RICHARD JEFFERY, & Co. Have just received from London by the last arrival, a very full assortment of
DRUGS & MEDICINES,
Of the best quality, which are offered for Sale on moderate terms at No 65, Main-Street—Attention has been paid to procure every article of the most genuine kind; and it is intended to have the assortment regularly furnished from the best markets; among a great variety are

SPANISH AFFAIRS.
The papers by mail, contain a variety of private letters which have been received by various persons, on the subject of a serious dispute with Spain. These letters are so nearly in substance to those given in our last, that we have not deemed it necessary to republish them. The New-Orleans papers also contain similar accounts—with such a mass then of intelligence, we cannot longer doubt, but that something serious is meditated, and will ensue.—All the accounts speak of the Spanish force being considerable, which proves that if they act, they mean to do it with effect, and promptly. Of the force, which the United States have to oppose to the Spaniards, we have no information sufficiently correct to enable us to hazard a conjecture of what will be the immediate result; we hope it will be found sufficient in numbers, as we are persuaded it is in courage. As however, our administration appeared to be disposed for negotiation, and by means that did not exhibit a warlike temper, we fear that they have confided too much in the success of a negotiation, that might have answered very well for the present if it had reached the proper extent—we fear confiding too much in their money negotiations, that they have not turned their attention to military preparations. We never knew money to be offered with one hand, and the sword grasped in the sword grasped in the other, whenever a nation employs money to procure peace or purchase right, it is a confession that it has no inclination to use arms.
It is equally unprofitable and unavailing, to be complaining of what is past; we must look forward to what is to happen, and prepare to assert our rights with firmness, discarding that arrogance which in the spirit of candour we must confess is but too common with us. Let us adopt the language used by Mr. Jefferson when Secretary of State, and act up to it, at the time we allude to, Spain was told, "that America knew her own strength without boasting of it, and that she could respect the strength of another nation without fearing it."
If we are involved in a war with Spain, it is a folly to talk of Spain only, or even at all, we are to set it down as the work of Buonaparte, and therefore it is France who we shall have to combat. Although we would perish sooner than utter a sentiment, that might look like despondency, yet we think the subject is not so light as some appear to consider it. We talk of Spain as if we had the means of annihilating her: This kind of gasconade is ridiculous, and will expose us to contempt. So long as Britain is at war with France and Spain, we may talk thus confidently, but suppose a peace between those powers is made, an event very probable, and before this day. Exhausted and crippled as Spain is in her marine, she has enough left to annoy us most cruelly—what is to prevent her (taking Britain out of the question) from sending ten sail of the line and as many frigates on our coast, and blockading all our principal sea-ports? our frigates are laid up, and our gun boats are building? It will be answered that however she may annoy us at sea, we can remunerate ourselves in her provinces. We appear to forget that Buonaparte has legions, which want employment, and that nothing could be more agreeable to military rapacity, than the defence of the Spanish colonies, which those hungry sons of rapine have painted in their imaginations as exhaustless mines of gold and silver. Buonaparte would have no occasion to exert authority, the service would be courted, and in place of the feeble Spaniards of Mexico, we should have to combat the hardy legions of victorious France. We have thought it our duty to place the danger before our eyes, that we may accustom ourselves to view it with steadiness, and prepare the means that are commensurate to oppose it. A firm and dignified conduct in government can alone give energy to the exertions of the people. To this end we must discard those mean calculating schemes of economy, generated by a thirst for popularity, that have already disgraced our councils, and have contributed to produce the crisis contemplated. In preparing the means for asserting our rights, perhaps of defending our very existence, let us rely more on our own exertions, and less on fortuitous events, over which we have no control, & less on the assistance of any other nation. We already hear it said, Britain will be on our side, and as if wonders were never to cease, we observe an essay in the Enquirer, in which an alliance is recommended with England. Desirable as such a connection would be, should we be forced into a war with France & Spain, we ought not to rely too much on it. If Britain makes peace with France, it is rather too romantick to expect that she will go to war again on our account; and if she has not made peace, we could not expect her to continue the war one moment on our account. In answer to this we may be told, that Britain will never look on, and see this country ruined by France and Spain, because it is not her interest. Do nations always consult their interests, and are they not sometimes under the influence of passion and prejudice? We have looked on very quietly, and seen France exerting every nerve to destroy England; we have wished it, nay we have done more, we have endeavoured to aid her abominable cause. Look at your fifteen millions loan, and your prohibitory laws against the manufactures of Britain. The subject we find too important to pursue at present for want of time, and room in our paper. We shall therefore close these remarks with repeating, that we ought to depend upon our own exertions, availing ourselves of circumstances as they may present, and in a firm determination rather to perish than submit to FRENCH DOMINATION.
Yesterday came into Hampton Roads, H. B. M's. FRIGATE SQUIRREL, of 28 gns.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, accompanied by the Secretary at War, was expected at Washington on the 26th of last month.
Yesterday arrived here Captain Hall, of the brig Ruby, from Campeachy. On the 21st of last month, off the Havana, was spoke by his Britannick majesty's brig Port Mahon, from which he was informed, that a few days previous a French line of battle ship had got into Havana, after having exchanged some broadsides with the Anson frigate.
This, we have no doubt, is the Foudroyant, admiral Willaumez. There remains then to account for two line of battle ships of that fleet, and the Regulus of 80 guns, commodore L'Hermite, and the President frigate.
