March 2, 1809. APPROVED, TH: JEFFERSON.
Very late from France.
BOSTON, April 26.
The French letter of Marque L'Esperence, capt. Deplace, arrived here yesterday, in a short passage from Bordeaux.—A French gentleman, a passenger, politely favoured us with a file of French papers to the 19th of last month; and manuscript copy of a new imperial decree.—A few translations from the papers, and the decree, will be found below.
The accounts from the European continent, in these papers, are nearly a month later than before received. War between France and Austria had not commenced, though the declaration of it was daily expected. The French Ambassador, and the ministers of the confederation of the Rhine, had quitted Vienna: and all the troops in the North, under the control of Bonaparte, were in motion. 100,000 of the troops, which were in Spain, had returned into France; and were moving towards Bavaria. The Emperor was in Paris at the last date. We find but little mention made of Russia, and that little did not indicate any thing like her taking a part in the war against Austria. The peace between Turkey and England is attributed in the Paris papers to the interference of Austria.
The tidings from Spain, are late. Saragossa surrendered the 24th of Feb. after a memorable siege; the particulars of which fill three of the papers:—About 10,000 of the garrison had passed Bayonne. The youth of Spain had not been overrun: nor had Cadiz been invested. The French had entered Oporto (Portugal) and were advancing on Lisbon.
The Breft Fleet, at the latest date, remained at Rochefort.
On the subject of American affairs, these papers are wholly silent. An imperial decree, affecting a part of our vessels in France, will be found under the translations. To understand it, it will be recollected, that the French, have long detained American vessels under various pretences; But some time since an embargo was laid on all American vessels in the ports of France. The new decree only affects such as were detained by this general Embargo. They are permitted to return direct to the United States, giving bonds. The others are still detained.
The above arrival gave numerous vapid reports yesterday; but they were destitute of foundation in truth.—We have been nothing which looks like an accommodation with France; or the abrogation of her decrees.
(TRANSLATION.)
VIENNA, Feb. 23.
The Wurtemberg and Bavarian Ambassadors are about to quit this capital. The different corps of our army are to be commanded by the archdukes, and by generals Lichtenstein, Rosenberg, Klenau, Kollowart, and Bellegard.
February 16.
The great military promotions announced a few days since, have been followed by others.
General Meerfeldt has been sent into Galicia, where he will have a command.

MARCH 1.
His Excellency Gen. Andreotti has taken leave of our Court, on his return to Paris. He passed Augsburg the 6th March, and continued his route without stopping.
PETERSBURG, Jan. 18.
The Austrian Ambassador, Prince Schwarzenburg, has had his first audience of his majesty, and had a conference of an hour and a half with him in his closet.
PARIS, March 12.
The Vienna Court Gazette continues to give all the absurdities of the English Journals. The manner in which the events in Turkey are recounted, prove evidently that Austria has contributed all her power to the peace between the Porte and England. Mr. Adair formerly ambassador to the Austrian Court, when he left Vienna had letters of recommendation to the Austrian Internuncio at Constantinople.
The Vienna Court Gazette states, that several Saxon regiments had marched into the Duchy of Warsaw, while the Westphalians are marching towards Thuringo.
AUGSBURG, March 1.
The head-quarters of General Oudinot's corps are in this city. Three Bavarian corps are to be formed in Tyrol, on the Danube, and in the Upper Palatinate.
MARCH 7.
We learn that several Englishmen have arrived at Trieste and shewed themselves publicly. A British courier, lately debarked there and proceeded hastily to Vienna. For some time very frequent communications have
been made between Austria and England, by way of Trieste.
An Austrian train of artillery has arrived at Eggra, in Bohemia.
We learn that an Austrian corps has shewn itself on the banks of the Inn, on the side of Passau. For this cause the Court of Munich has ordered its troops in Swabia and Franconia, to join those in Bavaria, who are to concentrate, on the Inn. The garrisons of Ulm and Augsburg are already on their march.
NUREMBURG, March 7.
All the Bavarian troops are marching to the Inn.
The famous intriguer Genz has arrived in Vienna—probably to draft the Austrian Manifesto. M. Stein is also at Vienna.
BURGOS, (Spain) March 5.
