THE SUBSCRIBER,
Wishing to employ his capital in another way, proposes to sell, at Public Vendue, on the 23d day of May next, at the Eagle Tavern, commencing at 11 o'clock A. M. the following well situated and valuable PROPERTY, within this city—viz: FIVE LOTS , between the basin of the Canal and James river—one of these, is a good two story dwelling house, offices and garden. On another, there is a dwelling house, offices and garden, of equal value—On another, there is a smaller dwelling house and garden—The two other Lots are finely situated on the South East side of the Hay-Market Square, upon one of which there is a good lumber house.
Also, that very commodious, finely situated, two story brick Dwelling House, with a square of four Lots, (more eligible in point of situation perhaps, than any other in the city) and completely arranged offices, on which the subscriber now resides. A further description is deemed unnecessary, as it is wished that those who are disposed to purchase, will previously examine the premises. The last described Square, will be found worthy of particular attention, since there is not another entire square, perhaps, to be purchased on any terms.
It is well known that property in Richmond becomes daily, more and more valuable. The rapid increase of commerce and population, the great and increasing advantages of the Canal, and the establishment of a Bank, with many other public institutions, justify the opinion, that property thus situated will continue to advance in price.
The terms of sale will be, a credit of five instalments—the first falling due six months after the day of sale, and the others to succeed at an interval of six months from each other. Should it be agreeable for purchasers to make prompt payment, a liberal discount will be made; as it is an object to obtain shares in the Bank.

Bred by the Duke of Grafton, a beautiful bright bay, near sixteen hands high, of high form and elegance, rising thirteen years old, in good health and great perfection, imported last spring by William Lightfoot, Esq. of Charles City county, and now his property, will stand the ensuing season at the subscriber's, in Charlotte county, five miles below the courthouse, and three from Boulton's old stores, to cover mares at Six Guineas the season, for which a note will be required, dischargeable by the payment of Twenty Dollars, at any time before the 10th of August next, when the season will expire, with One Dollar to the groom for each mare, paid at the stable door.—Good and extensive pasturage, well enclosed, with a creek and branches running through, the flat land affording as good forward pastures as any in this part of the country, gratis. Servants that may be sent with mares will be boarded without charge, and mares fed, if required, on reasonable terms. The utmost attention paid and care taken to prevent accidents, but will not be responsible for any that may happen.

PEDIGREE.
HAMBLETON was got by Dunganon (one of the best sons of O'Kelly's famous Eclipse, who was esteemed to be the best horse of his day, and covered at fifty guineas,) his dam by Snap, sister to Jupiter, bred by Mr. Cross 1773—her dam (young Marske's dam) by Blank, Stirling, Miss Magnett, by Partner, Greyhound, Curwen, Bay Barb, Lord D'Arcy's Arabian, Whittleshi, old Montague mare. Thus it appears he descended from the best running stock in England.
PERFORMANCES.
This horse ranks very high as a racer, both for speed and bottom, as he proved successful in twenty races before he left the turf, four of which he walked over, none venturing to start against him. In 1794, at Hambleton, Yorkshire, on Wednesday May 14th, he won a sweepstakes of ten guineas each, for 3 year olds, six subscribers, two miles, beating Mr. Bethell's b. f. by Magnum Bonum, Pierce's b. f. by Young Marske, Turner's Confederacy, and Craddock's ch. c. Leicester. At York he won 50l. for three year olds, beating Lowther's b. c. Griffin, Crompton's ch. c. Amhurst, Sheppard's Madcap, Clifton's b. c. Cederus, and Garforth's ch. c. s.—even betting on Amhurst against the field. At Manchester in June, he won 50l. for three year olds, two mile heats, beating Foreigner and Loyalist. At Stockton September 20th, he won a sweepstakes of twenty guineas each, five subscribers, then Sir H. Williamson's property, formerly Mr. Hutchinson's, beating Highflyer, out of Wren, and Turner's Delpine.—In 1795, Hambleton won five times, to wit—a handicap plate of 50l. two mile heats, at four years old, beating Insect, Blacklegs, and Watkins' b. c. five years old. At Edinburgh July 20th, he won his majesty's plate of 100 guineas, four years old, four mile heats, beating Pyebald—and on the 23d walked over the ground for 50l. all ages—and on the 24th 50 guineas for all ages, four mile heats, beating Gregson's b. h. Archer, 6 years old, Mr. Peacock's ch. g. Farmer, and Mr. Wilson's Creeping-Kate. At Dumfries in October, he won 50l. beating Lord Darlington's b. m. Constant.—In 1796, Hambleton won at Kelso, 5th October, a purse of 50 guineas, beating Mr. Bailer's Black Cock.—In 1799 he won eight times, to wit—at Middleham, in Yorkshire, a sweepstakes of 10 guineas each, five subscribers, 3 mile heats, beating Merry Lad and Arthur.—At Edinburgh on Wednesday the 26th, 50 guineas for all ages, beating Eliza Fox and Betsy. On Friday 28th, the ladies subscription purse of 50 guineas, beating Fletcher's Jane. At Montrose in Scotland, August, he walked over the ground for a 50l. plate—and also walked over the ground for a subscription of 50l. At Kelso October 16th, for a plate of 50 guineas, he walked over the ground—and also his majesty's 100 guineas given to the Caledonian Hunt, for any horse, &c. carrying 12 stone, four mile heats, then six years old, he won against Mr. Wentworth's Trimbush, Piermont's Trimmer aged, and Kincaid's Hester aged—and Saturday following a purse of 50l. given by the Hunt, free for any horse, &c. beating Farewell and Roliker. At Carlisle he won 100 guineas of Mr. Sitwell, beating his b. f. by Meteor.—In 1798, he won at Edinburgh, August, 50l. for all ages, beating Maxwell's Arab, and Mr. Maule's Hippopotamus.—At Montrose he won a plate of 50 guineas, for all ages, beating Pitfourth and Contractor.

