MADNESS.
AN effectual remedy on the human body, for that dreadful malady the bite of mad animals—it being the remedy that Dr. Stoy of Lebanon, of Pennsylvania, has effected so many cures with—A number of persons have been cured by Dr. Stoy 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. Michael Schaaq. Lexington, March 18th, 1805.

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 stock 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 creek they can get five hundred pounds of fish in a day, and may get by a few five or seven hundred barrels per annum. Tobacco, flour, beef, pork, tallow, hogs' lard, hemp, cordage, whiskey, or cash, 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.

IMPORTANT.
LONDON, NOVEMBER 7.
To the official details of the destruction of the combined fleets, we are enabled to add some interesting particulars, which occurred before and during the action, and some circumstances relative to our immortal Nelson.—When Lord Nelson found that by his skillful manoeuvres, he had placed the enemy in such a situation, that they could not avoid an engagement, he displayed the utmost animation, and his usual confidence of victory; he said to Captain Hardy, and the other officers who surrounded him on the quarter-deck, "now they cannot escape us; I think we shall at least make sure of 20 of them. I shall probably lose a leg, but that will be purchasing a victory cheaply."—The Victory, his Lordship's ship, being lashed to the Santissima Trinidad, his Lordship was entirely exposed, as well to the fire of the cannon, as the musketry from the tops, from which a constant fire was kept up. He wore the insignia of the Bath, of the Crescent, and of the other Orders, the honorable rewards of the glorious exploits which he had achieved. So splendid a mark, could not fail to attract the notice of the enemy, and Captain Hardy, alarmed for his safety, repeatedly entreated him, from the commencement of the action, to change his coat; but his mind was too much occupied with the scene, to think of personal danger. About the middle of the action, his Lordship's Secretary was killed at his side; and shortly after, a musket ball, fired from the tops of the Santissima Trinidad, grazed his Lordship's shoulder, and entering his left breast, passed through his lungs. The Hero instantly fell. He was immediately carried below, and the surgeon pronounced the wound mortal. His Lordship lived about an hour, during the whole of which time, he remained perfectly collected, and displayed the same heroic magnanimity in the arms of death, that had marked his conduct in every action of his glorious life! A few minutes before he expired, he ordered Captain Hardy to be called to him; when the Captain came, he asked how many of the enemy's ships had struck? The Captain answered, that as nearly as he could ascertain, fifteen sail of the line had struck their colours. His Lordship then, with that fervent piety, which as strongly marked his character, as skill and courage, returned thanks to the Almighty; then turning to Captain Hardy, he said, "I know I am dying. I could have wished to survive, to breathe my last upon British ground; but the will of God be done." in a few moments he expired!!! The last signal Lord Nelson made, was such as cannot, and never will be forgot—it was by telegraphe—"That England expected that every man would do his duty."
Thus died, in the 48th year of his age, the greatest commander that ever adorned the British Navy, leaving behind him— clarum et venerabile nomen gentibus , name dear to Great Britain, and an example of heroism, that will inspire his gallant companions in arms, to emulate his virtues, and live in the remembrance of a grateful posterity.
It may excite some surprise, that the combined fleet, though so much superior in number, should venture to meet a fleet commanded by Lord Nelson, from whom, they had fled over one half of the globe, panic struck at his name, when he had only eleven sail of the line. We understand that the scarcity of provisions, rendered it impossible for them to stay much longer in Cadiz. Orders were given to Villeneuve, that he must risk an action, should he perceive any material diminution of the English fleet. From a private letter, transmitted some time ago, from his Lordship, it appeared that he had intelligence of these orders, and formed his plan accordingly. When his Lordship dispatched Admiral Louis, in the beginning of last month, for provision and water to Tetuan, with seven sail of the line and some frigates, he expected of course, that the French Admiral would come out to give him battle. He then communicated his plan of attack to all his Captains, who answered unanimously, that the plan was so wisely concerted, it must succeed; and they would all pledge their lives for the result. His Lordship, on receiving this answer, declared it was one of the happiest circumstances of his life.
The number of killed and wounded, will probably prove to be above 1000. The Victory is said to have lost 150 men.
LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1805. Admiralty Office, Nov. 6.
Dispatches, of which the following are copies, were received at the Admiralty this day, at one o'clock A. M. from Vice Admiral Collingwood, commander in chief of his Majesty's ships and vessels off Cadiz.
EYUALUS, OFF CAPE TRAFALGAR, OCTOBER 22.
