THE third position taken by the honorable Judge Coburn under the signature of Franklin, is, "that the Editors of the Western World, design to promote a division of sentiment among the republicans, respecting a successor to the President of the United States— affecting an adherence to the petulant and intolerant John Randolph, whose enmity to James Madison is to be made the engine of distraction to our country!"
That I have not now, time or inclination to look into the affair between John Randolph and James Madison— I have already hinted, and am free to confess, leaving therefore, that part of the subject to the management of the Virginians, and others concerned, who know at least as much of the subject as Judge Coburn;
Have not the public heard repeatedly this idea inculcated, that to charge the associates, was to divide the republicans; for it matters not upon the principles of his honor, whether the party accused be guilty or not, the accuser is to be vilified, the truth is to be testified, the enquiry suppressed, lest it should divide the republicans!
yet for illustration, to apply this "petulant" and "Palladium," for some conceited sop, the envy and malice supposition to general Wilkinson, months past; but particularly, is of which Judge Coburn is possessed, what are we to think of Judge Coburn, not this the amount of the argument, and you make just such a man as
What can we say of John Coburn, but that he is the meanest of unprincipled parasites. Will he deny that he has said that General Wilkinson had a Spanish commission? To lop off the rotten part, is the best mean of preserving that which is found.
third point? Which is that "the Western World" was established by a particular family, to divide the republicans. But is it possible that the people, the great body of whom I take to be real republicans, can be thus duped and imposed upon?
I shall close this paper with a little anecdote, characteristic of this selfish important personage, the legal Judge!
JOS. M. STREET, one of the editors of the Western World, has published against me a torrent of abuse, and used some insinuations which I contemplate noticing in a short time;
Although it is well known here, that the manner in which statements made in this paper are noticed, is to declare that they are entitled to no credit, yet at a distance where the paper is not so well known, its statements might be believed, if no notice was taken of their misrepresentations.
I deny the truth of every statement made against me in Mr. Street's address; his scurrilous and abusive epithets I despise, they are beneath my notice, I give them back to Mr. Street, he may stand in need of them on some other occasion.
It will be recollected that I am the author of "Independence," which has drawn upon me the united efforts in abuse and scurrility of Humphrey Marshall and Mr. Street,
THOMAS BODLEY. P.S. THE Editors of the Western World are requested to give the foregoing a place in their paper. Their ac-
count upon being presented to me, or to Capt. Dan. Weisiger in Frankfort, kw be discharged.

To the Citizens of Kentucky.
THE season is near at hand, when the Legislature of the State will meet in council, to make laws and devise measures for public good. While fitting in that capacity, would it not be politic, would it not be true wisdom, to enquire into the state of our commerce;

the interest in the plan; a plan is heretofore proposed to raise this extensive capital stock from the small surplusage of produce, now divided among the people, and in its divided state, is measureably of little importance, either to the individual or public; but when collected together, would be found fully adequate to the measure—this being done by subscription of shares, of 100 dollars each, in three annual instalments, in produce aforesaid, could be raised by the most indigent industrious citizen, without much sacrifice, and at same time afford to the wealthy, by taking a number of shares, an object of profit. This should be placed under the direction of one Merchant, three Directors, and ten Inspectors, so organised and arranged, as to prevent imposition, and not to become expensive, to be employed in exporting our produce to the best markets, and furnishing us from the like markets with such goods as we need. Here the interest of the farmer and mechanic would be drawn to the support of this system. No banking system would be needful to grant to this company their support, and subject them to their views or schemes. A proper regulation of our boating business, would supersede the necessity of insurance to Orleans, their general correspondence abroad would inform them of the best markets, and give them offers of the best prices by purchasers from European markets, and their holding so respectable a quantity of produce, and such a capital would enable them if necessary to seek a market beyond Orleans. What can we ascribe the difference between the prices of produce here and in the eastern states to? In Winchester, Virginia, 90 miles from market, they now give 75. 6d. per bushel for wheat, and generally higher; here we get 3s. and that on credit or in trade—where the carriage of a barrel of flour to Alexandria or Fredericksburg is 12s. 6d. and in time of bad roads 12s. 6d. to 13s. 6d.