KENTUCKY GAZETTE.
[NUMB. XLVII.]
S A T U R D A Y, August 6, 1796.
[VOL. IX.]
To the Printer of the KENTUCKY GAZETTE.
SIR, THE season of the year, so important to the cultivator of the earth, is my apology for neglecting so long to notice a publication in your Gazette of July the ninth. Though indeed, I should scarcely resume my pen, were it not that I wish to correct a mistaken interpretation which your correspondent has put on some expressions occurring in my last communication. For it would occupy a greater part of your paper than the controversy merits, to enter into a minute examination of what he has offered respecting the eligibility of the members of the last legislature to the same office in the present year. Enough has probably been already said upon the subject; — and I should feel perfectly satisfied to find that the arguments of my opponent have carried conviction to the minds of your readers, whether private citizens or persons invested with legislative authority. I must, however, acknowledge my carelessness (which indeed I was about to do the moment I read in your paper, my last letter to you) in representing the clause of the constitution which forbids an increase of the salary of the governor for the time being, as having been superceded by the 24th section. Certainly this is not the case; and my error must have originated in an inattention of mind, which it would be disingenuous to deny or to vindicate. But on the other hand, I would also remark, that the construction which I have put upon the 24th section, does not in reality interfere with the section immediately preceding. The one provides that no alteration shall be made, to take effect during the existence of the legislature which shall make such alteration; — the other extends the principle farther, and (according to that literal interpretation which I have feared we were under the necessity of adopting) forbids their being appointed again for one year afterwards.
Your correspondent complains of the manner in which I have spoken upon the subject of constitutional regulations: and, understanding me as he did, I do not wonder that he should complain. But it is the political creed of the 'Constitutionalist,' as well as that of 'Another Constitutional,' 'That the constitution of our government ought to be revered, and all its provisions and institutions held inviolate, until altered or abrogated by the same authority that established them.' Most certainly, therefore he mistook my meaning in supposing that I wished to represent them as the checks and balances of aristocracy; — a mistake which I regret the more, because I am so far from adopting, that I would ever discountenance and reprobate the practice of endeavoring to prejudice the public mind by giving odious and unpopular appellations, which are neither merited nor appropriate, to any institutions which one may wish to discredit.
It is true, I am no advocate for regulations restricting the exercise of the public will in the appointment of the public servants; — and where the disqualifications for offices are multiplied to the extent that they are in some governments, they render the exercise of judgment in the people of little effect, and by destroying the occasion and the motive, destroy the inclination and the ability for political discrimination. The constitution of Kentucky, no doubt is far less excep-
tionable in this view than many other constitutions: but though I consider it as the duty of a citizen to pay a strict obedience to all its injunctions; I greatly question the necessity of placing one single restriction upon the judgment and discretion of the people, when nominating the national agents. Various circumstances, unquestionably may render a candidate unfit for the office he aspires to; but the discovery of them may be safely left to the penetration of the people.
Your correspondent, 'Another Constitutional,' complains that I have not given my reasons for the opinion I have advanced respecting the nature of constitutions in general. I was far from wishing, as he seems to apprehend, to load them with opprobrious epithets; — I respect all the institutions of my country: — but I have strong doubts as to the utility of crowding a constitutional instrument with a multiplicity of articles, unrepealable by the legislature. Till after farther enquiry & discussion (which for my own part I have not at present leisure to engage in) I am unwilling to form a decided opinion how many articles ought to be introduced into the constitution of a state: — but I much question whether any standing regulation be necessary than one fixing the time, the mode and the object of the assemblies of the people. Much indeed must depend upon the simplicity or complexity of the legislative body: — and the introduction of two houses certainly seems to call for some constitutional article defining the mode of their co-operation. I must repeat it, however, that I only throw out hints for consideration and do not pretend to lay down digested principles: — though I feel satisfied that in a truly republican government, such as we are happy to enjoy, a variety of articles usually brought into the constitution, may with more advantage be enacted in the form of laws by the ordinary assembly, and like other laws be subject to their revision and repeal. My principal reasons for this opinion are the following:
1. The great security which the people have that a convention will act with integrity and patriotism, is that they fairly represent the people and have the same interest with them. Now every legislative body, which is formed upon the pure principles of representation, and is chosen for a short period, can afford the same security: — and in case experience proves that they have committed any errors; a subsequent assembly can correct them.
