NUMBER 13.]
Saturday, December 10, 1796.
[VOLUME X.]
LEXINGTON:—PRINTED BY J. BRADFORD, ON MAIN STREET, WHERE SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE RECEIVED AT 15/ PER ANNUM.
To the Public.
From a received opinion that the different Departments in the General Government, now are (or shortly may be) filled with men, whose political sentiments differ materially from those who lately filled them; it may be presumed, that an entire new system of policy may be adopted, or at least a material change made in the present: In either case, Citizens of every description, must feel themselves deeply interested. As there is no other possible method by which the people at large can, at this remote distance, be made acquainted with such proceedings in the different Departments, as will enable them to form a right judgment of the general political system, but through the medium of the press; and as the present plan of the News-Papers published in this State is too contracted, completely to answer so desirable an end, as well as the ordinary purposes of a News-Paper, the Editor submits the following
PROPOSALS
For Publishing the KENTUCKY GAZETTE twice a week:
 I. That this Paper be published every Wednesday and Saturday, from and after the first day of January next.  II. That the price per annum to Subscribers, be THREE DOLLARS AND A HALF; one half to be paid at the time of subscribing, and the balance at the end of the Year. 
As the existence of a News-Paper depends entirely on the patronage of the public; it would be improper to attempt any material change in one already established, without first obtaining their approbation; wherefore, the Editor requests all those who are Subscribers to the KENTUCKY GAZETTE on the present plan, and who disapprove of the above alterations, to signify their disapprobation before the time it is intended to take effect—such as are silent, will be considered as assenting to the proposals, and consequently their papers continued.
The public's humble servant. JOHN BRADFORD.

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 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.

AUTHENTIC.
IMPORTANT STATE PAPER.
THE undersigned minister plenipotentiary of the French republic, in conformity to the orders of his government, has the honor of transmitting to the secretary of state of the United States, a resolution taken by the Executive Directory of the French republic, on the 14th Messidor, 4th year, relative to the conduct which the ships of war of the republic are to hold towards neutral nations.
The sentiments which the American government have manifested to the undersigned minister plenipotentiary, do not permit him to doubt, that they will see in its true light, this measure as far as it may concern the U. States, and that they will also feel, that it is dictated by imperious circumstances, and approved by justice.
Great Britain, during the war she has carried on against the republic, has not ceased using every means in her power to add to that scourge, scourges still more terrible. She has used the well known liberality of the French nation, to the detriment of that nation. Knowing how faithful France has always been in the observance of her treaties; knowing that it was a principle of the republic to respect the flags of all nations, the British government, from the beginning of the war, has caused neutral vessels, & in particular American vessels, to be detained, taken them into their ports, and dragged from them Frenchmen and French property. France, bound by a treaty with the United States, could find only a real disadvantage in the articles of that treaty, which caused to be respected as American property, English property found on board American vessels.
The National Convention, by this, had restored the equilibrium of neutrality which England had destroyed; had discharged their duty in a manner justified by a thousand past examples, as well as by the necessity of the then existing moment. They might, therefore, to recall the orders they had given to seize enemy's property on board American vessels, have waited till the British government had first definitive revoked the same order, a suspension of which was only produced by the embargo laid on the 26th March 1794.
This conduct was the subject of a note which the undersigned addressed on the 7th Vendemaire, 4th year [26th September, 1795, O. S.] to the secretary of state. The remonstrances which it contained were founded upon the duties of neutrality, upon the principles which Mr. Jefferson had laid down in his letter to Mr. Pinckney, dated the 13th September, 1793.
The French government, then, finds itself, with respect to America at the present time, in circumstances similar to those of the year 1793; and if it sees itself obliged to abandon, with respect to them and neutral powers in general, the favorable line of conduct they had pursued, and to adopt different measures, the blame should fall upon the British government.
The undersigned minister plenipotentiary conceives it his duty to remark to the secretary of state, that the neutral governments or the allies of the republic have nothing to fear as to the treatment of their flag by the French since, if keeping within the bounds of their neutrality, they cause the rights of that neutrality to be respected by the English, the republic will respect them.
The undersigned minister plenipotentiary thinks it useless further to develop these principles. He does not doubt that the secretary of state feels all their force, and that the government of the United States will maintain from all violation a neutrality which France has always respected, and will always respect when her enemies do not make it turn to her detriment.
