The Kentucky Hotel.

A FRESH SUPPLY OF LEE AND SON'S PATENT & FAMILY MEDICINES, RECEIVED AND FOR SALE BY SCOTT, TROTTER & CO. LEXINGTON.
Lee's Worm-Destroying Lozenges. This medicine is superior to any ever offered to the public, being innocent and mild, certain and efficacious in its operations. Should no worms exist in the body, it will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. For the prevention and cure of bilious and malignant fevers, is recommended.
Lee's Anti-Bilious Pills, Prepared by Richard Lee & Son, Baltimore. Persons willing to purchase this valuable medicine, are requested to be particular in enquiring for LEE's anti-bilious pills, put up in wooden boxes, having on the outside wrapper, the signature of Richard Lee and Son—this is necessary, as there are pills of the same name.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite—produce a fresh peristalsis, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequence—a dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual colic, flatulency at the stomach, and severe headache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate. They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preferred for use by every seaman.
Lee's Elixir, A sovereign remedy for Coughs, obdurate Coughs, Catarrhs, Asthmas, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumption. To parents who may have Children affected with the Whooping-Cough. This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time, entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
Lee's Genuine Essence and Extract of Mustard. A fine and effectual remedy for acute and chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Palsy, Lumbago, Numbness, White-Swelling, Chilblains and Sprains, Bruises, Rains in the Face and Neck, &c.
Lee's Grand Restorative proves by long experience to be unequalled in the cure of Nervous Disorders, Consumption, Lowness of Spirits, Inward Weakness, &c. Twenty thousand cures have been performed by Lee's Sovereign Ointment for the Itch which is warranted an infallible remedy by one application, without mercury of any other pernicious ingredients, being entirely a vegetable preparation.
Ague and Fever Drops, for the cure of Agues, Remittent and Intermitent Fever.
Persian Lotion, celebrated for the cure of Ringworms, Tettars, and all Eruptions of the skin, rendering it soft and smooth.
Lee's Genuine Eye-Water, an effectual remedy for all diseases of the Eye. Tooth-Ache Drops, which give immediate relief.
Lee's Corn Plaster. Damask Lip Salve. Restorative Powder, for the Teeth and Gums.
The Anodyne Elixir, for the cure of every kind of Head-Ache. Indian Vegetable Specific, a certain and never-failing cure for Venereal complaints. The mildness of the Vegetable specific is equal to its surprising efficacy; its operation is so gentle that it is given to Venereal patients in a state of pregnancy, with the utmost safety.
With the Medicine is given a Bill of Directions, and on the outside wrapper, the signature of "P. Lee and Son," if particular attention is not paid to the signature, it is probable that disappointment will be the consequence. Six dollars a ward. RAN AWAY from the subscriber, about the last of May, an apprentice to the Black Smith's business, named Samuel Clarke; he is between 17 and 12 years of age, fair hair and skin. Whoever will deliver the above boy to the subscriber, living four miles from Lexington, on Russell's road, shall receive the above reward, but no charges paid. James Talbert. July 22, 1809.
Maps, Prints, &c. THE subscriber begs leave to inform the public, that he has made a contract for a large quantity of MAPS of different countries, and a variety of PRINTS, which he offers for sale very low for cash, or such trade as can be agreed on amongst them are the following: Map of the N. W. Territory, Kentucky, New-England, Gibraltar, North America, Europe, Africa, Italy, West India Islands, Travels of the Apostles, &c. John R. Shaw. Lexington, July 22d, 1809.
Strayed from the subscriber, living in Georgetown, about the last of April, a pair of twin steers, three years old, brindle and white, their horns turn inwards toward the points; there is very little difference to be observed between them except one is a darker brindle than the other. Any person giving information of said steers, so that I get them again, shall be generously rewarded, and all reasonable charges paid by Saml. Sheppard. Georgetown, 19th July, 1809.

They will promise us "indemnity for the past and security for the future," but who will believe their promises? No man! There may and will be those who may affect to believe in British faith, but after this news, and before unheard of acts of treachery, it is morally impossible that any man can sincerely believe they will do us justice unless we use the rhetoric of Bayonets and the arguments of Cannon Balls. —(Demo.

