TWO LIKELY NEGRO MEN RUN AWAY FROM THE SUB- SCRIBER, Living in Mecklenberg county, Vir- ginia:—
ONE of them named PETER , went off about five years ago; he is very black, tall and slim, and had many scars on his back, occa- sioned by whipping for running away before I had him—he could work a little at the shoe, basket, and collar-making business: has very crooked shins, and if alive is now about 35 years old. The o- ther went off the 14th of Decem- ber last, and took with him my horse, saddle, bridle and great coat—he is of a yellow complexi- on, middle sized, has a limp in his gait and walks with his toes turn- ed inward—he has been my miller for several years, is very sensible and pollavering, and can read tol- erably well—he was born near Williamsburg, and it is expected, he will make his way thither, or further to the northward, or, pro- bably, over the mountains to the westward—his name is DAVY , but it is expected he will change it to BOB , or to MICAJAH FENDLY , having as some suppose, stolen said Fendly's freedom pass, which is re- corded in Mecklenburg county court.
The horse he took is a likely bay, about four feet eleven inches high, about nine years old, has the mark of some galls on his should- ers, steps very stately, holds his head high, especially when out of the bridle, his mane hangs on the wrong side. The saddle is coun- try made and much worn. An old half-curb bridle. The great coat of drab colour, good cloth, with an old fashioned cape and a rent on the right side. He had on a good black velvet waistcoat and breeches, and other clothes of good Virginia cloth.
Whoever secures the above des- cribed men and goods or either of them, so that I get them again, shall receive a liberal reward. Henry Speed.
Mecklenburg county, Virginia, 15th January 1795.

