The Celebrated Warm Springs IN VIRGINIA. THE subscribers have taken a lease of ten years, of the highly celebrated ORIGINAL SPRINGS in the county of Bath, called the Warm Springs, so justly famed for their great cures & general relief in many complaints. They are now preparing every necessary comfort and accommodation to suit the amusements of those who have health (and to promote the recovery of those who want it,) and it is deemed necessary to make these things widely known, because complaints have heretofore been made against the entertainment which has been offered. Preparations are made for at least one hundred constant boarders, besides transient guests, for the accommodation of which, the subscribers will make all possible exertions; and they flatter themselves, that those who may place confidence in this advertisement, will not find the smallest cause for regret or complaint. Robert & George Turner. March 28, 1805.
RUN away from the subscriber about the 13th January last, a negro man named ADAM , about 23 years of age, of a dark complexion, about 6 feet high, has a small scar on his forehead; had on when he went away an ozanburgs shirt, short coat and pantalettes of blue plains, and common felt hat; he had sundry other clothing which it is supposed he carried with him, as they have not been seen since he escaped. He was purchased of Mr. Gabriel Tutt near Culpeper courthouse, by Mr. John Mullins, about 18 months past, of whom the subscriber purchased immediately afterwards; the said fellow has a wife at Dr. Claggett's, who resides at Culpeper courthouse; it is probable he may be harboured by his wife at this place. Whoever will deliver the said fellow to the subscriber living in Albemarle county near Charlottesville, shall receive a reward of Thirty Dollars, or if secured in any jail so that I get him again Twenty Dollars. JOHN CLARKSON. 23d Feb. 1805.
PRECIPITATE, IMPORTED by Mr. Lightfoot of Sandy Point, last winter, full 15 hands and a half high; will stand at my stable in Chesterfield county, Appomattox river, 15 miles above Petersburg, to be let to mares at ten guineas a mare, two of which will be remitted if paid with in the season, which will commence the 10th of March, & expire the 1st of August next. Board of servants gratis; mares may be fed with grain at two shillings per day. I have large and extensive pastures, divided in five different inclosures, that mares with foals may be kept distinct from barren mares. One dollar to the groom. No liability for accidents of any description. PRECIPITATE was bred by Lord Egremont, foaled in 1787, got by Mercury (a son of Eclipse) dam by Herod, his granddam by Blandford, dam of Mr. Pratt's Old Squirt mare; her dam by Mogul—Camilla by Bay Bolton—Old Lady dam of Sterling by Palleine's chestnut Arabian—Rockwood Bustler. PERFORMANCE. In the first spring meeting, 1790, at New-Market, when 3 years old, he won the first class of the princes stakes of 100 guineas each, beating Thunderbolt, Chanciller, and Sir Pepper, four having paid the forfeit. In the same week he won the Bolton stakes of 50 guineas each, beating Chambeaux, Dragon and Pallafax; 7 paid forfeit. Second spring meeting he won the 3d class of the princes stakes of 100 guineas, beating Thunderbolt; 7 paid forfeit. And in the same week he received 100 guineas forfeit from Lord Grosvenor's Radamantus. In 1792 he won £50 at Guildfield, beating Doge, Thunderbolt, Sarsaparilla and Stout; the next day £50 at the same place, beating Cardock and Griffin. He also won the king's 100 guineas, at Lewis, beating Skyscraper at 3 hands, the 1st being a dead heat. After which he was so highly esteemed that he became a stallion in his Lordship's stud at 12 guineas a mare. This horse is the sire of the following running horses in England: Johnquill, Petworth, Matrana, Rosalba, Chesnut colt out of Bohail, Chesnut colt out of Rosemary, Humburg, Lazarus, Ragimier, Apollo, Gulliver, Tag, Louisa, Tipstaff, Mr. Heathcote's filly out of Reeves, Alchymist, Clodhopper, Grey filly by R. H. Lampadusa, Mare, Mary, Matrana, Bay filly by Brown's, Grey filly by Radcliff's, Tax, Tipstaff and Bohail. Feb. 20, 1805. THOMAS GOODE.
FROM SOUTH AMERICA. THE BEAUTIFUL SPANISH HORSE, APPALUSIA. WILL stand the ensuing season, at my plantation on Chickahominy, near the new bridges, and will be let to mares at the moderate price of ten dollars the season, payable the first of Oct. next, but notes (to be sent with the mare) may be discharged by paying eight dollars on or by the 1st of August, when the season will end. Insurance fifteen dollars (notes sent as above, payable 1st March, 1806.) And four dollars cash the leap. In either case 25 cents to the groom, to be paid down. Mares will be fed with clover and lucerne gratis, and corn if required, at the following price. I have 20 spare stalls in a strong new stable, with substantial locks, where they may be kept of nights, but will not be answerable for escapes. APPALUSIA is lately from South America, about ten years old, 15 hands high, of a beautiful snow white colour, and most elegantly formed. It is unnecessary to point out the great superiority of this excellent breed of horses for the saddle, harness, &c. as it is generally known that they are well gated, gentle, and the most hardy and thrifty horses in the world, and many live to be upwards of 50 years old. APPALUSIA stood in Augusta the season before last, where he proved to be a certain foal getter, and many of his colts would have sold for 200 dollars cash at a day old. A few mares were put to him the last season, (having bought him late) all of which proved with foal. BENJAMIN DUVAL. February 15th, 1805.

