KENTUCKY GAZETTE.
[NUMB. XLI.]
S A T U R D A Y, JUNE 25, 1796.
To the Printer of the Kentucky Gazette.
SIR,
OBSERVING in your Gazette of Saturday last some objections to a doctrine which I had advanced in a preceding paper; I conceive it to be proper to make some farther observations on the subject; and though I do not wish to engage in a political controversy, I am happy in discussing the question (as far as it is requisite that I should discuss it at all) with a writer possessing the good sense & temper which is discovered in the communication signed 'Another Constitutionalists.'
There are four objections which he makes to the position that the members of the last Assembly are by the twenty-fourth section of the first article excluded for one year from the legislature and from the electoral body. I will examine them in order;—though not from any wish to establish the position, but merely with the view of investigating the truth. 1. It is observed by your correspondent that neither members of the Assembly nor electors, are in common or political language, styled officers. We are very prone to judge of the general import of words, from the idea formed at the moment in our own minds, by the use made of them in some particular instance. Fearing that I might be in the present case under a delusion of this kind; I turned over some pages, in which I expected to meet with the word in question, and accordingly found that in the constitution of New-York, section 25; in the old constitution of Pennsylvania, ch. 1, sec. 5, ch. 2, sec. 7, 18 and 23, and in the acts of Congress of 1789, chap. 1, sec. 2, the word officer or office is used with reference to the members of the legislative department. But I might have saved myself the trouble; for I perceive that in the very section of our own constitution which has led to the discussion, the word office is expressly applied to the place of a senator or representative. It is enacted, that they shall not within one year be appointed to any office, the emoluments of which were increased whilst they were in office.
2. The second objection is, that the compensation they receive is so small that it can only be considered as a reimbursement of their expenses, and not as an emolument. There would be considerable weight in this observation; could it be made apparent that there is any such pointed distinction as it implies between the word emolument and the words compensation, pay and wages, which are the terms used when speaking of their salary in the constitution, and in the act of Assembly lately passed respecting it. But I know of no authority for any distinction which would at all affect the present question. In fact strictly speaking, the pay which they receive is neither an emolument nor a compensation, if their loss of time be taken into the account: though it is to be considered that it is at any time in their power to render it a very adequate emolument. Did I conceive that your correspondent is a man attached to party, I would warn him of the consequences of the distinction which he makes, as it would be nearly as applicable to the case of the governor, and justify an opinion that the emoluments of his office were so far from being increased by the last legislature, that the additional salary they allow will not defray the additional expenses they impose.
3. The next objection (which I think was in some degree anticipated in my last) is that by extend-
ing to the members of the legislature the operation of the 24th section, we should render superfluous the clause which provides, that no alteration in their pay shall take effect during the existence of the legislature which make it. To this I would reply, that in an instrument of writing comprehending such a vast variety of particulars, framed in a popular assembly, altered and amended, no doubt, day after day, we may naturally expect some instances of repetition—some cases of particular provisions being made for objects which, notwithstanding, might have been safely left to the operation of more general regulations. And it is to be observed, that the sixth section of the second article directs that the compensation to the governor shall neither be increased nor diminished during the period for which he shall have been elected: which is as superfluous and unnecessary, as the clause which relates to the members of the Assembly.
4. It is farther contended, that the exclusion of members of the legislature for one year afterwards from the same office, in consequence of their increasing the salary connected with it, would in fact operate as a provision that there should be no alteration. I have not, it is true, a very minute knowledge of the characters which are scattered through every part of the state: but I cannot persuade myself that they are so attached to office, as to be ready to retain it at all events, and that, rather than abandon for a time the post of honour which they fill, they can make up their minds to any terms, however disadvantageous and forbidding.
But after all, I do not pretend to have a decided opinion as to the intention of the framers of our constitution. I know not of any legitimate method of ascertaining their intentions, than by having recourse to the instrument itself: and that, I think, by every fair rule of construction involves the legislative and executive officers in one common predicament.
