A Scheme of Chances of Insurance
On the Lottery authorized by Law for raising 2250 dollars, for the Lexington Lodge, No 25; to raise the same sum for the purpose of repairing the streets building stone bridges, paving, &c. the town of Lexington.
THE trustees of the town of Lexington, as the representatives of the inhabitants, submit the following scheme to their constituents, and to the citizens of the state at large. The inhabitants of the town, whether merchants, tradesmen or mechanics, and the farmers, planters and labourers of the country mutually depend upon, and assist each other. The inhabitants of the town have something to dispose of to the cultivator of the land, which he cannot manufacture for himself at the same price; on the other hand, as his occupation prevents him from sharing by his own labor in the field, the produce of the country, he is compelled to receive in return, for what he has furnished to the husbandman, that produce, either in the article itself, or the price of it.
These observations are verified by the great rise in the value of landed property adjacent to the town of Lexington, so superior to the rise of property of the same description in other parts of the state, which can only be accounted for by the rapid improvement and increase of population in the town.
To the citizens of the town of Lexington, the trustees suggest that with the sums authorized by law to be collected and appropriated by them, the proceeds of seven years taxes will be insufficient to build stone bridges, to make sewers for carrying off the water, to sink wells and erect pumps (the necessity of which has been evidenced by the late calamity by fire) and to make such other repairs, as are necessary for the health, safety and convenience of their fellow-citizens. What purpose the temporary repairs heretofore made, have answered, which have even exceeded the amount of their funds, every citizen can determine.
To the citizens of the state at large, they suggest that all increase of population is an increase of wealth; and that the increase of inhabitants who are employed in trade, merchandise or manufactures, and who do not cultivate the earth, must increase the demand for the necessaries of life, and the competition of purchasers for a foreign market; and that the proposed improvement of the town is the most likely way to procure such increase of population.
The trade and communication between the town and the country, resembles the circulation of the blood, it is first impelled to the heart, and from thence driven to warm and invigorate the most extreme parts.
The scheme they propose is, that they will issue the same number of chances of insurance, as there are tickets in the Lexington Lodge lottery, with the same numbers, and at the same price, and they will pay to the holder of a chance of the same number, as a ticket which shall draw a prize in that lottery, the same sum which the fortunate holder of the ticket shall be entitled to. The fortunate holders of chances of insurance, to be subject as the fortunate holders of tickets in that lottery, to a deduction of fifteen per centum.

A credit of one half of any number of chances shall be given until the said lottery shall have finished drawing. If the several sums which shall become due to the holders of chances shall not be called for within eighteen months, they will be considered as donations.
These chances of insurance depend upon the drawing of the Lexington Lodge lottery authorized by law, an account of the drawing of which is to be published in the Kentucky papers, showing the blanks and prizes.
Tickets may be had by applying to Hugh McLean, James Morrison, Robert Patterson, George Taggard, Alexander Parker, Thomas January, and James Hughes, trustees of the town of Lexington, who will manage the insurance, and be answerable for prizes.

MADRID, Jan. 2.
Our letters from Cadiz state, that the squadron commanded by Admiral Alva, has sailed with a great number of troops and a large train of artillery—it will be immediately followed by another squadron, under the command of Admiral Solano. These maritime forces are destined for Mexico, and it is said to be their object to succour our establishments in that quarter, which are attacked on all sides by the Indians.
VIENNA, Feb. 25.
The departure of his royal highness arch duke Charles to the army of the lower Rhine, of which he is to be commander in chief, is fixed for the 10th of next month. His equipage consisted of 62 persons and 100 horses, besides those of the train and remount, set out from this capital on the 17th inst. Almost immediately after the arrival of his royal highness at his head quarters the campaign will be opened; it will continue to be carried on offensively, and, according to every appearance, will be still more vigorous and sanguinary than the preceding ones, it being resolved, on, as we are told, that it shall be decisive. To carry the strength of our forces to its highest possible degree, the number of troops in the different cantonments is reduced to a degree that has been unexampled in any preceding war. In those cantonments, even in those of the frontiers, but one division intended for the exercise of the new recruits, will be left. In short, all the soldiery are to march either for the Rhine or for Italy; and the place of the battalions which are to set out will be filled with recruits. On the 17th, 18th and 19th, 100,000 men were in motion.

The Italian states are exasperated by the treaty with the Algerines by which we permit these corsairs to sell their prizes in our ports and of Corsica. It is demanded that the English will permit them to sell their slaves also there. The corsairs of Corsica will by this become the resort of these pirates, and all the coasts of Italy will be invested with their depredations. Is this a thing, they say, for England to countenance? Is this the use of their new papers on the table of the commons there is one item of 100,000 for bills drawn from England and that said only to be paid. The fee simple of the soil is worth half the money.
BOSTON; April 15.

March 13.
The Paris papers to the 6th were received in town on Thursday, which brought nothing important; they only mention, that a restraint is going to be put on the liberty of the press, and that no journal (public print) will be in future permitted to circulate by the Post, except such as are acknowledged by government, and approved by the censors established by them, for the purpose of examining such publications. This restraint enrages many of the journalists against the executive directory, some of whom do not scruple to say, that such an arbitrary inquisition was never attempted even by Robespierre. Others say that they do not imagine that such a measure will pass the two councils.
A mail from Hamburg arrived this morning.—There is now hardly a possibility of any event occurring to prevent the recommencement of hostilities—all sides seem bent upon the decision of human wretchedness and misery, and only wait till the weather will permit them to take the field.

