TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
June 24th, 1803.
Notice is hereby given,
THAT Proposals will be received at Vincennes, by the Governor of the Indiana Territory, until the 30th day of September next ensuing, for Leasing, for the term of Three Years, commencing on the 1st day of December 1803, the SALT SPRINGS near the Wabash, lately ceded by the Indians to the United States.
The following conditions will be required on the part of the United States. Viz.
I. No rent shall be demanded for the first year of the lease; but the lessees shall pay to the United States, one thousand bushels, equal to fifty thousand pounds merchantable salt, for the annual rent of each succeeding year: the salt to be delivered at the works, in such quantities, and at such time and times within the year, as shall be fixed by the terms of the lease. II. The lessees shall establish, within the first year, kettles, for the purpose of making salt of the aggregate contents of at least eight thousand gallons; and they shall, within the second year, encrase the quantity to fifteen thousand gallons, and during the remainder of the lease, keep up and employ kettles of the said aggregate contents of fifteen thousand gallons: the kettles remaining on hand at the expiration of the lease, to be valued and paid for to the lessees, if the lease shall not be renewed. III. The lessees shall be bound, annually, and each year after the end of the first year, to manufacture at least the quantity of salt which shall be agreed on by the terms of the lease; and to sell the whole quantity which, during the four years of their lease, they shall manufacture, at a price not greater than that fixed by the said terms: and in order to prevent any combination or evasion, the United States reserve to themselves the right of purchasing the whole at that price. IV. For the purpose of assisting the lessees in the purchase of kettles, and erection of the works, the United States shall advance two thousand five hundred dollars; to be repaid at the end of the lease, with interest, at the rate of six per cent. a year, from the expiration of the first year of the lease. V. The lessees shall give bond with approved security, for the fulfilment of the agreement, and for the re-payment of the money.
The persons who intend to lease, will state in the proposals, the quantity of salt which they will agree to make annually, and the price at which they will engage to sell the same: it being intended, the other terms being equal, and the security indisputable, to lease the spring to those who shall engage to sell the greatest quantity of salt at the lowest price.
Should any persons, otherwise desirous to lease, think the quantity of kettles, as stated in the second article, to be greater than they can establish; they may, in their proposals, state the quantity, expressed in gallons of the contents, which they would agree to establish and keep up.

LONDON, May 25.
A mail arrived this day from Hamburg. Our correspondent in that city in a letter of the 20th, informs us, that it is currently reported there that in the event of a war, France will take possession of that city and the whole of the Lower Elbe. A letter from a commercial house at Berlin, to one of the first houses in Hamburg, affirms, that the King of Prussia has promised a free passage through his states to the French army destined for that purpose.
May 28.
Our Port Letters of this morning will be found particularly interesting. That from Portsmouth, states the arrival yesterday of the squadron under Sir Roger Curtis from the Cape of Good Hope, and of that squadron having taken yesterday at noon, a French East India ship, estimated at one hundred thousand pounds value. The same letter brings an account of the capture of the Hazard loop of war, which event Sir Roger Curtis learned from La Minerva at sea.
The proceedings last night in the House of Commons were particularly interesting and important. Mr. Fox made his promised motion for an Address to his majesty, to avail himself of the proposed mediation of Russia to settle the differences between this country and France; and in the course of the discussion which ensued, Lord Hawkesbury candidly stated the readiness of his majesty's ministers to explain their views to the court of St. Petersburg, and readily to accept the mediation of that power. But his lordship repeated what he had mentioned before, that no direct or precise offer of mediation had been offered on the part of Russia; it was merely of the slightest species of assurance of mediation. It was, however, admitted that, meanwhile, the contest into which we have again been obliged to enter, should be prosecuted with vigour, until views of mediation shall have been realized; and in consequence of Lord Hawkesbury's candid statement, Mr. Fox withdrew his motion.