WONDER, IMPORTED last fall was 12 months in the ship Monticello; will stand at my stable the ensuing season, and be let to mares at Six Guineas each mare the season, and a Dollar to the groom; but may be discharged with five provided they are paid by the first day of October next. As good pasture as any in Virginia (with separate inclosures for mares and colts) gratis, and the greatest attention shall be paid them, but I will not be answerable for accidents or escapes. PERFORMANCES. In 1796, Wonder, then two years old, won the sweepstakes at York of 50 guineas each, for two years old colts, 8 stons, 7 stone 12 lbs, six subscribers, beating lord A. Hamilton's brother to Rattoo, and Mr. Lowther's b. c. by Diomed, out of Tulip, twenty to one against the winner. In 1797, when 3 years old, carrying 8 stone 7 lbs at Doncaster, he beat Mr. Sitwell's Commodore, 8 stone, the last half mile, for 100 guineas each. The same day he received forfeit from Mr. Baker's g. c. Hap Hazard, 8 st each, 300 guineas each, 2 miles. In 1798, he won the great produce stakes at York of 200 guineas each, 5 subscribers, 4 miles. In 1799, he won the sweepstakes at Stamford, of ten guineas each for all ages, beating Mr. Heathcote's Warter, 8 subscribers, 2 miles. The same year he ran second in a sweepstakes at York, for 20 guineas each, 7 subscribers, 2 miles, beating lord A. Hamilton's colt by Walnut, out of Nun, sir Thomas Gascoigne's Maid of the Mill, and Abraham Newland, now called Cockfighter. In 1800, for the York Orlandos, of fifty guineas each, he ran second to Cockfighter, allowing him seven pounds, beating Mr. Cookson's Sir Harry, eleven subscribers, two miles. The same year, at Doncaster, he beat Sir George Armitage's Tartar, one hundred guineas each, four miles.—The same year, he challenged Mr. Johnson's Sir Solomon, offering five pounds, five hundred guineas each, two miles. WONDER was trained in training in 1801, and has never since started. He was bred by Lord Fitzwilliam, is fifteen hands three inches high, ten years old last spring, full of bone, very handsome, and free from all natural blemishes. He is a dark chestnut, and is unquestionably as fine a horse as was ever imported to this country, and of a good stock—and as a runner he certainly has exhibited well, having beaten Warter, Cockfighter, and Sir Harry, three of the best horses on the English turf. It will be observed that his dam was got by Diomed, and is perhaps as nearly like his grand sire, as it is possible for one horse to be like another. WONDER covered two seasons in England, the first at two and the last at five guineas, which strongly indicates his growing reputation as a foal getter. PEDIGREE. He was got by Phenomenon, out of the dam of Lord Fitzwilliam's Brown Fanny, by Diomed—granddam by Marske, Young Hag, Lalumpha's dam by Skim, Old Hag, Hydra's dam by Crab, Ebony by Childers, out of Old Ebony by Baso—Phenomenon was got by King Herod—his dam Frenzy by Eclipse, her dam by Engineer, granddam by Blank, Lass of the Mill by Traveller Miss Makeless by Young Greyhound, Partner, Woodcock, Croft's Bay Barb, Makeless, Brimmer, Dickey Pierson, son of Dodsworth, Burton Barb mare. Taken from the General Stud Book.

Latest Intelligence.
BOSTON, April 27.
A passenger in the Palmira, Capt. Remington, arrived yesterday from Liverpool, has favored us with London papers to the 13th of March—seven days the latest.
These papers do not contain any events of much interest.
Though there was much talk of negotiations for peace; there were no other indications of it. It was reported that the answer of the Emperor Alexander to the communication by the British King of Bonaparte's overture of peace, had been received in London; but the purport of it had not been communicated. It was certain that treaties of alliance offensive and defensive, were in train of negotiation between Great Britain and Russia, and Sweden; though it was affirmed in the French papers, authoritatively, that an alliance between England and Russia, would not take place; and that Prussia had undertaken to prevent a like treaty between Sweden and Great Britain.
It was the prevailing opinion, that Portugal would not be suffered to remain neutral.
The French had marched a division of troops into Lubeck [one of the free imperial cities] and demanded a heavy loan, at the point of the bayonet; more, it is said, than that city could pay. This is not very corroborative evidence of the boasted exuberance of the French resources, under the new dynasty.
The Emperor, Napoleon I. was, it was said, on the eve of setting out for Italy, accompanied by His Holiness the Pope. Some accounts say, to witness the coronation of his brother Joseph, as King of Lombardy—others, to be crowned King himself.
The accounts received in England from India, are not so late for forty days as those received here.
Messrs. Cox and Rawlins, late sheriffs of Middlesex, had been committed to Newgate, by order of the British Parliament, for illegal and corrupt conduct in the return of a member of Parliament for that county.
