Twenty Dollars reward.
DISAPPEARED from my flock of horses, three miles north of Woodford court house, about the first of April last, three valuable young MARES, neither docked nor branded; two of which are two years old, the one a sorrel the other a bay; the bay has been taken up by Thomas Stevenson, on North Elkhorn, and shortly after the left me, (previously to her being taken up) was bob'd and branded something like this T's tho' not plain; it is probable the others may be used in the same manner—the sorrel is about fourteen hands and a half high, a star in her forehead, no flesh marks that I recollect, she is well formed—the other is one year old, but small, a fine bay, her legs inclines to the color of her body, no particular marks. (Should they be sold to any person I hope they will come forward and deliver the property, as I mean them not to be loser.) Ten Dollars will be given for any one of them.

N o . IV.
THE TREATY.
TO THE WELL DISPOSED PEOPLE OF KENTUCKY.
(From our last.)
Fellow-Citizens.
THINKING that I have made the sixth article sufficiently perspicuous to show the errors in the objections which have been made to it, and in a great degree if not entirely to guard it against further misrepresentation; I shall now pass on to the seventh article, which states—"Whereas complaints have been made by divers merchants & others citizens of the United States, that during the course of the war in which his majesty is now engaged, they have sustained considerable losses, and damage, by reason of irregular or illegal captures, or condemnations of their vessels, and other property, under colour of authority or commissions from his majesty, and that from various circumstances belonging to the said cases, adequate compensation for the losses, and damages, so sustained, cannot now be actually obtained, had, and received, by the said merchants and others in the ordinary course of justice, full and complete compensation for the same will be made by the British government to the said complainants. But it is distinctly understood, that this provision is not to extend to such losses or damages as have been occasioned by the manifest delay, or negligence, or willful omission of the claimants." And for the purpose of carrying this article into effect, commissioners are to be appointed, with the same powers, as those mentioned in the sixth article, they are to decide according to the justice of the claim, and the law of nations, and to award the sum to be paid by the British government: and they are also to take into their consideration, and determine the cases "of vessels and merchandise taken within the limits, and jurisdiction of the States and brought into the ports of the same; or taken by vessels originally armed in the ports of the said States; and" it is agreed that in all such cases where restitution shall not have been made agreeably to the tenor of Mr. Jefferson's letter to Mr. Hammond, annexed to the treaty, the complaints of the parties are to be adjudged by the said commissioners, who are to award the sums to be paid by the United States.
The most plausible objection which I have heard to this article is founded on the mode of recovering damages for the injuries done the citizens of the United States, it being thought both uncertain and dilatory. It is observable in answer to this objection, that the mode of redress is equally applicable, to both parties.—It is the mode adopted, for compensating British creditors, for the losses they have sustained by the operation of lawful impediments since the peace. It is the mode by which British merchants are to be compensated for the capture of their vessels. It is then as fair for the one as the other. It will be as speedy for one as the other. And what applies equally to both sides is surely as fair for the one as for the other.
It is desirable that some more speedy mode of recovery had been devised, if any other be attainable. But no reasonable man can suppose that the British government should have satisfied the demand of every claimant without examination into the justice of his demand. As well might they require of us to satisfy their claims for debts, and captures without evidence of their justice or even existence. It is proper that the claims on each side should be examined into, and their justice substantiated by evidence, before they are allowed; the damages also arising in each case should be ascertained by some common rule, applicable to the actual injury. This could only be done by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by an extraordinary tribunal, constituted for the purpose. It was conceived on both sides that the cases provided for by the treaty, was out of the reach of the ordinary courts, and consequently required, an extraordinary one, to afford the adequate remedy. For it is observable that the ordinary courts are open on both sides, and where they are competent to afford relief, it is to be sought in them. And this is what both sides will assert, and contend for in vindication of their respective administration of justice. A court of Commissioners, or in other words arbitrators chosen by the parties was unavoidable; and the manner in which they are to be chosen, and are authorised to act promises as impartial justice, as moderate men will expect or require.
It is somewhat remarkable that those who make objections to this treaty, do not offer any thing in the place of the defects which they pretend to point out, that is even plausible, or practicable. We should think our money but ill bestowed on the physician, who could tell us we were sick, without being able to prescribe the cure; and surely the politician, is as little worthy of attention, who suggests the evil in public transactions, without at the same time pointing out the remedy. It is easy to object; it is difficult to amend: and while the rudest and most ignorant can destroy—it requires the hand of an artist to build.
H. MARSHALL.
October, 1795.
N o . II.
To HUMPHREY MARSHALL, one of the Senators from the State of Kentucky, in the Congress of the United States.
[Continued from our last.]
YOUR next attempt is to prove, that so much of this article as respects British settlers and traders is agreeable to the laws of nations, and to justice and to good policy; you also declare that it was humane to include them in the treaty, and that the stipulations which it contains in their favor, were proper. How does it happen that you are not only the advocate of the old tories, but also the warm friend of these settlers and traders, who you acknowledge have been charged with fomenting Indian animosities, and encouraging Indian depredations; and of whom it is asserted as a fact, that some people from the neighborhood of Detroit were with the Indians in battle last year." It is not possible for the real friends to the Western country, to have greater or more just causes of hatred to any people, than they have had to these men for many years, to them are justly to be imputed, most of the massacres which have been committed, on our fellow ci-

