THE way to keep the money circulating in this state, is to encourage home manufactures. The rapid importation of many articles that the citizens of this state can make equal in quality and more durable in wear, has of late become a very serious evil to the inhabitants of this western country. In the single article of Ladies' Shoes, it is estimated that not less than 20,000 dollars worth is annually imported into Lexington. The subscriber willing to lessen the inconvenience, has commenced manufacturing Ladies' Slippers at a very reduced price of six shillings and nine pence per pair. The quality of his work, and the unusual low price, he is persuaded will secure him the patronage of a discerning public. Those merchants who have expressed a patriotic desire to encourage domestic manufactures, may now have an opportunity of sending their orders to
Hugh Crawford. On Main street corner of Main Cross street An allowance will be made to those who buy to sell again, and credit given if required, by giving approved endorsed notes, payable at the insurance office. Journey men and apprentices are wanted.

All you that have my stone received And find them not to suit, I'll haul the offals back again, And send a fresh recruit.
Great contention long has been, Who can good water find, But I am sure although unfeen, For all I am half blind.
I will dig wells you all do know, Good water I can find, In spite of patent laws I'll show, For nought I will be kind.
Good time I have always on hand, Supply'd you all can be, However great is the demand Come friends, come unto me.

JUST PUBLISHED, And for sale at this office, THE MONITOR. By Archibald Cameron, minister of the gospel
Extract of a letter from the gentleman to whom the Marquis de Casa Yrujo's letter was addressed to, and which was published by Col. Smith, to a friend in this city.
SIR, I was not a little surprised, as well as displeased, at the appearance in the public prints, of the Marquis de Casa Yrujo's letter to me upon the subject of the Americans taken in Miranda's Schooners and carried to Carraccas. It was done not only without my consent, but also without any previous application to me for it. There is nothing in it however which merits the retort which has been made upon it in the New-York Daily Advertiser, for it was evidently dictated by sentiments of humanity towards the individual implicated, and of respect towards his family. Feelings like these, which adorn rather than discredit him who entertains and acts upon them, have, in this instance, been very ill requited.
The disclosure required as a condition, was such as policy required, in order to render the Marquis's "intercession effectual" with the Governor General, or Grand Council of the Province, and was such also as his duty to his Sovereign demanded of him, in justification of so direct an interference in a matter of high importance, and not within the Marquis's administration, or under his immediate controul.
I lament the part which a desire to promote the Marquis de Casa Yrujo's benevolent intentions, and a still stronger will to render service to the young gentleman and his family had induced me to take in this affair, because a use has been made of it, which was not to have been expected, but must necessarily operate to prevent in future, any similar overtures, even in cases where the lives of our friends and citizens would be considered as cheaply purchased by a disclosure. [Those Printers who published the correspondence above mentioned, will also give this a place in their respective papers.]
AFFECTING INCIDENT.
