XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
TREATY OF PEACE, Between the French Republic and the Grand Duke of Tuscany.
February 10.
RICHARD, in the name of the Committee of Public Safety, spoke as follows:
Citizens,
When you first took notice of the rumours which were spreading of a peace, when you made your dispositions known, you pledged yourselves to all Europe that you were inclined to discriminate amongst your enemies, such as had been forced into hostilities against us. In the latter class Tuscany must be ranked. That power followed a long while the steps which its situation, and its force advised to pursue, viz. keeping entirely free from the feuds of its neighbours. Europe was heretofore wont to respect its tranquility. But England, the center of the universal vortex, had determined that no power should avoid falling into it. Intoxicated with the momentary usurpation of the sovereignty of the seas, she was daring enough to forbid maritime powers, impartially to look on our revolution. Her incendiaries failed at Copenhagen; so they did at Naples, and at Florence they carried their point. Twelve hours only were given the Grand Duke to determine on his conduct. He was destitute of force, and submitted: the agents of the republic were sent out of Tuscany. To day, citizens, the chains rivetted on that power, have been broken by the continued train of our victories: British despotism in that quarter is at an end, and a minister arrived from Tuscany to treat with your committee of public safety. Monsieur Carletti, known in all Europe by his attachment to the principles of freedom which have determined our revolution, and particularly by important services rendered to the French, who had taken refuge in Tuscany, is invested with the character. Many material considerations have led your committee, to conclude with him a treaty which is now submitted to your ratification.
We have thought it to be in your principle, to receive well, powers whose hostilities had been involuntary. Tuscany you will observe, was the first to acknowledge the French Republic. No French ci-
itizen was ever troubled on account of his opinions: the British had taken in the harbour of Leghorn an immense quantity of corn which was landing on our own account; the Grand Duke has caused it to be restored at his own expense, and it must now be arrived in our Mediterranean ports. A state of war with Tuscany cannot be of any use to us; on the contrary its neutrality may prove very advantageous to our commerce.
Europe stands astonished at the energy of courage, the steadiness of efforts, and constitution of victories which you have displayed: you will also, we hope, force her to admire you, by the generous use you have made of prosperity. But citizens, if you mark those whom fear only threw into the coalition against our country, you will crush such as will dare longer to resist our arms. We shall particularly bring England down [at the utterance of this sentence, the Assembly rose and exclaimed at once, yes! yes!] England whose sanguinary councils have so well taken care to stand foremost in this war: you will never forget that mankind and justice, look upon you to avenge their most elementary right, so audaciously and so long trampled under foot.
[Long Plaudits.]
Richard read the treaty, Between the representatives of the French People composing the committee of Public Safety, entrusted by the decree of _____ with the external relations and Monsieur Francois Xavier, Count of Carletti, charged with the power of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, the following articles are settled and agreed upon.
Art. I. The Grand Duke of Tuscany revokes every act, consent accession or adhesion given to the coalition formed against the French Republic.
Art. II. Therefore there will be amity, peace, and good understanding between the French Republic and the grand duke of Tuscany.
Art. III. The neutrality of Tuscany shall be re-established on the footing on which it stood before the eighteenth of October 1793.
Art. IV. And the present treaty will not have any effect, but after its being ratified by the National Convention.
Done at Paris, at the National Palace, the 21st of Pluviose, 3d year of the French Republic, (9th of February 1795.)
After a long debate the Convention decreed that the report and treaty shall be printed, and adjourn the consideration of the latter to the 25th inst. (13th Feb.)
NOTICE is hereby given
To BENJAMIN NETHERLAND, and JOHN WARFORD,
To go forward and survey the locations made by them in the name of Frederick Harris, agreeably to the contracts that they may have, otherwise I shall have the business done, & plead it in bar to any claim they may afterwards set up.

RUN AWAY From Capt. SAMUEL CAMPBELL, in Madison county, on Silver creek, about the 7th of April.
A brisk, likely, sensible NEGRO FELLOW,
A Slave, named BEN BERRY, about thirty years of age, about five feet 6 or 7 inches high, his scheme is to pass as a free man; he took with him an old pair of saddle-bags, with part of a set of shoe-maker's tools, and will try to go under the name of a shoe-maker, as he knows something of that business; he also took with him a gun and shot-pouch, and will likely endeavor to go to the Miami settlements, where he has been told he will be free. He was born in Prince Edward, in the state of Virginia, and raised by the above Mr. Campbell, and brought by him to Kentucky a few years past—and since he run away, said Campbell hath sold him (the said slave) to the subscriber who is his proper owner, and who will pay the above reward and all reasonable charges to any person or persons who will deliver said Mulatto Slave to him in Lincoln on Dick's river.
Henry Pawling.
May 13. N. B. The above slave can read in the Bible and Testament, and likely has a new Bible with him—he will probably change his name and perhaps some evil disposed person has given him a pass.

