5 The Kentucky Hotel. THE Subscriber has leased of Mr. Henry Clay, for a term of years, that valuable stand for a Tavern, in the town of Lexington, formerly known by the name of Travellers' Hall, where he has opened a Hotel under the above style. The situation of this property, on the public square, directly opposite the North East front of the court house, and in the centre of business, gives it peculiar advantages. Great expense has been incurred in repairs and improvements, and in point of space, convenience and comfort the apartments of the house are surpassed by none. A new stable has been erected on the back part of the lot which he ventures to pronounce is the best in the state, which will be under the immediate superintendence of Mr. William T. Banton. He has provided himself with good servants, a plentiful stock of the best liquors, and in short with every necessary calculated to accommodate and render agreeable the time of those who may favor him with their custom, and he trusts that from the attention which he means personally to give to every department of his business, he will be found to merit that patronage which he thus presumes to solicit from the public.

MR. GILES'S SECOND SPEECH; OR TIMOTHY ROASTED.
[Not having room for the whole of this production, we are forced to content ourselves with the publication of the following extracts from the Baltimore Whig.] It can be of little consequence to ascertain whether the adoption of the embargo was a lucky hit or a dictate of wisdom; and I should not have taken the trouble of this examination, if the gentleman from Massachusetts, (Mr. Pickering) had not availed himself of this occasion, to assail the reputation of his late colleague (Mr. Adams); a gentleman who represented the state of Massachusetts with so much honor to himself, and advantage to the state, and the nation; upon a point too, in which the gentleman here present, has put himself so clearly in the wrong from his own showing. I had hoped, Mr. President, that the gentleman would have so far restrained his feelings, as to have permitted this gentleman's retirement to have shielded him from these unmerited reproaches; but it now seems that no delicacy of situation can procure an exemption from the inveteracy of the gentleman's passions. This cruel attack has imposed upon me an indispensable obligation to defend this absent gentleman; and it has principally this circumstance, which has driven me again most reluctantly into this debate. Sir, I can attest, and now do attest with great pleasure, the disinterestedness and purity of the motives which dictated that gentleman's (Mr. Adams) late political conduct. As to its wisdom, that is matter of opinion, and now in a course of experiment; but as to its exemption from all views of personal promotion, or aggrandizement. I here assert that fact, upon my own responsibility, as far as can be warranted by the most explicit and unequivocal assurances from the gentleman himself; given too under circumstances which render their sincerity unquestionable. It gives me great pleasure to defend this absent gentleman, not only on account of his innocence of these reproaches, but on account of his merits his virtues and his talents, which, in my judgment, place him on so high a ground, as not to induce a wish on his part, to shrink from any comparison with either of the five worthies from Massachusetts, of whom we have been informed by the gentleman (Mr. Pickering.)
Permit me now fir, to proceed with the discussion. The gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Pickering) proceeds to tell us, that Mr. Rose was lent here as a messenger of peace; that he bro't the olive branch in his hand, but that it was designedly refused by the administration, and of course a subject of serious reproach and lamentation. Sir, I do not know what Mr. Rose brought in his hand; he never would tell the government what he brought, But let me ask the gentleman, what he left behind him? The gentleman has furnished me with an opposite figure. He left behind him a rod these very orders in council, which were designedly concealed from him, although they had been long deliberated upon & were matured before he left London; & were actually issued almost as soon as he had lost sight of land. If, therefore, he brought in his hand the olive branch, he certainly left concealed behind him the scourge of our commerce. Yes, fir, it was the bosom which was intended to sweep, and would have swept our commerce from the face of the ocean. And the gentleman tells us in a tone of lamentation, that when Mr. Rose arrived here he was met by the embargo. Yes, fir, the judicious vigilance of our government had saved our commerce from the destructive influence of these concealed orders of council. Could you have stopped, Mr. President, that this would have been a subject of lamentation to any American citizen? Could you have supposed, fir, that it could have been made the subject of reproach against the administration? Could you have supposed fir, that the most jaundiced passions could have deluded any American citizen so far, as to commit himself upon such a charge? Sir, we differ so much in our facts, that it would be more wonderful we should agree, than differ, in our conclusions. Is there a gentleman here, fir, prepared to say, that this is not a correct statement of facts? Why, simply, that Great Britain had, in the most injudicious orders for the entire destruction of our commerce; and that our government had completely disappointed their iniquitous object, by interposing the embargo for its protection.
