A Scheme of Chances of Insurance
On the Lottery authorised by Law for raising 2250 dollars, for the Lexington Lodge, No 25; to raise the same sum for the purpose of repairing the streets building stone bridges, paving, &c. the town of Lexington.
THE trustees of the town of Lexington, as the representatives of the inhabitants, submit the following scheme to their constituents, and to the citizens of the state at large.
The inhabitants of the town, whether merchants, tradesmen or mechanics, and the farmers, planters and labourers of the country mutually depend upon, and assist each other. The inhabitants of the town have something to dispose of to the cultivator of the land, which he cannot manufacture for himself at the same price; on the other hand, as his occupation prevents him from sharing by his own labor in the field, the produce of the country, he is compelled to receive in return, for what he has furnished to the husbandman, that produce, either in the article itself, or the price of it.
These observations are verified by the great rise in the value of landed property adjacent to the town of Lexington, so inferior to the rise of property of the same description in other parts of the state, which can only be accounted for by the rapid improvement and increase of population in the town.
To the citizens of the town of Lexington, the trustees suggest that with the sums authorized by law to be collected and appropriated by them, the proceeds of seven years taxes will be insufficient to build stone bridges, to make sewers for carrying off the water, to sink wells and erect pumps (the necessity of which has been evidenced by the late calamity by fire) and to make such other repairs, as are necessary for the health, safety and convenience of their fellow-citizens. What purpose the temporary repairs heretofore made, have answered, which have even exceeded the amount of their funds, every citizen can determine.
To the citizens of the state at large, they suggest that all increase of population is an increase of wealth; and that the increase of inhabitants who are employed in trade, merchandise or manufactures, and who do not cultivate the earth, must increase the demand for the necessaries of life, and the competition of purchasers for a foreign market; and that the proposed improvement of the town is the most likely way to procure such increase of population.
The true and communication between the town and the country, resembles the circulation of the blood, it is first impelled to the heart, and from thence driven to warm and invigorate the most extreme parts.
The scheme they propose is, that they will issue the same number of chances of insurance, as there are tickets in the Lexington Lodge lottery, with the same numbers, and at the same price, and they will pay to the holder of a chance of the same number, as a ticket which shall draw a prize in that lottery, the same sum which the fortunate holder of the ticket shall be entitled to. The fortunate holders of chances of insurance, to be subject as the fortunate holders of tickets in that lottery, to a deduction of fifteen per centum.

GENOA, Feb. 12.
The Neapolitan squadron, which hitherto had been joined with the British fleet, are returned to Naples with a great number of their crews sick on board. It is expected they will be replaced by a fresh squadron.
According to the treaty of peace lately concluded between England and Algiers, the latter are permitted to convey their prizes into the ports of Corsica. The Vice-Roy of this kingdom pays 179,000. to the Dey for releasing the Corsican slaves, retained in Algiers. The Dey has received a beautiful Chebeck of 18 guns, as a present from the English.
FRANKFORT, Feb. 23.
A great number of cavalry coming from Austria, passed through this town the day before yesterday, on their way to join the army on the Rhine, having a great number of horses for it.
Two messengers from the British ambassador at Lausanne, and another from Turin, have passed on their way to London.
Advices from Munich mention, that the states of Bavaria have offered three millions and a half of florins to the elector, to assist him in establishing an army of 30,000 men, 18,000 of which are to join the Austrian troops at the opening of the next campaign.
There is a report, that a convention of the states of the empire will be formed at Mannheim; the deputies to which are also mentioned, namely, Baron Hohenenthal for the court of Saxonia, and Count Sallern for the elector of Bohemia.
Much has been said in our papers of a report of peace circulating at Vienna on the 13th, the accounts from whence say, that the tripartite alliance of the courts of Vienna, Petersburg and London, has made a very great impression on the present government of France, and induced them to lower their demands in some degree. It is said that the last courier from Paris, with dispatches from our minister Dagelem, at that place, has brought with him more moderate terms of peace. We cannot speak with any certainty on this head, although some of our politicians pretend, that the plan, for a pacification is already made, agreeably to which the English as well as the French make mutual restitution of all conquests. Thus far it may be relied on, that the correspondence between our court and several foreign ones, is at present uncommonly frequent: couriers are daily arriving, while others are despatched.
