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.

Lexington, May 25.

PARIS, March 6.
If we may believe letters from Frankfort, the emperor Paul, has charged baron Stackelberg, his minister to the circle of the Upper Rhine, to address himself successively to the cabinets of Vienna, Berlin, and other principle courts of Germany, to offer his mediation, and endeavors, to contribute towards that peace which Europe so much wants. The baron is also ordered to proceed to Basle.
It is reported that Bengal is in a state of general insurrection; that the inhabitants have disarmed the troops in the service of the English government, and seized upon the government.
Gen. Hoche left Luxembourg on the 6th Ventose, to proceed to Coblenz, and afterwards to Cologne, the head-quarters of the army of the Sambre and Meuse, where he is to have a conference with gen. Moreau.
The Directory have this day published an official bulletin, and having stated nothing relative to the victory said to have been obtained by general Masena over the archduke Charles, we may regard this intelligence as at least premature.
The prince de Ligne and general Mack are to have the command of the Austrian army in Italy. We are assured that the archduke Charles, having learned that the French were preparing to resume the offensive on the Rhine, has returned there with his reinforcement. It is indeed very probable that the court of Vienna proud of the glory of the young archduke, are unwilling to commit him with Buonaparte.
An event is just announced which is extremely important: as we fore saw, the king of Prussia has made an offer to the French government of an armed mediation; and as the court of Berlin is greatly dissatisfied with a species of manifesto lately published against that court, by the cabinet of Vienna, it is probable this powerful mediation will be highly serviceable to France.
The king of Prussia has taken possession of the lower palatinate and a great part of Westphalia. He declares he will not give up these countries until he shall be completely paid his expenses for the siege of Mentz. He is wearied it is said, of negotiating to no purpose, with the diet of Ratisbon for the recovery of his expenses.
The land-grave of Hesse Cassel, arms also, and is disposed to second the views of Prussia, whatever they may be. Frederick William has appointed him general field marshal of his forces.
March 9.
The directory by a resolution dated 17th Ventose, (March 2,) has given orders to all the French cruisers and privateers to capture, henceforth, and bring up in the ports of the Republic, all neutral ships which are freighted, either wholly or in part, with goods belonging to the enemy, which are to be declared lawful prizes, and the neutral ships are to be released the moment the goods are taken out, and the tonnage paid for which they contracted with the owners, besides such indemnity for their detention, as the court of admiralty shall think proper to allow. The ships of the United States of America are not to be excepted from this regulation, which will cease as soon as the hostile powers shall respect the neutral flag which carries French property.
March 11.
The pretended kings of the sea have been defeated: the sceptre is perhaps on the point of falling from their hands, if the news from England and Bengal should be confirmed. But at least their pride has just been humbled in Europe. The Spaniards whom they were in the insolent habit of despising, and considering as a certain prey, have subdued them.
The Marquis del Campo, ambassador from Spain, to the French Republic, received yesterday, from Madrid, a courier with the news of a decisive victory obtained by the Spanish fleet over the English fleet. The circumstantial details will, no doubt, soon be published. It is, however, already certain, that THREE ENGLISH SHIPS OF THE LINE HAVE BEEN TAKEN AND THREE OTHERS SUNK. The rest of admiral Jervis's squadron had fled, and were closely pursued to the coast of Portugal.
The combat lasted for several days, and was supported on both sides with an obstinacy of which there are few
examples in history. The prodigies performed by the Spanish marine, recompense it for the unjust disdain which has been heaped on it. The English, according to their custom, endeavored to cut through the Spanish line repeatedly; not being able to succeed, several of their ships were surrounded.
The glory of our allies is the more precious to us, as it is not foreign to our nation itself. Men who have long done honor to the French marine, aided the Spaniards in their triumph. The dispatches from the cabinet of Madrid observes as a remarkable circumstance, the celebrated Albert de Rioms fought by the brave Cordova, and that ten or twelve French emigrant officers either commanded Spanish ships, or served on board, and contributed to the victory.
This victory, joined to the financial crisis to which England is at this moment brought must greatly accelerate a peace.
Perlet's Journal of the 6th contains an account of the proclamation to suspend the payments of specie by the bank of England. After recapitulating the circumstances which led to this measure, Perlet proceeds to observe. "Whatever measures the merchants may take to extricate the minister from the financial crisis, it will leave behind it a long remembrance which cannot fail to do a solid injury to public credit. It will for the future be very difficult for the English ministry to furnish subsidies for the emperor. Thus will the House of Austria soon be incapable of carrying on the war. If our elections should be good, and if the new directory should be well chosen, we shall have peace before the end of Prairial next," (middle of June.)
