RUNAWAY from the subscriber, the tenth of December last, a likely Negro Fellow, named Ishmael, about twenty-five years of age, five feet nine or ten inches high, stout, well made, his upper fore teeth a little wide, it is supposed that he is detained by the instigation of a certain Mrs. Mary Netherland, or some of her associates—the said Mary Netherland, was formerly the wife of John Netherland of Virginia. Also, a Negro Fellow, named Bob, (who was violently taken from me by a certain Martin Hawkins,) about forty years of age, with a blemish in one of his eyes, about five feet eight or nine inches high, limps in his walking, occasioned by a hurt in his hips. Also, (runaway,) the fourteenth inst. a Negro Fellow, named Phill, about forty years of age, five feet nine or ten inches high, well set, and has a large scar on one of his legs, occasioned by an old fire, which is not yet cured. The above said negroes, I expect, will pass as the property of the said Mrs. Mary Netherland, and notwithstanding the many assertions against John Netherland, it is hoped, no person of character, will be so uncharitable as to condemn him, until a full investigation of the circumstance between him and the said Mary can be heard; all persons will be particularly cautioned from purchasing or hiring said negroes from said Mary, or other Persons, and also, the said Mary is legally divested of all power of making use of any property belonging to the said John Netherland, and further, any property in my possession, belonging to the said John Netherland I am ready to deliver to said Mrs. Netherland, on her legal application, agreeable to their mutual separation.

From the Aurora, of March 28.
Pains are taken to mislead the public mind on this side the Atlantic, as to the causes of the failure of the negotiations between France and England. The New-York Minerva attempts to throw the odium upon the French with the view, no doubt, of rendering their cause unpopular here, and of making us incline more to our good friends, the British. Belgium appears to have been the great bone of contention; the English demanding its restoration to the emperor; the French insisting, that having been incorporated by the constitutional act, it could not be considered as a subject of negotiation on the ground of reciprocal compensation. There must certainly always be a power lodged somewhere in a government of alienating part of its territories when circumstances require it; but what we understand the French contend for, is, that the Belgians having expressed their will, and that will having been complied with, to be united to France, the country can no longer be considered in the light of a conquered country, and ought not to be treated as such in the negotiation.
The people of the United States should be well on their guard against the desperate attempts of the British faction, to tie our fate to the sinking fortunes of the mother country. A systematic line of conduct has been pursued to effect this. The cause of the French has been misrepresented, to mislead the American mind; they have been irritated by every means in the power of the faction, by neglect, insult, injury, and now that the effects of this base and impolitic conduct are recoiling on us, it is attempted to rouse the people to a rupture, that an opportunity may be had to throw the country into the arms of Britain.
The Gazette of the United States of last evening, makes a beginning in this last stage of the plot. Americans are called on, with many a note of exclamation, and no small portion of irony, to kick and spit at France.
They are endeavored to be roused by the most shameless misrepresentations. Mr. Pinckney is said to have been placed out of the protection of the law. The fact is (according to the best accounts) that he has not been received as minister, but permitted to remain in Paris upon the footing of any other American. It is asserted in the same paper, that the Directory have declared they would receive no minister Plenipotentiary till the grievances they complain of shall be redressed. The fact is, they have refused to receive a minister resident, until their complaints shall be adjusted by an envoy with sufficient powers.
Let the people of America be on their guard at this important crisis, lest by misrepresentations fomented by British influence they be prompted rashly to plunge into a war in which they would be found contending against the interests of freedom, and from which they could expect nothing but accumulated distress.
LONDON, February 3.
Reply to the Imperial Cabinet, to the proposal of the court of Berlin, for maintaining the neutrality of the North of Germany.
An official note, transmitted by M. the marquis Lucchesini, to the minister of his Imperial majesty, states it to be "the intention of the court of Berlin to obtain from his Imperial majesty his approbation of measures adopted for the security of that part of Germany by means of an armed neutrality, announcing to him, at the same time, that the security of these countries was the motive in which the measures referred to had originated."
