Knob Lick, December 7th, 1806.
SIR, SEEING various publications in the Kentucky papers of the disaffection of the citizens of Louisiana; a disposition in them to throw off their allegiance to the government of the United States, and raise the standard of rebellion in favor of France or Spain, or col. Burr, and a number of other tales, as idle as they are contemptible. I think it necessary to give you a statement of facts, with a few cursory reflections, that will enable you to form a correct estimate of their political situation.
I will first premise, that shortly after the commencement of the administration of Gen. Wilkinson, the Territory began to divide into parties; and at present the inhabitants consist of two parties, the friends and enemies of Gen. Wilkinson, nearly equally divided. A difference took place, between the Gen. and the superior court; the court and the grand jury; and the governor and the judges, as members of the legislature. For several months, there were two acting clerks to the general court; process was issued from both, and in many instances the sheriffs refused to act. The lives, liberties and property of the people appeared to be staked upon the hazard of these disputes. These things occasioned many well-grounded causes of complaint and discontent among the people, who had been taught to believe, that the cession would place them under a government of equal laws; of certainty, concord, and peace. Besides, the French, constituting a considerable portion of the inhabitants of the country, were unacquainted with our laws, language, customs, manners, religion, &c. and add to these, that the laws of congress will deprive them of a large portion of the lands, which under the Spanish government they considered their own—need we be surprised that the minds of the people were agitated, discontented and alarmed? It was while these things still excited much concern among the people, during latter part of October last, that a report was circulated, that col. Burr at the head of a party in Kentucky, Indiana, and Louisiana, was engaged in preparations to subvert the government of the western country to that of France or Spain; that proclamations and commissions were in the territory, signed by Mr. Burr; that he had agents and spies in every quarter; that the standard of rebellion was to be raised on the 15th ult. that the mouths of the Missouri and Arkansas were first to be seized upon—the first to command the Upper country; the latter to control Tennessee, Kentucky, &c. General Wilkinson, with all the troops that would follow, was to pass over to the Spaniards; a Spanish frigate was to intercept all communication with Orleans; and col. Burr with 15 half-finished gun boats, 15,000 men at Pittsburgh; 200,000 dollars which he had lately received; a few proclamations, blank commissions, spies, &c. was to subjugate the whole western country. These tales being bandied about, were much exaggerated, soon believed, and really agitated the people to a high degree. The friends of Wilkinson were suspected of being partisans of Mr. Burr, because his enemies assumed to themselves the almost exclusive privilege of being considered the friends of the country, good order and regular government; they talked loud, looked big, and from their sanctified, rueful visages, really appeared to be alarmed for the fate of the country; assassins were seen lurking in every corner and under every bush, and every wind brought news of intrigues, spies, conspiracies, insurrections and rebellions. Like shaving the hog, there was a great cry and little wool. The thing was laughed at by those who were acquainted with the temper and minds of the western people, and with what col. Burr might likely effect among them. In the course of a week, or ten days, the ferment subsided, and was scarcely thought of, but with contempt, except by a few who had been forward in palming their credulous fears upon their fellow citizens. Mr. M c N ot of Louisiana, now in this state, and whose veracity cannot be questioned, states that when he left St. Louis, on the 17th ult. the territory was tranquil, and no further thoughts entertained of discrediting the government of the U. States. No fears ought to be felt on account of the Spaniards, for there are not half-a dozen of them in the country. There may be men in the territory so profligate in their characters, and divorced of all respect for the government, that they would join a party in favor of France, or Spain, or col. Burr; but that there are men in the country that are hardly enough to attempt a thing of the kind, I do not believe. If there are such men, let them be named and denounced, by the knowing ones of St. Louis and St. Genevieve. I detest the method of condemning a country in gross, and that in the general and indefinite manner that the inhabitants of that country have been.
Before I conclude, I must notice a remark contained in a letter from St. Louis, of the 9th ult. The writer, speaking of the French and Spaniards,
says "They are, but with few exceptions, a wild, illiterate race of mongrels, who are desirous to check every approach to civilization, that they may lead the life of indolence at once in pleasing and natural to savages." The writer must have been unacquainted with the country, and deceived in his information; for the remark is not more unjust than it is untrue. A puritanical squeamishness might possibly find cause of offence; but call them illiterate mongrels, or anything else you please, "they are, but with few exceptions," accomplished and fashionable in their persons, manners and dress; genteel, polite, and social in their demeanor; quiet and peaceable, in their disposition; affable, cheerful and gay, in their society—and as hospitable as any people on the continent of North America. There are few who ever visited St. Louis, or St. Genevieve, but will attest the fact. I can speak with certainty, for I know them well; and never were a people more undeservedly reproached.
A Friend to Louisiana.

LEGISLATURE OF KENTUCKY.
In the House of Representatives, Tuesday, December, 2d, 1806.
Mr. Pope, from the select committee appointed to enquire into the charge against Benjamin Sebastian, one of the Judges of the Court of Appeals, reported the following resolution:
The committee to whom was referred the information communicated to the house, charging Judge Sebastian with having received a pension from the Spanish government, have had the same under their consideration, and report that they have with circumspection and attention examined the various evidences brought before them, which is as follows:
The evidence given on the enquiry into the charges against Benjamin Sebastian, Esq. one of the judges of the Kentucky Court of Appeals, before a special committee appointed by the house of representatives for that purpose, on the 27th day of November, 1806.
