To distillers and others
WHO may incline to carry on the business of rectifying spirituous liquors and the manufacturing cordials in an extensive manner, may now be supplied with the necessary articles for carrying on the same, by applying at the sign of Andrew McCall's Apothecary's Shop near Gray per Lexington. The Articles principally are forming the following liquors, viz.
Spirituous aniseed-water ditto clove-water ditto orange-water, all fours, &c. Also for making brandy and geneva equal in flavour and purity to that imported—There are upwards of 300lbs. of Holland juniper berries, and 100lbs. aniseeds, which may be purchased distinct from the other articles, if applied for soon. Any person or persons inclining to purchase the whole, or the juniper berries or aniseed alone, or the whole of the articles for making brandy and cordials, will (if required) receive genuine instructions gratis, how to use them to the greatest possible advantage.
Also, an exceeding good COPPER STILL, almost a quarter of an inch thick, containing better than 300 gallons, with a worm made of the very best pewter, having ten turns and weighing upwards of 300lbs. with a large quantity of wrought iron suitable to set up the still in the compleatest manner:—the whole of which will be sold together on very low terms, and instructions given for fixing the works in the most complete order, so that it can be worked with more ease than many stills are now of 100 gallons.
N.B. Cordials can be made to more advantage in warm than cold weather.
Also, a FARM, of one hundred acres or upwards on the waters of Tate's creek—It is but one mile and a half from Winters's mills, and four miles from the Kentucky river; four acres of which is excellent timothy meadow, a very good hewn log house, nearly two stories high, with an excellent spring not ten yards from the house—also, a good stable, sufficiently large for four horses. On the said plantation there is a good public mill seat and two branches sufficiently large to erect a mill large enough to carry on the brewing or distilling business. The place will be sold cheap as the possessor is in want of money.

From His Excellency Manuel Gayoso de Lemos, to Andrew Ellicott Esquire.
Natchez, April 14th, 1797.
MY DEAR SIR,
I AM informed that the officer commanding your escort, has enlisted several persons, residents of this Government, which being against the laws of nations, I cannot pass unnoticed, it being an infringement on the sovereignty of the King my master, and a disregard of the authority residing in me.
I cannot persuade myself that it was done intentionally, nor thinking that it could give the most remote offence; but as the matter is of a most delicate nature, I request you to give the necessary orders, that the men so enlisted may be discharged, and delivered to Major Minor, whom I commission for this purpose.
The object of the escort not being to raise men in this country, while under His Catholic Majesty's dominion, I request of you likewise to give the most precise and positive orders to the officer of the troops, or to whom it may appertain, to discontinue such proceedings, or any thing that may injure the immunity of the King's dominions, or his royal rights.
The most perfect harmony and friendship subsisting between his catholic Majesty and the United States of America, the same being recommended in the most particular manner to the individuals of both nations, it would be unaccountable if we, that have had the honor to be distinguished by our appointments, did not promote this friendly reciprocity, which not only consists in a hospitable and polite intercourse, but guarding and keeping to one another the prerogatives and privileges that are due.
Enclosed I have the honor of transmitting to you a list of the men, that to my knowledge, have been recruited, or suffered to be recruited, in this government, by the officer commanding your escort.
I have the honor to be, with the sincerest friendship, my dear sir, your most humble and obedient servant MANUEL GAYOSO DE LEMOS. The Honorable Andrew Ellicott.

DEAR SIR,
YOUR Excellency's favor of this date was handed to me by Major Minor; but the request it contains is of so general and important a nature, and affecting so deeply the privileges of the citizens of the United States, that I must take a short time to investigate its ultimate tendency, as a part, if not all the persons named in your excellency's list, cannot, by any construction of the late treaty, or the laws of nations, be considered as the subjects of His Catholic Majesty. You may rest assured, that having in view the sacred and honorable principles which are the basis of that government I have the honor to serve, and by which Treaties are considered the most sacred of all obligations, I will be careful neither to infringe the rights of the subjects of his Catholic Majesty, nor willingly suffer infringement of those of the citizens of the United States.
I am, &c. &c.

