RAN away from Golston Stepp's on the 27th of March, three negroes, viz. A man named Isaac, a black fellow, about 25 years of age, about 5 feet 10 inches high; he formerly belonged to Richard Higgins, Golston Stepp and James Knight—Lydia, a woman 18 years old, the common size; she has a female child named Amasa, about one year old. It is supposed they are in the neighbourhood of Joseph Craig. Who ever will deliver the above negroes to the subscriber living on Jessamine, shall be handsomely rewarded. tf MARSTIN CLAY.
TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD.
RAN away from the subscriber, living in Fayette county, between Lexington and Frankfort, NAT, a likely negro man, about 22 years old, of rather a black complexion, about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, four look, and short curly speech, had on a long negro cotton coat and overalls, coarse shoes with iron plates on the heels; he took with him sundry other cloathing. Also TOM, a likely negro man, twenty years old, brother to Nat, and of the same complexion, about five feet ten inches high, a down look, but generally smiles when spoken to, he has with him a kind of light infantry cap, and a black wool hat, a short gray linsey coat and one long blue broadcloth do. I expect he has overalls of home make. I will give the above reward for said negroes, or ten dollars for either, and if taken over fifty miles from home, or out of this state, all reasonable charges.

The subscriber, who will hereafter reside in this town, is authorised to dispose of the above mentioned property by a power of attorney, recorded in the office of the court of appeals. As he means to practice law in the adjacent courts, persons desiring to purchase the different tracts, will have an opportunity of contracting with him at any of those places. Charles W. Bird.
Seventy-five Dollars Reward.
RUNAWAY from the subscriber, the tenth of December last, a likely Negro Fellow, named Ishmael, about twenty-six years of age, five feet nine or ten inches high, stout, well made, his upper fore teeth a little wide, it is supposed that he is detained by the infigation of a certain Mrs. Mary Netherland, or some of her associates—the said Mary Netherland, was formerly the wife of John Netherland of Virginia. Also, a Negro Fellow, named Bob, (who was violently taken from me by a certain Martin Hawkins,) about forty years of age, with a blemish in one of his eyes, about five feet eight or nine inches high, lumps in his walking, occasioned by a hurt in his hips. Also, (runaway,) the fourteenth inst. a Negro Fellow, named Phil, about forty years of age, five feet nine or ten inches high, well set, and has a large scar on one of his legs, occasioned by an old sore, which is not yet cured. The above said negroes, I expect, will pass as the property of the said Mrs. Mary Netherland, and notwithstanding the many assertions against John Netherland, it is hoped, no person of character, will be so uncharitable as to condemn him, until a full investigation of the circumstance between him and the said Mary can be heard; all persons will be particularly cautious from purchasing or hiring said negroes from said Mary, or other Persons, and also, the said Mary is legally divested of all power of making use of any property belonging to the said John Netherland; and further, any property in my possession, belonging to the said John Netherland I am ready to deliver to said Mrs. Netherland, on her legal application, agreeable to their mutual separation. The above reward, will be given, for the three negroes, delivered to me on Hickman creek, Fayette county, or lodged in any jail in the state, or twenty-five dollars each, and all reasonable charges, paid by B. NETHERLAND. Agent for JOHN NETHERLAND. March 16, 1797. tf

LONDON, February 7.
By the letters from Paris, which arrived in town along with the French papers, we learn that Mr. Pinckney the American minister, applied to the directory for a special protection. To this request he received for answer, that being considered as a simple individual, he could receive no other protection than that which every other private citizen of America, or any other of the neutral nations was entitled to; and this he might enjoy so long as he chose to make the Republican territory the place of his residence. Upon this answer Mr. Pinckney intimated his intention of quitting France, and of going to reside in Amsterdam, until he should know the pleasure of his government as to his future conduct.
February 8.
The prince of Wales has offered his services to the king, to go to Ireland in the quality of lord lieutenant, and exert all the influence of his popularity with that nation in restoring it to tranquility. This has been the subject of his late conferences with Mr. Pitt. He proposed to take with him earl Moira, as commander in chief, together with a splendid household, worthy the dignity of the people whose royalty he was to represent. This proposition was received by ministers with respect due to its patriotism, and has been made the subject of much important discussion. That his royal highness is peculiarly popular in the sister kingdom, is a fact upon record. They gave him a signal proof of their confidence in a period of critical delicacy, and the impressions which their kindness left on the prince's mind has still further endeared him to their favor. But whether the heir apparent to the crown of the empire should fill this station, is a question in policy which will demand mature consideration.
