MADRID, May 12.
It is certain that our court is in full negotiation with the French republic, for an alliance, offensive and defensive. Orders have been given for five hundred tri-coloured flags to be made, which are to float on our squadrons, instead of the white ones, hoisted heretofore for the French colours during the government of kings.
The Prince of Peace frequently gives fêtes to the ambassador of the French republic, general Ferignon. The king is about to present to him a sword richly mounted.
The equipment of our army and navy go on with astonishing activity. The reinforcements passed to the camp before Gibraltar are considerable; the army which composes it, is forty-five thousand men strong.
Our government is also at present occupied (by consent of the pope) with the suppression of the greatest part of the convents in the kingdom.
Germany.
COLOGNE, June 6.
A courier arrived this morning, informs us that the left wing of the army and the Meuse, pursued its victorious march to the right bank of the Rhine. The following is the official account which confirms the capture of the Austrian entrenchments at Aldenkirchen.
"Head Quarters, at Lentz,
"17th Prairial (June 5,) 4th
"year of the Republic."
"Bonnarde, general of division, to the general of brigade, Davinot, at Cologne."
"I hasten to acquaint you, my dear comrade, with the contents of a letter which I have this moment received from the chief of general Kleber, that in the engagement of yesterday the heights of Aldenkirchen were turned with such rapidity, that all the artillery which defended them were taken together, with a battalion of 1000 men, 1500 men strong, as also its colours, the colonel, and many other prisoners, and that the rout of the enemy was unexampled. We know very well that our brave army will in its turn gain as brilliant victories as those of Italy."
"Vive la Republique,
"BONNARDE."
June 12.
The usual mail from Frankfort, expected this day, has not arrived. The last intelligence from that city, is of the fourth instant, which informs, that the passage of the river Sieg, by the French army, had occasioned a terrible sensation, the citizens imagining that they already saw the French army at the gates of Frankfort. A brisk cannonading was heard near the Hundstruck, but we have received no information respecting the cause of it. The gunboats of Sir William have gone to the environs of Bingen, where they have already begun their operations.
Letters from Vienna, of the 16th ult. announce the departure of Count De Metternich, for London. He is charged with a secret mission, relative to an object of the first importance.
P.S. We have received this moment via. Cassel, a letter from Frankfort of the 7th instant, from which we extract the following:
"Constituution is to its summit in this city. The arch duke has detached from his army, nineteen battalions and four squadrons, to reinforce Prince Wirtemberg. It seems that the two imperial armies will fall back entirely on this side the Rhine to concentrate their forces, in order to try the fate of a general and decisive battle. Couriers arrive and depart constantly."
SCHWALBACH, (Vet.) June 9.
Battles of Nieder-Lahnstein, Iffendorf
and Forcheim.
Notwithstanding the advantageous positions which the Austrians possess-
ed in their different points, generals Grenier and Bonnard have attacked, encircled, and taken, five thousand prisoners, twenty-three pieces of cannon, and a number of loaded wagons.
The fifth afternoon, ordered the blockade of Ehrenbreitstein.
The sixth, several strong columns passed the Lahn; the first are actually at Nasselen and Selters, ten leagues from Frankfort, and eleven from Mentz.
Arch Duke Charles, astonished at the marches and rapid successes of general Kleber, in the environs of the forests of Westerwald and the other side of the Lahn, and willing to oppose to the French a more considerable force, has withdrawn his army from the Hundstruck and made it file off by Mentz, in order, in concert with Field Marshal Wurmsier, to reinforce the right banks of the Rhine and the siege of Mainz—but general Jourdon foresaw and destroyed this project, by causing a principle part of his forces to pass the Rhine in the vicinity of Andernach, Coblenz and Nieuwied, to carry him forward on the right bank. His head quarters is actually in this last town.
VIENNA, May 25.
The Emperor has this morning sent off for London Count Metternich. We are assured that this mission is to signify to the Court of St. James, that his Imperial majesty is determined to make peace with the French Republic. The answer anticipated to this intimation is, that his Britannic Majesty's Minister will withhold the usual subsidy; but this consideration is null henceforth, since the coalition are convinced, that England maintains it with no other view than for its own advantage that is in order that France shall be constantly diverted from employing her treasure and forces against the universal tyrant of the seas.
MENTZ, June 3.
They speak of the arrival of a courier from Vienna, who brings orders for the suspension of offensive operations.
