MR. BRADFORD,
I FIND a second Number from your press, signed Timoleon, consisting principally of a train of false statements, in order to mislead the public. He begins by observing that his former Number had noticed that the influence of French politics in our country, has had the most unfavorable operation on our national concerns. Now, sir, can any thing be more false? If he had been in France, and reverting the observation, he would have struck the nail on the head; for France acknowledges that American politics did start the French revolution. But let Timoleon compare the conduct of '76 with the conduct of Kentucky in the present case, and he will find that the same cause only produced the same effects (at least in Virginia); for, as soon as they considered their rights were invaded, they immediately assembled in the different counties, declared their minds openly, as the Kentuckians have done; yea, went further, appointed committees to watch the movements of government, and consult the general good of the nation; also formed volunteer companies to defend their rights, if government should attempt to enforce their oppressive laws, which government attempting to do, brought on a seven years bloody war, which, through the assistance of France, placed America in a state of independence. Timoleon tells you, that "the degree of estimation which ought to be entertained for the measures which the French first embraced, to throw off the shackles of despotism, will be naturally felt by every nation and individual, who are capable of thinking and feeling in the cause of humanity," &c. &c. Now, sir, ambiguity is couched in these observations, especially when he tells you it was natural for the people of the United States to approve the French measures. I will ask Timoleon, if the combination in arms against the French people had the feelings he speaks of? He would immediately answer no—the fact is too glaring to be denied. But what must we think of Timoleon and others, who, in one breath, say these principles demanded from the American people in particular, and the whole race of mankind in general, their united approbation, &c. and in the next, condemn them for the effect which that cause produced; not because it was bad in its nature, but because a combination of bad men tried to overturn it. He blames the French people for carrying war from home; but this is only a subterfuge, for every fool knows that war is better abroad than at home, and the French nation had their territory invaded so early, that they knew if they did not want the ravages of war at home, they must carry them abroad themselves, and it happened that they had sense enough to do, and have done it with success, and I hope that their successes will continue—monarchy is no more. But he tells of a great deal of blood being shed by the French people; there was a necessity for it—there was a great combination against them, and that of kingdoms and empires, who not only put themselves in arms abroad, but by their emissaries and agents constantly fomented strife in the very bowels of the nation, yea, in their capital and councils; so that it was necessary to fix up a guillotine at home, as well as send the sworn abroad, if they intended to support a republican government. But he tells you the innocent suffered; if they had not took part, or kept company with the guilty, they would, perhaps, have escaped their sufferings. Timoleon calls your attention to the "savage barbarity of that nation, in the execution of their king, discarding every obligation most sacred in the sight of God and man," &c. Now, sir, if he dared, what do you think he would say about the Americans dissolving their sacred obligations, in the sight of God and man, to their king? Why, the same things. But, he will say, they did not kill him; I answer, they did his men and officers, and it was because they could not get at him, that he escaped.
A retrospective view of the conduct of America.
