But when a beardless stripling, with nothing to distinguish him from the common herd of his species, but an inordinate share of conceit and a superfluity of vanity, ventures to use an expression of Dryden's, rudely to thrust himself into good company & in spite of decency, to attack the reputation of men, whose footing in society has always been respectable; we have ever been of opinion that the finger of contempt, and the shafts of ridicule were the only genuine modes of defence. For once, however, in spite of our disposition to laugh, we will condescend to be serious, and endeavour to make some remarks on the first of his characters, with as much gravity as the subject will permit. The gentleman, who, in our author's first epistle, is the subject of his unprovoked and senseless malice, is a citizen of long standing in the county of Fayette, has an amiable and growing family, is generally known and respected for his probity and talents—for honesty, diligence and skill in an honorable profession—and his unaffected manners and steady patriotism, unaided by the arts generally put in practice, for obtaining popularity, have frequently secured for him the suffrages, and always the esteem of his fellow-citizens at large. His reading in civil and ecclesiastical history, and various other departments of literature, is pronounced by good judges, to be choice and extensive. In his own house, he is said to be hospitable and cheerful, and if an occasional and moderate circulation of the glass in the company of his friends, can subject him to the imputation of being "fond of the bottle," we are convinced there are not one hundred citizens, of the same age, in the state of Kentucky, who will not be equally liable to the odious charge. With the talents requisite to adorn any
station in society, he has, for the most part, chosen to keep the "noiselss tenor of his way, along, the squandered vale of private life," ambitious only to be useful, and proud of any service he can render to the public. We do not say, that he has an exuberance of wit, but every man of talents is not a wit, nor is a mere wit entitled to the reputation of a man of talents. In the above character of this valuable citizen, we will venture to assert, that we have done nothing more than express the judgment of an impartial public, where there are no motives to be blind either to his merits or his faults. If he has faults, (and he doubtless has,) they are unknown to us, and were they known, who would have the right, with forward impertinence, to expose them to the eye of the world?—We will therefore proceed to a short analysis of the abuse bestowed on a respectable character, by a writer, who, without the wit, appears unaccountably emulous of the fame and infamy of Cobbet.—Without attending to trifling particulars, we will merely exhibit the general outlines of the picture. "His figure," he observes, "is large and coarse, his manners uninviting; and his voice harsh and disagreeable. He has strong marks of what Johnson calls the com- ca vrs. He is fond of the bottle, and has traces of former intemperance in his face. His success on his first arrival in the state, was certain and inevitable, because there was no person of talents to oppose him. He has little general reading, and has not embellished his mind with any of the ornaments of poetry or the belles-lettres. He has no fancy, nor ever had, and having no brilliancy of mind, nor any powers of extemporaneous efforts. He has stored his memory with a great number of legal facts, which serve him instead of reason or fancy. His reason is factitious and artificial. The confidence which the people repose in him, does not proceed from attachment, but from his gravity," &c. Yet, with strange inconsistency, the writer proceeds to remark, that this man, who "has no reason or fancy, no power of extemporaneous efforts," is "distinguished in his forecasts by all the force and poignancy that have marked the effusions of the most distinguished wits!"
After what we have said to endeavor to disprove the writer's assertions, would be an insult on the understanding of the public, it would be trifling with the common sense of mankind. Such a series of deliberate abuse, falsehood so flagrantly notorious, have seldom disgraced even the productions of Cobbet, however licentious. The author, by way of epilogue, in another part of his letter asserts, that "my lord Coke and judge Holt, had minds entirely legal," that "they were without any of the embellishments of classical elegance, or literary acquirement." Such an assertion from a boy, would conquer the gravity of a lord chief Justice; it would provoke an Heraclitus to laughter, and make an Archbishop titter if he thought of it, in the midst of a sermon. To endeavour seriously to convince the world, that lord Coke and judge Holt were not unacquainted with classical literature, in an age when the study of the ancients was the only avenue to any kind of literary fame, would be trifling with the understandings of men; it would not only be a useless waste of time, but would place us on the same level, and make us appear equally ridiculous with the author of the assertion. The characters of lord Coke and Holt, have been long and justly held in admiration. It is most apparent that he is shamefully ignorant of their biography, from the observations he has dropped with regard to their learning. How much better would it have been for a superficial Tyro like him to have, employed his mornings in studying the writings, and his evenings in contemplating the lives of those great men, than attempting to delineate contemporary characters, so far superior in every respect, to his own. He should read before he writes. There are already more legal characters published than he or his correspondent are ever likely to peruse. It is not probable that lord Coke, or Holt spent their time in writing silly descriptions of the persons and complexions of the barristers who studied at Westminster-Hall in their day, but in the more useful pursuit of sound, legal, & extensive historical information. Should he ever be blest with a return of good common sense and reflection, he will blush at the folly and vanity which has blown him up, like a bubble, above his natural level, and he will perceive, that what he now considers as genius, originality and learning, are little else but vanity, impertinence and affectation. If he were stripped of these, he would be nothing but " A Reed shaken by the Wind. "

REMARKS AND OBSERVATIONS
On some of the beauties, contained in the Epistles lately published in Frankfort, under the title of "LEGAL CHARACTERS."
