PROPOSALS
For Publishing by Subscription, A NEAT EDITION OF THE KENTUCKY LAWS
I T 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.

T HE subscriber, having been solicited by a number of persons, to lay off a town on his land, lying on the bank of the Ohio river about one mile above Limestone, is induced to offer to the public consideration, those advantages which he supposes the situation enjoys—The bottom on which the town will stand is upwards of three miles long, and about three quarters broad. It lies as well as any land on the Ohio, and is free from floods. The bank of the river at the town will afford excellent landing places, and is remarkably easy of ascent. A road from the town can be had equal to any place on the Ohio, as there will be no river hill to ascend, by going up Limestone creek about two miles, and from thence there is a good road to Washington about two and an half miles. The proposed town has some advantages over Mayville, at the mouth of Limestone—The river bank being much more convenient, and the bottom much more extensive, at the former than at the latter. It is the opinion of good judges, that a road greatly superior to the present Limestone road, can be had from the proposed town. The subscriber is of opinion that the spot intended for the town, enjoys more extensive advantages than any spot on the Ohio. It may justly be considered as the key to the Kentucky and Cumberland countries by land; and there is reason to suppose that it will be the grand place of deposit for the Lake country, as the Sciota river is eventually to be the leading communication from the South to the North. The country on the S. W. side of the Ohio, above and below the proposed town, is so hilly as to forbid the prospect of an advantageous road into the interior parts. The very great increase in the navigation of the Ohio, which has already taken place, and which must evidently increase, will give importance to some convenient spot on that river. The land of the subscriber offers as many advantages as any situation within his knowledge, and he verily believes, from an experience of eight years, that the situation is healthy.
The subscriber intends to lay off a town, with convenient streets and lots fronting on the river, and extending back a proper distance, and will expose the same to public sale on the first Monday in May next—A credit of nine months will be given, and bond and sufficient security required.

CHARLESTON, (S. C.) Feb. 23. Yesterday arrived the Schooner Eliza, Flagg, Cadiz, 38 days. Capt. Flagg brought no papers; the following intelligence we received from him verbally.
About the 25th of December an engagement took place in the Straits of Gibraltar, between the English frigate Terpsichore, of 36 guns, and a French frigate, whose name Capt. Flagg does not recollect, of 44 guns, which after a desperate engagement of several hours, in which she lost all her masts and was otherwise much shattered, struck to the Terpsichore who sent a prize master and nine men on board of her; but the Terpsichore having suffered considerably, could not immediately put more men on board. The Frenchmen, seeing that the British frigate could not man her prize, again took possession of the ship and got into Cadiz with her; she had 35 men including her captain, killed, and 65 wounded. The Terpsichore got into Gibraltar; her loss Capt. Flagg did not learn.
Capt. Flagg further informs, that about the first of January, accounts were received at Cadiz, of Lord Malmesbury's having been ordered by the French government to quit Paris. It was also reported that Gen. Pinckney our minister, had not been received by the Directory, and had received orders to leave France also.
February 24.
We yesterday mentioned that Lord Malmesbury had quitted Paris. It has since been reported, that letters were received in Cadiz, from Paris, of the 20th December, which said that affairs seemed to be-fore seemed to be more embroiled than ever.
The views of peace had vanished, as Lord Malmesbury had quitted Paris, and Mr. Pinckney, the American Ambassador, had been refused an audience, a decree having passed the French government, that all intercourse with the United States should cease, until satisfaction is obtained for the repeated insults which have been shewn by them to France, the chief of which is alleged to be the treaty with Great Britain.
The news of Mr. Pinckney's being dismissed by the directory is confirmed. What an awful crisis does this make in the affairs of this country! Yes, awful as it is, it was foreseen and predicted by the republicans the moment the infamous treaty with Great Britain was ratified. They were certain France would never tolerate such an explicit departure from our neutrality, and open violation of our most sacred engagements with her. Solemn as is the aspect of affairs they are precisely where a wicked administration have long wished to see them. If war with France was not a favorite object with the President's ministry, why was Jay, the greatest enemy France ever had, and who had just libelled the French ministry, sent to Great Britain? Why was a treaty made by which America sacrificed every thing but its hostility to the republic? Why was government, on all occasions, so partial to the British? Why were Tories every where promoted to office? Why was Pickering's long letter published? Why was Morris so long kept in France? Why was Munroe recalled? Why was King an Englishman at heart, and a bitter enemy to France, sent to the court of St. James? Why was Mr. Jefferson opposed? In short why was a thousand things done which could have no other object than to embroil us with that nation?
