NOTICE.
ALL persons having demands against John May deceased, either for money due to them, or for contracts payable in lands, are requested to transmit to the subscriber a copy of their demands or contracts. All who are indebted to said John May, either for money due to him, or for contracts for land purchased from him, or for locating lands in the state of Kentucky, are requested to make payment, and to perform their specific contracts immediately. The said deceased has by his last will and testament, subjected his lands to the payment of his debts, and the subscriber will make it the first object of his administration to provide for the same, with as much dispatch as the nature and circumstances of the estate will admit of. And whereas the said John May met with a premature death, by the hands of the Indians on his passage down the river Ohio, many papers and much information perished with him, 'tis probable the subscriber may need the information of others in some matters relative to the negotiation of the deceased, in the western country, and he will thankfully receive any communications which gentlemen acquainted with the concerns of the deceased, may think proper to make.
I have appointed Mr. Thomas Carneal my agent in Kentucky to receive and forward all communications in that state, alluded to above. As the want of a legal representative since the death of Mr. May, has obstructed all operations relative to his transactions and no doubt to the injury of many, I now intreat that all persons concerned may bring forward their business immediately.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY, December 14.
[Continued.]
Mr. Ames proceeded to remark on the idea of Mr. Giles, that the executive wanted wisdom and firmness. Mr. Giles rose and observed that the words related only to the character of his administration. He did not deny that the gentleman possessed both. Mr. W. Smith had said, that if the complimentary parts of the address were struck out, the president, from his great sensibility, would retire from office with daggers in his heart. Mr. Ames did not believe so. He believed that the chief magistrate would retire with the testimony of a good conscience. This business must end in taking the yeas and nays, and then every member will have an opportunity of telling his opinion to the world. Mr. Ames believed that it was of very little consequence to the fame of the president, what might be the vote of the house. The character is fixed in history. The impression which it has made on the civilized world will be felt by posterity.
In reply to Mr. Dayton, Mr. Swanwick rose. He was surprised to hear an imputation introduced, as if gentlemen opposing a paragraph in the address, wanted to disrespect providence. Nothing had surely fallen from any gentleman opposing that part of the address authorizing such an inference. Indeed the address run in a stile not common to devotion. To be thankful that we were wiser and happier than all the world, would not give any great idea of our philanthropy. As to the present state of affairs, was it peace? no—was it neutrality? no. The president, as the only expedient to preserve our commerce, proposes a navy. Is this condition of affairs an object of exultation. All the commercial interests of the country are nearly annihilated. Last year much had been said about the distress of the western country. It could not be worse than the situation of American seamen. The British, just as before the treaty, continue to take our vessels; and, since the British treaty, the French are added to the number of our enemies. Mr. Swanwick then adverted to the words the freest and most enlightened nation in the world. He entirely disliked this vaunting stile. "Why if we look into the English publications, said Mr. Swanwick, I have no doubt that we shall find them speaking of themselves in the same way." By this amendment, there was no design of denying providence, and by drawing this picture of the state of the country, he did not mean to shew an indifference about it. "My whole and sole reason, said he, for giving this account, is because I know it to be true." He condemned in general, the United States intangling themselves in too many treaties.