To the Editor of the Norfolk Ledger.
"ALEXANDRIA, Sept. 23, 1806.
"In your paper of the 17th instant, I observe a statement of information published, as having been furnished by me to captain Treadwell, of the ship Eliza. I am persuaded that captain Treadwell has stated to you what he might have supposed to be the purport of my information to him, and that he has misunderstood me, particularly in the political information, and the length of my passage. I left Liverpool the 22d July, and informed capt. T. that it was rumoured that negotiations had commenced, but contradicted in the publick prints previous to my sailing.
I am, Sir, Your obedient Servant, R. MACKINZIE, Master of the Ship Leonidas.
Died this morning, Mrs. ELIZABETH BOWDEN, wife of Mr. Richard Bowden, merchant.
In the National Intelligencer of the 10th inst. are "THOUGHTS on the subject of NAVAL power in the UNITED STATES of America; and on certain means of encouraging and protecting commerce and manufactures."
No. 1. This is such a compound of something like intellect, and sheer madness, that it defies all analysis. We will, however, express our ideas on the subject, in fewer words than this man has sentences.
"In the first place, (he says in substance,) a navy may destroy our liberty." So a man may cut his throat with a dull knife; therefore let us abolish the use of steel.
2. "Impressments arise from a naval establishment. The seaman may be torn from his family and forced to serve the publick, without an adequate compensation."
And are we obliged to adopt the bad, and reject the good of every establishment? A house may be burnt by culinary fire, or struck with lightning from heaven. Shall we then live in caves, and abolish the use of fire?
3. "A navy will sink the nation by its expences." Pray, was a man ever made poor by taking money from one pocket and putting it into another? I tell you, sir, the money expended in building a navy will not go out of the country.
4. "The navy of Great Britain is a splendid instrument of ruin."
Without a navy, however, she would be a province of France, and the whole world at the feet of the most rapacious tyrant that ever disgraced humanity.
Without an American navy, we shall soon have no commerce; without a commerce, we shall soon have no revenue; without a revenue, no government.—Then huzza for the "rights of man," and "the cave of the mountain!" Weekly Inspector.
SEVENTEEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS! "O Lord! O Lord! O Lord! O Lord! Fine doings these, upon my word!"
Our immaculate administration have paid, and have to pay, no less a sum than seventeen millions of dollars to the common enemy of mankind! And this will probably go to purchase bayonets to be plunged in the bosoms of American freemen! Well may every native American citizen accost each promoter of such a measure, in language similar to that of Shylock in the play: "Thou stick'st a dagger in me: I shall never see my cash again! Seventeen millions of dollars!—ONE THOUSAND CART LOADS OF SILVER DOLLARS!!" Ibid.
* Seventeen millions of dollars would nearly load one thousand carts, allowing half a ton for each.
The conduct of our administration, in attempting to destroy commerce, (or which is the same thing, refusing to protect it,) when they derive from duties on commerce their sole means of support, puts us in mind of what befel an unfortunate Hibernian, who was a calculator of Mr. Jefferson's stamp. The honest fellow was employed to lop a limb which branched horizontally from the trunk of a large tree, some fifty feet from the ground. Putting himself on the outside of the branch, Mr. Pat very deliberately cut it off between his own station and the trunk of the tree. Of course down came Mr. Sagacity, branch and all! Ibid.
IMPORTANT.
We have received advices from our correspondent near Natchitoches, that the Spaniards are in force, about 1000 men, within 3 days march, having determined to repossess them of the territory they were driven from last winter by order of our government. The troops to oppose this force, our correspondent writes, is not more than half that number. Some reinforcement was expected; but should it not arrive in time, our gallant countrymen were resolved not to dishonor the name of Americans. Things have begun already to wear the most serious aspect in that quarter. Wash. Fed.
The Marquis De Casa Yrujo has returned to Philadelphia, without coming as far as Washington. He heard at Baltimore that neither the President nor either of the heads of departments were at the seat of government.
We are told the government will not receive the Marquis De Casa Yrujo as a public character from Spain—tho' his appointment should be countersigned by Charles Maurice Talleyrand—We have heard it hinted, and there may be truth in it, that he has powers to treat with us for the Floridas!—This man is disagreeable to our President, and well he may be so—but Mr. Jefferson wants southern soil. Ibid.
COMMUNICATION.
Mr. President, Mr. Vice President, Mr. Secretary of State, Mr. Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Secretary of War, Mr. Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Attorney General, Mr. Postmaster General, and Mr. Duane are all absent from the seat of government, and have been these many weeks.
Whether General Jefferson is indulging in philosophick or Cyprian experiments—not knowing, can-
not say. He is at Monticello, and the Man of War, General Dearborn is with him.
Whether Mr. Madison is combating the Hypo, or mending his answer to 'War in Disguise,' not knowing, we cannot say: he is at his plantation in Orange county, in the ancient dominion.
Whether Mr. Gallatin is doing one thing or another, not knowing, we cannot say: he is somewhere about all along this or the other side of New-York.
Whether Mr. Smith is wishing that he belonged farther north, that he might succeed Judge Patterson, not knowing cannot say: He is at Baltimore.
Whether Mr. Breckenridge is dreaming of the Vice Presidency, or applying anodynes to the 7 wounds his conscience might have received when he 7 times voted Judge Chase guilty, not knowing, we cannot say: he is in the back woods.
