DARE DEVIL, (OR JOHNSON'S COLT.)
STANDS in Lexington, near the lower end of Mr. Dodge's rope walk and adjoining Mr. J. Maxwell's field, at the white stable on the late extension of Upper-Street; to be let to mares at ten dollars the season, which may be discharged by the payment of six within the season, twenty-five cents at the stable door. DARE DEVIL is an elegant deep bay, black legs, mane and tail, full 15 1-2 hands high, was got by the old imported Don Carlos, his dam by old Harmless, his grand dam by col. Fitzhugh's noted True Whig. To say more of his pedigree I conceive unnecessary. His colts are large and very elegant, and those that have been tried, are found to be horses of great strength and activity, fine figure and gaiety and have, when grown-up, commanded very high prices; Dare Devil is a horse of fine figure, and great gaiety & sprightliness, and certainly possesses the grand requisites either for the turf, saddle or harness; excellent eyes, fine limbs, strong bone, muscular strength and action equal perhaps to any horse in the United States, as will appear from the following sketch of his performance. In the fall '97, he won the Jockey Club colt's purse at Lexington; in the fall '98, he distanced the noted running horse Weazle, four miles the heats, at maj. Blackburn's course; the same fall he won a purse at Frankfort, beating several fleet horses; was brought to Lexington the next day by 12 o'clock, notwithstanding the roads were very deep and heavy, was started immediately (without being cleaned) flew the course, leaped a high fence that was put up at a short turn in the course with the intent to keep the horse 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. Ribby's Roan. In August '99, he won a quarter race for 100. at M c Intire's Town, carrying 200lbs. to a catch, beating col. Buokner's mare, a noted quarter nag; the same year, in September, he received a forfeit of 500 dollars, on a match with the noted running stud horse Alfred, two miles the heats; the same fall he won a purse at Danville, two miles the heats; the next week he won a purse at Bairdstown, three miles the heats, beating Black Shark, and distancing the noted horse Gold Wire, one week after walked over the course at Louisville for the first day's purse. There are a great number of other races formerly run by Dare Devil, which he was successful in, but do not state them lest I might be inaccurate; one however I am informed of by Mr. Gatewood—a purse race, the heats, at George Town, where he more than double distanced the famous running horse 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. 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.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, MARCH 7.
MR. SLOAN'S SPEECH
On Mr. Gregg's motion, in reply to Mr. Randolph.
MR. SLOAN. I do not rise to deny, but to acknowledge myself, one of those horn-book politicians alluded to by a member from Virginia, and to assure this committee, that I do not envy or begrudge that member either his superior genius, talents or learning—and further, to ask on behalf of myself, and others of this class, the favour of being permitted to deliver our sentiments on this, and other important subjects, in such language as we are capable of, until our constituents may have an opportunity of electing other members of superior learning and talents, and farther advanced in political knowledge. This is a favour I hope will not be denied, otherwise a great number of American citizens, the remainder of this and the ensuing session, must go unrepresented.
In answer to the assertion, that our late conduct respecting Spain was such as we dare not mention, that we dare not take off the injunction of secrecy, that we are ashamed to let the nation know the secret, permit me to assure that member, and this committee, that I feel neither shame nor compunction of heart, for the part that I acted in that business; not doubting that when the injunction is taken off, and the public acquainted with the whole transaction; the real friends of the peace and interest of United States, will fully approve the conduct of the majority, with whom I had the pleasure to act, and which, were I by side glances and insinuations, to endeavour to impress the public mind with a belief, that a majority of their representatives had acted in a manner they were ashamed of—I conceive my constituents would thenceforth consider me unworthy of their confidence, and consequently of a seat on this floor.
We are told, that we have no cabinet. Is it necessary? Is it recognized by the constitution? No. The President's powers are defined, and have for five years been fulfilled to the satisfaction of the people.
I have heard of British cabinets, British ministers, and British privy councils—of their conduct I imbibed a very bad opinion, before the member alluded to, was out of his nurse's arms, and have seen no cause to change that opinion—it is therefore pleasing to me to hear, that we have no such institution.
