The famous and complete Horse, STIRLING , Never beaten but once, and then by accident.
WAS imported from London by the late John Hoomes esq. of the Bowling Green, and extraordinary to relate, he won a King's plate at four years old, and another at five. He was considered while running, by Mr. Weatherby, the author of the racing calendar, and clerk of the course at New-Market, (as will appear by a letter from that gentleman) to be, if not the first, undoubtedly the second horse in England. The celebrated horse Hambletonian (supposed by some to be his superior, and the first horse then on the British turf,) paid him a forfeit of 500 guineas: on a match over the Beacon course, [a miles 1 furlong and 138 yards] for 1000 guineas; Stirling was among the best racers that ever appeared in England; having won eleven races out of twelve, and when beaten, was undoubtedly the best horse that started, as he ran considerably off the course, and even then came in third.
STIRLING is a most beautiful bay horse, and descended from the best stock in England, as will appear from his pedigree below: he is upwards of fifteen hands and a half high, in very high form, extremely gay, with great strength and activity, and is a most capital stallion. Perhaps it may not be amiss to observe, that Stirling's racing was generally four miles, and with the best horses then on the turf: and in order to prove him a horse of great speed, I beg leave to refer the gentlemen of the turf, to the sixth volume of the Sporting Magazine, page 302 and 303, where speaking of the velocity of the Barb horses, and comparing them with the English horses, the following extract follows in page 303: "It is accordingly said, that the famous running horse Stirling, sometimes ran the first mile (of the New-Market course) in one minute, which is at the rate of 82 feet and a half in a second, an inconceivable swiftness, even supposing it a little exaggerated, as it is probable it was; but for further satisfaction, we find it confirmed by Dr. Maty. If such a velocity had continued some seconds, it might have been fairly pronounced, that the horse went swifter than the wind, it being very seldom that the most violent wind makes such way: the greatest known velocity of a ship at sea, is six marine leagues in an hour, and supposing the ship to take the third of the velocity of the wind which impelled it, the speed of that wind would not amount to 80 feet in a second." The subscriber does not pretend to say but the above account may be exaggerated, yet from a fair construction of the extract taken from the Sporting Magazine, he concludes that Stirling was selected as the fleetest horse in England, to compare his speed with that of the Barb horses.
In 1794, Stirling then three years old, won a match of 100 guineas each, at Alscot, beating Mr. Grosvenor's Victor (this was the first time he started). He afterwards won at Exham, the Magna Charta stakes of 20 guineas each, fifteen subscribers, beating with ease Mr. Durands Play-or-Pay, and three others. In 1795, when the property of E. H. Delme esq. He won a 50l. plate at New-Market, Duke's course, four miles, beating Lord Stratmore's Horatio, Lord Grosvenor's Lilliput, and Mr. Girdler's Bishop Blaze. He won the Jockey Club plate for four years old, (round course) four miles, beating the duke of Grafton's Minton, Lord Clermont's Repeater, and Lord Grosvenor's Capuchin. He received a forfeit of 75 guineas from Mr. Rutten's filly at Epsom, and won the king's plate at Ipswich. In 1796, he won at New-Market the second class of the Oatland stakes, beating Mr. Wilton's Gannet, Lord Grosvenor's bay colt by Potsoo, out of String, Mr. Bott's Totteridge the duke of Bedford's Brats, Lord Egremont's Fractious, and Lord Darlington's Albourne. He afterwards ran with the winners of the other two classes, for the main of the Oatlands, which he also won, beating Lord Teynham's Virgo, and Lord Grosvenor's Lilliput. The same year he won the king's plate at Burford, beating Mr. Bott's Totteridge. In 1797, Stirling beat Lord Sackville's Kiteat, a match at New-Market, for 300 guineas each: received forfeit from Mr. Henry Vane Tempest's Hambletonian, in a match over the Beacon course for 1000 guineas, half forfeit; won a sweepstakes, of 100 guineas each, (seven subscribers) beating Lord Darlington's St. George, and others, Duke's course, (four miles.) He was lamed before his next engagement, and has not started since.
