5 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 point of space, convenience and comfort the apartments of the house are surpassed by none. A new stable has been erected on the back part of the lot which he ventures to pronounce is the best in the state, which will be under the immediate superintendence of Mr. William T. Barton. He has provided himself with good servants, a plentiful stock of the best liquors, and in short with every necessary calculated to accommodate and render agreeable the time of those who may favor him with their custom; and he trusts that from the attention which he means personally to give to every department of his business, he will be found to merit that patronage which he thus presumes to solicit from the public.

5 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 prevention and cure of bilious and malignant fevers, it is recommended. Lee's Anti-Bilious Pills. Prepared by Richard Lee & Son, Baltimore. Persons willing 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 fifth perspiration, 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 colic, navel-sickens 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 Throat, 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 of 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, Tetter, and all Eruptions of the Skin, rendering it soft and smooth. Lee's Genuine Eye-Water, an effectual remedy for all diseases of the Eyes. Tooth-Ache Drops, which give immediate relief. Lee's Corn Plaister. Damask Lip Salve. Restorative Powder, for the Teeth and Gums. The Anodyne Elixir, for the cure of every kind of Head-Ache. Indian Vegetable Specific, a certain and never-failing cure for Venereal complaints. The mildness of the Vegetable Specific is equal to its surprising efficacy; its operation is so gentle that it is given to Venereal patients in a state of pregnancy, with the utmost safety. With the medicine is given a Bill of Directions; and on the outside wrapper, the signature of "R. Lee and Son," if particular attention is not paid to the signature, it is probable that disappointment will be the consequence. FOR SALE, A LIKELY YOUNG MULATTO MAN, About 23 years of age—Enquire of Thos. Tibbats. Lexington, Oct. 16, 1809.

From the N. York Gazette, Oct. 11.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
The ship Pacific, Staunton, from Liverpool, arrived here last evening. She sailed the 3d of September, and brings Liverpool papers of the 2d and London of the 31st Aug. which capt. Staunton and the passengers have favored us with. Great uncertainty prevailed in England, respecting the practicability of executing any further operations on the Scheldt. Indeed it was said that Lord Chatham had called a council of war, and the result was that the expedition was to be abandoned against Antwerp and the French fleet. There were many reports respecting the renewal of the war between France and Austria. But the opinion appeared to predominate that peace between these powers would soon be concluded: the emperor Francis having determined to conclude a peace at any sacrifice.
There are some particulars in the papers relating to Spain, but not of so late a date as before received. Mr. Armstrong we are assured was at Amsterdam; having left Paris, where his situation had become very unpleasant. He had effected nothing with the French government; neither did he expect to effect any thing. He was anxious to be recalled. Indeed, it was said in London that he would sail on his return home, in all September. [Once for all, these stories about general Armstrong are totally destitute of foundation, the Wasp sloop of war may be expected about the 20th of November, with the result of gen. Armstrong's negotiations, which are expected to be a modification of the decrees of France in favor of neutral commerce.] Aur.
LONDON, Aug. 30. —A report was this morning prevalent in this city, that the preliminaries of peace between Austria & France had been signed about the 8th inst. The only authority quoted for this statement, is a gentleman arrived yesterday from Bordeaux, which he left on the 17th. It was generally believed in that place, that the preliminaries had been exchanged at Vienna, and that Bonaparte was actually at Paris on the 14th. The arrival of Napoleon at Bordeaux was certainly expected before the end of the present month, on his way to Spain; and the Prefect of the Department had issued orders for a guard of honour to hold itself in readiness to escort him to the frontiers. The distance from Bordeaux to Paris is about 330 miles. Of the existence of the opinion, at Bordeaux, of the conclusion of peace, and the consequent return of Bonaparte to Paris, and his journey to Spain, no doubt can be entertained; but we do not learn that any official communications of the facts had reached that city. Had the peace been concluded even so recently as the 20th, an event of such importance would have been celebrated before this time throughout France, and consequently illuminations and firing along the French coast would have taken place. It is confidently stated that official dispatches of great importance have been received from the earl of Chatham, and that the attainment of all the ulterior and more important objects of the expedition is now considered impracticable. For this statement we cannot vouch. It is certain however, which tends to support the opinion, that the capture of the enemy's squadron is unlikely to take place. It would be absurd to suppose that the enemy have not during the time which has elapsed since the appearance of our expedition, collected a strong force in Holland and Brabant, to oppose any operations which might be undertaken by our army on land; with regard to the Scheldt, various means we understand, have been adopted to obstruct its navigation. All the guns have been taken out of the French ships, and mounted on the batteries newly erected, in addition to those which before covered the banks of the Scheldt, between Fort Lillo and Antwerp; and the ships, thus lightened, have been floated up to a considerable distance above Antwerp. It is also said that several hulks have been sunk in the river, and that booms and chains have been extended across it.