The following is the substance of the reply made to his note by the court of Vienna:
"His Imperial majesty, as supreme head of the empire, cannot doubt that the states are obliged to concur in a war, rendered necessary from the pressure of circumstances, and formally declared with all the force for the common defence. This obligation is derived from the principle of individual and general security, which is the most sacred and most essential basis of every constitution. It is in a particular manner blended with the Germanic constitution, and it is recognized by several of its laws in the most positive terms."
"Such is the result dictated by the spirit of our constitution, which sub-
jects all the respective states, and all the means of defence, to the general controul of the sovereign power of the Germanic empire. Such is the result of the oath of fidelity, which the electors, princes and states of the empire, in order to strengthen the social bond, take in their capacity of vassals by which they swear actively to concur in every step which can tend to the honor, to the advantage and to the prosperity of his Imperial majesty and of the empire, and which by consequence, imposes upon them an obligation to second with all their might, the measures adopted by the chiefs and states of the empire, to avert the danger which threatens them with total destruction."
"His Imperial majesty sees with pain that the appearances of the war by no means answer the expectation which he had been led to entertain; but in considering the fundamental laws of every organized constitution, and the principles recognized in the most positive terms in the laws of the empire, full of anxiety for the good of the country, his majesty cannot refrain from manifesting a desire that the corps assembled at a crisis the most alarming and most dangerous, may be employed rather in aiding a just defence, by opposing the common enemy, than in stopping an invasion still at a distance, and of which we apprehend only the possibility."
"These measures of security, considered in themselves, do not appear to be contrary to the basis and spirit of the constitution, provided that the arrangements for the safety and particular defence of the North of Germany, are not founded upon illegal suppositions, and provided they are not employed to sanction the unconstitutional pretext of freeing them from the obligations binding upon them by the register of the resolutions of the empire, decreed for the purpose of the general security of Germany."
"If his Imperial majesty, on the present occasion, were to grant to this measure of security, as it is termed in the circular letter of the plenipotentiaries of the king, an unlimited approbation, all who should compare it with the tenor of the decree of the ratification of the 29th of July 1795, would accuse him of adopting contradictory measures and of making an arbitrary use of his power, as head of the empire, since the laws renewed in the present war, forbid the states to separate, on any occasion, from the general association, and any armament under the title of armed neutrality, during the continuance of the war of the empire, and interdict them, in the most positive manner, from arbitrarily renouncing obligations, formally imposed for the common defence."
"His Imperial majesty in virtue of the sacred duties imposed upon him by his high office, as supreme head of the empire, on the other hand, being called upon to defend the rights of the Germanic constitution against every step and every principle incompatible with their safety, to preserve to the empire and every particular state its immunities entire, and to guard against the prejudices which may rise from these measures will be disposed in the mean time, to grant them his approbation, if they are confined to the legal defence of the countries, and if they do not depart from the principles, the forms and the obligations prescribed by the laws and constitution."
PHILADELPHIA, March 31.
The day before yesterday the public were amused with a report, that France had declared war against the United States. We shall hear of many such reports: It is the interest of the faction to spread them, in order to accustom as much as possible the people to the sound of war, of war with France, that when the time arrives which they shall think most seasonable to propose a war against that country, the proposition may be received with less horror than it otherwise would produce. To Americans who know the value of the Blessings of liberty, who have not forgotten the tyranny of Britain, and who are sensible how much the cause of universal freedom hangs on the success of France, it may appear incredible, that there should exist "wild beasts," among us capable of harbouring a wish for a rupture with France. There are, we trust, very few Americans, indeed who have such a wish; but there are
among us men who belong not to the country, either by birth, attachment or principle, who would gladly involve this country in all the horrors of war to favor Great Britain, and vent their little spite against France and the cause of equal rights.—Let Americans beware of such.
