24 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 style. 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 favour 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. Cubbett Banks Lexington, Jan. 1st, 1809.
Great Bargains. PUBLIC SALE. —Will posit vely 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 large valuable stock of HORSES, consisting of work and saddle horses, brood mares with their colts, 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 captain 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 peurege unexceptionable. Also my turf 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 to the state of Kentucky of Thomas Coobon'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. Maddox Fisher, Joseph Boswell, David Sutton, John Fisher, Geo. Lewis. Lexington, April 8th, 1809.
10 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. Woraley, C. Coyle, Bushrod Boswell, Robert R. Barr. Lexington, April 8th, 1809.

The Beautiful and Complete Native Arabian Horse SLEIM. WILL stand the ensuing season, to commence the tenth of March, and expire the tenth of July, at my farm in Fayette county, six miles from Lexington, at twenty dollars the season, or thirty, to ensure a mare to be with foal, or 15 dollars the single leap, to be paid at the expiration of the season. SLEIM is a superbly formed Horse, fourteen and a half hands high, possessing more bone and muscle than any horse in America of his size, and no doubt can be entertained of his being a genuine Arabian. Pasturage for mares gratis, but no responsibility. B. GRAVES. Feb 28th, 1809.
I do hereby certify, that I have bred two years from the genuine and uncommonly fine Arabian horse Selim, and that his colts are large and fine, and in my opinion not inferior to any ever raised in this country, both as to size and form. From the manner in which I became possessed of this horse, there can be no doubt of his being the best blood Arabian that can be produced, as he was presented by Murad Bey to Gen. Abercromby, who intended him for England, where he would have been taken had the General not have died. After his death Maj. Ramsey, a British officer purchased him and sold a part of him to commodore Baron, who brought him to America. For the half of this horse I gave commodore Baron $1500. This horse I have sent out to Maj. Benjamin Graves, near Lexington Kentucky. Given under my hand, this 10th of November, 1808 John Taylor.
Mount Airy, Virginia. We the subscribers do certify, that we have seen several of the colts gotten by the Arabian horse Selim, and think them in no degree inferior to those got by the most celebrated horses. Ephraim Bousley, William Monday, David Johnson. Prince William county, Vir a 24th November 1808
I do hereby certify, that I put a small blooded mare to the Arabian horse Selim, last year, and she produced me a very fine colt, both as to size, beauty and strength, and indeed far exceeded my expectations from the mare—I can further say, that I have seen other foals got by Selim, and think myself a judge of horse flesh, and do declare they are in my opinion fine and large. William Holburn. Richmond county, 10th Nov. 1808. I have seen the colts alluded to by Mr. Holburn and agree with him in opinion. Given under my hand, this 11th day of November, 1808. Benjamin Boughton. I do certify that when I went to Hampton after Selim, for John Taylor esq. that I saw a colt of Laurence Gibbons of Yorktown, Virginia, rising two years old, got by Selim out of a very small mare—it was uncommonly large, and among the finest colts I ever saw. Gibbons had been offered 300 for it—and the report of the people in the lower country was, that his colts were uncommonly fine. Given under my hand this 9th day of January, 1809. James Evans.
I do certify, that I have a colt got by Selim, out of a small mare, which is large and handsome—and I do think equal to the get of any horse in Virginia. Given under my hand this 9th day of Jan. 1809. John Stone. The above mentioned colt was foaled about the 1st of June last, and is upwards of four feet three inches high. John Stone.

COMMUNICATION.
Maison Tourangeau, April 20, 1809.
SIR, AT no period since the 14th of Jan. 1807 has it been in my power to address you...
A person injured; a wounded reputation and injured funds, excite feelings in the breast of a man which call for reparation...
I am Sir, Your most obedient, JOHN ADAIR.
Gen. James Wilkinson.
Orleans, 26th April 1809.
On the 21st inst. I waited on Gen. Wilkinson, at his quarters, with this note. (Adair to Wilkinson)...
SAM. HOPKINS.
I publish the above documents, not on account of any effect they may produce as to my own standing in society...
I am no duellist, nor do I wish to acquire a name in that way. I have been denounced as a traitor to my country...
In justification to my own feelings, I may be allowed once more to assert, that I never have been engaged in any military enterprise...
There is not a man living, who, to my own knowledge, has been engaged in any treasonable project...
