THE CRISIS.—No. II.
IN elucidating so important a subject as the rise and progress of a dispute between two nations, it is impossible that the mind can form an accurate conception of the different motives which instigated to action, without taking a view of the national situation of each, prior to the contention. It is from this source, that fundamental principles are to be drawn; which conduct the mind through all the mazes of cabinet ambiguity, to the discovery of truth.
The situation of America, prior to the French Revolution, was of that kind, which every infant nation under similar circumstances, might be supposed to enjoy. As a nation of men, the character which her struggle for liberty, gave her among the empires of the earth, had entitled her to all that respect which flows from virtuous intentions. As a people possessing a soil and a climate of unrivaled excellence, we were entitled to respect ourselves, as the peculiar favorites of fortune, and to anticipate the enjoyment of that repose which these circumstances, as well as our remote situation from the rest of the world, gave us reason to hope for. We found an extensive continent obscurely situated in the West, possessing innumerable advantages calculated to nurture the spirit of peace and all those amiable attributes of republicanism, which the rest of mankind had been strangers to. The fierce spirit of national animosities which had for ages been engendered under the chilling influence of despotic institutions, had forgot to glow in the milder and more congenial regions of the Western World. Under the influence of these circumstances, there existed no temptations to our citizen, to entertain any desires beyond the humble concerns of his farm, where all his happiness is centred, and his true glory appeared to rest. Of course the United States became in a short time, peculiarly agricultural, which not only suited the genius, the manners and habits of our countrymen, but afforded an immense surplus over and above the their actual consumption; which gave origin to a system of commerce not to have been dispensed with, in our endeavors to facilitate the prosperity of the nation. With the most interesting and respectable powers of Europe, treaties of friendship and commerce, were deemed absolutely necessary, to give encouragement to the only plan of interest, which the situation of our country recommended us to pursue. Beneath the influence of this commerce, and the mildness of our laws, our merchant, farmer and mechanic, began to feel themselves in the rational enjoyment of life. We neither dreaded our more contiguous neighbors, nor conceived it consistent with the policy of foreign powers, to molest that repose which we had won with the sword, and fondly hoped to establish as an inheritance for our posterity. An accumulating national debt, oppressive taxation and tyrannical laws, were evils which we neither felt, nor had any reason to conceive would ever become necessary or probable. The prospect of the past contained nothing in our conduct, which might inspire the mind with a single sentiment of regret, nor those of the future, with any anticipations, but what awakened our fondest hopes, for national prosperity and happiness. Thus situated, America became the asylum of safety, to which the inhabitants of Europe resorted, to participate of the blessings which they found so liberally dispensed throughout the union. Population began to increase, our agriculture to grow, and our commerce to acquire a considerable degree of maturity.
We were only interesting to the nations of Europe as they became interesting to ourselves. A kind of equality of wants and reciprocity of interests subsisting between each, laid the foundation of that good understanding, which was cultivated with sincerity and supported with a mutual desire to be of service to each other.
Things being in this happy state, America appeared to forget her former calamities in the bosom of national tranquility—when the French revolution broke out.—This astonishing event immediately opened a new field for philosophical reflection—the mind was instantly set to work to discover the cause of so important an effect: a novelty which mankind were neither prepared for, or had even held in the most remote calculation.—The long & tyrannical oppressions of the French nation, together with the example which the American revolution, and the American situation held out, were found to be the approximate causes of this singular event.—This revolution, in contemplating the destruction of one of the most rigorous despotisms that had ever bound up in chains the civil privileges of mankind, pointed eventually to a promotion of liberty, and a restoration of those rights to which they had, for a series of ages, been strangers. It being the cause of humanity, and America having nothing to dread from its influence, but prompted by those virtuous sentiments which she had nurtured as constituent principles in her political existence, she was the first to express her joy at the glorious event, and to feel the cause of France as her own cause, and the cause of the human race. A disparity of opinion on the subject, from one end of the continent to the other, was difficult to be found—the government was as ardent in its professions of friendliness to the cause, as the people were elated at an event which brought to mind the remembrance of their own calamities, in which they saw the French nation borne down with oppression, struggling for liberty, and ultimately crowned with success.
