RAN AWAY from the subscriber, about the 20th inst, a negro man named TOM, of a yellow complexion, about five feet seven inches high, handsomely formed and of a good appearance—the clothing he took with him, is not recollected, but am disposed to be of the opinion they are only his common working apparel, being a rope maker by trade—I expect he will endeavour to get to Lexington, where he says his wife lives, and has numerous other acquaintances—I having purchased him from a Mr. Janney of that place about two years past, the Dollars will be given to any person who will deliver the said fellow to me in Danville, and all other reasonable expenses paid by J.

The Kentucky Hotel. THE Subscriber has leased of Mr. Henry Clay, for a term of years, that valuable stand for a Tavern, in the town of Lexington, formerly known by the name of Travellers' Hall, where he has opened a Hotel under the above title—The situation of this property, on the public square, directly opposite the North East front of the court house, and in the centre of business, gives it peculiar advantages. Great expense has been incurred in repairs and improvements, and in point of space, convenience and comfort the apartments of the house are surpassed by none. A new stable has been erected on the back part of the lot which he ventures to pronounce is the best in the state, which will be under the immediate superintendence of Mr. William T. Banton. He has provided himself with good servants, a plentiful stock of the best liquors, and in short with every necessary calculated to accommodate and render agreeable the time of those who may favor him with their custom; and he trusts that from the attention which he means personally to give to every department of his business, he will be found to merit that patronage which he thus presumes to solicit from the public.

SALE, December 7. By the late arrivals we have been furnished with important information, but with no decisive events from Europe. From a few English papers and the extracts supplied by the Boston papers, as well as from the Salem Gazette, we exhibit the following outline of European affairs. The French in Spain in the beginning of Sept. still held such influence among the high spirited Castilians, that they had held a Junta of the Province under the President Massaredo, and out of 113 communes, 108 were represented. In the address the president considers the present state of Spain as a delusion, and the communes assured him they had no share in the insurrection, and on the 27th of August they declared in form, that they lovingly, truly and obediently took the oath of allegiance to the King, Joseph Napoleon. The French had been in the possession of this province and of Bilboa, its chief town, and it was retaken by the Spaniards, and recovered on the 27th September by the French, who held it according to the last accounts. The French also had the possession of Barcelona, and troops were marching from the contiguous parts of France into the province of Catalonia to which Barcelona belongs. Of the increase of French troops in that quarter, the General Council of Spain at Madrid had received notice, and particular measures were pursued, that while the main forces of Spain were drawn towards the north, that the more southern parts of the country should not be expelled without defence to French invasion. Of the forming this council of the nation we have been assured, but not of the members, or of the extent of its representation. The celebrated Count de Blanco, who was of a late administration, and of great reputation, we are told has been appointed for the present President of this Council, and it was expected as soon as the state of affairs could encourage it, that the Archbishop of Toledo would be appointed Regent of Spain. It is said that the first business of the National Council is to demand Ferdinand VIIth whom they have acknowledged their lawful King, from the French, and that ministers had been dispatched into different kingdoms to represent the state of Spain, and the intentions of the Council in uniting the people against the power of France. They have also established a war department in their government. As the powers of the Council, and the laws of the department are not known, we have contented ourselves to use such general terms as may most nearly represent in our own language the proceedings of the newly constituted authorities of Spain. Of the military arrangements we have no sure information. Report has fixed upon Casafiano as the commander in chief of the Spanish armies, and has already intimated from the friends of Spain that some jealousies had appeared and that Cuesta had threatened to resign. The disposition of the military force must occasion some jealousies, as it even did in the American revolution, and the imperious circumstances of the nation may over rule them. The English have actually marched their troops from Portugal into Spain, and we are informed of English troops which had reached Currena. As no important or decisive action had taken place, it is of little consequence to attempt to reconcile the different accounts of the place and number of the Spanish troops, or of the comparative strength of the French and Spanish armies now in Spain. Some accounts reduce the French very much below the number of Spaniards, and others mention the great influx of French troops by Bayonne as well as by the southern provinces of France. When the emperor of France received the Senate at Paris on the 12th of September, the Senate presented an address, in which they assure him that unanimously they have adopted the measures he had proposed, and that 160,000 brave men

should partake in the immortal fame of his numerous and formidable legions. In the second article of the decree, 80,000 are placed immediately in active service. And 80,000 more by the fifth article are also placed at the disposal of government. It is conceded, by the English prints, that the French emperor coolly and frankly announced to the French the causes of his requisitions. The Count de Monti, General in Chief of Arragon, on the 12th of September, in his address to the Council, assured the Deputies of the provinces that the nation already blamed their delay to form a General Council, and reminds them that the most interesting object, and which demanded instant attention, was the complete expulsion from their soil of the remains of an enemy, who, from the mere knowledge that they were uniting their forces, were preparing for flight. He even tells them that the enemy had abandoned Tudela, and the Ebro, and were preparing to retreat to Pamplona. The French make a very different representation.
