The Kentucky Spanish Association, Blount's Conspiracy, and General Miranda's Expedition.
IN the history of conspiracy and secret combination, of those which have affected the United States, there are none of so extraordinary a nature, as the three above mentioned. 1st. The Kentucky Spanish Association was formed about 1785 or 1786, continued until 1790; but how much longer, is uncertain. Its general supposed object, was the separation of Kentucky and the Western Territory from the United States, to add them to the Spanish monarchy. 2nd. The Conspiracy of Governor Blount, was a plan projected in 1796, in conjunction with the British government, to invade the Spanish territories from Canada, aided by men enlisted within the United States, and by the Indians. 3d. The scheme of General Miranda, whatever it may be, is, before this time, either partly executed or defeated. The only authentic documents which have been published respecting it, are, a letter from Stephen Sayre, which appeared in the Richmond (Virginia,) Enquirer, some months since, and the memorials lately published, of Samuel G. Ogden, and William S. Smith of New-York, to Congress.
Every circumstance which is clothed with the veil of mystery, naturally excites a greater degree of curiosity, than incidents of more magnitude, when open to the public eye. It therefore not unfrequently happens, that events of the former description are scrutinized more deeply, and in general, terminate with more publicity to all concerned, than if the mark of secrecy had never been used. But the Kentucky Spanish Association forms an exception to this remark. Twenty years have elapsed since the formation of this plan, which originated in the woods of Kentucky, to place the Western territories under the dominion of Spain; and although a majority of the respectable inhabitants then residing in the State, are said to have combined for that purpose, yet their scheme was conducted with such secrecy and fidelity, that the particulars are at present, only known to a very few individuals, with the exception of the parties immediately concerned. It would for us, have ever remained buried in oblivion, were we convinced that all the agents of it had entirely abandoned their idea of effecting a division of the United States, to the interest of some foreign power. But believing from various circumstances, that although the first plan has been long since dismissed, another scheme is in agitation; we deem it our duty to lay before the public such general facts as have come within our knowledge, and which we are authorised to say, may be substantiated in a court of justice. The Conspiracy of Blount, and the late Expedition of Miranda, in our opinion, may be traced to the same source, and are only similar speculations planned to a different direction. When we say, they originated from the same source, we do not mean however, to insinuate, that the members of the first association had a part in the two latter. On the contrary, we believe, that very few of them, if any, had a knowledge either of Blount's Conspiracy, or of General Miranda; but that the projectors of the first scheme, led others connected with them, to the adoption of the two latter.
The idea of a set of men conspiring together, with the intention of transferring a portion of that country of which they are citizens, to a foreign power, always carries with it such an appearance of the grossest treason, that it is with extreme difficulty, any palliation for the offence can be suffered. Yet, if ever the attempt were pardonable, it was pardonable with several of the members of the Kentucky Association. From the public as well as private character of many of those concerned, who are personally known to us, we are confident, that only the most extreme necessity compelled them to take a part in the treasonable scheme.
It is extremely easy for those to prattle about liberty, independence, and patriotism, who are peaceably seated in the heart of a civilized country, and who never have experienced the calls of hunger, the fatigues of incessant marching, for months together in the woods, and the horrors of an Indian war. But the situation of the Kentuckians at
the period when this plan was projected, was very different from a state of peaceable quiet. After having devoted the best period of their life, to the establishment of their independence of their country; after having shed their blood in its defence, and submitted to all the ills of the revolutionary war, they saw themselves in the decline of age, unsupported by their country, and forced for a subsistence, to traverse a wilderness of nature, where death lay concealed in every bush, and the scalping knife of the Indian threatened them at every step. When to those evils, the enmity of the Spaniards was added on one side, and that of the Canadian government on the other; we ought to pause and reflect on their situation. If a parallel is to be found in ancient history, it is the case of the Britons, and their celebrated letter to Augustus, imploring the aid of the Romans, may convey some idea of the situation of the inhabitants of this State, twenty years ago. The elements of destruction which hung over the Kentuckians, were, it is true, a little different from those which threatened the ancient Britons, but not less tremendous. "We know not (say the Britons,) which way to turn us. The barbarians drive us to the sea, and the sea forces us back to the barbarians; between which, we have only the choice of two deaths—either to be swallowed up by the waves, or to be butchered by the sword."
Under these circumstances, the cool and dispassionate reasoner will not see it astonishing, if even virtue and integrity themselves, yielded to the plausible proposal of an intriguing and ambitious adventurer.