But, fir, the gentleman, not content with the profusion of his invectives against the administration collectively, and the absent gentleman, whom I have defended with great pleasure, has directed his bitter resentments against the secretary of state individually. He, fir, has ventured to accuse the secretary of infidelity in his diplomatic correspondence. Permit me to tell that gentleman that the secretary of state is incapable of an act of infidelity, either as a man or a politician. The gentleman himself, fir, has been secretary of state; and even in the plenitude of his passions, it is wonderful to me he did not see, that he was forcing himself into a most disadvantageous comparison. I think the instances of infidelity he has quoted partake nothing of that character. I think them perfectly proper, the gentleman's angry criticisms to the contrary notwithstanding. Let us attend particularly to the instances quoted. The first is, that the secretary had told the British minister, that the Berlin decree so far as it professed to place all the British Isles in a state of blockade, was an empty menace.—Now let me ask the gentleman if that was not, and is not, the fact? I believe that no gentleman is more strongly impressed with the truth of this fact, nor rejoices more in its truth, than the gentleman himself. But the gentleman insists, if this decree was a mere empty menace, as it respects the blockade of the whole British Isles, it could not furnish any inducement to the measure of the embargo. I differ entirely with the gentleman in his inference. The Berlin decree, after it was put into a state of execution against the United States, would operate very differently upon the defenceless American commerce spread along the French coast, from its operation as forming the blockade of the British Isles; and therefore would be, as it in fact was, an empty menace in that case; whilst it would have a most serious effect in the other; and would certainly furnish a just inducement to the government for the protection of the exposed commerce of the United States. Here then, fir, I see a perfect correct sentiment without any mark of infidelity upon it.
But, fir, the gentleman has brought in to view another act of infidelity. Let that be also examined. The gentleman complains, that our ministers in London were instructed to tell the British minister only of the precautionary object of the embargo laws; and of course leave their coercive object to be inferred by the British minister. This was both polite and proper. It was an instruction to our minister in fact, to avoid touching the sensibility of the British minister and nation. What would the gentleman have done himself, fir? Would he, because there were two objects in passing the law, have instructed our ministers to have pressed both upon the British commissioners, although one of them would have touched their national pride, and sensibility? This was unnecessary, and would not have been very unpolitic. It would have been an outrage upon every principle of diplomatic delicacy. I cannot therefore see the ground of objection to this instruction.

unless it is, that the secretary of state has not taken the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Pickering) for his model; that he had not resorted to some of the gentleman's bold metaphorical flourishes; that he did not instruct our ministers to tell the British, "that the tiger crouches before he leaps upon his prey." Yes sir, I am extremely happy to behold the striking contrast exhibited between the former and present secretary of state; a contrast so highly honorable to the present secretary. Indeed, sir, I am the more astonished at the gentleman's driving us into this comparison, so unfortunate to himself, when he must know, or certainly ought to know, that his own inveterate passions utterly incapacitated him from the discharge of the duties of that office, and finally expelled him from it. The gentleman seems to be still harping upon the miserable tale of French influence. I suppose he also unfortunately stands committed upon that idle suggestion. Sir, insinuations of this nature are degrading to the national character; and I always feel a condescension in being compelled to make a reply. Indeed, sir, it is necessary to impose strong restraints upon the feelings in making the reply the suggestion deserves.
But, sir, the gentleman, is so intent I suppose, upon his own self justification, that he has manifested great labour and ingenuity in making a collection of scraps from the numerous documents before us; from which he has attempted to infer, not only that the executive department was acting under French influence, but that this honorable body was also acting under the same influence—yes, sir, the body of which the gentleman himself is a member. Yet, sir, the gentleman knows, notwithstanding his jealousies, his surmises, and his inferences, that it is impossible; that the fact is not so. Let me ask that gentleman, if he is prepared to say in his place, that any one member of this body, or that this body itself is acting under French influence, or any improper influence? The gentleman must have too much respect for himself to make such an unfounded assertion. Why then, sir, all this labor at surmise, suspicion, and inference? I leave the gentleman to answer this question. Equally unfounded are the miserable intimations towards the executive.
Let me ask the gentleman, through whom channel his unhappy, suspicious mind has taught him to suppose, that these dark, these invisible negotiations could be carried on? I suppose he would necessarily reply through Mr. Armstrong, our Minister at Paris. Yet Mr. Armstrong has lately retrieved himself entirely from the gentleman's delusive suspicions. We are now told Mr. Armstrong is a patriot;—follow his advice. Again, sir, let me ask the gentleman, if he has heard any apology for the hostile conduct of France, either in this house or any where else? Has not every person declared, that the conduct was hostile itself? Mr. President, whether the gentleman intended to make insinuations or inferences or surmises, or suspicions, or assertions, if he pleases, of French influence, is operating either upon the executive, or upon this body, I here in my place do pronounce the whole to be utterly unfounded. But, sir, the gentleman boldly says, there is something concealed. I really should like to know what it is that he supposes can be concealed? I should really like to know what witchcraft it is that has continually tortured the gentleman's mind with these unhappy, fantastic delusions. No, sir, there is nothing concealed: there is too much exposed; for, sir, in the present whirlpool of inordinate passions, all honorable confidence seems to be disrespected. I will not accuse this gentleman of acting under British influence: (See note at the end.) I feel too much respect for the American character to do so. I hope and trust he is not. I am willing to admit that his views are American. But, sir, this consideration will not deter me from expressing my wonder and astonishment at the extraordinary views that the gentleman takes of American ministers; first, in the unremitting labor he has taken to put his own government in the wrong upon every point of discussion between it and the British government; and in his strange misrepresentation or total disregard of facts; of outrages, sir, upon our dearest rights, by the British government; outrages which ought to rouse every American feeling into action. Secondly, in the comparative view he has taken of the hostile acts of France and Great Britain. Sir, he has used every effort to magnify, if possible, French aggressions; whilst he has faintly admitted British aggressions, and even palliated or excused them. Let us now see, sir, what is the true character of aggressions which are treated with so much tenderness? Sir, I said the other day, and I have not heard it contradicted, and I say again to day, that the British government seizes and confiscates our vessels engaged in a lawful trade: that she has attempted, by an act of parliament, to colonize and tax us: that she has, in the same manner, undertaken to exercise acts of national sovereignty solemnly given by the people to congress: that she has undertaken to exercise an act of legislation over the people of the United States refused to congress, and retained to themselves in their highest sovereign capacity. Are these facts denied? No, sir; if true let me ask the gentleman, what can be worse? what can be more injurious to our interests, or derogatory to our national character? What can the French do that is worse than this? Nothing, sir; these acts form the climax of outrages. But, sir, the gentleman tells us, that the French emperor has said, there shall be no neutrals. I do not know whether he has
