REMOVAL.
LAWSON MCCULLOUGH TAILOR,
HAS removed his Shop from High-street, to a new framed house on Main and Mill-street, adjoining Mr. Lewis Sanders, and nearly opposite Mr. Joseph Gray's Store. Those Gentlemen who may please to favor him with their custom, may depend on having their work done with dispatch and punctuality, and in the neatest and newest fashion—He has for the accommodation of his friends and customers, (and a little for himself) laid in a general assortment of the most suitable trimmings for cloaths, and a few pieces of genuine Constitution cord and Indian Nankeens, all of which will be sold on the most reasonable terms. Be so kind Gentlemen as to call in and judge for yourselves.

LEXINGTON, JUNE 17. Married, at St. Louis, by Doct. A. Steele, on the 28th April, Mr. John Hankinson, merchant, to Miss Frances B. McCrea.
A duel was fought near Nashville, on the 30th ult. between Gen. Andrew Jackson, and Mr. Charles Dickinson, both of Davidson county, Tennessee. The first fire Mr. D. received the ball of his adversary in the arm, which it passed through, and entered his body—We understand he died the succeeding day. It is said the General also received a wound in the arm.
It is a thing extremely desirable, that when a question is broached, the true grounds upon which it rests should be properly understood. The killing of Pierce has been termed murder , and murder it certainly was; but not murder with malice aforethought against him; but murder by construction of law. This distinction ought to be understood, lest those persons who are disposed to justify the conduct of the British on this occasion, as on others, may too successfully argue, that it was an accidental killing, and therefore no crime. It is a principle of law, that the killing of a man, where the killer was in the prosecution of an unlawful act, is murder, and the plea of accident is no excuse. Now it is universally allowed, that the least jurisdiction ever claimed by a neutral power over the waters of its coast, is to the extent of "one sea league, or three geographical miles from the sea shore." By the deposition of Jeffre Pierce, it appears, that the sloop Richard, on board of which John Pierce was killed, was only "a quarter of a mile from the beach, and two miles from the light house;" of course, within the jurisdiction of the United States. Being, therefore, within the jurisdiction of the United States, a neutral country, the right of search did not extend to the sloop Richard; consequently, the firing at her to bring her to, was an unlawful act , which constitutes the killing of Pierce, murder . So much we have deemed it proper to say in explanation, in order that our readers, generally, may know more particularly the grounds of the case.

NEW-ORLEANS, May 10. It is reported at Pensacola that the two Floridas have been ceded by Spain to France in exchange for the Duchies of Parma and Piacenza, which will be re-united to the kingdom of Etruria; and that France has sold the two Floridas to the United States for about 4,000,000 of dollars. It is added that persons of respectability at Pensacola are inclined to believe this news, which we believe to have been taken to Pensacola by individuals who took their leave of this city but a short time ago.
Moniteur. NASHVILLE, May 31. MURDER. About the catch instant, there was an Indian man killed near Tellico Block-house, by a white man of the name of Ferguson; his motive for doing this is unknown. About two days after this act was perpetrated, near 200 Indians assembled at the place to take satisfaction—Col Meigs was sent for to pacify them, and bring the perpetrator to conviction, the result of which is not known.

