NOTICE.
ALL persons having demands against John May deceased, either for money due to them, or for contracts payable in lands, are requested to transmit to the subscriber a copy of their demands or contracts. All who are indebted to said John May, either for money due to him, or contracts for land purchased from him, or for locating lands in the state of Kentucky, are requested to make payment, and to perform their specific contracts immediately. 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. And whereas the said John May met with a premature death, by the hands of the Indians on his passage down the river Ohio, many papers and much information perished with him, 'tis probable the subscriber may need the information of others in some matters relative to the negotiation of the deceased, in the western country, and he will thankfully receive any communications which gentlemen acquainted with the concerns of the deceased, may think proper to make.
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.
DAVID ROSS, Administrator. Richmond, January 22, 1796.

THE HOLY CHAPEL of LORETTO.
This sacred repository of silver saints, and golden images, for which the Republic has taken out a belligerent habeas corpus, is the richest repository in Europe.
The story of it is a most curious piece of priestcraft, which has long imposed upon the votaries of the Romish church.
The chapel is stated by its sanctified biographers, to have been originally a small house in Nazareth, where the Virgin Mary lived, and where she was saluted by the Angel, and where she nourished our Saviour! That after the death of the Mother and Son, it was dedicated to the Virgin; but when the infidels made an incursion into Galilee, a band of Angels, to save it from pollution, took it up into their arms, and flying through the air conveyed it from Nazareth to Dalmatia, a blaze of celestial lights and a concert of divine music accompanying it all the way, to the astonishment of the millions who were witnesses of the transaction.
As the distance was great, and the chapel rather heavy, the Angels being tired, stopped and set it down in a little wood, that they might rest themselves; and here it is asserted with the same grave solemnity, that while it remained there the trees of the forest bowed their lofty heads to the ground, and continued in that respectful posture so long as this holy edifice remained among them.
But not meeting with due reverence in the castle of Dalmatia, the same indefatigable heavenly porters, took it once more on their shoulders, and wafting it over the sea, placed it on a field in Italy, belonging to a noble lady called Lauretta, from whence it takes its name. This field however being often visited by highwaymen and murderers, of which the Angels knew nothing when they placed it there, they again lifted it up and set it down on the top of a hill belonging to two brothers, who becoming equally enamoured of their new visitors, grew jealous, and fought, and were both killed. The Angels, on being made acquainted with this, once more lifted it into the air, and moved it to the eminence where it has now remained for four hundred years, having lost all relish for travelling.
As to the edifice itself, whether composed of Palestina brick or Parian marble, or whether the story of its travels be true or false, these are matters of no consideration to the French—what they want out of this holy mansion is its rich contents; and unless his holiness gives some equivalent, it is most probable Buonaparte will not pay the smallest respect to the following inscription, which denounces excommunication to any person who hostilely enters this consecrated spot, and is placed over the door— Ingredientes cum armis sunt excommunicati.
The architraves of the window, where the Angel Gabriel entered, for he was once there, are covered with silver, and there is a vast number of massy gold and silver lamps in the Guapei, sixty of which, are a present from the Venetian republic, not weighing less than 140 pounds each. There is also one of gold, which weighs about 46 pounds.
In the sanctuary is that famous golden image, which is waited upon by numerous gold and silver Angels, of an immense size, who, in a kneeling posture, are offering hearts of solid gold, enriched with diamonds, and an infant of pure gold, and nearly as large as Buonaparte himself. The wall of the sanctuary is plated with silver. The Virgin herself, which is the handy work of St. Luke, is very small, and has every appearance of a negro girl, which proves that external beauty was not desirable—altho Corregio, Raphael, &c. thought otherwise, when they portrayed the same figure. The crowns on the heads of Mary and her son are of immense value—they were a present from Anne of Austria.
But the chapel is by no means so rich as the treasury, which adjoins the vestry, and which contains all the riches that bigotry and superstition have bestowed for centuries past upon this place. Lamps, candlesticks, goblets, crowns, crucifixes, lamps, eagles, saints, apostles, angels, virgins, and infants, all of solid gold, here take up their abode, in considerable numbers, as so many bribes to Heaven, to pardon repentant sinners. Here al-
so is deposited the miraculous pearl, in which nature has given a faithful delineation of the Virgin, sitting on a chariot, with her infant in her arms.
HAGUE, October 1.
