FROM THE WESTERN WORLD.
The Kentucky Spanish Association, Bland's Conspiracy, and General Miranda's Expedition.
[CONTINUED.]
The agency of Judge Sebastian in the company which dispatched Doctor Watkins to Madrid, has been noticed in the two last numbers. We are authorised still farther to state, that Judge Sebastian particularly urged that the memorial to his catholic Majesty should commence with a declaration on the part of the subscribers expressive of their discontent with the government of the United States. It was likewise the earnest desire of Sebastian that he himself should go to Madrid as the agent of the company, and at a meeting held by the members in Shelbyville, we are informed that his honor was appointed; but in an after meeting which was convened at Frankfort, the Judge was out polled and Doctor Watkins appointed in his place. In one of the meetings at Frankfort, his Excellency Gov. Greenup was present, but he did not become a subscriber, probably more from a suspicion of losing his two hundred dollars, than from motives of patriotism; for if his intentions had been patriotic, it was his duty to have exposed the combination, and to have informed the people, that there was a society formed by one of the Judges of the Court of appeals, for the express purpose of depopulating Kentucky, and colonising Spanish America.
We have directly accused Judge Sebastian as having had an improper connection with Spanish affairs, and with respect to the other Judges of the court of appeals, we can as positively declare that they were well acquainted with the nature of the conversations, which John Brown had with the Spanish Minister Don Gardoque; and although they may not have taken an active part themselves; yet in our opinion, their having a knowledge of these facts, and afterwards supporting the public character of the man, who was the treasonable agent; they merit both censure and punishment.
In regard to Judge Innis, we
have been informed, that his honor had intended a prosecution against the Editors of the Western World; if they criminated him. We have no hesitation of saying the fame of Innis as of the judges of the court of appeals; viz. that he was well acquainted with the machinations of Brown and Wilkinson; and that it was his duty as attorney general of the state to have noticed them. We shall be happy however, if Judge Innis would answer us one question. What were the motives which induced him after the appearance of the Western World, to hurry to Lexington, and withdraw several old letters and papers, which he had given to Mr. McGruder for the purpose of his compiling his history of the Indian wars, and which the latter on his leaving the state of Kentucky, deposited in the Bank? If those letters went to prove the innocence of Judge Innis, as we have been informed he has asserted; why has he not given them to the public? We would with the greatest pleasure afford them a place in one of our numbers of the Spanish conspiracy, which would much more effectually establish the purity and patriotism of his honor, than any prosecution which he might raise against the Western World.
As our information was not all before us at the commencement of the investigation of the Spanish conspiracy, we have not been enabled to write with that arrangement which ought to characterize a regular history; but to sketch the principal features of the plot, and to detail the facts as they came into our possession.
The following is one which has been communicated to us lately. A gentleman of Scott county, having met gen. Wilkinson at one of the Kentucky elections, at which the General was a candidate, entered into a conversation with him on the subject of going under the Spanish government, having previously understood that Wilkinson was desirous of this important change taking place. He therefore took general Wilkinson aside to receive satisfactory information as to his sentiments, before he would give his vote. The General after a little hesitation confessed his opinion, that it would be most for the interest of Kentucky to unite with Spain, upon which the gentleman from Scott told him, he should oppose him in the election. During the conversation, the late colonel Sanders came up, and attacked general Wilkinson in the following terms:
"General, I understand you are going to sell us to the Spaniards." Wilkinson endeavored to evade an answer; but Sanders having repeated the question in an emphatic manner, he replied nearly in the affirmative in the presence of the gentleman from Scott and several others.
A noted agent of Wilkinson was a man of the name of Joseph Ballenger, by character a desperado. This man was employed by him in various trips down the Mississippi, and in excursions among the Indians, but for what purpose, he and Wilkinson probably only know. We can however, in a degree, judge of the nature of his embassies, from the consequences which followed. In the year 1789, soon after the treaty which was concluded between the commissioners from Congress, and the several northern tribes of Indians; Ballenger was sent by Wilkinson on some business to the settlements on the north west side of the Ohio. A few weeks after his return, the Indians from that quarter, made an incursion into Kentucky and stole a number of horses. They were pursued by colonel ***** who after a pursuit of forty miles, overtook them, killed and wounded several, and regained about thirty horses. Those who were taken seemed to be perfectly familiar with the name of Wilkinson, and regarded him as the good chief of Kentucky, from whom they said they had received many favours, and with whom they were always upon good terms.
