The Kentucky Spanish Association, Blount's Conspiracy, and General Miranda's Expedition.
[CONTINUED.]
The intention and desire in 1802 were to take possession of Louisiana by force of arms; and having once the command of an army to erect all the western territories into what form of government as might best please the fancy of the leaders. But the apology which they make speaks for itself. It is the concluding paragraph of the number of Coriolanus published in the Chronicle, December 23d, 1802.
To think of separating from the union, must no doubt produce very painful sensations, but what else will be left for them? What must be their decision when the French governor of New Orleans offers them the freedom of navigation, if they will consider themselves as part of his establishment and consent to be enrolled as dependant provinces of Louisiana? Will not the same spirit which unfolded itself in a late meeting of the people of that district when convened to form a constitution, again break out, and utter sentiments hostile to the combined interests of our country, and insulting to our government? It will, and the people will have no other alternative left. They must, however painful the task, join the detached consular government, for the purpose of obtaining that trade, which will be refused them as citizens of the United States, but which will be granted to them as members of the district of Louisiana. The western boundary of the United States will then be the Alleghany mountains and the secretary of the treasury may begin to make new fiscal calculations for the payment of the national debt, to make good the defalcations arising from the cismemberment of the United States; the money arising from the sale and future settlement of the Yazoo, Georgia and Kentucky district, will then flow into the military chest of the first consul of France, and not into the treasury of the United States as has been wisely and originally arranged."
In the Morning Chronicle of the 18th February, 1803, Coriolanus sketches the plan of the military force which he recommends to congress should be raised for taking possession of Louisiana, and a very pretty military force it was, to be entrusted to general Wilkinson; not less than a forty-three thousand, one hundred and sixty rank and file! In imitation of the emperor Napoleon, he styles them "National legions." Here follows the plan of the legions.
"The general and staff of a complete legion, embracing the necessary component parts of an army, should consist of one brigadier general, two aid-de-camps, with the rank of majors, one inspector and adjutant general, with the rank of colonel commandant, one quarter-master with the rank of lieutenant colonel, one commissary, one paymaster and clothier, with the rank of captain, one judge advocate, one chaplain, one surgeon, two mates."
"Two full legionary regiments to consist of two colonel commandants, two aids to rank as captains, four lieutenant-colonels, eight majors, thirty-two second lieutenants, four adjutants, with the rank of first lieutenants, four serjeant majors, four quarter master serjeants, one hundred and sixty non-commissioned officers, two signal trumpets, and two signal bugle horns, mounted, four drum and fife majors, sixty drums and fife, three thousand two hundred rank and file."
"Two battalions of legionary riflemen to consist of one lieutenant colonel commandant, one adjutant with the rank of first lieutenant, two majors, eight captains, eight first lieutenants, eight second lieutenants, two serjeants, forty non-commissioned officers, one signal trumpet, two signal horns, mounted, one drum and fife major, sixteen drums and fife, eight hundred rank and file."
"Two companies of light dragoons—one major commandant, two captains, four first lieutenants, four second lieutenants, two cornets, one adjutant, on serjeant major, one quarter-master serjeant, ten non-commissioned officers, two trumpets, two bugle horns, two farriers, two saddlers, and one hundred and twenty-eight dragoons."
"Two companies of artillery, one major, two captains, two captain lieutenants, four lieutenants, one adjutant, one serjeant major, one quarter-master serjeant, ten serjeants, four drums and fife, twenty-four artificers armed as infantry, one hundred and four matrosses, eight brass six pounders, four 6 3/4 inch howitzers carriage carriages, four grasshoppers, two travelling forges, four ammunition waggons, and two light tumbrils."
"One company of sappers and miners, competent to the duty of field engineers."
"One captain, two captain lieutenants, two lieutenants."
"One cadet, five serjeants, one drum and fife, sixty-four rank and file—one wagon with entrenching tools."
Coriolanus, in the Chronicle of January 1st, 1803, exclaims,
"Where is the spirit of seventy-six?— Where have our patriots and heroes fled? Will our government commit itself in the first instance to cob-web negotiations, to a flimsy faith, when an event, when a revolution as extraordinary as that of France itself is under issue."
