A Scheme of Chances of Insurance
On the Lottery authorised by Law for raising 2250 dollars, for the Lexington Lodge, No 25; to raise the same sum for the purpose of repairing the streets building stone bridges, paving, &c. the town of Lexington.
THE trustees of the town of Lexington, as the representatives of the inhabitants, submit the following scheme to their constituents, and to the citizens of the state at large. The inhabitants of the town, whether merchants, tradesmen or mechanics, and the farmers, planters and labourers of the country mutually depend upon, and assist each other. The inhabitants of the town have something to dispose of to the cultivator of the land, which he cannot manufacture for himself at the same price; on the other hand, as his occupation prevents him from leaving by his own labour in the field, the produce of the country, he is compelled to receive in return, for what he has furnished to the husbandman, that produce, either in the article itself, or the price of it.
These observations are verified by the great rise in the value of landed property adjacent to the town of Lexington, so superior to the rise of property of the same description in other parts of the state, which can only be accounted for by the rapid improvement and increase of population in the town.
To the citizens of the town of Lexington, the trustees suggest that with the sums authorised by law to be collected and appropriated by them, the proceeds of seven years taxes will be insufficient to build stone bridges, to make sewers for carrying off the water, to sink wells and erect pumps (the necessity of which has been evidenced by the late calamity by fire) and to make such other repairs, as are necessary for the health, safety and convenience of their fellow-citizens. What purpose the temporary repairs heretofore made, have answered, which have exceeded the amount of their funds, every citizen can determine.
To the citizens of the state at large, they suggest that all increase of population is an increase of wealth; and that the increase of inhabitants who are employed in trade, merchandise or manufactures, and who do not cultivate the earth, must increase the demand for the necessaries of life, and the competition of purchasers for a foreign market; and that the proposed improvement of the town is the most likely way to procure such increase of population.
The trade and communication between the town and the country, resembles the circulation of the blood, it is the impulse to the heart, and from thence driven to warm and invigorate the most extreme parts.
The scheme they propose is, that they will issue the same number of chances of insurance, as there are tickets in the Lexington Lodge lottery, with the same numbers, and at the same price, and they will pay to the holder of a chance of the same number, as a ticket which shall draw a prize in that lottery, the same sum which the fortunate holder of the ticket shall draw in that lottery, the same sum which the fortunate holder of the ticket shall draw in that lottery, to be subject as the fortunate holder of tickets in that lottery, to a deduction of fifteen per centum.

LEXINGTON CHANCES OF INSURANCE.
 1 chance of insurance of 1500 dollars is 1500  2 " 750 " 1500  3 " 500 " 1500  4 " 375 " 1500  5 " 300 " 1500  10 " 150 " 1500  17 " 88.23 " 1500  25 " 60 " 1500  44 " 34.09 " 1500  2 of 100 each, being one for the first and last drawn tickets. 250  15,000  1025 fortunate chances. 2 Not two blanks to a prize.  1983 blanks. 5 a prize.  3000 chances at 5 Dollars. 
The holders of chances of insurance who hold chances of the same numbers as the tickets which draw prizes, shall be paid the sums due to them in twenty days after the Lodge lottery is drawn. A credit for one half of any number of chances shall be given until the said lottery shall have been drawn. If the several sums which shall become due to the holders of chances shall not be called for within eight months, they will be considered as donations. Their chances of insurance depend upon the drawing of the Lexington Lodge lottery authorized by law, and not upon the drawing of which is to be published in the Kentucky paper, showing the blanks and prizes. Tickets may be had by applying to Hugh McIlvain, James Morrison, Robert Patterson, George Teggarden, Alexander Parker, Thomas Putnam, and John Pringle, trustees of the town of Lexington, who will manage the insurance, and be answerable for prizes.
At a Court of Quarter Sessions held for Nelson County, at the Court house in Bardstown, on the 24th day of August 1795, and the 24th day of September, 1795 the year 1795.

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 12. According to the census taken in 1726, the number of inhabitants in the Seven Provinces amounted to 2,500,000; but the census just now taken by order of the States General, offers only a population of 1,736,000 inhabitants; such has been the effect of the tyranny of the Stadtholder, and the Prussians under Brunswick.