THE author of these extraordinary productions, begins by observing, in a note to the Editor, that "he has omitted the names of those gentlemen, whose characters he has drawn, that he might not subject himself to the displeasure of persons, whose regard

"he would be unwilling to forfeit." If we mistake not, he would have been more just in the expression of his sentiments and feelings, had he attributed the suppression of his own name, to this very rational dread: for, after perusing with attention, his singular pair of epistles, we are unwilling to admit that any womanish weakness or puerile emotion of false modesty, could have prevented him from gratifying the public in this curious particular. Besides, "from his having attended the courts, and had an opportunity of seeing and knowing the talents which he criticises," he has proved so remarkably and laboriously minute in describing the very dimensions of the body, the very turn and position of the head, the very squeaking of the voice, and, I had almost said, the very colour of the nose,* that he must have intended something more than the mere amusement of a solitary individual; he must have meant, that his allusions should be understood by a greater number of persons than his friend the lawyer, and his friend the letter writer. It is, therefore, sufficiently obvious, and but justice to remark, that in the suppression of his own name, he has instinctively displayed a real example of rational forbearance. He proceeds in the commencement of the epistle before us, to congratulate his "dear friend" and himself, on the style and elegance of their epistolary compositions. "Men of letters," he remarks, "have too often found it difficult to stoop or ascend," (for he appears never to have examined the bauteur ) "to the familiarity of the epistolary style." Pope "wrote long before he wrote in the true spirit of familiar composition, and Bolingbroke had too much of the flowing Ciceronian manner;" "Swift alone wrote with native ease of diction," and consequently Swift alone could have written from the heart. The gentleman has been careful to assure us, with becoming modesty, that himself and his friend also "speak from the heart," and "will never be in danger of speaking wrong." They will be equally secure from the affection of Pope, and the "flowing Ciceronian manner" of his celebrated philosopher and friend. They are of course superior to the poet and the statesman, but modestly claim an equality with the Dean, the Dean who "forms an era in the annals of elegant composition." We say modestly, for it is obvious to the most superficial observer, that the author of the "Legal Characters," has added a graceful improvement to the "style and manner" of the author of Gulliver's Travels, and after a close and attentive examination of Swift's epistles, we are obliged to abandon the search, without finding "the otium cum dignitate, bauteur, the Lucidus ordo, " and many other elegant additions to our Gothic language; his periods are besides, incomparably more mellifluous and sesquipedalian , they have more of the obscura dictio , (to borrow his own luminous manner of expression) and "have strong marks of what Johnson calls the vis comica ." Throughout the whole he has displayed an eccentricity of thought, not more remarkable for its audacity, than unusual among the vulgar writers of the day, we mean that tribe of writers, who never aim at sublimity nor physiognomy , and are for the most part, contented merely to be understood, such was Addison and such was the affected Bolingbroke, who never "stooped or ascended" to the familiar classical style of these wonderful letters. As for our author's manner we were long at a loss to what to compare it, we rummaged without success, the letters of Atterbury and those of the Johnsonian school, and even the epistles of Voiture and Scarron, would not bear a comparison; all of them had, indeed, somewhat of "the Lucidus ordo ;" but the obscura dictio was not to be discovered. We must, therefore, content ourselves with a mere negative commendation, and every impartial critic will allow that his manner is not Ciceronian. We had almost despaired of finding periods sufficiently elevated to express the immaculate purity of his language. Fortunately, however, we discovered in a poem of the seventeenth century, a profound piece of criticism, written in heroic numbers, which, with some alteration, will precisely apply to the letters in question.
A Babylonish dialect A strange and party-colour'd dress Of patch'd and piebald languages, 'Tis English cut on French and Latin, Like fashion heretofore on Latin; Which makes the low-unlearn'd rabble Think of three labourers of Babel.
What can express with more dignity than the above verses, the beautiful variety, the deep learning which pervade these charming productions. As to the term "Babylonish dialect," it alludes to the well known confusion of tongues which took place in the lofty tower of that ancient city. It applies to the letters before us in this curious particular, that
* He forgot to say any thing about the beard, we hope this important appendage will not be omitted in future epistles.
† Cicero's epistles are the most valuable collection of letters extant in any language. They are composed with purity and elegance, and without the least affectation—Blair. Let any person of taste and discernment take the trouble to compare a letter of Bolingbroke's with one of Cicero's epistles, and if he discovers any resemblance in style, we will acknowledge he can penetrate much farther into 'Thule,' than we can pretend to.
