The imported Stallion
Speculator,
WILL stand the ensuing season, which will commence the 1st day of March, and end the first day of August next, at the farm of John Breckinridge, esq. near Lexington, in Kentucky, and may cover mares at ten dollars the leap, to be paid at the stable door; twenty-four dollars the season, to be discharged any time before the first day of August, by the payment of twenty dollars; and forty dollars to ensure a mare to be with foal, to be returned if such should not be the case, if the mare remains the property of the person who put her to the horse; with one dollar to the groom in every instance. Attested notes for the season, and insurance to be sent with the mares.
SPECULATOR
is now rising nine years old, is a very handsome horse, near sixteen hands high, a fine bay with as many good running points as any horse on the continent, and is well calculated to get either excellent race, saddle or carriage horses; and has established himself to be a most capital stallion, as may be seen by his colts, which are now rising one year old—his blood is unexceptionable, and of the purest kind, as may be seen by his
PEDIGREE.
SPECULATOR was bred by the Duke of Bedford, and got by his favorite Italian Dragon, (now in Virginia, and covered 145 mares last season, at ten guineas per mare) who was son to Woodpecker, his dam by King Herod, a sister to Florizel, Bourdeaux, and Sting, and the dam of Portia, Narcissa, Jessica, and Tarantula; his grand dam by Cysnet, who was got by the Godolphin Arabian; his great grand dam by Cartouch, a very capital stallion; his great great grand dam Ebony, by Childers, out of old Ebony, by Balto, who was got by the Byerly Turk, out of Bay Peg, by the Leeds Arabian.
PERFORMANCES.
SPECULATOR has been a capital running horse—In 1798 he won once, being the only time on the turf that year—in 1799, being then four years old, at the New-Market Craven meetings, he beat Mr. Watson's Young Magpie, for 100 guineas—at New-Market Second spring meeting, he beat Lord Sackville's famous horse Sober Robin, for 50 guineas—at the same meeting he won a handicap plate, of 50 guineas each, beating six good horses, among which was the celebrated horse Aimator; the same day he received 41 1-2 guineas forfeit from Mr. Heathcote's Opposition—at the July New Market meeting he beat Mr. Cullen's Young Speck, for 100 guineas, 7 to 4 on Speculator; at Brighton he won a handicap plate (the new course) 50 guineas each, beating Combatant, Alcot, Mr. Wyndham's horse by Fidget, Cypress, Sifter, Midnight, Play or Pay, and Opposition; at New-Market first October meeting, he walked over for a sweep stake of
50 guineas each, Bollenamuck and Combatant fearing to run against him, paid him a forfeit; at the second October meeting he beat Mr. Wyndham's horse by Fidget, for 50 guineas, 5 and 6 to 4 on Speculator; making eight times he won this year, which is oftener than any other horse won in said year, and came in second, for a handicap plate of 50 guineas each, beating eight good horses, although he carried 7lb more than any horse that started; in 1800 then 5 years old, at New-Market Craven meetings, he beat Mr. Hayworth's Filbert for 100 guineas carrying him 7lbs. at the same meeting he won the great Oatland stakes of 50 guineas each (26 subscribers) bearing Expedition, Wrangler, Herby-Lass, Stamford, Telegraphe, Antrim, and Vandall; all good horses—at the first New-Market spring meeting, he won a sweep stake of 50 guineas each (4 subscribers) carrying 12 Stone 2lbs. (say 170lbs.) beating Lord Burford's Waymoth, with great ease, 7 to 4 on Speculator; at the second spring meeting, he received forfeit of 130 guineas from the Duke of Queensbury's chestnut horse Eggham, carrying him 4 lbs. It must be observed, that the great Oatland stakes is considered among the first races in England; at the end of 1800 he was taken with the dissempor which put an end to his racing; and was then purchased of the Prince of Wales for me; and imported from London last fall. The above pedigree and performances of Speculator, are taken from the general studbook and racing callenders of England; the authority of which has never yet been called in question, and they are always referred as authentic records upon those subjects.
JOHN HOOMES.
Bowling Green, Virginia.
The above horse was at our request sent by John Hoomes esq. to this state, & will stand the ensuing season at the plantation of John Breckinridge, on North-Elkhorn, where very extensive and excellent blue grass pasture, well enclosed and well watered, will be furnished to mares coming at a distance, gratis. The greatest care will be taken of the mares, and corn furnished if required, at the market price; but we will not be liable for escapes or accidents.
Mr. Hoomes has been in the practice for many years, of importing from England, the finest horses which that country produces; and from his character, and our acquaintance with him, the most implicit reliance can be placed in any certificate he gives.
Any person putting seven mares, and becoming responsible, gets one gratis; if the horse stands in the state, and continues the present owner's, those mares that do not prove in foal, have the next year gratis, except the groom's fee.