The Directory have published an exhortation to the people on the subject of the ensuing elections. The following is the most interesting paragraph we find in it.
Be equally cautious in giving votes to those who wish for the restoration of the ancient system, and those who are averse to order and government of any kind. Both parties are equally strenuous to subvert the Republic — the one for the restoration of Monarchy, and the other for the restoration of anarchy. In both cases, civil war, and the most dreadful convulsions, would be the unavoidable consequences of an injudicious choice.
MADRID, February 20.
Our fleet consisting of 26 ships of the line, commanded by Don Cordova, has captured eight English ships belonging to the East-India company, six of which have already entered the bay of Cadiz. It has fallen in with admiral Jervis's fleet, consisting of 19 ships of the line, and an action commenced between the two fleets at ten in the morning of the 16th and was not over at midnight.
LONDON, March 10.
In consequence of the advertisement of the issue of dollars at four shillings and nine pence, the bank was yesterday put into a state of siege. The crowd and press exceeded even that of Monday the 27th ultimo, after the alarming order of council was made known. Before two o'clock the issue of dollars was stopped. They were sold by Jews at the avenues for five shillings. It is supposed that the manner of issuing them must again be changed.
March 16.
The French papers up to the 12th inst. arrived on Wednesday morning after our paper had went to press. The list of the deputies out by rotation, shews that the ballot is not conducted on the model of a regular government. It is impartial & will make no sensible alteration in the character of the two assemblies. The accounts which they have received of the stoppage of payment in specie at the bank of England, has exhilarated their spirits, because their construction of the event is, that it will lead to a change of ministers, which they call the certain, and perhaps the only road to peace. Little do they know of the fallen and dispirited character of England to imagine, that we have energy left to work out our own deliverance by an act of hostility to the men who are protected by the court!
March 17.
Several letters from the continent advise, that the king of Prussia has declared to the Executive Directory,
that in case the Republican armies should endeavor to make any progress on the right banks of the Rhine, he should feel himself obligated to protect Germany.
A fleet consisting of two lines of battle ships and four frigates, has been some time in preparation for a voyage to the South Seas. It will be ready to sail in about 10 or 12 days. It proceeds under the command of lord Hugh Seymour. The Latona is now preparing at Sheerness for that purpose. The hon. Mr. Leegee, son to lord Dartmouth commands her.
March 18.
Yesterday the governor and directors of the bank of England, had an interview with Mr. Pitt, at his house in Downing street; it was supposed on the subject of discounts.
Yesterday the second payment of 10 per cent upon the loan was made at the bank.
Brussels papers, to the 15th inst. came to hand yesterday. They contain nothing new respecting hostilities, but they present a strong picture of the internal situation of Holland and Belgium. The number of disaffected have increased in a most formidable manner in most of the Seven Provinces, especially in Zealand, and what is of still more consequence, the last proclamation addressed to the seamen on board the fleet, was by no means supposed to have produced the intended effect of fraternizing that stubborn race of men, who it was feared, upon meeting the English, would make but little or no resistance, as was the case at the Cape of Good Hope. The Dutch fleet therefore, is to remain in the Texel, till an opportunity offers for an immediate junction with the French.
The French dragoons and light horse, quartered in the vicinity of Brussels, are frequently employed upon expeditions to confiscate and seize upon the cattle, &c. belonging to the unfortunate farmers who have not delivered in their supplies at the time prescribed. Magazines are every where forming out of these requisitions, to be conveyed to the armies as they are wanted.
All the young men in Belgium and Liege willing to serve in the artillery, were lately assembled at Brussels.
Hostilities on the Lower Rhine had not commenced when these accounts came away.
WEZEL, March 5.
The French are again forming a camp of ten thousand men in the environs of Dunkirk, under the command of General Quentin. The road is full of transports. A division of frigates from Brest is also expected there. Transports and gunboats are also fitting out at Flushing and Middleburg. These collective forces are said to be destined for an invasion of Scotland.
BRIDGETOWN, (Barbad) April 15.
