A bright bay, about fourteen hands high, eight or nine years old, very lengthy, some very remarkable white spots on his breast, neck and back, branded with D on the near buttock.

JOHN JAMISON. Franklin county, March 12, 1797.
Seventy-five Dollars Reward.
RUNAWAY from the subscriber, the tenth of December last, a likely Negro Fellow, named Ishmael, about twenty-six 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 intigation 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 sore, 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 cautious 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. The above reward, will be given, for the three negroes, delivered to me on Hickman creek, Fayette county, or lodged in any jail in the state, or twenty-five dollars each, and all reasonable charges, paid by B. NETHERLAND. Agent for JOHN NETHERLAND. March 16, 1797.

President's Speech.
WHEN it was first perceived in early times that no middle course for America remained, between unlimited submission to a foreign legislature, and total independence of its claims, men of reflection were less apprehensive of danger, from the formidable power of fleets and armies, they must determine to resist, than from those contests and dissensions which would certainly arise, concerning the forms of government to be instituted over the whole, and over the parts of this extensive country. Relying, however, on the purity of their intentions, the justice of their cause, and the integrity and intelligence of the people, under an over-ruling providence, which had so signally protected this country from the first, the representatives of this nation, little more than half its present numbers, not only broke to pieces the chains which were forging, and the rod of iron that was lifted up, but frankly cut asunder the ties which had bound them, and launched into an ocean of uncertainty.
The zeal and ardour of the people during the revolutionary war, supplying the place of government, commanded a degree of order, sufficient at least for the temporary preservation of society. The confederation which was early felt to be necessary, was prepared from the models of the Batavian and Helvetic confederacies, the only examples which remain with any detail and precision, in history; and certainly the only ones, which the people at large had ever considered. But reflecting on the striking difference, in so many particulars, between this country and those where a courier may go from the seat of government to the frontier in a single day, it was then certainly foreseen by some who assisted in Congress at the formation of it, that it could not be durable.
Negligence of its regulations, inattention to its recommendation, if not disobedience to its authority, not only in individuals but in states, soon appeared with their melancholy consequences, universal languor, jealousies and rivalry of states, decline of navigation and commerce, discouragement of necessary manufactures, universal fall in the value of lands, and their produce; contempt of public and private faith, loss of consideration and credit with foreign nations; and at length in discords and animosities, combinations, partial conventions, and insurrection, threatening some great national calamity.
In this dangerous crisis the people of America were not abandoned by their usual good sense, presence of mind, resolution and integrity. Measures were pursued to concert a plan, to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty. The public disquisitions, discussions, and deliberations issued in the present happy constitution of government.
Employed in the service of my country abroad during the whole course of these transactions, I first saw the constitution of the United States in a foreign country. Irritated by no literary altercation, animated by no public debates, heated by no party animosity, I read it with great satisfaction as the result of good heads, prompted by good hearts, as an experiment, better adapted to the genius, character, situation and relations of this nation and country, than any which had ever been proposed or suggested. In its general principles and great outlines, it was conformable to such a system of government, as I had ever most esteemed, and in some states, my own native state in particular, had contributed to establish. Claiming a right of suffrage, in common with my fellow citizens, in the adoption or rejection of a constitution which was to rule me and my posterity, as well as them and theirs, I did not hesitate to express my approbation of it, on all occasions, in public & in private. It was not then, nor has been since, any objection to it, in my mind that the Executive and Senate were not more permanent. Nor have I ever entertained a thought of promoting any alteration in it, but such as the people themselves, in the course of their experience should see or feel to be necessary or expedient, and by their representatives in Congress and
the state legislatures, according to the constitution itself, adopt or ordain.
Returning to the bosom of my country, after a painful separation from it, for ten years, I had the honor to be elected to a station under the new Order of Things, and I have repeatedly laid myself under the most serious obligations to support the constitution. The operation of it has equalled the most sanguine expectations of its friends: and from an habitual attention to it, satisfaction in its administration and delight in its effects, upon the peace, order, prosperity and happiness of the nation, I have acquired an habitual attachment to it, and veneration for it.
What other form of government indeed, can so well deserve our esteem and love?
There may be little solidity in an ancient idea, that congregations of men into cities and nations, are the most pleasing objects in the sight of superior intelligences; but this is very certain, that to a benevolent human mind there can be no spectacle presented by any nation, more pleasing, more noble, majestic or august, than an Assembly like that which has so often been seen in this and the other chamber of Congress, of a government, in which the executive authority, as well as that of all the branches of the legislature, are exercised by citizens selected, at regular periods, by their neighbours, to make and execute laws for their general good. Can anything essential, any thing more than mere ornament and decoration be added to this by robes and diamonds? Can authority be more amiable or respectable, when it descends from accidents, or institutions established in remote antiquity, than when it springs fresh from the hearts and judgments of an honest and enlightened People? For it is the People only that are represented: it is their Power, and Majesty that is reflected and only for their good, in every legitimate Government, under whatever form it may appear. The existence of such a government as ours, for any length of time, is a full proof of a general dissemination of knowledge and virtue, throughout the whole body of the People. And what object or consideration more pleasing than national pride is ever justifiable or excusable, it is when it springs, not from Power or Riches, Grandeur or Glory, but from conviction of national innocence, Information and Benevolence.
