July 3, 1793.

To the Democratic Society of Kentucky.
Citizens, PERMIT a fellow citizen devoted to the principles which have given birth to the institution which you have originated in our infant country, to express his warmest approbation, of an association, from which your country may derive the most important advantages.
That spirit of philanthropy which displays itself, in your effort to diffuse the most important knowledge to man, must under prudent regulations ensure respectability to a society whose object is the happiness of mankind. The day is approaching when the free born sons of America will view with admiration the glorious cause of liberty, which has dawned in the western world, expand itself to regions now absorbed in tyranny and despotism. The patriotic mind, already anticipates with a soul animating ardor, the happy period when all debasing distinctions shall cease and the most dignified appellation will be the virtuous citizen. The extensive diffusion of the Democratic principle, must be interesting in the highest degree to the citizens of western America. Or they behold with the most painful regret, the rapid advance which corruption has made amongst their Atlantic brethren. When they behold the temple of folly erected at the court of America; when they behold their servants adume the manners and require the obedience due to masters, it becomes their duty to convince such of their folly and presumption, by the the strongest marks of disapprobation. Could the patriot of 1775 have conceived that his associates in the virtuous struggle for liberty, would in 1793 have degenerated into the fawning sycophants that now infest the Federal Court. Could he have supposed that the sons of liberty would have so soon suffered their native dignity to be tarnished by a servile imitation of the vices of those from whose tyranny they had escaped. If the heroes who fell in defence of the liberties of America should arise and be witness to the ceremonial farce exhibited by their chief, they must suppose themselves transported to a country matured in corruption: they must bleed afresh to behold their brethren bend the knee to him who once would have shrunk with horror from the scene. It is not the distempered imagination of the sequestered recluse, from which these apprehensions arise, but from the too well established truth; that the evil has grown already to a height, so gigantic, as to call loudly for the united efforts of every virtuous citizen, to check its progress.
Were an angel to descend from Heaven, commissioned to dictate a system of government, and engrave it in letters of gold; how unavailing would it be, if the minister employed in its execution possessed not those virtues essential to its preservation—The discordant parts of which the Union is composed require the purest principles and the best ministers to continue it in existence, if it were even sanctioned by the unanimous voice of its citizens—But defective as it is in this point, how alarming is the progress of that prodigality and affected grandeur which while it estranges the affection of the friend to government, must in time contaminate the virtue of all—It requires not a spirit of prophecy to anticipate the consequences that will follow from the increase of the evils here complained of—There still exists, and I hope will continue to exist, until the great occasion may require, a virtuous few of independent Americans, whose native abhorrence of tyranny, however gilded its appearance, will cause them to renounce. If then corruption should
continue its progress, with that recoiling energy peculiar to the cause of liberty, they will shake to the center a government so productive of vice and so contrary in its practice to a genuine republicanism. Happy will it be for the inhabitants of Western America, if with the Appalachian mountains they can bound the torrent of corruption—Uncontaminated with the pageantry of a court; removed from the luxury which too much prevails in commercial countries, they may long preserve untainted the virtue essential to their happy government—The day may perhaps arrive, when the children of the West, reared in habits of virtuous simplicity and unadorned with the vices of refinement may stretch forth an assisting hand to the support of their Atlantic brethren enfeebled by that corruption, the progress of which they now wish to check.
How watchful ought those to be who are selected as the guardians of the happiness and prosperity of millions; they cannot too carefully avoid the baneful example which leads the citizens of an infant and virtuous country into habits, more fatal than civil war—How criminal will they be, if by a time serving complaisance they suffer the seeds of vice and corruption to take such root within our government as may require the blood of thousands to eradicate it; In the conduct of government, nothing is so important as an independent and virtuous representation—Let us in the choice of men delegated to represent a nation of freemen, avoid the man, whose pliant soul will yield to every advance of the glittering gaudy sycophant—the man whose views extend not beyond the acquisition of the pence within the grasp of the common hieing, whose little private emolument is the object of the greatest magnitude, is also unfit to give dignity to the councils of a nation. Let us carefully select the man, who possesses firmness of mind and integrity of heart, sufficient when a pampered and presumptuous servant is called to the bar of justice, to dispense with the critical forms of law, drag a guilty man from his foul nest of speculation and instead of honors load him with contempt—so difficult is it to find a man whose soul is formed with virtuous principles capable to withstand the temptations incident to offices of dignity and importance, that we must have recourse to the most incessant and rigid scrutiny as the best guard to the interest of society. When the happiness of millions is at stake, better would it be for the community that the well known legal maxim should be reversed; justice commensurate with the object, demands that in no instance shall the man, who dares to trample on the rights or enslave the minds of his Fellow Citizens escape the vengeance of an injured Country. Better will it be that the characters of many good men should be unjustly aspersed, than that one important villain should escape with impunity. On the other hand we ought invariably to confer the merited applause on the friend to his Country, the faithful steward and the virtuous citizen.
