To the Citizens of Kentucky.
ACTUATED by motives which I shall never blush to avow, I have ventured to contribute a share in an endeavor to satisfy the public mind, that the accusations contained in the Western World, against some of the citizens of Kentucky, are false and unfounded, and that the charges have proceeded from the malevolence of the personal enemies of the accused.
After a lapse of some considerable time spent, again in dread concealment, we discover that Alexander K. Marshall is selected as the humble and dissembling advocate of family malice.
In my endeavors to place before the public, a faithful portrait of some of the leading calumniators, I had not reached so low as this unworthy man. I must now claim the public indulgence while I devote a few lines in answer to his remarks, at the same time I am sensible that an apology is due for the egotisms of which I shall be guilty, and for thus attempting to excite the public attention to an object so contemptible, but one who ought not to remain in "quiescent obscurity."
With that disimulation and utter disregard to truth, for which Alexander K. Marshall is remarkable, he has unblushingly ventured to assert, "that the Editors of the Western World never did derive any information from me, (for I possessed none,) or from my father's business, or as I believe from any member of my family; yet the above declaration is not to be understood as extending to occasional remarks published in that paper, for I believe several of the pieces have flowed from the pen of some of my family, who are willing to avow them."
After having roundly denied any agency, either by himself or family, he cautiously proceeds to correct his first position, by observing that his unqualified declaration is not to be understood as extending to occasional remarks and "pieces," which he grants have flowed from the pen of his family. We are at length informed, that the family have indulged themselves in the effusions of their minds in the Western World, and if this acknowledgement is not sufficient to produce conviction of their agency in the management of that paper, I will offer for the consideration of the public, such facts as have come within my own reach.
of the machinations of her foes." We are also informed that this honorable communication is within the reach of the family, and that such parts as they may suppose will answer their purpose will be published; what that information was, and who those foes were, is sufficiently developed—we have a right to conclude that this precious discovery, was the origin of the slander—let us pursue its progress. It will perhaps be difficult to bring positive and direct testimony to shew the agency of the several members of this family in the management of the Western World.
Added to those proofs and many others that may be collected, it is known to every man in any measure conversant with those people, that they are actuated by a common impulse, in every case affecting their power or wealth—the enemy of one is to them the enemy of all.
In justice to myself, and to those whose feelings may have been unintentionally affected by me, I have to observe, that any strictures which may have fallen from me, respecting those calumniators as constituting a family, are to be applied only to those persons, whose names are brought into public view. I well know that there are persons
allied to this family by marriage, who are of real worth; and altho' they are out of the reach of any pen, I should regret extremely being instrumental in giving them unnecessary pain. It is not true as Alexander Marshall says, for he is habitually incapable of adhering to the truth. That resentment against one of the family, has induced me to assail all.
But to return to Alexander, this unworthy dissembler, under the specious garb of veneration to his fire, with all the solemn mockery of sympathy, forgets that to the unfeeling and relentless malice of himself and his associates, we owe the unpleasant spectacle of a father dragged from his grave, and held up to public observation, to answer the wretched purposes of slander;
To depict this aspiring branch of the calumniating band, it will be necessary to describe him in terms that may not be forgotten. Possessed by nature with a capacity to become useful at the bar, his mind has unfortunately taken the most vicious and perverse direction.
It is proper here to observe our reason for having declared this correspondence was in the possession of general John Marshall of Richmond, Virginia. We were informed from authority upon which we could rely, that the letters between gen. Washington and colonel Marshall, were given to the chief Justice by Bushrod Washington, along with the other papers of gen. Washington, which fact is not contradicted by A. K. Marshall.
our bar, during a period of near ten years, in exploring grounds never before trodden, and searching after principles adapted to the various complicated cases presented to our view; infinitely less perplexity and agitation did occur, than in a single term among the younger branches who now croud the bar.
This man has attributed to me an immense share of fallibility, because judgments rendered in the courts to which I am attached are often reversed. From his own dissembling lips may be procured his own condemnation; for it is a fact that he is in the continued habit of invective against the court of Appeals, and without decency or dignity represents that court as weak and unfound.
And altho' I am deprived of the benefit of a conclave, far removed from the persons implicated and destitute of that interchange of sentiments and information, from which much aid is to be received. I trust it will be in my power to defend myself against a host of such enemies.
