FOR SALE,
18,000 Acres of L. 1, 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 stock 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 clear 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 sein, 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.
NOTICE.
N. B. There are a number of acres of clear bottom land, and several log houses upon the above lands.

The Noted Running Horse, 2 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 oil imported Don Carlos, his dam by old Harmless, his granddam by col. Fitzhugh's noted True Whig. To say more of his pedigree I conceive unnecessary. His costs 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. Risby'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 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 Cade; 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 ran a match race, single three miles, over the Lexington track, against col. Sanders'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 8.
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.
TWENTY-FOURTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
In the Calle of Sedoenbrun, November 25.
Gen. Milhaud, commanding the advanced corps of marshal Breyoult, has taken 195 pieces of cannon, with all the provision waggons and 400 men. Thus almost the whole of the artillery of the Austrian monarchy is in our possession. The palace of Schoenbrunn, in which the emperor resides, was built by Maria Theresa, whose portrait is to be seen in almost every apartment. In the cabinet which the emperor now occupies, is a marble statue of the empress. The emperor on seeing it, observed, that if that great queen was yet living, she would not let herself be governed by the intrigues of such a woman as madam de Colteredo. Constantly surrounded as she was always by the great men of her nation, she would have known the will of her people. She would not have permitted her provinces to be ravaged by Cossacs and Moscovites. In debating on a war with France, she would have not consulted with such a courier as Cobentzel, who, by far too well acquainted with the intrigues of his court, fears to displease a strange woman, shamefully invested with an influence which she abuses—nor by such a writer as Collembach—by a man, in fine, as universally detested as Lambert. She would not have given the command of the army to such a man as Mack, appointed not by the will of the sovereign, not by the confidence of the nation, but by England and Russia.
All the columns of the army are making rapid marches, and are already in Moravia, and many days march from the Danube. A patrol of cavalry has already arrived at the gates of Presburg, the capital of upper Hungary. It intercepted a courier from Venice, while he was attempting to enter that city. The dispatches of that courier inform that the army of prince Charles was retreating in great haste, in hopes of arriving in time to succour Vienna. Gen. Marmont informs that the corps which had advanced as far as Odenburg, by the valley of Menth, has evacuated that country, after breaking down all the bridges, a precaution which saved it from immediate pursuit.
The gen. of division, Clarke, has been nominated governor general of Upper and Lower Austria. The counsellor of state, Daru, has been appointed intendant general of the same.
Twenty-Seventh Bulletin.
Porlitz, Nov. 19, 1805. Since the battle of Zunterlindoff, the enemy has continued to retreat with the utmost precipitation. Gen. Sebastiani, with his brigade of dragoons, pursued them sword in hand. The vast plains of Moravia have favored his pursuit. The 18th on the heights of Porlitz, he cut off the retreat of several corps, and during the day, made 2000 Russians prisoners. Prince Murat entered Brunn, the capital of Moravia, at 3 o'clock P. M. still in pursuit of the enemy, who evacuated the city and the citadel; the latter is a fine structure, and capable of sustaining a formal siege. The emperor has removed his head quarters to Porlitz.
Marshal Soult, with his corps of the army is at Remsitshitz. Marshal Lannes is before Porlitz.
The Moravians entertain even a greater hatred against the Russians, and stronger friendship for us than the Austrians. The country is beautiful, and much more fertile than Austria. The Moravians were astonished on beholding in their immense plains, the inhabitants of the Ukraine of Kamchatka, and of Great Tartary, the Normans, the Gascans, the Bretons, &c. come among them, to cut each others throats without their country having any thing in common with them, or any immediate political connexion; and they have good sense enough to declare, bluntly, that human blood is a commodity of traffic in the hands of the English. A wealthy Moravian said lately to a French officer, in speaking of the Emperor Joseph II. that he was the friend of the peasantry, and that if he were alive, he would have freed them from those feudal taxes which they now pay to the religious convents.
