LEXINGTON, APRIL 23. In this day's Gazette will be found the proceedings of the House of Representatives during their secret sitting. The two first resolutions introduced into the House of Representatives by Mr. J. Randolph, one declaring that no Contractor ought to hold a seat in Congress; the other that the union of a plurality of officers in an individual, but more especially the military with the civil authority is inconsistent with the spirit of the Constitution, were rejected on the ground of their being unconstitutional. The third resolution, that provision ought to be made, by law, to render any officer in the army or navy of the U. S. incapable of holding any civil office, passed—yeas 94—nays 21.
Mr. Curran, the celebrated Irish orator, is appointed attorney general of Ireland. SPANISH EMBARGO. —The U. S. Gazette states, that on the 6th of March an embargo was laid upon all American vessels in the port of Laguita. By the ship U. States arrived at Baltimore, dispatches have been brought on to government, from Mr. Monroe. Their contents are said to be of the most satisfactory nature—we presume they are the first dispatches from our minister, since his interview with Mr. Fox. The information of the spirited measures, proposed to Congress at the opening of the present session, had produced a great sensation among the merchants of England. Aurora.

ON the seventeenth day of May next, at ten o'clock in the morning, I shall attend with the commissioners appointed by the county court of Fayette, at my house, and from thence proceed to the beginning corner of the tract of land whereon I now live, which was originally entered in the name of William M'Connell; in order to take the deposition of witnesses, and perpetuate their testimony, to establish the special calls of my said survey, and do such other things as may be necessary, agreeably to law.

WASHINGTON CITY.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2. On Monday the House of Representatives were exclusively engaged until 5 o'clock, with closed doors, in discussing the propriety of taking off the injunction of secrecy, relative to the measures taken on Spanish affairs, which issued in taking off the injunction of secrecy. The following, is the journal of their proceedings. Long as it is, it is but a skeleton. Such, however, as it is, it will be read with a deep interest. We have not time to accompany these proceedings with a commentary on the proceedings. We shall merely say, that there appears to have been on this subject, an honest diversity of opinion, which resulted in the adoption of measures of a pacific complexion, by a large majority. On the final passage of the bill the whole votes were 130; of which, 76 republican votes were in favour of the bill, and 27 republican, and 27 federal, (including every federal member that voted,) against it. (Editor of the Nat. Intel.)
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, the 6th of Dec. 1805. The Speaker laid before the House a letter and communication from the President of the United States, which were read. Ordered, That the said letter and communication together with the documents accompanying the same, be referred to Mr. John Randolph, Mr. Nicholson, Mr. John Cotton Smith, Mr. Mumford, Mr. Williams, of S. Carolina, Mr. Bidwell, and Mr. Brown.
FRIDAY, the 3d of JAN. 1806. Mr. John Randolph, from the committee, to whom were referred the message and communication of the President of the United States, of the 6th of December last, together with the documents accompanying the same, made a report thereon, as followeth:
REPORT Of the committee, to whom was referred the message of the President of the United States, of the 6th of December, 1805. The committee have beheld with just indignation, the hostile spirit manifested by the court of Madrid, towards the government of the United States, in withholding the ratification of its convention with us, although signed by its own minister, under the eye of his sovereign, unless with alterations of its terms, affecting claims of the United States, which, by the express conditions of the instrument itself, were reserved for future discussion; in piratical depredations upon our fair commerce; in obstructing the navigation of the Mobile; in refusing to come to any fair and amicable adjustment of the boundaries of Louisiana; and in a daring violation, by persons acting under the authority of Spain, and no doubt, apprised of her sentiments and views, of our undisputed limits, which she had solemnly recognized by treaty. To a government having interests distinct from those of its people, and disregarding their welfare, here is ample cause for a formal declaration of war, on the part of the United States, and such, did they obey the impulse of their feelings alone, is the course which the committee would not hesitate to recommend; but to a government identified with its citizens, too far removed from the powerful nations of the earth, for its safety to be endangered by their hostility, peace must always be desirable, so long as it is compatible with the honor and interests of the community. Whilst the United States continue burthened with a debt, which annually absorbs two thirds of their revenue, and duties upon imports constitute the only resource from which that revenue can be raised, without resorting to systems of taxation, not more ruinous and oppressive, than they are uncertain and precarious, the best interests of the Union cry aloud for peace. When that debt shall have been discharged, and the resources of the nation thereby liberated, then may we rationally expect to raise, even in time of war, the supplies which our frugal institutions require, without recurring to the hateful and destructive expedient of loans; then, and not till then, may we bid defiance to the world. The present moment is peculiarly auspicious for this great and desirable work. Now, if ever, the national debt is to be paid, by such financial arrangements as will accelerate its extinction, by reaping the rich harvest of neutrality, and thus providing for that diminution
of revenue, which experience teaches us to expect on the general pacification of Europe. And the committee indulge a hope, that in the changed aspect of affairs in that quarter, Spain will find, Spain will find motives for a just fulfillment of her stipulations with us, and an amicable settlement of limits, upon terms not more beneficial to the United States, than advantageous to herself—securing to her an ample barrier on the side of Mexico, and to us, the countries watered by the Mississippi, and to the Eastward of it. But whilst the committee perceive, in the general uproar of Europe, a state of things peculiarly favourable to the peaceful pursuit of our best interests, they are neither inflexible to the indignity which has been offered on the part of Spain, nor unwilling to repeal similar outrage. On the subject of self defence, when the territory of the United States is insulted, there can be but one opinion;—whatever difference may exist on the question, whether that protection which a vessel finds in our harbours, shall be extended to her, by the nation, in the Indian and Chinese seas. Under this impression, the committee submit the following resolution:—The annexed letter from the Secretary of war, will explain why it is not more explicit. Resolved, That such number of troops, not exceeding as the President of the United States shall deem sufficient, to protect the Southern frontiers of the United States from Spanish invasion and insult, and to chastise the same, be immediately raised.

