RUNAWAY NEGRO.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, early in July, a negro man named GRESHAM. He is about 35 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 free man. 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.]
We shall divert the attention of our readers a little in this number from general Wilkinson and John Brown, to his honor judge Sebastian. It has been related that Sebastian, after a two year's residence in New Orleans, while a judge of the Kentucky court, returned in 1799. Soon after his return he formed a project, in company with Dr. John Watkins, the present mayor of New Orleans, to draw a number of the Kentucky settlers into Louisiana, doubtless, in our opinion, with the design of rendering the connection between this state and the Spanish provinces more intimate, and thus paving the way for his friend Wilkinson, more easily to effect the desired junction. The following is a verbatim copy of the original plan drafted for this purpose, which has been afforded us by one of the members of the company, for the purpose of publication. This member had unwittingly subscribed his name to the proposals, along with many others, without reflecting on the evil consequences which must have flowed to the state of Kentucky from the treasonable scheme if it had succeeded. With regard to doctor Watkins, it is proper to observe, that at this period he was a young man just returned from his studies at the university of Edinburgh, and therefore, may be supposed to have entered upon this embassy from his honor judge Sebastian to his Catholic majesty; in a great measure from motives of curiosity. But what possible apology can be made for a judge of the Kentucky court of appeals, setting on foot a plan for "the encouragement and accommodation of adventurers" in Louisiana when a subject to Spain.
"We the subscribers impressed with a belief that one of the navigable rivers of Upper Louisiana, is extremely desirable on account of the temperature of the climate, the fertility of the soil, and convenience of its situation for commerce, have determined to make an application to his Catholic majesty for a grant of three millions of acres of land in that country, under the following regulations, viz.
1st. That the grant when obtained, shall be divided into forty-two shares, and that one third of the whole grant be reserved for the encouragement and accommodation of adventurers.
"2d. That no person subscribe for less than six shares, at one hundred dollars per share, with the liberty of disposing of as many shares as he may chuse, provided he does not dispose of the whole of his interest: and provided also, he be responsible to other subscribers for the amount of his subscription, payable at such time as they, or a majority of them, may hereafter determine.
"3d. As the shares will be disposed of by the subscribers, whom they personally know, and have confidence in; and as the transference of shares to strangers may be productive of confusion and inconvenience, and will also have the appearance of speculation, which should be studiously avoided, no sharer shall be permitted to sell, or any manner dispose of his share, without the consent and approbation of the company, or a majority of them, given in a corporate capacity—and to the end that every sharer may be known to the company, each subscriber shall, on or before the 15th day of July, return to Dr. John Watkins, a list of the shares claimed under him.
"4th. Each subscriber does hereby bind himself to the others to use the utmost exertions to perform all such stipulations as the agent hereafter to be appointed, may find it necessary to enter into, for the obtainment of his said grant, in default of which, the whole of the interest of such persons failing, shall be forfeited, and accrue to the use and benefit of the performing subscribers."
Sebastian's name is the next to Watkins' on the original list; but it having been suggested to the judge, that it would be more prudent for a person in his situation to have his share entered in some other name, he therefore, in the list which was afterwards drawn up, entered his share in the name of Andrew Watkins. The company being completed, Mr. Watkins set off for Madrid; but being an unexperienced traveller in Spain, like Gil Blas, he was ensnared by a band of robbers, who robbed him both of all his money, and a number of letters which were necessary for his introduction to the levee of his Catholic majesty. This unfortunate circumstance delayed his application to the Spanish court until it was too late—Louisiana having afterwards been ceded to France. The doctor therefore returned; Sebastian was frustrated in his intentions; and the members of the company lost the money which they had subscribed.
ish court until it was too late—Louisiana having afterwards been ceded to France. The doctor therefore returned; Sebastian was frustrated in his intentions; and the members of the company lost the money which they had subscribed.
In the first part of this number we briefly mentioned the company which was formed under the firm of Hall and Co. for monopolizing all the Green river lands. We shall now notice the part which John Brown then a member of the senate of the United States from Kentucky; acted in this association.
