PROPOSALS, For publishing by subscription,
AN ABRIDGEMENT OF THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES,
OR, A complete Digest of all such Acts of Congress, as concern the United States at large.
By Wm. Graydon, Esq.
CONDITIONS.
I. This work shall commence with the laws passed at the first session of Congress, held after the adoption of the Federal Constitution, and end with those that may be enacted at the present session.
II. The whole will be comprised in one large octavo volume, of at least six hundred pages, and perhaps considerably more: it being impossible, till after the present session of Congress, to pronounce with accuracy.
III. It shall be printed on good paper, and type, and well bound, at FOUR DOLLARS. No money will be required till the work is completed, of which notice will be given—N.B. It is at present in considerable forwardness.
IV. The Constitution of the United States shall be prefixed, and an Appendix added, containing all existing Treaties, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the Rules and Articles for the government of the Army, and the Ordinance for the government of the Territory North West of the Ohio.
V. Lists shall be given of the titles of all the laws under the several heads of "Abridged" "Repealed" "Expired or Obsolete," and "Private or Local." Likewise, Tables of the rates of Duties, Post-Roads, and times of holding Courts throughout the United States.
The convenience of One book instead of Six, the difference of the price (being only one third the rate of other editions,) and the superior advantage of having all the laws upon each particular subject, classed together, and brought into one view, must appear striking and important; particularly as this work will be more within the reach of every one, and will comprize whatever his duty or interest requires him to know of the "supreme law of the land."

VALUABLE MEDICINES, AT REDUCED PRICES.
THE public are respectfully informed, that the PATENT MEDICINES hitherto in the hands of Messrs. MACLEAN & POYZER, will in future be sold by Dr. SAMUEL BROWN only, in Lexington, Messrs. M. & F. having relinquished the agency in his favor. A fresh supply of the following are received from LEE & Co. Baltimore.
DR. HAMILTON'S BLIXIR.
A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthmas, fore Throats and approaching Consumption—Price 1 Dollar.
To Parents who have Children afflicted with the HOOPING 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.
HAMILTON'S WORM-DESTROYING LOZENGES.
Which have within four years past, cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons, of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from Worms, and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.

DR. HAMILTON'S GENUINE ESSENCE & EXTRACT OF MUS-TARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for Acute and chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Rheumatic Gout, Palsy, Lumbago, Numbness, White swellings, Chilblains, sprains, bruises, Pain in the face and neck, &c.
This valuable remedy is prepared both in a fluid form and in pills, and thus excellently adapted both for external and internal use.
The pills operate mildly by urine, and by insensible perspiration, expelling the superfluous and morbid humors: they are highly essential to the stomach, create appetite, assist digestion, remove flying pains, and cold or windy complaints in the stomach and bowels.
The essence is a wonderful assistant to the pills in rheumatism, gout, lumbago and palsy, and by its peculiar penetrating and dispersing quality, removes the most violent sprains, bruises, numbness, stiffness of the neck, joints, &c. swelled faces, head aches, indurated breasts, white swellings, frozen limbs, &c. and will infallibly prevent the ill effects of wet or damp in the feet.
Some may be surprised that this medicine should be prescribed with equal success in such a variety of cases, but this surprise will cease when it is recollected that all those complaints result from one same cause—a flowness in the lymph or obstructions in the lymphatic vessels.
Price, 1 Dollar.

cure a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds which are often attended with fatal consequences—a dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance.

Lexington, November 2.
On the evening of Tuesday last an old man and his two sons, were detected in passing counterfeit bank notes in this town—On searching them, upwards of 1700 dollars in five and ten dollar notes of the Bank of the United States, were found in their possession. They passed by the name of Jonson; but we understand they have confessed, since their apprehension, that they are of the name of Kennedy, and live in Hardin county, where the notes were made, by a man named Smith. Immediately on this confession, a messenger was dispatched to the governor with the above information.