The forced loan in Alsace, is levied by execution, at present.
The report, stating that the French had made proposals for the renewal of the armistice for three months longer, has hitherto not been confirmed.
HAMBURG, Feb. 19.
The cabinet of Madrid and Lisbon, had, some time since concerted a close alliance for the mutual defence of the independence of both kingdoms against foreign assumptions.
The danger of an attack from England to which this step might probably expose Portugal, delayed for some time this great political stroke, but all the difficulties will now be removed: and the necessary means concerted in order to enable the Portuguese court to assume a firm attitude towards the British government. This is the real cause of the formidable armaments of Spain by land and by sea, her fleets and armies are ready to defend Portugal against an invasion from that quarter.
There was once a time when imperious necessity forced the house of Braganza to sacrifice every thing to the protection of Great Britain against the overgrowing power of Spain, but this time is over, Spain and Portugal are now united by the ties of kindred and their common interests. The counsellors of
the prince of Brazil, did not in vain call his attention upon the splendor of Portugal, and the object state she is reduced to, since her treaties with England her colonies decayed, her commerce vanished, agriculture was no longer an object of profit and the natives enslaved in the mines of Brazil to fill the treasuries of the English merchants. From that time Portugal deserved better the name of a tributary province of Great Britain than that of an independent state. Portugal had nothing to do with the present contest in Europe, but her connection with England forced her to take a share in the war, and a very considerable one in the disasters attending it, for according to an exact statement of the losses of the Portuguese merchants from 1794 to October 1795, amount to twenty millions of Reales, the costs of naval armaments not included.
The army of Pichegru which by its disorderly behavior occasioned the late checks of the French, is completely re-organized; almost all the officers are dismissed and re-placed, by those who were formerly driven away as Jacobins.
The new acquisitions of Austria in Poland contain according to the late census taken, by order of the Emperor, 267 towns and boroughs, 4905 villages, 151,113 families and 1,106,178 inhabitants.
LONDON, March 7.
Last night a vessel arrived at Dover, from Calais, from which a foreign gentleman and another were landed, the former of whom immediately took passage for London. The conjecture was, how true we cannot say, that he was charged with dispatches from Paris for our ministers. We received by this vessel, a Monitor of the third rate. It contains little that is interesting or important. The council seems to be occupied in discussions of some length upon the motion for admitting into the legislative body, 7 members of the late National Convention.
In the sitting of the 11th Ventose (March 1) two commissioners were appointed by the council of Five Hundred, one to present a plan of police to prevent strangers from flocking to Paris.
The Frenchman who arrived the other day from Paris, at the office of the secretary of state for foreign department, brought dispatches to lord Grenville, sealed with the National Seal of France. Their contents of course, have not yet transpired.
Sir John Warren, that active and admirable officer it is said, is again to have the command of a squadron of frigates, to cruise off the coast of France.
St. JOHN's, (Antigua,) Feb. 15.
Yesterday evening an American Indian commanded by a capt M'Alister, came to an anchor in our road, being in want of water: by her we have learnt that the British forces in India have reduced Batavia, & all the Dutch settlements in that part of the world.
PORTSMOUTH, April 6.
A LETTER is received in town from Capt. John Seaward dated at Havre Feb. 20 which informs that there were 230 Sail of Vessels wrecked on the Coast of France, the past season, and that chief of them were American vessels, that the shores presented the melancholy spectacle of being covered with dead bodies.
BOSTON, April 15.
GOOD NEWS.
It is a fact, that nearly 30,000 Dollars in specie were received in Galen, Eddy, from London, and landed in this town on Wednesday.
And we are assured, 12,000 sterling, in hard money, is shipped on board the Minerva, Scott, for this place.
The balance of the trade be-
tween England and America, certainly at present, and has been for some time favorable to America. All the above monies, are the returns of outward cargoes.
PHILADELPHIA, April 20.
The following Memorial was agreed upon at the meeting of the Merchants and Traders of this city on Friday last.
To the honorable the house of Representatives of the United States, The memorial of the Subscribers, Merchants and Traders of Philadelphia,
Respectfully represents,
THAT they have waited, with anxious expectation, to see the necessary measures adopted by your honorable house for carrying into operation the treaty concluded between the United States and Great Britain and are now seriously alarmed lest those measures should be further delayed or entirely omitted.
