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 excellent for raising flock of all kinds, as it has a plenty of cane brakes, and peavines. All along the river is the sugar tree, wild cherry, and other woods common to this country. When you go back some distance, is the pine; which produces tar, turpentine, pitch and rosin; which will finally be valuable, independent of the wood that is upon the land. There is also a rock close to low water mark; that when the water is very low, shews clear salt upon its surface; and the rock itself tastes salt. There has been three water-witches (as they call them) trying the experiment, and they found there is four feet square of very salt water at the top of the bar, which is not an hundred feet from the water; and close to it a very ascending hill, for fever and ague, also the wood along the river, and coal bank with a thr hundred yards. There is also five hundred coal banks, which are near the river, with easy access to them. A said, for several feet, there are caves. The produce good cotton or hemp. Lexington alone, independent of the country blacksmiths, consumes thirty a thousand barrels per annum, we will suppose Frankfort five thousand, which falls at the landing at one falling per barrel, and twenty thousand might be sold; this might be made productive by a man of small capital, independent of three advantages, the mouth of the three forks is the best fishing place in the State. In a small crib they can get five hundred pounds of fish in a day, and may get by a fern, five or seven hundred barrels per annum. Tobacco, flour, beef, pork, tallow, hogs' lard, hemp, cordage, whiskey, or cash iron, will be taken in payment. Part credit will be given. If the whole cannot be paid, half will be sold, or a third.

FROM THE NEWARK CENTINEL. Mr. Printer; IN the course of one of my late peregrinations through the State of Connecticut, I accidentally lit on the following provoking letter, invoice, &c. The paper whence they are taken, was published in Hartford, Jan. 14, 1783. Should they operate on the feelings of your readers, as they have on mine, will scarcely be considered as an intrusion on their patience. Should there be a Tory in the whole scope of your readers, he must be blind with prejudice indeed, and as void of feeling as inanimate nature itself, if remorse and shame seize him not, and he "lay his hand on his mouth, and his mouth in the dust, and cry out unclean, unclean!" Although we may, like christians forgive, yet there can be no evil in keeping in full view the savage treatment which we have received from a nation, whose tender mercies are the most unparallelled cruelty. However, to give the devil his due, the nation alluded to, stands not alone in the black list of inhuman butcheries, as a retrospective view of the days in which Canada was in possession of other masters, will fully confirm—At a word, let those who prefer an English CROWN or French CAP, to the beautiful plumage of the AMERICAN EAGLE, read the following and "be refreshed." I am, Sir, yours &c. TIM. TUGMUTTON, Esq.
Extract of a letter from Captain Gerrish, of the New-England militia, dated ALBANY, MARCH 7, 1782. "The peltry taken in the expedition, will, as you see, amount to a good deal of money. The possession of this booty at first gave us pleasure; but we are struck with horror to find among the packages eight large ones, containing scalps of our unhappy country folks, taken in the three last years by the Seneca Indians, from the inhabitants of the frontiers of New-York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia, and sent by them as a present to Col. Hadademond, Governor of Canada, in order to be by him transmitted to England. They are accompanied by the following curious letter to that gentleman:—
TIOGA, January 3, 1782. May it please your Excellency, "At the request of the Seneca chiefs, I send herewith to your Excellency, under the care of James Boyd, eight packs of scalps, cured, dried, hooped and painted, with all the Indian triumphal marks, of which the following is an invoice and explanation: No. 1. Containing 43 scalps of
Congregis soldiers, killed in different skirmishes; these are stretched on black hoops, 4 inches in diameter; the inside of the skin painted red, with a small black spot, to note their being killed with bullets. Also 62 of farmers, killed in their houses; the hoops red; the skin painted brown, and marked with a hoe; a black circle all round, to denote their being surprised in the night, and a black hatchet in the middle, signifying their being killed with that weapon.
No. 2. Containing 98 of farmers, killed in their houses; hoops red; figure of a hoe, to mark their profession; great white circle and sun, to show they were surprised in the day time; a little red foot, to show they stood upon their defence, and died fighting for their lives and families.
No. 3. Containing 97 of farmers; hoops green, to show they were killed in their field; a large white circle, with a little round mark on it for the sun, to show that it was in the day time; black bullet mark on some, hatchet on others.
