Runaway Negro.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, early in July, a negro man named GRESHAM . He is about 26 years of age, 5 feet 11 inches or 6 feet high, of a tawny complexion, has a scar on one of his jaws or side of his face forming a half circle; I think it is on the right, but am not positive. He is a slim made fellow, with a bushy head, and when spoken to has a scary and down look. When he went away he had a green round coat, buff colored breeches, with homespun clothing, and has never been accustomed to any work but in the crop or field. I have understood he has crossed the Potomac about Britain's Bay, over into Maryland. I expect he has procured a pass and will endeavor to appear as a freeman. All masters of vessels and others are forewarned from harboring or carrying him away under the penalty of the law.
I will give Twenty Dollars reward if taken in Maryland, or Fifteen if taken in the Northern Neck, so that I get him again, George Christopher.

FROM THE WESTERN WORLD.
The Kentucky Spanish Association, Blount's Conspiracy, and General Miranda's Expedition.
[CONTINUED.]
The foregoing letter from Geo. Muter, president of the Kentucky court of Appeals, to which are subjoined the letter from Mr. John Brown to him, dated New York, 10th July, 1788, and a letter which Muter addressed to the editor of the Kentucky Gazette, dated the 4th of September, 1790; while they serve to throw more light on the agency of Mr. Brown in the Spanish conspiracy, display a want of candor and patriotism in judge Muter, which we regret to be obliged to notice. We stated in the first number of the Spanish Association our belief that judge Muter was not connected in the negotiation, either with Spain or England, for bartering the rights of the Kentuckians. We believe so still; but his own letter proves, that although he had no agency in the business, yet that he was willing to conceal treason, and to press traitors to his bosom. For after acknowledging that Mr. Brown was of opinion "that it was most advisable to declare this country independent," and that he assured the convention, "that all they asked with respect to the navigation of the Mississippi, was in their power or their offer," (viz. by forming a treaty with Spain) he proceeds to state his motives and his feelings for consenting to the disclosure of John Brown's treasonable letter, which were not to serve his country; but to prevent a duel between two private individuals. If George Muter had been left to his own free inclinations, and had not been biased by force of personal interest, we think he was more friendly to an alliance with Great Britain than with Spain. This old judge is a native of Scotland, and notwithstanding he has spent 40 years of his life in the United States, and has undergone many fatigues of the revolutionary war; yet he still retains many of the prejudices and partialities of his country. The tinsel sound of hereditary title is grateful to his ear; and the old Scotch ballads of "Charley o'er the water," and "O Johnny Cope are you walking yet," more pleasing than the republican songs of "Hail Columbia," and "Yankee Doodle." We are far from censuring judge Muter for these feelings. They are extremely natural; and when we consider the services of his father, were devoted to the restoration of the Stuart family, it is not astonishing that that the tear of loyalty should trickle down his aged cheeks; and the sigh of melancholy dejection be heaved from his breast, whenever the fall of kings is mentioned. That day which determined the fate of CULLODEN, though buried in the lapse of half a century, we are informed, is still kept as a day of sorrow by the president of the Kentucky court; nor without reason, for George Muter must have seen a manifest difference between the situation of a flying fugitive and rebel—scampering at the heels of a defeated prince across tractless mountains of Caledonia, and the rewards anticipated in entering the palace of St. James, amidst the splendor of royalty.
We only blame judge Muter for the want of independence, and for suffering himself to become the advocate of a party who were pursuing measures opposite to those which met his approbation, merely for the sake of private emolument. That such is the unfortunate weakness of the president of the Kentucky court of Appeals, will sufficiently appear from the perusal of a joint address by judge Muter and judge Sebastian, in 1794, to "The Freemen of Kentucky."
The cause of this address was briefly as follows: A petition signed by eighty five subscribers, was presented to the honorable the General Assembly for the commonwealth of Kentucky, to remove George Muter and Benjamin Sebastian, judges of the court of appeals, on charges of injuring the rights of many of the citizens, and derogating from justice. On this petition a resolution was introduced in the house of representatives for their removal, which resolution concludes with the following clauses:
"Whence arises a well grounded apprehension that the said George Muter and Benjamin Sebastian are altogether destitute of that judgment, integrity and firmness, which are essential in every judge, but more especially in judges of the supreme court, and that there is no security for property so long as the said George Muter and Benjamin Sebastian continue as judges of the court of appeals."
