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 for 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. Cutbert 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 Strader's road, four miles east of Lexington, on a credit of twelve months—bond, bearing interest from the date with good security, will be required. The large valuable stock of HORSES, consisting of brood mares and saddle horses, brood mares with foals, and young geldings and flies, from three 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. Henry. 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, 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 & 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 5 rooms & a pass. gen. 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.
N. B. The land is clear of all encumbrance—title good—a general warranty deed will be made. The purchaser, at his option, can accommodate with the CROP in the ground, of wheat, oat, corn, hay, flax, and a considerable quantity of hemp seed, new in cultivation. Patent Hemp & Flax breaking machine. THE subscribers have purchased the right for the state of Kentucky of Thomas Colbourn'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 both 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. 14
HAVING been called upon to state our opinion of a machine for breaking hemp and flax, which we saw in operation on Mr. Maddox Fisher's farm, we hesitate not to declare that we view it as an important acquisition to our state, and therefore recommend it to the attention of every farmer who cultivates either hemp or flax. The construction of the machine is simple and does not appear likely to get out of order. We suppose that one of those machines having two breaks and moved with ease by one horse, might be built for about 30 or 40$. We have no hesitation in stating that hemp may be broken in much greater quantities with the same labour, and with ease to the hands employed, and that much delay, severe labour, and considerable expense might be saved to hemp raisers by the erection of these machines. T. T. Barr, Wm. W. Worley, C. Cole, Bushrod Boswell, Robert R. Barr. Lexington, April 8th, 1809.
Broke off from a Boy, ABOUT two miles from the mouth of Hickman's Creek, in Jessamine county, on the 3rd of July last, a BROWN BAY MARE, five or six years old, about fifteen hands high, one foot white and branded Br on her near shoulder. Whoever will deliver the above mare to me in Bairdstown, Dennis Brashear, in Danville or T. & R. Barr in Lexington, or will give information where she is to be had, shall receive a liberal reward from Walter Brashear. Bairdstown, August, 1808.

COMMUNICATION.
Scheme of a National Bank.--Let an act of Congress pass, establishing one general and national bank, and assuming the stock of all private banks, with their capital and debts due.
Let the national bank establish as many branches as may be necessary to supply public wants throughout the several states.
Let the stockholders first draw 6 per cent. and then half the surplus, not exceeding 3 per cent.--the remaining surplus to go to the use to go to the use of government.
The directors to be appointed, one fourth by the president, and the rest elected by stockholders within the states.
Every deposit of cash to draw 3 per cent. interest, whether it be private or public property, with a privilege to take stock at the end of one year, at a price to be fixed at the preceding annual term by congress, and the profits of the sale of new stock to go to the use of government.
[Minor details omitted.]
The benefits arising out of such an establishment are many and important. In the first place an interest of perhaps 3 per cent. on 100,000,000 of dollars, would go to the national treasury, or 3,000,000 dollars per annum. In the next place, the string of inconveniences arising from having so many different kinds of paper in circulation as there are banks, would be avoided, whilst the alarms of one bank suffering a ruin from others would cease, and all doubts about the safety and security of bank paper would be forgotten, and this paper become the entire medium, giving stability to government finances, and attachment to monied interests. Nor is it of small importance to bring this subject within the grasp of the general government, if only to prevent the abuse into which it will surely run from the encroachment of banking institutions, from rival states, towns, and persons carrying the banking business to excess, and from being more difficult to detect counterfeits where the kinds of paper medium are so numerous and various.
Three millions annually to the treasury, with the other public and private advantages being of serious concern to the nation--it remains to enquire what are the objections to it. Will the present stockholders refuse to surrender their charters and blend their interests in hodge-podge?
Without entering into the inducements which stockholders would find in a general amalgamation of bank stock under the following influence of government--I shall consider the power of congress to force them to acquiesce or cease to be stockholders; their choice would therefore be the result of necessity, or a choice of the lesser evil, which, if not the most pleasant, is always the most sure ground to go upon.