—here the freight, insurance, and all other charges on a barrel of flour to Orleans is not as much. The freight from Orleans and those ports are about the same, so that our produce here should be but little, if any, inferior in value to theirs. This statement, if correct, is certainly worth our attention; for if industry, emigration, good price for our produce, sale for our lands, plenty of cash, and the means of improving our country in learning, navigation, &c. is desirable, their attainment is the object of this proposed company. Shew the people of the eastern states that are labouring on their poor exhausted lands, that they can get rich and productive soil, good health, cheap goods, and as good prices for their produce here, near the boatable water courses, as they get 100 or 120 miles from their shipping ports, and who will be so unwise as to continue there. The plan is organized, and now ready for subscribers. And while the foregoing has shown only the good effects that the public would receive in the adoption of this plan, yet it may be farther shown, that the profit to the individual share-holder is not less advantageous. See the farmer at present, searching the country throughout for sale of his produce, to obtain a little cash to defray his family charges, or the mechanic enquiring the neighborhood through to sell a piece of furniture, or collect his little shop debts; while the farm and shop is sustaining as much loss in the absence of the master, as would amount to the sum wanted. In this company this would be entirely avoided, the farmer and mechanic could find the means of barter at once—the produce of the farmer would suit this company, for which they would settle with the mechanic for his work in merchandise, or payment of hands, or supply of materials; and while the farmer is industriously engaged on his farm in making a crop, this company is hunting the world over for a market for it. The profit arising on his share can better be anticipated by observation than calculated; suffice it to say, that he will share the profits now enjoyed by the merchant and exporter, and see his children placed upon a level with theirs.

FROM THE WESTERN WORLD. The Kentucky Spanish Association, Blount's Conspiracy, and General Miranda's Expedition. [CONTINUED.] No. XV. WE shall commence this number of the Western World, by the following interesting communications, from Simon M. Stockdell, of Cincinnati, whose correspondence with Charles Hunt, a noted tool of Wilkinson's, was published in the 6th number. Mr. Stockdell is a person of the most respectable character and undoubted integrity, and when in the army possessed the unbounded confidence of general Wayne, and many other revolutionary officers. For the Western World. CINCINNATI, Oct. 6th, 1806. "On or about the 10th day of November, 1795, Newman (the supposed deserter to the Indians on general Wayne's campaign) was liberated from confinement at Greenville. He was then going to start to the falls of Ohio, near which he had some acquaintances and friends; but he was afraid lest some danger should befall him, by the party with whom he had been connected in joining the Spaniards; or, that if he went down the river to New Orleans, as he had divulged the whole of the conspiracy, and had named the persons engaged in it, in his examination by gen. Wayne; he dreaded lest they would do him some injury, his situation being suspicious; he thought, therefore, he would retire to his friends in Kentucky, and set off for the falls of Ohio. After he had departed, gen. Wayne heard that gen. Wilkinson had made several threats against Newman. Being likewise apprized that both gen. Wilkinson, and his friends in Kentucky intended some scheme against Newman for unfolding the designs of the Spanish conspirators, he wrote to Newman, giving under his hand and seal a final discharge after his trial at Greenville under the date of the trial (which Newman had not taken with him when he left Greenville) in order that neither gen. Wilkinson or his friends could with any propriety, have him again taken and tried on that charge. "Newman was to write to general Wayne by me from the falls, and enclose what letters or other information he had obtained. If he had obtained none then, he was to continue so to do (in order to substantiate his own deposition) which could be got from several persons Newman was acquainted with, before it was made known to others, that the conspiracy was made known to gen. Wayne by him; otherwise Newman would not be countenanced, and therefore would not be able to obtain the necessary information in behalf of his own deposition, agreeable to the names which were then stated in the declaration. "Newman was desired to be careful of the parties with whom he had been concerned, and who had sent him to the Indians in order to defeat the army of the United States, which fact is mentioned in his declaration. "It was reported to general Wayne, the day before I started to the falls, that there was a boat, that had come to the falls of Ohio in order to trade, and that there were dispatches on board for gen. Wilkinson. "The following are gen. Wayne's orders to me: "Mr. STOCKDELL, "Sir. "You will immediately repair for the falls of Ohio, where you will find Newman, and deliver him this letter. You will receive some letters for me, together with an answer—You will enquire immediately after you arrive at the falls, if there is not a boat arrived from New Orleans, and what they have brought up with them—what their names are, and