From the Baltimore Telegraph.
THE following extract is taken from an eminent Literary Journal published in London, at this day, perhaps, the most reputable publication of the kind in Europe. On this occasion, it must be owned, that it has spoken no more than the truth; and every good American, whether he be an aristocrat or a democrat a federalist or republican, must lament the faithfulness of the disagreeable picture. It is a common but a true saying, "that we are more struck by the observations of our enemies, than by those of our friends."—In the present case, it behoves us to consider, with due and serious attention, what is said of us by the nations of Europe.—I doubt not, therefore, on this principle, that you, Mr Printer, will readily give this extract a place in your paper, in order, by its importance and publicity, it may have its due effect on the public mind, and teach our citizens not only to respect themselves at home, but also to make themselves respectable as a nation abroad.
It is possible to conceive that men of desperate and loose principles, may be induced to be the means of giving currency to those continued volumes of abuse, which, of late years have so much disgraced the American press on both sides of the question—but that men of rank and property, who have a stake and a character in society, men too who say they are lovers of religion and good order, should condescend to be the medium of the grossest licentiousness, is almost incredible. Let it be hoped, that the public mind of the American people is not become vicious and depraved beyond all remedy and redemption, but that the time is fast approaching, when men of every party and opinion will disavow and check this great evil—an evil which the English writer has justly said, "disgraces the American character, and may, in the end, subvert American liberty."
OBSERVATOR.
AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS.
An Extract.
"IN America no excise has been laid upon papers, nor has the stamping of newspapers, as yet, been resorted to in order to raise a governmental revenue. The eagerness of the American people for news is insatiable, and Gazettes are published not only in seaports and large towns, but in almost every village in the interior parts of the country. The number of these sheets which issue from the respective presses once, twice, thrice and six times a week, is incredible. As usual, they contain foreign and domestic intelligence, ship news and advertisements; but as elections are very frequent in America, and there takes place a competition between the rival candidates, the newspapers are resorted to on such occasions to discuss their merits and demerits, when all the political questions of the day are canvassed with wonderful keenness and acrimony—calumny, slander, and the grossest abuse are therefore exceedingly abundant in American newspapers, in which the licentiousness of the press is carried to a greater extent than in any other country in the world. The different parties which divide the politics of the country, attack each other in these publications with unexampled asperity and virulence. Venality, corruption and peculation are common charges against public men and the most reputable characters.—Cunning, duplicity, and every species of depravity are ascribed to each party by their opponents—atheism and deism, philosophism and illuminatism, are crimes attributed to one party, who retort upon their adversaries the charges of bigotry, superstition, hypocrisy and priestcraft!—To a foreigner who reads their gazettes, it would appear, that the rancor and intolerance of party politics raged with uncontrolled fury, had subverted every idea of decency and good manners, and that the social state of republican America was poisoned by the unbridled abuse of the press. These violent and inflammatory publications, not only indicate the bitter and furious spirit of individuals, but must have a contaminating effect on the public mind—they must have
an influence on the people who read them, and contribute, in no small degree, to foment and increase the unfocial and malevolent passions, engender hostility, and destroy do mestic tranquility—such gross licentiousness disgrace the American character, is subversive of true liberty, and must, in the end, annihilate their political existence."

Accounts received at Calcutta from Assam, report extensive injury to have been sustained at Ghergon, the capital of that country, in consequence of an earthquake which has demolished a considerable part of the city. In the confusion incident to this awful visitation, a fire obtained such irresistible violence as nearly to complete the destruction of the place; it extended likewise to some extensive powder works in the vicinity of the city, and which, in exploding, have done incredible damage. Several thousand persons were stated to have perished on these occasions.
March 7.
Yesterday we received Paris Journals to the 2d inst. and this morning those of the 3d reached us.
In the Moniteur of the latter date we find the following notice of the trial and conviction of M. Peltier, for his libel on the first consul:—
"A person by the name of Peltier, has been condemned by the London tribunals, for having published some wretched libel against the first consul. We cannot sufficiently conceive why the English ministry have been anxious to give so much celebrity to this affair."
"As the English Journals have stated that it took place on the demand of France, & that the French ambassador was present at the trial, we are fully authorized to refute both these reports. The first consul, for the first time, heard of the existence of those libels from the proceedings only."
The commander of every ship in the harbour of Portsmouth has received orders to repair to Spithead with all possible dispatch.