Mr. Giles then rose. He had expected to hear of the president's popularity as being brought into the debate for the sake of influencing. He came there to speak his own opinion, without enquiring what might be that of others. Mr. Ames had told the committee that the select committee were unanimous in this draft of an address. I care as little about that, said Mr. Giles, though I should be much surprised indeed, if some of the gentlemen on that committee did approve certain parts of the address." As to the wisdom and firmness of the executive, Mr. Giles, in opposition to both, specified the ratification of the most fatal instrument the British treaty . It had been the worst measure which the United States ever saw. It was the real and only cause of the present impending French war. There was no great wisdom in having led the country into such a situation. The joy which that treaty produced in Britain, and the resentment which it excited in France, had sufficiently shewed the real complexion of the business, and here it was looked upon as in both countries. "I would think myself, said Mr. Giles, a traitor to my own opinion, a traitor to my constituents, if I did not stand up and declare my sentiments." Mr. Ames had last year drawn a frightful picture of the calamities of war to alarm the house into an acceptance of the British treaty . But now, when there is a much greater danger of a French war, the gentleman does not
speak a word of its horrors. He only bids us tell the executive that we are ready to stand by him. It was impossible not to see the very different kinds of feelings with which Mr. Ames was actuated, when France and when Britain was in the case. The former was a much more formidable enemy than the latter, whose naval power had been painted in such alarming colours.—France can put an end at once to almost the whole foreign trade of America—the can exclude our ships from the Mediterranean, from Spain, from Portugal, from Holland, from her own extensive territories, in Europe, and in the West Indies. Here is an end of the much greater part of our commerce. We must trade to Britain, at the risk of being captured by French privateers. Mr. Giles again reminded the house, of the strong impressions which had been made upon them in last session, by the gentleman from Massachusetts, who described the hatchet, the scalping knife, and other circumstances of an Indian war. The gentleman had gone on in a strain of eloquence, which Mr. Giles would not pretend to rival. But he was greatly surprised at the gentleman's present silence on the same topic. The description given last session was exactly suitable to a French war, which included one with Spain. The shutting up of the Mississippi would be the first consequence, and an Indian war the second. What if they were to send missionaries to the people beyond the mountains, where the doctrines of liberty and equality would be extremely acceptable. Instead of taking any notice of these alarming circumstances, instead of displaying any part of that eloquence, of which the gentleman had so much command, he only tells us in a few words that now is the time to come forward . When gentlemen talk of the wisdom and firmness of the president, we cannot help recurring to the extraordinary circumstances attending the British treaty . All America begins to be of opinion, and all America will very soon be of opinion, that this ratification was not wise. Every gentleman in hearing of Mr. Giles would agree with him, that if this fatal instrument had been laid before the house, previous to its being ratified, it never would have received their concurrence. Much had been said about the law of nations, that the British treaty was in unison with it, that the French had violated it. "Sir, said Mr. Giles, I am one of those who believe the law of nations to be this: In time of war, you shall not give an advantage to my enemy which you do not give to me." It was not proper to speak about foreign nations as inferior to the people of this country. Alluding to the comparison of Mr. Sitgreaves, Mr. Giles held it still more absurd to compare the transactions in that house, and their answer to the speech of the president, with the private conversation of a man in the midst of his family. If Mr. Giles was not much mistaken, some representatives of foreign nations were now in the house, and thus recurring to the comparison, he would observe, that if this man in his private family were to give such advice, while those very neighbours were present, at whose expence the advice was given, they would not probably be much satisfied with his mode of information. Mr. Giles here expressed his surprise, that any member should think of bidding gentlemen in that house to come forward, and after having for so many years opposed most measures of the present administration, to write scoundrel on their foreheads , by consenting to such an address. No influence under Heaven should ever make him do so. Mr. Giles felt as much personal attachment to the gentleman now in the presidential chair as any member in the house. He would say that for many reasons he felt gratitude to him, and thought that the country was indebted to him. But the British treaty offered none of those motives to gratitude. Mr. Giles had no doubt but that if the address was re-committed, it would be possible to produce something extremely different from that before the house, and at the same time something extremely respectful to the President. He hoped that a sufficient number of gentlemen would concur in his opinion for sending it back to the committee. This was the chief object of his amendment.
Mr. Williams went over some objections which had been stated by Mr. Giles. He defended the British Treaty . He insisted that it was not for the
interest of France to go to war with this country; Mr. Giles having stated it as his belief, that such a proceeding was really for the present interest of France.
Repeated calls were now made for the rising of the committee. Accordingly, they rose, the chairman asked leave to sit again, and at 40 minutes after 3 o'clock the house adjourned. (To be continued.)
BOTZEN, October 22.
The troops who are in Mantua, with field marshal Wurmser, amount to 25,000 men. The want of provision in that fortress becomes more alarming to the soldiers, among whom contagious fevers have unfortunately made shocking havoc. The surrounding districts are totally exhausted. The French are not supplied with sufficient heavy ordnance. Gen. Avinzi strains every nerve to collect a force sufficient to relieve Mantua.
HAGUE, October 29.
The day before yesterday a letter was read in the convention from Batavia, stating, that the English had taken all our settlements in the East-Indies, except Batavia, and two settlements in Java.
LONDON, November 8.