We yesterday received a letter from Frankfort, which states, that on Saturday morning "the mail to the Green River country &c." was forcibly taken from the rider, together with his great coat and horn, a few miles beyond Shelbyville. The rider returned to Shelbyville, from whence a party is gone in pursuit of the villain.
The letter further says, "In the mail were directions from the governor for apprehending the accomplices of the men you have in your jail for forgery, and it is supposed it was to obtain the letter containing them, that the robbery was committed."
Died, on Saturday night last, Capt. James Moody, for many years an inhabitant of this town.
The following address to the People of the United States, is signed by "DENNISTON & GREETHAM," editors of the Watch Tower, New-York. Seven letters have previously appeared in that paper, addressed to Mr. Burr, and having the same signature; all tending to criminate his conduct relative to the presidential election &c.
FROM THE REPUBLICAN WATCH TOWER.
Proofs of the negotiation between a federal gentleman, authorised by the leading federalists at Washington, and Mr. Burr, to place himself in the Presidency at the late election.
"The minister, who by secret corruption invades the freedom of election, and the ruffian, who by open violence destroys that freedom, are embarked in the same bottom." JUNIUS.
To the People of the United States.
We are aware of the importance of the subject in which we have for some time been engaged. We have viewed it in all its aspects, and contemplated all its probable consequences. Ever since June, 1801, we have perceived something in Mr. Burr and in his acts, that alarmed us. From the first moment our suspicions were excited, we watched him attentively, until those suspicions ripened into confirmed belief, that he was pursuing projects dishonorable to himself and unsafe to his country. Nor was this belief predicated on light surmises, or vague reports. We knew that Mr. Burr possessed sentiments hostile to the executive; a spirit thirsting for personal aggrandizement, and inflamed by improper desires. And yet, sensible as we were that his conduct was a fit subject for public investigation and disclosure, we could not but foresee that to do either without success, would involve us in pecuniary ruin, and draw upon us public disgrace. Had we consulted personal interest, we should have beheld in silent but sorrowful amazement, the operation of schemes, which, in our opinion, threaten with annihilation the freedom of the country. But unaided and unsupported, we resolved, whatever might be the issue, to unfold those plans and assail those actions which appeared to us alike unjust and dangerous. We did not, however, long stand alone; and we discovered that the more Mr. Burr's conduct was examined, the more odious it appeared.
We have entered fully into an examination of his conduct, and found it uniform only in the pursuit of whatever had a tendency to raise himself to power. As a politician, he has been inconstant. Nor can it be affirmed of him as it may truly be of many virtuous men, that the versatility of his actions flows from sincere convictions of mind, generated by various concurring circumstances at different periods. In all his transitions from one party to the other, his motives have been apparent. At one period he has been a federalist, at another a republican, as best suited his aspiring views, or promised to gratify his inordinate desires. Ambition has guided all his steps; cunning marked his career; and that laxity of principle and unsteadiness of mind, which distinguished the Cæsars, the Cromwells, and the Bonapartes of the old world have been apparent in his walks. In 1789, he left the federalists and joined the republicans for a high office, and was gratified; and in 1792 he made secret overtures to rejoin the federalists for a higher office, but was not gratified, which has been established in a former letter. Is it then surprising, that in 1800, a third attempt was covertly made by Mr. Burr, to attach himself to the federal party, to compass the presidency? In this we perceive a consistency of character; an uniformity of conduct.
In a late pamphlet entitled "A View," &c., Mr. Burr is accused with having negotiated with a federal gentleman to place himself in the executive chair at the late presidential election. After a long silence, he has thought
proper publicly, and in the fullest and unqualified manner, to deny the accusation. The fact is unquestionable; difficult as the proof may be of access. Mr. Burr, however, and the writer of the "view" are now fairly at issue; and as we know the charge to be well founded, we have voluntarily undertaken to prove it. In doing this it will be proper, first to lay the allegation before the reader, and second, Mr. Burr's denial.
