LONDON, September 12.
We enter on the duty of detailing the extraordinary event that occurred on Monday last in Paris, with emotions which it is not easy to describe. It is a proceeding which in every view, either of gigantic interest in its consequences, or of audacious character in its design, has scarcely a parallel since the commencement of the revolution itself, and it is impossible to speak of it in the language which applies to ordinary events. It may be asserted that there are occasions in the political as well as physical combinations of life, when all principles must yield to imperious necessity, and when all the rules of moral conduct are set at defiance. The admission of this axiom is all that the most odious tyranny demands for the the justification of every excess, and it is certain that it is sufficient to take from the most settled society every assurance that it can frame for its own independence. With this short observation, we preface the narrative of the new revolution in France. We shall faithfully lay before our readers every thing that the triumvirate has said in justification of the measure it so secretly contrived, and vigorously carried into execution; our readers will thereby be able to decide whether the circumstances of the Republic were such as to create the pretended necessity which supercedes all law; or whether it was merely a cabal of personal interests, in which a struggle for ascendancy is exalted into a shock for the deliverance of the people. The genuine friends of Liberty in every country, who are the steady and impartial spectators of this astonishing scene, and a severe posterity, free from all the passions which blind the performers, will pronounce judgment on the offenders.
The blow was struck between three and four o'clock on Monday morning the 4th of September. The confusion of dates from their new division of the year, made our correspondent call the 17th Fructidor the 4th, when it should have been the 3rd September. We yesterday morning received the following letters up to the 21st Fructidor, or Thursday last, the 7th, inclusive.
Paris, 29th Fructidor, Sept. 5.
The explosion has at last taken place. The events of yesterday are of the greatest importance. I am going to relate them in order as they happened:
During the night of the 17th, the commission of inspectors, with several members of both councils, had assembled in the hall of the 500 at the Thuilleries. At midnight general Moulin appeared at the gate of the Pont-tournant, which leads into the garden of the Thuilleries, from the square of the revolution, at the head of a considerable detachment, and demanded admittance, which was refused him by Ramel, commander of the guard of the legislative body. But upon the general's ordering two pieces of cannon to advance, and the grenadiers at the same time declaring against the commander, the gate was opened & Ramel arrested. The general then proceeded to the manege, where the members were deliberating, and found there Rovere, Bourdon, de L'Oise, Pichegru, Willot, and several others, all of whom he immediately arrested. Pichegru and Willot made some resistance, but were immediately seized and disarmed: it is even said, that Pichegru is grievously wounded. At the same time Barthelemy was arrested at the directory. But Carnot had contrived to make his escape.
Before the execution of this blow, the directory had taken care to have all the bridges, the square of the revolution, the avenues leading to the Thuilleries and the most considerable posts of the city occupied by strong detachments of troops, with cannon.
In the mean while general Ange-reau repaired to the barracks where the grenadiers of the legislative body were quartered, and having assembled them, asked them if they would follow him, to which they answered with one voice yes. They then demanded to see their ci-devant commander Ramel, and degraded him by pulling off his epaulets, and then marched to offer their service to the Directory. The walls were covered with different papers posted up by order of the Directory; copies of which you will find in the inclosed Redacteur.
At seven the arrested deputies were conveyed in six or seven carriages, to the temple.
At twelve, in consequence of an advertisement posted on the doors of both councils, the council of five hundred assembled at the Odeon, the ancient French theatre, near the Directory, and the Elders at the School of Surgery, not far from thence.
The Faubourg St. Antoine, well armed evidently by preconcert, came and offered their services to the Directory and both councils. They were thanked, and invited to repair to their respective occupations. Before they returned home they drew up in Rue des Frances Bourgeois, where general Angereau passed along the line, and was received with the loudest acclamations. They afterwards retired very peaceably.
