TO THE HONOURABLE GEORGE MUTER, AND BENJAMIN SEBASTIAN.
The following letter has been referred to in this Publication.
To the Honorable GEORGE MUTER, and BENJAMIN SEBASTIAN, now at Frankfort.
IN reply to your note in Mr. Brad- ford's paper of Saturday last, I can, with the utmost frankness and sincerity, assure your honors, that your assertion of me, is not true, and cannot be justified—and anxious to have the matter between us, thus brought to is- sue, determined, before I leave the country, which cannot possibly be done by suit; I propose that it shall be left to twelve of the most respectable citi- zens of Woodford County, in which one of your honors reside. That the persons be named by us reciprocally— that you specify your charge in writing, with the facts on which you found it, and transmit a copy to me; to that I will answer it writing; upon which, and the depositions, and other exhibits in the case, between General Wilkinson and myself, let the question between us be submitted. This will be coming to the point, in a fair and speedy manner —and a decision so obtained will be- equally valid, as the verdict of a jury. To facilitate the object of this propo- sition, I will now name six persons on my part, (to wit) Peyton Shortt; John Watkins, Wm. Steele, Robert Alex- ander, John Finney, and Marquis Calmes. Gentlemen, you can name as many more, and a joint request for their attendance at Woodford Court-house, on some day in the first week in Novem- ber next, (which you may insert in the request to be sent the persons named) and I will charge myself with having it presented, if you will inclose it to me in an answer which I shall expect to this application. The originals of all the papers in the cause above alluded to, are in the office of your court, conse- quently now immediately accessible to you; and I have copies of almost all of them, of which I will so furnish you a list—should you want others, you can easily procure them, to be used on the trial; nor shall the expense be an objection—I will pay that, if you come into this proposal, and request it.
Your honors humble servant, October, 1795. H. MARSHALL.
SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES, March 22, 1796.
In the case of the Kentucky Memori- alists, exhibiting certain allega- tions against Mr. Marshall, a Se- nator from this State.
On the question to adopt the report as amended, It passed in the affirmative, Yeas, 16, Nays, 8.
The yeas and nays being required by one fifth of the Senators present, Those who voted in the affirmative, are, Messrs. Bingham, Bradford, Cab- ot, Folger, Frelinghuysen, Gunn, Hen- ry, Latimer, Livermore, Paine, Read, Ross, Rutherford, Strong, Trumbull, and Vining.
Those who voted in the negative, are, Messrs. Bloodworth, Brown, Burr, Langdon, Martin, Malon, Robinson, and Tazewell.
So the report was adopted as follows: The committee to whom were referred the letter of the governor, and the memorial of the representatives of Ken- tucky, with the papers accompanying them, report.
That the representatives of the free- men of Kentucky state in their memori- al, that in February 1795, a pamphlet was published by George Muter, and Benjamin Sebastian (who were two judg- es of the Court of Appeals) in which they say, that Humphrey Marshall had a suit in Chancery in the said Court of Appeals, in which it appearing manifest from the oath of the complainant, from disinterested testimony, from records, from documents furnished by himself and from the contradictions contained in his own answer, that he had commit- ted a gross fraud; the court gave a decree against him, and that in the in- vestigation he was publicly charged with perjury. That Mr. Marshall in a pub- lication in the Kentucky Gazette, called for a specification of the charge; To which the said George Muter and Benj. Sebastian, in a like publication, replied, that he was guilty of perjury in his answer, to the bill in chancery ex- hibited against him by James Wilkinson; & that they would plead justification to any suit brought against them therefor. That no such suit, as the said represent- atives could learn, had been brought. The said representatives further say that they do not mean to give an opinion on the justice of the said charge; but re- quest that an investigation may imme- diately take place relative thereto.
Your committee observe that the said suit was tried eighteen months before Mr. Marshall was chosen a member of the Senate, and that, previous to his e- lection, accusations had taken place be- tween him and the judges of the Court, relating to the same suit.
The representatives of Kentucky have not furnished any copy of Mr. Marshall's answer on oath; nor have they stated any part of the testimony, or produced any of the said records or do- cuments, or the copy of any paper in the cause, nor have they intimated a de- sign to bring forward these or any other proofs.
Your committee are informed by the other Senator, and the two Representa- tives in Congress from Kentucky, that they have not been requested by the Le- gislature of that state to prosecute this enquiry, and that they are not possessed of any evidence in the case, and that they believe no person is authorized to appear on behalf of the Legislature.