FROM THE WESTERN WORLD. The Kentucky Spanish Association, Blount's Conspiracy, and General Miranda's Expedition. [CONTINUED.]
No. XVI. CONCLUDED.
It is proper here to observe our reason for having declared this correspondence was in the possession of general John Marshall of Richmond, Virginia. We were informed from authority upon which we could rely, that the letters between gen. Washington and colonel Marshall, were given to the chief Justice by Bushrod Washington, along with the other papers of gen. Washington, which fact is not contradicted by A. K. Marshall.
We deem it however more satisfactory for those who only have seen the numbers of the conspiracy and not those of the Observer, which have not been republished in other papers, to copy the account which
the Observer, gives in the 15th number of the Western World of general Wilkinson's memorial to the court of Spain. The Observer is a gentleman of the utmost respectability, and he challenges any member of the Kentucky convention, who was present when the memorial was read, to deny any part of the following statement.
"This notable essay, of which something has been laid, was written on 15 or 20 sheets of paper, with blank spaces, (where parts might have been omitted,) was read it is believed, by the general himself, and at the end of each sheet, delivered it over to his faithful friend, of whom the public have heard some things, and it is probable will hear more, if there be public justice or public spirit enough in the country to expel from office a Spanish Pensionary, when the assembly meets. And as it may afford some gratification to the people of this day, I will insert an epitome of this essay, taken by one who was present at the reading."
"The general "urges our natural right of following the current of rivers flowing through our own country into the sea. He states the extent of our country, the richness of our soil, abounding in choice productions, proper for foreign market, to which we have no means of conveying them, should the Mississippi be shut against us.
"He states the advantages Spain would derive from allowing us the free use of that river. He goes on to shew the rapid population of this country, and the eagerness with which every individual looks forward to that navigation. He states the general abhorrence with which the people of the western waters received the intelligence; that congress was about to sacrifice their dearest interest by ceding to Spain the navigation of the Mississippi for twenty-five or thirty years; and represents it as a fact, that they were on the point of separating themselves totally from the union on that account.
"He addresses himself to their fears by a pompous display of our force; and urges that should Spain be so blind to her true interest, as to refuse us a participation in the navigation of that river, and thereby force us into violent measures, Great Britain stands with her arms expanded ready to receive us, & to assist our efforts for the accomplishment of that object; and quotes a conversation which he had a few years ago, with a member of the British house of commons to that effect.
"He states the facility with which their province of Louisiana may be invaded by the united force of the British and Americans, by means of the river Illenois; and the practicability of proceeding from thence to their province of New-Orleans, it not being more than twenty days march.
"Britain, he says, "will probably aim at the possession of Louisiana and New-Orleans for herself, and leave the freedom of navigation to America; and urges pretty forcibly the great danger of the Spanish interest in North America would be in, from the British power, should Britain possess herself of the mouth of the Mississippi, and thereby hold the two grand portals of North America, that river and the St. Lawrence; and concludes with an apology for the freedom with which he has treated the subject; and adds, that it has at their particular request, been drawn from a man, whose head may err, but whose heart cannot deceive."
The 2d proof which we offer, of the agency of general Wilkinson in the Spanish Association, are the papers of gen. Wayne, in the possession of Isaac Wayne, esq. Chester county, Pennsylvania; which we have taken measures to obtain, and flatter ourselves that Mr. Wayne, will also see the propriety of giving them to the public. That such papers are in existence discriminating gen. Wilkinson, is evident from the communication of Mr. Stockdell, which appeared in the last Western World.
The 3d proof upon which we rest our assertions, are the papers of the late deceased Colonel Butler, who is well known to have fallen a victim to the rancorous hate and malignant persecution of general Wilkinson. These, likewise, we have the best assurance for believing, will soon be given to the public; and are informed will prove in the most satisfactory manner, the charges with which we have accused the general.
The 4th proof, are the testimony of several respectable characters now in the state of Kentucky who declare

that general Wilkinson used many arguments to induce them to embrace an alliance with Spain, in preference to a union with the Atlantic states. They decline having their names made public in a newspaper, but we will readily communicate them to any person authorized by general Wilkinson for that purpose.
The 5th proof are the several corroborating circumstances which we have related of Philip Noland, and Joseph Ballinger, who are well known to hundreds in the state of Kentucky, to have been the tools and servants of general Wilkinson on various occasions.
