The Kentucky Hotel. THE Subscriber has leased of Mr. Henry Clay, for a term of years, that valuable stand for a Tavern, in the town of Lexington, formerly known by the name of Travellers' Hall, where he has opened a Hotel under the above title.

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 and do spin sufficient warp and filling for fifty yards of cotton bailing, 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 cost than a proportionable 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 clothings for their slaves. 6th. In his system the tow of both the hemp and flax is easily spun into suitable filling for cotton bailing, (although not so speedily 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 manufacturing. 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.
NOTICE. It is hoped that such editors of newspapers throughout the United States as are disposed to promote domestic manufactures, will give the above a few insertions in their respective papers. N. Foster.

A FRESH SUPPLY OF LEE AND SON'S PATENT & FAMILY MEDICINES, RECEIVED AND FOR SALE BY SCOTT, TROTTER & CO. LEXINGTON.
Lee's Worm-Destroying Lozenges. This medicine is superior to any ever offered to the public, being innocent and mild, certain and efficacious in its operations. Should no worms exist in the body, it will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. For the prevention and cure of bilious and malignant fevers, is recommended.
Lee's Anti-Bilious Pills, Prepared by Richard Lee & Son, Baltimore. Persons willing to purchase this valuable medicine, are requested to be particular in enquiring for LEE'S anti-bilious pills, put up in wooden boxes, having on the outside wrapper, the signature of Richard Lee and Son—this is necessary, as there are pills of the same name. The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite—produce a fresh perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequence—a dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—sickness at the stomach, and severe headache—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 Consumption. To parents who may have Children afflicted with the Whooping-Cough—This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time, entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
Lee's Genuine Essence and Extract of Mustard. 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. &c.
Lee's Grand Restorative proves by long experience to be unequalled in the cure of Nervous Disorders, Consumption, Lowness 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 Intermitent Fever.
Persian Lotion, celebrated for the cure of Ringworms, Tetter, and all Eruptions of the Skin, rendering it soft and smooth.

The mildness of the Vegetable Specific is equal to its surprising efficacy; its operation is so gentle that it is given to Venereal patients in a state of pregnancy, with the utmost safety. With the Medicine is given a Bill of Directions. 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.
Broke out of pasture in Woodford county, a brown horse, 3 years old and about 14 hands high, a little white in his forehead, mane and tail black, with a black mark along the back bone, he is troublesome to mares; whoever will bring him to me in Lexington, shall be paid for his trouble and charges.

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 he was taken by Harrodsburg; 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 Spring. 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 to 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.

MR. CLARK'S PAMPHLET.
The pledge given to the public by the honorable D. Clarke, during the last winter session of Congress, has now been redeemed, by the publication of a most interesting, forcible, and convincing appeal to their judgment. The volume before us is of the large quarto size, and contains an immense body of well-authenticated testimony, accompanied by such remarks as were conceived necessary to the full elucidation of the points at issue. When the magnitude of the subject is considered; when it is recollected that charges of the most serious nature were to be established against an officer possessing the confidence and enjoying the patronage and protection of the executive; that to sustain these charges, a laborious research was necessary—that the road to this research was beset by all the arts and influence of the wily culprit—when all these circumstances are remembered, it is rather astonishing that Mr. Clark has been able to collect and digest, into so systematic a manner and so short a period, such a mass of concurring evidence. The object of the volume is of a two-fold nature: first to fix, beyond a doubt, the criminality of general Wilkinson, both as to his Spanish connection, and as to his understanding with Col. Burr; and secondly, to exculpate the writer from the base accusations of the general. In both of these Mr. Clark has succeeded to the perfect satisfaction of every friend of truth and virtue. He has even done more. He has performed the loathsome task with a magnanimity of temper, a lucidness of reasoning, and an animation of style which reflect equal credit on his talents as a writer, and his feelings as an honorable man.
He thus expresses the circumstances which compelled the circumstances which compelled him to appear before the public. Whatever picture is derived from the punishment of crimes, it is always painful to become the instrument of inflicting it. It was therefore with regret that I found myself called on to lay before the house of Representatives the information I possessed of general Wilkinson's treachery and corruption.
This regret heightened by the idea that a part at least of my information had been acquired from the voluntary confession of the party accused, and a breach of confidence was so repugnant to my feelings, that although the confidence was unought, yet rather pressed upon me to prevent, I believe a disclosure of facts I before knew, yet a strong sense of duty alone could have induced me to obey the call of the house. I complied with it; and my evidence established a direct confession of guilt. Little foresight was necessary to discover that this would expose me to every attack that could be made upon my reputation—it was verified by the event! every crime in the catalogue of human depravity was immediately imputed to me, and the basest and most contemptible arts were used to procure evidence to support them; they were used however, with little success, that although in a moment of warmth I had thought it necessary to promise the public a refutation of the charges, I yet, on a cooler consideration of their absurdity, had nearly determined to treat them with silent contempt. I thought that the motives of my calumniator would be plainly perceived; and that a character, which was founded in a virtuous education, and formed by a habitual attention to its precepts, could not be injured by the unsupported accusation of a wretch weighed down full more by profligacy and crimes than by years, and sinking under a pressure of public abhorrence and contempt. I was moreover convinced that in vindicating myself I should be obliged to undertake the disgusting task of pursuing my accuser through all the mire of speculation and vice in which he had endeavored to conceal his treason and corruption. My aversion to this office would have induced me to remain silent, if I had not reflected that the unaccountable favor granted to general Wilkinson by the executive, might, among the partisans of the president, outweigh the strong proof of his guilt, and that every doubt on that subject must create one of my veracity.