During the whole day the bridges and posts were guarded by the troops; the streets especially about the Directory and the Councils, were crowded with incredible numbers of inquisitive persons, who seemed to be guided by no other motive than curiosity. Not the least outrage was committed, and the utmost order & tranquillity reigned in every quarter of the city.
At six in the evening the Directory answered the message of the Council of five hundred by sending papers relative to the conspiracy.
During the night the commission of five made report on the measures to be adopted in the present conjuncture, and proposed a project of a resolution, which you will find in the Moniteur.
The only uneasiness now entertained is from the friends of the constitution of 1793, or if you will the Mountaineers; but it is assured that the Directory has positively refused to employ them.
The barriers still remain shut. It is presumed that there are twelve or fifteen thousand troops at Paris, while all the issues from that city are completely blocked up by 25000 men, distributed around at the distance of five leagues, so that it is impossible for any person to escape.
No news hitherto of Carnot. Some say he has shot himself, while others pretend he was killed by some people who attempted to arrest him.
It is now one o'clock. Every thing is remarkably quiet.
From the Sentinelle.
One Peroteau, a gun smith, Rue Croix-des-petits, has been arrested. This villain has confessed, on his examination that the royal commissioners of Louis XVIII, had purchased from him 700 muskets, on bonds, signed with the initial letters R. . . . . The whole has been seized and confiscated, and the proofs and papers are now at the Bureau Central.
September 14.
A private letter from Paris dated the 7th inst. we yesterday received from a very intelligent correspondent. After the cursory view of affairs, which merely confirms the statements already made in the various papers, the writer assures us, "that the directory had some hours before dispatched a special messenger to Lisle, ordering the commissioner or plenipotentiary, on the part of France, to demand of lord Malmsbury a categorical answer to the last proposition. Should his lordship hesitate to comply with the request, or should his answer be hostile to the views of the directory, an intimation was to be given him, that his speedy departure from France would be satisfactory."
COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED.
Monday, September 4.
La Marque was nominated to the chair, provisionally, and he called on such persons as had discharged the office of secretary, to come to the Bureau, and act in that capacity.
The following message was then received from the directory. Message to the Councils of Five Hundred, and Elders, dated 18th Fructidor, September 4.
Citizens, Representatives,
"The Executive Directory hastens to communicate to you the measures it has been forced to take for the safety of the country, and the maintenance of the constitution. With this view, it transmits to you all the papers it has collected, as well as those it published before you were assembled. If it had withheld itself from action one day more, the Republic would have been delivered up to its enemies. The halls themselves in
which you meet, were the points of union to the conspirators: it was from thence that they yesterday emitted their cards and certificates for the delivery of arms: it was from thence that they corresponded with their accomplices last night: and finally, it is there, or in the environs, that they still endeavor to make seditious and clandestine assemblages, which the police is now employed in dispersing. It would have been to commit the public security, & that of the faithful representatives, to have allowed them to be confounded with the other enemies of the country. You see, citizens representatives, that the conduct of the Directory was marked out by the instant necessity of being beforehand with these conspirators, who were destroying the government, and who wished to deprive the French of the fruit of their triumphs, and to make this magnanimous nation bow at the feet of the kings it has subdued. In affairs of state, extreme measures can be estimated by circumstances alone: you will form a judgment of those which have determined the Executive Directory, and which have produced the happiest consequences."
"The 18th Fructidor (Sept. 4th) will be a celebrated day in the annals of France, it is the more memorable, because it enables you to fix forever the destinies of the Republic. Lay hold of this occasion, citizens, representatives; convert it into a great epoch; re-animate patriotism; revive public spirit; and hasten to close up the abyss in which the friends of kings had scattered themselves they would bury even the remembrance of our liberty."
"P. S. The Executive Directory will transmit to you without delay, other papers, from which it results, that Imbert Colomies, one of the new third of the Council of Five Hundred, was the principal agent of the soidisant Louis XVIII. at Lyons."
