Lexington, Dec. 7, 1805.
MADNESS.
AN effectual remedy on the human body, for that dreadful malady the bite of mad animals—it being the remedy that Dr. Stoy of Lebanon, of Pennsylvania, has effected so many cures with—A number of persons have been cured by Dr. Stoy and myself, that had violent symptoms of the hydrophobia, from one 'til two days raging. The cure can be effected as long as the constituent part of the blood is not separated; which will happen sooner or later, according to the state of body, or the effect of the bite. I would advise every person to make application as soon as the person has received the infection. No trust can be expected for the above. Michael Schaaq. Lexington, March 18th, 1805.

WILLIAM SATTERWHITE. Lexington, April 20, 1805.
RICHARD TAYLOR,
RESPECTFULLY informs his friends and the publick, that he has opened a House of Entertainment, in that large and commodious brick house lately occupied by Mr. John Instone, in Frankfort; where he is supplied with the best of liquors and provisions of every kind.

FOR SALE,
18,000 Acres of Land, ON the left hand side of the three forks as you go up the Kentucky, and at their junction. This land runs along the river three miles, and nine miles back. The bottoms are rich land; the ridges are capable of producing wheat, and other small grain. The pastureage is excellent for raising stock of all kinds, as it has a plenty of cane brakes, and peavines. All along the river is the sugar tree, wild cherry, and other woods common to this country. When you go back some distance, is the pine; which produces tar, turpentine, pitch and rosin; which will finally be valuable, independent of the wood that is upon the land. There is also a rock close to low water mark; that when the water is very low, shews clear salt upon its surface; and the rock itself tastes salt. There has been three water-witches (as they call them), trying the experiment, and say, there is four feet square of very salt water at the top of the bank, which is not an hundred feet from the water; and close to it a very easy ascending hill, for several miles; and also the wood along the river. A coal bank within three hundred yards. There is also five valuable coal banks, which are near the river, with easy access to them. A coal yard and boat yard; and it is said, several salt-petre caves. The bottoms and along the creeks would produce good cotton or hemp. Lexington alone, independent of the country blacksmiths, consumes thirteen thousand bushels per annum. We will suppose Frankfort five thousand, which falls at the landing at one shilling per bushel, and twenty thousand might be sold: this might be made productive by a man of small capital. Independent of these advantages, the mouth of the three forks is the best fishing place in the State. In a small crib they can get five hundred pounds of fish in a day, and may get by a fin, five or seven hundred barrels per annum. Tobacco, flour, beef, pork, tallow, hogs' lard, hemp, co rdage, whiskey, or cast iron, will be taken in payment. Part credit will be given. If the whole cannot be sold, a half will be sold, or a third. A clear and indisputable title will be given. For terms apply to Mr. Wm. Leavy Lexington, or at this office. Lexington, December 4, 1805.
Taken up by James Murry jun.
Living in creek county, on the waters of Pitman's creek, near Muldrogh's mill, On a Brown Mare, about seven years old, thirteen hands high, a star and snip, a little hipshot, no brands perceivable; appraised to 25 dollars, the 20th November, 1805—Also one Iron Grey Horse, two years old, a small star in his face, about 13 hands 3 inches high, no brands perceivable; appraised to 45 dollars, the 4th December, 1805. William Sympson, J.P.G.C.

JOURNAL OF DR. COWDERY (Continued)
July 15—The Bashaw, his wives and guards removed to his country seat at his garden. The season warm and our close confinement continued. We purchased figs, water-melons, musk-melons and cucumbers.
July 16—I was called to visit the Bashaw's oldest son, the Bey of Tripoli (termed the Prince Wales of Tripoli, by the English Consul) at his palace, about three miles from town. I found him in a lofty and airy apartment, lying on a matras, and surrounded by his attendants. I preferred for him and was highly entertained in the Turkish style. Saw two old women, said to have been a former Bashaw's wives.
July 19—The Bey was well enough to return to Tripoli. He called at the door of our prison, which was unlocked and the bolts and bars unloosed. I was conducted to him when he expressed great satisfaction at having recovered his health, thanked me for my attendance, and promised to alleviate our misfortunes as far as was in his power. I was then sent back to prison. The Bashaw spent a day alternately in town, on account of the expected attack by the Americans.
July 31—I was carried, with my trunk and bed, to the castle, where a room was provided for me, and the Bashaw informed me that I must attend the Americans and his family as a physician.
