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 1 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 a 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 to 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, Kaskaskias 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 saw and grist 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 waft 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

TO THE PUBLIC.
A PIECE signed Jaminy Payne having appeared in the Kentucky Gazette of the third instant, I think it incumbent on me, for the information of those only who may be strangers to the writer, and myself, to insert in the same paper the following certificates.
B. THRUSTON.
"We the undersigned, who were of the jury on the trial of James Payne & Elijah Grymes, for an assault on Judge Thruston, do certify that from the unquestionable testimony of several respectable witnesses, who were examined before us, we were all well satisfied, that said Grymes was aiding & abetting the said Payne in the assault aforesaid, and that he was expressly procured by said Payne, as a backer on that occasion, for which we fined them both to the extent of the law. We further certify, that it appeared to us in testimony, that the cause of the assault aforesaid, was the part Judge Thruston took in court, on the bench, in a presentment against said Payne, at the last March term, for keeping a gaming table, and that from our knowledge of the Judge's conduct on that occasion, we highly applaud it and believe it gave very general satisfaction except to the parties concerned; and that the whole or most of us, are well informed of Judge Thruston's private conduct with regard to said Payne, since which we do approve of, as becoming a public officer and a man of
honour. Given under our hands this 14th of July, 1804. Will. Morton, Chas. Wilkins, John Jordan jun. James Morrison, John Postlethwait, James Lisbback Samuel Downing, John Tompkins, Madox Fisher, Geo. Anderson John Downing, Archd. McIlvain.
"We the subscribers, magistrates who presided at the trial of the abovementioned Payne and Grymes, for the aforesaid assault, do hereby concur in the representation in the above certificate contained, as well as in the sentiments therein expressed, by the gentlemen who have signed their names thereunto. Thomas Wallace, Samuel Ayres.
July 14th, 1804. We the subscribers practitioners of law in the circuit court of Fayette county, do certify, that we were present, when a motion was made to the court, at the last March term to quash a presentment against James Payne, for keeping a gaming table, and were witnesses to the conduct of Judge Thruston on that occasion, which we think was perfectly conformable to law, and such as his duty and the circumstances of the case required, and manifested great lenity towards the said Payne.

I certify that as a practising attorney in Fayette circuit court, I was present during the trial of the presentment against Mr. James Payne; that in my opinion the exposition of the act of Assembly as given by Judge Thruston was just; that it appeared to me that on that, as upon all similar occasions, the Judge was actuated solely by the desire of preserving the morals of society, and suppressing a pernicious practice, made by law his particular duty to reprove; and that the discharge of Mr. Payne without security, at the instance of one of the members of the bar, was rather an act of lenity than of strict right.
Henry Clay.
July 16th, 1804. In justice to Judge Thruston, I think it incumbent on me to declare, that in my certificate annexed to an address lately published by Jaminy Payne, I only meant to say that I did not see Grymes interfere in the assault on Mr. Thruston, nor was it probable he was spoken to, to back said Payne in case a scuffle should ensue; and this I have good reason to believe both from the testimony before the jury, and from the circumstance of said Payne's having spoken to me before the said assault to stand by him, which I refused.

Lexington, July 16th, 1804. WE this day went to Bradley's tavern, in this place, and asked if we could have our horses taken care of; he said we could. The boy was called for the purpose of feeding the horses, got on them, and started to feed them, and was called back, our horses tied at the place we left them. We soon observed them, and saw our bridles broke in pieces, and a stud horse amongst them. Bradley treated one of us in the same manner a few days ago. We hope our friends will notice such conduct, and treat the gentleman with that neglect which his conduct merits.

LEXINGTON, JULY 24. DIED—On the morning of the 18th inst. near Georgetown, Scott county, Mrs. ELIZABETH MOSEBY, wife of Capt. JOHN MOSEBY; she was an affectionate companion and mother, and justly esteemed by a numerous acquaintance. The loss to her family and society, can only be known by experience, not description.
AGREABLY to my promise, I shall now endeavour to shew, that the plan laid by the author of the piece signed "A True Republican," to promote Mr. Breckinridge's election to the Vice Presidency, was neither so weak, or limited in its probable consequences, as some might be led to suppose.
