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 worm 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 infirmous 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 dyspepsia—sickness 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 preferred for use by every seaman. Lee's Elixir.
A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Catarrhs, Asthmas, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumptions. 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.

A safe and effectual remedy for acute and chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Palsy, Lumbago, Numbness, White-Swelling, Chilblains and Sprains, Bruises, Pains in the Face and Neck, &c.
Lee's Grand Restorative proves by long experience to be unequalled in the cure of Nervous Disorders, Consumptions, Low-ness of Spirits, Inward Weakness, &c. Twenty thousand cures have been performed by Lee's Sovereign Ointment for the Itch, which is warranted an infallible remedy by one application, without mercury of any other pernicious ingredients, being entirely a vegetable preparation.
Ague and Fever Drops, for the cure of Agues, Remittent and Intermit-tent Fever.
Persian Lotion, celebrated for the cure of Ringworms, Tetter-s, and all Eruptions of the Skin, rendering it soft and smooth.

Lee's Corn Plaister. Damask Lip Salve. Restorative Powder, for the Teeth and Gums.

With the Medicine is given a Bill of Directions, and on the outside wrapper, the signature of "R. Lee and Son," if particular attention is not paid to the signature, it is probable that disappointment will be the consequence.

FRENCH BULLETINS. SEVENTEENTH BULLETIN. Vienna, June 8, 1809. Col. Gorgoli, aide-camp to the emperor of Russia, has arrived at the imperial headquarters with a letter from his sovereign to the emperor and king. It announces that the Russian army is in the direction of Olmutz, having passed the frontier on the 24th of May.
The emperor passed the day before yesterday in reviewing his guard, infantry, cavalry and artillery. The inhabitants of Vienna have admired the number, the fine appearance, and the good conduct of these troops. The viceroy is with the army of Italy at Ebensberg in Hungary. It appears that the archduke John intends to rally his army on the Raab.
The duke of Ragusa arrived at Laybach on the 3d of this month with the army of Dalmatia. The heat is very great, and persons acquainted with the Danube say, that an inundation may be expected here in a few days. We shall profit by this circumstance to finish, independently of bridges of boats and rafts, the planting of piles.
All the intelligence we receive from the coast of the enemy announces that the cities of Pestburg, Brunn, and Znaim, are filled with the wounded. The Austrians themselves estimate their loss at eighteen thousand men. Prince Poniowski, with the army of the grand duchy of Warsaw, pursues his success. After the taking of Sandomir, he besieged the fortresses of Zimole and defeated the enemy, who lost three thousand men and thirty pieces of cannon. All the Poles who were with the Austrian army deserted.
The enemy, after having shown themselves before Thorn, have been vigorously pursued by gen. Dombrowski. The archduke Ferdinand does not retire without flame from his expedition. He is said to have arrived in Austrian Silesia, reduced to one third of his forces.
Count Metternich has arrived at Vienna. There will be an exchange at the advanced posts with the French legation, to whom the Austrians (contrary to the rights men) had refused passports, and whom they had carried away to Pest.
EIGHTEENTH BULLETIN. Vienna, 13th June, 1809. The division of General Gualtier, which revolted at Tyrol, passed through the neighbourhood of Clagenfurt on the 4th inst. on its way to Hungary. Gen. Rulca pursued and engaged it: the enemy was beaten; we took two prisoners. Prince Eugene with a considerable corps, is manoeuvring in the heart of Hungary. Within a few days the Danube has risen one foot.
General Graten, with a Dutch division, having marched to Strafsburg, where Schill had fortified himself, has carried his intrenchments by assault. Schill had given orders to let fire to the city in order to cover his retreat, but his hand had not time to execute it, it has been entirely killed or taken; he himself was killed on the great square at the moment he was making his escape and was endeavouring to reach the port to embark.
The archduke Ferdinand precipitately evacuated Warshaw June 21. Thus the whole of the grand duchy is abandoned by the enemy's army, whilst the troops under the command of prince Poniowski, occupy three fourths of Galicia.
AFFAIRS OF POLAND. The enemy continues his retreat with the same precipitation. On the 28th of May, twelve Polish spearmen upon reconnoitring duty met at Skirmiewicz, one hundred and ten Austrian dragoons who were retreating towards Rava; they routed them and made eleven prisoners. On the 30th in the morning, gen. Kozlinski, commanding the advanced guard, after having entered Lwów 23, proceeded as far as Sechaczew, where he met with more of them, who as it appears are retreating to Polica. Some reports, however, seem to indicate that the main of the Austrian army are bending their march to Upper

Si essa—They commit excesses every where; they carry away provisions, cattle and horses. The new levies of all the departments take place with the greatest rapidity and success.
The archduke Ferdinand, in contempt of the convention made with prince Poniatowski, and the engagement he had taken not to levy any contribution, has exacted one of 40,000 florins on the city of Warsaw. He has moreover required that the territorial impositions and the residue of a forced loan established in 1808, and whose payments fall due only in 1810 should be delivered up to him. These measures foretold the evacuation of Warsaw, which followed soon after.
Prince Poniatowski writes to the prince of Neuchâtel, from head quarters at Iława 25th May, that on the 24th the general of brigade Rofmeier rendered himself master of Jarosław where he has made one colonel 25 officers and 900 men prisoners of war. The occupation of that town intercepts entirely the communication between Cracow and Leopold, and injures to the army the possession of three fourths of Galicia. The advanced posts were within one day's march of Cracow.
The latest news received in the grand duchy, from the army of prince Poniatowski, mentions his having entered Brody, the last town of Galicia, near the frontiers, and that he has found there considerable magazines and abundance of provisions.