HAGUE, Jan. 20. The province of Holland, according to its new division, contains 55 districts, which derive their names from the rivers and brooks on which they are situated: and Amsterdam by itself contains 14 of these districts. Each of the districts sends a representative to the National Convention. The province of Holland sends therefore 55 representatives, consequently as many as the other provinces together.
The French government has lately given a signal proof of its firm resolution to respect faithfully the independence and rights of other nations. The committee of Sealand endeavored to procure the re-union of that province with France; secret offers were made to the members of the Directory, whom they hoped to persuade into an acquiescence by representing how advantageous such a re-union would be to the French Republic; but the Directory disclosed the whole to the ministers of the Batavian Republic.
The Texel fleet, consisting of 1 ship of 80 guns, 7 of 74, 4 of 64, 2 of 58 guns, and 10 frigates and sloops, has been these eight days ready to take the sea, and waits only for a favorable wind. The destination of the fleet is not known.
HAMBURG, Jan. 26. Letters from Rochfort mention, that the frigate L'Andromaque lately arrived from Guadeloupe, had brought six islands of colors taken from the English in Grenada, 8 large boxes of silver in ingots, and 3500 lb. of silver plate, and a great many other articles of value. The Austrians took possession of Cracow, on the 5th inst. and the Prussian government is already established at Warsaw, once the capital of an extensive and independent state—The residence of a king dethroned, not by Jacobins, but by neighboring kings.
It seems gen. Favrat, the Prussian commandant at Warsaw, places little confidence in the gratitude which may naturally be expected from the Poles, for being permitted to share the happiness of his Prussian majesty's subjects. He lately enjoined, under the severest pains, that every citizen who had arms of any kind in his possession should deposit them immediately in the arsenal.
LONDON, December 10. A comet was discovered on the eleventh inst. from the royal observatory at Berlin, situated between the Lyre and Swan's neck. It appeared through the telescope like a dark point, round and without a distinct nucleus: at eleven at night its direct elevation was about 288 degrees, & its declination towards the North 53, 10-2. On the 12th, the sky was overcast; but on the 13th, the weather cleared up, and at 57 minutes after 8 o'clock, M. Bode estimated the direct ascension of the comet, at 282 degrees 23 minutes and 36 seconds; and its declination towards the north, at 2 degrees, 49 minutes, 41 seconds. It is therefore retrograde; takes a direction from the South West towards Hercules and Opichus, and appears to shape its course towards the sun.
January 18. Tuesday a meeting of the Whig Club was held at the Crown and Anchor tavern. It was the most numerous ever witnessed at this season of the year. Mr. Erskine addressed the meeting, exhorting
them to persevere in those efforts for the repeal of the late acts, which they had so auspiciously begun.
No publication has been read with more admiration, than the late speech of Gen. Washington; temperate, bold, moderate and humane.—“Look exclaimed,” Mr. Erskine, in the conclusion of his eloquent speech, on Tuesday at the Wig Club, “Look while the blood and treasure of this country are lavishly wasting and exhausting, how that great and immortal patriot, preserves the peace, the harmony and the dignity of America. Like a great Colossus, surrounded by liberty, plenty, and peace, he betrides Europe—obscures all the miseries with which it is afflicted and by his wisdom and philanthropy, prevents America from experiencing the ill effects resulting from similar calamities. Good God!—Gentlemen, when I read the speech of the illustrious Character to the House of Representatives I should not be surprised that the people of America adore the great and beneficent Father of the Creation, who gave them such a guardian, and that they should only be prevented by a sense of religious duty, from paying an equal adoration to Washington himself.
The Prince of Wales was married on the 8th of April, and Mr. Sheridan on the 28th of the same months. The Princess was delivered on the 8th, and Mrs. Sheridan on the 14th inst. so that the latter was the most expeditious by fourteen days, & that too with the difference of having a Boy. It was said on this occasion a considerable bet was depending between his Royal Highness and Mr. Sheridan.
February 12. Neither the Emperor, the King of Prussia, nor the King of Spain, had any ministers remaining at Balle so late as the latter end of last month, all expectation of negotiation having vanished.
The lower order of people in this country have of late been so much inured to the practices of fasting, that they will find no difficulty in complying with the injunctions of the proclamation in the Gazette of Saturday evening; but we have our doubts whether they would not more fervently with success to war, if it produced a feast instead of a fast.