From the best information I have received, the above prices are not equal to the averaged value of Speculator's colts foaled in 1803—The above list has been indiscriminately taken, and are all that have been personally applied to and listed, I shall continue to procure all I can and add them weekly. I wish to employ a careful white man that can keep the books & assist the groom in taking care of, and feeding the mares. The above list is a true copy.

TO THE EDITORS.
Gentlemen, As soon as there appeared reason for believing that the House of Representatives intended to adjourn, without preferring articles before the Senate, in support of the impeachment voted against me, the inclosed memorial was prepared, and transmitted (on Saturday last) to a
member, with a request, that he would present it, if such an intention should be ascertained to exist. On last Monday, the morning of the day previously fixed for adjournment by a joint resolution of both houses, articles of impeachment were reported by the committee; but it was clearly impossible for the house to act upon them; nor does the time until which they were kept back, leave the least room for supposing that the committee who made the report, intended that they should be acted upon before adjournment.
But whatever may have been the intention with which they were reported, at such a time, the effect undoubtedly will be, that they will pass into the public prints, under the sanction of a committee of congress, and even under the apparent sanction of the house itself; and that as they contain the most aggravated and inflamed construction, which it was possible for passion and party-spirit to put on the ex-parte evidence, whereon the vote of impeachment was founded, they will become a very powerful engine in the hands of calumniators and party zealots, for heightening to the utmost the prejudices and odium, which all the former proceedings in this case are so well calculated to excite.
The report of these articles presented the memorial from being presented; the member to whom it was sent having been of opinion, that the case, in which it was my wish to have it presented, did no longer exist. But as these articles have not been adopted by the house, or even considered; as they must be taken up at the next session, and may then be rejected, or wholly varied; as the charges which I am to answer and against which I ought to have been placed in a situation to prepare for defending myself, are thus left in the same state of uncertainty as before the report, and as this report far from accomplishing the object which the memorial seeks, can have no other effect than to encrease and aggravate the injuries whereof it complains; I deem it proper now to make it public as an appeal to my country, to the world and to posterity, against the injustice and illegality of the proceedings in this case, and as a solemn protest against the principles on which they are founded. I therefore request that you will please to insert it with this letter in your useful and respectable paper.
That it may be seen that my impression of the articles reported by the committee is not erroneous, I enclose a copy of them, and request that you will insert them after the memorial. It is proper to state that four (I believe) of the five members of the committee who reported the articles, were the same members who collected and reported the testimony; and that fourteen days elapsed between the time when this committee was ordered to report articles, and the time when the report was actually made. This fact will assist in forming a judgement as to the views with which it was kept back until the last day of the session. Had the report been made sooner, as it might easily have been, the articles might have been rejected by the house; or might at least have been deprived, by amendments, of part of their wanton venom and abuse.
I am, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, SAMUEL CHASE. Baltimore, March 29, 1804.
Judge Chase requests the editors of all the news-papers in the United States to insert his letter and memorial, and the articles of impeachment reported by the committee.
To the Hon. the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES of the UNITED STATES.
The memorial of Samuel Chase, one of the associate justices of the Supreme Court of the United States.
WITH the respect due to a branch of the government of his country; but with the frankness which conscious and injured innocence has a right to assume, and which an early, zealous, and constant supporter of American liberty ought to use; your memorialist approaches your honorable body, to lay his complaints at your feet, and to call on your justice for redress.
He has delayed this step until so late a period of the session, because he still indulged the hope, that your honorable body would not adjourn, without reducing the charges against him to some specific form; so that he might be enabled to know of what he is accused, and to direct his attention immediately to the means necessary for proving his innocence, and vindicating his character. But finding at last, that an adjournment
