WANTED, AN Apprentice to the Hatting business; enquire of the Printer, Lexington, Feb. 16, 1793.
THE language of writers of a certain description, is this. We are a young people, our Government is in its infancy; it is not either just or prudent to animadvert on the conduct of our officers—alike the mind is to be formed to virtuous pursuits in early youth, in Government it is otherwise. You must suffer corruption to take deep root before you attempt to destroy it.—Amongst this description of writers, is the Farmer in your paper of the second of February. The news he has proclaimed without the office of a Herald, I find my fellow citizens do not understand, I will endeavor to translate for them—Know ye therefore whom it may concern, that the salaries of our public officers are fixed so low that they cannot afford to maintain themselves in a town, to remedy which inconvenience, the seat of Government is fixed at Frankfort, which is not, and in all human probability never will be a town, where the tavern-keepers will be able to board the officers of government much cheaper than they would in Lexington, because they will have six weeks or two months custom, to provide for a year's expenses, while the tavern-keepers in Lexington having only constant custom and certain profits, are obliged to make exorbitant charges to procure a maintenance—The Superior Courts meet in Lexington out of compassion to the people of that place; that is, those who were in favor of removing them, finding themselves in a minority on a motion in the last Assembly for Harrodsburg, and observing the desponding looks and humble language of the Lexington people, gave up out of compassion, what it was not in their power to attain.—Happy Lexingtonians, so soon to have learnt from the Farmer and his friends, the soothing arts of Court dependents. Generous Representatives to take compassion on a people, amongst whom you had till then lived with cautious distrust.—Let me endeavor to repay the Farmer for his goodness, who without doubt had some hand in these generous measures .—I feel indebted altho I am not an inhabitant of Frankfort on both sides of the Kentucky river—He recommends the pointing out a remedy for the evils we feel—I will endeavor to do it by an address to the people. Fellow citizens, if you believe Justices are not entitled to a seat in the Legislature, that they sacrifice your interests to encroach their own business, and the profits of it, that the Commissioners appointed to fix the seat of government were not constitutionally appointed, that after three of them had resigned, it was not Constitutional to re-appoint them in the manner they were re-appointed; that the law authorizing the recovery of money, for either money or property sub-
scribed on the Frankfort subscription, in a summary way is contrary to the Constitution. You will not at your next election vote for the men who advocated these measures. Altho I have the greatest respect for the kind compassionate Farmer, I cannot believe that I should do wrong in turning off a Servant who betrays me.
No Courtier.
NICE, September 30. The French have made a triumphant entry into Nice; they planted the tree of liberty, and a constitutional curate whom General Anselme brought in his carriage celebrated mass at which all the inhabitants assisted. The French fleet has entered into the port, the national flag has been hoisted on all the vessels, every hat is adorned with a national cockade joy and gladness beam on every countenance. The army is encamped under the walls of Nice. The General has issued the strongest proclamations to put the persons and property of the conquered country under the safe guard of the nation; if they are well executed, nothing more will be wanting to effect an insurrection in all the States of the Sardinian King. The patriotic society of Grasse, has sent to Nice a deputation of 20 of its members, in order to establish a club there.
There is not a single Piedmontese soldier in all the country of Nice. Our squadron stopped on the 27th, an English vessel that was sailing to Nice; she was laden with muskets, and it was just what we wanted for our volunteers, the vessel was brought into our port. They speak of making an incursion shortly into Sardinia; it seems that the expedition will be entrusted to General Paoli, who behaves, in Corsica, with great patriotism; our fleet will be employed in it; 10,000 men are more than sufficient to insure success.
SPIRE, October 8. Some detachments of French grenadiers having made an incursion into the neighbourhood of Philippsburgh, the other side of the Rhine, took 20 Russians, and stopped four vessels laden with shoes and shirts. The fame of the French arms has carried consternation among all the Princes, both secular and ecclesiastical. The friends to liberty flock to hail the French: three young men came here lately from the academy at Stuttgart, and declared that they had no other motive in the voyage, but to view the general and the army of a nation, upon whose principles and energy depend the hopes of the other nations.
