July 4, 1796.
MR. BRADFORD, IN your Gazette of the 25th of last month, I find an answer to the objections I suggested, against the doctrine which was advanced by a Constitutionalist :—'That the members of the last assembly, are, by the twenty-fourth section of the first article of our constitution, excluded for one year, from the legislature, and from the electoral body.' As the decency of language used by this correspondent, evinces that his object is really to ascertain the truth, I shall accept his invitation, and in the same spirit attempt a reply.
In opposition to my first objection, he shews, that the members of legislatures are sometimes stiled officers. Not being possessed of all the authorities which he quotes, I can only presume he is correct. But I venture to assert, that on examining these authorities, and all the others in existence, it will be found, that in far the greater number of cases, where the word officers or officers is applied to the members of legislatures, it was to avoid circumlocution, when they are spoken of collectively with the other servants of government—who, ought to have confessed, are generally stiled officers, and the trusts they are invested with, offices; and that the reverse is true, when legislators are separately spoken of. The only exception to this assertion, which I have seen, is the one he quotes from our constitution. On which it may be remarked, that the present Pennsylvania constitution, on the same point, is in these words:—'No senator or representative, shall, during the time for which he shall have been elected, be appointed to any civil office, under this Commonwealth, which shall have been created, or the emoluments of which shall have been encreased, during such time.' This is nearly copied from the federal constitution, and the clause in our constitution, in question, is nearly copied from that of Pennsylvania; but our convention, to prevent the repetition of the word time in the same sentence, have introduced the word office in its stead. To avoid offending the ear, they have offended the understanding: for in the federal constitution, which is admired for the accuracy of its language, and the state constitutions, which I have perused, including our own, whenever all the functionaries of government are spoken of in detail, it is substantially in the following manner:—Members of the general assembly, and all officers executive and judicial—clearly, and some of them expressly, making a distinction between assembly-men and officers. I shall not detain you with an attempt to account for the terms officers and officers , having been thus generally appropriated to the executive and judiciary departments; because I conceive it to be sufficient, that the fact is so, to establish the objection I have founded on it: for I rest on the position—that in the construction of any instrument, the words should be taken as they are most generally and commonly understood, unless restrained or extended to a more rare or uncommon meaning, by some special consideration. As to those who have but few political books to read, I shall only call on them to declare, what they have been accustomed to hear; not doubting but they will witness in my favour—that they have but seldom, if ever, heard legislators stiled officers; and that the term has always been applied
to the members of the executive and judiciary. But another argument, in support of this objection, may be drawn from that clause in our constitution, which declares, that 'the governor and all the civil officers, shall be liable to impeachment, for any misdemeanor in office.' Now it would be contradictory to other parts of the constitution, as well as the nature and reason of the case, to suppose that members of the legislature are here included in the expression civil officers , and thereby subjected to impeachments.
I shall only trouble you with a few words in support of my second objection. To me, there still appears an evident and material distinction, between the emoluments of an office, and what is only considered as a reimbursement of the actual expenses incurred whilst in the execution of a trust. It is indeed possible for a legislature to fix a compensation for its members, which would amount to an emolument; but it never yet has happened, that a member of a state legislature, has been allowed more than about the one tenth part of what, on an average is considered to be an adequate compensation or emolument, for an executive or judiciary officer; and long established custom, and the largeness of the number of the members of legislatures, with other obvious circumstances, render it highly improbable, that the proportion will ever be greatly changed. I am sure that the office of a legislature, if it be an office, has never been counted, or expected to be lucrative.—These considerations will satisfactorily account, why the check, provided by the constitution, on increasing the compensation of the members of the legislature, is not so rigorous, as the one respecting those appointed to the executive and judiciary departments.
But I wish it to be remembered, that I principally relied on my third objection—which on reconsideration, I think is conclusive. Contrary to what my opponent supposes, I do not find that any provision, contained in one clause of our constitution, is repeated in another.
But although such an inaccuracy might have happened, it is a rule of construction, as I before stated, that it shall never be imputed, when the two clauses will, with propriety, bear different meanings and applications; which must be determined from the apparent object of each of the clauses. In this case, the object of the two clauses are so evidently distinct, as to need no comment; and it ought also to be noted, that the one so immediately follows the other, that it would be the more absurd to suppose, that the latter inadvertently comprised the former. If then the two clauses do not necessarily respect the same object, to construe the latter, so as to exclude from the legislature for a year any citizen, would not only be a violation of the rule alluded to, but likewise of a more important principle—that no man ought to be deprived of life or privilege, but by the unequivocal declarations of the law. If the gentleman will again recur to the constitution, he will find, that the clause which he quotes concerning the salary of the governor, is not superfluous; for nothing tantamount is contained in any other clause.
