The Kentucky Spanish Association, Blount's Conspiracy, and General Miranda's Expedition.
[CONTINUED.]
The conspirators, their friends, and their abettors, are perpetually calling upon us for our proofs. We have already stated, that all the documents which may be in our possession, shall be published at the close of the investigation. In the mean time, however, we beg leave to ask, are not the living characters to whom we appeal frequently, as to the truth of our statements, good testimony of their correctness? Has not General Scott repeatedly declared in Lexington, since the first number, that the circumstance related to the conspirators having offered to him the command of the intended rebel army, is correct? Will any of the hired and prostituted Editors, in the pay of the conspirators, presume to say, that General Scott has not repeatedly made this declaration? Is not this declaration of General Scott, therefore, good proof of that circumstance? We scarcely relate an action of the conspirators, without mentioning some living characters, and still we are said never to produce proof. Is not oral testimony in a court of justice, of equal import as written documents? And ought not this testimony to be admitted in the present question?
We have already noticed several land speculations of the conspirators; we shall relate one more, which was materially to affect the State of Kentucky, if accomplished. About nine years since, a company under the firm of Hall and Co. principally composed of conspirators, made a proposal to the Legislature of Kentucky, to purchase the whole of the Green River lands at a certain price. The price proposed, is said to have been not one fiftieth of the value of the lands; but expectations were entertained, that the purchase might be effected, by bribing the members of the Legislature. The leaders and projectors of this company were, one Horatio Hall, who afterwards held a commission under Genet, the late Mr. Holmes of Lexington, and Mr. George Nicholas. Col. Hickman of Clarke county, was at this period a member of the Legislature, and we are authorised by a respectable gentleman in Woodford to state, that Col. Hickman informed him, that upon Saturday evening, a few days before the Legislature were to determine upon the question, Mr. Holmes visited him, and proposed, that in the event of his voting in behalf of the purchase, he should have ten thousand acres to himself, upon the same terms as the members of the company of Hall & Co. Col. Hickman returned no answer at this meeting; but on Monday morning, when Holmes renewed his proposal, Hickman gave him to understand, that he regarded such offers to a member of the Legislature, as extremely improper;—Holmes, however, so far from feeling the force of this reply, as any honest man would, intimated to Col. Hickman, that if he did not consider ten thousand acres as a sufficient compensation, he might have twenty or thirty thousand; Colonel Hickman then explained himself openly, by spurning at the offer with the greatest indignation.
We are authorised by the same gentleman to state, that Captain Jouitt and Mr. David Walker were also members of the Legislature at the same time; that Captain Jouitt was a zealous advocate for agreeing to the proposal of Hall and Co. and Walker was not. Upon the day, therefore, before the vote of the House was taken, Jouitt called Walker to walk with him, and have a little conversation; in which, after endeavouring to exhibit to Walker the many advantages the State would derive from the sale of the Green River lands to Hall and Co. he concluded in nearly the following words: "But damn it Walker, if you vote for Hall and Co. you can have as much of the land as you please, to yourself."
In our last number, we said a little about this same Jouitt being the partizan and oratorical Bag-pipe of General Wilkinson; we now behold him in the most villainous capacity, wishing to barter away the property of his constituents for the basest of purposes. The conscience of guilt is always the greatest scourge that lazes the mind of man; it is an unceasing exciter to
fear and terror—In the heart of Jack Jouitt, it has always acted most powerfully. The first number of the Western World had no sooner appeared, than the Buffalo of Woodford, (as Capt. Jouitt is vulgarly termed,) brandished his horns in every direction, against the Editors; as no acquaintance or correspondence had ever existed between him and them, it is manifest, his motives only proceeded from an anticipation of the facts which the Western World would reveal.