whereas, though a number of languages were at that time spoken at Babel, yet each individual Babylonian understood but one, in like manner, though our author's epistles speak three different languages, yet, strange to tell! the learned author himself, "if we are rightly informed" is familiar with but one. O wonderful exuberance of fertile invention! worthy to be transmitted by the great Cervantes himself, like Sancho's proverbs, to the latest posterity. Physiognomy appears to have afforded great assistance to our author in discriminating the 'nicherhades' of his characters. We are told, by those who know him, that he has made considerable improvements and additions to the system of Lavater, that he is without the possibility of doubt, at the head of all the physiognomical characters, not only in Kentucky, but in the whole United States, from the boisterous Atlantic to the 'Hesperian' shores of the boundless Pacific; that it is principally by the benign influence of this divine science, that he is enabled to contemplate such a 'vast, vast variety of scenes' that it is this that has so often enabled him, at the blackest 'noon of night' to sit, in poetic rapture, on the cliffs of Kentucky, (whilst nought disturbed his meditations, except the midnight blast 'rudely slapping on their iron hinges, the Frankfort window shutters') and penetrate, with lynx's eye, from the brow of a cliff, to the 'dark and distant Thule' a region 'incapable of the divisions and illustrations of geographical science.' Mirabeau in his gallery of portraits has favoured the world with a character of himself, a physiognomical character is at present, we believe, a desideratum in literature. It is related of Dr. Johnson, that, when a gentleman, on his first introduction, desired to know of him who was at the head of the literary world at that time in Europe? the doctor politely answered, that the laws of modern decorum forbid a man to speak of himself. We hope our author will not be influenced in his determination by such an absurd law, a law 'flowing from a system of factitious rules, and artificial reasoning.' We trust it will not be long before the author condescends to oblige the public with some account of himself, and as we are informed, he also claims the title of a 'Legal Character,' and as his intellect seems to be compounded of a little law, and a great deal of physiognomy, he might, by way of eminence, to be distinguished from the vulgar great, style himself a Lego-Physiognomical Character , we are inclined to believe, a character of this sort would not be half so great a phenomenon in nature, as the one contained in our author's second epistle. He has there given us the portrait of a being, that we had supposed was neither to be found in the heavens above, in the earth beneath, or in the waters under the earth; he has mingled together such a classical assemblage of contradictory qualities, that the mind of that man, if it had a real existence, must at some 'dark and distant' period, have been the scene of a dreadful contention between Oromasis and Arimane or God and the devil, his moral and intellectual elements are so confusedly jumbled together, that if the author had not given the victory to the devil, we might have been puzzled to determine whether he was destined in future for Heaven or Pandemonium, or the changeful orb that presided over the nativity of our eccentric author. What originality is here, what genius, what invention! Upon the whole we may conclude our remarks with this general observation, that our author's compositions in their 'style and manner,' display an astonishing sesquipedality of period, amidst the most remarkable rotundity of phraseology. Yet—true (however paradoxical) no one will deny their claim to simplicity; and if by lucky chance, any one of them happens to be found some centuries hence (among the rubbish in the 'sfeal depositories' of the bashful goddess, who dwelleth in little temples . The goddess whom nature hath permitted to call the most fragrant flowers 'within a certain range,' and even to pluck the 'Hesperian fruit' in 'vast quantities.') It will not improbably be honored with a nettoyé , and be preserved by the antiquarian of that day, as a specimen of the sim-le stuff that could sometimes amuse the refined Gusto of the nineteenth century. Wishing this elegant epistolary writer, and all his 'colateral and remote' friends, plenty of the ' otium cum dignitate ' with less of the obscura dictio , with a warm and loving embrace, we take our leave for the present.
Note.—The editors of newspapers who publish the Legal Characters, will please insert the above. It is intended to continue the Remarks and observations.

12TH OF MAY 1804. SCOTT COUNTY. AMERICAN JUBILEE.
IN commemoration and honor of the peaceable acquisition of the fruitful and spacious territory of Louisiana, the citizens of Scott convened at the Republican Lyceum, half mile from the Big-Crossings.
A large concourse of people convened at the Crossings very early and the morning was ushered in with a discharge of four rounds from the volunteer rifle company, under capt. William Johnson. The company then proceeded in solemn procession to the Public Lyceum, where a Barbecue was prepared for their accommodation. The company of ladies and gentlemen was numerous.
The celebration was opened with an address upon the nature and importance of the occasion, which concluded them together. Toasts were then introduced which were received with a discharge from a company under capt. Gualls at the reading of each toast, and accompanied with the loudest acclamations of rejoicing and approbation. The company having dined the whole evening was taken up in dancing and amusement. Nothing could excel the harmonious festivity, and universal rejoicings that pervaded the scene! Feeling the importance of the purchase, and viewing in anticipation the greatness and prosperity of the western hemisphere, every heart seemed to beat in unison, every soul seemed to breathe orisons for a continuation of our mild and frugal government, every countenance beamed benevolence and patriotism, every eye seemed to flash the electric spark of 76.
Richard M. Johnson, was chosen President, and Joseph Eves, Vice-President.
The following are the toasts introduced:
1. The peaceful purchase of Louisiana including the island of New-Orleans—a permanent basis for the political and moral importance of the western hemisphere, are acquisitions interwoven in the peace and happiness of the United States.—Negotiator measures the first and Military proves the last expedient in a Republican Government. 2. Citizens of Louisiana, we embrace you as our brothers, may your patriotic zeal be not only chaste but unspotted. 3. The 17 confederated States of America, and territorial appendages, the aggravated punishment of Tantalus and Prometheus, be the portion of him who shall dare weaken the golden ligaments, which bind them together.
4. The three western states, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio. Their 16 Senators and Representatives in Congress, John Breckenridge in front, unanimous in their patriotism, harmonious in their endeavours to accelerate the growing importance of the western states. Wonderful! O Wonderful! Not an ancestor in the number to admitter to the foul fiend of modern federalism the least comfort in the awful hour of its dissolution.
5. Success to Republicanism—Federalism quake and tremble, the day of judgement is at hand when the sentence, depart, will congeal your soul with horror.
6. An iron tomb for federalism, banded with ten fold adamant, and epitaph, "no resurrection."
7. Beelzebub, Nero and Judge Chase.
8. The departed and surviving worthies of the American Revolution—eternity to their virtuous and illustrious achievements.
