We stop the press to announce with sincere pleasure, the following Highly interesting intelligence.
St. Louis Sept. 23, 1806.
DEAR SIR,
Captains Lewis and Clark are just arrived, all in very good health. They left the Pacific Ocean the 23d of March last—they wintered there—They arrived there in last Nov. there was some American vessels there just before their arrival. They had to pack 160 miles from the head of the Missouri to Columbia river. One of the hands, an intelligent man, tells me the Indians are as numerous on the Columbia, as the whites are in any part of the U. States. They brought but one family of Indians, of the Mandan nation. They have brought several curiosities with them from the Ocean. The Indians are represented as being very peaceable. The winter was very mild on the Pacific.
I am yours &c,
JOHN MULLANPHY.
P. S. They left St. Charles, May 20th, 1804, and they returned there Sept. 21st 1806. J. M.
RICHMOND, September 10.
It appears to have been ascertained beyond a doubt, that the yellow fever has made its appearance among the convicts in our Penitentiary. Seven or eight have been attacked with the disease, one of whom had died. It has hitherto been a question, whether or not the fever with which our cities have been afflicted, was imported. The circumstance of its appearance in the Penitentiary, where there was no possible chance of its being communicated from any other place, proves most incontrovertibly that it is of domestic origin. No unfulfilled prophecy in the City at this time.—[Argus.]
The District Court met in this City on Monday the 1st instant.—Present Judges Prentis and Tyler.
On Tuesday, came on the celebrated trial of George W. Sweeney, on the charge of administering arsenic to his great uncle, the venerable George Wythe; P. N. Nicholas (attorney General for the prosecution,) William Wir, & Edmund Randolph, Esqrs. counsel for the defendant. After an able and eloquent discussion, the jury retired, and in ** minutes, brought in a verdict of NOT GUILTY.
A similar indictment against him for the poisoning of Michael, a mulatto boy (who lived with Mr. Wythe) was qualified without a trial.
On a subsequent day, he was brought up and convicted, on two of the indictments, which were found against him for the counterfeiting of his uncle's name to checks, drawn upon the Virginia Bank.
The pen yet lingers to add, that some of the strongest testimony exhibited before the called court and before the grand jury, was kept back from the petit jury. The reason is, that it was gleaned from the evidence of negroes, which is not permitted by our laws to go against a white man.—[ENQUIRER.]
The Editor of the Kentucky Gazette has hitherto avoided making any observations on the Western World on its Editors, farther than to inform the public that one of them was the noted John Wood. Even the crime of naming this one of the Editors, appears to be unpardonable; as they have on several occasions evinced, in the course of their several publications. The last number of that vehicle of scurrility has, however, gone greater lengths than any before; inasmuch as the Editor of this paper is directly charged (in the following article) with being a "prostituted printer to a treacherous faction."
From the Western World.
THE hiring Editors of the Kentucky papers had fondly imagined, they would have obtained the concurrence of
the Republican Editors in the Atlantic States, in respect to the Spanish Conspirators. But how extremely have they been mistaken! By the paragraphs which we have quoted from the Aurora, it is evident Mr. Duane feels convinced of the existence of the Spanish Association. Cheetham the editor of the American Citizen and Republican Watch Tower, of New-York, in the paper of the first of September, decidedly agrees with us. "I have however read and heard sufficient to be fully satisfied that it is my duty to lay the papers (which are numerous and long) before the reader. Many of the facts stated are undoubtedly true. I may hereafter illustrate such of them as are worthy of credit. Both parties, the accusers & the accused, shall have a hearing, for some of the gentlemen implicated have defended themselves, but I think not with success. General Wilkinson has certainly had, if he has not now, a Spanish Military Commission—Repub. Watch Tower, Sept. 11.
Mr. Bradford the editor of the Kentucky Gazette, however, deserves infinite censure for any of his typos brethren. They might have been misinformed; but this prostituted printer to a treacherous faction, can plead no such apology. He was in Kentucky at the very period the design of the Spanish Association was conceived—He was the intimate acquaintance of Allan B. M'Gruder, and the printer of M'Gruder's reflections from which we made some quotations in our last number, that must convince the most stubborn disbeliever of the existence of a Spanish Association. Yet possessed of all this knowledge, has Mr. Bradford frequently denied not only the existence of such an association, but has exerted his endeavors to impress upon the public the belief; that the whole was a fiction of the Editors or the Western World. Such deception—such hypocrisy—such want of candour—such depravity of principle, we think have never been exhibited in the columns of the most abandoned and desperate journal of faction, that ever issued from an American press. In the last number of the Kentucky Gazette, the article of the Spanish Association is omitted, and we presume for a very good reason. Hamiltonian policy and intrigue are too openly exposed in it, to be any ways palatable to the Bradford family. The slightest censure upon a real republican is greedily caught and re-echoed by them, but MUM is the watchword wherever Hamiltonian Federalism is attacked.
