The Noted Running Horse, DARE DEVIL, (OR JOHNSON'S COLT.) STANDS in Lexington, near the lower end of Mr. Dodge's rope walk and adjoining Mr. J. Maxwell's field, at the white stable on the late extension of Upper-Street; to be let to mares at ten dollars the season, which may be discharged by the payment of six within the season, twenty-five cents at the stable door.
DARE DEVIL is an elegant deep bay, black legs, mane and tail, full 15 1-2 hands high, was got by the old imported Don Carlos, his dam by old Harmless, his grand dam by col. Fitzhugh's noted True Whig. To say more of his pedigree I conceive unnecessary. His colts are large and very elegant, and those that have been tried, are found to be horses of great strength and activity, fine figure and gaiety and have, when grown up, commanded very high prices; Dare Devil is a horse of fine figure, and great gaiety & sprightliness, and certainly possesses the grand requisites either for the turf, saddle or harness; excellent eyes, fine limbs, strong bone, muscular strength and action equal perhaps to any horse in the United States, as will appear from the following sketch of his performance.
In the fall '97, he won the Jockey Club colt's purse at Lexington; in the fall '98, he distanced the noted running horse Weazle, four miles the heats, at Maj. Blackburn's course; the same fall he won a purse at Frankfort, beating several fleet horses; was brought to Lexington the next day by 12 o'clock, notwithstanding the roads were very deep and heavy, was started immediately (without being cleaned) flew the course, leaped a high fence that was put up at a short turn in the course with the intent to keep the horses from flying off the course, was leaped back, saved his distance that heat, and took the purse, two miles the heats, beating col. Bobb's noted running stud horse Black Shark, and col. Ribby's Roan. In August '99, he won a quarter race for 100. at Miller's Town, carrying 200 lbs. to a catch, beating col. Buckner's mare, a noted quarter nag; the same year, in September, he received a forfeit of 500 dollars, on a match with the noted running stud horse Alfred, two miles the heats; the same fall he won a purse at Danville, two miles the heats; the next week he won a purse at Bairdstown, three miles the heats, beating Black Shark, and distancing the noted horse Gold Wire, one week after walked over the course at Louisville for the the first day's purse. There are a great number of other races formerly run by Dare Devil, which he was successful in, but do not state them lest I might be inaccurate; one however I am informed of by Mr. Gatewood—a purse race, the heats, at George Town, where he more than double distanced the famous running horse Diomedes, which had been kept by Mr. Gatewood. I believe I may say with propriety, that he has run and won more races than any horse that ever run in this state.
The foregoing statement of his pedigree and performance, is impartial and precise, as near as I could ascertain from good authority.
ALSO, The High Bred Race Horse GRAY-SQUIRREL, Stands at the same place, to be let to mares at 5 dollars the season, which may be discharged by the payment of three within the season, twenty-five cents at the stable door. GRAY-SQUIRREL was got by the famous full bred horse Eolus, out of Capt. Prior's noted running gray mare Cade; her performance on the turf in Kentucky, is well known, she won six purse races in one season.
Gray-Squirrel was started at 3 years old, for a purse at Nicholasville, he won the first heat easily, but lost the race by an accident of running against a stump. At 4 years old he ran a match race, single three miles, over the Lexington track, against col. Sanders's famous horse Albert, for 500 dollars, and won the race with ease. The same fall he won a purse at the Forks of Elkhorn, from several good horses. He is of a large and excellent running family of horses. N. BURROWES. Lexington, March 8.
N. B. Good pasturage for mares at a moderate price, and every attention paid to them, but will not be liable for accidents or escapes. P.S. Such mares as did not stand to the horse last season, and have not been transferred, may have a reprieve.

Certificates from men of the first rank and respectability there, now in our possession, prove him to be equal, as a foal getter, to any horse in Virginia, either imported or country bred. E. WARFIELD.

We have printed the names of federal members in Italic ; and it appears that the whole number of members who voted are 122
Of which all those who voted in the affirmative are republican, amounting to 87
And that of those who voted in the negative, 35
There are republican 11 federal 24
Of the 11 republican members voting in the negative, some, to our knowledge, voted against the resolution, not from any indisposition to resort to efficient measures, but from the desire of taking higher ground.