"In the midst of these pleasing ideas we should be unfaithful to ourselves if we should ever lose sight of the danger to our liberties, if any thing partial or extraneous should infect the purity of our free, fair, virtuous and independent elections. If an election is to be determined by a majority of a single vote, and that can be procured by a Party, through Artifice or Corruption, the Government may be the choice of a Party, for its own ends, not of the Nation, for the national Good. If that solitary suffrage can be obtained by Foreign Nations by flattery or menaces, by fraud or violence, by terror, intrigue or venality, the Government may not be the choice of the American People, but of Foreign Nations. It may be Foreign Nations who govern us, and not we the People who govern ourselves. And candid men will acknowledge, that in such cases, Choice would have little advantage to boast of, over Lot or Chance."
"Such is the amiable and interesting system of Government (and such are some of the abuses to which it may be exposed) which the People of America have exhibited to the administration and anxiety of the wise and virtuous of all Nations, for eight years, under the administration of a Citizen, who, by a long course of great actions, regulated by Prudence, Justice, Temperance and Fortitude: conducting a People, inspired with the same virtues, and animated with the same ardent patriotism and love of liberty, to independence and peace, to increasing wealth and unexampled prosperity; has merited the gratitude of his fellow citizens, commanded the highest praises of foreign nations, and secured immortal glory with posterity."
"In that retirement which is his voluntary choice, may he long live to enjoy the delicious recollection of his services, the gratitude of mankind; the happy fruits of them to himself and the world, which are daily increasing, and that splendid prospect of the future fortunes of his country, which is opening from year to year. His name may be still a rampart, and
the knowledge that he lives a bulwark against all open or secret enemies of his country's peace."
"This example has been recommended to the imitation of his successors, by both houses of congress, and by the voice of the legislatures and the people, throughout the nation."
"On this subject it might become me better to be silent, or to speak with diffidence: but as something may be expected, the occasion, I hope, will be admitted as an apology, if I venture to say, that
"If, a preference, upon principle, of a free Republican Government, formed upon long and serious reflection, after a diligent and impartial enquiry after truth; if an attachment to the Constitution of the United States, & a conscientious determination to support it, until it shall be altered by the judgments and wishes of the people, expressed in the mode prescribed in it; —if, a respectful attention to the constitutions of the Individual States and a constant caution and delicacy towards the state Governments; if an equal and impartial regard to the Rights Interests, Honour and Happiness of all the States in the Union, without preference or regard to a Northern or Southern, an Eastern or Western position, their various political opinions on unessential points, or their personal attachments; if a love of virtuous men of all parties and Denominations; if a love of science and Letters, and a wish to patronize every rational effort to encourage Schools, Colleges Universities, Academies, and every Institution for propagating Knowledge, Virtue and Religion among all classes of the people: not only for their benign influence on the happiness of life, in all its stages and classes, and of Society in all its forms; but as the only means of preserving our Constitution from its natural Enemies, the Spirit of Sophistry, the Spirit of Party, the Spirit of Intrigue, the Profligacy of Corruption, and the Pettiness of Foreign Influence, which is the Angel of Destruction to Elective Governments; if a love of Equal Laws, of Justice and Humanity, in the interior Administration; if an inclination to improve Agriculture, Commerce and Manufactures for necessity, Convenience and Defence; if a Spirit of Equity and Humanity towards the aboriginal Nations of America, and a disposition to meliorate their condition, by inclining them to be more friendly to us, and our Citizens to be more friendly to them; if an inflexible determination to maintain Peace and Inviolable Faith, with all Nations, and that System of Neutrality and Impartiality, among Belligerent Powers of Europe, which has been adopted by this Government, and so solemnly sanctioned by both Houses of Congress, and applauded by the Legislatures of the States and the public Opinion, until it shall be otherwise ordained by Congress; if a personal esteem for the French Nation, formed in a residence of seven years chiefly among them, and a sincere desire to preserve the friendship which has been so much for the honour and interest of both Nations; if, while the conscious honour and integrity of the People of America and the internal sentiments of their own power and energies must be preserved an earnest endeavour to investigate every just cause and remove every colourable pretence of complaint; if an intention to pursue by amicable negotiation, a reparation for the Injuries that have been committed on the Commerce of our Fellow-Citizens by whatever Nation; and if success cannot be obtained, to lay the facts before the Legislature, that they may consider, what further measures the Honour and Interest of the Government and its Constituents demand; if a resolution to do justice, as far as may depend upon me, at all times and to all Nations, and maintain Peace, Friendship and Benevolence with all the World; If an unshaken Confidence in the Honour, Spirit and resources of the American People on which I have so often Hazarded my all, and never been deceived; if, elevated ideas of the high destinies of this Country, and of my own duties towards it, founded on a knowledge of the moral Principles and intellectual Improvements of the People, deeply engraved on my mind in early life, and not obscured but exalted by Experience and Age; —And, with humble reverence I feel it to be my duty to, add, if, a veneration for the religion of a People, who profess and call themselves Christians, and a fixed resolution to
consider a decent respect for Christianity, among the best recommendations for the public service: can enable me, in any degree to comply with your wishes, it shall be my strenuous endeavour that this sagacious injunction of the two Houses shall not be without effect."
