REPORT OF THE CAUSES,
DETERMINED BY THE LATE
SUPREME COURT,
FOR THE
DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY;
AND BY THE
COURT OF APPEALS,
IN WHICH THE TITLES TO LAND WERE
IN DISPUTE.
By JAMES HUGHES.
Proposals for publishing this work by subscription, were circulated nearly two years ago, under the signature of Thomas Todd and James Hughes, it having been the intention of Colonel Todd, to join in the work.
In order to enable Mr. Bradford, to know who to deliver books to as subscribers, it will be necessary for those Gentlemen who have subscription papers to forward them to him.
This volume contains the Causes decided from the establishment of the District Court on the Western waters, to the end of the March Term of the Court of Appeals, in the year 1801.
The Author is preparing materials for a second volume, which will probably be published in the beginning of the next year.

The thorough bred, & elegant horse, FLIMNAP.
NOW in high perfection; will stand the ensuing season at the subscriber's stable, in the county of Bourbon, on the road leading from Lexington, by General Russell's to Paris, in sight of Capt. Johnson's tavern, at the Cross Roads; and will be let to mares at the moderate price of Twelve Dollars the season, payable by the 20th of December next, in Hemp, Country Linen, Sugar or Salt, at their market price—which may be discharged by the payment of Ten Dollars Cash, or large Fat Hogs, delivered on foot, at my farm, by the 10th of October next, or Ten Dollars worth of Beef Cattle, to consist of Steers, between the ages of four and seven years, if delivered at my farm in the season, which will commence the first day of March, and end the first of August next. In either mode of payment, to insure a mare with foal will be double the price of the season; and Five Dollars Cash the single leap. Pasturage will be furnished gratis for mares coming from a distance, and every possible attention paid them, but I will not be liable for accidents or escapes—Servants may be boarded, and mares fed with grain if required, on the most moderate terms. If the above articles of trade are not paid punctually, I shall consider myself not bound to take them. It is expected that gentlemen sending mares from a distance, will send their notes with them.
FLIMNAP's form, activity, and high character as an excellent foal getter, together with his pedigree, which is descended from the most approved horses in England and Virginia, renders a pompous recommendation of him unnecessary.
FLIMNAP was bred by Col. Anthony Thornton, of Virginia; is rising eight years old, black, and handsomely marked; full fifteen hands three inches high, very lengthy and well formed. He was got by the celebrated running horse Whistle-Jacket, his dam by the old Aid-de-camp, his grand dam by Dandridge's Fearnought, a thoroughbred of Baylor's old Fearnought, his great grand dam by old Janus, out of the dam of Col. Sim's old Wildair, she descended from old Billy Roger & Carter Braxon's Kitty Fisher—Diomed, the sire of Whistle-Jacket, supposed to be the best running horse in America, was a thoroughbred of Col. Fenwick's imported old Flimnap, which horse covered at 20 guineas a mare: Whistle-Jacket's dam Lucy Locket, was got by Belle-Air, (bred by Hon. Col. Taylor,) a son of Moreton's Traveller and Selima, her dam Matchless, by Othello; her grand dam Young Cate, by Childers; her great grand dam old Creeping Cate, by the Dancing Master; her great, great grand dam was the Spanish mare imported by Col. Churchill—Aid-de-camp, the sire of Flimnap's mother, was got by Specimen, out of Gen. Nelson's imported mare Blossom;—Specimen was got by Baylor's old Fearnought, out of old Jenny Dismal. Flimnap's Character as a fine foal getter, will perhaps be better evidenced by certificates, (in my possession) from gentlemen of the utmost respectability in Virginia, where he is better known.

