The imported Stallion Speculator,
WILL stand the ensuing season, which will commence the 1st day of March, and end the first day of August next, at the farm of John Breckinridge, esq. near Lexington, in Kentucky, and may cover mares at ten dollars the leap, to be paid at the stable door; twenty-four dollars the season, to be discharged any time before the first day of August, by the payment of twenty dollars; and forty dollars to entitle a mare to be with foal to be returned if such should not be the case, if the mare remains the property of the person who put her to the horse; with one dollar to the groom in every instance. Attested notes for the season, and insurance to be sent with the mares. SPECULATOR Is now rising nine years old, is a very handsome horse, near sixteen hands high, a fine bay with as many good running points as any horse on the continent, and is well calculated to get either excellent race, saddle or carriage horses; and has established himself to be a most capital stallion, as may be seen by his colts, which are now rising one year old—his blood is unexceptionable, and of the purest kind, as may be seen by his PEDIGREE.
PEDIGREE. SPECULATOR was bred by the Duke of Bedford, and got by his favorite stallion Dragon, (now in Virginia, and covered 145 mares last season, at ten guineas per mare) who was son to Woodpecker, his dam by King Herod, a fitter to Florizel, Bourdeaux, and Stings, and the dam of Portia, Narcissa, Jessica, and Tarantula; his grand dam by Cysnet, who was got by the Godolphin Arabian; his great grand dam by Cartouch, a very capital stallion; his great great grand dam Ebony, by Childers, out of old Ebony, by Basso, who was got by the Byerly Turk, out of Bay Peg, by the Leed's Arabian.
PERFORMANCES. SPECULATOR has been a capital running horse—In 1798 he won once, being the only time on the turf that year—in 1799, being then four years old, at the New-Market Craven meetings, he beat Mr. Watson's Young Magpie, for 100 guineas—at New-Market second spring meeting, he beat Lord Sackville's famous horse Sober Robin, for 50 guineas—at the same meeting he won a handicap plate, of 50 guineas each, beating six good horses, among which was the celebrated horse Aimator; the same day he received 41-2 guineas forfeit from Mr. Heathcote's Opposition—at the July New Market meeting he beat Mr. Cullen's Young Spear, for 100 guineas, 7 to 4 on Speculator; at Brighton he won a handicap plate (the new course) 50 guineas each, beating Combatant, Ascot, Mr. Wyndham's horse by Fidget, Cypress, Sifter, Midnight, Play or Pay, and Opposition; at New-Market first October meeting, he walked over for a sweep stake of 50 guineas each, Bollenamuck and Combatant fearing to run against him, paid him a forfeit; at the second October meeting he beat Mr. Wyndham's horse by Fidget, for 50 guineas, 5 and 6 to 4 on Speculator; making eight times he won this year, which is oftener than any other horse won in said year, and came in second, for a handicap plate of 50 guineas each, beating eight good horses, although he carried 7lb more than any horse that started; in 1800 then 5 years old, at New-Market Craven meetings, he beat Mr. Hayworth's Filbert for 100 guineas carrying him 7lbs. at the same meeting he won the great Oatland stakes of 50 guineas each (26 subscribers) beating Expedition, Wrangler, Herby-Lass, Stamford, Telegraph, Antrim, and Vandall; all good horses—at the first New-Market spring meeting, he won a sweep stake of 50 guineas each (4 subscribers) carrying 12 stone 2lbs. (170lbs.) beating Lord Burford's Waymoth, with great ease, 7 to 4 on Speculator; at the second spring meeting, he received forfeit of 130 guineas from the Duke of Queensbury's chestnut horse Eggleham, carrying him 4 lbs. It must be observed, that the great Oatland stakes is considered among the first races in England; at the end of 1800 he was taken with the distemper which put an end to his racing; and was then purchased of the Prince of Wales for me; and imported from London last fall. The above pedigree and performances of Speculator, are taken from the general studbook and racing callenders of England; the authority of which has never yet been called in question, and they are always referred to as authentic records upon those subjects.