"With this great example before me; with the sense and spirit, the faith and honour, the duty and interest of the same American People, pledged to support the Constitution of the United States, I entertain no doubt of its continuance in all its energy, and my mind is prepared, without hesitation, to lay myself under the most solemn obligations to support it, to the utmost of my power."
"And may that being, who is Supreme over All, the Patron of Order, the Fountain of Justice, and the Protector, in all ages of the World, of virtuous Liberty, continue his Blessing upon this Nation and its Government, and give it all possible Success and Duration, consistent with the Ends of His Providence."
CHARLESTON, (S. C.) Feb. 23.
Information by Captain Flagg.
In Italy, captain Flagg understood, that the French armies had been invariably successful, and he thinks accounts had been received of the surrender of Mantua. He understood, that one of the demands made by the French government, was to give up Gibraltar. From the observations capt. Flagg made in Cadiz, he thinks the war between Spain and Great Britain is far from being popular. The siege of Gibraltar by the Spanish army had not commenced, and he thinks it will be some considerable time before it is attempted. The Spanish fleet had been dispersed in the Mediterranean, by a gale of wind, after which the greatest part of them got into Carthagena, and several of them into other ports of Spain.
Capt. Flagg did not learn what became of the British fleet, after it left Corsica.
Accounts were received at Cadiz, a short time before capt. Flagg sailed, from the American agent at Maggadore which informed, that instructions had been given to the cruisers of the emperor of Morocco to take all American vessels. The reason given for these orders was, that several vessels under American colors, had carried supplies to the brother of the emperor, who is in rebellion against him.
Our readers may recollect, that captain Flagg was taken on his passage from this port for Gibraltar, and carried into Tariff, by a French cruiser, in October last, under the decree of the French government, which directs all American vessels, bound to British ports, to be carried in. After three months detention, and appealing from the sentence of the French consul, who had condemned her, to the minister at Madrid, his vessel was restored to him, and the freight paid, the cargo is sold, but the captors have given ample security, for payment of the amount, if it is decreed to be restored.
About Christmas last, an order was issued in Cadiz, prohibiting the importation of rice from the United States of America, into Spain. It was said to be in consequence of a large quantity of that article having been raised in West Florida.
ALEXANDRIA, March 9.
We have had information of the capture of capt. Sanford in the brig Hope, of this port, on his homeward passage from Barbadoes. His vessel and cargo were condemned at Gaudaloupe. One of the crew of his vessel has lately arrived at Norfolk, and states, that capt. Sanford and his men were put in irons, and confined with the British prisoners—that their daily allowance was half a pound of bread, a quarter of a pound of salt fish, with the requisite quantity of water to wash it down—and that after being fully republicanized by this fraternal regiment, he, with four other American masters were sent to Martinique, to be exchanged for as many French officers. "A confirmation," with a witness. "Of the principles from which the French will never depart, with regard to their good friends & allies, the people of the United States."

POST SCRIPT.
We stop the press in order to give the following important intelligence, taken from two Philadelphia papers of the 24th & 31st of March, with which we have just been favored:
EXECUTIVE DIRECTORY.
PUBLIC SITTING.
Mr. Munroe, minister plenipotentiary from the United States of America, communicated his letter of recal, which he had recently received. He expressed his attachment to France, to the revolution and his wishes for our glory. He added that the president of the United States had charged him expressly to repeat his assurance of the interest which the United States take in our republic, and of the wishes which they have for our welfare.
The answer of the president (Barras) is remarkable:
"On this day presenting your letters of recall," said Barras to Mr. Monroe, "you give to Europe a very strange spectacle."
"France, rich in her liberty, encompassed by her train of victories, strong in the esteem of her allies, will not abase herself by calculating the consequences of the condescension of the American government to the suggestions of its ancient masters."
