PROPOSALS For Publishing by subscription, A NEAT EDITION OF THE KENTUCKY LAWS.
IT is proposed, that this edition shall contain only the Laws that are of a general nature, and will consist of the laws lately revised, and to be revised; there will be no more given of local or private laws, than their titles and time of passage. From the best calculations, it will extend to about six hundred pages.
CONDITIONS. I. This work will be printed in two Numbers, large Octavo, with a neat letter, on good paper, and bound in boards. The first Number to contain all the laws of a General Nature already revised. II. The price to Subscribers will be Three Dollars; one half to be paid at the time of subscribing, and the balance on the delivery of the Second Number. III. The work will be put to press as soon as five hundred copies are subscribed for, and the first Number completed with all possible dispatch; the second will be delayed until the revival is finished. IV. If the laws do not exceed five hundred Pages, there will be added an appendix, containing an Abstract of the Duties of a Justice of the Peace, taken from the most Approved Authors, with the different forms of process in that office; as well as the most useful forms of conveyancing, &c. There will also be added, a copious index, whereby any article may be easily found by inspection; and the Constitution of this State and the United States will be prefixed. V. Those who subscribe for twelve copies, shall have one extra.
As the form in which the Acts of Assembly have been printed, renders them not only unhandy to carry about, but also more liable to injury and therefore less durable; and as it is probable that the general laws will hereafter remain a considerable length of time with little or no alteration; it is the object of this work to remedy those evils, by surmounting them in a portable form, and of durable materials. JOHN BRADFORD.

CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Monday, May 15.
This day the House of Representatives met, agreeable to the late proclamation of the President. After some time, Mr. Beckley (clerk to the late house) rose and observed that as seventy members were present, the house had formed a quorum.
Mr. W. Smith (S. C.) then proposed that the house should proceed to the choice of a Speaker. Ballots were accordingly prepared. Mr. W. Smith and Mr. Livingston were chosen tellers. The votes being collected, were as follows, viz.
Table with 2 columns: Name, Votes. Mr. Dayton 78, Mr. Dent 1, Mr. Baldwin 1.
The new Speaker (Mr. Dayton) then thanked the house for this renewed instance of attention and confidence. He hoped he should meet with the same uniform assistance that he had on a former occasion to enable him to go through the arduous duties of his office, and which, without support, his utmost efforts could not have maintained.
It was then proposed that the house should proceed to the choice of a clerk. The Speaker read, from the Journals of last Congress, the following rule. "In all cases, where others than members of the house are eligible, there shall be a previous nomination." He considered this rule as virtually in force, till the house should proceed to the choice of new rules.
Mr. W. Smith objected to the mode of nomination. He mentioned several reasons for seeing nothing binding in this rule.
Mr. Giles argued for observing it. By this means, gentlemen would have an opportunity of bringing forward what they had to say in favour of each candidate. New members, from distant parts of the Union, could not be supposed to be acquainted very well with the merits of respective candidates.
Mr. W. Smith (S. C.) and Mr. Thatcher both opposed the mode of nomination. They did not see that the house had any thing to do with the former rules. They saw no reason why gentlemen should be anxious to support it. Mr. Thatcher never knew it observed, but in the election of chaplains.
Mr. Williams was on the same side of the question.
Mr. Claiborne was perfectly clear that their should be a previous nomination.
The Speaker was then for putting the question, whether the election should be made by ballot without nomination, when Mr. W. Smith again rose, and said that the best way would be to put this question, shall the house now proceed to the election of a Clerk? He saw no use for nominating, because new members would have no time for enquiring into the merit of the respective candidates who might be named. This rendered the previous nomination of no use, there being no time to enquire about the characters of candidates.
Mr. Macon said that, last session, the house acted under this rule, in the choice of a sergeant, and other officers.
Mr. Giles observed that, by proposing a previous nomination, he did not mean to cause any delay, but only that gentlemen should have an opportunity of discussing the qualifications of the candidates, and their respective titles to confidence. However, he did not much care in what way the question of nomination went.
Mr. Thatcher saw no harm in delaying the election, even if a nomination were made, because in the mean time the former clerk was, by a standing rule, considered as clerk of the house till a choice could be made.
The house then passed in the affirmative the motion of Mr. W. Smith, and proceeded to ballot without a previous nomination. The votes were
Table with 2 columns: Name, Votes. Jonathan Williams Condie 41, John Beckley 40.