We have found at Brunn, 60 pieces of cannon, 300,000 lbs. powder, a great quantity of wheat and flour, and considerable magazines of clothing. The emperor of Germany has returned to Olmutz. Our posts are within one march of that place.
Twenty-Eighth Bulletin.
Brunn, Nov. 21, 1805.
The emperor entered Brunn on the 20th, at 10 o'clock A. M. A deputation from the states of Moravia, at the head of which was the bishop, came to meet him. The emperor visited the fortifications, and ordered that the citadel should be fortified, in which were found upwards of 6000 muskets, great quantities of ammunition of every kind—among others 400,000 lbs. of powder. The Russians had united all their cavalry, which composed a corps of about 6000 men, and were disposed to defend their position at the junction of the roads between Brunn and Olmutz. Gen. Walther, obliged them by different contests, to quit the ground. Gen. Murat dispatched to his assistance D'Hautpoul's division of cuirassiers, and 4 squadrons of the imperial guards. Though our horses were much fatigued, the enemy were attacked & put to flight—they left more than 200 choice dragoons on the field of battle, and 100 horses fell into our hands.
Marshal Bessiers, commanding the imperial guards, at the head of four squadrons of the guards, made a brilliant attack, which threw them into confusion and put them to rout. Nothing could form a greater contrast than the silence of the guards of cuirassiers, and the uproar of the Russians.
This body of Russian cavalry is well mounted and well equipped, & has shown great bravery and resolution; but they did not appear to be well acquainted with the use of their sabres; and in that point our cavalry has a great advantage. We had some men killed and 60 wounded, amongst whom are col. Duroffel, of the 16th chasseurs, and col. Burdon, of the 11th dragoons. The enemy has fallen back several leagues.
Twenty-Ninth Bulletin.
Brunn, Nov. 23, 1805.
Marshal Ney has occupied Briexen, after having taken many prisoners from the enemy. He found in the hospital a great number of sick and wounded Austrians. On the 17th November he made himself master of Clauzen and Botzen.
Gen. Jellachich, who defended the Voralberg, has been cut off. Marshal Bernadotte occupies Iglau. His troops have entered Bohemia.
Gen. Wreden, commanding the Bavarians, has taken a company of Austrian artillery, 100 horses, 50 cuirassiers, and several officers. He took a quantity of grain, and many carriages laden with the baggage of several regiments and Austrian officers.
The adjutant commander Maison, has made 200 dragoons of La Tour and cuirassiers of Hohenlohe prisoners, on his way from Iglau to Brunn. He attacked another detachment of 260 men, and made 50 prisoners.
Information has reached us from Olmutz. The court has evacuated that place and retired to Poland. The weather begins to be rigorous. The French army has taken up its quarters—its van is supported by Brunn, which is a strong place and which they are now busy in putting into the best state of defence.
NINTH BULLETIN OF THE ARMY OF ITALY.
Head-quarters at Gorizia, Nov. 26.
The gen. in chief being informed by different advices and particularly by a letter from gen. Vial, ambassador from his imperial and royal majesty at Benne, that a corps of the Austrian army which was cut off by the manoeuvres of the grand army was about to defend the mountains of the Tyrol, he expected that this column would endeavor either to cross the line of the army in order to reach the defiles of Venice, and unite with the troops which occupy that place, or passing by Beltry and Belluno, to join the wreck of prince Charles's army at Leybach. In the first hypothesis, the position of the right wing which he had left to observe Venice, under the command of lieut. gen. Gouvion St. Cyr, satisfied him that the enemy would not attempt that route with impunity. In the second hypothesis, having ordered the two Pontebas and Chiuse de Piaz to be occupied by several regiments of cavalry and infantry, under the command of genl's of brigade Lacour and Lanham, whichever road the enemy should take, the position of the army on the Isonzo, was such as to enable it to detach a considerable force to cut him off. In the mean time the advanced guard continued its march to Leybach. The column consisting of about 7000 foot and 1200 horse, commanded by prince Rohan, advanced on the 23d to attack Bassano. It easily captured the weak detachment of 150 men which formed its garrison, and directed its march to Calle Franco.