This man was General Wilkinson, the present Governor of Upper Louisiana. Destitute of the means of supporting a vain and ostentatious parade in life, among wealthy settlers; General Wilkinson at an early period, sought the woods of Kentucky, in hopes probably of having one day the control of the State. He settled in the county of Woodford. The property he brought with him, did not exceed a few hundred pounds, and three or four slaves. This, however, might have been sufficient for a person of a different character from Wilkinson, to have procured all the necessaries of life, which the country at that period could afford. But the natural temper attendant on vanity and ambition, soon prompted him to search for another field, where wealth was to be more abundant, and pomp and luxury were not to be fettered by the rules of a republican people. With this design, he made an excursion down the Mississippi, in the beginning of the year 1785; his stay was short. He took another trip in 1786, but previously had the policy to cause an impression to be made at Natchez and New-Orleans, by proper emissaries, dispatched for the purpose, that he was a person of the first influence and consequence in Kentucky and the Western country; and could command at pleasure, an army of ten or fifteen thousand citizens. Giozo at this period, was the Spanish Resident at Natchez, a man every way calculated both to be imposed upon, and to impose upon others. The manners and deportment of Giozo and Wilkinson were nearly alike; both fond of show, mutually sincere, and mutually lavish of their services and promises of friendship. An understanding of the most intimate nature, was therefore soon established between them. A pair of the most beautiful bay geldings, which Wilkinson bought for the express purpose, from Col. Bannister, at Petersburg, Virginia, were the next spring, forwarded to the Spaniard. At the request of Giozo, Wilkinson made out a particular report of the geography, the resources, and population of the State of Kentucky. The inhabitants he mentioned, were in a state of the greatest discontent, and even bordering on insurrection; and that they would cheerfully accept the yoke of any foreign power which would aid them in a separation from the union. This report was transmitted to Mero, the Governor of New-Orleans, and by him to the court of Madrid; but the Spanish translator in some manner, betrayed its contents to the Earl of Bute, then British Ambassador in Spain, who procured a copy of it for his government.
Thus was the State of Kentucky to be set up for sale, and to be courted and intrigued for by two European powers. Gardoque, the Spanish Minister at Philadelphia, was applied to for that purpose, on the part of Spain; while Lord Dorchester, the Governor of Canada, was in
formed with a similar view, by the Ministry of Great Britain. A copy of Wilkinson's report was transmitted to Lord Dorchester, which is probably yet in that nobleman's possession; but another manuscript is preserved in the private library of the Earl of Bute, at his family seat of Mount Stuart, in Scotland.
1st. With regard to the Spanish Negotiation, Gardoque commenced his operations by sounding Mr. John Brown, member of Congress for Kentucky, then in Philadelphia, on the subject. Having discovered in Mr. Brown an accommodating disposition towards the Spanish government; he directly made proposals for a separation of the State of Kentucky from the United States, in favour of Spain, on the following conditions, with an assurance to Mr. Brown, if they were carried into effect, he himself, should be raised to the dignity of a Spanish Grandee, with a suitable pension for life.
1st. That the citizens would be allowed the privilege of their laws, and no restraint placed on them in respect to religious matters.
2d. That the navigation of the Mississippi would be equally free to the Kentuckians, as to the other subjects of Spain.
3d. That in all other matters, the Kentuckians would remain on the same footing with the Louisianians.
Whether these terms were complied with on the part of Mr. Brown, we know not; but they are narrated in a letter, written at that period by Mr. Brown, to the Hon. Samuel M'Dowell, of Jessamine county, one of the circuit judges of the State. Mr. Brown was then said to be on the point of marriage with Mr. M'Dowell's daughter; and it is very natural to suppose he should embrace the first opportunity of informing his intended father-in-law of the honours which were to be conferred on him at the Spanish court.
Part of the scheme is also mentioned in another letter, written by Mr. Brown about the same time, to Judge Muter, the present President of the Kentucky court of appeals. This letter being obtained in some way from Judge Muter, was published about 1789, in the Kentucky Gazette; but only one copy of that paper, we believe, is at this day in existence. It is in the possession of Col. Bullitt, of Jefferson county. So careful were the members of the Kentucky Association to have every document which gave light to their transactions, destroyed.
In corroboration of this statement, we beg leave to give the substance of a conversation which passed between Governor Greenup and one of the Editors, who waited upon the Governor, in company with another Gentleman, for the purpose of obtaining information respecting the plan. Governor Greenup mentioned, that Mr. Brown, soon after his return from Philadelphia, related to him in a private conversation, the proposals which had been made to him by Gardoque, which were nearly the same with those we have stated; that Mr. Brown appeared, in a guarded manner, to approve of them; but upon Governor Greenup expressing his abhorrence at the scheme, Mr. Brown never afterwards made any farther communication to him on that business. The Governor also observed, that he had seen Mr. Brown's letters to Mr. M'Dowell and Judge Muter, which to the best of his recollection, corresponded with the private conversation he had with Mr. Brown.