From Lieutenant Colonel Charles de Hault de Lassus, to Major General Anthony Wayne
New Madrid, on the Mississippi, Dec. 18, 1796.
Sir,
Lieutenant Taylor has delivered me your excellency's letter, dated Detroit, October 10th, 1796, and according to your intention I have acquainted him with the orders I have received
from the governor-general of this Province, respecting the treaty of friendship, navigation and limits, between the United States of America, and the King my master. I here enclose a copy of my letter to him, where in I hope you will find sufficient and satisfactory information. As Lieut. Taylor has, according to his instructions, determined to return from here without going any further down, I am about sending immediately an express to New Orleans with your excellency's letter to the governor-general of Louisiana, I will think myself happy if I have succeeded in complying with your intentions.
I have the honor to be, with great respect, your excellency's most obedient humble servant. Charles de Hault de Lassus, Lieutenant Colonel in his Catholic majesty's service, and commander of the post of New Madrid.
Major general Anthony Wayne, commanding the army of the United States of America.
[No. XXIII.]
From Lieut. Colonel Charles de Hault de Lassus, to Lieutenant Taylor. New Madrid, on the Mississippi, December 18th, 1796.
Sir,
According to his excellency major general Wayne's desire, I have the honor to inform you of my having received from the governor-general of this province, information respecting the ratification of the treaty of friendship, navigation and limits, between the King my master, and the United States of America. You have seen in this letter which I have read to you, that I have orders not to prevent in the least the going down the Mississippi of the commissioners appointed on the part of the United States to fix the limits, and of the troops who are to accompany them; but that in the mean time he orders me to tell them, that the evacuation of the posts cannot take place until the time of high waters. I will beg leave to observe to you, that although this is the affirmative answer that general Wayne speaks of, yet as he says that the troops, who are to take possession of the posts, are now waiting at fort Massac, their coming down the river immediately, that is before the high waters, would be somewhat sooner than the governor-general of this Province seems to expect, and somewhat contrary to major-general Wayne's own intentions, since he tells the Baron de Carondelet, in his letter, to appoint the most convenient time for the evacuation of the posts. I hope you will be so good as to make that observation to such officers as are in possession of general Wayne's orders respecting the taking of possession of the posts, and at the same time to make them sensible of the convenience it will be to both the Americans and the Spaniards to wait for a more proper season for the transport of artillery, baggage, provisions, &c. which could not be moved at this present time, without much trouble and risk on account of the river being so remarkably low, as to render its navigation very dangerous.
I have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant. Charles de Hault de Lassus, Lieut. colonel in his Ca- tholic majesty's service, & commander of the post of New Madrid. To Lieut. Taylor.