LOSS OF THE QUEBEC FLEET.
Mercantile Chronicle office, Cork, Aug. 25, Four o'clock.
Our courier has just arrived from Cove, with the following information—
The transport ship Osborne, capt. Moffatt, has arrived in this harbor. Her intelligence is of a very disagreeable nature—She made one of a fleet of twenty-two sail, which left Quebec under convoy, of his Majesty's ship Champion. Three of that number were transports having on board the 6th regiment of foot, consisting of four hundred and sixty seven men; the other ships were merchantmen and mast ships. On the 15th inst. seven of the convoy parted at different periods of the day; and on the same day they fell in with a strange sail, which, when within four miles of the Champion not answering the private signal, it was intimated to the ships of the fleet to disperse. It was shortly discovered that the strange ship was an enemy, and a line of battle ship. She was observed to board five sail during the day which were set on fire. Another sail was distinguished to leeward, bearing S. by E. which had also the appearance of a man of war, and as a fire was discernible in that direction, she was also judged to be an enemy. From the situation in which the fleet was when the Osborne escaped, it is strongly to be apprehended, that the entire of it was either captured or destroyed. We are not specially informed of the fate of the Champion, from the short distance she was from the enemy, her escape was considered impossible. The Osborne has part of the 6th foot on board.
A COURSE of Lectures on the Theory and Practice of MEDICINE, in the Transylvania University, will commence on the third Monday of the present month.

Extract of a Letter dated,
Natchez, October 6.
Yesterday and to-day between 2 and 300 men crossed the river for Natchitoches to fight the Dons. Genl. Wilkinson having full authority, had previously required the aid of the Militia. The information from the west as well as the east leaves us little to expect but war with Spain. Reports are various as to the force of the enemy, and have increased them from 9 to 2700 men. On the 4th inst. it is said our regular troops would muster about 600 strong. The French and Spanish settlers in the territory of Orleans, near the seat of the expected war, are not well affected towards our government, and if they become citizen soldiers, it will be with great reluctance. From this territory at any other time a handsome little army would turn out with alacrity—at present in the very height of their harvest, they are extremely tardy. Col Cushing is now at Nagadouches, with dispatches from Gen. Wilkinson, to the Spanish commander in chief Cordera—what may be the result is uncertain. We are here, however, very sanguine of success.
Extract of a letter from General
Wilkinson, dated, Sept. 28,
From Natchitoches.
"The Spaniards are now in my front, and unless their orders, or my own, are countermanded within ten days, the sword will be drawn. I have made a last effort at conciliation. Col. Cushing is now with Cordera, the President and Governor of the province of Cohuahuala at Nagadouches, and I expect the result in four days; but after what has passed, nothing satisfactory can be expected. I am urging forward the necessary preparations—we have about 400 militia, in addition to our regular forces, and with these the enemy out number us two to one; but it is our business in case of an engagement to beat them."
If our negotiations with Spain have failed, we shall have to draw upon the free spirit and strong arm of Kentucky; for the plan of the Spaniards leads to a systematic defence of this frontier, for which the whole energies of the Mexican province will be called into action.
Three Kentuckians have been taken by the Spaniards, put in irons, and sent to St Antoine.
MIRANDA.
Captain Briggs, arrived yesterday from Curacoa, reports that he was at Aruba 6 weeks ago, at which time Miranda was in possession of that island. Captain B. sold part of his cargo to the British vessels under direction of Miranda, which consisted of the
 Galatea, of 36 guns.  Bachante, 28  Lilly loop, 22  Brigs Attentive, 18  Express, 18  Two schooners heavily armed, and the Leander, 24. With several schooners as transports.—The troops were about 600 in number.
Captain Briggs dined with the general, who informed him that the reason of his falling out with Lewis (former captain of the Leander) was, when the Spanish brigs attacked the Leander, he beat them off with ease—they then bore down on the two schooners, which had fallen to leeward, and in shore—the general requested Lewis to pursue, but he would not, by which means the schooners were captured. He also informed captain B. that he was not beat out of Coro, but that he left it for Aruba, until the troops 5000 in number, that he expected daily from Barbadoes and Jamaica, attended by a 64 gun ship, should arrive. The general had no doubt of succeeding, and had with him several Spaniards from the Maine. Captain B. says, that he conversed with several of the Spaniards, and their opinion was, that he must succeed. Miranda had had frequent conversations with the priests and dignified clergy.—[Baltimore Tel.]
