NOTICE.
WHEREAS we made a contract
with John Jordan Jun. of Lexington,
beating date, day of April 1806, for
a plantation near said town of Lexing-
ton for which we were to pay in slaves
and whiskey; not less than 33,000 slaves,
nor less than 2000 gallons of whiskey, to
be paid in Orleans &c. on the 1st day of
May 1807, and the balance on the 1st day
of May 1808, in the same way, be-
fore which time, the said John Jordan Jr.
is bound to make us a clear and indispu-
table title to the aforesaid plantation.
And whereas a certain Jacob Clair, of
said town, holds a mortgage on said
plantation, for 2540 dollars, a much lar-
ger sum than was contemplated in said
contract, and for certain reasons which
we explained to the said John Jordan Jr.
we did on the 4th inst. call on him to
give us security, that he would convey

THE honorable John Coburn! having dispatched a whole family in mass, and then the father and son in detail, by way of a breakfast, next falls on me in particular, for his after repast. Whether the rapacity of his honor, has more of the vulture, or his foulness, that of the Buzzard, it is unimportant to decide; his resemblance to those two birds of prey is perceived to be close and striking. Nor are these the only comparisons which the subjects of natural history afford. The Bee and the Spider, distinguished by opposite qualities, may be supposed to unite in his honor. The Bee would convert into honey the substance of the crab-apple, or the gourd—the Spider elaborates into poison, the essence of the pink, or the rose; and Judge Coburn! combining the opposite organs of these insects, has manifested himself upon the different subjects of his late lucubrations. To the Spanish associates, he is the Bee—to the Marshall family in general, and myself in particular, he is the Spider. But fortunately, like the loathsome and offensive animal, the spider, it is only what he extracts that is in his power, it is only that which he can deform, it is only that which he can transform into the essence of himself, and into the poison of his own corrupt, and distorted soul. No reasonable man will expect me to notice particularly the inundation of the honorable Judge's general invective—the length forbids it—the spleen and malice which it displays, render it unworthy; while its desultory vagueness almost eludes apprehension. Nor have I time to be running after this Jack in the lantern, to catch from his vapor, now and then, a ray of light in the midst of the obscurity which surrounds it. There are however some things alluded to, which may be thought to have the appearance of charges—to these I shall attend. Perhaps I should not pass over the call which this honorable Judge! has made upon the people to "recollect the man who was opposed to their separation from Virginia, left the Surveyor's office might be jeopardized—he who opposed your efforts to procure the navigation of the Mississippi." To this I might well ask, who does his honor mean? but that in some after sentences, taken in connection, I perceive he alludes to myself. And I now ask of his Judgeship! what kind of separation from Virginia he means? What Surveyor's office had I to be jeopardized? To what efforts to obtain the navigation of the Mississippi was I opposed? I was opposed to a violent and illegal separation. Indeed when the subject was first agitated in 1785 and 1786, I was opposed to an immediate separation, as being premature. But what of this had I that could be jeopardized? None.
At the time the legal separation did take place, I was a Surveyor, and with the certain prospect of this appointment, had been, and remained decidedly in favour of a separation upon legal principles, and resigned the office which I held in favour of Col. Steele; nor have I ever applied for, or held any lucrative office, under either the State, or General Government since. On the subject of the Mississippi, his honor, if he has any meaning, of which I doubt, must explain himself, before it is further noticed.
I should here remark upon the want of candour in Judge Coburn! who I know might allege his ignorance, as an apology. Besides I shall have so many other occasions; and the Judge! convicted of so many falsehoods, of a more atrocious dye, would feel this only as a drop shot, after a cannon ball.
What his honor! has said about the adoption of the Federal Constitution, that perpetual eyeglass of the Spanish associates, I took occasion to answer to Mr. Bodley, as will be remembered by the readers of the Kentucky Gazette—that at present I pass. The next thing in the order of accusation by this honorable Judge! is, my passing through all the crooked mazes of Adams's administration—the advocate of Jay's treaty, and the passive tool of the great chief of diplomatic memory.