Under that impression, they deem it incumbent on them to represent, the property of the Merchants of the United States, amounting upon a moderate computation, to more than five millions of dollars have been taken from them by the subjects of Great Britain, the restitution of which they verily believe depends, in a great measure, upon the completion of the treaty on our part.
Independent of this immense sum they have embarked the principal part of their remaining fortunes in vessels and adventures, the safety of which will, as they apprehend, be materially affected by a refusal or neglect on the part of the United States to comply with stipulations so solemnly entered into— Besides their particular interest as Merchants and Traders, they feel an interest in common with their fellow-citizens of other descriptions, in the preservation of peace, on which the prosperity of this country depends: and they should deem themselves wanting in that spirit and independence which ought ever to characterize a free people, if they forbore, on so interesting an occasion as the present, to express their wishes and expectations. — They therefore, with all due respect for the Representatives of the People of the United States, beg leave to recommend that no partial considerations of policy may influence their decision on this important question; but that the faith, the honor, and the interest of the nation may be preserved by making the necessary provisions for carrying the treaty into fair and honorable effect.
NORFOLK, April 12.
ATTACK ON LEOGANE.
The British fleet sailed from Port-au-Prince on the 21st March, consisting of 3 sail of the line, 3 frigates, 1 sloop of war, 4 letters of marque, 3 gun boats, and a number of transports having on board 4000 troops; on the 22d, got possession of the town of Leogane, after six hours heavy fire, which they immediately burnt. On the 24th a ship of war arrived at the Mole with the information that Leogane was not tenable, and before capt. S's departure from the Mole information was received that the French had re-taken the place and put all the men they could find to the sword.
PITTSBURGH April 30.
We hear by the way of the Illinois that the inhabitants within the United States Territory, near Detroit, have moved off, or are preparing to move to the Canada side of the lake, and Detroit river; and also, within these two days, from presqu'isle we hear that the inhabitants at the garrison of Niagara are preparing to move: All much chagrined at the Treaty with the United States.
Lexington, May 14.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Congress to his friend in this place, dated April 20.
"As to news from this place, little that is satisfactory can be expected, from the great difference of opinion among the members of Congress, and between the House of Representatives and the President.
"Appropriations were made without difficulty for carrying the Spanish, Algerine and Indian treaties into effect, and the bills now lie before the Senate—But the British treaty has been the subject of debate for near two weeks, and no determination has yet taken place—and I verily believe no appropriation will be made this session for that purpose.—There is a great battle here, some, for and some against the treaty.—The city is nearly divided."
"The British continue to take our vessels if bound to or from a French or Dutch Port and also impress our seamen wherever they find them."

FOR SALE.
THE FOLLOWING LANDS, viz.
On the Ohio River, in four Tracts.
The First, Called Round Bottom, is about 1 1/2 miles below Wheeling, a little above Capenon, and opposite to Pipe creek; bounded by the river in a circular form for 2 miles, and 120 poles, containing 1584.
Second, is the first large bottom below the mouth of the Little Kanawha, beginning 3 or 4 miles therefrom, and about 12 or 15 miles below Marietta—its breadth on the river is 5 miles and 120 poles, and contains 2314.
Third, is about 20 miles below the mouth of the Little Kanawha, being the 4th large bottom on the S. E. side of the river, below the Little Kanawha—it is bounded by the river 3 miles and 52 poles, and is furnished (as I have been informed) with an excellent mill seat, contents 2448.
Fourth, is the next large bottom (on the same side of the river) and a little above the Great Bend thereof; its breadth on the river is 5 miles and 70 poles, and contains 4295.
Total on the Ohio, S. E. side thereof 9744.
On the Great Kanawha, in four Tracts.
The First, is on the West side of the river, beginning within 2 or 3 miles of its confluence with the Ohio; about the same distance from the town of Mount Pleasant, and about 6 or 8 from Gallipolis. It borders on the river 17 miles and 51 poles, and contains 10933.
Second, is on the East side of the river a little higher up, and bounded thereby 12 miles and 227 poles, containing 7276.
Third, is at the confluence of the Kanawha and Cole rivers (West side of the former) and in the fork thereof, bounded by the two rivers 5 miles and 88 poles, content 2000.