Mr. Thomas Bullitt of lawful age being first duly sworn, deposed, that in the year 1800 or 1801, he was spoken to by Judge Sebastian to receive money for him at New-Orleans, which he said was coming to him annually, and upon his, the said Bullitt's agreeing to do so, Judge Sebastian gave him a draft on Don Andre Armito, not as an officer, but in the form which drafts are commonly drawn for money without a consideration stated; which draft he forwarded by a Mr. Smith, and was paid off. And that Judge Sebastian informed him that he drew 2000 dollars annually for life, in consequence of his, the said Sebastian's having been active in some commercial arrangements with the Spanish government and the people of the western country; and that in the year 1802, he also got a second draft from Judge Sebastian for 2000 dollars, which was presented and paid. He also said that he had seen a letter from governor Carondelet to judge Sebastian, requesting him, the said Sebastian, to appoint an agent or agents to meet Gayoso at Madrid, which letter was dated previous to the drafts, and in consequence of which letter, judge Sebastian said he was induced to take his first trip to New-Orleans. Mr. Bullitt upon being interrogated whether this letter did not go to implicate judge Sebastian as an officer under Spain? He answered in the negative. Mr. Bullitt also stated that judge Sebastian told him that while he was making those commercial arrangements, (for which he became entitled to the annuity) a courier arrived at New-Orleans, giving information of the negotiation of peace between America and Spain, which put a stop to the arrangements. Mr. Bullitt was also interrogated, whether or not the annuity spoken of, was in consequence of any money or property consideration? He answered that he understood that it was in consequence of judge Sebastian's own personal services in bringing about the before mentioned commercial arrangements.
Examined and signed by THOMAS BULLITT.
Mr. Charles Wilkins, being duly sworn, deposed, that in the fall of 1804, he went to Natchez, and on examining the papers of John A. Seitz, deceased, deposited in the house of John and C. Wilkins at Natchez, found among them a draft on the Spanish governor at New-Orleans or any other person authorized, drawn by Benjamin Sebastian, for the amount of his, the said Benjamin Sebastian's pension,
but did not recollect the date of the draft. Mr. Wilkins being interrogated, whether or not the word "pension" was made use of in the draft? He answered that he was confident it was. Mr. Wilkins was also asked, if Don Andre Armito was not the Secretary to the colony of Louisiana? He answered that he was. It was also enquired of Mr. Wilkins, if the hand writing of the draft and letter produced by him, did not appear to be the same? He also answered that it did appear to be the same.
Examined and signed by CHARLES WILKINS.
The letter referred to in the foregoing deposition is in the following words and figures, viz.
"Louisville, February 18, 1804."
"DEAR SIR, The intelligence of your having safely arrived at Natchez about a month ago, gave me very considerable pleasure, not only because you were thus far secure from the dangers of a hazardous voyage, but also that you would soon have it in your power to determine whether the application to be made on my account, would be productive or not. As the subject is all-important to me, and of course I feel a considerable solicitude about it;—the sooner you can inform me of the true situation of the business the better; for, if you succeed I shall be eased of a great weight of anxiety, and if you do not, I must immediately make the necessary preparations to descend the river myself, for the purpose of collecting proof of my situation, and lay a statement of the business before the minister."
"If the person who was authorized to have translated this affair in N. O. should be gone hence before you arrive there, it is probable the application must be made at the Havanna; and if this idea had suggested itself to you, I have flattered myself that that circumstance would hasten your departure from Natchez, or that you would devise some mode whereby application at N. O. might be made through the agency of some confidential person."
"Accept the warmest wishes for your prosperity and happiness of your sincere friend and servant. "BEN: SEBASTIAN."
Messrs. Joseph H. Davies, Thomas Bullitt, John Allen, and John Pope, proved that the body and signature of the said letter was in the hand writing of Judge Sebastian.
Mr. James T. Martin, being also duly sworn, deposed as follows:
"In the year 1805 I received from the agent of Messrs. John and Charles Wilkins, at Natchez, a trunk delivered me as the property of the late John A. Seitz, who died at Orleans in July 1804. The trunk contained a number of papers relative to the concern of said Seitz; among which I discovered a draft was signed Sebastian as the drawer, but I did not know the hand writing of judge Sebastian; nor am I confident that it was signed "Benjamin Sebastian," but I recollect perfectly the substance of the address of the draft is contained and I believe expressed in the following words: "To the proper officer in the Spanish government for paying off such claims." The trunk that contained the above paper I forwarded to John Clay in New-Orleans in October 1805, accompanied with a letter, in which I requested him (as well as I recollect) to give it the first conveyance to Mr. Francis West of Philadelphia.
Signed JAMES T. MARTIN.
Before the committee on the enquiry into the charges against Judge Sebastian, Nov. 28th, 1806 A. M.
Mr. Thomas Bullitt was again called upon and stated on oath as follows: That the letter spoken of yesterday by him from the Baron of Carondelet to judge Sebastian, was on the subject of commercial arrangements, and that the names of Mr. Innes and Mr. Nicholas and some other person not recollected, were in it, and who were requested jointly with Judge Sebastian to appoint an agent or agents to meet Gayoso at Madrid—and that commercial arrangements appeared to be the only object of that letter—and that judge Sebastian informed him that he the said Sebastian insisted on the articles of their commercial arrangements being signed, stating that the treaty might not be ratified, and if it was not they would have their operation, and if it was, they would do no harm. The Governor answered he would not do any thing further in the business.
