LETTER IX.
MY DEAR SIR, I have often heard it remarked that our prejudices overpower our understandings...
So far do these prejudices carry you, that I am informed, many ambitious men endeavour to build their popularity upon the ruin of some of those venerable institutions which have received the sanction of ages...
No doubt there are many rotten parts in the British government; but there is nothing good, nothing valuable, nothing worth preserving in a fabric, which has been defended with so much zeal and spirit by the people of England for ages...
These remarks have forced themselves upon me in consequence of my view of the judicial establishments of Kentucky; which I am sure are not in any respect to be placed in competition with ours.
It is true (and I have before mentioned it to you in conversation) that I had long adopted the opinion, that the course of proceeding in the courts of Great Britain and Ireland was oppressive and susceptible of great and important improvements.
The proceedings of our courts appear to be very unpopular in this country; but I believe it may be ascribed rather to your ignorance of them, than to any want of powers to eliminate them properly.
The laws which govern the proceedings of your courts are closely allied to ours. But in the application of those laws, our courts are far superior. "What!" you are ready to exclaim, "are not our courts as equitably disposed as yours? how can you answer me in the negative, when the most celebrated patriots of England and Ireland have felt, and complained of their injustice?"
such lands, and under whatsoever authority, transacted, or pretended, be, and the same are hereby declared to be, and to have been from the beginning, null, void, and of no effect in law or equity...
Sec. 15. The President of the United States is hereby authorised to stipulate with any Indian tribes, owning lands on the east side of the Mississippi, and residing thereon, for an exchange of lands, the property of the United States, on the west side of the Mississippi...
France to the United States, by the treaty concluded at Paris, on the thirtieth day of April last, and for the temporary government thereof, shall continue in force until the first day of October next, anything therein to the contrary notwithstanding...

Lincoln county, set. TAKEN up by Alexander Thomson, a BAY MARE, supposed to be 9 years old, about 15 hands high, with a star in her forehead, braided mane...
of the said territory shall devolve on the secretary.
Sec. 4. The legislative powers shall be vested in the governor, and in thirteen of the most fit and discreet persons of the territory, to be called the legislative council, who shall be appointed annually...
An act to extend the privilege of obtaining patents for useful discoveries and inventions to certain persons therein mentioned, and to enlarge and define the penalties for violating the rights of patentees.
An act for the encouragement of learning, by securing the copies of maps, charts, and books, to the authors and proprietors of such copies, during the time therein mentioned.
An act supplementary to an act, entitled, an act for the encouragement of learning, by securing the copies of maps, charts, and books, to the authors and proprietors of such copies, during the time therein mentioned, and extending the benefits thereof to the arts of designing, engraving, and etching historical and other prints.
An act providing for salvage in cases of recapture.
An act respecting alien enemies. An act to prescribe the mode in which the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings in each state shall be authenticated, so as to take effect in every other state.
An act for establishing trading houses with the Indian tribes. An act for continuing in force a law, entitled an act for establishing trading houses with the Indian tribes.
An act making provision relative to the seat of government, and to their visits to the seat of government, shall extend to, and have full force and effect in the above mentioned territories.
Sec. 8. There shall be established in the said territory a district court, to consist of one judge who shall reside therein and be called the district judge, and who shall hold in the city of Orleans, four sessions annually; the first to commence on the third Monday in October next, and the three other sessions, progressively, on the third Monday of every third calendar month thereafter.
There shall be appointed in the said district, a person learned in the law, to act as attorney for the United States, who shall, in addition to his stated fees, be paid six hundred dollars, annually, as a full compensation for all extra services.
Sec. 9. All free male white persons, who are house keepers, and who shall have resided one year at least, in the said territory, shall be qualified to serve as grand or petit-jurors, in the courts of the said territory; and they shall until the legislature thereof shall otherwise direct, be selected in such manner as the judges of the said courts respectively shall prescribe, so as to be most conducive to an impartial trial, and to be least burthensome to the inhabitants of the said territory.
Sec. 10. It shall not be lawful for any person or persons to import or bring into the said territory, from any port or place without the limits of the United States, or cause or procure to be imported or brought, or knowingly to aid or assist in so importing or bringing any slave or slaves.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That the following acts, that is to say, An act for the punishment of certain crimes against the United States.
An act in addition to an act, for the punishment of certain crimes against the United States.
An act to prevent citizens of the United States from privateering against nations in amity with, or against citizens of the United States.
An act for the punishment of certain crimes therein specified.
An act respecting fugitives from justice, and persons escaping from service of their masters. An act to prohibit the carrying on the slave trade from the United States to any foreign place or country. An act to prevent the importation of States, or which may hereafter be so