Aug. 31. —Yesterday, the honourable captain Stanhope, Aid-de-Camp, to Lord Wellington, arrived at the Secretary of State's office, with dispatches from that General, dated at Deleitosa on the 8th instant. They state, that as soon as the British army had recovered the fatigue of the battles of the 27th and 28th ult. Lord Wellington proposed to march against Soult and Ney, who were advancing with the intention of getting in his rear. His Lordship accordingly broke up from Talavera for that purpose, leaving General Cuesta to defend that position, and about 1500 British sick and wounded. General Cuesta, however, having received intelligence that Ney and Soult had collected such a force as would, in his opinion, make them an over-match for the British army. He unfortunately quitted Talavera, for the purpose of reinforcing Lord Wellington. This movement enabled Victor to advance, and take possession of Talavera, and of course, our
isick and wounded fell into his hands. The advance of Victor entirely disconcerted Lord Wellington's plan of operations, because if he continued his march, he would be placed between two armies, each superior to his own. He therefore effected his retreat to Deleitosa where he has taken a position, in which he considered himself as perfectly secure. The French had collected their forces from every part of Spain, in the hope of overwhelming the British army. Their numbers were estimated as follows: Victor and Jourdan, 38,000 men; Soult, who had advanced from Arragon to Madrid, 6,000 men; Ney, Mortier and Soult, 30,000 men, making together 74,000. The British army, with its reinforcements, amounts to about 24,000 men; Cuesta's to 33,000 men; Beresford's to 12,000; Venegas to 25,000; and Sir R. Wilson's to 3,000, making together 97,000. The expenses of the expeditions to the Scheldt and Spain, it is supposed will not fall short of 11 millions; and that it will be necessary to call Parliament together in the month of November.
BATTLE OF TALAVERA
The more the intelligence from Spain, which we communicated yesterday, is considered, the more gloomy it appears. Sir Arthur Wellesley admitted in his dispatches, that after the battle of Talavera, Victor retreated in very regular order, and that some days elapsed before he withdrew his rear guard. To this evidence, showing that his defeat was not decisive, we may now add the rapidity with which he returned to Talavera, the moment he found the British army had commenced its retreat. The sudden and rapid advance of Soult to Placentia, shews how erroneous all our ideas have been with respect to his situation. His army was represented as a mere handful of fugitives, totally incapable of any military operations, and yet we find that he has been able to join Ney, with whom he was lately quarrelled, and Mortier, who is now noticed for the first time, and by a masterly movement of almost unexampled rapidity, to reach Placentia at a moment when Sir Arthur Wellesley supposed him wandering in the north of Spain, for it is evident, that he did not think him capable of making such a movement. It thus appears that the movements of Victor and Soult were the result of a deep and well concerted plan, to envelop and overwhelm the British army; a plan for the execution of which, they possessed every possible facility; as Soult, who was represented in such a deplorable state, is said to have accelerated his march by the extraordinary means of a number of light flat bottomed boats, which he conveyed in wagons, for the purpose of crossing rivers without waiting to seek for fords, or to make rafts while Sir Arthur was obliged to leave all his wounded behind him in Talavera, from the want of the ordinary means of conveyance. All impediments to the junction of Victor & Soult being thus removed by the retreat of the combined English and Spanish army across the Tagus, at Almaraz and Ponte de Alchebete, to the south side of the river, the plan of the campaign is completely deranged, if not indeed entirely defeated. Intelligence of the armistice in Germany, it is said, had reached the British head-quarters before Sir Arthur had commenced his retreat, but the advance of Soult was sufficient cause for the movement. The joint force of Soult and Ney being probably not short of 60,000 men, a retreat across the Tagus was indeed the only means of safety left open to him. According to the foreign papers which we gave yesterday, the English head quarters were on the 7th at Deleitosa, considerably to the south of the Tagus, and about 40 miles from Talavera. Private accounts add that he was continuing his retreat in the direction of Merida and Seville, and that part of his army had already reached Truxillo. We hope that these accounts may prove correct, as he will be in the best sources of supply, and sure of effecting his retreat to the coast. Stores of every kind, it is added, had been sent off to him from Seville, Cadiz, and various other towns, together with horses, mules and other means of conveyance, of which he was so much in want. Our readers will do us the justice to admit that we never amuse them with all the benefits that ministers expected to derive from a march to Madrid. We can therefore with the more satisfaction congratulate Sir Arthur Wellesley upon his fortunate escape—Had he been unfortunately provided with the means of transport to follow up the battle of Talavera, and pursue Victor, Soult would not have been at Placentia but at Talavera, and the combined army would have been caught in that trap, from which it has escaped by a rapid retreat and movement across the Tagus. The force that occupied Romana, Beresford, & Sir R. Wilson, being withdrawn from the Tagus, they will probably advance to threaten its rear. As the corps of Venegas, is on its march to Madrid, if it really has reached Aranjuez, it must be sacrificed if it advances, and it is scarcely possible that it should be able to effect its escape, and regain the mountains of Sierra Morena.
FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.
Talavera, July 29. The British army which was in Portugal under gen. Wellesley, after having joined the insurgents under Cuesta, had marched against the first corps, hoping, with triple numbers to beat it, and effect its junction with the troops under Venegas. Already had the British flattered themselves with getting to Madrid; but the events that have passed during the three days that have elapsed, have a good deal deranged the plan of the campaign. His majesty, after the affair of the 28th, continued to pursue the enemy, who arrived on the fine position of Talavera, and entrenched themselves. His dispositions announced an intention of maintaining himself to the last extremity—yet, after having been vigorously attacked by the French army, having lost a part of his infantry and a whole regiment of cavalry, he abandoned his position. In these circumstances the French have proved as they
have often done, that whatever be the position, and number of their enemies, they can overcome all obstacles. The British and Insurgents sustained great loss—ours is not considerable. Gen. Latour Manbourg's division entered Talavera this morning. We have received news from Marshal Soult; he marched on the 25th in the direction of Placentia. We have letters from Santa Olalla of the 29th ult. at ten P. M. which mention the new victory gained over the united British, Portuguese, and Insurgents. The loss of the British is enormous. We took 800 prisoners, and a whole regiment of cavalry. This regiment was taken by one of ours, which opened its ranks to receive its charge and then cut off its retreat. The rest of the British column, which constituted the whole force of the enemy, is in full retreat.
Ranks of the Elbe, August 18.
We have no news from Austria that gives any certainty of war or peace, and the general opinion is, that the affairs of Turkey will also be decided in the Austrian Congress of peace, if it should really take place. The archduke Charles does not share in the sentiments of his brother the emperor Francis, who is said to be preparing to conclude peace at any sacrifice. The Archduke has on this account, resigned the chief command of the army, and not from indisposition. A Russian plenipotentiary was hourly expected at Schoenbrunn, from St. Petersburg.
Altona, August 18.
General Bellegarde has taken the command of the Austrian army; general Hiller, and other generals will act under him. The archduke Ferdinand is arrived in Bohemia, with his corps. The king of Bavaria has granted an indemnity to the insurgents of the Tyrol, on condition that they lay down their arms within the space of eight days, the chiefs only of the insurrection are excepted.
Globe Office, three o'clock.
Captain Stanhope, aid-de-camp to Sir A. Wellesley, is just arrived with dispatches from him, at Lord Castlereagh's office. The dispatches are down to the 21st. The contents have not yet transpired.
SECOND EDITION.
Four o'clock.
The dispatches received from Sir Arthur Wellesley, now Viscount Wellington, are not dated the 21st, but the 30th inst. seven days after the date of the former dispatches. His head quarters were still at Deleitosa. It was his intention that Cuesta should have remained at Talavera to keep Victor in check, but as we stated in a former, the Spanish generals followed the British army leaving the sick and wounded behind. Victor and Soult had thus been enabled to join, and Lord Wellington was unable to attack them. The French it was thought meditated an attack upon Deleitosa, but the position was considered perfectly safe. It is currently reported this evening, that the ulterior objects of the Expedition to the Scheldt are abandoned, and that the greater part of the troops will immediately return.
LIVERPOOL, Sept. 2.
French and Dutch papers to a late date have been received, but they leave the question of peace and war on the continent as uncertain as ever. Various reports from different places, are contained in these papers, but they are none of them of official authority, and their tendency is extraordinary. On the whole we are inclined to think that a treaty of peace has been, or is about to be signed. The balance of opinions and authorities seem to be clearly on that side. Contrary to public expectation, not a syllable has lately appeared in the London Gazette respecting the expedition to the Scheldt, we are therefore entirely at the mercy of private letter writers who have taken their station at Walcheren, to report the progress of the operation and speculate upon their untimely success. One of these in an elaborate statement assures us that great uncertainty prevails respecting the practicability of executing any further operations against the enemy's fortresses. It would even seem that the enemy are resolved to attempt the recapture of Walcheren; and that Bernadotte has, with a view to that object, taken the command of Cadland, whither strong reinforcements of troops are continually sent. It is added that the Bologne flotilla is to be used for the purpose of carrying over the force destined for the defence. We are rather disposed to consider these preparations of the enemy as designed altogether for the defensive purposes. But at all events, the necessary precautions are taken, by having a strong force in the island, and by stationing guard ships, &c. to frustrate any attempt the enemy may make.
FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.
The letters which have been received are written by persons who affect to have a more perfect knowledge of the movements of the enemy than their inflated situation warrants. We are still inclined to think that further, and we trust effective operations up the Scheldt will be attempted. It is stated in the German papers, that the re-signation of the archduke Charles was in consequence of indisposition, and that the transfer of the command to prince John of Lichtenstein is only ad interim. An expedition against Guadalupe is said to be in contemplation. In the districts of Austria, where the late battles took place, 27 large villages remain deserted, seventeen of them are wholly razed, and the rest partially so. Many of the inhabitants remain in the woods and forests. Between twenty & thirty thousand wounded Austrians who remained in a field of rye, after the battle of the 6th ult. were burnt to death, in consequence of the rye accidentally taking fire. Some transports with wounded officers and men in our army, and several with French
prisoners, are arrived at Portsmouth from Portugal; after a very short passage. The garrison of Flushing arrived in the Downs, in several men of war on Friday.
LONDON, Aug. 31.
Last week William Constable and Richard Cockcroft two manufacturers, were apprehended at Hull, for preparing to leave this kingdom for America. The dominions of Hanover, to the amount of two millions of livres yearly, have been distributed by Bonaparte among his Generals and Ministers. Orders have been received at Woolwich to prepare artillery for another expedition. Letters have been received from Peterburgh to the 31st ult. and from Riga to the 11th inst.—By these we learn that the report of a general embargo in the harbours of Russia, and the Baltic, is erroneous. It is true, that an embargo has been imposed, but instead of being general, it is confined to native ships only, and its sole object is to prevent their falling into the hands of the powerful British force cruising in that sea.—With a licence from this country it is understood that any Russian ships would be permitted to take their departure. All the difficulties respecting the American vessels in the port of Riga, have been removed by the good understanding which subsists between the consignees and the official agents of the Russian government.
St. Petersburg, June 14.
The following decree has been received by a commercial house in New-York from the American Consul at St. Petersburg, with a request that it may be published for the information of merchants generally accompanied by the assurance that its provisions will be rigidly enforced; at the same time the government will give every indulgence and facility to the neutral vessel conforming thereto. "It is universally known how firmly Russia has endeavoured for ages to protect the trade of neutrals during the wars carried on by the European powers; it is notorious, with what courage that empire has sheltered the interests of trading nations from the fury of the war. True to these unalterable principles, we entertained a hope that, during the present rupture with England, the trade with allied nations would also offer no motive to them of a different direction. But the experience of the last year has convinced us that the enemy has found means to mislead neutral bottoms for the benefit of his trade, and we feel accordingly obliged to adopt the following measures, in order to prevent it in future.
"1. Every captain who enters any of our ports, is bound to prove his ship or vessel to be neutral property by the passport, the bill of sale, and the log-book and the cargo to be by the charter-party, the bill of lading, his own declaration and a certificate of the origin of goods, in cases where the captain or agent, and the ship has set sail from America or the W. Indies, or is bound for those ports. Should any of these documents be wanting, the captain shall immediately leave the port, and not be permitted to discharge his cargo.
"2. Ships in port, laden with goods which can be proved to be the production of an enemy's country, shall be detained the goods declared confiscated, and sold publicly in behalf of the crown. If the goods amount to more than one half of the cargo, not only the lading, but the ship shall be declared confiscated.
"3. A passport given by a neutral, friendly or allied power, will not be sufficient for the justification of the captain, if any circumstances appear which do not agree with the passport, or if the name of the ship mentioned in the passport does not agree with that found in the other papers of the ship, unless it clearly appears that the papers have been duly signed by persons having the proper authority, in which case the difference to the name shall not make against the captain.
"4. The passport given to the captain shall not be acknowledged legal, if the ship supplied with it shall not have been, at the time specified, in the port, in the name of which the passport is given.
"5. When any ship, supercargo, captain, and more than one third of the crew, shall be subjects of an hostile power, or when on board any ship there shall be no muster-roll, signed by the officers of the neutral place from whence the ship failed, the ship and cargo shall be declared confiscated to the use of the town, but the crews shall be set at liberty.
"If the passport produced by the captain shall be false, or forged, the ship and cargo shall be declared confiscated to the use of the crown, and the captain delivered over to justice to be proceeded against as a forger. The crew shall be set at liberty.
"7. When in any ship double documents of different import are found, the ship and cargo shall be confiscated to the use of the crown. If the captain shall endeavour to defend himself, but bring no sufficient proofs the ship shall be detained, and time, if requested, be granted to the captain to procure them from the place of his departure. If at the expiration of the time granted, he produces no proofs, the ship and cargo shall be confiscated.
