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 improvements, and in 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 favour 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.
Cuthbert Banks. Lexington, Jan. 1st, 1809.
Great Bargains.
PUBLIC SALE.—Will positively be sold to the highest bidder on Friday the seventh day of July next, at the farm of the subscriber, on Strodes road, four miles east of Lexington, on a credit of twelve months—bond, bearing interest from the date, with good security, will be required.
A large valuable stock of HORSES, consisting of work and saddle horses, brood mares with foals, and young geldings and fillies, from three to three years old. The mares from which this stock has been raised, were formerly selected and owned by Thomas D. Owings, esq. and Capt. Saml. Prior, and unquestionably the best in the state.
Great pains has been taken to improve it, by breeding from the best horses, such as the imported horses Spread Eagle, Speculator, Royalist, and others of high blood.
Should the Farm here-with advertised, be sold previous to the above sale—in that case, will be sold on the following day, all the stock of Cattle, Sheep and Hogs, a Waggons and Ox Cart, Farming Utensils, and almost every kind of article used in husbandry. Terms will be made known at the time of sale.
I wish to sell (by private sale) my stud horse TRAFALGAR; he is famous as a foal-getter, and possesses an uncommonable. Also my stud horse WASHINGTON, five years old, in high health, &c. his sire Spread Eagle; his dam Kitty Fisher, Prior's running mare, never beaten, and won more races than any mare of her time; her son is supposed to be superior to her in her best days, both as to speed and bottom.
I wish to sell (by private sale) that beautiful and highly improved FARM situated between three and four miles from Lexington, in Fayette county, state of Kentucky, known by the name of the Buck Eye plantation; containing 309 acres.
For situation and fertility of soil, that is not surpassed by any farm in the state. The cleared land is laid off in a handsome style, the pasture lots well set with blue grass; and the water is plenty and good.
There is on it a handsome young Orchard of apple and peach, of a choice selection. The buildings consist of a two story frame house, with 3 rooms & a passage on each finished in a plain manner, by plastering and painting all through; adjoining the house, is a convenient room, that separates the house from the kitchen, and has a communication with both; an excellent barn, stables, negro houses, meat house, milk house, &c. &c.
Also a small tract, containing twenty-one and a quarter acres, lying between the above and Lexington, about two thirds cleared and in grass, a small house and good spring. This will be sold separate from, or with the other.
The terms of payment is one third part in hand, one third part in one year, and the other third part in two years from the day of sale, to be secured as may be agreed on.
William West. May 18th, 1809.
N. B. The land is clear of all encumbrance—title good—general warranty deed will be made. The purchaser, at his option, can be accommodated with the CROP in the ground, of wheat, oats, corn, hay, flax, and a considerable quantity of hemp seed, now in cultivation.
Patent Hemp & Flax breaking Machine. THE subscribers have purchased the right for the state of Kentucky of Thomas Cohoon'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 further 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. Laws. Lexington, April 8th, 1809.
HAVING been called upon to state our opinions 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$.
We have no hesitation in stating that hemp may be broken in much greater quantities with the same labour, and with ease to the hands employed, and with much less delay, severe labour, and considerable expense might be saved to hemp raisers by the erection of these machines.
T. T. Barr, Wm. W. Wordeley, C. Coyle, Bushrod Boswell, Robert B. Barr. Lexington, April 8th, 1809.
THE BROKE off from a Boy,
ABOUT two miles from the mouth of Hickman Assumption county, on the 3rd of July last, a young BAY MARE, five or six years old, about fifteen hands high, one foot white and branded Br on her near shoulder.

Walter Brashear. Bardstown, August, 1808.

INVENTIONS
BY ROBERT FULTON, Esq.
The subsequent account of the discoveries and experiments of Mr. Fulton, is extracted from "Mitchel and Miller's Repository" for August, September and October 1808...
First, a mill for sawing and polishing marble for which the London Society for encouraging Useful Arts and Manufactures, gave him the silver medal in 1794.
Second, a system of navigation which he published in London, 1796. His principle is to have small canals and boats of 8 tons, which are to mount or descend to the different levels of the canal, on inclined planes instead of locks; while the boats are drawn on the canal, 6 or 8 of them are chained together; when they arrive at the inclined plane, they are separated and pass singly.
But striking as this comparison is, says Mr. F. it will still extend it; the merchandise which can bear the expense of carriage on our present roads to Pittsburg, Kentucky, Tennessee, or any other distance of 300 miles, and which for that distance, pays 100 dollars a ton, could be boated, that is carried on canals, ten thousand miles for that sum.
Third, a machine for making Ropes. This engine is to be put in motion by a water wheel. It can stand in a room about 40 feet square; the rope yarns are put into it on spools, and any sized cordage, from a 300 line to a hawser, can be made on it by the attention of one man.
Fourth invention. A boat to navigate under water. In this machine, Mr. Fulton and 5 persons continued under water one hour at Havre-de-Grace in France. He rowed about, while under water in every direction, and steered by means of a compass.
The torpedo which is his fifth invention, is a copper case, which will contain 5 to 100 pounds of powder. To it is fixed a gun-lock in a brass box, which lock strikes fire by means of a piece of clock work, which can be set to one or more minutes.
This invention and the practice of it is yet in its infancy. Men in general will have doubts about its practicability or political consequences, as is the case with all new discoveries, until ocular demonstration compels belief.
*The object of this invention is to reduce the expense of transportation to the lowest possible rate, and give a facility to bring down the produce of our remote interior to the seaports, taking back in exchange the various merchandise.
not again be changed? Out of the invention of gun-powder, military marines, those floating and destructive fortification, have grown, which now rob us of our neutral rights.
May we not then, without presumption, hope that the same industry and perseverance which have penetrated into the complicated principles of the steam boat, and organized them into utility, may persevere to the establishment of a principle, which, driving military mariners from the ocean, will give us every freedom of commerce which can be desired, remove every cause of dispute between us and European nations, secure to us lasting peace, and direct all our resources and energies to humane and useful pursuits.
