The celebrated, full bred Imported Horse
BARONET,
IS on his way from New-York to this place, where he will stand next season, and be let to mares. He has perhaps won more money than any other horse ever imported from England; he won at one time the Oatland Stakes of 1900 guineas, beating 18 of the best horses in the kingdom of Great Britain, besides a number of purges. A list of his performances on the turf, together with his pedigree, will be made known on his arrival. Also the
Noted Imported full bred Hunter,
HIGHFLYER,
Will come in company with him. 6t Lexington, Oct. 25, 1803.
Three Hundred Dollars Reward,
WILL be paid for apprehending my young, tall, slim, negro man TOM, about twenty years of age, with two large bright
Sorrel Horses,
And the villain or villains who have stolen them, with proof to bring them to conviction. The horses are of the following description—One of them is an uncommonly large horse, being about five and an half feet high, and very strong made, with a hollow spot on the upper part of his shoulder blade on the mounting side, about the size of a man's hand, and known in the upper country to be the effect of the disorder that is there generally called the Swainy, his mane hangs on both sides, he carries a light short switch tail that was formerly docked and has been nicked, has no natural white marks nor brand that is recollected, is a very fine draft horse, about seven years old, and walks, trots and canters remarkably well under the saddle, for a horse of his great weight. The other horse is about five feet and an inch high, and lengthy made, has generally a film on his off eye, in which he is blind though the eye is not funk, and has a handsome star and narrow blaze, with one of his hinder feet a little white, and one of his fore legs appears to have been formerly cut by a hobble, his withers is thin and high, on which he has the marks of old galls and is now fresh galled by the tree of the saddle being broken under the pommel, on which the said servant rides, with a colored horse rug under the saddle; the horse walks with an unusual limping behind and very fast and pleasant to the rider, trots long, loose and uneasily, canters tolerably well, has a well hanging mane and long switch tail, which may perhaps be newly docked, and is about ten years old, and is altogether a handsome saddle horse, and draws also well.
The aforesaid servant left Charleston, South Carolina, on the 14th September, dressed in a white negro cloth round jacket with black horn buttons and osnaburgs overalls, but took with him a brown colored Indian round jacket and overalls, with reddish colored facings; he was to have carried the aforesaid bright sorrel horses to my place, 19 miles from Charleston, in Goose-Creek Parish and near the bridge, and being a total stranger in all other parts of the state, the presumption is, that he must have been forced off by villain or villains, in which case, on conviction of them, the above reward will be paid, if taken out of the state, and if within the state, a reward of Two Hundred Dollars on their being delivered to me, in Charleston, No. 34, Church Street, or otherwise, Fifty Dollars for each horse, and One Hundred Dollars for the said servant, who has the little toe of one of his feet off, and is of a heavy countenance, and answers dull and slow.

TO THE PEOPLE OF KENTUCKY.
A FEW days ago a man was brought from Floyd county, to the jail of the Circuit in Mount Sterling, to be committed on an indictment for felony, found against him at the last circuit court.
It is presumed that this opinion will meet with but few advocates. Yet it is an opinion judicially given, on a question extremely interesting to civilized man; and from which there is no direct mode of appeal, or adequate means of redress.
One fact is sufficiently obvious, viz. that the Legislature have not, in this instance adapted the law to the understandings of those whom it has deputed to carry it into execution: and the natural remedy is for the Legislature to remove the doubt.
Ambiguity and obscurity are said by rhetoricians, to be the greatest faults a writer can be guilty of; and surely these faults must be more aggravated in law, than in any other science—more so in the criminal than in the civil code; and peculiarly so when the judges themselves are ignorant of the very rudiments of the science.
A mode of prosecution in criminal cases, is growing into fashion, which seems unauthorized by the spirit of our laws. It is as follows:—The prosecutor goes before the grand jury and gives information, an indictment is found, and thereupon a Capias, returnable to the next court, is awarded.
To the cessions under which a claim you were parties. The faith of governments, is the faith of nations; and your loyalty was pledged to us through the competent organ.
Is it for your good, or from the influence of ministerial intrigue and jealousy, that Spain will strive to rob you of the brilliant destiny now inviting your acceptance? Will you seize her sword, and vainly endeavor to kill the fate of New-Orleans? It is a duty of friendship to arrest the self-murdering arm of a maniac.
WILLIAM LITTELL. Mount Sterling, Nov. 21st, 1803.
