LEXINGTON:—PRINTED BY J. BRADFORD, ON MAIN STREET, WHERE SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE RECEIVED AT 15/ PER ANNUM.
To the Patrons of Literature.
HAVING with infinite concern observed the little attention that is paid to the instruction of youth in the grammatical principals of the English language, in most of our schools both in town and country; I find after the most accurate enquiry into the state of the case, and deliberate investigation of the subject, that this enormous neglect must be principally attributed to the manner in which this fundamental and indispensably necessary science has hitherto been treated.
There are indeed a few systems extant which merit a considerable degree of esteem; but these being originally designed for young men who have been initiated in classical studies, are consequently unfit for the information of the ignorant, and entirely above the capacities of children.
The majority of treatises which have been heretofore published on this subject, are written in such a latinized, prolix & circumlocutory style, that they are almost (if not altogether) unintelligible, not only to pupils, but also to teachers who have never been favored with a liberal education: As for those few more Philanthropic writers, who have condescended to write for general information, they have done it in so loose, superficial and unsystematic a manner, that their performances are utterly inadequate to answer the end proposed.
In order therefore to remove these difficulties—clear all obstructions from the way of the learner, and in a word, render all persons inexcusable who will not acquaint themselves with the constituent principles of their Mother tongue, I propose publishing a concise and comprehensive little system, equally free from an unnecessary prolixity and an abstruse brevity: My whole ambition being to merit the approbation and encouragement of my fellow-citizens, by endeavoring to promote a more general diffusion of grammatical knowledge amongst all classes, and particularly those who may not have an opportunity of learning the grammar of other languages.

I have appointed Mr. Thomas Carneal my agent in Kentucky to receive and forward all communication. as aforesaid, alluded to above. As the want of a legal representative since the death of Mr. May, has obstructed all operations relative to his transactions and no doubt to the injury of many, I now intreat that all persons concerned may bring forward their business immediately.

Mr. BRADFORD:
To acquire and to secure titles to land, is what at present naturally and necessarily engages the attention of the citizens of Kentucky. To make bona fide purchasers and actual settlers as secure as possible without injuring those who may have other titles to the same lands—Or otherwise stating it—How far, under our compact with Virginia, and consistent with our constitution, we can compel claimants to step forward and assert their rights or be forever barred by non-claim, is the subject I have a desire to enquire into. The American motto was, Let every man mind his own business. —The Kentucky motto should be nearly the same: Let every man mind his own business , because no species of property deserves or requires more attention; because if he does not, some one will be sure to suffer, and it is most reasonable that of two or more claimants, where one is an innocent purchaser and in actual possession of a legal right, that he or they should suffer who have shown the most indifference and neglect. What is the situation of this country? Claim upon claim asserted, & latent claims springing up! No purchaser can say he is secure however prudent he has been in securing the warranty. How many families have sought this asylum? moved from unfruitful to fertile lands, in order to secure to their offspring a more promising inheritance? and can any one say assuredly to his children, when I am gone this will be yours?
He who makes these remarks, Mr. Bradford, (made indeed by every one) is not puffed up with the idea, that he has found a cure for the evil; a few queries shall be first stated, in hopes that they may draw into public attention, the thoughts and opinions of more penetrating heads, and more able writers—the subject deserves it,—but if no such one appears, I promise, in some of your future publications, to continue in answer—
1st. The compact with Virginia, speaks to this amount—“That all private rights and interests of land within this state, derived from the laws of Virginia, prior to our separation, shall remain valid and secure under the laws of this state, and shall be determined by the laws now existing in Virginia.” Quere.—Is the expression, laws now existing to be understood the Statute laws of Virginia only, or every law existing or acknowledged by the Virginians to exist in their state, concerning the rights & interests of land?
2d. Was there ever an instance, or (if there was not) could a present citizen of Virginia levy a FINE on land, and bar all who did not, within five years, put in and assert their claims, infants &c. excepted—and (if this is answered in the affirmative) why not a citizen of Kentucky?
3d. If Fines could be levied, what good effects would such proceedings procure to the bona fide purchaser, or to the citizens at large? Would they be so salutary as to induce us to apply to the state of Virginia, if we cannot adopt them under the laws existing in Virginia?
4th. What reasonable objection (in case application was made) could the Virginians have to our passing some law respecting non claim, or shortening the acts of limitation?
There is nothing, sir, more agreeable to a writer, conscious of his weakness, than to screen himself behind a bulwark of queries. If he does so with unfeigned apprehensions, a candid and generous observer, will lead him forth by the hand, and administer consolation; but if no such friend appears, and he afterwards ventures forth, he need not be afraid of being laughed at.—But I am in hopes some one will in pity relieve.
I am, sir, your hble. servt.
CAMILLUS.
Mr. John Bradford.
Ingratitude is a crime so shameful, that the man was never yet found who would acknowledge himself guilty of it.
NOTICE is hereby given, that I shall, on Saturday, the fifth day of November next, attend, with the commissioners appointed by the court of Franklin county, at the mouth of Gilbert's creek, (sometimes called Bailey's run) in the said county, then and there to take the depositions of witnesses to prove the special place called for in an entry of two thousand one hundred and fifty acres, made in the name of John Marshall.