August 3—The American squadron, under commodore Preble, consisting of one frigate (the Constitution) two brigs, three schooners and seven gun-boats, at about 2 o'clock P. M. commenced an attack on the batteries and gun-boats of Tripoli. I stood on the top of the castle, where I had a fair view of the engagement. Three of the enemy's gun-boats were captured by the Americans. Two Turks swam on shore, and were carried before the Bashaw, who gave them a suit of clothes and a few dollars. They said that many were killed on both sides.
August 5—The American squadron anchored off Tripoli. I was ordered to dress the wound of a Mameluke, who had his hand shattered by the bursting of a blunderbuss. I amputated all his fingers but one with a dull knife, and dressed them in a bungling manner, in hopes of losing my credit as a surgeon in this part of the country, for I expected to have my hands full of wounded Turks in consequence of the exploits of my brave countrymen.
August 9—At about 12 o'clock the alarm gun of Tripoli was fired. The Tripolitans all took their stations, and went through the Mahometan prayer, by kneeling and kissing the ground several times, with their faces toward the east, all with as much regularity as the exercise of a well disciplined army. Their military manoeuvring was a scene of the utmost confusion. I got permission to go on the top of the castle, where I had a most extensive view of the sea and land, and saw the American squadron approaching the town. At about 10 o'clock the attack commenced, and the battle soon became vigorous, with a tremendous cannonading on both sides. I now beheld the melancholy catastrophe of the explosion of one of our gun-boats. I saw the mangled bodies of my countrymen precipitated into the air. For a few moments a general silence took place, when the firing recommenced with unabated vigor. I saw the shells explode, and set fire to the town in many places: but the houses being principally built of stone, mud and mortar, the fire did but little damage. The shells and shot, however, battered the town very much, and almost destroyed some of the houses. The firing ceased at about 4 P. M. when the ship John Adams joined the squadron. The Bashaw has a bomb proof room in his castle, where he staid during the action. On hearing of the explosion of our gun-boat, he ventured out to take a peep, with the precaution of having a Marabewt or priest, to seal a small piece of paper on the top of his head, with a Turkish or Mahometan scrawl, with assurances that it would entirely secure him from all danger; but he soon returned to his cell. The Turks all wear a paper of this kind, sewed up in a little velvet bag, with assurances from the Marabewt that it will protect them in the greatest danger. The Marabewt gets a sum of money for these blessings. If a Turk gets wounded or killed, it is supposed the blessed paper was too old or not placed in a proper manner. In the time of action, the Marabewts get upon some secure place and cry to Mahomet in the most distress yells to let them conquer their enemies; and beckon to the vessels to run on shore or be destroyed. Such of our crew as were able, were put to work, and drove about like horses or mules.
August 10—Lewis Hexmer, who lately turned Turk, went by order of the Bashaw and told Capt. Bainbridge, the particulars of the two late actions. The Bashaw informed me that the late commander of the schooner Vixen, Lieut. Smith, was commodore of the gun-boat
in the late action, and was killed by a musket shot through his head. Our men complained of being drove and beat about an unmerciful rate, in consequence of which they petitioned the Bashaw, in the following terms:
To his Excellency the Grand Bashaw of Tripoli, The petition of the whole of the American prisoners most humbly sheweth,
That your humble petitioners, when doing with all their power, as they are commanded, are most cruelly beaten by our wardens, lstoned, intulted, and spit upon by the soldiers and others; required to carry burthens impossible for us to sustain; and chased and bruised, until we are or soon shall be unable to labor at all.
For the many acts of justice, kindness and generosity we have experienced from your excellency, we cannot suppose that such conduct is authorized by your command: or that we should be punished for what is out of our power to perform; or the actions of others, which we have no agency in and which we cannot prevent.
Returning your excellency our sincere and humble thanks for your bounty and privileges heretofore shewn, and relying on your goodness for protection we therefore most humbly pray, that your excellency would interpose your royal authority and grant us a speedy relief. And your petitioners as in duty bound, will remain your excellency's most humble, faithful, and obedient servants.
On the petition's being explained to the Bashaw by Hexmer (or Hamet American, his name) the Bashaw forbid the Turks striking the prisoners.