Mr. Marshall is solicitous that a full investigation of the subject should take place in the Senate, and urges the prin- ciple, that consent takes away error, as applying on this occasion to give the Se- nate jurisdiction; but as no person ap- pears to prosecute, and there is no evi- dence adduced to the Senate, nor even a specific charge, the committee think any further enquiry by the Senate, would be improper. If there were no objections of this sort, the committee would still be of opinion, that the me- morial could not be sustained. They think that in a case of this kind no per- son can be held to answer for an infa- mous crime, unless on a presentment, or an indictment of a grand jury; and that in all such prosecutions, the accus- ed ought to be tried by an impartial Ju- ry of the State and District, wherein the crime shall have been committed. If in the present case the party has been guilty, in the manner suggested, no reason has been alleged by the memo- rialists why he has not long since been tried in the State and District where he committed the offence. Until he is le- gally convicted, the principles of the Constitution and of the common law, concur, in presuming that he is inno- cent. And the committee are compel- led by a sense of justice, to declare, that in their opinion this presumption in favour of Mr. Marshall, is not di- minished by recriminating publications which manifest strong resentment against him.
And they are also of opinion, that as the constitution does not give jurisdic- tion to the Senate, the consent of the party cannot give it; and that there- fore, the said memorial ought to be dis- missed.
On motion, Resolved, that the Vice-President of the United States, be requested to trans- mit a copy of the foregoing report to the governor of Kentucky.
TO THE EDITORS OF THE WESTERN WORLD.
You have attempted by the vilest arts, and without the least shadow of proof, to stigmatize with eternal opprobrium the brightest characters that adorn our country. By pub- lishing poisonous and inflammatory li- bels, you have endeavored to brand with indelible infamy, men who have endangered their lives in order to maintain the liberties, and advo- cate the honor and happiness of their country; and men who have steered the political vessel safely through the storms of faction, and the deep laid intrigues of ambition. It requires the corroboration of stronger proofs than the mere asser- tions of such contemptible, degraded hirelings, to shake even the pre- cincts of those characters, who for their virtues, integrity, and patri- otism, have been crowned with ne- ver fading laurels.
You wish to traduce the people into a belief, that their brightest luminaries once intended to sell them and their children to the King of Spain, and then to drag repub- licanism from her tribunal of liberty and justice, and dash her headlong into the black gulph of infamy and disgrace, and upon her ruins, you will erect the despotic throne of monarchy, rattling in her left hand the chains of tyranny, and brandish- ing in her right the torch of perse- cution. You are constrained by your infatuation and deluded by your glaring hopes. The (supposed) Conspirators can with propriety and justice repel every charge, and expose your sophistry and villainy. While basking under the fond delu- sion of proving at the bar of justice, that some of our most enlightened citizens have been, and are now traitors to their country, you have fallen like Lucifer, never to rise a- gain.
You have assailed with your ven- omous darts of envy, the reputation of Judge Innes, the whole tenor of whose life has been devoted to the service and interest of his country. Is he to receive a stigma upon his character, which can never be erased, because he is affected with a complaint which is incident to human nature? It is his mis- fortune, but not his crime. Oh vir- tue, where is thy sanctuary—innoc- ence is attacked, and happiness has
no asylum! How odious and con- temptible are the effusions of polluted souls! You appear to have plucked all the flowers of Biling- gate, to decorate the columns of your paper.
Can Wood, that demon of dis- cord and malediction, pretend to deny that he never sided with those he was first hired to vilify? Can you, thou man of truth, affirm, that you have always been a firm and staunch republican? How often has one of ye, high priests of perfidy and malice, been marked with the gross- est violation of honor and virtue, and branded with crimes of the blackest dye, and how often has the other been convicted of the basest of crimes, (ingratitudine) and of mali- cious and malignant falsehood, which shock the human mind, and stagger belief—and regardless of all other traits in your character, to do you justice, you are no better than an assassin or robber. The day is not far distant when you will atone for your shameful and malev- olent aspersions, and abominable scandals. You will yet feel the stings of remorse, the vibrations of a guilty conscience, and have no plea against the reproaches of your rea- son, that reflexes monitor within.
CINCINNATUS. FROM THE WESTERN WORLD.
The Kentucky Spanish Association, Blount's Conspiracy, and General Miranda's Expedition.
[CONTINUED.] No. XII.
In addition to the extracts from Cori- olanus, which were given in the last num- ber, we shall now present our readers with an essay under the signature of a Western American, which was published at Frankfort, in a news paper entitled the Guardian of Freedom, the 2d of March, 1803, and which was intended to co-operate with the writings of Cori- olanus at New-York. This essay was laid to have been written by a man of the name of Flournoy, who had long acted as a literary tool of the Spanish Conspirators, was caressed by them, and employed as an agent on many occasions. A sham prosecution was instituted against him for the treasonable publication; but was carefully quashed, like that which was raised against George Adams, for attempting to assassinate Joseph M. Street, and no doubt if ever the spec- ulations of Burr, Wilkinson and Brown succeeded, Flournoy and Adams will receive their merited rewards. The es- say requires no comments. It speaks in plain and intelligible language, the de- signs of treason.
