B e it further enacted, That any commissioned officer not having received the commutation of half pay and any non commissioned officer, soldier or seaman, disabled in the actual service of the United States during the late war, by wounds or other known cause, who did not desert from the said service, shall be entitled to be placed on the pension list of the United States, during life or the continuance of such disability, and shall also be allowed such further sum for the arrears of pension from the time of such disability, not exceeding the rate of annual allowance, in consequence of his disability, as the Circuit Court of the District in which they respectively reside, may think just. PROVIDED, That in every such case, the rules and regulations following shall be complied with; that is to say:
First. Every applicant shall attend the Court in person, except where it shall be certified by two magistrates, that he is unable to do so, and shall produce to the Circuit court the following proofs, to wit:—a Certificate from the commanding officer of the ship, regiment, company or company, in which he served, setting forth his disability, and that he was thus disabled while in the service of the United States; or the affidavits of two credible witnesses to the same effect. The affidavits of three reputable freeholders of the city, town or county, in which he resides, ascertaining of their own knowledge, the mode of life, employment, labour or means of support of such applicant for the last twelve months. Secondly. The Circuit court, upon receipt of the proofs aforesaid, shall forthwith proceeded to examine into the nature of the wound, or other cause of disability of such applicant, and having ascertained the degree thereof, shall certify the same and transmit the result of their enquiry, in case, in their opinion the applicant should be put on the pension list, to the Secretary at War, together with their opinion in writing, what proportion of the monthly pay of such applicant will be equivalent to the degree of disability ascertained in manner aforesaid.
Sect. 3. And be it further enacted, That the Clerk of the district Court, in each district, shall publish this act in such manner as the Judge of the district Court shall think effectual to give general information thereof to the people of the district, and shall give like information of the times and places of holding the Circuit Courts in such district. And in districts wherein a Circuit Court is not directed by law to be holden, the Judge of the district Court shall be, and he is hereby au-
thorized to exercise all the powers given by this act to the respective Circuit courts. And it shall be the duty of the Judges of the Circuit Courts respectively, during the term of two years from the passing of this act, to remain at the places where the said Courts shall be holden five days at the least from the time of opening the sessions thereof, that persons disabled as aforesaid, may have full opportunity to make their application for the relief proposed by this act.

PHILADELPHIA, May 30.
ASSASSINATION of the King of SWEDEN
Extract of a letter from Stockholm, May 20.
"You are before this informed of the fatal catastrophe which happened here the 16th inst. It is possible, however, that you are not acquainted with the particulars, and on that supposition I have the honour to transmit you the following. The King was warned at supper time, by an anonymous writing, not to join the ball, because his life certainly would be in danger there: the King did not take notice of this, because he had some time before received several letters of the same sort, and suspected this was intended to intimidate him. When he entered the room he found himself surrounded by a number of masks, and now he began to be apprehensive least the conspiracy of which he had information might be real—instantly he was shot by a pistol in the left breast, whereupon all the doors were locked up, and every person present obliged to take off their masks; there were found in the room, besides two pistols, a large knife of uncommon kind, for which reason all the Blacksmiths were summoned to attend, one of whom confessed that he had made the knife for a Capt. Angerston of the King's Guards, but lately discharged. The latter having been instantly arrested, confessed, that he was the perpetrator."

WHEN about the 10th day of July 1792, I gave two bonds to James Fenton of Jefferson county for thirty pounds each, payable in whisky and store goods, the one on the first day of October 1793 and the other on the first day of March 1794, which bonds on the same day they were executed were assigned to the my Dittos and whereas I have since discovered that the said bonds were procured from me by fraud, and without any valuable consideration paid or secured to be paid to me, and I have good reason to believe that the said Dittos was privy to the fraud, this is therefore to forewarn all persons from taking assignments of the said bonds or either of them, as I was under age when I executed the said bonds, and am determined not to pay them. 12w Alexander Davidson.

