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 unhappy 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.

WEZEL, March 5.
Generals Hoche and Moreau are both at Cologne, where the passage of the Rhine is rigorously prohibited. A speedy passage of that river is much talked of there. Near Landau more and more forces are constantly collected, to excite the attention of the Austrians.
FRANKFORT, March 4.
General Werneck is again gone to the Siege; but no active preparations are as yet perceived on the part of the Austrians for opening the ensuing campaign on the Lower Rhine. Much is said to depend upon the answers which the Emperor expects from Petersburg.
We have advice from Basle, that two couriers from Vienna passed through that city on their way to Paris; the result of their mission will decide whether there is to be peace or war.
Our city has been declared neutral by the French Republic, but when our magistrates solicited the same favour of the Emperor, he returned for answer, to augment the contingent of this city which hitherto consisted of 300 men, to 1400, under pain of military execution.
From Limburgh, on the Lahn, we learn, that the Austrians make every preparation to defend that district against the French, by raising redoubts, felling trees, bushes, &c.
PARIS, March 11.
In the sitting of the 8th of March, of the Council of Five Hundred, Treillard, in the name of the commission of finances, opened the budget of the French Republic, and after him Monnot, Villers, and Cambacérès presented different resolutions calculated to make the receipts of the French Republic equal to the expenses. Among the resolutions proposed are a lottery, the sale of the ground round the garden of the Thuilleries and the national palace, and bonifications upon the stamp-duty and registers.
LONDON, March 15.
The reports of a change of ministers continued to occupy the conversation of every political circle yesterday. Mr. Pitt's retirement from office is universally admitted to be a measure of indispensable necessity. Even his friends abandon all hopes of his keeping his station, and decline arguing against the propriety of a change. But though they find the defence of Mr. Pitt, a task which neither talent nor assurance can expect to succeed, they attempt to serve his views by attacking his opponents, whose advice, if followed, would have saved the country. Many are the schemes of a new administration now circulating throughout the metropolis. Every man forms such a one as he wishes; but no man includes Mr. Pitt in his arrangement. This is a subject of considerable delicacy at present, and therefore we forbear entering into particulars. We shall only observe that one plan of a new ministry is very much talked of; and we know it is seriously in the contemplation of those whose conduct has the greatest influence, to adopt, if possible, that plan. It will be well understood what we mean. The plan is at present a darling favorite of the court faction, because it is imagined, with justice we believe, that such a plan would enable that faction to continue the very system which has reduced us to our present calamitous situation. That faction cares not what men are ministers, if their favorite system is pursued; and they are now plotting to patch up something that may be called "a new administration," in hopes that they may delude the public, and continue their ruinous oppression, prodigality and corruption.
The reports of a new loan for twelve or fourteen millions, are rather premature. Every man knows that Mr. Pitt wants the money, but who knows where to find it.

ANTIGUA, April 17.
We have been long looking for the intended attack of Guadaloupe, which I begin to think will never commence. Sir Ralph Abercrombie, our general, having sailed four days since to attack Porto Rico.
PHILADELPHIA, May 4.
We have received from the Franklin, Capt. Dridale from Bourdeaux, Paris and Bourdeaux papers are received down to the 9th March—from which we extract the only articles that we find novel.
L'Eclair of the 3d March says.—
Government has received advice from East Indies of the utmost importance, the particulars have not transpired, but it is supposed that they relate to a treaty offensive and defensive concluded between Tippoo and the Mahrattas.
The deputies from the new Italian republic have given a sum of 12,000 livres as a present to the support of the parents of those who have died and those who have been wounded in the armies of the republic, and other poor persons at Paris.
Puyfaye who has been arrested at Laval in Mayenne had a variety of important papers in his possession which have been secured, and develop the assassinating plots of the most inveterate enemies of the republic.
Advices from Constantinople say, that the frequent conferences which take place between Polish general Ujonfky, Aubert Dubayet, and the chief Dragoman of the Porte, have given much alarm to the Austrian ambassador, as they seem to countenance a report concerning the destination of those military preparations and movements carrying forward on the frontiers of Wallachia, and Hungary.
Agreeable to one of the articles of the treaty between the republic and Naples the latter is to furnish grain and provisions to the amount of eight millions, and to deliver the same free of all duties or expence when and wherever they shall be required by the agents of the republic.
The plans of Carnot, are now likely to be completely executed: the measure of Wurmler in shutting himself up in Mantua, prevented the perfect execution of the vast designs of the campaign of 1796. Italy being now completely restored to peace, the project will be resumed, and Austria will become again the point of rendezvous for the two armies now under Moreau and Hoche, and for that of Italy also under Buonaparte; the army of the latter alone, will consist of 100,000 men.