August 11—The Bashaw sent for me and agreeably to his orders, I took a seat by his side. He began conversation about my country, & our squadron, which was then in sight, and consisted of eighteen sail. He said for two dollars he could repair all the damages that the bombardment did to his town—that but one man was hurt by the shells—that what he had been offered for the American prisoners was about 5 dollars per man—that he would make them earn that sum in two months. He asked me what I thought my countrymen would give for me. I told him I did not know. He said he would not take twenty thousand dollars for me; to which I replied, I might then expect to remain in slavery for life. He patted me on the shoulder and said I must then content myself to stay with him. I asked to go and see our men, but he refused, saying the Moors and Arabs would kill me if they could catch me.
August 12—Our squadron hoisted a flag of truce, sent in a brig and schooner, and fired a gun. The Bashaw did not and swore he would not answer it; and said he would not treat with commodore Preble. A truce, however, was afterwards held—Consul O'Brien, wished to come on shore, but was refused.
August 12—Another truce was held when the Bashaw demanded one million of dollars for our ransom. One hundred and twenty thousand dollars were offered and refused.
August 17—The Bashaw informed me that fifteen Americans were found drifted ashore to the westward of the town, and that one of them was an officer, with an epaulet on the right shoulder. We supposed they were men who had been destroyed by the explosion of the gun boat, in the engagement. I asked permission to go with two or three of our men and bury them, and the Bashaw told me I might go the next day. Our squadron lay at anchor off the harbor. The inhabitants had chiefly moved out of the town, for fear of another bombardment; and the Bashaw ate, drank and slept in his bomb proof room. Several tribes of the back country inhabitants had lately come in and offered their services to the Bashaw—in all not more than one thousand men. Many of them had muskets without locks, but had a sort of match to put fire to them. They were almost naked, half starved and without discipline. When they are going to battle, or appear before the Bashaw, they run to and fro, shaking their rusty muskets over their heads, all crying Hollo at Buoy? (I am my father's son) every tribe has a priest, or what they call Marabewt , whose badge is a small green flag which is carried in his hand or stuck up at his tent. They pretend great skill in prophecy, in which the people put the utmost faith. They prophesy great success in battle; and for a small sum of money, ensure any man against wounds or death in fighting a Christian. They often get on eminences, and beckon and sing to the American vessels to run on shore. They prophesied that another American vessel was to go on the rocks, and the bashaw fully believed it.
August 18—Was not permitted to bury our dead. Our squadron stood out to sea. At evening the Bashaw went to his country seat, and the Bey came to keep the throne till his father's return. They never both leave the castle at once. When the bashaw leaves it, the gates are shut until his return, for fear of incursions upon the throne. In the evening, the moon shining very bright, the prince or Bey ordered but the band of music, which was very ordinary, and made Christians, Turks
Arabs and Guinea negroes, dance before him, according to the mode of their respective countries, at which he seemed highly diverted.
August 19—Between 9 and 10 o'clock in the evening, Mr. Church, a respectable English gentleman was shot through the head in the street, on his return from visiting his neighbors.
August 24—In the morning between 2 o'clock and daylight, two of our small vessels hove about thirty shells, as was supposed, for the round fort, but they all fell short of the mark. Such attempts served rather to encourage than to intimidate the Tripolitans; and the Bashaw was in high spirits on this occasion.
August 26—At about 4 o'clock, P. M. the fellow who murdered Mr. Church was executed near the spot where the crime was committed. It heretofore had been a custom in this country, where a person had committed murder, to fly to the tomb of a Marabewt (or priest) where they were protected from justice, and a fee to a Marabewt would procure them absolution. The fellow fled to a place of this kind immediately after killing Mr. Church. The English consul Mr. Langford, on being informed of this murder, addressed the Bashaw and demanded justice. The Bashaw then found out by a boy who accompanied the murderer when he committed the crime, the particulars of the affair; and immediately sent a file of men and ordered them to prevent any person from carrying food or drink to the murderer. They watched him until night, when the Bashaw sent his Marabewt , who coaxed him away, brought him to the castle and confined him in irons. The next day the Bashaw called his divan, when it was decided that the prisoner was guilty of wilful murder, and ought to suffer death. It appeared by the evidence and confession of the prisoner, that Mr. Church had lent a sum of money to a Spanish carpenter in this place; that Mr. Church had preferred him for payment; and that the carpenter's wife hired the Turk to kill Mr. Church for forty dollars. The villain took his watch from his pocket after he had shot him. The boy who had accompanied him, and carried a lantern, was bastinadoed with 500 blows. The carpenter's wife was ordered to leave Tripoli.
