PRESLEY NEVILL. Oct. 8, 1803.
The celebrated, full bred Imported Horse
BARONET,
IS on his way from New-York to this place, where he will stand next season, and be let to mares. He has perhaps won more money than any other horse ever imported from England; he won at one time the Oatland Stakes of 1000 guineas, beating 18 of the best horses in the kingdom of Great Britain, besides a number of purses. A list of his performances on the turf, together with his pedigree, will be made known on his arrival.
Noted Imported full bred Hunter,
HIGHFLYER,

Three Hundred Dollars Reward,
WILL be paid for apprehending my young, tall, slim, negro man TOM, about twenty years of age, with two large bright
Sorrel Horses,
And the villain or villains who have stolen them, with proof to bring them to conviction. The horses are of the following description:—One of them is an uncommonly large horse, being about five and an half feet high, and very strong made, with a hollow spot on the upper part of his shoulder blade on the mounting side, about the size of a man's hand, and known in the upper country to be the effect of the disorder that is generally called the swainy, his mane hangs on both sides, he carries a light short switch tail that was formerly docked and has been nicked, has no natural white marks nor brand that is recollected, is a very fine draft horse, about seven years old, and walks, trots and canters remarkably well under the saddle, for a horse of his great weight.
The other horse is about five feet and an inch high, and lengthy made, has generally a film on his off eye, in which he is blind though the eye is not funk, and has a handsome star and narrow blaze, with one of his hinder feet a little white, and one of his fore legs appears to have been formerly cut by a hobble, his withers is thin and high, on which he has the marks of old galls and is now fresh galled by the tree of the saddle being broken under the pommel, on which the said servant rides, with a colored horse rug under the saddle; the horse walks with an unusual swing behind and very fast and pleasant to the rider, trots long, loose and uneasily, canters tolerably well, has a well hanging mane and long switch tail, which may perhaps be newly docked, and is about ten years old, and is altogether a handsome saddle horse, and draws also well.
The aforesaid servant left Charleston, South Carolina, on the 14th September, dressed in a white negro cloth round jacket, with black horn buttons and ozanburgs overalls, but took with him a brown colored tuffian round jacket and overalls, with reddish colored facings; he was to have carried the aforesaid bright sorrel horses to my place, 19 miles from Charleston, in Goose-Creek Parish and near the bridge, and being a total stranger in all other parts of the state, the presumption is, that he must have been forced off by villain or villains, in which case, on conviction of them, the above reward will be paid, if taken out of the state, and if within the state, a reward of Two Hundred Dollars on their being delivered to me, in Charleston, No. 34, Church Street, or otherwise, Fifty Dollars for each horse, and One Hundred Dollars for the said servant, who has the little toe of one of his feet off, and is of a heavy countenance, and appears dull and slow.

Blank Deeds,
On Parchment and Paper—for sale at this office.

Mr. Bradford,
I HAVE observed in your paper some publications on the propriety of establishing a tribunal, for the purpose of examining those gentlemen who feel a desire to practise medicine in this state, and that none be permitted to practise for emolument, before he obtains from that test of medical erudition, a diploma, or an acknowledgment of his fit qualification.
It has been a maxim with the people, in all ages, to use those exertions which were best calculated to procure them the means of happiness, and to enable them to pursue those objects which seemed most likely to attain the end. Nothing can be more desirable than ease, the contrast of disease; hence it becomes an object of primary importance for them to have able and learned physicians, on whom reliance may be placed, for the due execution of the part assigned them in such an important office, to guard and protect them, when assailed by disease, and to put into operation those necessary means which would be most likely to effect a restoration of health. None can be too cautious in choosing their physician—none can be too well served, nor can the health of any one be too soon reinstated: consequently, no physician can be too learned in his profession. We all will for the most eminent to attend us in our sickness, and bear imposition with impatience. That such a tribunal would be proper I infer, because the people cannot be possessed of sufficient information as to the relative merits of those who are called Doctors; and that all those who have not acquired a knowledge of those radical parts of the science of medicine, which is reduced to a certainty, and upon which all their subsequent knowledge must be established, ought to be prohibited from this assumption. The people have the means of knowing the skill of a physician, either by intuition or experience. That they have not the intuitive knowledge, all will admit. They must then depend upon their neighbor for a detail of facts, in which a physician has prescribed medicine with evident good to the sick; but whenever opinions are to be formed from the exhibition of skill by a practitioner, there will be danger to be apprehended from the means employed by the pretender, and the patient sustains an irreparable injury, at the time the people gain a knowledge of the demerit of the prescriber, by experience.