BARMEN, NEAR ELBERFELDT, June 20.
Extract from the official details sent by the Count de Neffeldt.
They fought for four successive days on the Lahn. The course of that river is in some degree impeded by the quantity of dead bodies which have floated down the stream, and are collected in heaps. The Republicans were constantly repulsed, and at last completely beaten. Those who were stationed in the vicinity of Ehrenbreitstein have passed the Rhine at Nieuweid; Le Fevre's division towards Bonn, & gen. Kleber's head-quarters were yesterday at Mulheim, near Cologne. The arch-duke Charles appears firmly resolved not to leave a Frenchman on this side of the Rhine. They write from Frankfort, that a resolution to this effect has been formally announced.
ESSEN, June 21.
All the particulars which have been received of the retreat of the French are confirmed from various quarters, as you will see by the bulletin annexed. A general consternation prevails at Dusseldorf, and in all the neighboring places. Several persons arrived here yesterday, who had already escaped from thence, they all agree that the loss of the French is incalculable. Sixty barges have been sent down the Rhine to Cologne, full of wounded men. A number of cannon has been placed on the ramparts of Dusseldorf.
The garden of the courts, and the house of the master of the hounds, which is next to it, with several other buildings, are already marked for demolition. It is pretended, that the head-quarters of the French will be established there this day.
June 22, in the morning.
A letter from the Sieg, written the night before the last, at midnight, informs us, that the French are routed; that the Austrians have fought them every day since the 15th with great advantage; and that, from a heavy cannonade which had been heard, they are now in the environs of Siegbourg. The whole army of the arch duke, as well as the right wing of Wurmsur's, are on this side of the Rhine. The generals Lefevre and Daupoul, have been wounded; the brother of the former is killed.
A letter from Frankfort, of the 19th informs us, that the Austrians took possession of Nieuweid the evening before they had time to gain the enemy's bridges before Nieuweid; of course, the enemy must immediately direct their force to Dusseldorf. Two hundred waggons belonging to the French have fallen into the hands of our brave troops. The retreat and rout are complete.
June 22, in the afternoon.
Yes sir, the retreat is absolute, and the rout complete; every thing confirms this. The accounts from Dusseldorf, Dusseldorf, Keczofg, Elberfeldt, &c. all agree on this point. The following is an extract from a letter to me, written at Dusseldorf yesterday evening:—So, my good friend, instead of repairing to Frankfort, our army is returning hither! The engineers are arrived to complete the fortified camp of Dusseldorf, and to pull down, and level with the ground, every thing that stands in their way. General Kleber is bringing back his head-quarters to this place, and a reinforcement of two divisions of the army of the North, has received orders to march hither with all possible expedition. The battle of Uckaroth, which took place on Sunday, was most destructive; blood was made to flow in copious streams. Two divisions extremely reduced, are still on this side of the Rhine; the rest have passed that river, and hastened to strengthen the right wing.
COLOGNE, June 21,
The papers of to-day will give you a great deal of intelligence; but they will not tell you all, not even that of which we have occasional demonstration. All the French allowed that the battle of Uckaroth was more destructive than that of Flurus. The retreat is complete. A great deal of baggage has passed through this town, and barges full of wounded men are constantly arriving. Gen. Cotta is dead as well as the brother of Gen. Lefevre: Kleber and Lefevre are slightly
wounded. Our attention is at present fixed upon the Hundstruck. The flying bridge has not been in motion since this morning. It is said that the Austrians are on the opposite side of the river, and that they have even entered Mulheim.
LIMBOURG, June 20.
In the evening of the eighteenth, the Arch-Duke Charles left Hachenbourg. We believe that his headquarters were yesterday at Altenkirchen.
General Wartenflecken left Freylen-gen at twelve o'clock yesterday.
We learn at this instant, that a very serious action took place yesterday between Weyerbach and Uckaroth; it terminated entirely in favor of the Austrians. The enemy made a most vigorous resistance, but were at length obliged to yield to the bravery and effort of our troops. One of its columns having been turned and surrounded, a part was killed, and the rest taken prisoners.
WESEL, June 22—(in the evening.)
The report of the retreat of the French is fully confirmed. The army of the Sambre and the Meuse will have its head-quarters at Dusseldorf. Jourdan's head-quarters are at Andernach. The first Austrian parties were seen at Denz, Opposite Cologne, at break of day of the twelfth.