It was then moved that Mr. Bradford should administer the oath to the Speaker; which was done accordingly. The House were then sworn by the speaker.
The clerk was next sworn. On motion of Mr. Williams, a message was then sent to the Senate to inform them that the house had formed a quorum, made choice of a speaker, and were ready to proceed to business. A similar message was likewise received from the Senate.
The Sergeant at arms, Mr. Wheaton was then unanimously re-elected; as were Mr. Thomas Claxton, as door-keeper, along with his former assistant.
Mr. Sitgreaves moved that a committee should be appointed in conjunction with one from the Senate, to wait on the President and inform him that the two houses were ready to receive any communications that he might be disposed to make. Mr. Venable, Mr. Kittera, and Mr. Freeman were accordingly nominated.
Mr. Williams then made the usual motion for the members being supplied with three newspapers of this city, at the public expence.
Mr. Coit moved to strike out of the motion the words, "printed in this city, and delivered at their lodgings."
Mr. Hartley objected to the amendment, as he conceived the use of granting newspapers, was to inform their constituents of the proceedings of the house.
On a division, the amendment was negatived, ayes 27, noes 49. The original motion was then carried.
Mr. Bradford then moved that the house should proceed to the appointment of chaplains. On a division, ayes 51; but no actual nomination took place this day.
A message then came from the Senate by their clerk, Mr. Otis, that they had appointed Messrs. Livermore and Langdon as a joint committee, with that from the House of Representatives, to wait on the President.
Mr. W. Smith next moved, that the rules and other proceedings, of the last House be adopted, till a revisional operation of the former rules should take place.
A new member would not, he said, vote for them, till he knew what they were. He moved, that they should be read; but on explanation, he withdrew his motion, not to detain the house.
On motion that the former rules should be printed—Ayes 54.
Mr. Sitgreaves then moved that a committee should be appointed to prepare a report on the rules. This was agreed to, and three members were appointed.
Mr. Williams then moved that a committee of elections should be chosen. The Speaker said that this motion was superseded by a standing rule of the house to the same effect. A motion was then made that a committee of election should be chosen, which was done.
The committee appointed to wait on the President now returned. Mr. Venable reported, that he is to meet both houses to-morrow, at twelve o'clock, in the house of Representatives.
Tuesday, May 16.
Messrs. Coit, Varnum, Williams, Dent, Harrison, Hartley and Baldwin, appeared from the minutes to be the newly elected Committee of Elections.
A message from the Senate informed the House that they had appointed the Rev. Bishop White as their Chaplain, to interchange weekly with the Chaplain, to be appointed by that House.
It being near twelve o'clock, the Speaker observed, that it had been usual on similar occasions to the present, to send a message to the Senate, to inform them that the House is now ready to attend them in receiving the communication of the President, agreeably to his appointment; such a message was agreed to and sent accordingly.
Soon after the members of the Senate entered, and took the seats assigned them; and a little after twelve, the President of the United States entered and took the chair of the Speaker (which he vacated on the entrance of the Senate, the President and Clerk of the Senate being placed on the right hand of the Chair, and the Clerk on the left.) After sitting a moment, he rose, and delivered the following Speech.
(See Kentucky Gazette of Wednesday last.)
Wednesday May 17.
This day was principally occupied in Committee of the whole on an Answer to the President's Speech. A committee for draughting of which was appointed.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTORY,
12 Ventose, (March 2.)
The Executive Directory having consulted the law of the 9th March, '93, considering that the flags of neutral powers being no longer respected by the enemies of the French Republic, and all the rights of men being violated to their prejudice; it is no longer permitted to the French people towards those powers, in general, to obey that with which they have so often manifested, and which they will constantly entertain for the full and entire freedom of commerce and navigation;—directs, among other dispositions—
1. That ships of war and privateers may stop and bring into the ports of the republic, neutral ships, which shall be charged, in whole or in part, with merchandise belonging to the enemy.
2. That merchandise belonging to the enemy shall be declared good and lawful prizes, and confiscated to the profit of the captors.
3. That in all cases, neutral ships shall be released the moment that the merchandise seized is discharged; that the freight of it shall be paid at the rate which shall have been stipulated by the consignors; and that a just indemnity shall be granted, on account of their detention, by the tribunals competent to decide on the validity of prizes.