fail of your Kentucky establishments? Do you not often hear (for I have myself often heard) complaints of the decisions and want of ability in your courts? I have been more than an hundred times told, that your bar in every county of the state was superior to the bench. Your judges appear to feel it, for they hazard no proceeding without advice or counsel from the bar. They appear like children in leading strings, incapable of motion without some director to instruct them, or without some crutch on which to lean for support. Can these men be proper to fill the dignified office of expounders of the laws, administrators of the penal and civil functions of the country? and as the cool, deliberating and impartial umpires of the claims of contending parties? No such thing is imagined even by you; for your suitors are seldom contented with the first opinion of the court, but continue the suit for years until patience is exhausted, and some comprehensive decision is given by the superior court, to make an end to a cause which has become troublesome, and even distressing.
The consequence of this state of things, is the delay of business, and enormous expense to the parties; an increase of litigation, and a total want of confidence in the proceedings of courts: disadvantages as great as those we labour under, and not balanced by the good which we derive from the superior ability of our judges.
These opinions (I communicate to you freely, but not without some hesitation, in consequence of my ignorance of many things, the knowledge of which is essential to a complete view of the subject) are further confirmed by the situation of the dockets of courts, and the number of superior courts in the state. I have heard it said, that there are many inferior courts in the state which do not finish their business, but continue numbers of causes from term to term; and that your supreme court after sitting three months in the year, does not always decide the causes which come before it. What can be the reason? Twelve judges in England decide all the causes of that wealthy, commercial and polished people, and not more delay in their proceedings is experienced by suitors. And a greater number cannot determine yours! a proof that mind and knowledge are wanting in your courts; since little minds cannot do much, and great minds only are competent to the transaction of extensive business.
From this fact too, my friend, I would augur something prejudicial to your general character as a people. You must be fond of litigation! of course vicious, and not unfrequently disposed to out-wit each other.

SIR, Having observed in Charles's Almanack, the road, with the stages and distance from Lexington K. to Winchester V., it was natural to suppose, it was intended to give information to those characters who have to go from this state to that place—and therefore do not doubt but information, which will lead to the world a much nearer (and I now declare a much better) road, will be received with satisfaction. And as I have twice in the course of the last year, travelled the Greenbrier road, and each time kept a journal of the route, and finding it not only a better way, but at least one hundred miles nearer, I enclose it you, in hopes you will give it a place in your paper. The road (though the legislature of Kentucky have had its improvement in contemplation for two years) from this to the Virginia line, is the only part which a waggon cannot travel with ease; and after crossing Big Sandy, there are only about fifty miles (which the state of Virginia is now cutting) but what is equal to any road in Kentucky for travelling. I am your most obedient servt. GEO. WEBB.