NINETEENTH BULLETIN.
Vienna, 16th June, 1809.
The anniversary of the battle of Marengo was celebrated by the victory of Raab, which the right wing of the army, commanded by the Viceroy, obtained over the two corps of the archduke John and of the archduke Palatine, which has formed their junction.
Ever since the battle of Piava, the viceroy has been closely pursuing the archduke John.
The Austrian army were expecting to take up their cantonments at the sources of the Raab, between St. Gotthard and Cormond.
On the 5th June, the viceroy set off from Neudat and moved his head quarters to Eidenbourg in Hungary.
On the 7th he continued his movements and arrived at Gens. Gen. Lauriston, with his corps of observation, joined his left wing.
On the 8th Gen. Montbrun, with his division of light cavalry, forced the passage of the Raba near Sovenyhaga, overthrew 300 dragoons belonging to the Hungarian insurrection and drove them back upon the Raab.
On the 9th, the viceroy marched against Sarvar. The cavalry of general Grouchy came up with the van of the enemy at Sarvar, and took some prisoners.
On the 10th, gen. Macdonald arrived at Cormond from Graz.
On the 11th the gen. of division Grenier met at Karako a column of the enemy's flankers which defended the bridge, and crossed the river by main force. Gen. Debrec, with the 9th hussars, made a spirited attack against a battalion of 900 men, and took 300 prisoners.
On the 12th the army marched by the way of the bridge of Merfa against Papa. From the height the viceroy beheld all the enemy's army drawn up in line of battle.
The general of division, Montbrun, a general of cavalry an officer of great promise, entered the plain, attacked, and overthrew the enemy's cavalry, after having executed several precise and vigorous manoeuvres. The enemy have already begun to retreat. The viceroy passed the night at Papa.
On the 13th, at 5 o'clock in the morning, the army began its march towards Raab. Our cavalry and that of the Austrians met at the village of Szazak. The enemy was routed and we took 400 prisoners.
The archduke John having formed his junction with the archduke Palatine near Raab, took a position upon the advantageous heights, his right protected by Raab, a fortified city, and his left covering the road of Compton another fortress in Hungary.
On the 14th, at 11 o'clock in the morning, the viceroy drew out his army in line of battle, and with 35,000 men he attacked 50,000. The ardour of our troops was further augmented by the remembrance of the memorable victory by which that day is consecrated. All the soldiers shouted with joy when they came in sight of the enemy's army, which was in three lines, and consisted of from 20 to 25,000 men, being the remains of the brilliant army of Italy, which so lately considered itself as master of all Italy; of 10,000 men commanded by general Hadick, and formed of the reserves in the Hungarian fortresses; of from 5 to 6,000 men, the rallied wrecks of the corps of Jellachich and of the other columns of the Tyrol, who had escaped from the movements of the army through the defiles of Carinthia; and of from 12 to 15,000 men of the Hungarian insurrection, cavalry and infantry.
The viceroy placed his army, the cavalry of general Montbrun, the brigade of general Colbert and the cavalry of general Grouchy upon his right; the corps of general Grenier, forming two echelons, the right of which consisted of the division of general Seras in front; an Italian division, commanded by gen. Baragua d'Hilliers, forming the third echelon, and the division of general Puthod in reserve. General Lauriston with his corps of observation, supported by general Sahuc, formed the extreme of the left wing and observed Raab.
At two o'clock in the afternoon the cannons began to play. At 3 o'clock, the first, the second and the third echelons were engaged. The fire of the musketry became very brisk; the enemy's first line was forced, but the second line stopped for a moment the impetuosity of our first echelon, which was soon reinforced and that line was also routed. The enemy's reserve was then brought into action. The viceroy who followed all the enemy's movements, marched on his side with his reserve; the strong position of the Austrians was carried, and at 4 o'clock the victory was decided.
The enemy being completely routed, would have found considerable difficulty in rallying if a defile had not obstructed the movements of our cavalry, three thousand prisoners, 6
pieces of cannon and 4 stand of colors are the trophies of this battle.—The enemy left on the field of battle 3000 killed, among whom was found a major-general. Our loss in killed and wounded, amounts to 900 men. Among the former is colonel Toierry, of the 23d regiment of light infantry, and among the latter, the general of brigade Talentin, and colonel Expert.
The viceroy makes particular mention of generals Grenier, Montbrun, Seras and Dunhouars. The Italian division Savailli displayed a great deal of precision and presence of mind. Several generals had their horses killed under them; four aid-de-camps to the viceroy were slightly wounded. The prince was constantly in the very heat of the battle. The artillery, commanded by gen. Sorbier, maintained their reputation.
The field of battle of Raab had been long marked out by the enemy, for he had some time before the battle announced his intention of maintaining that strong position.—On the 15th he was closely pursued upon the road of Comorn and of Pest.
The inhabitants of the country are quiet and do not take any part in the war. The proclamation of the emperor has agitated their minds. It is well known that the Hungarian nation have always been desirous of their independence. The part of the insurrection which is now with the army was raised by the last diet; it is under arms and it obeys.
TWENTIETH BULLETIN.
Vienna, June 20.
Within an hour after the news of the victory of Raab arrived at Buda, the Empress and all those attached to the government left this city.
The army of the enemy was pursued during the 15th and 16th. It crossed the Danube by the bridge of Comorn.
The city of Raab is invested. We hope to be masters of that important fortress in a few days. Considerable magazines have been found in the suburbs.
The suburb entrenched camp at Raab, which can contain 100,000 men was carried. The column which was intended to defend it was unable to reach it; its retreat was cut off.
A courier from Buda was intercepted. His dispatches written in latin, shewed the effect which the battle of Raab produced.
The enemy circulates false news throughout the whole country: this is part of the system adopted to stir up the lower classes of the people.
M. Metternich left Vienna on the 18th. He is to be exchanged between Comorn and Buda, with M. Dodun and other members of the French embassy.
Mr. d'Epiny, an orderly officer of his majesty, is arrived from Peterburgh. He visited the head-quarters of the Russian army. Prince Serge-Galitzen entered Galicia on the 3d inst. in 3 columns; viz. that of Gen. Levis by Drohobycz; that of Prince Gorfizakoff by Theresopol, and that of prince Suwarow by Włodzimierz.
TWENTY-FIRST BULLETIN.
Vienna, June 22.
An aid-de-camp of prince Joseph Poniatowski is arrived from the head-quarters of the army of the Grand Duchy. On the 10th of this month, prince Serge-Galitzen was to be at Lublin, and his van guard at Sandomir.
The enemy is pleased to spread ephemeral bulletins, in which he every day relates a victory. According to his assertion, he took 20,000 muskets and 2000 cuirassiers at the battle of Eslings. He says that on the 21st and 22d, he was master of the field of battle.—He has even caused a print of that battle to be engraved and spread about; he is exhibited in it striding from one bank to the other, and his batteries crossing the islands and field of battle in every direction. He also imagines a battle which he calls the battle of Kitzsee (1) in which an immense number of Frenchmen are supposed to have been taken or killed. These puerilities, hawked about by small columns of landwehr like that of Schilly, are tactics employed for the purpose of disturbing and raising the country.
Gen. Marziani, who was made prisoner at the battle of Raab, is arrived at head-quarters. He says that from the battle of the Piava, the archduke John had lost two thirds of his men; that he afterwards received recruits who nearly filled up the rolls, but who do not know how to make use of their muskets. He rates at 12,000 men the loss of the archduke John and of the Palatine at the battle of Raab. According to the report of the Hungarian prisoners, the archduke Palatine was the first in that battle to take flight.
Some persons have attempted to put in opposition the strength of the Austrian army at Eslings, estimated at 90,000 men, with the 30,000 men who have been made prisoners since the opening of the campaign: they have the vain little reflection. The Austrian army took the field with nine corps of 40,000 men each, and there were in the interior of the corps both recruits and landwehr; so that Austria had really upwards of 400,000 men under arms. From the battle of Aspern until after the taking of Vienna, comprising Italy and Poland, we may have taken 100,000 prisoners from the enemy, and he lost 100,000 men in killed, deserted or missing. There must then have remained to him 200,000 men more, distributed as follows:—The archduke John had at the battle of Raab 50,000 men. The principal Austrian army had, before the battle of Eslings, 90,000 men. There remained 25,000 men to the archduke Ferdinand at Warfaw, and 25,000 men were disseminated in the Tyrol, in Croatia, and spread as partizans over the confines of Bohemia.
The Austrian army at Eslings consisted of the first corps commanded by Gen. Bellegarde, the only one which had not fought, and was still entire, and of the wrecks of the 2d, the 3d, the 4th, the 5th, and the 6th corps which had been crushed in the preceding battles. If these corps had lost nothing and had been united such as they were at the commencement of the campaign, they would have formed 240,000 men. The enemy had no more than 90,000 men, thus we see how enormous are the losses which he had experienced.
When the archduke John took the field, his army consisted of the 8th and 9th corps, forming 80,000 men, at Raab it consisted of 50,000 men. Its loss would then have been 30,000 men. But in these 40,000 men were comprised 15,000 Hungarians of the insur-

