinct considerations." This statement we should have thought would have called forth from Mr. Erskine some comment or observation. It appears however to have been passed over sub silentio. As to the non-intercourse Act, the passing of it might afford us satisfaction in as far as it rendered the treatment of Great Britain and France equal; but how an act which forbade all intercourse with us, which put an end to all relations of his MAJESTY with the United States, "we confess we are at a loss to conceive, as well as why it should have been eagerly laid hold of as the first stepping stone on our part towards an adjustment of the differences between us."
The American government passes an act, which says, "we will have nothing more to do with you," and we are so delighted with this, that we immediately run to them with open arms, and say, "this is so kind, pacific and favourable on your part, that we will immediately comply with you withdrawing our orders in council." Throughout the whole of the correspondence we are all smoothe and yielding, and America is stiff and unbending. What she wants she seems to grant as if the whole advantage were to be on our side. Before we would have yielded what our minister yielded, we should have required compliance with certain conditions, which compliance should have been the basis of our concessions; and such a line of conduct, we trust and believe his Majesty's Ministers meant should have been followed.

ROBERT CATTERSON, will find his mother, Sarah Catterton, by applying at this office or at Mr. Hamilton's, in this town.
When Mr. Lewis Smith came to Lexington, his situation excited my sympathy; and having from previous knowledge a favourable opinion of him, I endeavoured to aid him, in obtaining some employment, by which he might make a living for himself and family—I recommended him to the county court as a fit person to fill the office of constable, and became his security therein. I also got him appointed librarian to the Lexington library, and clerk to the board of trustees for the town.
In a short time I perceived that he did not succeed as a constable; which I could not then account for—and being desirous still to serve him, and at the same time to benefit myself, I gave him the care of my shop and hands, and allowed him one half of the profits. The shop was well furnished with journeymen, apprentices and tools, and had a good run of custom. I charged the firm a moderate rent for the use of the shop and tools, but nothing for the apprentices—On his part I expected no more than attention to the business. Before the lapse of a year I heard frequent complaints of his inattention, & neglect; and when I went to the shop, I so seldom found him there, I concluded that he did not answer my expectation, & I therefore proposed a dissolution, to which he acceded. But in order that he might not be thrown out of business, I offered to let him have one of my shops and a portion of the hands and tools, which he declined, expressing a doubt whether he would pursue the same business longer.
In examining the accounts of the shop, such as were on persons, who had claims against, or dealings in, the store, in which I was interested were charged to me, or the firm of the store, and transferred to the store books, the remaining accounts, we divided between us, and a very handsome sum fell to his share. In the division there appeared no dissatisfaction on either side; he kept such as he wished, & I did not ask any that he desired to retain, and among those which I did take, there are sums yet uncollected and likely to remain so.
In providing for the debts due by us, I undertook to discharge about two thirds, and he assumed about one third; as well as I remember; tho' I cannot say with certainty as I left the books in his possession—There was
that it was not the sole instance in which they have been made to suffer, not for their own misconduct, but the misconduct of others—We must say, that when we first read the correspondence between Mr. ERskine and SMITH, we were astonished; not that the dry, special pleading, and sufficiently impertinent style of Mr. SMITH's letters surprised us, who have been accustomed to American Diplomacy; but we were astonished first, at the terms of the offer made with respect to the Chesapeake, and of the abruptness and the haste in which the arrangement is proposed and concluded. We offer to restore the men forcibly taken out of the Chesapeake, could we do this consistently not only with our honour, but with the constitution and Law? Whatever error there might have been in taking the men from the Chesapeake, (and we declare we never saw any, but on the contrary, highly approved of the act,) we ascertained that they were British subjects. Can we, therefore, surrender our subjects, who have a right to the protection of our Laws, to the government of a foreign Power? Can we strip them of their British claims? Can we disfranchise them? No, we cannot do it with any regard, not only to our honor, but to the law and constitution of these realms. Besides, there is another impediment to the giving back the men taken out of the Chesapeake—One or two of them were tried, proved to have been British subjects, found guilty of desertion, and hung.

Patent Hemp & Flax breaking Machine.
THE subscribers have purchased the right for the state of Kentucky of Thomas Colobon's Patent for a machine, for breaking hemp and flax. One of those machines is now in operation on Maddox Fisher's farm, near this place, and is found admirably to answer the purpose for which it was intended.
A machine with two breaks, is worked by one horse with ease, and requires six hands to attend it. One of the great advantages of this machine is, that it can be attended by women or boys, instead of men, and that a woman or boy can clean double the quantity of hemp or flax, which the most able-bodied man could do in the same time with a common hand-break.
