The Noted Running Horse, DARE DEVIL, (OR JOHNSON & COLT.)
STANDS in Lexington, near the lower end of Mr. Dodge's rope walk and adjoining Mr. J. Maxwell's field, at the white stable on the late extension of Upper-Street; to be let to mares at ten dollars the season, which may be discharged by the payment of six within the season, twenty-five cents at the stable door.  DARE DEVIL is an elegant deep bay, black legs, mane and tail, full 15 1-2 hands high, was got by the old imported Don Carlos, his dam by old Harmless, his grand dam by col. Fitzhugh's noted True Whig. To say more of his pedigree I conceive unnecessary. His colts are large and very elegant, and those that have been tried, are found to be horses of great strength and activity, fine figure and gaiety and have, when grown up, commanded very high prices; Dare Devil is a horse of fine figure, and great gaiety & sprightliness, and certainly possesses the grand requisites either for the turf, saddle or harness; excellent eyes, fine limbs, strong bone, muscular strength and action equal perhaps to any horse in the United States, as will appear from the following sketch of his performance.
In the fall '97, he won the Jockey Club colt's purse at Lexington; in the fall '98, he distanced the noted running horse Weazle, four miles the heats, at maj. Blackburn's course; the same fall he won a purse at Frankfort, beating several fleet horses; was brought to Lexington the next day by 12 o'clock, notwithstanding the roads were very deep and heavy, was started immediately (without being cleaned) flew the course, leaped a high fence that was put up at a short turn in the course with the intent to keep the horses from flying off the course, was leaped back, saved his distance that heat, and took the purse, two miles the heats, beating col. Bobb's noted running stud horse Black Shark, and col. Risby's Roan. In August '99, he won a quarter race for 100. at Miller's Town, carrying 200 lbs. to a catch, beating col. Buckner's mare, a noted quarter nag; the same year, in September, he received a forfeit of 500 dollars, on a match with the noted running stud horse Alfred, two miles the heats; the same fall he won a purse at Danville, two miles the heats; the next week he won a purse at Bairdstown, three miles the heats, beating Black Shark, and distancing the noted horse Gold Wire, one week after walked over the course at Louisville for the first day's purse. There are a great number of other races formerly run by Dare Devil, which he was successful in, but do not state them lest I might be inaccurate; one however I am informed of by Mr. Gatewood—a purse race, the heats, at George Town, where he more than double distanced the famous running horse Diomed, which had been kept by Mr. Gatewood. I believe I may say with propriety, that he has run and won more races than any horse that ever ran in this state.
The foregoing statement of his pedigree and performance, is impartial and precise, as near as I could ascertain from good authority.
ALSO, The High Bred Race Horse GRAY-SQUIRREL,
Stands at the same place, to be let to mares at 5 dollars the season, which may be discharged by the payment of three within the season. Twenty-five cents at the stable door.  GRAY-SQUIRREL was got by the famous full bred horse Eolus, out of Capt. Prior's noted running gray mare Gade; her performance on the turf in Kentucky, is well known, she won six purse races in one season.
Gray-Squirrel was started at 3 years old, for a purse at Nicholasville, he won the first heat easily, but lost the race by an accident of running against a stump. At 4 years old he ran a match race, single three miles, over the Lexington track, against col. Sanders's famous horse Albert, for 500 dollars, a won the race with ease. The same fall he won a purse at the Forks of Elkhorn, from several good horses. He is of a large and excellent running family of horses.
N. BURROWES. Lexington, March 8.  N. B. Good pasturage for mares at a moderate price, and every attention paid to them, but will not be liable for accidents or escapes.  P. S. Such mares as did not stand to the horse last season, and have not been transferred, may have a leap gratis.

FOR SALE.