WURGENS, June 12.
The action of the 9th and 10th which were fought near Neustadt and Kayserlautern, by the armies under Wurmsier and Moreau were more bloody than all the preceding; the loss was considerable on both sides, but the Republicans had ultimately the advantage, they drove the Austrians from all their positions, and took possession of the towns of Durkheim, Kayserlautern, Frankenthal and Grunstadt; they continue to advance to invest the fort of the Rhine, opposite Mannheim.
Austrian Netherlands.
BRUSSELS, June 19.
The whole of the army commanded by general Jourdan, has quitted the Hundstruck to pass the Rhine, and carry the theatre of war to the right bank of the river. It is on this account that the arch duke Charles has removed his army to cover Frankfort. There are no Austrian troops to cover Mayence on this side; the French have only left some small posts on the point, that they might carry all their forces to the right bank. The army of Jourdan is encamped on this side of the Lahn, and that of the Austrians is on the other. In this state of things, it cannot be long before we hear of a general battle. All appearances are in favor of the French army. Every day is marked by petty combats, the advantage of which is sometimes on one side, and sometimes on the other.
France.
PARIS, June 8.
Letters from Pavia of the 18th ult. inform, that the students of that celebrated University, have declared themselves in favor of the revolution; they have requested to take up arms, in order to fight with their French friends against the common enemy, the
aristocrats and despots.—Buonaparte has granted an audience to the ambassadors of the Pope; they were about to throw themselves at the conqueror's feet, but he prevented it, and requested them to take a seat.
After a long pause, the apostolical messengers began to expatiate on the extreme admiration the holy father felt for the illustrious virtues of the general. They praised his moderation and humanity to conquered nations, and concluded by soliciting peace. Buonaparte replied, that they must apply to the Directory; that, nevertheless, as they, as well as the prince who had sent them, might rely on his benevolence, and on the protection of the army; that for the present he demanded no more than a subsidy of fifteen millions, and a collection of the best paintings and finest statues, which were out of France in a country abounding with wonders, and the residence of talents.
Buonaparte conversed in Italian with ambassadors; they were quite charmed with his politeness, and withdrew well satisfied with his proposals.
June 15.
If we can believe letters from Strasburgh, two Austrian Commissioners have passed thro' that place for Paris. What gives appearance of truth to this account is, that the letters from Vienna assure us that the Emperor is violently agitated. He has forbidden the name of Buonaparte to be mentioned in any other way than by the title of "Chief of Brigands in Italy."—Our letters further add, that the Cabinet of Austria has dispatched two couriers, one for Peterburgh, and the other for London.—Count Metternich is the one sent to London. He is directed to signify the Emperor's determination to make peace with the French Republic.
It seems certain that there are in Paris two Austrian Commissioners, who have to negotiate a peace.
June 17.
There is no longer a doubt of a renewal of negotiations between the French Republic and the Emperor; and we are promised important news in two days.
Joel Barlow, the celebrated Literary Champion of Freedom, is appointed the American Minister at Algiers.
June 18.
Men who pretend to be well informed say, that a war between Spain and England is on the point of breaking out.
A letter from Vienna of the 30th of May informs that the Pope wished to pay a visit to that place, but that the Emperor refused the reception of the visit.
Letters from Hamburg say, that since the news of the victories in Italy Mr. Pitt has recalled the orders which he gave to Messrs Doerner and Schuch, bankers in that town to hold a considerable sum of money at the disposition of the Emperor. If the English government ceases to advance money, the House of Austria must make peace.
It is generally reported in the council of Five Hundred, that a courier is arrived, who in the name of the emperor, requests an armistice, and proposes, that several important places, such as Mentz, shall be held as pledges during the negotiation.
It is further added, that the principle difficulties were obviated this night, and that the preliminary of peace is signed between the Directory and the envoy of the cabinet of Vienna, at Paris.
June 19.
The minister of the marine of the colonies has just learned from Rochfort, that on the 19th, Capt. Barney, of the Vengeance, brought in eleven vessels taken from the English.
It is currently reported here this day, that there has been a new battle fought on the Rhine, in which we have taken three thousand prisoners from the Austrians.
BOURDEAUX, June 23.
Extract of a letter from Beaulieu to the Council of the Emperor.
