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 prefixed.  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.

LONDON, May 16.
Several of the German papers bro't by yesterday's mail, affect to be acquainted with the precise terms of the preliminaries of peace. The Courier du Bas Rhin of the 6th instant, states that the following are generally believed to be among the terms:
His Imperial majesty is to renounce, forever, all alliance with England; and a new treaty is to be formed between the French republic, Spain, the Italian states and the house of Austria.
The Germanic empire is to preserve the status quo ante Bellum, according to the fundamental laws of the peace of Westphalia; the French republic is to take upon herself the guarantee of the status quo.
May 22. This morning arrived Paris papers to the 19th inst. They contain an important manifesto published by general Buonaparte against the Venetian government; and if the statements contained in it be correct, which we have no reason to disbelieve, there is not a man who detests cruelty that will not rejoice at any defeats or disasters which the aristocratic despotism of Venice may experience.
As soon as the government were acquainted with the manifesto of the French general, they became as humble in adversity, as they had been haughty and cruel in prosperity. The Doge immediately assembled the Senate, and it was resolved that the republic should throw herself upon the discretion of France, accept a provisional government, and deliver up to the French the proveditori, and other public functionaries complained of in the manifesto.
We know not whether this submission has been accepted by general Buonaparte; but it is said that the French troops have taken possession of the Venetian territories in the Terra Firma. Perlet's Journal of the 15th, states, but merely as a report, that on that day dispatches had reached the directory from the British minister, requesting passports for the purpose of again sending a negotiator to Paris.
PARIS, May 11.
It is said that Richery is about to sail from Brest with a squadron for the Mauritius, having commissioners from the directory on board, who are to execute the decree for emancipating the negroes.
Prince Charles, in his interview with Buonaparte, spoke to him with much cordiality, and acknowledged to him, that he had always disapproved of the war, as likely to be fatal to the house of Austria. He spoke of the retreat of Moreau and Jourdan in a manner to induce a belief, that it was produced by causes not yet known in France. It appears by his conversation, that the prince possesses political knowledge, of which the cabinet of Vienna will long repent that they did not avail themselves. He testified the highest esteem for Buonaparte--said to him, that France was happy in possessing such a man--and assured him that he should be proud of cultivating his friendship. Buonaparte replied to the compliments of the prince, with mixt frankness and dignity.
Private letters from Berlin contain the following details:
"The indisposition of the king of Prussia, becomes daily more and more alarming. He has lately been so ill that the news of his death has been circulated here; it would be difficult to predict what changes such an event might bring about in the politics of Europe. Frederick William is nothing in himself, but every thing in his ministers. The marquis de Lucheni is the one in whom he has the most confidence; and it is well known that this man is one of the greatest enemies to the house of Austria. The hereditary prince is a young man of promising talents and abilities. His politics, or rather those of his ministers, are said to be very different from those of his father. His Prussian majesty is to set out for Pyrmont, if he can bear the journey. With respect to his plans of aggrandizement at the expence of the empire, he dares not put them in ex-
ecution for fear of drawing on himself a war with Russia, which power would in such case, assume a peremptory tone."
MAY 18.
The moment that the Venetian government received information of Buonaparte's manifesto, the Doge summoned an extraordinary meeting of the Senate, in order to take into consideration the state of the Republic; and, with only five dissentient voices, it was decreed that the government should suspend all its functions; that the Republic should throw itself on the mercy of the French Republic, and also, that the Proveditori, and other magistrates of whose conduct France has reason to complain, should be given up, that they may be punished for the atrocities lately perpetrated against the French.
May 23. Accounts from Genoa of May 1, mention the arrival there of the cardinal Archbishop of Toledo, grand Inquisitor of Spain, the archbishop of Seville and another prelate, constituting a most splendid embassy to Rome. Their object is said to be to obtain from the court of Rome the total independence of Spain on the Papal power.
