2 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. Benton. 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.
2 NATHANIEL PRENTISS MAKES Boots & Shoes, in the house lately occupied by Messrs. Fishell & Gallatin, nearly opposite Mr. Bradford's office, in such a manner as makes it the interest of the public to give him a portion of their patronage.

2 A FRESH SUPPLY OF LEE AND SON'S PATENT & FAMILY MEDICINES, RECEIVED AND FOR SALE BY SCOTT, TROTTER & CO. LEXINGTON. Lee's Worm-Destroying Lozenges. This medicine is superior to any ever offered to the public, being innocent and mild, certain and efficacious in its operations. Should no worms exist in the body, it will, without pain or griping, clear the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. For the prevention and cure of bilious and malignant fevers, is recommended. Lee's Anti-Bilious Pills, Prepared by Richard Lee & Son, Baltimore. Persons willing to purchase this valuable medicine, are requested to be particular in enquiring for LEE's anti-bilious pills, put up in wooden boxes, having on the outside wrapper, the signature of Richard Lee and Son—this is necessary, as there are pills of the same name. The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off ferulent bile, and prevent morbid secretions—restore and amend the appetite—produce a fresh peristalsis, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequence—a dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual coffee, tea, snuff and the stomach, and severe head ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate. They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman. Lee's Elixir, A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Catarrhs, Asthma, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumption. To parents who may have children affected with the Whooping Cough—This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time, entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it. Lee's Genuine Essence and Extract of Mustard. A safe and effectual remedy for acute and chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Palsy, Lumbago, Numbness, White Swelling, Chilblains and Sprains, Bruises, Pains in the Face and Neck, &c. Lee's Grand Restorative proves by long experience to be unequalled in the cure of Nervous Disorders, Consumption, Lowliness of Spirits, Inward Weakness, &c. Twenty thousand cures have been performed by Lee's Sovereign Ointment for the Itch which is warranted an infallible remedy by one application, without mercury or any other pernicious ingredients, being entirely a vegetable preparation. Ague and Fever Drops, for the cure of Agues, Remittent and Intermitent Fever. Persian Lotion, celebrated for the cure of Ringworms, Tettars, and all Eruptions of the skin, rendering it soft and smooth. Lee's Genuine Eye-Water, an effectual remedy for all diseases of the Eyes. Tooth-Ache Drops, which give immediate relief. Lee's Corn Plaister. Damask Lip Salve. Restorative Powder, for the Teeth and Gums. The Anodyne Elixir, for the cure of every kind of Head-Ache. Indian Vegetable Specific, a certain and never-failing cure for Venereal complaints. The mildness of the Vegetable Specific is equal to its surprising efficacy; its operation is so gentle that it is given to Venereal patients in a state of pregnancy, with the utmost safety. WITH the medicine is given a Bill of Directions, and on the outside wrapper, the signature of "R. Lee and Son," if particular attention is not paid to the signature, it is probable that disappointment will be the consequence.
Patent Hemp & Flax breaking Machine. THE subscribers have purchased the right for the state of Kentucky of Messrs. Coohon's Patent for a machine, for breaking hemp and flax. One of those machines is now in operation on Maddox Fisher's farm, near this place, and is found admirably to answer the purpose for which it was intended. A machine with two breaks, is worked by one horse with ease, and requires six hands to attend it. One of the great advantages of this machine is, that it can be attended by women or boys, instead of men, and that a woman or boy can clean double the quantity of hemp or flax, which the most able-bodied man could do in the same time with a common hand-break. A further account of the machine is deemed unnecessary, as it is presumed that those desirous of purchasing rights, will wish to satisfy themselves by seeing it in operation. Individual rights at twenty dollars, or rights for whole counties, may be procured by applying to either of the subscribers.
2 For Sale. SEVERAL likely young NEGROES, for cash or on a short credit, with approved notes in town Enquirer at this office.

MERINO WOOL.