8,000 Acres of Land, ON the left hand side of the three forks as you go up the Kentucky, and at their junction. This land runs along the river three miles, and nine miles back. The bottoms are rich land; the ridges are capable of producing wheat, and other small grains. The pasturage is excellent for raising flock of all kinds, as it has a plenty of cane brakes, and peavines. All along the river is the sugar tree, wild cherry, and other woods common to this country. When you go back some distance, is the pine; which produces tar, turpentine, pitch and rosin; which will finally be valuable, independent of the wood that is upon the land. There is also a rock close to low water mark; that when the water is very low, shews clear salt upon its surface; and the rock itself tastes salt. There has been three water-witches (as they call them,) trying the experiment, and say, there is four feet square of very hot water at the top of the bank, which is not an hundred feet from the water; and close to it a very easy ascending hill, for several miles; and also the wood along the river. A coal bank within three hundred yards. There is also five valuable coal banks, which are near the river, with easy access to them. A coal yard and boat yard; and it is said, several salt-petre caves. The bottoms and along the creeks would produce good cotton or hemp. Lexington alone, independent of the country blacksmiths, consumes thirteen thousand bushels per annum. We will suppose Frankfort five thousand, which falls at the landing at one shilling per bushel, and twenty thousand might be sold: this might be made productive by a man of small capital. Independent of these advantages, the mouth of the three forks is the best fishing place in the State. In a small crib they can get five hundred pounds of fish in a day, and may get by a sein, five or seven hundred barrels per annum. Tobacco, flour, beef, pork, tallow, hogs' lard, hemp, cordage, whiskey, or cast iron, will be taken in payment. Part credit will be given. If the whole cannot be sold, a half will be sold, or a third. A clear and indisputable deed will be given. For terms apply to Mr. Wm. Leavy Lexington, or at this office.
Lexington, December 4, 1805.
N. B. There are a number of acres of clear bottom land, and several log houses upon the above lands.
FOR SALE.
THE PLANTATION on which I now live, containing 162 1-2 acres, within 5 miles of Lexington; about 80 acres of which are cleared and under good fence—There are two good dwelling houses on said farm, the one a hewed log house, the other a brick; a large double barn 60 by 25 feet, with other necessary buildings. Also a young bearing apple and peach orchard. No place is better watered than the above, having a cave, which is valuable, especially in the neighbourhood of Lexington. My price is $750—1000 dollars paid by the first of September next, the balance in two equal annual payments.  W. STEVENSON. February 10, 1806.
CRANIOLOGY.
New Doctrine on Skulls.
An article from Berlin says, that the famous Dr. Gall, devotes the greater part of his time to lecturing on skulls. He has departed from Hall, and has left behind him the most profound admiration of his doctrine. Six skulls were sent from Jena to the judge Loder, with the biography of the persons to whom they belonged. These authentic documents were sealed up, and these mysterious packets were not to be opened until the oracle had pronounced, that is to say, until after the decision of Dr. Gall. Without doubt no communication could be sent to him by post, or otherwise.—Be it as it may, the doctor gravely examined the six skulls, and has found the organ of thievery more or less developed in each of them; he said, that one of the six belonged to the most stupid of mortals, the dullness of whom was fully evinced by the formation of the skull. In short, this was the most stupid skull which he had ever examined. The documents were then opened, with all requisite solemnity, and it appeared from them, that he had just pronounced judgment on the head of Schinderhannes, and those of five of the companions of that robber; and that the stupid skull belonged to one of the five latter.—But one of the greatest triumphs of Dr. Gall, is the conviction of professor Schutz, the most obstinate of the incredulous who had disbelieved the doctrine of craniology. This professor thought to lay a snare for the doctor, in presenting him with the skull of a person, of whom the friends of the professor knew perfectly well the life & character. M. Gill decided, that it belonged to a person who had some inclination to thievery, an excess of giddiness, and a particular faculty of imitating and mimicking all kinds of fantastical characters, and also of acting from nature. The assessment of the professor was beyond conception; he was struck with veneration for the doctor, and his system of craniology. The skull was that of a pupil of M. Schutz, a most hair-brained young girl, who was foolish enough to go on the stage, & used to play constantly at Jena, and who being often suspected, had at length drowned herself, to avoid the consequences of a charge of pilfering. The auditors of M. Gill, to the number of 436 persons, were composed of physicians, surgeons, their pupils, and some military men. The judge Beil, and the judge Loder, have not as yet published their opinions, and intend to collect a great number of observations before they pronounce for or against so extraordinary a system.