Sir Richard Strachan, according to letters from Gibraltar of the 9th ult. put in there on his way to Malta, with orders for the evacuation of the island. That such orders have been sent out we stated some time ago. All doubt upon the subject was removed by the exposition of the state of the French republic lately published by the French government. We are anxious to know whether any alteration has been made in the stipulations of the treaty of Amiens with respect to Malta. We are inclined to believe that no alteration has been made.
An article from Brussels says, that the expedition intended for Louisiana is now composed of two frigates, one cutter, and fifteen large transports, on board of which the troops are to be embarked, as well as arms, warlike stores of every description, and all the articles that are to be sent for the use of the colony. It may be depended on, that the expedition will sail about the 10th or 12th of March.
The Austrian troops have on a sudden received orders not to quit Passau.
A grand dinner was given to a party of Americans, by Mr. Erving, the American consul, at the London Tavern, on Friday last, the anniversary of the election of Mr. Jefferson to the office of President of the United States. The company was numerous, yet select. Many patriotic songs were sung—one in particular, written for the occasion, with the chorus, "Health to our Sachem and long may he live," was received with great applause.
There was a strong struggle, yesterday between the bulls and bears at the stock exchange. The latter carried their point before the close of the market, by reports which others were credulous enough to believe, that there was a misunderstanding in the cabinet, and that Mr. Addington was to be removed. The stocks fell about one per cent.
The same gambling was continued this morning, and the same kind of idle rumors, but with additional and more precise particulars. It is now said certain new arrangements were made yesterday at the Privy council, and that an important message will be sent to the Parliament this evening! By such reports the stocks were further depressed. At one o'clock the omnium was as low as 6 a 5 3-4 discount, and the 5 per cents at 69 3-4.
TEN DOLLARS REWARD.
ON Sunday night the 1st inst. my Store was broke open, and a small bag taken out of one of my trunks, containing ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS and SEVENTY-NINE CENTS in Cash; as it was money collected for Militia Fines, a considerable part was cut, and many pieces (18d. and 9d.) very small.—The bag is of yellow colour, being part of a tillot or covering on fine cloth, and marked "Militia Fines." The above reward will be paid on receiving such information as will enable me to convict the villain or villains.

A letter from Copenhagen, dated the 12th February, mentions that there was then in the hospital of that city a woman who had slept eleven weeks without interruption. Some attempts have been made to awake her from this trance, by violently shaking her; while the motion lasts, it seems to revive her; but as soon as it is discontinued, she immediately relapsed into a profound & death like sleep. During this period she has not received any food notwithstanding which there is not the least alteration in her appearance. She is only twenty-eight years of age, but remarkably corpulent.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Prussia (Bohemia) to his friend in Norfolk, dated Jan. 6, 1803.
"This country is in a deplorable state, having had no rain for three months past—all the wells are dried up; the emperor is obliged to have water sent here from the lower parts of the country to keep the people from perishing—a great number of the inhabitants die daily for want of that article. Rye is at the enormous rate of 6 dollars 37 cents per bushel; one potato will sell for a kreutzer (5 farthings) and every thing else in proportion."
The following recent articles of intelligence on the subject of galvanism, will be considered interesting by our literary and professional readers:
"It has been found by Dr. NAVCHE, at Paris, that a person perfectly blind may be made to perceive very lively and luminous flashes of light, by bringing one extremity of the voltaic pile into communication with the hand or foot, and the other with the face, skin of the head and even the neck.—That reiterated applications of Galvanism, when they comprehend the half trunk, produce in the person subjected to them, great agitation, many reveries, involuntary tears, increased secretion of the saliva, an acid or alkaline taste, a great secretion of the urine, and increase of heat and transpiration, and of perspiration in the Galvanised parts. That the action of the Galvanic fluid may be increased by drawing it off by a sharp point."
NEW-YORK, April 16.
Symptoms of War in Europe.
Captain Sterling of the ship Mercury, who arrived on Thursday, in 31 days from Liverpool, informs, that on the 10th of March, the day of his sailing, he received from London with orders for an immediate impressment of every seaman in the port of Liverpool, in consequence of which every outward merchantman was instantly stripped of all their hands. A press boat came alongside the Mercury but did not molest her. Capt. S. saw a boat with a press-gang on board, in chase of a Dublin packet, outward bound, but it did not overtake it. Impending War was the general rumor of the day, in consequence, as was suggested, of some difference between England and France, with respect to the surrender of Malta. A London paper of the 8th of March, mentions the depression of the price of stocks, and speaks confidently of an approaching change of Ministry. D. Adv.
