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 equal, as a foal getter, to any horse in Virginia, either imported or country bred.

The Noted Running Horse, DARE DEVIL, (OR JOHNSON'S COLT.)
STANDS in Lexington, near the lower end of Mr. Dodge's rope walk and adjoining Mr. J. Maxwell's field, at the white stable on the late extension of Upper-Street; to be let to mares at ten dollars the season, which may be discharged by the payment of six within the season, twenty-five cents at the stable door.
DARE DEVIL is an elegant deep bay, black legs, mane and tail, full 15 1-2 hands high, was got by the old imported Don Carlos, his dam by old Harmless, his grand dam by col. Fitzhugh's noted True Whig. To say more of his pedigree I conceive unnecessary. His colts are large and very elegant, and those that have been tried, are found to be horses of great strength and activity, fine figure and gaiety and have, when grown up, commanded very high prices; Dare Devil is a horse of fine figure, and great gaiety & sprightliness, and certainly possesses the grand requisites either for the turf, saddle or harness; excellent eyes, fine limbs, strong bone, muscular strength and action equal perhaps to any horse in the United States, as will appear from the following sketch of his performance.
In the fall '97, he won the Jockey Club colt's purse at Lexington; in the fall '98, he distanced the noted running horse Weazle, four miles the heats, at maj. Blackburn's course; the same fall he won a purse at Frankfort, beating several fleet horses; was brought to Lexington the next day by 12 o'clock, notwithstanding the roads were very deep and heavy, was started immediately (without being cleaned) flew the course, leaped a high fence that was put up at a short turn in the course with the intent to keep the horses from flying off the course, was leaped back, saved his distance that heat, and took the purse, two miles the heats, beating col. Bibb's noted running stud horse Black Shark, and col. Ribby's Roan. In August '99, he won a quarter race for 100l. at Miller's Town, carrying 200lbs. to a catch, beating col. Buckner's mare, a noted quarter nag; the same year, in September, he received a forfeit of 500 dollars, on a match with the noted running stud horse Alfred, two miles the heats; the same fall he won a purse at Danville, two miles the heats; the next week he won a purse at Bairdstown, three miles the heats, beating Black Shark, and distanced the noted horse Gold Wire, one week after walked over the course at Louisville for the first day's purse. There are a great number of other races formerly run by Dare Devil, which he was successful in, but do not state them lest I might be inaccurate; one however I am informed of by Mr. Gatewood—a purse race, the heats, at George Town, where he more than double distanced the famous running horse Diomedes, which had been kept by Mr. Gatewood. I believe I may say with propriety, that he has run and won more races than any horse that ever run in this state.
The foregoing statement of his pedigree and performance, is impartial and precise, as near as I could ascertain from good authority.

VIENNA, January 16.
The emperor arrived here this morning at 11 o'clock; he first repaired to the Cathedral, where a Te Deum was sung, and afterwards proceeded through the different streets to his palace; he was only attended by the Citizen guard on horseback; the citizens on foot under arms formed a line; no regular troops appeared. The cavalcade consisted of eight carriages, in the last of which were the emperor and empress. Great emotions were visible on the countenances of their majesties. The order which prevailed, the crowds of inhabitants in the streets, the loyal sentiments which
were generally manifested, furnished a proof of the virtues of the inhabitants of Vienna and of their attachment to their sovereign. Before the arrival of the emperor, the following proclamation had been stuck up:
"Francis II, by the grace of God, elect of the Romans, always august, hereditary emperor of Austria, king of Germany, Hungary, Bohemia, &c."
"When I was at a distance from you, I had good grounds to believe that our separation would be of short duration, for I had taken the resolution to return to Vienna immediately after the sittings of the Hungarian Diet had broken up; my intention was to remain with you as long as my presence in the capital could agree with my obligation to watch over the interests of my whole empire. The force of circumstances alone prevented my executing this resolution. I conceived it was my duty towards you, towards the generality of my faithful subjects, to remain in the neighborhood of the combined armies. I made choice of a representative who possessed your confidence, and who, in every respect, deserved it. I have had my thoughts taken up with you, and I have watched over your interests as much as unfortunate circumstances have permitted. Providence not having been pleased to lay the foundation of a lasting security by means of a military success, I have redoubled my efforts to restore repose and tranquility to my conquered states by negotiations for peace. The success of my efforts has appeared tardy to my breast; but an affair which embraced the present and the future, and the decision which required a mutual consent could not be brought to a speedier determination."
