STUTTGARD, February 9. Intelligence has been received, that the numerous Austrian prisoners who are in France, have received permission to return home. Several Austrian generals, who were compelled to surrender to the French, are under arrest: it is said they have brought serious charges against general Mack, whose fate will probably be soon decided upon. It is said, that the city of Frankfort, and all that part of the landgraviate of Darmstadt, situated on the left bank of the Mein, will be added to the dominions of the elector of Baden, and that the landgrave of Darmstadt will be indemnified in Westphalia; that the electoral prince of Baden will reside in future at Mannheim; that he will marry a French Princess; and that upon his accession to the government, he will take the title of king.
LONDON, February 24. Government has received advice that the French emperor has issued an instrument, under his sign manual, dated from his palace at St. Cloud, by which he has

formally deposed the King of Naples, in nearly the following terms; "We Napoleon, by the grace of God, Emperor of the French and King of Italy, &c. &c. for divers weighty and sufficient causes, ourselves thereunto specially moving do hereby and henceforth, solemnly depose from the throne and other sovereign authorities of his ancestors, Ferdinand, the king of the two Sicilies, and from all of which princely titles and dignities, he is by virtue of this instrument and our imperial will and mandate, and pleasure, forever removed and deposed accordingly." Given under our hand and imperial signet, &c.
The Hamburg mail which was due yesterday arrived this morning. The courts of St. Petersburg and Constantinople have not been slow in seeing the danger with which they were threatened by the engagement of Napoleon to furnish to the Emperor of Austria an indemnity in the East, for the possessions of which he has deprived him in Germany. They have renewed, for nine years to come, the treaty between them, which was on the point of expiring.
If we may judge from the precautions adopted by Alexander, he seems apprehensive that an attack may be made even on his own territories. Redoubts are calling up at Warsaw, and other arrangements ordered to guard against any attempt of this kind.
The French and Bavarian army, in the neighborhood of Frankfort has been considerably augmented, to enforce the payment of the contribution laid on that city. The inhabitants have a faint hope held out to them, that if they speedily pay one half of the sum demanded the other will be remitted.
The French still continue in force in Germany—and will till more of the schemes in the contemplation of Bonaparte are executed.
Prince Joseph Bonaparte arrived at Rome on the 23d ult.—Massena's army is in full march against the kingdom of Naples. His progress will receive no opposition.
FROM FRENCH PAPERS.
The Monitor of the 17th February, in a note on Lord Castlereagh's speech upon presenting the treaties with foreign powers, contains the following observations:—The note refers to that part of the speech in which he expresses his anxiety to have the treaties undergo parliamentary discussion:—
"Before the discussion shall have commenced, the opinion of the continent will be determined. There will be for the debates of the English parliament to draw all the consequences from this imprudent publication, of which it is susceptible."
"It results from these treaties of co-operation, accession, and coalition, &c."
"1st. That the coalition was decided and concluded in the month of April; that is to say, three months before the territory of Genoa had requested to be united to France."
"2d. That with a simple promise of three millions, intended, according to Lord Castlereagh, for no other purpose than that, "of extending the British power," the armed in her cause Russia and Austria; that as she only disbursed these three millions by monthly installments, she acquired the power of overturning the continent, and of making all its sovereigns act in contradiction to their own interests, of rendering them subservient to her plans, and the orders of her commodaries, without incurring any other expense than the moderate sum of about one million sterling. So far England without doubt had made an excellent calculation."
"3d. That England certainly had not required more than this million sterling to effect this powerful diversion, but that, in so doing, she placed France in a situation to conquer Genoa, Venice and Naples; that she has poured into France upwards of two hundred millions of livres, in contributions—that she has fully established this principle, acknowledged for more than a century throughout Europe—that the alliance of England has always ended in the ruin of those princes who were so imprudent as to accede to it; a principle, the truth of which was confirmed not long ago, by the fate of the stadtholder and the king of Sardinia, and it is also, at this moment, by the misfortunes of Austria, & the fall of the King of Naples; while, on the contrary, the alliance of France, always favorable for the princes who engage in, brings along with it aggrandizement and prosperity; witness Bavaria, Württemberg and Baden,—Should England ever excite a fourth coalition, Austria, who lost Belgium by the first, and the left bank of the Rhine by the second, Tyrol, Suabia, and the Venetian territory by the third, may probably lose her crown by the fourth."
