LEXINGTON, APRIL 5.
We have seen a letter from New Orleans, of the 10th March, which states that the Port would be again closed on that or the succeeding day—that it had only been opened for the reception of provisions; and no other articles were entered without being smuggled—that a trader from Kentucky, had been detected smuggling his cargo, and was obliged to fly with precipitation to escape the mines or calaboufe—that several Americans were confined in the prisons. The price of cordage is stated at five dollars per cwt. No other prices mentioned.
In the Gazette of the 29th ult. we published the account of Kentucky being in arms, from the New-York Herald. Want of room prevented our giving place last week, to some subsequent remarks from the same paper, which shewed on what authority the publication was made. We now insert them:—
Kentucky—The Citizen of this morning contradicts our report of yesterday respecting Kentucky, we have therefore thought it our duty, to give more particularly the authority on which we made that publication. It appears from the following notes:—
TO WM. HUNTER, Esq. Saturday morning.
SIR, I enclose the leading article in the American Citizen of this morning for your perusal, and beg you to favour me with such answer as I may lay before the public.
Yours, with esteem, WM. COLEMAN.
TO WM. COLEMAN, Esq.
I regret that the information I gave you yesterday, should have occasioned the remarks in the Citizen. I certainly have not circulated the report attributed to me, that "the state of Kentucky was in rebellion." I have only cautiously related information, apparently derived from a direct and authentic source. I left Washington early on Sunday morning; at that time there was no report current there, of an express from Kentucky. But on my arrival at Baltimore, in company with the Hon. J. Mason, senator from Massachusetts, a gentleman of Mr. Mason's acquaintance called on him, and in my presence communicated the intelligence, substantially, as stated in your paper of yesterday, and declared he had the information from the messenger from Kentucky himself, who was then in the house, (Evans's at Baltimore) and who had left Washington that morning. The next post will shew whether this information be correct or not. If it be an error, it will soon be corrected. At any rate, I only faithfully reported to you what I gave credit to myself, and what the circumstances rendered highly probable.
I remain, Sir, your's, WILLIAM HUNTER. March 3, 1803.
Kentucky once more.—We last week published a very interesting article respecting Kentucky, which we stated to be in arms. The fact was boldly denied in the Citizen, we appealed to our authority, Mr. William Hunter, of New-Port; and in a note under his hand, he confirmed the statement substantially as given. He in the same note mentioned that the hon. Mr. Jonathan Mason, senator for Massachusetts, was present when the information was given on which his narration rested. Mr. Mason has arrived in town on his way to the Eastward, and we have just left him, with permission to make use of his name so far as so say, that Mr. Hunter is correct in the material facts stated by him; that their informant was a Mr. Herbert, of Alexandria, an acquaintance of Mr. Mason, and a merchant of the first respectability. The gentleman told them that he had just left the messenger himself who was then in the house, and who added various other circumstances. He said no other subject was heard of or thought of in Kentucky; that boys appeared in the camp with labels in their hats and caps, containing War and no Democrats! that in short it was the old spirit of '76. Such is the information; we shall now indulge in some conjectures why it has not before this time become public.
The express delivered the memorial to Mr. Davis, to be by him laid before the House or given to the President, in his discretion. Breckenridge's resolutions had passed both houses, and the decisive step was taken, hence Mr. Davis's regret that the messenger "had not arrived nine hours before." Mr. Davis now saw no reasons for laying it before the House, and he therefore went directly with it to the President. What would be the conduct of the President? Most probably in his terror and amazement he sent for Mr. Brown, the senator, communicated the alarming intelligence to him, and charged him instantly to set out for the camp, and try his influence with the people. In the mean time the whole would be most cautiously conceal-
ed. Nothing is opposed to this conjecture, but that Mr. Davis, having lately turned federalist would not readily come into the measure—but it may be recollected that we prefixed to the account of this gentleman's late appointment of judge—A sop for the Masses. On the whole our belief in the truth of the report remains unshaken.
AN ADDRESS
To General William Henry, a candidate for Congress.
