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 respective 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.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
THURSDAY, December 15.
[Concluded.]
This day the house went again into a committee of the whole on the address in answer to the president's speech.
Mr. Nicholas had wished to have this business settled as agreeably as possible. He thought himself at liberty to vote for the paragraph now before the committee, because he was satisfied that the present administration had, in many instances, been wise and firm . In this address it could not be meant to include pending measures; but Mr. Nicholas found himself at liberty to vote for it, regarding measures that were past in a general sense. He should think himself wrong if he forebore to express the regret which his constituents felt for the retiring of the president from office. Mr. Nicholas, however, considered the style of compliment as too strong. He imagined that it might be better expressed for the sake of general accommodation to the sentiments of members.
Mr. Rutherford had been anticipated by his colleague in almost every thing which he meant to say. His health had not allowed him to attend during the whole of yesterday's debate, but he heard more of it than he approved. Here the member entered at large into an encomium on the president. We all looked to him as a common parent. In all his public transactions we see the goodness of that man's heart. We have seen him wrestling with difficulties between the interests of two great rival nations. Where he has made a slip, the people have dropped a tear of commiseration on this tribute to human infirmity, which has certainly been the case. This great, this perhaps first rate man on this side of the grave, deserves every degree of respect from the people. Our common parent may have committed errors. He is not accountable for them—his servants are accountable for them. This great, this almost immortal patriot, deserves all we can do for his praise. Mr. Rutherford concluded by strongly recommending sympathy with France, to which under divine providence we are indebted for our freedom. He hoped that the state of the address might be something altered for the sake of satisfying his colleagues.
Mr. Livingston had hoped that the example of last session would have warned the committee against letting any thing enter into the address that would produce debate. In this view, Mr. Livingston would vote against striking out the paragraphs before the committee, in hopes that some amendment would be made for reconciling them to the minds of gentlemen. He had yesterday been forcibly struck with the propriety of the comparison adduced by the member (Mr. Sitgreaves) from Pennsylvania. He considered the present discussion as entirely of a private nature. He considered the comparison as very natural and very becoming, between the state of America and that of Europe. He objected, however, to the words tranquil prosperity . He believed that we did not enjoy it, & that our want of it was owing to errors in the administration. He therefore would vote against the amendment, not because he approved the address exactly as it stood, but because he thought it might be amended in the committee.
The motion of Mr. Giles for striking out all which followed the word importance at the end of the 5th clause was negatived without a division.
Mr. Harper then moved his amendment, which was to strike out all which followed the 7th paragraph, ending with the words retirement from office . In place of the remainder of the address, Mr. Harper read a few lines comprehending the substance of what he moved to expunge, but expressed in fewer words.
Mr. Freeman objected to the amendment of Mr. Harper, because that gentleman had retained nothing equivalent to this paragraph.
"Yet we cannot be unmindful that your moderation and magnanimity, twice displayed by retiring from your exalted stations, afford examples no less rare and instructive to mankind, than valuable to a republic."
Mr. Harper said that he could ac-
commodate the gentleman, by taking in that sentiment.
Mr. Ames objected entirely to the amendment.
On a division, only 25 gentlemen rose in favor of it.
Mr. Parker then proposed his amendment suggested yesterday, for striking out the words, "the freest and most enlightened," in the last paragraph but one of the address.
Mr. W. Smith defended the words. Gentlemen had yesterday spoken of the offence that might be given to foreign nations by this expression, but had not named them. The people most likely to be offended were the French. To justify the stile of the address, Mr. Smith read some passages from official publications of the republic, wherein its superiority over other nations was strongly asserted. One of the passages was from a paper delivered by M. Barthelemi to the government of Switzerland, and another from a paper read in the National Convention by Cambaceres.
Mr. Parker opposed the expression on various grounds. He was at a loss to see in what circumstances America had displayed, within the last four years, any superiority in point of political discernment. He mentioned the concessions which Denmark and Sweden had obtained from Britain—they were small countries, when compared with the United States, either in extent, population, or resources—they had supported with dignity their rights as a neutral nation while America met with nothing but insult and outrage. Danish and Swedish vessels were not now plundered or confiscated. Their sailors are not whipped, nor shot, if they run away from an English press-gang. This had been the case with the brother of a gentleman now in this house. The young man was not shot dead, but he might have been so, for the ball was discharged at his body. When we were suffering injuries of this kind, Britain was, by certain gentlemen, held up as invincible. Here Mr. Parker went over the history of the last three or four years. Certain gentlemen had opposed every measure which led directly to redress. The commercial resolutions, the embargo, and the proposed sequestration of British debts, had all been successively rejected, and in lieu of these resources, we were to accept in full a reliance on the justice and magnanimity of the British king. Here Mr. Parker spoke in the most contemptuous stile of the whole transaction, relative to the British treaty, from beginning to end. Jay had executed the business in a way disgraceful to any country. Speaking of the character of the president, "I believe the man honest, wise, patriotic, and just, but I believe that he has bad advisers, that he has persons about him that perhaps are not friends of this country, and who have persuaded him to sign that wretched instrument."