And his Majesty is further pleased to order, that a general embargo or stop be made of all the Prussian ships or vessels whatsoever, now within, or which hereafter shall come into any of the ports, harbors or roads, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, together with all persons and effects on board the said ships and vessels; but that the utmost care be taken, for the preservation of all and every part of the cargoes on board the said ships and vessels, so that no damage or embezzlement whatever be sustained: And the right honorable the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury, the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and the Lord Warden of Cinque Ports, are to give the necessary directions herein, as to them may respectively appertain.
STEPH. GOTRELL. LONDON, April 19. Another communication has reached the ministers from the French government. Yesterday morning about 6 o'clock the Combatant gun brig, which was cruising off the South Foreland, fell in with a flag of truce from Calais. The dispatches were taken from on board the French vessel, and landed at Deal about four o'clock in the afternoon; they were of course immediately forwarded to Mr. Fox's office. The same degree of latitude secrecy has been observed by ministers, upon this as upon former occasions; the nature and object of these dispatches therefore, remain unknown. It is supposed by many persons that they relate to an object more important than the exchange of Prisoners; and this supposition is, in a great degree, founded upon the reports which are in very general circulation upon the continent, viz. that Bonaparte has made a pacific proposition to the British government. It is however, more probable that they contain the final determination of the French government respecting the exchange of prisoners.
April 24. By the last advices from Vienna, the proceedings against general Mack are nearly terminated. He is declared innocent.
PHILADELPHIA, May 29. Twenty Days Later. From our Correspondents. NEW-YORK, May 28. Through the great attention of our estimable friends at New-York, we are in possession of Greenock accounts to the 3d inst. containing London advices to the 29th ult. and Paris dates to the 21st. Having received them just as we were going to press, we have only time to select a few articles. The most important event is the prospect of a RUP-TURE between AUSTRIA AND FRANCE, the latter having already violated the treaty of Presburg. The following paragraph, alluding to the circumstance, is taken from the French official Gazette of April 19, which we shall insert at length in our next.
"Dalmatia is occupied by the French army. It is separated from the mouth of the Cattaro by the republic of Ragusa: the country is mountainous, and the roads are bad. The French troops have arrived at Ragusa, when the fort of Castel Nuovo was delivered to 500 Russians by Gen. Brady, who commanded 2000 Austrians. This general, whose ancestors were English, has been wanting in respect to France, and has betrayed his master. Upon receiving this information, Marshal Berthier gave orders that Brannau, which defends the frontier of the Inn, and which was to have been given up on the 1st day of April, should not be restored, and that it should be again garrisoned. The division of the grand army which was on its way to France, has halted.
The prisoners of war that were to have been sent back to Germany have been detained, until further orders, in the places at which they were.
perately fought. Capt. W. confirms the news of Miranda's having stopped twelve days at Aruba.
LONDON, April 28. There was a report on Saturday, that Gen. Mack had been convicted of high treason, and condemned to suffer the pain of death.
By the Hamburg Mail received on Monday morning, we have accounts from Berlin to the 26th inst. which entirely discredit the report that prevailed in London on Saturday and Sunday, of the death of the KING OF PRUSSIA.
Baron Hardenberg, it appears, has at length formally resigned. Count Haugwitz has been appointed minister of foreign affairs.
The intelligence of the detention and capture of Prussian ships has produced considerable agitation both at Berlin and Hamburg; where, however, hope continued to be entertained that the Prussian rivers will not be blockaded!
Permission, as it is called, is said to have been granted to the French to pass through the Austrian territory, and 40,000 men are on their march towards Dalmatia.
The German papers contain no further news from Naples, than that Prince Joseph is to make a visit to Upper Italy for a short time. This looks as if he did not feel himself comfortably accommodated in the former country.
WEZEL, March 26. At length the future condition of these countries is no longer a secret. The Emperor's brother-in-law, Prince Murat, is to govern Cleves and Berg, under the title of Joachim, Duke of Cleves and Berg. The following Proclamation, to this effect, was published yesterday;
"Napoleon, by the Grace of God, and the Constitution, Emperor of the French, King of Italy, &c. Their Majesties the Kings of Prussia and Bavaria having ceded to us the Duchy of Cleves and Berg, with their full sovereignty, rights, titles, and prerogatives, and agreed to the transfer of each of these Duchies, in their present state, in favour of a French Prince, the object of our election, we transfer the said Duchies, with their rights, titles and prerogatives, in the condition we received them, to Prince Joachim, our well beloved brother: to be by him possessed in their full extent as Duke of Cleves and Berg, and to descend to his legitimate heirs male for ever, in the order of seniority, to the perpetual exclusion of the females and their descendants. But provided that the male heirs, which God avert, should become extinct, the said Duchies of Cleves and Berg with all their rights, titles, and prerogatives, shall revert to our male descendants natural and legitimate, or in failure thereof, to those of our brother Joseph, or otherwise to those of our brother Prince Louis; as the Duchies of Cleves and Berg can in no case whatever be united to our Imperial Crown.
"As the excellent qualifications of this Prince have been the principal motive of our choice, from a persuasion of the benefits which will result from them to the inhabitants of Berg and Cleves, so we cherish the hope that the fidelity of the inhabitants will continue to ensure the esteem they enjoyed under their former masters, and that they will merit the attention of their new sovereign and our Imperial protection."
"Given at our Palace of the Tuileries, March 15." [Signed] "NAPOLEON."
DORDRECHT, March 22. We learn from Paris, under date of the 25th, that the Minister of marine had left that city to inspect the whole line of coast upon the channel, and to ascertain, by his presence, the preparations in the sea ports.
In the interview which the emperor Napoleon had with baron St. Vincent, it is said, he expressed himself in terms of the greatest esteem for the Austrian nation, and testified the regret he had experienced on account of the opprobrious and disgraceful language which some people had permitted themselves to use, with respect to the Austrian army and its sovereign.
From the Main, March 21. According to the German Gazettes, Sweden, Pomerania, and the Isle of Rugen are to be ceded to Prussia for a sum of money.
BASLE, March 13. The grandmaster has received the following letter from the emperor of the French and king of Italy.
"Very dear and great friend, "We have been much affected upon the reception of the two letters which you have written on the 28th of January, 1806, to congratulate us upon the marriage of Prince Eugene Napoleon, our adopted son, with the princess Augusta of Bavaria, and the peace signed at Presburg. You may judge of the interest which we take in the Helvetic confederation, by the care we have manifested in causing the independence of the nineteen cantons to be acknowledged, according to the act of mediation. We are charmed with the opportunity of giving you a new pledge of our imperial good will; and we renew with pleasure, the assurances, that we will always be ready to seize every occasion of giving you the testimonies of our sincere attachment and affection. We pray God that he will have you in his holy keeping."
"Your good friend, "NAPOLEON." "Paris, February 28."