"This unfortunate time is now past, I return in the midst of you with those feelings which your constancy, your unshaken attachment, your vigilance in preserving order and repose, your eagerness in short to temper by beneficence the misfortunes of humanity, have inspired me with. There is no duty but what you have fulfilled, no virtue but what you have practiced. You have acquired the esteem of your fellow countrymen, and that of foreigners; you have, in short, the justest claim to my gratitude. When still distant from you and bearing the most painful proofs, I found motives of tranquility in this solitary sentiment."
"But if I abandon myself justly to that joy which my return in the midst of the good inhabitants of Vienna causes in my breast, if you come gladly to meet your sovereign, and forget in seeing him once more, the calamities which have overwhelmed you, do not imagine on this account that your present situation is unknown to me, and that I have not attentively considered it."
"Yes, generous people! you have experienced misfortunes which have shaken to their very foundations, the prosperity which your efforts and activity had acquired you. I do not conceal from myself the state of things; I have even fought to become thoroughly acquainted with it, because this knowledge is indispensably necessary in order to establish the relation which must exist between the resources and wants. Every thing has already been done which it was possible to do under these unfortunate circumstances, to prevent the extraordinary consumptions which took place from producing either famine or an unportable dearness. In order to attain this end, I shall for the future employ every means which Providence has placed in my hands."
"Be always as faithful to your prince as you have been in the most critical times; contribute, by your loyalty to the general good, to which all my efforts are directed; redouble your industry; conduct yourselves always with the same nobleness, shut your ears to unjust censures; rely upon the Almighty, and join your prayers to mine. Our wounds, however deep, will shortly be closed."
"FRANCIS."

HAMBURG, Feb. 11.
Some of the German papers contain an account, that the French army had actually entered the kingdom of Naples, and dispersed the combined forces in an engagement, in which the Prince Royal of Naples is said to have lost his life. These rumours, however, require official confirmation.
According to private letters from Paris, the Neapolitan Ambassador Marquis de Gallo, had been ordered to leave that city in 24 hours. Cardinal Ruffo was expected there from Naples, but orders are said to have been sent by Napoleon to the frontiers, not to permit him to enter the French territory. Their Sicilian majesties have returned to Palermo, and the king of Sardinia has returned to his Island.
Since Bonaparte's return to Paris, the French bank has resumed its payments. Ninety-six large casks, full of gold and silver, escorted by a large body of troops, proceeded to Napoleon's entrance, and have been deposited in the palace of the Thuilleries.
General Lauriston has taken possession of Venice in the name of Na-
poleon. The French boast much of having become such near neighbours of the Turks.
FRANKFORT. Feb. 2.
Since the conclusion of war, this city has experienced its disagreeable consequences in the highest degree. Besides the troops we have had to quarter, a contribution of four million of trunks have been imposed on us. On the 4th the following letter was addressed by marshal Augereau to our magistrates:
GENTLEMEN, I am ordered by my Sovereign the emperor of the French, and king of Italy, to demand a contribution of four millions from the town of Frankfort, as I have no doubt but that you will testify your readiness to comply with the desire of his majesty. I request that you will as speedily as possible place the said sum in the hands of the Treasurer General of the grand army. M. Garan Inspector of reviews, who will present this letter to you, is instructed to be the interpreter of my sentiments to the Senate, in order that he may confer farther with them on the subject of his mission.
I have the honor, With high consideration, to be, Your's &c.
AUGEREAU.
Dermstadt, Feb. 4, 1806.
Immediately upon the receipt of this letter the magistrates assembled to consider upon its contents, and resolved to send three of their number to Paris, to beseech the Emperor of the French to relieve the city from this heavy contribution. The Senate afterwards addressed a proclamation to the Burghers, to inform them, that if the half of the contribution was not speedily raised, a new garrison of ten thousand men would be sent into the town. On the contrary, if the sum was raised, it was not only hoped the other half of the contribution would not be required, but that the number of troops in town would speedily be reduced. The senate has employed every means to raise the sum required. A Call has been made upon all the inhabitants without distinction for two per cent, on the funds, merchandise, furniture and property of every kind. This tax was to be paid within eight days at the least. Since this happened all public amusements have ceased. The theatres are shut up, and no more concerts have been holden.
CONGRESS.
Senate of the United States, March 17, 1806.
