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 pastureage is excellent for raising flock of all kinds, as it has a plenty of cane brakes, and peavines. All along the river is the sugar tree, wild cherry, and other woods common to this country. When you go back some distance, is the pine; which produces tar, turpentine, pitch and rosin; which will finally be valuable, independent of the wood that is upon the land. There is also a rock close to low water mark; that when the water is very low, shews clear salt upon its surface; and the rock itself tastes salt. There has been three water-witches (as they call them,) trying the experiment, and say, there is four feet square of very salt water at the top of the bank, which is not an hundred feet from the water; and close to it a very easy ascending hill, for several miles; and also the wood along the river. A coal bank within three hundred yards. There is also five valuable coal banks, which are near the river, with easy access to them. A coal yard and boat yard; and it is said, several salt-petre caves. The bottoms and along the creeks would produce good cotton or hemp. Lexington alone, independent of the country blacksmiths, consumes thirteen thousand bushels per annum. we will suppose Frankfort five thousand, which falls at the landing at one shilling per bushel, and twenty thousand might be sold: this might be made productive by a man of small capital. Independent of these advantages, the mouth of the three forks is the best fishing place in the State. In a small crib they can get five hundred pounds of fish in a day, and may get by a seam, five or seven hundred barrels per annum. Tobacco, flour, beef, pork, callow, 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.

GENERAL MIRANDA Was born in Mexico: for his colleague Dumourier, commits an error when he terms him a Peruvian. Notwithstanding the jealousy with which the Spaniards were accustomed to treat the native Americans, this Gentleman found means to obtain a Colonel's commission, and was employed by the Governor of Guatemala, in several confidential situations. He is thought very early in life, to have entertained the generous resolution of his emancipating his countrymen from thralldom; and to this is attributed his precipitate retreat from New Spain. Since that time, he has been almost literally a WANDERER. In the course of his travels, he has visited every part of Europe, and resided more than once in England. Being possessed of taste, learning & a classical style, he was able to collect and narrate a variety of anecdotes and observations, relative to the manners, policy, laws, learning, and above all, the military establishments of every nation.
No sooner had the French revolution taken place, and a foreign war became inevitable, than he repaired to Paris from St. Petersburg, where he was in great favour with the Empress, who endeavoured, but in vain, to attach him to her person and service. By means of Petition, he obtained the rank of Major-General, and very ably and effectually seconded the efforts of Dumourier at Belgium. Being an excellent engineer, he displayed great military science in the art of attack; in short, he soon became respected in the army, and popular in the capitol.
When the hero of Jemappé penetrated into Holland, he was appointed to the command of the troops destined to attack Maastricht; the attempt proved abortive; but as this evidently proceeded from the negligence of the General at the head of the covering army, his laurels were not blighted by the event. The conduct of Dumourier, as soon as he began to experience a reverse of fortune, became suspicious; and his frequent conferences with the Austrian General, which ended at length in his entire defection, rendered all the army jealous of him. Miranda instantly communicated his fears to his friend Petion, at that time a member of the committee of public safety, and orders were soon after issued to arrest the commander in chief. This circumstance saved the life of Miranda: for Dumourier had attributed the loss of the battle of Neuwiden to him, and still blames him in his history. To this, the other has made a reply, equally able and animated. No sooner had the party of the Gironde been overwhelmed by the energies of the mountain, than Miranda was imprisoned. He was liberated at the general jail delivery on the execution of Robespierre; took an active part against the sections of Paris during the last insurrection, and was once more put under arrest, and driven into exile.
Miranda was introduced at Cherfon, to the late Empress, by Prince Potemkin, who presented him at the same time to the Emperor Joseph, and he was treated with great respect by both, and the former in particular, offered him many favours.