Along with this message there was delivered, the proclamations & decrees they had issued, together with the following documents:
Piece found at Venice in the Port Folio of the Count d'Antragues, and written wholly with his own hand. My conversation (it is d'Antragues who writes) with M. the Count de Montgailard, 4th September 1796, from 6 o'clock in the afternoon till midnight.
"The Count de Montgailard had been at Venice since the month of September; I knew the circumstance by public report; but without ever having seen him or heard speak of him. M. l'Abbe du Montel, his friend, had come to my house six weeks before, on a visit to me, from the Count, to make an apology, that the most urgent reasons prevented him from seeing me, and that he would explain the cause to me as soon as it was in his power."
"The . . . . . I received a letter from Fauche-Boullé, of Neufchatel, who requested me to remit 600 livres Tournois, to M. de Montgailard, and request him immediately to repair to Balle, and meet him there."
"I intimated this to M. de Montgailard. He again sent the Abbe du Montel to me, but first refused the 600 livres; a fortnight afterwards, however, he sent to have them, requested an interview upon the 1st of December, postponed it however, till the 4th, at last came that day at six o'clock, in the evening, with the Abbe du Montel."
"After having spoke to me very fully of his escape, his stay in England, his return to . . . . of his disputes with the rabble of the emigrants (Canaile d'émigration) who, every where, in every country, will do nothing themselves nor allow others to do any thing; and who, in the midst of their misery or madness, have more Jacobin democracy than even the Jacobin club had in the moment of its triumphs."
"In after having talked to me of all these sort of things, I said to him— But pray what are you doing now?— It is in order to inform you of that very circumstance; that I pay you this visit. But I must begin a little farther back."
"In the month of August, 1795, I was at Balle. I had previously quitted Holland, after I had received an order to quit that country, and at the same time an offer from Lord St. He-
* All the blanks in this writing point out the words that are illegible.
len's to remain, if I would promise to write no more, which I refused. Prior to this, I had a conversation with the minister of Denmark. He asked me what I thought of the revolution. replied only in general terms . . . . .
. . . . . in order to say I will speak my mind to you. I consider the confederate kings as cut-purses, who were picking each others pockets, when they are on the road to the gallows.
"It was after my journey to the Hague, that I went first to Neufchatel, then to Balle."
M. the Prince de Conde, sent for me to Mulheim, and knowing all the connexions I had in France, he proposed to me to found general Pichegru, whose head quarters were at Altkirchen.
"General Pichegru was there at that time, surrounded by four members of the convention."
"I repaired also with four or five hundred Louis to Neufchatel . . . . .
As a fit person to make the first overtures, I pitched upon Fauche-Boullé, king's printer at Neufchatel, your printer and mine, a man perfectly a fanatic in his attachment to royalty, full of courage, of zeal, of enthusiasm, with some judgment, but suppling every defect by his steadiness and piety. I joined to him as an associate M. Courant, a gentleman of Neufchatel, formerly 14 years in the service of the great Frederic, in the capacity of his agent . . . . . a man of expedition, of invincible coolness, which is of much more importance than valour. He is possessed of the most astonishing intrepidity. I persuaded them to undertake the commission. I furnished them with all the pretexts necessary, to enable them to travel into France as foreigners, merchants, and purchasers of national property. When I thought they were properly equip't, I recommended them to God and went to Balle, there to wait the news of their success."
"Upon the 12th of August, 1795, Fauche and Courant set off for the head quarters at Altkirchen,— they remained eight days, seeing general Pichegru surrounded by the representatives of the people and his generals, without having it in their power to speak to him. . . . . Pichegru however, perceived them, took notice of them, especially of Fauche, and seeing him very assiduous, in every place through which he passed, he guessed that this man had something to say to him, and as he passed by Fauche, he said aloud 'I am going to Huningen.' Fauche immediately set off, and repaired to that place. Pichegru was already there with the four representatives and seven generals."