In the meantime the affairs of France bore the most unfavorable aspect; which was deeply and sincerely regretted by the government and people of the United States, who, as they had been similarly situated, felt every wound the revolution received as one inflicted on themselves.—This friendly disposition was not the result of hypocrisy in America; for at that period, she had much to lose, perhaps, from the ambition of the European princes, and much to gain from the progress of republicanism and the establishment of civil institutions similar to her own. The sincerity of her friendship was evinced, at the risk of the good understanding which subsisted between these states and the powers of Europe, by those repeated prayers and thanksgivings, which were so devoutly offered up, for the salvation and success of the cause, by every class and denomination of people throughout the union.
It was not with the same sympathy that the potentates of Europe beheld this mighty revolution, moving on with rapid advances in the promotion of that knowledge and spirit of liberty, which was one day to shake the very thrones, from whence the powers of royalty were dispensed.—It was pulling down one of the fundamental pillars upon which their sacred prerogatives were built, and weakening that plan of oppression, the true source of all the pride, the grandeur and infamy of kings.—From the revolution in France they had every thing to fear, and nothing to gain—the principles which the French nation were in pur-
suit of, in as much as they were essentially different from those whose rigor it had felt before, tended to unmask the policy of the European despots, and to display it in such detestable colors, as could not fail to excite the disgust and opposition of their subjects. They were viewed as the forerunners of some disastrous event, which might tear open the long concealed cabinet of reason, and discover to man the knowledge of himself, his dignity and his rights.—It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that this revolution, apparently so favorable to the interests of the human race, should be marked in its progress with envy and dissatisfaction, by those who had lost the feelings of humanity, in the habits of oppression. This spirit gave origin to one of the most formidable combinations the world had ever seen; which aimed at a complete extermination of the republic, by restoring the monarch to his throne, and devoting the people to their ancient state of slavery.—France had not only much to fear on this head, but those fears were also sensibly increased by the internal factions which continued to exist, a considerable time, within the bosom of the republic. Convulsed by all the savage horrors attendant on civil war, and opposed by the most powerful nations in the world, her fate, for a long time, became suspended between the extremes of hope and fear, which marked her destiny with that problematical feature, from which no certain calculations could be drawn.
It was at this unhappy crisis, that America viewed France in the character of the ally and the friend. Amidst every danger which appeared to threaten that infant republic, neither awed by the coalition of all Europe, or the suspicions of a counter-revolution, she still appears to have openly expressed her disapprobation of the policy pursued by the combined powers, and to have followed the successes of the French arms, with mutual sentiments of joy. At that period she beheld in France a great and magnanimous nation, attempting to add one more link to the chain of republicanism, which the condition of man, and the increasing progress of knowledge, seemed to indicate, was one day to connect the human race together.
But whilst these things were transacting in Europe, it became a duty in America to examine her own relative situation, and to form some plan that might protect her from that vortex of European politics, which appeared to threaten the most direful consequences to the contending parties.—In listening to the voice of this duty, she was determined to be regulated by what reason and her own situation deemed most prudent; without conceiving that she was engaged by prior stipulations, to assume an active part on the one side or the other. She could not, also, have construed her hesitation on this subject, as incompatible with her former professions of friendship towards France, nor as a dereliction of that cause which she still viewed as the cause of man, embraced with enthusiasm, and honored in her councils.
PHOCION.
TAKE NOTICE,
THAT commissioners appointed by the court of Mason county, will meet on Monday the 20th of August ensuing at Hugh Shannons settlement and pre-emption on the waters of Shannon, in order to take depositions of witnesses and perpetuate their testimony respecting the said settlement and pre-emption, and do such other acts as may be agreeable to law.
WILLIAM JOHNSON.
July 25th, 1798.
C. FREEMAN,
PHYSICIAN & SURGEON,
Late of the Indian towns, from the North-Western Territory of the United States, now at Lexington in Kentucky.
RESPECTFULLY informs the public, that he has been regularly bred to the art of Physic and Surgery. Studied three and an half years with doctor Laurence, V.D. Veer, an eminent practitioner, and late president of the medical society of the state of New-Jersey; attended doctor William Shippen's lectures on anatomy, surgery and midwifery, in the city of Philadelphia—received a license to practice as a physician and surgeon throughout the state of New-Jersey, 13th of August, 1785, from the honorable David Brearly and Isaac Smith, two of the justices of the supreme court of the state of New-Jersey, agreeable to an act passed 25th November, 1782, by the council and general assembly of that state, for regulating the practice of physic and surgery.
