NATHL. MACON, Speaker of the House of Representatives. STEPHEN K. BRADLEY, President of the Senate pro tempore. March 3d, 1803, APPROVED,
TH: JEFFERSON, A LETTER TO THOMAS PAINE. Great Valley 21st, Feb. 1803. SIR,
In the Aurora of the first inst. appeared a letter addressed to you by the pious and venerable patriot Samuel Adams. Your answer, which the same paper presented to the public, merited in my opinion, a reply. For that reply I have till this time waited in vain. I therefore, take the liberty of transmitting to you, by the same public conveyance, a few thoughts on the most prominent parts of your letter. This liberty I am persuaded you will indulge in one who with pleasure, and with gratitude to the author, often reviews the intrinsic merit and memorable effects of your writings in favor of the independence of the United States.
"The books, you say, that compose the New Testament were voted by yeas and nays, to be the word of God, as we now vote a law, by the popish councils of Nice and Leodicea about 1450 years ago. This vote may appear authority enough to some and not authority enough to others. It is proper, however, that every body should know the fact." You also affirm that "Bishop Watson acknowledged this fact."
This, sir, is an extraordinary paragraph. But the mild and forbearing spirit of the gospel and the example of its benevolent author forbid me to use the language, here, which to many, it may seem to merit. Far am I from charging you with the base crime of intentional falsehood. I shall not ascribe to you, an ignorance of ecclesiastical history which would be reproachful to a school boy professing to have read it. I shall impute to inadvertence or precipitance, or some less culpable cause, a statement in this paragraph, which is absolutely false. The idea which you mean to convey and impress (in your own words extracted from the age of reason) that "there was no such book as the New Testament till near 300 years after the time that Christ is said to have lived:" or that the origin of that book was not believed to be divine before the council of Nice or Leodicea.
You well know, sir, that Clemens, Ignatius, and Polycarp were contemporary with the apostles themselves. You well know that Justin, Irenaeus, Theophilus Melito and Tertullian lived in the second century immediately succeeding those who were the companions of the apostles. You are not ignorant that Julius Africanus, Ammonius, Origen, and Dionysius of Alexandria, lived and wrote before the year 300. And if, when writing to Mr. Adams, you had called up your historical knowledge, you would have been perfectly convinced that by the writings of these distinguished men collectively taken, the following propositions are proved to be true; viz. from the time of the apostles the books which compose the New Testament, were quoted and alluded to with peculiar respect as books sacred, divine and infallible. They were collected into a distinct volume: publicly read and expounded in religious assemblies; commentaries on them written and formal catalogues of them published long before the council at Nice or Leodicea. In the year 178 Melito expressly distinguishes the Old Testament from the New. About 20 years later this volume is by Tertullian called "the New Testament." And yet unfortunately for you, through your zeal for infidelity you have in the age of reason asserted, and in your letter to Mr. Adams insinuated, that no such book as the New Testament existed till more than 300 years after the time of Christ. These propositions I without any hatred affirm to be true. "And it is proper that every body should know the fact."
Bishop Watson you observe, has acknowledged the truth of your assertion. Permit me, sir, without impeaching your veracity, to correct your misconception of the meaning of that eminently learned and pious prelate, whose candor in controversy, is a most amiable pattern to infidels and to Christians. He tells you that 27 books or parts compose the New Testament; that respecting seven (and those of the shortest) of those parts some doubts were at first entertained, and that the question concerning these might
be decided, as all questions concerning opinions must be, by vote. But he tells us further (and gives you authority for what he says) that "the other twenty parts were owned as canonical at all times and by all Christians." "I hold it" faith he, "to be a certain fact that all the books of which the New Testament is composed, were written, and most of them received by all Christians, within a few years after his death." Is this what you call an acknowledgement that the books which compose the New Testament, were voted by yeas and nays to be the word of God about 1450 years ago?
And what if your assertions were literally true? What if not only seven but all the books which compose the New Testament had been actually declared by a vote of the council of Leodicea, to be the word of God? Would this be any reasonable ground either of doubt to the believer, or of triumph to the infidel? Would this prove either that these books did not exist, or were not acknowledged to be divine prior to that event?