Mr. Chairman, however great my gratitude to that member for his paternal care over the children in politics, on this floor, which roused him from his sick bed, to give his superior opinion upon this important subject, before our weak and feeble minds had been misled by Tom, Dick and Harry, or some other
arrogant chap, that might have some knowledge of steering a ship at sea; but totally ignorant of navigating our vessel of State—I say, notwithstanding I gave all the attention in my power, to his eloquent speech of 2 hours 48 minutes, there were divers parts which my weak brain could not comprehend, and which I beg leave to lay before this committee, for the purpose of receiving further information.
1. I cannot comprehend how our demanding the release of our impressed seamen, and restitution for unjust captures of our vessels, can be considered as throwing our weight in the scale of France, for the purpose of supporting a set of men, who do not support the public weal of the United States.
2. Nor can I possibly discover, that Great Britain stands precisely in the same situation that republican France did in '93. For information on this subject, let me ask, was it not British gold and British intrigue, that then formed the coalition against republican France? And is it not the same that has formed the present coalition against monarchical France? Have the armies of France in either case, advanced beyond their own territory, previous to the raising and advancing toward their powerful armies, for the express purpose of subjugating them, and dividing their property amongst the coalesced powers? If the accounts received are true, they have not.
But we are told, that Britain is now the only barrier against tyranny, and her navy our only security, that the battle of Trafalgar prevented the fleets of France and Spain from laying our seaport towns under contribution, and that the British navy alone, stands between us and their tyranny. Mr. Chairman, if a British subject was admitted on this floor, to advocate his sovereign's cause, I should from him, have expected such language; but to hear it from a member of Congress, has astonished me more, than any thing I ever heard within these walls. I may add, that I believe even a British subject of common sense and prudence, would not have committed his character, by asserting, that the combined fleets of Holland, France, and Spain, were so reduced, that ten British ships, (I expect of the line was meant,) would be glad to meet their whole force.
Neither can I comprehend that language, that in one breath asserts, that Spain has grossly insulted us on our own territory; that we pocket those insults, because they are a favoured nation, and in the next breath asserts, that she is no nation; but those aggressions are the acts of France.
I here deem it my duty to make some remarks on observations made on this floor, which have a tendency to mislead and alarm the public mind, with regard to France and Spain. We have been told, that Spain has insulted us on our own territory. I appeal to the gentleman from Virginia, whether he has not declared, that we do not possess a foot of ground beyond the Iberville? If so, let the world judge of the consistency of his remarks. I ask, if Spain has not ordered her cruisers to respect our vessels? and whether France is not on a friendly footing with us? Shall then the public mind be deceived with the idea, that Congress have not acted towards those nations with spirit? For what? Because our boundaries with Spain are not defined. I trust in God, we shall never go to war for that. I repeat it, our affairs are in a train of amicable settlement, and, I trust, they will be soon settled.
It is asserted, that France would be as tyrannical on the Ocean as England, had she the same power—this is a point that I have neither foreknowledge or sagacity enough to determine, nor do I consider such assertions either necessary or proper on the present occasion. The degraded point of view in which Spain has been represented, the tyrannical disposition of France, and Britain represented as the only barrier against her tyranny, the forlorn hope of European liberty—I have heard with sorrow, the revealing such language highly improper, to be used in a legislative capacity, by any representative of a free people, whose interest it is to cultivate peace & harmony with all nations of the earth.
I shall only trouble the committee with one more observation upon the learned and eloquent speech first mentioned, in which I think it was alleged, that parchment was the only remedy applied to aggressions on our territory, for which a member from New Jersey might receive a vegetable specific. If I am the member alluded to, permit me to reply, that if by dealing in parchment, we can continue to purchase as good bargains as Louisiana, and thereby preserve peace, I hope the United States will always prefer dealing in that commodity, rather than to imbrue their hands in human blood. Respecting vegetable specifics, I shall only observe, that if that member lives to my age, needing no more specific medicine, either vegetable or mineral, he may consider it a great blessing; but which I think very improbable.