Mr. Bradford, I HAVE seen a piece in your paper of the 28th July signed Truth, which was evidently leveled at myself, I shall take no notice of it, supposing the authors to be two Hibernian footpads instigated by some person who dares not appear in his proper name and character, however, should men of probity and candour at any time undertake, thro' your paper, to call in question my public or private character, and at the same time appear in their proper name, I shall think myself bound to answer them; any other publication together with the authors, will be passed with silent contempt by J. WALLER. August 6th, 1792.
Mr. Bradford. I have observed in your paper of the 4th instant a piece of Mr. John Craig's, and a number of certificates, to prove that I was in Richmond, fall 1790, before the bill for the division of Woodford was rejected in the Senate. Much might be said in reply to Mr. Craig and those certificates; but a very little shall suffice.
The attentive reader will remark that of all the certificates, general Scott's is the only one that is positive, to the point. It will also be noticed, that neither of them has mentioned any specific date, either of my going to Richmond, or of the rejection of the bill. Nor does either of the certificates mention any fact, or circumstance, which connects these two events. And although they would afford a sufficient presumption of the truth of Mr. Craig's assertion if they were not contradicted by other testimony; yet they are entitled to no weight in the scale of proof when opposed to the certificates of col. Brooke and John Marshall, who connect with the greatest certainty the rejection of the bill in the Senate, with the time of my arrival in Richmond. And col. Brooke who as clerk of the Senate had that day recorded the rejection of the bill—and who being at Mr. John Marshall's when I alighted from the stage and went in, told me the bill had been rejected; and is certain it happened before the arrival of the stage, in which I traveled. Upon this comparison of proof I fancy Mr. Craig's certificates are seen to kick up the beam.
It will be recollected, that in reply to Mr. Craig's promise of the 7th of January last to prove his charge against me, I pointed out to him, if truth was his object how to attain it, and was particular in furnishing him with names of persons, places and dates. But Mr. Craig has not chosen to make that investigation; because he well knew, it would have turned out to his confusion. Yet one would imagine that if Mr. Craig could have disproved that statement, it lay upon him to do so. But instead of attempting it he has recourse to the certificates of persons who knew nothing of either the time of my arrival in Richmond or of the rejection of the bill. But I have not altogether neglected
the proof (though I have not obtained the whole) which Mr. Craig has so entirely avoided. A certificate from Mr. George Brooke, and an extract from the Journal of the Senate will fully confirm the certificates of col. Brooke and Mr. John Marshall, and also the statement of time, place &c. above alluded to.
The Certificate. "Dumfries Nov. 14th 1791. "I do hereby certify that Humphrey Marshall Esq. took the public stage at my house in this town on Monday the 29th of November 1790 for the city of Richmond, where the stage of course arrived the next day in the evening. Given under my hand the day and year above. GEORGE BROOKE.
Test COLLIN CAMPBELL. The Extract. "TUESDAY Nov. 30, 1790. "ORDERED, That the bill for dividing the county of Woodford be now read the third time. The said bill was read the third time, and on the question being put, that the same do pass. It passed in the negative. "RESOLVED, That the said bill be rejected. "Extract from the Journal. "H. BROOKE. C. S."
From these facts, which have not been contradicted (and I will venture to say the more they are enquired into fairly, the more they will be confirmed) it appears, that I left Dumfries, on Monday the 29th, and arrived in Richmond on the evening of the 30th of November 1790, in the public stage, whence I alighted at John Marshall's door, went into his house and met with col. Brooke, who told me that the bill for the division of Woodford was rejected in the Senate. Now Mr. Craig does not admit that the bill was rejected the same day that I got to Richmond; and has taken his certificates to prove that I was in Richmond one day at least before the rejection of the bill. But Mr. Craig must remember that I was at Dumfries the day before, and arrived at Richmond the same day the bill was rejected—therefore the proof by his certificates fail altogether—I need not make the conclusion, which every reader will make for me.
I shall make this remark in the allusions to conversations with Col. Temple: that to me they are quite dark. That I have no acquaintance with that gentleman—that if he was at Mr. Marshall's the evening of my arrival, he might over hear the conversation with Col. Brooke, or if he chose to ask me any questions relative to the division of the county, I doubt not I answered him as I thought and was then ( I hope it will be allowed I was ) at liberty to do, the bill being previously rejected, that I considered the division unnecessary or something to that effect.
Having shown that Mr. Craig's first position is false, it is unnecessary to observe the rest are equally so, because they are built upon the first, and when the foundation fails the superstructure must of course tumble. I am, Sir, your very Humble Servant. H. MARSHALL. August 10th. 1792.
Extract from an Act passed at the first session of the General Assembly, held for the State of Kentucky, at Lexington, June 4th 1792, entitled "An Act establishing a permanent Revenue."
SECT. 12. It shall be the duty of all owners and proprietors of lands within this State whether they claim the same by patent or by entry only, to give in to the Commissioners of the district in which such land is situate, an account of the quantity of land which he holds in such district, and the Commissioner shall enter the same in his list as before directed. And all lands of which a list shall not be given in by the owner or proprietor to a Commissioner on or before the fourth day of February which shall be in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety-five, and on which the taxes that may become due with interest thereon, shall not be paid by such owner or proprietor on or before the said fourth day of February shall be considered as, and actually be, forfeited to the State; and shall be disposed of in such manner as shall be directed by law. But when the owner or proprietor of any such land shall be an infant, feme covert or non compos mentis , on the said fourth day of February, he or she shall have the further time of two years after such disability shall be removed, to enter such list with the Commissioners and to pay the tax due therein in the manner above directed.
SECT. 13. No distress shall be made for the land tax prior to the said fourth day of February except on the slaves, goods or chattels which may be found on or proprietor thereof, or of some person claiming under him. But the whole amount of the tax which may become due on any one tract of land whether the same be held by patent or by entry only, prior to an actual and bona fide sale of the said land, may be levied by distress on the slaves, goods and chattels which may be found on any part of the said land in the possession of the owner or proprietor thereof, or of any person claiming under him. Provided nevertheless , that no purchaser shall be subject to the payment of any taxes that may be due, except for that part which he may have purchased. And the State shall have a perpetual lien on every tract of land within this State, and every part thereof, for all taxes which may be due thereon as aforesaid, prior to an actual transfer of the said land. And all tenants who shall be obliged under this Act, to pay the taxes due on any land leased by them, prior to their interest in the same, or who shall be obliged to pay taxes on a greater part of such land than they hold under such lease, shall have a right to demand and receive the amount of such taxes so paid by them from the original owner and proprietor of such land, and shall have a lien on the land for which the taxes were so paid until they be repaid the amount thereof.
PROV. 1. That nothing herein contained, shall affect any special contract entered into between such original owner and proprietor or tenant concerning the payment of the taxes which shall be due on such land. Every person who shall pay the taxes due on any land, who shall afterwards be evicted from the same, shall have a lien on the land for the taxes so paid by him, and interest thereon, and shall have a right to retain possession of the said land until the person recovering it from him shall pay or render him, the amount thereof; unless the person so recovering the land, shall also have paid the taxes due thereon, in which case
the person so evicted and having paid the taxes, shall receive the amount thereof with the interest thereon, from the public Treasury. And in all cases when it shall appear that that two or more persons have paid the taxes due on the same tract of land, the taxes so paid together with the interest thereon, shall be refunded to all such persons except him in whom the legal title shall be established.