"4th. That the Austrians and Russians who so warmly resisted being in the pay of England, of having even any connection with her imposed upon Europe; that the same man (M. de Stadion) who is at present at the head of the Austrian councils, had already commenced his administration in these scandalous negotiations, that Russia did nothing else but resume the part which she has continually supported for the last fifteen years:—The three coalitions took place under the reigns of three different Russian sovereigns, Catharine,
who possessed genius, suffered herself, notwithstanding, to be drawn into the first; but she restricted herself to plans for inciting the other powers.—Like an able and experienced sovereign, like a monarch who well understood the extent of the influence and the situation of her empire, she was cautious of engaging herself farther."
"When the second coalition took place, Paul ordered his army to march; but on the reverse, he withdrew his troops; he acknowledged his error; he hastened to return to a system, in unison with the interests of his empire; he renewed his connection with France, and restored his policy to its natural situation."
"Alexander, young and inexperienced, fell into all the snares of the English; also wed himself to be seduced by their declamations and their eulogiums; and scoring the example of his predecessor, he overturned whatever good had been done by him. Not content with having sent his armies into Germany, he marched himself. Thus had he an opportunity of seeing with his own eyes the destruction of that phantasm, of that colossus of military reputation Catharine had begun to create, but which she was not the dupe; for she well comprehended the difference which existed between the Russian soldiers and the French people."
"5th. That the most extravagant credulity had subscribed to all these treaties; that they who dictated or prepared them, supposed that the emperor Napoleon had neither eyes, ears, nor judgment: that this army of 500,000 Frenchmen, which all Europe knew could be increased to a million of soldiers, was to remain chained on this side of their boundaries; that their triple row of fortresses, with which the frontiers of France are bristled, contained inhabitants and garrisons for no other purpose than to deliver up the keys of the citadel to the first collectors who should come to demand them; that all these sublime combinations, all these negotiations so far advanced in the month of April, would be consummated and crowned by great results in the month of December. In fact, it was in the month of December that all these great consequences took place, that the emperors of Russia and Germany found themselves too happy, the one to obtain from the emperor of the French the restoration of Vienna & his states, the other to return to St. Petersburg with the feeble remains of his army."
"6th. Finally, that there was but one thing wanting to these powers—to be insulted by England; and in fact, the English government has sufficiently manifested the contempt which she has for her allies, in thus giving to the world secret treaties, the publication of which cannot but be very disagreeable and injurious to the sovereigns who have had the weakness to accede to them. "Out of fourteen articles of these articles," said Lord Castlereagh, "five are of a nature not to be published." This suppression is an additional proof of the perfidy of the cabinet of London. After having discovered so many things which it should have concealed for the honor of its allies, it was unwilling that the imagination should halt. We will make up for its silence, and reveal this grand mystery. The following are the stipulations contained in these five articles:
"Belgium shall be restored to Holland." "The house of Orange shall be reinstated in its dignity of stadtholder." "The fortresses on the Meuse shall be delivered up, as cautionary towns, and garrisoned by Austrians and Russians." "Savoy, and the country of Nice, shall be united to Piedmont." "Finally, if the success should be equal to what is hoped, the city of Lyons is to pass under the domination of the king of Sardinia."
"Must not the British cabinet, and its agents, have possessed extraordinary ability to have given any kind of consistency to such illusions?"

LEXINGTON, MAY 17.
MARRIED, in Frankfort, on Tuesday evening last, Christopher Tompkins, esq. of Muhlenberg county, to Miss Tuedocia Logan, daughter of col. John Logan, Treasurer of Kentucky.
The Western Trader, 410 tons burthen, owned by Mels. Berthoud & Co. failed from the Louisville Lower Landing on Sunday last.