But the important trust which has lately been committed to him, forms a motive infinitely stronger than any personal consideration—knowing, as I do, that he has for years been the pensioner of a foreign power, that his hire was paid for the dismemberment and ruin of his country—and believing, as I firmly believe, that the same wages are yet paid him for the same iniquity. I cannot with indifference behold him placed in that very situation in which he can with the greatest convenience complete his treasonable purposes. I owe it to my country to call their attention to the amazing blindness, the wilful incredulity, or the co-operation in guilt, that has thus invested a detected traitor with the means of completing his treason.
He then, conforming to the best approved forms of evidence, specifically states the charge which he means to establish, viz. 1st. That General Wilkinson, from the year 1794 to 1803, certainly was, and probably is yet a pensioner of the Spanish government.
2d. That his object was a treasonable attempt to sever the union of these states. 3d. That he knew, favoured and advised the enterprise of colonel Burr, and never resolved to be treacherous to his accomplice, until he could no longer with safety be so to his country. Upon each of these specific heads of accusation, the writer goes into a very luminous exposition of facts and circumstances, many of them within the sphere of his own observation and knowledge; the others substantiated by witness whose credibility cannot be impeached. The documents are contained in an Appendix, and are referred to in the body of the work, in the regular succession of the enquiry. We regret that the subjects are so inseparable, and treated in such a style of continuity, as not to admit, without occasioning an improper break, of any particular extract. We cannot, however, withhold one extract; and that relates to the unfortunate General's understanding with Col. Burr. It is a pretty good specimen of the writer's style, and manner of treating his subject.
I come now to perform that part of my promise, which relates to gen Wilkinson's connection with Burr. Enough has already appeared before the public to convince every one, who will take the trouble of reflecting, that if the plan did not originate with Wilkinson, he was at least one of the chief conspirators. This plain palpable evidence has been looked on with an indifference that has astonished me. That he betrayed his associates is but an equivocal merit, when we recollect the period at which his disloyalty was made; and the forlorn situation of Burr's affairs will show us that it was the impracticability not the wickedness of the scheme, that induced Wilkinson to abandon it. At any rate, though his disloyalty might excuse him from punishment, it ought scarcely to have entitled him to confidence. The King's evidence, by harging his accomplice sometimes flips his own neck out of the halter, but I never yet heard that it gave him a claim to any office of profit or trust. Nor would it, I think, be deemed wise to put the city watch under the command of a robber, because he had quarrelled and impeached the rest of the gang. A little attention to the subject will show this to be literally the predicament of the Commander in Chief of the American army.
We have seen, from a question put by general W. to Mr. Graham, that he thinks my being in New-Orleans at the time Mr. Burr made a visit of ten days there is a cause of suspicion. What then shall we say to the closest intimacy for a series of years to the warmest professions of confidence, and to the highest degree of friendship, if indeed such a sentiment can exist with such men? What shall we say to a confidential correspondence kept up in cypher? To visits paid at the distance of many thousand miles, and conferences procured by traveling a pathless wilderness? What shall we say to these? that they prove guilt? No; we will not be so unjust. The intimacy might have existed without a communication of illegal designs, the friendship might have had a purer basis, might itself account for the extraordinary interviews—and the correspondence might have been on innocent subjects. Thus would a candid man reason if these circumstances alone were urged as proofs of the charge. But when others are disclosed, when this intimate friend speaks of the other as his associate in treason—when part of the correspondence is discovered, when it is confessed to be of a treasonable nature, when the party prevaricates as to the subject of the frequent conferences, and denies a knowledge of designs which it can be proved were communicated to him, then these circumstances, which it would have been unjust to urge before, become presumptions of the deepest guilt, presumptions sufficient in themselves to convict, unless destroyed by the fullest exculpation, but which, unhappily for the honor of our nation, are turned, by other incontrovertible evidence, into damning proofs.
The very long and very close intimacy between general Wilkinson and Burr is not only proved, but admitted. We have seen that the former had engaged in a scheme for the separation of the western country from the United States, and I think the evidence I have adduced incontrovertibly proves, that he received the wages of a foreign power for his co-operation in that treason. At an interval of about ten years we find Col. Burr engaged in a plan, of which the same dismemberment forms a principal feature. During the whole of this interval, the closest, the most mysterious intimacy subsists between the leaders of the two attempts. During the period in which it is acknowledged that the latter plan was in agitation, they correspond in cypher, they have secret interviews, and the intercourse is broken off precisely at the period when it was demonstrated that the scheme must fail. Then, and not till then, the general accuses his accomplice, and, by a kind of political pantomime, the wand of executive favour changes the conspirator into a favourite of his country. Are not these circumstances of strong presumption? Do they not require the fullest disclosure of the nature of the correspondence, of the basis of the intimacy, of the subject of the conference? Yet what satisfaction can there be in interesting points has been given? Why, truly, the intimacy was the effect of pure friendship—the correspondence cannot be declared, without a breach of delicacy; (a) and the journeys to Massac and to St. Louis were undertaken by Burr, merely to assure general W. that he had a great project, which the general did not think proper to interrogate him about, though he says he afterwards wrote several letters, to draw from him the nature of his scheme.