2. Constitutional instruments, as they are usually framed, create a false dependence. The people soon learn to idolize them, and to regard them as forming an impregnable bulwark, against all the attacks of ambition and tyranny. They soon become lulled into security; and as long as they behold no glaring inroads upon the constitution, they are ready to believe that all is safe. But are there not a thousand ways in which the legislative body may act inconsistently with the dictates of justice, which no constitution can anticipate or provide against? And is there any infallible assurance of the permanency of the liberties of any country, but that which results from a general diffusion of political knowledge, and the universal prevalence of a spirit of patriotism?
3. Constitutions, as they are usually framed, are a bar to improvement.
They are commonly declared to be unalterable for a certain period. They are framed upon the principle of the right of binding posterity . — It is not the duration of my life nor of your life that makes this the present age. Every year brings forward a set of new citizens, whilst it suffers a set of old ones to drop off. Every year too our own views are altering — and our judgments maturing. Shall I then paint in stronger colors than necessary, the short-sightedness or the folly of today, by resolving & binding myself not to listen to the dictates of wisdom to-morrow? Shall I lock up my mind from the approaches of truth, or determine not to avail myself of her instructions? Shall a nation deliver themselves over to voluntary bondage, and solemnly pledge themselves that whatever measures or institutions inconsistent with their present views, they may hereafter be convinced it is their wisdom to adopt, they shall at all events be sullenly rejected? — Widely different is the voice of wisdom and of virtue.
A CONSTITUTIONALIST. August 4, 1796.
WARSAW, April 1.
Letters from a Province of Podolia assert, that about 1500 Polish emigrants are assembled in Moldavia: among them are the celebrated brigadiers, Wolyisko Deniecko Liberadziky, and several other leaders, who have distinguished themselves in the late revolution. Lately they made an incursion into Podolia, dispersed a patrol of Russian Cossacks, and after having pushed as far as Swanietz they posted up manifestos, wherein they formally protest against the partition of Poland, and declare, that with the help of God they expect to restore their country to its former independence, and reëstablish the constitution of the 3d May, as the only one adapted to Poland and universally cherished by the people. After having done this, they retreated again to their former stations.
April 4.
The fear of many people here, that new commotions would break out in Poland, is unhappily but too well grounded: the commotions have already broke out. A new confederation has made its appearance in the Ukraine. Eight thousand armed Poles, all veterans of the Polish army, who, at the time the Russians took Podolia, retreated to the Turkish territory, have lately appeared in the neighborhood of Kamienie, Podolsky, and at Swanietz, in the territory held by the Russians, they issued a manifesto to the Polish nation, and afterwards retreated; they are led on by Denisko, Koligilko and Lieberadezky — The manifesto, which shews that the confederates depend on the support of the Ottoman porte, is in the hand, of many persons in this city.
COPENHAGEN, April 30.
We learn that the differences between Russia and Sweden have been amicably settled, and that a beginning has already been made to withdraw the troops. It is said that the marriage of the King of Sweden has been delayed for the present.
GENOA, April 21.
We are assured that the English fleet, which has not been seen since yesterday, has been recalled to Corsica; It appears that the insurrection which has broken out in this island, takes a very alarming
turn, and that it may extend to the coasts, if forces capable of defending the towns are not immediately sent there. It is thought that the Insurgents of the Mountain are not in a state to maintain themselves long, because they want arms and powder, but the difficulty of penetrating into their country constitutes their principal force, and they hope to receive succours from France. The greatest part of those whom Paoli had deceived, in order to make them raise war against France, are returning to the French party, and those only remain faithful to the English who hold offices. The inhabitants of the towns will, perhaps, continue faithful through impotence; but they will not make any effort to defend the new Government.
PARIS, 8 Floreal, April 27.
Thomas Payne, ci-devant Member of the National Convention, presented to the council a pamphlet of his writings on the decay and fall of the English system of finances, translated into French by his friend Lanthenas.
We are assured that a negotiation is at this moment going on between the directory and the Spanish Minister for restoring to Spain its territory in St Doming, and receiving in exchange Louisiana.