Private letters from the Hague say— "The French army assembling near Nimeguen has for its ostensible destination the electorate of Hanover, but it is a curious fact, that this army is encamped upon the same ground, where, in 1688, the then Prince of Orange, afterwards King William III. under pretence of interfering in the dispute then subsisting between Prince Clement of Bavaria and the Cardinal of Fürstenberg, collected the army with which he, in November in the same year, invaded England. It is true, that the Prince of Orange had a fleet of 50 sail of men of war to escort his transports; but it is equally true that the Corsican disposer of the lives and liberties of Frenchmen, cares less about the loss of whole armies, than the Prince did for the safety of one single regiment."
Without any intent to alarm you, I have heard from good authority, that "French emiliaries have for some days been busy in taking an account of the numbers, the names, and the tonnage of all vessels, even schuits, in our different harbors; and that they have in the same manner tried to procure the names and number of our sailors," but in this they have been disappointed, as all our sailors are attached to the Prince of Orange, and detest the French, and have, therefore, already began to desert and to conceal themselves. Some official encouragement from England, at this period, might bring you over many of them.
"I repeat again that my intention is not to create alarm; but vigilance, vigour, activity, and unanimity, are absolutely necessary to counteract the designs of a man, who believes in no other Providence but Fortune, and who hitherto, even in his most desperate enterprizes, has never ceased to be its favorite. Remember, that if one army should really attack Hanover, there are already in this country, in Brabant and on the Rhine, upwards of 110,000 men, which are augmenting every day by fresh troops"
May 29.
The recent overtures of France for the renewal of peace, obviously result from the unprepared state of the government to engage in war; after two years of insult and aggression, it were folly to doubt its hostility; yet without foregoing the advantage of the moment, our ministers have determined not simply to leave open the door to negotiation, but to promote, by all confident facility, every intercourse which may tend to accommodation.
Reports founded on this fact, combined with some communications which the Spanish, Dutch and Russian ambassadors have recently made to our government, yesterday occasioned a rise of more than three per cent on our funds. Consols on opening were in the morning at 58 3-4 being 2 1-2 above the prices at which they closed on Friday; they then rose to 61, from which they declined to 59 3-4, and left off at 60 1-4. This rise, although ascribed to reports of peace, we believe to have been occasioned by speculations, as to the means to be adopted by the ministers for raising the supplies for the year, conceiving, as we do, that there does not at the present moment exist the slightest probability of an immediate peace.
We have been letters from Hamburg, stating, that the Senate had made an application to the court of Berlin for its protection of property in that city, in the event of a French invasion. These
letters add, that no answer had been returned. Bonaparte, in one of his guises of passion, declared his determination to exclude the British from all intercourse with the continent, and, in order to do so, to occupy Hamburg, &c. Consistent with this plan, Portugal is to be seized, and annexed to the Spanish monarchy if she refuses to shut her ports against us; and Naples is to form another Italian republic, should she disobey the Consular mandate for our exclusion. The recent march of numerous French corps into Italy, is supposed to have been combined with this project, the avowal of which has induced the Emperor to strengthen his cordon on the Venetian frontiers.
Accounts reached us yesterday from Jersey, of the 24th inst. which state, that two French transports, full of troops have been captured by our cruisers in Le Baye D'Augueme—their destination is not mentioned. These accounts add, that great bustle prevailed at St. Malo fitting out privateers.
An expedition to Holland has been for some days talked of—but whatever may be the wishes of government on the subject, we question their present means for such an enterprize.
Bonaparte has intimated to the petty powers dependent on him, that France will not admit of their neutrality in war; they must be either allies or foes. Holland, Portugal, Spain, Liguria, Cisalpine and Etruria, will be involved in a contest with a power which is nobly struggling for their liberties. We trust it is not possible that Russia, Austria and Prussia will submit to the exercise of a power, which would not only be unjust and oppressive in its immediate operation, but which, if suffered to prevail, must shortly prove fatal to the general independence of Europe.