The following is a copy of a letter from Mr. Gascoigne, Member of Parliament from Liverpool, to the Mayor of that city, dated

"Dear Sir, "War is expected—a message this day from the King to the House of that tendency—Militia expected to be called to guard against invasion—Stocks down 4 per cent—Mr. Pitt it is supposed will return soon to power. I have time to add no more, it being 6 o'clock. "J. GASCOIGNE."
BALTIMORE, April 21.
A letter from Liverpool of the 10th March, received at Philadelphia, alluding to Mr. Gascoigne's letter, observes
"But this is not all the evidence we have of this circumstance—A host of information has reached us from London, all of which indicate an inevitable and immediate war."
A letter from a gentleman in an official capacity at Berlin (Prussia) to his correspondent in New-York, dated the last of February, lays, that "war is inevitable."
NEW-YORK, April 22. INTERESTING.
Extract of a letter, just received, dated Gibraltar, March 9.
"Yesterday, by accident, I saw part of a private letter from Mr. O'Brien, at Algiers, to Mr. Gavino, our consul at this place. As near as I can recollect, he expresses great fears that a rupture will shortly take place between the Dey of Algiers and the United States, owing partly to our government sending the annual tribute in cash, instead of naval stores, which he is in great want of. This circumstance, added to the great present he has lately received from the court of Madrid, has made him a little testy. He has made a demand of 180,000 dollars from the court of Great Britain, as an equivalent for 18 slaves, that made their escape from Oran in an English vessel: this demand I do not think will be complied with. He has also broke his treaty with France, and made a demand on that government for 60,000 dollars."
"Mr. O'Brien, after saying, that he does not think himself safe at Algiers, and requesting Mr. Gavino to forward his letters under cover to the Swedish Consul, concludes with,
"On the 10th of February, a Spanish frigate arrived here with the new Spanish Consul, who brought a present to the Dey of 50,000 dollars, besides 120 fathom, (making 120,000 dollars) to pay the arrears due from the court of Madrid to the Regency. Upon the receipt of the money, the Dey ordered three cruisers to be ready for sea the next week. There is no knowing the force of the Dey's squads."
HAGUE, March 4.
Last Tuesday an adjutant of general Victor arrived here, bringing intelligence that it is finally settled that general Berthier will not repair to his late destination in Germany, but that he will hold his first appointment in quality of chief of the general staff of the Louisiana expedition. This has proved very agreeable intelligence to all who belong to this expedition.
It is now asserted, that the French minister of marine has issued orders for the sailing of this fleet on the 1st Germinal (March 22.)
LONDON, March 8.
A Dutch mail arrived yesterday evening. A letter from Constantinople, by this conveyance, states that a negotiation carried on by the British in favour of the Bays had at last terminated in an arrangement, by which the Bays are to be suffered to live in privacy in a village in Upper Egypt, as subjects to the Porte. In consequence of this arrangement, it is said the evacuation of Egypt by our troops was immediately to take place. They were to proceed to Malta.
NATCHEZ, April 9.
A letter from a gentleman at New Orleans to his friend in this city, dated March 29, says, "The Marquis de Casa Calvo is hourly expected here:—to make a formal delivery of the province to the French, having been appointed by his court for that purpose. The difficulties respecting the American deposit will soon be done away: I am told that the Prefect has expressed himself to that purpose. Three thousand troops are hourly expected."
PROCLAMATION.
IN THE NAME OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.
LAUSSAT, COLONIAL PREFECT, TO THE LOUISIANIANS.
YOUR separation from France forms a most shameful epocha in its calander, under a weak corrupted government, after an ignominious war and consequently a dishonorable peace.
To a cowardly and unnatural renunciation, you presented the contrast of heroic love, fidelity and courage. Every French heart sympathized with you, and still held in remembrance; they then exclaimed with pride, which has been unceasingly repeated—"the same blood flows in our veins."
As soon as they retrieved their dignity and re-established their fame, by the revolution and one continued scene of triumph, they TURNED THEIR THOUGHTS TOWARDS YOU—you became the subject of their first negotiations, and they determined that your retrocession should be one of the first objects of peace.