Gen. Sebastiani, pursues his success, Marshals Junot and St. Cyr. are approaching Valencia, which it is expected will not make any defence.
Saragossa surrendered on the 19th Feb. to the Duke Montebello (Lannes.) Such of the garrison as would not swear allegiance to Joseph I. were to be sent prisoners of war into France.
IMPERIAL DECREE.
OF FEBRUARY 25, 1809.
Art. I. The American vessels which have been detained in the ports of the empire, solely by the French embargo, are permitted to return directly to the United States.—This favor is not extended to such vessels as have been detained on account of irregular papers, or from any other cause.
Art. II. The vessels, the embargo on which is thus raised shall be placed in the disposition of M. Gen. Armstrong, Minister Plenipotentiary of the U. S. to guarantee their direct return to that country. The bonds given on their departure shall only be cancelled by certificates of our Consuls, &c. in America, their cargoes were landed therein and were composed only of the productions or industry of our Empire; and that no part of them was the property of the soil of the colonies, or of the commerce of England.
Monitor office, April 26.
Thomas Fitzsimons, President of the Chamber of Commerce at Philadelphia, to the Secretary of State.
Philadelphia, April 22, 1809.
SIR,—The proclamation of the President of the United States, published here yesterday, has necessarily engaged the attention of the merchants of this city, and I am particularly requested by a respectable number of them to ask from you an explanation on a point in it considered as very important. That is, whether the 10th of June refers to the departure of vessels from the U. States, or to their arrival in Great-Britain or its dependencies.
Without presuming to hazard an opinion upon that point, it may not be improper to remark, that if the latter shall be declared to be its true intent and meaning, the advantage to the United States will be incalculable. As respects expeditions to India, it may be observed, that if vessels do not fail before the 10th of June, they must encounter all the delays and dangers of the adverse monsoons, and as it respects the export of the growth or produce of the United States, the advantages are too obvious to require enumeration.
Under a firm persuasion that it is the desire of the President to give all proper facility to the commerce of the United States, the merchants of this city, with this question to be submitted to the president as soon as your convenience will permit and that you will be pleased to favor me with his determination thereon.
I am with great respect &c.
(Signed) TH: FITZSIMONS,
President of the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce.
Department of State, April 26, 1809.
SIR,—Your letter of the 22d inst. I have received, and I have the honor of stating to you, that in pursuance of the statute, commonly called the non-intercourse act, the president having by his proclamation merely declared the revocation on the 10th June, of the British orders, has left the subject to the operation of the law thereon.
In answer however to the question particularly propounded by you, it, with propriety may be added, that the day fixed in the proclamation, viz. the 10th June refers to the arrival of vessels in G. Britain and its dependencies and in the U. S. leaving the time and manner of their clearances to the discretion of the owners, as far as law and usage may justify.
I have the honor to be, &c.
(Signed) R. SMITH.

INVESTIGATION
OF THE QUESTION,
IS REVELATION TRUE?
BY JAMES FISHBACK,
OF LEXINGTON.

The Duke of York and Mrs. Clark. Wm Cobbett, in his Political Register of Feb. 18, makes the following remarks upon the subject:
Now is the time for the people to ask the revellers of Francis Burdett, whether he was so very much to blame, when he told the electors of Westminster, that no good was to be expected, till we could tear out the leaves of the accursed Red Book. Col. French, and col. Knight, and capt. Donavan, and capt. Sanden, and Mr. Dowler, and the rest of the numerous petticoat-patronized crew are all to be found in that Red Book, the leaves of which he wished to tear out. His voice will I trust, now be heard by those who were before misled—indeed there could be any such. I trust that now the venal declaimers about Jacobinism, will no longer be able to blind the understanding of any man however simple that man may be.
