Mr. PRINTER, PLAIN simple Peasant thro' the medium of your useful paper wishes to make a few interrogations, viz.
As the time for us to elect Delegates is almost at hand; what shall we do; or what shall we not do? This is the question—Shall we choose Farmers, Lawyers or Magistrates to represent us? A dire dilemma!—On all sides there is danger.—Farmers, perhaps, are too ignorant; Lawyers too full of quibble and mischief, and Magistrates too aspiring and designing.—The Lawyer, whose business is chicanery, will make laws to perplex and deceive.—The Magistrate can fix the pay for his own services as high as he pleases; the Lawyer in hance his own fees; but the Farmer none of these.—O baleful ignorance! how prostrate are thou!—As the aggregate not only of legal but also political science, is beyond controversy, centred in the Lawyer and Magistrate; which of these must have the legislative preference? Should not the Lawyer have it? Should such a multiplicity of honorary as well as lucrative offices be continued much longer to be loaded on the shoulders of the Magistrate, will it not have a tendency to exalt him so far above us common and simple peasants that he will think us made for his particular use, honor and emolument. Will it not tend to raise up amongst us a multitude of ARISTOCRATS and DESPOTS? Does not the word COMMON-WEALTH, properly signify or convey the idea of COMMON GOOD, RICHES OR HAPPINESS? If there be the designation or principles of our GOVERNMENT; ye honest circumvented Peasants, will you not cast your eyes around you, look and ponder; if you can find any amongst you of honor, education and ability? If it be possible that any of this character can have escaped an employ from the impartial, equally distributive and sagacious eye of his excellency our GOVERNOR, and our honorable body of SENATORS; I repeat if any such you find; shall we give them our suffrage or not?
Might not almost innumerable improprieties and impolicy be pointed out in blending the Legislative and judicial departments?—But stop my pen! lest you draw, by speaking truth, the fury and indignation of the Magistracy upon the simple and ignorant head of the
PEASANT.
Friends and Fellow Citizens.
Permit me this once, to address you freely, firmly and affectionately; and disclose to you a secret pregnant with good, not only to our community, but
to the world of mankind at large—a secret which the wise and wealthy have ever been too modest to reveal; and which the poor and illiterate were too ignorant to discover. But to keep you no longer in suspense, it is simply this: that in the economy of nature, there has been a set of men in every age, born to wealth and invested with innate wisdom to rule, govern and dispose of the rest of mankind to whom an implicit and unreserved obedience ought to be paid—and to the ignorance of the populace in this particular, may be attributed the changes, convulsion and distress that most nations have been the subjects of; this sentiment, appears in a measure to have prevailed in the Roman empire, when that illustrious distinction took place between the Patricians and Plebians, in consequence of which, the Patricians were entitled to offices and privileges which the Plebians were totally disqualified for—but through the ignorance of the populace which is ever the curse of a people; this ever memorable distinction was in a measure lost in the world, and is almost entirely extinguished in the American states, excepting Virginia. I must in honor and justice to our parent state, say that it still prevails there; and the seeds of it is got into Kentucky, and from the complexion of our constitution and laws appears to agree well with our soil. We have already wrested the most of the power out of the hands of the Plebians; we have by a principle in our constitution, deprived one tribe of people and their posterity forever, of the privilege of free men, and why not another? and what is it we may not hope for from such favorable beginnings—may we not hope shortly to see a fair line of distinction drawn; a propper and becoming subordination taking place in our country, the Patricians ruling & governing with all that imperial dignity and grandeur which the possession of wealth and innate wisdom can merit; and the Plebians bowing their obsequious necks to the servile, tho' necessary yoke. Then, and not till then, will the wheels of government move rightly. This, and
only this, can supercede the necessity of the common people meddling with government, and puzzling their brains with politics, a subject which nature never formed them for. It would save them the trouble of so frequently meeting to deliberate and consult their common interests. They might attend to their farms & rest satisfied that imperial wisdom could not err. But I know in opposition to the principle I am now pressing, it will be urged that mankind are born free, are born equal, and reason and nature points out no such difference, that often amongst the poorer classes of mankind the brightest geniuses appear that the Plebians are not such fools and blockheads as the Patricians would represent them to be; that laws oppressive to the common people at large have ever been found to originate in design and private interest rather than ignorance, that in a republican form of government where the power is or ought to be vested in the people, that they are under the necessity of making themselves acquainted with government to consider their rulers as their servants, and ever accountable to them for their conduct; and unless that people living under a republican form of government are possessed of public virtue and pays the most scrupulous and strict attention to their own interest and the conduct of their representatives; that they will be in a far worse situation than to be governed by a single magistrate.
