Extract from a letter written by a gentleman (now in Ireland,) lately resident in the United States to his friend in Washington City, dated 29th September, 1809.
"We were surprised to hear of the removal of your embargo, but we did not wonder that our ministers had totally denied the agreement made by Messrs. Smith and Erskine at Washington. If you had continued your embargo but one month longer you had ruined Ireland, and most materially have injured England—a crowd of American vessels were seen in all our ports laden with flax seed, tobacco, &c. In the eyes of all discerning and impartial men, for there are some such even among us, the Americans of late have lost much national character. It is evident, that the conduct of your factious and rebellious citizens forced you into temporizing and inconsistent measures. If you are thus feeble and hickety in your youth, you cannot expect ever to arrive at the full strength and vigor of manhood. In the fond opinion of many here, it is already visible, they say, that your boasted union is but a rope of sand; that you must soon dissolve, and fall into pieces, and speedily become the prey of some future Cæsar, or Cromwell, or Bonaparte."
LIVERPOOL MOB.
That the taking down of the American flags, in Liverpool, on the 4th of July, was a preconceived business, will appear from the following facts, communicated by a gentleman, lately arrived in this city, who was an eye-witness of the proceedings:
About the middle of June, our informant seeing a mob collected in the street, drew a sailor, and saw 3 or 4 men beating a Dutch sailor, who belonged to an American vessel; while a number of bystanders were exclamimg, "That's right boys—hit the d—d Yankee." They at length let him go, swearing that on the 4th of July, they would let the Yankees see something.
Some days previous to the 4th, a carpenter was at work on board an American vessel. One of them asked the others if they would work on the 4th. He was answered, that on the ringing of a bell, they would repair to the queen's dock, and they would get work there.
On the 4th, about 11 o'clock, some bells near the dock began to ring, and continued till 1; three cheers were then given; on which a Custom-house officer, on board an American ship, observed that the boys had begun their work, and there would be some fun. About this hour, the mob had collected, and began to take down the American flags; tearing every thing to pieces, where they met with any opposition.
Capt. Story, of Bolton, lashed the haul-yards of the colors to his body, and drew his cutlass, declaring that he would sooner die than let his colors be taken down. The mob, intimidated by his determined manner, kept aloof, and began to throw brick-bats, billets of wood, &c. at him; some of which striking him, he fell. They then encountered him en masse; beat him in a cruel manner; tore off part of his clothes, and left him almost dead.
The President Adams, of Bolton, had a Liberty-tree painted on canvas, and held it

along with the flag. This they tore into pieces, tied them round their hats and legs, and dragged some of them through the mud, exclaiming, "Let the damn'd Yankees come now and support their Independence!"
Proceeding from Queen's to King's dock, they were met by the mayor at the head of 8 or 10 soldiers; who, seeing that the mob had begun to throw stones, quietly withdrew, leaving them to terminate the business as they thought proper. In this manner they kept it up as they called it, till about three in the evening; when the American sailors began to collect in a body, determined to oppose them, and revenge the insult done to their country.
It was now that the Mayor, fearing that some of his majesty's subjects might get black eyes, again made his appearance; but not with 8 or 10 men, as before; but at the head of 500 cavalry. He then caused the mob to disperse, and no further mischief ensued.
The above statement may be relied upon as correct. The account given of it, in some of our papers, stating that the Americans had hoisted their flag over that of the British, is false. This was done by the English carpenters, in order that the blame might be thrown on the Americans. — Pub. Adv.
On the 17th Oct. says a Baltimore paper, a dispute arose on board the frigate Essex, off Norfolk, between Dr. Hyde Ray and Mr. Vorhees, both of the U. States' navy. The succeeding day the latter sent a challenge, which was immediately accepted, and the parties repaired to the field the same evening. The articles agreed upon were, that the parties should stand at eight paces and exchange one fire, which if proving ineffectual, each should then advance three paces, and decide the affair with the sword. Mr. Vorhees fell at the first, and soon expired. Dr. Ray is represented as having acted with courage, honor and propriety. He would have shunned the bloody contest, but the laws of society constrained him to accept a pre-emptory and unconditional invitation to the field.
A duel has been fought in England between Lord Castlereagh and Mr. Canning. The first fire was without effect, but at the second fire Mr. Canning received the ball of his antagonist in the fleshy part of the thigh. Lord Castlereagh made a narrow escape, having the button on the right lapel of his coat shot away. The cause of the duel, it is said, was this—Mr. Canning conceiving it was an advantage that Lord Castlereagh should retire from the cabinet, actually procured his dismissal, and at the same time kept a profound secret his removal from office, and permitted him to conduct the entire arrangement of the campaign, and engage in a new expedition of the most complicated nature, though virtually no minister.
