Having in the preceding number plainly pointed out several egregious blunders in "The New American Grammar," a work pregnant with false principles and improprieties, I again resume the subject and proceed, with all possible brevity, to make a few additional remarks.
Remark i. p. 7. Note. "A diphthong is two simple vocal sounds &c. joined in such a manner that each looses a portion of its natural length &c." Quer. By what legendoman does Mr. L. let loose or unbind these vocal sounds? Or, are they so fastened together that they cannot perform their function without being set at liberty? How does he sever this Gordian knot?
Rem. ii. p. 17. and 18. "If the singular end in y or ey preceded by a consonant, the plural ends in ies ." The rule is here given without any exception. Quer. How would Mr. L. spell the word kidney in the plural?
Rem. iii. p. 33. "Q. How may a verb be distinguished from any other part of speech? A. Whatever word, with a substantive makes full sense, is a verb." He had before told us (p. 32) that an adjective is known by making "sense with the word thing ;" and now he tells us that a verb is to be distinguished by making "sense with a substantive ;" now what is the word thing but a substantive ? What can we reasonably infer from this, but that the Rev. Grammarian considers the adjective and the verb as one and the same thing?
But in order that the scholar might have no reason to complain of the want of rules; he gives him two more methods by which the verb may be distinguished, viz. "Whatever word can take any of the personal pronouns, or the phrase it shall before it, and make sense, is a verb otherwise not." An example or two will show how far these directions will assist the young tyro in finding his verbs—
Example 1. "Him onward thro' the forest come, Adam discern'd." MILTON. Here the adverb onward takes the personal pronoun him before it, and makes sense, for every word in the Dictionary must have some meaning; whereas according to the rule onward ought to be a verb : the same absurdity will follow even if we apply the phrase it shall before the verb discern'd in the above cited sentence, thus—Adam it shall discern'd , is absolute nonsense.
Ex. 2. "Waller was smooth, but Dryden taught to join The varying verse &c." Pope. Now let us put the phrase it shall before the two verbs was and taught and we shall have nonsense again it shall was, it shall taught &c.
Ex. 3. "'Twas when the seas were roaring &c." it shall were roaring &c.—Excellent rule! How agreeable and useful to the teacher and man of science!—Such rules are alike useless to the learned and unlearned; for the former can do without them, and they are of no service to the latter.
Rem. iv. p. 61 Rule 3. "Different nouns connected by a disjunctive conjunction require a singular verb." Our profound Grammarian has in this rule infinitely surpassed all his predecessors, who had restricted it to nouns of the singular number only; but it belonged to the comprehensive mind of this great master of language to discover, that the rule might be extended to all nouns in general whether singular or plural. The beauty and elegance of this improvement will appear from the following examples:
When the fields or meadows is green. Where sighs, groans, cries or lamentations is heard no more. The mental perfections or the personal graces is not wanting. In all these examples "different nouns are connected by a disjunctive conjunction," agreeably to the rule.
Rem. v. p. 1b. Note. Sometimes the verb is used in the singular number after several subjects or nominatives, connected with a copulative conjunction, being supposed to have a separate reference to each of them. This is more especially the case when the subjects are nearly allied to each other in signification; as trade and commerce is productive of many advantages. Harmony and love is to be preferred before discord and hatred." This note is literally transferred from Harrison ; and our author has, with singular taste and judgment, attempted to rescue from oblivion a special rule which no correct writer of the present age would venture to adopt. The impropriety of using verbs in the
singular number after plural nouns connected by a copulative is ably demonstrated by a late elegant writer in the following words: "When the nouns are nearly related, or scarcely distinguishable in sense, and sometimes when they are very different, some authors have thought it allowable to put the verbs, nouns, and pronouns in the singular number; as "Ignorance and negligence has produced the effect;" "Tranquility and peace dwells there;" "The difficulty and slaughter was very great." But it is contrary to the first principles of grammar, to consider two distinct ideas as one, however nice may be their shades of difference; and if there be no difference, one of them must be superfluous, and ought to be rejected.
"In support of the above construction, it is said, that the verb may be understood as applied to each of the preceding terms; as in the following example. "Harmony and love is to be preferred before discord and hatred." But besides the confusion, and the latitude of application, which such a construction would introduce, it appears to be more proper and analogical, in cases where the verb is intended to be applied to any one of the terms, to make use of the disjunctive conjunction, which grammatically refers the verb to one or other of the preceding terms in a separate view. To preserve the disjunctive uses of the copulative and disjunctive conjunctions, would render the rules precise, consistent, and intelligible. Dr. Blair very justly observes, that "two or more substantives, joined by a copulative, must always require the verbs or pronouns to which they refer, to be placed in the plural number." To this may be added the testimony of Buchanan, who observes, that "when several nouns are enumerated and connected (i. e. by a copulative) they must always have a plural verb, and not a verb singular to be applied to each of them, which would be altogether inelegant and ungrammatical."
Rem. vi. p. 64. Rule 16. "If a nominative word, either expressed or understood, come between the relative and the verb, the relative who , with its compounds, must be put in the objective case."
A few examples will show the absurdity of this rule. Ex. 1. A poor prince, whose whole infantry does not exceed a single man &c." sterne. In this example the nominative word ( infantry ) comes between the relative and the verb, and yet the relative is not in the objective, but the possessive case: but Mr. L. says, it must be in the objective; in which case, the above sentence will run thus—"A poor prince, whom whole infantry &c."
