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 ensure 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, faddle 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.
SPECULATOR was bred by the Duke of Bedford, and got by his favorite stallion 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 fitter to Florizel, Bourdeaux, and Stings, and the dam of Portia, Narcissa, Jessica, 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 Balo, 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 (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 Amator; the same day he received 41 1-2 guineas forfeit from Mr. Heathcote's Opposition—at the July New-Market meeting he beat Mr. Cullins'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, Alcot, Mr. Wyndham's horse by Fidget, Cypress, Sifter, Midnight, Piay 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 a 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 year 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, Telegraphe, 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 Waymouth, 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 Egremont, 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 calenders 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 on 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 of 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, have the next year gratis, except the groom's fee.

MEDITERRANEAN PASSPORTS.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, THAT it has been deemed expedient to change the form of the Mediterranean Passports issued to vessels of the United States; that from the eighth day of July next, those of the new form will be issued at the custom houses, to every vessel, for which application may be made on a compliance with the terms prescribed by law, and surrendering the former passport of which she may be possessed, if any, in which latter case no fees will be required for the exchange: and that by an arrangement agreed upon by the Barbary powers, with whom we are at peace, either the old or the new form of passport will be sufficient to protect the vessels of the United States from capture until the 1st of July, 1805, after which the old form of passport will be unavailable, and the new one alone in use.

WASHINGTON CITY, April 30.
To facilitate to claimants under the 7th article of the treaty with Great Britain the receipt of their monies in instances in which they have not constituted the public agent in London, their special attorney, it has been thought proper to draw to the United States all such monies of the above description as may not be drawn from him by the individuals themselves prior to the first of September next. The agent is accordingly instructed to cease paying them after that date, but after the first of November next, they will be again payable at the city of Washington, to those who have right, or to their attorneys duly authorized.

PHILADELPHIA, May 23.
The Constitution was preparing for a cruise of six months off Tripoli; and the commodore intended to bombard the place unless a favorable peace should be agreed to.
All the letters from on board the United States vessels in the Mediterranean, speak in high terms of the superior skill and indefatigable vigilance of Comodore Preble. The letters which mentioned the pacific proposals of the bashaw, were dated at Syracuse, January seventeen and twenty-two; and as preparations were then making for the bombardment of Tripoli, it is evident there had been a "rupture of the negotiation."
IMPROVEMENTS, &c.
PATENT HEMP & FLAX BREAK. Mr. Owen Roberts of Baltimore has lately obtained a patent for the invention of a "Hemp and Flax Break," which promises to be of as great utility to the United States, as any machine hitherto invented, on a model so simple. It may be erected at a comparatively trifling expence, and when in complete operation, will clear six or eight thousand weight of hemp daily, with the assistance of only six hands. No manual labor is necessary, except turning and flitting the hemp; the rollers and break being wrought by a horse, or water, and so constructed as to work any number by throwing them out of gear, as occasion may require.
It is hoped that a conviction of the utility of this invention will ensure it the patronage of every friend to the infant arts and manufactures of his country.---Balt. Tel.
STEAM SAW MILL.
A Subscriber near St. Mary's, requests us to state, that having heard a good deal of Longfretts & Griffin's Steam Saw Mill, since in this country, he was induced to examine it, and accordingly went to the town of St. Mary's for that purpose—it was at work when he arrived, with much seeming regularity, performing about fifty three or four vibrations per minute, with each saw; and passing through large pine-logs, perhaps twenty inches diameter, at the rate of three quarters of an inch each vibration—and this without loss of time. He was struck with the apparent simplicity of machinery generally, but particularly the En-
gine itself, as wood seemed to constitute almost the whole of it. Indeed there did not appear to be five hundred pounds of iron about the whole Mill and Engine, (though there might be more.) The boiler is entirely wood except the bottom which is copper, and so adapted, as to afford an abundance of steam for the purposes required: and every other part equally plain and comprehensible. The slabs from the logs form four-fifths of the fuel necessary for the Mill. He also states that these ingenious men have been engaged to build two other Engines, each of which they undertook to insure capable of sawing six thousand feet per day.---At. print.
CONSUMPTIONS.
From a London paper of January last, we copy the following article, which if it be a fact, (and we have no reason to doubt it) is no less extraordinary than interesting.
Extraordinary Cure for Consumption.
A young lady in the last stage of consumption was lately restored to health by the following extraordinary and accidental remedy:—She had been long attended by the faculty but derived no benefit from their assistance, and considered herself verging to the end of existence, when she retired during last summer to the vale of Taunton Dean, in Somersetshire, with intention to wait, in solitude, the hour of approaching dissolution. Whilst in that situation, it was her custom to rise as early as her malady would permit, and contemplate the beauties of nature from her chamber window, from which she observed a dog belonging to the house, with scarcely any flesh on his bones, owing to the disease, constantly go and lick the dew off a camomile-bed in the garden; in doing which he was noticed to alter his appearance, to recover strength, and finally to look plump and well.—The singularity of this circumstance impressed strongly on the lady's mind and induced her to try what effect might be produced from following the example of the quadruped. She accordingly procured the dew from the same bed of camomile, drank a small quantity each morning, and after continuing so for some time, experienced a wonderful relief; her appetite became regular, she found a return of spirits, and in the end was completely cured.