Low and contemptible as this man has stood for some time past in the opinion of my countrymen...
I have now done with him in this way, firmly believing that he is a COWARD, and that to apply any weapon of chivalry to him...
JOHN ADAIR.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE ORLEANS GAZETTE.
SIR, After the publication of General Adair in your paper of this day, you have no hesitation in laying the enclosed reply before the public...
THE AUTHOR.
N. Orleans, 23th April 1809.
TO THE PUBLIC.
After a lapse of more than two years spent in all threats and menaces at a distance, General Adair has made his appearance before the public, in the Orleans Gazette of this day.
I shall not consider Gen. Adair's right to call on Gen. Wilkinson for personal satisfaction, for an act done by his order, and under his commission, as commander of our army.
necessary delay (without the general was ashamed to shew his face at the seat of government) which has taken place under such wrongs as he complains of...
"Cut of thine own mouth will I condemn thee".
It is well known to the people of the United States, that some time before Burr left the state of Kentucky, there was a report through every part of the country that Gen. Adair was one of Burr's leading partisans and associates.
The following paragraph is a clear admission on the part of General Adair, that he had been guilty of misprision of treason.
"There is not a man living, who, to my knowledge, has been engaged in any treasonable object, or received a pension for treasonable purposes...
If Adair tells truth, he is a traitor. If he does not tell truth, he is a liar.
His passing charge, that a man of General Hopkins's respectability, should so far commit himself as to have his name affixed to such a publication as General Adair's of this day, after what has passed between him and General Wilkinson...
The letter from General Hopkins which I now lay before the public, bears a very different aspect from his statement of this day in the Orleans Gazette...
A VIRGINIAN.
New-Orleans, 28th April, 1809.
MRS. VAN PRADELLUS.
New Orleans, April 24, 1809.
DEAR SIR—General Adair has waited the call of your friend as arranged between us on Friday last, & has no doubt but important business has hitherto delayed it.
Should you, Sir, (on reflection) be disposed to alter the method proposed by me, I waited on you, be pleased to signify it, as I hold myself ready to explain to your friend, or again to attend you should it be deemed necessary.
I have the honor to be,
Very respectfully,
Dear Sir,
Your obedient servant,
(Signed) SAM. HOPKINS
General Wilkinson.
From the Orleans Gazette.
"Then thou must brain him,
"Or cut his wizard with a knife."
I shall not enquire who is the ostensible author of the piece signed a Virginian, in the Orleans Gazette of this day, but I dare venture to assert, that it had its origin at head quarters, and is a natural brat of Gen. Wilkinson's self.
How can a man of Wilkinson's stamp, talk of bankrupt fortune and character? His forefathers were in the situation of his debt in Kentucky? Does he not know that he dare not set his foot in that state?
Virginian discovered that Gen. Wilkinson is here on a distant and important command. If I do not err egregiously, this country is a division of the United States and all the importance of the command here that ever I could learn, was to get the troops out of the city, to promote the health of the army.
So much for Gen. Wilkinson; now for the automaton author. Whether to attribute this contemptible effusion to the wickedness of your heart, or to your overweening vanity, is difficult to determine.
Did you possess common sense, you would know that Gen Adair will never stoop to notice you in any way whatever... his dispute is with Gen. Wilkinson; with none of his braves...
The army was raised, not to bull the citizens out of their opinions and independence, but to fight the battles of the country.
Any man may trace the president of the United States with impunity; but speak lightly of a brigadier general, who is at least strongly suspected of TREASON, and you are in danger of having your throat cut.
A KENTUCKYAN.

Notwithstanding the hopes entertained a few days since, that the late disturbances in Sweden had been suppressed, we are sorry to find that a complete revolution has taken place in that country.
The proclamation issued by the commander of the troops at Warmland, which is without date, is not violent in its language; Great Britain is called the Ally of Sweden; and there is a profession of a resolution to force France to respect a people anxious to rival her military power.
The Duke of Sodermania appears to have done no more than resume that authority which he held during the minority of the King, when he bore the office of Regent.
The above important intelligence was brought to government yesterday by a messenger, and we received so much further information on the subject by two Gottenburgh mails, which also arrived yesterday.
GOETHEBURG, March 15—The King is a prisoner; and Count Uggla, Count Fersen, and others, have been arrested.