A neutral vessel, sent into Harwich by one of admiral Duncan's cruisers, left Amsterdam on Sunday last, has brought advice that the French army of the Sambre and Meuse had advanced towards the Lahn and were preparing to attack the Austrians, stationed in the vicinity of Nieuweid and Ehrenbreitstein. Their posts extended along the Mamerbach, and to Dilldorf in the Westerwald. Many skirmishes had taken place on the Hunfruck, terminating generally to the advantage of the Austrians, and who in the Palatinate had extended themselves within a short distance of Kaiserslautern. The advance of a strong column of Republicans, comprising the garrison of Landau, and several battalions of National guards, had obliged gen. Hotze to retire into the neighborhood of Spire. The archduke Charles, had removed his headquarters to Baden, and withdrawn his forces from the neighborhood of Kehl, with which, Moreau, whose front extends to Offembourg, had effected a communication.
November 16.
An evening paper of last night, stated, on the authority of some person, said to have arrived in a vessel from Calais, that a few hours before the vessel sailed, intelligence had been communicated by the Telegraphe to Lisle, of a desperate engagement having taken place at Trieste, on the 20th ult. between the Austrian army commanded by gen. Alvinzi, destined to relieve Mantua, and the French division under gen. Masena, in which the former was completely defeated, and 3000 prisoners, and all the Austrian artillery and baggage, fell into the hands of the enemy.
It was also reported that general Wurmser, during the above action, made a sortie from the garrison of Mantua, and succeeded in destroying the enemy's works, and killing a great number of men; but, that, after a desperate conflict, the Austrians were driven back in the fortress, by a numerous reinforcement, which arrived to the aid of the French, from Piedmont and Tyrol.
As not only the the letters from Vienna of the 29th ult. and from Italy of the 26th, brought by the last Hamburg mail, but even a letter from Trieste, written on the day subsequent to that on which the action is pretended to have taken place, take not the smallest notice of any such event, we incline to believe that these reports have not the smallest foundation in truth.
NEW LONDON, January 5.
"It is reported, that, there has been concluded between Spain and Portugal, a convention, stating that all the ports of the latter should be shut against the English during the war."
From Italy it appears that Mantua still holds out. General Wurmser has made several ineffectual sorties, and the surrender of the garrison is every day expected to take place.
Moreau has requested of the Directory, that Pichegru may be appointed to the command of the army of the Rhine and Moselle,
In a letter to the Directory, general Moreau states, that, on the 18th October (27 Vendemaire) his right wing was attacked in the palles de Hell , of St. Peter, and St. Mergin; but they were defended. On the 19th prince Charles made a fresh attack; the French general Beauvais was killed; Moreau preserved his position; killed 500 Austrians and took 150 prisoners. The two armies were engaged every day, from the 15th to the 25th, when, Moreau took post at Antingert and the next day passed the Rhine at Antingen; and altho the Austrians were encamped but a league distant, they did not molest his passage.
President Washington's address on his resignation, is published in the London and Liverpool papers.
A Dutch fleet dispatched from Holland for the purpose of retaking the Cape of Good Hope, were all captured on the 17th of August, at anchor in Saldanha bay. The Dutch squadron consisted of 2 ships 66 guns, one 54, one 44, one 36, one 28, one 26, one 18, and a store ship; commanded by rear admiral Lucas. They appear to have been weakly manned, the ships of the line having less than 400 seamen and troops, and the others in proportion. The British fleet which captured them, consisted of seven ships of the line, a fifty, and several of smaller force, commanded by admiral Elphinstone. The Dutch admiral surrendered by capitulation, without firing a gun.
The fear of a French invasion rather increases in England; and the ministry endeavor to promote the alarm.

LEXINGTON:
Saturday, March 4, 1797.
Died, on Thursday morning last, Mr. WILLIAM PARKER, of this town—Yesterday his remains were interred in the burying ground at Mr. RANKIN's meeting house, attended by the Light Infantry company (to which he belonged) in uniform, and a very numerous assemblage of respectable citizens.
Answer of the House of Representatives to the President's Address to both houses of Congress.
SIR
The house of Representatives have attended to your communication respecting the state of our country, with all the sensibility that the contemplation of the subject, and a sense of duty can inspire.
We are gratified by the information, that measures calculated to ensure a continuance of the friendship of the Indians and to maintain the tranquillity of the western frontier, have been adopted; and we indulge the hope that these by impressing the Indian tribes with more correct conceptions of the justice as well as power of the United States, will be attended with success.
While we notice, with satisfaction, the steps that you have taken in pursuance of the late treaties with several foreign nations, the liberation of our citizens, who were prisoners at Algiers is a subject of peculiar felicitation. We shall cheerfully co-operate in any further measures that shall appear on consideration, to be requisite.