"8. Every ship not built by a friendly power shall not be considered as neutral, unless it can be legally proved by its papers that it was bought or transferred before the declaration of War; if this does not appear, the ship and cargo shall be confiscated to the use of the crown.
"9. If the master or captain of a ship shall be a native of a hostile nation, and have passports from a neutral or friendly power, these shall not avail him, unless they prove that he became the subject of, and resided with a neutral power before the declaration of War. On the failure of this proof the ship and cargo shall be confiscated to the use of the crown.

LEXINGTON, OCTOBER 31, 1809.
NASHVILLE, Oct. 20.
To record the untimely end of a brave and prudent officer, a learned scholar and a scientific gentleman, this column of the Clarion is ushered to the world in black. On the night of the 10th instant MERIWETHER LEWIS, Esq. governor-general of Upper Louisiana, on his way to Washington City, came to the house of Mr. Grinder near the Indian line in this state--called for his supper and some spirits, of which he partook, and gave some to his servants. Mr. Grinder not being at home, Mrs. Grinder retired to the kitchen with her children, and the servants (after the governor went to bed, which he did in good order) went to a stable about three hundred yards distant to sleep--no one in the house with the governor--and some time before midnight Mrs. Grinder was alarmed by the firing of two pistols in the house--she called to the servants without effect--and at the appearance of day light the servants came to the house when the governor said he had now done for himself; they asked what, and he said he had shot himself and would die, and he requested them to bring him water, he then lay on the floor, where he expired about 7 o'clock in the morning of the 11th; he had shot a ball that grazed the top of his head and another through his intestines, and cut his neck arm and ham with a razor. When in his best senses, he spoke about a trunk of papers that he said would be of great value to our government. He had been under the influence of a deranging malady for about six weeks; the cause of which is unknown, unless it was from a protest to a draft which he drew on the secretary at war, which he considered tantamount to a disgrace by government.
In the death of Governor Lewis the public behold the wreck of one of the noblest of men--he was a pupil of the immortal Jefferson--by him he was reared--by him he was instructed in the tour of the sciences--by him he was introduced to public life, when his enterprising soul, great botanical knowledge, acute penetration, and personal courage soon pointed him out as the most proper person to command a projected exploring party to the N. W. coast of the American continent--he accepted the arduous command on condition that he might take Mr. Clark with him--they started; the best wishes of the American people attended them. After an absence of two years, to us of anxious solicitude, we were cheered with the joyful return of our countrymen. A new world had been explored--additional knowledge in all the sciences obtained, at a trifling expense of blood and treasure. The voice of fame echoed the glad tidings through the civilized world--the name of Lewis was the theme of universal praise--The national legislature voted a complimentary donation to the brave little band.
Scarcely had the governor time to pay his respects to a widowed mother, before he was again called into public service. The Up. Louisiana had been torn to pieces by party feuds, no person could be more proper to calm them--he appeared and all was quiet.
The limits assigned this notice do not admit of a particular detail of his executive acts--suffice it to say that the parties created by local circumstances and Wilkinson were soon united--the Indians were treated with and large purchases of valuable land made of them--The laws were amended, and judicious ones adopted--to the securing the citizens of the territory from a renewal of the scenes of 1806.
During the few leisure moments he had from his official duties, he was employed in writing the particulars of his celebrated tour up the Missouri--to complete which appears to have been the wish nearest his heart--and it gives us much pleasure, if we can feel pleasure in the present melancholy instance, to state that we have it from a source which can be depended upon, that he had accomplished the work in three very large volumes, with an immense number of paintings--and all was ready for the press. We hope these volumes may be the means of transmitting to posterity the worth of a man whose last act cast a gloom over the fair pages of his early life.
"The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow'r,
And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave
Await alike th' inevitable hour--
The paths of glory lead but to the grave."
DIED--Suddenly on Sunday the 30th of September, GEORGE W. NICHOLAS, son of the late Col. George Nicholas of this place, Midshipman on board the U. S. frigate Essex, off New-York. This youth had scarce attained his fifteenth year when blighted by the iron hand of death--Nature had been liberal to him of her most choice gifts--He possessed a pleasing simplicity of manners--a heart open as day to melting charity--a mind susceptible of the highest improvement, and a tone and energy of character, which must have led to the first eminence. No youth could have commenced his career under more auspicious circumstances--endowed with rare qualifications--connected with men enjoying the highest trusts within the gift of the people, the most flattering prospects opened to his view. How melancholy then the reflection that these well founded hopes were, in the short period of twelve hours, blasted by this untimely stroke. His short and fleeting moments were spent in innocence and ease, and he resigned himself to the arms of his Maker without a struggle or a groan. His friends
and relations have one melancholy, though not unpleasing source of satisfaction, in the reflection that he lived esteemed, and died lamented. His remains were interred the following day, with military honors, in Trinity Church, attended by a numerous and respectable concourse of his brother officers, and citizens.
