AS I have discovered a method of drying all kinds of Grain, by means of a kiln, so as to secure it from the weevil, as well as preserve it in its purity for a great length of time, and am pursuing the legal steps for obtaining a patent for the same; do hereby forewarn all persons from making use of said discovery, under the penalty of what the law directs in such cases.
J. J. DUFOUR, First Vineyard, Kentucky.
October 6, 1802.
As the weevil is at present very destructive, and this Kiln or machine, will not be costly, and be a great use, not only to dry any sort of grain, but fruit, or any thing which requires a gentle heat, without fear of spoiling; for the heat of a hot sun will be sufficient, if continued some hours, to dry any grain, fruit or other dryable things. I will grant leave to any person to erect the above mentioned kiln, and give directions for its construction, for a reasonable compensation. Apply at the First Vineyard, 4 miles above the Mouth of Hickman.

WRITING PAPER.
A quantity of Writing Paper for sale at this Office.

HAVING omitted answering an article in Bradford's and Stewart's papers, signed Leon. Claiborne, under the impression that the business, being soon to be canvassed in a court of justice, no candid man would condemn me unheard. This time seems a proper one for an answer, first, because his malignant disposition seems satisfied, from the advertisement being discontinued, and next, because this itinerant gambler (like other birds of prey, ever on the wing) has again arrived in this place, no doubt under a hope, that the approaching races may produce new gudgeons fitted to receive his hook.—A little horse which I have often rode into town, having repeatedly been the subject of much sport and banter from Claiborne, gave rise to a race for ten dollars—the first time any horse owned by me, ever ran for money. The same conduct on his part continued, produced a second race. In this, at his suggestion (the motive now made clear) a mule I own, was to be left with Bradley as pledge for the payment, should I lose, of two horses, value together one hundred dollars. Let us now see what was my conduct, and whether it was not strictly honorable.—My pony having fallen lame on the road soon after starting, occasioned me to remain, when returning, far behind Claiborne, and to stop some time at Pierion's, half way from Frankfort; but instead of waiting in the evening to accompany it home, though as wet with the violence of the rain, as if soaked in a pond, I left it to come home at leisure, and rode up to Bradley's to learn what time Claiborne arrived, to own I had lost, to order Bradley to give up the money staked in his hands, and to make arrangements with Claiborne, for having the horses valued and paid.
I found supper on the table at Bradley's, and waited sometime afterwards, without getting it settled when and where the two horses lost should be valued and paid, as I found Claiborne appeared greatly to enjoy the pleasure of jeering and trifling with me, and in throwing impediments in the way of my settling as I wished to have done. The following morning, Sunday, I again went in, and endeavored to fix some time and place where two horses should be valued by capt. Gardner and Mr. John Barton, and paid to Claiborne. I this day dined at Bradley's, and waited till evening, without being able to get any appointment made for Monday.—On Monday morning I again went in after breakfast, again staid dinner at Bradley's, in the hope, that capt. Gardner, being expected at the great dinner, where Claiborne would see him, a time and place for looking out and valuing two of my horses, might be fixed on; and I this day before Bradley, offered to shew all my horses to capt. Gardner, and let him value two without J. Barton, provided Claiborne would make the appointment with him. I then requested to have my mule home, as I was ready to pay at any time, and found it was standing at 3s a day expence to me, although I had requested it might have hay only; and further I had hired at that time a man who had plowed near fifteen acres of corn with this mule, and finding it worked with less injury to the corn than any of my horses, and some being with foal &c. I wanted it to finish the remainder. This Claiborne refused with his usual insolence and gaming slang, saying if I did not parade him two such horses as he liked, that he should take Jenny, the mule, into Virginia, for Jack to ride, in a day or two, for that she suited him to a tittle; he liked her much better than horses, &c. Altho' he saw capt. Gardner at the anniversary dinner, adjoining my plantation, where I had a dozen or fifteen horses ready for him to choose out of, yet no appointment could be had for this day or Tuesday.