used that identical expression or not. I believe it is not the expression in the paper to which the gentleman alludes.—But, sir, suppose it is; what then? Is the gentleman so ready to obey the mandate of the French emperor, as to take part in the war, because he orders him to do so? I did not think the gentleman would take the yoke so quietly. In effect, both Great Britain and France have said, there shall be no neutrals; and I care nothing for the form of expression. The first declaration to that effect, which I have seen, is contained in the polite note of lords Holland and Auckland, attached to the late unratified treaty. The language in effect is, if you do not make war on France, we will reserve to ourselves the right to make war on you, according to this treaty of amity and commerce. But, sir, because these 2 great belligerents command us to take part in their wars are we bound to obey their cruel mandates? Are we to abandon the right of judging of our own interests and policy? I am disposed to think they will ultimately drive us into their wars; but let us keep out of them as long as we think our interests and policy require the recession.
The gentleman from Connecticut [Mr. Hillhouse] has attempted to place our situation in a ludicrous point of view; he asks how are we to fight at triangles? Are we to fight France and Great Britain at the same time? Why, sir, this is the very circumstance which increases our embarrassments. It is a situation perfectly novel and unexampled; and distinguishes it from all the cases put by the gentleman as analogous to it. At every other time we have but one adversary; if we had but one at this time, there would be no difficulty in the choice of measures; but having two at the same time, and both so formidable, presents an unexampled difficulty in the choice of measures; and is the strongest argument imaginable in favour of the position we have assumed. This, sir, is made more evident by the gentleman's illustration. The gentleman says, if two men were to attack him at the same time, would he not avoid the combat until he could get one by himself? I presume he would, if he were a man of prudence; especially if either of them were a full match for him; and he knew the moment he set on one, the other would set on him, and tear him to pieces—I think under such circumstances, a dignified retirement would be at least as honorable as being tumbled in the dust; and would be more the dictate of prudence and wisdom. It therefore appears to me, that the gentleman's illustration is an extremely happy one, to justify the position assumed by the United States, under the peculiarity of their difficulties.
The gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Lloyd) I presume with a view of shewing, that our supply of provisions can be of little consequence to Great Britain, has favored us with a statement of her annual consumption of grain, and our annual exports. The annual consumption of Great Britain he states at one hundred and fifty millions of bushels, and our whole exports seven millions. I am willing to take this estimate, although our exports are probably much more. From this statement, the gentleman seems to infer, that this small supply can be of but little consequence in a market requiring this enormous consumption. I drew a very different inference from these data given by the gentleman: and I am the more disposed to examine this, as I have often heard the same inferences drawn by others. According to this statement, if Great Britain should raise barley enough for her own consumption, except seven millions of bushels, and it is probable she will not exceed this product the present year, she would want a supply for her whole population for above a fortnight in the year. This would be a curious deficiency: and to appreciate argument, the gentleman should first make the experiment of starving a fortnight; and I think, before the expiration of that time, he would be willing to admit there was some force at least in my argument. It would be the same case with the nation, if the scarcity operated equally and upon every individual in the nation, at the same time. But that is not the way in which a scarcity does operate. It operates by raising the prices of grain, and thus excluding those from the use of it who have no money to buy. In the event of a scarcity in Great Britain, Mr. Canning would probably not have a dish left to his table on that account; whilst the poor would suffer for the want of bread. As the scarcity increased, the greater would be the numbers excluded from the use of bread; and the stock in the nation would be exclusively consumed by those who had the means of purchasing a proportion of it. This would be the cause of things as long as the order of society could be maintained, and the suffering poor compelled to bear their hard fate. But, sir, if this quantity of provisions should be wanted in Great Britain this year, it cannot be obtained any where, but from the United States; and if the want of it should drive the prices very high, and bear of course with great severity upon the suffering poor; would not these circumstances alone furnish strong inducements to Great Britain to relax her orders, and to do us justice? To do us justice, did I say, for no, sir, to do us half justice: we do not require more than half justice at her hands. If the suffering poor could be apprized that the deficit of provisions, could be made up by opening an intercourse with the United States, and that this depended upon the pleasure of the British cabinet,
would these not be strong representations to them, to relieve the suffering poor, when nothing but an act of half justice, would be necessary to effect the object? Under such a state of things, the cabinet could not withstand the representations of the people. May we not hope then, sir, if this should be the state of things in Great Britain during the present year, that these appeals to her interest will not be unavailing? But, sir, I am ready to admit, that I derive the less consolation from this hope, from the apprehension that if even a relaxation of those orders should take place in consequence of any coerced state of things in Great Britain, the relaxation would be but temporary; and the moment the pressure ceased, the hostile measures would be resumed. Since Great Britain has become intoxicated with this extraordinary project of recolonization , I verily believe, we shall again have to fight her out of it; I am inclined to think, that now is as good a time for the contest, as we can expect in any other time.