Col. S.—I of Woodford, is another instance of the anticipating ills which conscience inflicts. The garb of honesty, punctuality, and impartiality , which clothes the venerable form of Col. S.—I, did not appear to him a sufficient shield against the secrets which the Western World would develop; he therefore, took an early opportunity of impeaching the truth of the statements which the Editors have exhibited, and of arraigning their characters on every occasion, doubtless with the idea of weakening the credibility that he expected would be given to a narration respecting himself. This Col. S.—I was employed by Genl. Wilkinson and other conspirators, to make plans of the most important rivers and grounds in Kentucky, which were transmitted to Governor Mero, of New-Orleans, for which, we are well informed, Col. S.—I received from time to time, to the amount of two thousand dollars. These plans were carefully packed up in a box, partly filled with stone, and given to the charge of one Richard Thomas, who now lives a few miles from Versailles, to be carried to New-Orleans. Orders were at the same time given to Thomas, that if his boat should be boarded in a forcible manner, or if any individuals should make an attempt at searching the box, he was immediately to throw it overboard. Thomas himself, was ignorant of the contents of this secret box; but the strict injunctions given to him by Wilkinson, naturally have excited his curiosity until this day. It is true, that Col. S.—I might have been ignorant of the purpose for which Wilkinson intended the plans; but we think the probability is against him. He was well informed of the frequent visits which Wilkinson made to Governor Mero, and the respectable standing which Col. S.—I then held in the State, afforded him also an opportunity of knowing the designs of the Spanish Association. From these circumstances, therefore, although we have no proof, yet we are impressed with the opinion, that Col. S.—I was certainly a partizan in the scheme.
We stated in one of our preceding numbers, the dignified style in which his honour Judge Sebastian and his son Alfred, failed up the Mississippi, on their return to Kentucky, in 1799. A few months after they came back, a person of the name of Joseph George, at present living in the vicinity of Versailles, but then an overseer, in the employ of Judge Sebastian, was sent to Louisville, to carry up to Sebastian's house, a flour-barrel, said to be loaded with goods, that had been sent to the Judge from New-Orleans. Joseph George in placing the barrel in his waggon, perceived it was extremely heavy, but what must his surprise have been, when opening it at the Judge's house, it was full of Dollars! George also affirms, that the dollars were all new, and fresh from the mint. It is well known, that Sebastian had at this period, no commerce or traffic of any sort with New-Orleans, that would have justified a remittance of this description.—What, therefore, could have induced the Spaniards to have made him such a valuable present? We humbly request his honor the Judge, to give us some explanation of their motives.
The art, intrigue and treachery of General Wilkinson, appear sufficiently, from the perusal of the following letters, which passed between one Simon M. Stockdell, an old revolutionary soldier, under General Wayne, now living at Cincinnati, and a person of the name of Charles Hyde, a tool of Wilkinson's. Stockdell had been sent by General Wayne, to the Falls of Ohio, in 1795, on some business of a private and important nature. Wilkinson had strong suspicions, that his business related to an investigation of his connexion with Giozo and Mero, and that Stockdell had procured for Wayne, documents on that subject. A misfortune which befell Stockdell two years afterwards, afforded Wilkinson an opportunity of attempting an extortion of the fe-
cret from poor Stockdell, who happily, however, had fortitude enough to resist his base proffers. The circumstance was briefly this:—In December, 1796, Stockdell went to Detroit, to settle an account he had against one George M'Dougall, who was indebted to him for 250 dollars, for services rendered by Stockdell, as a clerk to M'Dougall, at Defiance. Wilkinson then commanded at Detroit, and M'Dougall was his intimate acquaintance, and general agent in that territory. M'Dougall, at the suggestion of Wilkinson, commenced a suit against Stockdell, for 500 dollars, without any grounds or foundation. The latter being a stranger, and without friends, was sent to jail. But having some acquaintance with Hyde, the known tool of Wilkinson, he addressed to him a short letter, acquainting him with his unfortunate situation, which occasioned the following correspondence, that exhibits the craft and design of Wilkinson, without any comment whatever.
Detroit, January 30th, 1797.
DEAR SIR; Your letter of the 28th is now before me. The picture you gave of your situation, is really a picture of deep distress, and excites emotions of pain in the breast ever solicitous for the welfare and happiness of every human being, particularly of one who has been a soldier. Nothing could afford a man of feeling more pleasure, than to extend his acts of benevolence to one in your situation. I know your situation is disagreeable—I have seen the cell in which you are confined. I should have spoke to you when I was with you last, if you had not been in a room with such vile characters—I hope the fault is not yours.