THE NOTED HORSE REPUBLICAN,
WILL stand the ensuing season, which will commence the first day of March, and end the first day of August, at the plantation of Leonard Fleming, in Woodford county, near Shannon's mill, and will be let to mares at Six Dollars the leap, paid at the stable door, Fifteen Dollars the season, to be discharged at any time before the first day of August next, by the payment of Twelve Dollars, or Ten Dollars when the mare is first put to the horse, and Twenty Dollars to ensure a mare 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. Notes for the season and insurance, to be sent with the mares agreeable to advertisement, where the money is not paid.
REPUBLICAN is a beautiful bay, handsomely marked, about fifteen hands and a half high, eight years old last spring, and his form, muscular strength and activity is inferior to few horses on the continent—and from a number of certificates well authenticated, which can be seen at his stand, his colts are tho' equal to any.
PEDIGREE.
REPUBLICAN was raised by Mr. John Towns, of Amelia, and was got by Pegasus, Pegasus by Wildair, his dam by Traveller, grand dam by Mark Anthony, great grand dam by Aristotle, great great grand dam by Bonny Lass, out of the imported Bonny Lass, by old Jolly Roger; the dam of Republican was got by Apollo, Apollo by the imported Fearnought, his dam by Janus, great grand dam by Crawford, great great grand dam by Silver Eye.
A plenty of good and well inclosed pasturage will be found gratis, for those putting mares at a distance if required, and grain at a reasonable price, but will not be accountable for escapes or accidents.

LAW OF KENTUCKY.
AN ACT directing in what manner the Trustees of the Transylvania University may move against delinquent Surveyors.
Approved, December 22, 1802. WHEREAS by several acts of the Virginia assembly passed prior to the erection of the district of Kentucky into a state, the Transylvania seminary was endowed with one sixth part of all surveyors' fees in the district aforesaid; and it being doubtful in what court the trustees of the said Transylvania seminary, now established the Transylvania university, ought to proceed for the recovery of said fees from delinquent surveyors—for remedy whereof.
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the general assembly, that all surveyors throughout this commonwealth, shall settle their accounts with the trustees of the Transylvania university, and pay one sixth part of all fees they may have received, or shall hereafter receive on those original surveys and entries, to one sixth of the fees on which the said trustees may be entitled to by law, as well those who are now in office, as those who have been surveyors and are now out of office.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, that all surveyors, heretofore or now in office, who shall settle according to the directions of this act, shall not be liable to any further penalty or damage on account of their not complying with the original laws which gave one sixth part of the surveyors' fees to the Transylvania seminary.
Sec. 3. Be it further enacted, that the trustees of the Transylvania university, shall cause this act to be published three times in all the newspapers in this state, prior to the first day of April next.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, that it shall and may be lawful after the expiration of six months from the passage of this act, for the trustees of the Transylvania university to move against any delinquent surveyor, as well those in office as those who have heretofore been in office, and have not settled the respective amount due the said trustees, in the general court in Frankfort, in the same manner as the auditor is directed to move against delinquent sheriffs in this commonwealth; and the said general court shall have competent jurisdiction to hear all such motions, to give judgments and award executions as in similar cases.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, that all surveyors' fees shall hereafter be reduced to one sixth upon all original surveys; and no part of the surveyors' fees for services hereafter to be performed, shall from henceforth be payable to the trustees of the Transylvania university.
This act shall be in force from its passage.
(Each printer of a newspaper in this state is desired to insert the above law in his paper three weeks before the first day of April, and to forward his account for the same to the chairman of the board of trustees of the Transylvania University.)