Mr. Pitt's tax on horses used in husbandry, had been negatived in parliament by a majority of 3: the duty on salt passed by a large majority.
By the arrival, at this port, of the ship Sally, Capt. Webber, from Liverpool, we have received London papers to the 18th March, 10 days later than our previous dates from that quarter.
The advices, contained in these papers, present nothing new in the aspect of European politics. Communication, and propositions both for peace and war, are continually presenting themselves to the different Cabinets of Europe; but so entangled are the relations, which subsist between the several governments, and so strong the jealousy entertained of each other, that it is found difficult, either to agree on the preliminaries of a pacific system of measures, or to combine the force necessary for a vigorous prosecution of the war against France. During the political interregnum, nothing is left to gratify public curiosity but what is founded on mere rumor and conjecture.
Among other articles of intelligence of this kind, it was reported that the answer of the Emperor Alexander, to the communication by the British King, of Bonaparte's overtures of peace had been received in London; but the purport of it was not known; that insuperable difficulties opposed the formation of an offensive and defensive alliance between Great Britain and Russia, and that Prussia had undertaken to prevent a like treaty between her and Sweden.
Opposed to this it is observed, by one of the most intelligent London prints, that, "the most interesting events seen, now in their progress, and the war, at the present moment, has a chance of becoming active and important."
The secret Expedition, was stated to be in readiness, and would sail on the 21st March.
LONDON, March 18.
We have received Paris papers to the 9th. The session of the Legislative Body was put an end to the 6th, by a speech from one of the government orators, M. De Ségur. He expressed the Emperor's complete approbation of their conduct; dwelt upon the imposing ceremony of the coronation, rendered more august by the presence and participation of the Pope; alluded to the laws that had been passed during the session; to the excellent state of the finances; to the new conscription, and to the pacific overture to this country. Upon the conscript law he made the following remarks—"Whilst among our enemy every thing is in a state of lamentation and agitation, you have proved by a law upon the conscription that we do not stand in need of fresh efforts, and this new law differs only from the last, by a more just and moderate distribution relative to our coasts and maritime departments." Upon the pacific overture, he said, "it was at the moment in which a warrior, almost always favored by fortune, might so naturally have promised to himself from fresh laurels, that silencing his passions, Napoleon modestly proposed peace to our enemies. If blood must flow upon the earth and sea, his latter forever absolves us, and throws all the responsibility upon that blind government, which would prolong the effusion of it." M. De Ségur proceeded to state, that the Emperor's constant endeavors were to give repose to his
country, independence to the seas and peace to the world.
The Moniteur has not published any further details with respect to the capture of the Mediterranean convoy, and it does not appear that one of the captured ships has yet reached a French port; indeed we now know that the enemy exaggerated the numbers, and our prediction, that many would be found to have made their escape, has been verified.
The anger manifested by the Moniteur at the cool reception which Bonaparte's fallacious overture of peace experienced in the country, and the fear which it expresses, lest an English subsidy should be accepted by any of the continental powers, afford the best possible explanation of the state, and of the views of the French Government. They are worth volumes of idle reports from ill-informed travellers. They shew at once that France is completely baffled in her views of subjugating this country, and even more, that "England, single handed," is more than a match for her: they shew the changeable and shifting politics of the Usurper, that when he could not compass his end by open force, he endeavored to do it by fraud; by an offer of peace, or rather a truce, which would induce us to disarm, and leave ourselves exposed to fresh manoeuvres. They confirm the wisdom of the late Ministry in commencing the war, before our enemy had completed his preparations, and of the present, in declining to be duped by a pretended pacific overture.
THE TOULON FLEET.
Of the Toulon fleet, the Paris official paper states, that it sailed from that port, the 15th Jan. 1805, with a large body of troops under Gen. Lauriston, and that after being at sea, four days, was overtaken by a violent storm, and obliged to return into port. The account of the capture of the British sloop of war Arrow, and the Acheron bomb, with about twenty sail of the Malta homeward-bound fleet, by two frigates which parted in the gale, is confirmed. The Arrow fought L'Incorruptible, of 44 guns, an hour and a quarter, had 57 men killed and wounded; and sunk immediately after the action. Her vigorous resistance effected the escape of ten or twelve of her convoy. All the rest taken were destroyed; and the English prisoners landed at Carthagena. It was conjectured the Toulon fleet was bound to Egypt. Lord Nelson, who was cruising off Sardinia, with 12 sail of the line, had immediate intelligence of the sailing of the Toulon fleet; and was in full pursuit, when it returned into port.
MARCH 15.—An American ship from the Texel, which arrived in Dover Roads yesterday afternoon, has brought the important intelligence of the sailing of the Dutch fleet from the Texel on Monday last. Previously to their sailing an embargo was laid on all merchantmen. It still continued after the fleet sailed; but the American and five other ships made their escape in the night.
MARCH 18.—By the Fly cutter, which arrived at Yarmouth, on Friday last from the Texel, which place she left on Thursday, the Dutch fleet had made its first movement, two line of battle ships belonging to it having come down in the outer roads. This circumstance, no doubt, gave rise to the report brought by an American ship which put into Dover, that the Dutch squadron had actually put to sea.