Now, Sir, I am to tell you, that I will furnish you with wood, a stove, food, and all comfortable things that you may be in need of, provided you will tell me by a letter, the whole and candid history of a circumstance which sent you to the rapids of Ohio, in December, 1795. I saw you in Cincinnati when you were on your way to that place, and upon a mission. I am not altogether ignorant—You know my meaning. I will keep the thing from promulgation, until after the 4th March next, as a man of honour, and one disposed, as well as able and willing, to render very essential services. If an event does not happen on the 4th March, which will be beyond all doubt, any communications you may make to me, shall never be made to your disadvantage. Many will join me in lending you aid and assistance, if you will please to do a thing—nay, shall not injure you.
Mr. Ball and Mr. Claiborne, both would have favoured you, had you not withheld that secret from them.
Bad promises are better broken than kept. One good turn deserves another—this letter is a pledge. I wish not to take the advantage of your situation—it would be mean and base indeed. I wish to gain your confidence, and to serve you—I expect to hear from you to-day; and then you shall be placed in the situation of a gentleman. I have a stove already provided for you, and you shall have it to-morrow; and all other comforts depend entirely upon your reposing the confidence I ask.
I am, Sir, your most Obedient Servant, CHARLES HYDE. (A true copy.)
Detroit, January 31st, 1806.
DEAR SIR; After perusing your letter of the 30th inst. and observing the contents, I acknowledge the goodness and sympathy of your friendship to me, under my present disagreeable situation.
In the manner you have presented the question to me, requesting an answer, under my present confinement, is identically the real fact of taking the advantage of my necessity. If you have expressed your sentiments to me on the subject we are now on—I presume it was not perused before it was handed to me, and as I have to answer it, I must take the sense of the words as they express themselves. Particularly as you have been so long acquainted with me, and it was never mentioned until now—at a time when necessity obliges calls for assistance, and when I can't call myself my own person.
You also say, that my friends Mr. Ball and Mr. Claiborne, would
have favoured me with their assistance, had they not believed, that I withheld this secret from them. Was it my place to inform them, or any other person, what my business was at the Falls of the Ohio, in the year 1795, without being asked? It was never mentioned by either to me; and therefore, I can only thank those gentlemen for their exertions for my relief. Besides, it leaves room for a farther suspicion, which I believe is the real cause of my confinement.
Although George M'Dougall is not a friend of neither General Wayne nor General Wilkinson, and has discovered his sentiments to me of both; for which, no doubt he is very sorry, for by this time he pretends friendship for both, but not a friend to either. You say it is better to break a bad promise than to keep it. It may perhaps be better in some instances with some people.
Excuse me, Sir, when I tell you it is extremely hard that a citizen of the United States, who has just been serving his country; and must be compelled by individuals (not superior in principle, and wears honour in disguise,) to prevent a longer confinement, which leaves so much room for censure. To have avoided any censure in this business, you should have first relieved me from distress, and then you could with more propriety asked the question, (which you are aiming to extract out of me) which sent me to the Falls of Ohio in the year 1795: then you might have conceived me under obligations, and perhaps would not deny a question of that kind, as General Wilkinson was chargeable by Gen. Wayne, and Gen. Wayne opposing Gen. Wilkinson's plans or opinion, in the liberation of Newman, who was brought to Greenville, at Head Quarters, bound in chains and handcuffs, for suspicion of desertion to the Indians, to defeat the army on Gen. Wayne's expedition, though said to be done by Gen. Wilkinson's orders, after the expedition was performed and the Indians brought to a treaty. Although its an attempt made on me for a bribe, I do not believe you would injure otherwise than to extort this secret from me for Gen. Wilkinson; as you observed to me it was the request of General Wilkinson to get that secret from me; and I should not want money, and should have an appointment in the service after the 4th of March following, by which time General Wayne is to be put out of command, and General Wilkinson is to have the command of the United States' army; and if I would gratify the General so far as to divulge the secret to the Falls, I should be placed in the situation of a gentleman, as General Wilkinson then stood charged of certain things by General Wayne, who likely would injure him.