In regard to General Wilkinson, Governor Greenup said, he well remembered that Wilkinson read in the Kentucky Convention at Danville, in 1788, the report, or memorial, which he gave to the Spanish Governor at New-Orleans, on the subject of the resources, geography, and population of the State of Kentucky, as likewise a letter from the Spanish Governor to Wilkinson, informing him his memorial had been transmitted to Madrid. That this memorial consisted of about eighty pages of manuscript, and that Wilkinson in the same Convention, made a motion that they should proceed to the formation of a separate constitution, independent of the approbation of the State of Virginia; which motion was seconded by Judge Wallace, now of the court of appeals, and warmly supported by all those members who were then supposed to be engaged in the negotiation with Gardoque. Governor Greenup also remarked, that he understood the negotiation with Gardoque had so far advanced, that even the names of the several individuals were mentioned, who were to fill the several places of honour
in Kentucky, under the Spanish government; but from the length of time elapsed, they had escaped his memory. He added, it was his opinion, that most of the documents which could throw light on this conspiracy, were destroyed; and that if they existed, they probably were in the possession of Col. Todd, who was then Secretary to the Convention.
The proposals of Gardoque having been agreed to by General Wilkinson and his friends; an army was to have been immediately embodied, to have conducted a revolt against the United States, in favour of the Spanish monarchy. The command of this army, we are authorised to say, was first offered to Gen. Scott; but the patriotism of this veteran spurned at the proposal. The professor was next made to Gen. *****, who was equally indignant at the plan. Wilkinson himself, then volunteered the command. The raising of the army was, however, delayed, by the arrival of an agent from Lord Dorchester, in Canada, offering terms from the British government. For we suppose it mattered little with Wilkinson, to what European power the State of Kentucky became subjected, provided he himself received a handsome provision.
This agent of Lord Dorchester, was a Col. Conolly, a British officer, who was taken prisoner in Virginia, during the revolutionary war. The only Gentleman he knew in the State of Kentucky, was the late Col. Thomas Marshall, father to the present chief justice of the United States. The acquaintance between Col. Marshall and Colonel Conolly, had originated in Virginia, when the latter was a prisoner. Conolly entered Kentucky at Louisville, having only for his companion and protector, an Indian squaw, of considerable influence, and well known among the different Indian tribes, through which he had to pass. He repaired without loss of time, to Col. Marshall's seat, in the county of Woodford, only a few miles distant from the plantation on which Wilkinson then lived. He arrived about breakfast, and immediately after taking a repast, opened the object of his visit, and produced the copy of Wilkinson's report, which had been sent to Lord Dorchester. The whole of this day, and the greater part of the next, was devoted to the consideration of Wilkinson's report, and to the proposal which Conolly was authorised to make to the Kentuckians, from Lord Dorchester, which was the following:
1st. That Kentucky should, with the assistance of England, be erected into an independent State, and the inhabitants enjoy all the privileges of British subjects, without taxation.
2d. That the town and port of New-Orleans, with the free navigation of the Mississippi, would be purchased from the Spaniards for Kentucky.
Colonel Marshall, however, terminated the conference, by not only refusing directly, all aid and interference on his own part, but by assuring Col. Conolly, that the Kentuckians, whatever a few ambitious individuals might desire, would never agree to a separation from the United States.
Colonel Conolly, notwithstanding the opinion of Col. Marshall, had hopes, that by the powerful influence of British gold, he might prevail upon General Wilkinson and his friends, to break off the negotiation with Spain. With this view, he waited upon Col. Muter, Judge Muter, whom he understood was on terms of intimacy with Wilkinson. We have the authority of Governor Greenup, to say, that Col. Muter told him, that upon his expressing doubts to Conolly, as to the policy of a union with Great Britain in preference to Spain, he immediately replied, "Col. Muter, Great Britain can command your country when she pleases; she has at all times, an army in Canada, and a fleet in the West-Indies."
What conversation took place between Conolly and Wilkinson, we know not. We have only been informed, that they were introduced to each other, and afterwards became well acquainted. Col. Conolly continued at Lexington for several weeks together, where he daily received visits from Wilkinson and his friends. His stay probably would have been much longer, had he not been recognized by some of the Kentuckians, who, suspecting his visit among them did not proceed from the purest motives, threatened his life. We believe too, that those threats would have been put in execution, had not the interference of
the lately deceased Maj. John Crittendon, of Woodford, prevented the accomplishment. The last morning that Conolly was in Lexington, Maj. Crittendon breakfasted with him in a private room, in a tavern. During breakfast, a noise was heard in the passage. Major Crittendon suspecting the cause, rushed out at the moment that a huge woodman, with a large knife, was attempting an entrance; and happily contrived to pacify the enraged countryman, until assistance was procured. Col. Conolly after this circumstance, thought it was most prudent not to stay longer in Kentucky. He left Lexington a few hours afterwards, attended by an escort, which Wilkinson procured for him, and which saw both him and the Indian squaw, safely landed over the Ohio, at Limestone. Although we have mentioned the names of Judge Muter and Maj. Crittendon, we think proper to observe, that neither of these Gentlemen were, to our knowledge, implicated in the Negotiation with Spain or England.