THE SUBSCRIBER
HAS lately been induced, from the rapid increase of his custom, to purchase a lot of ground, adjoining that on which he lives, for the purpose of building a dining room and assembly room, each 54 by 32 feet 10 inches, with six additional lodging rooms, and intends to finish them before the ensuing winter; which, together with his Tavern and house, will occupy a front of near one hundred feet in the most agreeable part of the town, and in the centre of business, being on the highest part of the public square. He has considerably increased the furniture, &c. of his house and stables—His domestics and servants are of the most faithful dispositions and properly qualified for the departments to which they are arranged—He has a constant supply of the best stable forage, imported and country provisions, imported liquors, &c. of the best quality, foreign newspapers, &c. &c. and his ice will, most probably, last through the hot weather.
The distinguished preference which the first characters have already given him in his business, fills him with gratitude. He offers his sincere thanks to all his good friends, and begs leave to assure them, that neither his time nor his purse shall be spared in attempting to render the Travellers' Hall, a house of entertainment, for Gentel Guests only, equal to any in America.

LEXINGTON, JUNE 19.
Hail wedded Love."
MARRIED, on Sunday evening last, Mr. JOHN CLIFFORD, of Philadelphia, to the amiable Miss MOLLY MORTON, daughter of William Morton esq. of this place.
A report has been a few days in circu- lation, and obtained some credit, that captains Lewis and Clarke, with their companions, had been fallen upon by the Osage Indians and put to death, only two men escaping. We have the plea- sure to inform our readers that the re- port is without foundation—that on the 19th ult. capt. Lewis was at St. Louis, and expected to depart that or the suc- ceeding day, and was in high spirits. The report probably originated from some traders on the Missouri, and others on the Aus-Are river, having fallen vic- tims to their own imprudence, or the jealousy of the Indians.
On Sunday evening last, between the hours of 5 and 6 o'clock, a tremendous hail storm passed within three miles of the fourth east of this place—Its duration was about half an hour—many of the hail stones weighed upwards of two ou- nces, of a rugged shape, and fell in such large quantities, that it lay on the ground unmelted, till after sun rise Monday morning. Corn, wheat, rye, fruit, and vegetables of every description, are in many places, where it passed, almost to- tally destroyed, and every window expo- sed to the storm entirely demolished.
We received by yesterday's mail, the pleasing intelligence that the legislature of Georgia has adopted the proposed amendment to the constitution of the U- nited States. The states that have ad- opted the proposed amendment are Pennsylvania, Virginia, New-York, Ma- ryland, Vermont, Rhode Island, New- Jersey, North-Carolina, South-Carolina, Ohio, Georgia & Kentucky.—Rejected by Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Del- aware.—The legislature of Tennessee will be called in August, to consider the amendment—it is republican.

