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. The situation of this property, on the public square, directly opposite the North East front of the court house, and in the centre of business, gives it peculiar advantages. Great expense has been incurred in repairs and improvements, and in point of space, convenience and comfort the apartments of the house are surpassed by none.

Patent Hemp-Spinning Machine. THE patentee has now in operation at his residence in Flemingsburg, Ky. one of his lately invented machines for spinning hemp and flax; from which he is enabled, from experienced, to say, that four boys or girls of twelve years of age, can and do spin sufficient warp and filling for fifty yards of cotton baling, of forty inches wide, per day, with ease. On the subject of dispatch, he thinks it sufficient to observe that on his machinery the stuff can be spun as fast as the spinner can possibly pull it out. Among the comparative advantages of his system are the following, viz: 1st. The immense saving of manual labour by the substitution of machinery. 2d. Dispatch. 3d. The thread is abundantly more even and durable than that manufactured in the long factories. 4th. Economy. A complete system with four spindles can be put in operation at an expense of from forty to fifty dollars, and worked in a room 14 by 16 feet, and is perfectly susceptible of extension to any number of spindles, to be worked by water or horses, at much less than a proportionate increase of expense and room. 5th. His system on a small scale, could be advantageously used in private families, for domestic purposes, and particularly in the manufacture of clothings for their slaves. 6th. In his system the tow of both the hemp and flax is easily spun into suitable filling for cotton baling, (at though not so speedily as hemp.) 7th. The aged, decrepit and young, who can sit up and have the use of their hands, can be advantageously employed in this system, while the more hardy, healthy and athletic, may be usefully employed in more laborious branches of husbandry and manufacture. The patentee hopes that his system, uniting the advantages enumerated above, will be resorted to by those who are about to vest their capital & force in manufacturing the materials for which it is so eminently calculated. The price of permission to use his system will be five dollars per small wheel or spindle, but the patentee would prefer selling the right to states or counties. N. Foster . August 25, 1809.
IT is hoped that such editors of newspapers throughout the United States as are disposed to promote domestic manufactures, will give the above a few insertions in their respective papers. N. Foster .

A FRESH SUPPLY OF LEE AND SON'S PATENT & FAMILY MEDICINES, RECEIVED AND FOR SALE BY SCOTT, TROTTER & CO. LEXINGTON.
Lee's Worm-Destroying Lozenges. This medicine is 'superior to any ever offered to the public, being innocent and mild, certain and efficacious in its operations. Should no worms exist in the body, it will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. For the present state of bilious and malignant fevers recommended.
Lee's Bilious Pills , Prepared by Richard Lee & Son, Baltimore. Persons wishing to purchase this valuable medicine, are requested to be particular in enquiring for LEE'S anti-bilious pills, put up in wooden boxes, having on the outside wrapper, the signature of Richard Lee and Son—this is necessary, as there are pills of the same name. The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite—produce a fresh peristalsis, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequence—a dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—sickness at the stomach, and severe headache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate. They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preferred for use by every seaman.
Lee's Elixir , A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Catarrhs, asthma, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumption. To parents who may have Children afflicted with the Whooping-Cough—This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time, entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
Lee's Genuine Essence and Extract of Mustard. A safe and effectual remedy for acute and chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Palsy, Lumbago, Numbness, White-Swelling, Chilblains and Sprains, Bruises, Pains in the Face and Neck, &c.
Lee's Grand Restorative proves by long experience to be unequalled in the cure of Nervous Disorders, Consumption, Lowness of Spirits, Inward Weakness, &c. Twenty thousand cures have been performed by Lee's Sovereign Ointment for the Itch which is warranted an infallible remedy by one application, without mercury or any other pernicious ingredients, being entirely a vegetable preparation.
Ague and Fever Drops , for the cure of Agues, Remittent and Intermitent Fever.
Persian Lotion , celebrated for the cure of Ringworms, Tettars, and all Eruptions of the Skin, rendering it soft and smooth.

Damask Lip Salve .
Restorative Powder , for the Teeth and Gums.

WITH the Medicine is given a Bill of Directions, and on the outside wrapper, the signature of "H. Lee and Son," if particular attention is not paid to the signature, it is probable that disappointment will be the consequence.
Broke out of pasture in Woodford county , a brown horse, 3 years old and about 14 hands high, a little white in his forehead, mane and tail black, with a black mark along the back bone, he is troublesome to mares; whoever will bring him to me in Lexington, shall be paid for his trouble and charges.

July the first—at Night. STOLEN from the subscriber a brown HORSE, about seven or eight years old, about fourteen and a half hands high, heavy made to his height, both his hind feet white from his hoof about half way up his legs, a small white speck in his forehead, is docked but not branded, trots natural and works well, has what is called a Roman nose, and when he walks along he motions his head up and down as if he was drawing a heavy draught. I believe he was taken by Harrodsburg; he was seen going by there with a man riding him on the fourth day of July, without saddle or bridle, with a rope halter only. It is supposed that a man from Natchez took him, and was intending to stop in force of the upper counties of Kentucky, or in Ohio state, or perhaps went on to Wheeling or Redstone. Any person finding out where said horse is, and will give notice to the owner, so that he can get him, shall be entitled to a reward of ten dollars, from the subscriber, living in Barren county, on the road leading from Lexington to Nashville, between Prewitt's Knob and the Dripping Spring.

From the National Intelligencer, of September 14. By last night's mail we have received the following bulletin, containing an official account of the last battle on the Danube, translated for the North American, from the Hamburg Correspondent, of the 21st of July.
MUNICH, July 12. TWENTY-FIFTH BULLETIN OF THE ARMY. Wolkersdorff, 8th July. Passage of the army of the Danube to the island of Lobau.
On the 4th, at ten in the evening, general Oudinot embarked 1500 of gen. Groux's voltigeurs on the Great arm of the Danube. Col. Balle with ten gun-boats carried them out and landed them beyond the confluence of the lesser arm of the island of Lobau in the Danube. The batteries of the enemy were soon silenced, and he was pursued from the wood to the village of Mühlet.
At 11 o'clock in the evening the batteries planted against Ebersdorff received orders to begin to fire. The howitzers reduced this unfortunate small city to ashes, and in less than half an hour the enemy's batteries were silenced.
