Valuable Property for sale. WILL be SOLD, to the highest bidder, on the premises, on the third day of April next, at 12 o'clock, an undivided moiety in the two LOTS OF GROUND , formerly the property of Andrew Ronald, dec. fronting the basin of the James River Canal, near the centre of the city of Richmond, with an undivided moiety of all the valuable buildings thereon, consisting of a large three story brick building, eighty feet in length, with four separate tenements, twenty feet wide and forty-five feet in length, with five places on the first and second floors, roomy garrets in each, with large wheels fixed for hoisting and lowering packages, &c. with dispatch and ease, good dry cellars, fire places in each; this house has been lately built, and in good repair; adjoining is a well finished two story framed dwelling house, thirty-eight feet square, with two good cellars, with fire places in each for cooking; in this house on the first and second floors are eight rooms and six fire places; also, a small two story Brick House, with four rooms, with five places in each, convenient for a store or small family—likewise, a small Wooden Building with a cellar built for a kitchen, and may be used as a shop—Also, two Stables and a Carriage House.

The Celebrated Warm Springs
IN VIRGINIA. THE subscribers have taken a lease of ten years, of the highly celebrated MEDICINAL 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 amusement 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 23, 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 pantealoons 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 within 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 pasturage, divided in five distinct inclosures, that mares with foals may be kept distinct from barren mares. One dollar to the groom. No liability for accidents of any description.

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, bearing Thunderbolt, Chanciller, and Sir Pepper, four having paid the forfeit. In the same week he won the Bolton stakes of 50 guineas each, bearing Chamboos, Dragon and Palafax; 7 paid forfeit. Second spring meeting he won the 3d class of the princes stakes of 100 guineas, bearing Thunderbolt; 7 paid forfeit. And in the same week he received 100 guineas forfeit from Lord Grosvenor's Radamantibus. In 1792 he won £ 50 at Guildford, beating Dogs, Thunderbolt, Sarmngaparam, 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 heats, 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, Rosalia, Chesnut colt out of Bobbitt, Chesnut colt out of Rosemary, Humbug, Lazarus, Regnier, Apollo, Gulliver, Tag, Louisa, Tipstaff, Mr. Heathcote's filly out of Reeves, Alchymist, Glodhopper, Grey filly his R.

FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
THE BEAUTIFUL SPANISH HORSE,
APPALUSIA.
WILL find the enclosing station, 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 mares) 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 each the leap. In either case 25 cents to the groom, to be paid down. Mares will be fed with clover and lucern gratis, and corn if required, at the selling price. I have 20 spare galls 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 60 years old.
APPALUSIA found in Angola 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.

JOHN DUNLOP, Attorney for JAMES DUNLOP. Petersburg, Nov. 15, 1804.
TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD.
Runs away from the subscriber about the end of Nov. or early in Dec. a black servant named SAM, I believe about 19 or 20 years of age, very strong and likely for a man of his age. He was seen in the neighborhood of this place some time after he absented himself, but from his connections I have reason to suppose that he may be lurking about, or concealed by those connections in the counties of Powhatan or Cumberland. I will give the above reward if he is brought to me in this place, or ten dollars if secured in a jail so that I may get him.

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 more the season, and a Dollar 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 sweepsstakes at York of 50 guineas each. For two years old colts, 8 stone, fillies 7 stone 12 lbs, six subscribers, beating Lord A. Hamilton's brother to Ration, and Mr. Lowther's h. 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. Hop Hazard, 8st, each, 200 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 sweepsstakes 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 sweepsstakes 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 Orklans, 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 lamed in training in 1801, and has never since started. He was bred by Lord Fitzwilliam, is fifteen hands three inches h, 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 as good a 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 he 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, I. Alnham's dam by Skin, Old Hag, Hydra's dam by Crab, Ebony by Childers, out of Old Ebony by Bascot—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 Makless by Young Greyhound, Partner, Woodcock, Croft's Bay Barb, Makless, Brimmer, Dickey Pierson, son of Dedsworth, Burton Barb mare, Taken from the General Stud Book.

THE POLITICS OF NEW ENGLAND.
Considering elections as a criterion of public opinion, there appears to be, in this quarter of the union, nearly an equal division.
