PROPOSALS For Publishing by subscription, A NEAT EDITION OF THE KENTUCKY LAWS.
IT is proposed, that this edition shall contain only the Laws that are of a general nature, and will consist of the laws lately revised, and to be revised; there will be no more given of local or private laws, than their titles and time of passage. From the best calculations, it will extend to about six hundred pages.
CONDITIONS: I. This work will be printed in two Numbers, large Octavo, with a neat letter, on good paper, and bound in boards. The first Number to contain all the laws of a General Nature already revised. II. The price to Subscribers will be Three Dollars; one half to be paid at the time of subscribing, and the balance on the delivery of the Second Number. III. The work will be put to press as soon as five hundred copies are subscribed for, and the first Number completed with all possible dispatch; the second will be delayed until the revival is finished. IV. If the Laws do not exceed five hundred Pages, there will be added an appendix, containing an Abstract of the Duties of a Justice of the Peace, taken from the most Approved Authors; with the different forms of process in that office; as well as the most useful forms of conveyancing, &c. There will also be added, a copious index, whereby any article may be easily found by inspection; and the Constitution of this State and the United States will be prefixed. V. Those who subscribe for twelve copies shall have one extra.
As the form in which the Acts of Assembly have been printed, renders them not only handy to carry about, but also more liable to injury and therefore less durable; and as it is probable that the general laws will hereafter remain a considerable length of time with little or no alteration; it is the object of this work to remedy those evils, by furnishing them in a portable form, and of durable materials. JOHN BRADFORD.

NEW-YORK, Saturday Evening. June 24.
We have received foreign papers by the Rising Sun, capt. Loring, arrived last night in 37 days from Hull. The latest accounts are of May 16 from Hull and Liverpool, and May 12 from London—[the most important of which follow—further accounts will be given in the Centinel.]
Letters mention, that the PLOT THICKENS in Ireland—where the army had refused to do duty, &c. &c.
LONDON, May 6—7.
That our readers may see the feelings of the French people towards the English government, on the receipt of the news of a separate peace the Emperor of Germany, we think it seasonable to translate a paragraph from the Grandeur, of the 28th ult. one of the most moderate of the Journals of Paris, and which is attached to the Directory:
"England alone now remains to us to combat. He who shall subdue that power, will do more for us even than the conqueror of Italy and Austria. We must not dissemble, that the fall of Great Britain is the inmost wish of government; that if we have foreborne to revolutionize the continent, it is that we may crush the maritime powers.—This design is strongly pronounced; it is so profoundly engraved on the hearts of the state, that it would be ridiculous to contest it. If the house of Austria, and the Italian states, are not extinguished, it is to the ulterior intentions of our government, that they are indebted for this political existence."
"Let us thank God that the rage of French people is now to be altogether turned against a power odious to all parties! Never did a war obtain the national assent so perfectly as that which is to terminate it. We have pitied all the other nations over whom we have triumphed; we have wept over the ruins of Italy, of Belgium and of Germany; but we address with all our hearts to England the invocation which was addressed to Rome by the indignant sister of Horatius."
"These horrible wishes are in my heart, and they ought to be in the heart of all Frenchmen who know, like me, that England has organized our horrors, fed the fury of our murderers, paid the punishment of 100,000 innocents, sharpened the poignards of Jacobins, purchased the crimes of the Orleansites and of the imperious faction that succeeded them, betrayed the universe and made a traffic of their misfortunes!"
May 9.
Mr. Pitt has it in contemplation to abolish Sunday Schools. This grand measure, united with the extinction of News-Papers, will give old England a specimen of Turkish liberty, which consists in the full and unlimited privilege of praising the government.
The public informer in Ireland, who goes about in a mask, is very prudent in doing so. The nature of his employment pointed out the necessity of using such a cover for rascality.
MUTINY IN THE FLEET.
Portsmouth, May 7.