The undersigned minister plenipotentiary embraces this opportunity of reiterating to the secretary of state the assurances of his esteem, and informs him at the same time, that he will cause this note to be printed, in order to make publicly known the motives, which, at the present juncture, influence the French republic.
Done at Philadelphia, 6th Brumaire, 5th year of the French republic, one and indivisible, (27th Oct. 1796, O. S.) (Signed) P. A. ADET.
Department of State, Nov. 1, 1796.
SIR,
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 27th ult. covering a decree of the Executive Directory of the French Republic, concerning the commerce of neutral Nations.
This decree makes no distinction between neutral powers who can claim only the rights secured to them by the law of nations, and others between whom and the French Republic,
treaties have imposed special obligations. Where no treaties exist, the Republic by seizing and confiscating the property of their enemies found on board neutral vessels, would only exercise an acknowledged right under the law of nations.
In the year 1778, France voluntarily entered into a commercial treaty with us, on principles of perfect reciprocity; and expressly stipulating that free ships should make free goods: that is if France should be at war with any nation with whom the United States should be at peace, the goods (except contraband) and the persons of her enemies (soldiers in actual service excepted) found on board the vessels of the United States, were to be free from capture.
At the present time, the United States being at peace, they possess, by the treaty, the right of carrying the goods of the enemies of France without subjecting them to capture - but what do the spirit of the Decree of the Executive Directory, and the current of your observations require? that the United States should now gratuitously renounce this right.
France, bound by treaty to the United States, could find only a real disadvantage in the articles of that treaty which caused to be respected as American property, English property found on board American vessels. This requisition, and the reason assigned to support it, alike excite surprise. The American government, sir, conscious of the purity of its intentions, of its impartial observance of the laws of neutrality, and of its inviolable regard to treaties, cannot for a moment admit that it has forfeited the right to claim a reciprocal observance of stipulations on the part of the French republic, whose friendship moreover, it has ever cultivated with perfect sincerity.
You are pleased to remark, that the conduct of Great Britain in capturing American vessels, bound to and from French ports, had been the subject of a note which on the 27th of September 1795, you addressed to the secretary of state; but which remained without an answer.
The subject, in all its aspects, had been already officially and publicly discussed; and the principles and ultimate measures of the United States, founded on their indisputable rights, were as publicly fixed. But if the subject had not, by the previous discussions, been already exhausted, can it be a matter of surprise that there should be a reluctance to answer a letter containing such insinuations as these?
commercial relations which exist between her and the United States, if by a perfidious construction it permitted the English to violate a right which it ought for its own honor and interest to defend; if under the cloak of neutrality, it presented to England a poignard to cut the throat of its faithful ally; if, in fine, partaking in the tyrannical and homicidal rage of G. Britain, it concurred to plunge the people of France into the horrors of famine.
You also please to refer to your letters of March, and April last, relative to impresses of American seamen by British ships, and complain that the government of the United States had not made known to you the steps they had taken to obtain satisfaction.
But permit me to recur to the subject of the Decree of the Executive Directory.
As before observed, we are officially informed, that the British government have issued no new orders for capturing the vessels of the United States. We are also officially informed, that on the appearance of the notification of that decree, the minister of the United States at Paris applied for information whether orders were issued for the seizure of neutral vessels, and was informed that no such order was issued, and further, that none such would be issued in case the British did not seize our vessels.
These questions, sir, you will see are highly interesting to the United States. It is with extreme concern that the government finds itself reduced to the necessity of asking an explanation of this nature; and if it shall be informed that a new line of conduct is to be adopted towards this country, on the ground of the Decree referred to, its surprise will equal its regret, that principles should now be questioned, which, after repeated discussions both here and in France, have been demonstrated to be founded, as we conceive, in the obligations of impartial neutrality of stipulations by treaty, and of the law of nations.
I shall close this letter by one remark on the singularity of your causing the publication of your note. As it concerned the United States, it was properly addressed to its government, to which alone pertained the right of communicating it in such time and manner as it should think fit, to the citizens of the United States.
I am, Sir, with great respect, Your most obedient servant, TIMOTHY PICKERING. Mr. Ader, Minister Plenipotentiary of the French Republic.

BOSTON, October 5.
HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
From the London Morning Chronicle, August 9. The following Official Note, has been sent from the Minister of Foreign Affairs, to the French Ambassador, Barthélemy, in Switzerland.
The French Government is informed, that the English, after having stopped, during the war, under the most frivolous pretexts, every neutral vessel, have just given the most positive orders to the commanders of their ships of war, to seize, indiscriminately, all the cargoes which they may suppose to be destined for the French.