Ex. 2. "To Him, whose sun exalts, whose breath perfumes you, and whose pencil paints." THOMPSON. According to Mr. L.'s rule, it should be " whom sun exalts, whom breath perfumes &c."
Ex. 3. "Whose bolder note is heard far, ibid. Mr. L. would say " Whom bolder note" &c. Ex. 4. Whose book is it? "Whose bounty sustains us." "He is happy, whose mind is contented." In Mr. L.'s lingo, it is " Whom book is it? " Whom bounty &c. " Whom mind &c."
Ex. 5. "Who I am." " Whosoever he be. " Here the relative is in the nominative; but Mr. L. must have the objective " Whom I am. " Whomsoever he be. " And in a word, even the wife Solomon has used the possessive case of the personal relative instead of Mr. L.'s objective, in the following words prov. xxvi. 26. "Whose hatred is covered by deceit &c." Mr. L.'s rule requires " whom hatred &c. " Ye Citizens of Kentucky! wo unto you if ye neglect the precepts of your SAGE! "The queen of the south shall rise up in judgment against you; for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of SOLOMON and behold a GREATER than SOLOMON is here!"
Rem. vii. p. 65. Rule 20. "A verb following another verb is put in the infinitive mode."—Let us try whether this rule (which is given without a single exception, will hold in the following instances.
Ex. 1. "Genius animates, collects and combines." In this example there are three, verbs one after another, and yet none of them is in the infinitive mode. Ex. 2. "Blot out, correct, infer, refine, enlarge, diminish, interline."
SWIFT. Here no less than six verbs follow one another in train, and all in the imperative mode. Admirable rule! How "useful to the teacher," and how "agreeable to the man of science!"
This is the "New American Grammar," made of old remnants, but unskillfully connected. The materials were in general, good, had the artist known how to put them together.
But I have neither time nor patience to follow the author through the labyrinth of incoherent materials which he has so laboriously con-
structed. From the sample which I have already given of the work, I presume no judicious parent would with his son to load his memory with such trash—For, as the sage of Monticello has justly observed, "Ignorance is preferable to error; and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing, than he who believes what is wrong."
"Some books," says Sir Francis Bacon, "are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested." Now, courteous reader, I think I have sufficiently proved, that this little book, called "The American Grammar," is to be ranked in the number of those that are only to be tasted, for if swallowed, it might peradventure, like the little book mentioned in the Apocalypse, occasion troublesome commotions in the inward parts.
If the rev. author of the American Grammar has the candor to acknowledge the justice of these strictures, he will reply in the language of the immortal Buffon "J'aime autant une personne qui me releve d'une erreur, qu'une autre qui m'apprend une verite, parce qu'en effet une erreur corrigee est une verite." But if, on the contrary, the task should be considered as invidious, and I should be so unfortunate as to become the object of his displeasure, should he "wax wroth and his anger be kindled against me," I have only to say in the words of the philosopher, " Amicus Plato, sed magis amica Veritas.

For the Kentucky Gazette. Mr. F. L. Turner.
SIR, THE openness with which you have appeared in the defence of John Breckinridge, against the charges exhibited by Dan. Bradford, warrants me in addressing to you a few observations, not only with a view of showing the inconclusiveness of your attempt to relieve Mr. Breckinridge from the imputation of guilt, but also to point out from your own statements, aided by some circumstances which have already transpired, the suspicions which necessarily attach themselves to you, as an abettor of the principles in the "True Republican." You have informed us, that you were present when Mr. Breckinridge received Mr. Magruder's letter, containing a development of the principles and tendency of the True Republican; you have further informed us, that you were apprised of its existence before that period, and have proven by certificates, that piece to have been of considerable notoriety amongst Mr. Breckinridge's most intimate friends. Some time before its publication, and yet you say, that not a single sentence escaped Mr. B. to you on the subject nor from you to him; notwithstanding the frequent, free, and unrestrained conversations, which you and Mr. Breckinridge were in the habit of having, upon the present political affairs. I ask you, Sir, how this silence is to be explained? Was it because Mr. B. felt the same motives of delicacy which prevented him obeying the nomination of the republican members of Congress, to carry into effect their vote in favour of Mr. Clinton? Was it the same delicacy that prevented him from attending the second caucus, after he had been left by a large majority, in the votes for the person who should be run as vice president, at the ensuing election? But Sir, why were you equally silent? Were you afraid of wounding the delicacy of Mr. B.'s feelings, by declaring to him what had been done, and its effects upon the publick mind? If you were really a friend to the election of Mr. Clinton, and knew Mr. Breckinridge to be so too, there would have been none of that nice sensibility between you both, to be excited by introducing the True Republican as a topic of conversation, and deprecating its sentiments in your free and unrestrained conversations. When we recollect the conduct you advised Stevenson to pursue with Daniel Bradford, for exposing him as the profligate author of the True Republican, and your volunteer toast on the 12th of May (viz.) "John Breckinridge, our Senator in Congress—virtue—patriotism," and the one which you refused to repeat on the 4th of July, (viz.) "George Clinton, the tried patriot of '76, and our next vice president—may he be ever preferred to mushrooms of the day," we are much surprised in entering into your feelings on the disposition of the people respecting the True Republican, and your fear of interrupting Mr. B.'s repose, by mentioning it. Mr. H. Harrison informs us of a pamphlet which Capt. Stevenson wished him to read, in confirmation of Mr. B.'s superiority to Clinton as vice president. That pamphlet was written in vindication of A. Burr, and for the destruction of Clinton and others. It is strongly suspected that pamphlet reached Capt. Stevenson by the friendly assistance of Mr. B. This inference is
drawn from the peculiar fineness of it to George and others, such would have been his plan, &c. For it not only has in quantity, but talents in an eminent degree exercised, in destroying the character of Clinton; which being done, Mr. B. expected of course to be considered the next man upon the list for vice president. What you expected to gain by your attempt to serve Mr. B. I cannot say, nor am I prepared to calculate the amount of credit Mr. B. has placed to your account, for your good intention towards him. In your fervent zeal to serve him, you lost that circumspection which was absolutely necessary to keep out of view the evidences which would go to convict him, you have accordingly in your defence, exhibited circumstances which bear hard upon him, and tend much to aggravate the difficulties that before surrounded him; but this is not all; you have not only considerably encreased Mr. Breckinridge's embarrassment, but you have drawn down the suspicions of the people upon yourself, as being an advocate of the True Republican under his banner.