We have concurred with you in the most sincere and uniform disposition to preserve our neutral relations inviolate, and it is of course, with anxiety and deep regret we hear that any interruption of our harmony with the French Republic has occurred: For we feel with you and with our constituents, the cordial and unabated wish to maintain a perfectly friendly understanding with that nation. Your endeavors to fulfill that wish, and by all honorable means to preserve peace and to restore that harmony and affection which have heretofore so happily subsisted between the French Republic and the United States, cannot fail therefore, to interest our attention. —And while we participate in the full reliance you have expressed on the patriotism, self-respect and fortitude of our countrymen, we cherish the pleasing hope, that a mutual spirit of justice and moderation will ensure the success of your perseverance.
The various subjects of your communication will respectively, meet with the attention that is due to their importance.
When we advert to the internal situation of the United States, we deem it equally natural and becoming to compare the present period with that immediately antecedent to the operation of the government, and to contrast it with the calamities in which the state of war still involves several of the European nations, as the reflections deduced from both tend to justify as well as to excite, a warmer administration of our free constitution, and to exalt our minds to a more fervent and grateful sense of piety towards Almighty God for the beneficence of his providence, by which its administration has been hitherto so remarkably distinguished.
And while we entertain a grateful conviction that your wise, firm and patriotic administration has been signal-ly conducive to the success of the present form of government, we cannot forbear to express the deep sensations of regret with which we contemplate your intended retirement from office.
As no other suitable occasion may occur, we cannot suffer the present to pass without attempting to disclose some of the emotions which it cannot fail to awaken.
The gratitude and admiration of your countrymen are still drawn to the recollection of those resplendent virtues and talents which were so eminently instrumental to the achievement of the revolution, and of which that glorious event will ever be the memorial. Your obedience to the voice of duty and your country, when you quitted reluctantly, a second time, the retreat you had chosen, and first accepted the presidency, afforded a new proof of the devotedness of your zeal in its service, and an earnest of the patriotism and fac-
cess which have characterized your administration. As the grateful confidence of the citizens in the virtues of their chief magistrate, has essentially contributed to that success, we persuade ourselves that the millions whom we represent, participate with us in the anxious solicitude of the present occasion.
Yet we cannot be unmindful that your moderation and magnanimity, twice displayed by retiring from your exalted stations, afford examples no less rare and instructive to mankind than valuable to a Republic.
Although we are sensible that this event of itself, completes the lustre of a character already conspicuously unrivaled by the coincidence of virtue, talents, success and public estimation; yet we conceive we owe it to you, sir, & still more emphatically to ourselves and to our nation; (of the language of whose hearts we presume to think ourselves at this moment the faithful interpreters) to express the sentiments with which it is contemplated.
The spectacle of a free and enlightened nation offering by its representatives the tribute of unfeigned approbation to its first citizen, however novel and interesting it may be, derives all its lustre, (a lustre which accident or enthusiasm could not bestow, and which adulation would tarnish) from the transcendent merit of which it is the voluntary testimony.
May you long enjoy that liberty which is so dear to you, and to which your name will ever be so dear: May your own virtues and a nation's prayers obtain the happiest sunshine for the decline of your days and the choicest of future blessings. For our country's sake, for the sake of Republican liberty, it is our earnest wish that your example may be the guide of your successors, and thus, after being the ornament and safeguard of the present age, become the patrimony of our descendents,
To which the President returned the following answer.
GENTLEMEN,
To a citizen whose views were unambitious, who preferred the shade and tranquillity of private life, to the splendor and solicitude of elevated stations; and whom the voice of duty and his country could alone have drawn from his chosen retreat; no reward for his public services can be so grateful as public approbation, accompanied by a consciousness that to render those services useful to that country, has been his single aim; and when this approbation is expressed by the representatives, of a free and enlightened nation, the reward will admit of no addition. Receive gentlemen, my sincere and affectionate thanks for this single testimony that my services have been acceptable and useful to my country. The strong confidence of my fellow citizens while it animated all my actions ensured their zealous cooperation which rendered those services successful. The virtue and wisdom of my successors joined with the patriotism and intelligence of the citizens who compose the other branches of government, I firmly trust will lead them to the adoption of measures, which, by the beneficence of Providence, will give stability to our system of government; add to its success; and secure to ourselves and to posterity that liberty which is to all of us so dear.
