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 style.

He has provided himself with good servants, a plentiful stock of the best liquors, and in short with every necessary calculated to accommodate and render agreeable the time of those who may favor him with their custom; and he trusts that from the attention which he means personally to give to every department of his business, he will be found to merit that patronage which he thus presumes to solicit from the public.

TENTH FRENCH BULLETIN.
Ebensdorf, May 23.
After describing the form of the Danube at Ebensdorf, the bulletin states, that on the night of the 20th, the Emperor crossed

enna, May 17, and consists of mere abuse of the Austrian government, without one word of news.
Devoult is on the north of the Danube, at Budweis. The French had advanced into Hungary as far as Regelschun; the Austrians are near Presburg.
THIRTEENTH BULLETIN.
Ebensdorf, May 28.
On the night of the 26th, our bridges were carried away by the force of the waters, and mills which had been set afloat. We had not time to drive the piles and to fix the great iron chain. One bridge is repaired, another will be to-morrow. On the 27th we heard of the arrival of the army of Italy at Bruck. Gen. Lauriston has formed a junction with his army, not having heard from them for 12 days. The Viceroy this campaign has manifested a sang froid and a foresight which evince the great commander. Jellichich, who by his insolent proclamation to the Tyrolese so inflamed their passions, has had his whole corps destroyed. The Archduke John, who wrote with such excessive presumption to the duke of Ragusa, evacuated Graz yesterday, scarcely carrying with him 20 or 25,000 men of the fine army that entered Italy—his arrogance has terminated in shame and infamy. The people of Italy accompanied our soldiers with tears and benedictions, and gave them every assistance. Their contempt and hatred of the Archduke John were only equalled by their joy at our triumphant approach. Certain papers showed that they bore a great love for the emperor and would not accept officers under the Austrian government.
The regiments of Italy, who distinguished themselves in Poland, covered themselves with glory. The charming country is rapidly progressing to the most happy destinies. All the accounts from the Austrian army state their loss, on the 21st and 22nd, to have been enormous; the flower of the army perished. The wits of Vienna say that "Gen. Danube saved the Austrian army." Tyrol and Vorarlberg are subjugated. Carinthia, Styria, Carinthia, Salzburg, Upper and Lower Austria, are tranquilized and disarmed.
When Trieste was taken possession of, all English colonial produce was confiscated. Saving the Russian squadron was a circumstance peculiarly agreeable to the Emperor. The junction of the army of Dalmatia approaches.
The brigand Schill, who truly gives himself the title of general in the service of England, who prostitutes the name of the king of Prussia as the satelitte of England to that of Ferdinand, has been driven to an island in the Elbe. The King of Westphalia, besides 15,000 native troops, has one Dutch and one French division; add to this two divisions of a corps of observation under Ribaud and Despeaux, and Beaumont's 3000 cavalry, now disposable by the pacification of Swabia.
The destruction of forty mills which supplied the city of Vienna with bread, is evidence of the hatred of the princes of the house of Lorraine to that city.
FOURTEENTH BULLETIN.
Ebensdorf, June 1.
The bridges on the Danube are entirely rebuilt. They have added to them a flying bridge, and they are preparing all the materials necessary for throwing over another bridge of rafts. Seven machines are driving piles; but the Danube being in several places 24 and 26 feet deep, much time is always taken up in fixing the anchors as the machines are removed. The works however are advancing, and will shortly be finished.
The brigadier general of engineers, Lazowski, is working on the left bank, on the head of a bridge which will be 1600 toises in extent, and will be covered with a good ditch, filled with running water.
The 44th crew of the flotilla of Boulogne, commanded by capt. Balie, has arrived. A great number of boats cruise about the islands and over the bridge, and render a variety of services.
The battalion of navy workmen is employed in making small armed vessels, which will serve to command the river perfectly.
After the defeat of the corps of general Jellichich, M. Mathieu, an officer attached to the staff of the army of Italy, was sent with a dragoon express on the road to Salzburg; having met in succession with a column of 650 troops of the line, and a column of 2000 Landwehrs who were wounded and straggling, summoned them to surrender, and they laid down their arms.
Lauriston, general of division, arrived at Oldenburg, the first county of Hungary, with a strong advanced guard. It appears that there is some commotion in Hungary, that the minds of the people are very much divided, and that the majority is not in favor of Austria.
Lafayette, general of division, has his head quarters opposite Presburg, and has advanced his posts to Altenburg and near to Raab.
Three divisions of the army of Italy have arrived at Neustadt. The viceroy has been for two days at the head quarters of the Emperor.
Gen. Macdonald, commander of one of the corps of the army of Italy, has entered Graz. They found in the capital of Styria immense magazines of provision and clothing and equipments of every sort.
The Duke of Dantzick is at Lintz. The Prince of Ponte Corvo (Berthier) is marching for Vienna. Vandamme, general of division, with the Wurtembergers, is at St. Pölten, Mautern and Krems.
Tranquility prevails at the Tyrol. Cut off by the movements of the duke of Dantzick and of the army of Italy, all the Austrians who had imprudently engaged in this point, have been destroyed, partly by the duke of Dantzick; and the rest, such as the corps of Jellichich, by the army of Italy. Those who were in Suabia had no other resource but to attempt in parties to traverse Germany on their way to the Upper Palatinate. They formed a small column from Linz and cavalry who escaped from Linz, and was met by col. Reiset, of Gen. Beaumont's corps of observation. The column was cut off at Nuernack, and the whole body, officers and soldiers, laid down their arms.
Vienna is quiet; bread and wine are abundant, but meat, which this capital gets from the interior of Hungary, begins to grow scarce. Contrary to all reasons of policy and humanity, the enemy do every thing to
starve their countrymen, and this city, which contains their wives and children. This conduct is very different from that of our Henry IV., who himself supplied an enemy city he was besieging.
The duke of Montebello [Lafnes] died yesterday, at 5 o'clock in the morning. Some time before the emperor conversed an hour with him. His majesty sent, by Gen. Rapp, his aid-de-camp, for Dr. Franc, one of the most celebrated physicians of Europe. His wounds were in good condition; but a destructive fever had made the most injurious progress in a few hours. All the aid of the art was unavailing. His majesty ordered the body of the duke of Montebello to be embalmed and carried to France, to receive the honours due to his high rank and eminent services. Thus has departed one of the most distinguished soldiers France has had. In the numerous battles he had been in, he had received 13 wounds. The emperor has shown great sensibility on this loss, which will be felt by all Frenchmen.