The above horse will stand the ensuing season (which will commence the 20th inst. and end on the first day of August following) in Lexington, and cover mares at thirty dollars the season (which may be discharged with twenty dollars paid within the season) with one dollar paid to the groom for each mare when put to. To insure a mare with foal, fifty dollars, to be returned if such should not be the case if the mare remains the property of the person who owned her when put to the horse. Attended notes for thirty dollars the season, or fifty for an insurance, to be sent with the mares, payable on or before the 15th day of October next.
Good and convenient pasturage is provided for mares coming from a distance, gratis. They will be grain fed if required, at a moderate price. Great care and attention will be given to prevent accidents and escapes, but no liability. Wm. T. BANTON. Lexington, March 7th, 1806.
I hereby certify, that Stirling was bred by me, and was got by Voluntee (one of the best sons of Eclipse) his dam (Harriet, by Highflyer, his grand dam by Young Cade, his great grand dam Old Fashion by Second, out of the dam of Old Sol; he was got by Fox, her dam by Sir B. Banton, grand dam by the duke of New-Castle's Turk, Byerly Turk, Toilet, Barb, Paces's white Turk, out of a natural Barb mare. THOMAS STIRLING.
The Noted Running Horse, DARE DEVIL, (CORJOHNSON'S COLT.) STANDS in Lexington, near the lower end of Mr. Dodge's rope walk and adjoining Mr. J. Maxwell's field, at the white stable on the late extension of Upper-Street; to be let to mares at ten dollars the season, which may be discharged by the payment of six within the season, twenty-five cents at the stable door. DARE DEVIL is an elegant deep bay, black legs, mane and tail, full 15 1-2 hands high, was got by the old imported Don Carlos, his dam by old Harmless, his grand dam by col. Fitzhugh's noted True Whig. To say more of his pedigree I conceive unnecessary. His colts are large and very elegant, and those that have been tried, are found to be horses of great strength and activity, fine figure and gaiety and have, when grown up, commanded very high prices; Dare Devil is a horse of fine figure, and great gaiety & sprightliness, and certainly possesses the grand requisites either for the turf, saddle or harness; excellent eyes, fine limbs, strong bone, muscular strength and action equal perhaps to any horse in the United States, as will appear from the following sketch of his performance. In the fall '97, he won the Jockey Club colt's purse at Lexington; in the fall '98, he distanced the noted running horse Weazle, four miles the heats, at maj. Blackburn's course; the same fall he won a purse at Frankfort, beating several fleet horses; was brought to Lexington the next day by 12 o'clock, notwithstanding the roads were very deep and heavy, was started immediately (without being cleaned) flew the course, leaped a high fence that was put up at a short turn in the course with the intent to keep the horses from flying off the course, was leaped back, saved his distance that heat, and took the purse, two miles the heats, beating col. Bibb's noted running stud horse Black Shark, and col. Ribby's Roan. In August '99, he won a quarter race for 100l. 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 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 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.
Pittsburgh Warehouse. THE subscriber respectfully informs his friends and the public in general, that he has erected a large and commodious Warehouse on the bank of the Monongahela River, at the mouth of Wood Street, near to Mr. William Morrow's Tavern, which is now ready for the reception of any Goods, that may be directed to him. He flatters himself from the knowledge he has of this business, the convenient situation of the House, and the moderate prices he intends charging for Storage, to meet the patronage of a generous public. Any Goods entrusted to, & stored with him, will be safely delivered to the boat by which they may ascend or descend the different rivers, and care will also be taken, (wherein he may be requested to forward Goods,) to send them by experienced and honest boatmen. He will also attend to the Commission Business, which Kentucky Merchants, or other persons may have done on very moderate terms. He returns his sincere thanks to his friends and customers for their past favours, and in forms them as well as the public, that he has on hand, and will continue to keep, A Handsome Assortment of DORSEY'S IRON, which he is determined to sell at the lowest terms for Cash or approved Notes.

