Reflections on Political Economy, and the Prospect before us.
Addressed to the Citizens of the Western Country.
No. XIV.
The importance of giving to our Western Markets an established character.
IT will be in vain, by the most prudent efforts, to preserve the reputation of our Markets abroad, if we neglect to bestow the proper care upon our inspections. It is the inspection that ascertains the quality and the real value of the article exported to a foreign port, or sold for consumption at home. Each of these markets will be entirely regulated by the character which it assumes after it has come from under the hands of the inspector; and as it receives no other review, until it is actually offered for sale—its fate may be said to depend entirely upon the inspection it has received, when first taken from the hands of the original manufacturer.
In order, therefore, that our markets may receive a favourable reputation abroad, and that the exporter may not sustain a loss by his cargo, it is absolutely necessary that he should know precisely the value and quality of the commodity which he ships off. For instance, the merchant in Kentucky, receives an order from his correspondent at New Orleans, for 500 bds. of such tobacco as will best suit the market in London; and 1000 barrels of superfine flour. He buys at the home market, such tobacco notes as designate the quality of the article he wants; and such flour, as comes recommended with the stamp of the inspector, as superfine. Reposing the utmost confidence in the abilities and discriminating judgment of the inspector, he makes up his cargo and sends it out to the port of its destination. When it arrives there, it undergoes a second inspection, by the merchant; and one half of each article, is found to belong to different classes.
What are the fatal consequences that arise from this faulty, incautious management? It makes a two-fold impression—1st. on the exporter, and 2d. on the importer of the cargo.
The exporter loses by paying the same price for articles of unequal quality and value.
He loses by the amount of expence incurred in shipping to market articles of such a quality, as at the time of shipping, will not command a saving price abroad; in ware-house and inspection fees, the purchase of boats, and the wages of labour.
He loses by directing his capital in a wrong channel, when he could otherwise have made a profitable appropriation of it.
He loses by risking his credit, in perhaps an hundred different quarters; because such is the nature of mercantile arrangements, that the whole system very often sustains an injury, by one single unfortunate movement.
He loses by forfeiting the confidence reposed in him by his correspondent abroad—and
He loses by the bad character which the home market—the peculiar theatre of his commercial operations, sustains in the business.
The importer, in the mean time, suffers the same loss. If he has had an order from a distant correspondent to execute, his loss arises from the disappointment occasioned by the failure of the first exporter. His arrangements are broken—his credit in some measure impaired—the confidence imposed in him is shaken—and that enterprise which is the life of commerce, is rendered lifeless and inactive, in proportion to the injuries to which it has given birth, in the general negotiation. In a country, also, where the agricultural economy of the state, depends upon the fate of commerce, such transactions as I have mentioned, make the most injurious impressions upon that economy; and render its operations inactive in the same ratio, and from the same original cause.
I have made these remarks, to show how much the prosperity of a commercial country, depends upon the judgment and integrity of those agents, whose business it is, to inspect the qualities of commodities, prior to their exportation to the market with which that country is connected. It is a subject, that, in regulating the internal policy of a state, claims as much legislative vigilance and circumspection, as any other that can possibly come within the limits of its duty. The imperfection or inefficacy of local laws, occasion but partial injuries. Others, also, of a more general nature, which do not so particularly relate to the vital springs of society, may want both energy and determination in their operations, without diffusing many very bad effects. But in a country like our own, where the ruinous habit of exporting our cash, requires a different mode of commerce to retain it in the state; where the credit of that state, will depend upon the means of rendering our circulating medium stationary, by opening a natural channel for the exportation of our commodities to market; where labour itself will become lifeless, and even the common inducements to activity and virtue
cease to operate upon an overgrown opulence of soil, without a proper stimulus to urge them into action, and where arts, manufactures, education and genius, and the various means of rendering life secure and happy, rest so much upon the due distribution of riches; the laws connected with the fate of commerce, as the only true mean of producing every good effect, should be carefully digested, watched over with the utmost solicitude, and executed in such a manner as to answer the designs of the legislature.
