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 unwieldy to carry about, but also more liable to injury and therefore less durable; and as it is probable that the general laws will hereafter remain a considerable length of time with little or no alteration; it is the object of this work to remedy those evils, by furnishing them in a portable form, and of durable materials. JOHN BRADFORD.
To be Let, FOR ONE OR MORE YEARS, A VALUABLE SAW and GRIST MILL, in the county of Woodford, on Grier's creek, about half a mile above Tanner's mill, and one from the Kentucky river, a very good road leading therefrom from said mills, which are situated in an excellent neighborhood, and with a little repair are capable of doing a great deal of business. The terms may be made known by applying to Benjamin Spelling, who lives near the premises, or the subscriber about three miles from Woodford court-house. PETTON SHORT. 6w July 10, 1797.

PARIS, May 16.
On the 14th instant the Directory is said to have appointed Buonaparte (brother of the general) ambassador to Rome—and Scherer, consul general to reside at New-York. Mr Scherer is brother of the general of that name. La Fayette and his companions in misfortune, Bureau de Puzy, and Latour Maubourg, are liberated. Buonaparte did not wait for special instructions from the Directory, but demanded and obtained their enlargement, immediately after the signature of the preliminaries with the Emperor. We are assured that La Fayette is determined to repair to Paris in the character of a prisoner, and that he means to solicit a formal trial.
May 23.
Letters have been received from London of the fifteenth instant, which announce, that a new insurrection has taken place in the British fleet, commanded by Lord Cornwallis and destined for India. The admiral having given orders for sailing, the crews refused to obey—he resolved on decisive measures, and directed the mutineers to be fired on. This step, far from calming the insurrection, served only to exasperate the sailors, who soon obtained the entire command of several ships. They immediately arrested lord Cornwallis and many of the superior officers, and appointed a commission of delegates from the several ships to try them. Mean while, deputations from the fleet were sent to the other ports in England to engage all the sailors in a common cause for obtaining the justice they require of government. It is unnecessary to add, that while we give publicity to these reports, we think it prudent to suspend our belief of their entire authenticity, till further accounts are received.
DUBLIN, May 16.
Early on Sunday morning last, about two o'clock, a number of armed men, amounting to several hundreds made a hostile appearance against the inhabitants at Forkhill, near Dundalk. They were opposed by the city of Dublin militia, quartered in that part, and the yeomanry cavalry, commanded by captain Portescue. Finding it was not easy to bring to a close engagement, from the situation they had taken, the yeomanry and militia made a feint attack upon these people, and afterwards a retreat, which drew the latter after them, and having brought them to a spot from which they could not so readily escape, the cavalry wheeled about, only about 24 in number, (the Dublin militia opening right and left to let them pass) fell upon them with great fury, killed about 25, and took several prisoners.
Yesterday accounts were received in town that a contention, serious in its consequences, occurred on Saturday last in the vicinity of Dundalk. In matters of this nature at a distance from the scene of disturbance, and with only the direction of report, we cannot be supposed very accurate. The general rumour however is, that a number of disaffected persons, assembled at a wood in the above mentioned neighbourhood, and were engaged in cutting down some of the lighter timber, for the purpose of adapting them to pikes. Information being received by certain magistrates of the district, a detachment of Welch fencibles, with some of our own militia, were ordered forth, and with promptitude obeyed. The insurgents were attacked, and twelve or fourteen are said to have been killed, with an equal number made prisoners, most of whom are grievously wounded.
On Wednesday a body of Highlanders, belonging to a Scotch fencible regiment, with some pieces of brass cannon, proceeded from the Lower Castle Yard towards the northern road, and consequently afterwards to some part of the province of Ulster; and the same day, two pieces of dismounted ordnance, carried on cars, were brought from the country to the stores, under the escort of a party of yeomanry.
Yesterday morning the Romney regiment of fencible horse, lately arrived here from England, proceeded to the camp at Lehamstown, where they are to do duty till further orders.
A gun boat, mounting an eighteen pounder on its prow, is fitted out with every suitable apparel, and rides afloat in the outer basin of the Grand Canal near the draw bridge, at the Low Ground.
May 18.