Examined and Signed by THOMAS BULLITT.
His Excellency C. Greenup, esq. was duly sworn and deposed as follows: That he knew nothing of Judge Sebastian's receiving money from the Spanish government, until yesterday, on the receipt of Judge Sebastian's resignation, in which he stated the commercial arrangements and the money which he had received in consequence of them—but that he saw a memorial in 1799 or 1800, concerning a negotiation with Spain for a grant of land, in which memorial some expressions were contained like the following: "That the memorialists were dissatisfied with their government and were more pleased with the mild and pacific government of his Catholic Majesty;" and that Judge Sebastian told him that the Baron Carondelet assured him, the said Sebastian, that upon a proper company being formed, a grant of land would be made to them.
Examined and Signed by CHRISTO. GREENUP.
Mr. Richard Steele was also duly sworn and deposed, that the memorial alluded to by governor Greenup, was drawn up by Judge Sebastian, as he conceived from the hand writing and conversation which he had with Judge Sebastian on that subject, and that he as one of the company did refuse to have any thing further to do with it, in consequence of its stating that the memorialists were dissatisfied with the government of their country, and were more pleased with the government of Spain, which expressions were afterwards at a meeting of the company expunged; and then Judge Sebastian refused to be their agent or to have any thing more to do with it in consequence of those expressions in the memorial being stricken out. Mr. Steele also stated that Messrs. Grayson, of Bardstown, A. Steele, of Shelbyville, Doct. F. Ridgely, now of Woodford county, and the late John A. Seitz, then of Lexington, are Directors, and that upon Judge Sebastian's withdrawing from the company, Doctor John Watkins was appointed agent to carry the scheme into effect.
Examined and signed by R. STEELE.
Mr. Wingfield Bullock, being also sworn deposed, that he was one of the memorialists spoken of by Mr. Steele, and at a meeting of the company held at Frankfort, previous to the one alluded to by Mr. Steele, it was proposed to strike out of the memorial the expressions of their being dissatisfied with their government, and were more pleased with that of Spain, which proposition was warmly opposed by Judge Sebastian, upon which he withdrew his name, and had nothing more to do with the company.
Mr. Daniel Weisiger being also duly sworn, deposed, that he was administrator with the honourable Harry Innes, of the late Samuel M. Brown, deceased, and that Judge Sebastian had a claim against the estate of the said Brown amounting to about fifteen hundred dollars, which he, the said Sebastian informed him was sent by some person from New-Orleans, for the support and education of his son then at Judge Sebastian's, over whom Judge Sebastian had the controul, and that a Mr. Griffith, who came up from New-Orleans with the said Brown's boat, accounted to Judge Sebastian for three hundred dollars, part of the said fifteen hundred dollars, and that the balance remained unaccounted for, as the estate of the said Brown was insolvent.
To be continued.
PARIS, September 20.
Europe now every moment exhibits a spectacle more and more strange to the attention of observers. On whatever side we turn our eyes, we find contradictions to explain and problems to resolve.
England still testifies a desire of making peace, and her writers never cease preaching the prosecution of the war; she prepares distant military expeditions, at the very time that she keeps a negotiator of the first distinction at Paris.
Russia has just refused the peace she had demanded; and is condemned to inaction as long as she is bereft of a field of battle whereon to seize again the advantages and the military renown she has lost.
Prussia is at war only with Sweden, but their warfare has more the appearance of a squabble among citizens, than of a contest between kings. And, however, she is augmenting her armies, and making such preparations as would make one think she proposes nothing less than to attack the first power of Europe.
Whilst these three potentates are separately discussing their interests with France, they seem to be combining a common alliance. But they are among themselves in a false uncertain and wavering position, before an enemy whose policy is fixed, and whose force depends upon himself alone.
We should be less astonished to behold Russia and England concerting means of attack against an enemy whom they should equally have to engage. But can the cause, the interests and the principles of Prussia, ever agree with those of England and Russia? The past proves the contrary, and the future will no doubt confirm the experience of the past.
Is Prussia in a more favorable position with regard to those with whom she wishes to unite to-day, and against the enemy whom she should dare to affront? Does she really mean to turn her arms against the power who has supported her for these fifteen years past against the hatred, envy and indignation of all the states of Europe? Does she again intend to deceive allies by clandestine engagements, which she means to break, at a favourable moment? or is she in her turn falling into a snare which they are laying for her, to be revenged of her past conduct....?—Public opinion has, only the alternate of this double sentiment until time removes the veil which yet conceals the truth.
In found policy, the resolution for Prussia, to be the focus, and the advanced posts of a continental war, seem as dangerous as it is tardy.—She set out in the war of the revolution by a defection, which from that moment betrayed her system. As long as Austria and France kept an equilibrium, she quietly reaped the fruit of her crooked, avaricious and fluctuating policy; but Austria once conquered, Prussia necessarily lost the importance of mediatrix, whom they equally managed perhaps at the same time that they both equally despised her. In these principles she bore no Power a sincere friendship; and none will doubt but that she would have again pursued the same system, had the same circumstances again presented themselves. This should serve as a compass in the negotiations which any power may embark in with her.