9. Thomas Jefferson—Republican economy—universal philanthropy—philosophy.
10. Thomas Paine—the scourge of tyrants—the friend of liberty—may he never cease to expole to the sunshine of reason, federal Quixotism.
11. America—the seat of the arts and sciences, the happy residence of liberty, a sanctuary for the distressed and oppressed of humankind.
12. The original adventurers to Kentucky—may the mind of the present and future generations, be the temple on which to record their virtues and heroism.
13. The free and uninterrupted navigation of the Mississippi—the highway to national wealth, and to the commerce of other nations.
14. Benjamin Franklin—the morning star that announced the dawn of American freedom.
15. Destruction to all monarchic, aristocratic, and despotic governments.
16. The Louisiana volunteers—may their patriotic example, cause the despot of the earth, to tremble like Belshazzar of old, at the thoughts of violating the rights of freemen.
17. The American fair—may disgrace and infamy seize the wretch, who dares cast the dark shadow of calumny, upon the virtues of the female character.
PHILADELPHIA May 7. The New-York Commercial Advertiser, of Saturday Evening, contains the following article:— IMPORTANT! The brig Two Brothers, just arrived at quarantine, in 24 days from St. Jago de Cuba, spoke, on the 1st instant, the ship John, capt. Howard, 35 days from London, for Charleston, who positively assured him that the KING OF ENGLAND WAS DEAD.
NEW-YORK, May 5. MR. MUNROE.—It is stated on good authority, that letters from Mr. Munroe mention the inadequacy of his salary to defray the expenses necessarily incurred at the court of St. James. His speedy return is of course expected, to take possession of the government of Louisiana, which is understood to have been offered to his acceptance.
WASHINGTON CITY, May 9. Extract of a letter from Commodore Preble, to the Secretary of the Navy, dated Malta Harbour, January 17th, 1804.
"The coast of Tripoli is extremely dangerous at this season of the year; but I could not avoid paying it a visit, and on the morning of the 23d ult. I captured a vessel in sight of Tripoli, which left that port in the night, bound to Benghazi. She was under Turk's colours, and navigated by Turks and Greeks, but had on board two Tripoli officers of distinction, a son of one of the officers, a number of Tripoli soldiers, and forty-two black men and women slaves belonging to the Basha and his subjects, and a small sum of about one thousand dollars in money."
"My object in coming over here, was to attend to the translation of the papers, to look out for some good boats for light cruisers and to forward some necessary supplies to our unfortunate countrymen."
"If I find on the translation of the papers, that the vessel is Turkish property I shall release her together with all the people which the captain claims, viz —an officer of the Captain Pacha, three Turks and seven Greeks; the remainder amounting to about 60 Tripoli lines and slaves belonging to the Basha and his subjects, I shall keep as prisoners. I have written to the Basha proposing an exchange, and hope some of our countrymen, or at any rate will afford us considerable advantage in any negotiation for a ransom or peace."
"I have this day had direct proposals from the Basha for a peace—He is willing to release the frigate Philadelphia for a schooner, and he will give up our officers and men for 500 dollars each. I believe that on these terms he would make peace, but he demands an annual stipend for keeping it, such as the Swedes or Danes pay him, amounting to — dollars per annum payable in —. This we ought never to accede to, as it would stimulate the avarice of the other Barbary powers, and probably induce them to declare war against us."
Extract of a letter from commodore Preble to the secretary of the navy, dated Malta, January 20, 1804. "I have received further proposals (indirectly) from the Basha—He appears to be willing to give me as many of our officers & men as I have Tripolitans in exchange—for the remainder I suspect he is willing to take 400 dollars for each, and make peace without any consideration or annual tribute, and give us a frigate for a schooner. These terms per-
haps may be thought favorable by the United States. I shall send a vessel to col. Lear to consult him, and in the mean time take the necessary steps for lessening the Basha's expectations."
Professor Seebe, the celebrated Botanist, who had been absent eight years at the head of a party of naturalists, has returned to Spain. He had been over all the Spanish possessions of North America, and the Islands on the coasts. It is said, he has enriched Botany with 2500 species of unknown plants, and has also discovered 80 fishes not yet described.
PITTSBURGH May 5. Launched last week at Elizabeth town, 14 miles above Pittsburgh on the Monongahela river, a Brig of 400 tons; owned by messrs. Robert & James M'Farland, Merchants. She passed Pittsburgh on Sunday, but run aground about 3 miles below the town, where she remains, tho' every effort was made to get her off.—Cargo, principally flour.
WASHINGTON CITY, April 30. To facilitate to claimants under the 7th article of the treaty with Great Britain the receipt of their monies in instances in which they have not constituted the public agent in London, their special attorney, it has been thought proper to draw to the United States all such monies of the above description as may not be drawn from him by the individuals themselves prior to the first of September next. The agent is accordingly instructed to cease paying them after that date, but after the first of November next, they will be again payable at the city of Washington, to those who have right, or to their attorneys duly authorized.