Accounts from Genoa state that Citizen Herculias, envoy from the French Republic at Algiers, had obtained the restitution of six Genoese ships which had been captured by Algerine Corsairs within gun-shot of the island of Hieres, the envoy had consigned the vessels with dispatches to Citizen Raypoult, and it is added that the Dey had punished the captors with death for violating the French territory, as it seems the corsair came in so close to the shore as to be fired upon with muskets.
By advices from Constantinople it appears that the new French ambassador Aubert Dubayet, had been received with uncommon marks of distinction on his arrival at the several ports on his way to the capital; the Pacha of Traunick on his arrival on the Ottoman frontier sent to meet him a Milander and an escort of 300 men with a present of two Arabian horses for the ambassador, and one for each of the officers of his suite; he was treated in the same distinguished manner by the several Pachas on his route.
The junior member of the directory was according to an accommodatory plan settled by the councils of Ancients and Five Hundred, to retire, and a new member to be elected on the 1st Germinal, it is now understood, Carnot and Reubel are the junior members, and La Reveilliere Lepaux, has determined to resign, rather than deprive the Republic of their talents, in military and political affairs; he has signified, however, that his services may always be counted upon, in any diplomatic situation to which he may be called; it has been suggested that he will pay a visit to Berlin, and afterwards to Vienna.
Cambaceres is among those spoken of, to succeed to the vacant bench in the directory.
The Paris papers also mention, among the candidates to fill the office, Benezech, Tallyrand, Perigord, Montesquieu, Clarke, and Segur.

UNION.
NOW in greater perfection and health than he has ever been in, since he came to Kentucky, stands at Fair-View, in Woodford county, and covers mares at Eight Dollars the Season, Four Dollars the Leap, and will Entice Mares with Foal for Sixteen Dollars. From a report, that he has got more mares than he can cover, I find that gentlemen are afraid that the chance for getting colts will not be good. I do therefore hereby inform the public, that Union has turned off his mares this spring as fast as he has done since he has covered in this district, and if gentlemen will rightly consider, he must be the surest horse in the district, as he covers but four mares a day, and I know he is better kept than any other horse.

Lewis Rose. January 14, 1797.
MR. BRADFORD,
Finding in your paper of the fifth inst. an advertisement signed Charles Ewing, forbidding any person purchasing my settlement or preemption.
I am sorry to appear in a News-Paper altercation, but cannot with propriety omit endeavoring to undeceive the public in general, and such of your readers in particular, that it may concern, necessitates my soliciting your giving my remarks a place in your paper, it being the channel I received my information through, which advertisement I think merits my acknowledgment, pity and contempt.
My acquaintance arises from his want of restitution of my generous treatment to him on different occasions, and in particular, by my forgiving him three hundred dollars he forfeited as a penalty in his not fulfilling his contract with me, at the time limited (being the 1st of July 1792) in tobacco.—Yet after I consented to receive what he lent forward, if it was good, although most of the quantity he promised, and went from Natchez to New Orleans, for that, and no other purpose, being near three hundred miles, which on the inspection of a man, chosen by Mr. Brown, his attorney, it was condemned, a duplicate of a certificate of which, I am informed he received from Mr. Brown, and can prove he acknowledged to different people, I treated him on that occasion with generosity.
My pity is caused by his ignorance, in shewing his simplicity, after my lending him three letters a little before last Christmas, purporting my desire of seeing him, on or near the land, if he had any claim against it; one of which, he acknowledges receiving by Mr. Rowland, another I sent by Mr. Thomas, (a member of the assembly) that I recd near him, who informed me, in Frankfort last February, that Mr. Ewing received said letter, and disclaimed any right to said land. His simplicity is augmented, by his exerting himself to sell said land to different people, without any authority, his right being rounded on his payment, which he never made, but I presume, he thought he would fulfil the old saying of robbing Peter to pay Paul , who living in Appalachia, and consequently thought he could pay him at his leisure, with a long without a tune. And my contempt is caused by my considering him designing, which through courtesy for him, I must say I think he was prompted to by some of the people on said land, without either an equitable or legal right, one of whom, John Lais, went to his route, I suppose with the consent and desire of the others, to get him to procrastinate my selling the land, or getting possession of it, and thereby cause me to sell it under value.