February 10.
IMPORTANT ARTICLE.
By recent advices from France, we learn, that in consequence of a decree lately passed (allowing the whole of the prizes to the captors) the number of privateers is very rapidly increasing. Several are coming out from Nantz, Calais, Dunkirk, &c. some of which are large stout vessels carrying 40 guns.
The history of man never produced any victory so memorable in all its parts as that of Buonaparte. Considering the number of points which he had to defend, and the very extensive line of posts to occupy, it is certain that 80,000 French could not be actually engaged in the battles. It appears, then, that every fighting man engaged, either killed or took his man.
February 14.
Perlet's Journal of the 3d, contains an article stating that the king of Prussia has ordered the marquis de Lucheim, to declare to the court of Vienna, that he shall look upon any offence committed against the German princes, who have made a separate peace with France, as personal—that to enforce this declaration, all his territories are put upon the war establishment; and the duke of Brunswick, Kalkreuth, Mollendorff, &c. have been ordered to get their military equipage in readiness for actual service.
Letters from Frankfort mention, that while the elector of Saxony and the German princes, who have put themselves under the protection of Prussia, refuse to furnish the contingent to the emperor, the elector of Bavaria redoubles his efforts to second that monarch, and that 10,000 Palatine troops are going to replace the void occasioned by the defection of the Saxon forces, and that these 10,000 men will soon be followed by others, which the elector of Bavaria is raising as fast as possible.
Mr. Pinckney, the American minister at Paris, having received orders to quit the territories of the French Republic, has actually taken his departure accordingly. War between these two powers, may therefore be considered as inevitable.
February 16.
General Buonaparte has addressed the court of Tuscany, a request on the part of the French Republic, to pay without delay, a sum of two millions in specie, viz. one million as an indemnity for the expenses the French were at in protecting the harbor of Livorno, and one million as a loan, which the French Republic will pledge
itself to repay, both principal and interest. It is thought that the grand duke will be obliged to comply with this request.
February 27.
BANK OF ENGLAND.
We have this day the most important communications to lay before our readers. By an especial recommendation of government, no more specie will be issued in payment from the Bank of England!
In contemplation of this vast measure, an express was yesterday morning sent to Windsor; and soon after his majesty arrived in town, and attended a privy council, held at Buckingham House, which sat three hours and afterwards adjourned to Downing Street.
The following is an official copy of the order of council:
"At the council chamber whitehall, February 26, 1797. By the lords of his majesty's most honorable Privy Council, present, The Lord Chancellor, Earl Spencer, Lord President, Earl of Liverpool, Duke of Portland, Lord Grenville, Marquis of Cornwallis, Chancellor of the Exchequer. Signed, W. FAWKNER."
"Upon the representation of the chancellor of the exchequer, stating that from the result of the information which he has received, and of enquiries which it has been his duty to make, respecting the effect of the unusual demands for specie, that have been made upon the metropolis, in consequence of ill founded or exaggerated alarms in different parts of the country, it appears, that unless some measure is immediately taken, there may be reason to apprehend a want of a sufficient supply of cash, to answer the exigencies of the public service."
"It is the unanimous opinion of the board, that it is indispensably necessary for the public service that the directors of the bank of England should forbear issuing any cash in payment, until the sense of parliament can be taken on that subject, and the proper measures adopted thereupon, for maintaining the means of circulation and supporting the public and commercial credit of the kingdom, at this important conjuncture; and it is ordered, that a copy of this minute be transmitted to the directors of the bank of England; and they are hereby required on the ground of the exigency of the case, to conform thereto, until the sense of parliament can be taken as aforesaid."
Signed W. FAWKNER.
At a meeting the principal bankers, merchants &c. held at the mansion house, at which the general sense appears to be similar to that which governed the commercial interest during the rebellion of 1745, to take the bank notes in all payments and by every exertion to promote the circulation of them.