You have written very feelingly on character, but appear to forget that it is of as much importance to Mr. Bradford as to Mr. Breckinridge; and what is strongly evidential of a blind zeal (to say the least of it) to defend Mr. B. you deduce his innocence from what seems to be the better part of his previous conduct. That kind of reasoning is by no means conclusive, because it would make every man virtuous who had ever done a good act. It is of importance for you to demolish those facts, upon which the charges against Mr. Breckinridge are bottomed, if you wish to succeed in exculpating him, but first of all, to emancipate yourself from the charge of being an abettor of the cause of the True Republican, which will require something not bordering on omnipresence, but omnipotence.
CURTIUS. * In acknowledging the receipt of Curtius last week, he was erroneously called "Decius."
For the Kentucky Gazette. To the Editor of the Independent Gazetteer.
SIR, I OBSERVED in your last paper, a few paragraphs under the signature of "C." filed with such scurrilous and indecent language, that, upon the, that upon the whole, I regarded it as one of the best specimens of the famed Billingsgate dialect, that has ever been exhibited in our country. Such a promiscuous assemblage of approposito appellations, such a misapplication of terms, and abuse of words, can seldom be met with on this side the Atlantic. The author must certainly have received them, by a late importation, from some of the great towns in Britain. All I could collect from this singular performance, was, this Mr. "C." who ever he is, was highly incensed against a certain Aristarchus, who had pointed out some absurdities in a late publication, which he calls "The American Grammar." Surely this Mr. "C." must be a very choleric, not to say, uncivilized being, to emit such a torrent of abuse against the author of a few critical remarks, the justice of which has never yet been controverted.—Mr. Editor, you have no doubt often heard of Grub-street and garret-writers;—but the ideas and expressions of Mr. "C." are so low, and gravitate so much towards the buttes , that it is impossible they could have proceeded from so elevated a situation as a garret ; they must undoubtedly have ascended from some vault or cellar underground, the coldness and humidity of which chilled his imagination, and the mephitic gas so enveloped his brain, diminished its energy, and stupified his senses, that all his attempts at wit proved abortive, and all his fond conceits were stifled in embryo.
But, Mr. Editor, I would recommend it to you seriously to consider, whether the insertion of such scandalous libels is likely to add anything to the reputation of your paper? Be that as it may, certain it is, that neither Aristarchus, nor any other man of common decency who forms a just estimate of his own dignity, could so far degrade himself as to deign a reply to such contemptible ribaldry.
A Friend to Justice. Q. Does Mr. "C." really live in a cellar? † The Editor of the Independent Gazetteer is requested to insert the above in his next paper.
LETTERS Between Madame Bonaparte and Madame Moreau.
Les Nouvelles a la Main, Ventose an XII. No. III. or Paris, March 20, 1804, contains what follows: "In a preceding number we published a letter from Gen. Moreau to the First Consul. We are now informed from good authority, that it was authentic, with the exception that Gen. Moreau instead of acknowledging himself guilty of the pretended conspiracy, says, that had he conspired with Pichegru,
the letters we now lay before the public are known to all Paris, and have been admired even by some female citizens, who have not been inactive in our revolution. The one is written by a lady near fifty, sharing a throne; the other by a young beauty of twenty two, who has been retorted to share a dungeon with her husband. We guarantee their authenticity. They want no comment; they speak for themselves."
To Madame Moreau. Paris, 22d Ventose, year 12, March 18, 1804.
MADAME, THOUGH the crimes of your husband are great, the clemency of the First Consul is greater; and my friendship for you, and my compassion for a person so dear to you, turpals both... Apprehend, therefore, nothing for Gen. Moreau's life. By the very constitution which he intended to overturn, the chief magistrate possesses the power to pardon; and I promise you that it shall be employed in this affair. Do not, however, by any ill-advised indiscretions of yourself and of your friends aggravate the enormity of your husband's guilt. They alone can shut the door of mercy forever, and bring general Moreau to the scaffold.