It is with the most serious concern that I inform you that the grand fleet is in a state of discontent, in a more alarming degree than before his majesty's pardon was communicated to them. They broke out this day at 12 o'clock, refused going to sea, and hove ropes at the yard-arms for hanging such as displeased them. The delegates proceeded in procession from each ship, in about 22 boats, and went on board each ship. Capt. Nichols, two lieutenants, the marine officers and surgeon, were formally discharged from the Mariborough, after an hours notice: they landed at the point this afternoon. On going on board the London, the officers resisted with musketry and pistols, and several are killed and wounded: the wounded are just landed at the hospital at Haslar. It is reported, that admiral Colpoys and the officers of the London, are to be hung at sunset. We trust it is not true.
Extract of another letter.
This day the mutiny at Spithead and St. Helen's, has burst out with redoubled violence; and what will render the terrible consequences inevitable, seven seamen were this day hastily
put to death in London, by the officers. The utmost terror pervades the streets of this town, and the wealthy seem disposed to seek an immediate shelter in the interior. Though no person whatever is admitted on board any of the ships, yet we have reason to know, that the present alarming discontent, which threaten the pillars of the empire, originated from what passed a few days since in the H——, wherein they considered the faith pledged to them was not meant to be performed; and this inference they probably drew from the circumstance, that when a mutiny lately happened on board the Culloden at Spithead, and though an amnesty was solemnly promised on returning to their duty, yet five of the ring-leaders were afterwards executed.
Extract of another—half past 6, P. M.
This morning a cutter arrived from Sir John B. Warren. It is stated, that the French fleet had worked out into the outer port of Brest, consisting of 17 sail, and a number of transports, which appeared ready for sailing at a moment's notice; in consequence, a message by the Telegraph was conveyed to the Admiralty, and an answer returned: on a cutter going to St. Helen's with the Admiralty orders, the sailors instead of obeying, immediately manned the yards, and cheered as heretofore; soon after, plying from ship to ship, and every mind on shore is agitated with the most poignant alarm and suspense, as no direct communication is permitted; but this particular has transpired. When the boats attempted to go on board Admiral Colpoys's ship he and his officers resolved to oppose their coming on board with force, and in the encounter 7 of the boats' crews were killed and nine wounded.
[Several other letters of the same date, appear all to the same purport.]
May 12.
According to letters from very respectable persons, we find the disputes in the fleet cannot yet be considered as entirely terminated. There is however, great reason to hope that lord Howe will soon be enabled to restore harmony both amongst the officers and men.
Earl Howe has visited the fleet, and has been well received by his brother tars, with whom he has so often rode triumphant. His presence could not but have a good effect, and more so, as we understand he was empowered by his majesty to promise a pardon, and a generous forgiveness for all past conduct, on condition of their returning to that system of duty and discipline, without which, the British navy cannot exist.
The coroner's inquest upon the bodies of the three seamen who died of wounds they received on board of, or along side the London, in the late mutiny of the fleet, have brought in a verdict of—Justifiable Homicide.
The statement which got abroad on Wednesday, of the French fleet being again at sea, subsided the next day. Its being in readiness to sail, is, however, still believed.
The Dutch convention have issued a general pardon for all deserters, not excepting the Orange party that assembled at Osnaburgh.
PORTSMOUTH, May 8.
The horror and confusion of this town are beyond description, in consequence of the mutiny in the fleet.
It was not the first lieutenant of the London, that was shot last night, but Mr. Sims, first lieutenant of marines, on board that ship, and Mr. Simpson, one of the midshipmen, both of whom are in the hospital.
The following persons were also sent to the hospital, wounded last night: William Baker, Richard Collins, John Pickering and Charles Darton.
The three former are dead of their wounds.
This morning some of the delegates came to enquire how the wounded men were, and being informed that three of them were dead, the delegates desired to see the bodies, which were shewn them. They then declared that Admiral Colpoys's life should answer for it, and that they would go on board the London, take her to St. Helen's, and try him there this very night.
They went on board immediately, confined the Admiral, and are now going down to St. Helen's with the ship.
They also made a signal to every ship at Spithead to follow her down.
The Mariborough, of 74 guns, La Nympe, La Virginia, and many others, are now on their way, and going down.
