FROM THE WESTERN WORLD. The Kentucky Spanish Association, Blount's Conspiracy, and General Miranda's Expedition. [CONTINUED.]
THE short statement which we have already given of the commencement of the first of these traitorous schemes, has, as we expected, drawn upon us the avowed enmity of several individuals, who, although not named by us, yet, conscious of the part they acted in the negotiation with Gardoque, felt their minds roused to the memory of guilt and the blackest treason. But it is with the most lively satisfaction we learn that we have received in general the thanks of our fellow-citizens, and proffers of the warmest support in the arduous task we have undertaken, of dragging before the publick the enemies of our country; whether guarded by the ensigns of military power, reclined at ease in mansions erected upon Spanish bribes, or protected by the feat of justice.
It was our intention, and is still our design, to touch merely upon those characters who are absolutely necessary to be named, in order to explain the history of this conspiracy. We were inclined to allow many others, equally guilty, to pass the remainder of their prostituted days unnoticed; believing that the recollection of the early period of their life being devoted to fraud and treason, would in the decline of age be itself a sufficient punishment.
But whenever any individual, relying upon his wealth, upon his supposed respectability of his character, upon the imaginary influence he has among the citizens of the state, or upon the more slender protection of venerable deportment, volunteers himself to be called forward; let him recollect, that Kentucky is not
yet a Spanish province; that we have neither dukes, marquises, or counts among us, to confer authors the dungeons of the inquisition, or send printers in chains to the row-galleys.
His honour judge Sebastian, if his reason had ever risen to a par with his passions, would have seriously reflected upon these circumstances, if he had pronounced a few days self on this occasion, since his philippic against the editors of the Western World. If his prudence had not entirely deterred him, he would have remembered the old vulgar proverb; "Those who live in glass houses ought not to throw stones." He would have recollected the name of the gentleman who was appointed by the conspirators their commissioner at the court of Madrid; and most seriously would have pondered on that part of a toast given at Frankfort, on the 4th of July: "Those judges of the Kentucky courts, whose integrity has never been stained by Spanish gold."
With this memento to judge Sebastian, we now proceed with our narration. After general Washington was acquainted by colonel Marshall with the several particulars of the proposal made by Gardoque and col. Conolly, and the names of their partisans in Kentucky, he caused Dr. Stewart of Alexandria, the son-in-law of Mrs. Washington, to address a letter to the speaker of the house of representatives on the subject. A committee of enquiry was in consequence appointed; but the manner in which this enquiry was suppressed by the agents of the association in congress, we decline mentioning, until we have procured the correspondence between general Washington and col. Marshall, with Doctor Stuart's letter & the speaker's answer, which we are in hopes of having before our history of the conspiracy be concluded.
On Connolly's arrival in Canada, the celebrated gen. Bowles, then at Montreal, was fixed upon by Lord Dorchester, as the most proper person to carry his scheme into execution in Kentucky and the Western territory. Under the fictitious name of Drummond, he came into Kentucky in the fall of 1789; staid several weeks at Lexington and Louisville, and afterwards proceeded down the Mississippi to the Cherokee and Creek nations, in order to withdraw their attachment from the Spanish government, and transfer their interest to the support of Great Britain, thinking that these savage tribes would be a powerful instrument to subdue the party in Kentucky inimical to the British interest. With this view he carried nine or eleven of the principal chiefs to London in 1790, where they remained about six months. Here Bowles and Miranda were introduced to each other. Miranda had been alternately between Paris and London for several years previous to this period, courting both the revolutionists of France and the minister of Great Britain for employment. Had the affair of Nootka Sound not been settled, he probably would have been landed in California or New-Mexico with a British army; but this commercial dispute having been adjusted, all expectations of a rupture with Spain were terminated.