We may compute the population of Rhode Island at 75,000 Massachusetts 520,000 New Hampshire 190,000 Connecticut 260,000
In the whole 1,145,000
The following statement will, with sufficient precision, graduate the scale of political opinion.
   Republican. Federal.     In Rhode Island 50,000 25,000   Massachusetts 310,000 310,000   New Hampshire 100,000 90,000   Connecticut 120,000 140,000  
Total 580,000 565,000
If this result be compared with that evinced by the recent elections in the other parts of the union, we shall perceive a wide difference, if we except the states of Vermont and Delaware, where parties are nearly balanced.
In New York, above three fourths of the people are republican.
In New Jersey, a decided majority is republican.
In Pennsylvania, about four-fifths are republican.
In Maryland, above three-fifths are republican.
In Virginia, nine-tenths are republican. In North Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio, republican principles are almost universally prevalent. In South Carolina, four-fifths are republican.
Whence is it, that such a wide difference in public opinion exists? Are the interests of the North so essentially variant from those of the South, that principles and measures promotive of the one are hostile to the other? This will be contended for by no man, who has been an attentive observer of political events, or who is correctly acquainted with the manners and modes of thinking in the different parts of the United States. With but trifling shades of variance the manners of the people in all the states are homogeneous; and their modes of thinking on every leading point are still more similar.
The only material difference that exists arises from the relative state of agriculture, commerce and manufactures. The first is more generally pursued in the south: and the two latter in the east; but in both quarters, they are so mingled with each other, and the successful pursuit of either is so intimately connected with that of the others, and this impression is so general, that it cannot be said that any serious collisions exist between them. There is, indeed, but one source of division existing on this point, arising from varying opinions on the extent to which either the interests of trade, or of the country generally, can or ought to be promoted by a naval establishment. But this discordance of sentiment cannot have any radical influence on the public mind, as the measures of the existing administration have been characterised by a spirit of friendship, rather than hostility to a navy; and as during the last four years trade has been better protected than during the preceding period.
How then shall we satisfactorily account for this marked difference? I answer that it principally arises from local and personal predilections or aversions, or from temporary causes. It is unnecessary to attempt a specification of the causes of the inflexible spirit with which our fellow citizens of New England have on all occasions, for two centuries past, asserted their rights and opinions. Driven from their native country by religious persecution, they united in the new world as a band of brothers. The toils and dangers to which they were exposed cemented their union; and insensibly produced the most intimate coalition of interests. Composed of individuals, who, for the most part, emigrated from the same country, and speaking consequently the same language, they found in their bosom very few of the materials of dissention and contrariety of thinking prevalent in the other parts of the United States. May it not be added, that the austerity of their religious tenets, clothed banished from or discouraged from coming among them those of dissimilar principles. These considerations powerfully aided by an almost universal diffusion of knowledge, produced an uniformity of sentiment and action rarely found in other communities. This delineation would not be complete, were we to omit adding, that the superior information scattered among all ranks, and a compact population, insured at an early period of the colonisation, better interior arrangements, and more domestic comfort than fell to the lot of their neighbours.

Contrasting their condition with that of the residents in the southern states, it is not surprising, that the people of New England should have a strong predilection for their own institutions, and give them a decided preference.
It is owing, probably to these causes, that there has existed in the eastern part of the union a greater stability of sentiment than in the southern; and that there has been entertained a deeper veneration for the habits of their ancestors. At the commencement of our revolution the people of New England were unquestionably the most united on the continent; and their devotion to liberty knew no abatement during the long period of warfare that ensued. This cordial union, in a cause on whose issue was-hazardous every thing dear to man, naturally drew them still closer together.
At this time they either formed, or approached very near to being the majority of the nation, and in a proportional degree enjoyed the power of the community.
The time soon arrived, when the accession of population to the other states brought with it a correspondent accession of power; until a great ascendancy of numbers gave them a decided control of public affairs. The only effect of this relative change was to produce a still closer union in New England; and this enabled her during the greater part of the administration of Washington and Adams to keep the reins of government in her own hands.
