Lexington, Dec. 7, 1805.
MADNESS.
AN effectual remedy on the human body, for that dreadful malady the bite of mad animals—it being the remedy that DR. STROY of Lebanon, of Pennsylvania, has effected so many cures with—A number of persons have been cured by DR. STROY and myself, that had violent symptoms of the hydrophobia, from one 'til two days raging. The cure can be effected as long as the constituent part of the blood is not separated; which will happen sooner or later, according to the state of body, or the effect of the bite. I would advise every person to make application as soon as the person has received the infection. No trust can be expected for the above.

FOR SALE,
18,000 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 grain. 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 salt 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 part will be sold, or a third. A clear and indisputable deed will be given. For terms apply to Mr. Wm. Lea's 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.

CHAP. III.
OF MR. LITTELL'S EPISTLE.
NOW there is on the North side of the land of Kentucky, an exceeding large and beautiful river;
2 But in the river over against the city of Louisville is an huge stone;
3 And it sometimes happeneth that when the ships of the merchantmen, go down that way they are dashed against this stone and broken in pieces;
4 And men blaspheme the Lord because of the stone, for it causeth many great calamities.
5 And it came to pass that when the people of the realm were increased in number, and had become strengthened, they bethought themselves of some device to remove this stone;
6 And some said we will go with hammers and axes and other instruments of iron, and will break it to pieces and roll it away;
7 Others said nay, but we will go with mallets and spades, and dig a great ditch quite around it; so shall the ships of the merchantmen pass through the ditch, and not be dashed in pieces:
8 But others said we are too weak to do this mighty work, let us therefore send messengers to the wise men and chiefs of the people of the great realms of Virginia and Pennsylvania, and beseech them to come and help us;
9 And this counsel pleased the chiefs, and all the people:—And Christopher sent messengers accordingly;
10 And the wise men and chiefs of those realms returned for answer, "that they would give a certain sum of money to whosoever would do this work."
11 Now some of the wise men of Kentucky said, "It is not convenient that all the people should labour in the work, let us therefore, give to certain rich men power and authority to make a ditch hard by the city of Louisville, on the south side of the river:
12 "And that these men may not lack a reward for their labour, let us make a decree that they shall be masters of the ditch:
13 "And it shall be so, that when they have dug it out, they shall let thereby and watch and whensoever a ship cometh that way, they shall cause the master thereof to pay a certain tribute."
14 And this counsel pleased all the wise men and chiefs of the people: S
they made proclamation through all the land, that the rich men might become masters of the ditch, and might dig it out and receive tribute therefrom;
15 But there came in those days from a far distant country, a certain great man whose name was Benjamin;
16 And he laid unto the people that it were better to dig a ditch on the north side of the river, in the realm of Indiana, than in the place which the wise men and chiefs of the people of the realm of Kentucky had chosen."
17 Moreover this man made proclamation that if the rich men would unite with him to dig a ditch on the north side, that the wise men and chiefs of the realm of Indiana, should make them masters of the ditch, and give tribute to be paid unto them;
18 He said, moreover, that he would ask the wise men and the chiefs of the great and mighty realm of America, to become their fellow labourers.
19 Now this pleased many of the rich men, and they clave unto Benjamin, and the chiefs and wise men of the realm of Indiana made them masters of the ditch on the north side, as Benjamin had said.
Howbeit a few clave unto the chiefs and wise men of Kentucky, and became masters of the ditch on the south side;
21 But they were forsaken and set at naught by the people, and they waxed weaker and weaker every day; but Benjamin and his brethren waxed every day stronger and stronger.
22 And when they saw that they were forsaken and set at naught, they were ashamed and sorely vexed, and they went straightway to the assembly of wise men and chiefs of the people, and rehearsed all these matters unto them;
23 Moreover they spake many bitter words against Benjamin and his brethren, for their souls were vexed.
24 And they said unto the wise men and chiefs of the people, "Lo! your servants are few in number, but the labour is great;
25 "We cannot do this mighty work ourselves, and we have not gold and silver wherewith we may hire men to do it;
26 "Suffer us therefore to gather together whatsoever rags the merchants of Lexington have left, and work them up into money, that we may therewith hire men servants and maid servants to help us."
27 Then said Henry, "the purpose of these men seemeth right in mine eyes, let them therefore do as they have said;"
28 But Felix was not willing that any man should make money out of rags, he therefore would not consent, and him did the chiefs obey, for his counsel was in those days as tho' a man had enquired of the Lord.
