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 the Laws of a General Nature.  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 unwieldy to carry about, but also more liable to injury and therefore less durable; and 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.
TWO SECTIONS OF LAND,
IN the Military range, within Judge Symms's tract, one of the following numbers, viz. 12 and 15 in the second township, and 3, 6 and 22 in the 3d township.

Extract of a letter from Andrew Ellicott, esquire, commissioner of the United States, to the secretary of state, dated Natchez, May 10, 1797.
Sir, Since my dispatches by Mr. Knox, the whole of the Spanish commission for the purpose of running the boundary lines between the territory of his Catholic majesty, and that of the United States has arrived; but notwithstanding this circumstance, I see no appearance of getting to business in any reasonable time: various pretences are resorted to by the Baron de Carondelet, and governor Gayoso, to justify the delay; but the true reason, I am well persuaded, has never yet been made known to myself, or to the inhabitants of the district of Natchez, who are generally very uneasy, and many of them consider their situations as desperate if not supported in a few months by the United States.
As the arrival of the whole Spanish commission produced no effect favorable to our business, I expected that of lieutenant Pope with a detachment of about forty troops, which have been some time in the fort, would make some change for the better—in this I have been disappointed. Additional labourers were set to work in the fort, and several more pieces of artillery mounted.
On the first of this month, I received a letter from governor Gayoso, a copy of which, with the answer, you will find inclosed.
On Sunday last, the fort at this place was reinforced by about forty men, and a company of grenadiers are on their way, and hourly expected to join them. Yesterday Mr. Gilimard, the Spanish surveyor, an engineer, and several other military officers, with a boat-load of entrenching tools, left this place for the Walnut Hills, where the works are to be immediately put into a complete state of defence. The labourers who were employed by the direction of governor Gayoso to go on the line, are now ordered to the Walnut Hills to assist in repairing the fortifications.
If the court of Madrid has any design of carrying the late treaty with the United States into effect, the conduct of the Baron de Carondelet and governor Gayoso is to me altogether inexplicable: All their measures have the appearance of approaching hostility; and from some information which I have lately received from a source to which I cannot avoid giving a degree of credit, but a short period will elapse before we shall be ordered to leave this place, if not the country. I have in a former communication mentioned my suspicions, that an undue influence has been exercised over the Indians to prepare them for a rupture with the United States, and to awe into a quiet submission the inhabitants of this district who are at their mercy. I am sorry that no circumstance has yet occurred to make me change this opinion.
Immediately upon Mr. Pope's arrival, he was joined by Ensign McClary, who commands my escort, which consists of about thirty-seven men, and all encamped with me. We now make a respectable appearance—the men are in good health, and well clothed, and the strictest discipline is observed by the whole camp. Lieutenant Pope has hitherto conducted himself in such a manner as to give general satisfaction to the neighbouring inhabitants, without incurring the displeasure of the present governor, or his officers, and at the same time readily supported the honour of the United States; but he has unfortunately been indisposed almost ever since his arrival.
I am, Sir, with great esteem, &c. ANDREW ELLICOTT. Secretary of state, United States.
From Manuel Gayoso de Lemos, to the Honorable Andrew Ellicott. Natchez, 1st May 1797.
Sir, I have the honor to acquaint you, that the commander general of this province, desires me to inform you that his majesty's envoy in the United States, has given him the intelligence of an attack proposed against our part of the Illinois, by the British from Canada; and as such an expedition cannot take place without passing thro' the territory of the United States, said envoy did officially communicate what was necessary, to the secretary of state of the United States, requiring that convenient orders should be issued to
have their territory respected and provide for their own safety, which we doubt not but the United States will acquiesce to, in consequence of the treaty and the good harmony that subsists between the United States of America and his majesty.
The said commander general of this province, in consequence of the foregoing information, finds himself under the necessity of putting in a state of defence, several points of this river, and particularly Nogales, to cover Lower Louisiana, in case the British should succeed in their project against Illinois, for which purpose a convenient force shall be sent to Nogales, to repair and defend that post, which, far from being against the interest of the United States of America, will, in case of being agreed to, leave the military posts in that state of defence which it may be found.
As this is a powerful reason in addition to those that offered before to suspend the evacuation of these posts and of running the line; as our attention is entirely drawn towards the defence of the province, the said commander general desires me to pass to you this official communication, and in consequence of the unavoidable delay to repeat to you in his name, the proposal of remaining here to go down to Lower Louisiana; or, as he thinks might be preferable, to remove to Villa Gayoso, where there are sufficient buildings to accommodate you: This insinuation being an effect of the desire we have to show every degree of consideration as a proof of our disposition to improve the friendship between our nations, assuring you that in any part that you should determine to remove to, or stay, the commander general will facilitate every convenience in his power for your satisfaction.
I have the honor to be, &c. &c. MANUEL GAYOSO DE LEMOS. The Hon. Andrew Ellicott. Walnut-Hills.
From Andrew Ellicott, to his excellency Manuel Gayoso de Lemos. Natchez, May 24, 1797.
Sir, Your excellency's favor of yesterday is now before me, but as it principally concerns the commanding officer of the troops of the United States in this quarter, who I presume will give you a satisfactory answer, it will therefore be unnecessary for me to make any remarks upon it.
In a former communication you were apprized of my determination to remain at this place until we proceeded to running of the line, or recalled by the Executive of the United States.
I am, &c. &c. ANDREW ELLICOTT. His excellency, Manuel Gayoso de Lemos.

COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED, 27 FloREAL.
A message was received from the Directory, conceived in the following terms:
CITIZEN REPRESENTATIVES,
The executive directory has just received the manifesto subjoined, published by general in chief Buonaparte, relative to our situation with the republic of Venice. The Directory has approved the measures taken by this manifesto for the safety of the army of Italy, and the maintenance of the republic. You are informed of our determination to execute the 323d article of the constitution.
THE MANIFESTO.
Head Quarters at Palma Nova, 14th FloREAL. Buonaparte, general in chief of the army of Italy.
While the army was engaged in the defiles of Styria, and had left far behind the troops in Italy, and the principal establishments of the army, with which there remained but a few battalions, the following is the tenor of the conduct observed by the government of Venice:
 1. It profited of the holy week to arm 40,000 peasants; to which were joined 10 regiments of slaves; who were organized into different corps of the army; and posted at different points to intercept all communication between the army and troops in the rear.  2. Extraordinary commissaries, fire-arms and ammunition of all kinds, a great quantity of cannons were sent from Venice itself to effect the organization of the different corps of the army. 
3. On the continent, all who attached themselves to our cause were arrested—government loaded with favors and confidence all those who were known to have a most inveterate hatred of the French name, and especially the 14 conspirators of Verona, whom the Proveditor Prioli, had caused to be arrested three months ago for having meditated the murder of the French.
4. In the public squares, the coffee houses and other public places of Venice, the French were insulted and overwhelmed with ill treatment being called by the injudicious names of jacobins and regicides atheists—the French were sent from Venice, and prohibited turning.
5. The inhabitants of Padua, Vicenza and Verona, were ordered to take arms to second the different corps of the army and to begin, in short, new Sicilian Vespers.—"It belongs to the lion of St. Mark, said the Venetian officers, to verify the proverb that "Italy is the tomb of the French."
6. The priests in the pulpit preached a crusade—and the priests in Venice say nothing but what is agreeable to government. Pamphlets, proclamations of a perfidious tenor, anonymous letters, were printed in the different cities, and in a state where the freedom of the press is restrained—where government is in fear as it is abhorred—where nothing is written or printed but what is dictated or controuled by the senate.
7. Every one failed at the perfidious projects of government. The blood of Frenchmen flowed on all sides; in every direction our convoys were intercepted—as were our couriers and every thing attached to the army.
8. At Padua, a chief of battalion and two other Frenchmen were assassinated.—Castiglione di Moli, our soldiers were disarmed and assassinated—upon all the great roads from Mantua to Legnago, from Casano to Verona, we have had more than 200 men assassinated.
9. Two French battalions were attempting to join the army—they met at Chiari a division of the army of Venice, which opposed their passage. A obstinate combat ensued, and our soldiers forced a passage by routing our perfidious enemies.
10. At Valeggio there was another combat. At Bezzenzano, it was again necessary to fight and defeat them, the French were very few in number; but they well know they are not to count their enemy's battalion when composed of assassins.
11. The second festival of the Itali-

