"Supervisor's Office, 22d April, 1797." BEING assured of legal assistance, the Supervisor of revenue for the district of Ohio, has it in charge from the treasury department, to make a strenuous effort to enforce the collection of the duties arising from distilled spirits, stills, &c. And is instructed that the first demands ought to be made of those delinquents whose example in opposition to the law has been most influential. If they shall manifest a disposition to submit to the law, by complying with any formal injunctions before omitted, and shall agree to pay the duties which shall have accrued, for two years prior to the first day of July 1796, the supervisor ought to settle with them on these terms, without coercing the penalties, or the former arrears. If however opposition is made to a compromise on these principles, suits ought to be commenced both for the whole arrears, and for all penalties which have been incurred.
"If a disposition to a compromise shall not be perceived among the influential non-compliers with the law, suits ought to be commenced against this class of men generally; with respect to men of inferior consideration and influence, suits may be suspended until further instructions are received. And it is farther particularly recommended,—that the Supervisor carry the preceding plan of operations into a prompt and complete execution, in a frank, candid, and conciliating spirit, by himself and his collectors."
To which the Supervisor takes this occasion to add,—that as temperance and forbearance have ever been primary considerations with him in the execution of his office; it is with pleasure he communicates the foregoing benevolent propositions on the part of the government of the United States, and flatters himself, that the people to whom they are made, will see in them, as well the indulgence of the government, as the indispensable necessity of enforcing the execution of the law, against all opposition. T. MARSHALL, Supervisor.
* * The board of Trustees of the Transylvania Seminary, will meet at the Seminary on Saturday the 27th inst. at which time and place it is requested that all the trustees who can will attend. By order of the Board B. J. BRADFORD, Ck. May 10, 1797.

LONDON, March 1.
The new exchequer bills were yesterday at a discount of two and a half per cent. As they are payable in three months, and bear an interest of more than five per cent, the gain upon them at present is 151. per cent. per annum. Government is now paying fifteen per cent. per annum, while it is unlawful for an individual to pay more than five!!!
The principal cause of quarrel between Mr. Pitt and the bank, we understand to be this: Some time ago the bank advanced to him 1,200,000. It has been found difficult to obtain payment of this sum; but the last loyalty loan putting it in the power of the bank to repay themselves, they have stopped it; and this has not only wounded the pride but embarrassed the plans of the minister.
We yesterday stated generally, that the alarm of invasion had occasioned a great run on several country banks, some of which had, in consequence, been obliged to draw largely on London for cash. Handbills were circulated at Newcastle. They shew the transactions that have taken place there, and we fear other parts of the kingdom are equally embarrassed by the precipitate and imprudent conduct of the holders of country bank notes.
It was gravely observed by Sir Boyle Roche, on hearing the French fleet was off the coast of Ireland, that "If the British fleet fell in with them, general Hoche and his troops would be soon made to bite the dust."
The same person, in a letter addressed to the people of Limerick, after applauding the loyalty of the country, says, "that the expedition of the French is attended with this impression, that though they had made a descent on the kingdom, they never would have got a footing in the country."
Extract of a letter from Petersburg, January 28.
Our new emperor is indefatigable in performing his duties. He rises every morning at four, and employs himself in his cabinet till nearly nine, when he breakfasts. At half past nine he receives the reports of the city officers, and of the adjutant general of the days: and at ten he appears in his uniform on parade, where the companies of guards come from their posts in several parts of Petersburg, to be mustered. When the battalion is formed, he mounts his horse, and exercises them in some slight manœuvres.
The merchants of Petersburg have had several audiences of his majesty, who received them with great frankness—spoke to them much at length, and said that in future every one of his subjects should have as free access to him as was consistent with his occupation. He has frequently, and almost daily, rode out in the city, accompanied by his only son, without any suite. Having heard that the populace complained of the badness of bread, he went incog. on the eighth day after his accession, to several bakers' shops, of whom he purchased loaves: the next day he sent for the administrators of the company, told them the quality of the bread ought to be in proportion to the price, and said that in future he would have loaves purchased for him every day at some of their shops, that he might know their conduct and consider what measures were necessary to be taken in consequence of it.