Admitting that any invention can be effected, which will destroy military marines, and consequently give freedom to the seas; there is a fine field for eloquence in displaying the immense advantages which would result from such a revolution in the affairs of man, from military and barbarous labors to civil improvements.
From the Baltimore North American.
THE CAMEL. A Philadelphia gentleman, who spent many years of his life in Africa, has formed the design of carrying a number of Camels into the Southern States by way of introducing the breed.
The Camel is the most useful to man of all quadrupeds. He possesses the celerity of the horse, and can perform as much labour as the elephant, whilst he consumes only one-twentieth of the quantity of food on which the latter subsists.
It is supposed that he will thrive in the Southern divisions of our Union, where his properties, adapted to the nature of the climate and country, will certainly render him invaluable.
The uncertainty whether the climate, to which it is proposed to carry him, will be found to agree with his habits and health, taken into view with the expense of the undertaking, might well have deterred any individual from hazarding his own resources; whilst the public benefit to be derived might have induced the state legislatures to lay the burthen upon their treasuries.
Extract of a letter from col. D. Humphreys, dated 9th May, 1809.
"I propose as a more certain project, to send on to Philadelphia to the cattle show, on the 4th July next, a few full blooded merino's (already engaged) and a considerable flock of very fine woolled sheep of various degrees of blood, derived from my imported flock.
"I wish you to mention this to the gentlemen, president and members of the premium and domestic societies, in order, if they judge proper, they may make the fact extensively known through the medium of the different papers, that the flock in question will certainly be in Philadelphia at the before mentioned time, if no unforeseen accident should happen to prevent it."
The following circular merits the peculiar attention of every section of the union. It will be recollected that domestic manufacture is the vital spring of commerce, which raised
Great Britain to the highest pitch of commercial prosperity. We hope its merits will be duly attended to.
Philadelphia, April 28, 1809.
SIR, FROM a variety of causes, more particularly the late embargo, a spirit of enterprise in the establishment of useful manufactures in almost every part of the United States has been exhibited—great exertions have been made, and large capitals have been embarked in this line, and the manufacturing interest is forming a new link in the chain of Society, and if properly united, its strength will, in an individual and national point of view, become powerful, beneficially influential, and permanent.
Your communications addressed to Wm. Davy, C. C. M. A. Philadelphia, will receive respectful attention from
Sir, your most humble servants, William Davy, John Harrison, James Robinson, Adam Seybert, Abraham Small.
From Wilson's "Treatise on Febrile Diseases." INOCULATION OF THE MEASLES.
The great success which attended inoculation for the Small Pox induced many to believe that similar advantage might be expected from it in the Measles.
He met with some difficulty from the measles not forming matter, and his not being able to collect a sufficient quantity of broken cuticle, at the time of disquamation, to produce the disease.
While the blood came slowly from a slight incision, it was received upon cotton, and on an incision being made on each arm of the person to be inoculated, the cotton, as soon as possible, after it had received the blood, was applied over the incisions, and kept upon them with considerable pressure.
Dr. Home inoculated ten or twelve patients in this way, in whom the operations succeeded equal to his hopes. The eruptive fever generally commenced six days after inoculation, and the symptoms of the complaint were milder than they generally are in the casual measles.
Dr. Home now regarded it as ascertained, that the natural measles are received by the lungs, and that on this circumstance depends the danger of the disease. He wished, however, to ascertain the symptoms of the complaint when evidently received by the lungs.
with the attention they deserve. If a more extensive experience prove it capable of producing the effects ascribed to it, it will certainly be an improvement of considerable importance.
NATURAL PHENOMENON.—In the north part of Cumberland, in the state of Rhode Island, near the Attleborough line, 12 miles from town, about the beginning of March, in the night, the ground for the space of 2 or 3 acres began shaking, and continued 2 or 3 minutes.
An extraordinary instance of longevity lately occurred in the island of Jamaica, in the person of Joseph Ram, a black man, belonging to Morrice Hall estates, and who died in December last, at the advanced age of 140 years; he perfectly remembered the duke of Albemarle, who succeeded to the government of that island in 1687.
JUNOT, Duke of Abrantes.—We have already mentioned the report, that this man, who made so considerable an appearance in the campaign of Portugal, was born in Ireland.
Junot is the son of a schoolmaster near Athy in the county of Kildare, of the name of Julian, and he now has a brother, a sergeant in the Waterford militia, and an uncommonly good looking, powerful, and well conducted man.
Junot is an excellent scholar, and for some years was an usher in the school of Mr. Dunne near Athy, where he was much liked, though rather too fond of fighting.
Last week a Miss Pricilla Thacktwaine, of Hertfordshire with a fortune of 4000l. hard cash, entered the matrimonial state. She had declared her intention to espouse a soldier, tailor, cobler, or chimney sweeper, and was accordingly courted by each of those professions.
From a London Paper. Mrs. Clarke, the Duke of York's tormentor, has published, in two volumes, with a correct Portrait of the authoress, fac similes of the letters of the Duke of York, a work entitled, "Memoirs of my own life; containing facts and observations, illustrative of a recent investigation, and accompanied with numerous royal and other interesting letters, which have never appeared before the public, by Mary Anne Clarke."
On Mrs. Clarke being called a "Baggage," in the committee of inquiry. Why, gentlemen, thus put to so much pain, Poor captain SANDON of the Waggon Train! For, all who have a single spark of candor, That he was bound in duty, we must allow, To pay attention to, and keep in view, The BAGGAGE of our army's chief commander!
SHIPWRECK AND MIRACULOUS ESCAPE. We stated in a former paper, that the ship Monticello from Lima, fell in with the wreck of a vessel at sea, on which was found a man, the last of the crew, who had preferred a precarious existence for a number of days, by feeding upon the bodies of his comrades.
This statement, in the first instance, was considered too extravagant to be true; but it is now known to be a fact. It was also said, that the crew cast lots which of them should die, to sustain the lives of the remainder; but this is not confirmed by the narrative of the survivor.