The winter of 1804 was the last period of Mr. Burr's term of office as Vice President. Wilkinson passed that Winter with him at Washington, and in the spring the latter was named to the first, and the brother in law of the former to the second, office in the territory of Louisiana; and Burr himself was so proceeded to the western country, furnished with letters of recommendation from gen. Wilkinson. [See gen. W.'s evidence, Pres. Mss. p. 309]
On the 26th March, the 30th April, and the 19th of May, Burr writes three letters to Wilkinson (letters which no doubt throw great light on this subject, but which the general's delicacy forbids him to produce) and having spent six weeks in the western country, on the 8th of June had an interview with general Wilkinson at Fort Massac, on the Ohio. Here is the first period at which I have positive proof of the general's participation in Burr's plans. "Col. Burr," the general says in his evidence, "the next day prosecuted his voyage to N. Orleans." How long he staid I know not; but while there, the general furnished him with a letter of introduction to me, in the following words:
Massac, June 9th, 1805.
MY DEAR SIR, This will be delivered to you by col. Burr, whose worth you know well how to estimate. If the persecutions of a great and honorable man can give title to generous attentions, he has claims to all your civilities and all your services. You cannot oblige me more than by such conduct, and I pledge my life to you that it will not be misapplied. To him I refer you for many things improper to letter, and which he will not say to any other. I shall be at St. Lewis in two weeks, and if you were there we could open a mine, a commercial one at least. Let me hear from you—Farewell, do well and believe always your friend.
JA. WILKINSON.
DANIEL CLARK, Esq. What were these things improper to letter, for which I was referred to col. Burr, and which he would not say to any other, I can only tell from the public exposition that afterwards took place; for colonel Burr, during our short acquaintance, hazarded no proposition of an illegal or improper nature to me. Neither the tenor of my conversation, nor my circumstances, nor standing could invite any confidence of this sort; and col. Burr has never been charged with dullness of perception on such points. The things, however, which it was improper to letter, to me, are pretty plainly expressed in a communication made about the same time to general Adair. The letter is dated Rapids of Ohio, May 28th, 1805, at 11 o'clock, and contains these expressions: "I was to have introduced my friend Burr to you, but in this I failed by accident. He understands your merits and reckons on you. Prepare to meet me and I will tell you all. We must have a peep at the unknown world beyond me." (See Note No. 78.)
That part of the work before us which may be termed exculpatory, we really believe might have been dispensed with. The reputation of the writer for integrity and honor is proof against the malicious shaft even of so hardened a libeller as the Commander in Chief of the American Army. But Mr. Clarke in defending to refute the allegations of the General, has given a strong proof of the high value in which he holds a spotless reputation. Nothing but this consideration could have induced him to stoop to the task; and having stooped to it, he has completely wiped away every shadow of suspicion or doubt; exciting only in the mind of his readers astonishment and detestation at the profligacy of his accuser.
We shall conclude our notice of this highly valuable and interesting work, by observing, that whoever will read it with serious attention, will be struck, irresistibly struck, with conviction. We have met with men, excessively partial to Gen. Wilkinson, and prepossessed against Mr. Clark, who, having gone through the volume before us, have, like Felix before the reasoning of Paul, tremblingly exclaimed, "I am almost persuaded."
"Justice tho' slow is sure: vengeance overtakes the swiftest villain's guilt." (a) See the evidence of general W. as communicated to congress, page 311, where he says: "Between the period of Mr. Burr's leaving St. Louis [August, 1805] and May, 1806, I received six letters from him. I have said that those letters blended matters political with matters personal. I have considered those letters confidential, they were so received, and I will not expose them but in the last extremity, without col. Burr's permission; but if I have that permission, I will do so. Now I have asked it, and I do again ask it. Those letters were of an ambiguous aspect, speaking of some enterprise, without designating any, and were calculated to INCULPATE ME, should they be exposed."
FROM THE NORFOLK HERALD OF AUGUST 30.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
Arrival of Mr. Jackson. Yesterday arrived in Hampton Roads the British frigate L'Africaine, Capt. Rague, of 40 guns, in 45 days from Portsmouth, having on board Francis James Jackson, Esq. her Britannic Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States, his Lady and three children.
By this arrival we have London papers to the 13th July, six days later than those received at Halifax:—We select the most prominent articles, and leave the reader to judge for himself.
LONDON, July 11.
It is probable that the next accounts from Germany will bring intelligence of the greatest importance—we do not mean from the Danube, but from the North of Germany. It is reported that a general insurrection has broken out in Hanover and Hesse, and that the Austrians were advancing from Leipzig on the one hand, and from Wurzburg on the other, for the purpose of giving countenance to the insurgents.
The prisoners taken on board a Dutch prize, sent into Dover by the Tiger revenue cutter, state that it was universally believed at Flushing, when they failed, that another great battle had been fought upon the Danube on the 26th ult. which terminated in the defeat of the French army, with the loss of 50,000 men, 10,000 of whom belonged to Bonaparte's guards. The same persons also state, that there were lying at Flushing three men of war, full of troops, waiting for a favourable opportunity to put to sea, in consequence of which a squadron failed immediately from Deal for that part of the Dutch coast; that it was understood 20,000 Prussians were on their march to co-operate with the Austrian army; and that the greatest possible discontent prevailed in Holland, in consequence of the severity of the conscription law. Reports are also stated to have been circulated at Flushing of the assassination of Ferdinand VII. We know not what degree of credit to attach to those statements.