"I demanded of you a general and you sent me Argenteau. I know that he is a great seigneur, and that by way
of recompence for the judgments I have passed on him he is to be made Field Marshall of the Empire! forewarn you, that I have no more than 20,000 men, and the French have 60,000—that I shall fly to-morrow the day after to-morrow and every day until I arrive into Siberia if they pursue me. My age authorises me to tell the whole truth. In a word, make the offer of peace to conclude a peace on any conditions whatever."
England.
LONDON, June 20.
An article from Toulon, dated June 4, says, "The English fleet is still stationed before our port. They are waiting for two frigates which are destined to carry Aubert Cubayet to Constantinople.—No vessel can enter the harbor but by mere accident. They take our ships under our very batteries; they have lately taken the corvette L'Unité, in the port of Bonn, on the coast of Barbary."
Private letters, brought by the Hamburg mail, mention circumstances deserving particular observation, as coming from persons of good authority. They state, that a negotiation is on foot to marry the daughter of Louis XVI. now at Vienna, to a son of the King of Spain, and to place both on the throne of France.
The following intelligence was on Saturday announced at Lloyd's in a letter from Christiana, (Norway) dated the third of June, transmitted by the post of Edinburgh, to Mr. Bennet master of the coffee house.
"There are now cruising in the North seas, in the latitude fifty-seven eight French and Dutch frigates, and some stout armed vessels under the orders of Capt. Le Bozee, of the French frigate Republic. They have already captured sixteen British vessels, one of them belonging to Thouborn; commanded by David Bolker."
A letter from Edinburgh which accompanied the above expresses much apprehension for the safety of a fleet of seventy sail of British vessels, which were appointed to sail some short time since from the Sound, under convoy of three frigates.
Admiral Macbride is stated to have been off Bergen, (in lat. sixty) on the fourteenth; a sloop was dispatched from Leith, in quest of him immediately on the receipt of the above intelligence, and we trust communicated it to him in sufficient time to prevent their return to port.
June 21.
The alarm of an invasion is undoubtedly to be revived, & a most expensive alarm it will be. Three men have been detected taking soundings on the Northern coast, from the mouth of the Humber to the Thames, and two of them, with their charts, have escaped; the third is now in custody; and it is found that for some time past they have been preparing craft for an expedition of this kind. This is a dire story, and if parliament is to meet it is for the purpose of doubling the militia, and of preparing means of horse defence against this threatened attack. The volunteer corps will be all in requisition.
There will be a legal question of great importance to settle in case of the separation of the Prince and Princess of Wales. Will her Royal Highness be entitled to her full dower of fifty thousand pound a year as a separate maintenance?
The Prince of Wirtemberg is to set out on his journey for England, to receive the fair hand of the Princess Royal, the latter end of the present month.
The expence of the marriage of the Prince of Wirtemberg, including dower, cloaths, jewels, &c. will be about one hundred and sixty thousand pounds.
June 23.
DEFEAT OF THE FRENCH ON THE RHINE.
We only this morning received Paris news to the 22d inst. inclusive. Gen. Jourdan's letter it appears that the French have been defeated on the right bank of the Rhine by the archduke Charles. It is certainly not

to be expected that a French general will give a faithful account of the disasters experienced by his own army, but still there is sufficient in the letter of Jourdan to warrant a conclusion that the defeat he sustained has been of some magnitude. This indeed is evident from the avowed consequences of the action; Jourdan having been reduced to the necessity of recrossing the Rhine with precipitation. Kleber, who had rapidly advanced to the banks of the Nahe, having been compelled to fall back to the Sieg.
It should not escape our readers notice that in a former campaign the Sieg and Lahn were the places that the Republican army met with a severe check.
The retreat of general Wurmtier, and of the archduke from Hunsdruck, it now appears, were skillful manoeuvres to enable them to attack the French on the right bank of the Rhine, with more advantage.
Previous to Mr. Pitt's leaving town it was determined in Council, that Parliament should not be summoned to meet on the twelfth of July next, according to the return of the new writs. Notice to this effect was yesterday sent off to several of the Scotch and other members in distant parts of the country who were preparing to come to town. The new parliament will not meet for the dispatch of business sooner than the early part of November.
This sudden change in political affairs, is to be attributed to another determination—that of not granting an imperial loan.
DOVER, June 6.