The following affecting circumstances lately happened at Paris. A lady of fortune and her only daughter, an elegant and lovely young woman, resided in the Faubourg St. Germain. A young man of merit and accomplishments, but unaided by the powerful pretensions of suitable fortunes, cherished a passion for the young lady, to whom he had frequent access, on account of his being distantly related to her. His affections were requited with return, and before the parent suspected the attachment, the lovers were solemnly engaged. The indications of pure love are generally too unguarded to escape the keen observing eye of a cold, mercenary mother. She charged her daughter with her fondness and forbade her distressed lover the house. To close every avenue of hope, she withdrew with her wretched child into Italy, where they remained for two years; at the expiration of which, the mother had arranged for her daughter a match more congenial to her own pride and avarice, with an elderly gentleman, who had considerable fortune and property in the vicinity of Bordeaux. Every necessary preparation was made for their cruel union which it was determined should be celebrated in Paris, to which city they returned for that purpose. Two days before the marriage was intended to take place, the young lover, wrought up to phrenzy by the intelligence of the approaching nuptials, contrived, by bribing the porter whilst the mother was at the opera with her intended son-in-law, to reach the room of the beloved being from whom he was about to be separated forever. Emaciated by grief, he presented the mere spectre of what he was when he last left her. As soon as he entered the room, he fell senseless at her feet, from which state he was roused by the fits of her frightful maniac laughter. She stared upon him like one bewildered. He clasped her with one hand, and with the other drew from his pocket a phial containing double distilled laurel water; he pressed it to her lips until she had swallowed half of its contents; the remainder he drank himself. The drug of death soon began to operate. Clasped in each others arms, pale and expiring, they reviewed their hard fate, and in faint and lessening sentences, implored of the Great God of mercy, that he would pardon them for what they had done, and that he would receive their spirits into his regions of eternal repose; that he would be pleased, in his divine goodness, to forgive the misjudging severity which had driven them to despair, and would support the unconscious author of it, under the heavy afflictions, which their disastrous deaths would occasion. They had scarcely finished their prayer, when they heard footsteps approaching the
room. Madame R——, who had been indisposed at the Opera returned home before its conclusion, with the intended bridegroom. The young man awoke, as it were, from his deadly drowsiness, and, exerting his last strength, pulled from his breast a dagger, stabbed the expiring being upon whom he doted, to the heart; and falling upon her body, gave himself several mortal wounds. The door opened and the frantic mother appeared. All the house was in an instant alarmed; and the fatal explanation which furnished the materials for this short and sad recital, was taken from the lips of the dying lover, who had scarcely expelled it before he breathed his last.
RIOT NEAR THE LONDON DOCKS.
On Sunday afternoon, a desperate affray took place between a number of Irish laborers and some American seamen (belonging to the ships in the London Docks) in the Broadway adjoining the Docks.
The quarrel originated between an American and an Irishman, respecting a woman of the town. A battle ensued, and the Irishman having got the worst of it, went away, and returned in the course of an hour (about 5 o'clock,) with a strong reinforcement of his countrymen, armed with broom-sticks, bludgeons, pokers, and various other sort of weapons, which they brandished in the air, and with violent imprecations, dared the Tunkers , as they termed them, to the fight. The Americans who were numerous, assembled in a body for their own protection, but did not attempt to commit or provoke any breach of the peace. Their forbearance however, only tended to render the Irishmen more furious, and they shewed every disposition to commence an immediate attack. Some of the Americans induced by the threatening aspect of affairs, procured from on board a few weapons, but not sufficient to arm the whole. This was taken by the sons of St. Patrick for a challenge to a trial of skill with the shillela , and they instantly made a furious attack on the Americans, who defended themselves stoutly, but were defeated in the end, with broken heads, legs, &c. after a most severe and bloody contest. Upwards of 200 Americans were wounded more or less; 6 of them so dangerously, that they were obliged to be carried off the ground. A young man had his skull fractured, and lies without hopes of recovery at the White Heart, Neptune Street; one had both his legs broken, and was taken in a hopeless state to the London Hospital; another unfortunate man had one leg broken, and is by no means free from danger. An American captain, we understand, among those most hurt in the affray. The success of the Irish made them quite outrageous after the result of the battle was known. Reinforcements were constantly arriving, who enlisted under the banners of Murdoch Sullivan, the reputed leader. They boasted their hats on their weapons, and vociferated loudly, "Liberty and Vinegar Hill for ever!"
This serious commotion excited a general alarm in the neighbourhood, and notice of the proceedings was transmitted to the Police Officers in that district, when Sir D. Williams, Mr. Davies, of Lambert Street Office, and other Magistrates, assembled, together with a large posse of constables, headboroughs, and police officers, and repaired to the spot, where the rioters were still parading in great numbers. About 40 of the most active were apprehended, and lodged in the several watch houses in the vicinity of Tower-hill. Guards from the volunteer corps in the district were placed over them all night.
