The Celebrated Running Horse ,
GALLATIN,
WILL stand the present sea
son at William Lows’ in Columbia
county, fourteen miles above Augusta,
on the mam road leading to the town of
Washington, at the reduced price of
THIRTY DOLLARS, payable by note
the first day < f December next, which
may be discharged by TWENTY
DOLLARS paid within the season—
I - It TEEN the single visit, and one
dollar to the groom in every instance.
The season will commence on the first
| day ol April, and end on the first day
jof August. Any inaic that does not
! prove in iual shall have the benefit of
j the fail season gratis, by applying i<-> j
1 the horse, provided he is not in keeping j
; for a race. Excellent wheat and barley I
pastures are provided for the reception I
oi mares from a distance, but no res- i
possibility for accidents or escapes.— '
Mr. Low will take charge of ail marts !
that may be It It with the horse, and j
feed them twice a day with grain for |
otit shilling per day, and the money ex-1
pected when the mares are taken away, j
Good attention will be paid to every I
mare in rotation. Servants who may
be lelt 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 superior 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,
Extractedfrom the General Stud
zi—_i_. ——-
cannot be excelled.
GALLATIN was got by the import
ed Horse Bed lord, and he by Dungan
non, whose sire was Eclipse ; his dam
the imported mare Mcinbnno ; his
grand dam Miss Skeggs, by Mate hem ;
bis great grand dam by Regulus, out of 1
King Ht rod’s dam, and Regulus by the
Godolphin Arabian. To those who are
thoroughly conversant with the turf, it
would be superiluous to remark, that
Bedford undoubtedly contributed more
to tiie improvement of the breed of
horses in this country, than any stallion
ever sent to America. It would be
equally unnecessary to enumerate bis
get, suffice it to say, he was the sire of!
Cupbearer, Dunganncu, Ariadna, Nan- j
jey Air, Peggy and Lottery. Thus it is
; no wonder that Gallatin, having all his
near crosses from the best stocks in
England, should stand unequaled as a
runsu.r, as 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 February 1803,
a Charleston, he ran a three mile heat
i;f 5 m. 53 s—Two days after, he ran
the same distance in 5. 52 s.

The Hen. Capt. Gordon arrived late
last night with a dispatch from Lieut.
Gen. Sir David Baird to Lord Viscount
Caslereagh, one of his majesty’s prin
cipal Secretaries of Stale, ol which the
following is a copy :
His Majesty's s/ii/i Ville cle Tarts,
at St a, January 18.
My I .ord— By the much lamented
death of Lieut. Gen. Sir John Moore,
who fell in action with the enemy
on t!.e 16th inst. it has become iry du-
I ty to acquaint your Lordship, that the
| French army attacked the British
j troops* in the position they occupied in
j front of Corunna, at about 2 o’clock m
j the afternoon of that day.
f A severe wound, which compelled
| me to quit the field a short time pre
i v *ous to tiie fall of Sir John Moore, obli- 1
j ges me to refer your lordship fur the j
I particulars ol the action, which was long 1
j and obstinately contested, to the inclos
ed report of Lieut. Gen. Hope, who
succeeded to the command of the ar
my, and to whose ability and exertions,
in direction of the ardent zeal and un
conquerable Valor of His Majesty's!
tioops, is to be attributed, under Provi
dence, the success of the day, which ter
minated in the complete and entire re
pulse and defeat of the enemy at every !
point of an at k.
i lie lion. Capt. Cordon, my aid-de
camp, *vi;| have ti e honor of delivering
Inis dispatch, and will be able to give
your Lordship any further information
which may be required.
** honor to
Right lion. Lord Viscount Castlercagn.
His Majesty's ship Audacious , off
Ccrunn*, Jan. 18
Sir—ln compliance with the desire
contained in your communication of
yesterday, I avail myself of the first mo
ment I have been able to command, to
detail to you the occurrences of the ac
tion which took place in front of Coruna,
on the 16th instant.
It will be in your recollection, that
about one in the afternoon of that day,
the enemy, who had in the morning
received reinforcements, and who had
placed some guns in front of the light
i and left of his line, was observed to be
moving troops towards his left flank,
and forming various columns of attack
at the extremity of the strong and com
manding position which on the morning
of the 15th he had taken in our imme
diate front.
