PROPOSALS For Publishing by Subscription, A NEAT EDITION OF THE KENTUCKY LAWS.
IT is proposed, that this edition shall contain only the Laws that are of a general nature, and will consist of the laws lately revised, and to be revised; there will be no more given of local or private laws, than their titles and time of passage. From the best calculations, it will extend to about six hundred pages.
CONDITIONS. I. This work will be printed in two Numbers, large Octavo, with a neat letter, on good pa- per, and bound in boards. The first Num- ber to contain all the laws of a General Na- ture already revised. II. The price to Subscribers will be Three Dollars; one half to be paid at the time of subscribing, and the balance on the delivery of the Second Number. III. The work will be put to press as soon as five hundred copies are subscribed for, and the first Number completed with all possible dispatch; the second will be delayed until the revival is finished. IV. If the laws do not exceed five hundred Pages, there will be added an appendix, con- taining an Abstract of the Duties of a Justices of the Peace, taken from the most Appro- ved Authors, with the different forms of pro- cess in that office; as well as the most use- ful forms of conveyancing, &c. There will also be added, a copious index, whereby any article may be easily found by inspection; and the Constitution of this State and the United States will be prefixed. V. Those who subscribe for twelve copies shall have one extra.
As the form in which the Acts of Assembly have been printed, renders them not only un- handy to carry about, but also more liable to in- jury and therefore less durable; and as it is probable that the general laws will hereafter remain a considerable length of time with lit- tle or no alteration; it is the object of this work to remedy those evils, by furnishing them in a portable form, and of durable materials.

To the citizens of America.
I VIEW the call of Congress in the light of a solemn appeal to the heart, and to the patriotism of every true American—and as we may justly presume that it arises from the unfortunate situation of affairs between this republic and that of France, it well becomes us calmly & coolly to deliberate upon the consequences that may arise from an establishment of pre-existing opinions or present determinations. As a free citizen of America, I hesitate not in saying, that the rights of my country, have ever prevailed over every other consideration whatever—and that as an individual, attached to a representative form of government, I have ever gloried in the successes of others who were engaged in defence of their natural rights—and lamented every cause of obstruction towards the attainment thereof upon fair and just principles.
With such sentiments, I have consequently been gratified in all the virtuous struggles of our Gallic allies, that led to the establishment of their rights—and being also disposed to require the present existing people for favors rendered to us in the day of trial, have stood forward in offices of Friendship and Regard towards them. Sentiments like these are not confined within the narrow limits of one bosom; they pervade and govern every true republican mind—What therefore should it teach us to do? I will attempt a detail.
First, let us patiently wait the issue of the meeting of Congress, and whether it ends in the appointment of an envoy extraordinary—an embargo on commerce—or, a much to be lamented, appeal to arms for our defence, not offence—let us ONE and ALL, cheerfully and heartily, and with sincerity and good will, unite in the support of those measures that may be adopted by our rulers.
In the event of the first, which every feeling heart must hope for, and every good one be gratified by, we may cheerfully anticipate a friendly discussion, mutual good will, and a satisfactory establishment of our respective rights.
If the second be deemed expedient, we have, as an United Empire, only to turn our thoughts upon each other's resources and in a little time we shall experience, that from ourselves we may be furnished with all our wants—Cast but your eyes around, and you will find that the United States afford abundant supplies; and that those which one state produces may be exchanged for the production of another—and thus by mutual good offices, we shall not only supply each other's wants, but soon be convinced, that from a disregard of commerce with any foreign nation, we should in time find themselves suing for favors from us—and moreover in the event of an attack upon our rights, by unanimity convince the world, that we are enemies in war—in peace, friends.
If from a sense of justice or a sacred regard for our national right, from duty or necessity, we are compelled to step forward in the defence of our common country, let us, while lamenting the cause, console ourselves that it was not sought for nor desired by us—but that like faithful citizens, true to our trust, we have chosen to endure the calamities of war, rather than by a shameful submission, and a disgraceful surrender of our right, tamely submit to the insults of any invader.
These sentiments must flow from every heart that is not wedded to party or private interest, they are the effusions of our best citizens, who, in times that tried men's souls, declared—"We ask but for peace, liberty and safety—and that if neither the voice of justice—the principles of national law, nor the suggestions of humanity, can restrain the hands of oppressors, we must tell them that we will never submit 'to be hewers of wood or drawers of water,' for any people or nation in the world."
