The Kentucky Spanish Association, Blount's Conspiracy, and General Miranda's Expedition.
[CONTINUED.]
Mr. Randolph from the official station and the confidence which gen. Washington reposed in him; we have reason to believe, was well acquainted with the proceedings of the Kentucky Spanish Association, as likewise the plan of Con...
The successor to Hammond was Sir Robert Liston, a man of equal intrigue, but of infinite more talent. The history of this ambassador will be particularly detailed when we come to treat of Blount's conspiracy. The intimacy which existed between him and President Adams is well known; and the support which he received from the federalists, proves, that there was a combination formed in the United States to bring their citizens entirely into the influence of British power.
From the departure of Liston, until the arrival of Merry, there was an interregnum of British plenipotentiary powers in the United States. But the old plan of corruption was still carried on by Thornton at Washington, Bond at Philadelphia, Col. Barclay at New-York, & Col. Hamilton at Norfolk in Virginia.
The elevation of Mr. Jefferson to the presidency of the United States, it is true, gave a considerable blow to federal policy, and federal intrigue, but it was not the power of Mr. Jefferson to prevent the importation of British Gold; and so long as this powerful magnet over the human mind, was in free circulation in the Atlantic towns, and even not a stranger in the house of congress; it was in vain to expect a total suppression of that system, which characterised and blasted the reign of President Adams.
The person whom Mr. Fox has marked out as ambassador to the United States, is one too, whose family for the last ten years has experienced the scourge of Mr. Pitt, and even has felt something of the vindictive and phlegmatic selfishness of American federalism. It is well known that the late Lord Dear, the elder brother of the present Earl of Selkirk who is to succeed Mr. Merry, was one of the martyrs of the Edinburgh convention. Sunk inorrow, at the fate of his unfortunate companions, Muir, Palmer, and Skirving, he abandoned his title and embarked for America; but the agents of Dundas were even to pursue him in the United States, and New-York and Philadelphia were rendered equally disagreeable as his native country.
It therefore must appear from what we have stated, that the original design of the Kentucky Spanish Association, has been entirely abandoned. The views of the conspirators are no longer to unite with Spain; but to form Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, the Louisiana, and the Florida into a dependent government. The advocates for this measure, are for effecting this measure by calling a convention of the people and obtaining the consent of congress; but a considerable number, and particularly those who at present reside in the western territories are for effecting their purpose by force of arms. The views of the latter may be perceived by the perusal of a number of essays under the signature of Coriolanus, that appeared in the Morning Chronicle of New-York, in 1802 and 1803, which we know were originally sketched on this side of the Alleghany, and have good reasons to believe came from the pen of Gen. Wilkinson himself, who communicated them to Col. Burr, and to a conjunction with Col. Hum-
phreys and Doctor Brown altered and amended them. This Doctor Brown is no relation to John Brown. He always resided at New-York until within these eighteen months, when he removed to St. Louis, having been appointed secretary to General Wilkinson.
During the presidential and state elections he was an active partizan of Col. Burr. When the election of presidency was depending, he wrote two or three essays in Lang's New-York Gazette, recommending Burr as president in preference to Jefferson.
In the summer of 1802, he wrote also a series of essays under the signature of Brutus, which appeared in the New-York Daily Advertiser, and were directed against De Witt Clinton. In the fall of 1803, an able defence of Col. Burr was drawn up by Doctor Brown and Doctor Peter Irving, the editor of the Morning Chronicle, under the signature of Aristides, and this is the last of Doctor Brown's literary labours, if we except the letters of Coriolanus, of which we know.
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 dependent 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 interest 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 confederated 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 dismemberment of the United States; the money arising from the sale and future settlement of the Yazoo, Georgia, and Kentucky districts, 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 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 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 aide-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 pay-master 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 captains, thirty two first lieutenants, thirty two second lieutenants, four adjutants with the rank of first lieutenants, four sergeants majors, four quarter-master sergeants, one hundred and sixty non-commissioned officers, two signal trumpets, four drum and fife majors, sixty four drums and fife, three thousand two hundred rank and file."
"Two battalions of legionary rifle men, 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 sergeant majors, two quarter-master sergeants, forty non-commissioned officers, one signal trumpeter, 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, one sergeant major, one quarter-master sergeant, ten non-commissioned officers, ten trumpets, two bugle horns, two fanners, two ladders, and one hundred and twenty eight dragoons."
