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, 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 fresh 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 colicky pains—at the stomach, and severe head ache—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, Asthmas, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumption. To parents who may have children afflicted with the Whooping-Cough—This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time, entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
Lee's Genuine Essence and Extract of Mustard. A safe and effectual remedy for acute and chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Palsy, Lumbago, Numbness, White-Swelling, Chilblains and Sprains, Bruises, Pains in the Face and Neck, &c.
Lee's Grand Restorative proves by long experience to be unequalled in the cure of Nervous Disorders, Consumption, Lowness of Spirits, Inward Weakness, &c. Twenty thousand cures have been performed by Lee's Sovereign Ointment for the Itch which is warranted an infallible remedy by one application, without mercury 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, Tettars, and all Eruptions of the Skin, rendering it soft and smooth.
Lee's Genuine Eye-Water, an effectual remedy for all diseases of the Eye.
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 "P. Lee and Sons," if particular attention is not paid to the signature, it is probable that disappointment will be the consequence.

News from all nations lumbering at his back."
LEXINGTON, OCTOBER 3, 1809.
TO THE PUBLIC.
THE subscriber having disposed of his printing and book-binding establishment, to Mr. Thomas Smith, takes this method of announcing that event to his friends and the public in general. In determining on this measure, he has consulted his own interest. For seven years past he has been a faithful servant to the public; during which time he has endeavoured to discharge his editorial duties with advantage to them and himself. He has endeavoured to avoid wounding the feelings of those who have differed from him on national politics; at the same time, never withholding his own sentiments on those subjects. In short, he has endeavoured to publish an impartial, useful Gazette. How far he may have succeeded in those attempts, is not for him to say; but the uniform extensive patronage he has received, he conceives the best criterion to form an opinion—and this has been truly flattering; nor does he regret any thing more than the necessity for the measure he has taken. But the present low prices of printing, rendered it necessary that every cent earned, should be received—this has not been the case, and he yielded to the imperious calls of creditors.
From his knowledge of Mr. Smith, the subscriber feels no hesitation in recommending him to the notice of the public, as a young gentleman of industry and correct deportment; and with the change of Editors which is about to take place, he has no doubt but the patrons of the Gazette will be entirely pleased.
The Kentucky Gazette will continue to be forwarded to subscribers, unless arrearages are paid and the contrary directed, until the first day of January, and charged to that day, at which time the entire interest of the subscriber will determine, as it does to advertisements this day. All future insertions will of course be payable to his successor.
The subscriber will now devote a short time to the settlement of his accounts. All those indebted to him will therefore see the necessity of discharging their accounts immediately; and those to whom he is indebted will present their accounts for payment.
DANIEL BRADFORD.
HAVING purchased the Establishment of the KENTUCKY GAZETTE of Mr. Daniel Bradford, the subscriber wishes to inform the public that it will be continued on the same principles by which it has been governed, when under the direction of Mr. B. The subscriber does not wish to raise the expectations of the public, by making ostentatious promises of what he intends to do. He will only observe that no exertion shall be wanting to render the Kentucky Gazette deserving a continuance of the liberal patronage which it received when in possession of its former proprietor. He wishes to be judged by his works only; and whenever he shall be found wanting in his duty, it will be in the power of the public to apply the proper corrective.
Those subscribers who do not wish to transfer their patronage to the present proprietor, will be so good as to forward an intimation to that effect before the first of January next.

We are authorised to say that American vessels permitted by the British government to go to Holland under Mr. Erskine's arrangement, will not be permitted by that government to bring return cargoes.—Dalt Am.
RHODE ISLAND.
By a gentleman from Providence last evening, we learn that the semi-annual election for Representatives in Rhode-Island has given the Republican a majority of two in the House.
Vermont.
In the town of Hartford in Vermont, the republican gain last Tuesday was 40 votes—general information speaks favorable as to the result of the state elections.
Extract of a letter from a merchant at Norfolk, (Va.) to his correspondent in New London, dated 20th August.
"In the paper of last evening, two ships were advertised for, to load for England. A number of merchants are determined to load their ships and send them direct to England, giving the risque bonds, which they will forfeit, and protest against the President's proclamation. Mr. Faze-well, a gentleman much celebrated here for his law knowledge, has given his decided opinion that the Proclamation is illegal."
BY LAST NIGHT'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 18, (noon.)
By the ship Francis, Taylor, in 38 days from Greenock, the editors of the New York Gazette have received London papers to the 6th of August, and Greenock papers to the 10th, which contain the subsequent extracts.
