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. This 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.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, TRANSMITTING A REPORT, AND SUNDRY DOCUMENTS, FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE, RELATIVE TO THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMISSIONER FOR RUNNING THE BOUNDARY LINE BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND EAST AND WEST FLORIDA.
Gentlemen of the Senate, and gentlemen of the House of Representatives,
I have received information from the commissioner appointed on the part of the United States, pursuant to the third article of our treaty with Spain, that the running and marking of the boundary line between the colonies of East and West-Florida, and the territory of the United States, have been delayed by the officers of his Catholic majesty; and that they have declared their intention to maintain their jurisdiction, and to suspend the withdrawing of his troops from the military posts they occupy, within the territory of the United States, until the two governments shall, by negotiation, have settled the meaning of the second article, respecting the withdrawing of the troops, garrisons or settlements of either party in the territory of the other; that is, whether, when the Spanish garrisons withdraw, they are to leave the works standing, or to demolish them; and until, by an additional article to the treaty, the real property of the inhabitants shall be secured; and likewise until the Spanish officers are sure the Indians will be pacific. The two first questions if to be determined by negotiation, might be made subjects of discussion for years, & as no limitation of time can be prescribed to the other, a certainty in the opinion of the Spanish officers that the Indians will be pacific, it will be impossible to suffer it to remain an obstacle to the fulfilment of the treaty on the part of Spain.
To remove the first difficulty, I have determined to leave it to the discretion of the officers of his Catholic majesty, when they withdraw his troops from the forts, within the territory of the United States, either to leave the works standing, or to demolish them; and to remove the second, I shall cause an assurance to be published, and to be particularly communicated to the minister of his Catholic majesty, and to the governor of Louisiana, that the settlers or occupants of the lands in question, shall not be disturbed in their possessions by the troops of the United States; but on the contrary, that they shall be protected in all their lawful claims; and to prevent or remove every doubt on this point, it merits the consideration of Congress, whether it will not be expedient, immediately, to pass a law, giving positive assurances to those inhabitants who by fair and regular grants, or by occupancy, have obtained legal titles or equitable claims to lands in that country, prior to the final ratification of the treaty between the United States and Spain, on the twenty-fifth of April, one thousand seven hundred and ninety six.
This country is rendered peculiarly valuable by its inhabitants, who are represented to amount to nearly four thousand, generally well affected and much attached to the United States, and zealous for the establishment of a government under their authority.
I therefore recommend to your consideration the expediency of erecting a government in the district of the Natchez, similar to that established for the territory north west of the river Ohio, but with certain modifications, relative to titles or claims of land, whether of individuals or companies, or to claims of jurisdiction of any individual state.
JOHN ADAMS.
United States, 12th June, 1797.
REPORT Of the Secretary of State, to the President of the United States, of the proceedings of Andrew Ellicott, Esquire, Commissioner for running the boundary line between the United States, and East and West Florida.
Department of State, June 10, 1797. THE Secretary of State respectfully reports to the president of the United States, the substance of the information received the eighth instant, from Andrew Ellicott, Esquire, the commissioner of the United States appointed
to run the boundary line between their territory and his Catholic majesty's colonies of East and West Florida.
Although Mr. Ellicott left Philadelphia, in September 1796, to proceed, by the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, to the Natchez, the place appointed by the treaty with Spain, at which the commissioners of the two governments were to meet, yet owing to the lowness of the waters of the Ohio, he did not reach its mouth until the 19th of December; two days after which both the Ohio and Mississippi were almost frozen over. On the 21st of January, the ice began to give way, and their store-boat arriving on the 28th, proceeded on the 31st for the Natchez. On the 21st of February Mr. Ellicott received a letter, (No. 1.) from his Catholic majesty's governor, Gayoso de Lemos, dated at the Natchez the 17th of February, mentioning the information he had received of his approaching arrival, attended by a military guard and some woodmen, and desiring that the troops might be left about the mouth of Bayou Pierre, assigning for his reason, that every unforeseen misunderstanding between the troops of the two powers would be prevented. With this request, from views of accommodation, Mr. Ellicott complied. Bayou Pierre is about 60 miles above the Natchez.
