Eighteen ounces of bread or flour, or when neither can be obtained, of one quart of rice, or one and a half pound of sifted or boulted indian meal, one pound and a quarter of fresh beef, or one pound of salted beef, or three quarters of a pound of salted Pork, and when fresh meat is issued, salt at the rate of two quarts for every hundred rations, soap, at the rate of four pounds, and candles at the rate of a pound and a half for every hundred rations.  It is expected the proposals will also extend to the supply of rum, whiskey, or other ardent spirits at the rate of half a gill per ration, and Vinegar at the  rate of two quarts for every hundred rations. The proposals will specify the price of the several component parts of the ration, as well as those of substitutes or alternatives for parts thereof.  The rations are to be furnished in such quantities as that there shall, at all times, during the term of the proposed contracts be sufficient for the consumption of the troops at Michilimackinac; Detroit; Niagara; and Oswego; for six months in advance, and at each of the other posts on the western waters, for at least three months in advance, of good and wholesome provisions, if the same shall be required. It is also to be permitted to all and every of the commanders of fortified places, or posts, to call for at seasons when the same can be transported, or at any time in case of urgency, such supplies of like provisions in advance, as in the discretion of the commander shall be deemed proper. It is to be understood that the contractor is to be at the expense and risk of issuing the supplies to the troops, and at all losses, sustained, by the depredations of an enemy, or by means of the troops of the United States, shall be paid for at the price of the article captured or destroyed, on the deposition of two or more persons of creditable characters and the certificate of a commissioned officer, ascertaining the circumstances of the loss, and the amount of the articles, for which compensation shall be claimed.  The privilege is to be understood to be reserved to the United States of requiring, that none of the supplies which may be furnished under any of the proposed contracts shall be issued, until the supplies which have been consumed, and that a supply in advance may be always required at any of the fixed posts on the sea-board or Indian frontiers not exceeding three months.  JamtoJly JAMES M'HENRY, Secretary of War  MR. BRADFORD.  OBSERVED a piece in your paper of the third instant by James Gay, informing the public, that I had made over to him the tract of land on which I now live, as security till I should make him a title to half my settlement right which I hold him; and in consequence of that bargain, interdicts all persons from purchasing said tract or any part of it from me—but I never made any such bargain either verbally or by writing—the gentleman must have made the bargain altogether himself, as nothing of this kind ever transpired between us, therefore this is to let him know (as well as the public) that the bargain is void, for I will not stand to it until he makes considerable alterations.

Philemon Thomas. April 11 1800.  PARIS, December 15.  General KILMAINE is dead. The new constitution was published yesterday at Paris, with much pomp.  December 16.  This day all the Troops composing the 17th division assembled in the camp of Mars to take the oath of the new constitution.  December 18.  The constitution does not prevent the First Consul from taking the command of the armies. Thus it is said that if Buonaparte does not this winter induce Austria to make peace, his intention is in the spring to put himself at the head of the armies to sign a peace in the heart of Germany.  The American ambassadors who have been appointed to negotiate with France, have just arrived at Lisbon, from whence they will proceed to Paris.  The Registers of acceptance and non-acceptance are opened at Paris. The influence is prodigious, and the whole of the votes almost are in favor of the new constitution,  December 20.  It appears from the speeches of the king of Prussia to Duroc, as well as from different reports from Constantinople, that the Porte has altogether given up Egypt.  The Helvetic government is about to experience a change necessary to disappoint projects unfavorable to the independence and unity of the Republic.  Three hundred and twenty members of the council of Five Hundred have accepted and signed the new constitution; which considering the number of deputies excluded, and those on mission, make upwards of seven eights of what remain.  It is believed that the members of the Conservative Senate hitherto elected are thirty.  For news, &c. see Supplement.  See Supplement

