THE Kentucky Hotel.
THE Subscriber has leased of Mr. Henry Clay, for a term of years, that valuable stand for a Tavern, in the town of Lexington, formerly known by the name of Travellers' Hall, where he has opened a Hotel under the above title. The situation of this property, on the public square, directly opposite the North East front of the court house, and in the centre of business, gives it peculiar advantages. Great expense has been incurred in repairs and improvements, and in point of space, convenience and comfort the apartments of the house are surpassed by none. A new stable has been erected on the back part of the lot which he ventures to pronounce is the best in the state, which will be under the immediate superintendence of Mr. William T. Banton. He has provided himself with good servants, a plentiful stock of the best liquors, and in short with every necessary calculated to accommodate and render agreeable the time of those who may favor him with their custom; and he trusts that from the attention which he means personally to give to every department of his business, he will be found to merit that patronage which he thus presumes to solicit from the public. Gutterb Banks. Lexington, Jan. 1st, 1809.
Great Bargains.
PUBLIC SALE.—Will positively be sold to the highest bidder on Friday the seventh day of July next, at the farm of the subscriber, on Strodes road, four miles east of Lexington, on a credit of twelve months—bond, bearing interest from the date, with good security, will be required. A valuable stock of HORSES, consisting of work and saddle horses, brood mares with foals, and young geldings and fillies, from one to three years old. The mares from which this stock has been raised, were formerly selected and owned by Thomas D. Owings, esq. and capt. Saml. Prior, and unquestionably the best in the state—Great pains has been taken to improve it, by breeding from the best horses, such as the imported horses Spread Eagle, Speculator, Royalist, and others of high blood. Should the Farm here with advertised, be sold previous to the above sale—in that case, will be sold on the following day, all the stock of Cattle, Sheep and Hogs, a Waggon and Ox Cart, Farming Utensils, and almost every kind of article used in husbandry. Terms will be made known at the time of sale. I wish to sell (by private sale) my stud horse TRAFALGAR; he is famous as a foal-getter, and pedigree unexceptionable. Also my stud horse WASHINGTON, five years old, in high health & c. his sire Spread Eagle; his dam Kitty Fisher, Prior's running mare, never beaten, and won more races than any of her time—her son is supposed to be superior to her in her best days, both as to speed and bottom. I wish to sell (by private sale) that beautiful and highly improved FARM situated between three and four miles from Lexington, in Fayette county, state of Kentucky, known by the name of the Buck Eye plantation; containing 309 acres—For situation and fertility of soil, it is not surpassed by any farm in the state. The cleared land is laid off in a handsome style, the pasture lots well set with blue grass and clover—the water is plenty and good. There is on it a handsome young Orchard of apple and peach, of a choice selection. The buildings consist of a two story frame house, with 3 rooms & a passage on each finished in a plain manner; by plastering and painting all through—adjoining the house, is a convenient room, that separates the house from the kitchen, and has a communication with both—an excellent barn, stables, negro houses, meat house, milch house, &c. &c. Also a small tract, containing twenty-one and a quarter acres, lying between the above and Lexington, about two thirds cleared and in grass, a small house and good spring. This will be sold separate from, or with the other. The terms of payment is one third part in hand, one third part in one year, and the other third part in two years from the day of sale, to be secured as may be agreed on. William West. May 18th, 1809.
Patent Hemp & Flax breaking Machine.
THE subscribers have purchased the right for the state of Kentucky of Thomas Cooboon'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 farther account of the machine is deemed unnecessary, as it is presumed that those desirous of purchasing rights, will wish to satisfy themselves by seeing it in operation. Individual rights at twenty dollars, or rights for whole counties, may be procured by applying to either of the subscribers. Maddox Fisher, Joseph Boswell, David Sutton, John Fisher, Geo. Laws. Lexington, April 8th, 1809.

ABOUT two miles from the mouth of Hickman, in Jessamine county, on the 3rd of July last, a light BAY MARE, five or six years old, about fifteen hands high, one foot white and branded Br on her near shoulder.

Barr in Lexington, or will give information where she is to be had, shall receive a liberal reward from Walter Brashear. Bairdstown, August, 1808.

To the Editor of the Kentucky Gazette. Washington, May 24th, 1809. Dear Sir, Knowing as I do the pleasure it affords you to make your paper at all times the vehicle of useful information to your friends and the public, I have no apology to offer for addressing you this letter; which, if you please, you may give publicity to.
Its purport is to inform you, that I have just finished the necessary arrangements in the Secretary of State's office, for taking out three Patent Rights: the first for the preservation of animal and vegetable substances, (without the aid of salt) in their natural or cooked state; by which these substances will preserve as long as they can possibly be wanted so to do—as food for man or beast; and in this situation will be found susceptible of bearing the transitions of every climate, without danger of diminution or waste. This invention will probably be found particularly useful in victualling our navy, and trading ships of all descriptions; and obviate the many bad consequences found to arise to our fellow-citizens by the too constant use of salted and often times unsoaked provisions.
