LEXINGTON; Printed by JOHN BRADFORD, at his Office on Main Street; where Subscriptions, (at Fifteen Shillings per Annum) Advertisements &c. are thankfully received, and Printing in its different branches done with care and expedition.
RULES of PROCEEDING in the COURT of APPEALS. (Concluded from our last.)
32. Where waste is committed on any land, concerning which a suit is depending in this Court, the party who considers himself to be injured by such waste, may, upon giving the opposite party reasonable notice of the time and place of doing the same, proceed to take Affidavits to prove such waste, and the Court on producing such Affidavits and on motion, will make such order therein as shall be agreeable to equity and justice.
33. At any time during the same Term, in which facts are ascertained by the verdict of a Jury, the Court will, on good cause to them shown, and where it shall appear to them to be necessary for the attainment of substantial justice, order the facts so found, to be set aside, and a new Jury to be summoned for the finding of facts. But on every such motion, the Court will determine on its propriety by the rules established in Courts of law and equity for the granting of new trials; and will also subject the party praying it, to such terms as the justice of the case may require.
34. At any time during the same Term, in which a decree is given, the Court will, on motion, supported by a certificate from two Attorneys belonging to the Court, that they verily think there is error in the Decree, in the instances enumerated in the certificate, order a re-hearing of the cause, in which such Decree was given; but such re-hearing shall only extend to such matters in the said Decree as are assigned for error in the said certificate; unless the opposite party shall, at the time of granting such re-hearing, assign errors in other parts of the said Decree; in which case such matters so assigned for error, shall also be considered as open at the re-hearing; or the Court will, at their discretion, open the Decree altogether, so that the whole matter may be fully re-heard. In every case of a motion for a re-hearing, the Court will lay the party praying it under such terms as the justice of the case may make necessary. No new testimony shall be allowed to be produced on any such re-hearing. Every cause directed to be re-heard shall be set to some early day, in the next Term, such day to be fixed by the Court at the time of granting such re-hearing.
The following Rules shall be observed in cases of abatements caused by the death of any of the parties.
1. When the death of the Complainant is suggested on the record, on the motion of his legal Repre-
sentative the suit shall be revived in his name. Where there are more Complainants than one, on the death of either of them, the suit shall be revived in the name of his legal Representative in the same manner as if there had been but one; unless the claim in contest shall survive to the surviving Complainants, or some of them, in which case it shall be sufficient to suggest the death on the record, and the suit shall afterwards be carried on in the name of the surviving Complainant or Complainants.
2. On the death of the Defendant, or of one of them, the same being suggested on the record, on the motion of the Complainant, the suit shall be revived against his legal Representative, and a Subpoena shall be issued for him, returnable to the next return day; except where there are several Defendants, and the claim in contest shall survive to one or more of them, in which cases it shall be sufficient to suggest the death on the record, and afterwards to proceed against the surviving Defendant or Defendants.
3. Where any such legal representative shall reside out of the State, the Court will on motion, direct the manner in which notice of the order of Court shall be given to him.
4. After a suit shall be revived, as is above directed, and the Subpoena (where the legal Representative of a dead Defendant has been directed to be summoned) shall be returned executed, the same proceedings shall be had therein as if no such abatement had taken place. Which proceedings, shall be thereafter carried on in the name of the parties to the suit as they may stand after such Reviver: But no Bill of Reviver shall be necessary. Where no Answer shall be put into the Original Bill, before the death of the Defendant, the new Defendant shall answer it; and the Complainant, at the time the order is obtained for making him a Defendant, may add any supplemental matter, which he may think necessary to be answered by such Defendant. In which last case or where the Original Defendant had not answered the Bill, a copy of such supplemental matter, or of such Bill, or of both, as the case may be, shall be issued by the Clerk with the Subpoena, as is directed above in the case of an Original Bill.
Mr. Bradford.
I AM very sorry when our Government is scarcely begun, to find so many people endeavouring to set us against it.
A Citizen in your paper of the 16th of June last, abuses the Constitution and makes it give the Court of Appeals two or three times as much jurisdiction as it really has. He then makes
that Court give a wrong judgment against a man, who immediately runs mad, and shoots or stabs the first person he meets. What could be the Citizen's design by this inflaming language! or what could he expect? If it was noticed at all; it would naturally have one of these two consequences; either to raise the people up in opposition to the Government at its beginning; or to procure a law or Ordinance to prevent persons from carrying guns or daggers into Courts or Assemblies. I think the Citizen might as well have left out that irritating part of his performance. I guess he has got nothing by it.
