W A N T E D,
A n Apprentice to the Hatting business; enquire of the Printer, Lexington, Feb. 16, 1793.
Nil admirari prope res est una Numici. Solaque quas possit facere et servare beatum.
T HE truth of this motto is confirmed by the experience of every age and nation. For to be over-solicitous about what import us not to know, or what is above our comprehension, is not the most plain and direct road to happiness. I must confess my own experience too, to be a voucher of the truth of this maxim. For how was my mind tortured and my soul harrased by the consideration of the various carping reflections and unwarrantable or at least ungenerous cavils thrown out upon each other by my beloved fellow citizens. But the consideration that a wise man is seldom wrought up to ecstasy, or overwhelmed with terror, administered some kind of consolation to my inexperienced mind. It is a pity that this principle hath not had a more universal influence. To the want of its prevalence may justly be attributed the cause, why mankind have generally ascribed depth of wisdom to an ignorant enthusiast, true magnanimity to a mad hero, and real religion to the awful visage of assumed sanctity. Hence a Knox, a Taylor, and a Swedish hero—Hence bigotry, superstition and many other odious qualities. And hence the divine Socrates damned, because he did not enjoy the light of the Christian religion. Therefore to bridle an over-anxiety, as well as to give ease to the mind, I must ascribe the mutual chidings, scoffings and malignant hearts of my fellow citizens to Adam—to the fall—to the damnable fruit. But did it thence follow, that every image of God was plucked from the heart of man? No. Every mortal has an inquisition within him, which discriminates to him the difference between right and wrong. Take from man this divine spark, and he is reduced to a slavish, abandoned and brutal creature. The world all misery because all vice—But this is not the true system of human nature—
Man is a complicated creature with the seeds of both virtue and vice implanted in him, and a power of cultivating either—And this results from the covenant entered in-
to with fallen man by God himself. Do this and you shall be saved. Would it not be a most insulting mockery of his creature man, if God who is all goodness should require him to perform impossibilities. Lawyers say that an impossible condition makes a covenant void—Therefore it follows that man is free. As we are then free my fellow-citizens, why pursue a line of conduct which we know will augment our misery? Why insult, execrate and abhor each other? Why so censorious? Because another man is put into office why should curse the Governor? Reverse the case, and suppose that I was put into office, would not another man curse me and my constituents? perhaps not. I ought at least to suppose so, and thence to forbear cursing him. When we feel goodness in our own breasts, we will suppose some goodness in every one around us. And if we curse not, we shall stand the best chance of not being cursed. But suppose that we are cursed, does that justify our cursing? Does not the Scripture say, love your enemies and bless them that curse you? Therefore my fellow-citizens, as Christians we have no excuse for what we have done—it can be wiped off only by repentance. The noble Roman emperor, was made very uneasy at the thoughts of having passed one day without doing any good. But we Christians are not contented, unless we are committing evil every day of our lives. Oh sad degeneracy! To enjoy the light of the sun, and yet to act infinitely worse than those who were enveloped in the most impenetrable darkness! Oh my country! Oh pity! Oh Kentucky! Christians in knowledge, and worse than heathens in practice! The favorite people of God, and yet devoured by Satan! Eminently favored in order to be superlatively disgraced! Among our enemies the savages, there are few internal broils and dissensions—few murders—few rapes—few robberies—No back-biting—no sarcastic taunts—no lampoons—Experience and age give wisdom and therefore office—The rest quietly and contentedly acquiesce. Examples worthy of imitation. A Christian to learn wisdom from a heathen! No, it cannot be—you are certainly in a delirium! No for it is as true as gospel. What then is to become of us? Though this is a hard question, yet don't despair. It is never too late to do good. The king of Prussia thought so, and therefore providence favored him. If Hannibal had despaired, he would never have crossed the alps. If the Lutherans and Calvinists had despaired, they would never have been able to have brought about the reformation. And if the Armenians had despaired, they would never have got the advantage of the Calvinists. And in fine if the children