No. 4. Containing 120 of farmers, mixed of the several marks above; only 18 marked with a yellow flame, to denote their being of prisoners burnt alive, after being scalped, their nails pulled out by the roots, and other torments; one of these latter supposed to be a rebel clergyman, his hand being fixed to the hoop of his scalp.—Most of the farmers appear by the hair, to have been young or middle aged men; there being but 67 very gray heads among them all; which makes the service the more essential.
mark their being killed with those instruments; 17 others, hair very carry the plan into execution him-gray; black hoops, plain brown co- self, if they did not interfere about lour; no mark but the short club or his preparations? Did you answer him, after a long pasilate, to show they were knocked ed down dead, or had their brains beat out. No. 6. Containing 193 boys' scalps, of various ages; small green hoops, whitish ground on the skin, with red tears in the middle, and black bullet marks, knife, hatchet, or club, as their deaths happened. No. 7. 211 girls, big and little; small yellow hoops; white ground; tears, hatchet, club, scalping knife, &c. No. 8. This packet is a mixture of all the varieties above mentioned, to the number of 122; with a box of birch bark, containing 29 little infants' scalps, of various sizes; small white hoops; white ground; no tears, and only a little black knife in the middle, to show they were ripped out of their mothers' body. With these packs, the chiefs have sent to your Excellency the following speech, delivered by Coneloga, in council, interpreted by the Elder Moore, the trader, and taken down by me in writing.
SPEECH. FATHER; We send you herewith many scalps, that you may see that we are not idle friends. A blue belt.
FATHER; We wish you to send these scalps over the water to the great king, that he may regard them and be refreshed; and that he may see our faithfulness in destroying his enemies, and be convinced that his presents have not been made to ungrateful people. A blue and white belt with red tassels.
FATHER; Attend to what I am now going to say; it is a matter of much weight.—The great king's enemies are many, and they grow fast in number. They were formerly like young panthers; they could neither bite nor scratch; we could play with them safely; we feared nothing they could do us. But now their bodies are become big as the elk, and strong as the buffalo; they have also got great and sharp claws. They have driven us out of their country, for taking part in your quarrel. We expect the great king will give us another country, that our children may live after us, and be his friends and children as we are. Say this for us to the great king. To enforce it, we give this belt. A great white belt with blue tassels.
FATHER; We have only to say further, that your traders exact more than ever for their goods; and our hunting is lessened by the war, so that we have fewer skins to give for them. This ruins us. Think of some remedy. We are poor, and you have plenty of every thing.—We know you will send us powder and guns, and knives and hatchets; but we also want shirts and blankets. A little white belt.
I do not doubt but your Excellency will think it proper to give some further encouragement to those honest people. The high prices they complain of, are the necessary effect of the war. Whatever presents may be sent for them through my hands, shall be distributed with prudence and fidelity. I have the honour of being your Excellency's most obedient, &c. JAMES CRAUFORD.
From the Philadelphia Gazette. SERIOUS QUESTIONS TO MR. MADISON.
Did Miranda go to Washington about the middle of December last? Had he two long interviews with you? Did he not present you a plan of an expedition against the province of Caracas? Did he support the probability of success by the exhibition of various letters, either real or spurious, supposed to be written to him from his friends in that country? Did he show you a plan of the government he intended to establish in those provinces? Did the president peruse the said plan of government, keep the manuscript 24 hours in his possession, and return it afterwards to Miranda, approving it in general terms? Did you observe to Miranda that congress did not appear inclined to go to war with Spain? Did Miranda reply that if govern-
ment was not so disposed he could carry the plan into execution himself, if they did not interfere about his preparations? Did you answer him, after a long pause, that government would shut their eyes, provided he would act with the necessary caution, so as not to commit them? Did Miranda return immediately to New-York to make his preparations and act in consequence? Is it possible, is it credible, that if Miranda had not met from you with a kind of indirect encouragement he would immediately on his return from Washington have proceeded to expenses that a little vigilance alone would have rendered useless? Is it credible, that, without that indirect support, two officers of the federal government, at the port of New-York, could have engaged in so nefarious a proceeding? Is it credible that one of them would have permitted his eldest son to attend gen. Miranda in this predatory expedition, in the capacity of his aid? Is it true that the Leander, in which this young man embarked, had on board many muskets, rifles, pikes, field pieces, howitzers, ammunition of all kinds, regimentals, two printing presses, with ten or twelve journey-men printers? Is it true, that this vessel remained in port a fortnight after clearing out at the custom-house, to embark recruits, and that the objects of her delay were generally known at New York? Is it to be supposed that if the administration had even not had any previous information of the scheme, they could be ignorant of these transactions, known to every body else?—Even admitting for supposition sake, that they had not a previous knowledge, would not their supposed ignorance be a most glaring proof of the most criminal neglect? Has not the honour and neutrality of our country been committed in the most scandalous manner, by a hostile armament fitted out in our ports under the eyes of public officers consisting of American ships under the American flag, with American officers, American crews, American volunteers, American arms, and many other American implements of war, with the object of attacking the colonies of a nation with whom we are at peace? Are not all these circumstances together sufficiently weighty to influence the Spanish commanders, if Miranda's attempt takes place, to lay an embargo on all American property within their jurisdiction? Will not the innocent merchants of the United States be exposed to the most ruinous and disastrous consequences if an event of this nature should take place? And should they not consider either a criminal connivance or a not less culpable neglect on the part of those through whose authority such scandalous proceedings could have been checked and prevented as the true causes of their misfortunes? These questions are made by every body, and we must confess that daily circumstances occur which in our opinion render a satisfactory answer more and more difficult. We submit them to the public, as immediately interested in the clearing up of a mystery which appears to hang over this affair, and which seriously threatens the interest of our fellow citizens. The National Intelligencer makes the following remarks on the above. The first impression made on the reader by a perusal of these questions, is that they are the offspring of some man, who, hatched in the vices of European governments, has undertaken, through ignorance or malevolence, to ascribe to those who administer our system, the like atrocities with those committed by transatlantic administrations; in short, that they are the production of some foreigner, who, from causes easily assignable by every man conversant with some recent occurrences, or from those of an inexplicable nature, is thus infamously employed in despoiling one of the purest characters in the nation of his fair fame, and aiming a deadly blow at the character of the whole government. The charges ascribed to the President and Mr. Madison, cannot have emanated from an American heart or an American head. They are too absurd and too malignant to be cherished by any one, whose interests are embarked in our common destiny. How they received admission into an American print, unless it was to expose hereafter the d.f.