[The following extract also from the Notes at the end of the pamphlet has in itself a weight of truth, which cannot make but a deep impression upon every honest republican. Let us survey the daring efforts of the British faction here, and say whether it be not undeniably true! Yes! it is worth a volume.]
NOTE. French influence. —What are the means of French influence in this country? None: the idea is absurd. British influence. —What are the means of British influence in this country? The following amongst others: Language, jurisprudence, law books, literature; tories , and the descendants of tory families ; blood connexions, intermarriages; mercantile partnerships, newspapers, &c. &c. &c. These influences are interwoven into society, and if we mean to preserve our independence, demand the most watchful vigilance of the politician.
The following letter has been communicated to us for publication: (COPY.)
DEAR SIR, I have received your letter of the 14th inst. wherein you were pleased to inform me of the determination of the President of the United States, relative to the restitution of the deserter forcibly arrested in this his Catholic Majesty's territory; which satisfactory decision, and the further steps that have been taken, are characteristic of the justice and uprightness of your government. Lieutenant Louis Alexis, commander of gun-boat No. 13, did on the 27th inst. deliver at the plantation of Saullier Guerehy, the deserter Armstrong, in the same manner as you were pleased to announce to me in your letter aforesaid.—And as to what regards the information requested by the hon. Secretary of the Navy, of all the circumstances attending the conduct of Mr. Owings, I must tell you, that the act of violence committed by him has been circumstantially related in my first letter of complaint to his excellency governor Claiborne, under date of the 3d August last, and having obtained from the President of the United States, the founded and full satisfaction which I expected from that government, there remains nothing from me to renew on this head. With assurances of the high consideration with which I have the honor to be, sir Your very obt. servant, (Signed) CARLOS DE GRAND PRE. Baton-Rouge, Nov. 28 1808. To Commodore David Porter, (New-Orleans Gazette.)
AMERICAN MANUFACTURES. Never was there so fine an opportunity of establishing them as now—particularly those of cotton. This article is so scarce in England, that the manufacturers are thrown out of employ; and such as they have is so very high, that the English cannot come into market with the manufactured article as advantageously as the Americans can. This is a "golden opportunity," which, I pray may be improved by the industrious enterprise of our citizens and the patriotic guardianship of Congress. But in great undertakings we cannot avoid taking a prospect of the future. Suppose a peace settled between England and America,—without "protecting duties" being laid on the importation of foreign goods,—what will be the inevitable consequence?—The old proverb will be fulfilled. "Too much oil choaks the lamp." American manufacturers, who have inserted all their money in machinery, materials, &c. will be ruined and overwhelmed by the inundation of British goods. The patriotic adventurer will be sacrificed for his pains. I am not excessively sanguine on the subject; but I know that the Eastern population is such that the raw material grown in the Southern sections of the union could be wrought up to the great mutual interest of both. Looking prospectively then on the real interests of America, I am impressed with the necessity of petitioning congress immediately to lay permanent and heavy duties on such imported cotton and woollen fabrics as we can manufacture here. All the manufactures in the union ought to co-operate in this desirable work. I crave protection only to a rational extent . I know that to attempt to force manufactures in thinly peopled spots is like forcing exotics to grow in a hot-house. But many parts of this union are capable of woolen manufactures, and cotton can be spun, woven and dressed in all: in the encouragement of these essential and necessary
stuff, let us all unite most cordially. If we avail ourselves of this lucky conjunction of things, we may render our country really independent: if we do not, we will be again "humbled in dust and ashes."
ANXIETY. BRITISH PACKETS. We request the attention of government to this subject, and we pray that they will interpose some bold and effectual means for the prevention, detention, and punishment of the abominable infractions of our laws which are continually practised by these smugglers in disguise . It is a fact of the greatest notoriety that not a single British packet leaves this harbor which does not convey hence immense quantities of specie , in direct contravention of an existing law of the United States. Pub. Adv.
WINCHESTER (Va.) JAN. 7. A letter has been received by a gentleman in this place from a member of Congress, stating that a report was prevalent at Washington, that the British minister Mr. Erskine, has made a formal demand on the part of his government of the free navigation of the Mississippi, under the treaty of 1783.—That such a demand has been made, there is every reason to believe.—We cannot account for the movements of the troops down the Mississippi, if serious apprehensions were not entertained by our government, that an attempt will ere long be made by the Spanish Junta, aided by the British, to recover the Louisiana Purchase, which it is understood the former declare to have been wrested from the late Spanish monarch per force by the French Emperor.
