RAN AWAY
FROM the subscriber, living in Washington county, near Springfield, on the night of March, a Negro Man named TOM, about 46 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, well made, and of a dark complexion; he is lame in his right thigh, which causes the toes of that foot to turn out, inasmuch that his track may be known from any person's else. Had on when he went away a pair of leather pantaloons and blue coat, though his clothes it is unnecessary to describe, as he will steal at every opportunity. Any person taking up such negro and bringing him home, or securing him in any jail so that the owner may get him may depend on being handsomely compensated for their trouble and辛苦.

20 DOLLARS REWARD.
RAN away on Christmas last, a Negro Woman named LETTY, belonging to the subscriber, she is about 28 years of age, of a common feature, spare and erect, fond of strong drink, and when intoxicated very volent—Her clothing consisted of two or three white mufin dresses, one of fancy chintz, salmon coloured linsey petticoat, white yarn stockings and good shoes, with sundry other clothing of good quality. I believe this negro was harboured for some time in and near this place, and if removed, no doubt is furnished with a pass to Clarke county, Baudstown or Danville. I will pay the above reward for the negro delivered to Will. Morton. Lexington, 2d April, 1806. CHS. HUMPHREYS & Co.

FAYETTE county set. Taken up by Robert Collins, on the head waters of David's Fork of Elkhorn A Brown Horse, three years old last spring, supposed to be four feet ten inches high, natural trotter, no brand perceivable; appraised to sixty dollars before Leonard Young. 14th Nov. 1805.

The famous and complete Horse, STIRLING , Never beaten but once, and then by accident.
WAS imported from London by the late John Hoome esq. of the Bowdoun Green, and extraordinary to relate, he was a King's plate at four years old, and another at five. He was considered while running, by Mr. Weatherby, the author of the racing calendar, and clerk of the course at New-Market, (as will appear by a letter from that gentleman to be, if not the first, undoubtedly the second horse in England. The celebrated horse Hambletonian (supposed by some to be his superior, and the first horse then on the British turf,) paid him a forfeit of 500 guineas, on a match over the Beacon course, [4 miles 1 furlong and 128 yards] for 1000 guineas; Stirling was among the best racers that ever appeared in England; having won eleven races out of twelve, and when beaten, was undoubtedly the best horse that started, as he ran considerably off the course, and even then came in third.
STIRLING is a most beautiful bay horse, and descended from the best stock in England, as will appear from his pedigree below: he is upwards of fifteen hands and a half high, in very high form, extremely gay, with great strength and activity, and is a most capital stallion. Perhaps it may not be amiss to observe, that Stirling's racing was generally four miles, and with the best horses then on the turf: and in order to prove him a horse of great speed, I beg leave to refer the gentlemen of the turf, to the sixth volume of the Sporting Magazine, page 302 and 303, where speaking of the velocity of the Barb horses, and comparing them with the English horses, the following extract follows in page 303: "It is accordingly said, that the famous running horse Stirling, sometimes ran the first mile (of the New-Market course) in one minute, which is at the rate of 82 feet and a half in a second, an inconceivable swiftness, even supposing it a little exaggerated, as it is probable it was; but for further satisfaction, we find it confirmed by Dr. Maty. If such a velocity had continued some seconds, it might have been fairly pronounced, that the horse went swifter than the wind, it being very seldom that the most violent wind makes such way: the greatest known velocity of a ship at sea, is six marine leagues in an hour, and supposing the ship to take the third of the velocity of the wind which impelled it, the speed of that wind would not amount to 80 feet in a second." The subscriber does not pretend to say but the above account may be exaggerated, yet from a fair construction of the extract taken from the Sporting Magazine, he concludes that Stirling was selected as the fleetest horse in England, to compare his speed with that of the Barb horses.
In 1794, Stirling then three years old, won a match of 200 guineas each, at Alcot, beating Mr. Grosvenor's Victor (this was the first time he started.) He afterwards won at Egham, the Magna Charta stakes of 20 guineas each, fifteen subscribers, beating with ease Mr. Durdens Play-or-Pay, and three others. In 1795, when the property of E. H. Delme esq. He won a 500. plate at New-Market, Duke's course, four miles, beating lord Stratmore's Horatio, lord Grosvenor's Lilliput, and Mr. Girdler's Bilibon Blaze. He won the Jockey Club plate for four years old, (round course) four miles, beating the duke of Grafton's Manton, lord Clermont's Repeater, and lord Grosvenor's Capricorn. He received forfeit of 75 guineas from Mr. Rutten's fill at Epsom, and won the king's plate at Ipswich. In 1796, he won at New-Market the second class of the Oatland stakes, beating Mr. Wilton's Caustic, lord Grosvenor's bay colt by Pot8os, out of String, Mr. Bott's Tottersidge the duke of Bedford's Bras, lord Egremont's Fraction, and lord Darling-ton's Albourne. He afterwards ran with the winners of the other two classes, for the main of the Oatlands, which he also won, beating lord Tichfield's Viret, and lord Grosvenor's Lilliput. The same year he won the king's plate at Burford, beating Mr. Bott's Tottersidge. In 1797, Stirling beat lord Sackville's Kitear, a match at New-Market, for 300 guineas each: received forfeit from Mr. Henry Vane Tempest's Hambletonian, in a match over the Beacon course for 1000 guineas, half forfeit; won a sweepstakes, of 100 guineas each, (seven subscribers) beating lord Darlington's St. Georges, and others, Duke's course, (four miles.) He was laid before his next engagement, and has not started since.
