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 style. 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 pecuniary advantages. Great improvements have been made 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. Batten. He has provided himself with good servants, a plentiful stock of the best liquors, and in short with every necessary calculated to accommodate date 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.

CONGRESS. Debate on the motion for publishing the correspondence between Mr. Pinkney and Mr. Canning. [Concluded] Mr. Cook said that these documents showed, that, instead of being more favorable to France than Great Britain (as had been said for party purposes) our administration had been far less favorable than to G. Britain & less favorable than they ought to have been. I shall never feel cordial (said he) in going to war with France, until we make to her the same liberal offer which we have made to G. Britain, and it shall be refused. The publication of this memorable letter of Mr. Canning's is but another attempt to mislead the people, and rob the executive of their just confidence. The letter itself is of little consequence. It appears that the conduct of the president has been perfectly correct. It would have caused a false impression had Mr. C's letter been published before Mr. Pinkney's answer was received. Mr. Canning, however, acting with less candor than the president of the U. S. has thought fit to publish one without the other; and therefore I wish the reply to be circulated fully. Mr. Lyon considered the documents of very little importance, conveying no new information; but made some observations on the mode of printing them. Mr. Story said he was sorry to find, because the patience of the house must be exhausted; but it was a duty incumbent on him to take the floor. This is not a new occasion (said he). More than once in twenty years the same attempt has been made by foreign intrigue; and when the attempt has been made there was scarcely a man in America but considered it a national and disgraceful. Like the gentleman from New-York, it was before my time; but I gathered the feelings of the moment and held sacred the same feelings as were avowed by the father of his country. Whatever may be our political differences, it is incumbent on all of us to frown indignantly on any foreign government that should attempt to influence the people. The publication of garbled and mutilated documents, purporting to be a real correspondence between one country and another, has been a mean used to lead the public mind into a state of distempered jealousy, and array the citizen against his country. It has been too long the case in Europe. Whenever the sword has been drawn, corruption has preceded it; and when I find the same means used
to detach the people of this country from their government by similar attempts I cannot repress my contempt at them. It is not any importance which I attach to Mr. Canning's letter that excites my indignation, because the very letter compared with his formal answer to Mr. Pinkney's note, is a complete answer to itself; for in the documents long ago published, we find an offer in the most formal manner by Mr. Pinkney to repeal the embargo as related to G. Britain on the suspension of the orders in council; and Mr. Canning in his formal reply has not even intimated the least suspicion that the offer was not the open act of the American government. Mr. P. with his usual candor, exhibited his own instructions to satisfy Mr. Canning not only that this offer was made by the authority of the government, but that it was made in the spirit of conciliation and sincerity. And by this letter a new feature is exhibited, for the purpose, almost avowed, of dissolving the union. I regret to see that our miserable little differences have induced foreign nations to tamper with us; that they have dared to believe that we are not intelligent enough to know our own rights. I regret that our divisions have been such as to induce a foreign nation to present a picture to the world of what she believed our real state. It is proved too truly that our own conduct has induced them to believe that we are a divided people; it is proved too truly that they have thought the American nation either corrupted with luxury or overawed by the iron hand of despotism, and that they have not strength for a moment to retain their political structure. The letter of Mr. Canning but for this would not have been published in the Eastern part of this country to foment those divisions produced by existing circumstances. Sir, I cannot but notice the honorable conduct of the gentleman from Md. (Mr. K.) who, though opposed in political opinion to the present administration, has shown himself to be a real friend to his country. It is the fame spirit which he has manifested, was exhibited throughout our country, instead of diffusing on this floor, that moment an attempt was made by a foreign nation to injure our rights, our differences on minor points would dissolve into air. It is necessary for me to state, because the gentleman from Maryland has clearly shown, the reason of the publication of that letter. As one, Sir, I do know that it was not only understood that the orders in council were about to issue, but that, before I heard of the embargo, I had seen letters and newspapers which informed that the orders were signed in the cabinet and not yet published to the world. In respect to Mr. Canning's saying that the order to repeal the embargo was not authorized, the dispatches laid on our table, at the commencement of the session flew to the contrary; and his own formal letter is a denial of the information in the letter to day communicated. Why then was this letter published in this extraordinary manner? To add to the divisions and lessen the confidence of the people in their government, to enable G. Britain to take advantage of these divisions and resume her domination over the Northern states. With this view of the subject I cannot but conceive that this letter is but a part of a system which has for its object the degradation of our country. I trust we shall on the occasion unite; that we shall not allow any foreign minister to believe that he can punish us for our correspondence; that divided as we may be on other subjects, we are united in a determination to support our rights. Mr. GARDNER said, by this time the editor of the Columbian Centinel must be pretty well mauled. The fact is (said he) he regards myself, that I have never read with attention the document laid to be official; and therefore unfortunately am not in a situation to determine whether in this respect our administration is to blame or not. I am one of those men who cannot comprehend all the details of such a negotiation at first glance. I do not believe that knowledge is to be attained by rapid progress. Therefore, I shall not at present follow other gentlemen in their verdict of acquittal. I hope to be able to do it. A gentleman from Vermont, (Mr. Kirk) appeared to be offended at my mischievous curiosity to the people of N. England. If the gentleman to whom I mean any harm to the people of New England he is mistaken. It is not necessary for me to take up any time of the House in expatiating on the respect which I have for the people of N. England. New England was the cradle of American liberty. Sir; it was there the revolution commenced. From that same quarter I apprehend that the same spirit will again arise. A light appears first in the east which I hope soon to see break forth into the most perfect day. The gentleman from Vermont, after this declaration I hope will not impute to me, any disrespect to the people of N. England. They will not submit either to the influence or injustice of foreign nations, or to any other. Nature intended them for a great and happy people. The gentleman from Vermont has misunderstood me in one thing. I did not say that Mr. C's letter contained any view of the subject not heretofore presented, and therefore have no occasion to answer his question. The question on printing the documents was then taken, and 5000 copies ordered to be printed.

