NEW-YORK, December 7. The Cheele intended as a present from the ladies of Cheshire to the president of the United States arrived at this port yesterday on its way to the city of Washington. It is 13 feet in circumference, 18 inches thick, and weight upwards of 12 hundred pounds. Five hundred dollars were offered for it in Cheshire, and refused.
WASHINGTON (City,) Dec. 21.
Supreme Court of the United States. On Wednesday last, a notice was served on the Secretary of State, informing him that a motion would be made the next day before the Supreme Court of the United States, for a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue to direct the Secretary of State to deliver commissions to certain persons nominated by Mr. Adams to the Senate of the United States, and approved of by them, as Justices of the Peace, in the district of Columbia. The next day, Mr. Charles Lee made the motion. He read the affidavit of William Marbury, setting forth that a commission had been made out for him to be a justice of the peace, for the county of Washington, signed by Mr. Adams, and by his order had the great seal of the United States affixed to it, which commission had been withheld from him. He also read two other affidavits from persons in Alexandria, similarly situated.
The court took time to consider the motion; when on Friday, Chief Justice Marshall delivered the opinion of the court, which was for granting the rule, and further assigned the fourth day of next term as the period for showing cause why a mandamus should not issue.
Captain Smith arrived at Charleston, from Gibraltar, informs, that before he left Gibraltar, dispatches had been received there by one of the captains of the Tripolitan cruisers, which were blockaded there by the American Squadron, from the Bey of Tripoli, directing his admiral to offer terms of peace to Commodore Dale. As the Admiral was not there, capt. Smith did not learn whether Commodore Dale had been applied to by the captain; but it was generally supposed the Bey was sick of his warfare and was willing to accommodate things on almost any terms.
Capt. S. further informs, a little time before he sailed, C. Dale being with the frigate President, in Algeziras road, sent a boat, with a lieut. and eleven men to Gibraltar, to offer such American vessels as were there, a convoy up the Straits; on their return the boat was upset, and every soul perished. C. Dale requested Capt. Smith to make this unfortunate event known.

On Saturday last, about two o'clock in the afternoon, the town was alarmed with the cry of FIRE! It proved to be in the roof of the Presbyterian meeting house, and occasioned by a negro shooting at pigeons in the house, when the wad stuck in the shingles. Happily the fire was extinguished before any material damage was sustained. Is not this circumstance a sufficient caution to the trustees, rigidly to execute the law against shooting within the in lots of this town?
About the 25th ult. a negro man belonging to Mr. Sutton, of Scott county, and who had been some time runaway, was brought into this town sick; and an irruption took place the next day remembring the small pox. As soon as it was made known to the trustees, they had him removed to an empty house on an out lot, and prohibited any intercourse with him, by those who have not had the small pox. The negro has not yet recovered, nor is there any appearance of his wife and two children (who have been constantly with him) having taken the disorder, which still continues to have the appearance of the small pox.
On Saturday last the following gentlemen were elected trustees for the town of Lexington, for the present year, viz.
Alexander Parker, John M. Boggs, Robert Campbell, Robert Patterson, Robert Holmes, William Huston, William Maubean.
To the EDITOR of the PALLADIUM.