We are verbally informed, that the general opinion in England was, that Peace would soon take place between France and Austria.
LONDON, August 4.
Reports of a flag of truce having arrived, and of Moniteurs having been received by government to the 1st, containing the preliminaries of peace between Austria and France, prevailed last night and this morning—they are unfounded—no flag has arrived and no Moniteurs to that date have been received by government. The arrival however, of a flag of truce with some overture from Bonaparte, will not at all surprize us. The private letters from Holland state that the official surrender of Finland, and the shutting the account of the preliminaries having been signed between Austria and France has been received—the following has been given as the substance of them, with what ten o'clock, the van-guard of the Austrian truth we have not yet been able to ascertain—Bonaparte, during the progress of mischievous was noticed by the firing of cannon, declared that he would place the non."
kingdom of Bavaria in such a situation as not to have any thing to fear in future from the power of the court of Vienna.—Upon that declaration he has acted. He is said to have wrested from Austria all her territories on the right bank of the Danube, and to have extended the Bavarian territories to Vienna on the east and following a line along the frontiers of Hungary to the Danau, to have ascended to the source of that river. A line is then described to Innsbruck and Bregenz, and this new accession of territory is given to Bavaria. All the territory to the south of the Danau, include part of Corinthia, Carinthia, Istria, Trieste and Fiume is added to the kingdom of Italy—the Tyrol is ceded by Bavaria to France.—Württemberg and Baden are to get some accession of territory in Franconia—Bohemia and Moravia are to be retained by the house of Austria, as well as Hungary—Russia is to obtain an increase of territory in Austrian Poland—Saxony is also to have an increase. This is reported to be the substance of the preliminaries. We do not believe that any copy of them has been received, and indeed the intelligence of their having been signed, rests solely upon the authority of private letters from Holland. We should have expected that an event of such importance would have been announced to us by rejoicing upon the French coast, and by some bulletin conveyed to us in the usual way—but for our own parts, we are not very anxious for the arrival of the preliminaries. The whole business of humiliation and destruction was done by the armistice—the rest is mere matter of course—Znaim, Presburg and Gratz would not have been given up—the Tyrol would not have been abandoned to the vengeance of the conqueror, had not Austria been prepared to make almost any sacrifices that were demanded of her.
August 5.—Still are we without any official intelligence from the expedition, but we are happy to lay before our readers the following letter, which informs us of the surrender of Flushing and the whole island of Walcheren.
Harwich, August 4.—Intelligence has just been brought from the expedition, by a foreign vessel which left the Dutch coast last Wednesday night. She had been with the expedition ever since Saturday last; on that day, about one P. M. she was in the midst of our expedition, which was about two miles distant from Flushing. They were then at anchor. Three guns having been fired at the British admiral's ship, the whole of the fleet weighed and stood closer in. The foreign vessel then set sail for another part of the Dutch coast more to the northward, where she remained until Wednesday night, when she received a short note by a fishing vessel, directing her to return in all haste to England, and adding that "Flushing had been taken by the English." By Flushing, the master of the foreign vessel means the whole island of Walcheren. The above intelligence comes from a source that may be relied on.
The Phoenix, capt. Walker, arrived yesterday at Barking, from the vicinity of the island of Walcheren. This vessel quitted its station on Tuesday morning last, at which time the captain had a view of the expedition, which was extended in a line from Flushing to Campvere. The Phoenix did not approach near enough to permit any accurate observation of what was going on; but on Sunday night the Dutch were observed to have lighted alarm fires along the coast. A heavy firing was kept up the whole of Monday, and towards the evening shells were thrown from various points. Capt. Walker not deeming it prudent to approach the fleet, left the scene of action early on the following morning, without learning any further particulars.
An account, says the Kentish Gazette, brought by some persons who left the Dutch coast on Tuesday last, and were landed on Wednesday afternoon near Whitstable, states, (as we mentioned yesterday) that our troops were in possession of the island of Shehewen, and that a part of the expedition was anchored in the Roompot, stretching from thence to Zirrichzee, the capital of the island, by which they would command the eastern branch of the Scheldt.
At a late hour this morning, we received correspondents of the 25th and 26th ult. Berlin papers of the 22d, and Prague of the 17th. They contain the following intelligence:
"The Maine, July 20.—The emperor of Austria is still at Olmutz.
"The head-quarters of the archduke Charles are at Eylau.
