THE subscriber thinks the most proper place of rendezvous for the intended company of Rangers, will be at his house, and from thence to march to the most convenient place for mustering; and as for arms they are not essential for the first or second time of mustering, as the instruction of recruits and position of a soldier is taught without arms, such as standing in a proper attitude, dressing to the right and left, with the facings, and marching to the common and quick step, marching by files with the oblique step,—all this must be properly stamped on the mind of the soldier, before the use of arms are necessary. The first quarter I will teach gratis, in order to prove to the public the propriety of my new formed institution, by their paying the music and the expenses of the institution. I shall beat round the town of Lexington at 12 o'clock precisely, the 1st Saturday in May if fair. John R. Shaw, Drill Master.
Patent Hemp & Flax breaking Machine. THE subscribers have purchased the right for the state of Kentucky of Thomas Colloon's Patent for a machine, for breaking hemp and flax. One of those machines is now in operation on Madison Fisher's farm, near this place, and is found admirably to answer the purpose for which it was intended. A machine with two breaks, is worked by one horse with ease, and requires six hands to attend it. One of the great advantages of this machine is, that it can be attended by women or boys, instead of men, and that a woman or boy can clean double the quantity of hemp or flax, which the most able-bodied man could do in the same time with a common hand-break. A further account of the machine is deemed unnecessary, as it is presumed that those desirous of purchasing rights, will wish to satisfy themselves by seeing it in operation. Individual rights at twenty dollars, or rights for whole counties, may be procured by applying to either of the subscribers. Maddox Fisher, Joseph Boswell, David Sutton, John Fisher, Geo. Lawer.
HAVING been called upon to state our opinion of a machine for breaking hemp and flax, which we saw in operation on Mr. Maddox Fisher's farm, we hesitate not to declare that we view it as an important acquisition to our state, and therefore recommend it to the attention of every farmer who cultivates either hemp or flax. The construction of the machine is simple and does not appear likely to get out of order. We suppose that one of those machines having two breaks and moved with ease by one horse, might be built for about 30 or 40$. We have no hesitation in stating that hemp may be broken in much greater quantities with the same labour, and with ease to the hands employed, and that much delay, severe labour, and considerable expense might be saved to hemp raisers by the erection of these machines. T. T. Barr, Wm. W. Worsley, C. Coyle, Bushrod Boswell, R-bert R. Barr. Lexington, April 8th, 1809.
Prime Manufactured Tobacco. JACOB LAUDEMAN, takes the liberty of informing his friends and the public in general that he still continues his Tobacco Manufactory, four miles north of Lexington, where he has furnished himself with a stock of Tobacco, so as to enable him to keep a twelve month's supply beforehand always by him. The quality is warranted equal to any ever manufactured in this state, and sold on liberal terms—his casks will all be branded with the initials of his name, to prevent impositions. A constant supply of the above Tobacco in casks can always be had at the stores of Saml. & Geo. Trotter, and Joseph Hudson, Lexington. Best Twist Tobacco at 9d. per pound retail, at my shop. Lexington Ky. Nov. 5th, 1808.

WARFIELD has removed his Apothecary's Shop to a house in the range of new brick buildings fronting the south-east side of the court house, second door above the corner house lately occupied by Mr. John Jordan. He has now on hand a large quantity of GENUINE MEDICINE, which he will sell cheap. Practitioners of Medicine can be supplied on terms more advantageous than they could at any of the shops in the Eastern states. Surgeons' Instruments of all kinds, and a complete assortment of Patent Medicines. Lexington, Sept. 19, 1808.

The Kentucky Hotel.
THE Subscriber has leased of Mr. Henry Clay, for a term of years, that valuable stand for a Tavern, in the town of Lexington, formerly known by the name of Travellers' Hall, where he has opened a Hotel under the above style. The situation of this property, on the public square, directly opposite the North East front of the court house, and in the centre of business, gives it peculiar advantages. Great expense has been incurred in repairs and improvements, and in point of space, convenience and comfort the apartments of the house are surpassed by none. A new stable has been erected on the back part of the lot which he ventures to pronounce is the best in the state, which will be under the immediate superintendence of Mr. William T. Banton. He has provided himself with good servants, a plentiful stock of the best liquors, and in short with every necessary calculated to accommodate and render agreeable the time of those who may favor him with their custom; and he trusts that from the attention which he means personally to give to every department of his business, he will be found to merit that patronage which he thus presumes to solicit from the public. Cubbert Banks. Lexington, Jan 1st, 1809.