I have been offered five hundred dollars by George M'Dougall, in the name and bearer from, Wilkinson; and that should only be pocket money for me if I would tell the business. After General Wayne had gone to the board of war, and General Wilkinson commanding in his absence, he passing by Defiance, where I resided, this proposition was then handed to me by George M'Dougall, in a short letter to that amount. I refused—and said I would be willing at any time when called on or required by justice and not to an individual.
I am much hurt at this subject being mentioned at this time, which is a convincing proof of its being the real cause of that vile rascal George M'Dougall and others forcing me into jail, by Wilkinson's friends infusing into the minds of others this, to get the business of the Falls from me.
I was forced into jail by Ebbert M'Dougall deputy sheriff, by orders of M'Dougall, and Judge May, the damned British chimney sweeper, who is just made Judge of the court common pleas for this district, who at this time order not to be taken any security, and refused several officers who offered their services.
You express a desire to gain my confidence—why should this be mentioned, when it is not in my power to serve you any way now, although it may be possible that in seven years, if we both should live, to serve you in return if relieved now. M'Dougall refused to settle with me, and pay me two hundred and fifty dollars, which he justly is indebted; then to sue me for five hundred dollars. I can't account for it no other way, than basely taking that advantage, with a combi-
ed set of vile disposed men. Liberty or no credit.
I am, Sir, your's, SIMON M. STOCKDELL.
Monday, Feb. 13th, 1797.
SIR; I received your letter dated yesterday, and would comply with your request, did there not hang a cloud over your conduct—alluding to the other day. Friendship wears no disguise; and you were lately told one good turn deserves another—If you persist in your unwise determination, I am sure you will not say I am wrong; but then you will undoubtedly find others ready to reward you—at any rate, I will give you money if you want it. Should you send me evidence of your confidence, you shall be immediately gratified.
I am, in the interim, your's, CHAS. HYDE.
PARIS, June 3.
Yesterday his excellency the Prince de Masserano, ambassador of the King of Spain, presented to the Emperor a letter from his Catholic Majesty announcing the death of the princess of Asturias, in consequence of which the French court, were ordered into mourning for nine days.
Maria Antoinette of Naples, princess of Asturias, died on the 20th of May, aged 21 years.
LONDON, June 10.
Paris papers have arrived to the 1st, Dutch to the 5th, and a Hamburg Correspondent.
The French troops remain in Bavaria and Suabia, and Brannau has not yet been delivered up till the official account has been received of the surrender of Cattaro, which is not expected till the middle of this month. In the mean time Prince Alexander Berthier continues at Munich. Gen. Andreossi, who was on his return to Paris, received orders at Munich to measure back his steps to Vienna, where M. Talleyrand's nephew arrived with dispatches on the 20th. ult. The correspondence between the Austrian and French governments is extremely active. Anspach which was to be transferred to Bavaria, continues in the hands of the French, and we shall not be surprised to find Bonaparte erecting it into a principality, for a member of his illustrious house. Having placed Prince Jachim as a kind of centinel on the Prussian frontier, he may have determined to station another of his relatives in a similar capacity on the Austrian.
Geta holds out, and is likely to hold out for a great length of time. The garrison are in no danger of wanting provisions or supplies of any kind. Civitella del Fronto continues also, under an Irish officer, to make as bold a resistance as that of Geta.
The islands of Procida and Ischia, lying between Geta and the Bay of Naples, have, it is stated been attacked by a British squadron, without success.
The Island of Capri, at the entrance of the gulph of Naples, was also attacked on the night of the 11th. ult. We trust the attack was successful. The Moniteur , of the 30th ult. contains a very long account of a trivial engagement between the French and Russians, in one of the islands (Leitina) in the Adriatic. The affair we have no doubt is much, exaggerated. It is likely that the Russians, seeing the post where the enemy were entrenched too strong to be attacked, determined upon a retreat, and might have been harried a good deal in returning to their ships. It is clear, however, from this intelligence, that no idea was entertained by the Russians, so late as the end of April, that they were about to evacuate Dalmatia.
GIBRALTAR, May 24.
The following particulars of a most brilliant achievement performed by his majesty's frigate Sirius , captain Prowle, on the coast of Italy, have been received from an officer on board the frigate, and may be depended upon. We publish them without comments; no praise can heighten the merit which the bare unadorned account bespeaks in the gallant commander and his brave crew.