NEW-YORK, Oct. 15.
MIRANDA.
We have been favoured with the perusal of several letters from respectable gentlemen with Gen. Miranda. One under the date of Aug. 18th, from the Island of Aruba, says, "I am just informed that, our brave companions taken in the sch's Bee and Bacchus, were all safe about 20 days past. I mention this circumstance the more particularly, as it will be interesting to their friends in New-York, and to whom you will be pleased to communicate the fame."—Another, dated Aruba Aug. 30th, says, "It was sometime ago reported, that the Government of Carracas, had executed some of our people who were taken in the schooners, but the report is totally void of any foundation, as a man has just come in from Porto Cavello, who left them there all well, fifteen days ago. He says, they are kept closely confined in a place distinct from the other prisoners, but are otherwise exceedingly well treated."—And a third letter from Aruba, dated Sept. 3d, says—"I feel happy to have it in my power to assure you that ALL our prisoners, taken in the schooners, were perfectly well at Porto Cavello twelve days ago; they are closely confined, but otherwise well treated, and the Spanish government is afraid to take any harsh steps, as they see the British government are joining with Gen. Miranda, and dread retaliation."
One of the above letters also says—"It affords me much satisfaction to inform you that on the 24th of Aug. the Galatea frigate, capt. Sayre, joined us here having been sent by Ad. Cochrane for the purpose. Capt. S. also informs us that the Oprey sloop of war may hourly be expected to join us. The Bachante sloop of war, from Jamaica, Capt. Dares, is cruising on this station, and frequently at anchor with us. Our naval force is at present sufficient, and we only wait for intelligence from our dispatches to Barbadoes and Jamaica, when we shall proceed to our next point of operation; which I am informed is one that will be tenable, and where we shall make a stand until our force is adequate to progress in the country." COM. ADVERTISER.
The Commercial Advertiser of last evening contains several extracts from letters, all of which contradict the unpleasant intelligence long since received, of the execution of several of Miranda's officers. We most sincerely wish we could believe this agreeable news; but we have reason to think there is no foundation for a HOPE that these gentlemen are yet alive.
NEW-YORK, October 11.
LATEST DATES. —Arrived this forenoon, the Schooner Hamlet, captain Henry, in 32 days from Bordeaux. Captain H. informs that the negotiation for peace had broken off, and that lord Lauderdale had demanded his passport on the 28th of August, and expected to leave Paris in a few days. The Hamlet left Bordeaux the 5th Sept. and the river the 8th. Accounts, however are contradictory.
Letters are received by the same arrival of the 1st and 3d of September, one of which says, "we are in the same state of uncertainty as when I wrote you last. The negotiations are continued, and by some are supposed to be rapidly approaching to a pacific conclusion."
A Paris paper, the Argus of the 1st of September, takes no notice of a failure of the negotiation, which is incredible to suppose, had lord Lauderdale left Paris.
The great continental powers have agreed to acknowledge Bonaparte, and a magnificent fete is in consequence preparing.
New-York, Oct. 13.
The Paris Argus of the 30th of August says, in a quotation from the Publiciste, "The negotiations with England are still carried on with activity." Two questions only, it is added, present themselves in the course of the deliberations on this subject—1st. Whether Great Britain should preserve the dominion of her influence upon the continent; and 2d. How long the nations of the continent shall remain excluded from the common domain of the sea, and submit to the yoke England imposes upon their commerce and their industry? The battle of Austerlitz decided the first—the second is yet undetermined.
The emperor of Austria (who has renounced the title of Emperor of Germany, and thus become Bonaparte's junior) the king of Prussia, and most of the great continental powers, have recognized the late Germanic Federation.
A Nantz paper of the 29th August announces that the ship Vetenran, commanded by Jerome. Bonaparte, arrived in the night between the 26th and 27th of that month, at Corneacneau, in the bay of La Force.
Czerni-Georges obtained, on the 26th of July, a signal victory over the Ottoman troops on the fron-
tiers of Turkey. The Turks lost no less than 9 or 10,000 men. Their defeat is represented as being so complete, that only a few hundred men escaped. Three of their principal chiefs, Ali Bey, Achmet Bey, and Zhego Bey, were killed. The Servians made an immense booty.