SIR—The ever to be lamented death of Vice Admiral Lord Viscount Nelson, who, in the late conflict with the enemy, fell in the hour of victory, leaves to me the duty of informing my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that on the 19th instant, it was communicated to the commander in chief, from the ships watching the motions of the enemy in Cadiz, that the combined fleet had put to sea; as they sailed with light winds Westwardly, his Lordship concluded their destination was the Mediterranean, and immediately made all sail for the Strait's entrance, with the British Squadron, consisting of 27 ships, three of them sixty-fours, where his Lordship was informed by Captain Blackwood, (whose vigilance in watching, and giving notice of the enemy's movements, has been highly meritorious) that they had not yet passed the Straights.
On Monday, the 21st instant, at day-light, when Cape Trafalgar bore E. by S. about 7 leagues, the enemy was discovered 6 or 7 leagues to the Eastward, the wind about West, and very light; the commander in chief immediately made the signal for the fleet to bear up in two columns, as they formed in order of sailing, a mode of attack his Lordship had previously directed, to avoid the inconvenience and delay of forming a line of battle in the usual manner. The enemy's line consisted of thirty-three ships, (of which, eighteen were French and fifteen Spanish,) commanded by Admiral Villeneuve, the Spaniards under the direction of Gravina, were with their heads to the Northward, and formed their line of battle with great closeness and correctness; but as the mode of attack was unusual, so the structure of their line was new; it formed a crescent, conveying to leeward; so that in leading down to their centre, I had both their van and rear abaft the beam; before the fire opened, every alternate ship was about a cable's length to windward of her second ahead and astern, forming a kind of double line, and appeared, when on their beam, to have a very little interval between them; and this without crowding their ships.
Admiral Villeneuve was in the Bucentaur, in the centre, and the Prince of Asturias bore Gravina's flag in the rear; but the French and Spanish ships were mixed, without any apparent regard to order of national squadron.
As the mode of our attack had been previously determined on, and communicated to the flag-officers and Captains, few signals were necessary, and none were made, except to direct close order as the lines bore down.
The commander in chief in the Victory, led the weather column, and the Royal Sovereign, which bore my flag, the lee.
The action began at 12 o'clock, by the leading ships of the columns breaking the enemy's line, the commander in chief about the tenth ship from the van, the second in command about the twelfth from the rear, leaving the van of the enemy unoccupied; the succeeding ships breaking through in all parts, alternately of their leaders, and engaging the enemy at the muzzles of their guns; the conflict was severe; the enemy's ships were fought with a gallantry highly honorable to their officers; but the attack on them was irresistible; and it pleased the Almighty, disposer of all events to grant his Majesty's arms a complete and glorious victory. About 3 P. M. many of the enemy's ships having struck their colors, their line gave way; Admiral Gravina, with ten ships, joining their frigates to leeward, stood towards Cadiz. The five headmost ships in their van tacked, and standing to the Southward, to windward of the British line, were engaged, and the sternmost of them taken; the others went off, leaving to his Majesty's Squadron, nineteen ships of the line, (of which two are first rates, the Santissima Trinidad, and the Santa Anna,) with three flag-officers, viz. Admiral Villeneuve, (the commander in chief,) Don Ignacio Maria D'Alava,
Vice Admiral, and the Spanish Rear Admiral, Don Baltazar Hidalgo Cisneros.
After such a victory, it may appear unnecessary to enter into encomiums on the particular parts taken by the several commanders: the conclusion lays more on the subject than I have language to express; the spirit which animated all was the same; when all exert themselves zealously in their country's service, all deserve that their high merits should stand recorded; and never was high merit more conspicuous, than in the battle I have described.
The Achille, (a French 74,) after having surrendered by some mismanagement of the Frenchmen, took fire, and blew up—two hundred of her men were saved by the tenders.
A circumstance occurred during the action, which so strongly marks the invincible spirit of British seamen, when engaging the enemies of their country, that I have made it known to their Lordships—the Temeraire was boarded, by accident or design, by a French ship on one side, and a Spaniard on the other; the contest was vigorous, but in the end, the combined ensigns were torn from the poop, and the British hoisted in their place.
Such a battle could not be fought without sustaining a great loss of men. I have not only to lament, in common with the British Navy, and the British nation, in the fall of the commander in chief, the loss of a Hero, whose name will be immortal, and his memory ever dear to his country; but my heart is rent with the most poignant grief for the death of a friend, to whom, by many years intimacy, and a perfect knowledge of the virtues of his mind, which inspired ideas superior to the common race of men, I was bound by the strongest ties of affection; a grief, to which even the glorious occasion in which he fell, does not bring the consolation which perhaps it ought; his Lordship received a musket ball in his left breast, about the middle of the action, and sent an officer to me immediately, with his last farewell, and soon after expired.