Since which time, he has travelled through twenty-two different tribes of Indians, among whom he has resided nearly four years, and made it his constant study to investigate and find out the virtues of all kinds of herbs, roots, plants and simples, used by them in the curing of diseases; by which means he has made a number of valuable discoveries in the healing art, and now (with the blessing of God) cures and gives relief in most diseases incident to the human body—viz. Fevers, inflammations, eruptions, hemorrhages, fluxes, fits, cramps, convulsions, head-aches, fore-eyes, bleeding at the nose, colds, coughs, pain in the breast, spitting of blood, pains in the stomach, indigestion, night sweats, inward debilities, low spirits, vapours in men, hysterics in women, difficulty of making water, bloody urine, costiveness and rheumatism, effectually destroys worms, cures flux and wandering pains arising in different parts of the body, the effects of the improper use of mercury, green wounds, old sores, ulcers, burns, scalds, cankers, scald-head in children, piles and fistulas, the whites in women, and all feminal weaknesses in both sexes; the bite of the viper, rattle snake, and all venomous bites effectually cured.
The many cures performed within four years past, which will fully appear (to any gentleman who will please to call upon him, being too lengthy for this paper) by papers and vouchers of cures performed, now in his hands, properly attested, and whose authenticity cannot be denied, matters himself is sufficient to convince the public that he has been successful in curing diseases, and that this is not intended as an imposition upon mankind.
HEREBY forewarn all persons from taking assignments on three bonds, given by me to Mr. Peter G. Voorhies, of the town of Frankfort, dated some time in March last, for forty pounds each; the first payable some time in November next; the second sometime in May, 1799; the third in May, 1800 as near as I recollect; as I am determined not to pay them until compelled by law; the said Voorhies not having complied with his bond to me for a tract of first rate land in Mason county, the said land proving not to be of the quality specified in the said bond.

LONDON, May 21.
By letters from Vienna, of May 2, we learn, that the reports of the renewal of war had considerably increased, in consequence of the indignation which had been manifested by the subjects of his imperial majesty at the conduct of Bernadotte. The French consul at Trieste had heavily given rise to another riot, by displaying a tri-coloured flag. The preparations for war were carried on with great activity.
May 24.
This day's Extraordinary Gazette contains a letter from lord St. Vincent to the lords of the admiralty, dated the 10th of May, off Cadiz, giving an account of the capture of the Leopard, French letter of marque, mounting 12 sixes and 14 swivels, and carrying one hundred men, by his majesty's sloop Pettewell, captain Caulfield.
A letter from lord Duncan, of the 19th, stating the capture of Renommee French privateer, of 5 guns and 54 men, on the 22d of April, by the Albrecht, capt. Dacres.
And a letter from capt. Wollaston, of his majesty's sloop Cruizer, dated Sheerness, May 20, stating the capture on the 19th May, of Le Chasseur French lugger, of four six pounders and forty-eight men, out eight days from Honfleur.
PARIS, May 12.
It is confidently said that more than forty thousand men have been just put on board the ships at Toulon, Genoa, Ancona, and Civita Vecchia. We have at present in these ports, 33 ships of the line, completely equipped and provisioned for six months, of which 21 have been got ready at Toulon, and 12 have been formerly in the Venetian service. It is supposed that this naval force, when united, will proceed through the gut of Gibraltar, compel lord St. Vincent to raise the blockade, and then effect a junction with the Spanish squadron, consisting of 25 ships of the line.
A forced loan has been imposed upon all persons of property at Rome, and in the different districts of the Roman republic. The payments are to be made within the space of fifteen months, under the penalty of military execution against those who shall not comply with the terms of it.
BERLIN, May 1.
For some days past we have nothing but rumours of war. One moment it was said that the French had taken possession of the Wesel; again that a courier had come from the Directory, demanding a categorical explanation from the court, whether we were to take part for or against the French? These reports are premature, and probably have originated in the conjectures that are formed respecting the consequences of the late important occurrences at Vienna.
FRANKFORT, April 28.