The homeward Jamaica fleet had arrived at its destination. On the passage the convoying vessels fell in with and captured a Spanish fleet of merchantmen, under the protection of a line of battle ship and two gun brigs.
In our selection of intelligence from the papers by the Robert Burns and Hamlet, we have carefully noted every article which might seem to have the slightest bearing on the new coalition said to have been formed against France; but we find nothing to warrant so extravagant an opinion.
PARIS, August 30.
The negotiations with England are still carrying on with activity. On the 25th inst. Mr. Shaw, an English courier, arrived in this city, and it is now asserted that Mr. Ballico is on the eve of his departure for London, as is also lord Lauderdale's private secretary.
By late advices from the Mediterranean, we learn that war has been declared between the Bey of Tunis and the Dey of Algiers; occasioned by the refusal of Tunis to pay the stipulated tribute to Algiers, in which the former is said to be countenanced by the Porte. The Bey of Tunis has raised an army of 70,000 men, and the Dey of Algiers one of 60,000; the latter with the avowed purpose of attacking Tunis. His troops manifested some repugnance to marching, until they were tempted by the offer of the plunder of the town. No accounts have been received of the meeting of these armies, from which we may expect a bloody combat. The Tunisian cruisers had already entered the harbors of Algiers; and committed considerable depredations; and Algiers had sent out several cruisers to intercept Melli Melli.
LONDON, August 23.
The Paris Moniteur of the 14th August contains the following most important and affecting State Paper, being the resignation of the high office of Emperor of Germany, by Francis, Emperor of Austria.
VIENNA, Aug. 7.
We Francis Second, &c.
"Since the peace of Presburgh all our attention and all our care have been employed to fulfil with scrupulous fidelity all the engagements contracted by that treaty, to preserve to our subjects the happiness of peace, to consolidate everywhere the amicable relations happily re-established, waiting to discover whether the changes caused by the peace would permit us to perform our important duties as Chief of the Germanic Empire, conformably to the capitulation of election."
"The consequences, however which ensued from some articles of the treaty of Presburgh, immediately after its publication, and which still exist, and those events generally known, which have since taken place in the Germanic Empire, have convinced us that it will be impossible, under these circumstances, to continue the obligations contracted by the capitulation of election, and, even if, in reflecting on these political relations, it were possible to imagine a change of affairs, the convention of the 12th of July, signed at Paris, and ratified by the contracting parties, relative to an entire separation of several considerable states of the Empire, and their peculiar consideration, has entirely destroyed every such hope."
Being thus convinced of the impossibility of being any longer enabled to fulfil the duties of our Imperial functions, we owe it to our principles and to our duty, to renounce a crown which was only valuable in our eyes, whilst we were able to enjoy the confidence of the Electors, Princes, and other states of the Germanic Empire, and to perform the duties which were imposed upon us.—We declare, therefore, by these presents that we, considering as dissolved the ties which have hitherto attached us to the States of the Germanic Empire, that we considering as extinguished by the confederation of the States of the Rhine, the charge in chief of the Empire; and that we
considering ourselves thus acquitted of all our duties towards the Germanic Empire, do resign the Imperial Crown, and Imperial Government. We absolve at the same time, the Electors, Princes, and States, and all that belong to the Empire, particularly the Members of the Supreme Tribunal, and other Magistrates, of the Empire, from those duties by which they were united to us as the legal chief of the Empire, according to the Constitution.
"We also absolve all our Germanic Provinces and States of the Empire from their reciprocal duties towards the Germanic Empire, and we desire in incorporating them with our Austrian States as Emperor of Austria, and in preserving them in those amicable relations subsisting with the neighboring Powers and States, that they should attain that height of prosperity and happiness which is the end of all our desires and the object of our dearest wishes."
"Done at our residence, under our Imperial seal.
FRANCIS.

HURRICANE AT DOMINIQUE.
St. Johns, (Ant.) Sept. 16.
Arrived this morning the Danish Schooner Marriner, Balden, from Barbadoes and Dominique. She brings the most deplorable accounts of the ravages made by a hurricane at the latter island, on the night of Tuesday last. Some faint idea may be formed of the violence of the storm, from the following letter to a gentleman in this island, dated at Rosseau:
"On Thursday night the 9th inst. we experienced the most violent hurricane known in this island for 50 years: about 9 o'clock at night it began to blow from the northward, and continued till 12, when it blew so hard as to render it impossible to remove from the houses."