Turner's colt by Escape. In 1800 he won the stand plate at York, free for all ages, beating the famous horse Jonah. The same year he ran over the York course (4 miles) with Hambletonian, for the great subscription, and although the greatest exertion was made by the rider of Hambletonian, yet he beat Dion only the neck, and actually refused to run with him for the gold cup at Doncaster, a few days after, which Dion won with the greatest ease, beating Lord Darlington's bay colt Hap-Hazard by Sir Peter Teazle, Lord Fitz William's brown filly Fanny, by do. Sir Harry Vane Tempest's bay colt by Walnut. Dion at another time beat Mr. Cooklin's Sir Harry, and Sir Thomas Galcoigne's Timothy, and several other horses of high repute, and was considered a horse of great speed and bottom, for his racing (in almost every instance) was 4 miles. DION, now rising 11 years old, full fifteen hands two inches and a half high, a fine bay, with great strength and beauty, and has probably the best feet, legs, back and quarters that were ever combined in one horse; Stands this season (which will commence the 20th of March and end the first of August) at Madison court house, and he let to mares at 12 dollars the single leap, paid in hand, 24 dollars the season (four dollars of which will be remitted if paid by the 20th of December next) 40 dollars to insure a mare with foal, and one dollar to the groom in every instance, paid when the mare is covered. Good beefsteers on foot, weighing not less than 400 lbs. the first week in August, good fat pork on foot, delivered the 1st week in October; inspected crop tobacco, delivered at any ware house on the Kentucky river, and merchantable hemp, delivered either at Madison court house or Lexington by the 30th of December, will be received in payment, at the cash market price when delivered—a promissory note for 24 dollars the season, and 40 for insurance must be sent with the mares—should those mares insured not prove with foal, and the property not altered, the money will be returned. Good pasturage found gratis for mares coming from more than 12 miles distance, and those gentlemen who with their mares fed, may have it done at three shillings per week. Both the horse and mares will be under the direction of E. Faulkner and Henry Banton. Wm. T. BANTON.
PEDIGREE. DION was bred by W. Garforth esq. and was got by Spadille, one of the best sons of Highflyer; his dam Faith by Pooley, a grandson of the Godolphin Arabian; his grand dam, the famous Arabian, by Old Matchem, out of Lass of the Mill, Groonook, Old Traveller, sister to Clark's Lass of the Mill, Mr. Holme's Mts Masketts, by Grey Hound; Old Partner, Woodcock, dam of Lambton, Mrs. Doe, Croft's Bay Barb, grand dam of the Ancestral Stirling, Masketts, Defendemon's dam, Brimmer, Dicky Pison, son of Dodiworth, out of the Burton Barb mare. This pedigree was taken from the general stud book of England. JOHN HOOMES.
SCHONBRUNN, Dec. 22. Before the Emperor Napoleon left this place, he published the following PROCLAMATION TO THE ARMY. "Soldiers," "Peace between me and the Emperor of Austria is signed. You have in this late season of the year, made two campaigns—you have performed every thing I expected from you. I am returning to return to my capital. I have promoted and distributed rewards to those who have distinguished themselves most; I will perform to you every thing I have promised. You have seen that your Emperor has shared with you all dangers and fatigues; you shall likewise see him surrounded with all that grandeur and splendour which becomes the sovereign of the first nation in the world. In the beginning of the month of May, I will give a grand festival at Paris; you shall all be there; and we shall there see, whether we are called the happiness of our country, and the interest of our glory. "Soldiers, during the three months which are necessary for your return to France, be the example of all armies. You are now to give examples not of courage and intrepidity, but of strict discipline—may my allies no more have to complain of your behaviour! Conduct yourselves on your arrival in that territory, like children in the bosom of their family. My people will conduct themselves towards you, as they must ever do towards their heroes and their defenders. "Soldiers, the thought that I shall see you all in less than half a year, assembled round my palace, is pleasing to my heart; and I feel before hand the most delightful emotions. We will celebrate the memory of those, who in these two campaigns have fallen in the field of honour. The world shall see that we are ready to follow their example, and, if necessary, to do still more than we have done against those who attack our honour, or suffer themselves to be misled by the gold of the eternal enemy of the Continent. (Signed,) "NAPOLEON. "By order of the Emperor. "Maj. Gen. Marshal BERTHIER. Schonbrunn, 6th Nivole, Dec. 27.