"Fauche contrived to present himself to the general as he passed by at the bottom of a corridor. Pichegru took notice of him, looked steadily at him, and though it rained excessive hard, he said aloud, 'I am going to dine with madam de Salomon.'— the Chateau is three leagues from Huningen; and this madam de Salomon is Pichegru's mistress. Fauche immediately set out, reached the village, went to the chateau after dinner, & enquired for general Pichegru,— the latter received him in a corridor taking coffee."
"Fauche then told him, that being in possession of a manuscript of J. J. Rousseau he was desirous to dedicate it to him. "Very well," said Pichegru, "but I must read it first, for Rousseau has principles of liberty very different from mine, and with which I should be very sorry to connect my name." But said Fauche, "I have something else to say to you." "and pray what is that, and by whom are you commissioned?" "By M. the prince de Conde." "Hush, and follow me . . . . . Then he led him alone into a private closet.— there he said to him "Explain yourself; what commission has M. the prince de Conde for me?"
"Fauche, embarrassed and unable to find expressions, stammered and hesitated—"courage," said Pichegru, my sentiments are the same with those of the prince de Conde; what does he wish with me?"— Fauche encouraged, returned, "M. the prince of Conde desires to . . . . . himself to you, he relies upon you; he wishes to conduct himself with you."—"This is vague and useless, it means nothing at all. Return and ask written instructions, and come back in three days to my head quarters at Altkir-

then; you will find me alone, precisely at six o'clock in the evening." "Fauche, immediately left the place, arrived at Halle, ran to my house, and transported with joy, gave me an account of every thing that had passed. To be continued.
PHILADELPHIA, November 7.
A gentleman who arrived last evening in the stage from New York, communicates the following intelligence. He left that city on Sunday morning at ten o'clock, just as the ship Mary, that sailed from London on the 22nd September last came to her mooring.
Col. Hall or Hill, of Newark who was a passenger in the ship came in the stage with him, and communicated the following important particulars.
A great movement had taken place in Paris. The Royalist party had been wholly overthrown. Carnot and two of his secretaries were assassinated. Barthelemi was condemned to be banished to Cayenne. He had petitioned that Switzerland might be the place of his banishment. Sixty five members of the council of Five Hundred, Pichegru among the number, had been put into a state of arrestation.
Lord Malmesbury's baggage had arrived in England and he was hourly expected. He was returning without having obtained peace.
We cannot but lament, that the operation of the new French constitution should be disturbed by any irregularities, but if the Royalists, who were undermining it, could not be got rid of without an extra constitutional exertion, it was the lesser evil; for "The safety of the people is the first law."
It is possible, however, that the arrestation of the members of the council of Five Hundred and the banishment of Barthelemi may have taken place without the violation of a constitution. Who are the murderers of Carnot we are unable to inform.
November 8.
No certain account is received of the fate of Carnot. Some reports stated him to have been killed, others to have escaped the order of arrest. We conjecture that he was suffered to escape by those who gave the order.
On the 10th of September the deputies condemned to transportation left Paris at 4 o'clock in the morning in covered waggons under a very strong guard. They were to be embarked at Rochfort.
The papers brought by the Mary do not say that lord Malmesbury has returned, but a passenger in that vessel, saw a London print of the 20th of September, which contained a letter from Mr. Dundas to the lord mayor of London, informing that lord Malmesbury's baggage had just arrived and that all negotiations had broken off. The war with England will now be carried on on the part of France with all the energy that characterised the military operations of 94.
November 9.
The documents which relate to the recent political movements in Paris are so bulky, that it requires much reading and examination before it is possible to make up a complete opinion upon all its parts.
We have for some time back observed with regret, that there was in Paris, and in the public councils of France, particularly in the council of Five Hundred, a royalist party which appeared every day to encrease in audacity, if not in numbers. This faction we have but little doubt was connected with the foreign enemies of the Republic; indeed it may not be too much to say, that a party among us, if they were not their abettors, were at least privy to their plans and calculated their measures upon the success of them. This opinion is strengthened by the outcry made by the gazettes of that party, and by the consequences they appear to fear from the defeat of the royalists and the triumph of the Republicans. We reserve to another day an opinion on the consequences of the political movement in France upon this country, and shall now confine ourselves to a few observations on the nature and consequences of it to France.
