JUST PUBLISHED,
And for sale at this office, THE MONITOR, By Archibald Cameron, innkeeper of the gospel

From the Palladium.
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE WESTERN COUNTRY.
JOHN WOOD's character, literary and moral, is in his certificates, and likely to remain there: That character cannot prevent a single press between Bolton and Charleston from weekly thundering forth his infamy and disgrace. That character could not procure him a school, even of the third magnitude, in any village in Kentucky. That character cannot procure him the countenance of any man in Kentucky, who has any character himself, nor protect him against the contempt and detestation of all good men: And that character could not prevent him from recording himself a liar, in the face of those who gave it, and of the world.
I have never told the public that I was a man of talents, and shall therefore produce no certificates to prove it. Indeed, from the miserable success which Wood has experienced, I begin to doubt, whether that is the best way of establishing a literary reputation; and am inclined to believe in the maxim laid down in Xenophon, "That the surest way of obtaining the character of a learned man, was to become one." At any rate, if I ever do procure certificates, it will be on the call of a person very different from Wood.
I have said nothing respecting my moral character—I saw no occasion for doing so; and if I had, I should never have laid what Wood pretends I did.
I should have said, that no person on earth, of whatever class of politics or cast of morals, ever thought me capable of a treacherous or dishonest action. But I should readily have admitted, that the unprincipled and prostituted of every party pretended to think otherwise. From the base betrayers of official duty—from the perjured prostitutes of judicial trust, I never had any thing to hope, and well did I know it.
I never was within forty miles of Cincinnati in my life; I never received a bribe; I never betrayed the interest of a client; I never made a promise which I did not intend to fulfil; and I never raised a hope in the human breast which I intended to disappoint.
As to the house in Mount Sterling, I became master of it under the revenue laws of the United States, and of this State, for taxes due several years, before I became tenant. Of my own accord, I offered to relinquish my claim and pay rent, provided I was allowed a deduction for the repairs. My offer was accepted. Henry Clay Esq. has full knowledge of this transaction.
I am far from believing that my conduct in life has been universally pleasing; and I trust in God it never will. But as far as any of my fellow creatures have been implicated in it, or affected by it, I feel not the slightest remorse; and although at least half as fair as John Wood, I have no propensity to blush.
I have not, like John Wood, the faculty of repenting and amending as occasion may require. I feel no symptoms of repentance or reformation; and those who are displeased with any of my past or any of my present conduct, may let themselves down my eternal enemies, or change themselves—I never shall.
But to return to my text: Wood says in his 8th number, that W. P. Vanness regarded him as a friend and partizan of Col. Burr. Yet the friend and partizan charges Col. Burr with being a gigantic ring-leader of the Spanish Conspiracy; and says in his second number, that there are no men whom he holds in greater abhorrence, than the leaders of the Burr faction. All the testimony which he has produced in favour of his republicanism, is an inference, that Vanness considered him as a Burrite: Yet he says, that the Burrites in Kentucky, are only to be found among the conspirators. After this, is there a possibility of believing any thing this man may please to say? The most determined opponent, the most virulent antagonist which he ever had, could not contradict him in terms more decisive and positive, than he here contradicts himself. It would be frivolous to enquire, which of these contradictory assertions are true: for in fact, neither of them are. This is a man, whom treachery itself cannot trust. He cannot be consistent with his own falsehood, or faithful to his own villainy. This man, a little while before he came
to this State, went to Bishop Madison, confessed the sins of his political life, affected contrition, and promised reformation. That venerable prelate, confiding in his sincerity, and pitying his situation, gave him a recommendatory letter, as an introduction to honest employment; and therein testified his belief of the sincerity of his repentance. An extract from this letter, Wood has published in the last number of the Western World. But has suppressed the only part which exhibits his character and conduct in a genuine light. However, the contents of the letter are well remembered by a number of gentlemen, to whom he exhibited it last winter, while attempting to get a school in Frankfort.