When the captain of the Monticello took this wretched man on board his ship, he gave him a change of cloaths and linen, and would not suffer him to take much sustenance at one time. The first nutriment he gave him, was two cups of coffee and a small piece of toast, and by adhering to this system, in the course of a few days, the man was quite restored to health.
persons who usually messed with the captain deserted his table. Time, however, and the general good conduct of the man, restored him to the society of his shipmates.
The particulars given by the wrecked mariner are these, his name is Thomas Moorhead, the ship in which he was wrecked was the Acorn, Captain M'Leod, of Stockton, to which place they were bound, from America when on the 30th of October, a severe gale of wind came on, in which the ship made a great deal of water, and finally filled, and overset, by which misfortune, the carpenter and a black man were drowned.
THE PLOT. We cannot doubt for a moment, of the gigantic atrocities and traitorous designs of the tories; but concave schemes they may, the energy and concert of an honest American yeomanry, will render it an abortion.
COMMUNICATED FOR THE WHIG. I perceive, that the circumstance of the deposition of the tories to Canada, is doubted by some: the following fact was communicated in this city a short time since by a gentleman from Massachusetts, who is intimately acquainted with the proceedings of both parties in that state, and who would not have stated such a circumstance, had it not been correct.
He remarked that this deposition had, by the most persevering and refined vigilance on the part of the democrats, been discovered, notwithstanding all the secrecy with which the plan had been organized; that in consequence of the conviction that the measure was really agitated, every precaution was taken to ascertain the extent, object and parties concerned in the treason.
A YANKEE.
TYRANNY OF CUSTOM.
Ladies burnt alive!—From the following extract from an East-India publication, it appears that the horrid custom of women burning themselves on the tombs of their husbands, is not yet extinct.
Surat, June 30, 1808.
Yesterday a Suttee, or ceremony of a Brahmin woman burning herself with the body of her deceased husband, took place at Phooltaiah, a village about 2 miles from Surat, on the banks of the Taptie.

ceremonies, she attended the body of her husband to the river, where she performed various ablutions. The Brahmins all this time, as well as at her first arrival at the pile, prostrated themselves at her feet, as of a superior being. At her return from the river, the body of her husband was placed beside her. The body was then uncovered, on which she, with one of the most emphatic smiles I ever saw, bowed her head towards his face, and said in a mild tone of voice, in the Moorish language, "Ah! my husband!" Her looks indicated more—as though she would have said—Never mind my husband we shall not long be separated. The body of the deceased was then carried into the inclosure, and placed lengthways on the funeral pile. She then went through various mysteries and ceremonies too intricate for me to understand; but among others, she poured ghee several times on the sacred fire which was placed before her, when her son took some of the ashes and put them in her mouth, which she swallowed. She then drank three separate times of consecrated water. On returning the loote to one of the officiating Brahmins, he found a little left, which he swallowed with great avidity; she then received a few rupees at two different times from her son, and presented them as offerings to the priests. Three female relations were then allowed to approach her; they threw themselves at her feet, and seemed imploring for something; she touched all their foreheads, and gave each some ghee , rice and flour, and they departed—I must not omit mentioning that blades of grass were invariably used, even in the most trifling ceremonies.
She was then decorated with a necklace of camphire, and bracelets of the same—also a wreath forming a turban, indicative of her throwing off the nature of womanhood, and assuming that of the man; all these mysteries being concluded, she arose and prepared to walk round the pile seven times. The first round, 2 Brahmins laid hold of her to support her; she, in an audible voice, declined their assistance, and said she could walk alone: and indeed the oftener she went round, her step appeared the more firm and determined. This ceremony being completed, she entered the inclosure, and seated herself on the pile in an upright posture, and placed the head of her deceased husband in her lap. Ghee , in large quantities had been previously poured on her head and garments; pieces of camphire, cowdung, plantain-grass, rice, flour, &c. were then strewed over the body of the dead man. Billets of wood were then placed by the Brahmins in a pyramidal form around her, and a few bundles of very dry brush wood were placed at the top near her head; the sacred fire was then given by one of the Brahmins to her son, who presented it to his mother. The head Brahmin remained in conversation with her for a quarter of an hour, during which period she held the light in her hand; a leaf of the chesier was also carried in, and as the Brahmin did not bring it out again, I suppose that this was also placed on the pile. The Brahmin then took leave of her, and when he came to the door, (as if anxious that an European should be a witness of her setting fire to the pile with her own hands,) he beckoned me to approach, when immediately I saw her bow her head on that of her husband, and on raising it, set fire to the brush-wood above her. It did not burn as was expected, during which time she sat as composed as if she had no interest in the affair. The Brahmins close to me, seeing this, threw some fire on the pile, and in two seconds the whole was a complete conflagration. While the bodies were burning, the Brahmins kept dancing round the funeral pile with enthusiasm and apparent satisfaction.
The officiating Brahmins, so far from opposing my approach, appeared anxious that I should see the whole minutely, that I might relate that every thing had been conducted without deceit or perfidy. I accordingly took my station at the angle post at the door where I remained the whole time; the Suttah at not more than three feet distance from me. She appeared so totally absorbed in her prayers, and performing the necessary ceremonies, and in conversing with her son, that she paid not the smallest attention to any thing round her, excepting once, when she waved her hand to me not to advance nearer. During the whole ceremony, which lasted considerably more than an hour (for I was too much interested to look at my watch) she was as firm and collected, and perhaps more so, than most of the by-standers. I never took my eyes off her the whole time, and dare assert that not the smallest degree of compulsion was used.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Wayne County, dated May 16. "I was informed a few days past, that in the neighbourhood of Col. Newell's, (a citizen of Wayne county) that in a large Cave, not far from his house, was found an Indian, wrapped up in straw. At what time he was there deposited, it cannot be ascertained—but the Indian appeared to be entirely uncorrupted. He had his natural appearance—his skin appeared almost to cleave to the bone, and to feel hard and firm; which must have been so preserved, either by the due and equal temperature of the subterraneous air, or by some means of embalming and preserving their dead bodies. He was found by a party in pursuit of a Salt-Petre Cave."