9 Floreal, April 29.
Doulcet, after recapitulating to the Council the glorious triumphs by which the army of Italy had just opened the campaign, demanded that the commission charged with the conducting the festival of Victory, should also engage itself in determining on the honors to be paid to the names of the Generals and Soldiers who fell gloriously on the plains of Italy. Adopted.
7 Floreal, April 20.
A member of the Senate of Hamburg is arrived in Paris to settle the difference with France. We are assured that there has very lately arrived at Bâle a new agent from England, charged to renew the negotiations with France. Sir Sidney Smith arrived yesterday in Paris, with two other English Officers. He has been conducted to the old prison of the abbaye. According to a letter from the Hague, the Dutch fleet, consisting of 13 ships of the line and some frigates has turned the British Isles by the North, and is gone to the Cape of Good Hope.
14 Floreal, May 3.
Our letters from the North announce, that the campaign will open immediately on the banks of the Rhine. On both sides the greatest preparations are making. Jourdan, and the Arch Duke Charles, are visiting their respective advanced posts. The German prints make the Austrian army 220,000 strong. Ours is still more numerous.
May 6.
An Extraordinary Courier arrived yesterday morning at the Spanish Ambassador's with dispatches, which charge him, it is said, to endeavor to negotiate a suspension of arms between the Armies of the Republic and troops of the king of Sardinia. This news is not devoid of probability. First because Victor Amadeus may now begin to dread the loss of his State and his throne, and in the second place, because the treaty made with Spain states that we shall accept the mediation of the Court of Madrid in favour of the king of Sardinia.
It is said that there arrived yesterday at the Spanish Ambassador's an extraordinary Courier with dispatches relating to Peace be-

ween France and Sardinia. Glory! Glory! Eternal Glory! to the brave army of Italy, whose valour and exploits have procured us these great benefits.
LONDON, May 14.
An American house in the city had stopped payment for a very large sum, in consequence of speculations in corn and rice from America, which have turned out unfavorably. The deficiency is stated at 150,000.
May 17.
French papers state, that hostilities had not, according to their latest advices, recommenced on the Rhine though the preparations for such an event was carried on with great activity. On the contrary, a report prevails, at Paris, that the negotiations for peace had been resumed between the emperor and French. Such an event is probable, as there hardly seems any other means left to him to save his dominions in Italy, which to him are of much greater importance than the Netherlands.
Sailed the Dolly armed cutter, of eight guns, A Watson, master, with the Capt of La Virginie, who is to be exchanged for Sir Sidney Smith.
The Master of the American ship Sally, arrived in the river from Havre, says, that on the 3d instant, the time of his leaving that port flour was selling at 8 shillings per barrel; that several American vessels laden with grain, unable to procure sale there, had failed for Lisbon and England, and that five others remained in the harbour, for whose cargoes no purchasers could be found, even at the above reduced price. Every other article of provisions, he states to have been equally abundant and cheap.
From an actual survey made a few days since, it appears that there is more wheat at this moment, in the Isle of Wight, that is sufficient for two years consumption of the inhabitants, supposing the ensuing harvest entirely to fail: and there is a greater quantity in every other quarter than has been known at this season for twenty years back. There is besides a far greater quantity of land sown with wheat, than ever before happened; and there never was, in the memory of man, the prospect of a more plentiful crop.
PHILADELPHIA, July 16 DON JOSEPH IGNATIUS DEVI-
AR, Consul General and Charge des Affaires, from His Catholic Majesty to the United States of America, &c.
To all whom it may Concern: Whereas permissions have been granted by my predecessor, to carry flour and other provisions to the Havannah, which the holders of them have not yet thought proper to put in execution: And whereas that trade has been lately stopped by Royal order. Now therefore this is to make known, that no vessel which may be cleared out from the United States, after the date of this publication, and proceeding under the said permissions, will be admitted to an entry at the said port of Havannah, agreeable to an official communication made to me by the Intendant of said port, dated 21st ult. in virtue of which I give this public notice.
NEW-YORK, July 13.
By two arrivals here yesterday, viz. the schr. Lady, capt Hull, from Charleston, and the sloop Sally, Greer, from Turks Island we learn that the Thetis, and La-Prevoyant are cruising off our coast. They were seen, a few days since, off the mouth of the Chesapeake.
