To all to whom it may concern.
BE it known, that all persons who have business to transact with the Government of Kentucky, may by enquiry, find the Executive in the neighbourhood of the Knob Lick; the Secretary sometimes in Lexington; the Auditor in Mercer county; the Treasurer in Lincoln county; the Register sometimes in Lexington; the Superior Courts at the spot which the public convenience stubbornly requires them (Lexington)—the Federal Court for this district at Harrodsburg; the Post-office at Danville—the Legislative body the Lord knows where, perhaps in the pleasant valley of Frankfort, surrounded by the sublime and romantic cliffs of the beautifully meandering Kentucky—The way-worn traveller may there find repose from his fatigue, and enjoy the pleasures of enlightened society in a style perfectly new—in addition to the extensive view of the much varied hills, which this truly delightful place afford him, he will be regaled with a salubrious assuavia, of which nothing but a vertical sun will deprive him—This happy and convenient arrangement of the different departments of government, must be obvious to every citizen and serves as one proof among many others, of the disinterested conduct of our officers. HERALD.
***** L O N D O N, September 16.
The following atrocious actions, lately practised at Paris, it would be criminal to conceal; they are given on the credit of an immediate eye-witness:
“The Countess du Chevre, with her five children, the oldest not 11 years of age, were massacred at her house, Rue de Bacq, on the 31, and their bodies exposed before the door. The children were first assassinated before the eyes of their parent. She bore this infernal sight with a fortitude supernatural—the embraced the bleeding head of the youngest, and met her fate with the most heroic contempt. The wretches first cut off the arms that sustained her last sad comfort, and then severed her head from her body.
In the same street, an old Swiss gentleman, M. d'Aubert, about 70, who before the revolution had some place under government, was thrown alive into a fire kindled of the furniture belonging to the different hotels of the emigrants. Thrice he ran from the flames, and as often was driven back, at last, with their pikes, the sanguinary monsters pinned him there, and, insultingly demanded him to sing Ca ira , danced around the fire singing themselves, in the true spirit of North American savages.
“One Grunault and his wife lived in the Rue Jacob; he was a grocer—the mob assassinated them both.

Provident of their children, though hopeless of their own safety, they had sent them to a friend's house in their neighbourhood, that if possible, they might be saved. They were met, however, by 30 or 40 children who were going as they said, to dispatch all the young aristocrats. They attacked the servant who was going with them, beat the poor children with their sticks, and finally, with their pen knives cut off their heads. The poor murdered children were four and six years old, and no one of the little fiends who dispatched them, I am confident, was above twelve.
"Not the slightest expression of concern, much less horror, appeared in the faces of the populace, at these unaccountable villanies: and the women even encouraged these infant furies."
"Many, with courage, surely pitiable, almost justifiable, gave themselves a death that approached more terrible in the garb of these assassins. Hundreds placed themselves upon three bridges, and when the mob appeared, threw themselves into the Seine."
A gentleman who left Paris on Wednesday week, assures us that terrible accounts detailed in the London papers of the dreadful cruelties transacted in that unfortunate capital, so far from being exaggerated, come very short of the truth. That 6000 people were absolutely murdered by one pretended jury of twelve, sitting in one of the prisons. That three large waggons were employed without intermission for six and thirty hours, in carrying the dead bodies out of Paris, and throwing them promiscuously into a pit dug for the purpose. The stench caused by the putrefaction of the heads and limbs scattered through the streets, was become intolerable; and plague, pestilence and famine seemed stalking on with tremendous strides to put an end to those persons whom fire and sword have hitherto spared.
The King, during the tumult on Monday se'nnight in Paris, was placed in an interior apartment of the Temple, that the populace might not be irritated by the sight of him and was attended constantly by one National Guard. The people once approached the Temple, the guard of which unloaded their guns, reversed their bayonets and contented themselves with placing the barrier of a blue ribbon upon the gates, with an inscription, intreating that it might be respected. Some of the populace, after killing this ribbon, and declaring their resolution, not to violate that barrier, obtained permission to carry the head of Madame Lamballe under the window of the Queen, to shew, as they said, "the dreadful result of all plots against the people." The crowd then withdrew, and the Temple has not been since menaced.
In Paris, the women as usual, are among the most ardent in the display of patriotic actions. From five hundred to a thousand work during the whole day in public places, preparing knapsacks and other articles for the army. This service is entirely voluntary, and they pursue it with steadiness, which even the frequent applauses of the populace do not divert. The wives of many respectable persons are thus employed.
Two ladies have appeared before the National Assembly to require that half the duty of the posts in Paris should be entrusted to women, in order that a greater number of men might be spared for the camps. Mademoiselle Montausier, the proprietor of the splendid theatre, which bears her name, led to the National Assembly 95 workmen employed about the theatre, who were willing immediately to march for the army.
Upon a previous report, that arms were concealed in the theatre, the municipal officers made searches, for the satisfaction of the populace, and found only such as were used in the entertainments of the place.
During the massacre on Monday se'nnight in Paris, an old man was brought into the hall, where a sort of tribunal was held in one of the prisons, accompanied by a young lady, who had not quitted him for 8 days. The man who officiated as judge, upon seeing him, said to the people, "innocent or guilty, it will be unworthy of us to sully our hands with the blood of this old man." A cry of "Grace, Grace," immediately arose: his young attendant fell upon his bosom, and they were carried home in the arms of the populace.
It is now certain that the late massacre was first provoked by some renewed preparations for an attack, on the part of the remaining friends of the court in Paris, which several circumstances have in some degree disclosed. Arms had been distributed to many prisoners, and at the Bicetre great numbers were actually found. The populace who took 7 cannon to the attack of that place, appear to have known this. Some of the prisoners were overheard to say, that in two or three days the gates would be open to them. But the circumstance which immediately excited the popular vengeance, was the seizure of sixteen persons armed with pistols and piquets, among whom were the Archbishop of Arles and the Vicar of St. Feriol of Marseilles.
The populace, who were then running in the utmost agitation to the Champ de Mars, where they had been invited by the Community to assemble, would nevertheless have conducted them from the court to the palace to the Commune of the Four Sections, when some resisted, and one fired a pistol, which mortally wounded a citizen. They were then immediately sacrificed.

