SITUATED in the counties of Franklin, Clarke, Bourbon, Mason, Madison, Lincoln, Hardin and Greene.

Seventy-five Dollars Reward.
RUNAWAY from the subscriber, the tenth of December last, a likely Negro Fellow, named Ishmael, about twenty-six years of age, five feet nine or ten inches high, stout, well made, his upper fore teeth a little wide, it is supposed that he is detained by the instigation of a certain Mrs. Mary Netherland, or some of her associates—the said Mary Netherland, was formerly the wife of John Netherland of Virginia. Also, a Negro Fellow, named Bob, (who was violently taken from me by a certain Martin Hawkins,) about forty years of age, with a blemish in one of his eyes, about five feet eight or nine inches high, limps in his walking, occasioned by a hurt in his hips. Also, (runaway,) the fourteenth inst. a Negro Fellow, named Phill, about forty years of age, five feet nine or ten inches high, well set, and has a large scar on one of his legs, occasioned by an old fire, which is not yet cured. The above said negroes, I expect, will pass as the property of the said Mrs. Mary Netherland, and notwithstanding the many assertions against John Netherland, it is hoped, no person of character, will be so uncharitable as to condemn him, until a full investigation of the circumstance between him and the said Mary can be heard; all persons will be particularly cautious from purchasing or hiring said negroes from said Mary, or other persons, and also, the said Mary is legally divested of all power of making use of any property belonging to the said John Netherland, and further, any property in my possession, belonging to the said John Netherland I am ready to deliver to said Mrs. Netherland, on her legal application, agreeable to their mutual separation. The above reward, will be given, for the three negroes, delivered to me on Hickman creek, Fayette county, or lodged in any jail in the state, or twenty-five dollars each, and all reasonable charges, paid by B. NETHERLAND . Agent for JOHN NETHERLAND . March 16, 1797. tf
AS I purpose going once more to the great bend of Tennessee, have thought proper to give this friendly notice to those who wish to join me at Lexington the 20th day of May next—at Harrodsburgh the 22d—and Green town, on the 25th—and from thence I shall proceed on to the mouth of Crow creek, on Tennessee. It is expected every man will come well prepared for the journey. BENJ. S. COX . Lexington. April 19, 1797.

LONDON, March 2.
An account was this day received in town from the Eastern coast, which states, that a small squadron of French frigates, and a powerful flotilla of gun boats, arrived at Dunkirk on Sunday, on board of which 20,000 troops were in readiness to embark.
This statement may be true, but what fears are to be entertained in consequence of such an armament, under so contemptible a convoy? The Ocean on every side is now covered with cruisers, and the grand fleet of 24 sail of the line, and 20 frigates, is only waiting for a fair wind to put to sea. Nothing has yet been heard of the ship which landed the French banditti on the coast of Pembrokehire.
It appears that at Loretto, very little spoil was made, the chief of the treasure having been removed before the arrival of Buonaparte. The holy father is said to have fled from Rome, of which city Perlet, imagines the Republicans are in possession.
The French papers confess their navy to be in the most deplorable state. The officers are without the requisite cloathing, and have not yet more than one quarter of their pay in specie.
March 3.
The bank it is said means to issue a large quantity of dollars, at the rate of four shillings and six pence each, which in the present scarcity of cash, will not fail to prove a very important accommodation to the public.
The bankers of Bristol and Bath, receive and pay in bank of England notes.
The merchants and tradesmen of Bristol, and the company and tradesmen of Bath, have resolved to take the notes of all their bankers in payment.
Several of the respectable banks in the manufacturing towns have begun issuing notes of 2s.-6d.-5s.-10s.-and 20s.-for the accommodation of their customers. These being received by tradesmen and shopkeepers will be exchanged for bank notes in sums of 50l. and upwards.
The inhabitants of the town of Reading, on receiving an account of the order of council respecting the bank, immediately entered into a resolution to receive the bank notes, and also those of the established banking houses in that town, in payment as usual.
Scotland, has long been ridiculed for her Guinea bank notes. What must now be said of England, that circulates notes as small, but for which a guinea cannot be obtained.
Four persons in the household of the prince of Wales, Frenchmen by birth, have absconded, in consequence of being charged with carrying on a secret correspondence with the Republic of France. One of them has been apprehended, and officers sent down to the sea-ports in pursuit of the rest.