The recent advices said to be received from Ireland, bear the stamp of improbability in the face--possibly by this time the event of a revolution has taken place in that country from one end to the other, neither is it improbable that two French armies of 30,000 and 40,000 men may have before now made good a landing in two portions of the British dominions, and to be followed by a third; it is to be observed that after the Preliminaries had been ratified by Buonaparte, Hoche marched with his army to Holland.
VERONA, April 24.
Six hundred Slavonian troops have arrived, and more are hourly expected, to co-operate with the peasants.
The French army entered Verona this day. A deputation was sent to propose a capitulation. The result of the conference was, the capitulation of the town, the disarming of the insurgents, and the arrest of those who organized the massacre of the French. Three thousand slaves have become prisoners of war and will be marched to Milan.
GENOA, April 27.
The pleasure caused by the news of peace has been disturbed by the fear that the French, absolute masters of Italy, will not destroy nor reform the present system of government. We shall be able to form a judgment of their final intentions, by their conduct towards Venice.
We are assured that general Buonaparte has demanded of the court of Naples a strict execution of the secret articles of the treaty of peace, within three days; and that a refusal he will regard as hostility. Besides eight millions which the king of Naples engaged to pay, we are assured he has also promised to set at liberty all who have been imprisoned on account of their political opinions and to restore their effects which had been confiscated.
MILAN, April 29.
When the courier from Gen. Buonaparte arrived here on 22d in the evening the inhabitants were in their bed; but immediately rose to illuminate their houses. The commandant of the city repaired with torches to the Tree of Liberty, to celebrate the event with a FEU DE JOYE. The general cry was "Long live Buonaparte!" "Our fate," says the proclamation of the Milanese municipality, "was in the hands of the greatest hero of the age, and we are secure."
The French have laid a heavy contribution on Verona; they have also made 4000 prisoners, who will come here to-morrow.
PLYMOUTH, May 16.
The report in circulation last evening, which stated that the crews on board the fleet, in Hamoaze, had taken command of the ships, is a fact, and is said to be in consequence of letters received from the delegates of the ships at St. Helen's; they, however, behave in the most orderly man-
ner, and it is hoped will very shortly return to their duty, as it is understood here that the seamen on board Lord Bridport's fleet are perfectly satisfied.
May 20.
The disturbance which broke out among the seamen on board the fleet in Hamoaze on Monday last is not yet finally settled. The master of arms of the Leviathan, of 74 guns was yesterday very severely treated, and dismissed the ship in a most disgraceful and ignominious manner. Several officers from different ships are turned on shore; and one of the delegates from each ship sailed for St. Helen's on Thursday last, to confer with the delegates of Lord Bridport's fleet--Sun.
The municipality of Mantua have sent a deputation to the inhabitants of Bergamo, of Brescia and of Cremo to fraternize with them and unite in the common cause.
A proposition was made in the Senate of Venice, to establish a mixed government, composed of democracy and aristocracy, but rejected 495 voices out of 500.
BELFAST May 26.
At 4 o'clock on the evening of Tuesday the 23d instant lieutenant general Lake directed col. Barber and Mr. Fox, (town major) to proceed with as much expedition as possible, to the cotton manufactory of Robert Armstrong, on the Falls road, near Belfast. Arriving there, before two persons who were on the watch, could give an alarm caught a smith and his assistant forging pikes. On threatening them with immediate death they produced 16 pikes they had secreted in an adjacent house, newly forged. A detachment of Monaghan militia, and some yeomanry who followed were so much incensed at seeing those implements of destruction, that they smashed the forge, and levelled it to the ground. The pikes were hung round the villain, and marched prisoners to town. None of those weapons have been since discovered.
Yesterday, another blacksmith, James Adams, from island Magee, was brought in by a detachment of the artillery. Some of the pikes were stuck through his hat, and others hung about him.
On Tuesday and Wednesday last, 22 men confined as disorderly persons in the artillery barracks, were sent on board a tender in the Lough.