POCKET MONEY.
It appears that the Hungarians have found out, that there is a price paid for their legs and arms, as was formerly on the war of the American revolution set upon the heads, legs and arms of the Hessians.
It was that orthodox royalist Edmund Burke, who compared Hesse and Brunswick to shamblies—and reprobated with an eloquence that was irresistible, the barbarous traffic carried on in men—the letting out for a sum of money, for a given number of guineas, men for the purpose of cutting American throats, in support of the government of that most religious prince George III—the price was at the beginning, only £30 sterling for the Hessian carcass dead, and if living with the loss of an arm the price was reduced to £10 sterling—if a leg, the price was £20, that is, the dead carcasses brought the prince of Hesse and the prince duke of Brunswick more pocket money, than a leg or an arm lost—and even a leg or an arm lost was more productive than the whole individual alive.
It was on this account that the Hessians and Hanoverians during the American revolution—were constantly placed in the post of danger—where the greatest quantity of legs, arms, and dead carcasses was likely to be made—for as the object was to provide pocket money for these christian princes—the more dead the more honor—and the more pocket money.
What a balancing of accounts that must have been, which took place after the war of our revolution; the capture at Trenton, was indeed a fortunate capture for the poor Hessians—and even for the prince of Hesse—for he was paid by England as for so many dead men.
The French revolution put an end to the princely Hessian traffic in human carcasses—but we find that one market remains open for this trade—it now appears that the king of England, and he is allowed on all hands to be more pious and more attached to the church (of England) than any of his predecessors from Henry VIII, downward—this reli-
gious king has entered into an agreement, and formed a tariff, with one of the electors of Germany, to wit, the elector of Hanover—to do not start reader, it is a matter of fact! a tariff for the supply of live carcasses; it is only a renewal of a former contract between the same two governments for the like ends, which took place in 1754—whereby the elector of Hanover agreed to furnish the king of England with some twenty thousand white negroes, natives of Hanover, who were to be employed on the plantations of France and Holland, to work in blood in the support of the religion and liberties of Europe.
This is sporting with serious things—the reader will say—but those who will say so, must feel the severity of this sport—they will see, that when we touch this bloody theme—this impious trafficking of the majesty of Heaven—the blasphemy which falls and prays and affects the love of God & man, and the practice of morality—and at the same time makes such contracts for such purposes, they who are shocked at our sporting with serious things, will feel angered only by its truth, and its irrefutable severity.
During our revolution; during the French revolution; and at this time, contract was, and is in force, on the one part the king of England is the contractor, and on the other part the elector of Hanover is the contractor; the latter lends to the former, say 40,000 men, with the conditions annexed, that the king and parliament of England pay for the food and raiment, and materials for murder of the white negroes; and the lords and commons and the whole bench of bishops, did in the two former instances, make a due and legal ratification of the contract and a provision by law therefor; with this further condition, that for every Hanoverian killed in the service of the king of England, the elector of Hanover should get £30 sterling, (the price of the commodity has been enhanced to £40 sterling) and so in proportion for the pieces.
This advance of price was not an act of the prince of Hesse;—no: he was not so selfish; it was the elector of Hanover who, without considering or making any allowance for the sensibility of the most pious and religious king in Europe, his majesty George III, whom all the world agrees has immortalized his reign—the most immortalized his reign—the elector of Hanover it was that insisted on advancing the price of white Hanoverian negroes 25 per cent.—there was a great deal of bickering about it—but it was at length settled (sometime before the duke of York was at Dunkirk) that the price should be £40 a carcass.