METHOD OF EXTINGUISHING FIRE. While our feelings are awake to the distress of others, whose sufferings are occasioned by those dreadful fires we read of in this and other countries, let me thro' the medium of your useful paper, call the public attention to a cheap and easy method of extinguishing the greatest flame by the application of pot-ash. The first time I tried the experiment, was at the fire which happened some years ago in this place, at the foot of the Highland clove: the roof had fallen in before I was prepared, but the flames were very high extending over the adjoining houses as the wind directed, and threatening the destruction of the whole street of Broad close. It was midnight; but the streets were so lighted that a pin might have been discerned. The impregnated water was no sooner thrown in, than all was darkness and smoke; the fire was completely extinguished. On another occasion afterwards, when the new sugar house was on fire, the same application was made, and though late as in the former case, and not until considerable loss
was sustained, and with the same success the fire was subdued, and much remaining property preserved. The workmen at this last place who had taken home some of the broken wood for fuel, were not a little surprised to find that it would not burn. It had all, more or less, got a dash of alkaline water.
That the public may see what a simple process it is, I will mention the method adopted on these occasions. At one end of the fire engine a large tub was placed, into which all the water was thrown; and from it was raised by two men, one on each side, with buckets, the engine was supplied. To the tub was attached a barrel of sweated American pot ash; and put under the charge of one man, who by handspikes continued liberally to throw the ashes into the water, where they soon dissolved.
I am obliged to be particular, hoping thereby to induce others to make the same trial, and if they should be as successful, I hope they will make it public. There may be other, and perhaps more effectual methods for extinguishing fire. A good cook maid may for instance, tell us that common salt is applied to a bold fire, when dressing a beef steak. But I only mention what I know, & have witnessed, and which I recommend most earnestly to be tried, until something better is found out. It costs little, while the benefit is incalculable; and to insure success, a barrel of pot-ash, and a tub, ought to be attached to every fire engine, to be ready on the first alarm.
BALTIMORE, March 3. The Editor renders a tribute of his warmest thanks, to the commercial friend, who politely furnished him with two distinct printed sheets, the contents of both, in French & Italian, of which, the following are translated copies. The paper on which they are printed, bears the French stamp, and they appear to have been intended for general circulation. They were received by the late arrival of the Paragon at this port, from Leghorn and Malaga:—She left the former place the 14th December, and the latter the 15th January.
BLOODY BATTLE OF THE SECOND DECEMBER, BETWEEN THE FRENCH AND ALLIED FORCES.
(Translated for the American.) Copy of a letter from Marshal Berthier, Minister of war, and Major-General of the Grand Army, to Marshal Massena.
PORTOPIZ, 13th Frimaire, (3d Dec.) year 14th.
I am impatient Marshal, to send you back your aid-de-camp, to announce to you the brilliant victory which we have just gained over the Russian army. They were drawn out in array before us, to the number of 80,000 men, of which 15,000 were Austrians. On the 10th they made a motion in their left wing to attack us, and to surround our right. It was evident they meditated an attack on the 11th. The Emperor, as usual with him, prevented this, by himself commencing the attack at the break of day. The battle lasted from 8 o'clock in the morning, to 5 in the evening. The Russian army was entirely destroyed; 25,000 prisoners taken; 15,000 killed, and 120 pieces of cannon taken possession of. The guards of the Russian Emperor were attacked by those of the Emperor Napoleon—They were entirely discomfited; the Colonel and one third of their officers taken; the standard bearer, all their artillery, and in fine the whole body of the guards, as well horse as foot, to the amount of 5,000 men, were entirely cut to pieces. Almost all the Russian Generals have fallen into our hands. The Emperors of Russia and Austria had the greatest difficulty to save themselves across the marshes. A considerable quantity of men, stopped by the marshes of a lake, into which they threw themselves, were drowned, experiencing the same fate as the Turks, who threw themselves into the sea, at the battle of Aboukir. Our troops are now pursuing the remains of this army, once so arrogant. For further details, your aid-de-camp will relate to you what he has seen and heard. I have but hardly time, Marshal, to write to you thus briefly, as you know we have few moments to spare. I have received the letter in which you informed
me of your junction with General Marmont. The Major General, (Signed) M. BENTHIER. A true copy, M. MASSENA. A true copy, General of division, VERDIER.
Extract of a letter from his Excellency Monsieur De Beaubarnois, Minister Plenipotentiary of the French Empire, at the Court of Etruria, to M. Verrier, General of division, dated Florence, 18th Frimaire, 14th year, at 1 o'clock in the morning.
A letter from the Minister of Exterior Relations, dated Vienna, the 12th Frimaire, informs me, my dear General, of the grand victory gained by our august Sovereign, on the day of his anniversary: the three Emperors being present. The guard of the Emperor Napoleon attacked that of the Emperor of Russia, took his Colonel, one third of the officers, all the artillery, and cut the rest to pieces.
The French troops are now pursuing the remains of the Russian and Austrian army. The field of battle was at Austerlitz.
Napoleon, our august Sovereign, is well, and was every where present. Good bye, and love me. FRAN. DE BEAUBARNOIS. P. S. The bulletins will arrive by the Couriers. A true copy. General of division, VERDIER.

