FOR SALE,
18,000 Acres of Land,
ON the left hand side of the three forks as you go up the Kentucky, and at their junction. This land runs along the river three miles, and nine miles back. The bottoms are rich land; the ridges are capable of producing wheat, and other small grain. The pasturage is excellent for raising flock of all kinds, as it has a plenty of cane brakes, and peavines. All along the river is the sugar tree, wild cherry, and other woods common to this country. When you go back some distance, is the pine; which produces tar, turpentine, pitch and rosin; which will finally be valuable, independent of the wood that is upon the land. There is also a rock close to low water mark; that when the water is very low, shews a salt upon its surface; and the rock itself tastes salt. There has been three water-witches (as they call them,) trying the experiment, and say, there is four feet square of very salt water at the top of the bank, which is not an hundred feet from the water; and close to it a very easy ascending hill, for several miles; and also the wood along the river. A coal bank within three hundred yards. There is also five valuable coal banks, which are near the river, with easy access to them. A coal yard and boat yard; and it is said, several salt-petre caves. The bottoms and along the creeks would produce good cotton or hemp. Lexington alone, independent of the country blacksmiths, consumes thirteen thousand bushels per annum. we will suppose Frankfort five thousand, which falls at the landing at one shilling per bushel, and twenty thousand might be sold: this might be made productive by a man of small capital. Independent of these advantages, the mouth of the three forks is the best fishing place in the State. In a small crib they can get five hundred pounds of fish in a day, and may get by a feign, five or seven hundred barrels per annum. Tobacco, flour, beef, pork, tallow, hogs' lard, hemp, cordage, whiskey, or cast iron, will be taken in payment. Part credit will be given. If the whole cannot be sold, a half will be sold, or a third. A clear and indisputable deed will be given. For terms apply to Mr. Wm. Leavy Lexington, or at this office. Lexington, December 4, 1805.
N. B. There are a number of acres of clear bottom land, and several log houses upon the above lands.

GENERAL INSTRUCTOR, Or the office, duty, and authority of Magistrates, Sheriffs, Coroners and Constables, For Sale at this Office.
The Noted Running Horse,  3 DARE DEVIL, (OR JOHNSON'S COLT.) STANDS in Lexington, near the lower end of Mr. Dodge's rope walk and adjoining Mr. J. Maxwell's field, at the white stable on the late extension of Upper-Street; to be let to mares at ten dollars the season, which may be discharged by the payment of six within the season, twenty-five cents at the stable door. DARE DEVIL is an elegant deep bay, black legs, mane and tail, full 15 1-2 hands high, was got by the old imported Don Carlos, his dam by old Harmless, his grand dam by col. Fitzhugh's noted True Whig. To say more of his pedigree I conceive unnecessary. His colts are large and very elegant, and those that have been tried, are found to be horses of great strength and activity, fine figure and gaiety and have, when grown up, commanded very high prices; Dare Devil is a horse of fine figure, and great gaiety & sprightliness, and certainly possesses the grand requisites either for the turf, saddle or harness; excellent eyes, fine limbs, strong bone, muscular strength and action equal perhaps to any horse in the United States, as will appear from the following sketch of his performance. In the fall '97, he won the Jockey Club colt's purse at Lexington; in the fall '98, he distanced the noted running horse Weazle, four miles the heats, at maj. Blackburn's course; the same fall he won a purse at Frankfort, beating several fleet horses; was brought to Lexington the next day by 12 o'clock, notwithstanding the roads were very deep and heavy, was started immediately (without being cleaned) flew the course, leaped a high fence that was put up at a short turn in the course with the intent to keep the horses from flying off the course, was leaped back, saved his distance that heat, and took the purse, two miles the heats, beating col. Bobb's noted running stud horse Black Shark, and col. Ribby's Roan. In August '99, he won a quarter race for 100. at Miller's Town, carrying 200lbs. to a catch, beating col. Buckner's mare, a noted quarter nag; the same year, in September, he received a forfeit of 500 dollars, on a match with the noted running stud horse Alfred, two miles the heats; the same fall he won a purse at Danville, two miles the heats; the next week he won a purse at Bairdstown, three miles the heats, beating Black Shark, and distancing the noted horse Gold Wire, one week after walked over the course at Louisville for the the first day's purse. There are a great number of other races formerly run by Dare Devil, which he was successful in, but do not state them lest I might be inaccurate; one however I am informed of by Mr. Gatewood—a purse race, the heats, at George Town, where he more than double distanced the famous running horse Diomedes, which was then owned by Mr. Gatewood. I believe I may say with propriety, that he has run and won more races than any horse that ever run in this state. The foregoing statement of his pedigree and performance, is impartial and precise, as near as I could ascertain from good authority.
ALSO,  The High Bred Race Horse  GRAY-SQUIRREL, Stands at the same place, to be let to mares at 5 dollars the season, which may be discharged by the payment of three within the season. Twenty-five cents at the stable door. GRAY-SQUIRREL was got by the famous full bred horse Eolus, out of Capt. Prior's noted running gray mare Gade; her performance on the turf in Kentucky, is well known, she won six purse races in one season. Gray-Squirrel was started at 3 years old, for a purse at Nicholasville; he won the first heat easily, but lost the race by an accident of running against a stump. At 4 years old he won a match race, single three miles, over the Lexington track, against col. Sander's famous horse Albert, for 500 dollars, and won the race with ease. The same fall he won a purse at the Forks of Elkhorn, from several good horses. He is of a large and excellent running family of horses.  N. BURROWES. Lexington, March 3. N. B. Good pasturage for mares at a moderate price, and every attention paid to them; but will not be liable for accidents or escapes. P. S. Such mares as did not stand to the horse last season, and have not been transferred, may have a leap gratis.
CONVENTION Between the United States of America, and his highness Hamet Caramalli, Bashaw of Tripoli.  GOD IS INFINITE. Article I.

