LEXINGTON; Printed by JOHN BRADFORD, at his Office on Cross Street; where Subscriptions, (at Fifteen Shillings per Annum) Advertisements &c. are thankfully received, and Printing in its different branches done with care and expedition.
At a meeting of sundry inhabitants of the state of Kentucky, in Lexington the 8th of July, 1793; to wit:
Richard Steele, Robert Sanders, John Hambleton, Daniel Barbee, William Trotter, Joseph Rogers, Thomas A. Thomson, and Peter Barnett; having taken into consideration the excise law, and the circumstances of our country, are of opinion, that collecting taxes under the excise law in specie only, will be oppressive to the people of this country, in our present situation, as we cannot carry our produce to market through the channel of the Mississippi. Therefore we are of opinion, it is not improper to address first the people of Kentucky; second, the legislature of this state, and thirdly, the Congress of the United States.
Fisicas and Countrymen.
WE have taken into consideration the excise law passed by Congress, and are of opinion it is unjust, because our navigation is stopt (by the Spaniards) which is our natural and constitutional right; while the other states in the union have their ports open, and can sell their produce for specie; and as allegiance and protection are reciprocal, the United States ought to see that we are equally protected in our trade before we are to be expected to pay equal taxes under the excise law in specie only. If we pay seven cents per gallon in Kentucky, when our navigation is stopped, it will be much more burthensome to us than it would be if our navigation was open. If this be true, then it will follow of course, that the excise law is much more oppressive to the people of Kentucky than to those of the other states. It is the business of the legislature to find out ways and means to have justice done to all parts of the community. If we were allowed to pay our taxes under the excise law in produce at a reasonable price, it would be more just, though not fully so; and if this was fully made known to the distillers before they were required to pay, they might make choice, either to pursue or quit the business. We hope you will join us in our petitions to the legislature of this state, and also to Congress; and altho' we are informed our former petition or memorial to Congress concerning this business, was laid on the table and neglected; yet we think it is probable they may hear and redress our grievances, if we could bring them to see our situation as it really is. That we are as a barrier to part of the other states against the savages, sustaining such damages as we do by their murdering and plundering our people to a very great amount in every year.—Our trade being stopped—our country but very little improved, and of course we cannot have cyder and beer as substitutes for spirits distilled, as the people have in the old country.

Foreign Intelligence.
FRANCE. NATIONAL CONVENTION. Letter from the Commissioners on the Northern Frontiers.
Valenciennes, April 23.
"We have the satisfaction to inform you, that we have gained a new advantage over the enemy. They attacked yesterday near Naumburg, in three columns and with six pieces of cannon, one of our advanced posts, which being inferior in number, fell back on the camp. General Mombouly immediately proceeded from the camp with a reinforcement of nine pieces of cannon. The combat was obstinate, and continued from five in the morning until three in the evening. Our troops fought with so much bravery that they forced the enemy to retire with precipitation. They left a great number of men on the field of battle, and as in their flight they did not find the bridge sufficiently broad, many of them passed the Sambre by swimming. The citizens of Maubeuge in case of a serious attack, have sworn that they will bury themselves under the ruins of the place, and hang the first person who shall speak of capitulation. Overt and Chastelmont wait for the enemy with the same resolution. In short, our enemies are not to be dreaded at present; the reports given to us are not alarming. The enemy spend their time in parade and making false attacks. Their principal object, it is said, is Valenciennes, but they will not succeed."
OLEND, April 29.
I have not been able to learn anything, since my last, of what is going on in France. A gentleman, who arrived here from Dunkirk yesterday, says, that Maudit had refused to submit to the voice of the Assembly for sending him to the Abbey prison. We are told that Dumourier, having entirely failed in his enterprise, has leave from the Prince de Cobourg to retire into Switzerland, and it is said that he, with the Duke de Chartres, Pamela Eggle, Mad. Sillery, and General Valence, had set out for that country.
ISLE, April 23.
General Dampierre has come hither to review the battalions of the departments of the north, and Pas-de-Calais.
A camp of about 14,000 men is forming at Cassel, under the command of General Omar.
The Abbey of Marquette is burnt.
Conde, Quesnoy and Valenciennes are in a manner blockaded by the enemy, who are bringing all their forces to that point of the frontier. General Dampierre has added 20,000 to his means of defence. Bloody engagements take place every day. That of the 16th continued from four in the morning till eight at night.
COLOGNE, April 18.
This morning early N. Dumourier, accompanied by four of his officers, arrived in this city; it is said he intends setting off again immediately to continue his journey towards Switzerland. He is looked upon here as a man who is afraid of himself, and is under continual apprehensions of meeting a very cruel death, assassins, who would be glad to earn the 100,000 livres which the convention have offered for his head.
American Occurrences.
NEW-YORK, June 27.
Extract of a letter from London, dated May 1, to a Merchant in this city.
"I find trouble at home as well
as abroad: Mr. Pitt has been lately heard to say very nearly as much as that he will treat with the convention, or the men of the day, if no better can be done. He is so much frightened at the home situation, that he will make terms with France, and next packet will confirm to you what I now write."
The Prussian advanced posts are very near Mentz. The French have entirely evacuated the Duchy of Deux Ponts.
NORFOLK, June 29.
On Monday last a vessel arrived here from Boston, the Captain of which reported, that before he failed, a vessel arrived at that port; by her intelligence was received, that General Dampierre had defeated the combined armies near Dunkirk, in a general action. It is true, a correspondent remarks, that we have no authentic advices of this action, yet it surely has as much probability for its support, as Dumourier's loss of the 25,000, so greedily swallowed by some folks. An Editor is certainly very commendable for refusing insertion to any thing which has not the appearance of truth; but some people remind us of the old proverb, "we gape at gnats and swallow camels."
BALTIMORE, July 2.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at York-Town (Virginia) to a gentleman in this town, dated June 29.
"We have just learnt from Norfolk, that the English have taken St. Lucia, and that General Dampierre had defeated the Austrians, commanded by Saxe Cobourg and Clairfayt near Valenciennes, killing 4000 men, and taking 1700 prisoners."
Lexington, August 17.
About the first instant the Indians killed a man at the Big Bone Lick, and stole several horses.
On the eighth they stole several horses belonging to the Contractors, about 7 miles from Fort-Washington.
TO THE REPUBLICAN.
Sir, THE licentiousness of the present period is more fully evinced by the train of your address to the Printer of the Kentucky Gazette, than by any publication which has ever appeared in this country. I read it with surprise and indignation. What! Sir, do you suppose that a member of Congress is responsible to his constituents for his vote? Have you, as one of them, been so vain of your consequence, as to believe that he is accountable to you for his conduct? What has led you to hope that a man who has shone at the President's Levee—who has dined with the Vice-President—who has supped with the Secretary of War, and who has, perhaps, bowed at an humble distance, to the Secretary of the Treasury, would condescend to answer your presumptuous enquiries? Stupid Republican! thy old fashioned ideas have induced me to believe that thou art one of those who emigrated to the wilds of Kentucky, before the commencement of the present happy Federal Government; and that thou still retainest the obsolete principles of 1776. Had you been acquainted with the history of the General Government, you would have been convinced of the glaring impropriety of your address. By framing it in modest unassuming language you expected to interest your fellow citizens in the enquiry. But they well know that a Representative in Congress, is not less independent than a Senator; and they know too, that the Senate have refused to admit their fellow citizens to hear their debates, altho' instructed to do so by
legislatures of a majority of the States. It gives me pleasure to find, that your address has been treated with the most contemptuous and mortifying silence. I hope the gentleman alluded to, will treat every attempt to obtain information on the part of his constituents, with the same laudable neglect. You Sir, may, in your ill-nature, continue this silence into a confession of guilt, but you cannot thereby palliate or excuse your insolence. If he cannot in a satisfactory manner, explain his conduct, if he cannot assign any sufficient reasons in vindication of his vote, then your enquiry is evidently proper, inasmuch as it tends to expose his want of integrity or knowledge, and thereby to diminish the confidence of his constituents. Mr. Bradford's papers might have convinced you that this vote could not be justified on any known principles, and that his reasons for giving it must have been of a private nature. Indeed I have heard that he has informed his friends that this was the case; and that the documents which justified the Secretary of the Treasury in dissipating upwards of two hundred thousand dollars of public money, were confidential. Ought not this account of the business to satisfy any moderate reasonable man? Must every republican be permitted to dive into the arcana of government? Let me advise you, Sir, not to poison the public mind with your impertinent enquiries; but to believe that your Representative, like the monarch of our mother country, whose politics we now so happily imitate, "CAN DO NO WRONG."
A FRIEND TO GOVERNMENT.