On the 30th inst. an official note was delivered to citizen Caillard, the French minister at Berlin, on the part of the prussian ministry, assuring him in the strongest terms that his Prussian majesty was determined to observe the separate secret article of the treaty of Balle, wherein the king of prussia is said to have promised not to interfere in the affairs of Holland.
February 19. Adices received yesterday from Ireland, it is said, state, that the desperate insurgents in Armagh had gone to lengths that were horrible. They had surrounded several houses, to which they had set fire, and burnt to death the miserable victims of their fury. The number of lives lost could not be ascertained, but the violence of the insurrection was still raging when the account was despatched.
NANTES, January 14. One of our light columns having discovered the retreat of Charette and his errant companions, attacked them, killed fifty and took their grand Standard, made of white taffeta, bearing a large crown, with the inscription, “Pro Deo et Rege.” The thick woods in the neighbourhood of Tablier, favoured the escape of the remaining Brigands, who fled as soon as they discovered our troops.
The inhabitants of the villages of La Vendee are almost all returned to their respective homes, and have delivered up their arms; they are tired of fighting, and assist the Republicans in the pursuit of their infamous chiefs. One of these people has led our troops to a place
where twelve of the chiefs were hid, who were immediately seized and sent before the military commission.—By the country people our troops found a great number of muskets, cannons furnished by the British, ammunition and provisions which were all hid in the earth.
RELEASE, January 14. It is with pain we have to state, that a party of those infatuated men, who have desolated the country of Armagh, are now turning their fury to the county of Down. On Wednesday night last, they penetrated as far as the road from Dromore to Rathirryland, about two miles from the former town, where they attacked the house of a Catholic, and perpetrated cruelties, too shocking to delicacy for us to relate: the whole country, of all persuasions, immediately assembled to resist them, and the neighbouring gentlemen have united their efforts to save the county of Down from this violation of the law. We cannot take upon us to state precisely who the instigators and abettors of these mischiefs are, but time will shew. It is a great pleasure, however, to reflect, that the affair which threatened so much calamity, is likely, through the addresses and liberality of a few enlightened gentlemen, to become the means of binding the Catholic and Protestant together by the strongest of all ties, that of mutual good offices and protection.
At a meeting of the association of Belfast Weavers, on Saturday last it was unanimously resolved, that they would not retain, in their houses, or in any manner employ persons concerned in the atrocities in the county of Armagh.
PHILADELPHIA, April 9. Extract of a letter from Samuel Bayard, esq. agent of the United States in London, to a gentleman in this city, dated January 17, 1796.
“As soon as ministry learn the line of conduct, which the house of representatives mean to pursue, I am persuaded their conduct, as it regards us will be less fluctuating; should the house coincide with the president and senate, every thing here will go well: should obstacles on the other hand be thrown in the way by the popular branch of the government I doubt whether the western posts will be surrendered, or restitution made of our captured property. However, I trust that every man who has any regard to the honor, the faith, or interest of his country, will see the necessity of carrying the treaty fully into effect, so far as regards the United States.”
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Armagh, Ireland, to his friend, dated February 2 1796.
“Since your departure from this country, the internal commotions have increased to a great degree; its progress is the most alarming. We are constant under apprehensions of a general war throughout the kingdom; the country people are so much divided in principle, that they are constantly watching one another, in particular at night, lest their houses should be demolished; there is not one day passes without the properties of many inhabitants being totally burned and destroyed; the poor cottager who is not willing to join the republicans, is inhumanly treated, or his goods consumed. I have for many nights sat, seeing my neighbors' houses, barns, and offices burned to the ground. They assembled in large bodies on the 4th of January; an action took place between this city & Rich hill on a plain called the Ring, which you know; there were several thousands concerned: the engagement was desperate with all sorts of weapons; it lasted for six hours; there were upwards of one thousand killed & wounded. The terror that this day gave to our country, has caused numbers to evacuate this city,
and remove to other provinces; the carnage was dreadful.—You may rely upon this as an absolute fact, being an eye witness to the same. Cormic Dugan, captain of a republican party, who lived near Rich-hill, was killed a few days after; and eighteen of his men desperately wounded. They are in the hospital of Armagh, which is nearly full of wounded men—they attacked dean Allot's house and ordered him to proceed to a Roman Catholic chapel, and take on him the priests vestment, as there was a vacancy since priest Cianly's death, he made his escape. All the gentlemen in this country are ordered up to Dublin to acquaint government of their situation.