is about to take place, without anything of this kind being done; that a vote of impeachment, resting on no precise or specific charges or facts, and supported only by exparte testimony, is about to be left hanging, for a whole year, over his head; and that the publication of this testimony is permitted, in such a way as to render it most injurious to his reputation, without leaving to him the possibility of combating it by counterproof; his duty to that character, which he has supported unimpeached, during a period of forty years, through all the troubles, difficulties and dangers of the American revolution: to his family, whose happiness, respectability, and establishment in life, are materially implicated in whatever concerns his good name; to his country, which has honored him with many high and important trusts; to his office, which requires a reputation not only unspotted but ununsuspected; and to himself—forbids him to remain longer in silence.
He therefore respectfully solicits and intreats, that your honorable body will not suffer an adjournment to take place, until articles of impeachment shall have been preferred against him. Thus, although an immediate trial, which his feelings would lead him to prefer, may not be possible at this protracted period of the session, still he will be enabled, knowing the precise charges against him, to make vigorous, speedy and effectual preparations for his defence, to repel the malignant calumnies by which he is industriously and unceasingly assailed, and fully to vindicate that innocence, for which he solemnly appeals to the Almighty searcher of hearts, to the testimony of his own conscience, to his country, and to an impartial posterity. He is far from arrogating to himself an exemption from the usual portion of human frailty: But for the purity of his intentions, for the uprightness of his conduct, and for the faithful and conscientious discharge of his official duty, on all occasions, according to the best lights of his understanding; he confidently appeals to that dread Tribunal where he and his accusers must one day appear, where the inmost recesses of all hearts shall be laid open, the most hidden motives of conduct shall be revealed, and calumny, malice, and party rage, shall forever be put to silence.
He is the more strongly induced to urge this request, and to express his earnest hope that it will not be refused, by those reflections which it has not been in his power to avoid making, on the course hitherto pursued in this prosecution.
(To be continued.)
LONDON February 23. Four of the East India ships on their way out, the lord Hawkebury, Airy Castle, Duke of Montrose, and Worcester, are ordered to touch at Jamaica. We are informed that the intention of government is, they shall carry out to Ceylon two regiments of negroes now in the West Indies. The late disasters in Ceylon have rendered it necessary to send reinforcements there to defend ourselves; and it is thought that the black regiments, which would be so disagreeable to the West India planters, may be extremely useful in the beetle-nut war against the king of Candy.
As to the policy of the war in Candy, we believe that there are few, indeed, who do not consider it more than questionable. Whatever plausible arguments may be used to palliate our perpetual encroachment on the native powers of the continent, it is confessed we had no motive of policy to seek enlargement of territory in Ceylon.
February 26. Advices of a most important nature have been received from Admiral Cornwallis. Their contents are to the following purport: That Admiral Cornwallis had received an overland express through Spain, from Admiral Lord Nelson, stating, that the French fleet from Toulon had failed; and that his lordship, at the moment of writing, was in pursuit of it.
Of the circumstances that had favored the sailing of the enemy, we have not been informed, nor have we learnt where his lordship's dispatches were first landed, but we think it probable they would be sent to Barcelona, or some neighbouring port, whence they could easily be conveyed overland to Ferrol.
Similar dispatches have been received from Sir E. Pellew, Bart. dated Batancos Bay, the 16th inst. Letters from the squadron under his command state, that the enemy was seen by a neutral steering towards Naples.
March 3. We are enabled to state that reasonable hopes are entertained, that his Majesty will be able to resume the full exercise of his Royal functions in a few days. That is to say, such is the confident report in the Ministerial circles.
Notwithstanding what was stated in most of the papers of yesterday, there is some reason to believe that the Toulon squadron had failed, and consequently, that it has been pursued and attacked by Lord Nelson. The dispatches received from his Lordship on Wednesday, were dated so far back as the 20th of January.

