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.
Mr. Bradford.
IN aged life, retired to the peaceable enjoyments of my family and farm; struggling under a heavy debt, occasioned by unforeseen misfortunes, which by frugal care and industry, I have been enabled to lessen every year. Thus employed in domestic life, unambitious or aspiring to wealth or honours, and contented in the quiet enjoyment of my farm and family, I hoped to have spent the residue of my life by providence allotted me unenvied or disturbed. But the voice of calumny calls aloud to vindicate the malignant aspersions thrown on my character in a hand bill lately published, with the signature of Daniel M'Cleland affixed thereto. Wherein I am charged, with wantonly, and maliciously aspersing his character, in a petition to the assembly of Kentucky. Therein informing the public the charges set forth in the said petition are false. Sir, I take the liberty, through the channel of your press, to inform the said M'Cleland and the public, that the words mentioned in the said petition, relative to his character are matter of fact. I cannot reconcile it to myself to be judged by men of that stamp, therefore am determined to pursue him to the bar of a court of judicature, and then and there shall be able to prove the words which are set forth in the petition, which are as followeth viz "Your petitioners conceive themselves highly dishonoured by the appointment of Daniel M'Cleland to the honour of a justice of the peace in our said country, who stands charged as a felonious hog thief, and who confessed publicly, the fact of marking in his own mark, and claiming for his own another man's hogs". This is what the said Daniel M'Cleland has repeatedly confessed and have dared to defy in the hand bill, in these words, "I take this method to inform the public, that the charges set forth against me in said petition are false". I do affirm them to be truth, and desire the said M'Cleland to call on me in substituting a suit in some court of judicature against me that I may there prove what I now assert to be fact, which he confesses and denies as best suits his purposes.
I come now to speak on the accusations alleged to my charge by the said M'Cleland in the hand bill, which he says was occasioned by prejudice from his objecting to my being recommended to the governor as a fit person for a magistrate, on account of my having sold three hundred acres of land on Mulberry creek, a branch of Brashear's creek, to Mr. Holmes of Virginia, and given my bond to him for a conveyance, and receiving from him in consideration, the sum of two hundred and twenty five pounds, Virginia currency, and afterward selling the same to Samuel Pryor, and prevailing on George Holeman, from whom the title to the said land was to come to me; to convey the said tract of land to the said Samuel Pryor, in order to defraud the said Holmes.
This is a matter I am happy in submitting to the candid public. This together with sundry other serious reports, has been industriously circulated in an underground manner, by a certain William Shannon, Bracket Owen and others of the same stamp. I shall now proceed to lay the subject matter before the public; by informing, that on the 26th day of February 1789, I contracted with Jonathan Boone, junr. son to esquire Boone, for his right to 300 acres of land on Mulberry creek, which land he purchased of Jonathan Boone, senr. who purchased of Squire Boone, who purchased of George Holeman. A bond being passed by George Holeman to convey to Squire Boone, the said 300 acres of land aforesaid, on the payment of a certain sum of money agreed upon, as the consideration money, to be paid by the said Squire Boone, to George Holeman, which bond the said Jonathan Boone junr. contracted to assign to me, without recourse either to himself, Jonathan Boone senr. or Squire Boone, which assignment when made should exonerate the said Jonathan Boone junr. Jonathan Boone senr. and Squire Boone.—On the 17th day of April 1789, I contracted with a certain James Holmes of Virginia for the aforesaid tract of land, a copy of the condition is as followeth, viz.
