FARMERS ATTEND.
MANY of you having very frequently applied to the subscriber (he being in the habit of trading to the Northward) to bring a covering horse of the Eusopus breed, which you so much (and not without just cause) admire, he therefore being induced from interest, as well as having a natural disposition to accommodate, has procured one of that stock, which he flatters himself will please.
This noble Horse, called EUSOPUS BALL.
Will stand the ensuing season at the subscriber's stable in Martinsburg, at the moderate price of three dollars and a bushel of oats the season, the oats to be brought with the mare, five dollars for insurance, and one dollar cash the single leap. The season to begin the first day of April and end the middle of July. Credit will be given for the money until the 1st of April 1805.
Eusopus Ball is a handsome dark bay, ten years old this spring, he is sixteen and an half hands high, with bone and body in proportion, and is as well calculated for the draft as any horse in the state of Virginia. The public will please to excuse me for omitting his pedigree, as I conceive it unnecessary, relying on their sufficient knowledge and acquaintance with the breed and services of those valuable kind of horses—without this, his form alone, will be sufficient to recommend him.

The rumours of invasion thicken upon us and are gaining strength almost daily. Among other things, it is pretty generally believed that the French fleet has escaped from Toulon and that Lord Nelson is in pursuit of it.
It is said Government have received intelligence from Sir Sidney Smith, stating that he had fallen in with a fleet of Dutch and French gun-boats, of which he had taken fifteen and destroyed thirty. Though this report has every mark of credibility, we do not pretend to vouch for the truth of it.
LONDON, February 25.
A dispatch arrived yesterday from Lord Nelson which is supposed to contain important intelligence.
Letters have been received at Plymouth, direct from his Lordship, to his friends; the contents are short, just stating, that the French squadron had given him the slip from Toulon; that he received quick intelligence of the event, and was then steering after them with every rag of sail set and hoped to overtake, and give a good account of them.
A report prevailed yesterday afternoon, that fifteen sail of the enemy's gun boats had been taken and carried into Deal and Dover. Some of the morning papers repeated the rumour, but say, they were captured by Sir Sidney Smith.
We understand, that intelligence has been received at the admiralty, stating that the active cutter (No. 2) Lieutenant Williams fell in with sixteen sail of the enemy's small craft, on the 15th instant proceeding from Ostend to Boulogne, of which he had captured one under circumstances highly credible to himself.
Orders have been received by the commanding officer in the Downs for all officers whether belonging to vessels in actual service on that station, or to those not immediately prepared for sea, to sleep on board their respective ships. — Similar orders are to be strictly enforced at Plymouth, Portsmouth, Chatham and Sheerness.
All the men of war at St. Helen's have been ordered to lie at anchor with springs upon their cables.
Letters have been sent from the Trinity House to the different gentlemen who have volunteered their services for the defence of the entrance of the Thames, earnestly entreating them to be on board their respective ships before the 1st of March.
A Dutch schuyt arrived at Harwich, on Monday, with 4 passengers from Ketwyck. They state that the Northern powers have been collecting a great force to oppose the further tyranny of France, whose ambition, they begin to suppose, has no limits.
In speculating upon the probability of
the Toulon fleet being out, the first enquiry to be made is, whether it is going? A formidable fleet of transports is known to have been collected in that harbour, and it has been thought by some that an attempt would be made upon Egypt and the Morea—others, perhaps more reasonably, imagined Ireland to be the destination of the armament.—It was believed that the French would attempt to raise the blockade of Ferrol, and thus reenforced, to steer circuitously to Ireland. Neither of these designs are improbable. One thing, however, we may rest assured of, the French have not escaped without a purpose. If Nelson should overtake them, we would almost venture to insure a victory; and really, when the pressure of our burthen is so much increased, and the more frequent visit of the tax gatherer is to be apprehended, something of an Extraordinary Gazette is at least required to raise our hopes and strengthen our efforts in the present struggle; a war without victory or defeat, is a phenomenon in the history of the world.