Americans reflect! It is time to express to the Federal Government, in respectful but firm language, your sentiments on the alarming state of your public affairs—let the President know there is nothing you wish for so much as peace and friendship with France—nothing you deprecate so much as war with the Republic, or an alliance offensive and defensive with Great Britain—If the British treaty must be the price of this peace and friendship, in God's name let it go—it was founded in iniquity, it was carried by art and corruption, and there is no way of healing our wounded honor, or repairing our violated faith, but in rescinding the articles of that execrable contract, which have given just umbrage to our allies.
PHILADELPHIA, March 6. Saturday morning, the Senate of the United States, being convened in their
chamber, on the call of the late President, Thomas Jefferson was sworn in as Vice President of the United States and President of the Senate. He addressed them in the following extem-pore speech:
Gentlemen of the Senate:
Entering on the duties of the office to which I am called, I feel it incumbent on me, to apologize to this honorable house, for the insufficient manner in which I fear they may be discharged. At an early period of my life, and through some considerable portion of it, I have been a member of legislative bodies, and not altogether inattentive to the forms of their proceedings. But much time has elapsed; since that other duties have occupied my mind; in a great degree it has lost its familiarity, with this subject. I fear that the house will have but too frequent occasion to perceive the truth of this acknowledgement. If a diligent attention however, will enable me to fulfil the functions now assigned me, I may promise that diligence and attention shall be sedulously employed. For one portion of my duty I shall engage with more confidence, because it will depend on my will and not on my capacity.
The rules which are to govern the proceedings of this house, so far as they depend on me for their application, shall be applied with the most rigorous and inexorable impartiality, regarding neither persons, their views or principles, and seeing only the abstract proposition subject to my decision. If in forming that opinion, I concur with some and differ from others, as must of necessity happen, I shall rely on the liberality and candor of those from whom I differ to believe that I do it on pure motives. I might here proceed, and with the greatest truth to declare, my zealous attachment to the constitution of the United States, that I consider the union of these states as the first of blessings, and as the first of duties, the preservation of that constitution which secures it: but I suppose these declarations not pertinent to the occasion of entering into an office whose primary business is merely to preside over the forms of this house: and no one more sincerely prays, that no accident may call me to the higher and more important functions which the constitution eventually devolves on this office. These have been justly confided to the eminent character which has preceded me here, whose talents and integrity have been known and revered by me through a long course of years, have been the foundation of a cordial and uninter-rupted friendship between us; and I devoutly pray he may be long preserved for the government, the happiness, and prosperity of our common country.
Soon after the senate removed to the chamber of the house of representatives.
At an early hour a great number of citizens had assembled round Congress Hall, to witness the retirement of our late worthy President WASHINGTON, from public life; the concourse increased to such a degree as to fill the street, and when the gallery doors were thrown open, the house was suddenly filled up to overflowing. The ladies added to the dignity of the scene, numbers of them were seated in the chairs of the representatives, and others were accommodated with seats on the floor of the house. A few minutes after the senate arrived, preceded by their president; George Washington entered, but before he had advanced half way across the floor, a burst of applause broke forth from every quarter of the house—on the entrance of John Adams like marks of approbation were expressed.
The chief justice of the U. States, Oliver Ellsworth, together with judges Cushing, Wilson, and Iredell, were seated at a table front of the elevated seat; the President then delivered the following speech:
[The length of the speech, and want of room, ob-liges us to defer it until Saturday]
BALTIMORE, March 9.
We are indebted to Captain Deglan, who arrived last evening, in twenty hours from Norfolk, for the following very important intelligence.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Grenock (Scotland) to his correspondent here, dated the 25th of December received by the Peggy, Captain Boyd, arrived in Hampton roads, from Liverpool, which
place she left the 2d of January.
All prospects of peace are blown over for the present; our Ambassador, (Lord Malmesbury) having been ordered to leave Paris about 3 days ago, and was daily expected in London from thence.
The French Directory, it is generally supposed do not want peace, knowing well that as soon as the armies return to France, its power would be of short duration.
They have published an arrest suspending all intercourse with America.
The above is confirmed by captain Bunberry, arrived here from St. Bartholomews in 17 days. He says that a Philadelphia built ship, Capt. Cambridge, had arrived there on the 14th of February, from Bourdeaux, 35 days, which brought an account of Lord Malmesbury's being ordered to leave France; and that Mr. Pinckney would not be received by the French Directory as Ambassador from this country, in consequence of which, he was returned to Bourdeaux, where he was waiting to go a passage home.