of Israel had despaired, they would never have reached the promised land, though led by God himself. But perhaps some may object to this reasoning and say, that such party-cavillations and sarcasms may in the end be a national advantage, by keeping alive the spirits of the people, and by preventing their minds from falling into languor and coldness. And thus some have asserted that even wars are necessary—fallacious reasoning indeed. Because Providence turneth to good account those various evils which are the natural result of human liberty, they are therefore necessary! As if evil was acceptable to the Deity, or as if he stood in need of it! Oh dear sirs whoever ye be that reason after this sort, ascribe not evil to the fountain of all goodness, and thus disfigure the attributes of your God by your whimsie and caprice. But rather reform your lives and manners, remembering the everlasting words, If ye do well, shall ye not be accepted? —Such calumniating speeches and stabs in the dark as our Gazette hath lately exhibited, must proceed from the want of the proper employment of human nature: the not pursuing with a proper assiduity and attention our several stations and occupations in life, or neglecting that more fruitful source of employment, the contemplation of the works of nature and of God. This is what will give employment to the longest life, and this is what too will afford the greatest happiness. Oh that we had a proper conception of those things which belong to our peace, and not thus be perpetually endeavoring to disturb the peace of others at the expence of our own! For it is a maxim which cannot be controverted, that the best way of promoting our own peace is by doing good to other men. And experience hath likewise fully evinced to us, that in general the more we persecute a cause, the more will it flourish. And therefore the individual who would attempt to satirise the new government, would in all probability only strengthen its bands, and store up his own disappointment. You will then reply that it is necessary and will answer a good purpose. I answer, I would not wish to see even the best cause promoted at the expence of any one man's ease. And though some might censure my philanthropy as excessive, yet will such a wish be seconded by every man of sense and candor.
The PHENIX.
From WOODFALL'S LONDON DIARY.
SIR, Gracious Heaven! what will our language come to! whither will the Johnsonian phrenzy carry us? A gentleman really sent to a lady of

most excellent endowment, the following card:
"MADAM, "At your post meridian composition, be not fascinated with the ar- descent of my bubulating in essence interior motives stimulate me in a traverse direction. — E contra, af- ter the diurnal operosity hath increa- sed the delectability of Vesper, per- haps I may favorate a wonted appe- tite in contuding that peracious root, which is so nice an esculent, if hu- midated by butter, joined to meli- fluous conviviality."
The Lady, well known by her poetical and other productions, had far more genius, if not all the Greek and Latin of the writer of the above, and sat down to tea without him, and got ready a roasted potatoe for his supper, which was the thing he meant. This I have subjoined, merely to prevent any of your fair readers being puzzled to make it out.
The same nubicular writer ad- dressed another note thus:
"MADAM, "Excuse my percuncion, since adapting my habiliments, I enuclea- ted an impotency of cohesion: or to rationate more sublimely a fissure, ebulliating from a tenuity of the hi- gametary particles which affect a vacuity, and contracted the rays of vision to a nudged space, in my cru- ral system."
Yet all this only means, he delay- ed having spied a hole in his flock- ing.
Another gentleman having in a public room trod upon the toes of a gouty old man, who happened to be present, is said to have vocitera- red in the following Lexiphanic strain:
"S'deth, how devious a vestige! In what a turbidinous dilemma do I stand! may dimness to an ulterior approximation of obscurity perambu- late my optic nerves if I saw you be- fore. Without all ambiguity, I have allaqueated myself in a laby- rinth of such inextricable mazes, as petrifies the emanations of common intellect. On this interesting emer- gency, it is not indeed, sir, the com- pals of my elution to exegiate an apology of adequate efficacy to abrogate your censure of my rufici- ty."