Independently of the war in Spain, Europe has a deep interest in the negotiations of the Continent. Whatever the English may have calculated from the expectation of separating the emperor of Russia from the interests of the emperor of France, a late occurrence has proved their alliance to be capable of effects not even suspected in Europe. An actual conference has been proposed, and the emperor of Russia is in full confidence ventured upon the territory of the French allies, and has been received by the French emperor at Erfurt. On the 24th September, the French emperor was at Mentz, and was to pass to Frankfort on the next day. The Russian emperor had called at Koenigsberg to visit the king of Prussia, who still remained in this ancient capital of Prussia, and left the city for Erfurt on the 21st of September. Erfurt is in N. L. 50, 59, 8, and L. east from Paris 8, 45, 31. By the last accounts the Emperor had been several weeks at this place, and dispatches had been sent and had arrived in England. But in what form they were addressed, and for what purpose, is not distinctly known. The English appear to predict no favourable issue from these visits.
At Erfurt had appeared the new king of Westphalia, the Grand Duke Constantine, and the Prince of Weimar, which is in the neighbourhood of Erfurt. Nothing has yet transpired, nor are any new appearances announced of a rupture between France and Austria. The present, upon all accounts, is an interesting state of Europe. From the North we learn that such has been the success of the Russians in Finland, that an armistice between the Russians and Swedes had been settled, but we have not the terms. That the English had abandoned the purpose of gaining the Russian fleet, which had fled into a harbor in Finland. How far these events will contribute to a peace in the North, we have not sufficient documents to determine. From Erfurt we learn that new restrictions had been put upon the Prussian trade, and we learn from Holland that similar measures had been adopted to encircle the difficulties of any commercial intercourse with England. The Russians have imposed very severe restrictions on their trade, and such as amount to a prohibition of it. From the ocean we hear of captures by all nations. The French, near the Baltic, had taken twelve English vessels according to the last accounts, and in the late storms many English vessels had been wrecked on the coast of France. We are told that the French ships from Cadiz and the prisoners, had been taken by the English and detained in Malta, and that the French from Lisbon who had failed according to convention, had suffered much, and one ship with troops had been entirely lost. The Russian ships from Lisbon had reached England agreeably to the convention. The English report that their Ambassador had not reached the capital of Turkey, on account of the troubles in the empire, but their papers mention several engagements with Turkish ships, and several captures made in the Turkish seas. Off Scopelos a Turkish frigate was taken, of 52 guns and 500 men, by the English. She lost 165 killed and 195 wounded. A French ship was also taken, bound from Aleppo to France, with cotton, and carrying 12 guns. Another French ship of 16 guns was also taken in the Mediterranean. But all these sufferings do not prevent the activity of the French privateers which are in every sea. The English complain that they have 8000 seamen now in confinement in different parts of France, and represent that they have every evil to encounter, if they have not friends who are able to alleviate their sufferings.
From England we learn that Parliament is prorogued till 10th Dec. No notice is taken of American affairs in regard to the negotiations. News was received that the states, especially the Northern, were in great distress from the embargo, and that they "talked of something which should release them from the miseries which they now endured." We learn also that the troops at Halifax, which had been ordered to that station, in case of a rupture were to be sent to the West Indies. The restoration of the Regency in Portugal, which had been ordered by the prince when he retired to Brazil, has been contemplated in Portugal, and the English inform us that the Portuguese are very liberal in their contributions for the defence of their country, and every thing is done by proclamations to remove all jealousies between the Portuguese and Spaniards, that they might more effectually make a common cause. The Generals and officers who served under Sir Arthur Wellesley, in the actions of the 17th and 21st of August, have resolved to present to him a piece of plate, in value 200 guineas, with an appropriate inscription.

SPANISH AFFAIRS.
The Corunna Gazette Extraordinary
contains letters from Gen. Blake, commander in chief of the army of Galicia, dated head-quarters, Trapaderena, Sept. 21; in which he states that having thought it expedient to occupy the city of Frias and the convent of Ona, his advanced posts were in consequence at a very short distance from that of the enemy; and that several skirmishes had taken place between advanced parties, in which the French had been every time repulsed. He also informs, that he had received a private letter from Major General Marquis de Portazgo, in Bilboa, of Sept. 20, informing of his having entered that town after an engagement of three hours, and was received with joy by the inhabitants, who immediately proclaimed Ferdinand VII.
Cadiz, Sept. 9.
Admiral Rosily who commanded the French squadron surrendered in this port, has been taken by the English, and carried to Malaga. General Dupont, who, with his whole Staff, had also embarked for France, has likewise been captured by the English, and conducted with his Staff to Gibraltar.
Canalejas, Sept. 11.
The French are passing through every part of the Rioja, carrying with them destruction and desolation. The main body of their army, which consists of more than 30,000 men, is at the city of Naxera. In Burgos there are about 800, and rather fewer in Bribesca. In the whole they are more than 40,000, and occupy the whole bank of the Ebro.
Madrid, Oct. 1.