Buonaparte appears to be as great a gallant as he is a Gen. We were told a little while ago of his being attached to Mrs. Billington, and now it would appear, he has deserted that English beauty, and has fixed his affections on our lady of Loretto!
March 7.
Buonaparte still penetrating further into Italy, states in a letter dated from head quarters at Macerata on the 13th ult. that he hoped to be that evening at Foligno, 69 miles distant from Rome. Of the treasure of Loretto, the value of which was estimated at three millions of livres tournois, only about one million had fallen into his possession.
In a subsequent letter, dated from Ancona on the 18th, the same general mentions, that the French troops had got possession of Mubria, country of Peragia, and the small province of Camerina.
Gen. Collie, according to letters from Rome of the 5th ult. was employing every means to check the progress of the enemy, and had even embodied a part of the felons, in order to augment his army.
Letters received yesterday from Castle Douglas mentioned, that a great firing was heard on Tuesday evening last, supposed to proceed from some engagement at sea, and conjectured to have taken place somewhere near Whitehaven.
Yesterday morning two mails arrived from Lisbon, brought by the King George packet to Falmouth in 8 days. The following article is extracted from the journals of that vessel:
The St. Trinidad, oft 30 guns, was
seen the same evening of the action, with the loss of her main-mast, and her lower deck ports in the water, on the day following our reconnoitring frigates could discover only 21 sail of the Spanish, it was supposed that the Saint Trinidad must either have been towed away by another line of battle ships, or sunk which was most likely the case.
By some British officers arrived in town yesterday from France, we have the following particulars, the authenticity of which may be relied on. These gentlemen state, that France is in the utmost state of confusion. Several discoveries have been made by the Directory, that by various bodies, and in various parts of France, a revolution was intended, at the period of the general elections; in consequence of which, the projected invasion of this country, is, for the present, suspended, and all the troops along the coast, as far as Brest, were on their march to Paris and its vicinity.
The plan of an invasion of this country, however, the British nation may be assured, is not laid aside. After the elections are over it will unquestionably be carried into execution, as there are about 100,000 men of whom the French government wish to get rid. Had it not been for the interruption given by the elections, the invasion was intended to have been made about the present time. The delay, we have no doubt will only increase the certainty of our security against all their attempts, by an increase of preparation to resist them. There is almost an universal cry in France for peace.
A Brussels paper of the 27th ult. contains a letter from Vienna, dated on the 9th ult. mentioning that the Pope was expected in that capital, and that he was to take up his abode in the palace of his nuncio there. The levy of recruits was vigorously pursued, and Vienna alone was to furnish, at its own expense, 6000 men. An ordinance for levying the Hungarians in a mass, was to be published in a few days. All were in arms in Upper and lower Austria, and proper organization was only required; for of men there was an abundance.
A dangerous and criminal manoeuvre has been practised in various parts of this kingdom, as well as in the metropolis. Two persons get into an assembly of tradesmen or others; one offers a bank note at a certain discount and the other takes it: and then a report is spread that the bank paper decreases in value. The conduct of people who thus sport with the public credit cannot be too severely reprobated.
We are extremely happy to learn that the late advices from India are of so satisfactory a nature as to render the departure of the Marquis Cornwallis for that country unnecessary; and we understand it is now determined that his lordship shall not proceed neither.
An article from Bolzem dated Feb. 8, inserted in the Brussels papers says "The Archduke Charles, arrived on the 6th at Inspruck, where he had a long conference with Count Hehrbach: the next day he set out for Goetz, and he will immediately take the command of the army of Italy, if the inhabitants of Carniola and Corinthia were taking up arms."
It was yesterday rumoured in the political circles, we hope without foundation, that near three millions in specie is about to be remitted to the Emperor and other foreign powers, for the purpose of continuing the cause which has plunged the country into its present lamentable situation namely, the war.
Perhaps there cannot be a stronger proof of the necessity of some measure being adopted to prevent the exportation of guineas, than the circumstance made known by the Hamburg mail. The value of a guinea at Hamburg was equal to six and twenty shillings. Who can doubt then that many persons should be found who would carry on a barter to drain this country of its specie.
The number of French emigrants in England appears, by an exact account authenticated by government, to be between twelve & thirteen thousand.
On Thursday night last accounts were received at the admiralty, that the Spanish fleet had been seen safely through the Gut of Gibraltar, and steering to the northward under easy sail. They are no doubt destined to Brest to join the French fleet.
