RUNAWAY from the subscriber, the tenth of December last, a likely Negro Fellow, named Ishmael, about twenty-six years of age, five feet nine or ten inches high, stout, well made, his upper fore teeth a little wide, it is supposed that he is detained by the implication of a certain Mrs. Mary Netherland, or some of her associates—the said Mary Netherland, was formerly the wife of John Netherland of Virginia. Also, a Negro Fellow, named Bob, (who was violently taken from me by a certain Martin Hawkins,) about forty years of age, with a blemish in one of his eyes, about five feet eight or nine inches high, limps in his walking, occasioned by a hurt in his hips. Also, (runaway,) the fourteenth inst. a Negro Fellow, named Phill, about forty years of age, five feet nine or ten inches high, well set, and has a large scar on one of his legs, occasioned by an old sore, which is not yet cured. The above said negroes, I expect, will pass as the property of the said Mrs. Mary Netherland, and notwithstanding the many assertions against John Netherland, it is hoped, no person of character, will be so uncharitable as to condemn him, until a full investigation of the circumstance between him and the said Mary can be heard; all persons will be particularly cautious from purchasing or hiring said negroes from said Mary, or other persons, and also, the said Mary is legally divested of all power of making use of any property belonging to the said John Netherland, and further, any property in my possession, belonging to the said John Netherland I am ready to deliver to said Mrs. Netherland, on her legal application, agreeable to their mutual separation. The above reward, will be given, for the three negroes, delivered to me on Hickman creek, Fayette county, or lodged in any jail in the state, or twenty-five dollars each, and all reasonable charges, paid by

BOMBAY, October 8.
The city of Poona is said to be surrounded with an encampment of 100,000 men; of these 25,000 are contingent, supplied by the Nizam to aid the ministerial party; a greater force under Mahomed Riza Khan, is said to be contributed by Tippoo to support the pretensions of Nana, and which are said to have entered the Bhow's country. Our papers from the Mahratta camp came to hand too late last night to avail ourselves of them upon this occasion.
CASSEL, January 11.
The hopes of peace which we have hitherto constantly cherished, will certainly be accomplished in the course of this new year. The modification of the conditions between the belligerent powers, appears only to depend at present upon the fate of Mantua. A more distant but not less important influence upon peace is, the change of government in Russia. "Paul I, has not only refused to accede to the treaty concluded by his mother with Austria and England, but has entirely rejected it." (Saats Ristretto, January 6.)
LONDON, December 22.
Every thing that can give us a clue to the politics of the new Emperor of Russia is important. A letter from Peterburgh says, that a courier was dispatched to the court of Berlin, several hours before any other messenger set off, and that the first act of the Emperor, was to put seals on the papers of Count Marloff, by whose influence over the Empress it is well known that the connection with the court of Vienna was chiefly maintained.
If this be true, it is not improbable but that the Emperor of Germany must consult his safety by an immediate peace with France, since he may have, after a desolating war, and exhausted finances, to encounter a confederacy infinitely more powerful against himself than that in which he was engaged against France; because the powers are at the door of his dominions.
December 27.
Last night Mr. Brooks, one of his majesty's messengers, arrived in town with despatches from Lord Malmesbury at Paris. Mr. Brooks left the city on Wednesday. We are sorry to state that the negotiation has failed, and Lord Malmesbury has been ordered to quit the territories of the Republic, in 48 hours. He is expected in town in a day or two.
Another Hamburg mail was delivered this morning. By the accounts contained in it from Italy, it does not appear that there has been any further actions between the Imperialists and the French, in that quarter, but that the Archduke Joseph, was waiting for considerable reinforcements on their way from Hungary.
Accounts from Utrecht, of the 28th, state, that the French have evacuated the important pass of the bridge of Nieuweid, and have retired to the opposite side of the Rhine, in consequence of an agreement among the generals.