The second is for a machine to make shingles, laths, barrel, hoophead and pipe staves. It will also cut nails out of sheet iron and head them. It will also effect the hot and cold expression of oil; with a variety of other useful purposes where percussion is wanted. Joined to this, the mechanism is plain, simple and cheap; and not easily put out of order. I expect this machine, where the wood is propitious and the blocks already sawed, will deliver from twenty to thirty thousand shingles per day, by the labour of two men.
The third patent is for a planing mill, to be worked by a four ox or horse power; which, with the labour of two men and a boy, is expected to plane and joint from twenty to thirty thousand square feet of plank every ten hours the mill works. It will also cut timber, stone and marble, in compass shape, to any desired cord of a circle; and may be further applied to a variety of other useful purposes.
Possibly in another letter I may communicate to you some other improvements I have on the way. In the mean time, give me leave to assure you of the regard and esteem of
Dear Sir, Your obedient servant, JOSEPH COPPINGER. For the Kentucky Gazette.
No public institution in the town of Lexington seems better calculated to promote the public good, than the public good, than the Circulating Library. The people of Kentucky, though in the general, in easy and independent circumstances, have neither the means of procuring books; nor of adding to their book-cases very often new publications of merit. Without some institution of this kind, these characters who are disposed to improve and strengthen their mental faculties, as well as to increase their flock of knowledge, must consequently be stopped in their literary pursuits. They want books, and they have not the means of procuring them. They desire to read, but the price is too low to gratify their wishes. An institution which gives them the means to satisfy these laudable pursuits; which enables the poor farmer, or the poor mechanic to read without embarrassing his business, must be laudable in its nature, and deserve the public patronage. A free government like ours, depends for its support upon the intelligence of the mass of the people. This education and reading and thinking, among the people, which can alone perpetuate it. People can't read if they can't procure books. What private citizen here owns a library which a student can't read in a twelve month? What private citizen is there, either poor or rich, who has procured a collection of even 100 volumes? Where will we meet with a citizen, who does not belong to what is called one of the learned professions, that has made an attempt to form a library of his own? I know of none: none can be pointed out to me. The consequence must be, if some attempts are not made throughout this country, to form public libraries, to disseminate useful information; that knowledge will be confined to the professional characters; who, as knowledge is a certain road to power, must ever rule the state. Why is it that our courts lean on the lawyers? because the lawyers have the learning. Why can the legislature do nothing without them? for the same reason, and because no other members understand what they are appointed to make laws about. We are consequently governed by an aristocracy of legal knowledge and talents; and will always be so governed, until the body of the people read and think, and thus learn to act for themselves. I am as effectively precluded from reading at the present moment, if I am not rich enough to purchase a library, as I could be under a despotism like the old government of Spain; which through the inquisition, told the people what they might read, or what they should not read.
This is the real situation of a great part of the people of America. Fortunately the people who reside near Lexington, have now a prospect of being relieved from this evil. The Circulating Library is at last in a prosperous situation. The collection of books is numerous and good, and is daily increasing. For the paltry sum of ten dollars & an annual contribution of nine shillings—less than the price of one bottle of wine, and not more than the cost of twelve half pints of tobacco, a share-holder becomes the owner of two thousand volumes of valuable books.
Shares I am informed will remain at this price until September, when they will be raised to 15 or 20 dollars: their intrinsic value being at present upwards of 30 dollars: such an institution must deserve encouragement. I can have, for the small sum of ten dollars, and the pitiful contribution of 9 shillings annually, the use of books which would cost me four or five thousand dollars; and the contributions which I pay, all go to the support and increase of the institution itself. Affluent men who wish to preserve our happy form of government, to introduce the knowledge and arts of all ages and nations, to educate their families, and give to their children an opportunity of reading, are not to hesitate, about coming forward and patronizing an institution so beneficial in its nature and tendency, whether they read or not. Let them recollect how often they spend foolishly & uselessly, every year—nay monthly, if not weekly and daily; much larger sums of money.

Private Letters from Merchants. LIVERPOOL, 27th March, 1809. We feel the importance of the crisis at which we are entering into business, not only from the suspension of the connexion between Great Britain and America, in which we are more particularly interested, but from the very unsettled state of the commercial relations between the different countries of Europe.
Since Congress have determined on the continuance of the embargo by so decided a majority, we can entertain but little expectation of an early change in the policy of your government; our attention, therefore, was anxiously directed to the discussions on the orders in council, which have recently taken place in both houses of parliament, der an expectation that ministers would have communicated something of a nature favourable to the restoration of our commercial intercourse with the United States. We regret, however, to state, that no disposition was evinced to recede from, or even relax in the principles on which the orders in council were originally founded; but, on the contrary, a determination to adhere to the system, until the primary and alleged cause of their promulgation should be removed. Although it is very generally supposed that negotiations are pending, yet we cannot hope for any speedy accommodation, while the two governments retain the grounds which they have respectively taken.
The advices lately received from the continent of Europe, speak very confidently of approaching hostilities between Austria and France. The probability of this circumstance is supposed to be corroborated by a variety of circumstances, but it affords have actually arrived at the crisis represented, more decisive information may be very soon expected. A rumour has been in circulation for some days, of an alteration in the councils of Russia and the other northern powers, but it rests on authority entitled to little credit. Should any of these reported changes take place, an important effect would be produced on many articles in our markets, though differently influenced as they formed the subjects of import or export; but in the present state of uncertainty, it would be premature to hazard an opinion.
