NOTICE.
ALL persons having demands against John May deceased, either for money due to them, or for contracts payable in lands, are requested to transmit to the subscriber a copy of their demands or contracts. All who are indebted to said John May, either for money due to him, or for contracts for land purchased from him, or for locating lands in the state of Kentucky, are requested to make payment, and to perform their specific contracts immediately. The said deceased has by his last will and testament, subjected his lands to the payment of his debts, and the subscriber will make it the first object of his administration to provide for the same, with as much dispatch as the nature and circumstances of the estate will admit of. And whereas the said John May met with a premature death, by the hands of the Indians on his passage down the river Ohio, many papers and much information perished with him, 'tis probable the subscriber may need the information of others in some matters relative to the negotiation of the deceased, in the western country, and he will thankfully receive any communications which gentlemen acquainted with the concerns of the deceased, may think proper to make.
I have appointed Mr. Thomas Carneal my agent in Kentucky to receive and forward all communications in that state, alluded to above. As the want of a legal representative since the death of Mr. May, has obstructed all operations relative to his transactions and no doubt to the injury of many, I now intreat that all persons concerned may bring forward their business immediately.
DAVID ROSS, Administrator. Richmond, January 22, 1796.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
TUESDAY, December 13.
Mr. W. Smith moved for the order of the day, on the report of the select committee, of an answer to the president's speech.
Mr. Giles rose. He hoped that gentlemen would not press the consideration of this answer to day. [The reader will observe, that printed copies of the draft of the address had been laid on the desks of the members, only about half an hour before Mr. W. Smith made this motion.]
Mr. Parker supported the opinion of Mr. Giles. When the address was read, he had not been able to hear it distinctly. Since the printed copies were laid before the house he did not find time to read it.
Mr. Ames said, that an hour of delay might be granted, to give time to gentlemen for becoming acquainted with the contents of the address. Mr. Heath observed, that the session was to be short. He wished for dispatch of business. He could not join with his colleagues in a delay till to-morrow. Mr. W. Smith rose a second time, and went over some former objections to delay. Mr. Williams spoke a few words on the same side. He knew not of any precedent for a delay.
Mr. Giles again rose. The member was so hoarse that he could scarcely be heard. He saw many things in the address which he did not like, but could not at present form his ideas, or tell exactly what he approved, or did not approve. The address embraced times past, present, and to come. His colleague (Mr. Heath) had objected to delay, on account of the shortness of the session. This hurry was not the way to expedite business. Gentlemen might be urged into an opposition from want of time to reflect, and from their feeling of impropriety in voting for an address before they found leisure to digest it.
Mr. Sitgreaves thought that the sooner the address was got through, it would be so much the better. It would have more effect to do the thing expeditiously than after a delay. He referred to the arguments urged by Mr. Giles himself in last session, when the French flag was presented to the house. It had been proposed to delay the return of an answer to citizen Adet till next day. On that occasion, the gentleman pressed its being given immediately, as it would then have a better grace.
Mr. W. Lyman wished for time to form his mind on the subject.
Here the speaker stated in what way the motion must be worded, in order to get regularly at a decision of the point in view. Business had yesterday been left unfinished. The motion that first must be made was, "Shall the unfinished business of yesterday be deferred, in order to take up the address, in answer to the President's speech?" When this motion had been settled, the house could, in an orderly way, take up the other question—"Shall the address be now taken up?"
Mr. Parker expressed his hopes that the unfinished business would not be laid aside for that purpose. The address involved very serious things. The speech informed the house that the most powerful nation in the world, the republic of France, had a misunderstanding with this country. To approve of conduct generally which might embark the house in such an affair would be improper. Mr. Parker said the Senate in their address had—Here he paused, and if he was out of order in what he was going to say, he asked pardon. He was informed that the reference would be disorderly.—On this he sat down.
The following we suppose to be the passage to which Mr. Parker alluded, in the address of the Senate:
"We sincerely lament, that whilst the conduct of the United States has been uniformly impressed with the character of equity, moderation and love of peace, in the maintenance of all their foreign relationships, our trade should be so harassed by the cruisers and agents of the republic of France, throughout the extensive departments of the West Indies."