PROCLAMATION
By the Duke of Sodermania, in assuming the Government.
"We Charles, by the Grace of God, Hereditary Prince of Sweden, the Goths, Vandals, &c. Duke of Sodermania, Grand Admiral, &c. do declare, that under existing circumstances, his majesty is incapable to act, or of conducting the important affairs of the nation.
Family, of age) been induced for the time being, as administrators of the kingdom, to take the reins of Government into our hands...
"Our inviolable intention is, to consult with the states on the means to be taken to render the future time happy to the people of Sweden.

"C. LAGERBRING."
PROCLAMATION
By the Swedish Army.
"Considerable number of soldiers have taken up arms, in order to march to the capital, and relieve our common, now unfortunate and dismembered native country.
"We have solemnly contracted the engagement to destroy all such as shall still endeavour to prefer foreign connections to the internal welfare and tranquility of Sweden.
"Sweden's trade and mines are ruined and deserted; Sweden's youth are taken from agricultural pursuits, in order to be destroyed by sickness and the sword.
"We have contracted the solemn engagement, that the fathers of the country shall enjoy full liberty to restore its welfare and prosperity.
"May the higher and lower states of the common weal also join heart and hand to assert the freedom of the country, and then by harmony and well concerted efforts, ensure success to our neighbours, but accompany his offer with the assurance that every Swedish hero will rather be buried under the ruins of his country, than suffer a single inch of Swedish ground to be taken by our enemies, or transgressed to them.
"Our ally, Great Britain, shall learn to appreciate and value a nation which knows how to break its fetters, and rescue liberty from its chains.
"May not the remaining strength of Sweden be wasted by folly, but employed by wisdom, for the real benefit of the country;
"It is of the utmost importance for Sweden that every Swedish man should at length be allowed to return to a peaceful home, as far as it can be done, without any disparagement to the honour and independence of Sweden.
"The frontiers of the kingdom are for a short time left without defence, on account of our departure from thence; but should the enemy, contrary to his solemn promise, avail himself of our absence, to attack them we shall speedily return, take a severe revenge, and convince him of the difference of a warfare, carried on by a personal hatred of the rulers, and a war waged by a nation anxious and determined to assert its independence.
"We implicitly confide, that all military commanders will readily co-operate with us to revive, by speedy and vigorous exertion, the restoration of our lost prosperity, and the destruction of our foreign foes.
"To conclude, we venture to express the wish that our beloved countrymen, and fellow-citizens of every rank & description, may suspend their judgment on all further proceedings, until the decision of the States of the Realm shall be known.

When a swaggering bully attempts to brow-beat a peaceable citizen, it gives us great satisfaction to see the bully defeated, and the injured party triumph.
These observations will be strikingly illustrated by recurring to the correspondence of Messrs. Pinkney and Canning last autumn.
pected Britain, provided their orders in council should be repealed.
"I had the honour to state to you Sir, that it was the intention of the president, in case Great Britain repealed her orders as regards the U. States, to exercise the power vested in him by congress, to suspend the embargo and its supplements, as respects Britain.
Here is the plain language of a republican—a minister who frankly made a proposal evidently for the advantage of both nations.
"It is nevertheless important in the highest degree to the reputation of this country, (a reputation which constitutes a great part of her power) that this disappointment of the hopes of her enemies should not have been purchased by any concession; that no doubt should remain to distant times of her determination, and of her ability to have continued her resistance; and that no step which could even mistakenly be construed into concession should be taken on her part, while the smallest link of confederacy remains undissolved; or while it can be a question whether the plan devised for her destruction has or has not either completely failed, or been unquittingly abandoned.
"These considerations compel his majesty to adhere to the principles on which the orders in council of the 7th January and the 11th November are founded, so long as FRANCE ADHERES TO THAT SYSTEM by which his majesty's retaliatory measures were occasioned and justified.
"His majesty would not hesitate to contribute, in any manner in his power, to restore to the commerce of the United States, its wonted activity; and if it were possible to make any sacrifice for the repeal of the embargo, without appearing to deprecate it as a measure of hostility, he would gladly have facilitated its removal as a measure of inconvenient restriction upon the American people."
(Canning's Letter, Sept. 23, 1808)
This was the language of Britain last September. Spain and Portugal were at this time in a state of commotion. The election of president was not then decided.
