LEXINGTON, Printed by JOHN BRADFORD, at his Office on Main Street; where Subscriptions, (at Fifteen Shillings per Annum) Advertisements &c. are thankfully received, and Printing in its different branches done with care and expedition.
To Harry Innes.
WHAT Sir, have you really been possessed of the true name of Coriolanus, ever since the 27th of September; and have you been till now devising the punishment you ought to inflict on him for his explanation of the enigma? Or did you only get the name in a letter of the 23d of November; and has the discovery frighted you out of two months of your existence? If the first should be the case, I must sincerely pity your embarrassment. If the latter, it fully explains the motive upon which you adopted your plan of punishing the author for his writings signed Coriolanus. And give me leave to tell you, that your apology for not taking the proper measures for that purpose, altho' it may go down with those who join you in attempts to decry him will not be received by one candid reader. If your reflecting faculty, was equal to your instinctive prudence, we should not have seen you exacting the fate of the Kentucky Distiller to the pen of an anonymous writer; or having made one childish step, you would from that circumstance have collected experience sufficient to have guarded you against a second. But unfortunately for you, this is not your case; and while the extreme imbecility of the first subject you to repeated difficulties; the acute feeling of the other prevents your making one manly effort to surmount them. The consequence is, that between the two, we find you frequently exposed as a butt for ridicule.
Without having removed the effect of Coriolanus's observations, by shewing that they were not just; and as if that puritanic air of yours was genuine piety; after making use of the epithets infamis and abjectus , which a mere parrot might have prated; you are seen to wrap yourself in the Simsey guise of your integrity, and fondly content yourself with the ideal dignity of your own character. It is true Sir, you have a dignified office, but so long as we can distinguish between public authority, and the vehicle which contains it, we shall in you be presented with a most striking contrast. It must be allowed, you were fortunate in giving us an instance of your attachment to your title. I doubt not you will be thought equally so, in the example you have given the public of your dignity of character: your late publication is admitted—a true specimen of the latter, as J. K. D. was of the former. And those who may probably be suiters in your court, recollecting the punishment you have inflicted on the instant Coriolanus, will undoubtedly draw the most happy presages from the lenity of your temper. But after doing all you can, or dare—we find you resting your last hope on the candor and good sense of the
reader. And have you indeed persuaded yourself to trust, that on reflection the calumnies of Coriolanus will retort infamy on the writer? Poor calymin how you abuse the little understanding you have.
The men of candor and good sense are the last people in the world to whom you should refer your cause. And believe me the observations of Coriolanus will stick to you because they are known truths. While calumny, if it is true, be reflected back on its author. You speak of chagrin and disappointment, that you feel both I have no doubt, as I believe it is now pretty certain the enigma has not terminated in the manner you expected. That I should be disappointed, who never had an expectation in the power of my enemies, is what no man of sense or candor will believe. And as far as I have heard the first Coriolanus was read with universal approbation (except as excelsior) because it contained truths which were universally admitted.
But Sir, Innes you have no doubt secured your object—you have told the public that the second Coriolanus was the effect of deep rooted malice and envy of about five years standing. What, you recollect then, when like a gossiping old woman you went about endeavouring to make the people believe that I had injured you in a private letter written to yourself? You remember no doubt, when to gratify your own resentment, you stimulated another to make a private attack on me? Nor can I have escaped your memory that at other times you have done what you could to injure; and no wonder that you should conclude from thence, that I must necessarily hate you. But Sir, even in this you are mistaken. Yet when I say that I have borne no hatred to you, I must add it was because I so much despised the meanness and impotence of your conduct. And when I say that I have not envied you, candor obliges me to declare that I have always entertained too despicable an opinion of your abilities. Nor are you to infer from this, that had you been a man of talents, I should have envied you. No Sir, I might have emulated you. But to forego these reflections, the public will know that the second Coriolanus was in answer to a demand of your own making. And although I dare say it did not answer your expectations, yet I hope it did you justice; and I have not heard any one say that you did not deserve the whole. It has indeed been my fortune for five or six years past to be opposed by knaves and fools in turn, who each in their own way have done what they could to injure; at present I shall suppose myself reduced to a contest with HARRY INNES, and to give him his due, must own that he has so united and tempered
the two characters in himself, as to be all of the one which he wants of the other. At first it was Harry Innes J. K. D. and Coriolanus, with a hint that the real author might at any time be known by proper application. Instead of making that application you again complain that you are injured, at first you solicit, then menace the printer, the name is sent you—and oh tremendous punishment—you have published HARRY MARSHALL as the author of Coriolanus. A thing which was publicly known for several months before. With this you sit down contented; as contemptible in your position as in your two publications. You must own, at least it will be said, that you might as well have contented yourself with the enigma unexplained. It will be observed, that now, it is HARRY INNES against,