IN pursuance of a decree of the Clarke circuit court, at their April term, 1809—will be sold at 12 months' credit, on the first Monday in May, on the premises, one hundred acres of land, lying in Clarke county, on the head waters of Hancock creek, which Samuel Lusk did possessed of.

Boats for Sale.
THE subscriber, owing to a contract he has with Porter Clay and Harrison Monday, will have for sale at the mouth of Tate's Creek in the course of the winter and spring, a number of Boats of every description. The boats built by Monday are known to be of a superior quality; they will be sold at the usual price, and where it will be more convenient to the purchaser the payment will be received at Natchez or New-Orleans, giving him sufficient time to dispose of his cargo. Thomas Hart.
BLANK BOOKS, WITH IRON SPRING BACKS, &c.
THE subscriber intends to continue to carry on the BOOK BINDING and STATIONERY in all its various branches, at his dwelling-house, opposite the Market House, on Main-street.

He will constantly keep on hand, an assortment of Record Books, Day Books, Journal, Ledgers and all other kinds of Blank Books.

Merchants and others who buy to sell again can be supplied wholesale with all kinds of the best WRITING PAPER, and BLANK BOOKS, on very liberal terms. Orders from any part of the western country, will be gratefully received and punctually executed.
WANTED,
A Journeyman Shoe-maker and Apprentice. THE subscriber has just arrived from England, and is now carrying on his business of Boot & Shoemaking, in Mill street, four doors from Mr. Craig's store, and opposite Mrs. Barton's. If all mankind were as great enemies to flattery as myself, they would use equally as little of it; therefore I have only informed the public where I am to be found, and where they may be supplied with Boots & Shoes as good as can be got in Lexington, and on as reasonable terms. John Dutton.
REMOVAL.
WARFIELD has removed his Apothecary's Shop to a house in the range of new brick buildings fronting the south-east side of the court house, second door above the corner house lately occupied by Mr. John Jordan. He has now on hand a large quantity of GENUINE MEDICINE, which he will sell cheap.

Surgeons' Instruments of all kinds, and a complete assortment of Patent Medicines. Lexington, Sept. 19, 1808.
DRAGON.
THE celebrated, imported, and real bred turf horse, DRAGON, is justly celebrated and unequalled horse, whose claim to superiority is not questioned, is now in my stable (in high health and good condition) where he stood the two last seasons, and will stand the ensuing under the direction and management of Mr. George Sourbrey Jr. He will be let to mares at the moderate price of Fifty Dollars the season, to be discharged at any time before the first day of September next by the payment of Thirty Dollars; Twenty Dollars the lease, paid before the mare is put to the horse, and if she does not stand, by paying the additional Ten, shall have the privilege of the season—Fifty Dollars to insure a mare in foal, paid when she is put to the horse, the money to be returned if such should not prove to be the case, provided the mare remains the property of the same person, with one dollar to the groom, paid at the stable door, whether she is put by the lease, season or insurance. Attestates notes for 40 dollars the season, payable the first day of January next, will be expected with the mares. Any gentleman who puts his mare by the season, and she does not prove to have been in foal, shall have the privilege of putting her next season gratis, provided she remains his property. No expense has been spared to provide the best pasturage, and separate lots have been fenced, for the accommodation of mares sent to the horse, which will be free of all charges, and they will be grain fed if required, upon moderate terms. Every attention will be paid to mares, but cannot be accountable for accidents or escapes.
DRAGON is a dark chestnut, handsomely marked, with a star and snip, and without exaggeration is fully sixteen hands high; he is descended from the best running stock in England, and is a brother, in blood, to the famous horse Diomed, whose stock is so highly esteemed in Virginia. It is a fact well known to a number of gentlemen in this state, who desirous the late Col. John Hoomes, of the Bowling Green, Virginia, was to obtain this horse, and never could effect it until after the death of the late Duke of Bedford, who owned him in England. DRAGON is a sure foal getter, and all information concur in proving the colts dropped from him to be more promising than any ever seen in America. A number of his colts may be seen at the stand during the season. JOHN W. HUNT. Lexington, March 16th, 1809.
DRAGON was unquestionably the best runner of his day—he won and received forfeit two and twenty times before he ended his fifth year, and in most cases for the highest prizes in England; among this number was the Whip, (which is known to be the highest object of competition ever established by the English Jockey Club,) and 200 guineas each, against two others, giving them both up a year's weight in riding, four miles; and the famous match against Gullem, four miles, carrying fifteen stone (225 lbs) upon each, in which he was rode by the Luke of Bedford, and Clifton by Sir John Lade.
