TAVERN, STORAGE & COMMISSION.
THE subscriber respectfully informs the public, that he has lately opened a house of ENTERTAINMENT in Maysville, (Limestone) at the sign of the SQUARE & COMPASS. The house is commodious, the stable extensive, and both are furnished with every thing necessary for the accommodation of travellers and others, who may think proper to favor him with a call. He is provided with a large and convenient WAREHOUSE, for the reception of goods, equal, if not superior to any in the place. He will also make SALES upon COMMISSION, for those who may have any thing to transact in that way, which will be done, together with the charges for storage, upon the most reduced terms. He flatters himself, that from the experience he has had in mercantile transactions, attention to business, and a desire to be useful, he merit a part of the public patronage. SAM. JANUARY.

MADNESS.
AN effectual remedy on the human body, for that dreadful malady the bite of mad animals—it being the remedy that Dr. STROY of Lebanon, of Pennsylvania, has effected so many cures with—A number of persons have been cured by Dr. STROY and myself, that had violent symptoms of the hydrophobia, from one to two days raging. The cure can be effected as long as the constituent part of the blood is not separated; which will happen sooner or later, according to the state of body, or the effect of the bite. I would advise every person to make application as soon as the person has received the infection. No trust can be expected for the above. Michael Schaaq. Lexington, March 18th, 1805.

FOR SALE,
18,000 Acres of Land, ON the left hand side of the three forks as 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 pastureage is excellent for raising flock 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, shews clear salt 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 three hundred yards. There is also five 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 or hemp. Lexington alone, independent of the country blacksmiths, consumes thirteen thousand bushels per annum. 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 small crib they can get five hundred pounds of fish in a day, and may get by a sein, 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. A clear and indisputable deed will be given. For terms apply to Mr. Wm. Leavy Lexington, or at this office. Lexington, December 4, 1805.
N. B. There are a number of acres of clear bottom land, and several log houses upon the above lands.

For the Kentucky Gazette.
To his Excellency James Wilkinson, Governor of the Territory of Louisiana.
IF the following remarks will in any wise tend to make you a better man, or more just governor, they are given without a fee or any calculation of favour, or affection from you. Sorry am I to say, that in this land of liberty, occurrences too frequently happen, that prove to the people, the confidence of the president is misplaced, in some of his appointments to high offices. The territory is a melancholy proof. I am fully convinced that your talents have been over rated. Military you possibly may have; but not the smallest pretensions to one correct idea on civil government. I do not consider you either as a madman or a fool: far from it. You have good sense, without ever having digested it. That may in a great measure be owing to early prejudices, or the effects of a bad education. For certainly you ought to know at least, some of the laws of your own country. Instead of that, the most expert anatomist on earth, could not if your pericranium were dissected, discover the most disjointed part of a law.—Justice from you must therefore be out of the question: but a decent respect to your own character, ought to make you cautious of committing any flagrant act of injustice.—Putting morality aside, there are many inducements for you to attempt to do good. If you fail, you are in the same situation. In no wise can you be injured.—Enough of advice; and as you may not be well acquainted with what you have already done, I shall endeavour to inform you.—I hope that you will not be startled! Your ignorance of the laws may in part, plead your excuse.—The greatest misfortune that can befall you, is the loss of your office.—You will not be injured, either in life or limb: and I have no doubt, but you will take particular care, to make your internal monitor, as callous as possible. To the point. You have, in contempt of good manners, (shortly after your arrival here) denounced three-fifths of the population of this country, Americans , as the emptyings of the jails of the United States; and refugees from justice. This you have ventured to assert without reflection or knowledge. All travellers to this territory acknowledge the respectability and industry of the Americans. No part of the United States has more honest or better citizens. You have attached yourself solely and exclusively to a junte of speculators in antedated concessions, who are sycophants and flatterers of your most egregious follies: and would desert you and shun you as much as they now court your company were you to cease to be governor.
You have degraded the dignity of your high office by becoming a partisan, encouraging spies and informers, who no doubt, often tell you falsehoods, and urge you on to those acts of lunacy, which have lately become the commonplace conversation of every individual in society: even among your few friends, some of whom answer the description you gave of the Americans.
You have established a court of inquisition (for I know no other name to call it by) wherein you receive affidavits from the most detestable of mankind, to suit your purposes of persecution, injustice and wrong.
You have destroyed the peace of society by making odious distinctions between Americans and the old inhabitants. You have patronized and encouraged the prime mover of all faction in this country. He is too contemptible to be noticed, I shall not therefore, call his honesty in question, or even condescend to mention his name; but simply say when you desert him, he will not have a solitary individual left, whom he can call his friend.—Nor do I accuse you of being his real friend; far from it: he suits your purposes. He is the impudent servant, of an unworthy governor.