It is well known that before and during the revolution, bills of credit were emitted by the states and by congress, solely for public benefit, and no such things as banks suffered. These bills of credit supported the state and general governments, and would have supported the war, but for the excesses of the emissions, which reduced its value, and finally sunk into no value, which, tho' not without its advantages to the public, fell very heavy on the monied interest. That, at the formation of the general constitution for the union, it was thought prudent to take from the states the right to issue bills of credit, in order to prevent such another catastrophe, hence, we find it provided in section 10, article 1, "No state shall coin money; emit bills of credit," &c. Here then it is clearly unconstitutional for a state to emit bills of credit--and by inference of found policy what cannot be done directly, cannot indirectly. It therefore only remains to examine if a bank note be a bill of credit, to determine whether the charters granted to the banking companies by the state are valid. To try this question, suppose the states to issue a paper currency in the words of a bank note, would such paper be constitutional? As this question is answered, it will follow either that the charters are void, or the states have themselves thrown a very important interest from the people into the hands of a monied few, and which indirectly violates the provisions of the state constitutions, which declares that all laws shall be equal, and yet suffers these chartered stockholders to draw 8 to 12 per cent. while other laws forbid more than 6, under the penalty of forfeiture and fine.
I cannot however think it necessary to consume time in proving what must be too clear to need proof; that a bank note, or any piece of paper purporting, that the bearer shall receive the nominal amount is a bill of credit, no matter what the words are--or that what a state cannot do in its capacity as a state, it cannot do by third persons, and consequently that every charter granted is unconstitutional and void.
It then follows to enquire if such is the case, can congress grant a charter, and ought congress to do it?
The constitution has no where given, in express language, the power to emit bills of credit. But it has given impliedly all the powers which the states are debarred from using, and expressly the power to provide for the general welfare; to borrow money; to coin money; to punish counterfeiting, &c. Although it is clear the right of congress is better than the right of the states, yet if a doubt existed, there is no doubt but an amendment might be had to give the power expressly. Because it is for the general and particular welfare that banking should go on--and it is an inalienable right to give corporate associations exclusive privileges at the expense of the people.
The sum which government could raise in this way would be adequate to build a navy; to fortify the union; canal and turnpike the union, or give general education to the poor. Shall then these very important national benefits all be neglected, or be sunk at the footstool of a monied aristocracy, already too proud, and who keep their property beyond taxation, and themselves most out of the way of public service?
In the London Morning Chronicle, of May 23, is published an account of a very large dinner at the Crown and Anchor Tavern the day preceding, of the friends of Parliamentary Reform. Sir Francis Burdett was in the chair. Mr. Wardle, the member of Parliament who conducted the inquiry into the conduct of the Duke of York, was present and treated with the most marked attention. Major Cartwright, one of the most respectable and intelligent of English reformers, after a short speech proposed the following resolutions:
Resolved 1. That it is the grand principle of the constitution; that the people may,
shall have a share in the government, by a just representation in parliament."
2. That the long duration of parliament greatly facilitates the corruption of the members, and removes that wholesome check or controul on their conduct, a frequent recourse to the opinion of their constituents.
3. That in a petition presented to the house of commons on the 6th of May 1793, it was offered to be proved at the bar, that 154 individuals did, by their own authority, appoint or procure the return of 307 members of the house (exclusive of those from Scotland) "who were thus enabled to decide all questions in the name of the whole people of Great Britain."
4. That this meeting believes individual patronage in Boroughs has increased since the year 1793--that the representation of Scotland is extremely influenced and unfree--that there are great defects in that of Ireland--and that in the English Boroughs called open, the returns are for the most part obtained for money; wherefore, upon the whole, it is the opinion of this meeting that a great majority of the members of the commons house, are so returned that the nation is not constitutionally represented; while yet it is taxed to support an expenditure of seventy millions sterling a year.
5. That in the act (commonly called the act of settlement) which placed the house of Brunswick on the throne of these realms, it was asserted and recognised as the constitutional principle, that no person who "has an office or place of profit under the king, or receives a pension from the crown, shall be capable of serving as a member of the house of commons."
6. That it appears by a report laid on the table of the house of commons in June last that 78 members are in the regular receipt under the crown of 178,995 1/2 a year.
7. That in 1782 it was declared by Mr. Pitt in the house of commons, that "seven or eight members of that house were sent there by the Nabob of Arcot, and that a foreign state in enmity to this country, might procure a party to act for it under the mask and character of members of that house."
8. That such a state of representation is a national grievance.
9. That in every department of the State into which inquiry has been made, scandalous corruptions and abuses have been detected.
10. That the exclusion of the public voice from all influence in, and the consequent corruption of, the governments of the continental states, have been the causes of their subjugation.