(To be continued.)
DOVER, November 23. "Arrived in the Roads this morning the Lord Keith cutter from off Boulogne; she left our squadron last night. I hear by her that on Thursday night, some shells and rockets were thrown at the line of gun-brigs outside of Boulogne harbour, but without doing much damage to them; they have each a cable leading to the shore, and can be hauled on the main, should an attempt be made to board them."
"Owing to the unfavorable wind that has prevailed ever since Sir S. Smith's squadron failed from hence, a regular attack could not be made, and I suppose will not now be attempted, at least for some time to come, as the ships this morning quitted Boulogne Roads, and are now standing over for this coast—I am informed that out of the ten launches which went away from here with the fleet, only four are come back, as the gun-brigs which had the remainder in tow were obliged to cut them adrift, being unable to work out of Boulogne Bay with them after, the wind being right on the shore, and a heavy sea setting in. Sir Sidney Smith's new invented double boat, called the Cancer , received so much damage along side of the ships, as to render her unserviceable."
November 24. "Arrived in the roads from the French coast, the Pearl , Manly , and Firm gun brigs; also the Sceptre armed ship. Sir Sidney Smith's squadron has come into the Downs."
The Heckley has towed into the Downs the Sagittarius , which she picked up on the night of the 21st instant off Boulogne full of water. She was prevented from sinking, and the crew saved by Sir Sidney Smith's plan of lining with cork in imitation of the life boats.
Another letter, same date. "Never was expectation more alive to success—never were arrangements better calculated to ensure it, than in our squadron on Thursday last; that evening being destined for the grand attack. A finer day for preparation could not have shewn; the sea was smooth as glass; the wind in the very quarter that was most to be desired, blowing a gentle breeze from E N E. At noon the gun brigs and rocket launches in tow, stood to the northward, and anchored a brent off Ambleteuse, just at the entrance, it having been determined that they should run down along the enemy's line, lying in the road, at night fall, with the last of the ebb. By half past four, P M every thing was completely arranged on board the gun brigs and rocket launches, under the immediate inspection of Mr. Congreve, who is the inventor of this new system of bombardment, as it may fairly be called. Upwards of a thousand shell and carcase rockets were fixed in the frames, from which they were to be fired in volleys: the shell rockets, at a lower angle intended to be poured into the French brigs at anchor—the carcase rockets,
each carrying as much carcase composition as is fired at a round by an eight inch mortar at five of elevation, were to be reserved for throwing into the basin. The trains were laid that were destined to pour them by hundreds in a volley to the devoted vessels of the enemy. About eight o'clock, the Admiral went over the side of the Antelope to move his flag on board the Diligence sloop of war, in which vessel, as she draws but little water, and is armed with ten twenty four pounders on a side the gallant Sir Sidney meant to lead the attack in person. Never was more ardour and enthusiasm displayed than at that moment by all ranks. More than a hundred armed boats followed the Admiral to the Diligence cheering her with reiterated demonstrations of their ardour for the contest; which though every one felt must be dearly successful, yet every one knew must be dearly purchased; seeing that the enemy were fully aware of our meditating the attack for that night, and had been heating his furnaces for red hot shot, not only from one end of the bay to the other, but even on board every one of his gun brigs."
"The evening was still, everything that could have been wished, and a little after eight the sign was made for the bomb ships to open on the bay as the prelude to the attack; the effect was truly sublime and every heart now beat with accumulated hope. The admiral's flag was now flying on board the Diligence , the signal was made for the gun-brigs to lead in, and they were actually under way, headed by the Admiral himself. All was yet well; but scarcely was the line under way, scarcely was the first volley of rockets discharged, when on a sudden the wind charged round to the N W and in an instant blew a gale. Every one who has been at Boulogne bay knows what must have been the immediate consequence; from the smoothest surface the most agitated surf came tumbling upon us. The largest vessels of the squadron were in imminent danger of going ashore, and the smaller ones were rolling gun-wale to. Victory was in a moment snatched from our grasp. The admiral was most reluctantly compelled to annul the signals of attack—the bombardment ceased—such of our ships as were under weigh were with difficulty towed off the shore, many that were not were compelled to slip their cables. The confusion became general—flame fires were burning in all directions, the armed boats were hurrying back to the vessels, many of them constrained to take shelter in the first ship they could make. In a shift of wind so unexpected and so violent, it is not difficult to conceive the damage that has been sustained in the smaller craft and in the apparatus belonging to them. What the extent of it is, we are yet ignorant as the gale increasing in the night, and blowing hard all day yesterday, the squadron is yet dispersed. Three of the launches, however, are known to have gone down, but without the loss of any lives. It is but too much to be feared, that so much damage has been received, that the operation cannot be renewed on the same scale this year. Our good effect, however, has resulted: that every man in the squadron, and every one of the enemy too it is believed, who witnessed the commencement of the attack, is satisfied that the destruction of Boulogne may yet be accomplished, when the elements are not against us."