"The condition of the above obligation is such, that whereas the above bound Nicholas Meriwether have bargained and sold to the above named James Holmes one certain tract, or parcel of land containing 300 acres situate on the waters of Clear creek in the county of Jefferson, and being part of George Holeman's settlement and preemption right. And being that part of the said claim, which was the property of Jonathan Boone, and to be laid off agreeable to the bounds he claims, which land I the said Nicholas Meriwether do oblige myself, my heirs &c. to convey or cause to be conveyed unto the said James Holmes his heirs &c. in fee simple, and do further convey and agree to warrant and defend the title to the said three hundred acres of land to him the said James Holmes and his heirs, upon conditions, that he the said James Holmes shall at all times hereafter, if lawfully possessed or kept out of the said three hundred acres of land by any ways whatsoever, that I the above bound Nicholas Meriwether shall pay or cause to be paid unto the said James Holmes his heirs or assigns, the equal full value of the said three hundred acres of land, with all the improvements thereon, which he the said James Holmes shall make or cause to be made in other lands the equal value of each.—That is to say, the three hundred acres with the improvements aforesaid, and the lands to be given to the amount thereof to be valued, in case the said Nicholas should not be able to support the title to the
said three hundred acres of land aforesaid. In witness &c."
Sometime after this agreement was entered into, Jonathan Boone produced to me the bond given by George Holeman to Squire Boone, for the conveyance of the aforesaid land, which he had not before given up to me.—It being in the hands of Jonathan Boone senr. and made me an assignment without recourse to himself or Jonathan Boone senr. or Squire Boone, which was agreeable to my contract with him.—I then presented the bond to Holeman, and demanded a title.—He refused to convey the title, informing me that he had not been paid the amount of the purchase money, by Squire Boone, or any other person, and that he was not bound to convey until he was paid.—As the contract then stood I was not bound for the balance due Holeman from Boone.—Neither was Boone bound to me to make payment to Holeman on his Bond assigned to me.—Therefore by the condition of my contract, Holmes could not oblige me to convey to him what I in no wise could force from Holeman.—In this situation I waited a long time after Holmes had appointed to return to this country, to conclude on some mode of adjusting the matter. But he did not arrive long after. Holeman's bond thus depreciated in my hands, as I could not force a conveyance from Holeman on it, I then sold the bond to Samuel Pryor, who agreed with Holeman to take up his bond, and pay up the balance of the purchase money originally contracted for by Boone to Holeman, and Holeman then agreed to, and actually did convey to Pryor.
On Holmes arrival in this country, I informed him truly of the circumstances, and tendered him other lands at their value agreeable to the condition of my contract with him, and am at all times when required thereto, ready, able and willing to comply with my contract, and request that he or his attorney in fact will call on me immediately for a conveyance, otherwise I shall proceed to have the valuations made and convey the amount thereof in other lands to him and his heirs in compliance of the condition of my contract with the said James Holmes.
Having repeated the true circumstances & occurrences of the charge exhibited against me by the said Daniel M'Cleland, and likewise the condition of my contract with Holmes, I submit them to the impartial public. If I have made any misrepresentation, I call on my most inveterate enemies to come forward and make them appear.
NICHOLAS MERIWETHER. Castle Hill, Nov. 20, 1792.
LEYDEN, July 26.
THE mission of Mr. Jenkinson, son to lord Hawksbury, to Coblenz, has occasioned much speculation here. It may be recollected, that about the time the Jacobine party in France became masters of the executive, as well as of the national assembly, and their influence caused a declaration of war against Austria, lord Elgin was sent to Brussels with proposals of accommodation between the two powers: It is since known, that his mission was to have been extended to Vienna, but by this rupture it was prevented. There is no doubt but England, who declares herself perfectly neutral, has all along meant to interfere as mediatrix at the moment when France should be attacked by the combined forces. That moment, we suppose, she now thinks near at hand, and has therefore dispatched Mr. Jenkinson to offer his conciliatory propositions to the French princes at Coblenz or more probably at Mayence, considering that it is to be the place of interview with the new emperor and the king of Prussia.
VIENNA, July 24.
Since the commencement of the present month, the elector of Saxony has entered into the alliance of Austria and Prussia; the articles of the treaty will be immediately made public. The Chevalier Laudiana, sent by the late emperor to Dresden, has had the honor of bringing to maturity the accession of the court of Saxony to the alliance, and to sign the treaty on the part of the courts of Vienna & Berlin.