I have also to lament the loss of those excellent officers, Captain Duff of the Mars, and Cooke of the Bellerophon; I have yet heard of none others.
I fear the number that have fallen, will be found very great, when the returns come to me; but it having blown a gale of wind ever since the action, I have not yet had it in my power to collect any reports from the ships.
The Royal Sovereign having lost her masts, except the tottering foremast, I called the Euryalus to me, while the action continued, which ship lying within hail, made my signals; a service Captain Blackwood performed with great attention. After the action, I shifted my flag to her, that I might more easily communicate my orders to, and collect the ships, and towed the Royal Sovereign out to leeward. The whole fleet were now in a very perilous situation, many dismasted, all shattered, in thirteen fathoms water, on the shoals of Trafalgar; and when I made the signal to prepare to anchor, few of the ships had an anchor to let go, their cables being shot; but the same good Providence which aided us through such a day, preserved us in the night, by the wind shifting a few points, and drifting the ships off the land, except four of the captured dismasted ships, which are now at anchor off Trafalgar, and I hope will all ride safe, until these gales shall be over.
Having thus detailed the proceedings of the fleet on this occasion, I beg to congratulate their Lordships on a victory, which I hope, will add a ray to the glory of his Majesty's crown, and be attended with public benefit to our country.
I am Sir, (Signed) C. COLLINGWOOD. WM. MARSDEN, ESQ.
Euryalus, October, 25.
SIR—In my letter of the 22d. I detailed to you for the information of my lords commissioners of the Admiralty the proceedings of his Majesty's Squadron on the day of the action and that proceeding it—since which I have had a continued series of misfortunes, but they are of a kind that human prudence could not possibly provide against, or my skill prevent.
On the 24th in the morning, a strong southerly wind blew, with squally weather, which however did not prevent the activity of the officers and seamen of such ships as were manageable from getting hold of many of the prizes
(thirteen or fourteen) and towing them off to the westward, when I ordered them to rendezvous round the royal Sovereign, in tow of the Neptune, but, on the 23d the gale increased, and the sea ran so high, that many of them broke the tow ropes, and drifted far to leeward, before they were got hold of again, and some of them taking advantage in the dark and boisterous night, got before the wind, and have perhaps drifted upon the shore and sunk. On the afternoon of that day, the remnant of the combined fleet, ten sail of ships, who had not been much engaged, stood up to leeward of my shattered and fragmented charge, as if meaning to attack them, which obliged me to collect a force out of the least injured ships and form to leeward for their defence—all this retarded the progress of the hulks, and the bad weather continuing, determined me to destroy all the leewardmost that could be cleared of the men considering that keeping possession of the ships was a matter of little consequence, compared with the chance of their falling into hands of the enemy, but even this was an arduous task in the high sea which was running. I hope, however, it has been accomplished in a considerable extent; I entrusted it to skillful officers, who would spare no pains to execute what was possible. The captains of the Prince and Neptune, cleared the Trinidad and sunk her.
Captains Hope, Baynton and Malcolm, who joined the fleet this moment from Gibraltar, had the charge of destroying four others. The Redoubtable took fire of the Swiftsure, while in tow. The Santa Anna, I have no doubt, has sunk, as her side was almost entirely beaten in, and such is the shattered condition of the whole of them, that unless the weather moderates, I doubt whether I shall be able to carry a ship of them into port. I hope their Lordships will approve of what I (having only in consideration the destruction of the enemy's fleet) have thought a measure of absolute necessity.
I have taken admiral Villeneuve into this ship; vice admiral Don Alava is dead. Whenever the tempest of the weather will permit, and I can spare a frigate, (for there were only four in the action, with the fleet, Euryalus, Sirius, Pheobe and Naïad; the Melpomene joined the 22d, and the Eurydice and Scout the 23d,) I shall collect the other flag-officers with their flags, and send them to England, if they do not all go to the bottom, to be laid at his Majesty's feet.
There were four thousand troops embarked under the command of General Contamin, who was taken with admiral Villeneuve in the Bucentaur.

PARIS, 24 Vendemaire, (Oct. 16.) Third official Bulletin of the Grand Army. Zofmerhausen, 18 Vendemaire.