SIR, In your paper of the 13th of November 1801, I have seen what you call a good humored, half jocular, half earnest letter to the Speaker of the Senate, for the removal of the seat of justice for Livingston; I shall not pretend to say what may be your opinion of humour, you are a stranger, and of that country I am told where sentiment is in very low esteem; you may have been early taught to bend to the majesty of a name and from early habits learned yourself to think, that what ever was thought good humored or witty by a man with a sonorous addition to his name, was in reality so, altho' it struck at the reputation of two thirds of the inhabitants of a respectable county, and a majority of the justices who compose its courts—making the above allowance for you, I hope the justices and citizens of Livingston county, may be inclined to pardon you for your pretty note—I shall now pass over the filthy insinuations of the said good humored address, proceed to justify the conduct of the magistrates in fixing the seat of justice for Livingston county at Eddyville. You will find that by law the seat of justice was directed to be fixed at or as near the center of the county as convenience and eligibility would admit of, if you will examine the boundary of the county you will find that the center would be a considerable distance to the south of Tennessee river in the Indian boundary, consequently the center would be ineligible.—The question then would naturally arise must it be as near this center as eligibility will admit of—Yes, from the words of the law it ought; would it be eligible to place it in the center of the boundary to which the Indian claim is extinguished—No, because even that boundary is too large & a division of the county will soon take place & our expenses on public buildings thrown away; the justices then agreed to place it in the center or as near to as eligibility would admit of in the county, when the proposed division shall have taken place, and in order to give themselves time for deliberation and to ascertain which was the most eligible spot for the aforesaid purpose, they adjourned to the different places proposed or near them, and finally concluded that Eddyville was the most eligible; and in this determination, I am persuaded that no reflecting man can censure them, if he will put himself to the trouble of examining the geographical situation of the county, if he will ask the Gen. mentioned in the address, he will be told that Eddyville is 20 miles from where the county line crosses Cumberland river, is 12 or 15 from the Tennessee, is 40 or 45 from the mouth of Cumberland, and to the Henderson line from 30 to 40 miles or thereabouts, let him ask the said Gen. if Eddyville is not situated near the head of big boat navigation, whether every heavy laden boat destined up the river, is not obliged, in summer or dry seasons, to be lightened there, and if it has not already become a place of considerable business, the Gen. will certainly acknowledge those facts—true it is a certain David Walker did propose to give five hundred dollars to the county, provided the permanent seat of justice should be fixed there. In this he conceived himself justified because the house our legislature now sits in was partly paid for by the former owner of the soil, on condition of the permanent seat of government being fixed at Frankfort—upon a summary we will find if we regard or consider commerce as an object worth the attention of the justices, Eddyville is the spot; if we regard convenience, Eddyville; if we regard the wishes of our brethren on the Ohio side of the county, Eddyville; or if we regard economy, the proposals of five hundred dollars by Walker, will direct to Eddyville.—And least improper impressions should be made by the said address, I request any person or persons who with information to ask the aforementioned Gen. if any public notice was given of the meeting of the Donaldson committee? what numbers composed the said committee? and if their last setting or deliberations on the subject of the address, was not held at the house of Clayton Talbotts in the town of Russellville, county of Logan at least fifty miles from Livingston county? and if the said gen. was not detained when on his way to the present session of assembly, for the final accomplishment, of the aforesaid half jocular, half earnest, good humored, witty, pretty, party, dirty, mischievous address? This I have wrote, not at the request of a number of my neighbors, nor as chairman of a committee said to be in Livingston, convened fifty miles therefrom, but from a sincere desire that no improper idea should be attached to the good people of Livingston or their magistrates; and that should a question hereafter arise, about the removal of the seat
of justice; the legislature may be apprised of the situation of the county and the mode of proceeding that has produced this jocular address—were I not sure that there was more ill nature and design, than good nature and joke, I would not have wrote all.

Extracts from the Journal of the House of Representatives.
Tuesday, December 29.
A message, in writing, was received from the Governor by Mr. Tod, as follows to wit:
MR. SPEAKER,
The unlawful assemblies, to disturb the peace of this town, on the nights of Friday and Saturday last, and with the design to maltreat certain members of the legislature, are but two well known to the house. Had the affair been less notorious, it would have been my duty to have brought it before you immediately on your meeting yesterday morning. Willing, however, to draw a veil over it as far as possible, without suffering it to pass entirely unnoticed, the names of certain persons, to wit, Michael Baldwin, Samuel M'Adow, Stephen Giffen and Reuben Abrams, who were, as I had been informed, concerned in those unlawful assemblies, were given by me to Mr. Finley, an intelligent gentleman, and justice of the peace, residing here, (and who had been called on Saturday night to assist in dispersing them) with a request that they might be bound over, to the next court of general quarter sessions of the peace for the county, and, in the mean time, put under cognizance for their good behavior and the names of certain persons as witnesses, to wit, Jeremiah M'Leane, the sheriff of the county; John Reily, esq. clerk of your House; William Rutledge and Alexander Jenkins, were mentioned to him at the same time.