"Whilst we are confident that no cause of complaint exists, that could authorise an interruption of our tranquility, or disengage that republic from the bonds of amity, cemented by the faith of treaties, we cannot but express our deepest
regrets, that official communications have been made to you, indicating a more serious disturbance of our commerce. Although we cherish the expectation, that a sense of justice, and a consideration of our mutual interests will moderate their councils; we are not unmindful of the situation in which events may place us, nor unprepared to adopt that system of conduct, which, compatible with the dignity of a respectable nation, necessity may compel us to pursue."
The reader will notice that the Senate, in this passage, make an entire vindication of the conduct of the executive as to France. This is what Mr. Parker wanted to avoid, and which must have been his reason for referring to the above extract.
[To be continued]
THE subscriber having been solicited by a number of persons, to lay off a town on his land, lying on the bank of the Ohio river about one mile above Limestone, is induced to offer to the public consideration, those advantages which he supposes the situation enjoys—The bottom on which the town will stand is upwards of three miles long, and about three quarters of a mile wide. It lies as well as any land on the Ohio, and is free from floods. The bank of the river at the town will afford excellent landing places, and is remarkably easy of ascent. A road from the town can be had equal to any place on the Ohio, as there will be no river hill to ascend, by going up Limestone creek about two miles, and from thence there is a good road to Wallingford about two and a half miles. The proposed town has some advantages over Maysville, at the mouth of Limestone—The river bank being much more convenient, and the bottom much more extensive, at the former than at the latter. It is the opinion of good judges, that a road greatly superior to the present Limestone road, can be had from the proposed town. The subscriber is of opinion that the spot intended for the town, enjoys more extensive advantages than any spot on the Ohio. It may justly be considered as the key to the Kentucky and Cumberland countries by land; and there is reason to suppose that it will be the grand place of deposit for the Lake country, as the Sciota river is eventually to be the leading communication from the South to the North. The country on the S. W. side of the Ohio, above and below the proposed town, is so hilly as to forbid the prospect of an advantageous road into the interior parts. The very great increase in the navigation of the Ohio, which has already taken place, and which must evidently increase, will give importance to some convenient spot on that river. The land of the subscriber offers as many advantages as any situation within his knowledge, and he verily believes, from an experience of eight years, that the situation is healthy.
The subscriber intends to lay off a town, with convenient streets and lots fronting on the river, and extending back a proper distance, and will expose the same to public sale on the first Monday in May next—A credit of nine months will be given, and bond and sufficient security required.

PHILADELPHIA, December 12.
At twelve o'clock this day, the Senate in a body, waited on the President of the United States at his house, when the Vice-President presented the following address, in answer to his speech to both houses at the opening of the session.
WE thank you, Sir, for your faithful and detailed exposure of the existing situation of our country; and we sincerely join in sentiments of gratitude to an overruling providence, for the distinguished share of public prosperity, and private happiness, which the people of the United States so peculiarly enjoy.
We are fully sensible of the advantages that have resulted from the adoption of measures (which you have successfully carried into effect) to preserve peace, cultivate friendship, and promote civilization amongst the Indian tribes, on the western frontiers; — feelings of humanity, and the most solid political interests, equally encourage the continuance of this system.
We observe with pleasure, that the delivery of the military posts, lately occupied by the British forces, within the territory of the United States, was made with cordiality and promptitude, as soon as circumstances would admit; and that the other provisions of our treaties with Great Britain and Spain, that were objects of eventual arrangements, are about being carried into effect, with entire harmony and good faith.
The unfortunate, but unavoidable difficulties, that opposed a timely compliance with the terms of the Algiers treaty, are much to be lamented; as they may occasion a temporary suspension of the advantages to be derived from a solid peace with that power, and a perfect security from its predatory warfare: at the same time, the lively impressions that affected the public mind, on the redemption of our captive fellow citizens, afford the most laudable incentive to our exertions, to remove the remaining obstacles.
