KENTUCKY GAZETTE
NUMBER II.]
Saturday, November 26, 1796.
[VOLUME X.]
LEXINGTON:—PRINTED BY J. BRADFORD, ON MAIN STREET, WHERE SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE RECEIVED AT 15/ PER ANNUM.
To the Public.
From a received opinion that the different Departments in the General Government, now are (or shortly may be) filled with men, whose political sentiments differ materially from those who lately filled them; it may be presumed, that an entire new system of policy may be adopted, or at least a material change made in the present: In either case, Citizens of every description, must feel themselves deeply interested. As there is no other possible method by which the people at large can, at this remote distance, be made acquainted with such proceedings in the different Departments, as will enable them to form a right judgment of the general political system, but through the medium of the press; and as the present plan of the News-Papers, published in this State is too contracted, completely to answer so desirable an end, as well as the ordinary purposes of a News-Paper, the Editor submits the following
PROPOSALS
For Publishing the KENTUCKY GAZETTE twice a week:
 I. That this Paper be published every Wed. day and Saturday, from and after the first day of January next.  II. That the price per annum to Subscribers, be THREE DOLLARS AND A HALF; one half to be paid at the time of Subscribing, and the balance at the end of the Year. 
As the existence of a News-Paper depends entirely on the patronage of the public; it would be improper to attempt any material change in one already established, without first obtaining their approbation; wherefore, the Editor requests all those who are Subscribers to the KENTUCKY GAZETTE on the present plan, and who disapprove of the above alteration, to signify their disapprobation before the time it is intended to take effect—such as are silent, will be considered as assenting to the proposals, and consequently their papers continued.
The public's humble servant. JOHN BRADFORD.

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.

Foreign Intelligence.
ARMY OF THE SAMBRE AND MEUSE.
Jourdan, General in Chief, to the Executive Directory.
“Head Quarters, 7 Fructidor, (24th August.)”
“I have the honor to inform you, that Prince Charles arrived with a corps of 25,000 men, formed a junction with gen. Wartenleben, and on the 5th attacked gen. Bernadotte, who was at Tenning before Newmark, for the purpose of covering my communications, while, agreeably to your orders, I followed the army of general Wartenleben, without being able to make him engage. General Bernadotte gave in those circumstances fresh proofs of talents and of courage, and the troops under his command fought with the greatest intrepidity. But he was obliged to yield to superior force, and this general found it necessary to retire behind Lauff and Nuremberg, to avoid being surrounded.
“Prince Charles, in consequence of this, advanced on my rear with the greatest part of the corps which had forced gen. Bernadotte to fall back, and I in my turn run the risk of being surrounded in a country where communication is extremely difficult. My position and the enemy's force, did not permit me to engage, without evidently risking the safety of the army. I therefore retreated to Amberg. In this position I was soon attacked by gen. Wartenleben in front, and by the Archduke in flank. I was then obliged to fall back as far as Sulzbach, after having made that resistance which honor and military duty required. I cannot yet give you the details of this affair. I believe we lost no artillery. I am to leave this place to night, and retire to Vendoo, afterwards to Grafenberga, and then to Forheim, where I propose to concentrate the army.
“I hope that general Moreau will profit by that circumstance, and that his successes will soon call back to the Danube the forces which have fallen upon me.
“JOURDAN.”
ARMY OF THE RHINE AND MOSELLE.