Letter to the editor, dated Washington, May 23. SIR—I herewith enclose you a copy of the President's message to Congress, received to day.—You will be kind enough to give it a place in your paper, for the information of your subscribers and my constituents, and oblige your friend, BENJ. HOWARD.
WASHINGTON CITY, May 23, 1809. This day at 12 o'clock, the President of the United States communicated, by Mr. Graham, the following Message to both Houses of Congress. Fellow citizens of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives On this first occasion of meeting you, it affords me much satisfaction, to be able to communicate the commencement of a favourable change in our foreign relations; the critical state of which induced a session of Congress at this early period. In consequence of the provisions of the act interdicting commercial intercourse with Great Britain and France, our Ministers at London & Paris were without delay instructed to be understood by the French and British governments, that the authority vested in the Executive, to renew commercial intercourse with their respective nations, would be exercised in the case specified by that act. Soon after these instructions were dispatched, it was found that the British government, anticipating from early proceedings of Congress at their last session, the state of our laws which had the effect of placing the two belligerent powers on a footing of equal restrictions, and relying on the conciliatory disposition of the U. States, had transmitted to their Legation here, provisional instructions, not only to offer satisfaction for the attack on the frigate Chesapeake , and to make known the determination of his Britannic Majesty, to send an Envoy extraordinary with powers to conclude a treaty on all points between the two countries; but, moreover, to signify his willingness, in the mean time, to withdraw his orders in council, in the perusal that the intercourse with Great Britain would be renewed on the part of the United States. These steps of the British government led to the correspondence and the Proclamation now laid before you; by virtue of which, the commerce between the two countries will be renewable after the tenth day of June next.
Whilst I take pleasure in doing justice to the counsels of his Britannic majesty, which no longer adhering to the policy which made an abandonment by France, of her decrees, a pre-requisite to a revocation of the British orders, have substituted the amicable course which has issued thus happily; I cannot help referring to the proposal heretofore made on the part of the United States embracing a like restoration of the suspended commerce, as a proof of the spirit of accommodation which has at no time been intermitted, and to the result which now calls for our congratulations, as corroborating the principles, by which the public councils have been guided during a period of the most trying embarrassments.
The discontinuance of the British orders, as they respect the United States, having been thus arranged, a communication of the event has been forwarded, in one of our public vessels, to our minister plenipotentiary at Paris; with instructions to avail himself of the important addition thereby made, to the considerations which press on the justice of the French government a revocation of its decrees, or such a modification of them, as that they shall cease to violate the neutral commerce of the United States.
The revision of our commercial laws, proper to adapt them to the arrangement which has taken place with Great Britain, will doubtless engage the early attention of Congress. It will be worthy, at the same time, of their just and provident care, to make such further alterations in the laws, as will more especially protect and foster the several branches of manufacture, which have been recently instituted or extended by the laudable exertions of our citizens.
Under the exciting aspect of our affairs, I have thought it not inconsistent with a just precaution, to have the gun-boats, with the exception of those at New Orleans, placed in a situation, incurring no expense beyond that requisite for their preservation, and convenience for future service, and to have the crews of those at New Orleans reduced to the number required for their navigation and safety. I have thought also, that our citizens detached in quotas of militia, amounting to one hundred thousand, under the act of March 1808, might, not improperly, be relieved from the state in which they were held for immediate service. A discharge of them has been accordingly directed. The progress made in raising and organizing the additional military force, for which provision was made by the act of April 1808, together with the disposition of the troops, will appear by a report which the Secretary of War is preparing, and which will be laid before you. Of the additional frigates required, by an act of the last session, to be fitted for actual service, two are in readiness, one nearly so, and the fourth is expected to be ready in the month of July. A report which the Secretary of the Navy is preparing on the subject, to be laid before Congress, will show at the same time, the progress made in officering and manning these ships. It will show also the degree in which the provisions of the act, relating to the other public armed vessels, have been carried into execution.
It will rest with the judgment of Congress, to decide how far the change in our external prospects may authorize any modifications of the laws relating to the army and navy establishments. The works of defence for our seaport towns and harbors have proceeded with as much activity, as the season of the year, and other circumstances would admit. It is necessary however to state, that the appropriations hitherto made being found to be deficient, a further provision will claim the early consideration of Congress.
The whole of the eight per cent stock remaining due by the United States amounting to five millions, three hundred thousand dollars, had been reimbursed on the last day of the year 1808. And on the first day of April last, the sum in the Treasury exceeded nine and a half millions of dollars. This together with the receipts of the current year on account of former revenue bonds will probably be nearly, if not altogether sufficient to defray the expenses of the year. But the suspension of exports and the consequent decrease of importations during the last twelve months, will necessarily cause a great diminution in the receipts of the year 1810. After that year should our foreign relations be undisturbed, the revenue will again be more than commensurate to all the expenditures.
Aware of the inconveniences of a protracted session at the present season of the year, I forbear to call the attention of the Legislature to any matters not particularly urgent. It remains therefore only to assure you of the fidelity & alacrity with which I shall co-operate for the welfare and happiness of our country, and to pray that my experience a continuance of the divine blessings by which it has been so signalily favoured. JAMES MADISON.
British Outrage, and Blockade of the Chesapeake. The following extract from Rel's Philadelphia Gazette , of the 23d ult. if true, forms a curious illustration of that part of the President's message which alludes to British amity! We forbear at this time to enlarge, as our information is so circumscribed, (having received no Baltimore papers)—The next mail will undoubtedly give us every particular, and the steps taken by Congress in consequence of this outrage—for it is impossible that Congress can be so degraded as to pass over in silence this renewal of hostilities by the British.
From our Correspondent at Baltimore, Monday, May 22. Arrived, schrs. Amiable, Fitch, Carthagena , 16 days. Capt. F. brought letters, and a memorial from the Americans taken prisoners in Miranda's expedition—he thinks that if government interfered they would be liberated. Yesterday at 2 p. m. two large ships, apparently men of war, gave chase, one of them within gun shot, and began to fire.—The light-house then about two miles distant being so close to the land and unappreciated that war was declared, we made every fail we could. The ship we were informed after by the pilot, was the British frigate Melampus , continued to keep a very brisk fire, several shots passed over and some fell near us, and others on the beach of the Cape; by this time we had got within one mile of the light-house. Perceiving he could not come up with us, he fired a broad side and made sail off—all this time we had American colours flying.