LITERARY INDUSTRY.
THE subscriber anxiously solicits in endeavouring to render himself and his institution as extensively useful to the community amongst whom he resides as possible—begs leave to inform the public in general; the particularly those who honor him with their patronage; the plan, by which he intends regulating the hours of tuition, in his seminary during the ensuing spring and summer seasons. That is, from the first of March until the first of April, the business of the day will commence at seven A. M. and continue until half after eight; recommence at nine, and continue until twelve; recommence again at two P. M. and continue until five. From the first day of April until the last day of May, the business will commence at six A.

M. and accord with the above hours, with an exception of its continuance until six P. M. Agreeably with the above regulations, the patrons of the subscriber will observe, that during the summer months, there will be ten hours and a half devoted to study, and so arranged as to become neither too arduous nor too relaxing to the students; owing to the intervening hours of relaxation. Impressed with a grateful susceptibility for favors heretofore conferred on him, by a generous and enlightened community, the subscriber begs leave, to tender to them (thro' this medium) his sincere acknowledgments; and flatters himself, that the unremitted and assiduous attention, which he pays to the duties of his avocation, will always insure to him, a continuance of the like patronage; which shall be duly appreciated by ED. B. HANNEGAN. Feb'y. 27, 1809.

(BY AUTHORITY.)  LAW OF THE UNITED STATES.
AN act authorizing the proprietors of squares and lots in the city of Washington to have the same subdivided and admitted to record.
BE it enacted by the Senate and house of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That whenever the proprietor of any square or lot in the city of Washington, shall deem it necessary to subdivide such square or lot into convenient building lots, pieces or portions for sale, and occupancy, and alleys for their accommodation, he may cause a plat of the same to be made, on which shall be expressed the dimensions and length of all the lines of such portions as are necessary for defining and laying off the same on the ground, and may certify such subdivision under his hand and seal, in the presence of two or more credible witnesses upon the same plat, or on a paper or parchment attached thereto.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That at the request of the said proprietor, the surveyor of the city shall examine whether the lots, pieces or parcels into which any square or lot may be subdivided as aforesaid, agree in dimensions with the whole of the square or lot so intended to be subdivided, and whether the dimensions expressed on the plat of subdivision, be the true dimensions of the parts so expressed; and if upon such examination, he shall find the plat correct, he shall certify the same under his hand and seal, with such remarks as appear to him necessary for the further illustration thereof, and record the said plat, as examined, in a book or books to be kept by him for that purpose.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That when such subdivision of any square or lot shall be so certified, examined and recorded, the purchaser of any part thereof, or any person interested therein, may refer to the said plat and record for description, in the same manner as to squares and lots divided between the commissioners and original proprietors; and the ways, alleys or passages laid out or expressed on such plat of subdivision, shall be and remain to the public, or subject to the uses declared by the person making such subdivision, as all times under the same police regulations as the alleys laid off by the commissioners on division with the proprietors.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That whenever the surveyor of the said city shall pay off any lot therein, or any of the parts into which a square or lot may be subdivided as aforesaid, he shall measure the whole of that front of the square on which such lot or part lies; and if, on such admeasurement, the whole front of the square exceeds or falls short of the aggregate of the fronts of the lots on that side of the square, as the same are recorded, he shall apportion such excess, or deficiency, among the lots or pieces on that front agreeably to their respective dimensions. Whenever on such admeasurement the wall of a house previously erected by the proprietor, shall appear to stand on the adjoining lot of any other person in part less than seven inches in width thereon, such wall shall be considered as standing altogether on the land of such proprietor, who shall pay to the owner of the lot on which the wall may stand, a reasonable price for the ground so occupied, to be decided by arbitrators or a jury, as the parties interested may agree; but if the wall of any house already erected, cover seven inches or more in width of the adjoining lot, it shall be deemed a party wall, according to the regulations for building in said city, as promulgated by the president of the United States, and the ground so occupied, more than seven inches in width, shall be paid for as above. Which fact the surveyor shall ascertain and certify, and put on record at the request and expence of any person interested therein.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of the surveyor to attend when requested, and examine the foundation or walls of any house to be erected, when the same shall be level with the street or surface of the ground, for the purpose of adjusting the line of the front of such building to the line of the street, and correctly placing the party wall on the line of division between that and the adjoining lot; and his certificate of the fact shall be admitted as evidence, and binding on the parties interested.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That the surveyor shall be authorised to receive from the persons for whom he shall perform the services required by this act, the fees following, that is to say: For examining the plat and calculations of any subdivision of a square or lot twelve and a half cents for each of the lots or portions into which it may be subdivided; Provided, that no more shall be paid for the lots in one square than one dollar and fifty cents; for examining any building and giving the certificate required by the fifth section of this act, and recording the same one dollar and fifty cents; for recording any division, or subdivision of any square, or lots, for transcripts from records, and for searches in his office, the same fees that have heretofore been paid to the clerk of the county; Provided, that they do not in any case exceed the fee hereby allowed for examination.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That all records of the division of squares and lots heretofore made between the public and original proprietors, or which are authorized by this act, shall be kept in the office of the surveyor of the city; and all transcripts therefrom, certified by him, shall be evidence equally valid with certified transcripts from the keeper of the office for recording deeds for the conveyance of land in the county of Washington.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted, That whenever the president of the United States shall deem it necessary to subdivide any square or lot belonging to the United States within the city of Washington, which may not have been referred for public purposes, into convenient building lots, pieces or portions for sale and occupancy, and alleys for their accommodation, he may
cause a plat to be made by the surveyor of the city in the manner prescribed by the first section of this act, which plat shall be recorded by the said surveyor, and the provisions of this act shall extend to the lots, pieces and parcels of ground contained in such plat as fully as to subdivisions made by individual proprietors.