Mr. Ewing lets forth that he has my bond for said land, which was a conditional agreement, that he in no part fulfilled, and the time limited therein is expired since July 1st, 1792; to demonstrate which, I insert his obligation to me, on said contract, signed at the same time and place, and by the same witnesses that are to the agreement, which I am ready to shew to any gentleman, and is as follows, viz:
"In case I do not fulfil any contract with Mr. Daniel Callaghan in the purchase of his land, and make payment to him, or order, against the last day of June next, come a year, then said contract is void, and of no effect, and I forfeit all claim against said Callaghan, in consequence of what I may have delivered him being three hundred dollars, which he is to deduct out of the amount of my obligations for the land, when I pay him the surplus, according to contract."
CHARLES EWING
Witnesses, Seth Hanchett, Thomas Laughlin, Benjamin Willicocks. Natchez, October 6, 1790.
The surplus specified therein, meant the difference between the three hundred dollars and the amount of the price of the land, and the three hundred dollars penalty inserted in it, we supposed then would soon be paid in tobacco, with one hundred dollars more, that I advanced him in cash and property he needed, when in Appalachia, and the surplus of the value of seven thousand pounds of tobacco, at six dollars per hundred, being twenty dollars I promised to allow him for, when he fulfilled his agreement, according to contract, for which seven thousand pounds of tobacco, he gave me another obligation that I now possess, it not being paid, by the tobacco then in his possession, being likewise condemned, and no part of it settled, but the one hundred dollars he owed me prior to the land contract, and in consequence of said obligation I assured the tobacco to Mr. Lewis Boidery, merchant in New Orleans, at eight dollars per hundred, for five hundred and sixty dollars, in part pay for some slaves; which sum through Mr. Ewing's disappointment, I was obliged to pay in cash, at a time when Kentucky tobacco sold in New Orleans at three and a half dollars per hundred, being after the time of my engagement with Mr. Boidery was expired, and he refused taking tobacco, on any account, it not being delivered in the time limited, and not admitted into the king's store, by which I lost the benefit of my principle object, in contracting with Mr. Ewing for tobacco, knowing said Boidery accepted tobacco in part pay for slaves: holding myself responsible for what's here inserted, and desirous to avoid News-Paper disputes, call on Mr. Ewing, or any other person having any claim to oppose my right of land, known by the name of Callaghan's survey, on the North side of the South fork of Licking, near Riddle's old station, to attend the next Federal court in Frankfort, where I intend applying for justice, and making known the claim of
The publick's humble servant, DANIEL CALLAGHAN. Cynthiana, Harrison county, State of Kentucky, April 23, 1797.
"Such of my lands in this state that I do not dispose of, will be sold by my attorneys in fact, Mr. Andrew Holmes, merchant of Lexington, and Robert Clarke jun. Esq. of Clarke county."

LEXINGTON:
Wednesday, April 26, 1797.
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.
The blessed effects which were promised to us from the British Treaty are realizing fast. In one of the letters which Washington wrote to Randolph from Mount Vernon, he compares the United States to a vessel between "Scylla and Charybdis," and thro' his unskillful pilotage he has verified the ancient adage "incitat in Scyllam qui vult evitare Charybdim." All his efforts were directed to obtain a good understanding with Great Britain, and to this end, the honor, the interest, the faith of the United States were sacrificed. His vanity perhaps, taught him to believe, that his measures must have been approved by France as much as they were applauded by a faction in this country; but on this as on many other occasions, he overrated his own consequence, and while he was securing himself against Scylla he was drawn into Charybdis. It was on this memorable visit to Mount Vernon, that he stiled the friends of France "the partizans of war and confusion;" but what will posterity & indeed the present generation stile him, who from the high road of prosperity plunged his country into an abyss of wretchedness; who from a state of character and peace has brought us to the threshold of war? It is now pretty obvious that those citizens who had the honor of being stigmatized as the partizans of war and confusion, are the only real and substantial friends of peace: and that had their advice been pursued, we should not, at this moment have a war staring us in the face. Who are the partizans of war & confusion now? The friends of the British Treaty? for it is they and they alone who have brought us into our present difficulties.