JOHN HOOMES
Bowling Green, Virginia. The above horse was at our request sent by John Hoomes esq. to this state, & will stand the ensuing season on the plantation of John Breckinridge, on North Elkhorn, where very extensive and excellent blue grass pasture, well enclosed and well watered, will be furnished to mares coming at a distance, gratis. The greatest care will be taken of the mares, and corn furnished if required, at the market price; but we will not be liable for escapes or accidents. Mr. Hoomes has been in the practice of many years, of importing from England, the finest horses which that country produces; and from his character, and our acquaintance with him, the most implicit reliance can be placed in any certificate he gives. Any person putting seven mares, and becoming responsible, gets one gratis; if the horse stands in the state, and continues the present owner's, those mares that do not prove in foal, has the next year gratis, except the groom's fee.

BY AUTHORITY.
AN ACT
Making provision for the disposal of the public lands in the Indiana Territory, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That the powers vested by law in the surveyor general, shall extend over all the public lands of the United States to which the Indian title has been or shall hereafter be extinguished, north of the river Ohio, and east of the river Mississippi; and it shall be the duty of the said surveyor general, to cause the said lands to be surveyed into townships six miles square, and divided in the same manner, and under the same regulations, and to do and perform all such other acts in relation to the said lands, as is provided by law in relation to the lands of the United States, situate north west of the river Ohio and above the mouth of Kentucky river: Provided, That the whole expense of surveying and marking the lines shall not exceed three dollars for every mile that shall be actually run, surveyed and marked: And provided also, That such tracts of land as are lawfully claimed by individuals within the said boundaries, and the title thereto has been or shall be recognized by the United States, shall be laid out and surveyed at the expense of the parties respectively, in conformity with the true boundaries of such tracts. And it shall also be the duty of the said surveyor general to cause to be run, surveyed and marked, such of the Indian boundary lines of the said lands as have not yet been surveyed; and with the approbation of the President of the United States, to ascertain, by astronomical observations, the positions of such places north of the river Ohio, and east of the river Mississippi, as may be deemed necessary for the correctness of the surveys, and to be the most important points of the geography of the country.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That for the disposal of the lands of the United States north of the river Ohio, and east of the river Mississippi, in the Indiana territory, three land offices shall be established in the same, one at Detroit for the lands lying north of the State of Ohio, to which the Indian title has been extinguished; one at Vincennes for the lands to which the Indian title has been extinguished, and which are included within the boundaries fixed by the treaty lately held with the Indian tribes of the Wabash; and one at Kaskaskia, for so much of the lands included within the boundaries fixed by the treaty of the thirteenth of August, one thousand eight hundred and three, with the Kaskaskia tribe of Indians, as is not claimed by any other Indian tribe; and for each of the said offices a register and receiver of public monies shall be appointed, who shall give security in the same manner, in the same sums, and whose compensation, emoluments, and duties, and authority, shall, in every respect, be the same in relation to the lands which shall be disposed of at their offices, as are or may be by law provided, in relation to the registers and receivers of public monies in the several offices established for the disposal of the lands of the United States north of the river Ohio, and above the mouth of Kentucky river.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That every person claiming lands within any of the three tracts of land described in the preceding section, by virtue of any legal grant made by the French government prior to the treaty of Paris, of the tenth of February, one thousand seven hundred and sixty three, or of any legal grant made by the British government, subsequent to the said treaty, and prior to the treaty of peace between the United States and Great Britain, of the third of September, one thousand seven hundred and eighty three, or of any resolution, or act of Congress, subsequent to the said treaty of peace, shall, on or before the first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and five, deliver to the register of the land office, within whose district the land may lie, a notice in writing, stating the nature and extent of his claims, together with a plot of the tract or tracts claimed, and may also, on or before that day, deliver to the said register, for the purpose of being recorded, every grant, order of survey, deed, conveyance, or other written evidence of his claim; and the same shall be recorded by the said register, in books to be kept for that purpose, on receiving from the parties at the rate of twelve and a half cents, for every hundred words contained in such written evidence of their claim; and if such person shall neglect to deliver such notice, in writing, of his claim, or to cause to be recorded such written evidence of the same, all his right so far as the same is derived from any resolution of act of Congress, shall become void, and forever be barred.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That the register and receiver of public monies, of the three above mentioned land offices shall, for the lands respectively lying within their districts, be commissioners for the purpose of examining the claims of persons claiming lands by virtue of the preceding sections. Each of the said commissioners shall, previous
to entering on the duties of his appointment, respectively, take and subscribe the following oath or affirmation, before some person qualified to administer the same: "I, [blank] solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will impartially exercise and discharge the duties imposed upon me, as commissioner for examining the claims to land, by an act of Congress, entitled, "An act making provision for the disposal of the public lands in the Indiana territory, and for other purposes."