LEXINGTON, FEBRUARY 19.
AGREEABLY to the proposition in this paper of the 6th instant, the Kentucky Gazette is now published every Wednesday and Saturday. The advantages attending this alteration must be obvious to every person who has been in the habit of reading the Kentucky papers. Although every printer may have done his duty towards his readers, although he may have given the most important articles of information, yet the information to be given in such detail as to be satisfactory. An instance may illustrate:—We are told in all our papers, that Bonaparte has taken Vienna. Now who can say by what means he arrived at that city? An immense army, commanded by Bonaparte, must have produced in its passage through Germany, many important events, highly interesting to the enquiring reader; yet those events have hitherto been unknown to the people of Kentucky, unless they have been acquired from the Atlantic prints. Again—Although the combined fleets were completely defeated by Lord Nelson, and nineteen ships taken; yet, we are told, that not one of them was carried into port. Now, who does not wish to know the fate of each individual vessel? But a more important consideration yet remains—It might be asked of any individual who had exclusively read the Kentucky papers, what business was transacting in our national councils? What reply could he make?
These are inconveniences of a most important nature to our citizens, to remedy which, the Editor of the Kentucky Gazette has proposed the alteration before mentioned. The price of the paper will be $3: 50 per annum paid in advance, or $4 to be paid at the expiration of the year.
An addition of $1 from those who have paid in advance for the present year, will entitle them to the Gazette until the end of the year. As this arrangement will be attended with considerable additional expense, the Editor earnestly requests all those in arrears, to make immediate payment.
Married, on Wednesday evening last, Mr. John Bell, to Miss Rachael Stout, both of this town.
On Tuesday the 11th instant, the following vessels passed the Falls of Ohio, and were safely moored opposite Shippingport:—The Western Trader, Capt. M'Cutchan, 420 tons burthen, James Berthoud owner, built at Pittsburgh.

Extract of a letter from B. Thruston Esq. Senator in Congress, to his correspondent in Lexington, dated January 21.
A Bill to interdict our intercourse with St. Domingo, is now before the Senate. Warm remonstrances are made by the Minister of France, on the invasion of her colonial rights, by the merchants of the United States, in supplying that rebellious colony with arms and ammunition, &c. I think we shall, by the passage of the bill, remove this cause of complaint. I have some faint hopes that an amicable adjustment of territorial limits with Spain, and perhaps an extension of our national jurisdiction over all the country east of the Mississippi, will be an event not very distant.
I enclose you a copy of a bill now before us, which is introduced by Mr. Wright, of Maryland, a warm republican, as you see. Although some energetic measures are contemplated on the subject matter of the bill, I presume it will hardly pass in its present shape, as it might be reasonably expected to be followed by a formal declaration of war. The fact is, we hardly know what to do with that imperious, domineering British nation. We are eternally complaining of her arbitrary conduct, and infractions of the laws of nations, and still we take no decisive measures against her. The present session will hardly pass without something being done on this subject. Mr. Madison has published a very sensible pamphlet (too large to be enclosed) vindicating our neutral right, and exposing the unjust and lawless conduct of Britain, in relation to our commerce. You will have heard before you receive this, that Bonaparte is in Vienna, and the Imperial family fled to Hungary.
