To the Managers of the Lexington Medical Lottery.
GENTLEMEN, AS you were appointed by our Legislature to superintend the management of the Lexington Medical Lottery, the laudable object of which, it was presumed, you were acquainted with. It is said by some of our citizens that an exertion has never been made by you to forward the sale of tickets, that their confidence in your liberality and your love of science had taught them to expect.
But we are not to draw such unwarranted conclusions from the slow sale of the tickets. It would be an ungenerous reflection to indulge, to suppose that your minds are in such a state of quiescence that they can only be roused to action by the stimuli of interest.
But we are induced to seek the cause amongst the public, where we can find it, whose minds are too much occupied with their own concerns, to mind what they esteem relative to mankind in general.
Should the Lottery be carried into execution, it cannot fail of being a great advantage to our state; but more particularly to the town of Lexington. When we view the immense experience that America has been at sending persons to Europe formerly, the present source of wealth the medical school is to Philadelphia, we are warranted from examples, the surest guides, to declare with certainty, that a similar establishment in our University would be of great advantage in this town.
Admit, for a moment, that one hundred medical students attend at this place, for the prosecution of medical science. Their boarding at 25. per annum, each, the whole must amount to 2500. Their clothing books and extra expenditures, will amount to a sum equal to their board. The sum, then, that must circulate in town amongst the merchants, mechanics, &c. will annually amount 5000.
It is by no means improbable, if medical science was planted in our University, that the number of students we have stated would attend, for they are more than doubled in number in other schools in America.
The expenses calculated are not exaggerated. They are such as are known at present to be paid by medical students in this place.
Admitting it would not increase the wealth of this place to establish here a medical school (which we will not grant does not what relates to the welfare of the body deserve our immediate concern? Life, when burthened with disease, is but a complication of woe. Health is the choice seasoning which gives a relish to all our enjoyments. And as the end of medical science is to restore and preserve health, the welfare of every individual of whatever age or sex, is concerned in the improvement of it amongst them.
Medical science, like other things of importance, is difficult to acquire and extensive in its researches, and presupposes the knowledge of many other sciences. The cultivation of it requires no small abilities, and demands of those who engage in this arduous pursuit an enlarged and benevolent mind.
But notwithstanding these difficulties, this science must still be productive of very great advantages, and do honor to an university of learning, to a town and country. Where the wisdom of well concerted laws, and the encouragement given to promote it, an effectual establishment is sufficient.
While such a spirit of enquiry prevails in several departments of science, even what flowers bloom in remote India, shall medicine alone be left in the background? shall we not rather examine what more immediately relates to ourselves? Shall we not rather examine into the structure of our own bodies, and the laws by which the animal economy are governed? The answer to these questions is plain. We ought at least to apply a part of our time to such pursuits as might enable us to find out the nature of those multiplied calamities, to which the human frame is unavoidably exposed, and the means of removing and alleviating those calamities.
Gentlemen, believing it your's and the sentiments of every well informed citizen, that there are difficulties that attend the study of Medicine, in the western parts of America, which the diligence of the student cannot conquer until regulations are made which will put the science on a better footing. Admitting this is the prevalent opinion, the only difference remaining is relative to the time proper to make such establishments, and what means must be used to effect the purpose, so as to advance medical science.
Respecting the statements I have heard frequently made, that this was an improper time, that the country was in an infant state, and that every attempt to establish a medical school here, would be premature. I can by no means admit the force of this objection. Kentucky can boast of liberty, ease and luxury; is it not then high time that the would take into consideration the cultivation of a science that has for its object the health of mankind.
But there is another objection made, which claims an answer: "There has not offered a coalition of able men who would undertake to give a complete course of lectures." The same objection
was made several years ago in Scotland. But when the school was instituted for teaching the various branches of medicine, and the rewards offered were sufficient to attract the notice of men of abilities. No sooner was done than a few young gentlemen of Scotland, then prosecuting their medical studies at Leyden, concerted a plan, undertook the task, and how well they succeeded is generally known. They immortalized themselves and enriched their country. At home they were viewed as Guardian Angels—Abroad high borne on the wings fame; and while the name of the good and great shall be remembered, which will long out live huge masses of marble, the name of Cullen, Clerk, Monroe, Hope, and Black, with several others, shall be pronounced with rapture.