Whenever a person is set up to judge of the conduct or learning of another, or to decide in a matter of controversy, he ought to be possessed of erudition himself and correct knowledge of the subject controverted; otherwise he would not be qualified to give a just decision. If a man or judge does not know what is right or what is wrong, and decides without information, his acts may be right or may be wrong, and he is an improper judge. Where men judge of the merit of a physician, and do not know what constitutes a good one, they will not know whether he is entitled to confidence or not; to depend upon experience alone, would be fallacious evidence, for the most eminent are sometimes unsuccessful. A man should be possessed of medical knowledge, to render him a fit person to take charge of a fellow citizen when attacked by disease, and there are means of knowing the extent of this knowledge. Teachers of medicine, who have acquired knowledge think that every one, who intends to practise, should possess a knowledge of the fundamental principles of medicine for the safety of society. Mankind cannot be too well informed in any profession; but they may know too little to execute the duties with propriety, which always would be a good ground for prohibition.
If a man ignorantly deprives a lady of her husband, directly by medicine, or indirectly by withholding the proper means of relief, which possibly might be procured, her family feels the loss as sensibly as though it was done through malice—the injury done would be the same, although her conduct to the murderer might be different. All will acknowledge that ignorant pretenders are injurious to society—A question then arises, how is the evil to be remedied? Is it one of those evils that is so intimately connected with a greater good, that when we destroy the evil we destroy the good? No—the evil can be destroyed and the good increased. It is proven that people at large are not adequate to the task of telling who are learned in physic and who are not; and inasmuch as they have not this necessary ingredient, which is required to expose the ignorance of the pretender, they cannot be called the proper judges. The ignorance of the people in this point, have caused the ignoble and illiterate pretender to be substituted for the wise and eminent for a time; but it must be acknowledged that it is shameful and prejudicial to themselves. If there be a man eminent for his skill and celebrated for his learning, who is found willing to take a part in the arduous task of administering remedies for the relief of those who may be languishing on the bed of sickness, ought he not to be patronized by the people? But how are they to know his skill and ability? They are not competent to judge of the relative merits of the candidates, for years—Here let duplicity spread her veil to hide the
acts of the ignorant; and let us bury in oblivion the remembrance of the dark period when the mountebank had full power to spread death and misery among the credulous and infatuated citizens of our country. Here honor, justice and humanity all combine to require the legislature to enact a law to compel empirics to abandon the further practice of fraud and deception, the result of which must make every virtuous and feeling mind shudder; and doubtless will induce the legislative body to yield to a rational impulse of the mind, and cause them to make such provisions as will effectually prevent an increase of the evil.
Medicus asks no more to be required of medical students, or those who come to the country to practise physic, than they have thought proper to ask of those who will to practise law. If they have passed a law, which prohibits some from practising law on account of incapacity, they have prevented the people from making choice of a pleader at the bar; and if the people require a similar law for the purpose of preventing ignorant pretenders from practising physic, it cannot be more unconstitutional, nor limit the competition among physicians more than that cause has done among lawyers. Surely the people cannot complain that the legislature have been as careful of their health as their property, and surely it is as much valued by the generality of mankind. But, mayhap, the farmer was one of those meek ministers of justice, who was decorated with the mantle of authority in the memorable session of 1799, when the idea of men's becoming acquainted with the elements of every department of physic, before he should be allowed to practise, was ridiculed.
If a student ought to be qualified for that profession in which property is concerned, I ask the thinking part of the community whether there ought not to be a criterion or test whereby those who have the direction of our lives ought to be examined, and if they are not thought by this tribunal adequate to the task, and are rejected on account of their incapacity, does society suffer in any manner from the denial? Nor can this examination check emulation; but on the contrary promote it—the fact speaks loud for itself—in Maryland competition is not diminished nor choice controuled.
That the privilege to practise physic will be granted alone to the learned, we acknowledge; and we believe it proper that the ignorant should be excluded, in consequence of which the sum of danger to society will be diminished & the means from which we obtain good not curtailed.
The office of a physician is delicate and important. They have the lives of our fellow citizens at their disposal, and we have no means to call them to an account for their conduct. Society must feel the necessity as well as propriety of each practising physician being possessed of a knowledge of the rudiments of his profession, which can be ascertained by the examiners by questions and answers, as they are quite separate and distinct from the practise; at all times uniform and unchangeable, and the data upon which the superstructure is built, and upon which future eminence depends.