Report of the committee to whom was referred the message of the president of the United States, on the application of Hamet Caramalli.
Committee—Messrs. Bradley, Wright, Baldwin, Smith, of Maryland, and Tracy.
Mr. Bradley, from the committee to whom was referred the application of Hamet Caramalli, ex-Bashaw of Tripoli, submitted the following
REPORT—
The ex-Bashaw founds his claim on the justice of the United States, from his services and sufferings in their cause, and from his having been deceived and amused with the prospect of being placed on the throne, as legitimate sovereign of Tripoli, and frequently drawn from eligible situations, for the purpose of being made the dupe and instrument of policy, and finally sacrificed to misfortune and wretchedness. The committee, from a full investigation of the documents which have been laid before congress, with other evidence that has come within their knowledge, are enabled to lay before the senate a brief statement of facts in relation to the ex-Bashaw, and the result of their deliberations thereon.
This unfortunate prince by the treason and perfidy of his brother, the reigning bashaw, was driven from his throne, an exile to the regency of Tunis; where the agents of the United States in the Mediterranean, found him; and as early as August 1801, entered into a convention to co-operate with him, the object of which was to obtain a permanent peace with Tripoli, to place the ex-bashaw on the throne, and procure indemnification for all the expenses for accomplishing the same. This agreement was renewed in November following, with encouragement that the United States would persevere, until they had effected the object; and in 1802, when the reigning bashaw had made overtures to the ex-bashaw to settle on him the two provinces of Derne & Benghazi, and when the ex-bashaw was on the point of leaving Tunis, under an escort furnished him by the reigning bashaw, the agents of the United States prevailed on him to aban-

don the offer, with assurance that the U. S. would effectually co-operate, and place him on the throne of Tripoli.
The same engagements were renewed in 1803, and the plan of co-operation so arranged, that the ex-bashaw by his own exertions and force, took possession of the province of Derne; but the American squadron, at that time under the command of commodore Morris, instead of improving that favourable moment, to co-operate with the ex-bashaw, and to put an end to the war, unfortunately abandoned the coast, and left the ex-bashaw to contend solely with all the force of the reigning bashaw, and who in consequence was obliged, in the fore part of the year 1804, to give up his conquest of Derne, and fly from the fury of the usurper into Egypt. These transactions were from time to time, not only communicated by our agents to government, but were laid before congress in February 1804, in the documents accompanying the report of the committee of claims on the petition of Mr. Eaton, late consul at Tunis, which committee expressed their decided approbation of his official conduct, and to which report the committee beg leave to refer.
In full possession of the knowledge of these facts, the government of the United States, in June 1804, dispatched commodore Barron, with a squadron into the Mediterranean, and in his instructions, submitted to his entire discretion, the subject of availing himself of the co-operation of the ex-bashaw, and referring him to Mr. Eaton, as an agent sent out by government for that purpose.
After commodore Barron had arrived on the station in September 1804, he dispatched Mr. Eaton & capt. Hull into Egypt, to find the ex-bashaw, with instructions to assure him that the commodore would take the most effectual measures with the forces under his command, to co-operate with him against the usurper, his brother, and to establish him in the regency of Tripoli. After encountering many difficulties & dangers, the ex-bashaw was found in Upper Egypt, with the Mamelukes, and commanding the Arabs; the same assurances were again made to him, and a convention was reduced to writing, the stipulations of which had the same objects in view; the U. S. to obtain a permanent peace and their prisoners, the ex-bashaw to obtain his throne. Under these impressions, and with the fullest confidence in the assurances he had received from the agents of the U. States, and even from commodore Barron himself, by one of his (the bashaw's) secretaries, whom he had sent to wait on the commodore for that purpose, he gave up his prospects in Egypt, abandoned his property in that country, constituted Mr. Eaton general and commander in chief of his forces, and with such an army as he was able to raise and support, marched through the Libyan desert, suffering every hardship incident to such a perilous undertaking; and with his army commanded by general Eaton, aided by O'Bannon and Mann, three American officers, who shared with him the dangers and hardships of the campaign, and whose names their country will forever record with honour, attacked the city of Derne in the regency of Tripoli, on the 27th day of April 1805, and after a well fought battle took the same; and for the first time, planted the American colors on the ramparts of a Tripolitan fort. And in several battles afterwards, one of which he fought without the aid of the Americans, (they having been restrained by orders, not warranted by any policy, issued as appears by Mr. Lear, the American consul,) defeated the army of the usurper, with great slaughter, maintained his conquest, and without the hazard of a repulse, would have marched to the throne of Tripoli, had he been supported by the co-operation of the American squadron, which in honour and good faith he had a right to expect. The committee would here explicitly declare, that in their opinion, no blame ought to attach to commodore Barron, a waiting sickness, and consequent mental and bodily debility, had rendered him totally unable to exercise the duties of commanding the squadron, previous to this momentous crisis, and from which he has never recovered; and to this cause alone may be attributed the final failure of the plan of co-operation which appears to have been wisely concerted by the government, and hitherto bravely executed by its officers.