THE SOLITARY THRUSH. WRITTEN BY A CAROLINIAN.  The sun had scarce display'd his light, And blest again the new-born day; When far sequell'd from the light, A Thrush thus raised his mournful lay:  "Ye trees that shade the flowery grove, Ye birds that now so sweetly sing; Ah! tell me, tell me where's my love, When with my notes the woods shall ring."  "Alas! my cheering hopes are vain, Far from that blest abode he's gone, To fill my breast with anxious pain, And leave me here forlorn to moan."  "But more for you my mellow young, Whose wants require a mother's care, My mind's with killing anguish wrung, For soon, to soon my griefs you'll share."  "No more will she your wants supply, Nor roof you at the early dawn; Nor from her nest with pleasure fly, To seek you food upon the lawn."  "No more, by yonder murm'ring rill, Where smooth and gentle waters glide; We'll sip in peace and drink our fill, Nor nestle by each other's side."  "Nor where you torrent's rapid course, Meanders as it foams along; Now rippling smooth, now roaring hoarse, We'll chaunt again our evening song."  Thus did he mourn his hapless fate, And fill'd with grief the neigh'ring wood; When suddenly his darling mate— His long lost love, before him stood!  Soon as his charmer he espied, His longing eyes he scarce believ'd; "And is it thou, my love," he cried, "Or is my willing sight deceiv'd?"  "Yes, yes, it is, it is my love, And welcome to my beating heart; Again each blissful joy we'll prove, And never, never more will part."  T. R. S. "T. R. S. light as air."

Kentucky Gazette--Extra.
TUESDAY, May 22, 1804.
***** PARIS, March 2.
We have not yet learnt here, that all the menaces and precautions united to other means of the police, have caused the delivery of Georges , or of others of his band, into the hands of justice. To attain this end more certainly, with regard to the first, the chief judge has caused a description of him to be published. This person become so famous in the history of conspiracies, is pointed out by the name of Georges Cadoudal , alias Larico , alias Masson : He is said to be 30 years old.
In the mean time addresses of congratulation on the miscarriage of the conspiracy, continue to arrive to the first consul from all parts of France, and from all the authorities. Above all are distinguished, in the clouds of addresses daily encircling, an infinite number from the military. From among these we shall quote that of general Angereau, now clothed with the command in chief of the camp of Brest. It is of the following tenor:
"The general in chief Angereau, to the first consul Bonaparte.---At head quarters under Brest the 8th Ventose, year 12 (26 Feb. 1804.)"
Citizen First Consul,
"The cries of alarm, founded on the borders of the Seine have echoed to the extremest point of Finisterre . Warriors, whom no danger could move, have trembled with fear, at the thought of the perils which have menaced our existence.---Neither the vigilance of the magistrates, nor public description of the traitors, nor the bonds, with which justice has bound their particular hands, would have removed their fears, had they not confided in the genius, who presides over your destiny, who watched you in the midst of combat, and who has commanded even the waves to respect your life.
"You will live, citizen consul, for the glory of France and the happiness of the world. You will live to avenge on England herself the approbrium with which she is covered by the unheard of crimes of a perfidious government; you will live, for so will the destinies."
"Such are the wishes and the thoughts of the soldiers, with whose command you have entrusted me, and whose organ I have the honour to be, on an occasion, on which above all their devotion to you has shone with a lustre, capable of making the endless contrivers of so many mischievous plots to tremble."
Health and respect. (Signed) ANGEREAU.
The criminal proceedings, on account of the conspiracy appear about to commence. The debates, which will decide the lot of such men as Marcou and Picabea will be peculiarly interesting. The form of them is determined. This is the object of the Senatus-Consulte , proposed the 6th of this month by government to the senate at an extraordinary sitting, and passed in consequence, the 8th of this month, by that body. This important act was inserted in the bulletin of the laws and is thus published officially. There are but 3 articles, in which there is reference had to the law of 23 Floreal, year 10. The text of these articles follows---
Art. I. The functions of the jury shall be suspended during the course of the year 12, and the year 13, in all the departments of the republic, for the trial of the crimes of treason, attempts against the person of the first consul, and against the inferior and exterior safety of the republic.
II. To this end the criminal tribunal shall be organized agreeably to the arrangement of the law of 23 Floreal, year 10, without prejudice of the power of abrogation.
III. The present Senatus Consulte shall be transmitted, by a message, to the government of the republic.
The Journal de Paris , which, first of the journals of this capital, has announced the Senatus Consulte , has added to the publication these remarkable reflections. "There is room for the opinion, that a pre-existing tribunal, composed of irremovable judges, independent and habituated to impartiality, is a surer guarantee of justice in decisions, in a time of revolution, than a body of jurors, naturally disposed to judge on political crimes, according to the spirit of the party, to which they may have been attached, and who will be opened before hand, by their society, as things and persons. Add the danger of electing jurors, after having borne the spirit of party into their judgments, transport it, more ardent and dangerous, into society."
INVASION.
The Courier de Londres , of Tuesday, under the head of Paris, contains the two following letters, which, it says, have excited a great sensation in the military circles:
Gen. Moreau, to lieut. gen. Duroc.
PARIS, Sept. 8.
GENERAL,
I have received the letter which you have done me the honor to
write to me, in the name of the first consul, offering me a command in the expedition against England. I thought that my opinion of that enterprise was sufficiently known to have saved me from the unpleasantness of rejecting such a proposition. I shall, however, answer with the frankness of a soldier, who can explain himself the more easily without reserve, upon the present occasion, as he has given some proof of courage, and done his country some important services; and besides, general, I consider your letter as being rather intended to sound my intentions, than as transmitting to me orders. I have never been the advocate of maritime expeditions, particularly since I have seen the remnant of our marine, and the choice of our armies swallowed up in them with astonishing rapidity. I think that, in forming enterprises, the issue of which is very uncertain, the result of which may give a mortal blow to the government which conceives them, and to the nation which seconds them, one ought to be forced to them by circumstances so imperious, that the safety and honor of the state would be compromised, if one should take a retrograde step that should cover weakness or irresolution.
