The famous and complete Horse, STIRLING , Never beaten but once, and then by accident.
WAS imported from London by the late John Boomes esq. of the Bowling Green, and extraordinary to relate, he won a King's plate at four years old, and another at five. He was considered while running, by Mr. Weatherby, the author of the racing calendar, and clerk of the course at New-Market, (as will appear by a letter from that gentleman) to be, if not the first, undoubtedly the second horse in England. The celebrated horsetman (supposed by some to be his superior, and the first horse then on the British turf,) paid him a for- feited of 500 guineas, on a match over the Beacon course, [4 miles 1 furlong and 138 yards] for 1000 guineas; Stirling was among the best racers that ever appeared in England; having won eleven races out of twelve, and when beaten, was undoubtedly the best horse that started, as he ran considerably off the course, and even then came in third.
STIRLING is most a beautiful bay horse, and descended from the best stock in England, as will appear from his pedigree below: he is upwards of fifteen hands and a half high, in very high form, extremely gay, with great strength and activity, and is a most capital stallion. Perhaps it may not be amiss to observe, that Stirling's racing was generally four miles, and with the best horses then on the turf; and in order to prove him a horse of great speed, I beg leave to refer the gentlemen of the turf, to the sixth volume of the Sporting Magazine, pages 302 and 303, where speaking of the velocity of the Barb horses, and comparing them with the English horses, the following extract follows in page 303: "It is accordingly said, that the famous running horse Stirling, sometimes ran the first mile (of the New-Market course) in one minute, which is at the rate of 82 feet and a half in a second, an inconceivable swiftness, even supposing it a little exaggerated, as it probably was; but for further satisfaction, we find it confirmed by Dr. May. If such a velocity had continued some seconds, it might have been fairly pronounced, that the horse went swifter than the wind, it being very seldom that the most violent wind makes such way: the greatest known velocity of a ship at sea, is six marine leagues in an hour, and supposing the ship to take the third of the velocity of the wind which impelled it, the speed of that wind would not amount to 80 feet in a second." The subscriber does not pretend to say but the above account may be exaggerated, yet from a fair construction of the extract taken from the Sporting Magazine, he concludes that Stirling was selected as the fleetest horse in England, to compare his speed with that of the Barb horses.
In 1794, Stirling then three years old, won a match of 100 guineas each, at Alton, beating Mr. Grosbey's Victor (this was the first time he started.) He afterwards won at Exham, the Magna Charta stakes of 20 guineas each, fifteen subscribers, beating with ease Mr. Dunders Play-or-Pay, and three others. In 1795, when the property of E. H. Delme esq. He won a 500. plate at New-Market, Duke's course, four miles, beating Lord Strathmore's Horatio, Lord Grosvenor's Lilliput, and Mr. Girdler's Bilibon or Blaze. He won the Jockey Club plate for four years old, (round course) four miles, beating the duke of Grafton's Minion, Lord Clermont's Repeater, and Lord Grosvenor's Capticum. He received a forfeit of 75 guineas from Mr. Rutten's filly at Epsom, and won the king's plate at Ipswich. In 1796, he won at New-Market the second class of the Oatland stakes, beating Mr. Wilson's Caution, Lord Grosvenor's bay colt by Potios, out of String, Mr. Bort's Trotteridge, the duke of Bedford's Bras, Lord Egremont's Fracious, and Lord Darlington's Albourne. He afterwards ran with the winners of the other two classes, for the main of the Oatlands, which he also won, beating Lord Tichfield's Viper, and Lord Grosvenor's Lilliput. The same year he won the king's plate at Burford, beating Mr. Bort's Trotteridge. In 1797, Stirling beat Lord Sackville's Kitean, a match at New-Market, for 300 guineas each: received forfeit from Mr. Henry Vane Tempest's Hambletonian, in a match over the Beacon course for 1000 guineas, half forfeit; won a sweepstakes of 100 guineas each, (seven subscribers) beating Lord Darlington's St. Georges, and others, Duke's course, (four miles.) He was lame before his next engagement, and has not started since.