Sweden has been obliged by the remonstrances of Prussia, to decline the proffered subsidy from this country.
Portugal is stated to have purchased, with the concurrence of this country, the suffrance of France to remain neutral in the war, by a yearly subsidy of six millions of crusades.
Such was the activity of the Marine Department in Spain that 12 ships of the line were completed for sea during the last month, and an equal number are to be equipped within the present month.
The Courts of Vienna and Petersburg are decidedly hostile to the intended creation of a Monarchy in Lombardy. Austria has remonstrated in strong terms against the change, as being contrary to the stipulations of the treaty of Luneville, and we understand it is for the present deferred. Prussia has on the contrary, recommended the measure, as tending to establish the tranquillity of that country, and as barring any views or claims which Austria may entertain in regard to it.
The French papers in an article which we published on Tuesday, stated that the French government would not undertake partial operations, but would strike several blows at us at once.
What will the enemy of the financial system of this country say, when we state, that, by the beneficial operation of the Sinking Fund, no less a sum than 1,698,926 13s. 4d. is at present applied per quarter to the reduction of the national debt, and that the sum already redeemed amounts to 113,523,393 1s. sterling.
The Emperor of France is about to visit Italy accompanied by the Pope.
The Sheriffs of Middlesex have been committed to Newgate, for illegal and corrupt conduct in the late election.
BASSETTERRE, (St. Kitts,) March 22.
By a vessel from Barbadoes, we learn of the arrival of two transports with troops, at that island.
We also learn that two of the Cork fleet have been carried into Guadalupe; where, we understand, intelligence had been received that Admiral Cochrane had arrived at Barbadoes, with seven sail of the line.
April.
We are happy in being enabled to congratulate the public, and the inhabitants of the British West Indies in general, on the arrival of our much wished for reinforcement, under the command of Rear Admiral Cochrane, and the consequent annihilation of the short lived superiority of the enemy in these seas:—The inhabitants of this island were seriously alarmed yesterday morning on the appearance of several ships of war to the southward, which, not having communicated with the shore, created a suspicion, that they were the enemy. The militia assembled soon after the alarm was raised, and as the ships seemed to stand towards the garrison of Brimstone-Hill, they immediately prepared to proceed thither, and were actually on the way, when the cause of the alarm was made known by Capt. Jennings, of the Blanch privateer, who went from Nevis on board one of them, the Unicorn frigate, and was informed, that the squadron was that of Admiral Cochrane, consisting of six sail of the line, and three frigates. Expresses were immediately sent after the militia with the above pleasing intelligence, when they returned to town. The squadron continued under a press of sail to the westward, in which direction four ships were seen from Brimstone-Hill, which it was supposed they were in chase of. The four ships here mentioned, are supposed to be armed merchantmen homeward bound from Demerara, as one which arrived here yesterday evening from that colony, for a load, sailed in company with four others homeward bound.
We have not learnt the names of all the ships of the above squadron, but the following are among them:—
  St. George, 98 guns.   Northumberland, 74   Eagle, 74   Unicorn, 32 
We have the pleasure of adding that the above squadron is only a part of the reinforcement which arrived at Barbadoes, an equal force remaining at that island.
APRIL 2.—A letter from St. Bartholomews to a gentleman in this island, mentions the arrival there of a vessel from Martinique, the captain of which, an intelligent man, gave the following account—"An express had arrived from France, which says, that a war with that nation and America is inevitable. Bonaparte has officially demanded 30,000,000 of dollars, the amount of Coffee, &c. carried from St. Domingo to the continent." The St. Bartholomews paper of Saturday last mentions the above intelligence as a report, with the addition that a similar demand will be made on the Danish islands by the French commanders in a few days.
It is known that the French squadron sailed from Martinique the 22d March; various accounts have been in circulation as to their destination—but almost all agree that they are gone to leeward.
AMHERST, (N. H.) April 23.
SHOCKING.—A circumstance, shocking to the feelings of nature, was mentioned to us last evening, just as our paper was going to press. We cannot relate particulars. Dr. Lawrence, of Pepperell, informs us, that in passing thro' Holles yesterday, he was called into the house of the widow Kendrick, whom he found dead on the floor, her head beaten to pieces, and then weltering in her blood; her daughter lay beside her, who, though not dead, was senseless, and he thinks there is not much hopes of her recovery. We understand the horrid deed was perpetrated by a son of the old lady, in a fit of insanity, who, with his mother and sister, constituted the family.—Yesterday afternoon a coroner's inquest was called.
NEW-YORK, April 29.
The following interesting though melancholy information, we yesterday received from a friend in Boston.
BOSTON, April 25.
LOSS OF THE SHIP JUPITER, OF NEW YORK. It is seldom we have to record a more melancholy relation than that which follows, of the loss of the ship Jupiter of New-York, of 350 tons, laden with bale goods, &c. one of the regular traders between that city and London. The persons preserved in the yawl have arrived in town.