To my great surprise, on Monday afternoon I received from Mr. Finley, the note marked No. 1, perceiving thereby that he had mistaken the design in referring the business to him, and had supposed not only that he was competent to determine it, but had also made the Governor the prosecutor, and party to the suit. A note of which the paper marked No. 2 is a copy, was written to him. That produced the answer marked No. 3. No. 4 is my reply; and No. 5 his definitive answer.
They are submitted to the house; and with the legislature it rests, gentlemen, to direct the farther measures that may be proper to be taken.

JOHN W. HUNT, P. M.
GREAT BARGAINS. Will be sold by the Subscriber, and for a greater part, Extensive Credits will be given, in annual payments, the purchaser giving good bond and security; The following PROPERTY I will sell, from this day forward, (to wit:)
VALUABLE BUILDINGS, and the Lots of ground they are on, in Paris—they begin at the Main Corner street facing the Court house, and running parallel with the public ground one hundred feet—
The first a large two story frame building, in which there is a large well finished store house and counting room, both large fire places of brick; the other part well calculated for a tavern, six well finished rooms plaitered, and four large fire places; another room, thirty-six feet by twenty, and two fire places, and within five feet of the back room door, a brick lodging room, and a kitchen adjoining—The balance of the building of brick, two stories high; with four houses, twenty feet square, rented out to different families; convenient to those are two small kitchens—there is a stable and small garden for the use of the large building. I have also nine acres of out lots in excellent order for cultivation—Those buildings were first valued by a number of workmen at eight thousand dollars; and several useful additions have been made to them since—I will now give them extremely low, and give them clear of all incumbrance.
Another property I have in Mason county, one mile and three quarters from Limestone—two valuable overshot mills, in as high credit for manufacturing flour, as any in the state, and are now repairing and almost done, so as to start in complete order when the season for grinding commences, with the best Burr and Allegany stones, rolling screens &c.—Those mills in the season for grinding, can make forty barrels of flour every day that they are worked; and any person inclining to purchase, can be informed, that the quality of the flour is superior to any that has been boated from Limestone. With those I will sell a valuable negro man, a good miller; the plantation of 140 acres, 100 apple trees, of fruit equal to any in the state, a fine clover and blue grass pasture and meadow, a small dwelling house
and farm with other out houses, cherry and peach orchard—the title indisputable; and I will give it clear of all incumbrance. For this property I have in two years paid nine thousand dollars.
I have also for sale, 700 acres of Military land, fourteen miles from Washington, North West of the Ohio river, with a very promising salt lick, supposed to have salt water, a small trial has been made, and some salt made by a Mr. Sherry.
I have also two small plantations in Bourbon, that I will sell—they are mostly first rate land.
I have patents for lands near Montgomery court house, of the first quality; eight thousand acres, the half of which I will sell at one third its value; the purchaser may have his choice; patented 17 years ago; entries very special.
Also the half of 600 acres of first quality, three miles from Fleming court house; old patents and special entries—on the same terms.
I have also one thousand acres for sale, adjoining lower Mackasee's tract, level, but of inferior quality—for this I will take good horses at 6s per acre; the title undoubted.
I have also for sale about 300 acres, on Cedar creek, of Floyd's fork, with a never failing spring on it; a part rich land, and a part indifferent, within six miles of Mann's lick; this has excellent range and timber—for this I will take good salt at 12s per acre, if cash 9s per acre.