Arthur Adair, James Reed, Wm. Stuart, and John Riddle, likewise prisoners upon the same charges were admitted to bail.
On Tuesday John M'Clure was apprehended here, on a charge of high treason.
Yesterday Samuel Armstrong from Monaghan, and Thomas Donelly, from Enniskillen, were brought to town by a party of the 22d, light dragoons, and committed to the artillery barracks, charged with taking unlawful oaths, and being United Irishmen.
Last week ten carts, loaded with entrenching tools, arrived at the artillery barracks from the westward.
The account which we gave in a paper of last week, respecting the affair at Fockill, near Dundalk, has, we find, been since confirmed, with this difference, that 25 of the country people had been killed, and as many taken prisoners. The accounts of this affair differ considerably. The above we have reason to believe is the most authentic.
Six more regiments of light cavalry, are under orders from England and Scotland, for Ireland. Four are now embarking at Liverpool; and the princess of Wales, commanded by the earl of Darlington, and the Cinque Ports, by lord Hawksbury, are on their march from Edinburgh to Port Patrick.
The Derham fencibles and Dunbartonshire fencibles, now in Guernsey, and the Cheshire fencibles, Somersetshire fencibles, Suffolk fencibles, and Northumberland fencibles now in Jersey, are all under immediate orders of embarkation for Ireland.
CHARLESTON, (S. C.) July 6.
The following important intelligence was received from the Savannah, dated 26th June
About the beginning of May, the Baron de Carondelet dispatched a number of boats from New-Orleans, with troops, artillery and stores, for the fortification of the forts which had
been demolished shortly after Mr. Ellicott's arrival at the Natchez; upon which, Mr. Ellicott wrote to governor Gayoso, remonstrating against it, as an act of hostility against the United States.
In answer, Mr. Ellicott received a letter from Gayoso, informing him that he intended not only to fortify them, but to drive their troops from the Spanish territory.
An order has been issued at New-Orleans likewise, for all Americans, merchants and others, either to take the oath of allegiance to Spain, or to leave the place.
Yesterday we had an arrival here in 14 days from New-Orleans; the intelligence received, and privately talked of, is of importance. It is said that the American troops have been repulsed in an attempt to take the fort at Natchez by surprise, were driven off, but have again pitched their tent on an eminence out of the reach of the Spanish battery, and have their flag flying. The correspondence between Mr. Ellicott and governor Gayoso, has been lengthy, and to little purpose; the conduct of the former has been firm and open; of the latter evasive and dissembling.
It is said that the Americans have taken from the Spaniards, the fort of Iberville. Great are the preparations here for a rupture between the United States and Spain, and it is reduced to a certainty, that the Spaniards do not rely on their own prowess for their defence; they look to the French for protection, and it is a fact, that between 70 and 80,000 French, who have at different times, and under different pretences, arrived in the United States are now travelling into the western country, to a rendezvous they have fixed there, with the intent to defend the Mississippi for the Spaniards.
There are French papers now in circulation here, which announce the expectation of their obtaining Louisiana and the Floridas, by cession from Spain, and their determination to have Canada and the Western Country from the English and Americans.
BOSTON, July 19.
From France we have news to June 2d. about 20 days later than before received. It comes by an arrival at Salem from Bourdeaux. Its aspect is pacific.
Bonaparte is the sincere friend of La Fayette. General Pichegru is elected President of the council of five hundred, and Barthelémy a member of the executive directory. The moderate party has received great accessions in the late elections, Centinel
WALPOLL, (N. H.) July 27.
Extract of a letter to the Editor, from a gentleman in Vermont, dated Windsor, July 14th, 1797.