On the 24th of February, Mr. Ellicott reached the Natchez, and immediately by a letter, acquainted governor Gayoso, of his arrival. The governor on the same day returned an answer, (No. 2.) The day following they had an interview, and fixed on the 19th of March to proceed down the river to Clarkeville, near which it was supposed the line would commence. The Monday following, February 27th, Mr. Ellicott wrote a letter, (No. 3.) to the Baron de Carondelet, his Catholic majesty's governor general of Louisiana, and the commissioners named by the court of Spain, for ascertaining the boundary line, to inform him of his arrival at Natchez, as the commissioner of the United States. The baron's answer, (No. 4.) dated March 1st, was received the 9th, and on the same day governor Gayoso waited on Mr. Ellicott, and informed him, that the baron, in consequence of interesting concerns below, had declined to attend, and that the whole business had devolved on him. Mr. Ellicott expressed his satisfaction, because he expected that he, governor Gayoso, would immediately be ready to proceed. The governor answered, "No time shall be lost; but I fear I shall not be ready by the 19th; and although the baron declines acting, on account of the business which demands his constant attention at Orleans, he is, nevertheless, desirous of having an interview with you, and for that purpose has ordered a galley to be fitted up for your use and accommodation to New-Orleans." Mr. Ellicott considered that the 3d article of the treaty with Spain, required the commissioners for running the boundary line to meet at the Natchez: and that being then at his post, it was his duty to remain there, until the Spanish commissioners should be ready to proceed with him to the place where the line should commence; and therefore he declined the baron's invitation.
On the 27th of February, Mr. Ellicott encamped at the upper end of the town of Natchez, about a quarter of a mile from the fort occupied by the Spanish troops; & two days after hoisted the flag of the U. States. Upon this he received a verbal message from governor Gayoso, by his aid, major Minor, desiring the flag might be taken down, which Mr. Ellicott declined doing. The request was not repeated. Here Mr. Ellicott began his astronomical observations, and found the hill on which he was encamped, to be in latitude 31° 34' 46", or about 39 miles North of the South boundary of the United States.
In this situation, Mr. Ellicott was told alarming stories about the unfavorable disposition of the Indians, under an idea that the United States were meditating their destruction. The whole settlement was for some days swarming with them; and they frequently went about his camp with drawn knives. For his own safety, he frequently issued provisions to them. Thus critically circumstanced, he, on the 11th of March, wrote to governor Gayoso the letter, (No. 5.) to which he received the answer, (No. 6.) But
in the mean time, Mr. Ellicott had sent an express to the commanding officer of his escort (consisting of only 25 men) which, in compliance to the governor's first request, he had left 60 miles up the river, to come down directly to the Natchez.—And being determined not to countermand this order, he, on the 13th, wrote to gov. Gayoso the letter (No. 7.) proposing Bacon's landing, about a mile below his camp, for the station of his escort; but before this letter was sent, he had an interview with the governor, who undertook to prove the propriety and necessity of the whole party from the United States, going down to Clark's place, and closed his reasoning by observing, "That if the escort did land at the Natchez, he should consider it as an insult offered to the king his master." Mr. Ellicott then telling the governor, that he should send him immediately an answer in writing, observed, "That the desire which was constantly manifested to draw him from that place (the Natchez) appeared very singular, as it was designated in the late treaty between his Catholic majesty and the United States, as the place of meeting for the commissioners; and therefore that he should reject every proposition that was intended to draw him from his present situation, until the commissioner and surveyor on behalf of the crown of Spain, were ready to proceed to business." To which the governor replied, "Sir, you either mistake my meaning, or I have expressed myself very badly. I do not want you to leave this place, but on the contrary, I am desirous for you to take up your residence in my house; you will live there much more comfortable than in a tent." Mr. Ellicott said, "That his tent was much more agreeable than a palace; for in his camp he enjoyed an independence characteristic of the nation he had the honor to represent." The next morning Mr. Ellicott sent his letter, (No. 7.) and the same day received the governor's answer, (No. 8.) expressing his entire satisfaction with Mr. Ellicott's sentiments, as uniformly agreeing with his own, in every thing which could combine the mutual interests of the two nations.
The evening following, (March 15th) Mr. Ellicott's escort arrived at the landing, and the next day went down to the place he had proposed for their station.