"Let us rouse at once, and at the head of our existing troops, possess New Orleans and Mobile, then we shall be in a situation to negotiate."
In another paragraph dated 27th Dec. 1802, Coriolanus says, "Kentucky has the advantage of invasion; and she no doubt will use it, if unsupported by the union; she moves alone to the combat; she is situated on waters rapidly descending to the point of attack; she will overwhelm New Orleans and West Florida with promptitude and ease; she will move like the northern hordes of Europe overwhelming the German empire; she will conquer, colonize and firmly settle and transmit the soil to her latest posterity. If unaided by the troops and navy of the union, she will conquer by and for herself, and no power can prevent, check, or even disturb her conquest."
THE JUSTEST PORTRAIT OF NAPOLEON BONAPARTE THAT EVER WAS EXHIBITED.
EXTRACT.
Difficult indeed is the task of drawing such a portrait in genuine colors, and of tracing its features by the lineaments of impartiality and truth. Few men, if any, exist without particular predilections and aversions; which, when applied to national or personal competitions, render a fair and candid appreciation still more difficult. The author, who has probably portrayed his character with the greatest success, is an Englishman in Paris, Mr. Thomas Holcroft, who married a French lady, and resided a considerable time on the spot. His delineations in many respects, bespeak the hand of a master; and where his coloring is defective, it may be attributed to the difficulty of portraying so extraordinary a prince with classical precision. In his "Travels from Hamburg through Westphalia, Holland and the Netherlands to Paris," from which the ensuing extract is taken, he first enumerates the vices, and then the virtues of his hero.—[Fed. Gaz.]
"IT is the turn and concurrence of circumstances that give the powers of man their direction, stamp his character, and rectify him to courses of action; such even as he may have once held in abhorrence. In all the ardor of youth, when the intemperate imagination knew not where to rest, before principles had been fixed by experience, yet not till after a burning thirst of fame had been excited in him, Bonaparte found that dangerous engine, that implement of human misery, an army, at his command, and prompt to effect whatever purpose his rapid genius could conceive. He soon discovered the necessity there was to give that coloring to events that might produce the effects intended: to conceal, to deceive, to fix the attention on false points, to flatter peasants, to speak to princes in the lofty tone of menace, to spur the soldier to attack by the hopes of plunder, to hang him afterwards for the crime, to promise friendship to the vanquished, and then to raise contributions, and strip them of all they esteemed most precious; these soon became the daily occurrences of his active warfare! Oh, had his genius received another direction, had he been impelled with no less force into the paths of wisdom and benevolence, what a blessing to the world would he have been!
"In Egypt he found a race much more ignorant, more depraved, and therefore still more addicted to the arts of deceit, than in Italy; and he bent all his powers to the task of overcoming them in every manner. Could they fight? He conquered them as well in valor as in sagacity. Could they mislead and wear the mask of hypocrisy? Even in this they were not his equals. Still his mighty mind gave public proofs of the warnings and impulses it received from truth; to the man of discernment, there are passages in his state papers that show with what force it struck him; and prove his momentary grandeur of thought. To this hour, changed as he gradually has been, and loaded as his horizon is with the clouds of sullen ambition, it nevertheless occasionally emits a luminous beam. But the most fatal of all the circumstances which have unfitted him for the task he has assumed to himself, which is no less than that of governing Europe, is, that he has been habituated to the command of armies."
