He is a fiddler, a bold insolent fellow and fond of drink, about 24 years old, large & strong made, has a fresh scar on his left foot occasioned by the cut of an ax, the wound was not cured when he left home. It is likely he will be lurking about Lexington, as he has a brother in the possession of Col. Hart of that place, he also has acquaintances at and near Madison and Shelby court houses.

BOSTON, July 13.
Town Meeting on the Treaty.
The commercial treaty between the United States and the British nation as agreed to by Mr. Jay, having been made public by Mr. Mason one of the Senators from Virg.—the citizens of this town after having perused the same, and finding that the commerce of this country and almost every privilege as a free, sovereign and independent nation, had been surrendered to the British, could not refrain from expressing their disapprobation of the instrument. A petition was handed to the select men, signed by a number of respectable and independent citizens, requesting them to call a meeting to know the sentiments of the inhabitants on this important question.
On Friday last the citizens accordingly assembled—consisting of about fifteen hundred persons. The merchants, tradesmen, and other citizens, formed the assembly, and after choosing the hon. Thomas Dawes, for Moderator, they proceeded to consider the subject on which they were called together.
After reading the petition, doct. Jarvis opened the meeting, by observing that the crisis was important—that the happiness and future tranquility of this country were in a great measure hazarded on the principles involved in the treaty—if it was ratified the commerce of the United States must eventually fall a sacrifice to the embarrassments of the British—that no reciprocity was contemplated in any article, and that it was an insidious plan on the part of the British to injure our allies the French, and might involve this country in a war with that powerful Republic. The doctor repeatedly paused and called on the citizens to shew in what instance the United States could be benefited by the adoption?
At length he was answered by Mr. J. Hall, who did not pretend to vindicate any part of the treaty, but only observed as to the propriety and constitutionality of the town acting on the subject—that we had constituted the respective departments of the government, and that it was our duty to suppose that they had acted from the best evidence before them, for the interest of the United States.
Doctor Jarvis and Mr. J. Blake, replied to his objections by advocating the right of the people, more especially of a town in their corporate capacity, to assemble to express their sentiments on all matters in which their interest was concerned—that by the constitution this privilege was allowed them, and that it was an inherent principle in a free government, for the people to exercise this right. They adverted to the calling the people together to approve the president's proclamation for impartial neutrality, and retorted, that those persons who were secretly and openly opposed to this meeting, were some of the very persons who called the town together on that occasion. That if the people then had a right to approve, they now had an equal right to disapprove; more especially as a treaty was an instrument of that nature, that when it was ratified, it could not be set aside by the legislature, which was the only security the people had in case of legislative acts being disapproved of by them. That there was no doubt but that the opinion of the people on this subject, would be agreeable to the President; for as he acted for the general interest, he could not be displeased at their expressing their sentiments on so interesting a question.
Mr. Hall again observed, that if that meeting was not altogether unconstitutional, it would at least look like an attempt to controul the doings of the executive; it would
(if he might be allowed the expression) be "unsenatorizing the senate."
Doctor Jarvis in reply said, that the observation of the gentleman was not strictly true—How could the proceedings of this town "unsenatorize the senate?"—Will not the senators at the next congress assemble as usual, notwithstanding the meeting of this town?—They were elected by the people, but they could not be broken by them—But, says the doctor, (with an expression that would have done honor to a Cicero) I fear that if the opinion of that gentleman prevails, it will "unpopularize the people."
A motion was made to read the treaty, but it was observed that as it had been so universally read by the citizens, it would be a needless delay of the business. The subject was accordingly considered at large, and most of the articles were observed on, and proved to the satisfaction of the audience, that it was ruinous and destructive to the commerce, rights, and interest of this country.
The question was then called for, and put by the moderator, whether the citizens of the town approved of the treaty? not a single hand appeared in favor of it! but when the negative was called for, a cloud of near fifteen hundred hands were displayed in the hall.
The spirit and order of the meeting was as great as ever appeared on any former interesting subject.