Thus shall we excite the good man to stand forth in the service of his country, firm and faithful to the trust reposed in him, conscious that the approving voice of a single virtuous citizen infinitely transcends the extorted adulation of myriads of slaves.

FRENCH NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Letter from the Commissioner with the army in the North.
Valenciennes, May 9.
“General Dumourier, who had his thigh carried away yesterday, by a ball, died this morning. The whole army regret in him a brave soldier, an able General and a sincere friend to the Republic. The confidence which he inspired in the troops by his noble proclamation, at the the time when the treachery of Dumourier was discovered; his military life always glorious and unspotted; and his death ought to be called to the remembrance of those who may endeavor to tarnish the splendor of his justly-acquired reputation. To-morrow we shall go, with all the good citizens, to moisten with our tears the laurels and cypress which will cover his grave.”
Signed, &c. &c.
The National Convention, deeply affected by the death of this brave General, charged the President to testify to his widow, their regret for this unfortunate event.
COLOGNE, May 5.
The present appearance of things seem to indicate, that we are on the eve of some great event. It is conjectured that the combined armies are meditating some secret and brilliant enterprize on the borders of the Upper Rhine. Our letters from Spire mention, that the corps of French emigrants, commanded by the Prince of Conde, has been embodied and organized on the footing of the Austrian troops. The van guard under M. Vioménil, set out on the 27th for Gemmer-sheim and Lingenfeld. Landau has been closely blockaded since the first instant. M. de Hohenloe, a Prussian general, is gone with 20,000 men towards the Sarrel, his head quarters will be at Canterlanten, an advantageous post, of which our troops have been desirous of getting possession.
As to Mentz it will not be attacked in form till all the works are finished; then the place will be battered day and night, by 400 pieces of cannon. It is said the plan of attack is so well concerted, that the garrison will not be able to hold out a fortnight.
An engagement took place lately near Landau, between the French and the Austrians, it is said that the latter were obliged to retire some leagues.
FRANKFORT, May 8.
The King of Prussia had a very narrow escape. A ball fell near and frightened his horse so much that he was very near falling on the King.
The French have been completely driven from Deux Pons by Prince Hohenloe.—In the action, however, the Austrians lost General Laudimont, a very brave and experienced officer.
The bridge between Mentz and Castel is broken, and the latter is on fire.
CHARLESTON, June 5.
Yesterday arrived here the ship Alexander Hamilton, Capt. Beecher, from New-Providen, in six days. By this vessel the following very important news is received: that a French fleet of nine sail of the line, with several frigates and privateers, had taken in with a British outward bound fleet for the East and West Indies and America, off Cape Finisterre, and captured nearly the whole, amounting to 160 sail. The ships of war which convoyed this fleet, being only two of the line and four frigates, got off—This account has so much more the appearance of truth, as it comes from a variety of channels, namely, the Havannah, St. Domingo and Jamaica.
PHILADELPHIA, July 3.
A correspondent informs, that an ingenious gentleman of this city has invented a machine that performs all the operations of hay-making except that of making up the hay in cocks, and may also be applied to gleening harvest fields to the greatest advantage. The machine is on a very simple construction, and is worked by a single horse. Different experiments have been made with it in the presence of several competent judges, who have been fully satisfied of its utility. Our correspondent therefore hopes both for the sake of the public and the inventor, that this machine may be generally known and employed.
August 3.
Abstract of Foreign intelligence, to the 24th of June, received by the June-packer, arrived at New-York.