H. M. S. Sirius , April 26, 1806. "On Thursday, April 17, we gained information from a vessel we boarded at sea, that a French national squadron, consisting of one ship, three brigs, one bombe, and five navy gun vessels had sailed that morning from Civita Vecchia for

Naples. We immediately made all sail in chase of them, and at 4 o'clock had the pleasure of seeing them from our mast head, and clear ship for action; at 6 o'clock saw them very plain from our deck, under easy sail and apparently determined to wait our attack; at half past 6 they hove to, and at 7 we commenced action on both sides within pistol shot; at 8, observed several of the enemy's vessels much damaged, and running in for the land, we still in close action with the ship and three brigs; at a quarter past 9, the ship ceased firing and hailed us to say she had struck. I am sorry that could not take possession of some other vessels, the night being so very dark, and our ship very much crippled and close to the land. However, we have given them something to remember us.
The ship is la Bergere, and now with us at Malta. They mounted in the whole 93 guns, and 661 men which you will see by the list of them I send you. I can assure you we found enough to do with the whole of them; for the water was so smooth that all their guns told; and for a frigate, like the Sirius, of 36, and only 260 men, to have 93 guns, and 661 men against her, it was serious indeed. Capt. Prowle has lost his nephew, Mr. Adair, a very fine young man; his brother was killed on board the Victory with Lord Nelson, he was captain of the marines. I am sorry to say we had 9 killed and 20 wounded; the enemy had 50 killed and wounded.
NEW-YORK, July 25.
The Circuit Court. —Before we state the proceedings of the court yesterday, it will be proper to notice the progress of the trial on the day preceding:
Mr. Hoffman finished his powerful and brilliant efforts in behalf of the defendant, at half past three o'clock, having spoken nearly three hours. The jury retired for refreshment, and in a few minutes returned to their seats.
Mr. Emmitt then followed Mr. Hoffman in a speech of nearly two hours. He necessarily pursued the general outlines adopted by his associates, who had preceded him. At almost every stage of his argument, he produced new and interesting illustrations. His imagery was growing and well supported, his positions were clear, his reasoning logical, and his deductions apparently perspicuous and conclusive. As an Orator he holds a very respectable rank. Although his voice and his jettures are not of the most happy, yet his eloquence is peculiarly bold energetic and impressive.
It is with pleasure we seize this occasion to express an opinion respecting that gentleman, formed from a deliberate observation of his private conduct and his professional exertions, during his residence in this city.
Amiable in his domestic life, unassuming and exemplary in his general deportment, possessed of a sound mind, of a glowing imagination controlled by correct judgment, of a ready and lively perception, of a great legal knowledge, and of extensive and general erudition. Mr. Emmitt is in our view an honor to the country that gave him birth, a valuable acquisition to the country he has adopted, and a distinguished ornament to the American bar.
The Court met yesterday morning at ten o'clock, pursuant to adjournment.
Present—Judge Tallmage, Mr. Harrison rose, and in a dignified and forcible address of two hours closed the argument on the part of the defendant. He pursued the arrangement of his associate counsel, and discussed the various points with the learning and ability he always exhibits on similar occasions. If the defendant be not acquitted, his conviction cannot be ascribed to a deficiency of talents or of effort in his counsel. All that man could do under the existing restrictions of the court, they have done to secure his acquittal.
The attorney general rose at 12 o'clock in behalf of the prosecution. We regret that we cannot give a sketch of his argument, he spoke in so low a tone of voice that we could distinguish but a part of it. What we heard however appeared to be ingenious, and well adapted to the object before him.— Com. Adv.
[The court having heard the arguments of counsel on both sides, summed up the evidence to the jury, who retired for about two hours, and returned with a verdict of NOT GUILTY. ] —Mer. Ad.
Captain Darrell, from St Kitts, informs that he saw a gentleman from Montserrat, who told him that previous to his leaving that place, a French fleet had arrived there, consisting of 6 sail of the line, two frigates and two brigs, and had destroyed a number of vessels at Montserrat.— Ibid.