whether they have not dispatches, or some papers for gen. Wilkinson, or some other persons in Kentucky, and when they are going to return to Orleans. Return immediately without delay. Capt. Thomas Lewis will please to give an order to Mr. Daniel Harrangan at Cincinnati, for money to defray your expenses. You will meet me at Georgetown, in Kentucky, by the 12th December if possible. If I have passed that place before you arrive, you will continue on—you have not a moment to spare." "I arrived at the falls of Ohio, on the 10th day of December, 1795, and returned and met gen. Wayne in Fort Hamilton, on the 13th. SIMON M. STOCKDELL. The following letter which was written by general Wilkinson to Mr. Stockdell when at Fort Defiance, is a corroborative proof of Wilkinson's guilt:— "16th instant, "Sir, "I have been informed that you were sent to the falls of Ohio in December last—I have reason to believe it concerns me—I hope you will gratify me so far as to give me your intentions to that place—I have assured Mr. M'Dougal that you shall be well paid for the information—if you pay 500 dollars, that shall not be wanting. I expect an answer by Mr. M'Dougal in the morning. "I am, Sir, your's "JAMES WILKINSON. Mr. Stockdell in his letter to the editor, which contains this letter of gene-
ral Wilkinson, adds the following postscript: "George M'Dougal's verbal conversation at the same time he delivered gen. Wilkinson's letter, was—"The general told me you should go with him to the board of war, and have an appointment if you would comply with his request, agreeable to what he wrote." "S. M. STOCKDELL." From the foregoing it appears, that there must have existed a strong connection between the Indian tribes, and the members of the Spanish Kentucky Association. This connection may however, be more readily traced, by giving a general view of the origin of the several hostilities which arose between the north west Indians, and the citizens of the union.

PUBLICK NOTICE. I intend to remove my family from the state of Kentucky early next spring, therefore request all persons with whom I have any concerns, either as trustee, executor, administrator or guardian; or in any other manner whatsoever, to call on me for settlement on or before the fifteenth day of January next; as that is the time contemplated for my departure.

NOTICE. WHEREAS we made a contract with John Jordan Jun. of Lexington, bearing date, _____ day of April 1806, for a plantation near said town of Lexington, for which we were to pay in slaves and whiskeys; not less than 87,000 slaves, nor less than 2000 gallons of whiskeys, to be paid in Orleans &c. on the 1st day of May 1807, and the balance on the 1st day of May 1808, in the same way, before which time, the said John Jordan Jr. is bound to make us a clear and indisputable title to the aforesaid plantation. And whereas a certain Jacob Clair, of said town, holds a mortgage on said plantation, for 2540 dollars, a much larger sum than was contemplated in said contract, and for certain reasons which we explained to the said John Jordan Jr. we did on the 4th inst. call on him to give us security, that he would convey to us the said plantation agreeable to contract, or rescind and make void the same, notwithstanding we had progressed largely in the preparation for payment; but he refused, and still refuses to do either—We therefore give notice to the said John Jordan Jr. that we shall defer the contract, and leave him his plantation without ever possessing it, and to the public to take no assignment on the aforesaid contract, as we are determined to comply with no part thereof unless compelled by law, under the aforesaid circumstances. Edm. & Anderson Searcy. October 16, 1806.

RACES. On Wednesday the 8th inst. the great sweepstakes, ten subscribers, $100 each, for three year old colts and fillies, was run for, four mile heats, over the turf at Versailles—but three started, (the others paying forfeit)—Mr. John Harris's filly by Speculator, started by Maj. Wagnon, Mr. McDowell's colt by Speculator, started by Gen. Adair, and Mr. James Stepp's filly by Nestor. Mr. Harris's filly, 1 1 Mr. Stepp's filly, 2 distanced. Gen. Adair's colt, 3 drawn. They ran four times round for a heat; the track said, by those who made it, to be 1000 yards, and each heat was run in 7 minutes and 20 seconds, which, supposing the distance accurate, was the greatest run that has ever been made in this country. However it is supposed not to have been accurate. On Thursday the 9th, the subscription purse at Winchester, Clarke county, was run for. First day, 5 mile heats, 7 started. Capt. William Allen's brown horse Ditto, by his horse Ulysses, 5 years old, 1 1 Second day 2 mile heats, 4 started. Mr. Harris's filly, by Speculator, which won the sweepstakes at Versailles, after traveling 30 miles, 1 1 Mr. Hubbard Taylor's colt, by Speculator, 3 years old, 2 2 The others distanced first heat. On Wednesday the 15th, the Lexington subscription purse was run for. Mr. Alsup's grey horse, Bellona, by Cornorant, started by Mr. Banton, 1 1 Mr. Tebb's horse by Triumpher, 2 2 The others distanced. Second day—Mr. Simpson's sorrel horse, by Laboo, 4 years old, 1 1 The others distanced 2d heat. Third day—Mr. William Bowman's colt by Speculator, 3 years old, started by Mr. Banton, 1 1 The other distanced 2d heat. Fourth day—for an elegant Saddle, Bridle, and Whip—5 started.