VILLAINY. A letter has been received by the Post-Master at this place from the Post-Master General, dated the 8th April, by which it appears that the Mail has been purloined of letters which were put into the post-office at Louisville, directed to Mr. Henry Schroeder, merchant, Baltimore, one on the 17th December, 1805, containing the moieties of 1505 dollars, in bank notes—one on the 4th February, 1806, containing the moieties of 1402 dollars,—and one other directed to Kennedy & Cox, of Baltimore, containing a draft on Philadelphia, for 2300 dollars, between the 5th and 15th January. Mr. Schroeder's letters to the gentleman who enclosed the notes, have also been suppressed.
In consequence of the receipt of the Post-Master General's letter, Mr. Wm. Jordan proceeded to Louisville, and examined the post-office there, as well as the post-offices on the route between that place and Lexington, without being able to discover any vestiges of the suppressed letters or notes. He has, however, procured and forwarded to the Post-Master General, several certificates, which may probably cause the removal of a post-master in Kentucky.
We understand from a member of congress who arrived in town last evening, that congress adjourned late on Monday night the 23d ultimo.—Dispatches had just been received from Mr. Monroe, stating that he had had an interview with Mr. Fox, who expressed the greatest anxiety to adjust all our differences. In consequence of these dispatches, Mr. William Pinckney of Maryland had been nominated minister to London, and warmly approved by the senate on Monday night. (Enquirer.)
CHARLES STEWART, Esq. of this city, is appointed Post-Captain in the navy of the United States. We understand, he is to have the command of the frigate Chesapeake, to proceed to the Mediterranean. (Philadelphia paper.)
Letters have been received in N. York as late as the 3d Apl from Laguira, at which time the embargo was off, but it was generally supposed it would be laid again should Miranda make his appearance on the coast. There were no apprehensions of Miranda's succeeding, as they had called all the militia from the interior and fortified the principal points. 1b.
REVOLT IN SPANISH AMERICA. Captain Webb, of the brig Eliza, from Maracaibo, informs, that just before he failed, orders had been received from the Governor of Carracas, to have the militia immediately organized, and put in the best state of defence, as a very alarming revolt had taken place in the interior.
A pilot-boat, full of well-armed men, failed on Saturday afternoon in quest of the vessels which have been captured at Sandy-hook by the British frigates, who have commenced an actual blockade without any formal declaration of war. This expedition is undertaken at the expence of several commercial gentlemen, who have also volunteered their services on the occasion.
A large Petiauger, which had failed early on Saturday morning with provisions for the blockading squadron, was intercepted by the above pilot-boat, and compelled to return. The populace assembled at the wharf, lauded the provisions, loaded several cars, therewith, and paraded through some of the principal streets to the Alms-house, where the meat was deposited for the use of the poor.
From the Russian Frontier, Jan. 10.—According to report, a Russian army of 200,000 men is collecting in Lithuania, the headquarters of which are to be at Wilna. It is said that the emperor will shortly repair thither, and to Brest, to review it.
From the Lower Vibe, Feb. 21.—It is said that important negotiations will be opened in Paris in the course of a few weeks, for the conclusion of an offensive and defensive alliance for the term of ten years, between France, Austria, Bavaria and Württemberg.
NAPLES, Feb. 15. The crown prince, to whom the king before his departure, had entrusted the government of the country, had dispatched prince Theodore to prince Joseph, to enter into negotiations with him. A courier is arrived with intelligence, that those negotiations have terminated in smoke; & that
there was nothing more for our royal family to hope or to dispense. This news had made a wonderful impression; all the Lazzaroni, howling with rage, flew to arms; the crown prince has put himself at their head; and a resolution has been taken of defending the country to the last extremity. The brother of the crown prince has set off from Naples, with the view of putting himself at the head of the crown en-masse in Calabria. The French, however, are already on our frontiers; and should this inflammatory determination of resistance continue till the parties come in concert, the most dreadful scenes may be expected to ensue.
LEIPZIG, Feb. 15. A report was in circulation here to day, that proposals had been made at Paris by a great power for a peace on equal conditions between France and England. It is added that the emperor did not positively reject them. In the mean time it is conjectured that the emperor will not go into the subject until the fate of Naples is decided.