A. B. plaintiff, states, That he holds a bond or note, as the case may be, on the defendant C. D. in substance as followeth: [here insert a copy of the bond or note.] Yet the said debt remains unpaid, wherefore he prays judgment for his debt, and damages for the detention of the same, together with his costs." Sec. 2.

A copy of the petition shall be sent out, with a summons annexed thereto, requiring the defendant or defendants to appear and answer the said demand, on the third day of the succeeding term, which shall be executed by the sheriff, by delivering a copy of the petition and summons to the defendant, and each of them, if there be more than one. Sec. 4. The petition and summons shall not go to the rules, but the proceedings shall be had in court, and shall be docketed to the third day. Sec. 5. The sheriff or other officer, in his return, shall note the day or days, on which it shall have been executed; and whenever it shall appear therefrom, that it was executed ten days or more before the return day, judgment may be rendered the first term, subject to be continued for cause shown; but if the process shall not have been executed ten days before the return day thereof, a continuance shall be entered, unless a trial shall be had by consent of parties. Sec. 6. The said petition shall stand in place of a declaration—the defendants may appear and plead, and thence an issue may be joined, as in an action of debt, on such a bond or note; but if the defendant or defendants shall not appear and plead, the plaintiff may take judgment, similar to an office judgment, or at his option, may take an interlocutory judgment, and writ of enquiry, which, if practicable, may be forthwith executed, and judgment rendered thereon:—Provided however, That if the defendant or defendants at any time before the writ of enquiry shall be executed, shall appear and plead to issue, the writ of enquiry shall be set aside. Sec. 7. After the jury shall have passed, the acts of jeofails shall apply as in actions of debt heretofore. Sec. 8. Nothing in this act shall prohibit any person who shall choose to do, from suing in the ordinary way, as if this act had never passed. Sec. 9.

Art. V.

Art. VI. In order to carry into full effect the stipulation expressed in the preceding article, said Hamet Bashaw pledges his faith and honour, faithfully to observe and fulfil the treaties now subsisting between the regency of Tripoli and their majesties the kings of Denmark & Sweden, and with the Batavian republick. Art. VII.