The above horse will stand the ensuing season (which will commence the 20th inst.) and end on the first day of August following) in Lexington, and cover mares at thirty dollars the season (which may be discharged with twenty dollars paid within the season) with one dollar to the groom for each mare when put. To insure a mare with foal, fifty dollars, to be returned if such should not be the case, if the mare remains the property of the person who owned her when put to the horse. Attested notes for thirty dollars the season, or fifty for an insurance, to be sent with the mares, payable on or before the 15th day of October next.
Good and convenient pasturage is provided for mares coming from a distance gratis. They will be grain fed if required, at a moderate price. Great care and attention will be given to prevent accidents and escapes, but no liability. WM. T. BANTON. Lexington, March 7th, 1806.
I hereby certify, that Stirling was bred by me, and was got by Volunteer (one of the best sons of Eclipse) his dam Harriet, by Highflyer, his grand dam by Young Cade, his great grand dam Chil- derkin by Second, out of the dam of Old Snep; he was got by Fox, her dam Gipsy, by Bay Bolton, grand dam by the duke of New-Castle's Turk, Byerly Turk, Taflet, Barb, Placets white Turk, out of a natural Barb mare.

NEW-YORK, March 13. On a reperusal of our late file of French papers we find the following addition to the list of bulletins: Translated for the Mercantile Advertiser from the appendix to the thirty-first bulletin of the grand army. Austerlitz, Dec. 4. This moment arrived at head quarters the capitulation, forwarded by marshal Angereau of the corps of the Austrian army commanded by general Jellachich. The emperor would have preferred that the prisoners should have been sent to France, even had it occasioned a few days longer blockade; experience having proved, that when permitted to return to Austria, they have soon afterwards been incorporated with the armies. General Wreden, commanding the Bavarians, has had several skirmishes in Bohemia with the arch-duke Ferdinand. He made some hundred prisoners. The prince de Rohan, at the head of a corps of 6000 men, which had been cut off by marshals Ney and Angereau, threw themselves upon Treves, passed the neck of Bohemia, and attempted to penetrate to Venice. He was beaten by general St. Cyr, who made him and his whole corps prisoners. The following is the dispatch of marshal Massena, giving an account thereof to the minister of war: CAPITULATION Of the Austrian army, commanded by lieutenant general Jellachich. The general of division Maurice Mathieu, grand officer of the legion of honor, commanding the second division of the seventh corps of the grand army, authorized by the marshal of the empire Angereau, general in chief of the said corps; and general Wolkeifel, in the service of his imperial and royal majesty the emperor of Germany, authorized by general Jellachich, commander in chief of the Austrian armies in the Voralberg; have agreed on the following articles:— Article I. The corps of the army under the orders of lieutenant-general Jellachich, shall be prisoners of war on parole. The corps shall defer with all the honors of war, the men shall lay down their arms, and shall be conducted into Bohemia to the advanced posts of the Austrian army. II. The officers shall retain their arms, horses and baggage. III. All the horses of the troops, the arms, the whole of the artillery, all the ammunition and military stores, every article that is not private property, shall be given up to the French army. IV. The French army shall take possession of all the Voralberg, Feldkirch, Rudens, and their territories as far as Laramberg. VI. All the officers and all the troops of the corps of the army of lieutenant general Jellachich, shall give their parole of honor, not to serve during the year, reckoning from the date of the present capitulation, against the troops of his majesty the emperor of the French, and king of Italy, or against his allies. VIII. The corps of the Austrian army shall be conducted to Bohemia by the rout of Lindau, Teinang, Biberac, Gunzburg, Amberg, and Retz; it shall march in three columns, at the customary day's march, and shall be treated as to lodging, provisions and forage, in the same manner as the French regiments. IX. The Austrian troops, during their march, shall be, for their government and discipline, under the orders of their own officers, who shall be responsible for their conduct, and shall be accompanied by a French escort. X. An officer of artillery and de genie, an inspector of reviews, and a commissary of war, with a battalion, shall take possession of the arsenals and magazines of Feldkirch to-morrow, 15th November, at noon.