Six, P. M.—Officers from different ships are turned on shore out of number.
A ship has just come in from sea, which had been stopped at St. Helen's.
I am much afraid there is very little chance for Admiral Colpoys, as I have been told within these few minutes, by one of the seamen, that he certainly will be hanged tomorrow.
Admirals Lord Bridport and Sir Alan Gardner, are still on board.
Seven, P. M.—Admiral Colpoys is in irons—Capt. Griffith is confined—and the other officers and marines are also in custody, at the will and under the controul of the delegates, who have now, in fact, the command of the fleet.
PARIS, April 29.
It is confirmed that the independence of Italy and Belgium are the preliminary articles of peace. The envoy from Milan has received from his fellow citizens the assurance of their independence: and the private letters inform us, that the news was received at Milan with the greatest enthusiasm, the inhabitants expressing the highest satisfaction.
May 1.
Previous to the signing the preliminaries of peace, the Emperor sent to the French general, three noblemen of the highest rank in his court, as hostages. Buonaparte received them with distinction, invited them to dinner, and during the desert, addressed them thus, "Gentlemen you are free—Tell your master that it is his Imperial majesty wants a pledge, you cannot serve for one, and that you ought not if none be wanted."
The Executive Directory have, it is said, directed Gen. Buonaparte to demand the liberty of La Fayette and his two companions in misfortune—Bereau de Pury and Latour Maubourg. It is not to be supposed that the hero of Italy so distinguished by every noble and generous sentiment, would have neglected to break the chains of the illustrious victims of the vengeance and tyranny of the English government: but it is pleasing to see the Directory themselves anticipating this act of magnanimity and justice. It is a glorious triumph of the spirit of moderation over the fury of party.
May 2.
The Chevalier d'Aranzo, ambassador from Portugal, having refused to sign the conditions of peace offered to him, has been obliged to quit Paris; he has just set off for Lisbon. These conditions it is said were,
 1st, Thirty millions.  2d, The cession of part, or Brazil to Spain—and  3d, The shutting of all the ports of Portugal against England.  (REPUBLICAIN FRANCAIS.)
May 3.
It was rumored this morning that the people of London are in a state of insurrection—that Pitt had been removed, forced to hide himself, and had been found in a cave, from whence he had been sent to prison—that the royal family had fled—that the people called out for the prince of Wales—and that PEACE!—PEACE! was the general cry. This news, so often repeated, will soon be found true; but we can affirm, that Pitt is in the greatest embarrassment, and that the bank no longer discounts its bills.
May 4.
The Directory have addressed letters of congratulation to the generals of division, Regnier, Desaix, Duham, Jordis, and adjutant general Demont, all belonging to the army of the Rhine: also, to the generals of the army of the Sambre and Meuse, Dubelle, Championet, Lefebvre, Grenier, Ney and Foat, the aid-du-camp, who with only 30 hussars, made 300 of the enemy's hussars lay down their arms.
Gen. Hatry, does not, as was said, relinquish the command of the army of the interior.
Every thing at Paris is in perfect tranquility; and we shall arrive without the slightest shock at the first Prairial, and the installation of the Second Third, and the appointment of a new Directory.
The Directory have published the following advice:
"The movement of some corps of
troops stationed in the frontier military divisions, has given rise to the report of troops having been unconstitutionally called to Paris; and the disaffected availing themselves of that circumstance, have endeavored to excite distrust and alarm, in the minds of the citizens. No troops have for a long time been called in augmentation of the division alluded to, and none have come within the limits prescribed by the constitution. The movements mentioned among the troops in that division, are occasioned solely by the usual renewal of the detachments, and the change of cantonments; regulations indispensably necessary in the service. The happy influence of peace is already sensibly felt. Paper currency which was in payment of rent a few days ago at 8 and 9 per cent, has already risen to 16 or 17: and it is supposed that in a few months it will be at par."
Message from the Directory to the Council of Five Hundred of the 30 ult.