That period had not then arrived. It became necessary that a MAN should come forward, endowed with every national, grand, magnanimous and just quality; who to his eminently victorious talents united the still rarer one of drawing the most beneficial consequence, from them; who from the ascendancy of his character, inspired his enemies with terror, his allies with confidence; whose penetrating genius developed the true interests of his country, and with inflexible resolution pursued them; who was finally born to replace France on her firmest
basis, re-establish her in the full extent of her limits, and wipe away every stain in her annals.
This man now rules our destinies, and from henceforward, Louisianians, he guarantees you and yours.
To render your prospects flourishing, will be only to aid the prodigality of nature in this happy soil: such are the intentions of the French government. To preserve peace and friendship with all your neighbors, protect your commerce, encourage agriculture, people your deserts, stimulate labour and industry, respect property, customs and opinions, pay homage to religious worship, honour, probity and integrity, continue the laws in their full force and energy, and not alter them but with caution and experience, maintain firm and vigilant police, introduce order and permanent economy throughout every branch of public administration, strengthen the ties which the same origin, the same inclinations establish between this colony and the mother country, is, Louisianians, the object of the honorable mission with which your Captain General, VICTOR, (General of Division) your Colonial Prefect, and Citizen ARYE, your Judicial Commissary, congratulate themselves on being charged with you.
The reputation of the Captain General has preceded him: a brother in arms of the First Consul, he distinguished himself in the campaigns of the famous army of Italy; on less brilliant occasions, he astonished Suwarrows, and precipitated his flight; he became at last one of BONAPARTE's lieutenants at the battle of Marengo. But those honorable badges of fame, Louisianians, are accompanied with a sincere wish to render himself dear to you, by the exercise of every virtue, care and attention, which the chiefs can employ to ensure the happiness of the people. His anxiety for your welfare, the purity of his intentions, the justice of his views, the urbanity and affability of his manners and accents, in addition to his valour and military laurels, claim your confidence and affection.
He comes to you with troops, the fame of whose valour and exploits, have reached the most distant climes: Batavia since the peace, reverenced their good conduct and excellent discipline; you, likewise cannot but admire them.
Finally, Louisianians, you will find the Commissary fraught with justice, wisdom, equity, impartiality and disinterestedness: he presents himself to you known and powerfully recommended by the eminence of his talents, his proscriptio, and his misfortunes.
You will then under these impressions, congratulate yourselves on becoming once more Frenchmen: you will be daily sensible of the value of this title, an object of envy throughout the globe.
We know, however, Louisianians, and cannot dissemble, that Spain, for thirty years past, laboured by the mildness of a generous, reparatory government, to efface the sanguinary conduct of an agent* unworthy of that noble nation; she is the strict and faithful friend of ours; and far be it from us to inspire you with ingratitude towards her.
We shall endeavor to rival the benevolent exertions of the chosen chiefs she sent you.
Your attachment to the French Republic, our common country, your gratitude to those who restore you to it, and who send us hither, the daily scene of your increasing prosperity, will be, Louisianians, the reward we shall incessantly aim at, of a zeal and indefatigability whose only bounds will be the execution of our duty and trust.
Dated at New Orleans, in the 11th year of the French Republic.

From the National Intelligencer, of the 19th April.
The following important letter has been this day sent by express to New Orleans:
SIR,
I have the pleasure to impart to you, without a moment's delay, that by dispatches which I have just received from my government, brought by a brig of war of the King my master, dispatched for this purpose alone, I see confirmed all the assurances which I gave you on various preceding occasions, when I received information of the difficulties, which the citizens of the United States experienced in consequence of being deprived of the place of deposit on the Spanish banks of the Mississippi, by the decree of the Intendant of New Orleans. His Catholic Majesty, as just in his resolution as desirous of living in the greatest harmony with the United States, has provided that the deposit should continue at New Orleans until the two governments shall come to an agreement about another equivalent place; and to the end that this Royal provision may be promptly and punctually carried into effect, the necessary orders are communicated to the Intendant and to the Captain General of Louisiana, of which I transmit you the originals in order that you may be pleased to forward them to New Orleans.
I hasten to acquaint you of it with much satisfaction, in order that you may communicate it to the President of the United States, as soon as possible; and I pray God to preserve your life many years.
