Congress of the United States.
WEDNESDAY, JAN. 1, 1800.
Mr. Nicholas rose and observed, that he was so well informed of the necessity the house would be under in the course of the present session to find additional supplies to meet the expenses, that it must appear an incumbent duty on every gentleman who wished to provide for that object, to state it in the early part of the session. It would soon become the duty of the committee of ways and means, to make a report of the supplies wanting to provide for which he thought proper to know the sentiments of the house, on what changes may be necessary from the existing establishment.—For his part, he was well convinced that a considerable saving might be made by lopping off all unnecessary expenses, in the army establishment. It would be entirely unnecessary to go into the argument at this time, therefore he would merely lay on the table a resolution on which he should call up some time next week, after the private report of the secretary of the treasury was before the house.
The resolution was to this effect:
Resolved, That so much of the act passed the 16th of July 1798, entitled an act for augmenting the army of the United States, and for other purposes, as authorizes the president of the United States to raise twelve additional regiments of infantry, and six troops of light dragoons, and appoint two major generals, &c. &c. and so much of an act passed March 3, 1799, as relates to the appointment of a commander in chief, quarter-master-general, &c. ought to be repealed.
Mr. Otis said he rose upon this resolution, in compliance with a duty he owned the committee of defence, of which himself and the gentleman who laid the resolution on the table were members, to state that application was made to the secretary of the War department for information on the state of the military establishment, until that report was obtained he thought, this resolution improper; for in conformity to that report the committee would, no doubt, propose some resolutions, to the house. He wished the resolution had not been read, because it might cause some alarm and probably effect our interest at home as well as abroad.
Notwithstanding it might be a general wish that some retrenchments of expenses would be necessary, and perhaps some reduction of the military force in order to retrench expenses as much as possible, yet, he thought it very improper and impolitic to discharge so large a proportion of the army at this identical moment, when negotiation was just commenced with France, and even to agitate the question: on which accounts he hoped the resolution would not be laid on the table.
Mr. Nicholas said he had no objection to let the motion lie on the table until every necessary information was received, but he wished to express his intentions on that subject, and to call it up at a suitable season.
The resolution was laid on the table.
Mr. Macon presented a petition from a number of the inhabitants of Mississippi territory, praying a regulation of trade with the Indians, from whom they experienced inconveniencies; also, the opening of the navigation of the Mobile river and the establishment of a title to the lands ceded them from Spain; which he moved to be referred to a committee.
This motion underwent a long discussion and was opposed by Messrs. Jones, Nicholas, Talliaferro and Gallatin, on account of the undecided negotiation between the General government and the State of Georgia, in the event of which the title to those lands would be ascertained. They wished the petition to lay on the table until the conclusion of the objects of that mission.
The motion was strongly advocated by

Messrs. Macon, Claiborne, Rutledge, Se- wal and C. Goodrich, on the ground that the committee would only report consist- ently with the powers of the United States to grant, but if they did report otherwise, the house could let that report lie on the table for the present. Besides, there were other, & every important grievances re- presented in the petition which it was as much the duty of the House to attend to as though the people were more nume- rous.
The petition was finally referred to the same committee as were appointed to con- sider a similar petition on the 24th Decem- ber.

LONDON, Oct. 28.
At a late hour last night, we received by express a series of Paris Journals to the 17th inst. by which we are enabled to present our readers not only with the afflicting details of the late disasters in Switzerland, but also with a telegraphic communication of the defeat of the Arch- duke Charles, who is stated to have been driven across the Rhine (probably in the neighbourhood of Schaffhausen, to which quarter his highness had repaired with his army) with the loss of 2000 men kil- led or wounded, 1000 prisoners, six stand- ards, and several pieces of cannon. Among the slain is a general of the corps of Conde, which of course formed a part of the discomfited army. This lamenta- ble event, which forms no inconsiderable addition to the frightful catalogue of French victories, is announced by Masse- na, without mentioning the particular ar- my over which he has obtained the advan- tage described; but the bulletin publish- ed at Strasburg, states that it was the ar- my of Prince Charles; and indeed every consideration leads us to conclude, that it could have been no other than his Royal Highness, that was the object of the ene- my's attack.—The details of this unfortunate affair cannot be expected until the next arrival from France. The main fact, however, we fear is indisputable; and hap- py shall we be if the grievous combination of disasters which has lately befallen the Imperial arms on the side of Switzerland does not prove decisive of the campaign in that quarter.