Marblehead, April 24, 1805
Arrived this day, the schr. Joanna, capt. Henry Quiner, having picked up on the eastern part of the Grand Bank of Newfoundland, the yawl of the ship Jupiter, late of N. York, with the captain, one seaman, and five passengers, which ship was foundered by the ice at 12 o'clock on the night of the 6th instant, on her passage from London to New-York, having on board 73 souls, 27 of whom were lost in the ship, 33 including the second mate and remainder of the crew, took to the long-boat, which parted company from the yawl, on Monday the 8th, in heavy squalls, after having left the ice that morning.
The following particulars of the loss of the Jupiter, are communicated to us by capt. Law:—Sailed in the ship Jupiter from the Downs for New York, March 6th. Nothing remarkable occurred, excepting frequent gales and bad weather, until April 6th, being then in lat. 44, 20, lon. by account, 49, at 8 o'clock in the morning saw a great number of pieces of broken ice which was passed in about three hours, when we supposed ourselves clear, steering W. by N. wind fresh, and foggy, moderate weather, at 2 P. M. began to discover islands of ice, and by 3 o'clock saw a large field ahead which appeared to have no opening, then wore ship and kept off to the S. and E. continually passing small islands, until 5 P. M. when we found the ice extending so far to the North and South, that we could not clear it, hove about and stretched to the North among broken ice until night came on and no prospect of getting clear, hove too under double reefed topsails, in hopes to have sufficient drift to keep clear of the fields to leeward until day light, but found, at 11, that we were drifting fast on a large island, was obliged to wear ship and haul to the southward, under easy sail, luffing and bearing away for the broken ice, as occasion required, until 12, when we struck upon a small piece which penetrated through the starboard bow: immediately rigged both pumps, and the boats out: 33 men, women and children got into the long-boat, and 8 in the yawl, and put off from the ship, which went down in about half an hour from the time she struck, having on board at the time the boats left her, twenty-
seven souls, who perished with the ship: we then shaped our course to the westward, continually relieving the oars, and with difficulty finding a passage for the boats thro' the fields of ice which we were passing during the remainder of that night, the next day and night, until about 12 o'clock on Monday, A. M. having gone about 100 miles WSW from the time of leaving the ship; at 12, finding after we had cleared the ice, a rough sea beginning to make, so that the yawl was unsafe in tow, and they not being willing to increase their number in the long-boat, requested them to cut us adrift, when they immediately left us steering north, with a sail set, and a fresh breeze from the southward; our situation was now such, that we were obliged to keep before the wind, it being very squally with heavy rain, and the yawl being so deeply laden as to make us apprehensive that she would immediately fill. About sunset the wind abated, and the sea moderated, so that we were enabled to pull to the westward, which we did from 7 o'clock, until 8 A. M. on Tuesday, the 9th, when we had the happiness to discover a sail which we found to be the schr. Joanna, captain Quiner, who humanely received us on board, and paid us every attention which was in his power, and which our situation after suffering much from fatigue and being considerably injured by frost, rendered necessary for the preservation of our lives.
When we parted company with the long boat, they had plenty of provisions on board, and strong hopes are entertained that they were so fortunate as to meet with a vessel shortly after, there being several at no great distance to the westward, or that they would be able to reach some port in Newfoundland.
Names of persons saved in the yawl.
Richard Law, jun. of New-York, captain; Elias Sturtevant, of do. 1st mate; George Pierson, of do. seaman; hon. Robert Kennedy, James B. Temple, John Tappan, of Boston; James Ilberry, of London, cabin passenger; Thomas Trice, steerage passenger.
Names of those lost in the long boat at sea.
Gilbert L. E. Smiesseart, of Amsterdam, cabin passenger; Mr. Ashley, wife and three daughters; Mr. Medcalf, wife and infant; Mr. Merritt, wife and apprentice boy; James Trice and mother; Isaac Paine, wife and child; George Slowman, Rachel Luff, Eleanor Wood, Mr. Mitchell and wife, James Williams, Mr. Temple's servant, two Germans, (names unknown), Thos. Williams, 2d mate, and eleven of the crew; one unknown steerage passenger.
Names of those lost in the ship.
Mrs. and Miss Merritt; Mr. Breach, wife, and two children; Mr. Giles, wife, and seven children; Mrs. Grange; Mrs. Leete and four children; David Brant and two sons; three persons (names unknown,) steerage passengers.
April 30.
It will be seen by turning to the marine head, that on the 6th inst. the French squadron, lately in the West Indies, were on their return to France. Having landed 400 troops at Martinique, they went to the City of St. Domingo, where they left the remainder, and immediately proceeded on their return home.
We learn by the brig Vidoni from Martinique, that a French frigate had just arrived there with dispatches, and with advices of a fleet of 22 sail of men of war having sailed from France for the West Indies, but that most of them had put back in a gale. This fleet must have been that from Toulon, the particulars of whose fate we have been advised of thro' the French papers. The destination of the Toulon fleet was not before known; but it now appears they were bound to the West Indies. They will now most probably be kept in port by the British blockading squadron.
May 2.
