THE MONITOR,
By Archibald Cameron minister of the gospel

he river? that the proprietors of a barren coast are afraid left the Mississippi once opened, and its numerous branches brought into activity, their fields might become deserts, and in a word, that commerce dreads having rivals in those interior parts as soon as their inhabitants shall cease to be subjects?
This last supposition is but too well founded: an influential member of the senate, Mr. Izard one day in conversation undigestedly announced it to me."
Whenever we mention the term federal characters, we trust we will be understood, as only alluding to that class of men who advocated and supported the measures of the late president Adams, and particularly the Alien and Sedition laws. Those men agreeable to our prospectus, we must ever oppose as having voted for measures, diametrically opposite to the spirit of the constitution, which we have pledged ourselves to support. But such was the unhappy situation of the western people at this period, that on one hand they were encouraged to insurrection by the French emissaries; while on the other, they were threatened by fire, sword and poverty by the secretary of the treasury at the head of an army of fifteen thousand men. The venerable patriot of Virginia then secretary of state; who exerted all his endeavours to preserve the union in a state of happiness and quiet, became the victim of both parties, of French Jesuitry and Hamiltonian intrigue; but even the instrument of destruction, was forced to confess the purity of his motives. "The pacific part (says Fauchet) and the sending of commissioners are due to the influence of Mr. Randolph over the president, whom I delight always to believe, truly virtuous, and the friend of his fellow citizens and principles." But the interference of Mr. Randolph has not yet been forgotten by the Genevan Financier, who probably expected to have seen the three coloured cockade flying on the forts of the Mississippi. The rigid and scrupulous exactness with which he examined the treasury accounts of Mr. Randolph, but ill accords with the paper headed "provision for the purchase of Florida," which with his "characteristic caution," he put a few months since into the hands of Mr. John Randolph, to barter away two millions of dollars for the citizens of the United States.
Citizen Adet, who succeeded Fauchet, laboured to produce the same effect, a separation of the states; but this project was extended to a much greater scale by Talleyrand, who during a residence in America matured the scheme and organized a campaign of agents gradually to carry it into execution. It had been expected in Paris, that col. Burr was to have been the successful candidate for President of the United States. Pichon, the late French resident at the city of Washington, related this to several, and in particular to a French gentleman presenting living in Philadelphia. Had this event taken place as was contemplated, probably before now the Alleghany Ridge would have been the boundary of the United States. Of the various ambassadors or envoys from France, Pichon may be regarded as one of the most integrity who has resided in America; but a character of this description was not suitable to the views of Bonaparte and Talleyrand. He was therefore recalled, and the infamous Turreau sent in his place, one of the most abandoned wretches the French revolution has produced. The savage barbarity which he displayed when commander of the troops in the Vendee, has been recorded by every French journalist. In the short period of four weeks, he depopulated by fire and sword, one of the most populous countries in France, to the extent of 150 leagues. "Not a house, (says the secret history of St. Cloud) not a college-not a tree was spared, all was reduced to ashes, and the unfortunate inhabitants, who had not perished amid the ruins of the dwellings, were shot or stabbed while attempting to save themselves from the conflagration." Even at the seat of the American government, Turreau is not ashamed to display his cruelty on the unhappy female whom fate has put into his power. Scarcely a week is said to pass, that the unfortunate Madam Turreau is not compelled to seek refuge from the humanity of some of the citizens of Washington.
Such have been the characters and views of the several French envoys that have resided among us from 1789 until the present day. Dangerous however as their in-
trigues have been they were not inferior to those practiced by the diplomatic agents of the British Cabinet, to whom we shall now turn our attention.
The first of these diplomatic characters whom we shall notice, is Geo. Hammond. This minister plenipotentiary from Great Britain was a man of immense low intrigue, but destitute of real talents. He and several of the federal members in Congress, as likewise the late General Hamilton were one and indivisible. Previous to the ratification of Jay's treaty, col. Connelley's plan of uniting Kentucky and the western territories to the Canadas, was in agitation, and we are assured even received the approbation of gen. Hamilton, and many of the eastern federalists, who were alarmed at the emigration which was then taking place from the Atlantic states and imagined if the Alleghany Ridge, was the boundary between the Union and the British territories, that the harmony of the states could be more easily preserved. The machinations which Hammond was carrying on in the western countries, are even noticed by Fauchet in his certificate to Edmund Randolph. Fauchet says, "he said (Edmund Randolph) to me, that he was afraid that a civil war would soon ravage America. I enquired of him what new information was procured. He said that he began to believe that in fact the English were really fomenting the insurrection, and that he did not doubt, that Mr. Hammond and his Congress would pull some measures with respect to the insurrection, with an intention of giving embarrassment to the United States." This we must believe as true, for although it comes from Fauchet, had it been false, Mr. Randolph would certainly have contradicted it.