The accounts from Spain have not of late presented any thing remarkably interesting in the point of military operations, except in the surrender of Saragossa. It appears that the advance of the French armies, since their successful career in the north, has not been of the rapid description naturally to be apprehended; to what cause this is to be attributed, we are not in possession of information enabling us to judge.
For the last two months, the importations of cotton have exceeded the demand, so that our stock is now considerably larger than it was at the close of the last year. This is partly owing to the arrival of a number of vessels which have broken the embargo, laden with cotton. The decline may no doubt be attributed to this circumstance, and the uncertainty to what further extent that system may be carried; yet the great depression cannot wholly be ascribed to this cause, since our consumption is so much reduced, since even without supplies from America, while other sources remain open, those apprehensions of scarcity, on which the high prices of last year were founded, seem now to be no longer entertained. They felt upwards may be quoted 1s. 11d. a 2s. 1d.—New Orleans 1s. 11d. a 2s. 1d.—Tennelle 1s. 8d. a 1s. 10d. The price of Sea Island is merely nominal, ordinary and stained is 1s. 10d. a 2s. 3d. middling 2s. 6d. a 3s. fine 3s. 2d. a 3s. 3d. and very fine 3s. 9d. a 4s. per pound. The intelligence of the arrival of a vessel from Norfolk with a cargo of 370 bds. tobacco, produced a strong effect upon our market. Some holders, under the impression of the moment, were extremely anxious to sell their flocks, & actually sold at a reduction of 4d. to 6d. per lb. As no further arrival, however, immediately followed, the alarm subsided, and prices revived to much that when the cargo was brought to public sale on the 17th ult. the fine qualities nearly reached their former standard. Since that period prices have been rather declining, and the trifling demand which exists, is confined almost exclusively, to the fine descriptions, which are now uncommonly scarce. Not much, however, is expected to be done, while the state of things is so precarious. We may quote York and James river, 1s. 5d. a 2s.—Rappahannock 1s. 4d. a 1s. 8d. Georgia and Carolina 1s. 4d. a 1s. 7d. Stemmed 2s. a 2s. 3d.—Maryland 8d. a 1s. 2d. Kentucky 1s. 4d. a 1s. 6d. per lb. Although very little has arrived from the U. States, except the cargo we have just noticed, yet from the extensive scale on which the embargo regulations have hitherto been evaded by vessels laden with cotton, both speculators and manufacturers are induced to act cautiously, conceiving, that if the practice is continued, the strong temptation which tobacco affords, will, in all probability, bring forward additional supplies, and produce a rapid reduction in price.
Judging from the importations from Canada last year, it is probable we may receive supplies of ashes sufficient for our own consumption, considering the depressed state of some of our own manufactures. The Irish linen trade, at one time afforded an extensive market for this article as a bleaching material, but owing to the scarcity of flax feed, that branch of national industry must suffer severely, and consequently diminish the demand for ashes, at present both descriptions are dull, and rather on the decline. Pots 80s. a 83s.—and pearls 70s. a 77s. per cwt.
The demand for wheat, tho' for some time past pretty regular, has not been spirited, and prices have, in consequence, rather given way. Good American is now worth about 14s. 6d. per 70 lb. and superfine flour would obtain 56s. per bbl. The stock of wheat now on hand, from an acknowledged shortness in our last crop, and a deprivation of foreign supplies, is considered inadequate
to the usual rate of consumption; it is therefore expected that the market, though subject to occasional fluctuation, will support high prices until it is influenced by the prospects of harvest, or some favorable change in our foreign relations.
American rice, of which we have very little, is heavy at 50s. a 58s. per cwt. As the supplies from the Brazils are falling at comparatively low prices.
Our supplies of turpentine are entirely derived from the United States, our stocks are now almost exhausted, though several parcels have lately dropped in by vessels evading the embargo. The prices now demanded are 75s. a 88s. per cwt. but the consumers hesitate to purchase, until it is ascertained that the new regulations for more effectually enforcing the embargo, prove efficient. Tar, which a short time ago obtained 64s. has declined to 50s. a 54s. per barrel. The prospect of our supplies from Sweden suffering no interruption, and the reported changes in the politics of the north of Europe, are probably the causes which have most sensibly affected this article.
The small parcels of staves lately arrived by vessels that evade the laws of the states, sold readily. Good barrels may be quoted 35s. a 39s.—hhd. 45s. a 48s.—and pipe 60s. per M.
The demand for timber has been for some time on the decrease, owing to the spirit of ship-building, &c. being checked by the high price of the material, and the depressed state of the trading and manufacturing interests. The supplies, however, afforded by Sweden and British settlements, are very inadequate to our usual wants, and every description is now exceedingly scarce. Very little American of any kind at market. New-York oak logs would now realize 5s. a 6s. pine 4s. a 4s. 4d.—N. England oak logs, 4s. 6d. a 5s. pine 4s. a 4s. 4d. maple, beech and birch, 3s. 4d. a 4s. and Georgia pitch pine, 6s. a 7s. 7d. per cubic foot. Since the rumour of a change in the disposition of Russia, the Russians are more disposed to sell, and probably would submit to some reduction from the prices lately obtained.