In your paper of the 25th of August comes Coriolanus , abusing the Governor for his Speech at the opening of the first session of Assembly, which every one else highly approved: he also blamed him for appointing one or two more Officers on one side of the Kentucky river than on the other. Unfortunate SHELBY, that thou shouldst be destined to govern a Country, through which runs a deep river, which did not exactly divide our best men! — But as the second best men happened all to be on the North side of the river, and as the Governor has made them his second choice, I hope every body even Coriolanus himself will now rest satisfied on that head.
Next comes Philo . — One would hardly expect from such a name that the Author's heart was fraught with so much spite and mischief as to try to stimulate the people (as soon as the Court of Appeals shall begin to operate) to pull one of its officers out by the heels. This mans name seems to fit him just as well as a Sheep-skin would fit a Wolf.
I was in hopes, after my fellow citizens had treated these Authors with the neglect they deserved that we should have rested in quiet until the rulers of our Country had acted so as to give us cause to complain; but I find in your paper of the 12th instant, there comes a HERALD with his mouth open, puffing and blowing, as if the Devil was in him, to tell us that every joint, limb, nerve and member of our new Government was out of place.
What can this Herald mean, does he wish to frighten us out of the country! or to deter others from coming in: or does he wish to run us all distracted because every thing in our infant state cannot be set right at the beginning? I am afraid this man has neither sense nor goodness; I am well satisfied he has not both, or he would never have raised such a blast without he had better news to tell, or more to our purpose — To make us uneasy must have been his sole aim, for every man of common sense must know that in our present situation, better arrangements could not have taken place.
Was I a Herald, I should proclaim thus.
"To all whom it may concern, "Know ye, that the legislature of Kentucky on examining the state of her finances, have found it absolute-
ly necessary to fix the salaries of her public officers so low that they cannot afford to maintain themselves and families in a Town; nor indeed is it necessary, as the business of the Government is but just beginning, no money in the Treasury; few accounts to audit, and but little business for the Governor, Secretary or Attorney except at certain stated times. — The Governor commonly resides at his seat near the Knob lick, the Treasurer in Lincoln, the Auditor in Mercer, the Register mostly at Lexington: but the Governor and Secretary meet as often as is necessary for public business. The superior courts meet in Lexington; not from any consideration of public convenience (for Danville or Harrodsburg would have done full as well) but merely out of compassion to the people of Lexington. The commissioners for fixing the seat of government have wisely fixed on Frankfort. The next Assembly is to meet there, where it is thought they will be as commodiously entertained as they were in Lexington, though there are at present but a very few houses at the place. Frankfort is well situated for a town on both sides of the river. It was unhealthy when it was first settled, owing to a small pond of stagnant water; but since that has been drained it is said to be quite wholesome. A large State house 60 feet square, 3 stories high is to be built by subscription, in the lower story of which will be commodious rooms for every public office. It is supposed it will be very shortly finished, as a great number of hands are anxious to engage in it. When this is done it is to be hoped, the state of our revenue will enable us to afford sufficient salaries to maintain our public officers at the seat of Government. I hope my fellow citizens will not grumble at the few inconveniencies we must labour under until this is accomplished, nor grudge a few annual pence to accomplish it; and I doubt not but in a few years we shall be as commodiously fixed, and be as happy a State as any in the Union."
It gives me pain Mr. Printer, to see every transaction of Government painted in its worst light in our infant state, and to hear so many complaints about grievances that are irremediable. It is well known that our taxes, low as they are, have been loudly complained of both as being too high and unequal. This is not to be wondered at among people who have been so long unused to pay any tax at all; and many of whom are unacquainted with the utility of a public fund and public conveniencies &c. These things must be brought on by degrees as the people can bear, and see the necessity of them. The Assembly spent many days last session in endeavouring to lighten the tax, but found (as may be seen by the report of a Committee in your paper of the third instant) that it was impossible. They spent much time also in endeavouring to equalize the land tax but could not do it: that business must be a work of time. The Government of Virginia were many

years before they could accomplish this, and I think it more difficult to do it here; yet I have hopes that it will be done.
When we consider the difficulty of organizing and putting in motion a new Government, among a set of inhabitants from so many states, so lately settled, and of so different manners; without a penny of public money to begin with—we may rejoice that matters are no worse.