KENTUCKY GAZETTE EXTRA.
THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 1800.
NORFOLK, March 13.
We learn that the frigate insurgent has arrived in Hampton Roads, bound up the bay. She is last from Jamaica, and it is said brings half a million of dollars for merchants and others in this country.
PHILADELPHIA, March 28.
Information is received in town from Curracoa stating, on the authority of a vessel arrived there from Lisbon, that the frigate United States, Commodore Barry, having the Commissioners on board, had proceeded from thence to some port in France; the Secretaries of the embassy having previously departed from Lisbon to Paris.
The letter from Curracoa is said to be from the American consul at that port.
The United States ship Portsmouth, Captain M'Neal, now lying at New-York, and which some days since received orders to make preparations for sea, we are informed is to proceed immediately to France with dispatches from government. We are left to conjecture the nature of these dispatches—but we are inclined to believe our commissioners are to receive new instructions.
From the assiduity of the officers and seamen belonging to this ship, there is a prospect of her being ready for sea in the course of this week—No time is lost—even the two last Sundays have exhibited a scene of uncommon industry on board her. Sunday they were taking in her guns, and shipping a new rudder.
THE SENATE—THIS DAY,
Agreed to the resolutions adopted by the House of Representatives: The 1st for presenting captain Truxton with a golden medal, emblematical of his late gallant action—the 2d expressive of national regret for the untimely death of the brave young midshipman James Jarvis.
The Committee of Privileges reported two resolutions, the first declaring that as William Duane, in contempt of the Senate, has refused to attend at their bar, pursuant to notification, the serjeant at arms be empowered by a warrant signed by the Vice-President, to take the body of the said Duane in custody, and him safe to keep for the further order of the senate—The second contained the form of warrant to be issued by the Vice-President.
The question on the first resolution was
decided in the affirmative—yeas 16, nays 11.
Mr. Mason objected to the form of the warrant, on account of its requiring all marshalls, deputy marshalls, civil, of the United States, and all other persons, to be aiding and assisting in the said seizure. The question thereon was not taken when this paper was put to press.
Lexington, April 17.
We received no news of importance by last evening's mail—The following is selected as the most prominent:
LONDON, January 9.
Paris papers to the 6th inst. we received yesterday.—The brief statements contains accounts of a perfect reconciliation between Russia and Austria—Plans for the vigorous prosecution of the war, on the part of the allies—The appointment of Bournonville as French minister to the court of Berlin—The installation of the legislative body and tribunate—Accounts of their first sittings—Honors ordered by Buonaparte to the memory of the late Pope—Measures to reconcile the priests to the new government—The recal of thirty Journalists who had been ordered to be transported—The arrival of Barthelémy in Paris—New revolution in Switzerland, in favor of Buonaparte—Abject vindication of the conduct of the Senate of Hamburgh with regard to the surrender of Napper Tandy and his associates—Angry retort of Buonaparte on this occasion, &c.
January 11.
Conscious of the impending danger, the bold usurper of the throne of France omits no exertion to consolidate his own power, and rouse the vast force of that great nation, and if possible, dissipate the storm that lowers so inauspiciously. Had the belligerent powers been disposed to catch at the line of negotiation which he, whether confidently or not, thought proper to hold out to them, there can be little doubt but his own personal pride and the eventual interest of France would induce them to insist upon retaining Egypt, which is now likely to come once more under the dominion of the Mahometan Crescent.—What confirms this opinion, is the capture of a French corvette from Alexandria with dispatches from General Kleber to Buonaparte, and the Ex Directo-
ry representing the desperate and miserable condition of the republican army in Egypt now reduced to 7000 men and in daily apprehension of being obliged to surrender to the exasperated Musselmen who are 40,000 strong. A letter from Gen. Dugua, to the Ex Director, Barras, exhibits the gloomy portrait of their miseries; and the speedy publication of the whole correspondence by our government will carry to the Consular throne the curses deep and loud of a perishing army against its fugitive commander.
Congress of the United States.
In the SENATE yesterday.
The committee of privileges reported two resolutions, the first declaring, that as William Duane, in contempt of the Senate, has refused to attend at their bar, pursuant to notification, the serjeant at arms be empowered by a warrant, signed by the Vice President, to take the body of the said Duane into custody: and him safe to keep for the future order of the Senate: The second contained the form of the warrant to be issued by the Vice President.
The question on the first resolution was decided in the affirmative—yeas 16—nays 11.
A motion was then made to postpone the further consideration of the second resolution, which was negatived.
Mr. Mason moved to strike out the latter part of the resolution which commands all Marshalls, Constables, &c. to be aiding and assisting the said serjeant at arms in the execution of his duty.
The question upon this motion was taken by ayes & nays & negatived—ayes 10—noes 19.
Mr. Marshall then spoke against the resolution, which was carried—ayes 18—noes 11.
The following letters were read in Senate, on Wednesday last:

SIR.
I inclose you a copy of the resolution of the Senate passed yesterday, and must request you would favor me, by appearing with Mr. Cooper as my council to-morrow at twelve o'clock. You know that it was not from a conviction of their possessing constitutional authority to order my attendance, that I appeared yesterday

but from a sense of delicacy towards this branch of the legislature, which would not permit me to carry an appearance of disrespect towards them, even when they were acting under error.
I fear the resolution inclosed will prevent me from deriving all the benefit from your assistance which I had a right to expect from your acknowledged abilities, and the justice of my cause. I am, Sir, &c.