For the Guardian of Freedom. TO THE EDITOR.
SIR, Whilst the public mind is agitated and incensed, at the narrow policy of Spain, in shutting her ports against us, permit me, through the channel of your press, to strike at the enlarged policy of our more latent and specious enemies. Instead of skimming on the surface of our disasters, I wish to level a blow at the root of our evils. Instead of direct- ing our resentment towards the Euro- pean powers, let us with more propriety turn towards Eastern America. Instead of crossing the Atlantic, let us only go beyond the Allegany Mountain. There is the source of all our calamities—there our ills originated—thence we have de- rived our misfortunes, and still smart un- der her political scourge.
Let us no more be deceived with those fair speeches, friendly communications, and pretended good intentions of our President and Eastern brethren. They will do any thing for us, except for our advantage. They have given proofs en- ough of this disposition.
It may be asked, why may not Eastern America extend a favorable dispo- sition to our interests? I answer, be- cause our interest and theirs are pointed- ly contradicting.
What I have already stated, may be only assertion, and assertion without proof, amounting only to inuendo— Now therefore, let me proceed to stub- born facts—facts undeniable and irrefuta- ble; and which must tend to open the eyes of every Western American, to the unfriendly views and conduct of Eastern America towards us.
I shall only quote an extract from the writings of Monroe himself, after his embassy to France in 1795—“Some time (says he) in the beginning of 1795, I was informed by Mr. Pelet of the di- plomatic section of the committee of pub- lic safety, and afterwards by Mr. Cam- baceres like wise of that section, that in reliance our treaty with England con- tained nothing injurious to France, they expressly instructed their agent then negotiating with Spain, to use his utmost endeavors to secure for the United States, the points in controversy with that power. And shortly after as their negotiation advanced, I was asked as well as I re- member, by those members, as likewise Bouilly D'Anglas, whether we wished to possess the Floridas, since it was intima- ted it would be easy for France to ob- tain them; but which she would not do otherwise than with a view to cede them to the United States. I replied, I had no power to answer such an interrogato- ry; but was well persuaded that we did not with an extension of our territory. Well satisfied I am, that France declined taking them in her treaty with Spain, which soon followed from a fear it might
weaken her connection with the United States.”
Now, had Monroe been friendly dis- posed to our interests, he might have wrote back to America, informing of those propositions made to him by those members of the diplomatic section, who were then so friendly and warmly at- tached to the interests of America; and thereby the provinces of East and West Florida, might have been acquired to the United States, had our eastern brethren been willing to have accepted of it. But instead of that, he being completely up- (Eastern America) he firmly and confi- dently replied, “he had no power to an- swer such an interrogatory; but was well persuaded that Eastern America, did not with an extension of territory.” The full and extended answer of Mon- roe, amounted to this, “An extension of territory to the West, would be too great an aggrandizement to our Western brethren, and their flourishing state of commerce by this acquisition might tend greatly to the hurt of our commercial interests, inasmuch as they already pos- sessed an extent of fertile soil, so vastly superior to our's that they could greatly underfell us, and thereby draw the at- tention of all Europe to their ports. And although we possess the poorest and meanest country in every sense, yet by a superiority of numbers, we hold the balance of power, and are determined to make use of it to our own advantage, to the disinterest of our western, fertile part of the continent. It is therefore our pol- icy that the western rivers should mouth in the dominions of our European power; which power, by our improper and unfriendly conduct, we may render inimical to W. America, as being a part of the United, and thereby they may be denied the advantage of a for- eign commercial intercourse, and con- sequently will be beholden to us for a source of inland trade, much to our ad- vantage, but of little profit to them, and moreover our markets for European consumption will remain unimpaired.”
So our eastern friends have a two fold view and interest, in having our foreign trade cramped here, as I have stated in the above extended answer of Monroe, to the members of the diplomatic section —that is, if, our lack of intercourse with the commercial powers of Europe, makes in favour of their markets. Ad- ly, It will finally come to pass, (if we will bear it) that they will be furnished with the live stock of Western America (i. e. our horses and cattle) at their own price. For having all other intercourse with the world lopt off we must ultimately come to this; and they will entirely monopo- lize our traffic upon their own terms. For money we must have, otherwise how can we pay our state and continental taxes, or procure those necessary cash articles, viz: iron, steel and salt? If things go on thus, we shall be more de- pendent on Eastern America, than the Israelites were on the Egyptians, and our servitude will not be more tolerable. They were commanded to make brick (or what we call cat and clay) without straw, and we are commanded to pay our proportion for the support of a government, whose policy it is to oppress us, without a chance of a free trade to procure the money. For although we possess a fertile country, watered by na- vigable rivers, yet it produces not the gold of Ophir, neither has it mines like those of Goleconda, Mexico, or Peru.