Bonaparte has twice of late publicly spoken on the subject of his manaced invasion of this kingdom. England, and not Ireland, he has declared to be his object of attack, as success in the former would ensure the fall of the latter, while although victorious in the latter, the former might still resist and baffle his enterprize. He talks of sending his army hither in row-boats during a calm, when our ships cannot act, a measure for which England is better situated than Ireland. That the Chief Consul is sufficiently enthusiastic to entertain such a project, is very credible; that he will be beaten should he attempt it, is very certain. Our fleets, active, enterprizing and vigilant, ensure us protection from the insult of invasion; but should it by any accident reach our shores, can any man be so lost to the proud and generous feelings of a Briton, or so ignorant of our internal power, as to dread the issue?
The regency of Algiers has lately demanded 180,000 dollars from our court, as an equivalent for eighteen slaves, who made their escape from Oran in an English vessel. The Spanish cabinet has paid all arrears due to the Dey, and has further made a present of 50 000 dollars; these sums were immediately applied to the equipment of three fresh cruisers. The Dey threatens the Americans with war, for not sending their tribute in stores, as he required, instead of specie.
Many captures have been made by our cruisers &c. during the week, amongst the most important are, a rich ship from Surinam, by Lord Nelson; a valuable merchantman, by Sir S. Smith; another Surinam ship, by the Diamond; and a French East Indiaman by the Pigmy.
The port of Brest is so closely blockaded, that no vessel can enter it. On Tuesday 5 brigs making for the harbour, were captured, when three of them proved to be laden with naval stores—Eighteen sail of the line are ordered to be prepared at Brest for service. One of the Deal pilots has been seized at Calais, and five men, her crew, sent to prison.
On Friday arrived at Portsmouth the Diomede, Admiral Sir R. Curtis, Jupiter, Brave, and Hindostan, from the Cape of Good Hope, together with the Suffolk, and Favorite, laden with stores from the same place. This squadron had the good fortune to capture the Re-Union, homeward bound French East Indiaman, burthen 800 tons, and valued at 100,000. Several more might have been taken had they sooner known of the commencement of hostilities.
A French brig, called Le Vigilant, from Port-au-Prince, has been captured and sent into Falmouth, by the Resolution. She is laden with fugar and coffee being the whole produce of the island; and had been 55 days on her passage. The captain reports, that just before he failed, the French ship La Virginie, capt. Le Noir, arrived there from Havre, having on board several ladies, as passengers, when she was boarded by the blacks, who murdered the captain and crew, and sent the women into the country, and after every thing had been taken from the vessel, it was burnt. The French ships of war were waiting for instructions from France at the time the Vigilant failed, and about 12 sail were lying at Port-au-Prince. The island was very healthy; the blacks were supposed to be 80,000 strong, and scarcely a night passed without the commission of some outrage.
A report has been circulated of the capture of the Duke of Kent, on his way from Gibraltar.
The Hamburg mail has brought intelligence of the adjustment of the differences between Russia and Sweden by a convention.
The dispatches sent off to the Hague on Saturday, contained definitive orders to our ambassador to demand an explicit declaration of the intentions of the Batavian government.
Numerous arrests are said to have taken place at Paris, within these few days several emigrants have been sent to the Temple.
Private intelligence from France states that the cordon of 20,000 Austrians on the frontiers of Italy is complete, but orders have been sent for 15,000 more troops to join it. This has offended Murat, who had demanded new reinforcements from France. Not only the Italian troops, but the French conscripts desert, in bands of 20 or 30, over to the Austrians. Generals Verdier, Pully and Florella, agree only in their hatred to Murat. The demand of occupying Sicily with French troops has been refused for the third time.