On Tuesday last, the 16th, a most awful spectacle took place at the camp at Blaris Warren; four privates of the Monaghan militia, in pursuance of the sentence of a court martial, were shot. These men had been seduced from their allegiance by the United Irishmen; they had engaged to desert from their officers, and had received commissions to act in a rebel corps. The whole of the execution was conducted with the greatest solemnity: the procession of the troops from Belfast was marked by its regularity and silence. On the ground were drawn up a detachment of the 22d dragoons, a detachment of the Royal Irish artillery, the 64th regiment, the 3d battalion of light infantry, the Monaghan and Carlow regiments of militia, the the Breadalbane and Argyle fencibles. After the execution, the troops marched in ordinary time by the bodies, while conveying to the church-yard, and the ceremony closed by leaving the strongest symptoms of impression on all the spectators.
VIENNA, May 3.
A supplement to the Court Gazette of the 30th of April, contains the following:
"We can now with certainty communicate to the public the agreeable news, that the French armies under the command of the French general in chief, Buonaparte, are employed in conformity to the Convention entered into with them, in evacuating the country of Inner Austria, and that this district, as well as the territory near the sea, will soon be freed from the burden of a foreign army. The Austrian armies in Salzburg, and the vicinity of Vienna, will in consequence advance to be there ready for an emergency."
"It is to be lamented that during the time which was necessary for conveying the intelligence of the concluding and signing of the preliminaries of peace to the armies on the Rhine, several severe and bloody battles were fought, in which a considerable number of brave men on both sides lost their lives. (Here follows the account of the passage of the French over the Upper and Lower Rhine.)"
"Every measure was taken on the Upper Rhine to wrest from the enemy, by the gaining of a battle, the advantages they had acquired by passing the Rhine, which could not easily be prevented, considering their extensive line; and the same vigilance will be employed so long as the smallest doubt shall remain of the certainty of peace; and should unfortunately the hope we entertain of that event be frustrated, we flatter ourselves we shall be found well provided, as the Archduke Charles has now returned to the army on the Rhine."
As soon as the news of the signing of preliminaries reached the army on the Upper Rhine (says the Court Gazette of this day) the generals, on both sides, immediately proceeded to settle the lines, within which the troops should continue to wait the issue of events.
The French, in the passage of the Rhine, lost from 3 to 4000 men, and had 22 pieces of cannon dismounted.
CHARLESTON, (S. C.) June 23.
The citizen Le Conte, an officer of the marine of the French Republic, arrived a few days since in this city, from Porto Rico, and informs, that he saw at St. Martin's about six weeks ago, a vessel belonging to the French Republic, furnished with passports from all the powers of Europe, destined to make a voyage round the world; she had on board a number of scientific gentlemen—several of these, the citizen Le Conte conversed with.
NEW-YORK, July 16.
Seven o'clock, A. M.
Eager to serve the public and ourselves in the obtainments of news, we last night at ten o'clock, dispatched a boat to the narrows where we found the ship Triumph, Captain Hazard, in 42 days from Liverpool. Having obtained the following very important advices, we hasten to lay it before our readers.
THE PRINCIPLE EVENTS ARE
That an actual insurrection has taken place in Ireland, which has assumed the most alarming appearance—that in Belfast one of the largest churches has been demolished and a number of priests and others put to death—that
there has lately been 10,000 troops principally cavalry, sent from England to aid their government.
That at Brest there were 60,000 French troops embarking, which, it was supposed were to invade Ireland or England.
That every tenth man in England has been drafted, and were training for service—and that every pleasure horse above fourteen hands high, is taxed one guinea; and out of the whole of this description, every ten proprietors of these horses are obliged to furnish for service, one horse and a man for the cavalry; which are to be commanded by a gentleman of their neighbourhood.
That men were and had been for some time at work night and day at Plymouth Dock Yard, building flat-bottomed boats for the transportation of troops in case of an invasion which was expected—that the gentlemen of the different towns of England were training for service at their own expence.
That there had been many counter-petitions from various towns, for continuing Mr. Pitt in office.
That there has been new disturbances on board the English fleet at different places—the requests of the sailors not having been fully complied with, delegates were sent from the different ships on board of Admiral Gardner's ship, who refused to receive them, told them they were a parcel of sculking rascals, and were afraid to meet their enemy,—they insisted on coming on board, when the Admiral ordered the marines to fire on them—they returned the fire and a number were killed on both sides, among whom was a lieutenant of the Admiral's ship—they took Gardner prisoner, and had appointed a day to hang him, but thro' the influence of Lords Howe and Spencer and their demands complied with Gardner was released and tranquility restored—That the fleet, except one ship (the Minotaur, of 74 guns) had dropped down to St. Helens.
That there had been a late mutiny on board the Plymouth fleet, but no serious disturbance took place—They chose delegates, who fitted up a small vessel and went to Portsmouth to consult with the delegates of Lord Bridport's fleet, and agreed to the measures they had adopted. Through the whole of this business, they conducted themselves with great loyalty, and said if they were sure of the enemy's being at sea, they would sail at an hour's notice.
