The imported Stallion
Speculator,
WILL stand the ensuing season, which will commence the 1st day of March, and end the 1st day of August next, at the farm of John Breckinridge, esq. near Lexington, in Kentucky, and may cover mares at ten dollars the leap, to be paid at the stable door; twenty-four dollars the season, to be discharged any time before the 1st day of August, by the payment of twenty dollars; and forty dollars to ensure a mare to be with foal to be returned if such should not be the case, if the mare remains the property of the person who put her to the horse; with one dollar to the groom in every instance. Attested notes for the season, and insurance to be sent with the mares.
SPECULATOR
Is now rising nine years old, is a very handsome horse, near sixteen hands high, a fine bay with as many good running points as any horse on the continent, and
is well calculated to get either excellent race, saddle or carriage horses; and has established himself to be a most capital stallion, as may be seen by his colts, which are now rising one year old—his blood is unexceptionable, and of the purest kind, as may be seen by his PEDIGREE.
SPECULATOR was bred by the Duke of Bedford, and got by his favorite stallion Dragon, (now in Virginia, and covered 145 mares last season, at ten guineas per mare) who was son to Woodpecker, his dam by King Herod, a sister to Florizel, Bourdeaux, and Sting, and the dam of Portia, Narcissa, Jessica, and Tarantula; his grand dam by Cygnet, who was got by the Godolphin Arabian; his great grand dam by Cartouch, a very capital stallion; his great grand grand dam Ebony, by Childers, out of Old Ebony, by Basso, who was got by the Byerly Turk, out of Bay Peg, by the Leeds Arabian.
PERFORMANCES.
SPECULATOR has been a capital running horse—In 1798 he won once being the only time on the turf that year—in 1799, being then four years old, at the New-Market Craven meetings, he beat Mr. Watson's Young Magpie, for 100 guineas—at New-Market Second Spring meeting, he beat Lord Sackville's famous horse Sober Robin, for 50 guineas—at the same meeting he won a handicap plate, of 50 guineas each, beating six good horses, among which was the celebrated horse Aimator; the same day he received 41 1-2 guineas forfeit from Mr. Heathcote's Opposition—at the July New-Market meeting he beat Mr. Cullen's Young Spear, for 100 guineas, 7 to 4 on Speculator; at Brighton he won a handicap plate (the new course) 50 guineas each, beating Combatant, Alcot, Mr. Wyndham's horse by Fidget, Cypreis, Sifter, Midnight, Play or Pay, and Opposition; at New-Market first October meeting, he walked over for a sweep stake of 50 guineas each, Bollenamuck and Combatant fearing to run against him, paid him a forfeit; at the second October meeting he beat Mr. Wyndham's horse by Fidget, for 50 guineas, 5 and 6 to 4 on Speculator; making eight times he won this year, which is oftener than any other horse won in said year, and came in second, for a handicap plate of 50 guineas each, beating eight good horses, although he carried 7lb more than any horse that started; in 1800 then 5 years old, at New-Market Craven meetings, he beat Mr. Hayworth's Filbert for 100 guineas carrying him 7lbs. at the same meeting he won the great Oatland stakes of 50 guineas each (26 subscribers) beating Expedition, Wrangler, Herby-Laif, Stamford, Telegraphe, Antrim, and Vandall; all good horses—at the first New-Market Spring meeting, he won a sweep stake of 50 guineas each (4 subscribers) carrying 12 stone 2lbs. (ay 170lbs.) beating Lord Burford's Waymouth, with great ease, 7 to 4 on Speculator; at the second Spring meeting, he received forfeit of 130 guineas from the Duke of Queensbury's chestnut horse Eggham, carrying him 4 lbs. It must be observed, that the great Oatland stakes is considered among the first races in England; at the end of 1800 he was taken with the distemper which put an end to his racing; and was then purchased of the Prince of Wales for me; and imported from London last fall. The above pedigree and performances of Speculator, are taken from the general stud book and racing callenders of England; the authority of which has never yet been called in question, and they are always referred as authentic records upon those subjects.
JOHN HOOMES
Bowling Green, Virginia. The above horse was at our request, sent by John Hoomes esq. to this state, & will stand the ensuing season at the plantation of John Breckinridge, on North-Elkhorn, where very extensive, and excellent blue grass pasture, well enclosed and well watered, will be furnished to mares coming at a distance, gratis. The greatest care will be taken of the mares, and corn furnished if required, at the market price; but we will not be liable for escapes or accidents.
Mr. Hoomes has been in the practice for many years, of importing from England, the finest horses which that country produces; and from his character, and acquaintance with him, the most implicit reliance can be placed in any certificate he gives.
Any person putting seven mares, and becoming responsible, gets one gratis; if the horse stands in the state, and continues the present owner's, those mares that do not prove in foal, has the next year gratis, except the groom's fee.