There were not wanting, during this period, ambitious and designing men, who did not fail to avail themselves of these circumstances to further their personal or political views. Various institutions were devised, not perhaps so exceptional in substance as in form, all tending to build up a powerful interest independent, in a high degree, of the control of popular opinion. Such may be considered the national bank, the funding system, and the judiciary establishment. The former of these were principally upheld by the people of New England, who derived a rich harvest from them.
That people, when the constitution was submitted to their consideration, were republican, and were strongly attached to order and good government. Depending greatly on their enterprise on the ocean for their subsistence and prosperity, they had long wished for a system of government which by concentrating the national authority should command the respect of foreign powers, and by inspiring confidence among our own citizens, draw their resources into activity. They thought they perceived in the proposed plan these important features, and therefore espoused its ratification with an ardent zeal. It went into operation, and, as we have seen, the dominant counsels were those of New England, and the measures pursued rewarded her with great wealth. This is most manifest from the fact of the greater portion of the stock, both of the bank and of the funded debt, being held by her citizens. On the former, obtained at par, she soon received an advance of thirty or forty per cent. and on the latter, purchased in many instances, for an eighth part of its nominal value she received par. The effects of these two measures were instantaneous. A new criterion immediately arose. Commerce suddenly acquired a vast extension; manufactures received a new spring; and lands rose in value. The whole population felt these effects, although the speculators alone were those who reaped the direct and the greatest profit.
These adventitious circumstances shed a glory round the existing administrations that attracted the homage of the people, who, for the most part, without analysing the causes, ascribed the effects produced to the magical agency of the constitution, and the still more magical wisdom of those who administered it.
The opposition, which those measures received in different parts of the union, produced a still closer alliance in the East; and, at the same time excited a distrust of the leading men in the other states.
All these causes aided by many others scarcely less powerful, consolidated an hostile interest in New England to the administration raised to power by the voice of their country in 1800. The citizen too, in whose hands the chief power was deposited, was a Virginian, placed in the very chair, from which a citizen of Massachusetts was extruded.
The suffrage, which effected this change, was not so decisive as unequivocally to indicate its permanence. Hence every effort was tried, by the friends of the old administration, to regain their lost power; and they were placed, not so much to rely on defending the wisdom of their measures, as on depreciating the motives, characters and views of their opponents. Having with much success inspired a general distrust of the democratic party, from a diffusion of the apprehension, that, once invested with a power, they would subvert the system of order and government in operation, they, for a while, retained their unanimity of sentiment. Supported by the press, the pulpit and the bar, they monopolized almost every organ of influence.
Notwithstanding, however, these powerful engines, the march of truth, though slow, has been steady. Actions have, to the disinterested part of the people of New England, spoke louder than words; and their continued, nay increased prosperity, has spoke still louder. They have not changed with the facility and levity of a
weather-cock; but their change is, from this very consideration, much more interesting. It manifests caution, reflection, deliberation, conscience. Thus effected, we may rationally expect that a conviction, founded on such motives, will be firm and durable. Nor is it at all improbable, that when the people of the southern or middle states shall at some future period be slumbering on their arms, our eastern brethren will be equipped and ready for service against any usurpation that may be attempted against our common rights. In the mean time let us be satisfied with the regular progress made in New England to the ultimate prevalence of republican sentiments. In New Hampshire and Rhode Island this triumph has already come; and in Massachusetts, though a small majority still adhere to a federal governor, a still greater have manifested their attachment to a republican President.
To the Editor of the Daily Advertiser. SIR, You will, I think, coincide in opinion with me, that the following extract from Dr. Buchanan's advice to Mothers, on the subject of their own health, and on the means of promoting the health, strength, and beauty of their offspring, is well worthy of the attentive perusal of your fair readers. It is written in the most agreeable style, and conveys the most valuable instruction to the fair sex in whose health and happiness our own is inseparably involved.
By giving the article a place in your paper, when it suits your convenience, you will oblige
A CONSTANT READER.