CINCINNATI, May 31.
On Sunday afternoon this place was suddenly visited with a furious tornado, or rather hurricane, such as never before appeared here since the settlement of the Ohio country.
The hurricane came from various points of the compass. It was accompanied, occasionally, with hail, rain, thunder & the most vivid corruscations of lightning.
After what has been said, it may be deemed superfluous to add, that the roads in many parts, are rendered impassable by the great quantity of fallen timber.
Taken up by William Phillips, lying in Jessamine county, below the mouth of Hickman, a dun horse 12 years old, no brands that are intelligible with a black mane and tail, about thirteen hands high, appraised to $18.
Given under my hand this 25th March, 1809.

THE HARROGATE WATERS ARE now in order for those who wish to make use of them. The proprietor has been induced to give the waters of his well this appellation, from their quality being that of the so much famed watering place in England (Harrogate). Those Ladies and gentlemen who have drunk of the waters of both places, have pronounced them of the same healing virtues. The road passing from Lexington to the Olympic Springs, going by Harrogate, is not more than half a mile round. Also from Danville to Winchester, or Olympic Springs, it is the most direct course. The subscriber is always most prepared for the accommodation of Travellers, and those who please to call on him. There will be a dance at Harrogate, on Friday the 22d Inst. and every Friday three weeks; there after, to which my former visitors are invited, with as many of their friends as can make it convenient to attend on that day.

KENTUCKY GAZETTE. "He comes, the Herald of a noisy world; "News from all nations lumb'ring at his back." LEXINGTON, JUNE 13. An unfortunate circumstance occurred in this town, on Sunday afternoon. A number of negroes had collected at the jail, but were dispersed by Mr. Wm. Bobb, the keeper. They crossed the street, and several of them collected and behaved impertinent to Mr. Bobb, who threw a brick at them; but they at that instant separating to avoid the brick, it passed through and struck a child of Mr. J. Tannehill's on the head, of which it died a few hours after.
The damage sustained by the town of Cincinnati, appears not to have been so considerable as had been represented by reports. By an article under the Philadelphia head, it will be seen, that the conduct of the British frigate, in firing on one of our vessels, is attempted to be palliated, by representing their mistake of her for a French privateer! Was not the vessel so far within our waters as to be under our jurisdiction?
CONGRESS. SENATE. Friday, May 26. Mr. Pope presented a resolution of the legislature of Kentucky expressive of their opinion that strong restrictions at Michilimackinac, St. Louis, and near the mouth of the Ohio, would be of great public utility, and particularly in the protection of our frontiers; which was referred to a committee appointed yesterday "on so much of the President's message as relates to the defence of our seaport towns and harbours," to consider and report thereon.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Wednesday, May 24. Mr. Randolph, after a variety of introductory remarks, in which he advocated the propriety of reducing the standing military force, and of keeping a watchful eye over the expenditure of public money, submitted the following resolutions: 1. That the additional military force raised in pursuance of the act to raise for a limited time an additional military force, be disbanded; and that the surplus of appropriation made for the additional military force, and the surplus of appropriation remaining unexpended on account of gun boats [which Mr. R. said he was very glad to see the president was laying up in dry dock] be expended in arming and equipping the militia of the United States. 2. That a committee be appointed to enquire and report, whether monies drawn from the treasury have been faithfully applied to the objects for which they were appropriated; and whether the same have been regularly accounted for; and to report likewise whether any further arrangements are necessary to promote economy, enforce adherence to legislative restrictions, and secure the accountability of persons entrusted with the public money. The House agreed to consider these motions, by Yeas and Nays, unanimously, 116 members voting.
Thursday, May 25. We have only room to state that on this day the committee of Commerce and Manufactures reported a bill to permit vessels of those nations with whom intercourse is permitted, as Sweden and Portugal, to clear out with cargoes of foreign or domestic growth or manufacture. The bill was twice read, and referred to a committee of the whole house to-morrow.
The following resolution offered by Mr. Livermore, was referred to a committee of Commerce and Manufactures, with leave to report by bill or otherwise:
Resolved, that it is expedient that the operation of so much of the act to interdict commercial intercourse between the U. States and Great Britain and France and their dependencies, as prohibits the importation of goods from Great Britain and her dependencies, be suspended until the tenth day of June next.