The security of government will probably be united to that of the bank notes, by way of indorsement, for the purpose of preserving their credit. Bank of England notes for 3 and 2 guineas it is said will be issued; and if any person presents a note or draft or a check, for payment, no part of it will be paid in cash more than two pounds. Lond. Packet.
DUBLIN, February 15.
A report was yesterday in circulation, that an officer in some rank in the French service has deserted to this country, and brought with him the plan of the intended invasion. The particulars of the plan were even stated, and these were said to be that a landing was to be attempted in Ireland in two different places, while a descent should be endeavoured in the South and North of England, and in Scotland. This is, indeed a grand design on the part of the French—full of glorious enterprize; but we have no doubt whatever of the attempt being made, hopeless as it must appear in its consequences, with the utmost force the French can bring against us either by sea or land.
We are happy to find that the most vigilant and vigorous preparations are making by government, to resist the meditated invasion of the French. Plans are now forming for encampments on the sea coast, and meanwhile, should any hostile attempts be made, the commanders of the different districts are furnished with ample instructions how they are to act.
Sir Hector Munroe, commanding a district in Scotland, has received orders to repair to his command without delay.
In consequence of circular letters sent by the Duke of Portland to different towns in Scotland, desiring to know how many forces could be accommodated in each town, a great alarm of danger has spread through that country, and the letters from thence are as full of apprehension as if the French were actually on the coast.
LUBECK, January 11.
We have just received very alarming intelligence, with relation to our commerce—the Court of Spain has declared to the Cities of Hamburgh, Bremen, and Lubeck, that if they do not break off their commercial connections with England, they will not only take possession of all ships belonging to the Hans Town, but will also confiscate the property of every Hanseatic Merchant in Spain, estimated at a very considerable sum of money.
We are yet ignorant what resolutions have been made by the towns, on this occasion; but it will be utterly impossible to end our commercial concerns with England.
NEW-YORK, April 6.
VERY IMPORTANT!
Last evening the ship Chesapeake, capt. Wise, arrived at this port, in 30 days from Bourdeaux.
By the Chesapeake we have received letters and papers—Bourdeaux dates to February 22, and from Paris dates to February 18 inclusive.
The papers contain a confirmation of the Fall of Mantua, and entering Trent.
ABSTRACT
Authentic. From Buonaparte's letter, dated at Faenza, Feb. 3.
From Trent the furious campaign against the Pope commenced; the junction of gen. Maltena and Joubert was effected. On the 1st of Feb. gen. Victor lodged at Imola, first town in the Papal Estates. The Papal forces cut the bridges on the Senio, which were lined with cannon; they were attacked and defeated, with the loss of 14 cannon, 8 pair of colours, 1000 prisoners, having had 4 or 500 killed. The French lost about 40 men.
The town of Faenza was the next object, whose inhabitants founded the tocsin and prepared to defend themselves but a few discharges of our cannon proved sufficient.
Sorly is also taken by gen. Victor and he was then on his march to Ga-zenna.
Thus we find the army of France in Italy to be so unprecedented in valour and fortune, as, in the course of six months, to have made 100,000 prisoners, the finest and best equipped of the emperor's troops, taken 400 pieces of cannon independent of arms, ammunition, provisions, & wealth to an immense amount.
The Pope, by his non compliance with the armistice concluded the 2d Messidor, by Buonaparte, the same was considered in consequence by the government of France of no effect.
Capt. Wise sailed in company with the ship Federal George, captain Coleman, of Boston, bound to Spain; and Cleopatra, of Philadelphia, capt. Smith, bound to Lisbon, which left Bourdeaux in great hurry, under great apprehensions of an embargo with himself. The vessels were arming rapidly under a supposed apprehension of a rupture with the United States. Mr. Pinckney, our late ambassador, had been summoned by the Directory to quit the Republic; that he went on receipt thereof for Holland; that the American character was treated in Paris with personal disrespect.
Previous to the sailing of the Chesapeake, capt. Wise was solicited for the passage of Mr. Monroe, who was to have left Paris about five days after his departure, for Bourdeaux; But the critical and very pressing situation of affairs between the American and French governments, would admit of no delay on the part of Captain Wise.
PHILADELPHIA, April 11.
