LEXINGTON, NOVEMBER 1.
HYPOTHESIS.
Is it not probable we shall have a mild winter, from the following circumstances?
In the month of June and July, the weather was extremely warm. At that time the ice broke away from the region of the pole and floated down the Atlantic to the southward. The latter end of August and in the month of September, it is well known, that it had arrived in the latitude of Newfoundland, as the British packet was lost about that time by running against a mountain of ice, in a Northern passage to Europe. Whilst it was floating down our coast, the weather was cold; and it is probable that the ice, which would have arrived as usual in our latitudes, during the winter months, has now passed along and melted away. It is therefore presumable, that as one of the causes of hard winters has been removed, that the approaching one will be comparatively mild. This may also account for the frosts that have appeared in some of the Eastern states during the last summer. The shores of America are known to be very low, and of course, the continent as far as the mountains would be easily accessible to that cold air, which was wafted from the ice as it floated along. Although it was cold in the Western country, yet there were no frosts to be discovered; which was, perhaps, owing to the Atlantic winds being measurably broke in their passage over the Blue ridge and Alleghany mountains.
The ship Fortune, Earl, arrived at Philadelphia, from Hamburg, has brought 200 Germans of the following occupations, viz. farriers, gardeners, bakers, coopers, tailors, glaziers, shoe-makers, weavers, brewers, carpenters, joiners, masons, and barbers.
The 17th ult. was the day appointed by the President's proclamation for the convening of Congress. On that day, twenty nine members of the Senate appeared and took their seats. Hon. John Brown from this state was elected their president pro tem.
One hundred and ten representatives appeared and took their seats. Hon. Nathaniel Macon was elected speaker, John Beckley clerk, and Joseph Wheaton sergeant at arms.
A resolution was introduced by Mr. Dawson, "that at all future elections for president and vice president, the persons shall be particularly designated, by declaring which is voted for as president, and which as vice president," and referred to a committee of the whole.
At three o'clock the following message was received from the President:
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States:
IN calling you together, fellow citizens, at an earlier day than was contemplated by the act of the last session of Congress, I have not been insensible to the personal inconveniencies necessarily resulting from an unexpected change in your arrangements; but matters of great public concernment have rendered this call necessary; and the interests you feel in these will supersede in your minds all private considerations.
Congress witnessed, at their last session, the extraordinary agitation produced in the public mind by the suspension of our right of deposit, at the port of New Orleans, no assignment of another place having been made according to treaty. They were sensible that the continuance of that privation would be more injurious to our nation, than any consequences which could flow from any mode of redress. But reposing just confidence in the good faith of the government, whose officer had committed the wrong, friendly and reasonable representations were referred to, and the right of deposit was restored.
Previous however to this period, we had not been unaware of the danger to which our peace would be perpetually exposed, whilst so important a key to the commerce of the western country remained under foreign power. Difficulties too were presenting themselves as to the navigation of other streams, which, arising within our territories, pass through those adjacent. Propositions had therefore been authorized for obtaining, on fair conditions, the sovereignty of New Orleans, and of other possessions in that quarter interesting to our quiet, to such extent as was deemed practicable; and the provisional appropriation of two millions of dollars, to be applied and accounted for by the President of the United States, intended as part of the price, was considered as conveying the sanction of Congress to the acquisition proposed. The enlightened government of France saw, with just discernment, the importance to both nations of such liberal arrangements as might best and permanently promote the peace, friendship and interests of both: and the property and sovereignty of all Louisiana, which had been restored to them, has on certain conditions, been transferred to the United States by instruments bearing date the 30th of April last. When these shall have received the constitutional sanction of the Senate, they will, without delay, be communicated to the Representatives, also, for the exercise of their functions as to those conditions which are within the powers vested by
the constitution in Congress. Whilst the property and sovereignty of the Mississippi and its waters secure an independent outlet for the produce of the western states, and an uncontrolled navigation through their whole course, free from collision with other powers, and the dangers to our peace from that source, the fertility of the country, its climate and extent, promise, in due season, important aids to our treasury, an ample provision for our posterity, and a wide spread for the blessings of freedom and equal laws.
With the wisdom of Congress it will rest to take those ulterior measures which may be necessary for the immediate occupation and temporary government of the country; for its incorporation into our union; for rendering the change of government a blessing to our newly adopted brethren; for securing to them the rights of conscience and of property; for confirming to the Indian inhabitants their occupancy and self government, establishing friendly and commercial relations with them; and for ascertaining the geography of the country acquired. Such materials for your information relative to its affairs in general, as the short space of time has permitted me to collect, will be laid before you when the subject shall be in a state for your consideration.