They speak of the approaching evacuation of Leghorn by the French troops, agreeable to certain arrangements with the Grand Duke, by which the Republic will be indemnified for all the expenses incurred, in consequence of his having suffered the English to violate the neutrality of his territory to the prejudice of the French, who are at peace with Tuscany. The English are to be shut out of that port till a peace takes place, and those of the magistrates who have connived at the outrages and assassinations perpetrated by the subjects of the Duke, as well as by the Neapolitans and English, are to be punished, together with such of the assassins as are already in custody, or may be hereafter found. Proceedings have already been had on these particulars, and cordiality is now likely to be restored.
May 12.
A letter by the Ellice arrived at New-York from England, describes the condition of the working people in the metropolis as in a state of the most unexampled distress; the rage for building has ceased, and the only expectations of carpenters and masons, were from the new plan of constructing docks at Wapping, which had been carried on with very little vigour compared with the vastness of the design and the spirit with which it was at first taken up; but the general distress had very much slackened the ardour for public undertakings: the silk manufactures were in even a worse state than at the breaking out of the war; and numbers of all trades endeavouring to make their way to America.
Men of property who wish to serve the interest of the United States, by the erection of manufactures which may render us more completely independent of foreign nations, have now a very favourable opportunity for the accomplishment of an object so essential, and at the same time of opening an asylum to the numerous men of ingenuity which the present unhappy war has left without the means of honest industry.
It appears from Buonaparte and Berthier's letters, that the Republi-
cans did not meet the least resistance in the expedition against the holy house of Loreto: the blessed wooden lady and her miraculous gown were packed up and dispatched to Paris, where they will henceforth figure in the cabinet of antiquities, on the side of other pagan idols, as monuments of the villainous deceptions practised by priests, and of the brutish ignorance engendered by slavery. The troops who overthrew the altars of the idol of Loreto, amounted only to a few hundred led on by the intrepid chief of brigade Marmont: before the French revolution had dispersed the clouds of mad superstition, a general would have thought it too hazardous to attempt the same with an army of 50,000 men; yet even before that event, took place, none of the pious European kings would have scrupled more than Buonaparte to seize the treasures of the wooden lady, and employ the donations of idiots and bigots for the maintenance of his army.
A few years ago it was yet seriously asserted by crafty monks, and implicitly believed by all orthodox Roman Catholics, that the holy house of Loreto was the very same in which the virgin used to live with Joseph at Nazareth, and that about the end of the 13th century, it had been transported by angels from Judea to Dalmatia, and from thence across the Adriatic to Italy. The well fed pensioners of the holy virgin shewed to strangers the hearth where she used to dress her victuals, the earthen dishes she and her infant made use of and the gown worn by the image during its migration from Palestine to Italy, which is made of red camblet. They pointed out the window by which the angel Gabriel entered at the annunciation, and as far as mortals are able to judge of the size of angels, the aperture seemed large enough for an archangel to pass through. The idol representing the virgin Mary with the infant on her arm, is about 3 feet 10 inches high, and as the monks assert, was made of cedar by St. Luke the evangelist, who, the scripture says, was a physician whilst in this, and if the assertion of the priests be true, must have turned sculptor in the other world.
To see the migrating house, and beg favours of the wooden lady, no less than from 15 to 20,000 enthusiasts arrived annually from Poland, Hungary, Germany, Spain, &c. neglecting for about 4 or 6 months, all their family concerns, and becoming a burden to the people through whose country they travelled, as most of these bigots made vows to live on the charity of others, during their pilgrimage. The number of Italians resorting every year to Loreto exceeded 50,000; the whimsical incidents which commonly took place among those motley bands of hypocrites and enthusiasts, were of such a nature as gave sufficient cause to the tender husband and honest father, to dislike the frequent vows of their wives and daughters to pay a visit to the blessed virgin of Loreto.
The object being now removed to France, the idolatry must cease of course, and all Europe, but Italy more than any country, will be benefitted by the wise and bold action of Buonaparte. If we consider, that, by sending the little cedar idol with all its appendages to Paris, the French gen. has cut superstition by the root, it cannot excite the least surprise, that, this sacrilegious conduct of "carrying off holy rags, and miraculous images," should have been duly arranged in the New-York Minerva; for, a man like Mr. Webster, who in his wonderful tales on the subject of France and French affairs, has given so many proofs of extraordinary sensibility, must needs sympathize with old rags and wooden images.