Last Thursday evening his majesty's sloop the Raccoon, capt. Roe, fell in, about six o'clock, with two large French gun boats, conveying five sail of Dutch merchantmen from Ostend to Flushing, an engagement ensued, and continued till half past eight o'clock when the gun boats and three of the convoy returned to Ostend, and escaped; the other two were captured and carried in the Downs yesterday. It is thought the enemies gun boats must have suffered very severely in their men, as the Raccoon's guns were observed to rake them fore and aft. The Raccoon had one man wounded.
BRISTOL, June 27.
From our London Correspondent, Saturday night June 25, 1796.
"Private advices received this evening represent the Austrian victory and defeat of the French as being the cause of the loss of 3000 men to gen. Jourdan, and that the Austrians were every hour expected to recross the Rhine and the Sieg, in the pursuit of the Republicans."
Scotland.
NEW-Castle, June 18.
From the Caledonian Monthly Journal of Jan. 1796. Letters have been received by the late anti-alcoholist the Eastward which mention that an insurrection of the Chinese of an alarming nature, had taken place at Batavia. Thirty thousand of these industrious but much oppressed people, are said to have recourse to arms, and being joined by a numerous body of slaves, of all the nations of the East, to have spread terror and alarm throughout the whole districts of the vicinity of Batavia. The particular circumstances which led mild and inoffensive people to measures of such apparent desperation, are not particularised.
Italy.
ITALY, May 24.
General Buonaparte has ordered an army of 15,000 men to penetrate into the Ecclesiastical States. Deputies from the Pope have however, already entered into a negotiation for an armistice. The proposals of the French General are the same kind with those which the Duke of Parma has been compelled to accept. Buonaparte requires, besides the Apollo Belvidere, the Laocoon, and other valuable statues, fifty pictures, at his own choice and a contribution of fifty millions of livres either in ready money or silver plate. The latter condition, it is expected, will be moderated by the mediation of the Spanish Ambassador at Rome, to a smaller sum.
History tells us of illustrious villains—but he never was an illustrious villain in nature.

SALEM, August 9.
Capt. John Barton, from Rochester, informs that the celebrated Capt. Barney late of Baltimore, has the command of a squadron of frigates, 8 in number, that were to sail in a few days from that port on a secret expedition, and were to be joined by 3 more from an adjacent port. It was conjectured the West Indies was their destination. Capt. Barney has often declared his anxious desire of visiting that "seat of infamy." Bermuda—and it may not be a false prophecy to predict the long-wished for destruction of this place by the above squadron—as Capt. B. has a few arrearages to pay to some of the inhabitants of this Island.
BOSTON, June 19.
Capt. Nason informs us, Fort Dauphin was delivered to the French; just previous to his sailing, in pursuance of the article of the French and Spanish treaty, which cedes Spanish Hispaniola to the French. The French immediately on getting possession, commenced the exercise of their colonial despotism upon the Americans. They take all cargoes—at their own prices—and pay those prices principally in promises only.
August 17.
Yest. capt. Smith arrived here from St. Petersburg, in 47 days—he informs that in Denmark vigorous preparations were making for war. That united Danish and Swedish fleets lay in Copenhagen road, completely victualled and manned—and that in Norway, two French privateers had taken and carried into Christianland, fourteen British ships richly laden from the Baltic.
New-York.
NEW-YORK, August 16.
Extract of a letter from Port-au-Prince, dated July 25.
"No military operations of any great moment have yet been undertaken, and this agreeably to the orders received from gen. Abercrombie, who is to open the campaign with the additional forces intended to be brought with him from Martinique, &c. for that purpose."
Extract of a letter by the Dispatch, from a gentleman in Bourdeaux, dated June 22, 1796.
"I have to inform you, that the infernal tyrant of Germany has sent two ambassadors to Paris to make peace.—Those villains are completely routed on the Rhine, as well as in Italy. I trust in a month, the French will have possession of Hanover, and the Bishoprick of Osnaburgh; no doubt this is the next plan to be executed, in order to oblige to oblige the British pirates to give up their plunder in the West-Indies."
"There are still appearances of a Spanish war; I trust in God it will take place;—all nations on earth should rise in a mass against those British sea pirates—those murderers of the human race—may the Almighty hurl vengeance on this piratical nation!"
Capt. Banker, of the barque Leila, in twelve days from Turks-Island, has obligingly informed us, that previously to his arrival at that place, two French frigates passed the island, and that a few hours before he sailed, a brig commanded by a capt. Sprage, arrived there from Cape-Nichola-Mole, bringing intelligence, that the above frigates had fallen in with an English fleet from Europe, under convoy and had captured a considerable number of them.