Yesterday morning the rioters were escorted to Lambert Street Office, Goodman's fields, where they underwent an examination. About fifteen of the wounded Americans (all who were able) attended to give evidence against the Irishmen. They exhibited a deplorable sight. On investigation, it appeared that the Irishmen were the aggressors; 23, out of 40 brought up for examination, were clearly identified from having an active part in the affray; 15 of these were fully committed for trial, and eight, who had been less violent than the rest, were sent on board the tender. A woman who was identified among the crowd on the outside of the office, as the person who gave to an Irishman, at the time of the conflict, a clasp knife for a weapon, was taken into custody, examined and fully committed.
Before the American seamen were suffered to depart the Court, one of the Magistrates called their attention to a few words he had to say. He reminded them of a riot which took place some time ago, in the neighbourhood of Wapping, in which some American seamen were the principal actors. On that occasion the Americans were found culpable, and punished accordingly. He did not mean to say, that any of those present were concerned, but he wished to impress upon their minds that the law of this country were equally administered to persons of all nations. The Americans were in this instance the injured parties, and justice should be done them. He was happy to say that from all that appeared, the Americans had conducted themselves in this unpleasant
affair with prudence and discretion; and any violence that had been manifested by them was only in their own defence. He concluded by exhorting them on all future occasions to act with prudence and due forbearance, and they would be sure to meet with the same respect and protection from the jaws as British subjects.
FROM THE PALLADIUM.
MR. HUNTER,
The annexed statement given by the Hon. Samuel M'Dowel, refers to the following paragraphs, contained in the first part of the "Kentucky Spanish Association," &c. published by the Editors of the Western World, in the first number of that paper, viz.
First--with regard to the Spanish negotiation, Gardoque commenced his operations by founding Mr. John Brown, member of Congress for Kentucky, then in Philadelphia, on the subject. Having discovered in Mr. Brown an accommodating disposition towards the Spanish government; he directly made proposals for a separation of the state of Kentucky from the United States, in favour of Spain, on the following conditions, with an assurance to Mr. Brown, if they were carried into effect, he himself should be raised to the dignity of a Spanish Grandee, with a suitable pension for life.
1st. That the citizens would be allowed the privilege of their laws, and no restraint placed on them in respect to religious matters.
2d. That the navigation of the Mississippi would be equally free to the Kentuckians, as to the other subjects of Spain.
3d. That in all other matters the Kentuckians would remain on the same footing with the Louisianians.
Whether the terms were complied with on the part of Mr. Brown, we know not; but they are narrated in a letter written at that period to the Hon. Samuel M'Dowel, of Jessamine county, one of the circuit judges of the state. Mr. Brown was then said to be on the point of marriage with Mr. M'Dowel's daughter; and it is very natural to suppose he should embrace this opportunity of informing his intended father-in-law of the honours which were to be conferred on him at the Spanish court.
From an attentive perusal of Col. M'Dowel's statement, it is manifest that the above paragraphs contain absolute falsehoods. Every unprejudiced reader will therefore be cautious in believing the numerous and improbable charges which are exhibited in the "Western World," until they are supported by satisfactory proof--as yet none have been adduced.
DETECTOR.
[CERTIFICATE.]
Having observed in the Western World a publication in which Mr. John Brown is charged with having been engaged in a treasonable conspiracy, to transfer and subject this country to the dominion of Spain, and having seen with surprize that a letter written to me in 1788, by Mr. Brown, is referred to as containing the evidence of his guilt, I do in justice to Mr. Brown, hereby declare that I never received from him any communication either written or verbal, which could authorise or justify the statement contained in that publication.
In the year 1788, when the application of the people of Kentucky to be admitted into the union as an independent state, was depending before the Congress, Mr. Brown was a member of that body; and was, as I have reason to believe, very anxious that Kentucky should be received into the Union as a state, and used his best exertions to effect that object.