The situation of affairs in Europe, becomes more and more critical. Every new arrival adds to our anxiety to learn the next news, so rapidly does the interest increase, as the political drama hastens to its denouement. The curtain seems now to be rising for the
last act. France having completely humbled her continental enemies, appears in good earnest to be turning her efforts towards proud Britain. The intelligence which we this day communicate, opens a new field for conjecture. The politician will have, in all probability, full time to indulge in it, as we cannot reasonably expect soon any arrival in a passage short enough to bring further intelligence.
Three hundred French transports, according to the accounts by the Orlando, made their appearance off Beachy Head on the 20th February, and then disappeared. We conjecture that this must have been the Grand Brest fleet going up the channel to form a junction with the fleets at Dunkirk, Bremen, and in the Scheldt—thence to strike a blow at the heart of their enemies, in their very metropolis.
It must be observed, that the Eastern coast of Britain, is most open to an attack from the French. It does not contain a single harbor in which the English fleet can lie in wait for their enemies, or find refuge in case of disaster, but the open road of Deal, which would give no protection to them, except against the elements. It offers various points at which a landing could be easily effected, and it is opposite and near to the French and Dutch coasts, which abound with secure harbors.
The Brest fleet, which we suppose made part of the 300 sail seen off Beachy Head, is said to consist of 32 sail of the line. The British force in the German Ocean is about ten sail, and their Grand Channel fleet (as it is called) consists of 15 ships of the line. This fleet sailed on the 2d of March from St. Helen's; but even if it were to form a junction with the Northern Sea fleet, in the way of which there are many obstacles, still the French would be an over match, even without their Dunkirk and Flushing reinforcements.
The landing of 1200 men in Wales, on the 24th of February, most probably was to spread an alarm in a direction opposite the points of real attack. It has produced more effect than they could possibly have hoped from it. It has given a mortal stab to the credit of the bank, and of consequence, cuts off the monied resources of government. The shock will be severely felt by the commerce of the country, and the confusion which the event must occasion, will greatly facilitate any operations which the French may undertake against the island. AURORA.
At the date of our last accounts from London, stocks were lower than they had ever been known before; 3 per cent. consols 52.
The latest accounts from Italy, by the Orlando, arrived at New-York, state, that Buonaparte had reached Loreto; but that the chief part of the treasures of that city were removed before his arrival.
The pope is said to have fled from Rome, of which city the French are supposed to be in possession.
GEORGETOWN, April 14.
Extract of a letter from New-York to Philadelphia, dated April 8.
"Referring to the papers of this day for particular European information, we have only to remark, that the account respecting the stoppage of the bank of England may strictly be depended on; and we find it difficult to conjecture what will be the result; we are, however, under serious apprehensions that innumerable bankruptcies in Europe, and a general suspension of confidence there, will take place. The American funds, it is supposed, will rise in England."
"The measures taken by the parliament on the business of the bank will be highly interesting, and will be received probably in a few days. The insurances from London to America after the 15th February will be twelve guineas per cent. The ship Hare from London to this port, with a valuable cargo is taken and carried into France, and the cargo will be no doubt condemned, on account of the insurance being made in London. We communicate this as interesting information to dry good merchants."
TAKEN up by the subscriber, living in Harrison county, at the mouth of Twin creek, one gray mare 3 years old, 13 hands high, has no brands appraised to 101.

LEXINGTON :
Wednesday, May 3, 2797.
A Paris paper says, an Austrian officer had been arrested at the advanced posts near the forteress, and conducted to Buonaparte. He affirmed that he was the bearer of no dispatches whatever: indeed the most exact search in his clothes, seemed to support his assertion; he swore he had not swallowed any paper; and laughed when he was threatened to have his belly ripped open in order to extirpate them from it; he then submitted to take an emetic which in a few minutes afterwards brought up the dispatches, supposed by Buonaparte, to be in the very hand writing of the Emperor, authorizing Wurmler, in the present posture of affairs, to surrender Mantua. The person who gave this detail assured, that he had in his hand, and read himself the identical paper.
FOURTH CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
AT THE SECOND SESSION Begun and held at the City of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, on Monday the fifth of December, one thousand seven hundred and ninety six.