At 2 o'clock after midnight, the army had (the figure is illegible) bridges, and the left wing debouched, under the protection of the batteries 1500 todes below Ebersdorff, and the right at Wittau. The corps of the duke of Rivoli (Massena) composed the right wing, that of Oudinot the centre, and Auerstadt's (Devou) the left wing. The corps of the duke of Ponte Corvo (Bernadotte) of the Vice Roy, and of Ragusa (Marmont) the guards and the cuirassiers, composed the 2d line and the reserve. The great darkness, a heavy storm and a rain which poured in streams rendered this night as dreadful, as it was favorable to the French army, and glorious as it was to eventuate.
On the 5th at the earliest dawn, every man perceived the emperor's plan, who was now with his army in order of battle at the furthest extremity of the enemy's left wing, had turned all his intrenchments, rendered all his works useless, and had compelled the Austrians to move out of their posts, and to give him battle upon ground which was advantageous. This great problem was accomplished, and without passing the Danube any where else, without even any support from the works, the enemy was obliged to fight three-quarters of a league from his re-entrant. Now was anticipated the greatest and most happy result.
At 8 in the morning, the batteries which played upon Ebersdorff, had produced such an effect that the enemy was fain to take possession of it with four battalions. The duke of Rivoli ordered his first aid-de-camp St. Croix to march against it, of which he possessed himself without much opposition, and captured every thing in it.
Count Oudinot surrounded the fortress of Sachsentgang, which the enemy had garrisoned compelled 900 men who garrisoned it to surrender, and took 12 pieces of cannon. Now the emperor ordered the whole of his army to display upon the immense plain of Ebersdorff.
Meanwhile the enemy, who had committed an error in his plans, recovered from his astonishment, and endeavored to command some advantages on the new field of battle. For this purpose he detached many columns of infantry, a great number of artillery, and all his cavalry, as well of the line as new levies, in order, if possible, to flank the right wing of the French army for which purpose he took possession of the village of Rutzendorf. The emperor ordered Count Oudinot to take this village, and ordered the duke of Auerstadt to pass on the right of it, and direct himself against the headquarters of the Archduke Charles as he was continuing to march from the right to the left.
From noon till 9 o'clock in the evening we maneuvered in this vast plain. We took all the villages, and as we approached the heights of their entrenched posts, they retired from them as though through magic. The Duke of Rivoli caused them to be taken possession of without opposition. In this manner we got into our power the works of Essling and Gros-Apern and thus the forty days work of the enemy was rendered totally useless to him. At Raschdorf, with the duke of Ponte Corvo could not be attacked and taken, he met with some opposition. The enemy was everywhere put to flight and annihilated by the superiority of our fire. The immense field of battle remained covered with his fragments.
BATTLE OF WAGRAM.
Greatly dismayed by the progress of the French army, and its great results occasioned almost without an effort, the enemy ordered all his troops to march, and in the evening took the following position: his right wing extended from Stadlau to Gensdorf, his centre from Gensdorf to Wagram, and his left wing from Wagram to Neustadel. The left wing of the French army was at Gros-Apern, its centre at Rutzendorf, and its right at Gensdorf. In this order night came on, and we prepared for a great battle the next morning. The position of the enemy was reconnoitred throughout in order to hinder him from adopting any system, after we should take possession of the village of Wagram in the night. Wagram was attacked; our troops took the village: out a Saxon column and a French column in the dark took each other for enemies, and the operation miscarried.
Already we were preparing for the battle of Wagram. It appears that the dispositions of the French and Austrian generals were opposed to each other.
The emperor employed the whole night to draw together his force into the centre, where he was personally within cannon shot of Wagram. For this purpose the duke of Rivoli marched to the left of Adunklau, and left a single division at Aspern, which had orders to retreat to the island of Lobau. The duke of Auerstadt had orders to advance beyond the village of Gensdorf, in order to approach the centre. The Austrian general in the mean time weakened his centre in order to occupy and strengthen his wings, to which he gave an additional extent.
On the 6th at day break, the duke of Ponte Corvo occupied the left wing. In his second
line was the duke of Rivoli. The vice king closed in the centre, where the corps of count Oudinot, that of the duke of Ragusa, the corps of the Imperial Guard, and the division of cuirassiers formed seven or eight lines. The duke of Auerstadt marched from the right to reach the centre. The enemy on the other hand placed the corps of Bellegarde at Radlau in march; the corps of Kollin, Lichtenstein and Muller united with the right wing in the position of Wagram, where the prince of Hohenzollern was, and at the end of the left wing at Neustadel, where the corps of Rosenberg and Auerberg debouched, and by a curved movement at the early dawn, fell upon each other and gave the signal for battle.
The emperor also commenced at this period, ordering the duke of Auerstadt to be reinforced by the division of cuirassiers of the duke of Padua, and the corps of Rosenberg to be taken in flank by a battery of twelve pieces of the division of gen. count Nan-zouy. In less than three quarters of an hour the fine corps of Auerstadt defeated the corps of Rosenberg, and pursued it beyond Neustadel, and did it great injury.
Meanwhile the cannonade became general through the whole line, and the disposition of the enemy displayed itself every moment. His whole left wing was lined with artillery. It might be said that the Austrian general prepared not to obtain a victory, but that he had in view only themselves of taking advantage of it. This disposition seemed so unskillful, that a defeat was anticipated, and the emperor waited some time before he ordered the small disposition which was necessary to frustrate that of the enemy, and to render it a misfortune to him.
He ordered the duke of Rivoli to attack a village which the enemy occupied, and by which the centre of the army was a little galled. He ordered the duke of Auerstadt to take the position of Neustadel, and thence to advance to Wagram, and ordered the duke of Ragusa and gen. Macdonald to form in columns to seize upon Wagram the moment the duke of Auerstadt debouched.
After these occurrences, we were informed that the enemy made a desperate assault upon the village which the duke of Rivoli had taken; our left wing was surrounded at 3000 toises; a violent cannonade was already heard at Gros-Apern, and the whole interval between Gros-Apern and Wagram, was occupied by an immense line of artillery. No doubt was left about it.