To think is to theorise; and happy is that man whose physician is the best theorist. Theory is the result of thought, and thought precedes prescription.
A PLANTER.
TREATY, BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES of AMERICA, AND THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.
THE President of the United States of America, and the First Consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French people, desiring to remove all source of misunderstanding relative to objects of discussion mentioned in the second and fifth articles of the convention of the 8th Vendemiaire an. 9, (30th September, 1800, relative to the rights claimed by the United States, in virtue of the treaty concluded at Madrid the 27th of October, 1795, between his Catholic Majesty and the said United States, and willing to strengthen the union and friendship which at the time of the said convention was happily re-established between the two nations, have respectively named their plenipotentiaries, to wit, the President of the United States, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate of the said states, Robert R. Livingston, minister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary of the said states, near the government of the French republic; and the First Consul, in the name of the French people, citizen Francis Barbe Marbois, minister of the public treasury, who, after having respectively exchanged their full powers, have agreed to the following articles:
ARTICLE I. WHEREAS, by the article the third of the treaty concluded at St. Idelfonso, the 9th Vendemiaire an. 9 (1st October, 1800,) between the First Consul of the French republic and his Catholic Majesty, it was agreed as follows:
"His Catholic Majesty promises and engages on his part, to cede to the French republic, six months after the full and entire execution of the conditions and stipulations herein relative to his royal highness the duke of Par-
ma, the colony or province of Louisiana, with the same extent that it now has in the hands of Spain, and that it had when France possessed it; and such as it should be after the treaties subsequently entered into between Spain and other states."
And whereas, in pursuance of the treaty, and particularly of the third article, the French Republic has an incontestable title to the domain and to the possession of the said territory. The First Consul of the French Republic desiring to give to the United States a strong proof of his friendship, doth hereby cede to the said United States, in the name of the French Republic, for ever and in full sovereignty, the said territory with all its rights and appurtenances, as fully and in the same manner as they have been acquired by the French Republic in virtue of the abovementioned treaty, concluded with his Catholic Majesty.
Article II. In the cession made by the preceding article are included the adjacent islands belonging to Louisiana, all public lots and squares, vacant lands and all public buildings, fortifications, barracks, and other edifices which are not private property. The archives, papers and documents, relative to the domain and sovereignty of Louisiana and its dependencies, will be left in the possession of the commissaries of the United States, and copies will be afterwards given in due form to the magistrates and municipal officers, of such of the said papers and documents as may be necessary to them.
Article III. The inhabitants of the ceded territory shall be incorporated in the union of the United States, and admitted as soon as possible, according to the principles of the Federal constitution, to the enjoyment of all the rights, advantages and immunities of citizens of the United States; and in the mean time they shall be maintained and protected in the free enjoyment of their liberty, property, and the religion which they profess.
Article IV. There shall be sent by the government of France a commissary to Louisiana, to the end that he do every act necessary, as well to receive from the officers of his Catholic Majesty the said country and its dependencies, in the name of the French Republic, if it has not been already done, as to transmit it in the name of the French Republic to the commissary or agent of the United States.
Article V. Immediately after the ratification of the present treaty by the President of the United States, and in case that of the First Consul's shall have been previously obtained, the commissary of the French Republic shall remit all military posts of New-Orleans and other parts of the ceded territory, to the commissary or commissaries named by the President to take possession; the troops, whether of France or Spain, who may be there, shall cease to occupy any military post from the time of taking possession, and shall be embarked as soon as possible in the course of three months after the ratification of this treaty.
Article VI. The United States promise to execute such treaties and articles as may have been agreed between Spain and the tribes and nations of Indians, until by mutual consent of the United States and the said tribes or nations, other suitable articles shall have been agreed upon.
Article VII. As it is reciprocally advantageous to the commerce of France and the United States to encourage the communication of both nations for a limited time in the country ceded by the present treaty, until general arrangements relative to the commerce of both nations may be agreed on: it has been agreed between the contracting parties, that the French ships coming directly from France or any of her colonies, loaded only with the produce and manufactures of France or her said colonies; and the ships of Spain coming directly from Spain or any of her colonies, loaded only with the produce or manufactures of Spain or her colonies, shall be admitted during the space of twelve years in the port of New-Orleans, and in all other legal ports of entry within the ceded territory, in the same manner as the ships of the United States coming directly from France or Spain, or any of their colonies, without being subject to any other or greater duty on merchandise or other or greater tonnage than that paid by the citizens of the United States.