The man who now affects to believe, that a deep rooted system of corruption does not prevail must be an arrant knave—and of course none but an arrant knave will affect to believe, that a radical reform of that system, and a speedy one too, is not necessary to the preservation of the throne, as well as of the remaining liberties of the people. But in the mean time, and indeed as necessarily conducive to this reform, let the people bear in mind that it is THEIR MONEY that has been sported with—that it was not col. French's money, nor Mr. Dowler's money that the duke of York's kept mistress took, and that was expended upon her footman, chariots mulicians, singers, players, dancers, parasites, pimps, and bawds, but in the end the money of the PEOPLE. This is the important truth for them to keep in view. Let every father of a family consider how much less, from this cause, he will have to bequeath his children. When those who formerly lived in affluence from the rest of their estates, reflect how they have been obliged to dismiss servant after servant—fell horse after horse—abridge pot after pot of the ale that formerly gladdened the heart of the comers; aye, & to cut down tree after tree; and to sell acre after acre; let all such persons when with aching heart, they so reflect, think of Mrs. Clark, and the services of plate and the wine glasses at a guinea, a piece, and the rattling carriages, and the laced footmen and the mulicians and the singing boys, and the players and the dancers, and the pimps, and the bawds in Gloucester place; and let every mind in the kingdom be fixed upon the scene described by Miss Taylor, every tongue repeat, and every ear tingle at the words, "How does French behave to DARLING?"
Darling! How many a widowed mother has had to pronounce that word over a child, driven from beneath her roof by the penury produced by these and similar corruptions! Look into families, once respectable in point of fortune, and you find them consisting of a crowd of helpless females, unable to work and ashamed to beg; the sons all forced away, for want of the means possessed by their father, to seek a subsistence from patronage, to get back again some small portion of what their father had paid in taxes, and in order to succeed, creeping to those whom that father would have despised; nay, perhaps, the last stake of the family is converted into a bribe for a whore, while a score of breads are filled with anxiety lest the sum should not be sufficient. Thus has the nation been degraded; its spirit subdued; its heart broken; and its property rendered a prey to the infamous reptiles, who, at last, stand exposed to its execrations, and who, I trust, are at no great distance from the hour of feeling the effects of its vengeance. I mean not the vengeance of a mob, but the steady, sober, and deliberate vengeance of the law."
For the amusement of our fair readers whose curiosity must I am sure, be broad awake on a subject that agitates the whole British nation, I now present two of the love letters which Mrs. Clark offered in evidence to the House of Commons. I fear however, that our American ladies especially if they recollect the Duke of Cumberland's love letters to lady Grosvenor, will form but a contemptuous opinion of the talent of Princes in this way, and that they will further think that Mrs. Clark must at any rate be a foolish hussy, if she could really esteem so very weak a man as the wittier evidently is.
WORTHING, Aug. 4th, 1805. How can I express sufficiently to my sweetest, my darling life, the delight which her darling, her pretty letter gave me! or how I feel all the kind things she says to me! I can only say millions and millions of thanks to my dear Angel! My heart is so fully sensible of your affection, that upon it depends my life. I am however quite hurt that my life did not go to Lewis races. I was kind of her to think of me on the occasion—but I trust she knows me too well not to be convinced that I cannot bear the idea of adding to her the sacrifices, which I am too sensible she has made to me. News my Angel cannot separate me from hence, and the life I lead here in the family has such a tiresome fameness about it, that it is quite provoking. Except Lord Chesterfield's family, there is not a single person here of note, which contributes to the tedium. Dr. O'Mara called on me and he wishes to preach before Royalty. I shall endeavor to favor him in this respect. What a time it appears since we parted! How impatiently do I look forward to next Wednesday when I shall clasp my Angel in my arms! In the mean time God bless you my dear life! I must now close or I shall lose post. Adieu my dear Love, and believe me ever yours, and yours as long as I breathe.
SANDGATE, Aug. 24th. How can I sufficiently express the thanks of my heart to my Angel for the assurance she gave me! Oh! my Angel there never was a woman adored as you are. Every hour convinces me that my happiness depends up-
on you. With what impatience do I look forward till to-morrow, the moment I shall clasp her I love to my heart! How happy I am to hear you are well! Clavering is mistaken, my Angel that any new regiments are to be raised; only the second battalion is to be completed. You had better tell him so. Ten thousand thanks for the handkerchiefs! How much I prize them when I think of the dear hands that made them! I have nothing new to communicate to you. I find every thing here in a fine state of order. Yesterday I was reviewing the troops and examining the coast here. I had a fine view of the French camp at Calais. Yesterday I first reviewed the 14th light dragoons. The troops were in high spirits and in excellent order; and then I went to Braburn Lees, where I reviewed some regiments of militia. I am now setting out for Hastings, along the coast. Adieu till the day after to-morrow, and be assured my dearest Angel, till the last hour of my life I shall be yours, and yours only.
