SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1795.
LEXINGTON; Printed by JOHN BRADFORD, at his Office on Main Street; where Subscriptions, (at Fifteen Shillings per Annum) Advertisements &c. are thankfully received, and Printing in its different branches done with care and expedition.
At a conference held on the 7th and 8th of November 1794, at Tuckoo Blockhouse (on the north bank of the Tennessee) between William Blount, governor in and over the Territory of the United States of America south of the river Ohio, and col. John Watts, of Wills's town (one of the lower Cherokee towns) Scolacutta, or Hanging Maw, and other chiefs of the Cherokee nation; at which were present about four hundred warriors, and several citizens of the United States, namely, col. Abishai Thomas, Major Sevier, major David Craig, capt. Samuel Henry, ensign Samuel Davidson, commanding at that post, and others.
JAMES CAREY, interpreter. Governor Blount. (addressing himself to col. Watts) Upon being informed, by Mr. M'Kee, that you were here, and wished to see me about the affairs of your nation, I hastened to meet you. I am happy in this interview, because your presence here is an evidence of the wish of the lower towns for peace, whose principal chief I have ever considered you, and in Scolacutta I behold the true head of your whole nation.—Having opened the conference, I shall sit down, and first expect the talk of col. Watts.
Colonel Watts. This meeting appears to be ordered by the great spirit, and affords me great pleasure. Here is Scolacutta, he is old enough to be my father, and from my infancy he was a great man, and is now the great chief of the nation. In the spring of the year, he sent a talk to the lower towns, telling them he and the Upper towns had taken the United States fast by the hand, with a determination to hold them fast during life, and inviting the lower towns to do the same. With tears in my eyes, have I thought of this talk, and beheld the folly of the lower towns, who at first refused to hear it. But just before the destruction of the Running Water and Nickajack, by major Ore, I went to them as well as the Look Out Mountain town, and exerted myself for the restoration of peace; and I verily believe those towns had heard my talks, and were determined to be at peace with the United States. I do not say the Running Water and Nickajack did not deserve the chastisement they received; nevertheless it so exasperated those who escaped from the ruins, that for a time I was compelled to be silent myself: but the Glasi went to the Running Water people, and they told the Glasi, that notwithstanding the injury they sustained, they had not forgot his (Watts's) good talks, but still hold them fast; and desired him to take measures for the recovery of their prisoners. When this answer was reported to me by the Glasi, I had my doubts and would not act upon it, for they had told me so many lies I was afraid to trust them. I then sent the Bloody fellow to the Running Water,
and he returned with the same report, which induced me to come forward to you, knowing you were the man the United States had authorised to transact such business, I deliver this, (presenting a string of white beads) as a true talk and a public talk from the lower towns to you. Scolacutta, the head man of the nation, is sitting by me; the lower towns instructed me to request him not to throw them away but to come with me to you to present this talk in their behalf.
By a prisoner taken by major Ore, and sent back by general Robertson, I received a letter from him, requiring me to deliver up a white prisoner and a certain number of negroes, and that the prisoners taken by major Ore should be restored to their nation. In this letter the general invited me to come to him with a flag; but as the woman was pursued by some bad white people, and obliged to quit her horse and save herself in the cane, altho I know general Robertson to be a good man, I thought it imprudent to go to him; besides I know that an exchange of prisoners could only be negotiated with you. As to prisoners in my town (Wills's town) there are none; and when the people of my town once took a man of great worth (capt. Hanly) they restored him without price.