"Two companies of artillery, one major, two captains, two captain lieutenants, four lieutenants, one adjutant, one sergeant major, one quarter-master sergeant, ten sergeants, four drums and fife, twenty four artillerymen armed as infantry, one hundred and four matresses, eight 6 1/2 inch howitzers, four 12 inch howitzers, four travelling forges, four hoppers, two travelling waggons, and two light waggons with inarching tools."
Coriolanus in the Chronicle of January 11th, 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 filmsey 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 the 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 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 ever disbar her conquest."
[To be continued.]
PHILADELPHIA, SEPT. 1. OF PEACE.
The Dutch Court Gazette of the 31 July, mentions a fact of considerable importance. It states under the head of intelligence from Vienna, of the 18th June, that M. D'Oubril had received his passports on the preceding day, and was making preparations for his journey to Paris. One of the French journals even asserts that M. D'Oubril is at Strasbourg, on his way to Paris. This would certainly indicate an approximation between France and Russia.
LONDON, July 8.---The funds yesterday, after various fluctuations, left off at the same prices at which they opened. This morning they experienced a depression of one per cent. in consols. Some very large sales were made by those who had previously bought to an immense amount. Those who bought so largely last week, may themselves, in some manner, have been the cause of the depression since Saturday. They held out the most confident assurances that peace would be signed immediately. Nay, so decisive was their tone and language, that they fixed almost the day and hour. On Thursday last they said that the negotiation had advanced so far that a message from the Lord Mayor might be expected in the course of the morning, and that of course it would be immediately transmitted to Lloyd's.
To Lloyd's therefore persons crowded from all quarters---the great room was filled; all in expectation of the messenger from the mansion-house; the seats and benches, which would enable the persons occupying them to hear more distinctly the message read, were warmly contended for. No message came, and the hopes then held out not being realized, many began to think, either that some obstacles had occurred in the negotiation, or that it had entirely broken off. The fall since Saturday, is said to have been principally occasioned by a rumour, that France had demanded a reduction of our navy to a certain number---a demand, which of course could not be complied with. Then, as Lord Holland had not set off on Saturday, or yesterday, it was supposed that he would not set off at all. His lordship may rest assured that the speculators watch his steps well, and that the most eager and minute enquiries have been made at Holland-House, as to his baggage, and whether any preparations are making for a long journey. It is now rumoured that his lordship will not set off till the next week. Basilico, the messenger, has gone back to Paris; he set out on Saturday evening, and failed in the Basilisk gun-brig on Sunday. As he is directed to make all possible speed, and has made the last journey to and from Paris in less than a week, it is supposed he will return by Friday.
Another report in circulation is, that Basilico will bring back the passports for Lord Holland, who will set out on Monday or Tuesday. The principal terms have been, according to report, arranged, his Lordship will have little else to do than to give them an official form, and sign them. They would arrive in this country, according to the wishes and intentions of ministers, after the prorogation of parliament. Undoubtedly some notice may be expected to be taken of the negotiation in his Majesty's speech upon the prorogation. It may be said in it, that his Majesty having received, or having made (which ever be the fact) proposals of peace, is employed in a negotiation, which he hopes to bring to a favourable issue, and to make peace upon terms consistent with the honor, the security, and interests of his Majesty's dominions. But it is probable that the session will not be permitted to close, without a question being put to his Majesty's ministers upon the subject. It is reported, that very considerable difference of opinion existed in the cabinet upon the subject, and that a division took place---the following members voting for peace; Mr. Fox, Lord Henry Petty, Lord Moira, Lord Howick, Lord Erskine, Lord Fitzwilliam. The ministers who voted against peace were, it is reported, Lord Grenville, Lord Spencer, Lord Sidmouth, Mr. Windham, Lord Ellen-
borough. Having thus published the rumours which have been circulated with respect to peace, not pledging ourselves either for the truth or falsehood of any of them, we shall publish another rumor which has reached us since writing the above. It is, that the negotiations are broken off, and that ten battalions are immediately to be sent out upon a secret expedition.---[Con.]
The following intelligence respecting the reported pacific negotiations between this country and France, appeared also in the Courier on Monday.
The depression of the funds on Saturday had damped the expectation of those who thought peace with France a thing of great distance. Because no official communication was made after the arrival of Basilico, who was supposed to have brought the ultimatum of the French government, it was immediately believed that the nature of the ultimatum was unfavorable. The fact is rumored to be quite the contrary.