In the preliminary remarks, the author states his abhorrence of political intrigue and dissimulation—declares himself not biased by sinister motives—but conceives it his duty to expose error and corruption—to caution the public against every fatal deviation from principle. He endeavours to impress the public mind with the importance of the subject, with so much seeming candour, as might reasonably be supposed would secure the good opinion of every reader. He states that the perilous situation of the union, by the existence of a dangerous combination against the republican spirit of our constitution, demands an immediate and steady opposition on the part of the people. And to exhibit the picture in the strongest colours, brings into view the present situation of England; and attempts to shew, that by pursuing a conduct similar to what is now practising in the United States, she has lost national faith—acquired national debt, bankruptcy, a deranged financial system—and the people are duped out of their rights, by a system which has degraded the national character. To complete the picture, he says, "Believe me when I declare, that I look upon it as more precarious and alarming, than when the legions of Britain thundered on our shores." Having thus prepared the reader, he comes to the point, and relates the proceedings which took place during the last session of Congress, relative to the nomination of President and Vice President—states that jealousies existed in the final states, of the overgrown power of Virginia, and exposes the duplicity and selfishness which characterised her "intriguing policy."
Proceeding, he, with the most apparent candour, acknowledges, that Gen. Clinton's principles cannot be doubted, and that he "figured in the revolutionary conflict"—but states, "that he is worn out with years, and has heretofore declined entering into publick life; from a sense of his infirmities." He has ventured "to predict, that if Clinton is elected, he will feel the weight of government and his office, so heavily, that he will resign it, or at least he will not attend the different sessions." Mr. Jefferson's death is stated as probable—the consequence of which would be, that a President and Vice President would be chosen by the Senate. From whence it is inferred that the election of Mr. Jefferson and Gen. Clinton, would "suspend the powers of the sovereign people, and be an era of most imminent danger in the conduct of their affairs." And then the Americans are exhorted to guard against such a situation. What effect his assertions and reasoning would have, on a people jealous of their rights, and having no reasons to doubt the author's honesty, can be easily conceived, by reading the publication with attention.
The jealousy of the Western, and of the small states, is attempted to be awakened. "Now is the time," says the author, "this the golden hour, to break the combination of the unwieldy and overgrown states of Virginia and New-York; and not suffer ourselves to be duped into measures which are fraught with all the arts of fraud and intrigue." The analogy is then drawn between the Grecian and American combinations—"I can read," says he, "in the fate of Greece, the fate of America. To the intelligent reader it will be sufficient to say, THERE WAS AN ATHENS AND A SPARTA!!!—IN WHOSE VORTEX THE REST OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF GREECE WERE SWALLOWED UP!!!!"

To crown the whole, and fix the publick opinion in his favour, he summoned to his assistance the indignant tears of the departed heroes who achieved our independence.
His chain of reasoning is thus calculated to enlist under his banners, the feelings of the people at large; but more particularly the Western and small states, whose jealousy is excited in the most powerful manner possible. Having accomplished this, the probable success of the scheme may be seen by the following table:—
   Jefferson. Clinton. Breckin.     N. Hampshire, 7 0 7   Massachusetts, 0 0 19   Vermont, 6 0 6   Rhode-Island, 4 0 4   Connecticut, 0 0 9   New-York, 17 17 0   New-Jersey, 8 8 0   Pennsylvania, 20 20 0   Delaware, 3 0 3   Maryland, 11 11 0   Virginia, 24 24 0   N. Carolina, 14 0 14   S. Carolina, 10 0 10   Georgia, 6 0 6   Kentucky, 8 0 8   Tennessee, 5 0 5   Ohio, 3 0 3   136 80 94  
From the above it appears, that Mr. Breckinridge would have had a majority over Gen. Clinton of 14 votes, provided the plan had succeeded.
It is not clearly ascertained whether New-Hampshire and Delaware, will be republican or federal; but supposed republican. In either case, as they are small states, it might be presumed, that with the impressions made by the "True Republican," they would be in favour of Mr. Breckinridge, as the only means of breaking that combination which is said to exist between the two great states of Virginia and New-York.
The number of federalists in the union being so small as not to admit of either President or Vice President being elected from their party; it is probable that their only attempt will be to defeat the republican nomination—of course Massachusetts and Connecticut, the only two certain federal states in the union, would have been in favour of Mr. Breckinridge.