This Treaty, like the touch of Midas, was to convert every thing into gold; but instead of proving the author a Solomon it proves him an Ass. We were told that the British Treaty, like the circle of a conjurer, was to protect us from every harm; but our misfortunes have multiplied from the moment of its acceptance. The British Treaty is the cause of the present ruinous state of our commerce; it is the cause of the present bankruptcies and misfortunes of our merchants; it is the cause of the fall in the prices of wheat and flour; and it is the cause of the serious misunderstanding between this country and the French Republic. Who are the partizans of war and confusion? Let the authors of the British Treaty lay their hands on their hearts and answer this question. Aurora.

PROPOSALS
For Publishing by subscription, A NEAT EDITION OF THE KENTUCKY LAWS.
I T is proposed, that this edition shall contain only the Laws that are of a general nature, and will consist of the laws lately revised, and to be revised; there will be no more given of local or private laws, than their titles and time of passage. From the best calculations, it will extend to about six hundred pages.
CONDITIONS.
 I. This work will be printed in two Numbers, large Octavo, with a neat letter, on good paper, and bound in boards. The first Number to contain all the laws of a General Nature already revised.  II. The price to Subscribers will be Three Dollars; one half to be paid at the time of subscribing, and the balance on the delivery of the Second Number.  III. The work will be put to press as soon as five hundred copies are subscribed for; and the first Number completed with all possible dispatch; the second will be delayed until the revival is finished.  IV. If the laws do not exceed five hundred Pages, there will be added an appendix, containing an Abstract of the Duties of a Justice of the Peace, taken from the most Approved Authors, with the different forms of process in that office; as well as the most useful forms of conveyancing, &c. There will also be added, a copious index, whereby any article may be easily found by inspection; and the Constitution of this State and the United States will be prefixed.  V. Those who subscribe for twelve copies shall have one extra. 
As the form in which the Acts of Assembly have been printed, renders them not only unhandy to carry about, but also more liable to injury, and therefore less durable; and as it is probable that the general laws will hereafter remain a considerable length of time with little or no alteration; it is the object of this work to remedy those evils, by furnishing them in a portable form, and of durable materials.

 Blank Bills of Exchange,  Declarations,  Notes of hand,  Warrants, &c.

AN INDIAN ANECDOTE.
One of the Aborigines of this country having occasion, 2 or 3 years ago, to travel through Connecticut on the Sabbath-day, was apprehended and carried before a Justice of Peace. The Indian, ignorant of the law relating to the Sabbath-day, endeavoured to alleviate his crime the best way he could, by expressing his amazement at being accused and condemned for breaking something he did not know what — with all asserting positively that he had broke nothing belonging to any man, since he left his own wigwam — that he had broke into no man's house; into no man's enclosure — that he had attempted to break no man's reputation, nay, that he had not attempted to break even his own word; and begged to know who or what this Sabbath-day was, which he was accused of having broke. To all this the Justice replied that the Sabbath-day was a gift of Heaven, intended for the general good of mankind, and whoever broke the Sabbath-day, was guilty of breaking one of God's best gifts, and that God required every one in authority to take care of the Sabbath-day, and to see that it should not be broken.
Ay replies the Indian, Sabbath-day, gift of Heaven, Indian never saw Sabbath-day, how can Indian be accused of breaking what he never saw! — Indian not understand — pray, please you honour Massa, Justice, if Indian has really broken Sabbath-day how shall poor Indian mend him? By paying 2 dollars, replied the Justice, in a triumphant tone of voice. Two dollars! exclaimed the Indian, making a whoop, which a good deal cooled down the self importance of the Justice? who then signified, that as the trespass was from ignorance and not of malicious wickedness, and in defiance of the laws of the land, that 1 dollar would compensate. — The Indian, at this perceiving the pliancy of the Justice's conscience, began to think of trading with him on the best terms he could, offering him a quarter dollar, which after some argumentation on both sides was accepted.