PARIS, October 17.
Extract of a letter from the Hague, da- ted October 13.
Four thousand Russians, and 2500 En- glish have been killed, and 2400 Russians taken prisoners. The municipality of Am- sterdam have published this day, that the remainder of the Russian army, to the num- ber of 6000, have deserted to the French, after having killed several English officers. A whole regiment of Cossacks, who would not join them, were cut in pieces. We have taken 56 pieces of cannon, and a great quantity of baggage.
The French consul at Genoa, has given in his resignation.
Twenty-six hundred conscripts, compos- ing the contingent of the Lower Seine, are now assembled at Dieppe. They are completely organized, and only wait the signal to fly to the defence of their coun- try.
We learn from Cadiz, that the plague has entirely disappeared at Fez. Mequines and Rebat, but that it still rages at Mo- rocco and Mogadore. Three brothers of the emperor have fallen victims to it.
The 6th of this month a new bishop was installed in the ci-devant church at Notre Dame. The assembly was nume- rous, especially in females. The Bishop Royer, delivered a discourse, wherein he returned thanks to heaven for our suc- cesses.

The standards of victory are continually flying on our Pyramid—they announce the glory of our brave defenders in the ar- mies of the republic. Lecombe and Ba- raguay are still here; the generals are mak- ing preparation for a decisive movement: a number of troops marched by the way of Lindau and Gemersheim; our two aux- iliary battalions set off yesterday and to- day for their destination; they are arm- ed. That of Vorges remains to be com- pletely armed and clothed.
Letters addressed to merchants here, inform that Suwarrows, lately named Hel- veteski by the emperor Paul, is vigorously pursued in the Grison country, after sus- taining great loss.

The agency of the executive considering that by the first article of the 14th Thermidor, 7th year, to facilitate the com- merce of St. Domingo, different objects of importation were summarily mentioned as free, and that by the 12th article all o- ther merchandise were obliged to pay twelve and a half per centum.
The American consul-general having demanded of the agency, a diminution of the duties as being too burthensome, and the agency having examined the affair, it has decreed as follows:
Art. 1. The duties on importations by neutrals, is reduced to 10 per cent. paya- ble in money on the departure of the vessel.
2. In other respects, that nothing be al- tered from the former decree.

NEW-YORK, December 31.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Montreal, to his friend in this city, dated Montreal, Dec. 14. 1799.
Sir,
“Soon after you left this, the 41st. re- giment came here, and brought with them a fever which has alarmed us a good deal: not less than 230 of them being sick, and numbers dying daily. We have had pre- ty severe weather; and yet it does not seem to check its progress. Some of the inhabitants of the town have fallen a sa- crifice to the disease, particularly Dr. Graham of Quebec and Dr. Gould of this place. I am afraid we shall not be much better than New-York next summer.”
Lexington, January 23.
The citizens of Lexington and its vi- cinity, deeply impressed with the loss A- merica has sustained in the death of her friend and benefactor, General GEORGE WASHINGTON; and willing to testify to the world the high esteem in which they held the virtues of that great man, ap- pointed to meet at the Masons' hall, on Saturday the 25th inst. and walk in pro- cession to the Presbyterian meeting-house, of which previous notice was given in the public news-papers.
Agreeably to the above notice, a nu- merous assemblage of citizens, of every rank and description, met at the appoint- ed hour: the procession commenced at half past 12 o'clock, and proceeded to the Presbyterian meeting-house in the follow- ing solemn order:
Military, Arms reversed. Music, Playing a solemn dirge. Chairman and Trustees of the University. President and Professors of the University. Students. Masonic Lodges, Dressed with the insignia of their order. Clerk of the town. Trustees of the town. Clergy. Justices of the peace. Citizens.