SEITZ & JOHNSON. Lexington, 12th March, 1803.
LONDON, December 13.
The Dey of Algiers is stated to have had an interview some time since with the British consul and Sir Hugh Barlow when he demanded a change of the British passports and the payment of a debt which he asserts is due to him, to the amount of 50,000l. threatening war, in the event of a refusal, or a delay beyond the close of the present year.
January 2.
Dispatches had been received at Constantinople from the Pacha of Cairo, who states, that he has defeated the Beys, and blocked them up in Upper Egypt, where, from the want of provisions and the great ravages which the plague is making amongst their troops, he expects they will soon be compelled to surrender.
January 3.
England is wisely endeavoring, before the orders her troops to evacuate Egypt, to procure the adoption of such a system as shall prevent any foreign power from attempting to wrest that province from the Porte. Letters from Constantinople of the 14th of November, the contents of which are given in the Paris papers to the 31st ult. which we received this morning, state, that Lord Elgin has proposed a triple alliance between Turkey and Great-Britain and Russia, the principal object of which shall be to prevent a descent upon Egypt, and to stipulate that the Porte shall not grant permission to any power to send troops thither. Russia is said to be friendly to the proposition.—But the Porte hesitates, through fear of giving offence to France. If Russia, however, who must always possess the most influence at Constantinople, be really desirous that such a treaty should be concluded, the Turkish government must of course accede to it.
Citizen Russia, likewise, who resides at Constantinople, as the official representative of France, keeps a vigilant eye on every movement and intrigue of the British minister. He is laboring at present to obtain the stipulated indemnities to those citizens of France whose effects were, by the Turkish government confiscated during the war.
The Journal des Defenseurs, of Tuesday last, contains the following article, which appears to bear a relation to what has been stated in private letters from Paris, with respect to the inauguration of Bonaparte, as emperor of the Gauls. "There is now preparing in the palais de justice, in the ground floor formerly called des libraires, where the grand judge is to sit, a chapel placed at one of the extremities, opposite to the stairs ascending to the tribunal of correction. Amongst its decorations are four Ionic columns, which have been restored for this purpose. This vast hall is divided in the middle by areades, which are covered with superb tapestry from the manufacture of the Gobelin. The place is the same where formerly was celebrated the mass, known by the name of La Mase Rouge. A place is prepared in the same hall for the purpose of containing a great number of musicians. In that part of the hall which belonged to the tribunal of appeals opposite to the judges, are a number of ascending seats, evidently reserved for the constituted authorities, who are to be invited to a ceremony, which, adjudging from the preparations that have been made, will be heightened by a degree of pomp suited to its importance!"
PHILADELPHIA, February 10.
Extract of a letter from an officer on board the United States frigate Constitution, dated Toulon Bay, 21st October, 1802.
"We left Malta on the 23d August and arrived at Tripoli the 25th, where we staid three days and then left for Tunis Bay; where, we arrived on the 4th September, and sent our boat on board of a French man of war, lying in the bay, with a letter for our consul; captain Murray not wishing to have any communication with the shore, for fear of being quarantined at the next port he went to."
"On the Wednesday following, we again stood into the bay, and sent our boat on board the French ship, and likewise an American, where our officers saw the consul; who informed, that a few days previous to our arrival, he had received an official letter from the Danish consul at Tripoli, informing him of our having killed the Balthaw's favorite general, when standing next to the Balthaw, by one of the shot which flew on shore the 22d July, when we had the skirmish with the gun-boats—that we had destroyed two gun-boats, and killed and wounded many men—that the Bey of Tunis had demanded a 36 gun frigate from the United States, and was quite impatient at not receiving it."
The same letter contains the following paragraph: "Bonaparte has banished general Touissant to the island of Elbe, in chains."
NEW-YORK, February 21.
By the arrival of the ship Betsey from Liverpool, and the Ann from Hull, we have received files of the London and Provincial papers, to the first of January, and commercial shipping lists and prices current to the last of December. These papers add very little to our former stock of intelligence.
Private letters from Havre mention, that four thousand soldiers, of the most
disreputable description in the eyes of the French government, are ordered to embark for St. Domingo. They are men who have been taken from the gallows, or have served under the allies: those who are accused of revolutionary crimes, and whose loyalty to the consul-general is suspected. The embarkation of these men, while it shews a determination on the part of France to retain St. Domingo, implies that the regular troops are not very willing to go upon the service, or that the government does not wish to throw them away on such an enterprise.
Private accounts from Paris state, that the first consul will, in a short time, nominate for his successor the son of Madame Louis Bonaparte, and appoint a council of regency, consisting of generals Muret and Moncey, Cambacérès and the grand judge at the head of which his brother Joseph is to be placed. The college of princes is, according to the same accounts, to be composed of the great officers of the Legion of Honor, the president of the deliberating body, the president of the sections, of the council of state, and an upper chamber, taken from among the senate.