He has removed to the house formerly occupied by Mr. Macbean, on high street.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living in Scott county, between Georgetown and Frankfort, on the 7th inst. a Mulatto Girl, named B E C K, about 23 years old and a little stoop shouldered—took with her a variety of cloathing, but as she will change them, it is unnecessary to describe them—she is a likely, smart, sensible girl. I will give Five dollars and all reasonable charges paid on delivering the said girl to me. JOSHUA ORR. June 11th, 1806. 3t
THE way to keep the money circulating in this state, is to encourage home manufactures. The rapid importation of many articles that the citizens of this state can make equal in quality and more durable in wear, has of late became a very serious evil to the inhabitants of this western country. In the single article of Ladies' Shoes, it is estimated that not less than 20,000 dollars worth is annually imported into Lexington—The subscriber wishing to lessen the inconvenience, has commenced manufacturing Ladies' Slippers at the very reduced price of six shillings and nine pence per pair. The quality of his work, and the unusual low price, he is persuaded will secure him the patronage of a discerning public—Those merchants who have expressed a patriotic desire to encourage domestic manufactures, may now have an opportunity of sending their orders to Hugh Crawford, On Main street corner of Main Cross street.
An allowance will be made to those who buy to sell again, and credit given if required, by giving approved endorsed notes, payable at the insurance office. * * * Journeymen and apprentices are wanted. 3t

TO SOAR ALOFT ON FANCY'S WING. FROM THE BALANCE.
How welcome is the twilight scene, Calm season of the mind's repose; To loiter on the velvet green, And lose the memory of my woes.
The distant murmuring lapse to hear, Of water dashing from the hill, While soothes the insect minstrel near, Responsive to the whip-poor-will.
I love the voice of nature's song, What time the glare of day is gone, While dewy evening trips along, To meet the nymphs upon the lawn.
What time the busy scene is o'er, The village labors all are still, The plough-boy rests him at the door, And listens to the whip-poor-will.
TRIFLES LIGHT AS AIR.
The following anecdote is related in a pamphlet containing the discoveries of Captains Lewis, Clarke, &c. and lately communicated to Congress, by message from the President.
About 20 years ago, a party of these Indians (Hietans) passed over the river Grand to Che-wawa, the residence of the Governor General of what is called the internal provinces; lay in ambush for an opportunity, and made prisoner of the Governor's daughter, a young lady going in her coach to mass, and brought her off. The Governor sent a message to him (my informant,) with a thousand dollars, for the purpose of recovering his daughter; he immediately dispatched a confidential trader, then in his employ, with the amount of one thousand dollars in merchandise, who repaired to the nation, found her, and purchased her ransom; but to his great surprise, she refused to return with him to her father, and sent by him the following message: that the Indians had disguised her face by tattooing it according to their fancy & ideas of beauty, and a young man of them had taken her for a wife, by whom she believed herself pregnant; that she had become reconciled to their mode of life, that she was well treated by her husband, that she should be more unhappy by returning to her father under these circumstances, than by remaining where she was. Which message was conveyed to her father, who rewarded the trader by a present of three hundred dollars more, for his trouble and fidelity; and his daughter is now living with her husband in the nation, by whom she has 3 children.
In the London Times of March 1, the following is given as the genuine will of the late William Pitt:
"I owe Sir Walter Farquhar one thousand guineas, from October 1805, as a professional debt. W. PITT."
"12,000l. with interest from October 1801, to Mr. Long, Mr. Steele, Lord Carrington, Bishop of Lincoln, Lord Camden, Mr. Joseph Smith, and I earnestly request their acceptance of it. I wish, it means can be found for it, of paying double the wages to all my servants who were with me at my decease. W. PITT."
"I wish my brother, with the Bishop of Lincoln, to look over my papers, and settle my affairs. I owe more than I can leave behind me. W. PITT."