SIR, HAVING lived to see the reign of terror, under the late administration of John Adams, and with detestation, owing to the rapid strides that were made to enslave the free people of America; it naturally rouses me from that lethargic state, which is too common amongst the citizens of a free country, and make enquiry into the politics of those who offer their services for our next congress. When I take a retrospect of our national affairs, and see the demon of despotism conjuring up for our destruction, every thing that could be invented, in order, to have some kind of pretence to raise flanding armies, a navy, to enact alien and sedition laws, excise and stamp acts, I am induced to believe, that we are not yet out of danger, as I am sensible the same rhodomontade of designing men still live in this fair portion of the globe. But happy, thrice happy for the sons of Columbia, America has started from the dead repose, of despotism, like another Lazarus from the tomb, and glows with animating life and enivigating freedom. The republicans have gained a signal victory; the fabric of tyranny is overthrown from its foundation, and the genius of freedom stands triumphant on its ruins. Now general, we are determined not to trust a man to represent us in congress, who changes with the times, who is a something, a nothing, and every thing but the right thing; such a politician is truly despicable and is not worthy the confidence of a free people. Upon reading a news-paper entitled the Guardian of Freedom, I discovered a publication with your name signed; declaring you to be a candidate for congress, which is the cause of this address, had you remained in your domestic concerns, and lived a private life, I should not have troubled you, seeing you are a man, as I have been told that can bow to one, and scrape to another, and how do you do, to the third, and especially just before an election; all of which is very pleasing if it carried conviction with it, that it flowed from a sincere heart; but we are better taught than to let such airy bubbles, deceive us at present. But general, not to keep you too long in suspense, I shall now lay before you, some part of your conduct, which seems pregnant, with the doctrine of modern federalism, of which I with a specific and particular explanation. In the year '93 during the session of congress, the free citizens of Scott county, alarmed at the rapid strides of their official and apostate servants, in the road to despotism, convened agreeable to public notice, and sent a spirited remonstrance, accompanied with patriotic resolutions, to their representatives in congress; to be laid before the great council of the United States, which complained in dignified language of their oppressive, tyrannical, and unconstitutional acts; a remonstrance and resolutions, which breathed the pure essence of republican virtue, and will remain in the cabinet of the amor patrie, as a lasting testimonial of patriotic virtue and republican zeal. The meeting respectable, the number of citizens considerable, the business of the day commenced by speeches exhibited by two gentlemen of Scott. Were you one of those gentlemen? No general, you seemed to occupy ground, that day, that might have put in your possession a commission, if John Adams had been well informed of your station; which I don't doubt you would have thanked him for. But general, this was a time to try mens' bottoms; at this time the cup of national calamity, seemed to be filled to the brim; infractions made on our constitution; our liberty invaded; virtuous republicans falling martyrs in the cause of freedom, who were sacrificed at the shrine of federal ambition; what were your conduct when this subject was under discussion; a subject he most interesting that ever was exhibited upon the theatre of political events. At this moment you were seen in George-town, walking from the court-house where the people had convened, in company with two other gentlemen, whom I could name. You were in George-town that day. You did not participate in the debates; you did not vote for the resolutions. Can you explain your conduct in this instance into republicanism; or will you shew out like a man, and openly confess, that you lacked courage, to come forward & declare your sentiments, which at that time was favorable to the federal side. You thought general, I suppose, from your conduct that day, that you might find out which course the current was to run, and then what a coward would do in a battle, after flanding back, while the battle appeared in a doubtful situation; but when victory was gained, and danger over he would rush forward, and act the part of a wonderful hero. There would be no person so brave as himself, or do as many heroic actions, as he had done. But general

although you stood as a nought, that day, while your constituents were acting the noble part of freemen, yet before you left town after the close of the business, you could not help dropping a few words to a gentleman that removed the mask, which you kept concealed under, the fore part of the day. Do you recollect, general, of making your remarks, and excepting to part of the resolutions your constituents had entered into? If you have forgotten it, the man I believe can be produced, that remembers it. Do you recollect, general, a few days before this meeting, at your house, arguing favorable to the administration of John Adams, in company with two gentlemen? I am a person, general, that is in the habit of believing a thing to be a fact, when the person's own words and actions combine together, as testimony against him. We don't intend, general, to let your pompous parade in telling us you bore a part in the revolutionary war and that you