Scolacutta or the Hanging Maw. I too have a talk from the lower towns. They were once my people; but not now. Yet I cannot but think much about the talk I have received by Watts. Before any thing happened to these towns I had sent them many peace talks, which they would not hear; but now, since the attack made upon them by major Ore, they send to me to make peace for them in conjunction with Watts. I am the head man of my nation, as governor Blount is of the white people. It was not the fault of either that those towns were destroyed; but their own conduct brought destruction upon them; the trail of murderers and thieves was followed to those towns. Nevertheless I cannot neglect the request they have made to me to make peace for them, as I hope they have seen their folly, and will desist from murdering and robbing the people of the United States and live in peace. I shall then hope to live much longer; for their bad conduct drew the white people on me, who injured me nearly unto death. This talk I deliver on the part of the lower towns; and if they do not now desist from war and live at peace, I will give them up to the United States to deal with as they shall judge proper.
All last winter I was compelled to lie in the woods, by the bad conduct of my own people, drawing war upon me. In the spring of the year a communication was opened with you—You invited me to meet your deputy, John M'Kee, in nine days, which I did. John M'Kee assured me of the peaceful
disposition of the United States, and told me and my party to return to their home and fields; this I also did. I could hear from several parts of the nation, threats against my life, to be executed by killing the white people in my neighbourhood, and thereby draw them on me and my party. I then solicited that this block house or fort should be erected, as serving to protect me and my party, as well as the frontier inhabitants, and open a communication between the white and red people. I still heard murmuring from several parts of my nation with threats that they would have no intercourse with it, or with John M'Kee but I now see standing round me, many of those very people, who are glad to come to it, and to be in friendship with John M'Kee, and at peace with the United States. They need not find fault with John M'Kee. I have found him to be an honest man, and never heard any thing from him but the truth.
November 8.
Governor Blount.—It is with pleasure I receive from you the information that the lower Cherokees with peace with the United States.—When you (addressing himself to Watts) the bloody fellow and the Glasi, the three greatest chiefs of the Lower Towns, come forward with such assurances, I can no longer doubt the sincerity with which they are made—Peace with the whole Cherokee nation has ever been the wish of the United States, and it is yet their wish, so that the lower towns have only to keep peace on their part and it will be peace.
By saying the lower towns, requested you to take measures for the recovery of the prisoners, I understand that they wish an exchange of prisoners; to this I agree, and propose that a general exchange of prisoners shall take place at this post on the 18th of December—all negroes in your hands, whether captured or absconded from their masters, are to be delivered up.
My letter to the chiefs of the lower towns of the first instant, has informed you of the threatened invasion of those towns by general Logan, with a large party of men from Kentucky, unauthorised by government.—I have now to add, as my advice to you and your people, that in case Logan should carry his intended invasion of your country into execution, and should he kill many or few of your people, or destroy much of your property, that it shall not prevent the proposed exchange of prisoners, nor prevent the meeting at this place on the 18th of December, when we will endeavour to heal all matters of difference that can at that time exist between the lower towns and the United States, and in the mean time, let the injuries received by your nation from general Logan be what they may, you will consult the happiness of
your nation: and insure the blessing of returning peace by restraining the warriors from turning out and taking satisfaction—Peace must take place at some time, and the less blood is shed the sooner, and more easily will it be effected. I assure you in case you do not oppose general Logan, nor take satisfaction for such injuries as he may do you, that the United States will pay you for the loss of such houses and corn, as he may destroy, your other property you can move out of the way.—The United States are very tender of their citizens and love peace, and would prefer paying you for your houses and corn, to having them killed in satisfaction for your injuries, or to being forced into a war with your nation.
It is essential to the happiness of your nation that I should speak plainly to you about the Creeks, by whose hands you are sensible the frontier inhabitants of this country have bled at every pore, they are without a pretext for such conduct, that these people have taken their lands, for is it not a fact, that in the division of lands among the red people, that the ridge which divides the waters of Mobile and Tennessee bounds them on the north? Then they pass quite through the Cherokee and Chickasaw lands to arrive at our frontiers, and there kill our men at their ploughs, or our women and children in their houses.
If you would secure a continuance of peace with the United States, it will be a duty you owe yourselves as well as the United States, not to permit the Creeks to pass through your country; or if any should slip through, & your people should discover them on their return with hair or horses, to seize them and bring them to this place, as the upper towns served one last summer.