11. That so long as the people shall not be fairly represented, corruption will increase; our debts and taxes will accumulate; our resources will be depressed; and the country deprived of its best defence against foreign foes.
12. That to remedy the great and glaring evils of which we complain, it is not necessary to have recourse to theoretical speculations, or dangerous experiments in government, but to the principles handed down to us by the wisdom and virtue of our forefathers.
13. That the remedy is to be found, and to be found only, in a full representation of the people in the commons House of parliament; a remedy equally necessary to the safety of the throne, and the happiness and independence of the country.
14. That we therefore recommend to every town, city, and county to take the state of the representation into consideration, and urgently, but temperately apply to parliament to adopt such measures as shall secure to the nation the reality and uses of representation.
The resolutions were seconded by Mr. Maddocks the member for Boston, and carried. If these resolutions have met the eye of any man in America, who from any cause whatever has been induced to think favorably of the government of England, we pray him to turn back, to re-read and consider their importance; let him compare that government of debts, taxes, misrepresentation and corruption which they exhibit, with the government under which he lives, and he will find abundant cause for self-congratulation and national pride.
The whole proceedings at the Crown and Anchor, on the first of May, are marked with a more determined character and bespeak a loftier hope of success, than any thing of the kind which has occurred in Great Britain for many years.

From Bell's Weekly Messenger. On the cause and probable result of the AUSTRIAN WAR.
It is not as yet precisely ascertained whether hostilities have commenced between France and Austria. This point, however, is comparatively of very little importance. Whether the blow has been already struck, or is in momentary preparation, is of very little consequence. The hostile disposition is every thing. It is stated in a paper considered almost as official, that the French armies have been gradually surrounding the Austrian frontier, and have taken positions which could have no other object than Austria. The author, or at least the reputed author of this important paper, is Mr. Gentz, a name which Europe has learned to revere, and which posterity will place in the first rank of the detenders of Europe. It would be injustice to pass over such a name, with the mere indifference of a cursory mention. If Prussia had timely listened to the warning of Gentz, as the British nation and government did to Burke, Prussia might still have been in the list of nations.
Be the point of fact, therefore, as it will be, the actual commencement of hostilities, what it may, so much seems to us beyond any possibility of doubt--that Austria will be called upon either instantly to disarm--instantly to reduce herself to a situation which her weakness will be a security for her submission--or to come to the last appeal of nations. France is in a condition which renders her the mistress of the Austrian fate. If Austria be allowed to collect, to discipline, to form her military system, and revive her ancient courage, she might in time become a more equal match for the French--She might bring that into hazard, which in the present situation is certain--She might fight with the hopes of victory, and the fair expectation of deliverance; under her present circumstances, her chance is so very unequal as to render it almost folly to reckon upon it. Such is the question of policy as it lies between France and Austria. Austria is rising too rapidly. France must interpose whilst it is yet in her power. She must reduce her or destroy her.
The conquests of nations have seldom been effected at one blow. The conqueror himself is usually too crippled by the necessary effort of his first victories, to follow them up with the complete annihilation of his enemy. In human affairs, moreover, the common feeling and common reason of mankind, require at least the show of moderation. Upon these principles it will be found in history that there are very rare instances of nations having been subdued by one war. The most ambitious conquerors have found it necessary to grant their enemies and themselves an interval of breathing time. Their great victories are so many shocks given to the tree. They then leave it, secure of having done so much of their work as to render what remains of easy accomplishment. Such was the progress of the Roman conquest. The Carthaginians were first humbled, then disarmed, and lastly annihilated. Each gradation had its separate war.
We would apply this example almost literally. France gave her peace in the late war, because, in having so fundamentally shaken her, France for that time had done enough. Her master root was broken asunder at Austerlitz--She was left hanging only by her minor fibres--A good tug was only wanting to bring her Imperial trunk to the ground. France, therefore, having thus secured her was willing enough to pass her for a short interval--France had other objects, and Austria was suffered to exist. France in this practice, acted in the manner of the South American hunters in their chase of the wild herds. Their efforts are directed only to break the legs of their individual game, after which they leave them, and follow the herd.