These things, and abundance more stuff of the like nature, will be thrown in my way, but I care not a fig for them all, for if my first principle is true they must be wrong, and until they can prove it false, I shall still retain my former sentiments, and subscribe myself an honest
PATRICIAN.
As there has been many trespasses committed on the lands held by the heirs of Mr. Angus M'Daniel, laying on the waters of South Elkhorn, such as falling saleable timber, getting bark for tanning, destroying a number of sugar trees &c. This is to caution them in future, who may attempt the like, that they may expect to be dealt with as the law will direct.

Foreign Advices.
PARIS, December 15.
THE explanation of the affairs of Frankfort, has laid open the most horrid, the most infamous scene that ever shocked human nature; the most premeditated scheme of murder and assassination; and sorry am I to add, that this barbarous business did not appear reprehensible to the king of Prussia or the duke of Brunswick—Can you hear and not revolt with indignation, that the Landgrave of Hesse ordered the knives with which the soldiers of the Republic were butchered, to be forged under his immediate inspection. That he sent some of his Satellites, and a band of carpenters, to direct the massacre of the Second. The Hessians distributed money amidst the populace, got drunk with them, and then formed their infernal plan.
When the town was summoned to surrender, the soldiers were, upon the drum beating to arms, assassinated as they repaired to their quarters; some by their hosts, others from the windows in the streets, others were seized by the groups on the ramparts and thrown over the walls. The wives of the soldiers were all without compassion to their sex, inhumanly murdered, notwithstanding our brave soldiers made a most obstinate resistance; but the assassins, to the amount of 1000, forced the Coblenz gate, and butchered the artillery company, and volunteers on duty. The battalion of St. Onge, seeing their situation, fought in desperation.—They mowed down whole companies of the prussians, and after burning their last cartridge, they took to the bayonet.
Here the Prussians, frightened at the "Arme Blanche," called out for them to surrender—this was complied with by the soldiers reversing their firelocks, and the officers lowering their swords and colors. After an awful silence, the Prussians opened their ranks and let in the disguised Hessians, &c. The volunteers with that confidence which soldiers have in their enemy gave up their arms; when on a sudden these villains drew their knives, and butchered every man without exception.
My eyes are so full, I can scarce see what I write!
Some few escaped along the Mayne, under the protection of a detachment of the first battalion of Chasseurs, with two pieces of cannon, and some cavalry, who had advanced to cover their retreat; in this affair 1200 men have been slaughtered.
Monday 3d. to complete the horror, several French soldiers was sent from Frankfort to Mentz with their hands cut off!
I entreat you for the honor of humanity, to state these circumstances, which I announce to you from the best authority; and to add, that the Generals of the French army have still continued their usual generosity and humanity to the Prussians wounded and prisoners; and have ordered this detail to be published in German, and dispersed all over the countries we have conquered.
Tell me what instance in history furnishes so shameful an example in time of war, from one enemy to another?
LONDON, January 26. Copy of a letter from Lord Grenville to Mons. Chauvelin.
Whitehall, January 25. I am charged to notify to you sir, that the character with which you have been invested at this court, and the functions of which have
been so long suspended, being now terminated, by the fatal death of his Most Christian Majesty, you have no more any public character here.
The king can no longer, after such an event, permit your residing here. His majesty has thought it to order, that you should retire from this kingdom within the term of eight days; and I herewith transmit to you a copy of the order, which his majesty, in his privy council, has ordered to this effect.