Letters received from Coblenz and the Lower Rhine, all confirm the account that the troops, appointed to reinforce the army of Mentz, are in full march. Many corps have already reached the place of their destination, and artillery are likewise on their way to Mentz, for the use of the army, should hostilities be renewed.
The garrisons of Mentz, Thionville, Longwy, Montmedy, Givet, Namur, &c. are now on their march for the right bank of the Rhine, to reinforce the army of the Nidda.
As soon as general Hatry, near Mentz, had received intelligence of that late disturbance at Vienna, he dispatched a courier to Paris for immediate instructions how to act.
The Austrian magazines established in Bavaria, are for 50,000 men.
We have not yet received any satisfactory confirmation of the assertion in the Hanau Gazette, that an offensive and defensive alliance between Austria and Prussia had been concluded on the 8th instant.
NEW-YORK, July 28.
The London Star of May 14, says, "The mutiny increases on board the following ships, at Gillingham: the Bristol, Hero, Sans Diana and Eagle, which are obliged to have their respective commanders perpetually on board. Captain Douglass, who has the general command over the whole, has ordered a double watch to be kept incessantly, over the gratings."
Jealousy mingled with Love!!
This worst of all passions, and most to be dreaded, gave rise to the following melancholy circumstance: Yesterday morning, about 3 o'clock, Mr. Gardie went to his wife's bed, and with a knife, stabbed her to the heart! Her screams awoke her son, about ten years old—he got up, and, before he had time to leave the room, he saw Mr. Gardie plunge the same knife into his own belly! They both expired on the spot! They were at lodgings at the noted French boarding house, the corner of Pearl and Broad streets.
NEWBURY-PORT, July 17.
By captain Buflington, arrived at Salem yesterday, in 17 days from Martinique, information is brought of the arrival of a vessel there in 20 days from London, bringing the intelligence of the complete defeat of the French, in an attempt to effect a descent upon England. A considerable number of troops having landed, they were all cut off to a man, and eighty gun boats, having on board 16,000 men, were entirely destroyed by admiral Nelson and sir Sidney Smith. The French sailed from Brest. This account was received by a gentleman from Salem, last evening. [Apocryphal.]
CHARLESTON, July 13.
Capt. Luther Lincoln, late master of the ship Fox, of this port, arrived last evening in the stage from Savannah. He left Grenada on the 22d of June. The day before, he informs, a dispatch boat arrived there from England, which brought accounts as late as the 25th of May.
Capt. Lincoln had an opportunity of perusing an English paper for a few minutes; it contained an account of a transaction, which took place shortly before the date of the paper, in Ireland. Sixteen thousand of the troops, on which the government placed most reliance, had gone out under general Abercrombie, to attack a body of the Irish, opposed to government: they were drawn up in two lines, when the Irish met them; a parley took place between the opposing bodies when the Irish asked the soldiers if they meant to murder their fellow subjects, who were only contending for their rights? The officers of the army addressed the soldiers in return, and ordered them to fire. The government troops laid down their arms and retreated, when the most of the arms fell into the hands of the Irish. An officer or two were killed, in attempting to rally the men.
Gen. Abe remble had resigned his command, and the Marquis of Cornwallis was appointed in his place.
As capt. Lincoln had possession of the paper but a few minutes, he can give no other material article. Preparations for the descent on England, he says, were still going on.
PHILADELPHIA, July 26.
For the information of the merchants. A letter from Mr. Daniel Clark, jun. of New-Orleans, dated on the 14th ult. has been received by the secretary of state, communicating the information, that the intendant of Louisiana, has consented to permit, as long as the war lasts the importation for sale in New-Orleans of every species of merchandise in American vessels, subject only to a duty of 6 per cent. and the exportation of the produce of that province in American bottoms on the payment of the same duty. He has also exempted from duty all exports, from New-Orleans to the American settlements on the Mississippi and Ohio.
Department of state, } July 23, 1798. } JACOB WAGNER, chief clk.
Extract of a letter from the Spanish territory of Louisiana, dated June 20th, 1798.
