BEING assured of legal assistance, the supervisor of revenue for the district of Ohio, has it in charge from the Treasury department, to make a strenuous effort to enforce the collection of the duties arising from distilled spirits, stills, &c. And is instructed that the first demands ought to be made of those delinquents whose example in opposition to the law has been most influential. If they shall manifest a disposition to submit to the law, by complying with any formal injunctions before omitted, and shall agree to pay the duties which shall have accrued, for two years prior to the first day of July 1796, the supervisor ought to settle with them on these terms, without coercing the penalties, or the former arrears. If however opposition is made to a compromise on these principles, suits ought to be commenced both for the whole arrears, and for all penalties which have been incurred. "If a disposition to a compromise shall not be perceived among the influential non-compliers with the law, suits ought to be commenced against this class of men generally; with respect to men of inferior consideration and influence, suits may be suspended until further instructions are received. And it is farther particularly recommended,—that the Supervisor carry the preceding plan of operations into a prompt and complete execution, in a frank, candid, and conciliating spirit, by himself and his collectors." To which the Supervisor takes this occasion to add,—that as temperance and forbearance have ever been primary considerations with him in the execution of his office; it is with pleasure he communicates the foregoing benevolent propositions on the part of the government of the United States, and flatters himself, that the people to whom they are made, will see in them, as well the indulgence of the government, as the indispensable necessity of enforcing the execution of the law, against all opposition.

BOSTON, April 20, Consular office of the French republic, for the States of New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, R. Island, and Con- necticut.
The undersigned consul of the French republic in Boston, declares, that the piece published in this day's Centinel, 30th Germinal (19th of April 1797, O. S.) under the title of an Ex- tract from a pamphlet now in circu- lation in France published by order of the Directory, and addressed to the people, signed Hoche,* Is absolutely false;— That the government of the French re- public never avowed, but incessantly withstood the principles which this despicable writer supposes them to pursue. In those countries that have been conquered by the victorious arms of the Republic, religion, persons, and property have been invariably re- spected.
The undersigned proposes to take the order of his government, for pro- secuting the author of this false pub- lication which it would be needless to demonstrate the absurdity of.
The good citizens dispise erroneous opinions, that may spring from party spirit and hatred towards a republi- can form of government; but if un- der pretence of the liberty of the press, the community were to tolerate the insertion of false pieces, given as au- thentic ones, these forgers would per- haps soon emit bank bills, under the selfsame cloak.
MOZARD.
Boston, Germinal 30th, 5th year of the French Repub- lic, (April 19th, 1797, O. S.)
*The publication alluded to is as fol- lows.
Courageous Citizens,
“England is the richest country in the world and we give it up to you to be plundered. You shall march to the capital of that haughty nation. You shall plunder their national bank of its immense heaps of gold.—You shall seize upon all public and private pro- perty—upon their warehouses—their magazines—their stately mansions— and gilded palaces; and you shall re- turn to your own country loaded with the spoils of the enemy.
This is the only method left to bring them to our terms. When they are humbled, then we shall dictate what terms are proper, and they must accept them.
Behold what our Brave army in Ita- ly are doing—they are enriched with the plunder of that country? and they will be more so when Rome bestows what, if she does not, will be taken by force.—Your country, brave citizens, will not demand a particle of the rich- es you shall bring from Great-Britain. Take what you please—it shall be all your own. Arms and ammunition you shall have, and vessels to carry you o- ver. Once landed you will soon find the way to London.
HOCHÉ.
April 21.
Yesterday a prosecution was com- menced by the French consul, resident in this town, against the editor of the Centinel, for a publication in his pa- per of Wednesday, signed “Hoche”— avowed to have been originally co- pied from a pamphlet, caused to be printed and circulated in France, by the directory. As published in the Centinel, however, we know it was taken from a New-York paper re- ceived by Tuesday's post. Mr Russel, therefore, can have little to dread from a judicial investigation of the af- fair.
April 28.