Jourdan, commander in chief of the army of the Sambre and Meuse, to the Executive directory.
"CITIZEN DIRECTORS,
"I have the honor to inform you, that, that part of the army which was to retreat to Nieuweid, passed the river the day before yesterday in the greatest order, and without losing a single man, though in the presence of six regiments of the enemy's cavalry and of several battalions of infantry, supported by twelve pieces of cannon. The enemy endeavored to destroy the bridge by two rafts, which they launched against it; the first without breaking it entirely, so far deranged it, required several hours to re-establish it; but this was soon done by the zeal, activity, and talents of Citizen Trilet, captain of artillery, who commanded the workmen on the bridge; the second raft was stopped before it reached the bridge.
"While the bridge was repairing, the army took a position on the Synbach; whence it resumed its march in the greatest order; the retreat was covered by the cavalry and two battalions of the thirtieth half-brigade, under the command of Brigadier Arnaud.—These two battalions and the third regiment of light horse, led by Colonel Grosjean, distinguished themselves by the coolness and precision which they displayed in their manoeuvres, which were executed under the fire of the enemy's artillery. At length, at eleven at night, that part of the bridge of Nieuweid, which extends over the right branch of the Rhine, was restored without accident.
"General Kleber, who was retreating on the Sieg, was yesterday attacked in the post of Ukeradt, at two in the morning. The enemy's attack was so sudden, that he deemed it less dangerous, to risk a battle, than to continue his retreat. He therefore made the necessary dispositions, and marched against the assailants, he even beat back the heads of the enemy's first column, but perceiving a considerable force, particularly in cavalry, advancing on his two flanks, he returned to his first position, and there maintained himself.
"The action ceased at three in the afternoon. The general was to resume his march in the night, to gain the lines of Dusseldorf. During our retreat, several partial actions took place, the particulars of which I cannot send you, as I have not received them; but our troops invariably displayed both courage and skill, and not a single post was forced, so that our retreat was conducted with the greatest order.
"I cannot Citizen Directors, sufficiently praise the courage, coolness and perseverance of the troops, who fought for three days and pursued their march in the night; neither stragglers nor fugitives were to be seen never did the army appear to greater advantage than during the retreat; And this is the time to judge of the
conduct both of officers and privates. The general officers merit the highest commendations; by their talents their courage, and the precision with which they executed my orders; they confirmed the courage of the soldier, and inspire him with that confidence which avails itself.
"Health and respect,
"JOURDAN."
Army of the Rhine and Moselle.
Haußman, Commissary of the government to the Executive Directory.
"Strasburg, June 23, 11 in the morning.
"Your orders are executed. The army passed the Rhine this morning at two o'clock. Kehl is our own, with all its formidable batteries. Generals Defaix, Beaupou, and Fernio are pursuing the enemy with vigor. The action still continues. A great extent of territory, and a number of villages are already occupied by our troops. The enemy is quite stupified by an attack as warm as it was unexpected. From five to six hundred prisoners already taken, with several caissons and pieces of cannon.
"It is not possible to bestow sufficient commendation on the bravery of the army, on the precision and particularly on the discretion with which the business was conducted. Yesterday morning thirty thousand men were in the environs of Strasburg, and nobody knew their real destination. At Nieustadt, it was supposed, yesterday morning the head quarters were going to Turkheim, when they were directing their march to Strasburg. From such unanimity every thing is to be expected.
"I have just left the commander in chief, as he was passing the Rhine. He will send off an extraordinary courier to night with farther particulars of this glorious expedition.
"Health and greeting.
"W. HAUSSMAN."
We have at this time fifty-two thousand men in Suabia: the army of Conde is exposed to the greatest danger and its retreat appears to be cut off.
We are assured, that at the instigation of the Chevalier Azzara, Envoy from the King of Spain, the Duke of Parma has been comprised in the treaty of peace between Spain and France Consequently the French will restore the contributions which the Duke has paid, or at least will not insist on the payment of that part of them which remains unpaid.
It is believed that the Chevalier Azzara has already signed the preliminaries of peace in the Pope's name. One of the most curious clauses in this treaty is that by which the Holy Father undertakes to put a stop to schism which exists between the churches of France and Rome. On the other hand the Ani des Loix affirms that our troops are marching to Rome.
The Observer of the South also announces, that General Rusca, at the head of a French column, has marched to Leghorn, and must have reached that place before this; that Massena directs the siege of Mantua; and that Espinoy commands at Milan.