Another important acquisition of territory has also been made, since the last session of Congress. The friendly tribe of Kaskaskia Indians, with which we have never had a difference reduced, by the wars and wants of savage life, to a few individuals unable to defend themselves against the neighbouring tribes, has transferred its country to the United States, reserving only for its members what is sufficient to maintain them, in an agricultural way. The considerations stipulated are, that we shall extend to them our patronage and protection, and give them certain annual aids, in money, in implements of agriculture, and other articles of their choice. This country, among the most fertile within our limits, extending along the Mississippi from the mouth of the Illinois to, and up, the Ohio, though not so necessary as a barrier, since the acquisition of the other bank, may yet be well worthy of being laid open to immediate settlement, as its inhabitants may descend with rapidity in support of the lower country, should future circumstances expose that to foreign enterprize. As the stipulations, in this treaty also, involve matters within the competence of both houses only, it will be laid before congress so soon as the Senate shall have advised its ratification.
With many of the other Indian tribes, improvements in agriculture and house-hold manufacture, are advancing; and, with all, our peace and friendship are established on ground much firmer than heretofore. The measure adopted of establishing trading-houses among them, and of furnishing them necessaries in exchange for their commodities, at such moderate prices as leave no gain, but cover us from loss, has the most conciliatory and useful effect on them, and is that which will best secure their peace and good will.
The small vessels authorised by Congress, with a view to the Mediterranean service, have been sent into that sea; and will be able more effectually to confine the Tripolitan cruisers within their harbours, and supersede the necessity of convoy to our commerce in that quarter. They will sensibly lessen the expences of that service the ensuing year.
A further knowledge of the ground in the north-eastern, and north-western angles of the United States has evinced that the boundaries established by the treaty of Paris, between the British territories and our's in those parts, were too imperfectly described to be susceptible of execution. It has, therefore, been thought worthy of attention, for preserving and cherishing the harmony and useful intercourse subsisting between the two nations, to remove by timely arrangements what unfavorable incidents might otherwise render a ground of future misunderstanding. A convention has, therefore, been entered into, which provides for a practicable demarcation of those limits to the satisfaction of both parties.
An account of the receipts and expenditures of the year, ending the 30th of September last, with the estimates for the service of the ensuing year, will be laid before you by the Secretary of the Treasury, so soon as the receipts of the last quarter shall be returned from the more distant states. It is already ascertained that the amount paid into the treasury, for that year, has been between eleven and twelve millions of dollars, and that the revenue, accrued during the same term, exceeds the sum counted on, as sufficient for our current expences, and to extinguish
the public debt, within the period heretofore proposed.
The amount of debt paid, for the same year, is about three millions one hundred thousand dollars, exclusive of interest, and making, with the payment of the preceding year, a discharge of more than eight millions and a half of dollars of the principal of that debt, besides the accruing interest: and there remain in the treasury nearly six millions of dollars. Of these eight hundred and eighty thousand have been reserved for payment of the first instalment due, under the British convention of January 8, 1802, and two millions are, what have been before mentioned, as placed by Congress under the power and accountability of the President, towards the price of New Orleans and other territories acquired, which, remaining untouched, are still applicable to that object, and go in diminution of the sum to be funded for it.
Should the acquisition of Louisiana be constitutionally confirmed and carried into effect a sum of nearly thirteen millions of dollars will then be added to our public debt, most of which is payable after fifteen years; before which term, the present existing debts will all be discharged, by the established operation of the sinking fund. When we contemplate the ordinary, annual, augmentation of import from increasing population and wealth, the augmentation of the same revenue, by its extension to the new acquisition, and the economies which may still be introduced into our public expenditures, I cannot but hope that Congress in reviewing their resources, will find means to meet the intermediate interest of this additional debt, without recurring to new taxes, and applying to this object only the ordinary progression of our revenue. Its extraordinary increase, in times of foreign war, will be the proper and sufficient fund for any measures of safety or precaution, which that state of things may render necessary to our neutral position.
Remittances for the instalments of our foreign debt having been found practicable without loss, it has not been thought expedient to use the power, given by a former act of Congress, of continuing them by reloads and of redeeming, instead thereof, equal sums of domestic debt, altho, no difficulty was found in obtaining that accommodation.