Vermont, Rhode-Island, North-Carolina, South-Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio, would have been in favour of Mr. Breckinridge, some of them being Southern, and others small states.
New-York and New-Jersey would have been unanimous in favour of Gen. Clinton.
Although Pennsylvania and Virginia, are stated above as unanimous in favour of Gen. Clinton, yet Mr. Breckinridge might reasonably have counted on a few votes from the back parts of both those states, which would have given him a still greater majority.
About the time the republican nomination of President and Vice President took place, a federal meeting was also held, generally supposed for similar purposes; but who were nominated by them has not yet been made publick.
Taking every circumstance into consideration, I think it was warranted in pronouncing, that the plot was laid by no ordinary contriver; but was conceived by a mind competent to such an undertaking, and thoroughly acquainted with the situation of political parties in the United States.
Whenever Mr. Breckinridge or any of his adherents think proper to offer any thing to the publick, in his vindication, they shall find the Kentucky Gazette open to receive it. He shall receive due notice; but anonymous writers need not expect a reply from
DAN. BRADFORD.
MR. BRADFORD,
Sir,
I have observed in your paper a publication with my name annexed declaring that if my fellow citizens would vote for me as an elector, I would vote for Thos. Jefferson as President, and John Breckinridge as Vice-President.
I do positively and unequivocally pronounce the declaration to be spurious; and do pledge myself in the most candid manner, that I never came to any resolution, to vote for Mr. Breckinridge as Vice-President, provided I had gotten the suffrage of my fellow citizens; as I believe it to be derogatory to the interest of the republican cause. And I do, with all the frankness of an honest man, assure you, and the rest of my fellow citizens, that I now am, & always have been much pleased, with the concerted scheme of the republican,
believing it to be the only safe plan to unite their strength, and produce perfect unanimity, which is so important to the peace, happiness, and prosperity of our Government, whilst at the same time, it is a complete scourge to those demons of tyranny, who have ever lurked in the vitals of our Government, preying on her virtues and deprecating her ruin.
After having thus delivered you my sentiments, I scarcely need observe, that a departure from the scheme, would be more than sufficient at this important crisis, to consign down to merited contempt, the fairest character; and here let me again aver, that I never annexed my name to any such piece; neither did it contain my sentiments upon the subject.
To all those of my fellow citizens who are intimately acquainted with me, I indulge a hope, that a positive denial on my part will be sufficient; and those who are unacquainted with me, I hope will have lenity enough, to suspend their judgments, until it should be shewn to the contrary; which I defy the honest part of the Community to do.
I hope Sir, that you will give this a place in your paper, and every other Editor in the state; that my countrymen may see how improperly my name has been used, and how much my real sentiments are perverted.

We last week received a note for publication from Judge Coburn, announcing his determination to support the republican nomination of president and vice president should he be chosen an elector. Mr. Coburn's note has been accidentally mislaid—we would thank him for a copy.
Four orations on the Anniversary of American Independence, are received. From the time which has intervened since their delivery, it is probable they would not be read with much pleasure; we therefore would suggest the propriety of their being withdrawn.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman residing in Winchester, Virginia.
"A mountain fifteen or twenty miles hence (from Winchester) bursted, and an area of fifteen or twenty acres of earth fell into the adjacent valley, to the consternation and utter ruin of the inhabitants; the force and violence being such as to have crushed and destroyed trees, fences, houses and every thing which was in its way. The mass of earth, gravel and rocks fallen on the surface of the bottoms has not only destroyed the crops thereon growing, but has covered the soil so deep as to render it almost useless for cultivation in future."
Mr. Wilberforce has given notice in the house of commons, that on Friday, he is to make a motion for the immediate abolition of the Slave trade. This is a subject which has long occupied the attention of this gentleman.
Letters from Holland mention the execution of several persons at Paris, who had lodged or concealed the pretended accomplices of the pretended conspiracy. They complain of the emigrations of most of the richest Dutch citizens, at a period when the contributions demand such immense sums. At Amsterdam 1500 warehouses and magazines are advertised to be sold or let; and at Rotterdam, 460. The value of the houses in these two cities has decreased three eighths, and the country houses nearly one half, from within these two years. At Amsterdam, of a population of 200,000, 95,000 are described as reduced to beggary, and in need of relief. The exchange at Amsterdam, as well as that of Rotterdam, is almost empty since French police agents demand passes, or arrest any person they choose to regard as suspected, or to accuse of trading with England.