I have thus endeavored to establish the existence of a certain constitutional regulation: but I would, by no means, be understood as maintaining the necessity or importance of it. The mind of a freeman revolts at any restrictions, not indispensable, upon the will of the people. All antecedent rules tending to circumscribe the judgment and conduct of the citizens when exercising their original rights, have an unfavourable effect upon the mind: they supersede private deliberation: they destroy the motives for the exercise of mental penetration: they repress the native vigour and energy of the mind, and exchange men for machines.
As to constitutional regulations in general, they will seldom be of material effect when there is any real occasion for them. Ingenuity and sophistry will always be at hand to explain them away, when it is found convenient to do so. When a people are debased, they must sink though they possess the best of constitutions. Whilst they are virtuous and enlightened, the shortest one will be sufficient. The surest way to make them virtuous and enlightened, is to impart a PRINCIPLE OF SELF-DEPENDENCE: it is to make them see and feel that every thing rests upon their own virtue and wisdom—that they must be the makers of their own fortune.
If, indeed, you are jealous of the people; if you shrink from the task of illuminating the public mind, and, as a substitute for know-
ledge, introduce the checks and balances of aristocracy: you must, no doubt, introduce other checks to fetter aristocracy itself. If, instead of instructing your family; you fix a tiger in your house to terrify them; you must, to be sure, procure a chain to save them from destruction. But let the tiger and the chain be rejected together. Let the great family of the people govern themselves; and it will be their interest to govern well. Let them be fairly represented, and acknowledge no checks but justice and truth. Their form of constitution will be short and simple: but it will be full enough and forcible enough to ensure their freedom so long as they merit it.
A CONSTITUTIONALIST. June 22, 1796.
LONDON, April 5.
THREE Hamburgh mails arrived yesterday, and Ministers received dispatches from the Courts of Vienna and Berlin. The letters and journals bring no intelligence whatever, with respect to peace or war, from which any conclusion can be drawn. Things remain precisely in the same state of alarming ambiguity as before; and we may therefore rest assured that whatever propositions may have been made, the French Directory have given them a decided negative.
They seem to be aware that since Mr. Pitt has had resort to scheme, of finance, as foreign to the established practice of England, as they are inconsistent with its true credit, or real situation begins to be understood; and the bank itself confesses the danger of our further continuance in this deplorable system.
Mr. Pitt must prepare himself for the emergency—all trade is suspended—all confidence at an end—all the money which used to go to the maintenance and support of commerce is now drawn within the vortex of a speculation in the funds, which threatens the superstructure itself with ruin. It is now for the minister to prove that he deserves the popularity which he enjoys—that he has not departed from the beaten course in vain, but has listened to a set of counsellors whose resources are equal to their ingenuity, and who have moderation to undertake no more than they are able to perform.
Mr. Boyd and the other gentlemen of the committee, appointed to enquire into the causes of the present scarcity of money, go up to Mr. Pitt this day, with several propositions upon which they have agreed. It will be a happy conference for England, if they can suggest the means of restoring the credit of their country. Sir James Sanderson makes the seventh member.
Letters by the Hamburgh mail, bring an account of a most important failure at Berlin. A great commercial house has stopped payment for seven millions of rix-dollars, above one million four hundred thousand pound sterling. The consequences of this are expected to be felt in a most alarming way at Hamburgh, which is now, through the wisdom of our ministers, become a counting house to London.
April 6.
A letter from Genoa dated the 6th ult. says that the people of the island of Sardinia have succeeded so far in their insurrection, that they have established themselves in every strong post, have declared themselves in a state of revolution, and have sent deputies to Paris to declare their attachment to the French people, and to solicit their
protection and assistance in framing a constitution on the principles of freedom.
Since the arrival of Salicetti at the French army in Italy, no one doubts their intention of renewing hostilities in that quarter, and of pushing their attack upon Piedmont and Lombardy with all possible vigour. This commissioner, known by the re-capture of Toulon, has left his place in the legislature to his suppliant, in order to direct this great expedition. His character for vigour, skill and resource is very high; and he is extremely popular with the army, which amounts to 600,000 men. It is supposed that they were prevented only from commencing the campaign, by a heavy fall of snow towards the end of February, and the extreme severity of the weather.