John Wood, thou man of "pure religious sentiments, and irreproachable moral deportment," stand forth! Now tell us, people of the Western World, whether you told a lie to Vanness, when you informed him, that you was a friend and partizan of Col. Burr, or told us a lie, when you said that you held Col. Burr & his party in utter abhorrence. Tell us if you are not a Burrite, by what means you induced the bosom friend of Col. Burr, to return you thanks for your attachment to his cause; and if you are a Burrite, what rank you hold among the Spanish Conspirators: for you say that all the Burrites in Kentucky are Conspirators. Tell us whether you told the truth to Bishop Madison, in your contrite confessions to him, or to us, in your bullying prospectus. Tell us under what paragraph of your prospectus, you promised to prove yourself a liar; under what paragraph, you promised to propagate calumnies, the basest and most unfounded in language, the grossest and most indecent, to inspire manly sensibility with disgust, and feminine delicacy with loathing. These are all dark matters to us. We are an ignorant and illiterate people, destitute of learning and talents. You are "a man of distinguished science;" and have come here purposely to instruct us. We hope you will not withhold this information. We have further to request, that you will send the eight numbers of your paper to each of the gentlemen who have given you certificates; and from the certificates they may then give, we shall be as well acquainted with their characters, as we are now with yours.
It will be remembered, that when I commenced this investigation, I did not deny the existence of such a conspiracy—I indeed thought it incredible. I did not believe it, and called on them for proof. Tho' improbable, it was not impossible; and I am cautious of venturing an assertion respecting matters of which I am utterly ignorant. This conspiracy was said to have originated at a period long before I was in Kentucky, and when I was a child. If they had brought, if they can yet bring any credible evidence in support of it, I shall overlook all the falsehoods they have told, and acknowledge myself grateful to them, as the detectors of corruption, whatever their motives may have been.
But I am every day more convinced, that it is utterly without foundation. I have conversed with such aged men as were prime actors in every party which then existed: they all disclaim any knowledge of such a scheme.
I rely particularly on one gentleman, who, at that time stood alone—hostile to all parties, and the object of the hostility of all. He says, that if in the hour of political phrenzy and desperation, he could have found any plausible pretence for bringing forward such a charge, he would have derived every possible aid from it in support of his own cause—But that none existed—that no circumstance occurred which was calculated to excite jealousy, or create suspicion.
It will be borne in mind, that the existence of such a conspiracy remains still without proof—rests on the simple assertion of John Wood, contradicted by all his own testimony, and by the universal voice of all who had any opportunity of knowing what was then in agitation in this country.
A feeble attempt has been made in Wood's last number, to impeach the recollection of Judge M'Dowell. Those who are intimate with him, must have observed, that his memory is remarkably retentive and particular, for a man of his age, or indeed of any age; and that moral feeling is a sufficient security against his certifying any thing which he
does not know to be correct; and it could be proved, if requisite, that in this particular instance, he observed, that of every circumstance there stated, he had a clear, precise and individual recollection; that if the letter had contained any thing like what was stated by Wood, it would have been among the last things in the world which he should have forgot.
But Judge M'Dowell was not the only person who saw the letter; it has been seen by several men, not older than J. Wood, and who well remember the contents. One of these men, immediately on the appearance of the Western World, expressed the utmost astonishment at the misrepresentation. This can be proved without going out of Frankfort; and this man can be found in an adjoining county. I do not mention his name, because I know that Judge M'Dowell's evidence needs no auxiliary testimony. I only introduce the fact, to shew that even this miserable subterfuge will forsake them.
"And leave them doubly beggar'd in the end." I have heard, that the history of John Wood, which appeared in the last Palladium, has by some, been attributed to me. That history may be true, for aught I know; but I am not the author. I knew nothing of this man before he came to Kentucky; and I have known no good of him since. But when I write, I write what I know to be the truth, and do it in my own name.
WILLIAM LITTELL. From the Palladium.
August 20th, 1806.