LEXINGTON, JULY 17, 1804.
For the Kentucky Gazette.
HIBERNIAN VISITOR.
LETTER X.
MY DEAR SIR,
I arrived at this place on Saturday after a tiresome and disagreeable journey, made more particularly so by the miserable and muddy roads over which I had to pass.
Ever since my arrival in Kentucky, I have been surprised at this general inattention of the people to the improvement of roads; and now that the season has made them worse, and I have suffered some of the inconveniences which are occasioned by them I am feelingly alive to the subject. In no part of the country do the people appear to consider the subject to be of that importance which it undoubtedly merits. No where have I seen good roads.—In the neighbourhood of towns, they are neglected, and, indeed, the very streets are frequently impassable. The roads which lead to landings and warehouses, which an uninterested spectator would suppose that your interest would prompt you to improve, are so far from being passable for waggons and carriages, that they very often endanger the existence of the traveller.
What my friend is the cause of this state of things? Is it possible that you can be ignorant, that good roads are not more essential to the convenience of the traveller, than they are to the improvement and prosperity of the country? are you not sensible that the value of your productions is in consequence lessened? And that you have the manufactures of other countries at a higher price? In Great Britain we are so sensible of the importance of good roads, that no expence or exertion is spared to make them. People there consider every farthing that is expended on them, as so much added to the capital of the country, and confidently expect ample remuneration for all the expence and labour that is laid out to obtain them.
But here the people, as well as the Legislature seem inattentive to the subject; for I hear of no associations of individuals to improve roads, and the Legislature it seems, refuse every application that is made for the purpose.
Kentucky to be sure, is, comparatively speaking in its infancy; & we are therefore not to expect the greatest perfection in arts, science, and improvement. But your exertions do not seem proportioned to your means, nor your roads to the wealth and population of the country.
To what cause is this to be ascribed? Am I to look for it, in the nature of your political institutions? or in the genius & habits of your people? Perhaps in both. The political institutions of the country make the Governors dependant upon the governed, and afraid that taxation will make the latter discontented, the former seldom act liberally with the public money; so that many arts and works which need the United aid of a nation to perfect them, fail for want of a great fostering power. Your people, accustomed to complain, if taxation is increased, therefore deter the liberal minded representative from acting at all. Is this an evil or not? I think it is a serious evil, and I hope that you may not suffer by your policy. In Europe the Artist, the Philosopher and the Experimentalist, are assisted by the Government; and are thus enabled to perfect human knowledge & and extend the means of human happiness. There you hear of vessels fitted out to traverse the globe, to promote the interests of science and philosophy—but here, parliament seems to be the order of the day.—An incident which took place in Lexington a day or two before I left it, will perfectly illustrate this point. Proposals had been issued to raise a sum of money by subscription, for the purpose of building a steam-boat, upon a plan, recently invented by an artist of that town. The plan was approved of by competent judges, and not a doubt seemed to be entertained of its success. The experiment had been tried on a small scale, and it had succeeded astonishingly. It was thought to be of immense importance to the western country, and yet the subscription papers were not filled, nor was there any probability that they would be. The projector wants capital to undertake the work himself, and it seems that it will not be progressed in, until in some future age the people are more patriotic, enlightened and enterprising.
My remarks on this subject shall be continued in my next letter.
Yours sincerely,
*****
From the Independent Gazetteer. MORE OF BRECKENRIDGE.
Factions, intrigues and dangers are gathering around us. Times are critical; our situation is alarming. Kentucky has been justly famed for her unanimity, firmness, and magnanimous attachment to the Union. Now, to gratify the vanity and ambition of a man, every thing is to be "thrown up to the wind."
A piece under the signature of "A True Republican" has produced an extraordinary agitation of the public mind. The dangerous and daring nature and tendency of this shameful publication have already been pointed out to the public, and a belief is insinuated that J. Breckenridge has been intriguing for the Vice-Presidency. This charge may have the appearance of rashness and temerity, and Breckenridge may vaunt a wounded sensibility for his supposed apostasy. If racks, hatchets, vipers, riot on his feelings, he has made the bed of torture for himself. A dupe to his vanity, he is now rather an object of pity, than contempt.