This and the other letters excited, in almost every part of the House, a most extraordinary burst of laughter and merriment.
NEW-YORK, APRIL 27. We have frequently published articles from the Eastern papers to show that the design of the Edex Junto was to produce separation of the States. The following letter was received a few days since and published on Monday last by the editor of the Bolton Chronicle. In perusing it our readers will not fail to recollect the grand Junto caucus held in New-York last summer, to concert as to the means and manner of separating the states.
Worcester, April 19. GENTLEMEN—The following serious and alarming particulars, I had this day from a friend of mine, who read the statement in a Quebec paper.
The paper states, "that delegates from the executive of Connecticut and Vermont, and gentlemen from Massachusetts and New-Hampshire, met in caucus with the gov. of Canada at Quebec, concerted plans of operation to be pursued in case probability should flatter their wishes, but to suspend any proceedings till they obtained the result of the elections in Massachusetts and New-Hampshire."
This statement rests on the authority of a respectable gentleman from Vermont, who read a paragraph of similar purport in a Quebec Gazette.
Extract of letter from Dr. Gaither, of Washington county, Ken. to the Editor of the Western World, dated, SPRINGFIELD, April 26, 1809. Intra muscular abdominal monsters. Believing it the duty of professional men, and particularly of the healing art, to lay before the public such occurrences in their practice, as from their singularity, either awaken useful enquiry or promote substantially the happiness of man, by encroaching the catalogue of facts whence a knowledge of the animal economy is derived, I who am a young and deficient practitioner in the science of medicine, beg leave to submit to the public a fact of that description. It is so contrary to the common course of nature, and to the prevailing and generally received opinions of the learned in the science of physiology, as to justify the conjecture that nature has yet many mysteries in reserve of great importance to the human family. When or in what manner she may please to disclose them; whether she will surrender them voluntarily and in connection, or whether they are to be unfolded singly, and by seeming accident, at distant and irregular intervals, remains equally a mystery. Possibly the learned may avail themselves of the instance I am about to relate, either to elicit or extort from her many valuable secrets. It is with that view and hope, it is submitted to them. It will be faithfully and accurately related, and can be in all its material parts substantiated by many persons of unquestionable veracity.
On the 7th of April, in the county of Washington, I was called to visit a female child, the daughter of John Milbourn, jun. The child was two years and nine months old, and was supposed to be effected with the ascites or dropsy of the belly. She died about three hours after my arrival. Her parents gave me a detailed account of her case, and its various symptoms. I was by no means satisfied that it was a real dropsy, tho' there was great tumefaction and tension of the abdomen, and fluctuation evidently felt when pressed by the hand. But as the symptoms were some of them inappropriate to that disease and others so equivocal I could not but suspect that her disease had been either unknown or misconceived, I prevailed on her parents to permit an instrumental examination. The operation was performed in the usual way, by a longitudinal incision, passing from below the sternum and reaching near the pubis; and transfverse one passing through the epigastric region sides. A cavity was opened to about half the distance between the abdominal cavity and the exterior surface that discharged between three quarts and a gallon of yellow water, which smelled like rotten eggs. Within the cavity was found a monster, or imperfect child, & also an animal substance of a whitish colour. The monster weighed one pound and fourteen ounces—the substance weighed 2 ounces, was rather of an oval figure, and was connected to the child from which it was taken by a cord that had some faint resemblance to the umbilical. On one extremity of the substance is a small tear or protuberance about half an inch long, and between one-fourth and one half of an inch in diameter, and immediately by it is hair of a darkish or auburn colour, about an inch and one fourth long. The only analogy it bears to the human is, that it is covered by the epidermis.
The monster occupied part of the epigastric and the umbilical regions. It was not connected to the inner surface of its cavity by a cord or any visible medium. Whether a cord or other medium of connection had existed and been destroyed by putrefaction (which from the smell of the fluid and other appearances had commenced) could not positively be ascertained. That there must have been some medium of connection I am confirmed as well by the universal course of nature and analogy on this subject, as by an appearance at the articulation of the cervical and dorsal vertebrae, resembling faintly the divided funis.