From the National Intelligencer.
THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES,
TO THE PEOPLE OF NEW-ORLEANS.
Brothers,
Spain has transferred the country of Louisiana to France, and France has
transferred it to us. Spain has received the kingdom of Etruria, and France is to receive fifteen millions of dollars.
The injustice and impolicy of Spain, can never inspire us with folly and cowardice. We will have our right; but you are to determine, whether you will participate in that right or invade it for the sake of Spain; whether you will accept a share of our prosperity, or attempt to stem its current.
New-Orleans, although old, is yet a dwarf; and states in our confederation, born but yesterday, are already arrived to the prowels of manhood.
Nature has pronounced that the inhabitants upon the Mississippi and on the island of New-Orleans, shall be one people; and it is your peculiar felicity, that her decree is to be executed under the auspices of a philosopher, who prefers justice to conquest; whose glory is to make men free, and not slaves, and who delights in benevolence, and not in splendor;
Your alternative is plain. It lies between making your little district, a field of war, or a garden of peace. Circumscribed as it is, the most rigid discipline could not save it from devastation. It is your own fiat, which will strew it with ruins or with palaces.
To the cessions under which a claim you were parties. The faith of governments, is the faith of nations; and your loyalty was pledged to us through the competent organ.
Is it for your good, or from the influence of ministerial intrigue and jealousy, that Spain will strive to rob you of the brilliant destiny now inviting your acceptance? Will you seize her sword, and vainly endeavor to kill the fate of New-Orleans? It is a duty of friendship to arrest the self-murdering arm of a maniac.
Thus when Spain beholds us extending to you, the descendants of her children and once her subjects, every blessing we can gain by the cession of Louisiana, and every blessing we derive from our form of government, our justice and her gratitude, will constitute a new link in the chain of national friendship.
If a state now in our union, should break its faith, withhold our rights, or be wanting in loyalty; we should act towards it, as we will towards you.
We would enforce our rights, and ex-
actress you; not as provincials, or subjects, but as
Fellow Citizens & Brothers.
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in Washington City, directed to the Editor of the Republican Advocate, a newspaper printed at Frederick-Town, Maryland.
DEAR FRIEND, You have, perhaps, been much disturbed with a report concerning a protest said to have been made by the Spanish Minister against the occupation of Louisiana by your government.
Report of the committee to whom was referred the Memorial of Joseph Harrison and others, resident in that part of the Indiana Territory which lies north of an east & west line, extending through the southwardly extreme of Lake Michigan.
That it appears from the census taken under the authority of the United States in the year 1800, the territory above described, contained 3972 free white inhabitants at that time.
It also appears from the best information the committee have been able to obtain, that these inhabitants are separated from the other settlements of the Indiana Territory, by a tract of Indian country, at least three hundred and fifty miles in extent;
The committee are of opinion, that the local situation of the inhabitants at Detroit, and of the adjacent settlements, require the special attention of the general government, for reasons too obvious to every one, who will examine their geographical relations, to be enumerated.
On the one side, their settlements adjoin to, and are bounded by the British province of Canada; and on the other sides, are wholly encompassed by Indian tribes.
Resolved, That the prayer of the memorial of Joseph Harrison and others, ought to be granted, and that all that portion of the Indiana territory which lies north of a line drawn east from the southernmost extreme of Lake Michigan, until it intersects Lake Erie, and west from the said southernmost extreme of Lake Michigan, until it intersects the Mississippi river, shall form a separate territory, and that the said territory shall in all respects be governed by and according to the principles and regulations contained in an Ordinance for the government of the territory of the United States North West of the river Ohio, passed on the 13th day of July, 1787.
Adopted by the Senate, November 1st, 1803.
RASTADT, September 5.
Doctor Haug, of this city, has received the following interesting letter from Dr. Carro, of Vienna, dated the 23d of August.
"A discovery which will excite your astonishment, as well as that of the whole world, has been made by two physicians, a Mr. Aubon of Constantinople, and a Mr. Lafond of Salonichi, a city in Macedonia.
The experiments made by these two medical men have a perfect, though merely accidental, coincidence; and those made by both give the assurance, that the vaccine matter is a sovereign prevention for the ravages of the plague.
LONDON, September 27. Evening.—Dispatches were last night forwarded from the Secretary of State's office to Portsmouth, to be sent on board the Excellent, of 74 guns, Captain Southerton, for Sir Alexander Ball, the English Minister at Malta; and also to Gibraltar, addressed to the commanding officer.