FIFTEENTH BULLETIN.
Ebensdorf, June 2.
The army of Dalmatia has gained the greatest success. It has defeated every thing that opposed it at Mont-Kitta, Gradatz, Lieca and Ottatschitz. The commander in chief Stoisovich was taken. The duke of Ragusa arrived on the 28th [May] at Fiume and formed a junction with the grand army, of which the army of Dalmatia was the right extreme. We will make known the relation of the duke of Ragusa on these events.
On the 28th an English squadron of 4 ships of the line, 2 frigates and a brig appeared before Trieste, with the intention of taking the Russian squadron. The gen. Caffarelli had just arrived then. As the city had no cannon, the Russians landed 24 thirty-fives, and 16 twenty-fours, and fixed them in battery, and immediately clapped springs to their cables. Every thing was prepared to receive the enemy, who having missed his aim retired—1000 Austrians who had passed from Kremz to the right bank of the Danube were defeated by the Wurtemberg corps, who made 60 prisoners.
SIXTEENTH BULLETIN.
Ebensdorf, June 4.
The enemy had thrown a division of 9000 men on the right bank of the Danube, opposite Presburg, which was entrenched in the village of Engerau. The duke of Auerstadt ordered the riflemen [tirailleurs] of Hesse Darmstadt, supported by the 12th of the line (infantry) to attack it yesterday. The village was soon carried. A major, 8 officers of the regiment of Beaulieu (among them the grand son of the field marshal) and 400 men were taken. The rest of the regiment were killed, wounded, or driven into the water. The remainder of the division secured themselves in an island till they could repass the river. The riflemen of Hesse Darmstadt fought well.
The Viceroy's head quarters are this day at Oedenburg.
The most valuable effects of the corps have been removed from Buda to Peterwaradin, whither the empress has retired.
The duke of Ragusa is arrived at Laybach.
Gen. Macdonald is master of Graz. He is surrounding the citadel, which makes a show of resistance.
At the battle of Esling the brigadier Foulers being wounded was thrown from his horse; and major-general Durofnel, one of the emperor's aids, while carrying orders to a division of cuirassiers, who were charging, was also thrown. We have the satisfaction of learning that these two generals and 150 men that we supposed lost, are only wounded, and were found on the field, when the emperor gave orders to concentrate between Esling and Grossaspern, on hearing that the bridges on the Danube had given way. The Danube is lowering; though from the continuation of the heat, a rise is feared.

AUSTRIAN OFFICIAL BULLETIN
DEFEAT OF THE FRENCH.
Published by order of his Imperial Highness the Archduke Charles.
In pursuance of the command of his imperial highness the Generalissimo, the following preliminary report of the brilliant victory obtained the 21st and 22nd of May, is issued on the 23rd from the head quarters at Beilence.
On the 19th and 20th, the emperor Napoleon passed the greater arm of the Danube, with the whole of his army, to which he had drawn all the reinforcements of his powerful allies. He established his main body on the island of Lobau, whence the second passage over the left arm, and his further operations, were necessarily directed. His imperial highness resolved to advance with his army to meet the enemy, and not to obstruct his passage, but to attack him after he had reached the left bank, and thus to defeat the object of his intended enterprise.
This determination excited throughout the whole army the highest enthusiasm. Animated by all the feelings of the purest patriotism, and of the most loyal attachment to their sovereign, every man became a hero, and the smouldering ruins—the scenes of desolation which marked the track of the enemy through Austria had inflamed them with a just desire of vengeance. With joyful acclamations, with the cry, A thousand times repeated, of "Live our good emperor," and with victory in their hearts, our columns at noon on the 21st, proceeded on to meet the reciprocal attack of the advancing enemy; and soon after three o'clock the battle commenced. The emperor Napoleon in person directed the movement of his troops, and endeavoured to break through our centre with the whole of his cavalry; that body of horse he had supported by 60,000 infantry, his guards, and by 100 pieces of artillery. His wings rested on Alpern and Eslingsingen, places to the strengthening of which the resources of nature and of art had, as far as was possible, contributed. He was not able, however, to penetrate the compact mass which our battalions presented, and every where his cavalry shewed their backs, while our cuirassiers unhorsed his armour-equip cavaliers, and our light horse carried death into their flanks. It was a gigantic combat, and is scarce capable of description. The battle with the infantry immediately became general. More than 200 pieces of cannon exhibited on both sides a rivalry in the work of destruction. Alpern was ten times taken, lost, and again conquered. Eslingsingen, after repeated attacks, could not be maintained. At 11 at night the villages were in flames, and we remained masters of the field of battle. The enemy was driven up in a corner, with the island of Lobau and the Danube in the rear. Night had put an end to the carnage.
Meanwhile fire boats, which were floated
down the Danube, destroyed the bridge which the enemy had thrown over the principle branch of the river. The enemy, however, conveyed over during the night, by continued embarkations, all the disposable troops which he had in Vienna and on the Upper Danube, made every possible effort for the reconstruction of his great bridge, and attacked us at 4 in the morning with a furious cannonade from the whole of his artillery, immediately after which an action extended along the whole of the line. Until 7 in the evening every attack was repelled.
The perseverance of the enemy was then compelled to yield to the heroism of our troops, and the most complete victory, crowned the efforts of an army, which, in the French proclamations was declared to be dispirited, and represented as annihilated by the mere idea of the invincibility of their adversaries. The loss of the enemy has been immense; the field of battle is covered with dead bodies, from among which we have already picked up 6000 wounded, and removed them to our hospitals. When the French could no longer maintain themselves in Alpern, the brave Hessians were obliged to make a last attempt, and were sacrificed. At the departure of the courier the emperor Napoleon was in full retreat to the other side of the Danube, covering his retreat by the possession of the large island of Lobau. Our army is still in close pursuit. The more particular details of the memorable day shall be made known as soon as they are collected. Among the prisoners are the French General Durofnel, general of Division, and Foulter Royer, first chamberlain to the empress; also the Wurtemberg gen. Roder, who was made prisoner at Nuzdorf, by the second battalion of the Vienna Landwehr.