I have now to tell you what I believe to be the general will of the United States with respect to the Creeks, which is, if they do not immediately desist from murdering the frontier citizens, and also cease to rob them of their property, that next spring or summer they will see a strong army in their country; and it is well known, that the Chickasaw nation and part of the Choctaws, are great friends of the United States and enemies of the Creeks; and it is recently proved, that the upper part of your nation are determined no longer to submit to their insolence and injuries—You are at liberty to tell to the Creeks what I say, not so much as a threat, but as information to them, to enable them to judge how best to seek their own happiness.
Colonel Watts.—I with the time proposed for the exchange of prisoners had been sooner, but as I suppose, you put it off to so distant a day, to afford time to collect them, I agree to it.—I fear the damage general Logan will do my nation will be very great, but as

you advise, I shall instruct all my people, and whatever he may do shall not prevent the proposed meeting and exchange of prisoners.
What you say about the boundary of the Creek lands is right, but they are a great and powerful nation, and the Cherokees are but few and cannot prevent their passing through their lands when they please to war; and on their passage they kill our hogs and cattle, and steal our horses, which we dare not resist. The upper Cherokees were right in seizing one last summer and delivering him up to you, and in killing two others; they live far from the Creek country and have the white people to support them; but the lower towns are but few, live near the Creeks, and too distant from the white people to be supported by them. I know the Chickasaws and live of the Choctaw towns are friends to the United States, and will fight against their enemies.
Scolacutta on the Hanging Maw . I ordered the Creek seized—I ordered the two Creeks to be killed, and I will kill my own people, if they kill white people. He is some tobacco sent by the Long Warrior, just delivered to me by a runner; you must smoke some of it—[Here a pipe was handed, and Scolacutta, col. Watts, the governor, and others smoked.]—He speaks peace for his part of the nation; he has long been a head man, and loves peace.
Governor Brant . I have omitted to give you the particulars of general Wayne's victory over the northern Indians, (addressing himself to col. Watts) but if you wish to hear them, I will give them.
Colonel Watts . I do not. Some of my people were in the action, who have already informed me.
Governor Brant . Then I have nothing more to add, except to repeat to you and your nation, that peace is the wish of the United States.
***** WINCHESTER, December 15. Latest intelligence from the seat of War.
Philadelphia, December 4. Capt. Hughes of the brig Hou-brook arrived yesterday afternoon from Bourdeaux, which place he left on the 17th of October. We have not been able to procure a sight of the printed accounts he brings; but hope to have some papers in time for our next. He says:
That the French have beaten Gen. Clairfayt again near Juliers, where he lost 5000 men; that the fortress surrendered in consequence of the defeat, and that the General had retreated as far as Cologne on the Rhine.
Juliers is the last place of defence in that part of the country, and the French will have no difficulty in taking Cologne, about 20 miles west of it, as, though a place of considerable consequence, it is totally defenceless, it is impossible Clairfayt should make a stand here, and he will probably cross the Rhine with all expedition in order to breathe freely once more in the mountains of Westphalia.
By this further retreat of Clairfayt, the Prussian Duchy of Cleves, Guelders, the electorate of Cologne are in the power of the French, indeed the whole of the country west of the Rhine is in their possession except the fortress of Luxembourg, Maastricht and a few other places of less consequence.
As to the taking of Helvoetsluys and Rotterdam, if they have really fallen into the hands of the French they must have been the reward of a naval expedition, probably of the fleet of gun boats, &c. which we know were fitting out at Ostend.
We some time since announced that the French had retaken Belegale, the only place belonging to the French republic then in possession of their enemies. From a Paris paper, we were favoured with last evening, received by the late arrival at New-York from Havre, we are able to give the following official account of its surrender:
Official Intelligence. From the General in chief of the army of the Eastern Pyrenees to the commander of Bellegrade. Head quarters the 2d Sans-Culot-tide
"I can admit none of the conditions. The garrison must surrender at discretion, and will await its fate from French generosity."