Marshal Soult pursued the Austrian division, which took refuge at Aicha, he continued the pursuit, and entering Augsburg, at mid day on the 17th, with the divisions Vandamme, St. Hilaire, and Legrand.
Marshal Davoust with his three divisions arrived on the 17th in the evening, having passed the Danube at Neubourg. Gen. Marmont with the divisions Baudent, Grouchy, and the Batavian division under gen. Dumonceau, passed the Danube and took their position between Aicha and Augsburg.
The division of the army under marshal Bernadotte, with the Bavarian army, commanded by generals Deroi and Verden, took position at Ingolstadt, the imperial guard, under marshal Belliers, rendezvoused at Augsburg, as also the division of Cuirassiers under general D'Hauptoul.
Prince Murat, with the divisions of dragoons of Klein and Beaumont, and the division of carabineers and cuirassiers under gen. Nanfouy, is very active in intercepting the communication between Ulm and Augsburg.
Marshal Lannes with the divisions of grenadiers of Oudinot, and with the division Suchet, took post on the same day at Zofmerhausen.
The emperor reviewed the dragoons at Zofmerhausen; a dragoon named Maerente, was presented to him; this dragoon was one of the brave soldiers, who saved his captain's life at the passage of the Lech; this captain, a few days before, had him cashiered. His majesty gave him the eagle of the legion of honor, this brave soldier replied, "I have only done my duty, my captain disgraced me for some fault of discipline, but he knows that I have always been a good soldier."
The emperor tendered his thanks to the dragoons for their brave conduct in the battle of Wittingen, another dragoon was presented to him, the emperor also gave the eagle of the legion of honor. His majesty rendered his thanks to the grenadiers of the division of Oudinot. There never was a handsomer troop, more animated with a desire to singularize themselves, more honorable, and fired by military enthusiasm, which forebodes the greatest success.
We now give a detail of the battle of Wittingen.
Col. Arrighi, with his regiment of dragoons, charged the regiment of cuirassiers commanded by duke Albert; the onset was very warm. Col. Arrighi, had his horse killed under him; his regiments redoubled their efforts to save him. Col. Beaumont of the 10th of the hussars, animated with a spirit truly French, seized, in the midst of the enemy, a captain of Cuirassiers, whom he captured after cutting down a horseman.
Col. Marpette, at the head of the 9th of dragoons, was mortally wounded in a charge made in the village of Wittingen, his last words were, "tell the emperor that the 9th dragoons are worthy of their reputation, and that he charged and conquered amidst the cries of 'long live the emperor.'"
A column of grenadiers, the flower of the enemy's army, was drawn up in squares of 4 battalions; we broke thro' and cut all to pieces. The 12th battalion made a charge in the woods.
The division of Oudinot burned with a military ardour to be in the battle, but at their approach the Austrians redoubled their retreat.
All the cannons, colors, most of the officers of the enemy's army that was in the battle at Wittingen, have been taken; a great number have been killed; a lieutenant colonel, 6 majors, 60 officers, 4000 soldiers, remain in our possession; the rest have been dispersed and escaped into a morass, which stopped a column of our army that were pursuing the enemy.
The chief of h. h. Excellmans, and aide-de-camp to prince Murat, had two horses killed under him. It was he who brought the standard to the emperor, who said to him, "I know none more brave than you, I make you an officer of the legion of honor."
Marshal Ney, on his part with the divisions Malher, Dupont and Loison, the division of dragoons on foot, under gen. Baraguey, Hilliers and the division Gazen ascended the Danube and attacked the enemy, and it is now five hours since we hear the cannon.
It rains incessantly, but this does not retard in the least the forced marches of the grand army. The emperor shews the example: on horseback day and night, he is always amidst his troops, and at every point where his presence is necessary. He travelled yesterday fourteen leagues. He sleeps in small villages without any domestics or any kind of baggage. At present the bishop of Augsburg has caused his palace to be illuminated, and attended his majesty a part of the night.
25th Vendemaire, Oct. 17. Fourth official bulletin of the Grand Army. Augsburg, 19 Vendemaire, Oct. 11.
The battle of Wittingen was succeeded in 24 hours by that of Gunzburg, marshal Ney marched with the army under his command, as also with the division Loison, under Langenau, and the division Mather under Gunzburg. The enemy endeavoured to oppose them but were routed on every side. It was in vain that prince Ferdinand appeared in person to defend Gunzburg. General Mather was attacked by the 5th regiment, the combat became obstinate— corps to corps. Col. Lacue was killed at the head of his regiment, who notwithstanding the most vigorous resistance, carried the bridge by great force, the cannon which defended it were taken with difficulty, and the advantageous situation of Gunzburg remained in our possession. Three attacks of the enemy were ineffectual, and they afterwards retired with precipitation; the reserve under prince Murat arrived at Burgau, and pursued the enemy during the night and made a great slaughter.
