A large Company will meet at the Crab orchard on the 10th in order to start through the wilder- ness on the 11th of March.
ON the morning of the 14th of October last was found in a camp of Moses Morgan, (a noted horse thief,) a dark brown horse, (with other stolen goods upon him) about 14 hands and a half high, paces and trots, 7 years old, branded on the off shoulder, the brand not known; what; the owner by applying to the subscriber in Mer- cer county near Harrodsburg, pro- ving his property and paying char- ges may take him away.

Road to Virginia.
THE committee of correspon- dence on the subject of a new road, think it necessary on the ap- proach of the time appointed for the meeting of a general commit- tee, to remind the public, that it is proposed to hold the said meet- ing at Love & Brent's tavern, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon on the second Wednesday in March.
The intelligence which the cor- responding committee have receiv- ed from different parts of the country, affords them the most pleasing hopes of the success of the scheme. At the same time they cannot too strongly urge the friends of the undertaking to use their most active and speedy exertions in providing the means of carrying it into execution. The season is advancing: it will not be easy to procure a second meeting of gentlemen from different parts of the state: so that a few days procrastination on the part of the individuals to whom the business is confided may prove fatal to the accomplishment of this great nation- al object.
They must, therefore, intreat every gentleman who has a sub- scription paper or who is authori- sed to act for subscribers, to at- tend at Lexington, on the 11th of next month, or at least to make a point of forwarding his list of sub- scribers in time to be laid before the general committee.

LONDON, October 14.
The invention of a machine with a perpetual motion, has long been considered as an object of the greatest importance; and many men, eminent for their abilities, have bestowed much time and experience in endeavoring to find out the hidden principles of this machine. A mason in Arbroth, at a very early period in life, began to study this branch of mechanism, and now, after thirty six years of almost constant application, his endeavors have proved successful. He has finished a machine, in principle and construction, quite different from any other hitherto produced. It is almost entirely composed of metal, has neither pendulum nor spring to actuate its motion, but moves merely by its own pressure. This mobile has performed a regular movement for some time past, and from the simplicity of its construction, and the principles by which it is regulated, there is little reason to doubt but that it will go for ages.
WINDSOR, (Vermont) Dec. 8.
Mr. Parker, of Claramont, has constructed a machine, which is now employed in his fulling mill in that town, which will compleatly shear thirty yards of cloth in one hour. This machine may be viewed at any time by the curious, without the expence of purchasing a patent right for its construction.
NEW-YORK, January 3.
The appointment of Mr. Pinkney an envoy extraordinary to the court of Spain, having given rise to a report that Mr. Jay is to remain our minister in London—a report probably raised and circulated by some person who wants a high office for himself or friend; a report raised on mere implication, and one that has no just foundation; it is proper to lay before the public, the official nomination of Mr. Pinkney, by the President.
United States,
November 21st, 1794.
Gentlemen of the senate,
In the negotiations between the United States and his Catholic majesty, I have received satisfactory proofs of attention and ability, exerted in behalf of the United States to bring it to a happy & speedy issue. But it is probable that by complying with an intimation, made to the secretary of state, by the commissioners of his Catholic majesty, much further delay in concluding it may be prevented. Notwithstanding, therefore, I retain full confidence in our minister resident at Madrid, who is charged with powers as commissioner plenipotentiary. I nominate THOMAS PINCKNEY, to be envoy extraordinary of the United States, to his Catholic majesty, for the purpose of negotiating of and concerning the navigation of the river Mississippi, and such other matters relative to the confines of the territories, and the intercourse to be had thereon, as the mutual interests and general harmony of neighbouring and friendly nations require, should be precisely adjusted and regulated, and of and concerning the general commerce between the said United States, and the kingdom and dominions of his said Catholic majesty.
It is believed that by his temporary absence from London, in the discharge of these new functions, no injury will arise to the United States

INDIAN NEWS!
About the 8th of February, two hunters, who had continued longer out than was expected, their friends went in search of them, and near the mouth of the Scioto, found one of them cut to pieces in an inhuman manner; the other is supposed to have been taken prisoner!
By a gentleman just from Louisville, we learn, that information had been given by two men just from St. Vincents, of 250 Indian warriors of the Shawanee and Delaware tribes, having taken the field; we may therefore expect shortly to hear of their being on some part of our frontiers!