The commander in chief writes thus from Augsburg, on the 8th Fructidor (Aug. 25.) — “Being informed, that the Archduke Charles had detached a corps against the army of the Sambre and Meuse, he determined to make a diversion by attacking gen. La Tour, encamped at Freidberg, and passing the Lech at a place where it was fordable. The left wing passed this river first at a ford unknown to the enemy, and which they had neglected to guard, opposite to Haßelfeldt; the volunteers were above their middle in water, and carried their muskets on their heads. The current was so rapid, that the first who advanced were almost entirely hurried away, but were afterwards relieved. Our troops took possession of Kussling, and gained the heights which lead to Ortmaring, on the left flank of the enemy. The enemy, with their artillery and infantry, covered all the river opposite the centre of the army. General St. Cyr began to attack by a discharge from the artillery and musketry, which drawing on that of the enemy, & even diminished it sensibly, allowed the 21st demi brigade of light infantry, and the 31st of the line, and the 9th regiment of hussars, under the command of Laroche, to pass at two fords, to the right and left of Lech Hausen, which village was instantly attacked; the enemy lost five pieces of cannon, and were chased from the hamlet near the other bridge which the enemy had fortified with artillery — we attacked the position of Freidberg. The advanced guard on the right, commanded by gen. Abattucci, moved to the left on the road of Munich, in order to cut off that retreat. The rest of the force under gen. Ferino marched on the enemy's flank. Gen. St. Cyr attacked on the front. Hemmed in on all sides, the enemy were soon put to the route. The division of gen. Ferino pursued as far as Rinschthal. Gen. Vandamme, at the head of the 20th regiment of chasseurs, the 9th and 17th regiment of hussars, and a part of the 2d chasseurs, pursued to near the valley of La Ser. From 15 to 1600 prisoners were taken, and forty officers, of whom three were of superior rank, and the aid-de-camp of gen. Latour; sixteen or seventeen pieces of cannon, and two standards were also taken. The infantry mark-
men followed the enemy with as much rapidity as the horse; and the fatigue only of the men and horses obliged them to cease the pursuit.
The detachment of the left wing, which was before Langenyick, passed the Lech at a ford opposite the village, but it was too deep for the artillery; such of the infantry and light cavalry as passed, after having surprised and taken a post of 25 hussars, who could not believe it possible to cross by that passage, marched on the road to Nuberg to Friedberg, and took 100 men, 8 waggons, and 30 horses, the wreck of gen. Latour's corps.
“MOREAU.”
General Hausman, writes from Augsburg on the 10th Fructidor, Aug. 27.
“By my letter of yesterday, I announced to you the memorable action of the 7th. The number of prisoners taken on that day has been much more considerable than I informed you of. More than 2000 have passed through this town. Our troops took possession of Munich last night.
“The Elector fled a few days before, after having left persons properly authorized to treat with the commander in chief.
The Austrian army is every day weakened by the defection of its allies, and by the prisoners which are taken.
“HAUSSMAN.”
ARMY OF ITALY. The Commander in Chief to the Executive Directory.
“Head Quarters, Milan, 9th Fructidor (Aug. 6.)”
“The division of gen. Sahuguet has blockaded Mantua. — On the 24th at three o'clock in the morning, we attacked the bridge of Governolo and Borgoforte, in order to force the garrison to retire within the walls. — After a spirited cannonade, gen. Sahuguet in person crossed the bridge of Governolo, whilst gen. Dallamayne took Borgoforte. The enemy lost 500 men killed, wounded and taken prisoners. The 12th demi-brigade, and citizen Lahos, have distinguished themselves greatly. Our small galleys have left Peschiera, from whence they took ten large boats and two pieces of cannon belonging to the enemy. — Every thing here has the most satisfactory appearance. — I am informed that general Wurmser is recalled, and replaced by gen. de Vins.
“BUONAPARTE.”
The General of Division, Chief of the Etat Major General, to the Commissioners of Government, Salicetti and Garrat.
“Head Quarters at Brescia, 2d Fructidor (Aug. 19.)”
“All goes well: the enemy is at Trent; they have evacuated Riva, after having burnt their marine on the Lake of Garda. The Head Quarters of Wurmser are at two leagues beyond Trent. We are occupied in putting our divisions in order to march, and to commence a new campaign, which will give a final blow to the Emperor. I hope in the course of a few days to have exchanged all our brothers in arms, who are in the enemy's power; they amount to 163 officers, 169 sergents, 360 corporals, and 1608 soldiers. I declare it to be a great happiness to me to see our brave Republicans delivered from the hands of the enemy, and to know they are again combating under the banner of Liberty with new ardour.