The hon. judge Dawes, judge Tudor, William Copper, and Dr. Eustace, spoke in terms most unequivocal and decidedly against the treaty, and of the propriety of the meeting. In fact there seemed but one mind on the subject—unanimity prevailed in condemning the treaty in all its parts. The only question was the right of acting, and this was the objection of but one man—but the people felt themselves degraded in the suggestion, and spurned with a manly indignity, at the revival of a sentiment agitated during our struggles against the arbitrary measures of George the third.
A committee of fifteen gentlemen were appointed to report their reasons in writing, which led to the disapprobation of the treaty, viz.—
Charles Jarvis. Thomas Dawes, William Tudor, Benjamin Austin jun. William Little, Thomas Wallely, William Cooper, Nathaniel Fellows, Samuel Brown, Stephen Gorham, John Sweetzer, Perez Morton, William Eustace, George Blake, and Joseph Blake, jun.
The town meeting was accordingly adjourned to Monday (this day) at ten o'clock.
It is requested that a general attendance will be given this day, to hear the report of the committee.
CHARLESTON, July 9.
Capt Dickenson who arrived here yesterday from Savannah, informs us, that before he left it, a person had arrived from St. Mary's who brought a letter dated 30th of June from a gentleman in Amelia, which mentioned that on that day, capt. Lang would march with his whole force, against Augustine, except the detachment he left at the fort established at Amelia, that they had taken all the Spanish scouts and out posts, likewise a quantity of cattle and provisions, and were extremely well supplied. They had likewise taken the Spanish col. Howard.
Capt. Dickenson informs likewise, that there was a report in Savannah that a party of American soldiers who were escorting the indian chiefs on their return from Savannah to their nation; had deserted Mr. Seagrove and their officers and joined captain Lang's party in the expedition against Augustine.
The person who brought the
letters to Savannah, had 200 head of cattle which he was driving for sale to Augustine, but meeting capt. Lang's party and being informed that he might proceed at his pleasure, but would get nothing for his property, declined going, and on having offers of purchase from capt. Lang, accepted them for the cattle.
Capt. Lang was confined eleven months in the dungeon in Augustine, on suspicion of his being concerned in the undertaking to raise men in this state for the French Republic; no proof during this time, being found against him, he was liberated. Hurt at his ill usage, he obtained a French commission and has occasioned a revolt throughout East Florida, which Spanish lassitude will find a difficulty in suppressing.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at St. Mary's, to his friend in Savannah, June 30.
"On my arrival yesterday, I found that the several families who had been drove from East Florida last fall by that government, had lately returned there under the influence of the tri colored flag, to which the people are flocking from every part of the province; in short, they are in a complete state of revolt. A captain Lang commands at present the republicans; he has taken the greater part of the Spanish scout, all the active spies in the employ of the old government, a large number of beef cattle, and other public provisions; and I have no doubt but that, in the course of three or four days, they will have full possession of the whole province, except the garrison of St. Augustine. Lang was a Spanish subject, and a captain of their militia, but had been confined in the dungeon of Augustine for eleven months, on suspicion of being favorable to the French government: he made his escape from confinement and is now at the head of the revolt: he has marched this day with the greater part of his force for St. Augustine: he has left a guard at Old Town Bluff, where they are erecting a garrison for the protection of the port of St. Mary's. I am just now returned from visiting them, which I did for the purpose of collecting their views and their prospects; they assured me that they had the strongest assurances of ample support, that they had already received considerable supplies. I cannot pretend to say what influence this affair will have on the affairs of our country, but it will effectually close my commercial views with that province."
Extract of a letter from St. Augustine, to a gentleman in this city, dated 29th June, 1795.
"We are badly situated here; but for fear the letter may be stopped and perused, I dare not tell you the various alarms some are under. Poor capt. Hervieux is close shut up in a dungeon, and all his men; and I fancy it will require some spirited exertions of the French consul to get them liberated, if death does not do it without. We have all been sick, owing chiefly, I believe, to having nothing but a little very bad beef to live upon."
The person who received the above letter, says, he has indubitable information, that a large majority of the people in St. Augustine, and the two Florida, are much dissatisfied with the Spanish government, and will undoubtedly succeed in their attempt to throw it off, if they are supported by the French with any degree of spirit.
PHILADELPHIA, July 25. Extract of a letter from New-York, dated July 20th.