The same objection was made to the establishment of the medical school in Philadelphia; but it was done greatly to the advantage of that city, and honor of their university. Their professors are famed for new and useful discoveries, genius and great liberality of sentiments, not tied down to any routine of practice sanctioned by custom, not by reason; not enlisted under the banners of any ambitious leader blinded by interest; not urged by propensity to distort facts and torture principles for the temporary establishment of a favorite system; but they are boldly unravelling nature's laws, the pleasing task for the sons of science. They fill their chairs with honor, and shine like stars of the first magnitude.
Although our state is not in a situation to carry a plan on a large scale, into execution, we may lay the foundation—we have fair prospects of success. Already have we got physicians amongst us that are ornaments to their profession. Already has honorable mention been made of the Lexington Medical Society and its honorary members in literary productions of merit. Already has our sister states favored us with the sons Asculapius. Many other circumstances conspire to invite and encourage you to use your influence in promoting medical knowledge. Literature at present, in our University is wearing profperous features; our town is healthy, elegantly situated and thriving. Here are advantages which boasting Europe would be proud to claim, but does not enjoy. This western part of America may be looked upon as offering the richest mines of natural knowledge yet unexplored, sufficient to gratify the laudable thirst of glory in your enquirers into nature. Such discoveries will be brought to view, that must enrich medical science, and long perpetuate the name of some Kentucky Darwin.
Before closing these remarks, I declare if I am wrong, that my error was not the effect of prejudice, for I am not biased by hopes of present or future emolument. Should your tickets meet with the sale they deserve, or not—should this town encourage medical science, or blind to its interest, refuse its assistance, in the former case I should only partake of the general advantages, and in the latter only suffer with the suffering.
A CITIZEN.
For the Kentucky Gazette.
A TOUCH FOR AN APOSTATE.
SINCE the shameful and flagitious intrigue of col. Burr, there has not been as vile and profligate an attempt to sow the seeds of faction and disunion among the republicans, as that lately commenced by a writer under the signature of a "True Republican." With all his vaunted impartiality, and zeal for the peace and prosperity of the union; "a full conviction that his opinions are correct and his motives pure; that they are consonant to the spirit of the constitution, and agreeable to the wise policy of its present administration," it is easily discovered that his ideas never extended beyond the personal views, or individual aggrandizement of John Breckinridge. I know not the writer, but whoever he may be, he deserves the execration of every friend to the government. It may be B. himself;—his folly, insatiable ambition, and consummate vanity, would prompt him to any thing. It may be a kind of understrapper of his, a school-master, a pettifogging attorney, or a mouth piece that has already been his trumpeter. It must at least be conceded, that the dangerous opinions advanced by the "True Republican," are those of B. or he as an honest man, and feeling a solicitude for his future reputation would have disavowed them. Eleven days have elapsed since the publication! I consider the piece as coming from B. and as such shall treat it.
And pray who is this assuming, self-sufficient gentleman that is palming himself upon the citizens of the U. S. as a candidate for the next vice presidency? what are the grounds of his pretensions? what the services he has done that entitles him to expect the suffrages of his fellow citizens for this dignified office? within five years his name was scarcely known without the woods of Kentucky. As an attorney, he is considered a man of eminence among county court backs; but it has never been, nor can be pretended by those who know him or his profession, that he is a profound lawyer—as a statesman? None can be given that add celebrity to his name. It may be that he made a speech on the repeal of the midnight judiciary law—true; it
was the preparation of months, and like of the different parts of the Union should act in concert with each other... certain partialities, which B. feels ve- ry sensibly, must be sacrificed to the common good. There is nothing strange in this—Government, society are matters of mere compromise. B. "clubbed" his interest with several other candi- dates, and staked his chance of being nominated to the vice presidency, upon the decision of the caucus. He was concerned in the meeting; he was con- senting to its measures. I defy him or his friend to assert the contrary; and had he received 80 instead of 20 votes, we would have heard nothing of the dan- ger of a caucus, state jealousies, the ex- istence of a "dangerous faction."--- What, are we to be told that the act of three fourths of the republican members of Congress, is the act of a faction? It is well known, it was never pretended, that a nomination made in this way, was binding on the electors---It is presumed that it will always have its influence--- its only design is to enable the republi- cans of the different parts of the Union, to act in concert with each other--- without an adherence to this system, we shall immediately be embarrassed by a number of candidates; we shall be split up into factions; nothing but discord and dissension will pervade the Union; and what with these and trimmers, tem- porisers, third party men, luke-warm re- publicans, and federalists, we shall soon have the administration of the govern- ment, in a more desperate situation than it has ever been hitherto.