"I have several times, says Mr. Holcroft, been close to Napoleon; his stature is diminutive, his complexion sallow, and his physiognomy bears those marks which denote the labors of his mind; it is careworn, but it is also susceptible of great variety. From his abstrusious complexion, cholera might be certainly predicted; but from the sedateness of his eye, not of that sudden and impetuous kind to which he is so very subject. There are various
traits, public and private, that discover this mighty chief to have attempted to copy Alexander while he was in Egypt; Caesar during his Italian campaigns, and Charlemagne since he assumed the imperial purple. When traversing the sands of Egypt and Syria, he did not forget the Lybian deserts; Alexander was then his model. He placed a large statue of Caesar, allowed to be of excellent workmanship, fronting his apartment in the Thuilleries, that he might have it in daily contemplation. Since the addition of Helvetia and Italy to his domains, he has imitated the power of Charlemagne. To sum up with accuracy the various characters of this extraordinary personage, is a task to which few persons will find themselves adequate. There are two parties in direct contradiction to each other; and both of them equally violent in assertion. One set of them attribute to him every human excellence; in their eyes he is not a man but a deity; another will not allow that he ever possessed eminence of talent, discovered a single virtue, or performed action that can be called great.
"Let those who affirm that the sagacious Napoleon foresaw all that has been and might be accomplished; planned all that has been achieved, and with a power little less than omnipotent, insured military conquest and commanded civil triumph; let those partisans enquire whether a mind so capacious, could have been betrayed into acts, so many of which are puerile, into many more absurd, and a still greater number are malevolent and destructive.—The nature of true greatness has ever been and will be benificent. If his plans were so truly profound, would not his means be more certain, his course more even, and his end more secure? His taciturnity in private appears to be pride; but in his public acts, his selfishness is too great to demand respect. Power, such as his partisans would have the world to believe that he possesses, would better understand itself, would act in silence and strike in the dark; it would pursue the even tenor of its way, and disdain to vapor or to sooth. The excesses of the passions uniformly rob men of their sound judgment, and render them malignant and base."
"To those who will not allow the emperor of France any one great quality, what shall be answered? Let them look into history, and find under whose real or apparent command, actions so numerous and great have been performed by a man of feeble mind, irresolute in conduct, and inconsistent in his plans. Let them scrutinize the powers of the mind, and prove, if it be possible, from fact or from deduction, how it should happen in times so dreadfully contentious, that debility could obtain and preserve the rule; could conquer enemies abroad, subvert rivals in power at home, profit by foreign and intestine broils, overawe or reconcile factions, change the capricious destinies of a capricious people to that which despotism calls order, and establish a new dynasty, which, in days of ignorance, would long have continued permanent and beyond control. Truth is always found between the two extremes. Napoleon is an extraordinary man, who has lived in still more extraordinary times. The grand events of these times were many of them military; so, as it happened, was his education, and so were his propensities. Such was the fortuitous favor of circumstances, that they caused him to appear a prodigy. A first campaign elevated him to the rank of a hero, and the second showed him a God; he seemed to command events; in reality they commanded him; they were his creator."
"Early habits had powerfully occurred to fit him for the future accidents under which he became placed; and this predisposition, and these accidents, were further aided by a mind of such ardor, and of such prolific ambition, that he has been hurried through the various gradations which similar minds have travelled; and does, and will only differ from them in similarity of fate, as far as circumstances have varied and shall hereafter vary.—Sallow complexion, length of face, a pointed nose, a projecting chin, and prominent cheek bones, have distinguished the countenances of fanatics and persecutors. Fanatics and persecutors were often men of powerful minds, but violent passions; and between such men and the emperor of France, allowing for times and circumstances, in physiognomy, in talents, and in manner of acting, there is a great resemblance."
Literary Intelligence.
R U S S I A.
In a periodical work published at Petersburg, entitled the "St. Petersburgische Monatschrift," there is a very inter-
esting article on the progress of learning and civilization in Russia, from the most remote antiquity to the time of Peter the Great.
What will particularly attract the attention, is the hope held out of recovering some of the works of the ancients, supposed to be irretrievably lost. It appears that Jarislau I. son of Walladian the Great invited to his court a number of learned Greeks, and employed them in translating into the Slavonic language, Greek works, the original of which were deposited in the church of St. Sophia. Constantine was so great a lover of the sciences, that he collected more than one thousand Greek manuscripts, several of which he caused to be translated and distributed to the schools in his dominions. Alexis Michaelowitz, wishing to compare the Slavonic versions of the books used in the churches, with the originals, caused to be purchased, in Greece, and particularly at Mount Athos, about 500 MSS. which are still preserved in the library of the Synod at Moscow. Even allowing that the last mentioned collection consists of copies of the Holy Scriptures, and of the fathers; yet it may reasonably be conjectured, that this was not the case with the 1000 MSS. collected by Constantine; and it may be asked, what is become of those presented by him to the schools; and whether the still more numerous collection of Jarislau I. has not remained at the church of St. Sophia. It is to be hoped that all the convents of Russia will be called upon to furnish a catalogue of their libraries, by which means we may flatter ourselves to bring to light some precious remains of ancient Greek literature.