A rumour has been imported from the Havana, stating the capture of Joseph Bonaparte and his army by the military forces of the Spanish Junta. The report is completely contradicted by an arrival at New York from Havana. On the other hand we have information from Havana, via Charleston and Norfolk, that Bonaparte had entered Spain at the head of 160,000 men, and made himself completely master of the province of Biscay. Liverpool papers have been received to the 31st Oct. last inclusive, containing London dates to the 29th. Various news had been received and circulated in England from Spain, but nothing of a definitive character. Among other things, it is stated that the Spaniards had gained a victory over the French; that the town of Corunna had been illuminated three nights, but on what account was unknown; that the French had attempted to retreat from Bilboa, after plundering it, but that their retreat had been cut off, and that they had been compelled to return; that on hearing this circumstance, the Spanish general Blake put his whole army in motion, and in consequence information was speedily expected of the discomfiture of the French, &c. Monitor.
The sch. John Clayton, of this port, from La Guyra to Leghorn has been seized at the latter port, with her cargo, 200,000 wt. of coffee, and 100 seroons of indigo. She is reported to have cleared out from this with a permit, consequently her voyage to Leghorn, if the allegations be true, cannot be strictly correct. It is expected she will be condemned under the provisions of the Bayonne decree. Balt. Amer.
Four American vessels which arrived at St. Peterburg on the 14th of September, were denied admittance into port, and turned away for want of regular papers. Most probably they were English ships with forged papers of English manufacture.
FROM THE WHIG. A mercantile friend has put into our hands the London "Evening Star" of Oct. 31, containing many articles of interest, which we have not room to copy at present. The following summary embraces the most important intelligence. A cabinet council had been held on the dispatches of the Russian and French messengers at Erfurth, and a special messenger (Mr. Shaw) was sent to Calais with the answer of the British government. He was instructed to proceed to Erfurth, provided Bonaparte should be still there on his landing. A Dover letter mentions the favourable change with regard to the reception of the flags of truce in the French ports. They are now told, to run into French harbors in bad weather, without waiting for orders. General Dalrymple had embarked for England, to answer for his conduct in concluding the convention with Junot at Lisbon. Admiral Cotton and two other officers also proceeded home, as witnesses on the trial. The Duke of Clarence had received a high naval command, and was preparing to sail from Portsmouth with several regiments of general Slade's brigade, which were embarking for Spain. Two regiments of light dragoons, the 7th and 10th had failed from thence for Bilboa on the 30th Oct. The 15th light dragoons were embarking. Lord Paget, col. Elly, and other officers of distinction have gone out in the fleet of transports, or the frigates. The whole fleet amounts to 120 sail, with a strong convoy. This division is to form part of sir David Baird's army in Spain, which had landed at Corunna, and marched immediately to join the Spaniards, who seem to be pouring their strongest force into Catalonia. The Spaniards still boasted of success, and pressed their enemy on the Ebro closer and closer. General Cofstanes, whose head quarters are at Tudely, had beaten a French detachment, and had taken a magazine of corn. A supreme council of war was to be held at Aranjuez, where the principal Spanish generals were posting to settle their plan of military conduct; whilst the Supreme Junta of the nation were expected
to assemble at the Royal Palace of Guen Retrio, in Madrid, about the 20th.—The interior Junta of Granada had exerted themselves greatly in support of the Spanish cause; 16,000 troops cavalry and infantry had been equipped by that province and marched to head quarters. The English brig Sceptre, capt. Brown, had arrived at Cadiz, with 100,000 dollars in specie, and arms for the army at Catalonia. In her came passengers lord Leuvaine, col. Fitzgerald, two members of the British parliament, and two Spanish officers. Brigadier general Hamilton had received orders to purchase at Corunna 8000 horses for mounting cavalry, expected there.
An article under the Corunna head, of the 23d of October says, that general Blake was still at Bilboa, where his head quarters were. We find the French accounts differ from these.
Saturday a cabinet council was held at Lord Castlereagh's office. All the members in town assisted, and their sitting lasted from two until half past four o'clock.
We understand that sir Francis Burdett has expressed his resolution not to accompany the high bailiff on the delivery of the address from the electors of Westminster, with regard to the convention of Cintra.
SKETCH OF FRENCH NEWS. Paris, Oct. Private letters from Bayonne, state that general Blake [an Irishman in the Spanish service] had marched from Alturias to Bilboa with 8000 men; from which the French army retreated—while Marshall Bessieres marched forward to cut off the enemy's communication. Marshall Ney, supposing Blake's movement a feint to cover a greater design, prepared to attack general Castanos should he appear before the French lines. Blake entered Bilboa on the 20th of September, and on the twenty-sixth precipitately abandoned it, being alarmed at the movements of Marshall Ney and general Monton, the latter of whom had taken a circuit to attack him in flank. Ney then established his head quarters at Bilboa—Bessieres held his at Miranda; and Moncey, at Pampeluna. The insurgents were defeated by Bessieres, and Moncey had beaten those of Arragon, taking a great number of cannon.
Immense quantities of provisions of all sorts have been collected at Bayonne; and the magazines being filled the cathedral was filled with bags of biscuit, &c. The director of the fortifications has received orders to prepare 60,000 sand bags.
The Grand Army was expected to reach Spain by the 1st of November; as the advanced brigade was calculated to arrive at Bayonne on the 24th Oct. when both armies being powerfully reinforced, great carnage may be expected—unless a general peace of the European powers should prevent it.