As soon as lieut. gen. St. Cyr was informed of this circumstance, judging that the object of the enemy was to cross out of the force whereof, he
most undoubtedly have been ignorant, he made arrangements to give it a warm reception. The gen. in chief who had anticipated every thing, felt perfectly easy; but in order to leave nothing to the hazard of events, he ordered the division of the grenadiers, commanded by gen. Partonneaux, the two brigades of division, Duhesme and Seras, the division of cuirassiers and one brigade of dragoons to reach Piave by forced marches. The grenadiers were to descend the Piave by Il Bello del Mantello, to turn the position of Bassano. The division Gardanne marching at the same time to Venzone, was to reinforce the detachment sent to the two Pontebas, to cut off every avenue of retreat from the enemy in case he should have taken the route by Belluno and Pieve di Cadore, to reach Vlach and join prince Charles at Leybach. The gen. in chief had left the residue of the army at the Isonzo, under gen. Duhesme, and proceeded himself to the Piave to superintend the movements which he had ordered to be made.
Lieutenant general St. Cyr manoeuvred to reconnoitre and impede the enemy; he formed a column from the divisions Regnier, Lecchi and Verdier, and remained himself at Campo San Pietro, with the Polish regiment commanded by gen. Peyri. Gen. Regnier at Navara had orders to march on the 24th at day break to Calle Franco. The enemy, perceiving their dangerous situation, commenced the attack. They precipitated themselves on the division Regnier, who received them with great bravery, and soon threw them into confusion. They returned several times to the charge, but were always opposed by the same bulwark. In the mean time lieut. gen. St. Cyr made a movement with the Polish regiment, and turned the enemy. It was now nothing but a complete flight as far as Calle Franco, where our troops arrived as soon as the Austrians. All that had not either been killed on the field of battle, or taken prisoners, offered to capitulate—6000 infantry and 1000 horse fell into our hands; which were many more than we had opposed to them of effective men; but they perceived, as the necessary result of our arrangements, that their loss would be inevitable. Gen. prince Rohan, who commanded the corps, several colonels and many other officers, are among the number of our prisoners—6 colors and one standard—12 pieces of cannon, all their baggage waggons, and an immense quantity of baggage are the result of our victory. Two standards were lost on the field of battle. We have not to lament the loss of 100 men in this engagement; and have recovered the garrison captured by the enemy at Bassano.
A corps of Croats, which it is presumed made part of the above column, remains at the gap of the mountains; and it will be difficult for it to escape us; the measures which have been taken, ensure it a similar fate.
Lieut. gen. Gouvion St. Cyr has evinced great skill in these manoeuvres. He gives great credit to the chief of battalion, Regnier; he also makes honorable mention of the chiefs of the 10th and 56th regiments of the line—the chief of battalion, Clavel, commanding the Swiss battalion—the chief of brigade, Grabinski—and the chiefs of battalion, Bialowski and Clopski.
The general of brigade, Lacour, is at Villach; he is pushing his advanced posts to Clagenfurt, and is endeavoring to open a communication with the grand army.
The advance-guard under gen. Espagnie, makes fresh prisoners every step. The roads to Idria and Leybach are covered with dead horses, blown up ammunition waggons, and thousands of scattered cannon balls.
CORRESPONDENCE
Between James Madison, Esq. Secretary of State of the United States, and the Marquis de Cossa Trujillo.
NO. I. Department of State. Jan. 15. 1805.
SIR, In consequence of the just objections which your conduct has furnished against your continuance here, as the organ of communication on the part of his Catholic majesty, it was signified at Madrid, in the month of April last, through the mission of the United States there, that the substitution of another was desired by the president. In reply it was intimated by Mr. Cevallos, that as you had yourself expressed a wish and obtained permission to return to Spain, the purpose might be accomplished without the necessity of a recall, and that such a change in the mode would be agreeable to your government; in a spirit of conciliation the arrangement proposed by Mr. Cevallos was admitted, and it was not doubted, that it would without delay be carried into effect. It is seen therefore, not without surprise, that at this late day, you should have repaired to the seat of government, as if nothing had occurred rendering such a step improper. Under these circumstances, the president has charged me to signify to you, that your remaining at this place is dissatisfactory to him, and

that although he cannot permit himself to insist on your departure from the United States during an inclement season, he expects it will not be unnecessarily postponed after this obstacle shall have ceased.