Now the black negroes imported from the vital colony at Sierra Leone, with the stamp of Wilberforce upon them, sell at 200 to 500 dollars; so that the black negro of Africa, is rather above par in the carcass market—and let us not do the dealers in black stock too much injustice—the traffic is black and abominable enough—but surely those who are admirers of the traffic in Hanoverian negroes—and the bickering about the prices of heads, legs and arms, are the last who should deprecate the black. Yet we know that among the most ardent flickers for black emancipation (and if they were confident their ardor would be entitled to honor and veneration) among those flickers for the emancipation of the black—we find the most ardent admirers and advocates of the white negro traffic carried on between the king of England and the elector of Hanover.
Who does not recollect the accounts in the British gazettes of 1764 and 1765, of the triumphs of the Hanoverian general Walmoden—and their forced marches, and above all their forced retreats, through Holland—who can reflect on the effects without a sigh—the pocket money which the king of England paid to the elector of Hanover on this occasion, was in proportion to the valor of Walmoden; who was always the first in action, and the dexterity of English manoeuvre was such that the Hanoverians under the gallant Walmoden were always the last out—if they could get out—of 86,000, about 13,000 only got back—the rest took possession of Holland or Flanders, six feet a man, and were paid for to the elector of Hanover £40 a head!—23,000 Hanoverian white negroes at £40 a head £920,000,—this may be only, say four millions of dollars!
Did this money go to the wives, or the mothers, the fathers, or the brothers or even the children of those who had been killed in Holland and Flanders under the gallant Walmoden? No. When did it go then?
Into the pocket of the elector of Hanover.
And who paid the money? The unfortunate people of England. And who is the elector of Hanover?
The king of England—the principal on both sides of the contract. "What shall us say to these things?" Thomas Paine said long ago—that monarchy was the "master fraud" of all frauds.
Yet what is more common than The same persons { admire the Hanover contractor, revile Thomas Paine? These contradictions of character form a cruel and sad satire on mankind; but they form useful matters for reflection.

to every man who has a spark of real christian charity and liberty in him.
The Hanoverian general Walmoden always covered the retreat--literally with whole battalions of 40 pounders.
These 40 pounders always explained the change of a manoeuvre, if the 40 pounders were in the rear, and the French in front, then the gallant duke of York, countermarched, or changed front, or formed a column on his left--we recollect an instance, there were 2000 of the 40 pounders killed in one battle, this was £80,000 sterling, or 360,000 dollars, for only one day's work--pocket money.
Our readers must recollect an account of the royal feast at Frogmore in England; little more than a year since we published it--all the feasts--all the viands--all the liquors, were served up in vessels of gold.
The number of persons confined for debt at the same moment in England, was said to be 21,000.
But when the elector of Hanover could get 360,000 dollars for one day's killing of Hanoverian white negroes--can it be surprising on the one hand that he should have feasts at Frogmore with vessels of gold.
Or, that 21,000 men should be in debt and in prison.
Wretches who are unconscious of personal worth--honor--or virtue--are always advocates for monarchy--because, as Montesquieu truly says, "virtue is not congenial with monarchy."
The Hanoverians from 18 to 40 years of age, are again called into the field--and as the tariff stands at £40 a head; should Bonaparte cross from Olmutz to Dresden, and it is little more than half the distance from Ulm to Vienna--it is impossible to foretell what quantity of pocket money the elector of Hanover would have--but there is no doubt that we should hear of the loyalty, the fidelity to their prince, and the death of thousands of unfortunate Hanoverians--of men, who, when they are not in the field, are not trusted, loyal as they are, with their own defence.
We cannot avoid just remarking what a satire on despotic governments, is the capture of the arms at Ulm, at Vienna, at Inspruck, at Brennero, at Brann;--in a despotic government the people are soothed with arms in their own hands; they are laid up in magazines; the people therefore are ignorant of the use of arms, and conscious that they are not trusted; that their government is a master fraud, and their governors therefore afraid to trust them.

GENERAL MIRANDA.