I salute you cordially. JOSEPHINE BONAPARTE. Madame Moreau to Madame Bonaparte.
Gresbois, March 19, 1804.
MADAME, I CANNOT be called indiscreet in saying, that your assertion, that declares my husband guilty, is rash, ungenerous and cruel. I do not wish to enter into a discussion unbecoming myself and my husband. Who is the criminal? He who, disinterested and without stain, has served his country; or he who served France, only to become a tyrant over Frenchmen. He whose victories pacified Europe; or the foreigner, who made those victories subservient to organize his oppressions over France and all nations. He who in the most corrupted country dared to be honest, and had the courageous modesty to confound himself in the crowd, after he had resigned the supreme command; or he who owes every advancement towards authority, to some new crime, and has, therefore, no other choice left but between power and death... a throne or a scaffold. But let General Moreau appear before impartial judges, and not before pensioned assassins! Let him be tried by men whose lives are as pure as his own, and not by persons, accomplices in the atrocities of General Bonaparte, and whose pallid crimes answer for their present obedience; and I promise you, that justice, in pronouncing his honorable acquittal, will dispatch an order for arrest (un mandat d'arret) of the really culpable of high treason against France... against the world.
Caste, Maitam, to mock humanity, and to insult my feelings, by talking of your husband's clemency and mercy! Gracious God! how canst thou suffer, without inflicting chastisement, the prophanation of these words? The clemency, the mercy of that cruel man, who even in his youth, had the ferocity to mandate the streets and squares of Toulon and Paris, with the blood of innocent men, women and children! who ordered those soldiers, who, in Italy, with their blood, earned his laurels, to be drowned or buried alive! who, in Syria, in the same city poisoned his wounded companions in arms, and butchered his wounded prisoners! who hired an assassin to stab one rival, Gen. Kleber, in Egypt; and who invents plots, and bribes tribunals to dishonor or murder in France, another rival general, whom he could and no banditti audacious enough to pierce!!
Gen. Bonaparte's reign of crime and terror or may be prosperous, but it cannot be long. Success attended Robespierre, but in a short time the guillotine annulled his barbarity! Providence is always just; the same in 1804 as in 1794. My husband and myself are as resigned to the will of the Almighty, as we are firm in a belief of an hereafter... terrible for assassins, poisoners, atheists, and tyrants, but consoling to innocence upon earth. I salute you. JULIA MOREAU.

Apon 5 years old, about 14 and a half hands high, handsome head and neck, has a scar low down on it (think) the off side, near the girth, occasioned by a snag when a colt, a little white on one of his hind feet. It is thought he has been stolen by a party who have taken several to the neighbourhood of Pitt Leffance, in the state of Ohio.

Lexington, Sept. 5, 1804.

True to his charge— He comes, the Herald of a noisy world, News from all nations lumping at his heels.  LEXINGTON, SEPTEMBER 11.
On Saturday night, about half after eleven o'clock, a fire, which threatened greater destruction than any which has yet broke out in this town, was discovered, in the shop of Messrs. Fithel and Gallatin, Copper-smiths and Tinners, on Main street, nearly opposite this office. The progress which the fire had made before an engine could be brought to bear upon it, made the appearance truly alarming—the adjacent houses of Mr. Boggs, Mr. Bain, Dr. Schaag, Mr. White and Dr. Fithel, together with Capt. Marshall's, Mr. Woodruff's, Mr. Currier's, Mr. Yeiser's, the offices of the Independent Gazetteer and Kentucky Gazette, & in fact, the whole square, were considered in the most imminent danger. What rendered the prospect of extinguishing the flames very doubtful, was, the engine belonging to the Lexington Fire Company, being so much out of repair, as not to throw a drop of water. However from the unparallelled exertions of the citizens, the fire was completely got under before one o'clock, without any other material damage being done, than the back shops of Messrs. Fithel and Gallatin being consumed, with the loss of their tools, and copper ware and materials, amounting to about 500 dollars.
We are sorry that our situation urges the necessity of noticing the condition in which our fire utensils are—The engine belonging to the (nominal) Lexington Fire Company, has not been in order for nearly twelve months; nor has the company had a meeting, for perhaps twice that length of time—the probability therefore is, that the other implements, are not in a much better state than the engine. A want of buckets and fire hooks, was very apparent at the above fire. The Union Fire Company, (the only one which holds regular meetings) consists of only 53 members, each of whom has 2 buckets, making 106 belonging to the members of that company. It is therefore believed, that in the town of Lexington, not more than 150 fire buckets could be raised fit for use.
In the Schooner John, arrived at New York from St. Thomas, Same passenger, Madame Maria-Louis Toussaint, widow of the late General Toussaint Louverture.
By the accounts from Europe it appears, that the long talked of invasion was on the eve of being attempted. The most convincing circumstance that some naval enterprise is about to be commenced, is, that the crews of all the French privateers are impressed immediately on their return to port, and sent to man their national marine.
LONDON, July 4. The following is given in a Morning paper as an extract of a private letter from Paris, dated June 18:— "Bonaparte intends next week to set out for the coast; and, as he is to return before the 14th of July, the common belief here is, that should wind and circumstances permit, something will be undertaken before that period."