4. That these tribunals shall be directed besides, to send, three days after the decision, a double inventory of the merchandise to the minister of marine, and another to the minister of foreign affairs.
5. That the present law, applicable to all the captures that have been made since the declaration of war, shall cease to have effect, as soon as the enemy shall have declared non-seizable, also destined for the ports of the republic, the merchandise laden on board neutral ships, which shall belong to the government, or to French citizens.
Having seen the law of the 27th July, '93, which directs the foregoing law to be fully executed; having also seen the 7th article of the law of the 13th Nivose, 3d year, which enjoins all the agents of the republic, to respect and observe, in all their dispositions, the treaties which unite France to the neutral powers on the continent, and to the United States of America; considering that this last law is not derogatory to the law of the 9th May '93, resolves as follows:
Art. 1. The commissaries of the Executive Directory, with the civil tribunals of the department, shall take care, that in the contests upon the validity of maritime prizes, no decision shall be founded upon the 7th article of the law of the 13th Nivose, without the minister of justice having been previously consulted, conformably to the 4th article of the 8th Floreal, 4th year, relative to the treaties in virtue of which neutral persons pretend to withdraw themselves, by means of the first of these laws, from the execution of the 9th March '93.
2. The minister of justice shall examine whether the treaties still subsist, or whether they have been modified, since the conclusion of them—There shall be furnished to them, by the minister of foreign affairs, all the documents of which they shall stand in need, and reference shall be made to the Executive Directory, as it is prescribed by the law of the 8th Floreal, 4th year.
3. The directory remind all French citizens, that the treaty concluded on the 6th February, 1778, between France, and the United States, has been of the terms of the second article, modified of full right by that which has been concluded at London, on the 10th of November 1794, between the United States of America and England: In consequence—
1. After article 17th of the treaty of London, of the 19th November '94, all merchandise of the enemy not sufficiently ascertained to be neutral, conveyed under American flags, shall
be confiscated, but the ship, on board of which such merchandise shall be found, shall be released, and given to the proprietor. The commissaries of the Directory are enjoined to accelerate by all means in their power, the decision of the contests which shall arise, either upon the validity of the captures of the cargoes, or upon freight and insurances.
2. According to the 18th article of the treaty of London, dated 19th November, 1794, relative to articles declared contraband by the 12th article of the treaty, dated February 6, 1778, are added the following:
Ship timber, oakum, pitch, and rosin, copper for sheathing vessels, sails, hemp, and cordage, and every thing that serves directly or indirectly, to the arming and equipping of vessels, excepting bar iron, and fir in planks. These articles shall be confiscated as often as they shall be destined, or attempted to be carried to the enemy.
3. According to the 21st article of the treaty of London, of the above date, every American who shall hold a commission from the enemies of France as well as every seaman of that nation, composing the crew of the ships and vessels, shall by this fact alone, be declared piratical; and treated as such, without suffering the party to establish that the fact was in consequence of threats or violence.
4. In pursuance of the law of the 14th February, '93, the regulations of the 21st of October '94, and of the 26th of July '78, respecting the manner of vessels and neutral merchandise, shall be complied with according to their form and end.
Every American ship shall therefore be deemed a lawful prize, which shall not have on board a bill of lading in due form, according to the plan annexed to the treaty of the 6th of February, 1778, the execution of which is enjoined by the 25th and 27th articles of that treaty.
5. The commissaries of the Executive Directory are required to carry into effect the penalties that attach on all clandestine attempts, that may be made by American or vessels belonging to any other nation, to pass as neutral, on board the vessel where the fraud is attempted to be practised, in the manner that these penalties have been repeatedly carried into effect during the present war. The penalty shall attach where the blanks of the consignments and invoices are not filled up, though signed and sealed; where the papers are in the form of letters, containing fictitious signatures; where there are double passports or policies, specifying different destinations; where consignment is made to two or more factors, and where there are different receipts, or papers of any kind which consign the whole or part of the same goods to different owners, or different destinations.
6. By this article, the provisions of the arrest of 9th Frimaire last, relative to freight & insurance, are repealed, as far as they apply to insurance.
7. The present arrest shall be published in the bulletin of the laws. The ministers of the marine and of the colonies, of justice, and for foreign affairs, are charged with the execution of it in their respective departments.