It is reported that the diplomatic hero of the day, his Excellency Don Pedro Cevallos defender of the innocence of our beloved Ferdinand, and, in short, a true Spaniard, full of honor and greatness of soul, proceeds to Austria, Russia and Prussia, to represent to those courts, and to all Europe, the perfidies of Napoleon, of which he was himself a witness at Bayonne, and to require justice of every nation.
Corunna Oct. 9.
By a courier arrived from the army last evening, we learn that on the 4th inst. the whole army was in motion; and, according to the declaration of a person who was at Bilboa on the 26th, arrived at this port in a vessel from Santoria, it would seem that the French find themselves cut off in Bilboa, since the whole army, with their artillery, having left that town on the morning of the 30th, were obliged to return the same day; we may, therefore, expect that our army will easily fall upon Ney and the 14,000 men which he commands, and that our army will have a glorious day; we also know that the divisions of Seignor P. Plasmas, and the army of General Cuesta, have formed a junction and that 9000 Austrians remained at Reguera. Private letters from Bilboa state, that on the 27th ult. and two following days, the French were occupied in plundering upwards of twenty houses in that city, the owners of which had fled, having been proscribed. Massaredo, who commands under Ney, had signified to the inhabitants, that unless all the fugitives returned, the whole town should be given up to an indiscriminate plunder. On the 30th, between four and five o'clock in the morning, the French began to march out with the whole of their artillery, &c. but suddenly returned, about nine, finding, it is said, their retreat cut off. As soon as the inhabitants learnt their return, and the cause of it, they instantly ordered away every description of vessel in the harbour, in order to prevent the escape of any of the commanding Officers, but especially Massaredo, against whom the rage of the populace, and the soldiery, is indescribable. General Blake's head-quarters were on the 4th at Quincoces, a few leagues from Bilboa; but when the last courier left him, which was at two o'clock in the morning of that day, the General was on horseback, and the whole army under arms.
Castanos was at Logrona with 22,000 men, viz. 15,000 infantry, and 7000 cavalry; Palafox, with 18,000, was advancing by Roces towards Fontarabia, to cut off the retreat of the enemy by Iran. A reference to the map will show what foundation there is for the hopes entertained of the speedy surrender of Marshal Ney and his army.
Oct. 10. 12 p. m.
Gen. Castanos left this city yesterday, to take the command of the central army, whose head-quarters will for the present be established at Agreda.
Oct. 13.
This morning arrived here under convoy of the Amelia and Loire frigates, and Champion sloop of war, a fleet of transports, consisting of 140 sail, having on board 13,000 British troops, commanded by Sir D. Baird. It was expected that the disembarkation would have commenced to-morrow, but the junta of this province having been dissolved the day before yesterday, and the Supreme and Central Junts as being recognized, it was thought necessary to have the sanction of the latter, before the troops were suffered to land. A messenger was sent off for this purpose to Madrid shortly after the General came on shore, and, until he returns, which will be in eight days, the whole will remain on board; 5,000 cavalry are also expected from England. As soon as the transports are cleared, they will proceed to Lisbon to bring away part of the English troops from thence; when the whole are collected, they will be sent to the army, under Gen. Blake, as circumstances may require, a general illumination, for three nights,
and prayers for nine days, have been ordered throughout all the kingdom, on occasion of the installation of the Supreme Junta.
We have a report here, that Castanos is appointed Commander in Chief of the Spanish forces, and that Cuesta has resigned; but on this head rumors are so various that there is no believing which are entitled to credit.
London, Oct. 26.
Although the terms of the armistice concluded between the Swedes and Russians, a copy of which was given in THE GLOBE yesterday, are confined to the North of Finland, they will probably be extended to the whole of that province, so long harassed by a wasting and vexatious warfare. A peace between these two powers, and the consequent exclusion of England from the Baltic, will probably follow—a result certainly not unexpected by any man who could reflect, for a moment, upon the disparity of strength between Sweden and Russia. Private letters, by the Gottenburgh mail, state, that the British fleet had quitted its station on Baltic Port, and left three Swedish ships to watch the Russian squadron. The Victory Sir J. Saumarez's flag-ship, was off Oland, on the first October: she had been joined by the Aboukir, and two others on the 30th of September. The Orion was stationed off Dragoes. Mr. Thornton had been for a few days on board the Victory, but had taken his leave of Sir James. The whole of our squadron, it is supposed, is now on its way home. According to letters from Peterburgh of the 1st inst. an embargo has been laid on all vessels in the ports of Russia, in consequence, it is said, of its having been discovered by means of intercepted letters, that most of the property of late brought into Russia by neutral vessels belonged to British subjects. Some accounts say, that the embargo was only of five days duration, but the letters of the latest date state, in positive terms, that it still continued; and that about forty ships were detained at Peterburgh, among which were two or three Danzic vessels, and several Americans.
So resolute is the Russian Government in its purpose upon this subject, that the Governor of Riga has been superceded on a suspicion that he had connived at facilities afforded to the mercantile intercourse of this country.
