A Scheme of Chances of Insurance
On the Lottery authorised by Law for raising 2250 dollars, for the Lexington Lodge, No 25; to raise the same sum for the purpose of repairing the streets, building stone bridges, paving, &c. the town of Lexington.
THE trustees of the town of Lexington, as the representatives of the inhabitants, submit the following scheme to their constituents, and to the citizens of the state at large.
The inhabitants of the town, whether merchants, tradesmen or mechanics, and the farmers, planters and labourers of the country mutually depend upon, and assist each other. The inhabitants of the town have something to dispose of to the cultivator of the land, which he cannot manufacture for himself at the same price; on the other hand, as his occupation prevents him from sharing by his own labor in the field, the produce of the country, he is compelled to receive in return, for what he has furnished to the husbandman, that produce, either in the article itself, or the price of it.
These observations are verified by the great rise in the value of landed property adjacent to the town of Lexington, so superior to the rise of property of the same description in other parts of the state, which can only be accounted for by the rapid improvement and increase of population in the town.
To the citizens of the town of Lexington, the trustees suggest that with the sums authorized by law to be collected and appropriated by them, the proceeds of seven years taxes will be insufficient to build stone bridges, to make sewers for carrying off the water, to sink wells and erect pumps (the necessity of which has been evidenced by the late calamity by fire) and to make such other repairs, as are necessary for the health, safety and convenience of their fellow-citizens. What purpose the temporary repairs heretofore made, have answered, which have even exceeded the amount of their funds, every citizen can determine.
To the citizens of the state at large, they suggest that all increase of population is an increase of wealth; and that the increase of inhabitants who are employed in trade, merchandise or manufactures, and who do not cultivate the earth, must increase the demand for the necessaries of life, and the competition of purchasers for a foreign market; and that the proposed improvement of the town is the most likely way to procure such increase of population.
The trade and communication between the town and the country, resembles the circulation of the blood, it is irrt impelled to the heart, and from thence driven to warm and invigorate the most extreme parts.
The scheme they propose is, that they will issue the same number of chances of insurance, as there are tickets in the Lexington Lodge lottery, with the same numbers, and at the same price, and they will pay to the holder of a chance of the same number, as a ticket which shall draw a prize in that lottery, the same sum which the fortunate holder of the ticket shall be entitled to. The fortunate holders of chances of insurance, to be subject as the fortunate holders of tickets in that lottery, to a deduction of fifteen per centum.

The holders of chances of insurance, who hold chances of the same numbers as the tickets which drew prizes, shall be paid the sums due to them in twenty days after the Lodge lottery is drawn.
A credit for one half of any number of chances shall be given until the said lottery shall have finished drawing. If the several sums which shall become due to the holders of chances shall not be called for within eighteen months, they will be considered as donations.
These chances of insurance depend upon the drawing of the Lexington Lodge lottery authorized by law, an account of the drawing of which is to be published in the Kentucky papers, showing the blanks and prizes.
Tickets may be had by applying to Hugh McIlvain, James Morrison, Robert Patterson, George Tegarden, Alexander Parker, Thomas January, and James Huges, trustees of the town of Lexington, who will manage the insurance, and be answerable for prizes.

LONDON, November 21.
A party of light-horse has paraded Parliament-street, and Bridge-street, every evening on which the Treason and Sedition Bills have been agitated in the house of commons.
November, 23.
We this morning received Paris Journals to the 20 inst. inclusive (last Friday.)
From these papers we learn, that the most dreadful distress prevailed in Paris, and some commotions have taken place in consequence. In many of the sections, the unhappy people are wholly without bread, and the price of every other article continues mounting to a most enormous and unprecedented height. The Louis d'or on the 20th was 3.00. Coffee was 180 Livres per pound. Hamburg sugar 175. Marfeilles soap 150. Candles 100. The papers in our possession say, that the approach of winter, and the rigors of the season, have excited in that capital a most dreadful inquietude.
L'Eclair on the 20th instant, has the following article relative to the armies on the Rhine:
"The army on the Rhine has at last effected its junction with that

that of the Sambre and Meuse, at Creutzenach. The division of the Austrian army which passed the Rhine, is at Alzey, and found itself taken in the rear by the two united armies, which are placed between it and the Rhine. We every instant expect the news of a decisive action."
The difficulties in the distribution of bread have recommenced; on the 12th nothing but rice was delivered out. Bread is 24f ranks per pound.
Jourdan has resigned his command to Kleber. This is stated to be consequence of fatigue.
An armistice is said to have taken place between the Chouans and Republicans.
The siege of Mannheim was continued, on the 2d of November, with activity.
The Betsey and Brother, from Norfolk to Dublin, is taken by the Ranger corvette, and bound.
