LEXINGTON: Printed by JOHN BRADFORD at his Office in Main Street, where Subscriptions, Advertisements, &c. for this paper, are thankfully received, and PRINTING in its different branches done with Care and Expedition.
DON CARLOS
WILL cover this season, at General Charles Scott's at forty shillings, to be paid in the following articles viz corn, beef, bacon, cows and calves, sheep, hogs, butter, or lard. Don Carlos is a beautiful bay fifteen hands high, of as good parts as any horse in the Universe. He was got by D. Hamilton's imported horse Figure, (who won four Kings Plates) out of the famous mare Primrose. Primrose was got by the imported Dove, out of Stella, Stella was got by Othello, out of Selima. Selima was imported, and got by the G dolphin Arabian. Primrose, Don Carlos's dam, won five purses, against the best and most capital horses on the Continent, and was to have been taken to England to run for the King's Plate of one thousand guineas, only prevented by the non export of horses in one thousand seven hundred and seventy five. Don Carlos's colts are incomparable, being allowed, by all judges that have seen them to excel any ever seen on this Continent. The above will be proved to the satisfaction of any person desiring it.

THE
GODOLPHIN
IS a beautiful bright bay, full fifteen hands high, with a figure that needs no commendation; will cover mares this season in Lexington, at two hundred pounds of merchantable Tobacco, or thirty shillings cash the season, or two dollars the single leap; to be paid on or before the first day of November next; It is needless to say any thing of the performances of this fine horse, only that he can beat any horse in the District the four mile heats-- His pedigree is short--he came out of Col. Braxton's Kitty Fisher, and was got by the old Godolphin arabian.

TWENTY GUINEAS REWARD,
THE store house of the subscribers in this Town was broke open on the night of the twenty fourth of January last, and robbed of Cash to the amount of seventy pound Virginia currency, amongst which was five Doubloons, and two German Carolines which was remarkable; part of the Money was taken out of the counter drawer, and part taken out of a small Gilt Trunk (which stood on one of the shelves amongst the goods,) together with a coarse brown linen bag which was in the Trunk and contained part of the money; who ever returns said money shall have ten Guineas and no questions asked; or the above reward for the money and thief on bringing him to Justice.
GILLESPIE BIRNEY & Co. Danville March 1789.
N.B. As the Store house was situated at the end of the dwelling house of Ben Grayson and this robbery committed while the young man that attended in the store was at supper, and immediately taken notice of by the young man after supper; it is therefore generally thought that some one of Grayson's family must have perpetrated said act.
THE beautiful high bred horse Sider, full fifteen hands and a half high, stands at my stable on south Elk-horn, about two miles below Lewis Craigs mill, and will cover mares at forty shillings the season, payable in cash, tobacco, beef, pork, lard or tallow, deliverable on or before the first day of November next in Lexington, or Frankfort.
Sider was bred by Col. John H. Cocke Virginia, and got by the noted horse old Partner -- Partner was got by Morton's Traveller out of Selima, both of which were imported from England and generally allowed to be of the best breed in that Kingdom, or that ever were brought to America.
Sider's dam was got by the much celebrated imported old Figure his grand dam by the noted horse Fearnought imported from England by Col. Baylor of Caroline (Virginia) his great grand dam one of the highest bred mares of England imported by col. Joseph Galloway of Maryland.
JOHN PRICE Jun.
LABURNUM,
A Beautiful forrel rising fifteen hands high, in form inferior to no horse in the District: will cover mares this season, at the subscriber's plantation, about four miles below L.

By the single leap, at twenty shillings provided the money be sent with the mares: such gentlemen who favor me with their custom shall, in case they prove unfortunate the first season, have a chance the second gratis -- His pedigree is as follows, he came out of col. Braxton's imported mare Katy Fisher, and was got by the noted imported horse old Lath, the characters of both which are so well established to require further comment.
The subscriber has also a Jack Ass, inferior to none on the continent, except Gen. Washington's, which will cover mares at five dollars the season; mares sent from a distance will be particularly attended to, but the subscriber will not be answerable for escapes or unavoidable accidents.