Land for Sale.
I AM disposed to sell my tract of land in the county of Amelia, whereon I at present reside, containing 400 acres. It is advantageously situated on the north side of West creek, just above its junction with Deep creek. There is on this tract about 280 acres of cleared land, under good fences, and in good farming condition, the balance stands in woods and is of prime Tobacco quality. The creek, (by which it is bounded on the south,) has a considerable quantity of swamp land attached to it, which abounds with fine large timber of white oak, poplar, ash, &c. and lies convenient enough to every part of the plantation to furnish rails without cutting any of the high land. There is also about 40 acres of first rate meadow land, which lies in one body, beautifully situated, and produces natural grass sufficient to winter one hundred head of cattle annually—about 20 acres of this meadow is reclaimed, and the balance may be put in the same situation with but little trouble or expense—it may be necessary to observe that no part of it is liable to flow, over being a considerable distance from the creek, and sufficiently dry to produce either Tobacco or Corn. The improvements consist of a new dwelling house, 34 feet by 18, with a brick chimney at each end, 2 rooms below and 2 rooms and a passage above stairs, also a commodious cellar, with a fire place, underneath the house, a smokehouse and kitchen, all of which are newly painted on the out side, tobacco barns, &c. Those who are inclined to purchase such property are invited to view the premises, which I presume will be a better recommendation than anything I can say. I will treat with any gentleman privately until the first day of July, on which day it will be sold at public sale, on the premises, if not previously disposed of at private sale. The terms will be one half cash, when possession is given (which will be when demanded) and the other half in twelve months—to secure the payment of which a deed of trust on the property will be required. There is at present 130 bushels of wheat sowed on the best part of the plantation, which the purchaser may take, or not take; also 8 prime laborers, which he may have the balance of the year—Application to be made to the subscriber, on the premises.

ADMIRAL NELSON,
EIGHT years old last spring, a beautiful well formed brown bay horse, imported last fall by William Lightfoot, Esq. and now his property, fifteen hands three inches and a half high, full of strength, health and vigor, and inferior to no horse either for speed or bottom; of fine bone and muscle and unequalled activity; Will stand at my stables this season, in Powhatan county, 20 miles above Richmond, on James river, and will be let to mares at Three Guineas the leap, paid down, and Six the season, with 4s 6d to the groom; but the season may be discharged by the payment of 20 dollars on or before the 1st November. The season will end 1st August. Good and extensive pastures gratis, and servants found while attending their mares. No responsibility for involuntary escapes or accidents. This horse has not run many races, but his performances will sufficiently justify the opinion of Lord Grosvenor and his son, who certify that they considered him the best three year old in England, which may be seen under their hands and seals.
In October 1798, at New-Market, he won a sweepstakes of 1400 guineas, 12 subscribers at 200 guineas each, half forfeit, colts carrying 8 stone 3lb, fillies 8 stone, beating Sir Harry, Mr. Cookson's b. c. by Sir Peter, Mr. Perrin's b. c. Young Javelin, Sir Francis Standish's ch. c. Split Pigeon—5 to 4 against Admiral Nelson, 7 to 4 against Sir Harry, 6 to 1 against Split Pigeon, and 10 to 1 against Young Javelin. In 1799 he won a sweepstakes of 1600 guineas, 14 subscribers at 200 guineas each, beating Lord Egremont's b. c. by Preceptor, out of Bob Tail, Mr. Perrin's b. c. Javelin, and Mr. Golding's Boaster—3 to 1 on Admiral Nelson. In 1800, he got so much injured in his practice that he did not come on the turf again until 1803, when he won a purse of £50, 4 mile heats, beating several fine horses—See Sporting Magazine for this year.

