March 25. 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.

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 !

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

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. «K. 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 Junot’s.

The Fi-.-ncl: 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.