"On the 17th, fresh cavalry entered Nuremberg.
"Orders have been issued in Hannover to arrest all Austrian deserters, and particularly all military persons and other foreigners, who have no passports."
Another letter, same date.
"A congress of peace is spoken of to be held in Moravia or Vienna. Hamburg correspondent."
"The emperor Francis, according to some accounts, is gone from Olmutz to Hungary.
"With respect to the statement in the Strasbourg Gazette, the archduke Charles had himself gone to the head-quarters of the emperor Napoleon, we hear no further of it."
"Berlin, July 22. Every thing is like-ly to be arranged between Sweden and Russia. The conditions of the peace are not at all surprize us. The official surrender of Finland, and the shutting the account of the preliminaries having been signed between Austria and France has been received—the following has been given as the substance of them, with what ten o'clock, the van-guard of the Austrian truth we have not yet been able to ascertain—Bonaparte, during the progress of mischievous was noticed by the firing of cannon, declared that he would place the non."
"Dresden, July 27. On the 14th, about ten o'clock, the van-guard of the Austrian troops entered this city. To-day the Austrian army was noticed by the firing of cannon, declared that he would place the non."
"Moravia, July 24.—Prince Rosenberg was the cause of the loss of the battle of the 6th, as he allowed himself to be surrounded. Among the wounded Austrian Generals, are Mayer, Lederer, Rosenberg, Prince Cobourg, and Bentheim—the archduke Charles had a shot in the knee. The town of Znaim was burnt."
"Constantinople, June 1.—General Gaudanne, the French ambassador at the Persian Court, is arrived here—and has already had several conferences with the Reis Effendi. It is not doubted that the Porte will soon break with England."
August 6.—We are still without any arrival from the expedition; nothing had reached the admiralty at two o'clock, at least so it is there said. The Deal letter of last evening's date, in a postscript, says, "No arrival yet from the Expedition." The anxiety of the public on this subject is very great.
Yesterday an Austrian messenger arrived with dispatches to prince Stahremberg, who immediately after communicated their contents to Mr. Canning. We hear that they are dated the 9th ult. and announce the necessity to which the Imperial army was reduced of suing for a suspension of hostilities. It was last night confidently stated that these dispatches represent the overture intended to be made to the enemy, as being merely for the establishment of a truce, and expressing a hope, that the successful co-operation of England in the war, might enable the emperor Francis to renew hostilities.
From our correspondent at Baltimore.
Captain Farrel, of schooner Valona, from Salonica, had arrived this morning, informs, that on the 4th of August he put into Ceuta for water. On that day there was a great deal of firing there and at Gibraltar, when captain F. was informed by a Spanish officer, who came on board from the fort, was on account of a victory obtained over the French by the combined Spanish and British armies, that they had re-taken Madrid and taken and killed 40,000 of the French. Captain F. being from the Levant, was allowed but little communication with the shore, and none with the town.—Relf's Gazette, Sept. 13.
MR. SMITH.
You will much oblige the STORK by giving the following a place in the Gazette, which he hopes will be the last he will be under the necessity of troubling the public with.
Lexington, October 3.
THE ORIGINAL FROG, TO HIS DEAR MR. HARDINGE—GREETING.
[Set to Music—Tune, "Battle of the Kegs."]
HARDINGE my dear,
I'm hurt to hear,
That my first publication
Turn'd out so bad,
And made you mad:
'Twas not my expectation.
For burn my shirt,
If I wound hurt,
Or wound your tender feelings.
For to do that,
I'll pledge my hat,
I would not for ten shillings.
'Twas the trustees
I meant to squeeze,
Because they're always taxing
The mountebanks,
For playing pranks:
Thus strolling players vexing.
Such things as those
They do impose,
On ev'ry thing that's funny;
But they now see
By your congee
That you have sav'd your money.
They have allieg'd
Your word was pledg'd,
And honor as a token;
But promises,
Like pie and cheese,
Were made just to be broken.
I do declare
Your conduct fair,
As I've made observation;
It was correct,
As would expect,
From one in the same station.
There was some doubt
You had about
The justice of their claim, sir,
Which he'ng remov'd
You quickly show'd
Back towards Drury Lane sir.
Here many are,
My brothers fair,
Profoundly read in law, sir,
Whom I heard say
The other day,
They would not give one straw, sir,
For all the law
They ever saw
That's in the trustees favor,
To tax a man,
(They never can)
That is like you so clever.
