JOHN CRITTENDEN. March 31 1789.

Mr. Bradford.
I AM told that somebody has given a lawyer a guinea to write, and the printer ten Dollars to publish a piece last winter in the Richmond Gazette in answer to that which was printed in your paper No. 8. Vol. 2. signed by A FARMER.
It seems this gentleman has signed himself a real friend to the PEOPLE, and is the "Member of the convention for Mercer County" who the Farmer charges with having wrote a petition and carried it to the Assembly with 700 subscribers, and afterwards came back and denied in convention that he had any hand in the matter. And I also hear that somebody has published a piece (in the same gazette, which was afterwards printed in Philadelphia) concerning an old man being ordered into custody by one of the Justices of Mercer for saying the Militia ought not to fight without pay, who would have been sent off straight to prison if the Justice could have hired a lawyer to write a Mitimus.
Now Sir, if these gentlemen are real friends to the Kentucky people, I think they ought to have published their pieces in your Gazette, where the Farmer and the old man as well as all the rest of us, might have an opportunity to read them, and give a fair chance to employ a lawyer on both sides, that the matter may be fairly investigated, and we may be able to judge who is right, and who is wrong. If the Farmer could see the real friends piece, perhaps he might stand forth and defend himself - and the old man who said we ought to be paid for fighting, might also give his reason for so saying if he found it necessary.
I think the publishing those pieces 6 or 700 miles from home, where perhaps neither the old man or the farmer are known or cared for, seems like an attempt to cut throats behind backs; and moreover shews a spirit of cowardice which does little credit to the friends of our District.
I hope these gentlemen will have their pieces put in your gazette, that we may all see them. And I hope that every body hereafter who has any scandalous things to publish about any of us Kentuckians, will confine themselves to the district where the parties are known, and where Lawyers and printers may be employed as cheap and will do their work as well as at Richmond, or any other place.
A FRIEND TO TRUTH.
XXXXX
LEIPSICK, November 14.
THE king of Prussia and the elector of Saxony have had in meeting - a meeting it is said, of chance. Be this as it may certain it is, that they have had two long conferences, and the day before yesterday were out together on a grand hunting party.
BERLIN, November 12.
By letters from Poland we learn that prince Radzivil, true to the cause of his country, has made an offer to furnish 1600 men, completely equipped, and to be paid from his own private purse, for the period of three months. He has also patriotically engaged to furnish thirty cannon, with every contingency that may be necessary for the artillery thereunto belonging. It is likewise confidentially reported, that the grand Duchy of Lithuania has made an offer of 100,000 dollars for the same purpose, as a gratuitous gift, six hundred thousand Florins.
PETERSBURG, November 14.
No intelligence of any importance has arrived from either of our grand armies, except what the public already sufficiently know relative to the siege of Oczakow. Certain it is, however that our fleet in the Baltic continues still to annoy the Swedish fleet there, and have so effectually distressed them, that they are entirely cut off from every avenue through which they might receive provisions. Their distress therefore must be infinite. Captain Eversen, who lately signalized himself by destroying a number of Swedish vessels, has been honoured with a letter from the Empress
expressive of the high sense she entertained of his gallantry, and appointing him to the station of a captain of the first rank.
COPENHAGEN, November 22.
The prince royal is now, we learn, at Christiana, but is daily expected back, every preparation being already made for his reception, as well as for that of prince Charles of Hesse, who is to accompany him.
According to our latest advices, the Swedish fleet, after various manoeuvres had found means to escape from the Russian squadron, which had been stationed to watch their motions; but, if we may believe the same accounts, the Swedes have since been entirely frozen up in the port of Helsingfors. They must consequently pass the winter there; and it is well known that they are already in extreme want of provisions.
In consequence of the dangers attending the navigation of the Baltic at this season, admiral Leijon has returned to this port, accompanied by two ships of the line, and one frigate. An epidemic fever has carried off many of the different crews; and several of the surviving ships have been sent to Copenhagen, where it is still proposed to oppose the sailing of the ships lately armed there, as well as the return of the Swedish fleet, now anchoring in the port of Scavourg.
ELISINEUR, November 11.
