BLAZE,
WHO was imported from England in the year 1793, at five years old, by Col Hugh Nelson, of York town, in Virginia, will stand the ensuing season which will commence the 10th day of March, and end on the 10th day of August, at Col. Robert Saunders's tavern, Scott county, 3 miles from Georgetown, and 8 from Lexington; and may cover mares at five pounds each, the season. A promissory attested note, will be required with the mare, for five pounds, payable the 25th day of December ensuing—which may be discharged by the payment of twelve dollars, if paid within the season. Seven dollars the fugle leap, to be paid at the stable door. Young cattle, or good beef cattle, or merchantable hemp, will be received at the market price, if delivered at said Saunders's by the 25th of December, to discharge the 5 pounds.
There will be large and excellent meadows, well enclosed for mares from a distance, at 25 per week. Great attention will be paid to mares, to give general satisfaction, but will not be answerable for escapes or accidents that may happen.
BLAZE is a beautiful bay, near seventeen hands high, nicely marked, of uncommon great strength and activity; his figure is given up to be unexceptionable.

The object proposed to be carried into effect by the assistance of this lottery, is so laudable, and its utility so very obvious, that little doubt can be entertained of success in the sale of tickets; consequently it is expected the time of drawing will not be very remote.

I HAVE been directed by the managers of the Lexington Lodge Lottery, to order suits to be commenced against every person in arrears for the purchase of tickets without discrimination; but think it proper to give this further notice, under the fullest confidence, that many of those indebted will prevent the managers from being forced to a measure so extremely disagreeable; and will relieve them from their present difficulties, by immediately paying to me, their respective balances due the lottery. Application is frequently made for prizes; but no money to discharge them—suits have been commenced and judgments obtained against the managers. CASH is really wanted, and it is hoped this notice will be attended to.—No further indulgence can be given. All those who have purchased tickets and are entitled to a credit on account of prizes, are requested to forward their fortunate numbers as soon as possible, that the true state of their accounts may be known.

WHO may incline to carry on the business of rectifying spirituous liquors and the manufacturing cordials in an extensive manner, may now be supplied with the necessary articles for carrying on the same, by applying at the sign of Andrew McCall's Apothecary's Shop near stray pen Lexington. The Articles principally are for making the following liquors, viz. Spirituous andiced-water ditto clove-water ditto orange-water, all fours, &c. Also for making brandy and geneva equal in flavour and purity to that imported—There are upwards of 300 lbs. of Holland juniper berries, and 100 lbs. aniseeds, which may be purchased distinct from the other articles, if applied for soon. Any person or persons inclining to purchase the whole, or the juniper berries or aniseed alone, or the whole or part of the articles for making brandy and cordials, will (if required) receive genuine instructions gratis, how to use them to the greatest possible advantage.

An address to Mr. KEILING.
SIR;
THERE is not a single truth, in the whole science of morals, more evident, than that a bad cause, will produce contemptible measures, and that the advocates for erroneous principles, will shrink from the dignity of rational debate, to the meanest subterfuge.
Experience justifies this assertion; and as a melancholy instance of what a conspicuous figure, man is capable of making, in the world of folly, your late address, is not amongst the least memorable. You have betrayed a want of stability, that would have disgraced the memory of the venerable character you assume; for instead of manfully combating principles, for the service of your country, you have quitted the ground, and fled from debate, with the precipitation of a pursued thief.
Did you mean, sir, to enlighten the citizens of Kentucky, by the remarks contained in your hand bill? or did you merely suppose that the feelings of Algernon Sidney, were to be wounded by the sarcastic turn you gave to the subject?
There have been innumerable instances, Mr. Keiling in the field of politics, of men, so exceedingly fallible, as to out write their own cause and to wield the dagger against their own principles.
this revolution, you have discovered, in addressing your hand bill, to Sidney and not to the subject; and a second, which prophesies that you either think your cause a bad one, or that you know too little of principles, to hazard a fundamental enquiry is, that you have not refuted with the same spirit, that you have ridiculed.
Peace to thy memory, unfortunate Keiling! Thou hast scratched an untimely grave with thy goose quill; and the enlightened world has gently shrouded thy remains, in the obscure tomb, which nature and nature's God originally intended for thee.
ALGERNON SIDNEY.
MR. SIDNEY,
SINCE it was suggested to me, (in an exulting manner) that you intended to address the author of the piece signed Keiling, through the medium of the public papers, I made every enquiry necessary to enable me to reply...
N. B. Keiling intends to answer Sidney, as soon as possible.