CINCINNATI, March 10. We are happy in having an opportunity to lay before our readers the following Indian talk, copied from the original, which we received from major Moor, from Champaign county.
Brothers, when we were at the feet of our great Father Jefferson, four years ago, every thing that was good was, settled with great satisfaction to both parties, we gave him our hearts, and we have a bright gold chain which ties our hands fast together; so you see brothers, we have no right to break the good friendship that was so firmly established.

Brothers, we have mort to say: After a few days, when we get everything ready, we will go to Chillicothe to the governor, to assure and our brothers that our wishes are only to keep all which was said to us by our great father the president, which is nothing but good, that for the future we may not be blamed innocently.
Friends and brothers, since we wrote our speech, three men have arrived here from Derby—we assured them of our innocence & they seem quite satisfied—they remarked that the white people took notice that we gave our hands from the left—we now explain to all our brothers the reason—it signifies peace and friendship from our heart. From the right hand is bad—for if a man strike another he certainly makes use of the right hand, which is bad.

He comes, the Herald of a noisy world, News from all nations lumbering at his back. LEXINGTON, MARCH 19.
We acknowledge the receipt of a private communication; but were there no objectionable matter, we conceive the subject too contemptible to deserve the least notice. It is true he has "brayed" most sonuously, but the voice was not once known. Should he still be permitted to step unnoted, he will probably expire through vexation.
Mr. Bradford. Having been informed that a report is in circulation, that col. Thomas Sandford is not a candidate for the next congressional election, which report, if suffered to remain uncontradicted, may operate to the injury of his election. I can assure you, that such report is unfounded, and that col. Sandford is a candidate.
A Citizen of the Franklin District. 15th March, 1806.
A Correspondent supposes, that the honorable Gideon Granger must be taken up with Yazoo speculations, and schemes for the destruction of John Randolph, with which Duane has often charged him,—to the exclusion of every other consideration,—or the Post-Office establishment could not be so much neglected. Never was there a more mild and moderate winter than the preceding one—never did fewer obstructions present themselves to the progress of post riders—Yet for years back, during no winter, has the arrival of the Mail been more uncertain. Had the P. M. G. been more attentive to his duty, this could not have happened. But it seems, that such are his arrangements, that no one P. M. in the State can inform us, when our situation will be bettered. If during the preceding winter, the Mail could not have regularly been carried, are we ever to expect an improvement in its establishment? Much has been said by the puffers of Gideon, of the vast improvements which he has made—of his exertions—and of his designs. But instead of accelerating the progress of the Mail, has he not rather retarded it? have his exertions been attended with success? and have not his designs been rather to promote Yazooism, by giving profitable contracts to its supporters, and to influence them, by winking at their failures, than to extend stages and post riders into every corner of the Union. Alas! poor Gideon—We fear you have abandoned Judah, and no longer wield the sword of the Lord and of Israel.
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman of observation at New-Orleans, to his Correspondent in Lexington, dated January 25.