"The Prussian ambassador has frequent conferences with his majesty, and the whole court seems to have a predilection for the Prussians."
March 8.
Saturday last in the Irish House of Commons, Sir John S. Hamilton proposed a land tax of one shilling in the pound, in lieu of the new tax on salt. This proposal was to be taken up on Tuesday.—Sir John Parnell, chancellor of the Exchequer, moved for an open loan of 800,000, at 6 per cent, for 5 years. This was opposed by the speaker and several other members, on the ground that it would cramp the means of commercial credit. A member (Mr. Bagwell of Tipperary) said, rather than adopt such a measure he would give up a fourth of his income to government for five years, and he would begin by paying 500 immediately, and 500 at Michaelmas, and he thought every man of property in the kingdom should come forward with liberality on the present occasion.
The chancellors proposition was postponed.
March 9.
Emigrants.—A list was taken yesterday of the number of French Emigrants resident in the city of Westminster, Marylebone, and other places, in order to be presented to his majesty's ministers, and it is expected an order of council will be shortly issued for their leaving this kingdom.
We understand that meetings are shortly to be convened throughout the kingdom, for the purpose of petitioning the throne for peace. The present is an awful and alarming crisis. The prospect that presents itself is dreadful and terrific. If the country is intended to be saved it must very soon be relieved from the condition in which it now stands; there is no alternative but peace or ruin.
The American funds have been advanced in the same proportion as the English have been depreciated.
When a committee of the house of commons was appointed to enquire into the causes why the strange, unprecedented, and illegal Order of Council of the 26th of February last was issued (a committee which under the pretence of being chosen by ballot, every person knows was formed by ministerial selection) Mr. Sheridan proposed that Mr. Fox should be added to the number. One would have thought that such a proposition would have met with the unanimous concurrence and approbation of the house, and that even ministers themselves would not have ventured to interpose; for, whether Mr. Fox be right or wrong in his political sentiments; whether the tenor of his public conduct merits applause or not, is there a man in the kingdom who will deny that he is possessed of most brilliant and distinguished talents, and that the present state of the country is such as loudly to call for their exertion? What, then, are we to think, when in these critical and disasterous times, a British house of commons, at the instigation of a weak and interested cabal, refuse to such a statesman as Mr. Fox an opportunity of exercising his splendid abilities in behalf of his country? Will that once happy and much injured country, now that the measures of its calamities are full, bear to be thus insulted by the authors of all its wrongs? Will it patiently bear the calumny to sit in judgment upon his own crimes? Will it, while there is even a chance of salvation, leave the vessel of the state to the management of that blundering pilot who has struck from his course into an unknown path, beset with quicksands, shelves, and rocks?—Will it fix its forlorn hope in a quarter where, in return for confidence, it has met with nothing but shame, disappointment, and sorrow? We trust that it is not so blind to its interests but that roused by a sense of present calamity and of approaching ruin, from the lethargy into which it has been so fatally sunk, it will disclaim that faction which has maintained itself in power by the base arts of corruption; and that it will commit its fortunes to the management of men whose integrity and talents may yet rescue them from that devouring gulf in which they will otherwise, ere long be absorbed.
Two Irish mails arrived this morning, and the intelligence which they bring is of extreme importance. The measure of stopping the issue of specie from the bank, has been extended to Ireland; and there, if the account given by a very intelligent Journalist be true, it has produced the greatest consternation and dismay. Yet in Dublin, as in London, associations have been entered into, and a resolution has been adopted to take bank notes in payment as usual.—"These associations can only palliate, not cure the evil. Men may associate, but public credit never can stand upon associations."—Whether the event of this second edition of the system of Projector Law will meet with the same fate as the first, we will not venture to say; but in Ireland the guilt, misery and mischief of the war, and the ruinous tendency of the Minister's measures, have awaked an energy which is not to be found in England. A most numerous and respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Dublin
was held, on the 3d inst. to decide upon the best means of uniting and strengthening the country against a foreign enemy, and for the protection of persons and property.