Again I must be indulged in asking, what have we here? To pass through crooked mazes, in John Coburn's opinion, may be a crime. The mazes of the Judge, are doubtless straight; and therefore innocent. Let this mark the difference. But I was the advocate of Jay's treaty—was this one of John A-
dams's crooked mazes? Or is it one of Judge Coburn's straight mazes? Was Jay's treaty in the administration of Adams, or since? Great and honorable Judge! I leave it with you to settle the answer, upon the new arrangement of your ideas. But I do not mean to trifle; I know I have been accused of voting for the Alien and Sedition laws, and for the standing army as the expression is—these are untruths—I voted for neither of them. But be it known to Judge Coburn! that I never gave a vote which I would retract; because, before I voted, I made myself acquainted with the subject, and voted according to my judgment.
Judge Coburn! has heard there was a treaty, called Jay's, that I was one of twenty Senators who voted in favour of its ratification, and that it became the subject of much invective, and irritation, and he thinks it will serve for the same purposes again. The honorable Judge! therefore, opens on the trail, but delitute of the sagacity of a good trailing dog, he has fallen on the back track, which he pursues with the nose of a puppy.
The treaty has been executed these many years; had his honor but known it, and it has been found much more beneficial than otherwise—it preserved peace with England, and kept us out of the arms of France, these were two good things—it defeated the schemes of the Spanish associates, that was a third good thing—it enabled the government of the United States to obtain from Spain, the right of navigation and deposit on the Mississippi, that was a fourth good thing—it gave the U. S. the possession of the north western posts, that was a fifth good thing—it gave the command of the north west territory to the U. States, that was a sixth good thing—it gave us peace with the Indians, that was a seventh good thing. I thought it right to ratify it, therefore I voted for it. Now it is a good thing to have a man in office that upon such occasions, will vote according to his judgment. I shall admit that this language is unintelligible to his honor the Judge! or such as he reprehends. But I shall pursue the subject no farther, and shall only ask his Judgeship to reconcile my being the advocate of the treaty, with that of my being the passive tool of John Marshall. I have always understood that to advocate, was to be active, and that active was directly opposed to passive. I leave the contradiction with his honor! an active passive man, is as intelligible, as a white black man. But Judge Coburn! who has the faculty of making something from nothing, and of inventing and asserting falsehoods as they may suit his purpose, may as well reconcile contradictions, as to adjudge against law, or decree against equity.
I shall never be afraid of being convinced by the arguments of John Marshall, more than of another; I have sometimes had the pleasure of convincing him; tho' indeed but little political intercourse has subsisted between us, and none on the subject of Jay's treaty, until after my vote. Could I have been the tool of any man, or set of men, I might have been the companion of Judge Coburn! I might have escaped the malice and the power of his masters, and prompters—I might have avoided the most serious difficulties, with which I have had to encounter. That I would not be a tool, is the primary reason why at this moment I am involved in controversy, and am told by this very tool of a Judge, that I have been at variance with so many first and useful characters in Kentucky. But notwithstanding, I feel the most perfect conviction of these truths, I shall not now refer to the facts which establish them. I know my enemies—I know if they can injure me they will do it, because the independence of my character is in their way, as it heretofore has been.
The next thing I shall notice, as having the appearance of a charge, is, that I have contrived to preserve my dubious standing, by entrapping the unwary, and defrauding my neighbors of their land. Here indeed Judge Coburn! is up to himself—the bale and villainous calumniator—here he displays his true character. My dubious standing! what does his Judgeship mean? I am but a private citizen, and such is my standing. Does his honor mean, that I have acquired property in the place of that I have been stripped of, or faster, than my enemies can get hold of it? But I demand of Judge Coburn! what he means by entrapping & defrauding?