Fayette County, May Court 1792. John Wilkins, Charles Wilkins and Alexander Scott. } Complainants In CHANCERY.
Against William Duer, John Jones, Charnack Self, John Hawkins and George Wynn. } Defendants.
On motion IT is ordered and decreed, that the property let forth in the Bill, belonging to William Duer in possession of the other defendants be delivered to the complainants, upon their giving bond with security payable to the said William Duer, in the penalty of three thousand pounds conditioned, for rendering a just account of the said property, to abide the decree of this court and to indemnify the said defendants who have the said property in possession, and that William Morton be admitted as security in said bond.
A copy LEVI TODD, C. C. I do certify that bona is executed and lodged in my office pursuant to the decree of the county court of Fayette a copy of which is hereunto annexed.
LEVI TODD, C. C. A similar decree was obtained in the county court of Bourbon, against the property of William Duer in the possession of George M. Bedinger.
The above will serve to inform the public that the claim I have set up (as Mr. Benham is pleased to express it) against the horses belonging to William Duer Esq. is just, at least it appeared so to the Court, and convince Mr. Robert Sanders of the error he has been led into, by his officious zeal for the interest of his honest friend Benham.
I request the above mentioned defendants will be particularly cautious in not delivering any horses in their possession to Robert Sanders or Robert Benham or any person for them, but keep them subject to my order only.

James Adkin April 30th 1792.

On liberty. C URST be the wretch, that's bought and sold, And barter liberty for gold! For when elections are not free, Invain we boast our liberty. And he who sells his single right, Would sell his country, if he might. When liberty is put to sale, For wine, for money or for ale, The sellers must be abject slaves, The buyers vile designing knaves. This maxim, in the statesman's school, Is always taught "divide and rule." All parties are to him a joke; While zealots foam, he fits the yoke, When men their reason once resume He in his turn begins to fume. Hence, learn, Columbians to unite: Leave off the old exploded bite. Henceforth let feuds and discord cease And turn all party rage to peace.
A N E C D O T E A COUNTRY School-master asked a Sailor what was the third and half third of ten pence. The fellow, who was illiterate, and consequently unacquainted with Ar- ithmetic, very ingeniously evaded the answer intimating that his mess- mates were by, and he did not care to give that for nothing, which he had paid for at so dear a rate, by ap- plication and expense; adding, that he could set the School-master a much harder question. This not a little piqued the other, who felt his learned consequence hurt to be told so by an unlettered tar. "What is it?" cried the former. "Why," replied the Sailor, "if a pound of cheese cost four pence, what will a cart load of turnips amount to?"

S ome time last winter I pur- chased of a certain Lemuel Blanchard sixty gallons of cyder, for which I agreed to give nine- teen dollars, as soon as I could make it out of the cyder, the said Blanchard fraudulently obtained my note for a far larger sum than I agreed for, by reading it to my understanding only for the sum agreed for; my note has since fallen into the hands of a certain James Welch who a- greed to give it up to me if I would pay the sum agreed for, which I have done, and he deli- vered up the note, and after- wards took it from me by force; I therefore forewarn all persons from having any thing to do with said note as I am determin- ed not to pay any more.