Mr. Parker said that the stile of negotiation assumed by Jay was too mean to have been employed by the most petty principality in Europe. Mr. Parker then adverted to the conquests of France. He said that this republic had gone farther to the establishment of universal empire in four years than Rome during the whole period of her existence. And what are we that we should call ourselves more enlightened than this great nation? Mr. Parker objected to the expression, on the score of gross vanity. It was no mark of a man being enlightened, that he declared himself to be so. Mr. Parker then pointed out what he considered as extreme inconsistency in Mr. Ames. Last year, to enforce the execution of the British treaty, he had gone into the horrors of an Indian war. The massacre of infants, the shrieks of their mothers, and a variety of other traits, for which on the score of eloquence Mr. Parker gave the gentleman credit. I do not contest his eloquence, but what is to become of his consistency? At present we have none of these pathetic descriptions. We are told in few words that we are to meet France. Here Mr. Parker took occasion to observe, the horror which he felt at the idea of an intimate connection with Britain, upon any account or on any terms whatever. He wished to keep peace with every nation, but to have as little to do with that nation as it was possible. Gentlemen had talked of coming forward to support the executive, and to meet France. Where were they, said he, looking round to Mr. Ames, when this country was invaded by Britain? Did the gen-
tleman from Massachusetts ever lift his arm for liberty? When General O'Hara left Portsmouth, Mr. Parker came into it, and found a house as large as that in which Congress was now sitting, full of people ill of the small pox; of these many were blind, and in this condition O'Hara had left them without a single nurse, or any person whatever to give them assistance. This was British humanity.
The gentleman from South Carolina had seen a British court, and British lords. Mr. Parker had never seen the court; he had seen some of the lords in this country, and did not perceive much more in them than in other people. Mr. Parker again contrasted the alacrity which Mr. Ames expressed for going to war with France with the tremendous pictures which he had drawn of the ruin and the horror of a war with Britain. Mr. Parker acknowledged that he loved France. We had been indebted to her for our liberty. At the same time, if they were to attack this country, he should be very willing to fight against her. He was at a loss to see in what way America could injure France. Have we a fleet which we can send to attack her West Indies, or can we send an army to France to attack her there? Mr. Parker again expressed his contempt and abhorrence of the British treaty, and of every circumstance about it.
Mr. Parker observed that Switzerland, though a small territory, had preserved neutrality and dignity unviolated. This he contrasted with the stile of the British treaty, he professed his detestation of the word monarchy . He had a prepossession for France, because her government more resembled our own. He observed that kingscraft and priestcraft were going out of fashion. He concluded by declaring his strong aversion to official declarations that might give offence to any country.
Mr. Harper said that the gentleman was mistaken in what he remarked of Sweden and Denmark. He could not have quoted examples more opposite to what he had in view to establish. These two countries had a fleet of 36 ships of the line. Yet they had no redress. They had been even worse used than ourselves. We, on the contrary, had got full redress. As for Switzerland, the country was mountainous, and the people brave. They were the allies of the only nation which could attack them. That they did not declare war, was just as if we were to say that a matron did not become a prostitute. This was extremely proper, but nobody considered it as a topic of praise.
Here Mr. Harper may, in point of fact, be referred to the celebrated report of St. Just. The neutrality of Denmark was bought by France with mountains of gold. The neutrality of Switzerland cost the republic forty millions of livres. This was the reason why the political matron did not reveal her behaviour. Mr. Harper expatiated on the superior wisdom of America. She had done better than either Denmark, Sweden or Switzerland, though one of these states [we believe that the member meant Denmark] was acknowledged to have at its head the best statesman in Europe.
At four o'clock, a question was taken on the address as amended. The yeas and nays were called, there were 67 yeas and 12 nays. The address was accordingly agreed to, and a committee appointed to wait on the president to know when and where he would receive the answer.
PARIS, November 2.
The Dey of Algiers is exerting himself in the most spirited manner to maintain the independence of his ports! The English having infringed that independence, and taken a Spanish frigate there, the Algerines have re-claimed it, and are, preparing their whole maritime force!
November 6.
Citizens Directors.
I hasten to communicate to the Executive Directory the reception of letters from Brest, of the 3d instant (November) brought by an extraordinary courier, which announce that a general revolution has just taken place in Ireland. This interesting news came by two ships brought into the road the same evening by our privateers, and which lately failed from Liverpool. The Captains state, that the Irish, after taken possession of 30,
000 stand of arms in Dublin, attacked and defeated 10,000 English troops; that the whole country is in a state of insurrection.
The arrest; and some other arbitrary proceedings, of which the English Minister is accused, seemed to have provoked the commotion.