May 25.—The day before yesterday the head-quarters of the Archduke Charles were at Brietenlee, in Marchfeld. The strength of the enemy's army is estimated in the Archduke's report at 60,000 men, besides cavalry. The Archduke on his part had collected all his disposable troops previous to the battle. The regiments of Spleny and Kerpén particularly distinguished themselves. The prince Liechtenstein commanded the reserve cavalry.
SALEM, JULY 22.
By the politeness of Mr. Gould, of Beverly, we have been favoured with the loan of a file of French papers to June 11.
Not having an opportunity to examine the papers till a late hour, we are obliged to content ourselves with an outline of the important contents we find in the latest of them. From the 15th bulletin, dated 2nd June, at Ebenfeld, we learn—the French had great success in Dalmatia, and had taken the commander in chief of the army opposed to them. The Duke of Ragusa, reached Fiume on the 18th May, and made a junction with the army of Italy, of which this was the division on the right. The duke reports that an English squadron had reached Trieste with a view to seize the Russian fleet—but such dispositions were made as secured the Russian fleet, and the English left the port. A number of Austrians at Kremz on the right bank of the Danube, were made prisoners by the troops of Wurtemberg.
By the 14th bulletin, at Ebenfeld, June 1st, the bridges on the Danube had been rebuilt, and important preparations had been made on the Danube. After the defeat of Jellichich, the French on the Sava had made many prisoners. Gen. Lafette had his head quarters near Presburg. Gen. Macdonald had entered Graz, and had taken immense stores of the enemy. The duke of Dantzick was at Lintz. The prince of Ponte Corvo at Vienna. Vandamme at St. Pölten. Order was restored in the Tyrol—Vienna was quiet. The duke of Montebello (Marshall Lafnes) had died of his wounds.
From the Bayonne Journal of June 11, we learn that the French had every success in Dalmatia. By letters from Gaspich, the French had taken more than a thousand prisoners, and having dispersed the enemy, the French were advancing. In the Turkish Croatia the Turks had risen in arms, and had invaded the Austrian part of that country. They had taken Celin and Drosnick, and had already possession of a considerable part of that country.
By letters from Trieste the French flag was displayed in that place on the 18th May. The Russians had saluted by repeated discharge of cannon.
From Peterburg May 13, we learn that the Russian troops had received orders to penetrate into the Austrian provinces.
From Prussia we learn that the news of the war between Russia and Austria had reached Warsaw—that the Austrians had entered Warsaw, which they had entered, and that the duke Ferdinand had been forbidden by Prussia to violate the peace of Silesia. On the 13th of May, the Russians were in two days march of Warsaw, and the duke Ferdinand was on his retreat.
The Saxon army had reached Lintz on the 17th of May, and was marching for Vienna.
Couriers for the French emperor passed Leipzig on the 21st May from Russia and from Sweden.
The Austrian general Muher had been wounded at the siege of Thorn—the Russians were moving in that direction.
In the campaign in Italy, the archduke John had lost 1600 men, 60 cannon, and 6 standards.
On the 28th April the emperor of Russia informed the Austrian minister that as the Austrians had attacked the Duchy of Warsaw, he considered himself at War with Austria, and that all diplomatic relations between the two courts had ceased.
The American national brig Syren had arrived at L'Orient, from Baltimore, with dispatches.
LONDON, June 10.
The accounts from the continent respecting Col. Schill continue to be most favorable. It is said that he is advancing with a regular equip arm of 10,000 men, to besiege Cassel. He has issued a proclamation, declaring Jerome Bonaparte an outlaw.
He has beaten the Mecklenburgh troops in several actions. The duke of Brunswick Oels, one of the members of the Rhenish confederacy, has taken the field against the French.
RUSSIA AND AUSTRIA.
A declaration has been published against Austria by the Court of Peterburg, but as it does not go to the length of announcing the commencement of actual hostilities, and it is not likely to be attended with any other result than a suspension of friendly intercourse between the two nations.
PARIS, June 1.
TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH.
On the 25th the Prince Eugene com-
pletely defeated the enemy, with the loss of 7000 killed and wounded.
On the same evening we entered Leo-
bet.
On the 23rd Gen. Macdonald obliged the enemy to capitulate in Lebach. A Lieut. General and 3000 men were made prisoners.
ROTTERDAM, MAY 25.
The official Journal contains an account from Milan, dated May 11, which states in substance, that according to all reports the Austrians on the 12th of May sustained a loss of 12,000 killed, wounded, and prisoners; and that the French in following up their advantages, were already at Udina. At the same time the blockade of Mantova was raised. On the 12th the French head quarters were at St. Daniel.
Gen. Duheme writes from Barcelona, on the 27th of April, that every thing is tranquil around him; that the arrival of the rear admiral Cosmao, convoying, with five ships of the line, 25 vessels, bearing 50,000 quarters of corn flour, roots and ammunition, has spread joy among the city and garrison; that gen. Reding is dead of his wounds, and that with him has perished one of the bitterest enemies of the French. The promptitude of the expedition with which rear admiral, Cosmao was charged, does honour to adm. Gantheaume who commanded it.
Schr. Augusta, has arrived at Beverly, 33 days from Bayonne.—The U. S. dispatch brig Syren, had arrived at L'Orient, in a short passage from Baltimore.
One of the gentlemen who came passenger in the Nancy, from Bristol, (arrived at New York) informs, that on the day he failed (June 1) he received a letter from London, stating, that a flag of truce had arrived from Calais, with a messenger on board from Mr. Armstrong, at Paris, to Mr. Pinkney, in London.
Bonaparte has ordered Joakim Murat, king of Naples, to repair, with all his forces to head quarters, and king Louis and queen of Holland, to join him at Vienna.
Accounts from Portugal state, that gen. Wellesley had quitted the pursuit of Soult, and marched against Victor, in Eltramaradura.
The Spanish Patriots in Asturias have been driven from Oviedo, and the marquis Romana, and the bishop of St. Andero had embarked at Gijon—the former was going round by sea to Vigo.