The officer of the escort having found in the settlement a number of deserters from the American army, took them up. This occasioned some verbal communications between governor Gayoso and Mr. Ellicott, the former desiring the deserters might be dismissed. Mr. Ellicott thereupon proposed this arrangement: That such deserters from the army of the United States as came into that country, and took the protection of the Spanish government, prior to the time fixed by the treaty for the evacuation of the posts, should, for the present, remain unmolested; but that such as had come to that country since that time, should be liable to be taken and detained.
About the time Mr. Ellicott's escort arrived, the principle part of the artillery was taken out of the fort, and carried to the landing, and every appearance made of a speedy evacuation; but on the 22d of March, grand artillery was used in carrying cannon back to the fort, which were immediately remounted. This gave great alarm to the inhabitants of the district, who generally manifested a desire of being declared subjects of the United States, and at once to renounce the Spanish jurisdiction. In order to quiet the minds of the inhabitants, and to be able to give them some reasons for the governor's conduct, which now began to be hostile to the United States, Mr. Ellicott, on the 23d of March, wrote the letter (No. 9.) which was followed by a note, (No. 10.) to which he received the governor's answer, (No. 11.) This answer, containing information that the important business of running the boundary line should soon be commenced, and an assurance that nothing could prevent the religious compliance with the treaty; Mr. Ellicott expressed his satisfaction in his letter to the governor (No. 12.)
It being now reported, that the American troops would be down in a few days, the governor sent by his aid to Mr. Ellicott, an open letter from the governor, directed to captain Pope,
who it was said, commanded these troops, informing him, that for sundry reasons it would be proper, and conducive to the harmony of the two nations, for himself and the detachment under his command, to remain at or near the place where the letter should meet him, until the posts should be evacuated; and as every preparation was making for that purpose, the delay would be but a few days, when he would be happy to see him at the Natchez. This proposal to captain Pope, the governor in his letter, (No. 13.) desired Mr. Ellicott to second. Upon reading the letter, Mr. Ellicott observed to Major Minor, that it was impossible for him to join in the governor's request to capt. Pope, as it was well known to him, (Mr. Ellicott) that instead of evacuating the posts, they were making them more defensible. However, Mr. Ellicott said, he would write a letter to the officer commanding the detachment, and requested Major Minor (as he was to be the bearer of the governor's letter, to the Walnut Hills) to take charge of it; to which he had no objection. This letter is (No. 14.)
On the 28th of March, the governor issued the proclamation, (No. 15.) bearing the date of March 29th, and another, (No. 16.) bearing the same date, with the avowed object of quieting the minds of the inhabitants; but it produced a contrary effect. As soon as the governor discovered this, he requested two gentlemen of the settlement, to inform Mr. Ellicott that he, (the governor,) had received directions from the general in chief, (the Baron de Carondelet,) to have the artillery and other military stores expeditiously removed from the fort, which were immediately to be given up to the troops of the United States, upon their arrival. Great pains were taken to inculcate, this report; but it did not remove suspicions. In order, therefore, to obtain a direct explanation, Mr. Ellicott, on the 31st of March, wrote to the governor the letter, (No. 17.) inclosing two paragraphs, (No. 18.) of an address he had received from a number of respectable inhabitants of the district. The governor's answer, (No. 19.) of the same date, confirmed every suspicion, as it contained an explicit declaration, that his general had given him positive orders to suspend the evacuations of the posts until the two governments should determine, whether the works were to be left standing, or to be demolished; and until by an additional article to the treaty, the real property of the inhabitants should be secured; agreeably to his proclamations in which the governor thought proper to tell the inhabitants that negotiations were on foot between his Catholic majesty and the United States, for the adjustment of that and other matters. It may not be improper to remark, that no such negotiation has existed; and that this is the first time that these objections to the evacuation of the posts have been heard of. This peremptory declaration of governor Gayoso requires no comment.
Mr. Ellicott says, that with the exception of about eight persons, including some officers, all the inhabitants of the Natchez district within the limits of the United States are desirous of coming under their jurisdiction, and to have a government established there similar to that north west of the river Ohio. My inquiries enable me to add, that the population amounts to near four thousand souls.
Mr. Ellicott further informs, that he has not only reason to believe, but is certain that many grants for lands in that district, have been given out by the officers of the government of Louisiana, since the ratification of the late treaty, and that their surveyors are now executing the surveys.
