NICHOLAS WARE. Augusta, Feb. 18, 1809, 33 AUGUSTA, GEORGIA. 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.

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 , 1 rcm l '' s P ( !

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 , del’ Major Gen. Hill was s'.; j< i,«l in i reserve cm the promontory inti.e i.a , ■ oi the town.