For the Kentucky Gazette.
To ALL THOSE WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
THE detention of the vessels at the falls of the Ohio, during the past season, & the enormous expense which has in consequence been incurred to their owners, together with the evils which are thereby threatened to the commerce of the western country, should call the attention of all those concerned, to a consideration of the measures which ought to be
pursued to prevent or guard against a return of the like evils in the future.
The interior situation of the Indiana Territory, and of the states of Kentucky and Ohio, and of part of Pennsylvania and Virginia, occasion too many insurmountable obstacles to the progress of their commerce, for them to neglect those which money and labour can remove.
The commerce of the western country has, for some years, been so embarrassed, that those engaged in it, were almost discouraged from the pursuit of it; when the sudden rise of ship-building in the western parts of Pennsylvania and Virginia, gave it a life which it had not felt for years before. Now this resource does not promise to be so availing as the sanguine adventurer had promised to us. A natural impediment appears in view, which has blasted the prospects of some and may ruin the estates of others. Vessels loaded with produce are detained at the rapids of the Ohio, and must there continue the approaching season, at an enormous expense to their owners, to the ruin of that commercial spirit which promised such advantages to our country, and to the great loss of every member of the community, who depends upon the sale of his produce for many of the necessaries and conveniences of life.
This state of things, if suffered to continue, must damp the ardour of enterprise, and suspend the labours of the western ship builder. Commercial men cannot lay long out of their capital; nor will they engage in commercial pursuits when returns are uncertain, or when produce may probably lay on their hands until it is spoiled.
There were none who did not feel pleasure at the progress of ship building, or who did not believe it of the utmost importance to our country. Its effects, small as the number of vessels were that have been built, were felt in the rise of the value of produce, and in the spur given to the spirit of commerce.
Sensible of these advantages, it remains for us to inquire what must be done that we may profit by them? Intelligent men have made the enquiry and it is pretty well ascertained that an improvement can be made at the rapids of Ohio, by which vessels can pass at that place as often during the course of the year as at any other place on the river, for the sum of 20,000 dollars, a sum trifling indeed when compared with the object to be attained by its expenditure. But what if it takes ten times the sum of what consequence is it when compared to the beneficial effects to result from it or to the resources of all those people who are interested in the affair? When, too, the effects are to be to the merchant, a fair return of the capital he engages in commerce—to the farmer, a certain and beneficial sale of his produce, for which otherwise there can be no demand, and which must rot in his barn or granary for want of purchasers.
Our exporters have generally adopted the opinion, that our produce, if it even can be exported to advantage, must be exported in ships—freight being less expensive—fewer risks being incurred, and a surer and quicker return of capital to the merchant. Besides, the profit on vessels is considerable, whilst boats are worth nothing at New-Orleans.
It is now certain that ship building cannot be pursued to advantage, unless the falls are cleared. The question therefore itself upon us—can we submit to the evils which will flow from the want of vessels, better than submit to taxation for opening the falls? We surely should feel the want of commerce more than the burthen of taxation. Then we should call upon those in power, by petition or otherwise, to act, and to act immediately.
But the legislature of no one state will probably think it either just or politic, to act alone in this affair; because the people of different states being equally interested, it might be thought that all should contribute their proportion. Some idea like this prevailed, when the legislature of Kentucky, at its last session requested the Executive to correspond with the Executives of other states upon the subject. But from the coolness with which the proposition was received, and from the silence which has been observed on the occasion, it is probable nothing has been done. Besides the Executives may correspond for years before they agree on any thing, and then the affair must be reported time after time to the legislatures. Better then would it be for the different governments to appoint commissioners at once, to meet on the subject to negotiate an agreement on the subject, to assess the contributions which each should pay, and to take measures for completely carrying their agreement into execution, reporting the same to those who appointed them for their approbation and concurrence.

