The Celebrated Running Horse ,
GALLATIN,
WILL stand the present sea-;
son at William Lows’ in Columbia
county, fourteen miles above Augusta,:
on Whs main road leading to the town of
Washington, at the reduced price of
THIRTY DOLLARS, payable by note j
the first day if December next, which :
may be discharged fey TWENTY j
DOLLARS paid within the season—
FIFTEEN tire single visit, and one
dollar to the groom in every instance.
The season will commence on the first
day of April, unJ end on the first day
of August. Any mare that does not
prove in son! shall have tire benefit of
the fall season gratis, by applying to
the horse, provided he is not in keeping '
for a race. Excellent wheat and barley .
pastures are provided for the reception j
of mares from a distance, but no res
ponsibility for accidents or escapes.—
Mr. Low will take charge of all mares
that may be left with the horse, and
feed them twice a day with grain for
one shilling per day, and the money ex-!
pected w u-n the mares are taken away,
flood attention will be paid to every
mart in rotation. Servants who may
be left with the charge of mares will be
boarded gratis. GALLATIN is an
elegant figure, full fifteen hands and a
half high, nine years old, a red sorrel
of s ljitrior form and constitution, and
a sure foal getter; his colts have by
good judges been said to be superior,
according to their age, in point of form
and size, to any they ever saw on the
Continent.
PEDIGREE,
Extracted from the General Stud
Book of England , which
cannot be excelled.
G ALLATIN was got by the import
ed Horse Bediord, and he by Dungan
non, whose sire was Eclipse ; his dam
the imported mare Mcmbrino ; his
grand dam Miss Skeggs. by Matchem ;
bis great grand clam by Regulus, out of
King Herod’s clam, and Regulus by the
Godolphin Arabian. To those who are !
thoroughly conversant with the turf, it I
would be superfluous to remark, that j
Bedford undoubtedly contributed more I
to the improvement of the breed of;
horses in this country, than . ny stallion j
ever sent to America. It would be 1
equally unnecessary to enumerate his j
get, suffice it to say, he was the sire of j
Cupbearer, Dungannou, Ariadna, Nan- j
ey Air, Peggy and Lottery. Thus it is j
no wonder that Gallatin, having all his j
■ear crosses from the best storks in j
England, should stand unequaled as a
runner, a# the following testimony will
shew:—Gallatin at Richmond, in Vir
ginia, in October 1802, run a 2 mile
heat in 3 m. 43 s.-—in Fel vuarv 1803,
at Charleston, lie ran a tin re n> „ heat
in 5 in. 53 s—Tvro days after, he ran
the sam« distance in 5. 52 s.

By the arrival of the British sch'r. ;

f«vored with Havjnuab papers to the J
15th instant. Ffojn the difficulty of j
procuring Translations, our extracts
are limited.
In addition to the accounts published
this evening, it is stated, that the Duke
deiSf Infantado, with 25,000 men, was
at Perales, about 4 Jeaguas f.ora Mad
rid, on ’he rdvaiice forth -t city— while
the united British and Spanish armies, j
of 70,000 men, were advancing from !
Burgos. A report i:> prevalent, that the
French had pietiously advanced to Sa
ragossa, where it is said they were de
feated, with the loss of 20,000 men.
We have not, however, lean any thing
to warrant a belief in this rumor.
Madrid was evacuated on the 23d r.f
December. The Spanish accounts say,
that their army had possession of the
celebrated pas* of Someaitrra, the only
road by which the French army could
retreat, and they were very aanguine in
the hope of cutting them off complete

It does not appear that Bonaparte
had more than 30,000 men in Madrid.

HAVANNA, March 13.
Don Juan Domtcq_Dic Victor, a gen
tleman well known iw this city, and
a* remarkable for his probity, as the
public situation ho holds, lias received
a letter from his brother Don Josef ;
Victor, an inhabitant of ths city of I
Xeres do la Frohtcra, of the following j
tenor:
Xer ft, 391A December , 18QS.
,l Dear Dbmecq.
“ I luve received, by Gen. Gregorie,
at seven o'clock this morning, an extra
ordinary dispatch, containing various
arid important news from Madrid, of
which I h«d not time to send you a co
py, as it is very long, ant ’here is barely
time to take one for the Captain Gene
ra!, to whom lam about to lorwgrd it.
The substance of it may be reduced to
tins :—The French wiio garrisoned and
surrounded Madrid, alarmed by tlie
failure of the nine mails from Bayonne ;
and isformed of the junction of the
Marquis de,lioaftuni, and the Duke de
1* i .Lntado, with their armies, had re
solved to evacuate Aiaclrid, which they
did in two divisions, leaving very few of
their people behind them, and took the
loi.c, to Somisierrn, on their way to
whiclr th<y must inevitably be cut off',
End not ane would remain.
’i he accounts state, that the milita
ry and private property which they had
■ plundered, wds sufficient to load *ISOO
waggons. They also assert, that the
news from Am>gon aad Cataloaia, had j
f iled with consternation both Joseph j
Bonaparte and his brother. This is all ]
• that my time permits me to coinnmni
i c»i«. I remain, See.