“ALEX. BERTHIER.”
PARIS, September 1.
The Executive Directory has been officially informed of a communication being established between the army of the Rhine and the Moselle and that of Italy.
Recent intelligence from Germany announces facts of great importance. The Austrian troops it is confidently reported, are every where disarming the Bavarian garrisons and taking possession of the forts of that Electorate. Thus the idea of uniting Bavaria to the House of Austria's dominions is revived, and it is said that the King of Prussia has consented to this measure with the condition that he shall be at liberty to take the free Imperial Cities, and join them to his own dominions.
The King of Naples is busily employed in military preparations. Twenty battalions and 4000 cavalry are ordered to hold themselves in readiness for action. Recruits continually arrive, and patriotic donations in money and horses are every day received.
LONDON September 13
It will be seen by the following letter, translated from a French journal, that an expedition has, for some time been, meditated against Corsica. “Oguelio, 18th Thermidor August 5.
“Every thing is ready for the expedition against Corsica, which is here regarded as an easy business. All the Corsicans, without distinction, are repairing in crowds to Leghorn, from whence the troops are to take their departure. It is said the Spanish squadron is in the Mediterranean, and that the squadron from Toulon will immediately put to sea to cover his descent. — It is there reported, that the Republican banner is floating all over Corsica, except in two or three fortified places. Those Corsicans who are here are burning with impatience to revenge the sufferings, and the individual hardships which they have experienced at the hands of the English.”
The Emperor has published a long proclamation, calling upon his subjects to stand forward as volunteers, on the present urgent situation of affairs. — He states,
“That though fear, and perhaps intentional reports, magnify the danger more than it in reality is, and present it as near at hand, we must not conceal from our faithful subjects that the situation of affairs is pressing, and does not allow us to remain satisfied with ordinary measures, but imposes on us, and those who wish to see the welfare of the state secure, more than extraordinary exertions. — At the same time, says he, we promise to all those who shall willingly follow this our call, and who shall offer their municipalities to serve the army; 1st. That as soon as ever we shall have secured to the nation agreeably to our wish and desire, an honorable and permanent peace, they shall be dismissed at the termination of the war. 2d. That during the war they shall be treated as volunteers. 3d. That they shall be at liberty, agreeably to their abilities and capacity, to choose and name the regiment in which they wish to serve; and that. — 4th. As a just recompence on their return home, every possible assistance shall be given to them in their employments and settling; and that, on all occasions, they shall be preferred.”
The Gazette of Tuesday last contains two orders of the King in council, for licencing till the 15th December next the exportation of goods, in neutral vessels, to the United Provinces, Austria and Italy; and the accepting, indorsing, and paying Bills of Exchange, &c. from the said places, under certain restrictions therein set forth.
A separate treaty of peace is now negotiating between the elector of Bavaria and the French Republic, for the most cogent of all reasons, because on the 16th the French entered Munich his capital.
The Directory has officially contradicted the report of the want of good faith in the King of Sardinia, and that he had refused to execute the clauses of his treaty with the Republic.
DUBLIN, September 2.
That the administration of this country are not a little alarmed, may be inferred from the suddenness and frequency of their councils — but it is to be feared that their alarm is not so timely as it ought to be for the public good. It has been repeatedly charged against administration, that they would neglect the projects of the French and oppose them with nothing but majorities and invective in parliament, until that uncommon enemy were at their very doors — they have now to defend themselves against the charge with something stronger than words. — The same objection that lies to the British administration, or rather a few of the men who govern its determinations, applies in a ten-fold degree to Ireland. A few unpopular characters may do very well to squeeze taxes out of a people, and to harass public spirit, while they enjoy authority, and perfect large sums for that burthen. But flagrante bello , a little island menaced by a large continent — other men — other principles — other language — other views — a renunciation of the old creed, is indispensably necessary. If the force of a nation is to be concentrated, its centre ought to be confidence and esteem — for if a people dread their enemies no more than their rulers, it is difficult to calculate upon the direction of their strength.
