I won the colt's purse at Bladenburg of twenty guineas; I won a fifty guinea purse at Baltimore, a fifty guinea purse at Annapolis and a fifty guinea purse at Hagerstown. I never lost a race but the last I ran at Alexandria, which was owing to my being badly shod, as I lost all my plates before I got in. I am in fine plight, found in every respect; my offspring are in great repute, some of which are now in training for the turf—procure me good stands and entertainment and I am able to earn one thousand dollars per annum.

VINES. To the Gentlemen of Philadelphia.
AMONGST fruit trees, the superiority of the vine is universally acknowledged, and the reason why there are so few, and why those few bear so little fruit, is, that the plants are not properly cultivated. That part of the culture of the vine which requires most experience and most care, is the pruning, for which the season is now arrived. The subscriber, who has to remain some days in the city, will with pleasure prune the vines (gratis) of any gentleman who will accept of his services, and who will send his address to him at Mr. Moureaux's, No. 27, Sugar alley.—His long experience in the culture of the vine, and the extraordinary success of his vineyard at SPRING MILL, must be imagined, be a sufficient assurance, that this inestimable plant can never suffer under his hands. LEWIS JOCKEY. Philadelphia. 20th March, 1799.
P. S. Mr Jockey requests the several printers to give the above a place in their gazettes; and, though its insertion can tend to the benefit of their customers alone, he will look upon it as a favour, which he shall be happy to repay by a bottle of his old American Wine, if they will honor him with a visit at Spring Mill, 13 miles from Philadelphia, on the Ridge Road.
Foreign Intelligence. FROM A LONDON PAPER.
FERDINAND KING OF NAPLES.
Nothing can be more disrespectful and contemptuous than the manner in which most of the late Italian writers speak of the present king of Naples. If we may believe them, his tutors early instilled into him an eager fondness for hunting, fishing, &c. amusements in which he is still known to indulge with a marked predilection.—The king of Naples is of a lively disposition, and was still more so in his early youth: his governor was studious to discover new modes of recreation for him, and at the same time to repress in him a too great propensity to mildness and facility, which were the predominant ingredients in his character. St. Nicandre did not forget that one of the most favorite amusements of the prince of Asturias, now king of Spain, was to tear off the skin of rabbits; but his pupil he instigated to the pleasure of killing them. The young king posed himself in a narrow pass, towards which these miserable creatures were driven, and there, armed with a club proportioned to his strength, he fell upon and killed them, expressing his joy in loud peals of laughter. In order to give variety to this humane diversion, he took rabbits, dogs, cats, and diverted himself with tolling them in blankets till they expired. His passion for this amusement ripened into the desire of treating human beings in the same manner, an amusement of which his governor highly approved, as of the most reasonable kind. Peasants, soldiers, mechanics, and even the nobility and gentry thus became the sport and playthings of this sceptered child.
Such is the plan upon which Ferdinand IV. was brought up; nor was he troubled with so much as learning to read and write. His wife was his first school-mistress; an education of this description could not fail of forming a bad king. The Neapolitans expected no better, but future events demonstrated the folly of those conjectures. The prevailing influence of a good disposition triumphed over the errors of this vicious education. He came, after a time, to execute the cruelties which he perpetrated, in his infancy; and he afterwards proved, on a variety of occasions, that he was not destitute either of the good qualities of the heart or the understanding. He might have approved himself a good prince, had he succeeded in correcting himself of his inordinate passion for hunting and fishing, which engrossed those precious moments which might have been employed in pursuits that tend to the public good.
Among the various anecdotes to which Ferdinand's passion for hunting has given birth, there is one which it is proper to record, because it manifests the suavity of his disposition, and the goodness of his heart:—a poor, disconsolate woman happened to fall in with him in a forest; she was unacquainted with his person, and the appeared to be deeply afflicted. The king enquired into her situation. She informed him that she had seven children. She informed him that she had lately lost her husband, and that the little pittance had lately been laid waste by the king's hounds.—"How cruel is it (continued the widow) to have for a king a hunter, whose amusements bring such a flood of tears from the eyes of his subjects; why does this drollish simpleton come and lay waste my farm?"