"And whereas also the constitution provides, that for any reasonable cause which
shall not be sufficient ground of impeachment, the governor may remove any judge of a superior or inferior court on the address of two thirds of each branch of the legislature deeming the before recited case proper for their interposition and address; therefore, resolved, that the said George Muter and Benjamin Sebastian ought respectively to be removed from their offices of judges of the court of appeals, and that a joint committee from each branch of the legislature, be appointed to prepare an address to the governor for that purpose."
A similar resolution was introduced in the senate for the removal of Muter and Sebastian, on the ground either of "a want of proper knowledge of the law, or some impure motives that appeared to discover a want of integrity."
In the senate, five voted for the resolution, and four against it. In the house of representatives sixteen for the resolution, and thirteen against it—Whence it is evident, that although there was not a constitutional majority, yet that a majority of both houses agreed in opinion, that George Muter, the present president of Kentucky court of appeals, and Benjamin Sebastian, one of the present judges, were men not of integrity.
In this address of Muter and Sebastian to the freemen of Kentucky, a most vindictive & rancorous hatred to the late gen. Benjamin Logan, is conspicuous. The cause of their resentment was the candor of the general, who disclosed many of the secrets of the Spanish association. The old veteran had in the first stages of the conspiracy, given his concurrence to the scheme; but no sooner did he discover its treasonable nature, and the calamities which must inevitably have flowed to the citizens of the union, were the plan put into execution, than he made a full and ample recantation to many of his friends on the subject. Let the reader, therefore, mark the language which Muter and Sebastian use in speaking of Logan.
"In all the previous steps taken in the house of representatives, he (gen. Logan,) took a very active part, but yet upon both votes he retired from the house, assigning as reason for doing so, "that he was too much interested to vote on the question." This shewed a conviction that it was improper for him to have taken any part in the business, and therefore his conduct is the more unjustifiable, as it was against his better knowledge, and the dictates of his conscience. If his situation was such, as to make it improper for him to vote; how could he justify the steps which he took to influence the votes of others?—Was it proper for his dupes and dependents to do, under his influence that which was improper for him? The general values himself on art and intrigue, and knows too well the extent of his influence not to have been satisfied when he was retiring from the house, with the professed design of not voting, that he was leaving behind him many whose votes in favor of the resolution, he had previously secured. And therefore in retiring he exhibits an example of the grossest hypocrisy, and the ease with which the mask was seen through, ought to be a standing lesson to him hereafter, that all cunning is folly, and that honesty, however much out of fashion is the best policy."
The integrity of his honor judge Sebastian however appears to be hereditary, for an indictment for perjury was preferred against his father Benjamin Sebastian, who died before a final determination could be had. This occurred in the case of an action commenced by Robert Alexander, Esq. against John Carlyle, Esq. in Fairfax county court, Virginia, for the recovery of a valuable land estate adjoining the town of Alexandria, when on the trial of the suit Mr. Alexander introduced Benjamin Sebastian as a witness. A letter from the late chancellor Wythe of Virginia to Mr. Alexander respecting this suit, was published in the seventh number of the Western World from the Richmond Enquirer.
The agency of judge Sebastian in the company which dispatched doctor Watkins to Madrid, has been noticed in the two last numbers. We are authorised still further to state, that judge Sebastian particularly urged that the memorial to his Catholic majesty should commence with a declaration on the part of the subscribers expressive of their discontent with the government of the United States. It was likewise the earnest desire of Sebastian that he himself should go to Madrid as the agent of the company, and at a meeting held by the members in Shelbyville, we are informed that his honor was appointed; but in an after meeting which was convened at Frankfort, the judge was out polled and doctor Watkins appointed in his place. In one of the meetings at Frankfort his excellency governor Greenup was present, but he did not become a subscriber, probably more from a suspicion of losing his two hundred dollars, than from motives of patriotism; for if his intentions had been patriotic, it was his duty to have exposed the combination, and to have informed the people that there was a society formed by one of the judges of the court of appeals, for the express purpose of depopulating Kentucky, and colonising Spanish America.