Whether Mr. Granger is trying to sell some of his Ohio lands, or juggling, to turn up a political Jack, in Connecticut, or studying under Pierpoint Edwards how to render a reason, not knowing, we cannot say: He is, we believe, in Connecticut.
Our great men are all off except the treasurer and comptroller.
And all the Departments are now managed by FEDERALISTS, so that it can truly be said that we have at present a good administration.
How did the democratick papers roar in former times, when one or two of the publick officers were absent: but now they are dumb in complaint, when ALL are gone. But the democrats are very reasonable and consistent—an't they now. Ibid.
Had the Marquis de Casa Yrujo left this city with the intention of going down to Washington, which we understand was not the case, the surprise at his return must have been grounded on the supposition of his not being able to find the officers of government at the seat of government. This supposition on the part of the publick would have been rational enough, after the solemn declaration of the heads of the departments, for not attending Ogden's trial by the possibility of a sudden emergency of publick affairs; but it is well known, that at the seat of government there is not a single officer of government. Admitting then an intention of the Marquis, which by the bye never existed, of his going down to the seat of government, it is clear he would have been on a wild goose chase, as no man could find out other officers of government, even with Diogenes' lantern in his hand, except Doctor Thornton, lately considered as such on purpose to prevent his declaring under oath, that he had not only spoken very often to Mr. Madison respecting Miranda's expedition, but that Dr. Thornton himself, the intimate friend, the next door neighbour, and holding an office under the secretary of state, had gone so far as to pen and to deliver into Miranda's hands, a constitution for the provinces of Carreca and Venezuela, which he was going to revolutionize. This officer is the only officer of government likely to be found at the seat of government, as the president was at the distance of more than 130 miles from it—Mr. Madison at more than 100—the secretary of the navy at his country seat, the secretary of the treasury at New York, and the attorney general in Kentucky!!! After this compact situation of the members of government, it is a sin against common sense to suppose that the Marquis de Casa Yrujo could have had in contemplation, in his late journey to proceed to the should be seat of government. U. S. Gaz.
As Spain is said to be backed by France and disposed to engage with us in the unprofitable contest of trying which can do the other the most harm, is there not some danger that the French ships of war in the Chesapeake may be made use of to levy contributions upon our towns in that quarter? Ibid.
In what manner are the French ships of war in the Chesapeake to be repaired? No individual citizen will be credulous enough to expend money on the faith of bills upon France. The probability is, therefore, that the treasury of the United States will be called upon for more tribute. Whether any secret law has been passed providing for such an occasion we cannot say—However that may be, if we should pay the expense of the repairs, while the war continues, Great Britain will be very likely to consider us as taking part in the contest in favour of France. If we refuse, the Frenchmen will, in all probability, help themselves unless they have lately changed their character, or unless they should be deterred by the fear of our gun boat navy. Ibid.

Supposing for the sake of argument, although some of the jacobin prints affect to disbelieve it, that the marquis Yrujo has been furnished by the king his master, with new credentials, as minister to the United States of America; I wish to ask Mr. Duane and the warm and luke-warm friends of our administration, whether it can be regarded as the mere act of the king of Spain, independent of the countenance of the court of St. Cloud; Also whether if our government refuses to accredit such representative of a foreign power, it will not be considered a just cause of war? And further, if after all that has taken place, such minister is received by the President of the United States, whether the people of this country may not justly impute it to the influence of another foreign power, and consider the act as a surrender of their independence?
That the transfer of Louisiana by France to the United States, was a speculation on the part of the former, and a source of uneasiness to Spain, there can be no doubt; and that the purchase of that country, will either be the means of our humiliation, or of embroiling us with both nations, is pretty certain. Unfortunately Mr. Jefferson has acted in direct opposition to a wise maxim of the great Washington, "that the only effectual means of preserving peace with other nations, is to be prepared for war."

The following article was originally published in the Farmers' Monitor, at Herkimer, in the county of Herkimer. The information contained in it, if correct, is certainly deeply interesting to our country. It should at least rouse the vigilance of government.
Whether col. Burr, as is conjectured in this article, has enlisted partisans for the accomplishment of his projects in the northern part of this state we know not. But that he has formed, and that he is now employing in executing a scheme highly injurious to the interest, the tranquility and the welfare of the United States, we have the strongest ground to believe.
Col. Burr may flatter himself that his plots are covered with an impenetrable shield—he may imagine that a knowledge of his connexions and intrigues, in Philadelphia a few weeks since, with certain Spanish women and Spanish men is confined to themselves; he may however be informed that sufficient is known to others to discover that his "busy mind is still plotting mischief;" sufficient is known to open the eyes of the government and the country, and to place them on their guard.
From information recently received, we have been induced to believe that powerful efforts will soon be made to sever the western states from the union, connect them with Louisiana, and form the whole into a distinct empire with col. Burr at its head. Whether if these treasonable efforts should succeed, the new
empire will be independent, or a vice-royalty of Buonaparte, time only will develop.

By a gentleman of undoubted veracity, who resides in Onondaga county, the writer of this was three days since informed, that Comfort Tyler, Esq. formerly clerk of that county, had just left that place on secret business in a manner that at once excited curiosity and suspicion.