SPAIN.
A work has lately been published at Madrid, which will undoubtedly be deemed worthy of the attention of the learned of other parts of Europe. It is entitled, "Alphabet of the primitive language of Spain, and an explication of the most ancient monuments thereof, in inscriptions & coins." This work will throw new light on the literary history of Spain, by furnishing a key to a great number of monuments which had hitherto been deemed inexplicable. It will prove that the Biscayan language was, during a certain period, the language of all Spain, and that in which the inscriptions on these monuments were written. It will show likewise that the Spaniards, instead of having been, as is generally believed, altogether without literary culture till the arrival of the Phoenicians, were an enlightened people several centuries before that epoch; and that even the Greeks were indebted to them for the elements of civilization. Such, at least, are the assertions of the Spanish antiquary Don Juan de Errory Azpiroz; how far they are founded in truth must be left to the decision of the learned of Europe.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25.
Letters were received in town yesterday from Boston announcing the arrival there of the ship New Galen from London, with intelligence to the 4th of September, at which time the expectation of lord Lauderdale's speedy return to England, and the prospect of continued war, had caused a great depression of the stocks. Mr. Fox, it is added, had experienced a relapse, and was so unwell that little hopes were entertained of his surviving more than three or four days.
[N. York pap.]
The ship Ocean, Girdon, from Bordeaux, is below. Left the city the 11th and the Cordovan 17th September. Captain Girdon informs that the emperor of Russia had refused his sanction to the treaty made by his minister, D'Oubril, at Paris, and that lord Lauderdale still remained at Paris.
[Phil. pap.]
Extract of a letter from an officer belonging to the expedition under gen. Miranda, to his brother in N. York, dated Island of Aruba, 7 leagues west of Curacoa, August 23d, 1806.
We arrived here on the 16th inst. all in good health. We left Trinidad the 24th July, in company with the Lilly sloop of war, capt. Campbell, who acts as commodore in the expedition, his majesty's brigs Express and Attentive, and the sch. Provost, two gun boats, carrying each a 24 pounder, and an American brig with provisions and our own ship the Leader. The armed vessels under the commodore were dispatched by admiral Cochrane to assist us. The Sunday following, we passed at 10 o'clock in the morning, we passed a long close to the Spanish island of Mar-

guerra. We could easily distinguish the inhabitants coming out of the church to defend the town, supposing our intention was to attack. As we passed along, the grand battery in the town fired several shot at us without effect. We kept our course until we arrived off Coche, between Margarita and the Maina, where we came to anchor that day at 3, P. M. and remained there until the next day; we then pursued our voyage until the 1st of August, when we arrived in the bay of La Vela de Coro. The Royal city of La Vela de Coro, as the Spaniards call it, is situated in the east part of the bay of that name.