A letter from Algiers, dated April 25, says, Mr. Falcon, the British consul, has been exposed to the most eminent danger. An officer of the Regency and a party of guards summoned him to open his house, the domestics fled, the house was broke open, and two Turkish women found in it, were condemned to receive each 500 blows with a stick. One of the slaves having made a confession which implicated the consul and his secretary—they were both seized, sent on board a vessel, and compelled immediately to put to sea.
Our government, it is said, have received advice that the Dutch will not be suffered to remain neutral. The French have resolved to send no more mails to England; but the English mails to France are sent to Dover in their regular course.
Letters by the Dutch mail states, that an army of 13,000 men, under the appellation of the "Army of Hanover," had been collected at Covenhoven, in order to be immediately marched against the electorate.
A private letter from Paris states—"On the 12th inst. orders were sent for the French troops in Italy, to occupy Ancona, Civita Vecchia, Farentino, and other ports in the Mediterranean and Adriatic. On the same day instructions were forwarded to all French agents in Italy, to insist upon the sequestration of all English property."
Another attempt has been made by the French government to renew the negotiation. A new proposition was on Wednesday presented by the Dutch ambassador to Lord Hawkesbury; but it was of so inamissible a description, as to be instantly rejected. The Auckland packet failed yesterday morning from Dover for Calais, as a flag of truce with dispatches in answer to those which were received from Mr. Talbot on Saturday. The packet returned in the afternoon, brought intelligence, that the two packets which were detained, the Prince of Wales and the Nancy, are to be liberated, and were expected to sail to day. We have not heard whether Mr. Talbot is to be suffered to return home, we rather think that he is not, for as his return is much wished by his majesty's ministers, he would of course avail himself of the opportunity of coming home in the Auckland packet.
Mr. Linton, our ambassador at the Hague, has not as was generally reported, been thrown into prison; but the consular decree has certainly extended to all the English in Holland. Mr. East, the messenger, has been arrested, & General Victor has ordered the crews of three English packets, and the agent for the packets at Helvoetsluys, to be thrown into prison. Disputes, we understand have been sent to Holland, to recall Mr. Linton. M. Schimmelpennick will of course depart immediately. His present situation must be extremely ticklish. It is supposed that a message will tomorrow be delivered to both houses of Parliament from his majesty, announcing, that his majesty has ordered letters of marque and reprisal to be issued against the Dutch.
Spain may be expected to obey the commands of France; but Bonaparte will attempt to delay our hostilities against her for the purpose of enabling her to bring home her treasures and galleons. His majesty's ministers, however will see through this artifice, and we have no doubt will order all Spanish ships to be detained and sent into British ports. The rich Manila squadron put into the Bay, as Sir Roger Curtis was leaving the Cape. It consists of a ship of the line and frigates, all laden with bullion, to the amount, it is said, of four million sterling. What riches in store for our gallant tars!
But this Bonaparte, it seems, attempts to justify himself by the Law of Nations, which he alleges gives him a right to seize the persons of British subjects in his territories, because we have taken ships and made French subjects prisoners without a previous declaration of war. Where did the consul learn the Law of Nations? In one of his new fangled classes of the National Institute?
A formal declaration of war is not necessarily. The recall of ambassadors is a sufficient declaration of war, and proves that two countries are from that moment to be considered as in a state of war. In future, foreigners will be unwilling to visit France; for they will have no guarantee, that the customs and usages of civilized nations will be extended to them, or that their persons will be respected. The arbitrary power of the first magistrate may in a moment consign them to perish in the dark recesses of the temple, or to rot in the damp dungeons of the Conciergerie.
We informed our readers, that Mr. Tierney was to join the present ministers. He has been appointed treasurer of the navy in the room of Mr. Bragge. The appointment will, we believe, be Gazetted this evening. Mr. Tierney will certainly be a most valuable acquisition.
Our Porte letters continue to announce to us the success of our tars. The Hazard loop of war, which was erroneously reported to have been captured, has brought an account of the capture of a French frigate. She was watching the motions of our Channel Fleet, when admiral Cornwallis, willing no doubt that she should have a nearer view of it, sent a frigate after her. She fired a few guns and struck.