Mr. Chairman, believing it my duty to deliver my sentiments in as few words as possible, that other members standing on an equal floor, may have an opportunity to deliver theirs, I shall hasten to a conclusion—at the same time not doubt-

ing, that if I was disposed to do, I could take up the time of the committee as long, and to as little purpose as any member within these walls.
I could, under the pretext of explaining, keep the floor two hours and nine minutes, if the chairman did not order me down, which I hope he will, if ever I attempt it.
In explaining, I could declare, that I did not mean to stigmatize a respectable class of citizens with dishonesty, or any other reproachful epithet—and immediately compare them to buttermilk of the day, and to slippery eels, who will get round and evade any regulations or restrictions that can be made, whose interest is their guide, regardless of the peace and interest of the nation in which they reside.
I could declare, that I had not insulted the House; but aimed at certain political characters—and in the next breath, charge a majority of the same House with having hoodwinked its members, but unable to do so with foreign nations—I again, could charge them with bullying England, and truckling to France, and exclaim in an imperious tone, this you have done, and you know it.
Mr. Chairman, I could go on still further, and assert, that the little trifling arguments of my opponents ought to bear no weight, because destitute of reason, that instinct, the guide of the brute creation, was superior to such reason—yet declare, that I meant no insult to their understanding.
I could then in the prophetic line, inform the committee, that if they offended the British minister, he would immediately put forth his strength, and make the United States feel it—and that although France at present appears friendly, she is like the still hog drinking filth, meditating future evil, and will eventually (if in her power,) treat us worse than England.
I could in a few words remove this mighty bugbear, that the friends of the resolution have made so much ado about; I mean the impression of three thousand of our seamen; by informing the committee, that it has been the practice of Britain time immemorial—that it has been found indispensably necessary, to enable them to man their fleets—that is to say, without these diabolical means, which none but internal fiends in human shape could even use, they could not so effectually have carried fire and sword, devastation and plunder, to every habitable part of the globe, and thereby so greatly increased the quantum of human misery, and the cries of the widows and fatherless.
I could also, if my conscience would permit, after venting my hatred in the most bitter invectives against the French Emperor, that my genius could invent, charging Congress with truckling to him, and bestowing on the government of England the highest applause, for their opposition to French tyranny, repeatedly denying the apology of Britain; but a subsequent question arises, would the members of this committee subscribe to the truth of such declarations?
But, Mr. Chairman, I will detain the committee no longer with telling them what might be done; but earnestly call their attention to what has been done, to what has been said on this floor—we have been told, that France cannot get a pound of coffee or sugar, from her own islands, except through the medium of American vessels, and that we have a treaty, that obliges us to treat them as one of the most favoured nations—this raises the curtain, and gives a full and complete view of the whole scene—this explains in the most clear and explicit manner, the elaborate speech of two hours and forty-eight minutes, and the explanation of two hours and nine minutes. A horn-book politician, may by this, clearly discover the intention of the member from Virginia, and Tom, Dick and Harry, if they have only learned the three first letters of the alphabet, may understand his meaning, and why he would prefer an embargo, to even a partial non-importation of British manufactures. It is possible that George the third, that zealous defender of the most holy faith, by whose most gracious orders, the colonies of North America were declared out of his protection; and afterwards his paternal care was further manifested, in burning their towns, murdering their citizens, and causing their prisoners to perish with famine, and pestilence, in noisome dungeons, and filthy prison ships. I say, it is possible, as the precious life of this great benefactor of mankind is yet preserved, as we are told on this floor, remains animated with the same benevolent spirit, fighting the battles of liberty, against Gallic tyranny; if he should fall by land, his pious zeal may induce him once more, to resort to his forlorn hope, (as he did in the late war with republican France,) declare all her ports and her allies in a state of blockade, cover the Ocean with his fleets, in order to effect by famine, what he is unable to do by force of arms—in that case, an embargo on American vessels, would facilitate his purpose. But here let me ask this committee, can the Congress of the United States countenance such a procedure? I hope not.