Private letters by the Hamburg mail of Sunday report the accounts already published, of the hostile disposition of France towards Portugal; and add, that one of the conditions insisted upon by General Lafesse, was the total exclusion of British ships from the port of Portugal.
By an American vessel which arrived at Hull on Friday from Rotterdam, some intelligence has been received respecting the preparations of the enemy, which may be relied on. In the Meuse and other rivers, an immense number of gun boats are building, and at Rotterdam alone 2000 ship carpenters and other workmen are employed in the construction of vessels of a similar description.
PHILADELPHIA Nov. 11. The Foreign News, by the Chatham, Chew, from Liverpool, arrived at New-York, though six days later than before received, is not of the first importance. Bonaparte was pursuing his plans and operations for the invasion of England—Spain, once a bold and enterprising nation, has fallen beneath contempt; she has consented to pay annually, to the first Consul of France, £ 3,000,000 sterling for his promise that she should remain neutral during the present contest.
"Then shall their foes repent their bold invasion, And roving armies shun the fatal shore."
NEW-YORK, Nov. 8.
The preparations for invading England were progressing with considerable activity in the ports of France, and it was expected the attempt would speedily be made.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 11. United States frigate Philadelphia, East of Malaga, about 10 miles.
Monday, 29th Aug. 1803. JAMES SIMPSON, Esq. DEAR SIR,
I wrote you from Gibraltar on the 24th inst. mentioning that we should sail the next morning for Malta.
Hearing at the Rock, that two Tripolitans were off Cape de Gatt, made me proceed with all expedition to examine that part of the Spanish coast. On the 26th, it blowing very fresh, at 8, P. M. being nearly up with Cape de Gatt, fell in with a ship carrying only her fore sail, which had a brig in company, under the same sail.
PHILADELPHIA Nov. 11. The Foreign News, by the Chatham, Chew, from Liverpool, arrived at New-York, though six days later than before received, is not of the first importance.

The preparations for invading England were progressing with considerable activity in the ports of France, and it was expected the attempt would speedily be made.
FRENCH ARMY OF ENGLAND.
Right Wing. General Davoust, commander of
much disposed for hostilities with

the United States—the Moorish prisoners accuse him as the sole cause of their present situation. Sincerely hope that the capture may be productive of good effects to the United States with the emperor, who may be assured, that if he unjustly goes to war with the United States, he will lose every large cruiser he has; and God grant that it may not in the least prove a disadvantage to you.—My officers and self have made it a marked point to treat the prisoners not only with the lenity that is due from humanity, but with particular attention and civility, to impress on their minds a favorable opinion of the American character. That you may receive this information as early as possible, I dispatch my boat on shore at Malaga, to request William Kirkpatrick, Esq. consul, to send it by express to Gibraltar.—I shall be extremely anxious to hear from you, as also for the arrival of commodore Preble, to receive his instructions relative to the captured ships.—I am bound to Gibraltar Bay with the prize, but am fearful we shall be detained for want of an eastwardly wind.
I am, &c. (Signed) WM. BAINBRIDGE.

ON the motion of the complainant by his counsel, it is ordered that he have leave to take depositions on the 15th day of December next, at the house of Gathbert Combs, in Clarke county, to perpetuate testimony to establish the special calls of an entry made in the name of John Wigginton, the third of December, 1782, on a treasury warrant No. 3158, of 1000 acres; beginning on the west side of Upper Howard's creek at a sugar tree marked H.

LEXINGTON, NOVEMBER 29. IN our next paper we shall commence the publication of an important tract, communicated to Congress by the President of the United States; being an abstract of documents, in the offices of the Departments of State and of the Treasury, containing information respecting the present state of Louisiana, furnished the Executive by individuals the best informed upon that subject.—A few copies will be printed in a pamphlet.
From various parts of the state we have the most flattering accounts of the patriotic spirit of our citizens—scarcely a company muster takes place, without at least half the men voluntarily offering their services in the cause of their country. We have heard of but one company in which the men have appeared backward—in that it is said they were obliged to resort to a draft. We hope our information is incorrect.
Whilst we view with pleasure the military ardour which pervades our countrymen, we have the satisfaction to state, that the probability is, their services will not be necessary to acquire possession of Louisiana. We have received Natchez papers to the 31st ult. and letters are in town from New-Orleans to the 27th, all of which are entirely silent as to any defensive preparations by the Spaniards; nor was the idea of their refusing to deliver up that country, hinted at.