An observation here arises which may suffice, on what he opposes to my fourth objection. By his construction, not only many citizens, would be arbitrarily deprived of
an important privilege, but the community also of the services of their most experienced and confidential men; which would be so violent a draught from the legislative talents of the country, that I am confident, that this could not have been the intention of the framers of its constitution. Or if it was, that virtuous patriots, as well as those who are only emulous of retaining their seats in the legislature, would prefer eligibility, with the existing compensation, to the consequences of such a change; and that therefore thus to extend the construction, would have the operation which I before stated.
I would not have thus far intruded on you and your readers, had I not thought it of consequence to remove what appeared to me, a mistaken suggestion of the ineligibility of such of the present assembly as were members of the last: because I am of opinion, that no good citizen would wish to hold a trust, from which he is really excluded by the constitution. That the constitution of our government ought to be revered, and all its provisions and institutions held inviolate, until altered or abrogated by the same authority that established them, is my political creed: so that neither can I agree in sentiments with my opponent, when he intimates that constitutional regulations are unnecessary, and have a tendency to 'exchange men for machines;' or that they ought to be considered as 'the checks and balances of aristocracy.' If I should find that I have mistaken his meaning, I shall be ready to ask his pardon; but understanding him as I do, I think it proper thus to signify my dissent, without having any desire or intention of entering into a polemical discussion of the subject. I would however, beg leave to remind him, that the people of a large community, can only govern themselves by agents, and that as the people are the sovereigns, it would be incompatible, that their agents should become so: moreover, that continual struggles will be making by the ambitious, respecting—the right of being agents—the nature, extent and duration, of their several powers—and who shall have the ascendancy over their fellow agents. The more short and simple the constitution is, which will regulate these concerns, and restrain these evils, with many others equally important, the more it ought to be admired; and if no constitution has yet been framed, which effectually answers all these purposes, the fault is not in the device, but in the want of greater perfection than it has attained.—The gentleman will, at least, acknowledge, that sentiments so contrary to the opinions and practices of the freest communities in the world, should not have been published, without the arguments to support them.
Another Constitutionalist .
LONDON, April 22.
The account of the Cape of Good Hope being taken by the French is unfounded.
A letter received at New-York from Dominica, dated May 2d, mentions the capture of St. Lucia. This information is fully contradicted by the articles under the St. John's head in this days paper: from which it appears that on the 15th of May, Morne Fortune, the principal fortress in St. Lucia, had not surrendered; nor does it appear that such an event was likely to take place.
PARIS, April 2.
Letters from Vienna state, that Clairfayt is to repair to Peterburg, in consequence of an invitation from the empress. It is believed, that the object of this voyage is relative to a war which Russia seems to meditate against the Turks, as being the creation of the threefold alliance.
April 8.
Our bankers, who heretofore discharged their engagements in ready money, now pay all in mandates.
Great numbers of English ships, are brought into our harbors. One was lately brought into Brest, worth 400,000 livres in ready money.
April 10.
Afflicting news has been received from the department of Cher. The assemblages of royalists which have been formed there are become more numerous, and have already committed many acts of violence. The town of Sancerre is said to be already in their hands, where they have destroyed all the Republican symbols, and hoisted the white flag. It is a Monsie Bouthillers; an ex constituent, who is at the head of this insurrection. Our government has ordered troops to march thither; and is taking the most active measures to put a stop to this rebellion and to discover the authors.
If the Ami des Loix may be credited, the directory have perceived the folly of treaty concluded with the elector of Hanover, and has just given orders to invade his dominions. We did not know that the engagement contracted under the faith of treaties, could be considered as foolish. We are equally at a loss to know whether this policy, which was doubtless invented by Charles Lacroix, is well calculated to secure the attachment of the court of Berlin, under whose mediation that neutrality was agreed upon.
It is acknowledged that the negotiations with the court of Turin are broken off. We are assured, that the Sardinian Minister refused to receive two Frenchmen who were charged with proposition for peace, because it was known before hand, that terms were inadmissible. There are some who ascribe their conduct, in this instance to the intrigues of the English and Emigrants.
In order to avert the dangers which threaten him, Freron, has Married the sister of General Bonaparte.