But however unpleasant the task, the committee are compelled by the obligations of truth & justice to state
further, that Mr. Lear, to whom was entrusted the power of negotiating the peace, appears to have gained a complete ascendancy over the commodore, thus debilitated by sickness; or rather, having assumed the command, in the name of the commodore,* to have dictated every measure; to have paralyzed every military operation by sea and land; and finally, without displaying the fleet or squadron before Tripoli, without consulting even the safety of the ex-bashaw or his army, against the opinion of all the officers of the fleet, so far as the committee have been able to obtain the same, and of commodore Rodgers (as appears from Mr. Lear's letter to the secretary of state, dated Syracuse harbor, July 5th, 1805,) to have entered into a convention with the reigning bashaw, by which, contrary to his instructions, he stipulated to pay 60 thousand dollars, to abandon the ex-bashaw, and to withdraw all aid and assistance from his army. And although a stipulation was made that the wife and children of the ex-bashaw should be delivered to him on his withdrawing from the territories of Tripoli, yet that stipulation has not been carried into execution, and it is highly probable was never intended to be. The committee forbear to make any comment on the impropriety of the orders issued to gen. Eaton to evacuate Derne, five days previous to Mr. Lear's sailing from Malta to Tripoli, to enter on his negotiation, and the honour of the nation forbids any remarks on the unworthy attempt to compel the ex-bashaw and gen. Eaton, to give up and abandon their conquest, by withholding supplies from the army at Derne, eight days previous to the commencement of the negotiation; nor will the committee condescend to enter into a consideration of pretended reasons, assigned by Mr. Lear to palliate his management of the affairs of the negotiation; such as, "the danger of the American prisoners in Tripoli, the unfitness of the ships for service, and the want of means to prosecute the war;"—they appear to the committee to have no foundation in fact, and are used rather as a veil to cover an inglorious deed, than solid reasons to justify the negotiator's conduct. The committee are free to say, that, in their opinion, it was in the power of the United States, with the force then employed, and a small portion of the 60,000 dollars, thus improperly expended, to have placed Hamet Caramalli, the rightful sovereign of Tripoli, on his throne; to have obtained their prisoners in perfect safety, without the payment of a cent, with assurance, and probable certainty, of eventual remuneration for all expense; and to have established a peace with the Barbary powers, that would have been secure and permanent, and which would have dignified the name and character of the American people.
Whatever Hamet, the ex-bashaw may have said, in his letter of June 29, 1805, to palliate the conduct which first abandoned and then ruined him, the senate cannot fail to discern that he was then at Syracuse in a country of strangers to his merits, and hostile to his nation and religion, and where every circumstance conspired to depress him, which, together with the fear of starving, left him scarcely a moral agent.
Upon these facts, and to carry into effect the principles of duty arising out of them, the only remuneration now left in the power of the U. S. to make, the committee here-with present a bill for the consideration of the senate. The committee are confident that the legislature of a free and christian country, can never leave it in the power of a Mahometan, to say, that they violate their faith, or withhold the operations of justice from one who has fallen a victim to his unbounded confidence in their integrity and honour.
* Extract of a letter from capt. Dent. "It was generally believed by the officers in the Mediterranean, that Mr. Lear had a great ascendancy over the commodore in all his measures relative to the squadron, and from frequent observations of Mr. Lear's intimacy with the commodore during his debilitated state, I am of the same opinion."
"You will pardon me if I here introduce a circumstance evincive of the spirit of our countrymen. At breakfast this morning, commodore Rodgers observed that if the bashaw would consent to deliver up our countrymen without making peace, he would engage to give him two hundred thousand instead of sixty thousand dollars, and raise the difference between the two sums from the officers of the navy, who he was perfectly assured would contribute to it with the highest satisfaction."