LONDON, Nov. 2. Termination of the conferences at Erfurth—return of Bonaparte to Paris—Junot's arrival at Rochelle with the first division of his army—formidable preparations against Spain.
We received last night Dutch papers to the 26th ult. with Paris news to the 22d.—The conferences at Erfurth have terminated, and Bonaparte, accompanied by his ministers and generals, returned to Paris on the 20th, on which occasion, the guns were, as usual, fired. The emperor Alexander and the arch-duke Constantine, have also set out on their return to Petersburg, and the whole of the conferring parties have separated. Of the result of the conferences nothing certain is yet known—but in a few days we may find some development of the tyrant's new project. The answer of the British ministry to his delusive overture from Erfurth, has ere this reached Paris, and this will doubtless from a leading feature of the expose which is shortly to be issued by the crafty Corsican. His proposition to our court was, we understand, couched in his usual terms of affected sincerity; but whilst he made the specious profession that his claims upon Spain and Portugal would present no bar to a pacific negotiation, and that the wishes of the British government even with respect to Prussia would be consulted, he could not help displaying the cloven foot, and his real object of seeking a pretence to throw the odium of the continuance of the war upon this country, became so apparent as to be impossible to be mistaken.—While he affects a disposition to forbear of his designs against Spain, he marches the principal part of his army to effect the entire subjugation and slavery of that country, and obtains from all the sovereigns subject to his influence or control, the full recognition of the infamous usurpation of the Spanish crown; and the semblance of moderation and favour which he assumes towards Prussia, in consenting to the evacuation of her territories by his troops, proceeds not from his justice, but from the necessity he is under the employing those troops in the furtherance of his vile designs elsewhere. Fifteen thousand fresh troops are stated in the papers of the 21st, to have passed through Bayonne for Spain; and between the 20th and 30th, it is asserted, an army of not less than one hundred thousand men was to enter that country. The Duke of Dantzig (Marshall Lefebvre) is arrived, to command a principal part of the force to be employed against the brave Spaniards; another formidable effort is to be made to effect the reduction of Saragossa, and at the same time a numerous corps is to act against Navarre, and endeavour to penetrate into the heart of Spain in that direction. The utmost efforts of the enemy, we however trust, will prove of no avail against a gallant armed people, animated by the genuine spirit of patriotism, and resolved to establish the independence of their country, or glori-

only to perish in its defence. The generous aid of Great Britain now supplies every deficiency hitherto experienced by the patriotic legions and with such powerful co-operation, the common cause must proudly triumph.
Junot and the 5th division of the French troops from Portugal are arrived at Rochelle, where they wait the orders of Bonaparte.
The private letters from Holland are to the 27th. It appears by these that the decree recently issued, has not been carried into that rigid execution which was expected. On the contrary, all the ships laden and loading at the time the decree was promulgated, have been permitted to proceed on their voyages, in consequence of which, the articles, which are the produce of Holland, and which, at the close of the last week, had considerably advanced, have again fallen to nearly the prices they previously maintained.
Another mail from Corunna arrived yesterday, by which we received Madrid Gazettes to the 22d, and other Spanish Journals to a late date. The army, under the command of sir David Baird, was proceeding in small parties, with a view to the better accommodation of the men to the seat of war. General Blake continued to press upon the French—and a general attack was expected to be made on the 22d or 23d of last month, of the result of which the most sanguine expectations were entertained.
The Convention at Erfurt, &c. When Bonaparte was on his journey to Erfurt, he is said to have written to the Prince Primate a letter in which he says—“I am going to Germany, to give peace to Europe.”
At Erfurt the two emperors usually pass the greater part of the day together, and attend the theatre in the evening.—“Not a word (says the Paris papers) has hitherto transpired, respecting the real object of this assemblage of so many sovereigns.” The emperor of Austria had sent his minister baron Vincent to attend it. The Grand Seignior is probably startled at the expected deligns of the meeting, as he is augmenting his army by every means in his power.—A new levy of 100,000 men was also making by the emperor of Russia at the latest accounts. As much expectation has been excited by this meeting, we copy the following which is the only circumstantial account we have seen of it.
ERFURT, October 2. The grand duke Constantine was seized with an indisposition the day after his arrival.
The kings of Saxony and Westphalia have already arrived. To-morrow we expect the king of Wirttemberg, and on the 4th, the king of Bavaria; and if the reports in circulation are to be credited, we may also expect the king of Prussia.
The emperor Alexander has not, as was reported, set off for Welmur; nor will he proceed hither before the conclusion of the pending negotiation. It is rumoured that he will return home by way of Vienna. From Russia, we have here, besides the emperor and the grand duke Constantine, the minister of state, count Romanzow, the counsellor of state Servais, the grand marshal count Markolini, and both the counts Toltstoy, one of whom is the ambassador at the court of Paris.
His majesty the emperor Napoleon is accompanied by the princes of Neuchatel and Benevento, the grand master of the house (Caulincourt), the minister (Champagny,) and the secretary of state (Maret.) Among the principal French officers here, are marshals Lannes, Mortier, and Duroc, with a number of generals and field officers belonging to Martier's corps, the greater part of which is, at present, quartered in Bavaria. Of the German princes we have here prince William of Prussia, the duke of Saxe Gotha, the prince of Hamburg, the prince of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and the prince of Reniz and Rudolstadt.