Late Foreign Intelligence.
PARIS, March 12.
The following are the latest accounts collected by the prefect of police respecting the circumstances attending the arrest of Georges.
Citizen Petit, peace officer having found out that a Cabriolet was to be sent to Georges on Friday night about ten o'clock, disposed his inspectors of police in consequence; and as soon as the Cabriolet appeared, followed it from the bridge to the Thuilleries, till it arrived nearly opposite the Pantheon. As the Cabriolet went very quick, he could only overtake it with one of his colleagues, citizen Destavigny, and three of his agents. The very moment it stopped, Georges rushed into it with Leridan, without waiting for Durban, another brigand, who was to have got in with him. Georges immediately set off, crossed the rue St. Jacques, went down the rue St. Hyacinthe, the place St. Michel, and the rue de la Liberte. In the mean while, citizen Petit, and three of his agents, ran after the Cabriolet, which now drove along rapidly, as fast as it could. Georges having perceived thro' the back glass, some men running after the carriage all in a sweat, ordered the conductor to drive still quicker. At the moment the Cabriolet entered the rue des Fosses St. Vincent, the inspector of Police Jean Francis Calliole, who arrived the first seized the reins of the horse, whilst Buffet, another inspector, came up to look into the carriage. Georges, in one instant fired two pistols, at the same time, shot Buffet dead on the spot and wounded Calliole very dangerously. Georges and Leridan then leaped out of the Cabriolet, one to the left and the other to the right. The third inspector pursued Leridan and citizen Petit seized Georges by the collar in which he was assisted by citizen Destavigny; but they would have been scarcely able to hold the brigand, still defending himself with his poignard, had not citizen Thomas, a hat maker, together with his brother Lamotte, hastened to their assistance and disarmed him. Many persons rendered services on this occasion particularly the citizens Coquelin and Langume, of the street de Thionville. The people by this time had assembled in crowds, all seeming to vie with each other in offering their help. When informed that it was Georges who had just been seized, they were ready to tear him in pieces. But since he had been principally arrested by the citizens of that neighborhood, the latter were resolved to have the glory of it, by delivering him up to the magistrates. They accordingly tied him up and then took him to the prefecture of police.
The first consul has given orders that the children of Stephen Buffet, and John Francis Calliole, shall be brought up at the expense of the state. All the money found on Georges, amounting to near 60 or 80,000 fr. has been given to the children and widow of Stephen Buffet. Some hopes are still entertained that John Francis Calliole may recover of his wounds.
The first consul, has also directed the grand judge to take an authentic inquest, in order to discover the names of all those citizens who manifested their courage, and gave proofs of their attachment to the government, on this occasion. They are to be recompensed with distinctions of honor.— Moniteur.
March 16.
The whole conversation seems to be engrossed by the late conspiracy, from which France and its government have had the happiness to escape; as the slightest details concerning it are eagerly received, we present the following to our readers.
"One hundred and fifty of the conspirators, were, we are credibly informed, to have dressed themselves in the uniform of the first consul's guides, and by means of this disguise carry him off, either at Matmaison, whilst he was hunting, or during one of his journeys, and take him dead or alive to England. In consequence of this information given by Querelle, one of the conspirators, the uniforms have been found. This man improperly called Griel, is the same who was arrested in October last, with a number of other brigands, and when on the point of being shot, promised, in order to save his life, to make very important discoveries; it was from him government first learnt that Georges was in France, together with many others, more or less concerned in the infernal plot, and it was in consequence of his deposition that a great number of arrests took place. He it was likewise, who gave the information, that a landing of a body of Chouans was to take place on a certain day. Hitherto, however, no chief superior to Georges appeared to have been concerned. But about the time the paragraph appeared in the Moniteur , respecting the arrest of two brigands, the consul Lebrun received an anonymous letter, in which he was informed that one Bouvet d'Ozier had for some time past lodged in a country house, upon the banks of the Oise, a number of suspected persons; in this letter too, was mentioned the address of Bouvet's mistress at Paris.—On proceeding to her apartment, Bouvet was found there and immediately arrested; he had in his possession a note by which he was requested to be present at a secret conference.
"In consequence of the further information contained in this note, some more Chouans were arrested, and at length information was received concerning Mme. Duran wine merchant in the Faubourg St. Antoine, who was found to be in the habit of Georges."
ges, his cook, and Victor, condemned to death for the share he had borne in the plot of the third Nivose, were found. Information had indeed been received concerning a great personage to whom Georges acted in subordination, but his name was unknown, until Bouvet declared that it was Pichegru; this circumstance occasioned, about the 13th of February, a discovery of his connections with Moreau; they had been informed by means of a cidevant secretary of Pichegru, of the name of David, who when formerly arrested at Calais, had occasioned suspicions to be entertained that Moreau had a part in this plot.—Pichegru arrived at Paris in Pluviose; he came in the second landing which took place.