The new emperor of Russia has ordered the corps of his deceased father to be taken from its sepulchre in the church of Novieski, in Peterburgh, to be interred near the remains of his mother, in the family vault of his ancestors. This ceremony was performed under the fire of 21 pieces of cannon. The bodies are to lie in state three weeks in the castle. And in order to show the highest honors to his father, the new emperor has sent ten chevalliers de garde to Moscow, which is 700 miles from Peterburgh, to bring the imperial crown from thence, to place it over his father's coffin while it lies in state. The day after the death of his mother, he ordered three pictures of his father to be hung up in the palace.
To show that he bears no enmity to the family of prince Subow, his mother's favorite, the emperor has conferred on the brother of that prince, the first order of St. Alexander. Another order has been conferred on three bishops, the first dignity of the kind ever bestowed on the Greek clergy. Prince Constantine has been named colonel of the guards, the first post of honor, and the grand duke, his eldest son, is appointed governor of Peterburgh. The naval uniform has been changed from white and blue, to blue and white; that of the guards has also been changed.
It is allowed that the present emperor of Russia is of a mild and amiable disposition—he will now have an opportunity of displaying it by releasing the brave Kosciuszko from his prison.
The French papers which arrived yesterday do not come down to a later date than those we received on Saturday last. They contain, however, some particulars worthy of notice.—Such parts of their contents as relate to the negotiations, are subjoined.
FROM THE REDACTEUR.
Paris, December 21.
After having gone round the whole circle of the evasive and dilatory means of his diplomatic mission, Lord Malmesbury has been forced, as it appears to explain categorically. His proposals were quite contrary either to constitution or the laws, or to treaties: he proposed to France, perjury and shame. As he did nothing at Paris but receive and send off packets, he was directed to depart. Nevertheless the ulterior propositions of England, will be heard by a correspondence through the medium of couriers.
FROM THE REPUBLICAN.
Paris, December 19.
We are assured that the Directory have replied to the last note of Lord Malmesbury in so pressing a manner, that he has been forced to give in his ultimatum . He demanded the restitution of all the French conquests, and that England should keep, the Cape and Ceylon.
Such a proposal was received as it deserved, and Lord Malmesbury was directed to quit the territories of France.
It is to the empire that all the friends of peace, ought to direct their hopes. The conduct of Malmesbury ought to convince them more than ever, that England was actuated in her negotiation only by a design to amuse France, and retard the projected expedition, which, in all likelihood will disquiet the English minister.
Perhaps several other projects of England have also failed; within these few days there has been some talk of an assembly which was to be formed near the British ambassador's house, and thence was to be increased by all the malcontents whom it might meet with in its career; it was then to proceed to the legislative body, & to demand a peace in the name of the French people. But the government having been informed of this project, it was rendered abortive, like so many others now no longer credited.
1st Nivose, December 21.
We did not know till yesterday all the skillfulness of Malmesbury in the art of compensation: we are to-day better informed of the extent that he has given to them.
We have been assured that he had annexed to his late note a statement, not signed, of the proposals of England, thus couched:
 1. The preservation on the part of England, of the Isle of Ceylon, and the Cape of Good Hope.  2. The renunciation on the part of France, of her alliance with Holland.  3. The cession to England of the Spanish part of St. Domingo.  4. The removal of the sequestration from the effects of the emigrants. 
We see by this that in these demands there is no question of Belgium, nor of the interests of the allies of England: although Malmesbury had announced on his arrival in France, that he proposed to treat in their names upon the compensations, as an indispensable preliminary.
The Directory, it is said, desired Lord Malmesbury to declare whether he acknowledged or not the proposal contained in the statement annexed to his note, and it was in consequence of his answer, that there was transmitted to him yesterday, at eight in the evening, an order to quit the territory of France.
January 18.
A letter from Bremen, dated the 6th inst. states, that the emperor of Russia has asserted his claims on the Duchy of Holstein, which has occasioned no small uneasiness at the Court of Denmark.
January 26.
The king of Prussia has presented the Russian officer who brought him the intelligence that Paul had ascended the throne, with his portrait richly set in brilliants.
