The Supervisor of Revenue for the district of Ohio, being advised that suggestions have been made, that large sums of money have been received by the officers of revenue in this district, which have not been accounted for at the treasury; and knowing that none has come to his hands which has not been accounted for; finds himself under the necessity of again calling on the several collectors in the district who have not settled their accounts, which he now does for the last time—to come forward immediately and settle their respective accounts and pay in their respective collections, which, if they should omit, he is charged forthwith to prosecute as delinquents, and shall proceed accordingly.

"Supervisor's Office, 22d April, 1797."
BEING assured of legal assistance, the supervisor of revenue for the district of Ohio, has it in charge from the Treasury department, to make a strenuous effort to enforce the collection of the duties arising from distilled spirits, hills, &c. And is instructed that the first demands ought to be made of those delinquents whose example in opposition to the law has been most influential. If they shall manifest a disposition to submit to the law, by complying with any formal injunctions before omitted, and shall agree to pay the duties which shall have accrued, for two years prior to the first day of July 1797, the Supervisor ought to settle with them on these terms, without coercing the penalties, or the former arrears. If however opposition is made to a compromise on these principles, suits ought to be commenced both for the whole arrears, and for all penalties which have been incurred.
"If a disposition to a compromise shall not be perceived among the influential non-compliers with the law, suits ought to be commenced against this class of men generally; with respect to men of inferior consideration and influence, suits may be suspended until further instructions are received. And it is farther particularly recommended,—that the Supervisor carry the preceding plan of operations into a prompt and complete execution, in a frank, candid, and conciliating spirit, by himself and his collectors."
To which the Supervisor takes this occasion to add,—that as temperance and forbearance have ever been primary considerations with him in the execution of his office; it is with pleasure he communicates the foregoing benevolent propositions on the part of the government of the United States, and flatters himself, that the people to whom they are made, will see in them, as well the indulgence of the government, as the indispensable necessity of enforcing the execution of the law, against all opposition. T. MARSHALL, Supervisor.

