PROPOSALS For Publishing by subscription, A NEAT EDITION OF THE KENTUCKY LAWS.
IT is proposed, that this edition shall contain only the Laws that are of a general nature, and will consist of the laws lately revised, and to be revised; there will be no more given of local or private laws, than their titles and time of passage. From the best calculations, it will extend to about six hundred pages.
CONDITIONS. I. This work will be printed in two Numbers, large Octavo, with a neat letter, on good paper, and bound in boards. The first Number to contain all the laws of a General Nature already revised. II. The price to Subscribers will be Three Dollars; one half to be paid at the time of subscribing, and the balance on the delivery of the Second Number. III. The work will be put to press as soon as five hundred copies are subscribed for, and the first Number completed with all possible dispatch; the second will be delayed until the revival is finished. IV. If the laws do not exceed five hundred Pages, there will be added an appendix, containing an Abstract of the Duties of a Justice of the Peace, taken from the most Approved Authors, with the different forms of process in that office; as well as the most useful forms of conveyancing, &c. There will also be added, a copious index, whereby any article may be easily found by inspection; and the Constitution of this State and the United States will be presumed. V. Those who subscribe for twelve copies shall have one extra.
As the form in which the Acts of Assembly have been printed, renders them not only unhandy to carry about, but also more liable to injury and therefore less durable; and as it is probable that the general laws will hereafter remain a considerable length of time with little or no alteration; it is the object of this work to remedy those evils, by furnishing them in a portable form, and of durable materials. JOHN BRADFORD.

Confidential message from the president of the United States, inclosing sundry documents from the departments of state and war, relative to the intercourse of the United States with foreign nations.
Gentlemen of the Senate, and gentlemen of the House of Representatives
THE whole of the intelligence which has for some time past been received from abroad, the correspondences between this government and the ministers of the belligerent powers residing here, and the advices from the officers of the United States, civil and military, upon the frontiers, all conspire to shew in a very strong light, the critical situation of our country. That Congress might be enabled to form a more perfect judgment of it, and of the measures necessary to be taken, I have directed the proper officers to prepare such collections of extracts from the public correspondences as might afford the clearest information. The reports made to me, from the secretary of state, and the secretary at war, with a collection of documents from each of them, are now communicated to both houses of congress. I have desired that the message, reports and documents may be considered as confidential, merely that the members of both houses of congress may be apprised of their contents, before they should be made public. As soon as the houses shall have heard them, I shall submit to their discretion, the publication of the whole, or any such parts of them as they shall judge necessary or expedient for the public good.
JOHN ADAMS.
UNITED STATES, July 3d 1797.
Additional report of the secretary of state, to the president of the United States, of the proceedings of the officers of his Catholic Majesty, in relation to the posts occupied by his troops, within the limits of the United States, the boundary line, and other matters therein connected.
On Thursday last, the 29th of June, I received further dispatches from Andrew Ellicott, esq. the commissioner of the United States at the Natchez, dated the 10th of May last, of which an extract and copies, numbered one, two and three, are subjoined. By these it appears, that a new motive has been assigned by the commander in chief, the Baron de Carondelet, and governor Gayoso, for still retaining the possession of the posts of the Natchez and the Walnut Hills, and for strengthening the fortifications: viz. To guard against an attack by the British from Canada. This motive being derived from information communicated to the Baron de Carondelet by the Chevalier de Yrujo, the minister of his Catholic majesty to the United States, it appears necessary again to bring before the president my correspondence with the Spanish and British ministers on that subject. These papers are numbered 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
Although the minister declared he had just reasons for suspecting an expedition from Canada, was preparing by the British against the upper posts of Louisiana, yet he never mentioned a single fact or reason on which his suspicion was founded. From all the existing circumstances, I ever believed the suspicion to be groundless. — And the note of Mr. Litton, the British minister, of the 19th of the last month, declares that no such expedition has been or is intended by the British government.
