No. III.
To GAIUS.
THE more I reflect on the measures proposed in these papers, the more am I convinced of its importance and utility. I even persuade myself that you will view it in the same favorable light, and that you will find a great majority of the assembly on your side.
Every interested mind will see in it something to desire; every benevolent heart will feel in it something to applaud. It will doubtless stifle thousands of those seeds of litigation, but too plentifully sown through our lands; while it will facilitate the adjustment of titles; and contribute to tranquilize the minds of the people but too much disturbed by the contention, and insecurity of their present situations.
But few occurrences in the history of our land titles, have produced more uneasiness, or occasioned more altercation than the preemptions granted by the county courts. This circumstance has then become an interesting object of enquiry in this new system of adjudication. The case will, I believe, be comprised under the following heads. Taking the several acts of assembly collectively, in what cases had the county courts a right to grant preemptions? was the right of claiming preemptions confined to those who were in the service of the United States or of Virginia, or in captivity, or was the right common to all who would have been entitled had they have applied to the court of commissioners? were the county courts vested with power to grant preemptions for lands previously appropriated---or was that right confined to those places which were at the time of the grant unappropriated? Had the courts a right to grant preemptions to any other than the citizens of Virginia?
Secondly. Where a large entry covers a number of smaller entries, that are prior to the large one---and the smaller entries are surveyed contrary to location, but yet within the larger entry, and patents have issued on the erroneous surveys---shall the owner of the large entry be required to convey to each of the smaller claimants the lands respectively which their entries covered before they shall be compelled to convey to him the lands comprehended in their erroneous surveys? Or shall the owner of the large entry recover from the small owners the lands comprised in their erroneous surveys respectively; and also hold against them severally the lands which were within their entries, but not taken into their surveys? Or what other rule of decision shall take place in such case? And shall the circumstance of the owner of the large claim having the oldest patent vary the principle of decision; and on what ground shall such variation, if any, take place?
Thirdly. When an entry calls to begin on the north east, or any other corner, by certain denomination of any preceding entry or survey, which in fact hath no such corner as the one called for; shall such entry be void for uncertainty; or shall the beginning attach to the corner of the preceding entry or survey which shall be nearest the denomination called for, where there shall be any one corner nearer than any other; or what shall be the rule of construction in such case; or should there be two corners of the previous entry or survey equally near the denominated corner, shall the subsequent entry be void, for uncertainty---and if not void, upon what principle shall it take effect?
Fourthly. When an entry calls for an object described to lie, nearly a certain course from a known place, can evidence be admitted to prove the object called for in any other course than the one mentioned? And upon what principle, and to what extent can a deviation be admitted?
Fifthly. When an entry calls to begin at an object at or about a certain distance from a known place; can evidence be admitted to prove the object at any other distance than that called for; and if it can, on what principle can it take effect?
Thus have I suggested a number of cases which have occurred to me, and
which appear to involve leading principles---which if once elucidated by definitive sentences of the courts, would go far towards adjusting the titles to lands, should the assembly give countenance to the measure---their own reflection and experience will suggest from time to time the other cases proper for their interposition.

VERY IMPORTANT.
BOURDEAUX, July 11.
Paris News---Hostilities are renewed.---The Emperor wishing to get possession of the Tyrol and Istria, caused our troops to be attacked; but the enemy were repulsed. As soon as Buonaparte knew this, he expedited a courier to the Emperor, inviting him to sign the peace, projected with the Marquis de Gallo, in 24 hours, or he would enter the Austrian territory.
We are assured that Buonaparte has wrote to the Directory, that he has always been suspicious of the Emperor's armaments; that he had always kept his army upon a respectable footing; and that at the moment he signed the peace he was certain of victory, because his rear and military chest was safe. But at that moment he did not know of the two passages of the Rhine and that Landon and the Venetians incommoded his rear.
Hoche and Moreau have received orders to penetrate into Germany.
LONDON, July 17.
The negotiation at Lisle, as far as it respects G. Britain, is likely to be brought to a short issue: The French commissioners are instructed as we are well informed to make the surrender of all our conquests, and a full restitution for the ships taken and destroyed at Toulon, in kind, and not in money the sine qua non of peace with England.
July 19.
The cabinet council which was held this morning on the last dispatches received from Lord Malmesbury on Sunday last, determined by a considerable majority, On a proposition of the war rather than submit to the unreasonable demands of the French Directory. Mr. Pitt, Lord Grenville, and Mr. Dundas, were the only advocates for peace.