You have been accused by the oath of respectable men, of having directed the sheriff, to pack a grand jury.—You have refused to meet the judges in your legislative capacity, for six months past, although often requested: thereby leaving the territory without laws, and consequently without the administration of justice. You have displaced justices of the peace without cause or without a charge.
You have displaced the prothonotary of Saint Louis, without the colour of a reason: nor are you able to
find one solitary individual even among your dependants, who can accuse him of one improper act in the exercise of his official duties. His removal is consistent with your declaration "that you would remove every man from office who dared to differ with you in opinion." It shews a littleness of mind, peculiar to yourself; and leaves the impression on the minds of all thinking men, that your administration will not bear an examination.
You have illegally interfered with the duties of the commandants of the several districts, and assumed to yourself the exercise of functions belonging to them alone: and you have arrested and detained in custody (without authority) from personal motives of revenge alone, the commandant of Saint Genevieve; accusing him of saying that it took eighteen senators to make a governor. It is more than probable you will find that to be the truth: for confident I am that if the senate had correct information of your conduct, they will never consent to continue at the head of this government, a man who is so little calculated to restore that harmony to society, which all honest men desire.—You are not calculated by nature or disposition to hold any civil office.—You have no stability of principle. Your ideas are despotic; and all your acts inconsistent, and without a cause.—You have usurped to yourself the appointment of a surveyor general, giving him extraordinary fees, and prohibiting by proclamation all persons to survey their own lands, or to employ any person not authorized by him: thereby depriving the people of the power of getting their claims surveyed in time, to present them to the board of commissioners. How will you answer this to the people? Will this flagrant act of injustice, reach the City of Washington in time to save a thousand families from ruin? And who is this surveyor general, that you are fattening on the spoils of the people? Let it be recollected that it is the same individual who held this office under the Spanish government; and who is well acquainted with all the mysteries of antedated concessions. It is the same individual who nominally holds the office without executing the duties.
You have removed and appointed deputy surveyors without the concurrence of the surveyor general, or without his being acquainted with their qualifications or abilities.—What right have you to interfere with the deputies; after you have assumed the right of appointing the surveyor general? One is consistent with the other. Who but the most servile sycophant, would accept an office under your government, and then permit you to appoint his deputies?
I presume after you have read the contents of this letter, no apology will be deemed necessary, for thus publicly addressing you.—Your conduct requires it, and my feelings as a citizen of this territory urge me thus to condemn your administration: And I do assert to the world and to you, that I have not made one charge against you here, which I am not prepared to prove in a court of justice.
ARISTIDES.
From the Western American.
TO JOHN BROWN.
SIR, In the Palladium of the 9th inst, you have called on me for the proofs promised the public, in support of the opinion I had expressed as to your association with general Hovey at the time his memorial was before you. My professional avocations, at this time, prevent me from complying with your requisition: I must therefore, solicit your indulgence for a few weeks, when the proofs shall be furnished, and a candid and impartial public will decide how far I have calumniated you without evidence.
You have requested me to be particular as to the time when you became associated with the general. This might be attended to; and I hope it will prove an useful one.
You will also permit me to remind you, that you have denied any association with the general, until after the expiration of the term of your official service; and I now warn you, that my proofs will go to fix your connection with that gentleman long before the rising of congress. I have already informed you from whom my information is derived, and candor will certainly induce you to acknowledge, that I was justified in believing their statements to be correct. You will no doubt, admit that they are high authority; not only because you have yourself placed unbounded confidence in the statements of one of them, but also because they
have been held up to the public by the proceedings in the City of Washington, which have been published, by the memorial to the Senate, by the act of incorporation, and by their coming forward here as the principals in that association. How far these men may have injured and misrepresented you, is not for me at this time to determine; but if I shall be convinced of this fact, I shall feel no hesitation in doing you justice, for although it is my fixed determination not to shrink from the part I have taken in that business, I nevertheless feel no disposition wantonly to disturb you in the sweet and tranquil enjoyment of the public confidence—of that confidence which you have long enjoyed, and to which I have always thought you very justly entitled.
By what rule of just and candid construction of my expressions it is, that you have made out, what you have been pleased to call my second charge, I shall leave to yourself to explain. Your motive however is an obvious one—such a charge I have never exhibited against you, otherwise than is connected with the subject of the memorial and the report of the committee upon it. I have always believed, and every day's observation confirms me in that belief, that the canal scheme, as it is called on the Indiana side, was a scheme of speculation. Indeed, on this point, I have heard but one opinion expressed; and a few months, I suspect, will shew considerable light on this part of the subject.