A letter from Trinidad, dated June 10, to a gentleman in New-York, contains the following article; Miranda's business occupies the general attention at this place. He is expected here on Saturday or Sunday.—Great preparations are now making to receive him in a manner suited to his rank. Nine Spaniards, who it is said came on here for the purpose of assassinating him, have been apprehended and lodged in prison. General Hyslop, we are assured, has made an offer of his best services, and 2000 volunteers, to assist this illustrious character in obtaining the object of his expedition.— Merc. Adv.
In the articles we have published from British prints, our readers will perceive much ridiculous vapouring on the course pursued by us on the outrages offered by the British ships some time since at New-York. It would probably be very incorrect to consider these effusions of ignorance and national animosity, as indicative either of the general sentiment prevalent in the nation, or of the opinions of the British cabinet. On the contrary, from information of the late date received from England, there is the best reason to believe that the conduct of Whitby will be condemned, and decisive measures taken to prevent a recurrence of similar outrages.
Commissions for England.
PURPOSE departing for England, on Monday, 25th August, via Philadelphia, and shall return in the spring.—Any persons wanting articles from thence, will find it a good opportunity to procure them on reasonable terms. I have patterns by me of many kinds of goods, and lists of a great variety of articles, particularly of Mathematical, Philosophical, Astronomical Instruments and Apparatus—a pattern book of Tools and Implements in various branches, and a complete catalogue of Books, with the prices annexed, from the stone of Lockington, Allen & Co. London, who are esteemed the cheapest book-sellers in the world. I will procure the above, or any other articles, on the best terms, and bring them over with me, for a reasonable commission; or will transact any other kind of agency business. Those who advance the money will have a considerable advantage, and respectable references will be given for their satisfaction; but I have no objection to advance the money myself, on their paying a deposit.

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 exhausting 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. Buchanan, 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.
TOBACCO MANUFACTORY.
JACOB LAUDEMANN, informs his friends, and the public in general, that he has removed from Lexington, about three miles, on Henry's mill road, where he will carry on as usual. He will also keep a constant supply at Mr. Joseph Hudson's store, in Lexington, by wholesale and retail, opposite the court house, which will be sold on the lowest terms for cash; he will give from three to nine months credit, on giving bond with approved security. Persons applying may be furnished with the different kinds of Snuff, Rappee and Scotch, all kind of Chewing and Smoking Tobacco, and Seals, all of which I will warrant equal, as to quality, to any manufactured in the state.

LEXINGTON, AUGUST 14.
Owing to the absence from Lexington, of several members of the Kentucky Musical Society, the Concert, which was to have been given on Monday next, is necessarily postponed.
Mr. Bradford, The geography of this country has lately become an object of considerable attention; and to ascertain with precision its relative situation to different parts of the United States is desirable on several accounts. Perhaps the following observations made at this place by Lieut. Pike and myself, about the time of the eclipse of the sun which happened on the 16th ult. may contribute something to the advancement of this kind of information. If you think them worthy a place in your Gazette, they are at your service.
Your ob't serv't AND: STEELE. St. Louis, July 28th, 1806.
The exact time of the beginning of the eclipse was not observed, as it happened somewhat earlier than was expected, and our glasses were not in readiness.
The greatest obscuration was 9h. 30m. a.m. End of the eclipse 10h. 52m. a.m. To find the true meridian for the purpose of correcting any inaccuracy in our time-pieces, we used the following method. With a good transit instrument well adjusted, we observed the pole star at its greatest elongation, which happened the morning before the eclipse at 1h. 22m. 48s. its elevation at that moment being 38° 32', which is the latitude of this place. And finding its distance from the pole for this latitude at that time to be 2° 12' 56"E. we fixed our meridian after turning the telescope of the instrument so far towards the West, and found our time-pieces at noon to be very correct. The variation of the magnetic needle we observed to be 7° E.
If any similar observations have been made at other places, by comparing them together, the relative situation of those places may be found with considerable exactness.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in St. Louis to his friend in this place, dated July 28th, 1806.
As to Wood's publication against our Governor and others of your state, I can assure you it has done Wilkinson no sort of injury here, and is utterly discredited by every man in the slightest degree acquainted with his character and principles, or who has been the witness of his conduct since he has been our Governor.
I have been given to understand that he received many dark hints by anonymous communications of the hurricane that was about to burst, but neither troubled himself about the quarter from whence it was to come, nor the purpose it was to answer, and indeed with much indifference laughs at both.