H. MARSHALL.

MR. BRADFORD.
SOME queries were proposed in your paper of November the 24th by a citizen, respecting a magistrate and legislator of Bourbon county, that querist charged this magistrate and legislator, with propagating known falsehoods, while acting in those characters: he could have gone farther and asked, Was not this same magistrate and legislator, publicly put on in the town of Paris for lying, and did he not promise to leave it off lest he should meet with the same disgraceful punishment?
This he not been guilty of robbing on the highway, and did not his flight from justice save him from the gallows. Other queries were proposed in your paper of December 1st. In answer to those I assure that querist that James Smith of Bourbon county is the magistrate and Legislator alluded to, and that my name is
JOHN WALLER.
P.S. Lest the Custom should doubt what I assert please to publish the inclosed deposition of John Sanderson Sen. And I do assure him, that at any time he calls on me, I will make any thing I have asserted appear. J. W.

This deponent deposeth and saith that on Saturday the 17th of Nov. he was in Lexington, where he saw Col. James Smith of Bourbon Coun-
ty, that this deponent enquired of him the said Smith where Mr. Waller was. The said Smith told this deponent he was some where about, or might be gone home. This deponent asked the said Smith where Mr. Waller had not a seat, or else a room, in the house. The said Smith answered and said, the said Waller had liberty to go about the house as he, the deponent, or any other man, but would not get here to sit, and that matter be seen him the said Waller and Mr. N. and was clear of it. And further this deponent saith not.

Abstract of the latest and most im- portant FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
The Duke of Brunswick, after taking several fortified places, had marched with his army towards Paris, and was within Seventy miles of that capital—In consequence of his successes on the frontiers, Longwi, and several other places having fallen into his hands, the National Assembly passed a decree expressing in strong terms the danger of the country, and calling on the citizens to arm and run out to reinforce the army—Sixty thousand men were to be raised immediately—this decree provided for a general alarm—the Tocsin was rung, and the general beat in all the sections. The citizens immediately repaired to the Camp de Mars to select their volunteers, and make their arrangements to comply with the decree for reinforcing the army.
It being suggested by one of the people, that previous to going to the frontiers to fight the enemy without it was proper to take care of the enemy within—the idea was immediately communicated from man to man, and the whole body divided themselves into parties, and spread themselves all over the city—they broke open the prisons and put all the prisoners to death; among whom are upwards of one hundred of the nonjuring clergy, including one bishop, Col. Montmorin, &c. the confusion continued to the date of the last Paris account, which was September 3d.—The garrison of Longwi consisted of 1800 men, who were all made prisoners of war—part of the Austrian army were besieging Verdun—an account was published in an English paper of the 10th September which was seen at Scarborough, stating that the citizens of Verdun had demanded of the commanding officer, that the city should be surrendered to the Austrians, that he had been obliged to comply with this demand, and that he had in consequence shot himself.
Verdun, now in the possession of the combined armies, is 150 miles east from Paris—its citadel is said to have been very strong.
Great apprehensions are entertained in Paris of hostilities being about to be commenced by the Spaniards. Thirty-nine sail of ships were lying in Barcelona,—these, it was expected, were to be joined by seventeen sail of Portuguese—Marseilles, Collioures or Antibes, was supposed to be their object.