The lands of Eastern America, being poor and generally worn out, they have no doubt contemplated to live on the fat of our fertile soil without paying us a just equivalent in return, and calculate to drive more solid benefits from our coun- try than from the hard labour of their numerous negro slaves. Hence it be- comes more necessary to secede from the union, unless she abandons her politics that it was for the United States to re- volt from Great Britain.
The interests of France, Spain, and Western America, would go hand in hand, and they, (France and Spain) would studiously promote our commercial pro- sperity, for their own advantage.
But it is to the advantage of Eastern America to keep us under the hatchet, by having our foreign trade cramped as afore said. And all this false parade, feint marches, and pretended stir, which our eastern politicians have made for the procurement of a free trade for us, is only to amuse us, to prevent a dismem- berment of the Union. Like sailors on sea throwing out a tub to a shoal of whales to draw their attention from the ship. It is said by some stale, cold blood- ed politicians, “Let us patiently wait until we have a balance of power on the west side of the Allegany Mountain, and then we can fix matters better.” Inan- swer, I reply, that if we wait for that ‘twill not come to pass in my time; so I don't care whether it ever comes to pass. For as to my progeny (if a se- cession from the union does not take place shortly, or the politics of Eastern America should not change very much) I shall debark with them on the Spanish shore. For I had rather bow the knee to the Spanish Monarch, wear a cruci- fix, and kiss the Pope's face, than to be any longer a subject of Eastern Ameri- ca, under the disadvantages above stat- ed.
In support of my jealousies of our east- ern fraternity, let me now call the at- tention of my countrymen to a very suspicious circumstance.
Our executive has pitched on the same man (Monroe, of detested memory) as envoy extraordinary to the courts of France and Spain, to negotiate for the opening of the Spanish ports for us; the same man is chosen for this important mission, who has already proven himself so inimical to this our western country. We have now every reasonable hope, in- deed, from the Negotiations of him, for the opening of the ports, who no long- er ago than March, 1795, refused the acceptation of the Floridas from selfish and clandestine motives. If we may judge of the future by the past, we must seriously suspect, that his mission will
turn out nothing, as the executive in- tended it when he made choice of him.
Although this talk may appear as fa- citious to some, still it is my opinion, and I think time will prove it. For there is no such thing in nature as a dis- interested patriot. It is a mere chimera! the puerile fancy of a poet's brain!!
A country is (as Voltaire expresses it) composed of many families, and as self- love generally leads us to stand up for and support our particular families, when a contrary interest does not intervene; so, from the like self-love, a man stands up for his town or village, which he calls his native home.
The more extended this native home is, the less we love it, for a division weakens love: It is impossible in nature to have a tender love for a family so numerous and distant as scarce to be known.
The candidate amidst his ambitious intrigues to be chosen president, vice- president, governor, senator or represen- tative, makes a noise about his love for his country, whereas it is only himself that he loves. Every one is desirous for securing to himself that freedom and pre- eminence which is denied to his neigh- bor or the community at large. I now appeal to every Western American, if the facts which I have stated, are not too glaring to escape our notice.
Eastern America may no longer at- tempt to lull and sooth us with her ty- ren songs of friendship and amity. No more may her harps which she may now hang on the willows, vibrate on the or- gans of our ears, the amusive and de- ceitful strain of “peace on earth and good will towards us.” No more can we chant to the sound of her viol the sprightly pastoral airs of the “shepherd's wedding,” and “the highway to Dub- lin.” But she must expect, except she renounces her selfish political system, to hear in her turn, the tunes called Vive la, and the Mar-seilles Hymn, and other strains of martial music, until Western America becomes a distinct province or empire, and the Allegany the line. For as she would not accept of territory when it was offered to her, she ought not to grieve much at the loss of territo- ry.
I forbade that her long farce of “this tale of a tub,” to amuse and inveigle us, to prevent a secession from the genera- l-government, will be succeeded by a mili- tary tragedy. Magazines will be filled, arms brightening, cannons roaring, and human blood streaming.
'Tis not by sending Monroe to Euro- pean courts to negotiate—'tis not by re- presentation in Congress, (for there are opposite interests) and a large balance of power against us) nor by any length of time that we may patiently wait, for that will procure to us a free commer- cial intercourse with foreign powers, without our own local internal exertions. It must be first, by the spirited remon- strances to be sent to congress, from the people of the states of Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee, and the Indiana and Mississippi territories, praying for inde- pendence. And then if we obtain it, we can send our own ambassadors to foreign courts, and make our own ne- gotiations or attach ourselves to some other more friendly power, should we conceive it to be to our own interest. And adly, and lastly, as the last resort, (should our petitions be spurned) let the general government at defiance, and es- tablish ourselves into an independent dis- tinct republic. And should we experi- ence any weakness on our part, we can recollect that France is strong. And we can know that it is better to have a friend for a masher (if (if we are from our weak- ness must be masherif) than an enemy. This is blunt, plain talk, adapted to any capacity, and no man can be so blind as not to see the force of my ob- servations. I am actuated from the purest motives —the love of my country, and myself, and detestation for oppression. I am attached to my native home, but have very little veneration for native rulers, the Eastern Americans; as I conceive they are inimical to our prosperity and happiness. I do despise them and their policies, most sincerely. They have hoodwinked us, and kept us in such ignorance, that they have hitherto turned our enmity towards France and Spain, instead of themselves. But I hope that we begin to get a little more enlighten- ed; and when the western thunder be- gins to roll we may know where to di- rect the bolt.