An oration on this solemn occasion, was delivered by James Brown, esq. pro- fessor of law in the Transylvania Univer- sity: highly gratifying to the numerous and approving audience.
At a meeting of the citizens of the town of Frankfort, on the 18th Jan. 1800.
Governor James Garrard was unani- mously chosen chairman, and Doc. Isaac E. Gano clerk.
The following resolution was unani- mously agreed to:
In testimony of our sincere respect and veneration for the memory of our illustri- ous departed Fellow-Citizen, GEORGE WASHINGTON—
Resolved, That we will wear mourning scarves for one month.
After the adoption of the resolution William Murry esq. delivered the fol- lowing
ELEGY,
Sacred to the memory
OF THE
Illustrious WASHINGTON.
The bright sun of noon had declined to the West, The cloud of the storm had extinguish'd his ray, The Hero had done and now sinks to rest, The black night of death succeeds his bright day.
No longer his beams enlighten the land, Where Freedom! thy rights we e'er shall maintain; No longer the Hero conducts the firm band!— Victor—no more—will he conquer again!
Thy cliffs cedar crown'd, Oh! "Cuttawa! heard Woe worn Lysander his grief thus express— He wailed the dread loss, nor fought to be cheer'd, Nor fought he for hope to relieve his distress.
When Columbia's Genius, forth from the cloud, In glorious light, resplendent appeared; The awe-struck Lysander with reverence bow'd, And the voice of the Genius he heard,
In flow and solemn accents speak— As when permitted spirits come To warn the thoughtless here below, Of what shall be their final doom—
“Full long indulg'd, this happy land possessed “This first, this greatest, fav'rite Son of mine; “Twas his to free his country, when oppress'd “And far beyond the haughty Laurel shine.
“His brow alone the Laurel did not bind— “Cassia, the fragrant, emblem meet of love, “And peaceful Olive, were therewith entwined: “All mortal honors!—greater are above!
“When nought now remain'd which man could bestow “To honor the just, the brave, and the wise; “Thy minister, Heav'n, defended below, “And added thy gift—a Crown in the skies!

On Wednesday last a considerable number of republican citizens assembled at Thos. Stephenson's Spring, on North Elkhorn, in Fayette county, in order to celebrate the recent successes of our allies the French, where a handsome barbecue was prepared and after spending the day with much cor- diality the following toasts were drunk.
1st. Success to the armies of France, and her sister republics; may they never sheath their swords, until they have hum- bled in the dust the leagued tyrants of the North and West.
2d. Aristocracy, monarchy and despot- ism; may they be banished from the face of the earth, and mankind resume their na- tural rights, under the only rightful gov- ernments, republics.
3d. Suwarrows, and the duke of York; may these worthy representatives of their merciless masters, deck the triumph of the sons of Freedom, and be doomed to those chains which they were forging for o- thers.
4th. Thomas Jefferson; the pride of republicans, and terror of aristocrats, may he be soon raised to the seat, to which his unfortunate country has been too long in elevating him.
5th. The old Dominion; may she not lay down her becom, until she has cleaned her councils of all aristocratic filth.
6th. James Monroe, governor of the old Dominion; whose republican princi- ples are proof against the seduction of power, and his character against the ca- lumny of faction.
7th. Thomas M'Kean, governor of Pennsylvania; that old fashioned republi- can of 1776, who acknowledges no sove- reign but the people, and will not bend his knee to the Golden Calf.
8th. Governors, Jackson of Georgia; and Williams of North Carolina.
9. The memory of gen. Washington, may his illustrious actions and services be faithfully recorded down to the year 1787, but no farther.
10th. Judges Bee and Addison; may they have a speedy passage to the isle of Oleron.
11th. Energetic governments, but on republican principles.
12th. No navy, no army, and a repeal of (their inevitable consequences) direct tax laws.