Copy of the libel, for the publication of which the Rev. Dennis Driscoll, editor of the Cork Gazette, has been sentenced to two years imprisonment:
TRUTHS.
A king should have no influence on the senate.
Every man who contributes to the support of the state, ought to have a voice for a delegate.
No representative of the people should have a place or a pension.
Every one who pretends to be a representative and at the same time holds a place or pension, is a knave and traitor to his country.
No laws can be binding on the people which are not made by their representatives.
Every partial law is an act of tyranny, and should be opposed by every man.
One man is not bound, by the laws of reason and justice, to contribute to the support of another, if he does not will it.
To deprive a man of the tenth part of his labor and industry (meaning thereby tithes, by law payable to the clergy of the church of Ireland, as by law established) without a recompence, is an egregious act of robbery, and subversive of the rights of man.
No man can be honest, who avails himself of an unjust law, and enjoys what natural justice tells he has no right to.
Every intended obstacle to the propagation of truth and political knowledge, is high treason against the sovereign people, and deserves exemplary punishment.
The oppressions of the people arise from the unconsciousness of their own power and strength.
Man cannot be enslaved but by a greater slave.
He who traffics in his fellow-creatures is worse than a sheep-stealer or a robber.
The earth is the common inheritance of all men.
Every man has a right to a proportionate share of the country he lives in.
He who possesses a greater share of the land he lives in than another, is a monopolist, and an usurper of the rights of his fellow-creatures.
Review of some Events of the year 1794.
(Continued from No. XXIII.) A very destructive eruption of Mount Vesuvius happened this year; and an earthquake, in Asia Minor, in which 90,000 souls perished.
The Algerine cruizers captured a number of American vessels, and carried the crews into slavery. The British also, acting under the or-
ders of their government, captured a great many more, condemned the vessels and cargoes in many instances, and sometimes impressed the American seamen, and forced them to serve on board the British ships. These spoliations occasioned the laying of an embargo, and the appointment of Mr. Jay Ambassador Extraordinary, to obtain redress of grievances.
In the East Indies the French privateers reigned almost without controul, and preyed at will on the trade of England.
In the West Indies the war was carried on with various fortune, while the French displayed in several instances, prodigies of valour and patriotism. The liberation of the slaves in the French islands by the memorable decree of the National Convention, introduced an important change in the condition of about a million of human beings and their offspring.
In the United States considerable progress was made in the introduction, restoration and establishment of security, peace and order. An encroachment on the territory of the Creeks in Georgia was reduced, and two officers were tried by courts martial for supposed aggressions on two parties of Indians of the same nation: the combined army of the savages was defeated under the walls of a British fort by the army under Gen. Wayne. A body of 600 men, from Kentucky, the Cumberland settlements, and those on the waters of the Tennessee, destroyed two of the lower Cherokee towns, and killed upwards of fifty savages; but in the course of the year the Indians murdered about 100 of the inhabitants of the South Western territory.
The insurrection in the Western counties of Pennsylvania was entirely suppressed without bloodshed; by an army of about 15,000 men, called to that service by the President, and put under the command of Henry Lee, governor of Virginia. A great part of them offered their services voluntarily, and the whole acquitted themselves so as to receive the unanimous thanks of the House of Representatives in Congress, and of the legislatures of Virginia, Pennsylvania, New-Jersey and Maryland. A general pardon was proclaimed by governor Lee, the commander in chief, with the exception of about thirty persons, one of whom, Bradford, a ring leader, had fled to Kentucky. The governors of Pennsylvania and Jersey, and the secretary of the treasury, attended the expedition. The President himself went as far as Carlisle, the place of general rendezvous.
During the year several harbors of the United States were fortified by the voluntary labor of the militia. At Charleston (S.C.) a fort was built and presented to the government by the mechanical society. The building of six frigates for the protection of our trade against the African pirates, was undertaken and considerably advanced; this may be reckoned the commencement of the federal navy.
Telegraphe.