rection. Its loss, therefore, was really 45,000 men.
The archduke Ferdinand had entered Warfaw at the head of the 7th corps, forming 40,000 men. It is reduced to 25,000. Its loss is, therefore, of 15,000 men.
We see how these different calculations support and verify each other.
The Viceroy beat at Raab 50,000 men with 30,000 Frenchmen.
At Eslings, 90,000 men were beaten and kept in check by 30,000 Frenchmen, who would have been completely routed and destroyed, had it not been for the event of the bridges, which produced the want of ammunition.
The great efforts of Austria have been the result of the paper currency, and of the resolution which the Austrian government took to risk all. In the danger of a bankruptcy which might have brought on a revolution, they preferred adding 500,000 to the mass of their paper currency, and to make a last effort to get it discounted by Germany, Italy and Poland.—It is very probable that this reason had more influence than any other upon their determination.
Not a single French regiment has been drawn from Spain, except the imperial guards.
General Count Lauriston continues the siege of Raab with the greatest activity.—The city has been already burning 24 hours, and that army which gained at Eslings, is now a victory, that it took 20,000 muskets and 2000 cuirassiers; that army which at the battle of Kitzsee killed so many men and made so many prisoners; that army which according to its apocryphal bulletins, obtained such great advantages at the battle of Raab, quietly sees its principal towns besieged and burned and Hungary inundated with parties, and makes the Empress, its disorders, all the valuable effects of its government, be carried off to the frontiers of Turkey and to the farthest extremities of the empire.
An Austrian major took a party across the Danube in two boats, at the mouth of the March. Gen. Gilly Vieux went to meet him with a few companies threw him into the water and took from him 40 prisoners.

Vienna, June 24.
The place of Raab has capitulated. That town is an excellent position in the centre of Hungary. Its enclosure is battalioned, its ditches are full of water, and an inundation overflows part of them. It is situated at the confluence of three rivers. It is from thence that the enemy was in hopes of obtaining reinforcement and training up the whole Hungarian insurrection and where he had immense works.—Its garrison (1800 men) was insufficient. The enemy intended to leave 5000 men in it; but by the battle of Raab his army has been separated from the place. This town has suffered by eight days' bombardment, which has destroyed the finest edifices. All that could be said on the uselessness of its defence has availed nothing; they amused themselves with the vain hopes of being relieved.
Two battalions of landwehr, two squadrons of hussars and a battalion of troops of the line forming together 2500 men, have entered Bayreuth. They have as usual, issued forth proclamations, and endeavoured to excite insurrection. At the same time, three battalions of landwehr a confused collection of men raised by the Duke of Brunswick, and some squadrons of cavalry drawn from different corps the whole amounting to 7 or 8000 men. The king of Westphalia assembled the 10th corps, and has taken the field. The Duke of Valmy (Kellerman) has put in motion, from Hanau, the advanced guard of the army of reserve which he commands.
SERIOUS INTIMATIONS.
Extract of a letter dated, Paris, June 12, 1809.
"The public papers will have apprized you of the events which have taken place on the Danube. But they will not inform you of the whole truth. It is said that our loss has been 40,000 men; but I think it is exaggerated by a fourth. What I know well, however, is, that the Empress wished to repair to Vienna, near the Emperor, which he prevented. The reason is that he would have it believed that HIS WOUND does not prevent him from commanding in person. Whereas, if the empress were with him, the army would think that his wound was dangerous; while not seeing her, nine tenths of the soldiers do not know that he was wounded on the 22d of last month. A prefect of the palace, one of my friends, has just let out for the army. He assures me that they have no solicitude about the life of the emperor, and that in despite of his physicians, he is occupied night and day with the prince of Neuchâtel (Berthier) in the care of his army, which he wishes to resume the offensive. His majesty does not conceal the inquietude which the North of Germany occasions him. He says emphatically that the campaign which is to be the last, gives him more solicitude than all the others together. We are here without fear, and without inquietude. Touching the result of the war, we feel confidence in the talents and foresight of that astonishing man; and we rely on the fidelity of Russia; although some evil willers, without doubt in the pay of England, have endeavoured to cloud the subject of our doubts. The credulous Gapers (Gobe-mouches) of the suburbs of St. Germain (Precincts of Paris) regard the Russian armies as already united to those of Austria, and the French troops are driven back to the borders of the Rhine."
"It must be acknowledged that we had fears for a moment for the grand army, at the first intelligence of the battle of the Danube; but all has been dispelled by the breath and subsequent bulletins. Private letters have been detained; but all have at length arrived and the truth is nearly known. Commerce is at an end. The maritime cities are totally ruined and without remedy should this state of things continue another year. Already some reports have arisen of insurrections in the South and the West of France; but those reports are distasteful."
"It was said that troops went from Spain to appease the troubles of the South, and that others, destined for Spain, had received counter orders in the environs of Bordeaux to pass into the departments of the West: but it is thought all that is at an
end. What afflicts the fathers of families, is that a new conscription is on foot. In that case, your nephew, Augustus, will be taken, although he is not 18 years old. He swears that he will not march; and it is to be presumed he will have many imitators."
It appears by a letter from Paris, dated June 12, that Bonaparte was wounded in the action of the 21st and 22d May, but slightly; that a new conscription is called for; that the loss of the French at 40,000 is an exaggeration of about one fourth, and that the emperor considers this as the last campaign.
We learn that by Mr. Coles, a letter was received at Washington from a gentleman at Paris, whose private connections with the French ministry give him the best means of information. He states that in the late action on the Danube, Bonaparte lost from forty to fifty thousand men including the hitherto invincible veterans, who spread terror and conquest every where; that Lafesse, after two unsuccessful attacks upon the Austrian centre, seized a standard to excite the drooping courage of his troops and marched up with it a third time, but was again repulsed and received his mortal wound. The emperor in person attempted in vain to stimulate them to a third assault: his troops would not follow.—(B. N. Am.)