13th. May the Atlantic states be just, the Western states free, and both be hap- py.
14th. The president of the U. States; may he soon retire to Quency, by general consent, accompanied by his “defence of the American constitutions.”
15th. The legislatures of Kentucky; may they be always among the first in re- pelling the transgressions of the servants of the union, and the last in promoting a- ny measures derogatory to the honor and happiness of America.
16th. The sovereign state of Kentucky; may she reflect upon the original states,
the patriotism and wisdom she has bor- rowed from them.
The plague, which made its appear- ance last summer in the Barbary states, has been uncommonly mortal. In Mo- rocco, the number of deaths was about 3000 a day—So great was the mortality they could not bury the dead. In Moga- dore, although the disease was in its in- fancy, the daily loss was from 70 to 80. Fez is depopulated—By the 20th June, the Moors reckoned the loss in that city, and its dependent villages, at upwards of 140,000 souls, among whom they include more than 30,000 of the principal talis and merchants of the country.
The Lutine frigate, (a money ship) bound from England to Hamburgh, hav- ing on board 150,000 pounds for Ham- burgh, and 140,000 guineas for the Tex- el, was wrecked on her passage, & all lost.
The English have captured a Spanish money ship bound to the Havanna, hav- ing on board one million of dollars.
OBITUARY.
Died on Sunday the 15th day of Decem- ber last at the house of Mrs. Gift, in Clarke county, DAVID BELL Esq. he was pos- sessed of all the most amiable virtues of the heart, tenderness, delicacy, humanity, benevolence and the most unbounded phi- lanthropy; his noble soul never devised ought of ill to a fellow creature, friend- ship, sociality and the most benign aspect marked conspicuously all his actions, and he was so little a man of the world, and so devoid of even a particle of what is commonly denominated selfishness, that it proved to the great detriment of his own affairs, and therefore it operated with an ill judging world as a kind of a shade over his virtues; but a few persons who were intimately acquainted with him must acknowledge, that his heart glowed with all that was innocent and lovely, and his manner of dying evinced his patience and resignation to the dispensations of GOD.

I HAVE FOR SALE, At very low rates, all the HOUSES & LOTS
FORMERLY the property of Maj. John Hynes, in Paris, a part of those buildings, are elegant, and well situated for a STORE and TAVERN, adjoining the public ground, and on Main street—the house for a TAVERN has seven fine rooms, one of which is a large ball room, thirty-six by twenty feet, with two fire places; four large fire places in the other rooms; a kitchen with two rooms, and a fire place in each; stables, &c. The other buildings are of brick, and adjoin the public ground, facing the court-house, two story high; three tenements twenty feet square; a small kitchen annexed to each of them; a lot well situated, sixty-six feet facing the court-house, and adjoining Maj. Duncan; and eight acres out lots. The property may be divided so as to suit the purchasers. I further inform those inclined to purchase, that the store house and counting room standing at the corner, on Main street, are two large well finished rooms, with each a fire place.
I have also for sale,
Six thousand acres of Land,
Beginning within less than two miles of Mount Sterling, (where the court house of Montgomery stands) and running through as rich and fertile body of lands
as any in that county: there is several disputes in this land, but it will be found to be very special in the entries, calling for natural and artificial boundaries. John Breckenridge esq. has the old patents, entries, &c. in his hands, to investigate the titles, and I think it will be found that there are no entries so special on any part of the land. I will not be liable for any loss of land, only against those claiming by, from, or under me, but I will sell to low as to make it an object worth the attention of any person inclined to purchase. It is unnecessary to say any thing more about the land or other property, as I expect those inclined to purchase will see it for themselves. The land can be shown by Col. James M c William, of Montgomery county, and my son, Amos Edwards will show the property in Paris.
I have also for sale, 600 acres of land, of the first quality, in Bullitt county, well watered, the title indisputable. Six miles from Bullitt's and Main's Licks, 500, a part of the same tract, lately sold to Mr. Thornsborough, who has settled on the same, and can show the land—he gave me 1500 dollars cash, and thinks it a good bargain.
