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.

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.

TUESDAY, December 13.
[Continued.]
Mr. W. Smith insisted that it was always usual to take up the address in answer to the speech, on the ensuing day. It had even sometimes been adopted the same day on which it was given in. Gentlemen were not consistent in the mode of their objections. They first opposed the address being taken up, on account of their not having had time to read it. A little after they began to make references to parts of it, which shews that they must have read it. As to France, the house undoubtedly were not committed by any thing in it. There had been a studied generality of expression on that point. There were but two points, as Mr. Smith understood it, in the address, which could admit of argument—one relating to the dispute with France—the other as to returning thanks to the President for his long and faithful services. The former had been got over in such a way as to be safe from remark. As to the latter, he hoped that no gentleman in the house required till to-morrow to deliberate and determine whether it was proper to thank the President for his services. With respect to the unfinished business of yesterday, the report on Henry Hill's case had been deferred because it was complicated, and gentlemen who did not comprehend it yesterday, were most of them not likely to have yet found time for investigating its contents. Mr. Smith stated the bad effects which would arise from delaying to return an answer to the President. It would spread an unfavorable opinion of the understanding between the different branches of government. He referred to the presenting the French flag, as an affair hurried through with an enthusiasm admitting of no deliberation.
Mr. Gilbert had no objection to the address lying over for an hour or two. As we understood the gentleman, he was against any farther delay.
Mr. Nicholas had as much respect, as any member, for the chief magistrate. For this reason he wished the address not to be hurried through the house on this day. A delay would have a more respectable appearance. He wished, in the last part of the administration of the chief magistrate, to show him every mark of esteem. Some things in the address had struck him as improper. Perhaps mature reflection might convince him that they were right. "I hardly know the meaning of the answer, said Mr. Nicholas. As to precedents, I am surprised to hear them spoken of in a case like this. The state of affairs, on every occasion like this, is always new; and of consequence, no two answers to speeches can, in all their circumstances, be alike." Mr. Nicholas hoped, that the house did not think the address a mere matter of course. A doctrine like this would go to trammel substance in form. The member from Pennsylvania (Mr. Sitgreaves) had urged the case of citizen Ader. Its precipitation seemed to be condemned. This was a good reason why it should not be imitated; in that case, the affair was merely about a sentiment. Every member could, at once, appeal to his heart and say whether he approved of addressing the Ambassador, or if he did not. But here was a matter that required the utmost deliberation. It was deeply involved in public business. In the course of his speech, Mr. Nicholas repeatedly expressed his solicitude to avoid any thing which looked unlike unanimity with the President.
On a division as to the question—Shall the unfinished business be deferred? there were Ayes 31, Noes 43.—By this division it would appear, that about thirty members of the house had not yet come to town.
Mr. Forster then moved, that the discussion of Henry Hill's petition and report should be deferred till to-morrow. Ayes 48. Carried.
Mr. W. Smith then moved for the order of the day, on the President's speech. The reader, from what has been above stated, will observe, that this motion had not on the former division been directly negatived. It had only met with what may be called a side wind. This was the reason why the former state of the question was so particularly explained; For when a
motion has been directly negatived, it cannot be again immediately proposed. The rules of the house provide against such a way of waiting time.
Gentlemen objected that Mr. W. Smith was here only bringing forward the same motion, in a new shape, which, as above explained, was really the case. He withdrew it to make room for another, that though by implication decided, had not yet received a direct affirmative. The question was—Whether the house shall defer till to-morrow the taking up of the address?
When a division was going to take place, Mr. Coit arose. If a single gentleman has not read the printed address, Mr. Coit would alone vote against taking it up this day. If he wanted a delay, the house should indulge him. Mr. Coit had the greatest confidence in the gentleman who drafted the address. He had no fears that they had inserted any thing but what was proper, at the same time, he had not read the printed copy. He had not found time for doing so. It had, it was true, been read to the house by the Clerk, but it was well known that such readings were not much attended to, on the faith of its being thereafter printed. Mr. Coit thought that a delay till to-morrow was of importance. He observed, that though the committee had been directed, so far back as Thursday last, to draft an address, it had not appeared for four days, viz. till the Monday following. The house might surely be allowed one day to deliberate. These are the principal ideas of Mr. Coit, and they seemed to make a strong impression. The question of postponement past without a division, by a very loud AYE. The NOES were scarcely audible. No division took place.