Letters have been received at the Hague, which mention that the French in the West-Indies have taken three British slave ships, with 1112 slaves on board.
The accounts from Holland state that a proclamation from the National Convention has been published at the Hague, Rotterdam, and other marine towns. A tent is erected in the great market place at Rotterdam, where musical instruments play, and liquor is given gratis to excite men to enter the navy. Each sailor receives a bounty of forty florins, or fifty if he goes on board before the twelfth of April.
This proclamation inverts against the British ministers for having by their insolence and perfidy plunged the Dutch nation into an unjust and destructive war.
It reminds the people of the ancient glory of the Dutch navy; and recounts the triumphs of Ruyter and Tromp; and exhorts all true patriots to exert themselves to the utmost in improving the state of the navy, on the strength of which the security of their liberty must alone depend.
MENTZ, March 17.
The advanced posts, of both parties on the Upper Rhine, are now hardly two hundred paces distant from each other. When they are relieved they shake hands, & treat each other in as friendly a manner as if they belonged to one party.
COBLENTZ, March 17.
The French continue to throw up works in front of the bridge on the Moselle. They are constructing scources on the Peterburg, and the whole hill is about to be converted into a kind of citadel. Preparations are also making on their side to establish a bridge of boats near Wiesb.
PARIS, 12 Germinal, April 1.
It has been confidently reported, that the armistice between our armies and that of the Austrians on the Rhine has been prolonged for four months. It has been farther said, that Citizen Bache, first French Secretary, of legation in Switzerland, has just arrived at Paris with important dispatches from Barthelémy. If these two facts be true, we may conclude that serious negotiations are about to be opened.
We are assured that negotiations are now carrying on at Paris, with such activity as to give room to hope for a speedy result alike happy and astonishing. They even go so far as to say, that the day before yesterday the preliminaries were on the point of being signed between the Directory and a Charge d'Affaires from the Emperor, with a new Diplomatic Agent, who arrived from Basle vested with pow-

ers from the English government, started fresh difficulties, by joining in the negotiation. We quote reports without vouching for their truth.
If report may be credited, Merlin of Douay is to go as Ambassador to Vienna, and is to be succeeded, as Minister of Police, by Mathieu, Member of the Council of Five Hundred.
A letter from Landau, dated 1st Germinal, March 21st, states that a convention has been entered into between the French and Austrian Generals to remove their respective armies to the distance of thirty leagues from each other. For this purpose the letter states that the Austrians had already began to cross the Rhine.
FRANCFORT, March 15.
The reports of peace and war have succeeded each other with great rapidity throughout Germany, within this last fortnight. Letters from Vienna even give reason to believe, for an instant, that a plan of pacification was on the tapis, and that, but for the obstinacy of the Minister of State, Baron Thugot, who thwarted the pacific views of Marshal Clerfaye, it would already have been carried into execution. Be that as it may, we are assured that it is in contemplation to hold a general Congress of all the Belligerent Powers at Constance, in order to attempt to bring about a general pacification.
GENOA, March 10.
The commotions which have prevailed for some time past in Sardinia, have now assumed the most serious aspect. The insurrection against the ancient government has become general.
BASLE, March 18.
We have just received letters from Italy, which assure us that the French have taken possession of the Genoese fortress Della Penna, of the fortress of Savona, and of a great part of the river. They have also demanded permission to put a garrison in the Genoese fort of Novi. By this means the army of Italy is in possession of a sufficient number of strong places to push the war with vigour in the Milanese and Montferrat, and to cover their retreat in case of misfortune.
It is thought that the presence of 60,000 Frenchmen will also render the Genoese very tractable, on the demand which the French government has made of a loan of 30 millions.