After the application had been laid over for the consideration of the new government, Mr. Brown wrote me a letter informing me of the fate of the application, and stating the reasons in his opinion of the failure. In that letter was enclosed a paper containing a statement in the handwriting of Mr. Brown, of which the following is the substance, and to the best of my recollection, the very words made use of, viz.
"In a conversation I had with Mr. Gardoque, the Spanish minister, relative to the navigation of the Mississippi, he stated that if the people of Kentucky would erect themselves into an independent state, and appoint a proper person to negotiate with him, that he had authority for that purpose, and would enter into an arrangement with them
for the exportation of their produce to New Orleans on terms of mutual advantage."
That paper contained the above remarks only, for Mr. Brown, subjoined no observations expressive either of his approbation or disapprobation, which induced me to conclude that it had been forwarded merely for information. Mr. Brown never intimated to, either at that time or any other, that Mr. Gardoque had ever on any pretence, made him any propositions tending to his personal aggrandizement, as has been erroneously suggested in the Western World. And as to the alleged project of subjecting Kentucky to the government of Spain, and of raising an army to maintain and revolt against the United States; I do declare that nothing of the kind was ever suggested to me by Mr. Brown, nor to the best of my recollection did I ever hear that such ideas were at any time advanced or advocated by him, or any other person in the western country, until I saw the charges published in the Western World.
I regret very much that it is not in my power at present to find the letter and paper above mentioned, I fear they are lost or destroyed.
About ten years ago I removed to Jessamine, from Mercer county, and left my son Joseph in possession of my house, in which I left a large bundle of old letters and papers. Three or four years after my removal, my son informed me that all the old letters and papers I had left behind were destroyed; and as I cannot find the letter and paper referred to among the papers now in my possession, I suspect they were among those left in Mercer county.
SAMUEL M'DOWEL. August 4, 1806.
The Editors of the Western World, and those printers who have inserted the "Kentucky Spanish Association," are requested to give the above a place in their respective papers.
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE WESTERN COUNTRY.
PROFESSIONAL engagements have hitherto prevented me from bestowing on Wood's Conspiracy that attention which the objects of such a publication abundantly merits; but the little leisure which I have had, has been employed in making enquiries into the truth of what is there advanced as a matter of fact. The result of my enquiries has been such, that I am inclined to believe that the publication in question, contains hardly a solitary word of truth. My reasons are these--The statement contains many things which from the nature of the case, do not admit of direct proof in the negative; and it contains many which are insceptible of such proof. Now most of those to which negative evidence can be applied, I know to be false--I know from testimony which would maintain an issue in a court of justice. I conclude then, that those to which evidence in the negative cannot be applied, equally so. I will illustrate this by a familiar example--A man tells you he has paid you a sum of money on such a day--you know he did not--you know therefore that he tells a lie. He tells you then, that he paid it to your brother for you; in presence of your cousin; they both contradict him. He next says that he paid it to your cousin, in presence of your brother, and is again contradicted. Yet this same man tells you, that a friend of yours, long confided in, and lately dead, had attempted to hire him to assassinate you, I presume you would not believe it without proof--without strong proof; and proof of which this man's word would make no part. Yet, it would be impossible to prove that your friend did not make such proposals; but if he did make them, it would not be impossible to prove that. Now lets us apply this to the Western World:--The Editors of that paper have said, that Mr. Brown communicated certain things to Judge M'Dowel--Judge M'Dowel's statement, which is now before the public, proves that assertion is absolutely false. They have said, that general Wilkinson made a motion in the Convention, for forming a separate Constitution, independent of the appropriation of the state of Virginia, or as their Observer has it, for forming a junction with Spain. The President of the Convention I know will certify that no such motion was made by Wilkinson, or any other man; and I believe every member of the Convention will join the attestation.
They have said that gen. Bowles was at a particular time in Kentucky.