Capt Howard informs that the prospect of peace had subsided—and that Mr. Monroe, the American Minister, was not to return to America till Spring in consequence of dispatches received from America.—And that Mr. Erskine, who was appointed ambassador to America, had not yet taken his departure, and it was uncertain when he would leave England [N. Y. Gaz.]
BOSTON, September 27. The Bomb Ketches Ætna, Lt. Jones, and Vesuvius, Lt. Leonard; with Gun boats No. 11 Lt. Bainbridge, and No. 12, Lt. Dexter, now lying in his harbor, will, we are told, sail on Monday next, for New Orleans.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2. The Marquis de Cassa Calvo and suite have taken passage in the sch'r Mindwell, for Malaga, and failed on Saturday last. Intelligence is said to have been received at Halifax that 5 sail of Admiral Strachans fleet had been dismasted in the gale of last month; and that several American vessels were met with in similar situations. On the 12th July, a Spanish fleet of 6 sail of the line, from Carthagena, was seen chasing two British frigates off that port:—and off Toulon, in July, a French fleet of four sail of the line and four frigates were seen just out from that port.
Our verbal information from Halifax states, that letters were received by several gentlemen at that place, from their friends in England, advising that peace with France was confidently expected by the administration; but that the measure was by no means a popular one with the people of England, who looked upon such an event as fraught with the utmost danger.—One of these letters, we understand, goes so far as to state, that Mr. Fox had fixed certain points in his instructions to Lord Lauderdale, which if not acceded to on the part of France, his lordship was to break off the negotiation, and return to England immediately. Capt. Liddle who was sent by Miranda to solicit assistance from the Governor of that island, failed from Port-Royal on the 24th Aug. in the Ferret brig, having been unsuccessful in his application.
Letters are received in town which mention, that Miranda was still at Aruba, exercising his men and issuing proclamations.
Capt. Dowdall, from Cadiz, informs that news of peace had been received there and rejoicings had taken place—but on the day before he failed, an express arrived from England with advices that the negotiations had been broken off!—his report occasioned a fall of the stocks of seven percent.
Extract of a letter from Liverpool, dated August 17. A message has arrived from our ambassador at Paris. The intelligence by him is understood to be such, that the prospects of peace are materially lessened. Probably the French government, having concluded a separate peace with Russia have risen in their demands. The funds have in consequence experienced a considerable decline. We were yesterday upon the point of dispatching the annexed price, current, when we received advices through the public prints and private letters that Lord Lauderdale was upon his return from Paris without effecting the objects of his mission. The accounts this morning neither absolutely contradict nor confirm this statement; the whole rest upon the impression of the public mind, which in Omnipresence is a reduction of full four per cent. P. S. August 18.—The accounts of this morning correspond with those of yesterday
LONDON Aug. 9. Reports were yesterday abroad, respecting the impression produced upon the publick mind in Germany, by the new constitution, which, if they could be supposed to come from any authentic source, or to rest upon any probable basis, might be considered of importance, and entitled to no small degree of attention. It is said, that the emperor of Austria has been called upon to accede to a formal renunciation of all claims to any pre-eminence of influence or authority over the German Empire; and that Bonaparte, in concert with the new Federative system has required his final answer, or rather his entire submission to his proposals on his head, by the 10th inst. On Thursday night the Spanish lugger La Buena Esperanza, of 8 guns, arrived at Plymouth, cut out from a port in Spain in the most gallant manner, from under the fire of a battery of seven 24 pounders, by the boats manned and armed of the Haughty gun brig, of 14 guns, and the Colpoys, of 16 guns, Lieut. Uther. After the boats crews had secured the Spanish lugger, the crews, seconded by the fire of the two brigs bravely landed, stormed the batteries, drove out the guard, spiked the cannon, and tumbled them over the rocks into the sea. All this business was performed with the cool intrepidity of British seamen, without any material loss on our side. The Spanish lugger is laden on account of the Spanish government, and is a fine vessel of her class.