The invention of the telegraphe does not belong alone to the French. About ten years ago, Count Possini, at Rome, invented a mode of getting intelligence from Naples in the course of an hour. The lottery at Rome, depends upon the drawing at Naples. It differs from our lottery materially, for there are but six prizes, and these
are the first six numbers drawn, and the remainder are all blanks. The Count, whose house is on an eminence near Rome, managed with his confederates, who were placed at a certain distance between Naples and his estate, to have sky rockets let off, by which they had previously fixed with each other, to ascertain by such signals any particular number or numbers drawn: the plan succeeded, as tickets continued to be sold at Rome, for several hours after the drawing commenced at Naples, the account of which was always brought by the ordinary courier. By this scheme the party got about 100,000 crowns, and the plot probably never would have been discovered had not the Count purchased the whole of the six prizes, which caused suspicion, and of course excited enquiry.

Kentucky ss. Simon Kenton Compt.
Against Alex. M c Connell & } Defendants. Francis Keen, } In Chancery.
(Concluded from our last.)
AS I cannot accord with the court in its decision on this cause, the constitution imposes on me the painful task of delivering my opinion separately to be entered on record.
On the first question stated by the court, I am of opinion, that it does not appear from the face of the complainant's certificate that it was illegally granted; but that on account of the residence therein specified, he was entitled by law to a settlement and preemption of any unappropriated land he chose to locate with the commissioners. That the reasons on which I found this opinion may be the better understood, I shall concisely recite what I conceive to be the substance of the law relative to this point. The act of Assembly which ascertains who shall be entitled to claim, settlement and preemption rights on the western waters, first allows to every person who prior to the year 1778 had settled on any unappropriated land, a settlement right of four hundred acres to include the place on which he had then settled.
Secondly. This act also allows to each of those, who for greater safety, had settled together in that country in villages or townships prior to the said year, a settlement right of the like quantity of any unappropriated land which they should choose, or to which no other person had, previously to such choice being made, become entitled under this act. The first of these classes are commonly styled actual settlers & the second class villagers. To both these classes under the general epithets of settlers, the act further goes on to allow preemptions of 1000 acres adjoining to their respective settlements. And then as the act expresses it 'To prevent doubts concerning settlements,' or in other words, to specify who were the real and bona fide settlers intended, it declares that no family shall be entitled to the allowance therein granted to settlers, unless they had made a crop of corn in the western country, or resided there at least one year since the time of their settlement.
On the construction of this declaration, the difference in opinion arises. The court considers the first clause of this declaration as evidently and necessarily referring to the second class of settlers only; who as the act expresses it 'Have for their greater safety settled themselves in villages or townships under some agreement to divide the same into town lots, and have from present necessity cultivated a piece of ground adjoining thereto in common.' But it seems to me that the expressions 'Town lots' and 'Cultivated a piece of ground in common' do not concern the present question, but were only used for the collateral purpose of introducing that part of the enacting clause which immediately follows, which secures to the inhabitants of such villages or townships the occupancy thereof until the necessity which drove them thither should cease. This incidental case being thus provided, the enacting clause further goes on to grant a settlement right to such a settler in a village or township in consideration of their settlement, and not in consideration of cultivating a piece of ground, or raising a crop of corn. I also remark that the word settlers is repeatedly and uniformly used throughout this act to designate those to whom settlement rights were granted or to be granted; and more especially that the preamble to the first of the act which relates to settlements, specifies in express terms, that they
were to be granted as a compensation for their risque and expence incurred by those who had settled in the Western country. And from the reason of the case to me it seems very absurd to suppose that the legislature contemplated to tillers of the ground more than to those who followed other occupations equally beneficially to their fellow settlers. I further remark that cultivating a piece of ground and raising a crop of corn are not synonymous expressions, and it seems to me that giving the explanatory clause an allusion to what is not even previously expressed in the act, as making it encrease the doubts it was intended to prevent. But it also seems to me to be essential to the design of the declaratory or explanatory law or clause of a law, that it should be taken literally, and in the full extent of the expressions it contains, and never to mean more or less than is therein expressed. Therefore I am of opinion that both the alternative clauses of the declaration now under consideration do equally refer to both classes of settlers; and that nothing can justify the restricting the one clause to villagers and the other to actual settlers, but express and unequivocal words inserted in this declaration. I am confined to this opinion by the consideration that this act, so far as it relates to this question, evidently partakes of the nature of a grant, and therefore that every clause respecting the grant which will admit of two constructions, ought to be taken in that sense which is most against the interest of the Commonwealth, the grantor, and most for the interest of the claimants who are the grantees; and so this declaratory clause was taken by the court of commissioners, as it is evident from a great number of cases on its records. And I might further observe, that as the court of commissioners have thus indiscriminately applied both clauses of this declaration to both classes of settlers, it seems to me that a regard to the beneficial influence of uniformity in decision, forbid this court now to adopt a contrary construction, when the express and unequivocal words of the declaration does not render it indispensable.