His excellency Don Louis de Onis, minister from Spain, has proceeded on from Philadelphia to the City of Washington, to present his credentials to the president.
NEW JERSEY ELECTION.
The Democrats have carried their election throughout the state of New Jersey by a majority of two more in the legislature than they had last year.
SALEM, Oct. 11.
On Monday last, the hon. Mr. Pope, of the Senate of the United States from Kentucky, visited Marblehead. He was received in the full strength of their ancient hospitality, and accompanied through the town to the Fort. As no notice was given of his visit, he had an opportunity to be impressed with the true character of this patriotic town. From Capt. RANNIE, at the Fort, he received the most respectable attention, and he had the pleasure to find a Fort, in the most commanding situation, in the best arrangements and under the best discipline. It is to be hoped that a fortification so well begun, will have the generous assistance of our government to render it complete. The citizens multiplied their invitations on this occasion, and afforded the rich pleasure of seeing the confidence of the town in the government of the United States expressed in every possible manner, to one whom they considered as a worthy member of it. Mr. POPE upon leaving the town, in very affectionate language left on their minds the sure memory of their worthy guest.
BOSTON, Oct. 10.
INSURRECTION.
Hallowell, (Maine) Oct. 4.
"We are all in a most unhappy situation in this part of the country, for we are in a state of actual rebellion. You have heard no doubt of the murder committed some weeks back near this town by some squatters, and that eight men who did the act are in goal. For some time we were told they would be rescued; but the report was treated with contempt, until Friday night, Sept. 29th, between the hours 12 and 1 o'clock, when we were roused by the cries of murder and fire! Before I could get out of bed, a military notification was read to me to appear armed and equipped in three minutes at the gun-house. When I got into the street, every thing was in confusion. I found that the artillery had gone to Augusta; and part of our company, mounted on horse-back had also proceeded. We remained on our arms until day-light. Saturday, a strong guard turned out, and we were pretty quiet. On Sunday night the alarm commenced at 10 o'clock, and positive information was received of a considerable body of the enemy, within a few miles of Augusta; so we remained during the night. Monday I was drafted, and marched at 7 in the evening. Stood on guard six hours, on one of the roads about a mile from the settlement. Tuesday night we hoped that the force was so great we should have some rest, but it was the worst of all. About midnight the Augusta bell began to ring; (the signal for their being actually attacked) we could distinctly hear the guns. The small part of our company that had been left behind were immediately ordered to march--the alarm guns were fired to bring up the troops from Gardner. On our arrival, we found the guards had been driven in, except four; who were captured within a few rods of the Augusta bridge. They resisted until overpowered by a party of 50 or 60. In the fray some were wounded; unfortunately the main body at the goal were not strong enough to reinforce the party attacked; they were left to struggle for themselves. Major Weeks, who had rendered himself very conspicuous for his exertions in arousing the well affected part of the country to support the government and the laws, mounted his horse and rode to the bridge. He was seized, and dragged into the woods, and threatened to be hanged; but fortunately made his escape. A regular force of about 400 troops is kept in Augusta, and I am obliged to hire a man to be there, and at the same time to patrol the streets here, and prevent them from going to Augusta in case of alarm. It is supposed that the insurgents are from 1000 to 1500 strong, and their defection is rapidly spreading. General Sewall has sent on to the Government for orders."
AUGUSTA, [Maine] Oct. 6--The inhabitants of this town for about a week past, have been kept in a continual state of requisition and alarm by bodies of armed men, skulking in the neighboring woods disguised as Indians, and threatening to liberate the prisoners confined in our goal. Guards have been furnished for several nights past, by the voluntary service of the citizens and militia of this town and Hallowell. And yesterday, we understand, a regular application was made to the major general of the division, by the Sheriff and Civil Magistrates, for a detachment of 300 men, to guard the prisoners; they are already in motion, to rendezvous in this town, until the pleasure of the commander in chief shall be known.
The Resolutions adopted by the Citizens of Charleston, on the 4th of September, 1809, were immediately forwarded to the president of the United States, by the Chairman, David Ramsay, in a letter, of which the following is a copy.
Charleston, (S. C.) Sept. 5, 1809.
SIR, With great pleasure I obey the order of my fellow citizens of Charleston, in forwarding to you the enclosed copy of the Resolutions this day adopted by them. These Resolutions were prepared by a large committee, indiscriminately appointed; and afterwards unanimously adopted by a very numerous assemblage of citizens, of different political principles. The disavowal of the late negotiation by the British Ministry, though it calls for no gratitude, is likely to result in good. It has materially forwarded an extensive association for the promotion Domestic Manufactures on a national scale; it has induced a belief that the failure of past negotiations was not chargeable on the Administration of our government; and it has essentially contributed to the union of
our citizens. The names of parties, which heretofore have prevailed, are in a fair way of being exchanged for the honorable appellation of Americans.