The Prussian cabinet, although fortunate in its speculations, has made and still makes less dupes than it thinks. France has paid for its neutrality in such a manner as to show it was sincere; but she thought this complaisance more conformable to her interests and better calculated to restore the general peace of Europe. She did like that Lacedemonian general, who seeing a corps of young men disposed to deliver up a post to the enemy, contented himself with assigning them another, where he took care to have them watched. What other cabinet could Prussia deceive; is it that of St. James's, when, instead of sharing the dangers as she shared the project of the last war, she stole into the field of slaughter after the battle, to carry off the fruits of the victory, and to share the spoils of the vanquished? She still keeps Hanover, and yet she would meditate an alliance with England? Her ports are still blockaded by the Swedes, and yet she would call them to her succour! She would invoke the support of the emperor Alexander, who she is just after abandoning in the dangers she had promised to share? It is difficult sincerely to accord those who have so often deceived and have such cruel reproaches to make each other. The sores are still bleeding. Accordingly the most moderate English writers can place no faith in this monstrous alliance. The succours of Prussia appears to them like the wooden horse; they tremble to receive her benefits. Thus notwithstanding the positive assertions even of the Berlin papers, we cannot yet believe the sudden change wrought in Prussia, because every thing points out to her the obligation of her attaching herself more closely than ever to France. With the friendship of this power, she might cover the wrongs she had done to the others; with her succour she was to preserve advantages obtained without drawing her sword.—By taking another road, by disregarding to such a degree her position and her interests, she would expose her existence and the remains of her glory. Her inevitable fall in an unequal contest, might afford favourable compensations at the re-establishment of general tranquility, might satisfy the resentment of the betrayed powers, leave a great example, and show that there

are in policy, as in morality, truths and duties which divine providence sooner or later punishes the infraction of. —[Argus.]
NEW-YORK, Nov. 19.
The ship New Guide, capt. Hall, came up yesterday from Gravelend Bay, and we had the pleasure of receiving our regular London papers to the evening of the 24th September, a Liverpool paper of the 25th, and a London General Prices Current of the 19th.
The ship Leander, capt. Whitby, too well known here for the annoyance she gave to the American commerce whilst on the Halifax station, and for the murder of Pierce, arrived at Portsmouth on the 18th of September, having been ordered home by the British government, in consequence of the conduct just mentioned.
LONDON, September 19.
A letter from Plymouth, of the 14th inst. contains the following passage, which if the fact be correctly stated, must be deemed important:—
"Plymouth Sept. 15.—Lord St. Vincent has out all the Portuguese ships of war at Lisbon, and is rigging them with all possible dispatch, and no doubt will bring them away with him, and all the Royal Family."
Sept. 23.—Arrangements are understood to be in a state of forwardness for the amicable adjustment of the differences with Prussia. The Prussian ports are expected to be opened immediately to our trade.
Rear Admiral Stirling has been sent out to supersede Sir Home Popham. He failed from Portsmouth some time ago. It is reported too, but we hope the report is untrue, that Sir Home is coming home under arrest.
We have just learned, that an expedition will shortly be sent out to the West Indies.
With sincere pleasure we learn, that rewards and honors, are to be conferred on Sir Home Popham, and Major General Beresford.
The Veteran, Jerome Bonaparte's ship is hauled into the inner harbor, at Concarneau, and moored head and stern to the shore, there not being room for her to swing; her guns are taken out to make batteries to protect her even there, and her sails unbent, to apprehensive are they of a visit from some of our ships.
Sept. 25.—We understand that the following are the arrangements which are agreed upon in consequence of the lamented death of Mr. Fox:
Earl Fitzwilliam, from indisposition, wishes to retire from the situation (which requires regular attendance) of Lord President, but to retain his seat in the Cabinet.
Lord Sidmouth to be President. Lord Holland to be Privy Seal. Lord Howick to be Secretary of State for the foreign department.
Mr. Thomas Grenville to be first Lord of the Admiralty.
Mr. Tierny to be President of the Board of Control.
Mr. Bragge Bathurst to be Master of the Mint, vice Lord Charles Spencer.
Mr. Whitebread will also be speedily called into office, but the arrangement for that purpose is not yet matured.
We can now add with the utmost confidence, that Lord Grenville proceeded on Monday morning to Windsor, to take the King's pleasure upon the above nominations, all of which it is presumed will be confirmed at the Privy Council held this day.
One of the expeditions now fitting out, is for the Spanish Main. We understand that the 35th, the 87th, and 89th regiments are to go on this service.
"PLYMOUTH, Sept. 23.—This morning early, the wind having sprung up at N. N. E. the signal was made for the transports to weigh immediately and put to sea. Every preparation for sailing was made in consequence; but it soon veered back to the westward, and prevented their proceeding."
"The Glatton of 50 guns, is fitting with all dispatch for a foreign station; it is said she is to take the three East-Indiamen that are here, under convoy as far as Bengal Bay, and then to proceed for Botany Bay."
"The Royal George, of 110 guns, has still the signal for sailing flying, and all ships are at single anchor ready for a start. Gen. Sir Hugh Dalrymple goes out in the Royal George; his stores were put on board yesterday."
The foreign intelligence received by the French papers yesterday, though it is well enough understood that all that comes thro' that channel, wherever it may be dated from, is of Prussian manufacture, had the effect to lower the funds a little. Nor are we surprised at it, for it is plain, even from the care taken to give such intelligence, a flavor suited to the French palate, that the French Cabinet is under considerable apprehensions that a war between France and Prussia, in which the latter will be assisted by Russia,
and perhaps by other powers, is at no very great distance.