17, in the character of a clandestine negotiator. Without going out of the town of Frankfort, I will prove that Gen. Bowles was, during the whole of that time, in the West Indies. And after all this, we are to take the simple assertion of such men for the existence of a fact, incapable in its nature of being disproved, but abundantly capable of being proved, if it had existence. They have said that a design of subjecting Kentucky to the dominion of Spain, was entertained by a number of individuals. How can we prove that it did not, otherwise than by proving the uniform patriotism, and inflexible integrity of those charged; and the falsehood of those making the accusation. To prove the non-existence of the design is not in nature. Suppose these men should charge me with a design of setting fire to the town of Lexington, or of subjecting Kentucky to the Dey of Algiers, or Emperor of Morocco, how could I prove that I had no such design? Would you not enquire, Has he expressed a wish to do it? Has he said he would? Has he devised any plans for carrying it into execution? Or, would you bring me in guilty on the assertion of Wood & Co. unless I could prove I had no such design?
These men take it very hard that they are called on for proof, and God knows, in their case, it is a hardship; and I am sorry, having no personal enmity against them, that instead of relieving, I must encrease their embarrassment. But the cause of truth, a cause to which they profess much devotion, requires it, and I hope they will excuse me.
Impiis. —I call on them for proof that such a conspiracy as they talk of ever did exist among any set of men, white, red, or black.
2dly.—I call on them for proof that general Wilkinson ever made such a motion as they allege he did, in any Convention in this state.
3dly.—I call on them for proof that Mr. Brown ever wrote such a letter as they allege he did, to Judge M'Dowell; and they will please to make this proof strong enough to destroy the credibility of Judge M'Dowell's oath, which will be opposed to it.
4thly.—I call on them for proof that Newman ever travelled to the Eastward, or any other place with Mr. Brown; or that they ever had any conversation on any subject whatever.
5thly.—I call on them to prove that general Bowles was in Kentucky at the time they allege, on the business they say he came, or on any business whatever.
But a word as to the kind of evidence. I must inform these gentlemen that neither the conjectures of a jealous old man, whether drunk or sober, nor an exploded electioneering lie, are evidence here, either in a court of justice or honor; nor are they to convert their own conjectures or suspicions into facts, by shewing that others have entertained them. They have stated things as facts, and fact is demanded—Knowledge and Truth are required.
They ask is not oral testimony admissible? And have they not referred us to living witnesses? Verily, they have. They have referred us to Judge M'Dowell that their fundamental statements is true, and he says unequivocally, that it is false. They have referred us to the members of the Convention—they flatly contradict the assertion: And other living witnesses to whom they have not referred us, do the same. What then, are we to undertake a pilgrimage to Madrid to seek Gardoque— to Algiers in quest of Bowles? or to Labrador in search of Conolly, to know whether they too, will give the lie to this statement? I had once thought that they who affirm ought to prove.
Every candid man will say, that after this, it is incumbent on them to show that at some time—on some occasion—on some subject, they have published at least one truth, to raise a doubt of the falsehood of everything they state—At present, every presumption is against them—none in their favour.
Yet, these are the men who compliment themselves, as the exclusive proprietors of patriotism and impartiality, and brands as conspirators, sycophants, and hireling writers all who oppose them. I shall enter into no controversy on these points. During six years residence in Kentucky, I have become acquainted with many of its citizens, and am known to thousands with whom I never had a personal interview, and it Wood & Co. can persuade any man of either description, that I am a partizan or hireling
writer, in God's name let him believe it. I shall never stoop to defend myself against such a charge.
I shall pursue this enquiry at my leisure, as long as I shall think it necessary, which will be until Wood's Conspiracy, to use his own language is loaded with the contempt of all good men. But in undertaking this investigation, I have been influenced by no enmity against Wood & Street. I have no personal quarrel with them, nor do I seek one. I believe (and their own conscience will tell them whether I do them more credit than they deserve) that they have been grossly imposed on—that they have been prevailed on to put themselves forward as the avowed authors of a farago of falsehood and folly, under an impression, that the informers are men of veracity, and that every necessary evidence would be furnished. I presume they are already convinced, that they have reposed more confidence than they ought—that they ought to have reposed none, they will be convinced when too late. They will then wish (if they do not already) that they had introduced this stuff by its real name a Communication , that the inventors as well as the retailers, might have been "loaded with contempt" in the end. If I am wrong in this conjecture, the error consists in giving these men credit, for more principle than they possess, so they can soon get me right. I have said that I do not seek a quarrel with the Editors of this paper, but I wish it understood, that I shall not be diverted from my purpose by any measures which they may think proper to adopt. It cannot be supposed that I am in any dread of their literary talents; and if I find them descending to personal abuse, I shall find means to raise them without sinking myself.