We have seen a letter from Clarke county, stating that the SMALL POX had made its appearance there. For the information of those who wish to be inoculated for the Cow Pox , which has been found to be a certain preventative to this dangerous and loathsome disease, we refer to the advertisement of Dr. Elisha Warfield , published in this paper.

COMMUNICATION. A most horrid murder was committed on the body of a Mr. CHAPMAN of Adair county a short time since, by three of his negroes. After repeatedly striking him with a handspike, they carried his body some little distance, and built a large log heap on it, which they consumed by fire. The negroes have since been apprehended, and confessed their guilt, and will no doubt receive that punishment which their crime merits. (Aurora.)
ST. LOUIS, May 17, 1809. On authority of letters recently received by his excellency governor Lewis and General William Clark, we are authorised to state, that on the 6th instant, a soldier belonging to Fort Belle-vue , was surprised by two Indians, at the distance of about a mile from the Fort and compelled to give them his frock and vest. He at first refused to be despoiled of his clothes in this insulting manner, but thought it prudent to surrender them, on their presenting a rifle to his bosom, and threatening to put him to death, if he did not comply with their demand. They then suffered him to return home; but made chase after him for about a mile; whether in a mere sportive wantonness, or for the purpose of still taking his life, is uncertain. This occurrence, together with the movements of the Indians in considerable bodies, through the interior country, has induced captain Pratt, to remain with his detachment at Bellevue longer than was at first deemed necessary by captain Houle of the U. S. Artillery, with whom he was sent to co-operate.
An express who was dispatched to Rocky river , was fired upon by several Puants alias Winnebagoes , near the camp which they have established on the call side of the Mississippi , about eight leagues above Fort Madison about the same time the attempt was made on the soldier.
Nothing short of military coercion will restore the affairs of the upper country to their accustomed regularity and order. The work in which the troops remained last winter was not permanent, it was called Belle-vue ; that which is now nearly complete and in which the regular garrison is now stationed has been denominated Fort Madison , it is a strong and well designed fortification for defence against our savage neighbors.
FIRE! The invaluable chemical laboratory of Mr. John Harrison, in the Northern Liberties of this city, were on Sunday morning between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock consumed by fire; the laboratory flooded several hundred yards from the high road and from the habitations of the neighbourhood, and as no work was going on at the time, there is from this and other causes strong ground to believe that it was purposely set on fire; an attempt was made some time since to poison Mr. Harrison and his wife, and the factory had actually been taken in a small quantity, the black boy who made the attempt is now in prison for the crime; a similar attempt had been made to set fire to his house,
but the combustibles were timely discovered. Independent of the atrocious crimes of this mischievous, the destruction of this most important work, is to be deplored as it might from its comprehensive means and perfection in all the most important branches of chemistry, be deemed a national establishment; having been the fruit of research made with great diligence and industry by Mr. Harrison in various parts of Europe, it had reached after twelve years of indefatigable labor and unremitting industry that point of completion, which with only a small protection from the fostering hands of government would have rendered the United States perfectly independent of Europe in every article produced by chemical science. We cannot help ascribing the destruction of this work to the same source from which so many of the domestic efforts of industry have already experienced enmity and conflagration. Mr. Harrison's loss cannot be much less than 60,000 dollars. (Aurora.)
NEW-YORK, May 19. By our ship news it appears that a French vessel had arrived in the Chesapeake from France, with dispatches—bringing the agreeable intelligence that Bonaparte has relaxed in his system against neutral commerce. We believe this news, however, wants confirmation.
PHILADELPHIA, May 22. LATEST FROM SPAIN. The brig Cerberus , Lufkin , arrived here on Saturday evening in 42 days from Cadiz . By this arrival the editors of the Freeman's Journal have received Gibraltar papers the 2d, and the Seville Gazette to the 4th of April, copious extracts and translations from which are subjoined.
It is positively stated by one of the passengers, that Russia has made peace with Great Britain, and that two days before the Cerberus failed an express had been received in Cadiz from a British admiral in the Tagus , ordering the Russian flag to be respected. After the Battle of Medellin , in Extremadura , of which we have no detailed account, the French penetrated into Andalusia , and were said to be within 18 leagues of Seville . The situation of Spain, which we cannot disguise, looks worse than we expected, is not, however, hopeless. Their allies, the British who ought to be presumed to know the real state of the country, have again sent a fine army of thirty thousand men to their assistance. This does not look like despondency, nor do we see any thing of it in our papers—but the verbal reports of a passenger are quite the reverse. He appears to think that Spain must ultimately yield to the French power. The American vessels which have been so long detained at Cadiz , had been restored through the interference and at the request of the Marquis de Cafa Yrujo.
MADRID Jan. 24. Circular letter addressed by the king our master, to the archbishops and bishops of his kingdom. "Don Joseph Napoleon, by the grace of God, the constitution of the state, King of Spain and the Indies. "In returning to this capital, our first care, as well as our duty, has been to prostrate ourselves at the feet of that God who disposes of crowns. We have offered him the homage of our existence for the felicity of the brave nation whom he has entrusted to our care. It is with this end only, in conformity with our dearest thoughts, that we have addressed to him our humble prayers. "What is an individual in the immense population of the earth? What is he in the eyes of the eternal, who alone penetrates the intentions of men, and according to them determines their elevation? Who sincerely wishes the welfare of his fellows, serves God; and his omnipotent goodness protects him. "We desire, that in conformity with these dispositions, you direct the prayers of the faithful, whom providence has entrusted to you. Let us all ask of God, that he deigns to let fall upon us his spirit of peace and wisdom: let us adore every passion, that we may be occupied alone by such sentiments as ought to animate us, and which the general interests of this monarchy inspires: let the exercises of religion, tranquility and happiness succeed to the discords to which we have been a prey, let us return thanks to God for the success which he has been pleased to grant to the arms of our august brother and powerful ally, the emperor of the French, who has had no other end in supporting our rights by his power, than to procure to Spain a long peace, founded on her independence. "The French army will evacuate the Spanish provinces as tranquility shall be spread, and as they shall unite around our throne. "Our will is, that you order each of the curates of your diocese to sing a solemn Te Deum the first Sunday after the receipt of this letter. "Given at our palace of Madrid, the 24th of Jan. 1809. (Signed) "I THE KING. "The minister secretary of state of this majesty. "MARIANO LOUIS D'URQUINO."