Colonel Marshall, after Conolly left him, transmitted immediately, an account of every particular to General Washington; and the interesting correspondence which took place between General Washington and Col. Marshall on this subject, we are authorised to say, is at present, in the possession of Gen. John Marshall, of Richmond, Virginia. (To be Continued.)
CARDING MACHINE.
I WISH to inform the publick, that there is a Carding Machine in motion in the Georgetown Paper Mill, for picking, breaking, and carding Wool into rolls, on the plan that is in general use in Europe as I am informed, and in my opinion highly worth the immediate attention of all those who wish to make wool into rolls for spinning, or into hats. As the owner only wishes the owner of the wool to wash it and pick the burs and sticks out, and add a pound of grease well mixed with every eight pounds of wool, they will card a hundred weight a day, and pack it in coarse sheets, in which the wool must be sent, and secure so that it will carry forty miles safely on horse-back. The rolls are very long and tight rolled, and spin so well that the spinners with us, are now spinning three pounds per day, with as much ease as they can spin two from hand carding, & so much stronger and smoother that a fuller says there will be no comparison in the cloth. Let us consider the saving in a hundred weight of wool: a hand in a hundred days, may by hard close work, pick, break, and card a hundred weight of wool; such a hand, to find cards, victuals and clothes, must be worth one and six pence per day, which is £7 10, and in the spinning there will be about 17 days saved, which is £1 5 6, which make £8 15 6, and I believe that the superior quality of the stuff will more than pay all the expense and trouble, even if to carry forty miles, & if £8 15 6 can be saved in every hundred weight of wool, and the cloth much more durable and lightly, it will induce us to take care of our sheep, and have us and our people better clad, and cause us soon to have a surplus for our north western brethren, white and red, and render us less dependant on convulsed Europe. It may be said the hands that do this are of little other use; I answer, cannot they be employed at the manufacturing of flax or hemp? nay, how many hundreds of very valuable white women are employed at times at this very dirty and laborious business? a disgrace to the men, when such relief is offered and not made use of. A hatter came in with his wool yesterday, and when he saw it culled out in such excellent order, he said (and may be sworn to it) he could make four hats of it. The price for making it into rolls is to cents, if to mix different colours 12 cents, and for preparing it for the hatters 5 cents per pound, and the whole may be paid in linen and cotton rags that are well bleached, clean washed and dried, at 3d. per pound, and a worse quality at a lower price. What inducements to heads of families to save all their rags, and get from their neighbours who have not occasion to send. I suppose was economy and frugality used, there would be rags enough to pay for picking, breaking, and carding all the wool in the state. I am only interested in common with my fellow-citizens, the owner has rented room and water of the present owners of the mill, where they can work the machine at any season of the year. Elijah Craig. Georgetown, June 20, 1806.

"True to his charge— He comes, the Herald of a noisy world, News from all nations lumbering at his back."
LEXINGTON, JULY 12.
We think it would be proper for the readers of Wood's conspirator , &c. the publication of which is commenced in this day's Gazette, to suspend any opinion as to the characters implicated, until they have a view of the whole ground.
COMMUNICATIONS.
By turns a Democrat—Burrite—Fed.—and now like John Adams's republicanism, any thing or nothing.—What will Mr. Wood become next? The first number of his paper is such a piece of patchwork, as to make a most curious shew; but it comes in a "questionable shape," and will require soon to be spoken to.
John Wood says, he trusts that the public will perceive, that he is not goaded on by "party spirit or personal malice"—It will however, doubtless be perceived, that he has no more public spirit, than party spirit, and that he comes among us like the celebrated Scotchman of Edinburgh, crying out, wha wants me? ready for any dirty work, and determined to sell himself to the highest bidder.
At John Wood's festival in Frankfort, on the 4th July, Governor Greenup was toated as the "man of the people," and "the friend of his country."—What a satire on his conduct followed, when the members of the company became more inebriated—then was drunk "those Judges of the Kentucky Courts who never prostituted the dignity of their station, by holding a plurality of offices ."
Wood and his party, seem determined to be consistently inconsistent. At their late carousal, they toated John Randolph, and execrated Yazooism—and in the next breath, Genl. Adair, who voted in favour of Yazooism, in the late Congress.