29 Then certain chiefs of the people of the north country rose up and said,
30 "Let us make a decree that Christopher the prince of the realm, shall be united to the masters of the ditch, and become as one of them;
31 "And that John, whose surname is Logan, shall pay out of the treasury of the realm, Fourscore Thousand Shekels of silver into the hands of the men who shall do this work;
32 "But that we may not be losers in this matter, lo! we will command Christopher to sit by the ditch and watch, and whensoever a ship cometh that way, he shall receive therefrom a piece of money for us and for the people.
33 "Moreover that we may not lack money for this purpose, behold the people of the South country are our debtors;
34 "We will therefore fall on these people and take away whatsoever money and food and raiment they have;
35 "Moreover we will turn them out of their houses, and we will take their heritage and sell it for money;
36 "And we will put this money into the hands of John, & he shall pay it unto Christopher and the other masters of the ditch, that they may have wherewithal to hire men servants and maid servants to help them dig it out."
37 And when the chiefs of the people of the south country heard this, they were filled with indignation; howbeit they held their peace and spake not.
38 So a decree was made that Christopher should become one of the masters of the ditch, and that John should pay out of the treasury of the realm, fourscore thousand shekels of silver, and the wise men assented thereto.
39 Then said certain of the chiefs "Go to, now, let us fall on the people of the south country and take away all their substance, that John may have wherewithal to pay this money."
40 Then all the chiefs of the people of the south country rose up as one man and said, "As the Lord liveth, ye shall not do this thing.
41 "The people of the south country are not your bond men and bond women, but they are your brethren, and if ye will have patience with them, they will pay ye whatsoever they owe ye;
42 "But if ye effay this thing, ye will make a great commotion, and the blood of many will be required at your hands.
43 "Howbeit these people will pay you a little money year by year as they
have hitherto done, and be ye therewith content until the Lord shall vouchsafe to lend them riches."
44 And these men prevailed, for their hearts were greatly set on this matter, inasmuch as they contended for their wives and their little ones, and all their substance.
45 And when the people of the north country saw that they could not devour the people of the south they were perplexed and confounded and will not what to do.
46 And they said, "We are surely in a great strait, for we have made a decree that John shall pay to these men fourscore thousand shekels, and lo! John hath not a single shekel wherewith to pay;
47 "The chiefs of the south will not suffer us to fall on the people of that country; and verily, we know not from whence this money will come."
48 Then some said, "Let us make a decree that all the people shall be taxed, and that this tax shall be put into the hands of John that he may have wherewithal to pay."
49 But others said, "We dare not do this thing, for if we do, the people will surely slay us;—Peradventure John may somewhere find fourscore thousand shekels of silver, and if he doth, he will pay it."
50 So they put an end to the matter by making a decree that at whatsoever time John should find fourscore thousand shekels of silver, he should pay it to the masters of the ditch.
JOURNAL
OF
DR. COWDERT
(Continued.)
Feb. 3.—Was conducted to the castle to visit the Balthaw, whom I found, after passing several centinels, about fifty fierce yelping dogs, and three heavy doors loaded with irons and bolts, which were opened for us by armed Mamelukes. Prefcribed for the Balthaw's disorder.
Feb. 6.—The Balthaw sent for me to come to his room in the castle. He shook hands with me, received me with much politeness, and requested me to pay every attention to his family as a Physician.
Feb. 10.—The Balthaw gave the officers permission to walk out into the town and country, but not to visit the consuls nor the batteries. Our drogman Hamet, was ordered to walk with us, and direct us where to go. We went out six at a time.
Feb. 16.—Prescribed for the Balthaw's eldest daughter. Her husband offered many civilities. At 5 o'clock, P. M. were informed that two English merchantmen were standing in for the harbor. They proved, however, to be the two vessels under the command of capt. Decatur. About 11 at night, we were alarmed by a most hideous yelling and screaming from one end of the town to the other, and a firing of cannon from the castle. On getting up and opening the window which faced the harbor, we saw the frigate Philadelphia in flames.
Feb. 17.—The Turks appeared much disheartened at the loss of their frigate. A strong guard was placed at our door, and we were forbid going out. I was forbid visiting our sick. It was reported that an American Schooner and three boats set fire to the ship. Two Turks escaped who told this news. They said that eight Turks had charge of the ship, and they supposed the other six were carried off by the Americans. Our drogman informed me that we were to be removed from our present situation into the castle.
Feb. 18.—A guard of about twenty Turks was at our door. I asked permission to visit our sick and was refused. A gloomy aspect continued on the faces of the inhabitants for the loss of the frigate.