General Pichegru, having definitely declined the embassy to Sweden, and being willing to enjoy the charms of repose in the bosom of his family at Arbois, the place of his nativity, the government is to send to Stockholm a simple Charge de Affairs who is not known in a diplomatic character. He is ordered to depart in two days.
Gen. Moreau sets off to-morrow to take the command of the army of the Rhine.
INTERIOR OF FRANCE.
FROM THE PARIS PAPERS.
Letters from Bourdeaux state, that the trade of that city is in absolute stagnation; and that although all sorts of merchandise are 25 per cent. cheaper than formerly, yet they cannot be sold for want of buyers.
The Angers Gazette gives an account of an action near the Commune of Green-Boure, between

Chateau-Contier and Isable, in which the Chouans were defeated, with the loss of 320 men.
The rebels have evacuated the town of Santerre, in the department of Cher, of which they had possessed themselves; and a battle has taken place between them and the Republican soldiers, wherein the former are said to have lost 700 men.
The Vendéans, on the 7th of April, sent two of their leaders with a flag of truce to summon the garrison of Tincheray to surrender. The garrison having fired on them, the Vendéans to the number of 3000, marched to the gates, and again summoned the place when the inhabitants answered the summons by a discharge of musketry. The Vendéans then set fire to the town which continued to burn when the account left Vire. The inhabitants are said to have carried off 10 or 12 cart loads of their fellow citizens, either killed or wounded.
On the 5th instant, about 100 men, armed with pikes and pitchforks, repaired to the Commune of Piedruffe, burned the decrees and papers which respected the forced loan, and read a resolution to the Municipality, which, in the name of the King, annulled all the Republican acts. This armed force at last obliged the Municipality to cut down the Tree of Liberty, and make the Secretary write on a white flag, which they hoisted on the steeples, the following inscription: Vive le Roi, et Sainte Religion.
April 17.
The groups of Anarchists and Jacobins continued yesterday very numerous and very warm. Men who boasted of having concurred in the sedition of the 1st Prairial declared that the moment was now come for completing the work then left unfinished, and for re-establishing the Satellites of Robespierre, dispersing the Deputies, assassinating the Directory, and re-assembling all the members of the Convention not re-elected, in order that they may proclaim the code of 1793.
April 18.
Louvet says, the agitation of mobs and violent commotions still continue. The Constitution of 1793, and Robespierre, are the rallying signs of Royalty. The Emigrants paid by Mr. Wickham, mix among these crowds, as well as Amar and Vadier, members of Robespierre's Committee of General Safety.
According to letters received from Nantes Angers, and other departments, infested with Chouans they have been beaten and dispersed wherever they have been met by the Republicans. There is reason to expect that it will not be long before this unfortunate war is terminated.
We yesterday perceived at the Thuilleries all the elements of sedition and massacre; the agents of the tyranny of 1793, General Rossignol, and others of the criminal tribunal. The Pantheonists go almost every night to the Café des Bains Chinoises on the Boulevards, which is become the principal home of Anarchy, and they spread themselves over Paris in parties of ten, twelve or twenty men, and women, and by this means endeavor to organize Revolt.
The Mandats lost yesterday from 60 to 84 per cent. The Louis was at 5850 and 5900.
HUDSON, (N. Y.) June 2.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Paris to his friend in this city, dated 12th March 1796.
The treaty lately negotiated with Great Britain, has been the means of destroying effectually the friendship which happily subsisted between America and France, and I assure you, we, all who are in France apprehend something serious will be in consequence, had that treaty taken place in the time of any other administration, but
the present one, it would have been dangerous for Americans to be in France. We are now even treated with the greatest contempt. The name of American is despised, more than that of any other nation and I am informed from good authority, that the convention have fixed upon two men to go to America and demand of our government the cause of refusing a very advantageous treaty with them, and immediately entering into one of the most infamous treaties with their most implacable enemy, and in direct violation of the treaty already subsisting between the two countries. The French are very much displeased at a certain part of the president's speech at the meeting of congress, when expatiating on the happy situation of America, he contrasts it with the present distracted situation of Europe. The French say and I think very justly, that he reflected, and even seemed to exult, at their unfortunate internal commotions.
I am very much afraid that our present system of politics will involve America if not in war, in a situation almost as bad. I am with every body else here, of opinion that the alliance between America and France is nearly at an end, owing to the late close connexion with their and even our most inveterate enemy.