For the better understanding the partnership of this company, we copy the articles of agreement as stated in a pamphlet of Elisha J. Hall, the agent of the company.
"Articles of agreement made the 10th day of September, 1795, between Wade Hampton, John Hall, Gideon Denison, Wilson Carey Nicholas, & Elisha J. Hall, John Brown, James Brown, John Breckenridge, George Nicholas, and Harry Innes.
"Whereas, the above named company, have it in contemplation, and finally agreed to make application to the legislature of the state of Kentucky at their next meeting for a grant of certain vacant territory, and having full faith and confidence in each other, we the subscribers do solemnly enter into the contract on the following terms, to wit: 1st, that Elisha J. Hall is hereby appointed our agent, and that he shall proceed immediately to the state of Kentucky, and shall take with him certain instructions directed to James Brown, George Nicholas, John Breckenridge, Henry Innes, and Elisha J. Hall. 2d. The lands that may be secured by our agents to be divided into ten equal shares; five of which shares to be the property of Wade Hampton, John Hall, Gideon Denison, Wilson C. Nicholas, and Elisha J. Hall, each one share; and the said parties to be known in this contract by the name of the Eastern Proprietors. The other five shares to be the property of John Brown, James Brown, George Nicholas, John Breckenridge, and Harry Innes, each one share; and that the last mentioned parties shall be known by the name of the Western Proprietors."
W. HAMPTON, (L. s.) J. HALL, (L. s.) G. DENISON, (L. s.) W. C. NICHOLAS, (L. s.) E. J. HALL, (L. s.)
The company having however failed in their object in 1795, all the Kentucky members relinquished the association excepting the Browns, who joined a new conspiracy for the same purpose in the spring of 1796. The Browns, viz. John and James, appear to be the most active leaders of the conspiracy. The character of James cannot be better described than in the words of Mr. Hall in a letter to him, dated 27th March 1797; "When the sacred character of our venerable president Washington, the pride of mankind, the boast of our country that gave him birth, and at present the most splendid luminary of virtue and wisdom that ever irradiated human nature; when this illustrious chief, whose fame is almost in contact with immortality itself, was insolently attacked by you in my presence, at judge Innes's table, of this state, in 1795, when you declared your belief that the president had taken money out of the treasury which he was not entitled to receive, and that he and Mr. Hamilton divided the spoil: When the white robes of female virtue and innocence were insulted by your falsehood, and attempted to be sullied by the foulness of your poisoned tongue; and even the tender ties of consanguinity itself form no barrier to the malevolence of his heart, shall I be surprised when you vainly attempt to injure me." The occasion of Hall addressing this letter to James Brown was owing to James and John refusing to pay him their proportion of the expenses, after the company had failed in their application to the legislature. Mr. Hall says to Brown "At that time I preferred a small loss to an altercation; but your refusal to pay the balance convinces me that to submit to one imposition is the surest way of becoming subject to another, and that it is now time that I should investigate your claim to any part of my warrant."
With respect to the slanderous attack made on the character of the illustrious Washington at the table of Harry Innes; this is not at all astonishing when it is remembered that they were well satisfied at this period that Washington was acquainted with the treasonable intentions of the Spanish association, and was watching with a guardian eye the liberties of America.
The following paragraph, copied from the American Museum for February 1798, volume 5th, page 208, fully demonstrates
that the intention of John Brown was known in Philadelphia:
"Alexandria, January 22d."
"By information received from Kentucky we learn that many of the principal people of that district are warmly in favor of a separation from the union, and contend that it is injurious to the interests of that country to be connected with the Atlantic states. This idea, so pregnant with mischief to America, is said to be much cherished by intelligence carried there by Mr. Brown, member of congress, to this effect: That he had the strongest assurance from the Spanish ambassador that on such a declaration Spain would cede to them the free navigation of the Mississippi, and give them every support and encouragement in her power."