SECT. 1. BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, that the second, third and fourth sections of the Act entitled "An Act to provide for the settlement of the claims of widows and orphans barred by the limitations heretofore established and to regulate the claims to invalid pensions," be repealed, and that in future, all claims to such pensions shall be regulated in the manner following, to wit:

Thirdly, Every claimant shall be examined upon oath or affirmation, by two physicians or surgeons, to be authorised by commission from the said Judge, who shall report in writing, their opinion, upon oath or affirmation, of the nature of the said disability, and, in what degree it prevents the claimant from obtaining his livelihood, by labor.
Fourthly, Every claimant shall produce evidence of the time of his leaving the service of the United States. He must also produce evidence of three reputable freeholders of the city, town or county, in which he usually resided, for the two years immediately after he left the service, as aforesaid, of the existence of his disability during that period, and ascertain-
ing, of their own knowledge, the mode of life, employment, labor, or means of support of the claimant.
Fifthly, And the said claimant must produce the evidence of two credible witnesses, of the continuance of his disability, from the expiration of the said two years, to the time of his application.
Sixthly, Each claimant must show a good and sufficient cause why he did not apply for a pension to the person or persons authorised to examine his claim, on or before the eleventh of December, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight, the time limited for applications of this nature.
Seventhly, No evidence of any claimant shall be admitted, whose claim has been examined and rejected, on or before the aforesaid eleventh of December, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight.

CHANSON PATRIOTIQUE: La fiere Autriche nous brave.
Translated from the French.
H ARK, the Austrian proudly dares us, Conqueror of the Turkisli slaves; Sons of Galla fly to combat,— Vid'ry must attend the brave. By the Patriot's virtuous labors, Liberty her throne regains: On the head of ev'ry Despot, People we will break our chains. War we wage against oppression; From the tyrants of the earth, We demand the rights of Nature, Given at creation's birth. Lo! the throne of ev'ry Despot In the dust degraded lies; From the ruins of each palace See the happy cottage rise.
Liberty, our native country, Are the Gods to whom we bend; In this cause, so lov'd, so glorious, Conquest shall our steps attend; 'Tis retolv'd—the cannon thunders, Peace no more resumes her seat, Till the world's oppressors, hum- bled, Supplicate at Gallia's feet.
All our days, already number'd By a great o'er-riding pow'r, No designs of human prudence Can prolong their course an hour: Doom'd to death the moment writ- ten, 'Tis in vain the coward flies, Fate arrests him in her fury, Strikes indignant, and he dies.
Why should death appal the Patriot When he falls opposing kings? 'Tis the brave man's peaceful slum- ber,
Under Glory's shading wings; His soul with his country triumphs, When her banner conqu'ring flies; In our graceful bosoms cherish'd, His remembrance never dies.
Five Dollars Reward.
