AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF KENTUCKY.
FELLOW-CITIZENS:
ANOTHER charge of some importance which the French government has thought proper to make against the American, deserves animadversion; inasmuch as it is founded in much injustice, and appears to flow from a mistaken idea in estimating those relations and obligations, which then subsisted between France and the United States.
The hostilities which existed between the French Republic and Great Britain, naturally exposed the property of its citizens on the high seas, to the capture & confiscation of each of those powers. In American bottoms a considerable quantity of property belonging to French citizens was found, which, by a supposed right, was taken out by British cruisers, and submitted to by America. France, in the mean time, viewed this submission as an instance of partiality towards her enemy, without taking into consideration that no compact had been made in the treaty of 1778, by either of the governments, to prevent the enemy of either of them from acting as either England had done towards France, in the seizure of its property in American vessels. This treaty, in one of its articles, only stipulated that neither of the contracting parties, should take out of the bottoms of the other, the goods of its enemy, but that the character of the bottom, should be imparted to its cargo. It is evident that at this time, and at no period after, no such stipulation being in existence with Great Britain, her right to take the property of French citizens, or the property of any of its enemies, wherever found, rested entirely upon no other rule, but that adopted in similar cases, by the civilized powers of the world. America, then, having made no compact with France, restraining the operation of this rule, she could not be criminal in submitting to a grievance, which France was doomed to feel, from its absolute and general establishment.
This rule, by which England was governed, towards the property of French citizens, makes up a part of the general law of nations—In this law, we discover that war gives a belligerent power, the right to seize and confiscate the goods of an enemy—It is one received by mankind, and generally agreed to by the most celebrated writers on jurisprudence, and gives a right to seize the goods of an enemy, wherever found, unless opposed by some existing compact, of superior dignity and obligation. Had it have been agreed to by the belligerent powers, that a neutral nation should protect within its limits, the property of either of those powers, they would have formed a compact, which America would have been criminal by not observing, in protecting the property of France from the cruisers of Great Britain. Some cause for complaint would then have existed on the part of France, which could not so easily been refuted by the American government. But, it must be considered that altho' the principle be admitted that a neutral nation should protect by its sovereignty, the goods of a belligerent power, within its own limits, the same principle cannot apply to a vessel navigating the high seas. The ocean, beyond the customary limits prescribed by treaty, remains open to common & general use. Within this jurisdiction, the powers of the earth have such fixed and undoubted right of action, that it would be yielding too much authority to a single neutral nation, to permit of
its exercising power alone, over an element which the author of nature had rendered common to all, unlimited in its use, and of which all had a natural right to make advantage of.
The question then, whether America was justifiable in permitting British cruisers to capture in her vessels, the property of French citizens, has been in some measure decided in the affirmative. The right, on the part of Great Britain, unrestrained by any existing stipulation, between that power and the American government, to seize French property, must appear to be admitted in its fullest and most comprehensive latitude. Nor did the neutrality of America, or a single obligation derived from the treaty with France, alter the course of that political destiny, which the latter was doomed to feel, and which the policy of civilized nations had reduced into system.
Argument, however, need not be resorted to, to prove the validity of this doctrine, which no subsequent stipulation has altered from common practice; and the propriety of which France has admitted in an ordinance of 1744, at this moment un repealed. In this ordinance, which was in force when we made our treaty with her, in 1778, the goods of an enemy in neutral bottoms, are declared liable to capture and confiscation. This act of the French cabinet, blended with the circumstance, of its being in full and complete operation at the time of the American treaty, is so unequivocal and plain, it is matter of surprize, that France should have disputed the point with America, who had so equitable a precedent to exhibit in justification of her side of the question.