Couriers from General Bournonville succeeded each other, and demand money, forage, and provisions for the army of the Sambre and Meuse. Our government has already sent him 600,000 florins, and the most active measures are taking to send him cattle, flour, &c. Several waggons with necessaries are already on the road. It is said, general Bournonville, has desired the Directory to appoint general Pichegru to the command of the army in his stead.
October 4.
The day before yesterday the Portuguese Minister Chevalier d'Argino, set out for Paris to negotiate a peace for Portugal, attended by M. de Britto, secretary of Legation, who had brought him his final instructions.
A most alarming desertion prevails among those Dutch troops who are on their march to join the army of the Sambre and Meuse. The number of the deserters amounts already to eight hundred men.
Our trade is losing every day more and more, as the English block up our ports, and foreign merchants fear to remit goods to this country.
In the course of last week 700 workmen were discharged from the dock-yards at Amsterdam, and 400 from those at Rotterdam.
A great number of cotton manufacturers at Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Dordrecht, and other places, have petitioned the convention to revoke the decree which prohibits the importation of English goods. The petitioners state among other observations, that they for their own part, could remove their manufactures, to other countries, but that in this case a great many families, whom they had been able to support, would be thrown into the utmost misery.
VIENNA, Sept. 24.
The states of Hungary, in their assembly, have undertaken to furnish the Sovereign with as great a proportion of men, horses, money and provisions, as they are capable of procuring; in the course of a few weeks they will hold a formal diet.
The news of the arrival of a Russian army on our frontiers is confirmed, but no use will as yet be made of it: it may, for some time to come, be considered as an imperial corps of reserve.
Another loan on notes, bearing 5 per cent. interest, is ordered to be levied on the hereditary states, for the military services of the year 1797. The imperial Letters patent, issued for that purpose, contain the following introduction:
"Whereas, with all our cares and all our efforts, we still find ourselves under the necessity of opposing very numerous armies to the avowed designs of the enemy, whose maintenance and other accidental expenses, cannot be solely defrayed out of the ordinary revenue of the state, &c."
The court of London has sent three millions sterling, which have already been drawn from several banking-houses.
It is in agitation at present, to send general Mack to the army of Italy. Eighteen battalions of troops have already been voluntarily raised by the Hungarians, and sent to the armies. They have offered to raise eighteen battalions more for the same purpose.
Within these few days 9000 Croats and 3000 recruits have passed our neighborhoods, most in waggons; to join generals Nuenhoff and Latour. Since which, considerable reinforcements are marching to our army in Tyrol.
The Vienna corps of volunteers is also organizing with the greatest speed and the officers have been for the greater part already appointed. Our tailors have made the uniforms of this corps gratis. The arch duchess Christina and her consort, duke Albert, of Saxe Teschen, have given another voluntary contribution of 80,000 florins towards the expenses.
LONDON, October 6.
Yesterday the capt. of an American vessel was committed to Tothill fields, bridewell, on suspicion of being a spy from the French government. He was taken from on board his vessel in the
river by an order from the Secretary of State before whom he was examined yesterday morning.
October 11.
The Hawke loop of war has taken and sent into Leith roads, a Spanish ship from the Baltic, laden with naval stores supposed to be worth 15,000.
One of the Spanish vessels from the Havanna to Cadiz, taken into Cork by the Sea, Horse frigate, had on board 100 chests of treasure, exclusive of a cargo of 30,000. The whole of which, while at Cruxhaven, was removed from the Spaniard on board the frigate and has been deposited in the king's stores at Cork: the other vessel which was from Leon, with the like destination, is nearly of equal value: the Brazil ship had been 26 days in possession of the French, and consequently is a legal prize to the English captors. The gallantry of the Cork squadron, which was lately so nobly manifested, has now appropriated reward.
Sunday last arrived at Margate the Jemima of London, from Lisbon, which port she left on the 18th ult. Mr. Anderson, the master of the Jemima reports that the people at Lisbon were very apprehensive of an invasion from the Spaniards, and that the Spanish ships which had been carried in there by vice admiral Vandepur, had been all released. When the Jemima came away, there was no packet at Lisbon, the Hanover having sailed from thence on the 15th ult.
October 13.
A letter from Capt. W. Clift, of the Adriatic, arrived in the Downs from Quebec, dated off Deal, October 12, says "The principal part of the fleet is taken off the Island of Belleisle."