BALTIMORE, April 2. The ship United States, arrived below yesterday, after a short passage of 28 days from London; her accounts, therefore, are 14 or 15 days later than those heretofore received. Mr. Puyvance (son of the collector of this port) with other passengers, came up last evening in the Annapolis packet. The gentleman named, politely forwarded a number of London papers of dates 27, 25, 23, 21, and 20th of February, and others, irregular and not so late. Their contents claim but little interest; this our readers will necessarily calculate, when we inform them that the following selections are the most important we could furnish.
LONDON, February 21.  CAPTURE OF MEDINA. Last night a packet arrived at the India House, from Mr. Barker, the company's resident at Bagdad, containing an account of the capture of Medina, by the Wahabees, whose army, having been reinforced from the desert, has overwhelmed the adjacent country, and taken the city by assault, with infinite bloodshed and devastation. They set fire to Medina in various places, destroyed the mosques, after having ransacked them of their valuable shrines and treasures, and completely demolished the tomb of the Prophet. Some thousands of females of the first rank, were carried off by the besiegers into the desert, with a number of principal male inhabitants. A troop of camels were also sent away with jewels and other treasure to an immense amount. Our letters from Holland continue to assert, that Bonaparte perseveres in his earnest entreaties to the King of Prussia, to induce his majesty to shut his ports against the commerce of England, and it is feared that the implacable tyrant will ultimately carry his point in this respect. Much, however, will depend upon the result of the negotiations now pending at Berlin, in which the Danish minister takes a conspicuous part. A council of the cabinet ministers was yesterday held at Mr. Secretary Fox's office, in Downing street. Rumour stated, that the deliberations related to the subject of peace; but we could not trace this rumour to any authentic source. A private letter from Bremen of the 11th inst. contains the following article relative to the sentences passed on the officers, whose conduct produced the recent misfortunes to the House of Austria: "You have of course heard, that the archduke Charles has caused a thorough investigation into the causes of the misfortunes of the imperial arms in Germany; and astonishing to think, the undermentioned persons so high in the confidence of his majesty, are said to have had the following sentences passed upon them, for the criminal part they have acted in the late transactions: Prince Auerberg, to be deprived of his nobility, his estates confiscated, and
imprisoned ten years in the fortress of Spielberg. Prince Lamberti, imprisoned for life in the said fortress. General Jell, sentenced to be shot. Privy Counsellor Gollenbach, ordered to quit the imperial States. Counsellor Fabender, to be dismissed from his office. Field Marshal Kaunitz, and Field Marshal Auerberg, have committed suicide while under arrest. All the staff officers of the regiments of Runitz and Sponk, reduced and disgraced. Count Cobentzl, ordered to quit the country. General Mack's plans to be submitted to a board of general officers. Thirty Generals dismissed, and many more under examination. The trimming policy of the cabinet of Berlin is universally reprobated in the North of Germany. It has formally acknowledged the mock sovereignty of Bavaria and Württemberg. We received this morning American papers to the 16th ult. The Congress has been occupied in close sitting in the discussion of the differences between the Court of Madrid and the United States, as well as of the grounds of complaint preferred by the mercantile interest, against the acts of violence that have been so frequently imputed to our cruisers. None of the proceedings in either had, however, been allowed to transpire. The merchants of New-York are extremely indignant at the restrictions and vexations under which they alter their trade labours, from the conduct of British ships of war. Should their complaints be just, we sincerely hope, that every explanation and facility will be offered by our government, to preserve a good understanding with the United States. The merchants of the city of London, have drawn up a petition to government, praying that a more efficient protection than that hitherto granted, may be offered to commerce. In this petition it is set forth, that notwithstanding the heavy convoy duty at present imposed, the number of our merchant ships captured during the last three months, has been far greater than during the whole of the present war besides. As a remedy for a grievance so serious and alarming, the merchants propose to government, to commission an additional number of armed luggers, to serve as convoy, and to cruise in the channel, which now swarms with the privateers of the enemy. We understand, that a close blockade of all the enemy's ports, is one of the measures determined upon by the new board of Admiralty. Accounts were yesterday received from Dublin, of partial disturbances having arisen in the county of Mayo, but wholly unconnected with any political question. They are stated to have originated solely in the vexatious manner, to the poorer classes, in which the tythes are let, and in which they are collected. February 25. The Electors of Bavaria and Württemberg were proclaimed Kings on the first day of this month, at which time, Napoleon was at Munich. A report had prevailed on the Continent, that he intended making a visit to Berlin, where it appears, the Emperor Alexander is again expected. February 26. It is the general opinion in Spain, that they will be compelled by the French, to march an army against Portugal, in the approaching Spring. We recollect an article to this effect, in the Monitor, some days ago, given as intelligence received from Madrid, which in all probability, came direct from the French government. TOM PAINE and GEN. MIRANDA.