In giving the following communication to the world, we do it with that caution which the subject of it is calculated to inspire. That subject is without doubt uncommonly interesting. The sailing of the Leander and her consorts from New-York, the manner in which they were equipped, and the suspicions which were attached to them while they were in port, were evidently calculated to raise every thing about them, more especially the point of destination and the end of so singular an equipment, into objects of uncommon curiosity. Party spirit too stepped in to aid the natural impulse of the occasion. The federalists did not fail to seize upon the mysterious cover in which the plan was enveloped, and to create the most extraordinary charges against the administration. The project of Gen. Miranda, according to their representation, was either directly promoted or indirectly connived at. The federalists therefore enquired, to collect the materials for an attack: the republicans, to defend the administration. Under such circumstances, the expedition of Gen. Miranda has become an object of considerable interest. Fables have been formed; conjectures have been offered; almost every one has been anxious to explain, but none has yet positively ascertained, the objects of this mysterious enterprise. The field of conjecture is yet open to the imagination, and the race of monstrous absurdities is not yet ended. We shall not therefore presume to vouch for the veracity of a single fact contained in the following communication. The author professes to be confident in the truth of his theory. He is an acquaintance of Gen. Miranda; conversant with his plans, and convinced of their reality. But this is an affair between Gen. Miranda and himself. Far be it from our will to make it a subject of contention between us and the publick. We give it to them as it is given to us. We are the organs, but not authors of the communication. It is put to the press under the persuasion, that if it will not enlighten by its accuracy, it may amuse by the novelty of the fable, and that whether it contains fiction or fact, it may serve to invite the attention of the public to the future development of the plot.
COMMUNICATION.
That Miranda, has embarked at New-York--that he has actually gone from thence, with the fixed design to emancipate his country from the yoke of Spain, is a notorious fact.
Standing alone, this might be deemed a project of a mere adventurer; but when we read the following short history of this man, the mind must expand with wonder, that it has been delayed so long.
So long since as 1767, there were five delegates from five provinces of South America, at Madrid, sent to complain of intolerable grievances; they were denied redress through haughtiness and pride, just as our agents were, before our disputes had ended by war. One of these delegates, was intrusted to make certain propositions to Great-Britain. Lord Chatham (who had formed a whole administration, under a most solemn promise from the king, that he should have his unbounded confidence during life) embraced those propositions, gave the agent £1000 yearly, till the design should be carried into effect; he was paid this pension no longer than the life time of that administration, and the agent was, along with the other four, sacrificed to the resentment of Spain.
In 1788, Miranda, who was born in Caracas, a city about 12 miles South of Liguirra, made his appearance in this country; he is well known by many of our most eminent citizens; possesses a strong mind; & since his travels through all Europe he may be supposed equal to any man now living, as to intelligence and capacity, for the most important affairs.
His object has been nothing short and nothing else, than to deliver his country from a most intolerable and humiliating bondage. When England fitted out a large fleet to support their claims at Neutra Sound, Miranda was engaged to do more than aid them in those claims, but the expedition was abandoned; the cause may be conjectured, but time only will develop the facts.
Disappointed, till the revolution had created war between France & Spain, he went to Paris; became a general in their armies. That fatal defeat of the left wing under Dumourier, which he commanded, caused suspicion, that having come over from England, they might have been betrayed, but all the Americans in Paris (among whom Tom. Paine & Joel Barlow) gave it as their decided opinion, that his principles were strictly pure, honorable and truly republican; he proved also, that he protested against the mode of attack the night before the action, and that he refused Dumourier's pressing solicitations to emigrate long with him. He would have embarked with an army from France for the directory had it in view, but no opportunity offered till peace was concluded. Intent on the same object, he once more offered his services to England; they were once more accepted, and he was once more deceived. When just upon embarking he found, contrary to every previous and solemn compact, that Mr. Pitt meant conquest, and not the emancipation of his country. He renounced all participation in the expedition, rent his commission in pieces, reproached him with perfidy, duplicity and lies, and embarked for America.
It is unnecessary to say more than that the doors will be opened in three provinces, now organized; they know our example and will follow it; no conditions remain with the government of England; all nations will be invited to their ports, none so much desired as our own; offers of fraternity and friendship will, if we are willing, unite this whole continent like the solar system, by one common attraction; every part holding its due proportion in its own orbit, giving beauty and harmony to the whole.