The above horse will stand the ensuing season (which will commence the 20th inst. and end on the first day of August following) in Lexington, and cover mares at thirty dollars the season (which may be discharged with twenty dollars paid within the season) with one dollar to the groom for each mare when put. To insure a mare with foal, fifty dollars, to be returned if such should not be the case if the mare remains the property of the person who owned her when put to the horse. Attended notes for thirty dollars the season, or fifty for an insurance, to be sent with the mares, payable on or before the 15th day of October next.
Good and convenient pasturage is provided for mares coming from a distance gratis. They will be grain fed if required, at a moderate price. Great care and attention will be given to prevent accidents and escapes, but no liability.
Wm. T. BANLON. Lexington, March 7th, 1806.
I hereby certify, that Stirling was bred by me, and was got by Volunteer (one of the best sons of Eclipse) his dam Harriet, by Highflyer, his grand dam by Young Cade, his great grand dam Chiderkin by Second, out of the dam of Old Snap; she was got by Fox, her dam Gipsy, by Bay Bolton, grand dam by the duke of New-Castle's Turk, Byerly Turk, Taflet, Barb, Place's white Turk, out of a natural Barb mare.
THOMAS STIRLING.
The Noted Running Horse, DARE DEVIL , (FOR JOHNSON'S COLT.)
STANDS in Lexington, near the lower end of Mr. Dodge's rope walk field, at the white stable on the late extension of Upper-Street; to be let to mares at ten dollars the season, which may be discharged by the payment of six within the season, twenty-five cents at the stable door.
DARE DEVIL is an elegant deep bay, black legs, mane and tail, full 15 1-2 hands high, was got by the old imported Don Carlos, his dam by old Harnless. His grand dam by col. Fitzhugh's noted True-Whiz. To say more of his pedigree I conceive unnecessary. His colts are large and very elegant, and those that have been tried, are found to be horses of great strength and activity, fine figure and gait and have, when grown up, commanded very high prices; Dare Devil is a horse of fine figure, and great gait & sprightliness, and certainly possesses the grand requisites either for the turf, saddle or harness; excellent eyes, fine limbs, strong bone, muscular strength and action equal perhaps to any horse in the United States, as will appear from the following sketch of his performance.
In the fall '97, he won the Jockey Club colt's purse at Lexington; in the fall '98, he distanced the noted running horse Weazle, four miles the heats, at maj. Blackburn's course; the same fall he won a purse at Frankfort, beating several fleet horses; was brought to Lexington the next day by 12 o'clock, notwithstanding the roads were very deep and heavy, was started immediately (without being cleaned) flew the course, leaped a high fence that was put up at a short turn in the course with the intent to keep the horses from flying off the course, was leaped back, saved his distance that heat, and took the purse, two miles the heats, beating col. Bibb's noted running stud horse Black Shark, and col. Rife's Roan. In August '99, he won a quarter race for 1000. at Miller's-Town, carrying 200lbs. to a catch, beating col. Buckner's mare, a noted quarter nag; the same year, in September, he received a forfeit of 500 dollars, on a match with the noted running stud horse Alfred, two miles the heats; the same fall he won a purse at Danville, two miles the heats; the next week he won a purse at Bairdstown, three miles the heats, beating Black Shark, and distanced the noted horse Gold Wire, one week after walked over the course at Louisville for the first day's purse. There are a great number of other races formerly run by Dare Devil, which he was successful in, but do not state them lest I might be inaccurate; one however I am informed of by Mr. Gatewood—a purse race, the heats, at George Town, where he more than double distanced the famous running horse Diomede, which had been kept by Mr. Gatewood. I believe I may say with propriety, that he has run and won more races than any horse that ever run in this state.
The foregoing statement of his pedigree and performance, is impartial and precise, as near as I could ascertain from good authority.