Considering the federal members as systematically in opposition, and leaving them out of view, the vote stands as 87 to 11. Can the friends of energetic measures wish for more? Can Britain after this vote, be so blind as to calculate upon our divisions? Will she not see, on the contrary, that the people of this nation, and the organs of their will, are deeply impressed with the aggravated injuries they have received, and are resolutely determined to resist them; and that the executive arm of the government, while it is ready, as it always has been, to adjust our differences by amicable means, is served by a confidence which, so far from having been shaken by opposition, has received new vigor from the increased and increasing affection and respect of a just and enlightened people.
REPORT
Of the Secretary of State on the impressment of American seamen by British vessels. The Secretary of State, in compliance with the order of the House of Representatives of the 6th of January, directing him to lay before it "the number of American seamen who have been impressed or detained by the ships of war or privateers of Great Britain, whose names have been reported to the department of state since the statement was made to the house, at the last session of congress; mentioning the names of the persons impressed, with the names of the ships or vessels by
which they were impressed, and the time of the impressment; together with any facts and circumstances in relation to the same, which may have been reported to him: stating also the whole number of American seamen impressed, from the commencement of the present war in Europe, and including in a separate column the number of passengers, if any, who may have been taken out of American vessels coming to the United States from Europe," has the honor to transmit herewith the names of nine hundred and thirteen persons who appear to have been impressed from American vessels, and whose names have been reported to the department of state since the last statement was made to Congress; together with a discrimination in the particulars required by the order, except as hereafter mentioned.
The aggregate number of impressments into the British service, since the commencement of the present war in Europe, is found to be two thousand two hundred and seventy-three .
It is not easy to distinguish, with accuracy, how many of these persons were really not citizens of the United States, but the column of remarks, added to the list in lieu of this discrimination, will exhibit some ground for judging of the fact.
It has not been deemed necessary to make a separate column for impressed passengers, as this description of persons have been reported to be impressed but in the few cases subjoined.
It is proper to observe, that a small part only of the period since the last statement, there was an agent for seamen for the leeward islands at Jamaica; the gentleman who then held the charge having resigned it, and another, who had been appointed to succeed him, having declined accepting it. The agent appointed for Antigua having been absent from that island since his appointment in May last, no returns have been received from the windward islands. From these circumstances it is very probable, that many impressments have been made in the West Indian seas, which, though of a recent date, are not included in the present report.
All of which is respectfully submitted. JAMES MADISON. Department of State, March 5.
LONDON, January 22. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY, JANUARY 21.
The parliament was, this day, in the absence of the king, opened with the usual formalities, by commission.
Before 3 o'clock, a considerable number of peers attended; and at that hour, the archbishop of Canterbury, the lord chancellor, the earl of Dartmouth, earl Camden, and lord Auckland, took their seats in their robes, as his majesty's commissioners, on the bench, in front of the throne. Mr. Quarme, deputy usher of the black rod, was then dispatched, to order the attendance of the commons, who forthwith, with the speaker at their head, appeared at the bar.
The royal commission, authorizing certain peers, therein named, or any three or more of them to open the parliament, and in the name & in behalf of his majesty, was then read; after which, the lord chancellor, or organ of the commissioners, delivered the following speech to both houses:—
My Lords and Gentlemen,
In pursuance of the authority given to us by his majesty's commission, under the great seal, among other things to declare the cause of his holding this parliament, his majesty has directed us particularly to call your attention to the most decisive success with which providence has vouchsafed to bless his majesty's arms at sea, since you were last assembled in parliament.
The activity and perseverance of his majesty's fleet have been conspicuously displayed in the pursuit and attack of the different squadrons of the enemy, and every encounter has terminated to the honor of the British flag, and the diminution of the naval force of the powers with whom his majesty is at war; but the victory obtained over the combined fleet of France and Spain, off Trafalgar, has manifested, beyond any exploit recorded even in the annals of the British navy, the skill and enterprize of his majesty's officers and seamen; and the destruction of so large a portion of the naval strength of the enemy, has not only confirmed, in the most signal manner, the maritime superiority of this country, but has essentially contributed to the security of his majesty's dominions.