The ship Enterprise, captain Robert Thompson, bound from this port to Bordeaux, having experienced a severe thunder storm in the month of February, by which her mainmast was considerably injured, made the best of her way to Cadiz, where she arrived on the 3d or 4th of March, and was ordered to perform a quarantine of twenty days. A letter dated the 10th of March, written by a passenger on board to his friend in this city, received via New-Bedford, contains this passage: "The coronation of the Emperor NAPOLEON has been succeeded by that of his brother JOSEPH in Holland."
A letter from a respectable commercial house in Cadiz to another in this city, via New-Bedford, dated March 12th, has the following Postscript:—"The celebrated General Moreau, with his lady and family, now in this place, will proceed to the United States by the first good opportunity. As he may probably visit your city, we shall take the liberty of giving him a letter to you. Being unacquainted in America, he has requested to be the bearer of a few letters to our friends; and we could not refuse such a favor to a person of his exalted merit."
Mavius, the first Bishop of Lausanne, speaking of the small-pox, variola, in the annals of his own time, observes, that it principally attacked horned cattle. This was in the year 570; and it does not appear to have attacked mankind till the year afterwards, namely 571. It will turn out very singular, if the same animal which first had this disease, should furnish man with the best preventative of this dreadful malady.
This singularity has now been demonstrated to the world—and there is also the strongest probability, that the Cow-Pox is, in fact, the Small-Pox; only, having undergone some curious and wonderful modifications by passing through the system of the cow.
PHILADELPHIA, May 3.
CHEVALIER DE FORONDA,
Consul General from His Catholic Majesty to the United States, informs the public, that his minister plenipotentiary MARQUIS DE CASA YRUJO, has received official advice, that orders have been given by the English government to their vessels of war and privateers, not to molest any neutral vessel or vessels, bound to Spain with grain or flour.
Captain Jones, of the schooner General Greene, arrived yesterday morning in ten days from Cape Francois, informs, that a part of Dessaline's army had returned from the city of St. Domingo—they had made an attack on it, but were repulsed.
A letter from Tripoli says, "the attack of Commodore Preble has not contributed to render more unpleasant the situation of the American prisoners of war. They have a house within the castle; whatever, if it can be procured, I send them. The officers lately obtained permission to walk in the country, and to the baths in the town. I hope that during the winter season (the best part of the year in Barbary) they will obtain more liberty."
FROM FRANCE.
Yesterday afternoon, arrived the brig Lovely Lass, capt. Clark, in 44 days from Nantz. By this vessel we have received the Paris Argus (printed in English) and the Moniteur to the middle of March. They however furnish very little information, in any respect new or interesting. It appears that Bonaparte, pursuing the grand plan of aggrandizing and ennobling the members of his family, was preparing to leave Paris, for Milan, to attend the coronation of his Brother Joseph, as King of Lombardy.
We lately had an account, by way of New-York, which was deemed not only improbable, but chimerical. We allude to the report of Bonaparte's intending to require of the government of the United States, indemnity for the property carried by our citizens from St. Domingo—property belonging to French subjects.
By a gentleman passenger in the Lovely Lass, we are informed of an act of the French government which renders this account by no means improbable. Bonaparte, it appears, in the midst of his higher concerns, has not been unmindful of the unfortunate exiles from St. Domingo. A decree has been issued by him, declaring that every subject, formerly residing in that colony, who may have been exiled from his home and property by the brigands, shall be allowed from the national treasury 300 livers per year, every married man 500, and for each child 100. That this provision could have been made without an eye to the ultimate recovery of the property sacrificed by the brigands is incredible; and surely Bonaparte will not apply for remuneration to the blacks. The gentleman has a copy of the decree; but has not been able immediately to lay his hand upon it.
The report of a decree, annulling the marriage of Jerome Bonaparte, has also been deemed a fiction in this country. We, however, find in the Moniteur of the 1st March, the official document to this effect. It differs from that we have already published only in the concluding words, which are, "without the consent of his mother, and without the banns thereof being previously published in the place of his abode." (Phil. Gaz.)
BALTIMORE, May 6.
Captain Sherry, of the brig Aristides, arrived at New-York, in 19 days from Point-Petre, Guad. states that a large ship, with only her lower mast standing, was towed in the day he sailed. The report was that her name was the CANTON or BALTIMORE, from India, with coffee; that she had been drove off the coast of America, lost most of her men and abandoned by the rest, and much disabled. She was afterwards fallen in with by an English sloop of war, having no person on board, who took from on board a considerable quantity of coffee and manned her. She was again fallen in with by a French privateer, taken possession of, and arrived safe in port. The French government will sell the ship and cargo for the benefit of the owners or underwriters, deducting from the sales a salvage for the privateer. Respecting the ship and circumstances, time will ascertain the facts.
NORFOLK, May 7.
Gun-boats Nos. 5 and 10, have arrived here, and are immediately to sail in company with Gun-boat No. 4, for the Mediterranean.
FREDERICKSBURG, May 7.
During the present session of the District Court in this town, the following persons have been arraigned as criminals.
Richard Pearl, from Stafford, for larceny, sentenced to one years confinement in the Penitentiary.
Alexander Burke, from Culpeper, for murder, acquitted.