JULY 13.—Orders were received at the Custom-House this morning for a general embargo to be laid on immediately. The expedition will sail in two or three days.
We received some German papers this morning, which contains a bulletin from the Austrian army relative to the operations in Saxony, on the Raab, and in the Tyrol. It does not announce, however, any new fact of much importance.
Fortune has frowned upon one of the Bonaparte family, and Jerome, who had advanced with his Westphalian and Dutch troops against the Austrians, threatening to drive them in a few days out of Saxony, has been checked in his presumptuous boastings, and been himself beaten. This we infer from an article in the second edition of the Berlin Gazette of 1st July—he would not else have ordered all the baggage in his rear to return to Magdeburgh, nor send in such haste to Cassel for all the disposable troops to be put in motion. A victory over Jerome Bonaparte will be important, inasmuch as it will enable the Austrians to advance about the time when great events were to take place in Hanover and Hesse. The following is the article to which we have alluded:
Extract from a second edition of the Berlin Court Gazette, of the 1st July, 1809, which has been printed later than those forwarded by the Hamburg mail.
"At this moment, the 1st of July, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, we received the following intelligence: Extract of a Letter from Leipzig, June 29. The Westphalian troops which arrived here, marched again on the 27th, in pursuit of the Austrians; the king himself followed on the 28th, and promised to clear Saxony of the Austrians in a few days."
"According to accounts received from Dresden on the 29th, the Austrian army ha-
ving received reinforcements of five thousand cavalry, which made their force 16,000 men, has taken post at Kertzenhausen, in the environs of Meissen, expecting the enemy. "The Austrian army is provided with a train of 50 pieces of cannon, and is commanded by Gen. Kenmeyer. "This moment a courier from the Westphalian army has passed through here, to order all baggage he finds on the road to return to Magdeburgh; he is also to proceed to Cassel to order all the disposable troops to put themselves immediately in motion. "Since yesterday afternoon it is said the roar of cannon has been heard."
YARMOUTH, July 10.—Arrived, the Havoc gun brig, lieutenant Bamber from the Baltic, and brings intelligence that SCHILL is not dead, but only wounded, and is fortifying the island of Rugen, and reports that a revolution has broken out at Peterburgh, headed by the Grand Duke Constantine.
THE EXPEDITION.
Ramsgate, July 11. We are all busy here this day, 20 sail of transports having come in, which in consequence of adverse winds, occasions great confusion amongst them, but being moderate was attended with little or no damage to the vessels. The troops are to embark to-morrow, as far as the present arrivals will admit, when these will be dispatched for the Downs, and others sent in, so that to appearance one of the most formidable expeditions ever witnessed from this country, is now likely to be very soon ready for its destination.
The march of the troops for their various destinations on the Kent coast was completed yesterday. Besides the artillery already stated, 1200 horses of Commissariat Corps of gunner drivers, from Woolwich, Chatham and Canterbury, are ordered to accompany the Expedition; a strong indication this, that the service is continental. They will be embarked in divisions at Northfleet and Ramsgate.—A detachment of the Waggon Train is also to embark this day at Deptford.
Extract of a letter from Capt. Currie, of the Ruby, dated Hayle, July 7, to a Mercantile house in Liverpool.
GENTLEMEN—I left Palermo on the 1st ult. honored with the charge of dispatches from Lord Amherst, British Minister Plenipotentiary, and Gen. Sir John Stewart, whom I left at Mellazzo embarking an army of 23 000 men, British and Sicilians, under his command, destined to attack Naples, and which were intended to sail three days after my departure.
At a late hour this morning we received Hamburg papers to the 6th ult.—Berlin to the 2d, and Frankfort and other papers to the 30th ult.—The following is the intelligence contained in them:
"LEIPZIG, June 26.—Six or seven thousand Saxons and Wurtemberg troops entered our city yesterday. We expect others to-day."
"JUNE 28.—The king of Westphalia entered this place on the 26th, and yesterday marched with his army towards Dresden."
"MERSEBURG, June 25.—Official letters from the king of Westphalia's headquarters arrived this morning, state, that Gen. D. Albynac had orders to pass the Saale yesterday, and attack the Austrians near Lutzen. After several actions the enemy were obliged to retire. The Austrians evacuated Lutzen at midnight."
"PRAGUE, June 24.—We learn by official reports from the Generalfeldmarschall's headquarters that up to the 22d, nothing has occurred between the two main armies. The archduke Charles is daily receiving reinforcements from 2 to 3000 men, so that his force on the line from Greams to Preiburg is estimated at 160,000 troops of the line."
"As the Tyroleans and Vorarlbergers, supported by the imperial troops under the command of Col. Tenner, consider themselves strong enough to make head against the enemy. Gen. Chastellier has been ordered with the Banus of Croatia, Count Guilay, and in conjunction with him has entered Hungary by the mountains."
"BERLIN July 1.—By way of precaution the Duke of Valmy has removed the treasury of Hanau to Mentz."
"The Austrians have extended themselves considerably in the territory of Fulda."
"Accounts received at Frankfort from upper Swabia give reason to tremble for the fate of the unfortunate town of Lindau."
"The facility of meat greatly increases at Vienna."
"BANKS OF ELBE, June 30.—Nothing decisive has as yet arrived from the great theatre of war; but according to all accounts, may be daily expected, as the three bridges over the Danube were finished on the 17th, and great reinforcements had reached the French army, Napoleon had also finished all the preparations and dispositions for a grand and decisive attack on the heroic archduke Charles and his valiant army, who were also prepared to receive him."