NEW MINISTRY. The following arrangement for a New Administration, (from the London Sun, Feb. 17) is confidently handed about: Mr. Pitt first lord of the treasury, and chancellor of the exchequer. Lord Melville, first lord of the admiralty. Mr. Fox, secretary of state for the foreign department. Lord Moira, secretary of state for the war department. Mr. Grey, secretary of state for the home department. Sir Wm. Grant, lord chancellor. Earl Rollin, president of the council. Earl Spencer, lord privy seal. Earl of Chatham, master-general of the ordnance. Marquis Cornwallis, commander in chief. General Fitzpatrick, secretary at war. Mr. ——— treasurer of the navy. Mr. Canning, president of the board of controul. Hon. S. Perceval, master of the rolls. Hon. T. Erskine, attorney-general. Mr. Adam, solicitor-general.
Messrs. Steel, and Wm. Dundas, joint paymaster-general. By Yesterday's Mail we have received London dates to the 20th February seven days later than heretofore. On the 20th the king's health was so much improved, as to leave but little doubt of his compleat recovery. A London paper of the 27th says, another embargo is laid on the ports of France.—It is inferred from this, that the invasion is immediately to take place. 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 information from Sir Sidney Smith, stating that he has fallen in with a fleet of Dutch and French, gun-boats, of which he has taken fifteen and destroyed thirty. Though this report has every mark of credibility, we do not undertake to vouch for the truth of it.
LONDON, Feb. 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 Dutch schuyt arrived at Harwich, on Monday, with four passengers from Ketwick. They state that the Northern Powers are collecting a great force to oppose the further progress of the tyranny of France, whose ambition, they begin to suppose, has no limits.
NEW-YORK, March 24. We have just received from Saint Domingo a complete copy of the discourse of general Dessalines, which preceded the declaration of the independence of that island. We shall take the earliest opportunity of giving it entire.
LIBERTY OR DEATH. Army Indigenous. This day, the first of January, 1804, the general in chief of the army convoked for the purpose of taking the necessary measures for establishing the happiness of the country, having made known to the generals assembled his true sentiments, to secure for ever to the indigenous of Hayti a permanent government, the object of his most lively solicitude, and in which he has done in a discourse tending to convey to foreign powers his resolution to render the country independent, and to secure to it the enjoyment of a liberty consecrated by the blood of the people of this island; and after having collected the opinion of each, demanded that every one of the generals present, should take the oath to renounce France forever, to die rather than live under its domination, and to combat with the last breath for independence. The generals animated with these sacred principles, and having given their unanimous concurrence to the well devised project of independence, have all sworn to posterity, and to the whole universe, to renounce forever the authority of France, and to die rather than live under its domination. Done at Gonaives the first day of the independence of Hayti, 1st Jan. 1804. [Here follow the signatures of Dessalines, Clerveaux, Christophe, Petion, Giffard, Veret (Divisionary generals), P. Romain, J. Capoix, &c. &c. &c.] In the name of the People of Hayti. We, generals and chiefs of the armies of the Isle of Hayti, penetrated with the knowledge of the services which we have experienced from the general in chief John James Dessalines, the protector of the liberty which is enjoyed by the people, in the name of that liberty, in the name of the independence & in the name of the people whom he has rendered happy; we proclaim him governor general of Hayti for life, and we promise to pay implicit obedience to the laws issued under his authority, the only one which we shall ever acknowledge: We give him the right to make war, to make peace, and to nominate his successor. Done at head quarters at Gonaives, the 1st Jan. 1804, first day of the independence of Hayti. Signed, &c. (as above.)
PHILADELPHIA, March 27. Extract of a letter from a gentleman now in England to his friend in Philadelphia, dated London, February 18, 1804. “Since my last the king's indisposition has been made known. He complained at Windsor a fortnight ago, and his disorder was said to be the gout in his foot. We heard of his taking exercise in the riding house, of his receiving visitors, and of many things equally untrue. It is now said that his complaint is the Hydro Thorax, but even this is dubious. Bulletins are published at St. James's every day. Crowds of people attend to know the state of their sovereign's health. The public mind seems greatly agitated at this crisis, and all classes, and all
parties dread the progress of the complaint. The Prince of Wales, who was ill at Bridgeton, arrived at Carlton House before his recovery. It is obvious that his presence at the metropolis may be necessary, in the event of any change. The cabinet councils are unusually frequent—it is reported that a change in the administration is about to take place, and Pitt to be chancellor of the exchequer. If credit may be given to a newspaper, Fox is to unite with Pitt—There can be no doubt of some alteration—next week the grand debate about volunteers is to come on—Pitt has left his regiment at Dover, that he may participate in the discussion—As this is a question of great magnitude, it is likely that the minister may lose his influence, which cannot be upheld against the partisans of Pitt and Fox united.
Capt. Goddin, of the brig Eagle, left Bordeaux on the 21st February, a few days previous to which time Angereau passed through the city from the Borders of Spain, with an army of 40,000 men, and embarked in the flat-bottomed boats for Rochefort. Intelligence had been received of his safe arrival at the Isle of Rhe. These troops were to join the expedition against England, which was said to be on the eve of taking place. The vessels in the port of Bordeaux were embargoed during the embarkation of general Angereau. ** Several articles are omitted to give room for the law for the government of Louisiana, in which the Western people appear considerably interested.