There are at present not less than three hundred vessels belonging to different nations off this port, all bound for the North Seas.
LEIPSICK, November 10.
It is currently reported here, that there has been a great slaughter of the Russians, in consequence of a successful sally which the Turks have made from the fortress of Oczakow. The left wing, commanded by general Suwarow, it is said, would have been cut to pieces, if prince Repnin had not opportunely come up to his relief. It is added that on this bloody occasion, the general and thirty officers were among the slain, and that general Suwarow himself with forty officers were dangerously wounded.
FRANKFORT, November 15.
We learn from Vienna, that the campaign will not finally close till the capture of Bibach, Vokuf, and the castles situated on the Unna, on account of the difficulties that might attend the obtaining possession of these places next campaign, as it is highly probable that before that period the enemy would send a powerful army into Bosnia, by the way of Romelia, Albania and Bulgaria.
PRESBURG, November 6.
Great preparation are making for the reception of the emperor who is daily expected here.
By advices from Semlin we learn, that since the arrival of his imperial majesty there, the inhabitants have ceased to entertain any idea of an invasion. The Turks are re-enforcing themselves powerfully at Belgrade.
HAGUE, November 28.
Prayers have been put up in the English churches of this place, and our principal cities, for the recovery of the king of Great Britain's health. In the prince's private chapel on Sunday last, a prayer on the same occasion was used in the presence of the Stadtholder, his consort, family and household. Our ministers in many districts, to shew their attachment, have not been backward on the same occasion.
LONDON, Dec. 11.
The dog Fox which lately came from the Alps to the prince is quite tame. The female is not yet arrived, but expected every day. They are the more valuable, as there can be no brood cubs, the being barren, and not their another vixen to be found in the universe.
The Danish fleet just returned to the road of Copenhagen has lost one third of its crew, either by sickness or death. The men should be very careful of
making hasty arrangements, which cannot afterwards be superjeded, and if violating any principles of general and constitutional equity and justice. The act of settlement is the sacred palladium of this country, and the wise provisions made by that memorable law, should be carefully attended to, not only with regard to the marriages, but also the descent of the Crown as by law established.
The permanent establishment of a sole regent will be considered by the parliament of Ireland, and from their present independency, they may not possibly be inclined to follow any hasty measures that may be rashly adopted here. While things remain as they are, some trivial inconveniencies may follow; but premature jobs and rash experiments will be pregnant with unknown and unforeseen evils. What will conscientious men think of their oaths of allegiance!
If a change in the administration should take place, it is sincerely hoped that the present lord high chancellor may be still retained; his skill and impartiality are the present admiration of the court, and the several suits which now remain for his judgment would by his deposition be much injured.
It is the etiquette of the privy council, that no member out of the cabinet attends, but those who are particularly summoned: on wednesday last all the privy counsellors who were in town, of every denomination, were summoned; and all attended who were not disabled by indisposition.
Mr. Pitt's popularity, in every part of the country, is as extended as the name of Chatham; from the lowest mechanic up to the independent country gentleman, there is not a man who has any thing to lose, but knows that he shall not lose, while it is in the hands of Mr. Pitt.
It is reported that the French ambassador who retired silently to the Hague about four months ago, leaving his family as seeming pledges of his speedy return to his embassy, has withdrawn those pledges, and called them home to Versailles. How does this look, Monsieur St. Priest? - Perhaps the French cabinet wants to see the king of Prussia over head and ears engaged in the Turco Russian war, and its concomitant wars.
FREDERICKSBURG, March 12.
On Saturday evening last, his Excellency GENERAL WASHINGTON arrived in town from Mount Vernon, and early on Monday morning he set out on his return. The object of his Excellency's visit was, probably, to take leave of his aged mother, sister and friends, previous to his departure for the new Congress, over the councils of which the united voice of America has called him to preside.
***** TAKEN up on the waters of big Sandy river, near the folks, & now at Mr. Vancouvers settlement, a bright bay mare, and yearling colt; the mare is about thirteen hands high, aged, and branded with P S on the near buttock, valued with the colt, to six pounds. Also, a dark bay or rather brown, three years old filly, about fourteen hands high, but without a brand, or any particular distinguishing mark, valued to six pounds also.