To the Editor of the Kentucky Gazette and General Advertiser . Sir,
At a moment when the curious expectation of your reader cannot be gratified by the perusal of details of important matter, the Press will best discharge its responsibility to the public, by becoming, at once, the instrument of amusement, at home, and the vehicle of instructive information abroad. Whether the following idle reflections of a mere sojourner in your land, will contribute to this end, is respectfully submitted to your discretion; should you publish them, they may serve not only to excite a sympathetic emotion in Columbia's bosom, but may convey a momentous lesson across the Atlantic—they may teach that Monarch, to whose avarice and ambition, I had near fallen a victim, that divisions, proceeding from political faction, have no real and permanent existence in America—that he would act wisely to recal those time serving miscreants scattered through the different provinces of this prosperous country, feeding upon his royal treasury, serving only to deceive him. What tho' the cloud of faction rise and thunder in the west, and even nature frown with horror, as if fearing untimely dissolution—even in this dread moment of dire dismay and of forlorn hope, even amid these last struggles of expiring liberty, there will be found a "balm in Gilead."
The morn of the anniversary of independence returns, and "a voice is heard to cry in the Wilderness"—The despots of the World, the enemies of America and of mankind may learn from the sequel, that a recollection of that glorious era, its illustrious actors, and their more illustrious achievements consolidates all parties—Had I never heard a little about the deeds of '76, or of the revolution, I could not pass the street of a village or hamlet, between the waters of the Lakes and the St. Laurence, and Southern boundary of Georgia, on this great day, without knowing it to be consecrated by some extraordinary event; the patriotic spark would discover itself lighted up, and kindling into a holy flame, even in the complexion of infants. I confess that amidst all the tragic scenes I witnessed in France, during the time of Robespierre, not even when I beheld the throne of
tyranny enveloped in the blaze of Freedom, was I more completely filled with a sense of its awful grandeur, than when I first saw the celebration of this great festival in America.
The circumstance which gave birth to these observations, was the collection of the citizens of Woodford, on the 4th inst. near the town of Versailles; although the proceedings of the inhabitants of one town or county, or even of one state might not seem of consequence sufficient to attract the notice of distant governments; yet when it is recollected that on the same day, a similar display of sentiment was manifested in almost every precinct within the United States, it cannot be said that I over-rate its importance. It was about one o'clock P. M. when (by accident) I became one of this company, composed (as I was told) of Republicans, Federalists, Aristocrats, Democrats and Neutrals: They seemed actuated but by one sentiment; joined with a holy enthusiasm in celebrating their national birth-day, that day (they said) on which, "they were redeemed, regenerated and disenthralled, by the spirit of universal emancipation."
This exhibition was singularly graced by a numerous concourse of the Fair Sex.—A table adapted to the occasion was prepared for the reception of a copious repast—at its ends were seated the President and Vice-President of the day. The Fair having withdrawn, a troop of Horse commanded by Capt. Eastland, were drawn up in front of the table, and performed their duties with considerable dexterity and promptitude. Toasts were given at intervals, which rose like a divine peal to heaven, in the shouts of the multitude, accompanied by the trumpet and firing from the troop. Happy land! where the rights of man are sacred, and usurpation unknown!
Hail thou witness of nations! when we desert thee, may our wives, our children, and ourselves be im-molated upon the altar of eternal justice, a propitiatory offering, to appease the disturbed names of our ancestors!
If at any one moment of my life more than another I ever felt a more ardent attachment to the cause of Freedom and a more profound detestation of Tyranny, this was the moment, when overpowered by the mighty theme, I could only join the general acclamation—long live the American Republic!
Col. Young acted as President, and Capt. Railey, as Vice-President of the day, when the following toasts were given.
 1 The day we celebrate—may it never be forgotten, and may the sons of America properly appreciate the acts of their fore-fathers. 6 cheers.  2 The President of the United States—the glory of American statesmen. 5 cheers.  3 The Vice-President—he who headed the returning tide of Republicanism, when the reign of Terror held its sway, cannot fail of proving the worthy colleague of his compatriot, the elegant penman of '76. 3 cheers.  4 The memory of Gen. George Washington—the father of his country, and friend to mankind. 3 cheers.  5 The memory of Benjamin Franklin. 3 cheers.  6 The blood of our revolutionary heroes—may perdition seize the ingrate, that shall dare to asperse them honored names; consecrated to the happiness of their country. 6 cheers.  7 The administration of Republicanism—may nothing check the towering flight, which under its auspices, our Eagle, the appropriate emblem of our nations rising grandeur, has so long and so successfully winged. 6 cheers.  8 The acquisition of Louisiana—a monumental event at once fortifying our sacred union, securing peace and augmenting the commerce of our nation. 3 cheers.  9 The Era of Independence—the noblest epoch of history—may the illustrious Liberty it established, flourish in proud pre-eminence, till eternity shall drop the curtain on the stage of life, on all its actors. 3 cheers.  10 The state of Kentucky—Whose universal plenty and manly spirit of just equality, proudly bids the example of the world defiance; may it ever be the asylum of merit under the persecution of fortune. 6 cheers.  11 The Governor and Lieut. Governor of Kentucky. 3 cheers. 