French National Convention. WEDNESDAY, October 3. The following are the pieces referred to by General Dumourier, in his letter of the 1st of October. TO THE FRENCH ARMY. Comrades in arms, the following are the reasonable propositions which I made to the Prussians, after receiving two messages requesting an accommodation. The Duke of Brunswick sent me for answer, an insolent manifesto, which will irritate the whole nation, and create the number of its soldiers. Let us observe no longer truce my friends—let us attack these tyrants, and make them repent of having polluted the land of liberty. DUMOURIER. Memorial to the King of Prussia. The French nation has undoubtedly decided its fate, and foreign powers cannot refuse to acknowledge the truth of this assertion. They no longer see the National Assembly, whose powers were confined; whose acts required to be either confirmed or abrogated to have the force of laws; who possessed only a contested authority which might have been considered as usurped; and who had the wisdom to appeal to the whole nation, and to request of themselves the eighty-three Departments to put an end to their existence, and to supply their place by a representation invested with all the powers and complete sovereignty of the French people, authorised by the Constitution itself, under the name of the National Convention. The Assembly, the first day of its sitting, actuated by a spontaneous movement, which is the same throughout the whole empire, decreed the abolition of royalty. This decree was every where received with great joy; it was every where expected with the utmost impatience; it every where augmented the energy of the people; and at present it would be impossible to make the nation re-establish a throne, overturned by the crimes which surrounded it. France then must necessarily be considered as a Republic, since the whole nation has declared the abolition of monarchy. This Republic must either be acknowledged or combated. The powers against France had no right to intermeddle in the debates of the National Assembly on the form of its government. No power has a right to impose a law on so great a nation; they therefore resolved to employ the right of the strongest—but what has been the result?—The nation has been more incensed; they have opposed force to force, and the advantages certainly which the numerous troops of the King of Prussia and his allies have gained are of very little consequence. The resistance which he meets with, and which increases as

he advances, is not too great to prove that the conquest of France, represented to him as very easy, is absolutely impossible. Whatever difference of principles may exist between the respectable monarch who has been misled, and the French people, neither he nor his generals can any longer consider that people, or the armies which oppose him, as a collection of rebels.
The rebels are those infatuated nobility, who, after having so long oppressed the people in the name of monarchs, whose throne they themselves shook, have completed the disgrace of Louis XVI. by taking up arms against their own country, by filling Europe with their falsehoods and calumnies, and by becoming by their conduct as foolish as it is criminal, the most dangerous enemies of Louis XVI. and of their country. I have often myself heard Louis XVI. lament their crimes and their chimeras.
I shall leave the King of Prussia and his whole army to judge of the conduct of these dangerous rebels—are they esteemed or despised? I do not require an answer to that question, I already know it—yet these men are suffered to remain in the Prussian army and to form the advanced guard of it, with a small number of Austrians, as barbarous as themselves.
Let us now come to the Austrians since the fatal treaty of 1756. France, after sacrificing its natural allies, became a prey to the ambition of the Court of Vienna. All our treasures served to satiate the avarice of the Austrians. In the beginning therefore of our revolution—at the opening of the National Assembly under the name of the states general, the intrigues of the Court of Vienna were multiplied to deceive the nation respecting its real interests; to unlead an unfortunate King surrounded by bad advisers, and lastly to tender him perjured.
It is the Court of Vienna that has occasioned the downfall of Louis XVI. What has been done by that court, the crooked politics of which are too subtle to display a bold and open conduct? it represented the French as monsters while it, and the criminal emigrants, paid emissaries and conspirators, and kept up by every possible means the most frightful discord.
This power more formidable to its allies than its enemies, has engaged us in a war against a great King, whom we esteem; against a nation which we love and which loves us. This reversion of all political and moral principles cannot long continue.
(To be continued.)

LIBERTY TREE.
A new SONG. IN a chariot of light, from the regions of day, The Goddess of Liberty came; Ten thousand Celestials directed the way, And hither conducted the dame. A fair budding branch from the garden above (Where millions with millions agree) She brought in her hand as a pledge of her love, And the Plant she nam'd LIBERTY TREE. The Celestial Exotic struck deep in the ground, Like a native it flourish'd and bore; The fame of its fruit drew forth thousands around, To seek out this enlightened shore; Unmindful of names or distinction they came, For freemen like brothers agree: With one spirit endu'd, the Duke they pursu'd, And their Temple was LIBERTY TREE.