LATEST FROM FRANCE.
Philadelphia August 2.
Mr. Coles, our messenger to France, who arrived in the United States brig Syren, and was landed at Paulus-Hooks, passed thro' this city on Sunday, charged with dispatches for government, which we have reason to believe are of a most important nature.
The baggage of our minister, gen. Armstrong, was already on board of the Mentor, in which he was to embark immediately for the United States. He may probably be expected next week. Thus ends our negotiation with France.
It seems the only terms upon which Napoleon would treat with us, was our implicitly renouncing all connexion whatever with Great Britain!!! The American property in France and her dependencies, it was expected, would be confiscated, as soon as gen. Armstrong failed, as Napoleon had declared he would seize it wherever he could find it.
The loss of the French in the battle of the Danube on the 21st and 22nd May, was stated in France to be between 40,000 and 60,000 killed, wounded and prisoners, and 14 or 16 generals. No other engagements had taken place, but both parties were reinforcing for another horrible slaughter which it was thought would be desisted one way or the other.
LATEST FROM SPAIN.
By the ship Bramin, capt. Singleton, arrived at the Lazaretto in 30 days from Cadiz, the editors of the Freeman's Journal have received Spanish papers and letters to the 7th of June.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Cadiz, to the editors of the Freeman's Journal, dated June 2, 1809.
"Two days ago we received the account of the capture of Marshal Soult's army of 14,000 men. It is also said that the Marshal has been taken prisoner. This letter, however, is not official."
"There is about 30 American vessels here, among which is the Cornplanter, Gillices, from Philadelphia."
Seville, May 29.
Soult is completely routed. We have taken 4,000 prisoners, his camp, baggage, and train of artillery. This intelligence is officially received. King Pepin (a term of reproach and contempt, by which they designate king Josph) has taken his flight from Madrid to the Cuesta de Labrador in Aranjuez, which he is dismantling.
Intelligence is also received that the duke del Parque has entered Salamanca with 15,000 men; that Soult was taken in a village in Galicia 10 hours after his army routed; that Romana has defeated one of Ney's divisions, and taken Ferrol; and that the French were now only in possession of Corunna.
Seville, June 2.
The peasants of Monfon (in Arragon) having for a long time suffered severely from the enemy, rose in a body and cut off a small division of the French. Another division of the French determined to take revenge, marched to Monfon with 1500 men. They were met by gen. Blake with an inferior force, who completely routed them and compelled them to make a quick retreat.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
LONDON, June 12.
Accounts have been received from Buenos Ayres, brought by a vessel from Cadiz, announcing the total defeat and submission of Liniers to the patriotic party, who had established a Junta, proclaimed Ferdinand VII. and forced Liniers to sign a declaration that he would surrender the government on the arrival of the person appointed to succeed him. In the conflict we learn that 13 of his adherents had been put to death.
BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS, May 30.
A motion was made to requit his majesty to lay before the House copies of the INSTRUCTIONS given to Mr. Erskine, in America, and also of the notes which passed between Mr. E. and the American Government, and between Mr. E. and his majesty's ministers.
Mr. Canning observed, that with respect to the Instructions he should have no objection, as there never had, perhaps, been an instance in the history of the diplomacy of this country, where a minister had so far deviated from the spirit and letter of his instructions. Mr. E. had been instructed to make concessions to the government of the U. States, arising out of such concessions as they should propose on their part to him; and in such manner as should render the concession mutual. Instead of this, however, our minister had made every concession on his part, without obtaining one stipulated concession on the part of America. The instructions had been explicit; and as their production would throw the necessary light on the subject, he would not oppose their production. With respect to the notes, they were already in substance before the public.
In reply to enquiries if Mr. E. had transmitted to government and justification on the subject; and what was the present state of our intercourse with America.
M. Canning said, that Mr. E. had made a communication on the subject, but which the papers already moved for would shew it would not be necessary to produce; and respecting the intercourse, he could not give any very positive or decided answer with propriety. He would, however, observe, that the British merchant would be relieved from much of the inconvenience that would attach to the American trader, the former being aware of the existing circumstances; whereas the latter might be acting on principles that could not be admitted by this country. Care, however, has been taken also that the unpleasant circumstances that had unfortunately occurred, should be productive of as little inconvenience as possible to the subjects of America, who may have acted on this occasion on grounds supposed to be acceded to by this country.
Mr. Stevenson thought it unnecessary to call for Mr. Erskine's defence until he should be put upon his trial. The motion was carried without a division.
FROM BELL'S WEEKLY MESSENGER, (A British Paper)
The American government, with a due consideration of American interests, and of the peculiarity of their situation, suspended the intercourse between the belligerents in America, and ordered a strict embargo on their ports under the tacit understanding, that it should be raised in favor of either power which should repeal its obnoxious orders.
Such was the relative state of things in which Mr. Erskine commenced his negotiation. The manner in which he conducted it, and the point on which it has been dissolved by the English government, are important enough to merit a separate consideration, and as the papers will be laid before parliament in the ensuing week, we shall resume this subject in another paper. Its importance does not seem to be well understood. We live in an age, in which revocations of the acts of plenipotentiaries are so frequent, that the absurdity, and practical mischief of such breaches of faith, are totally overlooked. Who will hereafter confide in plenipotentiaries, when their acts are thus, of common matter of course, revocable at pleasure? There are certainly extreme cases in which such acts ought to be revocable, but the cases must be extreme, and should be rare, lest they destroy the utility of the thing.
But the point of fact is, that the disavowal of Mr. Erskine's act is of a piece with the general conduct of England towards America. Whenever circumstances have in any way admitted it, our tone towards America has always been inuendo, and our conduct every thing but friendly. Every new hope on the continent; every flaw to the drowning expectations of Europe, has been aggravated to this unworthy sentiment. In our prosperity we have bullied America; and when things are not so well with us, we have vented our spite in injudicious language and unworthy conduct towards her. Whilst there were any hopes in Spain, America could get nothing direct from us. But disappointment brought us to our senses, and the negotiation was renewed. The coalition war on the continent has subsequently broken out, and we begin to repent our condescension.
In this manner has the American negotiation been on and off during some years, our demands rising with our hopes and prosperity, and our moderation being only co-existent with our disappointment.