L O N D O N September 10. Letters from Paris, of the 2d inst. we learn that the people in general there begin to think nothing of their domestic commotions and distresses, when contrasted with the idea of being involved in the general war, which they now consider as inevitable. Certain it is that Prussia, Saxony, and even Poland are already in arms; and that orders have been issued from the Court of Berlin to march 60,000 men into Silesia. By the 1st of October, the Court of Dresden will have an army of 40,000 men at Byrna. This Germanic confederacy is certainly put in motion by the King of Prussia, who has long, it appears, been particularly attentive to every thing that passes upon the banks of the Danube, and who, in conjunction with England, the States-General, and his German allies, is at present in a situation to make all Europe tremble.
September 25. The imperial Ambassador is every moment expecting the particulars of a general engagement between the Austrian and Turkish armies, which he thinks must have taken place some weeks since. Much depends upon the issue of this battle. If the Turks gain the victory, which is not altogether improbable, they will endeavour to follow the blow up to the gates of Vienna. Should the Austrians on the contrary, be the conquerors, Laudohn will attempt little more than keeping his posts, and going into winter quarters. The inhabitants of Vienna, however, tremble for the consequences, and murmur their clamours pretty freely, at the Emperor being so long his own general.
Sept. 26. A Russian privateer seized a French vessel in the Mediterranean, bound to Constantinople, with several Turkish merchants, who were on board with their effects, and carried her into the Morea; in consequence of which the Pomona, a King's frigate, commanded by Monr. de St. Felix, was despatched after her, from Toulon, and overtaking the privateer, insisted on his surrendering both himself and prize. The latter was instantly given up, but without the Turks and their merchandise. While this was transacting, another frigate and a brig, belonging to his Majesty, entered the road, and the captains resolved to have the privateer by force, if he refused. Application was again made, but without effect, upon which the brig was ordered to advance to flank them, while their boats manned with 72 men, boarded the privateer.
The Russians determined to defend themselves to the last, landed their cannon, and crected a battery on shore, which the brig, after a smart cannonade silenced. The boats then attempted to board the privateer, but the instant they came along side, had 120 muskets fired into them. An obstinate and bloody engagement immediately ensued, which lasted with great fury on both sides, for four hours, when the Russians were obliged to submit, and were carried with their vessel into Smyrna.
The French lost in that action near forty men, among whom is an officer of distinguished reputation, Monr. de St. Caesar.
Oct. 2. We are informed that a very great and probable political event has lately excited much speculation in Madrid and Lisbon; no less than the union of Spain & Portugal under the same sovereign, and a prince of house of Bourbon.
Oct. 6. The savage barbarities committed by the Turks in the neighbourhood of Temeswar and Belgrade, have filled the Emperor's army with the most ferocious desire of revenge, and we may now expect to hear of brutalities and murders that would disgrace the cannibals in North America.
Oct. 15. A Turkish man and boy were loading a waggon with hay, when they were surprised by a foraging party of Austrians. The boy, though only twelve years of age, defended himself by two pistols on the top of the waggon with great bravery. When his powder and ball were expended, he made a noble resistance with a scythe, and wounded two hussars very dangerously; but the horses in the waggon taking fright, it was overturned, and the man and boy much bruised. Both
of them had bones broken, which, when examined by the surgeon, made the man cry with pain; but the boy bore all with the patience of an ancient Roman, and revived his companion for his betraying his uneasiness before the Christian dogs.
Oct. 16. By a gentleman who arrived on Friday from Copenhagen, we are informed that the court of Denmark has been hitherto stopped in joining vigorously with Russia against Sweden, by the sole mediation of his Britannic Majesty, who is much respected by his nephew the prince royal. The Empress, however, has been pretty liberal in her presents to the leading men in that kingdom, besides promising an addition of territory to the Dane, should he step boldly forward. What is singular, adds this gentleman, is, that the King, tho' accounted pusillanimous, is eager for the war, while the prince although brave, active, and wise, is only for keeping strictly to the treaty between that nation and Russia, although he is at the same time zealous in recruiting the army, and enlarging the navy.
A late English News-Paper furnishes the following Paragraphs.
"Of all the foreign Ministers at Constantinople the Swedish is the most caressed. Never was a Christian there treated with so much Respect and Esteem. The whole City is full of the great King of Sweden, and the powerful diversion made by his Arms in favour of the Porte. "For our Sake, cry the Musselmans, Sweden, whom we might expect both Climate and Religion would render the friend of Russia, stands forward to fight our Battles Divine Prophet! Is it thy powerful Interposition which thus engages the Hearts of the Swedes from the Russians, for the Benefit of the Faithful? This self same Mahomet is a powerful Negotiator in the Opinions of his deluded Followers."