The True Republican was prepared for the press about the beginning of June. It was handed to Mr. Bradford by a fellow whose fallhood, prevarication and dastardly pusillanimity are proverbial. It was returned; brought forward by the same fellow, and again returned; and then handed to the editor of the Independent Gazetteer. On the 25th or 26th of June, Mr. Breckenridge was positively informed of the existence of the piece; its dangerous sentiments and opinions; and he was informed that it was in possession of the editor of the Independent Gazetteer. Breckenridge was then in Lexington; and although the gentleman who gave him this information, lived, and was then in town, and the printer who afterwards published it, at his office, Breckenridge never called upon either of them. Let Breckenridge deny this. On the 29th of June the True Republican appeared; and on the 5th of July Breckenridge, in his note to Mr. Bradford, declares that he wishes it to be understood that he has no pretensions to the Vice-Presidency. I ask for the reason of this delay? Breckenridge knew of the piece, which was professedly to form a party in his favor, ten days before the date of his note. Two gentlemen appeared in the public papers, avowed candidates for Breckenridge, about or a little after the publication of the True Republican. Breckenridge knew all this; and if he had intended to act the candid, ingenious part, he would instantly have silenced the efforts of his friendly menial ; he would openly declared that he was not a candidate for the Vice-Presidency; he would publicly disavowed the factious principles and views of the True Republican; or rather he would have prevented the publication of the piece at all; and would not have delayed until the universal indignation of his fellow citizens evidenced the danger and imminent hazard of the unprincipled scheme.
There is one fact which stamps the attempt with the deepest hypocrisy. On the 23d June, a letter was addressed to Breckenridge from Lexington. It was not answered until the 2d July. From this, it appears, that the subject of the first was the danger of dividing the republican party. Breckenridge, in replying, declares unequivocally, that the strictest union and harmony of the republicans, were essential to our national safety, and that nothing should be done which would tend to impair their unanimity. I speak of his letter from memory, not having a copy. In the sense I am correct. This letter was not shown publicly, I know not whether privately at all, until the tenth of this month. The whale's swallowing Jonah cannot produce more surprise than this miracle of Breckenridge's solicitude for preserving the unanimity of the republican party! Breckenridge did not answer this letter of the 23d June, until the 2d July, although it appears to have been on the momentous subject of splitting up, into factions, the republican party! But Breckenridge is sometimes careless about the interests of the unbellowed multitude ; and it ought to be re-
collected also, as an extenuation of his unpardonable apathy, that on the 26th June he was particularly informed of the True Republican, which flattered him with the Vice-Presidency, and then the Presidency; for he is confident that it will "please the divine disposer of human events to call Mr. Jefferson to the land of rest," in less than four years. This ignis fatuus , or Jack o' the lantern of the Vice-Presidency, and phantoms of Presidential honors and dignity were too pleasing and consolatory to his vanity and ambition to be immediately relinquished; and not until the second of July did he voluntarily write that it would be dangerous to divide the republican party! But why was all this kept a profound secret, until the tenth July? Mr. Breckenridge was before the public as a candidate for the Vice-Presidency; an attempt was made to divide the republican interest in his favor; two gentlemen appeared in the public papers, avowing themselves electoral candidates for him; an impression began to be general that Breckenridge had acted with duplicity in the affair; and yet this miraculous letter is not brought from behind the curtain 'till the tenth instant!!! There is some mystery in this that must and shall be out.
One word to Capt. S——, who will do, say, and unsay anything. Will you be so good as to satisfy the public, whether you did not like a perfidious rascal, forge the publication of the Rev. Mr. Price as a candidate for an election?
SQUINTING.
Lexington, 12th July.
By a reference to the certificate, alias affidavit of Capt. S. alias B's lacquey, it appears, that he was the author of the "True Republican;" but that it was corrected by Mr. McGruder. The Captain is informed, that the public is anxious to see his piece in its original state of blundering simplicity. It is suspected, that the Captain never wrote the "True Republican;" his certificate and affidavit to the contrary notwithstanding.
It seems the Explorer of Caverns has lately turned Politician; but like his worthy Patron, would-be-Vice-President, he has more vanity, than common sense. The Capt. is advised to return to his former dreary employment; for like a * * * *, he appears better calculated for burrowing in the earth, than acting the part of a man.