Suppose the sophistry of ingenious and industrious infidels could in some individuals or churches in the United States, shake the credit with which the holy scriptures are, at this day, regarded. Suppose these individuals or churches should, for their own satisfaction, submit the question to the investigation and decision of the general convention of the episcopal church in May next.—Suppose that convention, after a learned, full and free discussion, should by their votes declare that the New Testament is the word of God, and a perfect rule of faith and practice. Would this vote imply, or would it prove to succeeding generations, that the divine authority of the New Testament was never acknowledged "till voted by the episcopal convention of 1803?" The answer to this question is so obvious, that the expression of it would insult your understanding. Nor need I, to guard the feeble intellect against the fallacy of your argument, say, that notwithstanding such a vote, it would be an eternal truth that for many hundred years before the convention, the New Testament was received as divine by all Christians, in all countries, and of every denomination. To be concluded.
NATCHEZ, March 19. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in New Orleans, dated March 11, 1803.
"Mr. Clark has arrived—he states, that on his departure from France, the troops (4500 under Gen. Victor) were on the wing; and will doubtless be here in a few weeks. He saw and conversed with the president on the subject of the government of this province—indeed he has brought all the necessary and possible information, summed up in a number of articles—I wish I could send them to you—as I cannot, take what follows: The province will be governed by a military chief, a prefect, and a commissary of justice; the departments are distinct, save that the governor can at any time do away the acts of the prefect and commissary of justice, on taking the responsibility on himself—All the monied business of the nation will be attached to office of prefect, something like the present intendant and civil justice, will be administered by the commissary, who will have under him a number of magistrates; or in other words, demi gods, something like the present Alcaldes of the Spanish government. A confidential friend of the prefect's has been here some days—it is supposed he has come forward to learn something of the people, who are and are not qualified to fill offices under the approaching government. Not a doubt remains but a large contribution will be exacted of the citizens of this place very soon after their arrival."
"No flour can be now exported—when once landed, it cannot be taken away. A decree of the intendant, to this effect will be published tomorrow; provisions, you know, must be comeatable for the French troops."
"A Schooner yesterday arrived from Baltimore, 20 days passage, the news she brings has not yet transpired fully, but we know she brought dispatches from the principle consul from France, resident in the United States, to the intendant—they were delivered by Mr. Foray, to whom the Schooner was consigned, the intendant's receipt taken, since which he has been very fulky."
"Business is dull, and money scarce, though cotton has taken a small start within a few days."
TAKEN up by William Tincher living in Madison county, on Muddy creek, a SORREL MARE, supposed to be three years old, star in her forehead, one hind foot white, no brand, thirteen hands and a half high; appraised to thirty-five dollars. September 1802.

LEXINGTON, APRIL 19.
DIED —On Wednesday night last, at his own house, the Rev. JAMES CRAWFORD, Minister of the Presbyterian church, much lamented by his numerous friends and acquaintance.
We understand a considerable alarm prevails in Scotland, in consequence of the emigrations to America, of persons, some driven from their small farms by the extension of sheep walks and others invited away. The Earl of Selkirk has a great project on hand. He has actually engaged many hundreds or thousands of Scots farmers to go to America, where he will purchase lands.

From a Paris paper of Feb. 1.
Mr. Jefferson president of the United States has addressed the following letter to the National Institute of France:— "Citizens President and Secretaries
I have received a letter, in which you have the goodness to announce to me, that the National Institute of the Arts and Sciences have elected me a foreign associate for the class of moral and political sciences. I receive this favor with a degree of sensibility equal to the respect which a body of savans of the highest character naturally inspires. Without pretending to any claim to the title of one of the colleagues, I accept it as a proof of the spirit of fraternity, which unites in one family all who cultivate sciences and letters, whatever part of the world they inhabit.
Accept for yourself, citizens president and secretaries, and for your colleagues, the assurance of my high consideration and respect.
TH. JEFFERSON. Washington, March 14, 1802.
PHILADELPHIA, March 21.
The following interesting account of a most barbarous and atrocious robbery has been communicated to us by a respectable correspondent at Williamport, Pennsylvania.
The unhappy sufferer is a young lady, about eighteen years of age, by the name of ESTHER M'DOWELL. The history of her misfortune is thus related by our correspondent.