"Since the mail is closed we have received information from Canada that the two M'Leans, taken some time since, with one Butterfield, for treasonable practices, have been tried and executed. 'Tis said Butterfield turned "king's evidence," and has discovered an extensive plot against the province of Canada, in which are concerned a considerable number of the first men, on that side of the mountain, with the Governor at their head; with it, also, is connected the purchase of arms in France. This information comes in a letter from Col. Porter now in Canada.
PHILADELPHIA, July 24.
It is said that accounts are received by the Franklin from Bourdeaux, that the Marquis De La Fayette and his family had arrived at Paris.
July 25.
From a Correspondent.
We are informed that Governor Blount before he left this city, had a great number of circular letters printed to be sent on to the state of Tennessee. We are in possession of one of them; an exact copy we now present to the public.
Philadelphia, July 6th, 1797.
Sir.
The annexed is a copy of a letter [this is the letter to Carey published in all the newspapers] with which it seems Mr. Byers, of Tillico Blockhouse came express to this city, and delivered it about the 20th of June, to the President, with whom and his executive council, it remained until the 30th last, when it was laid by him before

both houses of congress, with other papers.
It is imputed to me, and has involved me in serious difficulties, the extent of which I cannot at present foresee. They will however be shortly detailed to you.
I ask you to examine it with attention and determine for yourself, if the contemplated plan, let whoever may be the author, had gone into effect, what would have been the result to the citizens of the Tennessee, whose good it has ever been and will be my happiness and duty to promote? ... [The citizens of the United States ought to enquire what would have been the result to the Union? Surely war with the most formidable powers in Europe.] I repeat, read and judge for yourselves, regardless of popular clamour, which its publication has raised in this city and other places, much to my injury. Shortly I will be in Tennessee, in the mean time believe me very respectfully.
Your obedient servant, WILLIAM BLOUNT.
July 26.
A gentleman arrived from Tennessee, met governor Blount six miles beyond Staunton; which being mentioned at that place, a number of its respectable inhabitants immediately mounted their horses with a determination to overtake and detain him.
PITTSBURGH, August 5.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the North of Ireland, to his friend in Washington county, dated 12th of May, 1797.
"Whilist we are bowed down to the earth under the iron rod of oppression exercised by the most diabolical tyranny that ever disgraced human nature, it is with particular satisfaction that I congratulate you living in a land of freedom, enjoying the blessings of peace.
"The province of Ulster is declared to be in a state of rebellion, and out of the king's peace, therefore subject to military law. And for what? Because men of every denomination have laid aside religious prejudices, and united as one man praying for a reform in parliament and dismissal of the present wicked administration, who have desolated and impoverished the country to carry on, as they say, a just and necessary war—this union has routed the placenters and pensioners around his majesty's throne, who are straining every nerve to drive us to distraction. An army of soldiers, by the name of Yeomanry, are stationed in every town, whose officers are commissioned and act as justices of the peace, a species of tyranny in direct opposition to the spirit of our much extolled constitution, blending the civil and military power in the same hands—therefore, if any person is even but suspected of being in favour of a reform, they are immediately dragged from their wives and families, sent on board tenders and prison ships, stationed on the coast for that purpose, others are chained in dungeons, there to linger in want and misery; emissaries, incendiaries, and hirelings are sent out in nightly patrols to rob and plunder the country, and at the same time stigmatize the United Irishmen with these enormities, a number of whom have been tried and acquitted at the last sessions, after every invention to have them convicted; recourse was had to perjury, bribery, &c. their proceedings and oath of union was produced in evidence, but after the strictest scrutiny nothing appeared in them either against king or constitution; the tyrants are so disappointed that they seem determined not to try any more in a legal way, but condemn them unheard to prison ships and battalions. These acts of cruelty will have but their day. I have seen a letter from a friend in London, recommending to be steady and firm in the great work of reformation, that in the end liberty will reign triumphant.
"America once experienced the impetuous effects of British tyranny, but little to what we have here felt. A tear of compassion will drop from every American at this doleful tale, and I trust that the Divine Ruler of the Universe, in whose hands are the disposal of all things, that protected America to freedom, will lead poor little Ireland through the tempestuous sea of civil war unto happiness & peace."