DRESDEN, August 27. Intelligence has been received here
of considerable advantages having been obtained by the united armies of the Archduke Charles and Gen. Wartenleben over that of General Jourdan. — These accounts state, that after Gen. Wartenleben left Amberg, he retreated to the left side of the Nab, having his main corps opposite to Schwarzenfeldt, with two different corps besides towards Neibourg and Schwartzdross, where he remained whilst Gen. Jourdan's army advanced near him on the opposite side of the river, in three divisions of which he himself commanded the centre. — This was about the 20th or 21st of August. — That the Archduke, after abandoning Donawert, had retired behind the Lech and taken a strong position near its confluence with the Danube; but, understanding, that independent of Gen. Jourdan's grand army in face of Gen. Wartenleben, another division of the French under Gen. Championet, was advancing towards Raissbon. His Royal Highness after leaving a strong corps behind the Lech, to observe Gen. Moreau marched along the Danube with the remainder (about 40,000 men,) and passed that river at Ingolstadt, about the 17th or 18th — that from thence he advanced by Dietfurt to Teining, where he met the advanced posts of gen. Championet's division, beat them back, & followed them towards Cassel, on the way to Amberg. That by this gen. Jourdan took alarm and recalled his troops towards Amberg, and in proportion as he retreated, gen. Wartenleben advanced. — That between Amberg and Sulzbach, gen. Jourdan drew up his army, and a battle ensued, in which the Austrians were victorious. That the loss of the French on this occasion, was supposed to be 5000 killed, and 2000 made prisoners, with about 30 pieces of cannon. — That the whole of the Austrian army was not engaged, but a considerable corps was detached at the same time to Hunspruch, Lauff and Nuremberg, of which city the Austrians took possession.
NAVAL ENGAGEMENT.
Extract of a letter from Alicante, June 20.
“The beginning of this month a most terrible and obstinate battle was fought near Corsica, between an Algerine rover and two Neapolitan frigates, joined by one of the Pope's guards vessels. The action was severe, long and bloody; it lasted from ten o'clock in the morning till four in the afternoon, without intermission; the combatants were for a long time without pistol shot of each other. The pirate suffered much, being most of the time between an inconstant and well directed fire, which cut away great part of their rigging, and made terrible havoc amongst the men; yet the Russians fought with an uncommon degree of desperation, & attempted many times to board, but were as often repulsed, with great loss. The captain and all the officers were killed in the heat of the action — the former had both his legs taken off by a chain shot, yet the barbarian refused to be taken from the deck, and died whilst giving the word of command. This loss did not the least intimidate the terrible crew, who fought like furies, swearing in various tongues they would not strike while a man or boy was left alive. — The christians were equally obstinate, and fought like lions throughout the whole conflict, and shewed great bravery and skill — they were to a man fully determined to conquer or die. Unluckily one of the frigates, which bore the greatest stress in the action, took fire, and in spite of every exertion, soon blew up, when most of the crew perished. Another misfortune presenting itself a short time after, which was the loss of the pope's cruiser, which was sunk by the enemy's shot, after a gallant resistance. In this situation the other frigate was obliged to be towed away, leaving the Algerine like a log upon the water, having her fore and main mast carried away by the board, and the hull so much pierced and shattered, that it was almost impossible she could ever reach Algiers. — The pirate fought under the bloody flag, and mounted 24 guns, besides pateraroes; the frigates had 20 guns each, and the pope's cruiser 10 and 8 swivels.”
TAKEN up by the subscriber in Hobson county, two Miles from Miller Mills, one bay mare six years old, 14 hands high, with a bald face, and a lump on her hind pastern joint no brand, appraised to 121. August 4, 1796. THOMAS NEEL.

HANAU, August 13. This moment intelligence is received here that the corps of gen. Wartensleben, in Franconia, is retreating towards the Danube. On the 9th inst. his head quarters were at Lauf, and on the 10th at Hirschluck. The French continue to penetrate farther; on the 9th, part of their advanced guard was only a league and a half from Nuremberg. One of their generals afterwards entered that city with some chasseurs, and on the 10th instant a French corps of 2000 men was expected there.