It is of importance to compare the sentiments of this assuming "True Republican," with those of the Feds. of the present day. If ever he was a republican, he is now an abandoned apostate---Hethat runs may read. Examine the federal news-paper publications from one end of the continent to the other; and the speeches of federal members last winter, on the amendment to the constitution; the contemptible letters of P. Butler, and it will readily be perceived that this piece contains the very sentiments and opin- ions of the most rancorous and pro- fligate federalists in the union. I make the assertion with the boldness of truth, for it is only for my fel- low citizens to scrutinize the sub- ject in the way I have suggested, to be convinced of its correctness. It will also be discovered that the wri- ter is a worthless hypocrite in as- suming a name to which he has no pre- tension.
As to the lofty rant of the "True Republican," on the infirmi- ties and approaching dissolution of G. Clinton, it deserves a single re- mark only. I would sooner believe that B. will be insane and confined in a mad house before the next elec- tion, than that any of his predi- ctions in relation to Clinton or Mr. Jefferson, will be verified.
CRE TOMB. P. S. We may possibly hear some- thing in a few days of an intrigue with candidates and would be can- didates, for electorships.

"True to his charge— He comes, the Herald of a noisy world, 'News from all nations lumb'ring at his back.'"
LEXINGTON, JULY 10.
The date at the head of this paper should have been July 10.
CERTAIN anonymous publications which have lately appeared in the public papers of this State, having called the attention of the Electors towards me as a candidate for the office of Vice President of the United States; least such publications may have the smallest tendency to injure the election of Mr. Clinton, I have thought it incumbent on me thus publicly and explicitly to declare, that I disclaim every such pretension; and I do respectfully request, that the Electors into whose hands any of these publications may fall, to consider this as an utter refusal on my part to be placed on the list of those to be voted for, for that office.
JOHN BRECKINRIDGE.
5th July, 1804.
The printers who have published any of the pieces above alluded to, will be pleased to insert this also.
To Mr. Danl. Bradford, Lexington.
EDITORS of News-Papers are justly considered the guardians of the rights of the people—and where the liberty of the press is unrestrained, there is little to fear from the oppressive hand of tyranny. A News-Paper conducted with firmness and independence, is the greatest safeguard to our liberties, inasmuch as it develops the characters of candidates for office, and exposes their ambitious views—tears the hypocritical cloak from the hypocrite, and holds up his deformity to the scorn and contempt of the public. By it the base, delinquent knave is humbled, and the steady, upright patriot is exalted.
Whilst the Editors of papers in the sister states were violent on political subjects, I was contented with observing the strictest neutrality. The unanimity which prevailed among the citizens of Kentucky, made a different procedure unnecessary. The violence of party had not reached our state; and the exposure of federal depravity was not considered important. But since the conduct of the man who has had the confidence of the people—who has stood highest in the public estimation,—has left strong grounds to suspect his political integrity—since his intrigues may have the most baneful influence on the political reputation of the western people—I think it time to lay aside that neutrality which has always characterised the Kentucky Gazette, and to assume a position more decisive.
I shall therefore call the attention of my fellow citizens to the conduct of John Breckinridge now a senator in the congress of the United States. In enquiring into the part he has acted, I can assure him and the public, that I am not actuated by any private animosity or personal dislike—I shall "nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice."
I am aware of some of the difficulties which must be encountered by arraigning the conduct of Mr. Breckinridge before the public—but conceiving it the duty of every Editor of an independent Gazette, to arrest the career of ambition, by drawing aside the veil of duplicity and hypocrisy, and thereby to exhibit the political depravity of those concerned.
Early in the month of June, a piece was put into my hands for publication, expressing the sentiments contained in the "True Republican." I endeavoured to impress the author with the impropriety of publishing such sentiments; and observed, that it might injure the election of Mr. Jefferson. In order to obviate my objections, he informed me, that he was authorised to say, that unless the constitution should be amended, Mr. Breckinridge would withdraw all pretensions to the Vice Presidency, or words to that effect. He, however, at length withdrew the manuscript, apparently satisfied that its publication would be improper.
