Thomas Muir's Trial,
For Sedition for sale at this office.

Messrs Hunter and Beaumont:
I, the other day, happened to meet with a few Philadelphia papers. The first thing that arrested my attention, was, the "STATE OF KENTUCKY," in large letters, staring me in the face. On further examination, I found a long letter to Timothy Pickering, with a postscript nearly as long as itself, in which our unfortunate state of Kentucky is belabored with the grossest abuse that ever flowed from the pen of malevolence. An unprincipled wretch, thinking to curry favor with men in office, and squeeze himself (probably) into employment, comes forward to calumniate a whole state. Devoid of virtue as the author of such infamous falsehoods must be, he aims at reducing the virtuous citizens of Kentucky to a level with himself. It is possible that a libel against a state, not very high in the good graces of the federal government, may not be deemed, by our executive, a crime of any consequence; but I trust there is another executive, in whose eyes detraction and malice will always appear criminal, and this base attack on Kentucky is, such so, doubtless, as telling disgracefully on any of the Privileged Order, a matter attempted to be strongly barred against by certain human laws. The time will come, when the Privileged Order of Timothy Pickering's, will either sink into oblivion, or if at all recognized, be held in sovereign derision and contempt—whilst the conduct of the citizens of Kentucky, when it comes to be perfectly known, and the false coloring given it by designing villainy, removed, will be universally approved by the real friends of America, and its constitution.
The whole letter is a precious morsel, and plainly shews that he thinks panegyric the high road to preferment. But it would trespass too much upon your paper, to insert any part of it but what relates to the state of Kentucky, room for which you must indulge me with.
After a vast deal said about French affairs, and contrasting the "enlightened" citizens of the United States with that "insignificant class" which constitutes the major part of the community, he makes his grand attack on Kentucky.
"That strenuous efforts have been made, and are ever making, to wean this mighty, fickle mass from the government of their country—on surely will not deny. If any doubt exists with less sedulous observers of the various portions of the union; let them peruse and meditate on the declarations made at Lexington, in Kentucky, in August last. Let them investigate the tenor and the tendency of the "POLITICAL CREED" of "GEORGE NICHOLAS," the most influential declaimer of that western frontier. Let them be instructed that this man is the near relative of EDMUND RANDOLPH.—Let it then be remembered, that from the same spot whence the government is now so rudely, so libelously assailed, the first open violation of our neutrality, by an American army, was organized and enforced. Let them further learn, that from this spot has been culled the native and avowed spy A; the French spy La Chaise; and the deluded agent C—of whose devotions to the Gallic regents the public have been recently apprized; and now let them give ear to the final appeal on this momentous subject."
"THE STATE OF KENTUCKY, from its composition the least federal, and thence the most hostile to the union, of any within the limits of the United States, consequently, the quarter from whence an open attack on their interior tranquility may be first apprehended."
From its position, in the actual state of our relation with other powers, the frontiers most vulnerable from without; and, under existing circumstances there, the least to be confided in as a barrier against Spain, or France, or the Indians."
Of the composition of its population, we are impelled—by the avowed defection of a considerable portion—to make the following analysis: the present inhabitants of Kentucky are the most heterogeneous, and the least known there , or at the seat of government, of any in a state so populous. It contains more men accustomed to the use of arms, and the service of war; and more adults in proportion to females and infants: besides, these men have few local or general ties, as federal Americans —because it has been the sole refuge, since the peace of all those delinquent and desperate individuals, whom other states have arraigned, expelled or disguised. To this source of augmentation, may be added another more copious and less odious, though equally unfriendly; that class of reduced persons, who forcibly, yet reluctantly abandoned the cultivated and abundant shore of the
* These, and a few other strong assertions which follow, respecting the state of the public mind in Kentucky, will be completely justified by several late instances of a large number of inhabitants (for I cannot permit myself to call them citizens) "of Clarke county" in that state; and by the Political Creed of George Nicholas."
Atlantic, to seek a shelter from the daz- zling blaze of their wealthy relations or rivals. It is the point of country, where both the defensive and offensive efforts of the union are the most pre- carious—our military force in men and arms, in engines and supplies of war, being totally incompetent to oppose, and, I fear capable of being gained over by such a body of insurgents—as we are taught from thence to consider at the will of their popular leaders.