The conscripts have shewed as much bravery and military conduct, as the old soldiers. When a battle commences, they lose the name of conscripts, all aspire to that of soldiers. The weather continues very bad; it still continues to rain very hard, but notwithstanding the army is in good health.
The enemy lost 2500 men in the battle of Gunzburg, we have taken 1200 prisoners and 6 pieces of cannon. Our loss is about 400 men, either wounded or dead; major-gen. Alpire is among the prisoners.
The emperor arrived at Augsburg on the 18th, at 9 o'clock in the evening, the town had been occupied near two hours before.
The communication of the enemy between Augsburg and Landshut is broken. Prince Murat with the divisions under Marshals Ney and Lannes is on pursuit of the enemy. Ten regiments of the Austrian army in Italy, left it, and came by post to Tyrol; many of them have been taken. Some Russian troops, who were also travelling by post, advanced towards Inn, but the advantage of our position is such that we are able to give battle to them all.
The emperor lodges in Augsburg at the house of the ancient elector of Treves, who has treated him and his suite with the greatest hospitality and magnificence.
The circumstantial account of the battle cannot be given under a few days, at which time, the names of those officers who signified themselves will be made known.
The emperor passed all the night of the 17th and 18th, and a part of the day of the 18th, between the divisions under marshals Ney and Lannes.
The activity, understanding, and complicated combinations of the French army, which are entirely unknown to the enemy, has entirely disconcerted them at every point.
Oct. 19.
The cannon has been firing all the morning to announce the victory obtained by the Grand army at Gunzburg.
Report say that the army has entered Ulm.
Letter of the emperor and king to the Prefect and mayor of the city of Paris. Gentlemen, the Prefect and mayor of our good city of Paris.
Our troops have had an engagement with the Austrians, near Wittingen, defeated 12 battalions—all their artillery is taken, also a great number of prisoners, and eight standards. We have resolved to make a present of the colours to our good city of Paris and two pieces of cannon to be placed at the hotel de ville. We desire, that our good

city of Paris will recognize in this affair our affection for her, which will be to much the more dear to her, as it is her governor who commanded our troops in the engagement of Weitingen. This letter having no other object, we pray God to have you in his holy keeping. At the imperial head quarters at Augsburg, 18 Vendemeire (10th Oct.) 1805. (Signed) NAPOLEON.
FIFTH BULLETIN. Augsburg, 20th Vendemeire, (Oct. 21.)
Marshal Soult marched forward with his army to Landshut, by which means he succeeded in cutting off one of the grand communications of the enemy; he arrived there on the 19th at 4 in the afternoon, and met the regiment of prince Ferdinand's cuirassiers, which with six pieces of artillery, was repairing by forced marches to Ulm. Marshal Soult made a charge with the 16th regiment of light horse, disconcerted it to that degree, and the 26th light horse was animated with such ardor, that the cuirassiers fled, leaving 120 soldiers prisoners, 1 lieutenant colonel, 2 captains and 2 pieces of artillery. Marshal Soult who had imagined they would continue their road to Memmingen, sent several regiments to cut off their retreat; but they had retired into the wood, where they rallied in order to take refuge in Tyrol.
Twenty pieces of artillery and all the enemy's materials for building a bridge of boats passed through Landshut on the 19th. Marshal Soult sent gen. Sebastiani to pursue them with a brigade of dragons. Hopes are entertained that he will be able to come up with them. On the 20th marshal Soult directed his march to Memmingen, where he will arrive at day break.
Marshal Bernadotte marched all day on the 19th; his advanced guard came up within two leagues of Munich. The baggage of several Austrian generals fell into the power of his light troops. He made a hundred prisoners belonging to different regiments.
Marshal Davoust marched on to Dachau. His advanced guard is arrived at Moich. The Blankenstein hussars were thrown into disorder by his light horse, and in different skirmishes he made 60 horsemen prisoners.
Prince Murat, with the reserve of cavalry and the detachment of marshals Ney and Lannes, having taken post opposite the enemy's army, the left of which occupies Ulm and the right Memmingen.
Marshal Ney is on horseback on the Danube, opposite Ulm.