I have also for sale, 3000 acres on Salt river and Chaplains fork, adjoining the tract of lower M c Atee's station—the owner of which can show the land, with some other small tracts in Lincoln and Mercer counties, all of which is of inferior quality. I will sell this low.
I have also for sale a valuable plantation, one and a half miles from Frankfort, well improved, constant springs on it, a good apple and peach orchard, a house fit for the reception of a family—the lands are of the first quality in the state, and can be seen by application to Mr. Brown, who lives on the place; the title is indisputable. This place is most valuable for its nearness to a good market, and the Kentucky river.
I also will sell my place of residence, four miles from Paris—there is on it elegant buildings, four hundred apple trees, all beginning to bear fruit; six hundred peach trees; two hundred and ten acres of cleared land, 32 of which is in bottom meadow; the farm is well divided into four fields of 40 acres each; there is a barn on it that will hold 1000 bushels of wheat in the straw, a large stable, new corn house, and all other useful houses in good order: the situation fine and healthy, and springs of water for continuity and coolness, equal to any in the state—the dwelling-house has nine rooms well finished, some of which are elegant. There is upwards of four hundred acres in the tract; the title indisputable, all of the first quality. Ten negroes will be sold with the place, and most of the stock on it; those negroes having connections in the neighborhood, I do not wish to remove them—I have two other small places in the vicinity of that place, under rent, I will sell also; they are first rate land, containing about 150 acres each; the titles good.
I have also for sale, 6000 acres of land in Fleming county, mostly of the first quality, sixteen miles from Washington, in Mason, and about twelve miles from the Ohio river. There is no entries more special than those, and the patent very old, just as there are several interferences I will only give such title as is vested in me, without any recourse to me or mine, in case the land should be lost; on which condition the land shall be sold to low as to make it an object worthy the attention of the purchaser; otherwise will sell for two thirds its value, and refund the money in case the land is lost.
I have some military lands northwest of the Ohio, on Red Oak, fourteen miles from Washington. I will sell some below Green river. Also a small tract of valuable land near Washington, in Mason county, with an overthot mill, that may go with, or separate from the land.
I will also sell near about three thousand pounds worth of MERCHANDIZE, well assorted, with groceries and iron, exactly at first cost—and good debts in notes and settled accounts, to the amount of at least 7000 dollars, at twelve and a half per cent. discount. I have a temporary claim in a grit and saw mill in Bourbon, I will also sell.
Wheat, flour, and tobacco, will be taken in payment for one third of all the aforesaid property, (except the Westwood estate near Paris, in Bourbon county)—for the other two thirds, money, negroes, young, healthy, and unincumbered with children; and in part military lands on Strait, Red Oak, or Eagle creek, northwest of the Ohio river. Wheat, I will receive at my son Haden Edwards's mills near Frankfort, and at my mills near Limeitown in Mason county. I will also take some proportions of property for the property previously advertised in Paris, and near small mountain; the sales of which is committed to William Clark esq. of Bourbon, and my son Amos Edwards.
Mr. Bradford,
My losses the two past seasons in the trade down the river, amounts to at least 8000 dollars, and were my debtors generous enough to make exertions to pay me, I should feel no embarrassment in the payment of those who have credited me; but as nothing will do but computation, by the tedious mode of waiting on process, I am determined to make every sacrifice to aid me in payment of the final sums I owe, and to secure funds for the purpose of exporting produce on a larger scale than I hitherto have done, it being the only natural, permanent way of commerce this country can go into, as most others are calculated to impoverish and drain us of money.
Any person or persons inclined to purchase any part or the whole of the foregoing property, may be assured that the terms shall be very moderate, which shall be made known upon application to the subscriber at his place of residence in Bourbon, or in Washington, where he is usually engaged him alternately: if he is absent when application is made at either place, a few lines being left with Amos Edwards in Paris, or David S. Broderick, in Washington, an answer shall be immediately given by the subscriber.