JELLACHICH, F.M.L.  TRANSLATED From French papers received at the office of the Norfolk Public Ledger, by the ship Jane, captain Evans, from Bordeaux. Thirty-third Bulletin of the Grand Army. Austerlitz, December 7. The general in chief Buxhowden, has been killed, with many other Russian generals, whose names are unknown. Our soldiers have collected great quantities of booty. The Russian general Kutusow was wounded, and his son-in-law, a young man of great merit, killed. The dead have been numbered, from which it appears that 18,000 Russians, 600 Austrians, and 900 French are killed. We have 7000 Russians wounded. Including all, we have 3000 French wounded; general Roger Valhuber is dead in consequence of his wounds. An hour
before his death, he wrote the emperor as follows: "I wished to have done more for you; in one hour I shall be no more, I regret it not, since I have participated in a victory which assures you a happy reign—When you shall think of those brave men, who devoted themselves to you, remember me. It is enough for me to mention to you that I have a family, I need not recommend it to your protection." Generals Kellerman, Sebastiani and Thiebaut, are out of danger, Generals Maury and Demont are wounded, but not dangerously. It must be interesting to be informed of the different decrees successively made by the emperor in favor of the army; they are here subjoined. The corps of general Buxhowden which occupied the left of the army, consisted of 27,000 men; not a single one has rejoined the Russian army. It was exposed for 7 hours to the fire of 40 pieces of cannon, a part of which composed the artillery of the imperial guard. The carnage was horrible. The loss sustained by the Russians cannot be calculated at less than 45,000 men killed, wounded and taken prisoners, and the residue who will return home with the emperor of Russia, will not exceed 25,000. May this prove a salutary lesson to this young prince, and induce him to abandon the policy which English gold has purchased. May he recur to those old principles which are adapted to the interest of his country and character, & break the yoke imposed on him by the vile oligarchs of London. The great Catharine understood well the genius and resources of Russia, when at the time of the first coalition, she declined sending an army, and was content to aid it with her counsels and good wishes. But she had the experience of a long reign, and a knowledge of the character of her nation, to guide her; she had reflected on the dangers of coalitions.—This experience cannot be acquired at the age of 24 years. When Paul her son, marched his armies against France, he soon discovered that those errors are the least injurious which are the shortest—and after one campaign he withdrew his troops. If Woronzow (now in London) were not more an Englishman than a Russian, a very different idea would be formed of his talents, to admit that he could suppose that 60, 80 or 100,000 Russians were competent to disgrace France, to induce her to bend to the British yoke, to abandon Belgium, and to force the emperor to resign his Italian crown to the degenerate race of the Sardinian sovereigns. The Russian troops are brave, but infinitely less so than the French. Their generals are quite inexperienced, and their soldiers are so ignorant and stupid as to render their arms by no means redoubtable. Supposing moreover the possibility of the Russians being victorious, Russia herself must have been depopulated to have attained the senseless object, prescribed to them by the oligarchs of London. The battle of Austerlitz, took place near the tomb of the celebrated Kunitz. This circumstance has made a strong impression among the people of Vienna. By his prudence and judgment, & particularly by his invariably maintaining harmony between France & Austria, he had brought Austria to a high degree of prosperity. Here follow the names of the Russian generals made prisoners; many others were slain in the field of battle. There are moreover, 4 or 500 officers killed—among whom are reckoned 20 majors and lieutenant colonels, and more than one hundred captains. Prebizenki, Wimpfen, Muller, Zakoumsky, Mul-Berg, Selchow, Stritzky, Szerliakow, Prince Reptir, prince Siberky, Adrian, Lagoon, Salima, Mazenkow, Woyicoff. The emperor has commanded M. Talleyrand, who was at Vienna, to repair to Brunn. M. Maret has joined his majesty at Austerlitz. The emperor left last night at Brunn. Thirty-fourth Bulletin of the Grand Army. Brunn, December 10. The emperor received yesterday prince Repnin, made prisoner at the battle of Austerlitz at the head of the horse guards, of which he was the colonel. His majesty told him that it was not his wish to deprive the emperor Alexander of such brave troops, and that he had permission to collect all the prisoners of the Russian imperial guard, and return with them into Russia—His majesty expressed his regret that the emperor of Russia should have hazarded

a battle, and observed that had his majesty been less sanguine, he might have spared the blood and honour of his army.
Prince John of Lichtenstein arrived here yesterday, invested with full powers to negotiate—The conferences between him and M. Talleyrand are carried on very rapidly.