With the most exalted sentiments of respect and esteem, I am your most obedient servant,
DAVID RAMSAY.
An answer from the President has been received, of which the following is a copy:
SIR--I have received the Resolutions of the Meeting of the Citizens of Charleston, on the 6th instant, covered by your favour of the same day.
These Resolutions comprise too many circumstances, enhancing the value of the patriotism they breathe, not to afford particular satisfaction.
However a difference of views may be indulged in subordinate questions of policy, a union of all, on such as evidently affect the sovereignty, the honour, or the essential interests of the nation, is a duty to which every denomination of citizens will rally, whole love of country elevates them above a spirit of party. Of this genuine patriotism, the meeting at which you presided, has given a conspicuous example.
The occasion which led to this proceeding of your fellow-citizens, is as much regretted as it was little to be anticipated. It could the less have been anticipated, as, besides the respect due to an arrangement solemnly entered into by a Plenipotentiary Minister, and not only tacitly but irrevocably carried into execution by the other party, the arrangement itself was of a nature to claim a ready sanction, even if, contrary to every ground of confidence, it had not been within the scope of previous instructions.
Whether the sequel may better correspond with the wishes and hopes of the U. States, founded on that attachment to peace which they have proclaimed, and on that exemplary justice which they have practiced, remains to be seen. In no event can the citizens of Charleston lose the merit of having evinced a unanimity and zeal, not less calculated to avvert, than to meet, aggressions prompted by a misconception of the American character. For the confidence which the meeting have been pleased to express in my faithful pursuit of the public good I feel all the obligations which it demands.

CHARLESTON, Sept. 30.
A contractor of his Britannic majesty, for Port Royal, Jamaica, has, we are informed, been for some time affidavits in his exertions here to obtain a supply of Peach Pine and Ranging Timber , for the use of the Navy Yard at laid place, without handling the exception of the non-intercourse law, which made their exportation impossible, without violating the law of our country; but as much as we detest the subject of the present paragraph, we feel a pleasure in recording the patriotism of our fellow citizens in withholding the sought for articles; as we are assured none could be found that would sacrifice their honor to the injury of their country, however tempting may have been the offer. As it is possible he may again attempt to dispose on the credulous, (should he not have taken his departure hence) we think this much necessary, that they may be on their guard, and to apprise our fellow citizens of other states, should he have the imprudence to persevere in his unlawful speculations.
City Gazette.
From the Connecticut Courant.
The war in Europe has lasted, with short intermissions, now about seventeen years; and more blood has been spilt in this period, than had been shed for several centuries past in the same place and time. We in this country have been all but spectators of the atrocities of the French revolution, of the massacres at Paris, at Versailles, and St. Domingo; and of the immense slaughters, from time to time, on the fields of battle; for although we have read the accounts of them over and over again, in our newspapers and other publications. We burn with desire to know the news from abroad, as well as at home; and when we hear of a great battle being fought, can hardly rest, till we know the particulars. If the battle happened to terminate to our liking, we rejoice and exult, notwithstanding the vast numbers slain and wounded; nay how much greater is the numbers slain provided that they belong to the adverse party, by so much greater is the joy at the victory.
It has not been uncommon to hear between neighbors a dialogue of the following nature: "Glorious news; have you heard it?" "What news?" "Why the army of-----has been beaten with the loss of twenty-five thousand men left dead on the field of battle." "Twenty five thousand men killed! that's good: but how many lost the conquerers?" "Only five thousand." "Would that this news may prove true."
Here let us pause, and view this affair with the eye of a moralist, or rather with a feeling of a christian. Thirty thousand fellow beings slain in one battle! when the sun rose upon them in the morning, they were well in health, and brisk in spirits; before the sun had set, their mangled ghastly corpses were heaped together over the ground. Thirty thousand immortal accountable beings all called together in an instant before the dead tribunal! How sudden the summons! how solemn the trial! how few of them prepared to meet it! The most of those poor fellows were dragged into the service as an ox is drawn into the slaughter house; so that we cannot reasonably blame them; although the cause for which they fought were never so wrong.
Let us extend our view to the scenes of domestic grief, occasioned by this battle. It is reasonable to suppose that those men, on an average, left as many as four near relations each, to mourn their deaths. We have sometimes witnessed the overwhelming grief of a single family at the loss of one of its members, that have died abroad of sickness, or been swallowed up in the ocean, and have felt a degree of sympathy on such occasions. But here behold a hundred and twenty thousand mourners, lamenting at one and the same time, the fall of husbands, fathers, brothers and friends.