"On a representation to the intendant of this place, by Mr. Daniel Clark, jun. who acts as consul for the United States, the former with the consent of his tribunal, has granted free entrance into this port, of all neutral vessels, under the same restrictions only as the colonial; that is, on paying six per cent. duty on their cargoes, and has also granted liberty to export the produce of the colony under the same restrictions. This is to the American commerce a matter of the greatest consequence, which by treaty is not permitted, New-Orleans being the only depot. Nor is the privilege of exporting Spanish produce in other vessels granted by treaty. The produce of the ceded territory is nothing but cotton, an article which cannot load a vessel, on account of its bulk and lightness, without an amazing quantity of ballast. This evil is remedied by the
circumstance which permits them to load with the Spanish articles of log-wood, peltries, &c."
LANCASTER, July 28.
The London papers to the 14th of May, give the particulars of a descent by the British, on the Flemish coast. The expedition succeeded in the destruction of the boats of the enemy; the canal, sluices, &c. of Bruges. But the English general, Coote, with all the land forces, (upwards 1000) were taken prisoners.
From the Aurora.
DIPLOMATIC SUCCESS OF CITIZEN GEREY. A letter received yesterday, from Bordeaux, by a merchant of this city, dated 21st May, informs, that orders had just been received there, from the government of France, to disarm all the privateers, and that similar orders had been sent to the French consuls in Spanish ports. That an owner of two privateers at Bordeaux, had offered 30,000 livres, for leave to send his two privateers to sea, which were down in the river, waiting for a fair wind, but was refused.
Another letter has been received by another merchant of this city, corroborating this intelligence.
GEORGETOWN, July 27.
In the District court of the United States, at Philadelphia, on the 20th of July, in the case of the United States against the privateer, Le Croyable, prize to the sloop of war, Delaware, Capt. Decatur: The court adjudged and decreed that the said privateer, Le Croyable, her apparel, guns, and other appurtenances, together with all effects found on board thereof, not claimed, or which shall not hereafter be claimed by citizens of the United States, be forfeited and sold at public auction; the money arising from the sale to be brought into court, to be distributed according to law.
ALEXANDRIA, July 17.
The Northern Stage which started from here yesterday morning had proceeded but a little distance before 3 of the trunks, containing property to a considerable amount, were cut from behind. It was first discovered about five miles from town, when several of the passengers immediately returned. A detachment of Light-Horse, a party of Militia, and a number of the citizens immediately went in pursuit of the villains and scoured the woods and adjacent country in search of them—but we are sorry to say to no effect.
Instances of depredations of this kind have but seldom occurred in Alexandria, but the number of robberies which have taken place within these few days, unquestionably prove that there is a gang of villains lurking about the town or its vicinity, for the purposes of plunder. It behoves the citizens to exert the utmost vigilance to detect and bring to justice these detestable free-booters.
On Monday last a vagrant was taken up for stealing shoes and exciting a riot. It appearing that he had just come INTO town to pay us a visit, he was immediately escorted OUT again, attended by civil officers accompanied with martial music, playing the transporting tune of "Oh! poor Kearfley."
Lexington, August 15.
On Monday last the citizens of Fayette and the counties adjacent, convened in this town, agreeably to a notice published in the newspapers; the number present was computed at four or five thousand—and after taking into consideration the present critical situation of public affairs, adopted the following resolutions:
 1. Resolved, that there is sufficient reason to believe, and that we do believe, that our liberties are in danger; and we pledge ourselves to each other, and to our country, that we will defend them against all unconstitutional attacks that may be made upon them.  2. Resolved, that the privilege of speaking and publishing our sentiments, on all public questions, is inestimable; that it is unequivocally acknowledged and secured to us by the constitution of this state, as well as by that of the United States; that all laws made to impair or destroy it are void; and that we will assert and exercise our just right to this privilege, in opposition to any law which hath been, or may be passed, to deprive us of it.  3. Resolved, that the alien bill is unconstitutional, impolitic, unjust, and a disgrace to the American name.  4. Resolved, that standing armies are dangerous to liberty, and that a well regulated and well armed militia, are the only natural and safe defenders of a republican government; that it was and is the duty of both the general and the state governments, to provide arms for 
this purpose; that they have neglected to perform this duty; and that it is now incumbent on every freeman to furnish himself without delay, at his own expence.
5. Resolved, that the powers given to the president to raise armies when he may judge it necessary, without limitation as to number; and to borrow money on the credit of the United States for their support, without restriction as to the amount of interest to be paid on the loan; are dangerous and unconstitutional.