Extract of a letter from commodore Rodgers. "I never thought the prisoners were in danger."
Extract of a letter from lieut. Wormeley, then a prisoner in Tripoli. "I do not believe that there was any danger to be apprehended for our lives, even if gen. Eaton and Hamet Bashaw had been marched under the walls of Tripoli."

LEXINGTON, APRIL 30.
Since the first of the present month the times of arrival of the Eastern mail at this place have been on Mondays and Saturdays. Owing to this change, many of our subscribers have received their papers irregularly. On the first of May the arrangement of carrying the mail in the stage is to take place; and should the times of arrival not be altered by that arrangement, we shall change our days of publication to Tuesdays and Saturdays, to accommodate those who receive papers by the mails.
Many of our readers having expressed a desire to see Mr. Randolph's speech on Mr. Gregg's resolutions, we shall commence its publication in our next, unless some important matter should claim a preference. We have wished to give all the debates on those resolutions, but their great length has hitherto precluded their insertion; perhaps we may yet find room for the most interesting parts.
The report of the committee of the Senate on the application of the ex-bashaw, speaks in plain language of the conduct of Mr. Lear.
The Baltimore Federal Gazette says, "A letter of recent date from Bordeaux is received in town, stating that Bonaparte, unable to coax the king of Prussia into an acquiescence in his demands, had put himself again at the head of his armies, to force his mandates; and that Prussia, in conjunction with Russia and the northern powers, had determined to seek safety and take counsel only from their courage and desperation."
A bill is at present before the senate of the United States, which provides for the emission of two new and additional coins—the one to be called a double-disme, to be composed of silver, value 20 cents; the other two-cent pieces, one fieces, one fiftieth part of a dollar, to be composed of a mixture of silver and copper.
[Aurora.] Captain Cripman arrived at Salem, informs that the Algerines were out of the Straits, and had taken three Portuguese ships, two of which were laid to be Brazilian. An Algerine frigate was cruising off Madeira. The Portuguese were fitting out three frigates to restrain their depredations. (Bali. E. P.)
The Emperor of the French, at the time of leaving Vienna, published the following proclamation:
"Inhabitants of Vienna—I have signed a peace with the emperor of Austria. As I am about to return to my capital, I must express to you the esteem I entertain for you, and the satisfaction I have felt at your conduct during the time you were under my laws. I have given you an example which hitherto has no parallel in the history of nations:—Ten thousand men of your national guards have remained armed, and have guarded your gates; your whole arsenal has continued in your power; while I have followed the uncertain fortune of war. I have trusted to your honour, your sincerity, your integrity, and you have justified my confidence."
"Inhabitants of Vienna, I know that you consider that war as blameable which a minister devoted to a foreign power has kindled on the continent. Your sovereign is informed of the conduct of that minister; he has in consequence acted entirely according to the great qualities which distinguished him; and I hope hereafter happier days will arise for you and the continent."
"Inhabitants of Vienna, I have shown my self but little among you, not from contempt or vain pride; not but that it might diminish the feelings of esteem for that monarch with whom I was desirous to conclude a ready peace.—As I am now about to leave you, receive from me as a present, your arsenal untouched, which by the laws of war, had become my property; make use of it for the maintenance of good order. All the evils you have suffered you must ascribe to the calamities inseparable from war, and every kind of indulgence with which my armies have treated these countries, to the esteem which you have deserved."
(Signed) NAPOLEON. "By order of the Emperor, Major-Gen. Marshal Berthier."
PARIS, Dec. 30. Tribune—Extraordinary sitting of December 31. M. Carrion Nis presented the following project:
"The French people congregate, in a national temple the monuments and the trophies of the day of Austerlitz, and of the campaign terminated by that victory."
"When a general peace shall take place the sword worn by Napoleon I. in that battle, shall be deposited with religious, civil, and military pomp in this temple, to be henceforward taken from thence with the same pomp by the Emperor of the French, every time he places himself at the head of his troops, and to be replaced with the same ceremonies after victory and peace."
"In this temple shall be inscribed in bas relief and in bronze, the names of all the general and superior officers who commanded in it; of all the divisions which compose it; of those brave men who perished during the campaign; of all those who received marks of honor; and the names of the members of the great bodies of the state at the epoch when this vote shall be adopted. These tables shall be spread over the whole surface of the empire, and placed in the principle church of the chief place of each department."