The Globe (an anti-ministerial paper) of the 4th October, gives the following as probable appointments in the new ministry:
Mr. Spencer Percival, first Lord of the Treasury & Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. Robert Dundas Saunders, Secretary of state for the war and colonial department.
Mr. Arbuthnot, Secretary of the admiralty. Lt. Mm. Bentinck, Secretary at War. Mr. Cooke, Secretary of the Treasury; and Marquis Wellesley (now in Spain) is also to have a place.
Proposals have been made to Lords Grenville and Grey to become members of the new ministry, but they have refused to serve with a remnant of the old.
The Liverpool Courier of the 30th of August says, that six of the persons concerned in the riot at Live-pool on the 4th of July, were sentenced at the Lancaster Assizes to one year's imprisonment in Bridewell.
A British ship arrived at Halifax, the day before the Packet sailed, in 34 days from England, and brought advices that Sir Arthur Wellesley was on his way home from Spain. — N. T. Gaz.
Extract of a letter from an American gentleman in Lisbon to his friend in this town, dated Sept. 23, 1809.
"This has become poor place, compared with what it once was. Many people of property have gone to England and the Brazils; and those remaining have their property on board ships ready to start. The times are such, that nothing is safe. Several persons of property, disappeared last week, and their property confiscated; their persons are probably immured in the dark cells of the Inquisition.
"The city is full of British officers, and they have commenced quartering them upon the inhabitants. The armies are in a wretched state, and by lack and sickness have dwindled away to a small number." (Salem Reg.)
FRANCE AND ENGLAND.
Yesterday we had news from Paris to the 20th September. To day we have news from London to the 6th Oct.—Yesterday our Coffee House politicians were congratulating one another on the derangement of Bonaparte; to day they are condoling with each other on the distraction of the British cabinet; what to-morrow may bring forth baffles conjecture and laughs at prediction.
The late arrivals from Europe, bring us a mass of vague and contradictory reports, together with a body of authentic and interesting information. The reports will die almost with the sound which gives them birth. The intelligence will engage the attention of every man of sound mind and a good heart: The most valuable portion of the information both from France and England, is enveloped in the despatches brought to our government from Messrs. Armstrong and Pinkney. The contents of those despatches we do not expect to know until the meeting of Congress on the 27th inst. It is however, matter of satisfaction, that they are arrived. It will enable the President fully to consider their import and bearings, and to consult with our wisest and best patriots upon the course to be pursued, which will most speedily and certainly eventuate in securing the Independence, honor and happiness of the United States.
Our arrivals from Liverpool bring no information as to peace between France and Austria; on the contrary the details and movements of the hostile armies are indications that Austria means to renew the contest, or to show so bold a front, as to secure better terms than Bonaparte had proposed. The story of the madness of Bonaparte is now at an end.
Our latest accounts from Vienna are evidence that he is indefatigable in his labors, to post his armies to advantage, provided for their maintenance and improve their discipline. He is repairing fortifications, establishing telegraphs and doing every thing which prudence, energy and soldiership dictates. He is always upon the alert. He neither slumbers nor sleeps when fame, fortune or ambition say "sleep no more." He is too mighty a genius to be crushed by the puny men who guide the destinies of the other powers of Europe. Eagle-eyed and Lion-pawed, he sees danger at a distance and crumbles it into dust. His councils are un-distracted by faction, his arm nerved by the sinewy strength of millions "born to obey and living to serve." A ball may prostrate him on the earth, disease may waste his frame and enfeeble his mind, but as long as he is blessed with health & strength the thrones of Europe are petty obstacles in any road to which the finger of pride, of passion or ambition may direct. His breath can level them in the dust, and his decree establish other Kings or emperors.
England is indeed humiliated. Her armies driven by the French from the continent of Europe are glad to find shelter on board their fleet, itself unable to effect the object of its mission, returns ingloriously. Discontent and murmuring dissatisfaction pervades the land while the Demon of faction and division reigns triumphant in her councils. The sneering scoffer of America and the bloodstained plunderer of Ireland have fought. The Grenvilles and the Greys refuse to participate in the administration, unless the Catholics of Ireland be emancipated. The Premier of England is hawking wheedles through London and the ministerial prints are humbly hoping and ardently imploring the people not to abandon their venerable sovereign! This is a deeply shaded picture of England, but every tint is from the pallet, from truth. Defeated abroad, divided at home, distracted in her councils and without an ally on earth, how is it possible for her successfully to combat the intrigues and the armies of Bonaparte?