When the government of France, formed the ordinance abovementioned, and by which enemies goods were permitted to be captured in neutral vessels, the northern powers of Denmark, and the United Provinces of Holland, were exempted from the stipulation. Thus, a line of duty and of conduct, superior to the existing law of nations, was created, by which those powers should be regulated—It was also agreed in an article of the ordinance of 1778, that French cruisers should not bring into the ports of the kingdom, the vessels of neutral nations, provided the powers with whom France was then at war, should agree on their part, within six months, to make a similar exemption.—This agreement unequivocally proves, that the French government conceived in a repeal of the ordinance, upon the non-compliance of the warring powers, in six months from its publication, would effectually set aside the exception in favour of neutral vessels, and restore the ancient and established rule. What this rule is, the line of duty it prescribes, and the latitude of action it admits of, has already been suggested. In addition to the opinion that France must have known, that she was not governed by justice and by principle, in this question, she has acted for a considerable length of time, in open violation of the laws of nations in both her systems of jurisprudence, and of legislation.
But, fellow citizens, what has not this rapacious nation discarded in the effervescence of her political delirium? The sacred laws which govern the civilized empires of the earth—those laws, without which piracy and aggression would have grown into system, and impeded the progress of human happiness, have been designated by the administration of France, as the musty records of anti-republican principles; and the mouldering monument of tyrannical policy. The genius of Vattel and of Grotius, those luminaries of jurisprudence, have been set at de-
fiance by the innovating systems of the French nation, and eclipsed by the splendor of national success. Power has superceded the propriety of political compact, and rendered nugatory those venerable maxims of policy which time, experience & necessity had given celebrity to. What heterogeneous and unjust claims may not the nations of the globe expect to be made from France—What obligations may they not expect to be broken—What systems of policy may they not calculate being insisted on and enforced? The commencement of injustice in the affairs of nations, does not often become an atipode to the sequel of their operations. The same principle of abandoned degeneracy, which is born with a political establishment, pursues it throughout its various evolutions & makes a prominent feature in its dispensations. Great power, extensive territorial acquisitions & a novelgrown opulence of fund, have, prior to the existence of the French republic, enabled Rome to give laws to the world, and Greece to dictate the destiny of nations. Similar principles will give origin to similar movements in the affairs of modern nations, and time will bring about a conviction that science and knowledge, unaccompanied by virtue, will no more ensnare the world against the aggressions of regenerated France, than it experienced in former days, beneath the hand of Gothic barbarity and ignorance.—That I may be mistaken in this calculation—that France may become the instrument of political regeneration, & not of political slavery and oppression, are sentiments, the reverie of which, I am incapable of nurturing. But I will pursue this digression no further; and proceed to animadvert upon the question in point.
Some politicians of little judgment, and of as small a share of candor, have supposed the establishment of a new law of nations, by the northern powers of Europe. It is contended that a confederation which agreed to protect by force, the goods of belligerent powers, had radically changed the ancient established principle.—But can there be any thing more absurd than the presumption that these powers should so far abridge the sovereignty of other nations, as to fix a rule by which they must of necessity be regulated? If a confederation of states agree to be governed by certain definite principles, will it be contended, that these principles carry an obligation with them over other states, not in the confederacy which established them? What stipulations were entered into, by the Northern powers, were entirely local, and had operation only upon their own appropriate objects. The rest of the world, having no part in this confederation, having no object to accomplish, which might be dictated by ambition or private interest, can never be said to come within the restrictions which it establishes. It was not a new law of nations, therefore, which was established by the armed neutrality, but a separate and distinct jurisdiction, creating a compact whose influence was too contracted and whose powers were too limited, to be received as general rules, to govern the rest of the civilized world. America, therefore, as a neutral nation, who had chose to remain in that situation, from the present motives of good policy, can never be criminated for not conforming to a law which she had no hand in making. Had she have submitted to it, in the protection of French goods in her vessels, it would have been a submission, which may have been approved by the lawless cabinet of France at the expence of her sovereignty, her neutrality, and her own notions
of political justice. The question, then, is decided, that no obligation, no duty, no interest whatever, bound her to protect the property of French citizens in her bottoms. France in requiring such a principle of conduct in the American Government, has exceeded the limits of justice, has evinced to the world what little regard she has paid to the law of nations, and what sophistry she has exhibited in the decision of the question. The impartiality of history, will, in future times, afford a commentary on this question, which shall redound to the credit of our country; whilst the iniquity of the French Republic, will be recorded and communicated to remote generations.