The English only want an opportunity to annihilate the American government, and this is the nation with whom we are seeking alliance—and violating treaties with this gallant nation to whom we owe our present boasted happy situation. I know your aristocrats in Hudson, will say I am an enthusiast, &c. that I have sworn eternal enmity to the British nation and will not bear reason when it respects England but have formed my political creed from prejudice—you can only tell them—they are wrong as it respects commercial affairs for in that I have no prejudice—whatever is best for my country in commerce, is best for me—I am as dispassionate and can hear reason as well as most aristocrats—I with some of those wise acres were here who say the French will take no notice of the treaty, who also say we shall be treated with more civility by the British. The pride and haughtiness of that nation, is the same as ever and their hatred to Americans is proverbial—we are now hated and despised by both, whereas, before the treaty, we were respected by the French and only hated by a nation that is itself hated by all the world. This city is at present perfectly quiet, we hear not a word about war, 'tis true they are making vast preparations in every part of the Republic such an army as they now have was never before known, a young man is hardly to be seen in Paris.
I am happy to inform you, capt. Barney has had ample satisfaction for his infamous treatment, he has two cutters and a brig, privateers. One of the cutters has brought in prizes to the amount of two or three hundred thousand pounds sterling.
Barney has shared himself at least one hundred thousand. He is capt. of a ship of the French line, but not at present in actual service.
BOSTON, June 11.
It is with regret we learn, that the President of the United States, will decline being a Candidate for that important office, at the next election. It behoves, therefore, the Citizens of the United States, that none but Federal Electors be appointed at the next choice.
PHILADELPHIA, June 15.
Last Friday the new copper-bottomed ship Mount Vernon, belonging to this port, outward-bound for London with a valuable cargo was taken about one hour after the Pilot left her, by the French privateer schooner Flying-Fish, which sailed from hence a few days since. The privateer's men took every person, captain and crew, out of
the Mount Vernon, put them on board a pilot boat, and sent them off. The captain of the Flying-Fish had a list of five or six American ships belonging to this port, which he said he was determined to capture.
Extract of a letter from Baltimore, June 10.
"Last night I received a letter dated Cayenne, 1st Floreal [April 20.] My correspondent informs, that citizen Jeannet, accompanied by citizen Lajennetiere, the new governor, and citizen Malle, the Ordinator of the Colony, besides several other officers of the Administration, had arrived there three days before, all in good health. The frigate La Medee, the corvette La Berge, and the cutter Le Dragon, are consequently at Cayenne.
The Republican brig Le Crocodile, carrying three 24 pounders, and 50 men, which citizen Polony some time since brought to Cayenne, has just taken near the mouth of the Amazone, the Portuguese ship La Princesse Royal, commanded by one Trinita, a Lieutenant in the navy, carrying twelve 9 pounders, 59 men, and laden with ship-timber, 150,000 weight of cocoa, coffee, cotton, &c. and six boxes of piastres. This ship was coming out of the Amazone, and struck without firing a gun. The sight of the tri-coloured flag alone made them fall down on their knees.—I vouch for the truth of the above intelligence."
The bearer of this letter confirms the account of the capture of the Cork fleet, announced at Barbadoes by the sloop of war, which was the only one that escaped:—On receipt of this news, which was brought on the tenth of May, the embargo, which had lasted 3 months, was taken off.—The same person announces also, that Admiral Christian had, near Madeira, fallen in with the Dutch fleet, and was TAKEN!
June 18.
It is reported, that the French Republic had declared war against Hamburg. The cause, we are told, originated in a refusal of the Senate to recognize the French Resident.
Thursday, the brig Lady Walter Roff. Capt. Gutterton, arrived here in thirty-six days from Teneriffe. The captain says that information had been brought to Teneriffe by way of Spain, before he sailed from thence that a peace was concluded between the Emperor and France, but we doubt the authenticity of this account, having advices direct from Cadiz of the 21st April, from Paris the 19th, and from Hamburg, of the 13 which make no mention of such an event having taken place. The peace is said to have been concluded on the 1st of May; but we do not think it probable, that if that had been the case, that information could have been received of it at Teneriffe on the ninth of May, the day on which the brig set sail.
The Philadelphia Gazette states the owner of the Flying fish, who, it appears was on board at the time of capture, to have behaved with great politeness to the captain, officers and passengers. Mr. Robertson mate of the Mount Vernon, was offered 3,000 dollars and to be made prize master of the next American ship the privateer should take, if he would remain on board the privateer—which he refused. The British would have commanded his services at a cheaper rate. Impression is an expeditions and effectual mode of procuring hands, and then money is not given to encourage the impressed to the duty, but punishment inflicted if they fail.