It is my will, my fondest hope, as an example prevents itself, that an envoy may be appointed to go and tell of our wrongs, and to seek a redress. If then the people of America have been injured in their rights—as a nation let the appeal be made to the justice of the offending party. If cause be urged as a sanction to
their conduct, let an examination upon fair and candid discussion, close the difference—and by compact, place the rights of each upon a respectable footing. But, if jealousy, hatred, or any other unjust cause, should prevent that desirable, I may say advantageous object to each party, if the voice of reason—if policy and justice, will not secure to us our national rights—in the solemn appeal to arms we may say, our cause is just, and the hand of Heaven will ensure success, and these sentiments will become
VOX POPULI
LONDON, March 10.
Such was the indignation of the people of Belfast at the recent suppression of the Northern Star, that the merchants of that town, almost to a man, withdrew their business from the other Northern print, more favored by our political undertakers—nor will they, it is said resort to it, until the Northern Star is restored. In consequence, a falling off of no less than 43 mercantile advertisements was visible in the last publication of that paper.
The people in the country parts of the province of Ulster have manifested the same indignant spirit at this extraordinary measure, and the ministerial paper was in several places stopped, and whole bundles of them consigned either to the flames or sunk in hog holes; the people claiming to be allowed to have both sides of the question, or to have no news at all.
We regret that these extremities should have been proceeded to. Administration set the example, without law, of silencing one press; and the populace are now endeavouring to silence another press in the same manner.
MILAN, February 17.
The Grand Duke of Tuscany, it now appears, some time ago sent the Marquis Manfredini to Gen. Buonaparte. The result of their conference was the following convention:
 1. The Grand Duke engages to pay 800,000 livres to defray the expenses of the French garrison at Leghorn.  2. Gen. Buonaparte promises, in the name of the French republic, to withdraw the 1600 French troops which are at Leghorn; and the Grand Duke engages to pay, on the day they shall begin their march, 1,200,000 livres more. 
FLORENCE, February 9.
It is said the French have evacuated Leghorn, and made it neutral, on condition of not admitting more than 4 ships of the line of any of the Belligerent powers, at one time. The Grand Duke to have his neutrality respected, will augment the garrison with 4000 men. The demand of the French, upon the Grand Duke, of two millions, is now finally settled.
NEW-YORK, April 26.
The merchants of Nantucket have come to a determination to send out no more whaling ships, in consequence of the precarious situation of American affairs.
A considerable number of very valuable American vessels, with their cargoes, have lately been captured by British cruizers and carried into Kingston, and other ports in Jamaica. Most of them had been condemned; others were under trial, and few or none, it was thought, would be released.
TRENTON, May 2.
Affairs in Europe at this period must be big with the most solemn events, perhaps equal in magnitude and importance to any that have already arisen in this eventful era; the following are the leading circumstances upon which anxiety and curiosity will be suspended.
The issue of Bankruptcy of England. The election of Representatives to the French Legislature, and a new Member to the Directory.
The question of a renewal, or continued suspension of hostility on the Rhine.
The invasion of Germany by the army of Italy through Tyrol. And the fate of Trieste.
The state of the disturbances in the Batavian Republic.
The question whether Prussia will take an active part, as has been supposed to be, her design in the war.
How Denmark and Sweden will act upon this decree of the French Di-
rectory, concerning the treatment of neutral ships.
How Venice will act in the general exigency of her affairs.
Advices may be expected to be received upon all these topics, about the time when the warmest feelings of the American heart will be roused and interested, in the momentous considerations which are to occupy the wisdom of the Legislative bodies in the next month.
The London prints in the interest of administration, make great exertions to calm down the alarm occasioned by the stoppage of specie payments at the bank. The minister and his phalanx use every effort to keep up the price of stocks in the market, in which the knowing ones, who with lily to sell out before the general wreck, no doubt assist. Notwithstanding all this, the public confidence cannot be restored. One strong fact communicated by our last accounts proves this. The bank issued dollars at 5s. the value of which was publicly known to be only 4s. and yet the citizens of London ran so eagerly to procure this base coin, the issuing of it was obliged to be stopped for a time. Thus it appears, that the people of London have so little confidence in the boasted paper currency, that they are willing to exchange for silver at a loss of 20 per cent.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of veracity in Vermont to his friend in Bolton, Dec. 20.