According to letters from Transylvania, the most melancholy accounts are daily received there of the damage done by the earthquake which took place on the 26th of October. In 28 villages in Harum Sezek, the most beautiful part of the district of Sezekler, a single church steeple has not been left standing. At Gallacz, on Moldavia, more than sixty persons have been crushed under the ruins of their houses. At Berndorf the church and ninety houses were thrown down by the violence of the shocks.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 18.
"A resolution was laid before the senate yesterday, for authorising the President of the United States, with a discretionary power, to construct and equip and employ for service on the Mississippi, or elsewhere, a number of gun boats of such a construction as may be deemed necessary for military purposes, and calculated for cruizers on our southern coast. The proposition underwent various modifications, the number of vessels proposed being 8, 10, and at length 15; the committee to whom this was referred reported in favour of 15, and an appropriation of 50,000 dollars for the service. The subject was again discussed this day, and the measure passed the senate."
February 25. On Wednesday, the Senate took up the following resolutions, offered by Mr. Rofs:
IN SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES.
February 16. Mr. Rofs submitted the following resolutions, which were read, and it was agreed that the consideration thereof should be the order of the day for Monday next.
Attest, SAMUEL A. OTIS, Sec'y.
Resolved, That the United States have an indisputable right to the free navigation of the river Mississippi, and to a convenient place of deposit for their produce and merchandise in the island of New-Orleans.
That the late infraction of such their unquestionable right, is an aggression hostile to their honor and interest.
That it does not conflict with the dignity or safety of this union, to hold a right so important by a tenure so uncertain.
That it materially concerns such of the American citizens as dwell on the Western waters; and is essential to the union, strength and prosperity of these states, that they obtain complete security for the full and peaceable enjoyment of such their absolute right.
That the president be authorised to take immediate possession of such place, or places, in said island, or the adjacent territories, as he may deem fit and convenient, for the purpose aforesaid; and to adopt such other measures for obtaining that complete security as to him, in his wisdom, shall deem meet.
That he be authorized to call into actual service, any number of the militia of the states of S. Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, or of the Mississippi territory, which he may think proper, not exceeding fifty thousand, and to employ them, together with the military and naval forces of the union, for effecting the objects above mentioned.
That the sum of five millions of dollars be appropriated to the carrying into effect the foregoing resolutions; and that the whole or any part of the sum be paid or applied on warrants drawn in pursuance of such directions as the president may, from time to time, think proper to give to the secretary of the treasury.
A motion was made by Mr. Breckinridge, to amend them by striking out from the word Resolved , and inserting the following:
That the President of the United States be, and he is hereby authorised, whenever he shall judge it expedient, to require of the executives of the several states, to take effectual measures to organize, and equip, according to law, and hold in readiness to march at a moment's warning, 80,000 effective militia, officers included.
Resolved, That the President may, if he judges it expedient, authorise the executives of the several states to accept, as part of the detachment aforesaid, any
corps of volunteers, who shall continue in service for such time not exceeding six months, and perform such services as shall be prescribed by law.
Resolved, That dollars be appropriated for paying and subsisting such part of the troops aforesaid, whose actual service may be wanted, and defraying such other expenses as, during the recess of Congress, the President may deem necessary for the security of the territory of the United States.
Resolved, That dollars be appropriated for erecting, at such place or places on the western waters as the President may judge most proper, one or more arsenals.
On the last resolutions a debate ensued which continued to a late hour, in which Messrs. Breckinridge, Clinton, Cocke, and Jackson supported; and Messrs. White, Mason, and Dayton opposed them.
On yesterday the debate was continued by Messrs. Wells, Ross and Morris against the resolutions of Mr. Breckinridge, and by Mr. Wright in their favor, until 7 o'clock, when the Senate adjourned.
A number of respectable and patriotic citizens, including a considerable portion of the members of both houses of Congress, on the 22d of February 1803, assembled at the Capitol, and being impressed with a clear conviction that numerous consequences highly promotive of the prosperity and happiness of the United States as a nation, and of its citizens individually, would result from a general diffusion of practical knowledge in Agriculture and domestic Manufactures, entered into an association for this purpose, under the name of The American Board of Agriculture .
For its more complete organization, the Board adopted a Constitution, and elected the following Officers to serve until the next meeting, which is to be near the commencement of the ensuing session of Congress, when a general election will take place.