"The third landing spoken of by Querelle, was unquestionably that concerning which gen. Savary lately received orders. There was a convention agreed on between Pichegru & Moreau, in which Bouvet bore a part, in the quality of plenipotentiary to the count d'Artois. To carry off Bonaparte and to put Moreau in his place, formed part of the plan which was to have been executed on the 15th Feb. Moreau did not exert himself immediately for the restoration of the Bourbons, but he insisted upon being declared Dictator, only that he might at the end of a little time, deliver the government into their hands.—Pichegru placed no reliance upon their promises, which induced him to eye Moreau with suspicion, at the very moment whilst he was himself looked upon in the same point of view by Georges, on account of his wishing to appropriate to his own use 4 millions, which he had received in England to enable him to execute the plot.
"Rolland who had been arrested for having lodged Pichegru in his house, has been released, as he proved that the latter slept there only for one night, and had made him believe that he was then striving to get his name struck off the list of the emigrants. It was he who declared to the counsellor of state, Real , before whom he was examined, that Pichegru was highly discontented with Moreau, who had boasted of having a very great party amongst the army, and magistrates, & Pichegru said, had falsely persuaded him that every thing was ready for the execution of the grand project."— Clf du Cabinet.
LONDON, April 3.
The scene of mock trial & of blood has commenced in France, not with the bringing before a public tribunal Moreau or Pichegru, or Georges, or any of the persons contained in the grand judge's list; but with the trial of the gallant grandson of the prince of Conde, the Duke de Enghien . In this instance Bonaparte has, as usual, shown his contempt and disregard for the laws of nations and the rights of independent princes. The Duke d'Enghien was in Germany, at Ettenheim, a principality that by the plan of indemnities, devolved to the Margrave, now elector of Baden. This unfortunate prince of the house of Bourbon had been at Ettenheim for three years—upon his own estate, in his own palace ; an estate and palace bequeathed to him by his great uncle the Cardinal De Rohan. Whether the French government sent a message to the elector, informing him of their intention to send a military force into his territory, and seize the duke d'Enghien and several other persons—or whether they affected to solicit permission to violate the electorate, a permission which they knew the elector dared not refuse, we know not: but on the 15th of last month, an aide-de-camp of the first consul's, gen. Camillecourt, the son of an officer who was brigadier of Louis XVth's life guards, crossed the Rhine in three places & surrounded Ettenheim & Offenbourg, about 10 miles on the right bank of the Rhine. At those two places several persons were arrested. The duke de Enghien was arrested upon his own estate. At Strasbourg too, several retired emigrants were taken up and sent to Paris. All the proceedings against the Duke d'Enghien were worthy of such a government as Bonaparte's.
Arrested on the 15th in Germany, he was brought to the castle of Vincennes, only six miles from Paris, where he was not tried on the 21st—bro't to trial do we call it? Bro't to hear his sentence of condemnation and death. The court, a military commission, was selected by the brother-in-law of Bonaparte, and was composed of eight officers. No jury was allowed, no counsel for the prisoner. Six days after the duke's arrest, three of which were passed on the road to Vincennes, he was bro't to trial without the power of preparing a regular defence, of summoning any witnesses, or of producing any proof in his justification or exculpation. Nor is this all; it appears that the charges and documents on both sides, say the official account, were read before the prisoner was bro't in. After they had been read, he was bro't in, free and unfettered, asks the Moniteur , with bitter & cruel mockery. The military commission unanimously, as was to be expected, found him guilty and condemned him to death. Of the charges bro't against him the greater part applied to the duke's conduct before the peace of Amiens; to his having taken up arms against Robespierre, as well as against Bonaparte. Bonaparte does right to avenge the cause of a predecessor whom he so much resembles. But the most curious charge against the duke is that of Espionage — Espionnage in a foreign country!
Such is the intelligence communicated in the Paris papers to the 25th ult. which we received late last night. We have no account of the execution of the duke d'Enghien; but there is no reason to suppose the tyrant will spare his life. And
thus, by a Corsican adventurer, will be cut off, the last hope of the great and gallant house of Conde—a house that traces its ascent, in a long unbroken line to the 6th son of St. Louis; a house that shines with such lustre in every page of French history, and of which Boileau says,
Conde dont le nom seul renverse des Marailles Abat des Escadrons, et gagne des Batailles.
What must be the feelings of the aged prince de Conde, at his dignified retirement at Wanstead house! His hope, his name, his race destroyed, root and branch, in one moment! It is to be hoped that religion has brought him consolation, under the many misfortunes that have been accumulated upon his reverend head. Yet, little did he think, little did the other French princes think, when they were celebrating Easter Day with him in their Chapel here, that the prayer of those in trouble, in bondage and in affliction, embraced one of the dearest, as well as one of the most honorable of their relatives.