Did Stevenson write his admirable Description of a Cave, or did he get some gentleman to do it for him? Would-be-authors, blockheads, dunces, &c. are respectfully informed, that a certain Mr. M c G r ——, of Lexington, performs the part of a corrector and critic in the handsomest style and on the shortest notice.
CRETOMB.
From the Independent Gazetteer.
AGAINST the direct attacks of an open and honorable adversary, who states his charges explicitly, and supports them by the responsibility of his own character, the innocent may defend themselves with effect. But different, very different is the case, when the lurking assassin, watching the favorable moment for putting into execution his hellish designs, attempts to destroy the reputation of others by dark insinuations and bold assertions. Enlarge the passions of man, and you dethrone for a while the exercise of his understanding. Electioneering scribblers, fiends, whose daily occupation is to excite groundless jealousies, know this well. They enlist this frailty of man on their side, and triumph over those whose virtues they hate; and who scorn to fight them with their own weapons.
PAULDING, (a writer in the Independent Gazetteer of Friday last) is certainly entitled to a pre-eminent station among this class of gentry. He hurls abuse with the fury of a Porcupine, and coins a falsehood with the facility of a Calender. Years of hard-earned reputation are to be sacrificed to the suspicions of a moment...and no services, however arduous and beneficial to the country...no conduct, however virtuous and consistent, can abate his fury, or teach him moderation. All, all who have incurred his suspicion, or stand in the way of his favorites, must be consigned to a political death. Like a true disciple of the school of Robespierre, he attempts the destruction of his victims on a charge of "being suspected,"...and appears to think that the production of proof is not at all necessary to the conviction of the accused. He is mistaken. Proofs will
* Robespierre's warrant for the apprehension of such as displeased him, and which was in fact a passport to the guillotine, ran in this strain: "Convey..... to prison on a suspicion of being suspected."
be required to support his assertions; and should he fail to produce them, he will only injure the cause he intended to serve. If he is conscious of being actuated by pure motives, let him come forward in his own proper name, and suffer those whom he has had the audacity to accuse of a dereliction of principle, to meet him on even ground. Let him give the citizens an opportunity of judging, whether he is perfectly disinterested in the result of the pending election; or whether he has not some connection whom he wishes to serve, by traducing the characters of those who stand in their way, or who may not be pliant enough to answer his purposes.
So far as the insinuations of Paulding have reference to myself, I declare them false, and challenge him to produce a single instance of equivocation in my political conduct, since the responsibility of a public print devolved upon me. Let him extend his scrutiny, if he chooses, into the unguarded hours of conversation, and he will find, to his confusion, that a sentiment hostile to real republican principles never escaped my lips, since I arrived at the age when man commonly thinks for himself. I make these assertions with the boldness of conscious truth, and appeal to those who know me best, whether their recollection will not bear me out.
What! is it come to this, that Mathew Lyon is to be considered the criterion of political consistency in Kentucky? That to escape the suspicion of apostasy, it is necessary to rally round his standard... and that to oppose any of his speculative opinions is to consign oneself to the execration of the independent freemen of Kentucky?....Heaven forbid, that we should have arrived at such a point of degradation, or that such absurdity should find any advocates out of the circle of the Colonel's acquaintance, or of those who may have bartered away their political integrity to serve a temporary, electioneering purpose!
"Paulding" charges me with having shown a preference for the election of General Hopkins in the place of Col. Lyon, and infers that this is a link in the chain of intrigue for the Vice-Presidency. I acknowledge the fact, so far as it regards the election of General Hopkins, but deny the inference he draws, or that it has had any influence on my conduct as editor of a public print. I am in favor of the election of Hopkins, because he is not a man of "pliant" principles... but a firm, inflexible, undeviating republican. I am opposed to the election of Lyon, because he has attempted to excite groundless jealousies against the policy of Virginia, and the republican majority in congress...sentiments for which the "True Republican" has merited and received the execration of the people of Kentucky. I am in favor of the election of Hopkins, because firm and undaunted he has braved the storms of war, and sheathed his sword with honor. I am opposed to the election of Lyon, because (if I am not misinformed) he left the service under the censure of a court-martial. If he has been unjustly treated, he has never satisfactorily explained the cause, so far as it has come to my knowledge; and I state the circumstance on the authority of a newspaper in which I saw the proceedings published. Finally, I am in favor of Hopkins, because he possesses the confidence of the leading republicans in Congress, which Lyon has lost; and because I believe his talents are better calculated to promote our interests in that station, than those of Colonel Lyon.