But black-smiths, coopers,
And counter-hoppers,
With those that use broad axes,
Bricklayers, hatters,
Goldsmith's and potters,
Ought all to pay their taxes.
(The trustees ought
To work for naught,
And still be quite contented
To take abuse
From those that choose,
It can't be well prevented.)
But men so funny
As you dear honey,
Ought here to have dominion
And rant and play
And never pay,
This is the Frog's opinion.
Now should I choose
To sing the news
That through the world's agoing,
Of bickering wars,
Deep cuts and scars,
With blood and filth a flowing;
But I mean home
At our own dome
The war which rages sorely,
'Tween Frogs and Stork
There's bloody work,
And desperate hurtly burly.
Who'll win the day
I cannot say,
Time has not yet determin'd;
If I would guess
I can't say less
Than Frogs seem much alarmed.
The last hard stroke
Our phalanx broke,
And left us much confounded:
The punning fellow
Sougl'd and tallow,
From Bull-Frog sorely wounded.
To Matthew, alias, Raccoon-skin,
Or the inspired Calf.
MIGHTY SIR,
The world never produced thy equal—a calf, the semblance of a man—a goose afflicted with the spleen—a poet sinking under his laurels—and a frog wallowing in his mire.
This night a calf, great Matthew, I will kill,
Learned in poetic lore and scientific skill;
His brain replete with poetry is set;
Indeed methinks he must be of your get.
His head a present for your study I will make—
Remember, Sir, you're learn'd in physic—do you take?
Why,ounds! this mighty empire scarce contains
A man so wise, and yet so lack of brains.
Hippocrates and Galen were but fools—
Dissection's laws they only taught in schools;
But you, great Sir, explore with eagle eyes
Nature's arcanum to the very skies.
And not content in common paths to jog,
You turn a Doctor to dissect a Frog.
A poet too forsooth—Appollo blush!
For thou art rival'd by a HEAD of MUSK.
Dear friend Matthew, curb the reins of thy Pegasus, or depend upon it his wings will be scorched.
JOSEPH HOSSTETTER.

MISCELLANEOUS.
THE DIAL. THIS shadow on the dial's face, That steals from day to day, With flow, unfeen, unceasing pace, Moments, and months, and years away; This shadow, which in every clime, Since light and motion first began, Hath held its course sublime; What is it? Mortal man! It is the scythe of time, It steals on only to the eye; A shadow only to the eye, Yet, in its calm career, It levels all beneath the sky; And still, through each succeeding year, Right onward with its power, Its stroke shall darken every hour, Till nature's race is run, And its last motion run, Nor only o'er the dial's face, The silent shadow from day to day, With flow, unfeen, unceasing pace, Steals months, and years away; From proud Palmyra's mouldering walls, From Egypt's obelisk towering o'er the sea, From every blade of grass that falls, For oh! where'er a shadow sweeps, The eye of Time destroys; And man at every footstep weeps O'er rev'rent joys; Life's flowers glitt'ring with the dews of morn, Fair for a moment, then forever flow; Ah! soon beneath the inevitable blow, I too shall lie in dust and darkness low. Then time, the conqueror, will suspend His scythe, a trophy, o'er my tomb, Whose moving shadow shall portend Each frail beholder's doom. O'er the wide earth's illum'd space, Though Time's triumphant flight be shewn, The truest index on its face Points from the church-yard stone.
HOGARTH'S LAST PAINTING.
A few months before the ingenious artist was seized with the malady which deprived society of one of its most distinguished ornaments, he proposed for his matchless pencil the work he has entitled A TAIL PIECE; the first idea of which is said to have been started in company while the convivial gals were circulating round his own table. "My next undertaking," said Hogarth, "shall be the end of all things." "If that be the case," replied one of his friends, "your business will be finished, for there will be an end of the painter." "There will be!" answered Hogarth, (lighting heavily) and, therefore, the sooner my work is done the better." Accordingly he began the next day, and continued his design with a diligence that seemed to indicate an apprehension he should not live till he had completed it. This, however, he did in the most ingenious manner, by grouping every thing which could denote the end of all things. A broken bottle; an old broom worn to the stump; the butt end of an old mallet; a cracked bell; a bow unstring; a crown tumbled in pieces; towers in ruins; the sign post of a tavern, called the World's End, tumbling; the moon in her wane; the map of the globe burning; a gibbet falling, the body gone, and the chains which held it dropping down; Phobus and horses dead in the clouds; a vessel wrecked; Time with his hour glass and scythe broken, and a tobacco pipe in his mouth, the last whiff of smoke going out; a play book opened, with Exeunt Omnes stamped in the corner; an empty purse; and a statue of bankruptcy taken out against Nature. "So far, so good," cried Hogarth; "nothing remains but this," taking his pencil in a sort of prophetic fury, and dashing off the limitude of a painter's pallet broken. "FINIS!" exclaimed Hogarth; "the deed is done! all is over!" It is remarkable, and little known, perhaps, that he died in about a month after finishing his TAIL PIECE, having never again taken the pallet in his hand.