WEDNESDAY, December 14.
The house then took up the order of the day, and went into a committee of the whole, Mr. Muhlenberg in the chair, on the report of the select committee of an address in answer to the president's speech. It was first read by the clerk, and then, in paragraphs by the chairman. In the second paragraph, it speaks of maintaining "the tranquility of the interior frontier." This expression Mr. Venable did not understand. He proposed Western frontier. The amendment past.
Mr. Ames remarked, that, in the fourth paragraph, there was an error of mutual relations instead of neutral relations. This was not an object of amendment, for it was a deviation of the printed copy from the manuscript. He might have added another curious erratum in the last paragraph, where a hope is expressed that the example of the president will guide his predecessors.
In the fourth paragraph, Mr. Giles proposed an amendment. The sentence ran thus: "Your endeavors to fulfil that wish cannot fail therefore to interest our attention." At the word "wish," Mr. Giles wanted an amendment to the following purpose: "And by all honorable means to preserve peace, and restore that harmony and affection, which have heretofore happily subsisted between the French Republic and this country." A few other words could not be distinctly heard but this was the whole meaning. We understood that Mr. Giles wanted to strike out the remaining words in the sentence—"cannot fail therefore to interest our attention."
Mr. Giles said that in proposing this amendment he had two points in view. One was to express a reluctance of entering into a French war. The second was to get the address entirely recommitted, which would save him the trouble of pointing out the objections to it. When he reflected on the calamities of war in general, and of a French war in particular, he was filled with much anxiety.
Mr. W. Smith saw no objection to this amendment. Mr. Ames wanted, before agreeing to it, to learn what other amendments the gentleman had to propose upon this paragraph and wished the gentleman from Virginia to speak out with candor and fairness. He thought that he had heard him propose another amendment on this paragraph, which was to strike out the sentence next after that now in discussion; to such an amendment Mr. Ames never would consent. [It is apprehended that Mr. Ames mistook what Mr. Giles meant, which was on-
ly to strike out the words "cannot fail, &c." as above marked, for a design in Mr. Giles to strike out the whole ensuing sentence.]
Mr. Giles rose and declared that he had spoke upon this occasion, as he usually spoke in that house. He had stated his opinions with plainness and candor. He had no design to strike out the ensuing sentence.
The amendment passed unanimously. Mr. Giles then proposed an amendment of the latter part of that ensuing sentence. In the printed copy, the words stand thus. "We cherish the pleasing hope, that a spirit of justice and moderation, on the part of the republic, will insure the success of your perseverance."
Mr. Giles wanted to strike out these words, on the part of the republic , and to insert, after the words a spirit of , the word mutual . Hence the whole clause would read thus, "We cherish the pleasing hope, that a spirit of mutual justice and moderation will insure the success of your perseverance." By this alteration, an appearance of reflecting on France was avoided. Mr. Giles believed a spirit of moderation and justice as necessary on our part as on theirs, for accomplishing a reconciliation. The amendment passed unanimously.
Mr. Muhlenberg now went on in reading the address without interruption, till he came to the last paragraph but one. It begins with these words, "The spectacle of a whole nation, the freest and most enlightened in the world , offering by its representatives," &c. Mr. Parker proposed to strike out those words in Italics. If we are not what we describe ourselves to be, it is not proper that we should say so. If we are such, it is sufficient that we know it. This was the scope of what Mr. Parker said. From the lowness of his voice, it is often difficult to do justice to this gentleman, who for concise elegance of expression can be excelled by no member in the house.