Mr. Randolph, after some prefatory observations, offered the following resolution, which, after a debate of four hours, was adopted, without a division, the words in italic having been inserted on motion of Mr. Troup.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to enquire whether any and what prosecutions have been instituted before the courts of the United States, and by whom, for libels at common law, and to report such provisions as, in their opinion, may be necessary for securing the freedom of speech and of the press.
Friday, May 26. Mr. Randolph, after some prefatory remarks, which will appear in course, offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That the promptitude and frankness with which the President of the United States has met the overtures of the government of Great Britain towards a restoration of harmony and free commercial intercourse between the two nations, meets the approbation of this House.
The house agreed to consider the motion. Mr. Bacon moved to amend by adding at the end of it, the words - "and furnishes an additional proof of the spirit of accommodation on the part of the government of the United States, which has at no time been intermitted."
Mr. Bacon then moved that the resolution and amendment be referred to a committee of the whole.
Mr. J. G. Jackson made a motion which superseded Mr. Bacon's, to postpone indefinitely.
To this motion Mr. Randolph objected a considerable length, and Messrs. Holland, J. G. Jackson, and Findley replied.
When, after a debate of three hours or upwards, a motion was made to adjourn and carried.
Saturday, May 27. VOTE OF APPROBATION. Mr. Randolph called for the consideration of the unfinished business of yesterday; and on the question, will the House resume the consideration of the subject, the House divided 54 to 54; and the Speaker voting in the negative, the motion was lost. Mr. Randolph subsequently gave notice that he should call it up every day during the session if he had an opportunity, and require the yeas and nays each time, unless the House should agree to take it up.
AARON BURR. Advises are said to have been received from London, by the arrival of the brig Levant , stating, that this traitor left that
city some time in the month of March last, and was waiting at one of the out ports for the sailing of a ship bound for the U. States on board of which he was to take his passage - we can hardly credit the relation, conceiving his temerity not quite so infatuated as to venture on a step every way outrageous, he has surely by his intrigues and treason, insulted the Union sufficiently without adding to the measure of his infamy.
We gave this information without absolutely vouching for its authenticity, however we shall endeavour to lift the report, and in the event of learning the name of the vessel shall think it our duty to put as well the government, as the citizens at large on their guard. - ( Democratic Press. )
PHILADELPHIA, May 30. From our correspondent at Baltimore, Sunday May 28. "Arrived fchr. Hetty, Dawton, Carthage , 36 days. Saw one of the British frigates off the Capes - was not boarded. The pilot of the Hetty informs, that he was present when the frigate fired on the Amiable , (some days since arrived here) - being near the frigate, was hailed by her, and asked, what the fchr. on which she was firing, was? When informed that she was an American, the frigate ceased firing, and her commander said, that he had understood there was a French privateer hovering on the coast - and thanked the pilot for his information. Thus an occurrence which some had hoped to persuade the people was a new aggression, proves to have been mere accident."
MRS. CLARKE - This lady, we understand, has undertaken to support her literary work, in consideration of a sum of 7000l to cover her debts, &c. and an annuity of 600l to herself and her children. - Ten thousand copies of the work had been worked off, but they were consigned to the flames on Saturday, and all the parties concerned declared upon oath, that no vetige, in print or manuscript was preserved, except a single copy, in compliance with the act of parliament, and that is secured under seven seals. ( London Pap. )
Sir David Dundas is appointed Commander in Chief of the British army. The following changes, we are advised by London prints, are to take place in the British military:
Sir James Pulteney to retire from the office of Secretary at War, and to be succeeded by the right honourable Charles Long.
Mr. Sturgis Bourne, to succeed Mr. Long as Paymaster of the Forces.
Mr. Bourne's successor as a Lord of the Treasury is not yet appointed.
A new expedition, under the command of Sir A. Wellesley, was about to sail to Portugal for its defence.
A Congress is to be held on the banks of the Inn, where the Emperors Francis and Napoleon are to meet.
A treaty is said to have been concluded between France and Persia, by which the latter is to cede to France an island in the Persian Gulf. - ( National Intelligence. )
LATEST FROM EUROPE. At a late hour last evening, we received English papers to the 16th ult. Upon a hasty perusal, we are only able to give the following.
It is reported that Messina has been killed by Bonaparte, in a fit of passion, though other accounts say it was by accident.