DUGOMMIER. Answer of the Spanish commander. "To thy reply I answer, that I agree to the proposals and offers." Marquis of VALLESENTORE. Bellegrade, Sept. 18.
December 5. We do not find that capt. Hughes brings papers later than those we were already in possession of, viz. October 6. The intelligence he communicates verbally was noted in our last. The capture of Helvoetsluys and Rotterdam were events currently believed some days before he left Bourdeaux, the intelligence respecting a third defeat of gen. Clairfayt near Juliers was received just before he failed. The following is an extract of a letter from a person in Bourdeaux, of which capt. Hughes was bearer. "There is great news from the northward. The Austrians have been again defeated; 4000 killed 800 taken prisoners, the city and forts of Juliers taken with a great number of cannon. The baggage of the Austrians was taken with 40 pieces of cannon."
Lexington, January 17. Extract of a letter from an Officer in the Federal Army to his friend in this place, dated Greeneville, January 1.
"Late last night an express arrived here from Fort Wayne, with information of a considerable number of Indians having come to that post on the business of a treaty. A deputation from as many as five tribes have already come in, and they say all the others will follow in a few days: I believe we shall find those people really serious and that a peace is their grand object."
N O T I C E. * At the Old Miami Villages. CONGRESS.
SENATE Saturday November 22d, 1794. This day the senate waited on the President of the United States, and presented the following addresses, in answer to his speech to both houses of Congress at the opening of the session.
To the President of the United States. SIR,
WE receive with pleasure, your speech to the two houses of Congress; in it we perceive renewed proofs of that vigilant and paternal concern for the prosperity honor and happiness of our country, which has uniformly distinguished your past administration.
Our anxiety arising from the licentious and open resistance to the laws, in the western counties of Pennsylvania, has been increased by the proceedings of certain self-created societies, relative to the laws and administration of the government; proceedings in our apprehension, founded in political error calculated, if not intended to disorganize our government, and which by inspiring delusive
hopes of support, have been influential in misleading our fellow-citizens in the scene of insurrection.
In a situation so delicate and important, the lenient and persuasive measures which you adopted, merit and receive our affectionate approbation; these failing to procure effect, and coercion having become inevitable, we have derived the highest satisfaction from the enlightened patriotism and animating zeal with which the citizens of New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia have rallied round the standard of government, in opposition to anarchy and insurrection.
Our warm and cordial acknowledgments are due to you, Sir, for the wisdom and decision with which you arrayed the militia, to execute the public will, and to them for the disinterestedness, and alacrity, with which they obeyed your summons.
The example is precious to the theory of our government, and confers the brightest honor upon the patriots who have given it.
We shall readily concur in such farther provisions for the security of internal peace and a due obedience to the laws as the occasion manifestly requires.
The effectual organization of the militia, and a prudent attention to the fortifications of our ports and harbours, are subjects of great national importance, and, together with the other measures you have been pleased to recommend, will receive our deliberate consideration.
The success of the troops under the command of general Wayne, cannot fail to produce essential advantages. The pleasure with which we acknowledge the merits of that gallant general and army, is enhanced by the hope that their victories will lay the foundation of a just and durable peace with the Indian tribes.
At a period so momentous in the affairs of nations, the temperate, just, and firm policy, that you have pursued in respect to foreign powers, has been eminently calculated to promote the great and essential interest of our country, and has created the fairest title to the public gratitude and thanks.
JOHN ADAMS, Vice President of the United States, and President of the Senate.

An ACT to amend an act entitled 'An act establishing a permanent revenue.'
Approved December 20, 1794.