The desire of preserving and improving personal beauty, which discovers itself, at an early period in the female breast, is wisely designed by nature for the best and most important ends: it is a powerful check on excesses of every kind, and is the strongest incitement to cleanliness, temperance, moderate exercise, and habitual good humor. All that is necessary is to convince young people that these are the true means of rendering them lovely, because they are the only means of securing the enjoyment of health, the very essence of beauty; instead of sourly discouraging so natural a wish, let us point out the way to its full accomplishment, and thus prevent many amiable women from taking a wrong road, and from destroying both health and beauty by an absurd pursuit of the latter alone.
One of the first truths to be impressed upon the minds of young women is, that beauty cannot exist without health, and that the one is absolutely unattainable by any practices inconsistent with the other. In vain do they hope to improve their skin, or to give a lively redness to their cheeks, unless they take care to keep the blood pure, and the whole frame active and vigorous. Beauty, both of shape and countenance, is nothing more than visible health; the outward mirror of the state of things within; the certain effect of good air, cheerfulness, temperance, and exercise.
There is nothing, perhaps, so pernicious to women as the use of creams, and pastes, and powders, and lotions, and numberless other contrivances to bleach the skin, or to produce an artificial white and red. All of them act with double injury, not only in destroying the surface which they were expected to beautify, but in poisoning the habit, and causing a fatal neglect of the great preservatives of life itself. A blotch or a pimple, however offensive to the eye, gives timely notice of the impure state of the fluids, and of the kind efforts of nature to expel the noxious matter. Ought not these efforts then to be assisted by a judicious plan of diet and regimen, instead of throwing back the impurity into the blood, and converting the very means of health into the seeds of infection and disease? Besides, lead or mercury is the chief ingredient in all those boasted cosmetics, and, being absorbed through the skin, cannot fail to occasion cramps, spasms, convulsions, cholics, and the incurable train of nervous and consumptive complaints.
Beauty is impaired, and health too often destroyed, by other absurd practices, such as drinking vinegar, to produce what is called a genteel or slender form, and avoiding exposure to the open air, for fear of its injuring the fancied delicacy of a fine skin. Vinegar, used as sauce, and in moderate quantities, serves to correct the putrescent tendency of various articles of food, and is equally agreeable and wholesome; but when swallowed in draughts, for the purpose of producing plumpness, it proves highly injurious, causing excessive perspiration, relaxing the bowels, imparting no small degree of acidity to the blood, & very much enfeebling the whole system. The dread of open air is still more ridiculous and detrimental. Look at the healthy texture of the milkmaid's skin, and at the roses ever blooming on her cheek, and then consider whether the open air can be unfavorable to beauty. The votaries of fashion may affect to despise these natural charms, and to call them vulgar: the heart of man feels their irresistible attraction, and his understanding confirms him in so just a preference. Surely the languid sickly delicacy, produced by confinement cannot be compared to the animated glow of a face fanned by the refreshing breeze!
The woman, therefore, who feels a laudable wish to look well, and to be so in reality, must place no confidence in the silly doctrines or the deceitful art of fashion. She must consult nature and reason, and
seek for beauty in the temple of health; if she looks for it elsewhere she will experience the most mortifying disappointment; her charms will fade; her constitution will be ruined; her husband's love will vanish with her shadowy attractions; and her nuptial bed will be unfruitful, or cursed with a puny race, the hapless victims of a mother's imprudence. She cannot transmit to her children what she does not herself possess; weakness and disease are entailed upon her posterity; and, even in the midst of wedded joys, the hopes of a healthy vigorous issue are blasted forever.
The only way to prevent such evils is to pay a due regard to those rational means of promoting health, which I have already hinted at; temperance, exercise, open air, cleanliness and good humor. These subjects are pretty fully discussed in my "Domestic Medicine;" yet a few remarks may be proper on the present occasion.