It appears that Mr. Paris, has another privateer schooner cruising in concert that is gone to the eastward to look for such ships as sailed from Boston or New-York. Aurora.
By the pilot who returned yesterday from the brig Mary belonging to Mr. Leamy, we have the pleasure to hear, the brig got out in safety on Friday morning last, but that the Flying Fish privateer was then cruising without the Capes, and seen to board several vessels outward bound, and one of them, name unknown, supposed to be captured.
In consequence of the foregoing information, we are sorry to add, that we understand the public insurance offices have refused to underwrite several vessels, but at such premiums, as to prevent the outward bound ships, for British ports from sailing. The ship Philadelphia, which put back some days ago, in consequence of the information given by Captain Dominik, is still waiting for orders at Reedy Island.
Just as this paper was going to press information was received that the privateer Flying Fish, was spoke with on the 12th instant about 20 leagues off the capes, steering southward and eastward, under easy sail; by capt. Brown, of the ship Lavina, just arrived from Liverpool.—This fact contradicts what has been said of the Flying Fish having orders to take every American vessel bound to or from British ports. (Philad. Gaz.)
The alarm spread in consequence of the idea conceived, that the French privateers might have received orders to capture American vessels bound to British ports, had such an effect, for two or three days past, as nearly to prevent our outward bound shipping from sailing; and it had still a further effect with the insurance offices, to prevent their underwriting. The apprehension of some have however since subsided, and the underwriters, we learn, are again on as usual. (Risley's Register.)
Capt. Latimer, arrived on Thursday from Jeremie, which port he left the 5th instant, states, that the British forces have been defeated at St. Lucie.
Lexington, July 9.
Every honest man must be pleased to learn that the court of Spain has agreed to restore the property of the French residents, so meanly, or rather so villainously seized on as the declaration of war.
Yesterday being the anniversary of the declaration of American independence, was celebrated here with all the enthusiasm which an event so important to our country would naturally inspire. Early in the morning the different volunteer corps assembled; and after some manoeuvres which reflected the highest honor on the officers and soldiers, they retired in a body, accompanied by a great number of the most respectable citizens, to the Sycamore Grove, where an excellent dinner had been prepared for the occasion. The importance of the occasion, the pleasing recollections which it recalled, the fineness of the day, and the general spirit of joy and festivity, rendered this one of the most interesting scenes we have witnessed. No personal animosity, no illiberal system of politics, interrupted the general joy: they felt and acted like free men, and with exulting hearts and applauding hands, joined in drinking the following toasts: After which the troops returned to town and fired three volleys.
1. The day and all who honor it. 2. The Republic of France. 3. The Republics of Batavia and Geneva. 4. The patriots of America—May they never cease from their endeavors to promote the welfare of their country. 5. Kosciuszko and the patriots of Poland. 6. The militia of the United

States—May their military ardor prove to tyrants that citizens are the proper guardians of national honour.
 7. The legion of the United States.  8. Peace with honour to all the nations of the earth.  9. Equal liberty through the world.  10. Agriculture and her handmaid commerce.  11. May national wealth never be sacrificed to individual emolument.  12. The president of the United States.  13. Confusion to all combinations against the rights of man.  14. The Spanish treaty.  15. The memory of those who have died for the liberties of their country.  16. The Patriots of 1776. 
At an early hour the company retired—a splendid ball concluded the scene; where the citizen soldiers recounted the pleasures, and in the smiles of beauty forgot the fatigues of the day.

HAMBURGH, April 22. Letter from Stockholm dated April 18.
Information is just received here, that the empress of Russia has marched an army to the borders of Finland and ordered her fleet to be fitted out; the king of Sweden is unacquainted with the design of the empress in taking this measure, but has given immediate orders for his army in Sweden and in Finland immediately to prepare for war. He has also ordered to be fitted out his large and small fleets. The Russian army is supposed to be 600,000 men strong.
Another letter of the same date. The courier, which our ambassador Baron van Steilingk, has forwarded to Petersburg giving information of the preparations which are there making for war, was sent from Petersburg on the 29th of March. The orders which he gives to the commander in chief of Finland are, that the whole army of that province shall repair to its borders, in order to defend it against any attack which may be made upon it.

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 manufacturing Duck, must be so forcibly striking 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 in the sales of the tickets as will in a short time justify their appointing 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, W. HENRY, J. HAWKINS. Managers.
** Any person purchasing 20 tickets, shall have a credit until the Lottery is drawn.
Twenty Dollars reward.