Washington, April 19, 1803.
I kiss your hand. Your most obedient, And faithful servant, THE MARQUIS OF CASA YRUJO. James Madison, Esq.
MR. BRADFORD.
I HAVE observed in your last paper a publication signed ASA K. LEWIS, addressed to the Honorable BUCKNER THRUSTON. What charges are intended to be exhibited against Judge Thruston, or what can be the object of the author in publishing this address, I am at a loss to determine, but being convinced that Mr. Lewis has made an incorrect statement of facts and drawn improper conclusions, I consider it a duty I owe to my friend, to myself and to the public, to correct the errors and make some remarks on the subject. If the address contains a charge, it is that Judge Thruston had promised Mr. Thos. January in 1801 he could prevail on me to decline as a candidate for the clerkship, he would favor Mr. January's pretensions; and when a similar application was made by Mr. Lewis, it was rejected with warmth.
I was acquainted with every circumstance relative to Mr. January's application, and am convinced Mr. Lewis's statement is incorrect and very partial. Some time after the Circuit Courts were established, Mr. Thomas January informed me, he had intended being a candidate for the Fayette Circuit Court Clerkship; that he had mentioned the subject to Mr. Thruston, who informed him, that he would vote for me, and gave as a reason, that I had before been in office under his appointment, and my conduct met his approbation, and therefore he could give Mr. January no encouragement. Mr. January then told me, that from the long intimacy and friendship which subsisted between Judge Lewis and himself, he had every reason to expect that Mr. Lewis would vote for him; and wished to know, should that be the case, if a compromise could take place between us.
In a conversation with Judge Thruston, he mentioned to me, that should Mr. January procure Mr. Lewis's vote, obtain satisfactory certificates of his qualifications and could prevail on me to decline, he would be inclined to favor Mr. January's pretensions, but would rather he would not offer as it would place him in a delicate situation. I informed Mr. January, that as I had made proposals of accommodation to General Levi Todd, which he rejected, I was willing to compromise with whoever got Judge Lewis's vote on terms equal and honorable, and proposed, that in case Mr. Lewis voted for him we would determine by lot which of us should name a sum that he would give or take, and let the other make his election. This proposition Mr. January thought fair and immediately applied to Mr. Lewis for his vote, who after some deliberation told him that agreeable to his present views, he could give him no encouragement. Apprehensive that this proposition might operate against me with Judge Lewis, I thought proper to repeat to him the whole conversation, and state the manner in which it happened; after which Judge Lewis declared to me, that from my candor and liberal offers, he was induced to communicate to me his mind on the subject; informed me his son was a candidate and would get his vote, and that any compromise we could make between ourselves would meet his approbation. Offers were made by Asa K. Lewis, to induce me to relinquish my pretensions, which I rejected, and refused to decline on any terms, but was willing to make the same compromise with him that I had offered Gen. Todd, and Mr. January. He then applied to Judge Thruston to know if in case he could prevail on me to decline, would he vote for him? the Judge told him positively that he would not, Mr. Lewis then informed me, our negotiation was at an end, but he continued to be a candidate. As to what passed in the jury room, I know not, but am certain that both Judge Thruston and Gen. Robert Todd, were uniform and public in their declarations that they would not vote for Mr. Lewis, because they were of opinion he could not be qualified. As to the charge of trick and intrigue it is scarcely worth noticing, because it is well known that the compromise which took place was public and fair, and that Judge Thruston had nothing to do with it; I cannot take it to myself, for I did nothing but what was open and above board.
It would be disagreeable to me to state every particular circumstance attending the affair, nor do I wish to hurt the feelings of any one concerned, and have only mentioned such facts as will enable the public to determine, whether the charge of indelicacy and prejudice , will most properly apply to Judge Thruston or to Mr. Lewis.
I am really sorry that the gentleman has troubled the public on the occasion; he has convinced the world that the spirit of resentment has not subsided, nor is the mortification of disappointment worn away.
The disinterested, candid, and gentlemanly conduct of Judge Thruston on this occasion, has been observed by many of his fellow-citizens, and must meet the approbation of all who are not prejudiced. His character as a judge, as a
man of talents and integrity, and as a respectable citizen, stand too high to be injured by newspaper abuse from the pen of a person rouled by resentment and wounded by disappointment.