—Wanting my mule to plow, being tired with Claiborne's trifling and insolence, and determined to pay him two horses, if possible, in some way. I went in, after an early breakfast, on Wednesday morning, and offered him geldings, mares in foal, or mares with young foals, if he would say which he would agree to take, and capt. Gardner could be found to value, or if himself would ride out with me to Oliver Keen's lot, where a horse of mine was in the plough, I would give up him, and ride out to my place, adjoining town, and give him another, together worth more than the sum agreed on, and without any valuation but our own; or if I could fully ascertain what sort of horses he would take, I would bring two in of the value. Finding that all these offers only produced fresh jeers and insults, as, O, never mind Doctor, be happy about it, don't vex yourself, Jenny suits me exactly, and she will carry Jack so nicely, &c. &c. and we shall let off with our two mules on Friday morning, when he would again wave the conversation, and go up stairs or out
of doors. Evening coming on, he said he had been capt. Gardner in town during the day. I asked him if he had spoke to him on our business, when he said no, Jenny would suit him so well, &c. &c. Now, finding that to mortify me and take my mule away without my knowing when, were his sole object and view, and that it was pretty clear any horses I might bring in would be rejected with disdain and insult, I became pretty much vexed, and told him, in the presence of many persons in Bradley's, that from the time of losing the race, I had not only shewn willingness , but great anxiety to pay up the two horses, and had taken ten times the pains to do it, incumbent on me, or that I could have expected from him, had I won; and that I was then and should remain desirous to have the horses picked out, valued and delivered, whenever capt. Gardner would favor me with a call, or a time should be fixed on for my bringing two in, but that I would no longer submit to be jeered, trifled with and insulted, as I had done too long—that I would waste no more time, nor incur any further expence in running after him, on this silly business, (I paid a bill to Bradley of 21s. expences on this head) but would immediately take home my mule, as it had not been lost, nor should he take it to Virginia; but that he might have two horses at any time when he would shew a proper and accomodating disposition to receive them. I then loosed my horse from the rail, rode round, in presence of Cotton, the bar-keeper, and turned my mule out of the stable, where it had stood from Saturday, at 3s a day, as a pledge for my being willing to do what I had been endeavoring at all that time.—The mule run home.
Having myself arrived at home, and seeing a mare led to my horse Forrester, Bradley rode into my yard. He asked me if I would take the mule back to his stable, for that Claiborne owed him a hundred dollars, and would stop it if the mule was not brought back. I told Bradley that he very well knew my motive for taking away the mule, was to prevent its being rode to Virginia and sold, and in order to bring Claiborne to a more decent conduct, that I might get the horses paid; and that if he would himself call with Claiborne in the morning or any other time, I would give him two horses of the full value I owed. He muttered something about serious consequences, and rode away.
The same night about twelve o'clock, Ocheltree, the constable—Claiborne—Cotton, Bradley's bar-keeper, and Jeremiah Murphy, came to my house; when I was taken out of bed, conducted to Bradley's, locked in a room all night, threatened with the penitentiary house, &c. and next day tried in the court house as a felon, for taking my own mule.—When acquitted, which followed of course, this wretch, Claiborne, whose daily employ is almost every species of gaming, had the impudence to ask Mr. Bradford, the magistrate, whether there was not a penalty on those who made wagers.—Now, and not before, I told the magistrate, that from Saturday till Wednesday, I had considered, and till paid, always should have considered this wager as a debt of honor; but that all honor ended with a fellow who would dare to take me out of bed at midnight and imprison me as a felon, when he knew where I could be found any hour of the day; and that for taking away my own mule, openly, and in the face of day, to prevent his taking it away and selling it without my consent—and that I should now, not only pay him no more, but arrest him for ninety-five dollars he had already got, and also try before a court and jury, whether, if a magistrate had no power to refuse a warrant to take me out of bed at midnight, the man who should on oath require it to be done, especially such a creature as Claiborne, would be suffered to do such an act with impunity.