Although Dragon was permitted to go to a few mares after he was withdrawn from the turf, yet the Duke of Bedford, who owned him, never relinquished him as a parade horse; and the number of his get which were dropped before the end of the year 1799, only amounts to thirty-three—one of these died young, one was sent to America, and seven were never trained; eleven winners appear however, in England, from such as have been trained out of this little stock, besides that one mentioned to have been sent to America, which, in the hands of Mr. Tayloe, proved a good runner, and has won several times in Virginia.
Mr. Cookson's Speculator, by Dragon, won 8 times one year, and 4 times the next, including the Oatlands stakes of 50 guineas each, 26 subscribers; one year: Sir F. Poul's colt Marent, by Dragon, won 5 times one year; Mr. Howard's colt Creeper, by Dragon, won 4 times one year; Mr. Howorth's Tantalus, Mr. Briggs's Phoenix, Mr. Lockley's Hospital, Lord Milington's Fisherman, Mr. Cosier's ch. Filley, Sir F. Poul's bay Filley, and Mr. Paulton's ch. Filley, all by Dragon, have also proven winners from one to three times in a year. W. HAMPTON.
Woodlands, 20th Feb. 1805. DRAGON was got by Woodpecker, (one of the best sons of King Herod, his dam Juno, (who is also the dam of Young Eclipse, and full sister to the dam of Diomed) by Spectator; his grand dam (sister to Horatius) by Blank; his great grand dam (Feather's dam, & full sister to the grand dam of Cynet and Blossom) by Childers, out of Miss Belvoir by Grantham—Paget Turk—Betsey Percival—Leeds's Arabian.
The following extract is taken from Col. Selden's advertisement of Diomed, for the year 1805—"To say nothing of the number of his colts that won in 1803, (the first season he appeared on the turf,) which greatly surpassed in number those of any other horse, although he came to America many years after several stations of high fame. In 1804 we find Mr. Tayloe's Hamiltonian winning five times, Mr. Hoomes's Peace Maker four times, Mr. Selden's Lavinia three times and Sting four times; Mr. Wyllys Mask twice, Mr. Ball's Florizel, three years old, winning two sweepstakes, which produced his owner 4000 dollars, and many other good races."
Mr. Ball has refused for his colt 5000 dollars—Hamiltonian was sold in May last, for 2000 dollars—Peace Maker was sold in October last for 2700 dollars—Lavinia in November for 2100 dollars, and 2000 refused for Sting.
PEDIGREE. Diomed was got by Florizel, (one of the best sons of King Herod) his dam by Spectator, (sister to Juno, the dam of Dragon, and Young Eclipse) his grand dam (sister to Horatius) by Blank; his great grand dam (Feather's dam, and full sister to the grand dam of Cynet and Blossom) by Childers, out of Miss Belvoir, by Grey Grantham—Paget Turk—Betsey Percival—Leeds's Arabian. MILES SELDEN.
Tree Hill, January 5th, 1805. I certify, that the facts contained in the above advertisement, respecting the pedigree and performances of Dragon, as well as those of his get, have been carefully extracted from the general stud books and racing calendars of England, and that they are strictly correct as therein stated and published—that Dragon has proved himself in my possession an uncommonly sure foal getter—and that his get, to the extent of my experience and information, are extremely promising. W. HAMPTON.
Columbia, 25th October, 1806. Having been applied to by John W. Hunt, for information relative to the character of his horse Dragon, in the state of South Carolina, which state I have just returned from, do not hesitate to say, that it appeared to me the general opinion he was one of the best foal getters ever had been in the state; and I saw a number of his colts which were very promising—I was at the house of Judge Simpkins, where Dragon had stood, and made a point to enquire of him particularly, relative to Dragon's stock, and he spoke in the highest terms of them, and said if Dragon was sent back again, he would make a great season. Given under my hand this 25th day of March, 1808. ROBT. DUDLEY.
I was at the races in Charleston, South Carolina, last month; on the third day, a Dragon colt run the two mile heats for the Jockey Club purse, where two others started—the race was a well contested one between the Dragon colt and Mr. Smith's stud horse Farmer; they were locked nearly all the way, and at the out-going they were not clear of each other—it is stated in the Charleston paper the first heat was run in four minutes two seconds, the second heat in three minutes fifty-seven seconds—that is the only Dragon colt I saw whilst in the state, and I think him a very fine colt and of fine size. J. L. DOWNING. Lexington, March 26th, 1808.
SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
WASHINGTON COURSE. Yesterday (Feb. 10, 1808) a set of $1000 was run for over this course two mile heats, and was won by col. Hampton's bay colt—a catch upon each. Col. Hampton's b. c. by Dragon, 1 1 J. P. Richardson esq's b. c. by do. 2 2 These colts are both from the same sire, and of the same age—the race was one of the best contested that has been run over this course for many years past; the horses were scarcely separated during the heats, and the winner obtained the purse by hardly a length. They both bid fair to afford good sport in future.

The Beautiful and Complete Native Arabian Horse, SELIM.
WILL stand the ensuing season, to commence the tenth of March, and expire the tenth of July, at my farm in Fayette county, six miles from Lexington, at twenty dollars the season, or thirty to secure a mare to be with foal, or 15 dollars the single lease, to be paid at the expiration of the season. SELIM is a superbly formed Horse, fourteen and a half hands high, possessing more bone and muscle than any horse in America of his size, and no doubt can be entertained of his being a genuine Arabian. Pasturage for mares gratis, but no responsibility.
B. GRAVES.
Feb. 28th, 1809. I do hereby certify, that I have bred two years from the genuine and uncommonly fine Arabian horse Selim, and that his colts are large and fine, and in my opinion not inferior to any ever foaled mine, both as to size and form. From the manner in which I became possessed of this horse, there can be no doubt of his being the best blood of Arabia can produce, as he was presented by Murad Bey to Gen. Abercromby, who intended him for England, and where he would have been taken had the General not have died. After his death Maj. Ramsey, a British officer purchased him and sold a part of him to Commodore Baron, who brought him to America. For the half of this horse I gave Commodore Baron $1500. This horse I have sent out to Maj. Benjamin Graves, near Lexington Kentucky. Given under my hand, this 10th of November, 1808. John Tayloe.
Mount Airy, Virginia.
We the subscribers do certify, that we have seen several of the colts gotten by the Arabian horse Selim, and think them in no degree inferior to those got by the most celebrated horses. Ephraim Beasley, William Moseley, David Johnston.
Prince William county, Vir'ginia, November 10, 1808. I do hereby certify, that I put a small blooded mare to the Arabian horse Selim, last year, and she produced me a very fine colt, both as to size, beauty and strength, and indeed far exceeded my expectations from the mare—I can further say, that I have seen other colts got by Selim, and think myself a judge of horse flesh, and do declare they are in my opinion fine and large. William Holburn.
Richmond county, 10th Nov. 1808. I have seen the colts alluded to by Mr. Holburn, and agree with him in opinion. Given under my hand, this 11th day of November, 1808. Benjamin Boughton.
I do certify that when I went to Hampton after Selim, for John Tayloe esq. that I saw a colt of Laurence Gibbons of Yorktown, Virginia, rising two years old, got by Selim out of a very small mare—it was uncommonly large, and among the best colts I ever saw. Gibbons had been offered 300 for it—and the report of the people in the lower country was, that his colts were uncommonly fine. Given under my hand this 9th day of January, 1809. Francis Lewis.
I do certify, that I have a colt got by Selim, out of a small mare, which is large and handsome—and I do think equal to the get of any horse in Virginia. Given under my hand this 9th day of Jan. 1809. John Stone.
The above mentioned colt was foaled about the 1st of June last, and is upwards of four feet three inches high. John Stone.

PHILADELPHIA, March 23. Extract from the Log-Book of the Ship UNION, Captain Girdon. December 14th, 1808.—At 6 p. m. was brought to by a shot from an English frigate the Ruby. The Sandwich lugger and a gun boat in company; was hailed nearly at the same moment by the frigate and lugger, and ordered to heave to, which was complied with: soon after was boarded by a lieutenant from the frigate, and immediately after, by the commander of the lugger himself. The usual enquiries, what and where the ship was from, &c. having been gone through on deck, the lieutenant of the frigate required of captain Girdon to see the papers of the ship, and to know if there was a messenger of dispatches on board; when he was invited to the cabin, where, on being introduced to Mr. Purviance, as bearer of dispatches, and after a first examination of the ship's passports and other papers, together with the log-book, he required to take them on board the frigate, the lieu. adding at the same time, that captain Girdon must go with him, also the messenger with the dispatches; that such were the orders of his commander, commander Thicknesse.