BATAVIA, Jan. 26.
A dreadful mortality prevails here; the island is nearly depopulated by the ravages of disease & death; every day the flag is to be seen hoisted half staff high, denoting the death of some person in office, member of council, or captain of an Indian. This disorder attacks all ranks and ages, and generally proves fatal within twenty-four hours.
The troops and seamen at Batavia do not now amount to 1400 men.
KINGSTON, (Jamaica) March 11.
Extract of a letter from Martinique, dated the 20th of February.
"There have been no captures lately, except one Spaniard from the river plate, valued at 70,000l. There are fine seasons here, and the island will make a great crop, but Barbadoes is quite dry. Every thing is tranquil in Grenada, Dominica and St. Vincents. They are conveying the Chas-ribs to Rattan. The troops at St. Lucia are extremely unhealthy."
BOSTON, April 7.
A vessel from Aux Cayes spoke at sea by an arrival at Portsmouth, informed, that the blacks had destroyed that place entirely, and massacred all the whites.
By a vessel which arrived at Marblehead, and left Lisbon the 1st of March, we learn, that the day after the capture of the Spanish ships by the English squadron, under the command of admiral Jervis, the Spaniards captured ten sail of the English Mediterranean merchant ships.
NEW-YORK, April 18
The sailing of the Dutch fleet from the Texel occupies the speculation of politicians. What is their object? They cannot be bound to the Cape of Good Hope. This is against all probability. Nor is it likely bound for the West-Indies. It is possible a squadron of land forces may be bound for the East-Indies; but it is against probability, that the Dutch will at present attempt to recover their possessions in the East. It seems more probable that this expedition is a part of the general plan of keeping Great Britain in perpetual alarm. Some actual attempt may be made, the better to attain the objects of the French, which are to augment by all possible means, the expenditure of the British nation, and hasten the ruin of her public credit—at the same time, by harassing the coast, draw the inhabitants from their occupations; thus lessening the productions of agriculture and manufactures.
The state of the bank of England may have been known in Holland, and served to hasten the sailing of a fleet, at this moment, as a favourable crisis to spread terror in Great Britain. These are mere conjectures.
PHILADELPHIA, April 15.
A gentleman, passenger in the Diana, arrived on Saturday from Guadalupe has brought a list of forty-three American vessels, captured and carried into that island, by French ships of war and privateers. The greater part of them having appeared at different times it does not seem necessary to recapitulate their names here. In the catalogue, however, we remark the fate of the sloop Minerva, of Providence, R. I. from the coast of Africa, bound to St. Thomas's—vessel and cargo condemned; captain and crew in goal, and to be sent to Martinique as Englishmen.
April 21.
Extract of a letter from Cadiz, to a respectable mercantile house in this city, dated 20th February.
"Captain Suter will no doubt, inform you of the engagement which took place on the 14th inst. about 40 leagues East of this place. We have as yet learnt nothing of the affair further than that it was the Spanish squadron, commanded by Don Joseph de Cordova, composed of 24 ships of the line, 7 of which were 3 deckers, & the English fleet consisting of 15 ships. It commenced at three quarters past eleven in the morning, and was kept up till half past eleven in the evening, at which time the admiral's ship the Trinidad, a heavy unwieldy vessel, separated much shattered, and was towed off by one of the fleet. The admiral with his principal officers went on board the Diana, where he made most vigorous exertions, and it is said, much injured the enemy."
"A thousand conjectures are made here, according to the dispositions of the authors, concerning the event of this dreadful engagement, which it is expected will make a new epoch in maritime history, & perhaps destroy the mean opinion in which the English hold the Spanish navy, as well as inspire it with a just idea of its own superiority and ability to conquer, from the goodness and number of its ships, opposed to the valor and discipline which is generally attributed to the English."
"I am inclined to think the English have been worried, perhaps I am mistaken; time however will determine. Should any further accounts arrive before I close this letter, I will inform you."
[From the above letter it is apparent, that no authentic advices had been published of the action, prior to the departure of capt. Suter.]
The paragraphs which follow, are copies from London papers, from the 4th up to the 7th March, irregularly inserted.
Letters from the Hague, state, that the Patriots and Orange party have come to blows; that blood has already been shed; and that Dorem is the central point of these commotions.
At the sittings before lord Kenyon, on Tuesday last, in an action for a breach of promise of marriage, the jury gave 4000l damages to the plaintiff, who is a button maker at Shaffsbury, named Acheson. The defendant is Mrs. Balzer, aged 72! and Mr. Acheson is upwards of 72! The lady has a fortune of 24,000l.
S P E C I E.
The present scarcity of specie is not less a matter of regret than surprise. The coinage of gold and silver since the restoration, has been as under:—
  Coined by Charles II 7,524,105   James II 2,691,626   William III 10,511,963   Anne 2,691,920   George I 8,725,921   George II 11,966,376 
Total coinage from 1660 to 1760, 44,111,817
Coinage in the present reign 51,073,362
Total 95,185,179
From which sum, deducting the recoinage, and supposing (though highly improbable) that full halt has been illegally exported, or manufactured, there ought still to remain above forty millions in circulation. The gold coin in circulation in 1794, amounted to 37,500,000l—since which period some millions have been issued from the mint.
Information of the sailing of the Dutch fleet, is brought by the packet arrived at Yarmouth with the Hamburg mail. It is stated to consist of 11 sail of the line, and 6 frigates, without any transports, and is said to be going about North. Government, however, we are told, has received information, that it has returned to the Texel.
Letters from Holland, received at Paris on the 1st inst. say, that a fleet was to sail from the Texel, for the purpose of making a second attempt to retake the Cape of Good Hope. This statement is agreeable to the report of the Hamburg packet. Admiral Duncan is at sea.
Letters from Peterborough say, that there are six men of war fitting out at Archangel, and 29 at kontradi, Rovel and Raga.
The Imperial edict, bearing date, Peterburgh, January 22, which allows French wines, Provence oil, olives, capers, anchovies and brandy, to be imported in neutral bottoms, contains the following remarkable clause:—"Lastly, it is hereby enacted that the edict of the 8th of April, 1793, which prohibits the importation of such French goods as are mere articles of luxury, and interdicts all communication and intercourse with the French, until a lawful government and order of things are established in France shall be strictly observed."