We have directly accused judge Sebastian as having had an improper connexion with Spanish affairs, and with respect to the other judges of the court of appeals, we can as positively declare that they were well acquainted with the nature of the conversations which John Brown had with the Spanish minister Don Gardoque; and although they may not have taken an active part themselves, yet in our opinion, their having a knowledge of these facts, and afterwards supporting the public character of the man, who was the treasonable agent; they merit both censure and punishment.
In regard to judge Innis, we have been informed, that his honor had intended a prosecution against the editors of the Western World, if they had criminated him. We have no hesitation in saying the same of Innis as of the judges of the court of appeals; viz. that he was well acquainted with the machinations of Brown and Wilkinson; and that it was his duty as attorney general of the state to have noticed them. We shall be happy, however, if judge Innis would answer us one question. What were the motives which induced him, after the appearance of the Western World, to hurry to Lexington, and withdraw several old letters and papers, which he had given to Mr. McCruder for the purpose of his compiling his history of the Indian wars, and which the latter on his leaving the state of Kentucky, deposited in the bank? If those letters went to prove the innocence of judge Innis, as we have been informed he has asserted, why has he not given them to the public? We would, with the greatest pleasure, afford them a place in one of our numbers of the Spanish conspiracy, which would much more effectually establish the purity and patriotism of his honor, than any prosecution which he might raise against the Western World.
As our information was not all before us at the commencement of the investigation of the Spanish conspiracy, we have not been enabled to write with that arrangement which ought to characterise a regular history; but to sketch the principal features of the plot, and to detail the facts as they come into our possession. The following is one which has been communicated to us lately. A gentleman of Scott county, having met general Wilkinson at one of the Kentucky elections, at which the gen. was a candidate, entered into a conversation with him on the subject of going under the Spanish government, having previously understood that Wilkinson was desirous of this important change taking place. He therefore took general Wilkinson aside to receive satisfactory information as to his sentiments, before he would give his vote. The general after a little hesitation confessed his opinion, that it would be most for the interest of Kentucky to unite with Spain, upon which the gentleman from Scott told him, he should oppose him in the election. During the conversation the late colonel Sanders came up, and attacked general Wilkinson in the following terms:
"General, I understand you are going to sell us to the Spaniards." Wilkinson endeavored to evade an answer; but Sanders having repeated the question in an emphatic manner, he replied nearly in the affirmative in the presence of the gentleman from Scott and many others.
A noted agent of Wilkinson was a man of the name of Joseph Ballenger, by character a desperado. This man was employed by him in various trips down the Mississippi, and in excursions among the Indians, but for what purpose, he and Wilkinson probably only know. We can, however, in a degree, judge of the nature of his embassies, from the consequences which followed. In the year 1789, soon after the treaty which was concluded between the commissioners from congress, and the several northern tribes of Indians; Ballenger was sent by Wilkinson on some business to the settlers on the north west side of the Ohio. A few weeks after his return, the Indians from that quarter, made an incursion into Kentucky and stole a number of horses. They were pursued by colonel —, who after a pursuit of forty miles, overtook them, killed and wounded several, and regained about thirty horses. Those who were taken seemed to be perfectly familiar with the name of Wilkinson, and regarded him as the good chief of Kentucky from whom they said they received many favors, and with whom they were always upon good terms.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. [COMMUNICATED FOR THE REGISTER.]
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Halifax, to his friend in this city dated Sept. 20, 1806.
"By some recent decrees of the court of admiralty, it now appears the judge considers the importation of enemy's colonial produce, and the exportation thereof to the mother country by the same persons, to be inadmissible."
Extract of a letter from Cadiz, dated Aug. 16, 1806.