Our inspection laws in Kentucky, require an immediate revision. The little care that has been heretofore devoted to this important subject, has been the source of all the injuries we have sustained from the fallen reputation of our home markets, abroad. In the articles of flour, beef, pork, bacon and hemp, that reputation has been almost ruined by the exportation of many cargoes to market, without being inspected at all. In that of tobacco, an equal injury has been sustained, from submitting its inspection to careless, ignorant, and unprincipled men. Although the laws have exempted, by their silence, many articles from undergoing a review before their exportation, yet I am clearly of opinion, that in all well regulated commercial states, much advantage will be derived from the establishment of inspections by law, which shall class each commodity, intended for exportation, and assign to it such a particular quality as to prevent deception in its sale. The old maxim, "honesty is the best policy," a maxim of more intrinsic merit than all the moral and religious lectures that have ever been scattered through the world—can, upon no occasion, apply better than in commercial transactions. It is the life of trade; because it begets confidence, secures reputation, and credit, and enables the merchant, by small means, to diffuse much advantage in an extensive range.
In Kentucky, we have between twenty and thirty inspections for tobacco, and one third of the number, under proper regulations, would have a better effect. There are some important reasons, which will appear in the course of these reflections, why our legislature ought to bestow particular care on this subject. It may be remarked, however, that the legislature has been as incautious in establishing ware-houses, on the lands of avaricious proprietors, as in dividing the counties, to gratify individual convenience, by the erection of county towns. They did not reflect, perhaps, that the very circumstance of placing the inspections in a variety of hands, would defeat the design of the law, by expanding the circle of imposition. I shall develop this subject in my next number.
ARISTIDES.
For the Kentucky Gazette.
THE Author of "Political Reflections, &c." refers "A Citizen" to almost every historical and new-spaper account that has been given on the subject of the French Revolution, as well as to the Diplomatic History of the United States, and the present aspect of affairs in Europe, to ascertain the validity of the position he has assumed on that subject, in the pamphlet on the cession of Louisiana. In detailing the advantages of our acquisition, the author has contented himself in making a statement of facts, because they were relative to the subject of his investigations. He leaves it to the "Citizen," who appears to possess no small share of "The milk of human kindness," to expose the causes of a series of events, which he so pathetically laments. No man in speaking of an effect that relates to his subject, is bound to exhibit an irrelevant cause. The causes which brought about the French revolution and its terrible train of incidents, it will be the province of the philosopher to detail. The effects of that wonderful change in the human mind, will be recorded by the historian; and the duty of combining, comparing, illustrating, and deducing, is the peculiar business of the politician. In this capacity, the author of "Political Reflections, &c." is inclined to believe, he has discharged his duty.
The author of "Political Reflections, &c." was not ignorant, at the time he committed his thoughts to paper, of the purport of Mr. Monroe's diplomatic communications in 1794. He asks the "Citizen" what has this fact to do with the object in controversy? At that period, the councils of France were regulated by an impotent and indeterminate oligarchy; and although it is a fact, that the intrigues of France, in relation to America, had been systematically for more than one hundred and fifty years, yet it is no where contended in the pamphlet, that it was always the intention of the French government to render the acquisition of Louisiana from Spain, an object to facilitate the enterprise of the former, against the repose of this country. The author lays a peculiar emphasis upon the ambitious character of the French crown; and the principal part of his remarks, with respect to the dangers we have escaped from French intrigue by the cession of Louisiana, point particularly to the enterprising projects of the French government, under the dominion of its present sovereign.
The Author of "Political Reflections, &c." is accused of partiality, injustice, and indecency. Towards what particular nation, but America, has he evinced
a partiality? To whom has he been guilty of injustice? and in what instance has he used the language of unmerited invective? If to feel an ethnocentric predilection towards a country, which with all its faults, possesses many claims to the veneration of mankind, on the ground of its wisdom, moderation, and justice—to detail, in appropriate language, the crimes, the vices, and the predilections of two rival nations, which we have been uniformly injudged to the happiness of America, be deemed, in an author, sufficient to forfeit the reputation of liberality and decorum, the author of "Political Reflections, &c." feels but little solicitude in repairing the breach which that reputation may have sustained, in the estimation of the "Citizen." This gentleman's system of morality, would tend to destroy every honorable notion of patriotism and liberality—to silence all lift orical evidence, of the most important and wonderful revolutions in the economy of the human mind, and to generate a degree of sullen distrust and caution in language, inimical to the free spirit of investigation, and subversive of truth.