In the article of the Spanish Association published in the last number, the name of John Breckenridge appears in the article of agreement of Hall, & Co. but we think it is but justice to observe that Mr. Breckenridge is said to have been among the first that withdrew his name, and from a letter he writes to John Hall & Co. at Philadelphia, he seems to have joined the company solely with the idea that the sales of the Green River lands was a measure calculated for the true interest of the state.
The character of Hall is also fully defended by Mr. Breckenridge against a base calumny propagated against him by the Browns. Mr. Breckenridge in a letter to Messrs. Thompson of Alexandria and Smith of Frederick county, dated Washington 20th January 1802, says
"I became acquainted with Mr. Hall in Kentucky in the fall, 1795, which acquaintance was unreserved and intimate, and continued until he finally left the country, in the spring 1797, during his stay then, and after his return to that country a second time, in the fall 1798 often heard the subject of robbery aforesaid mentioned, but I do not remember ever to have heard a single suggestion or insinuation, unfavorable to, or criminating the character of Mr. Hall respecting it—such an insinuation would have made no impression on my mind, unfavorable to Mr. Hall, as it would not for a moment, have obtained the least credit with me, nor do I believe it would with any man in Kentucky of respectability, with whom Mr. Hall was well acquainted."
"In order, therefore, to refute the character of Mr. Hall from Calumny so unfounded, so far as it is in my power, I do agreeably to the request in his letter, address this letter to you, for the satisfaction of yourselves, or to any others on whom any improper impressions have been made."
JOHN BRECKENRIDGE.
FOR THE KENTUCKY GAZETTE.
FRANKLIN—No. II.
To the Citizens of Kentucky.
FELLOW CITIZENS; BEFORE we enter upon an examination of the proof, adduced against Mr. Brown and others, it will be necessary to compare the true characters of the accusers and the accused. The reputation of Mr. Brown, as a man of unblemished integrity, of sound and discriminating mind, and undeviating attachment to the Republican cause, can receive no aid from any pen. His character will bear the test of time and enquiry. Twenty years useful service, in the most elevated and trying situation, has convinced every unprejudiced mind, that Mr. Brown is surpassed by no man, in solid and useful qualities, and genuine patriotism. He does not possess that flexibility, and pliancy of temper, which, like the camelion, assumes every colour; is every thing to every man, and which eventually performs nothing. And daily experience teaches us, that a plausible and flattering exterior, too generally covers a heart, fearful and unfounded. His exterior is distant and reserved; but in our choice of a public agent, we do not seek for the empty decorations, and the fawning smiles of a courtier. We owe much to his unshaken integrity, during the numerous and severe conflicts, which our country has experienced. And it may confidently be asserted, that no Representative in the councils of America, ever possessed a more firm and uniform respectability, than he has, during the whole period of his long service. His enemies respected and feared him; his friends valued and esteemed him. On occasions of this kind, where accusations of an aggravated and complicated nature are exhibited, it is essential to justice, that the true character, uniform conduct & motives of the accuser, should be ascertained. For this purpose, we will endeavour to discover who are the real accusers of Mr. Brown. Upon an examination of the numbers of the Western World, we find, that Col. Marshall, of Woodford, was the grand depository of information; he communed with Connolly, and he instilled his precious discoveries and secrets, in the ear of the Executive of the United States. And we find some of the important proofs of conspiracy, in the hands of John Marshall, and other ramifications of this immaculate and royal family. In the several parts of our State, we discover, that the project of the Editors of the Western World, was known and patronized by branches of this family, prior to the late wonderful explosion; it had been brooded over by them, and the means of attack had been adjusted in dread conclave. To those who have had the opportunity of observation, the anxiety and industry of those people, are too obvious to be mistaken. They are conversant with all the secret operations of those arch-conspirators, and they are busy and loud, in their approbation of their hireling priors, and rejoice at the