In 1765 the king of Britain attempted to enforce a stamp act, contrary to the use with the Americans—Did they tamely submit? No, sir—hear what a British writer says respecting their proceedings: "When the stamp act, printed by royal authority, reached the colonies, it was treated with every mark of indignation and contempt. It was publicly burnt in several places, together with the effigies of those who were supposed to be the most active in bringing it about; it was not the common people only, but persons of all ranks who engaged in opposition to this act, and in particular the provincial assemblies; also such ship masters as ventured to take stamps on board, had abundant reason to repent it on the arrival at their destined ports; where, to save their vessels from fire, they were forced to deliver their cargoes of stamped paper into the hands of the enraged multitude, to be treated in the same ignominious manner in which the act had been treated; the inhabitants of the different colonies also established committees from every colony to correspond with each other concerning the general affairs of the whole." And when that monarch sent in the tea in '73, contrary to the laws of America and with the people, what were the consequences—the tea drowned, which caused the port of Boston to be shut: What did the Americans then? They assembled and consulted throughout the United States, and entered into the most solemn engagements to suspend all commercial intercourse with Great Britain, from the last day of August '74; and in the next month delegates met in congress from about thirteen states—volunteer companies were raised throughout the Union—congress drew up petitions, praying for the repeal of those oppressive unconstitutional laws; and when said petitions were rejected, they immediately regulated the militia, appointed minute men and regular troops, and proceeded like men of spirit, till they gained a sovereign and independent government by the sword; and our men in government knew they were in when they wished to change the constitution in '88—they decreed that every article of the new constitution should be made public to their sovereigns, in order to gain their consent. Now, sir, this was the uniform spirit and conduct of the
Americans; and when that partial law, the excise, was passed, what spirit shewed itself then? And when the last congress violated our constitution, what appeared then? Has not their spirit and conduct been uniform? If it has, what must we think of a late writer, who says, "the influence of French politics in our country has had the most unfavorable operation on our national concerns." This is laid as a foundation for a chain of information to cool the spirits of the Kentuckians. But I don't think one of them will mind him, except a stamp or excise master, or those who have views of that kind—it is too glaring to lead thinking men aside, who know any thing of America: but if that writer will go to France, and reverse his assertion, he will then be believed by
AN OLD REPUBLICAN.
PARIS, July 23.
A report prevails here, that according to letters arrived at Grenoble from Marseilles, there has been an engagement between the fleet commanded by admiral Bruyes and that commanded by rear admiral Nelson. These letters state, that the engagement took place not far from Malta; that two of the English ships were sunk and four taken, and that Nelson's squadron is diminished three fourths.
[L'Echo de la Rep. Francois.]
NEW-YORK, Sept. 25.
At length public expectation receives gratification on the interesting subjects of European politics. Yesterday by the ship Fanny, in 48 days from Greenock, we have received English papers to the tenth of August. The first thing that strikes us, is what relates to Mr. Gerry. He received a passport from the French government on the fifteenth of July, on the delivery of which Mr. Talleyrand took occasion to send him another letter, in which he throws the whole blame of the failure of the negotiation on the inflexibility of the American government. Every article of European intelligence breathes war here, and among the continental powers—Ireland is reduced to tranquility, and promises, contrary to predictions, abundant harvest. England remains calm and dignified in the midst of splendid successes. Buonaparte, in all probability is in the hands of the gallant Nelson. The flame of war is lighting up its devouring fires, and every where we see omens of a general and dreadful conflagration. The Austrians have resolved to refuse assent to the exorbitant demands of the haughty and venal Directory—Sweden is mustering her forces and brightening her amour—Prussia is no longer pursuing a tempoising and short-sighted policy—Russia has dispatched to the aid of England one squadron by the Baltic, and another by the Euxine, very opportunely, to share in the total overthrow of the boasted conqueror of Asia. Naples, we fear, is swallowed up in the Vespuvian vortex of the French revolution.
SAVANNA, Sept. 14.
Extract of a letter from Malaga to a gentleman in this city, dated 26th June 1798.
"Since my last, but one circumstance occurs to me worthy notice, which is the capture of an American ship by a Spanish privateer. The ship sailed from Cadiz for Bourdeaux last January, but previous to her sailing, application was made to Col. Humphreys, at Madrid, for a certificate of the property's being American, upon the presumption of its greater efficacy than one from a consul. By virtue of this certificate, she passed the English fleet off Cadiz, four or five days after she was captured by a Spanish privateer, carried into a Spanish port, vessel and cargo condemned; an appeal was entered and the cause tried at Madrid. The attorney for the captors declared no notice ought to be taken of this certificate, it merited no faith, for though apparently a fair & honest paper, the giver of it was not so, consequently the condemnation was confirmed. Col. Humphreys immediately wrote an official letter to Sávrado, the Spanish minister, that unless the vessel and cargo were immediately released, with costs and damages, he should consider it hostile to his country, and should write his government to that effect. What the result will be time will discover, but it has given great uneasiness to the Spanish court, as the captors are prohibited from selling or molesting the vessel or cargo."