These are the most prominent events, as stated by the Captain and a Mr. Langworthy, a gentleman passenger, who had lately travelled in many parts of England, and was a witness to part of the above, and read the particulars of the whole in London and Liverpool papers which he unfortunately left behind.
July 18.
LATEST FROM FRANCE.
Last evening arrived at this port ship Franklin, Captain Dodge in 40 days from Bourdeaux, and ship commerce, in 46 days from Havre de Grace.
By accounts it would seem that France wishes to be on good terms with this country,—vide the following letters.
Extract of a letter from an American Gentleman at Bourdeaux, dated May 24.
"As to danger of war between this country and ours, I am under no apprehensions.—Sending in American vessels on frivolous pretences has become very unpopular, in so much that the tribunals themselves have remonstrated against it, and several vessels of late have been set at liberty. Peace with England is much spoken of, as likely to take place."
Extract of another letter from the same port, dated May 28
"The change that has taken place in the Directory is thought to operate very favorably to America. Gen. Pichegru is elected President. The Jacobin party, which has been our greatest enemy, are rather loosing their influence in the administration. Two or three American vessels have lately been released at some of the channel ports, and the captors made to pay damages, which it is not will rather deter the privateers from sending them in on such frivolous pretences as they have before done."
Thus it is rendered more and more evident, that it is our country, through the baneful influence of the
British Administration, that would widen the unhappy breach which the same influence commenced in 1794
Accounts further state, that a consul general is named to come out to America, and that a mutiny had taken place on board some British men of war in the East Indies.
Capt. Dodge came through the homeward bound British Jamaica fleet of 80 odd, sail, one of whose frigates took from him his latest papers.
PORTSMOUTH, (N. H.) July 1.
Frigate of the United States!
On Thursday last, a beautiful copper-bottomed frigate, pierced for 36 guns, was launched from the navy yard, into her destined element. Said frigate was built by colonel James Hackett on contract with the United States; and is supposed to be designed as a present for, or in part payment of treaty stipulations, with the Dey of Algiers. The timber and plank were well seasoned, and of the best quality that could be procured in the eastern states. The workmanship is allowed by good judges, to have been executed in a masterly and superior style. Captain Thomas Thompson of Portsmouth, superintendent for building and equipping the frigate for sea, agreeable to his directions from the secretary of war, has been extremely particular in his attention to the materials and workmanship, both of which were certainly of the first quality and manner: and prove this gentleman's capacity and talents to execute so valuable a trust, as giving celebrity to American artificers in the most distant regions. Josiah Fox, of Philadelphia, navy constructor, draughted and moulded the frigate, which we trust will long remain, as one of the many monuments of his professional abilities. The frigate was raised the 20th of October, but nothing material was effected, until the first of February, since which the building has rapidly progressed, and notwithstanding the wetness of the season, Mr. Hackett launched her several days before his contract expired. This makes the 4th ship of war that he has built & launched for the United States, and we are in hopes that a 5th will be added, whose keel is already laid. Colonel Hackett is a faithful, honest servant to the public, and merits their attention, as truly deserving of his employers.
What is a little remarkable in the expedition used with the Algerine frigate, the lion head, and flannel for the purpose of putting under the copper sheathing, was all in Philadelphia eighteen days ago, yet she was completely sheathed, and the head set prior to her being launched.
Notice
THAT agreeable to an act of the general assembly, "entitled an act, to ascertain the boundaries of land and for other purposes," and by virtue of an order of the county court of Harrison, that one or both of us the subscribers, shall proceed on the 28th of this inst. with the commissioners, appointed by that court, to take the depositions of sundry witnesses, to establish the beginning of an entry of two thousand acres of land, entered in the name of James Blane, lying on the waters of the south fork of Licking, about three miles northeast of where Saml. Dennis's land should have been surveyed—the said commissioners and witnesses will meet at the house of Mr. Samuel Jamieson, in the town of Cynthia, and proceed from thence to the mouth of Gray's run, from thence to an improvement on which Samuel Dennis's pre-emption was located, and from thence to the beginning corner of said Blane's survey, to perpetuate testimony as to the beginning of said claim, and do such other and further acts as may be deemed agreeable to law.

LEXINGTON:
Wednesday, August 9, 1797.