We came to anchor on the west side of the bay, owing to the mistake of the pilot, in the night, 7 or 8 miles to leeward of the city. We attempted to debark at day-light next morning without success, owing to a strong head wind and a heavy sea. Our disappointment gave the inhabitants an opportunity of carrying off the public and private treasure, which was effectually done. The morning after, we landed to the number of 150, including marines and sailors, and although the town was defended by 15 pieces of artillery, 400 infantry, and some cavalry, we drove the enemy from post to post, and in half an hour the city was ours and the Columbian flag hoisted at the principal battery; we had only one man wounded, the Spanish troops were panic struck, and fired at random. The ardor and briskness of the attack quite astonished the Dons; we took 20 of the Indians prisoners, armed with bows and arrows. Our troops had been all the day before cooped up in the boat, trying to land, and were so fatigued that they could not overtake the enemy, the most of whom took their road to Coro, 12 miles S. W. of La Vela. We spent the day in debarking more troops and reconnoitring the different roads and environs of the city, and in posting centinels. About mid-night we marched for Coro with two pieces of light artillery and about two hundred and fifty troops, including sailors and marines. General Miranda hoped to surprize the enemy at break of day, before the king's treasure could be removed, but he was disappointed, for we found an empty city; the inhabitants fled to the mountains with their valuables, a few old men and women, some negroes and children, and a few tables and chairs only remained. Coro is one of the earliest built cities of Spanish America; it is regularly laid out and well built, every house is almost cannon proof; they are generally built of stone, which they cover with a white plaster, and the roofs are generally of strong heavy tiles; the city is about four miles in circumference. There is a large Cathedral in the centre square of the city, superbly ornamented with gold, it has a number of altars around it, within and over every altar is a niche containing, in colored wax, either Jesus Christ, the Virgin, or some of the Saints.
There are several other public buildings in the Religious, among them is an elegant and extensive Convent of Franciscan Friars; it was built by one of the Queens of Spain and presented to those Friars; it is called the Convent of St. Francis; it has fifteen altars magnificently inlaid with gold, and the vaulted roofs over the altars seem to be paved with golden shells; all the Friars, except two, abandoned their Convent, one of them seemed to be deprived of reason, for he took the liberty of flogging himself severely every morning. What I am about to mention would have been related more regularly in a former part of this letter, but I have too little time to think of order, and so I will say what occurs as it comes in and out of my memory.
We entered Coro so early in the morning that we could not distinguish friend from enemy, and here a melancholy scene took place: When the advanced guard, which I followed closely with the leading piece of artillery, arrived in the centre square they advanced to the prison, which they supposed was a fortified citadel, or something like it, one of the soldiers imprudently fired at a man at the prison door, whom he took to be one of the enemy, it proved to be one of our men, he was shot dead on the spot; at this moment the prisoners, clanking their chains, cried out through the grates of the prison "Vive Miranda," when the guard without the prison fired a feu de joie; at this time, still dark, the infantry was drawn up on the side of the square opposite to the prison and close in front of the cathedral, the artillery in front of the infantry in the centre of the square; and while we were unharnessing the mules from the pieces and preparing to fire upon the prison when ordered, the infantry behind us hearing the feu de joie of the advanced guard, believed the place was
defended, and without waiting for orders commenced a heavy fire at they knew not what, they wounded their commanding officer, lieutenant colonel Kirkland, they put two musket balls into him, one of which came out at the arm; he is in a fair way of recovery—they wounded two men at my gun, one close to my right side and the other as close on my left. I had the good fortune to remain unhurt amidst a shower of balls that whistled about my ears for some minutes.
After remaining four or five days at Coro, endeavoring in vain to persuade the inhabitants to return to the city, we returned to La Vela, where we waited some days for news from our friends in the interior; not receiving any, and most of the ships being in want of water, we embarked and came here to supply ourselves. In the mean time general Miranda dispatched two vessels, one to admiral Cochrane on the windward station, at Barbadoes, and another to admiral Dacres on the leeward station, at Jamaica, to inform them of our proceedings, and I believe to obtain some troops, the general having previously heard, as I learned, that the Duke of Kent had arrived with 10,000 troops at Jamaica, a part of which are destined to assist us. We have recently received information that one of Miranda's friends has a corps of 2000 men ready to join us; that Miranda is a favorite toast at Porto Cavello, when the king's partisans are not present; that songs favorable to Miranda have been composed on the occasion, and are frequently sung in the different towns of the province of Carraccas, the birth place of our general. We have also heard with great pleasure, that all the prisoners they took from us in April last, are in good health, and kindly treated in the city of St. Leon de Carraccas. We have heard that the officers were hung, and the men sent to the mines at Vera Cruz. We might have believed it, did we not know the weakness of the Spanish forces in that quarter. The fact is, they would have executed every prisoner without remorse, were it not that they feared, and with reason too, instant retaliation, and that from the hands of their own citizens. We expect in a few days to hear from admirals Cochrane and Dacres in the most favorable way, and then to leave this island for a part of the Maina, more convenient and nearer to our Spanish friends than La Vela or Coro. From all the various information we have obtained, there is now, I think, no doubt of the success of Miranda, at least in the province of Carraccas, which is one of the most rich and valuable of all the provinces in Spanish America. The frigate Galatia has just joined us; the Osprey is expected too every hour, besides some other vessels. Since we arrived here a fever has appeared among the crew of our ship; one man died last evening, and there are about 50 now sick.