6. Resolved, that the United States ought not to engage in any war, which is not absolutely necessary for the defence of their territory; that the entering into a maritime war in our present situation, must be dangerous to our liberties, and destructive to our happiness and prosperity; that it was in policy to commence hostilities against the French nation, at the time they were authorised by law; and that policy and humanity both require that peace between the two nations should be re-established as soon as it can be done upon proper terms, without regard to pecuniary or any kind.
7. Resolved, that the entering into a close political connection with the present corrupt and tyrannical government of Great Britain, is unnatural and dangerous; and that we look forward to such an alliance with horror.
8. Resolved, that we will, at the hazard of our lives and fortunes, support the union, the independence, the constitution, and the liberty of the United States.
9. Resolved, that we will, to the utmost of our power, oppose any enemy that may invade our country.
10. Resolved, that a prompt obedience ought to be rendered to all constitutional laws, by every good citizen; that this is a duty more particularly incumbent on those who confess themselves as defending their constitutional rights; and we declare, that we will not only pay this obedience ourselves, but will also, whenever we may be legally called upon for that purpose, assist in preventing any infraction of such laws by others.
11. Resolved, that our representative in congress be requested to lay the foregoing resolutions before the legislature and the President of the United States.
ROBERT JOHNSON, Chm.
At a meeting of a large number of the inhabitants of Montgomery county, state of Kentucky, at Mountsterling, the place of holding courts for the said county, August 2, 1798, to take into consideration the present alarming situation of the United States in general, but of these western and infant states in particular; Jilton Payne was chosen chairman, and Micajah Harrison clerk. After reading several public accounts, stating affairs as they stand at present between the United States and the republic of France, with a certain bill now lying before Congress, entitled "an act to define more particularly the crime of treason, and to define and punish the crime of sedition," and having calmly, peaceably and cautiously, for some hours, deliberated on the same, and the several consequences and parts thereof, entered into the following resolutions:
 1. Resolved, that it is our determination to stand to, and support the union, liberties and privileges of the United States, with our lives and property, so long as the government & the administration thereof shall be found to consist with our rights as free and good citizens.  2. Resolved, that the republic of France in the article of capturing our vessels, greatly injured and provoked us; but that we were accessory thereto by our late treaty with Great Britain, much to our disadvantage, and bearing an unfriendly aspect to that republic.  3. Resolved, that, in our opinion, sufficient attempts have not been made by government for amicably settling grievances between the two republics, to justify us in making a declaration of war.  4. Resolved, that a war at present with France, more especially an offensive one, we conceive will be wicked, and are sure will be dangerous to the United States; and particularly to the western frontiers.  5. Resolved, that if it should ever be necessary for us to defend ourselves against the encroachments of France or any other power, we choose, in a firm reliance on the Supreme Being for protection, to act on the defensive, and with our fellow citizens of the United States, to fight our own battles; and explode the very idea of an alliance with the tyrannic tottering kingdom of Britain, or any other monarchy.  6. Resolved, that the alien law is an infringement on the rights of humanity, cloathing the president with most amazing power, insinuates mistrust or doubt of integrity in the citizens of the United States, leads on to wanton cruelty, and finally tends to prevent our population, and cannot fail to render us odious among all nations.  7. Resolved, that all indirect taxation is unjust and dangerous, inasmuch as it is calculated to favor mo- 

opolizers, and keep the expenses of government from being so immediately felt, and in some measure out of the light of the common people, tho' to their disadvantage in the end.
8. Resolved, that the press shall be free to every citizen who undertakes to examine the proceedings of the legislature of the United States, or any branch of government; and that no law, consistent with the constitution, can restrict the right thereof. The free communication of thoughts and opinions is one of the invaluable rights of man, and can never be restrained, but by despotic governments.
9. Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be immediately dispatched, and humbly submitted to the president of the United States; and one to John Fowler, esq. our representative in congress: and that these proceedings be also published in the Kentucky Gazette.
JILSON PAYNE, Chairman. Atteste, M. HARRISON, CLK.