Capt Greer was informed by brig Harriot, from Cape Francois to Baltimore, that a French fleet, consisting of about 20 sail of the line, had arrived at the Cape, and had captured part of the Jamaica outward bound fleet.
By an arrival here yesterday, from Cape Nicolas Mole, we are informed, that a number of British
armed vessels and transports lay at that place—that preparations are making for the commencement of hostilities—and that American produce now sells high there.
Capt Wallace, on the 6th instant fell in with the British frigates Thetis and Prevoyante, at some distance from which he saw a Philadelphia built ship, bright sided, and Indian-headed: she hoisted American colors—Capt W. is of opinion she was a prize to the frigates.
The brig Thomas Capt. Pratt from Martinique, arrived here yesterday, in 24 days passage. Capt. Pratt, informs, that previous to his departure arrived at Guadalupe 7 sail of the line and 6 frigates, with troops on board, numbers not ascertaining.
In addition to the above we learn, by the mate of Captain Pratt, that on the 20th of June, Mariguange surrendered to the British.
COUNCIL OF ELDERS.
The Council approved the measures adopted by that of five hundred.
Legendre insinuated that the conspiracy was the word of the Royalists. Which some of the Members replied by a smile of pity others were enraged at seeing him thus palliate the crimes of the Anarchists.
Lexington, August 6.
If the French should succeed in their negotiation with Spain, and obtain possession of Louisiana, we shall be bound by a much stronger tie of interest to preserve a good understanding with her government. The proximity of situation will give them greater opportunity of annoying us, should a continued course of unfriendly conduct towards them render such a resolution necessary.—Every American should be filled with confusion at reflecting on our deportment to this nation to whom we owe so much. Whilst, on the one hand, we have meanly crouched to Britain whenever she pleased to adopt the side of a bragadocio, we have behaved to France with an insolence almost incredible. It is in vain that we seek for the motives of this conduct; they are hidden beyond the ken of the common eye. Reason, gratitude, justice, all oppose it. The friendship displayed by Britain could not allure us:—for she has treated us in a manner so base that the pirates of Algiers themselves would blush to avow practices so contrary to the laws of nature and nations. And yet we have tamely borne it all!—How natural was the warm, enthusiastic expression of Genet, when a manly indignation led him to cry out, "If our fellow citizens have been deceived, if you are not in a condition to maintain the sovereignty of the people, speak: we have guaranteed it when slaves: we know how to render it respectable, having become free." If this language was applicable when it was used, how much more so is it now.—Truly it appears, that it is Water, it is Milk which creeps through the Veins of Americans.

NOTICE.
ALL persons having demands against John May deceased, either for money due to them, or for contracts payable in lands, are requested to transmit to the subscriber a copy of their demands or contracts. All who are indebted to said John May, either for money due to him, or for contracts for land purchased from him, or for locating lands in the state of Kentucky, are requested to make payment, and to perform their specific contracts immediately. The said deceased has by his last will and testament, subjected his lands to the payment of his debts, and the subscriber will make it the first object of his administration to provide for the same, with as much dispatch as the nature and circumstances of the estate will admit of. And whereas the said John May met with a premature death by the hands of the Indians on his passage down the river Ohio, many papers and much information perished with him, 'tis probable the subscriber may need the information of others in some matters relative to the negotiation of the deceased, in the western country, and he will thankfully receive any communications which gentlemen acquainted with the concerns of the deceased, may think proper to make.
I have appointed Mr. Thomas Carneal my agent in Kentucky to receive and forward all communications in that state, alluded to above. As the want of a legal representative since the death of Mr. May, has obstructed all operations relative to his transactions and no doubt to the injury of many, I now intreat that all persons concerned may bring forward their business immediately.

LEXINGTON. PRINTED BY JOHN BRADFORD ON MAIN STREET.

IMPORTANT, VERY IMPORTANT NEWS.
The Betsey, Taylor, arrived at Boston, on Wednesday, the 6th inst. from Bristol, (Eng.) A gentleman passenger, favored us with London papers to May 17, from which we extract the subsequent highly interesting intelligence:
CONSPIRACY AT PARIS.—AUTHENTIC MINUTAE.
COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED.
May 10.
