BALLOON ASCENSION.
Extract of a letter from Venice, dated October 14.
I send you an account of a very singular and extraordinary aerial voyage. Count Francis Zambeccari, of Bologna, Dr. Graftetti, of Rome, and M. Pasqual, of Ancona, had prepared a very large Air Balloon, which, on Friday, the 7th of October, they filled in the city of Bologna. The filling proceeded very slowly, it was not filled till about midnight, and the above mentioned gentlemen proposed to defer their ascent till the next day; but the impatience and clamour of the people of Bologna obliged them to ascend about three quarters after midnight. They, however, resolved to come down again as soon as possible. The balloon being set at liberty, rose with prodigious velocity, and soon attained such a height, that Count Zambeccari, and Dr. Graftetti, benumbed with cold, which at first produced an inclination to vomit, sunk into a kind of insensibility and deep sleep.
M. Andreoli, who was alone awake and in possession of his senses, could not ascertain the height to which they had ascended by the barometer, because the wax light they had carried with them in a lantern was gone out. About half after two in the morning, the balloon began to descend, and M. Andreoli distinctly heard the dashing of the waves of the Adriatic sea, on the coast of Romagna. He then awakened his companions, and endeavored to procure a light by means of phosphoric matches, but did not succeed; he at length obtained one by using tinder in the common manner. Soon after the balloon with the car that was fastened to it, fell into the Adriatic sea, and with so much force, that the water dashed over them above the height of a man. The aeronauts, drenched with sea water, benumbed with cold, and in fear of immediate destruction, threw out a bag of sand, all their instruments and every thing they had with them; after which the balloon rose a second time with extreme rapidity. They passed thro' three ranges of clouds, one above the other, their clothes were covered with a hoar frost, and on account of the rarity of the air in which they were when they had ascended above the clouds, they could scarcely hear each other speak. The moon shone on the clouds below, and appeared of blood red colour. Some time after three, the balloon again descended, though very slowly, and a brisk south-west wind drove it over the Adriatic sea towards the coast of Itria. The car frequently touched the water, and for five hours the adventurers were in momentary danger of death. At length, on Saturday morning, about 8 o'clock they were taken up, and rescued from the perilous situation in which they were, by the Manzara (a kind of large bark) of Anthony Bazol, about ten Italian miles from the harbor of Veruda, in Itria. The balloon being given to the wind, flew over the mountain Oftero, and probably went into Dalmatia. The aeronauts came in the same ship, with their hands and feet entirely benumbed with cold, to Pola, a port in Itria, where they remained four days to recover from their fatigues. To-day, about 8 in the morning, they arrived in Venice, and gave the above account of their adventures. Their aerial voyage from the coast of Romagna to Itria, is a distance of 20 German miles (about 120 English.) Had it not been for the brave seaman, Antony Bazol, who very ably steered his ship to save them, they would no doubt have been buried in the waves. They were here received with the utmost
hospitality, and do not appear to have a desire to make another aerial excursion at midnight.
LONDON, March 7.
An embargo has been laid at the custom-house upon all vessels bound to any other ports than the undermentioned, viz. Spain, and Portugal Mediterranean, America, Africa, East and West Indies.
March 8.
The embargo which we mentioned yesterday as having been laid on the port of London extends to all the out-ports, except to convoys bound down the channel. Various causes have been assigned for this measure, but the real one remains a secret with government. The embargo is not expected to last above ten days.
It is no longer to be doubted that the French fleet have quitted Toulon. It would, indeed, be most desirable to the first consul to collect the whole of his ships from L'Orient, Rochelle, Ferrol and Toulon, in the harbor of Brest. They would then form a respectable fleet not fewer than from 37 to 40 sail of the line besides frigates. It is said that the Toulon fleet sailed from thence on the 28th January. Its force is variously stated: but it is generally supposed to comprise ten sail of the line. Lord Nelson is stated to have been off Majorca, on the 20th January, and on the 23rd he was off the Cape of Roses, the north-east point of Spain, and the direct line in which the French fleet will steer, should it be destined for the Atlantic.
Gen. Moreau has been taken up and the police are in pursuit of Pichegru and Georges.
Schiedam, February 24.
An embargo has just been laid here, on the part of the French government, on all outward bound ships, in order to prevent General Pichegru from escaping.
March 9.