That our readers may be better able to judge of the situation of Kentucky in 1788, of the wishes of her thinking and patriotic citizens, we present them with the address of the convention held at Danville the 10th of November, 1788, to congress, as likewise the address to the general assembly of Virginia, which addresses, it is to be recollected, were opposed by all the members of the Spanish conspiracy.
"Address of the convention of Kentucky to the United States in congress assembled."
"The people of Kentucky, represented in convention, as freemen, as citizens, and as part of the American republic, beg leave by this humble petition to state their rights, and call for protection in the enjoyment of them."
"Fathers, Fellow Citizens, and the Guardians of our rights,"
"As we address you by the endearing appellation of fathers we rely on your paternal affection to hear us; we rely on your justice as men and citizens, to attend to the wrongs done to men and citizens, and as a people recognised by the solemn acts of the union, we look for protection to the federal head."
"When peace had secured to America that sovereignty and independence for which she had so nobly contended, we could not retire with our Atlantic friends to enjoy the ease and blessings of freedom."
"Many of us expended, in the struggle for our country's rights, that property which would have enabled us to possess a competence with our liberty. On the western waters the commonwealth of Virginia possessed a fertile but uninhabited wild. In this wilderness we sought, after having procured liberty for our posterity, to provide for their support. Inured to hardships by a long warfare, we ventured into almost impenetrable forests, without bread or domestic cattle, we depended on the casual supplies afforded by the chase. Hunger was our familiar attendant, and even our unsavory meals were made upon the wet surface of the earth, with the cloak defoliated canopy for our covering. Though forced to pierce the thicket, it was not in safety we trod. The wild savage thirsting for blood, lurked in our paths and seized the unsuspecting hunter. Whilst we lamented the loss of a friend, a brother, a father, a wife, a child became a victim to the barbarian tomahawk. Instead of consolation a new and greater misfortune deadened the sense of former afflictions. From the union we receive no support, but we impeach not your justice. Ineffectual treaties, often renewed and as often broken by the savage nations, served only to supply them with the means of our destruction. But no human cause could controul that providence which had destined this western country to be the seat of a civilized and happy people. The period of its accomplishment was distant, but it advanced with rapid and incredible strides. We derived strength from our falls and numbers from our losses. The unparalleled fertility of our soil made grateful returns far disproportioned to the slight labor which our safety would permit us to bestow. Our fields and herds afford us not only sufficient support for ourselves but also for the emigrants who annually double our numbers, and even a surplus remains for exportation. This surplus would be far greater, did not a narrow policy shut up our navigation and discourage our industry."
"In this situation we call for your attention, we beg you to trace the Mississippi from the ocean, survey the innumerable rivers which water your western territory, and pay their tribute to its greatness, examine the luxuriant soil which those rivers traverse; Then we ask can the God of wisdom and nature have created that vast country in vain? Was it for nothing that he blessed it with a fertility almost incredible? Did he not provide those great streams which empty into the Mississippi, and by it communicate with the Atlantic, that other nations might enjoy with us,
the blessings of our fruitful soil? View the country and you will answer for yourselves. But can the presumptuous madness of man imagine a policy inconsistent with the immense designs of the Deity? Americans cannot. As it is the natural right of the inhabitants of this country to navigate the Mississippi, so they have also a right derived from treaties and national compacts. By the treaty of peace concluded in the year seventeen hundred and sixty-three, between the crowns of Great Britain, France and Spain, the free navigation of the Mississippi was ascertained to Great Britain. The right thus ascertained exercised by the subjects of that crown until the peace of 1783, and conjointly with them by the citizens of the United States. By the treaty in which Great Britain acknowledges the independency of the United States, she also ceded to them the free navigation of the Mississippi. It was a right naturally and essentially annexed to the possession of this western country as such it was claimed by America, and it was upon that principle she obtained it. Yet the court of Spain who possesses the country at the mouth of the Mississippi, have obstructed your citizens in the enjoyment of that right."