RICHMOND, Va. Jan. 30.
A letter from a gentleman at Washington to his friend in this city, announces the rumor of the most important intelligence: Bonaparte had dictated an armistice at Vienna; the Emperor of Austria and the king of Hungary had put all his strong holds and fortified places into his hands as a preliminary to the peace, that was to follow; and Bonaparte, besides levying a million of dollars upon Venice, had levied enormous contributions upon the two Austrias, the Tyrol, Corinthia, Styria, &c.
We know not what confidence is to be placed in the preceding rumor; but there is one fact, which considerably flatters our faith. We have carefully looked over our New-York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore papers, which came by the Tuesday evening's mail, and they do not furnish a single fact to corroborate it. The ship Huntress had indeed arrived at New-York from Bordeaux, but the political intelligence which she furnishes "is not so late as that received at Norfolk by the Highland Mary ." The only interesting article is the following additional bulletin, from the army of Italy, with the extract which follows under the Paris head.
Fifth Official Bulletin of the Army of Italy.
14th Brumaire. After some hours repose at Montebello, the army pursued the enemy to Vincence.—The gates of the city had been walled up; the enemy were summoned to evacuate it; their reply was in the negative. A sentiment of humanity had dictated the summons of the general in chief; it was indispensably necessary to force a passage, and to point cannon and some howitzers against the gates, and unfortunately against the city itself. We entered it at the break of day. The precipitation with which the enemy retreated, obliged them to abandon a thousand wounded, and to leave part of the contents of several magazines at our disposal. In the course of the day we made 300 prisoners.
The Austrians retreated by the road to Bassano. The army followed them and continually harassed their rear. At the separation of roads to Bassano and Treviso, they directed their march towards the latter city, burning behind them the bridge which is over the rapid stream near Pau. Having arrived at the village of Saint Pierre in Gu, we found it occupied by a body of troops, which we charged vigorously. The village was carried after a combat which again procured to us 600 prisoners, and one piece of cannon.
We marched towards the Brenta. The van arrived at the moment when the enemy were attempting to destroy the bridge. There began from one bank to the other a heavy cannonade, which the night only put a stop to.
The army was under arms on the right bank. At four o'clock in the morning, I caused several regiments of cavalry with light troops mounted behind, to ford the river, while the bridge was repairing. The army soon filed off, and we arrived at Cittadella in sufficient time to carry the last posts of the enemy. At five o'clock in the evening, we entered Castelfranco, and our chasers had already occupied Salrathunda and Albaredo. The General in chief felt the necessity of granting some hours to the wants of the Army. In our march from Montebello we have taken more than 1800 prisoners.
The right division marched towards Padua, where it arrives to day; the left went by the Sette Comuni toward Bassano, which it will occupy to-morrow.
The army marches towards Padua.
Paris, 23d Brumaire (14 Nov.) The following is an extract of a letter from Milan, dated the 9th November, which contains details respecting the flight of the Archduke Charles, subsequent to those which we read in the 5th bulletin from the army of Italy. "At the moment in which I am writing to you, the whole of Italy must have been evacuated by the Austrians. It was expected that they would endeavour to retreat through Styria and Corinthia, which might still have afforded them some passages by which to escape from the grand army. The Archduke Charles believed that he saw a more speedy retreat in the Tyrol, and he will there be placed between two fires. Austrian prisoners and defectors come in in crowds. They express joy at finding themselves among the French, and above all, at having bread to eat. They cannot express all the hardships which they have suffered. A contribution of 400,000 francs has been imposed by the French on Verona, and one million on Padua. The Austrians have abandoned Venice; but it is believed that it is yet occupied by the Russians. The greatest joy prevails in the kingdom of Italy."
But should the rumor at Washington be correct, and the condition of Austria seems to justify the supposition of such, or even more fatal disasters, the condition of Europe, and we may say, of the whole civilized world, is beyond all description full of forebodings. But for the maritime ascendancy of England, the idea of an universal monarchy, seems to be now something more than a mere visionary chimera. In comparison of Bonaparte, Charles V. or Lewis XIV. may indeed be pronounced mere "miserable drivellers." What then are we to think of the melancholy aspect of Europe, when we see her thus reduced to the necessity of owing her preservation from universal despotism, to the countervailing power of another nation, who never possessed power but to abuse it? When such is the state of society, that the tyrant of the seas deserves to be hailed as the friend of liberty, it is time to adopt the paradoxical maxim of some philosophers, that the equipoise of the moral universe is only maintained by the balancing of one evil against another.
HORRID MURDER!!