From Botzen, by a letter, dated February 13, we learn, that the veteran, marshal Laudon, has been prevailed upon by the archduchess Elizabeth, to resume his command of the right wing of the army near Salurn. Vukassovich commands the left, and Lepay the centre. The Imperial advanced posts, it is said, are again some leagues beyond the Adige, near Cembano.
Five hundred of the felons were shipped off in a Dane on Tuesday, from Havre de Grace, and 600 more were to be embarked on Wednesday. The magistrates were fearful that the country people would rise on them, as they felt so indignant at such a rabble intulting their coasts.
There are at this time 10,600 troops stationed on the Eastern district, between Romford and Harwich. The garrison of Chelmsford and Colchester, alone, consist of 8000 men.
Last night a messenger was sent off from the secretary of state's office, with dispatches to lord Elgin, at the court of Berlin. A messenger from his lordship, a courier from col. Crawford, arrived in town this morning; as did Mr. Arbuthnot, our minister at Stockholm.
Some further accounts received from the Brilliant Star, French cartel, which arrived here yesterday from Brest, state, that a number of persons of a description similar to those lately landed at Elinguard, were in readiness at Brest, and in the neighborhood, to embark on any expedition that might be proposed.
The emperor of China, many years ago, signified to his subjects, that if he should live to reign 50 years, he should resign his crown. He has lived to that period, and has actually relinquished the sceptre in favor of his fifteenth son.
It has been said of a man of 70, that his talk was peculiarly arduous—he had at the same time succeeded to a title and married a young wife.
Many discordant accounts have been published, and much misrepresentation circulated with regard to the reception which Mr. Pinckney met with from the French government. From the best information that has reached us, we think the following state of the case may be relied on as substantially correct.
Mr. Pinckney went as minister ordinary to supercede Mr. Monroe. Subsequent to the time of his appointment the French Republic, through their Minister here, reiterated their complaints of the conduct of the United States, and to shew their sense of the insulting silence held by our Executive on the score of the grievances the minister had complained of, ordered him to suspend his function here.
Mr. Pinckney had set sail, of course without any special powers relative to this critical state of affairs. It was in consequence natural to suppose and it was predicted, that he would not be received. It was not, in reason, to be expected, that having suspended their ordinary minister, they would receive ours.
Mr. Pinckney arrived at Paris and the French government refused to acknowledge him. He desired to receive his dismissal in writing. The French answered, that they would not dismiss him, as they had never received him. He then demanded a protection as a Minister; this they refused as they could not acknowledge him in that capacity. They told him that by applying to the Minister of Police he could obtain a protection as any other foreigner. This he refused to do probably with warmth, under the impression that his country was slighted; and he was then informed, that if he would not conform to the police regulations he must abide by the consequences. Mr. Pinckney then of his own accord left Paris for Amsterdam.
We have not a doubt but that an Envoy extraordinary would remove every difficulty, and restore the wounded harmony between the sister Republics. In spite of all the efforts of the faction among us to involve this country in a war with France, for the advantage of Britain, and the ruin of America, we feel confident that pacific measures will be pursued.
NEWARK, April 19.
IMPORTANT.
Extract of a letter from Philadelphia, April 11.
"An occurrence has taken place here within a few days which has excited much of the public attention. Porcupine published in his vehicle of security, filth and falsehood, a paper signed George Wilson."
"This publication, as you will naturally suppose, occasioned a great deal of conversation, and speculation. The attorney of this district, had Mr. Porcupine paraded before the Mayor of this city, that he might search out the"
treason which was hatching. All the George Wilsons in the city appeared, and no one among them was to be found, who knew any thing about the transaction. To acquit himself, the British Corporal declared, that the communication had been put into his letter box, and that he did not know its origin.
"Thus you see the man again unmasked; he did not expect to be interrogated on the subject; but whether the thing was not as well managed as usual, or whether the change of administration has produced more honesty, or whether Buonaparte's triumphs have produced different sensations, certain it is that he was left in the lurch. Even the British faction begin now to disown him, they pronounce him to be, what he has ever been known to be by every true American."
"We are all in high glee here at the "prosperous" situation of affairs in Great Britain!!! Nothing now can equal their resources, since the government has turned indorsers for the banks and no more specie is to be issued. Thank God! Great Britain has at length been weighed in a balance, and has been found wanting! The miseries that they have heaped upon France are now coming home to them and they will reap the fruits of their baseness! America, among the rest, will then be revenged! Accept my congratulations on this stoppage of payment; it is the most important piece of information we have received during the war. What will become of Peter? Will he be disposed to receive his subsidy in paper guineas instead of golden ones."
"The people here are awaking fast to their real situation. They begin to see and to feel the wisdom and policy of the last administration, and they begin to send forth execrations against those who are the authors of our present embarrassments."
"The British Treaty has prostrated every thing virtuous to our interest and character. Our commerce and agriculture are sustained irreparable injury by it, while our national character, is by means of it, becoming the scoff of the world."
"It is said that Mr. Adams is sincerely disposed to reconcile France to us. I wish it may be true—he will establish a lasting and solid glory by it."
"Mr. Adams must be cautious in the steps he takes; he is not buoyed up upon the popular affection as his predecessor once was; every measure of his, will be examined upon its merits, and if it will not stand the test, his having been the commander in chief of the revolutionary armies, will not be plead in its justification or extenuation—I hope much from his administration."
ALL persons indebted for purchases made at the late sale of the estate of John and Hannah Harris dec. are hereby requested to make payment, on or before the 11th of June next, as no further indulgence will be given.