Letters have been received from Koenigsberg, dated the 10th of October, which state, that on the day before an express had arrived from Erfurt with two sets of dispatches, addressed by Champagne and Romanzow, to the Prussian minister for Foreign Affairs, in which the French and Russian ministers required, in the name of their respective Sovereigns, that the King of Prussia should prohibit, in the most strict and effectual manner, all intercourse with the British dominions, and that all ships which had been detained in consequence of having come from England, should be condemned.
Sir Arthur Wellesley, who commanded the British troops on the late victory over the French in Portugal, was at the King's levee on the 12th of October. Whether Sir H. Dalrymple has also returned, we do not learn. He issued a proclamation to the Portuguese nation, dated at his head quarters at Prayas, the 18th of September, reconstituting those persons in the regency of the country whom the Prince Regent had appointed when he left. Lt. Gen. Hope commanded the British troops stationed for the immediate security of Lisbon, as appears by a proclamation published there on the 16th of September.
Deal, Oct. 21.
A flag of truce arrived in the Downs this morning from France. She came out of Boulogne last night at ten o'clock, and after a very boisterous passage, arrived in the Downs about eight o'clock this morning. The messengers have since been landed from her; one a Russian officer, the other a French, and after waiting on the Port Admiral, the Russian courier set out about eleven o'clock in a post chaise and four for London, accompanied by the Admiral's Lieutenant. The French officer was not permitted to go, and has since been put on board the Princess of Orange in the Downs, till the pleasure of our ministers be known. It is however stated, that this was done by Lord Hawkesbury and Castlereagh, who are both at Walmer Castle, and were consulted on the circumstances previous to their landing. Such is the secrecy observed on the occasion, that not a word has transpired with respect to the object of their mission; conjectures here are various, and some have ventured to assert that they are charged with overtures of a negotiation of peace; others conjecture that they are dispatched in consequence of the meeting of the Emperors at Erfurt, with an invitation to the British Government; but all is mere supposition at present.
The vessel which brought them over is put under charge or the Clyde frigate, Commodore Owen; and, it is supposed, is to wait to convey her passengers back again to France, or, at least, the decision of our government to the dispatches. She is a French victualling lugger, marked No. 1, on the bow.
London, Oct. 23.
The contents of the dispatches brought by the Russian messenger are kept by a profound secret; but it may safely and positively be announced, that they contain some offer of negotiation.
The arrival of messengers from each government, French and Russian, and their arrival in the same vessel, shows that they are the bearers of joint propositions from Russia and France, and that they have been sent from Erfurt which is about 400 miles from London, and messengers travelling with speed might reach the latter place in three or four days at farthest. We suppose, therefore, they left Erfurt about Monday last.
We grieve to say, that the accounts received last night, from the Coast, are very distressing, owing the gale of wind on Thursday night. A large fleet of transports were very much damaged off Dover, on their passage to Portsmouth. One of them foundered, and several sail drawn on the coast of France.—Report says twenty—several ships have lost anchors and cables.
Dover, Oct. 21.—The fleets of transports, &c. passed here yesterday to Westward, were all blown back into the roads in the night, the wind at S. S. W. but it shifting to the N. N. W. and blowing a heavy gale, the transports were dispersed in every direction; about twenty of them were driven over to the French coast. The Liberty, marked U. F. has put in here totally dismasted.—The Schooner William, Capt. Thomas, of and for Carmarthen, from London, was blown on shore on the beach at Dangeness, but the tide flowing very high, she floated off again, but immediately filled with water, the crew had just time to save themselves in the boat before she sunk.
Some interesting intelligence from America will be found in our paper of this day.—The answer of President Jefferson to the petition of the people of Bolton, is deserving of profound attention.—He refuses to relax the Embargo; and seems, in truth, indifferent to British commerce.
Letters from St. Andero received on Friday, mention, that the French troops that re-occupied Bilboa, were commanded by Bessieres, and that Joseph Bonaparte had arrived there about the beginning of October.
The transports with the Spanish troops, we are sorry to learn, were dispersed by a gale of wind, which they encountered in the Bay. The Defiance, captain Hotham, fell in with fifteen sail of them, which she fatally conducted to St. Andero. It is said, that the expedition under the command of Sir David Baird arrived off Corunna, and that he would be enabled to effect a landing near St. Andero.
A letter from Gottenburg, dated the 2d inst. says: "All hopes of an accommodation between Russia and Sweden are again frustrated. The Swedes have met with some most severe losses in Finland; the Russians have got large reinforcements."
Madrid, Oct. 6.
We expect every moment to learn the result of a great battle, which has doubtless before this time been fought, between the Spanish army, commanded by General Blake, and that of the French, commanded by marshal Ney.
Two couriers arrived here yesterday, one from Madrid, and the other from General Blake, with dispatches for the government of Galicia. I am sorry to inform you, that they confirm a report of the recapture of Bilboa by the French, which had indeed been current here some days ago, but was afterwards contradicted. Bilboa was retaken by Ney's division, which is stated to be 30,000 strong. The number of the enemy who entered the place, are said to amount to 14,000. According to the latest accounts, General Blake was making arrangements, which had evidently for their object to be prepared for an important conflict. The advanced posts of the two armies were only a few miles distant.