LONDON, March 27. Since our last three Lisbon mails have arrived, two of them reached town this morning, bringing accounts down to March 17. A fleet from Portsmouth arrived at Oporto the 11th. The accounts by this channel, from the Marquis de Romana, are, we understand, down to the 3d of March, at which time a corps of his army had re-entered Galicia, by Verin and the mountains of Orense, and seized a large quantity of artillery and stores belonging to Soult's army, Peuble de Tribes, after defeating its escort on the banks of the Navea, which owing to the breaking of the bridge, they had been unable to pass.
From the reports which have lately been made of the numbers, the condition, and the spirit of the Austrian army we derive hopes of an auspicious opening of the campaign on the continent. The enlarged powers with which the Archduke Charles is entrusted, the confidence which he is known to inspire, and the skill with which he is known to direct his troops, are further pledges of the success we anticipate. Even Russia after all the boasts of Bonaparte, that the emperor Alexander was entirely with him, either for peace or for war, will scarcely venture openly and directly to espouse the French interest. There is an opposition to it which hangs like a cloud over the head of the Autocrat in which he plainly reads that the fate of his father may be his own. It is only fear however that can restrain him; and this restraint may in some measure perhaps, be removed by the unfortunate revolution which has just taken place in Sweden. It certainly opens a new aspect of things in the North of Eu-
rope, and is pregnant with matter for serious reflection. When the mail left Dover last night, a French Flag of Truce was coming into the Bay. It is possible her dispatches relate to something else than an exchange of prisoners, as it had been ascertained, by a boat which she sent in, that she had on board a Russian Messenger from Calais. Mr. Mantell, the agent for prisoners of war, went off to bring the Messenger on shore, and was just landing when the mail came away. General Sharbrooke's division, as we have before stated, had arrived at Lisbon, making the British force in that quarter amount to from 18 to 20,000 men. We have before stated that the Marquis de Romana had retreated upon Chaves in good order. The accounts now received are rather confused; but so far as we can understand them, he has since retreated from that quarter, which seems now to be occupied with the French force of about 7000 men. It appears, by some letters, that Romana has proceeded towards Lisbon, proposing to unite with the British and Portuguese in that quarter, and to act in conjunction with them against the common enemy. The French were reported to be in the neighbourhood of Oporto , if not in possession of the place, but had not approached Lisbon at the departure of the Gleaner.
LATEST FROM CHINA. By the Projector , arrived at New-York from Canton, we learn that an expedition fitted out at Bengal and Penang , under the direction of Admiral Drury , for the purpose of taking possession of Mocoa , a Mocoa Roads on the 11th September last. Immediately after his arrival, the admiral demanded of the Portuguese Government a surrender of the place, which was peremptorily refused him, and nothing further respecting it, than negotiations took place till the 20th, when about 300 soldiers, with two or three pieces of artillery, were landed and put in possession of one of the forts.
Previous to the landing of the troops, admiral Drury had made every preparation of the boats and men belonging to the squadron, for taking the town by assault; to prevent which, the governor consented that there should be no opposition to the landing of the troops, and that they might garrison the forts, upon which, however, they were not permitted to hoist English colours.
The Chinese now interfered, and ordered admiral Drury to leave the place, alleging that he had made an encroachment upon the territory of the empire which could not be submitted to. He persisted in keeping his troops on shore, and declared his determination to hold the town at all hazards. In consequence, the Viceroy of the Province issued an order on the 25th of Sept. forbidding the landing of any cargoes from, and sending an on board the English ships, of which there were between forty and fifty lying at Whampoa . An entire suspension of trade ensued, and continued three months, during which time the admiral visited Canton, attended by all the boats, and about 2,000 men from the ships. The object of this visit was to obtain an interview with the Viceroy, who haughtily refused to admit him into his presence, and treated him with contempt.
On the 19th November, admiral Drury ordered all the English subjects to quit Canton in three days, and repair on board the ships of their nation at Whampoa . Ten days after, he attempted another visit to Canton with the launches and other boats of the fleet strongly armed, but was driven back by the Chinese, who had stationed some man of war Junks five or six miles below the city, where the boats were fired at and stopped.
From this time till the 20th of December, all communication between Canton and the ships at Whampoa , and all supplies of provisions were strictly forbidden, and no Englishman was suffered to remain in Canton, or return to that city. One gentleman, in attempting to get in there by stealth, was discovered, carried into the city, and there kept in confinement during the continuance of the difficulties.
Finding that his expedients to induce the Chinese to concede at, or consent to his holding Mocoa were ineffectual, the admiral abandoned the enterprise, withdrew his troops, and left Mocoa for Bengal about the first day of January last. As this was a compliance with the conditions required by the Chinese, the trade with the English was renewed. (Mercantile Advertiser.)

POETRY.
PATIENCE: A TALE.
(From the Sun.)
Twas at some country place a parson preaching, The virtue of long suffering was teaching; And so pathetically did exhort His listening congregation, and, in short, Discours'd so much of Job, and how he bore With such exceeding patience his woes, Faith 'twas enough to make a man suppose Job wish'd for more.
Meaning perhaps that, since 'tis plain, How needlessly we grieve at pain; How would it be if a man Pursu'd a different plan, And were to laugh, and treat the matter lightly; And not, when tortur'd with the gout, To make wry faces, roar and shout, But look agreeable and sprightly.