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly, that so much of the act entitled an act for establishing a permanent revenue, as subjects lands to forfeiture; in case they are not listed with a commissioner, and the taxes that may become due thereon with interest; not paid on or before the fourth day of February, one thousand seven hundred and ninety five, shall be, and the same is hereby repealed.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted , that it shall be the duty of every person, when applied to by a commissioner for a list of his taxable property, in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety five; to give in on oath a list of all his lands, whether he holds by entry, survey, patent, or deed of conveyance, specifying in such list the number of acres in each tract, and the county and water course in which it is situate, also what tax (if any) has been paid for each tract of land, and the year for which such tax was paid, and every person failing or refusing to give in a list of his, her, or their lands, shall forfeit to the state, all title claim, or interest, that he, she, or they may have in, or to, any tract or parcel of land, not given in as aforesaid, and the lands so forfeited, shall be disposed of in such manner as shall be directed by law. Provided nevertheless , that nothing herein contained be construed to extend to, the lands of infants, Feme covert s, or persons non compos mentis .
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted , that non-residents and such persons as were not applied to by a commissioner, shall enter their lands with some commissioner of the tax in the state, in the same manner as above directed, on or before the last day of November, one thousand seven hundred and ninety five, or on failure thereof, all title, claim, or interest of such non resi-
dent or other person in, or to, any such tract or parcel of land shall be forfeited to the state, and disposed of as aforesaid. And where a commissioner shall receive any entries of lands from non residents; or other persons after he shall have made four general lists of taxable property & delivered them to the respective officers, & before the said last day of November, one thousand seven hundred and ninety five, such commissioners shall forthwith make out four lists of such entries and have them certified by the clerk of his county according to law; and deliver one to the sheriff, and another to the auditor, who shall annex them to the general list before delivered by the said commissioner.
Sec. 4. That it shall be lawful for the sheriff to detain for the land tax due in the manner directed by the act entitled an act establishing a permanent revenue; and where no such property can be found, to sell so much of each tract of land charged with the tax as will be sufficient to pay the same, if the said land shall lie in his county; and the sheriff shall in such case advertise the sale, for one month, at the door of the court house of his county, and for three weeks successively in the Kentucky gazette; after such sale it shall be the duty of the sheriff, to deliver to the purchaser a certificate of the quantity of land sold, describing therein the tract that was charged with the tax, and the end or side from which the quantity sold is taken; and the surveyor of the county upon the receipt of such certificate, shall by him or deputy, proceed to survey the quantity sold as aforesaid agreeable to the certificate of the sheriff, and shall charge the purchaser with the expence of the same. The surveyor or his deputy, as the case may be, shall give reasonable notice to the former owners, if to be found in the county, or to his agent, if any he has therein, of the day on which survey is to be made, and upon the place and certificate
of the survey made as aforesaid being produced to the sheriff, it shall be his duty to convey the same to the purchaser, which conveyance shall vest in the purchaser, all the right, title, and interest of the proprietor for whose tax the land shall be sold. If the land entered on a list delivered to a sheriff shall not lie within his county, and payment shall not be made to him of the tax due thereon, he shall on or before the first day of May in every year, certify to the auditor a copy of so much of the list delivered to him as relates to lands entered with a commissioner of his county lying in another county, and it shall be the duty of the auditor to transmit a copy of the same to the sheriff of the county in which such land lie on or before the first day of June, whose duty it shall be, if payment is not made, and no property to detain can be found, to sell the same, in the manner he is herein before directed to sell lands entered and lying within his own county.
