Answer to the Address of the Committee of Bourbon County. May it please your Worships.
An address from weak brethren, which was dictated by love, would merit our thanks; but the address from the Committee of Bourbon, constrains us equally to admire the superior wisdom of the Authors, and the singular excellence of the Measures which they propose.
In the first place, we think it our duty, in this public manner, to testify and declare our most unfeigned approbation of the system of Committees which you have devised. County committees, and Company Committees, by artfully playing into each other's hands, must certainly secure the election of their own members as are desirous of filling a seat in the ensuing convention, (and who so fit as they;) and also as certainly prevent the election of any other person; and by this means, restrain that freedom in voting which the common people would otherwise most grossly abuse. An astonishing device indeed! It is a greater discovery than the philosopher's stone.—To change fools into wise men; or what is much the same, to teach them to act wisely.
But alas! we fear that the scheme will not be generally adopted. Some who assume to themselves the title of wise men, have infused into the minds of number,—That such Committees are disorderly, because they are not authorised by law;—That they are partial, because the members are chosen only by those who are on the militia rolls; and as a majority of the people do not think proper to fall in to the measure,—That every step taken by such committees, will be a violent attempt of the few to rule the many; But above all,—That they are exceedingly dangerous, because the committees which were recommended by Congress to be chosen throughout America on the approach of the war, though they were the most respectable popular Committees which ever existed, yet they assumed the most unlimited powers, and committed many acts of tyranny and injustice, which would have disgraced a Spanish Inquisition, or a Turk in Cadi; and, say they, we have no reason to expect better things from the Kentucky Committees. But your Worships have effectually answered these and all other objections which can be made by asserting, That as at the beginning of the revolution from Great Britain, Committees were indispensably necessary to unite and guide the people of America, when there was no law; so now, that Committees are equally necessary in Kentucky, when the mode of electing members for Convention, and all our other concerns, are particularly directed by law. Yet so perverse are these evil designing would be thought wise men, that if a committee should assert a thing to be white, they would immediately endeavour to prove it was black.
Notwithstanding the vexatious objections which we have recited, and many more of the same kind, which seemed to prevail against committees, we, for a while, had great dependence on the influence of the Committees of Fayette and Bourbon, which were formed before the uproar arose; but to our great mortification we at length found that whilst the Committee of Bourbon was enriching the pages of several New papers with the most stupendous projects, the Committee of Fayette only produced one puny advertisement, signifying their desire that the other County Committees would meet them at Harrodsburg, for the purpose of endeavouring to be of an uniformity in their instructions to the Convention &c. From which it appears, that the great and mighty Committee of Fayette will only serve as a foil, to cause the Committee of Bourbon to shine with the greater lustre. All hail ye great luminaries of this Western world! Ye bold assertors of true liberty, and of your country's cause, we now list our-
selves under your banner only, with implicit faith that all your ambition is to go foremost for our good, and to lead us in the way we would go. Go on, Great Fathers, with undaunted courage, to accomplish the noble ends you have in view, and demonstrate to deluded mankind, that the committee of Bourbon first discovered the way to avoid the baneful influence of ruffled hands and grog.
This brings us, in the second place, to say something to the admirable Articles which you have devised and recommended as the fundamental principles on which the government of Kentucky should be founded. But what can we say that will give any additional weight to what has been recommended by the Committee of Bourbon. That you have devised them, must give them indisputable credit with every reasonable man; and to advance arguments for the sake of the nerveless, would only be casting pearls before swine. Men of corrupt principles will profane the most sacred truths, but every man, who regards his purse, must admit a device which will secure all the advantages of a free government, and avoid the expenses which have heretofore been thought the necessary attendants on such governments. As this is the grand secret of your whole scheme, it must daily gain credit with every one who does not wish to grow fat on the substance of the people. All others will cheerfully risk their political liberty and security to save their money: for what will a good government profit us, when our purses are empty? Again we say, go on with undaunted courage, to establish a form of government which will cost us nothing—but a little superfluous country produce;—and as wool, linen, horned cattle, sheep, swine, poultry and all other kinds of property are to be taxed for the purpose, our rulers may be well fed and clothed; and their highest ambition may also be gratified by riding as splendidly as any of the other Lords of the earth.