We have accounts from the Levant, that the famous Lambro Cazzioni, who has committed such depredations in those seas, has suddenly been stopped in his career; his fleet has been totally beat and dispersed by a Turkish squadron, (to which two French frigates were joined) near the haven of Quagira. It is said that the crews of his vessels endeavoured to escape by landing, but that the Mainotes had killed almost every man of them. Cazzioni is thought to have fled towards Tunis in a small vessel, with 16 of his followers.

A quantity of artillery is lately drawn from our arsenals 14 eighteen pounders, ten, twenty-four pounders, 12 chusiers and 6 mortars, which are all sent to the banks of the Rhine. Forty-eight carriages loaded with balls, powder and other ammunition, followed yesterday. Orders have also been despatched to all the recruiting officers throughout the empire, to send immediately all the recruits which they have raised, to the army on the Rhine and the Netherlands, excepting French deserters, who are to be dispersed among the regiments stationed in the interior of the empire. It is also said, that in a short time two new companies of Prague engineers will march towards the Rhine, and two companies of miners to the Brisgau, and that carriages will be provided, to accelerate their journey.
ARANJUEZ, July 3.
We have nothing new here of a political nature. The public attention has been engaged in the sending up a balloon the day before yesterday, under the conduct and direction of M. Bara, who was embarked therein. When the balloon was beginning to ascend, and had attained a small height, the philosopher was seized with a giddiness in the head, fell to the ground, and broke one thigh and two ribs. Our new minister, count d'Aranda, seems to have but little influence in the interior politics, and do not assist in the administration of the kingdom. It is owing to him, however, that civil liberty is upon a better footing than under his predecessor. Persecutions against the French residents are at an end; a strict impartiality of conduct towards all strangers is adopted, and there is a certainty, that Spain will not join the league of armed powers. M. d'Aranda may pursue his system of moderation with less interruption as the management of foreign affairs is entrusted wholly to his care, and he is at liberty to act towards France to the best of his judgment, for the mutual good of the two nations. In conformity to this plan, the French are now admitted to a share in the slave trade to Cuba, Porto Rico, and Aracons. It is probable, however, that the want of negroes, more than regard to the French, has occasioned the opening of this trade.
MARSEILLES, July 25.
A conspiracy against the Constitution, formed by those who had sworn to defend it, has just been discovered.
A rich shop keeper of this city, of the name of Bouillet, who was a captain in the National Guard, gained over by the counter-revolutionists, had entered into a plot for seizing all the posts round the city, and butchering the municipality and the members of our clubs.
This infernal plan was to have been executed when Bouillet and his company should be on duty. But the whole was discovered by a servant belonging to Bouillet, who having at first entered the conspiracy, repented afterwards what he had done. When sent by his master to repair to some of the leaders of the party, and desire that they would advance immediately with their party
to the town-house, he went to the Magistrates, and revealed all that he knew.
Immediately the patriots, advised of danger, flew to arms. Several of the conspirators were apprehended; the traitor Bouillet became a victim to the fury of the people; he was hanged the next morning at ten o'clock; it is expected that many others will share his fate.
L O N D O N, Aug. 10.
It was yesterday circulated, with an air of authority, that the duke of Brunswick marched on the 4th instant. It was also reported, on what ground we know not, that it was not yet determined whether or not he would march at all. Were there any thing like union and co-operation between the king and the national assembly, general Dillon's account of the Austrian troops on the Flanders frontier, would render the latter report highly probable.
The recent misunderstanding between Russia and the Porte has not arisen from the intrigues either of the French or the Poles, but from a difference respecting the appointment of an archbishop of Jassy. The Hospodar refused to ratify the choice of the Russians, after the departure of their army; a courier has been despatched to Constantinople, to take the sense of the Divan on the subject; and in the mean time all the metropolitans, throughout the province of Moldavia, are suspended.