How fares it with the once proud and independent states of America? Let the sons of freedom read and prepare for a trying crisis. Foreign renegades, elated with the aggrandizement of their idol Bonaparte, are now throwing off their masks and already threatening his vengeance against those who deprecate his success. That alien instrument of faction, Cheetam, exultingly warns us, in his last paper, of approaching ruin. "If he, Bonaparte, will come, says he, and drive off the scoundrels & British adherents," that is, those who would resist French and Spanish aggressions, we, continues he—"We will not fortify New York to prevent it" "Two or three thousand French troops would soon scour New York and carry off a cargo of conspirators!"
Twelve months ago, had we predicted such a publication within the United States, who would have credited us?—The threat is now made and yet Cheetam's paper is taken and patronized by thousands, and he esteemed a partisan of the dominant politics of this country.
(Boston Repertory.)
A Medal, finely executed on copper, was lately found among some human bones at Fort Washington, near Kingsbridge, on Manhattan island. It was probably in the pocket of some British officer who was killed in the battle at that place in 1786. It is in the possession of Mr. Joel Davis. It appears to have been struck in commemoration of the political struggle between the Irish house of commons and king Geo. II. relative to the appropriation of monies in the Irish treasury. The contest involved the rights of the parliament to dispose of the surplus of the revenue raised by them on their constituents, on the one part; and the prerogative of the crown to order or direct the disposal of the same, on the other. The amendments made by the
crown officers in England to a bill passed in Ireland, for the appropriation of their surplus revenue, were rejected after violent debates by a majority of five votes. On one side of the medal is the figure of a man in a large wig and robe, with the words "The Speaker and Liberty;" on the other the Hibernian harp, surmounted by a crown, with the words "The Hundred and Twenty Four Patriots of Ireland, December 17, 1753."

Mr. Editor,

The truths which it contains are intimately linked with the prosperity of our country, and if properly received may tend to the preservation of our existence as a free and independent people.

REMOVAL.
THE subscriber has removed his store to the warehouse lately occupied by Mr. Gore, two doors below Mr. Davey Davey's, where he intends to keep an assortment of the Choicest Groceries.
He has, since countless in the bosom of our country. Disorganising emissaries are wandering through our cities in search of information. They view with savage pleasure the decline of our national prosperity. They rejoice to see that unanimity which was one of the proud characteristic of America, yielding to the hateful influence of faction and of intrigue. But above all they are pleased to see a people so situated as to cherish the serpents who will one day sting them to the vitals.
It is asserted that Turbeau has offered nine hundred dollars for the establishment of a French paper in the city of New York. This offer it appears was not accepted, and for the honor of our countrymen it is hoped that it never will be. It is enough that we are cursed with men, who while they plunge the dagger in our breasts, profess the sacred principles of patriotism and humanity. It is enough that we see the enemies of our liberty basking in the sun shine of presidential patronage, and our deluded countrymen flocking to the mock standard of liberty and equality. Americans cannot support a paper established with the avowed design of disseminating the principles of anarchy and licentiousness.