To the active, turbulent and com- manding foes of the union, the pa- tient, timid, and the passive among them will be readily allied; if not o- penly to resist—at least, by their inacti- vity, to thwart and embarrass the o- perations of government. The dread of immediate ruin, the prospect of fu- ture gain, those potent directions of the human mind, will be separately and jointly employed to enforce their submission. For it is well known that the life of any individual may there be menaced (and if I am rightly in- formed even sacrificed to the resent- ment of certain privileged homicides ) without the smallest risk of punishment or prosecution, whilst their most lu- crative commerce reposes solely on the favor of a power, jealous to a pro- verb, of all its neighbours; and justly alarmed by the spirit of those on our western frontiers—When it is consider- ed, that Spain, though an ally, and I trust, disposed to reciprocate the good faith we have so religiously plighted and observed—is tyrannically controuled in her councils, by the single, but per- fidious and implacable enemy of the U- nited States, we cannot too minutely scrutinize into the character & inter- ests of those of our citizens, who hold the keys of our territory, & what must be the sensation of a loyal member of this empire, when, on the most impor- tant bulwark of our national defence, one single solitary voice is heard to utter an opposition to acquiesce, un- der the constitutional charter of the federal union, with the acts of our na- tional administration!"
Here follows Clarke county resolu- tions, the political creed of George Nicholas, and a letter which he en- titles "a letter from the American spy A, to the democratic society of Ken- tucky."
The writer holds up the idea, in terrorem , I suppose, of his being a military man.—Viewing him in that light, he again shews what he would be at—In his introduction to the resolves, &c. is the following passage.
"It is considered by military men, as an important attainment in common warfare , to know the force, the position, and, above all, the projects of an enemy —It is therefore my wish to secure this advantage for our government, in the promised revolt of Clarke county; I say promised revolt , since the laws have been passed, which revolters stand pledged to resist."
He here pretty plainly tells the Secretary of state—An army ought to be sent against Ken- tucky—I am a soldier—and think myself entitled to a share in the command.
And is it come to this? Are those meetings which are sanctioned by the constitution,—and resolutions, the intent of which is to save if pos- sible, the constitution from future violation, stigmatized as acts of hostility?
Even so it is!—but what avails it all?—KEN- TUCKY! In vain the Harpy Claws is extended over thee— Vulture seeks to glut his voracious appetite in vain—Entrenched behind the consti- tution , thou shalt still continue to flourish, in despite of the blushing eye of northern jealousy —the base suggestions of designing Sycophantic Plac Hunters , or the out-stretched hand of ra- pacity, which fain would fatten on the spoils.

POSEN, (Germany) August 7.
From Salonica, situated at the end of the gulf of the Archipelago, Buonaparte, to join Passawan Oglou, in Bulgaria, may pass the Stry- mon, and free mount Hamus, on the other side of which is Sophia. Then he will have the Da- nube before him, and nothing can arrest his progress to Widen. That if (which is not so probable) his designs are against Constantinople, his fleets may follow him along the northern coasts of the Archipelago. In either case, there is no fortress to oppose him, and there is nothing to prevent Buonaparte from forming a Greek Republic, of the west part of European Turkey, comprising Candia and the islands in the Archipelago. This project seems bold, but is worthy of him who formed it, and those who are employed in the execution of it. The ma- ritime powers are not in a state to prevent it. The success of this plan, will establish a Repub- lic favorable to France, and which will menace the states of the House of Austria. Then the expedition of Buonaparte, which has caused so much speculation, will be developed.—If hosti- lities should recommence, it will afford France the means of attacking Austria, or at least of disturbing it; at all events, it will carry back knowledge and liberty to their original country.
We are aware of all the objections which may be made to this magnificent plan. We are aware that he may bring down the Austrians, the Russians and the Turks upon him; but the foresight of these powers have already appeared
defective. If France joins the intrepid Passa- wan Oglou, as is now supposed, then the whole is explained, and every thing is possible.
BOSTON, November 6.
Latest from the Mediterranean.
On Saturday Capt. Elkins arrived at Salem from Naples, via Gibraltar. Sailed from the former place, August 15, from the latter September 15. The English ambassador at Naples had received a letter from Admiral Nelson, announcing the landing of Buona- parte at Alexandria; and his (Nel- son's) intention of putting into Syra- cuse in Sicily to resist. The extraor- dinary circumstance of Nelson's mis- sing Buonaparte had created rumors, that he had been bribed by the French; but it is highly improbable that the hero of Cape St. Vincents, and the brave but unfortunate commander of the expedition to Teneriffe, would blast his laurels by so infamous a deed. The neutral ports in Italy had been officially declared open to the English notwithstanding the arbitrary man- dates of Buonaparte.
NEW-YORK, November 19.