Pennsylvania.
PHILADELPHIA, August 24.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Dublin, to his friend in Norfolk, 14th May 1796.
"This place, though the metropolis of the kingdom, is in a horrid situation, the people so dissatisfied with the present mode of government, that they are almost languid, groaning under a weight too heavy to be borne. Nothing but the numerous militia keeps them from an open rebellion, which they seem ripe for; and I think must happen ere long. There is now 60,000 militia in this small kingdom, supported by its government, trade dull, provisions high, the poor starving, beggars numberless; those
in tolerable circumstances speak of nothing but emigration.—A man must scarcely mention the name of America or France, for fear of being accused of treason."
Philip Parry Price Middleton, was tried on Thursday the 26th May in the court of king's bench, London, for endeavoring to entice artificers to emigrate to America. It appeared he was a man of property, and had engaged 1500 persons for that purpose. He was found guilty. The penalty is 500l and one years imprisonment.
The following curious note we extract from a Paris paper.
It is not only the courage and talents of Buonaparte but more particularly his name, which contains the letter R. terrifies the people of Rome:—This wants to be explained.
A much revered prophet of that country has announced several centuries ago, that Italy would not be subdued except by a general who had but one R in his name: that resistance against such a one would be vain; that Rome would open its gates to him; and that the powers of the pope would from that time be at an end. The Romans pretend, that the prophet in question, never deceived them; that all his oracles were hitherto found true. In confirmation of this, they cite several proofs. It was observed that from the commencement of the war, they were persuaded that Kellerman, one day, would set the tri-colored flag on the capitol because his name contained the fatal letter.
It is more than probable, that the honor of verifying the prophecy is reserved for Buonaparte; yet it must be allowed, that with armies like ours, generals with or without an R, possess powerful means to recover the native country of Cicero and Brutus to Philosophy and Liberty.
August 27.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London to his friend in Hartford, dated June 14, 1796.
"Sad work with the prince of Wales and the princess, through that wicked woman Lady Jersey, who, has been the means of parting them; they have not lived together for the last some months; great stir—The princess becomes in the eyes of the populace, very popular; and the prince becomes altogether hated. Lord Shelburne endeavored to reconcile matters, but he was forbid Carleton house. Mr. Pitt was asked, but I think gave a very just answer; "that he had trouble enough between father and son, without meddling between man and wife."
Three French frigates under the command of capt. Barney, anchored at the Moro castle, Havana, on the 9th inst. They were to sail next day in quest of a Jamaica convoy.
The president of the United States yesterday received the Chevalier Martinez De Yrujo, as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary from his catholic majesty to the United States.
New-Jersey.
TRENTON, August 23.
The capture of the city of Trent, cannot fail to spread terror from one end of the Austrian dominions to the other. It will also contribute a considerable share to the restoration of the French finances. Its bishop is one of the richest of Germany, and must rather be considered as tributary to, than a subject of the house of Austria. From the position of Trent it appears, that the French are also masters of Roveredo, a very flourishing town in the south division of Tyrol. They are undoubtedly in possession also of Chiola, a Venitian fort of great strength, which serves as a gate to a narrow pass between the Alps, and was always considered as the bulwark of the Venitian state against Austria, and the key of Tyrol.
Georgia.
AUGUSTA, July 14.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Colerain, to his friend in this place, dated June 27.
"I wrote to you by the last post giving some account of the politics of this place. Having been here almost ever since, I will endeavor to give some further account."
"It is my opinion, that Jackson and Simms have damned the treaty. It seems to me the former is deranged, his arrogance overleaps any thing I
have ever seen.—From his want of temper, he disgusted the Indians as well as the federal commissioners. Declaratory invective made up all his oratory, and pervaded his whole deportment upon this important mission. Col. Henrick's conduct is much approved; and had his measures been pursued the lands might have been obtained. He associated with all the gentlemen engaged in the negotiation, and gained their esteem. I think he ought to protest against the proceedings of his colleagues, but I am afraid he will not. Jackson's mean endeavors to shift the blame off his own shoulders, will, I fear be too successful with the misguided people; but be assured that the federal commissioners, and Mr. Seagrove, continued to do every thing in their power, as long as Jackson kept within tolerable bounds. You may rely on this account of affairs, although I cannot at present descend to particulars. Some little matters have turned up here, which may probably stop his career in a short time.