First then the accusation, which is contained in the following words:
"Mr. Burr, while in the city of New-York, carried on a negotiation with the heads of the federal party at Washington, with a view to his election as president of the United States. A person was authorised by them to confer with him on the subject, who accordingly did so. Mr. Burr assented to the propositions of the negotiator, and referred him to his confidential friend to complete the negotiation. Mr. Burr stated that after the first vote taken in the house of representatives, New York and Tennessee would give in to the federalists."
View, p. 57—9.
Mr. Burr's denial of this serious charge, is couched in the succeeding terms:
"You are at liberty to declare from me, that all those charges and insinuations, which aver or intimate that I advised or countenanced the opposition made to Mr. Jefferson, pending the late election and balloting for president; that I proposed or agreed to any terms with the federal party, or with any individual of either party; that I assented to be held up in opposition to him, or attempted to withdraw from him the vote or support of any man, whether in or out of Congress; THAT ALL SUCH ASSERTIONS AND INTIMATIONS ARE FALSE AND GROUNDLESS."
Mr. Burr's Letter to Gov.
Bloomfield, Sept. 21, 1802.
If Mr. Burr's denial be true, he is innocent, as far as he is involved in this capital charge, and ought to receive from his country a full and entire acquittal; but if guilty, then ought that guilt to seal his political fate, and banish him forever from the trust and affections of the people.
Few men believe that Mr. Burr is innocent; many, very many indeed, strongly suspect that he is guilty of the charge exhibited, but almost all are of opinion that he has managed the negotiation with so much caution, dexterity and art, as to defy the production of any proof. The latter opinion is drawn from the known subtlety of his character, the general secrecy of his movements, and his scrupulous avoidance to commit to writing any thing which may, by possibility of accident, involve him in serious inconveniences. The known care and cunning, too, of Mr. Burr, it is generally and justly supposed, would be increased in proportion to the iniquity of the transaction, and the consequences which would result from it to himself in case of a disclosure. All these considerations, to which Mr. Burr paid suitable attention, and which he no doubt clearly perceived before he embarked in the negotiation, render, it is true, the production of proof still more difficult. And this difficulty becomes augmented when we consider that the negotiation took place and was completed solely between Mr. Burr and the federalists, and that it is equally the interest of both parties to keep it a profound secret. From the nature of the transaction and the motives and objects of the two contracting parties, proof must be difficult of access, since this proof, it is fair to infer, is exclusively in the possession of Mr. Burr and the federal negotiator. Nor can it be supposed that Mr. Burr would be a self accuser, or that the federalists would be guilty of an act that would inevitably injure their party. They are sensible that a division exists among the republicans; that this division is occasioned by the machinations of Mr. Burr; that it is propitious to themselves, and that to disclose that very testimony which would compose those divisions, or proving Mr. Burr's negotiation, would injure the federal party, inasmuch as it would unite the republicans not only against that party, but also against the man who has in the most alarming manner attempted to betray their confidence. Mr. Burr, therefore, as well as the federalists, feels every inducement that can possibly exist, to keep back the proof. That party still hope to profit by Mr. Burr's convenient disposition, and to triumph on our division. All these things considered it will not be surprising if we should fail to lay before our country the most full and satisfactory proof of Mr. Burr's negotiation; and although it will not be deemed probable, under all the circumstances of the case, that more than presumptive testimony can be adduced, yet we shall prove substantially the negotiation, and that it was entered into by Mr. Burr to effect his election to the presidential chair.