By the latest accounts from England, Merino wool was selling at 26s sterling per pound. The cause of this increase of price is that the intestine war in Spain has so far destroyed the breed of Spanish sheep as to render the wool very scarce. What few of the sheep that remained having been mostly transported to France, England, and perhaps other parts of Europe, it will be some time before they are brought to that perfection in any other country to which they had arrived in Spain previous to the revolution. The farmers of America have now a fair object of competition with any other country, in endeavouring to excel in the breed of sheep, and consequently to command a market for their wool when more shall be raised than is necessary for the consumption of this country; which will not soon happen, however, as the home manufactures in this article are daily increasing. They have every incentive, both of patriotism and interest, to induce them particularly to attend to this object.
SNOW! —A Harkimer (N. Y.) paper of Aug. 10th mentions the extraordinary coldness of the season, and that Snow had fallen for several minutes the preceding day in the adjacent town of Warren.

“True to his charge.” “He comes, the Herald of a noisy world.” “News from all nations lumb’ring at his back.” LEXINGTON, OCTOBER 10, 1809.
TO THE PUBLIC.
THE subscriber having disposed of his printing and book-binding establishment, to Mr. Thomas Smith, takes this method of announcing that event to his friends and the public in general. In determining on this measure, he has consulted his own interest. For seven years past he has been a faithful servant to the public; during which time he has endeavoured to discharge his editorial duties with advantage to them and himself. He has endeavoured to avoid wounding the feelings of those who have differed from him on national politics; at the same time, never withholding his own sentiments on those subjects. In short, he has endeavoured to publish an impartial, useful Gazette. How far he may have succeeded in those attempts, is not for him to say; but the uniform extensive patronage he has received, conceives the best criterion to form an opinion—and this has been truly flattering; nor does he regret any thing more than the necessity for the measure he has taken. But the present low prices of printing, rendered it necessary that every cent earned, should be received—this has not been the case, and he yielded to the imperious calls of creditors. From his knowledge of Mr. Smith, the subscriber feels no hesitation in recommending him to the notice of the public, as a young gentleman of industry and correct deportment; and with the change of Editors which is about to take place, he has no doubt but the patrons of the Gazette will be entirely pleased.
The Kentucky Gazette will continue to be forwarded to subscribers, unless arrearages are paid and the contrary directed, until the first day of January, and charged to that day, at which time the entire interest of the subscriber will determine, as it does to advertisements this day. All future insertions will of course be payable to his successor.
The subscriber will now devote a short time to the settlement of his accounts. All those indebted to him will therefore see the necessity of discharging their accounts immediately; and those to whom he is indebted will present their accounts for payment. DANIEL BRADFORD.
HAVING purchased the Establishment of the KENTUCKY GAZETTE of Mr. Daniel Bradford, the subscriber wishes to inform the public that it will be continued on the same principles by which it has been governed, when under the direction of Mr. B. The subscriber does not wish to raise the expectations of the public, by making ostentatious promises of what he intends to do. He will only observe that no exertion shall be wanting to render the Kentucky Gazette deserving a continuance of the liberal patronage which it received when in possession of its former proprietor. He wishes to be judged by his works only; and whenever he shall be found wanting in his duty, it will be in the power of the public to apply the proper corrective.
Those subscribers who do not wish to transfer their patronage to the present proprietor will be so good as to forward an intimation to that effect before the first of January next.
THOMAS SMITH. September 26, 1809.
HON: F. J. JACKSON.
So much has been said of this great personage, that we had conceived it almost unnecessary to add any thing farther: but according to the accounts we have, the reception which he has met with, cannot be very flattering to his vanity or his hopes. At Norfolk, where he first landed his efficacy, was burnt by some of the inhabitants. At Annapolis, his company was shunned by all the gentlemen of the place—and thirteen seamen deserted from the frigate L'Africaine, in which he came. At Baltimore seven of these deserters were apprehended, but on being taken before Judge Scott, were liberated, amidst the acclamations of hundreds. He has now reached Washington City, which place it is said he entered with an armed hunderbuss escort. The Secretary of state was the only head of department he found there, with whom he had an interview, and exhibited his letters of credence &c. Our last accounts state, that nothing had transpired of the nature of the communication between them; but that it was confidently said, that he brings no new powers with him—he comes simply as the successor of Mr. Erskine—having nothing new to say as to the orders in council—and no instructions whatever relative to Mr. Erskine's negotiation.