His majesty's first aid-de-camp Ju-not, who was dispatched to the emperors of Germany and Russia, saw the emperor of Germany at Holtenau, who received him very graciously. He was unable to prosecute his mission, on account of the emperor Alexander's having set off for St. Petersburg, attended by Gen. Kutusow.
His majesty received at Brunn M. Haugwitz, and appeared very well satisfied with the communications made by that plenipotentiary, whom he received in the most flattering manner, in consequence of his having been opposed to a connexion with England, as well as on account of the reputation of his counsels, to which is attributed the present prosperity of Prussia. As much cannot be said of another minister, who, born in Hanover, has not been found inaccessible to the influence of gold. But all these intrigues have and will prove impotent, when opposed to the king of Prussia's superior good sense and discernment. As to the rest, the French nation is dependent on no one, and one hundred and fifty thousand enemies in addition, would have protracted the war a short time longer. France and Prussia under these circumstances have reason to be thankful to the duke of Brunswick, the marshal Mollendorf, De Knobelsdorff, Lombard, and above all the king himself. The intrigues of England have often been attended with success, but in order to form a conclusion, it is necessary to take a view of the question in all its bearings, all their intrigues have been baffled by the will of the king. In fact those who conducted them, strangely abused his confidence; can Prussia have a more powerful and faithful ally than France.
Russia is the only power in Europe who can engage in war from motives of caprice; after a battle lost or gained, Russia can retire; France, Austria and Prussia, on the contrary, must deliberate a long time on the consequences of the war, one or two battles are insufficient to exhaust the chances of it.
The Moravian peasantry kill the Russians whenever they meet with them in small parties. They have already destroyed a hundred. The emperor of the French has given orders for cavalry patrols to ride over the country and prevent this violence. Since the enemy's army has retired, the Russian's left behind it are placed under the protection of their conquerors. It is undeniable that they have committed so many excesses and atrocities, that it is not surprising that vengeance should be taken of them. They maltreat the poor as well as rich; 300 lashes seem to them but a moderate punishment. There are no outrages which they have not attempted. Pillage, firing of villages, massacres, such was their amusement. They have even murdered priests at the altar! Wretched must be the sovereign who shall bring such a scourge upon his country. The battle of Austerlitz has proved an European victory, since it has removed the imposture which has attached to these barbarians.
This application, however, cannot apply to the court, or the greater number of officers, nor to the inhabitants of the cities, who on the contrary, are civilized even to luxury.
Thirty-Fifth Bulletin of the Grand Army.
Brunn, December 11.
The Russian army in three columns began its march the 8th December, on its return to Russia. The first has taken the way of Cracovia and Therespal, the second that of Katchaw, Lamberg, and Brodi, and the third that of Czernau, Watrell, and Hussatin. At the head of the first has departed the emperor of Russia, with his brother the grand duke Constantine.
Besides the artillery used in the battle, an entire park consisting of 100 pieces of cannon, has been taken from the Russians, with all their ammunition waggons. The emperor has been to see this park of artillery; he has given orders for its transportation into France.
(Here follows the names of the officers who distinguished themselves in the battle of the 2d.)
Milan, November 29. We just learn that an Anglo-Russian squadron, consisting of 12 ships of war and several transports, had landed 12 or 15,000 men at Naples, the 20th November last.
Immediately after the landing, the ambassador of his majesty the emperor of France and king of Italy removed the arms of France, which were placed at the gates of his palace, and demanded his passports.
The passports were granted, and the ambassador retired to Rome. On this subject a royal proclamation has been issued at Naples, the terms of which convey a just idea of the earnestness with which that court has attempted to make its neutrality respected.
Private letters worth credit, assure us that his Sicilian majesty has engaged to join the Anglo-Russian force with a body of peasantry, the levy of which has been already commenced.
These letters add, that the command this Napoli-Anglo-Russian army, is given to the Russian general Lucy, who has resided in Naples six or seven months past, and that the guard of the city of Naples has been confided to an English corps of 1800 men.
It has not yet transpired what are to be the projects of the military assembled at Naples—But all the world well knows what success may be expected to attend an army composed of three different people,—strangers to each other, and opposed in habits and language and even interests.