The negotiation is reported to be so far advanced, that most, if not all the obstacles that existed, are said to have been removed; the principal terms to have been arranged; and nothing, it is added, remains to be done but to draw them up in official form. Lord Holland, it has been asserted, is on the point of going to Paris; he will proceed thither, not to commence a negotiation, but to sign the terms agreed upon between M. Fox and M. Talleyrand. Affairs having advanced thus far, it may appear strange to our readers, that no official communication has been made, and that any delay should take place in the signing of the preliminaries. The following is rumored to be the reason. Were the preliminaries signed, they would of course be made public, and would be open to discussion in Parliament. They would in all probability give rise to warm and long debates; but Mr. Fox's health is not sufficiently restored to enable him to take part in them at present; and as he is the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and has been principally concerned in negotiating the peace, his presence and active participation in the debates are deemed indispensable.
The negotiation therefore, it is added, will not be brought to a formal conclusion, nor the preliminaries be signed till after the prorogation of parliament, which will take place about the 25th inst. By this means the ministers will gain time till the next session of parliament, & Mr. Fox will complete the re-establishment of his health, and be able to bear the fatigue of debating. It is probable too that parliament may be dissolved soon after peace has been signed.
The following are reported to be some of the principal terms:
Malta to be possessed by this country in full sovereignty.
The Cape to be ceded to Great Britain.
Hanover is to be restored to its lawful sovereign.
The new arrangements made by Bonaparte upon the continent to be acknowledged.
The manufactures and merchandise of this country to pass freely through the continent.
No ships of the line to be built on either side without previous notice being given of such intention by the party intending to build to the other party, which then may build an equal number.
These are said to be amongst the principal articles.
For the perfect accuracy of the foregoing intelligence, we do not of course mean to pledge ourselves; but it is in general circulation amongst those who are supposed to have the best means of information. We give it as we have received it.
JULY 5.
The funds continue to rise. They left off yesterday, Omnium at 7 3/4 and 8. Three per cent. 64. The belief that some basis of peace is nearly agreed upon, was very strong, and that Lord Holland is about to set off for Paris, very general. It was even said that his Lordship had set off. It is very probable, indeed, that as soon as things have reached that maturity as to require the medium of an accredited negotiator, Lord Holland would be employed, as no person is better qualified for so important a task.
Such is the rage for speculation on the subject of Peace, that six guineas were offered, to receive an hundred, if there is any Preliminaries signed on Friday; 15 if there be any on Tuesday.
PARIS, June 2 1806.
ADMIRAL VILLENEUVE.
A letter has appeared in a paper called "Les, Nouvelles a la Main," which has arrested the notice of government. It is said to have been written by the late unfortunate admiral Villeneuve, commander in chief of the combined fleet which fought off Trafalgar, to the emperor, just before his death. This letter is extremely vindictive, and discovers a mind capable of the act he threatens; while it serves to shew the falsity of those reports which stated that the admiral had been murdered by order of the emperor.---The letter is dated.
Rennes, April 26, 1806. Villeneuve begins by stating, that the
appointment he received after the death of admiral la Touche, was much against his inclination. It appears from the letter, that he received orders on the 24th of September, that the combined French and Spanish fleet then at Cadiz, should return to Toulon, where they were even to fight their way through the English fleet. He obeyed the order; but at the same time reminded the minister of his former resignation.---
Neither fault, nor want of valour, brought on the misfortunes of Trafalgar. This fact has been fully proved in my official account of this battle. Why refuse it a place in the Moniteur?
While the calumnies and aspersions of my rival foes have always been admitted in its outrageous columns? When in the midst of your profligacy and ambitious career in Germany my report reached you, did you not, with your usual petulance and cruelty, say, "I fear that the example of a French Byng is absolutely necessary to make victory the order of the day in my navy?"
Thousand voices have repeated this your unfeeling expression, this sentence of death pronounced against a patriotic French admiral, by a ferocious foreign usurper, while my despatch was left unnoticed, unheard of, and perhaps unread. It contained nevertheless some severe truths, which would not have added any lustre to your naval talents, but proved, that he whose incapacity and ambition alone caused the loss of the French fleet near Aboukir, also occasioned the destruction of another near Trafalgar. In my last conversation with you, you owned to me yourself, that even were France the unopposed mistress of all the continent, as long as she cannot compel Great-Britain to submit to her dictates, her external power must be precarious, her internal state unsettled, her commerce flagging, her manufactures depressed, and her inhabitants suffering and poor."