Last Monday, passed through this town an express for Niagara, Surinam have been frequent on the object of this express:—Some say he carries orders for the evacuation of the Western Posts, agreeable to Treaty; others that in consequence of the President's refusal to deliver certain papers relative to the treaty, he carries orders for a detention of the Posts, until such time as the necessary appropriations for carrying it into effect, are granted. Time will develop the true object of the express.
NEW YORK, April 25.
By the arrivals from London and Bristol on Saturday we have London papers to March the 16th which furnish a variety of information. The most agreeable account is some prospect of PEACE. The only ground of this expectation is that some ministerial papers announce from high authority, that negotiations are on the carpet between Great Britain and France.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman of Augusta (Georgia) to his friend in this city dated April 12.
SINCE my last nothing of importance has turned up here. The fundry certificates you wished me to procure, cannot possibly be had at this time, because Clayton has not yet delivered over to Berrian a schedule of the monies in the treasury.
On my way from Washington court I called at Louisville about 8 days ago to procure the papers you wanted, but Berrian was gone to Savannah and nothing could be done; by his agent upon examining the records in the Secretary's office, I find that the Ex-Senator has omitted to consume that part of the record which contained the mortgages, they remain entire, and being drawn up very specially they contain all the material parts of the law with a certificate on the face of them that the purchase money has been paid in full. It will appear from the monies delivered by the old to the new treasurer that Gen. Jackson had one of his warrants paid out of the Yazoo money, the other is said he kept for the purpose of paying taxes.
Few is appointed the judge for this district but the whole bar agree that the appointment is illegal and unconstitutional. At Washington there could be no business done, from a defect in the jury, but as the court was opened I stated in open court my objections to the constitutionality of his commission and was supported by others of the bar, the objections alarmed him much and he adjourned after saying that they had weight, and he would give them an attentive consideration. It may truly be said that the state is in more confusion now than at any period since the revolution. Letters from Savannah mention that the bar of this place have determined that there shall be no courts alleging a defect in the judiciary about the juror's oath they wish by this to procure a call of the legislature, should they effect this the whole Chatham representation now hold offices and that county must have a new election or be unrepresented except by James Jones.

He also says the king of Spain has had a conference on the frontiers of Portugal, with the Duke Regent. His Catholic majesty's mediation in negotiating a peace between Portugal and the Republic of France was supposed to be the purport of the meeting.
STAUNTON, April 22, 1796.
Extract of a letter from a respectable gentleman in Lexington (Virginia) to the editor, dated April 12, 1796.
Yesterday at 3 o'clock in the afternoon a fire broke out at Mr. Windle's stable from which it instantly extended to his dwelling house and with unparalleled rapidity to all the buildings near the main street until it was fortunately stopped at Mr. Buffs: the wind blowing a brisk gale between N.W. and West, and the extreme dryness of the season gave to the flames such a degree of violence that the utmost exertions of the inhabitants proved fruitless. The fire was sometimes carried by the wind to the distance of one hundred and fifty yards. The loss of the inhabitants was very considerable but a few minutes could be employed in rescuing any kind of property about twenty dwelling houses, ten stores, a number of lumber houses, shops &c. were burnt. The whole damage cannot reasonably be estimated at less than thirty thousand pounds—many of the inhabitants in an hour were reduced from affluence to poverty. The place exhibits a scene of desolation—providentially no lives were lost; although from the blowing up of houses by gun powder several people were badly wounded.
PITTSBURGH, May 7.
Extract of a letter from Philadelphia, dated April 29.
“In committee of the whole

house, the question was this day taken upon resolution for appropriating money to carry the British treaty into execution, 49 for, 49 against it. Mr. Muhlenberg, the chairman, decided in favor of the appropriation. The members of this state divided as follows—Muhlenberg, Richards, Thomas, Sitgreaves, Kittera, Hartly, for it; Gallatin, Findley, Baird, Gregg, Maclay, Heister, Swanwick, against it.
The people are now roused, & petitions are coming from all parts of the union to which the news of the debate has extended. The Virginians are petitioning—Madison's own county has sent him in petitions in favor of the appropriation.
Although the question has been carried in the committee of the whole, there is yet great doubt of the event. Six members were out of the house; most of them out of town, four of these have been opposed to the treaty and may yet come into negative. The opposition however begins to shake: the force of reason and the sense of the people must prevail. An obstinate number it is probable may still hold out but, nor I hope, sufficient to defeat the treaties; for the fate of all is involved in one. The cessation of business, the rapid fall of produce, destruction of confidence and credit, have operated immensely and all affairs will fall into confusion.

Extract of a letter from a member of the Methodist Church in England, to his correspondent in Baltimore, dated January 13, 1796.
"Our government has requested the Methodists throughout the three kingdoms (who amount to near one hundred thousand number) to declare their approbation of the present king; and, what is still worse, to engage to support the house of Hanover. In regard to the former, the greater part would give him the preference, but as to the latter, they think it extremely arbitrary, nor will they comply with it in general, let the consequence be what it may."
"Many of the preachers are much alarmed Dr. C. has sent circular letters to every assistant preacher in the connexion. Some societies are coming forward in parts, but others refuse to come at all, and to others, the matter is still kept a secret. Such is the present comfortable state here. I assure you we stand much in need of your prayers, that God would over-rule all for good—I really believe he will."

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 sale 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 Preston, or to J. GRANT, W. HENRY, Managers. J. HAWKINS.

Thomas had her in fall 1792. And also a bay filly, two years old, neither docked nor branded, no white, and went away about the 28th March last.