'And pray, d'ye think, my dearest life,' Exclam'd the Parson's wife, 'As after church they sat In courteous chat, 'That 'tis a man's nature to endure The sad extremity of woe That Job, you say, did undergo? 'Tis more than I could do, I'm sure.'
'My dear,' quoth he, 'this diffidence Shows, let me tell you, great good sense, A talent in your sex we seldom see; And doubtless the remark is true As far as it extends to you, Though not, I think, to me.'
'No woman, since the world began, Could bear misfortune like a man. And in good truth, 'twixt you and me, And that without much vanity, I do conceive that I myself have shown, That patience, and that strength of mind, Were not entirely confin'd To Job alone.'
Thus said the modest Priest, and would have said much more, But for the sudden opening of the door, When out of breath, in stumps, His clownsish servant Numps, With mouth wide open, on the Parson gazing— Just like the wight Who drew old Priam's curtain in the night, To tell him Troy was blazing.
'Well, Numps, the matter? speak! why look so pale? Has any thing gone wrong?' Quoth Numps, 'The ale! What!' cries the Priest, 'the ale gone sour?' (And then his phiz began to lower;) 'Turn'd sour! No, master, no,' replied the fellow; 'But just now as I went, d'ye see, To till the cask—away roll'd the ale, And all the liquor spilt about the cellar.'
The fact was, Numps a cask of ale had stov'd: Now d'ye think what the Priest behav'd— Did he pull his wig, or tear his hair? On, like that sullen fellow Job, Throw ashes on his head, or rend his robe? Nay, how did he this dire misfortune bear? As thus, in voice of pious resignation, He to his man address'd this mild oration:
'May God confound thee, thou damn'd stupid bear!' (The best of Priests, you know, will sometimes swear!) 'What! thou must meddle, must you, With the barrel, and he cure t'ye! I wish thy paws were in the fire—Odd 'em! Get thee down stairs this instant, wretch, On, by the living God, I'll kick thy breech From top to bottom.'
'Nay, now, my dearest,' cried the Dame, 'Is this your patience? fie for shame! I beg you'll recollect your text; Job was not half so vex'd, When he held his sons and daughters to be wail'd.' 'Damn all his sons and daughters if you choose; Answer me this, I say—Did Job e'er lose A barrel of such ale?'
A FIEND IN HUMAN GUISE.
Never was justice more justly rendered, than to the monster whose cruelties are narrated in the following short sketch of his trial.
(From the New-York American Citizen.)
AMOS BROAD.—At a special session of the peace, held in this city, on Tuesday the 28th ult. Amos Broad and his wife were tried on three separate indictments, for beating their female slave and her male child but three years old. The trial is published at large by Henry C. Southwick, No. 2, Wall Street, in a cheap pamphlet, and from this we condense the facts, which were given in testimony, and will hereafter copy the eloquent address, at length, of Mr. Sandford, as we find it against an appeal to the court for mercy, and the generous and manly arguments of Mr. Wilkin, in behalf of the FIVE CHILDREN of the arraigned.
The only apology that can be offered, if one be at all necessary, for giving this publicity to cruelties so refined and horrible, is that the legitimate end of all legal punishments is example. To avoid repetition, I will here remark, that Mrs. Broad the mother of five children, sometimes connived at, and at others added to the remorseless cruelties her husband inflicted upon his helpless slaves. The savage barbarities were inflicted on the unfortunate mother for years. The culprits were brought to justice by the humane and benevolent institution, the Manumission Society.
Betty the mother, was during an unknown length of time, frequently locked up in a garret, with her hands tied over her head, kept without food and whipped. When in perfect health, Broad would make her swallow, for his sport, large doses of Glauber salts, and immediately order her to go into the cistern to clean it.
When by accident, she fill'd the teapot a little too full with water, he would order her to hold out her hand and pour hot water upon it, coolly and cruelly observing, "I am not a good doctor to do doctor Negroes!" Often did he strip her entirely naked, in presence of his five children and congenial wife, and compel her to go about the house, kindle fires, &c. At other times when quite naked, he would turn her out into the yard in the coldest weather, where she was on the ground, and keep her there half an hour at a time—the poor slave begging for her clothes, and admission into the house. In this condition he would throw bowls of water upon her—all this was done in savage wantonness, for it was testified that Betty's character and conduct were good. On Sarah, but three years old, the child of Betty, many cruelties were practiced. Broad to pamper his insatiable appetite for inhuman cruelty, would violently rub its
face upon the carpet, until the blood flowed!
He kicked the baby, knocked it down repeatedly, and once threw it upon a bank of snow. He kept a shop and made the baby stand by the door in the coldest weather and when tired with walking to and fro, would not allow it to sit; but when nature was exhausted, it would do so, he would kick it; sometimes he would nip the infant's ear, and at others lift her up by it. With a kick, this monster has sent the baby across the shop!
With standing by the door the infant's ancles became swelled; she was froth-bitten and crippled with kicking and bad treatment! Mrs. Broad would add horsewhipping to this diabolic usage; The little girl's head was cut open by a knife which was thrown at her, & Dr. Gamage, who was sent for to dress it, was told it was occasioned by a fall.
Before the jury pronounced a verdict of guilty against Broad and his wife the wretch to avert it, or if possible to mitigate punishment, manumitted his slaves in open court.
The virtuous and enlightened jury pronounced them guilty, requested of the court that the polite manumission should not be overrated—Broad was sentenced to four months imprisonment, including his wife and to a fine of $1250. The delicate situation of Mrs. Broad freed her from the sentence of confinement.
PATENT IMPENETRABLE STUCCO, OR CEMENT.
A substitute for Slates, Tiles and Shingles, to cover the roofs of houses and other buildings, &c.
Its colour is of a dark and brilliant slate, which is the prevailing taste. Should a house be on fire, and a brand from it be lodged on the roof of an adjacent building covered with this stucco, the brand will not communicate fire to the roof.