The public curiosity has been excited not a little since the news of the recent plot against the consular government, to know the result, and to learn whether the intelligence was correct that state Generals Moreau and Pichegru to have been guillotined. Till further accounts be received from France, the present anxiety cannot be removed and it must be considerably heightened by accounts received this morning from Deal, which state that
ANOTHER REVOLUTION
Has taken place in France inimical to Bonaparte. The news is said to have been brought over by a royalist general. How far it may be correct, we cannot take upon us to determine; but the thing is far from being improbable. We shall indulge ourselves in conjectures, but content ourselves with submitting the information that has reached us:
Deal, March 8.
"We have just received intelligence of a very important nature which added to the late news from France carries with it some degree of probability, especially as a great battle prevails here at present among the shipping in the Downs: A general and his suite attached to the monarchical party in France, who was some days ago received on board one of our cruisers from the heights above Dieppe, brings an account that a counter revolution has taken place in that country, prejudicial to the interests of the Corsican usurper.
"The whole naval department here are in the highest spirits; in consequence of the sudden change of affairs all the ships, cutters and brigs ready for sea in the Downs have received orders to get under way immediately. Most of them have already sailed. Wind S. E. and by S.
"The firing heard the other day was a salute at Boulogne; but on what occasion we have not yet learnt."
Last night dispatches were sent off express by a messenger from the admiral to Plymouth for admiral Cornwallis, to be forwarded to him from that place by a fast sailing vessel. An express was likewise sent off to Ireland.
All ships of every description have been ordered to be got ready for service as fast as possible. Every thing seems to shew that some secret expedition is in contemplation.
Last night we received Dutch papers to the 28th ult. The most important piece of information they contain is an open acknowledgement in The Merchant, that the Dutch have officers who had been applied to, to take commands in the flotilla at Flushing, destined for the invasion of
this country, have refused to accept of their appointments. This shews in what a hopeless light they view the whole undertaking.
The Moniteurs are filled chiefly with addresses to the first consul to congratulate him on his escape. No further mention is made of the conspirators in the official papers.
Accounts from Vienna of the 4th Feb. state that the greatest bustle prevails among the ministers of the court; that the troops were in motion, and that every thing indicated an approaching change of affairs.
THE SECRET EXPEDITION.
We announced on Tuesday the preparations which were making for an expedition against Boulogne, and some other ports of the enemy. Those preparations have been followed by an embargo in our ports, and the execution of a vigorous and decisive measure is at hand.
The plan of the intended expedition originated in Mr. Richard Phillips, of St. Paul's Church-yard. That gentleman has for a considerable time, proposed to government to close up, and permanently blockade the ports of the enemy by sinking at their entrances old ships of various burthens filled with chalk and stones. By varying the number and size of those vessels, and other contrivances adapted to the circumstances of the enemy's ports, he considers it in the power of his country to render every harbor of France, Holland and Flanders unnavigable and totally useless.
After mature investigation, the idea has been adopted by government, and a number of old ships filled with Maidstone rag-stone, are immediately to be sunk at the entrance of the harbor of Boulogne, so as to render it impossible for the enemy's vessels to come out, which have rendezvoused in that port; consequently nothing further will be to be apprehended from an invasion in that quarter!
The shallow and intricate navigation of the ports of Holland will afterwards be more easily choked up and ruined, exactly in the same manner, and by churning numbers of heavy ships together, Mr. Phillips deems it equally practicable to choke up the harbor of Brest, and all the large ports of France, so that no ship of war, can come out or go into them.
During the war, these submarine blockades will be rendered permanent, by sloops or small ships being stationed off each port, to destroy the machinery with which the enemy may endeavor to raise the sunken ships.
In short, the plan is as efficacious as it is simple; and the power which we exclusively possess to avail ourselves of the peculiar circumstance of our being the masters of the ocean; a dominion which this plan alone will enable us to perpetuate during any number of ages. We have, singly, to maintain our naval superiority, and the ports of every country, which may dare to insult us, are at our mercy. The malice and the rivalry of France will henceforward be harmless; we shall have nothing to dread from invasion, and the genius of Britain may enable her to bid defiance to a world in arms opposed to her.

LEXINGTON, MAY 8.
MARRIED —On the first instant, Robert Wickliffe Esq. of Bairdstown, to Miss Margretta Howard, of Fayette county.
Col. JAMES BARBOUR and Col. HENRY PAWLING, of Garrard county, and FORTUNATUS COSBY, Esq. of Jefferson, will be candidates, in the South District, and JOHN COBURN, Esq. of Mason county, and the Rev. JOHN PRICE, of Jessamine, in the North District, for Electors to choose a President and Vice-President, of the United States.
To the Electors of the North District of Kentucky.
Gen. CHARLES SCOTT will serve as an Elector for President and Vice-President, for the aforesaid district, provided he is called into that service by your suffrage, at the next election.