Extract of a letter to a gentleman Richmond dated Halifax January 10
"There happened in this country a few days since, the most brutal murder ever known. The murderer is in the hands of the law, and is to undergo an examination this day. It is in proof that Willis Williams, a young man late from Kentucky in character of a horse trader, did in open day, with a pole-axe beat out the brains of a young man named John Dixon, the store-keeper of Lipscomb Ragland & Co. in the store-house of the same; after which he robbed the trunks, &c. of the house and took out of them money and bank notes to the amount of 1500 or 2000 dollars after which the rascal locked the door, leaving the dead body alone in the house, threw away or secreted the key, concealed the ax in the neighbouring woods and concealed dollars, together with the merchants private papers in a hollow tree; all of which were found."
The Post-rider informs us, that about 8 days ago, atrocious murders had been committed, within seven miles of Clark'sborough.—A young negro fellow, induced by another, that he would purchase his freedom with his master's money, was instigated to murder his master, (one M c Dannell) his wife and step daughter—during this horrid operation, the fellow split his own hand with his master's knife; yet he went to alarm the neighborhood, saying that the Indians had come in, and murdered the family, suspicions, however, arising, he was apprehended—being whipped he confessed his crimes, and was buried the next day.
[Augusta Chronicle.]
A very interesting cause was lately determined in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Patrick Lyon, a very ingenious mechanic of Philadelphia, was, in 1798, committed to, and confined several months in prison, on suspicion of having been accessory to the robbery of the bank of Pennsylvania. While he was imprisoned, if we mistake not, besides the very great injury he sustained in his business, his wife and children were carried off by the fever. His innocence at length appearing, by the conviction of the perpetrator of the robbery, Mr. Lyon was enlarged; when he instituted an action for damages against the bank of Pennsylvania. The cause came on the week before last, was argued several days by the most eminent lawyers in the state, and a verdict of Twelve Thousand Dollars damage, was brought in by the jury! [Raleigh Reg.]

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 3.
LETTER, From Achmet Bashaw to the President of the United States. [Accompanying a message from the President of the United States of 18th January, 1806.]
EXCELLENCE,
For nearly eleven years, I have been labouring under the weight of misfortune; but notwithstanding which, my distress was never equal to that which the actual combination of circumstances has made it.
My residence was at Cairo, when there arrived in Alexandria, a brig commanded by capt. Hull, in company with gen. Eaton, who came recommended to Mr. Briggs, H. B. M. consul, and enquired of him where I could be found. My place of abode being made known, a courier was dispatched from Cairo, by order of the general, and on his arrival at Razid, a second one which came to Cairo, directed to the house of Tursul Bashaw, an officer of the Ottoman Porte, who received a letter in which he was requested to suffer me to pass without interruption, in order that I might co-operate with the Americans to take Tripoli. These things being communicated to me, caused me to reflect seriously, whether they could be true or not. All doubts were dissipated by gen. Eaton's meeting in Cairo, my secretary, named Mahumed Mezaluna, to whom he consigned another paper, and in company with two Maltese, arrived at Said, my place of residence, and delivered to me a dispatch, urging me to leave that place immediately, in order that we might have a meeting (which really happened) in the city of Damintur, where the general was made known to me as one who had been sent thither by your excellency for the conquest of the kingdom of Tripoli. I engaged to go with him to Syracuse, and also to keep myself secret, from which circumstance I was necessarily compelled to abandon all I possessed, and thus lose my horses, camels, &c. Previous to my leaving Demintur, gen. Eaton assured me the peace would never be made, unless I was placed in my own seat (throne) and often swore by himself that he would never take me from where I was for the sole purpose of making the conquest.
I did not, however, fail to suggest to the general, that in case Jusuf Bashaw should actually remain conqueror, what part he would take in my favour, as I should not be able to remain any longer in the Turkish dominions. I was answered, if the combinations of war should prove favorable to Jusuf Bashaw, that a pension should be granted me, sufficient to maintain my family and suite, the people and money by me, to effect this object (for such a movement) were ready, and that I had better expedite my secretary to captain Hull, to inform him, that the general had conducted me from Upper Egypt to Syracuse, but that I could not trust myself at sea, in the manner he had. My envoy having executed his commission, arrived first in Syracuse, and soon afterwards at Malta, in consequence of the absence of capt. Hull from the first (place) and whom he afterwards found in the second place (Malta) and executed his embassy:—He was answered by the same (Hull) that every thing I could possibly want was ready, and in fact, there was sent me a vessel, laden with supplies and provisions, accompanied by the brig commanded by capt. Hull, which arrived at Bomba, delivering to the general and myself a dispatch to him directed from the commodore, in which he renders Hull responsible for every thing I might want: I then asked for cannon, powder and other warlike supplies, and was answered that a frigate was hourly expected, and that they would be sent to me.—I afterwards left Bomba, in company with gen. Eaton, and we pursued our route towards Derne, arriving near it in twelve hours. Such a voyage made me extremely happy, as well as my people, while the manner in which we were treated by the general, excited universal admiration; his dignified foul (conduct) merits applause. We were scarcely on the 12th hour of our voyage, when we saw a schooner, which brought us two pieces of cannon, and nothing more. After an attack of two hours, in which all the troops applauded and admired the courage of gen. Eaton, Derne was taken (as the people of that country were much in our favor) & in which attack the general was wounded in the hand.