"If policy is the motive which actuates political conduct, you will support us in this right and thereby enable us to assist the support of government. If you will be really our fathers, stretch forth your hands to save us. If you would be worthy guardians defend our rights. We are a member that would exert any muscle for your service. Do not cut us off from your body; by every tie of consanguinity and affection, by the remembrance of the blood which we have mingled in the common cause, we conjure you to procure our right—May your councils be guided by wisdom and justice, and may your determination be marked with decision and effect. Let not beneficence be circumscribed by the mountains which divide us. But let us feel that you are really the guardian and asserters of our rights—Then you would secure the prayers of a people whose gratitude would be as warm as their vindication of their rights will be eternal—Then our connection shall be perpetuated to the last times, a monument of your justice and a terror to your enemies."
"Danville, Nov. 10, 1788."
Address of the convention of Kentucky to the honorable the general assembly of Virginia.
"The representatives of the people inhabiting the several counties composing the district of Kentucky, in convention met, beg leave again to address you on the great and important subject of their separation from the parent state, and being a member of the federal union."
"To report the causes which impel the inhabitants of this district to continue their application for a separation, will in our opinion be unnecessary; they have been generally acknowledged and patronized in former assemblies, and met the approbation of that august body, whose consent was necessary toward the final completion of this desirable object, and who resolved that the measure was expedient and necessary, but which from their peculiar situation they were unable to decide on."
"As happiness was the object which first dictated the application for a separation so it has continued the ruling principle in dictating the good people of Kentucky to that great end, upon constitutional terms—and they conceive the longer that measure is delayed the more will they be exposed to the merciless savage, or (which is greatly to be feared) anarchy with all the concomitant evils attending thereon."
"Being fully impressed with these ideas and justified by frequent examples, we conceive it our duty as freemen, from the regard we owe to our constituents, and being encouraged by the resolutions of congress, again to apply to your honorable body, praying that an act may pass at the present session for enabling the good people of Kentucky district to obtain a vote for a new government and be admitted into the confederation as a member of the federal union, upon such terms and conditions as to you may appear just and equitable; and that you transmit such act to the president of this convention with all convenient dispatch, in order for our consideration and the final completion of this business. This we are emboldened to ask, as many causes which produced former restrictions do not now exist."
"Firmly relying on the justice and liberality of your honorable house, so often experienced, and which we are ever bound to acknowledge, we again solicit the friendly interposition of the parent state with the congress of the United States for the speedy admission of the district into the federal"

union, and also to urge that honorable body, in the most express terms to take the most effectual measures for procuring the inhabitants of this district the free navigation of the river Mississippi; without which the situation of a large part of the community will be wretched and miserable, and may be the source of future evils."
A copy. Teste,
THOMAS TODD, c. c.
Such were the energetic addresses that displeased Wilkinson and his associates. The Spanish conspirators wished for no immediate declaration of independence, and alliance with Spain, as a preparatory step to receive on their necks the yoke of the haughty Don. Mr. Brown wrote many other letters to his confidential friends in Kentucky, besides the two addressed to M c Dowell and Muter. He sent several by a captain C——, of Danville, but dreading the consequences of his communication being too public, he wrote to capt. C—— while on his road to Kentucky, not to deliver them.
While the negotiations between Wilkinson and Giozo and Brown and Gardoqui were pending, one of a similar nature was carrying on between the late general Elijah Clark, of Georgia, and his excellency don Zespones, the governor of St. Augustine, for the separation of the state of Georgia from the union. General Clark himself was extremely illiterate and scarcely able to write, but was a character of strong mind and natural powers, and he corresponded through the medium of several of his acquaintances, with some of the principal conspirators in Kentucky, particularly with judge —— and colonel ——.
A leading agent of don Zespones and general Clark in business was the celebrated Indian chief Alexander M c Gillivray, king of the Creek nation, for which purpose he received a general's commission from the crown of Spain, and the privilege of granting passports for the free navigation of that part of the Gulf of Mexico, on which the old fort of St. Mark is situated. Wilkinson had likewise received the same privilege of granting passports to the Kentuckians for navigating the Mississippi, and it is stated that on the 16th of January, 1789, a fleet of twenty-five large boats with tobacco, flour and provisions passed Louisville for New Orleans under his protection. Immediately on their arrival, their cargoes were deposited in the public warehouse of his Catholic majesty, a privilege granted to none but those who had taken the oath of allegiance to Spain. If any Kentuckian in those days ventured down the Mississippi without being under the protection of Wilkinson, or having a passport from him, his cargo, of whatever species it might be, whether tobacco or flour, was certain of being seized.
