AN ODE, Written at LEXINGTON in KENTUCKE, for the 4th of July, 1788.
I. WHEN the Almighty fiat gave "Creation's boundless range" a birth; The choir of Angels hail'd our land, The land most favor'd of the earth, 'Hail, Kentucky! Kentucky, that shalt be 'For ever great, most blest and free.
II. 'High as thy dreams, whose swelling pride 'Increasing torrents quickly raise; 'So high, the trump of fame shall swell 'Thy name with tributary praise. 'Hail, Kentucky! For ever be thy name 'The theme of never dying fame.
III. 'Till latest times, thy teeming fields, 'By lib'ral Heaven's great commands, 'Shall on thy torrents, unconfin'd, 'Send plenty to far distant lands. 'Hail, Kentucky! Kentucky, thou shalt be 'For ever great, most blest and free.
From a LONDON PAPER of August 21. Received by the Merchant, Capt. Bunker. ABRIDGEMENT of the STATE of POLITICS this week.
THE political system of Europe grows extremely dubious, dark, confused and contradictory! Ow- ing in part to the contrasted interests and conse- quent duplicity of the principal actors in the dread- ful scene opening before our eyes; still more, to the officious zeal of the printers of foreign gazettes and other public prints, the manufacturers, and our own newspaper editors, the wholesale dealers in, and retailers of, false intelligence and absurd reasonings from the same; infomuch that we are lost in a cloud and impenetrable mist and darkness, with scarcely a ray of light or pure undeceiving truth to guide us thro' the perplexing labyrinth!
If these gentlemen would content themselves with narrating simple facts, and throwing out their own observations upon them, as observations of their own, and giving us their own conjectures of what is to come as mere conjecture, with their reasons for the same; the plain, honest, fair politi- cian (among whom we have the honor to rank ourselves) would have a fair field to range in, from whence he might deduce a clear, intelligible and judicious statement of politics at home and abroad. But when they substitute for facts, mat- ters which have no existence but in their own weak noddies, and press them upon a deluded ab- used public as admitted propositions, from which they have the audacity to reason as confidently as the mathematician demonstrates from the axioms of Euclid, they deserve to have every cont- empt thrown upon them that an indignant public can dignify them with!
For example—We are told with all possible confidence in Saturday's papers—"That orders have actually been given by the Danish govern- ment for supplying their ally, the Empress of Russia, with the naval and military forces, as stip- ulated by the subsisting treaty between Denmark and the court of Peterburgh, which has been for- mally announced to the Swedish minister at Copen- hagen, by order of the prince royal." And "the prince royal is said to have expressed himself in very strong terms of indignation at the very unwar- rantable conduct of Sweden towards Russia; and says, that the whole force of the Danish empire shall be exerted in the cause of Russia and her allies, if necessary." Now we knew, and the ga- zette of Tuesday confirms it, that the prince royal, who is the efficient ruling and directing power of Denmark, was in Norway, even at Drontheim, the remotest corner of it from Copenhagen, at the time of the naval engagement between the Swedes and Russians, and therefore could know nothing at all of that or other hostilities commencing be- tween the two nations, until a fortnight or three weeks after the transactions; it would require as much time for him to convey his opinion or his orders to Copenhagen on the subject, supposing him to take no time to deliberate, but to give his op- inion instantaneously upon such a weighty, import- ant concern. It follows then, that the prince's de- termination could not be known at Copenhagen, and consequently no definitive resolution could be formed by that court respecting the part it will take in the war, without his instructions, and in- deed without his bodily presence, to know the whole state of affairs, and to consult with his fa- ther, fill a king, and the cabinet council and great officers of state, of the fleet and the army. The whole of this intelligence then must be a fabrication of gross falsehood.
To relieve our readers from the effects of their flameless impositions, by pointing out their incon- gruity and absurdity, is no small part of the task we have prescribed to ourselves. So far from va- luing ourselves upon early intelligence, we find difficulty enough to guard against spurious, pre- mature and ill digested accounts, and down right im- positions, continually pouring in upon us, both for ourselves and readers.