As to the immediate point on which Mr. Erskine's act is to be disavowed by ministers, it is not to be collected from the correspondence. The correspondence on the part of Mr. Erskine is characterized by simplicity and directness. His business lies full upon his mind, and he comes immediately to the point. If it be in any way wanting, it is only in that circuitous equivocal formality of the old diplomacy, in which the writer seems only anxious lest he should be understood as saying something; in which the first sentence is a knot which every succeeding sentence is only employed further to preplex.
The French diplomatisms, formed into a school under Choiseul, grafted the school of logic, and the law of language, upon public correspondence. Every word had its end's appendages, and every phrase was weighed and measured. Lord Malmsbury in England was an eminent instance of this species of diplomacy, and lord Liverpool was formed in the same school. The caution, the precision, the measured gravity, the decorum which carefully avoids every thing of passion and petulance; all these qualities of the old school cannot be too much praised: But where the business is in a point, and the parties are both willing to come at it, we really can see no objection either in prudence or decorum. Mr. Fox was an inimitable example of this simplicity and rectitude.
Mr. Erskine, with a manly directness, acknowledges, without disguise, the unjust violence in the affair of the Chesapeake; he speaks of it with a sense of justice, and at the same time with a candor, which cannot but inspire a very high opinion both of his head and heart.
Nothing can be more disgusting than the flippancy of some of the daily papers upon this subject, who with the most perfect ignorance of the public law, continue to main-

tain what both parties in government have concurred to disavow.
HALIFAX, July 14.
Mr. Erskine's Instructions. Instructions.—Our paper of this day, (provided neither of the cutters from England, or the Phoenix, with Mr. Jackson, is arrived) will be interesting to you. Since publishing it, I have seen a copy of Mr. Canning's official instructions to Mr. Erskine. I had previously supposed him to have laboured under an extraordinary mistake, but on examining that document, I think otherwise. Mr. Erskine having stated to Mr. Canning, that Mr. Madison, Mr. Gallatin, and Mr. Smith, (last autumn) had expressed a desire to come to amicable accommodation with Great Britain, that gentleman, Mr. C. on the 23d January last, tells him that if it be really the case, that the members of the American government have that disposition, his majesty's ministers will be ready to withdraw the objectionable orders, so far as respects America—on the conditions, that—
1st. America shall withdraw her interdicts, embargoes, etc. etc. so far as they relate to the ships of war, and trade of Great Britain—leaving them in force as to France and the powers who adopt her decrees.
2d. America is willing to renounce, during the present war, the pretensions of carrying on in time of war all trade with the enemy's colonies, from which she is excluded during peace.
3d. Great Britain, for the purpose of securing the operation of the embargo, and of the bona fide intention of America to prevent her citizens from trading with France, and the powers acting under her decrees, is to be considered as being at liberty to capture all such American vessels as may be found attempting to trade with the ports of any of those powers: without which [interdict] the raising it nominally with respect to G. Britain alone would, in fact, raise it with respect to all the world.
On these conditions (the 1st and 2d suggested by persons [now] in the American Government,) his majesty would consent to withdraw the orders of Jan. and Nov. 1807, so far as respects America—and, for this purpose, Mr. Erskine was authorised to communicate his despatch in extenso, to the American Secretary of State.
And, on the receipt of an official note, engaging to adopt the three conditions aforesaid, his majesty would be ready to repeal the orders in council—either previous or subsequent to the conclusion of a Treaty for that purpose—for which a person would be immediately appointed to negotiate.
This I think is nearly the substance of the note (Instructions.)
In our paper of this day will be found a copy of the instructions produced by Mr. Canning in the British parliament, as the basis on which the late arrangement was entered into by Mr. Erskine.
It appears to us extremely improbable that these were the only instructions on which Mr. Erskine proceeded in the negotiation at this place, and for these reasons: Mr. Erskine, in his first letter, as a preliminary to any overture for the renewal of intercourse, offered what was deemed adequate satisfaction for the affair of the Chesapeake. Where, in these instructions, is any instruction relative to the affair of the Chesapeake? It is not even mentioned: & the presumption is, that there was a previous communication, the confidential nature of which possibly prevented its publication. Indeed, in the instructions published, "a former despatch" is mentioned, the contents of which, however, are not designated.
Again—these instructions require a formal recognition by the United States of three conditions, to one at least of which the government of the United States could never accede. It may well be doubted whether Mr. Erskine would so far have deviated from positive instructions, as to make an arrangement without the recognition of any one of them. Mr. Oakely, the bearer of the despatches which were the basis of the arrangement made in this city, arrived in the Rosamond on the third of April, which vessel brought London dates to the 9th of February. The instructions published are dated the twenty-third of January, at least sixteen days prior to the departure of Mr. Oakely from London; and in this no mention is made of Mr. Oakely, who was selected as the bearer. It seems to be a rational deduction, that Mr. Oakely was selected as the bearer of instructions of a subsequent date, also possibly of a confidential nature, and therefore not published.
About the time that Mr. Oakely failed, also, the ministerial prints, conveyed the idea that the British ministry confidently expected an amicable adjustment of all differences with America. Did they expect it from the instructions now published? Did they expect it from the requisition of humiliating conditions from us, in consequence of which they would do us the favor to tax us no longer? The idea is absurd.
In short, it is evident that these were not the only instructions given to Mr. Erskine, although they might have composed that part of them which it has been deemed politic to make public.
WASHINGTON CITY, July 31.
The following extracts of letters received in this city, from a respectable source, will serve as an explanation of the news in this day's paper, from Bordeaux:—
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Bordeaux, dated June 16th, 1809.
"Yesterday the commissary of marine for this port, greatly alarmed us by making a very injudicious communication to the chamber of commerce of the city, on the subject of American affairs. It appears that the minister of marine instructed the commissary to inform the chamber of commerce of Bordeaux, of the late act of congress interdicting trade with France and England; at the same time recommending to them to suspend for the present, all operations with the United States. In conforming to the orders of his superior, the commissary thought proper to annex comments of his own, of a very alarming nature, which were immediately communicated to the merchants on the Exchange, and as the whole wore an official form, an immediate rupture between the two countries was considered as inevitable. The commissary, finding he had gone too far, sent for
one of the members of the chamber, through whose influence he prevailed on that body to return his letter, promising to write another more consonant to the minister's views. Thinking it highly probable some of the American merchants may have communicated this alarm to the United States by this ship, I have thought it my duty to state to you, fir, these facts, that in such case, its bad effects may be counteracted."