By the same letter we learn, that the Dey of Algiers, with whom America had established a treaty, was beheaded with his ministers and secre-
taries; and that his successor demanded of the United States 600,000 dollars, as the only condition of a continuance of peace. This is given as information that may be depended upon.
NORFOLK, Oct. 1.
The Toulon fleet has been taken and untaken so many times, that there is but little credit to be attached to the various reports in circulation respecting it. The Baltimore papers say accounts have been received there as late as the sixteenth of August, from Madeira, stating that Buonaparte, together with his fleet, were blocked up in Malta by admiral Nelson. It will be necessary to observe that these accounts were brought to Madeira by an American vessel from Malaga, and to Malaga by a Genoese vessel, from some other place. Malaga is distant full 14 degrees from Madeira; therefore, if we allow sufficient time for the passage of the American from Malaga, and rest some little faith on the probability of the report having been in circulation there for some time previous to her sailing, we shall find that we have an old story dished up anew. Capt. Ropes, arrived at Salem on the first instant, as stated in our last, informs, also, that admiral Nelson had blocked up the men of war belonging to the Toulon fleet; but that the transports were all out, and Buonaparte with them. It is wonderful that the transports should go out alone. If admiral Nelson had sufficient force to keep the men of war in port, he ought certainly to have stopped the transports. It is said he appeared off Malta soon after the island surrendered. This account was as late as the 26th July, from Gibraltar.
Another account from Gibraltar, of the same date, says, "At that time no accounts of any action between Nelson and Buonaparte, were received, nor where the fleets were. The French frigate captured was conjectured to be worth 200,000l. She was manned with prime sailors and sent to England." All agree in the account of the capture of a French frigate, but in nothing else. [Epit. Times.]
ALEXANDRIA, October 2.
We are informed that a dreadful mortality prevails among the shipping at City Point and up James' river.
Arrived, yesterday at the fort, the ship Bellona, captain Dade, from Rotterdam.
Capt. Dade left Rotterdam the 20th July, and informs that a short time previous to his sailing all American vessels in the ports of France had been embargoed and their hatches sealed. The embargo had extended as far as Flushing, and was expected to take place immediately in Holland; in consequence of which every American captain who could not get away, was endeavoring to sell his vessel.
A few days before captain D. left Rotterdam, a number of open row boats, containing thirty-seven armed men each, had arrived at Helvoetsluys from France: for what purpose they were intended was not known.
Mr. Gerry still remained in Paris, but Mr. Pinckney, it was reported, had gone to England.
The Bellona brought no papers.
Lexington, October 31.
On Monday morning the Mercury, by Farenheit's scale, stood fourteen degrees below freezing, and this morning at twenty-two at sunrise. It is the coldest weather ever experienced at the same season in this place.
From the Guardian of Freedom, of Oct. 23.
A few days since, a Fish, different from any heretofore seen on the western waters, was caught in the Kentucky, at the mouth of Drennon's Lick creek—it was about seven feet and an half in length, and as large as a common man's body; its head very much resembled that of a wolf with the ears taken off; the skin was handsomely variegated in color, and laid off in diamonds which were hard as flint, and would with a steel strike fire. The weight of the fish is unknown, as no steelyards could be procured that would weigh it.

C. FREEMAN,
PHYSICIAN & SURGEON,
Late of the Indian towns, from the North-Western Territory of the United States, now at Lexington in Kentucky.
RESPECTFULLY informs the public, that he has been regularly bred to the art of PHYSIC and SURGERY, studied three and an half years with doctor Laurence, V. D. Veer, an eminent practitioner, and late president of the medical society of the state of New-Jersey; attended doctor William Shippen's lectures on anatomy, surgery and midwifery, in the city of Philadelphia—received a license to practice as a physician and surgeon throughout the state of New-Jersey, 13th of August, 1785, from the honorable David Brearly and Isaac Smith, two of the justices of the supreme court of the state of New-Jersey, agreeable to an act passed 25th November, 1783, by the council and general assembly of that state, for regulating the practice of physic and surgery.