"The victory which the French boast to have obtained over the Archduke John, by their Italian army, and the occupation of Raab were mere ephemeral successes as intelligence has been officially received of a much later date at Prague, stating that the Archduke had retaken the position on the Raab, and the French are said to have retreated before him."
"According to private letters from Austria, the duke of Ragusa's army have been defeated and totally dispersed in the confines of Hungary, and no more than 6000 men are said to remain of it. By the same channel it is said, that a combined British and Turkish naval and military force has retaken Trieste and Fiume, and conquered the greatest part of Dalmatia."
"The presence of a British army in Hanover would be a great diversion in favor of Austria, as many of the inhabitants would join, particularly as the conscription for France will soon be introduced."
"From the banks of the Maine, June 27. Letters from Paris state, that serious negotiations for peace are carrying on and that Napoleon will certainly celebrate his birthday (the 15th of August) at Paris."
"LEIPZIG, June 26.—According to certain information from Frankfort, negotiations for a peace between France and Austria are carrying on under the mediation of Russia. We are in hopes that our sovereign will soon return here."
"PRAGUE June 25.—The army of the Archduke Charles, which is now 60,000 strong, and is daily increasing in force, has thrown
up fortifications on different points of the Danube, & adheres to its plan of defensive operations. The archduke sends detachments to Hungary and Germany to alarm the enemy. It also appears to be intended in a short time to have more corps acting under generals Kienmayer, and Tiemeyer in Saxony, Franconia, and Swabia."
GREAT BATTLE OF THE DANUBE.
The Archduke Charles, with characteristic manliness and magnanimity, has published a detailed account of the great battles of the 21st and 22d May, in which he has minutely detailed all the losses he experienced on those days. The details occupy 25 quarto pages. The strength of the Austrian army in this battle is given in this account at 103 battalions, and 146 squadrons or 75,000 men. The Austrian Artillery amounted to 238 pieces. The Archduke Charles took his position at the head of the second column. The relation then proceeds to detail the great strength of the villages of Aspern and Esslingen, and the obstinacy with which the contest was carried to obtain possession of the former, which was of the greatest importance. The contest was carried on in every street in every house, and in every barn. Waggons, ploughs, and harrows, were to be removed out of the way under an incessant fire, in order to enable us to close with the enemy. It was necessary to dislodge the enemy from the church, to clear the high trees, the ground floors and cellars, before we could call ourselves master of the place, and then this was of short duration. Scarcely had we got possession of one street, of one house, when the enemy formed another, and forced us to abandon the former. In this manner the murderous fight continued for several hours on the 21st; the German battalions were supported by the Hungarians, and by the Vienna volunteers. On the 22d of May, more than 400 cannon were in play on both sides, and the oldest soldiers never recollected such a fire. Above all the Austrian Generals were at the head of their troops. The Archduke Charles himself seized the colours of the battalion Van Zach, which began to give way. Most of those around him were wounded; his adjutant general, Count Colloredo had his head grazed by a ball, which at first appeared dangerous, but the pressure of the hand of his humane commander restored him to feeling.
The Austrian Army lament the death of 87 superior officers, and 4190 subalterns and privates, field-marshals the prince de Rohan, Dedeo, Weber and Fröel, with several Generals—Six hundred and sixty three Officers, and 15 651 privates were wounded, of whom Field Marshal Weber, (since dead of his wound) 8 officers, and 820 privates were made prisoners by the enemy.
Patent Hemp & Flax breaking Machine.
THE subscribers have purchased the right for the state of Kentucky of Thomas Coohon's Patent for a machine, for breaking hemp and flax.
One of those machines is now in operation on Maddox Fisher's farm, near this place, and is found admirably to answer the purpose for which it was intended.
A machine with two breaks, is worked by one horse with ease, and requires six hands to attend it. One of the great advantages of this machine is, that it can be attended by women or boys, instead of men, and that a woman or boy can clean double the quantity of hemp or flax, which the most able-bodied man could do in the same time with a common hand-break.
A further account of the machine is deemed unnecessary, as it is presumed that those desirous of purchasing rights, will wish to satisfy themselves by seeing it in operation.
Individual rights at twenty dollars, or rights for whole counties, may be procured by applying to either of the subscribers.
Maddox Fisher, Joseph Borwell, David Sutton, John Fisher, Geo. Laws.
HAVING been called upon to state our opinions 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 important acquisition to our state, and therefore recommend it to the attention of every farmer who cultivates either hemp or flax. The construction of the machine is simple and does not appear likely to get out of order. We suppose that one of those machines having two breaks and moved with ease by one horse, might be built for about 30 or 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.

"All Frogs claim a curse
When they croak from the fen;
And Monkeys a kick
When the imitate men."
AN OLD BALLAD.
O tell me mufe, now we are able,
Mong so much filth and slime to dabble?
Or go through this examination,
And meet with no contamination?
O! yes, methinks I hear thee say,
Arise my Laureat come away;
Although it seems both hard and rare,
Depend upon't we've nought to fear;
Their first was bad, and wore the reft,
I'm sure the Frogs have done their best;
They fcm'd in all to rack their brains,
To hunt up Afs and Raccoon skins
To hang on us—The filly elves,
With them they'd better cloth themselves.
But in this place we shan't rehearse.