Having resigned the office of a Circuit judge in this state, I now beg leave (in this way) to inform my fellow-citizens that I offer my- self as a candidate for the office of GOVERNOR, at the ensuing election. My residence in this country for near twenty-three years, has made me acquainted with a large portion of its inhabitants; to them I refer as to my fitness or capacity to exe- cute the duties required in the exe- cutive department. I must also re- quest the sheriffs of the several coun- ties to have a poll opened for me. CHRISTOP. GREENUP. June 9, 1804.
PHILADELPHIA, June 1.
By the British Packet, arrived at New-York, from London, and the Olympus, from Liverpool, at this port, we have received regular files of London papers to the 8th and Liverpool to the 10th ult. From these we have made some few ex- tracts. The following letter from Paris, which was written the day
after the Duke of Enghien's execu- tion, though previous to that event being generally known, is stated to be from a diplomatic agent in Paris to his friend in England.
Yesterday the Minister of the Elector of Baden received a com- munication from his sovereign. He im- mediately went to Talleyrand's hotel requesting an audience, and presented in the name of the elector against the violation of his territory. He demanded that the French govern- ment should disavow the conduct of Gen. Caulincourt, and send back the prisoners who had been made on the other side of the Rhine. Tal- leyrand answered, that by the treaty of Luneville, the states of Ger- many were bound to give up all persons conspiring or plotting against France; and that by the law of nations every state has a right to enforce such stipulations, where the contracting party is not strong enough to cause them to be ob- served, or its infidelity is suspected; that Caulincourt had only obeyed the orders of the First Consul; that all the prisoners were to be tried immediately, and that the principal of them was at that moment before the tribunal. The minister of Ba- den, in the evening sent back a cou- pler with this answer. The diplo- matic corps, and all the people of Paris, except those immediately con- nected with the government, were ignorant of the arrest of the Duke d'Enghien until a late hour last night, when his sentence was polled up in the Palais Royal, and on the corners of the streets. The patrols, which were doubled, and the numerous po- lice spies, prevented the surprise and indignation of the people from showing themselves in any acts of violence; but the imprudent decla- rations of a few added new victims to those who already croud our pri- sons. The minister of Baden, this morning, went to Count Cobentzel, the Imperial Ambassador, and com- municated to him the particulars of Talleyrand's answer: The latter had not, until then, heard of the af- fair, at least such was his declara- tion. The Imperial Ambassador did not hesitate to wait upon Talleyrand and requested that the execution of the sentence might be deferred until he had informed his sovereign of the affair. He requested this de- lay, more as personal favor, the Em- peror being related to the Duke of Enghien, than in the name of the Emperor, the Chief of the Empire whose territory had been violated: The example of the Imperial Am- bassador was followed by the Am- bassadors of Spain, Naples, and Etruria, whose Sovereigns, all Bourbons, are more nearly related than the Emperor to the Duke of Enghien. They all received the same answer from Talleyrand, viz. that he would report their request to the First Con- sul. In the mean time, these Am- bassadors dispatched couriers to their respective courts, and many persons think that Bonaparte's pride will be gratified, by pardoning a Bourbon, and publishing to the world as an act of generosity, a deed com- manded by policy, justice, and hu- manity."
May 30.
A gentleman passenger in the Diana, arrived this morning, informs that it was reported at Antwerp, that Gen. Piche- gru had been guillotined.
NEW-YORK, May 21.
The ship Jenny, Capt. Ward, ar- rived here last night in 43 days from Bordeaux. The Argus of the 4th April, contains a letter from Gen. Soult (given out in general orders) to the commander in chief at Bru- ges, announcing that "the English had at length begun to execute their infernal project, of casting upon their coast, bales of cotton infected with the plague, which they had sent from the Levant—and that five of these bales had been thrown into the bay of Estaples by English em- barkations under the protection of a flag and two corvettes." Capt. Ward also informs, that im- mediately previous to his sailing, a report prevailed at that place, that Pichegru was found strangled in the Temple. The intelligence was re- ceived at Bourdeaux on the 11th April, in three or four days from Paris, and on the 12th, the day on which Capt. Ward failed, placards were in circulation, that Pichegru had strangled himself. It was gene- rally believed that Bonaparte would ere long, assume, with the consent of the Legislature, the title of "Em- peror of the Gauls." Madame B. had gone to Rome, whence it was expected she would not return, in consequence, it was said, of her hus- band's determination to obtain a divorce, in order to form a connec- tion with a German princess.
We are informed by a gentleman who left Port-au-Prince on the 18th ult. that a few days before he failed, there was a general massacre of the French white inhabitants of that place. Out of five hundred and six- ty-two persons, only two were spar- ed! We are happy to state that the brigands respected the persons and property of the Americans who happened to be there.
June 4. By the ship Vigilant from Naples, the editors of the Gazette have received an extract of a letter from Comodore Preble, dated on board the Constitution at Syra- cuse, March 19, 1804. The following is a copy.
"I have this moment received intel- ligence from a gentleman just arrived from Tunis, that the Bey of that regency is equipping his whole naval force with the utmost expedition; and it is whispered that his object is, the Amer- ican commerce. From various circum- stances, I believe there is much truth in the conjecture.—Three of their fri- gates, from 24 to 32 guns, are now fit- ting out at Malta; four frigates of 32 guns, and a number of smaller vessels, are getting ready at Tunis."
Commodore Preble further observes, that he intends to collect all the forces off Tripoli, and proceed off Tunis to learn the cause.
By the brig Georgia Packet, we have received a letter, dated Cadiz, April 7, which says, "We have an order from his Catholic Majesty not to suffer prizes either English or French to be sold or brought into any ports of his dominions. This looks like enforcing a strict neutral- ity."
LOUISVILLE, (Geo.) May 16. On Monday last the Legislature of Georgia met at this place, agreeably to his Excellency the Governor's Procla- mation of the 4th ult.
The House of representatives have passed the Bill, ratifying the proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States—we believe, unanimous- ly; and have also, unanimously voted an address to his excellency the Governor to remove from office Jabez Bowen, Judge of the Superior Court of the Eastern District of this state, for conduct, in his official capacity, highly criminal, and derogatory to the duties of a judge.— The foregoing are now before the Se- nate.
HAGERSTOWN, June 5. A caution against resorting to trees in thunder storms.
While John Kyger, a young man, and Henry Webber, a lad, were cord- ing wood at Salam creek, in Maning- ton township, New-Iersey, on the evening of Tuesday last, a tremen- dous storm arose, which induced them to take shelter under a tree—in a few minutes a flash of lightning struck the tree, by which the former was instantly killed, and the latter so much hurt that his life is despair- ed.—An aged and afflicted father is left to lament the loss of a duti- ful and industrious son, by whose la- bor he was principally supported.
IMPORTANT DISCOVERY. MONTPELIER MEDICAL WELL.
In Scott county, Kentucky, on the waters of Lacount's run, about ten miles from Georgetown, twenty from Lexington, and fifteen from Frankfort, the property of the sub- scriber.
Fellow Citizens of Kentucky, and the adjacent states, The water of this well possesses the qualities of the Salt and Sul- phur Springs at the Mud Lick; but much more efficacious as the quali- ties are combined in the same water, and may properly be called a Salinic, Sulphuric, Medicinal Well. This communication should have been made previous to this time; but was delayed from an ardent wish that a belief of the efficacy of the above water should be confirmed by the experience of last year. I am now happy in stating that the water is e- qual to any in this state, or any sister state, in curing many of those maladies which infest & weaken the human con- stitution. The efficacy of the water combined with its central & conven- ient situation to the most populous parts of the state, will make it of much greater public utility. Last sea- son, from 50 to 100 people attended this spring, among whom many un- common & extraordinary cures were effected by drinking the water. The roads to this Medicinal Spring from the different populous parts of this country, are very good, and car- riages may pass with convenience. Preparations are making for the accommodation of visitors. Excellent pasturage may be had— more than ten acres of wheat and grass are now ready to receive horses &c. at a moderate price. In a few weeks preparations will be made to accommodate a consi- derable number of visitors. Any per- son will be privileged to build a house for their accommodation,
which shall belong to such person as long as he may think proper to oc- cupy it—and when such person re- moves from it, the house shall be a my disposal until such person may wish to re-occupy it again, who shall have the house two days after notice of such intention. The neighbourhood is thick settled and the market will be good.
A pump for drawing water for bathing, etc. will shortly be finished. I shall erect a large house suffi- cient to suit Gentlemen and Ladies who may visit this place for their health or amusement.