I have also for sale, six hundred acres, patented land, on Clover lick, eight miles from the Crab orchard—this I will take 3s per acre for in cash, or 4s 6d in horses.
If it will be an accomodation to those who may incline to purchase the mills, I will give in an excellent house woman, now living in Lexington.
I will also sell a good flock of hogs cattle, mares and colts, with the mills.
I will give such excellent bargains in all, or any of the aforesaid property, that any person inclining to purchase, may be well accomodated. The mills I will deliver up the tenth of March next, or if sooner required, on a little more advance, they shall be given up.
Money, good Merchandise Negroes, and Horses, will be taken by instalments, as will best suit the purchaser.
Application to my son John Edwards, jun. in Bourbon, or to Mr. David S. Brodrick, in Washington, or Mr. Enoch Smith, near Montgomery court house, or James Brown esq. in Lexington, for information and contracts with respect to the property, or to the subscriber, either in Bourbon or Washington, may be made.
Any of my creditors choosing to purchase, shall have on the lowest terms, as I am determined to sell.
I will sell 1000 barrels of flour, all to be delivered before the 15th of March next. And,
I have also one other plantation for sale, near Warwick, 233 acres cleared, and the title secure.
Any person purchasing the mills I will furnish with wheat at cash price, and will, if employed, engage to clear them in the sales of flour &c. this season, 2500 or 3000 dollars.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
CARELESS CONTENT.
I am content, I do not care, Wag as it will the world for me; When full, and fret was all my fare, It got no ground as I could lee; So when away my caring went, I counted cost, and was content.
With more of thanks, and less of thought, I strive to make my matters meet; To seek what ancient sages sought, Physic and food, in four and sweet: To take what passes in good part, And keep the hiccups from the heart.
With good and gentle humor'd hearts, I choose to chat where'er I come; Whate'er the subject be that starts; But if I get among the glum, I hold my tongue to tell the truth, And keep my breath to cool my broth.
For chance or change, of peace or pain; For fortune's favor or her frown; For lack or glut, for loss or gain, I never dodge, nor up nor down: But swing what way the ship shall swim, Or tack about with equal trim.
I suit not where I shall not speed, Nor trace the turn of ev'ry tide; If simple sense will not succeed, I make no bustling, but abide: For shining wealth, or scaring woe, I force no friend, I fear no foe.
Of ups and downs, of ins and outs, Of they're i'th' wrong, and we're i'th' right, I shun the rancours, and the routs, And wishing well to every wight, Whatever turn the matter takes, I deem it all but ducks and drakes.
With whom I feast I do not fawn, Nor if the folks should flout me, faint; If wanted welcome be withdrawn, I cook no kind of a complaint: With none dispos'd to disagree, But like them best who best like me.
Not that I rate myself the rule How all my betters should behave; But fame shall find me no man's fool, Nor to a set of men a slave; I love friendship free and frank, And hate to hang upon a hank.
Fond of a true and trusty tie, I never lose where'er I link; Tho' if a bus'ness budges by, I talk thereon just as I think: My word, my work, my heart, my hand, Still, on a side, together stand.
If names or notions make a noise, Whatever hap the question hath, The point impartially I poise, And read and write, but without wrath; For should I burn, and break my brains, Pray, who will pay me for my pains?
I love my neighbor as myself, Myself like him too, by his leave; Nor to his pleasures, power, or pelf, Came I to crouch, as I conceive: Dame Nature doubtless has design'd A man, the monarch of his mind.
Now taste and try this temper, Sirs, Mood it, and brood it in your breast; Or if ye ween, for worldly flirts, That man does right to mar his rest, Let me be dest, and debonaire, I am content, I do not care.
ANECDOE.
A finished coquette, at a ball, asked a gentleman near her, whilst she adjusted her tucker, whether he could flirt a fan , which she held in her hand. "No madam," answered he, proceeding to use it, "but I can fan a flirt ."
I will either Sell or Rent, my HOUSES & LOTS