Austria, by the dint of an incomparable natural energy, and more particularly by the extraordinary abilities of the archduke Charles, was upon the point of recovery from her fall--Her citizens rallied around a paternal government, her armies were filled and under the impulse of a general patriotism her courage began to be re-animated. Her failure was in good part imputable to the comparative inferiority of her military system, and to an obstinate perseverance in that system, when circumstances, and a new form of war, called for a fundamental change. The archduke Charles was the only man in the empire whose popular reputation, and acknowledged ability, were sufficient to produce an instantaneous change, to weave an army of old officers and soldiers from a discipline endeared to them by long habit, and by the memory of former victories. But hitherto the archduke Charles was the object of the narrow jealousies of a German court. The court however, at length became wise by experience, and the archduke Charles recovered his just station. He took the army in hand at the conclusion of the last Austrian war, and since that time has been unwearied in his efforts to give it a system of organization more suited to the modern practice.
The French emperor has seen these efforts with a very natural jealousy, but circumstances have hitherto occurred which have controuled even the French chief. The Austrian people and government have very naturally conceived new confidence from seeing the progressive state of their military amelioration, and the same circumstances which have controuled the French emperor, have confirmed and animated the Austrians.
The events to which we allude are the war in Spain, and the known unstable disposition of the emperor Alexander. The insurrection in Spain (we so call it not from any disrespect to the cause, but because it is now generally so termed) has been most fatal over all Europe, and more particularly over the English ministry, who seem to have infused their infatuation into Austria. The English ministry, with a most perfect ignorance of the Spanish character, with a most thorough oblivion of the insurmountable disproportion of force between the French and Spaniards, hailed the Spanish insurrection as an event, which promised not the mere deliverance of Spain, but the confusion and subjugation of France. The French emperor was not only to be hunted across the Pyrenees, but across the Alps, and thence from Naples into the sea. The madness of lord Castlereagh, for such it was, and is, was caught by the Austrian ministry, and the thing will not admit a doubt, but that under these unhappy expectations Austria exhibited something of a disposition which is about to lead to an attack from France. The delusion perhaps happily, vanished before her conduct could become less equivocal. It was enough however, for France and the jealous and ambitious chief, that her conduct was equivocal--his jealousy has now an actual object, and Austria is at least rated amongst those powers who are hostile inclined, and only wait an opportunity of action.
The Spanish insurrection was unfortunately never sufficiently strong to draw off any considerable portion of the French armies. When the French emperor, therefore, moved into Spain, he acted with that prudence which fatally for Europe has always characterized him. He marched an army to Germany as well as into Spain. With a total disregard of all manifestoes, and diplomatic remonstrances, he instantly as it were surrounded Austria, and took positions, by which he
necessarily hung upon her operations. From that moment, Austria considered herself, and very wisely, as actually on the verge of a war, and from that moment till the present each has anxiously watched the other. The hostile mind, if only broken from its vent, will scarcely be repressed.
It now remains to say a few words as to the probable result.
Upon this subject, there are two important paragraphs in the paper to which we have alluded, as written by Mr. Gentz. The first respects the weakness of Austria; the latter the strength of France. It must be taken into consideration however, that this representation of the Austrian weakness is made by a French journalist. It is certainly therefore, much exaggerated, but with due allowance may lead to some facts.
The peace of Presburg lays the writer, has left Austria without a cannon, without muskets and ammunition, and it is not without money that she has been able to replenish her arsenals. Her veteran soldiers no longer exist, new soldiers must be formed, and the Austrian peasants have little flexibility or aptitude, that they must be two years before they can load a gun, or turn to the right and left. For want of horses, men are obliged already to work in the fields. A cavalry cannot be formed in less than fifteen years. And as to the insurrections and levies en masse, what a wretched instrument are they of national defence.
Upon the subject of the French strength the passage runs thus:--
"Independently of the great army, there are 150,000 French troops in Germany, 130,000 in Italy, and 100,000 men of the confederation of the Rhine."
There is certainly too much truth in this comparative statement. There cannot be a doubt but that France can bring nearly three hundred thousand men into the field, and that Austria under her former losses of territory and population cannot bring half that number. To say all in a word, it is only to request our readers to give serious attention to the following brief circumstances.
In former wars, Austria had a line of fortified cities on the Rhine and the Danube, and one or two campaigns were necessarily exhausted in their siege or blockade.
In the impending war, Austria has not one fortified city, nor one line or frontier of defence. She must fight, like the troops of Darius, on a plain, and if defeated, is destroyed. There is nothing between the Rhine and Vienna. France in the event of defeat is safe in her fortified cities.
Austria in the event of defeat is totally without place of refuge or muster. She is in the situation of Prussia. One battle must decide every thing.