In a handbill on Friday last, we barely men-tioned the receipt of the important intelli-gence from England. In this day's Gazette will be seen the new orders in council, and Mr Canning's declaration when called on in the British Parliament. What will be the course of our government we cannot pretend to say, nor do the Washington papers to the 28th July inform us; but if it takes place with the feelings of the people, neither Mr. Jackson nor any other individual purporting to be an agent of the British government, will ever be received, or acknowledged as such, during the reign of the present mon-arch. For, whatever powers a minister may have received, and whatever faith may be placed in his representations by our govern-ment, Mr. Canning, that jesuitical minister, whole whole intercourse with the U. States has been a chain of duplicity and intrigue, has only to declare the acts of such agent un-authorised and all their force is lost.
We trust a union of sentiment will now pervade all parts of the union, and all classes of its citizens—that every apologist of the perfidious nation who has heaped on us insults and injuries innumerable, will re-ceive the name and the treatment he will merit—the name of Tory, and a suit of tar and feathers, or a halter.—That all distinc-tions of party except Whig and Tory will be done away; and that we rise as one man, and redress our wrongs, or give up the name of Independence.
Extract of a letter from John Pope, Esq. dated Washington City, 26th July, 1809, to his friend in Lexington.
"The President and the heads of depart-ments will be convened here next week.— Mr Erskine is expected here from Philadel-phia this evening, and the new minister Mr. Jackson will probably arrive in a few days."
The tenth Bulletin of the French army states, that the Austrians were pursued across the Danube—that Bonaparte, with a part only of the army crossed in the even-ing—that during the night the water raised with such rapidity as to sweep off all the bridges and prevent the crossing of the re-mainder—that the Austrians on discovering Bonaparte's situation, rallied, and drove him back, until he got possession of an island in the river where he maintained his position.
FOR THE KENTUCKY GAZETTE.
CATO, NO. IV.
It had been my intention to have pursued the course I have adopted, and to have shown the effects of the narrow policy of your re-presentatives upon several other of the of-fices of your government. But after having written this much, I reflected, that I had fad a sufficiency to prove the correctness of the ground I had taken—That low salaries was not a saving to the state. If the people are disposed to think, and to reflect seriously on this subject, there is enough already be-fore them to enable them to trace the evil in other offices: If they will not think for themselves, my writing would be of no ser-vice.
One of the serious evils resulting to the community from this policy is, that men of talents when in office, finding no inducement to continue there, hold it but a short time, and betake themselves to other pursuits.— Whereas if a man of secondary or inferior qualifications get into office, he, in general, sticks to it like a tar-pit to its shell. They are united for life.
Now were there no difficulties on the score of salary, this changing is always attended with risk; a prejudiced executive; power-ful rieds—or other things of the kind would sometimes place improper men in office. It will happen under any government, you may then calculate to a certainty, that whilst your representatives continue to pursue their present policy, that men of suitable talents for office will only remain in your service for a year or two, but that those who are un-qualified will serve you a lifetime.
Look to your circuit court system, and you will find that the men who have voluntarily quit that bench for other pursuits, were generally the men who gave the most satisfac-tion.
The office of attorney general is another striking example of the correctness of the a-bove remark. Nicholas, Murray and Breck-bridge, successively held the appointment. They each found that the salary was not ad-equate to the duties of the office—and they resigned. These three men did not on an a-verage hold the office much more than a year. Another was appointed, who certainly did not rank with them in point of legal acquire-ments. And the office has ever since remain-ed in the same hands.
I cannot pass over in silence the project set on foot by the legislature of 1801, to revise and bring into one book, the whole of your criminal common law. It is not my inten-tion to speak now of the wisdom of the pro-ject except so far as it has a bearing upon the general policy of your representatives, with relation to money matters.
It was then said that many of the first law characters in the state, thought that the work if not impracticable would require the labour and research of some pre-eminent mind for years. And that such a character was not easily to be procured.
None of our first law characters would un-dertake it. They knew it would require more labour than was expected; and they knew the narrow policy of your representatives was such, that a compensation adequate to command first rate talents was not to be ex-pected.
However, the law was passed and the work directed to be prepared. And your govern-ment, as if it was always to be satisfied with men of small pretension, confided it to a cler-gyman and to a lawyer of not very attentive habits. To have selected a clergyman to make a revision of the common law, was a-bout as judicious as it would be to employ a blacksmith to build a framed house. But it was a money saving project. The work has now been completed several years—and what is it? A mere extract from other works of general merit—made with about as much wisdom as a girl of ten years old would dis-play in cutting up her calico frocks to make a bed quilt of patch-work. This cost you about 5000 dollars, and left you where you began, except a little experience, if you choose to profit by it.