—But the character of Mr. Hammond cannot be better described than in Mr. Randolph's own words. "Who was Mr. Hammond? In speaking of him too, I shall confine myself to his political demeanor. Into his breast had been translated the largest portions of his nation's hatred to all persons in the United States, who were conceived to be attached to France. He denied to himself no opportunity of throwing an odium on them. You never will forget, sir, his long, insolent and contemptuous neglect of the ordinary civilities, due from him, as a foreign minister, to yourself (Washington) as chief magistrate. You are no stranger to his personal irritation against me, for my friendship to France, for my remonstrance against governor Simcoe's invasion; for my defence of the government of Rhode-Island, in reclaiming the citizens of the United States, impressed and detained on board of the British ship Nautilus; and for the order, which in its operation ought to have prevented British ships of war from using our ports as stations, from whence to prey upon the French. You often uttered your indignation at his many complaints, without a shadow of proof, and the lengths to which he might be transported by the violence of his passions, were not easy to be defined. Was this the man to be implicitly trusted for candour toward myself, or any friends to France?"
(To be continued.)
SQUADRONS.
The situation of the squadron seen by Capt. Lewis, the 10th August, and mentioned in our last, and supposed to have been Jerome Bonaparte's, should have been stated in lat. 33 30, lon. 67, 30.—Jerome's squadron was seen the 2d August, off Long Island, in about lat. 40, lon. 73.—If the squadron seen by Capt. L. was Jerome's, he may be retracing his course back to the West Indies.
A Jamaica paper of July 26, states, that on the 17th July, the Serpent sloop of war fell in with Ad. Warren's squadron in the Mona Passage; and learnt that he should steer northward, in hopes of intercepting Willaumez's squadron on its return to Europe.
Further.—A gentleman who came passenger in the Industry, arrived here yesterday, from St John's (N. F.) which place he left 6th inst, informs us, that the brig Scorpion, belonging to Sir John Borlaffe Warren's squadron arrived there the day before he failed; which left said squadron off Cape Race, (N. F.) consisting of six sail of the line and two frigates; that the Llis, of 50 guns, Mercury, of 32, and Jamaica, of 24, were to sail immediately from Newfoundland to join them; and that a cutter was dispatched to Halifax, with the information.
LEXINGTON, SEPTEMBER 22.
ON Wednesday, 24th inst. the Students of Lexington Academy, will be examined upon the Languages, and some branches of the Sciences, beginning at 11 o'clock. They will exhibit the next day, beginning at the same hour.
Mr. Callaway, who arrived in this place on Saturday evening from New Orleans, left Natchez on the 31st ult. No later intelligence had been received at that place from Natchez, than what was furnished us by Mr. Barr.
By Mr. C. we received an Orleans paper to the 21st August, but it contains no news, except a confirmation of the report relative to the Spaniards, as related by Mr. Barr.
We have conversed with two gentlemen directly from the lower parts of Virginia, who give the most distressing accounts of the failure of the crops in that country from the great drought.
The French Frigate Veteran, under the command of Jerome Bonaparte, has arrived off Annapolis.—The remainder of the squadron under Admiral Woillemeaux, consisting of Le Patriot, 74, L'Eole 74, Le Foudroyant 74, L'Impetueux, 74, and Le Caspart, having put into Hampton roads. The Veteran is dismantled, and has thrown several of her guns overboard.
A London paper of July 17, says, The hon. Mr. Erskine is to set off for America immediately, as minister from this country.
There is little hope, we understand, that Mr. Fox will ever make his appearance in St. Stephen's chapel. The authority upon which we state this, and we do it with sincere and profound regret, is too good to allow us to entertain any doubt of the accuracy of the information. Mr. Fox is not worse, but his disorder is of that nature to preclude any prospect of his being able to encounter the fatigues of his Parliamentary duty. His illness is not confined to one complaint, but consists in a complication of disorders, which have produced a very alarming effect on his constitution.
The disorder under which Mr. Fox is now afflicted, is pronounced to be a confirmed dropsy, and considerable apprehensions are entertained for his safety.
Capt. Herron of the ship Minerva, from London, was informed by the American consul, that Mr. Pinckney had met with a favourable reception at the court of St. James and that our differences were likely to be amicably adjusted.—Mercantile Adv.
Letters from Halifax, received at New York from very respectable gentlemen, state that capt. Whitby was put under arrest, and sent home as a passenger, in the ship Leader, of which he (capt. W.) formerly had the command. Capt. Whitby we understand, is sent to England, to account to the British government for his conduct on the American station, and the depredations he committed off Sandy Hook.
FIRE.—It is with much regret we announce to the public the total destruction of the printing office and materials of the New-York Gazette. The fire broke out about 11 o'clock on Sunday night in the counting house back of the office, where we understand, a lighted candle had been left, which it is supposed communicated to some loose paper about the desk. The flames had obtained such an ascendancy before the alarm, that no opportunity remained to save any of the property in the house, and it was with the greatest exertion that the fire was prevented from the adjoining houses.