In Senate of the United States. January 20, 1806. Agrees to notice given on 16th instant, Mr. Wright asked and obtained leave to bring in the following bill, which was read and passed to a second reading. A BILL, For the protection and indemnification of American seamen.  Whereas, by the treaty of amity, commerce and navigation, made between his Britannic Majesty and the United States at London, on the nineteenth day of November, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four, by the first article of said treaty, it is agreed, "That there shall be a firm, inviolable and universal peace, and a true and sincere friendship between his Britannic Majesty his heirs and successors, and the United States of America; and between their respective countries, territories, cities, towns, and people of every degree, without exception of persons or places. And whereas, in direct violation of said treaty, his Britannic Majesty has caused to be impressed out of the ships of the United States, sailing on the high seas, divers citizens of said United States; and has compelled them to serve on board the ships of war of his said Britannic Majesty, in violation of their liberty, and at the hazard of their lives; and in despite of the remonstrances of the government of the United States, continues said unjust practice; and the seamen of the United States so impressed, by force, remains in his service. And whereas, the United States are solemnly bound to protect all those who are bound in allegiance to said United States. Therefore, Be it enacted, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That from and after the day of next, any person or persons, who shall impress any seamen on board any vessel bearing the flag of the United States, upon the high seas, or in any river, haven, basin or bay, under pretext or color of a commission from any foreign power, shall for every such offence be adjudged a pirate and felon; and on conviction shall suffer death. And the trial in any such case may be had where the offender is apprehended or may be first brought. Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That it shall be lawful for any American seaman, sailing under the flag of the United States, on any person or persons attempting to impress him by force, from on board any vessel of the United States, upon the high seas, or in any river, haven, basin or bay, to repel such force by shooting, or otherwise killing and destroying the person or persons so attempting to impress him, and shall, as an encouragement to resist, be entitled to a bounty of two hundred dollars, to be paid to him, or his order, or legal representatives, out of any money in the treasury, not otherwise appropriated. Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That on information being given to the President of the United States, providing satisfactorily to him, that any citizen of the United States, who shall have been impressed or forced by violence or threats, to enter on board any foreign vessel, shall suffer death, or any other corporal punishment by the authority of such foreign power; it shall be lawful for the President of the United States, to cause the most rigorous and exact retaliation on any subjects of that government, whom he is hereby authorised to seize and take for that purpose. Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That every American seaman, hereafter or hereafter impressed and compelled to serve on board any foreign ship or vessel, shall be entitled to receive as an indemnification for his slavery and hardships on board the ship in which he has been, or shall be compelled to serve, from the day of his impressment, the sum of sixty dollars per month, for every month he has, or shall serve, on board said ship or ships; and that the said seaman, his heirs, executors, administrators, or assigns, shall be entitled to recover the same in the district court of the state in which the port lies, from which the vessel cleared, for the voyage in which he was taken, by attachment of any private debt, due from any citizen of the United States, to any subject of that government, by whom the said seaman had been impressed; and that any sums of money so attached out of the hands of any debtor, shall be a payment of so much of said debt, and may be pleaded in payment or discount to the amount of the said sum so attached, and all the costs of said attachment, which shall be allowed as a payment of that amount in any suit for said debt. And that so much of the treaty of London, of nineteenth of November, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four, as secures the inviolability of such debts, as will be infringed by the attachments or recoveries, hereby authorised, shall not (so far as is necessary in the execution of this act only) be regarded as legally obligatory on the government or citizens of the United States. Extract of a letter from the Hon. Thomas Sandford, to his friend in this place, dated Congress Hall; January 16th, 1806. Dear sir. YOUR favor of the 23th ultimo, is this moment handed to me—accept my thanks for your information relative to the proceedings of our general assembly—they were timely. Not  pie of every degree, without exception of persons or places. And whereas, in direct violation of said treaty, his Britannic Majesty has caused to be impressed out of the ships of the United States, sailing on the high seas, divers citizens of said United States; and has compelled them to serve on board the ships of war of his said Britannic Majesty, in violation of their liberty, and at the hazard of their lives; and in despite of the remonstrances of the government of the United States, continues said unjust practice; and the seamen of the United States so impressed, by force, remains in his service.

And the trial in any such case may be had where the offender is apprehended or may be first brought. Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That it shall be lawful for any American seaman, sailing under the flag of the United States, on any person or persons attempting to impress him by force, from on board any vessel of the United States, upon the high seas, or in any river, haven, basin or bay, to repel such force by shooting, or otherwise killing and destroying the person or persons so attempting to impress him, and shall, as an encouragement to resist, be entitled to a bounty of two hundred dollars, to be paid to him, or his order, or legal representatives, out of any money in the treasury, not otherwise appropriated.