As we plead time for the hearing of the Turk- ish accounts of the war by sea and land against the Russian and German accounts, who have the advantage of being first heard among us; so we plead the same indulgence for the Russian accounts to be stated against those of the Swedes, who have the same advantage on their side. We are in- variably adherents to the maxim, "Audi alteram partem."
If the Swedish fleet should get the better of the Russian squadron now afloat in the Baltic and its vicinity, then stand by and clear the way at Peter- burgh for a double Swedish visit by land and by water! the latter may almost be instantly after a compleat sea victory. No time to be lost in pre- paration for their reception at Peterburgh.
At all events we wish never to see a British fleet of war sent up the Baltic, for various, ob- vious, solid reasons; let the northern and the continental powers fight it out among themselves —Great-Britain out of the question.
The battle seems to have lost all its terrors!— Crowds of volunteers press forwards as candidates to obtain a seat in that once dreaded mansion, thereby to fix themselves firm in the esteem of their fellow subjects, in proportion as they incur the displeasure of the prince; which displeasure he dares not yet vent to the full;—committing his nobles one day;—emitting them in another day from that gloomy abode; and then at a loss what to do to restrain them within the limits of his or- ders, the bond of his authority. He has nothing left now to do, but to try to blunt the edge of the axe upon the necks of his refractory subjects, and if that will not do, then the torture; but that leads to scenes which the Grand Monarch himself must look to with horror and affright!—for, where may it end?—What will become of him and his family, should the military mutiny resist, or lay down their arms?
The Brabantines keep their account open with their Imperial Lord, which we believe will never be finally closed, until he shall have settled with the Turkish Divan all outstanding matters between him and them, an event which appears to be at some distance at present.
As to the poor Capt. Pacha, they have made sad work with him, in the Russian, German, and even in the English newspapers! They have twice roasted him alive by burning two of his ships, or burning one ship twice; and served his vice-admi- ral neither better nor worse, and to finish the cat- astrophe, they have delivered him up a captive, (ship and all) sorely wounded, into the hands of vice-admiral Paul Jones, of famous American re- bellious and freebooting memory! Could his in- veterate enemies the patriots of Constantinople (brethren of our Pseudo Patriots) have consigned him to a more ignominious ragged fate, if let loose to the extent of their wishes! Surely all this is enough to break the heart of a lion or tame a tiger. We will still reserve a corner in our mind, to re- ceive his own account of all these matters, if they have left him alive to speak for himself. How many times has that poor man been beaten, cooped up, captivated, and all but killed in Egypt among the rebel pachas! Rebels by instinct conceive a hatred to him.
Our consuls abroad are more diligent to give information of the rupture with the emperor of Morocco, the progress of the negotiation, and the conclusion of the peace, than our ministers at home? Which of them act the most political and honest part, we leave the public to judge of. But we apprehend the peace with that ferocious prince would have been more beneficial and more dura- ble if he had been made to smell the gunpowder he so much longed for. If war is ever justifiable, laudable and praise worthy, it is, surely, when it is carried on with vigor and effect against nests of lawless, incorrigible, robbers and pirates by pra- tession, which is, however, the only war that is not waged with vigor or perseverance by christ- ian princes; however furiously and pertinaciously they may fight among themselves.
The most christian king, if we may believe the foreign prints, seems to be adopting our maxim for the present with the dey of Algiers, a conduct very different from our court: how long he will persevere in his pursuit of justice time alone can shew.
At all events it is proper for our fleet to stand ready armed to see fair play between them, other- wise the French cabinet may make a stalking horse of the dey, to get the start of us in arming.
The Turkish ministry pay the French ambassa- dor many great and solid compliments indeed, in sending him whole trains of French subjects captivated in the wars!—a friendship they do not honor any other nation with!—they certainly would not do it if they knew all; that France is at this very time intriguing with Russia, the em- peror and other powers against the Turks, and a- gainst us for not taking part against them! What is our ambassador doing with the Divan, not to open their eyes to see these serious striking things? Oh! for an Antilgallican minister at our helm of state! He would blow up the French cabinet at Constantinople, and at Peterburgh too, by laying open their devices at both places. But alas! we have a minister Frenchified to the back bone! a warm friend and passionate admirer of the French king! his eulogist and hyperbolical panegyrist. Pi- ty that two such congenial spirits should be kept asunder! Cannot his most christian majesty bor- row our unparalleled statesman to be his grand premier, to assist him in the great work of subju- gating his refractory subjects, and curing them of their presumptuous notions of liberty, property and the Gallick constitution? A most excellent scheme, simply and exclusively our own! There is no more absurdity in the French king borrowing a prime minister, than in our borrowing a foreign general to be commander in chief of our armies in Germany in the last reign, after driving our own natural born royal commander from his sta- tion by ill usage.