ALSO, The High Bred Race Horse GRAY-SQUIRREL ,
Stands at the same place, to be let to mares at 5 dollars the season, which may be discharged by the payment of three within the season. Twenty-five cents at the stable door.
GRAY-SQUIRREL was got by the famous full bred horse Eolus, out of Capt. Prior's noted running gray mare Cade; her performance on the turf in Kentucky, is well known, she won six purse races in one season.
Gray-Squirrel was started at 3 years old, for a purse at Nicholasville, he won the first heat only, but lost the race by an accident of running against a stump. At 4 years old he ran a match race, single three miles, over the Lexington track, against col. Sanders's famous horse Albert, for 500 dollars, and won the race with ease: The same fall he won a purse at the Forks of Elkhorn, from several good horses. He is of a large and excellent running family of horses.
N. BURROWES. Lexington, March 8.
N. B. Good pasturage for mares at a moderate price, and every attention paid to them, but will not be liable for accidents or escapes.
P. S. Such mares as did not stand to the horse last season, and have not been transferred, may have a leap gratis.

SOLDIERS, "For ten years have I done all I could to save the King of Naples; he has done every thing in his power to destroy himself."
"After the battles of Dorgo of Mondovi, and of Lodi, he could give no effectual opposition. I placed confidence in the word of this Prince, and behaved with generosity towards him."
"When the second Coalition was dissolved at Marengo, the king of Naples, who was the first to commence that unjust war, abandoned at Lunéville by his allies, remained alone, and without protection—He solicited my pardon, and I forgave him a second time."
"A few weeks ago you were at the gates of Naples. I had sufficient reason to suspect the treachery which was intended, and to avenge the insults which I had received. Still I was generous. I acknowledged the neutrality of Naples—I ordered you to evacuate that Kingdom, and, for the third time, the House of Naples was confirmed and saved."
"Shall we grant pardon for a fourth time? Shall we, for a fourth time, place any confidence in a Court without truth, honor, or common sense?—No! No! The Neapolitan Dynasty has ceased to reign—its existence is incompatible with the repose of Europe, and the honor of our Crown."
"Soldiers! March—drive into the sea, if they will wait your attack, these feeble battalions of the Tyrants of the sea. Shew to the world the manner in which we punish the perfidious. Lose no time in informing me that the whole of Italy is subject to my laws, or those of my allies; that the finest country in the world is emancipated from the yoke of the most perfidious of men; that the sacredness of treaties is avenged: and that the names of my brave soldiers, massacred in the ports of Sicily, on their return from Egypt, after having escaped from the dangers of the sea, the deserts, and a hundred battles, are at length appeased."
"Soldiers! My brother will lead you on; he is acquainted with all my plans; he is the depository of my authority—he is in full possession of my confidence—let him have your's."
(Signed) "NAPOLEON."
37th Bulletin of the Grand Army.
"General St. Cyr is advancing by forced marches towards Naples, to punish the treason of the Queen and to precipitate from the throne this culpable woman, who has violated in so shameful a manner, all that is held sacred among men. It was endeavored to intercede for her with the Emperor: he replied "were hostilities to recommence, and the nation to support a thirty years war, so atrocious an act could not be pardoned." The Queen of Naples has ceased to reign. This last crime has completed her destiny, let her go to London to increase her number of intriguers, and form a SYMPATHETIC committee with Drake, Spencer, Smith, Taylor, and Wickham, she may also invite, if she pleases, Baron D'Armfeldt, M. Ferlen, D. Antraigues, and the Monk Morus."
NEW-YORK, March 22.
The ship John Morgan, captain Bunker, whose arrival within the Hook we noticed yesterday, came up last evening. She left Liverpool on the 13th of February, and the Rock on the 17th. Her latest London papers are the 10th. From a file to this date, commencing with the 6th, we have selected the following, which comprise the most valuable articles of intelligence they contain.
Our extracts from Lloyd's Lists to the 7th, will be found in the Marine department.
The new ministry, from whom much is expected, have commenced their career. Parliament has been occupied almost exclusively with the treaties entered into by government with the powers on the continent—Austria, Russia, Sweden, &c. and other state papers.
Boulogne has again become the scene of preparation. The flotilla is immediately to be augmented, and the "Camp of the Ocean" to be formed anew, and the INVASION OF ENGLAND, is once more "the order of the day."
We are informed, that when the J. Morgan failed, government were in hourly expectation of a decisive engagement having taken place between Sir Richard Strachan's fleet and a French fleet of 9 sail of the line and frigates, ten in the lat. of 47, 2, long. 9.
Mr. Erskine is created Peer. Sir Hyde Parker is dead.
The Rochefort squadron has returned to port, after a cruise of 161 days. It has taken one man-of-war, 3 sloops, and 42 merchantmen.
Jerome Bonaparte's squadron from Brest is said to be destined for the East Indies.