His majesty most deeply regrets that the day of that memorable triumph should have been unhappily clouded with the fall of the heroic commander under whom it was achieved; and he is persuaded that you will feel that this lamentable, but glorious termination of a series of transcendent exploits, claim a
distinguished expression of the lasting gratitude of the country, and that you will therefore cheerfully concur in enabling his majesty to annex to those honours which he has conferred on the family of lord viscount Nelson, such a mark of national magnificence, as may preserve, to the latest posterity, the memory of his name and services, and the benefit of his great example. His majesty has commanded us further to inform you, that whilst the superiority of his arms at sea has been thus uniformly asserted and maintained, he has not been wanting in his endeavours to apply the means which were so liberally placed at his disposal, in aid of such of the powers of the continent as evinced a determination to resist the formidable and growing encroachments of France. He has directed the several treaties entered into for this purpose, to be laid before you: And though he cannot but deeply lament, that the events of the war in Germany have disappointed his hopes, and led to an unfavourable issue, yet his majesty feels confident, that, upon a review of the steps which he has taken, you will be of opinion that he has left nothing undone on his part to sustain the efforts of his allies, and that he has acted in strict conformity to the principles declared by him, and recognized by parliament, as essential to the interests and security of his own dominions, as well as to the general safety of the continent.
It is a great consolation to his majesty, and one in which he is persuaded you will participate, that altho the emperor of Germany has felt himself compelled to withdraw from the contest, his majesty continues to receive from his august ally, the emperor of Russia, the strongest assurances of his unshaken adherence to that generous and enlightened policy by which he has hitherto been actuated; and his majesty has no doubt that you will be fully sensible of important advantages to be derived from preserving at all times the closest and most intimate connexion with that sovereign.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons, His majesty has directed the estimates for the year to be laid before you, that they are framed upon the scale of exertions, which the present situation of the country renders indispensable. His majesty fully relies upon your granting him such supplies, as, upon due deliberation, the public exigencies may appear to require.
It is his earnest wish to contribute by every means in his power, to alleviate the additional burthen which must necessarily be imposed upon his people, and with this view he has directed the sum of one million sterling, part of the proceeds arising from the sale of such prizes made on the powers with which he is at war, as are by law vested in the crown, to be applied to the public services of the year.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
His majesty is most fully persuaded that whatever pride and confidence you may feel in common with him, in the success which has distinguished the British arms in the course of the present contest, you will be sensible how much the events of the war on the continent, by which the predominant power and influence of France have been so unhappily extended, require the continuance of all possible vigilance and exertion. Under this impression, his majesty trusts that your attention will be invariably directed to the improvement of those means which are to be found in the bravery and discipline of his forces, the zeal and loyalty of every class of his subjects, and the inexhausted resources of his dominions, for rendering the British empire invincible at home, as well as formidable abroad; satisfied that by such efforts alone, the contest can be brought to a conclusion, consistent with the safety and independence of the country, and with its rank amongst the nations of the world.
June 27. According to intelligence of the 28th of December, from St. Petersburg, an increased activity prevailed in the military department after the return of the emperor. Greater exertions were making for the augmentation of the army than at any period of the war.
January 29. The heir apparent is naturally consulted through all the stages of the arrangement, at the express desire of the king. Lord Grenville will no doubt be first lord of the treasury. Mr. Fox, of course, the principal secretary of state for foreign affairs, an office

which has invariably been the object of his choice. Mr. Windham is likewise named as secretary of state for the war department; so far we believe to be settled. Whether earl Spencer, Mr. Grey, or the marquis of Buckingham, goes to the admiralty, is not decided. Earl Moira is expected to have the master generalship of the ordnance; and earl Fitzwilliam, if his health permit, will probably be lord lieutenant of Ireland. It is thought that the seals will be put in commission, but that Mr. Erskine will ultimately become chancellor.
January 30. Marquis Cornwallis.—The friends of this country, and the admirers of true worth, have another great subject of regret in the death of this most amiable nobleman. The melancholy tidings arrived yesterday, in the dispatches dated the 23d of October, 1805, which were brought by the Medusa frigate from Bengal. G. A. Robison, Esq. private secretary to his lordship, was the bearer of these dispatches.
The Medusa frigate left Bengal on the 3d of November. She brings advices, that previous to the much lamented death of that nobleman, Scindia had entirely separated himself from the interests of Holkar, & had delegated a Vakeel with full powers to enter into a negotiation for peace with the British government. The Vakeel had been publicly received in camp by lord Lake. Sir R. Barlow, on whom the government devolved on the death of marquis Cornwallis, had passed Benares, on his way to the Upper Stations, to direct the course of the negotiations. Holkar's troops, were again in motion, and had advanced towards the country of the Seiks, from whom, however, it is not apprehended he would derive any assistance.
Dispatches were this morning received by government from Berlin, which state, that an arrangement had taken place between his Prussian majesty and Bonaparte, in consequence of which, the electorate of Hanover is to be occupied by Prussian troops until the conclusion of a peace between the belligerent powers.