pangs they suppose are inflicted on their victims. Let us then in turn, drag this horde of calumniators from their hidden recesses; expose them to the light; weigh them in the balance; and if we discover their motives are impure, and their accusations malicious; let the awful sentence, due to false accusers, be pronounced—Depart ye vipers, to merited contempt, and let a guilty conscience gnaw your inmost souls, until you repent and reform. It is worthy of remark, that a detection of this pretended conspiracy, was in the power of the virtuous and immaculate fire of this noble band of patriots, for many years. But from some cause, it has been withheld, and we have been permitted to commit our most valuable interests, to those very conspirators. Would it not have been more proper, for those spotless gentry, to have disclosed the dark and dangerous designs of the conspirators, while the transactions were fresh, and susceptible of living proofs? Ought they not, like real friends to their country, to have risked their all, in attempting to drag the guilty traitors before the tribunals of justice? If they had possessed a spark of public virtue, they would, on the first discovery of the dangerous plot, have disclosed the information, to exclusively possessed by Col. Marshall and his family. Not by insidious attempts, to poison the mind of the Executive of the United States, against Mr. Brown and others; but by an open, manly, and candid exposure of the whole truth. But on the contrary, they permit this wondrous secret to lie rankling in their minds, for twenty years, until political and private views, they suppose, will justify the disclosure. It is by no means difficult, to discover the inducements of these accusers, to attempt the destruction of the characters of those persons, who are held up to public view in the Western World. It is a fact, notorious to every citizen of Kentucky, who has resided here 18 or 20 years, that Col. Marshall and his family, have been at variance with almost every leading character in the State. They have incessantly discovered their hatred and malice towards Genl. Wilkinson, the Judges of our Court of Appeals, the Federal Judge, and in short, to trace the effects of their malevolence, would be a task, disgusting in the excess. Mr. Brown very early became an object of their spleen, and they have never ceased to persecute and slander him. He was so unfortunate, as to be the successful rival of James Marshall, for a seat in the second Congress; even after a contemptible effort, made by Marshall, to injure his election, by the publication of this identical letter to Col. Muter, which had been procured by the most dishonorable means. But the result was, that Mr. Brown was elected by the most flattering majority. Another source of malice towards him, arose from the hatred the family bore to James Brown, who had caused them to fear and tremble so frequently, that they abhorred his very name. An additional reason, why those persons envied, hated, and persecuted Mr. Brown, was, that he is an honest man, and a found Republican. These then, are some of the motives, which have induced this patriotic band, to develop at this day, this latent and lurking conspiracy, which might, e'er this day, have destroyed the liberty of Kentucky. Let us for a time, leave this idle Spanish Association, and trace a conspiracy of deeper dye, formed and executed in many of its parts, by this selfish and Aristocratical family. To shew the avaricious and arbitrary cast of mind of those people; we must commence their history, from their original state of poverty and pride, prior to the appointment of their sire, to the immensely valuable office of surveyor of Fayette county. In the exercise of this important office, it is within the recollection of many of our citizens, the arbitrary and partial manner, in which it was executed. We can readily trace their numerous shifts, and contemptible intrigues, to promote their own interest, to the exclusion of others. By means of their illegal exactions, and their combined activity, in availing themselves of the discoveries of others, added to the undue advantages taken of many contending locators—an immense store of ill-gotten wealth has been amassed by this undeserving family. On all important occasions, we have found them opposed to every exertion of the people, calculated to promote the gene-
ral happiness; and as uniformly pursuing their private interest, and family aggrandizement. We found them opposed to our separation from Virginia; decided enemies to every effort, made for the procurement of the free navigation of the Mississippi; eternally embroiled with every useful character in our country; torpid as stones, during our struggles with the savages; eager after every lucrative office, particularly, where revenue was in question. We discover them uniformly devoted to every corrupt administration of the General Government; patrons of sav's execrable treaty with the British, and to fill the measure of their iniquity, the collection of the hateful excise, from the hard earnings of our industry, was reserved for this peculiar people, and their fatteners. Whether the collections made under so many odious circumstances, ever found their way into the public treasury, or yet remain in their private purses; is a subject of extreme doubt, and remains buried in mysterious darkness.