On the 23rd of May a general attack was made on the French in their camp at Famars.—The action lasted 5 hours, about three hundred prisoners (says the London account) and ten pieces of cannon were taken from the French; 20 noncommissioned officers and about 300 of the combined armies fell.—An important victory had been gained over the French insurgents in Poitou, by General Kellerman, the rebels in Brittany have been prevented from uniting their forces by divisions among themselves and the want of magazines. A very formidable force was in motion against them the latter end of May. The Leydey-Gazette of May 26, mentions in an extract of a letter from Mannheim of May 9, that General Custine had succeeded, beyond expectation in succoring Mentz, which had been blockaded on all sides, having advanced at the head of a numerous army, he attacked General Wurmser, and obliged him to retreat. He then, with part of his troops, attacked a corps of the Prussian army under prince Hohenloe, at Carlsruhe, who soon abandoned that important post to the French.” From this article it appears, that the combined armies are actually driven from the posts which they had taken to cover the army besieging Mentz, that by this means the communication between this army and the combined armies acting on the Flanders frontier, is cut off. This will prevent all supplies from coming to the grand armies by the Rhine, and will in a great measure determine the fate of the campaign. The German papers confirm the above account, adding that the whole circle is in the highest alarm. On the 29th of May arrived at Ostend an English fleet of transports with horses, troops, and supplies, of all kinds for the grand armies. The French had made a sortie from Lille, and cut to pieces two of the best Dutch regiments. The Pollanders stood with their usual intrepidity, till

their ranks were so thinned and broke as to make further resistance impossible, when the greater part of the survivors were taken prisoners.
On the evening of May 29th, 7000 French troops marched from Dunkirk, and on the 30th attacked Mardyck, (twelve miles East from Dunkirk) where was posted a body of Dutch and Austrian troops to the number of 1200. They made a vigorous resistance, but were forced to yield to superior numbers. The French instantly came on and took possession of all the stores, and ammunition, deposited there for the use of the campaign. Vast numbers of wounded were sent to Ostend: universal panic had seized all descriptions of people, and the French army was looked for at Ostend on the 4th of June, where their whole dependence was on the troops just arrived from England, who, if they could not repel the French, would inevitably have the mortification of seeing the immense quantities of forage and other stores, designed for the combined armies, fall into the hands of the republicans. A body of 20,000 men of the French were lying before Lisle, to cover that city; another of equal strength lay at Bouchain; and a third in Maritine Flanders, to watch the enemy in that quarter. Every thing announced insuperable difficulties to the combined forces in their project of subjugating France. The Count d'Artois had been in England to negotiate with the British government to take into pay 15,000 Russians, whom the Empress had agreed to furnish, but not to maintain them. The Count met with a flat denial from the British Court. He was then at Hull, on board a Prussian frigate. General Miranda had been acquitted of all the charges exhibited against him, and General Servan was suspended in his command of the army of the Eastern Pyrenees. His successor is General Dellers.
The Republican, a small French privateer, was taken last week off Sandy-Hook, by the Boston Frigate, and sent into New-York.
The French Privateer, Sans Pareil, Capt. Boucheville, is arrived at Charleston. Since her leaving Cape-Francois she had taken four prizes, three of which were Spaniards; one of whom refused to strike to the Republican flag, and upon being boarded, the crew jumped overboard, where they were all killed or drowned, except 12 that were forcibly taken up by the privateer. After taking out their cash and what was valuable of their cargoes, the two others were set at liberty. The Sans Pareil also took an English brig, Howard, master, and sent her into Wilmington, North-Carolina.
On Wednesday morning last the French Frigate L'Embuscade dropped down from New-York to Sandy-Hook Bay, in order to go out and engage the Boston Frigate, according to challenge received from the Captain of the Boston. In one of the New-York papers, fast sailing vessels were advertised on the same day to take passengers out to the Hook, as spectators of the intended combat. From a paragraph in Mr. London's paper, it appears, that the greater part of such spectators were Tories and royalists, going down merely to congratulate Mr. Courtney on his safe arrival in these latitudes, and then to sneer off and look at the play.
'Tis yours the fate of fighting fields to try, 'Ours—to look on and see the valiant die.'