In reply to the insinuations of the "Citizen" that the author of "Political Reflections" could not have directed his attention to the different revolutions in France, and the various incidents to which they gave birth, he refers the "Citizen" to pages 84, 85, and 86, of "Political Reflections, &c." As far as his penetration has been enabled to group through the chaos of events that marked those unfortunate periods, in the affairs of France—he begs leave to differ with the "Citizen" in the opinion, that the first constitution was wise, and best adapted to an European nation which was just emerging from slavery. That constitution was formed under the impressions of as much intemperance legislation, as those which succeeded it. The whole nation was in a state of anarchy; and the representatives of the people, carried into the councils of the republic, the spirit of fanaticism which agitated the mass of their constituents. The author of "Political Reflections," acknowledges that every other nation in the same situation, would have acted in the same manner. It was the fatal necessity that urged the nation on to many of the measures that were adopted, which he laments: but still, these measures compelled a degree of weakness in legislation; and in all political speculations, will form a kind of point from whence the statesman will make his deductions. The French people, in their peculiar situation, were, of all others, least capable of bearing a sudden emancipation from slavery. The nature of the despotism, the excess of population, the order of society, and the inveteracy of prejudice, that governed the minds of the clergy, nobility, and the innumerable adherents of the monarchy, suggested a more temperate and orderly succession of political experiments, to produce a secure and permanent regeneration. They were unwise in suddenly breaking open the doors of the national parliament, which had been virtually closed since the year 1614—they were unwise in executing their sovereigns at the juncture they did—they were unwise in suddenly voting for the extirpation of monarchy, instead of tempering by degrees the rigors of despotism, & permitting the semblance of the ancient regime to remain, in order to elude foreign combinations and internal conspiracy—they were unwise in suddenly destroying all privileged orders, and turning the whole body of society into one heterogeneous mass where despair, rage and mortification, combined to render the fallen orders implacable against the people, and the people against the degraded nobility.
The constitution that could give origin to such direful effects as these, could not have been a very "wise" one for France, at the period of its formation—notwithstanding, the author of "Political Reflections, &c." believes that it emanated from a correct knowledge of the rights of man, and contained the elements of a sublime and liberal philosophy. Yet as it so suddenly subverted the old order of things, and operated as a terrible monition to the aristocratical orders in Europe, it was the source of those formidable combinations and conspiracies, which precluded France from the elevated stand to which she aspired in the temple of liberty.
The author of "Political Reflections, &c." cannot forbear remarking, however, that the "Citizen" has evinced great moderation and temper in his strictures, indicative of a feeling mind, that alternately acknowledges and laments the errors of the unfortunate people of France. There is no one more sincerely disposed to reciprocate that sensibility than the author; who regrets that the investigation of an important national question, upon which the right understanding of the subject in some measure depended, compelled him to draw aside the veil that enclosed the most disastrous era of the French history.

LONDON, Nov. 22. His Britannic Majesty's Speech, to both Houses of Parliament.
About 3 o'clock, His Majesty proceeded, in his usual state, to the House of Lords, to open the session, and being seated on the throne, a Message was delivered to the House of Commons, to intimate his majesty's presence in the House of Peers, and to require their immediate attendance at the bar of that House. The Commons being come, his Majesty made the following most gracious speech: "My Lords and Gentlemen.
"Since I last met you in Parliament, it has been my chief object, to carry into effect those measures which your wisdom has adopted for the defence of the United Kingdom, and for the vigorous prosecution of the war. In these preparations, I have been seconded by the voluntary exertions of all ranks of my people, in a manner that has if possible, strengthened their claims to my confidence and affection: they have proved that the menaces of the enemy have only served to rouse their native and hereditary spirit; and that all other considerations are lost in a general disposition to make those efforts and sacrifices which the honor and safety of the kingdom demand at this important and critical conjuncture.