The French memorial presented by Mons. de St. Priest to the States General, in answer to their remonstrance to the French court, respecting the proceedings in the East-Indies, is one entire com- pleat piece of evasion and subterfuge, destitute of every thing that looks like satisfaction to the com- plainants!
The French funds are said to totter; well they may when the monarchy itself is in a very totter- ing condition.—Perhaps the funds are to be sacri- ficed, in order to strengthen the hands of the mo- narch and his minions.
CHARLESTON, Oct 2. On Sunday last arrived here the ship British Queen, from Glasgow, with several passengers, among whom there is a decent and truly respectable old couple, who brought with them considerable property, and eleven of their sons and daughters, seven of whom are tradesmen and farmers, the rest are young, but in the bloom of health. It seems what induced this venerable adventu- rer to come to this part of the world, especially in so ad- vanced a period of his life, was the oppressive conduct of an unfeeling landlord, who when the lease of his farm expired, endeavored to extort much more for a re-newal of his lease, than in all probability the united exertions of himself and family could earn.
WINCHESTER, Sept 24. A correspondent informs us of a spring, in Berkeley county, on the road leading from this town to Shepherd's town, the virtues of which have been but recently discovered. He affirms these waters are superior in quality, in many disorders, to those of the Warm Springs, and that two infirm gentle- men, of his acquaintance, who had drank thereof, experienced their salutary effects, in a great degree. This spring has attracted the notice of travellers by a remarkable sulphurous smell which issues therefrom, and which is perceivable at a consider- able distance before they approach it.
PHILADELPHIA, October 15. One night last week 33 of the criminals, com- monly called wheelbarrow-men, broke out of the jail of this city; since which several of them have have been retaken, but the remainder have re- sumed their former practices of depredation upon the persons and property of the inhabitants. Their custom is to change cloaths with those they rob. Sunday afternoon, a man lately from Ireland was robbed of eight guineas and an half in the wood just below Gray's Ferry.
The same evening, about eight o'clock, a young man was stopped in South-street, near Tenth-street, by a fellow, who plundered him, and then tied him to a stake.
Such of the citizens as are obliged to go abroad in the evening, would do well to arm themselves.

Mr. Willcocks, on behalf of the ward's commit- tee, reported, "That that committee, in confer- ence with their appointment on Saturday last, had proceeded to consider the subject referred to them, and after due deliberation had agreed to recom- mend to this meeting James Wilson and George La- timer, Esquires, as suitable persons to represent this city in the conference proposed and shortly to be held at Lancaster."

On motion, resolved, That the committee ap- pointed from the several wards of this city at a former meeting be instructed to report on Wed- nesday evening next at 6 o'clock, to a general meeting to be held at this place, the names of six suitable persons from whom the representatives for this city in the Congress of the United States may be chosen.

The thanks of the meeting being given to the Chairman, it adjourned to meet at this place on Wednesday evening next at six o'clock.

On Wednesday last arrived at Philadelphia, the brig Neptune, Capt. S. Williams, in 10 weeks from St. Peterburgh in Russia. Capt. Williams informs, that there has been a second sea fight be- tween the Russians and Swedes, that the admiral of the Swedish fleet was taken; and that rear ad- miral Paul Jones is held in very high estimation by the Russians.
Captain Baker of the brig Hector, who arrived at Philadelphia on Friday last from Port-au-Prince, and left that port on the 21st of September, in- forms, that Capt. B. Gilchrist was safe arrived there from this place. On the same day, off Leagou, spoke Capt. Lemaire, in the sloop Abigail, 30 days from Boston, all well.