There are a variety of valuable trees which are only used for ornament, as for example, Lombardy poplar , which cannot when worked up with stucco and the changes of weather and like with the gum , (which must always be confined to one element) the willow &c. &c. All these might, by the aid of this stucco, be a substitute in building, where the oak, the pine, the cypress, the juniper, &c. are used. In short it is (as expressed in the patent) a substitute for shingles, and tiles, but may be used for many other purposes.
The preparation of this composition may be made throughout the year in any town and on every farm and plantation, and there with cover any building, at the early cost of one cent the square foot; but its application can only properly have effect when put on in serene weather from the spring to the fall. The patentee labored under great disadvantages in the experiments he had the honor to make in the presence of the honorable justices of the supreme court, as the stucco was applied to the shingle in a very tempestuous and stormy season, yet it did not fail.
Those gentlemen who may be desirous of obtaining the privilege from the patentee for making and using impenetrable stucco for any town, county, district, state, plantation or farm, will be pleased to make application to the inventor, P. P. Baltimore, or to his agent H. Elliott, esq. attorney at law, in the city of Washington. Letters post-paid will be attended to.
N. B. Pinters throughout the United States of America, who possess the so much applauded amor patet , and who are the admirers and disciples of Drs. Faunt and Franklin, will give now and then an insertion to the above in their valuable publications. [Monitor.]

The Beautiful and Complete Native Arabian Horse, SELIM.
WILL stand the ensuing season, to commence the tenth of March, and expire the tenth of July, at my farm in Fayette county, six miles from Lexington, at twenty dollars the season, or thirty to ensure a mare to be with foal, or 15 dollars the single leap, to be paid at the expiration of the season.
SELIM is a superbly formed Horse, fourteen and a half hands high, possessing more bone and muscle than any horse in America of his size, and no doubt can be entertained of his being a genuine Arabian. Pasturage for mares gratis, but no responsibility.
Feb. 28th, 1809. B. GRAVES.
I do hereby certify, that I have bred two years from the genuine and uncommonly fine Arabian horse Selim, and that his colts are large and fine, and in my opinion not inferior to any ever foaled mine, both as to size and form. From the manner in which I became possessed of this horse, there can be no doubt of his being the best blood Arabian can produce, as he was presented by Murad Bey to Gen. Abercromby, who intended him for England, where he would have been taken had the General not have died. After his death Maj. Ramsay, a British officer purchased him and sold a part of him to commodore Baron, who brought him to America. For the half of this horse I gave commodore Baron $1500. This horse I have sent out to Maj. Benjamin Graves, near Lexington Kentucky. Given under my hand, this 10th of November, 1808. John Taylor.
Mount Airy, Virginia.
We the subscribers do certify, that we have seen several of the colts gotten by the Arabian horse Selim, and think them in no degree inferior to those got by the most celebrated horses. Ephraim Beasley, William Monday, David Johnston.
Prince William county, Virg. Jan. 10, 1808.
I do hereby certify, that I put a small blooded mare to the Arabian horse Selim last year, and she produced a very fine colt, both as to size, beauty and strength, and indeed far exceeded my expectations from the mare—I can further say, that I have seen other colts got by Selim, and think myself a judge of horse flesh, and do declare they are in my opinion fine and large. William Holburn.
Richmond county, 10th Nov. 1808. I have seen the colts alluded to by Mr. Holburn, and agree with him in opinion. Given under my hand, this 11th day of November, 1808. Benjamin Baughton.
I do certify that when I went to Hampton after Selim, for John Taylor esq. that I saw a colt of Laurence Gibbons of Yorktown, Virginia, rising two years old, got by Selim out of a very small mare—it was uncommonly large, and among the finest colts I ever saw. Gibbons had been offered 200 for it—and the report of the people in the lower country was, that its colts were uncommonly fine. Given under my hand this 9th day of January, 1809. Francis Evans.
I do certify, that I have a colt got by Selim, out of a small mare, which is large and handsome—and I do think equal to the get of any horse in Virginia. Given under my hand this 9th day of Jan. 1809. John Stone.
The above mentioned colts was foaled about the 1st of June last, and is upwards of four feet three inches high. John Stone.

GREENVILLE SPRINGS, MERCER COUNTY, KENTUCKY.
THE subscriber has made the greatest exertions since the last season, to render this as pleasant, agreeable and convenient, as any watering place in America; and is happy in having it in his power now to announce to the public, that he has been so far successful as to be able to accommodate, with convenience to himself, and comfort to visitors, more than double the number that were here during the last year. Besides finishing the buildings that were then commenced, he will, in a few weeks, have erected more than double the quantity; among which are several porches, one of which is 112 feet long, designed for the convenience of such part of the company as may choose occasionally to assemble together. His ball rooms are elegantly finished, and he has erected, in addition to his former stables, one that will conveniently accommodate upwards of one hundred horses; he has also considerably enlarged his pastures.
This place is situated at the centre of the state as any place of any notoriety in it; it is within a short day's ride of Frankfort, Lexington, and several other flourishing towns in different directions. It is surrounded by a fertile country, rich and populous settlements, and is directly in the vicinity of two pleasant and flourishing villages, one of which is Danville, at which can be had as good accommodations, and as elegant fare as is to be met with in this state; and being only eight miles distant from this place, with a fine road between them, makes a very pleasant and agreeable morning's or evening's ride.
As to the efficacy of the water, it has been attested by not only the visitors at the two former seasons, but by near fifteen hundred who were here last season, among whom were some of the most eminent physicians in the western country, all of whom concurred in attributing to it, all the virtue that water could possess. Its direct effects are, sedative, diuretic and cathartic, and more particularly and universally the latter, leaving the bowels invariably in a laxative habit; it has been used with great success in the gravel, rheumatism, breast complaints, cholic, general debility, and all kinds of nervous and bilious affections; and it possesses equal virtue at any season of the year, being neither increased by floods nor diminished by droughts.
Visitors may rest assured, that no exertions will be wanting to accommodate them to their entire satisfaction; and the best bands of music are engaged to attend during the present season, for the amusement of dancing parties. T. B. Eastland. May 10th, 1809. G.W.