SIR, I have been called upon by name, by a writer in the Western World of the 26th of July, who signs himself "An Observer," to produce for publication, a letter received by me from Mr. John Brown, then a member of congress, upon a suggestion that it contains the evidence of an attempt on his part, to detach this country from the union, and to subject it to the dominion of Spain. Having the original letter referred to, still in my possession, I should have felt no hesitation in submitting it to public inspection, had not the request been made in terms highly indecent and offensive. However, as the impropriety of that address, must be ascribed to the illiberality of the writer, whose motives would probably only excite contempt, were his real name published; and as others, who are anxious to obtain the means of judging correctly, have also expressed a wish to see the letter, I have concluded to publish it, and for that purpose now deliver it to you, which, with these remarks, you will please to insert in your paper.
After the application of Kentucky to Congress to be admitted into the union as an independent state, had failed of success, a difference of opinion took place, as to the course which ought to be pursued. Mr. Brown and other respectable characters, were of opinion that it was most advisable to declare this country independent, and to proceed to frame a constitution of government. In support of this opinion it was alleged that, inasmuch as Virginia had repeatedly consented by acts passed for that purpose, that this country should be erected into an independent state; and as the sense of the people on that subject, had been fully ascertained by repeated conventions, called to decide on the question, that it would therefore, be only waste of time and trouble, to travel again over the same ground; more especially as the pressure of the Indian hostilities, and the inconveniences arising from our local situation, so remote from the capital of Virginia, rendered it altogether inexpedient to encounter the delay, which would probably attend that course of proceeding. Others were opposed to this course; thinking it precipitate, unsafe, not respectful to the state of Virginia, and likely to lead to consequences not contemplated by its advocates.—I was of the latter opinion, which ultimately prevailed.
Knowing that col. Thomas Marshall concurred with me in opinion, I shewed him Mr. Brown's letter to me, in which he had expressed his sentiments on the subject. The use which was made of that letter, is known to the public, and what my motives and feelings were on that occasion, may be collected from a publication of mine, dated the 4th of September, 1790, and printed in the Kentucky Gazette of September the 13th, 1790, which I now fur-
nish you with, and request you will also publish.
I was a member of the convention of Nov. 1788, tho' not of July 1788. I recollect that genl. Wilkinson read in the convention, a memorial of a commercial nature, which he said he had presented to the Governor of New Orleans. At the commencement of the reading I was out of the house, as well as I can now recollect, and did not hear the whole of it read. I have no recollection or impression that Genl. Wilkinson or any other person moved or urged "a revolution from Virginia and the union in order to join Spain." As to the information and assurance given by Mr. Brown, I cannot at this distance of time recollect particularly; my impressions are, that he assured the convention that all they asked with respect to the navigation of the Mississippi, was in their power or their offer. And I do not hesitate to declare, there was nothing in his letter, information, or assurance, which impressed me with a belief that Mr. Brown intended to unite this country with Spain, or that his communications related to any thing, other than a commercial nature.
I should have forwarded this publication sooner, had the 4th number of the Western World been regularly received, and my ill state of health permitted.

FROM THE BOSTON CHRONICLE.
Murder of the Crew of the ship Atahulpa.
Some weeks since, a short and imperfect account was given in the papers relative to the unfortunate capt. Porter and crew, whilst trading with the natives on the North West Coast. We are now enabled by the politeness of Mr. Joel Richardson, who was Armorer on board, to give a correct narrative of the murder of capt. Oliver Porter, his two mates, Mr. Lyman Plumer, and six seamen belonging to the ship Atahulpa of Boston.
The ship Atahulpa left Boston in August 1803, bound to the North West Coast of America, for the purpose of trading with the natives. She arrived safe on the coast in January, 1804, and after visiting several small islands and purchasing skins, on the 5th June, 1805, weighed anchor from Chocknue, on the N. W. Coast, and made sail. On the 8th, arrived at Milkbank Sound, and came to an anchor within musket-shot of the village. Soon after her arrival, the chief of the Indians by the name of Kiete, came off to the ship with some more of his tribe and informed the captain that the Caroline, capt. Sturges, had failed from thence ten days before her arrival.