A further account of the machine is deemed unnecessary, as it is presumed that those desirous of purchasing rights, will wish to satisfy themselves by seeing it in operation.
Individual rights at twenty dollars, or rights for whole counties, may be procured by applying to either of the subscribers.
Maddox Fisher, Joseph Boswell, David Sutton, John Fisher, Geo. Laws. 20
HAVING been called upon to state our opinions of a machine for breaking hemp and flax, which was saw in operation on Mr. Maddox Fisher's farm, we hesitate not to declare that we view it as an important acquisition to our state, and therefore recommend it to the attention of every farmer who cultivates either hemp or flax. The construction of the machine is simple and does not appear likely to get out of order. We suppose that one of those machines having two breaks and moved with ease by one horse, might be built for about 30 or 40S. We have no hesitation in stating that hemp may be broken in much greater quantities with the same labour, and with ease to the hands employed, and that much delay, severe labour, and considerable expense might be saved to hemp raisers by the erection of these machines.

PROSPECTUS,
FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, A NEW PAPER, TO BE ENTITLED THE INDEPENDENT REPUBLICAN. To be printed weekly at Chillicothe, the present seat of Government for the state of Ohio. BY PETER PARCELS.
To a liberal and discerning public, who are always ready to encourage an honest zeal for the general welfare, and for the preservation of our rights and liberties, these Proposals are respectfully submitted. It is a pleasing reflection to every true American, that he lives under a republican government, where the freedom of the Press is realized in all its enjoyments. To preserve and perpetuate this inestimable blessing, and to contribute as far as possible in support of the genuine Whig principles of '76, is the anxious aim of the Editor in issuing this Prospectus. The freedom of the Press is the sacred "Palladium of liberty;" and to exercise this right, unmoved by favouritism, and unawed by the terrors of the great, is the duty of an independent editor. In times like the present, when dangers without, and divisions within, pervade the country; while Europe is crimsoned with the blood of her citizens, and British intrigue and Gallic conquests find no limits, it becomes the duty of freemen to avow their claims, and thro' the medium of the press, speak TRUTHS to the people, that will be understood. The horrid devastations on the eastern continent, will ever be a warning to the NEW WORLD, and inculcate the maxim—"United we stand," in defiance of all enemies. However incredible! That there should be lurking in the bosom of our country, a private jumble of "Choice Spirits," who are secretly conspiring to revive the fallen hopes of their Leader, and by dividing the republican interest, thereby effect a separation of the states; it is much to be feared there is reason for the alarm.—But vigilant to his duty, the editor will be solicitous to drag the culprit to public view, and in whatever garb he may appear, to expose him to the vengeance of an indignant people. It is under a feigned pretence of patriotism, that men with imposing names often plot the ruin of their country; and even in our own times, there are men of this description, who had been high in the confidence of our government, till their views were detected—Ever mindful of his trust, the editor will be ware of such false styled patriots, and as occasion may require, will "Bey to make their immortal treasons known." Having long been concerned in the establishment of the Sciota Gazette, those who have known that paper, will entertain no doubt of my general politics. The political principles of the INDEPENDENT REPUBLICAN, will be those of Washington, Jefferson, and Madison, his successor, whose political labors entitle him to the choicest affections of the American people. To those who may favor me with their patronage, I publicly avow, that my political principles are Republican, and that my constant effort shall be to support the constitution and liberties of my country. As man is liable to err, I shall claim no exemption from human frailty; but as my intentions are honorable, my patrons may be assured, that every error which discovered, shall be specially corrected. The editor will at all times be thankful for the aid of moral, literary and political productions; but he will never condescend to become subservient to the private views of any man. All personalities shall be avoided, unless by way of reply to unwarrentable attacks; in which case, the aggressor (if worthy of notice) will be held responsible. My object will be to give to my patrons, extracts of the earliest foreign intelligence; the common news of the day; all decent, interesting & amusing essays and discussions which may be presented; and, from time to time, publish the proceedings of the national and state legislatures, so far as they have been, or may be interesting to the public. Relying on the assistance of an intelligent gentleman from a neighboring state, and having made the necessary preparations for a new and elegant set of type, the work will be executed in the best style, upon a royal sheet; and should proper encouragement be given, at the expiration of six months, the size will be extended to a super-royal. By conducting the paper upon these principles, the editor fondly flatters himself with the patronage of the honest politician, the agriculturist, mechanic, and the man of business.