The National Guards, who were called out as soon as the French army crossed the Rhine, have been disembo-
died throughout all France.
LONDON, Feb. 6.
Our Falmouth letters received this morning, state circumstances similar to those communicated yesterday respecting Sir R. Strachan's squadron being in pursuit of a French one, and the men of war of the outward bound West India fleet being in preparation to assist Sir Richard.
The Court of Naples endeavors to ward off the blow by which its very existence is menaced. Cardinal Ruffo had gone to Rome for the purpose of negotiating with Cardinal Fesch, the uncle of Napoleon, and procure the suspension of the march of the French army. Couriers were dispatched to Paris and Naples with the result of the conference; and it is not impossible but that St. Cyr may halt, until he shall have received imperative instructions from the French Emperor. After the vindictive spirit displayed in the Thirty seventh Bulletin, it does not seem very likely, that Napoleon will concede that oblivion of the Queen of Naples' conduct to the interception of Cardinal Fesch, which he refused to the entreaty of the Archduke Charles or the Emperor of Germany.
Yesterday soon after twelve o'clock, Earls Weilmorland Camden, Viscount Castlereagh, Lords Mulgrave and Hawkesbury, had an audience of his Majesty, at the Queen's palace, and resigned their offices. At two Earl Moira entered, followed by Lord Ellenborough, Lord Grenville, Earl Temple, Lord Auckland, Earl Spencer, Viscount Sidmouth, Mr. Fox, Mr. Grey, Lord H. Petty, Mr. Windham, Lord Minto, Mr. Vanhastart, and the Earl of Buckinghamshire.
Lord Ellenborough had an audience of his Majesty, and resigned the seals of Chancellor of the Exchequer, which he held pro tempore since the death of Mr. Pitt.
The following kissed hands on their respective appointments, viz.
Earl Spencer, } Sec. of State. and Mr. Windham, } Mr. Grey, First Lord of the Admiralty.
Lord Henry Petty, Chancellor of the Exchequer. Lord Sidmouth, Privy Seal.
The following will kiss hands to-morrow, as it was not convenient for his Majesty to have a court this day, viz. Mr. Erskine, Lord Chancellor. Lord Grenville, First Lord of the Treasury. Mr. Fox, Secretary for the Foreign Department. Earl Moira, Master General of the Ordnance. Earl Fitzwilliam, at present in the country, will kiss hands as President of the Council, some day next week.
A Privy Council was afterwards held, when the following were sworn in members and took their places at the board accordingly. They likewise had the honor of kissing hands upon the occasion, viz. Mr. Fox, Earl Moira, Lord Temple, Mr. Grey, Lord Henry Petty.
His majesty will hold a privy council to-morrow, at the Queen's palace, when it is expected the remainder of the new ministers will be appointed.
Earl Spencer went immediately to the Secretary of state's office, in the Treasury, and transacted business during the afternoon.
Mr. Grey likewise went to the Admiralty, and took his seat at the board.
It seems that Mr. Sheridan was left at complete liberty to make his own choice in the new ministerial arrangements—When an illustrious personage said to Mr. Fox—"What is the situation proposed for Mr. Sheridan?" The answer was—"Sir, we mean to propose no situation for Sheridan; but what ever situation Mr. Sheridan proposes for himself, will be instantly assented to."
February 7.
Intelligence received from Boulogne, states, that the most vigorous measures are adopting along the French coast, particularly at Boulogne, to place the latter in a formidable state of defence. Active preparations have begun to be made in the Boulogne flotilla.
A gentleman lately returned from Flushing, informs us, that there are six 74 gun ships nearly ready to launch at Antwerp; those ships when ready for sea, will, in all probability, go to the Texel.
Just as this paper was going to Press, we were informed, that the remainder of the Brest fleet has put to sea. This intelligence was brought to Falmouth by a ship which received the accounts from a vessel she spoke on the fourth in the morning.
Part of the Channel fleet has been forced to get into Falmouth.
Feb. 8.
Mr. Erskine has been called up to the House of Peers by the title of Baron Erskine, of Roslmeel, in the county of Cornwall.
There is said to be no truth in the report of the whole of the Brest fleet being put to sea. The following Bulletin was sent to Lloyd's yesterday evening:
BULLETIN.
"Admiralty office, Feb. 7."
"Letters from Falmouth of the 4th inst. mentions a report received from the Colpoys Schooner, which was cruising for Admiral Cornwallis, that a French squadron had failed from Brest, and it may be presumed to be that seen by the Canada."