Our Dover letter mentions the capture of a fine French West-Indiaman, and that a heavy firing was heard yesterday evening from the Westward.
When Mr. Linton, our ambassador in Holland, discovered the measures taken against him by the English, it was suspected that no British messenger would be allowed to leave the country, and particularly it was supposed no one would be able to sail from Helvoetsluys, the usual place of embarkation. To guard
against this, Mr. East, the messenger, was sent by the way of Helvoet, and Mr. Wagstaff privately took a boat at Scheveling. The former was arrested. The latter made his way to England.
A considerable number of troops have been recently marched into Calais, or quartered along the adjacent coast. The report was generally credited at Calais, that the chief command of all the forces in that part of the republic had been given to general Massena, whose arrival from Paris was daily expected. Massena has during the last two years been boasting in Paris of the facility with which he could invade England, many curious conversations, and some warm debates on the subject have occurred between him and English gentlemen into whose company he has occasionally fallen. He is one of the most dashing, and at the same time avaricious generals in the French service. He would, no doubt, be very happy to levy contributions on London.
PARIS, MAY 21.

An arrest was this day communicated to the three assemblies.
After inserting our orders of council for laying an embargo on French and Dutch ships, and for issuing letters of marque and reprisal, and the maritime prefect's dispatch given above, it orders all French commanders to commence hostilities against English ships. It also orders as follows—
The arrest is followed by a reflection, that we have committed hostilities without any declaration of war, and without any of the forms required by nations, following the odious principle of a public right set up for ourselves alone.
FALMOUTH, May 25.
Ten o'clock, P. M.—This moment learnt, that the Gannet sloop of war has arrived, and brought in with her the Dutch Bark Factor, capt. Hopper, from Demerara, for Middleburgh, with fugar, cotton, &c. She captured her this moment in company with the Active cutter. The Gannet has also taken, and sent for Mount's Bay, a French brig, from Martinique for Havre, and a Dutch ship from Demerara, which she sent for Plymouth.
PHILADELPHIA, May 22.
We have accounts from the Baltic, which say, the Danes have been busily employed in fortifying the entrance of the sound, at Elsinour. They have funk batteries almost to the channel's edge.
FREDERICK-TOWN, July 19.
We have had no rain for forty days—the kitchen gardens are burnt up, and scarcely a vegetable can be procured in Frederick or for many miles round it. The crops of corn, it is feared, will be poor indeed. We are informed by a gentleman from Germantown, that no rain has been had there for ninety one days.
NEW-YORK, July 13.
Late from the West Indies.
Captain Erving, of the sloop Sally, who arrived last evening in 16 days from Antigua, has communicated the following intelligence. That advice was received on the eve of his departure, that Tobago was taken by the British forces. That an expedition had failed from Antigua, consisting of 5 sail of the line and 7000 troops, against Martinique, and that four 74's with the Diamond, Emerald and Venus frigates, had cut out of Port Royal and St. Pierre's (Mar.) 32 sail of French vessels of different descriptions. The brig Busy, had sent three prizes into Antigua, one of which was very valuable, from the coast of Guinea, having on board 373 slaves, 130 boxes of gold dust, and 135 Elephant's teeth. A squadron, consisting of 7 sail of the line, and four transports with troops, had arrived at Barbadoes from Europe, which captured four French vessels on their passage. A very severe impression took place just before the departure of an expedition against Martinique. The American vessels in port were stripped of all their hands in one night, but such as had protections, or could prove their citizenship, were released the next day.
By three French gentlemen who arrived in town from Martinique, and who have brought dispatches for M. Pichon, the French minister, we are favoured with the following particulars.
That a short time previous to their sailing from Martinique (which was on the 4th inst.) a French transport ship of 14 guns, arrived there after a very short passage, and brought accounts that the French troops in Holland, under the command of general Massena, had been ordered by the French government to take possession of the city of Hamburg, which was effected—the shipping and other British property, was seized and confiscated. It was also understood that an army had been ordered to march into Portugal.