(Signed) REWBEL, President. LEGARDE, Sec. Genl.
LONDON, March 25.
The following is a copy of the petition agreed to by the common hall on Thursday:—
To the King's most excellent Majesty, The humble address and petition of the lord mayor, aldermen and livery of London, in common hall assembled, on Thursday the 23d of March 1797.
May it please your majesty. "We, your majesty's most faithful and loyal subjects, the lord mayor, aldermen and livery of the city of London, in common hall assembled, approach the throne with deep affliction, and with the most awful apprehensions from your majesty's ministers persisting in measures which an accumulation of unprecedented calamities has manifestly proved unwise and destructive, immediately tending to pervert, and even to destroy the acknowledged principles of our justly boasted constitution.
"We lament that by the evil insinuations of your majesty's advisers, these nations have been plunged into

war unparalleled in misery and destruction, which has nearly ruined our commerce, impoverished our manufactures, depopulated our country, stopped the public credit, and widely extended the most flagitious corruption.
"We most deeply deplore that your majesty's ministers, abandoning the principles they once possessed, have endeavored to prevent the remonstrances of your people, attacking the very vitals of our constitution, and depriving your subjects of liberties which their ancestors with so much energy "claimed, demanded and insisted on, as their undoubted right and inheritance," and which it is our duty to transmit to posterity, pure and inviolate, and for the defence and preservation of which, your majesty's royal house was chosen, and placed upon the throne of these realms.
"We therefore most humbly beseech your majesty to dismiss forever from your majesty's presence and councils, those advisers, both public and secret, of the measures we lament, not doubting that, by a change of councils, such measures may be adopted as will speedily procure the inestimable blessings of peace, and produce, such a system of economy as shall restore the public credit, and the happiness of your people. But should your majesty any longer confide in such advisers, we are firmly convinced that they will completely undermine that basis of national prosperity and happiness, the reciprocal confidence of a sovereign and a free people, and inevitably destroy the boasted privileges, the internal peace, and the numerous blessings, that Britons have heretofore enjoyed."
The sheriffs of London attended yesterday at St. James's, and waited for above two hours to have an interview with the king, to know when the address and petition for turning out his ministers, as carried in the common hall, should be brought up; when the duke of Portland delivered a verbal message, that his majesty had always received addresses from the city of London in their corporate body, and not by representatives; upon which, the gentlemen retired without going into the presence chamber!!!
We had hoped, as his majesty must now be convinced that it is the ardent desire of almost all his people, that his present ministers should be dismissed from his councils for ever, no slight objection in point of form would have been urged to the receiving of any representation, coming from any body of his subjects, upon an event so nearly connected with their happiness and welfare.
The new loan is to be negotiated next week. It is for fifteen millions sterling according to some persons, and seventeen millions according to others!
April 7. The Hamburg mail which was due arrived this morning.
Letters from Vienna, of the 15th ult. mention, that the reinforcements were Marching both to the army of Italy on the Rhine.
The Emperor of Russia is determined to support the constitution of the Germanic Empire.
Several skirmishes had taken place between the Advanced posts of the armies which had in general terminated favorably to the Austrians.
IRISH INSURRECTION—Quelled. Dispatches from Lord Camden, L. L. of Ireland, to the Duke of Portland, contain the agreeable information, that the insurrection in the northern parts of that kingdom, had been entirely quelled.
INTERESTING ENGLISH AFFAIRS. BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
House of Lords, March 27. Lord Oxford, in a maiden speech moved an address to his majesty for peace with France. The distress of the country was his inducement. The Duke of Norfolk declared ministers had lost all public confidence. Earl Guilford supported the address. It was opposed by Lords Grenville, Barrington, Moreton, Spencer, Carlisle, and Coventry, principally on the idea, that the French Directory did not wish for peace. The motion was negatived 53 to 18.
March 27. DISMISSAL OF MINISTRY. The earl of Suffolk introduced his proposed motion for the dismissal of ministers, by condemning the system which they had pursued from the be-
ginning of the war to the present time. He concluded by moving,
"That an humble address be presented to his majesty, praying him to dismiss from his councils his minister the first lord of the treasury, he having by his conduct lost the public confidence."
A long debate took place, at the conclusion of which the house divided, Against the motion 86—Proxies 18—104—For the motion 15—Proxies 2—17.—Majority 87.