The emperor in this situation ordered General Macdonald to form the divisions of Bussier and Damargue into columns for the attack. He ordered them to be supported by the divisions of gen. Nan-zouy, the horse guards and forty detachments of different corps. Gen. count Lauriston marched at the head of this battery of 100 pieces of artillery against the enemy, approached him without firing, till he came within cannon shot, and then commenced an astonishing fire, whereby slaughter and death were carried into the enemy's ranks. The general of division, Reille, supported with the brigade of fuiliers and tailluers the guard of general Macdonald. The guard altered its front to render the attack infallible. In a moment
the centre of the enemy left a league of ground. His astonished wing marked the danger of the situation in which it was, and in great haste moved back. Now the duke of Rivoli attacked him during the flight of the centre, and the movement forced the right wing. Neustadel was taken from his left wing, by the duke of Auerstadt, who ascended the hill, and marched against Wagram, attacked and surrounded it. The divisions of Brouillier and Gubin covered themselves with glory.
It was now ten o'clock in the morning, and intelligent men saw that the day was decided, and that victory was on our side.
At noon, count Oudinot marched against Wagram, to support the attack of the duke of Auerstadt. He succeeded, and he got possession of this important station. From ten o'clock, the enemy thought of nothing but his retreat. Since noon, this was plainly going on, and in disorder, and long before night came on, the enemy was out of reach. Our left wing stood at Jetelsée and at Ebersdorff, our centre near Ebersdorff, and the cavalry of our right wing was extended, their posts at Schoenkirchen.
On the 7th, at day break, the army was in motion, and marched against Kornernberg and Wolkersdorff, and took post at Nussberg. The enemy, cut off from Hungary and Mähren, found itself on the side of Bohemia, driven into a strait.
Such is the representation of the battle of Wagram, the distinguished and ever glorious battle, where from 3 to 400,000 men with from 12 to 1500 cannon, fought for a great interest, on a field which by the enemy was studied and fortified for several months. Ten standards, 40 cannon, 20,000 prisoners, among whom are from 3 to 400 officers, and among whom are a considerable number of generals colonels, and majors, are the trophies of this victory. The fields of battle are covered with dead bodies, among whom were found the bodies of several generals, and among the rest that of Mr. Norman, a Frenchman and traitor to his country, who prostituted his talents against it. All the wounded of the enemy have fallen into our hands. Those whom he was able to carry off at the beginning of the battle, were found in the environs of the villages. We may compute that the result of this battle cost the Austrian army in all about 60,000 men; our losses is estimated at 1500 dead and 3 or 4000 wounded.
At the moment when the duke of Itria was ordering the attack of the cavalry, his horse was killed by a cannon ball. The shot struck the saddle and occasioned him a slight contusion of the thigh.
The general of division Lefalle was killed by a musket ball. He was an officer of great merit and one of the best generals of light horse.
The Bavarian gen. Von Wrede and the gens. Peras, Grenier, Vignolle, Sahuc and Defrance were wounded. Col. Prince Aldobrandini was struck on the arm by a musket ball. The majors of Chasseurs of the guard Daulmenil and Cobineau, and Col. St. Croix were also wounded. The adjutant commandant, Duprat, was killed. The col. of the 9th regiment of infantry of the line remained on the field of battle. This regiment covered itself with glory.
The general staff is making out a statement of our losses.
A singular circumstance in this great battle is, that the columns which lay next to Vienna, were not 200 toises distant from it. The numerous population covered the towers, roofs and heights, to witness this great spectacle.
The emperor of Austria quitted Wolkersdorff on the 6th at 5 in the morning, and ascended at Belvedere, whence he saw the field of battle, and remained till noon, when he
scampered away at full speed.
The French head quarters arrived on the 7th in the morning at Wolkersdorff.
[In the beginning of the bulletin remarks are made of the positions of the armies—The Austrians were in all staked at 200,000 men, and their artillery from 8 to 900 field pieces.—Note of the German editor.]

OFFICIAL.
Supplement to the London Gazette, July 11. An account of the battle fought near Aspern, on the Marchfield, on the 21st and 22d of May, 1809, between the Archduke Charles of Austria, Generalissimo of the Imperial Austrian armies, and the Emperor Napoleon, Commander in Chief of the French and allied armies.
The emperor Napoleon having, after some sanguinary engagements near Abendburg, Hausen and Dözlizen, in which the fortune of war favored the Austrians, so as to force the French garrison at Raab to retreat, succeeded in cutting off the left wing of the Austrian army, and driving it back to Landshut, and afterwards in advancing by Eckmühl with a superior body of cavalry, taking the road of Eglofsheim, and forcing to retreat those Austrian corps that were posted on the heights of Leitenberg and Talin-sing, the archduke on the 22d of April crossed the Danube, near Raab, and joined the corps of Bellegarde who had opened the campaign by several successful affairs in the Upper Palatinate, had reached Amberg, Neumarkt, and Heman, and had by this time approached Stude-ham Hof, in order to execute his immediate junction with the Archduke.
The emperor Napoleon ordered the bombardment of Raab, occupied by a few battalions who were to cover the passage of the Danube. On the 23d, in the evening, he became master of it, and immediately hastened along the right bank of the Danube to enter the Austrian lines in order, as he openly declared, to dictate peace at Vienna.
The Austrian army had taken a position near Cham, behind the river Regen, which was watched by some of the enemy's divisions, while the emperor Napoleon called all the disposable forces, in forced marches, from the North of Germany to the Danube, a considerably reinforced his army, with the troops of Wirtemberg, Hesse, Baden, and some time after with those of Saxony.
Near Kirn and Nittenau some affairs had happened between the out posts, which, however, had no influence upon the armies.
However early it would have been for the archduke to continue his offensive operations on the left bank of the Danube, without any material resistance, and however gratifying it might have been to relieve provinces which were groaning beneath the pressure of foreign dominion, the preservation of his native land did not permit him to suffer the enemy to riot with impunity in the centre of the monarchy, to give up the rich sources of its independence, and expose the welfare of the subject to the devastations of foreign conquerors.
These motives induced the archduke to conduct his army to Bohemia, by way of Klettenbach and Neumarkt, to occupy the Bohemian Forest with light troops and part of his militia, and to direct his march towards Budweis, where he arrived on the 3d of May, hoping to join near Linz, his left wing, which had been separated from him, and which was under the command of lieut. gen. baron Hiller.