We have not learned the particulars which finally determined him at this time to accept of a command in the French army, and to abandon his idea of conquering New-Spain; but certain it is, he left the British court in disgust and came to Paris, where he became known to Joel Barlow, then an agent for the Ohio Land Company. Many of the members of the Ohio Land Company were active leaders in the Kentucky Spanish association; but we have strong reasons for believing that Barlow himself was entirely a stranger to the conspiracy. The mind of this gentleman is too much occupied with poetical reveries and political disquisitions ever to make a confidential conspirator or good intriguer. It was, however, the wish of many of his employers that the Ohio state should be peopled with Frenchmen, thinking that those people being prejudiced against American manners and customs, they would more easily be induced to take a part against the citizens of the union. But Barlow, in place of attending to the object of his mission, set off on a revolutionizing expedition to the mountains of Savoy, &
* See a letter addressed to the people of Piedmont, by Joel Barlow, written at Chamberry in Savoy, in December 1792, printed in French at Grenoble; in Italian at Nice, and sent from these places into Piedmont, and other parts of Italy, during that winter; afterwards translated into English, and printed at London in 1795.
left the affairs of the Ohio Company in the hands of a Scotchman of the name of William Playfair, author of a work entitled "The History of Anti-Jacobinism." Playfair had been employed for several years in France as a British spy, and therefor was acquainted by the minister of his court how to conduct himself in every case. He acquitted himself on this occasion in a manner, though not the most honourable, that completely defeated both the plan of Joel Barlow and his company.
In place of contracting with French peasantry to purchase the Ohio lands, the only class of people whom they would have suited, he contrived to persuade about twelve hundred of the lower class of Parisians, composed of barbers, siddlers, and bakers, and such as he knew were least acquainted with agriculture, to take shares at fifty guineas each; for which they were to receive a specified number of acres & their passage to America. Having embarked this motley and frivolous company on board of three vessels bound for Alexandria, Playfair pocketed the money and set off for England, leaving Joel Barlow to account to his employers for the purchase money, and the Frenchmen to seek for the acres where they could be found. The unhappy foreigners landed at the destined port and were conducted by a person of the name of Le Turek to the mouth of the Kephawa. Instead of rich fields and vineyards, which they had figured to their imagination, they found themselves in the midst of immeasurable woods, exposed to the inroads of the savages and to the wants of nature. Discouraged with their situation, and seeing no other prospect more flattering, the greater number embarked for New-Orleans, and thus disconcerted the original views of the company.
Returning from this digression to gen. Wilkinson, we shall next consider his agency in the conspiracy, until the death of gen. Wayne, in 1796. General Washington being convinced from the information of col. Marshall, of the existence of a Spanish association in Kentucky, & of the strength of the party, adopted a policy which may be censured by a few, but which, owing to the circumstances of the times, was certainly the most prudent which he could pursue, after the committee of enquiry in congress had qualified the investigation. He appointed Wilkinson, in 1791, to a colonels commission at Fort Washington, under gen. Wayne; having instructed gen. Wayne of his character, and requested of him to use every possible endeavour to procure all documents which would tend to develop the plans of the conspirators. The correspondence between Washington and Wayne on the subject, with all the documents which Wayne procured, and which sufficiently explain the views of the association, we are informed are now in the possession of the son of general Wayne, viz. Isaac Wayne, Esqr. attorney at law, in Chester county, Pennsylvania.
The enmity which Wilkinson and his friends bore to the citizens of Kentucky, who opposed their views, cannot be better illustrated, than by citing the death of the unfortunate col. Hardin. This brave officer & patriotic citizen, had uniformly opposed the views of gen. Wilkinson, and was most active in detecting the schemes of the conspirators. To get rid of such a formidable opponent, was, therefore, the earnest wish of the party. Charges of cowardice were purposely whispered about and preferred against him, particularly by gen. Wilkinson, who publicly arraigned his conduct under gen. Harmer. An occasion afterwards occurred, which gave Wilkinson, as he said, an opportunity of putting Hardin's bravery to the test. A treaty was required to be effected with the Indian tribes, and Wilkinson fixed upon Hardin for this purpose, to carry a flag of truce from Cincinnati to the Sanduski villages, without adopting any previous means of apprizing the savages of the peaceable intentions of Kentucky. The event was, as might have been expected; poor Hardin was massacred by the first party he met; and thus was a powerful obstacle to the views of the Kentucky association, treacherously and basely removed.