"We have little to say on the subject of our trade, every thing being at this moment at a stand, owing to the strong expectations of a general peace in Europe. Negotiations between the courts of London and Paris are going on, and great hopes are entertained that they will be brought to a favorable issue."
"In the mean time our port continues blockaded for vessels laden with warlike stores and provisions, but quite free for those with colonial produce. Country wheat has fallen to about 4 dollars a 4 dollars 50 cents per fanague. The crops have turned out very good; but whilst the blockade continues, the prices will support themselves."
Extract of a letter, dated Montreal, Sept. 20, 1806.
Three persons have been taken in the suburbs of this town in the act of throwing off a considerable number of bank notes, chiefly I am told of the Merchants Bank of New York, and some other Banks of the United States. They say that they are extremely well executed. I am told that they have found in the house where these persons were apprehended, near fifteen thousand pound in counterfeit bills. It is reported that another set is in the country, acting in the same manner."
We are informed from a source entitled to every degree of credit, of the following singular Duel, which lately took place at Bayou Sarah. Two negro wenches (the property of Mr. Bailey Chaney) quarrelled during the absence of the family—a challenge was immediately given and accepted, they found means to procure their master's pistols, and repaired to an appointed spot, where they measured off the ground and proceeded secundum artem to obtain satisfaction from each other for the affront given. At the first fire one of the sable heroines received a ball in the shoulder, and after ineffectually endeavoring to discharge her pistol, threw it contemptuously away and the affair ended.
BALTIMORE, October 9.
A respectable house in this city has received by the Sally a letter from Mr. Murdock, in London, dated the 18th August. It does not appear that at that date, the negotiation between Great Britain and France, had assumed any decisive appearance. The opinion of Mr. M. an enlightened merchant and a well informed politician, was, that it would eventuate in a peace.
From the [Baltimore] Telegraph. FROM EUROPE.
To the politeness of captain Ashby, from London, we are indebted for London papers to the 13th of August. Captain Ashby touched at Falmouth on the 23rd of August and had papers to the 18th inclusive, but gave them to a British squadron off the Capes. We learn verbally, however that not the least hopes were entertained of peace when he left Falmouth. The people however did not seem to wish for peace proposed terms. A few miscellaneous extracts are in this day's Telegraph from our London papers.
We have also extracted a few Marine articles from a Plymouth paper, and the following sketch of the treaty between Russia and France, which have not yet been published here.
LONDON, Aug. 13.
The Hamburg Correspondent of the instant contains a letter from Amsterdam of the 29th ult. which gives the following as an outline of the reported conditions of the preliminary treaty with Russia, signed by M. D'Oubril at Paris:

There shall be friendship and good understanding between Russia and France. The Russians shall evacuate Cattaro to the French, and separate themselves from the Montenegrins. The French in like manner shall evacuate Ragusa, which will be again placed under the protection of the Porte. Both powers shall guarantee to the Porte the integrity of its dominions. France promises within a certain time after the evacuation of Cattaro, to withdraw its troops from Germany. Russia promises to use her endeavors to restore peace between France and England. Russia will employ her good offices to accommodate the disputes between Prussia and Sweden."
Such are reported on the continent, to be the leading features of the treaty alluded to. We can, however, assert, and we do on the best authority, that it contains other, and most disgraceful terms for Russia. By the preliminaries which D'Oubril signed, the barriers of Turkey and of the eastern Mediterranean sea are thrown open to France; the overthrow of the Germanic constitution is sanctioned; the interests of Naples and of all Italy are sacrificed to Bonaparte's family, and Russia is virtually shut out from all interference with the affairs of other European powers.

SPANISH MINISTER. —We beg leave to recommend to the attention of our vigorous and high spirited administration the following note written by Mr. secretary Vernon, in order of the king of England, dated the 30th September, 1699, and sent to the Spanish ambassador then resident at the court of London:
"His majesty having seen the paper which the secretary to the embassy of Spain has lately delivered, by order of your excellency, to several of the lords justices of the kingdom; his majesty has found the contents so insolent and seditious, that in resentment of so extraordinary a proceeding, and which can by no means be justified by the law of nations, he orders that you go out of his dominions precisely in eighteen days, to be counted from this notification, and that you keep in your house, without going out of the limits of it, till your departure. I am also commanded to let you know, that these are the orders of his majesty, that no writing be any more received from you, nor any of your domestics."