But the latter had been so closely pressed by
the united force of the French armies, that, after several spirited engagements, and even after a brilliant affair, in which the troops achieved all that was possible against the disproportionate superiority of the enemy, he indeed was able to reach Linz, but was in capable of crossing the Danube, and obliged to content himself with destroying the communication with the left bank, and taking up a position behind the Trun, near Ebersberg. This was the occasion of an extremely murderous engagement, during which 4000 men—Ebersberg was set on fire, and lieut. gen. Hiller continued his retreat, till he got to much the start as to pass the Danube near Stain, without being disturbed by the enemy, and to wait the approach of the archduke, who after having in vain attempted the junction of the army near Linz, had marched from Budweis to Zwettl, still hoping by a quick passage of the Danube to arrest the enemy's progress towards the metropolis.
Meanwhile a corps of Wirtembergers had advanced from Passau along both the shores of the Danube, had occupied Linz, and the bank opposite to it; had repaired the bridge, and signalized itself by destroying the defenceless villages and castles which could not be protected by the small advanced guard proceeding by the side of the main army.
The enemy by marching through the valley of the Danube, in the straitest line, had got so much ahead that all hopes of coming up with him in front of Vienna vanished; still, however, if that city had been able to hold out for 5 days, it might have been relieved, and the archduke resolved on venturing the utmost to rescue that good city, which, by the excellent disposition of its citizens, the faithful attachment to its sovereign and its noble devotion, has raised to itself an eternal monument in the annals of Austria.
All his plans were now directed towards gaining the bridges across the Danube, near Vienna, and endeavouring to save the imperial residence, by a combat under its walls.
Vienna, formerly an important fortress, was in vain besieged by the Turks, and would even now, from the solidity of its ramparts, the strong profiles of its works, and the extensive system of its mines, be capable of making a protracted resistance, had not, for upwards of a century back, the luxury of a large metropolis, the wants of ease, the corruption of all the magnates in the empire, and the pomp of a splendid court, totally effaced every consideration of military defence.
Palaces adorn the ramparts, the casemates and ditches were converted into workshops of tradesmen, plantations mark the cannon-scars of the fortress, and avenues of trees traverse the glacis, uniting the most beautiful suburbs in the world to the corps de la Place.
Although thus circumstanced, no obstinate resistance of the capital was expected, yet from the unexampled loyalty of the inhabitants, it was confidently hoped that Vienna might, for a few days serve as a tere de point to cover the passage of the river, whence all preparations amounted to no more than to secure the place from a coup-de-main; and for this reason the archduke had some time before directed field marshal Hiller, to lend part of his corps along the right bank towards the capital, in the event of the (the archduke's) passage to the left shore.
Field marshal Hiller now received orders to burn the bridge near Stain in his retreat, to leave a small corps of observation near Krems, to hasten by forced marches with the bulk of his army to the environs of Vienna, and as circumstances would permit, by occupying the small islands, to keep up the communication with the city, and the debouché across the bridges.
The army of the archduke now advanced without interruption, by Neumarkt, Braunau and Weikendorf, upon Stockerau, in order to overawe such enterprises as the enemy might project from the environs of Linz, part of the corps of the general of artillery, count Kellermann, which, till then had remained near Pilsen, with a view to secure the north and west frontier of Bohemia, was ordered to march to Budweis.
Napoleon had used so much expedition in his march to Vienna, that on the 9th of May his advanced troops appeared in the glacis of the fortress, whence they were driven by some cannon shot. From three to four thousand regular troops, as many armed citizens, and some battalions of country militia defended the city; ordnance of various calibre was placed upon the ramparts; the suburbs were abandoned on account of their great extent, and the numerous islands and low bushy ground behind the town, were occupied by some light troops of the corps of Hiller, as well as by the militia.
The corps itself was posted on what is termed "the Point," on the left shore of the river, waiting the arrival of the army, which was advancing in haste.
The occupation of Vienna formed too essential a part in the extensive plans of the French emperor; its conquest had been announced by him with too much confidence, and was of too great importance towards confirming the prejudice of his irresistible power, for him not to employ every method of taking it before the assistance which was so near could arrive.
For the space of 24 hours the howitzers played upon the town; and though several houses were set on fire, the courage of the inhabitants remained unshaken. But a general devastation threatened their valuable property, and when at length, the enemy, availing himself of the numerous craft which he found there, crossed the smaller branches of the Danube, dislodged the troops from the nearer islands, and menaced their communication with the left bank, the city was justly capitulated, while the troops remained under the great bridge of Tabor, which they afterwards set on fire.
The archduke received this intelligence in his head-quarters, between Hain and Mauer, and though it was scarcely to be expected that the city, surrounded as it was, should continue its resistance, the archduke proceeded on his march without interruption, flattering
himself that he might be able to execute his favourite project by a bold attempt to pass the Danube near Vienna.
This city capitulated on the 13th May, so that there was no further occasion to expose the army to hazard, by crossing the Danube, for which no sufficient preparation had been made, and which must have been effected in the face of the enemy, and under local circumstances of the greatest disadvantage.
By the surrender of Vienna, the army had almost lost a point of support on which to rest its military operations.
In this situation of affairs the archduke resolved to collect his army at the foot of the hill Bismberg, and allow it a few days of rest, which after so many forced marches, it urgently wanted. The cavalry for the convenience of water, was posted along the Riss, a rivulet, which is concealed by ground covered with bushes, and the advanced guard pushed forward to the Danube, in order to observe the movements of the enemy, and to prevent his passing the river, which he had already attempted to do, from Nussdorf to what is called the Black Lake, but with little success that a battalion of his advanced guard was taken. The chain of the outposts extended on the left side as far as the Marth and on the right to Krems; this place and Preßburg were occupied by some battalions; and the head-quarters of the archduke were on the 16th of May, at Ebersdorff, near the high road leading to Brunn.
On the 19th the outposts reported that the enemy had taken possession of the great island of Lobau, within about six English miles of Vienna; that his numbers increased there every hour, and that he seemed to be employed in throwing a bridge across the great arm of the Danube behind the island. From the top of the Bismberg, the whole of the opposite appeared to be enveloped in a cloud of dust, and the glitter of arms evinced a general movement of troops beyond Summering, towards Kaiser-Ebersdorff, whither, according to later accounts, the emperor Napoleon had removed his head-quarters, and was by his presence, hastening and promoting the preparations for crossing the river.
On the following morning, at day break, the archduke resolved to reconnoitre the island, and employed for this purpose part of the advanced guard, under the command of the field marshal, lieut. col. count Klenau, supported by four regiments of cavalry.