LEXINGTON, MARCH 15.

By an arrival yesterday in 11 days from Cape François, we were informed, that the blacks were still masters of the plains and mountains in the neighborhood of that place. The whites still occupied a few out posts a short distance from the city, where they have erected block houses to cover them. It was understood, the blacks had for some time past been busy in obstructing the public roads, communicating from thence to the other principal parts of the island; and that they had rendered most of them impassable, even on horseback.
Norfolk Paper.
The publication in the Guardian of the "Western American," has excited general indignation in the citizens of Kentucky. By the Palladium we learn, that the author is said to be Mr. Francis Flournoy of Pendleton county. The following extract of a letter will show the manner in which the citizens of Frankfort exhibited their abhorrence of the measures proposed by that writer:
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Frankfort, to his correspondent in this place, dated March 6.
"You have no doubt seen the publication in the Guardian of Freedom, signed "A Western American," advising a secession from the union, &c. A publication so inflammatory, and so directly opposed to the opinions and interests of the western people, could not fail to produce violent sensations here. The day after the publication, the printer was called on by the most respectable characters in the place, for the author, that they might be able to give a prompt and efficacious contradiction to the sentiments expressed, and to hold the author to the contempt of his fellow citizens. The printer, however, pursuing the line of conduct generally observed on such occasions, refused to give up the author.—It was urged to him, that if he did not give up the author's name, he would be considered as the author, and treated as such—he replied, that however painful it would be to him, for suspicions to exist of his entertaining such opinions, he must still perform his duty—that his was a free press, unswayed by party, and that the author might as well have put his name to the piece, as to have given it into the hands of a printer, who would tell it to every enquirer. That he had no fear of being, himself thought the author, or as being any way friendly to the sentiments contained in the publication—that among his personal acquaintances he had conversed freely on the subject, at various times, and to them it was well known that his attachment to the union was as ardent as that of any other citizen, that he had always expressed a warm wish for the prosperity of the western country—and that he was considered as an enthusiast in his admiration of the talents, independence and justice of the present administration—that a recurrence to his file of papers would satisfy any person not acquainted with him, of his politics—and that his patrons must remember the paragraphs avowedly of his own composition; so that no person could suspect him of possessing such opinions."
"Things remained in this state, till yesterday evening about three o'clock, when the attorney general, in company with several citizens, went to the printing office, where the attorney in the name of the commonwealth, demanded the author, stating that it came within his province to take notice of the publication, and that he intended to take legal steps to punish the author. This call the printer thought it proper to attend to, and he delivered into the hands of the attorney, the author's letter to him, on which he was directed to endorse his name, and the time of the delivery, that he might be called on as a witness. By the time these circumstances had transpired, the evening was far spent—However, the citizens immediately went to work, and about nine o'clock at night an effigy of the author was completed, and mounted on the shoulders of men, before capt. Buth's tavern—he was taken to Mr. Jarvis's boat-yard, where he was tarred, and then paraded through the principal streets, amidst the scoffs and hoots of an indignant multitude. After this parade, he was taken to the place from whence he started, where he was consumed by

fire, the citizens shouting "perpetuity to the union, confidence in the government, and the free navigation of the Mississippi." The citizens then repaired in peace and tranquility to their respective dwellings, happy in thus having an opportunity of publicly expressing their indignation at any attempt that may be made to make impressions unfriendly to them, and of satisfying the world of their attachment to the government of their choice, and their determination to support the union of the states, "as the fleet anchor of our peace abroad, and safety at home."