Extract of a letter from New-York, dated April 26.
“The British Packet failed yester- day from the Hook, and a French cor- vette of 14 guns and 76 men, which has been lying here some time, imme- diately followed. The pilot is just come up, and informs, that the packet was not above four miles ahead, when he left the cervette last evening, so that there is no doubt but she must be taken, having only six guns and thirty men.
The following article having been frequently mentioned in the late ac- counts concerning the bankruptcy of England, we published it from the Morning Post of the 5th March— Brook Watson the present Lord May- or of London was well known in the United States, having amassed an immense fortune as commissary to the British army during our revoluti- on, to which he has added another rail-
lion as commissary in Flanders du- ring 1793 and 94, the time the British had troops on the continent of Europe.
MANSION HOUSE.
London, Feb. 27, 1797.
At a meeting of Merchants, Bank- ers, &c. held here this day to consider the steps which it may be proper to take to prevent embarrassments to pub- lic credit, from the effects of any ill founded or exaggerated alarms, and to support it with the utmost exertions at the present important conjuncture;
The Lord Mayor in the Chair.
Resolved unanimously,
That we, the undersigned, being highly sensible how necessary the pre- servation of public credit is at this time, do most readily declare, that we will not refuse to receive Bank Notes in payment of any sum of money to be paid to us, and we will use our utmost endeavours to make all our payments in the same manner.
BROOK WATSON.
The resolution lies for signing at the following places:—London Ta- vern, Bishopsgate-Street; Crown and Anchor, Strand; St. Alban's, St. Al- ban's Street; Three Crown coffee house, Three Crown Court, Borough; and at Lloyd's Coffee House.
MANSION HOUSE, March 2, 1797.
In addition to the two thousand and six respectable names inserted in the Times, Oracle and other papers, we have the pleasure to give the follow- ing, who have since signed the above resolution. Should any name be o- mitted, the public may be assured of having a correct list of all the sub- scribers alphabetically arranged.
[Here follows a list of 400 names of merchants and traders, and others of the city of London.]
The issue of the present bankruptcy is not within the power of calculation —but the calamities that must inevita- bly be the consequence would be im- mensely reduced by a peace; with- out considering that every day's con- tinuance of the war—every additional issue of paper—and above all the pow- er granted to individuals to issue pa- per on their own credit as a medium of circulation, must multiply the dif- ficulties and render a restitution of cre- dit more impracticable; but the effect which the rise in the price of specie must have on the circulating coin of other nations—is not among the least objects of consideration—since the same causes which have aided to produce the embarrassment in England, may if di- rected in any degree against any other country produce similar effects on the prosperity and credit of neighbouring nations; prior to the late defalcation, the coin of Great Britain, bore a pre- mium of about twenty per cent at Hamburg—or in other words En- glish Guineas of 21 shillings sterling, were purchased for from twenty-five to twenty-eight shillings value; this temptation to speculation, produced a considerable export of English coin— the government had by active emiss- aries obtained information of the fact and in the course of the year 1796, de- tected packages of specie, concealed in hampers of earthenware, articles that are never unpacked at the custom houses—the money seized was never claimed, but was supposed to be the property of an eminent Jew Banking House; the variety of means that pre- sent themselves for the exportation of such a portable article will naturally enough suggest the likelihood of the game having been continued.
To apply these circumstances to a possible case—persons have been known to send dollars to England not long after the commencement of the pre- sent war, from various parts of the United States, merely upon a specula- tion of profit by the enhanced price of bullion of only two per cent—how much greater is the temptation at this time, when the British government having raised the price of dollars 12 per cent, the speculator may expect to obtain at least from 6 to 8.
As an expedient for the invitation of coin in Great Britain, it might be con- sidered as likely to be productive, but as its Bank Paper, has suffered an ac- tual depreciation to the full amount of the enhancement on the bullion, and that goods will obtain a pro- portionate enhancement of price; and if of the one must operate as a check on the speculation in the other, since no coin can pass in England at en- hanced price, which shall not have passed through the mint,
PHILADELPHIA, April 26.