The manner in which the seamen above alluded to, affected their escape, is worth noticing, as it shows their readiness to risk their lives when even a chance offers to regain their liberty. Two seamen had deserted the first time the frigate's boat went ashore. A sharp lookout was constantly kept to prevent others from following their example. The boat coming a second time ashore to bring some of the officers to dine with the envoy, one of them returned with the boat to prevent the desertion of its crew. On reaching the frigate, the boats crew very politely handed the officer up, and immediately put about boat and made for the shore. A shower of musketry was hailed upon them until they got out of its reach, and then the stern chaser, the only gun that could be brought to bear, was fired at them several times, but without effect, altho' one ball struck close by the boat. The crew, eleven in number, reached the land, left the boat, took to flight, and got safe off.
Their danger, however, was not yet over. The sheriff of Baltimore, on receiving a request from the British consul, dogged them from place to place, and at last apprehended seven of them. The citizens assembled to prevent their being hurried on board the frigate to certain death; and a writ of habeas corpus was obtained and the seamen brought before Judge Scott, who, (after hearing counsel on the
part of the British and also in behalf of the prisoners) finding that the commitment had been in every respect illegal, and that no evidence was adduced to prove their being British subjects, ordered them to be set at liberty. The British consul was present.
Of the seamen thus enfranchised, some were Americans; and they informed, that six American citizens who had been impressed into the British service, were yet on board the L'Africaine frigate. The names of the six they stated to be, Edward Swaine, John Ferguson, George Wilson, John Butler, John Williamson, Ambrose Cruse—the three last, black men.
AUSTRIAN BULLETIN.
Under the date of Berlin July 10, is published by the Austrian embassy, an official bulletin, which details the battle of Wagram. It acknowledges that the Austrians suffered great losses and were compelled to retreat. It also states that the Archduke Charles made 6000 prisoners and took 12 pieces of cannon. The Austrian head quarters are not mentioned in the bulletin.
FRENCH BULLETINS.
The 25th bulletin, Wolkersdorff, July 9, is replete with additional details of the battle of Wagram. It states the number of Austrians which were wounded and which have since fallen into their hands to be 12,000. On the 8th the duke of Regusa took 900 prisoners at Laa. The emperor of Austria left Znaim at 9 in the morning. This bulletin also states that 12 of the most considerable villages in the beautiful plain of Vienna were consumed during the battle.
The 27th bulletin of the French army is dated at Znaim, July 12. It states that that place surrendered on the 11th of the same month, after an engagement in which the French took 3000 men, 2 standards, and 5 pieces of cannon. The bulletin concludes by giving the armistice which we have already noticed.
The 28th bulletin considers every thing as settled, and is more a geographical sketch, than a statement of hostile movements. It concludes with the following cheering paragraph: “the harvest is very fine and abundant every where. The army is cantoned, in a beautiful country, rich in provisions of all kinds, wine particularly.”
ELECTIONS.
REPUBLICANISM TRIUMPHANT.
A letter from Vermont, dated Bennington, Sept 12, 1809, to a gentleman in Baltimore, states, that from every quarter in that state, JONAS GALUSHE the republican candidate for governor is elected by a majority of more than ONE THOUSAND votes over Tichenor, the present incumbent; that a republican council is elected by a similar majority; and that out of 200 members composing the whole of the representatives, the republicans will have a majority of about FIFTY.
The election in Rhode Island for members of assembly is said to have eventuated in the election of a federal majority of four. At the spring election the majority was between 20 and 30.
The state of Massachusetts is at present embarrassed by several of their numerous banks having stopped payment, and others falling into discredit. The evil is said to be greatly aggravated by the Boston Brokers, who keep several hundred thousand dollars employed in purchasing of notes, making runs upon such banks as are most likely to be affected by them, and when the credit of their notes is funk, purchasing them up. These notes rising and falling in value, at the will of these monied men, they are enabled to make gainful speculations, while the people are greatly harassed and injured by the perplexed state of the circulating medium of the country. There are no less than ten banks in Massachusetts and N. Hampshire which have either wholly or partially stopped payment!