Lord Hawkesbury failed on board the Thames frigate a few days ago, in order to take a peep at Bologne. His lordship was yesterday landed at Deal, and was saluted with 15 guns from the frigate at leaving her.
We understand the remains of Mr. Fox will lie in state three days, at his house at St. James's. If the Prince of Wales does not follow him, as Chief Mourner, Lord Holland will. His Lordship issued cards of invitation to a number of distinguished characters, to follow his illustrious uncle as mourners. They include the whole of his Colleagues in office; the Duke of Devonshire, the Marquis of Tavistock for his father the Duke of Bedford, the Marquis of Harrington, Earl Percy, Lord W. Russell, Mr. Byng, Mr. Whitehead. The whole number invited amount to about 40.
Accounts have been received in London of a most terrible accident having happened at Malta. On the 18th of July (some of the letters say on the 15th) a Magazine, containing nearly 400 barrels of gunpowder, and a number of shells, grenades and other combustibles, blew up and caused incredible mischief. Upwards of 1400 inhabitants are reported to have been killed or dreadfully mangled, a number of houses were destroyed, and some damage done to the ships in the harbour. The following is a copy of one of the letters that have been received.
"MALTA, July 18, (Private letter) "I now come to relate to you an event of the most melancholy description, and almost unparalleled in regard to the dreadful and miserable consequences. It happened this morning. A magazine took fire, and blew up, with an explosion scarcely ever known to be equalled; by it 370 barrels of gunpowder, and above 1,600 shells and grenades were blown up.—Such an immense quantity as 10,000 lbs. of gunpowder must occasion the most dreadful havoc and destruction. The houses adjacent in every direction, were blown immediately into ruins—and how shocking it was to the inhabitants you may easily conceive, as there was no chance of escaping. The buildings are all of stone, of an immense thickness. It is calculated that one thousand persons have either perished or are dreadfully maimed. The principal sufferers are the Maltese, who chiefly lived near the place. One man has lost his wife and six children—others nearly the same; and whole families are buried together. Those who escaped momentary death perhaps, are shockingly disfigured and maimed, and crawling about in a miserable condition. Fourteen artillerymen who were in the magazine, were of course blown to atoms. The band of a regiment [the 39th] were just playing "God save the King," near the place—the whole remainder were much wounded. The guards on duty were killed. The magazine is situated on the side of the water opposite to the city of Valletta; it is called Barola. Stones were thrown over to it, some to the distance of two miles. It was situated close to the water side, and the bed of the sea was so shook by it, that it rose up and overflowed the banks. Two vessels, [small ones] were sunk. Immense stones were thrown up which fell into the water; others on the ships and rigging; one I saw which fell on a vessel just arrived, weighed an hundred weight. The guard ship, the Madras man of war, is moored some distance from the disastrous place; but a stone fell on the quarter deck, and broke the thigh of the gunner, who had lately arrived. A Mr. Woodhouse here, who with his brother, has a great wine-making concern in Sicily, has lost two hundred and fifty pipes of it, worth nearly 7000l.—they were at some distance from the place; but the shock was so great that the casks burst."
"In short, it is a scene of misery which no language can describe. The churches are filled with the dead. A friend of mine, just come from the ruins, says that he was walking over them, when he lighted on the head of a woman. Her whole body was crushed flat; and although it is only a few hours since the general calamity took place, her body, owing to the intense heat, was entirely putrid."
"It is supposed, however, that the men were employed in cutting away the shells, or doing something like that, when by some means a spark arose. The merchants have begun a subscription of twenty pounds each, for the relief of the poor sufferers. A whole town, I may say, is destroyed."
"The accident happened this morning about a quarter past six o'clock. They say there are now buried in the ruins, one thousand barrels of gunpowder, that are in danger: but I trust in God it is untrue; were that to blow up it would bring all Malta in ruins. May the Almighty avert such another disaster!"
An article, dated Berlin, August 30, says, It is rumoured that all our differences with England are on the point of being happily terminated.
"True to his charge— He comes, the Herald of a noisy world, News from all nations lumbering at his back."

MARRIED, on Thursday evening last, by the Rev. Mr. Shackelford, Mr. Nelson Turner, to Miss Sarah E. Shaw, both of this county.
Joshua Lewis esq. of Jessamine county, is appointed Judge of the District of New Orleans.
Major-general Sir John Stuart, who commanded the British troops in their gallant action with the French, under general Regnier, in Culaabria, is a native of this city. He was severely wounded at the battle of the Eutaw Springs, during our revolutionary war, from the effects of which he still suffers very considerable inconvenience. It is somewhat remarkable that this very handsome military achievement was performed by a native American, upon the 4th of July, the day of American splendor.— Charles Cour.
General Stuart.—This distinguished gentleman is likely to have as many competitors among different nations and cities for the honor of his nativity, as Homer of old. The people's Friend declares, that he was born in "Swate Ireland," and Mr. Coleman, on the authority of a Scotchman, avers that he was born in "Badenoch." We are enabled to state, from the most respectable information, that he is a native of Annapolis, Maryland, and brother to Mr. Stuart, solicitor-general, at Halifax, celebrated for his able speeches in behalf of American vessels detained by British cruisers. ( N. Y. Morn. Chron. )
General Stuart, who gained the late victory at St. Euphemia, in Italy, has been appointed by the king, one of the Knights' Companions of the most Honorable Order of Bath.