This hopeful pair have here erected a fabric of Gigantick stature to perpetuate the memory of the Editor of this paper, composed of deception, and hypocrisy, and want of candour, and depravity of principle ; but unfortunately in the present, as in every other instance, their foundation is falsehood, consequently the edifice must give way. It is well known to the readers of the Kentucky Gazette, that the Editor has never made one observation relative to the Kentucky Spanish Association. This was known to the Editors of the World, and yet with the most unblushing effrontery they exhibit the above charges.
It is true the Editor of the Kentucky Gazette has resided in Kentucky since the year 1785—it is true he was here at the time the Western World states the Association to have been conceived—and although he was too young to have recollected many of the passing occurrences—it is true that he knows the alarm founded by the Editors of the Western World, to be without foundation in truth . And he believes those Editors were induced to commence the publication of that paper by a faction for the purpose of causing a division of the Republicans in this state.
Had extracts been made for the Western World, from the papers which put no confidence in the falsehoods uttered by its Editors, a train more numerous would have been found in opposition, than in favour of the publication.—The National Intelligencer, The Republican Advocate, The Enquirer, The Peterburgh Republican and Intelligencer, The Salem Register, and a host of others, of the most respectable prints, have shown their disbelieve of the charges brought forward in the World. However, the Editor is not surprised, at finding many of the advocates of the Western World.—The distance they are from the place where those treasonable practices are said to have been carried on, puts it out of their power to know the falsity of the charges exhibited, and the boldness with which they were made, had great operation on the minds of superficial readers. But he acknowledges that he did not suppose either Duane or Cheetham could have been so easily gulled. To one of them he has been in the habit of looking for the most correct information, and deductions, both foreign and domestic, and he can but lament that his enmity to certain characters, should have induced him to swallow such a mass of stuff for truth, as has issued from the press of the Western World.
The Editor owes to his Fellow Citizens of Kentucky, an apology for this notice of the Editors of the Western World. Degraded, indeed, would he think himself, could he believe the assertions of the notorious John Wood or his associate, would tend to lessen their confidence in his integrity or republicanism. He still reserves to himself the privilege of replying when he may think necessary, to any proofs or arguments that may be brought forward in support of the charges they have exhibited against some of the most respectable citizens of Kentucky. But in scurrility, he yields the palm, and acknowledges himself much their inferior.
Letter from Gen. Poley, to a correspondent in Lexington.
Henderson, 15th Sept. 1806.
DEAR SIR, Yours of the 24th of August came to hand by the last mail. You inform me, that it is indutroiously rumoured in your part of the state, that I am called a Federalist, with an intention to injure me in my election.
Tho' many of my fellow citizens are well acquainted with my political sentiments, I have no doubt that there are many who are not, and it is those who are liable to be imposed upon, by rumours calculated for that purpose.
When a man becomes a candidate for any office, particularly one of importance, it is right, that his character, both private and public, should undergo thorough investigation. I most cheerfully submit my character to the impartial investigation of my fellow citizens: let them inform themselves of the truth, before they undertake to decide for, or against. No man is perfect, and I am sure I have almost as small a claim to perfection as any man.
If I know myself (which is a hard thing to do) I do think that my sentiments, and exertions have been such as to endeavour, so far as I have been capable, to promote the welfare of my fellow men, and the good of my country. What else could I have in view to bring me into notice, and to gain the attention of my countrymen? I was not born to riches, nor of what is vainly called high birth, or great family, but a plebeian; that keeping those things in view, my walk in life has been humble, endeavouring to give as little offence as possible, and to render all the good in my power. Whether I have been successful or not, in my attempts, is not for me to say, I leave that to my fellow-citizens.
If to have been a strenuous advocate for the adoption of our present happy constitution of the United States, bestows on me the name of Federalist, I confess myself one. If to support that unparalleled and happy constitution, entitles me to the name of Federalist, I hope it never will depart from me: for I do hold it one of the most glorious events of my life, that I was in the least productive of its adoption. And tho' attempts have been made to fully, or cast a stain upon my political sentiments, in giving me the name of Federalist, no person can with the least shadow of truth say, I am not a republican: for that is a name I equally glory in, with that of federalist, agreeable to the foregoing construction of the term.