If the Citizen, Coriolanus, Philo the Herald or any other, instead of painting the distresses of our Country in the worst light to make us uneasy; would paint out a remedy for the evils which we all feel, but have not been able to avoid; they would assist the Legislature, serve their Country and meet with the approbation and thanks of
A FARMER.
NEW-YORK, December 13. By an arrival at Newport, we have received the following interesting advices.
BELFAST, October 10.
WE have more than once stated it as our opinion, that Ireland is deeply involved in the progress of Liberty in France, and not only Ireland but the whole World. It is therefore with much satisfaction we announce the defeat of despotism, in the flight of that redoubtable Hero the Duke of Brunswick, who the day before his disgrace, had the audacity to renew his bravadoes, threatening destruction to a whole people, merely because they had thought proper to alter their condition!—May such a cause ever meet a similar fate.
Letter from General Dumourier.
Saint Menehould Oct. 1.
“At length, my dear Servan, what I expected and predicted in my letters has taken place. The Prussians are in full retreat. The brave Buernonville, who has been styled ‘The French Ajax’, has taken from them during the two last days, more than four hundred men fifty waggons and about two hundred horses. All the prisoners and deserters agree, that this army is exhausted by famine, fatigue and the bloody flux.—The enemy decamp every night, and march only two leagues in the 24 hours to cover their baggage and heavy artillery.”
“I have sent a reinforcement to Buernonville, who has more than 20000 men, and who will never quit them till he has exterminated them. To give the finishing blow to this business, I shall join him in person.”
“I have sent you some copies of my negotiation, which I have caused to be printed, because the commander of an army of freemen, ought to suffer no suspicions to exist respecting his conduct with the enemy. I think that the present circumstance will deliver us from the scourge of war; and as I told you before, if I remember right, I hope, provided you have confidence in me, to establish my winter quarters at Brussels. You may therefore assure the August Assembly of the sovereign people, that I shall never seek for repose, until it shall be put out of the power of tyrants to do us any hurt, Embrace you.”
(Signed) DUMOURIEUR.
ALBANY, Dec. 3.
Judge Hofner of Ontario county, arrived in this city on Saturday last, from the Genesee country, and has been so obliging as to communicate to us the important and highly interesting intelligence of a truce having been concluded between the hostile Indians and the United States, on which we take the liberty of felicitating our countrymen.
He says, the chiefs of the six Nations deputed and commissioned by the President of the United States on a mission to the hostile tribes, assembled in council at the Miami village, are returned home having happily succeeded in bringing about a cessation of arms between the said Indians and the United States, to continue till the spring of 1793; and that in the interim, they are ready and willing to enter into negotiation with commissioners, on the part of Congress, for bringing about and establishing a firm and lasting peace with the United States.
The said chiefs add, that the Indians at the council, contrary to their most
sanguine expectations, received them with a great deal of cordiality, treating them their elder brothers, and treating as such, in the most courtly and friendly manner; and that they paid every possible degree of respect and attention to the talks which were delivered them from the President of the United States.
The above information was received in the Genesee settlement (as might well be expected) with the highest degree of satisfaction; and it has already given a new spring to the spirit of improvement, as well as to all kinds of business in that new and flourishing part of the union.
HARRISBURGH, November 19.
A gentleman from Detroit, which place he left the 10th of October, and on whose veracity we may depend, arrived in town last week, has favoured us with the following intelligence, viz.
That the vast supply brought to the garrisons of Detroit and Niagara, indicates a firm determination of the British court to hold those posts in possession, unless compelled to give them up by force; that a constant and regular communication with the Indians, is kept up, by which they are supplied with every necessary in abundance for carrying on the war; that the tribe in contest with the United States, understanding the disposition of the Americans were for peace, were willing to come upon terms of reconciliation; for this purpose a council was to have been held on the 1st of October, at the Wamees town, about sixty miles from Detroit; but the determination of the council had not arrived when the gentleman left the place.
He further says, that it was the general opinion, that the Indians would make peace on no other terms, than fixing the boundaries of the frontiers along the course of the Ohio. He had several hours conversation with Col. Brandt on the subject, who with about 30 warriors of the Six Nations, were on their way to the council; but were delayed some time by the indisposition of Col. Brandt. Many of the warriors of the different tribes, he was informed, were willing that the boundary line should so run as to include the towns of Gallipolis and Marietta, and the country immediately dependant on them; but it was thought the former opinion would prevail in council.