Orders were sent to Portsmouth,
in consequence of this news, to stop the sailing of Sir Alan Gardner's squadron.
It is said that a Flotilla is equipping at Flushing consisting of a great number of transports destined for an expedition against Scotland, it is said that the Dutch are to furnish the ships and the French the men.
We have entertained an idea for some days, that the Frenchmen landed in Pembrokehire were brought to our coast on no regular military expedition, but merely that the French government might rid itself of men who were considered as unfit even for the society of France—This supposition is confirmed by the following article extracted from L'Eclair of the 21st ult.
Brest, Feb. 12.
A project for regimenting the felons of this port, has been for some time spoken of. Some would not believe it, because it would be contrary to the constitution; while others rejected the idea that the government could dream of employing such means against the enemies of the Republic. This project, however, is no longer a chimera, but is on the point of being put in execution. A small expedition, composed of the frigates Vengeance and Resolution, the corvette Constance, and the lugger Vautour, will immediately sail, under the orders of the chief of division, Castagner. Yesterday, and the day before, about 1200 felons, chosen from amongst the robbers, deserters, and other refractory soldiers, were embarked on board these vessels; they are organized into a corps, under the orders of chiefs taken from amongst them, and are armed and clothed alike.
Their actual destination is unknown, but it is presumed to be against some foreign country. It is impossible to paint the joy of these new kind of soldiers; it approaches to enthusiasm, and is doubtless produced by the promises made to them, and which they themselves only know; but I cannot think they ought to be of a nature to put them on a level with brave soldiers.
BRUSSELS, February 22.
Letters from the bank of the Rhine state that the plan of the campaign intended by the French Generals upon the banks of that state which was to be purely defensive, is wholly changed, since the enemy have found themselves obliged to march a great part of their forces in Italy, in consequence of Buonaparte's victories. It is now certain, that the French armies will again penetrate into the heart of Germany, to operate a powerful diversion which shall oblige the enemy again to separate his forces to defend the interior of the Empire.
Gen. Hoche is every way expected at the army of the Sambre and Meuse, with a numerous suit of superior officers: it is not known what command that General will have, but it is believed that he will be put at the head of the army of the North, reinforced by two divisions of that of the Sambre and Meuse. General Moreau, after having visited all the positions occupied by the Republican troops on the Right Bank, is returned to Cologne, whither he has ordered his head-quarters to be transferred.
The right wing of the army of the Sambre and Meuse, posted in the Hansdruck, is every day weakened by draughts for Italy. Already 18 or 20 thousand men have marched for that destination.
Two regiments of horse chasseurs who had taken up their winter quarters in the neighborhood of this city, have gone to Holland, where the greatest ferment reigns. Every day numbers are arriving.
PARIS, February 15.
Letters from Rome of the 3d inst. state, that Cacault, the French minister, has proposed very moderate terms to the Pope, which the latter after convening his privy council of Cardinals, has thought proper to reject.
His holiness is said to have excommunicated all the French, by a Bull, signed ever since the 7th ult. The farther victories of the French and the capitulation of Mantua, were known at Rome on the 3d inst. at which time the holy father was going to review his army, and gave the general benediction.
Redacteur.
The Italian Republic of Cispadana, has appointed Signior Zava, minister plenipotentiary to the French Repub-
lic. Zava, is a ci-devant noble, who will set out immediately to relieve the other delegates from their mission to the Directory. L'Eclair, Feb. 15.
On the 31st ult. it was reported at Frankfort that the Prussians were advancing to the Rhine, and that the King of Prussia, tired of negotiation so long and so unsuccessful with the states of the empire, and the diet of Ratisbon, is determined, in order to indemnify himself for the enormous expenses which the siege and recapture of Mentz had cost him, to back his pretensions by force, and to seize the Lower Palatine, which he means to hold till satisfaction shall have been given him. Others attribute the movement among the Prussian troops to different motives, and think that Frederick has it in contemplation, by means of his armed neutrality, to make either, or both of the belligerent powers accept of his mediation.
COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED.
SITTING OF THE 23D PLUVIOSE.
A secretary reads a message to the Directory, announcing the surrender of Mantua.
The council decreed that the army of Italy had not ceased to deserve well of its country, & adjourned amidst the acclamations of "Vive la Republique," "Long live the BRAVE DEFENDERS OF THEIR COUNTRY."