I am not unapprised of measures which have been attached to the name of Federalist, by which the name has been corrupted, and rendered obnoxious. But I disclaim having had any hand, or desire in promoting those measures. And it must be obvious that many thousands who were called Federalists, equally disclaim those measures: or if that was not the case how came the minority, to become so large a majority? It is well known that a large majority of the people of the United States obtained the name of Federalist from the adoption of the constitution: and even those that were opposed to the adoption after it was adopted, must have become Federalists, or they must be traitors to their country. The United States are surely a confederation of States.
That a party did exist in Congress who were for strong measures, cannot be denied; but although this party did exist, and agree in supporting certain measures, it was the opinion of many, that their views with respect to the effects differed. It was said (with how much truth I
would not undertake to say) that in this party, there were men strongly attached to monarchy; some to aristocracy; and some to a reunion under the British government; and some might have had purer motives; and no doubt many were led astray by a misplaced confidence in those whom they looked up to, as being of superior judgment. And were not there many among the opponents, who were men, foremost in the adoption of our present happy and glorious constitution? Surely that will not be denied.
I am not unapprised that false rumours were once spread in Virginia with a view to attach the opprobrium of being a violent party man, and attached to what was called the Federal party in Congress. But that was an electioneering falsehood, calculated to answer the then purpose. And who is there that does not know, there are men, that will spare no pains to spread falsehoods? and if their present purposes can be gained, it is all they care for; the truth may ultimately appear, but their object is accomplished.
The office that I am at present a candidate for, I am fully impressed with its great importance, dignity, and consequence. I also know the great responsibility annexed to that high trust. I know that the man who does his duty in that office, it will engross nearly the whole of his time and attention, in promoting the welfare of the state, and a due execution of its laws. I also know that the pecuniary emolument can be no consideration with a man, that will support the common decency, and dignity of the office. That having those considerations in view, have made an offer of my services, with the greater degree of diffidence.
Should it be the will of my fellow citizens to choose me to the office, I shall obey their will, and shall hold the honor done me with grateful acknowledgements. At the same time declaring, that their will, in the choice of any other person, will meet my cheerful approbation.
Yours respectfully, THOMAS POSEY.
FOR THE KENTUCKY GAZETTE.
If the extracts which appear in the Western World, from the Atlantic prints, are to be credited, it appears that the eastern Editors believe all the abominable falsehoods which weekly issue from that vehicle of slander and malice. That Duane and Cheetham should join in the hue and cry with Wood & Co. against the republicans of Kentucky, is by no means surprising, seeing as we do, that they have attempted to destroy the reputation of the most valuable officers of the general government.—But that Editors of decency and intelligence, could for a moment give credit to any thing from the execrable Wood, is a matter of astonishment. That our fellow citizens of the other states may no longer remain in ignorance of the truth of our views at all times, I now venture to assert, without fear of contradiction, by any person but Street, Wood & Co. (who will contradict anything but the most shameless falsehoods,) that the Western World is a federal print, instituted to answer federal purposes—and that there is no foundation in truth for the pretended Spanish association. If I have stated untruths, it can be shown by proving any part of their statements.
I deny that John Brown was ever offered a grandee-ship by any foreign agent whatever, and Street is called upon to prove it. I deny that John Brown ever saw Newman.—Proof that he did, is required. I deny that Brown assisted in handing Muter to the chair, at the meeting in Lexington, on the 28th of March 1794 & the Editors of the Western World are now called on for proof. If they cannot prove these things, no man of common sense will believe any part of their statements. The question is now at a fair issue, and we shall see what will be the decision.
It is a notorious fact, that Mr. Brown left Kentucky for Congress, late in the summer of 1792, nor did he return until July or August, 1795 after the ratification of Jay's treaty, and the first act of the people of Lexington, on his return, was to give him a public dinner, as a testimonial of his patriotic services. Yet Street & Co. assert, that during the period of Mr. Brown's absence from the state, he was in Lexington, actively engaged in democratic meetings, pouring forth his vindictive spleen against the executive government.