12 The Columbian fair, may their frowns ever await the wretch, who shall apostatize from the interests of his country. 6 cheers.
13 May science, whose opulence sinks the wealth of Potosi and Peru into Bankruptcy, realize an empire in western America, ending but with time. 5 cheers.
14 May honest and valuable Industry, ever return the incense of wealth, with the noble contempt of indignation. 3 cheers.
15 Agriculture, the salvation of Columbia, a basis of manly Independence, which scorns every art of assault. 5 cheers.
16 The United States, may she never suffer her national honor to be violated, without asserting her rights and supporting her dignity.
17 Never solicit war; but if necessary, enter into it with manly firmness.
18 The Fair of Kentucky—may they smile on the virtuous and bestow their hands to the deserving. 6 cheers.
VOLUNTEERS.

By the Vice-President. Gen. Charles Scott—the soldier and patriot. 3 cheers.

The entertainment closed with the greatest unanimity, harmony and fraternity.
Extract of a letter from an officer at Fort Detroit, dated June 1, to a gentleman in New-York.
"We have received a letter from captain Whipple, at Fort Wayne, stating that a plan was formed by the Indians to take and destroy the posts in my district, viz. Detroit, Fort Wayne, Dearborn at Chicago, and Mackinac. The brig Adams arrived yesterday from Mackinac, and brings intelligence that a war is expected in that quarter, and that the Garrison was preparing for defence. The militia at this place are preparing, but it is a feeble muster, and not capable of much service. I am of opinion that the English nation will take a part, tho' not openly, with the Indians, as some supplies of provision and ammunition, have lately been issued by the agents of the British government."
The officer of his Britannic majesty's frigate Cambrian, said to be a lieutenant, who boarded the brig Kentucky, captain Cranston, on the 18th instant, in lat. 80 20. long. 78, and pressed four steerage passengers, notwithstanding our proof being adduced, that two of them were native born citizens of the United States; and when asked if he would press Americans, insolently replied, Yes, Americans as soon as any other nation; I proclaim to be a contemptible puppy, and impudent scoundrel, and pledge myself to convince him whenever we meet, that an American gentleman will invariably revenge the insults of a British officer, when in a situation to compel atonement by honorable satisfaction.
JOHN BARNEY, of Baltimore. N. B. The four men above mentioned were politely returned by the commanding officer of the Cambrian, without detention. June 25, 1806.
PHILADELPHIA, June 26. Reports in circulation at the Havana on the 14th inst. mentioned, that Miranda had been taken, and was imprisoned. They were not however generally believed.
By the Sufanna, Turner, at the Lazaretto, from Kingston, J. we learn, that a number of impressed American seamen have been dismissed from British men of war, on application of Mr. Lennox, the American agent, to the Admiral at P. Royal. [Ref's Gazette.]
AMERICAN AND WEST INDIA TRADE-BILL.
In the House of Lords the 6th of May, on the second reading of the American and West-India Trade-Bill, Lord Sheffield moved to discharge the order for the 2d reading of the bill, with the view of postponing it, in order to give time for the consideration of the subject, as numerous petitions would be presented against it. Lord Grenville moved that the bill be read a second time; which excited considerable debate. The earl of Lauderdale, the Lord Chancellor, Earl of Gaermarvon, Duke of Clarence, Lord Holland, Lord Auckland and Lord Grenville supported the reading, and the Duke of Montrose, Earl Camden, Lord Hawkesbury, and Lord Eldon, opposed it. The bill was however read a second time, and committed for Thursday the 8th May.
SWEDISH BULLETIN.
Head Quarters of the Swedish Army of Griswold, April 26. Reports on the 23d, received from Adjutant General Count Lowenheim, announced, that on the 21st, the Prussians had taken possession of
several villages in the Mecklenburg territory, along the frontiers of Lauenburg.
At Marienstadt, their vedettes approached to within 300 paces of the Swedish out posts. Count Lowenheim's principal force, was then at Großzecher and Skenorff. The Swedish van guard retained possession of Marienstadt, Sephienthal, the bridge of Ruchen, and the approaches to Lauenburg and Attenburg.
Yesterday, Baron Claes Rulamb arrived as a courier, with a report from Count Van Lowenheim, dated Gadebusch, April 23d. It is stated in his dispatches, that at half past eight in the morning of the 23d, the Prussians passed the Lauenburg frontier at Marienstadt, in such force, that the Swedish troops found it necessary, after a brave resistance to evacuate their posts in the evening. The loss under Count Van Lowenheim, consists of one hussar killed, and eight wounded. The loss of the Prussians cannot be related with certainty; but during the action, it was observed, that a number fell on their side. Count Van Lowenheim, has reserved the communication of farther details, which with respect to the Prussians, will be very ample, until his next report, which is every moment expected.