WASHINGTON CITY, March 7
Our readers will perceive, by our journal of congressional proceedings, that the great national question at issue with Great Britain, has at length seriously engaged the attention of the house of representatives.
On Wednesday the house resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the state of the union, when Mr. Gregg's resolution for a non-importation of British goods was taken into consideration. As we shall give this debate, at as early a period as possible, and very much in detail, we shall at present but briefly notice its character.
It was opened by Mr. Gregg, the mover of the resolution, who took a rapid view of the outrages, insults and oppressions of Britain, which appeared to him to be parts of a system deliberately planned, & which would probably be perseveringly adhered to, unless the United States should make a decided and spirited stand against them. A non-importation of her goods, a measure altogether pacific, appeared to him the best instrument of recalling her to a sense of her true interest.
Mr. J. Clay followed. He allowed, in their full extent, the outrage and injustice of Britain; but he feared that the contemplated measure, so far from inflicting any serious injury on her, would react more injuriously on ourselves, and that it could not for any length of time be adhered to. He declared himself in favor of measures, which though apparently less energetic, would, by forming a part of a permanent and practicable system, prove more efficacious.
Mr. Crowninshield took the same ground with Mr. Gregg. He said the outraged honour and violated interests of the country demanded efficient measures, not of a warlike character, but such as would convince Britain that much as we valued her friendship, we would no longer submit to the degradations accumulated upon us. He was for peace. He believed the present measure eminently calculated to maintain it. Not that he was afraid of war from the effects it would produce. For in war we should be more than a match for Britain. We should make more captures, her provinces would fall, and the debts of her subjects would be at our mercy.
Mr. J. Randolph rose in reply about 2 o'clock, and continued on the floor till 5 o'clock. He pronounced the resolution a war measure, pushed
forward by a spirit of mercantile avarice, calculated in its effects at once to expose the United States in her most vulnerable point, on the ocean; to aid the gigantic strides of Bonaparte, by making France mistress of the ocean; to translate her from the ground on which it became her to stand, and to carry her into maritime contests; and to endanger her liberties and the constitution.
On Thursday the debate was again resumed at noon, by Mr. N. Williams, who spoke in favor of the resolution.
He was followed by Mr. Masters on the opposite side.
Mr. Smith spoke next in favour of the resolution; which the debate was closed for the day by Mr. J. Randolph, about 4 o'clock.
FROM THE NEW-YORK GAZETTE.
HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
We have it from authority not to be doubted, that on Saturday last, Samuel G. Ogden Esq., and Colonel Smith, of the custom house, and others, were arrested by order of Government, and taken before the district judge, to answer such queries respecting the destination of the ship Leander, as might be put to them on oath. At first, Mr. Ogden refused to answer certain questions; but on being threatened with commitment, he proceeded; and as astonishing and incredible as it may appear, Mr. Ogden's answers went directly to implicate the government of the United States, in fixing out the Leander—that General Miranda not only had interviews with Mr. Madison on the subject, but also with the President of the United States. From this it then appears, that if Government have not sanctioned this mysterious expedition with closed doors, yet they have permitted it with closed eyes. Here is room for a volume of comments; but we leave this to abler pens.
Messrs. Lang and Turner,
I observe in your paper of this morning, a paragraph, stating that I was on Saturday last arrested by order of the government, and examined before the District Judge, respecting the destination of the ship Leander, &c.
The paragraph further states, that my answers went "directly to implicate the government of the U. States, in the fixing out of the Leander."
I think it my duty to state, that in this particular, you have been misinformed.
That I was arrested by order of Judge Talmadge, in a manner which I understand to be perfectly illegal, forcibly detained the whole day, denied the privilege of counsel, and obliged to answer questions which I conceived improper and illegal, is most certain; but in respect to the government, I acted with extreme caution, I was not so much pressed on this head as on others.

NAVAL ENGAGEMENT.
DESTRUCTION OF THE FRENCH FLEET.
By the brig America, arrived yesterday from the city of St. Domingo, the following important intelligence has been received:
On the 21st of January, a French Fleet under command of Admiral SLEGLE, from Brest, arrived at the city of St. Domingo, and landed 600 troops—they consisted of the
L'Imperial, 134 Guns.
Jupiter, 74
Diomed, 74
Comet, 36
Corvette Diligence, 22
An on the 19th, arrived (in addition) the
Le Brave, 84
L'Alexandre, 74
Felicité, 44
They remained at anchor till the 6th of February, when an English Fleet of 11 sail, hove in sight; 9 of which were of the line; reported to be under the command of Adm. Cochrane*—The British Fleet immediately attacked the French, who, finding themselves so situated as rendered all attempts to escape fruitless, being completely hemmed in, made a desperate and valiant resistance; but owing to the superior force of the British, the engagement ended with the capture of three, and the total destruction of two of the largest of the French
* This must be a mistake, as Cochrane has no fleet under his command, according to the latest accounts. We presume it was Admiral Duckworth, who has been reported to have passed St. Thomas with 11 sail; it was supposed, in search of the French, who were then at St. Domingo.
ships—among the latter of which was, the Admiral's ship, which was driven ashore and lost.
On the 8th of February, another British Fleet of 13 sail, appeared off St. Domingo, and remained there two days.
We learn from a respectable Gentleman, that the upper decks of L'Imperial blew up when the sunk, about 7 miles from the city; and that 700 souls perished on board. She is just off the stocks, and was thought to be the finest ship in the French Navy.
PHILADELPHIA, March 6.
The object of the expedition of the ship Leander, and the circumstances attending her equipment, continue to be impenetrable mysteries. On these interesting subjects we have published several speculations, and are daily receiving others. Such of these as may appear to us entitled to public consideration, shall be inserted as we have room and convenience.
To every American the subject must be deeply interesting; and we most fervently hope, in behalf of our country, and the administrators of its government, that the dishonorable surmises which are afloat may prove totally unfounded. For the present we will not commit to paper our own impressions.
CHARLESTON, February 21.
Captain Cook, of the brig Industry, who arrived yesterday, in 57 days from Marseilles, informs, that the day before he left that city, accounts were received from the grand army of France, giving details of the action called that of the three Emperors, which stated, that the French were completely victorious. He brought no newspapers. Captain Cook adds that this was the current news of the day, and that full credit was given to it.