On you the worthy Committee of Bourbon, we have placed our only dependence, and as a reward for all your toils and struggles, your members shall assuredly be the men whom your enlightened country will delight to honor with the most exalted station in our new government.
We need not be very particular in letting you know, because you must have heard the many cavils which are made to the plan of government you propose. It is urged that the laws of a free government will unavoidably be numerous and intricate, because they must regulate all the variety of affairs which are transacted in a country; for whatever is not regulated by law must depend on the arbitrary will of the rulers, which would put an end to civil liberty. But this can have no weight where men have such wise heads and pure hearts as those whom we mean to trust with the administration of justice amongst us. Besides would not every judge wish to have it in his power to favor a friend or oppress an enemy, without being restrained by law. But the principal advantage arising from judges being left free to decide as they please, will be, that he who has the heaviest purse will certainly gain the cause, and in this way the judges may be well supported without oppressing, with heavy taxes, those who have nothing to do with law funds.—Another cavil against cheap governments which is much relied on, is—That thereby men of talents and experience will be discouraged from engaging in the business, or from attending with diligence to their duty if they should engage. But this also will appear to be frivolous, when it is considered that these are not the kind of men we shall employ. In the plain simple government which is proposed, plain simple men will be much more suitable than those who have great wisdom and experience. But
why should we trouble you or ourselves with repeating objections which are only made and propagated by those who ought to have no hand in the business, nor even be suffered to remain in the country if they do not behave themselves quietly. It is sufficient to assure you that every proposal which you have published for the consideration of the public, has been received by us with profound reverence and admiration; and that from these specimens we have the most unswerving confidence that you will continue to display wisdom and fortitude equal to the unparalleled undertaking in which you are engaged.
We conclude with devoutly praying, that you may also be successful in propagating a race of true original and genuine patriots to reign in your stead, when you shall have finished your career of glory in this western hemisphere.
Then shall these sons of love combine, To rule the graceful world with might;
Whilst you, their royal fathers, shine Resplendent in the realms of light.
Signed on behalf of all the far-headed and evil minded free men of Kentucky.

Proceedings of the National Assembly, on the flight of the king and royal family.
Saturday, June 25.
The Assembly passed the following decree:
First, the king, on his return to take Chateau des Thuilleries, shall have provisionally, a guard subject to the direct order of the commandant general, who shall be responsible for its conduct.
Second, there shall be likewise given to the presumptive heir, a guard, under the order of the commandant general, and a governor, who shall be nominated by the National Assembly.
Third, that all those who accompanied the royal family shall be arrested and examined, and that the king and queen shall be heard in their vindication, that such measures shall be adopted in consequence as may be judged proper.
Fourth, that a guard shall likewise be appointed previously for the king.
Fifth, that, till it shall be otherwise ordained, the minister of justice shall be authorised, as he has already done since the flight of the king, to affix the seal of the state to the acts of the legislative body.
Sixth, the ministers, and the commissioners of the king, are authorised to exercise, being responsible, the functions of the executive power.
Monday, June 27.
M. Tronchet gave, in the name of the three commissioners appointed to receive the declaration of the king and queen, the following account of the manner which they had executed their commission:
“For the purpose of executing your decree of yesterday, M. Dandre, M. Dupont, and I met; and, about nine in the evening
proceeded to the Thuilleries. We were introduced into the king's apartment, where we found him alone. After having read to him your decree, I judged it necessary to remark, that the declaration of his majesty should refer according to the intent and meaning of the decree, as well to all the transactions of the 21st of June, as to the occurrences connected with them, whether of an interior or posterior date. The king answered, that he did not understand submitting to interrogatories; but that he would deliver in a declaration conformably to the requisition which had been made to him by the national assembly. We then took his declaration, to every page of which he had set his signature. He went afterwards to the apartments of the queen, whom we found, with Madame Elizabeth, preparing to sit down to table; but, the latter informing us that her majesty could not then receive us, because she was going to the bath, we desired her to appoint another hour; and she fixed upon eleven this morning; but returning at the time prescribed, were introduced into the bed-chamber, where the queen was without any one attendant whatever. We then read to her the decree of the national assembly, subjoining to it the same observation which we had made to the king. She dictated to us her declaration, and, having afterwards heard it read over, put her signature to every page of it.