LEXINGTON, February 2. Extract from an Atlantic Correspondent.
“A treaty with the Indians I learn is to take place in the Spring—it is said they have stipulated one grand article thereof, which is that the Ohio river is to be the boundary line, what they will farther insist on in treaty is uncertain.”
From another.
“The progress of the war is again arrested by a stroke of Indian policy, we are to treat with them on their own terms, next season at the Omees, these tawny dogs greatly out council us and out general us.”
A Correspondent observes that it is to be wished, by every good man who has any regard for the welfare of his country that this intelligence may prove a mistake. Can our public servants be capable of holding any treaty with savages, whose hands are still reeking with the blood of their fellow citizens and of their wives and children; nay reeking even with the blood of valuable men sent to them as messengers of peace, under the sacred protection of a flag—those murders still unatoned for? Can they submit to make the sacrifice of public interest and faith the basis of so disgraceful a treaty. Every good citizen must hope not.
SIR.
AS some proceedings relative to the fixing the seat of Government have been in my opinion, irregular and unconstitutional, and as I am affected thereby, I take the liberty of
requesting a few remarks may reach the public eye thro’ the medium of your paper.
When I first came with my family into this country, chance threw me into the neighbourhood of Frankfort: where I have on rent a small piece of land, and possess some lots, in fee, in the town, consequently felt interested that the permanent seat of Government should be there, if consistent with the convenience and welfare of the public, and upon no other principle did such a desire exist with me; but the imaginary importance of gaining a decision upon this subject agreeably to their wishes, stimulating the citizens of other places to make offers for the purchase of its establishment, from the Commissioners, was an argument with myself to join my neighbours in a scheme also for this purpose. I nevertheless thought it wrong, yet as the constitution had projected this Two-Penny business, which to be sure will be read as brilliant ingenuity, and an admirable manœuvre in the refined and accomplished art of gambling, in our sister States, this became necessary to put us upon an equality with other places; I therefore thought it my duty to concur, and subscribed as much as my circumstances would justify, for which I never felt compunction ‘til I was made acquainted with the proceedings of the commissioners, and some of the conduct of the Legislature.
The decision of the former, for ought I know, may have sprung from the best of motives, be justified by the most rational policy; but their disgust and resignation, because they were not allowed more than ten shillings per day, leaves room to suspect that they accepted of the appointment, not from the most honorable and virtuous inducements, but for hire only; which gives the blush to Republicanism, that has been long labouring to raise the Temple in the west.—Upon casting my eye on the conduct of the latter, my sensibility is stunned, and for a moment I become almost indifferent of my existence by their unparalled act, authorizing the securities for the payment of the Frankfort subscriptions to which they bound themselves, without consulting me; to compel me to payment by summary process; to God and the world I appeal, if this is not Ex post Facto, and a cruel violation of the most important rights of man; with better authority they may pass a law to prohibit me from removing my family into the western territory, at their next session, which I shall take care to effect before that period, rather than remain in a government that can with such facility trample on the privileges of its citizens, that are supposed to be guarded by the most sacred declarations of the Constitution; my subscription I shall pay whenever called on for that purpose, but my hand shall never lay on me another obligation in this state—was I disposed to point at other constitutional violations than such as affect myself, I should mention the first appointment of the Commissioners, which was at a session not authorized for that purpose, and their reappointment, after their resignation, in a manner opposite to the letter and spirit of the Constitution—but as I shall not long feel the inconveniency of oppressive Government, I will endeavour to crawl thro’ my remaining residence here with patience, and support myself with the anticipation of breathing the air in which fair freedom flits her wings under the canopy of a mild and solid Government, where the fire of Liberty burns upon an altar that petty Tyranny dust never attempt to subvert.

A PERSON once, affected with the Hypochondriac passion to a great degree, fancied himself dead, and being contradicted by his Physicians, he was much displeased, and dismissed them. However, not long after, he called in an other, who, being more artful than the rest, declared likewise that he was really dead, and that he could not discover the seat of his disorder without dissect- ing him; to which the diseased person immediately agreed. A set of Chirur- gical instruments being called for, the rattling of them made such an impress- ion upon the patient, that he readily con- fessed, he really had or felt some signs of remaining life, and that the Doctor had made the greatest discovery of the cause of his disorder of any one who had attended him.