A WESTERN AMERICAN. March 2d, 1803.
We now return to the original plan of the conspirators, viz: an alliance with Spain; upon which the following letter from Doctor Brooks, a member of the convention at Danville, in 1788, to a friend then in Virginia, throws some light and corroborates those charges which we have already stated.
Fayette, October 25th, 1788.
DEAR SIR, Since your departure, our politics have taken a turn; many artifices have been practiced to uphold a sinking cause, but all will not do. I need not make any ob- servations upon the conduct of your coun- trymen, as I suppose you will be better informed by others. After the delib- erations of our convention, it is currently reported here that Captain Johnson was converted to be a separatist by the ar- guments of Col. M'Dowell. The press has been strongly guarded by devouring Cerberuses; and the poor man who ven- tured to display his talents under the name of a Cornplanter, has been re- warded in the usual volleys of ill lan- guage and private history. On the Fri- day preceding our election, a meeting of militia officers was held, and from a court martial it was transformed into an electioneering council. The motive to their political consultation, was that it had been spread abroad that a violent at- tempt would be made by the mal con- tents, to prevent the intended election. At this august meeting, it was proposed to instruct the representatives for the

country in such a manner as to prevent an abuse of power by striking out the words "from the resolves of conventions," repealing the organization of the new government; and some private declarations from a general officer who spoke some time, satisfied several good souls that all would be right. It was therefore agreed that the following instructions should be given as the voice of the county. "Gentlemen, we the independent electors of Fayette county, reposing special trust and confidence in your wisdom, integrity, and attachment to the well of this district, have appointed you to represent us in a convention to be held at Danville, on the first Monday in next month, with authority to take such measures for obtaining admission of the district as a separate and independent member of the United States of America, and the navigation of the Mississippi, as may appear most conducive to those important purposes; and also to form a constitution of government for the district. Thus by changing only what you will, for what you please, these six propositions had the fortune to reconcile a small number. Then a ballot was taken for five names who should be recommended and pushed among the people at the public election. The happy names were Wilkinson, Wallace, and Ward; to which were added to save appearances of moderation, and secure success to the names of Scott and Johnson; so strange was the effect of this conciliatory scheme that a particular friend of mine, who was honored with a vote, was much offended at me for declaring to him, that their resolves contained the principles of rebellion; and assured me that if I should talk in that manner at court, I should get a broken head. However I was much pleased to see a great displeasure prevailing on court day, and was not backward in setting the conduct of our great men in a proper light. So general was the ill humour, that they did not venture to open the polls till late in the evening, when the crowd was much thinned. But after all the people were so obstinate or so convinced of their duty, that only one of the balloted patriots, could pull himself in, after taking extraordinary pains, on Saturday especially to disclaim all inclination to violent measures, and proclaim a great alteration of his political opinions. Col. Muter, has acted a noble part; he has published his opinion, with his name; and the Independents have dropped into insignificance. The members for next convention stand thus: Thos. Marshall, George Muter, Jos. Crockett, Thomas Allen, James Wilkinson. Judge Wallace it is said declares that seven years hence the people will be convinced that he and W. have been in the right.
Your old neighbor has lately bursted with all the contents of his spleen, from the press, reflecting upon the magistrates as purjured, and reproaching the militia for doing their duty. It would have been very serviceable to the community if he had been speeded to the jail or effectually silenced when he cursed the congress. However he has fallen so low in the public esteem that few condescend to take offence at any thing he does. He is happily void of feeling himself, and his power will never be formidable in Kentucky. Our member of congress seems much out of humour that he has been so little attended to in the oracular way. They seem to think congress sincere notwithstanding all be basely written to the contrary. People talk of having no election in some counties; but I suspect a convention will meet and present another address to the legislature. The independents asserted that six votes in a county would be sufficient to constitute representatives, and there was not any other method to deal peaceably with them but to vote in men who were attached to the government. It may be in the power of the legislature to protract the period of the separation or prevent many of the evils which might attend it in a hasty course.