The isle of Lobau forms a convenient place of arms, which is about six English miles long, and four and a half broad, and being separated by a large arm of the Danube from the right bank, nothing prevents the building of a bridge, which is concealed by ground covered with bushes; and the great extent of the island affords the advantage of sending troops and ordnance from so many points of it, that the passage across the smaller arm to the large plain of Tarchfield may be made good by force of arms.
It was soon perceived by the strength of the enemy's columns which advanced upon the island and placed their cannon so as to support the second passage, that he meditated a serious attack. The advanced guard sustained a tolerable warm engagement, and the cavalry routed the first division of the enemy, which debouched from the low grounds on the edge of the river, late in the evening; upon which the archduke, whose intention was not to prevent the passage of the enemy, but to attack him the following day, retreated with his cavalry to Anderklaa, and ordered the advanced troops to fall back to Maas, according as the enemy should extend himself.
On the 21st at day break, the archduke ordered his army under arms, and formed it in two lines on the rising ground behind Gerasdorf, and between the Bism hill and the rivulet Riss. The corps of lieut. gen. Hiller formed the right wing near Steinfeldorf; on its left was the corps of the gen. of cavalry count Bellegarde; and the next to that the corps of lieut. gen. prince Hohenzollern, in the alignment of Dötschen Wagram. The corps of prince Rosenberg was posted by battalions in column on the Rissbach, on the rivulet Riss, kept by Deutsch Wagram strongly occupied having for the security of the left wing, placed on the heights beyond that place, a division in reserve. The whole cavalry, which the day before had advanced under the command of prince Lichtenstein by Anderklaa, was called back into the line, filing, in two lines, the space intervening between the left wing of prince Hohenzollern and the right of prince Rosenberg.
The vast plain of Marchfeld spread like a carpet before the front of the line, and appeared by the absence of every obstruction, to be destined to form the theatre of this great event. The grenadiers remained in reserve near Seiering, and the corps of the gen. of artillery, prince Reuss, kept the Bism hill, and the low bushy ground along the Danube strongly occupied. Part of it was still left near Krems, the corps being almost broke up by having so many of its divisions detached to so considerable a distance.
At nine o'clock, the archduke ordered the arms to be piled, and the troops to dine. The piquet of observation on the Bism hill reported that the bridge across the Danube behind the isle of Lobau, being now quite finished, was plainly perceivable, and that troops were without interruption seen filing off over it, as well as filing in boats to the isle. The outposts likewise gave information of the gradual augmentation of the enemy in the town of Ebersdorff, and in the villages of Ebling and Aspern, and of his advancing towards Hirschstetten.
The archduke Charles now thought that the moment for giving battle had arrived, and hastened to Gerasdorff, where the chief, his quarter master-general's staff, gen. Baron Wimpfen, sketched out the following plan. Plan of attack upon the hostile army on its march between Ebling and Aspern, and towards Hirschstetten.
The attack to be made in five columns. The first column, or the column of the right wing, formed by the corps of lieut. gen. Hiller. It will advance from its present position in the direction between the point, and Leopoldau along the nearest arms of the Danube, pass along the left bank towards Stadelau and Aspern, keep constantly near the Danube and the meadows bordering upon it; and is vigorously to repulse the enemy, and to drive it from the left bank. This column must not suffer its progress to be impeded by the batteries which the enemy perhaps may have erected on the islands, but must endeavour to silence them by its cannon, and spiritedly continue to advance.
The second column consists of the corps

...in order to favor the advance of the column. The enemy drawn up in large divisions, stood immediately before Aspern, having, to cover his front, occupied the ditches of the fields, which afforded excellent breast-works. His right was covered by a battery, and his left by a broad and deep ditch, (one of those that carry off the waters of the Danube when it overflows) as well as by a bushy ground, which was likewise occupied by several bodies in close order.  Though the enemy had advantage of position all to himself, inasmuch as the freshest of the Danube were only passable by a small bridge, at which he kept up a vigorous fire from behind the ditches, both with cannon and small arms, it did not prevent the second battalion of Gyulay, immediately after the first had penetrated as far as the bushy meadows, to pass the bridge in a column, to form without delay, and with charged bayonets to attack the enemy, who precipitately retreated to Aspern, on which occasion that village, after a vigorous, but not very obstinate resistance, was taken for the first time. It was, however, not long before the enemy had it in his power, by the arrival of a fresh reinforcement, to expel again the battalions of Gyulay. By this time some battalions of the column had arrived, the columns of major Schneider, of the second column joined the advanced guard of the first; Gyulay formed again, and the enemy was a second time pushed to the lower end of the village, though he succeeded again in regaining what he lost.  Both parties were aware of the necessity of maintaining themselves in Aspern at any rate, which produced successively the most obstinate efforts both of attack and defence; the parties engaged each other in every street, in every house and in every barn; carts, ploughs, and harrows were obliged to be removed during an uninterrupted fire, in order to get at the enemy; every individual was an impediment to the assailants, and a rampart of the attacked; the steeple, lofty trees, the garrets and the cellars were to be conquered before either of the parties could still itself master of the place, and yet the possession was ever of short duration; for no sooner had we taken a street or a house, than the enemy gained another, forcing us to abandon the former. So this murderous conflict lasted for several hours; the German battalions were supported by Hungarians, who were again assisted by the Vienna volunteers, each rivaling the other in courage and perseverance. In the same the second column continued its attacks with those of the first, having to overcome the same resistance, by reason of the enemy's constantly leading fresh reinforcements into fire. At length gen. Yacquant of the second column succeeded in becoming master of the upper part of the village, and maintaining himself there during the whole night.  By the shells of both parties many houses had been set on fire, and illumined the whole country round.  At the extremity of the right wing on the bushy meadow, the combats were not less severe. The left flank of the enemy was secured by an arm of the Danube; impenetrable underwood, intersected only by foot paths, covered his front; and a broad ditch and palisades afforded him the advantage of natural ramparts.  Here fought at the beginning of the battle, the first battalion of Gyulay, under col. Marialy; and the battalion of chasurs under major Schneider; next the St. Georgens under major Michalovitch; and finally the two battalions of Vienna volunteers under lieut. col. Steigentesch and St. Quentin. Here also the enemy was defeated; and the first of this sanguinary engagement terminated by the occupation of Aspern by gen. Yacquant, at the head of eight battalions of the second column, while lieut. field mar. Hutter drew the troops of his corps from the village, placed them again in order of battle, and passed the night under arms.  (To be continued.)