The subscriber offers to the public, a New Invention for Pressing : Calculated to supersede the use of the screw almost, if not altogether. For a cheese press it stands unrivaled, as might be certified by a host of witnesses if necessary; for an oil press, I submit the following certificate from a gentleman of unquestionable veracity.
Certificate. I, Wm. Crawford, of South-east Dutchess county, state of N. York, do certify, that I have used Butts's patent Wheel Press, for pressing oil, and find it preferable to any that I have ever used, as it produces more oil with less expense, and I do recommend it to the public as a very useful invention—Witness my hand, Wm. Crawford.
The machine which I offer to the public (though it comes with a b d grace from me) really merits attention; as in cheese making it reduces the labor from a degree to which female strength is ill adapted, to almost nothing; and in places which are yet in their infancy, this machine will be peculiarly useful, as those kind of presses, viz. the cider, clothier's and oil, are yet to be erected, and may be done at much less expense than the ordinary mode.
Licenses for constructing and using the above invention, will be afforded at a reasonable rate, by the subscriber.

THAT has acquired so much celebrity in the Eastern States; has just arrived at this place from Philadelphia, to which place he was imported in the year seventeen hundred and ninety-eight, and where he has distinguished himself as a sure and good foal getter, will stand the ensuing season commencing at this time, and ending the first day of August next, at the same stable in this place that Rorist has occupied for the two last seasons, under the particular care and direction of Mr. George Sourbray jun. and will be let to mares at the moderate price of thirty dollars the season, payable the first day of January next, which may be discharged by the payment of twenty on the first day of September next—Forty dollars to insure a mare with foal, the money to be returned provided the mare remains the property of the person who owned her when put to the horse, if she does not prove to have been with foal, and any gentleman putting by the season and complying with the terms, whose mare does not prove to have been with foal, shall have the liberty of putting to the horse gratis next season, if she remains the property of the person who put her—Twelve dollars for the groom in every instance.