COMMUNICATED. ON Saturday last Capt. Wm. Stevenson's company of militia, met for the purpose of mustering, when near one third turned out as volunteers, in the proposed expedition to New-Orleans.—The supernumerary sons of '76, (a number of whom had met at the muster ground) subscribed to near the amount of 100 dollars, as a bounty to those brave men who volunteered in their country's cause. It is to be hoped that the like example will pervade the state generally.—Ye tyrants tremble, & aristocrats be dumb—the voice of Justice is the voice of God.
The following resolution has passed both houses of the Legislature.
IN GENERAL ASSEMBLY. WHEREAS, by a resolution of the late General Assembly, the people of this commonwealth stand pledged to support at the expence of their lives and fortunes, such measures as the government of the United States might pursue, to secure to the citizens, not only the free and uninterrupted navigation of the Mississippi, but also a place of deposit for their produce on its banks. And whereas, by the treaty concluded with France, not only these objects have been secured, but a great acquisition of territory obtained, the future advantages of which are almost incalculable.
And whereas, the President of the United States has required the governor of this commonwealth to have in readiness by the twentieth of December next, four thousand militia volunteers, to serve on a four months expedition to Louisiana.
RESOLVED, That each non-commissioned officer and private, who shall voluntarily enter into service, and actually descend the river Mississippi, on the said expedition, in the said corps of volunteers, and shall serve out the time for which they shall be enlisted, unless sooner discharged, shall receive as a compensation in addition to the pay and emoluments provided by the law of the United States, a warrant for one hundred and fifty acres of land, which may be located on any waste and unappropriated land in this commonwealth, and a bill pursuant to the said resolution shall be brought in to appropriate the said lands, and make provision accordingly.
LONDON, September 30. Letter from a naval officer to a nobleman of distinction, dated
His majesty's ship Utrecht, Wednesday evening, 3 o'clock. "My Lord—The bomb vessels and gunboats were bombarding Calais all yesterday, and set fire to the town. The object was to destroy the boats that had lately entered. They have again been bombarding this morning, and one of the Utrecht's lieutenants is this instant arrived. He left Calais when the enemy's boats were coming out. He supposes the inhabitants forced them out to save their vessels in close action with them for twenty minutes. He was ordered over with the dispatch. I have seen the action from the mast head for two hours. It appears by the smoke they are running along shore towards Boulogne. It is most probable that some of them will be taken or destroyed before they can reach that place. I write this in great haste, thinking the intelligence may be interesting."
Dover, Sep. 29. It appears that another attack has been made on Boulogne; for the violent cannonade, which we heard yesterday, was continued at intervals during the greater part of this night, and seemed to proceed from that quarter. It has
been very violent during the greater part of the day, and at this moment (half past 4 P. M.) is more violent than ever; I dare an interval can be discerned between the firing of shot and shells. Report says, that the inhabitants of Calais, fearing the total destruction of their town, forced the gun boats to sea, which were pursued by our squadron to Boulogne, and where they were throwing shells to destroy them. Nothing however has come from them with any certain intelligence. The launch of the Immortalite came in just now for powder, but was forced to go without, there being only sufficient to supply the garrison.
5 o'clock.—A sloop of war, cutter and luggers, are just come out of the Downs, going to the assistance of our squadron: it seems as if their orders were pressing, as they have every inch of canvas they can spread, and boats ahead towing beside, with the men stripped to the shirt. The jar of the bombs is very feebly felt here: we are all extremely anxious for news from them.
October 2. From the account of a gentleman who was at Granville, when that place was attacked by Sir James Saumarez, and who arrived at Plymouth on Thursday, it appears that by the bombardment, six houses was destroyed, some small vessels and one gun-boat sunk, and one of the inhabitants was killed. There were, however, sixteen gun-boats at Granville ready for sea, eight upon the stocks, and a vast number of troops were assembled in that neighbourhood for the embarking on the expedition against this country.