Gen. Scott is so well known, that no illustration of his abilities will be expected; but let it suffice that he is an old patriot, worn out in the use and service of his country, and a tried republican.
A VOTER.
P. S. The different Kentucky printers will give the above a place in their papers.
I WISH to give notice to my fellow-citizens, on the North side of Kentucky River, that I offer my services as an elector for the election of President and Vice-President—and as I never before proposed myself a candidate for any office higher than a soldier, and conceive I am capable of discharging that office, to the satisfaction of my countrymen—professing to be a true republican and friend to my country, hope it will not be thought presumption in me.

The republican papers in New-Hampshire declare Mr. Langdon to be elected Governor; whilst the federal papers declare Mr. Gilman elected. It is, therefore, possible the actual result of the election may not be known until June, when the official declaration of the votes will be made.

In the French Legislative Body, on the 27th February, the counsellor of state, Regnaud, ascended the tribune, and read a report made by the Grand Judge, to the First Consul, charging Moreau, Pichegru, Georges, &c. with a combination to carry into effect new plots, formed by England in time of peace, against the French government. We are obliged to delay the publication of the report until next week.
After the report of the Grand Judge to the French Legislative Body on the pretended conspiracy, the President expressed his regret that so brave and distinguished an officer as Gen. Moreau, should be implicated in a plot. The laws, he said, would decide his guilt or innocence.
In the opening of the session of the Tribunal, Moreau (brother of the General) interrupted the proceedings by a request to be heard—He then said,
"You have heard the report made against Gen. Moreau. I cannot see without sentiments of the liveliest melancholy, attempts made for a long time to calumniate a man who has rendered important services to the Republic, and who has not the liberty of defending himself. I declare to the whole nation, that my brother is innocent of the atrocities imputed to him. I demand his trial. It will be easy for him to show his innocence. I affirm that all which has been said of him is an infamous calumny."
Curce said, "our colleague's is a just emotion."—on which Moreau rejoined, "It is no fine emotion—it is the expression of truth and indignation," and instantly left the hall.
The Senate, Legislative Body, & Tribunal offered their congratulations to the first consul—who in reply said,
"Since the day when I arrived at the Chief Magistracy, a great number of conspiracies have been formed against my life. Nursed in arms I have never given any importance to danger; they have inspired me with no fear."
The French ambassador at Copenhagen, lately made renewed demands of that cabinet, respecting the shutting of the Sound against British vessels, accompanied by a threat that if the Danish governor declined doing so, France would assume to herself the execution of the measure. A courier was immediately dispatched to Petersburg, and the ambassador was informed, that his Danish majesty could not accede to the wills of his court.
Letters from Falmouth repeat the report of the French squadron having got out of Toulon, and it is added, that they had got into Carthagena. It is now said to consist of 14 sail of the line. We must still doubt the fact of its having made its escape till such intelligence reaches us through a more authentic channel.
Bonaparte is stated to have issued orders for accelerating all the preparations for the invasion of England. General Dumas and rear-admiral Mongeon were on a visit of inspection to the different ports and dock-yards of Belgium, with a view also to forward the equipments. The greater part of the gun-boats and transports at Flushing had put to sea with troops on board, but in consequence of a fog had returned into port.
The Dey of Algiers has forced the British consul to leave his territories; and though applied to by letter from admiral Nelson, and threatened with a hostile visit from the British cruisers, persists in his refusal to receive the consul again.
Two persons, named Pilot & Lebourgeois, have been shot in France. They were charged with a design to assassinate the first consul.

The full blooded English Race Horse,
TUP
WILL stand this season, at the farm of James Garrard, jun. three miles from Paris, on Stoner, in Bourbon county; where he will cover mares at Twenty-two Dollars the season, to be paid the 1st day of September next, or Eighteen Dollars with the mare—Twelve Dollars the single leap, to be paid at the time of covering—Ten pounds to insure a mare with foal, and in case the owner sells or disposes of the mare, the
owners of the horse, are discharged from all responsibility as insurers.—The season will commence the 27th day of March, and end the 1st day of August. Good pasturage, well enclosed, will be furnished gratis, to all mares sent above the distance of twelve miles—board will be furnished servants that may be sent with mares from a distance, and every kind of grain upon the most reasonable terms; all mares sent, shall be strictly attended to, but we are not liable for accidents or escapes.