The position of the monster in its envelope was awkward; its thighs drawn up to its abdomen and attached to it in places. The left resting on the shoulder and reaching as far as the back part of the head. The right resting or pressing on the back of the right hand. The bones of each thigh have perforated the flesh at the knee, and are about half an inch out. The left leg is imperfect, lies back along the thigh to which it has grown. The right leg is also imperfect, its foot is suspended over the head. On one foot are three toes; on the other a small appearance of two. From the knees to the shoulders there is considerable perfection of form. Its sex is indistinctly marked. The indications are of the female. The left arm should rather be called a stump than an arm, it has no hand—at the end of the stump is a nail. The right arm is large and long, it has three fingers and the thumb. The head is very imperfect—it rests upon the breast between the knees. It has neither ears nor eyes, or appearance of any substitute for either—no mouth nor any thing that has a near resemblance to it. There is on the left side of the face, or rather that region of the head which the face should occupy, a small prominence which contains three teeth, the canine and two incisors—they are about the size of the teeth of a child two years old. This prominence or mouth if it may be so called, has no aperture. On the back part of the head was hair of a dark or rather an auburn colour, eight or nine inches long. The body of the monster was 7 inches long and 10 inches in circumference. The thighs 6, 8 in circumference. The arm 5 inches long—the stump not quite 4 inches in length.
The interior of the cavity which contained the monster, resembled the membrana decidua. This appearance was refused, for upon examination there was not any vestige of membrane peculiar to the monster discovered. Having explored this cavity and dislodged its contents, I extended the incision through the muscular partition into the abdominal cavity, and examined the viscera. They were rather pale, otherwise natural. The little girl that those monsters were taken from for about nine months was healthy. Her parents discovered when she was only a month or two old something hard within the abdomen which continued to increase. After this time she became less healthy; but her complaints were those incident to all children. About nine months prior to her death, she began to decline and became emaciated; her appetite continued strong; her longings and desire for ardent spirits were great; the world become intoxicated if indulged in the free use of them; it took a considerable quantity to affect her; she drank freely an hour before her death. I believe it was the use of spirits in part that supported her so long. She was of the ordinary size of children at her age, had dark hair and eyes, and would have been handsome, but for a gloom and melancholy that sat upon her countenance, which made her appearance peculiarly interesting. She looked like the child of grief. Her countenance exhibited evidence of a good understanding, and her little tongue confirmed it. EDWARD B. GAITHER.
I certify, that I examined with anxiety and attention the monster above described, and also the substance and believe the description to be accurate.

NOTICE. In this I succeeded; and the following mode of making this dreadful compound never fails, and yields a larger product than any other process, at present known. Take two ounce measures of a saturated solution of mercury in the nitric acid, and pour it into a quart tumbler. Add to it four ounce measures of alcohol, add these two ounce measures of the best and strongest nitric acid. Immediately an effervescence will take place and an immense quantity of nitrous ethereal gas & nitrous air will be discharged in thick white clouds and in about 15 minutes, the fulminating mercury will be deposited at the bottom of the vessel, in slender crystals of a white and brilliant color. They must be washed by filling the tumbler twice with pure water, and then dried by a gentle heat, or by exposing them two or three days to the air. The proportion of ingredients here mentioned will yield 227 grains of this exploding preparation.

On Wednesday the 26th ult. Gideon Olmstead received the sum of 14,278 dollars and 75 cents the amount of the principal and interest awarded to him by the district court of the United States.
On the first of May, the jury in the case the U. States v. Bright and others, (for opposing the Marshal in Olmstead's case) returned a verdict of "guilty in the form and manner set forth in the indictment."