MR. BRADFORD:
FROM the different reports that are going, I am induced to commit the following to your press—That is: On the 4th day of February last, as I was returning home from Georgetown in Scott county, with a sum of money of 175 dollars, I overtook a man on foot, on the road leading from said town to Grant's old station, in a place called the Humbug Orchard—he had a white linsey blanket, tied over his moulder, and his head tied up, which I discovered at some small distance, and by his carriage he appeared to me to be sick or ailing, for he walked but very slow, and as soon as I got against him in the road, he suddenly made a catch at my bridle, but missed it, and my horse being young it alarmed him so that he turned so soon around, that I was nearly down, and before I could recover, he got hold of my bridle, and then I saw that his face was covered as well as his head, with either a piece of white gauze, or a gauze hankerchief, I will not be certain which, I then expected what he was for, he drew a pistol on me and told me if I made any alarm he would shoot a ball through my body, and leave me a corpse on the spot; and I being a cripple was forced to yield to his cruelty, for I have never walked one step, for nearly thirteen years, he then led my horse about half a mile into the woods and there robbed me of 150 dollars and took my handkerchief and hat, and then sent me off: and by different reports that are now going, obliges me to contradict them, as I have here inserted the fact. Some say I got drunk and gamed my money away, others say I had a bond on Geo. Christey of Scott county, for £50, and he has never satisfied said bond and taken it in. I can inform the public that I was not drunk, nor did I game it away. As concerning the bond, I acknowledge that George Christey never took in his bond from me, nor paid it off. But Mr. John Hawkins and company Merchants in Georgetown contracted with me for it and have satisfied the same, or nearly. Also as report say, I have judged a good honest man of robbing me:—This I deny; for as the person was disguised, I suspected no particular person upon earth; for numbers have asked me if I had no idea of the robber, and I told them no. This I can prove; and with this good honest man would come forward, and I will give him ample satisfaction; for I know not his name or I would write to him in particular; and any person that saw me drunk that day would oblige me, to make it known; or any person that saw me gaming would make it known likewise, for I deny them both. Then I hope this good, honest man, will make his name known, and also the informers name and he will oblige me, JOHN JACOBS. Bourbon county, April 26, 1797.

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 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.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
ON M. DE LA FAYETTE.
Mourn, victim of oppression, mourn! Thy griefs tho' great must still be borne, The base, the vicious, are thy foes: In vain the virtuous few oppose, In vain they brave the sneer of scorn— Mourn, victim of oppression, mourn!  The dreary Olmetz mournful gloom, The horrors of its living tomb; The glim'ring lamp fix'd to the wall, The dripping damps which constant fall! All these, and more, must yet be borne— Mourn, victim of oppression, mourn!  The galling iron, the sliv'ring floor, The long-us'd straw spread thinly o'er, The waiting limbs which know no ease, The pang that speaks the heart's disease! All these, and more, must yet be borne— Mourn, victim of oppression, mourn!  Thy wife torn from thy bleeding side, Thy children's soothing charms deny'd, The cutting thought that each may share Those sufferings scarce thyself can bear! All these and more must yet be borne— Mourn, victim of oppression, mourn!  The insult of the vulgar mind, The last fare-well—to all mankind!— The sob which suffocates the brave, The silent death—the unknown grave! All this, by thee, must yet be borne— Mourn, victim of oppression, mourn!
ANECDOTE.
A veteran toper complained to the celebrated Doctor W. of Boston, that from long use of spirituous liquors, they palled upon his palate, and failed to exhilarate his spirits. The doctor, in a sportive mood, inquired if he had ever used aqua fortis, and recommended it to his patient, diluted with water. The toper immediately procured a quantity, which he first mixed with water, & then took it in its crude state; but in a few months the aqua fortis afforded him as little pleasure as common New England rum. Soon after the unfortunate tippler meeting the doctor in the street, addressed him thus—"Doctor, the aqua fortis won't do, can't you give me something stronger; do dear doctor, for the love of grog, let me have a little aqua fortis."

From a report, that he has got more mares than he can cover, I find that gentlemen are afraid that the chance for getting colts will not be good—I do therefore hereby inform the public, that Union has turned off his mares this spring as fast as he has done since he has covered in this district, and if gentlemen will rightly consider, he must be the surest horse in the district, as he covers but four mares a day, and I know he is better kept than any other horse.