On the 11th, the chief again came off with his tribe, and another tribe that was there, and traded very briskly till towards night—when becoming very insolent, they were all turned out of the ship.
On the 13th, Kiete, the chief, and his tribe, again came on board in the morning, and seemed much more desirous to trade than before, which capt. Porter was very glad to see. The chief mate and two of the ship's company were then engaged in ripping the main stay-sail in pieces on the quarter deck; the second mate with two hands repairing the main top-sail; two on the starboard side of the main deck spinning spur-yarn—two more on the fore-castle making sinnett—two others on the larboard side of the main deck running shot in the armorer's forge—the cooper was making tubs—the cook and captain's steward in the gallery at their duty—and all hands as usual employed on the ship's duty; the armorer was in the steerage and the boatwain in the cabin; capt. Porter, Mr. Ratitraw, his clerk, and Mr. Lyman Plumer, (nephew of Theodore Lyman, Esq. of Bolton, ship's owner) were standing on the larboard side of the quarter deck, abreast of the cabin hatchway.
The chief Kiete, stood leaning on the rail, and called capt. Porter to look at the skins that were in a canoe along side the ship; the captain accordingly went to look over the side, when the chief, with some more Indians, laid hold of him, and gave a shout: immediately all the Indians along-side in the canoes, and those on board armed with daggers, pistols, and other weapons, leized every man on deck, who were to-
tally unprepared for so sudden an attack. A most dreadful and sanguinary contest immediately took place, when after a short but bloody engagement of about five minutes, the deck was completely cleared of them.
There were about 200 Indians, it is supposed, on board at this time. They first daggered capt. Porter several times in the back, put him in a canoe along side, and carried him on shore; and, as we were afterwards informed by capt. Smith, of the ship Mary of Boston, who was himself informed by the New Heita Tribe, was by them tied to a tree, in which unhappy and miserable situation he languished 15 days, refusing every species of nourishment offered him by these savages, occasioned by his grief at this unhappy accident.
Previous to this fatal business there were 23 hands on board—10 of whom were barbarously killed, and 9 wounded. Among the killed are Capt. Oliver Porter, Mr. John Hill, chief mate, Daniel Gooding, second mate, John G. Ratitraw, captain's clerk, Mr. Lyman Plumer, Peter Spooner, Luther Lapkam, Samuel Lapham, Isaac Sammes, cooper, and John Williams, cook. Mr. Lyman Plumer survived about two hours after he was wounded. The cook, who was shockingly cut and mangled, languished till about six o'clock the next morning.
Among the wounded were Ebenezer Baker, seaman, most dangerously, with daggers—he having two stabs in his left thigh, one in his privates, one in his back, one in his neck; Henry Thompson, seaman, very dangerously, with daggers—having one wound in his right side, one on the left shoulder, another on his left arm, and two or three small ones on the same arm, one on the right temple, and another on the left cheek; Ebenezer Williams, seaman, had three wounds in his thigh with daggers, two on his back, and one on the right shoulder with a boarding pike; Luke Bates, seaman, wounded on his right shoulder with a boarding pike; Joseph Robinson, carpenter, wounded in the left breast; Thomas Edwards, steward, stabbed on the left shoulder; William Walker, had two stabs with daggers in the small of his back.
After the decks were cleared of these sanguinary savages, several guns were fired at the village; the sails were loosed, stream cable cut, and the ship put to sea. The same night she got under way, seven large war canoes hove in sight, with about 30 Indians in each. In this deplorable condition, with only 4 or 5 hands on board capable of duty, the Atahulpa shaped her course for New Heita, but the wind shifting round she put about and stood to the westward.
On the 17th, it was thought time to bury the dead; when, after having sewed them up and got them ready for interment, prayers were read. They were then buried in Queen Charlotte's Sound.