STABIA, August 10. The left wing of the French army, under gen. Defaix penetrated so rapidly through Heidheim and Ellwangen to the frontiers of Franconia, that already on the 5th the French had a garrison in the imperial city of Dinkelsbuhl.—The French were likewise at Dillingen and Pappenheim.
PARIS, August 22. The Circles of Franconia have obtained an armistice, and agreed to pay the republic eight millions in money, and to find 2000 horses.
A report is this moment current, that Mantua has capitulated, and that the army of the Rhine has effected a junction in the Tyrol with that of Italy.

OFFICIAL LETTER FROM CADIZ, To the Minister of the Marine at Paris. Cadiz, 10 Thermidor, (August 5)
Yesterday the two Spanish squadrons, under the command of Admirals Languara and Solana, with that of the Republic, commanded by Admiral Richery, failed together from this port. They made their way with a favorable wind, and are now out of sight. The departure of these three squadrons at the same time all well armed, and well commanded, has thrown a consternation among the enemies of the Republic. The people here are lost in conjectures; but they look forward for great events; time will fix all these uncertainties."
LONDON, August 27. A letter from Brussels of the 27th inst. mentioned an attack having been made by the army of the Sambre and Meuse at Dunkerke, which after an obstinate contest, proved unsuccessful, the Austrians having been obliged to retreat, with the loss of a considerable number of men killed, wounded, and taken prisoners.
A letter from Heidelberg of the 12th inst. gives advice, that all the bridges on the Danube have been broken down, and that Gen. Frolich, with his corps was stationed in the environs of Gunzburg. The cannon could be very distinctly heard roaring at Augsburg, near Strotzingen and Giengen.
A letter from Vienna, of the 6th inst. announces, that at the great council of war held on that day, in the presence of the Emperor, a deputation from the people of Hungary, consisting of twenty persons, were announced to inform his majesty that an army of 40,000 Hungarians, destined to defend his dominions would be ready to march in less than six weeks. The deputation repeated the demand of the same nation, to be permitted the free exportation of its productions to the rest of the Emperor's hereditary dominions.
The Emperor moved at this token of loyalty, answered:
"That as he thought the war was approaching to its conclusion, he could not think of accepting such an obliging offer, but he would be glad to see such a large mass of men preferred for the tranquility of the rest of his dominions, &c."
At the end of the same Council, the Minister Count Lehrbach, was sent with dispatches for the French generals, for citizen Barthelemy, and the Directory at Paris.
MADAME DE LA FAYETTE. Madame de la Fayette, who, besides the respect which is always due to misfortune, may claim that which an assemblage of every domestic virtue
commands, has just experienced from the emperor a new act of cruelty, which cannot fail of inspiring the most callous heart with indignation. Her daughters' health and her own, having materially suffered from the pestilential air of the dungeons of Olmutz, where, according to Mr. Fox's expression, "these living victims are interred," she solicited for three months incessantly, the indulgence of being allowed to write to the emperor to obtain his majesty's permission to go with her daughters to Vienna for a few days, in order to procure medical advice. After a considerable time the brutal commandant ordered the prison doors to be opened, and having locked the young ladies in a separate dungeon, he signified to the mother, who remained alone with him, that his imperial majesty had been pleased to determine that on no consideration whatever should she go to Vienna, but that she might quit the prison on condition of never returning to it. He required a written answer for the emperor's perusal, which was given as follows:
Letter of Madame de la Fayette. "The commandant of Olmutz informed me yesterday, that, in answer to my request of being allowed to go for eight days to Vienna, for the purpose of consulting the faculty, his imperial majesty signified that on no consideration whatever I am to be permitted to visit that capital, and that he will consent to my quitting this prison only on condition of never entering it more. I have the honor to reiterate the answer which I made the commandant.—To solicit the assistance which the state of my health requires, is a duty which I owed my family and my friends; but they are sensible that it is impossible for me to purchase it at the price which it is offered. I cannot forget that while we were both on the point of perishing—me, by the tyranny of Robespierre—M. de la Fayette, by the moral and physical sufferings of his captivity, that I was not allowed to obtain any account of him, or to inform him that his children and myself were yet in existence; and nothing shall tempt me to expose myself a second time to the horrors of such a separation.—Whatever then may be the state of my health, or, inconveniences which may result to myself and my daughters from this habitation, we will all three avail ourselves with gratitude of the goodness of his imperial majesty, who permits us to share this captivity in all its details."