Art. XIV. This convention shall be submitted to the President of the United States, for his ratification. In the mean time there shall be no suspension in its operations. Done at Alexandria in Egypt, February 23, 1805, and signed by said Hamet Bashaw for himself and successors, and by William Eaton on the part of the United States.
Additional article, secret. His highness Hamet Bashaw, will use his utmost exertions to cause to surrender to the commander in chief of the American forces in the Mediterranean, the usurper Joseph Bashaw, together with his family, and chief admirals, Maura Rais, alias Pety Lisle, to be held by the government of the United States as hostages, and a guarantee of the stipulations entered into by convention of the 23d February, 1805, with the United States, provided they do not escape by flight.  To the people of the United States of America. It is known to the whole world, that the reigning Bashaw of Tripoli, Jotuf, obtained the throne by murder of our father and elder brother, and by my exile, who came next in succession. Driven by his impious and cruel usurpation, I took refuge in Egypt, where I was kindly received by the Mameluke Beys, who gave me a distinguished rank in the military service. Reposing in the security of peace, I had ceased to repine for the loss of my throne, and regretted only the lot of my unhappy subjects, doomed to the yoke of my cruel and tyrannical brother. It was at this epoch that the arrival of Gen. Eaton, gave me hopes of better fortune; and though I could not tell what were his powers, I trusted to the faith of a great people, of whom he was the ostensible representative, and threw myself into his arms. We concluded a treaty at Alexandria, a copy of which is among the papers of Commodore Barron, in the custody of his Secretary, Mr. Denison. This treaty not only stipulates the recovery of the throne for me, but also includes several advantageous articles for the United States, for which Gen. Eaton will be my voucher. Ought I then to suppose, that the engagements of an American agent would be disputed by his constituent government? I cannot suppose that a gentleman has pledged towards me the honor of his country, on purpose to deceive me. Gen. Eaton and myself, with our joint followers, had already advanced 600 miles into the kingdom of Tripoli: and a general defection had seized my brother's army, and all things prepared the protected of America, to be hailed sovereign of his usurped throne. At this juncture, a peace is concluded, in which a throne, acquired by rapine and murder, is guaranteed for its usurper; and I, the rightful, sovereign, the friend and ally of America, am left unprovided for. No article in my favour, no provision for me and my family, and no remuneration for the advantages I had forgone, in trusting to American honor. I am left in Syracuse with thirty dependents, on the pittance of two hundred dollars per month, and no prospect of future establishment. What, with the expenses of my retinue, &c. &c. I, a sovereign prince, am now reduced to the pension of 150 cents per day. I must here observe, that Mr. Eaton, whose generosity I cannot sufficiently praise, has assisted me from his own finances, else hard indeed had been my lot. When the prevalence of ages has accustomed men to the government of one, the right of a throne enters into the system of human thoughts, and that usage must have its right like others. In this situation, I appeal to the virtue, generosity and candor, of the people and government of America. I trust that a brave and free nation will interest itself in behalf of a fallen prince, who has trusted to its national honor and good faith. I trust the government will take my case into consideration, and at least send me back to Egypt, indemnified for those comforts lost, by uniting my fortune to theirs—and I am confident the American people will feel for the misfortunes of one, who has fought in the united cause of their interest, and his own right.

