Fogs in the morning, and
heavy incommodious dews, are
common, and will be fa till the
country is laid open. In this
refpe&, a great alteration muff
have taken place since our cor
respondent was in Kentuckey,
for population has likely aug
mented by one fourth part in.
the last four years.
Formerly the country was
covered with canes which grew
much higher than the stature
of a man. A perfori, only
twenty yards within them was
effectually beyond reach, if he
chose to get away. The cattle
and hogs have destroyed in^
great degree the cane, as they
afford a delicious food for these
animals.

been accompanied with the hope that

However that may be, the Execu
tive Diredory, whole policy has no
other guides than opennefi and good
faith, will follow, in its explanations,
a conduce which (hall be wholly con.
,6rmsb!e to ihem. Yielding to the,
ardent desire by which it is animated,
to procure peace for the French R -
, public, and for ill nations, it will not
fear to decide for idelf openly. By
the constitution charged with the ex
ecution of the kwi, it cannot make,
or listen to, any proposal that would
be contrary to them. The conftitu
cional ad dees not permit it to con
sent to any alienation of that which,
according to the exiting laws, cor, ft 1-
tutes the territory of the Repub ic.
With refp>a to the countries occu
pied by the French armies, and which
have not been united to France, they,
at well as other interefti political and
commercial, may become the fubje^
of a negotiation; which will present to
the Directory, the mesas of proving
how much it desires. to attain speedily
to a happy pacification.