On the 16th of March last, by the president's direction, I enquired of the minister of his Catholic majesty whether the Spanish troops had been withdrawn, agreeably to the treaty, from the territory of the United States; and if not what orders or measures for withdrawing them had been taken. To this the minister answered on the 17th of April, that not having for some months heard from the Baron de Carondelet, he was "deprived of any information touching the steps taken for the execution of the treaty." Nevertheless, he had previously informed the Baron de Carondelet of his suspicions of a projected expedition from Canada; for on the first day of May it is offered by governor Gayoso, as a new reason for continuing to hold the posts. These two letters are numbered 10, 11.
On the 24th of June last, the minister of his Catholic majesty wrote me the letter number 12, in which he un-
dertakes to give the substance of two letters from the Baron de Carondelet, and which about a week before he had orally translated to me from the Spanish originals. These letters (as appears by the detail of them now given by the minister) exhibited divers complaints against Mr. Ellicott, whose conduct is assigned as the cause of an alleged misunderstanding between him and governor Gayoso; and the delay in commencing the running of the boundary line.
One article, however, the minister has omitted in his recital. The Baron de Carondelet complained, among other things, that Mr. Ellicott had not given him notice of his arrival at the Natchez, as the commissioner on the part of the United States, for running the boundary line between their territories and those of Spain. I was astonished at this complaint, as I had then lying on my table a copy of Mr. Ellicott's letter to the Baron, dated the 27th of February, only three days after Mr. Ellicott's arrival at the Natchez, announcing his arrival as commissioner of the United States for the object above expressed, and two copies of the Baron's answer, dated at New Orleans, the first of March; one of the original Spanish, and the other a translation in English, acknowledging the receipt of Mr. Ellicott's letter, and "congratulating him on his arrival in that country in the character of commissioner on the part of the United States, to run the dividing line between the territories of his most Catholic majesty and the United States." I immediately presented these copies to the minister, in whom the repugnance of fact to assertion excited the natural sensation; but soon recollecting himself, he made this apology for the Baron, that he supposed he did not consider Mr. Ellicott's letter as official! This letter and the translation of the Baron's answer, have been already laid before congress and published: I now subjoin the copy of the Baron's answer in Spanish. No. 13.
The facts I have here stated, relative to the complaint of the Baron de Carondelet, which the Spanish minister has omitted in his detail, appeared to me important to be laid before you, to be considered together with the other complaints which the minister has recited. As to the complaint that Mr. Ellicott "attempted to get possession of the Natchez fort by surprise, and that the governor Gayoso, has in his power documents which evidently prove the intention of that attempt," I have examined the two gentlemen who have brought Mr. Ellicott's dispatches, and they declare that they never heard of such an attempt being made or intended by Mr. Ellicott; and that far from exciting dissatisfaction to the Spanish government, in the minds of the inhabitants at the Natchez, he uniformly recommended patience and submission, until the Spanish jurisdiction should be withdrawn.
Upon a view of the whole correspondence now and before submitted to the president, it appears that the governors of his Catholic majesty, on the Mississippi, have, on various pretences, postponed the running of the boundary line, and the withdrawing of his troops from the posts they occupied within the territory of the United States: that after repeated overtures, promises and appearances of commencing the execution of the treaty between the two nations, in both those respects, their conduct demonstrates, that for an indefinite period, they mean to avoid doing either: that there is but too much reason to believe Mr. Ellicott's suspicions well founded, that an undue influence has been exercised over the Indians by his Catholic majesty, to prepare them for a rupture with the United States; those suspicions corresponding with other intelligence recently received by the secretary of war, and by me. Mine is by a private letter from col. Sargent, the secretary of the territory North-West of the river Ohio, of which an extract, No. 14, is annexed.
Whether this plan of exciting the Indians to direct hostilities against the U. States, has been contemplated and promoted by any of our own citizens, it may be difficult to say; but that one or more of those citizens have proposed and taken measures to detach the southern Indians from the interests of the United States, and to destroy the influence of the public agents over
those nations, and thus to defeat the great objects of their appointment, the chief of which is to preserve peace is certain. The evidence of this important fact will be laid before you by the secretary of war. That evidence having a reference to the British Minister, and his government, I took the liberty of addressing to him a letter, dated the 1st instant, (No. 15,) to which I received the answer No. 16.
