PHILADELPHIA, December 13.
From good authority we learn, that Mr. Jay has made application to the government of France for permission to communicate directly with our minister in Paris by means of a packet that should enjoy the usual privileges of vessels employed by diplomatic characters, of not being liable to search or examination. This demand is thought by some to be indicative of a desire in the British court of commencing a peace negotiation with the French, in which Mr. Jay should be the mediator. This idea was some time since held out in the English press, and the circumstance above related appears to give it weight.
A letter from Paris says, "Mr. Monroe has already taken up the subject of American claims, and the very important one of the present state of commerce between the two countries which has and does continue to derogate from some of the articles of treaty of commerce and amity, submitting between them. I am in hopes soon of being able to inform you of Mr. Monroe's complete success."
The public creditors of France, who formerly amounted to 260,000 are reduced to 90,000, whether this reduction is in consequence of payments to the creditors, or of their emigration, or of other arrangements, we are not informed.
We believe we may depend on the information, that since the emancipation of the slaves in Hispaniola, the plantations are more productive, than when the blacks were slaves. We should be apprehensive that our wishes on this point might mislead the judgment, and be mistaken for facts: but representations of this tenor come from different sources, and we have no doubt of the truth of them. The French in this particular, will be the first nation to prove in the great scale, a truth long felt by Philosophers; and one the most important to society; that slavery is the enemy of industry, and repugnant to private interest, as well as to moral justice and humanity.
The eruptions of Mount Vesuvius have ceased, but from the foot of the mountain, there has issued a stream of boiling brackish water, that has destroyed three villages. The people as usual continue to implore for divine assistance.
Lexington, February 7.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia to his friend in the country, dated December 2
Congress and the people out of doors have been much agitated for a week or ten days past, by a violent attempt to get the House of Representatives to join in denouncing the Democratic Societies, by charging them because they have had the hardness to blame some of the measures of government, of being the inciters or encouragers of the whiskey boys; a charge in my opinion as groundless, as the design of it is unfriendly to liberty; for it is well known that the opposition to the excise law in the western counties of Pennsylvania, has been uniform ever since the existence of the law; whereas Democratic Societies are of a much later date. It is likewise a well known fact, that most of the Democratic Societies, as soon as they heard of the violent opposition those people made to the execution of the law, entered into resolutions pointedly disapproving their conduct; and I firmly believe, were the muster rolls of the army, which has turned out against them to be printed, that more members of Democratic Societies in proportion to their numbers would be found upon the lists, than of any class of citizens; which establishes as an incontrovertible truth, that as by their former proceedings they have shewn themselves enemies to
bad measures; so in this affair they have proved themselves friends to good order; and the attempt of the party to throw the odium of their own unpopular measures upon their opposers, who think that in a government like ours, some attention ought to be paid to the opinions, and even to the prejudices of the people, is too barefaced to impose upon the enlightened republicans of this country.
** An address to the people, by Tyrannocius, was postponed, to give place to the proceedings respecting a road to Virginia, but shall appear in our next.
STATE of KENTUCKY. IN GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
WHEREAS it appears to this General Assembly, that the Commissioner, who, by a letter from the secretary of state of the United States, to the governor of this state, which letter has been laid by him before this Assembly was to have been sent to give to the executive and legislature of this state information respecting the pending negotiation with Spain, relative to the navigation of the river Mississippi, has not arrived, and probably will not during this session of Assembly,
Resolved, that the senators in Congress be and they are hereby instructed to require information of the steps which have been taken to obtain the navigation of the river Mississippi, and to transmit such information to the executive of this state.
Resolved, that the senators and representatives of this state in Congress be and they are hereby instructed to use their endeavors to obtain a repeal of the law imposing a duty on spirits distilled from home materials.
Whereas it appears to this General Assembly, that it is not only essential to the honor and dignity of the General Government, but also to the particular safety of this State, that the Western posts now withheld by the British government contrary to solemn treaty, should be surrendered to the United States.—Resolved that the Senators of this state in Congress be and they are hereby instructed if it should not be already obtained; to endeavor to obtain the surrender of those posts.
Resolved, that we consider it a duty which we owe to ourselves and constituents to pursue such
measures as may have a tendency to preserve mutual harmony, confidence and good will between the citizens of this state and the other component parts of the general government. And to give assurance of our willingness to co-operate with the general government in every constitutional effort for obtaining and securing to the citizens of this and the other states, their several rights and privileges, and should the peaceable measures pursued by Congress for the attainment of the western posts and navigation of the Mississippi fail of success, we consider it the duty of the Kentucky people to use every necessary exertion on their part in concert with and to render effectual any other measures which may be adopted by the general government for obtaining those interesting objects.
Resolved, that the governor be and he is hereby requested to transmit the foregoing resolutions to the senators and representatives from this state in Congress.
Approved December 20, 1794. ***** I have a handsome assortment of DRY GOODS,
Of excellent quality, which I will dispose of upon a very reduced price by whole sale, otherwise will vendue them, near the court house, on Tuesday the 10th of February, being Court day.