It shall be the duty of the said commissioners to meet at the places where the said land offices are by this act established, respectively, on or before the first day of January one thousand eight hundred and five; and each board shall, in their respective districts, have power to hear in a summary manner all matters respecting such claims; also to compel the attendance of witnesses, to administer oaths, and examine witnesses, and such other testimony as may be produced, and to decide thereon according to justice and equity, which decision shall be laid before Congress in the manner herein after directed, and be subject to their decision thereon. The said boards, respectively, shall have power to appoint a clerk, whose duty it shall be to enter in a book to be kept for that purpose, full and correct minutes of their proceedings, and decisions, together with the evidence on which such decisions are made; which books and papers, on the dissolution of the boards, shall be deposited in the respective offices of the registers of the land offices; and the said clerk shall prepare two transcripts of all the decisions made by the said commissioners in favor of the claimants to land, both of which shall be signed by the said commissioners, and one of which shall be transmitted to the surveyor general, and the other to the secretary of the treasury; and the lands, the claims to which shall have been thus affirmed by the commissioners, shall not be otherwise disposed of until the decision of Congress thereupon shall have been made. It shall likewise be the duty of the said commissioners to make to the secretary of the treasury a full report of all the claims filed with the register of the proper land office, as above directed, which they may have rejected, together with the substance of the evidence, adduced in support thereof, and such remarks thereon as they may think proper; which reports, together with the transcripts of the decisions of the commissioners in favour of claimants, shall be laid by the secretary of the treasury before Congress at their next ensuing session. Each of the commissioners and clerks aforesaid, shall be allowed a compensation of five hundred dollars in full for his services as such; and each of the said clerks shall, previous to his entering on the duties of his office, take and subscribe the following oath or affirmation, to wit: "I, [blank] do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will truly and faithfully discharge the duties of a clerk to the board of commissioners for examining the claims to land, as enjoined by an act of Congress, entitled "An act making provision for the disposal of the public lands in the Indiana territory, and for other purposes."
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That all the lands aforesaid, not excepted by virtue of the preceding section, shall, with the exception of the section "number sixteen," which shall be reserved in each township for the support of schools within the same, with the exception also of an entire township in each of the three above described tracts of country or districts, to be located by the secretary of the treasury, for the use of a seminary of learning, and with the exception also of the salt springs and lands reserved for the use of the same as herein after directed, be offered for sale to the highest bidder, under the direction of the surveyor general or governor of the Indiana territory, or the register of the land office, and of the receiver of public monies, at the places respectively, where the land offices are kept, and on such day or days as shall, by a public proclamation of the President of the United States, be designated for that purpose. The sales shall remain open at each place for three weeks and no longer: the lands shall not be sold for less than two dollars an acre, and shall in every other respect be sold in tracts of the same size and on the same terms and conditions, as have been or may be by law provided for the lands sold north of the river Ohio and above the mouth of Kentucky river. All lands, other than the reserved sections and those excepted as above mentioned, remaining unsold at the closing of the public sales, may be disposed of at private sale, by the registers of the respective land offices in the same manner, under the same regulations, for the same price, and on the same terms and conditions, as are or may be provided by law for the sale of the lands of the United States north of the river Ohio and above the mouth of Kentucky river. And patents shall be obtained for all lands granted or sold in the Indiana territory, in the same manner and on the same terms as is or may be provided by law for lands sold in the State of Ohio, and in the Mississippi territory.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That all the navigable rivers, creeks, and waters, within the Indiana territory, shall be deemed to be and remain public highways; and the several salt springs in the said territory, together with as