I have been informed that a piece published in their paper of last week, imitating the title of the Old Testament, has been imputed to me. I am not the author; and have to request that those who have commented me so far as to impute it to me, will subtract from the respect which they feel for my talents as much as they think that piece merits, and give the difference to the real author, if they can find him—I am not entitled to it, and he no doubt has need of it.
WILLIAM LITTELL. Frankfort, August 14, 1806.
TO JOHN WOOD.
Your Sir, know why Col. M'Dowell in his letter of the 26th of July, did not express his surprise at the statement given in the Western World, in regard to Mr. Brown. You know that he had already declared it false publicly, and to your face, in Frankfort. Where then was the necessity of his writing to you, from home, what he had told you personally, just before he went home?
Patriotic, impartial, persecuted man! why did you not subject this statement of truth when you joined Judge M'Dowell's letter? you had a hope, a little hope, that by withholding it, you might make that venerable Judge appear inconsistent. It is a pity that you did not know that no man could injure Judge M'Dowell's character, who had not some character of his own.
But Judge M'Dowell has willed you some prosperity, (and I wonder who had more need of such wishes,) and the same Judge has said he was your very humble servant. Yet he is not your servant, but the President of the General court. What inconsistency! who can know what to make of this?
Let me congratulate you on your living witnesses; Joseph George, your last one lays your statement is false. How will you like him for a certificateman . Indeed Mr Wood this appealing to living witnesses will ruin you. You must hereafter appeal to such as are dead, or have run away; then if you are condemned, it will not be out of your own mouth.
"After my best wishes for your prosperity, believe me to be your friend and Very humbl. servt."
WILLIAM LITTELL.

LEXINGTON, AUGUST 18.
Owing to the absence from Lexington of several members of the Kentucky Musical Society, the Concert, which was to have been given on this evening, is necessarily postponed.
The mail from the Eastward had not arrived when this paper went to press
COMMUNICATIONS.
"Such noxious serpens creeping from their slough, By squibs & crackers might be killed as well."
The Editors of the Western World like their great prototype, Callender, vilify every virtuous man they are directed, and like Callender, find themselves shielded by their infamy.
The Editors of the Western World believe themselves great folks—they can raise men from obscurity into notice, and plunge them again "into insignificance." But are they aware that they have brought themselves into notice, in the same manner that the two thieves were, who were approximated to our Saviour? Infamy has sometimes forced ruffians and clowns into good company; but they have taken the hint too, on leaving it.
The Editors of the Western World forgetful of the adage, "That two of a trade can't agree," complain of Squib makers. But Tyro like, instead of real Squibs that burn and leave a smart, they use only pop-guns—the more wind the more noise.
In every printing office, there is of necessity a "Printer's Devil," whose business is to clean the Types, and do the dirty work—the Editors of the World seem to have advanced no farther—they are only "Printer's Devils."
A gentleman who considered himself injured by the Editors of the Western World, met Wood and told him that he felt disposed to inflict personal chastisement on him at that moment. Oh! Sir,—said Wood,—you're mistaken in the mon—you're looking for Mr. Strait—he's a fighting, I only do the writing.
Where—Was it arranged between the Editors, that one should be principal bully, and the other principal blackguard? They seem to form a natural partnership enough—the blackguard always has his bully.