Subscriptions were opened at Washington city, on the 4th ult. for the stock of a bank to be established there; and in the course of a few hours, 36,000 shares, at $40 each were subscribed for, exceeding by 13,000 the number of shares to which to which the subscription is limited.
We notice, with pleasure, that in consequence of the treachery and perfidy of the British government, the governor of Pennsylvania is taking the necessary means to place that state in such a situation as to defend itself, and contribute its full proportion towards the defence of the just rights of the United States, against the attacks of that hostile government.
FROM THE ENQUIRER.
It is curious with what apparent unconcern we learn the fate of multitudes of men and of distant nations. A tooth-ache—a throbbing in the temple—the loss of a puppy, seems really to affect us more, than the deaths of thousands of our distant species, and the fall of remote empires.
In some cases, distance of place seems to have the same tranquilizing effect upon our spirits, as distance of time. We seem to consider those, who are separated from us by oceans and circles of earth, with the same unmoving indifference, as if they belonged “to years beyond the flood,” as if they were buried beneath the oblivious grave of antiquity.
This property of our nature has been noticed, by one of the sweetest as well as the wisest of moral philosophers, Adam Smith, in his “Theory of Moral Sentiments.” “Let us suppose, says he, that the great empire of China with all its myriads of inhabitants, were suddenly swallowed up by an earthquake, and let us consider how a man of humanity in Europe, who had no sort of connection with
that part of the world, would be affected upon receiving intelligence of this dreadful calamity. He would, I imagine, first of all, express very strongly his sorrow for the misfortune of that unhappy people, he would make many melancholy reflections upon the precariousness of human life, and the vanity of all the labors of man, which thus could be annihilated in a moment. He would too, perhaps, if he was a man of speculation, enter into many reasonings concerning the effects which this disaster might produce upon the commerce of Europe and the trade and business of the world in general—and when all this fine philosophy was over, when all these humane sentiments had once fairly expressed, he would pursue his business or his pleasure, take his repose, or his diversion with the same ease and tranquility as if no such accident had happened. The most frivolous disaster which could happen to himself would occasion a more real disturbance. If he was to lose his little finger to-morrow, he would not sleep to night; but provided he never saw them, he will snore with the most profound security over the ruins of a hundred millions of his brethren, and the destruction of that immense multitude seems plainly an object less interesting to him, than this paltry misfortune of his own.” The ingenious writer then goes on to show, how, in spite of this torpor of our passive feelings, the power of conscience, and the moral sense within us, prompts the generous upon all occasions, and the mean upon many, to sacrifice their own interests to the greater interests of others—and why this property of our nature is in many cases a wise dispensation of things—how, by always feeling the sufferings and losses of others, as if they were our own, we should have become “the universal sensitive of pain, the heir of evils, not our own.”
We hear of the most tremendous and bloody battles which have been fought on the banks of the Danube—of the fall of 60,000 Austrians, between the 4th and 8th of July, and no doubt an immense havoc among the French—but most of us, will set down to this day's dinner with an undisturbed appetite, and sleep as snugly on our couches, as if the din of arms had not disturbed for centuries the waves of the Danube. We shall perhaps cry out, “what a bloody battle is this! how much more sanguinary, than any which stands recorded on the blood-stained pages of history!”—but our sympathy will close with our expressions. We shed no tear, we heave no sigh. Our imagination is dissipated among the heaps of courage, or by the width of the Atlantic Ocean. We seem to forget that each of these 600,000 individuals who are thus prematurely struck out of the rolls of existence, has left some one behind him who is now mourning his fall—some sweetheart, some father or mother, some distracted orphan or widow, who is thus bereft of their dearest treasure! It is not on the Danube alone, that Agony and Despair are seen and felt—for in how many towns and cottages of Austria and of France, has death exhibited those monuments of his power, how much happier are we in this blessed country!—But though war be a great evil, it is not the worst of evils! For what are submission and dishonor!