TRANSLATION
FROM A LATIN EPIGRAM OF WYN. BUTLER.
BY A CAROLINIAN.
WHEN pleasure gladden'd Myra's face, And her fond heart was free from pain The favorite song with sweetest grace, And joyful notes attun'd his strain.
But ah! tears hung in Myra's eye, And sadly throbb'd her gentle breast; His carols ceas'd, grief made him die, And hush'd his pretty song in rest.

IN every grave and metaphysical essay, which I have ever perused, on wit and ludicrous composition, all the tribe of reasoners, from John Locke, to Dr. Beattie and Dr. Campbell, seem in the main to agree, that wit lies in putting ideas together, wherein can be found any resemblance or congruity. A more modern metaphysician, acutely adds, by way of comment, that the resemblance must be pointed out between things, usually esteemed the most discordant, and which contemplated separately, would lead the mind into the most opposite trains of thinking-for the quick transition of thought is what causes your merriment. Whatever may be thought of the solidity, or the ingenuity of the above theories, the following article from a foreign miscellany, must provoke a smile in despite of its violation of all rules, and even of common sense.-P.

The Celebrated English Stallion
SPREAD EAGLE,
WILL stand the ensuing season, which will commence the twentieth of March and end the first of August, in Lexington, at his former stand, and will be let to mares at Thirty Dollars the season, to be discharged at any time before the first day of August, by the payment of Twenty Dollars; and Forty Dollars to insure a mare with foal, to be returned if such should not be the case, if the mare remains the property of the person who put her to the horse, with one dollar to the groom for each mare, so soon as she is put to the horse—Attested notes for Thirty Dollars the season, and Forty for the insurance, to be sent with the mares, payable on or before the 20th of December, 1804.
Spread Eagle and Sterling are brothers from sire and out of sisters; he is of superior size—bone, blood and beauty inferior to none; he is a beautiful bay, nearly sixteen hands high; well proved as a racehorse; running four mile heats with twelve stone on his back, as appears from the racing calendar in New Market, London, from the years 1795, to 1798; after which he is there noted, sent to America to col. John Hoomes, in Virginia, at the Bowling Green; where he (the last season that he made there) covered two hundred and thirty four mares, in preference to any imported horse in that state. I will furnish good pasture gratis, for mares that come a distance, and every attention will be paid them, but will not be responsible in cases of accidents or escapes. I will furnish grain, and feed the mares at three shillings per week, if required by the proprietor, and at his expence.

In the following meeting he won the second class of the Prince's stakes of 100 guineas each, beating lord Egremont's brother to Calomel, and three others. At Epsom Spring Meeting, same year, he won the Derby Stakes of 50 guineas each, hundred feet (45 subscribers) beating with the greatest ease, Caustic, Peter, Diomond, Viret &c. after which he was taken very ill with the distemper, and never recovered his form of racing, which, until then, was allowed to be most capital.
In 1796, he won a sweepstakes of 100 guineas each, at York, (8 subscribers) and was second for the great subscription there, beating Sober Robin.
In 1798, at New Market, he came second for the Craven Stakes, when twelve started, beating Druid, Gas, Bennington, &c. and won the King's plate of a hundred guineas, carrying 12st. the Round Course, beating Bennington, & lord G. H. Cavendish's Bay Horse by Jupiter.