The following is copied from the London Packet Oct. 14:
"THE Brazil committee have received from his majesty's Ministers the IMPORTANT COMMUNICATION, that it is their intention to allow all goods, the growth produce, or manufacture of Countries or colonies in Amity, to be imported in British ships, or ships of the countries in amity, without being liable to the EXPORT DUTY, under the order in council."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Havanna, to his friend in this city, dated November 19th.
"I have no other news to send you than what a vessel from St. Lucar, has brought hither in 35 days—that Joseph Bonaparte, with 30,000 Frenchmen are surrounded by the Spanish troops between Burgos and Vitoria, and has no visible retreat. They have offered to capitulate, but General Cuesta insists on a surrender at discretion.—The Supreme central Junta is established at Aranjuez, and the Count Florida Blanca is President."
NORFOLK, DEC. 5.
A gentleman who arrived here on Saturday in 21 days from cape Francis, informs us, that an express had arrived at the Cape, bringing information, that Gen. Ferrand had surrendered the City of Saint Domingo to the British, and that it was garrisoned with troops of that nation. Samana, it was also said, was taken by the Spaniards. The surrender of the former was a voluntary offer on the part of Gen. Ferrand.
The war between Christophe and Petion still raged with unabated fury. The former had been successful latterly, particularly in the destruction of Petion's naval force.
PORTLAND, Nov. 30.
Confirmation of the British Outrage. On the 6th inst. the sch. Peggy, of Nova Scotia, with eight men on board armed with muskets cutlasses and pistols, after cruising six days among the islands in the district of Penobscot, was boarded by a boat from Bucksport, with five men on board, armed with muskets
and a blunderbuss—and after putting their arms on board the Schooner and taking a pilot on board from Mount Desert, the Schooner together with the boat, proceeded to the Isle of Haute, in said district, where there was a quantity of Flour deposited on said Island. A guard of five men had been placed there by the Collector of said district, to see that the Flour was not taken away without a permit. The English Schooner had come to anchor in Kimball's Harbor, not far distant from the Flour. The boat was ordered alongside of the Schooner, and ten men, armed with five muskets and one pistol, went on board and rowed for the store which contained the Flour. The boat was discovered and hailed by the guard, and the answer from Vinalhaven, in this district. They ordered the boat to come immediately to the shore. They then rowed to the shore, and immediately sprang from the boat, took the master of the guard a prisoner, and the bows of the boat fired a number of guns, rushed up the bank, killed one man, took another prisoner, detained his gun and gave him his liberty. The other two made their escape. They then took the revenue boat from them, and even went near the island (as they thought) and secured them. They then took the man that had been killed and dragged him into the water and let him go. After which they took on board about 150 barrels of Flour and Rice, and put to sea. The two men that had made their escape luckily found a boat on the back side of the island, and immediately proceeded to Cashine and gave information to the Collector, who pursued them with an armed force, and found them at anchor at Fox-Island Thorough-Fare. They discovered the cutter, slit their cables and set sail; and after chasing them about ten miles the cutter came up with them and they were carried into Owl's Head Harbor, by Mr. Wilson, whom they had taken prisoner. The collector then went on board and secured the men, (being fourteen in number) except the captain, in the hold of the cutter. The cutter, together with the English Schooner, then proceeded to Cashine; and on the 18th inst. eight of the men that went on shore with the boat armed as aforesaid, were examined before the Hon. Job Nelson, David Howe, and Bradshaw Hall, Esquires, of Cashine, and were committed to Cashine goal for the crime of MURDER.
There was one gun fired by the guard, loaded with cut shot, which wounded one of the men that had landed from the boat in three places.
Cashine, Nov. 24, 1808
Mr. W. Pinckney has expressed a desire to return to the United States from England, and it is supposed that he has obtained permission, and will leave England some time in February next. We question under existing circumstances, if there will be any public agent appointed, other than the United States commercial agents—Col. Lyman, it is presumed, will act in London, as Mr. Erving now does at Madrid. In the present state of estrangement, between the United States and Europe, we should not be surprised if Mr. Armstrong were likewise to return home; his health has obliged him to spend much of his time at the Bourbon Springs.
As Mr. Pinckney will return from Europe, in the early part of the year, we should not be surprised to learn, of one of our frigates being employed, instead of the private vessels hitherto sent with dispatches; and thus perform a double service.—(Aurora.)

Copy of a Letter from the Hon. Benjamin Howard to the Editor, dated Washington City, Dec. 11, 1808.