The sum of fifty thousand dollars, appropriated by Congress for providing gun-boats, remains unexpended. The favorable and peaceable turn of affairs on the Mississippi rendered an immediate execution of that law unnecessary; and time was desirable, in order that the institution of that branch of our force might begin on models the most approved by experience. The same issue of events dispensed with a resort to the appropriation of a million and an half of dollars, contemplated for purposes which were effected by happier means.
We have seen with sincere concern the flames of war lighted up again in Europe, and nations with which we have the most friendly and useful relations, engaged in mutual destruction. While we regret the miseries in which we see others involved, let us bow with gratitude to that kind Providence, which inspiring with wisdom and moderation our late legislative councils, while placed under the urgency of the greatest wrongs, guarded us from hastily entering into the sanguinary contest, and left us only to look on and to pity its ravages. These will be heaviest on those immediately engaged; yet the nations pursuing peace will not be exempt from all evil. In the course of this conflict let it be our endeavour as it is our interest and desire, to cultivate the friendship of the belligerent nations by every act of justice & of innocent kindness; to receive their armed vessels with hospitality from the distresses of the sea, but to administer the means of annoyance to none; to establish in our harbours, such a police as may maintain law and order; to restrain our citizens from embarking individually in a war in which their country takes no part; to punish severely those persons, citizen or alien, who shall usurp the cover of our flag, for vessels not entitled to it, infecting thereby with suspicion those of real Americans, and committing us into controversies for the redress of wrongs not our own; to exact from every nation the observance, towards our vessels and citizens, of those principles and practices which all civilized people acknowledge; to merit the character of a just nation, and maintain that of an independent one, preferring every consequence to insult and habitual wrong. Congress will consider whether the existing laws enable us efficaciously to maintain this course with our citizens in all places and with others while within the limits of our jurisdiction; and will give them the new modifications necessary for these objects. Some contraventions of right have already taken place, both within our jurisdictional limits, and on the high seas. The friendly disposition of the governments from whose agents they have proceeded,
as well as their wisdom and regard for justice, leave us in reasonable expectation, that they will be rectified and prevented in future; and that no act will be countenanced by them which threatens to disturb our friendly intercourse. Separated by a wide ocean from the nations of Europe, and from the political interests which entangle them together, with productions & wants which render our commerce and friendship useful to them, and theirs to us, it cannot be the interest of any to assail us, nor ours to disturb them. We should be most unwise indeed were we to cast away the singular blessings of the position in which nature has placed us; the opportunity she has endowed us with of pursuing, at a distance from foreign contentions, the paths of industry, peace & happiness, of cultivating general friendship, and of bringing collisions of interest to the umpirage of reason, rather than of force. How desirable then must it be, in a government like ours, to see its citizens adopt individually the views, the interests, and the conduct which their country should pursue, divesting themselves of those passions and partialities, which tend to lessen their friendships, and to embarrass and embroil us in the calamitous scenes of European politics. Confident, fellow citizens, that you will duly estimate the importance of neutral dispositions, towards the observance of neutral conduct, that you will be sensible how much it is our duty to look on the bloody Arena spread before us, with commiseration indeed, but with no other wish than to see it closed, I am persuaded you will cordially cherish these dispositions, in all discussions amongst ourselves, and in all communications with your constituents. And I anticipate with satisfaction the measures of wisdom, which the great interests now committed to you, will give you an opportunity of providing and myself that of approving and of carrying into execution, with the fidelity I owe to my country.

SORREL HORSE, three years old, about fourteen hands high, both hind feet white, a star and long snip, some saddle spots, neither branded or docked—appraised by Michael Rice and Gabriel Lewis, to 30 dollars—Given under my hand this 20th day of October, 1803. Gable Maddison, j. p.