But I do not see that the present circumstances oblige us to risk, against a thousand unfavorable chances, the greater part of our land forces; and that re-generating marine, which is beginning to be created, as it were by magic, by an enthusiastic and industrious people. I have asked myself, when I saw the considerable armaments that were making for the re-occupation or acquisition of our colonies, whether the peace were so solid that we should hope to be able to preserve what we had recovered or acquired, and if the restoration of our commerce were so necessary or so certain that we ought to employ in it so much treasure and so many soldiers. Let the first consul permit a soldier, who feels a lively attachment to his old companions in arms, to express here some regret at the unfortunate events in the too bold combinations which have destroyed so great a number of them. This regret will explain to him my opinion of the expedition that is preparing, and my refusal to take in part the direction of it. We had the best army in Europe, the best means of recruiting our forces weakened by eleven years of war. In its place we have now corps almost entirely composed of conscripts, among whom we no longer observe the veteran soldiers; but like those ruins which attest the grandeur and magnificence of those edifices which time has overthrown.
At present if we may judge from the immense preparations that are making, from the concentration of our forces upon points near the coast, recollecting the declarations made by government, and the reports which it accredits, the business in hand is nothing less than a desperate enterprise, the improbable success of which would be the ruin of England, but whose almost certain result will weaken us as a continental power, and be our total destruction as a maritime nation. I may be permitted to ask, upon seeing interests of such great magnitude hazarded or compromised, whether we were in a situation so critical with respect to England, that we were obliged to swear its destruction, and to prepare our own ruin. We were powerful and respected upon the continent; we directed (with too much impetuosity perhaps) all its political translations; we were safe from the power of the English navy, and for a long time, no doubt above the intrigue of the ministers of England; and it is in this situation, truly strong, energetic and imposing, that we attempt an enterprise which could only be excused by a despair that left us no choice of measures. I am far from disapproving of the enthusiasm excited in the nation against a nation eternally its rival, and almost always its enemy, from blaming the efforts and the sacrifices which it inspires; but I think that the action of government ought to confine itself to the development of those dispositions for the purpose of preparing, through it, the restoration of the marine; but to go farther, to descend to such great perils, our armies, still in the labor of their re-organization; this, general, be assured, is to expose us to be assailed by those continental powers who are jealous of us, and have their eyes upon us. This is to place us in the dishonorous situation, from which we were only extricated by the miracle that brought back Bonaparte from Egypt, and made him triumph on the 18th Brumaire. May I be now permitted, general, to make an observation, one which a wife and regular government is worthy to hear and appreciate;
but which I should not have hazarded in the time of disorder and anarchy, when the law of nations was scarcely more respected among us than the liberty of individuals. We are told every day that we are restored to civilization, that we are replaced in the first rank of social order, and yet an expedition is announced worthy the principles of those unsettled colonies who contend with their neighbors for enjoyments which they do not find at home, or of those savage hordes who see, in the end of war, nothing but the booty which they may acquire, and in its result the total annihilation of the adverse horde.
Such, however, are the strange ideas that have been propagated among the soldiers to excite them to obtain, from their cupidity, a devotion expected in vain from real courage. I do not pretend here to discuss the rights of conquest, nor to examine whether they can be extended in proportion to the perils which have been run to obtain them; but it is politic to announce before hand every thing that is meant to be derived from it? Is it fit to present it to the eyes of those who are to undertake it, only as a vast scene of pillage and assassination? It is, no doubt, contrary to the intention of the first consul that such means should be employed to corrupt the minds of our brave warriors, and to substitute the love of gain for the honor of glory; but it is to you, general, I confide the honorable task of illustrating to him those intrigues, and telling him how much they assist military men, who are faithful to the laws of honor. They all see, as I do, with inquietude, that every day is suffered to pass that spirit which in the early period of our military glory had no other impulse but the thirst of glory, the love of the country, I might almost say the enthusiasm of liberty, and surely that spirit will not revive, in which nothing is demanded of them but a blind temerity, in which nothing is prescribed to them but the abuse of victory. I speak with liberty, with confidence; and I do not think it a proof of courage. It would be shewing a want of esteem for the head of the government to see any danger in telling him what is just and true.
I have the honor to be, &c.
Lieut. gen. Duroc, to gen. Moreau. One o'clock in the morning.
My Comrade,
I have laid before the first consul the letter which you have done me the honor to write to me the eighth instant. It is with pain that I send it back to you by his orders. The gen. first consul charges me to inform you that he does not recognize in it the language of a Frenchman, nor the character of a distinguished soldier. He has sent it back to you for the purpose, that by destroying the evidence of an error which he wishes to forget, you may be sure that it will never be made use of to tarnish your glory; nor to impeach your intentions.---The gen. first consul orders me to acquaint you, that he wishes to have some conversation with you in private, the 25th inst.
I am, with respect, your Comrade, DUROC.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 15.