From the latest returns of the French armies to the minister of war, it appears that there are at least two millions of men in arms.
The encampment of the combined armies against France, near Thionville the 17th August, extended nearly seventeen miles.
FRANCE.
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.
SUNDAY, August 19.
LA FAYETTE ACCUSED.
Some soldiers of the army of M. la Fayette being admitted to the bar, informed the Assembly that they were obliged to make their escape through a wood to avoid being seduced by their chiefs, and that they had come to Paris to learn the truth respecting the events of the 10th. They said that M. Veneur had written to the battalions, in the name of M. la Fayette, to the following purport.
“Soldiers! your constitution has been annihilated! Seditious men have filled the measures of their crimes.—They have
caused the Swiss soldiers, and the commandant of the National Guards, to be assassinated.—With swords in their hands they compelled the Legislative body to decree the suspension of the King. Soldiers choose between the King and Petion.”
They added that M. la Fayette wished to make them sign a paper written in the same strain, and requested that the Assembly would prevent the perfidious design of this General.
M. Merlin presented fifty different pieces to support their accusation.
Two private letters, and in particular one from the Commissioners sent to the army, being adduced to corroborate these charges, the Assembly immediately passed the following decree of accusation against M. de la Fayette.
1. It appears to this Assembly that there is just ground for accusation against M. de la Fayette, heretofore Commander of the army of the North.
2. The executive power shall in the most expeditious manner possible, put the present decree into execution; and all constitutional authorities, all citizens, and all soldiers, are hereby enjoined, by every means in their power, to secure his person.
3. The Assembly forbids the army of the North any longer to acknowledge him as General, or to obey his orders; and strictly enjoins that no person whatsoever shall furnish any thing for the troops, or pay any money for their use, but by the orders of M. Damourier.
PARIS, August 14.
Nothing transpires concerning the conduct of the King and Queen in their new habitation, the temple, and indeed there is very little enquiry concerning them. They are lodged in an upper suit of apartments, the height of which as a security against escape, doubtless make considerable part of national policy.
The commissioners sent to the armies found the country unanimously and warmly in favour of the National Assembly, during as much of their journey as they have given an account of, but their relation does not extend to their arrival in the camps. In this city, the military spirit begins to increase, and five hundred men have just been in a body to the National Assembly, requesting that they may form the first battalion in the camp of Paris. The levies to be made by the departments also proceed very rapidly.
Disposition of the Armies.
For the three last days, the most alarming apprehensions have been entertained concerning the armies. To such a degree are mens imaginations heated, that yesterday all Paris were in the persuasion for several hours, that La Fayette was within a few leagues of the capital.
August 20.
Yesterday, in consequence of suspicions and discoveries, all the queens attendants were removed from the temple to the commons-house, from which, after undergoing an examination they were conducted to the Hotel de Force.
To prevent any sudden surprise, in or near the capital, a camp, which is to consist of 40 000 men, is about to be formed under the walls of Paris. Equipage for the camp, and all necessaries are providing, and 500,000 livers are ordered to be paid from the national treasury to the executive power to defray the expence.
Forty Savoyards have deserted from the king of Sardinia, and presented themselves with their arms and baggage, to one of the French generals.
A Prussian officer has left the army of the princes, and offered his services to the national assembly.
August 23.
“You will find by a letter from M. Servan, that in the night between the 19 and 20th, M. La Fayette went over to the enemy. The manner is differently related. It is said that he was made prisoner while reconnoitring—by others, that he is gone to Holland, in order to pass over to England; but with more probability of truth, that under the pretence of opening the gates of Sedan to the Commissioners of the National Assembly, he and seventeen of his Etat Majors, among whom were M. Alexander Lameth, M. Beruhard and M. Gouvion, the brother of the General that fell so gloriously, took the opportunity of throwing themselves into the hands of one of the advanced posts of the enemy, and by which they were made prisoners of war. There certainly was no other way by which he could save his life against the decree of the Assembly; which instigated every one to hunt him down.