Or meddle with their wretched verse—
They gingle bad, and murder fence—
With weak, discordant, dissonance;
With modern poetry, I ween
Their difference is easily seen;
You'll have their contralt just at hand,
By fiddle with a frying pan,—
Into your mind when you require,
I can infuse poetic fire,
Which would you transport on Pegasus,
Up to the heights of old Parnassus,
To ne'er fip from mountain dazy,
But were confined to Free and Easy;
Where we'll find from Dublin Honey,
With his compeer sweet London, Johnny,
And little D. that charming teacher,
They all agreed to dub their preacher;
And many others of the Fry,
Which we shall mention by and by—
Besides if I am not mistaken,
A new recruit they've lately taken,
Who some folks say can wield, a pen,
Almost as well as Bill Duane.
Yes he's the Frog that shot the Robbin,
And fays the Stork shall get a drubbing;
He'll maul your mufe like a retorter,
And try your fame in the Reporter.
Ne'er mind him—he's of the same clan,
That croak their nonsense from their fan,
But police laws they're always dribbling,
And have a mighty itch for scribbling.
Like many trans-atlantic creatures,
Who think they've come to be our teachers;
Where'er they go they raise a furrup,
Saying mind us boys, we're just from Europe,
You must adopt all our opinions,
For these were once our king's dominions,
And on you yet he has his claim,
For Freedom won is but a name,
You fill in part support his cause,
For instance view his Common Laws.
Now you are free-men,—In your courts,
You'd spurn from thence those old reports.
Yes fays the mufe—'tis tuff and pull
Which shall be fift, we or John Bull;
He sends his Frogs in rank and file,
As once fpreaf o'er the land of Nile,
And there like them, as many think,
Some time ago began to fink.
They from their fens or wretched clubs,
Ring filth and spawn, in grumbly dubs;
I aim not to tarnish all its touches.
Sprinkle the fairest robes with blotches.
Your tender youth here fall a prey,
Being tempted from the righteous way—
They croak as much 'bout independence,
As if they were the true descendents
Of those brave men whose blood was shed,
By order of their impious head,
Who ever since the revolution,
Has threatened us with dissolution.
You're Europe's Frogs of every fize,
Here marshall'd to disorganize,
And to mid-ad our tender youth,
By impious laughing at the truth.
All patriots that are without morals,
Are like to many empty barrels,
Yield nought, but wind when they are founded
And make a noise when they are pounded.
Now friends excufe this long digreffion,
I'll leave the Frogs fecure in leffion,
Where they'll cut many an antic caper,
'Twixt now and the next Tuesday's paper.

CAPTAIN RACCOON, alias BABOON.
A SONG.
TUNE—DERRY DOWN.
A captain there is that's called Raccoon,
But in justice and truth is a Baboon—
Its tongue or its paws are never at rest,
To prove its a fool it endeavoured its best.
Derry down, down, down derry down.
This Raccoon a poet willed to be,
A Baboon poet most surely is he—
'Spawny ocean, again' with dread affright,
Such nonsense as this the Baboon did write.
Derry down, &c.
Its pride being great and its modesty small,
It tells of its reading—good lord and what all,
Of its reading it may truly be said,
The knowledge remains outside of its head.
Derry down, &c.
This creature's heart must with venom be full,
Both folly and pride possess its skull;
And as a professor from its writings you see,
It stands convicted of hypocrisy.
Derry down, &c.
Once on a time while hearing the preacher,
It fell down, roar'd aloud, call'd on its maker;
The encreafe of trade the mind it did fill,
The spirit was low, till got drunk at the hill.
Derry down, &c.
When the subject is mean less should be said,
No more with this fool we'll trouble our head,
Let him write, live and howl as he sees fit,
Its spite it may show, but not any wit.
Derry down, &c.
* An animal of the Monkey kind large size.
† "Do as you would be done by" is opposite to the Baboon's miserable attempt at satire on persons with whom he had no manner of connection and could have given him no cause.

EXPERIMENTAL VACCINATION.
Under the impression of anxiety lately experienced from a number of cases of Small-Pox having occurred in the neighbourhood of Boston, the Selectmen of Milton, called a special town meeting on the 8th July, to take into consideration the propriety of a general inoculation of the Cow Pock within their town; a committee was appointed to attend to the business, and on Sunday, 16th July, an address to the inhabitants was read after divine service, by the Rev. Mr. Gile, accompanied with certificates, establishing the safety of the practice, benevolently granted by a number of eminent physicians in Boston, Cambridge and Milton.
They established that full confidence which could have been anticipated from the respectability of the names affixed to them, & the inhabitants cheerfully attended the inoculation which took place on the 20th July, and following days, under the care of Dr. Amos Holbrook, and attended by one Selectman and the Committee; the result of which was as follows:—
337 total number inoculated of all ages, from 2 months to upwards of 70 years, being more than one fourth of the whole population of the town, and with few exceptions, the whole of the individuals liable to the small pox; with the exception of about eight cases, where the symptoms have appeared strongly marked, and necessitated the individuals to lay by, and give up their usual employments for a day or two, all the others have been to
mildly affected as to have been able to attend the busy and labourous calls of the season, and in fifteen days from the commencement of the process, the whole was happily terminated.
It is remarkable that amongst that large number of both sexes and all ages, no accidental sickness has taken place during the course of their vaccination.
It is a contemplation to open a town register, into which the names of all the individuals who have gone regularly through the disease shall be recorded.
A communication of these proceedings has been made by the Selectmen of Milton to the Ministers and Selectmen of the following towns, accompanied with an offer of pure matter for the use of their inhabitants, namely.