ALBERT, WHO was bred by col. John Hoskins, of King and Queen county, Virginia, has lately arrived from him, to my stable in Scott county, and will commence this season the 1st day of April, and may cover mares at 18 dollars on a promissory attested note, payable the 1st day of August ensuing, (when the season will end) which may be discharged with 15 dollars if paid within the season; 9 dollars the single leap, to be paid at the stable door before the covering of the mare; if she should take the horse a second time, in that case 9 dollars will be demanded as above, then the mare shall be considered as entitled to the season; 20 dollars to insure a mare to be in foal, but it is to be expressly understood that if any person putting a mare, shall part with her before it is certainly known whether she be in foal or not; shall be answerable for the insurance money; in each case one half dollar to the groom. Large and extensive pasturage of clover, blue-grass and timothy, well inclosed, gratis, for mares from any distance exceeding twelve miles—mares will be furnished with corn plentifully for 3s. per week, for all those who may so direct. All imaginable attention will be paid, but will not be answerable for any casualties or escapes that may happen. Boys coming with mares may have their board gratis. ROBERT SANDERS. March 7, 1803.
The thorough bred Horse ALBERT, was got by Americus, his dam by Wild-Air, his grand dam by Vampier, out of col. Braxton's imported mare Kitty Fisher; Americus was got by the imported horse Shark, which was the best race horse that ever came to America; Shark was got by Malk, his dam by Safto's Snap, his grand dam by Marlboro' out of a natural barb mare—Wild-Air was got by Fearnought, Fearnought by Regulus, Regulus by the Godolphin Arabian—Vampier was got by Regulus, which was got by the Godolphin Arabian—Kitty Fisher was got by Cade, which was got by the Godolphin Arabian—Albert's dam was the dam of Melzar, Kitty Medley, Minerva, Americus and Rosetta; and they have proved themselves to be the best flock in America.

MEDLEY, A FULL bred horse, will stand at my stable in Scott county, near Georgetown, and will be let to mares at Five Dollars the leap, to be paid when the mare is covered; Ten Dollars the season, which may be discharged with Hemp, delivered at any rope walk in Lexington, or Whiskey, at the market price, delivered at my house, if paid within the season; or Twenty Dollars to insure a mare to be with foal. As I am not in immediate want of money, those that choose to put their mares by the season or insurance, if they will send their notes with the mare for the money, I will not call on them for the amount, until we can sell our produce to greater advantage down the river. If any of those mares put by insurance should prove not to be with foal, their notes shall be returned. Any person putting five mares shall have one gratis. The season will commence on the 10th of March, and expire on the 10th of August. Good pasturage gratis, for mares that may come more than 20 miles. Great care will be taken, but will not be answerable for accidents or escapes. MEDLEY is near sixteen hands
high, elegantly formed, his mettle & activity equal with any horse whatever. I have the following certificate in my possession, signed by forty-five respectable gentlemen, in Virginia, to prove him a good foal getter.
WE do certify, that we believe the stud horse Medley, sold by Capt. Valentine Johnson, of Orange county, Virginia, to Maj. Rodes Thomson, of Scott county, and state of Kentucky, is as good and sure a foal getter as ever stood amongst us; his colts are fine large and promising. Given under our hands this 7th day of December, 1802.
MEDLEY was got by Hart's old imported Medley, his dam by the old imported horse Aristotle, his grand dam by the old imported horse Fearnought, out of a mare imported by Col. Baylor. RODES THOMSON. 28th February, 1803.

Spread Eagle and Sterling are brothers, from sire, and out of sisters—he is of superior size—bone, blood, and beauty inferior to none—He is a beautiful bay, nearly sixteen hands high; well proved as a race horse—running four mile heats with twelve stone on his back, as appears from the Racing Calendar, New Market, London, from the years 1795, to 1798—after which he is there noted, sent to America to Colonel John Hoomes, in Virginia, at the Bowling Green; where he the last season that he made there, covered two hundred and thirty four mares in preference to any imported horse in that state. I will furnish good pasture gratis for mares that come a distance, and every attention will be paid them, but will not be responsible in case of accidents or escapes.