"A well was dug by Samuel Lane, Esq. of Burlington, at the bottom was found a pine stub—Mr. L. told me in digging the well about 30 feet from the surface, they found a number of frogs that appeared to be bedded in the earth as much as a stone, and no passage to be found by which they could possibly arrive at that spot, as they were very curious to examine at the time. The frogs when first dug out of the earth appeared to have very little signs of life; but laying them in the sunshine in a little time they appeared to move, and soon hopped away. The land where the well was dug appears to be what we in this country call high intervale, made by the floods on Onion river. The frogs I believe to have been buried by some fresher of water bringing down soil and mud, and had remained in that state of stupor they were found in until they were dug; the ground had made over them about 30 feet, the timber on the surface of the earth had grown very large; I saw a pine tree standing not far from the well, which I judged to be more than 12 feet in girth. Such a body of earth being made over them and trees of such bigness having grown on the surface, I concluded they had lain there a very long period of time; every man of common sense who is acquainted that frogs continue in a stupid inactive state for four or five months in the winter, and yet by the vernal sun are revived, and become active; and if they may continue four or five months in such a state of inactivity and afterwards review, why not four or five years, or four or five hundred years; the probability to me is the latter."
Extract of a letter from London, dated March 2,
"The affair of the bank, which caused such alarm at first, has within this day or two lost its terrors. Confidence is again re-established, and there is no doubt but the wisdom of the minister will preserve it unimpaired. We were thoroughly persuaded that a war would take place between you and France, but Mr. K——, on whom we waited this morning, gives us every assurance that there is not the least danger of any such event."
NORFOLK, April 22.
Commodore Barney still remains in this harbour with his two frigates, and is likely for some time to remain:—The whole of the British squadron (on the American station) consisting of ten ships of different sizes, being at this moment in Hampton-Road, and joined within these few days by their new admiral Vandepot from England in the St. Albans of 64 guns.

Saturday, May 27, 1797.
Died, on Wednesday last, in this town, May, HUGH BRENT—his remains were interred on Thursday, attended by a very numerous and respectable concourse of the citizens.
From the BOSTON CHRONICLE.
The following is an exact statement of the inevitable effects which a war with the French republic would produce in this country. The people must weigh them well. On their decision depends the lasting prosperity of our infant establishments, and they no doubt, will prefer the calumet of Peace to the Waihoop of the Centinel.
QUOTATION,
"Under God, Mr. Moderator, I rely on the Yeomanry."
Old South—1774—at the time of the memorable Port Bill.
STATEMENT.
Imprimis.—
The immediate ruin of our Newfoundland Fishery; the decay of Marblehead, Salem, Newbury-Port, and all the Ports at the Eastward; the failure of the Owners, and the distress & beggary, of the fishermen and their dearest connections.
2d. The fall of our navigation to one quarter of its present value, and our Seamen beating the streets for want of employment, without even a hope of privateering—as the most profound Statesman in the town of Dedham has produced, has long since deprived them even of this consolation in their misery, by assuring the Public, that the trade of France was absolutely "burnt to the water's edge."
3d. The inevitable destruction of our whole Fishery; and of all who are engaged in this manly occupation.
4th. the fall of Real Estate, in town and country; poverty amongst the Tradesmen, and Bankruptcy among the Merchants in general.
5th. An encreasing price to foreign commodities, and a decline of value to our home productions.
6th. Fifty thousand soldiers to guard our seaports; idleness instead of industry; our religious duties neglected, our Morals impaired, and our Taxes without limits.
7th. An alliance offensive and defensive with royalty, against Liberty: the remaining trade of the country in the hands of British Factors; English habits and manners (perhaps even English troops again) quartered in our Capitals; our money exported in exchange for their baubles and luxuries; and a Spanish dollar, or French crown, as scarce in the country as an honest Attorney, or a Penitent Arristocrat.
8th. The ruin of private, and public credit; a paper medium; old debts discharged, with new emissions of it; the debtor enriched and the creditor starved.
9th. The Funds at 75 per cent discount, probably even at less value and a total check to all future Discounts at the Banks, State or Federal.
10th. The suspension of our future quarterly payment at the Loan office, and an appropriation of the reduced product of the Excise and impost to pay our soldiers, to build our frigates, to provide magazines, and to defend our sea coast.
11th. The ruin of our Liberties and rights.
12th. The grass growing in State-Street in Boston, in Broad-Way at New-York, and the superb Market of our Continental Metropolis, converted from its present use to be the receptacle of a half starved American soldiery or an insolent band of British Grenadiers.
PLAIN TRUTH.
The women of Lower Hungary, says the Paris Journal, of March 1st, have resolved to take up arms, in order to prove their attachment to their king, and should occasion require it, to march against his enemies, in the approaching campaign.
Those who are not acquainted with the valorous character of the Hungarian women, may be apt to place this account to the running account of Bagatelle, but when they are told that so late as at the close of the 15th

century, the women of Hungary took the field under the queen Libussa to the number of 10,000, and gave the most signal proofs of intrepidity in battle by repeated victories.
