To the inhabitants of Kentucky.
THE distresses of our fellow men must always excite the feelings of the compassionate and humane: but there is no situation in the hu- man life, which calls so loudly for assistance, as that of the man, who finds himself in a strange country, without the necessaries of life, to support a large and helpless fami- ly. This is the case at this time with hundreds in this State.— They have nearly expended their all, in removing their families to this country this fall, and are here in the midst of strangers, without the means of purchasing even bread for their subsistence: the only pro- perty which they could dispose of, being a few poor horses, for which they cannot find purchasers, and which add to their distress, by the consumption of that food which is necessary to keep them alive. The shortness of our crop, has also made it difficult for those to purchase who have the means; and the increased price of all kinds of provisions, will prevent a great many, from procuring a sufficient quantity, as they calculated when they came to the country on being a- ble to purchase them, as cheap as they have always been bought here before this time. The distresses of these people have been increased, by their finding it impracticable to procure comfortable cabins, to put their families into, until they can provide permanent places of re- sidence. This complication of dif- ficulties, calls aloud on those who have been longer in the country, and whose situation will enable them to do it, to afford the latter- ers relief. Besides the common in- documents to acts of humanity, the old inhabitants ought to be strongly stimulated to extend their aid to these people, by a recol- lection of the sufferings which they experienced in a similar situa- tion; or the gratitude which they felt for relief extended to them at that time, and the abhorrence with which they considered the conduct of those, who refused them that relief. The situation of this coun- try is such as to make it the pecu- liar duty of its citizens, to do ev- ery thing in their power to assist e- migrants. In old countries, the number of emigrants bears so small a proportion to the old inhabi- tants, that they can always procure supplies and accomodations of ev- ery kind where they are able to pay for them: but the case is so different here, that the new comer cannot now procure either, even with his money, without some as- sistance. Public policy also re- quires that every citizen of this State, who must finally be affected by what ever shall have a tendency to increase or retard the popula- tion of the country, should do ev- ery thing in his power, to make the situation of the present emigrants, as comfortable as possible; as the not doing of it, will be a certain means of checking emigration in future. All these considerations must make it our duty, both as men and citizens, to do every thing in our power for their relief; but there is great reason to fear, that this duty has not hitherto been properly attended to; not so much from a want of the proper disposi- tion to induce us to do it, as from the want of information that it was peculiarly necessary, that it should be done at this time: and also from the want of a proper plan for the doing it with effect. Such a plan is indispensably necessary, to make the efforts of the charita- ble and the humane, have the desi- red effect. Such efforts without system, may relieve the wants of a

few, but they will leave the wants of many more without relief; and most probably of the most meritorious class of sufferers, whose modesty prevents them from discovering a distress, to which they have been heretofore strangers. The greater part of the emigrants may be divided into two classes. 1. Those who have the means of subsistence, but no place of residence: 2. Those who have neither the means of subsistence, nor places of residence. Those who compose the first class, may receive great assistance from the old inhabitants of the country, by getting information from them, of the most likely places, to procure the necessary supplies of provisions, and habitations; and by their exertions to have such places provided for them: for I believe there is scarcely a farm in the state, on which one or more cabins might not be spared, if the owners would put themselves to a small temporary inconvenience, to serve those who are now so much in need of their assistance. And in this way, great relief may be afforded this class of emigrants, without cost to any body. The second class, will require not only the same relief, but also one of a more substantial nature; but it is a pleasing reflection, that their wants are of such a nature, that there is not a man in the state, who has been here only one year, but will have it in his power, to relieve them in some degree. I would therefore propose, that there should be a committee appointed in each county, for the purpose of giving information and relief to emigrants; that this committee should appoint certain districts, within which, particular members should act; that it should be their duty within their respective districts, to find out the emigrants, and enquire into their wants; that they should solicit the inhabitants of such districts, for subscriptions of such articles, as they can best spare, and which will be adapted to the wants of the emigrants; that after having proportioned the whole quantity of the articles subscribed, among the emigrants, in proportion to their numbers and wants, that they give their orders, on the subscribers for the amount of their subscriptions: and that they endeavor to procure from those who have them to spare, the use of cabins for their temporary reception. I have been informed, that societies of this kind have been found very beneficial in some of the Atlantic States, and I am confident, that the policy and necessity of the measure, ought to operate much more powerfully here than in any state in the union. It is unnecessary to observe that if this plan should be approved of, no time ought to be lost in carrying it into execution; for the season of the year is such, that if immediate relief is not afforded, it may soon be too late to attempt to give it. It is hoped, that in so charitable & necessary a work, the old proverb, that "that which is every man's business is no man's," will not be verified; but that all who really feel for the wants and distresses of the emigrants, will exert themselves, to set on foot, and carry fully into execution, some effectual plan for their relief.