A cutter belonging to the fleet of Admiral Cornwallis looked, on the 16th instant, into Brest Road, and counted in the outer harbour nine ships of the line, six frigates, seven cutters and thirty-two transports, seemingly ready for sea. This cutter was so near the forts and the batteries, that it was fired at for a quarter of an hour and two French frigates cut their cables and chased it, but the night coming on, it escaped, and the next morning joined our fleet off Ushant, and reported to the Admiral the observations made. A French fishing boat had been taken by this cutter near the Fort de Rats, the crew of which were unanimous in their declaration: that the army at and near Brest amounts to no more than 28,000 men, but are ready to embark at a moments notice. Divisions of 6 or 7000 men each time embark every two days, by turns, on board the transports and men of war, to accustom themselves to live on board, and to the sea air, and after a duty of 48 hours are relieved by others, who continue the same time before they are relieved. This duty has been continued regularly since new year's day, and is not much liked by the troops. To this army is attached a corps of guides, of 150 Irishmen, or Englishmen, but who are not much trusted, by the General, and are therefore encamped with the reserve corps, two leagues from the coast; even the Irish officers have not yet been permitted to visit Brest. Both the officers and men are disgusted with the insolent and tyrannical treatment and behaviour of the General in Chief Angereau, who, to shew his power, is harassing them with continual marches and counter marches, embarkations and disembarkations. Sebastiani, formerly an Aid-de-Camp to the First Consul, but appointed a General of Brigade to this army, was put under an arrest for a week, lately, by the orders of Angereau, but, before the time expired, orders from the First Consul, by the telegraphe, released him, and gave him another command at St. Maloes, in a small army collecting there. Four other generals have thrown up their commissions; and more would have done the same, had not a report prevailed that Bonaparte would soon come to Brest, and review the army, and inspect the fleet before it sails.
We have presented the Public with a proclamation of the Dutch Government of the 6th of the present month, which, to the attentive reader, will convey more important information of the state of that unhappy country, than whole volumes filled with the complaints of individuals could do.
This is an Official Paper, published by the Batavian Government, and shews, that so far from bearing patiently the Tyrant's Yoke, the Batavian Government and the Dutch People appeal most eloquently to the Almighty Ruler of the Universe, and to every European Power that has the Generosity, the Spirit, and the Strength, to come to their relief, and strike off their chains.
In this proclamation, in which "more is meant than meets the ear," in which more eloquence and feeling are displayed than appeared in the routine business of a Proclamation for a Fast, the Dutch Government is bold enough to declare in all the world the miserable situation of the Dutch People: they do not tell us, as Bonaparte does, how many new manufactures are springing up—how their credit and commerce are reviving, or how many arches of a broken bridge they have repaired, but they declare, with all the spirit of a nation that deserves to be independent, that the oppression under which they labour has driven
them to the brink of ruin, but that they still have hopes, that through the Divine Mercy, they may again be restored to their former prosperity. They confess their situation to be daily growing worse and worse: that all they wish for is peace.
Although Holland is oppressed by a tyrant more killing than the Pestilence, more destructive than the Pestilence, we are glad to see that hope still survives in Holland. The Dutch have fixed upon the 7th of March for their national supplication; we are told that the French have fixed upon the month of March for their invasion of this country: if so, and Bonaparte is still fond of omens, let a soothsayer ting in his ears, "Cesar, remember the Ides of March."
The latest accounts from Holland state that the expedition against this country will not take place till April. Other accounts say that every thing is ready.
A letter from Rotterdam, dated 4th of February says: "The French have in the most unheard-of-manner, searched the shops of the principal shop-keepers at Hissengen, and forcibly taken from them all such goods as they choose to alledge are of English manufacture, and sent them up to Antwerp and Middleburgh; and, under pretence of looking for spies, they have exercised a very vexatious search in several private houses. It is reported that upwards of 100 waggons laden with goods expedited from Embden, have also been stopped by the French on the frontier."
It is confidently stated, that in the Treaty signed at Madrid by Joseph Bonaparte, guaranteeing the neutrality of Spain, beside the sum to be paid upon the face of the treaty, there was one equal to a million sterling stipulated for, which went into the private pocket of the Bonaparte family.
On Saturday accounts were received of an embargo having been laid in all the ports of France, from which it is inferred that the enemy means immediately to attempt the invasion. Orders have been sent in consequence to all the naval Stations along the coast.