But to return to M c Gillivray; in connection with several of the Georgian merchants who advocated an union with Spain; he established warehouses at St. Mark, and carried on a regular trade with the Spaniards, from the benefit of which all the other Georgians were expressly prohibited. Thus he and Wilkinson, although private individuals, had actually concluded with the government of Spain, through the governors don Zespones and don Mero, treaties of navigation and commerce.
It will also be recollected, that when the unfortunate encounter between col. Armstrong and the Spaniards at Natchez in 1787, exposed our countrymen at New Orleans to every mark of disgrace; Wilkinson and his friends were treated with the same attention as ever, and those Kentuckians who produced their passports, were equally secure as Spanish subjects.
It was mentioned in the first part of this number that the articles of agreement between Sebastian, Dr. Watkins, & co which we published, were a copy of the original plan drafted by Sebastian and Wilkinson; we have, however, been since informed from unquestionable authority, that it was not the original plan, but the second which was drawn up. The first was conceived in terms much more treasonable: it ran nearly as follows:
"We the subscribers being discontented with the government of the United States, and wishing to live under a mild and permanent government, petition his Catholic majesty, &c."
Numbers were justly disgusted with this monarchical phraseology, and immediately declined all connection with the plan, and unless the scheme had been exchanged for one couched in other terms, his honor judge Sebastian would probably have been left alone on the list.
Individuals who hold no public office in the United States have certainly a right to expatriate themselves whenever they think
fit; but not to influence others, as his honor judge Sebastian did. The act in him, whenever we consider the important station which he filled, was one of the deepest die, and unless he be impeached by the legislature, neither justice will be awarded to him or to the country.
The conspirators, we are well assured, not only corresponded with the Georgians upon the scheme of separation from the union, but also with the citizens of Vermont. They doubtless fancied that could these states be prevailed upon to follow their example and form an alliance with Spain, that the whole union might in time be subject to the Spanish monarchy. Here, therefore, we can foresee a principal source of opposition which was made to the federal constitution.
The conspirators had agents in all the different states, and although their intentions were certainly not known to all the members of those legislatures who were unfriendly to the union, yet under many pretexts they contrived to influence their minds against the adoption of the constitution.
In the various pamphlets and addresses published by the democratic societies of the western country and the southern states at that period, there appear traces of secret agents and secret plans, not developed to the people, but carefully concealed in hidden and mysterious language.
The blessings attendant on the independence of the several states are always depicted in the most glowing colors. The dangers, broils and civil wars produced by a confederation of states are carefully exemplified by numerous instances drawn from ancient history. The wealth and riches of the Spanish colonies are magnified beyond measure. The Kentuckians were told the Spaniards paid no taxes, that they received grants of land for nothing; that they were protected in their navigation and commerce, and that the oppression & despotism under which they were said to labor was a mere fiction of the British Tories who were always opposed to every thing that was not British. The old residents of Kentucky likewise remember many harangues and orations which was made to this purpose by Wilkinson and his friends.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NASSAU, (N. P.) Sept. 2.
We regret much to have to record the unfortunate and serious disasters occasioned by one of the most violent gales of wind which has been experienced in these islands for several years; it commenced on Sunday, August 31, about 2 o'clock, A. M. from the N. E. and continued with equal violence until about the same hour in the afternoon, by which time the wind had sifted to the S. E.
The following is as correct a list as we have been able to collect of the vessels injured by the storm:
Ship Aetiel, captain Barrowdale, of Liverpool, on shore on Anthony's rock, not much injured, and supposed will be got off.
Brig ——, belonging to Mr. Geo. Johnson, loaded with salt, totally lost on Silver Key, together with her cargo.