THIS day I received your letter of the 19th ult. enclosing an address to me, signed by the citizens of Lexington, and some others, upon the subject of the failures in our mail. I assure you, and through you I beg leave to assure my fellow-citizens, that I shall make every exertion to have removed the evils of which they complain, and which have excited, justly, so much feeling among them. The facts stated in the address, will enable me to make that kind of representation that I could wish, and insist upon that redress which they rightfully claim. Since my arrival here I have transmitted to you and the editor of the Reporter, such papers and documents (with a view to their publication) as I thought best calculated to inform my constituents upon the subject of our public affairs, and particularly that of our foreign relations at the present time. Should any material change take place in our affairs, you shall have the earliest information in my power.
In the Senate, December 12, Mr. Giles from the committee appointed on that part of the President's Message relative to the Embargo, reported "a bill to authorize and require the President of the United States, to arm, man and fit out for immediate service, all the public ships of war, vessels and gun boats of the United States;" which was read, and passed to the third reading.
In the house of Representatives, of the 22d. December 9. The engrossed bill authorizing the president to employ an additional number of revenue cutters was read the third time, and passed, yeas 26.

SECRET JOURNAL.
Extracts from the secret journal of the house of representatives, for the four days past, have been published, from which it appears that their proceedings were not so much on any great national measure as some supposed; being chiefly occupied according to the Monitor, in hearing motions from Mr. Randolph and others, to publish certain documents communicated with the president's confidential message. The following is the message as ordered to be published.
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States.
The documents communicated with my public message of this day, contain such portions of the correspondencies therein referred to, of the respective ministers of the United States at Paris and London, as relates to the present state of affairs between those governments and the United States as may be made public. I now communicate confidentially such supplementary portions of the same correspondencies as I deem improper for publication, yet necessary to convey to congress full information on a subject of their deliberation so interesting to our country.
TH: JEFFERSON.
November 8, 1808. The following resolution offered by Mr. Randolph, and by Mr. Macon, was several times negatived, by a large majority. Resolved, That the injunction of Secrecy imposed on the communications from our respective ministers at Paris and London, which accompanied the president's message of the 8th inst. be taken off, with the exception of the extract of a letter from Gen. Armstrong to the secretary of State dated Paris, December 27th 1807.
House of Representatives, Dec. 12.
Mr. Randolph.—It is not, Sir, without some embarrassment that I rise to submit a motion which I intend to offer to the house; not because there is any thing improper in the resolution itself, but because I am not sure—nor perfectly sure, that the galleries ought not to be cleared.
I am fully aware of the temptation which the flitting of these doors are calculated to excite; but as nothing can be collected from the resolution itself by the spectators I will offer it first, and leave it for the speaker to decide whether the discussions which it may excite will render it proper to clear the galleries. [Mr. R. then made some allusions to the letter in the name of Lemuel Sawyer, Esq. a member of the house, purporting to contain a summary of the secret documents. For the fact of its being so, however, Mr. R. did vouch, but observed it would have the same impression on the popular mind as if true, urging the extreme propriety of letting the public know their contents, &c. and as there had been much objection to the publication of the substance, he would offer the following resolution:]
Resolved, That the injunction of secrecy imposed on the communications from our respective ministers at Paris and London, which accompanied the president's message of the 8th inst. be taken off, with the exception of the extract of a letter from Gen. Armstrong to the secretary of State, dated Paris 27 December, 1807."
When the resolution was read, en- gagement of the speaker the galleries were cleared.
After remaining some time with closed doors, the house declared their session public, and it appeared that the yeas and nays had been formally taken on the resolution offered by Mr. Randolph, and that it was rejected—for it 42—against it 81.
ELIZABETH CITY, (N. C.) Nov. 28. Extract of a letter from Lemuel Sawyer Esq. member of Congress, to Messrs. Cutler, Butler, Grier, and Gregory, merchants in this city, dated
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. "We have just got through the difficulties from Messrs. Pinckney and Armstrong, which accompanied the President's message. They consist of a regular series of letters part of which were private extracts, and being confidential were read with closed doors. I cannot give you a thorough sketch in the compas of a letter but some of those communications are, that both powers have been trifling and prevaricating with our envoys; but were determined not to relax in their monopolizing and anti-neutral measures in a single degree. I don't know which to admire most the talents or the spirit of our ministers. They discovered a share of both, highly honourable to themselves & to their government. They seem however to differ with regard to the policy of the measures of our government, particularly the embargo. Armstrong thinks the value of the measure entirely overrated; that we ought to think of some other weapons than important words; and recommended an armed commerce. His notes to Champagne in regard to some captures under the Milan decree are severe in the extreme, though equally just. Pinckney considers the policy of the embargo unquestionable, and that it must have its desired effect. His letter of the 22d September on that subject, gives a most able and luminous exposition of the true line of conduct we should observe towards England. He advises a continuation of the embargo, and a total non-intercourse in the strongest terms. He condemns the idea of any attempt to open any trade with Spain and Portugal, in the present state of affairs. Thinks it would return no equivalent advantage: That it would create an envious disposition between our various productions: Some of the states furnishing articles suitable, and others not. That the trade would have to go through the hands of England, and then involve us with France; and that by the time our ships and cargoes made their entries into these kingdoms, Bonaparte would be in a situation to enforce his decrees against them, and expose us to the charges of cupidity and inimitable avarice. He thinks there is no doubt but Bonaparte will carry his point before that time and advises us above all things to adhere to our present system. He declares that it pinches England very hard notwithstanding they pretend not to feel it. Their navy is cut short, their raw materials near-exhausted, and that they are merely buoyed up with the vain hope that we are incapable of a longer self-denial. Another fact he mentioned, not immediately connected with the subject, was their shipping off large quantities of cash for Canada, for the purpose of being smuggled into the United States. Both of their opinions will be espoused by persons on the floor; but that those of Pinckney will prevail I have no doubt. His being on the spot, and being thought a Federalist in politics will render them free from the suspicion of prejudice or error by his own party. They will be published, I hope for your information, when you will be able to judge for yourselves. In the general scope of my conduct I shall endeavour to support the peace, without forfeiting the honour of the nation, and shall be particularly attentive to any local advantage that may occur for relieving the privations of our district by proposing some means of getting off our present heavy flock of produce to the West Indies, of all which you shall have timely notice.