Christopher Kiser.

In the House of REPRESENTATIVES Dec. 18th 1792.
M R. S. Taylor from the Committee who were appointed to prepare and report the probable actual amount of the Revenue and expenditures of this State, made the following report viz.
Your Committee have examined the returns made to the Auditor by the Commissioners of the tax, and where no returns have been made, they have formed the best estimate in their power of the amount of the taxable property in such counties, and find the amount of the whole tax which is to be collected by the Sheriffs to be about £6640 9 0 2 which after deducting six per cent for collection leaves a balance of £6242 10 1 2
Your Committee had no data from which they could form an opinion of the amount of the taxes on law process and alienations, which are to be collected by the Clerks; but have ventured to suppose it will amount to about £200 which after deducting five per cent for collection will leave a balance of £190 to be paid into the public Treasury, which added to the sum of £6242 10 1 2 the sum of £6432 10 2 which will be the probable amount of the actual Revenue of this State.
Your Committee having been at considerable loss in fixing the amount of expenditures of Government, as far as they had materials for that purpose, they have used them where they failed, they were obliged to have recourse to conjecture, the amount thus ascertained they make to be about £4471 18 1 2 03 which a year from the account annexed.
Your Committee have thus discharged the duty enjoined on them by the House, but think it proper to add a few remarks on the subject.
The second tax which will be payable in this State, will commence the first day of December 1793, and as that tax is the expenses of the Government will be to be paid by the State for the ensuing year; because the government commenced its operation the first of June 1792; therefore unless there is a sufficient sum levied to pay the expenses of the whole year at that time there will be debts due from the State of which must be provided for at some future day, perhaps it may be necessary to take the tax of this half year into consideration in the imposing of taxes at this time, because the same tax next year will from the natural increase of the subjects of taxation from the information of emigrants to the State by emigrants, and from the new settlements which will be made on our out lands, together with such as have raised in growing but returned to the present year (owing to various causes) will probably produce as much more than it will on the present collection, as will be equal to the amount of the expenditures of the first session of Assembly; because it is supposed that one session a year will be sufficient hereafter, and because in many of the public offices were not filled at the time the government took place, and as many arrangements, which swell the expenses, has since and may yet be made, it is probable the additional expense caused by the first six months including the expenses of the first session, will not be more than equal to the annual expenses in future of the State.
Your Committee cannot close their report without observing with pleasure that as the annual expenditures of the government will not hereafter exceed what it is at present including the expense of the first session £4000 and thus as the amount of the Revenue must be annually increased, by the increase of the subjects of taxation as stated above that after the second collection of the taxes now laid, there is the greatest reason to believe that they may be greatly decreased until they will become so low as not to be very burthensome to our fellow citizens.