From the gaol in which by a just sentence he is confined, Lyon of Ver- mont has written to his friend, Mason, of Virginia, a long and most piteous account of his trial and condemnation, and imprisonment—from which we extract the following:
"The indictment consisted of three counts; the first for having maliciously &c. with intent &c. written at Phila- delphia a letter, dated the 20th of June, and published the same at Wind- sor, in the newspaper called the Ver- mont Journal, containing the words following:
"As to the Executive, when I shall see the efforts of that power bent on the promotion of the comfort, the hap- piness and accommodation of the peo- ple, that executive shall have my zeal- ous and uniform support; But when- ever I shall, on the part of the executive, see every consideration of the public welfare swallowed up in a continual grasp for power; in an unbounded thirst for ridiculous pomp, foolish adu- lation, and selfish avarice, when I shall behold men of real merit daily turned out of office, for no other cause but in- dependency of sentiment; when I shall see men of firmness, merit, years, abi- lities and experience, discarded in their applications for office, for fear they possess this independence, and men of meanness preferred, for the ease with which they take up an ad- vocate opinions, the consequence, of which they can know but little of; when I shall see the sacred name of re- ligion employed as a state engine to make men hate and persecute one an- other, I shall not be their humble ad- vocate.
The second count consisted of having maliciously, &c. and with intent, &c. published a letter said to be a letter from a diplomatic character in France, containing two paragraphs in the words following:
"The misunderstanding between the two governments (France and the United States) has become extremely alarming; confidence is completely destroyed, mistrust, jealousy & a dis- position to a wrong attribution of mo- tives are so apparent, as to require the utmost caution in every word and acti- on that are to come from your execu- tive: I mean if your object is to avoid hostilities. Had this truth been un- derstood with you before the recall of Monroe, before the coming and se- cond comming of Pinckney; had it guided the pens that wrote the bully- ing speech of your president, and stu- pid answer of your senate, at the o- pening of congress in November last, I should probably have had no occasion to address you this letter.
"But when we found him borrowing the language of Edmund Burke and telling the world that al- though he should succeed in treating with the French, there was no depen- dance to be placed on any of their en- gagements; that their religion and morality were at an end; that they had turned pirates and plunderers, and it would be necessary to be perpetual- ly armed against them, though they were at peace: we wonder that the answer of both houses had not been an order to send him to a mad house. In- stead of this the senate have echoed the speech with more servility than e- ver George the third experienced from either house of parliament."
The third count was for aiding and abetting, &c. in publishing the same.
WILMINGTON, (N. C.) Nov. 8.
When the Editor of the Wilming- ton Gazette informs his subscribers of his having been one of the many un- fortunate people who were deprived of their habitations by the late fire in this town, no other apology will be required for the non-appearance of the Gazette last week.
The dreadful calamity whereby three-fourths of what remained of the town of Wilmington after the fire of April last, has been reduced to ashes happened on Wednesday, the 31st ult. At about three o'clock in the morning of the said day, flames were discover- ed issuing through the roof of a tavern on Front Street, adjoining Mr. Urqu- hart's buildings at the corner of Dock Street, occupied by Mr. Parish. The wind blowing very fresh, the fire was rapidly communicating to the neigh- bouring houses and stores in every di- rection, and in a few hours all the houses from the south side of Market Street to Dock Street, including those on the south side of the latter, as far as Mr. Muters (which escaped) east- ward from the river to Third Street were consumed excepting a few houses on the hills.
The conflagration became so exten- sive before the inhabitants were in a capacity to make any effort to check its fury, that very soon almost all hope of saving any part of the town was abandoned, and the exertions of individuals were chiefly employed to rescue such of their movables as time would allow of, from destruction. The court-house being, unfortunately situated in the centre of the small square formed by the intersection of Market and Front Streets, upon the preservation of that building (which is exactly calculated to convey the flames to the four quarters of the town) depended, whether any thing of the whole town should remain but a heap of rubbish—Here at length great efforts were made, and finally that edifice, and that small remnant of this once flourishing place, from the north side of Market-Street was almost miraculously preserved. The loss sustained by the proprietors of the buildings destroyed, cannot easily be computed. The number of dwelling and ware houses is from one hundred and thirty to one hundred and fifty.
Many of the families who have lost their habitations will be at a loss for accommodation and probably must find refuge in the country. The poor- er class will suffer severely. Much goods were saved, but the loss in that particular, is no doubt very great.
RICHMOND, November 20.
To the Printer of the Philadelphia Gazette.
Deborah Logan requests you to give the following a place in your pa- per.
Stenton, November 5, 1798. Extract of a letter from Dr. Logan, dated Bourdeaux, Sept. 9, 1798, to his wife.
"I have the pleasure to inform you that I embark this day on board the ship Perseverance for Philadelphia, and shall bring with me dispatches for our government, calculated to restore that harmony, the loss of which has been so sensibly felt by both countries. All American vessels in the harbours of France have been released—all Ame- rican prisoners have been set at liber- ty; and the most positive assurances have been made that France is ready to enter on a treaty for the amica- ble accommodation of all matters in dispute.—American citizens are treat- ed with respect in every part of France, and the appearance of a re- conciliation between the two repub- lic affords the highest satisfaction to all classes of citizens in this country, &c. &c.