In Ireland the want of flax feed is seriously felt. In order to alleviate the evil, government have offered a bounty of five shillings per bushel on the first 50,000 bushels of foreign feed, imported in the united kingdom in the course of the current year. We are apprehensive however, from the state of our political relations, and the advanced period of the notification, that not much seasonable relief can be expected from the measure. For such parcels as are fit for sowing, 16 to 17 pounds per hhd. is asked.
From the effects produced on our market, in the moment of alarm, occasioned by reports of a renewal of the embargo, and more recently by the number of arrivals from the United States, we may form some idea of the consequences which would probably ensue, upon the actual repeal of that measure. An immense influx of produce must be almost immediately expected, as you have nearly two whole crops ready for shipment, which affords certain proofs that our stocks would ultimately accumulate to an unprecedented extent. The market would be paralysed, and the depression effected in many articles would be rapid and usually great; nor in all probability would it be speedily removed. Tobacco and turpentine, at the present extravagant prices, would, it may be supposed, present instances remarkably striking. Should the resumption of your trade be founded on arrangements confining it exclusively to Great Britain, the effects described, may be considerably augmented, in consequence of the supplies which the continent of Europe might require, being necessarily thrown into this country.—Under this increased pressure we could scarcely hope for any effectual relief from an export demand, as it may be reasonably supposed, under these arrangements, our trade would continue excluded from the principal continental markets. Some of these effects may possibly be modified, by occasional interruptions in the supply, or by incidental and unforeseen causes arising from the circumstances of the times; yet the consequences of a state of things, so singular and unprecedented, are much to be dreaded. This general view of the subject we, we hope, suggest the propriety of a prudent and cautious procedure, as we fear that some will be disappointed in their expectations of obtaining high prices for shipments that arrive the earliest at market. For it may be expected that both manufacturers and buyers of American produce will suspend their purchases, fully aware that the first arrival from the United States will be the forerunner of numerous others, which will speedily follow. The immediate consequences will be an almost total stagnation, rendering it extremely difficult to effect sales even at very reduced prices.
LIVERPOOL, 1st April, 1809.
We wrote to you on the 27th ult. subsequent to which, intelligence of a very important nature was, on the same day, generally received by the New-York packet. From the course of proceedings in the house of Representatives, it is a very prevalent opinion, that the resolution for a partial repeal of the embargo will be carried into effect. Although there is no certain information under what provision of regulations this relaxation is intended to take place, yet a very strong persuasion exists that we shall receive large supplies of produce through the circuitous channel of neutral ports, and even by direct arrivals. The prospect of this event has effected a very considerable reduction in the price of many of your exports. The most striking and important, we shall briefly notice.—Upland cottons have fallen to 6d. per lb. and the other descriptions in proportion.—The best leaf tobacco can now be bought at 1s. and stemmed at 1s. 2d. a 1s. 3d. per lb.—Turpentine could not now be forced off at more than 40s. a 50s. per cwt.—Ashes would scarcely obtain a purchaser at 60s. a 65s. per cwt. The sudden and unexpected changes, which have been effected, renders our advices of the 27th ult. less interesting; we hope, however, that by comparing the state of the market at that time with that which it now presents, the remarkable contrast may prove useful. It will be perceived that the effects, which we then apprehended as a natural consequence of the removal of the embargo, have been, in a considerable degree, realized by the prospect of a partial repeal of that measure.
Should the re-opening of your commerce take place in the manner which advices by the packet lead us to expect, while the belligerents continue determined to enforce their orders and decrees, (and we are not as yet aware of any modification,) we are afraid difficulties will arise, from which serious consequences may ensue. Very few ports in Europe can be strictly called neutral, and any vessel attempting to enter a port actually blockaded, or declared to be so, becomes a subject of capture. The dangers you incur, are likely to be increased from the revolution on which the kingdom of Sweden has undergone, the king having been deposed and made a prisoner. The duke of Sudermania, who, as regent, has assumed the reins of government, declares his determination to conclude a peace immediately.—Should this be accomplished, Sweden, from the circumstances in which she is placed, will scarcely be allowed to remain neutral; on the contrary, it may be apprehended she will be compelled to accede to the general confederacy, and shut her ports against G. Britain; and it may be fairly presumed, that our orders in council, from the principles on which they were originally issued, will, in their operation, embrace Sweden, should she, unfortunately, become our enemy.
