THE SECRET EXPEQTION.

FRANKFORT. TX, March 9.

The fchooner Jane, the property of Mr.. John
NIullanghy, was launched this morning with
great cafe. She is a handiome velIel, apparent
ly well calculated for falling, and adapted to
the WeftIndia tradc-burthen between 80 and
90 tons.
The appearance of two fchooners anchored
before this town, which only few years ago
was the hunting camp of uncivilized man, is
truly novel one and mutt convey to the pa
triotic heart, very pleafurabe emotions indeed.
If 10 much has been accomplished in a few
years, under fiich embarrafiing and Encouraging
difficulties, what mind can conceive the extent
to which commerce may be carried on the tri-
butary treams of the Ohio, in the courfe of ten
or twelve years, by the ailifance of enterpriling
men, who poiiefs capital and public fpirit, to
enable them to profecute 70 laudable puriut.
And although the wefern waters afford nu-
rnerons htnations, where the buiinefs of flip
building may be! carried on to advantage, few
exceed Frankfort for vefiels futed to the Wef-
INDIA trade. The pra6ticability of defending
the river from this place with cafe and fafety,
havng been well afcertained it nntiefles advan-
tages which cannot fail to recommend it TO the
enterprlfng merchant. Situated in the heart of
the fertile fate of Kentucky, where produce
TOR expectation may be collected in large guam
titles tar and pine timber for MATS, fpars and
decking, can be brought down the river, on the
heads of which we are informed there is plen-
ty g be had.-Cordage is manufactured in the
vicinity of the town; and mills for the manu-
fa6ture of flour, are numerous within three OF
four miles of it.