We do not feel inclined to continue this subject. Every human chance is against Austria.
PHILADELPHIA, June 28.
A letter from an American gentleman in Amsterdam, dated April 30th, says, "We have a report which is generally believed, of a great battle fought on the 19th and 20th, between Bonaparte and the Archduke Charles, in which the latter was totally defeated, with the loss of 25,000 prisoners, 100 pieces of cannon, &c. The particulars are impatiently expected. Austria is completely destroyed."
From the New York Gazette, June 22.
Yesterday the ship Virginia, capt. Crockatt, arrived here in ballast, from Amsterdam. It will be seen by our translations from an Amsterdam paper of the 1st of May, that there has been a severe battle between the Archduke Charles and the French Emperor. The various accounts of this battle disagree in particulars. One account states, that Bonaparte took 30,000 prisoners, 20 generals, &c. another that he took 50,000 prisoners. But the most improbable story is, (and so they all carry improbability with them) that which we have from captain Crockatt, who, no doubt, heard such a report on the eve of his sailing. It was, that on the 11th day of the battle, Bonaparte expected to be defeated, and retreated merely to gain a more advantageous position--having obtained this position, he turned upon the Archduke Charles, and after a bloody battle, utterly took and destroyed the whole of the Austrian army--60,000 prisoners, 26 generals, all their cannon, colors, ammunition, &c. fell into his hands. The number of Austrians left dead on the field, was not exactly known; the loss of the French, as usual, was very trifling. It was however confessed by the French themselves, that this victory had not decided the fate of Austria. The Archduke John was at the head of 80,000 troops, advancing to co-operate with his brother Charles.
The Emperor of Austria, it was reported, had returned to Vienna, from the Army.
We leave these reports to be digested by our readers. The translations from the Dutch papers will be considered more probable.
It was stated in a letter from France received at Amsterdam, that Mr. Adm. C. our minister at Paris, was to return to America in the Mentor.
No further relaxation had taken place in the French decrees. The ship Virginia brings out dispatches for government, supposed to be in answer to those which went out in the Mentor to Mr. Armstrong at Paris.
A letter from Amsterdam of the 29th of April, to a respectable house in this city, says--"I have just time to inform you that official accounts are just received of the defeat of the Austrians on the Danau: 25,000 killed, 10,000 prisoners, and 100 pieces of cannon taken by the French."
The President's Proclamation, announcing the restoration of intercourse, between this country and Great Britain was received at Faya previous to the sailing of the Eagle. It was received most welcome.

VIENNA, April 12.--It is expected that the Emperor will return here about the 20th of this month, from the army. The prince of Schwarzenburg, will leave his post as minister at the court of St. Petersburg, and take a command in the army. One of our ministers at another court, is to be appointed in his place.
The English Charge de Affaires, Stewart, will await here the arrival of an Ambassador from his country.
The advanced corps of the Austrian army, with which there are some battalions of militia, called free corps, are now commanded by the renowned Prince John of Lichtenstein, one of the richest noblemen at our Court.
In Boemia they are raising a free corps, amounting to about 10,000 men.
NURMBERG, April 21.--Yesterday a detachment of Austrian light troops, commanded by Major Maager, entered this town, and were followed by officers of the same nation. These troops are a part of the light Bohemian corps.
AUGSBURG, April 21.--The day before yesterday, a number of troops marched through here. The post from Munich, has not arrived since the Austrians took possession of that city. A strong cannonade was heard in the direction of Freyingen. The fear of war is drawing towards the borders of Donau. As yet we have no official account of the different skirmishes. In a short time a decisive battle must take place.
The scene of the recent action between France and Austria, was in Bavaria; in the neighborhood of Rohr, on the western or left side of the river Kammlach, about 10 miles directly east of Ulm, about the same distance west of Augsburg, and nine miles from Guntzburg on the Danube. The town of Rohr is situated in a populous country, and its topography was familiar to the troops under Ney and Davoust, in the Ulm and Austerlitz campaign.
The Kammlach is but a small river, its whole course from its source in the heights which separate it from the valley of Kempfen to its confluence with the Mindel near Kontzenburg, not exceeding 40 miles; at Kontzenburg it joins the Mindel, about 8 miles from the Danube; a river somewhat more capacious, which rises in the fame mountains, is the Guntz, which runs nearly parallel with the Kammlach, at no place more than four or 5 miles apart; this river falls, after a course of about 54 miles into the Danube, at Guntzburg, about 15 miles below Ulm. The country in that neighborhood is well adapted to display military talents, and every species of troops may be brought into action; the country is particularly adapted to various and multiplied manoeuvres, presenting at every instant new positions.