Before I sit down, let me ask the members of this committee, especially you
in whose ears the expiring groans of your brethren in arms, of your beloved fellow citizens yet vibrates; slain by the murderous hands of the mercenaries of Great Britain; or more barbarously deprived of life, by famine and pestilence—can you, while that same monarchical reign, and instead of diminishing, has added to the long and black catalogue of crimes, set forth in our declaration of independence, which induced you to risk your lives, in opposition to his tyranny; can you with complacency, or any degree of approbation, sit and hear that government, who continues her tyranny and injustice to these United States, (witness the capture of our vessels and imprisonment of our seamen,) held up by a member on this floor, as the only barrier we have against the tyranny of that nation, who, in our struggle, assisted us with vessels of war, arms, ammunition, men, and money; whose soldiers fought by your side, and bled to support American liberty and independence, and whose government continues friendly towards us—I hope not, I believe you cannot, your hearts must turn indignant from such language. For my own part, I am free to declare, that since I have had the honour of a seat on this floor, I have heard nothing that has so hurt my feelings.
I have long borne them in silence—I am happy in obtaining a few moments in my plain and unlearned way, to express them, that this committee, and all the United States may know, that I retain the same abhorrence against British tyranny, that I did in the revolutionary war; and also the same love for the liberty and independence of the United States.
WARM & COLD BATHS. THE public are respectfully informed, that I have, at considerable expense, in addition to my former Baths, (on a permanent spring on my premises) erected three new Bathing Houses, one of which is solely set apart for the Ladies' use.
The use of Baths, warm and cold, were so general with the ancients, and particularly in warm climates, and the advantages to be derived from them, not only to persons in health as a luxury, but also in various acute diseases, where excruciating pain has been relieved, and sudden death often prevented, by the use of the warm bath alone; as well as the advantages to be derived both to children and persons of mature age, from the use of one or the other, as the faculty may think adapted to their case, will, the publisher trusts, ensure the countenance and support of the citizens and others to the accommodation he hopes his baths may afford. Himself and attendants, will, from day-break 'til nine at night, wait on gentlemen; and careful female servants are provided to attend at all times on such ladies as may be pleased to encourage the attempt he has made to add to their convenience and comfort.
G. A. WEBER.
N. B. Dr. Buchanan, in England, and Count Rumford, a native of our own country, with numerous other writers of eminence, have so fully set forth the advantages of Warm and Cold bathing, that the reading of their works, it is presumed, will be amply sufficient to ensure remuneration to the owner, for the expenses incurred in the present undertaking.
Persons may pay each time of bathing, or engage for the season. Lexington, 3d June, 1806.

LEXINGTON, JUNE 7.
MARRIED —On Thursday evening last, BENJAMIN PARK Esq. Delegate to Congress from the India Territory, to the amiable Miss ELIZA BARTON, of this town.
GOOD NEWS—AT LAST. We learn, that three of the many Orleans Mails now due, are lying at Frankfort, and will certainly arrive at the Lexington office to-morrow.
The ravages committed by the Army Worm, is inconceivable to those who have not witnessed its depredations. Many meadows are left with scarcely a spear of grass standing; and the wheat, rye, and corn, have not shared a much better fate—The planters are generally replanting their fields of corn; hoping the worms will disappear, before it is out of the ground, as they are now decreasing in number. The Editor will thank any Gentleman for a particular account of this worm, with the best probable method of guarding against its depredations in future seasons.
We have received Waite's prize list of the four first day's drawing of the New-York Literary Lottery. Adventurers can examine them on application at this office; or by leaving the number of their tickets, their fate, when known, shall be published.