Ferdinand replied that his amusements were justifiable, and that, as he belonged to his majesty's service, he would not fail to acquaint him with the complaint, without, however, insisting on the appropriate terms with which it was accompanied. "Tell every thing you can (repl.) the undaunted widow) it is all the same to me, for I expect no redress at his hands." The king accompanied her as far as her cabin: being desirous to examine the mischief and injury he had occasioned, he got an estimate made of it by two neighbouring peasants who were as little acquainted with his person as the widow. He then drew from his purse the whole of what money he had about him; he rewarded the arbitrators, and gave the remainder to the widow, who was also indemnified far beyond any damage of which she had complained.
It is doubtless under the pressure of extraordinary circumstances and of sudden emergencies, that the human character fully unfolds and manifests itself. On being informed of the disastrous fate of Calabria, Ferdinand was laid prostrate and confounded, and that to such a pitch, that he was for a time unable to utter a single word. "Good God!" said he, after a long silence and a passion of tears!—"Good God! Messina is then destroyed, and Calabria almost completely and entirely ruined!" He then reclined himself upon a bed, where he remained for near two hours in extreme agitation. The Queen, on her return from an excursion of pleasure, went into his apartment, and ridiculed and scoffed the cause of his uneasiness. She told him that he was nothing better than a child, a mere child, a man without any energy of character. What then, said she, is the cause of this deep despair? Does our existence depend upon the fate of Messina or Calabria? The King made no reply, but sent for the whole of his ministers—spoke to each in particular, and gave the most positive orders that every assistance should be given to the unfortunate persons whose lives had been spared. He then retired to his private apartment, where he shut himself up, and continued for twenty-four hours in the deepest agonies of grief, nor did he afford admittance to any person until the news of the arrival of fresh couriers were announced to him.
The details contained in these dispatches were of a most painful nature. The king fell into a real delirium; he continued much agitated, and walked up and down the apartment, uttering sobs and groans of despair. The queen again made her appearance; and asked him—"What then would
be your sorrow should you have lost one of your children?" Ferdinand hereupon was retooed to his reason, and turning himself towards her with majestic dignity, fixed an eye upon her that witnessed high indignation: "Know," said he, "that I would have more quietly sustained the loss of my whole family than that of one of my provinces. Are not the many thousand men who have perished my children likewise?" Upon this answer, so truly worthy of a King, the Queen withdrew.— "Ah!" continued Ferdinand, "with what pleasure would I not redeem the lives of my unfortunate Calabrians and Messinians, even at the loss of my whole family. Who is the cruel and barbarous Prince who could hesitate a moment in sacrificing six of his children, in order to save the lives of an hundred thousand faithful subjects?"
The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA,
MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 1.
Yesterday morning arrived the Ann, Capt. Longhead, with the Charleston mail. Capt. Longhead, left Charleston the 28th ult. and has politely handed us papers to that date inclusive. The following are the most important of their contents.
CHARLESTON, March 18. From a gentleman who came passenger in the Elizah, from Cadiz, we have received information, that previous to her departure two mails had arrived at Cadiz, from Madrid: accounts by the first stated, that the court of Madrid had refused to grant permission to an army of the French Republic to pass through Spain, to attack Portugal; but the last mail stated, that the French ambassador had delivered in a note, in which he said, that if the demand he had made was not complied with, he had directions to leave Madrid; in consequence of this, the permission was granted. It was expected that gen. Perignon would command the army against Portugal.
Several actions had taken place on the frontiers of Naples, between the troops of France and Naples, but nothing of a decisive nature. The Russian army had made no progress towards Germany. The German Empire had concluded peace with the French Republic.
Just before the Elizah left Cadiz, a court martial broke up, which had engaged much of the attention of the inhabitants of that city, and of all Spain. Several general officers were charged with having delivered up the fortress of Figueras to France, during the late war between France and Spain. Three of these generals were sentenced to suffer death; several others were broke, & sentenced to long imprisonments. One of the generals sentenced to die, is a general O'Neal, an Irishman, who was highly respected. There was hardly a doubt but that the sentences would be carried into execution, as, on an application made in their favor by the French minister, to the prince of peace, he was authorized, that the Spanish army had so long been in a disorganized state, and discipline had so little been attended to, that it was necessary some examples should be made.
By the arrival from the Havana we learn that accounts had been received there from Spain, which stated, that an attack was to be made on Cuba, by the British, in consequence of which every exertion was making to put the harbour of the Havana in a state of defence; that the duty of 21 per cent. on rice had been taken off, and that article had risen from three to five dollars per hundred.