ODE TO MIRTH.
WRITTEN BY A CAROLINIAN.
Quid sit futurum cras, fuge quærere; et Quem fors dierum cumque dabat, lucro Aptone: nec dulces amores Sperne, puer, neque te Choreas; Dolce vivit cantus abest Mororai.
BANISH sorrow, banish grief, Mirth will quickly lend relief! Hither bring the budding rose, E'er with full blown grace it glows; Haste and join each gaudy flower, Doomed to deck the vernal hour; Swiftly guides life's tide away, None can look beyond to-day! Hence cordial care! avant, And the guilty boisterous haunt: Horror to thy pallid crew, Loll I bid a long adieu: Go some lonesome turret seek, Where the wintry blast blows bleak; And the watch bell's fuller toll Strikes with awe the timid soul.
Hither mirth as light as air, Hither blithe nymph repair! Come adorn'd with every smile, And the tedious hours beguile; While the lute and warbling lyre, Thoughts of tender love inspire; Life alas! is but a span, Let's enjoy it while we can; What avail the deep-drawn sigh, Gloomy look and streaming eye? When the tyrant Death shall call, Grave or merry we must fall; Strength, alas! or beauties bloom, Cannot save us from the tomb!
T. R. S.
"I rifles light as air."
The first maxim in a married condition is—that you be above trifles. When two persons have to go an opinion of each other as to come together for life, they will not differ in matters of importance, because they think of each other with respect, in regard to all things of consideration that may affect them, and are prepared for mutual assistance and relief in such occurrences; but for the less occasions they have formed no resolutions, but leave their minds unprepared.

WHEREAS I was married to Jane Hulce and his wife, the 8th day of the honorable Circuit Court held for Bourbon county, at the court house, at 11 o'clock, in a suit of slander, which I did not bring within the limited time the law required, after which charge was exhibited against me, by her infra-mentioned, so that I have no recourse at law again; I therefore take this expedient to show my innocence, and to expose her to the world, in publishing to their view, the slanderous charge she, the said Hulce's wife, has exhibited against me. The charge was, that I was an Heremaphrodite, and was guilty of unlawful incest with a woman of good character, in my neighborhood; and likewise of having bastards in other places. I now not only say the charge is absolutely andarrant falsehood, but prove it to be a wilful and malicious lie, by the following certificate, as it will show it is not consistent with my sex.