Who has been entrapped by me? Who has been defrauded of his land? Has Judge Coburn! been the victim in either case? Or has any man complained to him? Who is he? I demand his name, and the land of which he has been defrauded. These applications are addressed directly to Judge Coburn! He is the assassin, who would thus stab in the dark. He has said too, that we cannot too much detest the assassin; but he was then concealed—he is now known, and he will be found to merit the full extent of his own sentence.
This honorable Judge! charged the deceased Col. Marshall with illegal exactions, as Surveyor; the evidence of the present Governor, proves the honorable Judge! to be a FALSE ACCUSER!
He charged the same person with not accounting for the public money which he had received as Supervisor; Major Morrison, his successor in office, proves his honor Judge Coburn! to be a FALSE ACCUSER!
He charged the same person with being opposed to the separation of Kentucky from Virginia; the evidence of Col. Crockett, proves his honor to be a FALSE ACCUSER!
It is unnecessary to pursue the like observations. THE FALSE ACCUSER! would constitute the appropriate epithet of this burlesque Judge! His honor is required to explain the principle of law, upon which he fined Forman, an overseer of the road, when he obeyed the order of the County Court, whose business it is to direct these matters.
He is called upon to justify himself against the charge of gross ignorance or manifest injustice. I demand of Judge Coburn! upon what principle of law, he arbitrarily, & inhumanly ruled John Ruff into trial at the suit of Col. Payne, when Ruff proved to the Court, that a material witness was absent whose attendance or deposition he had not been able to procure, owing to constant illness and wounds from the time the writ was served on him to that of his making the application for a continuance: And that with great difficulty, and not without help, had he then been able to attend the Court; it being the first after the suit was for trial. Has the honourable Judge! been thus uniformly rigid? If so, how does it happen that some suits are so long on the docket? What influence had the personal situations of the parties on the opinion of the honourable Judge? Ruff was poor, and without power—Col. Payne the reverse. The Judge ruled Ruff into a trial, and subjected him to a verdict; for more, it is believed, than he was worth. The case is stated to be flagrant the suspicion is strong.
Of this honourable Judge! I did once exclaim, "What a priest for the temple of justice!" And to my knowledge this is the only offence that I ever gave his honor, unless I may have also offended him, by the assignment of errors in the records of some of his judgments, which have been sent up to the Court of Appeals. The reader will judge of the nature and extent of these offences—and also of the manner in which the honourable Judge! has avenged himself. I deem it particularly fortunate, that his honor! has no more of my property within his power; since it would require no prophet to tell how he would dispose of it, especially after what has taken place in and out of Court, heretofore.
Thomas Marshall at an early period of the establishment of the county of Mason, purchased for a large consideration the resignation of the then Clerk of that county—and afterwards obtained the appointment, for which he was well qualified; he held the office and discharged the duties, of county, and quarter session Clerk. But the quarter session court was abolished, or rather changed into a circuit court—and by means of the honourable Judge! Thomas Marshall was excluded from the office under the new arrangement.
Some men would have thought his claim sufficiently strong to have ensured his re-appointment. The Judge thought otherwise; And I shall admit that for once, the law supported him. In any other state of things I should have thought this anecdote wholly unworthy of notice. But the public have seen with what rancor Judge Coburn! has spoken of the family, under the signature of Franklin, colouring his malice with the pretence of public good. And thus are we confirmed in the observation—"That the mean spirited villain, never forgives those whom he has injured." Is John Coburn! the vile calumniator, the base assassin? Yes; John
Coburn! is such a man, and John though not from the same cause. Our Censure was not predicated on the part which they acted in the conspiracy; but for the opposition which they exhibited to its development. We have censured in the severest terms John Brown, Judge Sebastian, Judge Wallace, Colonel Muter, Judge Innes, and even Colonel Todd, but for what reason? Not for their agency in the original association; whatever punishment or censure those concerned might merit on this account, it was the province of the people to pronounce and not ours. The hostility of the Editors of the Western World to these men, proceeded from the uniform opposition which they have exhibited to the development of the conspiracy, to their endeavours to harrafs the editors, and prevent the circulation of their paper. The development of any public conspiracy is a fair subject for every citizen publicly to discuss, and the individual of whatever station or rank he may be, who opposes such discussion, is an enemy to the welfare of his country, and the freedom of the press. Besides the attempt of suppressing the investigation of any political subject, argues guilt on the part of those concerned. Treason and conspiracy viewed in an abstract sense are no ways criminal. These acts may be exercised for the preservation of a country equally as for the destruction. Every individual who took a part in the revolutionary war was a traitor and conspirator in the eyes of the British government, but certainly a virtuous patriot with respect to America. There is no man who had the slightest agency in the American revolution, but who glories in the recital of all its actions, and for the best of reasons, from the conviction that they tended to the prosperity of his country. The desire manifested by the Spanish associates for suppressing the development, on the contrary proves that those concerned are impressed with an idea, that they were engaged in a conspiracy injurious to the interest of Kentucky.