Miss M'Dowell is the daughter and only child of Dr. John M'Dowell, who about three years since, removed from Montreal to Kentucky, where he had purchased an estate. He left his daughter to reside with an aged aunt who has since died and left her niece heir to a considerable property. Upon the death of her aunt, the young lady expressed to her father a wish to remove and reside with her parents in Kentucky. Accordingly he sent a man who had been brought up from infancy in his family, and in whose fidelity and honor he had the most implicit confidence to conduct her home. She proceeded with him from Montreal, and arrived in the neighbourhood of Williamport on Monday evening, the 21st of March instant. During the day, the villain had taken pains to avoid observation as much as possible, by leaving the public road and passing through obscure and unfrequented paths. They continued to travel till about ten o'clock in the evening, when he suddenly dismounted, dragged the lady from her horse, and presenting a pistol to her breast, demanded her money, and threatened to murder her if she attempted to give an alarm. She implored his mercy, offering him all she possessed upon the condition of sparing her life. At that instant he tore off her bonnet, and gagged her mouth to prevent her from speaking. He then proceeded to strip her of every article of clothing and tying her hands behind her, made her fast to a tree while he packed up her apparel in the faddle bags. Having done this he removed her to a more distant part of the woods, and tying her fast to a tree in a close thicket, made off with the horses and all the property that she had with her.
In this deplorable situation she remained entirely naked, exposed to the severe cold of the night until about break of day, when by her struggles, she loosed herself from the tree, and with much difficulty made her way through the woods to a house about eighty rods distant, where she was kindly received, and supplied with such things as were immediately necessary. It was not until after a considerable time that she was able to speak and relate the particulars of the disaster.
She is now, as our correspondent informs, at the house of the Rev. Isaac Grier, who lives near the place where the inhuman crime was perpetrated. Though nearly a hundred persons have been engaged in pursuit of the villain we are sorry to say that no certain intelligence has been obtained. A description of the perpetrator, and of the property lost, will be found in the following advertisement.
200 DOLLARS REWARD, For apprehending BENJAMIN CONNET.
He is about 22 years of age, of a middle size, swarthy complexion, has long black hair tied with a ribbon, has a remarkable large mole over his left eye brow, which he takes pains to conceal by suffering his hair to grow long upon
his forehead; had on a light coloured great coat, a blue frock coat, swan-down jacket, light coloured cassimer pantaloons; took with him two bottles, one of which is grey, the other black, and about four years old; a woman's faddle new, with a piece of bear skin fattened to the seat; and two portmanteaus or faddle bags, in one of which was upwards of one thousand guineas. He took also a gold watch with the owner's name, ESTHER M'DOWELL, at full length on the inside of the case, and the initial letters of her father's name J. M. on the outside.
Any person that will apprehend the villain and secure him, so that he may be brought to justice, shall receive the above reward and all expenses paid by ESTHER M'DOWELL.
NEW-YORK, April 2.
By the New-York packet, capt. Webb, arrived yesterday in 34 days from Bristol, the London Star to the 17th February, (7 days later than by the British packet) is received at the office of the Daily Advertiser—from which it appears that the French expedition to Louisiana, first delayed by the bankruptcy of the house in Paris, which had the contract to fit it out, and since by storms and frost, if nothing else, was on the 11th, lying at Helvoetsluys. A courier arrived at the Hague the 9th, who had been dispatched from the minister of marine, and after delivering his dispatches, set off for Paris with extraordinary expedition. It was furnished that his arrival was connected with the instant departure of the expedition. An article under the Dover head of February 16, says, that a fatal sickness had prevailed at Paris; 9000 are said to have died there in the course of the month of January—the disorder first came on with a sore throat, catarrhal fever, and was usually fatal in three days. Our dispute on the subject of New-Orleans, appears to excite considerable attention in England.
LONDON, February 4.
The situation of France at this moment, is critical beyond example. Buonaparte would be emperor if he could safely. He has a sovereign contempt for the people, but he fears the army. That army, which fought and conquered for a republic, will not be easily brought to submit to his projects. The reductions that have been made in the military corps, have produced much discontent; and the absence of the popular generals from the court and councils of Buonaparte, is not likely to procure a cordial attachment of the army to his government.
February 21.
A number of troops have arrived at Dunkirk, who will be embarked from thence for St. Domingo. Great quantities of arms and munition for the same destination, are likewise daily arriving at Dunkirk, from Lille, Douay, and Maubeuge.
EXECUTION OF THE TRAITORS.