About the twentieth of the same month, whilst I was absent on business, the author again presented the piece, and my brother, who had the management of the office, again declined publishing it, until I should return. It was withdrawn a second time, and appeared in the Independent Gazetteer of the 29th.
In Mr. Breckinridge's note to me, he has declared explicitly, that he disclaims every pretension to the Vice Presidency; and has utterly refused to be placed on the list of those to be voted for that office. If he was sincere in this declaration, why did he not make it earlier? The publication of the "True Republican," was on the 29th June, and yet Mr. Breckinridge remained silent until the 5th July! Is there not sufficient ground for presuming that he waited to hear the expression of the public opinion, with the intention of acting as that expression might dictate? And if that opinion had been different, is there not a strong probability, that the declaration never would have been made?
Mr. Breckinridge may be innocent—I sincerely will he may—but the whole business "has an awful squinting." His conduct bears in every part such analogy to that of Aaron Burr's, that there are the strongest grounds to suspect him. At the very time that Burr was said to be intriguing for the presidency, he wrote to Gen. Smith, disclaiming all pretensions of being a candidate in opposition to Mr. Jefferson—Mr. Breckinridge has also disclaimed every pretension to the Vice Presidency. Col. Burr's object was evidently to deceive the representatives of the people—Mr. Breckinridge's declaration is thought to be equally candid.
But if the publication of the "True Republican," did not meet the approbation of Mr. Breckinridge, why was the writer authorised to say, that he would withdraw all pretensions if the constitution should not be amended? Who could have authorised him except Mr. Breckinridge himself? And for what purpose was he authorised to make the declaration? If Mr. Breckinridge knew that the piece was designed for publication, and took no steps to prevent it, it will be considered as tacitly approving of its contents.
The reputation of a man should be handled with the greatest caution—it should not be touched but on important occasions, and a great presumption of guilt. I should not have interfered but upon the fullest conviction of Mr. Breckinridge's apostasy—but under that conviction silence would be criminal. I again repeat, that I will he may prove innocent. For the honour of republicanisin I will it—For the honour of our country I will it—I will it for the honour of human nature. But should no satisfactory reasons be given for his conduct before the next publication, he shall again hear from
DAN. BRADFORD.
Mr. Bradford, A publication has appeared in your paper setting forth that if I succeeded in my election that I would vote for John Breckinridge as Vice President. Whoever handed it to you was mistaken. I have no wish to divide the Republican interest, but will conform to the plan adopted by the Republicans.
J. PRICE.
In order to remove any impression that the above may make respecting myself, and to give Mr. Price a clue by which he can trace the publication alluded to, to its source, I can inform him, that the piece was handed for publication, by Capt. William Stevenson, of Fayette county.
DAN. BRADFORD.
No mail was received yesterday farther from the eastward than Pittsburgh, which causes our paper to be unusually barren as to foreign intelligence. Sundry advertisements and communications, are unavoidably omitted this week for want of room.
By the latest accounts from New-York, it appears that two British frigates are lying there, the Cambrian and the Boston, who have given a challenge to two French frigates, the Cybele and Didon, whether it will be accepted by the Frenchmen or not is not stated. The Cambrian had impressed all the seamen from on board the British merchantman the Pitt, whilst in our port. A spirited remonstrance, and application for their release was made by the mayor of the city to the British consul, who stated that he possessed no power over armed vessels—he however wrote to the captain, recommending that the men should be immediately delivered up, which was complied with.
NEW-YORK, June 20.
COMMUNICATION. Intelligence which might be expected.
Last evening the ship Jefferson of 74 guns, and the ship Clinton of 50 guns, both belonging to the United States, failed for Sandy Hook, in
consequence of certain French and British armed vessels having arrived in the harbour.—The ships of the United States, it is said, have anchored in the outer side of the British vessels, and have received positive orders to enforce the law of nations. No fight is to be suffered in this neutral port; and if the French vessels choose to fail, they are to be allowed the usual time. It is thought a still greater force would have been felt, had not a number of frigates been on their way to fight the Tripolitans.
A. B.
STATE OF IRELAND.