days, at the sound of the bell, all the French were assassinated at Verona. No respect was paid to the sick in the hospitals, nor those who, convalescent, were walking in the streets, and who were thrown into the Adige, where they perished, having been pierced in a thousand places with daggers. More than 400 Frenchmen were assassinated.
12. During 8 days the Venetian troops besieged the three castles of Verona. The cannon in the battery were carried with the bayonet; fire was put in the city; a moving column arrived in time to put the cowards to flight, and make 3000 prisoners; among whom were many Venetian generals.
13. The house of the French Consul Zante, in Dalmatia was burnt.
14. A Venetian vessel of war, took under her protection an Austrian convoy, and fired many balls at the corvette La Brune.
15. The Librator of Italy, a vessel of the republic, carrying only 3 or 4 pieces of cannon, and 40 men, was sunk in the port of Venice and by order of the Senate.—The young and interesting Laugier, lieutenant and commandant of the vessel of the moment, he saw himself attacked by a fire from the fort, and the admiral's gally being distant from both not more than pistol shot, ordered his crew into the hold of the vessel; he alone stood on deck, and addressing himself to the assassins, sought to disarm their fury but he fell dead on the spot. The crew attempted to escape by swimming, but were pursued by 6 shallows filled with Venetian soldiers by the republic, and many of them were slain on the water. A mate wounded with many blows, exhausted and bleeding, was fortunate enough to reach the shore at a wood, but the commandant cut off his wrist with a hatchet.
Having seen the above grievances, and authorized by title 12th of article 328 of the Constitution of the Republic and seeing the urgency of the circumstances.—The general in chief requires the minister of France with the Republic of Venice to quit the aforesaid city; he ordains that the different agents of the Republic of Venice, in Lombardy, and in the territories of Venice to withdraw from them in 24 hours; that the different generals of division treat as enemy's the troops of the Venetian state—that they demolish the lion of St. Mark in all the cities on the continent—Each general shall receive as the order of the day to-morrow particular instructions for their military operations.
This manifesto excited most lively indignation, and was ordered to be printed.