"In laying down rules of Temperance, I do not wish to impose any restraint on the moderate use of good and wholesome food or drink; but under these heads we must not include spirituous liquors; relaxing and often repeated draughts of hot tea and coffee; salted, smoke-dried, and highly seasoned meats; salt fish; rich gravies; heavy sauces; almost indigestible pastry; and sour, unripe fruits, of which women in general are immoderately fond. We pity the green-sick girl, whose longing for such trash, is one of the causes as well as one of the effects of her disease; but can any woman capable of the least reflection, continue to gratify a perverse appetite by the use of most pernicious crudities? Fruit, in the season of its maturity, is no less salutary than delicious. By plucking and eating it before it is ripe, you defeat the benignant purposes of nature, and will severely feel her resentment. The morning is the best time to eat fruit, when the stomach is not loaded with other aliment. Even in the evening I had rather see it introduced than the enervating luxuries of the tea table, or the still worse preparations for a supper of animal food. A meal of this sort should not be made twice in one day. After a hearty dinner, a long interval is necessary before nature can require, or even bear, without injury, another substantial repast. Suppers are doubly prejudicial on account of the lateness of the hour, and the danger of going to bed with a full stomach.—Appoplexies are often occasioned by such inconsiderate and unseasonable indulgence, but its certain effects are restless nights, frightful dreams, broken and unrefreshing slumbers, an incapacity of early rising next morning, headaches, paleness of aspect, and general relaxation. Whoever sets any value on health or beauty, will always make very light repasts at night, and will go to bed early; that is to say, never later than ten or eleven o'clock, in order to enjoy sweet repose, and to rise betimes with renovated strength and alacrity to the pleasures and duties of the ensuing day."
PORTAIT OF GIBBS. (BY MR. AUSTIN.)
The person of Gibbs is diminutive, his appearance contemptible; he has not a single strong mark of character, except a sagacious eye. There is nothing engaging in his looks; he rather repels than attracts, but all his defects are forgotten, the moment he opens his mouth. Gibbs is doubtless, the greatest lawyer in England. In a common case, he smks under Erskine and Garrow, but in a cause which involves first principles, where there is no room for the trappings of eloquence, where passion is vain, where digestion weakens, where embellishment is suspicious, he commands admiration, and pens up Erskine in a corner, and not unfrequently makes him stammer.
In addressing a jury, Gibbs is second; but second only to Erskine and Garrow. He neither understands human nature so well nor can he sift character, nor can he insinuate himself, and take advantage of a fortunate moment. He has no conception of the extremes of virtue and vice; he measures every thing with his compass, but he is sure of his dimensions. You make it merely a case of conscience to agree with him, yet he never lets you go, until he has secured you, tho' he never thanks you for a verdict, well knowing you would not have given it, had he not compelled you. Sometimes, though rarely, he attains to eloquence not inferior to Erskine's, and then he is sure of his cause, for what can resist the arguments of Gibbs, backed with the eloquence of Erskine? Yet his eloquence is not an expansive eloquence, because it is not the eloquence of the heart, but that of the head. He cannot look all the jury in the face at the same moment; he does not regard the jury as one man, he feels as though he has twelve persons to convince: different from Erskine, who addresses the whole twelve, and persuades each individual that he is solicited to convince him in particular. With Gibbs, human nature varies in different men; Erskine finds the tie of common humanity, which governs the whole. While the one is laboring his point, the other has already touched you with his wand. Gibbs like his countrymen, effects all he does effect, by main force. Erskine and Garrow are dancing on the top of the fortification, while Gibbs is mining the foundation; and before Gibbs enters the city, it is already sacked. I speak of these great men addressing a jury: in addressing the judges, before whom nothing but law and argument can avail, or will be heard, before whom the most eloquent might as well speak in the dark, Gibbs rises pre-eminent. He assumes nothing, yet you perceive the very deportment of his body bespeaks a man sure of himself, who has sounded his position, and who stands ready to grasp the whole common law of England. When Gibbs shews himself before the judges, Garrow is out of court, or sits with his calamance bag tied up, and Erskine his antagonist, is anxious and as bus as a general, fearful of a surprise.
The deeper the case, the more perplexed, the more original, and involved in law learning, the more firm his position: he is secure in himself, and less cautious of his competitor. He rises with a solemnity and moderation, which impress every one. His voice is strong, slow, and well articulated, perfectly suited to every man, who, in pursuit of the light of reason is willing that every word should be judged by its rules of precision. Without the appearance of arrangement, he has all the elegance of method, luminous, you see
his path through the wilderness of the law, while in his rear follows a stream of connection; thus attaining to all the interest of historical order, the gradually convinces until he challenges all he demanded.