LEXINGTON, MARCH 15.
By this day's mail we have received Philadelphia papers to the 27th February. They contain nothing direct from the seat of war in Germany, no vessels having arrived from Europe with later accounts than before received. Of course, agreeably to the present arrangement of the post office department, another week must elapse before public anxiety can be relieved, relative to the final termination of the grand battle. Why the United States should be at the expense of sending the mail from the eastern states twice a week to Wheeling, and twice a week from Chillicothe to Frankfort, when the communication between Wheeling and Chillicothe is but once a week, is something mysterious. The other mails which arrive at this place are very irregular. Although the present season is as fine as possible, we had no southern mail this week. We hope our representatives in congress will pay some attention to this department.
A bill is before congress laying a tax of ten dollars on each slave imported into the United States.
To S. H.
The Editor of the Palladium would have cheerfully published the vindication of Judge Easton, which appeared in the Kentucky Gazette extra, of the 30th of January last, but for the following reasons. He did not select from other papers the attack on the Judge. It was originally communicated to him for publication, and paid for. The extreme length of the vindication was such as to render its insertion in the confined limits of a weekly paper very inconvenient, at a time when intelligence of the highest importance and deepest interest to the community at large, was arriving by every mail. Besides, if the Judge or his friends deemed it an essential matter that his defence should appear in the paper, in which he was attacked, they should have sent it forward in due time, accompanied with the expense of publishing it in a supplement. Having made choice of a different medium for that purpose, without any grounds for supposing that the columns of the Palladium were closed against them, the Judge and his friends must excuse the Editor for not consenting to become the dull echo of a contemporary print.
Frankfort, March 9, 1806.
Extract of a letter to the editor, dated St. Louis, Feb. 20, 1806.
THE situation of this territory at present, is so truly odious and alarming, I cannot forbear mentioning to you some of the strange occurrences that have transpired with in the last few weeks.
When governor Wilkinson first came to this territory, he entered upon the administration of its government with the high toned declaration that he would put his foot on all party spirit. But instead of doing so, he immediately put himself at the head of one party, to persecute the other with the greater rigour. He was not long here, before he was won over by the adulations and flatteries of the French party; and he immediately denounced the Americans of Louisiana, as the emptying of our jails in the United States.
For a few weeks past, this territory has been the verriest bot-bed of contention and horrible confusion, that ever affected any part of the United States. Acts of violence have been resorted to by the friends of governor Wilkinson, to punish those who have dared to speak disrespectfully of him, or disapprobatory of his administration. We go constantly armed, and expect an enemy in every political opponent we meet in the streets. We are not safe even in the sanctuary of private retirement. The sacred laws of hospitality, as well as those of the territory are daily violated in the most shameful and alarming manner. We are little better than in a state of civil war.
These are a few of the blessings of a strong government in Louisiana; and the effects of concentrating the military power of the U. S. and the civil authority of their territory in the hands of one man. Permit me to assure you, that this is doubtless one of the most unfortunate appointments, that has ever been made in the U. S. All the difficulties that so severely assail this distracted territory, may be traced up to this source. Our disputes previous to the 4th July last, were inconsiderable, and marked with coolness and
moderation. They were probably the unavoidable effects of a sudden change of government, and the intermixture of jarring habits, manners and customs. They were disgraced by no acts of violence, outrage or bloodshed. But since that era, this territory has become the most odious place within the limits of the United States. It is at the peril of a man's life to speak of any part of gen. Wilkinson's administration and conduct in terms of disapprobation. Whole hosts of young officers are at all times ready to resent any insult and revenge every injury which he imagines he may have received.
But sir, this is not all. His own relations appear to be foremost on the list of those who run into these acts of violence and outrage, to defend his administration. It is not sufficient for him to displace from office those who think differently from him, and venture to oppose his acts of injustice and wrong; but his friends must beat, wound and horsewhip them, as well under their own roofs, as in the houses of those who are abused. A few days since, his son and aid-de-camp, lieut. James B. Wilkinson, accompanied by another young officer, entered the apartment of a gentleman in this town, after night, and being armed with swords and pistols, demanded of him a certificate that he had never spoken disrespectfully of gen. Wilkinson, and declared that unless he immediately complied with the demand, he should never rise from his seat again. This is truly the reign of terror.
I cannot give you a more correct idea of the lamentable situation of this territory, than is contained in the following extract of a letter, written by a gentleman at the Mines to his friend in this place:
"Permit me to sympathize with you on the degeneracy of the times, and assure you that whilst I regret your removal from office, it does not appear strange; for that patriotism and the administration of this unhappy territory, should act in unison, is impossible. The people in this part of the territory are nearly oppressed sufficiently to rise in arms. The country is in a general state of warfare I assure you."
"The very men who have signed a state petition or recommendation of gov. Wilkinson, assert that his conduct has been unwarranted by law or justice, and declare that Mr. Murphy, who carried round the petition, &c. proclaimed, that every man who refused to sign it, would have his name taken down, and that when he laid in his claim before the commissioners, he would be known. That they had been induced to sign it through fear, and more particularly as Murphy told them, he had the petition from major Penruddock, one of the commissioners. He also said that such as had no land, that is, had settled in the country since the time required by the act of congress, would (provided they signed it) have lands provided for them by the governor. Their signatures then have been the effects of terror."
"A few days since, I received an anonymous letter, stating that information had gone in to the governor, that I was conspiring against the public weal, and that I must take care how and to whom I expressed myself. He then declared his friendship for me; said he was afraid to sign his name, least it should mislead and prove his ruin. He advised me to be on my guard, for that I was in danger.—Should villainy cause my assassination, it may; for by Heavens I'll not desert my republican sentiments. If they think to crush me, to kill me, let them: for I am not quite so timid as to be frightened, nor will terror serve to appal me."
But sir, this letter in a free government, is such a curiosity, that I cannot resist the impulse I feel to give it to you verbatim, which follows in these words:
"January 21, 1806. "Mr. —, This is to inform you that there is information gone in to the governor, respecting you, therefore, my friend, take care of yourself, for there are people watching you. Take care what you express to any man. Opportunity will not allow me to sign my name to this instrument of writing, but sir I know your innocence, and these lines may be miscarried from your friend, whose affections you have gained by your goodnes. Remember the man, that man, the stranger, at the old mines that slept with you two nights."
Great Western Turnpike. An act authorizing the governor to
incorporate a company for making an artificial road from the bank of the river Susquehanna, opposite the borough of Harrisburg to Pittsburgh, has passed the legislature of Pennsylvania, and been approved by the governor.
BOSTON, Feb. 19.
We understand a schooner has arrived at Duxbury, in 50 days from Liverpool—her papers and letters will, it is presumed, be up to-morrow. (This day.) She will probably bring dates to the latter end of December.
NEW-YORK, Feb. 23.
A letter from St. Croix, dated Jan. 22, received at Philadelphia, says, that the French had captured St. Bartholomews, and were preparing to attack St. Croix. The militia, &c. of the island were under arms, to repel the assault. We place no faith in the above reports.
One of our Jamaica papers of the 20th ult. contains the following article:—
"By a Portuguese vessel, arrived at Barbadoes from Rio-de-la-Plata, information was received, that Buenos Ayres had been taken by Sir Home Popham, and Sir David Baird, without any loss on our part."
Buenos Ayres is situated on the Southern or Ethiopian Ocean, long. 58, 31, W. and lat. 34, 35, S. It is seated on the Rio-de-la-Plata, 50 miles from the Ocean, though the river there is 21 miles in breadth. It is well fortified, and thither is brought a great part of the treasures and merchandise of Peru and Chili, which are exported to, and forms the finances of the Court of Spain. It contains above 3000 houses, and 30,000 inhabitants, Spaniards and native Americans. It certainly is an acquisition of great importance.
The necessary arrangements are making, under the order of Sir Sidney Smith, for a speedy and spirited renewal of his attempt against the Boulogne Flotilla. Capt. Secombe is said to have suggested a mode of discharging the rockets from common boats.
Extract of a letter from a respectable house in Amsterdam, dated Dec 10.
"All is war to day. It is said that Bavaria is to become a kingdom; that Tyrol is to be added to it; that Poland is to be restored to a kingdom; that Hungary is to become an independent State, and will choose its own king. These are Napoleon's terms of peace. Time must develop the whole."
Last Saturday it was said, that the preliminaries were signed between Austria and France, and every thing seemed to indicate the authenticity of this intelligence—but now all is warlike again, and stocks have fallen; some earnest fears are entertained on the approach of the Russians, English, Swedes and Prussians, from the Hanoverian country, in consequence of which, our frontiers are to be lined with troops. There is hardly any demand for coffee, which article is more likely to fall than rise.
They say an army of 140,000 men is collected in Brabant, to oppose the Russians, English, Swedes and Prussians, collecting in Hanover.
Many of your vessels carried into England have been released, and have arrived safe."
February 25.
Extract of a letter from Wilmington, N. C. dated Feb. 25. "The dreadful cry of fire awoke us about 4 o'clock this morning, since when I have not sat down until now and at the same time in the afternoon. It broke out in a bake-house next door to Dr. Hill's, exactly where the great fire commenced in 1797, and so rapid were the flames, that by day light all that square was entirely consumed, with the one from Watkins's corner down to the water edge. The court-house was on fire a number of times. Several houses were blown up in hopes to arrest the progress of the flames, but all to no purpose. Never did I see a more awful conflagration, and so great a number of distressed objects as the streets were crowded with this morning."