During the space of time above mentioned, no other nation shall have a right to the same privileges in the ports of the ceded territory: the twelve years shall commence three months after the exchange of ratifications, if it shall take place in France, or three months after it shall have been noticed at Paris to the French Government, if it shall take place in the United States; it is however well understood that the object of the above article is to favor the manufactures, commerce, freight and navigation of France and of Spain, so far as relates to the importations that the French and Spanish shall make into the said ports of the United States, without in any sort affecting the regulations that the United States may make concerning the exportation of the produce and merchandise of the United States, or any right they may have to make such regulations.
Article VIII. In future and forever after the expiration of the twelve years,
the ships of France shall be treated upon the footing of the most favored nations in the ports above mentioned.
Article IX. The particular convention signed this day by the respective ministers, having for its object to provide for the payment of debts due to the citizens of the United States by the French Republic, prior to the 30th of September, 1800, (8th Vendemiaire, an. 9,) is approved, and to have its execution in the same manner as if it had been inserted in this present treaty, and it shall be ratified in the same form and in the same time, so that the one shall not be ratified distinct from the other.
Another particular convention signed at the same date as the present treaty, relative to a definitive rule between the contracting parties, is in the like manner approved, and will be ratified in the same form, and in the same time, and jointly.
Article X. The present treaty shall be ratified in good and due form, and the ratification shall be exchanged in the space of six months after the date of the signature by the ministers plenipotentiary, or sooner if possible.
IN FAITH WHEREOF, the respective plenipotentiaries have signed these articles in the French and English languages; declaring nevertheless that the present treaty was originally agreed to in the French language; and have thereunto affixed their seals.
Done at Paris, the tenth day of Floreal, in the eleventh year of the French Republic, and the 30th of April, 1803. BARBE MARBOIS. ROB. R. LIVINGSTON. JAS. MONROE.
CONVENTION BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES of AMERICA, AND THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.
THE President of the United States of America, and the First Consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French people, in consequence of the treaty of cession of Louisiana, which has been signed this day, wishing to regulate definitively every thing which has relation to the said cession, have authorised to this effect the plenipotentiaries, that is to say: the President of the United States has, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate of the said states, nominated for their plenipotentiaries, Robert R. Livingston, minister plenipotentiary of the United States, and James Monroe, minister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary of the said United States, near the government of the French Republic; and the First Consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French people, has named as plenipotentiary of the said Republic, the citizen Francis Barbe Marbois; who, in virtue of their full powers, which have been exchanged this day, have agreed to the following articles:
Article I. The government of the United States engages to pay to the French government, in the manner specified in the following article, the sum of sixty millions of francs, independent of the sum which shall be fixed by another convention for the payment of the debts due by France to citizens of the United States.
Article II. For the payment of the sum of sixty millions of francs, mentioned in the preceding article, the United States shall create a stock of eleven millions, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, bearing an interest of six per cent. per annum, payable half yearly in London, Amsterdam, or Paris, amounting by the half year to three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred dollars, according to the proportions which shall be determined by the French government to be paid at either place: the principal of the said stock to be reimbursed at the treasury of the United States, in annual payments of not less than three millions of dollars each; of which the first payment shall commence fifteen years after the date of the exchange of ratifications; this stock shall be transferred to the government of France, or to such person or persons as shall be authorised to receive it, in three months at most after the exchange of the ratifications of this treaty, and after Louisiana shall be taken possession of in the name of the government of the United States.
It is further agreed, that if the French government should be desirous of disposing of the said stock to receive the capital in Europe, at shorter terms, that its measures for that purpose shall be taken so as to favor, in the greatest degree possible, the credit of the United States, and raise to the highest price the said stock.
Article III. It is agreed that the dollar of the United States, specified in the present convention, shall be fixed at five francs 3333-10000ths or five livres, eight sous tournois.
The present convention shall be ratified in good and due form, and the ratifications shall be exchanged in the space of six months to date from this day, or sooner if possible.
IN FAITH OF WHICH, the respective plenipotentiaries have signed the above articles, both in the French and English languages, declaring, nevertheless, that the present treaty has been originally agreed on and written in the French language; to which they have hereunto affixed their seals.