This indication of his intention was
immediately succeeded by the rapid |
and determined attack which he made
upon your division, which occupied the
right of our position. The events
which occured during that period of the
action you are fully acquainted with.
The first efiurt of the enemy was met
by the commander of the forces, and
lay yourself, at the head of the 42d regi
ment, and the brigade under Major-
General Lord William Ikn*ick.
The village on your right became an
object of obstinate contest.
I lament to say, that soon after the
severe wound which deprived the army
ofyom services, Lieut. Gen. Sir John
Moore who had just directed the most
able diposition, fell by a cannon shot.
The troops, though not unacquainted
with tiie irreparable loss they had sus
tained, were not dismayed, but by the
most determined bravery not only re
pelled every attempt of the enemy to
gain ground, but actually forced him to
retire, although he had brought up fresh
troops ini support of those originally
engaged.
The enemy finding himscll foiled in
every attempt tc force the right of the
1 position, endeavored by numbers to
' turn it. A judicious and well-timed
j movement, which was made by Major
| Gen. Paget, with the reserve, which
j corps had moved out of its cantonments
to support the right oi the army, by a
vigorous attack, defeated this intention,
~ ■»! »• ....
The MajorvCentral having PnsJ , t]
a la.lion. 52.1 regiments, drove the
enemy before him, and in his rapid Sc
judicious advance, threatened the left
ot the enemys position. Tl iscircmn
' 5j once », w,t i l ~ |ie of Lieut. Gen.
I ™; rB , tilv,sl( ’ n > (calculated to give
still fort :er security to the right of Ithe
hne) induced t.ie enemy to relax his
thoi ts in that quarter.
They we re however more forcibly
i directed towards the centre, where they
were again successfully resisted by the
brigade under Major-General Man’
mngham, forming the left cf \ our divi
■smn, and part of that under Major-Gen.
L'.itb, forming the right of n H - <;j v j
sion undt rmy orders. Upon the left,
the enemy ftt first contented himself
with an attack upon our piooutts, wide!,
however, in gene ral, maintained their
ground, finding how,nr his rtf its
unavailing on the right and centre, he
s-emed determined to render the attac k
upon the Jelt more serious,Wnd had
j succeeded m obtaining possession of
, the vlLge througl, which the great
road to Madrid pass.-s, and which v ,
situated in front of that , Ja , t oi tl ,

ground they occupied in the morning,
and the picqucis and ail advanced p_,sts
resumed their origionsd stations. •
Notwithstanding the decided nd
marked superiority which at this mo
ment the gallantry of the troops had
given them over an enemy, w'h> from
his numbers, and the commanding
advantages of his position, no doubt ex
pected an easy victory—l did not, on
reviewing all cin nmstancts, concicvc
that I should he warranted in departing
from what I knew was the fixed and
previous determination of the late
! Commander of the ibice s, to withdraw
the army on the evening of the 16th,
for the purpose of embarkation, the
previous arrangements for which had
already been made by his order, avid
were in fact far advanced at the com
mencement of the action. The troops
quitted their position about ten o'clock
at night, with a degiee of filler that
did them credit. The whole of the
artillery thut remained unembuiktd,
having Lecn withdrawn, the troops fol
lowed in the order prescrib-.d, and
marched to their respective pci:,is of
embarkation in the town and nci fibor
hood of Corunna, 'i he pic coi ts re
mained at their position until 5 o'clock,
on the morning of the 17th, w hen they
were also withdrawn with similar or
ders, and without the enemy having
discovered the movement.
By the unremitted exertions of Cap
tains the lion. 11. Curzon, Gosselin,
Boys, Rainier, Serret, Ilawkirr Digby,
Carden, and Mackenzie, of the Royal
Navy, who, in pursuance of the oidcrs
of Rear-Admiral De Courcy, were en
trusted with the service of embarking
the army ; and in consequence of the
arrangements made by commissary
Bowen* Captains Bowen and Shepherd,
and the other agents for transports, the
whole of the army was embaiked with
an expedition which has seldom been
equalled. With the exception of the
brigades under Major-Generals Hill &
Beicsford, which were destined tore
main onshore, until th; movements of'
the enemy became manifest,the whole
was afloat before clay light.
The brigade of Major-General F. -
resf' td, which \v.;s alternately to ts.
our Rear Guard, occupied the l..rd i ,
front of the town of Corunna ; if; i