MR. EDITOR,
I have been a constant reader of the Western World since its establishment, and find the Editors to be fond of introducing scraps of poetry, some original, and some selected—I have lately laid my hands on a small volume, extracts from which, I will occasionally send you for their amusement—I will also annex some explanatory observations.
QUIZICUS.
Two notorious personages who had emigrated from Virginia to the state in which the poet lived, are thus noticed:
"Them on her soil Virginia could not bear, The vipers sickened in that purer air, Then rush'd abroad, like demons in disguise Borne on the wings of malice, rage and lies; To this fam'd state, a nuisance and a pest To curse their betters and abuse the best."
Like the famous Editors of Frankfort, the notorious personages above mentioned, seem to have looked about for employment, and to have told wonderful tales of their own qualifications—this is noticed in the following lines:
"Have you a printing press? Upaz a quill, We have not now, the wil wights wight; still But if you'll promise work, we can with ease Provide a press and play what tune you please"
Scarcely had the press been started, when one of the adventurers vaunted much of his own personal prowess, in the hope that vaunting would serve his purpose as well as deeds; but a citizen not terrified at his boasting, called upon him for satisfaction, and the adventurer gently backed out—our poet thus notices him:
"Since ink thank heaven! is all the blood you spill, Health to the driver of the grey goose quill Such war shall leave no widow in despair, Nor curse one orphan with the public care."
MIRANDA.
New-York, July 30.—Captain Wood, of the brig Mary, from the island of Trinidad, failed from thence the 10th inst. and informs, that General Miranda, in the ship Leander, under British colours, arrived there the 23d June from Baradoes. The British sloop of war Lilly arrived in company. Miranda brought with him about 200 men, and was recruiting his force at Trinidad, 300 having already enlisted. Several of the inhabitants of Caracacas had come over for the purpose of joining the expedition, and had enlisted into the service. Several of the first characters at Trinidad were going to the Main with Miranda. The crew of the Leander
was in high spirits, and the inhabitants of Trinidad were confident of success. It was reported, that Gen. Hillop had offered his services to go with the expedition. The command of the Leander was given to Capt. Johnson. The colours intended to be hoisted on effecting a landing on the Main, were red, blue, and yellow.
Letters from Trinidad, by the Mary, contain the following information:
"We have this day received such intelligence, as places things in a favourable point of view, that hardly a doubt of success remains. We shall certainly leave this in a few days, and as certainly effect a landing, from whence I shall immediately write you."
"We are making every preparation for the point in view, and shall leave this in 6 days, and in ten more, the fate of the country will be decided. Our force is respectable, of which I would give you a correct statement, but for a reason which has prevented my writing as fully as I wish, that is, lest my letters should fall into improper hands on their passage. Reports from the Main state, that Government is tremblingly alive, and they treat the prisoners, our friends, with a degree of lenity which was not generally expected."
The following is a proclamation of Gen. Miranda, issued on the 28th June:
"Friends & Countrymen!"
"The glorious opportunity now presents itself of releasing from oppression and arbitrary government, a people who are worthy of a better fate, who ought to enjoy the blessings of the finest country in the universe, which bountiful Providence has given them, but who are shackled by a despotism too cruel for human nature longer to endure. Groaning under the present afflictions, they hail with extended arms the noble cause of freedom and independence, and call upon you to share with them in the godlike action of relieving your distressed fellow-creatures. Hasten then to join the standard of ONE who has the happiness to call himself your countryman, and is determined to rescue his country, and to shed the last drop of his blood in promoting its happiness. An object of which he has never lost sight, for a moment of his life."
"There will be made a liberal distribution of land at the expiration of a twelve month, according to rank; and privates, from the instant of enrollment, will be entitled to provisions and clothing, with a quarter dollar per day as pay, not subject to any deductions."
"And you brave volunteers of the islands who have nobly come forward to partake with us our honors, and to share with us our property, hasten to follow those officers under whose care you have already been trained, and who are impatient to lead you on to victory and Wealth."