As closely connected with this business I lay before you the copy of my letter, No. 17, dated the 27th of April last, to Charles Jackson, Esquire, the District Attorney of Georgia, reciting a passage in a letter from the Spanish Minister dated the 21st of April, declaring his positive knowledge that the English had made propositions to General Clarke, of Georgia, to obtain his influence in that state, in conjunction with some persons who might make a diversion or serious attack against Florida. By Mr. Jackson's answer from which an extract No. 18, is herewith presented, it appears that after diligent enquiry, he could not find any person that knew any thing of the business, or that entertained a belief of the kind; and that from General Clarke's known violent antipathies to the English, and other circumstances, he doubted the truth of the report altogether.
On the 30th ult. I received a letter from General Pinckney, dated the 9th of May, which contains the latest intelligence from him, and seems proper to accompany the other papers now laid before you. His letter No. 15, therein referred to, has not yet come to hand.
All which is respectfully submitted. TIMOTHY PICKERING, DEPARTMENT OF STATE, July 3d, 1797.
PHILADELPHIA, July 6. The subject of the last confidential message, upon which Mr. Sitgreaves reported, was declared to be of a nature proper to be made public. It is of very serious import; the whole of the particulars we have not been able to learn, but we shall state such as have come to our knowledge, and such as will shew to our readers, that a very extraordinary correspondence has lately been carried on between William Blount, a senator from the new state of Tennessee, and the British minister resident here. The following is the copy of a letter from William Blount, to a person of the name of Carey, an Indian interpreter, which, together with other particulars, were on Monday laid before both houses of Congress by the president of the United States:
Colonel King's Iron works, April 21st, 1797.
DEAR CAREY, I wished to have seen you, before I returned to Philadelphia; but I am obliged to return to the session of congress, which commences on the 15th May.
Among other things that I wished to have seen you about, was the business captain Chisholm mentioned to the British minister last winter at Philadelphia.
I believe, but am not quite sure, that the plan then talked of will be attempted this fall; and if it is attempted, it will be in a much larger way than then talked of; and if the Indians act their part, I have no doubt but it will succeed. A man of consequence has gone to England about the business, and if he makes arrangements as he expects, I shall myself have a hand in the business, and probably shall be at the head of the business on the part of the British. You are, however, to understand that it is not yet quite certain, that the plan will be attempted; yet you will do well to keep things in a proper train for action, in case it should be attempted, and to do so will require all your management. I say will require all your management, because you must take care, in whatever you say to Rogers, or any body else, not to let the plan be discovered by Hawkins, Dinsmoor, Byers, or any other person in the interest of the United States nor Spain.
If I attempt this plan, I shall expect to have you and all my Indian Country and Indian friends with me, but you are now in good business I hope, and you are not to risk the loss of it by any thing that will hurt you until you again hear from me. Where Capt. Chisholm is I do not know, I left him in
Philadelphia in March, and he frequently visited the minister, and spoke upon the subject but I believe he will go into the Creek nation by way of S. Carolina or Georgia. He gave out he was going to England, but I did not believe him—Among things that you may safely do will be to keep up my consequence with Watts and the Creeks & Cherokees generally, & you must by no means lay any thing in favor of Hawkins; but as often as you can with safety to yourself, you may reach the Creeks to believe he is no better than he should be. Any power or consequence he gets, will be against our plan. Perhaps Rogers, who has no office to lose, is the best man to give out talks against Hawkins. Read the letter to Rogers, and if you think it best to send it to him, put a wafer in it, and forward it to him by a safe hand, or perhaps you had best send for him to come to you, and speak to him yourself respecting the state and prospect of things.
I have advised you in whatever you do to take care of yourself; I have now to tell you to take care of me too, for a discovery of the plan would prevent the success, and much injure all the parties concerned. It may be that the commissioners may not run the line, as the Indians expect or will, and in that case it is probable the Indians may be taught to blame me for making the treaty.