CONVENTION BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES of AMERICA, AND THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.
THE President of the United States of America, and the First Consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French people, having by a treaty of this date, terminated all difficulties relative to Louisiana, and established on a solid foundation the friendship which unites the two nations, and being desirous, in compliance with the second and fifth articles of the convention of the 8th Vendemiaire, ninth year of the French Republic (30th September, 1800) to secure the payment of the sums due by France to the citizens of the United States, have respectively nominated as plenipotentiaries, that is to say: the President of the United States of America, by and with the advice and consent of their Senate, Robert R. Livingston, minister plenipotentiary, and James Monroe, minister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary of the said states, near the government of the French Republic; and the First Consul, in the name of the French people, the citizen Francis Barbe Marbois, minister of the public treasury; who, after having exchanged their full powers, have agreed to the following articles:
Article I. The debts due by France to citizens of the United States, contracted before the 8th Vendemiaire, ninth year of the French Republic (30th September, 1800) shall be paid according to the following regulations, with interest at six per cent. to commence from the period when the accounts and vouchers were presented to the French government.
Article II. The debts provided for by the preceding article are those whose result is comprised in the conjectural note annexed to the present convention, and which with the interest, cannot exceed the sum of twenty millions of francs. The claims comprised in the said note which fall within the exceptions of the following articles, shall not be admitted to the benefit of this provision.
Article III. The principal and interests of the said debts shall be discharged by the United States, by orders drawn by their minister plenipotentiary on their treasury; these orders shall be payable sixty days after the exchange of ratifications of the treaty and the conventions signed this day, and after possession shall be given of Louisiana by the commissaries of France to those of the United States.
Article IV. It is expressly agreed that the preceding articles shall comprehend no debts but such as are due to citizens of the United States, who have been and are yet creditors of France, for supplies, for embargoes and prizes made at sea, in which the appeal has been properly lodged within the time mentioned in the said convention, 8th Vendemiaire ninth year (30 September, 1800.)
Article V. The preceding articles shall apply only, first to captures of which the council of prizes shall have ordered restitution, it being well understood that the claimant cannot have recourse to the United States otherwise than he might have had to the government of the French Republic, and only in case of insufficiency of the captors; 2d, the debts mentioned in the said fifth article of the convention contracted before the 8th Vendemiaire, an. 9 (30th September, 1800) the payment of which has been heretofore claimed of the actual government of France, and for which the creditors have a right to the protection of the United States: the said 5th article does not comprehend prizes whose condemnation has been or shall be confirmed: it is the express intention of the contracting parties not to extend the benefit of the present convention to reclamations of American citizens, who shall have established houses of commerce in France, England or other countries than the United States, in partnership with foreigners, and who by that reason and the nature of their commerce ought to be regarded as domiciliated in the places where such houses exist. All agreements and bargains concerning merchandise which shall not be the property of American citizens, are equally excepted from the benefit of the said convention, saving however, to such per-

sons their claims in like manner as if this treaty had not been made. Article VI. And that the different questions which may arise under the preceding article, may be fairly investigated, the ministers plenipotentiary of the United States shall name three persons, who shall act from the present and provisionally and who shall have full power to examine without removing the documents, all the accounts of the different claims already liquidated by the bureau established for this purpose by the French republic, and to ascertain whether they belong to the classes designated by the present convention and the principles established in it; or if they are not in one of its exceptions and on their certificate, declaring that the debt is due to an American citizen or his representative, and that it existed before the 8th Vendemiaire, 9th year (30th September, 1800) the debtor shall be entitled to an order on the treasury of the United States in the manner prescribed by the third article.
Article VII. The same agents shall likewise have power, without removing the documents, to examine the claims which are prepared for verification, and to certify those which ought to be admitted by uniting the necessary qualifications, and not being comprised in the exceptions contained in the present convention.
Article VIII. The same agents shall likewise examine the claims which are not prepared for liquidation, and certify in writing those which in their judgement ought to be admitted to liquidation.
Article IX. In proportion as the debts mentioned in these article shall be admitted, they shall be discharged with interest at six per cent, by the treasury of the United States.