The admiral then takes notice of the oppression the people of France laboured under from this "foreign usurper," who shed their best blood for the sake of himself, his creatures, and his relatives.---"Overburthened with taxes, and cruelly oppressed by an active, relentless, military despotism, my slavish countrymen mourn, without daring to utter a sigh, the gradual approach of inevitable ruin."---He then asks what advantages can Frenchmen or others derive from his usurpations, &c. "or from beholding a sanguinary adventurer and emperor; his vicious harlot and empress; his obscure and wicked brothers and brothers-in-law kings and princes; his profligate nieces queens and princesses; and his criminal accomplices, dukes field marshals and knights?"
He next observes, that while the French see 20,000 Austrians and Russians prisoners among them, they are only reminded of a much greater number of their countrymen in England, who have no chance of returning home, until France is delivered from his tyranny.
"The French people," he says, "are well aware that Great Britain is too wise and too powerful to sign another peace with a man more conspiring against her independence as a pretended friend, than dangerous as an avowed enemy; whose olive branches have always been the sulphurous faggots of a political and social incendiary, who offers continually peace during war, and plots and meditates nothing but destruction during a peace." Bonaparte, it seems, had directed his minister to give the admiral orders not to approach the capital; and the admiral lays, this "has again put off the period of your punishment, and the delivery of mankind from its scourge. Without it, resolved not to survive the ruin of the French navy, I meditated on dispatching you before I punish myself for having been your tool, to the disgrace of my honour, of my duty, of my birth, and of my profession." That you are still among the living, is therefore another evidence of a blind and unjust fortune, that from inscrutable motives, still permits the continuance of your barbarous tyranny. Depend however upon it, (and the vast enormity of your numerous crimes must convince you of its truth) that as you have lived one of grandest criminals, your end must be ultimately terrible. An assassin or an executioner shall finish a career of atrocities, which to the shame of humanity and of our age, has already been too long endured. Notwithstanding what your vile flatterers say to the contrary, had your murder preceded by suicide, not only the present generation, but ages to come, would have hailed me as a deliverer, and revered me as a saviour. Altars, as well as statues would then have been erected to my memory. Tremble tyrant!---You live abhorred and will expire with the curses of the universe, following you even on the other side of the grave.

"True to his charge" He comes, the Herald of a noisy world, News from all nations lumbering at his back" LEXINGTON, SEPTEMBER 25.
Married on Thursday evening last, Mr. William Todd, of this town, to the amiable Miss Polly Le Grand, daughter of Mr. Peter Le Grand, of this county.
Yesterday departed this life, of an attack of the bilious fever, Mrs. Polly Taylor, the amiable consort of George G. Taylor Esq. of Clark county. Perhaps the virtues which adorn the female character were never more united than in Mrs. Taylor, whose loss will be severely felt by a family of small children, and a numerous train of friends and connections.
H. Marshall's address to the Honorable George Muter & Benjamin Sebastian, shall appear in our next.
All those indebted to the Editor of this paper are requested to make immediate payment, as he has some very pressing demands for money. His real friends, he is convinced will attend to this notice.
Those gentlemen who have subscribed at this office for Dr. Rees's New Cyclopaedia, are informed, that the first volume is now on the way, and will be received at this place in a few days.

By the last Western Mail we received Orleans papers dated in November and December last!
The latest accounts from Orleans, represent that city as very healthy.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of the army, dated
"Fort Adams, August 18, '06. "Lieutenant Smith arrived here this morning with orders for all the troops, except our company, to repair without a moment's delay to Natchitoches.
"Nine hundred Spanish troops have crossed the Sabine and taken a position, where they are entrenching themselves, within fifteen miles of that post; determined to maintain it, and the country behind them.
"Colonel Cushing did not think it prudent to attack them until he should be reinforced.
"The Militia are about to be called out; and there are no doubts a war will ensue."
Extract of a letter from the same gentleman dated
"Fort Adams, Sept. 1st, 1806. "We are still in suspense touching the operations of Col. Cushing against the advanced party of Spaniards.