Nevertheless, it is certain that the English squadron suffers extremely in consequence of an epidemic, that in putting into Sicily, it was under the necessity of leaving 300 sick there, and that since the landing at Naples, the hospitals of that capital had been encumbered with Russians and English.
Let us hope, for the welfare of Naples, and even for that of the Anglo-Russians, that the bulletins of the grand army will reach them soon enough to avert from them the fate in reserve, should they dare to oppose their forces to ours. Let us hope that the Anglo-Russians will hasten to shew themselves faithful to the first article of the capitulation proposed to prince Murat, by the aid-de-camp of his majesty of all the Russias, and that they will take the opportunity of returning to their ports, the same way that they came.
However it may be, the news of the landing at Naples and the manner in which the Russians and English have been there received, demands of us a few observations which cannot be suppressed.
Thus then has the court of Naples reserved for itself the detestable honour of surpassing in perfidy even the court of London.
Thus at the very moment that this court ratified at Portici, 8th October, 1805, the treaty of neutrality, that her ambassador had signed at Paris 21st September, at the moment she promised, 1st article of the treaty, to repeal by force every attempt which should be made against the rights and duties of her neutrality—she not only neglects to repel our enemies by force, but moreover consents to deliver up her own people to act as auxiliaries to England and Russia against France and Italy.
Thus at the moment when this country promised on her honour, 2d article of the treaty, not to suffer any corps of troops belonging to any belligerent power to be landed or to advance into any part of her territory; she promised England and Russia to open to them her ports, her arsenals and her hospitals.
Thus at the moment when this court engaged, 3d article of the treaty, not to confide the command of her armies or fortified places, to any officers, Russian, English or Austrians; she promised to dispose her peasantry under the orders of the Russian general Lucy, and to confide to the English the custody of its own capital.
Thus, in short, at the moment when the emperor of the French and king of Italy, faithful to the 5th article of the treaty, withdrew all his forces from the territory of Naples and delivered up the places & ports of the country, to Neapolitan officers, the king of Naples engaged to expel his own officers from these ports and military places, and to replace them by the English and Russians.
Such infamy and baseness will not escape with impunity. The indignation of all people, the discipline and valour of the French and Italian armies, the genius of their augu-
commander, will avenge the present generation for the base perfidy, of which the queen of Naples has just given so odious an example.
That God, who punishes perjury, will conduct if it be necessary your squadrons to new triumphs. Already, at the very moment that these traitors lay their hostile plots, does that God seem to have forewarned them by the fires of Vesuvius, of the fate reserved for them by our veterans.
The people of the kingdom of Italy will be temperate in the expression of their just indignation, they will confide in the wisdom and foresight of their government. Who of us can doubt that our august monarch and his worthy representative has taken every measure which they have judged necessary to our defence and our interests?
Should the enemy attempt the foolish project of marching against us they will be doubtless arrested in their career, they will never reach the frontiers of our kingdom, they will be vanquished before their eyes meet that happy and peaceable country, into which they hoped to carry brutality, devastation and ruin.
BRUNN, December 8. NAPOLEON
Emperor of the French and King of Italy. We have decreed and decree as follows:
Article I. A contribution of one hundred millions of francs, shall be levied on Austria, Moravia, and the other provinces of the House of Austria, occupied by the French army.
II. This sum to be given by way of donation to the army, conformably to the plan of distribution which we shall decree.
III. The amount of the value of all the magazines of salt, tobacco, arms, powder and warlike stores, which are not found necessary to the equipment of our army, and which the commander of the artillery shall not deem expedient to transport to France, but which he shall order to be sold, shall be deposited in the military chest, belonging to the army, to be distributed among it in rewards.
IV. From the first supplies of this contribution, and on that raised upon Suabia, three month's pay as a reward, shall be bestowed on every general, officer or soldier, who shall have been, or may be wounded in the present war.

The grand marshal of our palace, and our intendant general of the house, shall be charged respectively with the execution of the present decree, which shall be made the order of the day, and pass forthwith into a law.
DECEMBER 11.