Mr. Harper wished to make a motion which would supersede that of Mr. Parker; he was for striking out all that part of the address which followed the word regret , with which we contemplate your intended retirement from office; at the end of the seventh paragraph he proposed another in its place more concise, more simple, more suitable to the dignity of the house, and the dignity of him whom they were to address. It was often improper to give too much scope to feeling, amplitude of expression frequently weakened an idea.
Mr. Giles had objections to several paragraphs of the report. As Mr. Parker had been superseded by Mr. Harper, so the latter gentleman was in a way superseded by Mr. Giles, who wanted to have all struck out that followed the word importance , which closed the fifth clause; he wished the whole to be re-committed, not doubting but that the committee would be able to bring the address forward in a shape more consonant with the feelings of the house, and more agreeable even to the chief magistrate.
As no objection had been made while the chairman was reading these clauses, Mr. W. Smith insisted that it would be disorderly to move, at this stage of the business, to strike them out. He did not think the house could go backwards.
The chairman said that the motion was in order as the paragraphs had not been amended. If they had been so, there could have been no retrospective motion of this kind.
Mr. Harper thought it a good rule in public business, as in private life, not to defer till to-morrow what can be done to day. The committee of the whole, he conceived, were as well qualified to make any amendment now as they would be a month hence. When all the parts of a system were to be weighed and balanced, or matter of fact to be collected, a reference to a select committee was necessary; but on the present occasion he could see no such necessity; every information necessary was in the possession of the committee, and they were now as competent to decide on any amendment as they ever would be, and they were as competent to do it as any other committee of a smaller number.
The motion of Mr. Giles for striking out all which followed the word importance at the end of the fifth clause, was seconded.
Mr. W. Smith opposed striking out in mass. He hoped that gentlemen would go upon the speech, paragraph by paragraph, and take the question
upon each separately. He opposed striking out any of the warm expressions that had been inserted relative to the character of the President. He adverted to the title of the address when the President first accepted his office, and at his re-election, and asked why the language should not be as glowing now as it formerly was? If the sentiments were correct, he hoped that the committee of the whole would not waste their time on verbal criticism. This last remark referred to the amendment suggested by Mr. Harper.
Mr. Giles had no objection that the address should be complimentary, but he wished to retain it within the bounds of reason and moderation. He stated several things which he looked upon as objectionable in the President's speech. He did not think it either natural or becoming, to exult in the superior happiness of America over Europe. It was not necessary to tell other people of their misfortunes. It was insulting them. Again, as to the merit of the Executive, Mr. Giles had not that grateful conviction of its wisdom and firmness, which was stated in the address. "I believe, said Mr. Giles, though perhaps I may be singular in my opinion, that our administration has been neither wise nor firm . I believe, Sir, that the want of wisdom and firmness has brought this country into its present delicate crisis."
Mr. Giles said, that he had been opposed to almost every measure of the Executive for the last six years. It could not hence be imagined that he felt the conviction mentioned in the address. On the contrary, he daily felt less and less ground for that conviction. "I am very unwilling, said he, to say what I do not think." The address desired him to say something which he did not believe to be a fact, and there was not an influence under Heaven that should make him agree to such a declaration. Mr. Giles adverted to the numerous bankruptcies at present in Philadelphia, and declared his belief that they arose from the immense quantities of paper money with which the fiscal system had filled the country. This scene of insolvency held out one good reason for dissenting from the tone of compliment. Members who had been uniformly opposed to the general system of governmental measures, could not be expected to unsay all that they had been urging for so many years. If the address had confined itself to complimenting the President on the goodness of his intentions, the vote of the house might have been unanimous. Mr. Giles said that he was one who did not regret the retirement of the president from office. He was glad that he was retiring. He could with him to retire at this moment. He was not, for his own part, afraid to say so. He was not afraid to say that thousands of citizens of the United States were, he doubted not, equally well qualified to fill the office of president. He knew indeed, that there was a general apprehension in the United States of misfortunes that might ensue from the resigning of the president. Mr. Giles had no such apprehensions. On the contrary he thought that the president consulted his own happiness in retiring. He was sure that this gentleman would enjoy more happiness in his country seat, at Mt. Vernon, than he had done, or could expect to do, in the turbulent scenes in which he had been involved. Mr. Giles wished as much as any person for the private happiness of that gentleman, and he thought that happiness consulted by his present retiring from office. Mr. Giles next objected to the last paragraph but one of the address. It begins in these words: "The spectacle of a whole nation, the freest and most enlightened in the world " It was indelicate in the house to make such a declaration to the world. It was volunteering in a field of speculation which had no manner of concern or connection with the business before the house. He wished to leave out the whole paragraph. He next adverted to a parenthesis in the same paragraph, where the address tells the president, that the lustre of the approbation of a whole people was a lustre which accident or enthusiasm could not bestow, and which adulation would tarnish .