The shutting of our doors for so great a length of time, has given rise, I am informed, to various reports as to the objects of the nation, nor can it be wondered at, at a time when many of us expect from the President's message, that the nation may be involved in War. "I presume it will not be expected that I shall detail the measures on which we have been occupied, suffice it to say, that our confidential fittings have had an entire relation to our affairs with Spain; and that I hope the measures which have proceeded from those private legislative proceedings, will secure to the nation not only peace at the moment, but will place us in such a situation as will relieve us in future from just ground of misunderstanding with the government of his Catholic Majesty.  "During the debates which have passed in conclave, I think I may confidently say that we shall disagree to a report of a committee of our house, made some time ago, in favor of building six 74 gun ships. I have now every reason to believe that there is a majority of our house determined to prefer peace with every European nation with whom we have commercial relations. The success of the French on the continent, and the almost total annihilation of the combined Fleets at sea, further justify such a belief." Frankfort Pal.  A letter from Havanna, of the 26th ult. (received at New-York) says:— "The celebrated General BOWLES died three days since in the Miramar castle, reduced to skin and bones. He had for more than 40 days previous refused to eat any thing but oranges uncut; those he cut and sucked—and we have reason to believe that he had strong reasons for what he did."  DR.

Charles Pinckney esq. late minister plenipotentiary from the United States to the court of Madrid, came passenger in the Henrietta IV, from Lisbon. The reports, by the arrival of the Henrietta IV, from Lisbon, are, that the court of Spain is more favorably disposed towards the United States; that they had agreed to make compensation for spoliations committed by the French on their subjects; but would not consent to pay for those made by French citizens on Spanish ports. Admiral Gravina was only slightly wounded in the late action, and is not dead. The king of Prussia had joined the coalition. The French troops were reported to have made 12,000 prisoners shortly after the fall of Ulm.  A few days before cap. Harvey sailed, intelligence reached Cape Francois, that three Italian vessels, two ships and a brig, which had sailed from Italy, for Cartagena, on the Spanish Main, having in expectation of making a great voyage, entered the port of Aux Cayes, the crews were immediately arrested, by order of Dessalines, and thrown into prison; they were afterwards tried, condemned, and all of them executed, on the ground that Bonaparte being the king of Italy, was their sovereign, and they must consequently suffer as his subjects. (Courier.)  NASSAU, (N. P.) Jan. 7. Extracts from the journal kept by captain REILL, of the brig Eliza and Mary. Sailed from New-York, the 16th of September, and arrived at Tenneriffe the 5th Nov. where he learnt the following intelligence. That the Rochefort squadron, consisting of 5 sail of the line, 3 frigates, and 2 brigs of war, with the Calcutta English 50 gun ship, and 6 English merchant ships, prizes to the squadron, had arrived at Santa Cruz on the 3d ult. which caused an embargo to be laid on all vessels directly, which was to continue while the squadron was in port. They had sunk several English ships that had very valuable cargoes, on account of their bad sailing, not being able to keep up with the squadron. That they had uniformly sunk or burnt all neutral vessels they fell in with at sea, that were either bound to or along the coast of Europe, to prevent intelligence getting to the English fleets. That they had taken out their crews, and told them they must go with them to France, and should be paid by the government, the full amount, with damages, &c. that among the neutrals are the following American vessels, viz. brig Minerva, Salter, New-York, brig Two Friends, Fenwick, of Charleston, with valuable cargoes, were both burnt; Schooner—Tucker, of Boston; Schooner—Sergeant, of do. The number of neutral vessels, taken and destroyed by the squadron, amounted to 26, the captains of which, during the day, were allowed the liberty of going on shore, but the same privilege was not extended to their officers or crew. The commander in chief, Mons. Le Almine, had taken all their papers, and given to each a certificate, stating he had destroyed their vessels and cargoes, and that they must apply to the minister at Paris for a remuneration.

TO SOAR ALOFT ON FANCY'S WING.
The following is an Excellent Quiz upon the affected minute, and vulgar style, so much in vogue among the modern bards.
By the side of a murmuring stream, As an Elderly Gentleman sat, On the top of his head was his Wig, And a top of his Wig was his Hat.
The wind it blew high and blew strong, As the elderly Gentleman sat, And bore from his head in a trice, And plunged in the river his Hat.
The Gentleman then took his Cane, Which lay by his side as he sat, And he dropt in the river his Wig In attempting to get out his Hat.
His breast it grew cold with despair, And full in his eye madness sat, So he flung in the river his Cane, To swim with his Wig and his Hat.