France triumphant and England humbled are equally unjust, equally deaf to the claims of America; equally anxious to involve her in their quarrels and bloodshed, and equally hostile to the principles of her government. They acknowledge no law but power; no right but that of the conqueror; no sovereign but the sword. For years we have asked but for justice and we have asked in vain. We must turn out eyes from the foreign world and look at home. We must cultivate a national American spirit, proudly independent and sternly just. We must do without the luxuries which bind us to a warring world and jeopardize our peace. We must cherish our coasting trade, our canals, build bridges, make roads, and do every thing possible to make a common interest and a common feeling in our common country. Let this be done, let domestic manufactures be encouraged, let every citizen, not conscientiously scrupulous, be armed and disciplined, then, as Americans, it will be to us a matter of little consequence whether there be peace between Austria and France—whether France invades England or England invades Holland; such events would as little effect us as we are now effected by the revolutions of Japan or China. [Demo. Press.]
From the Public Advertiser. A friend has favoured us with the loan of several late London papers, from one of which we copy the following character of the celebrated
THOMAS PAINE.
The biography of Mr. Thomas Paine is known, he was of low origin but even in his youth of a strong, resolute and constant temper. He had from his infancy adopted the opinions he so successfully promulgated in his manhood. All his literary productions evince an acute, profound, determined mind; his language is simple, accurate and nervous, adapted to all capacities, so pointed and unequivocal that there is no misconceiving it; he is tenacious; his axioms are incontrovertible, and their impression indelible. No human being's efforts have done more for liberty; he made more converts than Sydney or Ruffel. His "Common Sense" enfranchised America. America was divided into two parties; the argument of this little pamphlet decided the contest. His "Rights of Man" had a nearly similar effect in England. Innumerable replies have appeared against it; but so weak and futile as to injure the cause they meant to sustain; he reasoned from facts, and his distinction was irresistible; he poured like a torrent and bears down every thing before him; he was persecuted for his works, but they are so admired they are in every library. He seemed stern and morose, but he was lenient, friendly and benevolent. He influenced his humanity, by his resolute vote to save the king's life. The language Robespierre never forgave him. In the reign of terror, Robespierre imprisoned him; but the apostle of liberty, though in such imminent danger, never retracted his opinions, or solicited mercy; it pleased Providence that he should escape this monster. Bold, manly and fearless, he never concealed his sentiments—positive and inflexible, they never varied. He continued in Paris long after Bonaparte rendered himself supreme in the state, and spoke as freely as ever. He told the writer of this article at Paris, on the peace of Amiens, that he was preparing for America; that he could not reside in comfort in the dominions of Bonaparte; that if he was to govern like an angel he should always remember that he had purged himself; that he, himself, had heard him swear that France should be a pure republic; and that he would rather die than endure the authority of a single individual; he would end his days in America, for he thought there was no liberty any where else. There he soon went, and there he paid the debt of nature; but his memory shall never perish.
These few hasty and honest sentences are sketched in a temper too sober and serious for intentional exaggeration, and with too pious an affection for the memory Mr. Fox to profane it by intermixture with the factitious broils and wrangles of the day. The measures which he supported or opposed may divide the opinion of posterity, as they have divided those of the present age. But he will most certainly command the unanimous reverence of future generations, by his pure sentiments towards the commonwealth, by his zeal for the civil and religious rights of all men, by his liberal principles, favorable to mild government, to the unlettered exercise of the human faculties, and the progressive civilization of mankind; by his ardent love for a country of which the well-being and greatness were indeed inseparable from his own glory, and by his profound reverence for the free constitution, which he was universally admitted to understand better than any other man of his age, both in an exactly legal, and in a comprehensively philosophical sense.
THE SHANNON.
Is the prince of Irish rivers, and is said to be a nobler river, than any other island can boast. It divides the provinces of Leinster and Connaught. In the latter province the spirit of the ancient Irish is much of it preserved. The nobleness of the river and its confluence to this province of pure Irish, are thought to render it a proper place, near which, to place the imaginary residence of the "Genius of Erin." Mr. Robert Emmet, alluded to in the following lines, was a most noble youth! He was tried for "high treason," because he was a patriot of great talents. He and others, however, had ob-
tained leave of going into voluntary exile, and were actually embarking for America, when it was suggested from London, that Mr. Rufus King, our minister there, said it would be displeasing to his government, consequently they were stopped and executed. How can Mr. King reconcile this cruelty to his confidence and atone for it to his God! Nat. Regis.