many contiguous sections to each, as shall be deemed necessary by the President of the United States, shall be reserved for the future disposal of the United States: And any grant which may hereafter be made for any tract of land, containing a salt spring which had been discovered previous to the purchase of such tract from the United States, shall be considered as fraudulent and null.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That the several provisions made in favor of persons who have contracted for lands with John Cleves Symmes and his associates, by an act intitled "An act to extend and continue in force the provisions of an act intitled "An act giving a right of pre-emption to certain persons, who have contracted with John Cleves Symmes or his associates, for lands lying between the Miami rivers, in the territory north west of the Ohio, and for other purposes," shall be and the same are hereby continued in force until the first day of June next: Provided, That the register of the land office and receiver of public monies at Cincinnati shall perform the same duties, exercise the same powers, and enjoy the same emoluments, which, by the last recited act were enjoined on or vested in the commissioners designated by the said act: And provided also, that no certificate of a right of pre-emption shall be granted, except in favor of persons who had, before the first day of January, one thousand eight hundred, made contracts in writing with John Cleves Symmes or with any of his associates, and who had made to him or them any payment or payments of money for the purchase of such lands; nor until at least one twentieth part of the purchase money of the land claimed, shall have previously been paid to the receiver of public monies, or shall be paid prior to the first day of January next. And every person who shall obtain a certificate of pre-emption, shall be allowed until the first day of January one thousand eight hundred and six, to complete the payment of the first installment: Provided also, That where any person or persons shall in virtue of a contract entered into with John Cleves Symmes, have entered and made improvements on any section or half section prior to the first day of April last (having conformed with all the foregoing provisions in this section) which improvements, by the running of the lines subsequently thereto shall have fallen within any section or half section other than the one purchased as aforesaid, and other than section number sixteen, such section or half section shall in that case be granted to the person or persons who shall have so entered, improved, and cultivated the same, on payment of the purchase money agreeably to the provisions made by law for lands sold at private sale; but nothing herein contained shall be construed to give to any such person or persons a greater number of acres than he or they had contracted for with John Cleves Symmes, as aforesaid.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted, That every person who may have heretofore obtained from the commissioners, a certificate of a right of pre-emption for lands lying between the two Miami rivers, on account of contracts with or purchase from John Cleves Symmes or his associates, and who has paid his first installment; and every person who may obtain a similar certificate, by virtue of the preceding section, and shall, on or before the first day of January one thousand eight hundred and six, pay his first installment, be permitted to pay the residue of the purchase money in six annual equal payments.

LIBERTY OR DEATH
Proclamation.
Jean Jaques Dessalines, Governor General to the inhabitants of the Spanish port. SCARCE had the French army been expelled, when you hastened to acknowledge my authority; by a free and spontaneous movement of your hearts, you arranged yourselves under my subjection. More careful of the prosperity than the union of that part which you inhabit, I have given to this homage a favorable reception. From that moment, I have considered you as my children, and my fidelity to you remains undiminished. As a proof of my paternal solicitude within the places which have submitted to my power, I have proposed for Chiefs, none but men chosen from among yourselves. Jealous of counting you in the rank of my friends, that I might give you all the time necessary for recollection, and that I might assure myself of your fidelity, I have hitherto refrained the burning ardor of my soldiers. Already I congratulate myself on the success of my solicitude which had for its object to prevent the effusion of blood; but at this time, a fanatic priest had not kindled in your breasts the rage which predominates therein; the incensed Ferrand had not yet instilled into you the poison of falsehood and calumny. Writings originating in despair and weakness, have been circulated, and immediately many amongst you, seduced by perfidious insinuations, solicited the friendship and protection of the French—they dared to outrage my kindness, by coalescing with my cruel enemies Spaniards! reflect! On the brink of a precipice which is dug under your feet, will that diabolical Minister save you, when, with fire and sword I shall have pursued you to your last entrenchment? Ah! without doubt, his prayers, his grimaces, his relics, would be no impediment to my career. Vain as powerless, can he preserve you from my just anger, after I shall have buried him and the collection of Brigands he commands under the ruins of your captain?