Mr. Tyler, shortly before this, went to N. York; his circumstances were known to be embarrassed: he was there arrested for a considerable debt. When he came home again, his appearance was entirely new and strange: he was dressed and equipped in the most superb manner, with a waiter to attend him: his debt, on which he was arrested in New-York, has been paid off by some unknown hand, and he now had money in abundance in his possession. He said he was engaged in a secret enterprise, but at the same time declared that the object of it was not against the government. He has engaged several young gentlemen of talents and address to follow after and meet him at Pittsburg; they are to be dressed and equipped in the same superb style with himself. He has not, it is said, disclosed to them the object of the enterprise; but has promised, that when they become acquainted with the scheme, if they should at any time within six months afterwards rescind from the undertaking, they shall be amply compensated for their time, and their expenses borne home again.
The informant further added, that it was conjectured in Onondaga, that the object was either to get possession of the Yazoo lands, or an extensively-preconcerted plan to effect a dismemberment of the union, with col. Burr at the head of the combination.
Does not every circumstance with which we are acquainted induce us to concur in the latter opinion? Is it not known that col. Burr has been travelling through every part of that country? What is his object there? Are his own pecuniary circumstances equal to the expense of this, if the object be merely a tour of pleasure? have not symptoms of disaffection to the union been constantly manifested from Kentucky and Tennessee? And is it not also known that the inhabitants of the other territories there, are discontented under the forms of government established over them? If the object be to get possession of the Yazoo lands, farmers, and not gentlemen of talents and address, would be wanted; but if a dismemberment of the union be contemplated, then the first step would be to draw as many gentlemen of the above description as possible from the other parts of the union, to assist in the measure by their united influence and address. Many such are to be found, who are ready, unprincipled, and ready at all times to embark in any desperate enterprise that holds out a prospect of accumulating a fortune. If this be the object it is to be hoped that government will be vigilant, and ready to crush with a strong arm any attempt at such a nefarious measure.
Extract of a letter, dated Leghorn, July 30.
"On the 19th inst. the garrison of Gaea surrendered after the mortal wound which prince Philipstadt received who commanded the fortress, and as the besiegers were on the point of entering the breach, the garrison capitulated consisting of 7000 men, under the condition of retiring into Sicily, and not bearing arms against the French for the term of 18 months. The singularly favourable situation of Gaea for defence, especially while they remained undisturbed on the side of the sea, gave to the coalition of Sicily a reasonable expectation of maintaining this post against all the power of the French, and thus remain a continual thorn in the side of the new king."
"The siege was conducted by Massena, and I am told that the utmost intelligence has been discovered in the conquest of what appeared hitherto impregnable. The affairs of Calabria have not taken so favourable a turn, for the English having landed some forces, which being joined by the discontented and unwary, has excited no small alarm in the capital; however Massena has been sent at the head of 20,000 men, unconfined by the impediment of instructions; of course ensues the burning of villages, the immediate execution of those found in arms, with all the train of evils which fall to the lot of what is termed rebellious subjects. My own opinion is, that this flame of rebellion will be suppressed by the unqualified measures of Massena, but if I might hazard another it would be, that he will never extinguish it; and that if the Neapolitans are not able by open force to free themselves from their new masters, that all the little arts of individual revenge and treachery, will at least render uneasy the possession of Naples to its present holders. The fortress of Stagno, and Cataro on the Adriatic are now completely in the possession of the French, as likewise is the republick of Ragusa; when the latter was taken possession of by general Lauriston, he in his proclamation consoled the inhabitants with the prospect of returning to their former independence, whenever the Russians shall have evacuated Corfu, Zaute, &c. &c. I have been informed by a friend just returned from Rome, and I am inclined to believe his information is correct, that the French government has demanded of the pope the peaceable relinquishment of his capital; but that his holiness replied, "It is true I have not the power of resisting by arms your pretensions, but my consent shall never be extorted from me for the delivery of Rome." However, there is no doubt remaining that they will very shortly take possession of it, though the castle of St. Angelo, or what was formerly the tomb of Adrian, is capable of long resistance. The French have now 2,500 troops at Civita Vechia, which is more than is requisite to become masters of all the dominions of the pope."
From the New York Evening Post.
"Come to the Point." In a late Political Register, Major Jackson mentioned that General Washington suspended the functions of the Spanish minister Yrujo, and that Mr. Adams requested his recall, but that Mr. Jefferson, on the accession to the presidency, solicited the court of Madrid to reappoint him. "Thus, (concluded Major Jackson) has retributive justice returned the chalice to the hand by which it was prepared." To this, Duane, with his usual disregard to truth, declared that "the story was totally unfounded."
Since the appearance of these two paragraphs, I have conversed with a gentleman of character, who has been in Spain since the facts mentioned occurred, and who assures me that he there met with Mr. Yznardi, the elder, formerly Spanish Consul to the U. States, and that Mr. Yznardi told him, that he was desired by the court of Spain to examine personally into the cause of complaint against the Marquis; that while he was informing himself, Mr. Jefferson immediately after his inauguration, sent for him, and observed to him that the Marquis Yrujo was connected with governor M'Kean, his particular political friend, and was favourable to those democratick sentiments, which then triumphed in the country, and that it would be grateful to him that the Marquis should still remain.—This Mr. Yznardi said he conveyed to the court of Spain, and in consequence the Marquis Yrujo was continued. This statement in substance Mr. Jefferson will not deny.