Whilst your representatives are thus flint-ing other departments, it would be but a reasonable conclusion to suppose that they are equally saving with relation to the ex-penditure of public money, by themselves.— It is true, I may admit, that they are equal-ly saving—that is, they fickle at small sums, and spend large ones.
I do not complain that their wages are too high per day. They ought to receive such wages that after paying the usual expenses at the seat of government, would leave them enough to pay a hand to look to their farms &c. while they are from home. I suppose their present wages do not amount to more than will do this. But I do charge your re-presentatives with a most shameful profusion of public money, in wasting their time upon subjects that they ought not to touch, or ought to regulate by general laws.
I ask those who doubt the correctness of this remark to look to the acts of the last fel-lion, (or of any other felon if they are more convenient) and see if more than half of the laws they pass are not of some special nature, which does not concern the public at large. If a man and wife are too ill-natured to live in peace together, your representatives must pass a law to let them try it awhile with some other.
If a county court are too ignorant or too negligent to do their duty, and act illegally, your representatives, (those watchful guardians of the rights of the people) instead of removing them from office, must spend days in solemn fittings, to legalise their proceed-ings.
If a sheriff does not do his duty with re-lation to the public, (for example, if he fails to return his delinquent list in time for the au-ditor to send it to the proper county for col-lection the ensuing year) your representa-tives must sanction his neglect, and spend 2 or 300 dollars to save him 20 or 30, which his mismanagement has lost to the state.
If a man dies without a will, or does not make such an one as his friends like, your legislature must interfere and make a will for him; that is, they will direct his land to be sold, and direct the money to be applied—as to their wisdom may seem just.
People of Kentucky! I am not adding ought to the list of the folly and profusion of your representatives in this particular. If any of your representatives deny that this is the case, I will pledge myself to you to take your statute book and show act after act of these kinds.
It is by attention to such business as this, that your representatives spin out a session to the length of seven, eight or nine weeks.
It is thus that they have drained your trea-sury; and, shameful to relate, knowingly, permit a flat debt to be accumulating on you already your state owes many thousand dol-lars. You are paying interest on it; that debt is accumulating; and no steps are be-ing taken to meet it.
Why have they not been taken? You are surely able to pay a few pence more—the man who pays one shilling tax, were it to pay fifteen pence, this would be more than enough to redeem you from debt and to give reasonable salaries to your officers of govern-ment. I say reasonable salaries, for I am op-posed to extravagant as well as niggardly pay. I would have such salaries given as would se-cure the men with the best talents for office. Those who would command the public confi-dence. If an office is worth creating in a gov-ernment, it is surely worth having suitable talents in it. Were I as an individual about to have a coat made, I would surely employ a good workman to make it, for if I could afford to wear a coat, I could afford to pay a good tailor to make it.
To have stated alone that if the man whose tax was a shilling were to pay fifteen pence, it would answer all the purposes of govern-ment—There is surely no man so poor but could pay this difference and pay it cheer-fully; it would not do more than enable him to take one drink of grog less in the year—If this is all the effect it would have on the poor, those who are rich cannot complain. If they have so much property as to make this increase of taxes an object, they are bet-ter able to pay it: out of the abundance of the rich, ought the expenses of the gov-ernment be borne.
It would to a man not acquainted with our habits be a matter of curiosity to know why it is, that your representatives pursue this course. I will have charity enough to be-lieve that many of them have not a suffi-ciency of reflection to see these things so obvious to a mind of any thinking. They may literally claim the benefit of one of the last prayers of deity when embodied in hu-man shape. "Father forgive them they know not what they do!"
Other members who have more mind but less honesty, know that they have not per-sonally any claims to the public confidence—and by flattering the prejudices of the unin-formed create themselves a temporary pop-ularity.
If these men really had it in mind to save money to the state, would they, to save ten, twelve, or fifteen dollars in the appropria-tion bill, call for the yeas and nays and by that call run the state to the expense of at least double those sums? And yet this is a very common thing in your house of rep-re-sentatives with your money saving men.— These men are therefore either deceiving you or themselves. I have thus given you my reflection on a course of policy pursued by your govern-ment. I have said a good deal—much more might be said. I have, however, concluded to drop my pen for the present. It is possible if I,
see a spirit of investigation arise, that I may resume it at some future period, and print out other subjects that demand your atten-tion. If you remain much longer in the state of indifference to your public concerns, which you have hitherto for some time past, no-thing but some serious calamity will arouse you.