The following are the particulars of the death of Abdul Wechab, he was assassinated by Ibadgi Osman, Musselman of the sect of Ali. Abdul Wechab had profaned the tomb of Ali, and thus excited the fury of the disciples of that prophet. Ibadgi Osman resolved to avenge the ashes of Ali. He crossed the desert of Arabia on a dromedary, entered the tent of Abdul Wechab while he was at prayers, and plunged a dagger into his breast, crying, "Let this avenge the tomb of Ali for thy profanations." The brother of Abdul Wechab, hearing a noise, ran into the tent, where he found his brother bathed in his blood, and the assassin, who had squatted himself down, saying his prayers, and calmly awaiting death. He attacked him, but Ibadgi Osman, who was the strongest of the two, got up & killed his assailant with the same dagger which was still stained with the blood of his brother. The soldiers then entered, and cut the assassin in pieces with their sabres.
BOSTON, April 3
FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN.
Capt. Coleman, arrived at Nantucket from Salou, touched at Gibraltar, on his passage, and there saw a letter from Commodore Prebble, informing of his having taken a very valuable Tripolitan ship, and another prize, with thirty gentlemen and as many ladies, on a party of pleasure; with these it was expect-
ed he would be able to exchange the officers of the Philadelphia frigate.
We learn that Mr. Eaton is to go out to Tripoli, to negotiate peace with the Regency; or to bring the war to a prompt issue.
PHILADELPHIA, May 1.
Extract of a letter from the Cape of Good Hope, dated Jan. 24.
"There is a French ship in the bay, (the Geographe ) which has been three years in search of the ships of the celebrated Peyrouse. She found two men among the natives of New-Zealand, who had belonged to them, and were the only survivors out of the two ships, and have since died on board the Geographe . They informed, that one of the ships was burnt, and the other (Peyrouse's own ship) went to pieces."
DIED---On the 30th ult. Col. RICHARD BARNES of St. Mary's county, Maryland. In the death of this respectable citizen his friends have suffered a mournful, and his country an irreparable loss. His will declares all his negroes, amounting to between three and four hundred, free three years after his death, provided they behave themselves well.
The following is an extract of a letter from an American gentleman residing in Paris, received by a recent arrival:---"The unfortunate event of the loss of our frigate off Tripoli, has given a new opportunity to Mr. Livingston to shew his devoted influence in favor of this country. The consul strong in his attachment to Mr. Livingston and the United States, consented to his request, and has sent a messenger extraordinary to that country, to engage the Bey to relinquish the prisoners. Should it be done without cost, how much credit does not Mr. L. deserve from our government and how much gratitude from those unfortunate people, their friends and families? Much more still, should he make a peace for a trifle, which he would do if he had instructions.---Through the influence he has with the first consul, Mr. L. has obtained the unqualified warrantee from the king of Spain, of Louisiana, to the United States. This was the first of January last; notwithstanding the king's resolution on the 31st of December, not to grant it. Thus our sovereignty and possession of that vally important country is insured."

FRANKFORT, (Ken.) May 12.
The following vessels, we are informed, are now lying in the Ohio at Louisville, waiting for the rise of the waters, to enable them to go over the falls. In the beginning of this week the depth of the water on the falls, it was supposed was not more than 4 feet, and was daily becoming lower. The general apprehension is, that they will not be able to go down till next winter. Should this prove to be the case, it will be a severe loss to the owners, and will no doubt operate as a very great discouragement to the ship building above the falls.
Berthoud's ship, the Louisiana from Pittsburg of 324 tons burthen, loaded in part with hemp and tobacco---Berthoud's brig, the Naniwa from the same place of 132 tons burthen, partly loaded with the same---Gallagher's ship, the Mayville from Limestone of 180 tons burthen,---Houghley's schooner, the Mary Anne from Charleston on the Ohio, of 100 tons burthen, loaded with flour---O'Hara's, the conquest from Pittsburgh of about 80 tons burthen, loaded with flour---Arrey's ship, the Belville , from B-ville of about 170 tons burthen, with no loading---Mills & Frazier's, from Marietta of about 140 tons burthen, with no loading.---There is likewise on the flocks at Louisville, Jourdan's brig, the Catherine of 180 tons burthen, which will soon be ready to take the water.---The Kentucky of 230 tons burthen, which was lodged on the rocks at the falls last spring, is now lying three or four miles below the falls, and has been repaired sufficiently to be in a condition to descend the river, but is still without her keel.---Two schooners from Marietta, belonging to Col. Orr of that place, and a brig belonging to Mr. Tupper of Marietta, have gone over the falls this spring.

We are sorry to inform the public that three convicts made their escape from the Penitentiary on Sunday last, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, without being observed, and are now probably in the state of Ohio, or in the Indiana territory, as they were seen on their way to Eagle creek. They got through a hole which had been previously made in the gable end of the wing near the main building, and walking over the arches of the upper range of rooms, got through a hole which had likewise been accidentally broken in the ceiling of the apartment formerly occupied by the deputy keeper, and taking from thence two muskets and bayonets, a powder-horn, forced the door of the room over the wall, and by a flight of steps which is fixed there, descended without any difficulty. Their names are Wiley, (a notorious villain) Gatheran and Henson. We deem it a duty which we owe to the public, to insert the following description of them:
ROBERT WILEY is about 22 years of age, 5 feet 10 1-2 inches high, strong, well made and large limbed; he has grey eyes, a fair complexion and light coloured hair cut short.