(CIRCULAR.) Treasury Department, August 9th, 1809.
SIR, You will herewith receive the copy of a proclamation of the President of the United States, announcing that certain British orders in council were not withdrawn on the 10th day of June last, 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.
The act "to amend and continue in force certain parts of the act entitled "An act to interdict the commercial intercourse between the U. States and G. Britain and France and their dependencies, and for other purposes," passed on the 28th day of June, is therefore in every respect applicable to G. Britain and her dependencies, as well as to France and her dependencies; any thing in my circular of 29th June last, to the contrary notwithstanding.
It results that from the receipt of this, you must in every instance, except as hereinafter expressed, refuse clearances for British ports, in the manner provided by the 3d section of the act above mentioned. But as many British vessels as have or may come into the ports of the United States in consequence of the president's proclamation of the 19th of April last, he directs that you will permit such British vessels to depart without giving bond, either in ballast, or with the cargo on board when notified of the enclosed proclamation; it being however understood that this indulgence shall not be extended to any other vessels than such as are now in the ports of the United States, or such as may hereafter arrive, having failed from a foreign port before information of the enclosed proclamation shall have been received at such port.
The president also directs that, until a decision from Congress on that unexpected point shall have been obtained, or until otherwise instructed seizures or prosecutions for supposed contraventions of either the above mentioned act or of the non intercourse act of 1st March last, arising from acts which would, in conformity with his proclamation of the 19th April last, have been considered as lawful, shall be suspended in the following cases, viz.
1. All vessels which have entered a British port since the 10th of June last or which may hereafter enter such port, having failed for the same before information of the enclosed proclamation had been received at the port of departure; so far as relates to any forfeiture or penalty which may accrue by reason of their having thus entered a British port.
2. All vessels which have arrived, either from British ports or with British merchandise in the United States, subsequent to the 10th of June last; and also all vessels which may hereafter thus arrive, having failed for the U. S. before information of the enclosed proclamation shall have been received at the port of departure—so far as relates to any forfeiture or penalty accruing from having arrived or arriving in the United States from British ports or with British merchandise.
3. All vessels now owned by citizens of the U. States, and failing under the American flag, which, being in a foreign port at the time when the enclosed proclamation shall be made known at such port, shall with all due diligence depart therefrom, and return without delay to the United States; so far as relates to any forfeiture or penalty accruing from their arriving in the U. States from British ports or with British merchandise.
In the above mentioned cases of vessels arriving in the United States, and which are for the present exempted from seizure, the vessels and cargoes may be admitted to entry.
The time when the enclosed proclamation shall have been known at the ports of departure respectively, must be ascertained by the best means in your power; and you may refer doubtful cases to this department.
Application may of course still be made in all cases for an absolute remission of the forfeitures and penalties in the manner provided by law; the instruction herein given, to abstain from prosecutions & forfeitures in the abovementioned cases, being only intended to prevent the expenses & inconveniences to which the parties concerned would otherwise be exposed.
I am respectfully, Sir, Your obedient servant, ALBERT GALLATIN.

The Winchester silver mine proves to be no mine at all. A fellow by the name of Vanlice pretended to have discovered excellent ore on the lands of a Mr. Davis, and by various deceptions imposed on people in the neighbourhood, until he formed a company of share-holders; and was furnished with a number of shares gratis, for discovering and managing the mine. He sold some of the shares and absconded; when the credulous Virginians found that they had been taken in.
THE SUBSCRIBER
Being about to move his rope walk to Winchester, eighteen miles only from Lexington—where he intends carrying on his business more extensive than before—he begs leave to inform his customers, and purchasers of all kinds of cordage throughout the states—that he will be in complete readiness for business by the 1st of December next—and those that may please to favor him with their business in that line, may rely upon the strictest attention being paid, and their work warranted well done, as well as the greatest punctuality observed in all contracts. He also pledges himself, that his prices shall be equally low as ever, and the terms of payment made as easy as possible. He further will open in Winchester, the center part of a fine country for tobacco, by the 1st of November next, a handsome assortment of FALL GOODS, and no doubt but a plenty of tobacco will offer for sale; orders from purchasers of that article will be punctually attended to, and thankfully received.

July the first—at Night.
STOLEN from the subscriber a brown HORSE, about seven or eight years old, about fourteen and a half hands high, heavy made to his height, both his hind feet white from his hoof about half way up his legs, a small white speck in his forehead, is docked but not branded, trots natural and works well, has what is called a Roman nose, and when he walks along he motions his head up and down as if he was drawing a heavy draught. I believe it was taken by Harrodsburgh; he was seen going by there with a man riding him on the fourth day of July, without saddle or bridle, with a rope halter only. It is supposed that a man from Natchez took him, and was intending to stop in some of the upper counties of Kentucky, or in Ohio state, or perhaps went on to Wheeling or Redstone. Any person finding out where said horse is, and will give notice to the owner, so that he can get him, shall be entitled to a reward of ten dollars, from the subscriber, living in Barren county, on the road leading from Lexington to Nashville, between Prewitt's Knob and the Dripping Springs.
The subscriber also offers for sale the most valuable stand for a tavern between Lexington and Nashville, where the subscriber now lives; with about forty acres of cleared land under good fence, about 250 good apple trees beginning to bear, with buildings and other conveniences according, roads intersecting on both sides more than any other place between Lexington and Nashville, and the road can never be turned away from said place. The subscriber will sell 400 acres or more, if wanted, for cash, negroes and horses. For terms apply to the subscriber, living on the premises. Ephraim Puckett.

FROM THE WESTERN WORLD
A BON-MOT.
Governor Scott.—After this gentleman had given his vote with his characteristic discernment, in the late election, for Col. Greenup, he took occasion to observe that all those who voted for Mr. Marshall, were Tories.—Why, so we were last year, when we voted for Governor! was the prompt, but sarcastic reply, of a man, worth to his country his weight in gold.
GOVERNOR SCOTT.
We have heard of men's living in glass houses, and in tender mercy, we caution this gentleman not to begin to throw stones.
GOVERNOR SCOTT.
A phenomenon in physics, this gentleman whom the people of Kentucky put into office as the anti-pode, to Spanish Conspirators, Burrites, &c, is seen to unite very kindly with them in the late election. The effervescence, so common in chemical experiments where heterogeneous bodies are thrown together, seemed to be altogether thrown on their adversary. And the governor with equal truth and politeness calling Mr. Marshall, Federalist and Tory, advised the people not to vote for him. And they, impugning the admonition of its true source, elected Mr. Marshall!
Query.—Did Governor Scott exhibit himself, on the first day of the late Election, at the Court-House, with the same laudable purpose, for which the old Grecians, used to expose their slaves, drunk—as a subject of derision, and a caution to their young men? If so, it must be admitted that the picture was to the life—and that the Governor merits the thanks of his country, as he did those of Gen. Washington at the battle of Monmouth!

