ing all the windows in front were almost totally destroyed, and for most part by persons who should be patterns of good decorum and civilization, to the disgrace of the feminary to which they belong. The post office was at length obliged to fire ball, being in danger of total destruction; the marks of more than twenty shots were to be seen in the rear of the building. One of the rioters was, however, secured, and it is hoped will be brought to justice, particularly as he is not a person of the lower order of society. The police of the city has been railed at for suffering such outrages; but all the civil authorities, peace officers, watchmen, &c. were inadequate to disperse such multitudes of mobs. When a few of the military appeared late in the night, and patrolled, their efforts were ineffectual. The remonstrances of the lord mayor, sheriffs, and peace officers in several quarters, were useless. It is ridiculous, therefore to censure those who had it not in their power to prevent such outrages."
The noted running horse, 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 gait and have, when grown up, commanded very high prices; Dare Devil is a horse of fine figure, and great gait & 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. Bibb'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 first time'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 had been kept 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.
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.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Versailles, to the editor, dated June 8. "A melancholy affair took place at major Vawter's mill last night—A party from this place went down to the Kentucky river to fish; Absalom Ford and Stephen Ellis had a dispute—they fought two or three rounds, at length Ford stabbed Ellis under the left breast, who immediately expired. Ford has a wife and family, Ellis was a single man. I have not yet heard what the inquest have done, but Ford is in custody."

WASHINGTON, May 23. The French Official Journal, in noticing the provisions of the bill brought into the Congress of the United States, against the pressing of American seamen by the English cruisers, subjoins the following observations: "We can here perceive the energy of a nation which has some sense of her dignity. She has no navy; compared with England, she is feeble; but she is determined to make every effort to support the chances of war, to perish, if it be necessary, in defence of her honor and her rights. Well may such conduct put to the blush that other power, who, intimidated by the cannon of Nelson, destroyed the cause of nations, destroyed the charter of sovereignty, and acknowledged the legality of the tyranny of the English on the sea! These are not the paths which lead to glory. From the moment all the unprotected nations were delivered up to the oppression and the plunder of England, whose caprice
constitutes the law to which they are obliged to submit. What a difference between the successors of Catherine and that great Princess! Prussia is the only power who has not acceded to these principles, so dishonorable to royalty. Denmark defended herself in her capital, which was bombarded, exposed herself to the greatest danger; but she was under the necessity of submitting to the influence of her neighbours. It will now be the honorable distinction of America, to raise her voice, to claim with firmness the rights of all nations, and to maintain a cause, which the intrigues, the threats, and the gold of England have induced the powers of Europe to betray!"
(National Intelligencer. ) NEW-YORK, May 20.
It was publicly known in Holland, that about the latter end of March, a Courier arrived at the Hague from Bonaparte, with a letter to the Great Pensionary, wherein it was asked, what the Dutch nation would give, to be incorporated with France, or to have a French Prince at the head of the Government. The Assembly of their High Mightinesses, was thereupon called together the 2d of April, but the answer was not known the 18th.—It was generally believed, that they would desire a French Prince under certain conditions; it was thought, Louis Bonaparte would be the person.
LONDON, April 7. On Saturday we announced, that an embargo had been that day ordered on all Prussian vessels in the ports of this country. The intelligence, when it first transpired in the city, caused no little surprise, and the general question was—What can have occasioned this? It was soon made public, that Prussia, after accepting Hanover, had agreed with France to assist in excluding our commerce from the continent. Not only all the ports of Prussia are shut against us, but all which Prussia and France can influence and control, such as Bremen, &c. We understand that Hamburg is already occupied by the Prussians.
On Sunday the 30th ult. about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a sudden & peremptory order was communicated from the British Vice-Consul, desiring them to quit that place in twelve hours, and the Elbe without delay. This intimation was given in consequence of an official notice by the Prussian Consul, declaring, that all the ports of the Prussian dominions, and all other ports in the North of Europe, where his Prussian Majesty possesses any controul, were to be shut against British vessels, and British manufactures.
The consternation occasioned at Hamburg, by the resolution come to by Prussia, was very great. The boom which used every night to be shut, was on this occasion left open. Some ships failed in ballast only, one without ballast; some with all the cargoes they had carried out, others half unladen. So pressing was the order, that the officers of his Majesty's sloop Spy, which, in company with a brig cutter, had gone up the Elbe as far as Stadt, to protect the shipping coming down, declared, that any vessel left behind, later than the given time, he must burn.