P A R I S. June 30.
M. DESTAING.
The following Letter from M. d'Estaing to the president was read.
PARIS June 27
“No conduct can be intrusive which expresses the good will of a fellow-citizens. I know not what officer in this department is appointed to receive the military oath, and therefore I send it in writing to the national assembly, I intreat them to receive this assurance of my readiness for the defence of the constitution. I am already both a Lieutenant-General by land, and an Admiral by sea, and I wish that there was a new element, in which I might fight for the Constitution.”
When the Ministers waited upon the King on, the 28th of June, after having feelingly represented to him the suspicions to which his flight had subjected them, and the dangers to which they had in consequence been exposed, they informed him, that it would henceforward be impossible for them to have any intercourse with him, without being accompanied by a Commissioner.
Five members of the Section du conseil have already subscribed 500 louis, as rewards for whoever shall bring the head of Bouille, or of that General who shall command the troops destined to invade our frontiers.

There are other subscriptions of the same kind on foot.
L I S L E, June 7.
THE National guard in the village of Lequin stopped an ecclesiastical, who had a considerable quantity of louis-d'ors, and one bag of silver, in his carriage, the whole weighing 169 lb. besides this a quantity of assignats, and some rouleaux of Louis were found upon his person. This money is said to have been the first payment of a million to be furnished by the late Abbot of St. Bertin to the Cardinal de Rohan to hasten the passage of the Rhine. Thus the counter revolution has received another pull back.
L O N D O N, July 10 — 16
We have, by this day's mails, received information, that on the Austrians appearing inclined to oppose the passage of the Turks—which, had it taken place, would have delivered the Russians in Wallachia to their enemies—the Turks attacked their advanced posts on the 10th of June.
The Austrians at first suffered considerably, and lost about 240 men, 63 of whom were hussars; but having received a reinforcement, they afterwards repulsed the Turks, who lost about 600 men.
It is now said to be certain, that no fleet will sail from hence to the Baltic this season.
Since the suspension of the conferences at Szistova, every thing in Vienna is in motion; and dispositions are making for new campaign. General de Mudgebourg, commander of the corps of pontoniers, received orders, on the 17th inst. to repair without delay to the army on the frontiers, and set off on the 18th. On the 17th the Austrian council of war dispatched orders to the mandants General in the neighboring hereditary states, for the regiments to hold themselves in readiness to march. The works at the Arsenal, and on the dock-yard on the Danube, are carried on with redoubled vigor. In the latter they are particularly busy in preparing 200 boats, for which they have occasion; and for the more speedily procuring them, an embargo has been laid upon all the keelhammers (large boats used on the Danube) that were found upon the river. That of Pest, on the 18th, to take on board the troops quartered between Pest and Peterburgh, to transport them to the army on the frontiers.
The regiments, in garrison at Vienna, were ready to depart at the first notice.
An express was likewise sent to field marshal prince de Cobourg, who has been some months absent on leave, to hasten his return to resume his command.
Hungary exhibits nothing but an appearance of war; instead of being sorry at the prospect, it is with a kind of satisfaction that the Hungarians see the convention of Reichenbach on the point of being annihilated. They always consider the Emperor as being forced to consent to it, and have impatiently wished for an opportunity, like the present, to testify their dislike to it.
The Russians have attempted, but without effect, to surprise the garrison of Bratsilov. The Grand Vizier having divided his army into three bodies, one of them was destined to cover Varna, another to succour Bratsilov, and the third, composed of 35,000 men was to attempt the passage of the Danube near Silistria. Should the war against Austria continue, measures are taken, by the Grand Vizier, that a corps de reserve remain at Shiumla, to cover, at all events, the road to Constantinople.
It is also stated, by our foreign correspondents, that the Capt. Pacha no longer expecting the auxiliary vessels from Barbary, had sailed in search of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea.