It cannot be ascertained with any degree of accuracy, how many of the Indians were killed in this dreadful contest; it is supposed, however, that the number must have exceeded forty—for a large canoe being under the ship's bow, with about 20 Indians in her, who were cutting the stream cable, a swivel and several muskets were fired into her, and but one Indian reached the shore.
During the conflict with the savages there were two barrels of powder unheeded, and loaded pistols prepared and given to a person who stood ready, should they get into the cabin and secure to themselves the ship, to fire into it and blow the whole up, preferring to die in that manner, rather than fall into the hands of such merciless wretches.

General Miranda.—Extract of a letter from an Officer on board the Leander, dated Trinidad, July 18th.
"It is reported that Sir John Borlase Warren has arrived at Barbadoes. His intention in coming to the West Indies, is to join and assist General Miranda: he is said to have brought dispatches to General Boyer, at Barbadoes, Commander in Chief in the West Indies, authorizing and requesting him to render every possible assistance in prosecuting the expedition."
"Every thing now presents a prospect of certain success. A few short days will resolve my future happiness and prosperity, should we succeed, and I survive. My present anticipations, though sanguine, will not, I trust, prove erroneous: if we fail, my life, I expect will pay the forfeit. Should fortune frown on mankind and deny success to the noble endeavors of Gen. Miranda, life or death will be equally indifferent to me: for I never could return to my native country, to bear the humiliating scoffs and sneers (perhaps) of all my friends. While the warm breath of life flows through my bosom—while yet there is the most distant prospect of success, I will preserve the glorious phantom, and resign my life in the cause of Liberty."
"Yesterday information was received from the Main, that Don Pedro Minto, the General's particular and most influential friend had assembled an army of fifteen thousand men, and was advancing towards Caracas; that the enemies few in number, were retreating with equal speed. General Minto begs that no delay or procrastination may take place; he requests that we come and join him immediately—fays he has every thing prepared and only waits our junction to commence more effectual operations."
"Our departure from this, will take place, I presume, in a very few days; I should be happy to be tomorrow. We shall be joined here by a considerable reinforcement. Our force, that is military, will consist of about fifteen hundred men, including officers; a small part of which we obtained at Barbadoes, the remainder at this place. We are in momentary expectations of the arrival of two frigates from Barbadoes; this I believe is all that detains us at present."
BOSTON, August 5.
DIED, yesterday in this town, CHARLES AUSTIN, aged 18, son of Benjamin Austin, Esq. and member of the present Senior Class, Cambridge College—by the discharge of a pistol from Thomas O. Selfridge, Esq. The particulars of this unfortunate and melancholy affair, are so variously represented by contradictory reports, that were it in any respect proper, it would be impossible for us to give any correct detail.
We merely understand, that a dispute of a personal nature, having taken place between the father of the young gentleman deceased, and Mr. Selfridge—that on the meeting of the two latter, in State Street, yesterday about one o'clock, the unhappy event ensued, which terminated in the death of Charles Austin, on the spot. Mr. Selfridge has surrendered himself for trial.
PHILADELPHIA, August 11.
We understand, that advices of a very unpleasant tenor, have been received from Halifax. The court of Admiralty at that place, it is said, have determined to condemn all produce of enemies' colonies—and bound to enemies' ports, whether it be found on board neutral ships importing the same, or otherwise. By this latitude of condemnation, it follows, that the whole of our foreign trade will be destroyed. Admiral Berkely, who was to succeed to that station, had not arrived. It therefore does not clearly appear, whether this destructive principle is derived from recent orders or not. We are promised an abstract of the new doctrine for our next.— Relf's Gaz.
We insert with pleasure the following ample refutation of a most scandalous and unjustifiable calumny against the character of Commodore Rogers, which was imprudent, as we then thought, and still think, rung through the papers in the U. States, during the absence of that gentleman. As this refutation comes from capt. Gale himself, it is scarcely necessary to request the printers, in whose papers the charge appeared, to insert it—they doubtless will feel pleasure in promptly publishing a contradiction of so foul a calumny against this meritorious officer, of which they were unwittingly made the more extensive propagators. ( Wash. Fed. )
TO THE PUBLIC.