I send you a passport for you and your suite; and I shall not fail to take all the other necessary steps, in order that you may return to France with all the attention which are, due to the character of Minister Plenipotentiary from his Most Christian Majesty, which you have exercised at this court.
I have the honor to be, &c. (Signed) GRENVILLE.
American Occurrences.
PHILADELPHIA, March 20. By the ship Truall, Capt Watts, in 39 days from Lisbon, the following interesting intelligence was received.
FRANCE. NATIONAL CONVENTION. TUESDAY, January 15. THE FINAL JUDGMENT OF LOUIS XVI.
The nominal call being terminated, M. Vergniaux, the president, rose and spoke as follows:
"Out of 735 voters, 26 have been absent by leave; 5 by illness; 1 for cause unknown; 26 made divers declarations; and 693 have voted for the question in the affirmative—I do declare, in the name of the Convention,
"THAT LOUIS CAPET IS GUILTY OF HIGH TREASON, AND OF ATTEMPTS AGAINST THE GENERAL SAFETY OF THE STATE."
Here the second question was put, "Shall the APPEAL to the PEOPLE TAKE PLACE?"
A great number of the members spoke for and against the appeal; and against every one of them who seemed apprehensive of all the complicated horrors of civil war.
When Couplet and Manuel gave their vote respecting this question, they expressed in the strongest language, their indignation at having heard one of the nearest relatives of Louis vote for his death.
Soon after M. EGALITE came to vote on the second question, he said—"I only mind my duty, and I do vote that the appeal shall not take place."
Cloots voted against the appeal.
The nominal call was determined at eleven o'clock, and the following was the result:
 Members absent 20  Members who did not give their vote 10  Sick members 3  Absent members without cause 3  Members for the appeal 283  Members against the appeal 474 
Majority against the appeal 280. Here Barrere the President rose and said:
"THE NATIONAL CONVENTION DOITH DECREE. THAT THE SENTENCE WHICH IT SHALL PROOUNCE UPON LOUIS CAPET, SHALL NOT BE REFERRED TO THE APPEAL OF THE PEOPLE!"
SENTENCE PRONOUNCED AGAINST LOUIS THE SIXTEENTH.
PARIS, January 17. Thursday, half past nine in the evening. I am sorry it falls to my lot to communicate to you the most dis-
tressing intelligence of the event which has just taken place.
The National Convention after sitting near thirty-four hours, has just voted, that the punishment of
DEATH SHALL BE INFLICTED ON HIS MOST CHRISTIAN MAJESTY.
THE LAST REQUESTS OF LOUIS.
"I demand a delay of three days, in order to make the necessary preparations to appear in the presence of God!—I demand for that purpose to send for and see freely the person whom I name—the person whom I demand is M. Eschavaux de Formont—he lodges at 483, Rue de Bacq.
"I demand that his person be secured from all disturbance, from all apprehension on account of the last offices of charity which he shall render me.
"I demand to be freed from that perpetual inspection, which the council general has established over me for some months.
"I demand in this interval to be able to see my family as often as I shall request, and without witness.
"I would request that the national convention would immediately proceed to deliberate on the fate of my family, and permit them to retire wherever they think proper.
"I recommend to the nation all the persons who were attached to me. There are many of them who have expended all their fortunes to purchase places under the new government, and who, having now lost their sole dependance, must be in circumstances of want. Among my pensioners were many aged and indigent persons, who had no other means of support except the pensions when I gave them.
(Signed) "LOUIS." Done at the Temple, January 20, 1793.
Cambaceres—Louis Capet has only made these demands, which you now have heard, to the deputa ion of the Executive council, because they did not inform him of the decree passed yesterday on my proposition, in which the greater part of his requests are anticipated. I demand on that ground, that we shall pass to the order of the day. The Assembly passed to the order of the day.
The execution of Louis XVI. January 22.
Conformably to the arrangements made by the Executive Council, Louis was yesterday put to death at the Place de la Revolution, heretofore Place de Louis XV.