In consequence of the hostilities thus commenced by the King of Prussia, his Swedish Majesty was pleased to issue orders yesterday, for a general embargo on all Prussian vessels in the Swedish harbours. (New York paper.)
The trial of Lord Viscount Melville commenced at Westminster Hall the 29th of April. The London papers state, that the curiosity excited by the trial of Lord Melville, was not exceeded by that which prevailed on the first day of the trial of Mr. Hastings. At 8 o'clock, many of those who had obtained tickets for this splendid spectacle appeared at the entrance into Westminster Hall. By 9 the line of carriages extended from Palace yard to the Admiralty. Near 12 o'clock Mr. Whitebread and the other managers appeared, followed by Mr. Fox, and the House of commons. The managers were all in court dresses. After the Speaker had taken his seat, the procession from the House of Lords began to enter the Hall. At this time Lord Melville entered the Court, from the bottom of the Hall, and proceeding round the counsel's box, took his seat inside the bar. All the peers were habited in the full robes of their respective ranks. As soon as they were seated, silence was proclaimed by the crier, under pain of imprisonment. Proclamation was next made, that Henry Lord Viscount Melville, was about to take his trial for high crimes and misdemeanors, and calling upon all those who had any thing to allege against him to come forward. The articles of impeachment were then read, with Lord Melville's answer; also the 10th, or additional charge, and Lord Melville's answer and protest against it.—Mr. Whitebread then rose, and began to open the charges against Lord Melville. By a resolution of the House of Lords, the editors of the London newspapers are prohibited from the publication of any of the proceedings on this trial until it is terminated.
The number of Peers who attended was very great; there was no less than eighty-five Barons; all the Princes of the blood; and the box appropriated to foreign Ministers was nearly filled.—There were not less than 7 or 800 ladies present. (Lond. pap.)

WARM & COLD BATHS.
THE public are respectfully informed, that I have, at considerable expense, in addition to my former Baths, (on a permanent spring on my premises) erected three new Bathing Houses, one of which is solely set apart for the Ladies' use.
The use of Baths, warm and cold, were so general with the ancients, and particularly in warm climates, and the advantages to be derived from them, not only to persons in health as a luxury, but also in various acute diseases, where cruciating pain has been relieved, and sudden death often prevented, by the use of the warm bath alone; as well as the advantages to be derived both to children and persons of mature age, from the use of one or the other, as the faculty may think adapted to their case, will, the subscriber trusts, ensure the countenance and support of the citizens and others to the accommodation he hopes his baths may afford. Himself and attendants; will, from day-break 'til nine at night, wait on gentlemen; and careful female servants are provided to attend at all times on such ladies as may be pleased to encourage the attempt he has made to add to their convenience and comfort. G. A. WEBER.
N. B. Dr. Buchan, in England, and Count Rumford, a native of our own country, with numerous other writers of eminence, have so fully set forth the advantages of Warm and Cold bathing; that the reading of their works, it is presumed, will be amply sufficient to ensure remuneration to the owner, for the expenses incurred in the present undertaking.
Persons may pay each time of bathing, or engage for the season. Lexington, 3d June, 1806.

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 riv- er 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 ex- cellent for raising flock of all kinds, as it has a plenty of cane brakes and pea- vines. All along the river is the sugar tree, wild cherry, and other woods com- mon to this country. When you go back some distance, is the pine; which produces tar, turpentine, pitch and rosin; which will finally be valuable, indepen- dent 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, shows 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 hun- dred 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 bot- toms and along the creeks would pro- duce good cotton and hemp. Lexington alone, independent of the country black- smiths, consumes thirteen thousand bush- els per ann. we will suppose Frankfort five thousand, which falls at the landing at one shilling per bushel, and twenty thousand might be sold: this might be made productive by a man of small capi- tal. 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 sein, five or seven hundred barrels per annum. To- bacco, flour, beef, pork, tallow, hogs' lard, hemp, cordage, whiskey or call 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.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE KENTUCKY GAZETTE AND GENERAL ADVERTISER
SATURDAY, JULY 12.
For the Kentucky Gazette.
MR. BRADFORD;
I have seen with much surprise, in the Baltimore Telegraph, and in manuscript, a copy of a letter addressed to you, dated at Saint Louis, March the 29th, 1806, and signed by Doctor Andrew Steele, in which he unblushingly disavows, having given the information relative to the late expedition of Lieut. Wilkinson up the Missouri, his return, &c. as detailed on his authority, in a communication which appeared in the Kentucky Gazette, of the 11th of March, and asserts, that the said communication contains "falsehood and misrepresentation."