There has been several captures of English vessels made by the French, which have been sent into Martinique and Guadalupe, particularly a government schooner of 16 guns, captured off Martinique by the Curieux corvette, of 18 guns, and sent into St. Pierre's. Martinique is blockaded by two ships of the line, two frigates and a sloop of war.
Admiral Joreuse, governor of Martinique, had issued 22 letters of marque previous to their leaving the island. They mention the capture of St. Lucia, and state that the English lost 150 killed and wounded, and the French 225—the garrison of St. Lucia consisted of 4000, and the English forces employed of 4000 men immediately after the capture, the squadron
divided into separate divisions, and left the island. The following proclamation has been received through the same source.
In the name of the French Republic.
PROCLAMATION.
Augustus Ernouf, general of division, inspector general of the French Infantry, captain general of Guadalupe and its dependencies, To the inhabitants of Guadalupe, and to the Army.
CITIZENS, The English government will have war!
In vain the father of Frenchmen, the immortal BONAPARTE, has exhausted before it every proceeding, every means which could insure to France the enjoyment of that tranquillity, of which she has hardly tasted the first fruits. Every sacrifice has been made to obtain that end—but that implacable enemy of Frenchmen, has not been satisfied with the innumerable advantages which it has obtained by its attacks but against the whole world. Its ambition embraces all, from the Indian shores to the Orinoco, from the Nile to the Tagus, it pretends to exercise its tyranny. In the extravagance of its ideas, it believes that on it the empire of the seas is involved. Among the powers which have supported the destructive war, which has rent the continent, which of them has been enriched by the spoils of the other? Is it not England?
Inhabitants of Guadalupe, who have already so victoriously fought her soldiers—You brave warriors who have seen the phantomes fly before you in the fields of Hend-coote, on the coasts of Flanders and Holland—Prepare yourselves to encounter that enemy, who, forgetful of honor and the rights of nations, cowardly takes your defenceless shipping, falling under the faith of treaties. You are now at war with the subjects of that perfidious government! Remember Quiberon, the Camp of St. John, and the horrible attempt of the 3d of Nivole.
Soon will the hero of France re-establish the liberty of the seas, soon will he-precribe just limits to the inordinate ambition of that government, alike the perturbator of his country and of the world.
The colony of Guadalupe and its dependencies, is placed in a state of siege. Done at Basseterre, Guadalupe, the 5th of Messidor, 11th year of the French Republic. (signed) ERNOUF.

By a gentleman who came in the stage last night from Frederickburg, we learn that James Thompson Callender was drowned a few mornings since, either by accident or design. He was in the constant practice of bathing every morning. At x. Advertiser.
There was no truth in the report of the capture of the Duke of Kent, on his way home from Gibraltar. He arrived in England on the 26th of May, and appeared at court the 28th.
M. Jerome Bonaparte, brother to the First Consul, has arrived at Washington, from the West Indies, via Norfolk. Report incorrectly stated that he had come on to this city. Fed. Gaz.
The English news-papers have entered into the war with great spirit, and by the end of harvest, the public mind in England is very likely to be wrought up to the highest pitch of zeal against the French. The political topics already presents many new and unexampled circumstances.
The state of political characters of eminence is a very remarkable one.
Mr. Addington the bosom friend of Mr. Pitt, prime minister of England, in name and form, and salaries.
Mr. Pitt himself out of office, yet lending a vigorous aid to the ministerial measures.
Mr. Fox, always a friend to peace and to a reform of political measures and expenditures, now giving his voice in a qualified way for war.
Mr. Sheridan supporting the principles of a renewal of war with France.
Mr. Grey alone of all the old whig party, opposed to the renewal of war.