Can any man tell why John Coburn! a circuit Judge! not personally implicated in the Spanish Association, (however internally conscious of guilt) should have thrust himself into the controversy between the Western World, and the accused. But allowing him the full right of entering the lists; yet can any man tell, why he should have forgotten what belonged to the subject of enquiry, the Spanish Association; and launched out his invectives against a particular family? Yes, the poor wretch is gripped by his choler, and convulsed by his ill will, towards this family, thought an opportunity was offered for a full gratification of all his feelings, and of all his motives; whether of adulation on the one side, or malevolence on the other. And what better method could he take to distinguish himself, or to recommend his superior talents! to the notice of his patrons? Has he virtues to recommend him? No. Has he talents for public office? No. Does he understand law, or equity? Let his judgments and decrees answer the question. With these observations I leave him for the present.

No. XVI.
WE have now concluded our narration of the principle facts of which we have been informed respecting an association that had originated 20 years since in the state of Kentucky; with a view of a separation from the union and an alliance with Spain. It must appear obvious that in every investigation of this nature which has been dormant for a length of time, that innumerable difficulties present themselves in the obtaining of proofs. It is not in the power of an historical narrator to compel testimony as a court of justice; he can only furnish such documents as will lead to the sources where the proper evidence is deposited: by which the public prosecutor may be able to bring the accused to justice, or the latter if innocent may exculpate themselves.
The importance of the present investigation, it is unnecessary to dwell upon. Every person except a few who are biased by personal interest, feels the propriety of endeavoring to ascertain, whether or not an association such as is described ever did exist. We expressly stated in the commencement of our narration that we were neither "goaded on by party spirit or personal malice;" but that our intention was solely to develop the conspiracy, "the seeds of which were planted with first settlers of Kentucky, which are still growing, and if ever brought to maturity, will effect the interest, not only of the western continent, but of the known world."
We never expressed the slightest design of censure or of attaching criminality to the individuals implicated. The Spanish association in Kentucky, was the only question proposed by us to be discussed. The Public and not we were the party to criminate or applaud. It was stated in the most explicit manner, that many persons would be implicated "for whose virtues we entertained the highest respect, and from whom we received several marks of favour." Gen. Wilkinson alone was condemned as the projector of the scheme. Let the words of our first number be remembered—"Yet if ever the attempt was pardonable, it was pardonable with several of the members of the Kentucky Association. From the public as well as private character of many of those concerned, who are personally known to us, we are confident that only the most extreme necessity compelled them to take a part in the treasonable scheme." Then after describing the unhappy situation of Kentucky at the period alluded to, we observed, "under these circumstances the cool and dispassionate reasoner will not see it astonishing, if even virtue and integrity themselves, yielded to the plausible proposal of an intriguing and ambitious adventurer."
It is true that in the progress of our narrative we thought ourselves authorized to censure in the severest terms several others whom we implicated in the conspiracy, and with equal justice,
these remarks are made to prevent any misconception of our views in detailing this conspiracy, and to impress particularly on the minds of our readers, that the fact of the existence of a Spanish association in Kentucky is our sole object, and the question before us, and not the propriety or impropriety of the conduct of the associates relative to the conspiracy. Their procedure since the commencement of the development of the business and the hostile measures which they have pursued with respect to the Western World, are the only part of their conduct, which we think ourselves now at liberty to arraign.