Sec. 9. And be it further enacted, That the surveyor of the city of Washington, before entering upon the discharge of the duties required of him by this act, shall take an oath or affirmation before the mayor of the city of Washington, that he will faithfully and impartially perform the duties herein before required of him.

(For the Kentucky Gazette.) Baneful Whiskey thus curs't by heaven's decree, How ill exchange'd is temperance for thee! How do thy potions, with insidious joy, Diffuse their pleasures only to destroy! Drunkards by thee, to sickly greatness grown, Boast of a florid vigour not their own. At every draught more large & large they grow, A bloated mass of frank unweildy woe: 'Till sapp'd their strength and every part unsound, Down down they sink, and spread a ruin round.
The suicides daily perpetrated by our worthy but unfortunate fellow citizens, who have not resolution to forbear from burning themselves up with ardent spirits, excite our regret; but it is an evil we do not well know how to remedy. As there are but few blessings without alloy—it is one of the evils of our boasted liberty, that freemen cannot be restrained from thus precipitating themselves headlong to destruction—giving up parents, wives, children, character, wealth and the gratification of every other appetite and passion, and life itself, for the pleasure of drinking Whiskey grog for a few stupid feverish years. But the same obstacle does not oppose an effort towards preventing our slaves from drunkenness—Citizens of Lexington, how many of you are there who do not suffer by the inebriety of your servants—in idleness, negligence, deception, pilfering, gambling, rioting, &c.? Are you to learn that there are twenty whiskey shops and stores where whiskey is retailed in town that principally depend on your slaves for custom. Can these people who thus deal with your negroes be good citizens? The county court when apprised of the evil, will grant licences with less facility than heretofore—as the design of the law is that none shall retail spirits, other than those who actually keep all the essentials for travellers—and it expressly forbids the keeping of tippling houses. It is said that some of your respectable citizens have consented to accept of the office of magistrate. Then exert yourselves to support them in correcting this growing evil.
FORIGN NEWS.
[From London papers received at the office of the Aurora] London Nov. 25.
We are grieved to state, that government yesterday received intelligence of a most alarming nature from Spain. The Lady Pillow packet left Corunna on the 19th, and arrived at Falmouth on the 22d instant—She brings the melancholy account from Lugo, on the line of march of sir David Baird's army, that on the 18th they had halted in consequence of advices, that the northern Spanish army, under the command of general Blake, had been totally routed—that the French were in possession of Burgos—and even advanced by rapid marches to Valladolid. The consequences of which was, that the fleet of transports which were preparing to sail from Corunna, and were actually weighing anchor, were recalled by a signal, to remain, as they might be wanted to bring off the British army. It is added, but this is too probably conjecture, that the French were pushing forward a column to Madrid, of which they would forthwith be masters. It is more likely, and indeed their march to Valladolid is a proof of it, that their intention is to intercept and cut off the army advancing from Lisbon under sir John Moore, the first column of which had arrived at Salamanca about the time that the French were at Valladolid. The distance by the direct road is not more than 20 leagues, and on the 13th instant, it is understood, that sir John Moore was at Salamanca, sir David Baird at Lugo, and the French at Valladolid.
In these circumstances considerable apprehensions are entertained respecting the result of the contest in Spain, but particularly respecting our army, which is now considered as being in imminent jeopardy, and those even who are the most inclined to despond of the cause of the Spaniards, are not a little alarmed about the actual situation of the British.
We have at this moment an army of from 35 to 40,000 men in Spain, but the two corps of this army, it is to be feared, will not be able to effect a junction. Burgos was the point at which it was fixed that they were to meet, but Burgos is now in possession of the French, and even supposing that sir John Moore should turn to the left at Salamanca, and endeavor to establish a communication with sir David Baird by Zamora and Benavente, we are afraid that such an attempt may be defeated by the enemy. Some persons suppose that the French will advance straight to Madrid, and it is not impossible, provided they are sufficiently strong (which there seems but little reason to doubt,) that they may send forward a detachment to take possession of the capital; but it is not at all likely that they will advance, leaving the English army upon their right flank, without a sufficient force to make head against it. Besides, it is a much more important object for Bonaparte, in the present stage of the contest, to defeat the British army, than it is to gain possession of Madrid, particularly as this will follow of course upon
the other. We have no doubt whatever, therefore, that if sir John Moore has not retreated by the same route by which he came, that we shall ere long hear of his division having been attacked; and however high may be our opinion of British valour, it can hardly be expected, that in the present instance, it will be sufficient to overcome, not only the enemy's force, but all the disadvantages of its situation.