By a letter from Balle, of the 4th it is said, that on the night of the 19th General Clairfayt had taken the fort of the Rhine.
Letters from Holland state, that the ferment continues at Amsterdam, where every day new troubles break out.
BOSTON, January 22.
THE ARRIVAL AT SALEM.
The Eliza, Fairfield, arrived at Salem from Belfast, had 56 days passage. Her latest papers are to November 19. But owing to impediments in St. George's Channel, they contain no later continental information than we this day detail, which as principally official is important. Some letters by this arrival mention, that a revolution is forming in Ireland; and a short period will discover it to the world. Conventions are frequent, and every day more alarming. January 18 ten leagues west of George's Bank, captain Fairfield spoke the ship Bald Eagle, captain Atkins, from London for Boston, 64 days out.
PORTLAND, January 28.
FROM EUROPE.
Saturday night arrived here, brig Fame, capt. Jordan, 68 days from St. Ubes. He informs that a packet arrived at Lisbon, two days before he failed, in three days from England—the brought the account of the capture of 14 English Indian men, off Cape Good Hope, by a French squadron. Just before capt. Jordan left Lisbon, our consul there informed him that they had received accounts of the defeat of the Austrian army—a few days before they had received the accounts of the defeat of the French, and the court of Portugal had ordered rejoicings, but their joy by this reverse of fortune, was turned into mourning. The Austrian army had got the advantage of the French and pursued them across the Rhine, but the French being met by reinforcements, turned upon the austrians, pursued them across the Rhine, with immense slaughter, and were in full pursuit of them. Great talk of peace at Lisbon.
A very large privateer, schooner rigged, mounting 30 heavy pieces of cannon, is cruising in the bay of Biscay, and has made very great havoc with the English and Portuguese trade—her object is to destroy all she meets and to land the prisoners on the nearest coast. She belongs to Bourdeaux.
NEW-YORK, February 8.
It is reported, that a gold hilted sword has been presented by the Dey of Algiers, to the president of the United States, and that it arrived on Sunday from Lisbon, in the—Capt. M'Intire. Also, that the Spanish treaty has arrived in said vessel.
NORFOLK, January 26.
DEAR SIR,
The Diana after she had been cleared, hauled off into the stream where she lay until about nine o'clock at night; when a number of persons unknown went on board, confined the people to the cabin and stript her of her sails, &c. and by these means laid an embargo upon her, which will perhaps detain her until the will of our executive can be known. The other vessels are however going on with their preparations to receive the remainder of this body of horse which I am told already exceeds 500.
January 28.
Immediately after the collector had cleared out the Diana, as stated in my last, the French consul protested against him in due form,—this I believe alarmed the collector not a little, for he immediately went and obtained the said clearance from the captain of the Diana, who last night got under weigh and proceeded as far as Crancy Island where he was overtaken by a number of boats, who in the night brought her back and run her on shore on the Portsmouth side of the harbor, where she now lies.
PHILADELPHIA, February 3.
The extracts given in the Eastern papers, under Irish heads, contain nothing respecting the state of that country, except notice of a meeting at Cork "to take into consideration the present alarming high price of provisions."
February 6.
Extract of a letter from Liverpool, dated Nov. 27.
"Government has allowed bounties upon the importation of wheat; as follows: "From the South of Europe 25s. per quarter (of 8 bushels) upon the first 300,000 quarters."
"On the first 500,000 from all other parts of Europe 15s."
"On the first 500,000 quarters from America 15s.—and 10s. per quarter on all coming after, until the first of August next."

CARE OF GOOD HOPE, &c.
Captain Gardner from the Cape of Good Hope, arrived at Boston, confirms the accounts of the capture of that territory by the English, and that they have from 3 to 4000 troops there. He mentions also the arrival of news of the capture of Ceylon, as before announced; and of the report that an expedition against Batavia, the capital of the Dutch dominions in India, was in contemplation.—That the English having received information by the capture of a Dutch packet, of a considerable fleet of Dutch Indiamen about to sail for Europe, had despatched all the ships of war at the Cape to intercept them—and that the English treated the Americans very civilly, but would not allow them to take cargoes on board at the Cape.
Extract of a letter from Ballander-ry (North of Ireland) dated November 8.
"We have been kept in continual alarm for some time in consequence of the defenders having encamped in Lord Hertford's Deer park, a remarkable strong hold, from whence it will be difficult to dislodge them—We hope this but a prelude to something more important. Indeed we think a revolution not far distant, as it seems the only help which can possibly alleviate the distresses of a much injured and long oppressed people."
Thursday evening arrived in town from New-York, Charles Adams, Esq. We are informed that Mr. Adams has brought the treaty lately concluded between the United States and the Dey of Algiers: also that elegant sword mentioned in this days paper, under the New-York head, a present from the Dey of Algiers to the President of the United States.