These are the reasons which would induce me to prefer Gen. Hopkins to Col. Lyon, as a representative of Kentucky in the councils of the Union, and should govern my vote, were I an inhabitant of the first district. I should not, however, have obtruded them upon the public at this time, but for the mistaken zeal of "Paulding," who has compelled me in defence of my own reputation, to avow them, or suffer the public to take up an impression that I was actuated by less honorable motives. If Colonel Lyon's enemies have written more than his friends, and I give currency to their charges it is not my fault. Let them be more industrious in future; and they will have no grounds to suspect that the PALLADIUM wants either firmness or consistency.
It is recommended to Paulding to pursue his examination of the intrigue for the Vice-Presidency. Let him trace it through all its ramifications, and bring it home to the conspirators. But let him remember the fate of Harper!...If he should lose his clue, he will sink into contempt, and ever after be deprived even of the power of doing mischief!

NEW-YORK, JUNE 28.
A Dublin paper of April 19, mentions the receipt of news by an arrival from the continent stating that the court of Denmark had taken much offence at the conduct of the French, who had reinforced their army on the north bank of the Elbe, were still transporting immense quantities of ammunition to the Dutchy of Lanesburg, & had formed magazines of powder in the neighborhood of Altona and Hamburgh. In consequence of these latter mea-

tures the magazines within the Danish territory near Altona had been seized, and the Danish troops on the frontiers of Lubec and Lauenburgh had been ordered to resist any territorial violation or encroachment. The Danish militia ready to take the field is stated at 100,000.
FROM PARIS—Accounts of April 7. state that the senatus Consultum, which is to settle the hereditary permanence of the government, in a manner the most conducive to the welfare of France & the tranquility of the world, is expected shortly to make its appearance. Also that Louis Bonaparte has been appointed counsellor of state, as he is the only one of the brothers of the first consul who has male issue. The circumstance seems not irrelative to the reports which still continue of the establishment of an hereditary succession.
Capt. Masters, arrived at Salem on the 15th inst. from the Mediterranean, informs that the French Toulon fleet was really out, and had been seen by the British fleet under lord Nelson, who had not been able to bring them to action:—that the French consisted of eight sail of the line and the British only of 7; and that the French professed the determination of their fleet to meet the British after they had evaded them long enough to get their men under good discipline. We think however, the British force in the Mediterranean is stronger than here stated. Capt. M. spoke a Danish vessel direct from Tripoli, the master of which informed him that, added to the impression which the destruction of the Philadelphia frigate had made upon the Tripolines, they were now greatly alarmed by a report that prevailed among them, that besides the frigate Commodore Preble had 17 gun boats under his command, cruising against them. Such a report must serve to restrain the Barbarians in port, and of course increase the security of our commerce.

Captain Carew, of the brig Neptune of this port, in 30 days from Lisbon, came up from his vessel yesterday, and has obligingly furnished us with the following information;
The American consul at Lisbon, Mr. Jarvis, had received letters from Mr. Livingston at Paris, announcing that Bonaparte had been proclaimed emperor of the Gauls, that the French minister had received official information of that event, in consequence of which Lisbon was illuminated, and Te Deum sung in all the churches, to attend which all the foreign ministers and consuls had been invited, and none refused except the English consul.
London papers of April 28 mention the discovery of a new plot in France, in which Brest was to have been surrendered to the English, and notice a communication explanatory on the subject, from an old officer named Rivoire, to the grand judge, confessing that he was connected with that plot, and that he also knew of the Infernal Machine plot.

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 refund, am determined to enforce a specific performance.

The imported Stallion Speculator,
WILL stand the ensuing season, which will commence the 1st day of March, and end the first day of August next, at the farm of John Breckinridge, esq. near Lexington, in Kentucky, and may cover mares at ten dollars the leap, to be paid at the stable door; twenty-four dollars the season, to be discharged any time before the first day of August, by the payment of twenty dollars; and forty dollars to ensure a mare to be with foal to be returned if such should not be the case, if the mare remains the property of the person who put her to the horse; with one dollar to the groom in every instance. Attested notes for the
season, and insurance to be sent with the mares.