The magnitude of the preparations which are making in France and Holland, for the invasion and conquest of our country, exceeds, we are told, every idea that seems to be entertained of it here. This information, a paper of Saturdays lays, has been obtained from a gentleman now in this city, who left Havre de Grace so lately as the 10th September, and describes the plan projected by the Corsican tyrant, for our subjugation, as immense beyond conception. He states, that at Havre only, the number of vessels intended for the enterprize, amounted to several hundred; that each vessel is 100 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 20 feet high, and has three keels, that they are so constructed as not only to carry a large number of men, but horses also, for the embarkation and debarkation of which, folding-ports open in their sides. He further states, that similar preparations were going on in all the other ports; that it was there generally asserted, and believed that the Usurper intended making the attempt with 400,000 men, calculating upon the loss of a fourth, or a greater proportion of them before they should effect a landing; but holding out to his abject slaves the certainty of ultimate success, and the plunder of this abode of real liberty.
The gentleman from whom this information comes, is said to be a person of much observation and intelligence, and whose veracity may be relied on. We have mentioned these circumstances not to depress our countrymen, but rather, if it be possible, still further to encrease that enthusiasm in the cause of their king and country, which so universally pervades all ranks of people. Thus prepared, with every man at his post, however desperate may be the attempt against us, we doubt not but it will terminate in the shame and defeat of our enemies, and in the perpetuation of British Liberty and Independence.

ELEGY
WRITTEN BY A YOUNG GENTLEMAN IN A CONSUMPTION.
SICKNESS, I yield to thy subduing sway,
A livid paleness o'er each feature steals; Wildly irregular my pulses play, And all my frame a listless languor feels.
Dim are those eyes that once re- splendant shone, And faint the throbbings of this a- ching breast; My falt'ring voice has lost its won- ted tone, And all my sorrows are by sighs express'd.
Few are the transports I may hope to share, While here a ling'ring victim I re- main; Anticipation heightens my despair, And retrospection sharpens every pain.
The sport of youth, in which I once partook, Alas! no more the throbbing smile can wake: On every scene I cast a heedless look, Nor know but that may be the last I take.
The social converse of my only friend, So pleasing once I now can scarce- ly bear; E'en should an angel from the skies descend, His fine ton'd accents would dif- ficult mine ear.
The frowns of censure and the smiles of praise, Act on my feelings in the same de- gree; The same emotion in my bosom raise, For all alike is vanity to me.
In vain I've tried each Esclapean art To sooth my anguish, and my health regain; Life's vital tide scarce issues from my heart, And slowly creeps along each cir- cling vein.
When o'er my glass my heavy eye- balls stray, That glass, forever to its purpose true; My meagre form I shudder to survey, And almost doubt if 'tis myself I view.
How chang'd, how alter'd from my former plight, When youthful vigor ev'ry sinew strung; When fancy wing'd her bold excur- sive flight, And notes of rapture warbled on my tongue!
The dreams of pleasure which I then pursu'd No more shall charm me with their specious guise, Nor shall my love of fame be hence renew'd— For sickness yields not to the great or wise.
Alike regardless of my friends and foes, I wait impatient for that awful hour, Which brings existence to a final close, And lifts the soul above affliction's power.
Then, when exempt from each ter- restrial tie, My trembling spirit wings the field of space, Approving faints may quit their na- tive sky, And, smiling, bear me to the Throne of Grace.
DIVERSITY.
A CURIOSITY.
The fire proof Spaniard, of whom so much has been lately said at Paris, has been an object of public curiosity at Madrid. The Madrid Gazette for the 29th July, contains several circum- stances relative to this man, which prove that he has not escaped from a Convent, as some have conjectured. His name is Faustino Chacon, and he was born in Toledo in 1730. "This man" says the Madrid Gazette, "was at Eltrama- dura in extreme poverty, at the age of 12 years, and recollecting that his mother had often told him, that he had fallen into the fire without the least injury, he thought of this experiment to get a livelihood. In fact he exposed himself
to the action of fire without the least in- convenience, and making further exper- iments, he ventured at last into a ba- ker's oven. From Eltramadura, he went to Zerez, and from thence to Cadiz. He was there at the last bombardment of the English. He saved from the mid- st of the fire, many persons who were in a house in flames. At Cadiz, Mr. Robin- son heard of him; and though the young man never used his secret but from ne- cessity, he was prevailed upon to follow Mr. Robinson to Madrid and to Paris. He was at Madrid in June last. The Spaniard has submitted to the same proofs at Paris as at Madrid, and has had the same success. The only effect which fire can have upon him, is, as he declares, that it gives him a kind of cramp, the degree of which lessens upon the frequent use of this extraor- dinary faculty, as disuse increases it. He is a man without education, and does not know how to read. (Paris Paper.)