We will now come back to the field of battle. Over and above the consideration of the slain, we must bring into the account the wounded also, which in number usually exceed the former. See the bloody field! There lie thousands of dead; and there also lie thousand and thousands of mangled wretches, suffering the most excruciating pains, pouring out their groans, and calling upon God and man for mercy.
I well know that in the awful convulsions which now shake the world, our feelings cannot be neutral with respect to the issue of the contest between the warring nations. We are constrained to rejoice, and may innocently rejoice, when that side prevails which justly appears to be in the right. But the question is, whether, even though, victory declare for that party, which we believe to be supporting the better cause, we are not bound, nevertheless by the laws of humanity, not to say christianity, to commiserate deeply the wretched mass of sufferers; also, whether there is no need of special care, lest in contemplating the battle of warriors and armens rolled in blood so frequently as we do, and so unfeelingly as is often done, we lose the sympathies of our nature; and particularly that horror at individual bloodshed and murder which seems to be natural to the human mind.
When the people of France, rendered miserable by the oppression of the King, Nobility and Clergy, resolved to break the yoke that bore them down, several European princes combined together to rivet anew their oppressive chains. The object originally contemplated by the French people, was not the decapitation of their monarch, but the reduction of his enormous and overgrown power. This the king at first assented to: but several French emigrants having encouraged the Emperor of Germany in his preparation for the invasion of France, and the King being detected in an attempt to fly from his country, the people naturally concluded that his intention was to put himself at the head of the French emigrants and Austrian army, and to attempt the forcible subjection of his country . They accordingly seized and beheaded him. This procedure drew from the emperor of Germany, a circular to the different kings of Europe, inviting their co-operation in a plan which he had formed for the enslavement of the people of France, and the partitioning of their country of this coalition G. Britain became a member. The treaty of Pilnitz signed by Leopold, Prince Nassau, Count Florida Blanca, and Bichoffswerder was drawn up. The Duke of Brunswick invaded France, and began he work of desolation: the black flag was suspended from an eminence in Paris, as a signal that the nation was in danger, and the people rose en masse to resist the numerous assailants who threatened to overwhelm them. They fought, conquered, and drove back their invaders. Since that period, the career of the French has been uninterrupted. They have invaded those nations who formerly threatened their existence, and conquered those who strove to conquer them. At a former period of the English history, the British invaded the French empire, and for a great length of time did the monarch of England style himself "King of G. Britain, France and Ireland." But the political current has changed its course. France has triumphed over all her enemies, and now threatens the invasion of England.
The justice or injustice of one nation's overrunning another, is a separate subject of enquiry. France was formerly overrun by the Germans, and in later times, Poland has been partitioned by the Russians, Austrians and Prussians. It would not be wonderful if France should attempt upon England, what England had formerly attempted upon her. But does it follow that if this should be the case, we are to permit the English to plunder our commerce and seize upon our property? If they capture American vessels, will the owners of those vessels agree to the principles that they have a right to appropriate them to their own use? If the situation of the two countries were reversed, and France should be threatened by her opponent, the idea that she had a right to make use of our property to pay her armies, and our seamen to fight her battles, would have been deservedly deprecated, and the man who advanced it would have been denounced as a traitor.

MISCELLANEOUS.
FROM THE PORT FOLIO.
ODE TO POVERTY.
THOU squalid, sharp-nos'd, lank-jaw'd, hawkeyed creature! What business hast thou squatting in my face?
Then why or wherefore dost thou come bewitching Each thing I love? to water turn my grog,
The dollars, that once jingled in my pocket, Now by thy curst art so scarce are grown,
But not alone of this am I complaining; Nature herself's so altered by thy power,
Tho' late with rural charms each thought delighting, The mads and milk pails, now no more can please;
The din around is louder than the city's, The pigs and geese are worse than carts and drays;
Where Schuylkill winds along in soft meanders I see no pebbly beach, no crystal wave;
And worse than all the rest, my friends don't know me; But hold their heads so high with haughty stare,
E'en Chloe, who erewhile so condescending, Would sit upon my knee with smiles so meek,
Old Noll who always was the true quintessence Of honest fellows—sprightly, gay, and clever,
His nose was comely once, and finely florid; His cheeks possessed of health the roseate hue,
Tim Staytpe too, who rigg'd me out to cozen The hearts of ladies fair, with witching looks,
E'en Tim himself is chang'd no more he capers! For me to cut the cloth, or wield the sheers;
I cannot say how ugly I think Tim is; I hate him as I do the doctor's pill!
But as I'm sick of thee, and don't love railing, And would not call thee an indecent name,
Yet, would it not vex even Job's meek nature? And I, thou know'st, possess not half his grace;
What business hast thou squatting in my face? CRITICISM—FROM THE PORT FOLIO.