The following letter is from Thomas Paine, to a gentleman in this city, with consent to his publication.—N. Y. paper. "New-Rochelle, March 20. "I will inform you of what I know respecting General Miranda. I first became acquainted with him at New-York about the year 1783. He is a man of talent and enterprise, a Mexican by birth, and the whole of his life has been a life of adventures. "I went to Europe from New-York in April 1787. Mr. Jefferson was then Minister from America to France, and Mr. Littlepage, a Virginian, (whom John Jay knows) was agent for the king of Poland at Paris. He was a young man of extraordinary talents, and I first met with him at Mr. Jefferson's house at dinner. By his intimacy with the king of Poland, to whom also he was Chamberlain, he became well acquainted with the plans and projects of the northern powers of Europe. He told me of Miranda getting himself introduced to the Empress Catherine of Prussia, and obtained a sum of money from her, four thousand pounds sterling; but it did not appear to me what the object was for which the money was given. It appeared as a kind of retaining fee.

After I had published the first part of Rights of Man in England in the year 1791, I met with Miranda at the house of Turnbull and Forbes, Devonshire Square, London. He had a little time before this been in the employment of Mr. Pitt, with respect to the affair of Nootka Sound, but I did not at that time know it; and I will, in the course of this letter, inform you how this connection between Pitt and Miranda ended, for I knew it of my own knowledge.
I published the second part of Rights of Man, in London, in Feb. 92, and I continued in London till I was elected member of the French Convention in September of that year, and went from London to Paris to take my seat in the Convention which was to meet the twentieth of that month. I arrived at Paris on the 10th.
After the Convention met Miranda came to Paris, and was appointed General in the French army under Dumourier; but as the affairs of that army went wrong in the beginning of the year '93, Miranda was suspected, and was brought under arrest to Paris to take his trial. He summoned me to appear to his character, and also a Mr. Thomas Christie, connected with the house of Turnbull and Forbes. I gave my testimony as I believed, which was, that his leading object was, and had been, the emancipation of his country, Mexico, from the bondage of Spain, for I did not at that time know of his engagement with Pitt. Mr. Christie's evidence went to show that Miranda did not come to France as a necessitous adventurer, but believed he came from public spirited motives, and that he had a large sum of money in the hands of Turnbull and Forbes. The house Turnbull and Forbes was then in a contract to supply Paris with flour. Miranda was acquitted.
A few days after his acquittal he came to see me, and in a few days afterwards I returned his visit. He seemed desirous of satisfying me that he was independent, and that he had money in the hands, of Turnbull and Forbes. He did not tell me his affair with old Catherine of Russia, nor did I tell him that I knew it. But he entered in a conversation with respect to Nootka Sound, and put into my hands several letters of Mr. Pitt to him upon that subject, among which was one that I believe he gave me by mistake, for when I had opened it and was beginning to read it, he put forth his hand and said, "O, that is not the letter I intended." But as the letter was short I soon got thro' it, and then returned it to him without making any remarks upon it.
The dispute with Spain about Nootka Sound was then compromised, and Pitt compromised with Miranda for his services by giving him twelve hundred pounds sterling, for this was the contents of the letter.
Now if it be true that Miranda brought with him a credit upon certain persons in New-York, for sixty thousand pounds sterling, it is not difficult to suppose from what quarter the credit came; for the opening for any proposals between Pitt and Miranda was already made by the affair of Nootka Sound.
Miranda was in Paris when Mr. Monroe arrived there as minister, and as Miranda wanted to get acquainted with him, I cautioned Mr. Monroe against it, and told him of the affair of Nootka Sound and the twelve hundred pounds.