Dorchester, Roxbury, Brookline, Denham, Needham, Medfield Quincy, Braintree, Waymouth, Randolph, Canton, Stoughton, Sharon, and Foxbury, inviting them to extend the benefit of this great blessing by her adoption of similar measures; and an opportunity now presents for the inhabitants of any place to obtain a sufficiency of matter of the best kind to commence a course of inoculation free of expense.

BALTIMORE Sept. 5.
Last evening arrived at this port the brig Inca, Mezick in 35 days from the island of Sylt, Denmark, which place he left on the 30th July. We have been favoured with a
file of Copenhagen papers down to the 15th July, from which we shall give translations to morrow.
Capt. Mezick informs that he had read the French bulletin giving an account of a very severe engagement between the emperor Napoleon and the archduke Charles—The French crossed the Danube on three bridges which were previously completed, and commenced the engagement on the 2d July. The battle continued four days successively. The archduke Charles was badly wounded & fled with 40,000 men into Bohemia leaving 60,000 Austrians on the field of battle. The French stated their loss to be comparatively trifling. On the 8th of July an armistice was concluded for four weeks, and Bonaparte was in possession of all the strong holds in Austria. It was not known where the emperor of Austria was. The Russians occupied a great part of Galicia, but had not formed a junction with the French.
A few English ships of war with 300 troops on board, took possession of Cuxhaven the same day the battle commenced between the French and Austrians, and there were no French troops in the neighborhood, were still in possession, from whence they carried on a great smuggling trade with the continent.
Capt. M. had not heard any thing of the great English expedition failing, or of its destination.
From the United States' Gazette.
From our correspondents.
"BALTIMORE, Sept. 5."
"Dear Sir—I have just time to say a few words to prevent you from being misled by our morning papers. A report was very current yesterday evening, that the archduke Charles had been defeated by Napoleon with the loss of 60,000 and 100 pieces of artillery, that he stopped in his flight (with 40,000) to take advantage of an armistice which Napoleon, very liberally offered him.—This was the captain's story.
I am just informed by the editor of the Federal Republican that the passengers contradicted the report and say that the emperor was defeated. Another vessel started at the same time with that which brings these reports. She has the bulletins and other papers, and is hourly expected.

A CAUTION.
SOME time ago I assigned to a certain William Sparks, a note on William Sanders of Fayette County, for the sum of one hundred dollars, at the time of the assignment it was expressly understood, that I was not to be liable, on said assignments in case Sanders should prove insolvent—Sparks being better acquainted with Sanders than I was, took upon himself all risk. In consequence of an unjust attempt made by said Sparks, to recover of me on account of my assignment in which he has failed, I give this notice to prevent honest men from trading with said Sparks for his pretended claim on me.

THE EXILE OF ERIN'S RETURN, TO HIS NATIVE COUNTRY.
Over the hills of Slieve-Galen, as homeward he wended, The Exile of Erin oft paused with delight; To dear recollections, his soul the return'd As each well-known object return'd to his sight; Here, was the brook, oh! how bright it was then, Here was the bower, where with love first he started, And here was the old oak, where, when he departed, He carv'd his last farewell, 'twas—Erin go bragh.

THE STAR IN THE EAST;
A SERMON, Preached in the Parish-Church of St. James, Bristol, on Sunday, Feb. 26, 1809, for the benefit of the "Society for Millions to Africa and the East." By the Rev. Claudius Buchanan, LL. D. from India.
EXTRACTS. Thus far we have spoken of the success of the Gospel in Asia, by means of European preachers. But we shall now exhibit to you evidence from another source, from a new & unexpected quarter. We are now to declare what has been done, independently of our exertions and in regions where we have no labourers, and no access. And this I do to show you, that whether we assist in the work or not, it is God's will that it should begin. You have hitherto been contemplating the Light in India. We have now to announce to you, that a Light hath appeared in Arabia, and dawned, as it were, on the Temple of Mecca itself.
Two Mahometans of Arabia, persons of considerable wealth, have lately been converted to the Christian faith. One of them has already suffered martyrdom, and the other is now engaged in translating the Scriptures, and in concerting plans for the conversion of his countrymen. The name of the martyr was Abdallah; and the name of the other, who is now translating the Scriptures, is Sabat; or, as he is called since his Christian baptism, Nathaniel Sabat. Sabat resided in my house some time before I left India, and I had from his own mouth the chief part of the account I shall now give you. Some particulars I had from others. His conversion took place after the martyrdom of Abdallah, to whose death he was confiding; and he related the circumstance to me with many tears.
Abdallah and Sabat were intimate friends, and being young men of family in Arabia, they agreed to travel together, and to visit foreign countries. They were both zealous Mahometans. Sabat is the son of Ibrahim Sabat, a noble family of Beni-Sabit, who trace their pedigree from Mahomet. The two friends left Arabia, after paying their adoration at the tomb of their prophet at Mecca, and travelled through Persia, and thence to Kabul. Abdallah was appointed to an office at Kabul under Zemaun Shah, king of Kabul; and Sabat left him there, and proceeded on a tour through Tartary.