PEACE—WAR.
HOUSE OF COMMONS, MARCH 29. Mr. Pollen rose to apprise the house of his intention to bring forward a motion, of great importance to the country; in doing this, he disclaimed the idea of embarrassing ministers or provoking irritation in the public mind.—The state of affairs required, in his opinion, an immediate revival of the negotiation for peace; and if the enemy refused to listen to moderate and honorable terms, he trusted that the house would afford a cordial co-operation with ministers, in a vigorous prosecution of the war. It was therefore his intention to move on Friday April 7,
"That an address be presented to his majesty, praying that he would be graciously pleased to renew the negotiation for peace, or declare explicitly his reasons for carrying on the war."
PORTSMOUTH, (N. H.) May 12. IMPORTANT.
Arrived, Mary, Rice, in 39 days from Hamburg, informs, that news was received at that place, a few days previous to his leaving it, that the misunderstanding between the United States and France, was amicably settled, and that Mr. Pinckney was certainly received and acknowledged, and that orders (which he saw and read) were issued by the Directory to capture no more American vessels, unless they had two sets of papers, and were carrying on a contraband trade. That in consequence of the above, insurance had fallen from twenty-five to only four and a half per cent, on American vessels bound to America.
NEW-YORK, May 17. The ship Jay, Dury, arrived yesterday, sailed from Dublin on the fifth of April. We could not get the papers last evening.
Verbal accounts state, that Ireland is in the utmost consternation, on account of the state of finances of that country; very little business doing; paper in almost total discredit; flax seed could not be sold; the farmers will not sow that others may reap. Government played a deep game—they drew 600,000 guineas from the bank, and then published the king's order!

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
THE SHOE-STRING.
IN days of yore, New-England chiefs, Content with simple things, Begirt their handsome square-toe'd shoes, With lasting leather string.
But British beans, who then did wear The buckle in the shoe, Beheld our worthy sires with scorn, And ridicul'd them too.
Well, Britain's sons the buckles try'd, Through ev'ry size and form; At last, they laid them all aside, And string their shoes adorn.
Not now, indeed, the leather string, So ancient and so strong; But ribbon gay, with double bow, How worthy of a song!
A fashion this, so mickle grand, The ocean could not bar; But soon some vessel from that land Brought o'er the mode from far.
This mode full soon, as sure it ought, From town to town did ring; And ev'ry beau soon ty'd his shoe With this exotic string.
This fashion long has been in vogue; 'Twill soon be laid aside; And what will next be introduc'd, No prophet can decide.
Ye modish slaves, when will ye cease To put the wife in pain? Well, change your fashions as ye please, It alters not THE SWAIN.
ANECDOLE.
Some gentlemen seeing a fellow stand still when it rained very fast, they asked him why he stood still in the rain? Why, (says he,) do you think me such a fool as to ride in the rain as you do?
From a London Paper.
James Brown, boot-closer, eat a turkey weigh- ing seven pounds and a half—a hand of pork, weighing four pounds and a half—a twopenny loaf—a shilling's worth of oysters—two pen- ny pies—and drank a gallon of porter—half a pint of gin—and a shilling's worth of punch, for a wager of a guinea; and performed it with ease in thirty-five minutes, at the Sun public house, Charles street, Westminster.—Ministers should land this man in France without delay, if they have yet any hopes of reducing that country by famine.

BEING engaged a workman from Philadelphia, perfectly acquainted with manufacturing Cord- age in all its different branches, is determined to engage extensively in that business; he will therefore give the highest prices for good well cleaned HEMP and TAR, and generous wages to all such FOUR- NEYMEN Rope Makers as can come well recom- mended for their sobriety and industry. He would also wish to take a number of boys from twelve to fif- teen years of age, as APPRENTICES to the said business, who shall be well clothed and comfortably boarded in the family of Mr. Dodge the manager, who has come forward highly recommended as a man of character, and perfectly well acquainted with the management of a rope walk, and whom the subscrib- er has taken into partnership.

Three Hundred Dollars Reward.
WHEREAS a certain Christopher F. Parnell, failed from Boston on or about the 27th of October last in the Sloop Union, with a va- luable 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 ap- prehended (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. horse in a chair, painted green, drawn by a gray mare, and went on the Newbern road, but on this side Trenton, 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.