Goddard in the name of a commission, proposed to the Council to authorise the members of the Central Bureau of each of the Cantons of Paris, Bourdeaux, Lyons and Marseilles, to decree the mandates of arrest, and to interrogate persons under accusation, within 24 hours. This examination to be afterwards transmitted, together, with the accused, to the magistrates.
Favard considered this plan as unconstitutional, and accordingly demanded the order of the day.
Doucet supported the plan. He spoke of the necessity of compressing the factions, and of giving to the police means of apprehending them. He profited by this occasion to speak with warmth against the new plots set on foot by the anarchists, at the moment when an endeavor was made to lull the public opinion with respect to the perils with which France was menaced. He pointed out the partisans of Robespierre railing their heads with more audacity than ever, and proposing murder, pillage and fire. He called on the council to pronounce forcibly against every description of conspirators, and not to suffer the constitution to be overturned, under the mask of patriotism.
Royer proceeded to lay before the council a detail of the crimes with which the terrorists menaced Paris. He urged the necessity of adopting the speediest measures to prevent the renewal of the crimes of the month of Prairial. He proposed to the council to augment the armed force stationed without the Hall, and to compose it of one battalion of grenadiers, one battalion of infantry, two squadrons of cavalry and a company of gunners. This force to receive its orders from the president of the council. This proposition excited murmurs. When
A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTORY, Informed the council of the discovery of A NEW CONSPIRACY.
"Citizens, legislators—A horrible plot was intended to be executed to-morrow at day break. Its object was to overturn the French constitution, to murder the legislative body, all the members of government, the officers composing the staff of the army of the interior, and the constituted authorities at Paris. That great Commune was to be delivered up to a general pillage, and to the most horrid massacre.
"The Executive Directory, informed of the place where the chiefs of this terrible conspiracy were assembled, and where they held their committee of revolt, gave orders for their apprehension. Several of them have been taken up, and it is with pain we apprise you, that among them was found one of our colleagues, citizen Drouet, in the very act of conspiracy.
"The Executive Directory calls upon you citizens, legislators, to have the goodness to point out the plan of conduct which ought to follow on this occasion. If you judge that the Executive Directory ought to put seals on Drouet's papers, it prays you to declare your intention on that point.
(Signed)
"CARNOT, President,, Treilhard demanded that the
council should, by resolution, authorise the putting of seals on Drouet's papers.
Defermont observed, that this mode of procedure would be too slow. Imperious circumstances command that this measure should be instantly executed. He demanded therefore that the council should pass to the order of the day on this ground, that the mandate of arrest justified in itself the placing of seals on the papers.—Adopted.
One of the secretaries then read another message from the Directory.
"It cannot be dissembled that the commune of Paris is the resort of the all immoral beings of the Republic. A swarm of dismissed functionaries and of disbanded soldiers, flock to it, and the laws are insufficient to reach them. The Directory demands of the legislative body a law enacting that every ex conventionalist, every dismissed functionary, every soldier not employed, every person convicted of emigration, and every individual not born in France, unless attached to the Deploimatic body, shall be obliged to quit Paris in three days, and to withdraw themselves ten leagues from thence on penalty of transportation. The accused to be tried according to the form prescribed by the law of 27 Germinal."
A commission composed of Treilhard, Mathieu, Camus, Gambacéres and Madier, was charged to present as speedily as possible a plan of a resolution on that head.
After an hour's suspension, that is to say, at five o'clock, the sitting was opened.
Camus, the reporter of the commission, charged to examine the message of the Directory, declared the urgency of adopting the proposed measure, to defeat the plot which was ready to explode, and disperse the ring leaders of the anarchists, become more daring than ever. "Miscreants," said he, "covered with blood and rapine, conspire together. They wish to seize again on the victims who have escaped their rage. The accomplices of Robespierre declare themselves at open war against the continuation and against magistrates who are resolved to maintain it. Let us hasten to put ourselves in a state of defence. The message of the Directory has shewn you all the extent of the danger. Let us furnish it with the means of preventing the explosion." Camus now read a plan, censuring to exile from Paris, within three days, and to drive to ten leagues at least from thence, ex-constitutionalists not re-elected, and not invested with public functions; all the public functionaries dismissed since the 9th Thermidor; all the generals or soldiers dismissed or disbanded; all those to whom amnesties were granted the crimes of 4th Brumaire; all those who were apprehended or in accusation, or condemned, and who owe their liberty entirely to that amnesty; all foreigners not settled in France prior to 1789, and who are not attached to the ministers of the neutral powers now in Paris; and all those convicted of emigration, whose names have not been definitively erased from the lists. Those who shall be found in Paris, or within the distance of ten leagues after the time pointed out, shall be sentenced to transportation, the Directory being at the same time authorised to retain those whose presence it may think necessary for the public service."