Extract of another letter from the same gentleman, dated Bordeaux, June 17, 1809.
"The ship Hope having been detained a day longer on account of some Merinos seized on board, gives me an opportunity of stating to you, that upwards of a dozen letters from Paris by the mail of to-day, mention, that his imperial and royal majesty has revoked his decrees in favor of Holland, by opening the ports of that country to neutrals.—I am induced to give some credit to this news, from the sensible effect it has had on the price of colonial produce."
NEW-YORK, July 27.
Last evening arrived at this port, the ship Hope, capt. Humphreys, 35 days from Bordeaux. The Hope has brought upwards of 50 passengers, and failed by special permission. Capt. H. has furnished the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with Paris papers to the 9th of June inclusive, but on a daily perusal, we do not find that they contain anything new.
We learn from the captain and passengers, that the dispatch ship Mentor, capt. Ward, remained at L'Orient, waiting the orders of Gen. Armstrong, our minister at Paris; and that the United States' brig Syren was immediately to be despatched from L'Orient to England.—That no account of any new battle between the Emperor Bonaparte and the Arch Duke Charles had reached Bordeaux, that the affairs between America and France, remained in statu quo.
In addition to the above, a passenger in the Hope, has favored us with the following extract of a letter, dated the 15th of June, from Bordeaux, which was sent to him just as the Hope was leaving the Cordovan.
"The Commissary of Marine, at Rochefort, has just written to the Maritime Prefect at Bordeaux, not to grant any more clearances to American vessels, as they had just heard that the commercial intercourse between America and France had been suspended by a law of the American Congress on the 20th day of May last."
The Hope failed from the Cordovan on the 20th of June.
To Charles Humphreys, Esq.
YOU have taken the liberty of affailing my character. You have asserted in presence of gentlemen in this town, that I had generously and ungratefully hired hands out of your service; hands, in whom you had an undoubted preference. These reports have for some time reproached me with unfavorable aspect in the opinion of some: But knowing that those gentlemen whom I hired the hands, were equally implicated with myself, and that your assertions could but defeat themselves in the eye of a penetrating public, together with a strong reluctance to altercation; and more particularly with a man in whom I once enjoyed friendly intercourse, was willing to bear much for the sake of peace. But from your very recent, frequent, and wanton attacks of the kind, I feel compelled to step forward in my defence, and give the world a fair and simple statement of facts.
You and myself hired those hands in partnership. I have paid an equal part of their hire, as a reference to our books will show. For what cause then do you claim a preference over me in a subsequent hire?—I cannot conceive. Is it because (knowing my then confidence) you drew a cunning and indefinite article between us, such as you could dissolve at will? Is it because you called the books before you, and after perusing them desired me to charge the greatest part of the best debts to your account, telling me that you could collect them with more ease than I could, (this being done) you dissolved the partnership?—By these means artfully and cunningly throwing all the bad debts upon my shoulders—in blacksmith's phrase, the very fag end of the bar—Do you claim a preference because you turn over all those to whom the firm owes debts to me for payment? Is it because you told me (for excuse to dissolve the partnership) that you would attend to the Smith's Shop yourself, and evinced the fallacy of your injudicious tongue by the almost immediate engagement of another partner? Or is it because you schooled an apprentice, bound to yourself alone, for a term not yet ended, and did with an unequipoised hand, erase an entry in our books, charging you for the hire of the hand who supplied his place in time of going to school? If the world call this plain, honest dealing among men, God forbid any further commerce with it—If so, I should in the creation of animals lament that it were my lot to be man.

Died, on Sunday the 30th ult. Maj. Thomas Love, of Frankfort. On Thursday night last, Mr. Jacob Erwin of this town.
A very numerous meeting of the Citizens of Fayette county and the town of Lexington, was held at the Market-house on Wednesday last, for the purpose of expressing their sentiments on the late conduct of the British government, in refusing to approve of the arrangements entered into by their Minister with the Executive of the United States, in April last. Henry Payne Esq. was requested to take the chair. After some nervous and appropriate remarks from Messrs. Clay, Barry and Grayson, the following energetic resolutions were UNANIMOUSLY adopted:—(Reporter.)
Resolved , That the refusal of the British government to approve and fulfil the arrangement made by their minister, with the executive of the United States, preparatory to the adjustment of the differences between the two countries, upon the ground of its being unauthorized, is dishonorable, treacherous, and infamous.
Resolved , That to hold any longer diplomatic or commercial intercourse with a nation, thus resorting to disgraceful pretexts for evading solemn national contracts, would be derogatory to the American character.
Resolved , That whilst we disclaim the pretension of prescribing to our government the course which ought to be pursued, under existing circumstances, we do not hesitate to avow our opinion that the person announced as the successor of Mr. Erskine, or any other resident minister from G. Britain, ought not to be received.
Resolved , That we will, at all hazards and sacrifices, afford to our government our most cordial & energetic support in the maintenance of the honor and dignity, and neutral and national rights of our country.
The heads of departments are ordered to be convened at the city of Washington, at which place Mr. Erskine has arrived.
Accounts from the head quarters of our army, 12 miles below Orleans, to the 8th July, represent the troops to be in an unhealthy state, principally from dysentery. Few deaths had taken place.
The British orders in council never having been revoked, the non-intercourse law has never ceased to be in force.
A Seville paper of the 29th May, states that South has been completely defeated and taken prisoner—that king Joseph has left Madrid, and fled to the Monastery of Labrador, after stripping the city of all its valuables—That Romana has beaten a division of Ney's army, and taken Ferrol—Coruna alone remains in possession of the French.
The Baltimore papers mention a report of the Yellow Fever being at Philadelphia, and Brooklyn opposite New-York. A letter from Philadelphia to a gentleman in this town says, "The city is very healthy—Some rumour of the fever spread last week without much foundation."