The 1st column consisted of 19 Bat. 22 Squ.    2d — 20 16   3d — 22 8   4th — 13 8   5th — 13 16   The corps of cavalry — — 78   The corps of granadiers — 16 —   Total — 103 bat. 128 sqd.   which amounted to 75,000 effective troops.  Of artillery, there were 18 batteries of brigade, 13 of position, and 11 of horse artillery; in the aggregate 288 pieces of different calibres.
The enemy had availed himself extremely well of the advantage of the ground to cover his passage. The extensive villages of Essling and Aspern, mostly composed of brick houses, and encircled all round by heaps of earth, resembled two batteries, between which a double lane of natural trenches, intended to draw off the water, served as the curtain, and afforded every possible security to the columns passing from the isle of Lobau. Essling had a granary furnished with 1000 holes, and whose three stories afforded room for several hundred men, while Aspern was provided with a strong church yard. The left side of the latter village borders on an arm of the Danube. Both villages had a safe communication with the bushy ground near the Danube, from which the enemy had it constantly in his power to dispatch, unless, fresh reinforcements. The isle of Lobau served at once as a place of arms and a rete-point, a bridge-head for the bridge, in the rear across the main arm of the river.  The enemy with the divisions of generals Molitor, Boudet, Nasouff, Legrand, Efpagne, Lafalle, and Ferdinand, under the Marshals Massena and Lannes, as well as Marshal Bernier, together with the guards of the Wurtemberg, Hesse-Darmstadt, and Baden auxiliaries, had already left this position, and was directing his march towards Ebersdorf, when the first Austrian advanced guards met him.  It is at all permitted in war, to indulge favourable presentiments, it was certainly excusable to do so at that great moment when on the 21st of May, exactly at twelve o'clock the columns began to put themselves in motion for the attack—a general enthusiasm had taken possession of the troops—joyful war songs, accompanied by Turkish music, resounded through the air, and were interrupted by shouts of "Long live our emperor! Long live the archduke Charles!" wherever the imperial guard appeared, who had placed himself at the head of the second column. Every breast panted with anxious desire and high confidence after the decisive moment, and the sweet weather favoured the awful scene.
Battle of the twenty-first May.  FIRST COLUMN.  The advanced guard under gen. Nordman consisting of two battalions of Gyulay and Lichtenstein hussars, had formed near the destroyed bridge of Tador, and leaving the villages of Kahn and Hirschstetten to the left, and Stadlau to the right, marched in the plain towards Aspern.  It was followed by the column, which, having left the road before the post-office at Stammersdorf, had marched from the right by half divisions. Its right flank along the Danube was covered by a battalion of St. Georgians, by the first battalion of Vienna volunteers, and by a battalion of militia, under the command of major count Collorodo.  Within a cannon shot of Stadelau, the out posts met the enemy's piquets, which gradually retreated to their original divisions.  At this time gen. Nordman ordered two battalions of Gyulay to draw up enech-

KENTUCKY GAZETTE.  "True to his charge— He comes, the Herald of a noisy world; News from all nations humming at his back."  LEXINGTON, SEPTEMBER 26.
LEXINGTON BOARDING SCHOOL AND ACADEMY.  MRS. BECK most respectfully informs her friends and the public, that her Academy will open on Monday, the 4th September. The hours of tuition (as long as the season will permit) will be from 8 till 12 A. M. and from 3 till 6 P. M.  The following is a list of the Young Ladies, who received Premiums at the late examination, viz.  Miss M. Merrell, for Spelling. Robert, Reading and Arithmetick. Pollyethwait, Writing. Hunt, Hunt. Vanderburgh, Each a premium in the three Dramatical Rehearsals. January, Naunette Price, Composition. Hunt, Parsing, Terrestrial and Astronomical Problems, and Political Geography. A. K. Wilson, Astronomy and Geographical Rehearsal. Logan, English Syntax. Helen Vanderburgh, Music.  SECOND CLASS.  Miss Overton, Geographical and Gramatical Rehearsal and Parsing. The Dancing School, by Mrs. Mentelle, continues without interruption.
THE subscriber having disposed of his printing and book-binding establishment, to Mr. Thomas Smith, takes this method of announcing that event to his friends and the public in general. In determining on this measure, he has consulted his own interest. For seven years past he has been a faithful servant to the public; during which time he has endeavoured to discharge his editorial duties with advantage to them and himself. He has endeavoured to avoid wounding the feelings of those who have differed from him on national politics; at the same time, never withholding his own sentiments on those subjects. In short, he has endeavoured to publish an impartial, useful Gazette. How far he may have succeeded in those attempts, is not for him to say; but the uniform extensive patronage he has received, he conceives the best criterion to form an opinion—and this has been truly flattering. Nor does he regret any thing more than the necessity for the measure he has taken. But the present low prices of printing, rendered it necessary that every cent earned, should be received—this has not been the case, and he yielded to the imperious calls of creditors.  From his knowledge of Mr. Smith, he feels no hesitation in recommending him to the notice of the public, as a young gentleman of industry and correct deportment; and with the change of Editors which is about to take place, he has no doubt but the patrons of the Gazette will be entirely pleased.  The Kentucky Gazette will continue to be forwarded to subscribers, unless arrears are paid and the contrary directed, until the first day of January, and charged to that day, at which time the entire interest of the subscriber will determine, as it does to advertisements this day. All future insertions will of course be payable to his successor.  The subscriber will now devote more time to the settlement of his accounts, and those indebted to him will therefore see the necessity of discharging their accounts immediately; and those to whom he is indebted will present their accounts for payment.  DANIEL BRADFORD.  September 26, 1809.  The partnership of D. & C. Bradford is dissolved by mutual consent. Those indebted to that firm, will please to make payment; and those who have claims against it, will make application for payment to either of the parties.
HAVING purchased the Establishment of the KENTUCKY GAZETTE of Mr. D. Bradford, the subscriber wishes to inform the public that it will be continued on the same principles by which it has been governed, when under the direction of Mr. B. The subscriber does not wish to raise the expectations of the public, by making ostentatious promises of what he intends to do. He will only observe that no exertion shall be wanting to render the KENTUCKY GAZETTE deserving a continuance of the liberal patronage which it received when in possession of its former proprietor. He wishes to be judged by his works only; and whenever he shall be found wanting in his duty, it will be in the power of the public to apply the proper corrective.  Those subscribers who do not wish to transfer their patronage to the present proprietor, will be so good as to forward an intimation to that effect before the first of January next.  THOMAS SMITH.