"The gulf that Columbus first discovered and honoured with his presence, will now witness the illustrious actions of your gallant efforts."— Self's Phil. Gaz.
Extract of a letter received at Norfolk on the twenty-sixth inst. by the brig St. Brides, 15 days from Tortola, from Admiral Cochrane to Colonel Hamilton, the British Consul.
"Northumberland, off Tortola, July 12."
"I have just a moment to tell you that we followed the French fleet to the West end of the Tortola passage, they going off before the wind. Their force two 84's and four 74's—my force three 74's and one 64; had they kept their course. I meant to have paid them a visit after dark, but they made sail to the Northward, and I saw three more ships join—I then returned to Tortola, which island, with the convoy, was to have been destroyed the day I appeared—I hope to be re-inforced, and yet to see them to good purpose."

THE GUARDIAN SPIRIT.
FROM THE GERMAN OF MATTHISON.
When e'er day-light's parting gleam, A smiling form salutes my love, And hovers near the murm'ring stream, And glides beneath the conscious grove: Ah! then thy Henry's spirit see: Soft joy and peace it brings to thee.
And when at moon-light's sober ray Thou dream'st perchance of love and me, As thro' the pines the breezes play, And whisper dying melody,— When tender bodings prompt the sigh— Thy Henry's spirit hovers high.
When o'er the mind soft musings steal, As thou the pleasing past has scann'd; Shouldst thou a gentle pressure feel, Like zephyr's kiss, o'er lip and hand;— And should the glimm'ring taper fade— Then near thee bides thy lover's shade.
And when at midnight's solemn tide As soft the rolling planets shine— Like Eulis' harp, thy couch beside, Thou hear'st the words—forever thine! Then slumber sweet, my spirit's there, And peace and joy it brings my fair.
"TRIFLES LIGHT AS AIR"
COURTSHIP. —The New-Hollanders observe no particular ceremony in their marriages, though their mode of courtship is not without its singularity. When a young man fies a female to his fancy, he informs her she must accompany him home; if the lady refuses, he not only enforces compliance with threats, but with blows; thus, the galant, according to the custom, never fails to gain the victory, and bears off the willing, though struggling pugilist. The colonists for some time entertained the idea that women were compelled and forced away against their consent; but the young ladies informed them, that this mode of gallantry was the custom, and perfectly to their taste.

NOTICE.
ALL persons are hereby forewarned from taking an assignment of a BOND, executed by me, as security for John Clarke, late merchant of this country, to Henry Caldwell, now a resident of Kentucky. The bond, according to my best recollection, is dated June 1790 or 1791, payable on the 25th of December following, and is for a sum somewhat exceeding one hundred and seventy pounds, Virginia currency. A late decree of Prince Edward county court has exonerated me from payment of the said bond; which was discharged by Clarke, in his life time, to Caldwell.

AN ELIGIBLE SEAT FOR IRON & OTHER WATER-WORKS.
The undersigned, from his experience in Iron and other water-works, is induced to believe that the mouth of Little river, in Christian county, forms the most eligible seat he has seen:—First, on account of the largeness and constancy of the stream—secondly, the security of the seat, as the dam may be founded on, and abutted against rocks through its whole length—thirdly, navigation, which is practicable at all times to the wharves of the different works—fourthly, the plenitude and quality of the Ore, there being ten or twelve banks of different kinds convenient to the seat—fifthly, the abundance and suitability of timber for the works or ship building—sixthly, the suitability of the surrounding country for the production of wheat, which, independent of the advantages of boating it down the Cumberland from Tennessee, would render a merchant mill valuable. Considerable work is already done at this seat, but as it admits of more extensive objects than the undertaker is able to embrace, he wishes to form a connection capable of prosecuting it into vigorous and extensive operation.
The terms will be advantageous, and can be known by an interchange of letters on the subject, with any gentleman who may choose to adventure, after which the seat can be viewed, and a contract confirmed if thought advisable.