"The day before yesterday, extra-couriers left this city for Holland, Boulogne and Brest, with orders for our naval commanders to seize the first opportunity of putting to sea, and coute qui coute , land in England, as many troops as possible, so that at the coronation ceremony, an invasion & victory may be announced."
"Our Brest fleet is nearly as numerous, and the Texel fleet not much inferior, to the English blockading fleet. But both in our fleets and flotillas, are some chosen ships, containing picked and desperate crews, called enfants perdus , who, as an advance guard, are to try to create confusion among their enemies, by boarding, &c. and, by it, permit the remainder of their fleets and transports to escape, and to land their troops in England. Every man of these crews, who survives, is to be created a member of the legion of honor, and receive a pension."
"On board these ships are, besides, combustible matters of a new composition which are said to be inextinguishable . According to what I have heard in conversations with the French naval and military officers, the Brest fleet is intended to invade the West; the Texel fleet the East; and the Boulogne flotilla the South of England. As to Ireland, they say it would fall by itself, if they were victorious in Great-Britain."
"These particulars are not fe-
crets here, but talked of in our first and best informed societies."
It is said, that the place of High Admiral of France will be reserved for Jerome Bonaparte, whose marriage is to be cancelled, as it had not obtained the Emperor's consent, and his rights restored to him.
The Dutch Papers furnish a most singular piece of intelligence, to which the Public if not familiarized with the changes which the Magic Lantern of the French Revolution has already familiarized their view, would scarcely lend a momentary credit. A new kingdom, they state, is to spring up in Italy. Lucien Bonaparte is to be sovereign of that part of Italy not comprehended under Naples, Etruria, and Sardinia; for the introduction of the name it is somewhat difficult to account. He is also to be Grand Duke of Parma, and to hold his residence at Rome. The Papal territory is to be converted into a temporal state, and the Pontiff to spend the rest of his days at his devotions!—This intelligence is said to be confirmed by letters from Rome, of the 3d inst.
DOVER, June 25. By a person lately returned from Flushing, we learn that a very great slaughter took place on board the enemies flotilla that lately engaged Sir Sidney: one of the largest prams had above 100 killed, and a very considerable number wounded.
NEW-YORK, August 25. Capt. Green, who left Cadiz on the fourteenth of July, was informed by the Vice-Consul, that it was probable a war would take place between Spain and the United States! The report was current in Cadiz, and the cause was supposed to be some dispute about Louisiana. It was so much credited by some of the Americans, that they were hurrying to get away as soon as possible.
A gentleman who came passenger in the Sch. Nostra Senora del Carmen, from Porto Rico, informs that a vessel had arrived there in 28 days from Corrunna, with advices of the Prince of peace (the Spanish minister) having fled to England, whither he had previously deposited considerable sums of money; and that his precipitate flight was occasioned by Bonaparte's making a formal demand of the king of Spain, that this minister should be given up to justice as a principal actor in the late conspiracy against the internal and external safety of the French Republic.
Yesterday arrived here the Schooner Emeline, Captain Moran. She sailed from Bordeaux the 13th July, and brings papers to the 9th: from which we have made translations for this day's Gazette. The preparations for invasion continued with increased vigor. Bonaparte, it was said, was becoming more and more unpopular in France, in consequence of his elevation to the Imperial dignity.
It was reported at Bordeaux, when Capt. Moran, of the Sch. Emeline failed, that Gen. Moreau had passed thro' that place on his way to Spain, to embark for the United States.
In corroboration of this information, the following article appeared in a late London paper.
MOREAU.—It has been announced in the Paris Monitor, (the government paper,) that this General has been banished to America—to what part is not suggested. Other papers mention that he left his prison on the 21st June, and proceeded for Perpignan, followed by his consort: and that he is to embark from Spain for America. The General, it is said, had no intimation of this arrangement, and had just furnished his apartments in the Temple. When he was on trial he was treated with much respect. After he delivered his speech before the Court he was loudly applauded by the spectators—and the guards presented arms when he passed. Several of the conspirators have been pardoned on the supplications of female relations, who prostrated themselves at the feet of the Empress, and were seconded in their prayer by the Empress Josephine and her daughter.
A letter from an Officer on board his Majesty's Sloop Rattle, dated the 25th inst. off Ostend, says, "To-day, after dinner, we saw close in shore, 25 sail of the enemy's squadron making their way from Ostend. We engaged them for nearly three hours, and drove them under the forts. A boy seeing a shell fall on our main deck from the batteries, instantly put his hat on it while the fuse was burning furiously, took up the hat and shell together and threw them overboard before it had time to burst, by which expedient he must have been the means of preserving many valuable lives, and perhaps, the ship; for falling as it did on the main deck, it might, according to the common effect of shells have descended to the magazine, which was directly under it."
NATCHEZ, August 14.
By a gentleman arrived here yesterday from the neighborhood of Bayou Sarah, we have been favored with the following information:— "That Mr. Nathan Kemper, with a party of about thirty men, with colors flying and horns sounding, marched from the neighborhood of the line of demarcation between this territory and West Florida, on the 7th inst. against the fort of Baton Rouge. On their way they made prisoners of John O'Connor esq. (an alcalde) and Capt. Pintedo and Terry."
They arrived on the following morning, about day light, near the fort. The Spanish commandant (apprized of their intentions) had posted a piquet of eighteen or twenty men, who hailed the party as they approached—they immediately answered by a volley from their rifles, which dispersed the Spaniards—two of whom were obliged to fall.