THEATRICAL ANECDOTE.
The publication of a correspondence between Hopkins and Wild, "prompter to the monopolizers" of Dryden Lane and Covent Garden Theatres, in which the latter writes to the former, "if you have a full moon to spare, I wish you'd lend it to us for Thursday—I lend you some lightning that I can venture to recommend"—reminds us of a droll anecdote which we met with some years ago, and which we believe was handsomely turned into poetry, in some of the fugitive publications of the day. It became necessary to have a snow storm upon the stage, and a reasonable quantity of white paper had been prepared and manufactured into flakes for the occasion. But either because a full form of white would be inconsistent with the economy of the theatre or that it was deemed proper to darken the storm towards its conclusion, there was held in reserve a small magazine of dark coloured snow, made of brown paper, which the little Jove upstairs had mislaid or forgotten. It snowed very well for a little while, but ceased too soon. "The prompter" called aloud for more snow. Little Jupiter answered that his stores were exhausted. The man on the earth then called to the man in the sky, "Is the white snow all out? Then, d—n me, snow brown."
At a late performance of the Turnpike Gate , when a dog came upon the stage, a lady was asked by an officious lobby loungers, who had just then strolled into the same box, if she ever saw a dog upon the stage before. No, replied she, but I have seen many an impertinent puppy in the boxes.
TO FARMERS.
A most excellent method of making butter as now practised in England, which effectually prevents its changing and becoming rank. The day before churning, scald the cream in a clean iron kettle, over a clear fire, taking care that it does not boil over. As soon as it begins to boil, or is fully scalded, strain it, when the particles of milk which tended to sour and change the butter, are separated and left behind. Put the vessel into which it was strained in a tub of water, in a cellar, till next morning, when it will be
churning, and become butter in less quarter of the time required in the common method. It will also be hard, with peculiar and additional sweetness, and will not change. The labor in this way is less than the other, as the butter comes footier, and saves so much labor in working out the butter-milk. By this method good butter may be made in the hottest weather.

Patent Hemp & Flax breaking Machine.
THE subscribers have purchased the right for the state of Kentucky of Thomas Colhoon's Patent for a machine, for breaking hemp and flax. One of those machines is now in operation on Maddox Fisher's farm, near this place, and is found admirably to answer the purpose for which it was intended. A machine with two breaks, is worked by one horse with ease, and requires six hands to attend it. One of the great advantages of this machine is, that it can be attended by women or boys, instead of men, and that a woman or boy can clean double the quantity of hemp or flax, which the most able-bodied man could do in the same time with a common hand-break. A farther account of the machine is deemed unnecessary, as it is presumed that those desirous of purchasing rights, will wish to satisfy themselves by seeing it in operation. Individual rights at twenty dollars, or rights for whole counties, may be procured by applying to either of the subscribers. Maddox Fisher, Joseph Boswell, David Sutton, John Fisher, Geo. Lawes.
HAVING been called upon to state our opinion
of a machine for breaking hemp and flax, which we saw in operation on Mr. Maddox Fisher's farm, we hesitate not to declare that we view it as an important acquisition to our state, and therefore recommend it to the attention of every farmer who cultivates either hemp or flax. The construction of the machine is simple and does not appear likely to get out of order. We suppose that one of those machines having two breaks and moved with ease by one horse, might be built for about 30 or 40$.

A CAUTION.
SOME time ago I assigned to a certain William Sparks, a note on William Sanders of Fayette County, for the sum of one hundred dollars, at the time of the assignment it was expressly understood, that it was not to be liable, on said assignment, in case Sanders should prove insolvent—Sparks being better acquainted with Sanders than I was, took upon himself all risk. In consequence of an unjust attempt made by said Sparks, to recover of me on account of my assignment in which he has failed, I give this notice to prevent honest men from trading with said Sparks for his pretended claim on me.