It is very well known that our troops have no magazines—that they find great difficulty in procuring food—and this circumstance has rendered it necessary to march the army in small columns, at considerable intervals, so that it has been said that between the van and the rear, there will be a distance of not less than 30 days march. Were our armies, therefore, in these circumstances to be attacked, the enemy would have to contend, not with a concentrated force of 20 or 22,000 men, but with detached bodies of 2 or 3000, which he could cut off in detail. The cavalry, too are separated from the infantry; general Hope having proceeded with the former by the great road leading from Badajoz to Madrid. In short, the British force which, had it been united, would have formed a respectable army, is so divided, as to render each column a feeble opponent to the enemy.
The fatal consequences of our distractions and cabals now begin to shew themselves; and all those men who, from the beginning, augured ill of the Spanish cause, plume themselves on their sagacity, forgetting that their predictions have been favored by the intrigues, errors and crimes of our own councils. The occasion that presented itself so favourably to our arms, while the depot was drawn to the north of Germany, and obliged to spend several most valuable months in negotiations for his personal security in the north and east frontier of his empire, has been totally lost; and the resources of the nation have been frittered away in a manner that fills the heart with grief and shame. It is not in the spirit of party nor from any motive of opposition to a particular set of men, that we deplore the present most calamitous posture of our affairs. Let any man look back on the operations of this campaign, or rather, on the whole series of military operations since the present ministers came into office, and say whether the energies of the English people have not been most scandalously and most lamentably wasted.
The able writers of the Edinburgh Review have put the matter in a very striking point of view. "We demand the reason," say they, "of locking up our army in the south-west corner of Portugal, when the great battle was fighting in the north-east extremity of Spain?—We ask, why so silly a measure was thought of as turning away our force to conquer an army necessarily in our power, should our allies be successful, and the conquest of which was worth nothing should our allies be beaten? We ask, what justification can be offered for so dastardly a conduct as avoiding the hazardous part of the contest, the struggle with the enemy's main body for the poor temptation of attacking an inferior and insulted body of his men, and making sure of beating them, as a miserable kind of badge in case our real game the game of our allies, should be lost?" It cannot now be said that they were unwilling to receive us; for sir Arthur Wellesley confesses he received a letter from sir Thomas Dyer, intimating to him, that the Junta of Oviedo wished him to embark at St. Andero, to join the patriot army there, the real seat of the war.
SENATE U. S.—FEB. 3.
Mr. GILES submitted the following resolutions for consideration:
Resolved, That the several laws laying an embargo on all ships and vessels in the ports and harbors of the U. States be repealed on the fourth of March next, except as to G. Britain and France, and their dependencies; and that provision be made by law for prohibiting all commercial intercourse with those nations and their dependencies, and the importation of any article into the U. States the growth, produce or manufacture of either of the said nations, or of the dominion of either of them.
Mr. GILES also submitted the following motion for consideration:
Resolved, That provision out to be made by law for interdicting all foreign armed ships from the waters of the United States.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Monday, Feb. 6.
The following resolutions were offered by Mr. Durell on Saturday, and referred to the committee of the whole on Mr. Nicholas's resolution:
Resolved, That the United States will consider any capture and condemnation of merchant vessels of the United States, owned wholly by a citizen or citizens thereof, and engaged in lawful commerce, by an armed vessel sailing under a belligerent flag, and acting by and under authority of orders, decrees or edicts, violating the lawful commerce of the United States, as a declaration of war on the part of that government to which said belligerent flag shall belong, and in whose courts such condemnation shall be had.
Resolved, That the President of the United States, on being satisfactorily informed of such capture and condemnation as aforesaid, be requested, forthwith, to recall from such
belligerent state, by and under whose authority such capture and condemnation shall be made, such resident minister or ministers of the United States as may reside at the government thereof.
Wednesday, Feb. 8.  NATIONAL ELECTION.
The Senate and House of Representatives met in Convention, to examine the vote for President and Vice-President. The following is the official result.
  President.   James Madison 122   Charles C. Pinckney 47   George Clinton 6 53   Majority for Madison 69   Vice-President.   George Clinton 113   Rufus King 47   John Langdon 9   James Madison 3   James Monroe 3 62   Majority for Clinton 51 
One of the votes of Kentucky was lost by the sickness of an elector.
Mr. Milledge the President pro tem. of the Senate, declared JAMES MADISON elected President, and GEORGE CLINTON elected Vice-President of the United States, for four years from the third day of March next.
The Senate then withdrew. THURSDAY, February 10.
The house were engaged, some part of this day, in propositions to amend the journal, by noticing thereon the circumstance of a vote of an elector of president and vice president, for the state of Kentucky, which was not given in, and of course not counted.
A motion was made by Mr. Macon for inserting upon the Journals the letter of Mathew Walton, (the elector who did not vote) which was addressed to the other electors of the state, and by them transmitted to the senate, which was negatived.