Whatever injury France may have sustained from this conduct, she has, nevertheless, continued to give the only example of the most inviolable respect for the law of nations, which constitute the pledge and security of their civilization. But after having long tolerated the offence of this machievellian system of policy, she at length finds herself compelled, by the most urgent motives, to have recourse to reprisals against England.
The Executive Directory therefore orders, as the political agents of the French Republic, to inform the different governments that the squadrons and privations of the Republic will act against the ships of every country, in the same manner in which those governments suffer the English to act against them.
This measure ought not to surprise them, since it would be very easy to deny on its part, that it is imperiously prescribed, by necessity, and it is only the effect of lawful defence. If these powers had known how to make their commerce respected by the English, we should have no occasion to have recourse to this affecting extremity.
They will recollect, that the Republic of France, ever generous, proposed to all belligerent powers to respect commerce; but that this proposition, honorable to the government which made it, and dictated by the most perfect humanity, was rejected with pride by a government accustomed to treat with contempt, the most sacred laws of humanity.
NEW-YORK.
PEACE WITH PORTUGAL.
From Capt. Foulton, of the brig Dolly, arrived here last Friday in 41 days from Oporto, we learn, that a peace had been concluded between Portugal and France, before he left that place. The terms of Pacification were, that the Queen of Portugal should pay the French Republic one million dollars (or pounds sterling not ascertained) as the capt. understood, and that the ports of Portugal should be shut against armed vessels of every nation in consequence of the intelligence the minds of the people were pacified.
BALTIMORE, October 24.
Jourdan, it appears, has met with a second defeat, and Moreau a second victory. There seems in this, something like another crossing of the Rhine affair, between the two generals, to give the latter an opportunity to cross the Danube, and fecuring the banks down to the river Inn. From which, to Vienna, is only about fifty miles, and no other river sufficiently large, in the least to retard the march of a victorious army. If this be the object of Jourdan's feigning a defeat, our next advices, will very probably inform us of the total route of the army both of the arch-duke and Werneck, by the former, aid of the running of parallels, before the walls of Vienna, by the latter; and that (Mantua being taken) the whole army of Italy is called to their assistance to make a finishing stroke, and plant the tree of liberty, in the palace yard of the Emperor. But if Jourdan has been absolutely defeated, to the extent as stated in the London papers, and lost 25,000 men, Moreau's successes will turn out disasters, and neither he nor Jourdan can promise themselves the least security, until encamped once more on the right bank of the Rhine. Such is the ardor with which the Austrians may fight, when Austria is the object of an enemy; and such is the success that generally attends the last efforts of desperate patriotism.
November 1.
Arrived yesterday, Schooner Godfrey, capt. Jones, 12 days from Halifax, capt. Jones informs that a number of experts had arrived at Halifax,
all bringing accounts of the surrender of Newfoundland to the French. An express had likewise arrived, three hours only before he sailed, with intelligence that the French had actually taken St. John's, together with commodore Wallace's squadron, consisting of a 50 gun ship, two frigates, and a sloop of war.
In addition to the above, a gentleman of information and veracity, who came passenger with capt. Jones, states, the following interesting particulars:
That while he was at Halifax, a vessel arrived here from the Gulf of St. Lawrence, by which letters were received, mentioning the capture of the Quebec fleet by the French. That on the 18th inst. when the vessel in which he came was about to depart, intelligence was received at the government house, by express, that the town of St. John's in Newfoundland, together with admiral Wallace's squadron, stationed there, had likewise been taken by the French. That their fleet, consisting of 5 or 16 sail of the line were then on the gulf, steering to the river St. Lawrence, but their destination unknown. That a vessel had just arrived at Halifax in six days from the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, the captain of which gave information that he saw ten large ships of war standing to the eastward, and that in consequence of this intelligence a large chain had been carried down from the dock yard and stretched across the N. W. arm, and a frigate likewise sent down to Major's Beach, at the entrance of the harbor to remain as a guard ship, in case the French should make their appearance. That the last sailing ship of war Spencer, of 18 guns had been dispatched from Halifax towards Newfoundland, to gain intelligence of the force operations and destination of the enemy, but that not having returned in the time expected, it was supposed the had been captured; and finally, that they were making every preparation for the defence of Halifax, and given orders for the militia of the province, to hold themselves in readiness to march at a moment's warning.
November 4.