TUP is a beautiful dark bay, full fifteen hands three inches high, remarkable for his strength, form and activity—he was brought from London, by Will. Smalley, in the fall of 1801, in the American ship Gen. Lincoln. He has covered two seasons in Virginia. Certificates from men of the first rank and respectability there, now in our possession, prove him to be superior, as a foal-getter, to any horse in Virginia, either imported or country bred.—Numbers of mares put to the TUP, in Virginia, were put before, to the best horses in that state, and the foals by TUP, were superior in form and activity. Some few of the certificates are hereunto subjoined.
PEDIGREE.
The bay horse, called TUP, foaled in 1796, was gotten by Javelin out of Flavia. Javelin was got by Eclipse; his dam by Spectator; his grand dam by Blank; great grand dam by Second; great, great grand dam by Stanyan's Arabian; great, great, great grand dam by King William's black Barb, out of Christopher Darcy's royal mare. Flavia was gotten by the Ferrer's Arabian called Plunder; her dam, miss Euphon, by Snap; grand dam by Blank; great grand dam by Cartouch out of the Sore Heels mare; great, great grand dam of Highflyer—TUP, in 1798, won a sweepstakes of an hundred guineas each at New-Market, (five subscribers) beating Mr. Heathcote's Vivalda, &c. A true copy from the stud book and racing calendar.

It is unnecessary to comment on the performances of old Eclipse. It is well known that at an early age he could distance any horse in England; and that it was found necessary, to publicly forbid his running any more, as no horse dare meet him. He afterwards covered at fifty guineas a mare. Javelin was one of his best foals. He covered at ten guineas a mare, and one to the groom. He is sire to some of the best horses on the British turf.
TUP, in his young days, was allowed by the best judges in England to be preferable to an Arabian, having all their sprightliness and elegance of limbs with the great strength of old Eclipse. Flavia at three years old won a sweepstakes of a hundred guineas each, four subscribers at New-Market, fee racing calendar for 1777, succeeding calendars prove her of high repute as a racer: she was many years kept as a fine brood mare and was always put to the best horses.
Every mare that is put by the season at first may have a spring season gratis, provided they do not prove with foal, and the season paid punctually agreeably to the terms of the advertisement. Those who put their mares at first by the leap are excluded from the chance of a colt next season gratis. Mares that do not prove with foal that have the next season gratis, must be sent before the tenth of April.

THE CONTEST.
WRITTEN BY A CAROLINIAN.
'TWAS in a lone, sequester'd wood, Close by the Mississippi's side, Where genial zephyrs fann'd the flood, Or skim'd the surface of the tide:
A Mock-bird, 'midst the feather'd throng Tun'd his glad notes to mirth & love; The banks re-echo'd to the song, And fill'd with melody the grove.
When from a myrtle's branches gay, Which beauty, join'd with fragrance blest; Sweet Philomela rais'd her lay,
And thus the list'ning glade address'd:
"Now tranquil is the winding shore, And still the daisied meadows seem, Save where the dashing of the oar, Sounds on the Mississippi's stream.
"Or where the Mock-Bird, perched on high, With rapture fills the shady dale;
"With me let him the contest try, To charm the much lovd peaceful vale?"
The Mock-Bird with a conscious pride, The soft and daring challenge took; Then thus began where breezes sigh'd, Amongst the willows of the brook.
MOCK-BIRD.
"See, see the rose expands its bloom, To scent th' ambient air around; But soon shall meet an hapless doom, And drooping, press the dewy ground.
"Thus all must fade and leave this grove, Where milder suns display their beams;
"Where temperate pleasures love to rove, And visit oft the murm'ring streams."
NIGHTINGALE.
"Behold the sun reclines her head, To sink beneath you western hill; The evening sky is streak'd with red, And smoothly glides the limpid rill.
"The lily's snowy beauties spread, To court awhile the vivid breeze; Whilst blossoms mimick odours shed, Far scenting from a thousand trees."
MOCK-BIRD.
"But look around where fable night, With raven wing leads on the hours!
"Homeward each warbler bends his flight, To seek repose in leafy bowers.
"And from the moss-clad forest, bark! Faint echo's distant notes rebound; Roam thro' the regions of the dark, And soft respond a feebler sound."
NIGHTINGALE.
"Now darts the moon her silver ray, See how it gilds yon ivied grove; The gentle streamlets ling'ring stay, As loth to quit this lone some spot.
"But look around where fable night, With raven wing leads on the hours!
"Homeward each warbler bends his flight, To seek repose in leafy bowers.
"And from the moss-clad forest, bark! Faint echo's distant notes rebound;
"Roam thro' the regions of the dark, And soft respond a feebler sound."