LONDON, April 9. Sir John Moore's celebrated last Letter. Yesterday we were favoured with a copy of the following letter of Sir John Moore which has just been printed, in pursuance of the order of the house of commons, and concerning which, great curiosity has been excited. Extract of a letter from Lt. Gen. Sir John Moore, to Viscount Castlereagh, dated Corunna, January 13th, 1809. "Situating as this army is at present, it is impossible for me to detail to your lordship, the events which have taken place, since I had the honor to address you from Astorga on the 31st of December: I have therefore determined, to send to England, brigadier Gen. Charles Stewart, as the officer best qualified to give you every information you can want, both with respect to our actual situation, and the events which have led to it. "Your lordship knows, that if I had followed my own opinion as a military man, I should have retired with the army from Salamanca. The Spanish armies were there assembled; there was no Spanish force to which we could unite, and I was satisfied no efforts would be made to aid us, or to favour the cause in which they were engaged. "I was sensible however, that the apathy and indifference of the Spaniards would never have been believed; that had the British withdrawn, the loss of the cause would have been imputed to their retreat, and it was necessary to risk this army, to convince the people of England, as well as the rest of Europe, that the Spaniards had neither the power nor the inclination to make efforts for themselves. It was for this reason that I made the march to Sahagun. As a diversion, it succeeded—I brought the whole disposable force of the French against this army, and it has been allowed to follow me without a single movement being made to hinder my retreat. The people of the Gallicias, though armed, made no attempt to stop the passage of the French through their mountains. They abandoned their dwellings at our approach, drove away their carts, oxen, and every thing that could be of the smallest use to the army. The consequence has been, that our flock have been left behind; and when our horses or mules failed, which, on such marches, and thro' such a country, was the case to a great extent, baggage, ammunition, stores, &c. and even money were necessarily destroyed or abandoned. "I am sorry to say, that the army, whose conduct I had such reason to extol on its march thro' Portugal, and on its arrival in Spain, has totally changed its character since it began to retreat. I can say nothing in its favour, but that when there was a prospect of fighting the enemy, the men were then orderly, and seemed pleased and determined to do their duty. In front of Villa Franca, the French came up with the reserve, with which I was covering the retreat of the army; they attacked it at Calcebelos. I retreated, covered by the 95th regiment, and marched that night to Herrejas, and from thence to Nogales and Lugo, where I had ordered the different divisions which preceded to halt and collect.—At Lugo, the French again came up with us. They attacked our advanced posts on the 6th and 7th, and were repulsed in both attempts, with loss on our side. I heard from the prisoners taken, that three divisions of the French army were come up, commanded by marshal Soult; I therefore expected to be attacked on the morning of the 8th. It was my wish to come to that issue; I had perfect confidence in the valour of the troops, and it was only by crippling the enemy, that we could hope either to retreat or embark unmolested. I made every preparation to receive the attack, and drew out the army in the morning to offer battle. "This was not in moral Soult's object. He either did not think himself sufficiently strong or wished to play a surer game, by attacking on our march, or during our embarkation. The country was intersected, and his position too strong, for me to attack with an inferior force. The want of provisions would not enable me to wait any longer. I marched that night; and in two forced marches, for six or eight hours in the rain, I reached Betanzos on the tenth instant. "At Lugo, I was sensible of the impossibility of reaching Vigo, which was at too great a distance, and offered no advantages to embark in the face of an enemy. My intention was then to have retreated to the peninsula of Betanzos, where I hoped to find a position to cover the embarkation of the army in Ares or Redes Bays; but having sent an officer to reconnoitre it, by his report I was determined to prefer this place. I gave notice to the admiral of my intention, and begged that the transports might be brought to Corunna.—I found them here on my arrival on the 11th, the embarkation would easily have been effected, for I had gained several marches on the French. They have now come up with us, the transports have not arrived; my position in front of this place is a very bad one; and this place, if I am forced to retire into it, is commanded within musket shot, and the harbor will be commanded by cannon on the coast that no ship will be able to lay in it. In short, my lodgement, Stewart will inform you how critical our situation is. It has been recommended to me to make a proposal to the enemy, to induce him to allow us to embark quietly, in which case he gets us out of the country soon, and this place, with its stores, &c. complete; that otherwise we have the
power to make a long defence, which must cause the destruction of the town. I amaverse to make any such proposal, and am exceedingly doubtful if it would be attended with any good effect; but whatever I resolve on this head. I hope your lordship will be assured, that I shall accept no terms that are in the least dishonorable to the army or to the country.

LEXINGTON, JUNE 20.
RICHARD M. JOHNSON, TO HIS CONSTITUENTS.
Washington City, May 30, 1809.
DEAR SIR, At the commencement of the extra session of the eleventh Congress, it becomes my duty to address you. Read and judge for yourselves. Though internal conspiracies have been engendered against the union of the states, the violence of party has been unparalled in our history—the laws of the general government have been violated in many instances with impunity—monarchs have predicted and willed the downfall of the republican party—foreign insults and injuries were either excused or justified you stand firm upon the basis of the constitution, united by the blood of sages and patriots, and peace again opens upon us in consequence of the measures of a republican administration. This has given a glorious triumph to the friends of freedom; and let them rejoice. This is another proof that the people can govern themselves without giving a rod of iron to tyrants to govern them. Examine for yourselves that you may believe. The embargo system has produced its desired effects as to Great Britain. The experiment has proven it to be more than the suggestion of prudence—it was the measure of wisdom. Notwithstanding the many violations of the embargo system, it has compelled Great Britain to yield to our just claims in several prominent points, and executed a promise to proceed to prompt negotiation as to others.