On the Monday preceding, capt. Bompard had transmitted the following letter to Captain Courtney, of the British Frigate Boston—dated on board the L'Embuscade, July 29.
SIR, I HAVE received an invitation by a Sloop which you boarded yesterday, to sail out of this harbor and fight your Frigate; I should not have hesitated a moment to comply with your wishes (which seem to me only ostensible) had you conveyed your challenge in the mode which honor prescribes. Upon an occasion of this kind, I should have written to the opposite commandant, and have pledged my honor that I was unattended by any other armed vessel, & that I would not employ any artifice or stratagem unbecoming the character of a brave and candid soldier; as you have conducted yourself in a different manner, you may be sensible that I cannot, consistently with my duty, expose the brave men I have the honor to command, on vague and unauthenticated reports. Therefore, Sir, if you are really the brave man you pretend to be, pursue the above measures, and as soon I receive your answer, I shall do myself the honor of waiting on you.
(Signed) "BOMPARD." Captain commandant of L'Embuscade.
Captain Bompard, having received no answer to the above letter, resolved however not to disappoint the martial ardor of Captain Courtney, and therefore sailed from New-York, as above-mentioned, to wait upon him.
We are informed the British frigate was manned for engaging with 295 able seamen and 45 boys. The L'Embuscade had 300 men and 40 boys, and 18 volunteers from a French East-Indiaman.
The affray that took place the other day in the New-York Tontitine Coffee-House, between some citizens of New-York and an officer of the British Frigate Boston (who had been sent up prize-master of the Republican privateer) is said to have arisen from the following circumstance.
The officer after vociferating a against the Americans as a nation, offered to bet a wager of 100 dollars, that the Boston would take the L'Embuscade Frigate in the intended engagement—"and he would instantly take the money, if he was sure it would be safe in this country." Upon this Mr. Jessop knocked him down—the officer rose and drew his sword—he was again knocked down, then seized by the nape of the neck and waistband of the breeches, and tossed from the gallery into the street. Some mercantile persons attempted to be insolent in his behalf, but were soon hushed by a saving glimpse of the Liberty Cap.
Late accounts from Ireland mention that upwards of ten thousand people were in arms in the Western parts of that island, committing every kind of havoc and devastation. The Military force was obliged to retreat before them. This insurrection is said to have been occasioned by the Militia act, and the present distresses arising from the war.
The Marquis de la Fayette is not dead, but still confined in the prison of Magdeburgh.
Letters from Holland advise, that the Prussian cavalry had been seized with the glanders, which makes it probable that they will not ride through France this summer.
WINCHESTER, August 12.
A letter from New-York, dated August 3, says, "The British frigate was beaten, but shewed the cleanest pair of heels—The L'Embuscade returned last night with a Portuguese prize—the fleet is also arrived."
By a Philadelphia paper of August 5, we learn that the British Frigate Boston arrived in the bay of Delaware on the 3d, but hearing there were two French frigates in the Port of Philadelphia, she weighed anchor and failed again, probably for Halifax.
While she was in the Bay, two officers of the French privateer Republican, who were prisoners and on board her during the action with L'Embuscade, were despatched with an account of the battle to the British Minister and Consul in Philadelphia, where they arrived on the 3d in the evening.
These officers inform that capt. Courtney and the first Lieutenant of Marines were killed in the heat of the engagement; that most of the officers were either killed or wounded; that in all there were 12 men killed and 32 wounded on board the Boston; five shot struck her between wind and water, and her rigging was considerably damaged.
Accounts from New-York, since the return of L'Embuscade, inform, that during the engagement, which lasted about an hour and a quarter, she had 8 men killed and 32 wounded, she has also suffered considerably in other respects.
Lexington, September 14. On Saturday last the Indians took 2 young men prisoners from Clarksville.
Dispatches from the Commissioners at Niagara, were received at Heat Quarters on Wednesday last, in 18 days from that place, with information that no treaty with the Indians has taken place, and that the Commissioners were on their return; in consequence of which the army are under marching orders, and express sent forward to this State for the Volunteers to rendezvous the 20th instant at George-Town.
A Man and woman were committed to jail in this town on Thursday last for passing counterfeit dollars.
In the Kentucky Democratic Society.
Meeting of Fayette, Monday the 9th of September 1793.