“This is the way we are at present situated, the horror of an approaching war, which for some years past we expected is now at hand. God only knows the result of these affairs.”
“Happy are you my good friend, to be in a land where unanimity and peace subsists: we are unknown to the blessings you possess in the land of of freedom; we are willing to obtain liberty,—but the mode of conduct at present adopted, seems to reverse the true means to obtain that desired object. I am convinced that we will be as rotten as ever the counter-revolutionists of France were in La Vendee. I wish that you would inform your countrymen with the particulars here related.”
Extract of a letter from an American gentleman in London, to his friend in this city, dated Feb. 2.
“I was informed by Mr. Pinkney, that a gentleman had just been with him, who has purchased a considerable tract of land on the Ohio, in Pennsylvania, who this spring will take out with him 1500 settlers, chiefly farmers, who are all engaged, and ready to embark. I cannot tell you the effect which the President's speech has produced through this country: I speak, I think, correctly, when I say it will be means of pouring some millions sterling into the lap of the United States; it has excited admiration, inspired confidence, and reflected a degree of consequence on every one who bears the name of an American—indeed there is no national character so high in Europe at this time as the American—every one who has ever been in the United States, seems eager to claim the rights of citizenship and to be considered as an American.”
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
WEDNESDAY, April 6.
In committee of the whole on Mr. Blount's motion, “That the message (of the President relative to certain papers respecting the British treaty) be referred to a committee of the whole on the state of the Union”—and after various observations it was moved, that the question should be taken by the yeas and nays, which was done—they are as follows:

Thompson, Uriah Tracy, J. E. Van Allen, P. Wadsworth, J. Williams. 30.
The house then went into a committee of the whole on the message, when Mr. Blount after a few preliminary observations, moved the following resolutions.
Resolved, That it being declared by the 2d section of the 2d article of the constitution, "that the President shall have power by and with the advice of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senate present concur," the House of Representatives do not claim any agency in making treaties, but that when a Treaty stipulates regulations on any of the subjects submitted by the constitution to the power of Congress, it must depend for its execution as to such stipulations, on a law or laws to be passed by Congress, and it is the constitutional right and duty of the House of Representatives, in all such cases, to deliberate on the expediency or inexpediency of carrying such treaty into effect, and to determine and act thereon, as their judgment may be most conducive to the public good.
Resolved, That it is not necessary to the propriety of any application from this house to the executive for information desired by them, and which may relate to any constitutional functions of the house, that the purpose for which such information may be wanted, or to which the same may be applied, should be stated in the application.
Mr. Harper, Mr. Dayton, and Mr. Kitchell, offered a few remarks with respect to the propriety of considering the resolutions now moved, or those laid on the table by Mr. Kitchell a few days ago, after which Mr. Madison rose, and went at length into the subject, & then the committee rose, and the house adjourned.
Thursday April 7. Mr. Blount's resolutions were taken up. There was no further debate upon them, and no motion of amendment.
The previous question was called, viz. Shall the question now be put? Yeas 54. Nays 37.
The yeas and nays were then taken on his first Resolution, and were Yeas 57, Nays 35.
On the second resolution the same.
The following message from the president accompanied a copy of the treaty with Spain, communicated to the house of representatives of the United States, on Thursday.
Gentlemen, the house of representatives. I send herewith a copy of the treaty of friendship, limits and navigation, concluded on the 27 of October last, between the United States and his Catholic majesty. This treaty has been ratified by me, agreeably to the constitution; and the ratification has been dispatched for Spain, where it will doubtless be immediately ratified by his Catholic majesty.
This early communication of the treaty with Spain has become necessary, because it is stipulated in the third article, that commissioners for running the boundary line between the territory of the United States and the Spanish colonies of East and West Florida, shall meet at the Natchez, before the expiration of six months from the ratification. And as that period will undoubtedly arrive before the meeting of the next congress, the house will see the necessity of making
provision, in their present session, for the object here mentioned. It will also be necessary to provide for the expence to be incurred in executing the 21st article of the treaty, to enable our fellow citizens to obtain, with as little delay as possible, compensation for the losses they have sustained by the capture of their vessels and cargoes by the subjects of his Catholic majesty during the late war between France and Spain.