citizens, our friends, and our relations: if then pretended reasons of public policy, or the want of sympathy for our sufferings in the negotiator, or in a majority of the senate, caused a treaty to be made and approved, which contained the most improper terms in their favour: we should have expected, that our senator would not have consented to those terms; but admitting that any reasons really arising from public policy, ought to have induced him to consent to such terms, certainly there could be no necessity for his sleeping out, as the warm advocate of those people, and speaking of them and their interests, with as much zeal as he ought to have considered those of his own countrymen. I will now enquire whether your zeal for their interests, great as it evidently is, has been able to adduce arguments sufficient to prove, that the terms given to them are agreeable to the laws of nations, justice and good policy. But before I go into the argument, I will endeavor to meet you in some proposition, which may properly confine that argument to a point. You define the matter in dispute to be this: "That British subjects within the American territory, may continue to be British subjects, and hold their lands, houses and effects." This is not a just state of the dispute; because it involves in it, the propriety of suffering them to retain their personal property, which no person ever denied; and because it excludes, two of the most important features of that article, which are first, that these privileges are granted to British subjects residing in the American territory; and secondly, that although they do reside and hold land within the American territory, "they shall not be compelled to become citizens of the United States, or to take any oath of allegiance to the government thereof." The true subject of dispute may be fairly stated thus: "Is it right that British subjects residing within the American territory, should be allowed to hold and occupy a part of that territory, under claims derived from the king of Great Britain, without becoming citizens of the United States, and without being liable to be called upon to take any oath of allegiance thereto. The laws of nations have nothing to do with the decision of this question, because it is not a claim founded on the laws of nations, but on the treaty only; and the terms granted by this article to the British settlers, are clearly of such a nature as to have left it discretionary in the American government, to have granted them or not; for in your own quotation Vattel says, "every state has the liberty of granting or refusing foreigners, the power of possessing lands or other immovable goods within their territory." as the laws of nations then, did not make it the duty of the American government to give these terms to British settlers, let us enquire, whether they were compelled to do it either by principles of justice or public policy. These settlers became so, either prior or subsequent to, the treaty of '83. Those who were so prior to the treaty of '83, could have no right to expect any stipulations to be made in this treaty in their favour, which was not contained in that treaty; for unless their claims were recognized by that treaty, they have already held the land they occupy for 12 years without any right. Those who have become settlers since the treaty of '83, could have no claim whatever on the American government: because they made their settlement under the British government, in defiance of the treaty, with full notice of the American right, as established by that treaty. In point of justice then they had no claim to the stipulations in their favour contained in this article. If any of them, as you suppose was the case, had legal claims to their land prior to
the treaty of '83, that treaty secured those claims from confiscation. And the IX article of this treaty, not only allowed them to hold such lands, but also empowered them to grant, sell or devise the same to whom they pleased; this then was certainly going as far as justice required, because if they elected to continue British subjects, all that they could ask of the American government, was permission to dispose of their property, and go with the proceeds, into the territory of that government. If then the privileges given these settlers by the treaty, were not necessary on principles of justice, were they proper on principles of public policy. If you will make a small alteration in your own quotation from Vattel, it would prove unquestionably, that it was contrary to public policy to grant them these privileges; with such an alteration it would read thus: "If the privilege of remaining in the country was granted to these settlers, it should have been upon the express terms, that they should in all respects be subject to the laws of America, in the same manner that the other inhabitants were subject to them. The government of the whole should extend over all the inhabitants of a country; and it would be absurd to except a part of those inhabitants from it, on account of their being foreigners." I defy you to produce a single line from any writer existing before Jay's treaty, who had given it as his opinion, that it would be good policy, to permit any persons whatever, to hold and reside on lands in a country, without becoming citizens of that country, and being liable to be called on to take an oath of allegiance or fidelity to that country. You say, "That this principle is embraced in part at least, by the land law of Kentucky, which permits foreigners, British subjects and others, to purchase and hold land for a limited time in the territory of Kentucky." Let this law speak for itself; it declares, that "all persons as well foreigners as others, shall have a right to assign or transfer warrants or certificates of survey for lands, and any foreigner may locate and have the same surveyed, and after returning a certificate of survey into the Land-office, shall be allowed the term of eighteen months to become a citizen or to transfer his right in such certificate of survey to some citizen of this or any other of the United States of America." Compare this law with the clause under consideration, and blush if you can, at your assertion, that the principle contained in the treaty is embraced in part by the law—the law expressly guards against that which is expressly allowed by the treaty—that no man except the citizens of America, should for any longer term than eighteen months, be allowed to hold land in Kentucky. I am a stranger to the laws of Pennsylvania, but will venture to assert, that it cannot be true that they permit any man to hold and reside on land in that state, without being liable to be called on, to give assurance of his fidelity to the state; and to be punished for any breach of his allegiance to the state. It is observable that in all your reasoning on this subject you have carefully kept out of sight, that part of the clause which permits British subjects to reside in the American Territory without becoming citizens, or taking the oath of allegiance to the American government.

Republicans under Gen. Hoche, and entirely exterminated—And, that in consequence of the late victories of the French, Spain had entered into a treaty with France, much to the advantage of that Republic—That the President of the United States has disqualified Mr. Moore, British Consul, resident in Newport, from acting any longer in that Capacity, in consequence of his coalescence in the infamous conduct of the blustering capt. Home—That the Africa has returned off Newport, after a fruitless chase of the Medusa.

FROM the subscriber, living near Frankfort, on Saturday the seventeenth instant, a mulatto man named JACK, about five feet ten inches high, about twenty-two years of age, very straight made; had on when he went away a dark coloured surlout coat, lightish coloured close bodied coat of country made cloth, leather breeches, an old pair of cotton stockings and deer skin moccasins. As the above fellow was formerly the property of Col. John Campbell, it is likely he is some where in the neighbourhood of Lexington. I will give a reward of ten dollars to any person who will deliver the said negro to me, or secure him in any jail, so that I get him again.