THE GENIUS OF ERIN. As I pass'd o'er the Shannon, whose tide flows in numbers; So soft has it list to the harp's wily note; O'er whose bosom the trefoiled shamrock aye slumbers, And down whose bright current the breezy winds float.
The day star arose 'yond the sky tow'ring mountain, And its faint glory shed on the face of the dell; The nymph's choral band struck a lay from their fountain, And "hail Erin's genius!" soft roll'd from each shell.
A stream of effulgence, like lightning descended, Quick bright'ning the cave-hollow'd mountain's dark side; And with it a groan, like far thunder, was blended: "Lo! the genius of Erin," each wood nymph replied.
In an instant I saw, on the mountain's far summit, A form like a God, in dread majesty stand, On his right stood a youth, 'twas the spirit of Emmet, Wide waving a banner of fire in his hand.
Its inscription, "emancipate man" gleamed afar, While voice like the roar of the ocean thus spake; "Sons of Erin! unite; follow vict'ry to war! Then shall Erin be free, and the harp shall awake."

Bryan Ferguson, to the use of John Ferguson, Plaintiff, against Robert Peston, Defendant.
The Court being now sufficiently advised of and concerning the premises, delivered in the following written opinion (to wit): The facts in this case having been agreed by the parties, the question of law which has arisen thereon, has been submitted to the court for their decision. The only question submitted to the court for their decision is, what ought to be the standard or true measure of damages, in an action of covenant brought by the covenantee against the covenantor, on a covenant of general warranty in a deed for the quiet enjoyment of the land; and from which the covenantee has been evicted by a title paramount and distinct from the title of the covenantor. The magnitude and importance of this question as it may affect the interests of the people of this state, has induced me to devote much time and labour towards its investigation. And I have to lament the great inconvenience I have experienced in that investigation from the want of books: some of the principles I shall advance are drawn from memory; and in some instances, I have been compelled to depend on the quotations of such books as I possessed, without being able to examine the correctness of such quotations by a reference to the authors quoted. Three rules or standards for the assessment of damages have been contended for: 1st, the improved value of the land at the time of the eviction of the tenant; 2nd, the increased value of the land in its natural state at the time of the eviction of the tenant; and, 3rd, the purchase money with interest and costs of suit. Covenants real may be divided into two classes: the first are such as run with the land into whose hands soever the land may come—and not only in the hands of the parties to the contract but their assigns without naming the assigns in the contract. The second class of covenants are such as relate to a matter de hors the estate granted in the deed, but which appertain unto the land granted. These covenants do not run with the land, nor will they bind assignees unless particularly mentioned in the contract. The covenant of warranty first, then as to the ancient manner of damages in one of the former description, and into the nature and propriety of which I am now to enquire—Warranties are either special, as a covenant on the part of the vendor to defend the possession of the vendee, &c. against a particular claim, or against the claim of a particular person, & those claimants under him, or warranties are general as a covenant on the part of the vendor to defend the possession of the vendee, his heirs and assigns, against all claims whatsoever. If the warranty be special, and the vendee evicted from the possession of the lands by a title not comprised in the covenant of warranty, the vendor is not liable to the vendee for the loss of the land—Sugdens Law of Vendees, 312, 13, 144, and the authorities there quoted.—The reason I take to be this, that from the neglect of the vendee to require of the vendor a larger warranty than that which was comprised in the deed, he the vendee took upon himself the risk of all other claims to the land and exempted the vendor from loss in consequence of an eviction by such other claim. As soon as the land titles of this state began to be investigated, the claims to land were found to interfere so much as to render a general warranty dangerous to the vendor, and special warranties succeeded in the place of general warranties in most conveyances. But as the same tract of land was often covered by many distinct claims unconnected with each other, this special warranty hazarded the interest of the purchaser too much; and hence the origin of the covenant to refund the purchase money and interest which was introduced into deed by a late very celebrated lawyer of Kentucky. My Lord Coke in his first Inst. 355, a, defines a warranty to be a covenant real annexed to lands or tenements whereby a man and his heirs are bound to warrant the same, and either upon voucher or by Judgment in a writ of warranty or charters to yield other lands and tenements to the value of those lands that shall be evicted by former titles. By the above definition of a warranty it seems that at the common law the remedy by which a recovery even in recompense for the breach of the warranty was had, was confined to the two modes therein expressed, both of which are in the nature of real actions—Indeed it seems by the better opinion that upon an eviction of a freehold, no action of