Mr. Purviance refused to go, and likewise desired captain Girdon not to leave the ship himself, nor to suffer his papers, least any accident should happen, informing captain Girdon, that he was persuaded the commander would not insist on it, when the lieutenant would go on board and make his report. At this the lieutenant flew into a rage, and made an attempt to pull the ship's papers out of captain Girdon's hands, in which he but in part succeeded. They were however, recovered again, by Captain Girdon. Both the lieutenant of the frigate and the commander of the lugger (who, being also then present) threatened captain Girdon and Mr. Purviance, if they did not go with them on board the frigate, they would be obliged to use force. On being again refused the officers went on deck, and hailed the frigate, acquainting the commander with what had taken place, who immediately ordered his officers to bring captain Girdon with his papers; at the same time another boat, full of officers and men, was sent from the frigate, who jumped on board and absolutely took command of the UNION, compelling the man at the helm to steer after the frigate.
Captain Girdon finding himself thus situated, went on board, insisting however to carry his own papers. Whilst captain Girdon was stepping into the boat, the officers were heard contending what was best to be done about Mr. Purviance going on board. The commander of the lugger advised the lieutenant to desist from forcing Mr. Purviance, until the commander had seen captain Girdon and the ship's papers. The lieutenant then, addressing himself to the captain of the lugger, said, he would again demand Mr. Purviance to go on board also which, if he positively refused, he would then go on board for further orders. The lieutenant then returned to the cabin, accompanied by a string of officers from the second boat of the frigate, and addressed himself to Mr. Purviance, in a very menacing tone in these words:
"Well Sir! do you positively refuse going on board the frigate without being forced?" —On being answered by Mr. Purviance that he was "determined neither to leave the ship, or to suffer the dispatches to be taken, unless by force, and that at the risk of his life"—The officers then left the cabin, saying he (Mr. Purviance) should soon see he would be compelled to go: That he would return and not only take him, but every passenger on board. On which, Mr. Purviance reminded the officer, that "this was not a ship in the merchant service, but a vessel sailing under the special orders of the American government, not only for the protection of its citizens, and that there were no passengers on board who were not citizens of the United States."
Mr. Purviance added, that "it would become them to be more circumspect in their conduct on board, as perhaps they might find it a more serious business than they were aware of; since he should be obliged to make a report of it, not only to the American minister at London, but also to the American government." To which the Lieutenant replied "he neither knew nor cared for the American government; that he was executing the orders of the commander, and that he should do the same if he was a king's vessel." Mr. Purviance observed that "this vessel, in her present capacity, was more sacred, perhaps than a king's vessel or an armed vessel of any nation; or she was not only protected specially by the American government, but also by the British minister residing in America."
The officers finding Mr. Purviance was determined not to give way, then attempted to take captain Girdon alone; who, after being detained upwards of an hour on board the frigate, returned with the commander of the lugger, and some of the officers of the second boat leaving behind them the lieutenant that made the first visit.
The officers then proceeded to examine the ship's hold, which they did minutely, by opening some of the passenger's baggage; as also to ascertain if there was any merchandise on board.—After which they returned to the cabin to take leave—and saying they were satisfied, they went off.
The only apology offered for this strange proceeding, was, that the boarding officer supposed Mr. Purviance, (the bearer of dispatches) from his name might be a Frenchman, and that the possession of the dispatches was assumed as a cover for him. And that when they hailed the ship before boarding, they understood captain Girdon to answer, that the ship was called the Ganges instead of the UNION.
The Pennypack paper mills near Philadelphia were destroyed by fire on Sunday evening last—loss estimated at $20,000.
NEWARK March 20. Fire—We are concerned to state, that on Tuesday morning last the large Cotton Manufactory of Bloomfield, near this town, together with all its contents, was entirely consumed by fire. We understand that the property was owned wholly or in part by the ingenious Mr. Crosby, and that the actual loss he has sustained is estimated at about Fifteen Thousand dollars.
The ships Pacific, Stanton, for Falmouth, and Mentor, Ward, for L'Orient, both with messengers and dispatches, failed yesterday afternoon, with a fine breeze from W. N. W. madam Turreau and children went out in the latter. Both were full of passengers.
BY LAST EVENING'S MAIL.