The policy or impolicy of a separation from the union, and how far such a measure would be conducive or injurious to the interest of the western people, is a subject which we shall examine at a future period. We intended at first, to have carried on this investigation along with the Spanish conspiracy, and accordingly published two numbers entitled, "The interest of the western people," for that purpose; but perceived the matter to be of such magnitude and to require such research as would necessarily occupy our exclusive attention. We therefore deferred it until our present enquiries would be completed.
The proofs of the existence of a Kentucky Spanish conspiracy, and the respective parts which those men, whom we have called conspirators, have acted in the association, will comprise this and the three following numbers, with which it is our design to close the list of those secret combinations which we have proposed to unfold.
It, with respect to general Wilkinson whom we have charged as the original projector of the scheme. The proofs at present which we shall exhibit against the general, are: 1st. The correspondence between Colonel Marshall and General Washington, which we noticed in the first number. The existence of this correspondence is proved by the letter of A. K. Marshall, republished in this days paper from the Kentucky Gazette. Mr. Marshall says, "I hey shall now be given to the world and except these letters which will be extorted from me by Franklin, the editors of the Western World never did derive any information from me (for I possessed none) or my father's bureau, or as I believe any member of my family."

Our last accounts from Natchitoches, as late as the 27th ult. mention that the most active preparations were making on both sides for an action; that 16 Spaniards, and about 60 mules, some packed with silver, have been intercepted on their route from Nagadache to Baton-Rouge, and carried into the American camp. The general is only waiting for the junction of the militia to bring the matter to a close."
NATCHEZ, September 30, 1806. Aspect of Spanish Affairs.
The most recent and accurate information from Natchitoches, states the Spanish force, embodied within our limits, at 1500, commanded by Governor Harrara, who evinces a spirit of marked hostility to the government of the United States.
General Wilkinson, we are informed, had an interview with Governor Claiborne, at Rapide, in the territory of Orleans, which resulted in the requisition of 250 mounted infantry and dragoons, from the Mississippi territory; who are ordered to march immediately to Natchitoches, and join the regular army stationed at that place.
OCTOBER 7.
A detachment of 250 dragoons and mounted infantry, under command of Major Ferdinand L. Claiborne, crossed the Mississippi at this city on Sunday last, on their march to Natchitoches, to assist General Wilkinson in repulsing the Spanish troops from within our limits.
Officers commanding the several companies:
 Captains, Benjamin Farrar,  George Poindexter,  Alexander Bland,  Basil Abrams,  William T. Vols,  Ralph Regan. 
A company of dragoons from Jefferson county, under command of Capt. Thomas Hinds, will march in a few days to join the battalion at Natchitoches—likewise a company of mounted infantry from Wilkinson county.
Extract of a letter dated Alexandria, (Rapides,) Sept. 7, to a gentleman in this city.
"There is no manner of danger from the Spaniards. There are between six and seven hundred regulars at Natchitoches—200 volunteers from this county, and I hope an equal number from the neighbouring counties, so that the Dons will surely be captured unless they retreat beyond the Sabine, on the approach of our troops. The French with a few exceptions, turned out surprisingly, Chevalier Poiret, and Cyprian La Cour, are among the volunteer companies. We are well affected here, and unanimous. Volentine is making exertions, among the Indians on the side of the United States, they are all perfectly friendly, and the Caddee's highly resentful the cutting down the American flag, by the Spaniards in their towns. We feel ourselves as secure here as if at Lancaster."
[Orleans paper.]
Extract of a letter from general Wilkinson, dated, Rapids of Red-river, Sept. 19, 1808.