"We are vaguely informed that they have a number of American soldiers and citizens in captivity and that the artificers, amongst the persons are kept at work in chains.
"The General has not yet arrived. Letters come by every mail to his address at this place."
By the following extract it appears that the Spaniards have again moved without a fight.
Extract of a letter, dated Natchez, September 1, 1806.
News has this day come to this place, that the Spaniards have retreated from Natchitoches without an engagement. They were out of provisions, and not being able to get a supply, retreated of necessity.
DIED---At his residence in New Orleans, on Friday the 18th of August, the Rev. P. WALSH, late Vicar General and Governor of this Diocese; a gentleman of great humanity and benevolence. His death is much regretted by his numerous and respectable relations.
A WESTERN NAVIGATOR We learn by a gentleman from the county of Attakapas, of the arrival at New Iberia, a little town on the river Teche, of a Kentucky boat, laden with flour. This boat was navigated by a Mr. Slaughter; he departed from the Falls of the Ohio, and arrived at New Orleans about the last of May, where Mr. Slaughter, not finding a fair market, he therefore ascended the Mississippi to the Bayou La Fourche, through which he passed by way of the lakes and the bayou to the mouth of the Teche. Mr. Slaughter was actually on the ocean in a common Kentucky boat for several days, without either compass or sail. This bold navigator
made in safety his destined port, and met with a lucrative and ready market for his cargo. [New Orleans pap.
The death of the Pines. It is said that since the fall 1802, a deadly disease has been spreading among the Pine trees of South Carolina. This year it appears to act with the most powerful effects---many plantations having lost all their sawing and fencing timber, and thousands of acres contiguous to each other presenting but a dreary waste. The causes of this disease have not been ascertained. [Char. Cour.
FROM LONDON, June 17. "Mr. Sullivan, private secretary to Mr. Bowdoin, has arrived from Paris. He is said to have brought dispatches for Mr. Monroe, and is only six days from Paris. Something about Spanish affairs is spoken of; but what I have not heard. Portugal, it is said, is to be extinguished as a kingdom, and become a Spanish province; and Spain is to cede some of her maritime dominions to France."
DUBLIN, June 27. An article from Stettin, of the 17th of June says, "The Russian Consul yesterday gave notice on the Exchange here, that the King of Sweden would not permit even Russian ships with Russian property to come out of the harbour of Swinemunde. He hoped, however, to be shortly able to announce an alteration in this measure."
Touissant, late a captain, and Jean Bernard, late a lieutenant in Touissant L'Overture's army, and accompanied him to France, the Lords of the Admiralty have generously ordered to be conveyed home in the Wolverine sloop, which is under orders to take a convoy to the West-Indies. They have been sent from the Volontaire on board the Wolverine.
CONTINENTAL ARTICLES. WIENNA, June 17. The Russian Ambassador, Count Von Rasumouff, has had an interview with the French Ambassador, M. de la Rochefoucauld. M. Oubril has frequent conferences with the new English Envoy, Mr. Adair.
MUNICH, June 12. Prince Berthier has resided for some time at his country house, but he comes daily to town in the forenoon, and returns in the evening---Madame Vicomte is here, on a visit from Paris.
A French Courier who passed through here, was the bearer of dispatches for M. Oubril. Within 14 days or 2 weeks, the French army will begin to break up, and leave Bavaria.
A long expected Courier from Petersburg has arrived here. Our political relations with the court of Petersburg have, it is true, been interrupted by the circumstances of the times; but the family intercourse and the direct correspondence has not thereby sustained any real detriment. The latter, joined to the new pacific disposition of the Russian cabinet promises us with a speedy restoration of the former.
MUNSTER, July 17. The following notice was this day published here: "I hasten to inform the merchants of the Royal Westphalian provinces that according to a receipt of Baron Von Stein, private Minister of State, dated Berlin, the 5th of June, the English government allows the navigation of the Baltic to remain undisturbed, and the passage of neutrals to the ports of the North Sea, is permitted. Also, that the navigation act (according to which no foreign ships can carry the productions of their country to England) is suspended with respect to neutral vessels, with cargoes from Prussian ports.