Dispatches to our government from France brought by the French letter of marque L'Esperance, arrived at Boston, are said to have passed through this city to Washington. We trust they are of such a nature as to enable the president to act with some promptitude & decision as in the negotiation lately concluded with the British minister, which will complete the liberation of our commerce, and restore to our country that prosperity, which the suspension of her faculties has so long withheld. (Political Register)
BANKS OF THE ELBE, Feb. 26. Nine o'clock, P. M.—Till this very hour neither the Austrian nor the Russian posts have arrived, which causes much impatience & anxiety. Among the rumors this circulated in well informed circles evening, is, that of the French minister having received dispatches from Poland of great importance, the purport of which is chiefly said to be a change in the political sentiments of the court of St. Petersburg, which is said to interest itself in a most lively manner in favor of the emperor Francis. It is expected that Russia, under certain circumstances, may feel herself obliged to espouse the cause of Austria, & break off her friendly connections with France. Bara-parte will, it is said, direct the operations on the side of Italy; and on that of Germany, the duke of Auerstadt, with an army of 100,000 French troops, assisted by the troops of the confederation of the Rhine.
The hon. NINIAN EDWARDS, Chief Justice of this State is appointed by the President of the United States, Governor of the Illinois territory. We regret the loss of the talents on the bench, of gentlemen well qualified; and we could with the salary allowed to the judges of the court of appeals, is deficient, that an augmentation would take place. Perhaps it is a duty which a future legislature, and the people owe to themselves, to examine this matter; for it is not to be expected that professional men will serve the state for one half the sum their talents would insure at the bar. Economy is very well, if it does not "sweep too clean,"—the question is, do the judges get a salary which will compensate their trouble and bear their expenses from home 6 or 8 months in the year?—(Argus)
A POWDER ONE THOUSAND TIMES STRONGER THAN GUN-POWDER. Gun-Powder is an astonishing production—but chemists have discovered various means for augmenting the power of the common powder—for this purpose, they have added new ingredients to the common composition of this powder, which increase its force to a considerable degree. It is supposed that the Brandywine Gun-Powder, which is stronger than that of Europe, owes much of its strength to this cause.—But the secret does not terminate here. Chemists have discovered several compositions, whose explosive powers are superior to that of the strongest gun-powder. These have gone by different names. One of them has been called fulminating mercury—the description of whose effects and preparation according to a simple method, is given by Dr. Woodhouse, (Professor of chemistry in the University of Pennsylvania) in Coxes's Medical Museum, for January, &c. 1808. Supposing that fulminating mercury might be applied to the purposes of war, and particularly in perforating the timbers of vessels, by being applied to their bottoms, by means of the torpedoes of Mr. Fulton, I undertook a series of experiments, to find out a simple method of preparing it in large quantities.
NOTICE. In this I succeeded; and the following mode of making this dreadful compound never fails, and yields a larger product than any other process, at present known. Take two ounce measures of a saturated solution of mercury in the nitric acid, and pour it into a quart tumbler.

Immediately an effervescence will take place and an immense quantity of nitrous ethereal gas & nitrous air will be discharged in thick white clouds and in about 15 minutes, the fulminating mercury will be deposited at the bottom of the vessel, in slender crystals of a white and brilliant color.

A brick-bat, weighing five pounds, was placed upon fifteen grains of this fulminating mercury, lying upon an inch plank. A train of gun-powder was made to communicate with the fulminating compound. Upon firing it, a piece of the plank, several inches in length, was torn off.
Thirty grains, fired in the same manner, split a brick in two, perforated the plank and tore away a piece of it, 5 inches in length, and two in breadth.
Sixty grains, placed on a three inch plank, with two brick-bats over them, broke the bricks into a variety of pieces, scattered them in every direction, and made an excavation in the plank, half an inch deep, and five in circumference.
Ninety grains, under five bricks, broke the whole into an immense number of pieces, perforated the three inch plank one inch deep, and nine in circumference.
Two hundred grains were laid upon an oak plank five feet in length, and one foot in breadth, another plank of the same size was laid over the fulminating mercury, and confined by thirty lbs. weight of bricks. Upon firing the compound, all the bricks were broken into pieces; a foot in length and breadth of the table on which the planks rested was carried away; the upper plank was thrown into the air; both were split, and small excavations made in them.
An idea of the immense force of this substance may be conceived, when it is related, that ten grains of it will burst the strongest pistol barrel that can be made. As it possesses a thousand times the power of gunpowder, is no ways dangerous, and can be fired by the flint and steel, it would appear to be preferable to this article to charge the torpedoes of Mr. Fulton.