I am charged by the president, at the same time to let it be fully understood, that the considerations which have led to this explanation, being altogether personal, they are perfectly consistent with the ready admission of a successor, and with all the attention, which can be due to whatever communications his Catholic majesty may please to make with a view to cultivate harmony and friendship between the two nations.
I have the honour to be, sir, With consideration & respect, Your most obedient servant. (Signed) JAMES MADISON The Marquis de Casa Trujillo.
NO. II.—(TRANSLATION.) Washington, June 16. JAMES MADISON, Esq. SIR,
I have just received your letter of yesterday in which you are pleased to tell me, that from the president of the United States having solicited my recall in Madrid, in the month of April last, he has heard with surprise my arrival in this city, the residence of government, and that he thinks this step of mine improper, adding at the same time, that my stay here would be dissatisfactory to him. As the object of my journey is not to hatch plots, to excite conspiracies, or to promote any attempt whatever against the government of the United States, and as hitherto, I have not either directly or indirectly committed acts of a similar tendency, which alone could justify the tenor and object of your letter, to which I reply, my arrival here is an innocent and legal act, which leaves me in the full enjoyment of all my rights and privileges, both as a public character or a private individual.—Making use therefore of these rights and privileges, I intend remaining in the city, four miles square, in which the government resides, as long as it may suit the interest of the king my master, or my own personal convenience; I must at the same time add, that I shall not lose sight of these two circumstances as respects the period and season in which our mutual desires for our departure from the United States are to be accomplished.
In regard to the objections which this government, in its wisdom is pleased to call just, respecting the demand of my removal, I shall take the liberty of observing that although this government no doubt, may have had their reasons to solicit it, they hitherto have forgotten to communicate them to mine; for Mr. Monroe's official letter to Mr. Cevallos on this subject, merely contains vague, undetermined general assertions, destitute of any proof whatever. It is true that he alleges an attempt of mine to bribe a citizen of the United States; but it is equally so that as this assertion of government is grounded on a reference to a testimony already proved incorrect, I may without wounding the feelings of, or be wanting in that respect which I owe this administration, permit myself to call it false and calumnious, independent that in the letter I had the honour of writing to you, sir, early in September 1804, in which this business was completely and satisfactorily explained. If, in fact, the editor of the Commercial Register, could ever be considered as an organ of truth, what would the American people think of their chief magistrate, of the heads of departments, and of the acts of this administration? It is not my intention to endeavour to change by this explanation the disposition of this government towards my person; my object is solely to fulfil the duty my situation imposes upon me, of again repelling an imputation which is as improbable in itself as it is calumnious against both my public and private character.
I shall therefore, sir, communicate your letter of yesterday to my government. I shall also inform it of my answer thereto, and whenever by the order of the king my master, I am to return to Spain, I shall quit the United States with sentiments of affection towards a virtuous people, in whose bosom I have lived ten years, with the intimate testimony of having never committed any grounded offence against their government, and above all, with the consoling satisfaction of having employed all my zeal and feeble talents
in defence of the rights and interests of the best of kings.
I have the honour to be, sir, &c. (Signed) El Marquis de Casa Trujillo.