A circumstance happened in the fall of 1792, which afforded the people the first proofs of the importation of Spanish gold among the party. This was the murder of a man of the name of Owens, an intimate of Wilkinson, who was carrying from the Spanish governor at New-Orleans, the sum of six thou-

and dollars in specie to Wilkinson. The crew, who were four Spanish soldiers, after killing Owens, made their escape; but two of them were taken, and brought before Judge Innes, who remanded them to General Wilkinson, then at Fort Washington. The latter, although the murder was committed within the American territories, attempted to return the prisoners to Giozo, at Natchez. But Major Doyle, who commanded at Fort Mafac, knowing his duty, took them into custody, and ordered them for Lexington, where they underwent a trial, but were acquitted, from the want of sufficient evidence. The particulars of the six thousand dollars, were, however, fully substantiated on the trial; which would never have been heard of, if the murderers had not been carried to Lexington; and the concealment most probably was Wilkinson's motive for ordering them to New-Orleans. General Washington having been informed of the circumstance, demanded an explanation from Wilkinson, who in vindication, alleged, that the six thousand dollars were sent as a compensation from the Spanish government to him, for the trouble he had taken, and the expense he had incurred, in establishing a tobacco trade between Kentucky and New-Orleans. That he had presented to the Spanish court a memorial for that purpose, stating forth that his losses were equivalent to twenty thousand dollars, and the six thousand of which he had been robbed, were the only remuneration granted.
The importation of another considerable sum to the party in 1796, was ascertained by the officer sent by General Wayne to take possession of the Spanish forts of Walnut Hills, Natchez, and Chickasaw Bluffs, in consequence of an agreement to that effect, entered into between Gen. Wayne and the Baron de Corondulite, Governor-General of Louisiana. The latter had agreed, that they should be delivered up in October 1796, in consequence of which, Capt. — was ordered to take possession. In descending the Ohio, he fell in with Alfred Sebastian, a son of Judge Sebastian, and at present, an officer under Wilkinson. This young associate had been sent expressly, with private dispatches from Wilkinson to Giozo, but his skiff having been stove near the mouth of the Ohio, Capt. — took him on board his boat, and landed him at New-Madrid. Alfred expressed great uneasiness at first, left Capt. — should seize his dispatches, and was commencing an earnest supplication for their preservation, when Capt. — assured him he had no such intentions, but if his orders had been such, his entreaties should be of no avail. At New-Madrid, young Alfred was met by a Doctor Powers, who had in charge a sum of money for Wilkinson. This Powers was a native of Great Britain, and had been employed for several years, as the mutual agent of Giozo and Wilkinson. Alfred set off immediately with his dispatches, upon the receipt of which by Giozo, intelligence was forwarded to New-Madrid, from the Governor-General of Louisiana, that the forts could not be given up, as had been agreed upon. The excuse offered, was, that the river was too low, and the artillery could not be floated off. To this circumstance, President Adams alludes in his speech to Congress, 23d of November 1797. "I have entertained an expectation, that it would have been in my power, at the opening of the session, to have communicated to you the agreeable information of the due execution of our treaty with his Catholic Majesty, respecting the withdrawing of his troops from our territory, and the demarcation of the line of limits. But by the latest authentic intelligence, Spanish garrisons were still continued within our country, and the running of the boundary line had not been commenced. These circumstances are the more to be regretted, as they cannot fail to affect the Indians, in a manner injurious to the United States. Still, however, indulging the hope, that the answers which have been given, will remove the objection offered by the Spanish officers to the immediate execution of the treaty, I judged it proper, that we should continue in a state of readiness to receive the posts, and to run the line of limits."