Having faintly endeavoured to depict the vices of the group; let us pursue them in detail, and examine the merits of some of the more prominent actors. The Editors of the Western World inform us, that the momentous correspondence between Gen. Washington and Col. Marshall, is now in possession of Gen. John Marshall, of Richmond, Virginia; and from this source, as the original fountain, may we trace the wonderful disclosure of this enormous conspiracy. This faithful depository has treasured this precious morsel of poison, that he might deal it out to the tools and engines of family malice, as occasion required. Let us then, carefully examine this Phoenix of public virtue, and see, whether he is in a situation to cast the first stone at the heads of our State. The first important act which we shall notice, is, the profound duplicity and real timidity, with which he conducted himself, during the memorable discussion respecting the constitutionality of the famous Alien and Sedition laws. Eminent as a lawyer, and a candidate for a seat in Congress, his opinion was required on that interesting question. But mark the duplicity and criminal caution, with which he managed his conduct—instead of a candid and explicit avowal of opinion, he evades, deceives his constituents, and procures his election. His opinion, if ever procured, was mysterious, dark and untimely. As a reward for his signal military achievements, he is created a General, and appointed by John Adams, to the ever memorable Embassy, distinguished by the very school boys, under the letters X, Y and Z. And as a reward for his defection from the cause of liberty, he is thus converted into the pander of a corrupt administration, and submits to be the disgraceful dupe of the subtle Talleyrand, two or three swindlers, and an abandoned prostitute. To complete the picture of political depravity, of this source of Federal intrigue and malignity; let us view him temporizing in the awful midnight moment of a suspension of the Chief Magistracy of the Union—and mark the half-formed project of substituting for the rightful chief of a free people, the ephemeron of a day. Recollect, fellow citizens, the dark and ill-digested temerity of fearful ambition, that was about to consign you to the horrors of civil war. The disposition existed; but the nerves were wanting. But the voice of the people, may justly be said to resemble the voice of God, when applied to the contemptible intrigues of private aggrandizement.
We will now descend from the exiting chief of this holy band of calumniators, to his humble, but equally malignant minions.
Recollect the man, who was opposed to your separation from Virginia, left the surveyor's office might be jeopardized—he who opposed your efforts to procure the navigation of the Mississippi—who, like the serpent in Paradise, held out the fascinating fruit for deception, pledged himself to pursue the known will of his constituents, in the Grand Convention of Virginia, and shamefully with the truth, abandoned their instructions.
View this man, passing through all the crooked mazes of Adams's administration, the advocate of Jay's treaty, and the passive tool of the great chief of diplomatic memory. This mock Senator of Kentucky, who, within the fatal six years of

his false representation, presented to the public view, not the will of his constituents, but the effusions of his own distempered head, and wicked heart.
This patron of the Editors of the Western World, may be considered as the keeper of the family Pandora's box. Devoid of every semblance of virtue, with a heart ranking with disappointment, and every malign passion; he early became the enemy to every man of worth in Kentucky, and has ever been an object of their most cordial contempt. This man, with talents of the most superficial kind; whose mental exertions may have produced an Ali-pam, or a collation of family labours for the bar; has contrived to preserve his dubious standing, by entrapping the unwary, and defrauding his neighbours of their land. It is he, who has defamed almost every leading character in our State; traduced our courts of justice, and pointed his envenomed quill against all, whose virtues rendered him formidable. To read the catalogue of his vices of this man, would sicken a heart, not steeled impenetrably by vice. And this is the man, who with his family satellites, that would deceive conspirators; that would make a stalking horse of public virtue, and that would fain stab the reputation of the well-deserving John Brown.