Mr. Ponsomby took the chair.—A long discussion occurred, and it was at length solemnly determined that parliamentary reform and Catholic emancipation were the only means by which the country could be strengthened and united.—Yes; here as well as in Ireland a reform in parliament becomes necessary, more necessary daily—and it is not in sending men to Bottany Bay—it is not in subjecting them to severe imprisonment, that can eradicate the sense of that necessity. Shallow statesmen! their severity furnishes only an additional charge against themselves; and vainly will they endeavor to make us believe that parliament does not want reform as long as we have eyes to see, ears to hear and hearts to feel.
DUBLIN, March 4.
The consternation which prevails from the late shock sustained by the public credit is indescribable. All confidence in paper is gone; and business is at a complete stand.
For a considerable time on Thursday last the commissioners of the revenue refused to accept of the notes of the bank of Ireland from such merchants as tendered them to payment of the duties on their entries. The effects of this refusal may be easily conceived. It operated like an electric shock; and threw the metropolis into confusion. Fortunately the prohibition was taken off in the course of the day—and the bank of Ireland notes were allowed currency at the custom house.
As a circulating medium, guinea notes have been adopted by the bank of Ireland, and a number of them have actually been issued.
VIENNA, February 8.
His Imperial majesty being informed that a general opinion prevailed all over Europe, which had been supported in the British House of Commons, by a thematic documents, of General La Fayette, his family and fellow prisoners, suffering in the dungeons of Olmutz the most barbarous treatment; that they have been for years kept rigorously confined in separate cells, infected with the pestilential air of a moras and a common sewer of two barracks and two hospitals, without being allowed the benefit of either air, exercise or intercourse with each other; that the health of the prisoners was so far impaired as to require medical assistance almost daily;—has just ordered that commissioners should be appointed to enquire particularly into the former treatment and the present situation of the prisoners; & that an authenticated report should be sent without delay to the court.
The curiosity of the public, so much interested in favor of those unhappy victims, is strongly excited to know what was the motive, and what was likely to be the result of this order. Is it in consequence of his Imperial majesty being now for the first time acquainted with the treatment of the prisoners? or of the official declaration made by the British minister, that he had no share in it? Has the magnanimous conduct of the Emperor of Russia towards Kosciuszko, by which he has so unequivocally disclaimed being an accomplice of the prosecutors of La Fayette, disposed our court to follow his example? Is it at last that our ministers, anticipating the notification intended to be made by the Directory, that the prisoners at Olmutz were considered by the French government as prisoners of war, avail themselves of the opportunity to justify the detention of the three French officers, and have resolved in consequence to treat them as prisoners of war, and to allow them to breathe out of their dungeons, to take exercise and to see one another? Whatever may be the motive of the enquiry, which cannot possibly terminate but in the relief, or even the liberation of the captives; we need not observe that the report of the commissioners cannot but be reprobated by all Europe as undeserving of credit, unless the investigation be fairly and openly managed by men of honorable and independent character, not influenced by personal interest, nor by fear or corruption; and unless the report is sanctioned by the signatures of the parties concerned, or at least that it be open
to their observations, in opposition to those of the commissioners.
PHILADELPHIA, April 28.
The war between the French and the Pope was terminated on the 19th February, by the unconditional submission of his holiness to the justice and generosity of the French Republic: we may therefore soon expect accounts of Buonaparte's marching in triumph towards the capital of Austria, unless the emperor's ministers should at last grow wise enough to prefer an immediate peace to inevitable ruin.
The articles of the peace concluded between the French Republic and the Pope, were not communicated by the late London papers: but by referring to the terms granted on a similar occasion, by Buonaparte to the king of Sardinia, it will be easy to predict, that henceforth the secular and spiritual power of his holiness will be dangerous to none, but the enemies of the French republic. The French will undoubtedly remain in possession of the best provinces of the ecclesiastical state, and keep garrisons in the ports of Civita Vecchia and Ancona, during the war.
A London editor rather imprudently observes, that a recent advantage gained by the arch duke over the advanced posts of Masena in Tyrol, had procured to his holiness the favour of being allowed to surrender at discretion to the French. If such are the effects of the arch duke's successes, another of his victories might very well compel Great Britain to appeal to the justice and generosity of the French Republic. The pride of the friends of the coalition, must indeed be vanquished and their hopes extremely low, if they begin to consider an unconditional submission to the dictates of France, as the best fruits of their victories.