A resolution of Mr. J. G. Jackson, to amend the journal by stating the circumstance in question upon it, was also lost. Mr. TAYLOR moved that the committee of the whole should be discharged from the consideration of the bill to prohibit the importation of all goods, wares and merchandise, from the ports of Great Britain, France and their dependencies, and a resolution submitted by Mr. Rhea upon the same subject.
Mr. TAYLOR stated that his object was to have the bill recommitted. The subject of exportations to Great Britain and France not being contemplated by the bill, he wished to have it amended so as to include a provision for the prevention of exportation to those countries and their dependencies.
The committee was accordingly discharged.
Mr. TAYLOR then moved to refer the bill and the resolution to the committee of the whole, which has under consideration the resolutions for the repeal of the embargo, &c.
After a little conversation, the question was taken on the proposed reference, and lost—ayes 43, noes 56.
On motion of Mr. W. Alston, the bill and resolution on the subject of non-intercourse, was recommitted to the committee of foreign relations.
Mr. W. ALSTON then moved to discharge the committee of the whole from the consideration of the resolution for the repeal of the embargo, &c, submitted by Messrs Bacon and Nicholas.
After some debate, the question was taken on this motion by ayes and noes, and carried, 65 to 55.
Mr. RANDOLPH enquired whether, if the motion to refer was lost, the subjects would not be before the house. The Speaker said it would. Mr. R. then asked for the ayes and noes on the question to refer. They were ordered by the house.
Mr. BACON had no objection to the proposition of Mr. Nicholas for the repeal of the embargo, on which the committee of the whole had expressed an opinion, going to a select committee with instructions to bring in a bill in pursuance of that opinion. But as he had also submitted a resolution, permitting vessels to arm for defensive purposes, on which the house had expressed no opinion, he hoped these different matters would not be all mixed together, but that the question would be taken separately on the motion to refer.
The question of reference was discussed by Messrs. Taylor, W. Alston, Quincey, Garden, Milnor and Holland. At 8 o'clock, the question on the first member of the proposition, as divided on Mr. Bacon's call, was taken and carried—Ayes 55—Noes 36.
NAVIGATION LAWS.
The house then resolved itself into a committee of the whole, 43 to 30, Mr. Delha in the chair, on the bill reported by Mr. Dana, concerning associations for the security of navigation.
The bill provides, "That in cases wherein the armament of merchant vessels for defence may be allowed by any law of the United States, it shall be lawful for citizens of the U. States to agree, that any ships or vessels by them owned shall act in concert and be associated for mutual assistance and protection in any voyage or voyages not contrary to law and during any time or times which may be designated by instrument in writing duly executed by the owners or their authorised agents. The stipulations of the parties contained in such instrument may extend to the equipment and force of the vessels respectively, the relative authority of the masters or commanders, the appointment of places and times of rendezvous and failing, the regulation of signals, the direction of the general course of the voyage or voyages,

the orders to be observed in cases of separation or danger, and the making of arrangements for conducting and managing the respective vessels as may be most effectual for assistance in any case of peril or misfortune and for protecting all or any of them against forcible seizure or annoyance: Provided, That no such agreement or stipulation shall contravene any instructions or orders issued according to law by the president of the U. S.—That the respective ships or vessels shall be held for the stipulations contained in any such instrument concerning them and shall accordingly be chargeable for such compensation or indemnity as may be justly required on account of any failure to perform the same as well as for satisfying any reasonable claim of contribution on account of loss or damage incurred in pursuance thereof. The rates of contribution to be so made shall be apportioned to and among the respective vessels as the parties may have consented and declared by such instrument, or, in failure of such declaration, the apportionment of the same shall be adjusted by the competent court, &c."
The committee now rose and reported the bill, which was ordered to a third reading.
NON-INTERCOURSE. Mr. Nicholas, from the committee on our foreign relations (Mr. G. W. Campbell being detained from his seat by illness) reported a bill interdicting commercial intercourse between the United States and Great Britain and France, and for other purposes. The bill was twice read and referred to a committee of the whole on Tuesday next.
[This bill provides for a repeal of the embargo, except so far as relates to Great Britain and France, on the 4th day of March next, repealing almost entirely the provisions of the embargo laws affecting the coasting trade; and for a total non-importation from Great Britain & France, to commence on the 20th of May. It also excludes from the waters of the U. States, all armed vessels after the 4th of March next.]
Mr. Love after a few prefatory remarks, offered the following resolution, which was referred to a select committee with leave to report by bill or otherwise: Resolved, That the laws of the several states be regarded as the rules of proceeding on judgments and executions in the courts of the United States, except where the laws of the U. States shall otherwise provide.
Legislature of Massachusetts.
SENATE. THURSDAY, Feb. 2. IMPORTANT REPORT.
The committee on the several memorials from the people of a number of towns in this state, praying the interposition of the legislature in their behalf, in the present situation of our public affairs made a report in part.
After an able and highly interesting preamble, the committee recommended the passing of the following resolves and act: RESOLVES.
Resolved, That the act of the congress of the United States, passed on the 9th day of January in the present year, for enforcing the act laying an embargo, and the several acts supplementary thereto, is, in the opinion of the legislature, in many respects unjust, oppressive, and unconstitutional, and not legally binding on the citizens of this state. But notwithstanding this opinion, in order finally to secure a certain and permanent relief, it is earnestly recommended to all parties aggrieved by the operation of this act, to abstain from forcible resistance, and to apply for their remedy, in a peaceable manner, to the laws of the commonwealth.