THE WOODMAN. You ask, who lives in yonder cot Remote, where strangers seldom tread? A Woodman there enjoys his lot, Who labors for his daily bread. In this lone forest wild and rude, He earns his meal by—cutting wood.
No wife has he to whom confin'd, No child to bring perpetual care, No servant to perplex his mind, No friend, his frugal meal to share; Alone, and in a cheerful mood, He earns his bread by—cutting wood.
From wealth and power he lives secure, Unknown beneath his humble roof, Untaught, yet blit; content, though poor; While every care he keeps aloof; Thus having nought o'er which to brood, He spends his days in—cutting wood.
Soon as he views the rising sun, He eats his crust of coarse brown bread, Shoulders his hatchet and his gun, And thus, by constant habit led, In that recess where oft he's stood, He still continues—cutting wood.
To him indifferent seasons roll; He values not the lapse of time; He only seeks to mould his soul, And fit it for a happier clime, Where pain and sorrow ne'er intrude, Where soon he'll cease from—cutting wood.
Does not this peasant happier live Than those who "follow wealth and fame?" Can these bestow what peace can give, Or raise to health the fickle frame? He's blest indeed who poor and good Earns his brown loaf by—cutting wood.
JULIENNE. DIVERSITY.
AN Irishman went to a physician, and desired to be inoculated. The physician agreeably to his request, proceeded to the operation; but his inoculation did not take. He repeated the operation a second and a third time, but still it did not take. "I am greatly surprised" said the doctor. "Not so much as I am," returned the Hibernian; for when I was inoculated 10 years since, it took the first time.
From a London Paper.
THE PAPIRI. The literary world will rejoice to learn that the lively interest which his royal highness the Prince of Wales has taken in the recovery of the rolls of the Papiri, found in the ruins of Portui, has been crowned with the most perfect success. The respect paid to his request by the king of Naples, is a just return of gratitude to the royal family of England, for the exertions which were made in his favor, in the hour of his difficulty; and we owe to the liberal and well directed representations of the Prince, that this inestimable horde of literary treasure is to be brought to light. Fourteen hundred rolls of Papiri are now opened to the research and investigation of the learned world; and the Rev. Mr. Hayter, one of the Prince's chaplains, a person eminently qualified by learning, zeal, and perseverance for the important task, is now employed in the restoration of the relics. The chief result was gratified by his Neapolitan majesty with a present of ten rolls of the manuscripts, which are safely arrived at Marseilles on their way to Paris; & in this the republic of letters will feel no jealousy. The learned men of every country are equally concerned in the discoveries which are likely to be made, and certain that in the hands of the erudite Lacher, Villoison, Coray, and others, they will be as ably and accurately investigated, as in Italy or England. We understand that the model of the volume of the Papiri already published, will be taken to identify the character, and to enable the scholars of every country to exert their criticism on the text. Already a complete Tractate of Epicurus, of whom we have heard so much, and possess so little, has been recovered, and which is the first thing to be published.

One Hundred Dollars Reward.
RAN-AWAY last spring, a negro man, named BARTLET, Supposed to be about twenty five years of age, five feet eight or ten inches high, uncommonly stout and broad across the shoulders, very dark complexion, his eyes sunk deep in his head, and when spoken to generally puts on a smile, but at other times he has a thoughtful ill look, and possessing a great share of cunning acquiescence. He was formerly owned by col. William Montgomery of Lincoln county Kentucky, and brought from thence by Henry Hall of Shelby county, in the year 1801.
I have been informed he was taken up on the Tennessee river by a detachment of troops under the command of capt. Purdy, and was put in irons; that officer for reasons but known to himself, thought proper to release him and keep him as a waiter a considerable time, until he arrived in the neighbourhood of Nashville. The fellow then left him on being threatened with chastisement. It is not known where he aims to go, but it is believed to Kentucky to his former place of residence, or the North Western side of the Ohio.
Any person who will apprehend and deliver the said Negro to the subscriber shall receive the above reward of One Hundred Dollars.