Fourth, is on the East side, nearly opposite to the last mentioned, 6 miles and 19 poles, contents 2000.
Total on the Kanawha 22209.
As it is not more preferable than it is wished, that all who are inclined to become purchasers of these lands will themselves, or by agents in whom they can confide, examine them critically; nothing more will be said, relative to them; than that they may be considered as the cream of the country in which they lie, being the richest interval lands on the two rivers, to the extent that they have been enumerated, being in the aggregate 57 miles. That they were surveyed before any settlements, or grants of land were made therein. That all of them are presented in my name, many years ago, since near 25; and that the titles to them are indisputable.
In addition to the above, the following Tracts are for sale also; viz.
On the Little Miami, upper side, acres 830.
About 7 miles up the said Miami 977.
And 10 miles from the mouth thereof 1235.
Total on the Little Miami 2042.
In Kentucky: On the Rough branch of Green River, are two tracts adjoining each other, one containing three, the other 2000 acres 5000.
Of these five last mentioned tracts I have no other knowledge than what is derived from the reports of the surveyors, made on the premises; some 8, & others 12 years since; which certify that they are lands of the first quality. The three first are near to, if not adjoining (the river only separating them) the grant made to Judge Symns and others, between the two Miamies; and lying in the neighbourhood of Cincinnati and Fort Washington, cannot, from their situation, (if the quality of the soil is correctly stated) be of otherwise than valuable. Those lying on Green river in Kentucky, besides being fertile and well-watered, are said to contain an extensive and valuable bank of Iron Ore; the working of which would be of public utility as well as private advantage. And moreover, as the population in that part of the state is increasing rapidly, the value of these lands must increase proportionally.
The terms on which all the Lands herein offered for sale, may be purchased, are
One fourth of the cost to be paid when the bargains are concluded; and the conveyances shall be made.
The other three fourths in five years, with interest, annually and punctually paid.
A mortgage upon the premises, will be taken, for securing payment of the unpaid principal sum, at the end of the above term of five years; and unquestionable security for the punctual payment of the interest on the day, in every year that it shall become due, at the place of my residence; or to any agent I may appoint; or to be deposited in such bank, or banks as shall be agreed. As these lands, particularly on the Ohio and Great Kanawha, are unquestionably among the most valuable on the Western wa-
ters; and I am willing to allow time to exact replevin, I will enter into no contract for any part of them until the first of September next; but will receive proposals at any time previous thereto. On that day, a preference will be given to the person or persons who shall have made the highest offers; provided they are adequate to the real value of the land, and the terms herein mentioned are strictly entered into, and compliance therewith is secured.
The plats, and surveyors reports of all these lands, may be seen by any who are inclined to become adventurers in the purchase of any, or all of them by applying to Mr. DANDRIDGE.

1779 Prizes. 3555 Blanks. 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 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 sale 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, } Managers. J. HAWKINS.
Any person purchasing 20 tickets, shall have a credit until the Lottery is drawn.
This is to forewarn all persons from purchasing two hundred acres of land from Charles Sumption, part of a two hundred and twenty-seven acre survey, lying in Greene county, on Little Barren river, he having obtained a deed for the same fraudulently. Given under my hand this 15th of April 1796. JOHN ROW.

A bay mare, about fourteen and a half hands high, eight or nine years old, a small star in her forehead, if branded forgotten, one foot white, had on a common size horse bell, suspended by a new leather collar and branded R. C.—Also a white horse, about the same height of the mare, and two or three years old, if branded forgotten, a blemish in one eye from a late stroke, both mare and horse in tolerable plight, trots and canters, and thin shoes lately taken off. It is supposed they are on Hickman creek, or the Kentucky river above the mouth of said creek, as they were seen not far from Mr. Ballenger's shortly after they strayed, and as the mare was once the property of some person who then lived on Hickman, and of whom Mr. Edward S. Thomas had her in fall 1792.—And also a bay filly, two years old, neither docked nor branded, no white, and went away about the 28th March last. Whoever delivers said horses, or either of them, to the subscriber, or secures them, or either of them, so that he gets them again, shall receive for the three, twenty dollars, or fifteen for the mare and horse, and five for the filly, if delivered, or half thereof for information and securing.