Estimates of the monies necessary to be provided for the purposes of this and several other treaties with foreign nations, and the Indian tribes, will be laid before you by the proper departments.
GO. WASHINGTON. United States, March 29, 1796.

London accounts of Feb. 16, state, that Admiral Richery commander of the French squadron Cadiz, was preparing to leave that place, and to resist the British squadron commanded by Admiral Mann, whose place of rendezvous was at Lisbon. Admiral Richery's force was seven sail of the line and three frigates besides several British vessels captured by him in the Mediterranean, which he had armed. Admiral Mann's about 6 sail of the line and several frigates.
The whole circulating specie of England was estimated, during peace, at 20 millions sterling. It is alleged on good grounds, that since the beginning of the present war, the export of bullion amounts to 10 millions. This has occasioned a scarcity of specie—the Bank of England have lately circulated three discounts—a million of guineas have recently been coined and few old ones are seen in circulation.
The National Debt of Great Britain, may be estimated at present at 245 millions, the interest of which is about 13 millions a year; or one million each lunar month;—being 250,000 a week;—41661 for every working day of ten hours or 791. a minute, for the interest of the debt!
Extract of a letter from Charleston, March 6.
"There is a letter here from Paris, 70 day's date. One paragraph reads thus—"Citizen Genet is very popular in Paris." Men have lately become sensible of his patriotism and sufferings in America, for no other reason than his being a firm Republican."
The novelty of the following fact has we think rendered it worthy of record. Some few months since, a negro man who had obtained his freedom, purchased his father at a public sale; since when this species of property having appreciated, he has disposed of him, and made money by the speculation.

A compleat and well-chosen assortment of DRY GOODS, well adapted to the present and approaching season, by wholesale or retail, at a very low advance. Also, an assortment of GROCERIES.
A two story BRICK HOUSE on Main-street, an excellent situation for business.—That valuable and well known tract or parcel of LAND, situated at the mouth of Tate's creek, 15 miles from Lexington, on the main road leading to Madison court house, containing 1000 acres; 200 of which is excellent bottom, the remainder hilly, but well timbered; 60 acres cleared, and five acres in Timothy meadow, and twenty more can be made and watered with very little expence—On the upper part of this tract is erected a WHEAT-MILL and GRIST MILL—the situation is perfectly secure either from back water from the river, or floods in the creek—The house is fifty feet by forty with four rooms—The merchant mill has a sixteen feet pitch back water wheel, double geared French Burr stones; with bolting, dressing, screening, fanning and packing work, by water—The Grist Mill has a 12 feet water wheel, over-shot and double geared; the whole new and in complete order—The water empties from the mill into a pond, whereon stands a saw mill in good repair, and a new Hemp mill—There is also on the premises, a new framed Dwelling House, kitchen and store house with a number of useful cabins, and a large and never failing spring convenient: a RORE-WALK covered 250 feet, and may be extended over a level piece of ground 150 fathoms with every apparatus suitable for manufacturing cordage; a young bearing peach orchard; also a number of bearing apple trees.

NOTICE.
ALL persons having demands against John May deceased, either for money due to them, or for contracts payable in lands, are requested to transmit to the subscriber a copy of their demands or contracts. All who are indebted to said John May, either for money due to him, or contracts for land purchased from him, or for locating lands in the state of Kentucky, are requested to make payment, and to perform their specific contracts immediately. The said deceased has by his last will and testament, subjected his lands to the payment of his debts, and the subscriber will make it the first object of his administration to provide for the same, with as much dispatch as the nature and circumstances of the estate will admit of. And whereas the said John May met with a premature death by the hands of the Indians on his passage down the river Ohio, many papers and much information perished with him, 'tis probable the subscriber may need the information of others in some matters relative to the negotiation of the deceased, in the western country, and he will thankfully receive any communications which gentlemen acquainted with the concerns of the deceased, may think proper to make.
I have appointed Mr. Thomas Carneal my agent in Kentucky to receive and forward all communications in that state, 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.

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 M c Gregor, in Frankfort to Mr. George Madison, or Versailles to Doctor Preston, or to J. GRANT, W. HENRY, { Managers. J. HAWKINS.