covenant will lie upon a warranty either in deed or in law; for the party might have had his warranty of charter or his voucher, 1 Bac. 532: (old Ed.) Browne 19. Dib, 821. Hob. 4. Yelv. 139. Nay 131. and this decision appears to have resulted from the nature of the recompense in value which is recovered in the action of covenant (to wit) damages or money. The ancient common law had ordained the action of warranty of charters on the action by vouchers (both of which are in the nature of real actions) to recover recompense in value in land and that law gave no damages in real actions for the detention of the possession of the freehold, 2 Bac. 1. consequently the ancient common law did not consider damages or money a recompense in value for the loss of the freehold. The most of the ancient tenures by which lands were held in England had a certain rank and certain honors annexed to them, and which were enjoyed by the land; now the possession of goods and chattles could confer rank and honors the common tenures of the law in the case of warranty rendered the action of covenant as tending to fix a value in money for rank and honor
which was supposed to be above price, and ordained the remedies before stated whereby the vendee was restored to his rank and honors by being restored an equal or greater estate in the same quantity of land which he had lost; and attention to the nature and properties of the ancient English tenures will prove the correctness of these observations.—That land was the only recompense in value which the feoffee could recover from the feoffor, has been stated by Coke in the above definition, and also in 1. Inst. 383. b. 384. b. 393 and 101. and in 376. the manners of proceeding against the lands which had descended in Borough English and Gavel Kind &c. is pointed out. Thus proving that the warranty bound the lands of the feoffor only and not his personal estate. In 1. Inst. 101—393 and 5. Bac. 450—it is stated that if the feoffor hath no lands at the time of the voucher, the feoffee shall not have Judgment over against him, because the feoffor hath nothing of which the feoffee can have Judgment. And yet the feoffor might have possessed a large personal estate. Prior to the statute of 12 Cha: 2: 1 we have not found a single case whereupon an action from a freehold an action of covenant has been maintained upon the warranty. Yelv. 139. Pincomb vs. Rudge, was the first case where the Courts supported the action of covenant on the warranty for the interruption of the possession of the feoffee—The state of that case is A had leased to B for twenty one years, and after sold to C with warranty who entered on the land. B from memory; and in some instances, I have been compelled to depend on the quotations of such books as I possessed, without being able to examine the correctness of such quotations by a reference to the authors quoted. Three rules or standards for the assessment of damages have been contended for: 1st, the improved value of the land at the time of the eviction of the tenant; 2nd, the increased value of the land in its natural state at the time of the eviction of the tenant; and, 3rd, the purchase money with interest and costs of suit.

people of the vicinage. To make either the improved or increased value the standard of damages, will make the recompense depend on accident, and that recompense will be as variant as the taste, the industry, and the means which the different men possess; or as variant as their accidental circumstances, which produced the rise in the price of the land. And those adventitious circumstances must operate in favor of the feoffor as well as the feoffee; so that if the feoffor's land had risen high in value from any cause, and the feoffee had not risen in value, the feoffor would discharge the warranty at a very small expense, and perhaps to the ruin of the feoffee; and thus the quantity of land rendered on the recovery would be more or less than what had been sold. This evil the wisdom of the ancient common law fore saw, and it provided a more equal standard of substantial justice, in restoring the feoffee to the value at the time of the feoffment with warranty. This rule also protected the feoffor, and both feoffor and feoffee were alike secured against accidental or adventitious circumstances, which may either diminish or increase the price of land. Having thus established that the ancient rule of the common law was a recompense in value in other lands according to the value of the land at the time of the sale with warranty, I shall now proceed to the second branch of the subject, to wit: whether any change has been made in the rule since the action of covenant has been adopted as the general remedy to recover recompense in damages on a breach of the warranty. I have before remarked that after the abolition of the feudal tenure, there was nothing like property left to the feoffee for which he could recover recompense in value. The action of covenant became a more easy and a simple remedy to recover that recompense, and damages for the loss of the land was substituted in the place of a recovery in other lands. And as the action of covenant had long before been in general use to recover recompense on the breach of a warranty of a charter, it may be useful to enquire what was the rule established as the standard of damages in the case of a charter. I trust it will require but little argument and but few authorities to prove that the rule (when the warranty applies to a charter) is the purchase money without interest and costs. Every day's practice in this court proves