"My orders, and the conduct of the Mexicans, are so much at variance, and the Spanish commander at the head of 1500 or 1800 men, has treated the wrong remonstrances, of governor Claiborne and co-
lonel Cushing with such flight, after having traversed the territory east of the Sabine, where he has taken his nearest post, and menaced our establishment at Natchitoches—that I foresee an inevitable appeal to arms in the course of twelve days, if the Spaniards should not recede, or I receive counter orders. And as governor Harrara is an officer who has risen by his sword, and is reputed a man of great pride and spirit, I think it probable he will adhere to his solemn promise to maintain and defend his master's territorial pretensions to a point within seven miles of our post, and fifty east of the Sabine."
Under these circumstances, but with a solemn determination to drain the cup of conciliation before I draw the sword, I have called for about 700 militia, which is the sum total I am to expect from this and the Mississippi territories, to be assembled at Natchitoches the first proximo.
It is not improbable hostilities at this point will be instantly followed by an appeal to arms in West Florida. I will write to you again in about ten days, when I fear you will be informed blood has been spilt. I have two Spanish governors opposed to me—Herrara and Gordera, of whom, and their 2000 men, I shall with less than 1200 give you a good account.
KINGSTON, (Jam.) August 30.
The Feret brig of 18 guns, the hon. capt. Cadogan, failed on Sunday morning for Coro, on the Spanish Main, having on board captain James Ledlie, of the Columbian army, who returns with answers from Sir Eyre Coote and admiral Dacres to the dispatches addressed to them, and received here on the 15th instant from general Francisco de Miranda.
We understand that the heads of our government have expressed themselves in high terms of approbation of the laudable purposes general Miranda is aiming at, and regret much that they are precluded from giving him the assistance which his views demand, as they cannot take so great a responsibility upon themselves, not having had any communication from his majesty's ministers on the subject. It is much to be lamented that no assistance could be afforded the general from this quarter, as we are well assured, that a few hundred men, tolerably disciplined, would have effected all he wished for in a few weeks, a junction with a considerable body of men now encamped ready to join him; but which he cannot attempt with the force at present under his command.
The Stork sloop of war, of 18 guns, capt. Le Gopt; the Flying Fish schooner of 12 guns, lieut. Price, and the Pike schooner, of 5 guns, lieut. Oatley, failed on Monday for Coro.
On general Miranda's debarkation at Coro, he immediately issued considerable numbers, printed in the Spanish language, on a large type, of the following
PROCLAMATION. Don Francisco de Miranda, commander in chief of the Columbian army to the inhabitants of the Continent of Columbian America:
BRAVE COUNTRYMEN AND FRIENDS.
Obedient to your wills, and to the repeated requests and calls of the country, to whose service we have cheerfully consecrated the greater part of our lives, we have disembarked in this province of Caraccas. The opportunity and time appears to us highly favourable for the completion of our designs; and all persons composing this army are your friends and countrymen; all resolved to sacrifice their lives, if necessary for your liberty and independence, under the auspices and protection of the British navy! With those auxiliaries, we can safely say, that the day will come when our America, recovering her sovereign independence, her sons will be able freely to show to the universe their exalted spirit. The oppressive unfeeling government, which have obscured our finer qualities, and blackened with calumnies our deference and character, managed also to maintain her abominable system of administration for three successive centuries, but was never able to eradicate from our hearts those moral and civil virtues which a holy religion, and a regular code of laws, incorporated with our customs, and led to an honest and natural course of action.
Let us be worthy then of those admirable qualities, and that the mean, odious agents of the court of
Madrid being expelled, we may be able quickly to establish the civil order necessary to the completion of so honorable an undertaking. The recovery of our rights as citizens, and of our national glory as Columbian Americans, will be amongst the least benefits we shall derive from that so just and necessary determination.
The innocent Indians, and other men, will consider us all as brother citizens, and that precedence belongs only to merit and virtue, in which belief they will primarily obtain most certainly military and civil recompences, the reward of merit alone.