A FRIEND TO THE DISTRESSED.
LONDON, September, 3.
A postscript to an article from Basle says, "We are assured that the French government will not accept of the cessation of arms proposed by baron Hardenbergh, for the German empire. Even the emperor's ratification decree, relative to an introduction of a peace with France, is equally unsatisfactory; and since this has been known, nothing but the recommencement of hostilities is expected."
September, 5.
The whole of the Russian fleet is now cruising in the North Sea, as auxiliaries to Admiral Duncan's squadron, in case of emergency,
and to keep the cruisers of the enemy in check.
It is at length officially notified in the gazette, that actual hostilities have commenced between Great Britain and Holland. Captain Alms of the Reunion frigate, has taken a Dutch frigate of 36 guns, after a short engagement; the particulars of which capture are stated in the gazette of last night. Admiral Duncan is still on the cruise in the North Sea.
September, 6.
In a former paper we stated that a conversation had actually taken place across the channel, between Donaghadee and Portpatrick, by means of a Telegraphe . We are now enabled to state farther particulars: Two gentlemen, (Messrs. Edgworths) of the county of Longford, have been for some time past making experiments in different positions in that county, and they succeeded so well as to induce them to undertake the journey to Donaghadee, where the Channel between Britain and Ireland is the narrowest, being about eighteen Irish miles across.—they brought down their machinery with them, and having erected one on each side, they conversed with each other on Monday evening last, the weather being tolerably clear. The conversation that past was as follows: the gentlemen on this side said, "I see you, being white, distinctly." The other replied, "I see you; I wish your's was white also."—(the machine on this side being black) The gentleman on this side then asked—"What o'clock is it?" and was answered "six." He then said, "I will shew lights at nine; do you attend." He was answered, "I will attend; but I have only one light." They then made signals of good night, and the communication ended.
The machine consists of a triangle, with two long sides and a short one, suspended in the air, vertically; it turns on a pivot and is capable of being put into eight different motions, distinct from each other. These positions represent eight of the numerical figures, and these figures, according to their Position denote certain words and sentences, according to a preconceived dictionary or vocabulary, alphabetically as well as numerically arranged. We believe this machine is on a principle totally different from the French.
NEW-YORK, Nov. 11.
An article under the Osnaburg head, inserted in an Altona print August 20, says, "The French are assembling in great force in the county of Bonthien, particularly in the vicinity of Northorn on the road to Bremen and Hanover; troops are continually arriving from the army of the north and Sambre and Meuse, which had been ordered to La Vendee, but have received counter orders; the Republican Patriots, push already (August 17) within twenty-four miles of this place, their posts extend almost to the walls of the town of Blenheim, about ten miles beyond the frontiers of Holland. The preparations going on in the Hanoverian camp corroborate the report, that the Electorate is threatened with an invasion."
BALTIMORE, November 9.
It is confidentially reported in Alexandria, that his Excellency the president intends to resign the chair in March next, or at least not stand as a candidate at the ensuing election. The origin of this report it is said is a respectable and confidential friend. It is no doubt a measure of the greatest wisdom and, proves his love for his country. Having "spent all his best days, the morning of his life in her service," and laboured with unwearied solicitude to preserve her constitutional rights; having braved with undaunted courage, the swords of her enemies, having withstood the tongues of malevolence, and the pen of reputation's slanderous
assassin; it is now time that he should retire from the busy scene, and enjoy that sweet peace and content which "goodness bosom ever." His actions have heretofore been such as done honor to his head and heart; and lest the approach of age should take from the vigor of the one, or chill the sensibility of the other, this glorious resignation has been resolved on.
CARLISLE, November 17.
The Governor of Virginia has issued a Proclamation prohibiting the circulation of any petitions, or addresses among the citizens, for their signature, under pain of punishment and a penalty. Thus we see Aristocracy has effectually raised its snaky crest among us, and the people are for bid to read, judge and act on themselves they are now, in a manner, prohibited the use of their organs, and commanded to make use of those of their tyrants. This attempt on the liberties of the people, is as glaring as the attempt lately made by a party in this town and its vicinity, to overturn by petition, the late election for Sheriff, when he had a majority of four hundred votes in his favour—it is as glaring as the attempt now making on the Liberty of the Press, by some of the learned profession of this town in prosecuting the Editors for a libel professing to take the trouble and expence on themselves, if the person supposed to be injured will only lend his appearance at court. Tremble ye Aristocrats, for in time your dark proceeding will be exposed to the view of an injured public. If ye are suffered for a while to exult and triumph, it is only to make your downfall and shame more conspicuous and exemplary.
There is a report propagated here and has gained considerable credit, that the President of the United States is determined to give in his resignation of office, to Congress immediately after their meeting.