MR. BRADFORD, Sir—While the public attention has been engaged in perusing statements of Conspiracies, Associations, &c. until they are looking for some new object. A correspondent submits a few hints on the state of our Commerce and Manufactures, which if attended to, would doubtless conduce more to the peace and welfare of the public, than rumination over old conspiracies, or imaginary evils. The first thing that demands our attention, is, to consider that we are emigrants from distant countries, all brought to this state under the idea of bettering ourselves and posterity—we inhabit the finest soil upon earth, and enjoy a temperate climate and peaceful times, and have rivers and creeks sufficient, if attended to, to export all our surplus produce to a distant market. Thus situated, it would be but rational to conclude, that our wealth and population is increasing, our lands and navigation improving, arts and manufactures flourishing, and no complaint heard of the scarcity of cash. But to our shame—we are compelled to state, that the very reverse of all these blessings is the case. We find our wealth and emigration decreasing, public schools, manufactures, navigation, &c. unattended to, and a constant din is heard in every circle or assembly, of the want of cash. By our evil policy in lending off our cash, we are made to feel the want of it severely, and by continual sacrifices to obtain it, we are sinking more in debt. Unfortunately for us, we have no regular documents, whereby to ascertain the true statement of our exports and imports—a view of this would probably bring us to a sense of our state, and produce a happy change. Those who have thought on this subject, have concluded, that our purchases exceed our sales to an alarming degree, some think 3, some 5, and some 6 times. Some few years past, a western army filled our country with money, produce bore a good price, and trade was brisk—this invited numbers to emigrate to our country, who also brought with them their cash, and added much to our wealth. The first cause that brought the money being removed, it soon became scarce—the cash merchant soon found means to barter for it and take it off. Cash becoming scarce, emigration was soon checked, and it soon followed, that having no internal market for our surplus produce, which was made in such plenty, and a tedious distance to perform to a distant market, made that surplus of but little value. A decrease of price for produce was naturally followed by a declension in enterprise and industry, until we are fared as the most indolent people of the union. Horse jockeying and tippling is the chief employment. Since the loss of the cash from the army and my emigration aforesaid, a search has been made for some expedient to supply us with more. Horses were with tried considerable success, & the proceeds of them soon lapsed in the same way the former was—at present there is nothing offers to give us a further supply but the produce and manufactures of our land, and in order that it may be made beneficial, it is necessary that some measures should be adopted, which
would tend to ensure to the farmer a certain and good price for his labour. Banks have always been considered as the main support of merchants, as their cash enabled the merchant to embrace any speculation or purchase; but that a Bank would be the best means in Kentucky to give price to produce, is doubtful—the purchaser could not have time to make his shipments and receive its proceeds in 60 or 120 days, and would consequently be under the influence and subject to all the views of the Bank, or a call at the Bank when he was unable to answer it. Too much of our produce is exported by private individuals, who are unacquainted with navigation or trade—these are subjected to losses by navigation, and impositions in sales. This is produced by a precarious navigation & uncertain market at Orleans—the merchant choosing to sell for cash, rather than attempt the good of the community in bartering for their produce. Some few have undertaken this unpleasant business—but they get nothing but such produce as will not command cash, as the vice. And this is the man, who with his family satellites, that would deceive conspirators; that would make a stalking horse of public virtue, and that would fain stab the reputation of the well-deserving John Brown.

To a correspondent. "A Youth" is inadmissible. We would advise him to tarry in Jericho until his beard grows, and then come again.
COMMUNICATIONS. It seems the proofs which were promised by Wood & Co. are never to be produced—for who in his senses would bring suit against such infamous paupers, when he must know they have neither cash nor character to lose? The editors of the Western World appear to think that the expense of prosecution would be a thing of no consequence, when opposed to the satisfaction of proving them slanderers. This must be Wood logic—for, by examining their paper, as many proofs as paragraphs may be found to that effect, free from any expense.
SQUALLY APPEARANCES. By Mr. Robert Barr, just arrived from Orleans, we learn that the night before he passed Natchez, (the 24th August) Mr. Sharpe arrived at that place from Fort Adams, with information, that an express had just arrived at the latter place from Natchez, ordering all the American troops up to that place. The express related that the Spanish troops amounting to about 900 men, had crossed the Sabine river, and had approached within a few miles of Natchez, where they were encamping themselves. Communications had taken place between Col. Cushing and the Commanders of the Spanish troops, in which they related that their intentions were peaceful—that they intended no act of hostility towards the Americans; but expressed at the same time, their intention of maintaining their position, and the possession of the country behind them. It was understood that our troops would attempt to drive them off, as soon as Col. Cushing should receive a reinforcement; and it was thought that the militia of Louisiana would be immediately called out. No considerable anxiety was felt for some of our troops (about 150 in number) who were higher up Red River, as the communication between them and Natchez was cut off by the Spaniards.
