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 unhandy to carry about, but also more liable to injury and therefore less durable; and as it is probable that the general laws will hereafter retain 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.

Congress of the United States.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, MAY 22.
[Continued from our last.]
Mr. Smith in answer to Mr. Nicholas.
Mr. W. Smith said, as the gentleman last up had taken a wide range of argument, he must excuse him if he confined himself, in reply, to those parts of his observations only which appeared to him essentially to relate to the subject under consideration.
He believed the question was, whether they should alter the report in the manner proposed: that is, whether they should strike out words which expressed the sensibility of this house at the unprovoked insults offered by the French Republic to our government and country, or adopt the gentleman's amendment, which he read.
If they agreed to this amendment, they must necessarily expect from the French Republic fresh insults and aggressions; for it seemed to admit that hitherto no insult had been intended.
The amendment might be divided, Mr. S. said into two parts. The first went to indicate the French from any intentional insults towards this country, it even held out an idea that the Executive ought to offer some conciliatory overtures & even designated the kind of concession. He should, therefore, without taking notice of what the gentleman had said about the political parties of this country, of what he had said respecting himself personally, confine his observations to the points of question.
The first point was whether the conduct of France was justifiable in rejecting our minister, and sending him from the republic in the manner they had done?
He thought the Committee had abundant materials before them completely to refute the first proposition; and he was surprised, knowing that these documents were in the hands of every member, that the gentleman from Virginia could expect to impress their minds with the idea that no indignity whatever had been offered by the French Government to this country in that transaction.
Mr. Smith said that it appeared most clearly that the French Directory intended to treat this Government with marked indignity; for though the gentleman from Virginia suggested an opinion, that their refusal to receive Mr. Pinckney, was owing altogether to his not being invested with extraordinary powers; this was evidently not the case, as the Directory had been well informed as to the character in which Mr. Pinckney came, before they received his letters of credence, as appears by the letters of M. De la Croix to Mr. Monroe, stating Mr. Pinckney his successor, and by other documents communicated by the President (which he read). There was no doubt, then with respect to the Directory being well acquainted with the character in which Mr. Pinckney went to France, viz. as Minister Plenipotentiary or Ordinary Minister; but after keeping him in suspense near two months, on the day after the news arrived of Buonaparte's successes in Italy, he was ordered, by a peremptory mandate in writing, to leave the French Republic. This mandate was accompanied by a circumstance which was certainly intended to convey an insult: it was addressed to him as an Anglo-American, a term, it is true they sometimes used to distinguish the inhabitants of the United States from those of the West-India Islands, but, in his opinion, here evidently designed as a term of reproach, as he believed no other similar instance could be mentioned. Upon this circumstance, however he laid no stress, the other indignities which our Minister had received were too great to require any weight to be given to this circumstance.
But, says the gentleman from Virginia, after the Directory had seen his letters of Credence, and discovered that he had no power to make concessions, they refuse to acknowledge him. What would he have required his letters of Credence to have said? were they not "faithfully to represent the disposition of the Government and people of the United States, their disposition being one, to remove jealousies and obviate complaints, by
showing that they were grounded to restore that mutual confidence which had been so unfortunately and injuriously impaired, and to explain the relative interests of both countries and the real sentiments of his own."
What more than this could have been said in letters of Credence? But adds the gentleman, his instructions did not authorize him to make any concession, or to satisfy their complaints with respect to existing Treaties. How does he know this? Will the gentleman undertake to say that his instructions did not give him this power? It certainly would not have been proper to have stated in his letters of credence what he was authorized to concede; or to exhibit to the French Government his instructions until it was known what they were disposed to do. We had complaints to make as well as they. They had committed spoliations on our commerce to a great amount. Was it right, then, to say instantly on his arrival, "I am come to offer you all these concessions" without knowing what they were disposed to offer in return? Will the gentleman undertake to say, it would have been right to have communicated his private instructions to the Directory even before he was received? If we were a colony of France, indeed it might have been expected that he would have laid not only his instructions, but prostrated himself, at the feet of the Directory. But independent as we are, he trusted no gentleman would say this was proper in any man, much less was it to be expected from Mr. Pinckney. What were his private instructions was unknown. A thousand conjectures might be formed respecting them, but they were vague and uncertain.
This being the state of the transaction, he thought it clearly established that Mr. Pinckney was not refused because he bore the character of Minister Plenipotentiary, without extraordinary powers: the question then, was, why was he sent away?