RICHMOND, April 29
Thursday night last the magistrates, together with the serjeant and constables of the city, divided themselves into different parties, and went to several gambling houses, and seized upon the implements with which they were then playing. The proprietors of the tables were indulged till yesterday to get security for their appearance at the next court, and the tables together with a great variety of implements, were taken by the constables yesterday morning to the market house, and burnt in the presence of a very numerous assemblage.
On the same night an attempt was
made by some robbers to get into the public treasury of this state. On finding the outward doors too well secured to obtain admittance, they endeavored to get in at one of the windows, by pulling down the whole of the frame which contained the whole of the bars in front. There being a patrol out, it was conjectured they were alarmed, and desisted from any further effort.
NORFOLK, May 1.
Saturday arrived the schooner Friendship, capt. Harris, 200 days from St. Bartholomews. By this vessel we learn, that the French continue capturing our vessels.
Capt. Harris also informs, that an American schooner fitted out at Baltimore, with 12 guns and 50 men, on or about the 25th of March fell in with a French privateer to the windward of Antigua, called La Mere Patrie, of 10 guns and 65 men. The privateer ordered the captain of the American schooner to heave too and send his boat on board with the vessel's papers: which was refused; in consequence of this, the privateer fired two broadsides into her. The American sailors enraged at the conduct of the privateer, fired two broadsides in return, which killed the captain, lieutenant, doctor and 15 men. The privateer dropped her sails and struck her colors, but the Americans refused to take possession of her: observing, however, an American prize brig to the windward, she hoed for her, retook her, and bro't her into Antigua. She was from Norfolk, bound to Antigua, with a cargo of Corn and Flour.
The French privateer went into St. Bartholomews, where she got a new captain, and proceeded again to sea. She has since captured a Newhaven brig from Martinique, bound home, with 100 hds. molasses, and sent her to Guadaloupe.
THE members of the LINGTON LODGE, No. 23, are requested to be punctual in their attendance at their Lodge Room, on Saturday the 24th inst. precisely at 7 O'Clock A. M. being the Anniversary of St. John the Baptist.

LEXINGTON :
Saturday, June 3, 1797.
From reports through different channels, there appears a probability that we are on the eve of an Indian war. A large body of Indians from the different tribes North-West of the Ohio, as well as from the Southward, are said to be collected in the Spanish territory opposite the Illinois, where the Spaniards have assisted them in erecting a very large council-house.
The reason said to be given by the Spaniards for the encouragement given by them to the Indians to settle in the territory of Spain, is, to enable them to repel an invasion apprehended from Canada.
An express from the commandant at Fort Massac, to gen. Wilkinson, passed through this place on Thursday last—by him we learn, that, from the late conduct of the Indians, that post is thought to be in considerable danger.

Extract of a letter from Theveneau, commissary of the Executive Directory, at Gonaives, to citizen Santhonax.
Gonaives, March 31.
CITIZEN,
I hasten to communicate to you, an instance of the wonderful bravery of our sailors. The Diabla Point, a small barge, carrying but one swivel gun and 14 men, commanded by Michael Millan, has captured an English privateer of ten guns and 40 men. The enemy had 7 of their men killed. We had but three men wounded. These conceited sovereigns of the Ocean, are not even able to protect their trade against our small row-boats.
Health and respect.
THEVENEAU.
Extract of a letter from gen. Desfourneaux, commander in chief of the the army of the North of St. Domingo, to citizen Santhonax.
Port Liberte, March 1.
CITIZEN COMMISSARY,
The 4th column led on by the chief of brigade, Grandet, has repulsed the Brigands and compelled them to return to the mountains. A very considerable number of them had descended into the plain, and they intend to oppose the passage of our troops; but many of them were killed in the attempt. We had only one man of Achilles's company killed, and ten wounded. I am very much pleased with the conduct of the dragoons commanded by Adoms, who is among the wounded.
DESFOURNEAUX.
Aoul De Samedi, March 2
I hasten to inform you that the five columns under my command, are everywhere victorious, and killed a great number of the enemy. The first column supported by the second, attacked with the usual impetuosity of Republicans, the camp of St. Malo, commanded by the emigrant De Rouvrai, colonel in his Britannic majesty's service; they chased him from his entrenchments, and put his corps to flight. Rouvrai was so closely pursued after his defeat, that he left his hat, his gloves and a quantity of ammunition, and red coats; he was so eager to effect his escape, that he abandoned his whole correspondence, which I have the honor to transmit to you.
DESFOURNEAUX.
P. S. I have sent to the arsenal of Fort Liberte a brass four pounder, 100 musquets and two barrels of fine English powder, which were captured in the engagement.
Aoul De Samedi, March 4.