The royalist faction counted much upon their strength if we may judge from the tone which their papers in Paris had assumed; which had already proclaimed the necessity of an over-
throw of the constitution as invalid from its not being fairly accepted, and openly proposed to butcher the three members of the directory most firmly opposed to their views, and others of their influential opponents. Of this we shall give proof as soon as the press of news permits.
This faction had repealed the laws banishing the non-juring clergy and emigrants, many of whom had in consequence returned and were intriguing powerfully in the capital and the departments. The directory were jealous of these measures, but which they could not constitutionally oppose having no negative upon the laws: Yet they took such steps as were in their power, to prevent the effect of them, and this with the most fortunate secrecy. It was hoped that the unequivocal manner in which the armies declared themselves, would have confounded the royalists in the council; but though it appears to have occasioned a momentary pause, the desperate faction went forward only cloaking their views with rather more hypocrisy.
The storm was ready to burst upon the Republicans; already were the satellites of royalty in motion to murder the three members of the directory and others who had most vigorously opposed their views; (and had they succeeded, torrents of blood would now deluge France) when the directory put in motion the means they had provided, with so much calmness and firmness as to secure the leaders of the counter-revolutionary faction, without causing one single drop of blood to be shed. The two councils then decreed, that these individuals, thus arrested, (after excepting some from the decree) should be transported.
The conduct of the directory in this business was no doubt extra constitutional, as well as the decree of transportation passed by the councils; but was it a greater evil to overthrow the bounds of the constitution than, to suffer its entire overthrow and the re-establishment of the throne? That this was the project of the prostituted party, is evident from the prints in their interest: from the speeches of their leaders, and from the documents which the directory had in their possession and have shown to the world. If these documents prove that such was the plan of their antagonists (and we think they do) they will stand justified on the ground, that the safety of the people is even more commanding than the binding obligation of a constitution.
How Barthelemi and especially Carnot should be found among the proscribed is difficult to conceive. We do not find their names implicated in those documents communicated by the directory to the council which have fallen into our hands. Perhaps all of them have not reached us. This however is certain, that both those men were for some time past dishonoured by the praise of the royal gazettes of Paris. Pichegru it appears beyond a doubt was a traitor to the Republic.
Most of the documents which prove the counter-revolutionary projects of the monarchists were found in the portefeuille of the count d'Antraigues, who was taken by Bernadotte at Tricef. These were sent to the three directors Larevelliere, Rewbel and Barras by Buonaparte, and this accounts for the millions at different times of Scherer, Massena and Augereau to Paris, who certainly did not come merely as the bearers of captured standards.
A gentleman who came passenger in the Mary, informs, that Mr. Marshall, one of the American commissioners, had arrived in Holland. We do not find, in the English prints, any accounts of the arrival of Mr. Marshall or Mr. Gerry.
BALTIMORE, November 9.
Carnot and Barthelemi, being under a charge of conspiracy, a new choice is said to have been made, and declared in favour of Merlin de Douais and Francois de Neufchateau.

Wednesday, November 29.
Just published, and for sale at this office, by the grois, dozen or single, THE KENTUCKY ALMANAC For the Year of our Lord, 1798.
Notice
IS hereby given, that I shall petition the present Kentucky assembly for leave to establish a turnpike gate on the top of Cumberland mountain—and the terms of passage will be as follows (which I am sure the generous public will think reasonable) to wit, for every man and horse twenty five cents, loose or pack horse twelve and a half cents, every foot passenger twelve and a half cents (females excepted who are allowed to pass my gate toll free, provided they travel on foot, but if on horse back twelve and a half cents for every such horse:) poor males, bond or free, who have no money, must leave a blanket, coat or some wearing apparel, to the value of ten times the tollage. Every waggon which may be traveling Kentucky wards, without oxen, horses or mules, one hundred cents, every one hauled by either of the said animals, must pay an additional tollage of twelve and a half cents, for every such beast, all other wheel carriages traveling on the same plan, in like proportion, every person who resides in the neighbourhood passing my gate, going to or returning from mill, twenty five cents.