His gestures are moderate, his countenance is never impassioned; he is never, like Erskine a gesticulator; he uses but one arm, and that never in a waving line; his person is scarcely big enough to wield the weight of his mind. He admits little illustration, but depends on his last argument to illustrate the former. He never condescends to be witty, despises embellishment, would trample on all the flowers of May, discovers no learning foreign to the case, and indulges in no sallies except a strong and overwhelming irony, correspondent with the strength of his reasoning. In these moments Erskine's self retires before him, like the shadow, which you have sometimes seen in a cloudy day, retreating over the hills, before the invading presence of the sun. But Erskine in his turn, rallies himself, and easily persuades all, that except in that particular case, he is superior to Gibbs, and though vanquished, he is prepared for another combat.
The judges, as judges, have double the most reverence for Gibbs; it is evident they look up to him with veneration, and are disposed to suspect their own rather than his judgment. Yet this man, a plebeian, is candidate for nothing, while Erskine, the son of an earl, is candidate for the lord high chancellorship. I say not this in disrespect to Erskine, who honors England more than England can ever honor him.
Latest from Europe.
NEW-YORK, April 26.
The ship Oliver Ellsworth, Capt. Bennett, arrived here yesterday, in 40 days from Liverpool. We have received from Capt. Bennett, a file of London papers to the 10th, and Lloyd's List to the 9th ult. which enable us to lay before our readers news several days later than has been received by former arrivals.
LONDON, March 6.—Government have we understand, received intelligence that an unusual degree of activity has lately prevailed in the Dutch ports; and it is also reported that Bonaparte was last week at Boulogne. If Bonaparte has seriously determined to make an attack upon this country, we think it probable that it will be made soon, because from the disposition manifested by some of the great continental powers it is not very likely that he will be able long to keep so large portion of his military force on the opposite coast of France. We confess that we should almost regret any diversion on the continent that would prevent the usurper from making his long threatened attack upon this country; because we should feel no uneasiness as to the result of such an attempt: and we should be happy to have an opportunity of proving beyond all possibility of doubt, that Great Britain is fully able to contend single-handed with France.
MARCH 8.—We are sorry to announce that his Majesty's ship Arrow and a bomb vessel, with twenty-five sail out of thirty, which were under convoy of the former, and bound from Malta to Gibraltar were taken off Toulon by two French frigates. This intelligence was brought by the Liverpool, of Jersey, which arrived yesterday at Portsmouth. It is not improbable that these frigates belonged to the Toulon squadron, which is said to have sailed from that port some time ago.
This morning arrived one Gottenburgh mail, which brought Hamburg papers to the 16th and 19th ult.
A letter from Lyons, dated Jan. 13th, says, that Port Mahon and the island of Minorca have been captured by the British, and that the Toulon squadron, on leaving this intelligence returned into port. This squadron is said to have been bound to Minorca with troops and stores.
Agreeable to Lord Melville's judicious arrangement, three admirals are to be stationed in the East Indies, those seas being so extensive that it will require their united services.—Sir Edward Pellew is to be senior, or first in command; Sir Thomas Troubridge second. The appointment of the third is yet unknown.
MARCH 9.—A third mail from Gottenburgh arrived yesterday afternoon; but the intelligence which it brought is of little importance.
It repeats the rumor which we have already noticed of the surrender of Minorca; but the authority is evidently the same—a private letter from Lyons. Another report, evidently absurd, is that which states the junction of the Rochefort squadron with the Brest fleet. For this we have no better grounds than the Frankfort Journal, which has been long famous for its impudent falsehoods.
The Channel fleet got under weigh from Torbay, on Thursday, with a favorable breeze at south east. It consisted of sixteen sail of the line, four frigates & three cutters. It passed Plymouth the same evening on its course for Brest.
Accounts were yesterday received from our fleet off Ferrol, which state that five large ships, with troops on board, and two smaller vessels, had been seen in lat. 40, and long. 16, standing to the S. W. supposed to be steering a course for the West Indies. The same accounts add, that the French squadron in Ferrol was ready for a start and it was supposed they would attempt to get out while the long nights lasted. Our squadron of course was proportionably vigilant.
April 28.