Resolved, That a suitable remonstrance be prepared, and immediately forwarded to the congress of the United States, from this legislature, expressing their opinions and feelings, on the several subjects of complaint, contained in the said petitions, and particularly urging the repeal of the said act of congress, passed on the 9th day of January last.
Resolved, That the legislature of this commonwealth, will zealously co-operate with any of the other states, in all legal and constitutional measures for procuring such amendments to the constitution of the United States as shall be judged necessary to obtain protection and defence for commerce, and to give to the commercial states their fair and just consideration in the government of the union; and for affording permanent security, as well as present relief, from the oppressive measures under which they now suffer.
Resolved, That the honourable the president of the senate, and the honourable the speaker of the house of representatives, be requested to transmit a copy of this report, and the resolutions thereon, to the legislatures of such of our sister states, as manifest a disposition to concur with us in measures to rescue our common country from impending ruin, and to preserve inviolate the union of the states.
THE ACT. An act to secure the people of this commonwealth against unreasonable, arbitrary and unconstitutional searches in their dwelling houses. WHEREAS, it is declared and provided, in and by the fourteenth article of the declaration of rights of the inhabitants of the commonwealth of Massachusetts, that "every subject has a right to be secure from all unreasonable searches and seizures of his person, his house, his papers and possessions, and that all warrants are contrary to this right, if the cause or foundation of them is not previously supported by oath or affirmation." And whereas, it is also provided in and by the fourth article of the amendments to the constitution of the United States, that "the rights of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches, and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrant shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." And it being the duty of the legislature to protect the citizens of this state against the infringement of their essential rights, and to provide effectually for the punishment of those who violate them: Therefore,
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives, and by the authority of the same, That if any person or persons, after the passing of this act, in contempt and violation of the said provisions in the declaration of rights and constitution aforesaid, enter any dwelling house of any citizen of this commonwealth, situate within the fame, in the DAY time, to search the same or any piece or any articles of domestic growth, produce or manufacture, under pretence of any authority whatsoever, without or against the consent of the owner of such dwelling house, and without having a warrant therefor, supported by oath or affirmation, and issued by a magistrate having competent authority to issue the same, every person so offending shall be adjudged to be guilty of a high misdemeanor, and shall, on conviction thereof in the supreme judicial court, be sentenced by said court to a fine to the use of the commonwealth, not exceeding the sum of dollars, and to suffer imprisonment in the common jail of the county in which the conviction may be, for a term of time not exceeding months, or either of the said punishments, according to the circumstances and aggravation of said offence.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That if any person or persons, after the passing of this act, in contempt and violation of the said provisions in the declaration of rights and constitution aforesaid, shall enter any dwelling house of any citizen of this commonwealth, situate within the fame, in the NIGHT time, being armed with any offensive or deadly weapon, to search the same for any piece, or any articles of domestic growth, produce or manufacture, under pretence of any authority whatsoever, without or against the consent of the owner of such dwelling house, and not having a warrant therefor, supported by oath or affirmation, and issued by a magistrate, having competent authority to issue the same, every person so offending shall be adjudged to be guilty of a high misdemeanor, & shall on conviction thereof in the supreme judicial court, be sentenced by said court, to pay a fine to the use of the commonwealth, not exceeding the sum of dollars, and to suffer imprisonment in the common jail in the county in which the conviction may be, for a term of time not exceeding months, or either of said punishments, according to the circumstances and aggravation of said offence. Provided however, that nothing in this act shall be construed to affect, or in any manner impair, the remedy which any person might have had for damages, in a civil action, if this act had not passed.
The senate ordered 500 copies of the report, &c. to be printed, together with the new embargo law; and assigned Tuesday next, 11 o'clock, for considering the report. The report, which is long, being wanted to prepare the pamphlets, we are unable to publish the preamble this day.
An answer to the Lieut. Governor's speech, was reported in the senate; and to morrow, (this day) at 11 A. M. assigned for its consideration.
JOSEPH HAMILTON DAVEISS, Attorney, will resume his practice—He resides in Lexington.—All letters to him must be post paid.
Feb'y. 15th, 1809. WANTED.—A Journeyman Shoe-maker and Apprentice.
THE subscriber has just arrived from England, and is now carrying on his business of Boot & Shoe-making, in Mill street, four doors from Mr. Craig's Store, and opposite Mrs. Barton's. If all mankind were as great enemies to flattery as myself, they would use equally as little of it; therefore I have only informed the public where I am to be found, and where they may be supplied with Boots & shoes as good as can be got in Lexington, and on as reasonable terms.
THE PUBLICK ARE cautioned against purchasing from Andrew F. Price, or any other person, pretending to be the agent of the late house of Cockrane and Thursby of Philadelphia, any property of that house, because the subscriber has instituted suit against the said firm to subject the whole of their property in Kentucky to the demand of the subscriber.

KENTUCKY GAZETTE. LEXINGTON, MARCH 6.