Loss of the Philadelphia Frigate, or, a practical lesson on Jefferson's economy. —The following extract of a letter, from the Philadelphia Gazette of this morning puts the loss of the Philadelphia frigate out of further question.—
Extract of a Letter from an officer on board the Philadelphia frigate, dated at Tripoli.
"As I am using the only pen and ink, except one which the captain is using, which we can procure, I have only time to tell you, that yesterday, at 12 o'clock, while in chase of one of the enemy's ships of war, we ran aground a few miles to the eastward of the fort and town of Tripoli, which being very soon perceived, the gun-boats flocked out upon us. We fought the ship as long as we could do any good, and tried every expedient seamanship suggested to get her off, but alas, in vain. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon, we were obliged to haul our colours down, before we did that, we cut away the foremast. When they first came on board us they behaved remarkably well, but when the rabble got on board, I never saw or heard of such plunder as they made, they drove us into their boats without any clothes, but what we had on. I had to fight with two of them some time to secure my great coat, and by scuffling I saved my money and watch. The capt. was robbed, of his watch, money and apuletts, the latter the bashaw had returned to him. Before we got on shore, we were treated most brutally, some of the officers had their coats, vests and cravats taken off. After we got on shore they treated us very well. We were all shown the Bashaw in his audience chamber, surrounded by guards."
"We now inhabit the American house, as it is called. It is the house that our consul inhabited, and are upon our parole of honor not to leave the place without permission, and that cannot be until we are all ransomed together, as the bashaw will not receive ransom for one at a time, but must have all together. Unfortunately there was none of our vessels off here, but us, or else we should have gone on
board them. The only person that has been attentive to us, or interested himself, is the Danish consul—none of the other consuls have been near us—they all hoisted their flags this morning. If the Danish consul had not behaved as well as he has, we should have been badly off. He has seen himself to every thing necessary to make us comfortable. Our captain behaved remarkably well, very much like the officer, the seaman, and gentleman, and I shall always feel very great regard for him. He has made repeated enquiries for our clothes, but without effect."
As it was questioned by several of the democratic prints, whether the accounts formerly received of the loss of this frigate were not incorrect, we have forborne till this time to make those observations on this misfortune, which the occasion fully warrants and demands.—We now desire the reader to accompany us in a few obvious, but not uninteresting reflections.
An eastern democratic print, taking notice of this subject, first "sincerely hopes that private calamity [to the officers and seamen of the frigate] will not be aggravated by the more severe and galling reproaches of their countrymen," and finishes by saying, "It will certainly be admitted that the present disaster may have happened, without the slightest misconduct or imprudence on the part of Capt. Bainbridge. Until we are constrained to yield to a different belief, it is our duty to consider the event as one of those inevitable misfortunes, which no human prudence could have avoided."
No; truth requires us to regard it in a very different light, in contradiction of this gentleman, we say, it was not an "inevitable misfortune;" it was not owing to a accidental concurrence of circumstances beyond the reach of "human foresight," or beyond the control of "human prudence." A very moderate share of either would have been sufficient to provide against this calamity; and we do now, in the most direct manner, reproach—not the officers and seamen of the frigate, but—the man whom his friend, Dr. Mitchell, has dignified with the title of Lord High Admiral of the Navy , Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States; he it is whom we reproach as the original cause of this very serious national loss, and pregnant, as we shall see, with further extensive mischiefs.
If we turn to his second Message to Congress, we shall find he here tells us that "to secure our commerce in that sea (the Mediterranean) with the smallest force competent, we have supposed it best to watch strictly the harbour of Tripoli." And so, to carry on this watching process with the smallest force competent, he sends a single frigate to invest the harbor of Tripoli. This may have been a pretty scheme for a knick-knackatory philosopher, but it was a very curious mode of warfare for a Lord High Admiral of the American Navy. We believe we may challenge the globe itself to produce another instance of blockading an enemy's port with a single ship. It would be only for two of their vessels to start at once and take different directions and one of them must escape. But the serious evil that has now happened forbids the indulgence of ridicule; and leaves nothing but to lament the weakness and to execrate the stupidity that have been the cause of it.
Before we drop the subject, however, let us see if we can approach towards an estimate of the injury we have sustained by the loss of this frigate, and of the losses likely to be incurred before we can reinstate ourselves in our former situation.
First; the frigate herself with her appointments may be placed at 400,000 dollars, at least.