"Safely now couch'd each warbler sits, No agile pinions skim the sky; Save where the hateful screech-owl flits, And yields a timeless feeble cry:"
Thus Philomela pour'd her note, Melodious on the night's dull ear; Till emulation quell'd her throat, Scarce can the muse withhold a tear—
Too weak so long to urge the strain, Eternal darkness fludes her eyes; O'er spent, she falls upon the plain, Then faintly straggling, breathless dies.
There oft the Mock-Bird tells the tale, And plaintively bewails her doom; When softer breezes the genial gale, To cheer him in the mournful gloom.
E'er since, he tunes his nightly song; Where groves and sylvan scenes excel; Where winds the silver streams along; Mourning the notes he lovd so well.

FROM THE LONDON EVENING POST.
Answer of the French Government to his Majesty's Speech.
[The lateness of the hour at which the last Paris papers arrived, prevented us from giving at length the remarks and comments made by the government of France on the speech delivered by his majesty to both houses of parliament on the opening of the present session. They constitute documents of the very first importance, and may be justly considered as expressive of the sentiments of Bonaparte himself on the actual state of both countries. We give them in the order in which they appear in the official paper, in a series of notes, referring to particular passages of the king's speech.]
NOTE THE FIRST.
This note refers to the mention made of the islands of St. Lucia, Tobago, St. Pierre and Miquelon.
"The islands of St. Lucia, Tobago, St. Pierre, and Miquelon, belonging to the belligerent power which is mistress of the sea. The emphatic eulogies of his Britannic majesty, on the great zeal and promptitude of his officers, and the forces which acted under their command, are truly ludicrous. There were at St. Lucia 150 men, at Tobago 80, and St. Pierre and Miquelon a corporal and 9 men."
NOTE THE SECOND.
This note alludes to the king's notice of the state of Ireland respecting the late traitorous and atrocious conspiracy, and his majesty's hope that his deluded subjects, in that part of the United Kingdom are now convinced of their error.
"We cannot conceive why his Britannic majesty should not mention the affairs of Hanover, and pass over in silence the importance which his ministers had formally promised in the hour of common to assign to the mediation of Russia; but why should he fail to shew the same prudent reserve relative to Ireland, that unfortunate object of the interest and the solicitude of all Europe? Was it necessary to insult that unhappy Hibernia, which has for so many ages witnessed in the midst of it, the incessant renewal of the massacre of St. Bartholomew? Here ambitious men covered with the Roman purple, butcher the protestants; there ambitious men covered with the English purple, butcher the Roman Catholics! The code by which Ireland is at present governed, is more cruel, more atrocious, than that of Marat. Every Irishman might ask his Britannic majesty, where are the deluded? They are rather to be found in a government which supports its despotic authority by means of scaffolds, than among a people who claim the liberty of conscience, the privilege of possessing property, and the rights which are attached to the dignity of human nature."
NOTE THE THIRD.
This note is intended as an answer to that part of the king's speech, in which he trusts that his deluded subjects in Ireland, having compared the advantages they derive from the protection of a free constitution with the condition of those countries which are under the dominion of the French government, they will cordially and zealously concur in resisting any attempt that may be made against the security and independence of the United Kingdom.
This is really surprising. Let his Britannic majesty discover, if he can, in the four last years, in the course of which the revolution has been terminated, a single fact to support his arguments! Let him mention through the immense extent of our territory, one country where the liberty of conscience has been restrained, where scaffolds have been erected, where conspiracies have been fabricated, for the purpose of destroying men of talents, overwhelming in blood the degrading apprehensions, and the just remorse, by which a violent and tyrannical government is always tormented! Your tyranny over Ireland resembles that of Carthage over the neighboring states. It is severe and implacable."
NOTE THE FOURTH.
Here on the heavy pressure which his majesty laments, must be unavoidably experienced by his people under the present circumstances, the French government says,
"The war has already cost the English nation 500 millions of livres. On the supposition that it may last five or six years longer, England will have paid three or four millions of additional expense for the rock of Malta, which has cost the knights of St. John 200 millions during the two last centuries."
NOTE THE FIFTH.
This note refers to the magnanimous declaration of his majesty, if the occasion should arise, to share the exertions and the dangers of his people in the defence of their constitution, their religion, their laws, and their independence.