You are at liberty to make what use you please of this letter, and with my name to it.
THOMAS PAINE.
East India Booty. A very large gun, a sixty-nine pounder, was taken by Lord Lake, at Agra, made wholly of gold and silver, and supposed to be worth one hundred thousand pounds, gold chains, diamonds, pearls, and other valuables, worth upwards of a million sterling, recompensed the enterprise of our troops on the same occasion.
The treasure taken by the army under Gen. Wellesley, at Anamadzour and Affay, is said to have proved to be greater than was first supposed. The specie alone is now said to amount to four hundred thousand lacs of rupees; and its conveyance required four hundred tumbrels, each drawn by twelve bullocks.—nine thousand camels, laden with silks and muslins; sixty thousand bullocks laden with rice; and two thousand elephants, likewise fell into the hands of victors.

Bonaparte has levied a contribution of four millions on the City of Frankfort.
When the Texas claim was rejected by the house of representatives U. S. on Saturday last, Mr. J. Randolph exclaimed "I shall live ten years longer—Mr. Speaker, a few days ago we adjourned to pay the last mournful tribute of public respect to one of the best men that America has known—I move that we now adjourn to do honor to his apotheosis—his last words to me were: 'could I but survive to see Texas annihilated, I would then die in peace; and should it be annihilated after my death, I shall at last not have lived in vain.' I move we adjourn to honor the deceased hero, gen. James Jackson, and to triumph in the salvation of our country from corruption."—the house did adjourn!
The French had no doubt decided the fate of Naples; but it appears, the Neapolitans had not yielded to the Conquerors without a struggle. An action is stated to have taken place between the French and the combined armies, in the kingdom of Naples, in which the Prince Royal of Naples had been killed.
An English Fleet of 25 sail, under convoy of a sloop of war, from Jamaica or Halifax, was taken the 20th ult. off Havanna, by a large French privateer.
PHILADELPHIA, April 7. In the Leander, under the direction of general Miranda, (so often mentioned) failed a great number of adventurers from New-York, as supposed on a visit to the mines of South America, where they expected to be enriched at one dash. On the passage, as we are informed by captain Williamson, they fell in with the British ship of war Cleopatra, when the captain sent a pressing invitation on board the Leander, for some of the lads to take their quarters with him. This they wished to decline, but the officer was so polite, that he would not be said nay, and absolutely insisted on and took twenty of them to dine with his captain. This invitation we suspect has roused them from their golden dreams.
April 8. Extract of a letter from a gentleman on board the Leander, dated Jacksonville, 1st March, 1806, received via Baltimore.
General Miranda has explained to us his plan; and as we were told before we left New-York, when it was explained to us, we were at liberty to proceed or return, we have pretty generally agreed to return. We are landed, and in good quarters; have received what was promised, and money to return with passage free. The general will get as many men here as he wants; general Pétion at Port-au-Prince, who has the command of 8000 mulattoes speaking the language of the people of the opposite coast, are al eager to accompany him, and the emperor of Hayti, gives every facility; and for myself, I believe Miranda will succeed—perhaps we may yet go.

Montevideo taken by the British. Advice is received from the island of Cuba, by a packet from old Spain that Montevideo on the river La Plata, is taken possession of by the British, & that their force amounted to 18,000 troops—the commanding officer on this expedition was not named at Cuba when our informant received this intelligence.

MIRANDA EXPEDITION. The following communication, from a character well known in this city, appears in the Richmond Enquirer of the 4th inst. To what credit it is entitled, we submit to the judgment of our readers.
(Endorsed on the back) To the Editor of the Enquirer. To be delivered when Miranda's destination is made known; or within one month from this first day of March, whether known or not.
Richmond, March 1, 1806. Mr. Ritchie. SIR—I have heretofore withheld this communication, left the minister of Spain, might have had time to prevent the plan I wish to see effected.
Miranda has the permission from the British Government, to make Trinidad the place of rendezvous; he is gone there. The delegates of Caracas, hand.
