The public should be cautious how they deal with a certain capt. John Martin of Lincoln county, as that man has lately taken advantage of the law in pleading the limitation act, and that only, because he has been indulged nearly three years. This I hope will be a sufficient warning to the citizens of Kentucky particularly those in business. Danville, Dec. 4, 1787. M. NAGLE.

PARIS, July 19:
The parliament of Rouen have forbidden the exportation of grain on pain of death; bread being so dear in Normandy, that if they permitted the exportation of wheat, it would be impossible for the poor to procure a sufficiency of this necessary aliment to support life.
HAGUE, July 17.
We learn, that the states of Amersfort have published a general amnesty, without exception at Wyk, but that for reasons well known, they have ordered Melis-de Neys and Vander Kemp, to be detained under a civil arrest, and until the end of the troubles.
It is astonishing, and no one can comprehend, how the party that pretends to have the most moderation, can permit the military, and the vilest of the populace, to exercise such enormous depredations and robberies, as those committed lately at Breda, and in divers other places; those who passed through that city a few days ago, report, that it might be taken rather for a place bombarded, sacked and taken by assault, than for the residence of fellow citizens, who ought to be all bound by the same interest at least, if not by the ties of fraternal love.
What is still more inconceivable is, if it was not known that all this is done to intimidate the patriots, that the city of Amersfort, actually the head quarters of the stadtholderian army, was delivered up to pillage. It is even under the eyes of the captain general that the military are guilty of these odious excesses, which the most inveterate enemy would be ashamed to imitate. A victorious enemy has been seen to raise contributions, but never to permit the plundering of a place subdued. This nevertheless, is what would have happened in Zealand, if the princess of Orange had arrived at the Hague; and besides the private indications which the province of Holland had had of it, the little town of Leerdam where the princess had resided on her quitting Schoonhoven, has confirmed by its conduct what had still remained doubtful.
UTRECHT, July 23.
The prince, in quality of admiral general, thought proper lately to order two or three officers of the marines to attack some armed vessels fitted out by the Amsterdam patriots, and even sink them; in consequence of this step, the deputies of Rotterdam have proposed to the assembly of their noble and great powers, to write to the admiralty of Holland, to prevent the ships belonging to the state from being employed by order of the admiral general, if such orders are otherwise than for the protection of commerce. This resolution passed, and it was decreed, that the officers who should obey the prince's orders, should be cashiered, and even the officers of the admiralty itself, if they did not comply with the request of the province.
The provincial court of Guelderland have published a placat, of which the following is the substance:—It enjoins, 1. That all the inhabitants of Guelderland, who have fled to Utrecht, or other places out of the province, except the environs of Amersfort and Zeist, shall return to their respective abodes under penalty of exemplary punishment, and particularly those who have gone to Utrecht, taken up arms, and are incorporated with the auxiliaries. 2. That no citizen or inhabitant shall leave the province without permission given in due form and in writing. This placat has excited the rage of the patriots, who term it the last blow given to civil liberty.
The states of Holland have sent a memorial to the king of Prussia, relative to the seizure of the princes of Orange, which is every thing but satisfactory as might be expected. It is written in an ambiguous, evasive style, which his majesty will answer by one, he will reserve.
It is said the regiment of Münster, stationed at Zeist, has deserted with the regiment of Effelen, and that a skulk is ensued, in which a considerable loss was sustained on both sides. Great exertions continue to be made from the Amersfort army.
Advices from Berlin continue to affirm, that his Prussian majesty is preparing to invade the territories of the government of the United Provinces.
L O N D O N.
July 30. The report on 'Change was, that a number of armed brothers had made a sally from the neighbourhood of Utrecht, and attacked a number of the stadtholder's party, but that the latter in the end prevailed, and took 300 prisoners. This news does not come through the foreign prints though it is mentioned in two or three private letters.
It is positively asserted, that the dispatches sent with Mr. Eden to the court of France on Saturday night, announce a positive determination on the part of this country, to assist the stadtholder at all events.
At the last cabinet council, which was held on the subject of the connections in Holland, Mr. Pitt was decidedly and violently against this country taking any part therein. His majesty, on the other hand, feels very sensibly for the degrading situation of his illustrious cousin; and indeed when it is considered that the stadtholder's unpopularity arises solely from his having deamed the Dutch fleet in the Texel whilst that of Great Britain was employed in relieving the garrison of Gibraltar, his serene highness's merits every assistance that this country can afford him! What would have been the situation of our Baltic trade and the Northern colliers, if the Dutch fleet had been permitted to trade upon our coast?
The LEXINGTON SOCIETY FOR IMPROVEMENT IN KNOWLEDGE , having appointed a committee to revise the constitution of said society; tis expected that the members will attend on the evening of the 19th inst. at Capt. Young's tavern, in order to subscribe said revision, as enable to a resolve of the society made for that purpose. N. WILSON, Sec.
Strayed from Capt. Percival Butlers, near the mouth of Hickman creek some time in October last, a bay mare, two years old past, a heavy gray mane and tail, trots natural, about thirteen and a half hands high. Who ever takes up said mare and delivers her to me at Lexington, shall have two dollars reward paid by.