In the year 1552, in the reign of the emperor Ferdinand I. Mahomed IV. invaded Hungary, and the women of that country, but particularly those of the city of Eulan, notwithstanding the delicacy of their sex endured all the hardships of a severe siege, and obliged the Turks after several combats to raise the siege and retire.
The paper of the defenders of the country, remarking on the above, shrewdly subjoins—All Europe has acknowledged the prowess of the French Sans Culottes—they having nothing to do then, if opposed to the Sans Culottes of Hungary, but advance sword in hand, and give them the fraternal kiss!
From a Liverpool Paper.
The largest Ox in England.
This is the greatest curiosity ever exhibited in this kingdom.—He was bred and fed by H. Pierce, Esq. M. P. of Breadle. He is rising seven years old, is six yards and three quarters long, six yards round the chest, and upwards of nineteen hands high, twelve feet six inches from his hock to his buttock, five feet six inches from the top of his shoulder to his brisket, and three feet two inches between his hips—he is a beautiful colour, and his shape is amazing handsome, & weighs upwards of two tons five hundred and eight pounds, which is five hundred pounds heavier than any ever shewn to the public in the three kingdoms.
GAMING.
If you wish for Property, for Reputation, for Happiness, avoid Gaming.
A Gamester is a most contemptible Character! he appears in some measure sensible of it himself, as he wishes to play in secret.
The love of Gaming will corrupt the best principles in the world
INSOLENCE.
The insolence of base minds in success, is boundless, and would scarce admit of a comparison, did not they sometimes furnish us with one in the degrees of their dejection when evils return upon them—the insolent heart which excites ungenerous tempers, to triumph over a fallen adversary, and in some instances seem to exalt them above the point of courage, ranks them in others even below cowardice.—Not unlike some little particles of matter struck off from the surface of the dirt by sunshine—dance and sport there while it lasts—and unto dust they will return—whilst firmer and larger bodies preserve the stations which nature has assigned them, subjected to laws which no change of weather can alter.
SUPERSTITION.
"A fashionable man, as the ladies call him, is more superstitious than those Indians who worship the Devil. A fashionable man who wears silk hose in winter, and a thick padding under his chin in summer, who risks a crack in his neck by wearing the cape of his coat on his shoulders, and whose dangling knee strings are soical with every ragged nail they meet, is in every part and parcel of his dress too superstitious."
"A young woman, who thinks that frankness in speech is a vice of the heart; who laboriously shuns meeting the eyes of a man, as though like a snake he would first charm—and then devour her; who never calls breeches by their right name, and scolds two hours when a case of bawdry is mentioned, I am certain would make a poor and profligate wife, being in all things too prudish and superstitious."

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
ON THE EVILS OF WAR.
AS late, I sat in pensive mood, Musing on one thing and another, I thought it strange, that man e'er should Wage cruel war against his brother.
That savage beasts in blood delight, Indeed is no surprising matter, They reason not of wrong and right, And cruel are, form'd by nature.
But Man—in God's own image made, Lord of this vast terraqueous ball; That War by him should be a trade, Speaks loud—How great has been his fall.
With all the horrid, warlike din, Of drums and fife, and rustling spears, Mortals the work of death begin, And, 'gainst compassion shut their ears.
In strong embattled ranks they stand. Each musket holds the deadly ball, Silent, they wait the sad command, A volley's fired, and thousands fall!
Oh fatal deed! which far extends To wives and children of the slain; And many distant mourning friends, Of War's destructive Arts complain.
Strangers, who ne'er before had met, With fierce rage do now contend; In War's array their forces set, The victory gain—or life must end.
By them, is death's artillery hurl'd, Too soon they urge the award of fate— Send spirits to the eternal world, And make men's life of shorter date.
The dead and wounded strew the plain. Their groanings to the heavens ascend, And thousands can no help obtain, But wanting it, to death they bend.
The party which doth victory gain, Thank they a mighty feat have done, Like Stoics, speak of thousands slain, And lay the deed was bravely done.
This makes the honor Militare , For this, they wreathes of laurel claim, In civil law, how chang'd th' affair, For killing, there they murder name.
Strange! Are men's lives so high esteem'd, That life alone its forfeit pays, While killing thousands has been deem'd, A work deserving public praise!

ANECDOLE.
A gentleman had trained his dog to several domestic functions, and among others, to carry meat from his butcher, in a basket hung round his neck. One morning coming home with his load, he was attacked by several stout dogs. He set the basket down, and sustained the combat with extraordinary prowess for a long while. At last finding himself incapable of defending his charge, he fell to and swallowed it with amazing voracity, finding this the only expedient to disappoint the robbers.
At a court of Quarter Sessions held for the county of Hardin, the 28th day of February, 1797.