By capt. Clifton, who left Cadiz on the 1st of Augus, we learn, that two Spanish ships of the line

were ready for sea, destination unknown; that nine British ships of the line and two frigates, were blockading Cadiz; and that a treaty of peace having been concluded between Spain and Great Britain was without foundation.
Captain Whitney, from Bordeaux, which place he left the 3d, and the river the 7th of August, informs, that it was reported the day he sailed, that a peace was concluded between France and G. Britain, and that the treaty was to be made publick on 15th Aug. the day appointed for the grand fete. Capt. W. is the bearer of dispatches from our minister at Paris, to the secretary of state.
Mercantile Advertiser.
In our paper of Thursday last, we gave London dates to Tuesday, the 5th of August, stating that the Clyde frigate had returned to Deal the day before, after having safely landed Lord Lauderdale at Paris; and that then, (the 5th) no dispatches had been received from his lordship, but might be expected at the close of the then present week, or at any rate early in the ensuing week (on the 9th or 11th). If so, then no credit can be attached to the report brought by captain Whitney. Still less can credit be extended to the letter lately published here, and even sent on to the secretary of state, that the preliminaries were actually signed on the 29th of July.

THE KENTUCKY SPANISH ASSOCIATION, BLOUNT'S CONSPIRACY, AND GEN. MIRANDA'S EXPEDITION.
(Continued from the Ledger of Sept. 24.) The foregoing letter from Geo. Muter president of the Kentucky court of Appeals, to which are subjoined the letter from Mr. John Brown to him, dated New-York, 10th July, 1788, and a letter which Muter addressed to the editor of the Kentucky Gazette, dated the 4th of September, 1790; while they serve to throw more light on the agency of Mr. Brown in the Spanish conspiracy, display a want of candour and patriotism in judge Muter, which we regret to be obliged to notice. We stated in the first number of the Spanish Association our belief, that judge Muter was not connected in the negotiation, either with Spain or England for bartering the rights of the Kentuckians. We believe so still; but his own letter proves, that altho' he had no agency in the business, yet that he was willing to conceal treason, and to press traitors to his bosom. For after acknowledging that Mr. Brown was of opinion, “that it was most advisable to declare this country independent,” and that he assured the convention, “that all they asked with respect to the navigation of the Mississippi, was in their power or their offer,” (viz. by forming a treaty with Spain) he proceeds to state his motives, and his feelings for consenting to the disclosure of John Brown's treasonable letter, which were not to serve his country; but to prevent a duel between two private individuals. If George Muter had been left to his own free inclinations, and had not been biased by force of personal interest, we think he was more friendly to an alliance with Great Britain than with Spain. This old judge is native of Scotland, and notwithstanding he has spent forty years of his life in the United States, and has undergone many fatigues of the revolutionary war; yet he still retains many of the prejudices and partialities of his country. The tinsel sound of hereditary title, is grateful to his ear; and the old Scotch ballads of “Charley o'er the water,” and “O Johnny Cope are you waking yet,” more pleasing than the republican songs of “Hail Columbia,” and “Yankee Doodle.” We are far from censuring judge Muter for these feelings.—They are extremely natural; & when we consider that the services of his father, were devoted to the restoration of the Stuart family, it is not astonishing that the tear of loyalty should trickle down his aged cheeks; and the sigh of melancholy dejection be heaved from his breast, whenever the fall of King is mentioned. That day which determined the fate of CULLODEN, though buried in the lapse of half a century, we are informed, is still kept as a day of sorrow by the president of the Kentucky court; nor without reason, for George Muter must have seen a manifest difference between the situation of a flying fugitive and rebel—scampering at the heels of a defeated prince across tractless mountains of Caledonia, and the rewards anticipated in entering the palace of St. James, amidst the splendour of royalty.
We only blame judge Muter for the want of independence, and for suffering himself to become the advocate of a party, who were pursuing measures opposite to those which met his approbation, merely for the sake of private emolument. That such is the unfortunate weakness of the President of the Kentucky Court of Appeals, will sufficiently appear, from the perusal of a joint address by judge Muter and judge Sebastian, in 1794, to “The Freemen of Kentucky.”
The cause of this address was briefly as follows:—A petition signed by eighty-five subscribers, was presented to the honourable the General Assembly for the Commonwealth of Kentucky, to remove George Muter, and Benjamin Sebastian, judges of the court of appeals, on charges of injuring the rights of many of the citizens, and derogating from justice . On this petition a resolution was introduced in the house of representatives for their removal, which resolution concludes with the following clauses:
“Whence arises a well grounded apprehension that the said Gen. Muter & Benj. Sebastian are altogether destitute of that judgment, integrity and firmness, which are essential in every judge, but more especially in judges of the supreme court, and that there is no security for property, so long as the said George Muter, and Benjamin Sebastian, continue as judges of the court of appeals.”
“And whereas also the constitution provides, that for any reasonable cause which shall not be sufficient ground of impeachment, the governor may remove any judge of a superior or inferior court on the address of two thirds of each branch of the legislature deeming the before recited case, proper for their interposition and address; therefore, resolved, that the said George Muter and Benjamin Sebastian ought respectively to be removed from their offices of judges of the court of appeals, & that a joint committee from each branch of the legislature, be appointed to prepare an address to the governor for that purpose.”
A similar resolution was introduced in the senate,
for the removal of Muter and Sebastian, on the ground either of “a want of proper knowledge of the law, or some impure motives that appeared to discover a want of integrity.”