N. B. Mares that were put to Spread Eagle last season, that did not prove with foal, and were not disposed of by the person who put them, are at liberty to fetch them
this season, and put again gratis, and will be allowed the same privilege so long as I keep the horse; and if I should dispose of him, have the privilege of putting to any other horse that I should have or get to keep.

Tup
HAS been lately sold by W. Smalley, to James Garrard Jr. John L. Hickman, Willis Field and Elisha Warfield, consequently his stand will be altered; but all engagements and contracts for seasons made by those who thought proper to send mares to him, when he was expected to stand on David's fork, will be considered valid, if the persons with it.
W. SMALLEY.
The full blooded English Race Horse, TUP,
WILL stand this season, at the farm of James Garrard, jun. three miles from Paris, on Stoner, in Bourbon county; where he will cover mares at Twenty-two Dollars the season, to be paid the 1st day of September next, or Eighteen Dollars with the mare—Twelve Dollars the single leap, to be paid at the time of covering—Ten pounds to insure a mare with foal, and in case the owner sells or disposes of the mare, the owners of the horse, are discharged from all responsibility as insurers.—The season will commence the 27th day of March, and end the 1st day of August. Good pasture, well enclosed, will be furnished gratis, to all mares sent above the distance of twelve miles—board will be furnished servants that may be sent with mares from a distance, and every kind of grain upon the most reasonable terms; all mares sent, shall be strictly attended to, but we are not liable for accidents or escapes.
TUP is a beautiful dark bay, full fifteen hands three inches high, remarkable for his strength, form and activity—he was brought from London, by Will. Smalley, in the fall of 1801, in the American ship Gen. Lincoln. He has covered two seasons in Virginia. Certificates from men of the first rank and respectability there, now in our possession, prove him to be superior, as a foal-getter, to any horse in Virginia, either imported or country bred.—Numbers of mares put to the TUP, in Virginia, were put before, to the best horses in that state, and the foals by TUP, were superior in form and activity. Some few of the certificates are hereunto subjoined.
PEDIGREE.
The bay horse, called TUP, foaled in 1796, was gotten by Javelin out of Flavia. Javelin was got by Eclipse; his dam by Spectator; his grand dam by Blank; great grand dam by Second; great, great grand dam by Stanyan's Arabian; great, great, great grand dam by King William's black Barb, out of Christopher Darey's royal mare. Flavia was gotten by the Ferrer's Arabian called Plunder; her dam, miss Euston, by Snap; grand dam by Blank; great grand dam by Gartoouch, out of the Sore Heels mare; great, great grand dam of Highflyer—TUP, in 1798, won a sweepstakes of an hundred guineas each, at New-Market, (five subscribers) beating Mr. Heathcote's Vivalda, &c.