"The rain fell most dreadfully, and caused the river to run through every street in town. The consequences are distressing beyond anything I ever saw; almost the whole centre of the town is carried away; very many lives are lost. Persons, houses, flocks, and every thing which stood in the street leading between Mr. Dodd's and Mr. Callet's, were swept into the sea. The cries of the unfortunate persons were dreadful, and there was no possibility of rendering them any assistance from the darkness and horror of the night. All the houses at the river side, with many of the inhabitants, are also carried away."
"The house and store rented by captain Syers, was also washed away: and I am sorry to add that young Mr. Harper and a servant of Mr. Syers went with it. Captain McKay, by an extraordinary effort, leaped from that house on a high wall, as the house was passing over Mr. Martin's lot, and escaped. All the shipping, excepting one vessel are lost, several seamen perished. The estates have suffered severely. The buildings at Morne Bruce, except one, are blown down, but fortunately very few lives were lost there.—The officers and men lay all night, on the ground, not daring to get up for fear of being blown off the Hill."
Another letter says, "It is ascertained at least 107 persons have perished in the storm."
Monday, November 3d, 1806.
THE Trustees of the town of Lexington met and adopted the following Ordinance, viz. Be it ordained that no Huckster shall be permitted to purchase in Market during Market hours, any article whatever, which such Huckster is known usually to sell or expose to sale, under the penalty of Ten Dollars for each offence, to be recovered and appropriated as other fines are, and that a copy of this order be published in the Kentucky Gazette three weeks successively.

THE following verses (by SELLECK OSBORNE, editor of the Witness, now confined in Litchfield jail) are founded on the story of an English gentleman and lady, who were on their passage to the East Indies, in one of the vessels of an English fleet. For some particular reason, they left the vessel, and went on board the Admiral's ship, leaving two young children in the care of a negro servant who was about eighteen years of age. In a violent storm, the ship containing the two children was cast away, when a boat arrived from the Admiral's ship for their relief. The crew eagerly crowded to the boat—but the negro lad, finding there was only room for himself alone, or the two children, generously put them on board, and remained himself on the wreck, which, with the generous boy was immediately ingulphed in the ocean.
Tremendous howls the angry blast! The boldest hearts with terror quake! High o'er the vessel's tottering mast The Equid mountains fiercely break! Each eye is fix'd in wild despair, And death displays his terrors there!  Now plunging in the dread abyss, They pierce the bosom of the deep— Now rise, where vivid lightnings hiss, And seem the murky clouds to sweep— Thro' the dark waste dread thunders roll, And horrors chill the 'frighted soul!  The storm abates—but shatter'd sore, The leaky vessel drinks the brine; They seek in vain, some friendly shore, Their spirits sink—their hopes decline! But lo! what joy succeeds their grief, Kind Heaven grants the wish'd relief.  See, on the deck young MARCO stands, (Two blooming cherubs by his side, Intrusted to his faithful hands; "A mother's joy a father's pride")— Though black his skin, as shades of night, His heart is fair—his soul is white!  Each to the yawl with rapture flies, Except the noble generous boy; "Go, lovely infants—go," he cries, "And give your anxious parents joy— No mother will for MARCO weep, When fate entombs him in the deep!  "Long have my kindred ceas'd to grieve; "No sister kind my fate shall mourn— "No breast for me a sigh will heave, "No bosom friend wait my return!" He said—and, sinking, sought the happy shore, Where toil and slavery vex his soul no more.
Distressing Narrative.