Alfred Sebastian did not return for two years, but is said during his absence, to have acted as an officer in the Spanish horse, at New-Orleans. Among the various documents which were collected by Gen. Wayne, relative to the conspiracy, is a letter from Major Green, of Natchez, proving in the most satisfactory manner, that Wilkinson, during his command at Fort Washington, also held a General's commission in the Spanish service. Mr. Ellicott who was employed to run the line, procured documents of the like import, which were delivered to the Executive. The death of Gen. Wayne, which happened in the end of 1796, and the expiration of the presidency of Gen. Washington, alone prevented the trial of Wilkinson on charges of treason. No sooner was Mr. Adams elected, than Gen. Wilkinson hurried to Philadelphia, to obtain the favour of the new President. The pomp, parade, and artful address of Wilkinson, soon gained upon John Adams. He caused the President to believe, that many of the machinations of himself and his party, were the attempts of foreign agents, to alienate the affections of the Indian nations, and to excite them to actual hostilities against the United States. It will be recollected, that the Indians at this period, were worked upon and tampered with, by many different parties. There were agents among them from the Kentucky association, procuring the interest of those in favour of Spain. General Bowles was active among the Creeks and Cherokees, as likewise were the partisans of Governor Blount, for the purpose of exciting them to commence hostilities against the subjects of Spain in the Floridas, and Louisiana. The emmissaries of Genet were equally busy, but with contrary views. The several interests of these parties in Congress, sufficiently explain the lengthy discussion which took place in the session of 1797, on the motion of Mr. Harper, for an address to the communications of the President. Several days were taken up in wording the following paragraph: "The United States have been faithful in the performance of their obligations to Spain, and had reason to expect a compliance equally prompt on the part of that power. We still, however, indulge the hope, that the convincing answers which have been given to the objections stated by the Spanish officers, to the immediate execution of the treaty, will have their proper effect, and that this treaty, so mutually beneficial to the contracting parties, will be finally observed with good faith. We therefore entirely approve of your determination to continue in readiness to secure the posts, and to run the line of partition between our territory and that of the King of Spain. Attempts to alienate the affections of the Indians, to form them into actual hostility against the United States, whether made by foreign agents or by others, are so injurious to our interests at large, and so inhuman with respect to our citizens inhabiting the adjacent territory, as to deserve the most exemplary punishment, and we will cheerfully afford our aid in framing a law, which may prescribe a punishment adequate to the commission of crimes so heinous."
ON the motion of the complainant, his counsel— it appearing to the satisfaction of the court, that the defendant, John Robinson, is not an inhabitant of this commonwealth— It is ordered, that the said defendant do appear here on the third day of our next September term, and answer the complainant's bill, or that the same will be taken for confessed; and that a copy of this order be published in some authorised paper according to law.

LEXINGTON, JULY 12. Yesterday's Mail having furnished us with no Eastern papers, we have in this Gazette, given a continuation of the "Conspiracy," from the "Western World."
COMMUNICATIONS. DIED, on the 10th inst. Joseph Walker, of Scott county, aged 84 years.—Early in life he became a member of the Presbyterian Church, in which he adorned the Christian profession to the last. His illness was painful and lingering, but borne with most exemplary resignation. In his last moments he sung, with those who surrounded his bed, the following lines: "Jesus to thy dear faithful hand, My naked soul I trust; And my flesh waits for thy command, To drop into my dust." He then said "it is enough,"—turned himself on his side, and fell asleep.
John Wood says, that he is equally opposed to all factions, whether they be Federal or Burrite. If he had said, that he was equally ready to support or oppose any faction, he would doubtless be believed. His own conduct would furnish ample testimony in support of the assertion. After Wood had written in opposition to the Federal party, in his "History of the Administration of John Adams," he wrote with the same zeal in defence of it, when he became Editor of the Federal paper in Richmond, Virginia—determined, doubtless, to sell himself to a party, which would accept the service of all parties—after the Republicans had ceased to notice him.
In the hope of participating in the favours which the Federal party seemed willing to shower on rogues, by their recent patronage of Callander—Wood, doubtless became a convert also.
John Wood seems always to have something to do with conspiracies—He is either a participator, or narrator of them—With one he arose in the East—with another he seems likely to set in the West.