The Mary, Edgar, from Glasgow, is arrived in James river.
On the 20th of September last, the ship Hanover, from Norfolk, bound to Bourdeaux, in lat. 36, 56, long. 71, 21, west from London, met with a vi- olent gale of wind, which obliged them to seud 60 hours, during which they drove their boats, lost their main sail, and most of the articles on deck. Finding it necessary to lighten the ship, they threw a part of their cargo overboard, which consisted chiefly of lumber. After the gale abated, they proceeded on their voyage as far as 67 and an half, but finding the vessel had sprung a leak during the gale, making an inch of water in her hold per minute, thought it most prudent to put back, and arrived at Norfolk on the 15th instant.
On the 13th inst. Capt. Hill, in the brig Com- merce, arrived at Baltimore, after a passage of 9 weeks, from Liverpool. On the 27th ult. he met a violent gale of wind, which laid his vessel on her beam ends and shifted her cargo. In this situation and having 4 feet water in her hold, she was, for some time in the most imminent danger of sinking. On the 11th inst. in lat. 36, 42, and long. 74, Capt. Hill spoke the sloop Friendship, Capt. Burnham, from New-York, bound to Savannah, all well.
From the Pennsylvania Packet, Messrs. DUNLAP & CLAYPOOLE,
HAVING observed lately a number of accounts in your paper, as well as others, of valuable mines being found out in Carolina, New York, and Massachusetts, I think proper to let you know, that in Lancaster county, upon Piqua, is to be met with a sample of excessive rich ore, far exceeding any of the kind ever found or worked in England; affays having been taken from pieces thrown up in different parts of this tract, have most commonly given from 50 to 60 lead, and 12, 14 and 20 ounces of silver per quintal. If this was pursued by go- vernment, and regular works established, it might afford useful supplies to the public, and find a mode of employment much more suitable for our crimi- nals than that at present made use of.

In order to enable the candid reader to form an unbiased judgment, we shall present him with an extract from the London Monthly Review, for Ja- nuary, 1788.
"The authors of the present publication, by comparing the relative situation and circumstan- ces of the two countries, prove that a well-regu- lated commerce must be highly beneficial to each.
"They are justly entitled to the united thanks of the French and Americans, for they have plain- ly shown the mutual advantages that may arise from a commercial intercourse between the two nations; and they have at the same time given a just view of foreign trade in general, and the be- nefits thence arising."

COAL TAR.
A Quantity of this Tar, and of black and clear Varnish extracted from Coal, is just arrived, to be sold for ready money only, by Charles Wilkes, No. 12, Hanover-square. The sole Agent in America for the British Tar Company.
Charles Wilkes,
THE superior excellence of this Tar in pre- serving the bottoms of vessels from the worms, and in keeping them clean, has been proved by repeated experiments. It has been also found to be an effectual preservative of cast and wrought iron from rust. A description of the different kinds of Coal Tar and Varnish made by the Bri- tish Tar Company, and of the various uses they may be applied to with the greatest advantage, with directions for using them, may be had as above. 29th Sept. 1788.
Charles Wilkes,
The following Certificate of an Experiment made in New-York, is added for the information of the Public. New-York, April 26, 1788. WE the subscribers do hereby certify that on or about the 18th June last, we attended at Van Tuyll's wharf, on the East river, in this city, where we examined three pieces of timber, all of the same dimensions, one payed over with Lord Dundonald's late invented Coal Tar, the other, two pieces with a stout thick coat of common ship stuff (pitch, tar, oil, and sulphur); that we after- wards saw them all chained to and sunk along side said wharf. That nearly six months after, to wit, on the 5th of December following, we again attended at said wharf, when in our presence they were all taken up, and on examining them, the piece done over with the Coal Tar appeared clean and entirely free from grass and barnacles, the other pieces were both very foul, one of them was almost covered with barnacles; that on cutting them in several places we found the worms in full possession of the two pieces payed with the ship stuff, scarcely an inch having escaped them. The piece done over with the Coal Tar was perfectly free from them, and as sound and fresh as when put down. From the above experiment we are fully of opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bot- tom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement.