The governor and commander in Chief, has requested of those who are detached from the militia of this state under his General Order of November last, that they will wear as a mark of distinction, a black Leathern Cockade with a small white metal button in the middle.

CHS. SCOTT.
Frankfort, Jan. 5, 1808. The Governor has designated Gen. Adam Guthrie, in the place of Gen. Sandford, to command a brigade to be composed of the 1st, 3d, and 6th Regiments in the detachment directed to be raised by his general order of the 24th Nov. last. [Palladium.]
Another Patriot Died!!! We have the painful task to announce
to our readers the death of His Excellency LEMUEL JAMES SULLIVAN, Esq. GOVERNOR OF THIS COMMONWEALTH, in the 64th year of his age. This event took place on Saturday last, about 6 o'clock in the morning. It is not our intention at this time to delineate the character of GOVERNOR SULLIVAN. His name and his worth will no doubt be portrayed from abler pens. We shall, however, observe, that as a Gentleman, a Patriot, and a Christian, he displayed that zeal and ardor which endeared him to his family and his country. In the revolutionary war, and since the peace, he has been placed in high and important situations. As a Judge of the Supreme, or Probate Courts, as the Attorney General of the State, as a member of the Council, and lastly as the Supreme Magistrate of the Commonwealth, his talents, his patriotism, and correctness, enabled him to receive the confidence and esteem of his country.
During his long confinement, he was able to review his life with that pleasing satisfaction which conscious integrity so forcibly inspires. A firm belief in the Christian religion, of which for many years he had been a public professor enabled him, also to meet his dissolution without dismay, and to look forward with confidence to those sublime promises which through the merits of his Saviour are prepared in Heaven for the righteous.

BRITISH EXPEDITION.
It appears by an arrival at Boston from Demerara, that the British had sent an expedition against the French settlement of Cayenne, consisting of a great number of transports and some ships of war. If the news brought by Capt. Hewes be correct, it is probable that Britain foreseeing the downfall of her cause in Spain is resolved to make a last effort; to seize the only French territory in S. America, and exclude her great rival entirely from it. Besides, the colony of Cayenne being adjacent to the great river of the Amazons, and embracing a fine island of the same name at its mouth, its possession may greatly facilitate the future enterprises of Britain in that quarter. She may intrigue with better effect among the Spaniards, the can more effectually co-operate with them in achieving independence, if they are for it; or interpose obstacles between them and France, if they are against it, by possessing posts on both sides of the Amazons river.
LONDON Oct. 17. DIVISION OF TURKEY.
The following project for the dismemberment of European Turkey, is the substance of some observations made by the French general Lauriston, while speaking of the distracted state of the Ottoman government, and is communicated by an officer of L'Unite frigate, cruising off Ragusa:—
"France to have Albania, Greece, the Morea, and the islands. Russia to retain its conquests in Moldavia and Bessarabia. Austria (in the event of her acceding to the confederacy) to receive Bosnia, Serbia, and Macedonia—Austria ceding to France the Lithorage. The provinces of Wallachia, Bulgaria, and Roan, to be erected into a separate kingdom for the Grand Duke Constantine, with the title of King of Thrace; Constantinople to be his capital. The disposition of the Asiatic provinces is not mentioned, and they are possibly reserved for some future arrangement.
Reports from India. The late dispatches from India are said to be of a less pacific character than those previously received. An unusual activity of negotiation among the native powers has induced apprehensions that the emirs of France have to a certain degree, succeeded in estranging some of the chiefs from their connexion with the company. Scindea lately sent some valuable presents to Holkar, and circumstances have arisen to induce suspicion in the British government of the object of the intercourse at present carrying on between those princes. The British residents have in consequence been instructed to watch the progress of their negotiation, and measures have been adopted to guard against any possible hostility on their part. I here appears to be a new and extensive intercourse amongst other of the native powers, particularly the Rajahs of Judpore and Jypore but the object or result has not transpired. Scindea has obtained possession of the fort of Ilhaunabad, with the lands adjacent, and has taken up his residence there, for the purpose of making various civil and military arrangements which he states had long been in his contemplation.