It may be asked, why Claiborne should wish to take away my mule instead of two horses, and to harass and mortify me? mules that are tractable are known to be very valuable in the settlement, and no one who ever saw us together can doubt of that disposition existing in him. We had a good deal of wrangling on account of my refusing to answer various impertinent questions about my horse Forrester, as to the number of mares put to him from time to time, &c. &c. and he had talked much of whipping me more than once. I told him a piece of cord for pantaloon, which he could not find money to pay for as agreed; and having lost the false when I had several offers, he had two dollars to pay for my loss on taking it again; so that he embraced with avidity the power he had of mortifying and insulting me, by wantonly keeping my mule on expences, avoiding all settlement, and since endeavoring to calumniate me in the public news-papers to mislead those
who do not read and compare before they judge.
"Who steals my purse, steals trash; 'tis something, nothing; 'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands: But he that filches from me my good name, Robs me of that which not enriches him, And makes me poor indeed."
I trust I have now said enough to convince all candid men who read and reason, that whatever folly may attach to me for making a race for money with an itinerant gambler, (being however the first time any horse of mine ever run for money; nor did I ever lose two dollars in my life till in Kentucky, at one time, at any species of gaming, unless a share of a lottery ticket can be so called,) yet that no symptom of avoiding payment when I lost can attach to me. Does a man who wishes to avoid another, run after him daily, nay almost for days together? If not to settle with, and pay him two horses, (95 dollars cash had already been paid) for what in the name of common sense did I spend most of the time from Saturday 3d July, till the Wednesday evening following? more time I presume Bradley and his bar-keeper will swear (swear something they must) than I had altogether spent in town from the time the stud season begun, on the 1st day of March. There are in Kentucky very many persons who have life, character and property to protect, to whom the present trials which stand for Nov. court, may be thought of moment; for who does not know that a man whose occupation is high betting at horse racing, cards, dice, EO and Faro tables, &c. &c. and whose prey is the ignorant and unwary, is a nuisance in society not to be tolerated; and that houses where such scenes are carried on, cannot be said to hold their licenses for the public advantage as is intended by the legislature.
Those who saw the farce acted at Bradley's, while Claiborne was suffered to strut about the house, stretch upon the sopha, ride out on horseback, with a trifling knife open in his hand &c. and myself insulted and threatened if I assisted in the taking him, will cease to wonder when they know that Bradley found one old mare at least, which formed a part of Claiborne's stake, and probably depended for his reckoning on my payment, or that of some other pigeon, to be plucked before Claiborne left his house, as he said that 100 dollars was then owing to him, and Claiborne declared before, that he had not twelve dollars to pay me for the breeches stuff he had bought.
What rank I held as a professional man in England, where I practiced in every branch of my profession, for about seventeen years, may be seen in the title page of a book I there published, copies of which were given to the Lexington College Library , and to Drs. Ridgely and Brown, the former of course can be perused by the public, and two or three copies are still in my hands, which may be had for a dollar each. Further, my property, before I buried about four thousand guineas in Kentucky lands, (all of which I wish to sell low for Cash, Negroes, Horses, Cattle, Sheep, Hogs, or other property,) was, with my professional fees, always sufficient to support my family with a rank and respectability equal to my wishes; and if I have hitherto declined practice in Kentucky, and avoided visiting and connecting myself as a respectable family man; more than some may have thought proper, & which, placed under other circumstances, would have fully accorded with my inclinations, and added greatly to my own happiness, as well as the interest and comfort of my children, it has been from domestic causes , generally unknown to the world, but which unhappily for me, are too likely long to operate equally to my disadvantage and that of my young family.
My conduct in this affair is now before the public, and I ask no respectable man for his countenance or esteem, who from his own knowledge, and that criterion I expect of all, has had reason to believe that I am capable of acting otherwise than as a LIBERAL, a PUNCTUAL, and an HONEST MAN.
THOS. CHAMPNEY. Lexington, October 15th 1802.
*** My Stud Horse BRUTUS , I would sell for Cash, or a Negro Boy and take or give the difference—or I would let him out now to any respectable man, who has a good stand, for the ensuing season.