MIRANDA.—A gentleman arrived at Boston on Monday last, in 22 days from Barbadoes, (via the Vineyard) informs, that he left Miranda at Barbadoes, where he had arrived to seek additional forces after successful attacks on Coro, Maracaibo and Little Gibraltar. The Barbadoes papers speak very favourable of Miranda's prospects. [ Repertory. ]
It is whispered in confidential circles at Paris, that Bonaparte had determined to compliment the queen of Etruria with the kingdom of Portugal.
On the 14th of September, Jerome Bonaparte, with much pomp and parade, and amidst the shouts of a Parisian mob, was created a prince of the empire.
The king of Sweden, as appears from an article dated Altona September 2, after raising for a few days the blockade of the Prussian ports, ordered them to be blockaded anew.
Extract of a letter, dated, "LIVERPOOL, Sept. 26."
"Annexed I hand you Prices Current, to which beg your reference. We have nothing more respecting the negotiation for Peace with France, but that they are still continued; more we suspect to answer some political purpose, than in expectation of their being brought to an amicable conclusion. It is generally believed our differences with Prussia, will be immediately adjusted."
"Several vessels are now loading wheat at Dantzick, for Great Britain. Our manufactures are in great spirits, in consequence of the capture of Buenos Ayres.—Adventures to an immense extent are preparing for South America, and we anticipate a brisk trade there this winter. Upwards of 30 vessels are now loading here and in London for Buenos Ayres. It has had material influence on our Cotton market, and we expect early imports of upland will pay well, as there is scarcely a good bag of that description in this market."
REVOLUTION IN HAYTI.
By advices from Cape Francois via Alexandria, information is received, that the Emperor Dessalines had been assassinated. It appears, that previous to this event he had ordered the General Capau, at Port de Paix, and General Beavres of the Cape to be shot, which was obeyed. Several other of his principal officers had also been executed previous to his death. No certain accounts of the situation of the Americans are received, but the island is stated to have been in a great ferment, &c. It is expected that this day's mail will furnish more ample details.

"TO SOAR ALOFT ON FANCY'S WING."
APPROACHING WINTER.
A PINDARIC ODE.
HOW alter'd now the rural scene, Where joy and beauty smil'd around, The trees array'd in living green, And flow'ry carpets drest the ground. Where the soft songsters of the grove, In soft melodious strains, Smooth'd the ruffled brow of care, Turn'd to gladness fell despair, Dissolv'd the marble heart to love, And fill'd affliction's pains.
Alas! stern Winter's savage train, Invades the mourning land; Rude Boreas blusters o'er the plain: Anon the rattling hail descends, The lofty forest 'neath the pressure bends, Nor can its rage withstand. The beau-eous landscape now no more With pleasure we survey: The barren fields in ruins lie, And nought but snow salutes the eye, Where huge destruction bears the sway: Where wild confusion rages round, And angry tempests roar.
Thus youth and beauty too, may last For a short time, but soon they're past, Like the last fleeting year; Ere we their transient sweets can taste, Alas! they're gone: Old age comes on: We feel our with'ring bodies waste, And death approaching near, Bending still downward to the tomb, Wrinkles spoil our youthful bloom, And all our joys are fled; Captives to sickness, grief and pain, Till we to earth return again; There lost, forgotten, and unknown, re- main, In the cold chambers of the grave, a- mongst the silent dead.
If youth have then so short a date, And life so soon be past, What wisdom to secure a state, Where pleasures long may last; Where stumbling age and feeble years, Sickness, and pains, and griefs, and fears, Can never, never come; Where we, eternal ages brief, Shall from our toils and troubles rest, And find a lasting home; Enraptur'd there to shout and sing, In the bright courts of our Almighty King, "O Grave where is thy victory? O Death where is thy sting?"
The following is a short passage taken, as is stated, at random, from a coun- ty of little celebrity.
Let no one say that there is need Of time for love to grow; Ah no! the love that kills indeed Dispatches at a blow.
The spark which but by slow degrees Is nurs'd into a flame, Is habit, friendship, what you please; But love is not its name. For love, to be completely true, Its death at birth should deal; Should be the first one ever knew; In short, be that I feel.
To write, to sigh, and to converse, For years to play the fool; 'Tis to put passion out to nurse, And send one's heart to school.
Love, all at once, should from the earth Start up full grown and tall; If not an Adam at his birth, He is no Love at all.