In the senate, five voted for the resolution, and four against it. In the house of representatives sixteen for the resolution, and thirteen against it. Whence it is evident, that although there was not a constitutional majority, yet that a majority of both houses agreed in opinion, that George Muter the present president of the Kentucky court of appeals, and Benjamin Sebastian, one of the present judges, were men not of integrity .
In this address of Muter and Sebastian to the free-men of Kentucky, a most vindictive and rancorous hatred to the late Gen. Benjamin Logan, is conspicuous. The cause of their resentment was the candour of the general, who disclosed many of the secrets of the Spanish Association. The old veteran had in the first stages of the conspiracy, given his countenance to the scheme; but no sooner did he discover its treasonable nature, and the calamities which must inevitably have flowed to the citizens of the union, were the plan put into execution, than he made a full and ample recantation to many of his friends on the subject. Let the reader, therefore, mark the language which Muter and Sebastian use in speaking of Logan.
“In all the previous steps taken in the house of representatives, he (gen. Logan) took a very active part, but yet, upon both votes, he retired from the house, assigning a reason for doing so, “that he was too much interested to vote on the question.”—This shewed a conviction that it was improper for him to have taken any part in the business, and therefore his conduct is the more base and unjustifiable, as it was against his better knowledge, and the dictates of his conscience. If his situation was such, as to make it improper for him to vote; how could he justify the steps he took to influence the votes of others?—Was it proper for his dupes and dependents to do, under his influence, that which was improper for him? the general values himself on art and intrigue, and knows too well the extent of his influence, not to have been satisfied, when he was retiring from the house, with the professed design of not voting, that he was leaving many behind him whose votes in favour of the resolution, he had previously secured.—And therefore in the act of retiring, exhibits an example of the grossest hypocrisy; and the ease with which the mask was seen through, ought to be a standing lesson to him hereafter, that all cunning is folly , and that honesty (however much out of fashion) is still the best policy.”
The integrity of his honour judge Sebastian however, appears to be hereditary; for an indictment for perjury was preferred against his father Benjamin Sebastian, who died before a final determination could be had. This occurred in the case of an action commenced by Robert Alexander, Esq. against John Carlyle, Esq. in Fairfax county court, Virginia, for the recovery of a valuable landed estate adjoining the town of Alexandria, when on the trial of the suit, Mr. Alexander introduced Benjamin Sebastian as a witness. A letter from the late chancellor Wythe of Virginia to Mr. Alexander, respecting this suit was published in the seventh number of the Western World, from the Richmond Enquirer.
The agency of Judge Sebastian in the company which dispatched doctor Watkins to Madrid, has been noticed in the two last numbers. We are authorised still further to state, that judge Sebastian particularly urged that the memorial to his Catholic majesty should commence with a declaration on the part of the subscribers expressive of their discontent with the government of the United States. It was likewise the earnest desire of Sebastian that he himself should go to Madrid as the agent of the company, and at a meeting held by the members in Shelbyville, we are informed that his honour was appointed; but in an after meeting which was convened at Frankfort, the judge was out polled and doctor Watkins appointed in his place. In one of the meetings at Frankfort his excellency gov. Greenup was present, but he did not become a subscriber, probably more from a suspicion of losing his two hundred dollars, than from motives of patriotism; for if his intentions had been patriotic, it was his duty to have exposed the combination, and to have informed the people, that there was a society formed by one of the judges of the court of appeals, for the express purpose of depopulating Kentucky, and colonising Spanish America.
We have directly accused judge Sebastian as having had an improper connexion with Spanish affairs, and with respect to the other judges of the court of appeals, we can as positively declare that they were well acquainted with the nature of the conversations which John Brown had with the Spanish Minister Don Gardeoque; and although they may not have taken an active part themselves; yet in our opinion, their having a knowledge of these facts, and afterwards supporting the publick character of the man, who was the treasonable agent; they merit both censure and punishment.
In regard to judge Innis, we have been informed, that his honor had intended a prosecution against the editors of the Western World, if they had criminated him. We have no hesitation of saying the same of Innis as of the judges of the court of appeals; viz. that he was well acquainted with the machinations of Brown and Wilkins; and that it was his duty as attorney general of the state to have noticed them. We shall be happy however, if judge Innis would answer us one question. What were the motives which induced him after the appearance of the Western World, to hurry to Lexington, and withdraw several old letters and papers, which he had given to Mr. McGruder for the purpose of his compiling his history of the Indian wars, and which the latter on his leaving the state of Kentucky, deposited in the Bank? If those letters went to prove the innocence of judge Innis, as we have been informed he has asserted; why has he not given them to the publick? We would with the greatest pleasure afford them a place in one of our numbers of the Spanish conspiracy, which would much more effectually establish the purity and patriotism of his honour, than any prosecution which he might raise against the Western World.
As our information was not all before us at the commencement of the investigation of the Spanish conspiracy, we have not been enabled to write with that arrangement which out to characterise a regular history; but to sketch the principal features of the plot, and to detail the facts as they come into our possession.