Mr. Bradford, I OBSERVE in your paper of Tuesday last, an extract of a letter from New-Orleans, dated June 13, 1806, stating that the yellow fever has made its appearance there, and that from 8 to 10 die of it, daily. You will please inform your readers in your next number, that the writer of that letter was governed by no principle of truth or justice, but was influenced by a most malignant spirit. Letters have been received in this place by the last mail from New Orleans, as late as the 19th June, which are entirely silent as to the health of the city, and certainly had the yellow fever made its appearance, it would have been mentioned. But letters from Dr. S. Brown, (formerly of this place) of the same date, mentions that the city was uncommonly healthy, and that no complaint whatever prevailed, except yellow fever.—What can induce persons who go to that place to misrepresent the health &c. of the city, and commit their own veracity, I cannot imagine—but certain it is, that no city in America is so traduced—and it is equally a fact, that generally, no town on the continent enjoys better health. To do justice to New-Orleans, I request that you will not again announce the yellow fever to be there, until you find the fact stated in the papers of that city. Yours, &c. A Citizen of New-Orleans.

TO SOAR ALOFT ON FANCY'S WING. FOR THE KENTUCKY GAZETTE. MR. BRADFORD. The following effusion is the first effort of the muse of a gentleman of your acquaintance, and whose name is distinguished in Kentucky as an author. Considering the circumstances under which it was written, and it being a first effort, I flatter myself it will be well received by the lovers of poetry. It is at your service for the Gazette. PHILO.
A REFLECTION. By Allan B. Macruder Esq. Scenes of my youth! ye once were dear, When dear old Delia smiled upon my pain; But now no more those scenes appear, Alike ye scenes, no more to see ye gain. Dear were those scenes, where on I've strayed, Conducted by the steps of sacred love, Beneath the cooling woodland shade, Where Love and Innocence delight to rove. Scenes of my youth! ye once were dear; When fond, I pressed thee, Delia, to my soul; When mutual Love distain'd to fear, And bliss ecstatic o'er the senses stole. Ah me! in life's gay blushing morn, I deem'd the Fates were kind; I saw each rose without a thorn, Bloom to the vernal wind. Gone are those happy days of youth, No more they will return; The summer breeze cease to soothe, And I am doom'd to mourn. Now wintry clouds obscure the sky, The blasts howl dismal round, Sad desolation heaves a sigh, And sickens at the sound. The man of sorrows points to yonder sky, Forgets the changing world, and seeks to die. "TRIFLES LIGHT AS AIR"

BLUE DYING TO PERFECTION.

TOBACCO MANUFACTORY. JACOB LAUDEMAN, INFORMS his friends, and the public in general, that he has removed from Lexington, about three miles, on Henry's mill road, where he will carry on as usual. He will also keep a constant supply at Mr. Joseph Hudson's store, in Lexington, by wholesale and retail, opposite the court house, which will be sold on the lowest terms for cash; he will give from three to nine months credit, on giving bond with approved security. Persons applying may be furnished with the different kinds of Snuff, Rappé and Scotch, all kinds of Chewing and Smoking Tobacco, and Segars, all of which I will warrant equal, as to quality, to any manufactured in the state.
THE way to keep the money circulating in this state, is to encourage home manufactures. The rapid importation of many articles that the citizens of this state can make equal in quality and more durable in wear, has of late become a very serious evil to the inhabitants of this western country. In the single article of Ladies' Shoes, it is estimated that not less than 20,000 dollars worth is annually imported into Lexington. The subscriber wishing to lessen the inconvenience, has commenced manufacturing Ladies' Slippers at the very reduced price of six shillings and nine pence per pair. The quality of his work, and the unusual low price, he is persuaded will secure him the patronage of a discerning public. Those merchants who have expressed a patriotic desire to encourage domestic manufactures, may now have an opportunity of sending their orders to Hugh Crawford, On Main street corner of Main Cross street. An allowance will be made to those who buy to sell again, and credit given if required, by giving approved endorsed notes, payable at the insurance office. * * * Journeymen and apprentices are wanted.