MR. SMITH,
The failure at the late treaty with the Creek Indians, in the accomplishment of the object of the state of Georgia, as yet remains unexplained to public, except a partial and anonymous publication at Savannah. The following letter, on that subject, from the commissioners of the United States, written upon the spot, with apparent candor, and under the impression of official responsibility, explains the cause; and its publication, therefore, cannot but be very satisfactory to the citizens. With this view, a copy of the original has been procured, & is committed to the Press.
A CITIZEN.
Augusta, July 20, 1796.
Colerain, July 1, 1796.
SIR,
Having terminated our mission here by concluding a treaty of peace and friendship with the Creek nation; we feel it a duty we owe to your excellency, to make this communication to you; to inform you of the pacific disposition of the Creeks. They have among other things, stipulated with us, to carry the treaty of New-York completely into effect: and to aid in running the line, from the source of the main south fork of the Oconee to the Oconee mountain; at such time and in such manner, as the President of the United States should direct. The expectations formed by your state relative to the purchase of certain lands guaranteed to the Indians are frustrated. The representatives of the Creek nation came instructed by the whole nation, not to part with the lands. We were not apprised of this till our negotiation had been extended to all the objects connected immediately with our mission. We on being informed of it, thought it our duty, to examine whether any improper interference had been used, to produce this determination of the nation, and we are of opinion after the necessary enquiry that there was not any such interference, on the part of any of the citizens of the United States.
From the long, repeated and friendly conversations, we have had with the chiefs, we have been able to draw from them some information, which we owe to our situations to give freely to you; It is, that it will require some time, and a considerable degree of prudence, to impress on the Indians, a confidence in the uprightness of the views of your government, and in the friendly and peaceable intentions of its citizens, who inhabit the frontiers; and until such confidence is established we are of opinion, that all attempts to acquire land from them by fair and open purchase, will be ineffectual.
With our best wishes for the prosperity of the state of Georgia,
We have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your obedient servants, BENJAMIN HAWKENS, GEORGE CLYMER, ANDREW PICKENS
His excellency JARED IRWIN, Governor of the State of Georgia,
A people jealous, as they ought to be, of their just rights, should beware lest they become dupes to their own credulity, which is the child of jealousy; and they, united, are in their co-operations, as injurious to rational Liberty, as passive obedience ever was, or ever can be.
Concerning the late treaty with the Creeks, there are in quick motion, hosts of reports, as inflammatory as

they had been formed for that very purpose. The transactions in that important business, cannot, with propriety, be published before they shall have been laid before the President. But we think ourselves warranted in saying, that when they do appear by authority, they will extinguish the flame now kindled by false reports.
Wherefore it is hoped, that censures on the measures, and acting characters will be suspended, until an authentic statement thereof can be had; and then, we doubt not, but truth shall appear, with her usual energy, triumphant over all her enemies.

TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD.
DESERTED, from my detachment, this morning, Thomas Dunton, and Samuel Saunders, both private soldiers in the second sub-legion. Dunton is about five feet ten inches high, blue eyes, light hair, and well proportioned; took with him some part of his uniform clothing. Saunders is about five feet eight inches high, dark eyes and hair, and dark complexion, rather slender built; took with him a light infantry cap, and some uniform clothing. The above reward will be given for delivering them to any officer of the legion, or securing them in any jail in the United States, and all reasonable expenses paid, or TEN DOLLARS for either.

SCHEME OF A LOTTERY
For raising the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars, for the purpose of erecting a DUCK and LINEN MANUFACTORY in Georgetown. In three Classes—4000 Dollars by the first, and 3000 the two last.
CLASS THE FIRST.

5334 Tickets, at 5 Dollars each is 26670 Subject to a discount of Fifteen per Centum.
AS every encouragement ought to be given to manufactures in this state, this in particular claims the attention of the public. The many advantages which will arise from a manufacturing Duck, must be so to every man of reflection, that the managers think it unnecessary to enlarge on the subject; and the liberal principle upon which the scheme is founded (not two blanks to a prize) will, exclusive of that encouragement, justify the speculative adventurer upon principles of gain. The managers therefore flatter themselves that they will meet with such encouragement as the value of the tickets as will in a short time justify their appointment and giving public notice when the drawing of the lottery will commence.