HARLEM, February 14. The following is the new form of prayer used in the Assembly of Holland.
"Benevolent Father of all creatures! Since the confidence which our fellow citizens have reposed in us, has assembled us here, for the re-establishment of the eternal rights of man, which cannot be infringed without a presumptuous offence against thy will, we humbly entreat that thou wouldst so enlighten our understanding, that, faithful to our duty, and condemning every selfish and private interest, we may take such measures as shall in an effectual manner promote and secure the general happiness of the people. Amen."
VIENNA, February 13. Accounts have been received from Milan that the French are greatly increasing in numbers in Italy, and are very often in motion. Orders have therefore been given by our Ministry, to thirteen Battalions in Poland to break up, and we understand they are already on their march for Italy.
Count Clairfayt has orders to retreat with his army towards Frankfort. Orders have been issued to stop all payment from our territories to Holland, at least as long as that country shall remain in the hands of the French.
The Emperor has in his own hand willed requested the Count Clairfayt, to take again the command of the army which he had hitherto only reigned provisionally. There is a rumour that his Imperial Majesty will assist in person at the opening of next campaign.
It is said if the troubles continue in Italy, that his holiness the Pope intends to pay a visit to our capital.
The Gazette of the day contains the plan of the new loan for six millions for the Emperor, by means of a lottery. The drawing is fixed for the year 1807.
BRESLAU, February 11. Private letters from Warsaw, mention, that the fate of the unfortunat Polish State prisoners there has at last been decided. Count Potocky, Messrs. Mostowski and Niemcewicz are to be transported to Siberia for life. The latter was secretary to Kosciuszko. But Kosciuszko himself will be imprisoned for life in a fortress with the permission to receive visits. Zakrewsky and prince Sanguszko are under arrest upon their estates with orders not to quit them for life.
AMSTERDAM, February 17. In most of the towns of Holland, the Dutch soldiers are doing service jointly with the French soldiers, but they are obliged previously to take an oath they will do every thing required for the good of the Republic of France.
The Military Committee at the Hague, has requested our Municipality to take measures for the purpose of quartering 7200 men in the neighbourhood, and at Amsterdam.
On a proposition from a Revolutionary Committee, our Municipality is come to a resolution to abolish all insignificant inequality, and even to abolish the livery worn by the servants.
Citizen Hanson has offered himself to assist in effecting a revolution in the island of Curacoa, and was for this purpose sent to our Committee.
A division of ships has been ordered to be sent to the Cape of Hope for corn.
It is certain that the French troops which are at present in Holland, amount to 87,000 men; 50,000 more are expected from Belgium.
Deputies from our municipality,
have on the tenth, passed in review the Dutch troops in garrison here, amounting to 2300 men. All the other Municipalities have received orders to review the troops in their towns, and to give in a list of their numbers.
PHILADELPHIA, May 2. Letter from Mr. Pickering, Secretary of War, of the United States, to the Governor of the State of Georgia.
War Department, March 20, 1795. SIR,
I AM directed by the President of the United States, to inform your excellency, that on the 2d instant he received from James Gunn, esquire, one of the Senators, and Thomas P. Carnes, esquire, one of the representatives in Congress from the State of Georgia, a letter, requesting that a treaty might be held with the Indians, claiming the right of soil in certain lands lying beyond the temporary boundary of Georgia, for the purpose of extinguishing their claim to them. This request demanded, and has received much consideration. The crisis at which it has been made, has occasioned no small embarrassment to the executive of the United States. The Creeks have been with difficulty restrained from open war; any movement which may hazard that event must be cautiously made; and it is well known, that no measures excite so much jealousy among them, as those which affect their lands, unless they are previously disposed to grant them. How far this may be the case is unknown; and as Congress, although duly informed of the situation of the southern and south-western frontiers have provided in the act of appropriation merely for their defensive protection, it behoves the executive to observe great delicacy in the management of Indian affairs. Many enquiries and arrangements must precede the treaty required; and as time is requisite for these, no definite answer can at present be given.
The acts of the legislature of Georgia, one passed on the 28th of December, the other on the 7th of January last, for appropriating and selling Indian land, were laid before Congress. The deliberations of the two houses issued in a concurrent resolution for directing the attorney-general to investigate the title of the State of Georgia, to the lands sold to the several companies, by the act of the 7th of January. A copy of this resolution I have the honor to enclose.
The request before mentioned, embraces an important object. The facts here detailed show some of the difficulties in which it is involved; the connection between the two acts is not the least. The President, therefore, while he is solicitous to gratify the wishes of the people of Georgia, so far as may consist with his public duty, thinks it necessary to avoid a hasty decision on the subject with which so many weighty considerations are combined. A postponement is the more necessary, because it is deemed proper that the commissioners for holding such a treaty as that which is requested, should be appointed with the advice and consent of the Senate; and under the pressure of the legislative business at the close of a session it was not practicable to attend to this matter before the adjournment of Congress. The Senate will assemble on the 8th of June, on executive business; in the interim, the President will be able further to examine the question of the treaty in all its relations.
I have the honor to be, with great respect your excellency's obedient servant.
TIMOTHY PICKERING. A true copy from the original file in the executive.
L. WATERS, S. E. D.
IN the late sittings of the National Convention of France, the following report from the Committee of Public instruction, relative to the precautions to be taken against the bite of a mad dog, was presented, and ordered to be inserted in the bulletin.
1. The characteristic sign of this madness is, the horror of water. 2. The animal affected with more or less slavers and foams. 3. This slaver is virulent, and being introduced into the body by a bite inoculates the malady.
Let the wound and the surrounding parts be first washed with lukewarm water, to take off the slaver as much as possible.
Let the wounded flesh be then instantly cut out with a sharp instrument, or cauterized with a hot iron, or with spirit of nitre, or vitriol, commonly known by the name of aqua-fortis, and oil of vitriol.
Let no false pity intimidate or stop the operator; let him consider that he is saving the patient from a dreadful malady, and a most certain death.
Suppuration will be accelerated, and pain alleviated, by filling and covering the wound with a cataplasm of bread and milk, applied lukewarm, and renewed every four hours.
Let the surrounding parts be then rubbed with strong mercurial ointment, in proportion to the strength of the patient and greatness of the danger. If the danger is imminent, and the bites numerous, salivation must be excited, as quickly as possible. Half an ounce, an ounce, and even more of mercurial ointment, containing one third of mercury, may be employed. This vigorous method has been known to recover persons in whom the malady had already appeared. It is also necessary in this extremity, to cut away, burn, or cauterize the flesh round the wound, even though it should appear to be healed up. It is certain that the wound opens when hydrophobia makes its appearance.
Lexington, June 6. Extract of a letter from Col. Ruffel to a gentleman in this town, dated Block-house, Big Sandy, May 18, 1795.
"I have just time to tell you, that a circuitous route has at length brought us to this place—Maj. Hood who will bring this into Kentucky, has viewed the road from Clarke county to the great Paint Lick, where I first fell in with him, I have viewed the ground from this place to the rich lands on Clinch, and flatter myself I shall be able to find ground sufficient to take the road on, from the rich lands on Clinch to this place. The road through, will take more labor than was expected, to finish it agreeable to contract—think it will measure one hundred and fifty or sixty miles through; should that be the case, it will then save at least one half of the distance of the old road, which will be an object."
INDIAN NEWS!
By a gentleman from the mouth of Kentucky we are informed, that on Friday the 18th ult. the Indians took 2 boys prisoners in the neighbourhood of that place.
On the 29th ult a party in which was a woman and three children, going from the Crab Orchard to the stations in the Wilderness, were fired on by the Indians on the waters of Rock-Castle—a man and one of the children were killed, and the woman missing, supposed to be taken prisoner. This is the only damage done by Indians in the Wilderness this season, except stealing horses.
Capt. Collins who commands the station on Richland creek, informs, that between the 1st and 10th of April, a party of Indians stole hor-
ses from his station, and left a book (Hervey's Meditations) in which Joshua Ewing's name was wrote in several places.
Capt. Collins has also favored us with the number of emigrants to this country through the Wilderness, between the 1st day of January and the last day of May:—
January - - 72 February - - 88 March - - 365 April - - 1218 May - - 717