Yesterday his majesty, the emperor Napoleon, gave a grand dinner, at which were present his majesty the emperor Alexander, the kings of Saxony and Westphalia, and the duke of Saxe-Gotha, the hereditary prince of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, prince William of Prussia, and the princes of Benevento and Neuchatel. The Austrian general Vincent arrived here in the evening of the 28th ult. Yesterday morning he had his first audience of the emperor Napoleon, and immediately he had audience of the emperor Alexander.
The two Monarchs daily met about 10 o'clock, and at the termination of their conference, their majesties, on horseback, or in the same coach, make an excursion among the neighbouring villages. The principal Ministers of both the Emperors have also daily conferences, and on the 30th ult. the Ministers for foreign Affairs, and the Secretaries of State of both Powers, were present at the interview of the two Emperors.
The Prince Primate is expected here by the 4th or 5th inst.
Though the departure of the Emperor of the French is not yet positively fixed for a particular day, we learn that the Postmasters on their road to Frankfort by Wurzburg, have had orders to have relays of horses ready about the 12th inst.

FRANKFORT, January 26.
On yesterday the Legislature proceeded by a joint vote of both houses to elect a treasurer and public printer to the commonwealth for the present year, when John P. Thomas, the present treasurer, was re-elected without opposition.
The candidates for the office of public printer, were Messrs. Worsley & Overton, Daniel & Charles Bradford and Gerard & Bledsoe. The latter were elected by a large majority.
A resolution for the removal of the seat of government from this place, was negatived to-day in the House of Representatives. Ayes 23—Nays 44.
STATE OF KENTUCKY.
GENERAL ORDERS.
JANUARY 24th, 1809.
The Muster-rolls and inspection returns of the detachment from the militia of this state not having been returned to the adjutant-general's office (except in a few instances) agreeably to the general orders of the 24th of November last, the commander in chief again calls upon the commanding officers of divisions and brigades to see that that part of the above recited general order to be strictly carried into execution. And as it appears from some returns made to the adjutant-general, that in some of the brigades the quotas ordered have not been formed into companies, the commander in chief positively orders that they shall be so formed; and that complete muster-rolls and inspection returns be, without delay, returned to the office of the adjutant-general.
The commander in chief regrets exceedingly that he should be under the necessity, at this moment, when the situation of our country is such as to require promptness and dispatch in the performance of duty by the militia officers, to remind them of a dereliction of that duty, and assures the officers of every grade that such neglects cannot be passed over with impunity.
The commander in chief is truly astonished that the above mentioned general orders should have been, in many instances, contravened by the commandants of regiments and others by not permitting the quotas of men required of their respective corps, to volunteer under the officers of their choice; and refusing to permit them to be enrolled and returned. And he expressly calls upon the generals of divisions and brigades to cause any officer who has been guilty of so gross a contempt of that order and violation of his duty, to be arrested therefor, and brought to trial before a court-martial.
The annual returns from some of the divisions not having yet come to hand, the commanding officers of such divisions are required to forward them to the adjutant-general's office as soon as possible.
P. BUTLER, Adj. Genl. The printers in this state are requested to give this order an insertion in their several papers.
The following Law for the relief of Green River settlers has been adopted by the legislature of Kentucky.
AN ACT, to amend an act, entitled “An act, to amend the act providing for the debt due this Commonwealth for the sale of Vacant Lands.”
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the general assembly, That the sales of land directed to be made by the register of the land office, under the act of assembly, passed 27th December, 1806, the time of which sales was suspended by an act of last session entitled an act to suspend the sale of lands for the debt due the state, until the first Monday in June next, that the sales of said land shall be and the same is hereby suspended until the first Monday in June 1810, and the auditor shall perform the duties required under the before recited act, against the first Monday of June, 1810.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, That the register shall on the first Monday, in June, 1810, proceed to make sale of the lands upon which any instalment and interest at that time may be due and unpaid, in the same way as he would have been bound to do on the first Monday in June next, had this act not taken effect.
Sec. 3. Be it further enacted, That the instalment which by the existing law would become due on the first Monday in June next, shall be payable on the first Monday in June, 1810, and each other instalment shall be payable annually on the first Monday in June in each year thereafter, till the whole is paid: provided however, legal interest shall be paid on the whole amount of the instalment at the time of paying each several instalment as heretofore.
Sec. 4. Be it further enacted, That every person indebted to this state for any land acquired under any law of this commonwealth, who shall pay into the public treasury within twelve months from the passage of this act, the whole amount of the state price on the balance remaining due, part being already paid for said land, shall be entitled to a discount of the interest due and to become due thereon.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That where any tract of head-right land shall have been struck off to the state, at either of the sales that the owner or owners of the said claim shall have the privilege of redeeming the said claim on or before the first Monday in June 1810, by paying into the public treasury the whole amount of principal due on the said claim, together with the costs of sale and redemption, and shall be entitled to a discount of the interest due or to become due thereon. This law shall commence and be in force from and after its passage.
For the purpose of preventing any misconstruction or misrepresentation that might arise out of the late affair of honor between Mr. Henry Clay and Mr. Humphrey Marshall, the following documents are submitted to the public.