LEXINGTON :
Saturday, May 13, 1797.
The piece signed George Wilson, mentioned in the extract of a letter from Philadelphia (under the New-Ark head) says, that there was an agreement handed him to sign, which contained the signatures of nearly 150 persons, to enroll themselves for the purpose of joining the French party, in case France should declare war against the United States, which agreement he did sign, but afterwards, being convinced he had acted improperly, he erased his name out.

O YEZ! O YEZ! O YEZ!
Lost or run away, the remaining part of the Austrian army, which were sent to relieve the fortress of Mantua, under the command of gen. Alvinzy Buonaparte's Republicans having committed many depredations on Alvinzy's 40,000 troops, about 19,000 strayed away. Whoever gives information where this part of the army is gone, so that Buonaparte may again get sight of them, shall be handsomely rewarded, and render an essential service to the cause of Liberty and Republicanism.
"How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished?"
"The Sun," (a Ministerial paper) of Feb. 16, has the following important paragraph.
"The imports of the United States of America last year from the British Dominions, amounted to eight millions sterling. Those from France, Holland &c. were under half a million."
Quere.—Is it probable this nation would find it for her interest, to go to war with America?
They write from Lisbon that one part of the Spanish fleet were not able to join in the action; that after the capture of the 4 ships the Spaniards could not bring the British to a second action, and that the next day the Spaniards captured 8 or 10 of the English Mediterranean merchant ships.

PLEASE to inform the public that gentlemen who have not engaged their mares to Young Union, need not make application, as he has had as many as he will cover this season.

Mr. Bradford:
AS I understand some things are suggested injurious to my character respecting an uncommon sort of paper made in my mill, I think it necessary to observe, that a stranger applied for paper, as near as I can describe, of the colour and thickness of the white wrappers on my reams of paper, rather thicker than our common printing paper, and by no means resembling any bank bills now in circulation that I have seen; a sample of which paper I herewith send you, and may also be seen at my house in Geo. Town. He requested no secrecy—the paper was made and finished without my presence, and that publicly, which can be proved by several. I am ready to make any kind of paper that can be made in my mill, in the same public manner, for those who will give me a good price—but will keep no secrets. I privately have sent a sheet of the paper to North Carolina, where I have had some reasons to believe it is intended to be used. The paper was stole out of the mill, but I had previously got the worth of it in hand before it was begun.

Mr. Bradford,
I WISH to inform those gentlemen who have been so kind as to purchase of my paper, and the public in general, that I am under the disagreeable necessity of raising the price of that article; because, the rags which are collected by my rag-man, costs me about fifty per cent. more than they did when the prices were first established. The price of labour and other things necessary for prosecuting the business are also higher. The extreme difficulty of the seasons, the works standing long idle and dry, occasions loss of time and great expense in repairing;—For these reasons hope the public will be reconciled to the present prices, and continue the encouragement they have hitherto given to so useful a factory.

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.
JOHN BRADFORD.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
Soliloquy,
ON A SPRING MORNING.
HOW sweet the air—how fair each scene, How full of joy each field; What balmy odours breathe around, What lays the warblers yield. With what enchantment I review Aurora's early ray; Which calls up nature's offspring all— Prelude to fragrant May.
Transported o'er the mead I walk, Or cross the torrid lawn; Pursue the winding streamlet's course, And mark the verdant lawn.
Devote my song to him on high, From whom these beauties spring, And with ecstatic pleasures cry, My God is Nature's King.
ANECDOTE.
A droll fellow who got a livelihood by fiddling at fairs and about the country, was one day met by an acquaintance that had not seen him a great while who accosted him thus: 'bles me! what! are you alive?' 'Why not?' answered the fiddler; 'did you send any body to kill me?' 'No,' replies the other, 'but I was told you were dead.' 'Ay, so it was reported it seems,' says the fiddler, 'but I knew it was a lie as soon as I heard it.'