Article X. And that no debt which shall not have the qualifications above mentioned, and that no unjust or exorbitant demand may be admitted, the commercial agent of the United States at Paris, or such other agent as the minister plenipotentiary of the United States shall think proper to nominate, shall assist at the operations of the bureau, and co-operate in the examinations of the claims; and if this agent shall be of opinion that any debt is not completely proved, or if he shall judge that it is not comprised in the principles of the fifth article above mentioned, and if notwithstanding his opinion, the bureau established by the French government should think that it ought to be liquidated, he shall transmit his observations to the board established by the United States, who, without removing documents, shall make a complete examination of the debt and the vouchers which support it, and report the result to the minister of the United States. The minister of the United States shall transmit his observations, in all such cases, to the minister of the treasury of the French Republic, on whose report the French government shall decide definitively on every case.
The rejection of any claim shall have no other effect than to exempt the United States from the payment of it, the French government reserving to itself the right to decide definitively on such claim so far as it concerns itself.
Article XI. Every necessary decision shall be made in the course of a year, to commence from the exchange of ratifications, and no reclamation shall be admitted afterwards.
Article XII. In case of claims for debts contracted by the government of France with citizens of the United States since the 8th Vendemiaire, ninth year, (30th September 1800) not being comprised in this convention, may be pursued, and the payment demanded in the same manner as if it had not been made.
Article XIII. The present convention shall be ratified in good and due form, and the ratifications shall be exchanged in six months from the date of the signature of the ministers plenipotentiary, or sooner if possible.
IN FAITH OF WHICH, the respective Ministers Plenipotentiary have signed the above articles both in French and English languages, declaring nevertheless that the present treaty has been originally agreed on and written in the French language; to which they have hereunto affixed their seals.

LEXINGTON, NOVEMBER 8.
On Thursday last the Eastern post rider arrived at this place, without the mail. He related, that about 3 miles on this side of Paris, a man on foot, called to him, and requested him to stop, as he wished him to do some business. The rider halted, and the man coming along side, seized the bridle with one hand, and with the other presented a pistol, and ordered him to dismount, which he refused. The villain then dropped the pistol, and pulled the rider off the horse, which he mounted, and rode about half a mile from the road, where he tied him, and where the rider found him without the mail bags. On Saturday the bags were found in a hollow log, near the place mentioned by the rider, with the strap cut, the contents emptied out, and the seals of about a dozen letters broken. The Post Master at this place, on behalf of the Post Master General, has offered a reward of 200 dollars for the perpetrator of the above crime.

WASHINGTON CITY, October 22.
Louisiana Treaty.
The following message was received from the President of the United States by Mr. Harvie, his secretary: To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States.
In my communication to you, of the 17th instant, I informed you that Conventions had been entered into, with the government of France, for the cession of Louisiana to the United States. These, with the advice and consent of the Senate, having now been ratified and my ratification exchanged for that of the First Consul of France in due form, they are communicated to you for consideration in your legislative capacity. You will observe that some important conditions cannot be carried into execution, but with the aid of the legislature; and that time presses a decision on them without delay.
The ulterior provisions also suggested in the same communication, for the occupation and government of the country, will call for early attention. Such information, relative to it's government, as time and distance have permitted me to obtain, will be ready to be laid before you within a few days. But as permanent arrangements for this object may require time and deliberation, it is for your consideration whether you will not forthwith make such temporary provisions for the preservation, in the mean
while, of order and tranquility in the country, as the case may require.
TH: JEFFERSON. Oct. 21st, 1803.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 15.
We have met with the following article in the London Chronicle of the 27th August. It is the first attempt which we have perceived at accounting for the visit to England of General Dumourier.
As several different reports have been circulated in consequence of General Dumourier's arrival in this country, we give the following statement as that which an intelligent correspondent observes may be relied on, and which will fully explain the cause of his visit.
During the American war, General Dumourier was commandant, or second in command at Cherbourg, in the province of Normandy. At that time an invasion of this country was a favorite object with the Government of France, and as Dumourier's military character was perfectly understood by the King, his Majesty ordered the General to digest and arrange such plans as he thought most conducive to the accomplishment of the intended enterprise. The like orders were sent to many other Officers of distinguished reputation in the French army. It happened, that Dumourier's plans and communications were preferred; but the local affairs of France were shortly afterwards deranged, and the project of course abandoned. The papers, however, were placed in the portfolio of the King; but in the event of a revolutionary convulsion, these, with other State Papers, were delivered into the War Office, and there preferred. Dumourier, not conceiving these plans had escaped the fury of the multitude, gave himself no concern about them; but having received private information when in Germany, that the King's Port-Folio, together with his former plans, were absolutely in the possession of Bonaparte, and that he proposed to follow the instructions laid down by the General, respecting the invasion of England; Dumourier instantly wrote to the Duke of Orleans, who resided in London, and requested his Highness would immediately acquaint the Government here with the whole of the project.