The following is one which has been communicated to us lately. A gentleman of Scott county, having met gen. Wilkinson at one of the Kentucky elections, at which the general was a candidate, entered into a conversation with him on the subject of going under the Spanish government, having previously understood that Wilkinson was desirous of this important change taking place. He therefore took general Wilkinson aside to receive satisfactory information as to his sentiments, before he would give his vote. The general after a little hesitation confessed his opinion, that it would be most for the interest of Kentucky to unite with Spain, upon which the gentleman from Scott told him, he should oppose him in the election. During the conversation, the late col. Sanders came up, and attacked gen. Wilkinson in the following terms:
“General, I understand you are going to sell us to the Spaniards.” Wilkinson endeavoured to evade an answer; but Sanders having repeated the question in an emphatic manner, he replied nearly in the
affirmative in the presence of the gentleman from Scott and several others.
A noted agent of Wilkinson was a man of the name of Joseph Ballenger, by character a desperado. This man was employed by him in various trips down the Mississippi and in excursions among the Indians, but for what purpose, he and Wilkinson probably only know. We can however, in a degree, judge of the nature of his embassies, from the consequences which followed. In the year 1789, soon after the treaty which was concluded between the commissioners from Congress, and the several northern tribes of Indians; Ballenger was sent by Wilkinson on some business to the settlers on the north west side of the Ohio. A few weeks after his return, the Indians from that quarter, made an incursion into Kentucky and stole a number of horses. They were pursued by col. ***** who after a pursuit of forty miles, overtook them, killed and wounded several, and regained about thirty horses. Those who were taken seemed to be perfectly familiar with the name of Wilkinson, and regarded him as the good chief of Kentucky from whom they said they had received many favours, and with whom they were always upon good terms.
From a London paper of the 5th August.
THE LATE AFFRAY AT TULLAMORE. “On the 22d instant four companies of Irish militia, light infantry, Londonderry, Monaghan, Sligo and county Limerick, halted in Tullamore, on their march to their different regiments from Birr, where they had been quartered.
“Early in the evening a militia man was addressed on the bridge by a boy, who cannot be discovered, and who pointing to a German soldier, desired the militia man to take care of those Germans, calling them at the same time by an offensive appellation.—Upon this the militia man struck the German a violent blow on the head with a stick which brought him to the ground. The German being severely hurt, complained much, and a German officer seized the militia man, and giving him up to the patrole, ordered him to be taken to the guard-house. This produced some little confusion, and, unfortunately at that moment the bugle sounded to arms: it is not known whether the bugle sounded to assemble the men at their usual hour of parade, or in consequence of the interference of those ill-disposed persons, but upon hearing it, the militia men crowded into the streets with their arms. A party of them formed, fixed their bayonets, and rushed up the street towards the guard-house, to which the prisoner had been conveyed. One of the officers, capt. Jones of the Sligo exerted himself without effect to restrain them, and a brigade major, a German officer, but dressed in a scarlet uniform, and probably not known to be such) drew his sword, ran in front of them, succeeded in appeasing them for a moment, and with the assistance of capt. Jones forced them down a lane.
“There they soon became ungovernable again, rushed into the street in different directions and began to fire upon the German infantry, who by this time had assembled to considerable numbers. The Germans fought at first only with the bayonet, but having made some prisoners they took their ammunition and fired upon the militia. The battle then became general, and several fell on both sides; but gen. Linsingen, who had before ineffectually interfered to appease the tumult, ordered out the cavalry, charged through the streets, and put an end to the business. During the remainder of the night nothing occurred, the peace being preserved by patroles, and the militia were marched off the next morning by gen. Dunn, (who had been absent upon duty at Birr) upon their several routes, with the exception of such as he detained upon the charge of their having been particularly active. It appears that twenty-five Germans had been wounded, eight very slightly, one has since died, another (an officer) is not expected to recover. Of the militia five are wounded, thirteen slightly, and one died almost immediately on being removed to the hospital.
“It is quite certain that the inhabitants of the town took no part in the affray: one of them, by mere accident, was cut down and badly wounded by a dragoon in the charge of cavalry; but there has been no interruption of the harmony and good will which had prevailed antecedently between them and the German troops.

One Hundred Dollars Reward, FOR apprehending (and lodging in any jail so that the Subscriber may get him again) Negro CHARLES, who ran off the last of July, without any reason, as he never received any punishment from me. He is about 25 years of age, 5 feet 8 inches high, stout made, and remarkably black, has lost two of his front teeth, plays well on the violin, & is remarkably complaisant and smiling when spoken to, saying yes to almost every word said to him; he has been accustomed to go in a craft, and well acquainted with farming. I purchased him some time ago of a Mr. Hinton, at the mouth of Rappahannock, who wrote me as soon as he had received my money, and returned home, to be on my guard, as he expected he would run off; but I did not profit by his advice, supposing the treatment I gave would induce him not to leave me—I will give Thirty Dollars if taken within fifty miles of Norfolk; Fifty if over fifty miles, or One Hundred Dollars if taken out of the state and delivered to me—I will likewise give Fifty Dollars to any person who will give me information so as to convict any one of harbouring, employing, or carrying him out of the state, having a firm belief he has been harboured by persons in the vicinity of this place.

Phoenix Fire Office.
The Subscriber, Agent to the PHOENIX ASSURANCE COMPANY, of London, for the State of Virginia, begs leave to inform the publick, that he is now fully empowered to subscribe Policies of Insurance for property against Fire throughout the United States of America, in conformity to the Proposals herewith subjoined. N.B. FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS can be insured in one risk on Buildings and their contents, and also on Ships and their Cargoes on board, in the First Class, but in all cases where Ten Thousand Dollars are exceeded, a special agreement must be made with the Agent, and an increase of premium added to those mentioned in the proposals, of not less than one eighth per cent. on the whole sum insured.