DALLAM'S PORT.
THE subscriber has possessed himself of the valuable land in the Forks of Red river, and purposed to lay out near 1000 Acres in a Town. He has travelled through a great part of Kentucky and Tennessee. Observed with attention the soil, produce, situation & water courses, & he is confident there is not a spot in the whole that possesses advantages equal to this for a town. It is situated on the only constant and pure streams for water works, in a fine healthy and fertile country.
The day is not far distant when a new state must arise and be added to the union out of Kentucky and Tennessee—and the seat of government must be at or adjacent to this spot, because it is not far from the centre; is free from musketoes (the pest of man and beast,) and from the disorders incident to a nearer approach to the Cumberland river.
From this spot is a navigation to the Ohio and Back, within a few miles of the eddy waters of Cumberland and Ohio; the settlement around, and the improvements already made are the best, and most extensive in the county. On and near to this spot, are three houses for public worship, a forge, two saw mills, two grist mills, and a fulling mill, and the only merchant mill on a constant stream in the county and seats for 100 more. The public roads are in every direction near to and from this spot—And the legislature of the state has established an inspection of Tobacco, Flour and Hemp at this place—And there is now a school kept.
The discerning inhabitants must see their interest in becoming proprietors of lots in this town; it will add immediately to their wealth, convenience and happiness; houses alone are wanted to populate it with industrious mechanics and merchants. A plat will soon be made out & the time of public sale of lots be made known.

GEORGE WASHINGTON, COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE ARMIES OF NORTH AMERICA, During the War which effected THE INDEPENDENCE OF OUR COUNTRY, AND FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, Has it now in his power to offer the Public the following PROPOSALS For publishing it by subscription.
The work will be faithfully composed under the inspection of Judge Washington himself, principally from the original papers bequeathed to him by the deceased General. On its correctness the most entire confidence may be placed.
The life of this illustrious Citizen necessarily comprises so large and interesting a portion of the history of this country, that the work, it was conceived, would be rendered much more complete, as well as much more gratifying to the reader, by connecting with it some general account of the origin and progress of the People, who were conducted under his auspices, from dependent colonies to self-government.
A compendious view, therefore, will be taken, by way of introduction to the Life of General Washington , of the settlements of the Europeans in North America, and of the advance of the British colonies from their feeble and infantine condition, until they attained that state of manhood, when, with arms in their hands, they asserted and established their Independence. Various circumstances have delayed the execution of the work; but it is now in considerable forwardness, and will soon be ready for the press—Bond with security has been given that it shall be published.
CONDITIONS.
The work shall be handsomely printed, with a new type, on vellum paper, to be comprised in four or five octavo volumes, of from 450 to 500 pages each, and embellished with a variety of plans and charts, of those parts of the country which were the scenes of the most important events during the American revolution. The first volume will contain an elegant portrait of the deceased General, engraved by one of the best artists in this country, from an original painting by the celebrated Stuart.
The price to subscribers will be Three Dollars each volume, in boards; and the price of one volume to be paid at the time of subscribing; this advance to be continued with each volume until the whole is completed. The price to non-subscribers will be three Dollars and fifty cents per volume, in boards. A few copies will be hot-pressed, price three dollars and fifty cents per volume to subscribers, payable in advance, and four dollars to non-subscribers.
An edition will be printed in three volumes quarto, hot-pressed, elegantly bound, gilt and lettered, price ten dollars per volume to subscribers, payable in advance, and twelve dollars to non-subscribers.
The work will be put to press as early as the requisite arrangements can be made. Any gentleman who obtains and becomes accountable for fifteen subscribers , shall be entitled to one copy for his trouble.
The names of subscribers will be published, but no subscription will be received after the publication of the first volume.
Those who wish to be possessed of this invaluable history, will do well to transmit their names early. In the country, and in small villages, an union can take place among all who mean to subscribe, and in one letter several names may be forwarded, specifying the number of copies, and enclosing the requisite advance money.

They will answer as well taken off after the hogs are scalded, as before, and those of a hog one year old will do, that is, all that are bristles, short and long—I will take them uncombed, the price agreeable to the situation they are in.