ARRA KOOKER, is a beautiful bay, with black legs, mane, and tail; full sixteen hands high, and for figure, strength, elegance, movement and bone, is surpassed by no horse on the continent—As to his colts must refer you to Maj. James Heard of Winchester, Virginia, who is at present in this place, and to Mr. Robert Barr, who lives near this place, and whose certificates are annexed to this advertisement.
I DO hereby certify, that I have bred a colt by ARRA KOOKER, and think it extremely large and elegant, with remarkable fine limbs—The appearance of it has induced me to enter it in a sweep stake of 500 dollars—Likewise have seen a considerable number, which are promising—He is supposed to be a sure foal getter. Given under my hand this 10th day of April, 1806.

I do certify that whilst I was in New-Town, in the Fall and Winter of 1803, I saw several of ARRA KOOKER's colts, they were rising 2 and three years old, they promised to be very fine, and during my stay in that part of the country, I visited Penny-Town, in New-Jersey, where ARRA KOOKER had stood, and general report spoke highly of him as a sure and good foal getter.

ARRA KOOKER was imported from England by Dr. Tate, 1798. Is a beautiful bay, with black legs, mane and tail; full sixteen hands high, a lofty elegant figure, with a great proportion of bone & strength and moves well; he is from the pure turf blood, he is from the best line of horses in England.
ARRA KOOKER was got by the celebrated running horse DROSE (who won 25 Kings plates, Jockey club plates, and matches, to the amount of 5000 guineas) his grand sire was HEROD, out of LILLY; his great grand sire was BLAK, the sire of Eclipse; his dam was Mrs. DODSWORTH's Chadsworth mare, by Chadsworth, a son of Blank's, (dam of Abba Thule) his grand dam by Engineer, his great grand dam by Wilson's Arabian, his great grand grand dam by Plutton's Spot, his great grand grand grand dam by Mogul, his great grand grand grand grand dam by Crab, Bay Bolton, Curwin's Barb, Spot White legg'd Lathier barb, &c. &c.
ARRA KOOKER when three years old won a sweep stake of 100 guineas, two miles, five horses started at New-Castle-on-Tyne and 50 guineas Northumberland; at four years old he walked over the course for 100 guineas at New-Castle on Tyne—no four year old would enter against him the four mile heats, (you may in the racing calendar see) in consequence of an injury in his leg, received in running, he was taken out of training; but of which he is now perfectly recovered and free from blemish. I certify that the bright bay horse ARRA KOOKER, this day sold by me to Dr. James Tate, of Philadelphia, North America; was bred by Matthew Dods-worth, Esq. of Caledon Hall Yorkshire; that he was got by the running horse DROSE out of Abba Thule's dam, for whose pedigree reference may be had to the Small Book, &c. &c. Given under my hand and seal, at the city of York, this 23th day of August, 1797.

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. 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 paid, a half will be paid, 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.

IMPORTANT.
TO all those who wish either to become citizens or to hold lands in that delightful country south of Green river. The subscriber being inclined to remove to Tennessee, offers for sale, the plantation on which he now resides, together with six thousand acres of land, situated on both sides of Red river, and Big Whippoorwill, including several fine mill seats, and as valuable a body of timber as any on Red river; surrounded by barrens, some of which are equal in quality to any in Logan county; about 90 acres of cleared land, under good fence; a small apple orchard of the best fruit, a peach and cherry orchard, all in full perfection. On the premises is a large and elegant two story Brick House, entirely new, together with other necessary buildings. In point of health and beauty, this situation perhaps is exceeded by none in the state of Kentucky. The plantation lies on one of the north, the other on the south side of the river, a little below where the two forks unite, and just opposite the confluence of Big Whippoorwill. Those streams afford water sufficient (the river in particular,) all the year to support a merchant and saw mill. A considerable quantity of the timbered land is fine rich bottom.
The subscriber has also for sale sundry other tracts of land in Logan county, and likewise in Christian county, 1 tract in Livingston county, and one on Cumberland river, Stewart county, (state of Tennessee); he has in one complete tract in Christian 15,000 acres, equal perhaps in value, to any tract in that county.
It is situated on the main source of Little river, including several miles on both sides of the river, and including some fine mill seats, (this river is a never failing fountain) it is situated in part about four miles below the court house, and extends from commerce southwardly down the main river to the Sinking fork of said river, the distance of five miles (or more perhaps.) The subscriber has also another tract of land, lying on the south side of Little river, about eight or