"Though my attention has principally been directed to the great object of internal security, no opportunity has been lost of making an impression on the foreign possessions of the enemy. The islands of St. Lucia, of Tobago, of St. Pierre and Miquelon, and the settlements of Demarara and Essequibo, have surrendered to the British arms. In the conduct of the operations, by which those valuable acquisitions have been made, the utmost promptitude and zeal have been displayed by the officers employed on those services, and by my forces acting under their command, by sea and land.
"In Ireland, the leaders, and several inferior agents, in the late traitorous and atrocious conspiracy, have been brought to justice; and the public tranquillity has experienced no further interruption. I indulge the hope, that such of my deluded subjects as have swerved
from their allegiance, are now convinced of their error; and that, having compared the advantages they derive from the protection of a free constitution with the condition of those countries which are under the dominion of the French government they will cordially and zealously concur in resisting any attempt that may be made against the security and independence of my United Kingdom.
"Gentlemen of the House of Commons, "I have a perfect reliance on your public spirit for making such provisions as may be necessary for the service of the year. The progressive improvement of the revenue cannot fail to encourage you to persevere in the system which has been adopted, of defraying the expenses of the war, with as little addition as possible to the public debt, and to the permanent burthens of this state.
"I lament the heavy pressure, which, under the present circumstances, must unavoidably be experienced by my people; but I am persuaded that they will meet it with the good sense and fortitude which so eminently distinguish their character under the conviction of the indispensable importance of upholding the dignity, and of providing effectually for the safety of the empire.
"My Lords and Gentlemen, "I have concluded a convention with the King of Sweden, for the purpose of adjusting all the differences which have arisen on the subject of the eleventh article of the treaty of 1661. I have directed that a copy of this convention should be laid before you; and you will, I trust, be of opinion that the arrangement, whilst it upholds our maritime rights is founded on those principles of reciprocal advantage which are best calculated to maintain and to improve the good understanding which happily subsists between two countries.
"In the prosecution of the contest in which we are engaged, it shall be, as it has ever been my first object to execute as becomes me, the great trust committed to my charge. Embarked with my brave and loyal people in one common cause, it is my fixed determination, if the occasion should arise, to share their exertions and their dangers in the defence of our constitution, our religion, our laws, and independence. To the activity and valour of my fleets and armies, to the zeal and unconquerable spirit of my faithful subjects, I confide the honor of my crown, and all those valuable interests, which are in the issue of this momentous contest.
"Actuated by these sentiments, and humbly imploring the blessings of Divine Providence, I look forward with a firm conviction, that I, contrary to all just expectation, the enemy should elude the vigilance of my numerous fleets and cruisers, and attempt to execute their presumptuous threats of invading our coasts, the consequences will be to them discomfiture, confusion and disgrace; and that our's will not only be the glory of surmounting present difficulties, and repelling immediate danger, but the solid and permanent advantage of fixing the safety and independence of the kingdom on the basis of acknowledged strength, the result of its own tried energy and resources."
A meeting of the board of Trustees, of the town of Lexington, the 14th day of February, 1804.
Whereas, an unprecedented fine has been unjustly imposed, contrary to the uniform liberty granted by the trustees of said town, for keeping building materials on the street,
Be it therefore ordained, that from and after the 15th day of March, 1804, every citizen of Lexington, who is building within the limits of said town, shall be entitled to the use of at least one half of the street or streets, opposite to his or her lot, for the special purpose of laying their building materials, subject to the regulation of the trustees only.

JAMES MORRISON, Agent for the United States, Feb. 20th, 1804.
NOTICE:—On the 24th of January, I took up one ANTHONY FORSTER, alias FOSTER, in this county, on suspicion of his killing a negro woman, the property of Mr. Garrard Fitzgerald, in Jackson county, state of Tennessee; he made his escape from Mr. Hunt, the sheriff of Claiborne county of the same state, on the 29th of the month above. He left his horse; it is likely he is a stolen one, if so, the owner may have him by proving his property and paying charges; the horse may be seen at Capt. Richardson Hayden's, at Knox court house, Kentucky.

LEXINGTON, FEBRUARY 28.
The Philadelphia company of Book-sellers have voted a gold medal of fifty dollars value, to Mr. Jacob Johnson, for having exhibited the best specimen of printing ink to the company.
The legislature of Vermont have passed the amendment to the constitution of the United States, yeas 93, nays 64. It has been rejected by the senate of Massachusetts, yeas 13, nays 19.