Extract from a letter received in Philadelphia per the Susan, which arrived at New-York 31st May—dated
DUBLIN, April 5, 1804. "It is dismal to view the state of this kingdom at present, all the horrors of 1798 and '99 are renewed; every man who may come under the description of suspected persons, is dragged from their families and abodes, and either immured in a jail or prison ship. Hostages have been taken out of every country and transmitted to this city where they are closely confined and separated from each other. This is pretended to be in consequence of French agents being lately in different parts of the kingdom, from whom the report is that a visit is hourly expected, others believed that the first descent will be made on Scotland; and which the government appears to be aware of. We have expected them here for some time back, and I am convinced that if a descent is made on Scotland it will be only a diversion—you may rely upon it that Ireland is the ground.—There are many worthy and wealthy men made prisoners of late—the venerable Mr. Dixon of Kilmainham, Messrs. Redmonds of Fleet street, Colgrave of Newry, Count O'Gorman of the county Clare, and many other gentlemen of the first respectability in the different parts of the kingdom.—Many of the state prisoners who were transported from Fort George have been lately here, I understand that all of them except the brave unfortunate captain Russel who was taken some time ago, and executed in the North, have got safe off for France and Holland, but with a promise to return as soon as possible."
"Shortly after the 23d of last July, the martial law was proclaimed in the city and county of Dublin, afterwards extended to the counties of Wicklow, Kildare, Carlow, Tipperary, and Cork; lately it has made its way to the Kings and Queens counties, to Meath, West Meath, Longford, the upper district of Cavan, and entire of the counties of Roscommon, Sligo, and Mayo. By proclamation every officer from a General to sergeant is empowered to seize the persons of every one suspected of want of loyalty—this authority has given the military power so uncontrolled, and they use it with so much licentiousness, that men of the first respectability are daily dragged to guard houses, their property destroyed, and in many late instances their families violated in a manner that would shock humanity to hear of."
"I assure you that any charge which might take place here would be willingly received by the great body of the people of all descriptions, for add to all I have said fresh additional taxes which took place on the twenty ninth September, on the things that we thought could not have borne it."
"There is great dissatisfaction in the militia, so much so, that 10 guineas are afforded to every man of them who will volunteer their services to England, Scotland or Guernsey."
"The government are receiving donations from £1 to what you please—many men have sacrificed large sums to this mandate merely to purchase by this evidence of loyalty their freedom from prison ships or gaol. I am credibly informed that our present attorney general has pocketed upwards of £10,000 by procuring the release of some wealthy Catholics of Cork, and the adjoining counties who had been confined off Dunkannon fort in a prison ship. It would appear that the officers of the present government foresee their dissolution, as it is every one for themselves, and they descend to the lowest arts of meanness. There are several ladies still confined on charges of treason. I shall mention a few of those—Miss Monroe, sister to the late—Miss Dixon of Banbridge—Miss Shaw of Dundalk, a Quaker lady died in prison. The case of Miss Shaw was particularly distressing, she had been taken
early in the month of August last committed to the castle Carrickfergus, together with her two brothers—She was shortly after removed to the common goal and separated from all her connections—She was thrown into a damp cell, where she survived only a few weeks—even in her dying moments neither her mother nor sisters were permitted to see her. This act has been sensibly felt even by the enemies of Republican Irishmen, as those formerly called united men are now called."

PUBLIC NOTICE Is hereby given, that the sale of Lots in the Town of
CARTHAGE, Will take place on the 23d day of August, and continue from day to day until sold.—Carthage is situated on the Ohio river, in Henderson county, about a mile and a half below the mouth of Highland creek, and between 4 and 5 miles above the mouth of the Wabash river, being established agreeable to an act of Assembly in that case made and provided. It is an high, healthy, and elegant situation, being entirely out of danger from overflowing, and is watered by four never failing springs; commands a view of the river up and down, for at least 15 miles; and has that advantage which few towns in the state possess, situated on the Ohio river, of being surrounded by a tract of country equal, if not superior to any part of the state for its productiveness and luxuriance of soil, the emigration to which has at least doubled itself in the course of 1 year. The Medicinal Springs at Weedon's Lick, so much celebrated for their healing virtues, as to induce the attendance of at least 150 persons the last season (many of which came as far distant as Vincennes, Kaskaskia and Detroit) are within ten miles. The country between which places being such as to admit of a road equal to any in the state.