A letter from an officer on board the Unicorn frigate, dated Spithead, October 12, after mentioning the arrival of that ship, states the following particulars respecting her cruise:— "We fell in to the eastward of Scilly, with the Surinam fleet bound to Amsterdam; we captured four large ships, one brig, and a smuggling lugger, all of whom have arrived safe except the lugger; we could not man any more, being in expectation of falling in with a Dutch frigate of 44 guns. The governor of Cayenne and his lady, with all their property are on board one of these ships."
October 18.
We find in the Paris papers, that the representative Hardy lately asserted in the library of the legislative body, that at least 100 members of the councils were provided either with powers or letters of grace by Louis XVIII. and that if unexpectedly seals should be put on their papers, the original documents would be found. The 100 members he alluded to belong all to the new third.
On the other hand, such journals as are attached to the new third, assure us, that the deputies of the Mountain, with the Abbe Sieys (or Seide as he is now called) at the head of them, have plotted a plan tending to cause the son of the late Egalite to be appointed provincial dictator. However this may be, it is certain that the Jacobins by no means despair of regaining their former preponderance by means of new commotions, and that all good citizens fear they may succeed, thro' the weakness which government shews in all matters which concerns them.
Accounts from Brittainy, received by the way of Jersey, state, that gen. Hoche, having been ordered by the Directory to march to the frontiers, with the troops he commanded in that province, met with a formal opposition on their part, either because they insisted, by way of preliminary condition; that their pay should be discharged in specie, or that they were tired of a war, which is evidently contrary to the well being of the nation, and merely to the private advantage of those who hold the reins of government. Gen. Hoche, little accustomed to such a resistance, advanced at the head of the Gens d'Armerie, to force the corps which were under marching orders to put itself in motion; but the soldiers persisted in their revolt, and killed several of the gens d'Armerie.
Some of the last Paris papers mentioned a revolt of the garrison of Brest, which was quelled by a promise that the troops should henceforth receive their pay in specie.
Mr. Pinckney from America, was presented to the King, by the envoy from that country.
It is reported that the court of Portugal has found itself obliged to pro-
hibit our ships of war from carrying any more prizes belonging to the Spaniards into Lisbon.
The example of the corporation of London, on the late occasion of moving an address to his majesty, thanking him for his gracious speech to Parliament, will probably be followed by other cities and towns.
The Spanish consul took his departure from England on Tuesday last. The ambassador still remains for instructions from his court.
By the Curuna mail of Friday, it appears that the 17,000 men, stipulated for by the late treaty with France, were on their march for Italy, to reinforce the army of Buonaparte; and a fleet was about to sail towards Leghorn and Genoa, for the protection of the Spanish, against the British cruisers.
Several of the principal manufactories in Abbeville and Amiens, in France, have been recently purchased by English and American adventurers.
To morrow Sir R. Abercrombie will sail from Portsmouth, in the Arethusa frigate for Martinique.
Captain Rowley, who lately commanded the Hussars frigate of 28 guns, is appointed to L'Unite, of 32 guns; and capt. Inman is appointed to the Hussars.
FROM CONSTANTINOPLE, August 13. The capt. Pacha has lost a merchant vessel coming from Egypt, very richly laden, and which belonged to himself. It was attacked by some of the Maltese cruisers, and on the point of being taken, blew up, and every person on board perished.
Yesterday morning arrived a Courier from Sir William Hamilton, at Naples, and also the second of the three Mails that were due from Hamburg with letters from thence of the 7th instant.
It will be recollected, that the last letters from General Buonaparte were dated the 16th of September, and only gave an account of the operations of this army to the 15th ult. They merely respected the events which had taken place near Mantua, but did not allude to any thing that had passed in the Tyrolese, or the vicinity of Trent. The information contained in the Vienna Court Gazette, only regards General Wurmser's operations to the 13th; there is of course no mention made of the battle of St. George, which happened on the 14th near the gate of Mantua, and the result of which according to the French General's account, forced General Wurmser to take refuge in that fortress which he expected would capitulate in a few days. Buonaparte has not, however, succeeded in his expectations.
According to the advices from Naples, it appears that field marshal Wurmser made sorties from Mantua on the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd, ult. and attacked and defeated the French on each of those days near Duo Castali and Roverbella, between Mantua and Verona, to which latter place Buonaparte had fallen back on the 26th. Those events evidently show, that the Austrian army in and near Mantua is by no means in that distressed situation in which Buonaparte's official report asserted it to be; and that we may still hope to receive ere long some satisfactory news from that part of the theatre of war.