A little before nine o'clock this morning, the seven following prisoners, convicted of high treason, viz. Edward Marcus Despard, Thomas Broughton, John Francis, Arthur Graham, John Macnamara, John Wood, and James Sedgewick Wratten, were brought out upon the scaffold erected on the top of the New Gaol, Horsemonger lane, to undergo the sentence of the law.
Col. Despard came the last upon the scaffold. He made a speech to the surrounding spectators, in which he declared his innocence of the crime for which he was condemned to die. His fellow sufferers said nothing, and all behaved with the greatest decorum and resignation to their fate.
After the Colonel had made his speech, he was greeted by clapping and huzzaing, otherwise the populace behaved with the greatest propriety.
Nearly about 9 o'clock the platform dropped.
After hanging about half an hour, they were cut down and decapitated. The whole of the awful ceremony concluded by a quarter past ten.
A CAUTION.
ALL persons are hereby forewarned from purchasing a tract of land, situate, lying and being in the county of Montgomery, on Slate creek; containing 140 acres, formerly the property of William Lansdale, as I have a bond from said Lansdale, to convey the said tract of land to me, in fee simple, & am now in possession of the premises.

FROM the subscriber, about the last of February, a Negro Fellow named
TOM,
He is about 30 years of age, slender built, near or quite six feet high, very talkative, given to intoxication, makes pretensions at times to be religious, and says he has a wife at Stephen Rozels, about three miles from Henry's mill, and some distance from Georgetown—a reasonable reward will be given for securing him in any jail, or delivering him to me near Lexington.

MONTEZUMA, A Fine Large JACK ASS.
WILL stand at my farm, one and a half miles from Lexington, and will be let to mares at 10 dollars the season, payable in Cash or Hemp, delivered in Lexington—Or any person or persons putting five mares by the season may discharge the same by one mule colt, (in good order, coming from a mare 15 hands high) delivered at five or six months old. The season to commence the 20th April, and end the 20th October.
MONTEZUMA is about three and a half years old, near or quite 13 hands high, and is of the large breed in Mexico. He was travelled when two years old 1000 miles to Natchez, and from thence to this state, which no doubt has been prejudicial to his growth.
Mules are produced in Mexico to 14 1-2 hands in height, from this strain or breed of jacks, and small mares, running at large in the woods without grain. They will sell in the Southern states for more money than large draught horses, and when shipped to the West Indies, are sold at double that value. They can be raised as cheap as a steer, and travelled to South Carolina, or Georgia, for one dollar expense for twenty that a horse can. There is much less danger from distempers. Kentucky has no competition in mule raising but from the New-England states; and there they are not raised to any size, the climate being too cold, and all authors assert, that the ass flourishes best in moderate climates. The rage for breeding horses here, will reduce the price of any market, which can't be done in mules for a century, as the West India market has never yet been fully supplied.
ROBERT BARR.
April 15th, 1803.
*** A fabulous report prevails that mares will not breed from the horse, after mules—authors contradict the report—and any person may see a mare on my farm now with foal of her eighth colt, after having bred a mule.

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
ANY gentleman, merchant or farmer of character and good property, who is a citizen of the United States, has it now in his power to secure to himself the exclusive patent right in one of the most important and generally useful discoveries to society, that perhaps has been yet offered to the notice of the public in any country, and thereby secure in an honorable and highly useful manner, a splendid addition to his fortune. The leading objects of this discovery are, the preservation of wheat and all other kinds of small grain, by which they will preserve sound and unaltered for years, impervious to the ravages of vermin and animalcule of every kind, now known to destroy them in such quantities. Secondly, the preservation of animal and vegetable substances, either in their natural, or a cooked state, (particularly in the latter way) by which those substances will preserve, found and unaltered for years, without danger of waste or diminution, if properly kept, susceptible by different easy modes of preparation, of bearing the transitions of every climate, and becoming an important object of trade, in the supply of our fleets, armies, and trading ships, as well as those of other nations, but especially calculated to meet a ready and profitable sale at the West India and Spanish markets. Thirdly, a simple, easy and economical mode of increasing the food of sheep, horses, and horned cattle, by which those useful animals may be cheaply and abundantly provided for, against the inclement season of winter, and scarce one of spring. The farmers and landed interest are particularly interested in the speedy and general application of this very useful and important discovery; the interest in which will be disposed of on fair and honorable terms, without danger of fraud or imposition to the purchaser. For further information, apply to the subscriber, either personally or by letter post paid, addressed to him at Mr. JOHN BOGG'S, Lexington.