It is curious to contemplate the events that are bro't about by a change and reverse of fortune. The castle of Vincennes is now the prison of Moreau.—In that very castle was sentenced to death a prince who had been opposed to Moreau last war; who followed and harassed him in his celebrated retreat, and whose cavalry afforded the most efficacious protection to the Austrians when Moreau once or twice paused in his retreat to beat back the Austrian advanced guard.—The duke d'Enghien's military talents gained the respect of Moreau, who always spoke of him in the highest terms.
We cannot turn our eyes from the afflicting subject, to contemplate with any attention, the other news in the French papers, which however, is not interesting.
PARIS, March 20.
Particulars relative to the arrest of General Pichegru.
The broker Le Blanc was the person who betrayed Pichegru, who occupied in his house a small room in the fifth floor, for which he paid 150,000 livres in the month. Le Blanc went to general Murat the governor of Paris and offered to inform him of Pichegru's place of concealment and to deliver him up for 100,000 livres (4000 £ sterling.) This sum was promised him. The manner of arresting him was then settled. Le Blanc introduced the gens d'armes into his house at night, when Pichegru was asleep and gave a key to his room.—As they were informed that Pichegru had with him two pistols and a dagger, they opened the door with as little noise as possible and rushed on his bed. Though surprised and alarmed, Pichegru conducted himself with the greatest vigor, and in a manner that even his enemies were forced to esteem his courage and pity his misfortunes. He jumped out of his bed, naked without arms; knocked down four gens d'armes , and they were unable to hold him, although six in number. He almost choked two, in pushing them against the chimney; a third he struck so strongly upon the breast, that he yet spits blood; and the fourth he pinched in the arm with such strength, that the gens d'armes cried out, "If you do not let me loose, I will shoot you through the head." With the loss of part of his flesh, he got loose, and Pichegru exclaimed, "free rascal, and you shall receive a sword of honor." At last he was obliged from fatigue, to capitulate—and surrendered himself, upon condition of not being tied or chained. He was, however, wounded in the head, and on the shoulders, and had lost a great deal of blood. In dressing himself he declared, that if he had not been deprived of his arms, he should not have fallen into their hands. He was afterwards carried before the Counsellor of State and Police director, Real , and underwent a long examination. Bonaparte had ordered the gens d'armes to take him alive, and they were all six picked men. Upon Real asking who he was? Pichegru answered I am known enough. "Where do you come from?" "From England." "In what manner?" "In a ship, not a balloon." "Where did you land?" "At Dieppe." "Who brought you here?" "Nobody; I came here by myself." "Were you not accompanied by your accomplices?" "I am no criminal, and therefore have no accomplices." "Do you know Moreau?" "Yes." "Have you seen him?" "After what has happened between us, I could only see him with arms in my hands." "Have you seen Georges?" "Yes. The Royalist; but not the supposed assassin Georges." "But Georges has more than once plotted the death of the First Consul?" "So says Bonaparte. Georges says the contrary. I believe the latter more humane and honest than the former, and his words are therefore more to be depended upon." "With what view did you come to Paris? To call Moreau to account for his conduct in 1797?" After these, and some other questions, he was sent to the Temple, where Moreau is shut up in one of the dungeons."
Letter from Moreau to Bonaparte. Les Nouvelles à la Main, Vieuxse An. XII. No. 11. or Paris, March 9, 1804, contains what follows.
"The letter which we now publish, has been circulated all over Paris for this week, and many thousand copies have been sent into the departments. We reprint it however, that foreigners may read what at the moment excites so much interest in France. It is addressed to "Monsieur Bonaparte, the First Consul, by Citizen Moreau, the Victor of Hohenlinden, now a close Prisoner in the Temple."
"TO MONSIEUR BONAPARTE, THE FIRST CONSUL.
"From the Dungeon of the Temple, Vieuxse 10th, Year XII. March 1, 1804."
"SIR, "SINCE your ambition requires more victims, strike, but do not calumniate those you butcher. Wade in the blood of innocence, but spare honor in taking away life.