The following communication made to ourselves, is written by a gentleman of unblemished character, one who is a member of the Rev. Mr. Abeel's congregation, and who informs us—and we place the utmost confidence in his information—that the ideas and the language of it are precisely those of the reverend Mr. Abeel and Dr. Linn. And although its publication is not strictly authorised by the reverend Mr. Abeel and Dr. Linn, yet the spirit and the language of it are emphatically their own. Neither of those two gentlemen will contradict, in public or in private, the facts stated in the communication. And though the reverend Mr. Abeel and Dr. Linn are not pledged to us to maintain those facts; although indeed we have not had a personal interview with either of those gentlemen, yet they are bound in honor and in truth to support the veracity of him who has been so obliging as to make to us the communication. If it be asked why the communicator does not avow his name, we answer that there is no occasion for such an avowal, since the reverend Mr. Abeel and Dr. Linn will not nor
cannot contradict the facts it contains. If, however, contrary to our expectation, founded on our knowledge of the private integrity of those two gentlemen, they should contradict, or endeavor to weaken those facts, then the communicator has pledged himself to us to support them by affidavit. Let it be remembered that Dr. Linn, the Rev. Mr. Abeel, and the communicator, reside in this city.
New-York, June 25th, 1802.
Gentlemen,
"Dr. Linn and the reverend Mr. Abeel of this city, told me, in a conversation I had with them, that they believed that Aaron Burr esq. had corresponded with federal members of congress, to get himself elected president of the United States, and that he had agreed to come into their measures. Some time after I saw Mr. Abeel and he said that it was a mistake that Mr. Burr had corresponded with federal members of congress, but that he had made a verbal agreement with them, and that if I wanted an investigation of the business, the person was then in town who would prove the fact."
"Note. I asked Dr. Linn his reason for believing that the correspondence took place? He replied that it could be proved in a court of Justice, and Mr. Abeel subjoined that he would vouch for the truth of it."
June 26.
"I called on Mr. Abeel this day and told him that I was going to make public what he and Dr. Linn had communicated to me respecting Mr. Burr. Mr. Abeel said that although the agreement which Mr. Burr had made with the federalists, was not told to him as a secret, yet, as the gentleman who was his authority had the character of Mr. Burr in his hands, he would not perhaps with his name to be given up without his consent. Mr. Abeel promised to see him between this day and Monday next."
June 28.
"I called on Mr. Abeel and asked him whether he had seen the gentleman above referred to? He answered no, but that he had considered the subject and did not think that the person who had informed him would contradict what he had said, but that he was afraid it would produce a duel between him and Mr. Burr. I then told him that I would make public what he had communicated to me. Mr. Abeel said well! but added that it might be attended with disagreeable consequences."
Such is the communication of our friend. It is probable that Mr. Abeel was made acquainted with the negotiation entered into between Mr. Burr and the federal gentleman, by the negotiator himself. For so firmly persuaded was Mr. Abeel that Mr. Burr had cordially received the federal negotiator, and assented to his propositions, that he authorised the gentleman, who communicated to us the above information, to repeat it to Mr. Burr himself, and to say that Mr. Abeel was his authority for it. The gentleman did not, however, communicate the information to Mr. Burr, but he very frankly gave it to us for the use of the writer of the "View." Accordingly it was introduced into that work, which Mr. Burr has read. Mr. Abeel and Dr. Linn are the two respectable clergymen mentioned in it, and they were generally known as such. Thus situated, Mr. Burr could hardly do less than visit Dr. Linn and Mr. Abeel on the subject. The following facts are also from Dr. Linn and the reverend Mr. Abeel, and, like the communication just read, will not nor cannot be contradicted. After considerable time had elapsed, Mr. Burr sent to Dr. Linn a friend, who asked him to sign a certificate for Mr. Burr. This certificate stated that the information given by Dr. Linn to the gentleman who communicated it to us for publication in the "View," was derived from common report. The bearer of the certificate subjoined, That Mr. Burr wished Dr. Linn to do no more than simply to certify that he got his information concerning the negotiation, from common report. Dr. Linn sent for Mr. Abeel to consult with him on the subject. Mr. Abeel waited on Dr. Linn accordingly. Dr. Linn then in the presence of the bearer of the certificate, asked Mr. Abeel whether he could sign it? Mr. Abeel replied no, Dr. Linn you cannot; the information we gave of Mr. Burr's negotiation was not obtained from common report. Dr. Linn then said he could not sign the certificate, and the bearer of it took his leave.