John Edwards sen.

TRANSYLVANIA UNIVERSITY.
THE trustees of the Transylvania University anxious to diffuse the benefits of the institution as extensively as possible, have resolved to inform the inhabitants of Kentucky, and the Western country in general, of the arrangements which they have recently made for the promotion of academic and professional studies. It has long been a subject of sincere regret to the enlightened part of the community, that there was no college west of the Appalachian mountains sufficiently organized to preclude the necessity of our youth resorting to the Atlantic states, in order to complete their education, and qualify themselves for professional employments. The trustees flatter themselves that this cause of complaint will no longer exist. The auspicious union of the Kentucky Academy, with the Transylvania Seminary, as it has concentrated the objects, so it has combined the powers and efforts of the two institutions, and affords a pleasing presage of harmony and public utility.
The limits of this publication will not allow the trustees to state, in a particular manner, the advantages, which they anticipate from the regulations lately adopted. They must therefore wait until experience shall unfold them. At present they can only observe in general that no measures which in their opinion, could tend to preserve the morals, enlarge
the understandings, or polish the manners of the youth committed to their charge, have been disregarded. To effectuate these salutary purposes the most approved code of academical laws has been prepared for the University, and will be enforced with vigilance and impartiality by the different officers, who are themselves to be accountable to the trustees for the faithful performance of the duties of their stations. Whilst the trustees announce to the public the solicitude with which they are determined to watch over the morals of the youth, they pledge themselves in the most unequivocal manner, that no influence shall be used to inculcate those principles of religion which are characteristic of the different sects. It is their unalterable determination that the students shall be left at perfect liberty in the formation of their religious creeds. As the trustees, in common with those of every other institution of the kind in Europe and America, considered classical learning as forming an essential part of a liberal course, they have made ample provision for it by the appointment of the rev. James Welch, professor of the learned languages, for which station his experience in teaching, his industry and attention, they have no doubt, sufficiently qualify him. The rev. James Blythe, whose distinguished and persevering exertions for the promotion of literature in the Western country, cannot have escaped the public notice, is appointed professor of Mathematics, Geography, Natural-Philosophy, and Astronomy.
Belles Lettres, Logic, Metaphysics, and Moral Philosophy, are committed to the rev. James Moore, principal of the University. The aid which he will derive from his colleagues, will enable him to devote his attention to those studies, which are the last and most important in the course of Academical education.
In order to complete the plan contemplated by the founders of the University, the trustees have also made provision for the study of all the learned professions. Either or all of the above named gentlemen will feel it a duty until a professor be appointed, to superintend the studies of such youth as may devote themselves to divinity.
As it was obvious to the trustees, that our state jurisprudence could not be studied with equal advantage in any of the Atlantic states, because many of our civil institutions, are in a great measure peculiar to ourselves, they thought it their duty to connect with the University, a school of Law: and accordingly have appointed James Brown esq. professor of that branch. His liberal education, and long residence at the University of William and Mary, together with twelve years extensive practice in the superior courts of this country determined the trustees to make this choice; and the number of law students, who already crowd his class, give the most decided proof of the propriety of the appointment.
The reasons for introducing the study of Medicine and surgery were not less cogent. Dr. Frederick Ridgely, a physician of long experience, and unquestionable reputation, has been appointed professor of Materia Medica, Midwifery, and the practice of physics. This gentleman is so well known in the Western country, that any recommendation of him by the trustees would be superfluous.
The important studies of Chemistry, Anatomy, and surgery are confided to Dr. Samuel Brown. His great application, and uncommon opportunities of acquiring an accurate, and comprehensive knowledge of those subjects; his easy and perspicuous mode of conveying information have already gained him a considerable class; and from his perseverance and attention the trustees expect the happiest effects.
The library of the University consists of more than 1000 volumes of the best ancient and modern authors; in addition to which the trustees have procured a valuable Law Library for the students of that profession, and have appropriated 500 dollars for the purchase of Medical books, which will soon be bro't forward.