I have several good Waggon and Road Horses, which I would also sell low, being scarce of pasture. The same reason would induce me to sell, with her sucking colt fit to wean, for only one hundred and twenty dollars cash down, the well known Brood Mare, owned by the late Col. M'Creary—the stock from which mare, since in Kentucky, has brought him about £500. She was put this season to Republican, and is no doubt with foal—
For her sucking colt I have refused sixty dollars.
My English Horse FORRESTER , is intended to remain at his present stand, where I now live, adjoining town, the ensuing season—The terms will be made public in due time. Those few who have not yet settled for the last season, will please to remember that they have not acted as was expected, and have incurred an increased charge by such neglect. T. C.

VIENNA, July 24.
Last Wednesday intelligence was received here, by a messenger from Semlin, that new tumults had arisen in Constantinople, which were of so serious a nature that the Grand Seignor was in consequence compelled to seek his safety in flight. Report says, he is gone to his Asiatic territory. However, it is probable the latter part of this intelligence is a conclusion drawn from the first part of it; although something of the sort may be shortly expected as the Grand Seignor certainly stands on ticklish ground; and the machinations against him, at present carrying on, are only known by their effects.

LONDON, August 3.
Accounts were received in town on Monday from Bourdeaux, of the Bellona privateer of that port, having captured, in the Indian seas, the Poacher East Indiaman, the cargo of which is valued at 200,000l. The Bellona slipped away from Bourdeaux about the time the Preliminaries of Peace were signed.
August 7.
We continue to think, that unless the Emperor of Russia interferes, or has interfered, there will be a great danger of a coalition between France and Prussia against the Germanic Empire and the House of Austria. There are many rumours afloat on that subject, to which we do not give entire credit, but it is evident that France and Austria eye each other with suspicion, if not hostility; while the King of Prussia makes his court to the Consul, and is determined to be the rival of the present Emperor.—Perhaps they consider that ancient and honorable family an exhausted Dynasty .
August 8.
We yesterday received several sets of French Journals to the 5th inst. From these it appears, that the important question, relative to the prolongation of the authority of the First Consul, has been at length brought to a decision. The returns from the different departments were, on the 29th ult. referred to the conservative senate; and that assembly, on the report of a select committee, stating that, out or 3,577,259 citizens who had registered their names, 3,563,185 had voted in the affirmative, passed a decree containing the following dispositions:—
I. The French people nominates, and the senate proclaims, Napoleon Bonaparte, First Consul for life.
II. A statue of peace, holding in one hand the laurel of victory, and in the other the decree of the senate, shall attest to posterity the gratitude of the nation.
III. The senate shall carry to the consul the expression of the confidence, love, and admiration, of the French people.
In pursuance of the latter resolution, the senate waited upon Bonaparte on the 4th, at the moment when he was engaged in giving audience to the foreign ambassadors; and citizen Barthelemy, lately appointed president of the senate, addressed him in these terms:— Citizen First Consul.
The French people, as a mark of gratitude for the immense services you have rendered them, with that the first magistracy of the state should remain fixed in your person. In thus appropriating to themselves your entire life, they only repeat the opinion of the senate, as recorded in its senatus consultum of the 8th May. The nation, by this solemn act of gratitude, assign you the task of consolidating our institutions. A new career opens to the First Consul! After prodigies of valor and military talents he has terminated the war, and every where obtained the most honorable conditions of peace. Under his auspices, Frenchmen have assumed the attitude and character of real greatnes. He is the pacificator of nations, and the restorer of France; his name alone is a tower of strength. Already has an administration of less than 3 years almost effaced the remembrance of that epoch of anarchy and calamities, which seemed to have dried up the sources of public prosperity. But there still remains evils to be remedied, and anxieties to be dissipated. The French after having astonished the world by warlike exploits, expect from you, Citizen Consul, all the benefits of the peace you have procured them. If there yet existed any seeds of discord, the proclamation of the perpetual consulate of Bonaparte would cause them to disappear. Every thing is at present rallied around him. His powerful genius can maintain and preserve

very thing. He lives only for the prosperity and the happiness of Frenchmen. He will never impart to them but the impulse of glory and the feeling of national grandeur. What nation, in truth, is more deserving of happiness; and of what more enlightened and more sensible people could the esteem and attachment be wished for. The conservative senate will participate in all the generous intentions of government. It will second by every means in its power, those ameliorations whose object is to prevent the return of the calamities which have so long afflicted us, and to extend and consolidate the blessings which you have brought back to us. It is a duty incumbent upon it, thus to concur in the accomplishment of the wishes of the people who have given to striking a proof of their zeal and discernment. The senatus consultum which the senate in a body comes to present to you, Citizen Consul, contains the expressions of their particular gratitude. The organ of the sovereign will, they have thought proper, for the more complete fulfilment of the intentions of the French people, to invoke the arts to perpetuate the recollection of this memorable event.