I have shown you that a more liberal policy as to salaries, would be a saving to the people. And that a moderate increase of taxes is indispensable. Your representatives may put off increasing the taxes for a year or two, but if they do, they will then have to increase them double what would now an-swer the purpose. There is but one method I can force which will remove the necessity of an increase of taxes, but I despair of that being resorted to.
It is for your representatives to banish from them the crowd of private and lo-cal subjects which improperly consumes themselves closely to the public business.— This can be attended to in four weeks, if they will adjourn at the end of that time, it will save you many thousand dollars. It depends upon your next legislature to set a laudable example of reform. That they may do so is the fervent prayer of CATO.
A melancholy instance of the effect of un-governed passion (in modern language, dis-appointed love) happened a few days ago in Halifax county, in this state. A young man named William Parker, by trade a car-penter, had for a long time courted a young woman named Dolly Gridden, with the con-sent of her family. Some impropriety in his conduct, or some misunderstanding on her part, had delayed and finally broke off the engagement. On the 5th inst. the parties had dined in company together, where it is probable something of an irritating nature took place, when the man went off, full of his murderous intent, and rode nine miles to bar-agon professedly to kill a deer. On his re-turn home, he met the unfortunate victim riding in company with some female friends; the moment he appeared, she screamed out "He will kill me," and began to weep. He advanced and very coolly told the girls in company not to be alarmed, as the charge was for her—too totally he spoke the truth; in an instant the ball entered her side and she fell! He again charged the piece and pointed the deadly instrument to her breast; it missed fire—he took out his knife, hacked the flint, and again drew the trigger when the gun faithful to its purpose, discharged its load in-to his body: He staggered to a fence, and requesting the young women to pray for him returned and fell near the victim of his rage and expired!
A negro boy who attended the females, rode off on the first discharge of the piece and met some gentlemen, one of whom was a medical man, who came up just in time to see them both expire! —(Keleigb Reg.)

PROSPECTUS, FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, A NEW PA-PER, TO BE ENTITLED THE INDEPENDENT REPUBLICAN. To be printed weekly at Chillicothe, the present seat of Government for the state of Ohio. BY PETER PARCELL.
To a liberal and discerning public, who are al-ways ready to encourage an honest zeal for the general welfare, and for the preservation of our rights and liberties, these Proposals are respect-fully submitted. It is a pleasing reflection to every true American, that he lives under a republican government, where the freedom of the Press is re-alized in all its enjoyments. To preserve and per-petuate this inestimable blessing, and to contrib-ute as far as possible in support of the genuine Whig principles of '76, is the anxious aim of the Editor in issuing this Prospectus.
The freedom of the Press is the sacred "Palla-dium of liberty;" and to exercise this right, un-moved by favoritism, and unawed by the terrors of the great, is the duty of an independent editor. In times like the present, when dangers with-out, and divisions within, pervade the country; while Europe is crimsoned with the blood of her citizens, and British intrigue and Gallic conquest find no limit, it becomes the duty of freemen to avow their claims, and thro' the medium of the press, speak TRUTHS to the people, that will be understood.
The horrid devastations on the eastern conti-nent, will ever be a warning to the NEW WORLD, and inculcate the maxim—"United we stand," in defiance of all enemies.
However incredible! That there should be lurking in the bosom of our country, a private jun-to of "Choice Spirits," who are secretly conspir-ing to revive the fallen hopes of their Leader, and by dividing the republican interest, thereby effect a separation of the states; it is, much to be feared there is reason for the alarm.—But vigilant to his duty, the editor will be solicitous to drag the cul-prit to public view, and in whatever garb he may appear, to expose him to the vengeance of an indig-nant people.
It is under a feigned pretence of patriotism, that men with imposing names often plot the ruin of their country; and even in our own times, there are men of this description, who had been high in the confidence of our government, till their views were detected.—Ever mindful of his trust, the edi-tor will beware of such false styled patriots, and as a occasion may require, will
"Beg to make their immortal treasons known." Having long been concerned in the establish-ment of the Sciota Gazette, those who have known that paper, will entertain no doubt of my general politics. The political principles of the INDE-PENDENT REPUBLICAN, will be those of Washington, Jefferson, and Madison, his successor, whose political labors entitle him to the choicest affections of the American people.
To those who may favor me with their patron-age, I publicly avow, that my political principles are Republican, and that my constant effort shall be to support the constitution and liberties of my country. As man is liable to err, I shall claim no exemption from human frailty; but as my intentions are honorable, my patrons may be assured, that every error when discovered, shall be spec-ily corrected.