AGRICULTURAL. MANY countries depend in a great measure on the annual produce of the orchard; and in these it will be of great utility to circulate the intelligence of an experiment for the protection of fruit trees from the Caterpillar, which has been attended with complete success. A clod of earth is moulded round the top of the trunk of the tree; and this is the whole process. From the hour that this operation is performed, even the most remote ramifications will be wholly freed from this destructive incumbrance. It is true that the animals will afterwards attempt to renew their depredations; but as soon as they arrive at the ring of earth, which should be permitted to remain, he will hasten down the trunk with much more rapidity than he attempted to ascend. We state this fact with confidence, but we leave to the learned to suggest the explanation of the mystery. (Philanthropist)
VERY IMPORTANT...IF TRUE!! We give the following as a report, without meaning to authenticate it—indeed we know not how it originated; but it is said, that as the United States' frigate Essex was returning home, she met an English sloop of war, and after making a variety of signals, none of which were answered, the Briton suddenly fired a broad side into her, which being returned by the American, the other went instantly to the bottom. It is supposed the sloop mistook the frigate for an Indian, and by this manoeuvre expected to capture her. (Alexandria Espositor)
We are favoured with the following account of the death of BOWLES, by a friend who received it from a passenger, late from the Havannah.
The celebrated partisan Major Bowles, died in the cells of Moro Castle, Havannah, early in the last month. He was a brother to the famous Carrington Bowles, of Print Shop Memory, on Ludgate Hill, London. The Maj. had lived so long among the Canadian tribes of Indians, as to become more than half savage himself. Long employed by the American ministers, and their American governors, he had perpetrated a number of mischiefs and cruelties, on the peaceful and defenceless frontier inhabitants of the United States; went to England for a few years, after the revolutionary war; was again noticed and employed, and but a few years back, was landed out of a British sloop of war, on the shores of the Bay of Mobile, made his way towards their Southern frontier, and after alternately committing many excels on the subjects of the United States, urging the savages to war, and committing open hostilities against the Spaniards, he was betrayed and taken up by a party of his fellow savages, delivered to the Spanish Commandant, who soon had him confined in the Moro Castle. He was there shut out from light or air, and fed upon bread and water only, until being deprived of all hope of delivery, he refused any kind of sustenance whatever, and died in April 1806. (Petersburg Intelligencer)
Extract of a letter, dated Natchitoches, 17th March, 1806. "We are likely to have a brush with the Spaniards, in this quarter, in consequence of a small parcel of land being claimed by the two governments, situate between Natchitoches and the river Sabine; neither party being disposed to relinquish their jurisdiction, are about to try which is the strongest—In a former letter, I informed you Captain Turner had driven a small party of soldiers from this side the Sabine river; they were much mortified at being obliged to move, and have since collected between 4 and 500 men, at a little town called Nacogdoches, 130 miles west of this place, from whence they have notified Major Poinsett of their intention to resume their former posts, one of which is only 6 miles distant from this place: the Major has in consequence, sent out a detachment
of 60 men, under the command of Capt. Johnston, to prevent the Spaniards from occupying any part, on this side of the river, or, if possible, to prevent their crossing; it is conjectured from the disposition of Captain Johnston, (who would almost as soon fight as eat,) that if the Spaniards cross the river, an engagement will ensue—we are not fearful of any ill consequences here, let the issue be what it will." (Virginia Argus)
Extract of a letter from Havannah, dated April 6. "I am surprised to see so much in the United States' papers, respecting the political relations between the United States and Spain. I am confident that one half the Gazette accounts are nothing more than mere fabrication, as I already know some of them to be. It seems to be insinuated, that hostile appearances are manifested by this government; but I assure you, that it is directly the contrary, and that a very pacific disposition is entertained towards the Americans, and there appears to have been nothing of a hostile nature received from the Court of Madrid, and it is the prevailing opinion here, that all differences between the two nations, will be amicably settled."
NORFOLK, May 14. We lately noticed the destruction occasioned by the fire in the Great Dismal Swamp, which we are sorry to learn continues to rage with unabated violence, carrying destruction in every direction.
Intending, if we can procure it, to publish a full and particular account of this conflagration, we shall not at this time state some facts relative to it, nor offer some reflections which they have suggested.
The consequences have been, and still continue to be very seriously felt by the inhabitants residing near the Swamp, the heated atmosphere occasioned by, & the smoke proceeding from such an immense body of fire, have rendered their habitations almost insupportable. These effects have been for some days past, (though in a less degree,) extended to this place and Portsmouth, and at this moment, occasion much inconvenience, and are productive of all the disagreeable sensations which heat and smoke may be supposed to occasion.