The above sketch is to satisfy public curiosity; as to the means, the place of destination, or ports to be first opened, it would be improper to say any thing farther; the plan is well digested; miracles do not come every day, and unless a miracle does come, Miranda must succeed.
A FEW STRICTURES.
The preceding communication is without doubt, extremely complimentary to the design and character of Gen. Miranda. But it is incumbent on us to remark, that there are other representations of a very different nature.
With respect to the design itself, some have ventured to suggest, that he object of Gen. Miranda is not to liberate his country; but to com-
mit a predatory excursion upon the coast of S. America, to sack the wealthy city of Buenos-Ayres, or to seize upon the treasury of Peru; while others have dispatched him on a commercial speculation, neither so honourable as the emancipation of his country, nor so lucrative as the seizure of its riches.
If the design of Miranda be really what it professes to be, some have gone on to doubt his qualifications for the accomplishment of his projects. They have called him an ardent adventurer; they have pointed him out in the history of the wars of France, as a disgraced and cashiered General; they have illustrated the incapacity of his soul, by the repeated miscarriage of his plans. Few, like our communicator, have ventured to extol his "intelligence, and capacity for the most important affairs."
But let his plan be ever so noble, or his qualifications ever so great, many have doubted the probability of his succeeding in the emancipation of his country. We know not, and our communicator carefully avoids to touch upon the point of his destination; whether it be Mexico, New Grenada, Peru, or Buenos-Ayres. But in all those countries, difficulties would surround him. The people are the devoted slaves of the clergy, in all the Spanish colonies, and the clergy are bound by their rich benefices, to the present order of things. Their political prejudices are scarcely less obstinate than their ecclesiastical: they have no peers among them; their oppressions may be great, but they have learned to be contented. The very monopoly of commerce which prevails among them, has the effect of shutting out another of the great means of improvement. Few strangers visit their country, and the miserable vassals of Mexico and Peru, has no opportunity to profit by the discoveries of more civilized countries.
But why may not the Spanish colonies become as independent as the British colonies formerly did? We may reply, that their condition is different in two important circumstances. Not only was our people freer than the Spanish colonies are at present; as much freer at least, in proportion as the British government is more enlightened than the Spanish; but the government which was established in our colonies, was much better calculated to give success to a revolution. The legislatures which were previously established in our own colonies, survived the downfall of the British sovereign, and were admirably fitted for collecting together the force of the nation. But in the Spanish colonies, no such organization exists for the concentration of the public force. The whole business of legislation is in the hands of Viceroys, or other subordinate agents of the Crown. Electors and elected, constituents and representatives, are names without a meaning in the Spanish vocabulary.
These circumstances are strongly calculated to produce a doubt, respecting the success of Miranda's proposed enterprise, under the present state of the Spanish colonies. On this subject, however, we are bound to speak with all the humility of doubt. We know but little of the present state of the Spanish colonies; the strength of the government, the character of its present officers, or its military resources. We know full less of Miranda's means, or the resources of his adherents. If "three provinces" are already "organized," if Miranda is assisted, if not by the treasury, at least, as it is said, by the admiralty of England; if three millions of dollars have been furnished by his American associates, or English speculators, if success should crown his first exertions, and the treasury of the King of Spain should fall into his hands; if the military force of that country be feeble, or its discipline imperfect; it is certainly probable, that Miranda may become the Washington of his country. What we mean to assert is, that every if a "miracle does" not "come," still Miranda may not "succeed."

MARRIED.
On Tuesday last, Mr. Jno. A. Grimes, of Fayette county, to the agreeable Miss Lucy S. Broadus, of Jessamine county.
At length we have received the official accounts of the battle which took place early in December, between the French and allied armies. The hour at which those accounts were received, renders it impossible to give them in detail in this day's Gazette--they shall appear on Wednesday. As we expected, the battle terminated entirely in favor of the French; the consequence of which was, an immediate armistice--and a definitive treaty will of course take place, between the emperors of France Austria and Russia. England will then be left to contend single handed with France. We hope a general peace will soon take place.