Feb. 19.—Again asked permission to visit our sick, and was refused.
Feb. 20.—Permitted to visit the sick. Found the town full of country militia and our guard doubled.
Feb. 21.—Our prison was kept full of Turks to guard us. The Balthaw, having got a little over his fright, consented to let us remain where we were.
Feb. 24.—We are forbid sending letters to our friends, without first shewing them to the Balthaw or his minister. The last letters we received were broken open by the latter, before they were delivered to us.
March 1.—We were conducted to the castle.
March 2.—Found our habitation very dark and smoky, having no light but what came through a grated sky light.
March 3.—Not allowed to visit the sick, and our drogman was forbid carrying letters to us.
March 4.—Capt. Bainbridge received a letter from the ministers, reprimanding him on account of three men who floated ashore a few days after the burning of the frigate. The Turks pretended that they were murdered after they were made prisoners by the Americans.
March 6.—In close confinement. Hamet, our drogman, was taken from us. The Balthaw fulfilled him of being too friendly to us.
March 7.—The Tripolitans got the guns from the remains of our frigate, and mounted them on their batteries. In trying them several of the gun carriages broke down, and one of the guns burst and killed one Turk and wounded four.
March 14.—The Turks seemed much alarmed, and placed a strong guard at our door, for what reason we knew not.
March 16.—The Balthaw sent word that I should have any thing I wanted, free of expence.
March 17.—Ordered not to send our clothes out to wash.
March 24.—I was taken out of prison to visit a Mameluke's wife and child. The minister of foreign affairs paid us a visit and had many clever things.
March 16.—A truce was held between Commodore Preble and the Balthaw.
From the 28th March to the 15th April, I was violently afflicted with the dysentery, during which time the Balthaw expressed much anxiety, and offered me every assistance.
April 15.—We felt the Syroc wind, which was very oppressive.
April 24.—John Morrison died, in consequence of a hurt he received a few days before, while at work under the directions of his new masters. The Balthaw permitted me, with two of my fellow officers, to go to his garden, conducted by a guard of two Turks, armed with pistols and sabres. This precaution they pretended, was taken to prevent the wandering Arabs and Moors from robbing us; but it was probably done to prevent our escaping to the squadron, then cruising off the harbour, in sight.
May 7.—Our boys caught a large scorpion in the small yard of our prison.
May 14.—Our squadron appeared off the town. The Turks were at their quarters. They had twelve gun-boats armed manned, and moored out in the harbour.
May 16.—Ten of our officers took a walk to the gardens under escort of a guard. They returned with a variety of flowers and ripe apricots.
May 20.—A party of us, under escort of four Turks walked to the desert, about four miles from our prison. We ascended a large bank of sand where we had an extensive view of the country. The desert has a singular and grand appearance. They extend to Mount Atlas, which we could see, at a distance of two days journey. The sand is in heaps like snow drifts in our country. There was not a house nor any other object to be seen—not a thing growing to interrupt the sight; but it appeared like an ocean of sand. On our return we visited several gardens, where we got oranges, lemons, apricots and a variety of flowers. We were treated with the sap of the date which tasted very much like mead.
May 29.—A party of us, under escort as before, took a walk into the desert. On our return we dined in the Balthaw's garden, under the shade of orange trees. The dinner was prepared in the Turkish style, and we ate with wooden spoons—it was simple and good. We visited several gardens, and were treated with as much respect as could be expected or desired from a foe, who held us as prisoners of war. On returning to town we saw several of our brig at anchor off the harbour, seeming to defy all the force of Tripoli.
June 4.—We are plentifully supplied with squashes and cucumbers.
The Balthaw's eldest wife, called the queen was delivered of her ninth child on the 18th of June. She was twenty-three years of age. Her first child was born when she was in her eleventh year. It was said to be common to marry at ten.
June 27.—Mr Hodge our boatswain, Mr. Douglas, the sail-maker, and Mr. Fontain the first master's mate were taken from the prison and set to work by order of the Balthaw.

LEXINGTON, FEBRUARY 13.
THE Eastern Mail due yesterday, has not yet arrived. The quantity of rain which has fallen within a few days past, has probably made some of the watercourses impassable. By the last accounts from the City of Washington, it appeared, that Congress had been engaged for several days with closed doors.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at New-Orleans, to his friend in this place, dated 16th Jan. 1806.