Advertisements &c. omitted to-day, shall appear on Tuesday.

THE KING'S ANTHEM, BY J. KENNEDY.
Tune "God Save the King."
Mortals attend the call, Nature's Great King of all, Speaks from his throne, Matter through boundless space, Speaks in each age and place All God's essential grace Ever made known.
He bade the planets roll, And still conducts the whole With all their train. He bade creation rise, Mortals of every size, And all their wants supplies While they remain.
Why then confine his grace In a more narrow space, Worlds yet unseen. Has not the Trinity, Quite so much lenity, As the true Deity, Nature's Great King?
"TRIFLES LIGHT AS AIR."
HENRY the IVth. of France, being informed that an edict which he had issued for the prohibition of luxury, was not enforced, published an explanatory proclamation, which ran thus--"Our orders prohibiting articles of luxury, and particularly the use of lace and embroidery, only extends to the honest part of the community; for as neither rogues nor women of bad character are worthy of our notice, they have our free permission either to obey or neglect our edict, as they choose."--This had the desired effect, every taylor and mantua-maker in Paris being immediately set to work to make such dresses as the edict ordered to be worn.

The subscriber offers to the public, a New Invention for Pressing; Calculated to supercede the use of the screw almost, if not altogether. For a cheese press it stands unrivalled, as might be certified by a host of witnesses if necessary; for an oil press, I submit the following certificate from a gentleman of unquestionable veracity.
Certificate.
I, Wm. Crawford, of South-east Dutchess county, State of N. York, do certify, that I have used Betts's patent Wheel Press, for pressing oil, and find it preferable to any that I have ever seen as it produces more oil with less expense, and I do recommend it to the public as a very useful invention.--Witness my hand, Wm. Crawford.
The machine which I offer to the public (though it comes with a bad grace from me) really merits attention; as in cheese making it reduces the labor from a degree to which female strength is illly adapted, to almost nothing; and in places which are yet in their infancy, this machine will be peculiarly useful, as those kind of presses, viz. the cider, clothier's and oil, are yet to be erected, and may be done at much less expense than the ordinary mode.
Licenses for constructing and using the above invention, will be afforded at a reasonable rate, by the subscriber.

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.
I DO 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.

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.

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 Drono (who won 25 Kings plates, Jockey club plates, and matches, to the amount of 5000 guineas) his grand sire was Herod, out of Lilly; his grand grand sire was Blank, the sire of Eclipse; his dam was Mr. Dods worth's Chadsworth mare, by Chadsworth, a son of Blank's, (dam of Abba Thule) his grand dam by Engineer, his great grand dam by Wilson's Arabian, his great grand grand dam by Hutton's Spot, his great grand grand dam by Mogul, 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 would enter against him, the four mile heats, (you 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 Matthew Dods worth, Esq. of Crake Hall Yorkshire; that he was got by the running horse Drono 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.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE KENTUCKY GAZETTE AND GENERAL ADVERTISER.
LEXINGTON, MAY 17, 1805.
(BY AUTHORITY.)
L A W S OF THE UNITED STATES.
AN ACT To regulate the laying out and making a road from Cumberland, in the state of Maryland, to the state of Ohio.