Secondly; the ransom of the officers and seamen may be stated at not less than one million and an half.
Thirdly; it is not to be expected that the prisoners can be redeemed at all without our making peace with the Barbarian; and it is well known that a peace cannot be thought of for less money than a million. In a word, if we can wind up the account any thing below Four Millions of Dollars, all short may be set down to the score of good luck. In addition to all this, there is the incalculable injury arising from the enemy's being put in possession of one of our own ships.
But if the Philadelphia had had a consort with her, the following inferences may be fairly made:
First—Supposing the consort to be a smaller vessel, there would have been no necessity for the frigate to run th
* A subsequent account mentions that the British consul had procured the liberty of the city for the officers, on parole.

risk of continuing the chase so far in shore, and therefore the probability is that she would not have run aground at all.
Secondly—If she had run aground, the consort might have assisted her to lighten, and the chance is ten to one that she might have been got off.
Lastly—All the crew, at any rate, would have been saved, and the frigate herself destroyed to prevent her falling into the hands of the enemy.
So that, to say nothing of the advantages of blockading a port in the old way with a number of vessels, had our frigate been accompanied with only a single one, she either would not have met with the disaster at all, or it would have reduced from an evil of the first magnitude to a comparatively trifling affair.
"Economy in public expense, that labor might be lightly burdened," Mr. Jefferson affected to tell us in his inaugural speech, was deemed by him one of "the essential principles of our Government, which ought to shape its administration." Every one will allow that a just and proper attention to economy is necessary and proper in public affairs as well as in private life; but not that miserable, starving, niggardly species of economy which, by saving a dollar, ruins a nation; and herein consists the difference between those truly great men who have heretofore conducted our councils and the petty politicians now in power, whose abilities extend to the "paltry science of courting and winning popular favour, without the smallest capacity to govern."
[New-York Herald.]
We understand that our government is preparing with all expedition to despatch three frigates to the Mediterranean, in consequence of the capture of the Philadelphia. The economies of our administration are really so deep and inscrutable that we despair of ever finding them out. Had there been a single tender in company with that frigate she could not have been taken—But that would have cost some money. She was therefore hazarded alone, contrary to the advice of an experienced officer of the navy, and lost. Now it seems, after the mischief is done, a competent force is to be raised and sent into those seas. But for what purpose? We presume: for the purpose of blockading Tripoli. Should any attack be made upon that town, the probability is that the lives of about three hundred brave Americans, murdered in cold blood, would atone for the rash measure. Can it be the wish of our economical administration in this manner to avoid the expense of ransoming those unfortunate men?
[U. S. Gaz.]
A member of the house of representatives of the United States, under date of Sunday afternoon, 23th March, writes us from Washington, that commodore Preble was to sail from Syracuse to Tripoli, on the 12th of December, having heard of the ship-wreck of the frigate Philadelphia. He will have three smaller vessels with him, and will attempt to cut her out of the harbour. The Philadelphia drifted off with the tide on the second day after the accident. The Tripolitans, not knowing how to manage her, have offered to sell her to some Maltese merchants.
Captain Mentor arrived at Boston, in 39 days from Alicante, informs that all the officers of the United States frigate Philadelphia, 17 in number, had been liberated through the spirited interference of the French Consul at that place; and that 13 or 20 of the crew had found means to make their escape from servitude, by getting possession of a boat and putting to sea.

Extract of a letter from Charleston (S. C.) to the Editor of the repertory dated March 8th.
"The people to whom I have been introduced, are extremely polite and hospitable; the most respectable class are Federal, but the habits and manners of the mass do not suit me. I hardly believe myself in my own country. Slavery. I detest, and I have seen a horrid share of it. This port has for some time past been open for the importation of negroes. Several ships crowded with the wretched victims are now at the wharves. I have been on board them during the hours of sale, & felt all the horrors which the abominable traffic could inspire. One scene I shall never forget; three young girls of the same country, and of the same family, who had probably never been separated, who were comparatively happy, even as slaves, while together, were brought on deck, and one of them selected and bought by a planter. With the most piercing anguish she re-
ceived her master's habiliments, and stood ready to leave every thing dear to her. She appeared to be overloaded with horror and dismay at the separation from her two friends. They looked wistfully at her, and she at them. A last they threw themselves into each others arms, and burst into the most piteous exclamations. They hung together and sobbed and screamed and bathed each other with their tears. At length they were torn asunder by the unfeeling whites, and the planter's purchase dragged from the ship. But at parting, one of the girls took a string of beads with an amulet from her neck, kissed it, and hung it on her friend's. This was too much; I was afraid my emotions would be noticed, and I left the spot.