The great fall in the price of produce, wheat especially, must be a matter of surprise and concern to the farmer, and enable the labourer to come by provisions much easier than heretofore. We are informed by two gentlemen just arrived from Philadelphia, that any quantity of wheat can be bought now in that city, for ten shillings and six pence per bushel. It has been as high as twenty shillings.
FRANKFORT, December 12.
The editor is authorised to inform the public, that Don ANTONIO ARGOTE VILLALOBOS, has lately arrived in this town, and has produced to the Governor, credentials from the President of the United States, bearing date the thirty first day of January 1795 recognizing him as Consul from his Catholic majesty, for the states of Virginia and Kentucky.
Lexington, December 19.
Extract from a letter from a gentleman in England to his friend in Lexington, dated August 21. "A scarcity has been one of the ill effects of the war, in which we have been involved: so that beef steaks and veal have been in London, one shilling per pound, —lamb ten pence, and the quarter loaf thirteen, if not fourteen pence. We have now the prospect of relief from the harvest. But no events, no calamities appear to leave any deep impression. There are, indeed, frequent riots in various places; but the military interfere with their terrors. Some unfortunate male contents are killed and others apprehended; and so the matter goes off: but no evil is redressed or reform effected. Notwithstanding the defeat of the emigrants and the defection of Spain; there seems no sign of our being about to negotiate. War is the order of the day. The sever-
al dependents on the crown, hold this language, and the clergy call to arms, to arms. However the virulence of spirit is over-awed & mortified. I pass up and down without being insulted: and enter my study by candle light, without being assailed with stones."

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 11.
Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman in Philadelphia to his friend in Charlestown (S.C.) dated October 10th, 1795.
A quarrel and open breach has taken place between the President and Mr. Randolph. The breach is too wide ever to be closed.—While I was writing this letter, the latter called on me with the first proof sheet of an intended publication. When it is out I will send it you. By this quarrel much cabinet measures will be made public. The cause of the quarrel is an intercepted letter from Mr. Fauchet, the French minister, to the executive Council of France, in which report says, there is an expression conveying some idea of Mr. Randolph's having handled French money. This letter was sent by Lord Grenville to Mr. Hammond, and by him given to Mr. Wolcott, who delivered it to the President. He sent for Mr. Randolph, and in the presence of Mr. Wolcott and Mr. Pickering, treated him, as he says, so indelicately, that he instantly resigned the seal of office. Mr. Randolph avers total innocence. In the letter, I am told, Gov. M—n and Mr. D—s are implicated as having purposely promoted with Mr. Randolph, the insurrection in the five western counties of this State. I am told there is much curious matter in the letter. Mr. Z. is mentioned in it as having assured Mr. Fauchet that the Atlantic States were opposed to the opening of the Mississippi, though they may pretend otherwise. I believe this intercepted letter, and the consequence will disclose many cabinet secrets, & what may be useful, for the certain development of characters and cabinet measures.
P.S. I forgot to mention that the office of Secretary, as strong report says, has been offered, first, to Patterfon the judge, next to Chancellor Livingston, to Pickering and King who all refused it. An offer is now gone to Charlestown.
Universal Advertisement, Of the discovery of the Perpetual Motion.
FROM my application to the study of mechanism, I have discovered the Perpetual Motion. It operates by wedge, screw, lever or dead weight, from a clock to a forge, and will apply to all smooth water navigation, and even certain carriages; its powers are superior to the strength of any machine, that can be constructed by cogs and wheels—will work to the same advantage by shifting the lever, to hoist or lower weights.

Tuition of the French Language.
CITIZEN C. BARBIER,
OFFERS his thanks to those persons who have hitherto encouraged him. He solicits again their patronage; and that of the public in general, to countenance him in the new arrangements which his circumstances have required him to adopt.
On the first of January next if there should be a sufficient number of Scholars, he proposes to open two schools for teaching the French language: one a day school, the other a night school: and also to give private lessons, if required.
The day school to be three times a week, from nine o'clock in the morning till twelve—from two till four in the afternoon. A quarter's tuition one pound ten shillings.
Evening school three times a week, from five till eight o'clock. At twenty shillings per quarter.
Private lessons three times a week. At one pound ten shillings per quarter.
CITIZEN BARBIER, also proposes to teach the elements of the MATHEMATICS, particularly the branches of Trigonometry and Surveying, on the following conditions—in his public school, at one pound ten shillings per quarter. Private lessons two pounds.
Those persons desirous of learning GEOGRAPHY and the French language at the same time, and thereby accelerate the latter, will pay ten shillings per quarter in addition.
It is hoped that the scholars, or their parents will conform to the regulations which will be established for the government of his school.
Subscriptions will be left at the office of the Kentucky Gazette, where they will remain until the first of January 1796.
The terms of his former scholars shall be as heretofore. 2w Lexington, December 14.