Kemper returned on the following day, with his party, to the Bayou Sarah; he has established his quarters near the house of a Mr. Cobb. The following is an exact copy of a paper which is posted up at the quarters of Kemper, and at several other places through the country.
FOR A PEOPLE TO BE FREE it is sufficient that they will it. we, the undersigned. Citizens of West Florida, SEND THESE PRESENTS, GREETING:
WHEREAS the despotism under which we have long groaned has grown into an insupportable burthen, and as it is long since admitted men are born with equal rights, we, the undersigned inhabitants of that part of the dominion called West Florida, have resolved to throw off the galling yoke of tyranny and become FREE MEN, by declaring ourselves a FREE and INDEPENDENT PEOPLE: and by supporting our lives and property, that declaration, and we do by these presents, invite our fellow sufferers throughout the province aforesaid, to repair to the standard and to aid in the effecting our common emancipation; we pledge ourselves solemnly to each other, and to our fellow men interested in the event, to avoid as far as practicable the effusion of blood (save that of our common enemy) and in all cases shall private property be held sacred. So soon as our emancipation is effected, we will offer our services to some government, accustomed to freedom.
Those who set up in opposition to our operations for the purposes aforesaid, will be received as our common enemy, the enemy of mankind and of liberty, and will be treated accordingly. Given under our hands on the fourth day of the line of demarcation in the province aforesaid, the first day of Floridian freedom. August 7, 1804
Our informant further adds, that Messrs. O'Connor, Pintedo & Terry, were liberated on the return of the party who exact their parole of honor to take no active part against them during the continuance of the contest.
VINCENNES, (I. T.) August 27. A few days since the Delaware tribe of Indians relinquished to the United States all their claim to the extensive tract of country which lies between the Ohio, Wabash, and the road leading from Port Vincennes, to the great Falls of Ohio.

To soar aloft on Fancy's wing."  TO ***.  O thou, whose eyes enslave my heart, Whole charms my every sense controul, Whole lips such thrilling joys impart, And fire with love, my ardent soul; O smiling heir, and deign approve, The Muse that sings of MUTUAL LOVE.
Long time my heart in freedom royd, From fair to fair the wanton stray'd; Each charm, each grace, I saw unmov'd, Beauty in vain her arts display'd; Though thro' I rambled thro' the grove, Unknown the sweets of MUTUAL LOVE.
But when thy beauties caught my eyes, The wand'rer ceas'd to roam again; Thy worth my heart soon learnt to prize, And found no more the wanton strays; With bliss—I cease to rove, But taste the sweets of MUTUAL LOVE.
Sweet is the opening breath of day, Sweet is the dew-drop on the rose; Sweet are the longers on the spray, And sweet the walk, ere evening close; Sweet are the whispers of the grove, But oh! how sweet with MUTUAL LOVE!  T. O. M.

[The History of Ireland is a chequered narration of oppression, revolution and ruin. The gallant sons of Erin have alternately struggled in attempts at liberty, and in the agonies of executions for treasons. Unfeeling and miserably degraded must be that mind, which can view without shuddering, valor, genius and honor, prostrate before the omnipotence of power. In this devoted country, anarchy is the rule of order—penury and persecution the reward of virtue. The laborer goes forth to his work, and returns to a starving family, the mournful messenger of accumulated want. The mechanic and the manufacturer seek in their ingenuity the comforts of competence, while extortion deprives them of the necessaries of life. Humanity weeps over the distresses of Ireland. There does despotism sway unlimited her iron sceptre. There does innocence languish in dungeons, and the gallows marks patriotism for its peculiar victim. But faint and feeble, and unmeaning, must be our description, compared with the animated and glowing picture, pourtrayed by the matchless genius of CURRAN. The pencil of CURRAN can alone do justice to the interesting scenes, on which it is employed. Well may he be impressive, for deeply has he drunk in the cup of his country's sorrows. The execution of thousands of his fellow countrymen, the sacrifice of an intended son-in-law—the amiable, the accomplished, the intelligent and patriotic EMMETT, the consequent disappointment and distraction of a daughter, would have roused his feelings from the most torpid indifference.... But the sensibility of CURRAN needed not such incitements. Liberty had chosen him for his own, and in the destruction of this idol of his hopes, every sentiment of his soul seems agitated.
In presenting to our readers the subsequent display of splendid, independent and dignified eloquence, from this unrivalled orator, we forbear to comment on the causes which produced it.... Upon such subjects, language must indeed lag behind the rapidity of feelings. Let it be remembered, however, that a government, which could authorize, and a judicature, which could sanction these proceedings, impiously assumes the attribute of justice , and boasts of mercy in its administration! This inimitable effusion of glowing and splendid eloquence was produced in defence of Mr. FINERTY. FINERTY was printer of the celebrated paper called the "Press," the only one that then dared to speak for the people, and to denounce their oppressors. He was prosecuted for " bringing the government into contempt ," by publishing a statement of the trial of WM. ORR, who was sentenced to the scaffold, upon the evidence of a perjured common informer. CURRAN did not expect to take any part in the trial; nor did he receive license 'till the jury were sworn.]