Twenty five citizens of known principles, well armed, acquainted with the manual exercise, and having each sixteen rounds of shot, were chosen from each section to form a guard of 1200 men, who accompanied the unfortunate Monarch to the place of execution.
Strong detachments from the different legions were posted in the streets through which the Royal prisoner was to pass, and also in all the avenues leading to the Place de la Revolution, to prevent any confusion; and each section had a body in reserve, ready to move at a moment's notice, to maintain public order, should any attempts have been made to disturb it.
Cannon were also distributed in every quarter where it was thought they could be any way serviceable had events made it necessary to have employed them; for even to the last moment the sanguinary faction, who pronounced the death of the unfortunate monarch, manifested symptoms of fear that some attempts might be made to rescue him.
Between eight and nine o'clock in the morning, Louis proceeded from his apartment in the Temple, and got into the Mayor's carriage, who accompanied him, as did also M. Edgworth or de Fermon, an Irish Priest, whom he requested might attend him. Louis was dressed in a brown great coat, white waistcoat, black stockings; his hair was dressed.
The procession, commanded by Marechal Sinterre, proceeded along the Boulevards to the Place de la Revolution. One hundred Gendarmes on horseback formed an advanced guard to the procession. The rear guard was composed of one hundred national guards from the military school. Various reserves of cavalry lined the procession and patrolled the outskirts of the city.
The unfortunate monarch arrived at the foot of the scaffold with firmness and dignity—appeared desirous to address the people, but even this was denied him; drums and trumpets gave the signal, and at twenty-two minutes past ten, his head was severed from his body.
The Place de la Revolution was so strongly guarded by troops, that no person was suffered to pass after the King had entered it; those, however, who had previously entered and got near enough to the scaffold, notwithstanding the incessant noise of drums and trumpets, heard him plainly pronounce these words—"Citizens, I forgive my enemies, and I die innocent!"
After his death, the nearest spectators divided amongst them what of his hair had been cut off by the stroke of the Guillotine! and several persons were so inhuman as to dip their handkerchiefs in his blood, which they afterwards carried about crying, "Behold the blood of a tyrant!"
When the executioner showed his head to the people, cries of "Vive la Nation! Vive la Republic!" were heard on all sides, and several groups made use of the following expression, "We always wish'd well to him, but he never wish'd well to us!" Many, showed emotions of a different nature, but which they were obliged to conceal, as much as possible, for their own personal safety.
His body was transported to the parish church of la Magdalene, where it was interred, without any insult being offered to it, between the persons who lost their lives during the illuminations on account of his marriage, and the Swiss who fell on the 10th of August.
Louis, before his departure from the Temple, delivered to the Commissioners of the Council General who were upon the guard, his latter will; two copies of which he had written on the 25th of December last.
Three thousand livres (1201. sterling) were found in his apartments at the Temple, which were sent to the Council General of the Commons.
The city remained quiet, in gloomy silence, through the whole of the day; in the morning the shops were shut, and no woman allowed to be in the streets till the procession had returned with the body of Louis.
This scene of infernal assassination, which a base and cowardly faction have now degraded human nature by executing, calls for a marked execution which it is not in the power of language to convey. Human punishment we know would be even totally inadequate to such dire atrocities. Almighty vengeance must be the portion of those who have thus, step by step, arrived at this damnable crisis. In a word, considering that he was pronounced

inviolable by the constitution, and that no punishment could be inflicted upon him, but forfeiture of his crown; considering that he was not tried according the determined forms of the criminal code; considering that a part of the adduced evidence, such as it was, was withheld; considering that the offices of judge and jury cannot be united; and that the appeal to the people, whose sovereignty was pronounced the sole authority by which monarchy had been abolished, and the monarch brought to judgment, was set aside; we cannot but conclusively consider that Louis XVI. has dyed a martyr.

WINCHESTER, April 8.
In the French National Convention, on the question 'What punishment shall be inflicted on Louis Capet?' Mr. Paine gave his vote as follows: 'I vote for the provisional confinement of Louis, and for his expulsion after the war.'