From the New-York Mercantile Advertiser, Dec. 14.
Yesterday morning arrived within the Hook, the ship Favourite, Pierce, from Cadiz, which port she left the 11th October. The passengers came up from the ship in a pilot-boat. One of them is the bearer of dispatches from our consul, Mr. Erving, to the Secretary of State.
The harbor of Cadiz was full of British merchantmen, laden with rich cargoes, which would not bring more than first cost. The French fleet remained in Cadiz, with the exception of one 74, which had been dispatched to Lima by the Spanish Government.
January 4th, 1809. Mr. Bradford—I am one of those who regret extremely the distinctions a-
mong our fellow citizens which are kept up in the public prints, under the invidious names of Whig, Tory, Jacobin, &c. At a crisis so momentous as the present, should not every appellation be avoided tending to irritate the public mind and to promote disunion? The true political character of the American people is, I believe, and I hope will ever be, "We are all Republicans—we are all Federalists," and this I am confident would be their united and inseparable character, without even a suspicion to the contrary, were it not for those unfriendly, injudicious and odious distinctions, which are so constantly and with so much acrimony circulated in some of our newspapers. Under these impressions I would beg leave to suggest, that every printer in the United States, who is really the friend of his country, as I would gladly hope they all are, should assume the dignified and elevated station of strict impartiality—calling no hard names; but simply exposing facts. Thus the public mind would be enlightened, without those mutual irritations which often produce incalculable injury, in opposition to the good, which I am willing to believe was intended by the editors of those papers. Of the general character of the people of the United States I have little or no doubt—They are the friends of their country, and consequently of the government of their choice, or they would not be the friends of themselves; but with this character, may not different individuals entertain different opinions as to the measures which are best calculated to promote the public good? Surely this will not be denied. Why then should we not as fellow citizens and members of one great republican family, exercise mutual forbearance and mutual confidence, and not descend to the miserable, degrading, intolerable level of abuse and recrimination? "We are all Republicans—we are all Federalists." Let this be our character in every nation on earth; let it be preferred sacred; and let no man presume to violate it by insinuations to the contrary—preserving this character we bid defiance to our enemies, and are superior to reproach—abandoning it we will be deservedly the scoff of the world and the victims of our own folly. With respect to the piece in your last paper, under the signature of "An enemy to tyrants," it is in my humble opinion beneath contempt. Such an outrage on the virtue and patriotism of "Americans" will be spurned with indignation by every "true American" from Maine to Georgia—it will therefore not be a "blot on the fair fame of America." What effect it may have on the character of the writer of it, if he has any character, time will determine. Memento—"United we stand—divided we fall."
A Republican and Federalist.
We regret with our correspondent the invidious names which are kept up in our public prints, believing they are sometimes misplaced; but we more regret that the conduct of some justify the use of those names. We were not astonished to find men who did believe our government were partially friendly to one foreign nation, and hostile to another—but after the publication of the Documents communicated by the President to Congress, we cannot conceive, that any friend to the Union—that any but a TORY would persevere in the charge. Whilst the nation was free from apprehensions of war with foreign nations, it was to be expected that difference of opinion as to internal policy would exist—at that time the terms Democrat and Federalist served to mark the two great parties. But at the present period, when the contest is not between parties within our Country, but between that Country and foreign powers, the friends to the Union are "all Republicans all Federalists," and that distinction ought to cease. The friends of their Country are certainly Whigs, and we know of no term too degrading for its enemies nor any more appropriate than Tory. Gaz. Edit.

AN ADDRESS TO MY SUBSCRIBERS.
LATE in the year 1806, I was over persuaded by some of my friends to publish my Life and Travels, in hopes it would help me to maintain my helpless family, in my decrepid state, I then commenced the task with a great deal of reluctance, as I very well knew my inability, having little or no education and no notes on my Travels, but had to depend on the correctness of my memory, for a true relation of the different scenes through the rugged paths of my life. The work has been finished twelve or fourteen months, and ready for the subscribers, at all the different county towns in the state, but the negligence of my subscribers, is like to be my ruin, after having been at the expense, of $800 and what will be the issue God only knows.
My books already printed are, And lie in store on hand, Each name has one and some to spare, To answer each demand.
Subscribers each his book may take, And then the printer I can pay, Or else be sure your friend you'd break, Its truth to you I say.

Notice. AFTER about three years' anxious pursuit and meditation, I have at length made a com- plete discovery of the Perpetual Motion in The- ory, and have reduced it to practice. I will only observe that it moves by its own weight; that is to say, the more you load a waggon, the more the power is increased so as to move the waggon and its burthen. I expect to write a short treatise on the subject, which will more fully explain this most grand and important dis- covery. I am anxious that it should be put in practice as soon as possible, so that the public may receive the benefits resulting from this no- ble principle, so long wished for by them. Henry Fenk.