To convince the public of the great utility arising from such an establishment, I beg leave to lay before them the following statement, (which I think is on the most reasonable scale) to wit, for twelve months suppose
Passengers per day on horse Dols. back, 30 at 25 cents equal to 2736 23 or 821
Loose and pack horses, per day, 16, at 12 1-2 cents 730 219
Blankets and other old clothing, suppose 250 75
Waggons and teams, suppose per year 100 at 9. 150 45
Total amount per annum 3666 23 or 1160
to be appropriated as follows, to wit, 500 dollars to be paid to a company of men who shall go from the said gate to the Crab Orchard and trim off the small shrubs from those stumps which stand on each side of the road, digging a little earth in different places where it is clearest of stone and least wanted, and thereby prevent the said road from becoming the same dangerous wilderness which it was 17 years ago. This work I shall direct to be done in the month of September, and five hundred dollars more I shall give another company of men, who must go from the said gate to the said Crab Orchard, and cut three notches in a few trees which may stand most convenient to said road, and thereby prevent strangers from being beguiled a fortnight or so on their way through the wilderness. This I shall direct to be done about the middle of November, (if fair weather) when the ground is covered with leaves. Now the balance, 2866 23 dollars or 860. I am persuaded will be thought little enough for my trouble in attending to the said gate 12 months, and 1000 applied as I have above directed, cannot fail to give the public full satisfaction when they see the great improvement such service will be to the said road. I trust they will think my petition reasonable, and grant the same to their humble servants.
A Friend to Turnpike Gates & Good Roads.
Extract of a letter from the North of Ireland
"We are under Martial Law; a Military Court Martial determines the fate of the unfortunate Patriots; an officer of the lowest rank can, without the assistance of Magistrate or Jury, put to death or burn houses as he pleases; both they have done.—We have got an ignorant Scotch Lieutenant of Penciples with his party of men an Stranerylen; he can burn the house of a suspected man or fire upon half a dozen of people assembled together; and an act of parliament is now passed preventing more than four people attending a funeral. If a man is out of his house at a friends, after night, and suspected of being a Patriot, (dare not say United Irishman) he can be transported. I cannot tell you how many blessings we enjoy in
this small space; not a farthing of money in the country, and every lot of produce a mere drug, nor do we go one night to rest, without the dread of being burned alive in the houses; and yet we are said to enjoy liberty, by the government party."
A countryman in England detected shooting partridges, executed himself to the squire, a violent church and king man, by saying he was learning to shoot at the French, should they attempt to land.—"But why," said the squire "do you shoot at my game; why do you not stick a mark on a tree and shoot at that?"—"That would not answer the purpose," replied the countryman, "you have always told me the French will run away, and therefore I must learn to shoot them flying."
SUBSTITUTE FOR MEN.
A projector, at Hamburgh, lately made proposals to the magistracy for their patronage, to enable him to carry into effect a machine which he had invented to fix in houses, &c. to give notice of the approach of thieves. It was not only infallible in awakening any person asleep, but would, at the same time, ring a bell, strike a light, or if required, fire a gun, without the necessity of the family getting out of bed. Nothing according to the inventor, could equal the simplicity of its construction, but notwithstanding he warned the public to beware of counterfeits, a rival in ways and means asserted, that he also had a machine that would not only perform every thing in common with the former, "but even apprehend and carry the thief before a magistrate, without giving the person robbed any further trouble!!"

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
ON THE APPROACH OF WINTER.
VICTORIOUS see him rushing forth From the cold regions of the North, His magazine of war; The boisterous winds that rudely play, Untam'd by Sol's meridian ray, Bear on their icy car.