HOUSE OF COMMONS. Dec. 30
King's Message.
Mr. Pitt rose to move an address to the King for his message respecting the late negotiation for peace, alluring him of the most vigorous and effectual support of his faithful commons in the further prosecution of the war. Mr. Pitt went through all the stages of the negotiation. He contended that our offers to France were sincere, just, fair, and liberal, whilst the whole of their conduct on the other hand, was subtil, arrogant, and insulting. He ridiculed their absurd and infatuated idea that they could never alienate a territory they had once declared belonging to France, and wondered they had not in their frenzy annexed the City of Weltminister to the Republic, one and invisible.
In a word, he said, the question as they would make it, was not what we should give as the price of peace, but how much disgrace we should submit to, as preliminary to asking for it? He believed, and indeed, he was sure, that there was not a man in his majesty's Councils who would ever yield to such disgraceful humiliation as signing for peace in the mode they prescribed (by renewing the propositions through the medium of Couriers.) He hoped there were but few in the British Parliament, who would agree to it; and he trusted, that there was not one subject in his majesty's dominions, who, knowing the disgrace of such a measure, would agree to be the courier of it.
Mr. Erskine rose, under evident marks of indisposition, to move an amendment, but after proceeding for a few minutes, he was obliged to sit down quite exhausted.
Mr. Fox regretted that the house, and the country had been so suddenly deprived of the talents of his learned and non. friend and that the talk should have devolved on him.
He entered into a brief history of the war, and stated that after a struggle of four years, after expending 250 millions of money, adding 6 millions to our annual expenditure, and sacrificing some hundred thousand valuable lives, we were brought to this predicament, our enemy was more extravagant in their demands than they were at the commencement.
After entering in detail on the comparative state of this country and France, and replying to the arguments of the Minister, he concluded by moving an amendment expressing their regret of the prospect of involving the country yet deeper in the war; arraigning the conduct of administration for having undertaken it; and finally in remonstrating against the restoration of Belgium as a fine quanon.
Mr. Dundas went over the grounds taken by Mr. Pitt; and Mr. Gray supported the amendment.
The house divided on Mr. Fox's amendment; when the numbers were, for the amendment.—Ays 37—Noes 212.
A debate similar to that in the commons took place in the house of lords Address to his majesty, fraught with the strongest assurances of loyalty and support, and of approbation of the steps he had taken, was moved by Lord Grenville and supported by the Lord Chancellor, lords Hawkesbury, Auckland, and other peers. An amendment rendering the address nugatory, was moved by earl Guilford, and supported by the duke of Bedford, and earl Derby; but on a division, there appears for the address 86, for the amendment only 8.
DUBLIN, January 21.
The Lord Lieutenant's secretary acknowledged in the house of Commons on Tuesday night last, that the great body of the people were well affected to the crown and government, and the disaffected were few. If this be the fact, surely the Irish nation has been fully misrepresented by the agents of administration. The constant practice has been to represent this country as in a state of smothered rebellion, so that the government of it was understood to be matter of great difficulty and some danger.
Yesterday the College military corps made their debut under arms. They amounted to about 220, and exhibited a very fine appearance.
Monday a party of the royal artillery, with four pieces of ordnance and 13 ammunition waggons, arrived at Kil-
kenny from Dublin, and next day proceeded on their route to Cork.
Thursday a number of tumbrils and carts filled with ordnance stores, were dispatched from the arsenal in Dublin castle, for Athlone. They were escorted out of town, and as far as Killeock, county of Meath, by a strong detachment of the Linen-hall yeomanry corps.
Yesterday his excellency held a privy council at the castle, at which certain parishes in the county of London-derry were ordered by proclamation, to be declared in a state of disturbance.
PARIS, December 29.
Several letters from Hamburg state that Paul, the first, the new emperor of Russia, found on the table in his mother's cabinet, the minute of a treaty of subsidies, by virtue of which the empress engaged to furnish England with 80,000 men. It is added, that he tore this paper, declaring he would apply himself entirely to the study of the happiness of his people, and of the amelioration of the internal situation of his states.