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the U. S. of America in Congress assembled, That the president of the United States, be, and he is hereby authorized to appoint, by and with the advice and consent of the senate, three discreet and disinterested citizens of the United States, to lay out a road from Cumberland, or a point on the northern bank of the river Potomac in the state of Maryland, between Cumberland and the place where the main road leading from Gwinn to Winchester in Virginia crosses the river, to the state of Ohio: whose duty it shall be, as soon as may be, after their appointment, to repair to Cumberland aforesaid, and view the ground from the points of the river Potomac herein before designated, to the river Ohio, and to lay out in such direction as they shall judge, under all circumstances, the most proper, a road from thence to the river Ohio, to strike the same at the most convenient place, between a point on its eastern bank, opposite the northern boundary of Stubenville, in said state of Ohio, and the mouth of Grave creek, which empties into the said river, a little below Wheeling in Virginia.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That the aforesaid road shall be laid out four rods in width, and designated on each side by a plain and distinguishable mark on a tree, or by the erection of a stake or monument, sufficiently conspicuous, in every quarter of a mile of the distance, at least, where the road pursues a strait course so far or farther, and on each side, at every point where an angle occurs in its course.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the commissioners shall, as soon as may be, after they have laid out said road as aforesaid, present to the president an accurate plan of the same, with its several courses and distances; accompanied by a written report of their proceedings, describing the marks and monuments by which the road is designated, and the face of the country over which it passes, and pointing out the particular parts which they shall judge require the most and immediate attention and amelioration; and the probable expense of making the same passable in the most difficult parts, and through the whole distance; designating the state or states through which said road has been laid out, and the length of the several parts which are laid out on new grounds, as well as the length of those parts laid out on the road now travelled. Which report the president is hereby authorized to accept or reject, in the whole or in part. If he accepts, he is hereby further authorized and requested to pursue such measures, as in his opinion shall be proper, to obtain consent, for making the road, of the state or states through which the same has been laid out. Which consent being obtained, he is further authorized to take prompt and effectual measures to cause said road to be made through the whole distance, or in any part or parts of the same, as he shall judge most conducive to the
public good, having reference to the sum appropriated for the purpose.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That all parts of the road which the president shall direct to be made, in case the trees are standing shall be cleared the whole width of four rods; and the road shall be raised in the middle of the carriage way, with stone, earth, or gravel and sand, or a combination of some or all of them, leaving or making, as the case may be, a ditch or water course on each side, and contiguous to said carriage way; and in no instance shall there be an elevation in said road, when finished, greater than an angle of five degrees with the horizon. But the manner of making said road, in every other particular, is left to the direction of the president.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That said commissioners shall each receive four dollars per day, while employed as aforesaid, in full for their compensation, including all expenses. And they are hereby authorized to employ one surveyor, two chainmen, and one marker, for whose faithfulness and accuracy they the said commissioners, shall be responsible, to attend them in laying out said road, who shall receive in full satisfaction for their wages, including all expenses, the surveyor three dollars per day, and each chainman and the marker, one dollar per day, while they shall be employed in said business; of which fact, a certificate signed by said commissioners shall be deemed sufficient evidence.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That the sum of thirty thousand dollars be, and the same is hereby appropriated to defray the expense of laying out and making said road. And the president is hereby authorized to draw from time to time on the treasury, for such parts, or at any one time, for the whole of said sum, as he shall judge the service requires. Which sum of thirty thousand dollars shall be paid, first out of the fund of two per cent. reserved for laying out and making roads to the state of Ohio, by virtue of the seventh section of an act passed on the thirtieth day of April, one thousand eight hundred and two, intitled "An act to enable the people of the eastern division of the territory north west of the river Ohio, to form a constitution and state government, & for the admission of such state into the union, on an equal footing with the original states, and for other purposes." Three per cent. of the appropriation contained in said seventh section, being directed by a subsequent law, to the laying out, opening, and making roads within the said state of Ohio. And secondly, out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, chargeable upon and reimbursable at the treasury by said fund of two per cent. as the same shall accrue.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That the president be, and he is hereby requested to cause to be laid before congress, as soon as convenience will permit, after the commencement of each session, a statement of the proceedings under this act, that congress may be enabled to adopt such further measures as may from time to time be proper, under existing circumstances.

The Noted Running Horse, 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 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. Ribby's Roan. In August '99, he won a quarter race for 100l. 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 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: left 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.