WILLIAM GATHERAN is about 18 or 19 years of age, of a dark complexion, 5 feet 9 inches high, very crooked limbed, with large black eyes and black hair cut short.
CHARLES HENSON is about 22 years of age, of a pale complexion, five feet ten inches high, has grey eyes, and light coloured hair cut short. —ib.
The Imported Stallion Speculator,
WILL stand the ensuing season, which will commence the 1st day of March, and end the 1st day of August next, at the farm of John Breckinridge, esq. near Lexington, in Kentucky, and may cover mares at ten dollars the leap, to be paid at the stable door; twenty-four dollars the season, to be discharged any time before the 1st day of August, by the payment of twenty dollars; and forty dollars to ensure a mare to be with 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 one dollar to the groom in every instance. Attested notes for the season, and insurance to be sent with the mares.
SPECULATOR
Is now rising nine years old, is a very handsome horse, near sixteen hands high, a fine bay with as many good running points as any horse on the continent, and is well calculated to get either excellent race, saddle or carriage horses; and has established himself to be a most capital stallion, as may be seen by his colts, which are now rising one year old—his blood is unexceptionable, and of the purest kind, as may be seen by his
PEDIGREE.
SPECULATOR was bred by the Duke of Bedford, and got by his favorite stallion Dragon, (now in Virginia, and covered 145 mares last season, at ten guineas per mare) who was son to Woodpecker, his dam by King Herod, a sister to Florizel, Bourdeaux, and Sting, and the dam of Portia, Narcissa, Jessica, and Tarantula; his grand dam by Cygnet, who was got by the Godolphin Arabian; his great grand dam by Cartouch, a very capital stallion; his great grand grand dam Ebony, by Childers, out of old Ebony, by Balto, who was got by the Byerly Turk, out of Bay Peg, by the Leeds Arabian.
PERFORMANCES.
SPECULATOR has been a capital running horse—In 1798 he won once, being the only time on the turf that year—in 1799, being then four years old, at the New-Market Craven meetings, he beat Mr. Watson's Young Magpie, for 100 guineas—at New-Market second spring meeting, he beat Lord Sackville's famous horse Sober Robin, for 50 guineas—at the same meeting he won a handicap plate, of 50 guineas each, beating six good horses, among which was the celebrated horse Aimator; the same day he received 41 1-2 guineas forfeit from Mr. Heathcote's Opposition—at the July New-Market meeting he beat Mr. Cuffan's Young Spear, for 100 guineas, 7 to 4 on Speculator; at Brighton he won a handicap plate (the new course) 50 guineas each, beating Combatant, Ascot, Mr. Wyndham's horse by Fidget, Cypress, Sifter, Midnight, Play or Pay, and Opposition; at New-Market first October meeting, he walked over for a sweepstake of 50 guineas each, Bollenamuck and Combatant fearing to run against him, paid him a forfeit; at the second October meeting he beat Mr. Wyndham's horse by Fidget, for 50 guineas, 5 and 6 to 4 on Speculator; making eight times he won this year, which is oftener than any other horse won in said year, and came in second, for a handicap plate of 50 guineas each, beating eight good horses, although he carried 7lb more than any horse that started; in 1800 then 5 years
old, at New-Market Craven meetings, he beat Mr. Hayworth's Filbert for 100 guineas carrying him 7lbs. at the same meeting he won the great Oatland stakes of 50 guineas each (26 subscribers) beating Expedition, Wrangler, Herby-Lais, Stamford, Telegraphic, Antrim, and Vandall; all good horses—at the first New-Market spring meeting, he won a sweepstake of 50 guineas each (4 subscribers) carrying 12 stone 2lbs. (170lbs.) beating Lord Burford's Waymouth, with great ease, 7 to 4 on Speculator; at the second spring meeting, he received forfeit of 130 guineas from the Duke of Queensbury's chestnut horse Egban, carrying him 4 lbs. 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 calendars of England; the authority of which has never yet been called in question, and they are always referred to as authentic records upon those 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 on 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.
HUBBARD TAYLOR, JOHN BRECKINRIDGE.
Feb. 20, 1804.
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 ensure 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 calendars, 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.
JOHN W. HUNT.
Lexington, April 20, 1804. N. B. Pasture will be provided for mares, but not accountable for accidents or escapes.
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 Pot 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, Agamenon, 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 sweepstake of 200 guineas each, at four years old—he beat Lord Egremont's aged horse Seagull, a match for 200 guineas, across the flat at New-Market, in 1795—He beat Don Quixote, Galico, the Duke of Bedford's Col, 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 calendar.
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 Oysterfoot; 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 in for several seasons, and saw some of his colts 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.

Woodford County, March 26, 1804.
The full blooded English Race Horse, T U P
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 to 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 Darey's royal mare. Flavia was gotten by the Ferrer's Arabian called Plunder; her dam, miss Euston, by Snap; grand dam by Blank; great grand dam by Cartouch, one 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.

Performance of the dam of TUP (Flavia.)
1777, New-Market, 100 guineas each. Lord Ferrer's Bay Filly Flavia, by his Arabian, 1 Mr. Burleton's Black Colt Pigmy, by Damascus, 2 Lord Offory's Filly, by his Arabian, 3 Two to one on Flavia—Extract from the Racing Calendar, for 1777. W. FRAZER.
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 sons.—He covered at ten guineas a mare, and one to the groom. He is sure 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, see 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.