For and Mexico, are now there, expected to meet him. Some delay may take place; therefore it would be imprudent to name the place of attack, rather the place to be surrendered—to be made the seat of confederation. If Miranda is not gone to that land, and you may laugh at my credulity—if you hear of his being there, you may put more confidence, than heretofore, in any communications I shall make as to this subject. Yours, &c.
STEPHEN SAYRE. The Editor of the Enquirer concludes his remarks on the foregoing, with the following ejaculation: "Success then to the man, who recollects the country that gave him birth, and to which he should give freedom!!"
WASHINGTON CITY, April 11. The Senate of the United States Yesterday ordered the bill prohibiting the importation of certain goods, wares and merchandise from Great Britain, to a third reading—Ayes 20—Noes 9. The only material alteration, we understand, made in this bill as it went from the house of representatives, is to admit the importation of black bottles.
April 8. A joint resolution was adopted for adjourning the two houses on Wednesday the 16th inst.
On Motion of Mr. Jackson, the following resolution was agreed to: Resolved, That the secretary of the treasury be requested to communicate to this house any information which he may possess in relation to an application said to have been made to draw money from the treasury, for the purchase of the Floridas, before an appropriation be made by law for that purpose.
MILAN, January 24. Marshal Massena, after arriving at Bologna from the Austrian states, soon proceeded on his farther destination. On the 17th of this month he joined the army marching to Naples, on the Papal frontiers. On that day he arrived at the headquarters of the army at Spoleto, where he took the command, and addressed the following proclamation to the army:
ARMY OF NAPLES. ORDER OF THE DAY. Head Quarters at Spoleto, Jan. 13. SOLDIERS. His majesty the emperor and king has confided to me the honour of conducting you to the new theatre of war. While his arms were employed in re-establishing the foundation of civilized Europe, a perfidious court opened its ports to the English, those eternal disturbers of the continent, and to those Russians whom he had conquered, he humiliated on the plains of Austerlitz.
Soldiers of Italy—The recollection of so important a day, will constantly excite in you, transports of enthusiasm. Remember that you are now going to fight in the same cause. Your emperor has his eyes fixed on you. He will soon judge whether you are worthy of participating in the glory his brave troops have acquired in this campaign. You are now marching through a friendly country, where the duties of hospitality are known. I trust you will show yourselves faithful to the rules of discipline, for without that fidelity, no real honor can exist. When your arms shall open to you the territory occupied by the enemy, remember, soldiers, that it is your duty to punish a government which has been unfaithful to its treaties, you are not at war with the people. The annals of our country present more than one example of union and good understanding, between the French and Neapolitans.
MASSENA, Gen. in chief Marshal of the Empire.

TO SOAR ALOFT ON FANCY'S WING.  THE WEALTH OF THE COTTAGE.  A blessing unknown to ambition and pride, That fortune can never abate, To wealth and to splendor 'tis often deny'd, Yet on poverty deigns to wait.

ADVERTISEMENT.  The subscriber offers to the public, a New Invention for Pressing:  Calculated to supercede the use of the screw almost, if not altogether. For a cheese press, it stands unrivalled, as might be certified by a host of witnesses if necessary; for an oil press, I submit the following certificate from a gentleman of unquestionable veracity.  Certificate.  I, Wm. Crawford, of South-east Dutchess county, state of N. York, do certify, that I have used Betts's patent, Wheel Press, for pressing oil, and find it preferable to any that I have ever seen as it produces more oil with less expense, and I do recommend it to the public as a very useful invention—Witness my hand. Wm. Crawford.  The machine which I offer to the public (though it comes with a bad grace from me) really merits attention; as in cheese making it reduces the labor from a degree to which female strength is illly adapted, to almost nothing; and in places which are yet in their infancy, this machine will be peculiarly useful, as those kind of presses, viz. the cider, clothier's and oil, are yet to be erected, and may be done at much less expense than the ordinary mode.  Licenses for constructing and using the above invention, will be afforded at a reasonable rate, by the subscriber.  Hezekiah Betts. NORWALK, Fairfield county, Conn.