The poor old gentleman, smart- ing with the pain, stared at him with distorted muscles, yet willing to for- give so learned a character, turned to those around him, and simply beg- ged some of them would answer the gentleman, for he said "I am unac- quainted with foreign tongues, and can only speak plain English."
V I L N N A, November 25.
There is no more talk of peace — our court is resolved to sacrifice every thing rather than yield to France; besides the twenty battalions which are already marching, further or- ders have been given for an hundred and ten thousand men. This immense army will re- quire fifteen thousand horses for the transport of the ammu- nition and provision, and four- ty thousand men to conduct the waggons, to follow the ma- gazines, &c. The Hungarian army of Seventy-two thousand men are already on their march, and are arrived in the environs of Vienna. The Archduke Pa- latine commands them in per- son. The diet of Ratisbon has now given its consent to the tripple quota to be furnished by the different states of the Ro- man empire. The elector of
Bavaria has already furnished his contingent, which is to ren- dezvous at Donauwert, and from thence to march to Mannheim.
Dec. 15. We have accounts that the Porte is arming against Russia.
B E R L I N, Dec. 15. Warlike preparations go on here with the utmost alacrity, and every arrangement is ma- king for a most vigorous cam- paign, to be entered upon as early next spring as possible.
B R U S S E L S, Dec. 15.
We have just learned that the day before yesterday an ac- tion took place between the French and the Austrians posted on the heights of Verviers. — The battle was supported with great valour, on both sides, till the imperialists were obliged to give way, leaving Rechin and Herve to the French, and reti- ring to the woods of Aix-la- Chapelle.
L O N D O N, January 8.
At Offend, there was a very se- rious riot on new year's day. The burghers of that place had determin- ed to cut down the tree of liberty, but the French troops were collect- ed to prevent them. In the fray, one poor man was killed.
The following invitation from the French General at Antwerp, has been addressed to some mercantile houses in London.
Antwerp, Dec. —
The first year of Liberty and Equality. To our Brothers, the English Friends of Liberty and Equality.
I hasten to impart to you the o- pening of the Scheldt, and to apprise you, that a division of the naval force of our republic has already reached the port of Antwerp, without meet- ing with opposition, either on the part of the Dutch fort of Batz, or of their frigate stationed at the same place. The river being thus open, this superb city is about to recover its ancient celebrity and its riches; and this new Tyre will owe its li- berty and its splendor to a free and generous nation, which merely seeks friends and allies. In this number we reckon you, and invite you to send your ships to this port, protect- ed by the arms of the French and Belgic Republic.
Friends of Liberty and Equality! I salute you, and assure you of senti- ments of the most perfect contra- ternity.
"The Lieutenant General of the armies of the French Republic, Commandant of the City and Cua- del of Antwerp, as well as of West- ern Brabant."
MARASSE."
(Supercribed) To the Citizens — and — Merch- ants of London.
We can now take upon us to af- fert positively, that the destination of the squadron which sailed on Monday last from the Downs, under Commodore Murray, is the Scheldt.
The official advices received ye- sterday from Holland, confirm our former report, that the states general are determined to maintain their ex- clusive right to this river, the navi- gation of which is guaranteed to them by the most solemn treaties. It is likewise the firm intention of our court to substantiate this right for the Dutch by force of arms if neces- sary, and it is for this purpose that Commodore Murray has been dis- patched to the Scheldt. — We have reason to believe, that he has positive instructions to block up the French ships now lying in that river, and to
prevent others from passing the en- trance! We think it not implorable but that the French may insolently make the first attack.
Extract of a letter from Paris, dated December 30.
"General Dumourier is safely arrived here, and will, as soon as possible, appear before the national convention."
"The sections seemed determined to have the blood of the King; that of Luxemburgh has threatened the convention to elect a protector; that of Panchon Francois have de- clared themselves to be in a state of insurrection."
"Orders have been sent from the War office, to send 40,000 men to the assistance of Gen. Custine."