The following narrative, from the Philadelphia True American, contains one of the most heart-rending accounts of human misery that we recollect ever to have seen or heard:—  Tuesday last arrived here in the Mercury, Capt. Dolby, from Jamaica, Capt. Rofs, late of the Schooner Vigilant, of Philadelphia—who relates, that he failed from Cape François the 28th of June, with a cargo of coffee, for this port. On the night of the 29th, he ran ashore on a sandy key; in the morning Mr. Nixon, Capt. Bradshaw, with one or 2 of the crew, took the boat to go and look for assistance but never returned to the Schooner. Capt. Rofs, Isaac C. Rogers, and the negro cook, being left on board the wreck, remained in expectation of the return of the boat till Tuesday the 1st of July, when they found the Schooner going to pieces: they got together 3 spars, with which they made a raft and put thereon some water and provisions, and left the wreck, in hopes of finding some harbour or place of safety: they had not been one hour from the wreck before their raft upset, which threw them into the sea, and deprived them of their stock of provisions and everything but what was on their backs; however, they all three once more got on the raft. On Wednesday night the 2d of July, the negro cook leapt from the raft and was lost: about 4 o'clock on Thursday, the 3d, Mr. Isaac C. Rogers appeared somewhat deranged, about day break next morning leapt into the sea; Capt. Rofs sprang after and replaced him on the raft; but, restless and uneasy, in a few minutes he once more threw himself into the water and was seen no more. Thus was Capt. Rofs left in the wide ocean, on three spars without victuals or drink, or a friend or companion to console or comfort his drooping spirits. It so happened that he had not long to reflect on his solitary situation, for about 10 o'clock A. M. to his great joy he discovered land; and drifting near it, about 6 o'clock in the evening, fearing he should pass it in the night, stripping himself, left his raft, and swam for land—where being landed, he sat out to search for a drop of fresh water to moisten his tongue, and allay his fever: in vain did he wander from place to place till 10 at night, when, wearied and fatigued, he laid on the sand in hopes of sleep; here again he was disappointed by the shoals of lizzards and other vermin, that tormented him. The day broke and found him restless, and gave him no comfort; for he was now convinced he was on a sandy island, without house or shelter, without victuals or drink or a rag to cover him, having left his clothes on the raft where he stripped himself. In this forlorn state he once more sat out in search of water, which about sundown, to his great joy, he discovered; with this he quenched his thirst, and sat him down to look at his forlorn state, when hope, that solace of the distressed, was all that had left. Here he determined to remain 'till Providence
should relieve him in the way it seemed meet. Thus, from the third of July until the 21st did he bear up against his misfortunes, his only food a few land crabs, which he ate raw, and they were so scarce that he could not get more than sufficient to keep him alive; so that he grew daily weaker, 'till the last 10 days he was obliged to crawl on his hands and knees; and having nothing to shelter him from the rays of the sun, he was blistered, by its heat, from head to foot, and finally the whole of the skin came off, naked, hungry debilitated and sore, hope had almost deserted him, and he only thought he should lay him on the sand and die; when, on the 21st of July to his great joy, he espied a Schooner making towards his sandy beach; he with difficulty raised himself and waved a bush, which they perceiving, humanely sent their boat, and in a short time saved him from the jaws of death. He found himself on board the Surveillant, Capt. Rogers, of Barracoa, where he was treated with the greatest kindness and attention, clothed once more and restored to health.
Wit—In a private conversation, the late Earl Chatham asked Dr. Henniker, among other questions, how he defined wit? The Doctor replied, My Lord, wit is like what a pension would be given by your Lordship to your humble servant—a good thing, well applied.

Elegance combined with Utility, in  Willis's New Fashioned SHOES.  In ancient times the bards foretold, The rhyming trade would ne'er grow old— 'Tis true in these more modern times, Mechanics manufacture rhymes; Murphy and Shaw have try'd their part To imitate the rhyming art, And WILLIS in these rhyming times Must surely weave a web of rhymes. Ladies here I beg to mention, (Claimants of his first attention) Handsome shoes in every part, Is Willis's master piece of art— He shoes does make, which Queens might handle.  The neatly plain, the brilliant spangle, Improves new fashions as they rise, And makes some spangled shoes with ties. Coffack boots, and fair tops too, Made neater here than any shoe, All forts and sizes well assorted, Made of leather, the best imported, And now to tell you where he lives, And strict attention there he gives, To orders sent both far and near, He'll fit you well you need not fear: Main-street, next door to neighbor Noel, Those who know this, possess a jewel; But not to make description fainter, 'Tis opposite Mentelle the painter; Adjoining the shop of Aaron Woodruff, Who makes you shoes quite good enough. To tell you this, my mind did labor Who'd not be friendly with a neighbor. If ladies send a pattern shoe, He'll make them neatly to fit you. Believing this the best expedient, He now remains their most obedient.  RICHARD WILLIS, Two or three Apprentices will be taken to the above business.  Lexington August 18, 1806.