Yesterday failed from this harbour, the French Cartel brig Romain, for Guadalupe. In this vessel, the four Frenchmen and one woman, who were arrested in the Hamburg brig Minerva, and afterwards were confined in Fort-Pinckney, went passengers. From the circumstance of their being released in this manner, it is probable that the papers which were found concealed, in their possession, did not contain anything of a nature hostile to this country.
Saturday arrived the sloop Sally, Anthony, Havana 9 days; schooner Eleanor, Frew, from Baltimore, in distress, out 21 days, having lost her foremast and bowsprit, bound to Curacoa; schooner Betsey, M'Ilhenny, Wilmington, (N. C.) 7 days; fchr. Relief, Davis, Havana, 9 days.
Yesterday arrived the brig Fanny, Ormond, Havana, 10 days; sloop Betsey, Fitch, Havana, 10 days; schooner Betsey, Chafe, Wilmington, (N. C.) 6 days, in distress, bound to Kingston, (Jam.) sloop Sally, Bannatyne, 10 days; schooner William Burton, Havana, 10 days. The brig Norfolk, Butler, of this port, which was carried into Kingston, Jamaica, by commodore Loring, has arrived at the Havana.
Captain Ormond, on his passage, was brought too by the British frigate Regulus, which took from him his boatswain and two men, one of whom, we are informed was American. March 21.
Yesterday arrived the brig Hannah, Tate, Barbadoes, 35 days; brig Shearwater, Robinson, Nassau, 7 days.
Extract of a letter from captain George Burns, of the letter of marque schooner Amazon, belonging to this port, mounting eight guns, and carrying twelve men, dated at Curacoa, February 6. "I am very sorry to inform you, on the 10th of January, being ten leagues to the eastward of Laguita, I unfortunately fell in with the French privateer Flower of the Sea of eight guns and seventy men. They engaged us, and we fought them five glasses; then they hoisted the bloody flag, and the most of my people at this time were wound-

ed, less or more; and finding it impossible to keep them off any longer, was obliged to strike. The privateer had seven men killed, and nine wounded in the engagement. They carried us in here, landed the cargo, and stripped the vessel of every thing."
NASSAU, (N. P.) Feb. 25. On board the sloop Henry, Cufack, from Africa for this port, captured by the Spanish schooner St. Rosalia, capt. Monese, were two African youths, of about twelve years each, one named John, son of King George, and the other Tom, son of King John Qua Ben, both having extensive domains on the river Gibson. These youths, their fathers had committed to the charge of Capt. Cufack, to be carried to Liverpool and there educated. They were both taken from capt. Cufack to be sold as slaves in force of all his remonstrances—and at Havana he was told by a respectable Spanish merchant, that they would not be delivered up. The owner of the Spanish vessel is Francisco Maria Cuello, who must consign his name to eternal obloquy, should he persist in refusing these unfortunate youths their freedom. A representation on this business, we have reason to expect, will be made to the Governor of Cuba.
A vessel which arrived this day from Havana, brings information of intelligence being received there, of Minorca having surrendered to the British arms; of three British ships of war being driven ashore near Cadiz, in a violent storm; and of the royal standard being erected in various parts of France.
BOSTON, March 25. On Saturday morning the President of the United States, arrived in town from the seat of government. He came on as far as Hartford in his private carriage, when his horse failing, occasioned by the extreme badness of the roads, he took the Mail Stage. The President was in town only about half an hour, during which time he was waited upon by a number of respectable citizens. The fatigue of his journey, and the renewed indisposition of his amiable lady prevented his gratifying his fellow citizens by receiving those public testimonials of respect and veneration which had been contemplated for the occasion; and induced him, thus suddenly to set out for his seat at Quincy in the same carriage in which he arrived. Capt. Amory's troop of Horse, were in readiness to have escorted him if his approach had been known, or the length of his visit, had possibly admitted of their collecting.
It must be highly gratifying to every liberal mind, to see the First Magistrate of a great nation, when convenience requires it, relinquish every appearance of distinction, and travel through the country as a private gentleman. Plainness and simplicity are the accompaniments of true greatness, and in our illustrious President, are eminently displayed, the result of unaffected goodness. We sincerely hope that his official cares will allow of his passing the summer, in his native state, and that his residence here may contribute to his health and domestic happiness; and we ardently pray that his invaluable life may be long preserved—that his usefulness may be continued—that his country may be prosperous, happy and grateful under his administration—and when the sovereign Disposer shall call him from this mortal state, the transition may be easy, and the change inexpressibly advantageous.