This statement is extracted from Prior's history of his own time; and it is somewhat remarkable that the historian says not a word of the ambassador having returned for another that he would remain as long as it should suit the interest of the king his master or his own personal convenience. Nor do we hear of his having remained for a twelve month after, in the exercise of his ministerial functions without any means being adopted to enforce the order thus peremptorily given. We are not even informed that the ambassador of his Catholic majesty would receive no orders except from the king his master! How much better these things are managed in our days, and in this our republican government, where the rulers know how to maintain the rights and dignity of the people. A minister here, instead of sneaking home merely because he is ordered away by the government for what they are pleased to consider as insolent and seditious conduct, puts his fist in their faces and tells them, that he will go when it suits his own convenience; and they, to show their magnanimity and moderation, agree to the proposition; upon which his court furnish him with a confirmation of his credentials, commend him for his faithful services, and then he informs the government that it will not suit his convenience to go at all. How fortunate it is that we have not a Washington or an Adams to tyrannize over us, and sport with our tranquility! Had one of them ordered away a minister, he would very probably have insisted on his going; and in that way might have enraged the court of Spain, and perhaps Bonaparte might have got his back up too. Now they feel as much kindness and respect for us as a master does for his Spaniel, who instead of snarling and biting when he is caressed and kicked, meekly lies down and licks the foot by which he is spurned.

The circumstances of her case have confounded the philosophers, and left her no credit with men accustomed to scientific reasoning. Learning hesitates, because it wants principles to explain; ignorance decides at once, because it knows not the variety of undiscovered principles which exist.
The case of this woman is, that of a confusion of all the senses—of seeing, smelling, hearing, touching, tasting. The quality of one sense seems transferred to another; there is a kind of organic confusion and substitution; the eyes do duty for the ears, the taste for the eyes, and the touch for the taste.
A very learned physician, a writer in the Journal de Sante, gives an account of having visited this woman at Lyons:
"To believe in apparent impossibilities (he says) is often the necessity of men of science; but it is their good fortune like-wise to discover that the world contains many more miracles than is first imagined, and that nothing is impossible, as referred to the Omnipotence of the Deity, and that impossibilities are much rarer in the combinations of human life than the vanity of science will acknowledge."
"This woman whom I visited, and to whom I presented several sorts of medicine, powders, simple, compounds, and many other substances which I am convinced she never saw before, told me their several tastes, as nearly and with as much precision, as taste could pronounce. She described them, indeed, with astonishing exactness, and frequently when my own palate was confounded."
"Her eyes were next bound with a thick bandage, and I drew from my pocket several sorts of silk ribbands. All these that differed in the original colors she immediately told me. It was in vain to attempt puzzling her, she made no mistake; she passed the ribband merely through her hand and immediately decided on its peculiar color. She could, in fact, discover, the quality of any thing by the touch or taste, as accurately as I could know with my eyes."
"The organs of hearing were then closed as well as the contrivance of stuffing the ears could answer the purpose. I then commenced a conversation with a friend in the apartment and spoke in almost an inaudible whisper. She repeated with great power of memory, every word of the conversation. In short, I came away a convert; in other words I believed what I had seen. A philosopher knows the fallibility of the senses; but he should know likewise, that science ought not to reject because it cannot have demonstration. We must admit miracles, or we must question almost all the appearances of nature. Ignorance doubts what, if it choose, it may easily understand; science endeavors to comprehend and when it cannot it submits to the sense."