As to the advantages, said to have been gained by the arch duke, near some uncertain place in Tyrol, between the 1st and 10th or between the 11th and 18th of February, the men themselves who ushered that victory into the world, did not think it worth detailing.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Norfolk (Virg.) to his friend in this city dated the 20th inst.
Commodore Barney still remains in this harbor with his two frigates, and is likely for some time so to remain;—The whole of the British squadron (on the American station) consisting of ten ships of different sizes, being at this moment in Hampton Road, and joined within these few days by their new Admiral, Vandeput from England in the St. Albans of 64 guns.
ELIZABETH-TOWN, April 26.
By an arrival from Bristol, at New-York, on Monday last, we are enabled to lay the following important event before the public.
Paris Journals of the 4th and 5th, arrived yesterday, they bring an account that peace is concluded between the Pope and the French.
The following are the official letters published by the Directory, on the subject of the peace concluded between the Pope and the French Republic.
Buonaparte, commander in chief, to the French Executive Directory.
"Head-quarters at Talento, 10th Ventose, February 19.
"I shall send you immediately the ten standards which we have taken from the Pope in the different actions we have had with his troops. You will find annexed the copy of a letter which the holy father has written to me, and of my answer.
"BUONAPARTE."
Pope Pius VI. to General Buonaparte.
"Dear son, health and apostolic benediction.
"Desiring to terminate amicably our differences with the French Republic by the retreat of the troops which you command, we send and depute to you, as our plenipotentiaries, two ecclesiastics, the cardinal Matty, who is perfectly known to you, and M. Caleppi; and two seculars, the Duke Don Lewis Braschi, our nephew, and the Marquis Camillas Massini, who are invested with our full powers to concert with you, promise and subscribe such conditions as we hope will be just and reasonable, obliging ourselves under our faith and word, to approve and ratify them in special form, in order that they may be valid & inviolable in all future time. Assured of the sentiment of good will, which

You have manifested, we have abstained from removing any thing from Rome, by which you will be persuaded of the entire confidence which we repose in you. We conclude by assuring you of our perfect esteem, and in giving you the paternal apostolic benediction.
"Given at St. Peter's in Rome, the 12th February 1797, and the 22d year of our Pontificate."
"PIUS, P. P. VI."
Buonaparte Gen. in chief of the army of Italy to his holiness the Pope.
"Head-quarters Talento, 1st Venetian, 5th year."
"Most Holy Father,"
"I ought to thank your holiness for the obliging things contained in the letter which you have taken the trouble to write to me."
"The peace between the French Republic and your holiness is just signed; I felicitate myself in being able to contribute to your personal safety."
"I entreat your holiness to guard against the persons who are sold to the courts, the enemies of France, or who suffer themselves to be guided exclusively by the passions of hatred which the loss of territory constantly engenders."
"All Europe knows the pacific inclination, and the conciliatory virtue of your holiness. The French Republic, I hope, will be one of the truest friends of Rome."
"I send my aid-de-camp, chief of brigade, to express to your holiness, the perfect esteem and veneration which I have for your person, and to entreat you to confide in the desire which I have to give you on every occasion, proofs of the respect and veneration with which I have the honor to be your most obedient servant."
(Signed) "BUONAPARTE."

LEXINGTON
Wednesday, May 17, 1797.
Mr. Greenleaf, of New-York, printer of the Argus, has been tried before the Circuit court of the United States, for a libel, of which he was pronounced guilty; and fined by the court (in which Judge Ellsworth sat as supreme) SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS! Mr. G. in his statement of the transaction which gave rise to the prosecution, says, that it was for the publication of a piece averse from his own political opinions, and in answer to one which had previously appeared in his paper, and published merely to support the character of an impartial printer. Mr. G. consoles himself under the reflection, that the author of the piece, whom, according to custom he refused to give up, possesses too much honour to see him suffer the pecuniary penalty which he has incurred.—The prosecutor, we understand, was John Temple, the British consul.
PASIGRAPHY.