Nought can resist his mighty force, As o'er the earth he speeds his course, Swift as the dawning light; His near approach loud storms presage, Fly the fierce heralds of his rage, And put the sun to flight.
Let souls, that live the slaves of fear, Think every charm has left the year, And teach themselves to mourn; But tho' he bid th' assembled host Of all his terrors, storm our coast, I'll welcome his return.
Each staid season, as it flies, Comes a fresh witness from the skies Of Heaven's benignant plan: And Winter in his roughest form, Cloth'd with the horrors of the storm, Is still the friend of man.
What, tho' gay nature cease to bloom, And the cold air breathes no perfume, Beneath a frigid sky? Health shall be wafted on the gale, Whose swifter wings bear snow and hail, And pale disease shall fly.
Let the bright orb of day retire, We'll gather round the genial fire; Nor with a kinder sun; There shall the social virtues smile, Love shall shake off each modern wile, And all our hearts be one.
ANECDOSE.
A lady at sea, being full of delicate apprehensions in a gale of wind, cried out, among other pretty exclamations, "We shall all go to the bottom—mercy on us how my head swims!" "Zounds, madam, never fear, (said a sailor,) you can never go to the bottom while your head swims."
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 M c Call's Apothecary's shop near stray 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 300lbs. of Holland juniper berries, and 100lbs. 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 300lbs. 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 Taz'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, neatly 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.
J. GEARY. Samples of several sorts of the cordials, &c. may now be seen at the house of Mr. M c Call's.
ON the fifteenth day of December 1797, if fair, if not, on the next fair day, I shall attend with the commissioners appointed by the court of Nelson county, at Germantown in said county, in order to take the depositions of witnesses to establish the claim of Joseph Rogers assignee of Robert M c Means—a pre-emption of four hundred acres, near or at said town—and do such other things as may be tho't necessary and agreeable to law.

35 Doctor Samuel Brown,
BEGS leave to inform the PUBLIC, that he will practice MEDICINE and SURGERY in LEXINGTON and its VICINITY—He occupies the house in which Mr. Love lately lived, opposite to Mr. Stewart's printing office.
He will undertake, on reasonable terms, to instruct one or two pupils, who can bring good recommendations. September 5, 1795. tf
The public, I presume, has seen a piece inserted by Benjamin S. Cox and Joseph Fenwick, in the Kentucky Gazette, with the design of injuring me, in the sale of my lands. Their publication (malicious as it is) should pass un-answered, but that I am apprehensive my silence might be construed into a confession of their charges and an acknowledgment of their claim.—Now I do assert that I never sold land to Daniel Broadhead, nor can he legally claim a foot of property under me—If he could, why do not the persons claiming under him, make it appear? I have been three years constantly in this state, and always desirous that my land disputes might be terminated, as during their continuance I have been exposed to much cruel and unmerited censure. In all this time little, or nothing has been done by my opponents. Messrs. Cox and Fenwick have published that for all the lands advertised by them, a suit has been commenced in the court of Quarter Sessions for Fayette. That I deny. 'Tis true a subpoena issued against me in the Fayette District, in April last,—but 'tis equally true, that the complainants have never yet filed their bill. From those circumstances, the public, I think may form a just estimate of the validity of their title. A claim so important, if it could have been established, would not have been so long neglected; or, at least, after commencing suit, they would have pursued with more keenness if they had imagined they had any chance of success. These lands I shall continue to sell, and I trust I shall be able to remove the doubts of any person who is disposed to buy. Let Messrs. Cox and Fenwick, in future know, that I despise the hypocritical cant of their publication. After accusing me of fraudulent intentions against innocent people—they kindly say they have no intention of injuring me. Let me ask the gentlemen if they would not think such a charge injurious? To them, indeed it might not be so—but most men would feel it sensibly, and in spite of their fawning complaisance, would resent it as I do.