"Is it the king of England, the head of a nation which rules the seas and sways all India, that holds this language? what! six months have scarcely expired since your prince, blinded by the shadows of a base ambition, alarmed at the views of the ports of France and Holland, filled with fleets and armies, meditating the invasion of England, comes into the midst of you, and, in his terror, discovers to Europe and France the fluctuations of his councils; and already hear him talk of marching at the head of his people to defend their religion their laws, and their independence. What has reduced you to this extremity? could you have held a different language if you had been defeated at Trebbio, at Thrasymene, or at Canz? as yet the contest has scarcely begun; you have experienced no reverses; on the contrary, you have hitherto succeeded in every thing; and, notwithstanding, your cities are alarmed, and your councils requires to be animated by the declarations of a monarch, who professes his determination to die at the head of his people! are the persons who suggest this inconsiderate language to him, unacquainted, that Harold the perjurer also placed himself at the head of his people."
Does it never occur to them that the illusions of high birth, the attributes of sovereign power and the purple robe, are in the moment of danger, but weak defences against the casualties of battle? On that tremendous day all men are equal. It is experience, it is the superiority of tactics, and the coolness of the general, that establishes the difference between the victors and the vanquished. A monarch at 63 years old, who puts himself, for the first time, at head of his troops, would, on the day of battle, embarrass his own people, and increase the chances of success on the part of the enemy. The king of England talks of the honour of his crown, the maintenance of the constitution, their religion, their laws, and their independence."--Was not the enjoyment of all those inestimable advantages secured by the treaty of Amiens? One would suppose, on reading his speech, that it was not the English ambassador who had the impudence to fix a period of only thirty-six hours to decide the question of war; and that on the contrary it was the French ambassador who demanded, at London, that, in thirty-six hours, the religion of England should be changed, the constitution abolished, and the kingdom dishonored. Could not your religion, your constitution and your honour be preserved without lord Whitworth's ultimatum ? What connection has the rock of Malta and the Island of Lampedosa with your religion, your laws and your independence? It is not for human foresight to penetrate the designs of Providence and to discover the measures it may sanction in its profound wisdom for the punishment of perjury and the chastisement of those who create division, excite war, and under the vain pretext of secret suggestions of paltry ambition, sport with human life; but we can venture to prophecy the event of this important contest--that you shall not retain Malta, that you should not obtain Lampedosa; and that you will sign a treaty less advantageous to you than that of Amiens."
NOTE THE SIXTH.
This note is caused by the expression of his majesty's firm conviction that, should the enemy, contrary to all just expectation, attempt to execute their presumptuous threat of invading our coasts; the consequence will be to them discomfiture, confusion, and disgrace!
"Discomfiture, confusion and disgrace!--If the king of England is so confident of success, why does he not order his fleets and cruisers to allow us a free passage for a few days?--We should see whether the result to the French would be discomfiture, confusion and disgrace! all those rhodomontades are at once unworthy of a great people, and of any man in his sober senses. Had the king of England obtained as many victories as Alexander, Hannibal, or Cæsar, such language would not be the less absurd. The destinies of war, and the fate of battle, depend on a very trifling circumstance! so frequently does fortune prove blind and inconstant! But surely none but a person wholly deprived of his reason could affirm that the French army, which hitherto have not passed for cowards, should reap on the soil of Great Britain nothing but discomfiture, confusion and disgrace!"
"As to the presumptuous threats of which the king of England accuses his enemies, it would certainly puzzle his ministers to quote them. When did the First Consul who has the sole direction of all the military dispositions, say that it was his intention to send an army to England? He has hitherto only said that there shall be an encampment at the Texel, Ostend, St. Omers, Brest and Bayonne; and the army had been encamped accordingly. Cannot, then, during war, troops be assembled in camps, without executing presumptuous threats?"
"You admit that the French army may penetrate into the heart of England--On this supposition you offer to your people the defence of your head and
hand, and you assure them in a prophetic tone, that the consequence will be to the French army discomfiture, confusion and disgrace--Granted. But what would you gain by it? The advantage which you say you will derive from it will be "the glory of surmounting the present difficulties,"--it was much easier not to occasion such difficulties; "of repelling immediate danger." It was much safer not to expose yourself to that danger; "of fixing the safety and independence of the kingdom on the basis of acknowledged strength"--but the treaty of Amiens had fixed the safety and independence of the kingdom of Great Britain; "the result of its own tried energy and resources," what! who ever doubted that your people who rule both hemispheres, are rich, brave and full of energy?
"These expressions, "it's owned tried energy and resources," should indeed be heard over all Europe. Thus it appears that you fight merely to shew that you can fight. You load your people with taxes to shew that you are rich. You inflict calamities on the existing generation, to prove that energy which no person was desirous of disputing with you. Europe will decide whether such sentiments are the result of greatness, of weakness of mind, of wisdom, or of folly."