Mr. Barr confirms the account given by Dr. Sibley, of Capt. Freeman with the exploring party, being stopped. By this day's mail we shall probably receive farther particulars. Our papers by yesterday's mail, leave no doubt as to the fate of the crews of Miranda's two schooners which were captured by the Spaniards—Ten, who are supposed to have held commissions, were first hung, then beheaded, and their heads exposed on poles, in the public places. The remainder (excepting four boys, whose fates were not determined) were sentenced to ten years imprisonment in the mines.
Captain Whitby, of the British frigate Leander, was challenged at Halifax by an American gentleman. He declined it by saying that his duty to his sovereign forbid it.
A Salem paper of the 22d August, states, that a considerable fleet, in which were five lines of battle ships, was seen from the central wharves, going into Boston, or nearly that course—supposed to be the French fleet, under command of Jerome Bonaparte.
It is with unfeigned concern, that we perform the painful task of recording the death of the conspicuous patriot MERIWETHER JONES, Esq. who departed this life about five o'clock on Saturday evening, the 9th of the present month, at the Warm Springs, in Bath county, in the 41st year of his age. This gentleman possessed, in an eminent degree, the qualifications necessary to secure both respect and esteem: a strong and brilliant genius, corrected and improved by a liberal education; a sound understanding, enriched by the works of the best authors, and an experimental knowledge of the world. His manners were easy and polite, polished by a constant intercourse with the most accomplished characters of his time. But it is not to external causes, that the excellence of his character is to be attributed. The native dignity of his mind, shed a lustre over all his conduct, so that those who were not attracted towards him by affection, were awed into respect, by his determined, undaunted courage. During the perilous days of the sedition law, Meriwether Jones withdrew from the executive council board, in order to exert more extensively, his copious talents, in opposing the encroachments of Federal influence, on the sovereignty of the States, and the chartered liberties of the citizens. Then appeared under his direction, the celebrated periodical print, called "The Examiner." Through the columns of this powerful paper, may be traced some of the energies of this gentleman's capacious mind. During the publication of this independent journal, Mr. Jones had in often occasion for all that courage, which so eminently distinguished him. He has frequently been com-
peled, by the violence of fashion, to attend to the arduous duties of his editorial office, armed for his defence—and a pair of loaded pistols was as necessary on his desk, as the ink-stand and pens. Never was the press more effectually used, to damp the hopes of an aspiring faction, and "to save a sinking land," than whilst in the hand of Meriwether Jones. To his honorable labours, as much as to any other cause, are we indebted for the elevation to office, of the great and good men, who at present administer the Federal Government.
In him there was no deceit; his friends and his country could always repose with safety, the utmost confidence in his honour. "What in his secret soul was understood, His tongue wou'd utter, and his hand make good."
(IMPARTIAL OBSERVER.) Bell's Weekly Messenger of January 12, (a London paper of about 10 years standing) says "The sale of the last number of the Weekly Messenger was ten thousand four hundred and fifty." It is sold for ready money at seven pence half-penny sterling, producing weekly about 3261 and annually 16,9521, equal to 75,340 dollars. The Star and Morning Chronicle are the most productive papers in London, of each are issued about 5,000 per day, 30,000 per week, 1,560,000 per year, which at six pence each is 39,000 or 173,333 dollars. In the United States, bad pay has ever proved the bane of newspapers, whereas an European editor as punctiliously receives his pay as a miller does his toll. Never have we observed in a paper from Europe, language bearing the smallest resemblance to what follows:
"All persons indebted to the editor of this Gazette, are earnestly called on to make immediate payment!"
(Providence paper.) The following is said to be one of Miranda's proclamations: "Friends and Countrymen, The glorious opportunity now presents itself of relieving from oppression and arbitrary government, a people who are worthy of a better fate, who ought to enjoy the blessings of the finest country in the universe, which bountiful Providence has given them, but who are shackled by a despotism too cruel for human nature longer to endure. Groaning under their present afflictions, they hail with extended arms the noble cause of Freedom and Independence, and call upon you to share with them in the Godlike action of relieving your distressed fellow creatures. Hasten then to join the standard of one, who has the happiness to call himself your countryman, and is determined to rescue his country, and to shed the last drop of blood in promoting an object of which he has never lost sight for a moment of his life.