(Mr. Dallas's Answer.)
SIR,
As it is my general rule to render professional services whenever they are required I think it proper to state explicitly, the reason of a departure from that rule, in the case now depending before the Senate of the United States.
The Senate having as I understand, charged you with the publication of a libel, proceeded without hearing you, or notifying you of the charge, to decide that you were the Editor of the publication, that the publication was false, malicious, &c. and that it amounted to a breach of the legislative privileges of the body. Before, however any punishment shall be inflicted, or any sentence pronounced, the Senate has been pleased to summon you to the Bar; and, upon your application, to allow you the assistance of counsel, who may be heard in denial of any facts charged against you, or in excuse or in extenuation of your offence.
Though I mean not to question the wisdom and justice of the Senate, in any part of the proceeding, I cannot consent to act as counsel under so limited an authority:
For you will at once perceive, that it excludes any enquiry into the jurisdiction of the Senate to take cognizance of offences of the nature imputed to you, as well as any justification of the obnoxious publication, by proving the truth of the facts which it contains. As to the rest, I cannot suppose that either you, or your counsel, would find it practicable to deny the existence of any fact, which the Senate has already (doubtless upon sufficient evidence) examined and established; and the language of excuse, or extenuation, must always proceed with better grace, and more advantage from the penitent offender, than from a professional advocate.
Under these circumstances I do not think that I could render you any service by accompanying you to the bar of the Se-
nate; while I confess, that I should feel the situation degrading to the profession, as well as to myself.
I am, Sir, Your most obedient Humble servant,
A. J. DALLAS.

SIR,
I have every inclination to render service to you and to your cause, but I will not degrade myself by submitting to appear before the Senate with their gag in my mouth . The resolution you have transmitted to me, precludes all hope of my doing any good to you or the public, or any credit to myself by complying with your request.
I heard sufficient of the debate yesterday to understand (before I saw your letter) that the intent and meaning of the resolution is to preclude all argument on the jurisdiction of the Senate, and all proof that might be offered in justification of the assertions complained of. Indeed I do not much wonder at the latter preclusion; for I cannot help thinking from the evidences you stated to me, that had we been allowed to have given proof of the facts in justification the public would have been well instructed in the doctrine and practice of CAUCUSES, from the very best and most unexceptionable authority.
But to appear before a tribunal, which in a new and most important case has prejudged the material questions between you, which in the capacity of accuser has claimed a right to dictate the mode of defence to the person accused—which has forbidden us to enter upon what I cannot but regard as the unanswerable part of your vindication, and left you no grounds to take worth contending for—which, as a tribunal in this country of unknown, unprecedented, and undefined authority, will hear no objection to its jurisdiction, and admit no proof of the facts it controverts—under such circumstances to attend at the bar of that tribunal, an advocate interdicted from defence, a tame and manacled assistant, might serve indeed to excite a malignant smile among the enemies of liberty, but would certainly tend to disgrace your cause and my character.
I cannot think you will be able to procure any professional assistance on such strange and unusual terms; nor can I see of what use professional assistance could be to you, under the restrictions which the senate have thought fit to impose; nor do I see (if you appear before them unattended by legal friends) with what prudence or propriety you can reply one word to a-
ny question they may chuse to put. Where rights are undefined, and power is unlimited, where the freedom of the press is actually attacked, under whatever intention of curbing its licentiousness, the melancholy period cannot be far distant when the citizen will be converted into a SUBJECT.
I am Sir &c.
THOMAS COOPER.
To the president of the Senate
SIR,
I beg you to lay before the Senate this acknowledgment of my having received an authenticated copy of their resolutions on Monday last in my case. Copies of those resolutions I transmitted to Messrs. Dallas and Cooper, my intended counsel, soliciting their professional aid; a copy of my letter is inclosed, marked A. Their answers I have also the pleasure to inclose, marked B and C.
I find myself in consequence of these answers deprived of all professional assistance, under the restrictions which the Senate have thought fit to adopt; I therefore think myself bound by the most sacred duties to decline any further voluntary attendance upon that body, and leave them to pursue such measures in this case as in their wisdom they may deem meet.
I am Sir,
With perfect respect,
WILLIAM DUANE.

Wherefore as the said M'Connel is unable to make such title as he contracted to make, all persons are hereby forewarned from purchasing the tract of land on which said M'Connel now lives, or any part thereof.