Departed this life, at Newbury- port, on Wednesday evening last, the noted Timothy Dexter, in the 60th year of his age.—Self-styled "Lord Dexter, first in the East." He lived perhaps one of the most eccentric men of his time. His singularities and peculiar notions were universally proverbial. Born and bred to a low condition in life, and his intellectual endowments not being of the most exalted stamp, it is no wonder that a splendid fortune, which he acquired (though perhaps honestly) by dint of speculation and good fortune, should have rendered him in many respects truly ridicu- lous. The qualities of his mind were of that indefinite cast, which forms an exception to every other character recorded in history, or known in this present age, and "none but himself could be his par- allel." But among the motley group of his qualities, it would be injustice to say he possessed no good ones—he certainly did. No one will impeach his honesty, and his numerous acts of liberality, both public and private, are in the recol- lection of all, while one of the items in his last will will be gratefully re- membered. His ruling passion ap- peared to be popularity; and one would suppose he rather chose to render his name "infamously fa- mous than not famous at all." His writings stand as a monument of the truth of this remark; for those who
have read his "Pickle for the Know- ing Ones," a jumble of letters pro- miscuously thrown together, find it difficult to determine whether most to laugh at the consummate folly, or despise the vulgarity and profanity of the writer. His manner of life was equally extravagant and singu- lar. A few years since he erected in front of his house a great num- ber of images of distinguished per- sons in Europe and America, to- gether with beasts, &c. so that his seat exhibited more the appearance of a museum of artificial curiosities, than the dwelling of a family. By his orders a tomb was several years since dug, under his summer house in his garden, where he desired his remains might be deposited, (but this singular request could not con- sistently be complied with) and his coffin made and kept in the hall of his house, in which he is to be bur- ied. The fortunate and singular manner of his speculations, by which he became possessed of a handsome property, are well known; and his sending a cargo of warming pans to the West-Indies, where they were converted into Molasses-ladles, and sold to good profit, is but one of the most peculiar. His principles of religion, (if they could be called principles) were equally odd: a blind philosophy, peculiar to him- self, led him to believe in the system of transmigration, at some times; at others he possessed those closely connected with deism; but it is not matter of surprise that one so to- tally illiterate should have no let- tered or rational principles. His reason left him two days before his death.
Newburyport Herald.
Mr. EMMET, the Irish Advocate that has flattered into fame and prac- tice in the city and state of New-York, is brother, we understand, to another of equal eminence, that formerly flourished in Ireland, and to Robert Emmet, the modern Curtius , illustrious for mind and misfortune, who was executed at Dublin for high treason, being concern- ed in the insurrection of the 23d of July, 1803. On trial he made no de- fence; but after verdict, and the clerk's putting to him the common question, which is mere matter of form, "What have you to say why judgment of death and execution should not be pronounced against you, according to law?" he took occasion to make one of the most eloquent harangues language can boast. It has very beautifully been said to have been "that voice which spoke almost from the grave, and seemed assimilat- ing to the energy and inspiration of eternal truth." It concludes in the following admirably impressive manner: "My Lords, you seem impatient for the sacrifice. The blood for which you thirst is not concealed by the artificial terrors which surround the victim; it circulates warmly and unruled through the channels which God created for noble purposes, but which you are bent to destroy for purposes so grievous, that they cry to Heaven. Be yet patient! I have but a few more words to say. I am going to my cold and silent grave; my lamp of life is nearly extinguished; my race is run; the grave opens to receive me, and I sink into its bosom. I have but one request to ask, at my de- parture from this world; it is the chari- ty of its silence. Let no man write my epitaph: for, as no man who knows my motives dare now vindicate them, let no prejudice or ignorance asperse them; let them and me repose in obscurity, and my tomb remain unscratched, until other times, and other men, can do jus- tice to my character. When my coun- try takes her place among the nations of the earth, then, and not till then, let my epitaph be written.—I have done." —Emerald.
EXTRACT
From the Address of President NOTT, to the Senior Class of Un- ion College, New York, delivered at the last anniversary of the com- mencement of that Institution. I HAVE detained you so long on the means of happiness, that time would fail me were I to enter in detail, on the conduct of life. The great principles of morality and piety are involved in the argu- ment we have been pursuing. An incidental thought or two, suggested by the times in which we live, is all that will be attempted.
Permit me, then, particularly to enjoin you to conduct honorably and charitably towards those who are op- posed to you in their opinions. Di- versity of sentiment is inevitable in a state of things like the present.— The dispensation of time is an ob- scure dispensation; and till the light of eternity shall break upon the mind, it is not expected that erring mortals should see eye to eye.— While groping in this world, and following the guidance of that erring reason which is scarcely sufficient to direct thro' it, it must be folly to
suppose ourselves always in the right, and more than folly to repro- bate those whom we consider in the wrong.
Society, on which you are about to enter, is already divided into various sects in religion, and agitat- ed by contending parties in politics. Between these hold the balance with an equal hand, and let merit, and not prejudice or interest, turn the beam.
To judge correctly, you must take a comprehensive view of the whole field of controversy. And having honestly formed your judgment, give full credit to the merit of those who differ from you, and be sparing of the censure which you conceive to be their due.
Beware of judging of bodies of men in the gross, as though each individ- ual were chargeable with the vices of the whole. There is no body of men among whom you may not find something to admire, and much to blame. Be careful to separate, therefore, the gold from the dross, and to distinguish the precious from the vile.
If there be any thing that can dis- grace civilized society, it is a spirit of discriminate and wanton slander; a spirit the vilest with which any nation can be cursed. And yet this spirit exists. It exists among us. It pervades the whole extent of a country, once proudly pre-eminent for every social virtue. It innu- ates itself into the cottage of the peasant; it enters, I had almost said, resides, in the mansions of the great. It is cherished by every party; it moves in every circle. It hovers round the sacred altar of mercy; it approaches the awful seat of jus- tice. In one word, it surrounds us on every side, and on every side it breathes forth its pestilential va- pour, blasting talents and virtue, and reducing, like the grave, whose pestiferous influence it imitates, the great and the good, and the ignoble, and the vile, to the same humiliating level.