TERMS OF PUBLICATION.
1. The Independent Republican, will be published weekly, on some convenient day, suitable to the arrival and departure of the different mails. 2. The price will be two dollars and fifty cents per annum, paid half yearly in advance, or two dollars in advance will be received as the amount of one year's subscription. 3. Advertisements not exceeding a square, will be inserted three times for one dollar, & every subsequent insertion twenty five cents—longer ones in proportion. 4. The editor will commence the publication of the above paper on or before the middle of September next. Chillicothe, August 1st, 1809.
NOTICE.
Whereas Lewis Craig has sold to a tract of land, lying in Jessamine county, containing about 250 acres, being the same that Nathaniel Dunn now lives on, and part of Wade Mosely's claim—I now I hereby forward all persons from purchasing the same from said Craig, or receiving a title thereto; same Craig having executed to me a Bond for a conveyance for said land, which is recorded in the Jessamine county law office. E. SINGLETON. August 1, 1809.
The charge is too atrocious, and at the same time too monstrosely absurd, for him publicly to repeat. I do not find that one of the democratic newspaper editors in New-England, with all their profligacy, has yet had the hardihood to re-publish the libel.—To hint (as Everett has done) the suspicion of a heinous crime, will better answer their purposes. Still to aggravate suspicion, this candid editor adds, that "a repetition of my charges against our rulers will not be received as proof of my own innocence;" as tho' I had ever exhibited any charges against our rulers which were unsupported by evidence, and evidence generally drawn from their own public documents.
The libel in question accuses me, through the agency of my nephew Samuel Williams in London, of forming an intrigue with the British minister, Mr. Canning, for the purpose of effecting a separation of the United States. This libel, which is FALSE, and without a shadow of foundation, and which on the face of it is stamped with impotence, Mr. Everett affects to consider as a serious charge. Mr. Wagner, in his remarks, calls it a slander and a profligate accusation. Those remarks would tend to repel all belief that the charge had any foundation. But to frustrate this tendency, Mr. Everett denounces the North American as "a mouth-piece of the British faction." And who is Mr. Wagner, whose newspaper is thus denounced? The same person who was many years chief clerk in the department of State—whom Mr. Madison found and gladly retained in that office as long as he would hold it—I think five or six years. Yet Mr. Madison knew that Mr. Wagner was a decided, incorruptible, unchangeable federalist: that very liability of character was a pledge of his fidelity. Accordingly, Mr. Madison, some two or three years since, speaking to Mr. Hillhouse and me of Mr. Wagner, commended him in very handsome terms; summing up his character, in these remarkable words—"In short, he is fit for Secretary of State." And who is Mr. Everett, the editor of the Boston Patriot? An apostate federalist! While federalism was in fashion, he served under its banners, and zealously contributed federal pieces, which were published at Walpole in New-Hampshire (where he then lived) in the distinguished federal paper called the Farmer's Museum, edited by Joseph Dennie, esq. and now this turn coat, this apostate Everett, has the impudence to set himself up as the grave censor of federal men and federal papers!
One more word as to his concern for my reputation. By the gravity of his manner in noticing the "report" which he pretends to think so seriously affects my character, he doubtless intended to point its malignity, that it might inflict the deeper wound. Yet that "report," that "profligate accusation," is so monstrosely absurd in its details, that it would be an impeachment to Mr. Everett's understanding to suppose that he believed one word of it to be true. T. PICKERING. Wenham, July 24, 1809.

William McConnell, Jailor July 8, 1809.