NO. III.—(TRANSLATION.) Washington, Jan. 19. SIR,
Having gone through the personal explanations, which for just motives I was compelled to enter into in my first answer to your letter of the 15th inst. I must now inform you, sir, what otherwise would then have constituted my sole reply; namely, that the envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of his Catholic majesty, near the United States, receives no orders except from his sovereign. I must also declare to you, sir, that I consider both the style & tenor of your letter as indecorous, and its object an infraction of the privileges attached to my public character. This violation of the diplomatic rights and privileges, as inexplicable in itself as it is ill grounded, requires on my part the most solemn protest against your said letter, its style, and the intent with which it was addressed to me.—I do therefore protest in the most solemn manner I possibly can, against this improper step of yours, sir; a step which, under the existing circumstances, is as contrary to the diplomatic laws and usages, as it is to the spirit of the constitution and government of this country; and in order that your conduct, sir, in this case, may not in any manner affect the privileges of the body to which I have the honour to belong, I shall immediately transmit to the other members thereof, accredited near the United States, a copy of your said letter, of my first answer, and of this my protest, that on their part they may make the proper use thereof, and also that it may always appear that if there has existed on the part of this administration, part of this administration, an arbitrary determination to violate the rights of embassy, respected by every civilized nation, there did also exist in me the just resolution of repelling any similar attempt.
I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) El Marquis de Casa Trujillo.

In consequence of the non-arrival of the Eastern Mail, due this morning, our readers will have to remain in suspense until Saturday, for the final issue of the great battle fought about the first of December, between the grand French and allied armies. We count certainly on being able to give some satisfactory accounts on that day. This day's Gazette, however, will not be found uninteresting.
It is stated in our latest papers, that the people of Poland, taking advantage of the present troubles in Europe, have reared the standard of insurrection; hoping to obtain their national liberty and independence once more. Kosciuszko is said to be concerned in it.
ASSASSINATION.—An attempt has been made to assassinate Thomas Paine, in his house at New Rochelle in the state of New York. Last Christmas evening, Paine's two servants went to visit some of their acquaintances, leaving him and a neighbor's boy together in the house. A short time after this a musket was fired through the window, the ball narrowly missed Paine, and lodged in the opposite wall. Next day the supposed assassin was apprehended and admitted to bail. (N. Y. Commercial Adv.)
Extracts from London papers. Previous to the battle, Bonaparte, in a letter addressed to the emperor Alexander, had styled him "Sire, and brother;" the answer was addressed simply "To the chief of the French army." The emperor Alexander evinced the most invincible bravery, combined with the most entire self-possession. For six hours he was missing. The Russians depended chiefly on the bayonet, and neither gave nor received quarter.
The loss on each side is not stated, but the loss on both sides in killed and wounded is supposed to amount to fifty thousand men. Bonaparte, surrounded by his garde de corps, and Alexander at the head of his guards, were personally opposed to each other.
The emperor Bonaparte was wounded in the action, and would have been taken prisoner but for the desperate efforts of his garde de corps, who saved him at the sacrifice of most of their lives. In addition to the above, the Archduke Charles, after a most masterly retreat from Italy, was advancing by rapid and forced marches to the relief of Vienna, with an army, including the Hungarian levy, of 90,000 men. Expectation was also confidently entertained, that the king of Prussia and king of Sweden, at the head of an army consisting of Prussians, Russians, Swedes, Saxons, Hessians and English, amounting in the whole to two hundred and fifty thousand men, were already in the field, and acting against the French.

100 DOLLARS REWARD.
RAN away from the subscriber, living near Greenville, Jefferson county, Mississippi Territory, a Negro Man, named CHARLES , whom the subscriber purchased from Thomas B. Scott and Robert Scott of Jessamine county, Kentucky. He is a well made black fellow, about 24 years of age, about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, he stoops a little in his shoulders and has a soft squeaking voice. He made his first escape in September or October 1803, and was taken up in Robertson county, state of Tennessee, the 21st of July, 1804, where he remained until March 1805, at which time Robert Childress, took him on board his boat, to convey him to his owner, and brought him near the mouth of Bayou Pierre creek, where he again made his escape. His clothing at that time is not known to the subscriber. I will give the above reward to any person who will apprehend said negro out of the limits of this Territory, and will deliver him to me at my house, or Twenty Dollars for securing him in any jail, and giving me information thereof, so that I get him again; or Twenty Dollars to any person who will apprehend said negro within this Territory, and will deliver him to me at my plantation.