There is so much moderation and good sense in the following extract from an admired writer, and it seems so well calculated to for- ten the asperities with which some of our contemporaries speak of certain rival nations, that we offer no apology for its insertion:—
“National prejudice is by some call- ed a virtue, but the virtue of it con- sists only in the proper application and moderate degree of it. It must be confessed a happy attachment, which can reconcile the Laplander to his freezing snows, and the African to his scorching sun. There are some portions of the globe so partially en- dowed by Providence with climate and productions, that were it not for this prejudice to the natale solum , the greater part of the habitable world would be a scene of envy and repining. National predilection is in this sense a blessing, and perhaps a virtue; but if it operates otherwise than in the best sense of its definition, it perverts the judgment, and in some cases vitiates the heart. It is an old saying, that “charity begins at home,” but this is no reason it should not go abroad; a man should live with the world, as a citizen of the world; he may have a preference for a particular quarter or square, but he should have a general feeling for the welfare of the whole; and if in his rambles through this great city (the world) he may chance upon a man of different habit, lan- guage or complexion from his own, still he is a fellow citizen, a short so- journer in common with himself, sub- ject to the same wants, infirmities and necessities, and one that has a bro- ther's claim upon him for his charity, candor and relief. It were to be wished no traveller would leave his own country without these impres- sions, and it would be still better if all who live in it would adopt them.”
The individual who contributes one new idea to the mass of human know- ledge, must be regarded as the bene- factor of his country, and deserving the homage of posterity. Ignorance is the grave of public virtue, and the destroyer of civil liberty. The arts and sciences advance the glory and happiness of a nation. Teach a people their moral relations, illumine their understandings, tear away the veil of error and delusion, and you render them warm and affectionate advocates of virtue and good government.
Inconstancy is the invariable com- panion of ignorance. The uninformed mind is under the arbitrary domi- nion of passion, which frequently tramples on the rights of humanity, which so often levels in the dust the noblest effort of the understanding. What permanency does that govern- ment possess, which is established over an ignorant and savage people? What security has the public constitution, when its guardians (the people) are incapable of determining, when it is violated and infringed by the hand of usurpation, and machinations of am- bition? An ignorant people, have, in all ages, and in all countries, been the easy victims of tyranny, and the ready slaves of demagogues and impostors. It is a truth deduced from the univer- sal history and experience of mankind, a truth drawn from the very constitu- tion of human nature, that no gov- ernment can be permanent and hap- py but that which is established on the enlightened reason of the people. Er- ror has no security for its duration; some day or other it is developed and detected, and every thing connected with it tumbles into ruin.—But truth is eternal; and when once grappled to the human mind, never can lose its hold. A free constitution, therefore, whose organization is consonant to the nature and fitness of things, whose in- fluence is exerted over a reasonable and enlightened people, is destined to last for ever. Unaffected by the tur- bulence of human passions, and unmo- ved by the restless agitation of ambi- tious schemes.
If in some countries ignorance, has proved a medium through which the people were oppressed, degraded and enslaved, that very oppression, degra- dation and enthralment, have been in- strumental in the hands of daring us- urpers, to dethrone princes and con- quise nations.
In Asia, what is the condition of so- ciety? Ignorance and slavery are uni- versal, and every sovereign trembles in his elevation. Not a day, not an hour of his life, can he feel himself secure. He trembles at every sound, and shrinks from every shadow. His fears and his agitations are not with- out sufficient reason; he sees, in the
history of his country, how many prin- ces, how many rulers have been sacra- ficed and destroyed. The very throne on which he is seated is dyed with human blood. How can he regard himself in safety?
What was it that brought Charles I. to the scaffold? He presumed too far on the ignorance of the people; and Cromwell advantaged himself of that very ignorance, and embued his hands in the blood of his sovereign.