Our Plymouth letter corroborates the account of the Bulletin, and says that letters have been received from the Aigle, off the Black Rocks stating that on the 30th ult. she looked into Brest, and counted there only 6 sail of the line and 1 frigate. On the 3d ult. when she looked in she counted 11 sail of the line, 4 frigates and 3 corvettes—of course, between the 3d ult. and 30th, 5 sail of the line, 3 frigates, and 3 corvettes must have put to sea.
Letters from Holland, of the 4th were yesterday received in the City. One of those mentions a report, that Bonaparte had demanded the King of Prussia to shut his ports against the commerce of England; upon which subject a very serious correspondence had taken place between the Courts of Berlin and Paris, the result of which is not stated.
We understand that it is intended Mr. Pitt's funeral shall take place on Saturday the 22d inst. and that the body shall lie in State on the preceding Thursday and Friday.
Feb. 10.
The Hamburg mail, due yesterday, has not arrived, but Government have received dispatches from Lord Cathcart, commanding the British troops in Hanover.
We understand that these dispatches announce that the King of Prussia has taken possession of Hanover in his own name, and enforced the oath of allegiance on the different authorities established. It is said too that he refuses to allow the German Legion to return to England, claiming them as his subjects. Another account says, that it is only the recruits that are not permitted to embark for England.
A demand was made on Lord Cathcart to the above effect, which brought on a warm discussion between his Lordship and the new government. If we are rightly informed, his Lordship in the mean time embarked the whole or the greater part of the German recruits on board the transports in the Elbe.
The guards and the English Regiments had likewise fallen back upon Bremerle; and it was expected that the whole of this force, together with its artillery, would be afloat, and under the protection of the British Navy, as soon as yesterday the 9th inst.
The annexation of the Electorate of Hanover to the Prussian dominions was announced by a Proclamation, dated the 5th inst. from Count Schulenburg, who had previously been appointed Governor of Hanover.
In consequence of the very extraordinary and unprecedented step taken by Count Schulenburg on the part of the King of Prussia, for the administration of the civil government of the Electorate of Hanover, his Britannic Majesty's arms have been taken down from the tribunals and public offices throughout Hanover; and the several public functions are prohibited, under severe penalties, from maintaining any correspondence whatever with the king of Great Britain, or with his English or German ministers!!!
The whole of this proceeding has been as hostile and rough in its detail, as its principle has been unwarrantable, unjust, and disgraceful, on the part of Prussia towards this country. But whether it may ultimately prove an injury or a real benefit to this country, time alone can show. This is a question on which politicians are much divided.
Letters received in the city from the continent state, that an arrangement has been made between the courts of Berlin and St. Cloud, to shut out British commerce from Prussian ports. We know not what degree of credit is due to this statement; but it seems not improbable.
Various reports were in circulation respecting the Brest fleet being at sea. It was said that the British squadron was left engaged with an enemy's; but this is without foundation. It seems certain however, that the enemy has got out of Brest in different detachments. As we have several detached squadrons now at sea, these detachments of the enemy are likely to be intercepted. Indeed we do not see what object the ene-

my can have in view in this mode of proceeding.
Our troops are arrived from the continent—Forty sail of transports with the troops arrived on Saturday in Yarmouth roads—they were to have proceeded to the Downs direct, but the wind prevented them. It is supposed they will be landed at Yarmouth.
We understand Mr. Fox has already sent dispatches to all our ministers at foreign courts, announcing the change in our ministry, adding, that his wish is to restore peace to all Europe. If report be true, it is Mr. Fox's intention to make peace with France, leaving the Boulogne flotilla as it now is: and he proposes to guard against the dangers of its existence, by compelling every man in this country capable of bearing arms, to learn the use of them. The whole of our male population of this description, is to be enrolled, called out occasionally in divisions, and ready on any sudden emergency to take the field.
It appears that government must have strong reason to think that the Cape of Good Hope has been taken by the expedition under Sir D. Baird. Three transports with provisions have sailed from Portsmouth for the Cape. It was reported some time ago, that this expedition would first make an attempt on some part of Spanish America, but it seems to have been abandoned.
It appears no longer doubtful that the strange squadron seen by the Naid which arrived at Falmouth last Tuesday, was a French force. The following is the extract of a letter from the mate of that vessel:—
"When we left convoy, there were nine sail of the enemy's line of battle ships in flight, bearing west. We had in company besides (Canada, Commodore) one three decker, and eight sail of 74's, besides frigates, who were all in full chase of them. The wind at three P. M. was basting, and light from S.W. but about six P. M. it sprung up a brisk gale from S.E. and S.S.E. and I have not the least doubt but our fleet would be along side of them before midnight. The Canada made a signal, "should he leave the convoy and join the squadron?" Answer, "not yet." I believe the admiral is Sir R. Strachan, I am not quite sure—He had his blue flag at the mizen. We are the first and only ship that could bring these particulars. There is no doubt but the fleet (of which we were one) was dispersed in the gale of yesterday, as I hardly ever knew it blow so hard; we rode it out with two anchors and a cable ahead with difficulty."