AMERICAN SEAMEN IMPRESSED. Extract of a letter from Mr. Seth Barton son of Col. David Barton, of this town, dated
FUNCHALL (Madeira) Sept. 21, 1805.
"Honored Parent,
I suppose you have been informed of my misfortune. We sailed from Rio de la Plata, in the ship Mary-Ann, captain Cory of Providence, on the 3d of December, and were captured in the English Channel by his Britannic Majesty's ship Polyphemus, of 64 guns, capt. Lawson. We then being under Spanish colors, they took all the Spanish seamen out who were made prisoners of; and we Americans, who had good protections, made slaves. We had the misfortune to be on board the Polyphemus about 5 months before we got into England; and when we arrived at Plymouth, we wrote to the American consul in London, and to the vice consul at Plymouth, from whom we got an answer, that captain Cory had made application for our discharges—but before the consul could do anything for us, they sent us on board the Raisonnable 64, captain Rowly, and in her carried us to sea—I was in their service 6 months and 19 days: and the Raisonnable touching at the island of Madeira, on the 20th of August, between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning, I swam from her and had the good fortune, through my maker's divine pleasure, to get safe on shore, with one pair of trowsers, one shirt, a handkerchief, and my protection, with which I went to Mr. Lemarr, the American consul, and that gentleman received me in a fatherly manner, gave me clothes, and sent me to live in his house, until he could procure a passage for me.
"I left on board five of my countrymen, and old shipmates in the Mary-Ann, viz:—Charles Fenner Bowen, of Providence, nephew to doctors William & Pardon Bowen; John Gorton Olin; Thomas Rice Green, & Benjamin Hatch. I left likewise Thomas Wood, of Stonington. I am sure they never will be liberated unless by the interference of the government of the United States."

THE STUD, of the late col. John Hoomes, consisting of imported and country bred Stallions, Brood Mares, and their produce, for several years past—total about one hundred head. This is certainly the most numerous, and probably the best selected Stud ever before offered at public auction in this country; as it is well known, that the late owner spared neither money or exertion, in procuring both at home and abroad, such stock as appeared most certain to insure him success, as a breeder. To gentlemen who may feel a disposition to engage immediately in the sports of the turf, several fine three and four year olds could be highly recommended, for size, blood and figure. Should any of the stud horses be farmed out for the approaching spring, the sale of such, will be postponed, until the expiration of the season. The other stock will be sold without reserve.

I'm mad—resign the fluttering kiss! For what?—for dull connubial bliss? Why not the Bee, in bondage bind, His wild, eccentric flights of mind? 'Tis wisdom not—or sure therose, Would e'er by wanton tho't compose. Think how the Florian Goddess blushes, When eager to her charms, he rushes! 'Tis nought to him—he's true awhile! Then courts the pink, with am'rous smile. Then why should I, less wise than he, Give all my tender tho'ts to thee? 'Tis Nature swells his glowing veins, 'Tis Nature holds the loosen'd reins. Shall the dull chords of social school These ever-changing passions rule! No,—no, in spite of Solon's art, I'll still retain a gen'ral heart! To wed—to hear a circled round, Of one dull, cloying, hateful sound. Then chance may send a—smiling boy! The father's wish—the mother's joy! Then—how!—shall each in union claim, A rising int'rest to his fame! I've wrong'd thee myhen, peaceful God, I'm subject to thy courting rod: I can no longer doubt,—or party—I will—I must—I'm bound to marry. ST. NICHOLAS.

Be it further enacted, That all lands shall be rated and classed in the manner following; that is to say, first, second, and third rates; and the rule to be observed is, that when a greater part of any tract shall be supe-ior in quality to second rate land, it shall be denominated first rate; when a greater part of a tract shall be inferior in quality to first rate, and superior to third rate, it shall be denominated second rate; and when a greater part of a tract shall be inferior to second rate, it shall be denominated third rate land, taking into view the situation and quality of the soil. First rate land shall be taxed at the rate of ninety cents, second rate sixty-five cents, and third rate forty cents, each per hundred acres.
Sec. 3.