Xr.mz, Dec. 39.
In addition to this latter, Senor Dor Juan
ju»t received, by another dispatch from his
, : L her, the reports to which he referred in his
1 1 former letter, which are to the following effect:
s The courier of the cabinet, who a few days
1 : ago passed through this city, on his route from
j Seville to Madrid, to reconnoitre the situation
j . of that capital, has returned from thence and
. ! arrived in this city at noon, on the 27th inst.
j Go brings a passport signed in Madrid cr, the
* ! 24th, by the French government, and likewise
- ; a letter without a signature, front a person
. | who is well known and is intelligent in mat
, j ters °f st«fe, in which he gives an account of
_ : the principal occurrences of that city for a few
days past. Th<\same cornier also says, that
1 he got into Madrid by accompanying some
nttile drivers of Aepes, v.ho were carrying
- some loads for that place ; he could not, in any
. other way, have had a communication with
, * n J person without risk of his life. The
French troops evacuated Madrid on the 23d,
directing their course to Cld Castile, by Somo
l, sierra, about 30 000 men in number, and with
1 them the emperor Napoleon and his brother
. Joseph. The town of. Madrid, the Escurial,
. j Aranjuez, and the adjacent places had been
. j completely plundered, to such an extent that
r j 1500 waggons had been loaded with the pro
-1 j petty thus gotten, for France. The French
■' got possession of but a small quantity of the
, ; powder, muskets, kc. which wore in Madrid
j —the principal part having been concealed.—
The French have left 1000 men in Madrid. ar.J
about as many more at Toledo and the inter
mediate places. The inhabitants of Madrid
all declared that as soon as they should hear
the cannonading ot our troops, which are
j coming to their assistance, they would irame
, diately rise and arm themselves to shake off
| the insuffetable yoke of France—this they hop
! eu was near at hand, since the Duke deja In
-1 fantado was marching towards them with
25,000 men, and was already in Perales, only
four leagues from Madrid, arid the Marquis dc
| la Rornana, with more than 60,000 men, En
| glish and Spanish, were approaching on the
road from Burgos, and 1-ad already possessed
i himaelf of Somosierra, where it was expected
he would meet the French ar.d dat'eat th*m,
without Napoleon or his troops b«ing able to
find any reneat, cr any other alternative but
capitulation.
! Extract of another letter from Madrid, dated
tits 24th December.
Mr Faison,
“ The bearer has delivered to me the rack
ets for the Lady cf your Excellency, who pas
sed by here on her way to the house of her
mother, and has carried her clothes with her,
which is alt the French left her. They plun
dered her cf plate and every thing and j
are carrying it elf to Francs; for yesterday *
i they matched •rt with every thing which they
lira! plundered front ths Grandees, the bar ! ,
the public granaries, the mint, caLse i>l>-
count and Treasury. 30,000 men left the cii\-
yesterday, for Old Castile, by the Guadavtami
The Emperor marched off yesterday morning,
for Somosierra; they say hare, that he roes to
attack the Anglo-Spamards. They have plun
dered every thing that is possible for them t
carry away, as well in money, as in am.: m
tion, guns, etc. The king is gone w
brother, and although few French :rr p;.
main in the city, yet fhey demand iv.iutv
thousands, saying, that they expect the r
al cf 60,000 men. We knew that there .
oilier ditision coming from Frame but U

difficulties; tha whole of us i ugr. j '

now making nil the inhabitants swear . -
ar.ee to Joseph and the consthmion, and therj
are no means of preven>mg it, as i . is a. con
quered city. The Lady" of your Excellency is
well, but the beaier cf your letter cannot ,cc
her, nor wait ai.y longer for fear of b« dis
covered. The council of Castile has tupores
sed the inquisition, and have tarried oh to
France M Sangro, Trastamarra. and manv of
the officers of tlie Inquisition, prisoners. We
are not able to whisper; we cannot speak for
1 fear of being overheard by spies. They goon |
very p iitely, plundering every body, ami rob- 1
! bing without end. The news from Saragossa
j and Catalonia have suffocated the Emperor;
i and as the French have not realized the sur
render of the two armies of Car.ta-r s ai.d
Somosierra,they seem to be in doubt wha i next
tc do. 1 hey have lost in their operation here
about 6or 7000 men. There is some ; p re
hension that they may surprise the British and
the Spaniards, which would be an additional
misfortune to us.