Since which time, he has travelled through twenty-two different tribes of Indians, among whom he has resided nearly four years, and made it his constant study to investigate and find out the virtues of all kinds of herbs, roots, plants and simples, used by them in the curing of diseases; by which means he has made a number of valuable discoveries in the healing art, and now (with the blessing of God) cures and gives relief in most diseases incident to the human body—viz. Fevers, inflammations, eruptions, hemorrhages, fluxes, fits, cramps, convulsions, head-aches, fore-eyes, bleeding at the nose, colds, coughs, pain in the breast, spitting of blood, pains in the stomach, indigestion, night sweats, inward debilities, low spirits, vapours in men, bite-ics in women, difficulty of making water, bloody urine, coliveness and rheumatism, effectually destroys worms; cures fist and wandering pains arising in different parts of the body, the effects of the improper use of mercury, green wounds, old sores, ulcers, burns, scalds, cankers, scald-head in children, piles and fistulas, the whites in women, and all femina weaknesses in both sexes; the bite of the viper, rattle snake, and all venomous bites effectually cured.
The many cures performed within four years past, which will fully appear (to any gentleman who will please to call upon him, being too lengthy for this paper) by papers and vouchers of cures performed, now in his hands, properly attested, and whose authenticity cannot be denied, flatters himself is sufficient to convince the public that he has been successful in curing diseases, and that this is not intended as an imposition upon mankind.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
TO WAR.
DREAD power accursed, whose frowning hand, Hath drenched the Eastern World in gore Whose breath pestiferous and blazing brand, Have spread wide devastation on the shore.
Too long the earth hath heard the Clarian roar, Hath seen thine Ensigns drear unfurled: Oh! sheathe thy sabre, bend thy bow no more, Nor quite depopulate the World.
Approach not these fair plains, oh, wasting war! Crops not, with envy fierce, the Atlantic flood; For where the thundering rolls her furious car, The path is pay'd with blood!
Green nod the forests on Columbia's hills, Wide wave the harvests o'er her fertile plains; And harmony on purest aether thrills Her most enchanting soul-subduing strains.
Yet if thy voice be heard, her song shall cease, The with'ring woods shall mourn their verdant green— Plenty and joy shall flee with banish'd grief, And once o'erwhelming ruin blast the scene.
ANECDOOTE.
The parish of P—— was in want of a minister. Mr. —— preached on Sunday, and had the good fortune to please the congregation. A convocation of the parishioners was called, & a motion made for Mr. —— to settle with them. Here two zealous Christians rose, and started two tremendous objections—one had seen him jump over a fence six feet high; and the other had observed him, unlike all other divine precedents, actually galloping his horse! The facts were unrefutable, and necessarily admitted in all their force—It was agreed to send for Mr. —— and hear what he might have to say in his exoneration. He had galloped his horse to avoid a shower of rain, and jumped over the fence for some other prophane reason: But, after much profound debate, his settlement was concluded upon, with a provision that he should never leap a fence more than four feet high, except he put his hands upon it, nor gallop his horse except when a physician was necessary in his family.

The following is inserted by request, in answer to Mr. Robert Watkins's publication in our paper of the 6th and 13th of June last.
MR. PRENTIS,
I request you will insert in your paper the following statement and affidavit, which have been transmitted to Mr. Davis, for publication.
May 1, 1798.
WILLIAM DOUGLAS.
Petersburg, April 28, 1798.
MR. DAVIS,
OBSERVE that Robert Watkins hath thought proper to publish in your Gazette of the 24th inst. a vindication of his conduct relative to his purchase of capt. Gill's military lands, with a full knowledge of my having previously bought them. The following affidavit of a disinterested and respectable witness, will enable the public to judge whether I was not warranted by every principle of prudence with respect to myself, and of propriety towards others, to publish the caution, of which he pretends to complain.