At the moment we are writing, and for the last two days, the wind has been to the Southward, which letting the smoke directly on this place, the sun has been only at times visible, and the horizon contracted to not more than a mile distant, often not more than half a mile, and sometimes we have not been able to see three hundred yards.
The Captains who have lately arrived, inform us, that on approaching the land, they experienced great inconvenience, and were exposed to some dangers from the same circumstance, they state, that it was at times so thick from the smoke, that they could not see a mile ahead.
The Pilots also find difficulty in conducting the vessels up and down the river.
A change of wind will relieve the inhabitants of the towns for the present, but nothing but rain, (which is so desirous to be desired, for this and other reasons,) can remedy the mischief effectually.
NEW-YORK, May 16. By the arrival yesterday of the ship Robert Burns, Capt. Waite, in 36 days from Liverpool, the Editors of the New York Gazette have received London papers to the 8th of April—also a file of Lloyd's list.
On the morning of the 8th of April, when the Robert Burns left Liverpool, it was reported, that WAR had been declared against Prussia. Our printed accounts, however, extend no further than the laying on an embargo.
DISPUTE WITH PRUSSIA. LONDON, April 5.
A sloop has been laid upon all Prussian ships, and the Baltic and Tonningen convoys have been detained till further orders.
On Tuesday morning, Mr. G. Jackson, the brother, we believe, of Mr. Francis James Jackson, our Minister at Berlin, arrived at Mr. Fox's office in Downing street, with most important dispatches from Berlin. A Cabinet Council was held soon afterwards.
It has been reported, that Prussia has not only taken possession of Cuxhaven, but that she has expressed a determination to occupy Hamburg, and to co-operate with France in seizing Swedish Pomerania. How far these reports are correct, we know not; but we must infer, that the disposition of the Court of Berlin has assumed a hostile aspect towards this country, from the circumstance of a sloop having been laid yesterday upon all Prussian ships in our ports, as our Deal correspondent has informed us.
DEAL, April 4. This day, at noon, an express arrived at Dover, which was immediately forwarded to Vice Admiral Holloway, who commands in the Downs, and instantly dispatched to Vice Admiral Lord Keith, at Ramsgate, to stop all Prussian vessels of every description, both in Dover, Ramsgate, and the Downs, as well as every other port down the coast!
LONDON, April 8. Report flies, that the Hon. David Erskine, son of Lord Erskine, and member for Plymouth, is shortly to proceed in a special diplomatic character to Am-
rica, to arrange the differences existing between us and the United States.
VIENNA, February 16. Prince Charles has erased General Mack's name from the list of Generals, and his employment as chief of the staff has been conferred on General Meyer, who enjoys the particular confidence of the Archduke.
PHILADELPHIA, May 25. On Sunday last, the Gaen, Steamship, in 37 days from London, arrived at Boston—This ship brings us papers from our London correspondent, to the 10th inst. They announce the arrival at different ports of a number of British vessels, from Embden, &c. &c. some with cargoes and some in ballast; also, a number of Prussian vessels sent in by their cruisers.
By a letter received in New-York, from a respectable manufacturing house in Scotland, it appears that the late proceedings of Congress, relative to the non-importation of certain articles of British manufacture, had created in much inquietude among the exporters of goods to this country, that a great quantity packed up and ready for shipping, had been stopped until more satisfactory information was received, as to the intention of the American government.
WASHINGTON CITY, May 21. Capt. Cutter, arrived at Portland, from Martinico, (which he left about the 20th inst.) informs, that he saw Trinidad papers, received there the day before he sailed, which say, that Miranda had taken Margarita, Cumana, Barcelona, and Caraccas—that immediately after landing, he was joined by 16,000 Colonists—that the current report was, the United States were at war with Spain, and that the expedition was fitted out by the United States government. Barcelona and Cumana surrendered without resistance.