Extract of a letter to the Editor.
Paris, April 28.
Henceforth France will have England only left to contend with (Portugal being on the eve of making peace with France, having in their proposals to the directory come nearly up to their demands) and so far is this government from being disposed to make peace with England at this time, that they appear, on the contrary, resolved to prosecute the war, until they have completely humbled the pride of Great Britain, which, since peace is made with the Emperor, they will not be long in doing, if the Directory is supported by the legislature of France; which I have no doubt they will be; from the extreme contempt and antipathy which the French have conceived against the British government. Besides, the credit of England is going down hill very fast; their resources of course must soon fail and will be insufficient for them to carry on the war any longer; moreover they are on the eve of having not a friend in Europe, left—their extreme insolence, and the wickedness of their present ministry, have gained them the contempt and horror of all friends to humanity—and few will be those who will regret their downfall.—On the other hand France is courted and admired by all nations; and the credit of the consolidated debt of this country, is raising daily, and for the last thirty days has doubled in value, and such is the public confidence now in the government and affairs of this country, that national property, I mean confiscated estates, formerly belonging to those who have emigrated, have risen considerably, and are of quick sale.
The present is an awful moment for America, and must make every American sincerely attached to his country, deeply regret the folly and want of foresight in the late administration, in making a treaty with Great Britain, at the time they did (particularly such a one as was made) so unnecessary, and so injurious to the honour and prosperity of the United States of America. Since that treaty the American character is respected no where, and I fear, that unless there arrives soon an envoy extraordinary from the United States, to settle the differences between that the differences between that government and this, that the consequences of the present disaffection of this government towards ours will not only be fatal to the American commerce, but ruinous to many individuals who have claims on this government, and which claims will amount to forty-five millions of livres! for not a farthing will the Americans be paid, until the differences between the two countries are settled.
From the NEW WORLD.
July 20.
The Editor of the New World has received Paris papers to the 23d of May; which contain many articles that must give pleasure to the friends of peace and humanity.—The following article is taken from a celebrated Paris paper, called Gazette Francaise , of the 23d of May.
Letters from New-York dated the 1st of April, informs us that Mr. Adams the President of the U. S. on hearing that the Directory had refused to acknowledge Mr. Pinckney and had ordered him to quit the territory of the Republic, has convened an extraordinary meeting of Congress for the 15th of May.
We hope that when an account of our election will reach America, it will be an inducement to Congress to appeal from the injustice of the Directory to the National Justice. The Directory wants war, and the nation wants peace, here is a new proof of it.
A privateer belonging to St. Marc had captured an American vessel and brought her into Havre de Grace, the owner of the privateer grounded his pretensions on a decree of the French Directory, the captain of the American vessel appealed to the treaty with which this arrest was in opposition. The tribunal of commerce has declared the prize void and illegal, the sentence of which being applauded by every enlightened merchant, is a good lesson for the minister Truguet, who wants to learn a great deal and who will undoubtedly soon be sent to school.
[The Gazette Francaise , is one of the anti-revolutionary, royalist papers. It has been in uniform opposition to the republican government of France, and was an apologist of MALMESBURY. In a late number, we believe the very number from which the above is extracted, BUONAPARTE is called the CARTOUCHE of Italy. Cartouche was a notorious chief of a daring band of robbers. The complexion of this paper should be understood to estimate what reliance ought to be placed on its paragraphs.]

JULY, I think 'twas the tenth day; My wife SALLY run away, From bed and board did go, and say, She would no longer with me stay. Now, since she's left me without cause, I'll leave her time enough to pause, So that she may see her error, Whilst I live happier with a fairer, So I forewarn both great and small, To trust her any thing at all— For her contracts from this day, Not one farthing will I pay.

A clergyman being possessed of a negro wench, to whom a man of her own complexion paid his addresses; her master having some objection to the poor suitor, the latter took the liberty to ask him a question, viz. 'Master, no wat de lebenth commandment be?' The parson could not tell. 'Well,' says the negro, 'Me will tell wat it be—De lebenth commandment is, B'fo' every one mine he own business.'
A meeting of the board of trustees of the Transylvania Seminary, July 8th 1797. Resolved, that this board do now adjourn to meet again on Saturday the 12th of August next, at 9 o'clock A. M. where the members are requested to be punctual in their attendance.

One hundred Dollars reward. STOLEN OUT OF MY SHOP THREE WATCHES, & TWO GOLD RINGS.
ONE of which is a small French gold Watch, which I missed about the 20th of last September. I am informed the maker's name (which was on the face, and perhaps on the inside also) was L. Eppine, a Paris—there was a piece broke out of the face by winding with two large keys; if any carrying on the case, it was only a little round the rim and joint; when stolen it looked dull by lying some time out of use, wanted cleaning and a glass, had a small yellow chain with flat links and a small flat gilt key. The silver watches were both milled since the middle of this month: one of which was of the new kind of flat watches, with gold hands, made by James Miller, London, No. 2396, if I remember right. The other was what is called a Holland watch, but I think it was made by John Ardern, Liverpool, No. 1013; as well as I recollect, the cock over the balance-wheel was silver, in which was a garnet stone for the wheel to run on; she had yellow hands, and the outside case shut like a box without any spring. One of the Rings was of a common kind, with middle sized square white stone. The other was an old mourning Ring, which weighed about half a guinea, lettered with "Frances Nelson, obit (date forgot) Aetas 84," but scarcely legible.
Whoever apprehends and delivers to me the thief or thieves, and the articles above mentioned, shall be entitled to the above reward, or twenty dollars for each watch, and one dollar for each ring.