We perfectly coincide with you in opinion that the importance of our commerce demands a naval force for its protection against foreign insult and depredation, and our solicitude to attain that object will be always proportionate to its magnitude.
The necessity of accelerating the establishment of certain useful manufactures, by the intervention of legislative aid and protection, and the encouragement due to agriculture, by the creation of boards (composed of intelligent individuals) to patronise this primary pursuit of society, are subjects which will readily engage our most serious attention.
A national university may be converted to the most useful purposes. The science of legislation, being so essentially dependent on the endowment of the mind, the public interests must receive effectual aid from the general diffusion of knowledge; and the United States will assume a more dignified station among the nations of the earth, by the successful cultivation of the higher branches of literature.
A military academy may be likewise rendered equally important. To aid and direct the physical force of the nation, by cherishing a military spirit, enforcing a proper sense of discipline, and inculcating a scientific system of tactics, is consonant to the soundest maxims of public policy: connected with, and supported by such an establishment, a well regulated militia, constituting the natural defence of the country, the most effectual as well as economical, preservative of peace.
We cannot but consider with serious apprehensions, the inadequate compensations of the public officers, especially of those in the more important stations. It is not only a violation of the spirit of a public contract, but is an evil so extensive in its operation, and so destructive in its consequences, that we trust it will receive the most pointed legislative attention.
We sincerely lament, that whilst the conduct of the United States has been uniformly impressed with the character of equity, moderation, and love of peace, in maintenance of all their foreign relationships, our trade should be so harassed by the cruisers and agents of the republic of France throughout the extensive departments of the West Indies.
Whilst we are confident that no cause of complaint exists, that could authorise an interruption of our tranquillity, or disengage that republic from the bonds of amity, cemented by
the faith of treaties, we cannot but express our deepest regret that official communications have been made to you, indicating a more serious disturbance of our commerce. Altho' we cherish the expectation, that a sense of justice, and a consideration of our mutual interests, will moderate their councils; we are not unmindful of the situation in which events may place us; nor unprepared to adopt that system of conduct which is compatible with the dignity of a respectable nation, and necessity may compel us to pursue.
We cordially acquiesce in the reflection that the United States under the operation of the federal government, have experienced a most rapid aggrandizement and prosperity, as well political as commercial.
Whilst contemplating the causes that produce this auspicious result, we must acknowledge the excellence of the constitutional system and the wisdom of the legislative provisions; — but we should be deficient in gratitude and justice, did we not attribute a great portion of these advantages to the virtue, firmness and talents of your administration; which have been conspicuously displayed in the most trying times, and on the most critical occasions. It is therefore, with the sincerest regret, that we now receive an official notification of your intentions to retire from the public employments of your country.
When we review the various scenes of your public life, so long and so successfully devoted to the most arduous services, civil and military; — as well during the struggles of the American revolution, as the convulsive periods of a recent date, we cannot look forward to your retirement, without our warmest affections and most anxious regards accompanying you; and without mingling with our fellow citizens at large, the sincerest wishes for your personal happiness, that sensibility and attachment can express.
The most effectual consolation that can offer for the loss we are about to sustain, arises from the animating reflection, that the influence of your example will extend to your successors, and the United States thus continue to enjoy an able, upright, and energetic administration.
JOHN ADAMS, Vice-President of the United States and President of the Senate.
THE FOLLOWING IS THE REPLY OF THE PRESIDENT.
GENTLEMEN, It affords me great satisfaction, to find in your address, a concurrence in sentiment with me, on the various topics which I presented for your information and deliberation; and that the latter will receive from you an attention proportioned to their respective importance.
For the notice you take of my public services, civil and military, and your kind wishes for my personal happiness, I beg you to accept my cordial thanks. Those services, and greater had I possessed ability to render them, were due to the unanimous calls of my country; and its approbation is my abundant reward.