Those gentlemen who have subscribed their names as members of the Bible Society of Lexington, will be punctual in their attendance at the Presbyterian meeting-house on Friday afternoon, at four o'clock.
THE Examination of the Students in the Transylvania University will commence on Monday the second of October, and will continue from day to day until finished. The friends of literature are respectfully invited to attend the examination. The Students will, as usual, pronounce Oration in the afternoon, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.  The stated meeting of the Board of Trustees will be held at the same time and place.
We have seldom witnessed a more interesting scene than the one exhibited in our town on Thursday last.  It has already been noticed in this paper, that the officers of the 42d Regiment had determined to give a Barbecue on that day, to which a general invitation was given to all who would appear in uniform. Agreeable to this notification, captain Telford's troopers, captain Bodley's company of Infantry, captain Hudson's and captain Wynne's Rifle companies, and captain Davis's captain Shirrock, captain Hays, and captain Bradford's Infantry of the line, amounting to upwards of two hundred men in uniform, paraded on the public square at 10 o'clock. The regiment was commanded by colonel George Trotter, and the battalions by majors Wyatt and Robb. The regiment being formed, captain Bodley's company of Light Infantry was detached to the colonel's quarters for the regimental colours, lately painted for the regiment, in a style of superior elegance, by Mr. Beck.
They then marched to Mr. Maxwell's spring, and partook of an excellent Barbecue. There were no feet too fast prepared for the occasion; a number of volunteers were, however, drank; which are unavoidably omitted for want of room. After dinner they returned to town, fired a salute, and were dismissed. The greatest order prevailed throughout the whole day.
It must be highly gratifying to every friend of his country to witness the military ardour which pervades our citizens at the present crisis. Would to heaven that the militia throughout the state would emulate their fellow citizens of the forty-second Regiment. The surest safeguard of a republic is a well disciplined militia; and to have that militia disciplined they must be put in uniform, and arms placed in their hands.  We regret that either penury or pride should prevent a great number of our most active young men from appearing in the ranks with their fellow-citizens.
THE RACCOON IN HIS TRICKS.  The object of the piece is to show the deformity of Lying and Hypocrisy, and the puns of coveting your neighbour's goods, if even a book—which there is a story. If the writer does the subject justice, it may at this time have a good effect.
AN UNLUCKY ATTEMPT AT DISSECTING THE BULL-FROG.  My gentle muse is charg'd with spite, Because that she has chose to write 'Bout monikies without tails, and dogs, And Free and Easy's croaking Frogs. On truth or falsehood of this charge, Now, in this place, I sha'n't enlarge For reason why; 'twill be expected To see the Bull-Frog now dissected, To view him o'er, just piece by piece, That we may judge him with more ease— Though he was founded Free and Easy, And joined parts that are most crazy, Yet, sure no healthy constitution Would set up such an institution, Who hopes to meet the approbation Of every good man in the nation. The thing might do exceeding well To amuse a being with a tail; But 'tis a case upon the whole, I won't suit a creature with a soul; If uncomf't'd the soul must rise To claim a title to the skies— Those grow in class, at the first view, May harmlessness seem, because they're new— Their orgies may be much resorted, As they from London were imported, By a bull-frog assuming sense, And start'd with English impudence; Who makes in ev'ry thing a splitter, Because, forsooth, he's cross'd the water. But hold! the time is now expected, The building was to be dissected. I'll soon begin, I'd have you know I just have sent for Butcher Joe, To aid in that important matter— (For Frogs do always make a splitter) And here Joe comes, with rope and lever, His butcher knife, his steel and clever. Good morning, doctor, do step in— Here is a bull-frog you must skin, With pleasure, sir—I shall endeavour— At skimming I am counted clever. Besides there's many bright examples, Where I've cut people for the simples— And sometimes I do take a turn At boring for the hollow-horn. Dear friend command if you'll ruffle, He'll bounce and make a deep rate scuffle. This sha'n't n't stop—I'll stroke and pat him, If that w'n't do, I'll gobble at him. Pray tell me, doctor, if you can This frog's a frontis now trapan? His brain wants room, which causes evil, And lack of sense makes him unev'il. O yes, draw sir, just in one minute, I'll throw him down, and then begin it— But first, I think, 'twould be most clever To take a peep into his liver; For that's a part, if well inspected, You'll find is very much infected With dirty spots—and that's not all, He must have overflow'd with gall. Caus'd by the want of his proportion, Expected on this side the ocean. Now at his paunch I'll take a clip, Already I've begun to rip— A good account I'm sure to render— Doctor, take care, those parts are tender! Take care, dear doctor; 'tis but, tut, tut! Bad manners! something's foully e'cut. This is no more than I expected— Your knife has not been well directed; You always will be butcher Joe— The mischief's done! come let us go.
Francis James Jackson, esq. envoy extraordinary, and minister plenipotentiary of his B. M. to the United States, was on the 11th inst. received by the Secretary of State, as for as for D. M. Erskine.  The Secretary of State left the city of Washington on the 13th inst. for Baltimore. The Secretary of the treasury also left the city the same day for the northward.  The Supporter
Jackson, we learn, has been treated with the most deferred contempt by every gentleman of worth at Annapolis. No gentleman paid any attention to him; and at Norfolk, it is said, his effigy was burnt on the beach, in his view.—(Whig.)
Ten Dollars Reward.  RAN away from the subscriber, about the 10th of May last, an apprentice to the tailor's business, by the name of Thomas Merry, about eighteen years of age, five feet four inches high, has a scar near the knuckles of his right hand which measurably disables some of the fingers, the third of which he is unable to straighten. Whoever will deliver the above boy to the subscriber in Lexington, shall receive the above reward.  C. Cayle.  Sept. 25, 1809.
CHAIN BRIDGE.  THE subject being so little understood is perhaps the best apology for this call on the public attention. It is intended only to state a few such particulars as may enable those concerned, to judge whether this method will answer their purpose. It is believed that a Bridge on this principle, may be safely extended to spaces of 300 feet each—suppose then, a bridge of 300 feet span, and 30 feet wide, supported by four chains of an inch and an half square bar, which at the lowest calculation 30 ton per inch, will amount to 540 ton strength. The materials of such Bridge being made of pine, or other light wood, will be less than 140 tons weight, the excess of power then will be 400 tons. A Bridge of single passage would be about half that weight, and would be supported by two of the chains—the smith work, costs two or three cents per lb. and the carpenter's work scarce worth naming—the subscriber will cheerfully give any further information that may be desired.