V I E N N A , November 3. THE emperor is daily expected here, accompanied by his royal highness the arch-duke Francis. It is evident, however, that his Imperial majesty does not propose to remain long in the capital, orders having been already given to prepare winter quarters for him at Buda.
The Turks have totally evacuated the Bannat, the Cave of Veterani excepted, where they seem still disposed to maintain their ground, having with great industry fortified it with several new works. On the 25th ult. the Imperial army had passed the Danube, and obtained possession of their entrenchments. At the same date the number of troops arrived at Semslin amounted to 28,000 effective men, who, added to the 10,000 who were there before, will certainly form a force amply sufficient to resist every enterprise which the Turks may undertake in Belgrade.
By a letter received from Hermannstadt, of the 27 ult. we learn that the hospodar Maurojeni, finding our troops were making approaches to the frontiers of Wallachia, had made every preparation to resist their progress, but with so little success, that, after having attacked our army there at the head of 3000 cavalry, he was forced to retreat, leaving behind him 30 killed. The number he carried off with him, both killed and wounded, is uncertain, though all accounts agree that it must have been considerable.
C O N S T A N T I N O P L E , Sept. 15.
A courier extraordinary, despatched from the grand vizir's camp, has brought the particulars concerning the entrance of his army into the Bannat Temeswar, the great advantages he has obtained over the Austrians, the considerable number of prisoners he has taken, and the ammunition, artillery, colours, &c. which his troops have seized upon the occasion; he finishes this enumeration by promising to send all his trophies and prisoners to Constantinople immediately. The universal joy this news must cause is easily imagined, especially as the Porte was in the beginning in fear for their own estates, which the Austrians threatened strongly: We were fearful the grand vizir would exaggerate
his accounts; but as some foreign ministers have related them nearly in the same terms, that generally must be greatly pleased with their impression on the minds of all people. He has besides promised the grand vizir to begin the siege of Temeswar immediately, and to make another irruption into Transylvania, having sent positive orders to the different corps of the army in Wallachia for that purpose. But this intended invasion, if attended with success, will be of no real use, till he has established himself in the emperor's estates by the capture of some important fortresses; he must therefore secure such a place if he would preserve the fruits of this campaign, and avoid exposing his conduct to the criticism of his enemies.
S T O C K H O L M , October 21. The volunteers raised in Dalecarlia, consisting of 3000 young and vigorous inhabitants of that province, are already on their march for the frontiers of Norway.
The king's troops assembled at Gottenburgh and its environs amount to 15,000 men. The province of Hallande has offered to raise 10,000, and to send them, in case of necessity, to the assistance of that place, There are 5000 at Hulingos.
L E X I N G T O N April 1, 1789. From the Pennsylvania Packet of February 11th received Yesterday we are authorized to declare the account published in our last of the death of the King of Great Britain, premature. The following are extracts from that paper.
L O N D O N December 9. 1788. H O U S E O F C O M M O N S. THE KING. Kew-Palace. Dec. 10, Ten o'clock in the morning. "His Majesty has had a quiet night, and continues in all other respects as he was yesterday."
Dec. 11, Ten o'clock in the morning. "His Majesty slept for four hours last night, and continues the same as yesterday."
Dec. 10. Yesterday at 12 o'clock, one of the messengers arrived at St. James's, with the physician's letter to the lord in waiting.
Kew House, Dec. 9. "His majesty has had more than seven hours of undisturbed sleep last night, and is quiet this morning."
G. BAKER. J. R. REYNOLDS. To the Lord in waiting at St. James's. (A true copy) (Signed) BOSTON.
His majesty, besides the unhappy malady under which he has some time laboured, is at present afflicted with a severe complaint in his bowels, of the nature of a dysentery, from which the most alarming consequences are apprehended.
P H I L A D E L P H I A , Feb. 11. Extract of a letter from New York, dated Feb. 7.
"The British Packet is not yet arrived, although spoke with at sea on the 1st of this month. We have an arrival from London in 47 days. No Regency yet fixed. The King's insanity may probably be got the better of. Great animosity between the Pittiers and Foxites, the latter pressing for a sole Regent in the Prince's person."
F R A N K F O R T , Nov. 4. They write from Berlin, that a body of 30,000 men is really assembled in Prussia, and will march to the frontiers. Its departure, they say, only depends on some dispatches expected from Warsaw.