The expeditions which have been embarking for several days past, are prevented sailing by contrary winds. We understand that the distribution of prize money, &c. of the captures made at the battle off Trafalgar, is settled, and that it has received the sanction of the privy Council. The widow of Lord Nelson, and all his relatives, are excluded, it being the opinion of government that sufficient has been done for the family. Lord Collingwood is to have the distribution.
TEN DOLLARS REWARD. RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living on the waters of the Town fork of Elkhorn, Fayette county, on Sunday night the 12th inst. a negro woman named PAT T. about nineteen years of age, five feet seven or eight inches high, slender made, has a scar I think on the upper part of her breast; had on and took with her a black bonnet, an old hat, a white ground calico habit patched with a different kind, a calico short gown, a white linen petticoat flounced, a blue do. a blue blanket sewed up like a bag, and a pair of the shoes of boots. The said negro I bought the 20th of last month, the property of George Beaufon, of Pendleton county.

TO SOAR ALOFT ON FANCY'S WING.  For the Kentucky Gazette. A new translation of the 15th Ode of Horace, or Prophecy of Nereus From which, (according to Count Algorotti and Dr. Johnson) Gray took his beautiful Ode, the Bard.—
What time the fair perfidious shepherd bore The beauteous Helen back to Ilion's shore, To sleep the howling waves were won By Nereus, Ocean's hoary son, While round the liquid realms he sung, From guilty love, what dire disasters sprung.
Thee, tainted Youth, what omens dire attend! Thy neck and Ilion's soon to Greece shall bend To man and horse what sweat and blood What carnage float down Xanthus' flood! What wretch on Troy shall Greece infuriate turn What glittering domes, and spires, and tem- ples burn!
In vain you boast the Queen of beauty's smiles Her charms, her floating curls, her amour- ous wiles, These, these alas! will nought avail While Cretan arrows round you sail! And, tho' the fates while such guilt may spare Vile dust at length shall smear that golden hair!
Trace back, vain Youth! sad Ilion's fate of old! Ulysses sons and Nestor's yet behold 'Twas he, and Diomedes' more dread Horrific war shall round you shed; Then, shall ye trembling, like timid deer When hungry wolves are howling in their rear. By promise Vain of Universal Sway Lured you from Greece the beauteous Queen away? In less than ten revolving years Achilles' dreadful fury appears! His blood-tinged Myrmidons dire Shall wrap proud Ilion's Domes in Grecian fire G. B.—K.
This Ode was undoubtedly addressed to Anthous, whom, enamour'd with Cleopatra, he proclaimed war with Octavius.
A late Author, in his works, gives the fol- lowing portrait of an American Woman; She is generally graceful in her figure, slow in her gait, mild in her looks, proud in her expression, quick at blushing, chaste in her thought, innocent in manners, improving on acquaintance, generous to a fault, ready to weep with one in distress, solicitous for the poor, sin- cerely religious, eminently humane, constant in her attachment, faithful to her engagements, a tender mother, tenacious of her word, jealous of her honor, prudent in conduct, circumspect in her house: and what is very natural cannot keep a secret.
A letter from Haddington, dated the 10th inst. relates the following remarkable circum- stance. "A young boy of this place, with some of his school-fellows, having frequently disco- vered an owl on the top of our old church-ste- ple, and not doubting of its having a nest there, attempted, by climbing the wall in the day-time to get at it, but his attempts proved fruitless. The impression, however, of such a precious prize being yet attainable, continuing to actuate the boy's mind, even in the most profound sleep, he arose in the night, ascended the gthic edifice, carried off the favorite ob- ject of his most earnest desire, returned by the window through which it appears he had sallied, placed the nest upon a chair, and went to bed. In the morning he recollected a plea- sant dream of a wonderful adventure, and was altogether astonished, as well as over-joyed, to find it realized, in the discovery of the owl's nest!—The boy does not exceed ten years of age.