"We are eager to dissipate by this message, the uneasiness created in the public mind, and which disaffection & stock-jobbing have attempted to accredit, relative to the reality of the preliminaries of peace concluded between General Buonaparte and the Emperor's plenipotentiaries. The adjutant general of the army of Italy, Sole, arrived yesterday evening with the preliminary stipulations signed, which he delivered to the Directory. That officer passed through Germany, and hostilities have ceased every where. The basis of these preliminaries, approved of to day by the executive Directory, are
 The cession of Belgium by the Emperor and King.  The acknowledgements of the limits of France such as they have been decreed by the laws of the republic.  The establishment and the independence of a republic in Lombardy. 
"These moderate as well as honorable conditions, are the guarantees of the solidity and duration of a peace so gloriously conquered by the love of liberty, the indefatigable bravery of our brethren in arms, and the talents of the generals, who for six years have led them to victory."
This Message was received by the Council of Five Hundred with the loudest plaudits.
Jean de Bry paid a just tribute of gratitude to the peace makers of Europe: he expressed the warmest wishes that the peace might extend beyond the continent; and he concluded by moving that the legislative body should direct the day of signing of the preliminaries of peace to be a day of rejoicing.
Pastoret moved that a column should be erected to the brave defenders of the republic in the principal square of the great commune, with this inscription—The Republic in gratitude to her brave defenders.
These motions were referred to a commission.
The above is a literal translation of the Message of the directory. We shall now lay before our readers an extract from the Republican Francaise (one of the most respectable of the Paris papers) which gives more in detail the preliminary articles; and this intelligence though not official, may probably be considered as authentic. It has been copied by all the other Paris papers.
The independence of the republic of Batavia is recognized by the Emperor.
The preservation, by the republic of Belgium and the country of Liege.
The French republic shall have for limits, Luxembourg, and all the territories of the Empire to the Moselle.
The Emperor recognized the independence of the Republic of Lombardy. He receives as an indemnification a part of the Terra Firma of Venice. Venice is to receive in exchange, the legation of Bologna and Ferrara. There is to be a Congress at Berne, to regulate the definitive articles.
The two powers shall invite their allies to be present at the congress, to treat for a general peace.

LEXINGTON:
Wednesday, July 19.
From Philadelphia, June 30.
In Senate yesterday, the principle of suffering merchantmen to arm was negatived, 19 members voting against it; a motion to regulate their arming when bound to Asia, Africa and the Mediterranean, was agreed to, 15 members rising in the affirmative, and Messrs. Marshall Ross and Reed were appointed a committee to report a bill.
Letters received yesterday by an arrival in 12 days from Charleston, inform, that two British seventy-fours and some light vessels at anchor off the bar, are daily taking in ammunition, &c. for the intended expedition against St. Augustine, and that they also publicly recruit by beat of drum. The French and Spanish consuls, justly alarmed at this proceeding, have also proceeded by beat of drum to recruit for the reinforcement of St. Augustine. They had already raised 57 volunteers when the vessel failed.
Mr. Monroe arrived in this City from France, yesterday afternoon.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
FOR THE FOOL CLUB.
ALL whimsical people come hither, And choose a nonical strain; For who'd be a wit in hot weather, T' endanger the loss of his brain.
'Tis nonsense we sing and we deal in, And gently only deal it about; And if common sense chance should steal in, We kick the precise rascal out.
Whereof, forasmuch, notwithstanding, Moreover, to wit, furthermore; Sure never were words so commanding, So sweetly adapted before.
Thus free from restraint, in we rate, Enlaid by no precepts or rules, Whilst those who in form prattle prattle, Are nothing but sensible fools.
Should nonsense from human kind sever, What numbers must straight away run; The beau-pick his teeth must forever, The chattering coquette be undone.
The bards would have little to write on, The lawyers have little to say; The critics would nought have to bite on, The spouters be dumb through the day.
Besides, for a plague wit is sent ye, Its owners forever are poor; Whilst nonsense is veiled with plenty, Whereof you may see now therefore.
A wicked wag at Manchester, (England) lately advertized a reward of three pence, for the light of a Guinea, as the greatest rarity of the times!

WHEREAS a certain Christopher F.