M. Delby, a chemist of Amsterdam, has discovered a composition, which, from its superior strength, he conceived would supersede the use of gun-powder; while lately employed, however, in some experiments, a large paper exploded, and tore off his left arm, most of the fingers on the right hand, and otherwise wounded him so severely, that his life is despaired of.

LOST YESTERDAY, On the road between Lexington and the mouth of Hickman, a Red Morocco Pocket Book, containing a variety of valuable papers, one Bank Note of $20, and one of $5, together with a Compass Needle. Whoever may have found the said book, and will deliver it to Messrs. J. & D. MacCoun, of Lexington, Mr. John Downing, of Nicholasville, or Mr. Robert Holloway, in Danville, shall be handsomely rewarded. George Holloway. May 16, 1809.

Lexington Library Company. The Directors of the Lexington Library Company, hereby give notice to those concerned, that all shares will be forfeited, on which contributions were due in the months of June and December last, unless the same be discharged within three months from this date; and that defaulting shareholders will still be responsible for the balance due on their respective shares. Conformably to the by-laws, a list of defaulters will be posted in the Library room.
On examining the accounts of the corporation, the directors ascertain that a loss of from 1500 to 2000 dollars has been sustained in consequence of the neglect and inattention of former officers. On the shares now advertised as forfeited, upwards of 600 hundred dollars appear to be due; when there fore, they consider the additions which might have been made to the Library from the receipt of those sums; the losses which have been sustained, and the injury which has consequently fallen upon the regular and the punctual share holders; the di rectors in justice to those whose interests they are appointed to advance, cannot avoid resolving to ex ecute the by-laws, and to forfeit every share without respect to persons which shall in future be found too long in arrears.
A considerable addition of books will be made to the Library during the present week; a greater in crease is contemplated within the present year, and if the share holders are punctual in advancing their contributions, the directors have no doubt but the institution will soon accomplish all the objects which its most sanguine friends hoped for when it was established.
In consequence of the addition which has been made to the library, it was thought by some of its friends that the price of shares should be enhanced, but the directors wishing to make it as extensively useful as possible, and to give numbers an opportu nity of participating in its benefits have determined to let the shares remain at their old price of ten dol lars for the present. Those who are inclined to purchase, may for the next six months purchase shares of the secretary or at the store of Messrs. James & David Macconn, unless the number author ized by law should be sooner filled; after that time the price will be fifteen dollars.
By order of the Directors. David Logan, Sec. Lexington Library, March 30, 1809.

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 title. 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 improve ments, and in point of space, convenience and com fort 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 imme diate superintendence of Mr. William T. Banton. 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.

The celebrated imported English turf horse, HONEST JOHN,
A BEAUTIFUL dark bay or brown about 16 hands high, lengthy, elegantly, & propo tionably formed, of fine movement, and pos sessing great muscular powers, will stand this season at my stable in Lexington, and let to mares at the very reduced price of Twenty Dollars the season, which may be discharged by Fifteen sent with the mare, and One Dollar to the groom for each mare when put; Thirty Dollars to insure a colt, the money to be returned should the mare not prove to be with foal, provided the remains the property of the person who put her to the horse. Attested notes for twenty dol lars the season, or thirty to insure, must be sent with the mare, payable on or before the 20th December next. I would advise those gentlemen who wish to breed from this fa mous turf horse, to come and inspect him, that they may be able to judge for themselves. While on the turf in England, his perform ance there will justly entitle him to be ran ked amongst the first order of great running horses. One of the greatest runners now in England is own brother to Honest John, which is Sir H. Williamson's Honest Star ling, who in 1805, won eight places, two of which were king's plates and a gold cup, which may be seen by reference to the Ra cing calendar of 1805 now in my possession. The great scarcity of cash, and the liberality of my Friends in putting to other fine ho ses that I formerly owned, has induced me to cover this great horse at so reduced a price. Good pasturage gratis for mares at a distance, but no responsibility—mares will be fed with grain, if required, at a moderate price, for which the money must be sent with the mares.
WILLIAM T. BANTON. Lexington, April, 1809.