I have seen with a little surprise, a piece in a New-York paper of the first of March last, wherein it states I was run through the body and killed by Commodore Rogers, for remonstrating with him on the impropriety of flogging a Marine. This has been done by some scandalous person (no doubt) to injure his character, and although the effect could only be temporary, yet people in general may suppose that it originated from some misunderstanding subsisting between him and me. I can assure the public that not only myself, but every officer that served under his command, have always been on the most friendly terms with him—and the best proof of this, is, that every officer of us, will be happy to fail with him at any future period. During the time I was under his command, it is only justice to say, that he behaved towards me with every attention and politeness due to an officer.
ATHONY GALE, Capt. M. July 28, 1806.
From the Long Island Intelligencer The following extract is from the minutes of the Conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church in America for the year 1806:
The addition of 10,625 members to one branch of the Church of Christ, in one year, must afford particular pleasure to every man who knows the value of genuine religion, to every one who has experienced its salutary influence upon his own mind and duly observed or considered its blessed effect upon society. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.

N. B. Agreeable to the returns published in the said minutes, there are more than one hundred and thirty thousand members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in America, exclusive of those in Nova-Scotia, N. Brunswick and the various West-India Islands, which if added, would make about 150,000 in America. And we are informed by good authority, that from the best calculations that can be made, by the Bishops and Ministers of the said Methodist church, that their congregations, in the United States, are collectively about one million of hearers.—We are further informed, from the most authentic source, that it has been only forty years since the first appearance of Methodism in America. What an astonishing increase! Surely, This is the Lord's doing and it is marvelous in our eyes!

THE COTTAGE.
Adieu! dearest Cottage, adieu! For ah! 'tis with sorrow I ween, That I shall no longer review Thy woodland, thy turf seat so green.
No more, save in memory's eye, See the sylphs that enliven'd thy grove, And give to past pleasures a sigh, On the light of connubial love.
Yet deep in my heart shall remain The feelings engraven by thee: And fondly my heart shall retain Each image of fear, flower and tree.
And dearly remembrance shall dwell On the beauties from which I depart, And bear from the sweets of this cell Some treasure to solace my heart.
"TRIFLES LIGHT AS AIR"
A simple Hibernian, who was lately brought before the court to be bound over to his good behaviour, was told by the Judge that he must find security in 200L for twelve months. "Plais your honor," replied the poor fellow, "I am bit of a stranger here, and a good man. I hope the court will have no objections to you, for they know nothing at all about Pat."
WARM & COLD BATHS.
THE public are respectfully informed, that I have, at considerable expense, in addition to my former Baths, (on a permanent spring on my premises) erected three new Bathing Houses, one of which is solely set apart for the Ladies' use.
The use of Baths, warm and cold, were so general with the ancients, and particularly in warm climates, and the advantages to be derived from them, not only to persons in health as a luxury, but also in various acute diseases, where excruciating pain has been relieved, and sudden death often prevented, by the use of the warm bath alone; as well as the advantages to be derived both to children and persons of mature age, from the use of one or the other, as the faculty may think adapted to their case, will, the subscriber trusts, ensure the countenance and support of the citizens and others to the accommodation he hopes his baths may afford. Himself and attendants, will, from day-break 'til nine at night, wait on gentlemen; and careful female servants are provided to attend at all times on such ladies as may be pleased to encourage the attempt he has made to add to their convenience and comfort.
G. A. WEBER. N. B. Dr. Buchan, in England, and Count Rumford, a native of our own country, with numerous other writers of eminence, have so fully set forth the advantages of Warm and Cold bathing, that the reading of their works, it is presumed, will be amply sufficient to ensure remuneration to the owner, for the expenses incurred in the present undertaking. Persons may pay each time of bathing, or engage for the season. Lexington, 3d June 1806.

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. Collack boots, and fair tops too, Made neater here than any shoe, All sorts 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 expedition, He now remains their most obedient.