He said that this remark seemed to have forced itself on the committee, from an internal suspicion that they were committing this very act of adulation. The parenthesis fairly opposed the rest of the paragraph by condemning its style. As for the last paragraph, wherein it was hoped that

the successor of the president would imitate his example, Mr. Giles thought it time enough to speak of that successor when he should arrive. "Whoever he is to be, said Mr. Giles, I have no doubt that he will do his duty to the utmost of his abilities; and that he will pursue this course without the assistance of any example."
Mr. Harper rose next. He was for discussing the address by paragraphs. The sixth in order, being the first of those which Mr. Giles wanted to strike out, Mr. Harper was desirous of keeping in. It spoke of the prosperous state of this country, compared with that of several of the European nations, involved in the calamities of war. Mr. Harper asked what objection there could be to this paragraph? Did not agriculture, did not commerce flourish? Did not the laws reign? Will any gentleman say that much of this happiness is not owing to the wisdom and energy of the present Executive? It will not be said that the constitution has done nothing. Mr. Harper then drew a picture of the present prosperous state of the country. He observed that though gentlemen had opposed many measures of government, tho' they had been, & still were of opinion, that matters might have been better conducted, yet still, upon the whole, they would surely think the executive worthy of approbation. He hoped that the gentleman from Virginia would not deny his thinking so. In this qualified sense, Mr. Harper urged that Mr. Giles, and other gentlemen, would agree to the encomium on the executive in this way, without violating their character of consistency. Mr. Harper strongly impressed this idea, and urged it home in various points of view. He did not think that the bankruptcies referred to by Mr. Giles, were an object of such magnitude as to hinder the saying that the country was in a state of prosperity. Neither did he think that these commercial misfortunes were owing to an excessive emission of paper money by government.
Mr. Giles defended his objections to the paragraph. He thought that it insulted foreign nations. If a man was to say, I am very rich. I am happy to think so, and that you are the poor and I am the rich man, "I would not, said Mr. Giles, like it personally. For this reason, I would not do it nationally."