SPECULATOR
Is now rising nine years old, is a very handsome horse, near sixteen hands high, a fine bay with as many good running points as any horse on the continent, and is well calculated to get either excellent race, saddle or carriage horses; and has established himself to be a most capital stallion, as may be seen by his colts, which are now rising one year old—his blood is unexceptionable, and of the purest kind, as may be seen by his
PEDIGREE.
SPECULATOR was bred by the Duke of Bedford, and got by his favorite stallion Dragon, (now in Virginia, and covered 145 mares last season, at ten guineas per mare) who was son to Woodpecker, his dam by King Hered, a fitter to Florizel, Bourdeaux, and Sting, and the dam of Portia, Narcissa, Jessica, and Tarantula; his grand dam by Cygnet, who was got by the Godolphin Arabian; his great grand dam by Cartouch, a very capital stallion; his great grand grand dam Ebony, by Childers, out of old Ebony, by Balo, who was got by the Byerly Turk, out of Bay Peg, by the Leeds Arabian.
PERFORMANCES.
SPECULATOR has been a capital running horse—In 1798 he won once, being the only time on the turf that year—in 1799, being then four years old, at the New-Market Craven meetings, he beat Mr. Watson's Young Magpie, for 100 guineas—at New-Market second spring meetings, he beat Lord Sackville's famous horse Sober Robin, for 50 guineas—at the same meeting he won a handicap plate, of 50 guineas each, beating six good horses, among which was the celebrated horse Aimator; the same day he received 41 1-2 guineas forfeit from Mr. Heathcote's Opposition—at the July New-Market meeting he beat Mr. Cullan's Young Spear, for 100 guineas, 7 to 4 on Speculator; at Brighton he won a handicap plate (the new course) 50 guineas each, beating Combatant, Alcot, Mr. Wyndham's horse by Fidget, Cypress, Sifter, Midnight, Play or Pay, and Opposition; at New-Market first October meeting, he walked over for a sweep stake of 50 guineas each, Bollenamuck and Combatant fearing to run against him, paid him a forfeit; at the second October meeting he beat Mr. Wyndham's horse by Fidget, for 50 guineas, 5 and 6 to 4 on Speculator; making eight times he won this year, which is oftener than any other horse won in said year, and came in second, for a handicap plate of 50 guineas each, beating eight good horses, although he carried 7lb more than any horse that started; in 1800 then 5 years old, at New-Market Craven meetings, he beat Mr. Hayworth's Filbert for 100 guineas carrying him 7lbs, at the same meeting he won the great Oatland stakes of 50 guineas each (26 subscribers) beating Expedition, Wrangler, Herby-Lass, Stamford, Telegraph, Antrim, and Vandall; all good horses—at the first New-Market spring meeting, he won a sweep stake of 50 guineas each (4 subscribers) carrying 12 stone 2lbs. (say 170lbs.) beating Lord Burford's Waymoth, with great ease, 7 to 4 on Speculator; at the second spring meeting, he received forfeit of 130 guineas from the Duke of Queensbury's chestnut horse Eggham, carrying him 4 lbs. It must be observed, that the great Oatland stakes is considered among the first races in England; at the end of 1800 he was taken with the distemper which put an end to his racing; and was then purchased of the Prince of Wales for me; and imported from London last fall. The above pedigree and performances of Speculator, are taken from the general stud-book and racing callenders of England; the authority of which has never yet been called in question, and they are always referred as authentic records upon those subjects.
JOHN HOOMES
Bowling Green, Virginia.
The above horse was at our request, sent by John Hoomes esq. to this state, & will stand the ensuing season at the plantation of John Breckinridge, on North-Elkhorn, where very extensive and excellent blue grass pasture, well enclosed and well watered, will be furnished to mares coming at a distance, gratis. The greatest care will be taken of the mares, and corn furnished if required, at the market price; but we will not be liable for escapes or accidents.
Mr. Hoomes has been in the practice or many years, of importing from England, the finest horses which that country produces; and from his character, and our acquaintance with him, the most implicit reliance can be placed in any certificate he gives.
Any person putting seven mares, and becoming responsible, gets one gratis; if the horse stands in the state, and continues the present owner's, those mares that do not prove in foal, has the next year gratis, except the groom's fee.