From a Bristol paper, of Sept. 24. Yesterday Dutch papers to the 2d instant inclusive, were received at the office of his Majesty's Secretaries of State. These papers, the writers of which can scarcely be suspected of favoring any thing inimical to the cause of the French, contain accounts from Jourdan's army as late as the 9th instant. By these accounts it appears, that the Archduke had vigorously pursued his flying foe; that Jourdan, driven back to the Rhine, attempted on the 8th to make a stand on its right bank. He received the attack of the victorious Austrians, and again experienced a complete defeat - so complete, that it is reasonably concluded, his army is almost wholly annihilated. On the 9th, General Jourdan himself is stated to have crossed the Rhine, with a small body of attendants. The Austrians were said to be in possession of Frankfort.
Two different Dutch Papers of the same date, likewise, state, that Moreau had experienced a defeat at Ingolstadt. This circumstance is strongly supported by probability; for the Austrian army under General Latour, reinforced by 40,000 men, and, no doubt, invigorated by the accounts of the Archduke's rapid success, would feel itself in a state to act offensively. The advices by this day's Hamburg mail confirm this supposition.
The Dutch papers above quoted, further state the accounts of a victory gained in the Tyrol, over the French army under the command of general Malena. No particulars of this last affair are given; but this account is corroborated by advice received yesterday by the Neapolitan ambassador; which state some advantages gained by the Neapolitan army, acting in conjunction with the Austrians, in considerable force against the French.
This morning arrived in town, the Hamburg mail due on Sunday last. It gives an exact confirmation of the news above stated to have reached town yesterday, in the Dutch papers. Jourdan's retreat and defeat, are painted in still stronger colors than they have yet appeared in this country. The left wing of his army is said, in a letter from Wesel, of the 10th, to have been entirely cut off, and that it was not known what had become of it. The loss, in artillery
and baggage, sustained by the French has been very great.
Letters from Cologne of the ninth, state, that a part of Jourdan's army had then began to cross the Rhine.
An article from Raibon, of the second, contains the account of an action having taken place on the first inst. between the Austrians and the French army under general Moreau. This action took place between Ingolstadt and Geisenfeldt. Moreau was completely defeated, and the loss is stated to have been considerable on both sides.
This mail likewise confirms the report of gen. Malena's defeat in the Tyrol.
An intimation has been given to our minister from the Empress of Austria, through the medium of her ambassador at our court, that she is ready, if a peace should not be immediately concluded, to march an army of 50,000 men into Germany to act against the French in conjunction with the Austrians. This circumstance is by no means an unpleasing one, even should a negotiation take place. To obtain fair and honorable terms of peace, it is essential that we should be prepared for a vigorous prosecution of the war.

A postscript to the above letter, says, we are this moment informed that Jourdan has transferred his headquarters to the left bank of the Rhine.

Our informant adds that the Queen rangers which are the only troops remaining in Upper Canada have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to embark for the lower provinces at a moment's warning.

SCHEME OF A LOTTERY
For raising the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars, for the purpose of erecting a DUCK and LINEN MANUFACTORY in Georgetown. In three Classes—4000 Dollars by the first, and 2000 the two last.
CLASS THE FIRST.
  1 Prize of 2000 Dol. is 2000 Dol.   1 1000   3 400   1 300   6 200   10 100   20 50   40 25   800 12   695 6   of 200 dollars each being   1 for the first and 1 for 400   the last drawn ticket, 6670 
1779 Prizes. 3555 Blanks.
2334 Tickets, at 5 Dollars each is 26670. Subject to a discount of Fifteen per Centum.
As every encouragement ought to be given to manufactures in this state, this in particular claims the attention of the public. The many advantages which will arise from manufacturing Duck, must be forcibly striking to every man of reflection, that the managers think it unnecessary to enlarge on the subject; and the liberal principle upon which the scheme is founded (not two blanks to a prize) will, exclusive of that encouragement, justify the speculative adventurer upon principles of gain. The managers thereforeatter themselves that they will meet with such encouragement in the sale of the tickets as will in a short time justify their appointment and giving public notice when the drawing of the lottery will commence.
Tickets may be had by applying in Lexington to me. John Bradford and Alexander M c Gregory, in Frankfort to Mr. George Madison, in Versailles to Doctor Priston, or to
J. GRANT, W. HENRY, J. HAWKINS. Managers.
Any person purchasing 20 tickets shall have credit until the Lottery is drawn.