While I acknowledge with pleasure, the sincere and uniform disposition of the house of representatives to preserve our neutral relations inviolate; and with them deeply regret any degree of interruption of our good understanding with the French Republic, I beg you gentlemen, to rest assured, that my endeavours will be earnest and unceasing, by all honorable means to preserve peace, and to restore that harmony and affection which have heretofore so happily subsisted between our two nations; and with you, I cherish the pleasing hope that a mutual spirit of justice and moderation, will crown those endeavours with success.
I shall cheerfully concur in the beneficial measures which your deliberations shall mature on the various subjects demanding your attention. And while directing your labours to advance to the real interests of our country, you receive its blessings; with perfect sincerity my individual wishes will be offered for your present and future felicity.
GEORGE WASHINGTON.

Take Notice.
WHEREAS I am informed a certain Mr. George Adams, hatter of the town of Lexington, has taken his hats to the different court houses in this state, and sold them as my manufacturing—therefore this is to notify the public, that I intend hereafter to put my name in each of my hats, to prevent the character of my shop being injured by any such person. As I intend moving shortly to Georgetown, the ticket that will be in each hat will certify that they were made in that place.

December 13 1796.
Just Arrived at Limestone, And will be opened in the course of the ensuing week, at the subscriber's store in Lexington, a large and general assortment of
MERCHANDISE,
Suited to the present and approaching season;
Which will be sold, wholesale or retail, on the lowest terms for cash, or the following articles of produce: flour, kiln-dried indian meal, hemp, wheat, rye, corn, barley, oats, bacon, butter in firkins, tallow, whiskey, peach brandy, feathers, beeswax, country made sugar and linen, or any other articles of produce that can be made to answer the Orleans market. SAM. PRICE, & Co.
Feb. 18, 1797.
JUST RECEIVED, And now opening by Peter January, Jun. At the Brick Store, directly opposite the Court House, A NEAT, compleat and well chosen Assortment of MERCHANDISE, perfectly adapted to the present and approaching season, which he offers for sale on very reduced terms. Lexington, February 25.
THE subscriber having been solicited by a number of persons, to lay off a town on his land, lying on the bank of the Ohio river about one mile above Limestone, is induced to offer to the public consideration, those advantages which he supposes the situation enjoys—The bottom on which the town will stand is upwards of three miles long, and about three quarters broad. It lies as well as any land on the Ohio, and is free from floods. The bank of the river at the town will afford excellent landing places, and is remarkably easy of ascent. A road from the town can be had equal to any place on the Ohio, as there will be no river hill to ascend, by going up Limestone creek about two miles, and from thence there is a good road to Washington about two and an half miles. The proposed town has some advantages over Maysville, at the mouth of Limestone—The river bank being much more convenient, and the bottom, much more extensive, at the former than at the latter. It is the opinion of good judges, that a road greatly superior to the present Limestone road, can be had from the proposed town. The subscriber is of opinion that the spot intended for the town, enjoys more extensive advantages than any spot on the Ohio. It may justly be considered as the key to the Kentucky and Cumberland countries by land; and there is reason to suppose that it will be the grand place of deposit for the Lake country, as the Sciota river is eventually to be the leading communication from the South to the North. The country on the S. W. side of the Ohio, above and below the proposed town, is so hilly as to forbid the prospect of an advantageous road into the interior parts. The very great increase in the navigation of the Ohio, which has already taken place, and which must evidently increase, will give importance to some convenient spot on that river. The land of the subscriber offers as many advantages as any situation within his knowledge, and he verily believes, from an experience of eight years, that the situation is healthy.
The subscriber intends to lay off a town, with convenient streets and lots fronting on the river, and extending back a proper distance, and will expose the same to public sale on the first Monday in May next—A credit of nine months will be given, and bond, and sufficient security required.

ON Saturday, the 18th of this instant, a negro boy I hired, accidentally cut the hamstring of a red and white fleec, marked with a crop and two slits in the right ear, and two slits in the left—I got Col. James Trotter and John Harrison, to view him; and they advised me, as the fleec was so disabled that he could not walk, to have him killed and butchered, weigh him and pay the owner for the beef—The neat meat weighs 429lb. Any person that the fleec belonged to, by applying to me in Lexington, may receive his value.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
WHY sleeps the thunder in the skies, When guilty men to Grandeur vile? Or why should innocence bewail Distress, in bleak misfortune's vale? Just are the dark decrees of heaven, Since short the date to either given: Vice earns unceasing dread and shame, Whilst endless joys are VIRTUE's claim.
ANECDOTE.