Orders have, we believe, been sent for the immediate return of the British troops now on the continent and as there are a great number of transports in the Wesel, the embarkation will take place without delay.
Last night we received the Hamburg Correspondent of the 14th, 15th, 17th and 18th instant, which anticipate two of the Hamburg mails, those due on Wednesday and Saturday fortnight.
The intelligence which these papers contain, tends strongly to confirm what we recently predicted relative to the intentions of France respecting the Turkish empire. Private letters from Vienna are quoted as an authority for a rumour, that 60,000 French troops, under the command of general Marmont, were to join the Austrians and take possession of Bosnia and Servia for the Emperor Francis. These kind of rumours have lately been the fore-runners of some new attack made by France upon the states of Europe, and this report, thus announced, coupled with the former account, that Austria was to be indemnified in the east, leaves no doubt that a long period will not elapse, before an attempt is made to sever Bosnia and Servia from the Ottoman empire. Has then the emperor Francis so soon forgotten the wrongs he has suffered from the ruler of France—Has he already consented to become the colleague and coadjutor of Bonaparte in an unjustifiable coalition, the only exciter of which is lawless ambition—its only object plunder? We fear the answers to these questions must be too truly in the affirmative.
The French troops appear to be marching to those points from whence a great and immediate impression can be made upon the Turkish provinces. Massena remained with a formidable army in the Venetian territories, whither Ney's division was also marching. The latter was probably intended to occupy Dalmatia. From these points the French troops may easily pour into the provinces of Turkey. Bonaparte thus succeeds, not only in embroiling Austria and Russia, but in rendering the former power his instrument in executing his designs upon Turkey; designs, which we are convinced, are of much greater magnitude than has been hitherto supposed, but which, we trust, will be frustrated by the exertions of Britain,
who, there is no doubt, will oppose any attempt to destroy or diminish her influence in Turkey, or to dismember any of its provinces, with the whole force and power of her empire.
All the allied forces in Hanover, were to have quitted that territory before the end of the present month. The Swedes were falling back upon Pomerania, and a number of transports had been collected for the conveyance to this country of the British troops.
A total change took place in the Austrian ministry the day before the treaty was signed.
ULM, December 4. A contribution of 40,000 franks has been laid on the Austrian possessions in Swabia, to be paid in three instalments into the chest of the paymaster general of the French army. A second contribution, payable every month is fixed at 80,000 franks per month, to begin from the 6th December.
FRANKFORT, Dec. 8. The elector of Wirtemberg has communicated to the states of his territories the articles of the treaty of alliance concluded on the 4th October, between H. M. the emperor of the French, and H. S. E. H. This treaty is to the following tenor: "H. M. the emperor of the French, king of Italy, guarantees to H. H. the elector of Wirtemberg, the independence and integrity of all his states, with the rights and prerogatives which the electoral house is now in possession of, and such as they were determined by the treaty of peace of Lunéville, and by the general recesses of the deputation of the empire, H. E. H. engages on his side, to furnish to the French army a body of from 8 to 10,000 men, consisting of 1000 mounted cavalry, and from 7 to 8000 infantry. Four secret articles are annexed to this treaty. The communication of these articles has not yet been made known to the provincial states.
MUNICH, December 2. A few days since a Gazette in the north of Germany, published three days following this article: "Prussia has a population of 8,000,000 souls, 160,000 of whom can take the field." Another German paper then printed for three days following, this article: "Austria has a population of 24,000,000 souls; she has an army of 410,000 men, of whom 280,000 had taken the field; and this formidable power has fallen, in seven weeks, under the blows of the emperor Napoleon."
PARIS, December 17. It was on the 26th November that the emperor of Russia arrived at Olmutz, where he was received with the firing of cannon and the acclamations of the Austrians, who regarded him as a liberator.—It was on the 2d December that the great battle of Austerlitz took place; and on the 4th of the same month the emperor of Russia obtained leave to quit Olmutz to return to his states. Thus, in 8 days, his arrival, his departure, and the fate of Europe have been decided.
PHILADELPHIA, March 17. A letter dated Bordeaux, the 30th of December, received at Washington from a respectable source, states the differences between France and Russia had been settled, and that the latter had given permission to the former, to march her troops thro' the Prussian dominions, with the view, it is presumed, of attacking the English.

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

FOR SALE,
2218 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 falls 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 cast 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.