We all, said Mr. Smith, remember the complaints of Mr. Adet against our Government. It was not necessary to go into a minute recapitulation of them: it sufficed to say that they fell under the following heads: 1st. complaints of violations of our commercial treaty with France: 2d, of the Treaty we had made with Great Britain, 3d, of the Proceedings of our Federal Courts, and 4th, of the act of Congress of June, 1794, which act this House, after it had heard his complaints, had re-enacted without opposition the last session.
Now what does Mr. De la Croix say on the arrival of Mr. Pinckney? He did not condescend to say it to himself; that would have been paying him too much respect: he did not say it to the minister of the American government, but to the recalled Minister, Mr. Monroe, to whom Mr. De la Croix wrote a letter, declaring "that the Directory will not acknowledge nor receive another Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States, until after the redress of the grievances demanded of the American government, and which the French Republic has a right to expect from it."
Now what, Mr. S. asked, were the grievances contained in Mr. Adet's note and to which the Directory here refer? They were very numerous; but they chiefly fell under the four heads he had mentioned. According then to this declaration of the French government, what were we to do? We must said he, annul the British treaty: repeal the law of June, 1794, which was last session very unanimously re-enacted: and we must, by some proceeding or other, which he supposed even the ingenuity of the gentleman from Virginia would find it difficult to point out, annul the decrees of the Courts of the United States. Yet though all this must be done before the Directory would condescend to receive our Minister, the gentleman did not believe any indignity whatever had been intended against this government; and we must not express ourselves as if we thought or felt there had been any. It was, at the best, a mere matter of etiquette on the part of France, it was meant to convey no insult, no indignity: our government had given offence by a failure of etiquette, and therefore, to heal the breach, we must send an envoy Extraordinary to make the necessary concessions, and all will go well.
With respect to the gentleman's second proposition; if it was proper to be discussed at all, it would have been more properly discussed in a Committee of the whole on the state of the Union, after proper notice and being printed. If the House cannot confide in the Executive that he will take the proper measures to heal the wound; if the House were convinced that the Executive were not disposed to do this, it might be then their duty to apply to him; but the President in his speech had explicitly said, that it was his most sincere desire to restore harmony, and that, notwithstanding the indignities offered to our minister and our government, he did not think the honour and dignity of the country forbade further advances towards negotiation. After so candid and free a declaration, he was surprised to hear his disposition in this respect thus called in question. For his part, Mr. S. said, he had not the least hesitation to believe that the Executive would go all lengths consistent with the honour and dignity of the country, to restore harmony between the two Republics, because he was satisfied he had the interest of the country at heart, and he trusted that no gentleman, not even the gentleman from Virginia himself, would doubt this.
It had been argued that this country had not acted a proper part with respect to France. In order to shew this the member had adverted to three specific grounds of complaint arising out of the British treaty.
The gentleman from Virginia had confined the complaints of the French government to three articles of the British treaty; though, if the committee referred to the letter of Mr. De la Croix, it would be found that they did not confine them within so narrow a compass. They complain first to the inexecution of treaties; there are several points of complaint relative to that head. 2d, Complaints against the decrees of our Federal courts; 3d, against the law of June 1794; and 4th, against the treaty with Great Britain: Yet the gentleman confines himself altogether to the latter. And really he did not expect at this time of day, after the subject had been so fully discussed, and determined, and the objections refuted over and over again, that any gentleman would have endeavoured to revive and prove their complaints on this head well founded. The three articles were, 1st, That free ships did not make free goods. 2d, The contraband article. 3d, The provision article.
1. The stipulation with respect to neutral vessels not making neutral goods in the British treaty was not contrary to the law of nations; it only provided that the law of nations was to be carried into effect in the manner most convenient for the United States. But this Doctrine, he said, was no new thing. It had been acknowledged most explicitly by Mr. Jefferson, Secretary of State, in July, 1793, and was so declared to the minister of France; yet no objection was made to it until the British treaty was ratified, though long previous thereto French property was captured on board our vessels, Mr. Jefferson writing on this subject to the French minister, said "You have no shadow of complaint;" the thing was so perfectly clear & well understood by the law of nations. This happened so long ago as July or August, 1793. But two years afterwards, when the British treaty was promulgated, the whole country was thrown into a flame by admitting this very same doctrine. France herself always acted under this law of nations when not restrained by treaty; in Valin's ordinances of France this clearly appears. The armed neutrality was confined to the then existing war; Russia herself, the creator of the armed neutrality entered into a compact with England in 1793, expressly contravening its principles. The principle was then not established by our treaty with England but such being the acknowledged law of nations, it was merely stipulated that it should be exercised in the manner the least injurious to us.