To such complaints against me, if such there are, it may be said by my friends at proper times and places that Doublehead confirmed the treaty with the president, at Philadelphia, and received as much as 5000 dollars a year, to be paid to the nation over and above the first price; indeed it may with truth be said, that though I made the treaty, that I made it by all the instructions of the president; and in fact it may with truth be said, that I was by the president instructed to purchase much more land than the Indians would agree to sell. This sort of talk will be throwing all the blame off me upon the late president, and as he is now out of office, it will be of no consequence how much the Indians blame him. And among other things that may be said for me, is, that I was not at the running of the line, and that if I had been, it would have been run more to their satisfaction. In short, you understand the subject, and must take care to give out the proper talks to keep up my consequence with the Creeks and Cherokees. Cant Rogers contrive to get the Creeks to desire the president to take Hawkins out of the nation, for if he stays in the Creek nation, and gets the good will of the nation, he can and will do great injury to our plan—when you have read this letter over three times, then burn it. I shall be at Knoxville in July or August, when I will send for Watts and give him the whiskey I promised him. I am, &c.
WILLIAM BLOUNT.
We are informed, that, in consequence of the above letter's coming into the hands of the President (in what way we do not at present know) application was made to the British Minister, for information on the subject. He at first declined giving any, professing ignorance of the affair; but we understand he has since acknowledged that application was made to him by several persons last winter on this business; that he had laid their plan (a plan, it is supposed, for invading the Spanish territory from Canada, aided by men enlisted within the United States, and by the Indians) before his government, but that it had declined having any thing to do with the business. As the British minister considers the affair as a delicate one, he declines giving up the names of the persons concerned. We trust, however, a little time will discover them.
July 7 Extract of a letter from General S— dated Baltimore, 4th of July, 1797, to a Member of Congress.
Captain Sanger 12 days from Port-de-Paix, arrived last night, says, that Santhonax has ordered all captures and condemnation of American property to cease, in consequence as was reported of orders from France. He adds that two or three American vessels lately taken and liberated in consequence. Captain Sanger is a very respectable man, and says I may rely on the truth of his account.

LEXINGTON:
Wednesday, July 26.
By the latest accounts from England it appears, that the mutiny in the fleet had not subsided on the 15th of May; but appeared to increase. That the disturbances in Ireland increased daily, and that there was every prospect of a revolution.
Yesterday a person arrived in this town with some dispatches from Mr. Ellicott,—they were put into the hands of the post-master with directions to have them forwarded to the executive with all possible speed.—We are sorry in not having in our power to lay before our readers, anything relating to this business, as, doubtless, it must be of consequence to the Western Country. [Herald.]
Yesterday morning Mr. Blount, (says a Philadelphia paper, of July 6,) had chartered a pilot boat, for the purpose of effecting his escape to Octorock Bar, in N. Carolina.—He was already on board with his baggage, &c. but owing to some difficulty in procuring a clearance for the vessel at the custom house, he was traced by the officers of justice, who, however, not immediately recognizing his person, suffered him to escape.—He has not since been heard of.
Extract of a letter from an American gentleman in Liverpool, to his friend in Newburyport, dated 15th May.
“Every politician, (who is not a ministerialist) foretells a revolution in the English government. There are reports here, that we (the Americans) shall have a French war.”

AN EATING SONG.
"What a charming thing is a dinner."
CHEAR up, Gluttons, fill your bellies, Gormandize whole pounds of meat; Never piddle o'er your jellies, But substantial viands eat.
Ev'ry waiter quick unbutton, See the enemies advance! Charge the turkey, beef and mutton, Point the culinary lance.
Brandish, boys, your knives and forks all, As you would in war the spear; Bloat your paunches like a foot-ball, Eat in grease from ear to ear.
Still let us abhor the motto, "Paucos Vesco"—Jamping words! But good roast beef, piping hot, O! Spread in plenty o'er our boards.
See the surloin richly smoking, Mark the gravy how it springs! Malcontents, forbear your croaking, By the gods, we feast like kings.
Come, dexterity exert now, Deep incisions make with speed! Wipe your chops, look quite alert now, Wait on such strong fare we feed.
Lord! how hot the battle rages! Conquest deloliates the plain: What, our appetites alluages! Let us drink—and eat again.
From the store house—brisk and mellow, See the brown October fly— Through our spacious hall we'll bellow, "Here's success to Liberty!"
While we're gorging without measure, Hear our greasy chairman cry— Eating is sumptuous pleasure, "Will't we eat—we'll never die!"
ANECDOLE.
Doctor Graham being on his stage in a country town, in order to promote the sale of his medicines, told the country people, that he had come there for the good of the people, and not for want.