On the 14th of April, when Mr. Ellicott was folding up his dispatches, he received from Governor Gayoso the letter No. 20, of that date, complaining of the enlistment of persons in that district, as an infringement of the rights of his Catholic majesty; and requesting that the persons enlisted might be discharged: To which Mr. Ellicott immediately returned the answer, No. 21; observing, that the matter required investigation; but assuring Gov. Gayoso, that he would be careful neither to infringe the rights of the subjects of his Catholic majesty, nor willingly suffer those of the citizens of the United States to be infringed.

The bearer of Mr. Ellicott's dis- patches informs me, that before he left the Natchez they had heard that two gun-boats were preparing at New-Or-leans to bring up reinforcements; and since his arrival I have received infor- mation which, connected with this de- tail of facts, is entitled to belief, that about the tenth of May, three large boats, full of troops, besides a party by land, set off from New-Orleans for the Natchez. It was added, for the purpose of driving off the continental troops that had taken possession, agree- ably to the late treaty.
TIMOTHY PICKERING.
June 12, 1797. I have just received from the secretary of war, two letters (which I have numbered 22 and 23) dated the 18th of December, 1796, from the officer of his Catholic majes- ty, commanding the post at New-Ma- drid,—one addressed to the late gen. Wayne, and the other to lieutenant Taylor, whom the general sent thither with letters, to obtain information relative to the delivery of the posts occupied by his Catholic majesty's troops, within the territory of the U- nited States; by which it appears, that the evacuation of those posts was at that time proposed to be deferred, merely because the water of the Mis- sissippi was so low as to render the transport of artillery, &c. very diffi- cult and the navigation dangerous.
TIMOTHY PICKERING.
IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE.
BOSTON, June 7.
Yesterday afternoon, arrived here ship Telemachus, Capt. Prentiss, in 30 days from Liverpool; by whom we have received London papers to May 4th—which contain Paris news to April 28th—much later than before received.—These papers abound with events of the greatest magnitude.
The article most interesting to A- mericans contains well corroborated accounts that preliminaries of peace had been signed between the Emperor and the French republic; having been concluded between the Arch-Duke Charles, and Gen. Buonaparte. The events which led to this measure, were an unexampled series of victories by the French army of Italy over the Au- strians; in which the latter lost be- tween 15 and 20,000 men in killed, wounded, and prisoners; great quan- tities of ammunition, military stores, provisions, &c. and two millions worth of quick silver from the mines of I- dra. Our corroborations of this intel- ligence, are:—First, Mr. Fox in the British House of Commons the 3d of May announced the event, and Mr. Pitt did not contradict it.—Second, the French Executive Directory, on the 26th April in a message to the council of Five Hundred, says a dis- patch from gen. Moreau, is terminated by the following postscript:
A courier which I received this mo- ment from Gen. Buonaparte, announ- ces me the signing of the preliminaries of peace with the Emperor." This message created the liveliest emotions of joy, as the harbinger of a speedy peace.—Third, the Directory in an- other message on the same day, to the Council of Five Hundred say, "The constitution ought not to be put into activity until after peace; but every thing announces that this peace will be concluded in less than a month."
It may be necessary here to state that the reason why the Directory did not receive a courier from Buon- aparte, announcing the above event as early as Gen. Moreau, was, that Gen. Buonaparte in order to stop the useless effusion of blood, directed the courier he sent with the intelligence to proceed to Moreau's and Hoche's armies on the Rhine before he went to Paris.—Fourth Gen. Vernier, Go- vernor of Strasburgh, (on the Rhine announced by the sound of trumpet, on the 4th of April, a letter from Gen. Vandamme, as follows: "I have the pleasure to inform you, general, that the preliminaries of a peace have just been signed by the army of Italy; and an armistice, has just been proclaimed between the Austrian army, and that of the Rhine and Moselle; and in consequence you will cease all hostili- ties, and the advanced posts will re- main in the same position."
This event caused unusual demon- strations of joy at Strasburgh; which was brilliantly illuminated. At Paris numerous discharges of artillery an- nounced the peace—business was sus- pended—and the streets and gardens resounded with the shouts of Vive la
Paix! Vive la Republique —Fifth, Gen. Leciere, arrived at Paris from the army, left the two generals settling the preliminary terms of peace. Gen. Buonaparte required, that a formal acknowledgement of the French Re- public, by the Emperor, should be ex- punged from the treaty, as the repub- lic stood not in need of it, for its ex- istence. A number of less prominent occurrences, convince us that, peace now exists between the French Re- public and the Emperor of Germa- ny.