Mr. Burr afterwards wrote a note to Dr. Linn, requesting an interview with him at his house alone—When the note was received, Dr. Linn again sent for Mr. Abeel to confer with him concerning the solicited interview. Mr. Abeel advised Dr. Linn to avoid a conference with Mr. Burr alone, and expressed a readiness to accompany Dr. Linn provided Mr. Burr would receive them together. This was agreed upon, and they accordingly waited on Mr. Burr at his own house, where an interview was had in the presence of a gentleman whose name is to us unknown. Mr. Burr addressed himself to Dr. Linn and very politely enquired whether the information stated in the View concerning his negotiation with the federalists, and said to have come from two respectable clergymen in this city, was not derived by them from common report? The Reverend Mr. Abeel said no—the information was not derived from common
report. Dr. Linn coincided with the Reverend Mr. Abeel. A pause ensued. Mr. Abeel says that he expected Mr. Burr would have immediately enquired "from whom, gentlemen, did you receive the information?" but that no such enquiry was made; no such question asked. Mr. Burr manifested no disposition to sit the matter so closely: he enquired no further about it. Mr. Abeel then observed that himself and Dr. Linn had given the information to the gentleman, (who communicated that information to us for publication in the View) and that they were bound to support his veracity. They were sorry to say any thing against Mr. Burr, &c. Mr. Burr thanked them for their compliments and they retired.
This is a faithful narrative of this singular interview, and on which we hope we may be permitted to offer a few remarks.
To be continued.
Beware of the Scoundrel CHAMPNEY.
The annexed certificates have been collected, to guard the public against the imposition of a villain, who, after filing upwards of three columns in the Kentucky Gazette of the 19th instant, and of the Herald on the 26th, with a complicated medley of lies, and paltry advertisements signs himself Thos. Champney. I feel no disposition to comment on the matter, as I trust that the candid will be already convinced, else I could have crowded not only columns, but pages, and even whole papers, with proofs of the enormities of this detestable out-cast. I am invulnerable to all the malice he can invent, and assure the public that I shall never more intrude on the page of a newspaper, to inform or to prove to them that this wretch is too despicable even to be thought of.
LEO. CLAIBORNE.
(No. 1.)
I do hereby certify, (and am ready to do it on oath if required) that Leo. Claiborne applied to me, at the great dinner on the 5th July last, saying that he had won a race from Champney, and that he was to bring him one or two horses to Bradley's door that day, to be valued by myself and Mr. Barton, in payment for one hundred dollars, on account of the race; and for which sum Champney's mule stood as a pledge, staked with Bradley, for the delivery of that sum, in one or two horses on that day. I went to Bradley's after dinner, but found Champney was not there. I came in again to Bradley's on Tuesday, the following day, at the request of Claiborne, but Champney did not come forward on that day. Some time after the anniversary dinner, Champney called on me, and asked whether Claiborne had applied to me, to value horses on that day or not. I replied that he had. He told me to think again. I replied I would swear to it, and thereupon went away.
JNO. GARDNER.
(No. 2.)