V. VINCKE, President of the Chamber of Commerce. These few articles, if attentively perused, will be found to contain matter of large importance. They show in the first instance the pacific intentions of the Emperor of Russia, for if Bavaria is forgotten, the offences of France must be forgotten. The intercourse between the Russian, English, and French Ministers, however indirect between the two latter, put the question of a pacific negotiation beyond all speculation and doubt. The result of those conferences has by this time reached M. Talleyrand. Lord Yarmouth may therefore be expected to return in the course of the week, charged with some fresh overture from the French Minister.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 1. The brig Lady Washington from New Orleans (arrived at quarantine last evening) fell in with the fchr. O live Branch, bound from St. Kitts to New-York, on Sunday last, bottom upwards, and took off the wreck the captain and one seaman; the remainder of the people unfortunately perished.
It is a painful and melancholy part of our duty to announce the loss of the ship ROSE-IN-BLOOM, captain Barker, on her passage from Charleston to the port. She upset in the storm on Sunday last, off Barnegat; and, of four persons who were on board her at the time of the accident, twenty on
perished. the survivors were taken off the wreck by the brig Swift of St Johns, and arrived at this port yesterday.
The people preserved were. Captain Stephen Barker Captain Oliver Champlin Hon. John Rutledge Miss Eliza Macpherson Mr. L. Petroy M. Brennan Joseph W. Page B. Booth D. Botifour John Davis H. Turner N. Perry D. Crocker

The following persons were lost: Gen. Macpherson and servant Mrs. Booth and Son Mr. Clarke Mr. James Miller, jun. Mr. Thomas Tait Doctor Ballard and Servant Mr. Henry Bowering Mr. Botifour's Servant Mr. D. Crocker's Servant.
Steerage Passengers and Seamen---William Whitelegge, John Forcha, D. McCarty, Wm. Robinson, Charles Bryce, Fortune Johnson, John Trully, Adam Knott, and Harry Kid, the 3 last men of colour.
ABOLITION OF THE SLAVE TRADE. From what fell from Mr. Fox, in the House of Commons, says a London paper, we have no doubt that we shall speedily have to congratulate the friends of humanity and the country in general upon the total and final abolition of this disgraceful traffic.
The language of the hon. secretary was as plain and explicit as it possibly could be on the subject. He said "that his majesty's ministers were determined to prove that they were not unmindful of the solemn pledges they had given their their determination to abolish the Slave Trade for ever!!"
Mr. Bradford, A Subscriber requests that you will insert the following from the Kentucky Gazette of Oct. 17th, 1795.
SIR, In answer to your address to us in Mr. Bradford's paper, we assert that you were guilty of Perjury, in your answer to the bill filed against you in the late Supreme Court for the district of Kentucky, by James Wilkinson. We do not consider this as a proper subject for news paper discussion; but if you will commence an action against us for having made this declaration, we will plead justification, and leave the truth of the charge to be decided on a jury of our fellow citizens.

LITERARY.
MR. RUSSELL;
The charge of Deism or Infidelity, has not unfrequently been made against some of the first Statesmen, Philosophers and Generals of the U. S.—Among others, the late Dr. Franklin has not escaped the charge. I do not recollect to have seen in his works, any opinion of his on the subject of religion. But in perusing the life of the late Rev. Dr. Stiles, President of Yale College, I find, that in January, 1790, the Rev. Doctor, in a letter to Dr. F. requesting his portrait for the college, thus ingeniously expressed his desire on the subject:—
"You know, Sir, I am a Christian; would to Heaven all others were as I am, except my imperfections. As much as I know of Dr. Franklin, I have not an idea of his religious sentiments. I veil to know the opinion of my venerable friend, concerning Jesus of Nazareth.—He will not impute this to impertinence, or improper curiosity in one, who many years, has continued to love, estimate, and reverence his abilities, and literary character, with an ardor of affection. If I have said too much, let the request be blotted out, and be no more."
The Doctor, in reply to President Stiles, under date of March 9, 1790, makes this reply:—
"I do not take your curiosity amiss, and endeavour in a few words, to gratify it. As to Jesus of Nazareth, my opinion of whom, you particularly desire, I think, the system of morals and his religion, as be left them to us, the best the world ever saw, or is likely to see; but I apprehend, it has received various corrupting changes; and I have, with most of the present dissenters in England, some doubts as to his Divinity."
This letter was written about a month before the Doctor died, April 17, 1790.
Now, whether this is not a defence of Christianity, or favors of Infidelity, your readers can judge as well as
EUSEBIUS.

TO THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL.
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 rymes; 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 spangl'd 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 first 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.