"We are in considerable expectation of a war with Spain. The Governor has written a letter to Morales, the late Spanish Intendant, that agreeably to the treaty of cession, he expects that he will leave the territory as speedily as possible—and a similar communication, I believe, has been made to all known to be in the Spanish pay. A dispatch has been sent to Maj. Porter, who commands our troops at Natchitoches, covering a letter to the Marquis de Casa Calvo, who is now somewhere on the river Trinity, or the Saline, directing the Marquis not to return to the territory, and directing the Major to arrest him, in case he attempts to pass our limits."
Extract of a letter from General Adair to the Editor, dated Washington City, January 13th 1806.
"I have heretofore sent you several papers which I supposed you would wish to publish, but as I have received no letters from Kentucky by the mail, I conclude my letters and enclosures do not go to that country. The enclosed were received from the President on an application from the Senate, before whom a motion is still pending for leave to bring in a bill to put a stop altogether to the trade with the French part of the Island of St. Domingo. This motion, I expect, will be taken up to-morrow, it will be warmly opposed, and I cannot say what its fate will be—I think it probable the bill will pass, as I think it ought; and I cannot help wishing we had done so before we had received the imperious notes enclosed."
We have a report here that our differences with Spain are amicably adjusted—No official account has arrived. How far the report is to be relied on I cannot say, it however has considerable credit here.
Our most important business then will be with the British. The choice of measures that will be made by Congress to procure us justice from that court, is yet uncertain, and is a subject of importance indeed. We all agree that the British government are about to ruin our neutral commerce, but I have seen no one who would undertake to point out the measures by which we can counteract their designs or bring them to a sense of justice."

Wednesday, January 15.
On the question shall it be Resolved, That that part of the President's message which relates to the spoliation of our commerce on the high seas, and informs us of the new principles assumed by the British courts of Admiralty, as a pretext for the condemnation of our vessels in their prize courts, be referred to a special committee?
Determined in the affirmative—Yeas 25—Nays 3.
Committee—Messrs. Smith of Md. Mitchell, Anderson, Logan, Tracy, Adams and Baldwin.
On motion of Dr. Logan, the Senate resumed the consideration of his motion for leave to bring in a bill to prohibit the commercial intercourse between the U. States and the French Island of St. Domingo.
The question was taken by Yeas and Nays, without debate—Yeas 21 Nays 7.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Monday, December 30.
The bill from the Senate, to regulate the laying out and making a road from Cumberland, on the Potomac, to the river Ohio, in the state of Ohio, was read and referred to a committee of the whole on Thursday.
This bill authorizes the President of the U. S. to appoint three commissioners to lay out a road from Cumberland on the Potomac, to the river Ohio, in the state of Ohio, to be four rods in width. The commissioners are directed to make a report to the President of their proceedings, as well as the expense of making the road passable. The President is authorized to accept or reject the report in whole or part. If he shall accept it, he is then authorized to obtain the consent of the states through which the road may pass; and, having obtained such consent, to make a turnpike. Fifty thousand dollars are appropriated, payable first out of the proceeds of the reservation from the sale of lands in Ohio, and, secondly out of the treasury of the U. S. the last sum to be chargeable to the preceding fund.
Saturday, January 11.
The Speaker laid before the House a letter from the Secretary at War, exhibiting a statement of the number of fire arms, the property of the U. S. fit for use, designating the places where they are deposited; by which it appears, that exclusive of the arms in the hands of the troops in the service of the U. S. there are deposited in various places,
113,501 muskets with bayonets—3,666 rifles. 62 fuzils. 1,938 pair of pistols, and 938 carbines.
This communication was referred to the committee appointed on the arming of the militia.
Monday, January 13.
A message was received from the President of the U. S. by Mr. Coles, his Secretary, comprising a statement of the measures of the Executive, relative to obtaining the co-operation of the Ex-Bathaw of Tripoli against the reigning Bey, and the application of the Ex-Bathaw for compensation for services, rendered the U. S. accompanied by various elucidating documents.
Referred to a committee of seven members.
Highly Important.....If True.
BOSTON, JAN. 4.