The small town of Nicholburg, in which are assembled the Austrian and French Plenipotentiaries, charged with the negotiations for peace, between those powers, is situated on the frontiers of Lower Austria and Moravia. The castle, which is a very fine one, belongs to the prince Dietrichstein. The place, heretofore but little known, at present, is about to become celebrated in history, as being the seat where various treaties are to be negotiated. The Plenipotentiaries of Russia and Prussia, are, it is said, to repair thither to treat separately of the interests of their respective sovereigns. It is generally believed, that the definitive treaty between France and Austria, will be concluded before any arrangements are made between the courts of France and Berlin, and while M. de Haugwitz is waiting the return of couriers, which he is obliged to despatch for the instructions of his majesty. As to the rest, the battle of Austerlitz will hasten the conclusion.
The French armies, profiting by the armistice which has been so generously granted to the enemy, are about to enjoy that repose they so well merited. The different corps which compose the grand army, and the army of Italy, are to repair to the different Austrian provinces, conquered by the French armies.
They write from Munich, that the army of marshal Massena is to be cantoned in Carniola, Itria, Frioul, and the duchy of Venice. The city of Venice, and the fortified islands in the environs, are to be occupied by the French troops. Marshal Ney is to occupy Carinthia, the corps under marshal Davoust and general Marmont, are to be sent to Styria. Marshal Bernadotte and the Bavarian troops, are to occupy the circle of Iglau, and the circle of Bohemia, comprised in the line of demarcation. The corps under marshal Lannes, and a part of that under prince Murat, are to remain in Moravia. The remainder of the troops are to repair to Upper and Lower Austria.
It is said, that the archduke Charles is posted on the frontiers of Hungary, which position he will retain until the result of the negotiations for peace shall be known.
LONDON, January 24. We stopped the press yesterday, to announce that government had received dispatches from Berlin, communicating the intelligence, that an arrangement or convention had been entered into between Prussia and Bonaparte, by which, the former is to occupy Hanover with her troops, till the establishment of peace between the belligerent powers.
In consequence of that convention, our troops are to return home, and orders have in consequence been sent for their embarkation, on board the transports in the Weiler—the convention, we suppose, extends to the Russians and Swedes, who are also to return to their respective homes.
NEW-YORK, March 23. By the Ann, captain Buth, from Amsterdam, we have received Dutch papers to the 13th ult. one of which contains a proclamation of the king of Prussia, declaring, that in consequence of a convention between him and the emperor of the French, the states of his Britannic majesty in Germany, will be occupied by him, until the conclusion of a general peace.
The Editors of the New-York Gazette have received, from the Flora from the Downs, London papers to the fifteenth of February, from which they have given interesting details.
It is said, that Mr. Fox, a short time previous to his coming into the ministry, expressed himself averse to the proceedings respecting neutral commerce, which have been recently complained of.

In the house of representatives of the United States, Mr. Clark, after charging the Post-Master General with having conspired against the representatives of the people, by attempting to secure a press in favour of a claim he had before the house, moved the following resolution, which was agreed to, without a division:
Resolved, that a committee be appointed to enquire into the conduct of Gideon Granger, Post-Master General of the U. S. and report their opinion, whether the said Gideon Granger has so acted, in his capacity of Post-Master General, as to require the interposition of the constitutional power of this house.

It was reported at Nantz the 21st Feb when the Richmond failed, that several attempts had been made to assassinate Bonaparte; and that several ladies of high rank had been arrested, on suspicion of being concerned in the attempt.
THE EXHIBITION.
At 2 o'clock P. M. repaired to the Hall of the University—The Students in natural and moral philosophy, and the sublime and captivating science of astronomy, were yet to pass an examination. In the study of these, the literary world must entertain but one sentiment, whatever diversity of opinion may exist, respecting the utility of studying foreign, or dead languages. The true principles of natural and moral philosophy, will regulate our intercourse with mortals. It will define our individual, social, and religious duties; by ascertaining the origin and progress of property, and personal rights, we ascertain their just limits, and the equal rights of our neighbours. These principles well established, the foundation of religious freedom is already laid. With real satisfaction, do we hear the true principles of religious toleration inculcated, at this rising Seminary. Positive laws may restrain the actions of men; but what tribunal shall interpose between the man and his Maker? Astronomy is the most sublime of every science; because we are thereby made acquainted with the mighty works of God. While our young men survey the planetary world—while they can measure with precision, the magnitude of a single orb, its immense distance, the inclination of its axis, the celerity of its motion, and the period of its elliptic journey round the source of day, their belief in a Divine First Cause, and their profound admiration of his wisdom, are no longer problematical.