While Abdallah remained at Kabul, he was converted to the Christian faith by the perusal of a bible (as supposed) belonging to a Christian from Armenia then residing at Kabul. In the Mahometan states it is death for a man of rank to become a Christian. Abdallah endeavoured for a long time to conceal his conversion, but finding it no longer possible, he determined to flee to some of the Christian churches near the Caspian Sea. He accordingly left Kabul in disguise, and had gained the great city of Bokhara, in Tartary, when he was met in the streets of that city by his friend Sabat, who immediately recognized him. Sabat had heard of his conversion and flight, and was filled with indignation at his conduct. Abdallah knew his danger, and threw himself at the feet of Sabat.
He confessed that he was a Christian, and
implored him by the sacred tie of their former friendship, to let him escape with his life. "But Sir," said Sabat, when relating the story himself, "I had no pity. I caused my servants to seize him, and I delivered him up to Morad Shah, king of Bokhara. He was sentenced to die, and a herald went through the city of Bokhara, announcing the time of his execution. An immense multitude attended, and the chief men of the city. I also went and stood near to Abdallah. He was offered his life if he would abjure Christ, the executioner standing by him with his sword in his hand. 'No' said he, (as if the proposition were impossible to be complied with) 'I cannot abjure Christ.' Then one of his hands was cut off at the wrist. He stood firm, his arm hanging by his side with but little motion. A physician by desire of the king, offered to heal the wound if he would recant. He made no answer, but looked up steadily towards heaven, like Stephen the first martyr, his eyes streaming with tears. He did not look with anger towards me. He looked at me, but it was benignly, and with the countenance of forgiveness. His other hand was then cut off. 'But Sir,' said Sabat, in his imperfect English, 'he never changed, he never changed. And when he bowed his head to receive the blow of death, all Bokhara seemed to say, 'what new thing is this?'"
Sabat had indulged the hope that Abdallah would have recanted when he was offered his life; but when he saw that his friend was dead, he resigned himself to grief and remorse. He travelled from place to place, seeking rest and finding none. At last he resolved to visit India. He accordingly came to Madras about five years ago. Soon after his arrival he was appointed by the English government a Mufi, or expounder of the Mahometan law; his great learning and respectable station in his own country rendering him eminently qualified for that office. And now the period of his own conversion drew near. While he was at Vizagapatam, in the Northern Circars, exercising his professional duties, Providence brought in his way a new testament in Arabic. He read it with deep thought, the Koran laying before him. He compared them together, and at length the truth of the word of God fell on his mind like a flood of light, as he himself expressed it. Soon afterwards he proceeded to Madras, a journey of 300 miles, to seek Christian baptism; and having made a public confession of his faith, he was baptized by the Rev. Dr. Kerr, in the English church at that place, by the name of Nathaniel, in the 27th year of his age.
Being now desirous to devote his future life to the glory of God, he resigned his secular employ, and came by invitation to Bengal, where he is now engaged in translating the Scriptures into the Persian language. This work hath not hitherto been executed for want of a translator of sufficient abilities. The Persian is an important language in the East, being the general language of Western Asia, particularly among the highest classes, and is understood from Calcutta to Damascus; but the great work which occupies the attention of this noble Arabian, is the promulgation of the Gospel among his own countrymen; and from the present fluctuations of religious opinion in Arabia, he is sanguine in his hopes of success. His first work is entitled (Neama Belhratun lil Arabi) "Happy news for Arabia;" written in the Nabathee, a common dialect of the country. It contains an eloquent and argumentative elucidation of the Gospel, with copious authorities admitted by the Wahabians. And prefixed to it, is an account of the conversion of the author, and an appeal to the members of his well known family in Arabia, for the truth of the facts.
The following circumstances in the history of Sabat ought not to have been omitted. When his family in Arabia had heard that he had followed the example of Abdallah, and turned Christian, they dispatched his brother to India (a voyage of two months) to assassinate him. While Sabat was sitting in his house at Vizagapatam, his brother presented himself in the disguise of a Faqeer, or beggar, having concealed under his mantle a dagger. He rushed on Sabat, and wounded him. But Sabat seized his arm and his servants came to his assistance. He then recognized his brother. The assassin would have become the victim of public justice, but Sabat interceded for his brother, and sent him home in peace, with letters and presents to his mother's house in Arabia. And these, my brethren, are the influences I wished to lay before you, of the Divine power of the christian religion recently exemplified in the East. The conversions of Abdallah and Sabat seem to have been as evidently produced by the Spirit of God, as any conversion in the primitive church. Other instances have occurred in Arabia of a similar kind, and on the very borders of Palestine itself. These are like the solitary notices which in other nations, have announced the approach of general illumination. John Huls, and Jaron of Prague, were not perhaps, more taled of in Europe, than Abdallah and Sabat are, at this day, in Bucharia and Arabia.
* One of those copies sent to India by the "Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge." † Sabat is now at Danapore, in Bengal, with the Rev. Mr. Mason, Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge, Chaplain to the East India Company, who is well qualified, by his knowledge of the Arabic and Persian language, to superintend his labours. Mirza Pirtut, another celebrated Persian scholar, who visited England some years ago, is engaged as coadjutor of Sabat in his translation. Mr. Martyn himself is translating the Scriptures into the Hindostanee language. Sabat, soon after his arrival in Bengal, visited the Baptist Missionaries at Serampore, and remained there for two months and a half, that is, from August to October, 1807. Ever since that period he has been at Danapore. Mr. Martyn, in his latest letters, speaks of his friend Sabat in terms of affection and admiration. Sabat accounted himself, at one time, the best mathematician and logician in Arabia. Mr. Martyn was senior Wrangler in mathematics at Cambridge, in the year 1801.