This communication is considerably strengthened by advices from Liverpool, which mention the arrival of an American Schooner there on Thursday evening, after passing through a squadron of French ships, consisting of nine sail of the line, on the 30th ult. between Ushant and Cape Clear, in lat 47, 2, long. 9. She was ordered to lie to by the squadron, which she did; but the wind blew so strong that they could not board.
It is now believed at the admiralty that the squadron was French. It is said that Lord St. Vincent is to have a very extensive command, including the whole European seas. Capt. H. Nichols will probably be comptroller, and captain Grey, deputy comptroller of the navy.
Some letters from Holland, of a late date, mention that the squadron which lately sailed from Brest, under Jerome Bonaparte, is destined to the East-Indies. The new ministerial arrangements, at least the principal ones, are completed.
Last night Paris papers arrived to the 31st ult. and Dutch to the 4th inst.
The intelligence from Berlin speaks with confidence of the preservation of Peace between Prussia and France. A treaty is said to have been signed, by which Hanover is to remain in the hands of Prussia till the general peace. His Prussian Majesty too, in his general orders to his army states, that he has succeeded in preserving peace; but that if war had taken place, he is convinced his troops would have shewn themselves worthy of the Prussian name. For the present, therefore, there is no expectation of hostilities between the two powers.
The London Courier says:—The Fox party in the Cabinet is more numerous than the Grenville, and should a difference of opinion occur, as it is scarcely possible that it should not occur, the small Addington party can incline the scale which way they please. The following division will prove the truth of our assertion.
The Grenville party. Lord Grenville, Earl Spencer, Mr. Wyndham, Earl Fitzwilliam.
The Fox party. Mr. Fox, Mr. Grey, Lord Henry Petty, Mr. Erskine, and the Earl of Moira.
The Addington party. Lord Sidmouth and Lord Ellenborough.
Fayette county etc. Taken up by Capt. Littleberry Ellis, living on the head waters of North Elkhorn, in said county, a
Dark Brown Horse, about 16 or 18 years old, about 14 hands high, a faddle foot; appraised to five dollars. Given under my hand this 15th January, 1806. H. Harrison.
"True to his charge"— He comes, the Herald of a noisy world, News from all nations lumbering at his back."
LEXINGTON, APRIL 19.
But one article of Foreign Intelligence of any importance, has been received by this day's mail, which is the taking of the Cape of Good Hope by the English, which surrendered on the 8th of January by capitulation.
We received no paper from the City of Washington, but it appears by the Aurora of the 24th inst. that Mr. Nicholson's bill, has passed a second reading in the Senate of the United States. The Yazo bill passed the Senate—Yeas 19—Nays 11; but was rejected in the House of Representatives—62 to 54.
The Aurora states, that Col. William Smith, surveyor of the port of New York, has been dismissed by the president, on account of his secret connexion with Miranda.
Extract of a letter from Paris, dated 15th Jan. 1806.
"The definitive articles of peace are signed and ratified by the two emperors. That Russia withdraws her armies there is no doubt, and as I predicted, the emperor of Austria pays dear for the peace. Bavaria, Wurtemberg and Italy, gain much from Austria. Prussia it appears, gets a handsome slice. Sweden, Pomerania, Hanover, up to Hamburg inclusive, will render that a powerful kingdom, and give her a great extent of commerce and navigation. Denmark, it is said, extends her possession in Holstein. At this rate Sweden will pay her full portion of indemnity. France does not extend her limits, and though in appearance gains nothing for her enormous expenses, yet in fact she gains much by her alliance and alliances. On this score her gain is incalculable, and England will lose in the same rates. I am much mistaken if France does not become the great supported of Austria, and that the latter will check the progress of Russia towards Constantinople, and in that quarter receive indemnity for the sacrifices she has made in her late concessions."
CAPE OF GOOD HOPE TAKEN.
Capt. Phillips, of the Ganges, has favoured us with the following extracts from his log-book:—
"Jan. 18. Cape of Good Hope bearing E. 7 or 8 leagues, was boarded by the British ship Belliqueux, Capt. Bing; was informed, that Cape Town was taken by the British, on the 8th inst. after a slight resistance on the part of the Dutch forces. The English effected their landing at a creek, opposite Robben's Island, with about 7000 men, including soldiers and seamen. The number of the former being about 2500; while the Dutch, with about 500 men, and 12 field-pieces, occupied an eminence near the place of landing. A short skirmish ensued near the place of landing, in which, 150, or 200 English were killed, and 200 wounded. The loss on the part of the Dutch, was more considerable. They soon fell into great disorder, and made a precipitate retreat, leaving behind, two field-pieces, which fell into the hands of the British, who also immediately took possession of the town and fortifications. The Governor had retreated to the mountains, between Table and Lynton's Bays, with about 2000 men, and was holding out for terms; but the British it was said, were attempting to surround them."