We know not what effect this letter may have on the obdurate courtier who has sacrificed all his genuine feeling on the shrine of etiquette, and who shapes even his emotions, as he doth his coat, from the fashion of the day but to sensibility or unpolitic nature, it will give a strong and lasting shock. How important seems the power of despotism when opposed to the constancy of female virtue! This exalted woman displays an heroism worthy of the best times of Rome, and of its purest matrons; and however statesmen and cabineis may stifle the impression that the dignity of her suffering must inwardly awaken in their hearts, we have no doubt but that the gallantry of the French people will be aroused in her vindication, and that the impetuous voice of the directory will give freedom to the object of her tenderness and regard.
Lexington, November 26.
No Ohio Mail this week.—We hope those whose duty it is, will give official notice to the Post-Master-General of the frequent failure of the Ohio Mail, which has been twice in the last four weeks; and frequently once a month in the finest weather. There is no doubt, that proper steps will be taken to remedy the evil, as soon as the Post-Master-General is officially informed thereof.
A very great and sudden change has taken place in the Atmosphere this week.—On Monday evening, the Mercury stood at 65, (Farenheit's scale,) on Thursday morning, at 22, and this morning at 15—17 deg. below freezing.

Friends and Fellow Citizens, THE period has now arrived that it becomes you to look up to the Senate of this Commonwealth it being one branch of the Legislature which have been framed in our Constitution as guardian to support our rights which on the tenth day of November in 1796 have refused to take under consideration the petition of Benjamin Logan, which petition sets forth the disqualification of Jas. Garrard in exercising the office of gov. the business that being before them and refusing to take up the same, amounts of denying him the benefit of his right to the Constitution and laws now in force in this commonwealth, by which mode of proceeding it may follow that tyranny and despotism may take place in that branch of the legislature by the acting of the following names to wit Green Clay, John Campbell, Robert Molby, James Knox, Hubbard Taylor, William Henry, and John Machir, as this impression has been fixed on myself I shall be silent as to the mode of proceeding for redress but have thought proper to inform the public that they may pursue their own mode of proceeding for redress on similar occasions.
BENJAMIN LOGAN.
November 18, 1796. WHEREAS a certain Wm. Smith, who has been employed the summer past by William McDowell of Mercer county, has strove to hurt my character by false representations—I do hereby inform the public, that I can prove him a Coward, a Liar, and a Thief—the former I can prove by three respectable gentlemen, two of them of Mercer county, the third of Frankfort; a liar and a thief I can prove him by Col. Patterson of Lexington, Mr. Barker the constable, and some others, as Mr. Barker arrested him for property he had stolen from me, and brought him before Col. Patterson, where he denied ever taking the property, till he found he must give it up or go to jail; he then gave it up to the constable thief like, which I can boldly say he is.

SCHEME OF A LOTTERY
For raising the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars, for the purpose of erecting a DUCK and LINEN MANUFACTORY in Georgetown. In three Classes—4000 Dollars by the first, and 3000 the two last.
CLASS THE FIRST. 1 Prize of 1000 Dol. is 1000 Dol. 1 1000 1000 3 400 100 1 300 300 6 100 1 00 10 100 1000 0 50 1000 40 0 4800 800 1 9600 695 6 4170 of 200 dollars each being 1 for the first and 1 for the last drawn ticket, 400 6670 1779 Prizes. 3555 Blanks. 5334 Tickets, at 5 Dollars each is 26670 Subject to a discount of Fifteen per Centum.