It is unnecessary to comment on the performances of old Eclipse. It is well known that at an early age he could distance any horse in England; and that it was found necessary, to publicly forbid his running any more, as no horse dare meet him. He afterwards covered at fifty guineas a mare. Javelin was one of his best sons.—He covered at ten guineas a mare, and one to the groom. He is sire to some of the best horses on the British turf.
TUP, in his young days, was allowed by the best judges in England to be preferable to an Arabian, having all their sprightliness and elegance of limbs with the great strength of old Eclipse. Flavia at three years old won a sweepstakes of a hundred guineas each, four subscribers at New-Market, fee racing calendar for 1777, succeeding calendars prove her of high repute as a racer: she was many years kept as a fine brood mare and was always put to the best horses.
Fall season gratis, to all mares that do not prove with foal, that are put by the season, provided the seasons are paid punctually agreeable to the terms of the advertisement.
JAMES GARRARD, Jr.
I do certify, that in the season of 1802 I put two mares to W. Smalley's Tup, which has produced two of the finest fillies, I think, I ever bred, and I have been in the habit of breeding fine colts for several years from fine horses, to wit: Pantaon, Old Medley, Shark, Highflyer, &c.
Will. Frazer.
Virginia, Spotsylvania, Sept. 6, 1803.
I do certify, that I had two colts, got by the imported horse Tup, one of which died about three months old, the other is superior to any colt the mare ever bro't by other horses to the number of four, both in point of size and figure, and I have every reason to believe him a sure foal getter.
John Wharton.
Virginia, Culpepper County, September 15, 1803.
I do certify, that the imported horse Tup has stood in my neighborhood for two seasons past, and his colts that I have seen are uncommonly fine, particularly one of my own; I think him one of the best foal getters that ever stood in these parts, and I really regret he is about to be moved out of my reach.
Callett Conway.
Orange County, Virginia, August 22, 1803.
I do hereby certify that the imported horse Tup has stood in my neighborhood for two seasons past; the colts of his getting are uncommonly fine; I have one high formed and really elegant; I think him the finest foal getter that ever stood in these parts, and do really regret he is about to be removed out of my reach.
John Gibson.
Virginia, Orange County, September 19, 1803.
I do certify, that the imported horse Tup has stood two seasons in my neighborhood; I have some of his colts, and think them elegant, high formed and large, and I believe him to be a sure foal getter.
Wm. Morton.
Virginia, Orange County, 22d September, 1803.
I do certify, that the imported horse Tup has stood for two seasons past in my neighborhood; I have seen many of his colts, and do think them superior to any colts that ever were in Orange; my father has a colt got by Tup, equal to any colt in America.
Joseph Alcock.
I do certify, that the imported horse Tup has stood two seasons past in my neighborhood; I have seen many of his colts, which were remarkably elegant, high formed and large, and I believe Tup to be a sure foal getter.
U. Mallory.
Orange County, 22d Sept.
Tup has stood two seasons in my neighborhood; I have seen several of his colts, and think them remarkably fine—I have one myself which I think superior
to any I ever had—I have not reason to believe but he is a sure foal getter, and cannot but regret that he is about to leave the neighborhood.
James Williams.
Orange, September 23, 1803.