Seven states have passed the amendment, to wit—Vermont, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio and Kentucky.
And two have rejected it—Delaware and Massachusetts.
Edward Turner esq. formerly of this place, is appointed by the president, and approved by the senate, register of the land office in the Mississippi territory, for the lands lying west of Pearl river, in the county of Adams.
Yesterday's mail has furnished us with London dates to the 2d Dec. It appears the invading army was still daily expected, and every dispatch brought additional news respecting the forward state of their preparations.
Under date of Plymouth, November 29, a violent storm on the British coast is mentioned.
A private letter from the Hague, of the 16th Nov. says:—“General Victor yesterday informed the Directory, that within 24 hours, he must have 30,000 florins on account of the pay due to the French troops encamped between Utrecht and Amersfort, and in North-Holland; and if the money was not paid before 11 o'clock this day, he would order the troops to march to Amsterdam, there to pay themselves in the bank. Counters were immediately despatched to Amsterdam and Rotterdam; and several rich Jews, and other wealthy individuals, were invited to wait upon our minister of Finance, to consult about raising the money. Much anxiety and doubt prevailed. At length at 2 o'clock this morning, 350,000 florins were procured, as report says, at an interest of nearly 25 per cent. which, with the 150,000 florins in the national treasury, made up the sum demanded by Bonaparte's armed pro-consul. Four waggons loaded with this money, or, as some think, with only a part of it, went away this morning, at ten o'clock, under the escort of a party of French hussars. They took the road for Utrecht.”
The reports brought of the damage lately sustained at Madeira, are said to have greatly exaggerated the facts. It is true, that at the time mentioned, a very heavy rain, of 2 days duration fell in that island; and that the consequent current from the mountain was productive of considerable injury; the event of which however, was by no means so great as had been represented.
The lord-lieutenant of the county of Edinburgh has issued a proclamation, directing the necessary steps to be taken for removing from the coal, all cattle, and destroying all articles that might be serviceable to the enemy in the event of their landing in the Frith of Forth. Notice has also been given by his lordship, that signal stations to alarm the country are established at Braids-hill, Roman-camp, and Corstorphine-hill, at each of which there are three different signals for the day, and two for the night.
In the house of commons, Nov. 30, the chancellor of the exchequer obtained leave to bring in a bill, restraining the bank from making payments in specie.
The accounts stated in the former British papers of a general and formal application made by the legislative bodies to Bonaparte, petitioning him not to risk his person in the expedition to England, and of his assenting to their request, is declared by the papers now received to be a mere quiz.
The Irish rebel chief Dwyer, is stated in Dublin accounts still to engage the attention of government, and that a reward of two guineas had been offered for his capture.
Big Ohio, from Philadelphia arrived at Canton, after a passage of 105 days. On the Landroon islands, fell in with and engaged five piratical Chinese junks, carrying one heavy gun each, amid ship, and after a severe action of two glasses, beat them off. The fails and rigging of the Ohio received considerable damage.
DIED—In Philadelphia, on the night of Saturday the 4th inst. in the 79th year of his age, Mr. William Sellers. Printer, one of the editors of the Pennsylvania Gazette.—His remains were interred in Christ Church burial-ground on the following Monday, attended by
a large and respectable number of his friends and fellow-artisans. Of the deceased it may be truly said, that the mildness of his manners and inoffensiveness of his conduct, endeared him to all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance.
Extract of a letter from Thomas Cooper, Esq. of Northumberland, to James Woodhouse, Professor of Chemistry in the University of Pennsylvania, dated Feb. 16, 1804.
DEAR SIR, “Your old friend Doctor Priestly, died this morning without pain, at 11 o'clock. He would have been 71 had he lived to the 24th of next month. He continued composed, cheerful and good-tempered to the end. For some days he had been certain of his approaching fate.”
“P. S. Dr. P. desired his son to inform you that water imbibed 760 times its bulk of alkaline air.”
DUEL. We learn from South Carolina, that an affair of honour has been decided between the Hon. John Rutledge, late of congress, and Doct. Centre, of Rhode Island, recently from Europe. The Doctor fell the first fire, being shot thro' both legs above the knees. Mr. Rutledge was slightly wounded in the abdomen. Dr. Centre had one leg amputated, and died two days after.