Marshal Lannes is at Weissenhorn. General Marmont is making forced marches in order to take up a position on the heights of Illerheim; and marshal Soult faces the enemies right at Memmingen.
The imperial guards have set off from Augsburg to repair to Bregenz where the emperor will probably be to-night.
A decisive engagement is about taking place. The Austrian army has nearly all its communications cut off. It is nearly in the same situation as the army of Melas at Marengo.
The emperor was on the bridge of the Lech when the detachment under the orders of gen. Marmont defiled. He formed each regiment in column, spoke to them of the enemy's situation, of the immensity of a great battle, and of the confidence he had in them. This harangue was delivered in most admirable weather. It showed abundantly, the troops were up to their knees in dirt and felt great cold; but the emperor's words acted as flame; whilst hearing him the soldier forgot his fatigues and privations, and grew impatient for the hour of battle.
Marshal Bernadotte arrived at Munich on the 20th at 6 in the morning; he has made 800 prisoners and is gone in pursuit of the enemy. Prince Ferdinand was at Munich. It appears that the prince had abandoned his army on the Iller.
Never will so many events be decided in less time. Before a fortnight, the destinies of the campaign and of the Austrian and Russian armies will be fixed.

LEXINGTON, JANUARY 9. MARRIED—On Tuesday the 24th ult. Mr. JOEL SCOTT, of Scott county, to Miss. REBECCA WILMOT, of Bourbon county. THE important European intelligence contained in this day's Gazette, was received, in part, on Tuesday last, and immediately presented to our readers in a Gazette extra. By the mail of yesterday, we received a Philadelphia paper, one day later than that from which we made those extracts; but its contents were principally anticipated by the paper received from our friend—one article however, of some importance if true, is, that after the battle at Ulm, the Austrian Emperor had applied for a cessation of hostilities, and that Bonaparte had answered that he would consent to a cessation, on condition of the Emperor of Germany sending back the Russians, renouncing his alliance with England, and placing Venice and the Tyrolese in the hands of the Emperor of the French. We received by the mail but one paper from the City of Washington, which was principally filled with the Documents accompanying the President's message, relative to our differences with Spain. [It is probable the late British naval victory over the French and Spanish, will have a tendency favorable to the United States.] On Wednesday the 18th December, in the Senate of the United States, Mr. Logan gave notice, that he should on to-morrow, ask leave to bring in a bill to suspend the commercial intercourse, between the United States and the French Island of St. Domingo. The news of Bonaparte's having taken and killed 40,000 of the Austrians, and of the surrender of Ulm, is confirmed. The official details are received. Prussia has joined the coalition against France, and a junction has been formed between the Russians and Prussians. The latter power is marching her armies to Franconia, to the banks of the Rhine, and to the borders of the Batavian Republic. Three armies, amounting in the whole to 150,000 men, are actually on their march for these different points. General Kienmayer, with 23,000 men, has effected a junction with 45,000 Russians, near Banau. The army of Italy, under Malfena, passed the Adige on the 18th of October, after an action, in which the Austrians had 1500 killed and as many taken prisoners. The report of Malfena's defeat by the Archduke Charles, was received in London by way of Catolica, and rested on no official authority. Highly Important—If True! The following interesting intelligence (says the Commercial Advertiser of last evening) we have received from a respectable gentleman, who arrived here on Saturday evening, in 41 days from Bordeaux. The day before this gentleman failed, private letters from Paris were received at Bordeaux, announcing that (a few days subsequent to the capitulation of Ulm) and the capture of gen. Mack and his troops) the Russian army, having proceeded by forced marches, came up with the columns under the command of prince Murat and marshal Bernadotte—that a severe action ensued—that Murat and Bernadotte were both killed; several general officers either killed, or severely wounded, or taken prisoners; and the whole of the French troops defeated with much slaughter. Such was the information received at Bordeaux, and believed by the best informed gentlemen of that place. LONDON, October 29. GENERAL BATTLE—SURRENDER OF ULM. It is with sensations of the deepest regret we are obliged to believe, that the rumours in the French Papers, of the defeat of the Austrians, are but too well founded—no French papers, however, of a later date than the 22d, have been received, nor has any official confirmation yet arrived. Our readers were informed in yesterday's Courier, that there were on Saturday great rejoicings at Boulogne. We argued unfavorably from that circumstance, for we knew from the experience of the last war, that these rejoicings never take place but for some great success. Early on Sunday morning a cutter was sent out of the inner harbor of Boulogne, which when nearly within gunshot of the Immortal Frigate, launched a boat, set her adrift, and returned herself to port. The boat was taken up by the frigate, and on board of her was found a small parcel, in which was the following Bulletin—"ULM HAS SURRENDERED TO THE FRENCH ARMS, & THE AUSTRIAN ARMY IS ANNIHILATED." A private letter from Holland, dated last Saturday, arrived in town last night. It states that the general battle was fought last Saturday week, the 19th inst.—that it was most obstinate and bloody, and that the Austrians made a long and vigorous resistance—the battle lasted the greater part of the day—victory, however, at length decided in favor of the French—and the Austrians were completely defeated—the whole line of the Iller was forced—Ulm and its magazines, cannon and baggage taken—and General Mack, with the whole of his staff made prisoners. The loss in killed or wounded, by the letter, was immense.