That E. Gill conveyed to me his right to the military land in question the deed itself will clearly prove; that it was in trust for the purposes therein specified is not denied, but the nature of the business will shew, that this circumstance did not authorize the interference of Watkins. Gill himself had not a completely legal title to the land—he had not a patent for it—it had only been surveyed, but the surveys had not even been taken out of the surveyor general's office.—He had himself therefore, but an imperfect title—and all he could convey to me was this inchoate, and incomplete title, with full power and authority to have it completed by obtaining a patent.—This conveyance did Gill make me, and this authority he did delegate to me in the most ample and unequivocal manner, declaring in the said deed, that "it was delegated without any power of revocation." That Watkins had a full knowledge of this conveyance, and irrevocable authority, is undeniable—he seems to admit it in his advertisement. Could he then be duly authorized by Gill, or any other person but myself, to interfere in this business or to take out the surveys, after I had refused to employ him as my agent therein? He never informed me before he went to Kentucky, that he had made or was about to make an agreement with Gill, about the said land—I could not even suspect such a thing. If Watkins under his agreement with Gill, had taken out the surveys out of the surveyor's office, and procured a patent, before I procured one, my title would most certainly have been defeated, my authority negatory, and my claims entirely lost. As I had but an equitable title, if Watkins obtained a legal title before I did, I could never recover against him, except in a court of equity, where I must prove that he had previous notice of my claim, and even there I was advised, that I could not succeed against an innocent purchaser without notice of my right. When I received notice from Kentucky, that he had taken out the surveys for 3000 acres of the land; alledging himself to be owner or part owner thereof, had I not reasons to apprehend, that my title would be defeated? I did not know Watkins's motives or intentions. If he obtained a patent, and sold the land to an innocent purchaser, unacquainted with my claim, I could never recover it in law or equity. I therefore apprized the public of my title, merely to secure myself against injury, but by no means to injure the reputation of Watkins or of any other person. If he had candidly and openly informed me that he had bought Capt. Gill's interest in the land; subject to my claim, I should have been perfectly satisfied, but as I was not apprized of this, I alk every man of candor and common sense, whether it was not natural and reasonable for me to apprehend that the intrusions of Watkins might eventually deprive me of the means (vested in me by the said deed) of doing myself justice.
He says that he repeatedly offered to discharge my incumbrance against the said land. He carefully omits to say when he made these offers; I most solemnly declare that he never made any explicit offers to discharge my claim till since the publication of my "Caution" to the public—before that he only offered in vague and indirect terms to buy my claim, but he
carefully concealed from me, that he had made or was about to make an agreement with Gill, for the land, or that he then had the surveys in his possession. I deny that I ever requested him to ride from Richmond to Petersburg for papers relative to the land.—After his first applications, I only told him, that he might call again, if he chose, but nothing was positively determined upon.
My letter of the 31st of August, which he calls to his aid, will clearly prove, that I acted with candor and propriety towards Capt. Gill, and is, together with a copy of the deed from him to me, herewith sent, in order to be deposited in your office, for the inspection of those who may wish to peruse them.
As to what E. Gill has thought proper to announce to the public on this subject, I will only say, that it is as incorrect in point of fact, as it is indelicate in point of expression.
WILLIAM DOUGLAS.