The following is one of the articles selected from English Prints, received by the late arrival at Boston: It gives the lie to the aggravated accounts we have had, stating, that a serious misunderstanding existed between the English Government and the American Minister, at that Court. [American] “Much has been said in the Papers, for several days, of misunderstandings existing between the British and American Governments, respecting the interpretation of certain Articles of the Treaty of 1794. That Explanations on the subject has taken place, we know; but confidently state that no Misunderstanding whatever is likely to take place on the subject. No two Countries in the world, at this moment, feel a more natural inclination to remain at peace with each other, than Great Britain and America. In regard to the revision of the above Treaty: which is now on foot, we trust we shall very shortly be enabled to give the most satisfactory information.”
BALTIMORE, Feb. 1. An Awful Warning to Drunkenness! Among the numerous misfortunes arising from immoderate drinking, the following is a late and melancholy instance: On Tuesday last, about 4 o'clock in the evening, a young man, 22 years of age, (eight miles from Baltimore, and near the Hartford road) took his departure from one house intending to go to another; being over charged with liquor, he fell into the snow, where he lay till day-break the next morning, when he awoke, and with great difficulty made his way to a house, at which time, his hands (being froze) would rattle together like flint-stones; and being unable to free himself, he picked up his hat in his teeth and carried it to the house. I have traced his track about half a mile, and found his miserable birth, where it plainly appears, that he lay the whole time on his right side, without any appearance of movement, except a very little of his feet, having thawed the snow to the earth, under his body; likewise a hole opposite his mouth, by his breath, about the size of his hat crown; his hat being off, some of his hair remained frozen to the snow. He is now one of the most miserable objects that eyes ever beheld! with his hands, feet and legs nearly double their usual size, and mostly of a deep purple, with large watery blisters; his limbs at least are, and think his life, may justly be despaired of—and thus by an act of intemperance, Baltimore county may be deprived of one of the most active, stout and sprightly young men (as a laborer) it ever produced.—But how human nature could survive 13 or 14 hours on so cold a night, without movement, without a fire, without a great-coat, mittens, or even comfortable body-clothes, barefooted in snow 15 inches deep, is a subject of enquiry, contemplation, and wonder, for abler minds than that of
AN Actual Spectator. P. S. Since writing the above, I have attended at the dressing of this poor man; when the skin came off both hands, and all the nails of the right, except the thumb; his ankles, feet and nails, entirely black; after which they assumed the appearance of the crimson garden beet, when boiled and peeled.—Dreadful was the sight!

THE thorough bred and elegant HORSE, Flimnap,
NOW in high perfection, will stand the ensuing season at Capt. JACOB SPEARS's farm, in Bourbon county, on the road leading from Lexington, by Gen. Russell's to Limestone, and four miles from the place where he stood the last season, and will be let to mares at the moderate price of Twelve Dollars the season, payable by the 20th of December next, in the following articles of trade, (to wit,) good merchantable Hemp, Country Linen, Sugar, Salt, Beef-Cattle, to consist of Steers between the ages of 3 and 8 years, Pork, and Wheat at their market prices; or Ten Dollars in Cash, which may be discharged by the payment of Ten Dollars worth of good merchantable, well tested Whiskey, if delivered in good casks within the season, which will commence the first day of March, and end the first of August next.—Mares may be insured at Eighteen Dollars in Cash, or Twenty in any of the above mentioned trade.—Five Dollars in Cash, for the single leap, to be paid down. The wheat must be delivered in Brent's, Durbin's, Ogle's, or Ruddle's mills, and not sooner than the first of November next. The other trade at Capt. Spears's farm. Extensive and well enclosed pasturage, containing upwards of 200 acres, and equal to any in this state, will be furnished gratis, to such mares as come from a distance, and every possible attention paid them by Capt. Spears, to whose care the management of the horse is confided; but I will not be liable for accidents or diseases. Servants may be boarded, and mares fed with grain if required, on the most moderate terms. I shall not consider myself bound to take the above articles of trade if they are not punctually paid. It is expected that gentlemen sending mares from a distance, will send their notes with them. N. B. Any person putting four mares by the season, and paying punctually, shall have the season of one gratis.