Great Britain has at length tendered satisfaction for the outrage on the Chesapeake; that is, she has disavowed the act, and recalled Admiral Berkeley; she has agreed to restore the men forcibly taken on board the Chesapeake, and to make ample pecuniary provision for the injured widows and orphans, and the wounded, in that unprovoked attack upon the American frigate. She has agreed to rescind her orders in council which violated our neutral rights, and imposed a tax upon the native products of our soil; and she has agreed to send a minister to this country with full powers to negotiate upon all matters of difference and complaint between the two nations. How this negotiation will terminate, time alone will unfold. One thing is certain—you have placed your confidence in a President who will never sacrifice the rights of this nation to any foreign power on earth. In consequence of the above arrangement with the cabinet of St. James, the President, by proclamation, has opened the commercial intercourse between the two nations by suspending our embargo thereon, as it respects Great Britain, from the 10th of June.
Look at the policy and the politics of those who have so warmly opposed the administration of Mr. Jefferson. They recommended a repeal of the embargo—the partial non-intercourse—a re-action of the proclamation interdicting British armed vessels from entering our waters—and in fact to undo every thing that had been done to resist foreign aggressions. Declarations were made that we had no cause of war with England—that she was fighting for existence—and our outrages upon us were justified upon the principle of retaliation upon France—that our government was in the wrong—that Great Britain would yield her existence as soon as the world yielded to our coercive system—war with France, and alliance with Great Britain openly advocated in many of the tory papers in the United States, and in many parts of the union. What would have been the consequences of this policy? Eternal and everlasting disgrace to this free republic, and a complete abandonment of the sacred principles of independence. It would have been war with France, and submission to England. But these calamities have been averted by the measures of a republican administration. Your long forbearance, your patient suffering, your love of country, your support of the measures recommended by your beloved Jefferson, have gained you a signal victory over internal foes, and foreign enemies. Foreign aggression impelled us to resist. The people of the United States never will pay contributions and taxes to foreign nations. The people I represent will never consent to be hewers of wood for Napoleon, nor drawers of water for the king of England. Our Washington is dead, but our confidence in Providence is not diminished. A day—an hour of virtuous liberty, is worth an eternity of bondage.
A republican government is the strongest, and only rightful government on earth. The great body of the people are, and will remain virtuous, industrious, and unambitious. They are satisfied with remaining in the bosom of their families, under their vine, and their fig tree, where none can make them afraid. They may sometimes be deceived by wolves in sheeps' clothing, but perform a sacred duty to yourselves and posterity, and you will soon be undecieved. Be vigilant—examine. You have the power in your own hands. Great exertions have been made throughout the United States to change the administration of the general government. Do you want a change? Where is the evil? Put your finger on the spot. Always discriminate between the real reformer, and the disaffected who would change the fundamentals of this free and happy government. Such men do unfortunately exist in every nation. The time-server, the office-hunter, the loaves-and-fishes men, the passive-obedience men, the ambitious and disappointed, those who look upon the people as a swinish multitude, friends to monarchy, and enemies to a republic, constitute a part of those who would promote principles inconsistent with freedom. Local disaffection never can destroy the government; family quarrels, or family influence cannot endanger our liberties. Merit must generally prevail, and good principles must generally govern the people. I shall never fail, for one, to look to the good sense of the people on all trying occasions.
Nor shall my confidence be diminished until experience shall convince me. Speculations shall never make me despair of the republic. No matter what tribulation may call a temporary gloom upon our prosperity, the people of the United States will govern themselves, and never will ask a king to rule over them! The patriotism of the people has been tested. They have changed former administrations without civil wars; they have reformed abuses, and purged the body politic; and they determined by the election of the present chief magistrate to continue those principles upon which our revolution was founded, and which alone can perpetuate our republican government.
Many of these reflections have arisen from the present state of this nation. There are some points upon which all honest politicians, all Americans will agree; viz. the sacred union of the states, resistance to foreign aggression, and keeping out of the wars of Europe as long as the honour of the nation will admit of it; those who would dare to violate these principles should be considered as the enemies of the United States—they should be classed with no party—they should be deemed traitors. In times of difficulty and danger, it is a great misfortune that there should be even a difference of sentiment upon the subject of our internal government; but to our sorrow we have discovered the impossibility of union or reconciliation. The time has passed and gone. Censures have been heaped on the late administration by those who were once in the possession of power, and who retired to the bosom of society because the people preferred other rulers. This opposition to an administration which has met your sanction and my support, induces me to make a short comparison of the leading features of the two administrations.
Under the presidency of Mr. Adams, war was provoked with France, and every exertion was made by the leaders of the federal party to prevent an amicable settlement of our differences with that nation; after assurances had been given that ministers would be cordially received for that purpose.
The stamp act was passed, and a host of officers created—supervisors, inspectors, &c. The alien bill was passed into a law; the object of which was to fend from this land of freedom those foreigners who sought a shelter from persecution, civil and religious—for at the very time, a law respecting alien enemies was in existence. Yes! this law was to sacrifice foreign republicans who would not bow the neck, and receive the yoke of thralldom.
The sedition law was enacted—to protect the president and congress from censure. A direct violation of the constitution. It abridged the liberty of speech and the press. It was an invitation to approbation, and a punishment in case of blame. It was laying the foundation for a maxim remembring that adopted in Great Britain, that "the king can do no wrong." Under this law, republicans were confined and imprisoned. This legal muzzle was intended as a bribe to hypocrisy, but as destruction to independence of mind. A standing army of twelve regiments was raised without any necessity.