"I attended the town meeting on Saturday last, one of about 3 or 4000.—Messrs. A. Hamilton and R. King headed the treaty phalanx, composed chiefly of tories, but tho
every exertion had been made to muster them in full force, the republicans, the enemies of the treaty and of British measures and influence, were by much the most numerous, indeed near ten to one. The toad-eaters of administration had had a private meeting the evening before, to concert a plan to defeat the object of the meeting; but they failed. Mr. Hamilton who was their champion at the Federal hall, (Mr. King being bottle-holder,) endeavoured several times to make himself heard, but as soon as the people understood the drift of his several motions, they drowned his voice in hisses. He moved, that the citizens assembled should retire to a church to discuss the business thoroughly. You must be sensible that if this motion had succeeded, the intention of the meeting must have been defeated, as a body of 4000 industrious citizens could not be expected to attend a discussion which must necessarily have been so lengthy. It was observed, very justly by Mr. Brockholts Livingston, that it was fairly presumable that the citizens assembled had read the treaty and the pieces discussing it in the papers, and had made up their minds on the subject, and that they assembled not to discuss but give an opinion. The motion fell. Mr. P. R. Livingston moved, that the sense of the meeting should immediately be taken as to the treaty by dividing those in favor of the treaty to the left, and those against it to the right; but the motion was not put by the chair. Part of the opposers of the treaty went off to the battery and burnt the treaty before the Government House. During their absence Mr. Hamilton endeavoured again to make himself heard, but in vain, the Republicans were still too powerful. He moved a resolution, in substance as follows: That the meeting conceived it inexpedient to express an opinion on the treaty, as they had full confidence in the patriotism and wisdom of the Senate and President. The people would not hear it with patience, and Mr. H. and his party moved off the field. I was sorry to observe two stones thrown at him and his coadjutors prominent actors in a self-created meeting?
The friends of the treaty assembled under a tree in the battery, and agreed that they would counter-petition, and now by this means we shall know who is who?—The general meeting appointed a committee to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the town: They this day report."
Lexington, August 22.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Joseph Keller to the Printer hereof.
"Governor St. Clair having taken my deposition, requested me to send the substance thereof to you for the information of the public:
"On Tuesday the 11th of August, I was fired on by a party of Indians, in the Fallen Timber, on this side fort St. Clair, on my way to Greenville. I escaped their fire, but immediately fell into their hands—They took me some distance from the road, stripped me naked & took from me my clothes, faddle-bags, cloak, money to the amount of 1 hundred dollars and 2 receipts for 461. cash, paid at Greenville; also a horse I was leading, the property of Robert Carr, with all his clothes (he being some distance behind me escaped them) —After some abuse, they held a council and set me at liberty."
COMMUNICATION.
It certainly affords pleasure to every friend of France and of Liberty, to observe the general indignation which Jay's infamous treaty has excited in the bosoms

of the Free Men of Kentucky. It may, perhaps, be safely asserted that the citizens of this State (their Senators only excepted) unanimously reprobate the disgraceful measure, and would join in any remonstrance expressive of their disapprobation. Since the ever memorable declaration of Independence, no question has so agitated the minds, and united the sentiments and wishes of the American People.—That the inhabitants of the Western country should be roused to the highest pitch of indignation is not at all surprising.—They have long seen the murdering tomahawk committing unrelenting cruelties on their defenceless inhabitants, and have been fully convinced that British influence impelled the Savage to the field. The present pleasing prospect of peace will vanish, and the bloody scene we have so long witnessed will re-commence, unless vigorous measures are adopted instead of the present humiliating treaty.—But have we not every thing to hope from the wisdom and firmness of our Executive? Have we not a right to expect that he will give us an additional proof of his patriotism, by rejecting a measure so ruinous and disgraceful.
From the ARGUS .
Citizen Greenleaf,
I read in a London paper, The Times, 28th April, a paragraph to the following purport:
“We cannot expect to hear any thing from America respecting the treaty made by Mr. Jay, for some time. We have no doubt however but that it will be ratified, as twenty-one of the Senate decidedly in favour, two are doubtful, and seven are expected to vote, against it. “Quere. How comes it that the secrets of the Senate are better known in England than in America.”