PHILADELPHIA; June 23.
The President of the United States has nominated Elbridge Gerry, Esq. of Massachusetts, Envoy extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the French Republic, in the place of Francis Dana, Esq. who has declined that appointment.
The senate had negatived by a majority of three the bill for authorizing the President to enlist an army of 15,000 men during the recess, to be called into actual service if circumstances should afterwards render it necessary.
A bill has been brought into the Senate to prevent the arming of private ships, except in certain cases, and under certain regulations. By this bill armed Merchant's vessels are prohibited from clearing out with any other than bona fide property of citizens of the United States, not contraband, or destined to a place neither envested nor blockaded.
TRENTON, June 20.
Victor Hugues, at guadaloupe, is said to have hired out near one hundred small armed vessels, to go against Trinidada, which he made no doubt would be easily taken, the principal force of the British having gone to lee-ward.
An English squadron under Gen. Abercrombie arrived before Porto Rico, with 40 or 50 transports, and had actually effected a debarkation, relying much on the good understanding already prepared for the expedition; indeed, the moment the squadron made its appearance, the cannon in the fort were all spiked, some French people immediately applied to the Governor, to offer their services with zeal The Governor instantly ordered other cannon from the Arsenal to replace these which treachery had rendered useless. He permitted about 2000 Frenchmen who were residents in this city or employed in the privateers, to join the garrison: he confided to them the defence of one of the forts. Pleased with this honorable testimony they hastened to their post, and no sooner had the English fleet approached within half cannon shot than they displayed on a small hoist the national flag. We are told on seeing it, Gen. Abercrombie, was vexed and swore in a rage, "Wherever we go, we find this internal nation." The garrisons of the forts, who had well calculated, that the English would advance with confidence, in expectation of being well received by their friends, seized the favorable moment of firing on them; which was well seconded by the land forces. They made about 1000 prisoners, killed 4 or 500, sunk one vessel and a frigate, and compelled a third to run a shore. It is said nine men accused of treason, have been hung.
Papers received at New-York which came by the Telamus to Boston, furnish copious details of the present state of England. The mutiny of the fleet had excited great and serious alarms. In the House of Lords, May 3d, the Duke of Bedford asked whether any of his Majesty's Ministers had it in charge to make any communication on the late Marine transactions—if not, he conceived it to be his duty to move for the Production of certain papers connected with it. The motion was got rid of by Lord Grenville moving to adjourn, which was carried. The crews of the Atlas, Majestic, and Saturn, lying at plymouth, refused to weigh anchor, until the matters in dispute at Spichead were satisfactorily arranged. The Seamen of the North Sea fleet have returned thanks for the prompt compliance with their demands, and use every exertion in their country's service. The King has addressed the House of Commons on the marriage of the Princess royal with the Duke of Wertenburgh, requesting they will enable him to give her a portion, suitable to the dignity of the crown.
After the message of the Directory relative to a peace with the emperor had been read, Dumouarde made the following speech: "It is certainly impossible to express in proper terms, our feelings of admiration and gra-
titude. We may say our brave armies have deserved well, not of their country merely; but of the human race. Yes! we shall obtain that peace for which Europe sighs, and we shall owe it to the courage of our brave defenders.—Friends of peace you will obtain that peace which for so long a period has been the object of your vows, Friends of liberty, you will obtain a peace such as you desire upon terms honorable and solid. It is at this moment glorious to be a Frenchman; it is at this moment glorious to be at the head of the government of this nation. May this glorious day make us feel the necessity of uniting ourselves [great applause.] Yes! I hesitate not in saying with reference to the subject on which I am addressing you, that I am the organ of all France [Yes yes, were rebounded from all quarters; the plaudits recommenced.] We must bury every thing in oblivion, we must pardon mutual injuries, we must heal the wounds the Revolution has made: we must be convinced that the glory and happiness of France, can only consist in the exact observance of the constitution. For myself, I declare I am sincerely attached to the Constitution; and I maintain that there is not a good citizen nor an honest man who is a friend to the Republic but is so. I close these unconnected observations with exclaiming to you, long live the Republic, and with requiring you should solemnly declare that our armies have deserved well of their country and of the human race" Adopted.
It is said of Buonaparte, in his interview with Prince Charles to sign the armistice, that on a demur of the Prince, in point of etiquette, which should enter the garden first—that he replied, he had no penchant for ceremonies: Peace, to stop the effusion of human blood, was his object; the rest was royal trash—and if the Prince pleased he might enter first!

LEXINGTON:
Wednesday, July 12, 1797.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
Tuesday the 4th day July, being the Anniversary of American Independence, was celebrated here, with all the enthusiasm which an event so important to our country, would naturally inspire.—Between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock, the volunteer corps of Cavalry, and a large number of the citizens of Clarke county assembled, and marched in a regular and orderly procession, preceded by the the Colonel of the county, and a good band of music, with a flag emblematic of Liberty, to the spring of Mr. John Baker, where they partook of an elegant repast, prepared for the occasion; after which the following toasts were drank, accompanied by a discharge of musketry at each toast—
 1. The day, and all who honor it.  2. George Washington,—may his valuable services never be erased from the memory of his countrymen.  3. The President of the United States.  4. The Vice President.  5. The Congress,—may they pursue a generous and enlightened policy uninfluenced by faction or foreign councils.  6. Good government, equal laws, peace and plenty.  7. The memory of the patriots who fell in defence of liberty.  8. An early and vigorous manhood to our infant marine.  9. A peaceable intercourse with all the world.  10. The people of America,—may they always enjoy the blessings of Liberty.  11. The immortal principles of public and private Justice.  12. The Agriculture, commerce & manufactures of the United States.  13. The State of Kentucky.  14. The American Fair,—may their smiles reward the Youth who deserve them.  15. May tyranny be crushed under the feet of liberty.  16. The Militia of the United States,—may they always be considered as the bulwark of our Independence. 
At an early hour the company retired to the house of Mr. Botts, in Winchester—a splendid ball concluded the scene. The whole transactions of the day were conducted with the greatest regularity and good order, and the utmost harmony subsisted amongst those present.
Winchester July 10.
Accounts received at Boston, say, that the Directory of France have advised a proclamation of war against the United States, which was opposed by the Council of Five Hundred.
A witty, well-known old gentleman, from a neighbouring town, being asked how he liked the President's Speech—with a great deal of good humour, replied, "I think friend Adams has pitched the Psalm too high—I fear the congregation will never be able to carry out the tune." [Bolton Paper.]