Azariah Lansley, from Spotsylvania, for negro stealing, sentenced to seven years confinement in the Penitentiary.
Robert Campbell, from Culpeper, for horse stealing, sentenced to five years confinement in the Penitentiary.
Allen Jones, from Stafford, for murder, sentenced to 6 months confinement in the Penitentiary; but recommended to the mercy of the court.
William Stratton, from Spotsylvania, for the murder of his father—acquitted.
Richard Pitcher, from Stafford, for rape,—sentenced for thirteen years and nine months confinement in the Penitentiary.
THE administration of the estate of Capt. JOHN HICKS, dec. having been referred to the Sheriff of Hanover county—all persons concerned are requested to exhibit their claims to the next court to be held for the said county, in order that they may receive their respective proportion of the assets in hand. By order of the court.
WILLIAM O. WINSTON,
Late Sheriff of Hanover county. 7th May, 1805.

PORTRAIT OF GARROW.
(BY MR. AUSTIN.)
Garrow is not a lawyer, nor is he, in the extensive sense of the word, an orator; yet not less extraordinary than Erskine or Gibbs.
His person is respectable, rather raw-boned; his face is a square flat; his complexion a dry, brown red; his forehead high, which appears higher through a total defect of eye-brows; his chin is triangular, and a little prominent.
Garrow, the son of a country clergyman, was considered in his childhood, a dead weight on society. Until the age of thirteen, he was a cow-boy; and, at that age, his intellect, promised nothing. His father sent him, about that period at a venture, to London. What occupation he followed I know not; but he found his way, at length, to the nightly debating societies, at which he soon discovered a wonderful readiness in reply, and a copious flow of original matter, which his want of education rendered all his own.
He entered on the study of the law, I suppose under unfavorable circumstances, for he commenced at the Old Bailey. Hence, if human nature wore but one aspect, Garrow would naturally paint it black. Most men, in the profession of law, if they have ability, attain eminence by degrees. A lawyer never appears full grown at once, like an air balloon, or a new created lord. He is obliged to arrive at certainty through the labyrinth of uncertainty. Garrow, though he became famous, soon as he showed himself, did not depend on his acquisitions for celebrity. As a counsellor for felons at the Old Bailey, he was necessarily a spectator of human depravity, from its first moment of tax principle to the last degree of abandoned practice. The criminal code of law, in this country, is so disproportioned, so barbarous, so unnatural, that Garrow might frequently deem it a matter of principle to save the guilty. Hence, the more desperate the situation of the felon, the more severely would he tax his ingenuity.
Garrow, while at the Old Bailey, was an impediment in the way of justice. The only remedy was to make him a king's counsellor. This placed him, at once, beside Erskine, Gibbs, Dallas and Park, in the king's bench. The sagacity which distinguished him, in criminal cases, followed him to the more ample field of litigation. There, amidst the intricacies of self interest, fraud and cunning, he divests the cause of every assumed colour, or, as readily, extricates suffering innocence from the fangs of the oppressor. His wonderful knowledge of human nature is only equalled, by his facility of entering into the feelings, views, and conduct of mankind, under all circumstances. He is a perfect master of the doctrine of the probabilities of human conduct, while the variety of causes which Guildhall affords, gives him an extensive view, broad as the relations of society. He is a metaphysician, and what is more, knows how to reduce his metaphysics to common sense, and to the purposes of common life. No casuist could enter more sagaciously into the theory of the will, motives, necessity, &c. & palpably distinguish between the necessary, the indifferent and the perverse of human actions. But his chief excellence consists in impressing on the jury a full and distinct apprehension of the merits of the case. It is the fault of some great lawyers to enter too deeply into their causes: they injure them by attempting, before the jury, to give them a false importance. Garrow, on the contrary, comprehends with a glance, just how much the case will bear, and to what length he may presume on the jury. Then, after a clear and precise opening of the cause, in which is contained the real outline, which he knows his evidence will support, he rises in a moment to the middle style of eloquence, and with a fluency surpassing Erskine's, turns his back on the judge, and weaves himself into the common sense of the jury, with whom he never hazards a dubious point, by urging it beyond the bounds of fair plausibility. Here he takes his stand: by resting his case on their own competency, he pays deference, & engages their love, while, without any considerable effort on their part, they follow him at their ease. Never, like Gibbs and Erskine, does he address himself partly to the judge, and partly to the jury, but he seems to leap over the bar, forgetful of all the solemnities of his profession, into the midst of the jury, his fellows; himself at their head, a sagacious pointer, they are ready to follow from White Chapel to Hyde Park.
Nothing, great, no sublime apostrophes, no appeal to the passions, no distracting digressions, no learning, not even law learning, trouble the pure stream of his eloquence. With the rapidity of lightning, he touches on all the important points, throwing out with the one hand and establishing with the other, whatever is immaterial or substantial; thus he lays before the jury the narrow of the cause, and, lest he should obscure it with circumlocution, when he has said all that the jury can bear, Garrow appears to be exhausted.