From the London Courier of Feb. 18, evening. Of America.—The first Division this season took place last night upon Lord Grenville's motion relative to America and the orders in council. The motion was negatived 15 to 70. The main ground taken by the late ministers was, that we ought to have accepted the proposition with America made to us last August, to repeal the embargo with respect to her. Lord Melville, who spoke for the first time this session, placed the question in a clear, perspicuous, statesman-like point of view, proving that our orders were in retaliation to the Decrees of France, the repeal of which must precede the removal of our orders. The American embargo was confessed by its authors, to be a municipal measure, and had nothing to do with the case in point.
LONDON, February 17. Mr. Cevallos has arrived in London, and the accounts he has communicated tend to confirm the opinion entertained by some people in this country, of the popular enthusiasm in the south of Spain in favour of the Bourbon dynasty. To provide against difficulties, we are happy to learn that measures are taken to secure the fleet in the port of Cadiz, from the calamity which has unhappily befallen that in the harbour of Ferrol, where ten line of battle ships and five frigates are said to be in the hands of the enemy.
Many persons have been arrested in Cadiz and great exertions are making to improve the fortification of that place.
LONDON, Feb. 18.—The Marquis de Romana, with the remains of his army, has taken possession of Bayonne, a sea-port in Galicia, where it is likely he will be able to sustain himself till we can send ships to bring him away.
The expedition preparing at Cork goes on with the greatest alacrity. Orders were yesterday received at Portsmouth to dispatch 40 sail of transports to Cork—they will sail the instant the wind is fair.
London Feb. 6.—PORTUGAL. The French have again possessed themselves of this country. His majesty's ship triumph left the Tagus on the 17th ult. at which time the guns of the forts of St. Julian and Belem had been spiked and thrown into the sea, and every thing was in a forward state of preparation for the evacuation of Lisbon; the near approach of a formidable French force, under the command of Duke de Belluno, having been accurately ascertained.—Oporto, we believe, is already in the possession of the enemy.
Bonaparte has communicated to the Senate his resolution respecting Spain and Portugal; the latter is to be united to Spain; and to form a new kingdom for his brother Joseph; in compensation whereof, Biscay the rest of Navarre, part of Arragon, and Catalonia, are to be annexed to France & the river Ebro, from Sanderen to Torthea, is said to be the future limit of France.
THE LOTTERY For the improvement of the upper end of Main-Street, will commence drawing on the last Monday in May next. A few tickets are yet unsold, and may be had at the office of the Kentucky Gazette.
No money will be wanting until the prizes are due, any person purchasing one Ticket shall have a credit of 30 days from the conclusion of the drawing, by giving a negotiable note with a good endorser.
The citizens of Lexington have witnessed the great improvements made on the Streets by Lotteries; and when they recollect how much the upper end of Main-Street requires similar improvement it is confidently hoped that the accomplishment of that object, exclusive of the flattering prospect of gain will be an inducement sufficient to ensure the sale of the remaining Tickets.
FOR RENT, THE family part of the House adjoining the store of Williamson & Dodge. There are six good rooms—four of them have fire places; a good kitchen, &c. For terms, apply to David Williamson. N. B. This house is so situated as will make it a good and convenient place for an office, in business of any kind, as it may be divided.

A Mule Strayed FROM my farm in the month of October last—near two joints have been taken off the tail, and it is branded on the near shoulder Br. but the brand may hardly be perceptible. It may probably be within a range of from ten to twenty miles from Lexington, and is perhaps the only stray mule in that distance. Any person who will send it home, or give information where it is to be had, shall be well rewarded. Robert Barr. Locust-Grove, near Lexington, April 22d, 1809. This mule will be 2 or 3 years old this spring.
KENTUCKY GAZETTE.
"True to his charge— He comes, the Herald of a noisy world; News from all nations lumbering at his back."
LEXINGTON, APRIL 25.
ECLIPSE. In a part of the first edition of the Kentucky Almanac, a typographical error was committed, relative to the eclipse which is to take place on Saturday evening next. It is there stated to happen in the morning, which should have been in the afternoon. And the Eclipse on the 23d October, in the same copies, should have been morning instead of afternoon.
We have received a letter from one of our subscribers in Montgomery county, from which we extract the following, assuring himself and others, that the neglect is not attributable to us, as we have regularly deposited the papers in the Post Office at this place the evening of the day on which they are printed.
"Montgomery, April 7th, 1809. As a subscriber for your Gazette, I inform you, that through the neglect of post office, your subscribers in the neighbourhood of Six's mill, have not received their papers since January. When we became subscribers, we were to have our papers lodged at the above mill weekly. This neglect we hope you will have rectified in future. We are informed the post leaves the papers on the road for his expenses."