Permit me to indulge the hope, young gentlemen, that you will ne- ver enlist under the banner of this foe to human happiness, nor prolif- icate your talents, or even lend your names to this work of intellectual massacre.
Having taken so much pains and expended so much treasure in pre- paring for future usefulness, will you content to become mere scavengers in society, and spend your lives in collecting and retailing filth? Re- member that the course of the ea- gle is directed towards the heav- ens, & that it is the vile serpent that winds along the sere, creeps upon his belly, and licks the dust.
Whatever party you may join, or on whatever rivalships you may en- gage, let your warfare be that of honorable policy, and not the smut- ty contest which succeeds by black- ening private character. Convinced of the sacredness of reputation, ne- ver permit yourselves to sport with the virtues, or even lightly to at- tack the vices of men in power. If they pass a certain boundary, in- deed, sufferance would be pusillan- imity, and silence, treason. But the public good, and not private in- terest, or private resentment, must fix that boundary.
There is an homage due to the sanctity of office, whoever fills it: an homage which every man owes, and which every good man will feel himself bound to pay, after the sub- lime example of him, who, though a Jew, and residing at Jerusalem, rendered honor, and paid tribute to Cæsar at Rome.
I cannot sum up all that I would wish to say to you, better than by placing the entire character of Jesus Christ before you as a perfect mo- del, in the imitation of which alike constitute your happiness and glory.— On every important question, in ev- ery trying situation, ask what would have been his opinion; what his conduct; and let the answer regu- late your own.

November 24, 1806. 8t
The 23d. of August, 1806.
Ever to be remembered, on account of the wonderful recovery of John R. Shaw, who was on that day blown up in a well.
About 9 o'clock, (as near as I can re- collected) the blast went off, but it was a considerable time before the neighbor- hood were apprised of my unhappy sit- uation, and for the want of their assist- ance, I lay about an hour immersed in smoke, mud, and water, almost dead with the loss of blood, wounds and bro- ken bones. Both my arms were broken, my left in three places, as also my right leg broken, and my left hand mangled, (in such a manner as induced the Doc- tors to take off two of my fingers,) and about one hundred flesh wounds, which caused a general belief that I never should recover. But
The Lord has pitied me, And shined upon my face, That all the earth may see The wonders of his grace.
At the same time, Mr. Thomas M. Barney, who was standing over the well, was knocked down by the force of the ex- plosion, and lay some time insensible; but received no serious injury.
A messenger was sent off to Mr. San- ders, my employer in Lexington, who immediately dispatched Doctors Fish- back, Dudley and Warfield, who let my broken bones and dressed my wounds. After which I was safely conveyed to my own house, accompanied by a num- ber of respectable citizens of Lexing- ton, and its vicinity. On my arrival I was re-examined, and my skull found to be fractured about the size of a dollar, and a fresh operation was performed with all possible speed and found judgement. The faithfulness of my Surgeons, by day and night, will (I hope) prove an hono- r to all the Medical Society. The friendly visits, and generous contribu- tions of the citizens, might be a pattern to all the world; and I hope those con- siderate gentlemen will be repaid an hundred fold, by the Great Rewarder of good actions.
JOHN R. SHAW.
In a few months I shall present to the public, a narrative of 30 years of my life and travels—5 different times a soldier—3 times shipwrecked—12 months a prisoner of war—with the num- ber of sieges and engagements in which I took part—4 times blown up, and my recovery—with a number of little anec- dotes, which will cause the reader occa- sionally to laugh and cry.

VALUABLE PROPERTY
FOR SALE ON CREDIT.
ON Thursday the 15th day of Janu- ary, 1807, will be sold at public auction, on the following described property
VIZ:—
That large, elegant and commodious BRICK HOUSE, late the residence of the deceased Col. George Nicholas, with the LOT, con- taining five acres, on which it is situ- ated. The convenience of the House, and elegance of situation, renders this Property infinitely more desirable than any in the Town or vicinity. A more minute and particular description of the property would be given, but it is pre- sumed that those who may be disposed to purchase, will satisfy themselves, by examining the premises previous to the day of sale. There are
TWO OUT-LOTS.
containing five acres each, separated, from the above described property, (con- sisting of a Street,) well set with grass, and enclosed with a post and rail fence; which Lots will be sold the same day. An In Lot in the town of Lexington, on High Street, nearly opposite Mr. D. Dodge's Rope-walk, and extending back to Water Street—this lot is high and beautiful, and has a very commanding view of the town; it has on it a small frame, and double hewed log house, both of which can be made very convenient with a little expense.
That elegant Farm, one mile south of Lexington, containing two hundred and fifty five acres, about one hundred acres cleared and under good fences—forty acres of which is excellent meadow well set with Timothy and Clover, and the balance laid off in convenient fields and grass lots; a small dwelling-house, and good barn, and constant spring and good spring-house, together with an excel- lent orchard of young and growing apple trees.—The convenient situation of this farm gives it probably more advan- tages than any other in the neighbour- hood of Lexington.
Also, about forty likely Negroes, con- sisting of Men and women; among which are carpenters, shoe-makers, black- smiths, and tailors, with a number of boys and girls, between the ages of eight and sixteen years, all healthy servants and generally possessing honest and up- right principles.
The sale will commence at ten o'clock, and continue from day to day until com- pleted. Bonds with good and approved securities will be required, on a credit of five years for the real, and three years for the personal property, to bear inter- est from the day of sale.