This event was likewise the subject of a message from the Directory to the Council of Ancients, with the additional circumstance, that "the army of the Pope had been defeated."
Pluviose 18.
They write from Verona, that the astonishment and indignation of the Austrian officers taken prisoners in the last affair, were at their height in learning that the Emperor's agents who had a conference with Gen. Clarke, had announced to him, that they would not acknowledge the French Republic, and that the same officers had been highly diverted at the snare and witty answer made them by General Clarke: "In that case, gentlemen, there must be two parties to play this game, and being one of them, I declare to you, that the French Republic is determined not to acknowledge the Emperor of Germany." This spirited answer disconcerted a little the Imperial negotiators.
Hoche's patronimic name is Lazarus:—the English papers compare him and his troops to the patron whose name he bears, ever since the ministerial papers have made the abyss of the Ocean swallow him. They call this event "the resurrection of Lazarus."
Pluviose 25.
We have received the agreeable news, that the Emperor Paul I, had opened his ports to French ships. The communication between our Republic and the Russian empire are re-established, in spite of all the efforts of Austria. We are indebted to the King of Prussia for this political stroke, which will probably disconcert England and the hired Journalists in Paris.
Mr. Pinckney set out yesterday from Paris, he says he is going to return near those who sent him here. It is not well known whether he was Malmesbury or departed of his own accord. His departure has visibly alarmed his countrymen throughout France. As there were no American vessels in the ports of France ready to sail, and that his departure seemed to be urgent, he went by land to Holland.
Yesterday Gen. Angereau presented to the Directory 66 stand of colors taken by the invincible army of Italy, from the Austrians composing the garrison of Mantua.
February 18.
THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORY TO GEN. MASSENA.
The Executive Directory gives you joy Citizen General, on the late successes which you have gained over the enemies of the Republic. The brave division which you command has crowned itself with glory during the three successive days which have finally forced Mantua to capitulate, and the Directory thinks it is in duty bound to esteem you among the best and most useful of the Republican Generals.
THE SAME TO GEN. KILMAINE.
The surrender of Mantua Citizen General, naturally brings to the Di-

rectory's mind, how happily you have forwarded that event by commanding the blockade of that place. After having given repeated proofs of talents and valor, on the field, you will find in the command of Lombardy an interesting opportunity of displaying new qualities equally precious, and the Directory still relies on your abilities and the purity of your Republican principles.
THE SAME TO GEN. ANGEREAU. You continue to maintain with glory Citizen General, the brilliant reputation you have acquired. The Directory with pleasure acknowledges that your able manœuvres, when Alvinzi was about releasing Mantua, has much contributed to the success of the Republic. New opportunities will soon present themselves to signalize your military talents, and your Republicanism, and they are the best reward for services rendered to the country.
THE SAME TO CITIZEN DUVIVIER, CHIEF OF A SQUADRON OF THE 9TH REGIMENT OF DRAGOONS.
The Directory, Citizen, have read with the most lively satisfaction the brilliant details of the combat you fought in presence of your troop, with the chief of the Hulan, who dared to bid defiance to your bravery. The Squadron you commanded, enflamed by your example, vanquished the corps opposed to it—and thus is the boldness of officers always the sure pledge of victory. Among the many noble actions which have happened during the war of Italy, the Directory distinguishes the one which so highly meets their approbation.

Political question answered according to the present European mode.
What is the best method of supporting the balance of power?
Answer. Get what you can, and keep what you get. Or, in other words:
Cut off half a million of superfluous carcaes on each side, exhaust all purposes till they are as light as a feather, throw into each scale a debt as heavy as the moon, fight till no party can lay more than a grain weight on either side, and you will approach the happy equilibrium.
FIRE,
On Thursday night last between the hours of nine and ten, the stable of Mr. Hudson, on Water street in this town was set on fire—it was immediately discovered, and by the timely exertions of the inhabitants, the flames were extinguished before they could communicate to the adjoining buildings.—This is the fifth attempt that has been made to set the town on fire within a few months.
One Thousand Dollars Reward.
WHEREAS, there is sufficient reason to suppose that this town has been attempted to be SET ON FIRE by some malicious person or persons. Be it known, that the inhabitants thereof, in order to discover and bring to justice the perpetrators, who are, or hereafter may be guilty of a crime so heinous, and dangerous to society; have raised a subscription of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, as a reward to any person &c. who shall discover and prosecute to conviction such incendiary.