this rule. But this rule is not without high authority to support it. It is stated as the rule by the court in 1 H. Bk. 17, and also by the court of appeals of Kentucky in the case of Pope vs. Campbell, October 1805, where the court say, "The value of any personal property on the day on which it was bargained to be delivered, with interest, is the sound, equitable rule by which to assess the damages." And yet it cannot be denied but that personal property will rise in price and is capable of being improved. Having thus established the rule by which to assess the damages in an action of covenant brought on the warranty of a charter, I will next enquire what is the rule which has been established in the case of a warranty of land by which the damages are to be assessed. In the case of Steele and Mitchell, July 1801, in the court of appeals in Kentucky, it was said by the court "That since the abolition of the feudal tenures warrantees on the sale of land differ nothing in principle from warrantees on the sale of goods." The same point was decided in the case of Thurian vs. Thornhill 2 W. Belknap 1078; and the court in this case decided that the purchase money and interest, with costs of suit, is all the purchaser is entitled to recover in action of covenant brought on the warranty of land. And the court in that case considered this rule of assessing damages as a settled rule. The same point was decided in the Supreme Court of New-York, Cain's N. Y. Term Rep. 2 vol. Stales vs. Teneyck's executors; and this decision was recognized by the same court as law—Johnson's N. Y. Term Rep. 379. This case was, "The defendant covenanted to convey a certain quantity of land to the plaintiff for a certain price, which price was paid; the defendant failed to convey the land, and became insolvent. The plaintiff brought covenant on the deed, to which the defendant pleaded his discharge, by the commissioners under the act for the relief of insolvent debtors. The plaintiff demurred and contended that his demand sounding in damages only, he was unable to prove the amount of his claim before the commissioners until that claim had been relinquished by a jury. But the court said, as the purchase money and the interest was all the plaintiff was entitled to recover, he could have proved the amount thereof before the commissioners as certainly as he could have proved any other debts; and they gave judgment on the demurrer for the defendant. The same point has been decided in the Supreme Court of Errors in Connecticut—Day's reports of cases in errors in Connecticut. The same rule for the assessment of damages has been settled in Pennsylvania, and in the high court of Chancery at Richmond in Virginia. 4 Dallas 441. Bender & Frombergers. 1. Mun. and Hen. 202. It seems to me from the current of decisions which I have mentioned, that the true rule or standard for the assessment of damages in an action brought on the warranty of land, is the purchase money with interest and costs, and this rule is calculated to render the most equal and substantial justice. It restores to the purchaser what he has really lost, to wit: the price he paid and interest thereon from the time of payment, and subjects the seller to the loss of the property. Thus the seller is placed in the same situation as if no sale had been made, and the purchase money is considered as a loan from the purchaser to the seller. And this rule excludes all those adventitious and accidental circumstances which may or do effect the price of land, & will check that speculation which has proved so destructive to morals, and so dishonourable in practice. By this rule the seller is made to warrant the property to be what he
represented it at the time of the sale, and it would be unjust to make him do more by having lost his contract over the property ought not to be bound for the state of that property after he has parted with it. A different rule would subject the parties to receive or pay more for the land than was stipulated for in the contract according as circumstances might operate on the value of the property, and over which circumstance the losing party had no control; nor were they contemplated in the contract. Suppose A sells a tract of land to B for two hundred dollars, and he pays A a horse-colt valued at two hundred dollars. Suppose this horse proves himself a first rate racer or stallion and shall be worth one thousand dollars, and that the colt shall be recovered from A by a title paramount to B's title. I ask will it be just or equitable to adjudge B to pay to A the thousand dollars for the horse, and thus condemn B to pay to A the additional price of 800 dollars for that land that was sold for only two hundred? But reverse the case and suppose the horse was valued at a thousand dollars and without the fault of A had lost his character, and at the time of recovery was worth but two hundred dollars. Will you diminish A's land from one thousand dollars, down to two hundred? morality and justice will not suppose such a decision; and yet such must be the effect of either of these rules contended for, on the part of the plaintiff in this case. The right to the land is the principal substantive right; the right to the issues and profits of all kinds is an incidental and dependent right. So long as the principal right continues, the tenant may at his pleasure use the incidental or dependent right. For the principal right the tenant has paid a value—for that value in case of one eviction he shall be recompensed; for the dependent right he did pay value, but acquired this right as an