Mr. Sitgreaves approved of every word of the address. Comparisons were natural, innocent, and necessary, in order to illustrate political truth. A man in the bosom of his family, in domestic retirement, might surely say that such of his neighbours had done well or ill, that they were prosperous or otherwise. He might hold out this example for his family. There could be no harm in it, nor offence taken at it. As for doing it in a personal, or insulting way, Mr. Sitgreaves had the same feelings as the gentleman from Virginia. But this was not a national communication. He was as willing as the gentleman himself to see any thing of that sort in correspondence with foreign nations. But the present was merely a domestic explanation between the President and the house. As to the merits of the present administration, he thought that the wise, the firm, the patriotic conduct which it displayed, had conducted to public prosperity. This was his sentiment, and he believed that it was the sentiment of America. Every state in the Union, as fast as an opportunity came in its way, was returning thanks to the President for his administration, and expressing regret at his retreat from office. The state of Vermont had done so. The legislature of Virginia had unanimously done so. Why the house should be singular in refusing this homage of respect and gratitude, Mr. Sitgreaves was at a loss to see. An insinuation had been made that the present crisis was owing to the want of wisdom and firmness in administration. Yet that wisdom and firmness had, so late as the last session, been acknowledged and expressed by the house. They had sanctioned and adopted its leading measures. The recent bankruptcies in Philadelphia, had been ascribed to misconduct in the emission of too much paper money. Were it wrong, this did not arise from the executive exclusively. The fiscal system proceeded upon acts of the government collectively, not upon any one branch. The involvements were, as to the general state of the country, like specks on the Sun. The fires at New-York, and at Savanna, might as well be laid to the charge of government,
as the late commercial misfortunes in Philadelphia. "If that gentleman, said Mr. Sitgreaves, does not regret the retirement of the president from office, I DO, AMERICA FOES. Mr. Giles had said that he believed thousands of citizens in the United States were as well qualified as the gentleman who at present filled the presidential chair, for holding of that office. If that should be the case, yet, was it not a violation of the dignity of the house, to decline thanking the president for his long and valuable services, when they had received such an unparalleled degree of approbation from every part of the Union. Confidence, Mr. Sitgreaves thought the vital principle of a republican government. This confidence had been enjoyed by the present executive in a superlative degree. Were it possible to find a person as well qualified as the present chief magistrate, still no other possessor of the same office could expect to enjoy an equal degree of public confidence. As for the amendment of Mr. Harper, it altered the phraseology, which was already good enough. It made no other alteration. The sentiment remained entire. As the address now stood, national regret and national gratitude were well expressed. He hoped, therefore, that the address would stand as it is now. [To be continued.]

ACTION
THE CELEBRATED FOUR MILE HORSE, WHOSE abilities have been proved to the satisfaction of the public, as a horse of speed and bottom, Action is a beautiful sorrel, fifteen hands high, fine for the saddle, and I warrant him a fine coal getter; he will cover mares this spring at Obed Hancock's, in Woodford county, at Two Dollars and a half the leap, Four Dollars Cash, or Five Dollars in Property, the Season, and will Enforce mares with foal for Eight Dollars.
SIMEON BUFORD, AND OBED HANCOCK. PEDIGREE.
ACTEON's sire and dam, were full brother and sister, they were got by col. Dandridge's famous horse Fearnought, their dam was got by the old imported horse Fearnought, their granddam was got by old Jolly Roger, out of a fine mare, brought from England by the late col. John Chiswell.
PERFORMANCE
ACTEON ran a match on the fifteenth day of September last with the great running horse, Bumpard, from Virginia, and beat him with ease two hundred yards in a four mile heat. Bumpard must have been in great order, as the party who bet on him, gave a chance, and bets were two to one against Acteon.
BUMPARD'S PERFORMANCE
FROM A PRINTED ADVERTISEMENT. HE won a purse the fall he was three years old at New-Market, beating Mr. Adkin's Gray, Mr. Worham's Medley, Mr. Jones's Flimnap, Dr. Dickinson's Nutsracker, &c. The fall he was four years old, he ran for a purse at New-Market, against Col. Ash's Roe-buck, Bellair, &c. Roe-buck won the first heat, Bellair the second, and distanced all the horses that started except Bumpard; he started for the third heat, and run up within twelve feet of Bellair. Eight days from that time he ran at Cabbins Point, and distanced the field. The fall he was five years old he ran a match two miles, and won it with ease; and the fall he was seven years old ACTEON BEAT HIM as above.
TAKEN up by the subscriber, living on two mile creek, Clarke county, a dark roan mare and colt; the mare about thirteen hands high, branded on the near shoulder and buttock S, with a five shilling bell on, fifteen years old; appraised to three pounds. MARTIN JOHNSON.

LEXINGTON:
Saturday, February 25, 1797.
The latest papers received by the last mail from Philadelphia, are of the 16th of December, at which time Congress had done but little business; but by a gentleman who arrived in town on Wednesday last from Pittsburgh, we are informed, that news had just arrived at that place when he left it, that a general embargo would be laid, and that all the Banks had stopped discounting; also that a land tax would be adopted, this state's quota of which would be twenty-eight thousand dollars.