"GEORGE LOGAN."
The warhawks will be now more than ever disfracted , the publication of a letter from Dr. Logan, is a cruel blow to ambitious hopes, to the candi- dates for contracts, commissions, and commissary-ships.
A merchant a few days ago hear- ing the vociferous denunciations of a ministerial demagogue, against Dr. Logan, shrewdly observed—if what you say is true he saved my ship and 40,000 dollars! (Phi. paper.)
NEWARK, November 6.
We are informed by a gentleman from Vermont, that Gen. Fletcher,

(Sheriff of Windham county) on his way to Vergennes, the seat of government, was attacked, on the West side of the mountain, by a party of Lyon's deluded wretches, who attempted to disarm his federal Badge; but being armed with a well loaded hunting whip, he resolved to defend himself, for which purpose he aimed a stroke at one of them, which killed him on the spot. The general we are told, has surrendered himself for trial.
PAILADELPHIA, November 9. Jonathan Dayton, has been elected senator of the United States, of the United States, in the place of Mr. Stockton, who declined being considered a candidate.
From Vergennes (Vermont) October 26. "Both houses of the legislature, with but five dissenting voices have concurred in the amendment of the federal constitution, proposed by Massachusetts, for precluding foreigners from a seat in congress. This, I presume, will afford you and our other friends sincere pleasure."
The general assembly of Connecticut have concurred with the resolution of Massachusetts proposing an amendment to the constitution of the United States, to exclude aliens born, a seat in the National Legislature.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at New-Orleans to his friend in this city, dated August 26, 1798.
By a late arrival from Mexico, the Viceroy has forwarded orders to our Don, desiring him to send information immediately what assistance will be necessary to preserve this colony, it being his majesty's will that every support should be given both to the government and subjects, which induces me to believe they fear an invasion from you, and by this means, suppose to gain the attachment of the colonists, who I believe, are not much disposed that way, and who would make little or no resistance in case of the colony being attacked.
Troops are daily leaving this for the limits, and the inhabitants of the town are obliged to perform military duty.
The Spaniards are preparing an expedition against the English settlements of Honduras, where, if numbers can effect it, they cannot fail being successful.
November 13. DR. LOGAN.
We have the pleasure of informing the public that Dr. Logan arrived in this city, on the evening of Saturday last, after a tedious passage of two months from Bourdeaux.
Not finding Mr. Pickering in Philadelphia, he set off on Sunday afternoon to meet him at Trenton, with dispatches to our government, which were handed to Dr. Logan by Mr. Skipwith, our consul general at Paris, to be forwarded to our secretary of State. These dispatches are from the French directory, and from the friendly arrangements with regard to American property, which took place in France before Dr. Logan left that country, we have the fullest assurance they contain professions the most pacific, on the part of the French republic towards the United States, and such as can leave little doubt of the sincerity of the French directory in wishing to avoid a rupture with this country.
Any measure calculated to restore harmony between the two republics, whether brought about, by the friendly offices of an individual, or by the negotiations of public agents, cannot fail to be acceptable to every American, who has the true interests of his country at heart.
Lexington, December 12.
The plague rages at Constantinople, (Turkey in Europe) with great violence and mortality.
The treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, between France and Switzerland, has been published. The articles (of which six have appeared) say—that there shall be peace, understanding and amity, between the two Republics—that whatever aids shall be called for, shall be mutually repaid—that the independence and government of Switzerland, shall be guaranteed by France, and her artillery replaced—that the Bilhoprick, Basle, and the principality of Purerai, shall
be opened through Switzerland: and there shall be a free navigation from the lake of Geneva, to the Rhine, and from Geneva to that part of the Rhine which is navigable.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
THE WINTER WALK.
By DR. JOHNSON.
BEHOLD, my fair, where e'er we rove, What dreary prospects round us rise— The naked hill, the leafless grove, The hoary ground, the frowning skies!
Nor only through the wasted plain, Stern Winter, is thy force confest'd— Still wider spreads thy horrid reign, I feel thy power usurp my breast.
Enlivening hope and fond desire, Relign the heart to spleen and care; Scarce frighted love maintains her fire; And rapture faddens to despair.
In groundless hope, and causeless fear, Unhappy man! behold thy doom; Still changing with the changeful year, The slave of sunshine and of gloom.
Tir'd with vain joys, and false alarms, With mental and corporeal strife; Snatch me, my STELLA, to thy arms, And screen me from the ills of life.
A clergyman, who was famous for his witticisms, one day as he was riding, was overtaken by two justices of the peace;—One of them said, 'Sir, you are very unlike your master; he rode upon an ass, but you ride upon a good horse.' The clergyman replied, 'Necessity has no law—I cannot get an ass to ride upon, for they are all made justices of the peace.'