His letter on that occasion, we understand, will be a lasting and honorable testimony of his loyalty and good sense. He very properly observed, that what he had formerly planned was done in obedience to the command of his Sovereign, and of course no apology was necessary, even at this time, for his discharging a duty imposed on him by his Master; but as he had lived to see an Usurper seize on the Throne of France, and avow his intention of invading a country where the Princes of the house of Bourbon had found an asylum in the hour of their distress, he could not be silent at such a period, but frankly and openly discover to the government of England what he had formerly projected. This letter, we believe, was immediately shown by the Duke of Orleans to the Commander in Chief, who expressed a wish that his Highness would invite General Dumourier to this country, and under an assurance that he would be protected by Government. In consequence of this invitation, we understand the General took his departure from Germany, and arrived in London.
In February last, the British were fitting out an expedition to Port Bunder, on the Guzurat Coast, and had in contemplation the subjection of all the Northern Maharatta powers, and at that time had a large force in that country. The expedition was conducted with the greatest secrecy—news from that quarter being entirely suppressed—printers being prohibited from publishing anything from that coast in their papers. The conquest of all India worth having, is undoubtedly their ultimate intention. The English had also sent a large force against the king of Candy, in the Island of Ceylon, and daily expected accounts of the surrender of all his hereditary possessions.—The war was occasioned by some of the nations under the protection of the English being plundered by subjects of the King of Candy, and he refused, or at least neglected or evaded making ample restitution.
LOUISVILLE, October 29. Capt Clark and Mr. Lewis left this place on Wednesday last, on their expedition to the Westward. We have not been enabled to ascertain to what length this route will extend, as when it was first set on foot by the President, the Louisiana country was not ceded to the United States, and it is likely it will be considerably extended—they are to receive further instructions at Kahokia. It is, however, certain that they will ascend the main branch of the Mississippi, as far as possible: and it is probable they will then direct their course to the Missouri, and ascend it. They have the iron frame of a boat, intended to be covered with skins, which can, by crews, be formed into one or four, as may best suit their purposes. About 60 men will compose the party.

TO A PAINTER.
MASTER of the rosy art, Try thy pleasing friendly part: Paint my beauty all divine; Color you, and I'll design. Make her tresses easy lie, Softly touch'd, and black the dye. If your tint so far prevails, Paint them breathing od'rous gales. Next, her forehead, smooth and fair; Gently raise beneath her hair. Form a brow on either side; Mix them not, nor yet divide; Let no eye distinctly see Where they part, or where agree. Then her eye-lash must arise Black and circling o'er her eyes. Now her eyes your hand require; Paint them sparkling as the fire, Awful as the queen of arms, Lively as the queen of charms. Next attempt her cheeks and nose; Blend the fairness through the rose; Then her lips' persuasive grace, Softly courting an embrace. Let a thousand graces deck All her Parian-marble neck. Painter, now, to close the rest, Form a purple, slender vest, Clear, pellucid, that her skin, Half observ'd, shall lie within; Prying fancy thus may know, Wondrous beauties are below. Hold! enough! I see the fair; All her charms confest'd appear! Such the work in every feature, Voice would make it real nature.
DIVERSITY.
THE TWO JEWS.
(From a late London Paper.) TWO old Jews, who go about the streets dealing in old clothes, passing by a gentleman's stable, were so fascinated by a couple of jackets, belonging to two gentlemen, that they could not resist the temptation of adding them to their stock in trade. While they were secreting their prize, the two owners returned from a public house, where they had been drinking a pot of porter, and saw the transaction. They rushed out, seized the Israelites, locked them up in the stable, and went in quest of certain things which promised better sport than a prosecution. They then returned, tied the Jews face to face, and matting together their own beards, smeared them with warm shoe-makers wax. As soon as the wax was cooled, and a sufficient number of spectators gathered together to view this fraternal Jewish hug, the gentlemen, at intervals, applied a few pinches of strong snuff, which caused such a concussion of noses, and such sneezing and sputtering in each others faces, that while it inflicted the severest punishment on the thieves, the spectators were highly pleased with this spectacle of distributive justice.