There will be made a liberal distribution of land, at the expiration of a twelve-month, according to rank; and privates, from the instant of enrollment, will be entitled to provisions and cloathing, with a quarter dollar per day, as pay, not subject to any deduction. "And you, brave volunteers of the islands, who have nobly come forward to partake with us our honors, and to share with us our prosperity, hasten to follow those officers under whose care you have already been trained, and who are impatient to lead you on to VICTORY and WEALTH.
"The gulph that Columbus first discovered and honored with his presence will now witness the illustrious actions of your gallant efforts."
LONDON, JUNE 22. We are credibly informed, that a dissolution of Parliament is to take place on the termination of the present session. We are relieved from much solicitude on the subject of the pending differences with America, by an assurance from very respectable authority, that our Ministers, while they are inclined to do ample justice to the legitimate claims of the United States, are determined not to concede a little to the braggart clamors of their government. Should the bill for the non-importation of British manufactures, be persisted in, it will be encountered on our part, by measures of equal hostility. Should the right of search, (which can be denied only for the purpose of giving facility to the commerce of the enemy,) be resisted, it is to be enforced; the forces in our Northern Provinces are to be augmented, although we incline to think, they are at present, fully competent to their defence, and ar-
rangements are making, with a view to obviate, as far as possible, any inconvenience which might otherwise result to our islands, from the suspension of their accustomed supplies from America.
FROM THE MAIN, JUNE 10. According to letters from the Coast of Italy, the French are extremely active at Toulon and Genoa, in fitting out a flotilla, for the purpose of covering the army, in its passage from Naples to Sicily. Most of the English in this island, are encamped in the neighbourhood of Messina; and an English squadron, consisting of several frigates and gun boats, continues cruising off the coast of Naples. Since Marshall Massena has been before Gêna in person, the besieging army has been considerably encrêated.
BERLIN, JUNE 7. Meanwhile, the communications between Prussia and England continue to exist. M. De Jacobi is still at London. Prussia does not with war—and England makes it a situation extraordinary enough. The Baltic still remains free. Prussia has not shut her ports there against the English; and the latter commit no hostilities in that sea. (Moniteur, June 19.)

THE way to keep the money circulating in this state, is to encourage home manufactures. The rapid importation of many articles that the citizens of this state can make equal in quality and more durable in wear, has of late become a very serious evil to the inhabitants of this western country. In the single article of Ladies' Shoes, it is estimated that not less than 20,000 dollars worth is annually imported into Lexington—The subscriber wishing to lessen the inconvenience, has commenced manufacturing Ladies' Slippers at a very reduced price of six millings and nine pence per pair. The quality of his work, and the unusual low price, he is persuaded will secure him the patronage of a discerning public—Those merchants who have expressed a patriotic desire to encourage domestic manufactures, may now have an opportunity of sending their orders to Hugh Crawford, On Main street corner of Main Cross street. An allowance will be made to those who buy to sell again, and credit given if required, by giving approved endorsed notes, payable at the insurance office. ** Journeymen and apprentices are wanted.

TO THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL.
Elegance combined with Utility, in Willis's New Fashioned SHOES.
In ancient times the bards foretold, The rhyming trade would ne'er grow old— 'Tis true in these more modern times, Mechanics manufacture rymes; Murphy and Shaw have try'd their part To imitate the rhyming art, And Willis in these rhyming times Must surely weave a web of rymes. Ladies here I beg to mention, (Claimants of his first attention) Handsome shoes in every part, Is Willis's master piece of art— He shoes does make, which Queens might handle.
The neatly plain, the brilliant spangle, Improves new fashions as they rise, And makes some spangl'd shoes with ties. Coffack boots, and fair tops too, Made heater here than any shoe, With long and lizes well afforded, Made of leather, the best imported. All sorts and sizes well afforded, And strict attention there he gives, To orders sent both far and near, He'll fit you well you need not fear: Main-street, next door to neighbor Noel, Those who know this, possess a jewel; But not to make description faunter, 'Tis opposite Mentelle the painter; Adjoining the shop of Aaron Woodruff, Who makes you shoes quite good enough. To tell you this, my mind did labor Who'd not be friendly with a neighbor. If ladies send a pattern shoe, He'll make them neatly to fit you. Believing this the best expedient, He now remains their most obedient. RICHARD WILLIS. Two or three Apprentices will be taken to the above business. Lexington August 18, 1806.