The President has, in conformity to a law of the 6th of February, 1793, issued his proclamation, declaring that all foreign silver coins, except Spanish milled dollars and parts of such dollars will cease to pass current as money within the United States and to be a legal tender after the 15th of October next; and all foreign gold coin will cease to pass current as money within the United States and to be a legal tender after the 31st of July '98.
From the AURORA.
Some ask how it happens that the Yankees are such firm federalists?—The answer is obvious: The President is a Yankee; the chief justice is a Yankee; the first associate judge is a Yankee; the secretary of state is a Yankee; the secretary of the treasury is a Yankee; our ambassador in London is a Yankee; our minister at Berlin is a Yankee; our minister in Spain is a Yankee; the agent for settling British spoliations is a Yankee; one of the French commissioners is a Yankee; our minister to the Dey of Algiers is a Yankee; most of the printers in the pay of government are Yankees.—While the Yankees have so many of the loaves and fishes, it would be strange indeed if they were not federalists!

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
APOSTROPHE
OF RESPAN, (who had been the concubine of King Saul,) when David hanged her children because their father had done amiss. From morn to eve, from eve to rosy morn, On this bleak rock I'll lay me all forlorn; Here will I stay, tho' tempests frown around, Pierce lightnings glare, or earthquakes rock the ground. The prowling wolves, the hungry birds of prey, Pierc'd with my moans, will rove another way; Less ite'd than man, with hearts dissolv'd they'll go, And lose their nature at the voice of woe. And did ye, O my hapless offspring! bleed For your unhappy father's thoughtless deed? He fell, alas! on Gilboa's fatal plain, And gave his life 'mong thousands nobly slain. He had his faults; but he was kind and brave, And with him all his errors found a grave. With curst, deadly hate, Against his house are hurl'd the bolts of fate; For royal David, wrapt in purple grieves While one of Saul's unfort'ate lineage lives; His word is fate—myself, my children all, Must in an undistinguis'd ruin fall.
ANECDOOTE.
Lord S——, an English nobleman, remarkable for his attachment to gardening, was frequently accustomed to hold conversation with a neighbouring yeoman, upon horticultural subjects. Emboldened at length by his lordship's familiarity, the honest rustic ventured to ask his opinion upon the justice and expediency of the war—"Stick to your roots!" instantly replied the peer, "how dare you talk to me respecting politics?" Poor Hodge, repulsed by this answer, silently withdrew. The next day his lordship, with returning familiarity, asked the farmer's advice upon gardening—"Stick to your politics!" replied the iritated peasant, "how dare you talk to me about husbandry."

WHEREAS a certain Christopher F. Parnell, failed from Boston on or about the 27th of October last in the sloop Union, with a valuable cargo, bound to Baltimore, but went off to the west Indies, where he sold the vessel and cargo. On or about the first inst. he was apprehended (as a suspicious character) in this town, and examined before several magistrates, but for the want of sufficient proof to detect him in his villainy, he was discharged. The fact is, the said Parnell is a villain, and is attempting to defraud sundry persons to the amount of 20,000 dollars.
He left this town about the 10th inst. he rode in a chair, painted green, drawn by a gray mare, and went on the Newbern road, on this side Trenton, took the road to Fayetteville, and most probably is passing through the back part of the state into the western counties.
He had when he left this town, upwards of 2000 dollars in gold, and about 7000 dollars in bank notes.
Parnell is a small man, about thirty years of age, much pock marked, has long black hair, remarkable small eyes, and has a down look when spoken to.
Whoever will secure the said Parnell, and the money he has with him, and give information to Benjamin Williams of Baltimore, John Hogg Esq. at Hillsborough, to Mr. A. Jocelin of this town, or to the subscriber who is in pursuit of the villain, shall receive the above reward.