Yesterday further accounts were received from the Noble Admiral of some days later date, brought by Mr. Falcon, our late Consul at Algiers, who arrived on Tuesday at Falmouth in the Town-bend packet from Lisbon. Mr. Falcon left Lord Nelson cruising off Toulon, the French force being then in harbour consisting of ten sail of the line and several smaller vessels. At Lisbon Mr. Falcon heard a report of their having failed, but of this he did not encourage any belief.
Last night a rumour was once more circulated, of an insurrection having broke out in Paris, in consequence of the excessively high price of provisions, and an attempt having been made to assassinate the First Consul. We merely mention this report as it reached us, without attaching to it much credit.
PHILADELPHIA, April 6. European advices. —An arrival at Beverly from France, has furnished the latest advices from the continent of Europe; and two arrivals at N. York from England furnish news from that country to the 3d March, 9 days later than the accounts heretofore received. From France direct we hear that at the close of the month of February several expeditions of gun boats had sailed from Bourdeaux and other ports for Flushing, one of the principal depots for the invading forces; these boats were from 60 to 90 tons burden, pole-top-mast and very heavily rigged, some having but one, others two pieces of heavy artillery: the preparations, in all respects, were immense; in consequence of the scarcity of seamen, commissions to privateers were no longer issued.
April 3. Our latest accounts, from the Mediterranean, inform that commodore Preble was about to depart for Tripoli, with his squadron composed of large and small vessels, in order to make some attempt by force to re-take the frigate Philadelphia, or procure favorable terms for the crew of that vessel.
April 6. Capt. Mentor, arrived at Boston on the 28th ult. from Alicante, informs that all the officers of the United States frigate Philadelphia, 17 in number had been liberated through the spirited interference of the French consul at that place; and that 15 or 20 of the crew had found means to make their escape from servitude, by taking possession of a boat, and putting to sea.

On the ground floor are five rooms with fire places of the following dimensions, viz. One front room, 22 feet by 22. One ditto 22 by 17. One back room, 17 by 17. One ditto 17 by 15, and one do. 17 by 11. On the second floor are four rooms, viz. One 23 by 22, and one 17 by 15, both with fire places: One 26 by 9 (in which the stairs land), and one other 15 by 9; (the two last have no fire places) making in the whole nine commodious rooms, seven of which have fire places.
A BRICK SPRING HOUSE, 26 feet by 10, in the floor of which rises 30 beams of very cold water, and which never fails in the driest season. A HEWN LOG STABLE, 20 by 12, a FRAMED CARRIAGE HOUSE, with a Room for faddles and harness, &c. a Necessary, &c.
In the back yard is a never-failing SPRING of cold water, exclusive of what rises in the spring house, and is equal to any in the state. About half the lot was originally wet and unfit for cultivation, but has been reclaimed by laying on it upwards of 500 loads of choice soil, and is now in excellent condition for a garden.
The stand for business is equal to any in this place, it being situated in the most frequented part of the town and contiguous to the Market and Court Houses, and with a trifling expense may, to a man of taste and tolerable address, be made not only the most convenient, but by far the most profitable house of Entertainment in the state, and equal to any in the United States.
For terms apply to the subscriber on the premises.

LEXINGTON, APRIL 24. We are authorised to state, says the Western American , that the Hon. BUCKNER THRUSTON will be a candidate at the ensuing election, to serve in the Senate of the United States.
We are authorised to state that the Rev. George S. Smith , of Jessamine, and Hubbard Taylor esq. of Clarke county, are candidates for Electors to choose a President and Vice-President of the United States.
Our London dates are to the 30 March, five days later than before received. The report of the sailing of the Toulon fleet is neither contradicted or finally confirmed: although some accounts state that Lord Nelson had fallen in with it and succeeded in capturing several vessels. The king of England is said to be fast recovering from his illness.
Upwards of 2000 well armed French troops with several general officers, who lately escaped from the resentment of the injured Haytians, now triumphantly, free and independent, are encamped near the city of Havanna, and excite no small degree of jealousy, and apprehension in the minds of the feeble Spaniards.
It is asserted, that the British have got possession of the city of St. Domingo with the approbation of the Haytian government. The French troops have been permitted to remove themselves to Cuba. The whole island of Hispaniola is now in possession of the blacks, under the command of Gen. Dessalines first consul for life. Prov. pa.
Advices have lately been received by the executive of the union, from Capt. Lewis, who is on his expedition towards the sources of the Mississippi and Missouri—he and his party were in perfect health—they had spent the winter in the Kaskaskia country. The public may promise themselves much information, on very interesting subjects, from this undertaking.— Aurora.