Three Hundred Dollars Reward, Will be paid for apprehending my young, tall, slim, negro man TOM, about twenty years of age, with two large bright Sorrel Horses, And the villain or villains who have stolen them, with proof to bring them to conviction. The horses are of the following description—One of them is an uncommonly large horse, being about five and an half hands high, and very strong made, with a hollow spot on the upper part of his shoulder blade on the mounting side, about the size of a man's hand, and known in the upper country to be the effect of the disorder that is there generally called the swain, his mane hangs on both sides, he carries a light short switch tail that was formerly docked and has been nicked, has no natural white marks nor brand that is recollected, is a very fine draft horse, about seven years old, and walks, trots and canters remarkably well under the saddle, for a horse of his great weight. The other horse is about five feet and an inch high, and lengthy made, has generally a sun on his off eye, in which he is blind through the eye is not funk, and has a handsome star and narrow blaze, with one of his binder feet a little white, and one of his fore legs appears to have been formerly cut by a hobble, his withers is thin and high, on which he has the marks of old galls and is now re-siggaled by the tree of the saddle being broken under the pommel, on which the said servant rides, with a colored horse rug under the saddle; the horse walks with an unusual swing behind and very fast and pleasant to the rider, trots long, looses rope. Confident, fellow citizens, that you will duly estimate the importance of neutral dispositions, towards the observance of neutral conduct, that you will be sensible how much it is our duty to look on the bloody Arena spread before us, with commiseration indeed, but with no other wish than to see it closed, I am persuaded you will cordially cherish these dispositions, in all discussions amongst ourselves, and in all communications with your constituents. And I anticipate with satisfaction the measures of wisdom, which the great interests now committed to you, will give you an opportunity of providing and myself that of approving and of carrying into execution, with the fidelity I owe to my country. TH: JEFFERSON. October 17, 1803. Sept. 22. John Du Pont.

THE BANKS OF AYR.
A SONG, By Robert Burns.
Tune.....Roslin Castle.
The gloomy night is gathering fast, Loud roars the wild inconstant blast; Yon murky cloud is foul with rain, I see it driving o'er the plain: The hunter now has left the moor, The scatter'd coveys meet secure, While I, a wanderer, prest with care, Along the lonely banks of Ayr.
The autumn mourns her ripening corn, By early winter's savage torn; Across her placid azure sky, He sees the scowling tempest fly: Chill runs my blood to hear it rave, I think upon the stormy wave, Where many a danger I must dare, Far from the bonnie banks of Ayr.
'Tis not the surging billow's roar, 'Tis not that fatal, deadly shore; Though death in every shape appear, The wretched have no more to fear: But round my heart the ties are bound, That heart transpierc'd with many a wound; These bleed afresh, those ties I tear, To leave the bonnie banks of Ayr.
Farewell old Coila's hills and dales, The healthy moors and winding vales; The scenes where wretched fancy roves, Pursuing past unhappy loves! Farewell, my friends! farewell, my foes! My peace with these, my love with those— The bursting tears my heart declare— Farewell the bonnie banks of Ayr.
From a late English Paper.
EPIGRAM.
Says Boney to Johnny, I'll soon be in Dover! Says Johnny to Boney, that's doubted by some; Says Boney, but what if I really come over? Says Johnny, then really you'll be overcome.

Col. Bodens, who was very fat, being accosted by a man to whom he owed money, with a howd' ye, an- swered, "pretty well, I thank you, you find I hold my own." "Yes fir," rejoined the other, "and mine too, to my sorrow."
Observations on the wall discovered in North Carolina, an account of which was published last week.
AN accurate chemical analysis has been made in this city, of the external and internal parts of the stones, and of what is improperly called the cement, of the famous wall of North Carolina, of which there is an ac- count in your paper of Wednesday, from which it appears that it is com- posed of Basaltes, and is altogether a production of nature.
The discovery of this wall does not seem to strengthen the opinion of those, who believe that this west- ern world has once before been in- habited by a civilized people, or vi- sited oftener than history informs us of, and prior to its authenticated discovery by Columbus." This con- clusion is absurd in the extreme, and can answer no other purpose than to confirm learned foreigners in our o- pinion of our total want of science, and ignorance of the most common productions of nature.
The Giants Causeway, and the Cave of Fingal, both formed of Ba- saltes, are as great curiosities as the wall of North Carolina.

BROWN AND WEST'S PATENT WOODEN STILLS
HAVE been in use for some time, in the vicinity of Lexington, and have re- ceived the most unequivocal approbation from more than two hundred Practical Distillers, whose certificates could be easily procured.
Any common carpenter or cooper can construct a distillery on this plan, in three or four days, and the cost of stills which will contain 500 gallons, will not exceed 100 dollars.
Spirit (of high proof and free from all disagreeable taste) is produced by one operation, which saves the expense and trouble of doubling.
These stills work more than three times as fast as the common stills and require a very small quantity of fuel.
Gentlemen, who are desirous of pur- chasing the Patent Right for states, coun- ties or single distilleries, will please to ap- ply to the Patentees in Lexington, Ken- tucky.
The price of Rights to individuals 50 dollars.