"If you expect from me the supplicant's petition, read no farther. In this dungeon, where your tyranny has plunged me, I am more elevated than you upon your usurped throne. So say all just men of my cotemporaries, and future ages will confirm their sentence. No Sir, on the borders of eternity I call you to an account for your treason against my country and against myself. Do you remember our mutual agreement on the 8th November, 1799? Talleyrand, Sieyes and Le Fevre were present—I promised to die by your side in the attempt of removing the Directorial tyrants. You swore to establish a Government, not depending upon the life of one individual, not tyrannical, but firm, stable and liberal; bestowing freedom on Frenchmen, and worthy to obtain by gratitude from foreign nations, that confidence and esteem, which your predecessors and yourself have commanded by the dread of your bayonets. When I shortly afterwards went to head armies—disorganized and defeated—your last words were: "I know your love of your country; be victorious and France shall force admiration even from her rivals & foes, by the liberty she enjoys at home, & by the generosity of her external negotiations! How have you fulfilled these great promises? how have you respected these oaths? In my degraded country, I see nothing but cringing slaves and proud tyrants; base placemen and infamous spies. Every where in Europe, from Sicily to Moscow, yourself and your government are alike feared and detested. Deny those facts if you can! You have long followed the example of Sylla the triumvir; imitate, for a month only, Sylla, the private citizen, and you shall be convinced, that the compliments of selfish and enslaved princes prove no more the standard of merit in a governor, than the flattery of vile courtiers, or the praise of corrupted counsellors.
"But as this will probably be the last time that you will hear from me, consider what I now tell you, not as the envious declamation of an imprisoned rival general but as the genuine effusion of the mind of a dying patriot, who forgives his death and your ingratitude. You pretend that my countrymen are happy, and satisfied with your government. Let it be so, tho' slaves can have no opinion, or at least dare not express one. But you are mortal as well as myself. If you love Frenchmen, let not their happiness depend upon your life. You have too much sense not to know that, with you the Consulate for life will expire in the Bonaparte family; and other pretenders of other upstart families combat for, annihilate, or occupy a consular throne, of only some few years standing. As to your right of appointing a successor in your will, remember that Louis XIV. the royal descendant of fifty kings, was, after a reign of upwards of threescore years not five minutes a corpse before his will was overturned; a will approved by the Princes of the Blood, registered in his Parliament, and applauded by all his courtiers; and that the Duke of Maine was shut up as a prisoner when he expected to rule as a Regent.
"To prevent our children and grand children from suffering the wretchedness of our forefathers by turns tormented by anarchy, or crushed by tyranny; and from witnessing those scenes of horror, terror and scandal we have seen; recall the legal heir to the throne of France, and limit severally his authority: make him a King but not a despot. Such was the plan of Pichegru, of myself, and of Georges; and with this plan your preservation was necessarily connected, because we wanted your fortune, your talents and your rank, as well as our own services to watch the reign of a foreigner, who though misfortunes may have made him prudent, suffering, liberal, and gratitude just; may by relatives less patriotic than himself, be tempted to extend his power.
"I defy your Grand Judge, and his horde of spies to prove any thing contrary to this assertion. My wife, my mother-in-law, and my brother, know nothing of this loyal undertaking. I should regard the day of my death with greater satisfaction than those of my triumphs, could I but hope that it served to make my country flourishing, my fellow citizens free and prosperous, and worthy of liberty and prosperity."
"MOREAU."
PHILADELPHIA, May 15.
Extracts from the letters of a midshipman dated, in prison, Tripoli, Nov. 22, 1803, to his friends in this city.
In my last to you I mentioned, that in consequence of the Tripolian Captain's letter to the Bashaw, we were ordered to hold ourselves in readiness to march to the Castle, as we supposed to the apartment of the Bashaw, to undergo another examination; but in the morning following, when the guard arrived, we were conducted to the prison, where our men are confined, and informed by the guard, that it was to be our prison in future by order of the Bashaw, to retaliate for the treatment his subjects received while on board the John Adams.—The prison has been formerly the Bashaw's smoke-house, and the most wretched looking place I believe they could find, however in the evening we were ordered back to our old prison, but a palace to the castle, in consequence of the French
and Danish consul having interceded in our behalf.—Since then we have all been closely confined as before.—Our chief support is sleep; we mostly retire to rest at 7 o'clock, & in the morning when we awake, the iron bars around the windows pronounce too plainly that we are prisoners. I am sorry to inform you that 3 or 4 of our crew have turned traitors to their country, by embracing the Mehometan religion & taking up arms against their country; they have already made their appearance with their heads shaved & a Turkish habit on, I am induced to believe, that their way of living drove them to this conduct. Mr. Hesen, Danish consul continues to pay us the greatest attention, he informed us, the frigate will never be fit for sea again unless she is hove down, which is impossible to be done here.
November 26.
Our friend, Mr. Hesen, the Danish consul, I am told is going to return to Copenhagen—I am sorry to inform you, John —, formerly a quarter master on board the frigate, has got his freedom, and will leave here to day for Alicante, on account of his having given the Bashaw information that the ship was scuttled, and in fact every thing he knew, which could be of service to the Bashaw; I hope capt. Bainbridge will write to our consul at Alicante, and have him taken up, so that he may be punished by the laws of the U. S.—No doubt but malicious attacks will be made against capt. Bainbridge and his officers concerning the loss of the frigate, but I assure you all that was in the power of man to be done, was by our noble commander.