The parliament is expected to be prorogued to-morrow. If not, then on Friday next certain.
By the ship Factor Capt Kemp, arrived at New-York on Monday evening last, London papers are received to the 2d of August, from which the following is extracted:
August 2.
Yesterday morning the Hon. Mr. Westley Secretary of Embassy, arrived. We believe he has brought the answer of the Executive Directory to the last propositions of our court---but nothing has transpired that can be relied on, all letters and papers having been stopped at Dover. Let the state of the negotiation be at present what it may, it must be clear to every person that the issue of it will in a great measure depend on the event of the present struggle for power in France.
The dispatches state, that two bombardments had taken place: the 1st on the night of the 2d July, and the second one on that of the 5th. A desperate attempt was made by the enemy's flotilla in the first instance, to capture the thunder bomb, which was employed on this occasion; but they were completely defeated by the gallant exertions of Rear Admiral Nelson who, in his own barge attacked and made prisoner the commander of the Spanish gun-boats.
The second bombardment proved much more effectual than the first, did considerable damage to the town, and among the shipping, and was conducted with a very trifling loss on the part of the vessels employed in that service.
Admiral Duncan has been joined by the reinforcements sent him. He now blockades the Texel with 19 two decked ships.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 17.
We are happy to have it in our power, in some measure to contradict the report of the prevalence of the Yellow fever in Charleston, as taken from
the Norfolk Herald of the 8th, and published in our paper of Friday last, by the following extract of a letter, dated Aug. 21, from a gentleman in Charleston to his friend in this city:
"From the 1st of July to the 18th inst. it has rained more or less every day; in consequence of which we have had the most pleasant and healthy summer I have ever experienced here. The general health of the inhabitants, which has been astonishingly great this summer, is probably owing to the tremendous thunder and lightning, which has been frequent, and has been the cause of several melancholy deaths."
September 12.
We are informed by a gentleman who came passenger in the Factor, that just before they sailed, a vessel from Lisbon brought intelligence that earl St. Vincent had taken three Spanish ships of war, and laid Cadiz under contribution.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 15.
Extract of a letter from New-York, dated Sept. 11.
"I have London advices to July 19, in the evening---On that day, the cabinet council had determined not to accede to the French terms of peace, on account of their unreasonable demands.
"New and violent debates in the Council of Five Hundred, on account of the popular societies, which threatened tumult.
P. S. The Factor is coming up from London with probably later advices---She left London from 20th to 25th July, but we are not certain as to which day---Her passage is not known.
September 15.
Extract of a letter from New-York, dated Wednesday last, the 13th inst. "We have just received London advices to August 5---New obstacles arise to peace---no hopes of it---France in commotion---troops are marching from the Rhine towards Paris---Buonaparte has proposed marching to France---The Dutch fleet, in our last papers, is said to be out."
It will be observed, that Tallyrand Perigord is now minister for foreign affairs in the place of Charles Delacroix, who insulted Mr. Pinckney. Tallyrand has spent a year or two in the United States, and knows our policy. Our expected negotiations with France will determine whether he is a friend to the United States or not---(Minerva.)
Extract of a letter from Baltimore, Sept. 11.
"We have the Yellow Fever worse than Philadelphia: when I say here, I mean the Point---there on Wednesday 7 died; on Thursday 8, Saturday 15, and I believe about 14 in different parts of the city, who caught it at the point---I know of 2 yesterday, and of 4 who took it on Thursday by going to see the frigate launched---knowing the danger I declined being a spectator."
CHARLESTON, August 29.
There has actually been a skirmish between the American troops stationed at the Natchez, and the Spaniards; the Spaniards fired first, and it was returned by the Americans; several lives were lost: our information is that the rupture was accommodated and that the present prospect is more pacific. The Indians had been urged on likewise by the Spaniards, and one of their chiefs had requested Spanish aid.
PITTSBURG, Sept. 28.
The yellow fever rages with great violence in Philadelphia---it is not now confined to the suburbs but many have died of it in the city.---For the last 24 hours before the mail left the city, 23 persons died in the city and suburbs.
A few days ago, a white man by the name of Clerk, was killed by an Indian, on Beaver creek---the circumstances, as far as we can collect, are---that he was going into the country with two Indians who were drunk, and it is supposed a quarrel must have taken place, as Clerk was found dead under a tree with a knife sticking in his side, known to belong to one of the Indians. The Indians have been taken and are now confined in the gaol of this town.
Extract of a letter received commanding officer of Fort Fayette, from the commandant at Presqu'isle dated the 18th inst.