Fortunate Americans! your consti- tution is founded on the basis of na- ture; it is supported by wisdom and virtue: it is destined to be lasting and happy. Favor the cause of instruction, and you multiply the sources of national felicity. Let your children be well educated, and vice will be de- prived of its malignity. Let this be the common concern of society and of parents; and you improve the condi- tion of man, and benefit the cause of morality.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
A gentleman arrived in town on Wednesday last, who left Natchez on the 20th April, gives the following interesting information, viz:
That the Governor of Natchez (Gibson) has issued his proclamation, informing the inhabitants of that district, that the Spanish posts on the Mississippi will not be delivered into the possession of the United States. That Mr. Elliot will not be permitted to run the line between the United States and the Spanish territory. That the Spaniards are repairing their fortifications at the different posts on the Mississippi, except the Chickasaw Bluffs, which they have evacuated and demolished. That an embargo is laid on all the shipping at New-Orleans. That a large body of French troops are on the island of Cuba, supposed to be destined for the Mississippi. That Mr. Elliot has pitched his Marquee within about 600 yards of the Garrison at Natchez, at which place the American standard was hoisted; that the Governor had ordered it to be taken down, which orders were not attended to, in consequence of which, a piece of artillery is leveled at the Marquee every evening. That Mr. Elliot has forwarded dispatches to the Executive of the United States, by a Mr. Knox, (in whose company the gentleman who gives this information travelled from Natchez). That the Governor of Natchez, sent men to way-lay them and intercept the dispatches; but having previous information thereof, they avoided them by traveling through the woods. That a war is likely to take place between the Creek and Chickasaw Indians; the former having lately stole a number of horses from the latter, who are busily employed at present in fortifying themselves.
A gentleman who left Port William (at the mouth of Kentucky) on Sunday last informs, that all the Indians that have been encamped in the neighborhood of that place, and who have traded there for nine months past, left their camps last week, and returned to their Nation, having been sent for to go to war, but would not inform the inhabitants against whom.
The information received from different parts of the country, respecting the damage done by the Pigeons, on the fields of Corn, Hemp &c. is truly alarming—we do not learn that it is in the recollection of any man, that ever Pigeons were known to take up Corn &c. by the roots, in the manner they are doing at present; many extensive fields have been entirely destroyed; nor is it probable their ravages will shortly cease, as an infinite number of young ones are hatched and reared in different parts of this state, of which two broods have already been brought to perfection.
From a Philadelphia paper of April 28.
After mentioning the treaty with the pope, the Star (a London paper of March 11,) says—
Thus has Buonaparte completed the conquest of Italy, and imperial Rome has only been able to save herself by a timely submission to the terms which he has been pleased to dictate: what these terms are we are not informed, the directory having not yet published them: but, according to the journals, the Pope has agreed to pay the Republic 30 millions: he has made the formal, complete and perpetual renunciation of Avignon and the Comtat Venaissin. He has also ceded to France all the pictures and statues, and other objects of art, which the French army have found on the scene of their conquests in his territory; and he has also ceded to the Republic Bologna and Ferrara, with the whole of Romagna. We give these only however, as the unauthenticated rumours of the Paris prints. They are extremely improbable, and we dare say will turn out to be false. In some of the small papers we find also the following letter from Buonaparte:
Tolentino, 1 Ventose, Feb. 19.
Citizen Directors,
The commission of learned men has made a good harvest at Ravenna, Rimini, Pesaro, and Cona, Loreto, and Perugia; the produce will be immediately expedited to Paris. With this, joined to all that shall be sent to you from Rome, we shall have all that is beautiful in Italy, with the exception of a few pieces of art at Turin and Naples."
(Signed) "BUONAPARTE."
The French army in Italy have fraternized, as our readers may well suppose, with the Republic of San Marino. The envoy of Buonaparte made a very warm and kind address to the magistrates of that illustrious republic to which they made an answer of suitable dignity, and concluded by desiring to form an alliance with their brother republic.

