MR. BRADFORD;
THE Herald in his first publication, after displaying his talents for satirical wit and humour, and joining the laugh, as he calls it, very seriously concludes with this piece of irony, "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 disinterestedness of our officers."
This conclusion seems evidently calculated to make us believe that the derangement of our affairs was occasioned by some interested views of the officers enumerated in his proclamation: whereas it is evident that none of those gentlemen are to blame; for in the first place, we have no fear of government for them to live at, and in the next place, few of them have salaries that would enable them to live in a town. Why would he thus attempt to fix an odium on the innocent?
Publications of this kind always enrage the populace, and very often make them vent their spite on the innocent. I am told that the Federal excise officers in many parts have been very ill treated, and some severely beaten; and I am sensible that those inflammatory publications against the officers of government must have been in a great measure the cause of such outrages. The populace have not always judgment to direct their rage and fury; when raised, they often make a sacrifice of the first officers who thwart their inclination, right or wrong. Writers ought to be very cautious not to irritate the populace without taking special care to inform their minds, and direct their fury against those who are the proper objects of their displeasure. Altho' the Herald omitted to advertise the excise man, yet nevertheless, the enraged people have found out that innocent officer; and as his office most affects their present feelings, they have vented their spite on him. I guess the Herald will not get the thanks of the excise man for the ironical conclusion of his first piece.
The Herald, in his second piece, mixes a little ill nature with his humour, and abuses me for finding fault with that part of his first performance which only serves to irritate, but not to inform the bulk of mankind. He accuses me with blindness, folly, grammatical inaccuracy &c. He calls me Hercules, bungler, rival of Junius &c. and speaks of my display of humor, blaze of wit and the like, with imitable rally. These things, tho' above my immitation; yet, as they do not disturb the public peace, they are below my resentment.
If the Herald supposes me to be a creeping sycophant or one who offers
insense at the shrine of majesty, he is mistaken; These are characters which I despise equally with those who, under pretence of free discussion, will find fault where there is none, and abuse their rulers or public servants, as the Herald chooses to call them. (tho' I can see no difference in the terms) without a cause; and endeavor to inflame, rather than instruct the minds of the ignorant.
I cannot "join the laugh" in the "humor of the Herald" at "the very ridiculous situation of the departments of our government." I think it a misfortune seriously to be lamented, but can see no possible remedy for the present; nor has the Herald pointed out any.
Altho' I think it a crime to "disturb the repose of our superiors" without a just cause, I think it a worse crime to disturb the quiet of the common people by enumerating grievances which are without a remedy, and pointing at the innocent as if they were the authors of the evils complained of. If this was not the Herald's intention, I mistook his meaning, and he must forgive me.
I am not, as he supposes, insensible that the Legislature have erred in some things; their parsimony towards the judiciary is obvious. No doubt many have endeavored to secure popularity by acting as to disgrace both themselves and their constituents. I hope the next Assembly will do better. If the Herald will paint those popular gentry and their conduct, so as that the common people may see and detest them, he will deserve applause.
At the close of his last piece, where he gives advice to the Electors and Legislators, he has performed the task like a serious, sensible, honest man; and I give him credit for it. If he goes on, and mends as he goes; he will act as a friend, instead of disturbing the peace of
A FARMER.
TO THE PUBLIC.
IN looking over and perusing the return of the committee of last session of Assembly, held for the state of Kentucky, who were appointed to prepare and report the probable annual amount of therevenue and expenditures of this state, I find that the present mode of government and some of the laws made under it, are likely to become very burthensome & oppressive to the citizens and inhabitants who reside in our state. With submission to the public, I shall take the liberty to make some observations and remarks, and state such part of expenditures as I conceive to be, not only burthensome and oppressive, but very unjust and insufferable; and after the candid reader has also perused and reflected on my statement and observations of matters he then will judge for himself whether I have been busying myself on

matters of importance for trivial and frivolous causes, or not," from the small acquaintance I have acquired of the honorable gentlemen who preside as Judges of the court of Appeals, I flatter myself, they will not scruple to have joined to their court and for them to take cognizance thereof, the business set a part by law for the court of Oyer and Terminer, without augmenting their present salary, that being the case the statement of unjust expenditures per annum, will stand thus,    3 Judges of the court of Oyer at 30 each  £ 90 0 0    The Clerk and other officers  60 0 0    Electors (very unnecessary)  65 11 8 2    3 Judges of Quarter Sessions in each county to sit 6 days each court; I will share it at 4 days at 2 dol. each judge per day  493 4 0    3 Commissioners to take lists of property in each county about 30 days each, a dol. per day.  378 4 0    22 Assembly men last session, 48 days, at a dol. each  316 16 0     £ 1316 15 8 2  
And now to make it appear to the public, that the expenditures are unnecessary and unjust, our Justices under the former government answered to our satisfaction, the purposes of the present Justices of Quarter Sessions and Commissioners, which services they performed, with cheerfulness and readiness, and were fully satisfied by having the office of Sheriff given them in rotation; but under the present government, our Sheriffs are to be elected by the people at large in each county, which mode draw on us annually the unjust burthen complained of, and the fees to Justices and Constables on Warrants are now very oppressive to poor people, which I am certain must appear in every neighbourhood throughout the state. The Representatives of our state are double the number we formerly had, which I conceive to be another unnecessary tax. One Senator and two Representatives from each county, as usual, I think is a sufficient representation, and them to be chosen by the people at large in each county, which would be putting us on a much more equitable and just footing, without the expence of paying Electors &c. Now as the Constitution is the basis and ground work whereon to build and compose our laws from, so it is certain that we cannot be redressed and relieved from the above enumerated impositions, unless we can have our Constitution amended, and our government reformed; to avail ourselves in those special instances, I beg leave as a friend to the community at large, to recommend that they be very circumspect and judicious in their choice of Representatives at the ensuing election, and to instruct their members, when elected, to use their utmost endeavors to bring about a reformation of government. "The Constitution in the twelfth article set forth that all power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their peace, safety and happiness, for the advancement of those ends, they have at all times an unalienable and indefeasible right to alter, reform or abolish their government, in such manner as they may think proper. Now by the concurrence and agreement of both houses of Assembly, an amendment may be brought about, and until that can be done, we must suffer the impositions." I have not the least doubt but the honorable members of the
Senate will, not only consent but exert themselves on such salutary principles and beneficial purposes, as to relieve from such an exorbitant burthen.