A letter received in New-York from Paris, states, that in 24 hours after Bonaparte's return to Paris, 400 persons had been arrested, and it was not known what had become of them, nor why they had thus disappeared. It is also stated, that a private supper had been given on Napoleon's return, at which were 33 persons—and that only three of them could be found the next morning.
A postscript to the above letter says, Kings and Princes are appointed in our days, like serjeants and corporals of a regiment.
(New-York paper.)
FOR THE KENTUCKY GAZETTE.
MR. BRADFORD, I have lately seen in the Kentucky Gazette of the first inst. an anonymous publication, in which the writer pretends to give a statement of real facts, relative to the late expedition of Lieut. Wilkinson up the Missouri river, containing falsehoods and misrepresentations, which he has taken the liberty to detail as coming from me, and as nearly as he can recollect in my own words—
In return for this piece of politeness, I must take the liberty of contradicting him, and so far as that statement seems to be supported by my testimony, I disclaim it. If you will be so good as to give his name to public, you will oblige Your most obedient servant. AND: STEELE. St. Louis, March 30th, 1806.
It has ever been the wish of the Editor of this paper to give correct information to his readers; and when any person imposes on him,
by misrepresentation, he conceives it a duty he owes himself and the public, not only to correct such misrepresentation, but to give the source from which he derived it. He therefore, without hesitation complies with the request of Dr. Steele, by publishing Maj. Seh Hunt as the person who communicated for publication the piece alluded to above; leaving it to his readers to decide in which of the two they will place confidence.

ARRA KOOKER, is a beautiful bay with black legs, mane, and tail; full sixteen hands high, and for figure, strength, elegance, movement and bone, is surpassed by no horse on the continent. As to his colts must refer you to Maj. James Heard of Winchester; Virginia, who is at present in this place, and to Mr. Robert Barr, who lives near this place, and whose certificates are annexed to this advertisement.
IDO hereby certify, that I have bred a colt by ARRA KOOKER, and think it extremely large and elegant, with remarkable fine limbs—The appearance of it has induced me to enter it in a sweep stake of 500 dollars—Likewise have seen a considerable number, which are promising—He is supposed to be a sure foal getter. Given under my hand this 10th day of April, 1806. James Heard. Danl. Bradford.
I do certify that whilst I was in New-Town, in the Fall and Winter of 1803, I saw several of ARRA KOOKER's colts, they were rising 2 and three years old, they promised to be very fine, and during my stay in that part of the country, I visited Penny-Town, in New-Jersey, where ARRA KOOKER had stood, and general report spoke highly of him as a sure and good foal getter. Robert Barr; Lexington March 26th, 1806.
ARRA KOOKER was imported from England by Dr. Tate, 1798. Is a beautiful bay, with black legs, mane and tail; full sixteen hands high; a lofty elegant figure, with a great proportion of bone & strength and moves well; he is from the pure turf blood, he is from the best line of horses in England.
ARRA KOOKER was got by the celebrated running horse Drone (who won 25 Kings plates, Jockey club plates, and metelics, to the amount of 5000 guineas) his grand sire was Herod, out of Lilly; his great grand sire was Blank, the sire of Eclipse; his dam was Mrs. Dods worth's Chatsworth mare, by Chatsworth, a son of Blank's, (dam of Abba Thule) his grand dam by Engineer, his great grand dam by Wilson's Arabian, his great great grand dam by Hutton's Spot, his great great grand dam by Mogul, his great great grand grand dam by Crab, Bay Bolton, Curwin's Barb, Spot White legg'd Lather barb, &c. &c.
ARRA KOOKER when three years old won a sweep stake of 100 guineas, two miles, five horses started at New-Castle on Tine and 50 guineas Northallerton; at four years old he walked over the course for 100 guineas at New-Castle on Tine—no four year old winner against him the four mile heats, (year may in the racing calendar see) in consequence of an injury in his leg, received in running, he was taken out of training; but of which he is now perfectly recovered and free from blemish. I certify that the bright bay horse Arra Kooker, this day sold by me to Dr. James Tate, of Philadelphia, North America; was bred by Mathew Dods worth, Esq. of Crake Hall Yorkshire; that he was got by the running horse Drone out of Abba Thule's dam, for whose pedigree reference may be had to the Stud Book, &c. &c. Given under my hand, and seal, at the city of York, this 25th day of August, 1797. A true copy from the original. Conyers Norton.