PROPOSALS
From the PHOENIX COMPANY, OF LONDON, For Insuring Houses, Buildings, Stores, Ships in Harbour, Goods, Wares, and Merchandise, FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE.
INSURANCE from loss or damage by Fire, hath been found a measure of great importance to the happiness of families, and has given additional security to commercial transactions. The distinguished approbation with which the publick throughout Great-Britain received the improved system of this Office, occasioned frequent application for the Insurance of Property in the principal cities and towns of Europe and America, and induced the Company, many years since, to extend the plan to the Western Continent. The Phoenix Company can refer to the unerring test of experience to ascertain their character; and, gratified by the unbounded confidence they have obtained upon the continent of America, and for the purpose of facilitating to the inhabitants the means of effecting insurance on their property, the Directors have lately determined to extend the sum which they have been accustomed to insure in any single risk, and have arranged Rates of premium upon the various descriptions of property, which they trust, will be found moderate, just and equitable. The promptitude with which this office has adjusted the claims of sufferers, and the solidity of the funds, are so well known, that it is unnecessary to offer more on the subject, than to refer those who desire information, to the merchants of London, with whom they correspond.
* * In this office no injured person is liable to any call to make good the losses of others; but in case of Fire, the sufferer will be indemnified by the company. The company also make good losses on property burnt by lightning.
Rates of Annual Premiums to be paid for Assurances against Fire.

CONDITIONS OF INSURANCE.
I. Persons desirous to make Insurance on Buildings, are to deliver in to the agent the following particulars, viz.—Of what materials the walls and roof of each building are constructed, as well as the construction of the buildings contiguous thereto—whether the same are occupied as private dwellings, or how otherwise—where situated—a so, the name or names of the present occupiers. Each building must be separately valued, and a specified sum insured thereon—and in like manner a separate sum insured on the property contained therein.
All Manufactories which contain Furnaces, Kilns, Stoves, Cooks, Ovens, or otherwise use Fire-Heat, are chargeable at additional rates.
In the Insurance of Goods, Wares, or Merchandise, the building or place in which the same are deposited, is to be described; also, whether such goods are of the kinds denominated hazardous, and whether any manufactory is carried on the premises. And if any person or persons shall insure his or their buildings or goods, and shall cause the same to be described in the Policy otherwise than as they really are, so as the same be charged at a lower premium than is herein proposed, such Insurance shall be of no force. II. Goods held in trust, or on commission, are to be insured as such, otherwise the Policy will not extend to cover such property.

VIII. All persons insured by this company, sustaining any loss or damage by fire, are forthwith to give notice to the Company's agent, and as soon as possible after, to deliver in as particular an account of their loss or damage, signed with their own hands, as the nature of the case will admit of, and make proof of the same by their oath or affirmation, and by their books of accounts or other proper vouchers, as shall be reasonably required; and shall procure a certificate under the hands of a magistrate or sworn notary of the city or district in which the Fire happened, not concerned in such loss, importing that they are acquainted with the character and circumstances of the person or persons insured, and do know, or verily believe, that they, she, or they, really, and by misfortune, without any kind of fraud or evil practice, have sustained by such fire, loss and damage to the amount therein mentioned; and until such affidavit and certificates are produced, the loss of money shall not be payable; also, if there appears any fraud or false swearing, the claimant shall forfeit his claim to restitution, or payment by virtue of his policy.
IX. In case any difference or dispute shall arise between the assured and the company, touching any loss or damage, such difference may be submitted to the judgment and determination of arbitrators indifferently chosen, whose award in writing shall be conclusive and binding to all parties. And when any loss or damage shall have been duly proved, the insured shall receive satisfaction, to the full amount thereof, without allowance of any discount, fees, or other deduction whatever.
X. Persons chusing to insure for seven years, will be charged for six years only; also, for a less number of years than seven, will be allowed a reasonable discount.
* * Persons desirous of effecting Insurances, are requested to make application to RICHARD TAYLOR, in Norfolk, who is appointed the Company's Agent, and is fully authorised to grant Policies on behalf of the Company. LONDON, 1806. 4wawtf 158

The superiority of this Scheme to the one first proposed, is so obvious, that little need be said in recommendation of it. Those inclined to adventure, will see that their chance for obtaining prizes is greatly increased; that pending the drawing, their small prizes may be immediately invested in other tickets, thereby giving them a chance for prizes of considerable magnitude. To those who have drawn prizes of 15 dolls. in the First Class, as well as to those who have drawn blanks, information is now given, that the prizes may at their own option be renewed by tickets in this Class, and their blanks also, but upon the payment in the latter case of 10 dollars with each blank, provided such prizes and blanks, with the cash, be remitted free of postage, to Robt. Greenhow, merchant, in Williamsburg, agent and treasurer, or to William Newsum, Post-Master, in Norfolk, previous to the commencement of the drawing, after which period no renewal will be made. When to the prospect of individual advantage that may result to each adventurer, is added the patriotic reasons which induced the legislature to authorise this Lottery, it is ardently hoped that the disposition of tickets, will soon enable the commissioners to certify, that the drawing has commenced; which event, the agent assures the public, shall be expedited by every means in his power.