on the side of the Austrians—it was immense too, no doubt, on the part of the French. None of the names of the killed and wounded officers have yet transpired, but the letter adds, that those who survived the battle were captured or dispersed; the whole of the Austrian army is represented as being nearly destroyed; not a village of what might be deemed one efficient corps remained; those who escaped the sword or the chains of the enemy, all who were not among the number of the killed, wounded, or prisoners, were broken into puny detachments, and scattered in various directions. A letter received by a gentleman in Norfolk from his correspondent in Lisbon dated the 19th September, states, that advices had been that day received from Madrid, of much importance, the particulars of which had not transpired. It is however affirmed that the enemies of the Queen and Prince of Peace, had proceeded to oppose them by violence. That the Spanish troops in the interest of, and favoring the party of the Prince of Asturias, had fallen upon the Swiss guards of the Prince of Peace, and had killed the greater part of them. The letter stated further, that in the best informed circles it is confidently believed that a complete revolution in the politics of Spain was effected. Ledger. Bonaparte's force in Germany is immense. It cannot consist at present, including the Bavarian and Wirtemberg troops, of less than 160,000. If the French details are correct a more decisive or brilliant campaign is not to be found in the annals of ancient or modern warfare. We tremble for the final results, and must in the mean time, fashion our minds to hear of new successes on the part of the enemy. From Italy we have at length official accounts. They mention some important advantages gained over the Archduke Charles by Malfena.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE PALLADIUM. SIR: I HAVE read in your paper of yesterday, Mr. Brown's explanations respecting the part which he has taken in the Indiana Canal Company. The observations submitted by me a few days past in the Palladium, to the public, in answer to a publication signed "A Yankee," were predicated on information coming from Genl. Hovey, Dr. Stephens, and others, as well as on the structures of that writer. From that I was justified in believing, that Mr. Brown was one of Genl. Hovey's associates, at the time he was appointed a member of the committee to whom was referred the General's memorial. This fact is denied by Mr. Brown, and he charges me with having grossly calumniated him, and that too without any accompanying evidence. But as Mr. Brown has made use of Genl. Hovey as a witness, I certainly have the same right, and pledge myself to the public, if required, to prove satisfactorily, not only from statements made by the General and Dr. Stephens, but others, that I was justified in believing the opinion expressed to be correct. But if these men have misrepresented and injured Mr. Brown, it is them who have been calumnious, and not me; but I forbear any further observations on this point. I had also believed that committees were appointed in the Senate of the United States, in the way as usually practiced in other Legislative bodies; but in this, I am satisfied I was mistaken. I therefore take pleasure in correcting that error. In my reply to the "Yankee," I felt no disposition wantonly to assail the feelings of Mr. Brown, I considered that writer, as I am sure every candid and impartial man must do, the friend and advocate of that Gentleman. My remarks necessarily grew out of his. I was unwilling to believe that Mr. Brown's conduct had been exceptional, and was anxious he should have an opportunity to explain himself. These explanations are now before the public, they will judge of them. I have been told too, that an inference has been drawn from some part of my observations, not in my opinion warranted by my expressions, but which at all events, it was not my intention they should bear—that is—that Mr. Brown's failure in a re-election to the Senate, was occasioned by a withdrawal of the public confidence, occasioned by the part he had taken in the canal scheme, on the Indiana side. This subject at that time, was unknown, and consequently could have had no influence on that election. A KENTUCKIAN. December 24th, 1805.
The Printers who have published the Kentuckian and Mr. Brown's explanations, are requested to give this a place in their paper.

Who climb'd with me the mountain's height, And watch'd my look of dread delight, While rose the glorious orb of light? My Father.
Who from each flower and verdant stalk, Gather'd a honey'd store of talk, To fill the long delightful walk? My Father.