We learn that the whole militia of the Kingdom is shortly to be called out. The number of the militia of England and Wales, when completely embodied, amount to 30,840.
Every measure of the British ca- binet seems preparatory to war. The utmost energy pervades every department of the state, with which it is satisfactory to see that the spi- rit of the people keeps pace.
By an express from Amsterdam, received by Saturday's Dutch mail, we learn that the troops of his Sar- dinian majesty have gained a signal advantage over the French in Sa- voy — that they had taken all their magazines at Sospelo; three stand- ards; 50 prisoners, and killed and wounded a considerable number. The loss of the Sardinians was very inconsiderable.
Extract of a letter from Genoa.
"On the 13th December admi- ral Truget sailed from Porto Spe- zio, with a squadron of 14 sail of the line, and 12 frigates. He steer- ed for the island of Corsica. What the object of this formidable squa- dron is, it is at present difficult to conjecture; but from the reinforce- ments which it has lately received, it may be concluded, that some grand enterprise is in projection; some plan of conquest or plunder."

IT having been decided on Tues- day, in consequence of a request from the commandant general of Paris, that the unfortunate Louis should be brought to the bar the next morning, at nine o'clock, the sitting of Wednesday commenced at that hour.
Within a few minutes afterwards, the president said, "I announce to the assembly, that Louis and his de- fenders are ready to appear at the bar. I forbid the members or the spectators to shew any signs of cen- sure or approbation." Louis then appeared at the bar, accompanied by M. M. Lamorigen Malherbes, Troncher, de Seze, the mayor of Paris, and the commandant of the national guards.
The president said, "Louis, the Convention has decreed, that you shall be definitely heard to day."
Louis. — "My counsel will read to you my defence."
M. de Seze then read for some hours the defence, of which the sub- stance is here given, as exactly as we can recollect it, tho' the whole could by no means be contained within the limits of a newspaper. It began thus:
"Citizen representatives of the nation, the moment is then arrived in which Louis, accused in the name of the French people, and surround- ed by the counsel which humanity and the law have given him, is a- bout to deliver his justification. E-
ven the silence with which we are surrounded, informs me, that the day of justice has succeeded to the day of presumption and pre-judgment. The misfortunes of kings have something much more affecting and more sacred than those of other men; and he, who once occupied the most brilliant throne, in the universe, ought to excite the most powerful interests. You have called him in- to the midst you, and he is come, with calmness; with dignity, strong in his innocence, supported by the testimony of a whole life. He has discovered to you such to be his thoughts by discussing, without pre- paration, without examination, char- ges which he could not foresee, and offering an extemporary defence. Louis could only tell you of his in- nocence; I come to prove it. Would that this circle could increase till the whole multitude of citizens, who have received a dreadful im- pression against him, could be con- tained in it, that they might form a different opinion. I know that Europe expects, with impa- tience, the judgment which you shall give; he knows, that posterity will, one day, investigate it; but he con- siders only his contemporaries. Like him, we forget posterity, and see on- ly the present moment."
M. de Seze then said, that the question might be considered in two points of view, either with respect to Louis before or after his accept- ance of the constitution. The nation, he admitted, was the sovereign, and was free to give in what form of government it pleased; but the nation itself could not exercise its own sovereignty, and must, there- fore, delegate it. In 1789 the nation chose a monarchical government and decreed the inviolability of its chief. He then shewed that the forfeiture of the throne was the only punishment to which the King, ac- cording to the constitution, could be subject; that it was only for crimes committed after this destitution that he could be tried like other citizens. Either the crimes of which Louis is accused, were held crimes by the Constitutional act, and of course, if proved, were to be punished according to that act, or they were not to be found in it, and were, therefore, not to be punished at all.
He would, however, admit, for argument's sake, that the crimes were all proved, and all mentioned in the Constitutional act. What then was the punishment? The ab- dication of the throne. But it might be said, that the nation had already abolished the throne so that there was no farther punishment of Lou- is, were new laws to be made, appli- cable only to one man, and formed since the accusation itself.