Notice.
WHEREAS on the first day of April, 1783, Joseph Farrow enters 1000 acres of land on the south side of the north fork of Licking, at the mouth of a small creek on the lower side, to include his improvements. Also enters 500 acres, by virtue of a treasury warrant, on the waters of the north fork of Licking, joining his preemption on the south-east side. And whereas the proof of the said improvements depends on the oaths of persons now living, this is, therefore, to notify all whom these presents may concern, that I shall, on the fifteenth of June next, attend at the mouth of Farrow's creek with the commissioners appointed by the court of Mason county, with sundry witnesses, to perpetuate the spot where the said improvement stood, and do such other things in the premises as may be deemed necessary and agreeable to law.

"Supervisor's Office, 22d April, 1797."
BEING assured of legal assistance, the Supervisor of revenue for the district of Ohio, has it in charge from the Treasury department, to make a strenuous effort to enforce the collection of the duties arising from distilled spirits, stills, &c. And is instructed that the first demands ought to be made of those delinquents whose example in opposition to the law has been most influential. If they shall manifest a disposition to submit to the law, by complying with any formal injunctions before omitted, and shall agree to pay the duties which shall have accrued, for two years prior to the first day of July 1797, the Supervisor ought to settle with them on these terms, without coercing the penalties, or the former arrears. If however opposition is made to a compromise on these principles, suits ought to be commenced both for the whole arrears, and for all penalties which have been incurred.
"If a disposition to a compromise shall not be perceived among the influential non-compliers with the law, suits ought to be commenced against this class of men generally; with respect to men of inferior consideration and influence, suits may be suspended until further instructions are received. And it is farther particularly recommended,—that the Supervisor carry the preceding plan of operations into a prompt and complete execution, in a frank, candid, and conciliating spirit, by himself and his collectors."
To which the Supervisor takes this occasion to add,—that as temperance and forbearance have ever been primary considerations with him in the execution of his office; it is with pleasure he communicates the foregoing benevolent propositions on the part of the government of the United States, and flatters himself, that the people to whom they are made, will see in them, as well the indulgence of the government, as the indispensable necessity of enforcing the execution of the law, against all opposition.
T. MARSHALL, Supervisor.
TAKEN up by the subscriber, living in Harrison county, at the mouth of Twin creek, one gray mare 3 years old, 13 hands high, has no brands appraised to 10l.

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 M cCall 's Apothecary's shop near Gray pen Lexington. The Articles principally are for making the following liquors, viz.
Spirituous anniseed-water ditto clove-water ditto orange-water, all sours, &c. Also for making brandy and geneva equal in flavour and purity to that imported—There are upwards of 3000 lbs. of Holland juniper berries, and 1000 lbs. anniseeds, 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 anniseed 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 mace of the very best pewter, having ten turns and weighing upwards of 500 lbs. 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.
J. GEARY.
N.B. The title indisputable.
The Supervisor of Revenue for the district of Ohio, being advised that suggestions have been made, that large sums of money have been received by the officers of revenue in this district, which have not been accounted for at the treasury; and knowing that none has come to his hands which has not been accounted for; finds himself under the necessity of again calling on the several collectors in the district who have not settled their accounts, which he now does for the last time—to come forward immediately and settle their respective accounts and pay in their respective collections, which, if they should omit, he is charged forthwith to prosecute as delinquents, and shall proceed accordingly. Being determined, that if this suggestion is true, it shall apply to the guilty only, and that if it is not true, its falsehood shall attach to its author; and the innocent made to appear.

MAY. For thee, sweet month, the groves green liv'ries wear, If not the first, the fairest of the year; For thee the Graces lead the dancing hours, And nature's ready pencil paints the flow'rs. The sprightly May commands our youth to keep The vigils of her night, and breaks their sleep; Each gentle breast with kindly warmth she moves Inspires new flames, revives extinguish'd loves.
Two men were one day fishing from the side of one of the wharfs in Philadelphia. One of them, in order to divert himself a little, began a conversation with the other as follows: "I was one day fishing from this wharf about seven years ago, and by accident dropped a gold ring and diamond—two years afterwards, as I was fishing again in the same place, and having caught a fish, what do you think I found in his belly when I opened him?"—"Why the ring and diamond, to be sure!" said the other—"Guts only, upon my honor," replied the first.