EUROPE is full of the eventful and wonderful!—Bonaparte is still the grand master of ceremonies—the Hero, the Ruler of the great political Drama.
Russia and Germany tremble at the name of Bonaparte's invincibles. Holland has become submissive and affectionate.
England is wearied with watchfulness, perplexity and suspense—though John Bull has new Fox'd his boots for the Chase.
Ireland hopes for better days. Italy, Spain and Portugal feel the sovereign arm of France.
The shores of the Mediterranean acknowledge the fame of Bonaparte, perpetual as their Pyramids.
France, in admiration of its sovereign emperor, is fast rising to the zenith of glory—ambitiously grasping the honors and emoluments of the world.
America, the dignified neutral power, in its active majesty, regards the whole—and feels most happy, with her children affectionately grouped around her. (Boston pap.)
PHILADELPHIA, SEPT. 2.
With respect to the contents of the following letter, we can merely say, that it is derived from the most respectable authority:
Extract of a letter from New-York, Sept. 1.—"By the papers of to-day you will be led to believe that peace was at hand on the 8th of July; the captain of the Minerva however says, that when he left Plymouth, which was on the 13th or 14th of July, all prospects of it had
vanished. He gave his Plymouth papers of these dates to a British man of war."

Lexington 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 exorcising 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.

COMMUNICATED. A noisy Priest in malice's dress, Sent sinners down to Hell all in a crowd. An aged Dame by groans betrayed the force, Of his most eloquent and bold discourse. The Priest came down to give relief, And informed her source of grief: Not doubting that he'd caused the smart, Yet willing to heal her wounded heart. Good Dame, whence comes all this distress, Has sin occasioned your unhappiness? Reverend sir, the Dame in tears replied; Thy poor, my wants were all supplied, By the labour of a faithful Ass; That toil'd early and late; but alas! Woe is me! he died the other day; And you remind me of his BRAY.

LEXINGTON LIBRARY COMPANY. Conformably to the request of the Directors, those persons who are indebted to the Company, are hereby required to discharge their respective accounts on or before the 20th of September next; at which time the Directors propose to send to Philadelphia for an additional number of Books. So repeated have been those calls, and so little have they been attended to, that the Treasurer will be compelled to commence suits against all persons who shall be found in arrears on the day above mentioned; and this he must do without discrimination of persons. The Treasurer recommends to all share-holders who have been in the habit of neglecting their accounts, to come forward and discharge them, and to relinquish their shares, rather than suffer a repetition of calls on them like the present, and a continued accumulation of charges. B. STOUT, Treas. L. L. C. August 30, 1806.