I do hereby certify, (and am ready to do it on oath if required) that on the evening of that day on which Champney and Claiborne had a race to Frankfort and back, Champney came to Bradley's, where Claiborne had gone to bed. Champney took supper and staid some short time afterwards, but did not see Claiborne that night as I know of; nor do I believe he could have seen him then, without my knowledge. Champney dined at Bradley's on the day following, but I did not hear him make any offers to Claiborne that day that I can recollect, to settle with him. Champney dined at Bradley's on Monday, the day following; but I do not believe he saw Bradley, because he paraded with the Infantry company, and was out at the great dinner. Champney did not make any offers to release the mule on that day, that I know of. Champney came to Bradley's again on the Wednesday following; he was in company with Claiborne a great part of the day. He refused bringing horses to be valued, and told Claiborne that he should come out to his house for them. Afterwards he bantered Mr. John Arthur for a long time, to make a race with him for the same horse, Spunky, which had been beaten by Claiborne's mule, to Frankfort and back, against a horse belonging to Arthur. Champney says he took the mule away in my presence. I saw him get on his horse and ride round towards the stable, which added to his late conduct, made me suppose that he was going to take the mule away. I went immediately through the house to the back door, from which I could see the door of the stable. It was shut. I saw Champney open it and go in. I called to Claiborne, who was sitting in the passage, and told him that Champney had opened the stable door, and gone, as I supposed, to take the mule away. If this was taking the mule in my presence, then is Champney perfectly correct; but I verily believe, that it was not his desire that there should be any witness to the transaction. Soon after, I saw the mule go past the market house, and Champney following. I was taken that evening, by Claiborne and the constable, to assist in taking Champney, who was brought to town pretty late in the night. When he came to Bradley's he and the family were gone to bed. Champney went to bed, and Bradley was not informed of his being in the house until the next morning. Champ-

ney says that he presumes I will swear that he spent more time in town, on this account, than he had done altogether from the first of March. On the contrary, I will swear that he was between the first and the seventh of March in town four days out of five; and am satisfied therein by reference to Bradley's books, which are kept in my own hand writing. I know also that Claiborne owed Bradley considerably more than a hundred dollars, when Champney took the mule away; but believe at the same time, that Claiborne would have paid him before then on application, as I don't remember Bradley's ever calling on him for money due, but what was paid on demand. I have lived with Bradley, (with whom many of the first characters in Kentucky put up) in the capacity of an assistant clerk ever since he kept the house, and know of no instance where he has encouraged betting of any description but on the contrary, know that he has ever rigorously prohibited E. O. Faw, and every kind of gaming bank being held in his house.
G. T. COTTON.
(No. 3.)
I do hereby certify, (and am ready to do it on oath if required) that I was at Bradley's on the evening of the day on which Champney and Claiborne had the race to Frankfort and back, when I asked for Claiborne, and was informed that he had gone to bed. I staid there about half an hour, and as I left the house I met Champney, who had just arrived and was going into the house. I was at Bradley's a great part of the day on which Champney took the mule away—I saw Champney there bantering Claiborne to play at all fours, which he repeatedly refused to do. Towards evening I heard Champney tell Claiborne, that he would not bring in the horses to be valued as agreed on, but would take the mule away and he might come out to his house.
SAML. CLINTON.
(No. 4.)
I do hereby certify, (and am ready to do it on oath if required) that I was in company with Thomas Champney and Capt. A. Gray, at the house of John Downing in Lexington, about the latter end of the year 1800; where they were playing at cards for beer—Champney had won two or three mugs from him, at which he seemed much pleased, and offered to play with Gray for a jacket pattern, such as I should suppose to be worth three dollars, against which Gray staked three dollars cash—they played, and Gray won from Champney four patterns. I was to call on Champney for the patterns the next day, and make them up for Gray—I called at Champney's within a few days after, but was told he was from home. Gray left this place with his recruits in a short time afterwards, and at the moment of his departure gave me an order on Champney for the patterns, for which I was to give him credit on my account against him for work done—I called on Champney in a few days, and presented the order to him—he put the order in his pocket and kept it, saying that he was then in a hurry about something, but would pay me any time when I would call. Some short time afterwards I met him in the street, and asked him when he would let me have the patterns—he appeared angry, and asked me if I had not wrote that order myself—I asked him if he meant that I had forged it; he replied no, but said he did not understand whether the order was for money or the patterns; I said it was for the patterns—he then said as it was so, he would bring them in, having moved into the country. Some considerable time after that, I saw him as I stood at my shop door, and asked him why he did not bring me the patterns in, observing that he had got the order and refused to return it, and that I might lose the debt; he replied "damn the patterns, I will not pay you; Gray told me that he would be back, and I will settle with him"—Capt. Gray returned about five or six months ago, and asked me if I had got the order on Champney paid; I told him no: and that Champney had kept the order on my first presenting it, and now refused to pay or return it. He asked me to ride out with him to Champney's house—I did so, and Champney paid the patterns.