It is a fact which cannot be denied, that the compromise proposed in the letter published in the last number of the Western World, written by Mr. Brown to Trench Coxe, was acceded to by government, and thus, at the instance of Mr. Brown, were we exonerated from all demand, for duties on spirits distilled within the state, prior to June 1794, and also released from all fines, penalties and forfeitures, incurred by neglect, or violation of the excise law, anterior to that date—and even for this act, which had for its object the relief of his fellow citizens, the peace of his country, and a due observance of the laws of the general government, after every plausible pretence for opposition had ceased, has he been publicly denounced by that sink of infamy, and the vengeance of a people whom he had faithfully served, is invoked upon his devoted head. Fellow citizens, you can easily determine whether Mr. Brown is guilty of crimes against your peace, liberty, or happiness. Let Street, Wood & Co. once prove that he was offered a grandee-ship, and then you will have some cause to believe that he has been actuated by impure motives—until then you will agree with me in opinion, that he has been basely and maliciously calumniated, and join your tribute of applause for his faithful and patriotic public services.
I am not surprised that the malice of these base incendiaries should be particularly levelled at Brown and Wilkinson. John Wood has repeatedly said that he knew Duane would join him in the crimination of Wilkinson, on account of the personal dislike which he had for the man—and Cheetham would vilify any man in the union, who would own Col. Burr as an acquaintance. Cheetham has roundly asserted that Gen. Wilkinson once held a Spanish commission, he will please prove it. But other and nearer motives than these have actuated Street & Wood in their attack on Brown and Wilkinson—namely, the deadly enmity which one of the faction which has encouraged and supported them, bears for those gentlemen. Malice and revenge for the exposure of his wicked views and corrupt principles, by Brown, Wilkinson, and the Judges of the superior courts, still rankle in his breast, and their political destruction is the object nearest to his heart, and will be accomplished at any expense, and on any terms.
The great object in view, in making these remarks, is to remove any unfavourable impressions which the flanders of the Western World are too well calculated to make on the citizens of our sister states—and to apprise them that no credit whatever ought to be attached to the bold assertions of two despicable renegado wretches, delitute of character and principle, who have outraged decency, and set the laws of truth and decorum at defiance.

TO SOAR ALOFT ON FANCY'S WING.  From the Port Folio.  [A ballad, founded on some domestic incident, generally makes its way to the heart. Philosophers as well as peasants are delighted with this simple and pathetic style of composition. Walter Scott, the author of the matchless "Lay of the Last Minstrel," and Mont Lewis , have distinguished themselves by the writing of a peculiarly beautiful and touching character. The following was written by Mr. Moore during his visit to this country and must interest the American reader, because the images and scenery are local. The "fire-fly lamp," the "tangled juniper" and "the copper snake breathing in the ear" of the lunatic lover, are circumstances which will not escape the attention of our readers.]
A BALLAD.  THE LAKE OF THE DISMAL SWAMP.  WRITTEN AT NORFOLK, IN VIRGINIA.  "They tell of a young man, who lost his mind upon the death of a girl he loved, and who, suddenly disappearing from his friends, was never afterwards heard of. As he had frequently said, in his ravings, that the girl was not dead, but gone to the Dismal Swamp, it is supposed he had wandered into that dreary wilderness and had died of hunger, or been lost in some of its dreadful morasses."  ANON.  "They made her a grave, too cold and damp For a soul so warm and true; And she's gone to the Lake of the Dismal Swamp, Where, all night long, by a fire-fly lamp, She paddles her white canoe."  "And her fire-fly lamp I soon shall see, And her paddle I soon shall hear; And long and loving our life shall be, And I'll hide the maid in a cypress tree, When the footstep of death is near!"  Away to the Dismal Swamp he speeds— His path was rugged and sore, Thro' tangled juniper, beds of reeds, Thro' many a fen, where the serpent feeds, And man never trod before!  And, when on the earth he sunk to sleep, If slumber his eyelids knew, He lay, where the deadly vine doth weep Its venomous tear, and nightly steep The flesh with blistering dew!  And near him the she-wolf stirr'd the brake, And the copper-snake breath'd in his ear, Till he starting cried, from his dream awake, "Oh! when shall I see the dusky Lake, And the white canoe of my dear?"  He saw the Lake, and a meteor bright Quick over the surface play'd— "Welcome," he said, "my dear one's light!" And the dim shore echoed, for many a night, The name of the dead-cold maid!  Till he hollow'd a boat of the birchen bark, Which carried him off from shore; Far he follow'd the meteor spark, The wind was high and the clouds were dark, And the boat return'd no more  But off, from the Indian hunter's camp This lover and maid so true Are seen at the hour of midnight damp, To cross the Lake by a fire-fly lamp, And paddle their white canoe!  The Great Dismal Swamp is ten or twelve miles distant from Norfolk, and the Lake in the middle of it (about seven miles long) is called Drummond's Pond.