The editor will at all times be thankful for the aid of moral, literary and political productions; but he will never condescend to become subservi-ent to the private views of any man. All person-alities shall be avoided, unless by way of reply to unwarrantable attacks; in which case, the aggress-or (if worthy of notice) will be holden responsi-ble. My object will be to give to my patrons, ex-tracts of the earliest foreign intelligence; the coming news of the day; all deceit, interesting & amusing essays and discussions which may be presented; and, from time to time, publish the proceedings of the national and state legislatures, so far as they have been, or may be interesting to the public.
Relying on the assistance of an intelligent gen-tlemen from a neighboring state, and having made the necessary preparations for a new and elegant set of type, the work will be executed in the best style, upon a royal sheet; and should proper encouragement be given, at the expiration of six months, the size will be extended to a super-royal. By conducting the paper upon these principles, the editor fondly flatters himself with the patron-age of the honest politician, the agriculturist, me-chanic, and the man of business.
TERMS OF PUBLICATION. 1. The Independent Republican, will be pub-lished weekly, on some convenient day, suitable to the arrival and departure of the different mails. 2. The price will be two dollars and fifty cents per annum, paid half yearly in advance, or two dol-lars in advance will be received as the amount of one year's subscription. 3. Advertisements not exceeding a square, will be inserted three times for one dollar, & every sub-sequent insertion twenty five cents—Longer ones in proportion. 4. The editor will commence the publication of the above paper, on or before the middle of Sep-tember next. Chillicothe, August 1st, 1809.

A very singular circumstance occurred on Friday night last, to a son of Mr. Brooks at Staplehurst, about nine years old. In his sleep he went out of the garret window in which he usually slept, got to the roof of the house about the distance of ten feet over, and down the other side near forty feet, and jumped off full sixty feet to the ground.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT.
Extract of a letter from Portsmouth, (N. H.) July 5.
"Undoubtedly verbal accounts will have reached Boston, ere this will come to your hands, of a most tragical and distressing event which took place at Fort Constitution (in this harbor) between four and five o'clock yesterday afternoon, by the blowing up of two casks of Powder and about thirty cartridges of fix and eight pounds, making about 300 wt. of powder in the whole, which killed and wounded 14 or 15 citizens and soldiers."
Extract of another letter.
"I am sorry to inform you of a most distressing accident that happened yesterday afternoon at Fort Constitution, in the mouth of this harbour; which for divers, exceeds any thing known in this town for many years. In discharging the cannon about 5 o'clock, some fire (unknown how) communicated to the ammunition chest, which it is said contained 400 wt. of powder, and immediately blew up. Six persons were known to be killed instantly, and twelve more dangerously wounded; besides a great many that were on the ramparts, of whom it is impossible to tell the fate; one that was brought up to town last night died this morning of his wounds. The body of one of the soldiers was picked up this forenoon near the fort, being blown over into the sea. It was a most horrid sight to see the mangled and torn bodies lying in every direction. A leg in one place, a head in another. One man was instantly reduced to atoms; the other part of another man's body was found parted in the middle, the other part is not yet discovered. I was on the spot not five minutes before the explosion, with I should think 100 people, when music being heard we left the place; had it not been for this fortunate circumstance, we undoubtedly should have shared the fate of our unfortunate companions. Capt. Walbach's house was nearly destroyed, had it not have been for the chimney the whole would have fallen, and its inhabitants buried in the ruins. Capt. W. was not hurt. His lady was twice thrown down, although but slightly injured. Five of the bodies with the fragments of others are to be buried this afternoon. The names of those known are Sergeant Albert; two privates, M'Daniel & Whitman; Mr. Pickering, of Newington; and a boy belonging to Kittery. People are musing, and their friends are anxiously enquiring after them—it is feared there are a great many that never will be found. [Boston Palladium.]
ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE.
The Pennsylvania Society of the Cincinnati, the remnant of our revolutionary veterans, to whom the political birth day of their country is peculiarly dear, having convened at the State House to transact the business of the Society—The following pathetic address, introductory of the annexed resolution, was made by Col. Francis Johnston to the Society.
Mr. President, And Brethren of the Cincinnati,
This present anniversary of our independence may, perhaps, be the last which will collect so many of us, thus happily together. In order then to avail ourselves of the fleeting moment, I cannot conceive a theme more consonant to justice, & congenial with our feelings, than to record on our annals, the honorable achievements of our compatriots in arms, who had fought and bled, and honorably died in their Country's cause.
GENERAL ANTHONY WAYNE.