The London Gazette of Saturday, the 3d of June last, contains three orders in council. The first relates to the trade between Holland and the U. States, and directs that the island of WALCHERN, or any port or place south of it, is not to be accessible to American vessels. The second order in council declares that the trade to and from Heligoland, shall be confined to British vessels, except in cases where his majesty may be pleased, by his special licence, otherwise to permit. The third takes off quarantine on vessels coming from Stockholm and Carlskrona.—These regulations have lately been made in the spirit of British magnanimity and modern justice.
Mr. Erskine, we are informed by letter, has left Philadelphia for Washington. We are authorized to say, that he has expressed himself in strong terms against the conduct of his government, and had taken leave of his wife's relations in that city, after having convinced them that he had NOT exceeded his OFFICIAL instructions.

Copenhagen. This word, though formerly a noun substantive, has of late been frequently used as a verb active. The practical conjugation of this verb in the past tense, by professor Jackson, has made some noise in the world. He is now coming to this country, and it is a question, whether he intends to conjugate it in the future or not, and whether he ought not to be taught how to conjugate practically, the verb to march?
Capt. Devereaux, of the schr Jefferson, of and from this port, came passenger in the Syren. His vessel was captured in the Mono passage, by two French 74s, on her voyage to Maracaibo. The French after plundering her of her most valuable and portable articles, took her crew on board, and then BURNT the schooner. Capt. Devereaux and crew were treated on board the Frenchman with the greatest rigor and indignity. On their arrival at Cherbourg, the crew were imprisoned: but capt. D. through the interference of Mr. Barnett, the American consul, obtained a passport to L'Orient. Some subsequent assistance, which he received from Mr. Armstrong, enabled him to procure a passage in the Syren. He was robbed of every article he owned, even to his wearing apparel. It is due to truth and candour to state that Mr. Armstrong, with great promptitude, answered capt. D's application for assistance.
A British Convoy from Lisbon arrived at Cadiz the 5th of June, to take on board 30,000 sheep, a present from the Spanish Junta to the king of England.
The following we received from a passenger in the Syren, who assures us that this lift was handed about in private circles in France, and was believed to be correct.

LAZARETTO, July 29. Last evening arrived brig Perley of Bermuda; John Ingham, 18 days from Port Royal, (Jamaica) Cargo, coffee and fruit.
Capt. I. confirms the information received a few days since, that three American vessels have lately been captured by British cruizers and taken into Jamaica, for, as it is said, attempting to trade to St. Domingo. Capt. I. also informs, that 3000 British troops had effected a landing at St. Domingo, for the purpose of taking possession of that Island.
(Democratic Press.) We understand that one of Mr. Gray's vessels is prepared to take out Mr. Adams and his family to Russia. A son of colonel Smith's of New-York, (grandson to president Adams) goes as private secretary; and a son of Mr. Gray accompanies Mr. Adams. Capt. Benjamin Bickford, of Beverly, commands the ship.—Democratic Press.
All the important intelligence contained in the French papers we have received, has been anticipated. The following articles seem, however, not to have been noticed before:
From the Banks of the Danube, June 1. A letter from Vienna mentions that their excellencies counts Champagne and Maret are now with the emperor; the former puts up at the castle of Vienna. The Austrian Prohaska, Auer and Koelbl were conveyed on the 30th May to Munich, with 54 other Austrian prisoners of war.
Frankfort, June 5. —His majesty the king of Westphalia has left Cassel to take command of the French army, which, it is expected, has arrived at Erfurth.
Salzburg, May 25. —marshal duke of Dantzig arrived here on the 25th from Innsbruck. Lieut gen. baron de Wrede arrived the next day with his division. In consequence of the insurrection in the Tyrol having been quelled, he is marching to Austria, where the division of the prince royal has already preceded him.
St. Gall, (Switzerland) May 28. —His excellency the minister of France, M. D. Tallyrand, departed from hence the day before yesterday for Coire. His excellency intends going again to Scaffhausen, and at last to the opening of the Diet.
Paris, June 10. —The commander of an English frigate on the 15th May, summoned the commandant of Rovi (kingdom of Naples) to deliver him the merchant vessels (barques) which he pretended were in the road, or 8000 dollars in specie. Upon the refusal of the commandant and magistrates, the enemy's frigate began a cannonade, and landed some troops, which were immediately repulsed; but the town has suffered much. The barques have been saved.
St. Petersburg, May 23. It is already understood that our troops have already received orders to enter the provinces of the Austrian monarchy; yet up to this day no formal declaration of war has appeared. The Prince of Schwartzemberg is still here.
HELIGOLAND, May 30. The Vienna posts of the 20 and 22 inst. which became due last night, had not arrived at 9 o'clock, P. M. which gives room for a variety of conjectures, particularly as it is well known that the French were at Vienna on the 17th. Some say the posts arrived this morning, but were detained by the French post office; others, that private letters from Berlin state, that the French were expelled from Vienna in consequence of several bloody engagements, which lasted three days. The archduke Charles's army had been reinforced by the Hungarian insurrection by the corps of field marshals Muller, Kemmeyer, and Bellegarde, with a numerous body of cavalry from Bohemia.—The latter, with the Hungarian horses, are said to have already decided the victory in favour of the Austrian.
arms. Some days ago 6000 French were made prisoners; but the number in killed, wounded and prisoners, is said to exceed six times the above amount.
We do not hear of any further progress of the Russian army; and a change of politics in that cabinet is speedily expected.
NEW-YORK, July 27.
The American Messenger returned from France. —The United States brig Syren, arrived at the quarantine ground this forenoon from L'Orient, which place she left on the 19th of June, with Mr. Coles, bearer of dispatches for our government from Mr. Armstrong at Paris. He was landed by the brig's barge at Powles-Hook, (N. J.) about 12 o'clock, and immediately proceeded on for the seat of government.
N. Y. Ev. Post.
MORAVIA, May 24.
The report of a most severe battle, which lasted two days, is confirmed by farther accounts. It was fought on the 21st and 22d near Entzeldorf, between the villages of Alpern and Eisingen, the latter of which belongs to the family of Count Zenkai, which is situated about a league and a half to the South East of Vienna.