Not on an insect would he tread, Nor strike the stinging insect dead— Who taught at once my heart and head? My Father.

Who smil'd at my supreme desire, To see "the curling smoke" aspire, From Ithaca's domestic fire? My Father.
Upon the raft amidst the foam, Who with Ulysses saw me roam, His head still raised to look for home? My Father.
"What made a barren rock so dear!" "My Boy! he had a country there." And who, then, dropt a prescient tear? My Father.
Who, now, in pale and placid light Of memory, gleams upon my sight, Bursting the sepulchre of night? My Father.
O teach me still thy christian plan, Thy practice with thy precept ran— Nor yet desert me—now a man. My Father.
Still let thy scholar's heart rejoice, With charm of thy angelic voice— Still prompt the motive and the choice, My Father.
For yet remains a little space, Till I shall meet thee face to face, And not as now, in vain embrace. My Father.

WOODFORD ACADEMY. THE trustees of this seminary inform the public, that having met at Woodford Court-house, on Saturday the 21st December, in order to arrange the necessary business of the institution; they elected Mr. John Wood president of the Academy, and adopted the following plan of tuition to be pur- sued in future. The branches of Education taught at the Academy of Woodford, to consist of the follow- ing: 1. English writing, and the common rules of arithmetic. 2. The Greek, Latin and French languages. 3. Mathematics and natural philosophy. The 1st, together with the junior classes of the 2d, will be under the charge of proper as- sistants to be elected, when the students are sufficiently numerous to require that aid. In the 2d branch, the method pursued, will vary a little from that at present practised in other schools and seminaries. It is particular- ly recommended that youth should begin the Latin language at the age of six, or so soon as they are acquainted with the English alphabet, and the syllables of words, and to continue its study for six or eight years. The authors con- templated to be read after the rudiments, Cor- denius, and Cæsar, are principally the poets, Ovid, Virgil, Horace, Terence, Lucretius, Ti- bullus and Juvenal. The practice of commit- ting to memory select odes and passages; of scanning; and composing Latin verses, will be early and frequently attended to. The Greek language will be commenced in the fourth year of the Latin, and the authors to be read; Anacreon, Homer, Aristophanes and Sophocles. The French will be taught towards the close of the studies of the Latin and Greek, imme- diately previous to the commencement of the mathematics. In studying the mathematics, a full know- ledge of Euclid, plane and spherical trigonome- try, the elements of algebra, fluxions, and the conic sections, is recommended previous to the acquisition of any of the branches of natural philosophy; as they are intended to be taught principally by the medium of geometry and algebra. The general art of design, or of drawing and painting, will be occasionally practiced as an amusement, and to relieve the mind from sever- er studies. The knowledge of all religious, ethical, and speculative tenets, will be excluded from this seminary; as likewise the perusal of such au- thors as may tend to influence the mind of youth in those respects; but the strictest attention will be devoted to the moral deportment of the students, and to the cultivation of the virtuous and sympathetic passions; nor will any amuse- ments be tolerated in play hours, but such as may have this tendency. Although the above be the plan which is re- solved in general to be adopted with the youth of the Woodford Academy; yet it will be fre- quently varied to suit the capacity, and intend- ed professions of particular individuals; but not so as to occasion any derangement in the plan of the several classes. The terms of tuition in future, will be five dollars per quarter, for those only studying En- glish; six dollars for Greek and Latin stu- dents; seven and one half dollars after the the commencement of the French language, or any of the branches of the mathematics and natural philosophy. Two dollars and one half additional, will be charged to those who obtain a knowledge of drawing or painting, or those branches connected with the art of design, as military or civil engineering, &c. The fees of tuition are also required to be paid in advance, at the commencement of each quarter. The healthy situation of the town of Versail- les is sufficiently known, without the trustees urging any argument in its favor. It may how- ever be proper to acquaint the public, that every necessary accommodation will be provided in the town, for the boarding of students, who live at a distance from their parents or friends. 6t Fran.

Scott and Robert Scott of Jessamine county, Kentucky. He is a well made black fellow, about 24 years of age, about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, he stoops a little in his shoulders and has a soft speaking voice.

His clothing at that time is not known to the subscriber. I will give the above reward to any person who will apprehend said negro out of the limits of this Territory, and will deliver him to me at my house, or Twenty Dollars for securing him in any jail, and giving me information thereof, so that I get him again; or Twenty Dollars to any person who will apprehend said negro within this Territory, and will deliver him to me at my plantation.