On the other hand we learn that the Austrians and the King of Sardinia are making the greatest preparations for the campaign in Italy; that ten thousand Austrians had arrived at Piedmont; that a much larger body of troops were on their march; and that a levy of one man in four has taken place throughout the dominions of Victor Amadeus, which has already produced 20,000 recruits.
HAGUE, March 20.
We have just learned that the Dutch squadron which sailed from the Texel, has been in sight of an English squadron, and that an engagement was expected to take place. Notwithstanding the secrecy observed as to the destination of our fleet, a report got abroad some time ago that it was bound to the Cape of Good Hope; since, however, we have known that the crews were not complete, and that the ships were supplied with provisions for a few months only, this report has ceased to be credited; and it is now presumed that the squadron has sailed for Brest to join a fleet fitting out there.
March 22.
Several couriers have reached this place in the course of the last three days; but the contents of their dispatches have not transpired. The Swedish Minister resident here, has received one from Paris. It is said that affairs of great importance are on the tapis.
ORDERS of the RHINE, March 19.
We learn that all the Austrian regiments, even those of the advanced posts, have received orders to bring up their magazines. We infer from this disposition, that a new suspension of arms may be agreed upon for an undetermined period, and that in the interval a general peace may be concluded. The Prussian Minister at Paris, Mr. Sandos, has presented a strong note to the Directory, on the subject of the Forced Loan that has been ordered to be levied, and is now levying, in the Prussian territories on the Rhine.
CADIZ, March 1.
Several English privateers have attacked Spanish vessels. They have given it as an excuse, that, as Spain had made peace with France, it was natural to conclude that that country was at war with Great Britain.
COPENHAGEN, April 1.
In the course of this week two couriers have been dispatched from hence to Paris, whose dispatches concern the negotiations for peace.
COPENHAGEN, March 14.
Vice Admiral Cae has been appointed to the command of the squadron, now arming for the protection, this summer, of the Danish flag, and the security of our commerce in the North Seas. The squadron will consist of five seventy four's three sixty four's, and five frigates. Vice Admiral Nordelkalde will be appointed to the command of the Swedish squadron which will be united with that of Denmark.
It is said that Grouvel, Minister of the French Republic and acknowledged as such, will be shortly going to Paris on a short visit.
STRASBURGH, 3d Germinal.
I hasten to communicate to you very welcome news; the day before yesterday, Citizen Bacher set off in great haste for Paris, and it is at this moment said that he went to carry to the Directory Articles of peace received by an extraordinary courier from Citizen Barthelemy. As soon as I have a confirmation of this news, I will not fail communicating it to you immediately.
CHARLESTON, May 20.
The following particulars are furnished by capt. Philips, of the brig Aurora, who arrived the day before yesterday from Surinam.
On the second instant, being then in lat. 21, long. 68, fell in with a fleet of eleven sail of armed ships, shortly after was spoke by the commodore, who sent his boat aboard the Aurora. It proved to be a fleet from France, with troops on board, bound to Cape Francois. The officer who came on board informed, that they had captured in the European seas eleven sail of transports, with troops and stores on board, from England bound for Jamaica; which they had sent for France.
Capt. Philips says, that 8 ships of the fleet appeared to him to be 74 and 64 gun ships, which had been cut down, and had one tier of guns; the other was a large transport; they appeared very full of men. The officer said but a few minutes on board of the Aurora; he expected they would make their port in two or three days.
NEW-YORK, May 20.
Saturday morning arrived the snow Mermaid, Captain Hawley, in twenty days from St. Bartholomew's. By the arrival of the Mermaid we have information that the British made an attack on St. Lucie, a few days previous to Captain Hawley's departure from St. Bartholomew's, and that they were completely defeated in every attempt. The loss of
from our information, was immensely great. Three transports, with wounded on board, had gone to Guadalupe, and a reinforcement was sent for, in order to renew the attack. The general opinion, however, at St. Bartholomew's, was, that their scheme would prove abortive, as the French were well fortified.
As soon as the English fleet hove in sight, the French commander hoisted the bloody flag, and fought under it during the whole action, as at Leogane.