After the capture of the city, we received from the chiefs of the brigands, letters offering to join us. After ten days a troop of cavalry and infantry (of the enemy) advanced—they were twice broken and put to flight by us. We now asked from the schooner, which had been sent us, people and arms, while there remained a respite and peace and were waiting an answer, respecting our demand for people and arms in order that we might go and take Benghazi, and Tripoli; in the mean time arrived a frigate which we supposed had brought us people, but she landed a Turkish ambassador from Jusuf Bashaw, who informed the general of the alliance of Jusuf Bashaw with your excellency; saying that the said Bashaw would restore my family, and that your excellency would give me in the name of the U. S. a pension. The same evening of the arrival of the frigate, the general informed me, that I must embark with all my people; and thus was; and thus was again compelled to abandon all I possessed—the general having prevented the Turkish ambassador from landing, and thus we parted for Syracuse, where we found the whole squadron. I daily expected my family, when finally I was told that he (the Bashaw) would not let them go; having thus broken his word, I demanded of the general, to be replaced in my own country, which was also denied me, saying that he had no orders to that effect from your excellency, and it is thus I find myself in this country, with the small pension of two hundred dollars per month, and on which sum I am to support myself with a number of people. Such a state of things makes me feel that the weight of misfortune has only increased; and for the first time am completely abandoned, and by a great nation; Therefore I fling myself on the mercy of your excellency, who under the influence of just laws, will not fail to render me that justice which oppression and misfortune entitle me to. With the hope of an early reply from your excellency, I remain, &c. &c. &c. (Signed) ACHMET BASHAW, Son of Ali Bashaw, &c. &c. &c. Syracuse, August 5th, 1805. His excellency the President of the United States of America.

No Mail from the Eastward, farther than Chillicothe.
[The following is from a Chillicothe paper of the 20th—after inserting the article published in our last, relative to the hostile appearance of the Indians.]
Since writing the above, we learn that a second express has arrived from Madriver, with dispatches for the governor, and that general Kenton, major Moore, captain M c Pherson and Mr. M c Ilvain went to the Indian council, but could not get admittance, they had, however, a conversation with about eight or ten Indians, who met them at some distance from the council house. The Indians received a few strings of white wampum,—professed friendship for the white people, but at parting manifested hostile views, by giving their left hands, &c.—The above gentlemen are fearful of consequences; but nothing appears certain as to the views or object of the Indians.
We are informed the governor has sent a message or speech, to the chiefs, with a large fine belt of white wampum, and has given such instructions as will, it is hoped, in a few days, bring news that will restore the public quiet. We are also led to believe, that orders have issued to brigadier-general Whiteman, of Green county, how to prepare and act, if necessity should require it.
Extract of a letter from a member in Congress to a gentleman of this town dated January 20th, 1806.
The difficulty of forming an opinion what decision our great national questions might receive, has prevented my writing sooner. By great national questions, I mean the steps we should take to correct or prevent the impairment of American seamen by foreign armed vessels, and the depredations on our commerce, and carrying-trade contrary to existing treaties and the law of nations, but it is believed the business has now assumed a shape. Mr. Gregg presented a resolution herewith enclosed (for the resolution see our last)—something of this nature I am persuaded will pass, perhaps with more extensive provisions; such as to prohibit exportations—at least to the colonies—Sequestrations, &c. What the effect of such measures may be, is hard to decide; but my impression is, that they will result in WAR. (Chillicothe paper.)
THE PEACE IS IN VIENNA—There can be no doubt that the Emperor of Austria intended, by the invasion of Bavaria, to annex that government to his own; and thus to carry his jurisdiction from the Danube to the Rhine.—Austria was, Prussia probably now is the first German power. The Prussian communications with Mr. Pitt, are still a mystery; but we shall soon know "who is the dupe." Never was there such a campaign as that of October and November, 1805: 200,000 German and Russian soldiers have been defeated, taken, or dispersed in 60 days!—Boat. Ch.