"But were we to admit, from the inconsistency of fortune, and the vicissitudes of war, that the French army might reap in the heart of Great Britain discomfiture and disgrace; admit, in your turn, that an army of veterans, every soldier of which has braved death in so many battles, and conducted by men whom Europe holds in some degree of estimation, may by its bravery or its evolutions, carry into the midst of you, disgrace, confusion and discomfiture. What would be the advantage to France? Not that of surmounting present difficulties--the experiences none; not of repelling immediate danger--in the present contest there is no immediate danger for her; not that of fixing the safety and independence of the state on the basis of acknowledged strength, the result of its own tried energy and resources,--her safety, her independence, her force, her own resources, and her energy, are as evident as that the sun shines; they require no trial to prove their existence."
"The consequence would be, that she would wrest from you that trident acquired by 50 years of success, that valour of your ancestors, and preserved by the duplicity of your cabinet: to avenge that unfortunate country, Ireland, to restore it to the rank of nations, & to shed on that land moistened with blood and with tears, the light of happier and more tranquil days. It would be-----"
"This speech will be read with attention by all Europe, which will be struck by one extraordinary expression in it. What! the ministers of Great Britain are silly enough to cause their master to declare, on a solemn occasion, that on the fate of one battle depends the existence of that Colossus which crushes both worlds. If on the event of one battle the preservation of a single one of the newly-conquered departments of France depended, we are well convinced that she would have made peace, that she would have ceded Malta. Such conduct would have been consistent with the duties imposed on all those, whether chiefs or ministers, whose determinations influence the fate of nations."
ABDAL WECHAB.
Extract from the Journal of a gentleman lately returned from Mocha.
"There is a new sect of religious fanatics sprung up, called Wechabbee, taking their name from Abdal Wechab, their founder. The leading article of their creed is, that there is only one God, and that he alone shall be worshipped. They admit that Mahomet was a good man, but held that no belief is to be placed in him as a prophet, & any person making use of his name in prayer would be instantly put to death. They are propagating their religion by the same argument which Mahomet so successfully made use of--the sword. They have taken possession of the holy city of Mecca, and abolished all the places of worship except one, in which they are allowed to worship God, only--have destroyed all the coffee-houses, and burnt all the hookers (pipes) not allowing any person to smoke, or drink coffee. They appeared before Juda (one of the principal ports of the Red Sea) and would have taken it, but the Juda people purchased a short peace for 20,000 dollars, the Wechabbee declaring at the same time, that they would abstain no longer than till the pleasure of their leader could be known. An army attacked Hodeida (another principal port) on which the Dola of Hodeida set fire and burnt the suburbs 2000
straw houses which communicated to the brick ones, and burnt half the place, in order to dislodge the Wechabbee, which he thus effected: the assailants immediately retired to a short distance from the place, and sent to their leader for a reinforcement, and are only waiting for the vessel to depart (which they will soon do as the season is nearly expired) to take possession of it. Hodeida has a fort which annoys them considerably; but the Dola has written to Mocha that he can hold out but little longer. The Wechabbee have appeared in sight of Mocha in detached parties, and kept the inhabitants in continual alarm; and there is no doubt, that after they have got possession of Hodeida, they will proceed against it in earnest, where they will meet with little opposition. The inhabitants, in fearful anticipation of the event, are sending away their property as fast as they can. The Imam of Sennâ, some time past, sent one or two thousand men to oppose them; but nearly two thirds of this force went over to them, and the rest were either killed or returned. Mocha will undoubtedly fall into their hands, unless an English fleet should appear here (as last war) which would prevent their attacking it. They declare that they will not be quiet till they have drunk the waters of Aden, on the coast of the Indian ocean. The Sultan of Musket was at Mocha a short time since, on his return from a visit to the Wechabbee. It is said that he entered into a treaty with them, whereby they agreed not to attack his dominions for two or three years; after which, he was determined to try his strength with them, and, if he could not beat them, to adopt their religion."

It must be observed, that the great Oatland stakes is considered among the first races in England; at the end of 1800 he was taken with the distemper which put an end to his racing; and was then purchased of the Prince of Wales for me; and imported from London last fall. The above pedigree and performances of Speculator, are taken from the general stud-book and racing callenders of England; the authority of which has never yet been called in question, and they are always referred as authentic records upon their subjects.
JOHN HOOMES
Bowling Green, Virginia.
The above horse was at our request, sent by John Hoomes esq. to this state, & will stand the ensuing season at the plantation of John Breckinridge, on North-Elkhorn, where very extensive and excellent blue grass pasture, well enclosed and well watered, will be furnished to
mares coming at a distance, gratis.—The greatest care will be taken of the mares, and corn furnished if required, at the market price; but we will not be liable for escapes or accidents.