If the Dutch and Portuguese were able, in former times, to throw off the yoke of Spanish oppression; if the Swiss and Americans our neighbours, have equally succeeded to establish their liberty and independence with the general applause of the world, and to the benefit of their inhabitants, when each of them, separately, scarcely contained two or three millions of people, why then shall we, who are at least sixteen millions not be able easily to extricate ourselves? possessing besides, over and above these considerations, the most fertile, inexhaustible and rich continent in the known world. The fact is, that it depends solely upon our own will—and that the will, progressing to our independence, union will assure to us permanent and perpetual happiness; the Divine Providence ordains it, to alleviate the miseries of our unhappy countrymen, and for the protection and benefit of the human species!
Those people who are timorous or less instructed, and who wish to inform themselves of the ground work, of the justice and equity which those proceedings require—joined to the historical truths that prove the inconceivable ingratitude, unheard of cruelties, and atrocious persecutions of the Spanish government towards the innocent and unhappy inhabitants of the New World almost from the moment of its discovery, will read the subjoined address of don Juan Piscardo, of the order of Jesus, directed to his countrymen, and they will find in it irrefragable proofs, and solid arguments in favor of our cause, dictated by a Holy Man, at a time when he was about taking his leave of this world, to appear before the Creator of the Universe.
To carry this plan into its due effect with security and efficacy, the citizens will be obliged, without distinction of classes or stations, (ecclesiastics only excepted, in the parts where they may be appointed) to conform themselves strictly to the following articles:
I. Every person, military, judicial, civil or ecclesiastical, who exercises any authority granted by the court of Madrid, shall suspend, pro facto, their functions—and those who may continue them after the present publication, as well as those who obey such persons, shall be severely punished.
II. The ecclesiastical courts, and courts of justice, in all the cities, towns and places, shall exercise, ad interim all the functions of government, civil, administrative and judicial, with personal responsibility and regulated by the laws of the country; and the curates of parishes and missionaries shall remain in their respective churches and parishes, without altering the exercise of their sacred functions.
III. All the ecclesiastical courts and courts of justice shall send one or two deputies to the head quarters of the army, in order that they may unite themselves in a general assembly on our arrival in the capital, and to form there a provisional government, which may lead in due time to another government, general and permanent, with the consent of all the nation.
IV. Every citizen, from the age of 16 to 55 years, shall repair, without fail to the army, bringing with him such arms as he may be able to procure—and if they have none, they shall receive them from the military depots of the army.
V. The citizens who may have the baseness to make common cause with the agents of the Spanish government, or who may be found with arms, encamped in any garrison or place of strength for the said government, shall be treated as a traitor to his country. If any person in the actual service of Spain shall be so pusillanimous as to believe, that they are in honour bound to serve against the independence of their country, they shall be forever banished the country.
VI. On the contrary, all those who are exercising any military, civil, or whatever other employs who may join with promptitude the standard of the country, shall receive honors and employments proportioned to the zeal and love of the country, which they may have manifested at such an important conjuncture; soldiers and seamen shall be equally rewarded according to their capacity and zeal.
VII. The treasurers of the public money shall immediately deposit the same with the administrators civil and ecclesiastical, who shall nominate persons capable of managing the same and for the supply of the Columbian army, with whatever may be necessary to its maintenance and operations; not only in money but also in provisions, cloathing, vegetables, carriages, mules, horses, &c.
VIII. In order to prevent all kinds of insult or aggression on the part of the soldiers, or the advanced posts of the army, the magistrates and parish priests of the cities towns and villages (under their responsibility) shall cause to be fixed the colors or ensign of the national independence, in the highest and most conspicuous parts of the churches, and the citizens shall also wear in their hats the cockade which denotes them to be such, since without which they would not be respected and protected as brothers.
IX. This proclamation shall be fixed by the priests and magistrates on the doors of the parish churches and all public buildings, in order that it may be speedily notified to all the inhabitants. They shall also read in the churches and in every civil court, once a day, at least, the pamphlet formerly mentioned, written by J. Viscardo, which accompanies this edict.