Having been for some years past employed in Mr. Wm. Douglas's business, I am well acquainted with the transaction between him and capt. Erasmus Gill, respecting the military land of the latter, and at his request do give the following candid, impartial and true statement of facts, relating to it, according to the best of my knowledge and memory. That he the said Mr. D. at all times protested, and I am convinced his only object in taking the deed for that land was to secure himself as therein specified, without a view to speculation—to that purpose he wrote Capt. G. the 31st of August last, but to which, within my knowledge, he had no reply, nor heard any thing concerning it until the beginning of this month. That sometime in August or September last, Mr. Robert Watkins made application or spoke to Mr. D. more than once to undertake the agency respecting the securing of and completing the title to the land—the express words used at the time, I do not recollect, except (& what even Mr. W. acknowledged in my presence, again the 12th inst.) "that as he was going to Kentucky, and had been informed of Mr. D's. having a claim to some lands in the Western territory, he would, if Mr. D. did choose it, undertake to look after and do the necessary concerning it, saying you had better give me a good price to do your business; and on Mr. D's. enquiring what he asked for his trouble, he replied, his price was 50 dolls. viz. 40 dolls to be paid him then in hand, in consideration of the trouble he should be at for enquiring and looking after the land, and 10 dollars at his return, if he should bring all the necessary vouchers or papers to complete the title thereto."
I also believe, that at the same time Mr. D. did shew Mr. W. Capt. G's deed to him; however, am sure that he shewed him a copy of the entry made on Col. Anderson's, the surveyor general of that country, books concerning the location of the land, and soon after this conversation Mr. W. wrote him on the subject. Since Mr. W's return from the western country, I have seen Mr. W. different times at Mr. D's, and have heard Mr. D. mention, that Mr. W. had called on him indirectly to buy up his claim against capt. G's land, at which he seemed pleased. About the 1st inst. I understood that Mr. W. had bought the land from Capt. G. at which Mr. D. seemed surprised, as he had not the least information from either of the parties respecting it. Soon after Mr. D. received a letter from Kentucky, with an extract of a letter from Col. Anderson, mentioning that Mr. W. had taken out of his office the surveys for 3000 acres of the said land, saying he was either owner or part owner thereof; this alarmed Mr. D. who called immediately on Capt. G. to know, if he had made any bargain with Mr. W. about the land, if Mr. W. had taken out the surveys, and if he had indorsed them to him; on which, as Mr. D. informed me, Capt. G. told him he had, Mr. D. fearing his interest might be materially affected by these transactions, of which he had been kept ignorant, and more especially, as Mr. W. had possessed himself of the surveys without his knowledge or authority, (which by the deed was invested in him alone) and had got Capt. G's indorsement thereon, he had the caution of the 2d inst. inserted in the papers. A few days after its appearing Mr. W. called on Mr. D. to settle the affair
when Mr. D. upbraided him with taking out the warrants without his authority, and concealing from him his intention of paying the land or of his having the surveys, and told him, that if he had come forward openly, he might have had a relinquishment of his claims at all times with Capt. G's approbation, and on being properly secured agreeable to the intents and purposes of the deed. Mr. W. replied, that he considered himself under no obligation to make Mr. D. acquainted with these things, that he had authority sufficient satisfactory for him, that the deed was merely a trust and the equitable right to the land remained with Capt. G. and that he had agreed with Capt. G. to pay off the claim, which Mr. D. had, which he was acquainted with before he went to the western country; he further said, that he had called more than once on Mr. D. to take up his claim against Capt. G. but not to buy it up. Mr. W. then made proposals of payment at some period to Mr. D. of his claims against capt. G. on his conveying to him his right to the land, on which Mr. D. said he could not or would not do any thing without Capt. G's assent in writing, observing at the same time that a report was spread, that Mr. W. had made him a tender of money for his claim against Capt. G. which Mr. W. knew himself not to be the case, and then Mr. D. desired me to be a witness, that he now called upon Mr. W. if he would pay him the full amount of his claims against Capt. G. conformable to the tenor of the deed he would reconvey to Capt. G. the title to the military land, which being agreed to by Mr. W. and Capt. G's assent in writing obtained, Mr. W. on the 14th inst. settled Mr. D's claim against Capt. G. and Mr. D. gave a release to Capt. G. of his right to the land—and in consequence of this settlement Mr. D. had the caution of the 3d inst. discontinued.