The proprietors have commenced building, and intend completing with all possible speed a complete set of law and grant Mills, immediately on the banks of the river and adjoining the town, the water for which is taken out of Loft creek in a canal, by which is procured fifteen feet head and fall above the highest water that has been last season in the Ohio river; which, together with many other local & peculiar advantages too tedious to enumerate, ought to make it an object worthy the attention of the merchant and mechanic, and more particularly the enterprising shipbuilder, who will never have to wait with anxious expectation for the rising of the floods to wait his property over the rapids, or take it off the sand bars of the tributary streams of this most beautiful river. The terms will be made known on the day of sale, where due attendance will be given by
John Gray, & Willis Morgan. } Prop's. June 15, 1804.

EXTRACT. FOR THE LADIES.  THE shape alone let others prize, Or features of the fair; I look for spirit in her eyes, And meaning in her air.  A damask cheek, a snowy arm, Shall ne'er my wishes win; Give me the animated form, That speaks the mind within.  A face where awful honor shines, Where feign'd and softness move, And angel innocence refines The tenderness of love.  These are the foul of beauty's frame, Without whose vital aid, Unfinish'd all her features seem, And all her roses fade.  "Trifles light as air."

COMMUNICATION.
A REPUBLICAN FESTIVITY.
July 4, 1804.—Scott County.
In commemoration of the Anniversary of American Independence, the citizens of Scott convened at the Republican Lyceum, half mile from the Big Crossings—The company of Ladies and Gentlemen was numerous, supposed to be about 1500 or 2000—A number of Gentlemen under the name of the Republican Society, prepared a Barbacue for the celebration.
The people convened at about 11 o'clock—The place was beautiful—A perpetual shade was cast over
a large space of ground—The scenery of Nature was pleasant and gay, which seemed in unison with the sprightly gaiety of the audience—The celebration opened with several addresses upon the nature and importance of the event which convened them together, agreeable to the request of the society—during which time nothing could exceed the polite attention, and the profound silence of so great a concourse of people—The toasts were then introduced, and the company proceeded in procession about 300 yards, to a stage provided for that purpose, convenient to a large spring—Col. Sanders and Capt. Smith presided over the order of the day, and proceeded in front, accompanied with music—The toasts were succeeded with Hail Columbia &c.
The Ladies then were conducted to the table where a magnificent feast was set before them.
A Festival Cheese, nine feet in circumference, and eight inches thick, weighing upwards of 200lb. set in the middle of the table for which the Society was indebted to the liberality of their neighbours—
Nothing could exceed the harmonious festivity, and universal rejoicing which pervaded the scene—good humour seemed to beam from every countenance—and the company quitted the place about 5 o'clock.
The following are the toasts, which were accompanied with a discharge from the volunteer rifle company, under Capt. William Johnston, and the loudest acclamations of approbation.
1. The day we celebrate. The eventful crisis when the Goddesses of American Liberty broke the fetters of despotism and proclaimed Independence to the United States.
2. The immortal spirits of those illustrious Patriots, who fell by the iron arm of oppression in defence of American Liberty and true Glory—May celestial joys eternal ebb and flow in their united bosoms.
3. The United States of America, the birth-place of pure political independence, a clime invigorating to patriots, but destructive to the hydra of despotism—May the distressed of every region seek and find peace in our happy land.
4. The acquisition of Louisiana—may her citizens soon enjoy the right of self government, break the trammels of Aristocracy, and may the bulwork erected by an ignorant monarchy, fall into ruins like the walls of Jericho at the sound of the political trumpet.
5. The savage and hostile Tripolitans, who infest the Mediterranean commerce and load with the chains of captivity and slavery the free citizens of America.—May the appearance of our Navy, produce in them a national Hydrophobia, which shall destroy their piratical existence.
6. New-England politics—may republicanism level the whole mass and destroy the remains of toryism, and the essence of modern federalism.
7. The Judiciary—may the sacred fountain of Justice, send forth its streams, to the extreme parts of America unpoluted by drunkenness, insanity, corruption, or insatiate Judicial vengeance.
8. Thomas Jefferson and the virtuous republicans, who have cherished and now put into execution the divine principle of '76—may the wisdom of their measures like the light of heaven, shed their genial and bright influence over the universe.
9. James Monroe and Robert Livingston, who have reflected lustre upon the diplomatic department of state, the boast of their patriot countrymen, the envy of aristocrats—calumnylet silence dwell upon your lips.
10. The Indian tribes of America, may civilization & rational liberty enlighten their minds and their industry turn the wilds of Louisiana into cultivated plains.