Having nothing more of a serious nature to communicate, I must bid you adieu and subscribe myself, Sir, Your sincere friend, EBENEZER BROOKS. (To be continued)

We give the following extract, without touching its correctness, or believing it ourselves. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Nicholas county, dated 28th September. "Col. Burr has engaged every shipwright at Marietta, at double tides, and high wages, to build 15 gun-boats, to row 32 oars—and a schooner of 120 tons, to draw only five and a half feet water, for an expedition to—where, is the question."
Extract of a letter from N. Orleans dated Sep. 3, 1806. "Dispatches passed Fort-Adams from the War-Office for the commandant at Natchitoches a few days ago. The Spaniards in the neighborhood of Natchitoches are ready for battle, and all the troops except a single company, have left Fort-Adams for the former post. And if the Spaniards do not give back, we certainly shall make them know what the bravery and valour of American freemen can achieve. There is I am told a letter in this city from Paris, of June 2d, which lays we shall not get the Floridas by purchase; we must then have them by other means, less agreeably to our government, but which will have the effect of rendering it more respectable in the eyes of those vassals who inhabit part of that country. "The city is at present apparently tranquil, tho' suspicions are entertained that all is not tranquil...many new Spanish faces are seen since the disturbances at Natchitoches. But I apprehend no danger."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Natchez to his friend in Frankfort, dated 9th Sept. "It appears that the Spaniards have resolved to re possess the ground from which they were driven last year, and are fortifying with a force of about 1300, and daily expect a reinforcement of 1000. Governor Claiborne is at Natchitoches, but we are quite ignorant of what he has done since his arrival. Gen. Wilkinson reached this place yesterday—He conceives that peace may yet be preserved, but declares that if the Dons do not immediately retire beyond the Sabine, there can be no other alternative than a battle. For my own part, I think that this country is but illly prepared for an invasion—we cannot muster more than 600 effective regulars, and few militia can be spared, and they are certainly by no means formidable. Gen. Wilkinson will leave town to-morrow, and expects to reach Natchitoches in five days. We shall soon know the issue of all these alarms."
Extract of a letter from A. B. Magruder, esq. to Editor, dated "Opelusas, 16th Aug. 1806."
"I have just received a letter from Dr. John Sibley, Superintendent of Indian Affairs, dated Natchitoches, 8th August, stating, that in consequence of the late movements of the Spaniards in that quarter, he was apprehensive of considerable derangement in our Indian relations towards the west; that a detachment of Spanish troops, had cut down and carried away, the flag of the United States, that had been hoisted in the Cadouche town, had overrun and menaced several other Indian tribes, and ordered them all to have no intercourse with the Americans. The letter additionally states, that the Spaniards had advanced within four or five leagues of Natchitoches, and that they had pursued, overtaken and ordered back a party of men that had been sent out under the authority of the President of the United States to explore the source of the Red River. It concludes by stating the Spanish force in the neighbourhood of Natchitoches to be about one thousand men, and that accounts had arrived from San Antonio, that a considerable number more, were proceeding on to join them."
proceeding on to join them. "I gave you my opinions on the subject of our Spanish affairs in this quarter, some short time since, and I perceive nothing, amidst every apparent symptom of alarm, to make me recede from my former sentiments. They were predicated on the idea, that Spain, jealous of the approach of her American neighbours, and pursuing the example of our countrymen, had advanced with the intention of establishing forts and garrisons on the frontiers of her dominions. The particular points where she had the right to fix those posts of defence, have been hitherto exceedingly doubtful; and whilst, perhaps, the Spanish movements have only resulted in a pacific policy, which never seriously meditated an attack on our frontiers, useless alarms of approaching hostilities, have sometimes been entertained even by men of sedateness and intelligence."
"It appears to me, that the attack on the flag of the United States and the menace made to the Indian tribes, proceed from resentment towards those savages, for the strict and distinguished partiality they appear to have entertained towards the Americans, since the cession of Louisiana. The Indians immediately on our borders, were always better friends to the French, than to the Spaniards; and now that the former have become American citizens, there seems to be a double inducement for them to cultivate the friendship of both French and Americans, and to perpetuate their indifference towards the Spaniards. This disposition, it is evident, has excited the animosity of that jealous people."
With respect to the expedition to explore the Red River, being impeded, nothing less, from the nature of it, could have been expected. It seems that its object was to penetrate to the source, which it is tolerably well understood, exits far within the acknowledged boundaries of the Spanish dominions. Should this be the case, the right of government to extend it so far, will be disputed, on a well known principle of the Laws of Nations. Thus, an attack on the Indians, and on the exploring party, in the first case, from resentment towards those people, and in the second place, from impressions that the rights of sovereignty were violated by our government, do not combine to manifest any positive intention on the part of Spain to go to war with the United States. Besides, when nations go to war, they always calculate on something effective to result from the measures they pursue. How does the case stand in the present affair?