MR. HUMPHREY MARSHALL.
Sir.—The public have lately seen in the "Western World" the character of our worthy governor most basely assailed. From a variety of circumstances, I am fully persuaded that no other than yourself, the libertine father of that ballad paper, is the author of these aspersions. When the public see charges brought against the characters of its officers and servants, they are generally disposed to enquire into the grounds upon which those charges are advanced; but really I am much inclined to doubt whether they will consider your declaration as a sufficient basis of enquiry. You are, Sir, a man of some notoriety in this country. In the grand council of the Union, where you once had the honor to stand as a senator, you became eminently distinguished for your perfidy and treachery. At a much later period charges were established against you in the assembly of our own state, to the satisfaction of a disinterested & enlightened committee; which ought in my humble opinion to have disqualified you from maintaining your seat, and to have entailed on you the contempt of every man in the community. In fine, Sir, in almost every transaction of your whole life, which has made you at all conspicuous, your name and infamy have been so inseparably united, that I much question whether it is even necessary to deny your charges in order to destroy your credibility. It is an old saying, that a man who is in the habit of telling untruths is not to be believed tho' he tells the truth, and the people will now seldom credit you without proof from honest men. Produce that testimony, and we will then credit you. I do believe that the fame of Gen. Charles Scott, treasured and boarded up in the hearts of a grateful people, is safe from the rude touch of malignant, heartless slander. But you Sir, shall not find in the anticipated silence of his friends, the semblance of a triumph. You had a right to calculate on the small testimony of their contempt. You indeed merited it.—But his friends, as warm as those of whom you so much boasted, cannot see his character so grossly injured, without expressing their sentiments on the occasion. But perhaps I do wrong in presuming equal solicitude with your friend. There is not an equal relationship, for I have very little doubt but that this friend of yours at the election was no other than Humphrey Marshall a few days afterwards in his closet. If so, good God, by what strange and wondrous metamorphosis have you become "worth your weight in gold to your country?" Really you must have been wrought upon by the philosopher's stone. Had you lived at a time and among a people where fraud, and cunning, and perfidy were held valuable, you would have been an invaluable citizen.—But haplessly for you, nature was as indifferent as to the period of your birth, as she was to the formation of your heart—more so, she could not have been. We have established different criterions of merit & demerit; & just as much as we value virtue, honor & integrity, just so much do we despise vice. Let the stranger who wishes to know your value, ask the poor mourning widows and injured orphans whom you have ruined, & sent forth upon the world "the houseless children of want" in your dishonest speculations, what you are worth, and they will tell him—They will not do you injustice in the recital—Yet, bleeding with the wounds you have inflicted, they will not, cannot exaggerate your vices. And you are the man who dare to threaten Gen. Scott, by insinuating that you know more than you have yet told—"That the General's house is built of glass." The people of Kentucky despise your insinuation as much as they contemn you. His fame will be found treasured up "inter penesilia," in those sacred recesses where your unhallowed feet will never tread. His reputation is surrounded with a battlement which you can never mount, and impervious to the shafts of your poor spiteful malice. Such an insinuation I never did expect to see; so entirely incompatible with his character.—There is not a man on earth whose heart is more easily read than Gen. Scott's. Brave, generous, and candid, he never disguised a feeling of his heart. He yielded to each impulse of his noble soul, & in every word or deed displayed the terror & sincerity of his nature. Yet this man, this patriot, this hero, you would insinuate, has his treasured guilt. He dares you to proclaim it. He challenges you to charge upon "his glassy house." But you will never do it. Poor faint-hearted wretch! You would tremble before the lightning of his eye, tho' his withered arm portends no danger. The eye of an innocent and an injured man speaks forcibly to the guilty heart, however hardened in corruption & iniquity. Had you Sir, possessed half of the boldness & candor which marks the character of our first magistrate, you would have signed your name; you would not have skulked to hide like a poltroon, in the hour of danger. But you support your former and your real part in the drama. You act "it to the life." Your friend too, who candidly confessed he was a Tory twelve months ago, as well as now, (and if I am right in my conjecture at the person, I have every reason to believe it) plays his part pretty well, and is very confident in every circumstance but one. It is strange that he should vote for his anti-pode Gen. Scott as chief magistrate.
will then credit you. I do believe that the fame of Gen. Charles Scott, treasured and boarded up in the hearts of a grateful people, is safe from the rude touch of malignant, heartless slander. But you Sir, shall not find in the anticipated silence of his friends, the semblance of a triumph. You had a right to calculate on the small testimony of their contempt. You indeed merited it.—But his friends, as warm as those of whom you so much boasted, cannot see his character so grossly injured, without expressing their sentiments on the occasion. But perhaps I do wrong in presuming equal solicitude with your friend. There is not an equal relationship, for I have very little doubt but that this friend of yours at the election was no other than Humphrey Marshall a few days afterwards in his closet. If so, good God, by what strange and wondrous metamorphosis have you become "worth your weight in gold to your country?" Really you must
have been wrought upon by the philosopher's stone. Had you lived at a time and among a people where fraud, and cunning, and perfidy were held valuable, you would have been an invaluable citizen.—But haplessly for you, nature was as indifferent as to the period of your birth, as she was to the formation of your heart—more so, she could not have been. We have established different criterions of merit & demerit; & just as much as we value virtue, honor & integrity, just so much do we despise vice. Let the stranger who wishes to know your value, ask the poor mourning widows and injured orphans whom you have ruined, & sent forth upon the world "the houseless children of want" in your dishonest speculations, what you are worth, and they will tell him—They will not do you injustice in the recital—Yet, bleeding with the wounds you have inflicted, they will not, cannot exaggerate your vices. And you are the man who dare to threaten Gen. Scott, by insinuating that you know more than you have yet told—"That the General's house is built of glass."