Money borrowed at eight per cent; viz. Five millions of Dollars. The public debt was increased, and the building of a navy commenced. Useless officers were appointed, including seventeen partisan judges.
The administration of Mr. Jefferson commenced on the 4th of March 1801. This was an era of reformation, and a return to good whig principles, which never failed to govern your chief who has lately retired to Monticello.
The excise, the stamp act, the direct tax, the alien law, were repealed; and a host of useless officers dismissed.
The sedition law expired. Seventeen useless judges were dismissed. The burthens of the people were taken off. Commerce has flourished.
Agriculture has improved. The arts & sciences have been cultivated. The peace and honor of the nation have been preserved.
The army was disbanded. The navy was laid up in ordinary.
A new territory equal to the United States in extent, including the navigation of the Mississippi and its waters, was secured by purchase.
About forty millions of dollars of the principal of the public debt was discharged, including the payment made in the Louisiana purchase.
The native right of soil to 150,000 square miles, which is equal to upwards of 90,000,000 acres of the national domain was extinguished by the policy of Mr. Jefferson, and the benign influence of religion and civilization extended to many savage tribes.
I will not protract the comparison—nothing but necessity should have induced me to make it. It is proper that you should look to the conduct and politics of those who oppose the measures of administration. Let those who talk of the mote in the eye of the republican administration, first take the beam from the eye of the federal one which they supported, and which would have swallowed up the liberty of speech, and the press, and the state authorities, upon the ruins of which a despotism would have been created, and you and your posterity would now have been bound in the chains of slavery.
The militia of the United States amounted, from the last estimate, to 600,000 effective men.
Notwithstanding the orders in council and French decrees which have destroyed our commerce for these two years, we have not been compelled to resort to internal taxes. The money in the treasury on the 1st of April amounted to upwards of 9,500,000 dollars, a sum sufficient to meet the expenses of the year; the predictions of false prophets to the contrary notwithstanding.
We have received no certain intelligence from France since the last session, and it is uncertain whether we shall before we adjourn; nor can I hazard an opinion on what will be the result of our differences with that power. But should Bonaparte continue in force his obnoxious decrees against our commerce, I presume for the present we shall continue the non-intercourse as to his dominions; but it is very natural for us to hope for a favourable change in our differences with the court of St. Cloud.
I did suppose the partial settlement of our differences with England, and a prospect of further negotiation, would curtail the business of this session, and that we should remain in council a very few weeks; but much business has been marked out, and some very important measures must be adopted; particularly, we must make such regulations in our navigation act, by protecting duties, as shall effectually support the infant manufactures of the United States, by which our dependence on foreign markets will be lessened, and a sure foundation laid for our future happiness and independence.
I have annexed for your perusal the remarks I made upon the subject of our foreign relations. It will supercede the necessity of protracting this letter. Y
our confidence at a moment of great interest to this nation—I have never been unmindful of the trust a single moment when duty called. My feeble powers have been exerted to serve you. If my conduct has met with the approbation of my constituents, I have received my reward. It is my boast that I represent a district of patriots and warriors, as ready to take up arms to defend their rights as they would be willing to put them down when those rights were secured. With whatever anxiety it may be attended, such is my happiness in serving freemen that I can never wish to serve men of other principles, for never can I change mine for any office or emolument that power can bestow. Let us all join in purity of heart, and express our obligations to that Providence who has again delivered this nation from the calamities of war without a sacrifice of its independence. Let us remember that if we do our duty, we shall never be forsaken.
With real attachment to your interest, and sincere wishes for your happiness, I remain
Your friend, R. H. M. JOHNSON.

WASHINGTON, June 5.
FRANCIS MALBONE, Esq. Senator from Rhode-Island, suddenly dropped down dead, on Sunday morning last, on his way to divine service, at the foot of Capitol Hill. It
may be some consolation for his weeping family to learn, that all Washington has participated in their sympathies and their tears on this occasion. The Senate have duly honored his memory. He was yesterday interred, notwithstanding the pouring of the rain, with legislative and national distinction.
CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Wednesday, May 31.
Mr. McKim presented a petition from the Americans concerned in Miranda's expedition, now confined in jail in South America, praying relief. Referred to Messrs. McKim, Say, Emott, Roane, and Cochran. On motion of Mr. Lyon, the petition of Thomas Paine, presented at the last session, was referred to the committee of claims.
PUBLIC LANDS.
Mr. Rhea offered the following resolution: Resolved, that the committee on the Public Lands do enquire into the expediency of laying off and describing by certain metes and bounds, a tract of country to which the Indian title has been extinguished, within the limits of Louisiana, and to include all the settlements within the said territory, & ohaving the said tract of country laid off into townships & sections, half & quarter sections, agreeable to the several laws heretofore made for surveying the lands of the U. S. and also to enquire into the expediency of granting one quarter of a section to every free male white person who now resides thereon or who will within years actually improve and reside thereon.