FEW men see, at once, that they cannot be hurt so much as they think by the mere battery of a newspaper. They do not reflect that every character has a natural station from which it cannot be effectually degraded, and beyond which it cannot be raised by the bawling of a news-hawker. If it is wantonly assailed, it is but for a season, and that a short one, and it emerges like the moon from a passing cloud to whatever original brightness it possessed. It is right, however, that it is law, and that you should hold the strictest hand over this kind of animadversion, that forces humility and innocence from their retreat into the glare of public view; that wounds and terrifies; that destroys the cordiality and the peace of domestic life; and that without eradicating a single vice, or a single folly, plants a thousand thorns in the human heart.
The learned counsel has been pleased to say, that he comes forward in this prosecution as the real advocate for the liberty of the press, and to protect a mild and merciful government from its licentiousness; and he has been pleased to add, that the constitution can never be lost, while its freedom remains, and that its licentiousness alone can destroy that freedom. As to that, gentlemen, he might as well have said, that there is only one disease of which a man can die; and when he comes forward to extinguish this paper in the ruin of the printer by a state prosecution, in order to prevent its dying of licentiousness, you
must judge how candidly he is treating you both in the fact and in the reasoning. Is it in Ireland, gentlemen, that we are told licentiousness is the only disease that can be mortal to the press? Has he heard of nothing else that has been fatal to the freedom of publication? I know not whether the printer of the Northern Star may have heard of such things in his captivity, but I know that his wife and his children are well apprised that a press may be destroyed in the open day, not by its own licentiousness, but by the licentiousness of a military force. As to the sincerity of the declaration that the state has prosecuted in order to assert the freedom of thought, melancholy retrospect and direful prospect, to which I did not think the learned counsel would have wished to commit their minds. It leads you naturally to reflect at what times, from what motives, and with what consequences the government has displayed its patriotism by these sort of prosecutions. As to the motives; does history give you a single instance in which the state has been provoked to these conflicts, except by the fear of truth and the love of vengeance? Have you ever seen the rulers of any country bring forward a prosecution from motives of filial piety, for libels upon their departed ancestors? Did you read that Elizabeth directed any of those state prosecutions against the libels which the divines of her times had written against her Catholic Sister, or against the other libels which the same gentlemen had written against her Protestant Father? No, gentlemen, we read of no such thing; but we know she did bring forward a prosecution from motives of personal resentment—we know that a jury was found time-serving and mean enough to give a verdict which she was ashamed to carry into effect. I said that the learned counsel drew you back to the times that have been marked by these miserable conflicts. I see you turn your thoughts to the pages of governmental abandonment, of popular degradation, of expiring liberty, of merciless and sanguinary persecution, to that miserable period, in which the fallen and abject state of man, might have been almost an argument in the mouth of an Atheist and the blasphemer, against the existence of an all just all wise First Cause, if the glorious era of the revolution that followed it, had not refuted the impious inference, by shewing that if man descends, it is not in his own proper motion; that it is with labor and with pain, and that he can continue to sink only, until by the force and pressure of the descent, the spring of his immortal faculties accues that recuperative energy and effort that hurries him as many miles aloft. It is at that period, that the state seeks for shelter in the destruction of the press; it is in a period like that, that the tyrant prepares for the attack upon the people, by destroying the liberty of the press; by taking away that shield of wisdom and of virtue, behind which the people are invulnerable; in whose pure and polished convex 'ere the lifted blow has fallen, he beholds his image, and is turned into stone. It is at those periods that the honest man dare not speak, because truth is too dreadful to be told. It is then the proud man scorns to speak, but like a physician baffled by the wayward excesses of a dying patient, retires indignantly from the bed of an unhappy wretch whose ear is too fatiduous to bear the sound of wholesome advice, whose palate is too debauched to bear the salutary bitter of the medicine that might redeem him, and therefore leaves him to the felonious piety, of the slaves, that talk to him of life, and strip him before he is cold.