Having made an excursion into the country West of the Mississippi, and South of Red River, I suppose that some account of it will not be unacceptable to you. That part which is nearest the first, is Attakapa county, and that which joins the second, is Opeloufas. They both join the Bay of Mexico; the latter to the South-West of the former—That portion of Opeloufas which is near Red River, is a high piny country, and grows gradually; smooth and rich as it approaches the sea, where it is so low, that the ground is pretty generally a green marl, on which even the cattle cannot go; between the high and low grounds, the whole country is one enormous prairie, 6 or 900 miles along the coast, intersected by numerous streams of water, which are lined with timber; this prairie, in the inhabited parts of these two countries, is covered with cattle; some farmers have marked, salt fat, better than 1000 calves, and one has marked 1500. It is impossible even to make a tolerable good girt at the number there may be in those two countries; but it must certainly be very great: because every body has a flock, and there are not less than 1000 or 1200 families in them. The usual crops are, cotton, maize; but sugar plantations are now forming in Attakapa; the settled part of the other country being to the North of this, seems unfit for that branch of agriculture. Gardening thrives there in a very high degree, both in culinary productions and fruits, and there is no doubt but the grape vine will succeed when tried; (I forgot mentioning that besides cattle, they have
a large number of sheep and swine) the beginning of the summer seems to be the most favourable season for vegetables. The country near the sea, that is for about 60 or 100 miles, is so much intersected with water courses, that it is navigable in every direction; and as the greatest part of these are furnished by the Mississippi, and that the country is extremely low, there are communications from one river to another, and in some places, two or three navigable communications between two rivers. The time is not very far off, when a navigation will be opened for upper country produce, to be scattered over that country, from Red River down to the sea board; nay, even be shipped there for foreign markets. Nothing hardly would prevent it now, were the different channels known by your venturous country men.
These two counties are deemed perfectly healthy, the Attakapas is totally French, and consists of 400 families, and the Opeloufas which has 600 families, is nearly divided between French and American settlers; the latter are much on the increase, col. Thomson from Kentucky, who is register of the western district of the territory of Orleans, is so much pleased with the Opeloufas, where his office is fixed, that he is constantly looking out to buy himself a plantation; lands are low there, some very fine may be bought at from one and a quarter to five dollars per acre, while they are worth from three to five times as much on the Mississippi.

TO SOAR ALOFT ON FANCY'S WING.
THE VICTORY.
HARK!—the church bells thundering harmony, Sums the glad air! Tidings of joys are come Glad tidings of great joy! The gallant ship Met on the element—They met—they fought A desperate fight—Good tidings of great joy! Old England triumphed! yet another day Of glory for the "Ruler of the Waves."
There were those who died In that day's glory, whose of some names No proud historian's page will chronicle— Rescued their honest souls—I read their names, As in the list of slaughter, and blest God The sound was not familiar to mine ear. But it was told me after, that these men Were such whom lawful violence had forced From their own homes, and wives and little ones;
Who by their labour liv'd—That they were those Whose uncorrupted hearts could keenly feel A husband's love, a Father's anxiousness— That from the wages of their toil, he felt The distant dear ones, and would talk of them At midnight, when they trod the silent deck With him they valued; talk of them, of joy Which they had known—Oh God! and of the hour When they should meet again, till their full hearts,
Their ample breasts at last would overflow, Even like a child's, with very tenderness. Peace to their honest souls!—I read their names, It comes, and merciful the ball of death, For it came suddenly, and shattered them, And left no moment's agonizing thought, On those they lov'd so well—
They Ocean deep Now lie at rest—Be Thou her comforter, Who art the widow's friend—Man does not know What a cold sickness made her blood run back, When first she heard the tidings of the fight; Nor does not know with what a dreadful hope She listened to the names of those who died. Man does not know, or knowing, will not need, With what an agony of tenderness She gazed upon her children, and beheld His image who was gone—O God, be thou Her comforter, who art the widow's friend.
* The persons alluded to, were pressed into the service.
The above admirable description, is taken from Southey's poems. What heat but melts at the sad state of those afflicted families, where fathers and brothers have fallen a sacrifice to wanton ambition. While we talk about Lord Nelson, and deplore his fate, let us turn our minds to the unhappy victims, who have been dragged by a press-gang banditti, on board the British Navy—Let us also reflect on the num- ber of American seamen, who probably, serve to fill up the list of killed and wounded. Gra- cious God, what must be the agonizing sens- ibility of widows and orphans, when the dread- ful news is related, which plunges them in the vortex of distress and misery! But alas, many an American widow will not even have this consolation, to know, that he who is endeared to her by every tie of affection, is at length free from the cruel servitude of British tyran- ny. While we contemplate this melancholy subject, may our hearts beat in commiseration to the unhappy fate of men, who were led in chains to the dreadful carnage; and particular- ly may Americans hold in abhorrence those, who oblige our fellow citizens to participate in the miseries attached to the lawless violence of pressing men into the British service.

100 DOLLARS REWARD.
RAN away from the subscriber, living near Greenville, Jefferson county, Mississippi Territory, a Negro Man, named 34 CHARLES, whose subscriber purchase, from Thomas B. Scott and Robert Scott of Jessamine county, Kentucky. He is a well made black fellow, about 34 years of age, about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, he stoops a little in his shoulders and has a soft squeaking voice.