Resolved, that the second article of the Constitution of this society, so far as relates to the admission of members be suspended until after the next stated meeting; and that during that time the Society be open for the admission of any Citizens desirous of becoming members.
The officers of the Society then declared their intentions to vacate their offices at the next stated meeting, in order that the Fellow Citizens who may join them in consequence of the last resolution, may have an opportunity of giving their votes in favor of such persons as they may think proper to fill those offices until the next election.
William Murray from the committee of correspondence, made report that the committee had, agreeable to order, published a Circular Letter, to the citizens of this State, which was read and agreed to by the Society.
Ordered, that the Treasurer advance to the Clerks, a sufficient sum of money to furnish a book, or books for the purpose of recording therein the proceedings of this Society.
Ordered, that the Treasurer be authorised to provide a book for the purpose of keeping therein his accounts.
Ordered, that Robert Johnson, John Campbell, William Murray, James Hughes, James Brown, Barker Ewing and Levi Todd be a Committee, for the purpose of framing Rules and Regulations for the government of the Fayette meeting of this Society in their sittings, and that they make report to the next meeting.
Resolved, that the stated meetings in Fayette of this society, shall be at the State House in Lexington, on the Monday preceding the second Tuesday in every Month, precisely at eleven o'clock in the morning.
Resolved, that the Journal of the proceedings of this society be published in the Kentucky Gazette.
The Society then adjourned until the next meeting in course, A Copy. Test
THOMAS BODLEY, Clerk. Mr. BRADFORD;
I OBSERVED in your paper of the 3d of August ultimo, a publication signed Laban Shipp, wherein it is asserted, that "He gave two bonds to Horatio Hall in August 1791, amounting to about seventy pounds, payable in 1792, which bonds are paid off in full, and that the said Hall refuses to give up said bonds, thereby he forswears all persons from taking an assignment upon said bonds, as he can prove payment to the full amount thereof." The palpable absurdity and falsehood of such an assertion, as, that I have received full satisfaction for the amount of the bonds, will appear, evidently manifest to the public, by a brief statement of the facts, which I defy Mr. Laban Shipp to controvert.
Some time in the latter part of July, or in the beginning of August 1791, I sold Mr. Laban Shipp a stud-horse, for the sum of eighty pounds (payable in paper) and upon delivery of that horse to Mr. Shipp, I received from him a horse valued at twenty pounds, and for the balance then remaining he executed to me three different bonds—one of which I deposited with Captain Lanier, and one with Mr. Joseph Kentall, and a third is still in my possession—the two first being paid off, were delivered to Mr. Shipp; the third, which is still in my possession, amounting to twenty nine pounds, shall be instantly delivered to Mr. Laban Shipp, or any other person he pleases, when it is regularly & satisfactorily discharged.
I am, Sir, &c. Horatio Hall. Bourbon, September 13. 1793.
Whereas James Sullivan, some time in the summer of 1789, did procure a bond from Jacob Myers for the conveyance of a choice of one thousand acres of land on Brashee's creek, Cox's creek or Dick's river, for five hundred acres of which I obtained said Sullivan's bond to be conveyed whenever he should get a deed from Myers; which bond I did on the fall of the year 1791 assign to said Myers, in consideration of his agreement to deliver me a negro fellow between fifteen and eighteen years of age, which he has never performed; and fearing that Myers may transfer the said bond to some person ignorant of the premises, I do the more forewarn the public, that they may be individually guarded against taking any assignment of said bond by any manner or means whatever.
MOSES KUYKENDALL, Beargrass, August 20.
All persons indebted to the estate of Joseph Byers deceased, are hereby requested to make immediate payment; and those who have any demands against the same are desired to bring them in properly authenticated that provision may be made for the discharge thereof.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
The COMPLAINT.
WHEN will my every fear Be banish'd from my mind? When shall my clouded sky be clear From Tempest, storm and wind?
How oft I sit and sigh Beneath some heavy load! My hopes, my joys, my comforts die, And dark is my abode.
I grieve and I complain, Oppress'd with doubts & fears; I look for comfort, but in vain, Still I am drown'd in tears.
Where's my Trust in HIM, Who all my sorrow knows; Who can with mighty pow'r redeem My soul from all its woes?