OLYMPIAN SPRINGS,
AUGUST, 1809. To health reitord, the mule enraptur'd sings: Mid thy sweet haunts and ever-blooming delis: Where Health's fair goddess in her glory dwells, How oft return'd to wanted health reitord! Ye smiling vales, ye mountain's forest crown'd With whisp'ring pines, & laurels blooming round; Ye bubbling bow'rs, ambrosial sweats that breathe, Had keen eye'd Science e'er, with wonder, trac'd From your bright fountains up the steeps that rise, Wave over wave, where Olla props the skies, What secret caverns had unlock'd their stores, And bled'st the fate with star-bevngled ores! What precious herbs to plean virgins dear Had thou then Linnæus, this new world survey'd, Each cave, each rock, each vary'd shaded glade, Charm'd, had'st thou swell'd thy books of deathless fame With gems unnumber'd, now without a name. Here great Salvator, realiz'd might find Scenes as stupendous as his mighty mind; Here vitiòs bright, thro' forests deep and broad, Had lurr'd the magic pencil of a Claude; And matchless, self-taught Gainb'rough too Scenes like his own in Nature's self in ght view. Here, shall the mules fair, in future times, In bow'ry shades, attune their dulcid rhymes; And to the throngs, from farm to farm impurp Remembrance grateful of their founder, Hart; Small La L's name, in fongs of joy, refound; Whose garden scenes, and unexampled toil Nuis garden scenes, amidst rude barrens, smil'd; Nature's wild waste, with tender hand improv'd, Greens the bare slopes, and plants acacia groves. A level lawn around his mansions spreads, And each light foot on clover'd carpets treads; How chang'd the scene! so late a bramby waste As drops from Nature in her careless haste. Shorn of those boons her bounteous hand display'd Her summer's pride, a broad, cool breeze shade. Stretch'd on the ground by ruthless axes frown'd. The bare domes smok'd around each sultry noon, The wither'd thumpers yet flow on ground loom'd What charms unsearchable once their seats adorn'd From Health's bloom'd check the melting roses fled, Pale fickleness blew no place to rest his head; In vain the springs fair healing powers employ'd, And Nymphs Hygean round their fountains light'd, While long, alas too long, they ligg'd in vain, Ere Banks rebloom'd their widow'd feasts again; Plaints now remov'd, by vast expense regain; Soon shall the Nymphs away their forrows smile, And, Industry! if ought thy worth deserves While thy toil, the country round thee serves; In works to rare, shall taste her worth display, And shall the world no grateful tribute pay! No! heaven forbids, proclaims prophetic time! Here mid these springs and mountain feasts sublime Shall rosy Health, her standard wide unroll'd, Allure the sick, round all the western world; And, while the never-failing springs endure, The healthy, charm! the lame and sickly, cure."
Richard Marsh & Son,
MACHINE MAKERS, ORIGINALLY FROM GREAT BRITAIN.
CARRY on their business, at the corner of Spring and Main streets Lexington—where they will furnish at short notice, the most modern and improved MACHINES for Carding and Spinning Wool, Cotton, Hemp, Flax, and Tow—that may be worked by water, by horses or by hand; at such reduced prices, that it will be no longer the interest of any one to import articles of this kind.
The samples of machines that they have executed in this state evidence that they are masters of their profession; and they flatter themselves that their work will bear a comparison with the manufactory of Manchester.
They wish to take two or three apprentices to the business—and will give generous wages to a Journeyman Blacksmith.

PROSPECTUS,
FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, A NEW PAPER, TO BE ENTITLED
THE INDEPENDENT REPUBLICAN.
To be printed weekly at Chillicothe, the present seat of Government for the state of Ohio.
By PETER PARCELS.
To a liberal and discerning public, who are always ready to encourage an honest zeal for the general welfare...
The freedom of the Press is the sacred "Palladium of Liberty;" and to exercise this right, unmoved by favoritism, and unawed by the terrors of the great, is the duty of an independent editor.
In times like the present, when dangers without, and divisions within, pervade the country...
The horrid devastations on the eastern continent, will ever be a warning to the New World, and inculcate the maxim—"United we stand," in defiance of all enemies.
However incredible! That there should be lurking in the bosom of our country, a private junta of "Choice Spirits," who are secretly conspiring to revive the fallen hopes of their Leader...
Having long been concerned in the establishment of the Sciota Gazette, those who have known that paper, will entertain no doubt of my general political principles.
To those who may favor me with their patronage, I publicly avow, that my political principles are Republican, and that my constant effort shall be to support the constitution and liberties of my country.
The editor will at all times be thankful for the aid of moral, literary and political productions; but he will never condescend to become subservient to the private views of any man.
By conducting the paper upon these principles, the editor fondly flatters himself with the patronage of the honest politician, the agriculturist, mechanic, and the man of business.
TERMS OF PUBLICATION.
1. The Independent Republican, will be published weekly, on some convenient day, suitable to the arrival and departure of the different mails.
2. The price will be two dollars and fifty cents per annum, paid half yearly in advance, or two dollars in advance will be received as the amount of one year's subscription.
3. Advertisements not exceeding a square, will be inserted three times for one dollar, & every subsequent insertion twenty five cents—longer ones in proportion.
4. The editor will commence the publication of the above paper, on or before the middle of September next.

THE HARROGATE WATERS
ARE now in order for those who wish to make use of them. The proprietor has been induced to give the waters of his well this appellation, from their quality being that of the so much famed watering place in England (Harrogate). Those Ladies and gentlemen who have drunk of the waters of both places, have pronounced them of the same healing virtues. The road passing from Lexington to the Olympic Springs, going by Harrogate, is not more than half a mile round. Also from Danville to Winchester, or Olympic Springs, it is the most direct course. The subscriber is always well provided for the accommodation of Travellers, and those who please to call on him. John M'Call. 11 miles East of Lexington, June 11th, 1809.

Patent Hemp & Flax breaking Machine.
THE subscribers have purchased the right for the state of Kentucky of Thomas Coboon'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.
On the other 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 Boswell, David Sutton, John Fisher, Geo. Laws.
HAVING been called upon to state our opinion 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. T. T. Barr, Wm. W. Worsley, C. Cole, Bushro. Boswell, Robert R. Barr. Lexington, April 8th, 1809.