The president having then read the decree of the senate, Bonaparte made the following reply:
Senators,
The life of a citizen belongs to his country. The French people wish that the whole of mine should be consecrated to them. I obey their will. In giving me a new and permanent pledge of their confidence, they impose upon me the duty of resting the system of their laws upon provident institutions. By my efforts, by your assistance, citizens senators, and that of all the authorities, by the confidence and will of this immense people, liberty, equality, and the prosperity of France, will be secure from the caprice of fortune, and the uncertainty of futurity. The best of people will be the happiest, as they most deserve to be, and their happiness will contribute to that of all Europe. Satisfied with having been called by the order of Him from whom all things emanate, to restore upon earth, justice, order, and equality, I shall hear the knell of my last hour without regret—and without any inquietude as to the opinion of future generations. Senators, receive my thanks for so solemn a proceeding. The senate has expressed its desire for what the French people have willed and thus more intimately connected itself with every thing which remains to be done for the happiness of the country. It is extremely grateful to me to find an assurance of the speech of so distinguished a president.
August 10.
Yesterday we received the Paris Journals to the 6th inst. Their contents are of some importance, inasmuch as they afford an ample and official information of the intelligence of our valuable correspondent, communicated so far back as the ninth of March last. An entire revision of the constitution has taken place; and the conservative senate, in the shape of an organic Senatus Consultum , has made a variety of alterations in it, all tending to strengthen the authority of the executive government, by giving fresh powers to the consular chief, or rather by pronouncing a civil sanction upon the military assumptions that have hitherto distinguished the reign of Buonaparte. To him and to his obedient senate, every thing of moment in the legislative and executive department is either actually or virtually given up, with scarcely the shadow of responsibility, or any counteracting or influence on the part of the constituted authorities. Bonaparte is empowered to name his successor: if the person he first selects be rejected by the senate, he is to present a second person; and if the senate object a second time, he then presents a third person, who must of necessity be accepted: a proceeding which it is not to be supposed will be had recourse to by the senate, as the nomination in the first instance will not fail to amount to an actual appointment. The first consul may also deposit in the government archives, a will, containing his wish with respect to his successor, in case he should not choose to name him publicly during his own life time; but it is not obligatory upon the senate to accept the person so named in the will: if he be not accepted, the second and third consuls are to nominate two candidates; and the appointment must be completed in twenty four hours after the first consul's death. How far such is likely to prove efficacious may, perhaps, be the subject of our future discussion; at present, we shall content ourselves with observing, that those of some of the most powerful Potentates have, with very little difficulty, been violated, ere their bodies have been well consigned to the earth. The vacancies in the subordinate consulships are to be filled up by the chief consul, who has the power of nominating his coadjutors for life. He is also to have the power of granting pardons, with the advice of the privy council; an accession of authority certainly very great; but of which, as one of the amiable prerogatives of the British crown, we highly and cordially approve—There are to be assemblies of cantons, and electoral Colleges of dis-
tricts and departments, which are to appoint the members of the legislative body. The tribunate is to be reduced to fifty members; but this reduction is not to take place for three years from the present date. In the mean time the members going out are not to be replaced. The senate is to be vested with very great powers over the civil tribunals. Some few allusions are made to trial by juries, but the higher constituted authorities will be allowed to suspend their operations occasionally. The system of representation undergoes a complete change; those will possess the most influence who pay the greater portion of taxes, the principle of which, in future is to be on income. On the whole, though we do not view these regulations as calculated to enlarge the present circumscribed bounds of Gallic liberty, under many considerations perhaps wisely placed, we cannot altogether condemn them, as inexpedient and necessary. Inasmuch as they are calculated to stem effectually the torrent of anarchy, they cannot be displeasing to the well disposed part of mankind; and as affording an additional security for the duration of tranquility, in the increased power and stability of the government, the event, though not gratifying to political philosophy, must be approved by every friend to good order, by every advocate to humanity, and all whose principle it is to improve the advantages of peace. Much undoubtedly is due to Bonaparte, for the eminent services he has rendered to France; and devoting, as he now does, his sole attention to the happiness of the people whom he governs. Europe can have no cause to deplore any acquisition of power, that promises to be exercised by its possessor for the general good.