CONSTANTINOPLE, August 10. There now exists not the least doubt of the French Toulon fleet having landed in Egypt. Our government has received information of it through several different channels; but it has not yet received any circumstantial details of the military operations of Buonaparte, and the opposition made by the inhabitants. The letters and reports, which continually arrive, are too vague and contradictory to be relied upon. Some announce, the taking of the cities of Alexandria and Rosetta, with the loss of much blood, and that the Candian merchants, who were there in great numbers, were all put to the sword. Others assure, that the French are already in possession of Cairo (situated at 150 miles from Alexandria,) whilst our best informed politicians affirm that the army of Buonaparte was obliged to retreat, after a battle fought with the army of the Beys, between Cairo and Rosetta. The disagreements of all these reports is a fresh reason for placing confidence in the official advices received by the Porte from Damietta, dated July 18, which say, that the French were entrenched in the environs of Rosetta 30 miles from Alexandria in view of the army of the Beys, which was only one mile and a half from the camp.
LONDON, September 14. We now know that our fleet has been so unfortunate as not to fall in with that of the French. Admiral Nelson, after a fruitless cruise of 27 days, between Messina and Alexandria, without seeing or being able to hear of the French fleet, returned on the 19th of July, to Syracuse in Sicily. He had been joined by 5 Portuguese men of war, and the Lion, of 64 guns, making his fleet to consist in all, of 12 sail of the line and 10 frigates—a force sufficient to have done any thing with Buonaparte's fleet; but the latter has been followed on the present occasion, by his usual good fortune. Dispatches were received on Saturday evening by government which agree in the above account. They were from Sir Morton Eden, at Vienna who states that he had received letters from Sir W. Hamilton, at Naples, informing him of Sir Hor. Nelson having been at Salonica, on the 19th July, without having met with the French fleet; that the English fleet arrived at Syracuse on the 22d; and that it intended putting to sea again the 27th of the same month, to explore once more the tract of the Toulon fleet.
Copy of a letter from Nice, 4th Sept. by the second officer in the Marine department for the quarter of Ville Franche, to the inspector of the Marine at Toulon.
"I hasten to inform you, that the nephew of gen. Kilmaine, who arrived here at 5 o'clock this day, in a Felucca from Genoa, has brought intelligence, that a corvette, detached from our squadron, is arrived at Civita-Vecchia, and brought a dispatch from general Buonaparte, for the French general at Rome, the contents of which was, that, after having effected the landing of his troops at Alexandria, Buonaparte put to sea again to seek the English; that he came across them off the heights of Messina, and gained a complete victory over them. Five English ships of the line fell into the hands of the French, among which number was admiral Nelson's ship, who immediately blew out his own brains.
This same officer added that he had been sent from Rome the 29th of August to carry this interesting news to general Brune at Milan. As I was present when this report was made to the general of division, Garnier, who commands this place, I determined to transmit it to you by the quickest conveyance persuaded that you will approve of my dispatch.

PARIS, September 12. The minister of exterior relations has just received (12th September) from the French consul at Ancona, dispatches from Constantinople, which announce officially the safe arrival of Buonaparte with all his convoy at Alexandria.
PHILADELPHIA, November 1. By the Venus from Bourdeaux we have received L'Observateur , published at Paris down to the 26th Fructidor (12 September) inclusive. From the paper of the latest dates we shall select several articles to-morrow.