Accounts are received from Paris on the 28th March, that Bonaparte had not left that place - but that he would probably set off after an extraordinary meeting that was to be held of the Senate. - Troops were pouring into Germany from all parts.
A paper of the 4th inst. mentions reports being received of actions between the French and Austrians, but later papers give no confirmation of them and it only appears that preparations were going on vigorously between them.
A paper of the 4th inst. - two expeditions are intended - one has just sailed from Cork - the other will sail from Portsmouth in a few days - one is intended for Portugal the other unknown.
The papers contain a variety of paragraphs from Spain and Portugal, but none so late as received, nor of any great moment, which the want of time and room obiges us to postpone till our next. - ( True American. )
LATEST FROM ENGLAND. The Spanish schooner Good Voyage , capt. George, arrived at this port on Saturday evening, in 46 days passage from Liverpool. By this vessel the editors of the New-York Gazette have received London papers to the 14th, and Liverpool to the 16th ult. The accounts from Spain, received in London, were not of a favorable nature to the Spanish cause; although Vigo had been taken by them. French troops had entered Portugal, and it was expected that they would get possession of that country. Accounts received via Boston, state that Lisbon had already fallen into the hands of the French. Nothing is said about the war with Austria; but Sweden had concluded an armistice with Russia, to prepare the way, probably, for an alliance with France. ( N. Y. Gaz. )
LIVERPOOL, April 15. A variety of accounts have been received from Spain during the present week, but none perhaps which can be implicitly depended on. The news which has arrived is very various in its complexion, some of the details being highly encouraging, and others very unfavourable to the patriotic cause; but unhappily that part of the intelligence which has the greatest appearance of authenticity, is the most disheartening. The Spanish army in Catalonia it appears, has been exposed since the fall of Saragossa, to the whole of that part of the enemy's force which had been released from the arduous duties of that protracted siege. This force having been strongly reinforced, has attacked the patriotic army, and completely routed it; the consequence of which is, that the French will obtain undisturbed possession of the fertile province of Valencia, where their various preforming wants may be amply supplied. To counterbalance this misfortune, we are informed that the Gallicians are again rou-
sed from their torpor, and are acting with such energy, that the enemy can hardly maintain his footing in that province. From other parts of the north the accounts are not less favourable. Dispatches have been received by our government announcing that the port of Vigo has been taken by the united English and Spaniards, with 1500 prisoners, and a large quantity of stores. In the south, no dependency appears either in the people or in the patriotic government. The Seville Gazette contains some spirited observations on the conduct of the French, and the present state of the campaign; and a calculation is made that no less than 163,000 of the enemy's troops have fallen victims to the sword, disease, and fury of the people.
It would seem, nevertheless, that the forces of the enemy, reduced as they undoubtedly must be, are, however, not completely occupied by the conquest of Spain; for they have been able to detach a large force against Portugal. A considerable French army has already reached that country, & is approaching towards the capital, so that unless the British army which is now very strong, should judge it expedient to quit the country, a severe contest may be expected. We are afraid that Sir A. Wellesley, with his powerful reinforcement, will arrive too late.
LONDON, April 13. Official intelligence has been received at the Admiralty, of the surrender of Vigo to the Spanish Patriots, and his majesty's frigates the Lively and Venus . The French garrison consisted of 1500, and 50 officers, who all laid down their arms before Capt. Mackinley, and the greater part of them are now on their way to England.
The French military chiefs, and about 4500 horses, were in Vigo when it surrendered, and, of course, fell into the hand of the captors.
The official details respecting the surrender of Martinique and Vigo were published in a Gazette Extraordinary this morning.
LONDON April 5. Gen. Dupont who surrendered to the Spaniards under Cuesta, is said to have been brought to trial, and condemned to death. He was shot by torch light. This punishment is understood to have produced much murmuring among the French officers.
April 8. There was a report this morning that the Delacarians under General Fall, had succeeded in releasing the king of Sweden from his confinement, and in reinstating him upon his throne - that the Duke of Sudermania had fled towards Finland to take refuge in the Russian territories. We know not upon what authority this rumor rests. We have not heard of any arrivals from Sweden, since the 28th ult.