Esther M c Dowell.—A gentleman of this city has just called to inform us that he this morning received a letter from a relation in Canada, in which his friend assures him that this Esther M c Dowell is an impostor—a thing pretty well accented before.
[New-York Paper.]
From a London Paper. Died, suddenly, at Kingston, at the advanced age of 106 years, George Gregory, supposed to be the last of the crew of the Centurion; in which ship he circumnavigated the world with lord Anson; and what is more remarkable, he never had a day's illness since he went to sea, which was in the year 1714, when he was impressed in the Downs out of the Mary, a brig belonging to North Shields.
Extract of a letter from New-Orleans, dated February 26, 1804.
"The French and Spaniards seem almost in a state of rebellion here, as they are committing depredations almost every day and are continually robbing and murdering. Three attempts were made to burn the city last night. A few nights ago some villains broke into the store of Mr. James Johnson, of New-York.—Mr. J. having had a hint of the design laid wait for them—as soon as they entered, they made for the iron chest, when Mr. J. fired a blunderbuss, but missed them, they immediately made for the door, when Mr. J's companion fired a double barrel'd fowling piece and wounded two of them, one of which mortally. When daylight appeared they tracked them by the blood, caught two of the villains and conveyed them to jail. I have since heard that they have taken several others. Our danger is such, that I have been three nights on the patrol since my arrival, and, unless some other means are fallen on soon, I fear the consequences will be dreadful, as the French and Spaniards are determined to do some mischief shortly, and we have very few regular troops here to prevent them."
A duel has lately been fought at Savannah, originating, says a Charleston paper, in the following manner:—A few days ago a ball was celebrated in the town of Savannah. At the beginning of a country dance a couple of silly girls at the upper end of the set, commenced a quarrel about their title to the head!!! The young fellows, catching by a natural sympathy the fury that glared in their partner's eyes, took up the cudgels, passed their challenges, and met next morning on the field of honour: i. e. of pride and passion. At the same instant they both fired: when one of them, having his trigger finger shot off, exclaimed, "Well, I am satisfied." "But, by G—d, I am not" cried t'other. The second interposed their conciliating offices, but in vain. This young dare-devil would have another flash, and at a shorter distance. The monster met the vengeance he merited, for at the second fire he was shot through the heart.

[Major] SOLOMON MYER, [For two years a printer to the house of representatives.]
The man of the people, the bosom friend of our member of congress, and other great officers took his departure from this last week, by MOON LIGHT, and shortly after was followed by his family.
BOSTON, March 29.
Capt. Hills, in 24 days from Lisbon, informs, that no expectations were entertained when he sailed, that either Spain or Portugal would be involved in the war. The British Consul had arrived at Lisbon from Algiers. He mentioned that
Commodore Preble was proceeding to make an attempt to burn the Philadelphia, which still remained aground.
RIGHTS OF MAN
An old English Songster appears to understand this subject much better than the Abbe Sieyes, or even Tom Paine. In proof, we give the following stanza, from "Will Chip's true Rights of Man."
Equal rights; equal freedom; may each one possess! The richest no more, and the poorest no less! But all rights have their bounds the right to do evil, Is no right of man, but the right of the devil.

A FRAGMENT.
THE world's a play, Man's life's a day; A transitory scene; He's e'en a fly, Born but to die, Unknowing and unseen.
In morn we flourish like a flow'r, Unknown how short our stay; Yet ere 'tis noon perhaps the hour Arrives, that ends our day.
In vain we lives for aught That future scenes bestow; The present's all, though but a thought, We can enjoy, or know.
Deceitful HOPE prompts us to pass The NOW in thoughtless play, And ere we rouse, perhaps our glass Has run its sands away.
Enjoy the present hour, or none, Let fools on HOPE depend; Our glass is ever on the run— We know not where we end.