"Last evening ensign Callender arrived here with dispatches from the commander in chief. It appears that the inhabitants at the Natchez are in open rebellion, and have displayed the French colors---a detachment from the army are now on their way to that quarter.---A small plundering party of Indians have endeavoured to make themselves masters of Fort Recovery, they were drove out of the fort with the loss of one Indian killed and one wounded."

MOSES TUTTLE.
Thomas Quirk, on the 9th day of January 1783, entered 4000 acres of land on a treasury warrant in Jefferson county (now Shelby county) on the Ohio river, beginning just below the place where the troops under Gen. Clark encamped, the first night after passing the eighteen mile island, when going on the expedition in the year 1780, thence running up the river, and back, for quantity---which said tract of land was surveyed on the 28th day of January 1790, and has since become my property: and as the proof respecting the encampment called for in said entry, depends on living evidence, in order to perpetuate which, I have obtained an order from the county court of Shelby. All concerned are therefore desired to take notice that on the 27th day of this inst. I shall in person, or by my agent, attend on the Ohio river, at the place called for as the beginning of said entry---when and where I shall cause the depositions of sundry witnesses to be taken, in order to perpetuate the place of said encampment, and do such other acts to perpetuate the same, as may be judged proper and as the law in such cases made, will authorize.

LEXINGTON:
Saturday, October 7, 1797.
Extract of a Letter from a gentleman at Nat- chez, to his correspondent in this state, dated August 26, 1797.
"Our news here is, we have had an insurrection—we forced the governor and all the Spaniards, ten or fifteen days, during which time they suffered no little. We obtained our terms, and are now in a state of neutrality. We have our own committee to ar- range, and determine the affairs ap- pertaining to the inhabitants—And on the 2d of next month we elect a man to to lay our grievances before Congress, praying for succor and protection; as also to have a constitution formed for us, somewhat similar to some of the southern states, which will be most suitable to us in this quarter. The Spaniards will not as yet, give up the country; therefore we have gone as far, so as not to offend Congress. No- thing but the fear of offending congress saved the Spaniards in this quarter, otherwise they would all have been drove from this. Capt. Guion is not yet arrived, he is at the Chickasaw Bluffs."

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
EPIGRAM.
ON his death bed poor Simon lies, His spouse is in despair: With frequent sobs and mutual cries They both express their care. A different cause, says parson Sly, The same effect may give: Poor Simon fears that he shall die,— His Wife—that he may live.
A few Sundays ago, a clergyman preaching in the neighbourhood of Wapping, observing that the most part of his audience were in the sea-faring way, very naturally embellished his discourse with several nautical tropes and figures. Among other things, he advised them to be ever on the watch, so that on whatever rack the Devil should bear down upon them, he might be crippled in action. "Aye, master," cried a jolly son of Neptune—"but let me tell you, that will depend upon you, having the weather gauge of him."
The public, I presume, has seen a piece inserted by Benjamin S. Cox and Joseph Fenwick, in the Kentucky Gazette, with the design of injuring me, in the sale of my lands. Their publication (malicious as it is) should pass un-answered, but that I am apprehensive my silence might be construed into a confession of their charges and an acknowledgment of their claim.—Now I do assert that I never sold land to Daniel Broadhead, nor can he legally claim a foot of property under me. If he could, why do not the persons claiming under him, make it appear? I have been three years canonically in this state, and always desired that my land disputes might be terminated, as during their continuance I have been exposed to much cruel and unmerited censure. In all this time little, or nothing has been done by my opponents. Messrs. Cox and Fenwick have published that for all the lands advertised by them, a suit has been commenced in the court of Quarter Sessions for Fayette. That I deny. 'Tis true a subpoena issued against me in the Fayette District, in April last,—but 'tis equally true, that the complainants have never yet filed their bill. From those circumstances, the public, I think may form a just estimate of the validity of their title. A claim so important, if it could have been established, would not have been so long neglected; or, at least, after commencing suit, they would have pursued with more keenness if they had imagined they had any chance of success. These lands I shall continue to sell, and I trust I shall be able to remove the doubts of any person who is disposed to buy. Let Messrs. Cox and Fenwick, in future know, that I despise the hypocritical cant of their publication. After accusing me of fraudulent intentions against innocent people—they kindly say they have no intention of injuring me. Let me ask the gentlemen if they would not think such a charge injudicious? To them, indeed it might not be so—out of mock men, would feel it sensibly, and in spite of their fawning complaisance, would resent it as I do.