It would be a curious and useful office, for some political arithmetician to sum up the number of men, who have perished within the last twenty years. The wars which have desolated the continent of Europe, the thunders which have swept the surface of the seas, have been fatal beyond example. The aggregate of the slain, if it could be faithfully collected, would astonish and astound the stoutest heart. More have been destroyed, than would be sufficient to people a flourishing empire—and though the invention of gun-powder has no doubt contributed to reduce the proportionate destruction of war, by throwing armies farther from each other, and facilitating the means of retreat—though our present battles, in proportion to the number of combatants, are evidently less murderous, than they were in ancient times, when armies fought principally with the sword, cominus, hand-to-hand —yet it may be safely laid down as an unerring proposition, “that during the last twenty years more human lives have been lost, than during any other period of equal duration.”
If those events were traced to their proper causes, they would be found principally owing to the coalitions of the continent and the mad policy of England. These have compelled France to take up arms in her own defence—to dissipate and to subdue the elements of all future and similar combinations. The necessity, conspiring with the increasing ambition of Napoleon, has led to those destructive transactions, which have blood-stained the history of modern Europe. These coalitions, perhaps, are, for the present, at an end. The power of France will rise triumphant on the continent. The British King has principally made Bonaparte as great as he is. The gold, the intrigue, and the corruption of his ministers, will scarcely hereafter find the materials of a new confederacy. The fate of the western part of the continent is sealed—Germany will soon be subdued, but she will be emancipated from wars, and restored to the tranquility of despotism—and in a short time Europe will not for several years, behold a repetition of the carnage of the last 20 years, unless Russia should be inspired by jealousy, or ambition to dispute the empire of the continent; or unless Napoleon should seek the ashes of his forefathers, and like Alexander the Great, bequeath the new contests, and car-nage to his survivors.
The Turkish crescent fins on the horizon of Europe—the Hellespont will no longer be accessible to the commerce of England, or any power that submits to her tyranny.
Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Malta fall; and that alliance which would have been laughed at as ludicrous, 20 years ago, has taken place—an alliance offensive and defensive between Great Britain and the Algerines and Tunisians. Before this universal revolution closes, we shall not be surprised to see the eagles of Napoleon on the shores of Barbary, rooting out those nests of piracy. There are other more trying and serious events which regard other portions of Europe, which we do not touch now, because we mean to give them a more enlarged discussion on another day. Aurora.
The New York Mercantile Advertiser of Saturday morning says, “by the schr. Fairy, Capt. Henry, from Malta, we learn that the English expedition, fitted out against Naples, after having landed some troops on an island of that bay, and finding they were not likely to be successful, had given up the enterprise, and a part of the fleet had returned to Malta.”
NEW-YORK, Sept. 22.
HAMIT CARAMALLA, the ex-bashaw of Tripoli, has been formerly installed Dey of Derne, and has taken possession of his government. Through the influence of Dr. Davis, agent of the United States, that province was ceded to him and its revenue (12,000 sequins) conferred to him and his heir forever.
We understand (says the National Intelligencer) that a revolution has recently taken place at Algiers, by which the reigning Dey, (originally a Mahometan priest) was deposed & put to death. He was succeeded by one of the favourites of the soldiery, who was placed by the military at the head of the Regency without the occurrence of any sanguinary event, except the strangling of his predecessor. This revolution occurred about the 4th day of March last. The present Dey is represented as a man of considerable abilities for the station, and the unfortunate Iman, whose place he occupies, as having been an imbecile ruler.
PARIS, July 14.
Letters from Genoa and Marseilles mention that the Regency of Algiers, at the instigation of the English, demanded of M. Dubois Tainville, Consul-General of France, payment of an annual tribute—and, upon his refusal, ordered him to be arrested.—A provisional embargo has been in consequence laid on all Algerine ships and property in the ports of France.
The Lexington Jockey Club Races commence on Thursday next, and continue the two succeeding days. We understand several fine horses have entered, and much sport is anticipated by the votaries of the turf.

The green little Shamrock of Ireland.
The following beautiful verses were written by the celebrated Comedian Cherry , and set to music by the famous Shield . They received no small share of applause from the public since its introduction by Webster's Sons in Philadelphia, by that imitable and exquisite songster.