The government has five hundred effective troops at Natchitoches, well disciplined and prepared for active service. To the East of this point, the Spaniards are presented with a numerous population as far as the shores of the Mississippi; and beyond them with all the means of exterminating an invading army from the west, in the abundant resources of the lower country. On the other hand, a troop of a thousand men, has been stationed on our borders, composed of a miserable rabble, enervated by long inaction and the chilling influence of their government, which is calculated to debase its subjects to slaves, but not to elevate them to become the formidable instruments of war. Behind them to the west, the Spaniards are presented with a dreary waste of sixteen days journey to San Antonio, the nearest point, from whence, they can either gain soldiers for the army or provisions to supply it. Under this aspect of things, is it to be presumed, that the Spaniards can calculate on success in any hostile attempts on our frontier? When nations go to war, the mind of an observer very naturally enters into the estimate, which the conflicting parties make of the chances of success in their different operations. It is apt to look for something rational, or at least probable, in the result of measures. Upon this occasion, the chances on the part of the Spaniards are so unfavourable, that we are naturally induced to believe ourselves deceived when we entertain for one moment a single idea as to their hostile intentions.
Whilst I perceive nothing to make me believe, that the movements of the Spaniards are of a hostile nature other reasons, independent of those already suggested, induce me to think that their operations are altogether defensive. They have heard of the story of Miranda's expedition to attack their dominions in South America; and they have heard, however false and ungrounded the calumny,
that our government had given its sanction to the measure. Whilst they are under the influence of the delusion, it is natural for them to believe, that their country would be invaded by the Americans, and it is of course, equally natural, that they should prepare for a defence of it, at the most vulnerable points. In our reflections on this subject, it is rational to devote something to the side of Spanish jealousy.
General Wilkinson has been expected, for some time, at Loftus's Heights. It is presumed that he has been induced to come down, by the posture of our Spanish affairs to the west. The Governor of this territory passed on through Opelusas, some short time since, to hold a conference with him. The longer I reside in this beautiful country, the more I am pleased with it. I have not had one hour of sickness since I arrived in Louisiana; and whilst we seldom hear of any kind of disease, to hear of a death, seems to produce the same shock to the feelings which we experience in our infant years, upon such occasions, before time and acquaintance with life, had destroyed the finer sensibilities of our nature. What evil genius, in the malignity of its temper, could have denounced these charming retreats of health and longevity, as the abodes of pestilence and death! Yet, this has been the case. Lower Louisiana has been said to be the Grave-Yard of the Americans; whilst the truth is, that human life here, in many instances, is spun out to an amazing span, enjoying to the last, many of the invigorating impulses of youth, and declining gradually to a close, without the torture of pain, or the imbecility of a helpless decrepitude. It is natural that this should be the case; the climate is susceptible of no extraordinary fluctuations of weather; it is neither excessively warm or rigorously cold; but mild, soft, temperate and refreshing beyond description, giving a gentle circulation to the blood through every part of the seasons, and to the feelings a mild and benevolent tranquillity, which keeps the wayward passions under due controul without any extraordinary efforts of reason to restrain them. It is this agreeable operation of climate upon the human temper, that has been proved to be most favourable to a long and happy existence in all countries where the case occurs.
Having given some short sketches of the advantages of this part of our dominions, in former letters, I shall conclude by observing, that there is no part of America where Mechanics of every description, almost, are so much wanted as in this country. Shoe-makers, Tailors, Curriers and Tanners, Saddlers and House-joiners particularly could not fail to do extremely well here. Every kind of material are procured at home, and upon the easiest terms. Living is remarkably cheap, and the means of acquiring property immediate, easy and advantageous.
BUCKLEY'S FERRY. THE subscriber having become proprietor of the Ferry on the Kentucky river, formerly known as Kirkham's, & lately Foster's, takes this method of informing his friends & the public at large, that he has a new and excellent Boat. The cliffs are cut down and excellent roads on them, so as to render a passage to and from the river easy and convenient for carriages, wagons and persons on horse-back. There are good roads leading to and from his Ferry in different directions. It may with truth be asserted, that it is the nearest and best route from Lexington, its neighbourhood, and the upper counties for carriages, wagons, &c. travelling to Shelbyville, the Licks, Louisville, Gander Town, or Bairdstown. The route from Lexington will be as follows:
To Versailles 12 miles. To the Ferry 5 To the forks of Benson 10 where the road from Frankfort to Shelbyville is intersected. Constant attention will be given at the Ferry, where will be kept a constant and plentiful supply of corn, hay and other forage for waggoners and travellers. Jeremiah Buckley. September 22, 1806. N.