On Tuesday last, the examination of the Young Ladies of Mrs. Beck's Academy commenced, and continued the two following days; during which they were examined on Spelling, Reading, Writing, Arithmetick, English Grammar, Geography, Astronomy, Music, &c. on each of which they acquitted themselves to the satisfaction of those ladies and gentlemen who attended. We were particularly pleased with a little Dramatick Performance on Thursday evening, the moral sentiments of which, being early impressed on their juvenile minds, will be lasting, and the precepts of Urania, profitably remembered.
LEXINGTON ACADEMY AND BOARDING-SCHOOL FOR YOUNG LADIES. Mrs. BECK most respectfully informs her friends and the publick, that her Academy will open again on Monday, March 13th, and that every branch of education hitherto taught, will be carried on with the same anxious care, that she trusts has, by this time, marked her character.—She is much gratified by having it in her power, to render the institution more extensively useful, by the additional talents of Mrs. Mentelle, of whose abilities she avails herself, in teaching the French language and Dancing. The following young ladies received honorary premiums at the late examination; viz. Miss Sophia Hunt, for English Syntax, Astronomy, Geography, and Natural Philosophy. Miss Sidney Boyd, for Parsing, Astronomical Problems, and Dramatick rehearsal. Miss Nannette Price, for reading and Arithmetick. Miss R. Warfield, for composition. Miss Mary M'Nair, for spelling. Miss Eliza January, for reading in the second class. Miss Stout, for spelling in the second class. And Miss Robert, in addition to the honorary premium, received an elegant Bible for the extraordinary beauty of her large and small hand writing.
The Editor with pleasure informs his patrons, that he is prepared to enlarge the Kentucky Gazette to a size at least equal to any paper in the Western Country—that he expects in a few weeks to receive a supply of elegant new type, when the Gazette will assume an appearance worthy of its extensive patronage.
On Saturday last there was a publick Dinner at the Kentucky Hotel, in this town, to celebrate the accession of James Madison to the Presidential Chair. John Fowler was appointed President, and James Morrison Vice President. After partaking of an elegant dinner, the following toasts were drank. 1. The illustrious successor of Jefferson—may his administration be as propitious as his virtues and talents are exalted. 2. Thomas Jefferson—may his retired life be as unclouded and happy, as his public has been useful and patriotic. 3. The memory of Washington. 4. The memory of Franklin. 5. The Constitution, and the Union—death to him who would violate them. 6. The Embargo—no repeal without an energetic substitute. 7. The Law—may its empire be preserved, and a just punishment inflicted on those who oppose its obligation. 8. Home Spun—may its use become general, and supplant the fabrics of Europe. 9. Canada—its conquest will form an appropriate pledge for British justice. 10. The Army—composed of Freemen, it will acquire glory, in a contest with European slaves. 11. The Navy—our brave Tars will wipe off the stigma of the Chesapeake. 12. The Heroes of the Revolution—if we have war, may their noble spirit animate the army of the United States. The Militia of the country—the best and safest defence of Freemen.
VOLUNTEERS. By the President. A union of all honest men. By the V. President. The Patriots in Congress. By H. Shaw. The President elect—may he leave his office with as much honour as his predecessor. By T. T. Barr. The Freedom of the seas—no treaty with England or France, until our rights are acknowledged. By W. Smith. Whilst the Eagle is over us none dare to intrude. Nor dare to the arms of our country be rude. By Maj. Dallam. The state of Kentucky. By R. Fraser. The memory of John Breckinridge. By W. W. Worsley. General Scott, the Governor of Kentucky, and those heroes and patriots, who achieved American independence. By the same. Transportation or decolonization to the enemies of American Liberty and Independence. By G. Coons. Benedict Arnold, Aaron Burr, and Timothy Pickering—the crimes of the two first excelled them from America—those of the latter deserve the same punishment. Many other Volunteer Toasts were drank, breathing the same spirit, but which we failed to take down in writing, and do not distinctly recollect.
We have seen several letters from Orleans and Natchez, mentioning a prevailing report at those places of the Floridas having been ceded to England. The archduke Constantine of Russia, (says the National Intelligencer,) is created king of Poland.
The nomination Gen. Dearborn, as collector of the port of Boston, has been approved by the Senate, 25 to 7.
Col. Duane's appointment in the U. S. army, has been confirmed by the Senate, 21 to 10.
RICHARD BRENT has been chosen to the Senate of the U. S. for Virginia, vice Mr. Moore.
The following remarks are from the Aurora.
Perhaps the annals of legislation do not afford an example of a vote so extraordinary as that of the raising of the embargo in the house of representatives, on the 3d instant. The principles of the embargo—and the policy upon which it was entered into have undergone no change whatever. The belligerents have neither rescinded nor modified their restraints upon neutral commerce. Not a port is open now that was not opened twelve months ago, and many that were then open, have since been closed. What then could have produced such a vote?
We have never, on great public occasions suffered individual interests to withhold great and necessary truths. It is a solemn and a serious truth, that the vote in question was the effect of panic—artificially produced on a considerable number of members of congress who under influence of that panic, have been weak enough to give a vote, which if they have any sensibility, they will repent as long as they have life.