As every encouragement ought to be given to manufactures in this state, this in particular claims the attention of the public. The many advantages which will arise from manufacturing Ducks, must be so forcibly striking to every man of reflection, that the managers think it unnecessary to enlarge on the subject; and the later a principle upon which the scheme is founded (not two blanks to a prize) will, exclusive of that encouragement, justify the speculative adventurer upon principles of gain. The managers therefore flatter themselves that they will meet with such encouragement in the sales of the tickets as will in a short time justify their appointing and giving public notice when the drawing of the lottery will commence.
Tickets may be had by applying in Lexington to mess. John Bradford and Alexander M'Gregor, in Frankfort to Mr. George Madison, in Versailles to Doctor Preston, or to
J. GRANT, W. HENRY, J. HAWKINS. Managers.
Any person purchasing 20 tickets shall have credit until the Lottery is drawn.
All persons indebted to the printer hereof, are earnestly requested to pay up their respective balance—those who live at a distance, and whose papers are conveyed by post, may discharge their accounts at the post offices where their papers are lodged—viz at Washington to Mr. Edward Harris; at Paris to Mr. Thomas Eades; at Frankfort to Mr. Richard M Gano; at Harrodsburgh to Mr. Philip Bull; at Danville to Mr. Walter E. Strong; at Bardstown to Mr. Benjamin Grayson; at Louisville to Mr. Michael Lacasagne; and at Georgetown to Mr. William Story, who will be furnished with the respective accounts.—The above Gentlemen will also receive subscriptions for this paper, at 15s per annum, one half to be paid at the time of subscribing, and the balance at the expiration of the year.
It is needless to urge the necessity of a compliance with the above request, as every one must be sensible that it will be otherwise impossible for the Printer to comply with his necessary engagements, having no other resource.

JEMIMA in reply to KADANDA.
YE nymphs, who unthinking rove, As merry as crickets at eve; Beware of KADANDA's false love, For the shepherd will surely deceive.
I once was as cheerful as you, And pranc'd like a colt o'er the plain, While swift as an arrow I flew, I laugh'd at each amorous swain.
My locks were as black as a crow, And I dress'd like a butterfly gay; My skin was as white as the snow, And I sung like a lark all the day.
As unsex'd as the wind, or the weather, I can't do a fig what was said; My heart was as light as a feather— But now it is heavy as lead!
For of late as I rambl'd the grove, KADANDA I met the mean while; He gaz'd, whin'd, and talk'd so of love, That I tnot his words sinootter than oil.
His eyes were as blue as the sky, His ringlets were softer than silk; His bosom was big with a sigh, His heart seem'd as warm as new milk.
His passion he swore was as strong As mustard, and firm as a rock; That his love should continue as long— I believ'd ev'ry word that he spoke!
He now has forsaken me quite, Some other JEMIMA to follow; But her favors the traitor will slight— His heart like a pumpkin is hollow.
I mourn like a dove all the day, And my face is grown lean as a rake; My body is so pined away, That I'm almost as poor as a snake.
My locks are grown grey as a rat, Which the swains used to praise & admire; And my eyes are as blind as a bat, And with weeping became red as fire.
Thus flat as a pancake I lie, By love, cruel love, I'm undone; I am sick as a notice, and shall die For KADANDA, as sure as a gun.
JEMIMA.
ANECDOE.
A country farmer being in company with some funny fellows, drank very plentifully till night came on and his senses fled. At which they agreed to mount him on his horse, (which was very gentle and would go directly home,) with his face to the tail. So up they mounted him, and turned the horse loose, who went at an easy foot pace till the farmer fell fast asleep, and in an hour's time the horse was at home, and fell to neighing. At which his wife came out with a candle, and seeing her husband in that condition, began to take on bitterly, and waking him, told the greatness of his sin, &c. Upon which he roused his eyes, and looking about him, cried out in a great passion, Poh, hold your tongue woman, nothing vexes me so much, as that the plaguy rogues won't cut my horse's head off.