In the council of five hundred on the 1st of February, it was decreed, 1st. That henceforth all objects relative to the marine and army of England shall be the great object of the day, and have priority over all others.

Various rumours are in circulation throughout France, relative to disputes among the directory, and new projects of a change in their constitution.
It appears that general Angereau has been appointed to the command of the army on the frontiers of Spain, and it is announced as a trust of great importance.
By our letters from France we are informed that the flag of truce which failed with the Prussian minister, was captured by a French privateer, and the seamen put in irons.
February 13.
The unfortunate city of Lyons seems doomed to suffer new calamities; by a decree of the directory, it has been declared in a state of siege.
The accounts from Paris and Spain portend important events.
February 14.
The lines of Plymouth have just undergone a complete repair; and several pieces of heavy ordnance are now planted. There is a guard at each of the two barrier gates, and an additional body of troops seems to be looked on as the only thing necessary to ensure a complete defence.
The floating batteries for the defence of the harbours of Waterford, Kinsale, Limerick, Galway, Wexford and other ports in Ireland, have all arrived safe at their station. Some of these are of fifty guns each, which, with the numerous gun boats, and the disposition of the military forces on or near the sea coast, leave no reason to fear any attempt of an enemy's invasion.
Philadelphia, April 17.

The French troops under general Berthier entered Rome on the 10th February, French troops have entered the territory of Berne--A constitution has been sent to Pays de Vaud from Paris, by citizen Ochs, and adopted. Buonaparte was at Calais--D'Aranjo is to be tried. Spain has granted permission for 50,000 troops to march through that country to Portugal--Hamburg has submitted to all the French requisitions.--The late hour at which the mail arrived prevents enlarging.
A gentleman in this city has received a letter from Norfolk, dated the 14th inst. which mentions, that a vessel in a short passage from London, seen going into Baltimore, reported, that the American commissioners had left Paris, and were in London.
Elizabethtown, (N. J.) April 17.
FOREIGN ARTICLES.
By an arrival at New-York on Sunday last from Cork, in 34 days, we learn "That the senate of Hamburg has acceded to the demands of the French relative to the seizure of English merchandise, the English expelled, and the shutting up of that port against the commerce of England:--that the emigrants were ordered to quit the city in 24 hours:--that the attack on England, which was intended to be about the first of April, with 300,000 men, was to be a general one:--that the French troops have entered Rome and taken possession of St. Angelo and the capitol: that the Spanish fleet had failed from Cadiz and supposed to have formed a junction with the Brest fleet:--that citizen Prinet, artist, has just submitted, to the directory a plan for a floating camp, composed of vessels of an absolutely new construction, and of which the solidity shall be such, that it will be capable of resisting the effects of the sea, and all the attacks of the enemy. The author proposes to construct this camp of a sufficient size to contain 100,000 men. A number of distinguished artists have seen this plan, and have deemed it worthy of fixing the attention of the government.
Several letters from Germany announce that for three months past, England has been at work with the different cabinets of Europe, especially Peterburgh, Berlin, and Vienna, to prevail on them to become mediators in their favor with France. While our government declares a war of death against that of England, Buonaparte in the silence of a cabinet, prepares himself to fulfil the terrible decree. Government has issued proposals to painters to finish paintings of our most celebrated victories; as well as sculptures for the monuments of our greatest generals.
If we can believe letters from Rastadt, the emperor is now seriously occupied in a project of pacification between France and England; they even go so far as to flatter us with hopes of speedy success.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
THE MISERIES OF HUMAN LIFE.
Alas! why the catalogue of ills prolong, And swell with complicated woes, the song? Recount those darker moments of despair, When all the passion, fierce and unconfin'd, Rush with the tempers fury on the mind, And reason, headlong, from her station bear.
When poverty, to every other pang Adds her keen edge—presents an infant train, Who with imploring eyes around thee hang, And raise their suppliants for bread—in vain.
Stern fate, perhaps, determin'd to destroy All that was precious—all thou wou'dst to save; And crush, at once, the source of every joy— Blasts the young consort, blooming in thy arms, Nipt, in the bud, a daughter's opening charms, Or gives thy bolom friend to an untimely grave.
AN E C D O T E.
A parson having a mind to try the arithmetical abilities of a boy, asked him how many black birds it would take to make a quill—the boy after a moment's hesitation, answered "just as many as it would take parsons to make a man of sense."