FROM SPAIN.
Capt. Woodbury has arrived at Beverly from Cadiz, which he left the 21st April. He informs, that the French army was reported to be still laying about 18 leagues from Seville, attempting nothing; but waiting reinforcements: That accommodations had been ordered for the governing Junta at Cadiz, in case they should be compelled to quit Seville: That Joseph Bonaparte returned to Madrid for France, the 5th of April: That in Cadiz they discovered no disposition to give up the Patriot cause: That they represented their armies as numerous and strong; but that amidst the thousands of rumours, it was impossible exactly to ascertain the truth.
Our accounts from France no otherwise corroborate this, than that Bonaparte had declared the Spaniards to be unworthy his brother as their king, and that he should treat Spain as a conquered province.

LATE FROM PORTUGAL.
Capt. O'Connor, who arrived here yesterday, informs, that on the 16th of May, a Portuguese brig arrived at Madeira direct from Lisbon, in the remarkable short passage of 4 days, having left that place on the 12th. This brig came out with despatches.

but nothing more had transpired, than that Lisbon had been well fortified, and that the inhabitants were under no apprehensions of being disturbed by the entry of French troops. A vast number of gun-boats and vessels of a light draught of water had been sent up the Tagus, to prevent the passage of the French army; which, with other defensive obstructions, rendered the place safe for the present.
Since writing the above, a respectable merchant of this city handed us a letter of which the following is a copy:—It is from a correct source.
“MADRID, May 16, 1809. “Sir,—By a vessel arrived from Lisbon yesterday in 3 days, we learn that they were all in the highest spirits, and hopes of their success—that Sir Arthur Wellesley had marched at the head of a brave army that were encamped at Porto—they offered to capitulate, but Sir Arthur refused to come to their terms. Therefore, they have no other remedy left, but to surrender to Sir Arthur Wellesley's terms, as they had but three days provisions left. They will not meet with that lenity experienced at the battle of Vimiera (or Cintra). The English armies of Sir Arthur and Gen. Beresford were received at Coimbra, and the other towns, with every demonstration of joy. Troops and warlike stores were constantly arriving from England.”

FOURTH OF JULY.
The citizens of Lexington celebrated the anniversary of American Independence with their accustomed enthusiasm. The day was ushered in by the discharge of seventeen cannon. At eight o'clock, the Lexington troop of cavalry, commanded by captain Titford, the company of light infantry, commanded by captain Bodley, and an uniform company of infantry of the line, commanded by captain Hart, paraded on the public square, & marched about a mile out of town, for the purpose of escorting in the Governor, who had previously accepted of an invitation to spend the day with his fellow citizens of Lexington. Having performed this duty, the troops were dismissed until 12 o'clock; when they again paraded on the public square, joined by captain Hudson's company of riflemen, the whole commanded by Col. George Trotter & Maj. John Wyatt, from whence they marched out, together with a large concourse of citizens, to Mr. Maxwell's Spring, for the purpose of partaking of a dinner prepared for the occasion, by Mr. Coons. Gen. Robert Todd was appointed President, and Capt. John Fowler Vice-President. Previous to taking their seats at the table, the company were addressed in a short speech, by J. H. Davies, esq. whose observations were confined to the events which produced the present festival, without any remarks on party politics. After dinner, the subjoined toasts were drank, accompanied by a discharge of small arms, and repeated bursts of applause. The military and the citizens then marched into town in the most perfect good order; and the different companies having fired a feu de joie, in honour of the day, were dismissed. A night there was an elegant ball at the Kentucky Hotel, attended by a brilliant collection of the Lexington Fair, who appeared to vie with the gentlemen in their exertions to do honour to this auspicious day. We cannot close this article without doing justice to Capt. Banks, by noticing the very handsome manner in which he provided the entertainment of the evening. It gave us pleasure on this occasion to observe a considerable number of our citizens clad in domestic manufactures. Several public and private entertainments were given in the neighbourhood.
1. The day we celebrate, may it be handed from fathers to their sons with joy, to the end of time.
2. The president of the United States, a worthy Republican, who will, we hope, oblige tyrants, to do justice to the United States.