When contemplating the period of my retirement, I saw virtuous and enlightened men, among whom I relied on the discernment and patriotism of my fellow citizens, to make the proper choice of a successor: Men who would require no influential example to ensure to the United States "an able, upright and energetic administration." To such men, I shall cheerfully yield the palm of genius and talents, to serve our common country; but at the same time, I hope I may be indulged in expressing the consoling reflection (which consciousness suggests) and to bear it with me to my grave, that none can serve it with purer intentions than I have done, or with a more disinterested zeal.

ROTTERDAM September 27.
From the 23d to 25th instant an embargo has been laid on all vessels in this port, to give an opportunity to several ships of war to go out, when they were to join the French and Dutch fleet at Helvoetsluys; from whence they were to go round to Dunkirk, where it was said they would make their rendezvous. Eleven sail of the line are said to be in the North Seas.

BOSTON, Nov. 25.
From a Scotch Paper.
THE MAGNETIC NEEDLE.
A gentleman has discovered the cause of the variation of the magnetic needle; and that throughout his theory, he has constructed a compass which stands invariably due north and south in all parts of the globe. The navigator, by this wonderful discovery, can always steer a true course; and the engineer or surveyor will always measure correct angles to the true meridian.
The inventor has termed it Azimuthal. By being compared with the common needle, it indicates the true variation. What is more extraordinary in it is, that any quantity of iron placed at one yard distance, does not in the least affect it.
We are likewise informed, the inventor has a needle which indicates the latitude by its dip; and that he will soon be able to produce another, by which the longitude shall be discovered through an equable variation of 90 degrees east or west. By these three sorts of compasses, the azimuth observations and the altitude of the sun or the distance from moon or stars, shall be laid aside, or at least used as proofs to those inventions; but this last point is not yet proved like the two others.
From what we could collect, it appears, that the inventor of the Azimuthal, is of opinion, that electricity is a fluid and calid agent; and that magnetism is invisible and a frigid agent.
We suspect that the inventor introduces magnetism with an apparatus similar to that of electricity, by conductors. He has shown his apparatus but to a few confidential friends, and if we credit them, his magnet carries two hundred weight.
The Azimuthal has, we are informed, been proved on land and sea, both east and west, and answers every purpose for navigation. By comparing it to all dials, it is perfectly correct, and placed in an azimuth compass-box, the observations of amplitude determines at once its nature and utility.
November 26.
Yesterday the ship Carolina arrived here in 36 days from Havre in France. The accounts by her are, that the French army of the "Lower Rhine," having been strongly reinforced, assumed offensive operations, attacked the Archduke's army, defeated it with great slaughter, and made many prisoners. — The army of Italy still continued to gain great successes.
By an arrival from Cadiz yesterday, 41 days, we learn, that war was declared there the 14th October, between Spain and England. That the Spanish fleet which failed from Cadiz, October 11, consisting of twenty men of war, four frigates and three sloops, bound up the straits, had fallen in with and captured three British frigates and transports, of Admiral Jarvis's, and sent them to Alicante, where the fleet all had arrived safe; and that a British transport had been sent into Cadiz, taken by a Spanish frigate.
November 28.
Captain Dagget arrived here yesterday, after a passage of 36 days from Lisbon. By him we did expect a confirmation of the capture of a part of Jarvis's squadron—but although he left Lisbon five days later than Mr. Myrick (who brought the report) he heard nothing of the kind until he arrived in Boston. He confirms the account of a declaration of war by Spain against England, and of the sailing of a large Spanish fleet up the Mediterranean.
CHARLESTON, Nov. 18.
An article under the Bremen head, of September 27, says—The Empress of Russia, who has been so long threatening to come to the assistance of the emperor, has at length affected her promise; already the garrisons of hereditary states are composed of Russian troops, and imperialists are, by forced marches, advancing to reinforce the archduke's army.

Wednesday, February 22, 1797.
Extract of a letter from Nashville, dated February 6th, 1797.
"The Indians killed a man and his horse on the waters of Harper a few days ago. The inhabitants of this country think that a war must inevitably be the consequence, provided they commit any further depredations."
The writer of the above is a gentleman of character, whose information may be relied on. [Herald.]