Law and Medical societies meet every week in town, in which the fundamental principles of those professions are discussed with a freedom, which cannot fail of affording to every student the most permanent advantages. At these societies the professor attends, and placing themselves on a level with the students, encourage them to that free exercise of reason, which is so well calculated to elicit the dormant powers of the human mind.
The University is now in possession of a considerable philosophical and Chemical apparatus, and 500 dollars are appropriated for the purchase of such additions to it, as are most immediately necessary; which sum shall be increased from time to time as the funds may permit.
Boarding can be had with Mr. Welch at the University for the moderate sum of 15l per annum paid half yearly in advance—the students furnishing their own bedding, washing, wood and candles.
The situation is elevated and healthful; and the public may be well assured that every exertion will be made to render the accommodations of the students as agreeable as possible.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That the said commissioners may direct the additions or deductions as aforesaid, to be made out and completed by the several principal assessors, or if they shall deem it more advisable, by their clerk, and such assistants as they shall find necessary to appoint for that purpose—Provided, That the compensation to be made to the said assistants shall not exceed the pay allowed to the assistant assessors by the act to which this is a supplement.

PUBLIC NOTICE.
To the Shareers of the Vine-Yard Society.
WE the subscribers, managers of the above society, think it a duty incumbent on us to lay before you a statement of what has been done with respect to the Vine-Yard. The improvement began last February, on 750 acres of land, lying in the big bend of the Kentucky river, near the mouth of Hickman creek. It is acknowledged by the best judges, to be a place well chosen, and happily situated for the culture of the vine. Five acres were well prepared, and planted with vines last spring. The time that the hands could be spared from attending on the vine-yard, has been very profitably employed in clearing, cultivating and preparing a farm, the produce of it in corn and vegetables, will be fully sufficient for the sustenance of the hands the present year. The success in planting, and the growth of the vines, have been beyond the expectations of those well acquainted with their culture in Europe. We can assure you, and the people of Kentucky in general, that in less than four years, wine may be drunk on the banks of the Kentucky, produced from European stock. We also take the liberty of requesting a punctual payment of the three fifths ordered by the standing committee. Some of the hands have not been paid for their last year's services—Several additional laborers have been hired for the present year—and in several instances we have been under the necessity of borrowing money, which obliges us to request the utmost promptitude of you in immediately sending forward the sums now due, to Guthbert Banks, who is appointed collector, for the purpose of receiving it. There are a few shares on hand to be disposed of.—Those who have subscription papers on hand are directed to send them forward to Mr. Banks, as soon as possible.

SACRED TO THE MUSES:
SOLITUDE:
WILL wretched mortals still complain, That human life is fill'd with pain? And not perceive that many ills, Are but the offspring of their wills.
Could we command the mind to rest, And rule the empire of the breast— The path of life would soon be clear, Of countless pains which we now fear.
But pride within like tinder lies, To catch each tempting spark that flies; And passion fans the rising fire, Until it flames in hot desire.
Hence disappointment's gloomy train, Remorse, disquietude, and pain; With ceaseless rage, and dire controul, Plant darts of anguish in the soul.
Then from the scenes of busy care, To peaceful solitude repair; Where fewer objects tempt the eyes, And milder expectations rise.
In reason exercise we find, The true enjoyment of the mind; For then our wishes cease to roam, And passion stays in peace at home.
As floats a bird in liquid sky, Without the least attempt to fly; So with contentment we may glide, Secure in life's unruffled tide.
ANECDOTE.
A countryman much marked with the small pox, applied to a justice of the peace for redress in an affair where one of his neighbours had ill treated him; but not explaining the business so clearly as the justice expected, "Fellow (said the justice in a rage) I don't know whether you were inoculated for the small pox or not, 'but I am sure you have been for stupidity.' "why, an't please you (replied the man) perhaps I might as you say, be inoculated for stupidity, but there was no occasion to perform that on your worship, for you seem so have it the natural way."

Given under my hand this 2d day of July, 1799. Patty Cock, Lexington.