LISBON NEWS. There is a report received at Salem, by Captain Phillips, via Salem, that the French have captured Naples. We hope, and at present believe, it is only a report.

When a man placed in a conspicuous station, whether I have been recommended to that station by his villainies or not, has the audacity to threaten another with hiring a bravo to assassinate him, and having threatened, publishes with studied ostentation such a threat, in all companies where he goes, is justly chargeable with any act of violence that ensues.
But when he points out as the signal for his vengeance, this way, the first subsequent personal attack that is made upon him, and when the consequence of that first subsequent attack, is the assassination of its author, there is something more than presumptive evidence in these. I do not hesitate to declare that in the author of the attack upon Mr. Bown. He may not, indeed, have gone directly to work about the thing; he may not have laid down the cast in the hands of the murderers, (though I blast me, if I think I think him to good to do it) but he effectively suborned them, countenanced them, encouraged them, and by his station, assured them of impunity. He struck every blow that fell on Mr. Bown; and like a detestable coward at knave, laughs at this hour in serenity and security, behind that curtain, which, notwithstanding all his juggleries, shall cover him but for an appointed time. Justice shall revisit the earth; drunkards, gamblers, dards, tyrants, thieves and bar-lequins, (allowed for wild ends to revel in dignities and power, yet a season) shall tremble at his frowns; and many a democratic knave, that ermin'd on the wages of his treasons, ad on the spoils wrung from the heart of bleeding honesty, dashes his burnished chaot round the indignant town, may yet snatch his course to that ignominious end which must await such unnatural crimes.

NAVY DEPARTMENT, 25th March, 1799.
SIR, IT affords me much satisfaction to find from the evidence of your officers, that the news-paper paragraph, so injurious to your reputation, is a gross mis-representation of the circumstance to which it alludes. As you have been so long absent in the West-Indies, your request for permission to attend to your private affairs for two months is thought reasonable. You will therefore consider this, as your leave of absence for that time, provided it should not be found necessary to call you sooner into service. I have the honor to be, Sir your most obedient servant, BEN. STODDERT. Captain Thomas Williams.

THOMAS PARKER, President Pro. Tem. of the Common Council. FRANCIS GURNEY, President of the Select Council. Enacted into an Ordinance at Philadelphia, the thir- (L.S.C.) tieth day of March, in the year 1799.
Both houses of the legislature of this state, have agreed to a bill for the removal of the seat of government of the state of Pennsylvania, to the borough of Lancaster, until a permanent seat can be fixed on. By this act, commissioners are appointed to prepare buildings for the reception of the legislature whose next session is to be held there, and all offices attached to the government are to be removed there on or before the first of November next. The governor has not given his assent as yet.
Extract of a letter from an officer on board the United States ship Constellation, to his friend in this city, dated BASSATARR, 4th March.
"We are informed, that it is our commander's determination when we sail, which will be in a few days, both ships being for sea, only a few men wanting for the insurgents, to stretch under Guadalupe in order that General Desfournaux may have the pleasure of seeing that ship under the colors of the United States of America, before the road of Baffatere, the capital of the island."
Yesterday arrived the brig Angelica, Capt. Robinson, from Lisbon. Capt. Robinson left Lisbon the 13th February. In this vessel came Mr. Tazewell, late Secretary to Mr. Gerry. This gentleman was taken on his passage home in the ship Pacific, bound to Charleston, and carried into Vigo (Spain) from whence he went to Lisbon. The day before he left there, a Spanish mail arrived, bringing accounts that the king of Naples had removed his family to Palermo for safety, and intended returning again to head his army. This, it is supposed, gave rise to a report at Lisbon, that Naples had been taken, and the royal family had fled; but it received very little credit. Another report was, that the king of Naples had left the army to remove his family to Palermo, that, in the interim, a battle had taken place in the neighborhood of Rome, between the French and Neapolitan armies, in which the latter had had experienced a partial defeat, and both were intrenched waiting for reinforcements, when the king returned, who immediately ordered his principal engineer to be shot, and disgraced a great number of his principal officers. But our informant adds that the reports at Lisbon were so various and contradictory that very little credit can be attached to any of them, except that of the removal of the Royal Family. No authentic accounts respecting the operations either in Egypt or Italy, were known in Lisbon, when the Angelica failed.