Sch'r Diana, belonging to the same, cast on shore opposite to the Ordnance yard, and bilged.
Sch'r George and Ophelia, belonging to the same, cast on shore about 8 miles to the westward, not much injured.
Schooner Duke of Athol, belonging to Messrs. Boothe and Johnston, cast on shore on Hog Island and bilged.
Schooner Hope, belonging to the same, missing.
Sch'r Lucy, capt. Hudson, of Charleston, cast on shore about 5 miles to the westward; vessel and cargo considerably damaged.
Sch'r Admiral, Kirkland, on shore at the westward; vessel lost, her cargo, coffee, will be saved, but all damaged.
Sch'r Josefu, Villamil, prize to his majesty's brig Superior, captain Rushworth, lost, vessel totally, about a mile to the westward, part of the cargo will be saved.
Sch'r Mars, belonging to Mr. Henry Richards, cast on shore to the westward of the town, damaged.
Sch'r Duchess of Athol, belonging to Mr. Joseph Hyett, cast on shore 5 miles to the westward, supposed to be considerably injured.
Sch'r Jolly Bacchus, Jewell, detained by his majesty's schooner Redbridge, lies on shore off the western battery, not much injured.
Sloop Tamer, Thomas, belonging to the hon. Mr. Moss, was on shore a mile to the westward of the town, but got off without much damage.
Sloop Brothers, Turner, belonging to Samuel Mackay, Esq. returning from a wrecking voyage, struck upon the south west reef, supposed to be totally lost.
Five Spanish licenced vessels on shore along the bay.
Sloop Experiment, belonging to the hon. Mr. Moss, was drove out to sea from the south west bay.
The George & Lovely Lass, belonging to Mr. George Johnson, much injured by vessels running foul of her.
Sch'r Speedwell, Yellowley, returning from New York, experienced a severe gale at sea, about 11 days ago, which carried her mainmast by the board; caused her much other damage, and obliged the crew to keep continually pumping, arrived off the bar on Saturday evening, but from her distressed situation was unable to make the harbor—the same night, in the gale she was cast on shore on North's Key, when the vessel immediately sunk and with the greatest difficulty the captain and crew were enabled to save their lives. There were on board of her a number of letters and packages for this place.
We are sorry to state, that besides the above related injuries done to the properties of individuals by the storm, the lives of 3 negroes, belonging to the hon. Mr. Moss, were lost, by the boat swamping, in attempting to reach the shore from the sloop Experiment.
It is with pleasure we mention the following circumstance to pay the tribute so justly due to the activity and humanity of captain John Henderson, one of the Branch pilots, who at the imminent risk of his life, ventured upon the bar with his boat, to the assistance of a gentleman who had been carried away in a small boat, and who would without such timely assistance, inevitably have fallen a victim to the fury of the waves.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1.
Extract of a letter from Capt. William Prentiss, master of the brig Triton, belonging to Portland, to a gentleman in that town, dated Antigua, August 24. 1806.
"Sir—I think it my duty to acquaint you of a new principle they have adopted in this port for condemning American property. The case of the brig Triton, was determined yesterday. Vessel and cargo condemned, for going to Barbadoes, there disposing of timber to the amount of 3,000 dollars in bills and cash; from thence to Martinico, and there disposed of the rest of her cargo or produce. Also purchased produce with the cash & bills. The council contended for condemnation, on the grounds of its being a circuitous voyage, and upon that construction of the case, the court gave judgment for the captors."
The ship Adriana, Captain Ricketson, left Liverpool on the 8th of August; of course brings nothing later than we had previously received. It was a pretty general opinion there, as the passengers inform us, from the frequent interchanges of couriers, that the preliminaries of Peace between Great Britain and France, were on the eve of being adjusted. New-York Mer. Ad.
A letter from our correspondent at New-York states, that in the ship Columbus, Captain Clifton, arrived there on Thursday from Cadiz, came passenger, an officer belonging to a Spanish regiment of dragoons, who informs, that his regiment was embarked and would sail the first opportunity for Louisiana, which country his government intended to resume.