NEW-YORK, March 20.
We have been politely favored with a letter to a Gentleman of this city, dated, Bermuda, March 8.
"This day I saw a London paper of the 29th of December, which contains a message from the king to his parliament, notifying this important news—That all negotiation for peace with France has terminated."
The letter informs, that on the 18th of February, all Guadaloupe, Point Petre excepted, had surrendered to gen. Abercrombie.
The above is not correspondent with the other accounts of Guadaloupe—but we give it as it stated.
It is thought at New-Providencia, that the Havanna is an object to which no small share of the maritime force is directed; and the fate of which is predicted unfavorable to the Spaniards.
BALTIMORE, March 28.
The Emperor Paul has suspended the levy of troops for three years, throughout his dominions.
The present Empress of Russia is said to have been the first who did homage to the new Emperor her husband. As soon as Catharine was dead, she appeared on the parade, amidst the imperial guards, saying, that, as the first subject of Russia, she thought it her duty to be the first to swear allegiance to her spouse—upon which all the soldiers exclaimed "Long live the Emperor, Paul Petrovitsch!"

LEXINGTON:
Saturday, April 22, 1797.
From the Gazette of the United States.
Mr. Fenno.
A paragraph in your paper of Tuesday, represents the whole expense of Mr. Jay's mission to London to have cost under 14000 dollars. But in a printed report of the secretary of the treasury to congress during their last session, which has fallen into my hands, I see a much larger sum received out of the treasury for the expenses of that mission, by the then secretary of state Randolph, as follows:
  Issued to E. Randolph. Dolls.   May, 1794 for expenses of Mr. Jay's mission 18,000   June—for ditto 3,618   Sept.—ditto 10,000   July, 1795, ditto, & contingencies 5,000   Amounting to 36,618 
If the actual expenses of that mission cost the United States under 14,000 dollars, it is proper it should be known what has become of the remaining sum? Your correspondent can possibly give the necessary information.

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 paper, and bound in boards. The first Number to contain all the laws of a General Nature 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, containing an Abstract of the Duties of a Justice of the Peace, taken from the most Approved Authors, with the different forms of process in that office; as well as the most useful 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 unhandy to carry about, but also more liable to injury; and therefore less durable; and as it is probable that the general laws will hereafter remain a considerable length of time with little 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. JOHN BRADFORD.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
POLITICAL RETROSPECT
For the Year 1796.
From an English Newspaper.
Fighting, blustering, running, scamp- ring,
Ministers with Senates tamp'ring; Frenchmen ardent, Dutchmen glum, Allies treacherous, Britons—MUM.
Slaves for liberty contending; Graceless zealots faith defending; Patriots, friends to truth and reason, Deemed the advocates of treason.
Kings, the cause of Kings declining, With Republicans combining; Bishops men to war-exciting; Popes with Protestants uniting.
Honor, virtue, truth, decaying; Princes, from their spouses straying; Statesmen big with airy visions; Taxes, loans, and requisitions.
Haughty arrogance rewarded; Modest merits disregarded; Honest zeal and wisdom, grown Out of fashion, and unknown.
Bribing, threat'ning, flattering, jeer- ing,
Rioting, electioneering. Warm addressés, fair professions, Coalitions, and concessions.
Peace, from Britain still retiring, Public credit fast expiring; Ruin o'er our heads suspended; Prudence curbed, and wake extended.
The Women of Hensberg.
When the Emperor Conrad the III. besieged Gulpus, Duke of Bavaria, in the city of Hensberg, the women, finding the city could not possibly hold out, petitioned the Emperor that they might depart out of it with as much as they could carry. The Emperor, knowing they could not take away any great quantity of their effects, granted their petition; when the women, to his great surprise, came out of the place, each of them with her husband upon her back. The Emperor was so much moved at the sight, that he burst into tears; and after having much extolled the women for their conjugal affection, gave the men to their wives, and received the Duke into his favor.