[To be continued.]
LONDON, April 10.
Private accounts received from Vienna, have brought the disagreeable news of a general action having taken place between the two grand armies in the Tyrol, in which the Austrian army was defeated, with very considerable loss; and the archduke for a
short time taken prisoner, some of the enemy's troops having seized his horse's bridle; but his Royal Highness was very soon rescued by some of his soldiers. He is reported to be wounded.
The following additional particulars are given also: that Buonaparte, apprised of the march of a numerous body of troops, to reinforce the army of prince Charles, made an attack upon his royal highness, which, after an obstinate and desperate conflict, was attended with complete success. The result of this unfortunate affair, was, that the archduke, thus cut off from his reinforcements, immediately retired into the circle of Austria leaving the French general to take quiet possession of the important post of Valbach, in Corinthia, about 60 leagues from Vienna. In the above action eleven officers belonging to one Austrian regiment, are said to have been killed; and the archduke, as before stated, in his endeavors to retrieve the fate of the day, narrowly escaped a wounded condition, from falling into the hands of the enemy. The heroic behavior of his royal highness upon this occasion is spoken of in terms of the highest admiration. On the intelligence of this disaster reaching Vienna, that city was thrown into the utmost consternation, and, in the moment of alarm, many of the inhabitants proceeded to pack up their property, for the purpose of removing it to a place of greater safety.
Such are the general outlines of the private advices received upon this subject. The official dispatches received by government, on Thursday, it is however necessary to observe, make no mention whatever of any general engagement having taken place. They however, make mention, that the Imperialists had been defeated in a partial action, with the loss of one general and 1800 men taken prisoners; and add, that there had been several affairs of posts, in which the French were generally victorious. The archduke, it is allowed on all hands, has retreated into Corinthia, but whether in consequence of the defeat stated to have been sustained by him or for the purpose of concentrating his force for the defence of Austria, is difficult to mention.
April 11.
The dispatch from col. Graham, in the London Gazette of Saturday evening, is so far satisfactory, as it enables the public to ascertain the position of the archduke's army in Italy, which has been very erroneously represented. Instead of his royal highness having been forced to retreat to Clagenfurt, the capital of Corinthia, it appears that on the 20th ult. he was only at Vipach, in Carniola, about 20 miles from Cradiska, and 50 from Trieste. This position is much more favorable than that which the archduke was reported to have taken, and he can here receive all the reinforcements which are sending to him, without any interruption from the French.
PHILADELPHIA, June 2. CONGRESS.
Yesterday, when the house came to consider the amendment for striking out an expression of indignation at the sentiments disclosed by the president of the Directory, Barras, in his speech to Mr. Monroe, in order that it should read thus—"We cannot hesitate in expressing our indignation at any sentiments tending to derogate from that confidence; such sentiments wherever entertained serve to discover an imperfect knowledge of the real opinion of our constituents."
After several desultory remarks, the question was put, and the yeas and nays being called for by one fifth of the members present, were as follows:

Smith, Charleaton, Thatcher, Thomas, Thompson, Van Allen, Wadsworth, J. Williams—47.
This amendment, being carried, that of Mr. Dayton which had been passed in the committee on Wednes- day, being under consideration, sever- al motions were made to amend it; at length Mr. Sitgreaves moved, that in that part of the address as amended in the committee, which related to put- ting France on an equal footing with other nations, certain words should be struck out and others added so as to read thus, "We therefore receive with the utmost satisfaction your in- formation, that a fresh attempt at ne- gotiation, will be instituted; nor can we too strongly express our sincere desires that a mutual spirit of justice and conciliation may produce accom- modation, on terms compatible with the rights, interest and honor of our nation."
The yeas and nays were after a ve- ry dry and irritating discussion, called for, and were as follows
YEAS.

This amendment of Mr. Sitgreaves being lost, Mr. Kittera, moved to a- mend the amendment another way, by adding to that part which related to placing France on an equal footing, words declaring a hope that "France would compensate for injuries done to our neutral rights."
This also caused a very dry and tes- ty debate, in which the previous ques- tion was moved upon Mr. Kittera's proposition, but the house adjourned without deciding thereupon.

LIKE as a damask rose you see, Or like the blossoom on the tree— Or like the dainty flower in May, Or like the morning to the day— Or like the sun, or like the shade, Or like the gourd which Jonas had; E'en such is man, whose thread is spun, Drawn out, and cut, and so is done; Withers the rose; the blossoom blats; The flower fades; the morning hastens; The sun doth set; the shadows fly; The gourd consumes; and mortals die.