ERRATA. The Sweepstake Races, advertised to be run on the fourth of May, will not be run till the eleventh.
The legislature of Pennsylvania have appropriated $18,000 to satisfy Olmstead's claim.
The New-Hampshire elections have terminated in favour of Federalism. In Massachusetts the Federalists appear to have the advantage.
One of the principal squares in Richmond V. was nearly consumed by fire.
FARMERS—ATTENTION!!! Until lately, none of our productions have produced Cash. At present there is one, in the cultivation of which, the whole United States cannot rival Kentucky, which sells readily for that valuable commodity, the demand and price of which has been much increased, and which without doubt will continue to year after year—I mean Hemp. Heretofore America has been principally supplied with this article from Russia—the Union producing but a small part of what was consumed. Congress has given bounties to encourage the fisheries of New-England—and has laid protecting duties to encourage every species of manufacture and agriculture which could at all be made to supply the current demand. There can be no doubt, but Congress will also do this with respect to Hemp—whenever it is found that the country can afford a supply adequate to the quantity required for consumption. The Eastern States from the poverty of their soil cannot produce much of it; nor can any western state (but Kentucky) from the same cause and also from a want of Slave labour. In every case where they have the one, they have not the other; except in Tennessee, where they are engaged wholly in the cultivation of cotton. Kentucky therefore must always be the principal Hemp State—and Kentucky can go far to supply what is demanded for the consumption of the Union. Let Farmers therefore promote the interests of their country by promoting their own. Let them sow all be Hemp they can. The more Hemp, the more manufacturers will be established, and the more manufacturers the better will be the price of the article. This has been the uniform progress of the Hemp business heretofore. And there can be no doubt also, but the present Congress which has shown every disposition to make us independent of the world, will adopt decisive measures to encourage this part of our industry. This year not a Hemp Seed but will be sown—more would be if it could be procured. This is a serious misfortune, and arose from an opinion which generally prevailed last year, and which I was weak enough myself to entertain, that in consequence of the high price of feed, then, great quantities would be raised, and the market would be glutted with it this spring. So fully was I impressed with this opinion, that I expected I could buy cheaper than I could raise it; & now I cannot sow half the Hemp I intended because I cannot procure the Seed. Most of my neighbors and numbers whom I heard of elsewhere are in the same situation—unfortunately the same opinion I find prevails as to what will be the price of feed next year and for the same reason I should not be surprised if it was then scarcer and higher. I would therefore advise every farmer who intends to raise Hemp next year, to raise as much seed as he thinks will answer his own purposes. He will then be safe, and cannot be disappointed; and if feed should even be low, he will not be obliged to pay money for it, and can lose little or nothing—if anything at all.
A FARMER. Editorial note. Our correspondent informs us that one quart of feed will fow an acre in drills, and that an acre will produce 75 bushels of feed.
Extract of a letter to a gentleman in this place dated "St. Louis, April 5, 1809. "We are at present in a state of alarm. The Sankies, Ioways, Fox and Paunty, formerly mortal enemies of the Olages, have now joined, and threaten destruction to us all. They stole a number of horses from the neighboring farmers a few days ago, and a party of mounted riflemen have gone in pursuit of them. Governor Lewis has ordered out 140 riflemen to march immediately for the defence of Fort Belle Vue, near the river De Moin. The works are very incomplete, not having had time to build a block house, or finish their pickets."
Lieut. Prior arrived here from the above place, a few days ago, and from his report, we fear their small garrison will be butchered before a reinforcement can get up. We have very little apprehension here as we can raise a respectable force in a few hours should the British and their very humane allies attack us in force, we may probably be obliged to request a reinforcement from the Big Knives. Friendly Indians who have come in, say, that several bad birds from Canada are flying about the village." The foregoing letter was brought by an express dispatched by Governor Lewis, to point Governor Harrison with the hostile disposition of the Indians.—(Reporter.)

