Wash ington was acquainted bv colonel Marshall with ihe sevdrat parti culars < •’ ilu- pioposals made by Gaioofv e and colonel Conolly, and ti e iovs ol their partisans inKvtttucky, he * au-d Dot or Stewart of Alexandria the .son-in law of Mrs. W ashington to ad dres- a letter to tie speaker of Ihe house ot representatives’ on the subject. A ci.mmi tee of en quiry was in eousc,juenc ap points'! ; but the artiui man tier in which this enquiry was sup pressed by the agents of the toso-* ciatiou in cougtess, we decline mentioning, until we have pro cured live correspondence be tween general Washington and col. Marshall, wiih Doemr Stu art’s fetter and the speakers an swer which we are m hopes ol having before out history of the conspiracy be concluded. On euuoUy’s arrival in Cana da, lite celebrated general Bowies then at Montreal, was fixed upon bj v.nd Dorchester a the most propet person to cany iu scheme into efcpeußotr in Kentucky and the Western territory. Under ‘he ficticious name of Drum* mond,be can't into Kentucky in the fall of 17*9 ; staid several w(ks at I rxington and Louis ville and afterwards proceeded dhwti the Mississippi to the five rokee and Creek nations, in or der to withdrav ‘heir attachment from the Span'sl-ment govern ment, and transfer their interest to the support of Great-Ltitain, t l ink-ntr ‘hat these savage tribes would t-e a powerful instrflment to subdue the party in Kentucky ! in mieal to the British interest. i With this view he carried nine j or eleven of the principal chiefs I to Lomlo in 1790, where they j remained about six months. Here ’ Bowles and Miranda were intro* j dne'd to each other. —Miranda had been alternately between Pa ri- an<f London fur several years previous to this period, courting both the revolutionists of France and the minister of Great Bri tain for emplovmfeht. Had not the affair of Nootka sound been sertled, he probably would have hern landed in California or new Mexico with a British army ; but this commercial dispute having been adjusted all expectations ot a rup ure with Spain were ter minated. We have not learned the particulars which finally de termined him at this time to ac cent of a command in the French armv, and to abandon his idea of conquering New Spain; but certain it is, He loft the British court in disgust and came to Ba ris, whm he became known to fori Barlow, then an agent for the Ohio land compmtyi Many of the members of the Ohio land company were active leaders in the K ntuckv Spanish associu tion ; but we have strong reasons for believing that Barlow him self was entirely a stranger to the coi spi/ac . ‘Lbe mind of this gen I Him is mo much occupied w ill fit lies fetters and political di-qu ‘ttinu-j v> r'o make a con fi 1 n’ ■:d r n piratot or good in -1 tgner.

But Barlow, in place of attending to the object of his mission, et *.ff on a ruvolut’cnising ezpcdi'iun to the mounts ns ot Savoy, and left the affairs of the Ohio com pan*, in the hands of a Scotch mutt of Uk* name of William Play lair, author of the work entitled “ The History of Anti-Jacobin ism.’ 5 Playfair had been em ployed for several years in Fraace a> a British spy, and therefore was acquainted by the minister ol hi* court how to conduct lum selt in every case. He acquitted himself on this occasion in a man ner, though not the most honor able, that completely dekaied the plan of the company- In place of conir.tcting with French peasantry to purchase tile Ohio lands, the only class ot peo ple whom they would have suit ed ;he contrived to persuade a bout twelve hundred of the low er ciass of Parisians composed of barbers, fiddlers, and bakers, and such as he knew were I ast ac q ‘dinted with agriculture, u> uk • shares at fifty guneas each ; for which they were to receive a specified number of acres and their passage to America. Hav ing embarked this motley and ■frivolous company on board of three vi sseis bound lor Alexan dria) Playtair pocketed their mo ney anti set off tor England leav ing Joel Barlow to account to his employers for the purchase mo ney, and-he Frenchmen to seek for the acres were thev could be found.—Tne uuhappv foreign ers lauded at the destined port, and were conducted by a person of tile name ot Le Turck to the mouth ot theKenhawa. Instead ot rich fi Ids and vineyards, which .limy had figured to their I imagination, they found them- I selves in cite undsi of immea- I auraoic woods, exposed (o inroads of die satagrs and to the w tints of nature—-Discouraged with their situation and seeing no other prospect more flatter ng, the greatest number embarked for New-Orleans, and thus dis concerted the original views of the cofnoany Ileturning from th's digression to general Wilkinson, we shad next consider his agency in the conspiracy until tne deatn of gen. Wavne, in 1796. General Wash ington being convinced from the information of col. Marshall, ot the existence of a Spanish asso ciation in Kentucky, and of the strength of the party adopted a policy which may be censured b V a few but which owing to the circumstances of the time*, was certainly the most prudent which h< could pursue, alter the com mit tee of enquiry in congress had quashed the investigation. He appointed Wilkinson, in 1757, to a colonel’s commission at Fort Washington, under general Wavne having instructed gene ral Wayne of his character, and >qucsted of him to use every pes-sible endeavor to procure all documents which would tend to developc the plans of the con spirators. The correspondence between Washington and Wayne on the subject, with all the doc uments which Wayne procured and which sufficiently explain the views of the association, xve are informed are now in the posses sion of the son of gen. Wavne, viz. Isaac Wayne, e*q. attorney at law in Chester county, Penn sylvania. The enmity which Wilkinson and his friends bore to the citi zens of Kentucky, who opposed their view', cannot be better il lustrated, than by citing the death of the unfortjnate col. Harbin. This brave officer and patriotic citizen had uniformly opposed tlie views of general Wilkinson and was most active in detecting the schemes of the conspirators — To get rid ol such a formidable opponent, was, therefore, the earnest wish of the party'. L harg en of cowardice Were purposely whispered about and preferred a jjriinst him, particnlarlv by gen- Wilfctnson who publicly arraign ed his conduct under gen. llar nter. An occasion alto wards oc cured, which gave Wilkinson, as he said, ar opportunity of put ting Hardin’s bravery to the test. A treaty was required to be ef fee’ed with die Indian ribes, and Wilkinson fixed upon Hardin for this purpose to carry a flag of truce from Cincinnati to the San ditskt villages, without adopting any previous means of apprizing the savages oi the peaceable in tentions of Kentucky. The e vent was, as might have been ex pected ; poor Hard'-n was massa cred bv the first party he ui< t 5 and thus was a powerful obsta cle to the views of the Kentm k association treacherously and basely letnoved. and o be Continued.