Congress is still engaged on the resolutions offered by Mr. Gregg and others, relative to restricting the intercourse with Great Britain.
NEW-YORK, March 10.
We stop the press to announce the receipt of intelligence from the European continent, of a very important nature. The official bulletins of the grand army, to the 5th Dec. are in our possession. They reached us at a late hour last evening, in time to give merely a brief abstract of their contents.
In the actions which succeeded that described by Berthier, in Thursday's Mercantile Advertiser, the French have been so completely victorious, that an armistice has been agreed to, between Austria and France, preparatory to a definitive peace. It is amongst the conditions, that the French shall occupy Upper and Lower Austria, the Tyrol, the State of Venice, Corinthia, Styria, Carniola, the county of Goritz, and Ilyria: in short, within Bohemia, the circle of Montabor, and all the country to the East of the road from Tabor to Linz. The Russian army is to evacuate the Austrian States, Austrian Poland, Moravia and Hungary, and the two Galacias, and are to return home. Of 80,000 Russians, which formed the quota furnished for the coalition, one half has been cut off; and the survivors, without artillery or baggage, and surrounded by the French, had no hope of escaping, but by surrendering themselves prisoners. This armistice was concluded on the 6th of December at Austerlitz.
The action which has thus terminated the war between the three Emperors, is represented as being without a parallel in ancient or modern times.
A passenger in the Frances Ann, to whom we acknowledge ourselves indebted for the papers containing these accounts, informs us, that official advices were received at Bordeaux on the 25th Dec. that 10,000 English, and 6000 Russians, had been debarked for Hanover, and that on the 14th, Marshal Angerau had orders to proceed thither by forced marches, at the head of an army of 70,000.
PHILADELPHIA, March 10.
We are this moment made acquainted with a piece of intelligence (upon the most incontestible testimony,) which cannot but excite in the public mind, sensations of deep apprehension for the future peace of the nation. It is no less a fact than this--That the ships Indostan and Emperor, of New-York, have sailed from the island of St. Domingo, to join the ship Leander, now generally declared to be bound, with hostile intentions, to the Spanish province of Carracas.
March 13.
We have great satisfaction in communicating to the publick, the following pleasing information, inasmuch as it completely purges the government of all criminal connivance at, or participation in the late mysterious expedition under Miranda: A letter is received from Gen. Dearborn, Secretary at war, in which he peremptorily declares that neither the administration, nor any of the heads of departments individually, had any knowledge of the destination of the Leander; that on the subject neither Mr. Jefferson or Mr. Madison ever had any conferences and communications with Gen. Miranda; that it was not until after the had failed that they were advised of her being destined on a hostile voyage; and that on receiving this advice, suits were instituted immediately against the parties concerned, and that too, before any representations were made to them by any foreign minister or agent.
tuted immediately against the parties concerned, and that too, before any representations were made to them by any foreign minister or agent.
We have accounts from Havana, that letters had been received there from New-York, giving a statement of the expedition of Miranda, with a variety of conjectures on the subject. This news induced the government at Havana to order a number of cruizers for the coast of Spanish main; and it was supposed an embargo would be immediately laid on American vessels in that port. It is added that if the destination of the Leander proves to be against any of the Spanish possessions, a confiscation of American property may be expected.

DAMON I love, yet know not why; But well I know I fondly love; For me he heaves the tender sigh, Kindred sighs my bosom prove. Yet never did his tongue express The vows that common lovers frame, Nor have I ventured to confess Our guileless wishes are the same. Friendship, unheeding paved the way To mutual love's enchanting power; The blossom of the vernal day, Thus forms the sweet, the beauteous flower. And when the flower shall fade and die, Nor leave a single charm behind, Our passion shall e'en time defy, And bloom eternal as the mind. "TRIFLES LIGHT AS AIR."

The Irish lad, who happened to have a shillelagh in his hand, answered, "O they eat very well my jewel, would you like to taste the stalk?" and knocking the enquirer down, coolly walked off.