A postscript of a Paris paper of October 14th, the latest received, contains the following short account of the capture of Mantua.
"Dispatches this day received and published in the Redacteur, announce the capture of the city of Mantua; Wurmser with the 6 or 7 Generals, and part of the Garrison, has shut himself up in the citadel in order to obtain at least an honorable capitulation."
The following is a short extract of Buonaparte's dispatch, dated Sera-glio, October 1.
"We occupy the gates of Pradeia and that of Ceresé, and the citadel of Mantua, is blocked up. BUONAPARTE."
After the most unwearied pains we have not been able to trace to any authentic source the intelligence contained in Saturday's Centinel, concerning the capture of three frigates and transports, said to be brought by the vessel from Cadiz — The public are in possession of the intelligence bro't by capt. Myrick — Captain Pedrick brings the same intelligence, a letter from St. Ubes to a gentleman in Portsmouth, states exactly the same, a report of the capture was current at Liverpool. All agree that Admiral Jervis's fleet is taken, it would be but fair in the Centinel to state the source of his intelligence, how he discovered that only three frigates were taken with the transports. — We are strongly of opinion that while there was a British fleet in the Mediterranean they would not leave their transports with troops and provisions to be convoyed by three frigates.
[POLAR STAR.]
capt. Blanchard, arrived at Boston, 38 days from London, the papers by her are to the 15th of October, only one day later than before received. They contain nothing very material. Mr. Schaw, one of the king's messengers, set off on the 14th for Vienna, with dispatches to the emperor, supposed to contain the plan of lord Malmesbury's instructions, desiring the concurrence of his Imperial majesty to the negotiation of peace with the French. It was generally understood that the embassy to France, would set out from London on the 15th October.
The following is an extract of a Letter from St. Ubes, to a Gentleman belonging to portsmouth.
"Accounts are received here, that the French and Spanish fleets have taken Admiral Jarvis's fleet with a number of transports in the Mediterranean. — It is universally believed. — At Lisbon they were in hourly expectation of a visit from the French."

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
PETER PINDAR'S EXHORTATION TO THE POPE.
THE French are devils—devils—downright devils; In heavenly wheat accurs'd, destructive weevils! Abominations! Atheists to a man! Rogues that convert the finest flour to bran; In vice's drunken cup forever guzzling, Just like the hogs in mud uncleanly nuzzling. I know the rascals have a fin in petto, To rob the holy Lady of Lorett— Attack the temple with their guns so warlike, And thrust the gentlewoman on the parish; A Lady all so graceful, gay and rich, With gems and wonders lodg'd in ev'ry stitch. Heir of St. Peter, kindle then thine ire, And bid France feel thy Apostolic fire! Think of the quantity of sacred wood Thy treasuries can launch into the flood; What ships the holy manger can create! At least a dozen of the largest rate! And, lo, enough of sweet St. Martha's hair, To rig this dozen mighty ships of war. Our Saviour's pip-spoon, that a world adores, Would make a hundred thousand pair of oars. Gather the stones that knock'd down poor St. Stephen, And fling at Frenchmen, in the name of Heav'n! Bring forth the thousands of St. Catharine's nails That ev'ry convent, church and chapel hails; For storms, uncork the bottled sighs of martyrs And blow the rogues to earth's remotest quarters. Such relics, of good mother church the pride, How would they gurrycomb a Frenchman's hide! Son of the church, again, I say, arise, And fling new marvels in their sunnier eyes: With teeth and jawbones on thy holy back, Thumbs, fingers, knuckle-bones, to fill a sack; With joint of rump and loins and heels and toes, Begin thy march, and meet thy Atheist foes. Struck with a panic shall the villains leap, And fly thy presence like a flock of sheep. Thus shall the rebels to religion yield, And thou, with holy triumph, keep the field.
ANECDOLE.
An old lady meeting a Cambridge student asked him, How her nephew behaved himself? Truly, Madam, says the student, he is a brave fellow, and sticks close to Catharine Hall, (the name of the college.) I vow, said she, I feared as much; he had always a hankering after the wenches from a boy.