It is strange that he should vote for his anti-pode Gen. Scott as chief magistrate.
You have indeed made one serious charge against him. You say that he is seen to unite very kindly with Spanish conspirators, Burrites, &c. Sir, if you mean that Gen. Scott is favourable to conspiracies of any kind against the present government, we will do more than despise your malignity, we will laugh at your ignorance and stupidity. The toils and labours which he underwent for the establishment of the present constitution and independence of America sufficiently answer the charge. But this was not the ultimate aim of his dangers and trials. Till within a few years past we frequently called him from his lovely retreat to guard our wives, our children and our homes, from the merciless invasions of the savage. Did he ever refuse his children's summons? Has he not sacrificed in service and duty to this country, two gallant sons? Did he not expose himself to every danger and to every form which could assail him from savage fury or an inclement heaven? Did he not share with us our humble labors? To you, the partners of his toils I speak. Have we not seen him "in summer's luns and winter's snoes" plodding the dreary pathway for our service? Have we not seen him tall, manly and majestic, stalking undaunted through the blood-stained field? And all for whom? For us, Kentuckians. Shall we then hear him arraigned as partial to traitors, with all those evidences of attachment before us and feel no indignation against his slanderer. Heaven and gratitude forbid it! Upon what ground have you made your accusations? Merely because he did not vote for you. I will give you his reasons. He believed you to be no friend to your country. He contemned your political character, as much as he despised your private one. Fraud and deception appeared alike in both. Every circumstance conspired to cloud your character and render you an object of public odium and of private contempt. You had violated your faith in a public capacity. In a private one, what had you not done degrading even to the vile? You had altered records, you had altered falsehoods, you had fraudulently wrested from the poor their little pittance, and yet you ask the friend of virtue and of man to give you his vote, or rather you complain of his not having done so. Exclusive of those potent and insurmountable objections to you, the General had many reasons for voting for Col. Greenup. He was an honest man and had gone through the test of probation with honor and credit. Such a man merits the meed of virtue, the approbation of sympathetic bosoms. Because Spanish conspirators, &c, voted for Greenup, must Gen. Scott renounce him? You have never charged Greenup as a conspirator, and it would require more logic than you possess to prove, that because the General may be attached to Greenup, he is likewise partial to every man who may have voted for him. Do not let your prejudices dim entirely your mind. The distinction between Greenup and his supporters, is not so nice a one as to have eluded research, at a very natural one.—Your honest constituents (and I dare say you have some) no doubt reflect with pleasure on the difference between yourself and them, and would regret any thing like an amalgamation of their principles with yours.—Learn a little justice. I see in you no im-
provement from age but in malevolence and the ways of guilt. The people are not malicious. They will ascribe your conduct to its "true source." They will never heed your slanderous tales or your mean unmanly actions. The flock knows its faithful shepherd. The citizens of Kentucky will never cast dirt upon the head bleached and whitened in their service. They will show you that like the viper in the fable you bite against a friend. Indeed you remind me of a serpent blinded by the quantity and malignity of its own poison. It strikes at every found. Your attack in this instance is truly natural. Vice and Virtue have ever been at war.—The good in every age have laboured under injuries from the profligate and the base; and he is most the philosopher who can bear them with least concern. The General may, perhaps condescended to testify his contempt by a smile, but you will find it difficult to excite in his bosom a nobler feeling against you.
Your query, Sir, and its appendage is like the fountain from which it springs, impure and noxious in the extreme. Was not Gen. Marshall, the author of that quotation personally Scott's enemy? Was it not entailed upon him as it has been upon you? Suppose in the plenitude of his magnanimity he left the man in the historian, what ground has he for the statement? The declaration of Gen. Lee. Good Heavens, is this all the evidence which a historian would require, appointed to record facts for the benefit of unborn millions? Gen. Lee has been and ever will be criminated for his conduct on that day, & yet the very means which he adopts to transcribe the odium from himself is received by the recorder as "strong as holy writ." Let me humbly suggest that the sentence of the court martial should be taken before his affection. But the worst you can make of this untruth (I venture to pronounce it) is a mistake. To this all mankind are liable.—But you have laid your devouring hand on his only failing, and for that held him up to the world in derision. What if in the warmth and conviviality of his heart he does sometimes take a glass too much with a friend? Is this to blot out all his virtues and cancel all his services? Shall this single failing cloud virtues which would have given lustre to a Roman in the days of Italian prowess? A failing too which seems to lean on virtue. A charge which "the accusing spirit" would almost "blush to give in." Blindness to the faults of a benefactor may easily be forgiven. There is so much virtue in it, it scarce seems an error.—But what are we to think of that man who, like you, blind to his virtues, only exaggerates and blasphemes his little frailties? The people will not treat him as you have done. They will cherish the sacred remembrance of his virtues and his services. When in our revolution, the sword of tyranny, horrid and bloody was suspended over our devoted heads, did he not boldly step forward one of the champions of our cause? Did he not lead the front of battle and break our chains over the heads of our tyrants? Did he not bring us out of the house of bondage? And shall we in the retribution of gratitude which is due to him for all this, coldly stop to scrutinize his little frailties? No—We will give him our approbation.—It is time his probation was over. He has gone through fire and water for us, and let us not coolly and carelessly hear him traduced and slandered. Did he not chafe our savage foes away and make "the desert smile." If merit is thus to be insulted and the people do not respond to it with their warmest indignation, when there are other calls and other tyrants may invade our shores, I fear we shall not find other Scotts, who will hazard all for a doubtful return of fame. Shall he stand as a monument of slighted merit, a spectacle to frighten virtue from our shores? If he meets in his declining years the scoffs and taunts of his country, well may he say with Wolsey in the language of disappointment,
"Had I but served my God with half the zeal I served my country" he would not in "mine age Have left me naked to mine enemies." AN OLD SOLDIER.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE KY. GAZETTE. Baltimore, July 31st, 1809.
DEAR SIR, ANNEXED is a copy of a letter I addressed to Mr. Elkine on the 23d inst. It appeared in the Whig in this town, on the 25th, possibly you may incline to publish it as suiting the politics of your paper.
To the Honorable Mr. ERSKINE.
Sir, IT rarely falls to the lot of any man to find himself in the situation you are now placed in: standing as the ambassador of reconciliation, between two great nations—the administration of the one full of confidence and good faith, calling on you to support the cause of truth and justice. The other which is easily distinguished as your own requiring you with all the influence and policy of their natural duplicity, to deny the instructions you have received, and to sacrifice at one blow every thing dear to man; your honor, your character, and your fame to their vile and deceitful machinations.—God forbid that the son of Thomas Erskine, one of the ablest and best patriots that England ever reared, should stand in need of being told what is best for him to do, when the question of choosing between duty, or fostering a vile administration that would disgrace the councils of a Nero, a Caligula, or a Diocletian. It is scarcely necessary to remind you, be just and fear not. All the wealth of England is not sufficient to tempt you, nor their power to terrify you to desert the cause of truth and justice, if you will only hearken to the dictates of your own conscience, which I trust you will always find an approving monitor: a better boon than is in the power of Kings or Emperors to bestow.
Yours, ARISTIDES.
BOSTON, August 12.
The ship Golden Age, capt. Renick, arrived last evening from Cadiz, which she left the 1st of July. Mr. Peal, a passenger lately favored us with a file of the Spanish Government Gazette to the 26th of June, and the following veal articles.
That the French were concentrating their force in the vicinity of Madrid:— That the army of gen. Blake had advanced from Tarragona, the French entered Arragon, but in an attempt to recover Saragossa, was attacked by the French, beaten and compelled to retreat.
That Marshal Victor had evacuated Estramadura: He was followed by Cuesta, who had 70,000 men under him; and the English army under General Wellesley was at Badajoz.
That the Spanish army of La Mancha had advanced to within 10 leagues Madrid— That the enthusiasm of the Spanish Patriots
had regained its prime height; that no deficieny existed of the success of their cause; that the decrees of the supreme Junta were universally respected and obeyed; that the great body of the people appeared resolved to die, rather than submit to French domination; and that the English and Americans were highly respected.
FROM A LATE LONDON PAPER.
SHERIFF'S COURT, MAY 12.—CHIM CON. Wellesley, Esq. vs. Lord Paget.
The particulars of the elopement of lady Charlotte Wellesley with lord Paget have already been amply detailed to the public, and their relative situations in life, with the parental claims upon their fidelity, are too well known to require further explanation. Suffice it, that the much injured plaintiff, after the loss of his lady's infidelity had lubdubbed, applied to the laws of his country for redress, and brought his action against the noble lord. The defendant suffered judgement by default, thereby acknowledging the adulterous intercourse; and this day a jury was impanelled before Mr. Burchell, the sheriff, to assess the damages.
Mr. Garrow, with great eloquence and feeling, depicted the previous state of happiness enjoyed by the plaintiff and his wife, and recounted the numerous offspring, the fruit of their nuptial intercourse. He then drew an affecting picture of the mental distress into which the incontinence of his lady had plunged him. Nor was he less eloquent in describing the misconduct of the defendant, who, he said, had courage enough to conquer every other enemy but his own passions. This speech was followed by evidence of the facts, and a speech in mitigation of damages, by Mr. Dallas; when the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, Twenty Thousand Pounds.
I call on Mr. Charles Humphreys, for further explanations. I hope he will not in future give the public his assertions for facts. There might have been more expected from the logical part of Mr. H. or the scientific lawyer, (although he did bring a sumptuous & petition in a critical case of covenant broken) but great men sometimes err—nevertheless, I have been taught to believe, that it took evidence to establish facts. He has stated but one fact relative to our dispute, and that is so exaggerated, that he has destroyed the little credit which he might have achieved from it; but left it should not be known, I'll state it for him, as follows:—Mr. H. may see in Messrs. Scott, Trotter, & Co's. books, that he only paid twenty eight dollars in part of an account amounting to about eighty dollars, for which, I let him have a note and other accounts on those, he said, he owed, (and I am authorized to say) from whom he expected less indulgence than he has generally found in S. T. & Co. He says in providing for the debts due by us, he undertook to discharge about two thirds. Why did he not tell the public, that our firm furnished him means to pay the whole? that he kept the funds of the shop low? that he was always beforehand in collecting the best debts due us? that he had not yet paid the debts he undertook! "But he cannot say with certainty as he left the books in my possession." Those books will show him with certainty, that he received about 200 dollars from a bank, of which he had such an itching to become the president; that he received about $120 from Mr. Wilson, and several accounts of about the same magnitude; that he took care to do all this, before he dissolved our partnership; and that by his art I received no account that amounted to 50 dollars in all our transactions together. He says I neglected the shop—how paradoxical. Purse his chain a link or two, and he says a very handsome sum fell to my share. If his shop had been carried on in conjunction with me, he would not be shoeing horses all round for one dollar. He seems to exist in a farcatic way at my poverty. I would thank him to inform the public, what he ever gave to, or lost, by me. Did he lay me under obligation, when I deposited 2 or 300 dollars with him, and could only obtain it again from him in little dribbles—a great part of which in goods; the want of which he knew injured my credit. For the certainty of this, I refer to Mr. Samuel Trotter, Treasurer of the Union Fire Company.
He reflects on me for hiring his last journeyman, Hunt; but Mr. Meredith will assure him, that I did not make application for Hunt until I fully understood that he, Mr. H. could not obtain him.
Topardon Mr. H.'s abuse of orthography, he accuses me of making a ridiculous appeal to the public. The public must be deaf to facts, or deem Mr. H. the proper subject of ridicule. The man's heart must be in a petrefied state, or already petrified, that can read the certificate below without reprehensible—it cannot fail to flash conviction to the most prejudiced mind on the subject—it completely unfuls the sheep-skin cloak, that has so long concealed the wolf.
LEWIS H. SMITH. August 28th 1809.
Messrs. Henry I. Robert, & Co.
GENTLEMEN—HAVING understood that I have been censured by you, for non-compliance with my promise in hiring my negro man Hunt to you (as you have slated to several gentlemen.) In justification of my conduct, as also guarding against an attack upon my character; I beg leave to state a few facts to the public, through the medium of a newspaper.—They are as follows, viz.
Some time last winter, I saw Mr. Robert in Messrs. C. Humphreys & Co's store, and as I suppose, (mistook him for the assistant in the store.) He asked me if they could keep Hunt on the same terms, they had him last year—I answered, him that I knew nothing to the contrary; then supposing that he was soliciting in behalf of Lewis H. Smith & Co; and having been much pleased with Smith, and knowing that Hunt wished to serve him, was myself willing to continue him with them—Some time afterwards, I was applied to by Smith to hire him Hunt. I was much surprised. I observed, that I considered Hunt already engaged to them, (meaning Smith & Humphreys.) He informed me of the dissolution of the partnership between himself and Humphreys, which
was the first time I knew any thing about it. But I do not hesitate to say, that I felt gratified to have it in my power to oblige Smith; as to Mr. Humphreys, I have nothing to say to him any farther. H. has treated me very unfeelingly, nay, ungentlemanly. Perhaps the public will be surprised to find a man of Mr. Humphreys's standing in society, tampering with the lives of others, endeavoring to inculcate disaffection between them and their masters—telling them that their masters owe more than they are worth—that they will be sold—to throw themselves in the way of the sheriffs—that there were executions against their master's property—that he, Mr. Humphreys, was a good master and would buy them.
From this cause I have had an aversion to hiring Hunt to him, or having any other transaction with him through life, on such business. As to Mr. Robert, I have nothing against him, know nothing about his business, W.M. MEREDITH.