On the second question I agree with the court in opinion, that if it appears on the face of the complainant's certificate it was granted contrary to law, this court ought to declare it void; if it also appears that the defendant has in any way a prior claim thereto under the law, the law and the reason of the case would then make it necessary for the court to declare the certificate void; or what is the same in effect, to give preference to the eldest legal claim. But it does not seem to me that either law, justice or public utility, require that the defendant M c Connell who had not specially appropriated the land when it was granted by the court of commissioners to the complainant, should be allowed to contest the validity of the grant either by virtue of a general vested right which he then had to locate vacant land, or by virtue of any location or survey which he has since made on the land; certain I am he could not in such a general right have with propriety been admitted to contest the complainant's grant before the court of commissioners, as the defendant could not then have shown any special injury he would have suffered thereby; much less should he be permitted to contest it after it has received confirmation from the commonwealth by whose agents it was granted. I am of opinion that it can be of no consequence to determine whether the court of commissioners made this grant in a ministerial or judicial capacity; or whether the court acted under a limited or general jurisdiction. It might however be
observed that that court on deciding on settlement and preemption rights, were to be governed by such rules and principles of law and equity as were applicable, and ought to have been observed had that business been brought before the ordinary courts of law and equity; (without any exceptions only those which related to the summary mode in which that court was required to proceed) which was a power as unlimited as could have been given to any court by a free government; and gives the decisions and adjudications of the commissioners on settlement and preemption rights, all the validity and solemnity which the decisions of a court of the most general original jurisdiction only could possibly have. Therefore, it seems to me, that on general principles only, such proceedings of the court of commissioners can with propriety be revoked or corrected. But in this cause at least it seems to me to be sufficient, that it appears on the records of the court of commissioners not yet falsified or annulled, that a grant by them was made to the complainant, and of consequence that the land described in the grant was thereby appropriated. Locations of every description are equally confined by law to lands unappropriated by others at the time of making their locations. And it seems to me that this is the condition to which they are subjected by justice and public utility, as well as the law. For otherwise the commonwealth by the ignorance of its agents would without rendering an equivalent, derive large sums of money from the citizens, who had been guilty of no crime to subject them to such forfeitures; and it cannot be that public utility will be promoted by a doctrine contrary to the general apprehension of the claimants to land in this country, and which is not authorised by the existing decisions of any of its courts; and what is of higher consideration, which will authorise numberless contests for land not heretofore thought of.
On the third question I so far agree in opinion with the court, that he who comes into a court of justice, must make it appear he has done what is equitable, before he can receive equity. But I differ very materially from the court in the application of this principle. It is also a principle of law equally well established, that fraud shall not be imputed until it is proven to have been practiced. In this cause no fraud is charged or proven against the complainant in obtaining his certificate. If then it were so that he was entitled to a settlement right, it will only follow that his claim was made and granted under an innocent mistake of the law; or the fault ought solely to be imputed to the commonwealth and her agents the commissioners to whose decision, as evidently appears from the face of the certificate, the complainant fairly submitted the merits of his claim when he obtained from them the grant. And the complainant having proceeded thereon to do, and the commonwealth to receive what the law required to confirm it, I am of opinion that the complainant has complied with all the equity as if on the case could demand, and that he ought to hold this land under the grant which he has thus confirmed against the commonwealth; and of consequence against the defendants and every other individual of the commonwealth, who had not under the law, previously acquired a special claim thereto.
On the whole in as much as it appears to me that the certificate of the complainant is the oldest, that it has been legally obtained, and that the proceedings thereon so far as concerns his settlement, have also been legal; I am of opinion, that the decree of the court
should have been in his favour. CALEB WALLACE.