JOHN W. HUNT.  Lexington April 1st, 1806  ARRA KOOKER. is a beautiful bay, with black legs, mane, and tail; sixteen hands high, and for figure, strength, elegance, movement and bone, is surpassed by no horse on the continent—As to his colts must refer you to Maj. James Heard of Winchester, Virginia, who is at present in this place, and to Mr. Robert Barr, who lives near this place, and whose certificates are annexed to this advertisement.  I DO hereby certify, that I have bred a colt by ARRA KOOKER, and think it extremely large and elegant, with remarkable fine limbs—The appearance of it has induced me to enter it in a sweep stake of 500 dollars—Likewise have seen a considerable number, which are promising—He is supposed to be a sure foal getter. Given under my hand this 10th day of April, 1806.  James Heard. Teste, Danl. Bradford.  I do certify that whilst I was in New-Town, in the Fall and Winter of 1803, I saw several of ARRA KOOKER's colts, they were rising two and three years old, they promised to be very fine, and during my stay in that part of the country, I visited Penny-Town, in New-Jersey, where ARRA KOOKER had stood, and general report spoke highly of him as a sure and good foal getter.  Robert Barr. Lexington March 26th, 1806.
ARRA KOOKER was imported from England by Dr. Tate, 1798. Is a beautiful bay, with black legs, mane and tail; sixteen hands high; a lofty elegant figure, with a great proportion of bone & strength and moves well; he is from the purest blood, he is from the best line of horses in England.  ARRA KOOKER was got by the celebrated running horse Drona (who won 25 Kings plates, Jockey club plates, and matches, to the amount of 5000 guineas) his grand sire was Herod, out of Lilly, his great grand sire was Blank, the sire of Eclipse—his dam was Mr. Dods worth's Chatsworth mare, by Chatsworth, a son of Blank's, (dam of Abba Thule) his grand dam by Engineer, his great grand dam by Wilson's Arabian, his great grand grand dam by Hutton's Spot, his great grand grand dam by Mogul, great grand grand grand dam by Crab, Bay Bolton, Cupid's Barb, Spot White legg'd Lather Barb, &c. &c.  ARRA KOOKER when three years old won a sweep stake of 100 guineas, two miles, five horses started at New-Castle-on-Tyne and 50 guineas Northallerton; at four years old won a sweep over the course for 100 guineas at New-Castle-on-Tyne—no four year old would enter against him the four mile heats, (you may in the racing calendar see in consequence of an injury in his leg, received in running, he was taken out of training; but of which he is now perfectly recovered and free from blemish.  I certify that the bright bay horse ARRA KOOKER, this day sold by me to Dr. James Tate, of Philadelphia, North America; was bred by Matthew Dods worth, Esq. of Oakley, Hall Yorkshire; that he was got by the running horse Drona out of Abba Thule's dam, for whose pedigree reference may be had to the Stud Book, &c. &c. Given under my hand and seal, at the city of York, this 23th day of August, 1797.  A true copy from the original. Conyers Norton.  THE bay horse, ARRA KOOKER, by Drona out of my Chatsworth gray mare, (the dam of Abba Thule) was bred by me, more than eight years old last grass. Witness my hand this 26th day of August, 1797.

IMPORTANT.  TO all those who wish either to become citizens or to hold lands in that delightful 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 six thousand acres of land, situated on both sides of Red river, and Big Whipperwill, 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 600 acres of cleared land, under good fence; a small apple orchard of the best fruit, a peach and cherry orchard, all in full perfection. On the premises is a large and elegant two story Brick House, entirely new, together with other necessary buildings. In point of health and beauty, this situation 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, 1 tract in Livingston county, and one on Cumberland 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 county. 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 failing fountain) it is situated in part about four miles below the court house, and extends from thence southwardly down the main river and the Sinking 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 last 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 8 or 10 farms, and good settlements. The subscriber has for sale, sundry other smaller tracts in Christian, or any of which, he will sell upon terms perhaps 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] Indispensable titles will be made to the purchasers. For terms and further information, apply to the subscriber at his plantation, about 12 miles South of Russellville. Letters addressed to the subscriber, [post paid] and left in the post office at Russellville, 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 indulgence will be given for the remainder.  BEVERLY A. ALLEN. March 23, 1806. 2m