“We have this day accounts that the Commissioners have suspended M. Luckner. This feeble old man, whose Germanic thirst of money would make him yield to every possible condition, however forsook, the Commissioners, upon enquiry, did not chuse to entrust with the fate of France.”
LONDON, Aug. 16.
Whitehall, Wednesday, August 15.
“Mr. Aust presents his compliments to Mr. Taylor master of Lloyd’s coffee-house, and acquaints him, agreeably to his request, that a messenger arrived this morning from Paris, with the news of a commotion on Friday, in which the mob killed the greatest part of the Swiss guards, who defended the Thuilleries, as also several persons of distinction, among whom was M. Clermont Tonnerre, and destroyed the furniture of the palace, and all the out-buildings adjoining. At the beginning of the tumult, the king the queen and the royal family escaped across the garden to the national assembly, in a room adjoining to which they continued on Sunday, when the messenger set out. On Friday the assembly decreed, that the executive power was withdrawn from the king, and that, for the present, government should be entrusted to ministers of their nomination. That the king should be lodged in some place of safety, and the civil list no longer continued. That the primary assemblies should
be convened on the 26th inst. In order to appoint a national convention to meet at Paris on the 20th of September, to decide ultimately upon the forfeiture of the crown and the mode of establishing an executive power.”
A committee of the National Assembly has been appointed to report a decree for confiscating the property of M. de la Fayette, both in France and in the West Indies.
20th We are informed by a letter from Amsterdam of the third of August last, that an additional duty has taken place of one half per cent ad valorem on all goods exported from the United Netherlands to the United States of America—and one per cent on all goods imported into said Netherlands from the United States.
Extract of a letter by the Dutch mail August 25.
“The general M. de la Fayette, and 12 officers of rank, who were making the best of their way to Holland, were stopped near Liege, and taken prisoners by the Liegeois legion; the general claimed the right of nations, being on neutral ground, but he was given to understand that he must submit to the right of arms, and he was made prisoner with all his followers.”
PROVIDENCE, October 4.
On Saturday last arrived here captain Bernon Dunn, in the brigantine Mary, in five weeks from Cadiz.
Captain Dunn was informed, while at Gibraltar, by a Mr. White who left Algiers in May last, that he saw capt. Obrian who had been taken into the English ambassador’s family, and was better off than many of his countrymen there; who in general were chained together two and two, and obliged to labor very hard. It could be wished some mode might be adopted to relieve our unfortunate countrymen from this grievous captivity.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 22.
Extract of a letter from Havre, to a gentleman in Boston, dated August 29d, 1792.
“The Marquis la Fayette, with about 300 of his principal officers, have made their escape by the following stratagem. As soon as the Marquis heard the king was dethroned, and that commissaries were on their way to the army, he sent some of his officers to Sedan to detain them. He then proposed to the army that Paris was in a distressed situation, and wished to know if they would march to its relief: which they refused—He then sent to the officers at Sedan, to send on persons to perform the commissaries, with a story fabricated for the purpose to the army, and while these pretended commissaries were negotiating matters with the army, the marquis and his friends made their escape.”
RICHMOND, Oct. 26.
By an express from Knoxville, (territory south of the Ohio) we have received the following important intelligence.
It is an undoubted truth, (strange as it may appear) that the baron D’Corondolet, governor of Louisiana, and governor O’Neal of Pensacola, have opened the stores of the king of Spain, in West Florida, to the Creeks and Cherokees, and delivered them arms and ammunition in abundance, advising and stimulating them to go to war against the frontier inhabitants of the United States, and that quickly, that now or never was the time while the United States were engaged with the northern tribes.

LEXINGTON, December 8. On the 15th ult. Mr. Bell passed through this town on his way to head quarters, with 172 horses for the army, and which he purchased in this place; there was a great number of spectators in town, amongst whom were a number of the members of the assembly, who all agreed they were a collection of well chosen horses for the purposes intended, being the greater part nearly the same colour, and the whole in the highest perfection.