Tickets may be had by applying in Lexington to Messrs. John Bradford and Alexander M'Gregor, in Frankfort to Mr. George Madison, in Versailles to Doctor Preston, or to
J. GRANT, } Managers. W. HENRY, } J. HAWKINS. }
Any person purchasing 20 tickets, shall have a credit until the Lottery is drawn.

The prizes will be paid in the town of Paris (only subject to a discount of ten per cent.) twenty days after the lottery is drawn. Prizes not called for within eighteen months after the drawing is finished, will be considered as donations made to the benefit of the scheme.
The Prizes drawn in this lottery, shall be regularly published in the Kentucky papers, and a numerical book, kept in Paris, which may be had examined (gratis) by any adventurer in this scheme.
Tickets may be had by applying to any of the undermentioned persons who are appointed Managers by law; and the drawing shall commence as soon as two thirds of the Tickets can be disposed of.
N. B. The Cheapness of the Tickets with the advantages of the scheme (being not two to a prize) it is hoped will entitle it to the patronage of the public.

As the scheme of a Lottery in the town of Paris and county of Bourbon, for raising the sum of 2801 dollars for opening the navigation of the South fork of Licking river, published in the Kentucky Gazette, would subject the Managers to be accountable for one third of the tickets which might be in their hands at the commencement of the drawing, agreeable to the scheme published—the Managers have therefore resolved, that the drawing of the said lottery shall not commence until the whole of the tickets can be disposed of.

EPITAPH ON JOSEPH CRUMP. ONCE ruddy and plump, But now a pale lump, Beneath this old stump, Lies honest Joe CRUMP, Who wish'd to his neighbor no evil— And tho' by death's thump He's laid on his rump, Yet up he shall jump, When he hears the last trump, And triumph o'er death and the devil.
ANECDOLE. A jury being summoned to sit on the body of a woman who had hanged herself; a gentleman going by, on seeing them enter the house, asked what the matter was, and being told they were going to sit on a dead body, said I'll be hanged if so many don't squeeze her to death.
A FACT. Verbal directions given by a celebrated Quack to a negro woman, how to dress a blister. When the cantharides have sufficiently excoriated the parts, excoriate the cutis, by the assistance of a keen scalpelum. This will produce an instantaneous evacuation of a large portion of aqueous matter, collected between the cutis and cuticula. Then take the foliage of a colewort, amputate the courier fibres, and after giving it a culinary sudorification, apply it to the vulnus.
A TOUCH OF THE WONDERFUL. WORCESTER, (Mass.) July 27.
From a Correspondent in Rutland. A very singular circumstance has lately occurred in the vicinity of this town, which has excited a general curiosity, and remains as yet unexplained. On the morning of the 16th inst. (the day after the late heavy showers) a Mr. Aaron Morse, of Paxton, on going into a piece of mowing a few rods distance from his house, discovered a number of small fish scattered among the grass. On searching with some of his neighbours, they found, in the course of the day and the day following in the compass of three or four rods, one hundred and thirty three pouts, or cat fish, all of them alive, some of them measuring five or six inches in length and weighing from a quarter to a half pound.
The place where they were found is a piece of land remote from any pond or stream from which they could have been washed out by the rain. There is a pond at the distance of a half a mile from the spot, which abounds with this kind of fish. But there is no visible communication, and a very large hill intervening, it is impossible they should be brought to this place by a natural current of water.
It is the prevailing opinion among the people in the neighborhood, that they were drawn up from the pond previous to the rain by the influence of the sun; that they floated in the vapor until they reached this spot and then dropt from the clouds. Whether this opinion can be supported by philosophical principle, or whether a more probable cause can be assigned, is left for investigation.
That they either were transported in the air, or traveled on dry land is absolutely certain as there is evidently no water communication, which could have landed them within half a mile of the spot. The fact is indisputable, and will be attested to by persons of undoubted veracity.
FOR SALE, One hundred and forty acres of first rate LAND, situated in the forks of Elkhorn, three miles above Nathaniel Saunders's mill well timbered, with good improvements, (to wit) 2 hewed log houses, together with several other necessary buildings—about twenty-five acres cleared and under good fence—a small meadow, and an excellent young peach orchard of about three hundred trees—an excellent never-failing spring, the stream of which runs through the land.