The speculations of the present week, respecting the intention and design of the projected expedition from Martinico, take a different turn to the last. — It is now said to be for the invasion of Guadalupe, and in confirmation of this opinion, we learn that the forces have left Martinique, and are assembled at Dominico, which from its vicinity, will the better facilitate a descent on the enemy's country. We more readily give into this opinion from an article we have received from Martinico, stating, that a certain ex-noble, distinguished by the confidence of the British, has lately had several private conferences with the Republican chief of Guadalupe, who now holding his authority by the precarious tenor of his own usurpation, cannot return to France with safety; and also knowing that in America he can find no asylum from the sanctioned acts of piracy committed by his cruizers on her citizens, seems inclined to throw himself upon British mercy by surrendering to their arms a country which through his former atrocity has not only been deluged with the blood of some of her bravest sons, but also issuing from its bosom hordes of brigands, has depopulated one half of our colonies.
NASSAU, (N. P.) April 11.
From some authentic Spanish papers lately intercepted, it is now adduced to a certainty that a negotiation has long since been entered into for the cession of the two Floridas & Louisiana to the French republic, in consideration of the Spanish part of St.
Domingo being retained by the Spaniards.
CHARLESTON, April 6.
Extract of a letter from Nassau, (N. P.) dated April 16.
Dear Sir.
"We hear from England, as well as by intercepted letters, brought two days ago by a Spanish vessel, captured and brought in here, a clear account that the Floridas have been given up to France, in consequence of what they may suppose an equivalent, and that a French General has actually been sent from the Havanna to Louisiana, in the name of the French Republic; and it appears in an underhand way. The above you may depend on as authentic. The governor has the letters, and but for some particular circumstance, I would have sent you a copy of them."
BALTIMORE, May 9.
Arrived yesterday, Schooner Hercules, captain Craig, from Grenada, last from Barbadoes, 21 days.
Captain Craig left Barbadoes on the 18th April, and was politely favoured us with the following information, and Barbadoes papers as late as the 15th.
That on the 16th April a vessel arrived at Barbadoes, 48 hours from Dominico bringing the important news of the English having effected a landing at Grozier, in Grand Terre, with 8000 regular troops and as many others as would make their number amount to 15,000 effective men — She brought no other particulars, that had transmitted previous to his sailing; but the opinion there was, that Guadalupe (separated from Grand Terre only by a narrow strait) had, or shortly would surrender to the British arms.
PHILADELPHIA, May 6.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Norfolk to his friend in this city, dated 25th April.
"There are ten British ships of war now lying at anchor in Hampton roads where most of them have been upwards of two months; they have lately impressed seamen out of several American ships outward bound; they have received on board 3 soldiers belonging to the fort, who had run away with the boat of the fort; the commanding officer went on board and demanded his men, but was refused them, and gave for reason that the men had demanded protection from his Britannic majesty's ships, and they would protect them; and added, that it was of little consequence whether they were there or on shore, as they would have the same enemy to fight, and thus kept the soldiers of the United States."
"You see what is doing here, and what we have to depend upon."
The private accounts from Ireland wear a very different aspect from the public papers: no doubt the fears of men threatened by insurrection and witnessing the pressing miseries of a nation distracted, and the flushing terrors of blood shed and crimes arising from full fed animosity and hungry despair — men under such horrors will magnify the pictures that occupy their souls, and in the plenitude of feeling display all around them as in a similar terrible state of alarm and distress: some accounts say that five of the most populous and opulent manufacturing countries in the northern province of Ulster, had been declared in a state of revolt, by public proclamation; the capital exhibited a scene of confusion and distress which can be conceived by those only who have experienced the alarms and horrors incident to the apprehension of invasion & civil war; the male inhabitants of Dublin, were without discrimination unless by the infant and decrepid, obliged to learn the use of arms, and to enrol themselves in one or the other of the corps established by the government: armed men paraded the streets at all hours of the night and day, and panic was the order of the day from one end of the nation to the other. Such is the picture drawn in some private letters that we have seen, and which are corroborated in some degree by some of the passengers who have recently arrived in this city, and that had been in the interior part of Ireland.
The financial affairs of Ireland, was to have been expected, felt the heavy shock which paralyzed British credit, with electrical rapidity and similar force — after recovering from the fur-

prize and terror of the first shock, the government adopted measures nearly similar in principle, but different in form from those pursued in London—the supply of three and a half millions for the service of the year, was by a resolution of parliament, agreed to be raised by a loan upon government debentures, and treasury bills, aided by premium of annuity to the lenders at their option.
Capt. Gardner, in 18 days from St. Croix, informs, that on the 10th April, a large fleet, consisting of all the naval force that could be collected, with about 10,000 troops, failed from Martinique, destined it was supposed, for an attack on Guadaloupe. He heard no news of Porto-Rico, or St. Eustatius being taken, as was lately reported here.
May 12.