Such is the savage tyranny of Britain over Ireland, that a very great part of its poorer inhabitants are under the necessity of living in huts made of sticks and mud, and frequently built over a dry ditch, the receptacles of every species of poverty and misery. The well known Arthur O'Conner called some time ago at one of these huts inhabited by a ditcher and a large family. After some previous conversation, O'Conner asked the master of the family, Paddy O'Rourke: "How the the devil do you make out to live here, Mr. O'Rourke?"—"I cannot well answer your honor that question (said Paddy) but I can very easily tell you how we make out to starve."
[From a London paper of May 7]
A very melancholy affair has lately taken place in Smyrna. The circumstances are briefly these:—a party of strolling German rope-dancers had arrived; and were exhibiting their feats on the tight rope to a numerous audience. As is the custom in that place, four janissaries were placed as centinels at the door of the theatre, to preserve the peace; and, after the performances had commenced, a number of Smyrnians entered the doors, one of them insulted the janissaries, who resented his conduct. A scuffle ensued, which terminated in the death of one of the janissaries, who was shot by a Selavonian. An enquiry was instantly set on foot, and a demand sent to the theatre to give up the assassin; he however, from the fidelity of his comrades, could not be discovered. Time was allowed for the discovery, but to no effect, and it was at length determined to destroy the theatre, unless he was given up. They still persisted in their silence, which induced the janissaries to set fire to the theatre, and it was completely destroyed. The Turks proceeded to set fire to all the English and other Christian factories, destroyed property to the amount of nearly 100,000l. killed between twelve and thirteen hundred people, and were proceeding to destroy all the Christians in that place.
The new congress, for the termination of the war and the adjustment of the claims of the different powers, it appears is to be held at Basle, in Switzerland.
The Stadtholder in the latest accounts is on the point of leaving England to attend to the affairs which were about to become the subject of discussion in that congress.
Acts passed at the first session of the fifth congress of the United States, begun and held at the city of Philadelphia, on the 15th of May, 1797.

PARODY on CATO's SOLILOQUY.
Miss Foresight solus, with a letter in her hand.
In must be so—my friend, thou reason'st well! Eft wence this pleasing hope, this fond desire— This longing for the happy wedding day? Or whence this secret pining, and the fear Of dying an Old Maid?—Why turns my ear As if alarm'd, while pleas'd to hear of marriage? 'Tis but timidity that fills within me; For heav'n itself declares we ought to marry, And promises much happiness shall follow. Much happiness! thou pleasing, anxious thought! Thro' what variety of untrod windings, Thro' what rough scenes would I not pass to find thee! The field of Matrimony lies before me— And settle'd sunshine seems to rest upon it. Where will I hold, if I have e'er a lover, (And that I have, my neighbors all can witness Throughout the place) he must delight in wedlock; And that which he esteems must make me happy. But where! or how! this town delights in scandal. I'm weary of contriving: thus 'tis ended; Thus am I twice secure; my keys—a marriage—Two methods of concealment are in view; These will secure me from the gaping crowd; Or that will quickly waste us to the country. The wife, secure in her husband, smiles At old maids' jeers, and laughs at all their envy, For they will fade away and lose their charms, Grow gray with age and never get them husbands; But we shall live to crown each others wishes, Unchang'd amidst the various scenes of life, The smiles of Fortune or her darkest frowns.
THE LAWYER'S PATRON.
(A curious Anecdote.)
ST. EVONA, a lawyer of Britain, went to Rome to entreat the Pope to give the lawyers of that country a patron, to which he replied, that he knew of no saint but what was disposed of to other professions. At this Evona was very sad, and earnestly begged the Pope to think of them. At last his holiness proposed to St. Evona, that he should go round the church of San Giovanni di Laterano blindfold, and after he should have said a certain number of Ave Marias, the first saint he should lay hold of, should be his patron. This the good old lawyer willingly undertook, and at the end of his Ave Marias stopped at St. Michael's altar, where he laid hold of the Devil under St. Michael's feet, and cried out, "This is our Saint, let him be our Patron!" Being unblinded, and seeing what a patron he had chosen, he went to his lodgings so dejected that in a few months after he died. His reputation for honesty was however so great, that a witty Frenchman wrote upon his tomb at Rome, "St. Evona un Breton avocat non laron halleluia."—Here lies St. Evona, an Englishman, who was a lawyer and no rogue:—Praise God for it.

In the latter end of the year 1795, a certain William Owens, of Scott county, took up a dark roan mare, about five years old; and a strawberry roan stud colt, neither of which was branded, or any other visible mark.

In the latter part of the year '96, said Owens traded the colt to John McCarty, previous to which he branded it thus J.