Merchants may be supplied on reasonable terms--Orders punctually attended to and neatly executed. A few Journeyman who understand making Kid and Morocco, wanted. Two or three young men, as apprentices, will be taken to learn that branch of business. N. B. A variety of elegant Fancy Patterns received. Lexington, May 29th, 1806.

FOR SALE,
18,000 Acres of Land. ON the left hand side of the three forks you go up the Kentucky, and at their junction. This land runs along the river three miles, and nine miles back. The bottoms are rich land; the ridges are capable of producing wheat, and other small grain. The pasturage is excellent for raising stock of all kinds, as it has a plenty of cane, brakes and peavines. All along the river is the sugar tree, wild cherry, and other woods common to this country. When you go back some distance, is the pine; which produces tar, turpentine, pitch and rosin; which will finally be valuable, independent of the wood that is upon the land. There is also a rock close to low water mark, that when the water is very low, shows clear flat upon its surface; and the rock itself tastes salt. There has been three water-witches [as they call them] trying the experiment, and say, there is four feet square of very salt water at the top of the bank, which is not an hundred feet from the water, and close to it a very easy ascending hill for several miles; and also the wood along the river. A coal bank within 300 yards. There is also 5 valuable coal banks which are near the river, with easy access to them. A coal yard and boat yard; and it is said, several salt-petre caves. The bottoms and along the creeks would produce good cotton and hemp. Lexington alone, independent of the country blacksmiths, consumes thirteen thousand bushels per ann. we will suppose Frankfort five thousand, which falls at the landing at one shilling per bushel, and twenty thousand might be sold: this might be made productive by a man of small capital. Independent of these advantages, the mouth of the three forks is the best fishing place in the state. In a final crib they can get five hundred pounds of fish in a day, and may get by a feign, five or seven hundred barrels per annum. Tobacco, flour, beef, pork, tallow, hogs' lard, hemp, cordage, whiskey or cast iron will be taken in payment. Part credit will be given. If the whole cannot be sold, a half will be sold, or a third, clear and indisputable deed will be given. For terms apply to Mr. Wm. Leavy, Lexington; or at this office. Lexington, May 16, 1806. N. B. There are a number of acres of clear bottom lands, and several log houses upon the above lands.
THE SUBSCRIBER
Makes & sells woman's good lined and bound slippers at 69 3/4 a pair by retail. The quality of his work and the unusual low price, will (he conceives) secure him the encouragement of a discerning public, who have annually exported from this place from 20 to 25,000 dollars a year for the article of women's shoes; by their affording him encouragement in this partial experiment, they will soon induce other shoemakers to follow the example, and thereby stop the importation and save the money amongst ourselves.

IN Lexington my friends may find
Me working at my trade, At railing stone to suit your mind, Or digging with my spade.
All you that have my stone received And find them not to suit, I'll haul the offals back again, And send a freer recruit.
Great contention long has been, Who can good water find, But I am sure although unfeign, For all I am half blind.
I will dig wells you all do know, Good water I can find, In spite of patent laws I'll show, For nought I will be kind.
Good time I have always on hand, Surely'd you all can be, However great is the demand Come friends, come unto me.
"A new broom sweeps clean;" but I am almost worn out, and my elbow great fails--so please to remember Poor old Shaw.

WARM & COLD BATHS.
THE public are respectfully informed, that I have, at considerable expense, in addition to my former Baths, (on a permanent spring on my premises) erected three new Bathing Houses, one of which is solely set apart for the Ladies' use. The use of Baths, warm and cold, were so general with the ancients, and particularly in warm climates, and the advantages to be derived from them, not only to persons in health as a luxury, but also in various acute diseases, where excruciating pain has been relieved, and sudden death often prevented, by the use of the warm bath alone; as well as the advantages to be derived both to children and persons of mature age, from the use of one or the other, as the faculty may think adapted to their case, will, the subscriber trusts, ensure the countenance and support of the citizens and others to the accommo-ation he hopes his baths may afford. Himself and attendants, will, from day-break 'till nine at night, wait on gentlemen; and a careful female servant is provided to attend at all times on such ladies as may be pleased to encourage the attempt he has made to add to their convenience and comfort. G. A. WEBER. N. B. Dr. Buchanan, in England, and Count Rumford, a native of our own country, with numerous other writers of eminence, have fully set forth the advantages of Warm and Cold bathing, that the reading of their works, it is presumed, will be amply sufficient to ensure enumeration to the owner, for the expenses incurred in the present undertaking. Persons may pay each time of bathing, or engage for the season. Lexington, 3d June, 1806.