Some months ago, Claiborne sent a piece of Fancy Cord to my shop, which he told me he had got from Champney, and wanted it to be made into pantaloons for himself and some of his servants—I examined the piece, and found it so much damaged along one side, that I could not cut but to considerable loss—the stuff was in consequence thereof taken away.
C. COYLE.
(No. 5.)
I do hereby certify, and am ready to do it on oath if required) that after Champney had lost the race with Claiborne, he told me he intended to pay him with two horses, viz. a horse called Spunky, which in my opinion is not worth anything, and another then in my possession, which I conceived not worth more than 20 or 25 dollars, but would not give that amount for him. I offered to Champney, that Claiborne would not take such horses as those; to which he replied, he thought them good enough for him, and he did not know that he should give him any other.
OLIVER KEEN.
(No. 6.)
I do hereby certify, (and am ready to do it on oath if required) that when I first discovered Champney and Claiborne about
making a race to Frankfort and back, they were on the pavement before my door, the race was about to be concluded when Claiborne went up stairs, as I supposed to fetch some money to stake.
Champney called me aside and told me that they were to run for an hundred dollars cash, but that he had not much more than forty dollars, and wanted to know if I could help him to the balance; I told him I could not, and wished him to relinquish the thought of running; I observed to him I thought the race a bad one on his side, and that he certainly could not expect to win it; he appeared hurt at my reply and swore that he would run at any rate for he knew more about it than I did, and was sure he could win—I told him then, that, since he was determined to run he had better run for property, as he had several horses that were altogether useless to him, which he had no feed for, saving, a very bare pasture; the race was concluded for 130 dollars, and run the next day, thirty dollars cash was staked in my hand by each party, and Champney pledged a mule against Claiborne's gelding Blewkin (which he afterwards sold for 250 dollars in bank notes) each as security for the delivery of 100 dollars—to be paid by the loser at my door, on the Monday following—in one or two horses to be valued by capt. Gardner and mr. Barton; before they started Champney produced a note of hand for 40 dollars payable in about three months, against which he bantered Claiborne to bet, Claiborne repeatedly refused saying that he would not bet cash against, it and had not any property near the value. I lent Claiborne an old mare, which he staked against the note, but it was not done until after he had got on his horse and was starting off; and whilst Champney continued pressing him for the bet. Champney says he came to my house in the evening after the race, to make arrangements with Claiborne for having the horses valued, &c.
'Tis true he came there that evening and about the time he mentioned, but that he found Claiborne appeared to enjoy the pleasure of jeering him, &c. is altogether a most bare-faced lie. I know that Claiborne had gone to bed some time before Champney came, and that Champney never requested to see him that night, and I firmly believe Champney was never out of my sight that night, while he staid in my house. Champney says he came in on Sunday (the day following) and endeavored to settle with Claiborne. 'Tis true he came in on that day and asked me to give up his mule, to which I replied that by consent of Claiborne he should have her, but I thought I should not be justifiable in giving her up without it, he asked me where Claiborne was, and I conducted him up stairs to him. He says that on Monday he offered before me, to shew all his horses to capt. Gardner and let him value two without J. Barton, provided Claiborne would make the appointment with him: he lies, again for I did not see him that day that I know of, neither could I, for he says he was at my house, and it is well known that I was on parade at Maxwells with the infantry company—after enumerating a variety of overtures which he says he has made to Claiborne to settle, (all I believe equally false) for I never discovered any disposition in him to make me believe them true, unless his bantering Claiborne to play at cards nearly a whole day, may be so called—he confesses that he turned the mule out of the stable, and attempts to screen himself from public censure, by declaring that I should be no sufferer, for that if I would call any other time with Claiborne, he would give two horses of the full value he owed—He lies again; for in plain contradiction to this pretended honesty, he positively declared, on my first requesting him to return the mule, and informing him that Claiborne threatened to make me accountable for her, that he had got his mule and would keep her; that Claiborne might look to me for the horses and be damned, for he cared no more about it.