Sec. 5. Be it further enacted , that if any such purchaser is afterwards legally evicted from the lands so purchased by a prior or better claim, he shall have a right to recover by action on the case from the persons whose lands were sold for the payment of the tax, the amount of the tax so paid to the sheriff for such person, for the lands so purchased: and where he is evicted out of part of the land only, he shall have a right to recover a proportionable part of the tax paid to the sheriff. Where the sheriff shall expose any part of land for sale for the payment of the tax with which it is charged, and it will not sell for the same, it shall be the duty of the county court upon proof being made of the same, to certify it to the auditor, who shall give the sheriff credit for the tax with which such tract of land is charged, or so much thereof as is in arrears, and where any tract or part thereof is not sold upon being exposed as aforesaid, and the tax for
the same is not paid, it shall be the duty of the sheriff to expose the same annually, until the tax is paid or the land is sold; and no sheriff or his deputy shall directly or indirectly, purchase any lands that shall be exposed to sale for the payment of taxes; and any land purchased by a sheriff or his deputy, or any other for his or their use as aforesaid, shall be forfeited to the state.
The owner of every lot in a town shall pay three shillings for every one hundred pounds of value to which such lot is appraised exclusive of the improvements thereon; and so in proportion for a less value. It shall be the duty of the commissioners to assess or appraise the value of every lot in every town within his district, from the best information he can get, not taking into consideration the improvement thereon, which shall not be appraised; if any such owner of any such lot, shall think himself aggrieved he shall have a right to appeal to the next county court who, upon due proof being made shall have power to alter such assessed or approved value, as to them shall seem just. Where any list or lists delivered to a sheriff as aforesaid, shall by accident or otherwise be lost or destroyed, such sheriff shall apply to the county court of his county, for a copy of the same, and it shall be their duty to direct their clerk to make out and certify a true copy of any list or lists lost or destroyed as aforesaid, and deliver the same to the sheriff.
Sec. 7. Be it further enacted , that a list of all insolvents and of such persons as have removed out of the county with their property shall be returned by the sheriff on oath to the county court, which list so far as approved of and allowed by the court, shall be transmitted to the auditor, with an account of the tax due from any person who may have removed out of the county, together with the name of the county to which he may have removed; which account the au-

ditor shall immediately transmit to the sheriff of the county to which such person may have removed, to be charged on his book and collected and accounted for according to law.
Sec. 8. Provided always, and be it further enacted , that all arrears of taxes due for land, shall be charged and collected according to the class in which each tract is placed, and where any person has paid the tax on any tract of land that he or she, or tenants claiming under him or her, did not actually reside on at the time such tax was paid or any part thereof, which will appear from the commissioners list, such person shall have credit for the surplus of the land tax (if any) according to the class in which his land is placed, charging him only with the amount of the tax due on his or her lands as classed. And provided further that no land shall be sold for the payment of taxes before the first day of May annually, at which time the sheriff of each county, shall receive from the auditor an account of all taxes that have been paid by non-residents for lands listed with any commissioner of his county, and of the lands for which such tax was paid to enable him with certainty to know what lands he shall be obliged to sell for the payment of taxes.
Sec. 9. Provided and be it further enacted , that the several sums of money on law process, alienations, seals, or otherwise, paid to, and collected by the several clerks of the county courts, and courts of quarter sessions, shall be annually accounted for, and paid as by law is directed, at some time in the month of November; and so much of any law as requires the said clerks to account for, and pay the monies as aforesaid, in the months of June and December, shall be, and the same is hereby repealed.
And that the commissioners books for entering land, may be uniform throughout the commonwealth.
Sec. 10. Be it enacted that each commissioner shall keep for the purpose of entering lands by virtue of this act, a book in the following form, viz.
Form of Commissioner's book for entering land.

Sec. 11. And be it further enacted , that the taxes to be collected in the year 1795 be reduced one fourth part.
Sec. 12. And be it further enacted , that the different sheriffs in this state, shall have till the first day of August, annually to settle their respective accounts with the treasurer, and so much of any act as obliges them to settle on or before the first day of June, is hereby repealed, nothing in this act shall be construed so as to effect the taxes that are to be collected for the present year. All lands shall be assessed agreeably to its quality, without reference to the rich lands in Fayette; and so much of any former law as makes the rich lands in Fayette the standard of first rate land, shall be and is hereby repealed.
This act shall commence and be in force from and after the passage thereof.