The road is to be made and completed by the first day in October in the year 1807, and the work is, in all respects, to be done to the approbation of Return Jonathan Meigs, esq. or Thomas Wright, esq. agent for the United States, residing in the Indian countries. In making the same the following rules are strictly to be observed,
1st. The road must be made at least 20 feet wide, and all the timber and under brush to be taken off for that distance. 2d. All marshy places are to be causewayed, and all causeways are to be at least ten feet wide. 3d. All streams under forty feet in width, not fordable at their common winter tide, are to be bridged, by good secure bridges, well built and made safe and secure for passage, the bridges to be at least twelve feet wide. 4th. A tree shall be laid across all larger streams where the breadth of the stream does not exceed the length of any tree, to be found within half a mile of the place.

NOTICE. WHEREAS on the 19th day of February 1780, Martin Hammond enters four hundred acres of land, by virtue of a certificate, lying on a small creek that runs into Licking, about ten or twelve miles above the upper salt springs, known by the name of Flat Creek, in Montgomery county, about three quarters of a mile above where a buffalo path crosses the creek, including some improvements made by William Lynn and Co.

BLUE DYING TO PERFECTION. I WILL colour cotton, linen or woolen, with a hot dye, and will warrant it to keep its colour—and because of the scarcity of cash, I have made my arrangements so as to enable me to take for pay, the following articles; corn, flour, meal, bacon, hemp, flax, country linen, and a variety of other articles. 'Tis hoped no one will ask credit, as I shall keep no book, it will be necessary payment should be made when the truck is taken away. HUGH CRAWFORD, Main street, corner of Main Cross-street.

"TO SOAR ALOFT ON FANCY'S WING." A New Translation of the 12th ODE of Horace.  TO JUPITER.
What man, what God, will heavenly Clio sing Or to the warbling lute or vocal string? What name may mimic Echo bear O'er Pindus' clear melodious air?
Charming, as down the stream mellifluous flows, The groves of Hemus, and her feathery snows, Where to his harp's harmonious sound Great Orpheus drew the forests round.
So moving soft the sweet musician sung With hollow murmurs all the mountain rung; The dying winds but gently sigh'd The list'ning streams forgot to glide.
Who first to sing? who, but Saturnian Jove! Who rules the earth and sea and spangling realms above Who heroes, men and Gods sustains Who peerless and unbounded reigns!
His bright ey'd daughter, wisdom well may claim, The next gradation of immortal fame A wreath to Bacchus, too belongs To Dian and her Virgin throngs;
Bright Phoebus sing, he gave the golden lyre! Sing to the youth who grasp'd the serpents dire, And Leda's wind-out-flying pair Who train'd the fiery steeds to war,
Beneath whose twin-born stars the storm sub- sides And howling rocks pour down their foamy tides The rolling waves now rock'd to sleep Bathe the green bosom of the deep.
What virtues next may claim the deathless strains, Or Romulus or Numa's golden reigns? Or trails of Glory Junius draws Or Cato dy'ng in Freedom's cause!
Melodious Muses, breathe your softest lays For heroes poor, yet great of soul, I praise! Camillus, Scæurus, Paulus mild, Each old in Virtue each in vice a child.
These Chiefs, with Curius and Fabricius brave A few small Cots and scanty acres gave— Still bright'ning, see Marcellus rise Like some young oak to greet the skies,
But like the moon the gleaming stars among Behold bright Julius lead his trains along! Immortal Jove! place next thine own Augustus' adamantine throne!
O'er the wide world may be with justice reign From burning Ind, to Thule's frosty plain Far hence th' encroaching Parthians drive And bid the golden arts of peace, revive
Great Cæsar leaves to thee immortal Jove! To hurl thy Thunders o'er the tainted Grove While all Olympus trembles round And all the spangling throng of heaven resound.
G. B.— * By this exalted picture of Jupiter it ap- pears that the Ancients acknowledged but one Supreme Being and of which all their sub- servient Gods were mere attributes.

STOLEN FROM the commons of this city, on Tues- day night the 30th of June last, three HORSES, of the following description: A dark bay, about seven years old, four- teen hands high or upwards, branded on the left shoulder H, the skin rubbed off both shoulders by the gears, and has a blemish in the left eye; newly shod all round.
A sorrel, between thirteen and fourteen hands high, three years old this spring, both hind feet white, a small star in his forehead, bob tail, and had a sore on the top of his shoul- ders.
A small grey, about thirteen hands high, seven years old, dark mane and tail, his mane hangs on the left side, and his hind parts in- cline to the colour of an iron grey; he is branded on the left thigh, but the brand is scarcely intelligible—just above the brand there is a deep scar.
The above horses were all in tolerable order. I have no doubt but they were taken to Ten- nessee or Kentucky.
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS Will be given for the apprehension and con- viction of the Thief, or THIRTY DOL- LARS , and all reasonable expenses, for the delivery of the Horses only. Samuel Terrell. Natchez, August 9, 1806.