From our late London papers.
Last month we inserted from the Liverpool papers an account of some large importations of gold and silver specie from Philadelphia, chiefly the coins of the United States. We are glad to say it still continues from different ports of America into Liverpool, so that we shall be able to import the gold and silver Eagles of America, as fast as the mint of the U. S. can coin them. The importation of British goods in America is still increasing, and the exchange is five per cent in favour of Britain. We are happy to inform our readers that the Glasgow manufacturers have also received remittance of late from America, in gold and silver Eagles. The following we extract from a Glasgow paper: "Arrived the Sarah, Capt. Snowden, from Charleston with 650 bags of cotton, and 19 boxes of specie; the boxes of gold and silver are addressed to fundries, all manufacturers in Glasgow."

DO hereby forewarn all persons from buying, or taking any assignment on a bond given by me to Samuel Ettl, bearing date the 18th day of March, 1799, for the conveyance of 350 acres of land, lying in the county of Madison, as I am determined not to pay the same unless compelled by law, as he has failed to comply with his contract. Given under my hand, this 15th day of April, 1804. James Estill.

See Celebrated Imported, and Real bred Turf Horse. Royalist, HAS arrived from New-York, and will stand this season at the same stable with Paymaster, in this place, and also under the direction and management of Mr. Peter Lott. He will be let to mares at the moderate price of 30 dollars, to be discharged at any time before the 1st of September by the payment of 20 dollars; 40 dollars to entitle a foal, to be returned if such should not be the case, if the mare remains the property of the person who put her to the horse, with 1 dollar to the groom for each mare, paid at the stable door. Attested notes for 30 dollars the season and 40 for insurance, to be sent with the mare, payable the 1st of January next.
ROYALIST is a full blooded racer; he was bred by his royal highness the Prince of Wales, and sold to Thomas Bullock esq. who kept him as a racer until he was purchased by Mr. Abraham Skinner, who imported him in the ship James, from England to New-York—He is a beautiful bay, handsomely marked, with a star and snip, 15 hands 3 inches high, well proportioned, fine action, free from all blemishes, and while in England, performed equal to any horse of his age, as may be seen in the racing calenders, which are in the possession of Mr. Lott, free for the perusal of any gentleman. He has stood several seasons in America, and his colts are at least equal to any horse's, and are allowed, by competent judges to bid fair to make excellent racers. JOHN W. HUNT. Lexington, April 20, 1804.

PERFORMANCES. IN 1793, at three years old, the first time he started, he won 400 guineas at New-Market, beating Lord Grosvenor's chestnut Filly, by Pot 8 o's, out of Marianne, and the Duke of Bedford's colt by High-Flyer, out of Conegonde. He started for the Craven stakes, and beat Duke Devil, Agamemnon, Coriander, Seagull, Golden Rod, Fort William and six others. The next time he started, he won a subscription plate for fifty pounds each, beating Patriot, Cymbeline, Brimstone, Robin Gray, and seven others—He also beat the Duke of Bedford's colt by High-Flyer, and the Duke of Norfolk's gray filly by Dungannon, a sweepstakes of 200 guineas each, at four years old—he beat Lord Egremont's aged horse Sea-Gull, a match for 200 guineas, across the flat at New-Market, in 1795—He beat Don Quixotte, Galico, the Duke of Bedford's Cub, and Mr. Durand's Filly, by Saltram, for the Craven stakes, and walked over the course at New-Market for 1200 guineas, and no horse dare start against him. He also beat several others of the most capital horses in England, too tedious to enumerate, but may be seen by the racing calender.

THE PEASANT'S COMPLAINT.
WRITTEN BY A CAROLINIAN.
WHERE beech and maple mix their pleasant shade, In yonder flow'ry and sequester'd glade, Where the smooth streamlet winds its wat'ry way, And feather'd songsters chant the vocal lay: The tot'ring ruins of a cot you see— A cot that once belong'd to hapless me! Then gratefully I hail'd the early dawn, And trac'd with joy the dew beprinkled lawn: While fortune on my labours kindly smil'd, And rural ease each idle hour beguil'd: When I had borne the sultry heats of day, Homeward at eve I trudg'd my weary way, Or in some cooling grot recin'd I lay; And oft I sought the well known tranquil grove, Where cooling turtles tell their faithful loves. Now spurn'd by rigid tyranny from home, Thro' the wide world the child of care I roam; No friend to heal misfortune's bitter smart, Or pour the balm of comfort in my heart; No wife, no child to sooth corroding grief, Or yield me troubled mind a kind relief; Far from these once so joyful scenes they're gone, And left me here a friendless wretch to-morrow.