At 4 o'clock, in regular procession, we repaired to the Meeting House, and were entertained by the junior Students, in their attempts at elocution. Several sprightly pieces were delivered, adapted to their years and literary standing. Evidences of genius were not wanting, and some of their gestures were easy and apposite: but I cannot think a continual agitation of the body, the head, or the limbs, is either correct, or graceful, any more than a monotony in reading. The too common failing of youth, was also apparent; namely, too rapid delivery; to the manifest injury of distinct articulation, an indispensable requisite in a public speaker. The force of this remark, can never be better exemplified, than by referring the young Students to the delivery of the eulogium, the next morning, on the death of General Warren. With due deference to public opinion, I cannot discover why the usual mark of approbation is withheld by the audience, from a good speaker. It is certainly a powerful stimulant, in the breath of a young Cicero. It is certainly practiced in some of the first Seminaries in America; and I know of but one formidable objection, which may be made; there may be some to illiberal, or ill-bred, as to his performance. Such a conduct I shall never hesitate to assert, is abusive, when applied to any one who performs, without a fee or reward. If such would be the practice, I would still consider such offenders ignorant of just distinctions.
Wednesday was wholly devoted to exhibitions in oratory, by the senior class. An audience, numerous and respectable, with a handsome proportion of the Fair Sex, gave interest to the occasion. The grammarian might indeed criticise in some instances, on the pronunciation. Some gestures were in violation of established rules; but there are incidents, inseparable from young practitioners, which time, observation, and experience will remedy. The writer of this, not wholly unacquainted with the instruction and progress of youth, in the pleasing, and (in every free country,) the important art of elocution, attended the exhibition last autumn. Though a stranger to all, he noticed some promising speakers on that occasion. It is but just to declare, that some of them have made a proficiency, highly honourable to their infant institution, and its able professors. There were performers on Wednesday, who would vindicate the reputation of much older institutions; and who, by application and experience, may ere long, become masters in eloquence. RESIDENTARY.

23 FOR SALE, 18,000 Acres of Land, ON the left hand side of the three forks as you go up the Kentucky, and at their junction. This land runs along the river three miles, and nine miles back. The bottoms are rich land; the ridges are capable of producing wheat, and other small grain. The pasturage is excellent for raising stock of all kinds, as it has a plenty of cane brakes, and peavines. All along the river is the sugar tree, wild cherry, and other woods common to this country. When you go back some distance, is the pine; which produces tar, turpentine, pitch and rosin; which will finally be valuable, independent of the wood that is upon the land. There is also a rock close to low water mark; that when the water is very low, shews clear salt upon its surface; and the rock itself tastes salt. There has been three water-witches (as they call them), trying the experiment, and say, there is four feet square of very salt water at the top of the bank, which is not an hundred feet from the water; and close to it a very easy ascending hill, for several miles; and also the wood along the river. A coal bank within three hundred yards. There is also five valuable coal banks, which are near the river, with easy access to them. A coal yard and boat yard; and it is said, several salt-petre caves. The bottoms and along the creeks would produce good cotton or hemp. Lexington alone, independent of the country blacksmiths, consumes thirteen thousand bushels per annum. We will suppose Frankfort five thousand, which sells at the landing at one shilling per bushel, and twenty thousand might be sold: this might be made productive by a man of small capital. Independent of these advantages, the mouth of the three forks is the best fishing place in the State. In a small crib they can get five hundred pounds of fish in a day, and may get by a sein, five or seven hundred barrels per annum. Tobacco, flour, beef, pork, tallow, hogs' lard, hemp, cordage, whiskey, or salt iron, will be taken in payment. Part credit will be given. If the whole cannot be sold, a half will be sold, or a third. A clear and indisputable deed will be given. For terms apply to Mr. Wm. Leavy Lexington, or at this office. Lexington, December 4, 1805. N. B. There are a number of acres of clear bottom land, and several log houses upon the above lands.