LEXINGTON, JUNE 12.
ON Saturday evening last twelve Chiefs, deputed from the Olage Nation of Indians, and two boys, arrived in this town, on their way to the City of Washington, on a visit to the President of the United States.
M. Chouteau, a French gentleman of the first respectability, and a citizen of Louisiana, and who has for a number of years had the exclusive privilege of trading with the Olages, has been induced by capt. Lewis to accompany them.
M. Chouteau carries with him to the President, a toad or frog, of a very curious species—its form is that of a land tortoise, very flat, covered with scales, of a dark grey color, a short tail, and a head formed like that of a buffalo, and is ornamented with six horns.
This species of frog is frequently found in the prairies within the territory of the Olage nation. They live in association with a species of ground squirrel, and a species of snake.
On Saturday night, a man by the name of Charles Mitchell, was detected passing counterfeit dollars in this town, and lodged in the county jail, from whence he made his escape, on the night following.
WE have been informed, that on the 4th instant, a Negro man was sent down into col. Johnson's salt well, at Grant's lick, on Licking river, for the purpose of bringing up a bucket which had fallen from the rope.

We are authorized to say that Col. ROBERT JOHNSON, is a candidate for Lieutenant Governor, at the next election.
We are authorized to say that Col. DUVAL PAYNE, and THOMAS B. D. Esq. are candidates in the North District, for the office of Elector, to choose a President and Vice President of the United States.

TO THE Citizens & Voters In the District on the North side of Kentucky River.
THAT the sphere of your selection may be enlarged in our republican government, I offer myself to you as a candidate for an elector of the next president and Vice-President of the U. States.
I am animated and induced to this the more willingly, when I consider that I always deprecated the unwarranted assumption and the tyrannical administration under Mr. Adams; that I was always a true friend to the mild, peaceful and economical conduct of the present administration; that I was one of the early adventurers to Kentucky, and flattered in those dangers and toils which have established our prosperity and importance.
If, Fellow-Citizens, you think proper to confer this trust upon me, it shall be my aim to speak the will of the people.
Printers in this state are requested to publish the above.
TO CORRESPONDENTS. The second number of a series of Letters, entitled 'Letters from a Farmer in Kentucky,' is received; but as a recent event in our last, announced the death of the author of those letters, we think it ungenerous to attempt to detract from his hard-earned fame.

"To soar aloft on Fancy's wing."
DESCRIPTION OF A TEMPESTUOUS NIGHT. WRITTEN BY A CAROLINIAN—ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN ENGLAND. —Ponte Nox incubat atra. Intonare Poli & crebis micat ignibus aether. Vide Aen. Lib. I.
NOW gloomy night outspreads her sable wings, And a deep silence o'er the vale is cast: Save where some solitary sheep-bell rings, Or dry leaves rustle in the boil'rous blast. Save that from yonder mournful aged yew, The moping owl just rais'd her boding screech; Or the shrill whistle of the lone curlew, Sounds o'er the windings of the sandy beach. See! the pale Cynthia darts her silver beams, The envious mists disperse, her orb unshrouds; Then on the whit'ning surge uncertain gleams Through the dark covert of surrounding clouds.
Now horror broods upon the troubled main, Fierce swelling waves roll to the pebbly shore: Thick dark'ning clouds pour down the driving rain, And angry wind like solemn thunders roar. The spirit of the tempest shouts aloud! Starting I see the foaming breakers rear! That o'er fell shoals in wild disorder crowd, Whilst peals of thunder rumble thro' the air. The storm increases, fiercer winds arise: And lo! the moon withdraws her wanted ray; Whilst vivid light'nings break the flashing skies, And dry more horror to the dreadful fray. T. R. S. "Trifles light as air."
The fair sex who are made of man and not of earth, have a more delicate humanity than we have, and pity is the most common cause of their tears. A woman is ever moved for those whom she hears lament, but a man for those whom he observes to suffer in silence.