would be one of the last to enslave us, blindfold us; but we intend to examine and see whether your conduct, or principles, since that time has been uniform or consonant to the noble principles that gave rise to that war. I expect some men that were called Tories, bore a part in that war, when they discovered it was this or death. I recollect John Adams and Alexander Hamilton bore a part in that war; but general, does that prove, they do not possess principles hostile to freedom? All those gentlemen, that bore a part in the revolution ought to have credit for their services, and the noble work they performed is worthy to be transmitted to posterity, and to be highly applauded by every good man. But general Henry, every good man that bore a part in that war is not at this time worthy the confidence of the people; an evidence of which is clearly manifested in the administration of John Adams. So that the question is not whether you bore a part in the revolutionary war alone, but whether with that, you have conducted yourself, since, as a true republican and a friend to liberty; whether when John Adams was about to lay the yoke of tyranny on the necks of Americans, you stepped forward in the very budding of it, and bore your part in trying to remove it. I answer you did not. And as this was the only time, since the revolution that freedom and slavery had to struggle to see which was to preponderate, and you were found to flinch or to occupy ground, which was enveloped in mystery; we have good cause to be very suspicious of your principles. But thank God, although general you would not join the citizens of your county in petitioning and reviving against those obnoxious proceedings of congress, which were like to be ruinous to our country, yet the republicans have gained the day, and are crowned with laurels of victory, and have fixed a man in the presidential office, in whom we can confide, so that we don't see the citizens broken down by taxes to support the expensive trappings of royalty or to pamper the luxury of an insolent nobility.
CODRUS.
AMERICAN NAVAL ACTION.
We have just this instant received advice that the American Schooner Enterprise , commanded by the brave STERRITT , and carrying 16 guns, has had an engagement with a brig of superior force. The occasion of this rencounter was, because the British commander would not show his colours. After a hard fight, the Enterprise was brought into a situation to rake her antagonist, which she did so effectually, that her opponent was forced to yield, after losing 60 men, killed. Captain Sterrett carried her into Gibraltar, where the British captain was treated with that contempt which he so justly merited, for concealing his colours.
Whilst we lament the loss of blood on this occasion, we cannot forbear remarking, that this is one proof in addition to others, that in courage the Americans are inferior to no people on the globe. [ Amer. ]
Some of the southern papers contain a marvellous account of an attack alleged to have been made on a British ship by lieut. Sterrett of the United States sloop of war Enterprise , in which (it is related) 60 of the English ship's crew were killed. The story is false in every particular but the following: A British merchantman being met off the Barbary coast by the Enterprise , refused to hoist her colours, upon which the Enterprise threw a shot across her, & still persisting in not showing colours, a shot was thrown in such a way as to indicate a determination to make her show whether she was or was not a pirate, and with success. The British skipper complained at Gibraltar of this act of compulsion, and received in return a severe reprimand for not showing his colours—but not a shot was fired into the ship and of course the sixty killed were mere men in buckram. [ Aurora. ]
It is reported that the Dey of Algiers has refused to accept the stipulated sum of 20,000 dollars, sent by our government under conventional obligations. As he Tories will no doubt discover in this circumstance something wonderful—worse the remainder of the
information in order to amuse ourselves with them hereafter. [ Id. ]
MAMMOTH PIPE! —The "Alexandria Expositor," mentioned, some time since, that a German, then in the City of Washington, but lately arrived from Europe, had brought with him a present for the President, a Pipe which cost 50 Guineas.
A very important, and no less singular than important occurrence took place at the Cape of Good Hope, previous to the sailing of the ship Portsmouth , which arrived on the 16th inst. and it is not a little surprising that it should not have transpired sooner to the public. We have it upon the very best authority, that although the Dutch governor was by capitulation to have had possession of the Cape on the 1st of January, the British troops had, notwithstanding possession of the place at the time of the Portsmouth's sailing.
The circumstances were these: The commander of the British forces had proposed that the Dutch governor should take possession of the forts and works on the 20th December.—As, however, the first day of the New-Year was at hand, the latter preferred postponing it to that day, expecting probably, that the festivity of the moment would give an eclat to his new government among the people. In the mean time the British troops to the number of 1600 had all embarked, except one company left on shore as a rear guard and to take care of the works till the Dutch, who were then landing to the number of 2500, should march into them. As fate would have it, however, on the night of the 31st December, a vessel arrived with despatches from England, enjoining it upon general Dundas, if he had not surrendered the place to the Dutch, to retain possession of it.