The early, undisguised, firm and undeviating Patriot! The brave, persevering and unadorned Warrior! Whom disaster, disappointment and defeat, in the early stages of his military career, never appalled or dismayed—Whose military fame, though not perpetuated by Government, on Monuments of Brass or Marble, still remains in the hearts of his countrymen—GENERAL WAYNE was, at the early dawn of our Revolution, awakened to a just sense of his country's wrongs, and gloriously prompted to risk his life, his all in removing or avenging them: The honorable but neglected remains of this once highly revered Member of our Society, now lie on the dreary, inhospitable beach of Lake Erie, within the proud limits of the great and flourishing state of Pennsylvania—a state, of which, with honest pride, we often boast, as the place of our nativity—And yet, shameful to relate, this Patriot and Warrior, hath not a "Hazzett" inscribed on a small stone, nor even a little monument of any kind, erected to his glorious memory: although, if I am correctly informed, applications for this purpose, have again and again, been made to the governing powers.—What! no monument no monument whatever reared by a protected Country? By a Country protected against a "set of fierce Savages refusing forth against us from their dark lurking places: brandishing their murderous knives; springing neither the hoary Sire, nor the hopeful Son; neither the tender Virgin nor the helpless Babe"—And yet this savage and ruthless foe, be vanquished, after a signal & brilliant conflict—and soon after fell a victim to the fatigues he had endured in the service of his Country. Certainly then, my brethren of the Cincinnati, it behoves us "to drop a tear over his scattered ashes—and if perchance, our footsteps should touch that hapless shore that drank his blood—gently, Oh! gently let us tread among his uncoffined Bones!"
Mr. President, Having thus briefly stated to the Society the situation of the ashes of our illustrious brother, I beg leave to move that a sufficient sum (if the rules of our Society will admit of it) be immediately appropriated out of our own funds, being the fruits of our own toil and blood—not depending upon any government for any aid in similar cases; in order to erect a plain, unornamented monument (as his own name thereon will be its richest ornament) to the memory of Major Gen. Anthony Wayne, commander in chief, at the time of his decease, of the armies of the United States, with a view of perpetuating his memory and our affection individually, as well as a society—for his patriotism, bravery, and distinguished services rendered to his country.
The members, under the influence of the most respectful and affectionate remembrance of their gallant associate in arms, passed the following resolution, to do justice to his worth, by erecting a monument to his memory.
Resolved, that the sum of 500 dollars be appropriated to erect a monument to the memory of General ANTHONY WAYNE, formerly a member of this Society, and that the same be applied under the direction of Col. Johnston, Maj. Jackson and Mr. Binney.
NEW YORK, July 11.
(Translated for the New-York Gazette.)
Address of the Central Junta to the Spaniards inhabiting that part of Spain under the control of France.
SPANIARDS! Ye who groan in the provinces occupied by our Tyrants, know, that Napoleon, wanting forces to oppress Austria, demands one hundred thousand of you to reinforce his armies! Thus what security is given you, in his invitations to return and enjoy the repose of your homes? His promises not to molest you then, are but to weary illusive attractions, by which he meditates the occasion to drag you thence to those remote climes! And to what end? To fight against those who have risen to defend our cause, and to maintain our independence—against our brothers!!! Who among you will confess to be led on to the accomplishment of so vile an undertaking? Who of you will go to share in Germany, the detestable that accompanies the armed satellites paid to carry devastation through Spain? Did you think to find repose? Lo! there is no repose! Nor house, nor fire-side, nor family, nor the endeartments of domestic enjoyments, nor the society of friends, nor the useful and innocent labours of your fields, shall ever more be yours, unless you wrest the independence of your country from the perfidious grasp of your oppressors. Fly then to her standards; then you will find liberty, security and honour. They wave for you to join them! If any of you, seduced by the hopes of tranquility and repose, not now to be found, have illadvisedly withdrawn from her banners, your country forgives you this imprudent flight, the offspring of momentary weakness! Return! No alternative now remains between war and peace—Choose whether it is not more glorious to become the virtuous defenders of your country, in need of your aid; than to rank among the French—Partisans towards men, sacrilegious towards your religion, impious towards GOD, and to live and die loaded with the curses of HEAVEN and Earth.

Patent Hemp & Flax-breaking Machine.
THE subscribers have purchased the right for the state of Kentucky of Thomas Cobban'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.
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 v. 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 that much delay, severe labour, and considerable expense may be saved to hemp raisers by the erection of these machines.