DIED, on Tuesday last in Danville, General Thomas Barbee.
Yesterday morning a man was found dead in a ditch in this town; it is the opinion of the jury that he was intoxicated when he fell in, and being stunned by the fall, was drowned.
From the Boston Chronicle of Thursday November 24.
The truth can no longer be concealed. A rupture has taken place between the two Republics. In avoiding one difficulty we have pushed blindfold into another. The recall of an ambassador generally precedes a war between nations."
INDIAN REMEDY FOR THE TOOTHACHE.
Make a decoction of the bark of the root of White Poplar, and apply the liquor hot to the tooth whose marrow is affected. Repeat the operation a number of times, and the tooth will be completely cured.
Complaints of the tooth ache have been very common the present season, and it is generally thought that extraction is the only remedy. This is certainly a desperate remedy, and it is surprising to see how often it is resorted to upon the slightest complaints. Thus many persons before the age of thirty lose the greater part of their teeth, but it is then too late to repent of their folly. If the above remedy, which upon experience has proved effectual, were to be generally used, most persons might, by proper care of their teeth, preserve them to old age.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
PAPER, A Poem,
Extracted from the works of the late DR. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.
SOME wit of old—such wits of old there were— Whose hints shew'd meaning, whose illusions
care, By one brave stroke to mark all human kind,
Call'd clear blank paper ev'ry infant mind;
When still, as opening sense her dictates wrote,
Fair virtue put a seal, or vice a blot.
The thought was happy, pertinent and true;
Methinks a genius might the plan pursue.
I, (can you pardon my presumption) I—
No wit, no genius, yet for once will try.
Various the papers various wants produce,
The wants of fashion, elegance and use.
Men are as various: and if right I scan,
Each sort of Paper represents some Man.
Pray note the Pop—Half powder and half lace,
Nice as a band-box were his dwelling place:
He's the gilt-paper, which apart you store,
And lock from vulgar hands in the store- room.
Mechanics, servants, farmers and so forth,
Are copy paper of inferior worth;
Leis priz'd, more useful, for your desk decreed,
Free to all pens, and prompt at every need.
The wretch whom avarice bids to pinch and
spare,
Starve cheat and pilfer, to enrich an heir,
Is coarse brown-paper, such as pedlars chuse,
To wrap up wares, which better men will use.
Take next the miser's contrast, who destroys
Health, fame and fortune, in a round of joys:
Will any paper match him? Yes, throughout,
He's a true sucking-paper, past all doubt.
The retail politician's anxious thought
Deems this side always right, and that stark
nought;
He foams with censure, with applause he raves—
A dupe to rumours and a tool of knaves;
He'll want no type his weakness to proclaim,
While such a thing as fool's-cap has a name.
The hasty gentleman, whose blood runs high,
Who picks a quarrel, if you step awry,
Who can't a jest, a hint, a look endure:
What's he? What? touch-paper to be sure.
What are our poets, take them as they fall,
Good, bad, rich, poor, much read, mot read at
all?
Then and their works, in the same class you'll
find;
They are the mere waste-paper of mankind.
Observe the maiden, innocently sweet,
She's fair white paper an unfullied sheet;
On which the happy man whom fate ordains,
May write his name and take her for his pains.
One instance more, and only one I'll bring;
'Tis the great man who scorns a little thing,
Whose thoughts, whose deeds, whose maxims are
his own,
Form'd on the feelings of his heart alone:
True genuine royal paper is his breath;
Of all the kinds most precious, purest, best.
ANECDOTE.
Of the late Sir JOHN FIELDING.
A fellow who made it a practice to pay sixpence for a basin of soup at various Coffee houses, and steal at the same time a silver table spoon, was at last detected. Sir John Fielding asked him what he was? To which the gentleman replied, 'I belong to the law, Sir.' The law? phaw! damme, that's impossible, said Sir John, 'if you did, you would have stolen the basin too.'