If, however, Louis was to be de- prived of his inviolability as a king, he must then, of course, have the right of being judged like a citizen, and in that case, where were the pres- ervatory forms of trial decreed for cit- izens by the law? Where were the jurors, those hostages for the lives and honour of citizens? Where was the proportion of suffrages which the law had so wisely established? Where that silent ballot which inclosed within the same urn the opinion and conscience of the judge? "I speak to you," said M. de Seze, "with the freedom of a free man; I search among you for judges, and I see on- ly accusers; you would give judg- ment upon Louis, and you have ac- cused him; you would try him, and you have already expressed your will."
As to the charge of having with- ed to dissolved the national assem- bly — Was it forgotten that Louis had convoked it? Was it forgotten that during 150 years princes, more jealous of their authority, had con- stantly refused that convocation?

Was it forgotten that but for Louis, but for the numerous sacrifices to which he had consented, the audience could not then be sitting, to deliberate upon the interests of the state?"
He would not then speak of the memoir in which Talon was said to have the care of producing a counter-revolution, intrusted in part to him; but even upon an ordinary trial, could it be permitted, that papers taken from a citizen, without an inventory and unsealed, by the invasion of his house, should be produced in the evidence against him? In some of those papers, mention was made of the money which had been expended; but even if it was denied, that this expence was for purposes of benevolence, could it be forgotten, how easily Kings were circumvented and deceived? The plan of a letter to La Fayette and Mirabeau, was spoken of, but this letter had not been sent; and, as the letter of thanks to Bouille, the constituent assembly itself had voted thanks to that officer.—But the words were still to be uttered which would immediately overthrow the whole series of accusations—they were those: "Subsequent to all these circumstances, Louis accepted the constitution. The Constitution was the pact of alliance between the people and the King—There was no longer any contention—the pact was forgotten.—What had been done subsequent to this acceptance, was now to be examined."
(To be continued.)
LEXINGTON, April 13.
We are informed that a party of men under maj. Wheatly who went to the place where the company was defeated in the Wilderness on the 26th ult. have returned, and brought in with them, the most of the horses and baggage belonging to the party defeated, as also two of the children that were missing—it is supposed some sudden alarm caused the Indians to leave the ground immediately, by means of which the children were preserved. They also found and brought in a child that was taken by the Indians from a company they defeated about the first of March. It had straggled off from their camp whilst they were making the attack on the company of the 26th — The children had suffered very much for want of food.
On the 5th inst. a large party of Indians fired on six boats coming down the Ohio but did no other damage than kill one horse.
On the same day, a body of Indians, supposed to be fifty, attacked a station on Russell's creek, and continued near twenty-four hours without effecting anything; the inhabitants having previous notice of their approach. They killed a man near the station on their advance, into whose body they shot nineteen balls.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
"All things are full of labor."
WELL , what a busy world is this? A restless, noisy bubble! There's no such thing as solid bliss, Uncharg'd with care and trouble.
The sweets, the joys which here are found, Vain joys ourselves have staid; Are but the same laborious round, A thousand times repeated.
The Sun each morn so early seen, Sweats up the Eastern steep; And then as fast goes down again, And seeks his native deep.
The Moon too like her sister made, Goes laboring on with pain; Till of her burthen brought to bed, And then grows young again.
Now Flora's dress'd in all her pride he e. Straight Summer's dog-days enter: Next Autumn brings us Wine and cyder, And then again comes Winter.
These are industrious all must own, For Nature's seldom idle; Shall man then lordly man alone, Refuse to bear the bridle?
No; we too have our rounds; 'tis light, We eat - we drink - we play; At noon the same, the same at night, And so conclude the day.
A large company will meet at the Crab orchard on the 29th of April, in order to start early next morning thro the wilder- ness.