Proposals have been printed at Paris for publishing by subscription a work under the above title, of Elements of the Art of Writing and Printing in one language, so as to be understood in any other without translation. It is a language that can be written only, not spoken. It contains 12 characters, which are totally different from the letters of all languages, and twelve general rules, which are precise and applicable without any exception. The author asserts that it may be learned in a few hours. "It will be with Pasigraphy," says one of the French Journals, "as with Geography, where a certain point of intersection denotes a town or an island. Let the town, &c. be called either Constantinople or Stambul, Londres or London, Paris or Parigi, those who can take at the first glance, the longitude and latitude, will immediately name the country, the province, and the place, every one in his own language." Such a language must obviously prove of great utility and importance.

MANUFACTURER,
TURER,
RESPECTFULLY informs the Public in general, and his Friends in particular, that he has commenced business in all its various branches, on Cross street, four doors from Main street. He flatters himself from the neatness and excellence of his work to merit the favors of the public. He has furnished himself with a few excellent workmen, together with some of the best materials that can be produced.
To distillers and others
WHO may incline to carry on the business of rectifying spirituous liquors and the manufacturing cordials in an extensive manner, may now be supplied with the necessary articles for carrying on the same, by applying at the sign of Andrew McCall's Apothecary's shop near Gray pen Lexington. The Articles principally are for making the following liquors, viz.
Spirituous aniseed-water ditto clove-water ditto orange-water, all fours, &c. Also for making brandy and geneva equal in flavour and purity to that imported—There are upwards of 300 lbs. of Holland juniper berries, and tools, aniseeds, which may be purchased distinct from the other articles, if applied for soon. Any person or persons inclining to purchase the whole, or the juniper berries or Aniseed alone, or the whole of the articles for making brandy and cordials, will (if required) receive genuine instructions gratis, how to use them to the greatest possible advantage.
Also, an exceeding good COPPER STILL, almost a quarter of an inch thick, containing better than 300 gallons, with a worm made of the very best pewter, having ten turns and weighing upwards of 300 lbs. with a large quantity of wrought iron suitable to set up the still in the compleatest manner—the whole of which will be sold together on very low terms, and instructions given for fixing the works in the most complete order, so that it can be worked with more ease than many stills are now of 100 gallons.
N.B. Cordials can be made to more advantage in warm than cold weather.
Also, a FARM, of one hundred acres or upwards on the waters of Tate's creek—it is but one mile and a half from Winters's mills, and four miles from the Kentucky river; four acres of which is excellent timothy meadow, a very good hewn log house, nearly two stories high, with an excellent spring not ten yards from the house—also, a good stable, sufficiently large for four horses. On the said plantation there is a good public mill seat and two branches sufficiently large to erect a mill large enough to carry on the brewing or distilling business. The place will be sold cheap as the possessor is in want of money.

MR. BRADFORD:
AS I understand some things are suggested injurious to my character respecting an uncommon sort of paper made in my mill, I think it necessary to observe, that a stranger applied for paper, as near as I can describe, of the colour and thickness of the white wrappers on my reams of paper, rather thicker than our common printing paper, and by no means resembling any bank bills now in circulation that I have seen; a sample of which paper I herewith send you, and may also be seen at my house in Geo. Town. He requested no secrecy—the paper was made and finished without my presence, and that publicly, which can be proved by several. I am ready to make any kind of paper that can be made in my mill, in the same public manner, for those who will give me a good price—but will keep no secrets. I privately have sent a ream of the paper to North Carolina, where I have had some reasons to believe it is intended to be used. The paper was stole out of the mill, but I had previously got the worth of it in hand before it was begun.

Mr. Bradford,
I WISH to inform those gentlemen who have been so kind as to purchase of my paper, and the public in general, that I am under the disagreeable necessity of raising the price of that article; because, the rags which are collected by my rag-man, costs me about fifty per cent. more than they did when the prices were first established. The price of labour and other things necessary for prosecuting the business are also higher. The extreme difficulty of the seasons, the works standing long idle and dry, occasions loss of time and great expense in repairing;—For these reasons hope the public will be reconciled to the present prices, and continue the encouragement they have hitherto given to so useful a factory.