I am well acquainted with James Williams, William Morton and Joseph Alcock, who have given certificates relating to the imported horse Tup—They are all men of the first respectability in Virginia—The other gentlemen I am not acquainted with.
George Johnson.
Paris, March 24, 1804.
Many other certificates to the same effect are now in my possession, which any person may see upon application.
TUP will be shewn in Lexington at May court.
JAMES GARRARD, Jr.
Albert,
BRED by Col. John Hoskins, in King and Queen county, Virginia, will continue to stand the ensuing season, at my stable, in Scott county, which will commence the twentieth of March and end the first of August, at the prices published last season viz. Eighteen dollars on a promissory attested note sent with the mare, payable the twenty-fifth day of December ensuing, which may be discharged by the payment of Fifteen Dollars, paid by the first day of August ensuing. Nine Dollars the single leap, to be paid when the mare is covered, and if she should take the second time, Nine Dollars will be required as above, then the mare will be entitled to the season. Thirty Dollars to insure a mare in foal, provided the owner keeps her until it is expressly known that she is not in foal; but if they should part with the mare before the time expressed, the owner must be entitled to pay the insurance money. In all cases, half a Dollar to the groom, paid when the mare receives the horse. Large pasture of Blue Grass, Timothy and Clover, well enclosed, gratis, for any mares coming more than twelve miles. Mares may be furnished with grain plentifully, at 3 shillings per week, for all those who may so direct, all care imaginable will be taken to accommodate my customers; but will not be answerable for casualties, escapes, &c. that may happen. Boys coming with mares shall have their board gratis.
ROBERT SANDERS.
March the 7th, 1803.
The thorough bred horse ALBERT was got by Americus, his dam by Wild Air, his grand dam by Dampier, out of Col. Braxton's imported mare Kitty Filles. Americus was got by the imported horse Shark, Shark was got by Mark, his dam by Shaston's Snap, his grand dam by Marlborough, out of a natural Barb mare. Wild Air was got by Fearnought, Fearnought by Regulus, Regulus by the Godolphin Arabian. Vampier was got by Regulus, who was got by the Godolphin Arabian. Kitty Filles was got by Cade, which was got by the Godolphin Arabian. Albert's dam was the dam of Kitty Medley, Minerva, Melzar, Americus, Rozetta, and they have proved themselves to be the best stock in America. Albert will be six years old in April, upwards of five feet two inches high, a bay roan.
JOHN HOSKINS, King & Queen county, Virg.
February the 5th, 1803.
Teste, William Shortridge, Francis Kerr, John Edwards.
WHEREAS some reports have been prevailing, which originated from designing men, that Albert had scarcely a mare that proved in foal from the last season, I think it necessary to inform gentlemen, that the report is erroneous. Although false as it is, it might prove an injury to Albert's reputation, also my interest; but hope gentlemen of understanding will judge for themselves. I put nineteen mares to Albert, several at two years old, and have not the least doubt of sixteen of them being in foal, neither have I heard of more than five or six that failed being in foal.
ROBERT SANDERS.
March the 7th, 1804.
I hereby certify that I lived with Col. Robert Sanders last year, and was present when almost every mare was put to Albert, which was upwards of ninety, and have never heard of more than five or six that have failed being with foal; further I believe him to be a sure foal getter.