However it well becomes him to maintain a dignified silence, and treat the business with indifference or contempt, yet his friends who venerate his character, to do justice to his worth, must not suffer this dark and desperate plot, against his reputation as an officer and an American, to pass without that exposure which its villainy merits.
The specious contrivance of combining statements with the names of persons who are dead, and referring to authentic written documents in the hands of living witnesses, shews the extent of the plan, and its deep laid and envenomed nature. If however such documents are in existence, or such testimony could be procured, the great wonder is, that a different mode had not been pursued by the stirrers of this business, and specific charges founded on this evidence, laid before the legislature of the United States and Kentucky, against the persons implicated, who are certainly answerable to one jurisdiction or the other. It must certainly be obvious to every man of candor, or reflection, that it is not by newspaper controversy such an affair can be properly determined, that if the testimony be written much depends upon authenticity of date and proof of handwriting, neither of which can be made to appear by means of newspaper statements; if the testi-
mony be oral, it must consist of ex parte declarations to which the law attaches no credit, and which no man of honor would give to affect the character of another, without allowing the person implicated the sacred privilege of cross examination. Such ex parte testimony may indulge and gratify the horrid passions of malignity and revenge, but they never yet subserved the cause of honor, and justice; honor which spurns at taking a mean advantage of an absent enemy, and justice who never permits the end to sanction unhallowed means—I cannot help therefore thinking, if there had been a shadow of pretext for these most extraordinary charges brought forward at this late day , that the same spirit which has prompted their disclosure, would have instituted an appeal before the judicial wisdom of the country—and indeed the circumstance of their being so long deferred, until witnesses are no more, documents are lost, and the justification is laid asleep in the grave of things and men which are past, gives to the present charges an air of atrocious malignity, it would seem as if their authors had brooded them in secret, until they found the sacred moment of revenge for some real or fancied injury, and then the monster comes to light.
One circumstance however I cannot but say is highly in favor of the parties involved in these extraordinary charges. It appears to me scarcely possible that the people of your state, will take the statement of an adventurer, renegado, and stranger against the tried services of their most antient magistrates.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London to his friend in New-York, dated May 17, 1806.
"I congratulate you and every friend to humanity, that the abolition of the foreign slave trade took place last night, in the Legislature of this country, by which 25,000 unhappy people will be saved from slavery, on the coast of Africa—May your Legislature imitate the example, and may Britain and her children be recorded as the first, who have had the honor of annihilating this inhuman traffic. It is expected that the remaining branch of it will be done away the ensuing season."
In the British House of Commons, on the 3d ult.
Mr. Secretary Fox, rose to give notice that he should on Tuesday next bring forward a resolution which would have the effect of shewing that his majesty's ministers were not unmindful of the pledges they had given respecting the final abolition of the slave trade. He conceived it would be too late in the present session to propose any bill upon the subject; but as it was one of those important subjects upon which his majesty's present ministers had pledged their opinions to the house, he thought it high time to evince their determination of carrying those opinions into effect.

AN ELIGIBLE SEAT FOR IRON & OTHER WATER-WORKS. The undersigned, from his experience in Iron and other water-works, is induced to believe that the mouth of Little river, in Christian county, forms the most eligible seat he has seen:—First, on account of the largeness and constancy of the stream—secondly, the security of the seat, as the dam may be founded on, and abutted against rocks through its whole length—thirdly, navigation, which is practicable at all times to the wharves of the different works—fourthly, the plenitude and quality of the Ore, there being ten or twelve banks of different kinds convenient to the seat—fifthly, the abundance and suitability of timber for the works or ship building—sixthly, the suitability of the surrounding country for the production of wheat, which, independent of the advantages of boating it down the Cumberland from Tennessee, would render a merchant mill valuable. Considerable work is already done at this seat, but as it admits of more extensive objects than the undertaker is able to embrace, he wishes to form a connection capable of prosecuting it into vigorous and extensive operation. The terms will be advantageous, and can be known by an interchange of letters on the subject, with any gentlemen who may choose to adventure, after which the seat can be viewed, and a contract confirmed if thought advisable.