M. Pelletier, one of the members of the convention, who voted for the death of the unfortunate Louis, was assassinated, in a Coffee house, in Paris, on the 20th of January.
A skirmish lately took place in Dublin, between the volunteers and a part of the military—including both sides, upwards of 30 fell.—This was occasioned by the volunteers parading in a new uniform, with the Irish Harp , and no Crown , upon their buttons, in contempt of royalty; and the military were sent to disperse them.
LEXINGTON, April 27
Copy of a talk sent to General Robertson (Cumberland,) from the Chickasaws.
Chickasaw Nation, Feb. 13, 1793.
FRIEND & BROTHER,
I received a letter from you some time ago when you mentioned to me and other head men to caution our young warriors not to regard the threats or persuasions of the Creeks in warring with the United States. You said the President well knew his friends and would not let them suffer on that account. I am my brother now sending you an answer. Our talks was always so love and esteem one another. We heads have first held you by the hand, and told our young warriors they must do so, and they will, as long as they are able to lift a hatchet. From the friendship we have experienced, you have spoke well, I have sent you a war club. When we both take hold we can strike a hard blow, although we wish to be at peace with all—The Creeks have spilt our blood and we desire you will dispatch expresses to every head man in America, particularly to General Washington, Governor Blount, the Secretary at war and head men at Kentucky and Fort Washington, and General Pickens, to let them know that our agreement was, to be as one man in regard to our enemies and friends, that if one was struck, the other was to feel the blow, and be one common cause.
My brother, you must know it is on your account that we are struck,
for the last talks sent to us by the Creeks, when we told them we were perfect friends with the United States, and would listen to no talks of war against them. Their answer was, the Virginians were liars, and no dependence in them, that the Chickasaws were fools, not to join all other Indians to cut off the Virginians, and that the Chickasaws would know their error before long, as that the Creeks and Northerns would fall on them; then let the Virginians your great friends help you, you will see what they can do. But all their talks did not alter the minds of our people. When you get this talk, speak strong to your young warriors, and let us join to let the Creeks know, what war is.—You make whiskey for war—It is good to take a rake a little at war talk—Please send me some and I will do the same.
As the Red people that have long been at war with yours, have struck ours on your account, I hope my brother, we shall now find what you have always told us true. I believe the Chastaws will join us, and hold you and us fast by the hand. I have wrote to them—The Creeks have killed several of the Virginians among them. We are now standing in the middle of a blaze of fire.—When you receive this, I hope you will be as expeditious as possible, to give us assistance; as Red people are not long preparing for war. We have not ammunition enough, neither have the Chastaws; therefore if you can send a supply immediately, we desire you would do it. Likewise guns for the Chastaws, as there are many of their young men have none—Such as muskets, rifles and smooth bores, will do, and flints. We want six swivels, ten blunderbusses. As it is now war, I desire you will now send a Black smith and tools to keep our guns in order, and likewise a Bombardier to work our swivels. When you receive this, we desire you will send an express to General Washington, to let him know we are now at war with the Creeks, and the path is now stop from our trade, as we were very scantily furnished with stores of war before, therefore I hope he will find means to send us goods, or furnish our traders so that the Creeks may be disappointed, otherwise we shall soon be naked, and more in their power, as we made no crops last year, we all are in a starving condition. I hope you will send a further supply of fifteen hundred bushels of corn, two barrels of flour, about one hundred bushels of Salt, one hoghead of tobacco, fifty bags of Vermilion, (which is 50 pounds) as it is greatly wanted in war. Please send me the boats some way down the river, and give his compliments to General Robertson, desires that he will send him a good plantation and a quantity of wheat. Sir I desire when you read down the river, you may find a strong & sufficient guard with the boats as far as the Bluffs. All our nation are desirous that Gen. Washington will erect a garrison at the Musk Shoals or Bear-creek, or where he may think best to establish it—We have sent you a long talk and depend you will exert yourself on the occasion. We remain your friends and brothers.