It will be asked, does the peace in- clude Great-Britain? We can give no decisive answer upon this head.—A Paris paper, of April 26, says, "The Directory reckons on a peace with En- gland."—And on the 2d of May; the British parliament voted 1,880,000, loan to the Emperor, likewise provis- ions for guaranteeing 3,500,000. To be raised on account of the Emperor. This was on the day the news arrived of the Emperor's having made peace; the officiality of which Mr. Pitt seem- ed unsatisfied with; but told the house if it was necessary to stop the loan it could be done in any stage of the bill.
The conditions of the peace are va- riously stated—Some say that "Austria consents to the Boundaries of the Rhine and the Alps, and the liberty of Lombardy and Mantua." Others state the conditions to be, "1st the Inde- pendence of Italy. 2d. the cession of part of Upper Austria to the Prince of Orange. 3d. the expenses of the war to be paid by the Emperor." These terms are only editorial conjectures.
The French armies of the Upper and Lower Rhine, both passed that ri- ver about the 16th April. Gen. Mo- reau attacked and carried at noon day the strong post of Kehl, and at 7 o'clock in the evening planted the tri colored flag on the battlement of that very Kehl which they defended for fifty- two days, against Prince Charles and all the vigor of his veteran army. Gen. Hoche established his position on the right side of the Rhine, after a pitched battle and three actions, in which he took 7000 prisoners, 27 can- non, 7 standards, and 60 waggons.

MUTINY IN THE BRITISH FLEET.
A SERIOUS MUTINY
Broke out in the whole channel fleet the 15th April. On that day, when admiral Bridport ordered the fleet to prepare for sea, instead of weighing anchor, the crew of the Queen Charlotte, gave three cheers, as a signal of disaffection—as the plan had been premeditated, the rest of the crew followed: the officers thunder- struck, could do nothing. They were soon all confined and ropes hung from the fore yard arm in terrorum to the unpopular of the fleet. Deputies from each ship immediately repaired on board Queen Charlotte, a first rate, and the mutiny in consequence of an intemperate procedure of Admiral Gardner, assumed a most alarming prospect—The demands of the seamen were an advance of pay of 30s. per month; a due allowance of provis- ions; a more equal distribution of prize money; and a displacement of several obnoxious officers. These de- mands created the most alarming ap- prehension in the British ministry; but they were complied with in their fullest extent.
Admiral Bridport communicated to the crews the concession of the govern- ment, and a pardon from the King; on which they all returned to their duty.
The contagion spread through every port in England; but at the sailing of the Telemachus, order had been re- stored.
A new loan for 18,000,000l was car- ried in the House of Commons, May 2, 193 against 50.
No intelligence had been received from Mr. Hammond, who had been sent to Vienna on a pacific embassy.
Twenty-one counties cities and towns have petitioned for peace and the dismissal of Pitt. Other coun- ties, &c. were assembling.

Three Hundred Dollars Reward.
WHEREAS a certain Christopher F. Parnell, sailed from Boston, on or about the 27th of October last in the Sloop Union, with a valuable cargo, bound to Baltimore, but went off to the west Indies, where he sold the vessel and cargo. On or about the first inst. he was apprehended (as a suspicious character) in this town, and examined before several magistrates, but for the want of sufficient proof to detect him in his villainy, he was discharged. The fact is, the said Parnell is a villain, and is attempting to defraud sundry persons to the amount of 20,000 dollars. He left this town about the 10th inst. He rode in a chair, painted green, drawn by a gray mare, and went on the Newbern road, but on this side. The road, took the road to Fayetteville, and most probably is passing through the back part of the state into the western counties. He had when he left this town, upwards of 2000 dollars in gold, and about 7000 dollars in bank notes. Parnell is a small man, about thirty years of age, much pock marked, has long black hair, remarkable small eyes, and has a down look when spoken to. Whoever will secure the said Parnell, and the money he has with him, and give information to Benjamin Williams of Baltimore, John Hogg Esq. at Hillsborough, to Mr. A. Jocelin of this town, or to the subscriber who is in pursuit of the villain, shall receive the above reward. ABNER CRAFT. Wilmington, (N. C.) April 26, 1797.