of a stream flowing, mansion house stood, skirts of a chilling damp wood. Where the yew tree and cypress were growing. The villagers shook as they passed by the doors, When they rested at eve from their labours; And the traveller many a furlong went round, Till his ears once admitted the terrific sound. Of the tale that was told by the neighbours. They said that the house on the skirts of the wood By a saucer-eyed ghost was infested, Who fill'd every heart with confusion and fright, By assuming strange shapes in the dead of the night, Shapes monstrous, and foul, and detested. And truly they said, and the master well knew That the ghost was the greatest of ills; For no sooner the bell of the mansion toll'd one Than the frolicsome imp, in a fury, begun To caper, like ten thousand devils. He appear'd in forms the most strange and uncouth, Sure never was goblin so daring! He utter'd loud shrieks and most horrible cries, Curs'd his body and bones, and his sweet little eyes, Till his impudence grew beyond bearing. Just at this nick o' time, when the master's sad heart, With anguish and sorrow, was swelling, He heard that a scholar, with science repete, Full of mystical lore as an egg is with meat, Had taken at Cambridge a dwelling. The scholar was vers'd in all magical arts, Most famous was he throughout college: To the Red Sea full many an unquiet ghost, To repossess with king Pharaoh and his mighty host He had sent through his powerful knowledge. To this scholar so learned, the master he went, And as lowly he bent with submission, Told the freaks of the Ghost, and the horrible fights That prevented his household from resting o' nights, And offered his humble petition: "That he, the said scholar, in wisdom so wise, "Would the mischievous fiend lay in fetters; "Then send him in torments forever to dwell, "To the nethermost pit of the nethermost hell, "For destroying the sleep of his betters." The scholar so vers'd in all mysterious lore, Told the master his prayer should be granted; Then ordered his horse to be saddled with speed, And perch'd on the back of his cream-colour'd steed, Trotted off to the house that was haunted. He entered the doors at the fall o' the night—The trees of the forest 'gan shiver; The hoarse raven croak'd, and blue burnt the light, The owl loudly shriek'd, and pale with affright The servants like aspins did quiver. "Bring some turnips and milk" the scholar he cryed, In a voice like the echoing thunder;—They brought him some turnips, and suet beside, Some milk, and a spoon, and his motions they ey'd Quite lost in conjecture and wonder. He took up the turnips and peel'd off the skin, Put them into a pot that was boiling; Spread a table and cloth, and made ready to sup, Then called for a fork and the turnips fished up In a hurry, for they were a spoiling. He mashed up the turnips with butter and milk; The bait at the casements 'gan clatter; Yet this scholar ne'er heeded the tempest without, But raising his eyes, and turning about, Ask'd the maid for a small wooden platter. He mash'd up the turnips with pepper and salt; The storm came on thicker and faster: The lightnings blue flash'd and with terrific din The wind at each eave and cranny came in, Tearing up by the roots lath and plaster. He mash'd up the turnips with nutmeg and spice, The mess would have ravish'd a glutton; When lo! his sharp bones hardly cover'd with skin, The Ghost from a nook o'er the window peep'd in, In the form of a boil'd scrag of mutton. "Ho! ho!" said the Ghost, "what art doing below?" The scholar look'd up in a twinkling—"The times are too bad to afford any meat, "So to render my turnips more pleasant to eat, "A few grains of pepper I'm sprinkling." Then he caught up a fork, and the mutton he seiz'd, And sours'd it at once in the platter: Threw o'er it some salt and a spoonful of fat, And before the poor Ghost cou'd tell what he was at, He was g'me!—like a mouse down the throat of a cat, And this is the whole of the matter, "Shakespeare was performing the part of a King, in one of his own tragedies, flanding near the Queen's Box, and having given his orders to the attending officers, Elizabeth, wishing to know whether he would depart from the dignity of the sovereign, at that instant dropped her handkerchief, when the mimic monarch immediately exclaimed—"But ere this be done, "Take up our Sifter's handkerchief."
FROM THE SALEM GAZETTE.
TO THE EDITOR.—In the newspaper called the Boston Patriot, of the 22d inst. the Editor, Mr. Everett, has introduced the following paragraph. "COL. PICKERING. "A report (to which some of our public papers have given currency) is abroad, of deepest concern to col. P. The charge is too serious for his silence, or our repetition.—His friends at Baltimore seem to be of the same opinion. We are not so much his enemies as not to wish, at least for the sake of our country, to see the integrity of col. Pickering freed from that suspicion which must rest upon it, while the charge is suffered to circulate without notice. Whatever may be the opinion of his friend who appears in his behalf in the North American, it is presumed he will not, at this day, so far mistake the mood of the public mind as to suppose that a repetition of his charges against our rulers, will be received as a proof of his own innocence. We extract the following from the North American, a mouth piece of the British faction in Baltimore. Mr. Everett then infers two paragraphs from the Baltimore North American, in which the editor, Jacob Wagner, Esq. notices the "report" (as Everett calls the Libel in the Baltimore Whig) to which he has reference, and which Mr. Wagner ranks among the "profligate accusations" made against me, and of which he justly remarks, there is no end. Mr. Everett, affecting some concern for my reputation, attacked by the "profligate accusation" in the Whig, intimates a wish to see my integrity freed from the suspicion which (he says) must rest upon it, while this charge (as he calls that infamous slander) is suffered to circulate without notice. Thus, under the mask of candour, he raises and gives currency to a suspicion, that I have