Let me suppose that you had known the charge upon which Mr. Orr was apprehended, the charge of abjuring that bigotry which had torn and disgraced his country, or pledging himself to restore the people of his country to their place in the constitution, and of binding himself never to be the betrayer of his fellow laborers in that enterprise; that you had seen him upon that charge removed from his industry, and confined in a gaol, that through the slow and lingering progress of twelve tedious months you had seen
him confined in a dungeon, shut out from the common use of air and his own limbs: that day after day you had marked the unhappy captive, cheered by no sound but the cries of his family, or the clinking of chains; that you had seen him at last brought to his trial; that you had seen the vile and perjured informer deposing against his life; that you had seen the drunken, and worn out, and terrified jury give in a verdict of death, that you had seen the same jury, when their returning sobriety had brought back their consciences, prostrate themselves before the humanity of the bench, and pray that the mercy of the crown might save their characters from the reproach of an involuntary crime, their consciences from the torture of eternal self-condemnation, and their souls from the indelible stains of innocent blood. Let me suppose that you had seen the respite given, and that contrite and honest recommendation transmitted to the seat, where mercy was presumed to dwell; that new, and before unheard of crimes, are discovered against the informer, that the royal mercy seems to relent, and that a new respite is sent to the prisoner, that time is taken, as the learned council for the crown has expressed it, to see whether mercy could be extended or not! that after that period of lingering deliberation passed, a third reprieve is transmitted; that the unhappy captive himself feels the cheering hope of being restored to a family that he adored, to a character that he had never stained, and to a country that he had ever loved; that you had seen his wife and children upon their knees, giving these tears to gratitude, which their locked and frozen hearts could not give to anguish and despair, and imploring the blessings of eternal Providence upon his head, who had graciously spared the father, and restored him to his children. "Alas! no wife, nor children more shall behold, no friends nor sacred home!" No seraph mercy unbans his dungeon, and leads him forth to life and light, but the minister of death hurries him to the scene of suffering and of shame; where, unmoved by the hostile array of artillery and armed men collected together, either to secure or insult or disturb him, he dies with a solemn declaration of his innocence, and utters his last breath in a prayer for the liberty of his country.—Let me now ask you, if any of you had addressed the public ear upon so foul and monstrous a subject, in what language would you have conveyed the feelings of horror and indignation? Would you have stooped to the meanness of qualified complaint? Would you have been mean enough: but I entreat your forgiveness. I do not think meanly of you; had I thought so meanly of you I could not suffer my mind to commune with you as it has done, had I thought you that base and vile instrument, attuned by hope and by fear into discord and falsehood, from whose vulgar string no groan of suffering could vibrate, no voice of integrity or honor could speak, let me honestly tell you I should have scorned to fling my hand across it; I should have left it to fitter minstrels; if I do not therefore grossly err in my opinion of you, I could use no language upon such a subject as this, that must not lag behind the rapidity of your feelings, and that would not disgrace those feelings, if it attempted to describe them.
Gentlemen, I am not unconscious that the learned counsel for the crown seemed to address you with the confidence of a very different kind; he seemed to expect a kind of respectful sympathy from you with the feelings of the castle, and the griefs of chided authority. Perhaps, gentlemen, he may know you better than I do; if he does, he has spoken as he ought; he has been right in telling you, that if the reprobation of this writer is weak, it is because his genius could not make it stronger; he has been right in telling you that his language has not been braided and festooned as elegant as it might; that he has not pinched the miserable plait of his phraseology nor placed his patches and feathers with that correctness of millenary, which become so exalted a character. If you agree with him, gentlemen of the jury, if you think that the man who at the hazard of his own life, to rescue from the deep
the drowned honor of his country, must not presume upon the great familiarity of plucking it up by the locks, I have no more to say; do a courteous thing. Upright and honest jurors, find a civil and obliging verdict against the printer! and when you have done so, march thro' the ranks of your fellow citizens to your own homes, and bear their looks as you pass along; retire to the bosom of your families and your children, and when you are presiding over the morality of the paternal board tell those infants who are to be the future men of Ireland, the history of this day—Form their young minds by your precepts, and confirm those precepts by your own example; teach them how discreetly allegiance may be perjured on the table,* or loyalty be forsworn in the jury box; and when you have done so, tell them the story of Orr; tell them of his captivity, of his children; of his crime, of his hopes, of his disappointments, of his courage, and of his death; and when you find your little hearers hanging from your lips, when you see their eyes overflowing with sympathy and sorrow, and their young hearts bursting with the pangs of anticipated orphanage, tell them that you had the boldness and justice to stigmatize the monster—who had dared to publish the transaction!
Merciful God! what is the state of Ireland, and where shall you find the wretched inhabitant of this land? You may find him perhaps in a gaol, the only place of security; I had almost said of habitation; you may see him flying from the flames of his own dwelling; or you may find his bones bleaching on the green fields of his country; or he may be found tossing upon the ocean and mingling his groans with those tempests less savage than his persecutors, that drift him to a returnless distance from his family and his home. And yet with these facts ringing in the ear and staring in the face of the prosecutor, you are called upon to say, on your oaths, that these facts do not exist. You are called upon in defiance of shame, or truth, or honor, to deny the sufferings under which you groan, and to flatter the persecution that tramples you under foot.
I speak of what your own eyes have seen day after day, during the course of his commission from the box where you are now sitting; the number of horrid miscreants who avowed upon their oaths that they had come from the very seat of government;—from the castle, where they had been worked upon by the fear of death and the hopes of compensation to give the evidence against their fellows, that the mild and wholesome councils of this government are holden over catacombs of living death, where the wretch that is buried, a man, lies, till his heart has time to fester and dissolve, and is then dug up as a witness.
Is this fancy or is it fact? Have you not seen him after his resurrection from that tomb, make his appearance upon the table,* the living image of life and death, and the supreme arbiter of both? Have you not marked when he entered, how the stormy wave of the multitude retired at his approach? Have you not marked how the human heart bowed to the supremacy of his power, in the undissembled homage of deferential horror? How his glance like the lightning of Heaven, seemed to rive the body of the accused, and mark it for the grave, while his voice warned the devoted wretch of woe and death; a death which no innocence can escape, no art elude, no force resist, no antidote prevent; there was an antidote—a Juror's oath—but even that adamant chain that bound the integrity of man to the throne of eternal justice, is solved and melted in the breath that issues from the informer's mouth; conscience swings from her mooring, and the appalled and affrighted juror, consults his own safety in the surrender of the victim.
Et quæ sibi quisque timebat, Unius in miseri exitium conversa tuleret.
* In the Irish courts of justice, the "table" is a stand for witnesses.