THE MAID OF DONALBLAYNE.
A SCOTTISH BALLAD.
From "Tales of Terror"—said to be written by M. G. Lewis esq.
"The dashing surges gently break, The moon illumines the watery plain; The zephyrs fan the sails—Awake! My blue-eyed maid of Donaldblayne!
"My foul disdains each meaner art, No studied terms my passion prove; While warm with life, thy Malcolm's heart Shall beat with never dying love!
"A captive at thy feet I've sigh'd, Five tedious years I've sued in vain; Then blest these arms, my bonny bride, My blue-eyed maid of Donaldblayne!"
The lovely maid descended slow, And paced the stairs with cautious tread; She felt her kindling blushes glow, And thus in faltering accents said,
"And must I pass the salt-sea wave? And must I quit a moman's fears? Must I, an exil'd outcast, have A father's curse, a mother's tears?
"And shall I, wand'ring o'er the deep, Glenalpin's boasted lineage stain, And leave an aged sire to weep His faithless maid of Donaldblayne?
"And wilt thou love me gentle youth, When these few charms for aye are flown?" "Sweet maid, this heart, with love and truth, Shall ever beat for thee alone."
No footstep stirr'd, the winds were hush'd, Each eye was clos'd in balmy rest; To Marion's arms lord Malcolm rush'd, And clasp'd the trembler to his breast.
The vessel swept the dimpled tide, And bounded lightly o'er the main: But Marion hung her head, and sigh'd A long adieu to Donaldblayne!
The Kelpie, from its coral cave, Beheld the gallant vessel glide; And destin'd to a watery grave, Lord Malcolm and his bonny bride!
He sprang up from his dark abode, He bade the blasts the sea deform; On whirlwind's wings sublime he rode, And furious urg'd the howling storm!
Lord Malcolm saw the bursting wave, Impending with resistless sweep; It smote the shattered bark, and gave Its trembling burthen to the deep!
Young Malcolm stemm'd the boiling tide, And long the lovely Marion bore; Then clasp'd in death his bonny bride, And struggling sunk to rise no more!
The clouds dispers'd, the morning blush'd, The orb of day majestic beam'd; The winds in softest sleep were hush'd, And bright the liquid mirror gleam'd.
Rage fir'd Glenalpin's haughty foul, He curs'd Duncathmore's hostile thane, "Thy ruffian hand," he cried, "hath stole My child, the flower of Donaldblayne!"
He saw the wreck, he fought the strand, Where breathless corpses mingled lay; He knelt upon the wave-beat sand, And clasp'd his Marion's lifeless clay.
He climb'd the lee-rock's beetling brow, Exulting mark'd the dashing wave; Then cast one phrenzied look below, And rush'd unbidd'd to the grave!
With silver splendor o'er the tide When fleals the moon's enamord beam; Their shroud'd ghosts with wailing glide, Beneath the wan and chilly gleam.
O'er ocean, when the midnight bell Its sad and sullen murmur flings, Will Marion strike, with wildest swell, Her shadowy lyre's fantastic strings!
The fisher oft, whose fear-struck eyes See lights illume the reftless main, Suspends the dashing oar, and cries, "Alas! sweet maid of Donaldblayne!"
*The water Fiend.
DIVERSITY.
THERE was an Italian Bishop who had struggled through difficulties with out repining, and who met with much opposition in the discharge of his Episcop- al function, without ever betraying the least impatience. An intimate friend of his, who highly admired those virtues, which he thought it impossible to imitate, one day asked the prelate if he would communicate the secret of always be- ing easy—"Yes replied the old man, I can teach you my secrets, and with great facility: It consists in nothing more than in making a right use of my eyes." His friend begged him to explain himself. "Most willing" returned the bishop, "In whatever state I am, I first of all look
up to Heaven, and I remember that my principal business here is to get there. I then look down upon earth, and call to mind how small a space I shall occupy in it, when I come to be interred. I then look abroad into the world, and ob- serve what multitudes are more unhappy than myself.—Thus I learn where true happiness is placed, where all our cares must end, and how very little reason I have to repine or to complain."

He has a large and conve- nient stable, to which the strictest at- tention will be paid.—And for the convenience of travellers, he has prepared a list of the different sta- ges from Limestone to Wheeling, which may be had on application.