PAYMASTER Was imported from England by Mr. Rylander of New-York, is a beautiful blood bay, well marked, 16 hands high, rising 9 years old, and for figure, bone, strength, action, carriage, and movement, he is equal to any horse on the continent; and his character as a good and sure foal getter, stands high.

BARONET, Is a thorough bred horse, full 15 hands, three inches high, of a dark bay colour, five years old this spring, was got by the old imported Baronet, who was equal, if not superior, to any horse ever imported—old Baronet was bred by Mr. John Webb, Bart. and got by Vertumnus, son of Eclipse, his dam called Penultima, by Snapp, grana dam by Cade, great grand dam by Crab, great grand dam by Flying-Childers, out of a Confederate Filley—she was got by Grey Grantham, her dam by the Duke of Rutland's Black Barb, out of Bright's Roan—Young Baronet's dam was got by the imported Othello, grand dam by the imported Figure, great grand dam by the imported Wild-Dair, her grand dam together with Wild-Dair was imported by Col.

ELISHA J. WINTER. Lexington, March 1, 1804.
The imported Stallion
Speculator, WILL stand the ensuing season, which will commence the 1st day of March, and end the first day of August next, at the farm of John Breckinridge, esq. near Lexington, in Kentucky, and may cover mares at ten dollars the leap, to be paid at the stable door; twenty-four dollars the season, to be discharged any time before the first day of August, by the payment of twenty dollars; and forty dollars to insure a mare to be with foal, to be returned if such should not be the case, if the mare remains the property of the person who put her to the horse; with one dollar to the groom, in every instance. Attested notes for the season, and insurance to be sent with the mares.
SPECULATOR Is now rising nine years old, is a very handsome horse, near sixteen hands high, a fine bay with as many good running points as any horse on the continent, and is well calculated to get either excellent race, saddle or carriage horses; and has established himself to be a most capital stallion, as may be seen by his colts, which are now rising one year old—his blood is unexceptionable, and of the purest kind, as may be seen by his PEDIGREE.
PEDIGREE. SPECULATOR was bred by the Duke of Bedford, and got by his favorite Ralston Dragon, (now in Virginia, and covered 145 mares last season, at ten guineas per mare) who was son to Woodpecker, his dam by King Herod, a sister to Florizel, Bourdeaux, and Sting, and the dam of Portia, Narcissa, Jelica, and Tarantula; his grand dam by Cygnet, who was got by the Godolphin Arabian; his great grand dam by Cartouch, a very capital stallion; his great great grand dam Ebony, by Childers, out of Old Ebony, by Basso, who was got by the Byerly Turk, out of Bay Peg, by the Leeds Arabian.
PERFORMANCES. SPECULATOR has been a capital running horse—In 1798 he won once, being the only time on the turf that year—in 1799, being then four years old, at the New-Market Craven meetings, he beat Mr. Watson's Young Magpie, for 100 guineas—at New-Market second spring meeting, he beat Lord Sackville's famous horse Sober Robin, for 50 guineas—at the same meeting he won a handicap plate, of 50 guineas each, beating six good horses, among which was the celebrated horse Aimator; the same day he received 41 1-2 guineas forfeit from Mr. Heatcote's Opposition—at the July New-Market meeting he beat Mr. Cullen's Young Spear, for 100 guineas, 7 to 4 on Speculator; at Brighton he won a handicap plate (the new course) 50 guineas each, beating Combatant, Ascot, Mr. Wyndham's horse by Fidget, Cypress, Sifter, Midnight, Play or Pay, and Opposition; at New-Market first October meeting, he walked over for a sweep stake of 50 guineas each, Bollenamuck and Combatant fearing to run against him,
paid him forfeit; at the second October meeting he beat Mr. Wyndham's horse by Fidget, for 50 guineas, 5 and 6 to 4 on Speculator; making eight times he won this year, which is oftener than any other horse won in said year, and came in second, for a handicap plate of 50 guineas each, beating eight good horses, although he carried 7lb more than any horse that started; in 1800 then 5 years old, at New-Market Craven meetings, he beat Mr. Hayworth's Filbert for 100 guineas carrying him 7lbs. at the same meeting he won the great Oatland stakes of 50 guineas each (26 subscribers) beating Expedition, Wrangler, Herby-Lass, Stamford, Telegraph, Antrim, and Vandall; all good horses—at the first New-Market spring meeting, he won a sweep stake of 50 guineas each (4 subscribers) carrying 12 stone 2lbs. (say 170lbs.) beating Lord Burford's Waymoth, with great ease, 7 to 4 on Speculator; at the second spring meeting, he received forfeit of 130 guineas from the Duke of Queensbury's chestnut horse Eggham, carrying him 4 lbs. It must be observed, that the great Oatland stakes is considered among the first races in England; at the end of 1800 he was taken with the distemper which put an end to his racing; and was then purchased of the Prince of Wales for me; and imported from London last fall. The above pedigree and performances of Speculator, are taken from the general stud-book and racing callers of England; the authority of which has never yet been called in question, and they are always referred as authentic records upon those subjects.
JOHN HOOMES. Bowling Green, Virginia.
The above horse was at our request, sent by John Hoomes esq. to this state; & will stand the ensuing season at the plantation of John Breckinridge, on North-Elkhorn, where very extensive and excellent blue grass pasture, well enclosed and well watered, will be furnished to mares coming at a distance, gratis.—The greatest care will be taken of the mares, and corn furnished if required, at the market price; but we will not be liable for escapes or accidents.
Mr. Hoomes has been in the practice for many years, of importing from England, the finest horses which that country produces; and from his character, and our acquaintance with him, the most implicit reliance can be placed in any certificate he gives.
Any person putting seven mares, and becoming responsible, gets one gratis; if the horse stands in the state, and continues the present owner's, those mares that do not prove in foal, has the next year gratis, except the groom's fee.

Speculator and Speculator's Colts.
We whose names are hereunto subscribed have colts got by Mr. Jno. Hoomes' horse Speculator, for which we will not take less than the sums annexed to our names respectively, in money, the colts are rising one year old this spring, 1804.

From the best information I have received, the above prices are not equal to the averaged value of Speculator's colts foaled in 1803—The above list has been indiscriminately taken, and are all that have been personally applied to and listed, I shall continue to procure all I can and add them weekly. I wish to employ a careful white man that can keep the books & assist the groom in taking care of, and feeding the mares. The above list is a true copy.