I am with sincere Regard, the public's Most obedient servant. REUBEN SEARCY. Fayette, March 4, 1793.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
LONDON, November 3. A person asking what the historian will hereafter say concerning the Duke of Brunswick's campaign against the French, was answered, "Great Brunswick's Duke, with four score thousand men, "Marched into France—and then marched out again." Nov 20. A gentleman in this city has favoured us with the following article of intelligence, which he received by the last post, from very high authority, the truth of which, may be relied on. "Dumourier, in the late action near Mons, had 50,000 men. The Austrians had only 18,000. The French lost more than 10,000 in the action, and the Austrians retreated in great order and regularity. The last advices from the Rhine state, that Cohn's army was on the point of being intercepted and cut off, from having advanced with so much rapidity into the German territories."
Brussels not having been put into a state of defence, the soldiers of France found but a small quantity of stores and ammunition; but they shared what was far more grateful to their feelings, the blessings and congratulation of an emancipated multitude.
UNITED STATES.
NEW-YORK, January 12 Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London, to his friend in this city, dated Nov. 6.
"Yesterday being the 5th November, an effigy to represent the Duke of Brunswick, dressed exceedingly rich, was carried in the procession of innumerable spectators, through the Borough, to be executed on Kensington Common. Adjoining the star on his breast, was printed in large capital letters, no manifesto ; and on a board which was carried before him, was painted UNIVERSAL LIBERTY, and NO DESPOTS. When they arrived at the gallows, the following proclamation was made before his execution took place.
"OYES, OYES, OYES, Fellow Citizens, The Duke of Brunswick having attempted to enslave France in open violation of the eternal Rights of Man, and laws of Humanity and Justice; it has been determined to make a public example of him, as well to prevent noble blunders in future, as to convince mankind at large of the supreme dignity of their nature, and the united force of courage and virtue.—The Duke entered France under the mistaken idea, that the French people were dastardly enough to bend to the nod of princes; but as his confidence and resources lay in his pride rather than in his capacity, he withdrew, covered with SHAME, CONFUSION and DISHONOR, after having committed crimes and blunders that have deservedly brought upon him the RIDDLE and CONTEMPT of all Europe. He has had a fair and impartial trial, he is now to ATONE for his rash temerity. His case will prove that men possess masculine minds, and that at the
close of the 18th century, when enlightened by science and reflection, they will not be supported with, nor suffer tyrants of any kind to escape with impunity!
"Given at Kensington Common this 5th day of November, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-two, in the name of LIBERTY, EQUALITY and the RIGHTS of MAN."
"He was then executed in due form, and after hanging the usual time, was set fire to and consumed to a cinder, together with his gills, amidst the shouts and acclamations of an immense concourse of spectators who immediately after dispersed, & retired to their respective homes, in the utmost tranquility and good order."
LEXINGTON, January 16. On Monday last, 4 men were fired on 2 men on Branton's creek, wounded both the runners and took one of the men prisoners.—Since the above happened, there has been much fighting in that quarter, and also in Jefferson.
The week before last, a company was defeated, on their way through the wilderness, near the Hager's patch, two of which were killed, two badly wounded and a child killed.
An Italian has been killed by one of the soldiers near one of the out posts, lately.

H ARK! hark! the joyful news is come, Sound, found the trumpet beat the drum, While merry bells resound; Where Freedom's sacred ensigns wave, Supported by the Free and Brave, There victory is found.
By Hell inspired with brutal rage, Austria and Prussia both engage To crush fair Freedom's flame; But the intrepid sons of France, Have led them such a glorious dance, They've turn'd their backs for shame.
May Heaven continue still to bless, The arms of Freedom with success, Till tyrants are no more; And still, as Gallia's sons shall fly, From victory to victory, We'll shouting cry ENCORE!