The following is a copy of a communication issued by capt. Bainbridge, a few days after the loss of the frigate.—It is directed to the first Lieutenant.
SIR,
The late unfortunate event prevents the midshipmen from receiving that information in their profession, which they otherwise would have derived; and that the distressing time spent here may not be entirely lost to them, you will inform them that it is my request, that immediately after breakfast, they will repair to their room to study navigation, and read such books as in our possession, which will improve their minds.
Given in a prison in Tripoli, Barbary, Nov. 5, (Signed) WM. BAINBRIDGE.

FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
NEW SERIES OF FEDERAL MISREPRESENTATIONS.
No. VI.
A public Dinner was given at Boston on the 24th ult. to Christopher Gore, one of the American commissioners under the British Treaty.
That merchants, about to recover large sums of money of which they had been despoiled by the rapacity of British privateers, should feel grateful to the instruments of their welfare is no cause of surprise; that they should in lively manner convey their thanks to Mr. Gore, may, for aught we know, be right; without pretending to much knowledge on the subject, we can only say we have never heard his good conduct in the management of this business questioned. We are ready, therefore in charity to consider him, as a fit object not only of the thanks of merchants, but likewise of his country. But that those very merchants, who owe their millions to the wise and spirited measures of the existing administration should, at the moment of realising them, join in denouncing as weak and wicked their best benefactors, is a specimen of gratitude not surpassed in modern times.
Let it be remembered that when the late administration resigned the reins of government, the commission was suspended. Propositions of compromise for its renewal were, it is true, made but they were not agreed to. Exorbitant terms were required by the British Cabinet. Under these circumstances the present administration came into office. Party malice had done its utmost to lessen their influence with the British government. Official acts of their predecessors were not wanting to prejudice the British government against them by representing them as actuated by an inextinguishable hatred to every thing British. By blending, however, firmness with prudence, they effected a compromise upon terms advantageous to their country. The operations under the commissions were resumed, and brought to an early issue.
With these facts on his mind, is there a citizen that does not blush at the spirit that dictated the following toasts given at the entertainment at Boston.
"Washington.—Since Government have denied a monument to his memory, may every American erect one in his heart. "May the dominion of Virginia be limited by the Constitution, or at least by the Delaware."
"May they who cause the dismemberment of the American empire, be alone subjected to its evils.—Dead march in Saul."
"Such an administration as will not select its friends from the culprit's bar; nor its victims from the bench."
"If federal virtues are obliged to swarm from the seat of government; may they find a live in the north."
"Aaron's Rod:—May it blossom in New-York, and may federalists be still and applaud, while the great serpent swallows the less."
By the hon. Samuel Dexter, Esq. "The sleeping Sampsons of New-England:—May they awake before the Phisicians have cut off their hair."

THE subscriber deeply laments the necessity under which he is placed of vindicating his character from certain charges...

B. Prizes subject to a deduction of 15 per cent.
This Lottery has been authorized by the Legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purpose of erecting a seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view, it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dollars, and 2,500 dollars in addition, for defraying the expenses attendant on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first respectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their utmost exertions to carry it into effect. The scheme has the advantage of giving to each adventurer, a chance for some very large prizes, whilst the proportion of prizes to blanks, is so great as to invite the friends of the intended institution to participate in the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of the state is to be appointed to receive the money for the tickets as they are sold, and to pay the amount of the prizes to the fortunate adventurers. It is believed that the above considerations will induce a rapid sale of tickets, and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorize it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next. Richmond, January 31, 1804.

Pinkerton's Geography. THE Subscribers to the revised edition of Pinkerton's Modern Geography are informed that the first volume is just published by JOHN CONRAD & Co. No. 30, Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. The publishers have used their best endeavors to make the work deserving of the very liberal encouragement afforded to it by the public, and equal in all respects to the English quarto edition which sells for nearly three times the price. The geography of this country is revised and considerably augmented by Dr. Benjamin Smith Barton the American maps are drafted by Mr. Samuel Lewis, principally from actual surveys, and engraved by Harrison, Lawton, and Fanner; careful attention has been paid to correcting the press, to binding and to every thing that would insure to the publishers the approbations of their subscribers. Subscriptions will be received by S. Pleasants, Jr. at twelve dollars per copy until the work is completed, when it will be raised to fifteen dollars. Character of Pinkerton's Geography from the New Annual Register, for 1802. Mr. Pinkerton may well say that this Geography is digested on a new plan. It forms in reality, an era, in the science, or rather, for the first time scientifically arranged that which till now was possessed of no scientific features whatever. Mr. Pinkerton is a most attentive investigator; he is not satisfied with blindly copying from his predecessors; he has examined for himself, his authorities moreover so far as we have been able to trace them are of the highest value; and that he has examined for himself, is sufficiently proved by offering for the first time his references to the eye of the reader. Curtailing the usual introductory routine of the planetary system, its laws, phases and terrestrial influence, and the political history of the various countries he describes, he has properly supplied their exuberance with that which is an integral and essential part of Geography, although hitherto never admitted into publications upon this subject, the history or progressive political changes of the states that pass in order before him, accounting for the rise and variation in the names of their different districts—their appropriate meteorology, soil, agriculture, botany and zoology. The maps and charts are delineated with peculiar precision; they are the joint production of Messrs. Arrowsmith and Leyway, and to these the author principally refers in all his verbal descriptions, as with strict justice he may, for a more clear and definite comprehension of the large rivers and mountains that occur to him in his progress.