Capt. Boyd positively asserts, that previous to his sailing, accounts were received at the Custom house of Liverpool of 17 sail of French vessels, men of war and transports, having a number of troops on board, destined for a descent on Ireland, being thro' stress of weather, blown into Bantry Bay, most of them dismasted; some of the people went on shore, were made prisoners, and sent to Dublin; from the situation of the place, the whole must inevitably be captured.
They intended to have effected a landing at Londonderry, in the North of Ireland.
Yesterday arrived Schooner Bessey and Patty, 18 days from Port-au-Prince, and 15 days from Cape Nicholas Mole. The mate of the Bessey and Patty, informs, that the Brigand armed boats were annoying the American trade about that place, by following and taking the vessels, and if they could not get them into port, they made a practice of plundering them at sea—that sometimes the Brigand boats were chased by the English vessels, and that the English and Brigands had frequent skirmishes. He likewise says, that about 54 sail of American vessels lay condemned at the bite of Leogane.
From the Merchants Daily Advertiser, printed in Philadelphia on the 10th instant.
From Capt. Marchat of the Schooner Sally arrived yesterday from St. Bartholomews, we have the following article:
"That previous to his sailing from that port, the ship Hope, Banbridge of Philadelphia, had arrived there in 38 days from Bourdeaux, the captain of which informed, that Mr. Pinckney had been refused by the French Directory, as Minister from the United States, and that the conditions on which he was permitted to reside at Paris were such only as were usually granted to other foreigners—also that the Brett fleet had failed."
We give the above literally as received from Capt. Marchat.
Extract of a letter from St. Bartholomews, dated February 14, 1797, to a respectable merchant in Philadelphia.
"The times are so precarious that the American vessels here are afraid to venture out of port. The island is totally blocked up, all intercourse forbid with an English island, on pain of confiscation of property found on board—the effect of a late resolution taken from the arrest of the directory."
"All neutrals captured bound to French or Dutch colonies will be considered as prizes, and their crews detained as prisoners of war.—The cargoes only of neutrals bound to English islands will be condemned."
"From appearances, all vessels are likely to be captured, as Mr. Pinckney has been refused an audience, and Lord Malmesbury ordered away."
WANTED IMMEDIATELY,

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
STANZAS TO SPRING.
Glad season, redolent of pure delight, Whose genial power diffuses health around, And scatters fragrance o'er the laughing ground While zephyrs whispers joy—in thee unite Whate'er can sooth the soul or charm the sight.
For thee kind nature opens her bounteous stores, Attunes for thee each warbler's soul to love; For thee displays her all-creating powers, And decks with flowrets gay the verdant grove.
Hail then, O Spring! nor let thine ear disdain The grateful offering of these humble lays; By thee inspired, perhaps some youthful swain, In rapturous strains his happier voice shall raise Or wake the trembling lyre to sounds of sweetest praise.
ACTÆON,
THE CELEBRATED FOUR MILE HORSE, WHOSE abilities have been proved to the satisfaction of the pub- lic, as a horse of speed and bottom. Actæon is a beautiful sorrel, fifteen hands high, fine for the saddle, and I warrant him a fine foal getter; he will cover mares this spring at Obed Han- cock's, in Woodford county, at Two Dollars and a half the Leap, Four Dollars Cash, or Five Dollars in Pro- perty, the Season, and will Ensure mares with foal for Eight Dollars.
SIMEON BUFORD, AND OBED HANCOCK.
PEDIGREE.
ACTÆON's sire and dam, were full brother and sister, they were got by col. Dandridge's famous horse Pearnought, their dam was got by the old imported horse Pearnought, their granddam was got by old Jolly Roger. out of a fine mare, brought from Eng- land by the late col. John Chiswell.
PERFORMANCE.
ACTÆON run a match on the fif- teenth day of September last with the great running horse, Bumpard, from Virginia, and beat him with ease two hundred yards in a four mile heat.— Bumpard must have been in great or- der, as the party who bet on him, gave a distance, and bets were two to one against Actæon.
BUMPARD'S PERFORMANCE.
FROM A PRINTED ADVERTISEMENT.
HE won a purse the fall he was three years old at New-Market, beating Mr. Adkin's Gray, Mr. Worham's Medley, Mr. Jones's Flimnap, Dr. Dickinson's Nutcracker, &c. The fall he was four years old, he run for a purse at New-Market, against Col. Ash's Roe- buck, Bellair, &c. Roe-buck won the first heat, Bellair the second, and dis- tanced all the horses that started ex- cept Bumpard; he started for the third heat, and run up within twelve feet of Bellair. Eight days from that time he run at Cabbins Point, and dis- tanced the field. The fall he was five years old he run a match two miles, and won it with ease; and the fall he was seven years old ACTÆON BEAT HIM as above.