This resolution was supported by Mr. Rhea, on the ground that the settlements in that country were much dispersed, and that the speedy settlement of it would give security to the frontiers, and form a barrier between the American settlers and the Indian nations on the frontier. It was opposed by Mr. Ely on the ground that the subject had for several sessions been before the committee of public lands, who, however disposed to act on it, had never been able to perceive that any good was to result from it; and by Mr. Lyon on the ground, that the very reference of the subject to a committee would be an injury to the U. S. and a vexation to the people, delaying them from purchasing lands under the idea that Congress were about to give them to settlers.
The motion was negatived—52 to 44.
MILITARY ACADEMY.
Mr. Lewis offered the following resolution: Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire into the expediency of removing from West Point the corps of engineers constituting the military academy, to the city of Washington; and that they have leave to report thereon by bill or otherwise.
On the question "Will the house agree to consider on the resolution" there were for considering it, 47—against it 51.
DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES.
Mr. Bacon laid on the table the following resolution: Resolved, That the secretary of the treasury be directed to prepare and report to this house, a plan for the application of such means as are within the powers of Congress, for the purpose of protecting and fostering the manufactures of the United States, together with a statement of the several manufacturing establishments which have been commenced, the progress which have been made in them, and the success with which they have been attended, and such other information, as in the opinion of the secretary, shall be material in exhibiting a general view of the manufactures of the United States.
A motion having been made to print the resolution, Mr. Lyon opposed the printing of it. He said that something should be done at this session, for the benefit of manufacturers. It was cold comfort to them, that they should have a report on the subject at the next session. He would not postpone a consideration of the subject, from the fear of giving offence to the British government by manufacturing for ourselves. He would proclaim to the world our intention to encourage manufactures.
Mr. Bacon concurred heartily in the patriotic views of the gentleman from Kentucky in encouraging the manufactures of our own country. He had no idea by this motion of interfering with any particular measure which the gentleman wished to adopt in relation to manufactures; he merely looked forward to the establishment of some practical system for the encouragement of manufactures.
It was ordered to be printed.
AMERICAN SEAMEN.
Mr. Dana's resolution of yesterday was taken up, and referred to a committee consisting of Messrs. Dana, Burwell, Cook, Cobb, and N. R. Moore.
EXPENDITURE OF PUBLIC MONIES.
The resolution for appointing a committee to enquire into the application of public monies, heretofore agreed to by the house, but re-considered for the purpose of amendment, was amended so as to limit the duties of the committee to an investigation of the money transactions of the last eight years, and passed; and Messrs. Randolph, Macon, Smilie, J. C. Chamberlain, Seaver, Howard and Southard, were appointed the committee.
Thursday, June 1.
THURSDAY, JUNE 1.
Mr. Lyon offered the following resolution: Resolved, That for the protection of those who have commenced, and the encouragement of those who may be disposed to set on foot manufactures within the United States of the articles hereinafter enumerated, as well as for the encouragement of the cultivation of the productions necessary for such manufactures, provision ought forthwith to be made by law to subject to additional duties on their importation into the United States, all articles of which leather is the material of chief value—hemp and cotton and all articles of which they or either of them are the material of chief value—Woolen cloths whose invoice prices shall exceed six shillings sterling per square yard—Woolen hosiery, window glass, silver and plated wares, paper of every description, nails, spikes and tacks, hats, clothing ready made, millinery of all kinds, beer, ale and porter.
This resolution was, after debate, refused a reference to the committee of commerce and manufactures, 55 to 49, and ordered to lie on the table, ayes 75.
PHILADELPHIA, June 6, '809.
A gentleman, passenger in the Active, from St. Bartholomews, says, that he was captured on his passage from Bordeaux, which port he left about the 1st May, at which time there was great rejoicing on account of the news of France and Austria having concluded a strict alliance, the latter power giving two of her principal places as a security for the faithful performance of the compact.
The report of an arrival in the Delaware from Bordeaux, appears to be unfounded, and is now supplanted by a similar report from St. Bartholomews. We gave the matter only as a report, but our judgment as to the alleged fact led us to disbelieve it; for we could not credit the conclusion of a treaty on the part of Austria with France, after all her stupendous preparations for war against France, upon any other grounds than an assumption that the court of Austria had become more wise than it has been half a century past, an assumption which there is nothing to sanction. We believe that the Austrian cabinet will be stimulated to its destruction, in order to occupy France in Europe, while the British are carrying on their plans in South America, plans long formed, much matured, of which the agents
are already in the islands and on the main, where we may expect at no very remote day, to hear of an explosion which will require all the wisdom and constancy of our government, in its neutral and pacific policy, to guard our country from the effects of. The United States, with a steady pursuit of the policy that has so far preserved us from direct involvement in European conflicts, will no doubt profit commercially by the convulsions which Great Britain is stirring up in South America; the French scattered over those colonies, will like those of Havana and St. Jago, and like those of St. Domingo in former years, fly to our country, and the wealth of the fugitives will be diffused among us; but the most lucrative effects will be what has greatly influenced the abandonment of the British Orders in Council: the provisions and other supplies of the United States will be essential to any military or maritime enterprizes; and as Great Britain is cut out from the supplies of nullion, which were formerly procured by agents established at Cadiz, Lisbon, and all the seaports of Spain; the United States will become the depot of the bullion plundered or extracted from South America. How far these considerations may effect us with other nations, is not easy to anticipate.—Aurora.

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