No sooner had the Justice pocketed the price of the transgression, but the Indian solemnly required a certificate importing, that tho' poor Indian had ignorantly trodden on Sabbath-day and broken him, that he had not entirely destroyed him, and that he had given quarter dollar to pay for mending him. — At this demand, the whole importance of the Justice stood on tip-toe; who rebuking the impudence of the Savage calling him dog, Indian, and many other hard names, told him he had already taken too much trouble in saving the soul of such an infidel as he was from hell, whither he would certainly have gone for breaking the Sabbath-day — but that the whole transaction notwithstanding should be engrossed in his day-book for future evidence in his favour. No, no, replies the Indian hastily, no, that will not do — for when poor Indian die, strait away to heaven he goes; and knocks at the gate: — A voice calls who's there? Poor Indian, I answer, let him in. Again the voice cries, No, depart hence Indian, you broke Sabbath-day, no room here for such as break Sabbath-day. — I answer again, true, Indian broke the Sabbath-day, but gave Justice a quarter dollar to mend him with. The voice calls, "shew his certificate." Poor Indian answer, "got none," Justice would give him none! Then the voice thunders, "Before Indian can get admission here he must go and get Justice's certificate that he made compensation for breaking Sabbath-day."
So poor Indian set out with all possible haste to find Massa Justice; — he dead, not to be found on earth — Indian then goes to look for him in hell, and knocks at hell gate, and calls is
Justice — here? — A voice comes, "Yes, what does Indian want of Justice?" — Indian answer, to get a certificate that he paid for mending Sabbath-day, which Massa Justice said he broken. Hell gate opens — forth bursts a torrent of fire and smoke enough to destroy poor Indian, — but poor Indian determined to get his certificate, enters half choked with smoke; his eyes near blinded with hot ashes — and his feet all scorched with fire and brimstone, he travels far and near to find Justice. — Indian no can find him, — then poor Indian call a guide; — immediately a guide comes and asks what Indian want, — Indian say to be conducted to Justice. The guide takes up poor Indian as an eagle takes up a lamb by his talons, and flies through terrible flame and smoke, over seas and lakes of melted brimstone — at last guide say, look Indian and see Justice — yonder — Poor Indian panting and half dead, rubs his eyes, and sees Justice — at some distance sitting in judgment on all who had broken Sabbath-day and had not paid for mending him — As soon as poor Indian come within call of Justice — Indian cry for his certificate that he had mended Sabbath-day. — Judge laugh at poor Indian, and ask him how he liked the country, and say all his books burnt up no writing in hell, no pen, ink nor paper. — At hearing this poor Indian wring his hands and whoop holloo, and cry Certificate! Certificate! Certificate! Justice, give poor Indian his Certificate, but no Certificate for poor Indian! — Ah! what shall he do? — After being all scorched and scalded, and body half roasted, and one of poor Indian's eyes burnt out, he gets out of hell the best way he can, shakes himself as a dog when he comes out of the water, he climbs up to earth, there poor Indian is shunned by all his acquaintance, he smells so of brimstone — then poor Indian think this will not do, rattle-snake bite the Justice, pine-swamp seize him; — poor Indian try once more, flies up to heaven, knocks as formerly, and cries poor Indian come again, and wants to get in. A voice comes, "Let Indian produce his certificate that he mended Sabbath-day." — Indian answer, No certificate can be got, Justice — in hell and all his books burnt up!
So now poor Indian is kept out for want of certificate — but left all this should come to pass, Indian will not go away without his certificate. — At hearing this, the Justice is convinced of the propriety of granting the Indian his request — Accordingly the Indian receives his certificate and departs to his tribe, — to whom he relates the marvelous story of his breaking Sabbath-day unknown to him, and how he paid quarter dollar for mending him, and left him as whole as he were.