The high bred English stallion, DION,
WHICH was imported from London in the fall of 1801, by the late John Hoomes esq. of the Bowling Green, and is remarkable for his fine colts; he was bred by W. Garforth esq. of Yorkshire, and is undoubtedly a horse of as fine blood as any in England; he was a good racer, and beat several of the best horses in that kingdom. He won a sweep-stake at York August meeting, nine subscribers, 50 guineas each, beating Mr. Winworth's colt by Escape, lord Fitz William's bay colt by Walnut, Mr. Wilson's colt by Escape, Mr. Pierce's bay colt by Spadille, Mr. C. Turner's colt by Escape. In 1800 he won the stand plate at York, free for all ages, beating the famous horse Jonah. The same year he run over the York course (4 miles) with Hambletonian, for the great subscription, and although the greatest exertion was made by the rider of Hambletonian, yet he beat Dion only the neck, and actually refused to run with him for the gold cup at Doncaster, a few days after, which Dion won with the greatest ease, beating lord Darlington's bay colt Hap-Hazzard by Sir Peter Teazle, lord Fitz William's brown filly Fanny, by do. Sir Harry Vane Tempest's bay colt by Walnut. Dion at another time beat Mr. Cooklin's Sir Harry, and Sir Thomas Galcoigne's Timothy, and several other horses of high repute, and was considered a horse of great speed and bottom, for his racing (in almost every instance) was 4 miles.
DION, now rising 11 years old, full fifteen hands two inches and a half high, a fine bay, with great strength and beauty, and has probably the best feet, legs, back and quarters that were ever combined in one horse; Stands this season (which will commence the 20th of March and end the first of August) at Madison court house, and be let to mares at 12 dollars the single leap, paid in hand, 24 dollars the season (four dollars of which will be remitted if paid by the 20th of December next) 40 dollars to insure a mare with foal, and one dollar to the groom in every instance, paid when the mare is covered. Good beefsteers on foot, weighing not less than 400 delivered the first week in August, good fat pork on foot, delivered the 1st week in October; inspected crop tobacco, delivered at any ware house on the Kentucky river, and merchantable hemp, delivered either at Madison court house or Lexington by the 20th of December, will be received in payment, at the cash market price when delivered—a promissory a-tessed note for 24 dollars the season, and 40 for insurance must be sent with the mares—should those mares insured not prove with foal, and the property not altered, the money will be returned. Good pasturage found gratis for mares coming from more than 12 miles distance, and those gentlemen who with their mares fed, may have it done at three shillings per week.
Both the horse and mares will be under the direction of E. Faulkner and Henry Banton.
WM. T. BANTON.
PEDIGREE.
DION was bred by W. Garforth esq. and was got by Spadille, one of the best sons of Highflyer; his dam Faith by Pacolet, a grandson of the Godolphin Arabian; his grand dam, the famous Atalanta, by Old Matchem, out of La's of the Mill, Oroonok, Old Traveller, sister to Clark's La's of the Mill, Mr. Holme's Miss Makeless, by Grey Hound; Old Partner, Woodcock, dam of Lambton, Miss Doe, Croft's Bay Barb, grand dam of the Ancafter Starling, Makeless, Delmona's dam, Brimmer, Dicky Pierfon, son of Dods worth, out of the Burton Barb mare. This pedigree was taken from the general stud book of England.
JOHN HOOMES

The famous and complete Horse,
STIRLING,
Never beaten but once, and then by accident.
Was imported from London by the late John Hoomes esq. of the Bowling Green, and extraordinary to relate, he won 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 138 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, 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 100 guineas each, at Ascot, beating Mr. Crosbey'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. Durands Play-or-Pay, and three others. In 1795, when the property of E. H. Delme esq. He won a 50l. plate at New-Market, Duke's course, four miles, beating lord Strathmore's Horatio, lord Grosvenor's Lilliput, and Mr. Girdler's Bilibop Blaze. He won the Jockey Club plate for four years old, (round course) four miles, beating the duke of Grafton's Minion, lord Clermont's Repeater, and lord Grosvenor's Capricorn. He received forfeit of 75 guineas from Mr. Rutten's filly 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. Wilson's Gaultic, lord Grosvenor's bay colt by Poſſos, out of String, Mr. Bott's Trotteridge the duke of Bedford's Bras, lord Egremont's Fraction, and lord Darlington'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 Virrey, and lord Grosvenor's Lilliput. The same year he won the king's plate at Burford, beating Mr. Bott's Trotteridge. 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. George, and others, Duke's course, (four miles.) He was lame 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. Attested 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.