"In every year the 23th of August the anniversary of the birth of Napoleon the Great, the saviour of France and of Europe, shall be throughout the Empire a day of grand, religious, civil and military solemnity."
"At this solemnity, in every department, there shall be read publicly the names of all the conscripted who shall be under the colours, the recital of their heroic actions, and the testimony to their relations of the satisfaction of their country—There shall be also read the names of those who shall not have regained their colours, they shall be declared dead to honor, and the affliction of their country shall be testified to their relations."
"Every three years this solemnity shall assume the name of the Grand European Fête. Solemn games shall be celebrated in honor of Napoleon I. the Saviour of Europe, at which grand prizes shall be distributed in all the arts to all descriptions of talent in all the sciences, and to every virtue which honors civilized Europe. The emperor of the French shall preside over this Fête, from whom shall the men shall receive their prizes—the women from the hand of the Empress. All the foreign ambassadors shall be invited to this ceremony—all the people of the continent of Europe shall be admitted at this assemblage."

BLUE DYING TO PERFECTION!
I WILL colour cotton, linen or woolen, with a hot dye, and will warrant it to keep its colour—and because of the scarcity of cash, I have made my arrangements so as to enable me to take for pay, the following articles:—corn, flour, meal, bacon, hemp, flax, country linen, and a variety of other articles. 'Tis hoped no one will ask credit, as I shall keep no book, it will be necessary payment should be made when the truck is taken away. HUGH CRAWFORD, Main street, corner of Main & Fleet.

TO SOAR ALOFT ON FANCY'S WING.  ON THE DEATH OF LORD NELSON  By The Hon. C. F. Fox.  IN Death's terrific icy arms The brave illustrious Nelson lies: He's free from care and war's alarms, Sees not our tears, nor hears our sighs.  Cold is the heart where valor reign'd, Mute is the tongue that joy inspir'd Still is the arm that conquest gain'd, And dim the eye that glory fir'd.  Too mean for him a world like this! He's landed on the happy shore, Where all the world partake of bliss, And heroes meet to part no more.  TRIFLES LIGHT AS AIR.
Property of Drunkards,  Our laws very wisely and justly provide for the safe keeping of the property of idiots and lunatics, that they may not waste their substance, impoverish their families, and become chargeable upon the public. But drunkards, those worth of idiots, and wildcat of lunatics, may squander their property, bring their families to beggary, and themselves to the town—without any effort on the part of the public to prevent it. I am told that in some parts of New-England, they have laws authorizing commissioners to be appointed, upon certain proof being made that any man is habitually drunken, and dissipates his property, in such away that he and his family are likely to be brought to want, to take charge of his property, to improve it to the best possible manner, and to maintain him and his family out of the proceeds. Such a law, though some objections may be raised against it, would, I think, be of great service to society. At least the subject may be worthy the consideration of the people and of their Representatives.  (Trenton True American)

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

Attested notes for forty dollars insurance, and thirty for the season will be expected with the mares—good and extensive pastures, well watered and under good fence are provided, and will be furnished gratis to all mares sent from a distance; and the greatest care and attention will be paid by Mr. Sourbray, but cannot be accountable for accidents or escapes.  JOHN W. HUNT.  Lexington April 1st, 1806
ARRA KOOKER is a beautiful bay, with black legs, mane, and tail; full sixteen hands high, and for figure, strength, elegance, movement and bone, is surpassed by no horse on the continent—As to his colts must refer you to Maj. James Heard of Winchester, Virginia, who is at present in this place, and to Mr. Robert Barr, who lives near this place, and whose certificates are annexed to this advertisement.  I DO hereby certify, that I have bred a colt by ARRA KOOKER, and think it extremely large and elegant, with remarkable fine limbs—The appearance of it has induced me to enter it in a sweep stake of 500 dollars—Likewise have seen a considerable number, which are promising—He is supposed to be a sure foal getter. Given under my hand this 10th day of April, 1806.  James Heard.  Teste, Danl. Bradford.  I do certify that whilst I was in New-Town, in the Fall and Winter of 1803, I saw several of ARRA KOOKER's colts, they were rising 2 and three years old, they promised to be very fine, and during my stay in that part of the country, I visited Penny-Town, in New-Jersey, where ARRA KOOKER had stood, and general report spoke highly of him as a sure and good foal getter.  Robert Barr.  Lexington March 26th, 1806.