A great bustle immediately took place in the fleet, and early on the morning of the 1st January, the day when the Dutch troops were to have entered the works, the British forces were seen debarking with all the expedition in their power, and marching with fixed bayonets back again to the fortifications, of which they took possession, and kept out the Dutch. This manœuvre occasioned, it may be supposed, no small consternation to the Dutch governor, whose imprudent procrastination may be attended with the final loss of the colony to his country.
How far this occurrence may have connection with the recent declaration of war by Algiers against France, and be the precursor of a renewal of hostilities in Europe, is left to the speculation of our readers. [ Balt. Fed. Gaz. ]

DUBLIN, January 19.
A requisition of several magistrates of the county of Tipperary, has been made to the deputy clerk of the peace, to summon a special session of the peace, to be held at Clonmel, on the 21st to consider the state of that country, and the propriety of applying to government to have certain parts of it proclaimed, agreeably to the provisions of the Insurrection Act.
Our opinion that the disturbances in the South are only the effect of jealousies and provincial antipathies, common to almost every country, is corroborated by the following extract from a morning Journal, which is supposed some times to express the sense of government, and we readily believe in this instance does so.
"In our last publication we stated that the disturbances in the South arose from a mere contention among labourers, whether Kerry men should intrude upon the inhabitants of the other counties of Munster, or whether by force and cruelty that loyal and laborious race should stand excluded, and we asserted that if the noblemen and gentlemen of Munster would exert themselves, they could shortly put an end to those disgraceful outrages, which, from their inactivity, have too long been permitted to take place."
"Subsequent events have proved that we are right, for by letters yesterday received, it appears that in two counties (Waterford and Tipperary) the almost single exertions of Lord Donoughmore have been sufficient to restore tranquility."
A morning paper mentions, that "The Right Hon. Mr. Wick-
ham having signified his intention of visiting Limerick on Sunday last, to confer with the gentlemen of the county upon the state of it, it was thought advisable to postpone the publication of some resolutions entered into on Wednesday last, until after his arrival."
Another important communication from Paris is, that the King of Prussia cedes Neufchatel in Switzerland to the new republic of the Pays de Vaud; a Republic which will be as much a department of France as Savoy or Nice. Bonaparte finds every felicity in rounding natural boundaries!
THIS is to inform the friends of LINDE ALLONTON, a daughter of Jacob Allonton, who was taken prisoner by the Shawanee Indians, from Arvinton's station, in Kentucky, about fifteen years ago, that a Cherokee chief, named Tukerigar, who lives on Holston, and taken when about twelve years of age, as well as she remembers. Her brothers were named Jacob, David, Jonathan, and John, and her sisters, Sarah, Rebecca and Nancy. She is anxious to get to her friends in Kentucky. More particular information of the place where she is, may be had of Mr. Joel Scott, near Georgetown.
The printers in this state will please to publish the above, that the friends of the unfortunate woman may get information where she is to be found.
AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
ANY gentleman, merchant or farmer of character and good property, who is a citizen of the United States, has it now in his power to secure to himself the exclusive patent right in one of the most important and generally useful discoveries to society, that perhaps has been offered to the notice of the public in any country, and thereby secure in an honorable and highly useful manner, a splendid addition to his fortune. The leading objects of this discovery are, the preservation of wheat and all other kinds of small grain, by which they will preserve found and unaltered for years, impervious to the ravages of vermin and animalcule of every kind, now known to destroy them in such quantities. Secondly, the preservation of animal and vegetable substances, either in their natural, or a cooked state, (particularly in the latter way) by which those substances will preserve, found and unaltered for years, without danger of waste or diminution, if properly kept, susceptible by different easy modes of preparation, of bearing the transitions of every climate, and becoming an important object of trade, in the supply of our fleets, armies, and trading ships, as well as those of other nations, but especially calculated to meet a ready and profitable sale at the West India and Spanish markets. Thirdly, as a simple, easy and economical mode of encasing the food of sheep, horses, and horned cattle, by which these useful animals may be cheaply and abundantly provided for, against the inclement season of winter, and scarce one of spring. The farmers and landed interest are particularly interested in the speedy and general application of this very useful and important discovery; the interest in which will be disposed of on fair and honorable terms, without danger of fraud or imposition to the purchaser. For further information, apply to the subscriber, either personally or by letter post paid, addressed to him at Mr. JOHN BOOGS, Lexington.