By the last letters from Sir Robert Ainslie at Constantinople, we learn that the plague has broke out within a few leagues of the metropolis, and had a most alarming appearance, as numbers were dying with every day.
Stocks yesterday experienced a gentle rise—This cannot be attributed to any positive intelligence respecting the more friendly disposition of the Empress of Russia, but to the patriotic wishes of our fellow citizens.
Whatever foundation there may have been the rumours of revolt in Spain, we may pronounce with confidence, that no insurrection in that country can terminate in the establishment of freedom. To become free, men must be enlightened, and liberty can have no enlightened votaries in that benighted and priestridden kingdom.
No doubt the council of regency for the Dauphin in case the nation decree the deposition of his father will be a measure of the utmost magnitude. Neither the Duc d'Orleans, M. de la Fayette or the young Dauphin, have the slightest ambition, by their own declaration; though the people have imagined, no doubt erroneously, that the first would have liked the office of king; the second that of protector; and the third that of grand seigneur over a great assembly.
How true is the political axiom, that despotism which owes its success army, cannot but by that army's destruction ever be subdued. If the troops had continued firm, all that the people could have done, would have been ineffectual to have prevented the predominance of the monarchic authority in France.
The high aristocrat faction on the right side of the national assembly, threatened by their organ, M. Cazales to quit the senate. It is understood that a sort of compromise retains them in their places which is, that the monarchic shall still be the form of the French government.
The tender of Leopold to receive his sister back, and confer upon her such dignity of dwelling and retinue, as are suitable to her rank would, there is little doubt, readily be accepted by her majesty—neither we think should the assembly shew any repugnance to the bequest.
Keep you your word king, to receive your sister, And then from hence she goes to make our odds all even.
The friends of the antient system in France will never be anxious that there queen should embrace the offered protection of Leopold, well knowing that her name is indeed a tower of strength; & that the royal cause would excite neither respect nor commiseration, if it were not adorned by the participation of so noble a woman.
Speculations of the French constitutional politicians.
If the grand quarrel between the Turks and the Russians be not suddenly terminated by a peace which is now very improbable, it is very likely soon to set Europe in a blaze, and arm Austria, Russia, and Sweden, against Prussia, England, and Holland. In the hypotheses of this war, the three last powers have an interest in fomenting internal troubles in France, in order that being occupied with her own affairs, she may not interfere with their designs, either by fortifying the party of the two imperial courts by virtue of the antient alliances which still unites them to Austria, nor by seconding in Holland the republican party, who would be tempted to profit by the circumstance to throw off the Prussian yoke. The court of England may have the same views of particular interest in the civil discords of France by hindering her to
assist or save Turkey her antient ally; for if France in the present critical situation of the Ottomans could offer the n her assistance, they would be dispensed from paying England's alliance by the cession of Candia, Alexandria, and by a treaty of commerce, which will in fallibly destroy that of France to the Levant.

STOLEN
FROM the Garrison at Fort Washington on the night of the 26th ult. the following horses, viz. two bay horses the property of Col. Samuel Hodgdon, Quarter Master General, the one a bright bay, a natural trotter, about 9 years old, and nearly 15 hands high, without any brand or conspicuous natural mark—the other a dark bay, paces and trots alternately, mostly inclined to the former, 13 hands high, and eight years old, no brand or particular mark—Also one gray horse, the property of Col. Darke—One bay horse belonging to Capt. Strong, and one bay horse, the property of the United States, and branded either with a single C, or with a cannon mark on his shoulder. From some circumstances there is reason to conclude that they were stolen by White Villians, and that they are taken into some of the Kentucky settlements for sale.
Any person or persons apprehending the thief or thieves and securing them so that they may be brought to justice, shall receive Twenty dollars, and an addition of Ten Dollars for every horse received and returned to the Garrison.

NEW CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
In the life of Man, a young Woman prosecuted a young man of that place for a rape, and he was returned to the Spiritual Court being found guilty.
When the Dempster or Temporal Judge, delivered to her, according to the custom of the island, a rope, a sword, or a ring, by these presents the young woman had her choice, whether she would hang, behead, or marry him, she chose the latter as the severest punishment.