Italy.
NAPLES, July 19.
We learn by a vessel from Algiers, that a Spanish squadron, consisting of three ships of the line and two frigates, appeared before that city on the 16th of June, and that the Commandant of the squadron having learned the pretensions which that regency formed in regard to Spain, declared war against it: but after three days negotiations, every thing was terminated in an amicable manner, & the other Spanish vessels proceeded to Tunis, to repeat, in all probability, the same operation.
THE AUTHOR of the KENTUCKY ENGLISH GRAMMAR, presents his most grateful acknowledgements to his friends and the public in general, for the notice which they have been pleased to take of his humble attempt to facilitate the grammatical instruction of youth, and hopes for a continuance of their patronage to a second edition, which he has just published with considerable improvements, in conformity to the original plan.
Those who wish to procure copies of the new edition, may be supplied at this Office, at Mr. Leavy's, and Mr. Jordan's stores in Lexington.

The MINUTES of the NORTH DISTRICT ASSOCIATION of BAPTISTS, are ready for delivery at this office.
At two o'clock on Sunday, the Mercury in the Thermometer, stood, in the shade, at 76 and at the same time yesterday at 62.
Accounts from Paris as late as August 21, give an account of the suppression of the circulation of all English News-Papers in France, by an arrest of the French government.
Capt. Lovett, who arrived at Beverly, on Saturday evening last, has very politely informed us, that he left Gibraltar on the 7th of August, at which time there were, the frigates Adams and Chesapeake, and the Schooner Enterprise:—That the American Consul has returned to Morocco—and that the frigates were waiting to hear from him, to know if the Moors were determined to declare war against the United States. The officers of the American frigates informed capt. Lovett that there were no vessels fitting out at Morocco. [Salem Reg.]
With respect to the right of Bonaparte's naming his successor, the debates in the French Council of state, ran very high, when he prit la parole , and said, with great mildness & solemnity—"I bow to the will of the Council; but the privilege of nominating a successor, is one of those which most tends to the tranquility of the state, by preventing factions. All I should desire, in such case, is, the not being compelled to publish my choice—every one would then be disposed to promote public welfare, as the factions could make no party. There is not one amongst you, Citizen Councillors, who might not with propriety, suppose yourself my choice, and of course that in aiming at the general prosperity, you might ultimately enjoy personally, every thing that will be great and glorious.—These were nearly his words.
EMIGRATIONS TO AMERICA.
From a London paper of the 1st of August.
Emigrations to the Western Continent from the northern parts of Ireland and from the Highlands of Scotland, are continued to an extent so alarming as to call for the immediate consideration of the government.
Upwards of 1,800 persons had failed from Londonderry, Belfast, &c. for America, since the beginning of June, and full greater numbers are preparing to follow as soon as they can provide means for their transportation.
A Scotch Journal, which we received yesterday, contains the following article: "On Saturday three vessels failed from Port William with emigrants for America. It is lamentable to think there are no less than twelve ships engaged for the West-Indies, which must carry off fourteen or fifteen hundred of those deluded wretches from their native country. Before they had been three hours at sea, some of the poor creatures, on Saturday, came and asked one of the sailors if the land they saw was America, which shews what an idea they have of their voyage."