Accounts from Dublin, (Ireland) of the 21st May, state, that Justice Swan, Maj. Sirt and Capt. Ryan, who were informed that Lord Edward Fitzgerald was concealed in the house of a Mr. Murphy, feather merchant, they entered the house, followed by a number of soldiers; but, before the soldiers entered the room where his lordship was, Mr. Swan (who first entered the room) received a wound from his lordship, (by a dagger) in the side, under his left breast; upon which Mr. Swan discharged a double barreled pistol at Fitzgerald, which wounded him in the shoulder. On the approach of Ryan, his lordship gave him a desperate wound in the belly and several other places. Maj. Sirt and the soldiers then entering the room, surrounded, disarmed and conveyed his lordship a prisoner to the castle. Capt. Ryan is dangerously ill of his wounds.
NOTICE, To the Inhabitants of Bourbon, and the adjacent Counties. AT a crisis more important to the liberty, independence and happiness of America, than any which hath taken place since the declaration of independence—at a period, when the interests of the western country must be deeply affected by the measures which may be pursued by the Federal government—and at a time, when the citizens of America are generally expressing their sentiments as to the steps that ought to be taken by that government:—your silence will be construed into an unpardonable indifference to the welfare of your country, and an abandonment of your right, according to your number, of directing the counsels of your representatives. It is therefore proposed, that there shall be a general meeting of the inhabitants of Bourbon and the adjacent counties, on the next August Bourbon court day, at twelve o'clock, at the Presbyterian meeting-house, in the town of Paris, for the purpose of taking into consideration the present critical situation of public affairs, and to express to their representatives, their opinions of the measures which have been already adopted, and those which ought now to be pursued, at this eventful moment: and it is hoped, that the friends of peace, and those who are really attached to republican principles, will be pointed in their attendance on this occasion.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
Love, Beauty and Prudence, A FABLE.
THE beams of the declar'd the day, The birds their early matins pay, The landscape gild'd in Beauty bright, And all was rapture and delight.
When from the cop, between the trees, Where health comes smiling in each breeze, Florella, blooming, gay and fair, Came forth to taste the morning air.
Her cheeks the rose's blush display'd, Just fainter by the lilly made: Her eyes a lambent flame express'd, And rapture seem'd to heave her breast; Her form proportionably tall, Her waist not thick, nor yet too small, A medium fill to which we find, By artists, beauty is confin'd: Her dress was elegantly neat, Nor grand, nor mean, but quite compleat.
Love, who is always in the way, Resolv'd to make the maid his prey: His face was full with smiles bedeck'd, His manners gentle, all respect; With graceful ease he met the fair, (Ye nymphs his artful ways beware.)
Fair maid, says he, my name is love, I all the joy of life improve; My reign extends o'er earth and sea, And every creature bends to me: Each bird that tunes his little throat, Love forms the lay, inspires the note; The flocks and herds, that wanton bound, And sport along the flow'ry ground, From love alone their pleasures find, I make them play, I fill each mind: E'en the mute fishes in the lake, From love their floating gambols take; The stretching lawn, the shady grove, Have all their charms from mighty love; The lion, tiger, and the bear, By love are rul'd, his pleasures share; Nature throughout, below above, And ev'ry where is full of love: Then haste, fair nymph, and go with me, For love and beauty should agree: Neglect not this all-precious hour, Lest time should rob you of the pow'r.
The nymph was by his rhetoric won, And, in an instant, near undone; When suddenly a form appear'd, Her presence made her soon rever'd: Hold, damsel, hold, it straightway cries, I am call'd Prudence, by the wife; Without me, if with love you go, Sorrow ensues, and endless woe: To folly's temple he is bound, Where soon your bark will be on ground, Your virtue wreck'd, your peace all lost, And in a sea of trouble toss'd; Tho' love has ev'ry earthly charm To sooth the mind, the breast to warm, To banish grief, to still rage, And ev'ry painful throbb assuage, In all those joys you'll never share, Unless that Prudence too be there.
ANECDOTE.
A certain Bishop had a Biscayan man-servant, whom he ordered one festival to go to a butcher, who was called David, for a piece of meat, and then come to church, where the Bishop was to preach. The Bishop, in his sermon, bringing authorities from the scripture in this manner: Judas says thus—Jeremiah says thus— at last happening to turn towards the door, as his servant came in, went on, And what says Da- vid? Upon which the Biscayan roared out, "He swears to God, that if you do not pay your bill, you need never send to his shop again."