The chief of brigade, Grandet, has taken by storm, the fortified camp of Rubi. We are much indebted for the success of this expedition, to the courage and activity of that excellent officer. I have united my two columns, and we are ascending the mountains to attack Valliere. I have just received 20,000 cartridges.
La Valliere, March 4.
CITIZEN COMMISSARY,
I have the honor of informing you, that the district of La Valliere is restored to the republic. The cowardly emigrants, and some of the Brigands,
have fled to Banica. The three first columns, led on by the chief of brigade, Moise, have subdued this district after several vigorous engagements. These parts appear to be well cultivated, and many of the habitations are in an excellent condition. Above 10,000 persons of both sexes have already surrendered themselves, and the remainder are daily coming in. I cannot bestow too much praise on all the intrepid soldiers, whom I have the honor to command.

Wednesday, at high water, (a little past past 1 o'clock) was launched The United States Frigate, in the view of many thousands of spectators, not only from the city, but from the neighbouring parts of the country. It was, in the language of sea-faring men, "a fine launch," as the vessel passed off the stocks into her proper element with the greatest ease and regularity, and, what is allowed to be a remarkable circumstance, & is a proof of the firmness of her structure, she only hogged one inch. Commodore Barry commanded on board, where every thing was conducted with the greatest order.—The heads of the department of the General Government were present, in the United States brig Sophia, Captain O'Brien. The vessel left the stocks amidst the acclamations of the assembled thousands, and a federal salute.
We are happy to add, that the concourse of people, upon the water and on land, who so eagerly crowded to witness the launch of the first ship of war of this country, were so great, we have not heard that the least accident happened, to damp the satisfaction which seemed to be generally felt on the occasion.
This vessel is, perhaps, one of the handsomest and completest Frigates ever built in any country, and though she is intended to carry only 44 guns, she is as large as a 64 gun ship.
It is reported, and we believe the report has some foundation, that the Spanish ambassador has presented a memorial from his court to the secretary of state, complaining of sundry vexations and breaches of treaty which the subjects of his most Catholic majesty experience from the United States or the citizens thereof. The specific grounds of complaint we have not been informed of.
Letters received by gentlemen in Baltimore, dated Leogane, April 20, mention that that place is again blockaded by the British.
Peter Porcupine has lately published his will, in which he makes the following bequest to Mr. Jefferson:—"To Thomas Jefferson philosopher, I leave a curious Narway spider, with a hundred legs and nine pair of eyes; likewise the first black cut-throat general he can catch hold of, to be flead alive, in order to determine with more certainty the real cause of the dark colour of his skin; and should the said Thomas Jefferson survive Bannier, the almanac maker, I request he will get the brains of said Philomath carefully dissected, to satisfy the world in what respects they differ from those of a white man."
[From the Philadelphia Daily Advertiser.]
Whereas the partnership of Peter Porcupine and George Rex, is this day dissolved, by mutual consent, in consequence of the said George Rex refusing to pay specie, according to the nature of his agreement. All persons indebted to the said Porcupine and Rex, are requested to make speedy payment, and those to whom they stand indebted, to render their accounts to Peter Porcupine, Philadelphia; who is authorised to settle said partnership.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
THE FOX CHASE.
At the sound of the horn, We rise in the morn, And waken the woods as we thunder along. Foix, yoix, tally ho, After Reynard we go, While echo on echo redoubles the song. We waken the woods as we thunder along, Tally ho, tally ho, After Reynard we go, While echo on echo redoubles the song.
Not the fleeds of the Sun, Our brave coursers outrun, O'er the mound, horse and hound, fee us bound in full cry! Like Phebus we rise, To the heights of the skies, And careless of danger, five bars we defy. We waken the woods, &c.
At eve, Sir, we rush, And are close to his brush, Already he dies, see him panting for breath, Each feat and defeat, We renew and repeat, Regardless of life, so were in at the death. We waken the woods, &c.
With bottle at night, We prolong the delight, Much Trimbush we praise, and the deeds that were done: And yoix, yoix, tally ho, The next morning we go, With Phebus, to end, as we mount with the Sun. We waken the woods &c.
ANECDOE.
A student of Middle temple, being just called to the bar, lent for the peruke maker to measure him for a new tye-wig. The peruke-maker, on applying his apparatus in one direction, was observed to smile; upon which the young barrister desirous to know what ludicrous circumstance gave rise to his mirth, the barber replied, "that he could not help remarking the extreme length of his honor's head." "That's well," said the student, "we lawyers have occasion for long heads." The barber, who had now completed the dimensions, burst out into a fit of laughter; and, an explanation being insisted on, at last declared, "that he could not possibly contain himself when he discovered that his honor's head was just as thick as it was long."