[So many volumes of circumstantial falsehood have been furnished by the English prints concerning Buonaparte and Nelson, and they have been so twisted and orientalised by some of our own good natured editors, that we can scarcely place any reliance on what comes through those channels. The following article, copied from a printed paper published at Bourdeaux, and the persons of several whose names are affixed which are well known to many persons in this city, will not meet with all that credit from certain readers that has already been paid to English fabrications. In point of time and range of operation, however, the affair appears not so questionable as has been supposed by some—Should there have been an actual concert between France and the Porte, and that the possession of Alexandria is for some ultimate stroke, the object of which is not yet developed, the return of gen. Buonaparte with his fleet of war is not unreasonable, and the operations in Germany might, on the other hand, render his return politic. A French paper of the 25th Fructidor (11th Sept.) says, that the fortifications at Alexandria are to be re-edified and improved and a powerful garrison constantly retained there. The return of the fleet then to France would not appear so unreasonable. The accounts of the action reached Bourdeaux about the 4th of September, which might be effected had it left Marseilles only on the 30th of August. From the republican allied ports in the Mediterranean, the passage is but a few days, sufficient to communicate an account of any action which might have taken place in those seas between the 5th and 12th of August.] (More of this anon.)
BALTIMORE, November 1. The eastern mail stage arrived yesterday about three o'clock, and brought with it Tuesdays and Wednesdays mails. We have detailed as much intelligence as was possible from the lateness of its arrival to insert in this days paper; and have carefully examined the different articles of particular note, and summarily extracted the following—There appears not the least doubt remaining, (according to the accounts from Constantinople) of Buonaparte's arrival in Egypt, but they are so contradictory that there is no certainty as to his future operations—Great fermentations existed at Constantinople, a conspiracy was discovered and crushed—the army of the captain Pacha had almost all deserted, and he had returned to Constantinople, his troops having joined Pasha Oglou—Accounts had been received at Berlin of a conspiracy in Poland—Letters received at Arau announced that the Austrians had possessed themselves of Coire, and that a battle had been fought between them and the French—By letters received at Brussels from Germany, it appears that war is looked upon as inevitable, particularly between Austria and France, and warlike preparations were continued with redoubled activity on both sides—The three French frigates under the command of Savary, which landed the French troops in Ireland, have arrived safe at Bourdeaux—A rebellion had broke out at Terracina, and the French commandant Leduc, massacred by the rebels; but a detachment of French and Poles being sent against them, the city was taken after an obstinate resistance, and all the rebels put to the sword, except a few who escaped in small vessels.
There is an arrival at New-York from Hull, but brings no intelligence of consequence.
FRANKFORT, November 22. The following Resolution passed the house of representatives yesterday.
"Resolved that a law ought to pass, for calling a convention, to take into consideration the propriety of altering, amending, or re-adopting, the present constitution, or form of government; and that the said law ought to be so framed, as to secure to the counties respectively within this commonwealth an equal number of representatives in proportion to the number of free male inhabitants above the age of twenty-one years contained in each, as near as may be."

Lexington, November 28.
Extract of a letter from a respectable gentleman in Monongahely to his friend in this town, dated November 7th, 1798.
"Pray sir do not proceed too far in your democratick warmth—the consequences may be serious—Kentucky is threatened with a spring campaign—It is reported in this country, that large sums of money have been sent to certain persons on this side, to make provisions for it—I do not believe it, but will know more before I depart."
The following is copied from "The Weekly Advertiser, of Reading, in the county of Berks," in Pennsylvania; and is published in that paper as an "Extract of a letter from a gentleman of respectability at Pittsburgh, dated September 21st, 1798," to his friend in that place.
You no doubt have heard of the commotions in Kentucky—It not, the story is this: Meetings were called in the principal towns to consider of, or rather abuse the measures of government. Seditious speeches delivered, violent resolutions entered into, and a flame every where kindled. Lexington, George Nicholas a little indolent drunken lawyer, of some talents, but no principle, loaded with British debts and an elder brother of Le bon Citoyen Nicholas , opened the business of the meeting—He spoke for hours in the most inflammatory style—denounced the president as a perjured villain, a traitor &c.—Declared it as his intention to oppose all those measures of the executive which he condemned—and not one escaped his condemnation; and swore if he could not say, read and publish as he pleased in his own house.—The government of the United States should procure him another. Mr. Murray and a Mr. M'Lean opposed him ably. The former was heard without insult, but the latter was forced to take shelter in a house from the mobility. Upwards of one thousand persons were present at the Lexington meeting. An English clergyman who came over with Presly and whose name I am not certain of, but think it is Tolman—he is the governor's secretary tho', this Nicholas, William H. Beaumont, an Englishman, with a long jaw, whom Mr. Biddle, I. Scull, & Mr. Morris, remember among the insurgents apprehended at Pittsburgh, and who now publishes a paper in Washington, Kentucky, & a Stewart a printer in Lexington, an Irishman—are the leaders, &c.