Mr. Hoomes has been in the practice for many years, of importing from England, the finest horses which that country produces; and from his character, and our acquaintance with him, the most implicit reliance can be placed in any certificate he gives.
Any person putting seven mares, and becoming responsible, gets one gratis; if the horse stands in the state, and continues the present owner's, those mares that do not prove in foal, has the next year gratis, except the groom's fee.

From the best information I have received, the above prices are not equal to the averaged value of Speculator's colts foaled in 1803.—The above list has been indiscriminately taken, and are all that have been personally applied to and listed. I shall continue to procure all I can and add them weekly. I wish to employ a careful white man that can keep the b o's & assist the groom in taking care of and feeding the mares. The above list is a true copy.

The Celebrated Imported, and Real bred Turf Horse: Royalist,
HAS arrived from New-York, and will stand this season at the same stable with Paymaster, in this place, and also under the direction and management of Mr. Peter Lott.—He will be let to mares at the moderate price of 30 dollars, to be discharged at any time before the 1st of September by the payment of 20 dollars; 40 dollars to insure a foal, to be returned if such should not be the case, if the mare remains the property of the person who put her to the horse, with 1 dollar to the groom for each mare, paid at the stable door. Attested notes for 30 dollars the season and 40 for insurance, to be sent with the mare, payable the 1st of January next.
ROYALIST is a full blooded racer; he was bred by his royal highness the Prince of Wales, and sold to Thomas Bullock esq. who kept him as a racer until he was purchased by Mr. Abraham Skinner, who imported him in the ship James, from England to New-York.—He is a beautiful bay, handsomely marked, with a star and snip, 15 hands 3 inches high, well proportioned, fine action, free from all blemishes, and while in England, performed equal to any horse of his age, as may be seen by the racing calenders, which are in the possession of Mr. Lott, free for the perusal of any gentleman. He has stood several seasons in America, and his colts are at least equal to any horse's, and are allowed, by competent judges to bid fair to make excellent racers.

PERFORMANCES.
IN 1793, at three years old, the first time he started, he won 400 guineas at New-Market, beating Lord Grosvenor's chestnut Filly, by Port 80's, out of Mariane, and the Duke of Bedford's colt by High-Flyer, out of Conegonde. He started for the Craven stakes, and beat Dare Devil, Agamemnon, Coriander, Seagull
Golden Rod, Fort William and six others. The next time he started, he won a subscription plate for fifty pounds each, beating Patriot, Cymbeline, Brimstone, Robin Gray, and seven others.—He also beat the Duke of Bedford's colt by High-Flyer, and the Duke of Norfolk's gray Filly by Dungannon, a sweepstakes of 200 guineas each, at four years old—he beat Lord Egremont's aged horse Scat-Gull, a match for 200 guineas, across the flat at New-Market, in 1795.—He beat Don Quixotte, Galico, the Duke of Bedford's Cub, and Mr. Durand's Filly, by Saltram, for the Craven stakes, and walked over the course at New-Market for 1200 guineas, and no horse dare start against him. He also beat several others of the most capital horses in England, too tedious to enumerate, but may be seen by the racing calender.
PEDIGREE.
This is to certify, that the bay horse Royalist, I have sold to Mr. Abraham Skinner—he was got by Saltram, son of Eclipse; his dam by Herod; his grand dam, by Mark; great grand dam by Blank; great great grand dam by Driver; great, great, great, grand dam by Smiling Tom; great, great, great, grand grand dam by Oylersfoot; great, great, great, great, grand dam by Commoner; great, great, great, great, great, grand dam the Duke of Summer let's Copper Mare.
This is a true pedigree. (Signed) Thomas Bullock. London, March 31, 1796.
I do certify, that I am informed, that Royalist has stood as a covering horse in New-Jersey in the neighbourhood of my brothers, who has written to me, that he was considered as the finest horse, and best foal getter in that country. I have seen several gentlemen of integrity, who spoke very high of him—I also certify, that in the neighbourhood that Royalist has stood, they are in the habit of breeding from the first English turf horses.
Benjamin Stout.
April 9th, 1804.
I do certify, that last season, I was in the neighbourhood that Royalist has stood for several seasons, and saw some of his coals which were finer, than any others which the same mares had brought from other imported horses, also that I was informed by my father-in-law, (who is in the habit of breeding from the finest horses,) that Royalist is the best foal getter he has ever tried, and made the greatest season of any horse in that country last season.