FLIMNAP's form, activity, and high character as an excellent foal getter, together with his pedigree, which is descended from the most approved horse in England and Virginia, renders a pompous recommendation of him unnecessary.
FLIMNAP was bred by Col. Anthony Thornton, of Caroline county, Virginia; is rising nine years old, black and handsomely marked, full 15 hands 3 inches high, very lengthy, and well formed. He was got by the celebrated running horse Whistle Jacket, his dam by the old Aid-de-camp, his grand dam by Dandridge's Fearnought, a thorough bred son of Baylor's old Fearnought, his g. grand dam by old Janus, out of the dam of Col. Symm's old Wildair; she descended from old Jolly Roger, and Carter Braxton's Kitty Fisher. Diodeme, the fire of Whistle Jacket, supposed to be the best running horse in America, was a thorough bred son of Col. Fenwick's imported old Flimnap, which horse covered at 20 guineas a mare. From the dam, he was descended from the Duke of Ancester's Centinel, Brutus, and Beauty, a daughter of the Curran Barb mare. Whistle Jacket's dam, Lucy Locket, was got by Bell-Air, (bred by the late Col. John Tayloe of Mount Airy) a son of Moreton's Traveller and old Selima, her dam Matchless, by Othello, her grand dam young Cate, by Childers, her g. grand dam old Creeping Cate, by the Dancing-Master, her great, great grand dam, was the Spanish mare imported by Col. Armstead Churchill. Aid-de-camp, the fire of Flimnap's mother, was got by Specimen, out of Gen. Nelson's imported mare Blossom; Specimen was got by Baylor's old Fearnought: out of old Jenny Dilmal.
Gentlemen conversant with performances on the turf, will discover from the foregoing pedigree, that a very great proportion of Flimnap's ancestors in every direction, were as capital running horses as any in Virginia. I thought it necessary the last season, to publish a number of certificates from gentlemen of the utmost respectability in Virginia, to prove that Flimnap stood in the highest estimation there as a foal getter; but as he has a great number of colts now in this state, and his advertisement of an unusual size, it would be unnecessary and inconvenient, supposing that the appearance of his colts would be a more conclusive evidence of his superior foal getting, than any certificate which I could publish. M. LANGHORNE. Feb. 21, 1804.
Taken up by William Francis, living in Bourbon county, on Rockbridge, a Brown Mare Colt, supposed to be one year old, with a large star in her forehead, two white hind feet; appraised to 20 dollars. Dec. 27, 1803.

THE AMERICAN WARRIOR. WRITTEN BY A CAROLINIAN—ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN ENGLAND.
Virtus recludens immortali mori Celum, negata tentat Itervia Cernueque vulgares et adam Sperat humum fugiente Penna.
AT that dread hour when midnight shades the sky, And twinkling planets roll their orbs on high, The sad Garrandoc left his native home, Compell'd through drear Columbia's wilds to roam.
soon as these dreadful sounds assault mine ear, I wield the axe and brandish high my spear: To join the war my gallant men I call, And bid them conquer or as bravely fall.
Can this lone forest peace of mind bestow? Or ease a wretch whose life's surcharged with woe? Can I my nation and my griefs survive? No—honor, glory bid me cease to live!
But while the wanders spicy vallies o'er, I'll hunt the flag or route the mountain hoar: She glides before me on the gentle wind, And bids me haste to tarry long behind!
Trifles, light as air?
ONCE, said a quaker, in a dispute concerning the propriety of titles, I had the honor to be in company with an Excellency and an Highness—His Excellency was the most ignorant of his species, and his Highness measured just four feet eight inches without his shoes.

BROWN AND WEST'S PATENT WOODEN STILL. HAVE been in use for some time, in the vicinity of Lexington, and have received the most unequivocal approbation from more than two hundred Practical Distillers, whose certificates could be easily procured.

These stills work more than three times as fast as the common stills and require a very small quantity of fuel. Gentlemen, who are desirous of purchasing the Patent Right for states, counties or single distilleries, will please to apply to the Patentees in Lexington, Kentucky.