incident to the former. This incidental right he may or may not use, as he pleases; if he does use it he is recompensed in the profits, and can have no claim on the seller, if he does not use it, he has lost nothing, and therefore has no claim for recompense. The law contemplates as recompense, only for what has been actually lost, not for what might have been gained. The price paid is all that has been lost, the recompense therefore must be the price paid and the purchase money is considered as a loan that will bear interest. If this has been the rule of decision in England, and also in many of the states of America where the ameliorations of the land the tenant has not been protected by statute law, the rule ought a fortiori to govern in Kentucky, where the possession of the tenant is protected by statute, until he has been paid for ameliorations of every kind, which he has put upon the land, prior to the suit, and even after the suit, to the amount of the rents: and also, when the successful claimant cannot recover rent from the land anterior to the eviction, or within a year before the suit brought. In this opinion I have foreborne to investigate the several rules drawn from laws which never were in force in our country, nor in that country from whence we have borrowed our rules and principles of jurisprudence; but it may not be improper in this place to make a few remarks on these rules. The rule in the civil law is, "The improved value of the land at the time of the eviction of the tenant." The injustice of the rule has been exposed in the foregoing opinion. The civilians themselves do not agree on this subject, see the Code and Digest; and Julianus was so impressed with the injustice of the rule that by an edict he ordained, "That the recompense in value should never exceed double the price paid. The rule drawn from the feudal law (to wit) recompense in other lands equal in value to the land from which the tenant was evicted at the time of the eviction, may easily be traced to that ambition of the feudal barons to render themselves independent of their sovereigns, by securing and increasing the numbers of their vassals. The evils resulting from this rule I have also exposed in the foregoing opinion. I will farther remark, that the rule of the civil law was adopted when the rise in the prices of land in the Roman Empire depended on its improvement only; as the population was full and the price of land in its improved state fixed; so the rule of the feudal law was established when lands in their native state were of little or no value, when those lands were held by a few military chiefs who had conquered them, and whose policy it was to strengthen themselves against their masters and become independent. And even this rule of the feudal law was not general on the continent of Europe. In France the recompense in value can in no case be encreased to more than double the value of the property lost. I have said nothing about mesne profits, because they have not been stated or submitted in the case agreed. But I am free to declare, that when the tenant shall be compelled to pay for mesne profits, he ought to recover the amount thereof from the vendor. The result of this investigation has produced a conviction on my mind, that the true equitable rule by which the damages ought to be assessed in this case is, the price paid with interest on that sum from the time at which it was stipulated to be paid, with the costs of the suit in ejectment. And of this opinion is the court.

Stolen from the subscriber, living in Harrison County Ky. living four miles from Cynthiana, on the last night of September 1809, a Dark Gray Mare, near 16 hands high 4 years old, was shot before when taken away, she has some white spots on the top of her neck, that was galed by the collar, she is a little crest hair has a middling large head, she had rubbed the hair off of her tail up by the root, she is very lengthy bodied, a natural trotter, and if she is branded it is with the end of a pot-hook. I think on the off shoulder; any person finding out where the above described mare is, and giving me such information that I can get her shall have ten dollars reward paid by me. James Ward.
PROPOSALS. For publishing by Subscription, in the town of Washington, Kentucky, an original Work, to be entitled, THE ODEID: Consisting of Odes, Elegies, Epistles, Satires, Epigrams, Colloquies, Pastorals, &c. with several lengthy descriptive pieces. BY J. B. CHITWOOD.
When thy Muses are guardians of Virtue and Peace, Corruption shall tremble and swiftly decrease: By Verse we are softened by Verse we're inflamed And th' Savage untutor'd by Music is tamed.
IT is hoped this will not prove unacceptable to any class of Americans; those excepted, who count sentiment and dispise morality. That its variety will render it amusing to all: That the serious and thoughtful will find sentiments congenial to their own; while the young and voluble read with pleasure the page wherein the airy scenes of social life are depicted; where the amorous is not excluded, but love has been sung in its turn. In examining the poems of the latter class, the author prides himself upon the reflection, that in them all, there is not an unchaste thought, nor an expression tending to effeminacy or corruption. In the illusions of the poet, the youthful mind often receives impressions never to be eradicated. The powers of verse, the attractive charms of melody, have been acknowledged by the illustrious in all ages, since science has smiled upon men, or a love of refinement been implanted in his soul.