It is time that we had exploded the odious distinctions of Federalist and Democrat. Honor calls on us to redress our injuries, and reason tells us that without unanimity we never can consult the instructive monuments of ancient times. Behold Greece the once proud mistress of the world degraded and destroyed! But without recurring to the annals of antiquity, behold the people to whom we are devoted. France divided and torn by a spirit of faction and discontent, fell a victim to the rapacious grasp of tyranny and ambition. Her fall has offered to the wisdom of the world an awful, and an instructive lesson. She is indeed at this moment the most powerful nation in Europe; but she is the most miserable. Her laurels are tarnished by the crimes which gained them. Her shouts of victory are mingled with the groans of oppression. Her triumphs have been great and numerous; but for them she is more indebted to art and dissimulation than to honest valor.
Fellow-Citizens! it is time to guard against the dangers which encompass us—it is time to awake from that lethargy which has almost destroyed us. We have a Philip to contend with, and must be vigilant. Let us unite in one resolution, to reject the encroachments of ambition—let us expel the wolves who prowl among us, and by a glorious struggle evince to the world, that the sparks of patriotism which inflamed the heroes of '76, are not extinguished. America, nurtured under the auspices of an indulgent Providence, must not be branded with the stigma of subjugation.
We have attained an eminence in the map of nations. We are regarded as a free and enlightened people; and most probably as the strongest barrier between ambition and universal dominion. We are, it is true, numerous and powerful: but what avails our power or our numbers, if we will not exert them! Since we have a government too economical to establish and support a naval force, our dependence must be on ourselves. Let us then, cherish a spirit of unanimity, and as brothers we will be prepared to defend each other. It is in vain to dwell on the necessity of a naval force, our government disapproves of it, and we must submit. Experience will one day teach us, that to "preserve peace, is to be prepared for war."

Runaway Negro.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, early in July, a negro man named GRESHAM. He is about 36 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 clothings, 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. Westmoreland County, Vir. } 14th September. } 20 df
Thirty Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY, from the subscriber, on Sunday night last, a negro man, named STEPHEN, who calls himself Stephen Tartan; about 35 years of age, and about 5 feet 6 inches high, strong made, broad face, high cheeks and coarse bony features—he was formerly used to work in a vessel as a cook, which he understands tolerable well, also washing and house work, which he has been accustomed to occasionally. Took with him a half worn brown broad cloth coat, a dark striped mole-skin jacket, a pair corduroy pantaloons nearly white, and a pair nankeen ditty, some white linen shirts, and an oznaburg shirt and pair of trousers, also a black fur hat, and is supposed to have other cloaths not particularly known—He is a remarkable artful fellow and will likely change his name and cloaths, and also may have got a pass.—Masters of vessels and all other persons are warned not to harbor or employ said fellow in any manner whatever.
Whosoever apprehends said fellow and secures him in any gaol within the state of Maryland or District of Columbia, so that I get him again, shall receive a reward of Twenty Dollars, if within 25 miles from home, if above that distance and within the state aforesaid, Twenty five Dollars, and if out of the state or District aforesaid, or within the city of Baltimore, the above reward and all reasonable charges if brought home.

Just received direct from the Patentees, and FOR SALE BY
JAMES KENNEDY, JUN. DRUGGIST;
The following Valuable Medicines:
Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachal Bitters.
PREPARED BY
THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for removing weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermitting Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Jaundices, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superseded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Bilious Pills.
THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, be speak their intrinsic worth. They are peculiarly efficacious in Bilious and Yellow Jaundices, Jaundices, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Bilious Cholics, Colicwicks, Female complaints, &c. The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe, that the name of Samuel Lee, jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genuine. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious Pills, or Family Physic.
The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and effect of which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colics and sudden attacks of difficulty, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headaches, colicwicks, pains in the stomach and bowels, cyanetics, diarrheas, droplets, &c. and a liberal use of my anti-bilious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle—price 25 cents a box.
Thompson's Aromatic Tooth Paste.
For the scurvy in the teeth and gums, and for whitening and preserving the teeth. It likewise takes off all disagreeable smells from the breath, which generally arises from scurvy gums and bad teeth. This paste is such in use, and highly esteemed by all those who value the preservation of their teeth, it may be applied at all times with the greatest safety. It is neatly put up in pewter boxes with paper directions. Price 50 cents a box.