Mr. Tierney accepting from the ministry the office of treasurer of the navy, and of course becoming the supporter of all the measures of the administration.
Lord Grenville the cousin of Mr. Pitt, in the highest rage for war, yet in open hostility to the administration.
Mr. Windham in the same temper with Lord Grenville.
It is said that all these contradictions are to be explained by the following circumstances.
That (Mr. Jenkinson) Lord Liverpool continues to be the certain counsellor of the British king.
That the British king entertains a strong personal dislike towards Mr. Pitt.
That Mr. Addington has been put into office to secure the aid and influence of Mr. Pitt.
That the Grenville party composed of Windham and a few others, are offended with Pitt for not deserting Addington, and for countenancing Hawkesbury, Young Jenkinson.
On the other hand different views and considerations actuate the whigs, Fox, Sheridan, &c.
They are sensible that the war carried on must be a desperate one; that to provide the means, will require immense
rigour and danger of revolt by the English people; that to restrain them a strong government (that is a government of terror and cruelty) must be kept up; and that sacrifices such as Despard, Sidney and Russel, must be occasionally offered up on the altar of Belona.
The leaders of the whigs, perceiving that they would be the first victims to this English Robespierreism; and they have for some time determined, like Cicero and Atticus, to take ground upon which they may be secure from at least the first dangers.
These latter circumstances, however, point out with an awful significance the desperation and misery which may be expected from the present war.
NORFOLK, July 16.
Captain Flynn, who arrived here yesterday in 12 days from Antigua, informs, that on the morning of his departure from that place, news of the capture of the island of Tobago was received; the information relied on, and deemed authentic.
NEW-YORK, July 19.
A letter from St. Pierre's Martinique, of the 30th June, received by the brig Phoebe, mentions that all British merchants were ordered to leave that island immediately. This letter does not say a word about the English cutting vessels out of St. Pierre's, but observes that all the French ships are gone to Port Royal.
BOSTON, July 21.
FROM NEWFOUNDLAND.
By Capt. Snow arrived here in the Harlequin, from Liverpool, (N. S.) we learn the capture of the French Islands of St. Peters and Miquelon, with seven sail of Merchantmen, two of the ship loaded with fish and oil for France. A sloop, with fifteen men, who had escaped, and were bound to Boston, were taken by a boat out of Liverpool, and sent to Halifax.
NORFOLK, July 19.
We learn by the brig Friendship, captain Wilman from Aux Cayes, arrived on Sunday, that the situation of the inhabitants, in the island of St. Domingo, was extremely distressing. The brigands in the neighborhood of Aux Cayes have surrounded the place in such a close manner, that it is impossible to obtain forage for their cattle, without a strong force being employed to procure it. Turkeys were selling at the enormous price of 8 to 10 dollars each; Fowls two dollars, and vegetables in proportion. Two vessels with passengers on board have been captured by British cruisers and sent for Jamaica. The Friendship was boarded by an English armed vessel, but being an American was permitted to pass unmolested. Between 50 and 60 passengers came in the above vessel; and as the British cruisers intercept all reinforcements, the inhabitants of St. Domingo were flying in all directions.
THIS is to forewarn all persons from purchasing of the Heirs or Executors of Col. John Campbell dec. of Fayette county, a Mill Boat on Hickman creek, containing about 27 acres, in Jessamine county, as we claim the same by purchase from Col. Campbell in his lifetime, as heirs of John Young, dec. and we expect the deed by which the said land was conveyed was consumed in the Fayette Office when it was burnt; but we expect to be able to prove the purchase and payment, and that the said mill boat was laid off for John Young dec. and he obtained an order to build a mill on the same, and there are all the corners now standing.

This address had the desired effect; the other expecting to have some disagreeable trick served on him, should he disobey, immediately turned his team to one side of the road; but as his opponent passed him, he desired to know how he had served the other man—"Why, (said he) the stubborn rascal swore he would not turn out for me, so I turned out for him!"