This is an impeachment of the veracity of the writer of the "communication," (of which I avow myself to have been the author,) which demands, and shall receive a refutation. That such information was given by Doctor Steele, on his return, shall be proven, by the concurring testimony of others. But the evidence necessary to its establishment, as in a court of justice, is too distant, (at St. Louis,) to be immediately obtained. For the present, I can only oppose to his naked denial, my simple declaration; but believing that my assertion will have its proportionate weight, I will repeat, nay, on oath do swear, that the facts stated in the communication alluded to, and contained within the marks of quotation, were derived from Doctor Steele, and were given without a deviation from fact, and as nearly as recollection would permit, in his own language. I should have supposed, that candor, a sense of justice, and self-respect, would have induced Doct. Steele, while he was denying the correctness of the publication, frankly and ingeniously to have stated, what (he is willing to acknowledge,) he did relate: for mark, he does not, nay, with truth, he cannot deny having given a statement. What that statement was, he should have told—If published, the public, supposing implicit and exclusive credit, was to have been attached to his relation, would then have been able to have determined, the nature and extent of the "falsehood and misrepresentation," that the communication (if any contained. But no; such an independent course, could not consistently with his interest, be pursued. He well knew, that a plain and undisguised relation of the real facts, which occurred during the expedition, could not be given, without committing the character, and exposing to censure, the conduct of "the Son of the Great Chief," and of course, displeasing "the Great Chief," who was, and is at present, his patron and his support. Doctor Steele holds a lucrative office at the will and pleasure of Governor Wilkinson. This circumstance alone, furnishes a clue to the motives which have governed him. To me, it is a conclusive answer for his conduct.
The appearance of Doct. Steele's letter, has rendered the publication of this communication necessary. I request, therefore, that you will insert it in the Kentucky Gazette.
I have given a statement on oath, of the account which Doct. Steele gave me in December last, of the expedition of Lt. Wilkinson up the Missouri &c. it is lodged with the proper department at Washington—and I have taken measures to have its truth confirmed, by the testimony of
Gentlemen at Saint Louis, to whom Doctor Steele also gave the same relation.
Before I take my present leave of Doct. Steele, his letter and the gallant expedition up the Missouri, I will propose to him, a few plain queries, and request, that he will give them a direct and unequivocal answer—honestly—without duplicity, evasion or hypocrisy.
Queries for Doct. Andrew Steele.
On the late expedition, which ascended the river Missouri, under the command of Lieut. Wilkinson, of the army, and which you accompanied—were not sundry goods and merchandise, to a large amount, transported in the public boat, and at the public expence?
Were not those goods, thus transported, the private property of individuals? and who were they?
Had you not an interest and concern in them?
Had not Genl. Wilkinson or his son, Lieutenant Wilkinson, either directly or indirectly, openly or covertly, an interest in them?
Was not a quantity of provisions consisting of barrels of beef and pork, taken out of the boat at St. Charles, and there left, in order to furnish room and accommodation for the goods of private individuals?
Did you accompany the expedition in the character of surgeon or physician, in the pay and service of the United States? or did you go in that of supercargo or Indian trader?
Were any goods sold to the Indians while on the expedition, either going or returning?
Did not the party under Lieut. W. about 340 miles up the Missouri, fall in with a party of Indians, of the Kansas nation? and did not the Indians, on learning who the party ascending the river were, receive them in a friendly manner, and invite them to their camp? and was not that invitation accepted?
Was the party under Lieut. W. fired upon, or attacked by any Indians, from the time they left Saint Louis, until their return?
The day after falling in with the Kansas Indians, did not a man by the name of Williamson, come to Lieut. Wilkinson's boat, and inform, that that day, or the day before, a party of about 30 Indians had killed his brother, and taken away their skins, canoe, &c. and that he had killed one of the Indians?
Did not Lieut. Wilkinson fire on Williamson and one or two soldiers, (under the impression that they were Indians,) while they were sitting on the ground, within the chain of sentinels? and did he not kill Williamson?
After the death of Williamson, did not the party, much against your will, descend the Missouri to St. Louis? and in your opinion, was there any necessity in returning, in consequence of any fear of hostility from the Indians?
On your return to Saint Louis, did not General Wilkinson, to quiet your complaints, made in consequence of Lieut. Wilkinson's sudden return, take your part of the goods to his own account, and become responsible for their payment?
Were any "Spaniards suspected to have been with the Indians?" or were any "white men discovered with them," other than hunters or traders?
Did not Governor Wilkinson remove Thos. F. Reddick Esq. from the offices of clerk and prothonotary of the district of Saint Louis, without any complaint of neglect of duty, or any charge of mal-conduct in office? and was not this removal made, to provide a place for you?
Did not Governor Wilkinson, when he offered you the offices of clerk and prothonotary, propose, in consequence of your having those offices, that you should act as his private Secretary?