Valuable Medicines, JUST received, and for sale at the Book Store of S. PLEASANTS, Jr.—who is appointed the ONLY agent for Richmond—Sold wholesale and retail by RICHARD LEE, No. 56, Maiden Lane, New York.
The following remedies have for six years past been celebrated for the cure of most diseases to which the human body is liable, and are in high esteem, and general use throughout the United States, many of them being sold cheaper than the drugs of which they are compounded could be purchased at a retail store, for Worms, Tooth-Ache, Coughs & Colds, Corns, Itch, Asthma, Lice, Consumption, Diseases of the Eyes; Gout, Ringworms, Tetter, &c Rheumatism, Inward Weakness, Sprains, Nervous Disorders, Palsy, Female Complaints, Head Ache, Hooping Cough, &c. For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended DR HANN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS.
This medicine has been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies and the southern of the United States, particularly Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places has been adduced who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy has under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions; to restore and amend the appetite; to produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequence. A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance—They are celebrated for removing habitual colicness, sickness at the stomach, and severe head ache; and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate. They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preferred for the use of every seaman.
The medicines prepared by Richard Lee, have been in high estimation and general use throughout the United States for upwards of six years; many of them are sold for less than the drugs of which they are compounded, could be purchased at a retail store. The SOVEREIGN OINTMENT for the Itch, Which is warranted a certain remedy at one application, and may be used with perfect safety by pregnant women or on infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury or any dangerous ingredient whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart which attends the application of other remedies. INFALLIBLE AGUE and FEVER DROPS, For the cure of Ague, remittent and intermittent fevers. Thousands can testify of their being cured by these drops, after the bark and every other medicine has proved ineffectual; and not one in a hundred had occasion to take more than one, and numbers not half a bottle. THE GENUINE PERSIAN LOTION, An excellent and false cosmetic, in great celebrity for clearing the skin and beautifying the complexion, and has always been found effectual in removing ringworms, tetter, pimples, &c. HAMPTON'S ELIXIR, For the cure of coughs, colds, and approaching consumptions, and a certain remedy for the Hooping Cough.
HAMPTON'S ESSENCE and EXTRACT of MUSTARD, In great repute for the cure of rheumatism, palsy, gout, sprains, white swellings, &c. DR. HANN'S GENUINE CORN PLAISTER. DR. HANN'S EYE WATER. The number of extraordinary cures recently performed by this medicine in Philadelphia, as well as other parts of the United States, render any account of its virtues now unnecessary. RESTORATIVE POWDER FOR THE TEETH and GUMS/ TOOTH ACHE DROPS, The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances. HAMILTON'S GRAND RESTORATIVE; A sovereign remedy in Nervous disorders, Obstinate Glects, Consumption, Relaxations, Flour albus, or whites, Inward weakness, &c. THE DAMASK LIP SALVE. THE PATENT INDIAN VEGETABLE SPECIFIC, For the cure of a certain dreadful disease. HAMILTON'S WORM LOZENGES. This Medicine has received the approbation of respectable gentlemen in every situation in life, and in all parts of the United States: it has had the test of six years extensive experience, and it is believed on good grounds, that nearly Two Hundred Thousand persons have received benefit therefrom—from the infant to the aged of both sexes, and under every circumstance; and notwithstanding the attempts of several envious persons to impose counterfeits on the public, yet the present demand for Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges is much greater than it has been at any former period; and it is probable that no advertised medicine ever acquired an equal reputation. It is no inconsiderable evidence of the utility of our remedies, that during the above period, numerous imitations of every article (the productions of ignorance and inexperience, urged by envy and penury) have intruded on the public, been a day, and then perished—whereas none succeeded them, which in like manner are fast descending to "the tomb of the Capulets," while our remedies become more generally used, and acquire a daily accession of well earned celebrity. To prove the impositions of worthless or dangerous preparations, purchasers are requested to remember, that an engraved label, with the signature of Richard Lee (to counterfeit which if felony) is affixed to each of the genuine medicines