ARRA KOOKER was imported from England by Dr. Tate, 1798. Is a beautiful bay, with black legs, mane and tail; full sixteen hands high; a lofty elegant figure, with a great proportion of bone & strength and moves well; he is from the pure turf blood, he is from the best line of horses in England.  ARRA KOOKER was got by the celebrated running horse Drono (who won 25 Kings plates, Jockey club plates, and matches, to the amount of 5000 guineas) his grand sire was Herod, out of Lilly; his great grand sire was Blank, the sire of Eclipse;—his dam was Mr. Dods worth's Chawdown mare, by Chawdown, a son of Blank's, (dam of Abba Thule) his grand dam by Engineer, his great grand dam by Wilson's Arabian, his great grand grand dam by Hutton's Spot, his great grand grand grand dam by Crab, Bay Bolton, Curwin's Barb, Spot White legg'd Lather barb, &c. &c.  ARRA KOOKER when three years old won a sweep stake of 100 guineas, two miles, five horses started at New-Castle on Tine and 50 guineas Northallerton; at four years old he walked over the course for 100 guineas at New-Castle on Tine—no four year old would enter against him the four mile heats, (you may in the racing caller see) in consequence of an injury in his leg, received in running, he was taken out of training; but of which he is now perfectly recovered and free from blemish.  I certify that the bright bay horse Arra Kooker, this day sold by me to Dr. James Tate, of Philadelphia, North America; was bred by Matthew Dods worth, Esq. of C.ake Hall Yorkshire; that he was got by the running horse Drono out of Abba Thule's dam, for whose pedigree reference may be had to the Stud Book, &c. &c. Given under my hand and seal, at the city of York, this 25th day of August, 1797.  A true copy from the original. Conyers Norton.  THE bay horse, Arra Kooker, by Drono out of my Chawdown gray mare, (the dam of Abba Thule) was bred by me, is no more than eight years old last grass. Witness my hand this 26th day of August, 1797.

IMPORTANT.  TO all those who wish either to become citizens or to hold lands in that delightful country south of Green river. The subscriber being inclined to remove to Tennessee, offers for sale, the plantation on which he now resides, together with six thousand acres of land, situated on both sides of Red river, and Big Whippoorwill, including several fine mill seats, and as valuable a body of timber as any on Red river; surrounded by barrens, some of which are equal in quality to any in Logan county; about 90 acres of cleared land, under good fence; a small apple orchard of the best fruit, a peach and cherry orchard, all in full perfection. On the premises is a large and elegant two story Brick House, entirely new, together with other necessary buildings. In point of health and beauty, this situation perhaps is exceeded by none in the state of Kentucky. The plantations lay one on the north, the other on the south side of the river, a little below where the two forks unite, and just opposite the confluence of Big Whippoorwill. Those streams afford water sufficient (the river in particular,) all the year to support a merchant and saw mill. A considerable quantity of the timbered land is fine rich bottom.  The subscriber has also for sale sundry other tracts of land in Logan county, and likewise in Christian county, 1 tract in Livingston county, and one on Cumberland river, Stewart county, (state of Tennessee;) he has in one complete tract, in Christian 15,000 acres, equal perhaps in value, to any tract in that county. It is situated on the main source of Little river, including several miles on both sides of the river, and including some fine mill seats, (this river is a never failing fountain) it is situated in part about four miles below the court house, and extends from thence southwardly down the main river and the Sinking fork of said river, the distance of five miles (or more perhaps.) The subscriber has also another tract of Land, lying on the South side of Little River, about eight or ten miles from Cumberland River, consisting of 7800 acres, part well timbered, the remainder good level barrens. This and the other last mentioned tract, has a number of fine springs on them, and are both well calculated to form a settlement for a number of families. The former is sufficient to make a settlement for 20 families; the latter is sufficient to make 8 or 10 farms, and good settlements. The subscriber has for sale, sundry other smaller tracts in Christian, or any of which, he will sell upon terms perhaps more moderate than any such lands have been sold for many years past. [The summer range in all this country, is equal to any in the universe] Indispensible titles will be made to the purchasers. For terms and further information, apply to the subscriber at his plantation, about 12 miles South of Russellville. Letters addressed to the subscriber, [post paid] and left in the post-office at Russellville, will be duly attended to, and answered through the medium of the mail. If part of the purchase money be paid in advance, a considerable indulgence will be given for the remainder.  BEVERLY A. ALLEN.  March 23, 1806. 2m