We are indebted to Mr. Ezra Davis, of this town, for the following highly important, and very agreeable information. Mr. Davis left the Vineyard on Wednesday evening, the 1st inst. and says, that all our differences with the Spanish Government were amicably settled to Mr. Pinkney's entire satisfaction. This most pleasing intelligence was brought to the Vineyard by the ship Resolution, Capt. Daniel Rogers, of Gloucester, Cape Ann; who left Lisbon the 20th of November last, and arrived at the Vineyard after a passage of forty days. Mr. Davis took the precaution to make his minutes from the verbal communication of the Captain at the moment of his arrival. Capt. Rogers frequently saw Mr. Pinkney at Lisbon, who had failed five days before Capt. R. left that place, in a Swedish vessel, bound for Charleston, South Carolina. Mr. Pinkney told Capt. R. that the Spanish Court had agreed to pay for all ships, cargoes and freights, according to their late stipulations with the American Government. It is understood also, that all our territorial disputes with Spain, are happily settled; and that the general aspect of our diplomatic concerns in that quarter, were auspicious and flattering in a high degree. The vessel was bound to Gloucester, and the news cannot, therefore, be received from her, directly, for many days.
Capt. Rogers also acquainted Mr. Davis, that the Combined Fleets had lost but five ships in the late action off Cadiz—the other sixteen having drifted into the bay in the gale—and that the Spaniards were so impressed with this unexpected preservation of so many crippled vessels in that harbour, after the action, which they had despaired of ever seeing again, that they gave aloose to their joy, by a general illumination—as an event which they believed a Providential interference.
DEUS AFFLAVIT.
Capt. Rogers had dispatches on board for the Administration, which no doubt will be sent forward by express, as soon as they arrive at Cape Ann. Mr. Pinkney cannot be expected for some time, as the vessel he was on board, was a dull sailer. This paper will probably, therefore, convey the first intelligence to Washington, of this happy termination of our casual disputes with a friendly Government, whose true interests are interwoven with those of this country, and whose commercial prosperity must be our first and most sincere wish. We can only add, that we have taken the utmost pains to ascertain the above mentioned particulars, and have no doubt of their being substantially correct. (Boston Dem.)
FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE, Nov. 16.
Admiralty-Office, Nov. 16.
Copy of a letter from the Right Hon. Lord Collingwood, Vice-Admiral of the Red. &c. &c. to William Marsden, Esq. dated on board the Euryalus, off Cadiz, October 28, 1805. Sir—Since my letter to you of the 24th, stating the proceeding of his Majesty's squadron, our situation has been the most critical, and our employment the most arduous that ever a fleet was engaged in—On the 24th and 25th it blew a most violent gale of wind, which completely dispersed the ships, and drove the captured hulls in all directions.
I have since been employed in collecting and destroying them, where they are at anchor upon the coast between Cadiz and six leagues westward of San Lucar, without the prospect of saving one to bring into port.
I mentioned in my former letter the joining of the Donegal and Melpomene, after the action; I cannot sufficiently praise the activity of their commanders, in giving assistance to the squadron in destroying the enemy's ships.
The Defiance, after having stuck to the Aigle, as long as it was possible, in hope of saving her from wreck, which separated her for some time from the squadron, was obliged to abandon her to her fate, and she went on shore.
Capt. Durham's exertions have been very great.
I hope I shall get them all destroyed by to-morrow, if the weather keeps moderate.
In the gale the Royal Sovereign and Mars lost their foremasts, and are now rigging anew, where the body of the squadron is at anchor to the N. W. of San Lucar.
I find that on the return of Gravina to Cadiz, he was immediately ordered to sea again, and came out, which made it necessary for me to form a line, to cover the disabled hulls—that night it blew hard, and his ship, the Prince of Asturias, was disabled and returned into port; the Ray was also disabled, and fell into our hands; Don Enrique McDonell, had his broad pendant in the Royo, and from him I find the Santa Ana was driven near Cadiz, and towed in by a frigate. I am, &c. &c. &c. (Signed) C. COLLINGWOOD.

TINKER TOM.
LADIES, I'm a man of mettle, An honest tinker by my trade, I can quickly mend a kettle, Nay, I've sometimes kettles made: Long I sung, and liv'd in clover, 'Til I fell in Cupid's net, Now my jovial hours are over, Since I sigh for Brazen Bet.
Talk you may of courtly ladies, Patch'd and painted to the eyes, But with greater beauty made, is Bet, who never needs disguise; With an air none cease admiring, Curling locks as black as jet, Eyes with love each bosom firing, None can charm like Brazen Bet.
Love has wrought so much disorder, Such a hole made in my heart, That in spite of skill and solder, Baffles all a tinker's art — I'll away and tell my ditty, As a lover, hoping yet, I shall move the tender pity Of my charming Brazen Bet.
Should the dear angelic creature, Ne'er with frowns my hopes annoy, But with smiles of sweet good nature Hear her tinker's tale with joy, Then a fig for earthly treasure, When at Hymen's altar met, Love shall crown with lasting pleasure, Tinker Tom and Brazen Bet.