Mulheim, 3d Brumaire.
I had the honor to give you an account yesterday of the attack of the army, made by the enemy in the night between the 29th and 30th Vendemaire, upon the head of the bridge and the Isle of Newwied; he had projected nothing less than to make the garrison prisoners of war, and to raise the works, and finally to cut off the communication of the left wing with the right of the army. This affair cost the enemy more than 4000 men.

Head Quarters, at Stockach, the 10th Vendemaire, October 7.
Citizen Directors, the roads having been intercepted, it has not been in my power sooner to communicate to you our last successes.—On the 9th Gen. Latour attacked our vanguard near Schaufenried, I ordered it to be supported by another small corps, and they kept their position, notwithstanding a violent engagement.
On the 11th I ordered the enemy to be attacked all along their lines; the left wing commanded by General Detax, directed its march towards Biberac, the centre, under the orders of General St. Cyr, directed their attack in the front upon the town of Sienhausen, and the success was complete. About 5000 prisoners, numbers of colours, 20 pieces of cannon, are the advantages we have gained this day. He pursued the flying enemy during all the night; they were in the utmost disorder.
I shall do all in my power to conduct the army to honor. In the details I intend to forward, I shall designate the military corps who have in a particular manner distinguished themselves, in general they have all behaved extremely well.
General Ferain has also had a brilliant success at Revenburg.

Cost what it will the imperialists are determined to take Kehl. The Archduke Charles will himself command the attack; many volunteers have offered themselves for this purpose, amongst which are several Hungarian regiments. Batteries are already erected night Kehl, wherein heavy artillery and mortars are planted.
LONDON, Nov. 14.
The London Gazette of November 13, contains a series of letters from capt. Anstruther and R. Crauford, Esq. from the 17th to the 27th of October, giving details of a number of successive actions, obstinate and bloody, but fortunate on the part of the Austrians. The following is the last of the letters alluded to:
Head quarters of his Royal highness the Archduke Charles of Austria, Macpath, Oct 27, 1796.
MY LORD,
I have the honor to inform your Lordship, that in the course of last night, gen. Moreau's army retreated across the Rhine at Huningen.
The last of his rear guard was this morning still on the heights of Weiler, on which he had constructed a large and solid work; but after a little skirmishing with the hussars, they evacuated the height and redoubt before any infantry could come up; and nothing now remained on this side of the river, but a few troops in a small tete de pont behind which is a horn work lately constructed on the island called Sheuter Insel.
I have the honor to be, &c.

November 17. (evening.)
We are sorry to state that things assume every day a more gloomy appearance in Ireland. Those who can see further than the bare surface, perceive dreadful calamities to this coun-

try from the crisis to which they perceive things hastening in the sister kingdom. The events we shall faithfully relate, as they arise, and we shall spare no pains to obtain the best information of every thing that concerns that country. The following paragraph we copy literally from a Dublin paper of Saturday last (Saunders's News Letter.) It deserves the more attention, as that paper is not charged with retaining matters inimical to the men in power.
"Notice, it was yesterday said, has been given to some of the military associations of the metropolis to hold themselves in readiness to take the several guards of the city, in the eventual absence of the troops in garrison, who, we are informed, have been instructed to be in immediate preparation for march, with sixty rounds of ball cartridges. These orders are we hear, in consequence of dispatches from a nobleman who lately proceeded to the North, and who it would seem, from those precautionary measures, envisages something of a growing turbulence, against which it may be necessary to oppose judicious and instant preventatives."
HALIFAX, December 24.
A passenger in the Prince Edward saw a London paper at Deal, of the 18th ult. A paragraph in which stated, that 80,000 troops and 13 ships of the line were lying at Breist, preparatory to an intended invasion of Great Britain, should the negotiation fail. The French have long contented themselves with talking about this favorite expedition.

LEXINGTON:
Wednesday, March 8, 1797.
The following melancholy accident happened last week near Mr. Devenport's on the road leading from this place to the mouth of Hickman. A labouring man who was hired to break flax, had set the flax against an out house to dry, leaving a space between the flax and house; two small children amused themselves by crawling into the vacancy and whilst the labourer was gone to drink, it is supposed they carried in fire: as the labourer returned he was alarmed by the shrieks of the children and discovered the flax in flames, and before he could render the smallest relief the flax was consumed, and the children almost entirely burnt up. It was with difficulty the mother was prevented from rushing into the flames being drawn to the fatal spot by the screams of her children.
Died, on Monday last, Mr. JAMES PARKER, Merchant in this town; and yesterday his remains were interred in the burying ground at Mr. Rankin's meeting house. The very numerous and respectable concourse of people who attended the funeral, is the strongest proof of the esteem and friendship, the citizens of Lexington had for the deceased.
Notice.

STRAYED OR STOLEN.
FROM Mr. Haydon's near Frankfort, on the night of the 17th of last month, a dark bay HORSE, rising 15 hands high, 6 or 7 years old, if any brands I have forgot them, he is on one of his fore legs from his ankle down, very gray, a lump on his back, about the size of a hen egg, occasioned by an old hurt, but now perfectly well—he trots and canters tolerable well, but when trotting, rises rather low behind, paces some, rises well before, though carries his head low. I am told there was a man passed through Shelbyville the next morning after the horse was missing, on such a horse, and from the circumstance, I am induced to believe he was on him.