The author hopes, as most of his scenes are laid in these western climes, and every person desires the improvement of his own country, that his friends and fellow citizens will not be backward in giving him a small portion of their patronage in encouraging the present work.
It will be put to press as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers can be obtained. Will comprise about 250 pages, neatly bound and lettered. The price will be One Dollar, payable on delivery. To non-subscribers it cannot come so low.
Those who obtain twelve subscribers and become responsible for the money, or subscribe for twelve copies, shall receive one gratis.
A complete list of subscribers' names, and respective places of residence, shall be printed in the last of the volume.

A STATEMENT RELATIVE TO DICKINSON COLLEGE.
Published by the Trustees. FROM the recent changes which have taken place in Dickinson College, the trustees consider it their duty to inform its friends and patrons, and the lovers of learning throughout the U. States, of its present state and future prospects: believing that this public statement will promote the interest of the institution over which they preside, and advance the cause of literature and education.
This Seminary is situated in the borough of Carlisle, in the county of Cumberland and state of Pennsylvania, distant about one hundred and twenty miles from the city of Philadelphia, and eighty miles from Baltimore. This place is not excelled in beauty of situation and salubrity of air by any other on the continent. The markets in the town are cheap & plentiful. The places of public worship afford to every Christian an opportunity of attending the service of his Maker; an Episcopal church, Presbyterian churches of their several denominations, a Roman Catholic chapel, Lutheran and Reformed German churches, and a Methodist meeting house. The college grounds consist of eight acres in the suburbs of the town, beautifully situated, and affording the most rich and delightful prospects. The College is a modern building, constructed on a plan of the most celebrated architect in the country; affording the most spacious and convenient accommodations for all the employments and exercises of the college, and capable of boarding and lodging the students. The Trustees are now maturing a plan for the boarding, lodging and accommodating of students within the college.
The trustees have been enabled by the bounty of the Legislature, to make great additions to their library. A complete philosophical apparatus, the munificence of the Legislature have likewise enabled them to procure.
All the arts and sciences usually taught in American colleges, are cultivated under the superintendence of the Rev. Jeremiah Atwater, who has lately accepted the office of Principal, and whose immediate province is that of Professor of Moral Philosophy, Metaphysics, Logic, History, Chronology and the Belle Lettres.
This gentleman received a collegiate education in Yale college, in the state of Connecticut, and continued in that seminary some time, as a teacher. His eminence as a teacher soon commanded the public attention, and he was elected President of Middlebury college, in the state of Vermont, in which institution he has presided many years. His life has been devoted to public education, and he, who is himself so well instructed, has dedicated all his talents to the instruction of others.
Mr. James McCormick has long filled the office of Professor of Mathematics. His profound knowledge of this most useful and important branch of science is acknowledged by all; to this department has lately been added that of Natural Philosophy.
The Rev. Mr. H. Wilson has some time since been elected Professor of Languages. This gentleman has presided for some years, in the academy of Belmont in Centre county, Pennsylvania. His classical knowledge and other literary acquirements are great. His continued and incessant labour in the institution, and the love of order, regularity and discipline, distinguish him as a public instructor.
This annual expense in the support and education of a young man, will not exceed one hundred and forty dollars: a system of education and rules for the regulation and discipline of the college, on the plan of the New-England colleges will be adopted.
The habits of the inhabitants are temperate and frugal, removed from all temptations to dissipation and extravagance. Young men have no opportunity of squandering the money of their parents.
The Trustees entertain a well grounded belief and confidence, that this institution will greatly contribute to the diffusion of knowledge and science, and that parents and guardians will be encouraged to send their children and wards to a seminary where all that is useful and ornamental may be acquired, under the most capable and diligent masters; at an expense the most moderate fortune can afford; at a seminary, where, while their minds will be stored with literary knowledge, their manners and morals will be strictly guarded against every impropriety of conduct, and every approach of vice.
By order of the Board of the Trustees. JAMES ARMSTRONG, Pres't. Dickinson College, Carlisle, September 28, 1809.
To all whom it may concern, TAKE NOTICE, that I shall have my part of a tract of land surveyed and laid off, it being one fourth of a survey lying on Little Kentucky river, about three miles from the mouth, in Gallatin county; the said land was purchased by me of Capt. John Wagner of Adair county. All persons interested are desired to attend on the 15th of February next. Joseph Minter. November 11th, 1809.