IMPORTANT.
By letters received in this city we are informed, that capt. Harris arrived at Boston from the Cape of Good Hope, brings intelligence of that place being taken by the French.
Capt. Harris, from India mentions that he was informed from two prows, that reached North Island from Batavia, while he lay there, that the French had taken the Cape of Good Hope. This news appears extraordinary when compared with other recent information from that place.
Eight English country ships had been captured by the French in the Streights Malacca. One only was re-taken.
Christopher Gore Esq. Commissioner from the United States, to settle the American claims for British spoliation, was to sail from Boston on Wednesday last, for London.
Lord Dorchester is said to be on his return to England from Canada; and is to be succeeded in the temporary command by Lieut. Gov. Col. Simcoe.
PHILADELPHIA, May 30.
It appears that Mr. Vander Horst our Consul at Bristol, has announced the danger our vessels may still be exposed to from the Algerine cruisers; and which it appears will be likely to continue until the actual determination of our government is known, respecting the treaty lately negotiated with them.
By a letter from a gentleman at Gibraltar, to a merchant in New-York, dated April 4, we are informed that Mr. Humphreys had advised Masters of vessels bound up the Streights not to proceed, as there were grounds to apprehend they would be taken by the Algerines, the time for the arrival of the ransom money from the United States having expired, and no cash yet come to hand.
Captain Barney is appointed to the command of a French 64 gun ship.
Yesterday arrived here, the snow Fair Hebe, from London, which port she left on the eighth of April, and Gravesend on the eleventh. From the rumours which prevailed in the city of preliminary articles of peace having been signed between France and Austria we expected to be able to communicate some intelligence of importance to our readers. We never were more disappointed. We have in our hands the London Morning Chronicle to the eighth, which are unusually barren. Hostilities, it appears, have not commenced; but the prospects of peace which they hold out is but faint:—Negotiations are certainly on foot. The following extract of a letter will shew the foundation upon which the rumours of peace probably rest.
April 8.
Extract of a letter from a respectable house in London dated fifth of April 1796.
We send you some newspapers of late dates by this conveyance. You will find by them that an expectation of an immediate peace is generally prevalent, and great speculations on our funds are going forward on the same opinions. We confess, however, we think this opinion slightly taken up, and the speculation it hath given rise to ruinous.
We hear that Preliminaries between the French and Austrians are concluded on: Yesterday our markers sunk at least 10s per quarter. The Adventures in grain and flour will be great losers, and the speculators in rice will more. American wheat, 60s. a 76s. per quarter. Indian corn, 40s. a 44s. per quarter. Flour, 29s 6d a 31s. per cwt.—And the prices merely nominal.

STOP THIEF.
WERE stolen last night out of my stable in this town, two very elegant large well formed
SORREL HORSES,
with long switch tails, blazed faces, and good all round; they trot and gallop, and are excellent carriage horses, having been accustomed to run in my carriage. One of them is fifteen hands high, remarkable for his beauty, activity and the neatness of his legs, but has bad eyes, having been cut for the hooks when very young; in the middle of the blaze in his face is a small sorrel spot—he has one hind foot white, and is upwards of ten years old. The other horse, though about two inches higher, is a very good match for him—he is larger and stronger made, but not so handsome—his sides are rubbed with the harness, his hind feet white, and is about seven years old. It is probable that the thief will alter their appearance by cutting their manes or tails, and endeavor to sell them at Norfolk, Richmond, Williamsburg, or Fredericksburg. He stole at the same time my Bridle and Saddle; the latter is double fluted, handsome, about half worn, with small round bosses, and a green saddle-cloth. Whoever will deliver me the said horses at this place, shall receive fifty Dollars reward, and forty dollars more on conviction of the thief—or I will give thirty dollars to any person who will give me such information as will enable me to get the horses again.

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 P. Eaton, or to
J. GRANT, W. HENRY, J. HAWKINS, Managers.
Any person purchasing 20 tickets, shall have a credit until the Lottery is drawn.