Let them both recollect that it is before my intrepid phalanxes that all the resources and skill of Europeans have proved ineffectual: and that in my victorious hands the destiny of the Captain General, Rochambeau, has been surrendered. To lure the Spaniards to their party, they propagate the report that vessels with troops have arrived at Santo Domingo. Why is it not the truth? They little imagine that in delaying to attack them until this time, my principal object has been to suffer them to increase the mass of our resources and the number of our vic-
tims. To spread distress and terror, incessantly dwell upon the fate which the French have just experienced (the massacre) but, have I not had reason to treat them so?—The wrongs of the French, do they appertain to the Spaniards? and must I visit on the latter the crimes which the former have conceived, ordered and executed upon our species? They have the effrontery to say, that, reduced to seek safety in flight, I am gone to conceal my defeat in the southern part of the island. Well, then! let them learn that I am ready, and that the thunderbolt is going to fall upon their heads.—Let them know that my soldiers are impatiently waiting for the signal to go and re-conquer the boundaries which nature and the elements have assigned to us. A few moments more, and I shall crush the remnant of the French under the weight of my mighty power.
Spaniards! you to whom I address myself, solely because I wish to save you; you who for having been guilty of evasion, shall speedily preserve your existence only so far as my clemency may deign to spare you—it is yet time! abjure an error which may be fatal to you, and break off all connection with my enemy, if you with your blood may not be confounded with his. Name to me without delay that part of your territory on which my first blow is to be struck, or inform me whether I must strike on all points without discrimination. I give you fifteen days from the date of this notification, to forward your last intentions, and to rally under my banners. You are not ignorant that all the roads of St. Domingo, in every direction, are familiar to us; that more than once we have seen your dispersed band fly before us. In a word, you know what I can do, and what I dare; think of your preservation!
Receive here the sacred promise which I make, not to do any thing against your personal safety, or your interest, if you seize upon this occasion to shew yourselves worthy of being admitted amongst the children of Hayti.

TO SOAR ALOFT ON FANCY'S WING. TIME.
MOV'D by a strange mysterious power, Who hastens along the rapid hour, I touch the deep-ton'd string; E'en now I saw his wither'd face, Beneath yon tower's mould'ring base, Where molly vestments cling.
Dark roll'd his cheerless eye around Severe his grisly visage frown'd, No locks his head array'd; He grasp'd a hero's antique buff, The marble, crumbled into dust, And funk amidst the shade!
Malignant triumph fill'd his eyes, 'See, hapless mortals see,' he cries, 'How vain how little idle schemes; 'Beneath my grasp the fairest form 'Dissolves, and mingles with the worm, 'Thus vanish mortal dreams.'
The works of God and man I spoil The noblest proof of human toil 'I treat as childish toys; 'I crush the noble and the brave, 'Beauty I mar and in the grave 'I bury human joys.'
Hold! ruthless phantom—hold! I cry'd: If thou canst mock the dreams of pride, And meaner hopes devour; VIRTUE, beyond thy reach, shall bloom; When other charms sink to the tomb, She scorns thy envious power.
On frosty wings the demon fled, Howling as o'er the wall he sped, 'Another year is gone! 'The ruin'd spire, the crumbling tower, Nodding obey'd his awful power, As Time flew swiftly on.
Since Beauty then, to Time must bow, And age deform the fairest brow, Let brighter charms be yours; The female mind embalm'd in truth; Shall bloom in everlasting youth, While Time himself endures.
"Trifles light as air."
Two Irishmen fighting together, one of them knocked the other down, and seeing him lie motionless, thought he had killed him; taking him by the hand, he cried, "O my dear Paddy, now be after speaking to me, and if I have killed you tell me money!" To which the other answered—"No, my dear Mac, I aint dead at all; but by my shoul I am speechless!"

WHEREAS I was non-suited by James Hulce and his wife, the 8th day of the worshipsful Circuit Court held for Bourbon county, at the court-house, at the May term 1804, in a suit of slander, which I did not bring within the limited time the law required, after the charge was exhibited against me, by her infamous tongue, so that I can have no recourse at law again; I therefore take this expedient to shew my innocence, and to expose her to the world, in publishing to their view, the slanderous charge she, the said Hulce's wife, has exhibited against me. The charge was, that I was an hermaphrodite, and was guilty of unlawful incest with a woman of good character, in my neighbourhood; and likewise of having bastards in other places. I now not only say the charge is an absolute and arrant falsehood, but prove it to be a wilful and malicious lie, by the following certificate, as it will show it is not consistent with my sex.
Susannah Rogers. Personally appeared before me, the subscriber, a justice of the peace for Bourbon county, Margaret Cook and Ann Whaley, and made oath that the above signed Susannah Rogers, is not an hermaphrodite. Given under my hand, June 7th, 1804.