3. Our late president Jefferson, may his highly merited services be remembered with gratitude, and may those who calumniate him, be troubled with a guilty conscience.
4. The memory of Genl. Washington, the favour of his country.
5. The memory of Doctor Franklin.
6. The memory of the Whigs of '76, who supported and fell in support of the Liberty at America.
7. Friendship without interest, and Irish hospitality without deceit.
8. The mechanisms of the United States, may their manufactures meet with encouragement, and excel those of Europe.
9. May the agricultural and mercantile interest be linked together.
10. May the Pickeringites, who would disorganize or violate the laws of the United States, be converted, or choked with good hemp cordage.
11. Arts and sciences, may they flourish in all parts of the world, and may tyranny, superstition and idolatry, vanish like a vapor.
12. Govr. Charles Scott, a brave soldier, who supported the liberty of his country, from the year '76, until the present time—he merits well of his country.
13. May the single be married, and the married happy.
14. May virtue in all ranks be supported and encouraged, and vice discouraged and punished.
15. Unanimity to our councils in Congress and may the Yankee and other Tories in America, speedily have a passage over the river Styx.
16. The army of the Union, may they when called into action follow the example of our Fathers of 1776.
17. The navy of the United States, if ample satisfaction is not made by Britain for the insult on the Chesapeake, our brave tars we hope will follow the example of Paul Jones.
18. The judiciary of the U. S.—not as it is, but as it ought to be—uninfluenced by party, a shield to good men, and a terror to evil doers—no longer the refuge of traitors or embargo breakers.—3 cheers.
19. Benjamin Howard and the Representatives in Congress who opposed the repeal of the embargo act—they deserve the thanks of their country.—6 cheers.
20. The plough—the spindle and the loom—what the sword of the revolution achieved, it remains for them to perpetuate, national independence.—9 cheers.

COMMUNICATED.
On the fourth of July, 1809, a respectable portion of the inhabitants of Jessamine county, convened at Nicholasville, to celebrate the day of their independence, and as a testimony of their gratitude to the companies of Riflemen, commanded by Captains Richard Hightower and James C. Price, who volunteered their services in defence of their country's rights and honour, under the late requisition of the President.
The company repaired to a table sumptuously furnished, where an appropriate address was delivered to them by Samuel H. Woodson. Colonel Joseph Crockett was unanimously chosen president, and Archibald Logan vice president, and the following toasts were drank, accompanied with the plaudits of the people.
1. The day we celebrate—may its remembrance be cherished by every American.
2. The memory of General George Washington—the Hero of America, the Father of his Country, and Friend of Liberty.
3. Benjamin Franklin—the boat of America: a character without blemish.
4. Thomas Jefferson—the sage and patriot, an ornament to human nature—Judge of the tree by its fruit.
5. The President of the United States—we hope he will do his duty without a vote of approbation.
6. The Union—our political ark.
7. The embargo—Co-adjutors were dignified in its adoption, pull-nimous in its repeal.
8. The American flag—why is it lowered when it meets an Englishman?
9. The rights of neutrals—Open hostility preferred to war in disguise.

11. Gen. Charles Scott—an old revolutionary soldier, a friend to his country.
12. The Militia of the United States—rely upon their valour and patriotism—arm them, and we defy the powers of the world.
13. Unanimity and moderation in our councils, with a mutual toleration of opinion.
14. The U. States of America, individually and collectively—may the limits of their powers be sacredly observed.
15. The liberty of speech, and of the press—may they ever remain unimpaired.
16. Domestic manufactures—may they meet the patronage of our government.
17. The high seas, national property—a coalition of the world against that power who would assume the right of exclusive enjoyment.
18. Peace with all nations—Death in preference to dishonor.
19. The American fair,—the cement of society—may they ever emulate each other in domestic manufactures.
Volunteer by Archibald Logan.

On Tuesday last, a number of gentlemen and ladies almost entirely clad in beautiful home-spun, collected at the Cave Spring, near Versailles, to celebrate the anniversary of our independence.—A fight more desirable has never been seen amongst us, each seemed to vie with the other in their uniform. About 1 o'clock the company sat down to a bountiful repast. Capt. S. P. Menzies, President, and Dr. L. Marshall, Vice President. After which the following toasts were drank with great enthusiastic zeal, and the company retired to a ball at capt. Bohannon's.