NEW-YORK, August 9.
TOUGH STORY
Yesterday morning it was reported with confidence, and generally believed until noon, that the Republican frigate Concord had been taken by the British frigate Thetis, and a variety of particulars related to render it plausible; but it has been discovered to have been the lie of the day, circulated by those whose wishes correspond with the lie—probably for the purpose of wounding the feelings of the friends of that gallant nation, the French Republic. Our last accounts from the Concord were, that she was at a distance, and of the Thetis, that she was cruising on the American coast in company with the Prevoyante and Hussan, for the purpose of waylaying some unwary coalers, or other property of the American citizens, agreeably to treaty, to be adjudicated at Halifax, Bermuda, New-Providence, or some other British receptacle of stolen goods.

ARCHIBALD CLINTON.

Lexington, October 1.
The Sun of the 6th of July, under the head of 'Private correspondence,' and under dates from Essen, Bonn, &c. of the nineteenth, twentieth, twenty-first and twenty-second, swells with many words and much rejoicing, the accounts of the actions that had taken place between Le Fevre and Kray, of which we have given an abstract from the English official account. The names of generals are kept out of view in this 'private correspondence' and some confusion is introduced in the dates, which might lead the reader on a superficial view to suppose they related to actions subsequent to the 19th. But the silence of the Sun in this respect of the 7th and 8th, and the 11th, prove that the French have retreated to Dusseldorf quietly enough.
By this retreat the Austrians are drawn considerably to the north; and we find, that Moreau is crossing the Rhine at Kiel, whither the Austrians must press forward (if they will to prevent the French from penetrating into the heart of their dominions) leaving the northern parts of their territory exposed.

AS the scheme of a Lottery in the town of Paris and county of Bourbon, for raising the sum of 2801 dollars for opening the navigation of the South fork of Licking river, published in the Kentucky Gazette; would subject the Managers to be accountable for one third of the tickets which might be in their hands at the commencement of the drawing, agreeable to the scheme published—The Managers have therefore resolved, that the drawing of the said lottery shall not commence until the whole of the tickets can be disposed of.
By order of the Board. AMOS EDWARDS, C. B. Courbon August 6, 1796.

ISRAEL HUNT, BOOT & SHOE MANUFACTURER.
RESPECTFULLY informs the Public in general, and his friends in particular, that he has commenced business in all its various branches, on Cross street, one door from Main street. He flatters himself from his experience and attention, to far excel any in this place. He has furnished himself with a few excellent workmen, together with some of the best materials that can be produced.
He wants six or eight mere good Journeymen, (and none other need apply) to whom generous wages will be given; also one or two apprentices.
Lexington, October 1, 1796.
SCHEME OF A LOTTERY For raising the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars, for the purpose of erecting a DUCK and LINEN MANUFACTORY in Georgetown. In three Classes—4000 Dollars by the first, and 3000 the two last.
CLASS THE FIRST.
  1 Prize of 2000 Dol. is 2000 Dol.   1 1000 2000   3 400 1200   1 300 300   6 200 1200   20 100 1000   240 50 1200   800 12 4800   695 6 9600   2 of 200 dollars each being } 1 for the first and 1 for the last drawn ticket, } 4172   1779 Prizes. 400   3555 Blanks. 26670 
5334 Tickets, at 5 Dollars each is 26670 Subject to a discount of Fifteen per Centum.
AS every encouragement ought to be given to manufactures in this state, this in particular claims the attention of the public. The many advantages which will arise from manufacturing Duck, must be so forcibly striking to every man of reflection, that the managers think it unnecessary to enlarge on the subject; and the liberal principle upon which the scheme is founded (not two blanks to a prize) will, exclusive of that encouragement, justify the speculative adventurer upon principles of gain. The managers therefore flatter themselves that they will meet with such encouragement in the sales of the tickets as will in a short time justify their appointing and giving public notice when the drawing of the lottery will commence.
Tickets may be had by applying in Lexington to Messrs. John Bradford and Alexander McGregor, in Frankfort to Mr. George Madison, in Versailles to Doctor Preston, or to
 J. GRANT,  W. HENRY, Managers.  J. HAWKINS. 
Any person purchasing 20 tickets, shall have a credit until the Lottery is drawn.

EPITAPH On a HERMIT.
FOR years upon a mountain's brow, A Hermit liv'd the Lord knows how; A robe and sackcloth did he wear, And get his food, the Lord knows where; Hardships and patience were his lot, He often pray'd, the Lord knows what; At length this holy man did die, And left the world, the Lord knows why; He's bury'd in this gloomy den, And will arise the Lord knows when.
ANECDOTE.
A gentleman being on horseback, his servant who was on foot, in stroking the horse's buttocks, received a kick: he then aimed a stone at the horse, and hit his master on the back, which made him turn about and ask his man what was the matter? "Your horse, sir," says he, holding one of his legs, "has lamed me." "Aye," says his master, "he is very unruly, for he has kicked me on the back, and 'tis well he missed my head."