The celebrated, imported English turf horse, HONEST JOHN,
A BEAUTIFUL dark bay or brown about 16 hands high, length, elegantly, & proportionally formed, of fine movement, and possessing great muscular power, will stand this season at my stable in Lexington, and let to mares at the very reduced price of Twenty Dollars the season, which may be discharged by Fifteen sent with the mare, and One Dollar to the groom for each mare when put; Thirty Dollars to insure a colt, the money to be returned should the mare not prove to be with foal, provided the remains the property of the person who put her to the horse. Attested notes for twenty dollars the season, or thirty to insure, must be sent with the mare, payable on or before the 20th December next. I would advise those gentlemen who wish to breed from this famous turf horse, to come and inspect him, that they may be able to judge for themselves. While on the turf in England, his performance there will justly entitle him to be ranked amongst the first order of great running horses. One of the greatest runners now in England, is own brother to Honest John, which is Sir H. Williamson's Honest Starling, who in 1805, won eight places, two of which were king's plates and a gold cup, which may be seen by reference to the Racing calendar of 1805 now in my possession. The great scarcity of cash, and the liberality of my Friends in putting to other fine horses that I formerly owned, has induced me to cover this great horse at so reduced a price. Good pasturage gratis for mares at a distance, but no responsibility—mares will be fed with grain, if required, at a moderate price, for which the money must be sent with the mares.
WILLIAM T. BANTON.
Lexington, April, 1809.
PEDIGREE.

He is a bay horse, fifteen and a half hands high, strong, bony and well proportioned; and for pedigree and performance, the following certificates will prove him equal to any horse ever imported.
CERTIFICATES.
This is to certify, that the bay horse Sourcecrouth was bred by the Duke of Grafton, he was got by Highflyer, his dam, Jewel, by Squirrel, grand dam, Sophia, by Blank; his dam, Lord Leigh's Diana, by Second; grand dam, Mr. Hanger's brown mare, by Stanyan's Arabian, out of Gipsy; she was bred by Sir Ralph Milbank, got by King William's Black Barb without a Tongue, out of Sir Ralph's black mare, bred by Mr. D. Acrey, and got by Makeless, out of one of his best royal mares. Sourcecrouth won eight times at five years old, and has not been in training since; he was no more than six years old last grass; he has no white except saddle spots. This horse I sold to Robert Heaton. Witness my hand, Richard Tattersall.
PERFORMANCES OF SOURCECROUT.
April 30th, at Newmarket, he beat Sir W. Aston's Vinegar, a match for 45 guineas—June 28th, at Ascot Heath, he won the bag-shot stakes of 10 guineas each, six subscribers, beating Jave-lan and four others—he also beat at Ascot Heath Mr. Fynnel's Sal Williams, for 45 guineas—and same day Mr. Cookson's Chambooe, two miles, for 100 guineas—he won at Blandford 50l. for all ages, four mile heats, beating Phalanx and three others, two of which were distanced the first heat—at Dorchester he won 50l. four mile heats, beating Phalanx and Merry Andrew—at Burford he received 50 guineas forfeit, from True Blue—at Bath he won fifty—at Newmarket he received 60 guineas forfeit from Mr. Strutt's Bramble.
Highflyer, the sire of Sourcecrouth, won 8920 guineas, and never started after he was five years old; he was never beaten, nor paid forfeit; he got more running horses than any horse in England; and in 1791 he covered at fifty guineas a mare and one guinea to the groom.

Ten Dollars Reward.
ELOPED from Rossowell Johnson's (on Roanoke, Montgomery county, Virginia) where she was his sixth tenant, a Negro Woman, named Rachel, about eighteen or nineteen years of age, straight and well made, about five feet three inches high, low forehead, rather a dull countenance, and seldom speaks, but when she does, it is accompanied with a simple smile, which appears the effects of bashfulness; she has remarkable white sound teeth, which she shows when she speaks; she has been raised to house work chiefly; can cook, wash, and spin cotton or wool exceedingly well; she was raised at Genl. Preston's on New river; and all her family live in that neighbourhood; she was never out of the county until her elopement, and has left her husband who belongs to me and whom she lived with in apparent content. It is supposed that she has been persuaded off by some white man who has induced her to believe he would give her freedom, and take her to some other state, where I make no doubt but she will be sold; it is believed they will make to some of the western states, probably Tennessee or Natchez, or Kentucky. I cannot exactly tell what clothing she had, as she was hired out, but I understand she took with her a yellow linsey habit, a dark chambray and a white muslin do. with several other articles of clothing. We have reason to believe she was disguised in a boy's habit, as she had mentioned to some of her companions that a proposition of this kind had been made to her by a white man who had promised her freedom to go with him, but said she had no thoughts of it. I will give the above reward if taken in the county, or for giving such information that she may be regained; and if at a greater distance, I will pay in proportion, besides paying all reasonable charges in bringing her to the subscriber, living in Montgomery, Virginia. Eliza Madison.