RUN AWAY FROM THE SUBSCRIBER, On Wednesday night, the sixth inst. A Mulatto Man Slave,
About eighteen years old, named JAMES, and sometimes calls himself JAMES MEALS, has a comely countenance, a soft voice and speaks fluently, a very sensible fellow and can read and write; he is about five feet eight or nine inches high, well proportioned, & when he walks or stands his toes turn out. He carried with him as well as I can ascertain, the following clothes: one short jacket and breeches of felled linsay, dyed brown, pretty much worn, two coarse shirts, two or three white shirts, two of which are ruffled at the bosom, one blue cloth coat, one pair jeans breeches of an olive colour, one pair of white yarn stockings, one pair of old buck-skin overalls, one pair of shoes, and one pair of new deer-skin moccasins, he has taken other clothes that I cannot describe. James is fond of playing on the fiddle, and generally when playing inclines his head to one side. His transgressions had caused him a severe whipping ten days preceding his elopement; the scars of which will be evident upon examination; it is probable a small fore or scar may be discovered on the point of his left elbow, as he not long since received a stroke thereon in an affray. A reward of Ten Dollars will be given for the above described slave, if secured in any jail so that I can get him; Twenty-five if taken within the state and brought to my house on North Elkhorn, in Woodford county, about four miles from Frankfort, or Fifty Dollars if taken out of the state and delivered to
Harry Innes.

Had also a fresh cut on the thick of his thigh when taken.

PUBLIC NOTICE.
THAT on the 22d day of May 1780, I located by virtue of a land office treasury warrant, 5000 acres of land on Slate creek, in the now county of Clarke, on a Buffalo road, leading from Hinkston's fork of Licking to the Sweet lick (now more generally known by the name of the Mud lick) to begin at a peeled black oak, standing within five poles of the said road on the South side thereof and running North 1280 poles, then East for quantity; which said peeled black oak is on the East side of Slate creek within about three quarters of a mile therefrom, and is between four and five miles in a straight line, above the Bourbon Furnace. That on the seventh day of June 1784, I caused the said entry to be surveyed according to location, beginning at the peeled black oak therein called for, and have since obtained a patent therefor; and as the testimony respecting the said peeled black oak, depends on persons now living, in order to perpetuate their testimony, I obtained from the county court of Clarke at their last court, an order appointing commissioners to examine and take the depositions of such persons as I might judge proper, by virtue of an Act of the last session of Assembly entitled 'An act to ascertain the boundaries of lands and for other purposes.'—All whom it may concern, are therefore desired to TAKE NOTICE, that on Wednesday the third day of June next, I shall attend with the commissioners aforesaid, and sundry witnesses at the said peeled black oak, being the place where my survey of 5000 acres aforesaid does begin; when and where I shall take the depositions of the said witnesses, in order to establish the same, and do such further acts therein as shall be necessary, and as the said law directs.

John Grant.  BY YESTERDAY'S MAIL.
LONDON, Feb. 12.
General Prescott, arrived yesterday from the West-Indies, with intelligence of a very disastrous nature. In consequence of the formidable and increasing force of the French in Guadaloupe, it was determined that fort Matilda should be evacuated; this evacuation was effected on the tenth of December at night, with the loss of sixteen men killed and seventy-five wounded.
The whole island of Guada-
loupe has thus been wrested from us; and so powerful are the means of attack and offence which the French now possess in the West Indies, in consequence of the arrival of large reinforcements of men, ammunition and stores from France that strong doubts are entertained of our being able to retain Martinique.
The letters received by the Couranna mail, dated 31st Jan. assure us, that a total change in the Spanish ministry had just taken place.
Neither Pampaluna nor Rosas had been taken by the French; but the French having on the 26th January, made a great breach in the fort of Trinidad, which is near Rosas. The Spanish garrison evacuated it the next evening, having previously spiked the cannon. They were taken up from its sally ports in boats, and conveyed on board the Spanish fleet without any loss.
The following very important letter has been sent to Mr. Johnson, the American Consul, by Mr. Pinckney, the American minister.
"Great Cumberland Place, January 30, 1795.
"My Dear Sir, "Mr. Munro, our minister Plenipotentiary in France, informs me in laetter dated at Paris, Jan. 7, 1795, that the Convention have agreed to carry into full effect the treaty of commerce between the two republics.—As this is, I presume, the most authentic information which has been received of this determination, I have thought it proper to communicate it to you officially, for the information of our commercial friends."
I am with respect, dear sir, Your most obedient, And most humble servant,  THOMAS PINCKNEY. Joshua Johnson, Esq. &c. &c. &c.
GIBRALTAR, January 12. A letter from Barcelona brings an account of more than 25 sail of English vessels being taken between Algiers and Burelma, by a French forty gun ship.
NEW-YORK, April 15.
On Sunday arrived here the ship Active , capt. Colden, in 49 days from Liverpool, bringing London papers to Feb. 14, two days later than we have before had.
It is said dispatches from Mr. Jay to the executive of the United States came by the Active .
The accounts by this arrival, state, that a total change in the Spanish ministry had taken place; that every hour is expected to be the last of the king of Sardinia; that the Corsicans, finding they were deceived, when told it was impossible for France to hold out against the combination, have revolted in formidable insurrection against Paoli and his party; that the Italian states are sadly apprehensive of a visit from the French. That Kosciusko still lives; we leave him escorted to Petersburg, a prisoner; and the Veteran Polish army 30,000 strong, in want of provision, pursued by Russians and Prussians.—That the corporation of the city of Salisbury have addressed the king on the subject of peace. That 56 of the inhabitants of Liverpool addressed the mayor of that city, requesting a general meeting to be called to consider of the propriety of addressing the king, which was opposed by another signed by 200 inhabitants; in consequence of which the mayor declined calling the meeting; that the impressing of sea and land's men for the navy had recommenced with great vigor; a number of the merchants of Liverpool had declared the preference to a general embargo being laid on their outward bound trade, to the taking seamen out of their vessels, which must have a partial operation.