Lexington, March 12.
Last week three men, who had encamped on Paint creek, a branch of Scota, were fired on by a party of Indians, one of them is missing.—They had gone out to make preparations for raising a crop of corn this season.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Bourdeaux, to his friend in New-York, dated Nov. 28, 1795.
"We have authentic intelligence this morning, that Pichegru has entirely defeated the Austrian Army, and taken all their artillery, &c."
Extract of a letter from Norfolk to a gentleman in Baltimore dated February 1st says:
"THE Schooner John, Captain Seward, from Martinique—says that the troops had not arrived, and that the black pioneers were ordered back from Barbadoes, and landed at F. Royal, on his passage here, he spoke the big Olive, captain Palmer, belonging to Portsmouth, New-Hampshire, 45 days from London, he told him that there was great disturbances there, that the troops destined for the West-Indies disembarked, and that this majesty, on his return from seeing them reviewed, was attacked by the mob, and his carriage broke to pieces, the captain of the guards was killed and the king had a narrow escape for his life; the mob proceeded on to St. James's palace, and forced the gates with lodges, &c. &c. &c."
Extract of a letter, from Norfolk, dated January 28, 1796.
"Since my last the Collector has received a letter from Mr. Campbell (the District Attorney) wherein he gives it as his opinion, that "Individuals have a right to export contraband articles from a neutral nation to belligerent parties"—and therefore he presumes that the Collector will not withhold the necessary papers. In consequence of this opinion, the horses will, I suppose, be permitted to depart. But I am very certain that Mr. Campbell either evaded or mistook the question, which was not whether INDIVIDUALS had a right to do so; but whether a BELLIGERENT POWER, can, within the jurisdiction of a neutral nation, set on foot and provide the means for carrying on a military enterprise against the friends and allies of said neutral nation?
Norfolk, Jan. 31.
It seems that the governor and council of Virginia, paying due respect to the Federal executive, have declined all interposition respecting the present shipment of horses, on account of the British government from this place to the west Indies—and the Diana has consequently, since my last, found her way into Hampton road, where she now lies, with her cargo of horses, under the protection of Murray's guns. The ship Thomas is also filled with horses and will drop down to-day—the other vessels are getting ready as fast as possible, whilst troops of horses are daily arriving from different quarters of the country.
You must not suppose that all these military preparations against Islands and territories granted by us, are covered by pretexts of a mercantile complexion—no such thing—I assure you they are carried on openly and above board by the British consul at this place; and the horses are moreover, immediately on their arrival delivered in charge to men in the service of his Britannic majesty—at least we have their own words for it, that they are officers in the regular British army establishment, altho' two years ago a certain Wonderful people were told that we could not furnish them even with a pistol! this proves incontestibly that we were really and truly born in a land of liberty, and early learned its value.
Feb. 1.
This afternoon an express has arrived from the governor prohibiting the shipment of horses; and soldiers are now collecting to enforce his order. Payne's sloop has fallen into the road with horses on board; whether she will be overtaken or not, I am unable to say.
Extract of another letter.
I must again address you on the subject of the British Cavalry in this place—But do it now with infinite satisfaction—As the Executive of Virginia has, upon further representation and consideration, given positive orders to arrest all further embarkations of horses, and to detain all vessels on board which such embarkations may have been made, until further instructions should arrive from the Federal Executive. These orders reached this place last evening and were immediately communicated to the British consul by col. Wilson, who also despatched the revenue cutter, with a detachment of militia in pursuit of the Diana; but whether his Majesty's bull-dogs will suffer her to be brought back from Hampton road, remains to be ascertained.
There are many long faces to be seen in town—But the whigs are as much elated as the tories are depressed, in consequence of the above mentioned occurrences—and tho' the merits of the case are not yet finally decided on, we cannot but flatter ourselves that this abominable scheme will be completely crushed, and the intended enterprise of course fall to the ground.
FROM THE N. Y. ARGUS.
Captain Tillinghast says, that the much talked of West-India fleet and army had not sailed on the 27th of November, that he had heard of.
Notwithstanding the almost innumerable assertions, that the British Fleet and army had arrived in the West-Indies, we this day find, by capt. Tillinghast, who sailed from Liverpool Nov. 27, that they had not then sailed; and by a letter from Mole, that they had not arrived there on the eighth of January. If it may be admitted to conjecture on this subject, we would surmise, that it is probable they will be more wanted in Ireland, where they were to rendezvous, than even in the West-Indies—for, Pitt's seditious bill must be crammed down.
The Bill to "prevent seditious assemblies" was on the 13th of November ordered to be read a third time in the house of lords.