Confident that Judge Thruston will take no notice of Mr. Lewis or his address, and convinced of the misrepresentations it contains, to prevent improper impressions on the minds of those unacquainted with the affair, I have thought proper to make this reply—the public will judge who ought to be censured.

THE MISANTHOPE.
THERE was a cave o'erhung with thorn, Ic jutted near the sea; It was a solitude forlorn, And if a linking wretch could be Directed to his cave—his blood Would mingle with the raging flood! There dwelt a Misanthrope, whose plan Was hostile to the peace of man!
His shaggy hair, erect and wild, 'Was terrible to see; And if he frown'd, or if he smil'd, A thing more gaunt there could not be; For ev'ry starting bone was seen, And famine mark'd his frantic mein; And still the wretched Maniac's plan Was hostile to the peace of man!
And why was nature thus at strife With all the joys of man? A brother had assail'd his life— A brother stole the maid ador'd! In whom his treasur'd hopes were stor'd And dark his race of life began!
A father, too, with rage severe, Had mock'd the maniac's burning tear; And still where'er he bent his way, Insulting man he found— Prepar'd his breath to wound; While pride's averted eye Look'd like the cheerless sky Of winter's freezing day;— Then wonder not the Maniac's plan Was hostile to the peace of man!
Five winters had he pass'd Upon the rude rock's side; Five stormy winters had the blast Howl'd o'er the foaming tide; Man's voice he heard no more Save when the ship wreck'd soul Was doom'd amid the waves to roll, Lab'ring to reach the shore. Five summers had he seen The light'ning sweep The outstretch'd, wavy green; The morn awoke, the ev'ning clos'd, Upon his slinty bed, And seldom he repos'd, For burning was his feverish head, And yet he could not weep. Where'er he bent his blood-shot eyes, A rival brother seem'd to rise; A cruel father mock'd his groan! 'Twas visionary all, the Maniac was alone!
Then, wonder not his frenzied plan Was hostile to the peace of man!  Sullen, within his bow'r of thorn, He fete in mournful mood; And shudder'd, that a fiend was born, To seek a brother's blood! And thus he ponder'd, till his brain Was wither'd by a burning pain! And then a parent's curse unkind Haunted his ever busy mind! And then the lovely maid forsworn, Would to his shattered sense return, With ev'ry dear disjunctive grace, Clasp'd in a brother's false embrace. Then wonder not the Maniac's plan Was hostile to the peace of man!
One night the moon rose high, Bright were the waves, and clear the sky, 'Twas summer time, And o'er the main A calm sublime, Was seen to reign! When flow the curling billows bore, Lab'ring to reach the pebbly shore, Two ship-wreck'd souls! The maniac flood, Watching, with frantic joy, the flood; But when the sun above the sea Rose cheerfully— Oh God! the Misanthrope beheld expire A guilty brother—and a barb'rous fire! M. B.

MONTEZUMA,
A Fine Large JACK ASS,
WILL stand at my farm, one and a half miles from Lexington, and will be let to mares at 10 dollars the season, payable in Cash or Hemp, de- livered in Lexington—Or any per- son or persons putting five mares by the season may discharge the same by one mule colt, (in good order, coming from a mare 15 hands high) delivered at five or six months old. The season to commence the 20th April, and end the 20th October.
MONTEZUMA is about three and a half years old, near or quite 13 hands high, and is of the large breed in Mexico. He was travelled when two years old 1000 miles to Nat- chez, and from thence to this state, which no doubt has been prejudicial to his growth.
Mules are produced in Mexico to 14 1-2 hands in height, from this strain or breed of Jacks, and small mares, running at large in the woods without grain. They will sell in the Southern states for more money than large draught horses, and when shipped to the West Indies, are sold at double that value. They can be raised as cheap as a steer, and travelled to South Carolina, or Georgia, for one dollar expence for twenty that a horse can. There is much less danger from distempers. Kentucky has no competition in mule raising but from the New-Eng- land states; and there they are not raised to any size, the climate be- ing too cold, and all authors assert, that the ass flourishes best in mode- rate climates. The rage for breed- ing horses here, will reduce the price of any market, which can't be done in mules for a century, as the West India market has never yet been fully supplied.

*** A fabulous report prevails that mares will not breed from the horse, after mules—authors contra- dict the report—and any person may see a mare on my farm now with foal of her eighth colt, after having bred a mule.