Spain appears firm in her neutrality with respect to French affairs. As a proof of this, part of the line of troops ordered towards the Pyrenees is withdrawn. One obvious reason for this moderation is the derangement of the finances, no minister having yet been found capable of bringing in the receipt and expenditure to a level, and the usual temporary expedients for supplying the necessities or the extravagancies of government having been attempted without success.
Whatever may be the success of the combination against France, it is not to be imagined, at least not on any principle of sound policy, that an attempt will be made to revive the old system of government which under Louis XIV. threatened the liberties of all Europe. The Protestant powers play a principal part in the drama; and it is not to be supposed that they will to restore a system which would naturally result and punish the share which the Protestants certainly had in effecting the revolution. The subjects of all the combined powers have a great stake in the French funds, and consequently it is much against their interest to do any thing that may lead to a bankruptcy.
A deficit of two millions of livers has been discovered in the accounts of the finances of the French emigrant princes—Calonne is in disgrace, and M. Mallet du Pan fills his place.
LANSINGBURGH, Sept. 21.
A gentleman from Lake Erie, who is now in town, gives us the following information, that so general a combination of savages never was known as at present—about six hundred Indians from lower Canada joined in the general confederacy at the Miami towns. The Hurons, Wyandots, Chippeways, Attoways, Portoways and some few of the Oneidas, Onondagos, Cayugas, Tuscaroras and Senecas, together with the whole tribe of the Delawares, are there assembled, with the Shawanese, who together constitute a body of between 4 and 5000; about four times the number which defeated general St. Clair
the 4th of November last. Blue-Jacket, Gohoway, and Snake, are their commanders, and are waiting for the Americans to pay them another visit: they are much cared by the British at Detroit, and have drawn some provisions at that garrison.
On Sunday night last, the printing office of Mr. Haswell, of Rutland, Vermont, with all the materials, stock, &c. were consumed by fire. The loss must be sensibly felt by the public as well as by Mr. Haswell.
Extract of a letter from a respectable gentleman in Richmond, (Vir.) dated July 7.
"Good news for M ***, our court has rejected the allowing the recovery of old British debts, until the treaty is fulfilled, by restoring the western posts. We say here, fulfil the treaty on the part, and we will readily do so on ours."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at St. Vincents to his friend in Philadelphia, dated August 15.
"I am perfectly sick of my situation in the army; and from what I can foresee, some day, and that not very distant, a separation will take place between England and this country. The islands have universally taken strong resolutions against government, similar to those of America."
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 28.
Operation trachea wistm to max. It must give pleasure to every friend of republicanism and freedom to observe the proceedings of the representatives of the people in Ireland. From what they and their constituents actually feel, they take part in the principles that have emancipated France, against the tyranny and partial restrictions of a nation that has long (Jesuitically) declared itself the freest in Europe. From the example of England it is evident, that a nation may be brought to suppose itself perfectly free, without enjoying an atom of rational or equal liberty.
Late accounts from Europe inform that immense warlike preparations were carrying on at Constantinople, by the Turks, for the purpose of invading Hungary. The pretext is, to reimburse themselves for the great expense they were put to in their last war with Russia, by the late Emperor joining that power against them. One hundred thousand Turks, it was confidently said by the French at Constantinople, were to march into Hungary—which could not otherwise than in a great measure, if not totally, prevent the designs of the king of Hungary against the new government of France.
LEXINGTON, December 1.
A gentleman of this state, who has just returned from Fort Washington, informs that on the 24th of November, two companies of the New-England troops, came into that place from one of the out posts, he believes Fort St. Clair. He observes that these troops cut a shocking figure, and look more like a band of beggars than Federal soldiers posted for the defence of our frontiers.—God help us if we had no other defence, than such a set of poor neglected taterdemalions.—Palfrey's company were princely clad when compared to these wretched broken spirited creatures.—For they were not only bare of shirts, and bare headed, but were without a single pair of shoes, and a majority of them were obliged to conceal their posteriors with ragged blankets.—This gentleman asserts that this report is not exaggerated and appeals to many Kentuckians who were spectators with himself. He has left his name to support it.—
The following interrogatories naturally follow, viz.