11. Manufactures & commerce—may they be so regulated as to be a productive source of wealth and
happiness to the American people.
12. Capt. Lewis and Clark—may their perilous undertaking be crowned with success, and adorn the historic page with a description of the unknown regions of Louisiana.
13. The Louisiana volunteers—may their calm intrepidity and heroic courage convince tyrants that a republican government has a vital spirit sufficient to support itself.
14. May our natural, social, civil, and political rights, stand forever firm upon the rock of republicanism.
15. Philosophy, the Arts and Sciences—may they fill the world with the light of reason and information.
16. May Thrones and Palaces from this time only exist in air, and the crowns of tyrants be but bubbles.
17. The American Fair—may their intellectual refinement exceed their personal charms.
VOLUNTEERS.
By Maj. Richard Gaines—The 4th of July 76, the birth-day of liberty—may it be impressed upon the minds of the rising generation.
By Joel Scott—Samuel Adams, Hancock & Lee—the proscribed patriots upon whom the English nation wished to distil their whole military vengeance.
By David Herndon—James Gar-rard esq.—may his past services be gratefully remembered by all true republicans for centuries to come—may we not have reason to lament his disqualification at our next general election—may his private life prove the service of his country, be stamped with as few errors for eight years to come.
The Western World—may the sunshine of republicanism rest on our political watch-tower, and hail Columbia, "all is well."
An Oration delivered by Richard M. Johnson Esq. on the above occasion, shall appear in our next.
FRANKFORT, (Ken.) June 30.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Hardin court-house (Ken.)—June 21.
"We had one of the severest hail storms in this county on Sunday the 17th inst. that has ever been in Kentucky since my recollection; it commenced about eighteen miles below this place westwardly and passed in a narrow string eastwardly—The hail was very large, exceeding the size of a large walnut, and fell in many places in large bodies: it measured the day after the storm, in places where it had drifted, fifteen inches, but was generally from three to four inches in depth. This storm, as you may expect did much mischief, destroying almost every thing that was growing, such as corn, wheat, oats, &c. beating them to the ground; it also destroyed a number of fowls, birds, and small animals, which were found dead the day after the storm subsided—How far the storm has penetrated eastwardly I have not yet been able to learn."
Communication.—The notorious RICHARD TOMLINSON, confined in the jail and penitentiary house at Frankfort, for having committed a rape on his own brother's daughter, did with the assistance of Alexr. White, a convict sent from Mason county for horse stealing, endeavor to break out from their confinement between the hours of five and six o'clock on Sunday the 24th of June, but by the previous arrangement of the keeper and refolete conduct of the watchman (then on duty) were fortunately prevented. The citizens of Frankfort and its vicinity being assembled at meeting when the alarm was given, discovered a very prompt and lively disposition to give the keeper and watchman every aid in their power.
NEW-YORK, June 21.
Verbal accounts from Liverpool, state that on the 18th of April, a report prevailed that the French were preparing to go against Denmark, and that the Danes had raised an army of one hundred thousand men to oppose them.
Extract of a letter from Natchez, dated May 19.
"A very heavy rain has lately swept away all the bridges in the country—Great damage has been done to the crops. Property, including mills, cotton gins, slaves, cattle, horses, &c. has been destroyed to the amount of one hundred thousand dollars."
A letter from a person in St. Jago de Cuba, dated May 6, to a friend in this city, states, that a revolt had taken place among the blacks, who had risen and massacred several of the Spanish inhabitants. In addition to these alarming symptoms, armed brigand boats from
Hispaniola were daily making incursions on the shore, plundering and destroying the inhabitants. Apprehensions were so serious of approaching distress and bloodshed, that the white residents were preparing with all possible expedition to leave the place, the only probable means of saving their lives.
LONDON, April 17.
From the Hamburg Correspondent of the 10th and 11th of April.
PARIS, March 20. The Senate, on the 28th, voted an Address to the First Consul, to entreat him, as it was reported, to take such measures with respect to the future immutability of the Government, as may promote the general welfare. The First Consul came to Paris to receive this Address, which the Senate carried up in a body. We are assured that the First Consul will, in consequence of the wish expressed by the Senate, assume a higher dignity, which will be made hereditary. The Senate has likewise, it is said, requested that a new National Court of Justice be formed for the trial of offences against the safety of the nation and its head. It will, however, only have jurisdiction in case of future crimes, and not with respect to the late conspiracy.