He attaches more surely than Erskine himself. The latter sometimes strains the feelings too high: amidst a world of matter, he is in danger of losing sight of the question. Garrow never yet wanted to the prejudice of his client. He never, like the eagle, ascends to the sun, but he never forgets his suit to chase butterflies. Though his style of speaking and tone of voice are always the same, yet his penetration is so subtle, and his conclusions so natural, that he succeeds in convincing the jury he is only elucidating their own sentiments. Thus, whatever he gains, instantly becomes a part of the verdict; no matter whether right or wrong, that is the judge's, not his concern.

VIRGINIA ARGUS.
RICHMOND:
SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1805.
Delegates chosen to serve in the next General Assembly of Virginia.
Amelia, Thomas Randolph, Edmund Harrison.
Prince Edward, Peter Johnston, Samuel Carter.
THOMAS NEWTON, sr. Esq. is appointed Collector of the port of Norfolk in the room of Col. NICHOLAS , resigned.
We understand (says the New York Daily Advertiser of the 27th ult.) that Capt. Shaw, who takes command of the frigate John Adams in the room of Capt. Chauncy, yesterday received sailing orders, and will therefore proceed to the Mediterranean as soon as possible. The two gun boats in this port, and one from Philadelphia, expected here in a day or two, will accompany the frigate. Another division of four gun boats have probably sailed for the Mediterranean from Hampton Roads, consisting of two from Washington, one from Baltimore and one from Norfolk. The boats from Charleston and Boston will follow as soon as possible.
The federal Circuit court (says the Baltimore American of the 2d inst.) sat yesterday; judges Chase and Winchester present.—Judge Chase delivered a short and pertinent charge to the grand jury.—his remarks were pointed, modest and well applied. After calling their attention to crimes committed against the laws of the United States which came under their cognizance, and which he particularly noticed—murder, treason and piracy; he informed them he need not dilate on, as there had not come within his knowledge any case for their notice—Any breach of the revenue laws would be brought before them by the proper officers: and observed, that any information required by them would be given by the court when wanted. He particularly directed, that in all cases they were to hear the evidence on the part of the United States only, and in any case, where the evidence was doubtful, they were not to find a bill; as their not finding one did not establish innocence, but only proved that there was not evidence sufficient to find a bill. He particularly noticed that an union of the states should always be advocated, and that the laws should ever be supported as the only certain security of peace and order—even admitting that those laws were unjust, unconstitutional or oppressive; and declared it his opinion, that it was not their duty to enquire into the constitutionality of laws, but to support them, as made by those whose peculiar province it was to enact them, and strongly recommended the encouragement of morality as the sheet anchor of our political security and happiness.
After the charge was delivered, the grand jury retired to their chamber, and in a short time returned and stated to the court, that no business had been brought before them. The judge, returned them his hearty thanks for their attention in the service of the public and thereupon dismissed them.
By an annual statistical table published at Washington by S. Blodget, jun. it appears that the number of free inhabitants in the U. States and Louisiana, amounted in the year 1804 to 6,000,000. That the quantity of improved land in the U. S. was 38,950,000 acres. That the militia amounted to 1,500,000, and the seamen to 64,000 men. That the value of imports was 80,000,000 dollars, and the exports 77,699,074 dollars. That the hard money in circulation amounted to 17,500,000 dollars, and the bank notes to 14,000,000, and that the custom house bonds and cash in the treasury amounted to 16,500,000 dollars.
Cow Pox. —The beneficial effects of Vaccination will be seen by the following statement of the deaths in London by the Small Pox for the last five years, viz.
  1800 2409 deaths.   1801 1461   1802 1579   1803 1173   1804 586 
NEW WHALING GROUND.
A letter from a gentleman in Provincetown, dated April 20, 1805, to his friend in Boston, says, "A number of our Schooners being fitted for a whaling trip to the Straights of Belle-Isle, and the Western Isles; being too early in the season to sail for those places, went out into Barnstable Bay, to cruise for Whales. On Monday, the 15th inst. cruising vessels, with the boats, chased a Right Whale into the harbor; where it was killed after considerable trouble and danger. This Whale is judged to make about 40 barrels of oil.—On Friday morning, the 10th inst. captains Pason C. Cook, and Solomon Cook, jun. in the Schooners Betsey and Four Brothers, (of this town) fitted for the Western Islands, came into the harbor with a large Right Whale, judged to make 80 barrels, killed in the Bay, between Plymouth and Cape-Cod."
The above circumstances are very uncommon of late years;—and it is conjectured, the vast quantities of the ice, to the Northward and Eastward, have occasioned these mammoths of the deep to seek refuge in our waters.—Boston Paper.

An ingenious method of propagating Cucumbers, for several crops in succession, without sowing them.
As soon as there appear several flowerbuds on a plant, bend the second or third joint or branch below the blossom, fasten it firmly in the ground, and cut off the capillary point of the plant. The vegetable speedily takes root, when you separate it from the parent stalk.—Proceed thus with the most vigorous plants; and as each root has to support only a few fruits with nourishment, you both save labour, and procure constant succession of cucumbers, for a number of months; from one sort, which is not so liable to degenerate, as if they were raised from a variety of seeds.