The independence of Germany is indeed very seriously menaced at present. The king of Prussia has seized new territories in the lower Palatinate, and in Westphalia, and he has offered to France his armed mediation to obtain peace. If this intelligence, which at present rests only on the authority of the Paris Journals, be true, we may expect to see the Prussians take the field with the French, an event which must prove fatal to the Germanic Constitution.
It is a subject upon which we cannot express ourselves too strongly, that at the present time so very critically big with measures for our national security and honor, the fell spirit of party and foreign influence dares scarcely lift its head among us; perhaps it is a circumstance unparalleled, in any former period, that there are not now in the United States above five public papers that openly or covertly take any other party than that of the independence of American republicanism; every day from hence to the close of those important deliberations which are about to occupy the legislature, will, we hope, be marked by an equanimity becoming our national character and the true character of free and enlightened men.
May 12.
By an arrival at Baltimore from Antigua, we learn, that Prince Edward has joined the expedition from Martinique with three thousand men from Halifax.
The captain of a brig arrived yesterday from Tortola informs, that the British cruisers in the West Indies were capturing & condemning Danish merchantmen as well as Americans, and that a war between Denmark and England was spoken of. This rumor of a war was probably founded on the British depredations.
NEW-YORK, May 8.
Accounts from London say, that the expeditions to the West-Indies are becoming more and more disagreeable to the troops, in consequence of their almost absolute certainty of never returning. The common phrase now is among both seamen and soldiers, under orders for the West-Indies, "Gentlemen, we are all bound to Graves-end."
Three Hundred Dollars Reward.
WHEREAS a certain Christopher F. Parnell, failed from Boston on or about the 27th of October last in the sloop Union, with a valuable cargo, bound to Baltimore, but went off to the west Indies, where he sold the vessel and cargo. On or about the first inst. he was apprehended (as a suspicious character) in this town, and examined before several magistrates, but for the want of sufficient proof to detect him in his villainy, he was discharged.
The fact is, the said Parnell is a villain, and is attempting to defraud sundry persons to the amount of 20,000 dollars.
He left this town about the 10th inst. he rode in a chair, painted green, drawn by a gray mare, and went on the Newbern road, but on this side Trenton, took the road to Fayetteville, and most probably is passing through the back part of the state into the western counties.
He had when he left this town, upwards of 2000 dollars in gold, and about 7000 dollars in bank notes.
Parnell is a small man, about thirty years of age, much pock marked, has long black hair, remarkable small eyes, and has a down look when spoken to.
Whoever will secure the said Parnell, and the money he has with him, and give information to Benjamin Williams of Baltimore, John Hogg Esq. at Hillsborough, to Mr. A. Jocelin of this town, or to the subscriber who is in pursuit of the villain, shall receive the above reward.

Wednesday May 31, 1797.
The commerce of America, reduced to such a deplorable state of inaction by the lawless depredations of the French, now wears a still deeper gloom, from the equally lawless and more extraordinary depredations committed on it by our NEW ALLIES, the BRITISH.—Will the belligerent powers now bid us hurl defiance at both Britain and France? or must we peaceably succumb to injury from the one, and boldly declare war on the other? Answer this, ye learned politicians.

There is a species of meanness which we often see practiced in the world—When necessity compels a man to part with his possessions, how seldom will he find an honorable and generous purchaser. How many greedy plunderers will flock around him, in hopes of making some advantage of his misfortunes, who, to enhance their gains will depreciate the value of his property, and after having ungenerously enriched themselves by a bargain, to which the sufferer's poverty and not his will consented, will perhaps have the effrontery to call themselves his benefactors and friends! The insults of mock friendship, are the heaviest part of the burden of poverty.
A familiar kind of baseness, but stained with a still deeper die of guilt, is that of leading the inexperienced and incautious youth into the haunts of licentiousness and vice, and tempting him to resign his innocence and peace for the sake of indulging a present inclination. His virtue is his birthright, for which no momentary pleasure can be an equivalent:—Every young man who has not already parted with it, values it above all other treasures. No young man, I believe I may venture to assert, ever made a deliberate and calm surrender of his virtue. It is only when passion is impetuous and will be obeyed, that innocence is bartered for pleasure; and, therefore, although I blame the youth, who, at any time, or for any price, sells his birthright, I blame him much more, who leads him into a situation where nothing but the clamours of appetite and passion can be heard, and there tempts him to make the fatal exchange. Can there be a character baser or more dangerous than this? I know of one, and but one; it is that of the man who employs the same arts to betray the prize which every man of honor will protect—female virtue.