R. BRADLEY.
Those who did not see the farce, as he calls it, acted at my house, I think will cease to wonder at this villain not only attempting to make me pay his gaming debts, by taking out of my possession, without my privy or consent, a pledge given by himself for the value of one hundred dollars; but with a most malicious lie strikes at the reputation of my house—when they are informed, that after my discovering him in the very act of attempting to force open the door of a room in my house which was locked, he suffered me to take him by the shoulders and turn him out of doors, in the presence of several witnesses, where I forbade his entrance forever.

LONDON, August 30.
The dey of Tripoli has declared war against Sweden, and has rejected all the propositions made by the Swedish rear admiral Cederstrom—The port of Tripoli is now blocked up by the Swedish and American squadrons.
A letter from Cadiz, dated the 24th August, from the American consul of that port, says, "by this opportunity I forward official dispatches to our government of the treaty of peace, between the emperor of Morocco and the United States, being happily concluded by Mr. Simpson."
BOSTON, October 13.
BOSTON FRIGATE
The United States frigate Boston captain M'Neil, arrived in the outer harbor on Sunday last, from Gibraltar, 30 days. The commander informs, that a partial peace had been concluded with the emperor of Morocco, and that Mr. Simpson had returned to Tangiers;—That the emperor had claimed and manned the Tropolitine admiral, which had so long lain dismantled at Gibraltar, and fitted her for sea;—In consequence of which commodore Morris, considering her a Tropolitine, had ordered the Adams, captain Campbell, to cruise off Algeciras to watch her motion, and to capture her on her putting to sea; and had stationed an officer on shore to make signals:—and that commodore Morris, had failed from Gibraltar, with Mr. Cathcart, for Algiers.
The Boston has been stationed off Tripoli, where she was relieved by the Constellation, of 36 guns, captain Murray. She then proceeded to Naples, and conveyed a number of American & Swedes to Gibraltar. Captain M'Neil had a slight affair with three gun boats near Tripoli;—one of which he sunk, and the two others hauled into shoal water. The Boston suffered no injury.
The Danes have made peace with Tripoli, by the promise of tribute in money and military stores.

IMPORTANT.
We stop the press to insert the following article from a Raleigh N. C. paper of Oct. 19, just received:
AN IMPORTANT LETTER,
From a gentleman in Fayetteville, to the editors, dated the 15th inst. follows.
"A letter received here yesterday, by a young gentleman of the academy, from his father, a very respectable man in Georgetown, S. C. dated 11th instant, says, 'This town and neighborhood are all in great alarm, four French frigates from St. Domingo, were the whole of yesterday employed in landing Brigand Negroes at Mr. Alston's sea shore plantation, Waccamaw, and it is said they have landed not less than one thousand—the militia are marching from all directions against them.' I presume those are the frigates that were some time ago at New-York, and finding that they could not effect their design there, steered round to take advantage of a more defenceless place."

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
SONNET TO HEALTH.
Delightful visitor! thou lov'st to quit The couch of ease and splendid board of wealth; At homely fare, in rustic weeds to sit, I hail thee, sweet companion, goddess HEALTH!
With thee I'll brave the angry storms of fate, And learn undaunted all her ills to bear; With thee I'll smiling pass the rich man's gate, And treat with generous scorn all flattery fare.
Should bounteous heaven, to gild my simple lot, Give me a friend, or kind, endearing wife, Be thou still partner of my humble cot, And journey with me in the maze of life—
When death cries stop! thy parting smile I crave, Steal gently back and leave me in the grave.
ANECDOTE.
A gentleman in company with a fine lady, could not forbear telling her she was wonder- ous handsome. "Sir," says the lady, "I thank you for your good opinion, and with all my heart I could say as much for you too." "Why so you might madam," says the gentleman, "if you made no more consci- ence of a lie than I do."