"The Jupiter, capt. Law, from London and for this port, was lost in the Ick on the 6th instant, in lat. 44, 30, long. 40. She had on board a very valuable cargo; and what is infinitely of more consequence, seventy three human beings, of whom seventeen were her crew. We have not learnt that more than the captain, mate and 6 others, have been preserved; the remainder, we are under fearful apprehensions have perished.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT. A letter from Boston announces the disagreeable intelligence of the loss of the ship Jupiter, Law, from London, to New-York, occasioned by her running against an island of ICE.—The crew and passengers, amounting to 56, took to the yawl and long boat. Those in the latter have been picked up. This vessel is valued at £150,000 sterling. It is greatly to be feared that the fair American, also from London to New-York, has shared a similar fate.
April 29. Yesterday, 9 seamen, who had deserted from the Fly tender, arrived at the Narrows in her yawl. They left the Fly at 2 o'clock yesterday morning 20 miles outside the Hook. They were all British subjects, but had been pressed by the Cambrian and the Fly. They brought off the only small boat the Fly had, and the lock of her 12 pounder. The Fly has pressed only 5 seamen since she has been off the Hook, 3 of whom are among the above deserters. The Fly has made no prizes, and they say she was to sail for Halifax to-morrow. We have since learned by a pilot-boat, that she actually sailed yesterday.
PHILADELPHIA, April 27.
Letters from Hayti, state that Gen. Dessalines, was on the 21st March, besieging the city of St. Domingo.
Our accounts from different ports in the island of Hayti are down to the 4th and 5th instant. The total silence of these on the subject of the French fleet, renders it very probable that it has taken its direction for France.
April 30.
FROM THE WEST INDIES. By Capt. Ellis, of the ship Two Brothers, arrived this morning in 16 days from St. Kitts, we learn that the British squadrons under Admirals Cochrane and Graves, had arrived at Barbadoes, and that the latter had left there in pursuit of the French. These fleets when united amounted to 14 sail of the line.
NEWBERN, (N. C.) April 23. ON Monday last, the Stockholders of the Bank of Newbern, met at the Court House, in this town, for the purpose of making choice of eleven directors. John C. Bryan, Esq. was called to the chair and the meeting proceeded to ballot. On counting the tickets it appeared that the following gentlemen were duly elected. John Harvey, Edward Pastern, William Shepard, James M'Kinlay, Francis X. Martin, Isaac Taylor, John Devereux, Bryan Whitfield, Sen., Alexander Torrans, John Stanly, Samuel Chapman. Yesterday the directors met and made choice of James M'Kinlay, Esq. for President.
NORFOLK, May 2. We do not believe that our Market was ever so poorly supplied with provisions as at present—Beef, not much better than carrion, sells at the enormous price of 1s. per lb.—Lamb and Veal at 1s. 6d. to 2s. 6d. per lb.—Peas, 6s. per peck, and every other article proportionably high.
May 4. Capt. Smith, of the schooner Betsey, arrived in H. Roads, in 23 days from Martinique bound to Salem, informs, that a few days before he sailed, the French fleet arrived there, and after landing their sick immediately made sail, as supposed, for St. Domingo.
Since writing the above, we have accounts by the brig Eliza Heneri, captain Butler, in 13 days from St. Thomas's that on the 4th of April, the French fleet arrived at St. Domingo, and after landing 900 troops, arms, ammunition, &c. immediately made sail for France—that Dessalines with 13,000 brigadiers, attacked Saint Domingo, but was repulsed with the loss of 2000 men, after a gallant resistance by the few troops under the command of General Ferrand.
TEN DOLLARS REWARD. BROKE away last evening, a large stout mare blood bay HORSE, upwards of five feet high, 7 years old last spring, was shot all round about two months ago, but some of the shoes may now be off; he has a large heal and small eyes, trots and gallops; if he has any other marks by which he might be distinguished, they are not recollected. He had on a saddle a good deal worn, with a hogskin seat and plated stirrups. The above reward will be paid on delivery of the horse and saddle to the subscriber. Pickett, Pollard & Johnston.

hemmed on both sides by the loss of their principal seats, the British must retreat to the interior, where they become isolated in the midst of jealous nations.
The next object that presents itself is the movements of the Toulon fleet: It is certainly obvious they were never intended for these western waters.