MUSEUM OF WAX-FIGURES.
OLLENDORF AND MASON Respectfully inform the Ladies and Gentlemen of Lexington, that they have opened as the Kentucky Hotel, a new and elegant collection of WAX-FIGURES. Judged by connoisseurs, to be equal, if not superior, to any ever exhibited in America! AMONG WHICH ARE THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERS:
An excellent representation of General George Washington. Giving orders to the Marquis de la Fayette, his Aid. In another scene, the General is represented as fallen a victim to death, and the tears of America, represented by a beautiful Female, weeping over him: which makes it a most interesting scene.
His Excellency Thomas Jefferson. General Bonaparte, In Martial Action. A striking representation of the unfortunate duel between
Gen. Hamilton and Col. Burr. In this interesting scene, the Colonel is represented in the attitude of firing, while the General stands at his distance, waiting the result of the first fire: both accurate likenesses.
The Death of Gen. Braddock, Who fell in Braddock's defeat. An Indian is represented scalping the General, while one of his men, in an attempt to rescue him out of the hands of the Indians, was overtaken by another Indian, who is ready to split him with his tomahawk.
Mrs. Jerome Bonaparte, Formerly Miss Patterson. The Sleeping Beauty, ELIZA WHARTON. Or the AMERICAN COQUETTE, with her favourite gallant, & her intimate friend, Miss Julia Granby.
THE MUSEUM will be open from Ten o'clock in the morning till Nine in the evening, every day, and will be removed from this place on Friday evening, the first of September. Admittance Fifty Cents for grown persons—Children Half Price. Use all the eyes of Argus: but not the hands of Briareus.
PROFILES Taken with accuracy at the Museum.
Georgetown Jockey Club Races WILL commence on Thursday the 28th of September next: the first day three mile heats; the second day two mile heats, and the third day one mile heats—free for any horse, mare or gelding, carrying the following weight:

The members of the club are notified to attend the stated meeting on Wednesday the 27th of September next, at the house of Peter Mason, in Georgetown, at three o'clock, P. M. Thomas W. Hawkins, Secretary.
Patent Hemp-Spinning Machine.
THE patentee has now in operation at his residence in Flemingsburg, Ky. one of his lately invented machines for spinning hemp and flax; from which he is enabled, from experienced, to say, that four boys or girls of twelve years of age, can do spin sufficient warp and filling for fifty yards of cotton baling, of forty inches wide, per day, with ease. On the subject of dispatch, he thinks it sufficient to observe that on his machinery the stuff can be spun as fast as the spinner can possibly pull it out.
Among the comparative advantages of his system are the following, viz—
 1st. The immense saving of manual labour by the substitution of machinery.  2d. Dispatch.  3d. The thread is abundantly more even and durable than that manufactured in the long factories.  4th. Economy. A complete system with four spindles can be put in operation at an expense of from forty to fifty dollars, and worked in a room 14 by 16 feet, and is perfectly susceptible of extension to any number of spindles, to be worked by water or horses, at much less that a proportional increase of expense and room.  5th. His system on a small scale, could be advantageously used in private families, for domestic purposes, and particularly in the manufacture of cloth for their slaves.  6th. In his system the tow of both the hemp and flax is easily spun into suitable filling for cotton baling, (although not so specifically as hemp.)  7th. The aged, decrepit and young, who can sit up and have the use of their hands, can be advantageously employed in this system, while the more hardy, healthy and athletic, may be usefully employed in more laborious branches of husbandry and manufactory. 
The patentee hopes that his system, uniting the advantages enumerated above, will be resorted to by those who are about to vest their capital & force in manufacturing the materials for which it is so eminently calculated.
The price of permission to use his system will be five dollars per small wheel or spindle, but the patentee would prefer selling the right to states or counties. N. Foster.
August 25, 1809. It is hoped that such editors of newspapers throughout the United States as are disposed to promote domestic manufactures, will give the a love a few insertions in their respective papers. M. Foster.

POETRY.
SONG.
Written by the celebrated Dr. Franklin in honor of his wife. OF their Chioes and Phillises poets may prate, I sing of my plain country Joan; Now twelve years my wife, still the joy of my life— Bless'd day that I made her my own!
With peace and good humor my household she guides, Right careful to save what I gain, Yet cheerful attends and smiles on my friends, Whom with pleasure I oft entertain.
In health, a companion delightful and dear; Still easy, engaging and free; In sickness, no less than the tenderest nurse, She's tender as tender can be.
She defends my good name, e'en when I'm to blame, Friend firm at her side was given: Her compassionate breast feels for all the distress'd, Which draws down the blessings of heaven.
Some faults we have all—and so may my Joan, But then they're exceedingly small; And now I'm us'd to them they're so like my own, I can scarcely discern them at all.
Was the fairest young Princess, with millions in purse, To be had in exchange for my Joan, She could not be a better, she might be a worse, So I'd e'en be content with my own.
In the Dublin theatre, it is the custom of the Irish Gods to express their dislike or approbation of any person or performance by a groan or a clap. Whilst the union was in agitation, and the ex-minister very unpopular, Blue Beard happened to be represented, when after the celebrated duetto of 'Pit-a-Pat Pit-a-Pat,' &c. a fellow in the gallery roared out—'Come now my honies, a groan for Pat, and a clap for Pat.'
From the Minerva.
MR. BOYLAN. Is requested, if he thinks proper, to insert in the Minerva the following singular circumstance respecting a Bird:
On Wednesday, the last of May, 1808, I preached at James' Meeting house, in Bruns-wick county, Virginia; then on my way to Newbern, North-Carolina, and lodged that night at Mr. Isaac Walton's in Greenville county. In a conversation with him on va-rious subjects, I asked him if he had seen a narrative in the papers respecting a dove light-ing on the head of a Baptist minister; he said he had not—I told him I had the paper and would read it to him. After I had read the piece, he doubted the truth of it; and while we were arguing on the subject, a Bird came to the window where Mr. Walton sat, and fluttered up & down the sash, then withdrew and returned again. Mr. Walton said he would give it admittance let it be what it would. Accordingly he hoisted the window, and it flew into the hall and lit on the table, at which I sat by a candle, and appeared en-tirely calm and looked me in the face very wi-thfully. Mr. Walton took up the Bird in his hands; and it was in the possession of the family the next morning when I departed from them. The Bird was between the size and colour of the Dove and the Blue Bird.

The farm on which I live, containing about 250 acres, known by the name of Petersburgh, or Scott's Landing, and formerly the residence of Gov. Scott. It is unnecessary to dwell on the advantages of this situation as no person will feel disposed to purchase without reviewing the place; also all the household and kitchen furni-ture, and farming utensils, together with several valuable mares with colts and geldings, horned cat-tle and hogs, likewise that valuable and well known stud horse Figure who has stood 2 seasons near Shel-by, and 2 in Woodford, he is full sixteen hands high, and equal to any horse in the state, and his colts are allowed to be fully equal to those of the best imported horses.

Patent Hemp & Flax breaking Machine.
THE subscribers have purchased the right for the state of Kentucky of Thomas Colhoon'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 com-mon hand-break. A further account of the machine is deemed un-necessary, as it is presumed that those desirous of purchasing rights, will wish to satisfy themselves by seeing it in operation.

HAVING been called upon to state our opin-ions of a machine for breaking hemp and flax, which we saw in operation on Mr. Maddox Fisher's farm, we hesitate not to declare that we view it as an im-portant acquisition to our state, and therefore rec-ommend 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 40$. 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.