FROM THE TRENTON TRUE AMERICAN.
From Governor BLOOMFIELD to Col. BURR.
TRENTON, September 17, 1802.
"DEAR SIR:—It cannot have escaped your knowledge, that two pamphlets, entitled "The Narrative" and "The View" published in your city, have engaged much of the public attention."
"What regards the suppression of Wood's "History of the administration of John Adams" has become of no moment, since the book itself has been published; for it seems to be universally agreed that the book, so far as any effect could be produced by it, was calculated to do more injury than benefit to the republican cause—But bold the allegations, which purport that you combined with the federal party to defeat the election of Mr. Jefferson, occasion some solicitude among those to whom you are unknown."
"Those, indeed, who have witnessed your various and uniform exertions in the cause of liberty, and the firmness and independence of your conduct on every occasion, are not to be shaken in their confidence or esteem by anonymous calumnies; but they can only express their own opinions, and repeat the declarations which they are informed you have made.—This leaves room for our enemies to cavil.—If some one were authorised from you to make those declarations, it would I think remove the apprehensions which are entertained by some honest men, warm in the cause of freedom, jealous of their rights, and watchful of those who have the honor of being their servants."
"Our intimacy in our youth, and in the army, is generally known in this state—My address to the people of Burlington in September 1800, wherein I stated your services in the field and in the cabinet, and recommended you for vice-president, is not forgotten; and these circumstances have occasioned more enquiries of me respecting the calumnies against you, than would otherwise have been made."
"I have no other apology to offer for this intrusion than to assure you that it proceeds from motives founded in patriotism, and in that cordial friendship, which has ever subsisted between us."
"I avail myself of this opportunity to renew the assurances of my respect and esteem; and that I am,
Most truly, your friend.
JOSEPH BLOOMFIELD.
The hon. Aaron Burr, Vice-President of the U. S. }
THE VICE-PRESIDENT'S ANSWER.
NEW-YORK, 21 September, 1802.
"DEAR SIR:—You are at liberty to declare from me, that all those charges and insinuations, which aver or intimate that I advised or countenanced the opposition made to Mr. Jefferson, pending the late election or balloting for president; that I proposed or agreed to any terms with the federal party, or with any individual of either party; that I assented to be held up in opposition to him, or attempted to withdraw from him the vote or support of any man whether in or out of Congress; that all such assertions and intimations are false and groundless."
"I have not thought that calumny unsupported by proof or the authority of a name, could to far receive attention from the public as to require an answer or even a denial: yet if you shall imagine that any declaration from me can be necessary to remove doubts from the mind of one honest man, you may consider this letter as submitted to your discretion to publish if you shall think proper."
"Accept, I pray you, my thanks for your friendly solicitude, and assurances of the high respect and consideration with which I am
Your obed't serv't.

FRANKFORT, October 13.
Extract of a letter to the Editor, dated St. Vincennes, September 17, 1802.
"I have now to communicate the pleasing result of our council with the Indians. Every object for which it was held, so far as it relates to us, is completely obtained. They listened with attention and apparent pleasure, to the means proposed for their advancement in civilization. They all promised their firmest support in carrying the measures of the president into effect. To governor Harrison's perseverance and unremitting attention, its successful issue is justly to be ascribed."
"The Indians have relinquished to the United States a beautiful, fertile country, twenty-four leagues square. It extends north and south, from Point Coupee to the mouth of White river, and from a line drawn parallel to the general course of the Wabash, twelve miles to the west of this town, across towards the Ohio. It is expected it will extend to, or near the Illinois grant. They have also granted the privilege of working the great Salt Spring, on the Saline river, near the Ohio, with four miles square of land, including the spring, which will afford a plentiful supply of fuel for the salt works that will there be erected. It is unquestionably the best salt spring that is possessed by the western country. Arrangements will be shortly made by government for the disposal of this tract of country; and we may justly felicitate ourselves with the pleasing hope, that at no distant period, our wildernesses that are now traversed only by savages and wild beasts, will give way to wealthy populous settlements."