MR. BRADFORD:
AS I understand some things are suggested injurious to my character respecting an uncommon sort of paper made in my mill, I think it necessary to observe, that a stranger applied for paper, as near as I can describe, of the colour and thickness of the white wrappers on my reams of paper, rather thicker than our common printing paper, and by no means resembling any bank bills now in circulation that I have seen; a sample of which paper I herewith send you, and may also be seen at my house in Geo. Town. He requested no secrecy—the paper was made and finished without my presence, and that publicly, which can be proved by several. I am ready to make any kind of paper that can be made in my mill, in the same public manner, for those who will give me a good price—but will keep no secrets. I privately have sent a sheet of the paper to North Carolina, where I have had some reasons to believe it is intended to be used. The paper was stole out of the mill, but I had previously got the worth of it in hand before it was begun.

Note Bene. Those who have been entrusted with Tickets to sell, are desired to settle, and account therefor, on or before the first day of June next.
Mr. Bradford,
I WISH to inform those gentlemen who have been so kind as to purchase of my paper, and the public in general, that I am under the disagreeable necessity of raising the price of that article; because, the rags which are collected by my rag-man, costs me about fifty per cent. more than they did when the prices were first established. The price of labour and other things necessary for prosecuting the business are also higher. The extreme difficulty of the seasons, the works standing long idle and dry, occasions loss of time and great expense in repairing;—For these reasons hope the public will be reconciled to the present prices, and continue the encouragement they have hitherto given to so useful a factory.

PROPOSALS
For Publishing by subscription, A NEAT EDITION OF THE KENTUCKY LAWS.
IT is proposed, that this edition shall contain only the laws that are of a general nature, and will consist of the laws lately revised, and to be revised; there will be no more given of local or private laws, than their titles and time of passage. From the best calculations, it will extend to about six hundred pages.
CONDITIONS.
 This work will be printed in two Numbers, large Octavo, with a neat letter, on good paper, and bound in boards. The first Number to contain all the laws of a General Nature already revised.  The price to Subscribers will be Three Dollars; one half to be paid at the time of subscribing, and the balance on the delivery of the Second Number.  The work will be put to press as soon as five hundred copies are subscribed for, and the first Number completed with all possible dispatch; the second will be delayed until the revival is finished.  If the laws do not exceed five hundred Pages, there will be added an appendix, containing an Abstract of the Duties of a Justice of the Peace, taken from the most Approved Authors, with the different forms of process in that office; as well as the most useful forms of conveyancing, &c. There will also be added, a copious index, whereby any article may be easily found by inspection; and the Constitution of this State and the United States will be prefixed.  Those who subscribe for twelve copies shall have one extra. 
As the form in which the Acts of Assembly have been printed, renders them not only unwieldy to carry about, but also more liable to injury and therefore less durable; and as it is probable that the general laws will hereafter remain a considerable length of time with little or no alteration; it is the object of this work to remedy those evils, by furnishing them in a portable form, and of durable materials.
JOHN BRADFORD.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
SONNET.
THE eastern sun its orient beams disclose, And the bright morn hath chas'd the lumbrous night; Mortals awake from their secure repose, And the shrill lark mounts its celestial height; The herdsman sounds, refresh'd by downy rest, O'er the enamel'd meads his cheerful way; Whilst the blue sky, in bright effulgence dress'd, Adds a fresh beauty to the solar ray.
Yet all unmov'd the rosy morn I view, The bright beam'd sun to me yields no delight; Unmov'd I see the sky's cerulean hue, Nor does the lark's sweet tones my ear invite.
All nature's beauties now to me are dead, Since with my JULIA's love, each joy is fled.
ORIGINAL ANECDOTE.
A gentleman offered a plantation for sale, & passed many encomiums on the quality of the soil, and the convenience of his improvements, to the person intending to purchase, who appeared inclined to all his recommendations—“ Besides,” said the seller, “ there is on my land a valuable horse mill;” “ Horse mill!” says the other, “ D—n the horse mill,”—“ O says the seller, it needs no dam, it don't go by water.”