All you that have my stone received And find them not to suit, I'll haul the offalls back again, And fend a fresh recruit.
Great contention long has been, Who can good water find, But I am sure although unseem, For all I am half blind.

Being now furnished with every necessary material, he will be enabled to complete any kind of work in the above line of business, in a neat and masterly style, and on the most reasonable terms.

Lexington WARM & COLD BATHS. THE public are respectfully informed, that I have, at considerable expense, in addition to my former Baths, on a permanent spring on my premises, erected three new Bathing Houses, one of which is solely set apart for the Ladies' use.
The use of Baths, warm and cold, were so general with the ancients, and particularly in warm climates, and the advantages to be derived from them, not only to persons in health as a luxury, but also in various acute diseases, where exonerating pain has been relieved, and sudden death often prevented, by the use of the warm bath alone; as well as the advantages to be derived both to children and persons of mature age, from the use of one or the other, as the facility may think adapted to their case, will, the subscriber trusts, ensure the countenance and support of the citizens and others to the accommodation he hopes his baths may afford. Himself and attendants, will, from day-break 'til nine at night, wait on gentlemen; and careful female servants are provided to attend at all times on such ladies as may be pleased to encourage the attempt he has made to add to their convenience and comfort. G. A. WEBER.
N. B. Dr. Buchanan, in England, and Count Rumford, a native of our own country, with numerous other writers of eminence, have so fully set forth the advantages of Warm and Cold bathing, that the reading of their works, it is presumed, will be amply sufficient to ensure remuneration to the owner, for the expenses incurred in the present undertaking. Persons may pay each time of bathing, or engage for the season. Lexington, 3d June, 1806.
FOR SALE, 300 acres of good second rate Land, part of a military right, nearly 70 acres thereof cleared and fenced, on which are three cabins, barn and two stables; also a spring that has yielded hitherto sufficient water the driest season; the south branch of clear creek runs through part of it, and is situate in Jessamine county, within half a mile of David Steele's mill, about four miles from Abraham Froman's ware-house and ferry. A good title shall be given to the purchaser by Thomas Steele, schoolmaster. The land can be shewn to any inclining to purchase it, by James Dean, whose farm joins the above, or Charles Williams, to whom it is rented nearly 13 months.

A generous reward will be given for the mare by Abraham Chapline. June 1st 1806. 7tch
THE way to keep the money circulating in this state, is to encourage home manufactures. The rapid importation of many articles that the citizens of this state can make equal in quality and more durable in wear, has of late became a very serious evil to the inhabitants of this western country. In the single article of Ladies' Shoes, it is estimated that not less than 20,000 dollars worth is annually imported into Lexington. The subscriber wishing to lessen the inconvenience, has commenced manufacturing Ladies' Slippers at the very reduced price of six shillings and nine pence per pair. The quality of his work, and the unusual low price, he is persuaded will secure him the patronage of a discerning public. Those merchants who have expressed a patriotic desire to encourage domestic manufactures, may now have an opportunity of sending their orders to Hugh Crawford, On Main street corner of Main Cross street. An allowance will be made to those who buy to sell again, and credit given if required, by giving approved endorsed notes, payable at the insurance office. * * * Journey men and apprentices are wanted. cotf

'Tis hoped no one will ask credit, as I shall keep no book, it will be necessary payment should be made when the truck is taken away. HUGH CRAWFORD, Main street, corner of Main Cross street.

OH! let us seek the rural mead, Where shepherds tune their vocal reed, And every plant and every tree, Shall give its treasures, Love, to thee!
OH! let us fly the noisy scene, And wander o'er the spangled green; Together cull the sweets of May, All along the flowery way.
And I'll compare the violet's blue, That's freshen'd by the morning's dew; Oh! I'll compare it to the dye Which sparkles in your azure eye!
And when the blushing tender rose, Soft blooms of nature shall disclose, Oh! I'll compare it to the lip Whose juice is nectar Love, to sip!
The lily, too, whose leaf is pale, The fairest of the fragrant vale, Oh! I'll compare its native glow To thy fond bosom's brightest snow.