ABRAHAM S. DRAKE, TAYLOR, TAKES this method to inform the citizens of Lexington, and the public in general, that he has commenced business in the shop lately occupied by Mr. Holmes, Taylor, on Main street, nearly opposite Benjamin Stout, saddler, where he intends carrying on the above business in all its various branches, and hopes from his knowledge of the business, with the strictest attention, and desire to please, to meet a share of public patronage. Ladies and Gentlemen who will please to favor him with their custom, may depend on having their work done on the shortest notice, and in the most fashionable manner, and with neatness and dispatch. One or two boys are wanted to the above business. Such country produce and store goods as may suit, will be taken. 3c
REMOVAL. LAWSON M C ULLOUGH, TAILOR, HAS removed his Shop from High-street, to a new framed house on Main and Mill-street, adjoining Mr. Lewis Sanders, and nearly opposite Mr. Joseph Gray's Store. Those Gentlemen who may please to favor him with their custom, may depend on having their work done with dispatch and punctuality, and in the newest and newest fashion—He has for the accommodation of his friends and customers, (and a little for himself) laid in a general assortment of the most suitable trimmings for cloaths, and a few pieces of genuine Constitution cord and Indian Nankeens, all of which will be sold on the most reasonable terms. Be so kind Gentlemen as to call in and judge for yourselves. I am the public's humble servt. Lawson M C ullough
FOR SALE, 18,000 Acres of Land, ON the left hand side of the three forks as you go up the Kentucky, and at their junction. This land runs along the river three miles, and nine miles back. The bottoms are rich land; the ridges are capable of producing wheat, and other small grain. The pasturage is excellent for raising flock of all kinds, as it has a plenty of cane brakes and peavines. All along the river is the sugar tree, wild cherry, and other woods common to this country. When you go back some distance, is the pine; which produces tar, turpentine, pitch and rosin; which will finally be valuable, independent of the wood that is upon the land. There is also a rock close to low water mark, that when the water is very low, shews clear salt upon its surface; and the rock itself tastes salt. There has been three water-witches [as they call them] trying the experiment, and say, there is four feet square of very salt water at the top of the bank, which is not an hundred feet from the water, and close to it a very easy ascending hill for several miles; and also the wood along the river. A coal bank within 300 yards. There is also 5 valuable coal banks which are near the river, with easy access to them. A coal yard and boat yard; and it is said, several salt-petre caves. The bottoms and along the creeks would produce good cotton and hemp. Lexington alone, independent of the country blacksmiths, consumes thirteen hundred bushels per annum. we will suppose Frankfort five thousand, which sells at the landing at one shilling per bushel, and twenty shillings might be sold: this might be made productive by a man of small capital. Independent of these advantages, the mouth of the three forks is the best fishing place in the state. In a small crib they can get five hundred pounds of fish in a day, and may get by a feint, five or seven hundred barrels per annum. Tobacco, flour, beef, pork, tallow, hogs' lard, hemp, cordage, whiskey or cast iron will be taken in payment. Part credit will be given. If the whole cannot be sold, a half will be sold, or a third. A clear and indisputable deed will be given. For terms apply to Mr. Wm. Leavy, Lexington, or at this office. Lexington, May 16, 1806. N. B. There are a number of acres of clear bottom land, and several log houses upon the above lands.

THE SUBSCRIBER Makes & sells woman's good lined and bound slippers at 69 a pair by retail. The quality of his work and the unusual low price, will (he conceives) secure him the encouragement of a discerning public, who have annually exported from this place from 20 to 25,000 dollars a year for the article of women's shoes; by their affording him encouragement in this partial experiment, they will soon induce other shoemakers to follow the example, and thereby stop the importation and save the money amongst ourselves.

NOTICE. ALL persons are hereby forewarned from taking an assignment of a BOND, executed by me, as security for John Clarke, late merchant of this country, so Henry Caldwell, now a resident of Kentucky. The bond, according to my best recollection, is dated June 1790 or 1791, payable on the 25th of December following, and is for a sum somewhat exceeding one hundred and seventy pounds, Virginia currency.