X. Whoever shall hinder, retard, or neglect the completion of the nine preceding articles, shall be considered as a public offender, and punished immediately with exemplary severity.—The public good is the supreme law.

FRANCISCO DE MIRANDA. THOMAS MOLINE, Sec'y
New Coalition against France.
We are indebted to a respectable merchant of this city, for the following extract of letter, dated Liverpool, Aug. 19th—received by the Hudson.
"I sent this down to the Rock, by a boat in time for the Hudson, to advise you that the mail from Hamourg brings accounts of Prussia, Germany, Sweden, and other powers, having formed a Coalition against France, to try with her the fate of arms once more. This information is brought by the 2d edition of the Observer, a Sunday paper of the 17th August. Perhaps, however, it is a stock jobbing business. N. York Gaz."
BALTIMORE, October 13.
Extract of a letter from Bordeaux, to the keeper of the coffee-house of this city, dated August 17.
"Reports of peace between England and France have been very prevalent here for the last fortnight—but seem now to abate, tho' probably with no more reason than they were propagated, as both lord Lauderdale and lord Yarmouth are still in Paris. In the mean time commerce is at a stand and very little doing."
The report of the commissioners appointed to investigate the charges against the Princess of Wales, has been made to the King, but is not published. It bears date on the 14th July, and was delivered on the 11th of August to the illustrious lady, by one of the Lord Chancellor's footmen; a mark of disrespect, which is treated with becoming severity by some of the London editors. The report, we understand, is a complete exoneration from the charge of having borne a spurious child, and notices only some trifling levities which were deemed unbecoming her exalted situation.
A COURSE of Lectures on the Theory and Practice of
MEDICINE, in the Transylvania University, will commence on the third Monday of the present month.

"TO SOAR ALOFT ON FANCY'S WING," For the Kentucky Gazette. ANACREON'S 55th ODE.
What deathless Artist's mimic hand Shall paint me here the Ocean bland, Shall give the waves such kindling glows As when immortal Venus rose? Who, in phrenzy'd flight of mind Such touch and tinctures bright may find To match her form and golden hair And naked paint the heavenly fair While every amorous rival bellow Strives her buoyant breast to pillow? 'Tis done! behold the wavelets green Softly press the Paphian Queen Around her heaving bosom play Kiss its warm blush and melt away: Her graceful neck of pearl behold Her wavy curls of floating gold: But none but lips divine may tell What Graces on that bosom dwell! Such bloom a bed of lilies shows Illumin'd by the crimson'd rose. Rounding off with grace divine Like hills of snow her shoulders shine. While streaming thro' the waves she swims  The silvery maze half veils her limbs. Else where's the eye that durst behold Such beauty stream'd on heavenly mold? Th' enamour'd Triton glittering train Sporting round the liquid main Waving their gold and silver pinions Bear her o'er their deep dominions While infant Loves and young desires Dancing mid the choral choirs Clasp the beauteous Queen around And fail in triumph o'er the bright pro- found.

The Efficacy of Physic.
AN Arabian writer relates the story of a person who, by the partiality of his good genius, became possessed of an en- chanting mirror of so singular a construc- tion, that it enabled the possessor to see those departed spirits, doom'd for a certain time to walk the earth. The man having once a flight illness, went to the most famed physician in Cairo, but when he came to the house applying his eye to the talisman, he found the door surrounded by a legion of perturbed spi- rits, who had died by his prescriptions, and hastily went to a second, whose por- tal being crowded with similar society, he left it and posted to a third, and there were only two little disembodied spirits, that seemed to have recently left their earthly mansions. This will do said he, 'the most skillful man may have two accidents; I will give this physician his fee.' On his entrance, the Doc- tor expressed great surprise and asked him to what recommendation he was indebted for the honor of his visit. The other, knowing that a little flattery is some- times of great use, replied, "Sir, I was induced to conduct you from the high reputation you have acquired in this city." "Really, I!" exclaimed our doctor; "Really! that is strange too, when I have been here only eight days, and to tell the plain truth, I have had but two patients since my arrival."

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