The system settled, and peace preserved! The caucus, at Washington, on Monday evening, was rather a publick than a private meeting. The doors were not closed. Several moderate republicans, and one federalist, attended. Mr. GILES made an able speech in a style compassionate and conciliatory towards the eastern people. Messrs. EPPES and J. G. JACKSON abandoned the war system. It was decided by 61 votes to 2, to REPEAL THE EMBARGO on the 4th of March. Messrs. Bassett and Taylor were the dissenters. It was decided not to issue letters of Marque. The question of an ARMED COMMERCE was fairly left open for decision in the house. The volunteer army bill was given up. A NON INTERCOURSE LAW is to be passed, to take effect at a distant day, if another effort for peace shall fail.—An ARMY of sixteen thousand men is to be raised, and the executive is to be authorised to borrow TEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. We do not approve this system in all its parts. But we are inclined to believe it will preserve the peace of the country, at least with Great Britain.
Free. Journal. In Relf's Gazette of last evening, was published the first paragraph of the following letter. The three subsequent paragraphs, which relate to the necessity of a vigorous and resolute conduct on the part of our government towards Great Britain, were suppressed; yet there are people in America who do not believe that Britain has her pretexts as well as her emmissaries in our ports.—(Democratic Press.)
Extract of a letter received from a gentleman in Liverpool, dated Nov. 9.
"On the 26th instant, an American schooner arrived here, said to be from New-York, loaded with 400 barrels turpentine and 41 bales cotton. She brought one of the owners out, who, I understand, is a Mr. Marshall, a Scotch gentleman; but as she is without papers, the captain of the Princess frigate seized her yesterday, and the probably will be condemned as a droit of Admiralty. I understand the American consul has taken cognizance of this breach of the law of his country, and that the American minister has been made acquainted with the fact. I think the schooner's name is Jane. Be so good as to publish in the newspapers for the information of gentlemen who are disposed to evade the wise measures government has resorted to, that all such vessels will be seized, and that they are liable to confiscation. "I hope the government will more rigidly enforce the embargo; its consequences on this country are sure to produce decided effects if persevered in. I am confident the people cannot subsist until next harvest, unless they have supplies from America."
"The president's message is looked for with great anxiety; it is expected to be hostile towards this country, and many people calculate on an non-intercourse bill and more rigid enforcement of the embargo, &c. &c. "If your electors are in favour of democratic characters, the country will be saved; if not, I am apprehensive of the consequences. I heartily join the patriotic part of my countrymen, and say, NO TRIBUTE."
The state of Maryland to all our Bailiffs and good people to whom these presents shall come, GREETING.
Whereas John M'Daniel, George Wallalger, Barney Jordan, Joseph S. Crane, John Bryan, Jacob Cable, John Gidelman and Samuel Davidson, at a Court of Oyer and Terminer and a Jail Delivery, for Baltimore county, held in January 1809,—were presented for assaulting, beating and tarring and feathering Robert Beatty.
And, whereas on their submission they have been fined each 50 dollars, and sentenced to three months imprisonment, except Samuel Davidson, who was fined 20 dollars, & sentenced to be imprisoned one month—all of whom, at the expiration of their respective imprisonments are further sentenced to enter into a recognizance before the court or one of the justices of the fame, in the sum of 500 dollars each, with security in the like sum of 500 dollars, to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for the term of 12 months—
And, whereas the said John M'Daniel, George Wallalger, Barney Jordan, Joseph S. Crane, John Bryan, Jacob Cable, John Gidelman, and Samuel Davidson, have petitioned for a pardon of said sentence, in which a number of the most respectable citizens of Baltimore have united:
And, whereas it has been proved by satisfactory testimony, that said Robert Beatty is a British subject who lately deserted from the island of Bermuda;—that the said Beatty abused the Americans, declaring them a set of rebels, the offspring of convicts, transported for thieving, murder and treason—that the President and Congress were a set of French Jacobins,
that they supplied Bonaparte with money to carry on his wars—that if a war took place between this country and Great Britain, he would join Great Britain, and fight against this country:—
And, whereas it has been represented that all the said persons are native Americans, mostly shoemakers—that the said Beatty is a shoemaker, and that they warned him against such abuse, declaring they would tar and feather him—that he persisted in it, and in consequence of that insult, they committed said offence:—
And, whereas, at this crisis, when our national honour is insulted by Great Britain, our citizens under their influence murdered, in the execution of our laws, and the murderers refused by force from condign punishment; when, by proclamation, the king of Great Britain has invited our citizens to violate our laws, and treasonably give aid and comfort to our enemies—a spark of honest zeal for their country's cause, and a respect for their ancestors, appear to have led them to this transgression of the letter of the law, to defend the spirit and principles of the revolution, and the character of their progenitors. I have no doubt, from the practice of our ancestors, during our glorious revolution, this is one of the cases, contemplated by the framers of the constitution, in which the prerogative of mercy was intended to be exercised:—
In consideration whereof, I have thought proper to pardon the said John M'Daniel, George Wallalger, Barney Jordan, Joseph S. Crane, John Bryan, Jacob Cable, John Gidelman, and Samuel Davidson, for the said offence—and do hereby order and direct, that they be released from the confinement to which they have been adjudged, immediately on the receipt of this.

Notice. AFTER about three years' anxious pursuit and meditation, I have at length made a complete discovery of the Perpetual Motion in Theory, 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 discovery. I am anxious that it should be put in practice as soon as possible, so that the public may receive the benefit resulting from this noble principle, so long withheld by them. Henry Fenk.