THE bay horse, Arra Kooker, by Drone out of my Chatsworth gray mare, (the dam of Abba Thule) was bred by me, is no more than eight years old last grass. Witness my hand this 26th day of August, 1797. A true copy from the original MATHEW DODSWORTH.

TO SOAR ALOFT ON FANCY'S WING. FROM THE SPANISH. TAKE dearest maid this chain of gold, And with it grace thy peerless neck: These pearls on silken threads enroll'd, Those auburn tresses let them deck. Fond youth (the blushing nymph replied) To me these toys no bliss impart, To see thee happy is my pride: The pearl I value is thy heart. TRIFLES LIGHT AS AIR."
When the late lord Paget was ambassador at Constantinople, he, with the rest of the gentlemen who were in a public capacity at the same court, determined on one gala day, to have each of them a dish dressed after the manner of their respective countries; and lord Paget, for the honor of England, ordered a piece of roast beef and plum pudding. The beef was easily cooked, but the court cooks not knowing how to make a plum pudding, he gave them a receipt:—So many eggs, so much milk, so much flour, and a given quantity of raisins, to be beaten up together, and boiled for three hours in five gallons of water. When dinner was served up, first came the French ambassador's dish—then that of the Spanish ambassador—and next, two fellows bearing a tremendous pan, and bawling "room for the English ambassador's dish!"—"By the mother that bore me," cried his lordship, "I forgot the bag, and these stupid scoundrels have boiled it without one—and in five gallons of water too! It will be good plum broth however."

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, which falls at the landing at one shilling per bushel, and twenty thousand might be sold: this might be made productive by a man of small capital. Independent of these advantages, the mouth of the three forks is the best fishing place in the State. In a small crib they can get five hundred pounds of fish in a day, and may get by a sein, five or seven hundred barrels per annum. Tobacco, flour, beef, pork, tallow, hogs' lard, hemp, cordage, whiskey, or cast iron, will be taken in payment. Part credit will be given. If the whole cannot be sold, a half will be sold, or a third. A clear and indisputable deed will be given. For terms apply to Mr. Wm. Leavy Lexington, or at this office. Lexington, December 4, 1805. N. B. There are a number of acres of clear bottom land, and several log houses upon the above lands.

IMPORTANT. TO all those who wish either to become citizens or to hold lands in that delightful country south of green river. The subscriber being inclined to remove to Tennessee, offers for sale, the plantation on which he now resides, together with six thousand acres of land, situated on both sides of Red river, and Big Whippoorwill, including several fine mills, and as valuable a body of timber as any on Red river; surrounded by barrens, some of which are equal in quality to any in Logan county; about 30 acres of cleared land, under good fence; a small apple orchard of the best fruit, a peach and cherry orchard, all in full perfection. On the premises is a large and elegant two story Brick House, entirely new, together with other necessary buildings. In point of health and beauty, this situation perhaps is exceeded by none in the state of Kentucky. The plantation lies one on the north, the other on the south side of the river, a little below where the two forks unite, and just opposite the confluence of Big Whippoorwill. These streams afford water sufficient (the river in particular,) all the year to support a merchant and saw mill. A considerable quantity of the timbered land is fine rich bottom. The subscriber has also for sale sundry other tracts of land in Logan county, and likewise in Christian county, 1 tract in Livingston county, and one on Cumberland river, Stewart county, (state of Tennessee); he has in one compact tract in Christian 15,000 acres, equal perhaps in value, to any tract in that county. It is situated on the main source of Little river, including several miles on both sides of the river, and including some fine mill seats, (this river is a never failing fountain) it is situated in part about four miles below the court house, and extends from thence southwardly down the main river and the Sinking fork of Little river, the distance of five miles (or more perhaps) The subscriber has also another tract of land, lying on the South side of Little River, about eight or ten miles from Cumberland River, consisting of 7500 acres, part well timbered, the remainder good level barrens. This and the other last mentioned tract, has a number of fine springs on them, and are both well calculated to form a settlement for a number of families. The former is sufficient to make a settlement for 20 families; the latter is sufficient to make 8 or 10 farms, and good settlements. The subscriber has for sale, sundry other smaller tracts in Christian, and in any of which, he will sell upon terms perhaps more moderate than any such lands have been sold for many years past. [The summer range in all this country, is equal to any in the universe] Indispensible titles will be made to the purchasers. For terms and further information, apply to the subscriber at his plantation, about 12 miles South of Russellville. Letters addressed to the subscriber, (post paid) and left in the post-office at Russellville, will be duly attended to, and answered through the medium of the mail. If part of the purchase money be paid in advance, a considerable indulgence will be given for the remainder. BEVERLY A. ALLEN. March 23, 1806.