Edwards Esq. lately Senator in the legislature of the United States; and had rendered that alliance highly honorable and happy to himself, and equally so to the respectable family with which he had become connected!

PUBLIC NOTICE,
THAT on the 11th day of August 1783, I, in partnership with ROBERT JOHNSON, located the quantity of ten thousand six hundred sixty-two and an half acres of land in the county of Mason on the waters of Ohio, Beginning at a creek about one mile from the mouth, where said creek is eight or ten yards wide at the mouth, being the first creek of that size below a tree on the bank of Ohio marked 18 and 11, and 1733, thence No. 60 E. 400 poles, and from the beginning North 60 West 120 poles, thence to extend southerly at right angles for quantity. Which said creek is Lawrence's creek emptying in about six miles below the mouth of Limestone. And whereas, on the 27th of January 1789, I caused a survey to be made on said entry, and have since obtained a patent therefor, and have purchased of said John on his proportion thereof; and whereas, the testimony respecting the said marked tree, (and the lines) depend on persons now living—in order to perpetuate their testimony, I procured from the county court of Mason at their last term, an order appointing commissioners to examine and take the depositions of such persons as I might judge proper by virtue of an act of the last session of assembly, entitled "An act to ascertain the boundaries of lands and for other purposes."—All whom it may concern are therefore desired to
TAKE NOTICE,
that on the second Tuesday in August next, I shall attend with the commissioners, aforesaid and sundry witnesses at the said tree marked as aforesaid, being the place called for in my said entry, when and where I shall take the depositions of said witnesses in order to establish the same, and do such further acts therein as shall be necessary, and as the said law directs.

A Mulatto Man Slave,
About eighteen years old, named JAMES, and sometimes calls himself JAMES MEALS, has a comely countenance, a soft voice and speaks fluently, a very sensible fellow and can read and write; he is about five feet eight or nine inches high, well proportioned, & when he walks or stands his toes turn out. He carried with him as well as I can ascertain, the following clothes: one short jacket and breeches of fulled linsey, dyed brown, pretty much worn, two coarse shirts, two or three white shirts, two of which are ruffled at the bosom, one blue cloth coat, one pair jeans breeches of an olive colour, one pair of white yarn stockings, one pair of old buck-skin overalls, one pair of shoes, and one pair of new deer-skin moccasins; he has taken other clothes that I cannot describe. James is fond of playing on the fiddle, and generally when playing inclines his head to one side. His transgressions had caused him a severe whipping ten days preceding his elopement, the scars of which will be evident upon examination; it is probable a small fore or scar may be discovered on the point of his left elbow, as he not long since received a stroke thereon in an affray. A reward of Ten Dollars will be given for the above described slave, if secured in any jail so that I can get him; Twenty-five if taken within the state and brought to my house on North Elkhorn, in Woodford county, about four miles from Frankfort, or Fifty Dollars if taken out of the state and delivered to
Harry Innes.

Now therefore I ISAAC SHELBY, by virtue of the authority vested in me by an act passed at the last session of the General Assembly, do offer the reward of Four Hundred Dollars in addition to the sum formerly offered, to any person or persons who shall apprehend the said Thomas Kennedy and deliver him to the keeper of the Public jail in Lexington.
Given under my hand as Governor of Kentucky, this 6th day of May 1795, and in the third year of the Commonwealth.