THIS day John Campbell made oath before me, a justice of the peace for said county, that John M'Mullin and himself had a sum of money in a trunk, at the house of James Bell, in Georgetown; and that on the morning of the 4th inst. they missed out of said trunk the sum of eleven dollars and fifty cents, and that the trunk was locked when he left it, and locked when he returned, at which last time the money was missing; that during the time he was absent, he had the key of the trunk in his own possession; that he believes some person took said money with a felonious intention, but who took the money he does not know—And further faith, that whereas it has been reported that he suspected Robert Hunter jun. for taking said money, he does on oath declare, that he never did suspect said Hunter for taking said money—and further faith not.

IL PENSEROSO.
COME melancholy, pensive maid, And lead me to thy sombre shade, Where the yew and cypress grow, Emblems sad, of human woe— There within thy sacred bower, Let me pass the lonely hour. Or when the winds with dismal sweep Deform the surface of the deep; Lead, O! lead me to the shore, To hear the bellowing tempest roar— Or 'neath the pale moon's trembling beam, To catch the seaman's dying scream; And as I wander on the strand, To see his phantom shiv'ring stand— Or by the devious moon-light ray, To see his pale corse borne away, Far on the bosom of the deep, Where monsters fill their vigils keep— Or o'er the waters blue and wide, To view each argo swiftly glide— On pinions borne out far from shore, To perish 'mid the tempest's roar.— Meanwhile be there some forest nigh, Whose groans shall echo to my sigh, And sympathize with all my woe, As through its fairy shades I go; And let some lingering stream be there, To rouze the anguish of despair. Whil'st the dismal screech-owl's note, From some antient oak remote, Comes on the bosom of the night To chide the morn's intrusive light.
Come melancholy, pensive maid, And lead me to thy sombre shade, Where the yew and cypress grow, Emblems sad, of human woe; Then within thy sacred bower, Let me pass the lonely hour.
The bird of night 'mid shadows drear, Pours to the moon her plaintive air; The storm no more the forest bends, Behold the matin star ascends; Soon shall the ling'ring shades away, And the red East bring on the day, When noise and strife and busy folly, Shall haunt thee hence sweet melancholy.
Come thou lone maid, and with me tread The mournful mansions of the dead. O! lead me to the mould'ring cell, Where nature's children peaceful dwell; Beneath yon pile by ages crown'd, Where the lone night-bird screams a- round
In pensive mood, there let me stray, Far from the heedless world away; And whilst the pale lamp illumines The spectred mansion of the tombs, Let the loud church-bell ring sublime, To note the rapid flight of time. Or let the winds now rise, now fall, And plaintive moan along the wall— O whilst I rove this dread abode, Teach me to tread the devious road, That leads through Nature up to God.
Come melancholy, pensive maid, And lead me to thy sombre shade: Where the yew and cypress grow, Emblems sad, of human woe. There within thy sacred bower, Let me pass the lonely hour.
The moon's gone down, the shadows flee, The silv'ry fun tips ev'ry tree; And lo! the sons of care engage With mutual hatred, mutual rage, In conflict wild, by passion hurl'd, To scatter sorrow o'er the world. See envy comes with haggard eye, And in her train foul calumny. In dismal cave, or jagged cell, The kindred fiends together dwell; O'er human worth they cast the shroud, And veil fair Virtue in a cloud. And fee-advance in car of state, The rude, voluptuous, idle, great; That ne'er return affection's sigh, Or wipe the tear from sorrow's eye— Rob from the poor, and with the prize, On virtue's ruins seek to rise.
Pensive maid! lone melancholy! Lead me from this scene of folly; Bring on the sober night again, And with it all thy starry train; And as the night-bird sings its song, O let me stray the shades among. Sweet bird that chaunst't to the shade, Thy pensive, warbling serenade, The conscious shadows tell thy praise, And listen to thy sooth'ing lays. Hear'st with delight thy dulcet note, Half human warbled from thy throat. O teach me by some magic aid, Like thee to dwell amid the shade; And wander through the lone sequester'd grove, And sing of Nature with unceasing love.
Come melancholy, pensive maid, And lead me to thy sombre shade, Where the yew and cypress grow, Emblems sad of human woe; There within thy sacred bower, Let me pass the lonely hour.