The urgency was decreed, and the plan put to vote, article by article.
Chazal proposed an amendment, viz. that together with the Ex-Conventionalists, all the old members of the Constituent and Legislative Assemblies should be also expelled from Paris.—Murmurs.
He was desired to put his absurd proposition to the vote.
Chazal, in reply—Two constitutions were made before the one we now have. The members of the constituent assembly are the authors of the first, those of the convention the authors of that of 1792: both of them are equally hostile to ours—(murmurs.) These are my motives.
Guyomard, Dubois-Crance, Tallot, and several other members, declare that they would support them.
Linard was of opinion that the mode in which Chazal supported his amendment rendered it unnecessary to refute it. "Opinions," said he, "are not the questions here! neither are we to pay attention to errors: we are now to strike at conspirators. What would be the fate of a great number of members sitting here, if it were criminal to have had a share in framing a bad constitution? What would become of Chazal himself? Was he not in the convention in those days of mourning, when he was made to consent to the constitution of 1791?"
Here Chazal became violently agitated. He exclaimed that he had protested against the 31st May and the 2d June, and that he was known for his abhorrence of the decemviral tyranny.
Linard—"so much the better. It is without doubt glorious to have been then prescribed, but I am far from thinking that it was criminal to have had the misfortune to be seated by the side of our tyrants. It is still less so to have consented to a constitution which carried the stamp of prejudice, that still existed at the time it was made, and for having merely laid the foundations of the liberty which others afterwards fixed on more stable bases, and more solid foundations. I demand the previous question of Chazal's amendment, and the adoption of the article."
Henri Larivière, who had been reproached for having preferred so long a silence, not having as yet spoken in the council, at length ascended the tribune.—"What then," exclaimed he, "is this madness of taking opinions for plots? Why thus confound men for the greater part enlightened by the very experience they have had of the defects of an essay, badly conceived, badly executed, but perhaps, commanded by the errors which then prevailed in France? Why confound these men with the monsters who have covered this wretched country with dead bodies and ruins, who thirst for the blood of the French, who are emboldened by our pusillanimity, and to whom a fatal indulgence and a long candour on our side, have given as much audacity as the men of worth, too long calumniated, and too long persecuted, have of timidity and weakness?—What connexion is there between the political errors of the constituent assembly and the attempts which the directory announces to you, the crimes which are preparing around us, and the plans of assassination and revolt, which are now hatching around us? What! are we to be butchered this night! the chiefs of the government are to be murdered! a vast pillage, commenced in this tribune, was to extend throughout all France! on our palpitating bodies the anarchial code of 1793 was to be reared, and the thirst of booty was to extend round the greatest miscreants, all the abominations of France! The authors of the plot are taken in the very commission of their crime. It is impossible to mistake them: the directory has their names, and by the directory they have been apprehended. The executive government dreads, with reason, that their numerous accomplices will renew their plot, disconcerted for a moment, but which they may resume to save their chiefs, and to prevent their confes-
sions. And it is at this moment that an endeavor is made to change the course of your indignation—to turn your view from the enemies who are arranged in battle array before you—to carry your intention to peaceable men, for the greater part resigned; and who are resolved to maintain with us the constitution of 1795, to which many of them heartily consented. We have to long been the dupes of this manœuvre. We have too long had rung in our ears the never ending plots of the paracidal horde, which like birds of prey, seems to be incapable of subsisting unless on destruction. If after the 1st Prairial of the last year, less indulgence had been shown to the ringleaders, they would not at this day have drawn their words against us. It would indeed appear, that the same epochs are each year to bring round the same attempts on their parts—the same tasks on ours; that we, who were so long proscribed by them, and whose only asylums were to woods and tobs, were victims devoted to their fury: but no—they will not triumph by wearying our patience; they will perhaps render us wiser and more vigilant. The executive directory furnishes a great example. Deceived itself also by those who devoted it to immediate destruction, it replies in a manner worthy of itself, to the most dangerous enemies of the Republic, by denouncing them courageously and frankly, and by denouncing against them the measures which the urgency of the danger renders necessary. It is truly this day that all inquietudes vanish, and that the directory enters into the possession of the national confidence. And this time, when it displays the purest intentions, and aims at deriving the homage of every good citizen, is to be denied the means of force and repetition which it needs? No, let us second the directory: let us assist it in chaining those who conspire for massacre and plunder.
