In a letter addressed to Mr.. Clay from New
York on the 10th of May last by Mr.. Rhind, this
gentleman says:
"Mr. Bergman requested me to give you some
account fthe Arabian horse STEAMBOAT. which he
purchased on your account at the public sale here

They ara in fact the only genuine Arabs ever
brought to America; and the origin of these is
from source Of such nature stamps the validi-
ty of their character"
In addition to the foregoing, we have obtain
cd the following information respecting the Ara
bian horse and of the tribe of which Stamboul is
member. Tho Arabians reckon six different
breeds; three of them very fine, the others more
common. We shall notice only the three best.
The Djei, Sectaoui and Del Nagdi, (Uegdi of Mr..
Rhind)
"The Djelfi derives its origin from Arabia Fe-
Xix or Yemen. Horses of this breed are rare at
Damascus, but are pretty common among the Arabs
IN the neighborhood of Amaze; they are admira-
bic Tor speed, the true horses for battle very
sprightly, full offre, and never appear f,tioued.
they support hunger and thirst for long time, arc
as mild as lambs. not passionate and they never
oite nor kick 1t is requisite at all times to give
them much exercise and little food. They have
lofty stature Qook,) narrow chest and rather lono
ears This is not the finest breed but il ncontes.
tlby the BEST perfect horse ofthis breed as thew
all are at the age of two and three years. costs at
least 1000 Turkish piastrcs
"Ths Seclaoui comes from the Eastern mart of.
the desert. What l have said concerning the
breed OF Djelie, may apply equally to this; which
differs from the former only in the place of It's er
gin, for the great Conn osseurs can hardly di,tn
guish them; their value is nearly equal; however
the Dolfs is preferred.
"The Del Nagdi (Uegdi, stambouls tribe,)
comes from the neighborhooG of Bassera, and if
it does surpass those of Delfe and Seclaoui it
at least equals them. Horses of this breed are
little known at Damascus, and Connisseurs
assert that they are incompardble--Thus their va
lue is arbitrary, and dtoays exceeds two Thousand
piastres" The foregoing account is extracted
from the celebrated Turkish Traveller Ali Bey,
Vol. Cd, GIG.
STEAMBOAT is beautiful red sorrsl, ID hands 81
inches IN height, said to be the largest in a csm-
Peny OF 1000 Arabians (ses letter from New
York published in the Sporting Magazine, gil
wing an account of the sale)-he is perfectly
doclie, will neither kick bite, possessing in
the estimation of the best judges who have seen
him, bone and sinew sufficient for a horse of 16
hands nigh; his symmetry and beauty cannot be-
e1celled. We present him to the American pehsl
lie under the confident belief that he will proysY
to this country what the Godolphn and barley
Arabians did to Englund,-tbe founder of dis
tinguIshed race. If there be any thing in blood,
breed, tribe or form, the public assured that