Such natives of France, in foreign countries, who wish to return, must now, it is said, be provided with a pass from the grand judge.
Several ships of the line are to be built at Antwerp this year.
April 2.—Vice admiral Truguet, who was at Paris on furlough, has received order to repair immediately to Brest to take the command of the fleet there—All the accounts from the coasts give reason to believe that the expedition will fail in a very short time.
Moreau has at last confessed that he conversed with Georges three times. The latter appears to be very much incensed against Moreau.
It is understood that a negotiation is carrying on between our court and the Swiss government, relative to a new project for settling boundaries, and an exchange of territory. According to this project, the Rhine will form a national boundary; the town of Constance will be allotted to Switzerland, and Shaffhausen to Austria.
April 18.
By the Hamburg mail which arrived yesterday we learn, that a great part of Switzerland is in insurrection against the constituted authorities imposed upon that once happy country, by the common scourge of Europe. The absence of the French troops was made the signal of revolt. In the cantons of Berne, Soleure, Argen, Fryeburg, &c. the temerity of the insurgents has reached the highest pitch. They everywhere prevent the people from taking the oath of allegiance to the new constitution. In the night of the 24th ult. some of the disaffected set fire to the castle of Wadenshwheel, on the lake of Zurich, and the last letters state, that the landemann, unable to resist the torrent, solicited the return of the French army. So much for the boast of the consular official scribe, of the happy and independent state of regenerated Helvetia!
April 20.
We this morning were favored with a note from a gentleman who has just escaped from France, having left Dieppe on board an American vessel homeward bound Friday last, landed on the coast of Dorset from an open boat on Monday, and arrived in town yesterday. He states that the army encamped along the coast of Picardy have begun to manifest great discontent at the delay which has taken place respecting the invasion of this country, which they have been assured these several times in the course of six months would certainly be put in execution at a given period. The middle of November was the first time mentioned, the last week of January the second, and the third the middle of March—since which the activity of the preparations has considerably relaxed, except what regards the exchange of troops, above twenty battalions of which our informant assures us, were ordered into the interior during the period of his stay on the coast, which was above a fortnight.

NOTICE
ALL persons indebted to the estate of John Smith, late of Muhlenberg county, deceased, are requested to make immediate payment to the Executors; and all those who have any demands against said estate, are desired to bring them forward, properly authenticated, that provision may be made for settling them.

A CAUTION.
THE public are hereby cautioned against purchasing, or taking an assignment on a bond executed by me on the 19th day of April 1798, to Samuel Kincart, then of Bourbon county, for the payment of £213, and such further sum as should amount to 20s. per acre, for all the lands he held in the county of Fleming, that might interfere with the claims of John Fowler, on which I resided; as I have paid nearly the whole amount thereof, and am determined not to pay the balance, until said Kincart fulfills his contract with me, respecting the title of the lands for the price of which the bond aforesaid was given.
They are cautioned also against purchasing or receiving a conveyance for such of his tract of 712 acres, lying in Fleming county, as interferes with John Fowler's tract of 1000 acres; as I hold his bond for the conveyance thereof, have paid him nearly all the consideration, (no part thereof, being yet due) and from his apparent inability to return, am determined to enforce a specific performance.

Lexington, Jan. 3, 1804. tf.
WHEREAS a number of the officers of the late Revolutionary Army, were unfortunate enough to locate their claims in a tract of country, since found to be comprehended within the Indian claims. This is therefore to give notice, that application is intended to be made, in the name of all those who wish redress, by petition to Congress; and little doubt is entertained, from the hardship of the case, but other land will be substituted. The agent who undertakes the management of the business, asks, as compensation, one-third only, of what land is actually located and ultimately saved, he being at all expense to patenting the land. All who wish, upon these terms, their claims to be attended to, are requested to write forthwith, to Thomas Bodley, of Lexington, who will communicate with such agent.
Mary Kerr, wife of William Kerr, has been informed, that three of her children (daughters) have descended the Ohio in search of her, and that they landed at Limestone about 6 weeks ago. Their names are Betty Boils, widow of Gilbert, and Nancy Forrest; they are informed, that I live in Cincinnati, in the state of Ohio. All persons who should see this advertisement, will confer a great favour on an anxious mother, by endeavouring to find out the retreat of her daughters, and give them information of her place of residence.