There's a dear little plant that grows in our isle, 'Twas St. Patrick himself sure that set it, And the sun on his labor with pleasure did smile, And with dew from his eyes o'er the brake, It thrives through the bog, thro' the brake, Through the mireland, And he calls it the dear little Shamrock of Ireland. The sweet little Shamrock, the dear little Shamrock, The sweet little, green little, Shamrock of Ireland. This dear little plant still grows in our land, Fresh and fair as the daughters of Erin, Whose smiles can bewitch, whose eyes can command, In each climate that each shall appear in. And shine through the bog, through the brake, Through the mireland, Just like their own dear little Shamrock of Ireland. The sweet little Shamrock, &c.
This dear little plant that springs from our soil, When its three little leaves are extended. Devotes, in one stalk, we together should toil, And, raised by ourselves be befriended. And still through the bog, thro' the brake, Through the mireland, From one root should branch like the Shamrock of Ireland. The sweet little Shamrock, &c. The dear little plant that shoots from our earth Let the hard hand of industry nourish, And live in each heart find its own warm birth, While peace, joy, and plenty shall flourish, And bloom through the bog, thro' the brake, Through the mireland, Just like our own, your dear little Shamrock of Ireland. Your own little Shamrock, your dear little Shamrock, Oh, blessings attend on the sweet little green little Shamrock of Ireland.
ELEGANT EXTRACT.
From an oration delivered at New York, by John I. Irvine, before the Tammany and other societies on the 4th of July. "Erin! Gem of the Ocean. Erin! The land of beauty, of bravery, and enthusiasm! Where an Orra a Fitzgerald perished on the threshold of liberty; where a Tone once waved the beaming sword of patriotism like a berser around his brows. Where an Emmett stood forth dauntless in virtue, who made a Pelax to tremble in the very seat of arbitrary power; who dashed brute violence in the hour of its triumph, who descended into the tomb like a flame, and whose genius shed a blaze of glory round the horrors of his grave. Oh sages! Oh mighty men of battle! Have ye then fallen in vain? Have your groans been wasted in the wind, has your blood sunk forgotten in the earth? No, no! Ireland has numbered your groans; Ireland has recorded your actions; Ireland has received your blood upon her bosom; it shall nourish a future race of heroes, brave as their fathers, more successful. "Like stars of the battle yet set, But enough of your glory remains on each sword To light them to victory yet."
PEDESTRIAN FEAT.
Mr. Howe, who started at four o'clock on Wednesday night to go to Exeter from London, and returning six days, being 146 miles, at the rate of 58 miles a day, arrived near Andover (46 miles) at nine o'clock at night; his longest stoppage had been half an hour at Basingstoke. On the following day he walked 79 miles, and on the third he dined at Exeter, stopped there three hours and returned to Honiton to sleep 16 miles towards London. On the 4th day he reached within nine miles of Salisbury, and slept at a public house near Basingstoke on the fifth night; and he did the other 49 miles comfortably by six o'clock in the evening on the sixth day. The match was for 200 guineas, and Mr. Howe stood half the stake.
FOOT RACE.
A match of a mile, for 1000 guineas took place near Hampton, between capt. Anning (who went 280 yards in the park, a short time since, with wonderful speed) and a man from Exeter by the name of Forbes. The captain ran his adversary the mile for 20 guineas with a by-bet that he did the distance within five miles. He won both bets, he having beat his adversary 200 yards, and completed the mile in four minutes and fifty seconds.
CAPTAIN BARCLAY.
This gentleman yesterday completed his arduous pedestrian undertaking, to walk a thousand miles in a thousand successive hours, at the rate of a mile in each, and every hour. He had until 4 o'clock, p. m. to finish his task, but he performed his last mile in the quarter of an hour after three, with perfect ease and great spirit, amidst an immense concourse of spectators. Captain Barclay had 16,000L. depending upon this undertaking. The aggregate of the bets is supposed to amount to 100,000L. London Print, July 12.

The samples of machines that they have executed in this state evidence that they are masters of their profession; and they flatter themselves that their work will bear a comparison with the manufacture of Manchester. They wish to take two or three apprentices to the business, and will give generous wages to a journeyman Blacksmith. Lexington, August 15, 1809.