The progress of General Davidovich in the Tyrolese, and the march to Trent, noticed in the Vienna Court Gazette, confirms our former conjectures, that Buonaparte may be hemmed in between that general's army and that of Wurmser. This event appears by no means improbable, when we consider that the Austrian army in the Tyrolese is constantly reinforced by fresh troops from the Emperor's hereditary dominions who are sent forward in waggons in order to expedite their progress. We may hope that this army will soon be in a state to act offensively; and to re-take the whole country of Tyrol.
BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Monday October 7.
Mr. Hobart brought up the report of the committee of supplies.
The resolutions that 120,000 seamen be employed for the sea service for the year 1797, at four pounds per man per month, were read and agreed to.
The house agreed to go into a committee of the whole house on Wednesday next, to consider further of a supply to be granted to his majesty, and of ways and means for raising the supplies.

PHILADELPHIA, November 18.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Greenoch (Scotland) to his friend in this city, dated Sept. 13.
To give you some idea of the scarcity of money, I shall copy a paragraph from our London paper just received. "The gloom which has overcast the commercial world, for some days past increases considerably. On Monday the funds were below 54; but this is not the worst alarming. A more serious circumstance is now pending. A list of thirty-two commercial houses, two of them bankers, which must soon stop payment, was handed about privately. The prospect blackens every day, and it is too probable that before a fortnight passes, there will be a more extensive bankruptcy in the city than was ever known at any former period—wheat is now for 12s. the boll, (two Winchester bushels,) and it is expected to be 9s."
BALTIMORE, November 29.
Extract of a letter from an American citizen, dated Paris Sept. 27.
"I presume you will have already learned that the British minister has solicited one of the Greenville's to appear here as envoy to demand peace—this is an indisputable fact; but various are the speculations it has occasioned amongst the politicians, some say he will not be received, and it is asserted, that unless England renounces all her conquests, not only made from France, but also from Holland, no other terms will be listened to by the Directory; that this is their determination I have certain reasons to believe. In the mean time the grand intention of this government every day develops itself more and more, and without a doubt England will shortly see itself expelled from every port in Europe, from Archangel to Constantinople. This immense project will serve more to humble that proud nation than any other can possibly do. Already the Italian and Spanish ports are closed against her; Portugal must follow, indeed, it is positively asserted that that monarchy is once more to be re-united to Spain, in return not only for St. Domingo and Louisiana (both ceded to France) but as an equivalent for entering into the war. Holland has just closed her ports against British manufactures, so also has Hamburg, and it is said, that Denmark and Sweden, are shortly to enter the list. This is the grand master stroke of the French Directory, and worthy their genius. I am told, as matter of fact, that gen. Hoche is unremitting in his exertions to prepare every thing for an invasion, that he does not hesitate to avow the design, but the points from whence it is intended are profound secrets. He is in command in chief. In the mean time, whilst the republican arms have, in a few months conquered Italy, they have experienced a fatal reverse under Jourdan; it is a curious thing to observe the same fortune experienced by the opposite generals, Jourdan and Wurmsler, at the same period, both carrying every thing before them, snatched at the same moment from the arms of victory, and hurled in the extreme of misfortune. Jourdan, after a succession of victories, & having penetrated almost to Ratisbon is all at once stopped short, his army cut to pieces, obliged to retrograde through an enemy's country an immense distance, pursued with the most unremitting industry, the shattered remains of his forces not only destroyed by the pursuing enemy, but every where butchered by the peasantry; finally, after abandoning all his conquests placing himself under the cannon of Dusseldorf, at the very same time Wurmsler descends from the Tyrol, with the best appointed army yet sent into the field by the Emperor—he triumphs over every opposition, he divides his forces—with one part he relieves Mantua, with the other threatens to annihilate the army of Buonaparte; this illustrious general, this general unequalled in the records of history, attacked with consummate skill one of these grand divisions, each superior to his own, and gains a decided victory—without breathing, he turns upon the other, over which he is alike victorious—he pursues the stroke for a succession of weeks, never ceases day nor night in following up the blow, and finally all that remains of that immense army, under the command of Wurmsler, is a few broken down troops, cooped up in the very city which they had before relieved, and where the inevitable fate of be-
coming prisoners of war now awaits them.