The brig Fame, Reed, from Cork which arrived at Trinidad the 20th inst. fell in with a French fleet of 11 sail of the line, near the Western Islands, steering for the West Indies. The Fame escaped by some vessels heaving in sight, to which the fleet gave chase.

For people to want something for their money they pay, A mare to be with foal, I will ensue For twelve bushels of wheat, which is low I'm sure;
It is my choice to deal in that way, As I am willing you should have something for your pay; But if any one choose to put by the season,
I think eight bushels of wheat is not out of reason— Each delivered at William Shreeve's mill, remember,
By the last day of next November. Great allowance will be made for cash, in each case,
If paid down before you leave the place. If you choose to pay corn within the season,
Deliver it to me, and I'll allow a price in reason. If any wish to put by the single leap, They must pay nine shillings before they leap.
Some other bargains may be made, If my friends choose to pay in any other trade.

ABSENCE.
By a Young Gentleman.
Tho' torn from all my bleeding heart holds dear, From all that's lovely, all that's good combin'd, In absence doomed to drop the silent tear, And sigh unconscious to the passing wind.
Tho' 'twixt my fair and me loud billows roar, And oceans often swell in briny tide: Yet all the sea that lies between us shore to shore, Could never yet two loving hearts divide.
Weak is that flame that absence can remove, Some lawless passion of untam'd desire: Absence gives fuel to a generous love, And gently fans the never-dying fire.