POETRY. MR. BRADFORD, By inserting the following song composed short- ly before the death of Genl. Washington, you will oblige a citizen of Kentucky since the year 1781. John Gatwood. Let Europe be proud of her seats so imperial, Her lordship, her freedom and palaces grand— All raised by devouring honest men's vitals, By fraud and oppression in slavery's land. Thus while each traveller his home makes most of, In praising Mount Vernon I'm sure I'm not wrong— Mount Vernon containing what thrones cannot boast of— Her liberty's guardian, the theme of my song. Let monarchs be proud of those seats so imperial, Their countries, their cities and palaces fair; And boast that all nature doth hoard up their trea- sures, To cherish the scenes of monarch so rare. But I, truly blest with republican spirit, Will sing of Mount Vernon, for there doth belong One, matchless in glory and such godlike merit— I mean, the great Washington, the theme of my song. Let public or private hostilities threaten, Or foreign invasion presume to appear: The campaign of freedom as heretofore beaten, Shall foreigners dread Columbian severe. Then in Europe not only, but all the world over, 'Til ages unborn shall great Washington's fame, Be sung by each patriot, each liberty's lover, And paradise called by Mount Vernon's blest name.
ANECDOTES. When lord Mansfield once went to Oxford circuit, an old fellow, who was evidence in a cause relative to a pathway through a com- mon, gave the best evidence he could: but said he wished they had been present when a cause of the same sort was argued by a dam- ner clever fellow, whose name was Murray, who made all as clear as the day. "But he is dead (added he) and I never shall see the like of him again." "Stop, (said lord Mansfield) you must not swear in court; pray how long has he been dead?" "O many years I'm told." Singular advertisement from a New York paper. Whereas my husband, John C. Lutgert, a dirty Dutchman, between 5 and 6 feet high, has a round face, snub nose large mouth and teeth, squint eyed, and marked with the small pox; in addition to this, he has long small legs, knock need, humpback'd, eat ham'd and a fool—did about the first of June last forsook me, and absent himself in a clandestine manner from my board without any ap- probation or any known cause or provoca- tion on my part. Now know ye, that I do in consequence of all above mentioned, disown and reject him from this time forever: and I do furthermore request, that no one will use the least influence in their power to return him to me again, as I am resolved to adhere strictly to this resolution: for by his absence, I am relieved from a detestable nuisance. Now, know ye moreover, that I do, by these pre- sents grant unto the said Lutgert, free and uninterrupted ingress and egress into any part of the world, my bed only excepted. POLLY LUTGERT.

THIRTY DOLLARS REWARD. RAN away from the subscriber, living in Mont- gomery county, state of Kentucky, near Mount- sterling, a NEGRO MAN named Charles, be- tween thirty and forty years of age, about five feet eight or ten inches high, stout and well made, has an impediment in his speech when he speaks fast, he has a scar on his left hand occasioned by a burn in his infancy which has considerably dimi- nished the size of his thumb, which occasions it to incline more than is natural to his hand, and can not extend it from the hand so far as the other thumb; his clothing I cannot recollect. The sub- ber reward shall be paid to any person for deliv- ering the said negro to me, or fifteen dollars for securing him in any jail in the United States and giving me information so that I get him again, or fifty dollars if taken out of the state and delivered to me.

A CAUTION. SOME time ago I assigned to a certain William Sparks, a note on William Sanders of Fayette County, for the sum of one hundred dollars, at the time of the assignment it was expressly understood, that I was not to be liable, on said assignments in case Sanders should prove insolvent—Sparks being better acquainted with Sanders than I was, took upon himself all risk. In consequence of an unjust attempt made by said Sparks, to recover of me on account of my assignment in which he has failed, I give this notice to prevent honest men from trading with said Sparks for his pretended claim on me. Thomas Woods. Jessamine County Sept. 1st 1809 Patent Hemp & Flax-breaking Machine. THE subscribers have purchased the right for the state of Kentucky of Thomas Cohoon'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 breakers is worked by one horse with ease, and requires only one person 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 com- mon hand-break. A farther account of the machine is deemed un- necessary, 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 opin- ions 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 im- portant acquisition to our state, and therefore re- commend 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 breakers 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.

Three Hundred Dollars Reward. ESCAPED from the jail of Fairfield district, South-Carolina, on the 15th instant, Shadrack Ja- cobs , who shot and killed Captain Andrew Peaster of the said district, while aiding the deputy sher- iff to take him with a bench warrant from the court of Newberry district, South-Carolina. He made his escape and fled from justice to the state of Georgia, where he was apprehended for horse stealing, and committed to the jail of Washington county, from which he was demanded by the governor of South-Carolina, and brought to the jail (from which he has now escaped) in Decem- ber last. A bill of indictment was preferred against him in Fairfield court at April last, for the murder of capt. Peaster, and a true bill found by the grand jury. Shadrack Jacobs is about forty or forty-five years of age, about five feet eight inches high, stout and well made, fair complexion, light brown hair mix- ed with gray, (cut very short when he escaped) broad face, full cheeks, high forehead, small nose, heavy brow, blue eyes, rather approaching the haz- el, sharp and penetrating, his countenance betrays suspicion and fear when spoken to quick, or on the subject of his character, speaks slow and with cau- tion, tolerably masculine voice, draws his words, and oft gives to them a flat sound or tone, has a visible speck or defect on one of his front teeth, has a scar on some part of his face or neck, (the part not particularly recollected,) has also a re- markable scar on his breast, 'tis believed on the left, near the nipple, viz. a sink or hole, nearly the size of an egg. The above reward will be paid to any person or persons who do or shall deliver the said Shadrack Jacobs into the said jail from which he escaped, or one hundred dollars for apprehending and con- fining him in any jail within five hundred miles, and information given, so that he shall be got on ap- plication by legal authority from South-Carolina.

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 inter- est of any one to import articles of this kind. The samples of machines that they have execu- ted in this state evidence that they are masters of their profession; and they flatter themselves that their work will bear a comparison with the manu- factory of Manchester. They wish to take two or three apprentices to the business—and will give generous wages to a journeyman Blacksmith. Lexington, August 15, 1809.