January 4th, 1809.
H. MARSHALL Esq.—PRESENT.
“Sir—After the occurrences in the house of representatives on this day, the receipt of this note will excite with you no surprise. I hope on my part, I shall not be disappointed in the execution of the pledge you gave on that occasion, and in your disclaimer of the character attributed to you. To enable you to fulfil the reasonable and just expectations, my friend Major Campbell is authorized by me to adjust the ceremonies proper to be observed.”
“I am, fir, yours, &c.”
“HENRY CLAY.”
January 4, 1809.
H. CLAY, Esq.—Frankfort.
“Sir—Your note of this date was handed me by Maj. Campbell.—The object is understood; and without deigning to notice the insinuation it contains as to character, the necessary arrangements are, on my part, submitted to my friend Col. Moore.”
“Yours, &c.”
“H. MARSHALL.”
Rules to be observed by Mr. Clay & Mr. Marshall, on the ground, in settling the affair now pending between them:
1. Each gentleman will take his station at ten paces distant from the other, and will stand as may suit his choice, with his arms hanging down, and after the words Attention! Fire! being given, both may fire at their leisure.
2. A snap or flash shall be equivalent to a fire.
3. If one should fire before the other, he who fires first, shall stand in the position in which he was when he fired, except that he may let his arms fall down by his side.
4. A violation of the above rules by either of the parties, (accidents excepted,) shall subject the offender to instant death.
JOHN B. CAMPBELL. JAMES F. MOORE.
Conformably to previous arrangements, Mr. Clay and Mr. Marshall, attended by their friends, crossed the Ohio at Shippingport, and an eligible spot of ground presenting itself immediately below the mouth of Silver Creek; ten steps, the distance agreed on, was measured off, and each gentleman took his position. The word being given, both gentlemen fired. Mr. Marshall's fire did not take effect. Mr. Clay's succeeded so far as to give Mr. Marshall a light wound on the belly. Preparations were then made for a second fire. Mr. Marshall again fired without effect—Mr. Clay snapped, which agreeably to rules agreed on, was equivalent to a fire. A third preparation was made, when each gentleman stood at his station, waiting for the word. Mr. Marshall fired first, and gave Mr. Clay a flesh wound in the thigh—Mr. Clay fired without effect. Mr. Clay insisted on another fire, ardently; but his situation, resulting from the wound, placing him on unequal grounds, his unfortunate request was not complied with. We deem it justice to both the gentlemen, to pronounce their conduct on the occasion, cool, determined and brave in the highest degree. Mr. Clay's friend was under an impression, that Mr. Marshall at the third fire, violated a rule which required, that he who fired first, should stand in the position in which he was when he fired; but Mr. Marshall's friend being convinced that Mr. Clay had fired previous to Mr. Marshall's moving from his position; this circumstance is considered as one in which gentlemen may be mistaken on such occasions, and is not to be noticed in this affair.
JOHN B. CAMPBELL. JAMES F. MOORE. Thursday, January 19, 1809.
The National Intelligencer, speaking of Governor McKean's late valedictory speech, says—
A more finished performance has rarely
been offered to the public. We know nothing of its local allusions; but on national topics it is animated in every line, with the fire of '76.
“And should we, after all, be compelled to surrender the blessing and the hope of peace, we have certainly the consolation to see it demonstrated to the world, that neither the guilt of aggression nor the folly of ambition, can be fairly imputed to the measures of our government. Impartial, respectful and conciliatory towards other nations, the federal administration, with becoming firmness and dignity, has sought in return atonement for acknowledged injuries, and security for unquestionable rights.”
After defending the policy of the embargo, he adds—
“Upon a full view of the national situation, its present inconveniences and its probable consequences, the patriotic disposition which has been manifested by our immediate constituents, is entitled to universal respect and applause; if it is true, that symptoms of dissatisfaction to the union, of opposition to the laws and of animosity to the chosen rulers of the people, have elsewhere appeared, Pennsylvania, we know, directing her energies to other objects, has borne the suspension of her commerce without a murmur or complaint. Neither the restraints of the embargo, nor the feuds of party, nor the acrimonies of private interests, nor the measures of war, have impaired, in feeling or in action, her obedience to the constitution and laws; her pride of character or her plighted faith to the government of the union. An example so honorable and so conspicuous, cannot fail to be beneficial. Extending beyond the limits of Pennsylvania, it will animate and confirm the virtue of her sister states. And, for my own part, I feel the highest gratification, that among the latest acts of protracted public life, after a lapse of more than thirty years, and in seasons of extreme difficulty and danger, I can again unite with my countrymen in “the mutual pledge of our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honour,” to support the declaration—“that these United States are, and of right ought to be, free and independent.”

Notice. ABOUT three years' anxious pursuit and meditation, I have at length made a complete discovery of the Perpetual Motion in Theory, and have reduced it to practice. I will only observe that it moves by its own weight; that is to say, the more you load a waggon, the more the power is increased so as to move the waggon and its burthen. I expect to write a short treatise on the subject, which will more fully explain this most grand and important discovery. I am anxious that it should be put in practice as soon as possible, so that the public may receive the benefits resulting from this noble principle, so long wished for by them.