From the Pittsburgh Gazette of the 10th inst.
Poor Matt. Lyon's fate (who has changed his seat in Congress Hall, for one in Vergennes jail) ought to be a solemn lesson to Citizen Nicholas, and others, of Kentucky, and elsewhere.

A MEETING of a number of the persons proposing to institute St. Andrew's Society at Lexington , was held in consequence of advertisement, at Mr. M'Gowan's tavern, on Saturday the 17th inst. at which time the rules, after a full discussion, were unanimously agreed to. The anniversary meeting will be held at the same place on Friday the 30th inst. Such gentlemen as intend to become members will please to take notice that it has been resolved to convene on that day, exactly at 12 o'clock—dinner to be on the table at two. As there will be a good deal of business to transact, it is requested that gentlemen will be punctual in their attendance. The primary object in forming this society, is, to afford all the aid and assistance which their funds may at different times permit, to persons emigrating to this state, either from Scotland, or from any of the states of the union, who may require advice and assistance—to encourage their countrymen to such emigration, by holding out the hand of fraternity, when they may arrive as strangers in this country. It is farther provided by the rules, that the widows and children of such who fall within the description therein contained, shall share in the relief within the extent of their funds. Such being the general view on which the society is to be established, it is presumed that no farther inducements will be necessary to ensure a general and the descendants of parents, one of whom has been originally of that country, cordially to unite their endeavors to complete the foregoing intentions, and that as many as can conveniently, will attend at the ensuing anniversary.

Veer, an eminent practitioner, and late president of the medical society of the state of New-Jersey; a tended doctor William Shippen's lectures on anatomy, surgery and midwifery, in the city of Philadelphia; received a license to practice as a physician and surgeon throughout the state of New-Jersey, 12th of August, 1785, from the honorable David Brearly and Isaac Smith, two of the justices of the supreme court of the state of New-Jersey, agreeable to an act passed 25th November, 1783, by the council and general assembly of that state, for regulating the practice of physic and surgery.
Since which time, he has travelled through twenty-two different tribes of Indians, among whom he has resided nearly four years, and made it his constant study to investigate and find out the virtues of all kinds of herbs, roots, plants and simples, used by them in the curing of diseases; by which means he has made a number of valuable discoveries in the healing art, and now (with the blessing of God) cures and gives relief in most diseases incident to the human body—viz.

The many cures performed within four years past, which will fully appear (to any gentleman who will please to call upon him, being too lengthy for this paper) by papers and vouchers of cures performed, now in his hands, properly attested, and whose authenticity cannot be denied, flatters himself is sufficient to convince the public that he has been successful in curing diseases, and that this is not intended as an imposition upon mankind.

RETIREMENT.
By PHILIP FRENEAU.
A HERMIT'S house beside a stream With forests planted round, Whatever it to you may seem More real happiness I deem Than if I were a monarch crown'd.
A cottage I could call my own Remote from domes of care: A little garden, wall'd with stone, The wall with ivy overgrown, A limpid fountain near,
Would more substantial joys afford, More real bliss impart Than all the wealth that misers hoard, Than vanquish'd world, or worlds rector'd— Mere cankers of the heart!
Vain foolish man! how vast thy pride, How little can thy wants supply! Tis surely wrong to grasp so wide— We act as if we only had To triumph—not to die!
The Epitome of the Times says—The people of New England are so stren- uously desirous of putting the Sedition Bill into operation, that an honest mag- istrate in the vicinity of Quincy, has committed a man to prison for saying "John Adams was born without a shirt!!!!!"
Another man was apprehended for calling the president's dog a son of a b—h; but for want of sufficient proof was discharged!!!!!