1st. Did the public engage clothing to these men when they enlisted. 2d. If this was the case, has the money been advanced to purchase it. 3d. If the money has been advanced, who received it—when was it received—and how hath it been appropriated. 4th. If it has been fairly appropriated; why has not the clothing been sent on sooner.
As the national legislature is now in session, it may not be improper for that august body to put these questions—for it is strongly suspected by some, that either thro' ignorance or indolence or rogery or all, the national confidence is abused, and misused and the rights of their soldiery violated. It might not be improper at the same time for them to enquire why an army is kept drinking, gaming, tooling and frolicking at Pittsburgh, whilst a handful of men are constantly obliged to pass through Fort Washington to Fort J. B. M. to be flogged, beaten and distressed whenever Girty or M'Kee gives the word.
These enquiries are necessary to justify the very great confidence which the nation and particularly the western people have in a bright Secretary at war and a brilliant commander in chief.
Extract from general Wilkinson's orders, dated Fort Washington, November 27th 1792.
Major Adair and the corps under his command being discharged, the sub-legacy general cannot take leave of that meritorious body of citizen soldiers, without testifying his warm approbation of their good conduct; and he fondly hopes from his perfect confidence in the good conduct and great valor of the major and his officers, and his reliance on the soldierly firmness of his men, to see this corps again in the field, whenever occasion may offer, to chastise the enemies of their country, and revenge the misfortunes of the 6th inst. which would not have happened but from the great superiority of numbers on the part of the enemy.
F. H. CUSHING, Cap. and Brig. major.
Mr. BRADFORD, If you will please to give the following queries a place in your paper, you will oblige a CUSTOMER.
First. Can a magistrate of Bourbon county, though clear of mal-practice, be said to be honorably acquitted, when other grievous crimes has been proven against him, which did not come under the cognizance of the legislature?
Second. Will the querist who appeared in your paper of Saturday last, ever assert what he queries?
Third. If so, dare he ever declare who this magistrate and Assembly-man is, and then sign the declaration?

John Archer. September 12, 1792. P2.

EDINBURGH, August 11. SIR RICHARD ARKWRIGHT Died at his seat at Cromford in Derbyshire, on Friday se'nnight. This gentleman was justly celebrated for having introduced the Jennies, in the cotton manufactory.
A statue of Sir Richard is to be erected in the centre of a spacious square in Manchester. This will be a cordial tribute to the worth of a man, who, from the humble situation of a barber, has not only accumulated vast wealth to himself, but been the means of enriching the surrounding country. Talents and genius of such magnitude deserve the most distinguished exaltation.
It is said, that the profits of his works, for several years past, amounted to forty thousand pounds a year.
PARIS, August 14. The statue of Lewis the XIV. is at length taken down, and now lies in the court of the Commons-house. It weighs 2,725 lbs. It was erected on the 14th of July 1689, exactly one hundred years before that revolution took place, which paved the way for its being taken down.
Mercer, September 27, 1792. Mr. Bradford,
I have been absent for some time from home and did not receive your last letter of the 23 d instant inclosing the name of Coriolanus , until late the last evening. It was a man of character, I would adopt proper measures to punish him for his insolence for the publication in your Gazette of the 22 d of September addressed to me. But as Coriolanus is that infamous and abandoned man Humphrey Marshall , of Woodford county, I shall take no further notice of him, than to publish his name to your candid readers trusting to their good sense, that his calumnies will retort infamy upon the writer when they reflect that his first publication under the signature of Coriolanus carries with it evident marks of chagrin and disappointment, and when they are assured that his second is the effect of deep rooted malice and envy of about five years existence. To take any further notice of this man would degrade that character which I flatter myself I have hitherto supported among my fellow citizens.