On Wednesday last (says the Boston Gazette ) arrived fchr. Ranger , Tuck, 19 days from St. Michaels. Capt. 1. informs, that a British armed brig touched there a few days before he sailed, and brought information of the French being at Lisbon. He however understood that the account was considered very doubtful from the indirect route through which it was derived. [It ought to be remembered, that the French were not at Lisbon on the 8th of April. - This fact was ascertained by the arrival of Capt. Sawyer at Boston, on the 9th inst. direct from Lisbon.]
The American Press could not, perhaps, have conferred a greater benefit on the public, than has been done by the recent publication of Malthus's Treatise on the principle of population . However divided men of science and observation may be on the accuracy of the inferences deduced by the writer, there can be no division on the importance of the subject discussed, on the candor with which it is treated, and on the diligence with which facts have been collected. A more vigorous, original and practical work has not for a long time been penned. Few men will persevere without profit; for should it fail in adding to their stores of knowledge, it will undoubtedly succeed in giving new and useful directions to their reflections. - If we are not mistaken, the principles it establishes will hereafter irradiate the page of history, by the clear light which they are calculated to shed on many of the most obscure and otherwise inexplicable events that befall nations.
The leading principle, assumed by Mr. Malthus, is, that the great mass of misery and vice prevalent in the world, has been the result of a too rapid increase of the human species, which by outgrowing the existing means of subsistence have principally given rise to the wars, diseases and famines which have successively desolated the earth, and have conglutinated the greater portion of its inhabitants to indigence and wretchedness. Having conclusively established, as he thinks, this principle, he exposes the absurdity of all those attempts, which have been made from time immemorial, to accelerate the natural increase of the human species; and not satisfied with exposing this position, he recommends to moral and religious instructors the inculcation of a forbearance to marry until the parties possess the probable means of maintaining their children. He contends that nothing has been so fertile in the creation of misery as early marriages in communities where the means of subsistence have not been previously obtained; and insists that it is our duty to regulate our conduct and passions, as to avoid a step which cannot fail, when these means do not exist, of not only making ourselves wretched, but likewise of entailing wretchedness on our children. And notwithstanding the strength of our passions, he thinks that our own reflection, co-operating with public opinion, may have a great effect in repressing imprudent marriages or an early sexual intercourse.
These inferences, if drawn from correct principles, however, they may hereafter apply to this country; are happily at present in great measure inapplicable. For the means of subsistence are so prodigiously produced among us, as invariably even to exceed the uncedented growth of our numbers. There is, however, one inference drawn which is not altogether inapplicable to our state of society. It relates to the mode of providing for the support of the poor. This inference explodes as unjust and insufficient all the public institutions established in Europe for their maintenance; and goes to show that so far from mitigating, they have constantly tended to aggravate the evil. If this view be just, if it ought not at present materially to influence our conduct, it should at least, be steadily kept in view as our state of society approximates to that of Europe. One thing we are happy to find, as it con-
firms an opinion which we have long entertained; in the judgment of Mr. Malthus, the condition of the poor is most successfully ameliorated by the education of their children, which he strongly recommends as a substitute for their pecuniary maintenance. Thus he inculcates as a duty incumbent on every society, as in every respect unexceptionable, and as a blessing which cannot be too widely extended.
At present we are a happy people. The gifts of fortune, as they are usually called, are indeed, as they must be unequally distributed among us; but the career to comfort, to wealth, and even to power, is open to all, and there is no one among us that perishes with indigence. How long we shall remain so must depend on ourselves, if the immutable laws of nature do not imperiously, as it is believed they do not, decline us to the same round with those nations whose memorials only exist on the page of history. If we avoid the wreck which has befallen other nations, it can only be by imitating the causes which led to their destruction. To those who will distinctly perceive these causes, and have the ambition of exploring the path by which they may be avoided, we warmly recommend a perusal of this able work. ( Nat. Int. )
In the English house of lords, on the 27th of March, lord Selkirk gave notice, that after the recess he would submit a motion to the house on the subject of Mr. Rose's mission to the government of the United States.
"Verily they have their reward." Sixteen bills of indictment for infractions of the embargo laws have been found by a jury of the circuit court of the United States in Vermont, held in Windfor. It is said, one million of dollars will not pay the penalties incurred.

THE subscriber has made the greatest exertions since the last season, to render this pleasant, 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 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, sedative, 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. Tbs. Eastland. May 10th, 1809.