Singular escape of a French prisoner. —A French seaman having lately eluded the vigilance of the guard at Chatham, where he was confined, and reached the neighborhood of Broadstairs, was in the course of a few days apprehended, and put on board a vessel at that place, to be carried to his former confinement. As he had shown great desperation and ingenuity in effecting his escape in the first instance, it was thought advisable to place a guard over him on board, by way of effectual security; night, however, being pretty far advanced before the vessel could sail, the Frenchman, who was permitted to remain on deck, stretched himself with great presence of mind at full length and pretended to snore loudly that he was fast asleep. The centinel, being thus put off his guard, seated himself, naturally enough at the dead of night, and soon fell fast asleep in good earnest. The prisoner, who was on the watch the whole time, finding that he had thus completely ensnared the soldier, quickly jumped up, and first robbing the poor fellow of two seven shilling pieces and his watch, then let himself down in a small boat from the stern and got safely on shore. The three or four hands belonging to the vessel, which was a small coaster, coming up soon afterwards to prepare for sailing, awoke the centinel, who then discovered, as may be supposed, with astonishment, both the escape of the prisoner and his robbery. Every search was made for him, of course, in the morning, and during the whole day, but to no purpose; it was believed, therefore, that he had endeavored to arrive at some other part of the coast, from which he might cut out a vessel and get over to France. Instead of quitting the neighborhood of Broadstairs, however, he lurked about in the corn fields till night, when he returned and boarded a fishing smack, in
which it is now ascertained he effected his escape to Dunkirk. If he had gone in any other vessel he must have been taken, our pilots say, by the armed coasters, or have fallen in with some of our squadrons which would not suffer any other description of vessel to pass through them, but, in the fishing season, the smacks and little coasters are allowed full range, without molestation, in consequence of which indulgence, he finally accomplished his hazardous object: on the whole, it must be acknowledged that he evinced uncommon sagacity, promptitude and decision of character, under all the difficulties which he had to encounter.
The following singular occurrence lately took place. Three drovers, a father and his two sons, called at the house of a farmer, not far from the village of Fairfield, in Berkshire, for the purpose of taking some of his cattle to London. Here they partook of some refreshment, which chiefly consisted of duck eggs; very soon after they were seized with a violent illness, were put to bed, and died before the next morning. The apothecary of the adjoining village made enquiry as to the food they had eaten, and on finding they had eat duck eggs, he immediately gave directions that the pond to which the farmstead ducks resorted should be searched; this was done, and a load of the enormous weight of seven pounds was found at the bottom of the pond. Some more of the duck eggs that had not been used were examined, and black spots were observed inside the yolk; and one of the eggs was given to a dog, which caused its death in a very short time. The eggs must have been impregnated by the spawn of the toad.

Otto of Roses. —The produce of Attar, or Essential Oil of Roses, obtained at the new plantation and manufactory at Wendsworth, is stated by the reverend Mr. Butcher at 2 oz. 2 drms. from 100 bushels or 600 lbs. of roses. This produce, if genuine, greatly exceeds any obtained from the most successful operations in India. Colonel Polier, who, some years since, had 13 acres under roses, never obtained more than 2 drms. per 100 lbs. of flowers. In many parts of Asia the rasings of sandal wood, and in others (in Cashmere particularly) sweet scented grass are used, to increase the quantity of attar; but it is, consequently, less pure. The attar, or otto, is the cream, or scum, which floats on the rose water when it cools after distillation.

Remarkable Dream of an Italian Musician.
TARTINI, a celebrated musician, who was born at Pirano, in Istria, being much inclined to music in his early youth, dreamed one night that he had made a compact with the devil, who promised to be at his service: and during this vision every thing succeeded according to his mind; his wishes were prevented not, and his desires always surpassed by the assistance of his new servant. At last, he imagined that he presented the devil with his violin, in order to discover what kind of a musician he was; when to his great astonishment, he heard him play a solo so singularly beautiful, and which he executed with such superior taste and precision, that it surpassed all the music which he had ever heard or conceived in his life. So great was his surprize, and so exquisite was his delight upon this occasion, that it deprived him of the power of breathing. He awoke, with the violence of his sensation, and instantly seized his fiddle in hopes of expressing what he had just heard, but in vain: he however then composed a piece which is perhaps the best of all his works; he called it the Devil's Sonata, but it was so far inferior to what his sleep had produced, that he declared he had broken his instrument, and abandoned music forever, if he could have found any other means of subsistence.