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 ex- cellent for raising flock of all kinds, as it has a plenty of cane brakes and pea- vines. All along the river is the sugar tree, wild cherry, and other woods com- mon to this country. When you go back some distance, is the pine; which produces tar, turpentine, pitch and rosin; which will finally be valuable, indepen- dent 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 hund- red 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 300 yards. There is also 5 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 bot- toms and along the creeks would pro- duce good cotton and hemp. Lexington alone, independent of the country black- smiths, consumes thirteen thousand bush- els per ann. 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 capi- tal. Independent of these advantages, the mouth of the three forks is the best fishing place in the state. In a final cub they can get five hundred pounds of fish in a day, and may get by a few, five or seven hundred barrels per annum. To- bacco, 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. Leav- ingston, or at this office. Lexington, May 16, 1806. N. B. There are a number of acres of clear bottom land, and several log houses upon the above lands.
THE SUBSCRIBER
Makes & sells women's good lined and bound slip- pers at 63 3/4 a pair by retail. The quality of his work and the unusual low price, will (he conceives) secure him the encouragement of a dif- cerning public, who have annually exported from this place from 20 to 25,000 dollars a year for the article of women's shoes; by their at- forming him encouragement in this par- ticular experiment, they will soon induce other shoemakers to follow the example, and thereby stop the importation and save the money amongst ourselves.

IMPORTANT.
TO all those who wish either to become citizens or to hold lands in that delight- ful country south of Green river. The subscriber being inclined to remove to Tennessee, offers for sale, the plantation on which he now resides, together with his thousand acres of land, situated on both sides of Red river, and Big Whip- perwill, including several fine mill seats, and as valuable a body of timber as any on Red river; surrounded by barrens, some of which are equal in quality to any in Logan county; about 90 acres of cleared land, under good fence, a small apple orchard of the best fruit, a peach and cherry orchard, a fine full perfection. On the premises is a large and elegant two story Brick House, entirely new, to- gether with other necessary buildings. In point of health and beauty, this situa- tion perhaps is exceeded by none in the state of Kentucky. The plantations lay one on the north, the other on the south side of the river, a little below where the two forks unite, and just opposite the confluence of Big Whipperwill. Those streams afford water sufficient (the river in particular) all the year to support a merchant and saw mill. A considerable quantity of the timbered land is fine rich bottom. The subscriber has also for sale sundry other tracts of land in Logan county, and likewise in Christian county, one tract in Livingston county, and one on Cum- berland river, Stewart county, state of Tennessee; he has in one complete tract in Christian 15,000 acres, equal perhaps in value, to any tract in that country. It is situated on the main source of Little river, including several miles on both sides of the river, and including some fine mill seats, (this river is a never fail- ing fountain) it is situated in part about four miles below the court house, and extends from thence southwardly down the main river and the Snaking fork of said river, the distance of five miles (or more perhaps.) The subscriber has also another tract of land lying on the south side of Little river, about eight or ten miles from Cumberland river, consisting of 7800 acres, part well timbered, the remainder good level barrens. This and the other half mentioned tract, has a number of fine springs on them, and are both well calculated to form a settlement for a number of families. The former is sufficient to make a settlement for 20 families; the latter is sufficient to make 3 or 10 farms, and good settlements. The subscriber has for sale, sundry o- ther smaller tracts in Christian, all or any of which he will sell upon terms per- haps more moderate than any such lands have been sold for many years past. [The summer range in all this country is equal to any in the universe.] Indis- putable titles will be made to the pur- chases. For terms and further informa- tion, apply to the subscriber at his plan- tation, about 12 miles south of Ruff- erville. Letters addressed to the subscri- ber, [post paid] and left in the post-office at Rufferville, will be duly attended to, and answered through the medium of the mail. If part of the purchase money be paid in advance, a considerable indul- gence will be given for the remainder. BEVERLY A. ALLEN. March 23, 1806.