Let us, like the directory see but two classes of citizens—those who are for a constitution, and those who are against it. This is our signal of recognition! Let the pact vanish with regard to all those who are now sincere observers of the laws; and who, whatever their errors may have been formerly, respectfully submit to the will of the French nation, expressed in the constitution of 1795. Let us take care lest by confounding the innocent with the guilty, should weaken the just horror which belongs to those who having been the executioners of France, wish to become so again. These are culpable and have been apprehended in the committee of revolt. In so clear a case how can you hesitate."
The previous question on Chazal's amendment was called for on all sides. The amendment was almost unanimously rejected.
Andre Dumont proposed another amendment. He thought that there would be danger in suffering to remain in Paris, three days, the men who might to-morrow butcher the greater part of the National Representatives, and the Directory. "If Cecero," said he, "had allowed three days to the accomplices of Cataline to quit Rome, the Republic would have been lost. In three days the miscreants, just discovered by the Directory, may rally, break the chains of their accomplices, seduce a part of the citizens, and put themselves in a state to resist your laws. It is sufficient to give them 24 hours to quit Paris. —(Murmurs.)—Citizens, let us no longer sleep in a painful security—it has nigh been fatal to us. During three months we have been on the brink of the precipice—during three months those have been described to us the only good citizens, who to-morrow fattened with blood and pillage, were to re-elect scaffolds, and to reconquer the reign of terror.

with having granted them the pardon, which they now employ to conspire afresh against the Constitution, it is to them alone that the most important functions have been entrusted. It is at their call, for their advantage, that the chosen of the people have been with too much facility deprived of their functions. But let us banish these sad remembrances. We will pass over the inevitable errors, perhaps committed by those who in the midst of so many storms held the rudder of state. The Directory has made the constitution triumph. It has by its courageous developments acquired a new right to public confidence. Let us second it in the war it wages against the most dangerous enemies of the Republic be continued for a moment, they will soon revive their plots if we cease to watch them. Call to your recollection, that subdued on the 12th Germinal of the last year they rallied their forces silently, and returned more formidable still on the 13th, to bathe in the blood of our unfortunate colleague Ferraud.—If since that period less indulgence had been shown them—if we had been less blind to their plans, they would not be now seen calling aloud for the heads of the National Representatives and the Members of the Directory. In despair in having lost the power to do mischief, they are resolved to recover again at any price. They do not adjourn their fury; and let us, on our side, adjourn the measures called for by prudence at the moment when they are caught in fact. I demand as an amendment, they shall be obliged to quit Paris within 24 hours.
This amendment was combated by Doulcet, who commenced its rejection.
A tumultuous discussion ensued on the expulsion of the Conventionals, not re-elected, from Paris. Leharde Tallien, Dubois-Crance, Guyonard, Talbot, and several others, made fruitless efforts in their favor. They said that such a measure would tend to throw an odium on the Convention. In spite of their arguments however, the plan presented by Camus, was adopted without any alteration.

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 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 McGregor, in Frankfort to Mr. George Madison, in Versailles to Doctor Preston, or to
J. GRANT, W. HENRY, J. HAWKINS, Managers.
Any person purchasing 20 tickets, shall have a credit until the Lottery is drawn.
Notice is hereby given to all whom it may concern, that commissioners appointed by the county court of Bourbon, will meet on the 17th day of August next, at the beginning called for in entries made in the name of John Tabb, containing twenty thousand acres, on clear creek, a branch of Hingston, at two white ash saplings from one root, with the letter K marked on each of them—then and there to take the depositions of certain witnesses for the purpose of perpetuating testimony, and do such other acts as they may think proper and agreeable to law.