NEW-YORK, October 2.
A letter is said to be received from Mr. Gore in London, by the Minerva, arrived at Boston on the 26th ult. informing that Mr. King has resigned his situation as Ambassador at the Court of St. James's; that he was to set off in a few days for the continent and he is to be expected here in the spring. Mr. Murray of this city came passenger in the above ship from a three years tour through Europe.
We are informed by captain Chappell, from Cape Francois, that a few days before he failed, the negroes in the mountains had revolted against the French troops; several skirmishes had ensued, and the latter were driven within four miles of the city. General Charles Belair, a negro general, in the service of the French had joined the revolters. The black general who commanded at Port de Paix had followed his example. The citizens had evacuated most of the small ports, and fled to the Cape for safety. In the northern parts of the mountains, massacres and burnings were frequent; and Christophe and Dessalines were marching against the rebels with a considerable force.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
ORIGINAL.
THE HAPLESS LOVER.
A Lyric Poem.
ADOWN the dell, in summer eve, Young Delmon stray'd alone, Where woodbines did a covert weave, To shield him from the sun.
Up was the breeze; the soothimg shade, The fragrance of the grove; The landscape gay, in green array'd, Had mark'd the court of love.
The Cyprian mansion rose to view, As Delmon lay reclind; The soft'ning scenes his thoughts renew, As thus he told his mind:—
"Ah me! all nature smiles around, "But smiles for me in vain; "These sprightly scenes where joys abound "Serve but to give me pain.
"The turtle dove on yonder tree, "That tells her mournful tale, "Had once its soothimg charms for me, "Whilst rambling through the dale.
"Methought 'twas Delia's dulcet voice, "That call'd me to return, "That bid my heart once more rejoice, "Nor any longer moun.
"Sad emblem now, of slighted love; "The strain my heart appals! "Cease little tenant of the grove; "No longer Delia calls.—
"As oft the moon on yonder hill, "Has pour'd her nightly beam; "I've sought, beside the creeping rill, "To lengthen out the theme.
"The cooling breeze that came at eve; "To fan my Sylvan bed, "Has lull'd the mournful song I'd weave, And told what tears were shed.
"How oft I've said that Delmon's heart "Belong'd to one alone!— "But need he now his woes impart? "These happy days are gone.
"O! lead me to some lonely grove; "Where weeping willows grow, "There let me pour my soul in love, "And think on all my woe.
"When spring returns, deck'd out in green, "And birds begin to sing, "I'll stray amid the sprightly scene, "And there my off'rings bring.
"To thee, my Delia, will I tell, "While breezes catch the sound, "How to the world I bade farewell, "When slighted love I found.
"I'll tell how oft the shades among, "When far from thee away, "I've stray'd to tune my ev'ning song, "And vow'd thee fair as day;
"And dwelt with rapture on thy eyes, "That stole my heart from me, "And claim'd thee oft, my youthful prize, "Beneath the willow tree.
"Yes, once my Delia, thou wert kind, "When first I told my love; "The sacred contract once was sign'd "And register'd above.
"Yes, thou wert kind; the holy shrine "Was lighted for thy swain, "And when, alas! I deem'd thee mine, "The raptur'd thought prov'd vain.
"The happy youth who thee adores; "Must surely now be blest, "Whilst Delmon's heart its sorrow pours; "And asks eternal rest.
"Grant this, ye Gods! is all I crave"— The hapless lover sung; That day he sunk within the grave, And flow the death-bell rung.
ANECDOTE.
One evening, while the count d'Artois and the duke de Chartres, were playing very deep with general Smith, at Paris, a petition was brought up from the widow of a French officer, stating her various misfortunes, and praying their relief; a plate was handed round, and each put in one, two or three louis-d'ors a piece: but when it was held to general Smith, who was just going to throw for a stake of five hundred louis-d'ors, he said, "stop a moment if you please sir—here goes for the widow!" He threw, was successful, and instantly, swept the whole into the plate, and sent it down to her. The above anecdote is a fact, and therefore deserves to be recorded in honor to the benevolent gamester.