Moreau on his side has done a vast deal—compelling the elector of Bavaria to conclude an ignominious peace—has taken a strong army off the Republic. It is supposed, that prince Charles will now return from the pursuit of Jourdan, to oppose the further progress of Moreau—in the mean time, immense reinforcements, marched from all quarters to unite with Jourdan—30,000 men under the command of Bounonville, are already at the point of a junction with him, and will no doubt enable that army again to act offensively, whilst Buonaparte, having nothing more to fear on the side of Italy, and being already at Trente, must if necessary, unite with Moreau, in spite of all opposition. On the whole, this has already proved the bloodiest campaign recorded in history—nevertheless, bloody as it has proved, and as it yet appears to become, the emperor seems to have no inclination to make peace! To conclude my political information at present, we are informed, that altho' Mr. Pitt has appointed an envoy to treat with the directory, he is in fact as little disposed to make peace as before—but as he knows the fatu quo will be insisted upon, not only respecting France, but her allies, whilst at the same time, the Republic will never yield up Belgium—he will have this pretext for throwing off personal responsibility, placing upon Parliament, preserving his power, and continuing the war—if any more events happen before I close this letter, I intend to add it for your information.
P. S. The Directory have recommended the Council of Five-Hundred to pass a law by which liquidated claims upon government shall be hereafter taken in payment for every species of national property—it is expected the law will pass.
We are this day informed that our government has broke the treaty with this country, having given orders that no more English prizes should be disposed of in our ports—as this intelligence comes officially to the directory, already irritated on account of the English treaty, and other matters, we Americans under great apprehensions of shortly experiencing further difficulties—nothing contributes so much to my remains of confidence as the well known popularity of Mr. Monroe with this administration.
TAKE NOTICE,

By information from sundry gentlemen lately down the Ohio, we learn, that in consequence of the depredations committed on the commerce of the United States by the European powers, Congress is about to lay an embargo—some say—on our own shipping only: others say only on the French shipping, and others, that the embargo will be general. We expect further and more certain information on this subject by the next mail.
We have received information that the Indians lately killed a white man in Powell's valley and wounded another. The circumstances as related to us, are as follows:—Two Indians came in the evening, to a house, the family in which, consisted of an old man, his wife, and son: the Indians proposed tarrying all night with them, to which the family consented; sometime in the night, whilst the family were asleep, one of the Indians stabbed the young man, who not being instantly disabled, a scuffle ensued, the old man on hearing the battle, started up, when the other Indian who was prepared for the event, stabbed him, the Indians then ran off; the young man died in a little time, but the wounds of the old man, were thought not to be mortal!
WONDERFUL!!
In 20th year of queen Elizabeth, Mark Scaliot, a blacksmith, made a lock consisting of 11 pieces of iron, steel and brass: all which, together with a pike key to it, weighed but 1 grain of gold. He had also one chain of gold consisting of 43 links, whereunto having fastened the lock and key before mentioned, about a flea's neck, which drew them all with ease; all these together, lock and key, chain and flea, being weighed, the weight of them was but one grain and a half!

EPITAPH.
HERE lies the wife of neighbour Thomas, Whom death in mercy carry'd from us For when alive, she was so old, So homely, fluttish—such a cold, That round about her, for a mile, All things were in a constant broil. We've known her storm at such a rate, That even her chimney back would sweat; Trammels thro' fear forgot to hold, And RED HOT coals of fire feel cold. Her husband never dropt a tear, 'Till he had plac'd her body here, And then he blubber'd like a LOUS, For fear she'd scratch her passage out.
ANECDOOTE.
The whimsical and immortal author of Tristram Shandy, was married to Mrs. Sterne on a Saturday morning. His parishioners had timely information of this circumstance, and knowing he would preach the next morning at his parish church, and desirous at the same time of seeing the bride, they assembled in such crowds, that the church was full before the bell had done tolling. The bride, as was expected, made her appearance, and the country folks indulged themselves with the usual observations, until Sterne mounted the pulpit. Here every eye was directed to him, and every ear ready to catch the words of his text, which turned out to their astonishment, to be the following: "We have toiled all night, and have caught no fish." The congregation looked at each other; some smiled, others stopped their mouths with their handkerchiefs to prevent them from laughing, while the old folks wore very serious faces, and thought the humorist a very odd sort of a man for a pulpit lecturer. However, they attended to his discourse which turned out as usual, very instructive, and all went home highly diverted with the text, except poor Mrs. Sterne, who blushed down to her finger's ends every step of the way home.