"The French republic hopes, that at least the successors of Columbus and of Penn always jealous of their liberty, will never forget what they owe to France. They will weigh in their wisdom, the magnanimous good will of the French people, with the cares of certain perfidious persons, who meditate to bring them back to their former slavery. Assure, Sir, the good American people, that, like them, we adore liberty; that they shall always have our esteem; and that they will find in the French people, that republican generosity which knows how to grant peace as it knows how to make its sovereignty respected."
"As for you, Mr. Minister Plenipotentiary, you have contended for principles, you have known the true interests of your country; depart with our regret. We give up in you a representative to America, and we keep the remembrance of a citizen, whose personal qualities do honor to that title."
LONDON, February 4.
An express from Dover brought us last night the most important papers which have arrived for many weeks from Paris. They bring an account of a brilliant series of victories. We must refer to the short account of Buonaparte himself, and the more extended details of general Berthier, for the particulars of these important actions. The substance of them is, that Buonaparte has destroyed the fifth Austrian army in Italy! Five times has the emperor renewed this devoted army; in the last instance, every effort of determined magnanimity, and almost of exhausted despair, was exerted, to make vigorous movement for the deliverance of Mantua. He stripped all his frontiers, he called forth and animated the chivalrous spirit of Hungary; the youth of Vienna were roused by blandishments of the court, as well as their natural loyalty, to enter into volunteer battalions; and to hasten the expeditions, the recruits were mounted in Voitures, and dispatched by post. In short, the salvation of Mantua, was considered as the last stake of the emperor and king, and for this every thing was to be hazarded; for this the propositions of gen. Clarke were rejected; every offer of an armistice was refused, and we have seen from the late German Journals that they looked with perfect confidence to the success of their mighty preparations. What a lesson to sovereigns and to nations is the result of all this energy! What a dreadful responsibility must the cabinet incur, which, trusting to its own speculations, shuts its ears against the voice of peace!

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
SONG.
LOVE & nought but care, Sorrow and repentance, If the object's fair, Sooner comes your sentence. Round a pretty wife, Swarm your pretty fellows, She's set up for life, You're set down for jealous. Thus to married men, Knowledge to discover, School-boy like again, Gon their horn book over. Toddie-rol-de-rol. &c.
If no longer young, Madam's teeth are going, Still she has a tongue, Which you're sure of knowing, Morning, noon and night, Clatter, clatter, clatter, Tho' she cannot bite, Sweetly she can chatter. Charming honey moon! How they munch and mumble! Presto chang'd the tune, How they growl and grumble! Toddie-rol. &c.
Thus from pouting lips, Or from pouting temper, Madam often trips, Spouse would often bump her— Oh, what blissful state! When such doves are billing— Short indeed the date, Such delights are killing. So, my saucy song, If indeed no fib 'tis, Styles both old and young, Scilla or Charibdis. Toddie-rol, &c.
ANECDOTE.
A lady seeing the sheriff of the county, who was a very handsome young man, attending the judge, who was an old man; a gentleman standing by, asked her which she liked best, the judge or the sheriff? The lady told him the sheriff: "Why so?" said the gentleman. "Because," answered she, "though I love judgement well, I love execution better."

SIMEON BUFORD, AND OBED HANCOCK.
PEDIGREE.
ACTÆON's sire and dam, were full brother and sister, they were got by col. Dandridge's famous horse Fearnought, their dam was got by the old imported horse Fearnought, their granddam was got by old Jolly Roger, out of a fine mare, brought from England by the late col. John Chiswell.
PERFORMANCE.
ACTÆON run a match on the fifteenth day of September last with the great running horse, Bumpard, from Virginia, and beat him with ease two hundred yards in a four mile heat. Bumpard must have been in great order, as the party who bet on him, gave a distance, and bets were two to one against Actæon.
BUMPARD'S PERFORMANCE.
FROM A PRINTED ADVERTISEMENT. HE won a purse the fall he was three years old at New-Market, beating Mr. Adkin's Gray, Mr. Worsham's Medley, Mr. Jone's Flinnap, Dr. Dickinson's Nutcracker, &c. The fall he was four years old, he run for a purse at New-Market, against Col. Ash's Roe-buck, Bellair, &c. Roe-buck won the first heat, Bellair the second, and distanced all the horses that started except Bumpard; he started for the third heat, and run up within twelve feet of Bellair. Eight days from that time he run at Cabbins Point, and distanced the field. The fall he was five years old he run a match two miles, and won it with ease; and the fall he was seven years old ACTÆON BEAT HIM as above.
NOTICE, to those whom it may concern—That whereas I have purchased of Richard Chinnoweth of Jefferson county, an arbitration bond on Col. Wm. Fleming of Virginia, and have given him in exchange, my due-bill for fifty-six pounds in merchandise; but have been credibly informed since, that there is a deception in the bond, this is to forewarn any person from trading for or taking an assignment on the said due-bill, as I am determined not to discharge it until I hear to the contrary.
